Somerfield<br />
residents<br />
lose fight<br />
to stop<br />
multi-unit<br />
complex<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A TWO storey multi-unit<br />
development has got the go ahead<br />
in a tree-lined Somerfield street,<br />
in spite of fierce opposition from<br />
residents.<br />
Multay Developments plans to<br />
build four two-storey units at 23<br />
Studholme St.<br />
Residents rallied to fight the<br />
development earlier this year<br />
because they said it would take<br />
away the street’s family-orientated<br />
appeal, privacy and the<br />
neighbours’ sun.<br />
But because of district planning<br />
rules, the development has<br />
now got the green light.<br />
Originally, Multay Development’s<br />
application featured three<br />
aspects not compliant with the<br />
District Plan. A hearing earlier<br />
this year decided consultation<br />
with some neighbours would be<br />
needed as part of the resource<br />
consent process.<br />
But city council head of<br />
resource consents John Higgins<br />
said Multay Developments had<br />
since amended its plans to fully<br />
comply with the District Plan.<br />

IT SEEMS situations like on<br />
page 1 are becoming more and<br />
more common.<br />
Residents in Somerfield have<br />
been lobbying against an apartment<br />
complex, which they say<br />
will take away privacy and sun.<br />
But it got the green light from<br />
the city council because the<br />
District Plan says it’s okay.<br />
In some good news, the Port<br />
Hills will be well represented in<br />
the country’s 52nd Parliament.<br />
Labour’s Ruth Dyson, National’s<br />
Nuk Korako and the Green<br />
Party’s Eugenie Sage will all get<br />
another term in Wellington.<br />
Although a special congratulations<br />
must go to Ms Dyson for<br />
securing her hold on the electorate.<br />
She is now one of the longest<br />
serving MPs in Parliament, so<br />
she must be doing something<br />
right.<br />

Sitting MPs still hold power<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
ALL THREE of the sitting MPs<br />
in the Port Hills electorate have<br />
made it back into Parliament.<br />
Ruth Dyson increased her 2014<br />
election night majority to retain<br />
her electorate seat for a fourth<br />
term.<br />
She has now been in Parliament<br />
for 24 years, making her<br />
one of the longest-serving current<br />
MPs.<br />
The <strong>2017</strong> campaign had been<br />
the most exciting she’d been<br />
involved in, she said.<br />
“The level of interest, especially<br />
from young people, has just been<br />
great. I like it when people are<br />
passionate about their community<br />
and their country, wanting<br />
to improve things, and we’ve had<br />
all of that during this campaign.”<br />
Labour was about 800 votes<br />
behind National in the Port Hills<br />
electorate party vote, which was<br />
a “huge lift” on 2014’s result.<br />
Green MP Eugenie Sage, who<br />
is third on the list and also the<br />
party whip, returns to Parliament<br />
after the Greens attracted<br />
5.9 per cent of the party vote.<br />
Ms Sage was with party faithful<br />
at the Lyttelton Arts Factory<br />
on Saturday night.<br />
“We were optimistic we would<br />
get returned to Parliament,<br />
though it is bittersweet in terms<br />
of seeing caucus colleagues like<br />
Denise Roche, Barry Coates and<br />
Mojo Mathers no longer with us;<br />
we’ve got a substantially reduced<br />
team,” Ms Sage said.<br />
RETURNING:<br />
Labour’s Ruth<br />
Dyson (far left),<br />
the Green Party’s<br />
Eugenie Sage<br />
and National’s<br />
Nuk Korako have<br />
all made it back<br />
into Parliament<br />
to represent<br />
the Port Hills<br />
electorate.<br />
“But we’ve been this size before<br />
and championed a lot of issues<br />
and we’re looking now to see<br />
if we can get a coalition and<br />
change the Government.”<br />
It was “too soon” to speculate<br />
on whether she would put her<br />
hand up for the co-leader position<br />
vacated by Metiria Turei.<br />
Ms Sage plans to continue<br />
championing clean waterways<br />
and rivers and working out ways<br />
to deal with the effects of climate<br />
change.<br />
Meanwhile, Port Hills residents<br />
will continue to see Nuk<br />
Korako’s mobile office parked<br />
around the electorate, after he<br />
was returned at No 42 on the<br />
party list.<br />
National gained 46 per cent<br />
of the party vote on Saturday<br />
night, although this may change<br />
slightly by the time special votes<br />
are counted on October 7.<br />
Mr Korako attended a National<br />
Party function at Chateau<br />
on the Park on Saturday evening.<br />
He said the strength of National’s<br />
party vote in Christchurch<br />
wasn’t a surprise.<br />
“I thought it would be more,<br />
on the basis of our record, particularly<br />
in Christchurch.”<br />
While he was saddened to see<br />
the demise of the Maori Party,<br />
there was now an opportunity<br />
to build National’s engagement<br />
with Maori through Kahurangi<br />
Blue, a National Party group<br />
focused on Maori policy issues,<br />
said Mr Korako.<br />

Paintball<br />
attack in<br />
Cashmere<br />
• By Sophie Cornish and Andrew<br />
King<br />
PEDESTRIANS, vehicles<br />
and property were the target<br />
of paintball gun attacks last<br />
week and over the weekend in<br />
Cashmere.<br />
Police are looking for a Blue<br />
Ford Ranger, possibly an early<br />
2000s model with a canopy<br />
on the back, in connection<br />
with a number of incidents in<br />
Cashmere and New Brighton,<br />
where paintball guns were<br />
discharged.<br />
The attacks began on<br />
Wednesday last week. Sergeant<br />
Jim Currie said it was a very<br />
serious matter and they needed<br />
to catch who was responsible<br />
before someone was badly hurt.<br />
“They just don’t realise the<br />
damage they can do or injuries<br />
they can cause. It is classed<br />
as a firearm, so a very serious<br />
offence,” he said.<br />
Pedestrians, vehicles and<br />
properties were fired on in<br />
Cashmere at the weekend,<br />
Sergeant Currie said.<br />
The New Brighton drive-by<br />
shootings on Lonsdale St, Keyes<br />
Rd and Marine Pde saw green<br />
and yellow pellets fired at cars,<br />
fences and homes.<br />
Lonsdale St resident Samuel<br />
Kent heard a loud bang and<br />
discovered a window had been<br />
smashed from a paintball gun<br />
pellet.<br />
Paint was splattered on his<br />
curtains and windowsill.<br />
Mr Kent said several<br />
properties were hit along his<br />
side of the street on Wednesday<br />
night.<br />
The New Brighton Club was<br />
also hit six times on the same<br />
night. Its windows required<br />
professional cleaning.<br />
Anyone with information<br />
about the paintball attacks<br />
should phone police on 363 7400<br />
or Crimestoppers anonymously<br />
on 0800 555 111.<br />

GETTING OUT on the streets<br />
is an inspiring way to find out<br />
about people’s lives, says folk<br />
singer Adam McGrath.<br />
The frontman of local band<br />
The Eastern has been spending<br />
time with his guitar and laptop<br />
at different sites around the city<br />
for a project he’s calling The Sit.<br />
McGrath received funding<br />
from the city council’s Enliven<br />
Places Projects Fund for his plan<br />
to gather stories from everyday<br />
people he meets.<br />
Making coffee and tea on a<br />
gas cooker and serving dried<br />
fruit and a few other snacks,<br />
McGrath has been in Woolston,<br />
the central city and Linwood. He<br />
will now head to New Brighton.<br />
And after spending a week at<br />
each of the four locations around<br />
the city, he plans to record the<br />
songs he’s written on location.<br />
In the summer, he and The<br />
Eastern will perform free<br />
concerts at three of the four sites<br />
– opposite the Peterborough St<br />
Library, in New Brighton, and in<br />
Linwood.<br />
“It’s been really inspirational,<br />
not just musically but also as a<br />
person, just talking to people<br />
and feeling the commonalities.<br />
So many people and so many<br />
different walks of life but these<br />
common things keep repeating<br />
themselves,” he said.<br />
There have been some<br />
memorable moments, such as<br />
when a seven-year-old taught<br />
him a song she’d learnt at school.<br />
A few weeks into the project<br />
he’s already written several<br />

people talking about loss and<br />
in that moment of loss finding<br />
something within themselves<br />
that carries them through, and<br />
balances out the loss. That’s<br />
been really nice and really cool,<br />
because I’m troubled, as we all<br />
from it’s base in South New<br />
Brighton Park.<br />
Members are currently<br />
working out of five shipping<br />
containers.<br />
To re-build the new clubrooms,<br />
$1 million is needed.<br />
Once completed, club commodore<br />
Alastair Burgess said the<br />
are, and hearing that takes the<br />
edge off.<br />
City council transitional<br />
projects adviser Brindi Joy said<br />
the fund is about contributing<br />
grant funding to people and<br />
groups who are supporting the<br />
city’s regeneration in a positive<br />

Studholme St residents fail<br />
to stop two-storey units<br />
•From page 1<br />
Because of that, it no longer<br />
required resource consent, so<br />
consultation was not needed.<br />
It has gained building consent.<br />
Studholme St resident Marty<br />
Flanagan said they still wanted<br />
to fight the development, but it<br />
would have to<br />
go through the<br />
courts and that<br />
could be costly.<br />
The site used<br />
to be home to a<br />
three-bedroom<br />
Marty<br />
Flanagan<br />
bungalow.<br />
But following<br />
the earthquakes,<br />
the zoning on that<br />
side of the street was changed<br />
to residential suburban density<br />
transition as part of the new<br />
District Plan.<br />
The zone allows for higher<br />
density development.<br />
“All of these got snuck through<br />
the District Plan change just after<br />
the earthquakes and it wasn’t<br />
really communicated clearly<br />
enough,” Mr Flanagan said.<br />
He said the District Plan gave<br />
all the “power” to the developers.<br />
“It’s going to turn Somerfield<br />
into a Riccarton or a Sydenham,”<br />
he said.<br />
NO WAY: Somerfield residents have been opposed to the<br />
development on Studholme St since they found out about it.<br />
“If we wanted to live 10ft from<br />
our neighbours, we would have<br />
bought somewhere like that.”<br />
A spokeswoman for Multay<br />
Developments director Warren<br />
Taylor said he did not want to<br />
comment.<br />
The situation is similar to one<br />
on Spreydon’s Bolton Ave, where<br />
five two-storey townhouses are<br />
being built just metres away from<br />
Kim Mehlhopt’s home of 15<br />
years, without consultation.<br />
She said it will devalue her<br />
home and cost her privacy and<br />
quality of life.<br />
City councillor Phil Clearwater<br />
said both situations were<br />
“unacceptable” and he wanted a<br />
change in legislation allowing the<br />
District Plan to be altered.<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere Community<br />
Board chairwoman Karolin<br />
Potter said both situations were<br />
terrible.<br />
“You can’t call them houses,<br />
they’re just future dumps. Huge,<br />
blocky, ugly and horrible,” she<br />
said. “It’s bloody hard when the<br />
District Plan allows it to happen.”<br />

Fresh from capturing the<br />

last week, the 28-year-old was<br />
then using his verbal jab to defend<br />
people in the district court<br />

