Battle lines drawn over skate park 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

MORE THAN 800 people have 

signed a petition in support of 

the controversial Halswell skate 

park. 

The petition comes after nearly 

600 people signed against having 

a skate park established in 

Halswell Domain. 

It was set up last month by 

Halswell resident Brendon Miller 

supporting a skate and recreation 

park in Halswell. 

Mr Miller said he wanted 

to demonstrate how much 

support there is in Halswell for 

Winners

grinners 

HALSWELL HORNETS players 

Jauzion Woods, Van Reid and 

Caleb Crawford had extra reason 

to smile after their rugby league 

games on Saturday. 

Jauzion was the star of the 

Hornets Nursery under 6 yearsold 

team, who beat the Tigers 

32-28. 

Van won the tackler of the day 

trophy for his Hornets under 8 

team. His side had a hard fought 

32-28 win against the Woolston 

Rams. 

And Caleb took home the under 

11 player of the day trophy after 

his team’s 16-16 draw with the 

Hornby Panthers. 

a skate park. 

“When I talk to people at 

school you get a lot of support for 

that. Particularly if they have got 

young kids,” he said. 

Mr Miller said signatures are 

still being collected, but as of last 

week he had about 700. The online 

version of the petition created 

last week is also growing with 159 

signatures collected so far. 

“Outside of organised sport on 

Saturday morning there is not a 

lot for them to do by themselves 

outside,” Mr Miller said. 

Halswell resident Giarne Harrison, 

who is helping to collect 

signatures in support of the skate 

park said the petition was a good 

way to start a discussion. 

She said it was a “bit naive” to 

expect only Halswell residents 

should sign both petitions. 

“I gathered a couple of signatures 

from people who used to 

live in Halswell. And from people 

from outside of the suburb 

who were keen to support youth. 

“We already have so many 

people use the domain from 

outside Halswell.” 

Last week the Western News 

reported the Halswell Domain 

Action Group had presented a 

petition signed by 570 residents 

against the skate park to the 

Riccarton-Wigram Community 

Board. 

The petition presented by 

Halswell Domain Action Group 

member Wendy Gilbert said 

they felt the skate park had the 

potential to devalue properties 

and could introduce an element 

of “anti-social” behaviour. 

The petition was made up by 

433 residents, 50 park users, 51 

Model Railway Engineers members 

and 36 local businesses and 

customers. 

But Mrs Gilbert said the 

Jauzion Woods Van Reid Caleb Crawford 

Halswell Domain Action was not 

opposed to having a skate park 

in the Halswell area. 

Out of 280 submissions made 

to the city council, 60 per cent 

were in support of the Halswell 

Domain location as their first 

choice. 

Mr Miller said while it is best 

the city council decides on the 

location, the Halswell Domain is 

a popular option. 

A decision on the location 

of the skate park will be made 

on July 27 at an extraordinary 


Board meeting.

News...................................3,5,6 

I’m a little too long in the tooth to remember 

watching The Little Mermaid 

movie, but I do like the sound of the 

adaptation starring former Ara Institute 

of Canterbury’s Rebekah Head. 

It is not based on the Disney classic 

but on the Maori story of Pania of 

the Reef and the exploits of her grand 

daughter PJ. It is on from tomorrow 

at The Court Theatre – perfect timing 

for the school holidays, check it out 

on page 10 and 11. 

Skate parks – people either love 

’em or hate ’em. I was glad to read 

reporter Georgia O’Connor Harding’s 

article that people have responded to 

a petition against the proposed Halswell 

skate park, with one calling for it. 

It will be interesting to watch how it 

all plays out. 

As I mentioned before, it is school 

holidays and we would love to see 

your photos of kids having fun. 

It could be at school holiday programmes 

or out and about. Send 

them through to georgia.harding@

published.

Horn makes bid for council 


A KEY voice in the boycott of 

the cafe at Te Hapua: Halswell 

Centre will try to secure a seat 

around the city council table this 

election. 

Halswell Community Project 

chairwoman Chrys Horn (right) 

will be standing for the city 

council ward of Halswell. 

