Wigram Skies resident at 

breaking point with trucks 

• By Emily O’Connell 

MORE RESIDENTS in 

Wigram Skies’ Lodestar Ave 

want big, noisy trucks stopped 

from driving through their 

neighbourhood. 

And one with a disabled 

daughter says she will now have 

to sell up. 

Wanda Waites, who lives 

on the corner of Lodestar and 

Corsair Dr said “the trucks are 

driving me mad.” 

They wake her daughter Tara 

up at 5am every day of the week. 

Lady Wigram Retirement Village 

residents are also campaigning 

to stop the trucks, saying they 

get woken up at 4.30am. 

Ms Waites said she plans to 

sell up and move to somewhere 

quieter. 

She wants Halswell Ward city 

councillor Anne Galloway and 

Wigram MP Megan Woods to be 

more proactive in stopping the 

trucks. 

Cr Galloway and Dr Woods 

will meet this Friday to discuss 

the issue. 

Dr Woods said yesterday the 

trucks are a real problem and 

it is a horrible situation for Ms 

Waites. 

The city council is due to bring 

in the citywide Traffic and Parking 

Bylaw 2017 by the end of the 

year which will allow restrictions 

to be placed on streets.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

THE ANTE is about to be 

upped on city councillor Anne 

Galloway, and Wigram MP 

Megan Woods. 

Our reporter Emily O’Connell 

knocked on a few doors in Lodestar 

Ave, Wigram, yesterday and 

no surprises over what she found 

– people have had a gutsful of 

the big trucks (see page 1). 

This should come as no surprise 

to Galloway and Woods 

– Western News has reported on 

this issue for some months, and 

the matter went international 

when rest home owner John 

Tooby was recorded having a go 

at his tenants over their campaign 

to stop the trucks. 

But as we found yesterday it’s 

not only the rest home residents 

having to put up with the noisy 

trucks – the whole neighbourhood 

is. 

Anne, Megan: Time to act.

Users object to library closure 


THE CITY council is in the 

firing line after closing the 

Upper Riccarton War Memorial 

Library. 

The library’s chairwoman 

Aynslie Walter said the building 

was undergoing a feasibility 

study when it was discovered one 

part of the floor had sunk into 

the foundation causing cracks in 

the kitchen, toilet and walls. 

City council head of building 

consenting Robert Wright said 

the library will reopen subject 

to the required repairs being 

undertaken. 

“The building needs to be 

compliant to the appropriate 

standard so it may be safely 

enjoyed by groups in the future,” 

he said. 

The city council asked for the 

library to be closed immediately 

on October 26 but Mrs Walter 

objected as they needed to remove 

resources. 

They were then given 48 hours 

to do so, which Mrs Walter said 

wasn’t long enough. 

“I got two car loads out – one 

out on Thursday and we went in 

at 6.30am on Friday. We didn’t 

have the transport or the time to 

do it,” she said. 

Mrs Walter said the city 

council will now help them with 

what is left. 

She said the city council has 

no heart. 

“To think they’ve had these 

sessions on Passchendaele and 

remembrance on that, and here 

they are forgetting about the 

memorial which was given to 

them for that purpose,” she said. 

The library was opened in 

1919 as a memorial to those 

from the district who gave their 

lives in World War 1. It was 

the first of seven war memorial 

libraries built in New Zealand. 

John Edward Hanson gifted 

the site to Lady Bowen in an 

exchange for her less valuable 

site of the old library – which 

was described as decrepit. 

Mrs Walter said the library is 

administered by a trust and they 

own the building on behalf of 

the community. 

“The land was also ours, however, 

it was given to the Waimairi 

County Council from the committee 

at the time, so they could 

maintain the outside of the buildings. 

There was some deal made 

but records were lost when the 

city council took over,” she said. 

The city council and library 

members met on Thursday to 

discuss the situation further.

HUNTER 

Mrs Walter said it was a 

positive meeting but the trustees 

need time to consider options. 

She said they’re not sure how 

much it would cost to repair the 

library but they will look into it. 

A public meeting will be held 

at 10am on December 2 in the 

Rannerdale Veterans Village 

meeting room. 

Mrs Walter said they would 

like to stress that it’s the building 

which has closed down, not 

the library as an organisation. 

She said books can be returned 

to the Upper Riccarton 

Library in the meantime or 80 

Woodbury St, Russley.

