Skate park decision soon 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

THE CITY council has revealed 

Knights Stream Sports Park is 

their preferred location for the 

contentious Halswell Skate and 

Recreation Park. 

After months of controversy 

and petitions a decision on the 

location will be made at an extraordinary 

Riccarton-Wigram 

Community Board meeting 

tomorrow. 

Halswell Community Project 

spokeswoman Chrys Horn 

(right) said she was concerned 

Knights Stream Sports Park is 

too far away “shoving young 

people” out of sight due to the 

controversy 

surrounding the 

skatepark. 

She said while 

the area won’t be 

isolated for long 

due to the housing 

development, 

she did not think 

it was the best option. 

“I do feel like it is a little bit 

like shoving young people out 

and away from the centre. 

“The Halswell Domain is the 

obvious place because it is near 

all the sports clubs,” she said. 

Riccarton-Wigram Community 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said he is concerned Knights 

Stream Sports Park is too far 

away from the Halswell centre 

but has an open mind on both 

locations. 

He said he had personally 

asked the city council to consider 

installing two skateparks instead 

of one, one for juniors and other 

for intermediate-aged young 

people. 

A city council report said advantages 

of the location was the 

skate park could be co-ordinated 

with other proposed facilities 

like a “learn to ride” bicycle track 

and basketball facilities. 

It was the preferred location 

because noise from the park 

would be separated from residential 

area. 

The nearest residential 

area is Whincops Rd which is 

about 190m from the sports 

park. 

The news comes on the heels 

that a third petition against the 

skatepark being in Westlake 

Reserve has been presented to 

the community board. 

Haley Anderson of Westlake 

Reserve presented a petition 

signed by 204 residents opposing 

the placement of a skate park in 

Westlake Reserve. 

The petition comes after more 

than 600 people signed against 

having a skate park established 

in the Halswell Domain and 800 

people signed in support.

Police team to leave Riccarton 

In Brief 


and Fraser Walker-Pearce 

THE RICCARTON 

Neighbourhood Policing team 

is on the move to Aranui in a 

bid to address crime in the east, 

but say they are not abandoning 

the area. 

The policing team has been 

based in Riccarton for the 

past five years, but will make 

the move in October, due to a 

higher crime rate in the eastern 

suburbs. 

Police say the team has 

been successful in halving the 

amount of burglaries since 

the Riccarton Neighbourhood 

Policing Team was established, 

and have hopes the same result 

will happen for the east. 

The team will finish its work 

in Riccarton on October 1, and 

then make 

the move to 

Aranui, where 

New Brighton 

Senior Sergeant 

Dave 

Robertson 

(left) said it 

will target the high crime 

rate. 

“We’re definitely not abandoning 

Riccarton at all, there 

will still be community services 

staff working in that area with 

NEW BEGINNINGS: The Riccarton Neighbourhood Policing team is moving to Aranui. 

large organisations and the 

mall,” he said. 

Acting Superintendent Peter 

Cooper said although the policing 

team is based in Aranui, 

they may be back in Riccarton 

on occasions. 

“We are reasonably confident 

now. As always with these 

policing neighbourhood teams, 

they won’t stay forever. They are 

a five-year commitment which 

is up now,” he said. 

Senior Sergeant Robertson 

said police had discussed the 

move “for some time”, and 

decided there was a greater 

need in Aranui than there was 

in Riccarton. 

Acting Superintendent 

Cooper said in the meantime, 

there will still be a community 

constable in Riccarton along 

with other police resources 

around the area. 

The neighbourhood policing 

team was first formed as a three 

to five-year project designed 

to address underlying causes 

around crime. 

Senior Sergeant Robertson 

said Riccarton will still be 

looked after when the neighbourhood 

team leaves.

Time to accept 

all cultures 

Canterbury 

University 

student 

Josiah 

Tualamali’i 

writes about 

accepting all 

cultures in 

the Riccarton- 

Ilam area. 

Talofa lava my name is Josiah 

Tualamali’i. 

