HALLOWEEN DELIGHT: Tara Dockerty-Wanhalla of Hornby with her son Soul dressed<br />

up as Chucky from supernatural film series Child’s Play. On Saturday The Hub Hornby<br />

celebrated Halloween with about 350 children participating in the mall’s trick or treat<br />

event. The Hub Hornby centre manager Jason Marsden said the mall was “buzzing”<br />

with lots of smiling children in costume. He said some of the costumes efforts made<br />

by the children were “outstanding”. Halloween was officially celebrated yesterday.<br />

INCREASING THE cost of on-site<br />

car parking is the “fairest approach”<br />

to Canterbury University addressing<br />

the cost of car parking provision<br />

and maintenance.<br />

On-site campus parking prices has<br />

been earmarked to skyrocket over<br />

the next three years.<br />

Last week Canterbury University<br />

announced on-site campus parking<br />

will increase by more than 56.6 per<br />

cent per cent for students and nearly<br />

120 per cent for staff by 2<strong>01</strong>9.<br />

The decision comes after Canterbury<br />

University was unable to cover<br />

the cost of car park provision and<br />

maintenance.<br />

Vice-chancellor Dr Rob Carr said<br />

it does not believe it is appropriate<br />

to subsidise car parking from other<br />

revenue that would be used for<br />

research, teaching and learning.<br />

When asked by <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

if the decision was a last resort Dr<br />

Carr said the decision was the “fairest<br />

approach”.<br />

City council requirements outlined<br />

in the Christchurch District<br />

Replacement Plan estimates an additional<br />

1057 extra car parks will be<br />

needed in the next seven years.<br />

Dr Carr said the number of<br />

student parking permits had grown<br />

continually since 2<strong>01</strong>3, in spite of<br />

parking fees increasing by 15 per<br />

cent.<br />

“In terms of impact on the community,<br />

on-street parking issues are<br />

for the city council to address,” he<br />

said.<br />

Currently students pay $304 a year<br />

while staff pay $455 a year to park<br />

on campus.<br />

BARBECUE PROPOSED<br />

The city council has begun<br />

consultation on the installation of<br />

a barbecue and shelter with seating<br />

at Avonhead Park. Wigram Lions<br />

approached the city council about<br />

the project so they could leave a<br />

permanent legacy for their 100th<br />

worldwide Lions anniversary in<br />

2<strong>01</strong>7. The barbecue facility would<br />

be located between the tennis court<br />

and sports pavilion. The city council<br />

also plans to install an additional<br />

picnic table and footpath. To make<br />

a submission, go to https://www.<br />

OFFICIAL OPENING: The official opening of The Hub Hornby’s new food court was held last Thursday. The Hub Hornby<br />

board chairman Michael Keyse cuts the ribbon with centre manager Jason Marsden.<br />

Hub celebrates $75m upgrade<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A CELEBRATION was held<br />

last Thursday to mark 40 years<br />

since The Hub Hornby was first<br />

established in 1976.<br />

As well as celebrating 40<br />

years, a red ribbon was cut to<br />

officially mark the completion<br />

and opening of the mall’s food<br />

court.<br />

The food court features wellknown<br />

restaurants and cafes<br />

including Pita Pit, Ichiban,<br />

Roast Republic, Cheeky Sparrow,<br />

Tank Juice, Shamiana and<br />

Hungry Wok.<br />

The $75 million refurbishment<br />

saw the centre grow from<br />

1200 to 6000 sq m.<br />

The Hub Hornby centre manager<br />

Jason Marsden said it was<br />

quite a milestone for the centre<br />

across a number of areas.<br />

He said leading up to the official<br />

opening, the food court had<br />

been popular with a nice design<br />

for seating.<br />

“Depending on how people<br />

use the centre – from big round<br />

tables for families to sit around,<br />

to lean-on bars and high stalls<br />

for people grabbing a quick bit<br />

of lunch before they disappear,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Marsden said the stage<br />

completes the whole picture as<br />

far as people being able to flow<br />

around the entire centre.<br />

Last Thursday was also the<br />

beginning of the mall’s late<br />

night Thursdays where it traded<br />

from 9am-9pm for the first<br />

time.<br />

Mr Marsden said Thursday<br />

was a big night for retail in New<br />

Zealand<br />

The final stage of the refurbishment<br />

will be the completion<br />

of the northern entrance way<br />

which is set to be finished by the<br />

end of <strong>November</strong>.<br />

SPEED LIMIT CHANGES<br />

POSSIBLE IN HALSWELL<br />

The city council has proposed lowering<br />

the speed limit along six roads<br />

within the Halswell area. This would<br />

include changing the speed limit on<br />

Halswell Junction Rd, Marshs Rd,<br />

Quaifes Rd, Sparks Rd, Milns Rd<br />

and Sutherlands Rd. It comes after<br />

the city council approved speed limit<br />

changes on 29 roads around the city<br />

in September. At the meeting, the<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />

