JUNIOR EEL: Joseph Taipari has made the NRL club’s junior team after relocating to Sydney late<br />

last year.<br />

Hornets teen scores Eels spot<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

PROMISING Halswell Hornets<br />

scrum-half Joseph Taipari has<br />

got his big Sydney rugby league<br />

break.<br />

The 17-year-old has been<br />

named in the Parramatta Eels<br />

junior squad for the <strong>2017</strong> season.<br />

Taipari left for Sydney last year<br />

to join the Eels set up on a permanent<br />

basis and push his case<br />

for selection in the club’s junior<br />

squad for this year – and the<br />

tactic appears to have paid off.<br />

He will represent the Eels in<br />

the S.G. Ball Cup, played between<br />

teams made up of players aged<br />

under 18 from 19 NRL and NSW<br />

Cup junior teams.<br />

He has previously represented<br />

the South Island Scorpions at<br />

under-15 and under-17 level.<br />

A WELL-KNOWN Hornby<br />

sports identity says the longer<br />

the $34 million mega facility is<br />

delayed the better.<br />

John Catchpole (below) said<br />

sports clubs that use Denton<br />

Park – one of the options for the<br />

new Hornby Library, service<br />

centre and south-west<br />

pool – would be relieved<br />

a decision on a<br />

site may not be made<br />

until the end of the<br />

year.<br />

“We just don’t want<br />

to lose Denton Park<br />

because I think Denton<br />

Park is about the only<br />

green area around that built up<br />

area,” the former president of<br />

Hornby Rugby Football Club<br />

said.<br />

“If we were to ever lose something<br />

like this, it would be a<br />

massive disappointment.”<br />

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board recommended<br />

last week that they<br />

would consult the community<br />

on three possible sites for the<br />

mega facility – Denton Park,<br />

Warren Park and Kyle Park.<br />

Other sites could emerge as a<br />

result of the public consultation.<br />

The recommendation will<br />

go before the city council on<br />

Thursday for approval.<br />

The location and<br />

concept designs for<br />

the facility, which will<br />

house a library and<br />

service centre, are not<br />

likely to be known until<br />

the end of the year, the<br />

board was told.<br />

The project is<br />

not expected to be<br />

completed now until mid-2019<br />

or later. It has previously been<br />

delayed because of council<br />

budget issues.<br />

IT LOOKS like there’s a lot of<br />

water to go under the bridge<br />

yet before important decisions<br />

are made on the Hornby mega<br />

facility.<br />

The key one of course: Where<br />

will it go?<br />

There are many divisions in the<br />

community over where it should<br />

be placed, and this I suspect is<br />

working into the city council’s<br />

hands.<br />

Because the longer it is delayed<br />

through mucking around over<br />

a site, the more time the city<br />

council has to find the money to<br />

build the $34 million project.<br />

We report today on page 1 it<br />

will be the end of the year before<br />

a location and concept plans<br />

are determined, and it won’t be<br />

until late 2019 at least until it’s<br />

completed.<br />

I bet it will be much longer<br />

than that. – Barry Clarke<br />

Still no plans for old library<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THE OLD Halswell Library is<br />