I’m in my third year studying 

politics and history at Canterbury 

University and I went to 

Middleton Grange for high 

school. Now I flat in Ilam just 

along from the education campus 

of the University. 

Two weeks ago I was driving 

past Riccarton Mall and I saw a 

group of people in a car roll down 

their window and throw rubbish 

at this Asian-Kiwi young person. 

In Ilam and Riccarton we 

have a very diverse population, 

but our community is not one 

of acceptance and inclusion 

for all people. I believe it’s 

really important we have open 

conversations about how we can 

make this an inclusive place. 

Right now the city council 

has opened up its multicultural 

strategy for consultation until 

July 30. This is a chance to shape 

our city. It is also the way our city 

council is demonstrating it wants 

to take leadership in making this 

a place of belonging for everyone. 

While this is happening it’s 

also a good time to think about 

how inclusive we are in our own 

streets and neighbourhoods.

FLAME FILES 

Don’t be dumb with fire 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk 

Management Officer 

A COUPLE of big fires featured 

in the city this week including 

the widely reported event in the 

Sol Square building that was 

demolished last weekend after 

fire damage completed the work 

that an earthquake started five 

years ago. 

This fire (right) is the latest 

example of the fact that if buildings 

are left empty for years the 

potential for them to be set on 

fire increases every week. 

Particularly those buildings 

that can be accessed easily and 

furtively. 

The incident involved seven 

fire appliances and a command 

unit and tied up resources for 14 

hours. 

The other large fire was the destruction 

of a 100-year-old house 

in Clifton Bay that occurred in 

the early hours of last Sunday. 

Inquiries as to its cause are 

continuing but this was another 

house empty with earthquake 

damage. 

It was the largest fire the Sumner 

Brigade has been faced with 

for some time. 

Also over the week were four 

incidents where people were 

hurt, generally trying to control 

a fire, failing and burning themselves 

in the process or swallowing 

enough smoke to make them 

sick. 

A young man was burnt at a 

party bonfire near the university 

early on Saturday evening. 

He was taken to hospital and 

NEW LOCATION ADVERT.pdf 1 1/05/2014 11:51:35 a.m. 

the fire was put out. 

Only to be lit again after the 

crew departed. 

Two things. 

Alcohol and fire don’t mix 

well. 

And re-lighting a fire after fire 

crews have gone is dumb and 

irresponsible. 

Which takes us back to the 

first thing doesn’t it?

Ngaio Marsh Theatre 

set to rise again 


IT HAS been confirmed the 

Ngaio Marsh Theatre will 

be rebuilt as part of the new 

University of Canterbury 

Students’ Association building. 

The planned theatre will have 

300 retractable seats and, once 

retracted, there will be standing 

room for 1000 people. 

The previous theatre, destroyed 

due to damage sustained from 

the 2011 earthquakes, was named 

after Dame Ngaio Marsh who was 

a director and patron of theatre at 

Canterbury University between 

1942 and 1949. 

It was well-used by the university’s 

musical and drama societies, 

as well as surrounding schools 

and various other community 

groups. 

In October 2015, a decision was 

made to demolish the old theatre. 

Construction of the new $26 

million UCSA building, including 

the new theatre, is set to begin 

early next year and is scheduled 

to open in 2019. 

The demolition of the old 

UCSA building will be completed 

next month. 

The new UCSA building will 

THE NEXT STEP: An artist’s impression of the new Ngaio 

Marsh Theatre. 

include a student space, event 

area, bar, quiet lounge space and 

the Ngaio Marsh Theatre. 

The university’s musical theatre 

society president Clive Antony 

said the society is saving money 

for the opening of the new theatre. 

UCSA president James Addington 

said the new building will be 

51 per cent owned by the UCSA 

and 49 per cent owned by Canterbury 

University. 

The UCSA still needs to raise 

about $5 million to complete the 

building and will start a campaign 

to raise funds. 

The campaign will officially be 

launched on August 5-6 when 

the UCSA hosts a student executive 

reunion and fundraising 

auction.

