FED-UP: Residents Mary-Ann<br />
Belcher and Natasha McLean.<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
FED-UP RESIDENTS living near a<br />
problematic alleyway in Hei Hei may<br />
at last get their wish to have it closed<br />
down.<br />
A proposal by the city council is out<br />
for public consultation on the closure<br />
of the alleyway that runs between<br />
Aurora St and Buchanans Rd.<br />
The public’s views will help the<br />
Riccarton-Wigram Community Board<br />
decide whether to progress with formal<br />
access-way closure procedures.<br />
In October a petition was signed by<br />
nearly 40 residents to close the alleyway<br />
down and presented to the community<br />
board.<br />
The petition addressed the issue of<br />
criminal activity residents had been<br />
dealing with.<br />
Residents wanted the alleyway<br />
owned by the city council in October<br />
to be shut down after enduring loud<br />
parties and fighting from Thursday to<br />
Sunday most weeks.<br />
They were left to clean up used<br />
needles, glass, dog faeces and blood.<br />
Resident Mary-Ann Belcher said<br />
it had taken the city council a long<br />
time to get round to having the public<br />
consultation.<br />
She said recently there had been the<br />
same issues of drunk people walking<br />
down the alleyway.<br />
Community board deputy chairwoman<br />
Helen Broughton said it is<br />
really important people do comment<br />
on the consultation.<br />
“As long as the community wants<br />
it closed it can be closed. But if we<br />
get a divided community it makes it<br />
more difficult. It does depend on the<br />
response that comes back,” she said.<br />
The decision will be made by the<br />
community board in the following<br />
months after the consultation had<br />
closed.<br />
Ms Belcher and another resident<br />
Natasha McLean are currently looking<br />
at purchasing the land after the alleyway<br />
has closed.<br />
The consultation process closes on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 19. To have your say go to<br />

Hornby Primary designs revealed<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ashion<br />
THE MINISTRY of Education<br />
has revealed the new concept<br />
designs for Hornby Primary<br />
School as part of its $3.7 million<br />
redevelopment.<br />
The first stage of the<br />
redevelopment will include<br />
construction of a new<br />
administration space, library,<br />
spaces for 200 pupils and a<br />
multi-purpose space.<br />
Gardening<br />
The multi-purpose space will<br />
be available for use as a gymnasium,<br />
hall and other learning<br />
activities.<br />
The new teaching and administration<br />
block will be built<br />
on the school’s current netball<br />
courts and will be adjacent to<br />
the swimming pool.<br />
otoring<br />
Ministry of Education head<br />
of infrastructure service Jerome<br />
Sheppard said work is planned<br />
to begin next month and tendering<br />
is currently out for the main<br />
contractors.<br />
He said the work will be carried<br />
out at the same time as the<br />
adjacent Hornby High School,<br />
with both schools scheduled to<br />
asty Bites<br />
be completed in 2019.<br />
Hornby High is to be completely<br />
rebuilt with construction<br />
expected to begin in January<br />
and cost about $31 million.<br />
UPDATED: The new concept design for Hornby Primary School released by the Ministry of<br />
Education. The design shows the administration area, library and multi-purpose space. <br />
Hornby Primary<br />
principal Gary Roberts<br />
(right) said the school is<br />
very excited about the<br />
redevelopment.<br />
“To be fair we didn’t<br />
have as much damage<br />
and destruction as<br />
schools on the eastern side of<br />
town.<br />
“We were certainly fortunate.<br />
But the school is ageing. We have<br />
issues around lighting, acoustics<br />
and heating so we are looking<br />
forward to our rebuild and redevelopment,”<br />
he said.<br />
Along with the redevelopment<br />
getting under way, the new early<br />
childhood Pasifika centre will be<br />
opening next month in the<br />
school’s old car park.<br />
Mr Roberts said when<br />
everything is finished<br />
the teaching spaces and<br />
administration block will<br />
be in a horse-shoe shape<br />
connecting the school.<br />
Stage one is expected to be<br />
completed in the middle of 2017.<br />
The next stage of the process<br />
will be relocating the year 7 and<br />
8 teaching blocks from Hornby<br />
High to the primary school.<br />
Mr Roberts said when Branston<br />
Intermediate School closed<br />
at the end of 2013, year 7 and 8<br />
students were moved into movable<br />
classrooms at Hornby High.<br />
“They are going to be passed<br />
onto us. They are between 18<br />
months and two years old, so<br />
relatively new,” he said.<br />
The Christchurch Schools<br />
Rebuild programme is investing<br />
$1.137 billion to refurbish,<br />
rebuild and repair 115 schools in<br />
the city.<br />

