lease of<br />

historic<br />
estate<br />
DO-GOOD: Local hero and baker Brian Cate also delivers food to struggling families.<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
BAKER BRIAN Cate starts<br />
work at 1am.<br />
But when his shift is over at<br />
Sydenham Bakery by 10am, Mr<br />
Cate doesn’t always head home<br />
to bed. For the last 16 years,<br />
every Tuesday and Thursday<br />
he has delivered food parcels to<br />
families from Burnside to Belfast<br />
and every suburb in between.<br />
Mr Cate has spent nearly 6000<br />
hours volunteering through<br />
the Papanui Baptist Church, in<br />
conjunction with 0800 Hungry,<br />
delivering food to more than<br />
11,000 families and individuals<br />
in the north-west.<br />
Without Mr Cate at least<br />
14 local families would be<br />

ONE OF the last “gentleman’s<br />
estates” in the city has been given a<br />
new lease of life.<br />
A heritage incentive grant of<br />
$135,979 for Opawa’s Cardowan<br />
estate was approved by the city<br />
council.<br />
The property at 64 Opawa Rd<br />
was built in the 1860s at a time<br />
when the suburb was a desirable<br />
residential area and land was being<br />
subdivided into gentlemen’s estates<br />
for professional men.<br />
But Cardowan was badly damaged<br />
in the earthquakes and subsequently<br />
sold on an as is, where<br />
is basis to TT Properties Ltd,<br />
which want to repair and restore<br />
the home and rejuvenate its large<br />
gardens.<br />
TT Properties Ltd director Tangi<br />
Karati applied to the council for a<br />
heritage grant to help meet the cost<br />
of the work, which is estimated at<br />
close to $300,000.<br />
The $135,979 grant is subject<br />
to a 20-year limited conservation<br />
covenant being placed on the<br />
property.<br />

TOP MARKS to Brian Cate, the Sydenham<br />
Bakery baker on our front page today.<br />
Brian is one of these people who work<br />
odd hours – most bakers do.<br />
His shift starts at 1am and he works<br />
through until 9 or 10am and then his after work time starts.<br />
That includes charity work; delivering food parcels to families<br />
through a programme at his church.<br />
And then it’s off home and he’ll be in the sack by around 5pm<br />
to get enough sleep to start his work day all over again at 1am.<br />
For his charity work, Brent has received a Kiwibank Local<br />
Hero Award, alongside a number of other Cantabrians.<br />
The Local Hero Awards are the real deal. Well deserved Brian.<br />

Lanes for coastal pathway<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
LANES WILL be marked to<br />
separate cyclists and pedestrians<br />
on the Christchurch Coastal<br />
Pathway.<br />
The measures are needed, the<br />
Coastal Pathway Group said,<br />
as the path was attracting an<br />
increasing number of cyclists -<br />
peaking around 5pm<br />
Chairman Scott Babington<br />
said outside that time, there were<br />
currently about 100 walkers and<br />
cyclists a day passing through<br />
Scott Park, “ which is the area<br />
most affected.”<br />
He said on the whole, the two<br />
groups shared the pathway well,<br />
but it made sense to provide<br />
markings and signs informing<br />
users it was a shared space.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency doesn’t impose a speed<br />
limit on shared pathways, but<br />
Mr Babington said they may<br />
need to consider introducing<br />
one.<br />
“Especially with the advent<br />
of electric bikes which may<br />
use the pathway and are often<br />
very powerful and used by<br />
inexperienced cyclists.”<br />
Shared paths are for “slower<br />
more relaxed travel,” according<br />
to the NZTA website.<br />
“On a shared path you<br />
should put your e-bike in a<br />
low power setting and cycle at<br />
a speed consistent with other<br />
users so that it does not put<br />
others at risk or make them feel<br />
uncomfortable when you pass.”<br />
CPG is working on a signage<br />
plan at the moment, which<br />
would be based on the one at<br />
Hagley Park.<br />
“We have other measures<br />
(planned) such as different<br />
surfaces on the pathway to make<br />
the point to users that this is a<br />
shared pathway and if they want<br />
to cycle fast then there are the<br />
on-road cycle lanes to use.”<br />
Mr Babington said there<br />
was standard shared pathway<br />
signage already but it was “very<br />
ugly and visually obtrusive and I<br />
think completely ineffective. So<br />
we are working with the council<br />
on better, more appropriate<br />
options.”<br />
CPG committee member<br />
Janine Banbury said she was<br />
working with a designer to<br />
create pavement graphics and<br />
expected to have them finished<br />
by Christmas.<br />
Redcliffs Residents<br />
Association secretary Pat<br />
McIntosh said they were in full<br />
support of putting better signage<br />
in place.<br />