EXPLOSIONS: Children at Halswell Quarry had the chance to 

build volcanos. 

Volcanic activities 

in the Port Hills 

ERUPTING volcanoes and 

shrieks of delight shattered 

the peace at Halswell Quarry 

Park last week, as a group of 

children were treated to a hands 

on lesson about the Port Hills’ 

volcanic history. 

A group of children and 

adults gathered at Halswell 

Quarry Park to build volcanoes 

out of material from around the 

area before making them erupt. 

The children also learned 

how to make mokihi – ancient 

canoes traditionally used by 

Maori. 

City council park rangers 

then tested the mokihi by racing 

them through the wetlands 

as children bombarded them 

with water and flour bombs. 

Park ranger Robbie Hewson 

said the rangers wanted the 

kids to have fun and learn 

about the history of the Port 

Hills. 

“We sneaked a few history 

lessons into the afternoon but 

mainly it was just crazy fun,’’ 

Mr Hewson said. 

Final countdown for SCIRT programme 

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

is now 92% 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 

Memorable moments from nearly 

Dr Kate Dewes has been fighting to keep New Zealand 

nuclear-free since her early 20s. She spoke to reporter 

Caitlin Miles about receiving threats for her work, sharing 

a memorable moment with the United Nations secretary 

general in 2011 and her plans to spend more time with 

her family 

Now that New Zealand has been 

nuclear free for nearly 30 years, 

can you tell me why you became 

involved in nuclear disarmament 

work? 

It goes back to 1975. I was a 

23-year-old music teacher at Epsom 

Girls Grammar, and at the time I 

was about to teach the girls a piece 

of music dedicated to the survivors 

of the atomic bomb that was 

dropped on Hiroshima. I wanted to 

learn who the victims were and what 

happened to them and the aftermath 

of it. I was horrified. I decided 

I wanted to go back to university 

and learn about peace studies and 

nuclear disarmament. 

Is that when you decided to 

study in England? 

No university in New Zealand was 

offering a course in peace studies. So 

I had to leave the country to be able 

to do it. I went to Bradford University 

to learn more about peace 

talks, disarmament and what was 

happening around the world. I lived 

in Bradford while I studied and then 

came back here. 

Why did you decide to come 

back to Christchurch? 

Well, I had to. And I was pregnant 

with my first daughter so I wanted 

to settle back here. I also wanted to 

be able to keep working on disarmament 

and promoting peace talks 

within Christchurch and the rest of 

New Zealand. In 1979, I had my first 

daughter and became a founding 

member of the Peace Foundation. 

I ran the Christchurch office from 

home. I still do. 

How was it balancing motherhood 

and work? 

It was tough. I have three 

daughters and I was a solo mum so 

there was a lot to do. It was really a 

balancing act. I never had hired help 

to look after my girls that was part 

of my job. There were other woman 

involved in the Peace Foundation 

so we would take turns baby sitting 

each others kids when we needed 

to do things. I slowed down a bit 

after the earthquakes, though. It was 

more a case that I had to. 

Why was that? 

Our house in Riccarton was 

damaged following the September 

4, 2010, earthquake and all of my 

work and the paper I had written on 

nuclear disarmament, and my PhD 

on peace issues, had to be put into 

storage so they could be kept safe. It 

MEMORABLE: Following the February 22, 2011, earthquake, UN 

secretary general Ban Ki-moon told Dr Dewes that the people 

of Christchurch had his support. 

turned out to be about 120 banana 

boxes of work. Funnily, they were 

stored in the Air Force Museum 

here in Christchurch. 

You got some abuse for what you 

were doing, can you tell me a bit 

about that? 

There were some people that were 

against what we were doing. It was 

the height of the cold war and we 

wanted to educate people as to what 

was going on. I was getting threatening 

phone calls about being attacked 

and some people even came to my 

home. I remember a photo was 

taken of me in the paper with one 

of my daughters sitting on my lap 

and someone said to me, ‘how dare 

you travel and work internationally 

when you have a family!’ I just 

laugh about it. There was a group 

that was against our idea of encouraging 

schools to teach children 

about peace settlements and things. 