“I actually didn’t have too<br />
many bruises when I turned up<br />
for work on Monday, which was<br />
a good thing,” he said with a<br />
cheeky grin yesterday.<br />
Teki-Clark fought Tyson<br />

last year and lost. This year he<br />
won on points.<br />

US opportunity for scholar<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
FROM ACTOR James<br />
Franco to Family Guy<br />
creator Seth MacFarlane,<br />
the Rhode Island School of<br />
Design has produced some<br />
artistic greats.<br />
And one day<br />
Aidanfield resident Amy<br />
Huang, will be on the list<br />
of alumni.<br />
The 19-year-old has<br />
flown to the United States<br />
to take up a place in the<br />
fine arts programme,<br />
based in Providence.<br />
Ms Huang will be able<br />
to cross-register her classes<br />
against the same offered<br />
at the Ivy League Brown<br />
University.<br />
And the Rhode Island<br />
school wasn’t her only option<br />
in the states.<br />
Ms Huang was also accepted<br />
into Pittsburgh’s<br />
Carnegie Mellon University,<br />
which Andy Warhol<br />
attended, and she made the<br />
waiting list for Harvard<br />
University.<br />
“The Rhode Island<br />
School of Design is well<br />
known and respected for<br />
its arts faculty, in fact it is<br />
probably the most prestigious<br />
university in that area<br />
SUCCESS: Amy Huang was the dux at Rangi Ruru in<br />
2016. <br />
of study, so I am thrilled,”<br />
she said.<br />
But Ms Huang is fully<br />
aware it’s not going to<br />
be an easy ride – she’s<br />
ready to work hard at<br />
something she is passionate<br />
about.<br />
“I look at this as an investment<br />
into my future,”<br />
she said.<br />
Ms Huang was the<br />
dux of Rangi Ruru Girl’s<br />
School in 2016.<br />
She plans on studying in<br />
the US for four or five years<br />
before she graduates with a<br />
Bachelor of Fine Arts.<br />
Clare reilly - DanCe of life<br />
In Clare Reilly’s new exhibition, ‘Dance of Life’ she expresses the resilience and tenacity to keep finding<br />
joy and beauty in the natural surroundings. Especially in the hard times, when confronted by the big<br />
challenges in life, that we must all pass through at some stage.<br />
There are events, such as the death of a loved one, that can turn our lives upside down. Finding strength<br />
in nature can help us to stay connected and grounded and bring a sense of being part of the dance of life.<br />
These paintings are meditations on the quiet moments, where we can<br />
step away from everyday stress and become fully present and find a<br />
sense of peace.<br />
They are an invitation to breathe in the moment and dance with life.<br />

TEAM EFFORT: Students from Linwood College and pupils from St Anne’s Catholic School<br />
planted 1000 trees in Charlesworth Reserve last week. <br />
STEPPING UP to enhance<br />
their community, pupils from<br />
St Anne’s Catholic School in<br />
Woolston and year 7 and 8<br />
students from Linwood College<br />
came together to plant almost<br />
1000 natives at Charlesworth<br />
Reserve last week.<br />
Both schools are recipients<br />
of the Kiwi Can values and life<br />
skills programme, delivered by<br />
the Graeme Dingle Foundation.<br />
A requirement of the programme<br />
is that each year the<br />
students undertake a project for<br />
their wider community.<br />
This year the schools elected to<br />
come together and work together<br />
at the Charlesworth Reserve,<br />
a 20ha area of land between<br />
Linwood Ave and Humphries<br />
Drive.<br />
Restoration of the area as a<br />
wetland began in 1991. Since<br />
then over 100,000 trees, shrubs<br />
and marsh plants have been<br />
planted at this site. This is an<br />
important habitat for native<br />
wetland birds.<br />
Students demonstrated what<br />
they have learned about respect<br />
for their community and respect<br />
for their environment while also<br />
role-modelling how to be leaders.<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
Team effort plants 1000 trees<br />
“It’s really exciting to see the<br />
students working on a project<br />
like this,” said Kiwi Can leader<br />
Nicky Cameron. “We teach the<br />
theory and now we support them<br />
to get out and do it in the real<br />
world.”<br />
Ross Smith, Kiwi Can leader<br />
at Linwood College said the students<br />
had been very responsive<br />
to the project.<br />
“They know they are making<br />
a genuine contribution to their<br />
own community and are now<br />
able to monitor the success of<br />
their contribution. This type<br />
of initiative really helps our<br />
students to develop community<br />
pride along with self-esteem,” he<br />
said.<br />
Lyttelton ‘seagull’<br />
leaves union legacy<br />
Raymond Fergus<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
ONE OF the last remaining men<br />
involved in the 1951 waterfront<br />
dispute, Raymond (Ray) Fergus,<br />
passed away in Ashburton on<br />
<strong>September</strong> 12, aged 90.<br />
Mr Fergus worked<br />
as a casual labourer or<br />
‘seagull’ on the Lyttelton<br />
docks, and later<br />
became a ‘walking<br />
delegate’ who liaised<br />
with the port company<br />
on health and safety<br />
matters.<br />
He was 24 years of<br />
age when, on February<br />
15, 1951, the unionised<br />
wharfies were locked<br />
out after resolving<br />
to work only their contracted<br />
hours.<br />
The lockout continued for 151<br />
days. Arguing that New Zealand’s<br />
export trade was under<br />
threat, the National Government<br />
declared a state of emergency.<br />
Troops were sent onto the<br />
Auckland and Wellington<br />
wharves to load and unload<br />
ships and draconian emergency<br />
regulations imposed rigid censorship,<br />
gave police sweeping<br />
powers of search and arrest and<br />
made it an offence for citizens to<br />
assist strikers – even giving food<br />
to their children was outlawed.<br />
Mr Fergus was interviewed<br />
for a 2002 documentary on the<br />
lockout called 1951, along with<br />
wharfie Baden Norris.<br />
Mr Norris, 90, of Sumner,<br />
started in the union with Mr<br />
Fergus, where they were both<br />
rank and file members during<br />
the strike.<br />
“We all had various roles (such<br />
as) going and digging potatoes<br />
and onions from farmers that<br />
were friendly to us. He was a<br />
good guy, a worker. He could<br />
have moved up the ladder but<br />
he chose to stay within the<br />
union movement. He was a good<br />
workmate, and that’s the best<br />
accolade you could have.”<br />
Mr Fergus went on to become<br />
national president of the Waterfront<br />
Workers Union from 1969-<br />
79 as well as a Lyttelton branch<br />
secretary and president.<br />
He was president of the Lyttelton<br />
Waterfront Workers<br />
Union during 1979 and 1980,<br />
and served on the executive for<br />
many years.<br />
Maritime Union Lyttelton<br />
branch secretary<br />
Gary Horan said he<br />
was a workmate to<br />
hundreds of watersiders<br />
during his career<br />
on the wharf.<br />
“A lot of the conditions<br />
that present<br />
members enjoy are because<br />
of the hard work<br />
and battles Ray and<br />
members like him fought for<br />
over the years,” said Mr Horan.<br />
“I remember as a young<br />
watersider listening to Ray<br />
make many speeches at the<br />
stop work meetings held at the<br />
old centennial hall. He was an<br />
eloquent speaker and had a vast<br />
knowledge of the politics and<br />
legislation ruling our industrial<br />
relations at the time.”<br />
Mr Fergus was married for<br />
more than 60 years to June,<br />
who he first spied at the age of<br />
15 while at cricket practice in<br />
Waltham Park.<br />
The pair tied the knot at St<br />
Saviour’s Church, Sydenham in<br />
1953 and went on to have two<br />
children, Robyn and Mark and<br />
two grandchildren, Francis and<br />
Heather.<br />
Said Heather in the eulogy<br />
given at her grandfather’s funeral<br />
on <strong>September</strong> 18:<br />
“Granddad tread with purpose<br />
the path that unfurled itself<br />
for him. He was whole of heart;<br />
wholehearted in his work, his<br />
life and his love.”<br />
She told Bay Harbour News<br />
she was an “incredibly proud<br />
granddaughter of a man who<br />
stood up for true equity, and<br />
fought injustice howsoever<br />
small, and wherever found. Nor<br />
was he quelled by the magnitude<br />
of an aggressor, but sought harmonious<br />
resolution, always.”<br />

Message from the Catholic Diocese<br />
of Christchurch<br />
Our Diocese is proud of Marian College. The school is<br />
thriving at its inner-city campus location alongside the<br />
Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on Barbadoes Street.<br />
Marian College shows us clearly that the heart of a<br />
Catholic school lies not in its buildings, but in a strong,<br />
supportive community built around faith.<br />
Marian College belongs to the Catholic Kāhui Ako<br />
Community of Learning, one of our 13 schools in<br />
Christchurch. Each school has an affiliated parish and<br />
networks contributing to the Diocese.<br />
Alongside our Diocese earthquake rebuild and repair<br />
programme, our parishes have been offered the chance to<br />
focus on spiritual renewal as we wait for a new Bishop<br />
to be appointed.<br />
The process for the rebuild of Marian College’s campus<br />
will be a priority for our new Bishop, who will ultimately<br />
make the decision on Marian College’s permanent site.<br />
This decision will not be made in isolation however,<br />
there are many factors to consider and groups to consult<br />
with, given the changes in our communities since<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
The Diocese looks forward to keeping the community<br />
updated on progress. In the meantime, Marian College<br />
continues to achieve excellent results and to thrive.<br />
A special thank you goes to the Marian College<br />
community – students, parents, staff and leadership, for<br />
your ongoing patience, support and cooperation.<br />
Fr Rick Loughnan<br />
Catholic Diocese of Christchurch Administrator<br />
The Marian College Principal<br />
Marian College is very fortunate to have a small, friendly,<br />
family atmosphere which comes from teachers and<br />
students knowing each other well.<br />
I am delighted to share that our students and teachers are<br />
making the very best of our current site – opportunities<br />
for collaboration are plenty and the benefits that come of<br />
an inner-city location are taken up with enthusiasm.<br />
At Marian College our special Catholic character is<br />
built into everything we do. Our earthquake recovery<br />
journey has taught us, that while brand new buildings and<br />
facilities are an exciting proposition, it is our faith, our<br />
community and our people that matter. I am excited about<br />
the future of Marian College – we can all look forward to a<br />
bright, sparkling new start. I hope you enjoy reading about<br />
some of our recent happenings.<br />
Mary-Lou Davidson,<br />
Marian College Principal<br />
Feast Day Festivities<br />
One of the most anticipated events on the Marian<br />
College calendar is Feast Day – recognised every year to<br />
celebrate the Assumption of Mary. This year, Feast Day<br />
began with a whole school Mass, which included the<br />
blessing of the new music department, featuring practice<br />
spaces and a multipurpose room.<br />
Traditional Feast Day activities involve Marian College’s<br />
house groups coming together in Xavier Hall to compete<br />
in a talent quest and house group chant competition.<br />
Rivalry between the four Marian College houses –<br />
Brodie, Deans, Seymour and Takahe – is strong and<br />
overwhelmingly positive. Students have been known to<br />
rehearse their chants and performances for up to six weeks<br />
in advance, polishing their acts ready for competition.<br />
Each performance is judged and awarded house points<br />
which are tallied throughout the year. The house with<br />
the most points earned – for academic, sporting, cultural,<br />
service and cultural achievements – is awarded the annual<br />
Inter-House Shield at the end of year school prize giving.<br />
Aiming for France<br />
Football talent Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu)<br />
could be heading to France next year to represent New<br />
Zealand and play in the 2018 U20 Women’s World Cup.<br />
The Year 13 Marian college student helped captain<br />
the New Zealand U19 Football team to victory in the<br />
Oceania Football Confederation championships in<br />
Auckland recently, securing the team’s spot in France,<br />
2018. Rebecca captained the team twice over the five<br />
game campaign which saw the team win all their games<br />
convincingly. Rebecca is a member of the Football Ferns<br />
development squad and has played with Mainland Pride<br />
(the National Women’s regional team) for three years.<br />
RIA KNEY<br />
Judo medallist<br />
Congratulations to Ria Kney (Ngāti Kahungunu) who<br />
won a gold medal in the U52kg girls category at the New<br />
Zealand Secondary Schools Judo Tournament last term.<br />
She won all five of her fights in the one day tournament<br />
held at Lincoln High School. Ria also won gold in two<br />
categories at the Auckland International Judo Open<br />
tournament held three weeks later at ASB Stadium in<br />
Auckland. One of her fights lasted just ten seconds!<br />
Wellbeing and service<br />
A priority for Marian College this year has been student<br />
and staff wellbeing. This year, Marian has introduced two<br />
new courses: Kia Maia and Mana Wahine. Kia Maia is a<br />
course for Year 9 students which focuses on wellbeing,<br />
character strengths, use of money, cyber safety and<br />
developing study and life skills.<br />
The Mana Wahine course aims to promote strong Marian<br />
women. Especially for year 12 students, the course<br />
teaches wellbeing, study techniques, life skills, careers,<br />
financial literacy and service.<br />
Marian College has a strong commitment to providing<br />
service to the community. Not only students, but staff<br />
members are also actively involved.<br />
Marian College staff members rolled up their sleeves<br />
recently, to spend an afternoon participating in a range of<br />
service activities including assisting at Christchurch City<br />
Mission and St Vincent de Paul, cleaning up a beach,<br />
gardening for the Beatitude sisters, making goods for<br />
Christchurch Hospital’s neo-natal unit and other<br />
children in need.<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> Jam<br />
Marian College’s Jazz Band travelled to the <strong>Southern</strong><br />
Jam Jazz Festival in Blenheim recently – taking part<br />
in the showcase and celebration of the South Island’s<br />
secondary school jazz bands. Marian College’s Jazz Band<br />
performed at eight public venues and took home a bronze<br />
award. Band director Frances Daly is a Marian old girl<br />
currently studying at Ara Jazz School. Frances inspired<br />
the Jazz Band to compose an original song ‘Dirty<br />
Window’, which won Best Original Song at this year’s<br />
Christchurch Jazz Festival.<br />

