Chlorination decision 

• By Georgia O’Connor Harding and 

Andrew King 

DRINKING WATER from the 

Avonhead pump station could be 

chlorinated because it is at risk of 

being contaminated. 

The city council will decide on 

Thursday whether it will chlorinate 

looms this week 

drinking water not only at the 

Avonhead pump, but at Farrington 

and Grampian pump stations as well. 

Chlorination is being considered 

because the north-west catchment 

bores have a low grading of D, while 

the rest of the city has a higher B 

grade. 

The city council report said that the 

recent water contamination incident 

in Havelock North has raised concerns 

about water and public health 

risks. 

The city council report has recommended 

that temporary chlorination 

goes ahead until deeper wells are 

commissioned in 2017.

Anger over boy racers 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

TENSIONS ARE ready to 

spill over on a Hornby street 

because boy racers have been 

keeping residents awake. 

Now residents are retaliating 

by throwing stones at vehicles. 

A petition has been signed 

by nearly 100 residents living 

in Oakhampton St, Hornby, 

to stop “dangerous” boy racers 

and speeding trucks by getting 

speed bumps installed. 

It was presented to the Riccarton-Wigram 

Community 

Board last Tuesday and was 

supported with a letter from 

Wigram MP Megan Woods. 

Residents are frustrated by 

the amount vehicles speeding 

through the street, saying it is 

an accident waiting to happen 

and keeping them awake at 

night. 

Resident Vi O’Connor, who 

presented the petition to the 

board, said many were stressed 

and not sleeping at night. 

She said some of the 

residents were so angry, people 

had been throwing rocks at the 

boy racers as they drove past. 

“It is very noisy as well as 

dangerous when people are 

trying to sleep. A lot of them

have got their bedrooms up 

near the road. 

“There are so many kids in 

the street, it is surprising none 

of them have been hurt,” Mrs 

O’Connor said. 

Acting Senior Sergeant Dan 

Harker said he was not aware 

of the issue and residents need 

to call the police at the time of 

the incident. 

He said the police “clearly” 

do not encourage residents 

to throw rocks at cars or take 

matters into their own hands. 

The problems arose after 

speed bumps were installed on 

Brynley St about eight years 

ago, which is directly across 

from Oakhampton St. 

But community board chairman 

Mike Mora said speed 

bumps may not be the best 

solution. 

“It can cause more issues 

and frustrations for residents 

in some cases because the cars 

slow down, bounce and crash 

over some of the speed bumps 

and then accelerate away 

again,” he said.

50s fashion fundraiser draws crowd

A VINTAGE-enthusiast 

orchestrated a fashion show that 

showcased more than a hundred 

vintage outfits last Saturday at 

Halswell School. 

It involved 12 teachers, six parents 

and close to a dozen school 

children. 

Deborah Gill-Smith, a fulltime 

chef who provided the vintage 

outfits from the 50s, 60s and 

70s, had organised seven vintage 

fashion shows in the last four 

years primarily to help people 

raise money. 

By buying vintage outfits or by 

collecting them from her family 

members, she owned over a 

hundred outfits for men, women 

and children, complete with hats, 

handbags and shoes, including 

a wedding dress from the pre- 

World War 2 era. 

“I have a passion for vintage 

clothing,” Ms Gill-Smith said. 

“Most days I wear something 

vintage everywhere I go,” she 

said. 

Ms Gill-Smith said vintage 

clothes, mostly styled in London 

but locally made, were better 

than manufactured goods in 

terms of quality and were “different,” 

giving her a sense of 

individuality. 

FASHIONISTA: Deborah Gill-Smith orchestrated a vintage fashion 

show recently to help Halswell School fundraise to build a new 

playground, fitness circuit and native planting area.

She hoped young people would 

appreciate and treasure clothing 

from their grandparents. 

“It is exposing them to vintage 

as their lives are very modern,” 

she said. 

Halswell School teacher and 

“vintage fashion model” Ange 

Pettersson said everyone had 

fun in the community and it was 

nice to do something different 

for fundraising. 

“Who does not like getting 

dressed up?” 

She said the children realised 

the teachers were “actually 

humans” and it was good for the 

parents to see them in a different 

light, building the connection 

between home and school. 

Vintage fashion show event coordinator 

Carmel Hooper said 

the event helped to supplement 

funds to build a playground, 

a fitness circuit and a native 

planting area. There was no 

playground for the older children 

since the earthquakes destroyed 

their school. The school had been 

seeking to raise $100,000 over 

the past few years.

Pianos 

Inspired by old world craftsmanship and the artistry of Italian design, 

Palatino takes its name from a central hill in Rome where ancient emperors 

built their palaces. Palatino builds pianos based on the pursuit of “Quality 

not Quantity.” With this mission in mind, we have imported the highest 

quality components from around the world. 

Canadian white spruce is imported for soundboards, Roslau strings from 

Germany; beech wood from France for grand piano rims and Renner 

hammers from Germany on the Concert Series pianos. These are all 

components found in some of the most expensive pianos in the world. 

Play one and see for yourself – from design to construction, from the 

studio to the concert hall, Palatino is truly a World Class Piano.

Swimmer ready for transplant games 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

BEN STANBURY, 11, was 

once told he had a one-in-three 

chance of dying. 

Now, after receiving a liver 

transplant last year, the young 

swimmer will be the only child 

organ recipient from New 

Zealand to be compete at the 

Australian Transplant Games 

held in Sydney. 

Ben, of St Albans, will travel 

to Sydney this week to compete 

in swimming, shot-put, a 50m 

sprint and 10-pin bowling. 

At four months old, Ben 

was diagnosed with polycystic 

kidney disease after he was 

rushed to hospital with heart 

failure. 

The disease is a genetic disorder 

where abnormal cysts grow 

in the kidneys. He also 

had severe problems with his 

liver. 

The night of his diagnosis was 

a moment his mother Traci Stanbury 

would never forget after she 

was told he had a one-in-three 

chance in dying. 

“In the end they paralysed 

him, put him on an ambulance 

and he spent the next month 

living up in Starship Hospital,” 

she said. 

Mrs Stanbury said since the 

“traumatic” night, Ben’s heart 

DETERMINED: Eleven-year-old Ben Stanbury will be the only child organ recipient from New 

Zealand to compete at the Australian Transplant Games. 

condition has been sorted but a liver. 

he still had a liver and kidney “All I remember is lying in bed 

condition. 

with just like a giant band-aid 

Last year Ben had a transplant thing over my stomach,” Ben 

operation after he was donated said. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

It was an experience he 

described as “confusing” but 

because he recovered so quickly 

from the operation he was out 

of hospital in about five weeks 

and back into swimming a few 

months later. 

Over the next few years Ben 

will be looking to have a kidney 

transplant with his kidney function 

currently at 40 per cent. 

Mrs Stanbury said he will be 

put on a waiting list of about 

600 people when it gets to 30 per 

cent. 

But for now, Ben is looking 

forward to going over to competing 

in the games as well as visiting 

Featherdale Wildlife Park. 

“For him to be the exact same 

as everyone else in the room and 

to be completely normal, that is 

quite a cool thing for him to do,” 

Mrs Stanbury said. 

Inspired by paralympian Sophie 

Pascoe, who won five medals 

at the Rio Paralympics, Ben 

will be competing in numerous 

events including his favourite 

sport of swimming. 

Ben first became interested 

in swimming at age four and 

leading up to the games he has 

been practising once a week in 

preparation. 

“Never give up because it can 

always be done,” he said. 

“Ben is very proud of the fact 

he is going. He is a very laid-back 

kid by nature just because of 

everything he has been through,” 

Mrs Stanbury said.

WESTERN NEWS 

With the October 8 deadline looming for the local body elections, the 

Western News asked candidates to send in why they should get your vote. 

Elections 16 

The area is covered by four wards - Hornby, Halswell, Riccarton, Fendalton, 

Harewood and Waimairi. A city councillor is elected from each, except from 

Fendalton where city councillor Jamie Gough stands unopposed. Two are 

selected from each ward to be on the community board.

Board 

Just like you I want 

a positive future for our city. 

This is our community and we 

want a strong community board 

that is hardworking, transparent, 

and accountable. I am proud to 

have the opportunity to serve 

the Riccarton Ward. I grew up 

in Riccarton and attended local 

schools. Previously, I worked in 

customer service and hospitality 

both here and overseas. I moved 

back to Christchurch six years 

ago to study and start a family. I 

have a Bachelor of Science degree 

from Lincoln University, where 

I am also on track to complete 

a Master of Science (Ecology) 

degree early next year. I also run 

a successful local window cleaning 

business. My mission is to 

give the people of Riccarton a 

strong voice, working towards 

better traffic, parking, waterways, 

and urban development 

outcomes. I also want to support 

community lead initiatives.