NOTICE BOARD<br />
A community notice board<br />
will be placed in Harrington<br />

Fashion<br />
<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
LAST WEEK I mentioned<br />
heading to a fire investigation<br />
about the time I was writing the<br />
column. That incident turned out<br />
to be the fatal fire that occurred<br />
Gardening<br />
Woolston and involved several<br />
days on the scene for investigators.<br />
While inquiries continue, I can<br />
say that any situation in which<br />
people are living where flame is<br />
involved in any cooking, heating<br />
or lighting makes for a heightened<br />
level of risk from fire.<br />
I regularly report the instances<br />
of cooking or kitchen fires here. A<br />
Motoring<br />
call just before 6am last Saturday<br />
to a house in North New Brighton<br />
seemed a little early in the day. It<br />
turned out to be a baby’s bottle<br />
left sterilising in a pot on the stove<br />
GUTTED: The<br />
building in<br />
Woolston was<br />
left completely<br />
destroyed by<br />
the fire that<br />
ripped through<br />
the property.<br />
PHOTO:<br />
GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Winter weather takes<br />
its toll on roads<br />
until the water boiled away and<br />
the plastic bottle started to burn.<br />
I’ve got to admit to sympathy<br />
for the poor mum or dad with<br />
memories from way, way back of<br />
the zombie-like state that months<br />
of broken sleep brings on. But<br />
it appears a smoke alarm that<br />
should have operated didn’t have a<br />
battery. Which could have made a<br />
bad situation tragic!<br />
Winter weather has had an effect<br />
on fire calls in the city. Crews<br />
attended 18 car crashes this week.<br />
They also went to 20 ambulance<br />
code purple assistance calls, of<br />
which eight involved fatalities.<br />
Cold, wet weather seems to be<br />
one of the influences. It means<br />
we should be extra careful driving<br />
just now and perhaps be a<br />
little more regular in our visits to<br />
elderly parents. Just in case!<br />
New voice for residents<br />
Newly<br />
appointed<br />
Riccarton<br />
Bush-<br />
Kilmarnock<br />
Residents’<br />
Association<br />
chairman<br />
Tony Simons writes about<br />
the challenges facing the<br />
area<br />
I’ve only recently been elected<br />
as chairman, but already there’s<br />
plenty to do. The Riccarton<br />
Bush-Kilmarnock Residents’<br />
Association represents many of<br />
those living close to Westfield<br />
mall – the oldest and one of the<br />
biggest shopping malls in the<br />
city.<br />
That presents its challenges,<br />
but we also sit next to<br />
Riccarton Bush, arguably<br />
the most historically and<br />
environmentally significant<br />
area in the city. We cover<br />
north of Riccarton Rd between<br />
Riccarton Bush and the railway<br />
line and up to Matai St West.<br />
Over the years, the<br />
association has been involved<br />
with amenity preservation,<br />
beautification, as well<br />
as resisting commercial<br />
encroachment.<br />
We have participated in<br />
consultations on the university<br />
cycleway project and the bus<br />
lounges on Riccarton Rd.<br />
The biggest issue recently<br />
was the proposed new<br />
district plan that would have<br />
allowed intensive multi-storey<br />
residential development. We<br />
fought that one hard. More<br />
than 100 residents turned up to<br />
oppose the planners’ proposals<br />
and, ignoring some who said<br />
we wouldn’t win, we submitted<br />
to the independent hearings<br />
panel and were listened to. As a<br />
result, our residential zoning is<br />
retained, and with it, much of<br />
the value that is core to what we<br />
are trying to preserve.<br />
Another perennial issue is<br />
parking. One part of our area is<br />
limited time parking and this<br />
has (thankfully) prevented the<br />
horrors of all-day, jam-packed<br />
parking. It gives space for<br />
parking by visitors to the area<br />
for events such as the farmers’<br />
market, plays, gatherings, as<br />
well as providing short-term<br />
parking for shoppers and<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
residents’ family and friends.<br />
Currently, the city council<br />
is planning to extend these<br />
parking restrictions to parts<br />
of Kilmarnock, Harakeke and<br />
Jane Deans Cl. And, of course,<br />
next on the agenda will be a full<br />
city council review of parking<br />
across the city in 2017.<br />
Like most residents in the<br />
city, we are concerned about<br />
the apparent increase in<br />
mindless vandalism, graffiti<br />
and hooliganism. It seemed to<br />
get worse after the earthquakes<br />
and, while not as bad as some<br />
areas of the city, we have<br />
worked with the community<br />
board, police and Canterbury<br />
University on this issue. The<br />
area is under a liquor ban<br />
but also of some concern is<br />
the fact that more bars, with<br />
early morning closing, may be<br />
opening in the Westfield Mall<br />
precinct. This in spite of the city<br />
council stating its intention in<br />
future to cut back on opening<br />
hours for bars in suburban<br />
areas.<br />
So we’ve got plenty on. And,<br />
of course, the more people who<br />
join groups like ours, the louder<br />
the community voice. Residents<br />
in our area are encouraged to<br />
join the association simply by<br />