international trends<br />
reflected in centre’s food outlets<br />
The Hub Hornby has undergone significant developments and improvements<br />
over the last four years, with the aim of providing an exciting<br />
and diverse shopping experience for its customers.<br />
One of the key areas that is drawing people into the centre is its fully<br />
revamped food court, centre manager Jason Marsden says.<br />
“Customers are really enjoying the variety and quality of the food<br />
offering in our food court, as well as the more contemporary atmosphere,”<br />
Jason says.<br />
“International trends in food courts are changing what used to be quite<br />
boring places to eat, to becoming much more of an experience for<br />
customers, and that’s what we offer at The Hub,” he says.<br />
“Not only does our food court have a great variety of food, there is<br />
also a range of seating options. For example, we have the round tables<br />
for groups, and the leaners where people can stop for a quick bite and<br />
check their mobiles.”<br />
The acoustic ceiling tiles also enhance the environment by reducing<br />
noise and making it easier for people to have a conversation, Jason says.<br />
With a range of ethnic food, including popular Asian cuisines such as<br />
Indian, Chinese and Japanese, complemented by tasty café-style foods,<br />
there is plenty for customers to choose from in the food court.<br />
But that’s not all. The Hub has several other cafés and food outlets<br />
located amongst the retail businesses, and here again the environment<br />
and food quality has gone up several notches, Jason says.<br />
“The cafés have become more restaurant-style, with blackboard menus<br />
being offered as well as the traditional cabinet food, and again this is in<br />
line with international trends.”<br />
The rooftop car park at The Hub has also enhanced the shopping<br />
experience for customers, with easy access in and out.<br />
“Shoppers can drive straight up to the car park then take the lift<br />
directly down to the food court area,” Jason says.<br />
“Parent car parks right next to the entrance also make it easier for<br />
those with children to load their shopping and push chair straight into<br />
their car.”<br />

SOUTHERN WESTERN NEWS VIEW<br />
time to get started<br />
with spring planting<br />
By RACHEL VOGAN<br />
As the days get longer and the soil slowly<br />
begins to warm up and dry out, the time is<br />
right to set about growing your own greens to<br />
feed the troops.<br />
POTATOES<br />
The first sprouted potatoes can go in the<br />
ground now in the warmer climates. If your<br />
soil isn’t ready, grow an early-crop in large<br />
tubs or potato planters. This option will yield<br />
just as well as growing in the ground, and enable<br />
you to tuck the pots up against the house<br />
to protect them from cold snaps. Early-crop<br />
varieties to plant now include ‘Jersey Benne’,<br />
‘Rocket’, Swift’, ‘Cliff Kidney’, or ‘Liseta’. Remember<br />
to enrich the soil with potato food!<br />
PEAS<br />
Peas are a super quick and easy crop to grow,<br />
and have the advantage of being remarkably<br />
hardy to cold temperatures. They prefer a<br />
fertile soil in full sun, and would benefit from<br />
a supporting frame or series of stakes to keep<br />
the crop off the ground.<br />
Sow seed directly in the garden where you<br />
wish it to grow, allowing 10-15cm between<br />
each plant. I put two seeds in each hole.<br />
Cover the area with mesh or netting as birds<br />
just love to peck at fresh pea shoots as they<br />
emerge through the soil.<br />
Once the plants reach 15-20cm, the leaves<br />
don’t seem to have as much appeal, so the<br />
nets can be removed. They are a great crop<br />
for tubs and planters, and dwarf varieties<br />
are wonderful in hanging baskets or window<br />
boxes. Plant plenty, as once they come ready,<br />
you never seem to have enough.<br />
RADISH<br />
Crisp and zingy, everyone has room to grow<br />
these nuggets of goodness. All you need is a<br />
kitchen bucket, some vegetable mix and seeds,<br />
and you’ll be in business. Why not grow them<br />
at work if you have a sunny outdoor space?<br />
It could make for a fun inter-office challenge,<br />
with prizes on offer for the biggest, smallest,<br />
ugliest, tastiest and funniest-shaped radish!<br />
Personally, I prefer the round marble to<br />
golf-ball-sized types, although the cylindrical<br />
varieties do get a lot bigger and therefore give<br />
you more bang for your buck.<br />
Sow from seed now in rows, or try sowing<br />
them in a circle or a pattern – kids love doing<br />
this. Note that you won’t find radishes in<br />
punnets, as they are very difficult to transplant<br />
without damaging the roots, so planting in a<br />
seed line is definitely the best way forward.<br />
ROCKET<br />
Rocket, or arugula, is one of the fastest-growing<br />
and tastiest salad greens around. It is the<br />
epitome of a low-maintenance crop; you can<br />
scatter seed directly onto the ground and walk<br />
away, and will be greeted with seedlings within<br />
a few weeks, and harvestable leaves only a<br />
fortnight to a month later. Plants are widely<br />
available all year round. If the soil dries out in<br />
summer, the plant will bolt and go to seed, so<br />
perk up old, tired soil with sheep manure or<br />
compost before planting in order to avoid this.<br />
It’s an ideal resident for the patio and window<br />
boxes near the kitchen, and if you keep picking<br />
it without allowing it to flower, it will crop for<br />
up to six months or more, as long as the soil<br />
remains fertile and regularly watered.<br />

re-purposed<br />
products<br />
for new & renovated<br />
homes<br />
For Canterbury people, the name Musgroves is synonymous<br />
with recycled and pre-loved building materials and household<br />
items that can happily find a place in their new or renovated<br />
home.<br />
Founded by Dave Musgrove in 1942 as a general cartage<br />
company, it became Musgrove Bros when Dave was joined by<br />
his brother Alf in 1946. The business operated as a cartage and<br />
road contracting company until 1970.<br />
The previous year, when the management was taken over by<br />
Graeme Vickers, the company’s work had extended to include<br />
demolition and the sale of recycled materials. Demolition<br />
continued for a number of years, before Musgroves began to<br />
specialise in buying and selling recycled building materials.<br />
Since those early days, the product mix has evolved, and there<br />
are now many different types of product carried by Musgroves,<br />
general manager Sue Brown says. Volume has expanded significantly<br />
too, with some 70,000 items now on the yard at any<br />
one time, including new and pre-used.<br />
For Musgroves, re-purposing products is at the heart of their<br />
philosophy, Sue says.<br />
“We’re here to help people with their renovations. Many of<br />
our items are materials left over from building jobs, such as<br />
insulation, roofing iron, trellis etc.<br />
“The pre-used items people bring in include items such as<br />
doors, ranchsliders, windows, and kitchen units. And there is a<br />
huge selection for customers to browse through.”<br />
Of course there are the special treasures, too. One Sue is particularly<br />
thrilled with is a series of large oak ceiling panels, each<br />
in four sections, which came from an architecturally designed<br />
home, and lay unused for seven years before they were taken<br />
to Musgroves.<br />
Another unusual item is a large, four-door oak entertainment<br />
cabinet, which Sue says could be an eye-catching feature piece<br />
in someone’s new or renovated home.<br />
People renovating older properties often need to match existing<br />
items that are no longer being manufactured, a problem<br />
that can often be solved at Musgroves. They have Pinex ceiling<br />
tiles, for example, and clay roof tiles, most of which are now<br />
not available on the market.<br />
Those building new homes and wanting to add character to a<br />
contemporary design may choose to install tongue and groove<br />
flooring made from recycled timber, or use old door and cupboard<br />
handles or locks, Sue says.<br />
With new building products continually being developed and<br />
replacing existing ones, the range at Musgroves is constantly<br />
changing and growing. One example, says Sue, is ACM (aluminium<br />
composite) panels, which are waterproof so are ideal<br />
for bathrooms and create a unique effect.<br />
Musgroves is located at 3 Musgrove Close, Wigram. Opening<br />
hours are Monday to Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 8am-4pm.<br />

