SKATE PARK SITES RELEASED 

• By Sarla Donovan 

A SKATE park between 

Ferrymead and Sumner is a 

step closer with the release of a 

shortlist with four suitable sites. 

They are Sumner beach next 

to the Surf Life Saving Club, 

Scott Park in Ferrymead, the 

old Redcliffs School grounds on 

Main Rd, and the former Marine 

Tavern site at 26 Nayland St, 

Sumner. 

The four were chosen from a 

list of 57. 

Public consultation on the sites 

will take place from January 29 

to February 26 with a decision 

from the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

likely in April. 

Sumner Green and Skate 

group member Liza Sparrow said 

it was “really thrilled” with the 

sites. They all had merit, she said, 

but the group would continue to 

support a permanent site within 

Sumner. 

“It works well with the surf 

and skate culture, is also good 

for local business and it adds 

vibrancy to the area.” 

Board member Tim Lindley 

said he had no particular preference. 

“They would each offer quite 

a different experience. It’s a case 

of putting these out for consultation 

– they’ve all got pluses and 

minuses.” 

Board member Darrell Latham 

said the Sumner community had 

warmed to the Nayland St site. 

“Sumner locals have wanted 

centrality to the village, a place

Matt Cockcroft lives next door 

to the former Redcliffs School 

site on Main Rd. 

He said he would be happy for 

a skate park to go there provided 

it was in the middle of the park, 

visible from the road and residents 

could have input into the 

design.

THERE’S ONE nice, happy ending story 

on page 5 today. 

Hank, the border collie cross we 

featured over Christmas has found a 

home. 

Hank was on our front page promoting 

the Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust’s 2018 calendar. He wasn’t in it 

– only canines that have been rehomed make the cut. 

Hank had been at Dogwatch since October, and the people 

who run the deserving organisation needed a family with the 

patience to take him – Hank has a few quirks. 

That’s not uncommon in dogs that end up in the pound; 

they’ve usually been pushed from pillar to post before they get 

there. 

So a new start for the two year-old, who also has a new 

name: Gus. Good stuff. – Barry Clarke

New building planned for library 

THE OPAWA community is set 

to get a new building to house its 

voluntary library. 

The city council has made a 

decision to invest in a new facility 

rather than repair the old. 

The earthquake-damaged 

Opawa Library building has 

been closed since 2011, with the 

volunteer-run library operating 

out of interim premises in 

the nearby Opawa Children’s 

Library building. 

Initially the city council had 

considered repairing the library 

building. However, it has come 

up with a new plan that will 

allow both the library and the 

children’s library to shift into a 

new, modern building. 

“Providing a great place for 

the Opawa Library has been a 

priority for the city council,’’ 

said Lester Wolfreys, city council 

head of community support, 

partnerships and governance. 

He said a recent comprehensive 

costing of repairs to reinstate 

the Opawa Library had 

come in significantly over the 

available budget. 

“Fortunately, some recent 

design and build proposals the 

city council has received from 

builders for other projects suggested 

to us that we could do 

something similar for Opawa 

REBUILD: The Opawa voluntary library will get a new building after its former site was 

earthquake-damaged. It has been working out of a temporary facility (right) for seven years.

that meets the community’s 

needs for the money we have.” 

“A design/build is effectively a 

design competition – the community 

representatives will work 

closely with the city council to 

agree on exactly what we need, 

then we provide some very 

precise direction to the market,” 

he said. 

“We want a modern, lowenergy 

and accessible building 

of about 200 sq m, and a design/ 

build contract is a cost-effective 

way to get all of this in one package.” 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board chairwoman 

Sally Buck said the board is very 

supportive of both libraries and 

has pushed for the new facility to 

be a priority. 

The new facility will be built 

on the existing library site at 151 

Opawa Rd. 

Mr Wolfreys said the first 

step is to work with the library 

groups to decide what is required 

to co-locate the libraries 

and create an attractive and 

accessible meeting place for the 

community. 

“With the original Opawa 

Library a notable landmark in 

the area for generations, there is 

a strong desire for the new building 

to feature heritage elements 

from the original,’’ he said. 