Outdoor pantries possible<br />
ashion<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
MINI OUTDOOR pantries<br />
could start popping up around<br />
the western area of the city as<br />
part of an initiative to improve<br />
local community parks.<br />
The idea was proposed by<br />
deputy mayor Vicki Buck at the<br />
Riccarton-Wigram Community<br />
Board meeting as a way of connecting<br />
the community last<br />
Gardening<br />
week.<br />
Along with the outdoor<br />
pantry, a “library fridge” and an<br />
outdoor table to share vegetables<br />
in local parks were some of the<br />
other ideas she suggested.<br />
The concept was inspired by<br />
a cupboard of books open to<br />
the public on Barbadoes St and<br />
otoring<br />
around the world.<br />
Cr Buck said the community<br />
board had been looking at a<br />
range of ideas after a reserve on<br />
the corner of Dilworth St and<br />
Picton Ave was identified as a<br />
park needing a clean-up.<br />
She said a community group<br />
would need to maintain the<br />
facilities and is planning to run a<br />
asty Bites<br />
Facebook status to find out who<br />

INNOVATIVE: An outdoor pantry like this one in the United<br />
States, has been one of the ideas suggested by deputy<br />
mayor Vicki Buck as a way of improving parks in the<br />

response fund.<br />
Ms Buck said the food pantries<br />
in particular would be low-key<br />
and food that goes off quickly<br />
could not be placed in the outdoor<br />
cupboards.<br />
But community board chairman<br />
Mike Mora said while he<br />
doesn’t want to “poo-poo” Cr<br />
Buck’s idea, the food pantry and<br />
library fridge was not as easy as<br />
it sounds.<br />
He said the neighbourhood<br />
box for people to put their<br />
excess produce set up by Oasis<br />
Baptist Church in Hei Hei after<br />
the earthquakes had to be shut<br />
down.<br />
“There were mattresses, wheels,<br />
prams and God knows what arrived<br />
in there,” Mr Mora said.<br />
He said the initiative had to be<br />
shut down because it was turned<br />
into a dumping ground and it<br />
cost the church a fortune to have<br />
the rubbish removed.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board will however, look into the<br />
proposals.<br />
The ideas were endorsed by<br />
Riccarton West Neighbourhood<br />
Group’s Sheree Wharewhiti.<br />
She said the outdoor food<br />
pantry was a great idea but there<br />
would need to be non-perishable<br />
items like canned food.<br />
“The nice thing about trying<br />
some of these things is really the<br />
cost of trying them is close to<br />
nothing. If they work fantastic,<br />
if they don’t, nothing ventured,<br />
nothing gained,” Cr Buck said.<br />
The initiative has been forwarded<br />
on to the city council.<br />
The city council’s role in<br />
strengthening communities<br />
Marie Byrne will report back<br />
to the community board in the<br />
upcoming months.<br />