community to beneFit<br />
from building extensions<br />
The team hard at work.<br />
There is a lot of hard work going on at the Hei Hei building<br />
known as 1<strong>26</strong> On the Corner, with the local community set to<br />
benefit.<br />
Formerly named St Aidan’s church, the building was purchased<br />
by the Hei Hei Broomfield Community Development Charitable<br />
Trust three years ago for the community’s use with support<br />
from the Christchurch City Council, and is currently undergoing<br />
extension work.<br />
The extensions will incorporate an office and increased storage,<br />
with earthquake strengthening work being carried out on<br />
the side of the building.<br />
“This is the first of a number of planned improvements to the<br />
building,” community development worker Tracey Buunk says.<br />
“The men from the <strong>Southern</strong> Institute of Technology are doing<br />
all the building work for us – at an amazing rate. They started a<br />
month ago and we expect to be completed by Christmas. The<br />
floor is down and in a few weeks the framing will be erected<br />
and the roof put on.<br />
“The extension is being generously supported by Council,<br />
the local Community Board, the Lotteries Commission, R.A.<br />
Shearing’s, Mitre 10, Action Scaffolding, Fahey’s Fencing and SIT,”<br />
Tracey says.<br />
“The cost will be greatly reduced by the donations of time,<br />
materials, equipment and funds. Many thanks to everyone for<br />
their contributions.”<br />
Activities 1<strong>26</strong> On The Corner provides for the community<br />
include a cooking group, a variety group, a walking group, tai<br />
chi, men’s group, tea and tots group, fun fit group, community<br />
lunches and Kix Taekwondo.<br />
First aid courses and church services are also held in the building,<br />
and it is available for hire for private functions.<br />
Two weeks ago, the trust’s sheds were broken into and the Kix<br />
Taekwondo equipment was stolen.<br />
“We are very saddened that this has happened,” Tracey says,<br />
“and we are now looking at how we can replace the $3200<br />
worth of equipment the group needs for when it meets two or<br />
three times a week.”<br />
As an employee of Anglican Care Community Development<br />
and a trustee on the board, Tracey is keen to find out what<br />
other activities the community would like to see being run in<br />
the building.<br />
“We want to know where the gaps are in our community and<br />
the ways we can continue to grow together for the benefit of<br />
local people.<br />
“We have a group of volunteers that make it possible to offer<br />
all that we do and allow us to increase what we offer. Without<br />
their commitment 1<strong>26</strong> On The Corner would be unable to<br />
make a positive difference in our community.”<br />
Anyone requiring information on the community group activities,<br />
hall hire or volunteering can contact Tracey on 342 5864<br />
or 022 017 6278.<br />
local gym changing<br />
the way fitness is delivered<br />
Culture Fitness in Halswell and Wigram are<br />
aiming to change the way fitness is delivered<br />
so everyone can feel comfortable and get<br />
the results they deserve.<br />
“We are trying to change the perception<br />
of what a gym looks like in our community.<br />
We believe the fitness industry is a service<br />
industry, not just an equipment provider like<br />
most gyms have become,” owner Ricki says.<br />
“Our Personal Trainers believe that support<br />
and motivation should not be an added<br />
extra and they are always happy to help. The<br />
best thing is that Culture Fitness has the<br />
lowest price of any gym in the area.<br />
“Another big difference is that we don’t<br />
have mirrors, we are for real people wanting<br />
to feel better and get fitter, not to stand<br />
around looking at yourself,” Ricki says.<br />
“People spend lots of time in front of the<br />
mirrors at other gyms and it’s uncomfortable<br />
– you should feel comfortable at a gym<br />
not judged.<br />
“Flexibility and convenience are also at the<br />
forefront of our thinking. We have structured<br />
Culture Fitness in such a way that you<br />
should never have to wait for equipment<br />
and still get a great workout no matter what<br />
time you come in.<br />
“One aspect of how we do this is our<br />
Express Fitness Lanes where you can get<br />
in and out knowing you have had a great<br />
workout in just 35 minutes.”<br />
Culture Fitness is also one of the only gyms<br />
in the west to incorporate the My Zone<br />
heart rate monitoring system, Ricki says.<br />
“This ensures you are working at the level<br />
that is right for you according to your personal<br />
fitness level.<br />
“Culture Fitness really is very different, but<br />
you will need to see it for yourself.”

World cup Fever<br />
about to hit hornby<br />
Volunteer tradesmen spent many hours getting<br />
the clubrooms ready for the visitors.<br />
There are exciting times ahead for the Hornby Rugby League<br />
Club. Shortly they will host The Kiwis Rugby League Team for<br />
training sessions ahead of their World Cup match against Scotland<br />
at AMI Stadium on November 4, <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
“In April this year we offered to host the Kiwis for their training<br />
sessions,” club president Brent Tomlinson says.<br />
“The Rugby League World Cup organisers, New Zealand Rugby<br />
League, Canterbury Rugby League, our own club and the Christchurch<br />
City Council all got on board.”<br />
A lot of work needed to be done to prepare the club’s facilities<br />
for the visitors, Brent says.<br />
“The council was responsible for preparing the grounds, and the<br />
club’s role was to upgrade the clubrooms. Our changing rooms<br />
needed a complete makeover to bring them up to international<br />
standards.<br />
“The changing rooms have been relined and repainted and the<br />
showers have been completely refurbished. This has involved<br />
hours and hours of work by volunteer tradesmen to get it all<br />
done.<br />
“It was also an expensive project, and funds have come from<br />
fundraising, grants, a number of sponsors and local club supporters,”<br />
Brent says.<br />
“We would like to thank Keith Burgess, Peter Lawrie, Ho<br />
Hogg, Kent Ramsay, Craig Dunn, Mike Dormer, Mark Allison of<br />
Independent Fisheries, Jason Hatton of Hatton Plastering, Dean<br />
Brewster of Brewster Building, Air Rescue and CERT for their<br />
support.”<br />
The project has also required sacrifices from the Hornby Rugby<br />
League members themselves.<br />
“We haven’t been able to play games at our home field all<br />
season, but that’s how committed we are to having the Kiwis at<br />
Hornby. Kiwis’ coach David Kidwell is a Hornby Rugby League<br />
Junior and we are proud that he is bringing the Kiwis to his<br />
home club.”<br />
Work on the clubrooms started in early April, with the finishing<br />
touches being put on the facilities just last week.<br />
expertise built on family heritage<br />
For Christchurch real estate agent Pip Sutton,<br />
real estate is a family heritage spanning<br />
four generations over approximately 93<br />
years.<br />
It all started with her great-grandfather Frederick<br />
in 1924, out of Lyttelton. Her grandfather,<br />
Fred, continued working in Lyttelton,<br />
setting up an office in London Street, which<br />
still stands today.<br />
Pip’s father Dave became a partner in Simes<br />
real estate in Christchurch in the early 1970s<br />
until 2005 when it was sold for retirement<br />
purposes. From the age of just 18 months Pip<br />
became part of it, with many early memories<br />
of attending property auctions, visiting building<br />
sites and regular office visits where the<br />
auction gavel and lectern were often used as<br />
play toys.<br />
“I grew up in the business,” she says. “During<br />
school holidays I worked in Dad’s office. I<br />
spent a lot of time relieving as receptionist,<br />
in accounts and assisting putting marketing<br />
packages and the likes together, oh and lots<br />
of Sunday drives around new developments<br />
within the city and Lyttelton Harbour with<br />
the family.”<br />
On leaving school Pip gained a Bachelor of<br />
Commerce & Management degree with a<br />
marketing major. She gained valuable experience<br />
and skills working as a top sales and<br />
marketer for multi-national market leaders<br />
within New Zealand and the UK.<br />
In 2005, Pip returned to Christchurch to<br />
commence her real estate career under the<br />
guidance and wisdom of her father.<br />
“This involved long hours of intensive learning.<br />
He passed on an in-depth understanding<br />
of Christchurch’s land and development right<br />
through from the early Lyttelton days. This<br />
included understanding district plans, zoning,<br />
the development process. How to research<br />
properties deeply to uncover potentials for<br />
new owners. How to listen to people and<br />
respond to their needs.<br />
“He passed on that little bit of magic, which<br />
had been handed down from three previous<br />
generations of learnings from great depressions,<br />
World Wars and within my career, the<br />
Global Financial Crisis and pre and postearthquake<br />
environments.”<br />
In 2014, Pip joined Ray White Real Estate,<br />
because she liked their in-depth attention<br />
to real estate law and management style<br />
at the Cashmere office, plus being a family<br />
brand itself spanning back to the early1900s,<br />
she recognised the more caring nature of<br />
the brand, perhaps due to over 100 years of<br />
learnings being passed down too.<br />
“you are working with people during a milestone<br />
time in their life, they are often already<br />
under stress. A real estate agent’s job is to<br />
assist in relieving the stress, not adding to it.”<br />
Pip has become a successful and highly<br />
regarded real estate salesperson across<br />
the city. For her, the most enjoyable and<br />
important part of the process is to spend<br />
time with both buyers and sellers, using her<br />
in-depth knowledge of the Canterbury property<br />
environment to assist in achieving the<br />
best possible outcome for her clients.<br />
As she puts it: “My measure of success is the<br />
quality of the results I achieve for my clients,<br />
not the number of houses I sell. I would<br />
rather take more time getting my client into<br />
a better position than collecting listings and<br />
making quick sales.”<br />

changes & celebrations for 60-year-old school<br />

The blessing ceremony<br />
These are significant times for the longestablished<br />
Sockburn School in Springs Road,<br />
Hornby. This year the school is celebrating its<br />
60th anniversary, and next year will mark the<br />
first step of a major change.<br />
In January 2018, the school will be given a new<br />
name – Wigram Primary, and this will be in<br />
preparation for the school’s relocation to the<br />
Wigram Primary site on the Runway in January<br />
2019, principal Heather Walkinshaw says.<br />
Detailed design of the new school is currently<br />
underway, with construction to be carried out<br />
by Southbase.<br />
“Southbase has had recent experience with<br />
new school builds, and will bring their expertise<br />
to the build,” Ms Walkinshaw says. “Work<br />
on the new school is expected to start in<br />
January 2018.”<br />
The new site was blessed by representatives<br />
of the local Taumutu Rununga on August 8,<br />
with the ceremony attended by the then Associate<br />
Minister of Education, Tim Macindoe.<br />
The school will also have a new uniform with<br />
a new logo, which is now being embroidered<br />
on to the new uniforms.<br />
The logo, which features two kahu facing each<br />
other with the runway through the middle, has<br />
been designed to represent the history of the<br />
area. Kahu were prevalent in the area and the<br />
runway recalls the history of the air force at<br />
Wigram.<br />
second and third generations,” staff member<br />
Jude Ingram says.<br />
“It will also be the last of these events for us<br />
as the existing Sockburn School. We are holding<br />
a range of events on Friday, November 3.<br />
These include visiting learning spaces, photos,<br />
afternoon tea and a dinner at the Wigram<br />
Base Conference Centre.<br />
“The school has always been well supported<br />
by the community, as one of our parents<br />
said recently: ‘The school has had a lot of<br />
long-serving staff, which is a reflection of the<br />
loyalty to the school. The school has a great<br />
sense of community. Everyone works very well<br />
together. The staff are dedicated to the success<br />
of all students.’”<br />
LOOKING BACK…<br />
The first headmaster of Sockburn Public<br />
School when it was established in1957 was Mr<br />
A. R. Chambers. A photo from the time shows<br />
there were 11 teachers, a clerical assistant and<br />
a nurse.<br />
An aerial view dated January 1957 shows<br />
how little development there was at both the<br />
airbase and in the surrounding area.<br />
The first school committee was formed in<br />
1957 and the iconic school pool, which was<br />
opened in1961, is still used by the students.<br />
The Wigram Airbase families had a long connection<br />
with the school until Wigram Aerodrome<br />
was closed in 1995 following the CFS’<br />
relocation to RNZAF Ohakeatwo years earlier.<br />
At that point Sockburn School roll dropped<br />
by about 80 students. Some school relocatable<br />
buildings were then removed to Hagley High.<br />

providing their constant stream of customers with<br />
a delicious selection of food – freshly baked and<br />
prepared on the premises every day.<br />
As these customers know, whether savoury or<br />
sweet, sandwiches, paninis, filled rolls, muffins<br />
or slices, every item in the cabinets is as<br />
tempting to the taste buds as it is to<br />

here, every<br />

fresh baking when they<br />
come in the door.”<br />
One of the specialties at Gorgeous<br />
Foods is their pies. The quality of the<br />
pies was recognised by the judges at the <strong>2017</strong> NZ<br />
Bakels Supreme Pie Awards, placing them seventh<br />
in the Café Boutique section for their creamy<br />
chicken and leek pie. Other varieties they produce<br />
include lamb shank and kumera mash, and the<br />
customer favourite, real beef and cheese pie.<br />
Gorgeous Food also offers delicious Vivace coffee,<br />
which is roasted in Christchurch, with Pete and<br />

Supporting the community is important to Pete and<br />
Jo, and on August 18 they ran their annual Cupcake<br />

went to the organisation, with just over $500 being<br />
raised.<br />
Gorgeous Food can also cater for lunches, morning<br />
teas and afternoon teas, with the food being boxed<br />
up and ready for collection as required.<br />
Since last year, Gorgeous Food has been opening on<br />