Deputy chairwoman of

and former city councillor, with 

the planning experience to advocate 

effectively for our diverse 

community, facing increased 

pressures from the new city plan. 

I am committed to protecting 

our residential environment and 

giving residents a real voice; 

for example, I prevented apartment

I was born in 

Christchurch and raised in 

Riccarton my whole life. Even 

the bank where I currently 

work full time as a Business 

Banking Manager is also located 

in Riccarton. Having spent all 

my childhood, teenage years 

in the Riccarton area, I have 

grown emotionally attached to 

this place. Being brought up in 

Riccarton has helped me understand 

what is needed for our 

community. The influx of population 

has caused traffic congestion 

and parking problems. The 

issue of increase in crime rates 

and the safety of our residents 

needs to be addressed. My focus 

is on investing in the right areas 

that matter, ensuring to make a 

positive difference.

South-West Leisure Centre. 

As chair of the Council’s 

Multicultural Working Party, 

I lead development of the 

Multicultural Strategy. This is the

Hi there, I am Claire 

Exton, born, bred and still living 

in Hornby. Traffic is a major 

concern to us all, we need to 

find other viable routes for heavy 

transport. Lack of consultation 

from our current board is 

also a concern, we very seldom 

hear what they are doing on our 

behalf, consultation and transparency! 

We also need to get 

council funding to update some 

Sports Facilities, also to get kids 

and young people more involved 

in our clubs. Hornby is ready 

for a change and council need 

to hear our voice! Your vote 

counts! Thankyou

Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community Board 

Our local community should 

have more say in its future. 

There needs be confidence that 

the people elected to represent 

Christchurch have the interests of 

Christchurch at heart. Balancing 

social equity and economic 

development is required so the 

future can be better for everyone. 

We can be inclusive of the new 

and remember our past collectively. 

I have been a small business 

owner locally for ten years, 

am active in charitable fundraising 

both locally and overseas 

where I lived for nine years in 

England and Japan. I volunteer 

with Business Mentors New 

Zealand helping resolve issues 

facing small business owners.” 

Brian Gargiulo: 

Harewood Ward - 


I have lived in the 

Harewood area for 

60 years, owning and 

operating a commercial property 

growing tomatoes and raspberries. 

This operation employed 

up to 50 people of many different 

ethnicities. I am currently 

a company director of produce 

companies in NZ and overseas. 

People are important to me. 

I want to create an environment 

in Harewood and greater 

Christchurch that is conducive 

to a desirable quality of life in all 

aspects of work, travel and recreation. 

I take a common sense 

approach to all my decision making 

and consider how the decisions 

I make affect others. I can 

listen, learn and make decisions 

on your behalf. 

Debbie Mora: 

Halswell Ward - 

community board 

I am the only `local’ 

incumbent candidate 

standing 

for Halswell Ward and I have 

lived here for 30 years. Living 

local and having experience is 

important and I bring this to 

the table. Many of the people 

who I have met in my Halswell 

Ward, including children, have 

all expressed a desire for a safe 

and vibrant community. I will 

continue to advocate for this 

and include the following: Safer 

roads, cheaper CCC pool entry 

prices, Halswell Quarry cafe, 

continue to listen to my community. 

Dr Chrys Horn: 

Halswell Ward - 


Having grown up on 

Halswell I returned 

13 years ago and 

have worked in this 

community and across greater 

Christchurch to support good 

community outcomes on issues 

such as resource management, 

transport and earthquake recovery. 

Initiatives I have driven 

include the Halswell Community 

Project, the Halswell Newsletter, 

the Halswell Community Website 

and the Halswell Market . These 

required good leadership, communication 

with residents, excellent 

teamwork and a capacity to 

strategise and get things done. 

I have a PhD in social science, 

a biophysical science training, 

and a professional background in 

environmental management and 

community resilience.

Waimairi Ward - 


I am passionate 

about empowering 

local communities to 

make decisions for their future. 

As a Baptist pastor, I want to see 

our city council work together for 

the interests of all the people of 

Christchurch. I believe our city’s 

future financial and social security 

is best protected by keeping 

our key income-generating assets 

in council ownership, and by 

ensuring quality, affordable housing 

is available for all. 

Together, we can protect and 

enhance our waterways and 

parks. If elected I’ll advocate 

passionately for the needs of residents 

in Waimairi. 

Raf Manji: 

Waimairi Ward - 


As Chair of Strategy 

and Finance, I have 

helped guide the 

council through a difficult time. 

Our complex financial situation 

has been clarified and stabilized. 

There are still many challenges 

ahead: trying to keep a lid on and 

reduce rates increases, finishing 

the repairs to our roads and footpaths, 

restoring our community 

infrastructure and facilities, and 

devolving more decision making 

to the local level. I will be supporting 

more residential development 

in the central city and that 

the red zone must be restored in 

an ecologically sustainable manner 

in order to make it a longterm 

asset for the city.”

‘Army’ to the rescue 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

THE PLIGHT of children 

rescued from their homes 

by Child, Youth and Family, 

sometimes with nothing but 

the clothes on their back, has 

mobilised an army. 

“Paddy’s Army”, that is – a 

group of about 25 St Patrick’s 

School pupils in Bryndwr who 

have collected almost 150 pairs of 

pyjamas to give to foster children. 

The pyjamas will be included in 

backpacks made up by volunteer 

group Foster Hope Christchurch, 

which also include things like 

toiletries, books and soft toys. 

Co-ordinator Ngarie Worsley 

said the packs were personalised 

for each foster child, to try to make 

them feel loved and valued at a 

rough point in their lives, when 

they had to leave their own homes 

to move in with a foster family. 

“We used to see children come 

with garbage bags full of stuff, 

and if your stuff is in a garbage 

bag you don’t exactly feel so 

great,” she said. 

The St Patrick’s pupils were 

inspired to help by the stories 

of one of their classmates, who 

was a foster child, Paddy’s Army 

member Izzy Gibson said. 

“We thought that we’re so 

PJS: St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School pupils Kate Wield and 

Izzie Gibson with some of the 148 pairs of pyjamas their class 

raised money to buy for foster children. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

lucky to have all the things that 

we have, when some people are 

being taken out of their homes 

in the middle of the night to go 

to a family that they don’t even 

know,” she said. 

They created posters, spoke in assembly 

to inspire their fellow pupils 

to help, and did “a lot of nagging” 

to collect the pyjamas, fellow army 

member Kate Wield said. 

In the past, the pupils have 

organised a blanket collection for 

St Vincent de Paul, and they plan 

to do more to help local charities 

in the future. 

Mrs Worsley said the pupils’ 

effort would make a huge difference 

to Foster Hope, which works 

to put together about 5000 packs 

each year. 

“It just blows my mind and I 

think it’s incredible, because 150 

pairs of pyjamas means that we 

can more than do what we need 

to do this year,” she said. 

She said the charity still needed 

donations of things like toiletries, 

small toys or craft activities.

Chlorination decision 

looms this week 

•From page 1 

Due to the shallowness of the 

bores, they are considered most 

susceptible to microbiological 

contaminants as the ground 

water can be affected by land 

use activities above as surface 

water can seep into the aquifer. 

The areas “specifically 

affected” will be notified, 

particularly “vulnerable 

parties” such as 

dialysis patients. 

Russley, Avonhead 

and Memorial Residents’ 

Association 

chairman Geoff Judge 

(right) said it is the 

first he has heard of 

the chlorination but if 

there is a risk then the 

water has to be chlorinated. 

“It rather concerns me 

because we are used to having 

such lovely water. If it has 

chlorine in it, it would be just 

awful,” Mr Judge said. 

Riccarton-Wigram Community 

Board deputy chairwoman 

Helen Broughton said the 

board was not briefed on the 

chlorination. 

The other options for city 

councillors to consider are; 

upgrade the other wells quicker 

without chlorination, continue 

the projects original timeline 

and include chlorination or do 

nothing. 

Bores at Burnside and Harewood 

could have standby units 

for chlorination. 

Professor for strategic waterway 

management at the Waterway 

Centre Bryan Jenkins 

said the water will 

be safe to drink if 

chlorinated, but with 

a change in taste and 

smell. 

“Provided they use 

appropriate means 

of chlorinating the 

water it will make it 

safer to drink while 

the new bores are 

drilled down to an appropriate 

depth,” he said. 

Chlorination equipment at 

Farrington, Grampian and 

Avonhead pump stations would 

cost $2000 per site with ongoing 

maintenance at $5000 per site.