wasting away and no sign has<br />

been given on what will come<br />

of it.<br />

Groups interested in using the<br />

library are fed up with the lack<br />

of communication from the city<br />

council over the library’s future.<br />

The library has now been out<br />

of use for more than a year after<br />

the new Te Hapua: Halswell<br />

Centre opened in November,<br />

2015.<br />

Halswell Community Project<br />

chairwoman<br />

Chrys Horn (right)<br />

said several local<br />

groups have been<br />

interested in using<br />

the facility for a<br />

long time but there<br />

has not been “a lot<br />

of communication”<br />

from city council staff.<br />

More than a year ago groups<br />

including the Halswell Residents’<br />

Association came up with a<br />

varied list for what the library<br />

could become.<br />

This included a youth facility,<br />

museum, police office and<br />

funeral chapel.<br />

“We said lots of things and<br />

we would be happy to put in a<br />

proposal if we thought it would<br />

POPULAR: Several community groups have put their hands<br />

up for using the old vacant Halswell Library as a community<br />

space.<br />

be successful . . . we needed to<br />

know from the city council there<br />

was a possibility for it being used<br />

then nothing happened,” Ms<br />

Horn said.<br />

City council head of facilities<br />

Bruce Rendall said the old<br />

Halswell Library, based on 381<br />

Halswell Rd, will be reviewed by<br />

the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board and because<br />

of this, no decisions have been<br />

made yet.<br />

He said conversations have<br />

started on a city-wide review<br />

that will progress throughout the<br />

year.<br />

“As such, the property previously<br />

used for providing library<br />

services in Halswell is one of the<br />

facilities being reviewed.<br />

“Matters that the board may<br />

consider include community<br />

demand, other community facilities<br />

in proximity, capital<br />

projects in their area and the cost<br />

of upgrading and maintaining<br />

the property,” he said.<br />

City councillor Anne Galloway<br />

said she was aware of the new<br />

approach for the city council<br />

dealing with the assets they own<br />

and no longer use.<br />

But she did not know when<br />

the community board would be<br />

consulted on this review.<br />

“My hope is the city council<br />

could come to some sort of shortterm<br />

lease agreement,” she said.<br />

Groups including the Halswell<br />

Community Project, Kiwi<br />

Church, Halswell Playcentre and<br />

the CDN Trust have expressed<br />

interest in using the space.<br />

Halswell Playcentre copresident<br />

Karen White said<br />

the empty facility could have<br />

well and truly been used by a<br />

community group.<br />

“I think it would be an<br />

amazing opportunity for a whole<br />

lot of groups to work in together<br />

regardless of each other’s<br />

individual philosophies; to keep<br />

a resource in the community,”<br />

she said.<br />

Making bus rides<br />

more enjoyable<br />

• Ashleigh Monk<br />

MAGDA Lorenzo has spent the<br />

last two months delivering books<br />

to bus stops for commuters to<br />

enjoy.<br />

Ms Lorenzo started the<br />

initiative ‘The Commuting Book’<br />

to encourage reading and the use<br />

of public transport.<br />

The idea is for people to pick<br />

up a book at their bus stop, read<br />

it while they ride the bus, then<br />

drop it off when they get to their<br />

stop.<br />

“The idea behind The<br />

Commuting Books is to create<br />

opportunities for people to<br />

engage in reading by bringing<br />

them (books) into public spaces,”<br />

she said.<br />

“I see bus stops a social hub<br />

and it’s very interesting the way<br />

you can engage in conversation<br />

with people waiting for the bus<br />

with you and sometimes the<br />

books are an excuse to do<br />

that.”<br />

Ms Lorenzo delivered the<br />

books herself on her bicycle she<br />

had named ‘Mantis’.<br />

“It depends on the weather<br />

that day; I can ride for several<br />

hours around the city. Normally<br />

I choose one of the bus routes<br />

and leave the books at the stops<br />

on that route.”<br />

Each book had a ‘Commuting<br />

Book’ sticker with informations<br />

and instructions on the project.<br />

Although Ms Lorenzo has not<br />

had much feedback she said the<br />

travelling of books was a good<br />

sign.<br />

“Some of them are responding<br />

through Facebook. They are<br />

being very generous with their<br />

comments and their feedback.<br />

It’s very encouraging.”<br />

Ms Lorenzo estimated she<br />

had distributed about 230<br />

books so far, and hoped that<br />

number would rise as the project<br />

developed.<br />

“We hope to be implementing<br />

a few different aspects to the<br />

project in the next couple of<br />

months.”<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

AT THIS time of the year former<br />

Super Rugby player Ged Robinson<br />

is normally getting towards peak<br />

fitness ahead of a busy season.<br />

This year he’s all about keeping<br />

Christchurch well fed with what<br />

he calls a Kiwi take on Italian style<br />

pizza.<br />

Fed by Ged will be one of many<br />

tasty and nutritious options<br />

available for those needing refuelling<br />

following The Star City2Surf. The<br />

former Crusader, whose mobile<br />

wood fire pizza oven is regularly<br />

Outside<br />

of rugby<br />

Robinson<br />

has always had a love for food. After<br />

recently hanging up the boots he’s<br />

now had more time to concentrate<br />

on that love.<br />

“I’m a front rower so I love food.<br />

I moved to Melbourne and played<br />

over there for three years. My wife<br />

and I spent a lot of time checking out<br />

the city and enjoying the food, that<br />

probably fired up the taste buds even<br />

more,” said Robinson.<br />

His first experiments with pizza<br />

came during his time while playing<br />

for the Melbourne Rebels, regularly<br />

feeding teammates on his own<br />

creations. His passion for fuelling a<br />

squad has grown ever since.<br />

After spending a decade as a<br />