Track and field athlete to make<br />
Christchurch’s William Stedman, 16, will debut at the<br />
Rio de Janeiro Paralympics in September. He spoke to<br />
reporter Caitlin Miles about how he hasn’t let cerebral<br />
palsy stop him from competing and what inspired him to<br />
become a paralympic athlete<br />
Congratulations on getting a<br />
grant from Inspire Foundation.<br />
Thank you. Yeah, it’s really<br />
cool, it’ll help me out a lot to get<br />
things I need before heading to<br />
Rio. I’m really thankful that they<br />
gave me the money. They’re a<br />
great foundation.<br />
How much money did<br />
you receive? What will it go<br />
towards?<br />
I got $1000, so that will go<br />
towards paying for orthotics<br />
and shoes and that kind of stuff.<br />
The New Zealand Paralympics<br />
covers our entry costs and stuff,<br />
which is a big relief because it’s<br />
not cheap. The money I got from<br />
the foundation can be focused on<br />
getting me the things I need for<br />
it, not just pay to compete.<br />
Congratulations too on<br />
heading to Rio – are you<br />
excited?<br />
I fly out tomorrow so I’m pretty<br />
excited. I’ve been doing a lot<br />
of training and stuff so it’s still<br />
pretty surreal. The other people<br />
I’ve met in the paralympic team<br />
are really great so it’s going to be<br />
really cool.<br />
How long have you been<br />
training for?<br />
I kind of never stop training. It<br />
gets ramped up and more intense<br />
closer to the time, but I’m always<br />
training. When I went to the<br />
world champs in Doha, I didn’t<br />
know I was going until about two<br />
weeks before. I didn’t think I had<br />
got in so, when I found out I had,<br />
there was a bit more pressure to<br />
train harder. I had been training<br />
constantly anyway, but that<br />
uncertainty was annoying. It was<br />
such a big event and competition<br />
to be a part of so the idea of<br />
missing out was hard, so it was<br />
even better when I found out I<br />
had got in.<br />
How did you fund that? It<br />
must have been hard to get<br />
all the money and everything<br />
together in a short amount of<br />
time?<br />
Well my parents were really<br />
good about it. They helped<br />
me out big time with getting<br />
everything together in not much<br />
time. I guess it was such a big<br />
DRIVE: William spends more than 10 hours a week training for<br />
events and competitions, such as the paralympics.<br />
thing for me and a really great<br />
opportunity they didn’t want me<br />
to miss out either.<br />
Is this your first year going to<br />
the paralympics?<br />
Yeah, it is. It’s really exciting to<br />
be going over.<br />
What classifies you as a<br />
paralympian?<br />
I have cerebral palsy so the left<br />
side of my body is a bit slower<br />
and doesn’t react as quickly. I<br />
was classed as T28, which was bit<br />
too hard for me to compete in. I<br />
am now classed at T36 and that<br />
made a big change to how I can<br />
compete. It’s much easier for<br />
me and I compete better and<br />
a little easier, which gives me<br />
a good chance to compete<br />
professionally and go to worlds<br />
and stuff.<br />
Why did you decide to<br />
become an athlete?<br />
I have always been pretty<br />
active. I enjoy sport. It wasn’t<br />
until I saw the 2012 London<br />
Paralympics and I thought, ‘I can<br />
do that, why can’t I do that?’ So<br />
I decided to get serious about it<br />
and see what I can do.<br />
So you’ve been competing for<br />
four years?<br />
No, not at first. I wanted to<br />
get into running and see what it<br />
was like. I joined the Port Hills<br />
Athletics Club and I started<br />
long distance running with the<br />
club. It wasn’t until 2014 when<br />
I started training properly for<br />
competitions.<br />
What events do you compete<br />
in?<br />
I do the 400m, 800m running<br />
events and the long jump.<br />

WESTERN NEWS Tuesday <strong>August</strong> 9 <strong>2016</strong> 7<br />
paralympic debut at Rio games<br />
JUMPER: William will compete in the long jump, as well as the 400m and 800m events, at Rio.<br />
What events do you compete<br />
in?<br />
I do the 400m, 800m running<br />
events and the long jump.<br />
How often do you train and<br />
what’s involved?<br />
I train roughly seven times a<br />
week. That’s about 10-11 hours.<br />
It might not sound like much<br />
but it’s pretty high intensity stuff.<br />
I do a lot of different exercises<br />
over the week. I’ll do short<br />
distance running, long distance,<br />
endurance stuff, running up<br />
and down stairs and hills, gym<br />
sessions and all of that kind of<br />
stuff. I usually get two days off<br />
a week. Sometimes I’ll train on<br />
Sundays, though.<br />
How does your body cope<br />
with that? Do your muscles<br />
struggle?<br />
No my muscles handle it pretty<br />
well, but my left side is just<br />
slower and I have less muscle<br />
control over it so it doesn’t move<br />
as well. I started off running long<br />
distances and then I switched<br />
to shorter distances. I think it’s<br />
because my body can handle<br />
shorter distances better. I’m more<br />
of a middle distance runner now.<br />
As I get older, I might go back to<br />
doing longer distances.<br />
How do you balance school<br />
and training? Is it your first<br />
year of exams?<br />
Yeah, I’m doing NCEA level 1<br />
this year, so there is a bit going<br />
on. My school is really supportive<br />
of my sport so that’s a big help.<br />
They understand there is a lot<br />
going on so I balance it. I’ve got<br />
to stay really motivated to be able<br />
to do both.<br />
Do you ever worry about<br />
cerebral palsy stopping you<br />
from running and competing?<br />
I never really think about it<br />
to be honest. I make sure I look<br />
after myself. It’s important to me<br />
to compete and be a good athlete,<br />
but I also know to look after<br />
myself. I’m not too worried about<br />
having to stop. Not at this stage<br />
anyway. I have had a couple of<br />
injuries but nothing too serious.<br />
I had a bone stress injury in my<br />
foot when I competed, which<br />
was painful, but nothing that has<br />
made me think about stopping.<br />
Has anyone ever told you<br />
that you shouldn’t be an athlete<br />
because of cerebral palsy?<br />
No. I’m really lucky. I’ve had so<br />
much support from my parents<br />
and my friends and my school.<br />
My coach, George Edwards, is<br />
really great, too. I also think<br />
paralympics are getting more<br />
support and recognition, which<br />
is really cool. It’s not so hidden<br />
anymore. There is a lot more<br />
support for us athletes, which I<br />
think is a really great thing to see.<br />
Do you see yourself as a role<br />
model for other people with<br />
disabilities?<br />
I wouldn’t call myself a role<br />
model. Not at the moment<br />
anyway. I’d like to be a role model<br />
in the future, though. I think it’s<br />
just really cool that paralympics<br />
is becoming a bigger event and<br />
getting more people to celebrate<br />
us. It gets more coverage in the<br />
media, more people recognise us<br />
as athletes that have disabilities<br />
and support us. Not just here, but<br />
around the world, which is really<br />
cool. It’s a big step forward.<br />