Waterloo entrance<br />
momentum continues With<br />
ongoing development at business park<br />
Caffé and Pocket Park<br />
Hornby’s Waterloo Business Park continues to<br />
grow at an impressive rate, bringing increased<br />
business activity to the area. In driving through<br />
the park, there is a palpable sense of activity<br />
and momentum owing to the large number of<br />
sites currently under construction.<br />
“Waterloo reached its tipping point sometime<br />
in the past 12 months,” assistant development<br />
manager Joel Webber says, “where we gained a<br />
critical mass of sales and construction activity<br />
that marked a transition from large, burgeoning<br />
industrial subdivision to an active and<br />
dynamic business environment.<br />
“On the back of this transition, the focus<br />
of the development team at Waterloo has<br />
squarely shifted to completion of the two<br />
remaining stages of development,” Mr Webber<br />
says.<br />
“Titles for the 6.3ha Stage 5 of development<br />
are expected in mid to late October. Earthworks<br />
on the final stage of development, the<br />
7.3ha Stage 6, is well underway with titles<br />
expected to issue in early 2018.<br />
“On the periphery of our own on-site works,<br />
we’re eagerly anticipating the completion<br />
of NZTA’s Pound Road realignment works<br />
towards the end of the year. This will be a key<br />
milestone in the ongoing evolution of Waterloo<br />
Business Park, delivering outstanding<br />
roading network connectivity to our owners<br />
and occupiers.”<br />
The freight and logistics fraternity has identified<br />
and acted upon this opportunity with<br />
several transport-based businesses having<br />
established in close proximity to this future<br />
arterial route. These businesses have futureproofed<br />
themselves over the medium to long<br />
term and are positioned well for growth and<br />
success, Mr Webber says.<br />
There are currently 14 businesses established<br />
and operating within the Business Park with<br />
a further 10 sites under construction. In<br />
recognition of the changing dynamics within<br />
the Business Park, Waterloo recently launched<br />
its inaugural owners and occupiers networking<br />
event.<br />
“We believe that Waterloo can be, and should<br />
be a business micro-community,” Mr Webber<br />
says. “We’ve seen first-hand the internal<br />
business opportunities that take shape when<br />
owners and occupiers at Waterloo Business<br />
Park get in the same room as one another.<br />
We want to encourage and nurture a strong<br />
business community at Waterloo and we see<br />
a regular networking event as a terrific way<br />
to foster and develop understanding of, and<br />
familiarity with, the other businesses on-site<br />
and promote internal business transactions<br />
within the Business Park.”<br />
The philosophy behind the regular networking<br />
events is that each quarter a different business<br />
hosts the event on site. The host business<br />
has the opportunity to give an overview of<br />
what they do and undertake a tour of their<br />
premises before breaking out into informal<br />
networking over drinks and nibbles.<br />
“Our inaugural networking event was hosted<br />
by Hagley Building Products back in June and<br />
was a resounding success. The second event<br />
was held on <strong>September</strong> 19, and generously<br />
hosted by Cardinal Freight.”<br />

southern motorWay<br />
work on track<br />
Despite an unusually wet winter, work on the $195 million<br />
Christchurch <strong>Southern</strong> Motorway – Stage 2 (CSM2) project<br />
has not been held up, with more than 300,000 cubic metres of<br />
earth moved, two new local roads built and the first of eight<br />
bridges almost complete.<br />
Principal project manager Geoff Griffiths says people can<br />
expect to see more changes over the coming months as work<br />
ramps up.<br />
Mr Griffiths noted that on Wednesday August 30, two<br />
180-tonne cranes put the final four ‘Super-T Beams’ that make<br />
up the Main South Road Bridge into place.<br />
“The structure, which will take Main South Road traffic up<br />
and over the motorway, is made up of 16 locally made precast<br />
beams, which range from 30 to 35 metres long and weigh up<br />
to 68 tonnes each. It will be the first of the project’s eight<br />
bridges to be finished,” he said.<br />
Along with the Main South Road Bridge, the CSM2 team have<br />
also started constructing the Waterholes Road and Trent<br />
Road bridges and built two new local roads - Tiptree Lane and<br />
Manion Road.<br />
“These new roads will give people access to their homes and<br />
local businesses, and in the case of Manion Road, allow the<br />
CSM2 team to carry on with work to four-lane the motorway<br />
from Weedons Road towards Curraghs Road,” Mr Griffiths<br />
said.<br />
“Meanwhile, at the city end of the project, John Paterson Drive<br />
is being realigned to join with Halswell Junction Road. This<br />
work will continue until the end of the year when the new<br />
alignment is expected to open to traffic.”<br />
Mr Griffiths said people travelling around the Selwyn District,<br />
near the project, should expect detours and road closures at<br />
times as work on the project continues.<br />
“Traffic will be closely monitored to try to reduce disruption<br />
and delays; however, people should plan ahead and allow extra<br />
travel time as work continues on the CSM2.<br />
“We would also like to remind people to obey the traffic<br />
management that is in place while the project is underway.<br />
The speed restrictions and road closures are in place for your<br />
safety as well as the safety of our crews.”<br />
The Christchurch <strong>Southern</strong> Motorway (Stage One, completed,<br />
and Stage Two, underway) is expected to halve travel time<br />
between Rolleston and Christchurch at peak times from 30<br />
minutes to 15 and reduce fatal and serious crashes by 40 per<br />
cent.<br />
Stage Two is on track to be open to traffic in early 2020.<br />
Why just cuts<br />
The difference between a good<br />
haircut and a bad haircut is three<br />
weeks! Heard that one? yes, it’s<br />
out there but it doesn’t apply to<br />
a Style Cut from Just Cuts at The<br />
Hub Hornby. Why?<br />
Firstly, all their stylists are fully<br />
qualified, with many years’ experience<br />
in the industry. But more<br />
importantly all their cuts are<br />
supported by a seven-day guarantee!<br />
So, if for any reason you are<br />
not 100 per cent happy, go back<br />
within seven days and the issue<br />
will be rectified free of charge.<br />
“We offer this because we are<br />
confident with our services, and<br />
not all salons offer this,” says<br />
Team Leader Michael Turner.<br />
“And then there’s our level of<br />
service. Unsolicited testimonials<br />
not only praise the haircuts, but<br />
the service, attitude of our stylists<br />
and the happy environment<br />
to enjoy your haircut. That could<br />
be why we have over 70 per cent<br />
of clients returning to our salon,<br />
and so many recommending us to<br />
their families and friends.”<br />
One such happy client, Trina, is<br />
pictured here when she won the<br />
August Promotion Gift Basket<br />
(valued at $300) just for buying a<br />
product.<br />
“Created exclusively for Just<br />
Cuts, the Justice Professional<br />
range is amazing,” Michael says.<br />
“Paraben free, organically created,<br />
Trina Benson receiving her Gift basket from Owner/Team Leader<br />
Michael Turner<br />
not tested on animals and again carrying that seven-day<br />
guarantee. What more could you ask for – oh, Bonus<br />
Cards you say? yes, they are available too. After seven<br />
haircuts, your eighth one is free! And so, if you are a family,<br />
you can just imagine how quickly that adds up.<br />

pharmacist<br />
oFFers options<br />
for treating causes<br />
not just symptoms<br />
Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?<br />
You may be surprised to find one of New Zealand’s<br />
most highly qualified and experienced<br />
health care experts in Hornby.<br />
At Stay Well Pharmacy on Shands Road, Naturopathic<br />
Pharmacist Mark Webster provides<br />
patients with options over and above standard<br />
medicinal and pharmaceutical care.<br />
“Integrated Medicine is about taking the best<br />
of everything,” Mark says. “By looking at diet,<br />
lifestyle, exercise and daily routines, I can<br />
provide solutions that treat the cause of your<br />
discomfort. Not just the symptoms.”<br />
For Mark, this means continually studying<br />
to keep up with the latest advancements in<br />
healthcare and medicine.<br />
“At the moment, I’m working towards my<br />
Master of Science in Integrated Medicine<br />
through George Washington University in<br />
America. Last year I completed a five year Fellowship<br />
in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine,<br />
having been a qualified pharmacist for <strong>26</strong><br />
years.”<br />
Mark’s approach to Integrated Medicine is<br />
attracting national attention. Having been a<br />
finalist for the past two years, in July Mark<br />
won the <strong>2017</strong> New Zealand Pharmacy Award<br />
for the Best Complementary Healthcare<br />
Campaign and this year he won the Kiwibank<br />
New Zealander of the year Local Hero Award.<br />

main motivation is seeing his patients find a<br />
new lease on life.<br />
“Everyone is different. What works for one<br />
person may not work for another. By bringing<br />
together advice from a patient’s doctor, dietitian,<br />
physiotherapist, or other health professional,<br />
I want to support people in finding a<br />
healthier way of living that works for them,”<br />
says Mark.<br />
Healthy solutions start with quality choices,<br />
so Mark only stocks products, vitamins and<br />
minerals that are backed by peer-reviewed,<br />
evidence-based research.<br />
On Tuesdays, Mark runs private consultations<br />
at the Pharmacy for you to discuss your health<br />
concerns. From that, he can design you a personalised<br />
wellness plan to help you live well,<br />
and stay well.<br />
Initial appointments are 60 minutes and additional<br />
appointments are typically half an hour.<br />
Mark’s training covers a wide range of conditions,<br />
but he has a special passion for skin<br />
conditions, gastro-intestinal issues, hormonal<br />
complaints or if you are simply sick and tired<br />
of constantly feeling sick or tired. Bookings are<br />
essential.<br />
If you would like to find out what a difference<br />
working with a Naturopathic Pharmacist can<br />
make to your health, call and make an appointment<br />

travel bags<br />
for every destination<br />
As the name suggests, Just Bagz in Dressmart<br />
Hornby is filled with hundreds of bags, with<br />
the main focus being on travel bags of every<br />
description.<br />
This family-run business, owned and operated<br />
by Graham and Julieann Griffiths, specialises<br />
in quality luggage from leading manufacturers<br />
including Samsonite, Eminent and Riccardo,<br />
with 90 per cent of the stock being brought in<br />
by the couple.<br />
Graham has been in the industry for over 40<br />
years, covering manufacturing, wholesaling and<br />
retailing, so with that experience and knowledge<br />
he can advise customers on the right bag<br />
to suit their requirements and budget.<br />
The bag purchased may depend on how many<br />
people will be using it, for example a family,<br />
how they are travelling – whether by road<br />
or air, and how much they want to take with<br />
them, or bring back.<br />
The first choice customers have, is between<br />
hard and soft luggage and this comes down<br />
to personal preference, Graham says. In both<br />
types there is a huge selection of sizes, styles<br />
and fashion colours – with modern luggage<br />
also being much more user-friendly. Ninety<br />
per cent of bags now have four wheels, making<br />
them very easy to manoeuvre and transport.<br />
Just Bagz also has a range of travel accessories<br />
including TSA locks and adaptors, passport<br />
holders and luggage labels.<br />
There is also a wide selection of backpacks<br />
– adult sizes in various styles, and children’s<br />
styles with novelty designs of their favourite<br />
cartoon characters.<br />
Also on display are wallets, shoulder bags and<br />
handbags in both leather and man-made materials,<br />
in a wide range of prices.<br />
So, call in for a browse, and have a chat to<br />
Graham or Julieann about what you are looking<br />
for. They will be very happy to give you<br />
some advice for your travel needs.<br />