The design will be signed off 

by a joint working group made 

up of members of the board, 

staff, and representatives from 

the Opawa Library and the 

Opawa Children’s Library. 

Opawa Public Library Committee 

president Marianne Field 

said volunteers are eagerly looking 

forward to getting things 

back up and running as soon as 

they can in a modern space that 

works for everyone.

Lincoln Rd’s four-lane plan 

Halswell 

Residents’ 

Association 

secretary David 

Hawke writes 

about roading 

changes in 

the area and 

how they will affect the 

community 

THE FOUR-LANING of Lincoln 

Rd, between Curletts and 

Wrights Rds, looks to be going 

ahead after years of languishing 

unbudgeted in the city council’s 

Long Term Plan. 

The four-laning is for 

bus priority, not cars. Once 

completed, this will allow the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

to four-lane its section of Lincoln 

and Halswell Rds, again for bus 

priority. 

At one level, this is a great idea. 

Giving buses the chance to make 

their way without being caught 

up in car traffic will shorten 

travel time and make their travel 

time more consistent. These 

improvements will encourage 

people to use the bus at peak 

times. 

The problem is what happens 

when these buses (and all the 

cars from the ever-growing 

numbers of houses) arrive at the 

gates of Addington Village – the 

intersection with Whiteleigh 

Ave? Although the need for the 

improvement of this intersection 

is well understood, we need plans 

and action. 

The stated reason for the fourlaning 

is to enable increased bus 

frequency and increased bus 

reliability. 

However, buses already run 

every 15min, and we query how 

much this frequency can be 

increased. Our counts 

show that buses are already 

nearly full at peak 

times, so it’s unlikely 

that the improved reliability 

can do much to 

boost patronage in the 

face of ongoing population 

growth. 

And again, what happens 

when these buses 

arrive at Addington? 

There is clearly the 

potential for Addington 

Village to drown in a sea 

of cars (and buses). 

Halswell Residents’ 

Association would like to 

see some outside-the-square 

thinking about both transport 

and work in the south-west of 

Christchurch (including Prebbleton, 

Lincoln, Rolleston), rather 

than the piecemeal approach that 

city council seems to be following. 

This was an idea we got from 

Wigram MP Megan Woods. It 

fits well with the intent of the 

Greater Christchurch Urban 

Development Strategy, and seems 

pretty good to us. 

Some random ideas come t 

mind too: Mixed-mode travel, 

car-sharing, e-bike subsidies, 

work-from-home schemes and 

children going to their local 

schools. 

ABOUT 300 dead birds have 

been discovered around the 

Bromley oxidation ponds. 

Initial indications suggest 

the birds have fallen victim to 

avian botulism, a disease which 

causes paralysis in birds and 

often results in death. 

Outbreaks of avian botulism 

are not uncommon in New 

Zealand and other parts of the 

world, and have occurred in 

Christchurch previously. 

The city council is removing 

the dead birds in an attempt to 

slow the spread of the disease. 

It is also checking other 

wetland areas to check whether 

any of them have been affected 

by the disease, which is caused 

when birds eat toxin produced 

by clostridium botulinum 

bacteria. 

Clostridium botulinum 

naturally occurs in soils found 

in ponds and wetlands. It is 

harmless until the right environmental 

factors occur. 

Most avian botulism outbreaks 

are caused by ducks

CHRISTMAS CAME early for 

Hank the border collie cross. 

After featuring as poster boy 

for Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust’s 

2018 calendar and more than 

two months at the trust, the 

two-year-old was adopted on 

December 24. 

He starred on the front page of 

the Southern View over Christmas. 

So he now has a new home 

– and a new name. He is now 

called Gus. His new owner said 

he had come along way in a short 

space of time – describing him as 

a “dolphin” in the water. 

“He is very affectionate and 

gaining more confidence as he 

gets to know the neighbourhood. 

He is very responsive to commands 

and appears a quick and 

willing learner.” 

“I think further down the 

track when he is completely 

chilled he will enjoy his new 

home.” 

