Homestead.<br />

Mona Vale restoration<br />

‘sentimental’ for Gough<br />

• By Caitlin Miles<br />

TEN YEARS ago Jamie Gough<br />

held his 21st celebrations at Mona<br />

Vale Homestead and his mother,<br />

Helen, donated a park bench in his<br />

name.<br />

Yesterday, the city councillor<br />

was back to cut the ribbon, for the<br />

opening of the historic building.<br />

Originally built in 1899, the<br />

homestead had to be restored after<br />

the September 4, 2010, and February<br />

22, 2011, earthquakes, severely<br />

damaged it.<br />

The link to the homestead goes<br />

as far back as Cr Gough’s greatgrandfather.<br />

Tracy Thomas Gough, purchased<br />

the property in the 1930s and later<br />

sold it. He added the guest house<br />

at the west entrance and offered it<br />

free of charge to the city council<br />

as a place of residence for visiting<br />

dignitaries.<br />

Cr Gough’s parents got engaged<br />

and had their wedding reception<br />

at the homestead, while earlier this<br />

year Cr Gough had his wedding<br />

photos taken in the grounds.<br />

With a long-standing family<br />

connection to the property, Cr<br />

Gough said it was a “sentimental”<br />

day.<br />

“It was very special to open my<br />

great-grandfather’s home. I think<br />

if he had been here today he would<br />

have been pretty chuffed,’’ he said.<br />

Restoration work was carried<br />

out on the fernery, bathhouse, and<br />

lodge as part of the $2.8 million<br />

project.<br />

Different parts of the grounds<br />

and buildings have been completed<br />

at various times, with the homestead<br />

being the second to last part<br />

of the project to be completed. The<br />

gatehouse is still being restored.<br />

HORNBY IS booming.<br />

And it is no surprise since the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquakes<br />

gutted the central city of 50,000<br />

workers combined with many<br />

eastern suburbs residential redzoners<br />

also opting to move west.<br />

With all this population movement<br />

comes retail needs including<br />

supermarkets, and this has been<br />

responsible for the retail boom out<br />

Hornby way.<br />

Reporter Gabrielle Stuart looks<br />

into the latest data released from<br />

Infometrics that predicts that<br />

south-west of the city, including<br />

Hornby, is expected to have the<br />

third highest population growth<br />

over seven years.<br />

It is fantastic to hear from the<br />

retailers she speaks to that, that<br />

they are opting for Hornby instead<br />

of Merivale and the likes. Check<br />

out their reasons on page 5.<br />

Bus route winners, losers<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

FRUSTRATED Greycliffe St<br />

residents will no longer have<br />

to put up with buses driving<br />

through their quiet street.<br />

But the burden has now been<br />

passed onto residents on Murphys<br />

Rd instead.<br />

The Greater Christchurch<br />

Public Transport Committee on<br />

Wednesday to approved an extension<br />

of the Orange Line bus<br />

service through the residential<br />

area of Murphys Rd.<br />

In September <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

reported the buses were a contentious<br />

issue with Greycliffe<br />

St residents who did not want<br />

buses travelling along their quiet<br />

residential street.<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

asked for public feedback on the<br />

proposed Orange Line extension.<br />

Documents show a battle between<br />

Greycliffe St and Murphy<br />

Rd residents to keep the buses<br />

off their respective streets.<br />

Out of 134 submissions made,<br />

51 per cent voted for the bus to<br />

go through Murphys Rd while<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