Board requested the city<br />

council looked into further speed<br />

reviews in the Halswell area. To see<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

Lymphoma<br />

Moya is a beautiful 4yr old Bull Mastiff cross who<br />

until earlier this year had been a perfectly healthy<br />

young dog. Her owners had noticed that over the<br />

past few days she hadn’t been quite her normal<br />

bouncy self, had gone off her food and developed<br />

a swelling under her throat. They bought her<br />

to the clinic and although on examination she<br />

seemed quite well she not only had enlarged<br />

lymph nodes around her neck but also around the<br />

front of her shoulders and at the back of her hind<br />

legs. Causes of this could be infection, an allergic<br />

reaction, immune mediated disease (where the<br />

body kills off its own cells) or cancer. Fine needles<br />

aspirates (FNA’s) were taken of Moya’s lymph<br />

nodes and sent to a veterinary laboratory. Taking<br />

an FNA is a painless procedure and in the majority<br />

of animals can be done without sedation. A small<br />

needle is inserted into the tissue that you want to<br />

sample and a small amount of cells are collected<br />

and put onto a slide.<br />

Unfortunately, the results that came back from the<br />

laboratory confirmed that Moya had a malignant<br />

form of cancer known as Lymphoma. This form of<br />

cancer is one of the most commonly seen in dogs<br />

and often involves multiple organs around the<br />

body. To find out where the cancer had spread to<br />

Moya had blood tests and thoracic and abdominal<br />

x-rays and ultrasound scans performed. The<br />

Lymphoma had spread to organs within her chest<br />

and abdomen as well as within her lymph nodes –<br />

she had high stage B cell-Lymphoma.<br />

The results were discussed with her owners who<br />

decided that they would like to go ahead with<br />

treating her further. With this type of Lymphoma<br />

treatment is not surgical, but medical; usually<br />

with chemotherapy. We are in contact with a<br />

number of specialist Veterinary Oncology<br />

clinics in Australia and we<br />

contacted them straight away.<br />

Within 24 hours they had<br />

produced an entire report on<br />

Moya, her cancer and different<br />

chemotherapy options that<br />

they recommended. These<br />

treatment options varied<br />

from palliative care with<br />

steroids through to multidrug<br />

chemotherapy options.<br />

Moya’s family decided to go<br />

ahead with the preferred<br />

primary treatment option<br />

lasting 15 weeks.<br />

Moya started her<br />

chemotherapy the following<br />

day coming into the clinic<br />

every Friday for a blood<br />

test to check her red and<br />

white blood cell levels and for<br />

administration of her drugs<br />

intravenously. Throughout the<br />

entire duration of treatment,<br />

she was very well behaved and<br />

tolerated the chemotherapy<br />

drugs extremely well, with<br />

hardly any noticeable side<br />

effects. She was always ready<br />

for her treats and walk after her<br />

drugs had been given!<br />

At the end of the 15 weeks<br />

Moya was in complete remission<br />

and four weeks later still appears<br />

to be. Her owners report that<br />

she is better than ever and when she visited last<br />

week she was rolling around as normal for her<br />

tummy to be tickling whilst we were trying to<br />

take her blood test! There is a chance that the<br />

Lymphoma will come back but for the moment<br />

she is happy, has a new lease of life and is enjoying<br />

her time at home with her family.<br />

Informing a client that their special friend has<br />

a form of cancer, is one of the awful parts of<br />

my job. It is such a dreaded disease with often<br />

fatal consequences and often at the time of<br />

diagnosis, the disease has well advanced. Due<br />

to many cancers having<br />

malignant potential, speed<br />

of diagnosis and treatment<br />

is necessary to have any<br />

chance of remission. Many<br />

hard decisions have to be<br />

made and that is when you<br />

can rely on us to do our job.<br />

We have the necessary skills<br />

and diagnostics to diagnose<br />

the type of cancer your pet<br />

has and then we employ<br />

the specialized services of<br />

Oncology consultants in<br />

Australia to get the most<br />

successful chemotherapy<br />

protocol for your pet. That’s<br />

often the hardest part<br />

as the administration of<br />

chemotherapy usually goes<br />

really smoothly. Pets rarely<br />

have side effects, the drugs<br />

are painless if given properly,<br />

your pet is treated as an<br />

outpatient and we often see<br />

improvement quickly, if we are<br />

going to be successful. I have<br />

first hand experience in the<br />

process as my beautiful dog<br />

Lola developed kidney cancer<br />

last year and received four<br />

rounds of chemo. If anyone<br />

wants to discuss the process<br />

of cancer diagnosis and<br />

treatment for your pet, please<br />

give the clinic a call.<br />

AN OLD single-storey<br />

building has been<br />

transformed into a new<br />

two-storey retail and<br />

commercial centre.<br />

Designed by Cymon<br />

Allfrey Architects Ltd,<br />

a rebuilt retail centre in<br />

Hornby will feature a retail<br />

area on the first floor and a<br />

studio space on the second.<br />

The centre based on the<br />

intersection of Main South<br />

Rd and Garvins Rd will<br />

have a downstairs area<br />

housing a hairdresser, fish<br />

and chip shop and restaurant.<br />

Tenants for the retail<br />

centre are still being finalised.<br />

NAI Harcourts real estate<br />

agent Mike Tapley said<br />

the studio space on the second<br />

floor could be divided<br />

into a gym and office.<br />

He said the building was<br />

close to completion and<br />

was hoping to receive a<br />

code of compliance certificate<br />

from the city council<br />

over the next two weeks.<br />

The business owners<br />

Kaushik Nalin Patel and<br />

Manta Kaushik Patel<br />