So far Ms Horn will be 

standing against co-ordinator 

of the Home Interaction 

Programme for Parents and 

Youngsters Anne Galloway and 


Board member Peter Laloli. 

Debbie Mora will be running 

for the board in Halswell. 

Ms Horn was responsible 

for creating a newsletter in 

2010 and the Halswell 

Community Project group in 

2012 as a way to connecting the 

community. 

Most recently Ms Horn has 

been in support of getting a skate 

park into Halswell for youth and 

helping to boycott the Wishbone 

Cafe at the Te Hapua: Halswell 

Centre. 

But she said the boycott was 

not her fault and the cafe had 

“shot themselves in the foot”. 

“I don’t think I have that much 

influence. Sure, a few people 

might not being buying stuff 

there because of me but the bulk 

of people would still go there”. 

She said Wishbone had 

a particular model that was 

not adaptable to the 

community. 

Ms Horn said there is an 

imbalance in the way people 

can influence the community 

board which she hopes to 

change. 

“If you are a retired, 

reasonably well-educated, welloff 

financially and you know 

how things work then you can 

be very influential with the 

community board. But if you are 

young and you don’t know how 

Peter Laloli 

Debbie Mora 

things work you are going to 

almost have no influence.” 

Mr Laloli said running for city 

council has been his intention 

for a long time. 

He said the other candidates 

that have put their names 

forward are all able. 

In Brief 

SCIRT UPDATE 

Residents of Hansons Lane, Field 

Tce, Karamu St and Wallace St 

in Riccarton, Ilam and Bryndwr 

will have SCIRT teams working 

on wastewater pipe-lining repairs 

in their streets this week at night. 

The work sites will be coned off 

in the middle of the road or on 

the footpaths. These works are 

part of a project of SCIRT repairs 

to the wastewater network in 

these suburbs. The project is not 

expected to be finished until 

about October. 

CORRECTION 

Last week in the an article 

on the Halswell Skate Park 

the Western News referred to 


Board deputy chairwoman Helen 

Broughton as “chairwoman”. It 

is chaired by Mike Mora. The 

Western News apologies for the 

error. 

WORK UNDER WAY 

Repairs to the earthquakedamaged 

wastewater system 

on Fendalton Rd, near the 

intersection with Deans and 

Harper Aves, is underway. Work 

will start between numbers 2-4

WESTERN NEWS 

Your Local Views 

A reader responds to last 

week’s Western News 

article on the Halswell 

skate park: 

Bianca Watson – I have 

read the article in the latest 

Western News and felt I needed 

to say something. 

Firstly I agree totally with 

the comment that community 

boards are far too influenced 

by the noisy minority. Approximately 

seven years ago 

when I was living in Redcliffs 

we had the same problem. 

The children and youth 

wanted a skate park but whatever 

the proposed location 

people living close objected using 

the reason of devaluing the 

properties and the attraction of 

undesirable people. 

We went to the community 

board with many submissions 

– many got up and spoke 

including some of the undesirable 

from our community, an 

83-year-old grandmother who 

lived opposite the proposed site 

who thought it was a great idea 

to give adolescents something 

to do in the local community, 

school principals, parents and a 

skate teacher. 

All these people had positive 

things to say about the influence 

of supporting youth and 

empowering them by listening 

to the things that they wanted 

in the local community. 

Further opposition was 

voiced by an extremely wealthy 

property owner who threatened 

to take the city council to 

court. 

Therefore, still no skatepark 

in the Redcliffs-Sumner area. 

Are people so short-sighted 

that they can not see they are 

talking about the minority of 

these kids? 

There are bad kids that tag 

and cause havoc in all communities, 

often caused from 

boredom. 

Halswell Domain is an 

excellent location as the park 

would be able to be visible from 

houses while still being far 

enough away that properties 

would not be disturbed by the 

noise. 

The community centre, pool 

and playing fields are also 

there. 

You just have to look overseas 

to see the success or multiuse 

areas as a focal point for 

the community. 

I hope the community board 

makes a decision for the majority, 

not a noisy minority. 