Students showcase talent;<br />
raise funds for production<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
NATIONAL Academy of<br />
Singing and Dramatic Art<br />
students took to the stage<br />
recently in a bid to showcase<br />
their talent and fundraise for<br />
their next production.<br />
The third-year students raised<br />
money for the special effects and<br />
costumes for their upcoming<br />
musical Ragtime, written by<br />
American writers Stephen<br />
Flaherty, Terrence McNally and<br />
Lynn Ahrens. It will open next<br />
month.<br />
They took the opportunity<br />
to preview a snippet of the<br />
upcoming production.<br />
Our Children, a song from the<br />
musical, was previewed at the<br />
concert.<br />
The production is<br />
based on the book by E.L<br />
Doctorow and covers three<br />
families pursuing the American<br />
dream.<br />
Erin Wells, of Avonhead, was<br />
one of the performers in the<br />
show and will take part in the<br />
production of the Ragtime next<br />
month.<br />
A variety of contemporary<br />
and musical theatre was<br />
performed at the concert, along<br />
with solos, duets, contemporary<br />
dance, tap dance, cultural and<br />
full ensemble numbers.<br />
Performances included songs<br />
from the musicals Wicked, The<br />
Full Monty and Once.<br />
Third year student Sophie<br />
Petersen said the preview<br />
concert was student-led and<br />
provided a fantastic opportunity<br />
to showcase performers from the<br />
academy.<br />
“To come together as students<br />

place in the rising star category<br />
at the REINZ National Auction<br />
Championships.<br />
The competition was held in<br />
Auckland last month.<br />
“It was an awesome thing to<br />
get under the belt after a lot of<br />
months worth of training,” he<br />
said.<br />
In the six months leading up<br />
to the SPORTS<br />
national competition Mr<br />
Steele was mentored by professional<br />
auctioneers Phil and Mark<br />
McGoldrick.<br />
“I’ve been really lucky here<br />
in the city. Harcourts produce<br />
pretty much the best auctioneers<br />
in the world. I was lucky to be<br />
mentored by a couple of guys<br />
who are absolute legends.”<br />
The competition required<br />
contestants to perform a mock<br />
auction in front of a crowd<br />
including three to seven judges<br />
with a bidding script.<br />
“They ask you tough questions<br />
to throw you off . . . a lot of the<br />
time it is legal questions,” he<br />
said.<br />
Contestants were judged on<br />
factors including personal ability,<br />