applied for the resource<br />

COMING SOON: A newly-rebuilt double-storey<br />

retail centre is set to open in the next few weeks in<br />

Hornby.<br />

consent on March 10 last<br />

year.<br />

The former single<br />

building which housed a<br />

dairy, Thai restaurant and<br />

fish and chip shop was<br />

demolished so the new<br />

two-storey building could<br />

be rebuilt.<br />

Mr Tapely said the former<br />

building was “tacky as<br />

anything” and a “terrible<br />

old place” before it was<br />

demolished.<br />

The new centre leased<br />

by Harcourts will include<br />

associated car parking,<br />

48m 2 of signage and landscaping.<br />

Along the eastern side of<br />

the site will be car-parking<br />

and access both to Main<br />

South Rd and Garvins Rd<br />

with 17 on-site car-parking<br />

spaces.<br />

relationship<br />

property, employment law and resolving contractual<br />

and estate disputes.<br />

Mr Tapley said all traffic<br />

issues will be mitigated<br />

with a 10min car park<br />

outside the shop, car parks<br />

around the back of the<br />

building and down the<br />

road.<br />

The report prepared<br />

by traffic engineer Novo<br />

Group Ltd’s planner Andrew<br />

Fitzgerald said the<br />

proposal’s potential effects<br />

on the surrounding environment<br />

would be minor<br />

at most.<br />

Tap dancers’ amazing feat<br />

Car park price<br />

fair – varsity<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

YEARS OF training to<br />

transform his feet into musical<br />

instruments has paid off for<br />

18-year-old Josh Wadley.<br />

The former Burnside High<br />

School student claimed the<br />

top prize in tap dancing at the<br />

National Young Performer<br />

Awards.<br />

Josh won the overall prize<br />

of $5000, beating 49 of New<br />

Zealand’s top tap dancers aged<br />

15 to 21.<br />

“I think it went extremely<br />

well. I was very happy with<br />

how I danced and felt that I left<br />

everything I could on the stage.<br />

It was great to have my hard<br />

work pay off,” he said.<br />

Josh trained under Daniel<br />

Sintes and is now based in<br />

Sydney, where he’s studying<br />

a full-time dance course at<br />

performing arts centre, Village<br />

on Broadway.<br />

His next goal is to travel to<br />

the United States to take part<br />

in tap festivals, including the<br />

Los Angeles Tap Festival and<br />

TapCity in New York.<br />

“I am one day hoping to<br />

become a professional dancer<br />

touring the world performing in<br />

shows,” he said.<br />

Josh said he also enjoys<br />

teaching and would love to have<br />

his own dance school or show<br />

one day.<br />

His mother, Michelle Wadley,<br />

said her son had grown up with<br />

tap dancing but went over to<br />

Sydney to strengthen his other<br />

forms of dance.<br />

“He was extremely shy so<br />

I didn’t think he would ever<br />

dance on stage, but (he) proved<br />

me wrong,” she said.<br />

As part of the competition,<br />

each dancer was required to<br />

take part in a masterclass by the<br />

adjudicators, perform a threespeed<br />

dance solo and a solo of<br />

their own choice.<br />

Meanwhile, current Burnside<br />

High students Will Perkins and<br />

Bayley Graham, both 16, were<br />

awarded second and third place<br />

respectively.<br />

Both dancers said they felt the<br />

competition went well with Will<br />

winning $3000 in second place<br />

and Bayley winning $1500 in<br />

third.<br />

Will trained under JK Dance<br />

Works and Bayley with Jan<br />

Ruardy.<br />

In the future, Will is looking<br />

to compete in national dance<br />

championships, including<br />

Hollywood Bound in Australia,<br />

while Bayley is looking at<br />

competitions in Sydney and<br />

Melbourne.<br />

“I really like being in front<br />

of audiences so anything that<br />

makes me happy I love doing.<br />

So I’d like to keep it up,” Bayley<br />

said.<br />

Christchurch Tap Dancing<br />

Teachers’ Association president<br />

Tracey Wilson said the boys<br />

danced their hearts out.<br />

She said the city had six tap<br />

dancers at the competition and<br />

achieved an amazing feat by<br />

taking out the top three places.<br />

•From page 1<br />

Next year, students will be expected<br />

to pay $350 per year, $400<br />

per year in 2<strong>01</strong>8 and $475 in 2<strong>01</strong>9.<br />

Canterbury University staff will<br />

be expected to pay $600 next year,<br />

$800 in 2<strong>01</strong>8 and $1000 in 2<strong>01</strong>9.<br />

Ilam and Upper Riccarton Residents’<br />

Association chairman Peter<br />

Harding (right)<br />

said he felt sorry<br />

for the university<br />

having to resort to<br />

such extremes to<br />

attract revenue.<br />

“If I was brutally<br />

a measure of desperation on the<br />

university’s part.<br />

probably prefer not to do that. But<br />

I don’t think they believe they have<br />

any other choice,” he said.<br />

Waimairi Rd resident and member<br />

of the residents’ association<br />

Richard English said the increase<br />

would have ramifications on all<br />

affected parties.<br />

“It is certainly going to drive<br />

more people onto the street of<br />

course. From a resident’s point of<br />

view it is not helpful and some of<br />

the fees do seem to be quite steep,”<br />

he said.<br />

The resident association will hold<br />

a meeting to see what can be done<br />

about the issue.<br />

Spotted any lonely cones?<br />

There are a lot of lost, lonely road cones out there. We want to bring them home.<br />

We’re tidying up the streets as the SCIRT programme winds down.<br />

Please help us track down stray cones no longer on the job. We’ll put them back to<br />

work, or send them off to the giant cone melting pot in the sky.<br />

The CONEMOBILE is coming your way.<br />

SCIRT’s CONEMOBILE is hitting the streets to collect any road cones that have gone<br />

astray. Let us know if you’ve spotted a lost or wayward cone.<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