Someone from the group against 

what we were doing spoke at a concerned 

parents’ association meeting 

in Hamilton. That’s where I am from 

and my parents were in the audience. 

During the person’s speech, 

he called me a communist, not that 

there was anything wrong with that, 

but at the time that was a rather 

weighted word. My parents were in 

the audience, and my dad stood up 

and said that I was his daughter and 

he defended me. That was a really 

big thing to do. 

Were there many low points? 

It was hard travelling internationally 

and being a solo mum, but I did 

it. When I wasn’t overseas, I worked 

from home so I could manage. 

What do you think are your really 

big personal achievements? 

Being a mother of three daughters 

is a big personal achievement. 

Getting my PhD was another one. 

I was working, being a parent and 

doing my PhD, so I’m really proud 

of that.

30 years of nuclear resistance 

POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT: Former Prime Minister David 

Lange spoke to Dr Dewes about making New Zealand 

nuclear-free and not allowing nuclear weapons to enter the 

country. 

What about moments when you 

have had to pinch yourself? 

There were a few pinch yourself 

moments with all the people I have 

met and things we have managed 

to achieve. I was in the United 

States when I got the news that the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake hit. 

I thought about the house; it didn’t 

do well in the September-quake 

so I was worried it would be gone 

completely. I got all set to head back 

to Christchurch and I called one of 

my daughters and she said, ‘no mum 

stay there, you have some important 

things to do, you need to stay and 

do it’. So I did. In the morning, I saw 

pictures the New York Times had 

of the Cathedral and then I had to 

go and speak at the UN. We were 

standing around before the discussion 

started and someone must have 

told the UN secretary general where 

I was from and he came up to me 

and shook my hand and said, ‘please 

tell the people of Christchurch they 

have my support’. Then he told the 

whole audience at the UN where I 

was from and what had happened to 

my city. I couldn’t speak for several 

moments. I saw what had happened 

at home as an opportunity to get my 

point across. 

What was the point you were 

making? 

If we had a nuclear power centre 

in Christchurch, the effect would 

have been devastating. Especially if 

a tsunami had come through. The 

rest of the country would have been 

in a really horrible situation. The 

Japanese ambassador challenged me 

on what I said. I had no idea several 

weeks later I would be writing him 

letters of support for what had happened 

following the earthquake that 

hit Japan. 

Can you tell me a bit more about 

your involvement with the United 

Nations? 

I was appointed to the UN Secretary 

General’s Advisory Board 

on Disarmament Matters as a 

non-government member, which 

was great because I could openly 

say what I wanted and what I truly 

thought and felt. They had to look 

at things a little differently because I 

made them. I was the only female on 

the Government peace delegation 

in 1988, too. I think that I presented 

a really different perspective to the 

men as well, which was refreshing. 

I wasn’t paid for my work at the UN 

though. 

AT WORK: Dr Dewes marks on 

a map the areas that support a 

nuclear-free New Zealand. 

How could you afford not to get 

paid for your work? 

The UN paid for my flights and 

accommodation so that helped. I 

also continued working from home. 

I taught peace studies part-time at 

Canterbury University so there was 

a little bit of money. I re-married so 

there was a wage coming in. What I 

could go without, I did. But for me, 

it wasn’t about the money. I got to sit 

on the advisory board and provide 

my input and opinions, which was 

why I kept doing it. 

How did you meet your second 

husband? 

I was in Geneva for work in 1992 

and Robert Green was at the same 

convention about peace talks and 

nuclear development. Robert was 

the chair of the United Kingdom 

branch of the World Court Project 

so I gradually got to know him. I 

had to convince him to come to 

New Zealand, as the Government 

were looking at changing a clause to 

the nuclear legislation, so I needed 

to convince him to come to New 

Zealand to speak and make sure 

they didn’t change the legislation. 

When he was in the navy, he carried 

nuclear bombs so he knows what 

he’s talking about and I wanted to 

get him to share his information 

with New Zealand. Soon I had 

people sending me money to help 

get him to New Zealand. 