SOUTHERN WESTERN NEWS VIEW<br />
residential groWth<br />
set to continue in the west<br />
The residential population of Christchurch’s western suburbs<br />
has grown significantly since the Canterbury earthquakes of<br />
2010 and 2011, and that growth looks set to continue for<br />
some time.<br />
A number of subdivisions have already been developed across<br />
the area in response to that growth, with more coming on<br />
stream over the next few years.<br />
One new one being developed is an extension to the existing<br />
Country Palms subdivision in Halswell, which was established<br />
prior to the earthquakes by development company Suburban<br />
Estates.<br />
“That one was well received and sold quickly,” company manager<br />
Tracey Watson says.<br />
“The new development is smaller, with 100 lots. The first stage,<br />
comprising 33 lots, has just been released, with the remainder<br />
to be released over the next couple of years.”<br />
Section sizes range from 400sqm to 700sqm, with access<br />
through the existing Country Palms development.<br />
“The subdivision has access to good infrastructure, with the<br />
opportunity to have access to Halswell Junction Road, and<br />
there are good facilities all within a kilometre,” Ms Watson<br />
says.<br />
A newcomer to the Christchurch market, Avanda Group, is<br />
developing a site at 197 Halswell Junction Road. Planning and<br />
design work has started and civil engineering work will get<br />
underway once designs are finalised, marketing manager Sarah<br />
Davidson says.<br />
The existing plan for the development includes 197 lots, with<br />
section sizes ranging from 300sqm to 650sqm.<br />
“There is an allowance within the plan for a small number of<br />
integrated housing lots, should the demand for such products<br />
develop over the course of the sales programme,” Ms Davidson<br />
says.<br />
She says Avanda has spent a number of months speaking to<br />
active parties in the market, and listening to what purchasers<br />
want.<br />
“This information has been at the forefront of our decision<br />
making. We are in the process of appointing a local urban<br />
design and landscape architect team to assist in the design of<br />
the layout and the treatment of outdoor spaces to make 197<br />
Halswell Junction Road a welcoming community,” Ms Davidson<br />
says.<br />
“Avanda chose to develop in Halswell as it is a growing and<br />
popular community that we wanted to be part of. There is a<br />
demand for good-sized sections in the area.<br />
“We hope this will be the first of many developments in<br />
Christchurch for Avanda.”<br />
Several other subdivisions in the area have had council consent.<br />
There are 205 lots over three subdivisions in Awatea Rd, Carrs<br />
Rd and Halswell Junction Rd.<br />
A further 634 lots across four sub divisions in Sutherlands Rd,<br />
Halswell Junction Rd, and Milns Rd are currently subject to a<br />
subdivision consent application.<br />

a chance to see,<br />
touch & feel latest building products<br />
The brand-new Design Centre set up last month<br />
by Jennian Homes in Main South Road Hornby<br />
provides a showcase for industry-leading building<br />
products that the public can “see, touch and feel”,<br />
says co-owner Dwayne Prendergast.<br />
“This is a completely different concept,” Dwayne<br />
says. “People can see a lot more in our Design<br />
Centre than they can in a show home.<br />
“The product selection includes state-of-the-art<br />
kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing products, exteriors<br />
claddings and much more, with all the proven<br />
brands represented.”<br />
Jennian Homes sales staff are available on site to<br />
talk to visitors about any of the products, and discuss<br />
how they can be incorporated into a Jennian<br />
Homes design.<br />
“We offer a range of standard plans, but we enjoy<br />
designing bespoke homes for clients to suit their<br />
section and their ideas. As our slogan says, ‘your<br />
personality, our expertise’.”<br />
Dwayne says Jennian Homes is unique in the building<br />
industry in Canterbury, in that the company directors<br />
– himself and project manager Paul Jenkins<br />
– have hands-on involvement with every project.<br />
“We work closely with our clients so they can talk<br />
to us at any time during the design and construction<br />
process.”<br />
Dwayne says there are “great opportunities” for<br />
people to build homes now in Christchurch and<br />
across Canterbury, with plenty of land opportunities.<br />
“Our team are working closely with all developers<br />
to be aware of the available land as it comes to the<br />
market.”<br />
Jennian Homes is opening two more show homes<br />
this year – one in the Faringdon sub-division in<br />
Rolleston, which will open at Labour Weekend, and<br />
the other in Rangiora, which will open just before<br />
Christmas.<br />
A well-established home-building company, Jennian<br />
Homes was launched in New Zealand 35 years<br />
ago, and has been in the Canterbury market for<br />
more than 20 years.<br />
Their new Design Centre is located at 212 Main<br />
South Road, Hornby, and is open seven days a<br />
week from 9am-5pm.<br />

SOUTHERN WESTERN NEWS VIEW<br />
the trickle-doWn<br />
effect<br />
By ROSS KIDDIE<br />
I’m a big motorsport fan, Formula One in<br />
particular.<br />
Even though Ferrari as a team is giving Mercedes-Benz<br />
a run for its money this season,<br />
the latter has dominated the sport in recent<br />
years.<br />
Ultimately, that success trickles down to sales<br />
from the showroom floor. That is certainly<br />
showing here in New Zealand. Mercedes-Benz<br />
is dominating the luxury car market and I<br />
don’t see that changing any time soon, simply<br />
because the raft of models and variants within<br />
each model range means there is a vehicle for<br />
all tastes and budgets.<br />
There is also a large proliferation of sporty<br />
models and the performance arm of Mercedes-Benz<br />
– AMG – has kept up the pace<br />
with high output models sitting in tandem<br />
within the line-up.<br />
I’m not sure how inspired AMG is from Formula<br />
One, but you can rest assured that some<br />
technology from the sport flows down to<br />
street vehicles.<br />
The latest AMG model to come my way was<br />
the C63S cabriolet, which has a twin-turbocharged<br />
4-litre V8 engine delivering monster<br />
power outputs of 375kW and 700Nm of<br />
torque.<br />
Even though these figures are highly impressive,<br />
the cabriolet can easily be driven sedately.<br />
It is at home at city speeds in a similar fashion<br />
to its four and six-cylinder counterparts. There<br />
are driver-selectable engine management protocols<br />
that can be set to many varying requirements.<br />
I even preferred the standard mode,<br />
which like all big V8 engines, means a relaxed,<br />
unstressed operating manner.<br />
However, when sport mode is selected, there<br />
is a constant solid surge of power that seems<br />
endless in its delivery. Acceleration is vivid – a<br />
standstill to 100km/h time of 4.2sec is wickedly<br />
fast, along with a 3.2sec overtaking time<br />
(80km/h to 120km/h).<br />
What I enjoyed most about the C63S’ performance<br />
is the sound that accompanies its delivery.<br />
It is loud and there’s even a button that<br />
enhances more noise; a backfire on gearshift<br />
and throttle blip on downshift is infectious to<br />
listen to.<br />
On that subject, drive is channelled to the<br />
rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic<br />
transmission. It is a direct shift-type and how<br />
it harnesses so much power and torque yet<br />
arranges the gears so smoothly amazes me.<br />
There are steering-wheel-mounted paddles<br />
for the enthusiastic driver, and management<br />
protocols, which quickly identify throttle<br />
percentage.<br />
The C63S cabriolet sits on huge rubber with<br />
wheels an inch smaller in diameter up front<br />
than those on the rear. The sport specification<br />
Michelin Pilot tyres (255/35 x 19in and 285/30<br />
x 20in) have huge grip, yet they are constantly<br />
tested when the power goes on. Thankfully, the<br />
traction control system is as good as any I’ve<br />
experienced before; there’s just a little bit of<br />
freedom within the system so that the driver<br />
Price – Mercedes-Benz C63S cabriolet, $189,900<br />
Dimensions – Length, 4686mm; width, 1810mm; height, 1409mm<br />
Configuration – V8, rear-wheel-drive, 3982cc, 375kW, 700Nm, seven-speed automatic<br />
Performance – 0-100km/h, 4.2sec<br />
Fuel usage – 9.4l/100km<br />
can experience the feel of grip loss at the<br />
rear under hard acceleration, but the squirm<br />
and oversteer is moderated without sudden<br />
intervention.<br />
One of the benefits of quality tyres is the feel<br />
through the steering, the C63S cabriolet has<br />
accurate turn-in along with strong feel – you<br />
can point and clip apexes delightfully. It must<br />
be said, though, the C-Class in this form is so<br />
competent it makes driving easy, the suspension<br />
is informative and that creates an involving<br />
driving experience. It is also rigid within<br />
the body structure.<br />
Like most premium manufacturers, Mercedes-<br />
Benz and AMG haven’t lost sight of the need<br />
to look after the environment, and even<br />
though the engine has big cylinders to feed,<br />
the fuel usage statistics are still realistic.<br />
Mercedes-Benz claims a 9.4-litre per 100km<br />
(30mpg) combined cycle average. At 100km/h I<br />
recorded an 8l/100km (35mpg) instantaneous<br />
readout along with a 11.2l/100km (27mpg)<br />
average over five days.<br />
However, a buyer who chooses C63S specification<br />
in any vehicle will understand that the<br />
quad-camshaft V8 likes to be released and fuel<br />
economy wouldn’t be a priority.<br />
At $189,000 the C-Class cab in this form<br />
comes at a premium price but it is chock full<br />
of goodies and, as you would expect from<br />
Mercedes-Benz, it wants for nothing.<br />
I’ve been quite spoilt recently with a lot of<br />
German product filtering through the press<br />
fleet – as well as soft and hard-tops from<br />
other brands – serving to prove the convertible<br />
market is showing no sign of dwindling.<br />
I’ve long said Christchurch doesn’t have the<br />
best weather for open-air motoring and I stick<br />
to that statement; that being the case, the<br />
coupe would be the car for me, but for anyone<br />
who gets to experience that amazing engine,<br />
there’s a chance they will be simply over-awed.<br />

By ROSS KIDDIE<br />
I’m on one of my favourite high country roads. The stretch<br />
includes short straights mixed with a combination of tight and<br />
open corners.<br />
The car is responding delightfully to the way it is being steered<br />
and I’m being entertained by its handling and balance. I’m<br />
thinking that this could be the best evaluation drive I’ve had for<br />
<strong>2017</strong>.<br />
No, I’m not driving a sports car or anything exotic. In fact, I’m<br />
in one of New Zealand’s budget models – a Mazda2 to be<br />
exact.<br />
The reason why I’m so smitten is not because the Mazda2 is<br />
fast or exciting, its performance is honest and it works hard<br />
to please through the chassis, but because the series is priced<br />
for affordability and in terms of all-round value for money it’s a<br />
real attention-grabber.<br />
Not only does it drive purposefully at all speeds, you also get a<br />
lot of kit on Mazda2, and for a car that lists under $30k, it is a<br />
rather special purchase.<br />
The test car was in Limited specification and it sits at $29,695;<br />
an entry-level GLX variant comes in at $21,945 while a GSX<br />
comes in at $24,945. I’m picking the GSX would be the car for<br />
me but the Limited variant does get a lot of kit, features which<br />
are included elsewhere in the Mazda line-up.<br />
Such are the changes for <strong>2017</strong>, the Mazda2 could certainly be<br />
described as having a facelift. There aren’t a lot of cosmetic<br />
enhancements, but there are new side mirrors, grille and wheel<br />
changes.<br />
The Automotive Lamp Specialists<br />
On the inside the dash panel graphics have been enhanced for<br />
clarity, there’s a new centre console display, while trim materials<br />
have been upgraded.<br />
More importantly, there have been chassis changes to promote<br />
the driving experience and that’s what I noticed during the<br />
time I tackled the exit from the Waimakariri River gorge. The<br />
most significant development is the addition of G-Vectoring<br />
Control, which improves handling and stability especially during<br />
emergency avoidance manoeuvres.<br />
In Limited specification that also combines with a suite of<br />
other collision avoidance technologies such as smart city brake<br />
support and driver attention alert.<br />
Together, these functions provide the Mazda2 driver with<br />
confidence at all speeds. You don’t need to be moving along at<br />
pace; in everyday situations the newcomer feels in control of<br />
itself and has a decisive feel from behind the wheel, which will<br />
lure drivers of all ages.<br />
That is the reason why I like the car’s balance so much. It just<br />
feels right from behind the wheel and you feel so much part of<br />
the car. That’s an aspect Mazda is building into all of its range,<br />
and along with the superb feel of quality that accompanies<br />
it, it’s no surprise that the new Mazda2 appeals,as does the<br />
company’s enture line-up in general. I’ve driven several from<br />
the manufacturer recently, and it’s fair to say the company has<br />
upped the ante in terms of desirability.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine,<br />
which drives out of a conventional six-speed automatic<br />
transmission. I mention that because Mazda hasn’t developed<br />
its turbocharging techniques any further and I guess it doesn’t<br />