FORTY DANCERS from a<br />

Sockburn ballet school were<br />

selected to perform with<br />

the Imperial Russian Ballet<br />

Company last weekend.<br />

Dancers from the Sharon<br />

Howells School of Ballet were on<br />

stage at the Isaac Theatre Royal<br />

in various roles as mice, horse<br />

riders, angels and gnomes.<br />

In the spirit of the festive season,<br />

the pupils aged 6-13 years<br />

and the Russian ballet company<br />

presented the Christmas story of<br />

The Nutcracker.<br />

Director Sharon Howells said<br />

her pupils were “very busy little<br />

bees” leading up to the show.<br />

She said the students had<br />

just one rehearsal before they<br />

performed on stage with the<br />

NOISY: Residents on Greycliffe St will no longer need to put<br />

up with buses going through their street, but the burden has<br />

instead been passed onto Murphys Rd residents.<br />

Russian ballet company.<br />

“It was wonderful. The kids<br />

were really good off stage and<br />

on stage. When you are in<br />

something like that you have to<br />

learn to adapt very fast. So the<br />

learning kerb was enormous for<br />

these children,” she said.<br />

She described The Nutcracker<br />

45 per cent voted for the bus to<br />

go through Greycliffe St. Two<br />

per cent voted neither option.<br />

Therefore Murphys Rd will<br />

have the extended bus route<br />

through their street.<br />

The route is via Patterson Tce,<br />

Alvaston Drive, Caulfield Ave<br />

through to Richmond Ave.<br />

Concerns raised from the submissions<br />

included buses speeding<br />

along Murphys Rd which<br />

is 70km/h, the drop in value of<br />

properties, and the buses creating<br />

noise.<br />

Greycliffe St resident Helen<br />

Smith, who lives near where it<br />

intersects with Murphys Rd,<br />

said she felt sorry for Murphys<br />

Rd residents.<br />

She said she thought the project<br />

was handled badly.<br />

It is not the first time the<br />

school has performed with the<br />

Russian Ballet company having<br />

already taken part in their production<br />

of Sleeping Beauty.<br />

“They are lovely. They are<br />

a company that reach out to<br />

Mrs Smith said her family will<br />

be moving out of the area due to<br />

the buses still being nearby and<br />

plans showing a bus stop is likely<br />

to be placed near her house with<br />

the new route.<br />

Originally the buses were<br />

planned to go along Hamill Rd<br />

onto Caulfield Ave and Richmond<br />

Ave.<br />

But buses could not turn properly<br />

on the corner of Hamill Rd<br />

and Caulfield Ave, which is the<br />

retail area of Longhurst.<br />

In 2014, a temporary route<br />

was created for the Orange Line<br />

because roads in the subdivision<br />

were not completed.<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

community board member Ross<br />

McFarlane said it was a “no-win”<br />

situation as people who bought<br />

houses on the street never<br />

envisaged buses to be near their<br />

homes.<br />

Ballet students perform with professionals<br />

children. As far as audience<br />

goes you will feel as if they have<br />

touched you. Their technique is<br />

one thing but they have a feeling<br />

they do it for the public,” Miss<br />

Howells said.<br />

The school was told by Imperial<br />

Russian Ballet Company<br />

deputy director coach Vitautas<br />

Taranda they were one of the<br />

best schools the company had<br />

worked with.<br />

She said her pupils were<br />

thrilled to perform three concerts<br />

after an extra show was<br />

added into the programme due<br />

to the support from audiences.<br />

The show is based on E.T.A.<br />

Hoffman’s story The Nutcracker<br />

and the King of Mice and tells<br />

the story of a young German<br />

girl who dreams of a Nutcracker<br />

Prince.<br />

In Brief<br />

PARKING RESTRICTIONS<br />

Parking restrictions are<br />

likely to be installed outside<br />

the former St Nicholas Care<br />

Home site. The restrictions<br />

would be placed along<br />

Kirkwood Ave, between Clyde<br />

Rd and the old St Nicholas<br />

Care Home site. The former<br />

hospital has been turned into<br />

Canterbury University student<br />

accommodation. The Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />

Board has put in a request to<br />

council staff to report back on<br />

the parking restrictions. It was<br />

to address residents’ concerns<br />

on the conversion of the care<br />

home into a student hostel. In<br />

February, 74 students will move<br />

in to the site for the academic<br />

year.<br />

LIQUOR STORE HEARING<br />

A hearing will be held<br />

after Riccarton residents<br />

raised concerns about the<br />

establishment of a new<br />

off-licence liquor store<br />

on 76 Riccarton Rd, next<br />

to the Ministry of Social<br />

Development’s Work and<br />

Income New Zealand. The<br />

application lodged by PM<br />

Liquors Ltd has been opposed<br />

by residents, the medical officer<br />

of health and police. <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>News</strong> reported in October<br />

residents were concerned about<br />

the number of liquor outlets<br />

based along Riccarton Rd and<br />

the close proximity to WINZ.<br />

The hearing will be held by the<br />

District Licensing Committee<br />

on February 17.<br />

BIRTHDAY EVENT<br />

Celebrations were held at Te<br />

Hapua: Halswell Centre on<br />

Saturday, after it turned one<br />

year old. Performances from<br />

Takumi Japanese drummers,<br />

storytimes for pre-schoolers<br />

and a performance from the<br />

Halswell Drama Group were<br />

part of the event. Planning for<br />

the $23 million centre began in<br />

Courtney McGregor<br />

Olympic gymnast returns home<br />

Courtney McGregor, 18, caught the nation’s<br />

attention at the Rio Olympics. Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