Fundraiser for Maddie 

Riccarton students’ 

volunteer work 

recognised 

Riccarton High School students (from left): Adam Stedman, 

Jacob Miles, Jordyn Hasselberg, and Muskaan Lal 

recently received their Canterbury University Student Volunteer 

Army UCan programme completion certificates recently. 

The certificates were awarded to them by Student 

Volunteer Army members Daniel Stack and Bonnie Dalton. 

The Student Volunteer Army recently hosted the final 

session of the Canterbury University Student Volunteer 

Army UCan programme for year 10s, where students got 

the chance to brainstorm new project ideas and celebrate 

their volunteering achievements they had completed. 

ABOUT $2,462 has been raised by 

Villa Maria College to support a St 

Margaret’s College student in need 

of a kidney transplant. 

The school held a mufti day last 

Tuesday for 12-year-old Maddie 

Collins, who’s best hope of finding 

a suitable match will require her to 

travel to the United States. The trip 

is expected to cost $350,000. 

Villa Maria College head girl Liv 

Kerr said everyone at the school 

rallied together for the event which 

was cool to see. 

“All the year 13s slaved away the 

night before baking so we could 

have a bake sale...so we could add 

a little bit of money to the pot,” she 

said.

Celebrations at fast-growing Hornby travel outlet 

House of Travel Hornby is 

celebrating its second birthday 

this month, and since its launch 

in 2014, not only has the business 

grown, with staff numbers increasing from 

three to five, it has also collected several 

awards. 

As owner/operator Paula Waldeck 

explains, in its first year of operation, 

House of Travel Hornby was named 

‘Best Performing Small Outlet’ for 2015. 

Plus, at the same awards two of the travel 

consultants received sales awards. 

And this year, Paula, who has been in 

the travel industry since 1996, has been 

nominated as one of three nationwide 

finalists at the TAANZ (Travel Agent 

Association of New Zealand) Awards in 

the category of ‘Retail Manager of the 

Year’. The winner will be announced later 

this month. 

Paula and her “awesome team” of travel 

specialists – Kirsty Stewart, Sarah Davy 

and Christine Gilliver, and travel and sales 

support team member Shaunice Ross, are 

“passionate about all things travel.” 

The travel specialists all have extensive 

experience in the travel industry and have 

travelled widely themselves so they can 

pass on their first-hand experience. They 

each have special areas of the world 

they particularly like, and enjoy nothing 

more than helping their clients plan and 

book trips to many of these exciting and 

fascinating destinations. 

As Paula notes, they enjoy working 

with customers to create the best holiday 

possible.“We encourage clients to bring 

in their ideas, whether from magazines, 

friends or the internet to a consultant and 

from there we develop and enhance ideas 

to book the best- possible trip.” 

Helping people make the most of their 

overseas trips, House of Travel Hornby 

passes on their top tips and ensures they 

get the best value airfare to suit their needs, 

so travellers have extra funds to spend on 

activities, shopping, or whatever they wish 

to do. 

One of the most popular options at 

present, Paula says, is cruising – either 

river or ocean cruising. With many 

wonderful opportunities available to see 

the world this way, increasing numbers of 

clients are booking cruises, she says. 

House of Travel Hornby at 40 Carmen 

Road has parking right outside the door.

I have the dream job! Leading a fabulous 

team of travel experts who love their 

customers and help create dreams into 

reality. My last holiday was South Africa 

and my next one is Fiji, both with my 

family. Top of my list for next year is a 

Caribbean cruise and New York. 

I have a passion for travel! I absolutely 

love being in this job. Helping people 

create their own adventures and getting 

excited with them is my favourite part! 

My last holiday was a six-week holiday 

through the USA, San Fran, Las Vegas, 

New York Mexico and everything inbetween! 

Top of my list for next year is 

discovering a new beach in Asia. 

Travel and exploring the globe is number 

one on my life’s list! I love wildlife and 

water so typically hot and adventurous 

destinations get my tick. My last holiday 

was Europe – a Greek Island Cruise, 

Istanbul and Jerusalem. Top of my list for 

next year – backpacking either Romania 

or India. 

The best part of this job is helping people 

arrange memorable holiday experiences 

– it’s such a privilege be involved. My last 

holiday was Melbourne followed by Las 

Vegas and then Rarotonga. Top of my list 

for next year is Cuba. Followed closely by 

Hawaii and LA. 

I love being surrounded by all things 

travel every day. Helping the girls 

plan their clients’ dream holiday is so 

rewarding, and it’s great to see everyone 

having so much fun in the process. My last 

holiday was Rarotonga and its tropical 

beaches. Top of my list for next year is Fiji 

and Bali.

Major developments scheduled for local high school 

An integral part of the Hornby 

community, Hornby High School, 

which opened in 1975, is itself about 

to undergo significant developments. 

All the present school buildings, apart 

from the auditorium and music school, which 

will have a facelift, are to be demolished 

and replaced with a brand-new complex of 

buildings. Work on the $24-million project 

is due to start in March/April 2017 with 

completion expected in late 2018. 

Principal Robin Sutton reveals the details: 

“The administration building and the library 

will be demolished and replaced with one 

large, 90-metre-long building, which will house 

our specialised teaching areas – the sciences, 

design/technology and the arts. That’s where we 

believe the heart of the school is.” 

“Creativity is at the heart of what we do,” he 

adds. “As technology changes, the ability for 

all of us to be creative human beings is what 

matters.” 

In more physical terms, the heart of the new 

school, the whare, also located in this building, 

will be the focus of the school’s cultural 

activities. 

The school’s new library will incorporate a 

student café, which will be nothing like the 

standard school tuck shop, Mr Sutton says. A 

place where students can take time out between 

classes, it will offer comfortable seating areas 

and a barista station. 

Also part of the development is a space 

comprising three learning hubs, each designed 

to accommodate 200 students and offer 

flexibility for different teaching and learning 

activities. It will allow for additions at a later 

date. 

Covered laneways between the various 

buildings will provide space where students 

can “hang out”. 

Hornby High will also be getting a brandnew 

gymnasium, or more precisely, two 

gymnasiums built as one complex, with a 

basketball court in each building. 

“This is to meet community demand for 

recreational facilities in Hornby,” 

Mr Sutton says. 

Hornby High School is growing, with 

the new buildings initially designed to 

accommodate 800 students, but with the 

Masterplan providing the capacity for 1200- 

1300 students, he says. 

The Ministry of Education’s acting head of 

sector enablement and support, Steve Stuart, 

explains that the new classrooms at Hornby 

High are part of the Christchurch Schools 

Rebuild programme, which is investing 

$1.137b to remodel, rebuild, and repair 115 

schools in the Christchurch region. 

“The programme is repairing earthquake 

damage caused by the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes, fixing weather tightness issues, 

strengthening buildings where required and 

upgrading schools’ teaching spaces,” Mr 

Stuart says. 

“By the end of the programme, more than 

80 per cent of state school teaching spaces in 

greater Christchurch will meet high quality 

standards for lighting, ventilation, heating and 

acoustics, and all will be equipped to support 

the latest digital technology. “We aim to create 

flexible learning spaces that will support each 

school’s vision for raising achievement for 

students. We have spent $2m on eight new 

classrooms for Year 7 and 8 students at Hornby 

High School. Building works are planned 

to take place in three major stages, while 

minimising student disruption and allowing 

the school to stay open throughout.” 

Mr Sutton says the Ministry has been 

“awesome” to work with and all the schools 

around the city involved in the redevelopment 

programme are co-operating with each other.

WESTERN NEWS


Shoppers Share Their Views 

With its fast-growing shopping area and other key developments, Hornby is attracting a wide diversity of people from Hornby 

and further afield. Western News spoke to some of them out and about in the Hornby shopping area to find out their opinions 

on the changes that have been taking place. 

LEFT TO RIGHT Jason Mendoza and Don Don Tanggap, the Bedi family, and Cherie, Josh and Alex Cooper are just a few of the local residents who love shopping at The Hub. 

A Rolleston resident, Pip Muir shops 

regularly in Hornby as it is on her way 

home from work. She thinks the changes 

are good for the area and says it’s good to 

see more shops in The Hub. She is also 

happy to see the other new developments 

taking place around Hornby. 

A New Brighton resident, but formerly 

from Hornby, June Tyrell visits Hornby 

twice a week to collect children from 

school and uses the opportunity to visit 

The Hub. She says the shops are looking 

very attractive and she can’t wait for it to 

be finished. 

Raj, his wife Nimi Bedi moved down 

from Auckland almost six months 

ago, and are living in Rolleston. They 

followed their son, Dushan who had 

come to Christchurch to help with the 

rebuild, bringing his wife Sonia and son 

Anhad. The family comes to Hornby 

to shop almost every day and say the 

changes are long overdue. Raj is a 

Justice of the Peace and volunteers at the 

Hornby Citizens Advice Bureau. 