professional rugby player Robinson<br />

knows all about nutrition, something<br />

he’s taken to the oven.<br />

“Italian style pizza has really high<br />

quality meat and really low in sugar<br />

and salt. I do make brown flour<br />

pizza dough as well as the traditional<br />

white. It’s all really good quality,<br />

non-processed food,” said Robinson.<br />

Robinson is continually working<br />

on new creations and by the time<br />

March 19 rolls around he may just<br />

have a new recipe to unveil.<br />

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements<br />

The Blind Care Company has been<br />

cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />

for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />

have seen changes in both fashion and<br />

technology. Styles have ranged from<br />

festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />

and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />

from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />

and in every colour or pattern popular<br />

since the 1960s.<br />

Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />

Company has the expertise to keep your<br />

window treatments looking fresh and<br />

working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />

chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />

dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />

can be removed so that your blinds<br />

smell fresh and are restored to their<br />

original glory. The company can repair<br />

blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />

in stock. And if you want something<br />

completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />

available for purchase.<br />

The company prides itself on efficient<br />

service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />

with most work taking one or two<br />

days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />

available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />

for clients. The Cashel Street location<br />

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />

and drop-off service is available. 150<br />

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />

or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />

50 per day. That means they will come to<br />

your home or office, remove and clean<br />

your blinds on the spot and reinstall them<br />

for you.<br />

A cut-down and size alteration service<br />

is available in order that the blinds you<br />

bought are a perfect fit.<br />

They are experts in their field with a<br />

huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />

In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />

for at least 8 years, and many up to 20<br />

years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />

will work hard to make sure it gets done,<br />

including one job of 800 blinds which<br />

they completed in 4 days.<br />

Strengthen your spine, avoid<br />

back pain<br />

Whether it’s from gardening, lifting<br />

something heavy, or twisting awkwardly,<br />

most of us will experience low back pain<br />

during our lifetime and it can certainly<br />

slow us down.<br />

An exciting and effective way of<br />

resolving and preventing low back or neck<br />

pain is Dynamic Spines, a programme run<br />

by Muscle People in Christchurch City<br />

and Bishopdale. As physiotherapist and<br />

director of Muscle People, Laurie Moore,<br />

explains: “Spinal strength and stability is<br />

the focus of the programme, concentrating<br />

on the deep core muscles in the trunk.”<br />

The programme is designed to move<br />

you beyond pain to a place where you feel<br />

confident about taking part in dynamic<br />

activities, and significantly reduce<br />

recurrence of back pain, she says.<br />

Led by physiotherapists, the weekly<br />

exercise programme is conducted for<br />

small groups, with core stability and<br />

spinal muscle control being addressed.<br />

Participants experience clear progression<br />

each week, which will cross over to their<br />

everyday life.<br />

“More than 80 per cent of New Zealanders<br />

suffer from a significant episode of low<br />

back pain during their life,” Laurie says.<br />

“Of these, 84 per cent are likely to have<br />

a recurrence of back pain within a year.<br />

Research shows that those that undergo a<br />

specific spinal strengthening programme<br />

are almost three times better off.”<br />

The benefits of completing the Dynamic<br />

Spines programme:<br />

• Stabilise your spine<br />

• Increase your core strength<br />

• Improve your confidence<br />

• Correct causative factors that may<br />

relate to ongoing pain and recurrent<br />

episodes of low back pain<br />

• Specific training for your back<br />

A Muscle People client who has completed<br />

the Dynamic Spines programmes, Julie,<br />

says: “The course has been life-changing.<br />

I suffered from severe neck pain and was<br />

fearful of any movement. This programme<br />

has strengthened up my neck muscles,<br />

making me feel confident and like a new<br />

woman.”<br />

Another participant, Tor, says: After<br />

partaking in the Dynamic Spines group<br />

exercise programme I definitely feel<br />

stronger all over – thigh muscles, arms,<br />

general increased stamina. This has helped<br />

with my gardening work, with less lower<br />

back niggles.”<br />

Before you join the Dynamic Spines<br />

programme, a physiotherapist will assess<br />

your individual needs. The programme is<br />

then split into two levels. Laurie explains:<br />

After<br />

Before<br />

“The first level is all about learning to locate and then strengthen the appropriate muscles.<br />

The physiotherapists will help each person to achieve this based on their individual<br />

diagnosis and ability.<br />

“The second level focuses on turning those learned skills into habitual movements and<br />

improving strength. Home exercises are also an integral part of the programme.<br />

The Dynamic Spines programme is designed for men and women of all ages and fitness<br />

levels, who have back or neck pain, or with core or postural weakness.<br />

Sutherland returns from US<br />

for Junior All Whites trial<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