SAFETY BARRIER INSTALLED<br />
The site of a traffic fatality in<br />
March, when a car left Main Rd<br />
by Shag Rock and went into the<br />
water, had a new steel safety barrier<br />
installed last week. Work digging<br />
trenches for water and wastewater<br />
pipes is mostly completed along the<br />
Peacocks Gallop stretch of Main<br />
Rd and the next stage of roading<br />
work is under way, including new<br />
kerbs. The road will be resurfaced<br />
and cycleways built between now<br />
and the end of February.<br />

Christmas tips to keep<br />
your pets safe over the<br />
festive season<br />
‘Tis the season to be jolly! In the spirit of the<br />
coming festive season the staff at McMaster<br />
and Heap Veterinary Practice wish to give<br />
you some helpful tips on how to keep your<br />
pets safe and happy over this busy time.<br />
Festive foods:<br />
Many festive foods can be harmful and<br />
toxic to cats & dogs – here are some of<br />
the major ones that pop up every year at<br />
Christmas time!<br />
Grapes and Raisins - Some types of<br />
grapes and raisins have been shown to<br />
cause kidney failure in dogs when eaten<br />
in toxic quantities. So think before offering<br />
your pet some tasty Christmas cake or<br />
yummy ‘treats’ off the fruit platers.<br />
Onions - Pieces of raw onion, onion<br />
powder, or even cooked onion can cause<br />
damage to red blood cells, which could<br />
result in hemolytic anemia.<br />
Garlic - fresh and powdered forms of garlic<br />
are more potent than onions. These also<br />
cause damage to red blood cells. Cats are<br />
much more sensitive as they have more<br />
fragile red blood cells.<br />
Xylitol - Xylitol is a sugar alternative that<br />
is used in many commercial ‘sugar-free’<br />
candies, gum, and other food items.<br />
Xylitol has been shown to cause severe<br />
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver<br />
damage in dogs and can be fatal. Xylitol<br />
keeps popping up in unexpected places –<br />
the newest one is peanut butter, so be sure<br />
to read the label carefully.<br />
Macadamia Nuts - dangerous to dogs<br />
when eaten can result in weakness,<br />
depression, vomiting, incoordination, and<br />
tremors. In most cases, dogs developed<br />
clinical signs within the first twelve hours<br />
after eating the macadamia nuts.<br />
Chocolate - Contains Theobromine and<br />
caffeine which can cause increased heart<br />
rate, tremors, and excitation, depending<br />
on the type and the quantity ingested<br />
potentially death when ingested at a toxic<br />
dose. Other effects seen with chocolate<br />
overdose are vomiting, diarrhea, increased<br />
thirst, increased urination, and lethargy.<br />
Dark chocolate is the most serious as it<br />
contains the most theobromine, then milk<br />
chocolate, while white chocolate doesn’t<br />
contain any, but still not healthy for your<br />
dog to have.<br />
Cooked bones – These easily splinter<br />
and the bone shards can cause choking or<br />
get stuck in your dog’s gums or stomach<br />
resulting in emergency surgery. Discourage<br />
your dog from foraging in your bins and try<br />
to secure all of the lids.<br />
Christmas Decorations<br />
Christmas decorations are not for pets to<br />
play with.<br />
• Keep your pet away from plants, many of<br />
which are poisonous, especially lilies which<br />
are extremely toxic for cats and results in<br />
acute kidney failure.<br />
• Keep electrical wires and batteries out of<br />
your pets reach. Chewing electrical cables<br />
can cause electric shock or burns to the<br />
mouth.<br />
• Be careful if you are using tinsel on your<br />
tree. If eaten, the tinsel can block your pets<br />
intestines – we saw several of these last<br />
Christmas!<br />
Don’t forget about your RABBITS<br />
Flystrike is a serious condition in rabbits.<br />
It occurs mostly in the summer months<br />
and we see a lot of cases over the holiday<br />
season as people get really busy and forget<br />
to regularly check on their pets.<br />
Flystrike is extremely distressing and it is<br />
also potentially fatal. It is caused by flies that<br />
are attracted to damp fur, urine, faeces and<br />
the odour of the rabbit’s scent. The flies<br />
will land on the rabbit normally around the<br />
rabbits rear end and lay their eggs. Within<br />
a very short time of 2 hours the eggs will<br />
hatch into maggots which start to feed on<br />
the rabbits skin. This process happens very<br />
quickly and is not always caught in time.<br />
Check your rabbit twice a day and if you<br />
find a maggot on your rabbit take it to us<br />
immediately.<br />

“I started through my<br />
church, other people were<br />
doing it so I joined in,” Mr<br />
Cate said.<br />
He said it was nice to<br />
be acknowledged but<br />
preferred to keep a low<br />
profile and get on with<br />
helping the people he had<br />
made a connection with<br />
over the years.<br />
He said he would carry<br />
on helping them for the<br />
foreseeable future.<br />
”But you’ve got to have<br />
the right heart,” he said.<br />