Ron Towner – 

Halswell Quarry sounds the 

ideal place for a skateboard 

park. It’s not close to houses, 

and will be ideal when the cafe 

opens. We could also do with a 

cafe in the domain. 

FLAME FILES 

Look while you cook 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk 

Management Officer 

I’VE SPENT much of the last 

week in the North Island. 

Firstly in Rotorua, where I visited 

the New Zealand Fire Service 

training facility for the first time. 

It is one extremely impressive 

complex, with full a number of 

buildings providing scenarios for 

training from cars to houses to 

commercial buildings, aircraft 

and ships. 

It’s a quantum leap from the 

bare concrete yard and tower that 

sufficed 35 years ago. 

While I was away, fire crews attended 

the normal range of incidents 

including, un-surprisingly, 

four kitchen fires. 

These ranged from an 

overcooked chicken breast in 

Dallington to a full house fire in 

Barbadoes St last Friday. 

I almost despair that the message, 

‘keep looking while you’re 

cooking’ continues to be ignored 

by many in our community. 

The result can be life shattering. 

One of the features of fine days 

at this time of year is that the sun 

travels low in the sky. 

This provided a shock for the 

owner of a house in Hillmorton 

returning home just before 5pm 

on Tuesday. 

She found two cushions quietly 

smouldering away in her lounge. 

The setting sun was reflecting 

perfectly from a small concave 

mirror on to the couch. 

In this case she was lucky. 

She came home just in time. 

Electric fans today have an 

oscillating feature that widens the 

dispersal of air. 

A fan against a wall that 

prevented this movement in St 

Martins last week was found to 

be overheating. 

Again just in time. 

But another thing that can ruin 

your life.

Business boost for The Hub 

• By Annabelle Dick 

THE EXPANSION of The Hub 

Hornby is set to grow the local 

economy and create more job 

opportunities. 

Stage two of the mall redevelopment 

is due to open on 

Thursday after four years of 

work on the extension. 

The $75 million refurbishment 

will see the centre grow 

from 1200 sq m to 6000 sq m. 

The Hub Hornby centre manager 

Jason Marsden said dozens 

of outlets will be introduced 

growing the number of retailers 

to nearly 100. 

“We’ll end up with a mall 

that’s a true regional centre so 

that means it will have a really 

broad offering of food and 

fashion to service the growing 

community,” he said. 

Mr Marsden said the mall 

has been the main outlet for 

residents in outlying satellite 

towns and western suburbs 

since before and following the 

earthquakes. 

But the centre has seen the 

number of people they service 

increase by 52 per cent due to 

the influx of residents moving 

to the area. 

“We’re really playing catch up 

with the growth,” Mr Marsden 

said. 

EXPANSION: A $75 million refurbishment is nearly 

completed at The Hub Hornby. 

Developers are aiming to bring 

vibrancy to the west and complement 

retailers already in the area. 

Mr Marsden said the mall 

development will increase 

business locally with the Dress- 

Smart outlet, the Horn by 

Working Men’s Club new retail 

precinct and the former Mitre 

10 site all nearby. 

He also says the introduction 

of the multi-million dollar centre 

will create a number of jobs 

for those in the community. 

“At the end of the day all 

those shops are going to be 

looking for staff and even 

throughout the build process 

we’ve had many contractors so 

that’s already bought money 

into the local area.” 

Developers will then spend 

the next three months completing 

the northern entrance way 

as part of the final stage of the 

refurbishment. 

BILINGUAL: Amiria and Matakaea Tikao helped supermarket 

customers celebrate Maori Language Week. 

Pupils teach Te Reo 

TWO PUPILS – one from Shirley 

Intermediate and the other from 

St Albans School – were the 

voices behind a supermarket 

initiative to celebrate Maori 

Language Week. 

Amiria Tikao, 12, and her 

younger sister Matakaea, 9, 

had their voices professionally 

recorded in a sound studio to 

help SuperValue and FreshChoice 

customers better understand the 

Maori language. 

The sisters were recorded pronouncing 

items such as apples, 

mushrooms, fish, milk, meat, 

kiwifruit and cheese, along with 

many others. 