Resident at breaking point 

•From page 1 

It will include allowing for the 

banning of vehicles from being 

parked on the road if they’re 

advertised for sale, vehicles from 

parking on berms, and stopping 

heavy vehicles on certain streets. 

Last week Cr Galloway told 

Western News she doubts the 

new bylaw will be of any use. 

“It seems that 

speed is the issue 

and the recommendation 

is for police 

to get more involved 

in monitoring this,” 

Cr Galloway said. 

But late last week, 

Galloway tempered 

her stance, sending 

Western News an 

email saying the 

bylaw can work. 

“There definitely 

is still hope that it 

can be used to prevent 

heavy trucks 

along Lodestar. Staff 

cannot consider it 

as an option until it 

is passed,” Cr Galloway said. 

Ms Waites said she would 

be very disappointed if change 

doesn’t come about and her ideal 

outcome would be not to see any 

more trucks. 

She said the city council hasn’t 

done anything. 

Ms Waites has lived in the 

FRUSTRATED: Shela 

Wong is annoyed at 

the heavy trucks which 

drive on Corsair Dr and 

Lodestar Ave. 

house for almost five years but 

since Lodestar Ave opened, she’s 

had problems. 

Ms Waites said the noise isn’t 

the only issue, vehicles drive 

at speed on the street and it’s a 

safety hazard. 

She said Tara can’t go outside 

alone as it’s too dangerous. 

Lady Wigram Retirement 

Village residents 

have been lobbying 

since April when 

they met with Cr 

Galloway and Dr 

Woods asking 

for a bylaw to 

stop trucks being 

allowed to drive 

through Lodestar 

Ave. 

It’s a short cut 

to work sites in 

the area and in 

Selwyn. 

Shela Wong, 

who lives on Corsair 

Drive, said the 

bylaw is an “awesome” 

idea. 

She said the trucks are too big 

and noisy to driving on residential 

streets. 

Miss Wong said the yellow 

pedestrian bars on Corsair Drive 

have been knocked over a few 

times as large trucks struggle 

to make the tight turn onto 

Lodestar. 

Skate parks delayed 


THE TWO planned skate parks 

in Halswell have been delayed. 

After three years of planning, 

the Halswell Domain and 

Knights Stream skate parks are 

now expected to be ready by 

late April, instead of January as 

initially planned. 

In June, Western News reported 

the cost would be $344,605 

and $350,000 respectively. 

The consent process has taken 

longer than expected and, as a 

result, construction of both parks 

has been delayed. 

City councillor Vicki Buck said 

the consent application for the 

Knights Stream skate park was 

lodged last week and still needs 

to be granted, which can take up 

to 20 working days. 

The city council won’t know 

if both sites will be managed 

together until a contractor has 

been selected. 

Cr Buck said the Halswell 

Domain skate park still required 

further stormwater basin design 

work. 

“All design work needs to be 

completed for the consent application. 

We are aiming to have the 

design and application ready to 

lodge mid-November. The timing 

of that consent may depend 

ROAD BLOCK: The consent process for the Halswell Domain 

Skate Park has taken longer than expected and as a result 

construction of both parks have been delayed until January. 

on the response,” she said. 

Cr Buck said the delay was 

frustrating and she understands 

people will be disappointed. She 

also said the delays were not due 

to poor planning. 

Halswell Residents’ Association 

secretary David Hawke said 

it was disappointing, but they’ve 

been waiting 10 years for the 

parks and another few months 

wasn’t an issue. 

He said they’ve got a group of 

young people who have to travel 

to Prebbleton to get to the closest 

skate park. 

“It will mean that we’re starting 

to get amenities within the 

community that meet the needs 

of all the people,” Mr Hawke 

said. Construction for both parks 

is now expected to begin in mid 

to late January and run for 15 

weeks.

Now 


Young directors making their mark 

• By Julia Evans 

AVONHEAD’S Simon Brown 

could soon be following in the 

footsteps of Kiwi director Taika 

Waititi. 

While Waititi has been 

smashing box offices records 

with his new movie Thor: 

Ragnarok, Simon and Nina Hogg 

have created the short film A 

Perfect Child. 

The Christ’s and St Margaret’s 

college students won the award 

for best senior fiction at the 

Australian Teachers of Media 

Awards in Melbourne. 

It tells the story of Ava, played 

by St Margaret’s student Tigerlily 

Perry, a girl who has lost her parents 

in a car crash and has been 

sent to an orphanage. 