What do you think of Helen 

Clark running for secretary general? 

I think go Helen. I watched the 

debate she was in recently and 

thought she did really well. She has 

the knowledge and experience for 

the job and I think she would do 

really well at it. 

What are you setting your sights 

on for the future? 

Robert and I are trying to wind 

down a bit now, that’s easier said 

than done though. I would really 

like to be able to spend more 

time with my four grand-children, 

too.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN 

Children from around Sockburn and Hornby joined in on 

the fun at the Horizon Holiday Programme last week. Some 

of the children watched Impact Dance and Stage School 

perform Disney’s The Little Mermaid and took a trip to the 

Botanic Gardens. Meanwhile, another group went roller 

skating in Rolleston. 

OUT AND ABOUT: Templeton children visited Little Sisters 

Cafe, created rainbow art and jumped around at Hornby 

Inflatable World over the school holidays. 

Fun filled days 

ABOVE THE SEA: Tehya Hilton and Adelaide Geldard with Ariel 

from The Little Mermaid. 

INTO THE GARDEN: Mitchell 

Hawkes climbed a tree at the 

Botanic Gardens. 

CREATING RAINBOW art, 

going to the theatre and even 

participating in their own 

version of the Olympics were 

just some of the activities 

Templeton children got up to. 

The Busy Bumbles school holiday 

programme is based in the 

Old School Hall in Templeton. 

Busy Bumbles co-ordinator 

Lynette Lock said the children 

enjoyed days filled with fun and 

excitement. 

Children did the penguin 

shuffle, and held a ‘Busy Bumbles’ 

Olympics’. 

They organised their own 

opening ceremony, chose a 

country to represent and competed 

for medals. 

The children also played ‘giant 

games’ before finishing off the 

holidays with a fish and chips’ 

Friday and a movie. 

LET IT GO: Children in the 

south-west of the city made 

the most of the holidays by 

joining in on a fun karaoke 

session for lovers of the 

movie Frozen. They sung 

“Let it Go” and made masks 

of their favourite Frozen 

characters.

Young basketballers’ 

SPORTS 

strong showing 

TWO BURNSIDE High 

School players stood out for 

Canterbury at the under-15 and 

under-19 National Basketball 

Championships. 

Toby Gillooly was named in 

the under-19 boys’ tournament 

team and Sila Morris in the under-15 

girls’ tournament team. 

Gillooly, who also plays for the 

Canterbury Rams, led all scorers 

in Canterbury’s 94-46 semi-final 

demolition of Otago. He had 26 

points and nine rebounds. 

“He’s a very strong player in 

terms of shooting and driving 

to the basket. Toby got into a bit 

of foul trouble in the final and 

that hurt us badly,” said under-19 

coach Paul Isitt. 

Matt Dukes and former Middleton 

Grange student Sam Lees 

were also named in the under-19 

tournament team. Lees was Canterbury’s 

stand-out performer 

in their 73-82 loss to Auckland 

Counties-Manukau in the grand 

final. He had 27 points, seven 

rebounds, seven steals and six 

assists. 

“Sam Lees was outstanding the 

whole tournament. He hustled 

for loose balls, getting offensive 

rebounds and taking the ball to 

the hoop,” said Isitt. 

RISING HIGH: Toby Gillooly chases down an Otago player during 

Canterbury’s 94-46 semi-final win. 

Canterbury also had two representatives 

named in the under-15 

tournament team. 

Sila Morris had an outstanding 

tournament, helping her team to 

a fourth place finish in the girls’ 

under-15 tournament. 

“She was one of our top scorers, 

regularly scoring over 20 

points a game. She was one of 

our captains and led the team 

well,” said under-15 girls’ coach 

Anita Peckham. 

Cashmere High School’s 

Okirano Tilaia was named in the 

under-15 tournament team. 

Tilaia was the stand-out 

performer for the Canterbury 

A team that finished 5th at the 

tournament in Wellington. 