The bright, lovely and playful 

animal, according to trust 

manager Pam Howard, had been 

without a home since October. 

Mrs Howard said many people 

had wanted to adopt Gus, but 

just weren’t a right fit.

She described Gus as “resource

snarls at other animals and people

might be guarding. 

“He just needs an owner that 

understands when dogs have 

quirks you work with them and 

you don’t set them up to fail,” 

Mrs Howard said.

Somerfield woman’s exercise cure 

PROGRESS: Less than a year after her knee and hip 

replacements, Jude Nuttridge is walking tracks such as the 

Rob Roy Glacier. 

LAST Christmas, Jude 

Nuttridge was awaiting 

replacements – two knees and 

one hip. 

This Christmas, the 

Somerfield resident completed 

the Rob Roy Glacier track – as 

well as a couple more walks that 

she says “for me would have 

been impossible.” 

She credits a programme 

available in south-west 

Christchurch, which she says 

changed her life forever. 

She enrolled last year in Sport 

Canterbury’s Be Active course 

in Spreydon. In term 1 this year, 

the same course is available 

in the Wigram, Sockburn and 

Hornby areas, as well as again at 

Spreydon. 

When Mrs Nuttridge arrived 

at her first Be Active session, 

she didn’t know a single person 

there. 

“It was a great mix of people. 

If you’re numbering people’s 

(fitness) from one to 10, there 

were ones and 10s. The last 

thing you want to turn up to is a 

bunch of lycra-clad gurus.” 

Be Active programme 

participants appreciate the 

variety of low-impact activities 

on offer from circuit, boxing 

and badminton, to tai chi 

and Zumba. During group 

discussions, participants share 

ways of maintaining a healthy 

lifestyle, drawing on support 

from group leaders and fellow 

participants. 

According to Mrs Nuttridge, 

“the other thing that stands 

out in my mind were the 

personalities of the two girls, 

Sam and Abby. They were so 

welcoming, so friendly.” 

Mrs Nuttridge’s doctor had 

given her two options for her 

knee and hip pain – wait on 

replacements or hold off as long 

as you can by increasing your 

mobility. 

“It (Be Active) just gave me 

some impetus to think I can do 

this. 

“I don’t need to let this 

dominate.” 

Mrs Nuttridge’s family 

admires the commitment she 

has made to getting active and 

changing her life. 

“I’ve got two grown-up 

daughters who say ‘mum, it’s 

like a miracle.’ I don’t feel like 

a person who’s got an issue any 

more. I feel like a person who 

occasionally has sore knees and 

sore hips. Yes, it can be a drag 

and it can slow you down, but it 

doesn’t stop you doing things.” 

Mrs Nuttridge has been 

grateful to the team at Sport 

Canterbury for supporting her 

to try new activities that benefit 

all aspects of her life. 

“You just do it and get it over 

with. The more you do, the 

more you can do. Be Active 

gets your head into a different 

space, which I think is really 

important.” 

“You stop being a victim and 

start becoming the master of 

your destiny.”

Southern View Keep 

New year – 

new family store 

in Sydenham 

For the Salvation Army’s Sydenham congregation and 

the local community, the start of the New Year has been 

marked with the launch of a new Salvation Army Family 

Store in Sydenham. 

Located on the corner of Carlyle and Gasson streets, 

the store opened its doors on January 3, replacing the 

small shop that was part of the church premises on the 

Colombo/Southampton Street corner. 

“Our spacious new store now sells furniture in addition 

to clothing, bric-a-brac, books and toys. We would be 

very grateful for any donations of furniture, which we 

are happy to collect. The number to call is 332 8277 to 

arrange collection, or alternatively it can be dropped 

into the store,” operations manager Greg Kendrew says. 

Greg is keen to acknowledge the generosity of people 

in the community that donate items to the Salvation 

Army, and also the 25 volunteers that work in the store. 

“They make the place happen – we couldn’t do it 

without them,” he says. 

Proceeds from the sales go towards the range of 

community services provided by the Salvation Army 

in Sydenham. These include counselling, budgeting 

advice, foodbank, and their DALTA Team, a group of 

volunteers who work in the community three days a 

week helping people with tasks around their home and 

property, which they are unable to manage themselves. 