New fundraiser for historic jetty<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A NEW fundraising appeal to<br />
help save the historic Governors<br />
Bay jetty has been launched this<br />
week.<br />
The ‘sponsor a plank’ initiative<br />
aims to raise $750,000, which together<br />
with funds already raised<br />
by the Jetty Restoration Trust<br />
and committed<br />
by the city<br />
council, will<br />
bring the total<br />
to around $1.35<br />
million.<br />
People,<br />
families, or<br />
businesses who<br />
donate $500<br />
Louisa Eades<br />
or more will be recognised as<br />
“Plank Sponsors”, with a plaque<br />
engraved with their name or<br />
short message on a plank on the<br />
new Jetty.<br />
Trust secretary Louisa Eades<br />
has also written a piece for the<br />
New Zealand Women’s Weekly<br />
about how the jetty was rescued<br />
and the journey so far towards<br />
restoration.<br />
Her story will be published<br />
early next year.<br />
She’s hoping the publicity<br />
will broaden the appeal beyond<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The jetty has been a feature<br />
of the bay since 1874 and is an<br />
important part of Canterbury<br />
history.<br />
Before the road over Dyers<br />
Pass made the bay accessible<br />
by vehicle, twice-daily steam<br />
launches ran from Lyttelton to<br />
Governors Bay.<br />
These boats dropped passengers<br />
off on the Jetty to spend<br />
the day picnicking or visiting the<br />
“pleasure gardens” at the Ocean<br />
<strong>View</strong> Hotel (now Governors Bay<br />
Hotel.)<br />
“I just can’t imagine it not<br />

initiative has been launched<br />

being there,” said Ms Eades. “It’s<br />
like the Cathedral in the square<br />
or the Esplanade in Sumner.<br />
It’s just part of the bay, and an<br />
important historical feature.”<br />
At just under 300 metres long,<br />
the jetty is the same length as the<br />
New Brighton pier, but low to the<br />
water and timber-made.<br />
“It’s an amazing place to walk<br />
along or boat to,” said trust<br />
chairman Simon Mortlock.<br />
The city council last year<br />
agreed to temporarily sell ownership<br />
for $1 to the Governors Bay<br />
Jetty Restoration Trust who will<br />
repair it before returning it back<br />
to the city council.<br />
The repair is expected to cost<br />
up to $3 million.<br />

Historic cafe gets<br />
new lease of life<br />
•From page 1<br />
It was originally home to David<br />
McKay, an immigration officer<br />
with the Canterbury Provincial<br />
Government who also administered<br />
the Charitable Aid Fund.<br />
Mr McKay defaulted on the<br />
mortgage repayments on the<br />
house after he was charged with<br />
embezzlement, lost his job and his<br />
wife left him.<br />
The house was bought by<br />
Georgiana Thomson, the widow<br />
of accountant William Thomson,<br />
who was a captain with the<br />
Canterbury Yeomanry Calvary,<br />
Provincial Auditor and Official<br />
Assignee at the time of his death<br />
in 1866.<br />
She named the two-storey<br />
weatherboard house Cardowan<br />
after a suburb in Glasgow.<br />
When Georgiana Thompson<br />
died she passed the house to<br />
her son, John. He had arrived in<br />
Canterbury as a child with his<br />
parents and spent his early years<br />
working on sheep stations before<br />
taking up his father’s profession.<br />
In his retirement John Thomson<br />
took up walking long distances<br />
on the Port Hills and in 1931 he<br />
gifted 63 acres of land on the Port<br />
Hills (now known as Thomson<br />
Park) to the public.<br />

THE TWO proposed Halswell<br />
skate parks are one step closer<br />
with the deadline for tender<br />
applications closing yesterday.<br />
After three years of planning,<br />
the Halswell Domain and<br />
Knights Stream skate parks<br />
are expected to be ready by late<br />
April, instead of January as<br />
initially planned.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Brent Smith said after the<br />
resource consents were lodged,<br />
the skate parks went out for<br />
tender on November 16.<br />
The consent process took<br />
longer than expected and, as<br />
a result, construction of both<br />
parks has been delayed.<br />
Halswell Residents Association<br />
secretary David Hawke<br />
said the skate parks are fantastic<br />
and they will have a good impact<br />
on the community.<br />
“If you look at one of the<br />
things the Halswell Hub is doing,<br />
it’s got a different type of<br />
outreach I suppose, for young<br />
people in our community and<br />
the skate parks fit into that bigger<br />
picture,” he said.<br />
Mr Hawke said parents are<br />
currently having to drive their<br />
children to Prebbleton to skate.<br />
“You see people doing what<br />
they’re not supposed to be<br />
doing, which is sort of bounce<br />
their scooters and skateboards<br />
about in the supermarket<br />
carparks and so on,” he said.<br />
The city council won’t know<br />
if both sites will be managed<br />
together until a contractor has<br />
been selected. Mr Smith said<br />
the city council is intending on<br />
choosing a contractor before<br />
Christmas.<br />
He said construction on both<br />
skate parks should start at the<br />
beginning of February, with<br />
landscaping to be completed in<br />
May.<br />
PROGRESS: The<br />
Halswell Domain<br />
skate park (pictured)<br />
and the Knights<br />
Stream skate<br />
park are both on<br />
their way to being<br />
built, with tender<br />
applications closing<br />
yesterday. <br />