Focusing on the issues<br />

We will be<br />

asking the city<br />

councillors in<br />

the western<br />

area to give<br />

us their views<br />

on issues. This<br />

week Hornby<br />

councillor<br />

Jimmy Chen<br />

talks about being elected<br />

and what he intends to do<br />

over the next three years<br />

I would like to take this opportunity<br />

to express my sincere<br />

appreciation to the people of the<br />

Hornby Ward for voting for me<br />

once again and for giving me the<br />

opportunity to represent you on<br />

the city council.<br />

I received 3416 votes, and each<br />

of these votes represents the<br />

people of my community who<br />

showed trust in me, supported<br />

me and voted for me. I promise<br />

that I’ll continue do my best to<br />

serve you and to provide you<br />

with quality advice and information<br />

about the city council’s<br />

services.<br />

As a councillor for the next<br />

three years, I’ll focus on the following<br />

issues citywide:<br />

•Implementation of the housing<br />

policy – ensuring everyone<br />

has warm, dry, and affordable<br />

housing<br />

•Implementation of the multicultural<br />

strategy – I want to<br />

ensure every single person in the<br />

city has a sense of belonging<br />

•Build new cycleway facilities<br />

•Strengthening the international<br />

relationships between the<br />

city and our sister and friendly<br />

cities in tourism, international<br />

education, science and technology,<br />

economic development and<br />

cultural exchange<br />

At a local level for Hornby:<br />

•Build a new Hornby Library,<br />

service centre and south-west<br />

pool<br />

•Improve the traffic situation<br />

and ensure all pedestrians can<br />

cross the road safely<br />

•Clean drinking water – I want<br />

people to be able to turn on their<br />

tap and have no fear about it being<br />

unsafe to drink<br />

•Ongoing monitoring of the<br />

quarry issue (Canterbury Aggregate<br />

Producers Group resource<br />

consent application was refused<br />

by the joint Hearings Commissioners,<br />

and Isaac and Selwyn’s<br />

Quarry have logged appeals to<br />

the decision to refuse CAPG consent<br />

to quarry up to 4m into our<br />

groundwater in mid-September<br />

2<strong>01</strong>6)<br />

•Continue to monitor the issue<br />

of Templeton Golf Course land<br />

swap with an old quarry site<br />

•Continue to monitor the<br />

Ruapuna Noise Management<br />

Plan issue<br />

Other priorities:<br />

•I want the city council’s<br />

decision-making to be more open<br />

and transparent through the engagement<br />

and consultation with<br />

residents<br />

As you maybe aware, the vision<br />

of our city is a great place where<br />

people want to be; and the values<br />

of the city council is one team,<br />

making it happen with integrity<br />

and passion.<br />

I am genuinely looking<br />

forward to working together<br />

with the mayor, my fellow<br />

councillors, community board<br />

members and staff to serve our<br />

residents and to help in creating<br />

great benefits for this city and the<br />

community.<br />

FLAME FILES<br />

Remember the citywide<br />

ban on outside fires<br />

• By Mark Thomas – Fire<br />

Risk Management Officer<br />

SUPPOSEDLY WE’RE zeroing<br />

in on summer now although<br />

some days it certainly doesn’t<br />

feel like it.<br />

A reminder that in the city<br />

boundaries there is a permanent<br />

ban on outside fires and we’re<br />

sort of obliged to put any fire out<br />

that we’re called to.<br />

I say sort of obliged because<br />

our officers are generally pretty<br />

decent people and quite often<br />

leave a small fire like a brazier<br />

to the occupants to put out<br />

themselves rather than involve<br />

a high-revving fire pump and<br />

have firefighters stomp all over a<br />

section.<br />

They do this at the risk of<br />

being lied to and ignored. The<br />

second time called back to<br />

the same fire their attitude is<br />

generally much less obliging.<br />

Ducklings, a dog stuck in<br />

a fence and an injured swan<br />

featured in animal rescues<br />

carried out by city crews this<br />

week.<br />

For good measure they were<br />

again called to pluck a<br />

trapped drone from the top of<br />

a tree.<br />

These are sure to increase as<br />