Amiria said it was a fun project 

to be involved with. 

“It was really cool. It took about 

45mins, so not very long . . . we 

got most of the words first time, 

which was good,” she said. 

Local SuperValue and Fresh- 

Choice supermarkets then put 

posters up around their stores, 

with a QR code that customers 

could scan with their cell phone. 

The code led to a website where 

they could hear the two pupils 

correctly pronounce the word. 

Amiria said she had not yet 

tested out the posters, but she 

would think about going in later. 

SuperValue and FreshChoice 

brands manager Liz de Lange 

said that when the campaign was 

run last year, the QR codes were 

used thousands of times.

Funding 

boost for 

swim classes 

ABOUT 1300 more children 

will be able to join Swimsafe 

classes in the next year thanks 

to a $40,000 funding increase. 

The boost was approved by 

city council as part of its Annual 

Plan for 2016/17. 

The money will go towards a 

transport subsidy for children 

travelling by bus to city council 

swimming pools to take part in 

the programme. 

It also agreed to introduce a 

25 per cent discount on entry 

fees to centres such as Te Hapua: 

Halswell Centre and Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sports Centre 

for children of Community 

Services Card holders in a bid to 

improve access to pools. 

The discount on entry fees 

will be introduced from October 

1. 

The child entry fee for swimming 

at council pools is due to 

go up from $3.10 to $3.50 in October 

however, city council staff 

are investigating how the cost 

can be kept as low as possible. 

Acting head of recreation 

and sports David Bailey said 

the extra funding would help 

make Swimsafe more accessible, 

particularly for students at low 

decile schools. 

Changeover for residents’ associations 

as long-time chairmen stand down 


HALSWELL RESIDENTS’ 

Association chairman Ron 

Fensom has retired from his role 

after leading the organisation 

through the changing landscape 

for 22 years. 

A handover of the role as 

chairman was held recently with 

member John Bennett stepping 

into the role as chairman. 

But Mr Fensom said he will 

still be active in the community 

with several projects he is involved 

with. 

Mr Fensom has spent 55 

years in Halswell and has been 

involved in groups including the 

Halswell Lions Club. 

In his time as chairman Mr

Brainy students 

A RICCARTON High School 

student has been named 

the overall winner of Otago 

University’s Brain Bee South 

Island final held recently. 

It is New Zealand’s only neuroscience 

competition for high 

school students. 

Riccarton High’s Daniel Wei 

(above) was the overall competition 

winner. 

Villa Maria College students 

also came first in the overall team 

competition, while Riccarton 

High came third. 

Daniel will travel to Hobart 

in December to compete in the 

Brain Bee national final. 

South Island Brain Bee organiser 

Dr Ruth Napper said the 

competition attracted “the best of 

the best’’. 

Students also had the 

opportunity to listen to a 

lecture by Otago University 

psychology lecturer Dr Kristin 

Hillman about “the brains of 

slackers’’. 

They will also participate 

in a laboratory session on the 

anatomy of the nervous 

system. 

Working for children, refugees 

and emergency services 

A ST Thomas of Canterbury 

College student has been 

recognised for the contributions 

he has made to the community. 

Hamish Simpson has volunteered 

for the past three years 

at St Christopher’s Anglican 

Church where he has established 

a weekly mentoring programme 

called “Oasis”. 

The aim behind “Oasis” is for 

children to learn values, understand 

theology and develop 

leadership skills. 

Mr Simpson’s other work has 

included leading the Te Mapa 

Trust holiday camp for children 

with challenging backgrounds 

in 2014. 

He has directed social enterprise 

team based at his school 

called Chariot Brothers. 

The team designed and produced 

a light-weight, collapsible 

and low-cost ‘chariot’ stretcher 

for use in emergency situations. 

Mr Simpson was a volunteer 

at Calcutta’s Missionaries of 

Charity orphanage for six weeks 

last year in India along with students 

Ben O’Connell and Tim 

Marshall. 

The trio’s experience in India 

inspired them to make a difference 

for children globally. The 

result was “Tribal”. 