need to. It claims 81kW and 141Nm from the engine, and with<br />
a 4.9l/100km (57mpg) combined cycle fuel usage claim the<br />
figures are healthy.<br />
There is also a sport mode the driver can activate for busier<br />
engine behaviour, and if you couple that to a manual sequential<br />
gearshift function, the sporty feel of Mazda2 will come into its<br />
own.<br />
I left the evaluation car mostly in normal mode and enjoyed<br />
the interaction between engine and gearbox. It is a traditional<br />
way of driving and for that reason I warmed to it, changes are<br />
crisp and smooth and the engine stays on song. Even though<br />
the area of maximum torque is high at 4000rpm, the Mazda2 is<br />
light and it doesn’t take a lot of energy to move it quickly (0-<br />
100km/h in 9.5sec) – the engine is unstrained and responsive.<br />

as to how they are reacting under pressure.<br />
The Mazda2 has reasonable freedom of movement within the<br />
suspension, the spring and damper rates favour the uneven<br />
surface of Christchurch’s roads, while occupant comfort has<br />
been an engineering priority.<br />
Christchurch is a tough market for Mazda2. There’s some fairly<br />
hefty competition here from Suzuki and its clever marketing<br />
campaign. However, Mazda also has a free servicing programme,<br />
which is most tempting – three years or 100,000km.<br />
All factors considered, the Mazda2 is a compelling buying<br />
proposition.<br />

early bookings provide best deals -<br />
travel team says<br />
Next year is open and now is the time to start planning your<br />
2018 holiday, says Hornby House of Travel’s Paula Waldeck.<br />
“Families planning overseas holidays in 2018 are encouraged to<br />
book early to get the best deals,” Paula says.<br />
“The school holidays are the busiest and most expensive time<br />
to travel, so by booking early people can reduce the cost.”<br />
Paula and her expert team at HOT have plenty of suggestions<br />
for customers looking for an overseas holiday that won’t break<br />
the bank.<br />
“For example, the Gold Coast is great value for money,” Paula<br />
says, “and anywhere in the South Pacific is also a good choice<br />
for warmth during the New Zealand winter, plus there is usually<br />
no time difference so that makes it easier with younger<br />
children.”<br />
For families with teenagers, she suggests a trip to Vietnam and<br />
Cambodia, where they can learn about different cultures and<br />
the different ways of life in that region.<br />
For those who are excited by the idea of river or ocean cruising<br />
and calling into exotic places, HOT suggests one of the<br />
many multi-destination cruises on offer.<br />
“There are ships for all budgets and so many itineraries to<br />
choose from around the world,” Paula says.<br />
Europe is always one of the most popular destinations for Kiwi<br />
travellers, with Croatia currently at the top of the list. Paula<br />
suggests island hopping on a small cruise ship around the Adriatic<br />
Sea with a stay in the ever-popular Dubrovnik.<br />
Italy is another highly favoured country to visit, and there is a<br />
range of itinerary ideas for travellers going there, including villa<br />
stays, cycling and walking tours, foodie tours or a Vespa tour<br />
around quaint Italian villages.<br />
For first-time travellers, the team at HOT Hornby suggests a<br />
multi-country guided journey.<br />
“Travellers get to enjoy local experiences, and they have a<br />
good balance of time with the group and time to do things on<br />
their own. This is a great way to get a taste of Europe,” Paula<br />
says.<br />
Canada is also a popular choice with HOT customers, with a<br />
train trip across the Rocky Mountains providing a way to enjoy<br />
the beautiful scenery in comfort. The trip is available from April<br />
until October.<br />
“There is also the opportunity to combine this with an Alaskan<br />
cruise, making for an even more exciting holiday,” Paula says.<br />
She and her team look forward to helping customers plan<br />
their 2018 holiday, so call in to their store at 40 Carmen Road,<br />
or book an appointment by phoning 344-3070.<br />

Maudes on Trade Me<br />
open 24 hours a day,<br />
seven days a week.<br />
Selling almost everything from antiques<br />
to sporting and household items, Maudes on<br />
Trade Me allows customers to shop online<br />
in the comfort of their own home and raise<br />
money for the Nurse Maude Hospice at the<br />
same time.<br />
At any one time, Maudes has around 250<br />
items up for auction, and almost every one<br />
of them starts at just $1 reserve with rare<br />
and collectable pieces soon reaching their<br />
optimum price.<br />
While the Nurse Maude Hospice shops<br />
sell fashion clothing and accessories Maudes<br />
on Trade Me sells almost everything else<br />
and buyers can come from anywhere in the<br />
country.<br />
With more than 200<br />
items a week being listed,<br />
Maudes on Trade Me<br />
is very dependent on a<br />
steady stream of donated<br />
goods.<br />
“Please dive into your<br />
cupboards and garage<br />
for that unused sports<br />
equipment, jewellery,<br />
china, glass, silverware,<br />
furniture, whiteware<br />
- in fact pretty much<br />
anything in good saleable<br />
condition,” says Sue<br />
Bramwell, GM Marketing at Nurse Maude,<br />
“and we can turn it into the funds needed to<br />
provide hospice palliative care and support<br />

in the Nurse Maude Hospice.”<br />

Donated goods<br />
support charity<br />
organisation’s work<br />
The Salvation Army Family Stores throughout the country are well<br />
known as places to find quality second-hand items of all kinds, from<br />
clothing and books, to toys, furniture and crockery.<br />
Generous people in the community donate the items,<br />
with the organistaion using the proceeds from the sales<br />
to fund their wide range of charitable activities.<br />
There are two Salvation Army stores in the Addington<br />
area, one in Lincoln Road and the other in Poulson<br />
Street, with the proceeds from the Poulson St outlet<br />
being used to run their long-established hostel, which<br />
caters for males struggling with life.<br />
“The hostel accommodates males from the age of 18<br />
or 19 upwards,” Salvation Army spokesperson Natasha<br />
Campbell says.<br />
“They come from all walks of life, and having time<br />
there allows them to reintegrate back into society.<br />
Their accommodation is fully equipped and they get<br />
three square meals a day.”<br />
The hostel is completely full at present, with residents<br />
allowed to stay for a maximum of three months.<br />
The Poulson St store sells furniture, bedding and<br />
children’s toys, which people can drop off at the store.<br />
“We are always in need of good-quality mattresses,<br />
sheets and blankets,” Natasha says.<br />
Donated sheets and towels are also used to supply<br />
the hostel and we are especially in need of towels, she<br />
says.<br />
Many of the items sold at the Lincoln Rd store are<br />
newer and include clothing, nick nacks, collectibles<br />
and a wide range of household items.<br />
The stores are located at 62 Poulson St and 300<br />
Lincoln Rd and staff are always very pleased to accept<br />
items in good condition that people no longer need.<br />