aerial tools and toys become<br />

more and more prevalent. Just<br />

a word of advice to would-be<br />

pilots.<br />

There are an awful lot of trees<br />

that are much taller than our<br />

tallest ladder.<br />

Hornby Hub had an<br />

evacuation last Thursday<br />

evening, caused, it seems, by<br />

a spray tanning operation in a<br />

beauty shop setting off the fire<br />

detection system.<br />

WESTERN NEWS Tuesday <strong>November</strong> 1 2<strong>01</strong>6 7<br />

Readers respond to the<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> article<br />

on a proposed Lamb &<br />

Hayward funeral home to<br />

be established on Halswell<br />

Junction Rd<br />

Margaret and Tony Reiha<br />

– This is a residential area with<br />

beautiful homes – people have<br />

spent a lot of money to build a<br />

lovely home in a new area and<br />

this will bring the prices down<br />

considerably.<br />

The traffic will be horrific causing<br />

accidents at the roundabouts.<br />

We had considered shifting from<br />

our home in Westlake to the<br />

Longhurst area or surrounding<br />

areas to be a little closer to our<br />

family who also live in Longhurst<br />

and Halswell but most certainly<br />

wouldn’t entertain that area at all<br />

should this go ahead.<br />

This is residential not a business<br />

area. There are plenty of<br />

business areas for this funeral<br />

home to build on else where<br />

– who wants to be reminded<br />

daily of death and the increase<br />

in traffic every day. Think about<br />

all the little children as well and I<br />

understand a school is to be built<br />

across from this – no thanks.<br />

Stuart and Alison<br />

Westoby – Although not living<br />

in the immediate vicinity but a<br />

little further west along Halswell<br />

Junction Rd we have no objection<br />

to a funeral home being established.<br />

There are few funeral facilities<br />

in the Halswell area apart<br />

from local churches leading to<br />

considerable travel to attend most<br />

funerals. For people to claim<br />

“cultural values” and “religious<br />

beliefs” as a reason to oppose is<br />

frankly clutching at straws if this<br />

is the best reason they can come<br />

up with. Death occurs in all<br />

cultures and some sort of service<br />

or celebration of life usually takes<br />

place. This is another example of<br />

nimbyism at its worst.<br />

Gary Knight – In<br />

consideration of the majority of<br />

funeral homes situated in sites<br />

not encroaching on residential<br />

properties the proposed Lamb<br />

& Hayward addition to Halswell<br />

Junction Rd is a retrograde step.<br />

This insensitive siting will not<br />

only have a negative impact on resale<br />

value for adjacent homeowners,<br />

create congested traffic issues<br />

but is also demeaning for those<br />

having cultural values or religious<br />

beliefs opposing having a funeral<br />

home so close to a living area.<br />

In spite of parochial views by<br />

Lamb & Hayward noting the<br />

advantage of a funeral home<br />

and chapel within a community<br />

environment, the 500-strong petition<br />

opposing it would suggest<br />

otherwise.<br />

Given the myriad of land opportunities<br />

within a growing and<br />

expanding south-west surely an<br />

appropriate sector of land could<br />

be purchased by this commercial<br />

entity for the proposed 1222<br />

sq m funeral home comprising<br />

two chapels, memorial gardens ,<br />

lounge, administration block and<br />

a 181 car park site.<br />

Readers respond to<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong>’ article<br />

on the Quarryman’s Trail<br />

cycleway potentially<br />

removing car parks,<br />

changing speed limits and<br />

road layouts.<br />

James McKee – We think<br />

it’s a dumb idea and a total waste<br />

of funds. When the cyclists are<br />

charged for using the road then<br />

we should look at it.<br />

But they are a bunch of whining<br />

kids who want everything for<br />

free. The taxpaying road users are<br />

about to be screwed again and<br />

the ratepayers are screwed twice.<br />

Maybe the council can start licensing<br />

bikes and use the money<br />

for upgrades.<br />

Brian Roberts – With<br />

reference to the article in <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>News</strong> I have a few questions:<br />