She meets Madam Murphy 

(Eilish Moran, of The Court 

Theatre) who runs the establishment 

in a disciplined and firm 

manner. Ava soon befriends 

Lauren (Alice Taylor, of St Margaret’s), 

but finds out that things 

are not what they seem at the 

orphanage. 

When Lauren suddenly turns 

on her, Ava discovers a laboratory 

full of clones which the 

orphanage is trying to make into 

perfect specimens so they can be 

adopted more easily. 

UP-AND-COMING: Students Simon Brown and Nina Hogg 

collected the award for best senior short film in Melbourne. 

Taking home an award didn’t 

come easily. 

The 18min film took a year to 

produce from start to finish and 

involved more than 65 students, 

mentors and teachers. 

Simon said the main challenge 

came from the editing process. 

A Perfect Child went up against 

550 entries in the ATOM awards 

from across Australia and New 

Zealand. 

“The prize-giving was very 

nerve-racking, especially when 

Nina and I had to go up on stage 

to collect the award. We didn’t 

realise that we were required to 

give a short speech and had to 

improvise but it was taken very 

well, which was a relief,” Simon 

said. 

Nina said many students put 

their life and soul into the film. 

“I hope our two schools (St 

Margaret’s and Christ’s) continue 

this collaboration as a way 

to foster interest in the film industry 

and highlight the talent of 

our friends and fellow students,” 

she said. 

The ATOM presentation 

was hosted by Australian TV 

presenter Walt Collins and was 

followed by a screening of the 

winning productions at the SAE 

Institute, Melbourne. The awards 

STARRING ROLE: Tigerlily 

Perry played Ava in the award

Ilam and Upper 

Riccarton 

Residents’ 

Association 

chairman Phil 

McGoldrick 

wants the 

community to 

get on their 

bicycles 



Your Local Views 

Plea to get on your bike 

MANY WILL have missed or 

dismissed the news recently that 

there are currently 200,000 more 

cars on New Zealand’s roads 

than there were a year ago. 

Assuming equal distribution, 

that means 20,000 in the Garden 

City, if we can still call our city 

that. And many, of those, will 

be in the Ilam area, which has 

witnessed considerable intensification 

in the last decade. 

The problem of parking is 

well trumpeted in the inner city, 

but little is said or done in our 

suburb where the problem is 

equally acute. 

The city council and 

Canterbury University have 

done so much to improve the 

way forward for cyclists but far 

too few are responding to this 

incentive. 

The flatness of Christchurch 

is so conducive to cycling. Ask 

those who dare and they will say 

they beat vehicular transport 

to any destination in the city 

especially at peak times. And 

once there, the time and expense 

involved with securing a park is 

obviated. 

Yet Cantabrians are staying 

away from cycling in their droves 

and the excellent cycle lanes in 

our area are forlorn. 

We visited the fabulous city 

BIKER: Phil McGoldrick is 

encouraging people to cycle 

around the city. 

of Copenhagen recently. One of 

the reasons for its pre-eminence 

and recognition as a future city 

is the population’s commitment 

to cycling to achieve sensible 

traffic. There, 50 per cent of the 

population is biking. Cyclists 

there are treated with respect, but 

they earn that respect by being 

responsible with all facets of 

cycling. Many here tell me they 

refuse to bike to work or uni to 

avoid “bad hair days” – perhaps 

we ought to revisit compulsory 

wearing of helmets? 

We also did an e-bike tour 

in Europe and power assisted 

bikes are certainly an eye to the 

future. If nothing changes and 

we clutch on to our predilection 

with the motor vehicle, the 

price we ultimately pay will 

be frightening. More streets 

will be blocked, traffic flows 

more painful, verges, lawns 

and gardens sacrificed, and our 

sacred environment further 

compromised. Perhaps the 

time is right to delve deep into 

your shed or at least test ride an 

e-bike.

Our People 

WESTERN NEWS 

Jan Fortune 

Enthusiastic about promoting the status 

Hoon Hay’s Jan Fortune 

is a member of Zonta 

and is the chair of the 

team which runs the 

Canterbury Secondary 

Schools Zonta Awards. 

She is now 71 and has 

battled cancer, been an 

Australasian champion at 

archery and worked in the 

medical realm. She talks 

to Emily O’Connell 

Where did you grow up? 