The under-15 A boys’ team 

were unlucky to not finish higher 

than 5th. Their only loss in the 

tournament was to eventual 

champion’s Wellington in the 

quarter-finals. 

CHASING CHRISTS: Christchurch BHS demolished Rangiora 

High School 83-13. 

Boys’ High push for top 

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ 

High School has continued 

their push for top spot in the 

UC Championship with a 

commanding 83-13 win over 

Rangiora High School on 

Saturday. 

With two rounds remaining 

Christchurch BHS are in second, 

two points behind competition 

leader’s Christ’s College. 

Burnside High School are one 

of eight teams in the hunt for the 

final two top four play-off spots. 

Burnside’s chances of a finals 

appearance were dealt a massive 

blow on Saturday, falling to 

Marlborough Boys’ College 17- 

20. With just one game and a bye 

remaining Burnside will have to 

beat St Bede’s College convincingly 

this weekend and hope 

other results go their way. 

St Bede’s kept their play-off 

hopes alive with a 22-12 win 

over rivals St Thomas.

New Hair Salon 

For Halswell 

A new hair salon, The Hair Lounge is soon to open in Longhurst. 

Owner operator, Jenny Little is excited 

about her newest salon, a sister to Root 

57 in Hornby and the Cutting Room in 

Leeston. 

Alanna, Cheryl, and Krystal will assist 

Jenny in offering a professional hair service 

for the diverse population of Halswell. 

This will include: cutting, colouring (plus 

fashion colours), formal hair-up styling 

for weddings and proms, photographic 

work, barbering, and even perms and body 

waving. 

Value for money hair care for adults 

and children will be offered, with longer 

hours for those who work and as an L’Oréal 

professional salon they will use and sell 

L’Oréal products. 

“L’Oréal which launched its first hair 

colour in 1909 has been a world leader of 

sophisticated hair colouring ever since. 

They’re always inventing new products 

that sustain and maintain hair condition, 

bringing out new colours, providing inhouse 

training, and supporting salons with 

technical advice,” explains Jenny. “They 

assist the industry and are strongly involved 

with New Zealand Fashion Week, styling the 

models’ hair.” 

Jenny’s salons can access the L’Oréal 

collective knowledge on hair issues such as 

problems with home colouring to determine 

suitable remedial action that will avoid 

permanent damage to hair fibres. L’Oréal 

products are suitable for sun damaged 

or faded hair with a new Pro Fiber hair 

programme that repairs the structure of 

damaged hair, soon to be released. 

In the salon, Jenny and the team advise 

clients on hair maintenance and recommend 

suitable hair products. Whether using the 

salon’s services, or calling in for product, 

they will listen and confidentially consult on 

the best products to use at home.

Video store moves 

to smart new premises... 

just along the road 

The enTerTainmenT landscape may 

have changed markedly over the last two 

to three years with the growth of online 

offerings, but there is still a place in the 

market for personal service – the kind you 

get in your local video store, believes Darren, 

co-owner of United Video in Blenheim road. 

The business has recently moved from 

227 Blenheim road to new premises just 

along the road at 237 Blenheim road, and 

the customers are very thankful it is still 

continuing, Darren says. 

While he describes the move as “difficult” 

due to the lack of lighting for the first few 

days, he appreciates the patience customers 

showed during that time, and is thrilled with 

his new premises. The store may be smaller, 

with 40 per cent less rack space, but there is 

still the same number of titles available. There 

is still also a large gaming section with games 

for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. 

Darren and his three business partners 

established the United Video outlet at 227 

Blenheim road in October 2005, with the 

business taking about two years to gain 

a foothold in the area. at that time there 

were three other video hire outlets in the 

same general vicinity, but they have all since 

closed. 