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

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

FLAME FILES<br />
Fire warning as<br />
summer starts<br />
Cashmere win close final<br />
to claim water polo title<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
CASHMERE High’s year 10<br />
water polo team won the B<br />
grade title at the South Island<br />
junior secondary schools<br />
championships.<br />
Playing Papanui High in<br />
the final, they narrowly won<br />
1-0 thanks to a solid defensive<br />
performance from Rosie Howard,<br />
which saw her named most<br />
valuable player in the decider.<br />
Heading into the last quarter<br />
at 0-0, it took a moment of<br />
SPORTS<br />
brilliance by Holly Cartwright<br />
who scored after intercepting<br />
a loose pass from Papanui’s<br />
goalkeeper.<br />
The teams met in the roundrobin<br />
with Cashmere coming out<br />
on top 4-2.<br />
Cashmere coach Tom<br />
Wilkinson said both teams had<br />
a better understanding of each<br />

other’s play which led to a much<br />
tighter encounter in the final.<br />
He said after a hiatus, the sport<br />
is making a comeback at the<br />
school. “We have not had a water<br />
polo programme for 10 years<br />
until we started it again last year<br />
with this group of girls,” he said.<br />
“We had three teams this year<br />
so it is increasing in popularity.”<br />
“This is also due to the work<br />
of St Martins and Christchurch<br />
South Intermediate, who are in<br />
our school zone (and) have been<br />
pushing it at year 7 and 8.”<br />
heating up early<br />
• By Mark Thomas – fire risk<br />
management officer<br />
AS THE summer heats up, so<br />
does the number of calls our<br />
troops are attending.<br />
It’s normal to have about 100<br />
calls in a week.<br />
Weather events, of course, add<br />
to the number.<br />
So the 169 incidents attended<br />
last week can at least in part be<br />
attributed to the weather, or the<br />
heat, to be more precise.<br />
A large number of false<br />
alarms, presumably from fire<br />
detection systems drooping and<br />
a large number of ambulance<br />
assists including, unfortunately,<br />
several sudden deaths, added to<br />
the list.<br />
Also we attended far too many<br />
grass and skip or bin fires.<br />
While a few of these are the<br />
result of accidents most of them<br />
were lit deliberately.<br />
Whether it be kids playing or<br />
malicious fire-starters, the dry<br />
conditions make all of these<br />
potentially serious.<br />
The Governors Bay crew were<br />
called to the local hotel on <strong>December</strong><br />
2 to what turned out to<br />
be a patron puffing on a vaping<br />
cigarette.<br />
It’s a first for me to see this but<br />
hardly surprising.<br />
I followed a car the other day<br />
with two people both vaping<br />
and both front windows open.<br />
The clouds of vapour they<br />
were seemingly choreographing<br />
erupted from both sides of the<br />
car like whistles from a steam<br />
train. I guess it’s better for them<br />
than the alternative!<br />
Sprinklers in buildings are<br />
expensive. But one operating in<br />
Pak’nSave in the Hornby Hub<br />
on <strong>December</strong> 3 stopped a fire<br />
from a bakers oven in its tracks.<br />
The mall re-opened quickly.<br />
That’s why we love sprinkler<br />
systems.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
From the Board<br />
As we go to print we are excited to hear<br />
our new Bishop, Fr Paul Martin SM,<br />
has been appointed to Christchurch. In<br />
celebrating the news, a special thank<br />
you must go to Fr Rick Loughnan for<br />
his leadership in the interim, to the<br />
Diocese for its ongoing support and<br />
we remember Bishop Barry Jones<br />
with fondness. Bishop-Elect Paul’s<br />
appointment represents an exciting<br />
new phase of growth for our<br />
Catholic community.<br />
Thank you to our Board of Trustees,<br />
college and community and members<br />
of the Marian Foundation for your work<br />
throughout <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy the<br />
well-earned break. There are some fantastic<br />
programmes, and collaborative project<br />
opportunities planned for 2018.<br />
And finally, congratulations to our <strong>2017</strong><br />
Marian College leavers. The gospel values<br />
– which underpin the special character of<br />
Marian College – will guide you well into<br />
the future. We wish you all the very best<br />
and please keep in touch.<br />
Wishing you good health and blessings<br />
this Christmas.<br />