I grew up in Auckland and 

lived there until I moved to 

Christchurch in 1982. We moved 

down to Christchurch for my 

husband’s job, he’s a medical 

photographer, so he came down 

here for a promotion. His job 

was at The Princess Margaret 

Hospital at the time but now it’s 

in the main hospital. 

What got you into volunteering? 

When I became qualified as a 

medical laboratory technologist 

in 1970, I wanted to go overseas. 

So I decided to volunteer in 

Papua New Guinea for two 

years. It was a great experience 

but there wasn’t as much work 

on as planned. Because of this, 

CRAFT: Jan Fortune at the Christchurch Guild of Weavers and Spinners class at the Tannery. 

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS 

I started up Girl Guides. I spent 

my afternoons teaching Guides 

to the local children and they 

were very enthusiastic. One day 

when I was doing a sponsored 

walkathon, I saw a man collecting 

money in a Scout uniform. 

The next day I saw him again at 

the bank and I thought he looked 

quite nice. I was then introduced 

to him at a party a few week’s 

later. Colin and I dated for a 

couple months and then got 

engaged. I was able to cut my trip 

short by nine months so I could 

get married. In December 1971 I 

spent six weeks with him and his 

family in Sydney. We got married 

in January 1972 in Auckland 

and have been married now for 

45 years. 

What were you doing before 

Zonta? 

I was a medical laboratory 

technologist professionally and 

I worked in the laboratory at the 

Christchurch Hospital. From 

there I changed profession and 

went into pharmaceutical and 

did hospital oncology drug 

sales. I did that for 20 years and 

I retired about five or six 

years ago and then I started 

volunteering at the shop at the 

hospital. I’m not very good at 

doing nothing. I then got bowel 

cancer so I took a year off while 

I had surgery and chemotherapy 

– which has fortunately got rid 

of it all. Currently I have a job 

two days a week at the hospital, 

which is a paid job, as the 

co-ordinator of the wayfinder 

volunteers who are out the front 

of the hospital. 

How did you get involved 

with Zonta? 

I got involved about 26 

years ago. I was new to 

Christchurch and I always wanted 

to work in the community 

having been involved all my life.

of women and girls in the community 

I heard the group was a service 

club and worked particularly to 

promote the status of women and 

girls and that’s what I’m enthusiastic 

about. It’s also a way to 

meet other professional businesswomen 

so I joined Zonta. I’ve 

been with it ever since because I 

love it and I get a good satisfaction 

out of what we can achieve 

for other people. 

How did you get involved with 

the Zonta Sports Awards? 

The sports awards had started 

just before I joined. Vicki Buck 

approached Zonta with the idea. 

In those days, 26 years ago, girls 

never got any recognition for 

their achievement in sport. We 

thought it was a good suggestion 

and it fitted with our goal 

of trying to promote the status 

of girls. For five years it was 

just the girls and the boys had a 

separate awards night. And then 

the organisation which ran the 

boys awards fell through. School 

Sport Canterbury then asked if 

we’d consider combining the two 

and we said ‘oh yes alright’ and 

we’ve just continued. Although 

girls do get a lot more publicity 

than they used to – it’s still not as 

much as the boys do. So I’m quite 

passionate about getting them 

recognised for their amazing 

achievements. It blows your mind

what they’re achieving. 

What sports have you played? 

I was a New Zealand archery 

champion and then I went on to 

pistol shooting and they’re both 

ones which never get any recognition 

because they’re not very 

public sports so that’s another 

reason I think the Zonta Sports 

Awards are good. I was in my 

late 30s when I picked up archery 

and did well quite quickly. In the 

sports awards there is a category 

for the disabled and I’m passionate 

about that because once I had 

stopped shooting, Neroli Fairhall,

top. She went to the able-bodied 

Commonwealth Games with me 

as her assistant, and won the gold 

medal – which was terribly exciting. 

She needed me to fetch and 

carry the arrows and things. A 

couple years after that, she asked 

me to go with her to the World 

Paraplegic Games in England 

which was an amazing experience 

and made me very passionate 

about recognising disabled 

people in their sports and how 

massively they can achieve. The 

other category which is a passion 

for me in sport, other than sport 

in general, is the coach, referee 

or administrator. They only get 

criticism when they get it wrong, 

but they don’t get any praise for 

when they get it right. 

What do you like the most 

about all your different roles? 

Just seeing the difference you 

can make. Like with the volunteering 

at the hospital, you can 

see the strain go off someone’s 

face when you tell them where 

to go for their appointment. 