TRIUMPH: Youth Guarantee most improved award winner<br />
Angelo Scott with his cookery tutor Bill Bryce. <br />
Autistic student<br />
excels in cookery<br />
WHEN ANGELO Scott won<br />
a most improved award at the<br />
recent Ara Youth Guarantee<br />
Awards, it was an emotional<br />
moment for his family.<br />
Training for Angelo, who<br />
is autistic, at the Ara Institute<br />
of Canterbury has been a big<br />
journey for both him and his<br />
family.<br />
“We weren’t expecting an<br />
award. It’s the first time in his<br />
life he has won anything. It was a<br />
big moment for us as well. I burst<br />
out crying,” his father Peter Scott<br />
said.<br />
The lady next to me asked why<br />
I was crying and I said, ‘that’s my<br />
son’, then she started crying and<br />
my wife was also crying”.<br />
After secondary school, the<br />
Wigram resident joined a supported<br />
learning programme at<br />
Ara called Workskills.<br />
The programme is designed<br />
especially for students with intellectual<br />
disabilities.<br />
After joining Workskills,<br />
and now Christchurch.<br />
“I’ve taken every opportunity<br />
thrown my way and love the<br />
different challenges I am faced<br />
with each day,” she said.<br />
The Countdown national<br />
store manager of the year will<br />
be announced at an awards<br />
dinner in Auckland on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 29.<br />
Angelo transitioned into the<br />
Youth Guarantee programme.<br />
It is a supported learning<br />
stream for 15 to 19-year-olds and<br />
is the only level two supported<br />
learning programme in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Youth Guarantee tutor Bill<br />
Bryce said Angelo’s improvement<br />
in his cookery class had been<br />
“exceptional”.<br />
“When Angelo first arrived, for<br />
the first few days I was worried<br />
. . . at the start he would not<br />
try things because of lack of<br />
confidence and would expect<br />
help but not ask for it,” he said.<br />
But Mr Bruce said Angelo is<br />
now excelling in his cookery.<br />
“He will now attempt tasks<br />
and will ask for help directly if he<br />
needs it. He always tries hard,”<br />
Mr Bryce said.<br />
Angelo’s parents said he is now<br />
cooking a lot more at home too.<br />
When he was asked if he liked<br />
his cooking class, he said it was<br />
“really cool”.<br />

Industry expert invites<br />
Villa student back to US<br />
A VILLA Maria College student<br />
has been asked to return to the<br />
United States next year after<br />
achieving high results at a world<br />
performing arts competition last<br />
month.<br />
Year 13 student Sophie<br />
Holt was selected to represent<br />
New Zealand at the World<br />
Championships of Performing<br />
Arts last month in Long Beach,<br />
California.<br />
She won six awards at the<br />
competition including an industry<br />
medal, three “silver awards”<br />
for the contemporary, country<br />
and pop categories for 18 to<br />
24-year-olds.<br />
Sophie also won a gold award<br />
for the original works category<br />
and an overall gold award for 16<br />
to 24-year-olds.<br />
Now she has been invited to<br />
return to the US next year to<br />
perform her original songs by<br />
music industry professional<br />
Jeffrey Weber.<br />
“I never signed a contract but<br />
I’m hopefully heading back next<br />
year to record my songs with<br />
him,” Sophie said.<br />
Mr Weber has been in the<br />
American music industry for<br />
more than 30 years and has<br />
worked with American singer<br />
and actress Ariana Grande’s<br />
musical director.<br />
He was the founder of<br />
American television network<br />
Studio M and has produced<br />
more than 180 CDs.<br />
Sophie is a singer-songwriter<br />
and one of 21 New Zealanders<br />
who was selected to travel to the<br />
US to compete.<br />
The competition started with<br />
a boot camp which consisted of<br />
workshops ran by professionals<br />
from the New York Film<br />
Academy.<br />
Sophie said the boot camp was<br />
beneficial and gave an insight<br />
into how the industry works.<br />
The competition was set up in<br />
three rounds.<br />
After each round, judges who<br />
were interested in talking with<br />
competitors<br />
about their<br />
talent were<br />
issued “go see<br />
slips”.<br />
Sophie<br />
received three<br />
of the slips.<br />
This provided<br />
Sophie<br />
the opportunity to<br />
sit down with Mr Weber<br />
and discussed her future<br />
singing career.<br />
“The results of this<br />
trip were more than I’d<br />
ever imagined and I am<br />
honestly so humbled by it<br />
all,” she said.<br />
She said while she is still<br />
exploring music genres she is<br />
writing a lot of piano ballads.<br />
“I focus a lot on my lyrics and<br />
I pretty much write something<br />
every day.”<br />
Students help rebuild city<br />
STUDENTS GOT their hands<br />
dirty last week as part of a<br />
Rebuilding Christchurch class<br />
run by Canterbury University<br />
Associate Professor Billy<br />
O’Steen.<br />
The class of 50 students helped<br />
prepare the new site behind the<br />
Halswell Timber Company for<br />
planting which was recently<br />
obtained by social enterprise<br />
Cultivate Christchurch.<br />
The day was also spent digging<br />
out trenches where willows will<br />
be planted to serve as a windbreak<br />
for the crops.<br />
Cultivate Christchurch is<br />
aimed at getting young people<br />
involved in growing food organically.<br />
It provides young people with<br />
job experience and sells 70 per<br />
cent of produce grown while<br />
giving 30 per cent away.<br />
The social enterprise also picks<br />
up organic waste from restaurants<br />
and turns it into compost.<br />