has received the St John Grand Prior<br />
Award in a ceremony hosted by the<br />
Governor-General in Dunedin.<br />
The Grand Prior Award is the ultimate<br />
award, other than for bravery, for St John<br />
Cadets. Georgiana was one of 90 cadets<br />
- including former Marian student Steph<br />
Wessing (left) - from around New Zealand<br />
to receive the prestigious award.<br />
‘I love learning new leadership skills and<br />
I’m really thankful I joined St John, as<br />
otherwise I wouldn’t have considered the<br />
Navy as a career path,’ she says.<br />
Georgiana’s plans include a gap year,<br />
travel, and a career in the Navy<br />
as a medic.<br />
The opportunities and benefits of an innercity<br />
campus are many for Marian College<br />
students.<br />
From Year 11, students can choose to<br />
earn credits at Ara Institute of Canterbury,<br />
making the most of excellent facilities and<br />
teaching expertise – just across the road.<br />
Recently, three Marian students received<br />
Ara awards excellence<br />

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

Whatever we want to be...<br />
Young Māori Marian<br />
College students<br />
participating in the<br />
Manukura programme<br />
are realising if they put<br />
their minds to it – they<br />
can do and be whatever<br />
they want.<br />
The programme is a<br />
partnership between<br />
Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te<br />
Tapuae o Rehua<br />
and seven eastern<br />
Christchurch secondary<br />
schools and aims to<br />
ensure young Māori see<br />
themselves as leaders<br />
of the future.<br />
Participating student Rawinia Tahi (Ngāti<br />
Maniapoto) says she has learnt a lot.<br />

Year 11 Marian College student Keely<br />
Stuart (Te Aitanga-A-Mahaki) has received<br />
a Ngā Mahi-a-Ringa Pūtaiao Scholarship<br />
from Otago University. Keely will be<br />
participating in a week-long Hands-on<br />
at Otago programme during the summer<br />
holidays to experience being a science<br />
student on campus.<br />
Keely says she is very excited to be<br />
accepted onto the fully-funded programme.<br />
‘I’m interested in a career in health,<br />
science and physiology so it will be a great<br />
opportunity to see what Otago University is<br />
like,’ she says.<br />
‘Recognising my gifts and<br />
understanding how I can use them to<br />
help others, was the biggest realisation<br />
for me,’ Rawinia says.<br />
Zonta Awards<br />
The Zonta Awards are a celebration of the<br />
highest sports achievers - leaders in their<br />
sport locally and often competitors on the<br />
world stage.<br />
This year, three Marian College students<br />
were finalists at the Zonta Sports Awards.<br />
Renee Rae won the top award for her<br />
contribution to netball umpiring. A judge<br />
said Renee follows a long tradition of<br />
Marian students who have won the award,<br />
and there was something very special about<br />
Marian College and its tradition of service.<br />
Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu)<br />
and Millicent Smith (Ngāpuhi) were both<br />
nominated for outstanding achievement<br />
for their New Zealand representation<br />
in football and ice hockey respectively.<br />
This is the second year Rebecca has been<br />
acknowledged in the highly competed<br />
category.<br />