My satisfaction is knowing our 

working is making a difference in 

somebody’s life. 

What do you like doing outside 

of work? 

An eye on the city 

My relaxation is in craft. I 

didn’t have time to continue 

with it when I was doing 

pharmaceutical because I was 

travelling. I’ve always knitted, but 

I’ve taken up spinning and I’m 

renewing my interest in weaving. 

I’m with the Christchurch Guild 

of Weavers and Spinners, I’m 

currently the treasurer, which 

isn’t my forte but no one else 

would do it so I’m doing that. I 

get a lot of satisfaction mixing 

with other women. 

Do you have any children? 

We don’t have any children 

but we do have a dog and she’s 

very treasured. The dog’s named 

Briar and she’s an airedale terrier. 

We’ve only ever had airedale’s, 

we fell in love with out first one 

and Briar is our fifth. Briar’s 

nearly six-years-old. She’s a rehome 

so we’ve only had her 

for one year but she’s very much 

part of our family now and very 

loved. 

What’s your best piece of 

advice for women? 

Probably just to believe in 

themselves and their abilities 

and to believe they can make a 

difference in the world. Even if 

its in a small way, they can get 

that satisfaction, knowing what 

they do has made a difference to 

someone else’s life.

sheltered outdoor area at the rear of the property. 

The master bedroom has an ensuite, and there are two other bedrooms upstairs along with 

the main bathroom facilities, which are separated into 3 rooms, making it a practical and 

convenient home for busy households. Downstairs a spacious entrance and stairway area

Riccarton High 

student earns 

prestigious 

scholarship 


RICCARTON HIGH School 

year 13 student Yan Gong has 

won a $10,000 scholarship 

towards his university studies. 

The Canterbury University 

scholarship is for first year international 

students and is offered 

to 25 students 

worldwide. 

It recognises 

and supports top 

achieving international 

students. 

Yan moved to 

New Zealand from 

China in 2015, and Yan Gong 

started at Riccarton 

High. The school’s careers 

adviser Vanessa Kidd said the 

scholarship is brilliant and only 

one secondary school student 

in New Zealand received it last 

year. 

She said Yan is a hard 

working, resilient student who 

takes every opportunity and 

helps other students. 

Ms Kidd said Yan was over 

the moon to have won. He will 

start a Bachelor of Commerce at 

Canterbury University next year. 

Billy’s great night out at the league 

MEETING: Benji and Billy Spivey with Kiwis player Elijah 

Taylor at the game on Saturday. 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

NOT EVEN a broken leg could 

stop Halswell Hornets’ Billy 

Spivey from going to cheer on the 

Kiwis as they thumped Scotland 

74-6 on Saturday. 

Billy, 7, broke his femur about 

three weeks ago after crashing 

his motor-cycle and has to be in a 

wheelchair until November 16. 

His mother Nicola said 

originally the Halswell family 

had bought tickets to the pool 

play match at AMI Stadium in 

the general stand. 

But they had to buy new tickets 

in the wheelchair seating area 

at the bottom of the City Care 

Stand so Billy could still go, she 

said. 

Ms Spivey, Billy and his 

three-year-old brother, Benji, sat 

together. Dad Hamish and some 

friends were also allowed to sit 

with them. 

Ms Spivey said it was 

“awesome” to sit there because it 

was close to the action. 

Billy’s Halswell Hornets gold 

team, which his dad coaches, 

won junior team of the year at 

the Canterbury rugby league 

awards. He was the second 

highest points scorer. 

Ms Spivey is the junior club 

captain.

Last week, Billy chatted to 

Kiwis star Shaun Johnson after 

the team’s open training session 

at Linfield Park. 

“It was cool. He said ‘I hope 

your leg gets better’,” Billy said. 

The Kiwis playmaker went 

on to score a try and kick nine 

conversions during Saturday’s 

match to become the Kiwis 

highest ever points scorer. 

The win has set the Kiwis up 

for a crunch match against Tonga 

in Hamilton on Saturday after 

they beat Pacific rivals Samoa 32- 

18 on the weekend. 

Ms Spivey said after the 

game the family got to meet 

Kiwis utility Elijah Taylor, who 

recognised Billy from last week’s 

training session. 

Some of the Kiwis officials also 

recognised him, and gave Billy 

the thumbs up and a wave as the 

team walked onto the field, she 

said. 