A visitor from Kaikoura, this was the 

third time Julie Syme had been to The 

Hub. She says the changes are “quite 

refreshing” and she likes seeing the 

changes and the growth in Hornby. She 

appreciates the “good signage” in The 

Hub and says she will be back. 

Cherie, Josh and Alex Cooper live in 

Rolleston but come to Hornby “all the 

time,” Cherie says. She and her sons 

enjoy The Hub – Cherie likes all the 

new shops and the boys like the slushies 

at Wendy’s, the sushi and Couplands 

Bakery. They also enjoy letting off steam 

at Mega Air, the indoor trampoline park 

in Carmen Road. 

Prebbleton resident Sandra Fairbairn 

visits Hornby once a week. She says 

the new developments are going to 

revolutionise the area. She believes they 

are good for the local people and the 

economy, and says there is a tremendous 

cross-section of businesses coming in. 

Hornby resident Debbie Dick loves 

shopping at the new mall, and says she is 

so pleased to have the new food court there. 

There are a lot of fast food restaurants 

around the mall, and it was about time they 

put in a food court, Debbie says. 

Spotted shopping in The Hub, Jason 

Mendoza and Don Don Tanggap arrived 

from the Philippines around two months 

ago. They are working as upholsterers at 

Sleepyhead and living at nearby Awatea. 

They like shopping at the Hub for the 

“good prices,” especially at Pak ‘n’ Save. 

Iconic mall heart of Hornby shopping 

While Hornby boasts a huge range of retail 

outlets, including many of New Zealand’s 

major brand names, the heart of the suburb’s 

shopping environment is undoubtedly its 

iconic mall – The Hub Hornby. 

Providing a central shopping spot for residents since 

it opened in 1976 as Hornby 

Mall, the complex has 

undergone many changes 

over the last 40 years. 

Originally, it was housed in a 

number of separate buildings, 

but the last 20 years have 

seen the businesses in the 

complex come together to 

operate under one roof, with 

a $7.5 million redevelopment 

taking place in 1998. 

The 1980s and 1990s saw 

the mall grow in popularity, 

taking on a more family focus, 

though today as an integral 

part of the community, it 

caters for all demographics. 

Another major refurbishment took place in 2005 with 

a new architectural look and a new colour scheme, and 

the following year the name was changed from Hornby 

Mall to The Hub Hornby, bringing a mixed response 

from local residents. 

One notable feature, centre manager Jason Marsden 

points out, is that The Hub Hornby is one of very few 

locally owned shopping malls in the South Island, and as 

such has developed its own distinct culture. 

Prior to the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes, expansion 

work had been planned for the centre, Mr Marsden says, 

and that work began in 2012. 

Hornby was fortunate to escape major earthquake 

damage, and with no structural damage sustained, The 

Hub was only closed for half a day after the February 22 

event, he says. 

All the buildings are now 100-plus per cent of code. 

Among the many developments that have been 

occurring over the last 15 years, one of the most 

significant was the opening of the new Farmers store 

covering 6000 sqm over two levels in September 2014. 

The development, which was completed in March this 

year, also includes six speciality shops located at the 

entrance to Farmers. 

Providing greater convenience for Hub shoppers will 

be the installation of a ramp to connect the two levels 

of roof-top car parking, creating a flow between them. 

It will be accessible from the upper level of the Farmers. 

A new internal retail precinct following the line of 

Chalmers Street and joining the new Farmers with the 

northern entrance is also now open. 

“This creates a flow right through the centre of The 

Hub,” Mr Marsden says. 

Following on from that will be the opening of the 

northern atrium, which will become the main entrance 

to the complex. This is due for completion in mid- 

November. 

The new food court space is also now accessible with 

tenants opening as they complete their fit-outs,” Mr 

Marsden says. 

“This is an 

architecturally 

d e s i g n e d 

contemporary 

space offering 

different types of 

seating, depending 

on what people 

want. In addition 

to the existing 

food outlets, there 

will be more 

opening up giving 

our shoppers even 

greater choice.” 

The other 

advantage for 

Hub shoppers, Mr 

Marsden says, is that it is just a five-minute walk from 

several large retailers in the area, namely Dressmart, The 

Warehouse and Toy World, with Mitre 10 and Harvey 

Norman also close by. 

“Hornby is becoming known for its retail. And there is 

good development still happening, with new businesses 

still opening up. The stars are aligned, it’s a great location, 

there’s a strong, vibrant, growing community, so we are 

on the ascendancy.” 

Today, The Hub Hornby offers shoppers an enticing 

mix of retail and service outlets, including the major 

banks – a central point where locals and visitors can 

browse and shop in a friendly, community-minded 

environment.

Focus on achieving goals at 

Hornby fitness centre 

WESTERN NEWS 

For Hornby residents, there’s no 

reason not to stay fit when the 

Hornby fitness studio Anytime 

Fitness is open 24 hours a day, 

plus being conveniently located in the 

heart of the Hornby shopping area, it is 

easy to access too. 

At just over 17 months old, this bright, 

modern, unisex gym offers facilities that 

are in tip-top condition and very clean. 

There are eight friendly staff members, 

including five personal trainers, who have 

members’ best interests at heart. 

Anytime Fitness offers a range of group 

fitness classes, as well as virtual classes, 

with the focus being on helping people 

achieve their health and fitness goals, says 

manager Chris. 

On joining the club, new members 

are given one hour free with a personal 

trainer, who will show them how to use 

the equipment and give them exercises to 

get them started, she says. 

“We like to work on people,” Chris 

says. “We ask new members if they’ve 

belonged to a fitness club before and we 

talk to them about what their goals are and 

see if their plans for what they want to do 

at the gym measure up realistically with 

these goals. 

“We nurture our members, and if they 

haven’t been to the gym regularly we 

follow up by text or email to make sure 

everything is alright with them, and help 

them get back on track if necessary.” 

This can include a motivation session 

with a personal trainer and a free six to 

eight-week programme, depending on 

their lack of use. 

“After all, they have paid to join the gym, 

so we want to show them we appreciate 

that and encourage them to keep up their 

fitness regime by giving them a kick-start 

if they need it,” Chris says. 

Prospective members who are not 

sure about joining up are offered a free, 

no-obligation seven-day trial on seven 

consecutive days. As of September 1, the 

club has also introduced a new month-tomonth 

flexible contract. 

Members of Anytime Fitness Hornby 

are all ages and from all walks of life, with 

a lot of families belonging to the club. 

“One person will join, and they enjoy 

it so much they tell their family members 

about it and they come along too. Those 

referrals are a testament to how good our 

club is,” Chris says. 

The club also runs a number of social 

events and activities during the year, 

which gives members the opportunity to 

socialise and get to know each other. 

Members of Anytime Fitness Hornby 

can also access all five of the Anytime 

Fitness centres in Christchurch, as well as 

the other 24 centres around New Zealand, 

and the thousands across the world. 

To enquire about membership or a free 

trial at Anytime Fitness Hornby, phone

Karate Club Sends Student to 

Japan for Championship 

With the title of the So- 

Kyokuishin World Karate 

Championship Tournament 

in Japan just around the 

corner, Steve Burt is currently immersed 

in intensive training with his instructor, 

Sensei Mark Webster at the Hornby 

based Kyokushin Karate Club. Next 

month Steve will head to Shizuoka-city to 

compete against the world’s top fighters. 

To reach the finals - held in Japan on 

22 and 23 October - Steve won several 

bouts in order to qualify for the world 

championship. 

With a 3rd Kyu Green Belt Black 

Tab and having won two match fights 

in Milton within the past year, Steve 

is well equipped to take on some of 

the world’s most experienced fighters 

in Japan next month. Just one amongst 

a hundred from over 50 countries 

around the globe, Steve has put in the 

hard yards over the years to reach this 

exciting point. 

Since being captivated by Jean- 

Claude Van Damme’s fighting skills in 

action movies as a young boy, Steve 

has cultivated his passion to emulate his 

hero. Growing up in Karamea, however, 

training opportunities were few and far 

between he fostered his ambition for 

martial arts through teaching himself 

the basics from books. 

When he was 15 his dad got a job 

driving milk tankers to and from 

Hokitika where Steve knew there were 

weekly karate classes. After some 

careful negotiations with his mother 

Steve struck a deal to join his father 

on his weekly trips so he could attend 

karate classes on Sundays. 

This routine of long distance classes 

continued until Steve moved to Nelson 

two and a half years later and karate has 

been a pillar in his life ever since. 