Adding to opportunities in Halswell<br />
Halswell<br />
Community<br />
Project’s<br />
chairwoman<br />
Chrys Horn<br />
talks about<br />
the Nga<br />
Puna Wai<br />
Sports Hub and what it’ll<br />
mean to the Halswell and<br />
surrounding communities<br />
Great sports opportunities –<br />
both formal and informal and<br />
more spaces which can be used<br />
by our community are two<br />
things that we can expect as Nga<br />
Puna Wai develops.<br />
Halswell is already a great<br />
place for those interested in sport<br />
and the developments in Nga<br />
Puna Wai will add in athletics,<br />
tennis and hockey to the<br />
opportunities that already exist<br />
in the area.<br />
The addition of a pavilion with<br />
café and bar facilities is also a<br />
bonus for those who will use<br />
SPORTS: An artist’s impression of the boulevard at the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub.<br />
the site for. We understand also<br />
that the pavilion will have space<br />
available for the community to<br />
hire for their own events.<br />
For Halswell people there<br />
will also be great walking and<br />
cycling opportunities as well as<br />
community sports fields that can<br />
be used for casual games. Many<br />
people already use the area for<br />
walking and this will not change.<br />
We are hopeful that there<br />
will be great cycle paths that<br />
will connect from Aidanfield<br />
through to Curletts Rd<br />
and provide a safe and fun<br />
way for Hillmorton High<br />
School students to bike to school.<br />
In addition they could also<br />
provide a way to connect Hoon<br />
Hay and Halswell Rd through to<br />
the cycleway alongside the new<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> Motorway.<br />
It’s likely it will also be great<br />
for local businesses – especially<br />
those that will be setting up in<br />
the new Halswell Commons<br />
subdivision. The Halswell<br />
Community Project is hopeful<br />
they will be able to set up a<br />
local weekly farmers market<br />
when these developments are all<br />
complete. As the area grows this<br />
facility will be a wonderful<br />
addition to the recreation<br />
opportunities available<br />
in Halswell, Wigram and<br />
Hillmorton and Spreydon.<br />
Pupils turn hand-made<br />
goods into cold hard cash<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
ST BERNADETTE’S School<br />
pupils turned hand-made and<br />
secondhand goods into money at<br />
their market day last Thursday.<br />
All 140 pupils, from new<br />
entrants through to the year 8<br />
students, were involved in the<br />
market.<br />
“We believe that every child<br />
FUN: KiwiCan’s Reece<br />
Bonner under fire at the<br />
school’s market day. <br />
has something worthwhile to<br />
offer. One of the children in our<br />
school is blind, he was able to<br />
contribute by brailing labels for<br />
bookmarks,” assistant principal<br />
Lyn Satherley said.<br />
Miss Satherley said each class<br />
decided on a reward they would<br />
like to have at the end of the<br />
school term with the money they<br />
raised.<br />
She said classes then began<br />
thinking about, and researching<br />
products or services they could<br />
sell or offer at the school market.<br />
“Having a market offers an<br />
authentic purpose for hands on<br />
learning, across the curriculum;<br />
science, maths, literacy, health,<br />
the arts and in the key competencies,”<br />
Miss Satherley said.<br />
Sweets, bookmarks, secondhand<br />
items, stress balls, games,<br />
cards and sausages all went up<br />
for sale.<br />
The school also had a cafe,<br />
face painting station, hair colour<br />
station, traditional games, and a<br />
water balloon throw.<br />
“Having all of the children involved<br />
in the market allows them<br />
to take ownership over their<br />
learning and working as a team,”<br />
Miss Satherley said.<br />
She said any additional profit<br />
from the market will go towards<br />
a community day at the end of<br />
the term.<br />
St Bernadette’s hold a market<br />
day every second year.<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
CHRISTMAS HAM ON THE BONE GLAZED WITH PINEAPPLE<br />
Ingredients<br />
4kg ham on the bone<br />
1 cup canned crushed pineapple,<br />
drained<br />
1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed<br />
1 tsp ground ginger<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg<br />
C. Run a knife around the shank<br />
end of the ham. Carefully slice<br />
under the edge of the rind at the<br />
base of the ham. Use your fingers<br />
to ease between the rind and the<br />
fat. Pull to gently remove the<br />
rind. With a sharp knife, score<br />
the fat with 3mm-deep cuts in a<br />
diamond pattern. Place ham in a<br />
foil-lined oven pan large enough<br />
to catch any glaze that drips as it<br />
cooks. Surround ham with one<br />
cup cold water.<br />
Drain pineapple and combine<br />
with glaze ingredients in a bowl.<br />
Smear glaze over scored fat of<br />
ham.<br />
Bake ham for 40-45min,<br />
basting at regular intervals until<br />
the glaze has caramelised to a<br />
golden brown.<br />
Rest the baked ham for at least<br />
15min before carving. Sliced ham<br />
can either be served hot or at<br />
room temperature.<br />
ROSE PETAL MERINGUE WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE<br />
Ingredients<br />
5 eggs<br />
300g caster sugar<br />
1 Tbsp cornflour<br />
1 Tbsp dried rose petals<br />
300 ml cream<br />
250g blueberries<br />
250g raspberries<br />
1 lime<br />
250g strawberries<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 200 deg C<br />
and line a flat baking sheet with<br />
non-stick baking paper. Using<br />
an electric beater, whip the egg<br />
whites until firm, then whisk in<br />
the sugar. Fold in the cornflour<br />
and rose petals and place large<br />
spoonfuls of the mixture onto<br />
the baking sheet. Bake for 40-<br />
45min.<br />
When the meringue tops are<br />
crisp, remove them from the<br />
oven and leave to cool. For the<br />
sauce, puree the strawberries<br />
and lime juice in a blender. If the<br />
flavour is too sharp, add a little<br />
icing sugar.<br />
Whip the cream until it looks<br />
soft. Mix the berries in a bowl.<br />
Place a meringue on each plate<br />
with a pile of cream next to it,<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Miracle weight loss fruit<br />
An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit<br />
called Garcinia Cambogia from India &<br />
Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight<br />
management & overall health. In fact many<br />
have found it to increase fat loss by 2 to 3<br />
times greater than normal. T.V. Dr. Oz has<br />
said it is the most effective & fastest working<br />
natural supplement to support weight loss.<br />
Even without exercise & diet changes<br />
many have found it beneficial, although even<br />
better & quicker results are often obtained<br />
with extra exercise & an improved diet.<br />
The extract of this amazing fruit is called<br />
Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax.<br />
Research has shown HCA to help suppress<br />
the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for<br />
longer, increase energy levels, help prevent<br />
fat from being made & stored in the body,<br />
increase lean muscle mass, increase<br />
serotonin levels in the brain that<br />
help control mood & sleep<br />
(great for emotional eaters),<br />
improve cholesterol levels<br />
that may help reduce<br />
the chances of strokes<br />
& cardiovascular<br />
disease, help prevent<br />
sugar spikes as well<br />
as other health<br />
benefits.<br />
It is considered<br />
a very safe<br />
supplement<br />
(although check first<br />
if you are on medication)<br />
as it has been used for centuries<br />
as a flavouring agent & digestive aid.<br />
To obtain reliable results it is important<br />
SUPER CitriMax<br />
CLINICAL STRENGTH GARCINIA CAMBOGIA<br />
According to Dr. Oz an extract of Garcinia Cambogia, (a small<br />
pumpkin-like fruit) called CitriMax is the most effective & fastest<br />
working natural supplement to support weight loss. However<br />
it is only the clinically researched Super CitriMax that contains a<br />
special blend that offers superior absorption & proven<br />
results compared to other non-Super CitriMax brands.<br />
CliniCAlly SHOwn tO:<br />
• Helps stop fat being made & stored in the body<br />
• Suppresses appetite & cravings. Feel fuller for longer<br />
• Increases energy levels & lean muscle mass<br />
• Increases Serotonin levels in the brain, especially good for<br />
emotional eaters. Serotonin may also improve mood & sleep.<br />
• Improves cholesterol & blood lipid levels<br />
Swanson Super CitriMax is a unique patented extract that<br />
is highly bio-available & clinically proven for reliable results.<br />
to take a product that contains a<br />
standardized extract of 60% HCA & also<br />
take the recommended amount as used in<br />
the clinical research. Some supplements also<br />
contain ChromeMate, a well-researched<br />
form of niacin-bound chromium to help<br />
improve the results even more.<br />