Billy said he wants to play for 

the Kiwis when he grows up, and 

the NRL premiership-winning 

Melbourne Storm because he has 

the same name as their fullback 

Billy Slater. 

Ms Spivey said while their 

friends joked about their kids 

being named after well-known 

rugby league players, it was not 

intentional.




Difficult words no problem for Lucy 

St Margaret’s home to 

country’s top speller 

IT MEANS lacking in 

courage and resolution, but 

Lucy Jessep certainly wasn’t 

as she correctly spelled 

pusillanimous. 

The St Margaret’s College 

year 10 student is New 

Zealand’s 2017 Spelling Bee 

champion. 

She triumphed over 

hundreds of students from 

more than 100 schools to win 

the title. 

Runner-up was year 9 

student George Turner, of 

Marlborough Boys’ College. 

In a tightly-fought 

competition, the pair battled 

it out for first place over four 

rounds after earlier defeating 

19 other spellers at Te Papa in 

Wellington. Lucy took the title 

with pusillanimous. 

The Burnside teen was 

awarded a trophy and $5000 

towards her studies. 

An enthusiastic debater who 

loves learning languages, Lucy 

said she was just focused on 

“not getting out in the first 

round,” and because of that 

didn’t consider winning. 

Her win was still sinking in, 

she said. 

New Zealand Spelling Bee 

founder Janet Lucas said the 

nail-biting final was fitting for 

a competition in which the 

talent was stronger than 

ever. 

“Lucy did incredibly well to 

triumph in such a strong field. 

This was the toughest and 

longest competition we have 

ever had. We have seen some 

truly amazing spelling today.” 

“The New Zealand Spelling 

Bee is fiercely competitive 

in a fun way. It’s a sport 

with an intellectual focus – 

students train and prepare to 

compete, and it’s clear from 

the excellent results that they 

trained hard.” 

The finalists won their 

places out of a field of 

hundreds of year 9 and 

10 students. The rigorous 

competition began with 

a written classroom test, 

followed by six regional semifinals.

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE 

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED 

WHOLE CHICKEN 

Ingredients 

1 whole butterflied chicken 

1 to taste salt & freshly ground 

pepper 

Barbecue sauce 

Directions 

Preheat grill to medium. Get 

surface temperature to about 200 

deg C. Clean and oil well. Clean 

the chicken if you desire and pat 

dry. 

Cut the backbone out of the 

chicken with sharp kitchen 

scissors. You could use a knife, 

but the scissors are much safer 

and work great. 

With a large knife, give the 

breastbone a large nick in the 

front of the chicken to help the 

bird lay flat. 

Rinse the inside of the bird out, 

trim any loose fat and extra skin. 

Pat dry again. Give the bird a 

good sprinkle of salt and pepper. 

You could use any seasoning you 

want here. 

Place skin down on the grill. 

Flip after you get a nice browning 

on the skin after about 12-15min. 

Give the chicken a good 

brushing of barbecue sauce. 

Grill another 3-4min until 

the sauce is browning well. 

Total grilling on the second side 

should take 20-25min. 

Let set for 5 minutes then cut 

and serve.

1 Lemon 

1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 

1 Pepper 

1⅓ cups Dried cranberries 

½ cup Walnuts 

¼ cup Parsley 

1 to taste Salt & freshly ground

cranberries, walnuts (toasted) 

and parsley. 

Season with salt and pepper 

and toss well. 

Cook asparagus in plenty of 

boiling, salted water for 2min or

Huge turnout for bike show 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE SMASH Palace Bike Show 

took New Brighton by storm on 

Saturday. 

“It went really well, everyone had 

a ball,” said event organiser Jason 

Mill. 

Originally, 20 heats were planned 

for the demonstration but Mr Mill 

said on the day there was close to 

60. 

Tony Hockley, 82, son of former 

bike enthusiast and founding member 

of the Pioneer Motorcycle Club 

Geoff Hockley, raced on the day. 

The event was linked to the late 

Mr Hockley, who was involved in 

the first ever bike races on New 

Brighton beach in the early 1900s. 

Event organisers had one lap 

planned for Tony, who ended up 

lining up for the next six races 

afterwards. 

“We couldn’t get him off the 

bike,” said Mr Mill. 

Between 3000-4000 spectators 

showed up and the seaside market 

said they had one of their busiest 

markets of the year, said Mr Mill. 