talked to the gymnast about how she found out<br />

she had been selected for Rio, the United States<br />

college system and what it’s like to be back home<br />

in Halswell again<br />

Hi Courtney, you’ve had an<br />

incredible year. What was it like<br />

competing at the Olympics?<br />

The Olympics was amazing.<br />

It was a lot of hard work to get<br />

there in the first place and I just<br />

hoped I’d be there. So to get on<br />

the team was amazing. We were<br />

aiming for top 16 and I managed<br />

13th and had no major mistakes<br />

so that was pretty awesome.<br />

How long has it been a dream<br />

for you to compete at the<br />

Olympics?<br />

Oh wow, for a long time.<br />

Definitely from a really young<br />

age, from maybe six or seven.<br />

I always thought I’d go to the<br />

Olympics, I always just assumed<br />

I’d go as kids do. I figured out as<br />

time went on that it was a little<br />

harder than I initially thought it<br />

was.<br />

And when did you actually<br />

think it was possible that you<br />

could become an Olympic<br />

athlete?<br />

I think it was at the 2015<br />

worlds’ competition. I did better<br />

than anyone thought. I think<br />

probably after that test event, I<br />

had to get a certain all-round<br />

score and when I got that I<br />

thought that it could be a possibility,<br />

but I still had to get a lot<br />

checked off. I still remember the<br />

call we got from the GymSport<br />

New Zealand chief executive<br />

officer; he told us we weren’t allowed<br />

to tell anyone and we had<br />

to Facetime (video call) him to<br />

find out whether I was in or out.<br />

He called my mum and I, and he<br />

told us I was going. I was only<br />

allowed to tell immediate family<br />

and it was at least three or four<br />

days walking around telling my<br />

school mates that I didn’t know<br />

yet before I could tell people.<br />

That must have been hard!<br />

What happened after you were<br />

selected for the team?<br />

I got flown up to Auckland<br />

where they announced the<br />

gymnastics team, all of us were<br />

announced. There was a lot of<br />

media there that day and we<br />

must have each told our life story<br />

about 10 times.<br />

Talking to other Christchurch<br />

gymnasts, they were all excited<br />

to hear you were on your way<br />

back from college in the United<br />

States. How do you handle<br />

being a role model for younger<br />

gymnasts?<br />

It’s pretty cool I think, and<br />

kind of surreal. I went into the<br />

Christchurch School of Gymnastics<br />

and all the wee kids were<br />

all excited and happy to see me<br />

which was cool. Then I went over<br />

to Olympia (Gymnastic Sports)<br />

to see a friend who is a coach<br />

there and I saw her little girls<br />

and they were all excited as well.<br />

You’re at home at the<br />

moment, but when that’s<br />

finished you’ll head back to the<br />

United States?<br />

Yes. At the moment I’m based<br />

over at Boise State University in<br />

the US on a gymnastics scholarship.<br />

So that starts back up in<br />

January, so I’ll be heading back<br />

over there soon.<br />

What are the big<br />

competitions you’ll be looking<br />

forward to in both college and<br />

New Zealand next year?<br />

Next year there is the 2017<br />

worlds in Montreal, Canada,<br />

which is kind of close to<br />

where I am. And also the<br />

Commonwealth Games in 2018.<br />

But I think that might interfere<br />

with some of the college events.<br />

So you might miss the<br />

Commonwealth Games? That’s<br />

a bit annoying?<br />

It’s just that it coincides with<br />

the college gymnastics season.<br />

TOP GYMNAST: Courtney McGregor is back in Halswell visiting<br />

family after representing New Zealand in the Rio Olympics.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