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />
Skin Rejuvenator<br />
Until Rachel<br />
Hunter’s popular<br />
TV series “TOUR<br />
OF BEAUTY” Dilo<br />
Oil was relatively<br />
unknown, being one<br />
of the best-kept secrets<br />
of the Pacific Islands. It<br />
may however be the number<br />
one natural beauty oil available<br />
as it possesses powerful natural skin<br />
regeneration and healing properties.<br />
According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo)<br />
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />
it is one of the most effective agents<br />
in promoting the regeneration and<br />
formation of new tissue, thereby<br />
accelerating wound healing and<br />
the growth of healthy skin. Dilo<br />
Oil is super-absorbing and can<br />
penetrate all three layers of the<br />
skin, offering exceptional cell<br />
hydration and regeneration.<br />
As well as this, Dilo Oil has<br />
potent anti-inflammatory,<br />
antimicrobial, antifungal and<br />
antioxidant properties.<br />
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />
skin young and youthful and for just about<br />
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />
for which it is considered helpful include<br />
abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and<br />
acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch<br />
marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including<br />
chemical and radiation), diabetic sores,<br />
rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin,<br />
ARE YOU READY<br />
TO DOWNSIZE?<br />
Paying rates for a house that’s<br />
too big? Paying maintenance and<br />
heating costs for space you don’t use?<br />
A move to one of our<br />
architecturally designed villas<br />
at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in<br />
Geraldine will cut those costs.<br />
Three villas are available for<br />

Kids love<br />
CASPA!<br />
FRESH: Tomato plants ready to leave Rolleston. <br />
Rolleston Prison donates<br />
tomato plants to<br />
social housing tenants<br />
MORE than 5000 tomato<br />
plants have been handed<br />
over to the Ōtautahi Community<br />
Housing Trust to<br />
be donated to city housing<br />
tenants.<br />
The plants are an annual<br />
project at Rolleston Prison<br />
and are grown from seed<br />
to plant ready for home<br />
gardens.<br />
The plants take eight to<br />
ten weeks from planting<br />
and germination until<br />
they are ready to be collected.<br />
“This project gives<br />
prisoners an opportunity<br />
to give something back<br />
and provides people in<br />
the community with the<br />
means to grow healthy<br />
food for themselves and<br />
their family,” said Rolleston<br />
Prison director Mike<br />
Howson.<br />
“Many of the prisoners<br />
know what it is like to<br />
struggle financially and<br />
they enjoy the opportunity<br />
to do something for the<br />
community, especially<br />
near to Christmas.<br />
Seeing the plants leave<br />
the prison for a person’s<br />
garden means a great deal<br />
to the men involved,” he<br />
said.<br />
More than 40,000<br />
tomato plants have been<br />
cultivated and donated<br />
since the Tomatoes for<br />
Tenants Project began<br />
in 2008 and the annual<br />
delivery of the tomatoes is<br />
highly anticipated by the<br />
city housing tenants.<br />
Rick Fraser of Ōtautahi<br />
said the trust values the<br />
partnership with Rolleston<br />
Prison and many tenants<br />
appreciate the plants and<br />
save a space in their gardens<br />
for them.<br />
Leftover plants are gifted<br />
to schools and community<br />
groups.<br />