The project was an interactive

Mr Simpson has also acted 

for change and helped draft and 

present a bill to the Anglican 

General Synod asking the Anglican 

Church to put pressure 

on the government to increase 

its annual refugee quota. 

His work was recognised 

at the Spreydon-Heathcote

Service Awards. 

Final countdown for SCIRT programme 

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls 

is now 91% complete and will finish in December. 

Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s underground 

pipe networks. 

SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip between 

Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing their important job 

below ground. 

Progress in your neighbourhood 

• SCIRT crews have been out in force fixing underground pipes and roads this year in the 

western suburbs. 

• Extensive repairs to the wastewater network in Upper Riccarton and Ilam will be 

completed in September. 

• Repairs to underground pipes and roading throughout the Hornby area are more than 

halfway through and will be complete in October this year. 

• Essential wastewater repairs at the western end of Aikmans Road in Merivale have 

begun and will be completed in the next month. 

• Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the SCIRT team.

WESTERN NEWS 

Rebekah Head 

Diving deep into new role as 

The Little Mermaid will be visiting the city as 

part of her big above-sea experience. Played by 

Rebekah Head, she spoke to Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding about playing mythical Maori character 

Pania of the Reef’s mermaid grand-daughter, 

living out of a suitcase and what she hopes to do 

next. 

Hey Rebekah, how have the 

rehearsals been going? 

It is has been a fast rehearsal 

process but it is a lot of fun and 

laughs. There are three actors. 

Unlike me, the other two actors 

get to do a lot of costume 

changes and swapping between 

other roles so I have the easy job 

in that sense. 

How come the little mermaid 

in this show is called PJ rather 

than the Princess Ariel we all 

know from Disney? 

The show adapted by Alison 

Horsley has incorporated the 

story of Pania of the Reef. There 

is a statue in Napier and she is 

part of Maori mythology. It is a 

New Zealand story. So PJ the 

mermaid is the grand-daughter 

of Pania of the Reef. It is definitely 

a more localised story. 

Have you grown up watching 

the Disney version of The Little 

Mermaid? 

Definitely. Religiously. 

So how does it feel to be the 

mermaid of the show? 

It is very exciting and a bit 

nerve-racking because I think 

lots of people have The Little 

Mermaid in their head already. I 

am looking forward to creating 

my own version. Hopefully that 

is something people enjoy. 

How are you planning to portray 

yourself differently to The 

Little Mermaid we all know? 

Ariel was a large inspiration 

for the character but that is quite 

an American story so I have 

tried to make myself into more 

of a Kiwi mermaid. The wonderful 

work from the costume ladies 

has helped. The magnificent tails, 

with loads of sequins fellow actor 

Jane and I both wear, make it 

easy to take on the character. 

Following on from studying 

at National Academy of Singing 

and Dramatic Art, are you 

EMERGING PERFORMER: Former NASDA student Rebekah 

Head is making her way in the performing arts industry in New 

Zealand. 

performing full-time? 

I am trying to perform fulltime 

but it is a bit tricky because 

performing jobs only last a 

month or two especially shows. 

You rehearse them for two weeks 

and then perform them for 

two weeks. I have been moving 

around Auckland, Christchurch 

and Hawke’s Bay in the last few 

months with various kids shows. 

Last year, I toured around New 

Zealand and Australia for a few 

months with the New Zealand 

Playhouse. 

Would touring Australia be 

the main highlight since leaving 

NASDA? 

Definitely touring Australia for 

10 months was a highlight. It was 

a crazy experience – I saw a lot 

of cool places. We started in 

Brisbane and went all the way 

across to Perth. We drove all 

the way, too. We performed 

high school and primary school 

shows. 

Our show for high schools was 

an adaptation of the Importance 

of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. 

Our primary school show was 

called Jack Flash and the Jumping 

Beanstalk. They were 50 minute 

shows and they were performed 

three time a day. 

Do you ever get tired of the 

performing lifestyle? 