In anticipation of the tournament in 

Japan next month the 34 year old has 

spent the past three months in intensive 

training with his eye firmly on the prize. 

Competition is fierce and with it 

comes unflinching commitment for this 

aspiring karate master. On top of training 

in the regular classes on Mondays and 

Thursdays every week with the rest of 

the club, Steve spends an additional 1-4 

hours 5-6 days a week in one-on-one 

training with Sensei Webster. 

“A typical session begins with 10 

minutes of skipping to warm up followed 

by dynamic stretching. Shadow sparring 

is designed to develop speed, which is 

followed by ten three minute rounds 

on a heavy bag, and ends with 15-20 

minutes of stamina work like shuttle 

runs with pyramid sets of push ups, situps 

and jump squats.” 

With unwavering support from his 

club, Sensei and his family, Steve’s 

girlfriend is of course his number one 

fan and trains by his side at the biweekly 

club classes whom Steve says is “a great 

support and motivator.” 

“I hope to do my family, my Sensei, 

my Dojo and MOKK NZ family proud.” 

“Martial arts has always been a major 

part of my life and it always will be.” 

More than just an effective form 

of self-defense, Kyokushin Karate is 

an ultimate form of fitness training. 

Providing an intense, full-body workout 

that improves stamina, speed, power, 

flexibility and pure strength, it’s also a 

great workout for the mind and improves 

self-confidence. 

For more information on joining 

weekly classes and monthly rates for 

kids, adults and families, visit www.

Naturopathic pharmacist Mark 

Webster of Stay Well Pharmacy 

in Shands Road, Hornby is the 

2016 winner of two awards in 

the annual New Zealand Pharmacy awards; 

the Good Sort Pharmacist of the Year 

and Innovation in Delivering Care and 

Advice. He was also runner-up in the Best 

Complementary Healthcare Campaign for 

2016. 

For the Good Sort Award, pharmacists 

are nominated by their peers and 

recognized for both excellence as a 

pharmacist and also the pharmacists’ 

involvement in activities outside the 

pharmacy. Mark is involved with many 

activities both nationally and locally, 

including a charitable trust, which runs a 

Kyokushin karate club that assists youth, 

especially those with behavioural issues. 

He also designed a form for New Zealand 

pharmacies to assist with payment from 

WINZ for patients requiring blister pack 

medications. 

The Innovation Award was in 

recognition of his work as a naturopathic 

pharmacist, through which he runs a clinic 

with clients and assists them in knowing 

health care choices around prescriptions, 

supplements and lifestyle. This work is 

complemented by GP, Dr Eugene Sia, 

who takes pre-arranged appointments 

at the Stay Well Pharmacy on Thursday 

mornings. 

Mark has also developed a series of 

information cards for clients, which inform 

them about the nutritional consequences 

of medication they take, and what they 

can do about that. 

Mark says he was “honored and 

humbled to receive the awards”. 

“It is wonderful to have recognition 

by your peers and to compare your own 

standards of care on a national basis. 

It’s rewarding to know I am delivering 

nationally recognised care.” 

For each of his two awards, Mark 

received a trophy, plus $1000 cash, and a 

certificate for his runner-up placing. These 

were presented at the awards dinner in 

Auckland on August 6.

Post-quake residential growth 

a boon for Hornby 

There has been a significant residential 

movement to the south and west 

of Christchurch city following the 

earthquakes that severely damaged 

large swathes of the eastern suburbs, and 

Hornby has been a “huge beneficiary” 

of this movement, says regional director 

for REINZ Canterbury/Westland/Nelson/ 

Marlborough, Jim Davis. 

“Hornby has taken off as a result, with 

the new shops and everything else that 

has gone on contributing to this, and 

with people moving to where there was 

employment,” Mr Davis says. 

“Following the earthquakes there was 

an initial increase in employment right 

through this part of Christchurch. Hornby 

has benefitted because it is an affordable 

suburb to buy homes in, which has brought 

a lot of people here.” 

REINZ figures show that over the 

months of May, June and July 2015, 

residential sales in Hornby and the 

surrounding suburbs of Wigram, 

Sockburn, Aidanfield and Halswell were 

as follows: May, 54 sales, with a median 

price of $470,000; June, 65 sales with a 

median price of $520,000; and July, 66 

sales with a median price of $484,000. In 

the same three months this year, sales were 

as follows: May, 74 sales with a median 

price of $536,500; June, 66 sales with a 

median price of $469,250; July, 57 sales 

with a median price of $482,500. 

The improvements in roading, such as 

the Southern Motorway and the by-pass 

north to Russley Road, have also benefitted 

Hornby, Mr Davis says. 

New subdivisions in adjacent areas are 

contributing to Hornby’s growth, too. 

“Rolleston has grown at a huge rate and 

people living there stop off in Hornby 

for shopping on their way to and from 

Christchurch, and this has added to the 

interest in the suburb.” 

Mr Davis believes the retail 

developments have brought a change of 

image to Hornby and people are looking at 

the suburb differently now. 

“It’s not the outpost of Christchurch that 

it once was.” 

On the city side of Hornby, Wigram 

has also seen major growth following the 

earthquakes, including the sub-division at 

Wigram Skies on the former air force base, 

which is being developed by Ngai Tahu 

Property. 

“South-west Christchurch has long been 

an identified growth corridor for the city 

and Wigram Skies provided the impetus 

for the development of this region in the 

post-earthquake era,” says development 

manager Wigram Skies Scott Johansson. 

“In the earlier stages of the development 

there was demand from a number of red 

zone residents. Anecdotally, there were 

also a lot of sales coming from people who 

had sold their existing dwellings to red 

zoners and then upgraded to a new house 

at Wigram.” 

Another sub-division, Awatea, which is a 

public-private housing project comprising 

affordable homes, is being constructed on 

Crown-owned land in Wigram by Fletcher 

Residential. The 11.5-hectare site was 

land owned by the NZ Transport Agency 

and left over from the construction of the 

Southern Motorway. When completed, 

the development will have a total of 238 

homes, with 40 per cent of them priced 

below $400,000. 

Residents from these developments, 

and other sub-divisions further west, such 

as Longhurst and Knights Stream Park in 

Halswell will potentially bring hundreds 

more customers into the Hornby retail 

and business area, contributing to its 

continuing growth, Mr Davis says.

In 1993, Michael moved to Perth in Western 

Australia where he set up a salon at Murdoch 

University, before establishing an up-market full 

service salon at Mount Lawley in Perth. 

Michael has always loved hairdressing. His 

enthusiasm and expertise led to his appointment as 

the Director of the International Hair Stylists Society 

in Australia, and board member on the Hairdressers 

Registration Board and Hairdressers’ Guild in 

Western Australia. 

“Michael is a passionate hairdresser who gets 

twitchy if he doesn’t cut hair for two days,” laughs his 

wife, Angela. 

When the couple’s daughter, met and married 

a New Zealander, Angela and Michael had no 

intention of living in this country. However, nine 

years of travelling between the two countries, to 

spend time with the family, led to the decision to 

move across the ditch. 

“We love Christchurch and being close to our 

family,” says Angela. 

Michael worked within the Just Cuts organisation 

until the opportunity arose this year for the couple 

to purchase a Just Cuts franchise. At the end of 

July, they opened Just Cuts Hornby, specialists in 

haircuts.

Michael is passionate about hair and the industry,

“Finding a hairdresser who can cut properly is

they plan to train their own hairdressers. 

Michael and his team are fully trained in hair care

Dimensions Length, 5365mm; width,

Configuration Five-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,

six-speed automatic. 

Performance 0-100km/h, 9.6sec 

Fuel Usage 9.2l/100km 

When you look at all the 

product Mazda has to 

offer new car buyers, 

especially here in 

New Zealand, there’s one vehicle which 

looks out of place – that is the BT50 

light commercial ute. 

I say that because Mazda has a huge 

manufacturing emphasis on cars and 

sport utility vehicles, and the line-up it 

has now is focused heavily on providing 

buyers with quality product fit for 

purpose. 

Nevertheless, to be profitable and 

competitive in today’s global market, 

companies which have utility vehicles 

are experiencing a buoyancy like never 

before, more so here in New Zealand. 

Last year Ford’s Ranger utility was the 

biggest selling vehicle overall, and that has 

never happened in this country before. 

Mazda have capitalised on Ranger’s 

success as well, the BT50 is a sister 

vehicle; while the shape is different, the 

platform and engine are the same. 

BY ROSS KIDDIE 

The BT50 has just had a substantial 

upgrade both outside and inside. Major 

exterior changes include a new grille 

and lights up front, while rear tail light 

assemblies have had significant garnish 

changes. Inside, there are new seat 

coverings, and an upgrade on the plastic 

trim elements. 