“These are people who perhaps have fallen through the 

cracks and have not had access to government agency or 

other services. We look at their situation and step in to 

provide solutions for them if appropriate,” Greg says. 

The new Salvation Army Family Store in Sydenham 

is open Monday to Friday, 9am-4.30pm and Saturday, 

9.30am-1.30pm.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

New premises 

for car light 

specialists 

NEW 

LOCATION 

95 

gasson st 

Long-established car light specialists, 

Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their 

lights from a sparkling new address – just 

around the corner from their familiar 

Brougham Street site. 

Just prior to Christmas, the business 

moved from 325 Brougham Street to 95 

Gasson St, where they offer a brighter 

showroom, easier access for their customers 

and plenty of off-street parking. 

“We’re all set up in our new premises,” 

sales manager Richard Vernimmen says, 

“and continuing to provide our customers 

with an extensive range of replacement 

lights for most Japanese, European and 

New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover 

most vehicles on the road, and all our lights 

are fully checked and in perfect working 

order.” 

If they don’t have it in stock, they can 

source it from one of the other branches in 

the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE 

is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of 

car, truck and commercial parts. 

Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair 

service for headlights, with their skilled 

staff of three having 80 years’ experience 

in the automotive trade between them. 

They also specialise in light adjuster and 

light conversion of American 

car lights and their repair 

service includes plastic 

welding, drying out, and 

re-silvering, re-sealing 

and lens refurbishment. 

Their services can also 

be arranged through 

your own local garage or 

workshop. 

So, next time you need 

replacement car lights, call 

into Braxton Car Lights’ bright new 

showroom, 95 Gasson St, phone 0800 225

Belly dancing fun 

for men & women 

The new term of Beginners belly dance 

classes at Kashmir Belly Dance in South 

Brighton starts in February. The class will 

be on Monday evenings from February 12 

at 6.30pm, while a mixed class (men and 

women) will be on Thursday evenings from 

February 15 at 7.30pm. 

Anyone enrolling and pre-paying by 

February 10 will receive a $20 discount. 

Enrolments are through the website, www. 

bellyraqs.co.nz. 

The eight, 75-minute classes comprise an 

hour of dance movement and 15 minutes of 

background information on belly dancing, 

with videos and music. 

With one husband and wife already signed 

up, instructor Kashmir is encouraging more 

men to join the mixed class. 

“Belly dancing is not just for women,” she 

says. “It is fun and enjoyable for everyone.” 

Belly dancing can also be a step on the way 

to a new fitness regime, and participants get 

to know how their body works through the 

various movements, Kashmir says. 

Kashmir Belly Dance is located at 8 

Drake Street, South Brighton. 

Traditional 

social dancing 

of Scotland 

For hundreds of years Scottish Country 

Dancing was enjoyed at every level of 

society, from royal ballrooms to village halls. 

Over the last 100 years it has been developed 

to maintain its unique style and music, while 

keeping pace with the modern world. 

There are Scottish Country Dance clubs 

on every continent of the world, which is 

testament to the universal appeal of the 

dancing. Here in the Christchurch area there 

are nine clubs providing the opportunity to 

enjoy this pastime Monday to Thursday, plus 

a children’s class on Saturday mornings and 

combined dances most Saturday evenings. 

The health benefits of Scottish Country 

Dancing are documented. The physical 

movements exercise the body. The patterns 

of the dances are great for keeping the brain 

on its toes. The music, which lifts the spirits, 

and the social interaction complete the 

package. 

Come and give it a go.

House of Cards is a day-time bridge club 

situated in Merivale. Our philosophy is to 

provide a friendly, family-type environment 

for bridge players. 

Bridge is not only a wonderful, stimulating 

game, it is also splendidly social. We have 

had much pleasure in seeing many new 

friendships flourish over the years. 

House of Cards is especially renowned 

for its teaching and we have taught literally 

thousands of beginners as well as improvers, 

in Christchurch and around New Zealand. 