Semi-final fixtures confirmed<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High<br />
School has qualified for the UC<br />
Championship semi-finals in<br />
second position following a 19-13<br />
victory over Shirley Boys’ High<br />
School.<br />
Saturday’s victory had extra<br />
meaning for Christchurch BHS<br />
after suffering a 17-25 upset at<br />
the hands of Shirley in last year’s<br />
semi-final.<br />
They will now play Nelson<br />
College in this weekend’s semifinal.<br />
The two teams couldn’t be<br />
separated when they met in May,<br />
sharing the points in a six-all<br />
draw.<br />
Christ’s College go into this<br />
weekend’s semi-finals as the top<br />
seed after a 67-19 demolition job<br />
of St Andrew’s.<br />
They will host Shirley Boys’<br />
High School who qualified in<br />
fourth position.<br />
Shirley rugby manager John<br />
Fox knows how tough getting a<br />
result against the competition’s<br />
top side will be.<br />
Meanwhile, it was an agonising<br />
wait for Burnside High<br />
School who had a bye on the<br />
weekend.<br />
They were forced to wait on<br />
Saturday’s results to find out<br />
if they would have a chance to<br />
defend the fifth-place plate title<br />
they won last year.<br />
After both Waimea and Marlborough<br />
won Saturday’s early<br />
games, Burnside were left relying<br />
on St Andrew’s College to come<br />
away from their game against<br />
Christ’s College empty handed.<br />
A bonus point for finishing<br />
within seven points or for scoring<br />
four tries would have been<br />
enough for St Andrew’s to claim<br />
eighth spot.<br />
However, Christ’s 67-19 demolition<br />
job meant that Burnside<br />
snuck into eighth spot, setting up<br />
a semi-final clash with Timaru<br />
Boys’ High School. The two<br />
schools met in Timaru in early<br />
July, where Burnside took home<br />
a narrow 14-12 win.<br />
Round 14 results<br />

BALLERS: Angus McWilliam, Toby Gillooly and Quinn Clinton<br />
are trailing for the New Zealand under-19 team<br />
International basketball<br />
ambitions for young trio<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE TRIO of Canterbury<br />
basketballers hope to book<br />
a spot in the New Zealand<br />
under-19 team ahead of the<br />
World Championship qualifying<br />
tournament in December.<br />
Quinn Clinton, of<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High School,<br />
Toby Gillooly, of Burnside High<br />
School, and Angus McWilliam,<br />
of Middleton Grange, are<br />
attending a training camp in<br />
Auckland today. They aim to<br />
stake their claim for selection in<br />
the under-19 team ahead of the<br />
tournament.<br />
For McWilliam, representing<br />
New Zealand would be a dream<br />
come true.<br />
“That’s something that I’ve<br />
always had in the back of my<br />
mind. It’s been creeping forward<br />
as the years have gone by. Ever<br />
since I started when I was eightyears-old,<br />
I wanted to have New<br />
Zealand across the front of my<br />
chest. To get a trial is something<br />
big so I’m really looking forward<br />
to it,” he said.<br />
All three played for the Mainland<br />
Eagles team that lost 79-92<br />
to the Washington Huskies on<br />
Sunday.<br />
The camp finishes today, and<br />
a team of 12 will be selected for<br />
the under-19 team.<br />