United Video has stayed in business 

because they offer a huge range of products 

that people can’t get from downloading 

or streaming, Darren says. These include 

smaller releases, art house movies, classics, 

film festival movies – titles that many film 

buffs prefer over mainstream movies, and TV 

series, which United Video also provides. 

he also says downloading or streaming 

content to watch on your computer doesn’t 

present the opportunity to enjoy the 

interaction, personal service and discussions 

that you can have with the friendly team at 

the video store. 

it is free to become a member at United 

Video in Blenheim road – to join all you 

need is iD and proof of your residential 

address. membership offers many benefits, 

such as special deals including any six 

movies, new releases included, for $20. 

They have a huge selection of family and 

children’s movies, and they pride themselves 

on stocking all new Zealand movies released. 

if a title you want is out on loan you can 

reserve it in store, or by phoning 341 2080. 

United Video 237 Blenheim road is in 

the newly painted blue building between 

Warehouse Stationery and Carpet Court, 

and there is plenty more happening in the 

next couple of weeks, such as lighting for 

the off-street parking area and new signage. 

Opening hours are Sunday to Thursday, 

10am-9pm, Friday and Saturday, 

10am-10pm.

Book now to have 

new dentures 

for Christmas 

While it may seem too early to start 

thinking about Christmas, anyone looking 

at getting new dentures fitted before the 

holiday season starts needs to book in 

now, says Ryan Carlton of Dentures Plus 

in innes Road. 

Appointments are filling up over the 

next few weeks, and as the process takes 

several appointments over a few months 

to complete, people are advised to get in 

touch as soon as possible to ensure their 

dentures are settled in by Christmas, Ryan 

advises. 

Patients can approach Dentures Plus 

directly, who will either recommend a 

dentist for teeth extraction or contact 

the patient’s own dentist. The dentures 

are made up before the dentist extracts 

the teeth, as this helps the mouth heal 

faster. The professional approach taken by 

Ryan and his staff ensures that the whole 

process of having dentures fitted goes as 

smoothly as possible. 

Ryan also advises that people with 

existing dentures should have them 

checked every two to three years to make 

sure they are not starting to wear, which 

could cause discomfort in the future. This 

may not be noticeable to the wearer, Ryan 

says, but a free, no-obligation check-up 

will determine if the dentures need some 

attention, or even replacing. 

The team at Dentures Plus specialise 

in all aspects of denture work – from 

making and fitting for first-time wearers, 

relining, which is done after the first few 

months to make sure the new dentures 

are fitting correctly, through to providing 

dentures that clip on to implants, and full 

replacement dentures. 

They provide full follow-up care to 

patients and also supply a range of 

products for denture care. These include 

denture cleaners, brushes and denture 

baths for soaking the dentures. Ryan 

recommends Caldent denture cleaner, as 

it is non-abrasive and effectively removes 

stains, calculus and plaque. 

Dentures Plus, 396 innes Road, is 

open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm 

and Friday 8am-2pm. to make an 

appointment, phone 385 5517. 

Ryan also advises that 

people with existing 

dentures should have 

them checked every 

two to three years sure 

they are not starting 

to wear, which could 

cause discomfort 

in the future.

PHIL'S NEW ALBUM 

IS NEARLY HERE! 

FOLLOWING on from his debut release, Stone & Wood, 

Phil Doublet is set to release his second album, Endless 

Highway. 

"I can't tell you how exciting this is," exclaims Phil. "The new 

album is nearly here, and the preparations for the album 

launch marking its official release are underway." 

Well recognised in country music circles both here and 

overseas, Phil is an accomplished guitarist-vocalist who has 

been developing his skills for almost 3 decades in concert, 

studio and "just jamming around at home". 

He has claimed many music awards over the years with his 

most recent being Male Artist of the Year 2014 at the National 

Country Music Awards. 

A strong ambassador for original music, Phil is front man 

for the regular local event, 'Songwriters in the Round'. Taking 

place towards the end of each month at Alvarado's on Stevens 

St, each round showcases three songwriters with acoustic 

interpretations of their music. 

Phil launches his new album Endless Highway at Kaiapoi 

High School on Saturday 27th August 

along with special guests The 

Ranchsliders, Dani Rigby, and Lana 

Doublet. 

Tickets are available now exclusively 

at Music Works, South City, Colombo