Time to check your tyres before<br />
heading away on holiday<br />
As the holidays approach and plans are<br />
made for summer road trips, now is the<br />
time to check that your tyres are in good<br />
condition, says Julie Hurst of JCM Direct,<br />
the tyre specialists in Birmingham Drive.<br />
Julie and her husband Athol own the<br />
business, with Julie running it on a dayto-day<br />
basis.<br />
Now that WOFs on later model vehicles<br />
are issued every <strong>12</strong> months, drivers may<br />
be unaware that their tyres are becoming<br />
worn, Julie says.<br />
“Come in and see us. We offer free tyre<br />
checks, so you can head away on holiday<br />
knowing they are roadworthy and your<br />
family is safe.”<br />
If tyres do need replacing, JCM Direct<br />
offers a wide variety of quality brands at<br />
very competitive prices. They have new<br />
tyres for everything from cars, vans and<br />
4WDs, to caravans, ride-on mowers,<br />
wheelbarrows and trailers. As well as an<br />
excellent selection of quality second-hand<br />
tyres for most vehicles, they hold a vast<br />
selection of 4WD tyres in stock.<br />
JCM Direct also offer puncture repairs,<br />
supply and fitting of new and secondhand<br />
alloy wheels, wheel alignments,<br />
replacement factory steel rims and rim<br />
repairs.<br />
“We also specialise in old rims from<br />
the 1930s to 1970s for people with older<br />
caravans and trailers – the modern rims<br />
won’t fit those,” Julie says.<br />

Public Notice<br />
Is your property<br />
safe from fire?<br />
Here’s a guide to help understand<br />
the risk in your area<br />
During the fire season, there are some risks you need to know about to help keep you,<br />
your family and your property safe.<br />
Throughout New Zealand, there are different levels of risk, depending on where you<br />
live and what the area around you is like. As we build more and more homes in<br />
previously rural areas, the level of risk is different to properties built in a more urban<br />
setting. Make sure you check your property and are aware of your surroundings so<br />
you can be best prepared this fire season.<br />
Steps you need to take to keep your property safe<br />
1<br />
2<br />
3<br />
Make sure you have a ‘safe zone’ around your property<br />
- Clear vegetation close to your home. This could fuel a fire if one started.<br />
- Choose plants with low flammability – native plants are often better.<br />
- Keep your lawns mowed and green.<br />
- Don’t store firewood close to the house.<br />
- Clear your gutters of dry leaves.<br />
- Be careful when using any mechanical equipment in dry conditions.<br />
Have an escape plan and an agreed safe meeting place<br />
- Go to www.escapeplanner.co.nz to make a plan to get out of your<br />
home safely and agree a safe meeting place. Practise this regularly.<br />
- Think about where you will meet if you need to evacuate the area.<br />
- Have an emergency evacuation kit in case you need to leave quickly.<br />
- If in doubt, leave early.<br />
Good access for firefighters<br />
- Fire trucks need a lot of space to manoeuvre. Make sure there are no<br />
overgrown trees or other obstacles that may prevent access to your<br />
property.<br />
- We can pump from water supplies such as a pond, pool or tank.<br />
- Make sure your address or RAPID number is clearly visible.<br />
The fire risk applies to everyone, no matter where you live.<br />

beautifully festive concert incorporating the<br />
Voices Co Youth Ensemble along with winner<br />
of TVNZ’s Naked Choir and founder of Voices<br />
Co, Julian Hay on piano.<br />
“I adore this time of year. Not only because<br />
I see it through the eyes of my children but<br />
because it’s a special time to reflect on the past<br />
year, the joys and the challenges. I have<br />
created a concert that will include the angelic<br />
voices of children singing which is both pure<br />
and for me what Christmas is all about.”<br />
In a career spanning 25 years, Ali has<br />
starred in numerous musicals and plays across<br />

“Loud applause for this generously gied<br />
actress, with an all-enveloping voice that can<br />
take us with her no matter what she sings, is a<br />
further extension of the celebration of song that<br />
Ali offers.” - Lindsay Clark, eatreview<br />