They always have regionals and<br />

nationals and that kind of thing<br />

at the end of their season so it<br />

might clash.<br />

What was seeing younger<br />

gymnasts at your old club like?<br />

It was pretty special. It’s kind<br />

of crazy that I now inspire the<br />

younger kids when I was in their<br />

shoes a few years ago. Some clubs<br />

haven’t had the most successful<br />

events recently, but they’ve got<br />

good programmes in place and<br />

I think they’ll be doing fine soon.<br />

Tell me a bit about some of<br />

the young kids’ reactions to<br />

seeing you?<br />

Some were really shy when<br />

they came up, but some were<br />

really confident. So it was quite<br />

funny seeing their reactions and<br />

quite cool that they look up to<br />

me.<br />

And are you studying a<br />

subject over at Boise State as<br />

well?<br />

Yes, I’m doing a lot of studying<br />

on general things, but I’m also<br />

doing health science. The set up<br />

is kind of different over there as<br />

compared to in New Zealand.<br />

So are you aiming to become<br />

a doctor or a surgeon or<br />

something like that?<br />

I’m not 100 per cent sure yet,<br />

but I might want to be a doctor.<br />

There’s so many schools over<br />

here I really don’t know which<br />

ones are the best for studying to<br />

be a doctor.<br />

In terms of your scholarship,<br />

what does that cover for you?<br />

It’s a full scholarship for<br />

all schooling, housing and<br />

everything. It’s pretty good to be<br />

honest.<br />

What school did you attend<br />

when you were in Christchurch?<br />

I was at Villa Maria College<br />

for most of it and I did<br />

correspondence for the last<br />

couple. I think that school<br />

is more important than<br />

gymnastics, as it was my top<br />

priority and correspondence<br />

allowed me to get on with my<br />

work and then I had time to do<br />

gym after. It just cut out all of the<br />

assemblies and hour-long lunch<br />

times and that kind of thing – it<br />

really worked for me.<br />

Did you get to meet quite a<br />

few famous people while you<br />

were over in Rio and at college?<br />

Yes definitely. Even in Rio<br />

I got to meet all the final five<br />

gymnasts and Simone Biles<br />

(all-round vault and floor gold<br />

medallist from the US) and<br />

everyone like that and I get to<br />

see them sometimes, because<br />

most of them are in college<br />

gymnastics now. When we were<br />

in Rio we trained with them all,<br />

we were in the same part of the<br />

Olympic Village as the American<br />

team which was great.<br />

Do you keep in touch with a<br />

few of them?<br />

Yes, we talk over social media<br />

sometimes which is nice.<br />

LICENSED SALES CONSULTANT REAA 2008<br />

With the family having left home this magnificent home is now simply too big for the vendor.<br />

Quintessentially Cashmere this superb home with sweeping views and all day sun will<br />

please the most discerning buyer. A superbly designed extension by Sheppard and Rout has<br />

resulted in a six bedroom, four bathroom, three living room home retaining the style and<br />

charm of its history whilst giving the benefit of modern day living.<br />

Step into the large elegant entranceway and on into the large family kitchen and dining<br />

room area featuring beautiful timber floors and then through to the family room. A large<br />

formal wood panelled lounge is a wonderful space to perhaps achieve a quiet area from the<br />

bustle of family life. The adjoining conservatory can also double as room for teenagers, being<br />

big enough to take a table tennis table. A media room complete with speakers, projector and<br />

screen is a great place to entertain family and friends, perhaps after a bbq and swim in the<br />

heated inground pool.<br />

But perhaps the real surprise lies at the top of the house. Here is a purpose-built workspace,<br />

generous in size and ideal for those who wish to work from home. There is room for three<br />

people to comfortably work plus storage space for samples or stock. Attention to detail<br />

continues even into laundry and a refrigerated cool room. The large private grounds are a joy<br />

for the gardener with expansive lawns and well established trees and shrubs. You can sit on<br />

the deck and admire your garden in these long summer days to come. There is so much to see<br />

in the house - call now to view your new home.<br />

Community garden to host festive dinner<br />

• By Fleur Mealing<br />

THIS YEAR the Riccarton West<br />

Community Garden will spread<br />

Christmas cheer through a<br />

shared festive dinner.<br />

The vision of garden<br />

management members Loretta<br />

and Nick Te Paa, is about<br />

helping their community come<br />

together during the holiday<br />

season.<br />

Around 100 people have been<br />

invited to the event.<br />

Each invitation was hand delivered<br />

by Mr Te Paa along with<br />

a parcel of vegetables from the<br />

garden.<br />

Since 2013 the community<br />

garden on Peverel St had supplied<br />

vegetables to the elderly<br />

and families in need in the community.<br />

The group works in association<br />

with Oak Development Trust<br />

which is managed by Carol<br />

Renouf.<br />

Mrs Renouf said the idea was<br />

“absolutely fantastic”.<br />

“We will celebrate<br />

Christmas together as a community.”<br />

The meal will be a chance to<br />

put a spotlight on the value of<br />

the community garden and its<br />

volunteers.<br />

The land where they grow the<br />

vegetables has been loaned by<br />

Housing New Zealand on a year<br />

to year basis.<br />

The dinner on December 9<br />

will feature a range of fruit and<br />

vegetables grown in the garden<br />

as well as a ham donated by<br />

Countdown.<br />

Business owners laud Hornby<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart and<br />

Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THE HORNBY area was once<br />

considered low-end – but now<br />

business owners say they would<br />

rather be based there than<br />

in places like Merivale or the<br />

central city.<br />

Kelvin Yang opened his<br />

Cheeky Sparrow café in newly<br />

expanded The Hub Hornby mall<br />

a month ago.<br />

It is one of many businesses<br />

which have relocated to the<br />

south-west of the city since the<br />

earthquakes, and a new report<br />

by data and economic analysis<br />

company Infometrics has predicted<br />

the boom will continue.<br />

It predicts the number of<br />

people living between Halswell<br />

and Darfield will grow 85 per<br />

cent by 2023, making it the<br />

third-fastest growing region in<br />

the country.<br />

Mr Yang said he was tossing<br />

up between opening in Merivale,<br />

the inner city or the Hornby<br />

area.<br />

He chose Hornby because it<br />

was a better place for a new business<br />

to build a loyal customer<br />

base, he said.<br />

“Being a new brand competing<br />

with established brands<br />

in Merivale is hard. But in a<br />

newer area as a more recently<br />

established brand, if it is locally<br />

owned and good quality, people<br />

like that and they will give it a<br />

go,” he said.<br />

He said the rents were pretty<br />

similar when comparing the<br />

three locations, so that was not<br />

much of a factor.<br />

PREFERRED: When looking for a site for his new cafe, The Cheeky Sparrow, Kelvin Yang chose<br />

The Hub Hornby over similar-priced sites in Merivale and the central city, because of the<br />