Originally the event was planned 

to be biennial, however, following 

feedback from spectators, Mr Mill 

thinks this may change. 

“The word I kept hearing was 

next year . . . if the community 

wants it, we will do it.” 

ENTHUSIASTS: Between 3000-4000 people turned out in New Brighton on Saturday for the 

Smash Palace Bike Show.

New Dentures > 

Creating a Better 

Denture Experience 

Relines > 

Repairs > 

Partial Dentures > 

At Better Denture, the denture clinic 

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim 

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth, 

says experienced dental technician and 

owner Chris Castle. 

“We focus on making it easier for people 

coming here to have dentures made or 

maintained with our relaxed environment 

and friendly approach.” 

Chris understands that people can be a bit 

nervous about coming into a dental clinic, 

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome 

and comfortable at Better Denture by 

breaking down those barriers and putting 

them at ease. 

The process of having new dentures made 

and fitted usually takes four appointments, 

and Chris explains the process step by step 

so patients understand what’s being done, 

further complete after care is provided at no 

additional cost. 

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite 

by hand, using higher grade materials as 

standard, allowing us the ability to customise 

every aspect of the process. We also aim to 

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures, 

with same day repairs and relines on offer, 

as well as being available on Saturdays, 

allowing us to work around even the busiest 

schedules,” he says. 

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create 

the best possible denture experience for 

you, the customer, whether it be through 

the products we custom create, the service 

we provide or the manner in which strive to 

achieve both of those goals.” 

Anyone needing new dentures is invited 

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050, 

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious 

and welcoming, and patients are invited to 

bring someone with them for support at any 

appointment if they wish. 

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby, 

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday, 

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm. 

Off-street parking and wheelchair access 

available.

Co-Q10 reduces all 

causes of mortality 

by 50% 

Researchers were amazed with the 

results of how beneficial a natural nutrient 

Coenzyme- Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human 

body. Co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in 

the body’s cells that is essential for cell 

function, energy and survival. The Heart, 

Liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large 

amounts of Co-Q10 to function well. 

In a recent multi country double blind 

trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to 

protect against heart failure, 420 patients 

with severe heart failure were given CoQ10 

or a placebo and then followed for two 

years. It was found to the amazement of 

the researchers the patients who received 

the Co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an 

adverse cardiovascular event or death 

compared to the placebo patients. Not only 

this but the patients on the CoQ10 had a 

50% reduction in death not only from 

cardiovascular events but from all causes. 

According to lead study author Professor 

Mortensen this study is the first in over a 

decade to show a natural nutrient can 

reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10 

should be added as a standard treatment 

for anyone with cardiovascular complaints. 

It is known that CoQ10 levels decrease in 

the heart muscle of patients with heart 

failure as severity worsens. Statin drugs

are used to treat many patients with 

cardiovascular problems but these drugs 

also reduce CoQ10 levels further in the 

body. Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body 

can be low energy and endurance, muscle 

pain, poor memory and concentration and 

poor heart function or heart failure. 

CoQ10 levels are known to decrease 

as we age and many researchers believe 

keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient 

may help prevent many chronic diseases 

including cancer. 

Co-Q10 is available as a natural 

supplement to support good health.

Are you 

Magnesium 

deficient? 

Minerals are the building blocks of good 

health. Some minerals are only needed in 

trace amounts where others like magnesium 

are need in much larger amounts and on 

a regular basis to prevent deficiency and 

maintain optimum health. A large number 

of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium 

from our diet and may notice some of the 

common signs of deficiency. Some of the 

more common symptoms that may be 

caused by insufficient magnesium are: leg 

and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain, 

muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors 

of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, 

poor sleep, raised and/or unstable blood 

pressure, poor circulation, irregular 

heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing 

problems, dizziness, headaches, anxiety, 

agitation, irritability, seizures, poor 

concentration and many more. 

Although many young people now show 

signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms 

generally worsen as we age due to our 

digestive system being less efficient. Taking 

a magnesium supplement of sufficient 

strength may be a sensible option to top 

up our vital magnesium levels. Not all 

magnesium supplements however are 

well absorbed by everyone. Luckily a new 

marine sourced magnesium has been 

found that offers good levels of absorbable 

magnesium as well as many trace nutrients 

that are low in the diet but essential for 

good health. Further information is 

available in store from our natural health 

advisers, and medical herbalists..