school engages, motivates and inspires<br />
young Cantabrians who are ready for the<br />
challenges of the 21st century, building<br />
on the best of our valued traditions whilst<br />
opening their minds to new ways of<br />
thinking, doing and being.<br />
Cathedral Grammar is a unique<br />
educational environment. Our dedicated,<br />
co-educational Pre-School and Junior<br />
School each provide the ideal foundation<br />
for our young pupils up to Year 3 before<br />
they move up to the Boys’ and Girls’ Prep<br />
Schools.<br />
Here, in Years 4 to 8, our boys and<br />
girls are educated separately, allowing for<br />
dedicated single-sex learning that meets<br />
the needs of each gender, alongside many<br />
opportunities to mix and develop social<br />
skills in a co-educational environment<br />
outside the classroom.<br />
Grammar’s overarching vision – to<br />
help our pupils to become engaged<br />
thinkers, enterprising spirits and<br />
moral citizens – will equip our<br />
students with the knowledge, quality<br />
skills and dispositions to play a<br />
leading role in our ever-changing<br />
world. all of this occurs in a genuinely<br />
happy, caring and vibrant atmosphere<br />
committed to provide outstanding<br />
opportunities for every girl and boy,<br />
and to celebrate their diverse gifts.<br />
You and your child are warmly<br />
invited to visit and meet our pupils<br />
and staff, and to discover for<br />
yourselves the purposeful, warm and<br />
inclusive atmosphere for which we are<br />
known. We welcome you to our next<br />
Open Day on tuesday 23 august, or<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
A game changer in the fight<br />
against Parkinson’s Disease<br />
If you have Parkinson’s disease, you cannot<br />
afford to underestimate the benefits of<br />
exercise. Being sedentary is one of the fastest<br />
ways to see your symptoms get worse. To be<br />
the best you can be, consider a revolutionary<br />
Parkinson’s programme, PD Warrior, run by<br />
Muscle People Physiotherapy.<br />
“Exercise needs to be a front line defence<br />
for people with Parkinson’s disease. PD<br />
Warrior aims to re-wire the brain to allow<br />
everyday movements and activities to be<br />
performed with greater ease. Just like your<br />
muscles benefit from cross- training, your<br />
brain also benefits from being challenged and<br />
surprised.” Melissa McConaghy, co-founder<br />
of PD Warrior and Specialist Neurological<br />
Physiotherapist.<br />
Purposeful movement can combat the loss<br />
of motor control seen in Parkinson’s disease.<br />
PD Warrior combines a high effort, intensive<br />
work-out with a challenging combination<br />
of movements and mental strategy. It is<br />
designed for people with early stage or mild<br />
Parkinson’s disease with the aim of slowing<br />
down the progress of the disease.<br />
“PD Warrior is loads of fun and can get<br />
very loud with plenty of variety to keep<br />
people engaged. you get to connect with<br />
like-minded people who want to fight their<br />
symptoms,” says Laurie Moore, Director of<br />
Muscle People Physiotherapy.<br />
Neil, from Rangiora, has been attending<br />
the PD Warrior programme and says; “The<br />
exaggerated movement keeps the body<br />
moving rather than seizing up”. Neil keeps<br />
up the exercises at home during the week and<br />
says “that’s how you get the most benefit out<br />
of it.” He has been playing more golf and is<br />
able to work a couple of days a week.<br />
Muscle People has helped clients achieve<br />
some significant milestones through PD<br />
Warrior. Those who come to the PD Warrior<br />
circuit style programme at the city clinic each<br />
week report feeling more confident in their<br />
movements and are able to move more freely<br />
and get back into life.<br />
The first step in the PD Warrior<br />
programme is an assessment at Muscle<br />
People Physiotherapy. for more information<br />
or to book your assessment telephone the<br />
friendly team at Muscle People on<br />
360 3606.”<br />
PD Warrior not only re-trains your<br />
brain, it also helps you to get -<br />
• Your life back – get back to doing<br />
the things you love.<br />
• Stronger and healthier, so you feel<br />
better about yourself.<br />
• More comfortable doing several<br />
things at one time.<br />
• Better balance... prevent<br />
dangerous accidents and falls.<br />
• Able to do all the little things that<br />
you have recently abandoned.<br />
Parkinson’s -<br />
• Parkinson’s is a progressive<br />
neurodegenerative condition<br />
which effects the part of the brain<br />
responsible for initiating and coordinating<br />
movement.<br />
• Approximately 1 in 500 people<br />
have the condition.<br />
• Twenty percent of people affected<br />
by Parkinson’s are of working age<br />
(15-64 years).<br />
PD Warrior -<br />
• Uses a unique combination of<br />
physical and cognitive activities to<br />
drive the brain’s natural ability to<br />
re-wire itself.<br />
• PD Warrior retrains the brain<br />
and helps people feel stronger and<br />
fitter.<br />
• Muscle People Physiotherapy run<br />
the PD Warrior each week with a<br />
group of 10 people.<br />
What type of Parkinson’s do you have?<br />
Knowing the answer to this question can slow down your Parkinson’s and<br />
help you to look, move and feel better.<br />