According to Mazda the changes give 

the BT50 a more aggressive, muscular 

look and by my reckoning, it is still 

one of the best looking utes in the New 

Zealand market. 

Elsewhere, the BT50 is much the 

same rugged ute as it ever has been. It 

lands in a range of 13 variants priced 

from $35,295 to $57,295. All have a 

3.2-litre five-cylinder engine, and there 

are the usual choices between single 

cab, Freestyle cab and double-cab, two 

and four-wheel-drive. And there are 

options between manual or automatic 

transmission, although it’s fair to say, 

most are autos. 

The test vehicle was the range topping 

GSX double cab automatic. Incidentally, 

that model with manual transmission is 

available at $55,295. 

I’ve often written about how much I 

enjoy five-cylinder engines, they have 

a characteristic of their own, and in the 

BT50, it stands out for its smooth and 

rattle-free operation. 

It is a twin-camshaft, 20-valve unit 

which is rated at 147kW and 470Nm, 

it is a high technology engine which 

offers low maintenance costs thanks to a 

new capped price servicing initiative by 

Mazda New Zealand. 

It also has the benefit of low fuel usage. 

Mazda claim a 9.2-litre per 100km 

(31mpg) combined cycle average for 

the BT50. My time with the test vehicle 

constantly listed around 10l/100km 

(28mpg) with an instantaneous figure 

of 7.7l/100km (36mpg) available at a 

100km/h cruise (engine speed 1800rpm). 

Power is harnessed seamlessly through 

the six-speeder. The ratios are a wide 

spread of what is required for low range 

work as well as broadening to promote 

those satisfactory fuel usage figures. The 

driveline is smooth, hiding well the tough 

mechanical elements that have high 

demands, such as a 3500kg towing figure. 

Naturally, the four-wheel-drive system 

has a low ratio transfer case, it can be 

manipulated by a console-mounted 

switch. I didn’t do a lot of off-road work, 

but I did tackle a long shingle incline 

deep in the Malvern Hills. The BT50 is 

in its element on rutted road surfaces, 

the suspension is supple, dealing to 

bumps and corrugations, and providing 

a cushioned ride. 

Bearing in mind that the BT50 still 

has a leaf-spring located live rear axle, 

the suspension engineers have done well 

to create the civilised ride along with 

the load bearing properties needed in 

the traditional ute. The BT50 also gets 

a high ground clearance of 237mm, 

which means cross-country travel can be 

tackled with confidence. 

The BT50 is at home on the seal as it 

is off-road. I took the test car on a long 

highway drive and it is relaxing and 

inviting to drive. Such is the civilised way 

it rides, it is easy to head into a corner 

with more speed on than realised, so it 

must be remembered there are some 

cornering limitations. 

In terms of on-road performance, 

a standstill to 100km/h time of 9.6sec 

is pretty useful for a big, heavy vehicle 

which weighs in at just over two-tonne. 

With the mid-range torque figure it will 

also blast thorough a highway overtake 

without effort.

Well-known business pleased to be back in Hornby 

After nearly a decade away, one of 

Christchurch’s most well-known 

motor vehicle parts businesses 

has returned to Hornby. 

As of September 1, Butler Auto Mart 

is back trading in its Brynley Street 

premises, from where it had previously 

operated for 20 years. 

Managing director of the family owned 

and operated business, Tony Butler, says 

over the past nine-plus years he has been 

approached by many Hornby locals asking 

store manager Edward Butler, who has 

been working in the industry for some 20 

years and has a well-established reputation 

for his knowledge and expertise. 

“We sell the things that make the car run, 

like engine parts and wheel bearings, our 

range is very extensive, and we can source 

anything, nationwide and worldwide. 

“If something a customer wants is not in 

stock we will go to any lengths necessary 

to find it. Our customers quickly realise 

that they do not need to shop around 

for the business to return, and after careful 

consideration it was decided to move back 

to a “booming Hornby”. 

The building at 4 Brynley Street, which 

the Butlers own, has been extensively 

renovated over the last three months and 

stocked with an extensive range of auto 

parts brought in from its other branches, 

which were bursting at the seams. 

“We specialise in car parts for all makes 

and models, particularly classic cars. We 

can supply parts for cars from the early 

1900 models up to the present day,” says 

– if it is available we will get it at the 

best possible price; if we can’t get what 

our customer wants, then it will not be 

available anywhere,” Edward says. 

“Customers just need to leave their phone 

number and we will get back to them.” 

Butler Auto Mart has two other 

branches in Christchurch – 407 Colombo 

St, Sydenham and The Super Store at 261 

Stanmore Road, Richmond, which started 

in 1975. 

“We are very pleased to be back in 

Hornby,” Edward says.

Project offers affordable homes 

for rent and purchase 

An innovative Christchurch 

housing project is being 

developed in Lesley Keast 

Place Hornby. A collaborative 

partnership between the New Zealand 

Housing Foundation, Salvation Army, 

Abbeyfield, Housing Plus Charitable 

Trust, the Rata Foundation, Christchurch 

City Council and Government its aim 

is to provide new, affordable living 

accommodation for low-income single 

people and families, both for rent and 

purchase. 

The project has seen a number 

of properties being completed and 

occupied over the last year or so and 

there are more to come. 

“The whole concept for the 

development is about creating a 

community with a mix of incomes and 

ages, so there’s a balance,” says project 

manager for the New Zealand Housing 

Foundation in Christchurch, Bill King. 

Constructed on behalf of the 

nationwide Abbeyfield New Zealand 

organisation, Abbeyfield House at 

number 6 Lesley Keast Place, was opened 

in November 2015. A communal-style 

accommodation facility comprising 

12 studios, each with en-suite, it is 

especially suited to older people who are 

on their own – either single or widowed, 

and want to keep some independence 

while having company around when 

they feel they need it. 

The development was planned prior 

to the Christchurch earthquakes and 

wasn’t built in response to those events, 

Mr King says. However, with the quakes 

creating an increase in housing demand 

from across the city, all 12 studios were 

taken up promptly, and there is a long 

waiting list. 

Also part of the Hornby development 

are eleven smaller homes, which will be 

constructed as rental properties for the 

Housing Plus Charitable Trust and will 

be completed and occupied by the end 

of 2017. 

A key plank of the Housing 

Foundation’s programme is the shared 

SPring iS 

HErE! 

bUSY bEES cArPET 

& UPHOLSTErY cLEAning 

ownership model, which was launched 

in Auckland nine years ago. Brand-new 

three- and four-bedroom homes are built 

on the basis that the occupants purchase 

a share in the home in conjunction with 

the foundation. 

“The share they take will depend on 

what they can afford. For example, the 

purchasers may take a 75 per cent share 

and the charitable trust the other 25 per 

cent,” Mr King says. 

“The scheme is aimed at families who 

can’t quite make it in terms of raising a 

sufficient deposit or afford repayments

on a full bank mortgage. They have the 

opportunity to eventually purchase their 

homes outright.” 

The foundation has built five of 

these three and four-bedroom homes 

in Hornby for first-home buyers, and 

the contract has just been let to build 

a further five, which will be due for 

completion in March/April 2017, Mr 

King says. 

In order to inform local communities 

about the opportunities for potential 

home ownership being provided, the 

foundation contacts larger employers 

and other organisations to let them know 

when developments are coming up, and 

this approach has brought a positive 

response, he says. 

Further along Lesley Keast Place are 

10 Salvation Army houses that were 

delivered for the organisation by the 

Housing Foundation. 

These new, two and three-bedroom 

homes are occupied by people that 

were affected by the earthquakes and 

fulfilled the Salvation Army’s social 

housing criteria, acting manager for the 

Salvation Army’s social housing, Greg 

Coyle says. 

“It’s a mixed group and the idea is for 

them to develop a sense of community 

by getting to know each other and 

support each other,” Mr Coyle says. 

“And if any of them get into social 

difficulty or distress, the Salvation Army 

can bring its considerable experience in 

to help the situation.”

Business park bringing jobs and growth to Hornby 

LEFT TO RIGHT Artist’s impression of how Islington Square will look / Waterloo BP Lot 110 / Recreational facilities for community use are included in the new business park development. 

An integral part of the Hornby 

community, Hornby High 

School, which opened in 

1975, is itself about to undergo 

significant developments. 

All the present school buildings, apart 

from the auditorium and music school, 

which will have a facelift, are to be 

demolished and replaced with a brandnew 

complex of buildings. Work on 

the $24-million project is due to start 

in March/April 2017 with completion 

expected in late 2018. 