1. Has anyone done any<br />

research into how many cyclists<br />

will use this facility. Will it be<br />

only on fine days and the car<br />

brought out for winter?<br />

2. Does it take the needs of<br />

cyclists to have two roundabouts<br />

removed and replaced with traffic<br />

lights when motorists have put up<br />

with the roundabouts for years?<br />

The bicycle lobbyists seem to<br />

think that the city can be taken<br />

back to the 1950s and we will all<br />

ride bikes again.<br />

Has no one told them that you<br />

can never go back. The car is here<br />

to stay and that is a fact of life.<br />

They give no thought to the<br />

old and infirm and their needs<br />

but only see the Holy Grail of<br />

a car-less society. It is time that<br />

some of them grew up.<br />

One hopes that common sense<br />

will prevail.<br />

Michael Brathwaite –<br />

Regarding the Quarryman’s<br />

Trail, while I do not object to<br />

cycle lanes in principle, I do<br />

object to the removal of any<br />

parking spaces, the closure of<br />

street entrances to motorists, and<br />

the lowering of speed limits.<br />

I am on a list of people to<br />

whom the city council is supposed<br />

to send emails regarding<br />

issues like this but, while they<br />

advise me of proposed changes<br />

in places to which I seldom go,<br />

such as Linwood, I never seem to<br />

hear about ones in my area, and<br />

I’m certain I heard nothing about<br />

this one.<br />

On Labour Day, when driving<br />

along Brougham St, I noticed<br />

Collins St had been closed. There<br />

had been a lot of discussion about<br />

it in the local papers recently and<br />

the community board recently<br />

asked the city council to lower<br />

the speed limit there.<br />

However, I suspect it has all<br />

been an orchestrated smokescreen,<br />

because when I rang the<br />

city council about it, I learned<br />

that they had decided in February<br />

to stop motorists turning<br />

into it to avoid the traffic jams<br />

where three lanes merge into two,<br />

and that it is to become part of a<br />

cycleway.<br />

I fully sympathise with shop<br />

owners who will lose business<br />

when customers can no longer<br />

park near their shops. They will<br />

probably be forced to cycle as<br />

they will not be able to afford to<br />

run cars anymore.<br />

Brightest young sporting talent<br />

THE 26 TH Zonta secondary schools<br />

sports awards dinner was held on<br />

Thursday night.<br />

The annual event, initiated by the<br />

Zonta Club of Christchurch South<br />

in 1990 to celebrate the sporting<br />

achievements of talented young<br />

Cantabrians, is a highlight of the year<br />

for award winners.<br />

For many, recognition at the awards<br />

heralds the beginning of long-standing<br />

and highly successful international<br />

careers.<br />

The judging of the awards was<br />

undertaken this year by Anita<br />

Sutherland, Mike De Bono, Jon Peters,<br />

MOST VALUABLE SPORTSMAN:<br />

Burnside High School first XV<br />

captain Cam Russell (right) took<br />

out the most valuable contribution<br />

to a team by a young sportsman<br />

award. Russell was the co-winner<br />

of this year’s UC Championship<br />

player of the year award. The<br />

flanker played well in excess of<br />

50 games for Burnside in his four<br />

seasons with the first XV. After first<br />

making the squad as a year 10<br />

student in 2<strong>01</strong>3, Russell went on to<br />

captain the team in 2<strong>01</strong>5. The year<br />

13 student has also been a part of<br />

the Crusaders Knights under-18<br />

development programme and<br />

this year helped Burnside win<br />

the South Island co-ed school<br />

championship.<br />

SPORTS<br />

finalists and winners from a total of<br />

150 nominations (counting teams as<br />

one) received from 21 schools in the<br />

Canterbury area, including Kaikoura,<br />

North Canterbury and the West Coast.<br />

Zonta International is a service<br />

organisation, made up of business and<br />

professional women, committed to raising<br />

the status of women worldwide.<br />

outstanding team of<br />

young sportswomen<br />

award. They shared the<br />

award with Villa Maria.<br />

Burnside won their<br />

second straight national<br />

title in Palmerston<br />

North in April. They<br />

defeated Tauranga<br />

Girls’ College in a tight<br />

four-set tournament<br />

final 3-1 (25-19, 25-27,<br />

25-22, 26-24).<br />

BEST SPORTSWOMAN: The ability to<br />

turn heads on the netball court and the<br />

water has seen St Margaret’s College<br />

student Lily Marshall (left) win the best<br />

all-round young sportswoman award.<br />

The highlight for Marshall came earlier<br />

in the year when she was named in<br />

the New Zealand secondary school<br />

netball team. The defender captained<br />

her school at the national secondary<br />

school tournament in Hutt Valley<br />

this month, where the team finished<br />

seventh. Marshall also represented<br />

St Margaret’s at this year’s Maadi Cup<br />

national secondary school rowing<br />

championship. She was part of the<br />

eight which finished second in the<br />

Levin Jubilee Cup final. The year 13<br />