No, but the performing lifestyle 

is a specific one. I feel like 

I have spent the last two years 

living out of a suitcase, which 

perhaps isn’t everybody’s lifestyle 

choice, but I love it and won’t be 

stopping anytime soon. 

What was NASDA in the city 

like because I hear it is tough? 

I think any performing school 

is tough. You learn a lot about 

yourself because it is a very vulnerable 

craft to be doing.

Maori-inspired little mermaid 

What did you learn about 

yourself? 

I suppose you learn how you 

behave as a person with other 

people when you are under a 

lot of pressure. There are quite a 

lot of time pressures at NASDA. 

A lot of creative art can’t be 

forced. You learn a lot when you 

are pushed to your limits. 

What do you enjoy about children’s 

shows compared to the 

other shows you have done? 

One of the most exciting things 

about children’s theatre is that 

children are the most honest 

audience members you are ever 

going to get. If they are not enjoying 

a show they will let you know 

because they will start moving 

around. It is exciting hearing all 

the things yelled out as well. 

What do you think about the 

relaxed performance for children, 

including those with an 

Autism Spectrum Condition or 

learning disability? 

I think it is wonderful they are 

making this show accessible for 

people who wouldn’t feel comfortable 

bringing their children to 

the theatre. Children are always 

yelling out different things so I 

don’t think it would be too different 

for us. 

Tell me about the other performers 

in the show. 

In the Disney performance Eric 

is known as the Prince. But in 

our show, Isaac Pawson is playing 

a character called Dylan. But I 

wouldn’t really call him a prince. 

It is a modern tale of The Little 

Mermaid. He is just a cool guy 

who lives in Christchurch. Jane 

Leonard will be playing Pania of 

the Reef and Pania’s evil sister 

Kelpie. Pania of the Reef is a New 

Zealand character but Kelpie the 

evil twin is more of a Cruella De 

Vil type of vibe. 

So what’s next? 

After this I am going to go 

travelling to Europe for a month. 

I am starting off in London and 

then going to Barcelona. It is 

more of an overseas experience. I 

will be watching a lot of shows. I 

already have a lot booked at West 

End in London. I am going to 

Matilda The Musical, The Curious 

Incident of the Dog in the Night- 

Time, which the Court Theatre 

is doing next year. When I come 

home it will be back into the 

performing. 

Going to West End, are there 

any companies you dream of 

performing for in the future? 

The Court Theatre was something 

I have always hoped to perform 

[for] and I feel lucky to be 

performing with them, so hopefully 

again one day. I would also 

like to perform for the Auckland 

Theatre Company. Obviously, the 

West End would be an amazing 

dream come true but it is one in 

the distance. 

I saw on your biography you 

are a member of Equity New 

Zealand? What is that all about? 

Basically, it is a union for actors 

– somewhere to go if they need 

help with sorting out contracts 

or finding out your rights as 

an actor. Just making sure you 

are looked after. They offer free 

workshops to actors to extend 

their performing skills. I think 

it is important to join this support 

system. It is also a wonderful 

way to stay connected with other 

actors in the industry. I have been 

a member for two years. 

And last but not least, why do 

you think people should come 

to The Little Mermaid? 

It is a fun, funny show that has 

something for everyone. I am 

excited to be doing a kids show 

that has lots of songs in it as well. 

I think putting songs in a kids 

show creates a wonderful flow. 

It has been awesome working 

with Matt Everingham who 

has done all the music. All of us 

actors are ex-NASDA students 

which is cool. We were not in the 

same year but we were all in three 

consecutive years. 

ABOVE THE SEA: Rebekah will play the role of The Little 

Mermaid in the upcoming production at The Court Theatre. 

Clever? 

Compact? 

LARGE? 

However you like it - Our work spans all types of house building 

When it comes to scope and style the homes you see here are just the tip of the roofline. With 

decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes have worked in all areas of residential 

construction. There are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom home compared 

to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our overall approach remains the same. 

While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted home building we also are renowned 

for getting the right result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult access, 

looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of life for us. 

Our house looks great. I have been 

very impressed with the Artisan team. 

Good build quality, very good progress 

& clear open communication. 