The development of a new business 

park in the heart of Hornby is bringing 

a new era of employment and business 

activity to the area, while retaining 

elements of its rich and colourful history 

– the Waterloo Business Park is located 

on the site once occupied by the Islington 

Freezing Works and there are plans to 

incorporate some of its Victorian-era 

buildings within the new complex. 

Construction activity got underway 

in 2013; however, the concept for 

the park was well over a decade in 

the planning, assistant development 

manager Joel Webber says. During 

that time, community engagement, 

participation and integration were key 

considerations in the evolution, planning 

and development of Waterloo Business 

Park, he says. 

The park will have a total of 104 lots of 

development land, and once completed 

will be home to around 100 individual 

businesses, including retail. 

“Sub-division of development land 

is due to be completed by mid-2017, 

while our convenience-retail focused 

development, Islington Square, on the 

site of the old Islington meat processing 

plant will be constructed and delivered 

in phases over an additional two to five 

years,” Mr Webber says. 

The typical profile of businesses that 

have committed to Waterloo Business 

Park are well-established, owneroccupier 

businesses, Mr Webber says, 

with a number having bought multiple 

lots and consolidated them into single 

lots for their specific requirements. 

These include Hamilton Jet, which has 

consolidated five lots into one lot of 7.5ha, 

Connetics, which has consolidated three 

lots into one lot of 5.5ha and Cardinal 

Logistics, which has consolidated four 

lots into one lot of 2.5ha. 

“We have noticed that the majority of 

the businesses that have committed to 

Waterloo Business Park are dominated 

by freight/logistics/distribution, light 

manufacturing and food production 

industries. 

“As a sub-set of those businesses, 

we’re seeing strong trends representing 

businesses that are relocating from 

Christchurch’s eastern industrial areas 

to take advantage of such factors as the 

superior geotechnical ground conditions 

in the wider Hornby area, the strong 

growth in Christchurch’s western corridor 

and the superior roading infrastructure, 

vehicular access and proximity to both 

Christchurch International Airport and 

Lyttelton Port. 

“We are also seeing strong interest from 

businesses that are outgrowing premises 

in the immediate area. They have a high 

degree of confidence and comfort in the 

broader Hornby industrial catchment and 

will only consider relocating within its 

confines.” 

Mr Webber acknowledges Hornby’s 

transition from traditional primary 

industries into a more services-oriented 

model, as is reflected in the take-up at the 

business park.

PROUD TO BE PART OF THE 

CHANGING FACE OF HORNBY


Building a unique house is affordable 

Myles Laing started working 

on building sites at the age of 

fourteen, helping his father 

clean up rubbish, lift materials 

and carry out other basic jobs. Over time, 

he picked up many tricks of the trade. 

Myles has always had a passion for 

building and creating unique designs and 

initially wished to become an architect. 

After leaving school, he decided to put 

his efforts into the more practical side of 

building by completing an apprenticeship 

in carpentry, gaining experience by 

working for one of Christchurch’s most 

prestigious architectural building firms. 

“I was able to work on a number of 

architectural buildings and although 

many were stunning, they would be 

unaffordable for many people. I wanted 

to provide uniquely designed homes that 

would stand out from other houses but 

without the huge price tag that would 

normally go with them.” 

Myles decided to join the family 

business, Laing Properties, ultimately 

creating the Myles Laing brand. This 

fitted with other initiatives the parent 

company was engaged in, while 

broadening its range of services offered 

in the marketplace. 

Two years ago, Myles created the 

Decisive range of simplistic modern 

designs consisting of affordable 

architecturally designed homes. In the 

middle of this year, the Eminent range 

was introduced which reflects sleek 

modern designs with a traditional spin. 

Both ranges are appealing with an 

efficient use of space while capitalising 

on the opportunity for outdoor living. 

Along with loving the design process 

and building element, Myles really enjoys 

working with clients, adding suggestions 

and more importantly listening to what 

they want. 

“While I like creating something 

different and not the norm, it’s what the 

client wants that’s important, something 

that is very easy to achieve if you listen 

to them,” adds Myles. 

Myles’ technical background is an 

added strength. He can draw from the 

client exactly what they need and would 

like, helping him to come up with a 

concept they really love and that fits 

with their budget. Rather than the client 

engaging an architect directly to produce 

a design that could be way out of their 

financial reach, he is able to work a 

design that will suit them. 

As Construction Manager for Laing 

Properties, Myles project manages the 

houses built under the Myles Laing 

brand, ensuring quality workmanship 

and involving the clients throughout the 

process so there are no surprises, and 

clients are completely satisfied. 

The company builds across Canterbury 

with a steady increase in builds in the 

Selwyn district. 

If you would like to talk to Myles about 

how he can create a unique and striking 

house design for you, he can be contacted 

by telephone on 349 4977 or by email at: 

myles@laing.co.nz. Have a look too at

Looking 

good at 

the races 

IT’S FUN to strut your stuff 

and have a good time at the 

races, but as Vania Bailey says, 

don’t forget etiquette. 

“You don’t want to be a show 

pony. You need to look polished 

but most importantly you need 

to feel comfortable in your own 

skin. 

“Don’t reveal too much. 

Remember the rules – if you 

are showing off a bit of cleavage 

then wear a longer skirt. If you 

have a long split in your dress 

don’t show off your chest. Don’t 

have everything on show – be 

discreet. 

“Accessories are important to 

pull your outfit together – shoes, 

short gloves and a matching 

fascinator or hat. 

“If you are going to wear 

something fitted make sure you 

wear the right garments underneath 

so there are no outlines or 

bumps. 

“If you decide on a spray tan, 

have a trial a few weeks before. 

You don’t want to turn orange 

on the day. Book your hair, nails 

and makeup in advance.” 

Airline uniforms land in city 

AN AWARD-winning 

exhibition that looks at the 

uniforms, aircraft and stories 

of the country’s flagship airline 

opened at the Canterbury 

Museum at the weekend. 

Air New Zealand 75 Years. Our 

nation. The world. Connected 

is an exhibition at Canterbury 

Museum celebrating the airline’s 

75th anniversary. 

It has already been on display 

at Te Papa in Wellington, and 

Auckland War Memorial 

Museum, attracting 677,000 

visitors. 

The exhibition begins with a 

look at Air New Zealand’s uniform 

designs over the years, as 

well as traveller and crew stories. 

OLD 

SCHOOL: 

The ‘Air New 

Zealand 

75 Years. 

Our nation. 

The world. 

Connected’ 

exhibition 

is on at 

Canterbury 

Museum. 

It moves into the aircraft and 

flight aspect of the airline’s history, 

including the TEAL flying 

boat era, and the early days of 

flight in Canterbury. 

The story of former Christchurch 

Mayor Henry Wigram’s flying 

school and Lady Constance 

Stewart’s involvement with 

the Canterbury Aero Club are 

explored. 

It also looks at tourism pioneer 

Rodolph Wigley, who founded 

the Mt Cook Group that 

later included Mount Cook 

Airlines. 

The exhibition also features a 

virtual reality in-flight experience 

and takes a look at its 

promotion posters, videos and 

examples of how the airline has 

adapted over 75 years. 

It won best exhibition at the 

New Zealand events awards last 

month, beating the Gallipoli 

World War 1 exhibition at Te 

Papa. 

It will run until March 26 2017.

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

Breaking the language 

barrier for tennis players 

IN A first for tennis in 

Canterbury, Waimairi 

Tennis Club will offer 

two novel coaching 

programmes this summer 

– one conducted in 

Mandarin and the other 

for pre-schoolers. 

Club senior coach Adam 

Gard’ner, who has some 

Chinese Mandarin skills, 

saw an opportunity for 

Christchurch’s expanding 

Mandarin-speaking community 

to get involved in 

tennis. 

“Many new people to the 

city are looking for ways 

to meet up with others to 

have fun and to exercise 

and this programme will 

provide exactly those opportunities. 

It’s a ‘learn to 

play programme’ and it is 

based on Tennis New Zealand’s 

‘Tennis Xpress’ programme 

for learners and 

intermediate level players. 

The big difference, though, 

is that it will be delivered 

predominantly in the 

Mandarin language,” said 

Gard’ner. 

Shanghai, China, was 

home to Gard’ner and his 

family for 12 years while 

he was involved in tennis 

management at the Shanghai 

Racquet Club and 

coach development with 

the Professional Tennis 

Registry. 

“There’s a real passion 

for tennis in China and 

players like Li Na are like 

superstars. We’re sure that 

local Mandarin speakers 

will be just as enthusiastic 

about our programme,” 

said Gard’ner. 

Waimairi Tennis Club 

president Lloyd Russell 

said the idea to introduce 

the Mandarin-speaking 

coaching is a fantastic opportunity 

for the club. 