FORMER Burnside High<br />

student Joash Sutherland<br />

returned home from the United<br />

States last month to push his<br />

case for a spot in the All Whites<br />

under-20 World Cup squad.<br />

Sutherland, 19, played for<br />

both Burnside and FC Twenty<br />

before leaving for Xavier University<br />

in Cincinnati, Ohio, on<br />

a scholarship midway through<br />

2015.<br />

The midfielder was home over<br />

the Christmas period to attend<br />

a New Zealand under-20 camp<br />

in Auckland.<br />

He was the only Christchurch<br />

player at January’s four-day<br />

Junior All Whites camp. He has<br />

his eyes set on this year’s FIFA<br />

under-20 World Cup in South<br />

Korea, which will take place<br />

between May 20 and June 11.<br />

“It was a really good experience<br />

for me and great to see<br />

a lot of the lads there that I<br />

haven’t seen in a while. All in<br />

all, I think I played well and<br />

worked hard. Obviously there<br />

are a great group of boys there<br />

so it’s going to be a competitive<br />

selection to pick from,” said<br />

Sutherland.<br />

“I’m trying to stay reasonably<br />

calm about the whole process.<br />

Obviously to wear the fern<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

Help your child grow in confidence<br />

Do your children lack self-confidence, or<br />

perhaps have so much energy that they need an<br />

outlet for it? Development through drama is the<br />

ideal approach to teach confidence and channel<br />

youthful energy while building self-esteem.<br />

The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has been<br />

in New Zealand for 35 years. This highly regarded<br />

international programme helps students aged 5 to<br />

17 fulfil their potential by acting confidently and<br />

speaking clearly. Our unique, self-development<br />

programme helps achieve invaluable life skills.<br />

The confident, articulate child makes friends<br />

easily, accepts challenges and new directions.<br />

Confident children become well-rounded adults.<br />

Our fully qualified teachers are trained in<br />

the Helen O’Grady Drama system, they ensure<br />

each child is encouraged and valued in a warm,<br />

positive learning environment. Lessons stimulate<br />

and motivate students without the exam or<br />

is something I’ve dreamed<br />

for since I was little and has<br />

definitely been one of my many<br />

goals. I definitely think I’m capable<br />

and at the standard to be<br />

a part of the group, but it’s just<br />

a matter of what the coaches<br />

are looking for at the end of the<br />

day.”<br />

He has now returned to<br />

Xavier University ahead of its<br />

spring season, which begins in<br />

March. After nearly two years<br />

at college, Sutherland is becoming<br />

acclimatised to the student<br />

athlete environment.<br />

“I’ve really enjoyed being<br />

over here, meeting people and<br />

studying. Being able to play<br />

football every day at a good level<br />

is something I am really grateful<br />

for. Being a student athlete<br />

is definitely challenging. From<br />

having class in the morning to<br />

going straight to training for<br />

three hours and then to have<br />

one or two more classes in the<br />

afternoon is really full on,” said<br />

Sutherland.<br />

Life during the season is even<br />

busier with the team often travelling<br />

home from away games<br />

on sleeping busses which travel<br />

through the night.<br />

Sutherland will find out<br />

closer to May if he has made the<br />

Junior All Whites World Cup<br />

squad.<br />

peer group pressure. Weekly class activities<br />

include speech training, creative movement and<br />

improvisation. Our Youth Theatre programme<br />

encourages the development of leadership and<br />

organisational skills. We also offer Trinity College<br />

London examinations as an option for those who<br />

wish to pursue an international qualification.<br />

Our safe structured<br />

learning environment<br />

values student<br />

individuality and<br />

encourages team<br />

building. After school<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

The power of<br />

chlorophyll<br />

Chlorophyll is a truly amazing substance<br />

with powerful health benefits. It is the green<br />

pigment found in plants they use to make<br />

energy through photosynthesis. It is a rich<br />

source of natural minerals, vitamins, amino<br />

acids and antioxidants, which are essential<br />

in balancing and maintaining the alkalinity<br />

of the body. Ideally we want our body to<br />

be slightly alkaline as an acidic body is<br />

prone to unhealthy organisms that can<br />

damage organs, the immune system and<br />

may lead to allergies, asthma, congestion,<br />

fatigue, frequent colds, headaches,<br />

inflammation, joint and muscle pain, skin<br />

problems, ulcers, weight gain and over<br />

the long term arthritis, cancer, diabetes,<br />

fibromyalgia, heart disease, multiple<br />

sclerosis, osteoporosis and stroke. The<br />

biggest contributor to acidity in the body is<br />

our modern diet. Excess acidity is caused<br />

by eating processed foods, too much animal<br />