growing community.<br />

Current listings on Trade Me<br />

for retail sites include a 178 sq m<br />

space at Cathedral Junction for<br />

$60,000 per year, a 239 sq m site<br />

off Main South Rd in Hornby for<br />

just under $60,000, and a 188<br />

sq m shop in Fendalton village<br />

for $66,000.<br />

SmartyPants children’s clothing<br />

shop owner Sarah Schaap<br />

also chose to base her business<br />

in the west side of the city, over<br />

other areas.<br />

Her shop is currently based<br />

LAWyerS<br />

on Nottingham Ave in Halswell,<br />

and she plans to move to Wigram<br />

early next year.<br />

She considered Papanui or<br />

Merivale when searching for a<br />

new shop, but said the traffic issues<br />

in the area put her off.<br />

Wigram was easily accessible,<br />

was drawing growing numbers<br />

of young families and was a<br />

strong community, she said.<br />

“There’s quite a nice community<br />

type feeling, so I’m keen<br />

to be there. It’s a communityfocused<br />

type place, where people<br />

want to shop locally, they don’t<br />

want to go to a mall,” she said.<br />

The report singled out<br />

Halswell and Wigram as areas<br />

where there was likely to be a lot<br />

of commercial growth, because<br />

of “unexpected” population<br />

growth.<br />

It predicted Wigram would<br />

need a high school soon, as well<br />

as more services and commercial<br />

spaces in the wider area.<br />

“Over the longer-term, development<br />

along Springs Rd is<br />

likely to see Prebbleton, in particular,<br />

become more and more<br />

like a suburb of Christchurch,” it<br />

predicted.<br />

Halswell Community Project<br />

chairwoman Chrys Horn said<br />

the growth was not unexpected,<br />

but had happened faster than<br />

expected.<br />

“I think the subdivisions<br />

where there is a lot of high<br />

density is great, but they really<br />

need to be backed up with places<br />

where people can work and shop<br />

and we are lacking that, and we<br />

have enormous traffic problems,”<br />

she said.<br />

Hornby Quadrant development<br />

manager Kevin Arthur<br />

said there had been huge<br />

demand for commercial sites in<br />

the development, which runs<br />

between Main South Rd and<br />

Springs Rd.<br />

But although it was driven by<br />

demand, a lot of the growth was<br />

due to the sped-up consenting<br />

process which made expanding<br />

west much easier, he said.<br />

“We were eyeing Hornby for<br />

10 years plus prior to the earthquakes,<br />

but to get planning consent<br />

for industrial development<br />

takes an awfully long time. In<br />

one case it took us seven years.<br />

This short-circuited the whole<br />

system,” he said.<br />

SPORTS<br />

HITTING OUT: James Pearson scored 65, his first senior half century, in<br />

Halswell’s loss to Sumner on Saturday.<br />

PHOTO: JUNE PEARSON<br />

Halswell make final of<br />

one-day knockout cup<br />

HALSWELL WILL face<br />

off against Hornby in the<br />

final of the Chairman’s<br />

Cup knockout one-day<br />

cricket competition on<br />

Waitangi weekend after<br />

beating Merivale Papanui<br />

at Edgar MacIntosh Park<br />

on Sunday.<br />

Merivale Papanui batted<br />

first, finishing on 169/8<br />

from 40 overs. Hunter<br />

Rowe (2-20) and Leighton<br />

Johnston (2-43) were<br />

the best of the Halswell<br />

bowlers.<br />

Steve Golding then<br />

starred for Halswell with<br />

the bat; his 71 not out<br />

guiding his team to 170/5.<br />

The result was<br />

contrasted by the previous<br />

day when Halswell lost its<br />

Skilton Trophy one-day<br />

match against Sumner at<br />

St Leonards Park.<br />

Halswell batted first after<br />

winning the toss and got<br />

off to a solid start, reaching<br />

40/1 after 13 overs, but<br />

then lost three wickets for<br />

10 runs to be 50/4.<br />

Blair Cotching then hit<br />

three sixes and a four in a<br />

quick 22 but, when he got<br />

out, Halswell lost another<br />

three wickets for five runs<br />

to be 86/7.<br />

BIG DEFENCE: The Riccarton Knights won<br />

the Queenstown Nines Carnival in dramatic<br />

fashion at the weekend, with extra time<br />

required. After making their way through<br />

pool the Knights ran into the Hornby<br />

Panthers in the semi-final. The Knights<br />

13-4 victory more than made up for the<br />

heartbreak of 2015 which saw they fall to the<br />

Panthers in the tournament final. The Knights<br />

met the East Coast Eagles in the tournament<br />

final after the Eagles accounted for the<br />

Linwood Keas 26-13 in the other semi-final.<br />

The tournament final was a nail-biter. With<br />

the scores locked at 8-8 at full time the<br />

tournament would be decided by a golden<br />

point try. The Knights held their nerve to<br />

win 12-8 in extra time and in the process<br />

captured their first Queenstown Nine title.<br />

James Pearson batted<br />

well to score his first senior<br />

half century and pushed<br />

Halswell to 185 with<br />

Pearson being the last man<br />

out on 65.<br />

Halswell started well in<br />

the field having Sumner<br />

7/2 but the home side<br />

batted very well, rotating<br />

the strike and putting<br />

away the loose ball to the<br />

boundary, on the way to<br />

186/4.<br />

Dayle Eathorne (2-28<br />

from eight overs) and<br />

Johnston (1-12 from nine<br />

overs) were the best of the<br />

Halswell bowlers.<br />

NATIONAL STAGE: Christchurch Boys’ High School head to Auckland this<br />

week for the Condor Sevens tournament. The current UC Championship<br />

title holders qualified for the countries national secondary school sevens<br />

tournament after making it to the final of the regional sevens competition<br />

at Hoon Hay Park earlier this month. They will joined by Timaru Boys’ High<br />

School who qualified as the second Canterbury school. The three day<br />

tournament begins on Friday at Sacred heart College. Christchurch BHS will<br />

play St Patrick’s Town, Thames High School and St Paul’s College in pool play.<br />