Kia ora koutou. Talofa.<br />
Kia Orana. Malo e<br />
lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa<br />
atu. Namaste and<br />
Kumusta. Greetings<br />
to our Community.<br />
Earlier in the year,<br />
I wrote about the<br />
principle of collaboration and its importance<br />
to our students as they prepare for the global<br />
world in which they will live their lives. This is<br />
because the global world requires effective<br />
interaction with others. IQ alone is not enough.<br />
Our Emotional Intelligence (EI) – also matters.<br />
I also discussed that we now know through<br />
neuro-science that IQ-smartness is not fixed<br />
but can grow. Effort makes us stronger. In<br />
schools this is sometimes called ‘growth<br />
mindsets’. For more information on this please<br />
see https://www.mindsetworks.com/science/<br />
I raise these points again at the end of Term 3<br />
as our focus even more tightly centres on<br />
our senior students’ success in their Yr 11-13<br />
Career Pathway and for the juniors, their Year<br />
7-10 Learning Pathway.<br />
Meet the Mayor<br />
Nineteen Linwood College students attended<br />
the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver<br />
Award Ceremony with the Honourable Lianne<br />
Dalziel, Christchurch’s Mayor. This prestigious<br />
event was held at the Mayoral Office.<br />
At Linwood College we want our students<br />
to have both the necessary NCEA success<br />
in knowledge and content-skills, and also<br />
leadership and employability expertise. IQ and<br />
EQ – the whole person. This is reinforced by the<br />
following seven qualities that NZ employers<br />
are essential for career development:<br />
1. Positive attitude<br />
2. Communication<br />
3. Teamwork<br />
4. Self-management<br />
5. Willingness to learn<br />
6. Thinking skills<br />
(problem solving and decision making)<br />
7. Resilience<br />
The message is that academic and social<br />
learning support one another in personalised<br />
pathways, career development and lifesuccess.<br />
This message is at the heart of<br />
Linwood College of <strong>2017</strong> and beyond.<br />
Finally, schools can be complicated places.<br />
If for any reason you would like to talk to me<br />
about anything, please contact the office so we<br />
can arrange this. My door is open.<br />
Ngamihinui – best wishes,<br />
Richard Edmundson - Tumuaki (Principal)<br />
We congratulate these students on their<br />
efforts and again thank Chris Allan from the<br />
Joshua Foundation for his mentorship and<br />
tremendous commitment to Christchurch<br />
youth.<br />
The Year 11 production, ‘Harbouring Ghosts’ was a<br />
fantastic, eerie performance. Through this, students<br />
explored the healing of past mistakes.<br />
It was then the Year 12/13 classes' turn to take the stage.<br />
They tackled an adaption of Hamlet, ‘Ophelia Thinks<br />
Harder’. This was an extremely challenging performance<br />
which students handled with finesse.<br />
Stars in the Making<br />
In 2016, twelve Linwood College students<br />
acted as extras in ‘The Changeover’, a movie<br />
filmed and set in Christchurch’s Eastern<br />
suburbs.<br />
Prom Night <strong>2017</strong><br />
For many Seniors the <strong>2017</strong> ‘American Prom’<br />
was the highlight of the year’s social calendar.<br />
Magic was in the air and everyone was dressed<br />
to the nines - dancing the night away with<br />
flashing tambourines and Mickey Mouse ears.<br />
It was truly a special occasion, full of smiles,<br />
Based on a novel by Margaret Mahy and<br />
starring Timothy Spall and Lucy Lawless, this<br />
comes out in theatres on <strong>September</strong> 28.<br />
Get down and support our local talent.<br />
friendship and laughter and one which our<br />
students will never forget.<br />
Staff working at Twiggers said that it was<br />
a pleasure to be part of such an enjoyable<br />
occasion. They were extremely complimentary<br />
towards our students’ positive demeanor.<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
SPRING ONION PANCAKES<br />
Ingredients<br />
250g Plain flour, plus extra for<br />
dusting<br />
80 ml Boiling water<br />
70 ml Cold water<br />
2 Tbsp Vegetable oil<br />
1 bunch Spring onion, finely<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp Sesame seeds<br />
Directions<br />
Put the flour in a bowl and<br />
add the boiling water, stirring<br />
with chopsticks. This is called<br />
‘burning’ the flour. Give it a mix<br />
and once it has cooled enough,<br />
continue mixing with your hands.<br />
Add the cold water, a quarter at<br />
a time, and continue mixing.<br />
When mixed thoroughly, take<br />
the dough out of the bowl and<br />
knead on a flour-covered bench.<br />
You may need to add more flour<br />
as you knead. Continue kneading<br />
until the dough is shiny and your<br />
hands and the bench are clear of<br />
dough.<br />
Roll the dough into a ball and<br />
place in a bowl covered with cling<br />
film. Seat aside for about half an<br />
hour. Take a piece of dough about<br />
the size of your fist and roll it out<br />
on the bench into a circle about<br />
15cm in diameter. Spread some<br />
vegetable oil over the dough, then<br />
sprinkle over the chopped spring<br />
onion. Sprinkle over the sesame<br />
seeds.<br />
Roll the pancake into a tight<br />
cylinder, then coil it around into<br />
a circle (like a caterpillar rolling<br />
itself into a circle). With a rolling<br />
pin, flatten this circle into a<br />
pancake again.<br />
Add oil to your frying pan and<br />
heat to a medium-high heat. Add<br />
the pancake to the frying pan and<br />
fry until golden, then flip and<br />
cook the other side until golden<br />
and crisp. Serve as a side dish<br />
with chilli oil or chilli sauce or<br />
your favourite Asian-inspired dip.<br />
Also great at breakfast time.<br />
APPLE AND PORK MINCE<br />
PINWHEELS<br />
Ingredients<br />
500g Pork mince<br />
2 tsp Sesame oil<br />
1 tsp Chicken stock, powder<br />
1 tsp Celery salt<br />
2 tsp Fennel seeds<br />
2 Tbsp Fresh parsley<br />
1 tsp Fresh dill<br />
2 cloves Garlic<br />
1 Onion<br />
½ Ambrosia Apple, finely diced<br />
with skin on<br />
2 Eggs, one for egg wash<br />
750g Flaky puff pastry, ready<br />
rolled<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C<br />
fan bake.<br />
Combine the first 10<br />
ingredients in a bowl.<br />
Mix in one egg.<br />
Divide mixture evenly onto<br />
four sheets of pastry, taking care<br />
to ensure you leave some space<br />
on each edge (about 2.5cm) for<br />
easy rolling.<br />
Lightly beat remaining egg for<br />
egg wash and brush the edges to<br />
help seal the pinwheel.<br />
Roll each sheet from the long<br />
end and cut each into four<br />
pinwheels with a sharp knife.<br />
Place on baking paper on<br />
oven tray and egg wash the<br />
pinwheels.<br />
Sprinkle on sesame seeds.<br />
Bake for 30min until golden.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Melanoma Deadlier<br />
Than Road Fatalities<br />
Summer is around the corner, and it brings with it the<br />
temptation for some to “pre-tan” using artificial UV<br />
tanning equipment; but is it really worth the risk?<br />
More people die from melanoma<br />
each year than are killed<br />
annually in road crashes.<br />
This statistic was part of<br />
a comprehensive submission made to<br />
parliament’s Health Select Committee which<br />
is considering outlawing sunbeds for people<br />
under the age of 18 years.<br />
The submission was made by Accuro<br />
Health Insurance, established in the 1970s as<br />
a private insurer for the public health sector.<br />
Today it trades as a private health insurer<br />
with a widespread, general membership.<br />
Accuro, in supporting the submission<br />
made by the New Zealand Dermatological<br />
Society, pointed to a New Zealand Cancer<br />
Society figure of 324 deaths from melanoma<br />
in 2010. According to the NZ Road Transport<br />
Agency there were 253 road deaths for the 12<br />
months to February 2014 and 303 for the 12<br />
months to February 2015.<br />
In highlighting the figure, CEO Geoff<br />
Annals emphasised the serious nature of<br />
the disease and his submission drew the<br />
committee’s attention to the financial, social<br />
and personal costs of skin cancer.<br />
He quoted Cancer Society figures which<br />
report that New Zealand, along with<br />
Australia, has amongst the highest melanoma<br />
rates in the world. In 2010 melanoma was<br />
the fourth most common cancer with 2,341<br />
registered cases and the sixth most common<br />
cause of death from cancer.<br />
The Cancer Society further reports that<br />
skin cancer currently costs this country<br />
about $123 million annually.<br />
Geoff Annals says research by the Centre<br />
for Disease Control showed the introduction<br />
of seat belts reduced serious crash related<br />
injuries and deaths by about half and banning<br />
artificial UV tanning services is warranted<br />
on the same public health grounds as the<br />
compulsory seat belt legislation.<br />
While Accuro’s submission related to a ban<br />
for people under 18 years, it supports the<br />
introduction of a total ban on commercial<br />
artificial UV tanning.<br />
“As a health insurer grounded in the public<br />
health sector, we are strongly committed<br />
to supporting the effectiveness of publicly<br />
funded health services and better health<br />
outcomes for all New Zealanders,” Geoff<br />
Annals says.<br />
A leading New Zealand dermatologist, Dr<br />
Louise Reiche, who also made submissions<br />
to the Health Select Committee, says she’s<br />
treating many young people, especially<br />
women in their 20s and 30s, with melanomas<br />
resulting from commercial sunbed exposure.<br />
She says clients typically lie naked on<br />
their sunbeds and expose skin to radiation<br />
emitted from UV lamps which can be up to<br />
13 times greater than the peak summer sun.<br />
She’s now treating people with cancer of the<br />
genital skin which is more vulnerable to skin<br />
cancer development.<br />
“The medical profession is run off their<br />
feet with people presenting themselves with<br />
skin cancers causing the public health system<br />
to be overwhelmed,” Dr Reiche says.<br />
“The waiting list is three to four months<br />
for urgent cases and, during the delay, the<br />
cancers are growing. This results in poorer<br />
health outcomes and more complex and<br />
expensive procedures.”<br />
Geoff Annals quoted Cancer<br />
Society figures which report<br />
that New Zealand, along<br />
with Australia, has amongst<br />
the highest melanoma<br />
rates in the world. In 2010<br />
melanoma was the fourth<br />
most common cancer with<br />
2,341 registered cases and<br />
the sixth most common<br />
cause of death from cancer.<br />

VINTAGE TWIST ON<br />
MODERN POP SONGS<br />
THE sensational Scott<br />
Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox<br />
returns to the Isaac eatre<br />
Royal this Sunday!<br />
Furnishing a vintage twist<br />
on modern pop songs, the<br />
New York based collective is<br />
back in NZ by popular<br />
demand following two<br />
successful tours over the last<br />
two years.<br />
Created by Scott Bradlee, the<br />
rotating collective of<br />
Postmodern Jukebox has spent<br />
the past few years amassing<br />
more than 600 million YouTube views and 2+<br />
million subscribers, performed on “Good<br />
Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard<br />
charts and played hundreds of shows to packedhouse<br />
crowds around the world. As NPR put it,<br />
they've done this by “taking current Top 40 hits<br />
and re-imagining them as coming from older<br />
eras of popular music.”<br />
The mastermind behind the group, Scott<br />
Bradlee has turned Postmodern Jukebox into a<br />
juggernaut by building an incredible grassroots<br />
movement around the act. He continues to pick<br />
the songs, create the arrangements and shows,<br />
and puts together the performers - which<br />
includes some notable names alongside<br />
phenomenal "undiscovered" talent. e group<br />
releases a new video every week, each one shot<br />

Postmodern Jukebox is certainly a rebuke to<br />
the contention that 'they don't make 'em like<br />
they used to' - and there's something truly<br />
special about witnessing their musical magic<br />
live.<br />
To echo Bradlee's own invitation: “Dust off<br />
the turntable, fix yourself a stiff drink, and get<br />
comfy. Welcome to the world of Postmodern<br />
Jukebox.”<br />
Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox performs<br />
at the Isaac eatre Royal this Sunday night.<br />

Renee Murray from NZME<br />
Events, organiser of the Expo<br />
says “Our aim is to have as wide<br />
of a range of companies involved<br />
with the Expo as possible.<br />
Women are all different and their<br />
individual interests are so diverse.<br />
One woman may love the latest in<br />
makeup or is looking for childcare<br />
options but the woman beside her<br />
may be more interested in sampling<br />
handmade cheese or discovering<br />
travel and cultural experiences.<br />
It’s great on the weekend to see<br />
all the various women visit the<br />
show, from teenagers to business<br />
women, mothers to grandmothers<br />
and friends simply enjoying each<br />
other’s company. It’s becoming<br />
more common for us to see three<br />
generations visit the Expo together as<br />
well, with the daughter, mother and<br />
grandmother all enjoying the show and<br />
spending the day with each other.”<br />
Featuring lots of new companies and<br />
everything from fashion and accessories<br />
to travel, giftware, fantastic food and<br />
wine, crafts, unique businesses,<br />
beauty, eco-friendly products,<br />
education, community groups and<br />
so much more – what interests the<br />
modern woman will be at the Expo.<br />

thousand women to visit the Expo over the two days.<br />
Renee Murray from Expo<br />
Organisers, NZME Events says<br />
“We will be bringing a fabulous<br />
experience to the women of<br />
Canterbury for one weekend.<br />
Don’t miss this opportunity to see<br />
so many wonderful companies and<br />

roof. Aside from having the best of<br />
local companies exhibiting at the<br />
Expo we have a large number of<br />
national companies who will travel<br />
to Christchurch from all around<br />
New Zealand especially to show<br />
local women their products. This<br />
is a great chance for women to<br />
stop, relax and spoil themselves<br />
for one weekend”.<br />
Brandhouse will return to the<br />
Expo again with their range of<br />
champagne, vodka, port and<br />
wines. Popular last year was<br />
the Royal Dragon’s elite flavour<br />
vodka collection with some<br />
flavours selling out. Introducing<br />
the most tantalizing and unique<br />
flavoured vodka collection of its<br />
time, flavours include Watermelon,<br />
Green Apple, Passion Fruit,<br />
Chocolate and Lychee… a<br />
great vodka collection to enjoy<br />
neat, on the rocks or in your<br />
favourite cocktail! Visit the large<br />
Brandhouse site at the show to<br />
sample from their fabulous range and<br />
take home what you love.<br />
A new exhibitor to the show is The Lip<br />
Lounge, a new Christchurch based<br />
business that can help you customize<br />
your own lipstick in your favourite<br />
shade. You can even bring in your<br />
favourite lipstick that may have been<br />
deleted or you want to replicate and<br />
you can watch the girls at The Lip<br />
Lounge mix and create your perfect<br />
shade right in front of you.<br />
A popular section of the show is<br />
the large Artisan Craft Zone. With<br />
some favourite companies appearing<br />
every year and new companies<br />
featuring, it’s the perfect spot to<br />

Crafter Alexander will travel to<br />
the show all the way from Marton<br />
in the North Island to showcase<br />
his range of handcrafted wooden<br />
kitchen planters. These have<br />
sold out at the past two Expos so<br />
Alex is looking forward to seeing<br />
the feedback from Christchurch<br />
visitors.<br />

Craft Zone at the show and meet<br />
some talented small businesses.<br />