student also competed in a four which<br />

finished in the top 10 at the regatta.<br />

honoured at 26th Zonta awards<br />

OUTSTANDING YOUNG SPORTSWOMEN: Villa Maria<br />

College’s first XI hockey team also won the most<br />

outstanding team of young sportswomen award after<br />

securing their first ever national title this year. In September,<br />

the team won the Christchurch schools’ premier league<br />

before capturing their maiden Federation Cup title in<br />

Auckland. The team had only one loss over the entire<br />

season against St Margaret’s College in the premier league.<br />

It was also the perfect farewell for six students who played<br />

their final season for the school.<br />

The St Andrew’s College clay target shooting team of Jacob<br />

Warnock, Lyndon Arundell, Jimmy Field, Mason Gardener<br />

and Laurence Arundell won the most outstanding team of<br />

young sportsmen award. They made history recently when<br />

they won the team points title at the New Zealand secondary<br />

school trap shooting championships. They scored 295/300<br />

points, which has never been achieved before.<br />

Middleton Grange student<br />

William Stedman took home<br />

two Zonta sports awards.<br />

Stedman won the award for<br />

most outstanding achievement<br />

by a young sportsman with a<br />

disability. He then received<br />

the biggest award – most<br />

outstanding achievement by a<br />

young sportsman specialising<br />

in one sport. The 16-year-old became a double<br />

Olympic medallist this year when he won bronze<br />

in both the men’s 400m T36 and men’s 800m T36<br />

final at the Rio Paralympics. Stedman, who has<br />

cerebral palsy, also competed in the long jump at<br />

Deputy principal Shane Morrow said it is a huge commitment<br />

of time and effort to get through to the gold award. “We’re<br />

very proud of their outstanding achievement,” he said. Last<br />

Replacement dentures<br />

now just a phone call<br />

away with 3D technology<br />

Keeping up-to-date with the latest<br />

techniques in denture technology is<br />

one of the keys to the success of John<br />

Batchelor’s company, Duchenne Dental, so<br />

it’s no surprise that John has been closely<br />

following the development of 3D printing<br />

of dentures and dental implants.<br />

“I knew it was something that would be<br />

of enormous benefit to our patients,” he<br />

explains. “When I was confident in the<br />

advanced technology and its affordability,<br />

then I knew it would be a good option.”<br />

His research took him to the bi-annual<br />

International Dental Show in Cologne and<br />

to some of the world’s leading dental and<br />

IT companies, helping John decide that the<br />

timing was right to bring this technology to<br />

New Zealand.<br />

“I formed relationships with leading<br />

companies in dental scanning technology<br />

and 3D printing in several countries. We<br />

now have the technology and expertise to<br />

ensure our clients here in New Zealand<br />

receive world class treatment and<br />

products.”<br />

Unexpected client benefits<br />

Duchenne now 3D print all their chrome<br />

frames and partial bases, and have also<br />

started using 3D print technology in full<br />

upper and lower dentures.<br />

John says there are numerous benefits<br />

to Duchenne’s clients, including<br />

providing patients with a quicker and<br />

more economical service, and dentures<br />

and implants that are more accurate and<br />

personalised.<br />

“A bonus is that all models are stored<br />

digitally so wherever you are, if you need<br />

a replacement denture or tooth, we can<br />

quickly and easily print one. And in many<br />

cases patients don’t even need to visit the<br />

surgery!”<br />

Duchenne Dental has manufactured over<br />

300 partial dentures and both they and<br />

their patients are delighted with the results.<br />

Arthritis, it could surprise you!<br />

Pine bark may support brain<br />

function<br />

Recent news from Auckland University<br />

of Technology has people excited about a<br />

pine bark extract called Enzogenol. AUT<br />

reported that patients suffering memory<br />

loss and other brain problems after a<br />

traumatic brain injury recovered better<br />

when taking Enzogenol compared to a<br />

control group.<br />

Enzogenol is not a new product, though.<br />

In fact, it was developed at Canterbury<br />

University and has been in our health<br />

food shops for over 10 years. According to<br />

ENZO Nutraceuticals, the company that<br />

produces the product, a number of research<br />

studies have shown how Enzogenol can<br />

help improve brain function and support<br />

healthy blood circulation.<br />

The amazing thing is, it is made from<br />

the bark of New Zealand Pinus Radiata<br />

with an extraction method that uses only<br />

purified water. Apparently, the pine bark<br />

is full of healthy plant compounds that<br />

are naturally part of our diet when we eat<br />

fruits and vegetables. Yet, the pine bark is<br />

loaded with these natural antioxidant and<br />

anti-inflammatory compounds and makes<br />

a great starting material for this health<br />

product. Keen on a chewing a bit of pine<br />