Pupils benefit<br />

from new sports<br />

field donation<br />

WHARENUI, RICCARTON and<br />

Hornby Primary Schools are three of 11<br />

primary schools in Canterbury to have<br />

been gifted new sports turfs.<br />

SKY Television has gifted the turfs to<br />

schools that lost or incurred significant<br />

damage to playing fields in the earthquakes.<br />

Worth almost $20,000 each, the turfs<br />

are part of the company’s $1 million, fiveyear<br />

commitment to help repair the city.<br />

SKY director of corporate communication<br />

Kirsty Way said the turfs would<br />

make a big difference to the schools.<br />

“It is very important for children to be<br />

active and outdoors and Sport Canterbury<br />

can use these turfs to help develop<br />

new programmes to increase sports<br />

participation,” she said.<br />

Sport Canterbury chief executive Julyan<br />

Falloon said the donation will allow his<br />

organisation to deliver new activities to<br />

the mostly low-decile schools.<br />

“A number of schools lost their outdoor<br />

play areas in the earthquakes. In addition,<br />

population shifts meant some schools<br />

saw their decile rating change, which<br />

meant they lost funding, while others<br />

had an influx of pupils, resulting in new<br />

buildings taking up space on the playing<br />

fields,” said Falloon.<br />

The other schools which received<br />

turfs were Linwood North, South<br />

New Brighton, Northcote, Waltham,<br />

Bishopdale, Papanui, Rolleston and<br />

Kaiapoi Borough.<br />

SKY’s $1 million commitment to the<br />

Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust<br />

saw it give $200,000 to repair Garrick<br />

Park, Woolston, in 2013.<br />

Fire Service staff<br />

remain in quake<br />

recovery mode<br />

Fire risk management<br />

officer Mark Thomas talks<br />

about the Fire Service’s<br />

duties in Kaikoura and<br />

Waiau, as well as some<br />

incidents in the city<br />

It’s certainly very different<br />

this time. Christchurch city is<br />

back to normal and, for most<br />

people, it’s business as usual.<br />

But Waiau and Kaikoura are<br />

definitely part of our fire region<br />

and we have a considerable<br />

number of staff on the ground<br />

up there.<br />

Our Regional Control Centre<br />

remains open and operating<br />

and local staff are picking up<br />

heaps of overtime to cover the<br />

absence of those working on the<br />

earthquake.<br />

So it’s a matter of juggling<br />

normal work and quake work<br />

for those of us doing both. The<br />

up-side is that Christchurch has<br />

not had a terribly busy week.<br />

Car crashes were quite high,<br />

however, including one at Ferry<br />

Rd and Ensors Rd on Sunday<br />

evening, in which 11 people<br />

were hurt, nine requiring transport<br />

to hospital.<br />

As usual, animal rescues became<br />

our responsibility with a<br />

cat stuck in a fence in Waltham<br />

last Friday and a dog stuck<br />

down a cliff in Dyers Pass Rd on<br />

Monday.<br />

In both cases, firefighters<br />

were rewarded for their efforts<br />

by the victims immediately<br />

bolting once back on flat<br />

ground. Ungrateful, but not<br />

unexpected, I suppose.<br />

A classic kitchen fire was<br />

averted by luck in Sydenham on<br />

Saturday, when a shift worker<br />

returned home very late, put<br />

food on to cook and promptly<br />

fell asleep on the couch.<br />

A smoke alarm did its job and<br />

only smoke damage occurred.<br />

Without the smoke alarm? Well<br />

who knows? Tired or tiddly going<br />

home to cook is not recommended.<br />

Indulge yourself, buy<br />

takeaways.<br />

Templeton golf course plan<br />

Hornby city<br />

councillor Jimmy<br />

Chen writes<br />

about the recent<br />

independent<br />

hearings<br />

panel decision<br />

regarding Fulton<br />

Hogan quarrying at the<br />

Templeton golf course<br />

I would like to take this opportunity<br />

to share with you an<br />

update regarding Hornby Ward<br />

residents’ concerns about the<br />

Templeton golf course becoming<br />

a new quarry and an old Fulton<br />

Hogan (FH) quarry site being<br />

used for a new golf course.<br />

The city council has received<br />

decisions from the independent<br />

hearings panel on the following<br />

matters to replace some of the<br />

provisions of the Christchurch<br />

City District Plan and the Banks<br />

Peninsula District Plan.<br />

Decision 34: Chapter 17 – Rural<br />

– Stage 2 (and relevant definition<br />

and associated planning maps).<br />

. Decision 35: Chapter 18 – Open<br />

space – Stage 2 and 3 (and relevant<br />

definitions)<br />

Both the open space (decision<br />

35) and rural (decision 34) decisions<br />

contain commentary and<br />

district plan policies and rules<br />

which would enable (1) a new golf<br />

course on the old quarry site; and<br />

(2) a new quarry on the existing<br />

golf course site.<br />

That new zoning (or zone swap)<br />

can only occur if the following<br />

three conditions are met before<br />

December 31, 2021, when Fulton<br />

Hogan seeks and gains approval<br />

for a reserve exchange under the<br />

Reserve Act; Fulton Hogan obtains<br />

resource consent to clear the<br />

existing significant indigenous<br />

vegetation on the golf course<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

site and, finally, Fulton Hogan<br />

or Templeton Golf Club deliver<br />

an executed contract to build a<br />

new international standard golf<br />

course and other facilities on the<br />

quarry site. If those conditions<br />

are met and the new zoning takes<br />

effect, Fulton Hogan still requires<br />

resource consent for the new<br />

Shops bursting with<br />

festive gift ideas<br />

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making<br />

up the Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you<br />

haven’t already done so.<br />

Finding those special gifts and stocking<br />

fillers as well as the Christmas treats for<br />

the table is so easy at our city’s malls and<br />

shopping centres, where the shops are<br />

bursting with festive merchandise.<br />

Every woman likes to receive bodypampering<br />

gifts, and there is a huge<br />

selection of these priced to suit all budgets<br />

at the many pharmacies and gift shops<br />

around the city. Perfume is another<br />

favourite and again there is a wide<br />

selection to choose from, ranging from<br />

exciting new releases to the well-known<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time.<br />