Thanks heaps! “ 

~ Peter, Halswell 

My husband and I have just moved into a home built by 

Artisan Homes. Even though it is a large home we had no 

delays with supply or tradesmen. We were concerned when 

choosing a builder as we are in the Christchurch rebuild 

zone. Rob and his team were honest, very prompt sorting 

out any queries and helped with choices throughout the 

entire build. We are very pleased with our home. The 

quality and service was excellent. If we ever build again, it 

will be with Artisan Homes.

St Andrew’s finals charge 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ST ANDREW’S College has 

re-ignited their finals hopes in 

this year’s UC Championship 

going into the school holidays. 

A 23-12 win over Burnside 

High School has moved STAC 

to sixth in the championship. 

With four rounds remaining 

in the competition, STAC went 

into Saturday’s game five points 

outside of the top four. 

STAC hosted Burnside which 

occupied fifth in the competition 

and had the opportunity 

to separate themselves from the 

chasing pack. 

Wins for third and fourth 

placed Shirley Boys’ High 

School and Nelson College at 

the weekend means that STAC 

will have to finish strong. 

It won’t be easy with two 

challenging away games to end 

the round robin. 

STAC will host bottom of 

the table Roncalli when the UC 

Championship resumes next 

weekend. 

They then face competition 

favourites Christchurch Boys’ 

High School in their penultimate 

game before a final round 

match with top of the table 

Christ’s College. 

St Bede’s College’s push for 

the finals is all but over. 

St Bede’s lost 15-24 to last 

year’s finalists Shirley and are 

now seven points off the top 

four. 

GAME ON: St Andrew’s College kept their hopes of a finals 

spot alive with a 23-12 win over Burnside High School on 

Saturday. 

Saturday’s UC Championship 

results: 

Shirley BHS 24-15 St Bede’s; 

St Andrew’s 23-12 Burnside

Close call in 

Moascar Cup 

ST THOMAS’ of Canterbury 

College came agonisingly close 

to capturing one of New Zealand 

rugby’s most prestigious trophy’s – 

the Moascar Cup – losing to Nelson 

25-27 on Saturday. 

The cup is the school boy rugby 

equivalent of the Ranfurly Shield. 

St Thomas’ led cup holders 

Nelson College 25-24 going into 

the final moments of Saturday’s UC 

Championship match in Nelson. 

First-five Patrick Elia kicked what 

looked like the winning penalty 

for St Thomas with three minutes 

remaining. 

“The team were seconds away 

from creating history before a penalty 

allowed the home side to retain 

the cup with a successful penalty 

kick,” said St Thomas’ teacher and 

former rugby coach Steve Hart. 

“It would have been pretty massive 

for our school. To come up 

short like that was a pretty tough 

pill to swallow,” he said. 

Kicking was the difference. Nelson 

kicked five penalties, while St 

Thomas could only convert one of 

their four tries. 

It was the forwards doing the 

job for St Thomas. No 8 Anetelea 

SPORTS 

Vaifale, prop Jakob Mangels, lock 

Richmond Patea all crossed the 

line, along with half-back Tapu 

Uliano. 

When Nelson claimed the Moascar 

Cup from Timaru Boys’ High 

School few would have highlighted 

the defence against St Thomas as 

their toughest. 

Previous Moascar Cup defences 

against more fancied opposition, 

including St Andrew’s College and 

Shirley Boys’ High School, were 

seen as Nelson’s biggest threats 

before the end of the season. 

Nelson made easy work of them, 

though, defeating St Thomas 25-14 

and Shirley BHS 35-15. 

St Thomas had a slow start to this 

year’s UC Championship. However, 

they were confident going up to 

Nelson following a 31-17 win over 

third place Shirley BHS the previous 

week. 

The top four may be out of the 

picture for the team, but they will 

hope to push their case for the plate 

competition. 

The UC Championship plate is 

contested between teams that finish 

from fifth through to eighth following 

the round-robin.

Tattoo removal specialists 

offer discreet professional service 

The TaTToo Removal Company is the first in Christchurch to 

specialise in the removal of tattoos, and removing clients’ unwanted 

tattoos is their sole focus. 