“Having Adam with his 

Mandarin language skills 

seemed a great chance

to further our efforts to 

attract a new sector of 

players. We’re sure this 

programme will be a hit 

with the Christchurch 

community,” said Russell. 

Waimairi Tennis Club 

will also offer a new Tennis 

Hotshots ‘Blue Stage’ 

programme this summer. 

Russell said it will provide 

three to five-year-olds with 

an eight-session introductory 

programme that 

focuses on fundamental 

perceptual motor skills, 

building movement, ball 

and racquet skills. 

With a total of 500 

members – juniors and 

seniors – the club is the 

largest in Canterbury. 

Each season it enters 

upward of 11 senior and 

35 junior teams in Canterbury 

tennis competitions.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Research 

Supports 

Eye Health 

Nutritional researchers have discovered a range 

of nutrients that are essential for eye health. Some 

of the most essential nutrients that have been 

shown to protect and even improve eye function 

are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral that is low in 

N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our foods. 

Researchers believe selenium may help prevent 

cataracts, macular degeneration (the leading cause 

of impaired vision in older people) and may also 

improve dry eyes and general eye health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage of the 

population are low in. Zinc has been shown to 

help protect the eyes from the damaging effects 

of light as well as slow vision loss due to macular 

degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Beta-carotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have potent 

antioxidant ability and help protect the eyes from 

damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing nutrients 

that have been shown in landmark research to 

not only provide potent eye protection but may 

even help reverse some of the signs of age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent 

antioxidants may help protect the lens and retina 

from damage and reduce the risk of cataracts. They 

also may help improve blood supply to the eye, 

strengthen the small capillaries of the eye and may 

help improve night vision, may alleviate many eye 

ailments including eye fatigue that may be caused 

by reading, driving and computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye pressure and 

reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential for 

correct eye function. It may also have a detoxifying 

affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, 

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. It 

provides many nutrients, is rich in oligomeric 

proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that are potent 

antioxidants that may protect eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic amount 

should provide comprehensive eye protection, may 

slow and possibly even help reverse eye damage 

that could lead to loss of vision. All these nutrients 

are available in an economical one a day easy to 

swallow capsule.

Care For Your Joints 

They’re critical to remain 

healthy and mobile 

Refuse to accept joint pain and stiffness as part of life. Do 

the work to maintain and support your joints to get the 

best out of them for as long as possible. 

Research from Johns Hopkins 

University confirms that in the 

treatment of arthritis, exercise and 

physical activity has many benefits. 

• Regular exercise helps keep 

muscles around the joints strong, 

decrease bone loss and control joint 

swelling and pain. 

• Strengthening the muscles 

surrounding affected joints helps 

to relieve pressure on the joint and 

cartilage. 

• Regular exercise helps replenish 

lubrication of the joint cartilage and 

reduces stiffness and pain. 

• Lack of physical activity is 

associated with increased muscle 

weakness, joint stiffness, reduced 

range of motion and fatigue 

• Exercise needs to be directed at 

the entire body and not just the joints 

that are affected with arthritis. 

The golden rule for joint health - 

Keep moving! 

The more you move 

the less pain and 

stiffness you will have.

A Gut Feeling 

Digestive health is becoming increasingly important 

for improving our overall wellbeing. As there is a 

distinct connection between our tummy and our 

moods, immunity and even our behaviours, it pays 

to follow your gut if you feel out of sorts with 

these nutritional enhancer 

Dietary fibre is made up of 

three types and each play a 

different role throughout the 

digestive tract. It’s often a 

case of balancing them all and not only 

supplementing with just one. To ensure 

you get enough fibre in your diet: women 

should aim for 25 grams to 30 grams 

and men 30 grams to 38 grams each day. 

Soluble fibre are found in oats, psyllium, 

vegetables, fruits with their skin on and 

supplements like Metamucil. Insoluble 

fibre can be found in wheat bran pasta 

and quinoa. Resistant starch is contained 

in cold cooked pasta, potatoes and firm, 

fresh bananas. 

Probiotics and prebiotic foods can help 

keep the correct pH balance(acidity to 

alkalinity) in our intestines. These ‘good’ 

bacteria assist with breaking down fibre 

in the bowel and produce healthy stool 

movements. Probiotics can be found in 

supplements, cultured yoghurt, kombucha 

drinks and fermented vegetables. Prebiotic 

foods are Jerusalem artichokes and raw 

garlic, leeks and onions. 

Poor gut health could be caused by, 

but not limited to, high stress levels, 

caffeine, smoking or inadequate water 

consumption. If you suffer from prolonged 

periods of reflux, constipation, diarrhoea 

or cramping and nausea, seek medical 

advice. Your doctor may help identify 

possible intolerances or allergies.

Effective treatment for many 

types of pain 

Complementary medicine is becoming 

increasingly sought after in New Zealand 

as people become aware of the many 

different methods of treating pain and ill 

health that are available here. 

Christchurch-based Chinese health 

practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a 

method of treatment, which she says has 

as an immediate affect on a wide variety of 

pains and health conditions. It is known 

as ‘acupuncture without needles’. 

Lan describes it as being similar to 

reflexology in that the problem area on 

the body is determined through pressure, 

but is much more accurate. 

Trained as a medical practitioner in 

China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 

and began practising acupuncture in 

1995. From that discipline she created her 

acupuncture without needles, and uses 

it to treat people of all ages with many 

different types of pain in all parts of the 

body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, 

and pain from injury. 

“For example, the treatment has been 

very successful for people who have 

painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan 

says. 

Acupuncture without needles is also 

effective in restoring energy levels, 

she says. 

“As people age their energy is reduced, 

and this can lead to other health 

problems. The acupuncture without 

needles treatment is like the body’s 

battery being charged up again, so their 

energy levels are restored, which in turn 

helps overcome their health problems.” 

Lan also uses it to treat depression 

and anxiety, and says it can help with 

addiction problems as well. 

“After the treatment the person has no 

cravings – because it treats the cause of 

the addiction.” 

She says the results are immediate, 

though people may need several 

treatments, depending on the extent 

of their health problem, and while it 

is slightly painful for few moments, 

everyone can tolerate it. 

Lan Xiao’s website, www. 

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes 

videos of people whose health problems 

have been overcome after receiving the 

treatment. 

Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers 

Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, 

Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 

5pm. To discuss your health issues or 

make an appointment, phone 323 4168 

or 027 231 8388. 

Lan describes it as 

being similar to 

reflexology in that the 

problem area on the 

body is determined 

through pressure, but 

is much more accurate.

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo 

With over 200 sites to browse, unique businesses to discover, 

shopping, bargains and laughter, the Expo is the ultimate day 

out for every woman. 

One of the appeals the Expo has to 

visitors is the variety of companies 

involved with everything from 

jewellery and shoes to activewear 

and fitness to skincare and health 

products to gourmet food and wine 

and even a company offering plantbased 

cooking classes for Kids & 

Adults. There really is something for 

everyone and all ages. 

Renee Murray from NZME Events, 

organiser of the Expo says “Our 

aim is to have as wide of a range 

of companies involved with the 

Expo as possible. Women are all 

different and their individual interests 

are so diverse. One woman 

may love the latest in makeup or 

skincare but the woman beside 

her may be more interested in 

cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail 

or sampling handmade cheese. 

It’s great on the weekend to see 

all the various women visit the 

show, from teenagers to business 

women, mothers to grandmothers 

and friends simply enjoying each 

other’s company. It’s becoming 

more common for us to see three 

generations visit the Expo together 

as well, with the daughter, mother 

and grandmother all enjoying the 

show and spending the day with 

each other.” 

Brandhouse will exhibit at the Expo 

for the first time with their range of 

champagne, vodka, port and wines. 

Popular at other Expo’s this year 

has been the Royal Dragon’s elite 

flavour vodka collection with some 

flavours selling out. Introducing 

the most tantalizing and unique 

flavoured vodka collection of its time 

flavours include Watermelon, Green 

Apple, Passion Fruit, Chocolate and 

Lychee… A great vodka collection 

to enjoy neat, on the rocks or in 

your favourite cocktail! Visit the 

large Brandhouse site at the show 

to sample from their fabulous range 

and take home what you love. 

Christinz Clothing will visit the show 

for the first time, travelling from 

Balclutha to showcase her selection 

of Designer Clothing including; 

pants, stunning tops, skirts, base 

layers and jackets. A popular 

item are her batwing sleeve tops with a 

flattering shape through front to suit all 

sizes and with pink, gold, navy, black 

and silver in the colour range these tops 

look great with jeans, skirts or leggings.

their exclusive High Protein Muesli. Not