Lingerie, jewellery, fashion accessories,<br />

homewares and decor items – there’s no<br />

end to the ideas for the women on the list.<br />

The men are equally well catered for, from<br />

the sophisticated metro-male boyfriends,<br />

to the car-crazy brothers and the DIY<br />

enthusiast and keen gardener husbands<br />

and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />

tools, personal grooming items and<br />

gadgets to put a smile on their face on<br />

Christmas morning.<br />

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families<br />

more joy than seeing the excitement<br />

of the children opening their presents.<br />

Whether they are delivered by Santa or<br />

snuck under the tree by mum and dad,<br />

the cuddly toys, games, dolls and building<br />

blocks, the candy canes, toy trucks and<br />

pretty dresses currently filling the shops<br />

will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />

the smallest family members.<br />

The tweens and teens usually have their<br />

own ideas about what they want for<br />

Christmas, so the gift cards offered by a<br />

wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />

to please.<br />

Christmas<br />

Creative wrapping<br />

adds intrigue to gifts<br />

Most of the malls offer a free gift-wrapping service, which<br />

is a great help at this busy time, but for those who prefer<br />

to wrap their own here are a few ideas to make gifts look<br />

unique and exciting.<br />

The first tip to make the job easier and<br />

the wrapping look more professional is to<br />

do the task on a flat surface – a table or a<br />

hard floor.<br />

Recycling has become an important<br />

aspect of modern-day life, and that’s easy<br />

to do with gift-wrapping. For example,<br />

those brown paper bags you have put<br />

aside are ideal, especially for odd-shaped<br />

gifts. To give them a Christmassy look,<br />

you could glue on those left-over pieces<br />

of wrapping paper from last year that are<br />

too small to use, and add a candy cane or<br />

chocolate with the gift tag.<br />

Another quirky idea is to wrap your gifts<br />

in fabric. You could cut up a garment you<br />

no longer wear, or look out those left over<br />

pieces from curtains or clothing you have<br />

made. Tie them up with fabric ribbon to<br />

complete the look.<br />

in <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

Using newspaper or cardboard boxes as<br />

wrapping is another recycling idea, and<br />

you could add a festive look by tying<br />

them with Christmas ribbon.<br />

For long-shaped gifts, why not wrap them<br />

to look like a Christmas cracker. Place a<br />

tube of cardboard around the item, then<br />

put it inside a sheet of wrapping paper,<br />

secure it with tape then scrunch up the<br />

ends like a cracker and tie them off with<br />

coloured ribbon.<br />

Kitchen foil is another wrapping option.<br />

Being silver and shiny it already has a<br />

festive look, which you could enhance<br />

with bright-coloured ribbon.<br />

Make a container, such as a jar, tin or<br />

tray one part of the gift. Complete it with<br />

chocolates, nuts or biscuits and wrap the<br />

gift in clear cellophane tied with brightcoloured<br />

ribbon.<br />

Experts restore that<br />

“winning smile”<br />

MEETING PEOPLE for the first time,<br />

interacting with others on social occasions,<br />

going for a job interview - in all these<br />

situations your smile is the most important<br />

part of you.<br />

Or perhaps, on a lighter note, you<br />

might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’<br />

because your smile is not as attractive as it<br />

should be, due to missing or broken teeth.<br />

Perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture<br />

South in Barrington, where the experts can<br />

give you that winning smile back.<br />

Clinical dental technician, Andrew<br />

Johnson and associate Janice ling can<br />

provide you with a highly personalised<br />

experience. We have a lot of knowledge<br />

and experience that can help guide you<br />

through the process.<br />

For people who have had dentures for a<br />

while and are finding they frequently need<br />

to buy denture adhesive to keep them in<br />

place, Andrew advises having the dentures<br />

relined so they will fit better. As he points<br />

out, the money spent on denture adhesive<br />

over 12 months would easily cover the cost<br />

of having your dentures refitted.<br />

Denture South has been providing a full<br />

range of denture services for the residents<br />

of Christchurch for over 13 years. These<br />

services include first-time immediate<br />

dentures, full replacement dentures, partial<br />

plates and sports mouth-guards.<br />

Many Denture South clients come<br />

through word-of-mouth referral, an<br />

indication of the level of satisfaction that’s<br />

provided there. Coming into Christmas<br />

we will be open and available for all<br />

adjustments for our existing patients in the<br />

final week, making for a great Christmas.<br />