WESTERN NEWS 

This family business has three 

technicians, male and female, who have 

undergone extensive training and are 

committed to ongoing professional 

training to maintain their skills. Coming 

from beauty, hairdressing and hospitality 

backgrounds, they love working with 

people and providing a friendly and totally 

professional service. 

for whatever reason you wish to remove 

your tattoo, the technicians provide a fast, 

effective, confidential and unprejudiced 

service in an exclusive, private environment. 

Whether you are having a full tattoo 

removal or lightening a tattoo for a cover-up 

with new art, during the initial consultation 

your technician will take the time to fully 

understand your needs, relevant medical 

history and the history of the tattoo in 

question so that you get the best service 

possible.

removes tattoos effectively. The laser emits 

short, nanosecond energy pulses that 

penetrate the tissue and shatter particles of 

ink pigment into fragments, which are then 

eliminated via the lymphatic system.

it is very brief. however, ice packs and 

numbing cream can be provided if required. 

Before

Treatment and the number of sessions

sessions.

their skin during breast cancer treatment,

these at no cost.

HealTH & BeauTY 

Keeping TracK 

Of YOur HealTH 

Lets take a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and 

how does it work? Most importantly, 

how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime? 

Fitbit consists of a family of products 

designed to track every part of your day 

– including activity, exercise, food, weight 

and sleep – to help you stay motivated, 

and see how small steps make a big 

impact. There’s something for every taste, 

budget and technical requirement from 

the everyday category of wrist bands to 

performance-specific watches. 

All Fitbit products track steps, distance, 

calories burned and active minutes. All 

but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep 

patterns. At the performance end of the 

range you’ll also have access to things 

like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of 

the products feature wireless syncing and 

online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit 

app to help track your exercise, sleep, 

hydration and food, and connect with 

friends. 

Seeing your progress can really help 

you realise what’s possible, and investing 

in a Fitbit may help to take you on the 

next step of your health and fitness 

journey. 

Fitbit was built on the premise that 

fitness is not just about gym time; it’s 

about all the time. So, it can be a great 

addition to your fitness regime. 

There are many things to consider when choosing a 

health and fitness regime to follow through with. 

for example: 

• What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking, 

cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else? 

• Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a 

personal trainer? 

• What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on 

processed food, for example? 

• Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as 

the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise? 

• Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?! 

Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port 

of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you 

with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals. 

Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp 

up your progress towards your goals. investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this, 

especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure 

progress from 

each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a 

mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be 

just the ticket.

WESTERN NEWS 

Winning ticket on Tui 

40 Tui Street, Fendalton 

Auction: 28 July 2016 unless sold prior 

4 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 toilet | 2 living room | 1 car garage | Listing #: PI55813 

Rent, renovate or redevelop? This 

property could be your lucky ticket, 

with its mouthwatering array of 

opportunities for the savvy investor. 

Situated on a superb 1004sqm freehold corner 

site with a blue chip Fendalton address, the 

upside of this house and land couldn’t be sweeter. 

The substantial character home is presented in 

very tidy condition. Two generous living areas 

boast wood panelling and lead lights to excite the 

character lover, while the roomy separate kitchen 

is perfectly functional, but ripe for updating. 

There are four good bedrooms, and the bathroom 

is fresh and neat with a separate shower. A heat 

pump and log burner will keep family or tenants 

cosy. Outside, the section is fully fenced with a 

single garage and established gardens. 

Breathing new life into the home would be 

an enticing project, but others will be drawn 

to the possibilities presented by renting out the 

property while developing plans for a new build 

on the site. There is possibly even the potential 

to subdivide. Whichever way you look at it, the 

value is underpinned by a top location, in zone 

for Fendalton School, Boys’ High and Girls’ High. 

You’ve got to be in to win, so contact us today 

to find out more! 

Open homes dates: Saturday, July 16, and 

Sunday, July 17, 2pm to 2.30pm and Saturday, 

July 23, and Sunday, July 24, 2pm to 2.30pm.