bark?<br />

“Treadle” for<br />

Healthy Feet<br />

“Treadling” on an Aircycle circulation booster is a highly effective<br />

way to keep your feet healthy,” says Lynne Taylor, Manager of<br />

Diabetes Christchurch.<br />

Maintaining good blood<br />

flow in the feet is key to<br />

preventative foot care<br />

and is simple with an<br />

Aircycle. The “treadle”<br />

exercise works the calf<br />

muscles and pumps the<br />

blood.<br />

“It’s in our feet that<br />

arthritis, complications of<br />

diabetes, including nerve,<br />

neuropathy and circulatory<br />

disorders often show up,”<br />

says Lynne. ”It’s important<br />

to heed the first signs, as<br />

loss of feeling can mean<br />

abrasions, ulcers and<br />

other foot problems go<br />

undetected or do not<br />

heal, sometimes leading<br />

to amputation”.<br />

blood flow with the<br />

Enzogenol, is a potent natural antioxidant & anti-inflammatory, produced<br />

from an extract of the New Zealand pine bark. In one study researchers<br />

concluded it can reduce the average age of the brain by 12 years in as<br />

little as 5 weeks. Studies show it can improve response time as well as<br />

long & short term memory, concentration & brain performance. Enzogenol<br />

also helps protect the body from the aging process, including supporting<br />

the cardiovascular, nervous system & improving recovery after illness.<br />

ENZO:PROFESSIONAL contains 240mg of Enzogenol + 30mg Vitamin C.<br />

It is the most potent Enzogenol formula available.<br />

Improve Prostate<br />

Health Naturally!<br />

The prostate is a small<br />

walnut shaped male organ<br />

located beneath the urinary<br />

bladder and wrapped around<br />

the urethra or urinary tube.<br />

It is of little significance for<br />

most men until the late 40’s<br />

when for a large percentage<br />

of men it tends to enlarge<br />

and affect normal urination<br />

by restricting flow through the<br />

urethra. This condition is known<br />

as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH.<br />

BPH reduces the ability of the bladder<br />

to evacuate completely causing common<br />

symptoms like wanting to urinate more<br />

frequently (especially annoying at night<br />

and as it affects sleep quality), difficulty<br />

starting urination, dribbling after urination<br />

and pain with urination.<br />

The word benign in BPH is very<br />

significant as it means an enlargement of<br />

the prostate that isn’t cancer. However BPH<br />

should always be diagnosed by a M.D.,<br />

as there is always the chance of prostate<br />

cancer. Once diagnosed as BPH it can often<br />

be managed quite well with herbal and<br />

nutritional remedies and without the side<br />

effects of prescription drugs used for this<br />

condition.<br />

Saw Palmetto is a herb that has been<br />

used for centuries for BPH of the prostate.<br />

A review of 18 doubleblinded<br />

studies found an<br />

average improvement of 72%<br />

of BPH symptoms in Saw<br />

Palmetto users. Researchers<br />

have found Saw Palmetto<br />

to inhibit the formation of<br />

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)<br />

and DHT is the main reason<br />

for the prostate to enlarge, and<br />

to be a risk factor for prostate<br />

cancer and hair loss.<br />

Phellodendron amurense inner bark is<br />

another herb that has been found to protect<br />

against BPH and recent research has shown<br />

it to be protective against prostate tumor<br />

development in laboratory studies.<br />

Lycopene is a potent antioxidant with<br />

numerous health benefits including cancer<br />

and BPH protective benefits.<br />

Fatty acids from the seeds of Pumpkin,<br />

Evening Primrose and Flax have been<br />

shown to be supportive of prostate and<br />

general good health.<br />

healthy urinary flow in those diagnosed with BPH. It is unique in the fact the<br />

nutrients are in liquid dispersion as well as concentrated extract form.<br />

Serving Canterbury for 33 years<br />

THE ABBA Show jets in for a full national<br />

tour this month, playing at the Isaac Theatre<br />

Royal on Wednesday 9th <strong>November</strong>.<br />

Following more than 4000 international<br />

performances to date, including recent tours of<br />

North America and South Africa, the show’s<br />

NZ tour will take in an exhausting 22 different<br />

venues in just 34 days.<br />

Far from being ‘just another cover band’,<br />

The ABBA Show is a full-scale concert<br />

experience and stage show featuring 2.5 hours<br />

of live musical performance with a live band,<br />

replica costumes, theatrical lighting and effects,<br />

and all the ABBA hits. And despite Mamma<br />

Mia (the musical) still doing the rounds,<br />

promoter John Van Grinsven from Showtime<br />

Australia is confident that fans will recognize<br />

the distinct and worthwhile experience that<br />

The ABBA Show offers.<br />

“They’re completely different shows.<br />

Mamma Mia is a great musical but The ABBA<br />

Show does more of an authentic concert<br />

experience. We’ve worked really hard to make<br />

it just the way the fans will remember it if they<br />

were lucky enough to see the originals perform<br />

live. It really is a unique show.”<br />