protein, dairy products and processed<br />

grains such as corn and wheat. Normally<br />

the kidneys maintain our acid/alkaline<br />

balance by adjusting the electrolyte levels<br />

in the body. The electrolytes are calcium,<br />

magnesium, potassium and sodium. The<br />

best source of these electrolytes is raw<br />

fruits and vegetables as cooking depletes<br />

alkalising minerals. Green drinks made<br />

with fresh vegetables or powders are very<br />

alkalising as they contain chlorophyll.<br />

Chlorophyll is structurally similar to our<br />

own blood and alkalises the blood.<br />

Chlorophyll is available in concentrated<br />

liquid form and is an ideal way to help<br />

alkalise and mineralise the body. Generally<br />

5-15ml is taken straight or diluted in<br />

water or juice. Chlorophyll is a powerful<br />

cleansing and detoxifying agent for the<br />

body and blood. It acts as a natural internal<br />

deodoriser, helping with body odour, bad<br />

breath, promoting good digestive function<br />

and supporting overall health and wellbeing.<br />

Chlorophyll supports efficient<br />

oxygen transportation by the blood and as<br />

a result can improve energy and make you<br />

feel more refreshed and invigorated.<br />

Take a trip with<br />

Third Aged Tours<br />

Taking people aged over 50 on trips<br />

around New Zealand and the world for<br />

nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours<br />

a brag book that Director Brenda Corby-<br />

Yarrall says “businesses would give their<br />

eye teeth for.”<br />

Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people<br />

means I can operate the tour in a relaxed,<br />

companionable manner. We have an<br />

absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about<br />

having fun.<br />

Most of my trips are run annually<br />

because they’re so popular, but I’m always<br />

adding new destinations - like “Sicily, South<br />

Italy & Vatican” + “Cuba”,<br />

as people ask for them.<br />

Brenda checks out all<br />

accommodation before<br />

booking it, and ensures<br />

the party spends at least a<br />

few nights at each place.<br />

That way you don’t feel<br />

like you’re living out of a<br />

suitcase.<br />

Many clients now have<br />

made over 20 tours with<br />

us, one has completed a<br />

whopping 27 tours.<br />

My clients tell me they<br />

keep coming back because<br />

of the size of the groups and our relaxed<br />

manner. My motto is ‘There are no<br />

strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’<br />

We gather together for breakfast at<br />

8.30am which sets us up for the day and<br />

everybody thinks is a very civilised hour.<br />

I organise incredible trips at incredible<br />

prices. Look around, you can’t find better<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

Properties in this location are tightly held and are<br />

rarely becoming available and it is almost impossible to<br />

find an original character home let alone on Sumner’s<br />

waterfront.<br />

Positioned right opposite Cave Rock, Scarborough<br />

and Sumner Beaches and boasting one of the few<br />

homes on the Esplanade with rear access and views<br />

in both directions. Views encapsulate Scarborough<br />

Heads sweeping over Sumner Beach and right along<br />

the coastline to the Kaikoura Ranges and the Southern<br />

Alps.<br />

Built approximately 100 years ago when<br />

craftsmanship was valued this graceful character home<br />

has great street appeal, good bones and untapped<br />

potential. Clearly cherished and lovingly maintained<br />

with gleaming timber floors throughout and a good old<br />

fashioned ambience.<br />

All the ground floor is dedicated to two generous<br />

sized living rooms, one which is open plan with the<br />

kitchen and has French doors opening on to the rear<br />

garden, the other being the formal dining and living<br />

room area.<br />

Upstairs hosts four bedrooms, two that are large and<br />

two smaller plus a sunroom which is sure to be the best<br />

seat in the house.<br />

The grounds are much larger than first appear with<br />

a well laid out back area for the family to enjoy, rear<br />

access from the ROW (off Burgess St) and off street<br />

parking, garage and a workshop/studio/storage room.<br />

This is an ideal location to raise your family and<br />

offers a beachy laid back lifestyle. Enjoy a surf or swim<br />

after work or a morning stroll along the Esplanade. Life<br />

doesn’t get much better than this.<br />

With a myriad of village shops, cafes and boutiques<br />

within close proximity from your door, you are sure to<br />

enjoy the benefits of such a prime address.<br />

A treasured family home for the past 35 years, it is now<br />

time for our owner to say goodbye. Here’s your chance<br />

to stamp your mark and purchase this special property.<br />

Your earliest inspection is highly recommended.<br />

Open Home Dates: Wednesday, Saturday and<br />

Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 11:45 a.m until auction day. See<br />

you at one of the Open Days, or for a private viewing<br />

or for more information contact Alison Carter of<br />

Harcourts Grenadier Ferrymead (Licensed Agent<br />