We have run several national teachers’ 

conferences and have been instrumental 

in creating a national standard for bridge 

teachers. 

We have also written a whole series of 

bridge books for new and improving players 

which are widely used in New Zealand, 

Australia and the United Kingdom. 

We are a friendly, enthusiastic team who 

welcome new players. We have four sessions 

dedicated especially for the novice player, so 

you needn’t feel nervous!

Just step on the mat… 

This is the advice given to people who 

want to learn aikido, Aikido Shinryukan 

Canterbury’s chief instructor Andrew 

Williamson says. 

“It really is that easy. Of course, every 

new student is naturally apprehensive about 

beginning a Japanese martial art – we have 

all ‘been there’. But to begin you need to take 

that first step and it really is not that scary.” 

Beginners are eased into training through 

basics classes. 

“Step by step we build your knowledge. 

We focus on beginners understanding the 

fundamentals of aikido so they can enjoy 

developing their skills. Anyone can do 

WORKOUT, 

SWIM, RELAX 

aikido regardless of age or fitness,” Andrew 

says. 

“We want students to develop technically 

and physically as quickly as they are 

capable. We can then introduce them to 

more advanced training and international 

instructors and build on the total knowledge 

base held in our group.” 

Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury offers daily 

classes for adults and children in Burnside 

and Linwood. 

For February, beginners may train 

for just $20. For more information 

phone Andrew, 021 343 672, Website

Line up for fun – 

learn to Line Dance 

The dance floor – a place where bills and 

responsibility don’t exist, where stress is 

gone and nothing matters but the music. The 

dance floor is freedom, say the Cathedral 

City Line Dancers. 

A recent German study tested people 

who tried different forms of exercise and 

then measured their hippocampuses (the 

memory centre of their brains) and those 

who did Line Dancing were better protected 

from dementia and memory loss. 

So, if you like to dance, want a social life 

with a friendly bunch of people and a lot of 

laughs while exercising your brain, then Line 

Dancing could be just what you are looking 

for. They even cater for people with two left 

feet. 

You can have all this, plus meet new 

friends by joining Cathedral City Line 

Dancers and learning to dance with Mary. 

For details, see the advertisement on this

New programmes

School of Music 

The Christchurch School of Music has 

introduced some great new programmes in

a musical journey and this year a beginner

For $52 the student will get a group class for 

34 weeks, a good quality recorder and a tutor 

book!! 

For players of wind, brass and percussion 

there will be a big band in 2018 and we 

are launching it with a weekend workshop 

run by big band legend, Rodger Fox. The 

workshop will be held from 23-25 February 

and is being held in the Catholic Cathedral 

College Hall. 

For singers there will be two new choirs, 

the Christchurch Children’s Choir, an allcomers 

choir for 8-12 year olds and the 

Christchurch Girls’ Choir, an auditioned 

choir for girls aged 10-15. Auditions for the 

Girls’ Choir will be held on Wednesday 7 

March and audition packs are now available. 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in and 

around Christchurch. 

On a Saturday morning the whole family 

can find something to suit. Children from 

2-7 years old can join in our experiential

and adults may opt for group or individual 

lessons on a specific instrument (including 

voice). Weekday lessons are also available. 

Those who already play are welcome to join 

in one of the great ensembles which all take 

part in regular concerts.

Exercise 

sharpens young 

adult brains 

Regular physical activity improves brain function 

even in young adults considered in their prime 

and at the height of cognitive ability, according to 

a University of Otago study. 

A body of research already exists showing 

aerobic exercise improves brain function 

in older adults, but there is a limited 

amount of literature on how it affects 

young adults. 

The Otago researchers, led by 

Department of Psychology Senior 

Lecturer Dr Liana Machado, set out to 

test the oft-held belief that the brains of 

young adults in their prime might not 

benefit as much as older people from 

regular sustained exercise. 

They took 52 tertiary students, aged 

between 18 to 30, and put them through 

a series of cognitive tests on a computer 

while measuring oxygen availability in 

the frontal lobe of their brains, as well as 

their self-reported exercise frequency. 

Dr Machado says their “surprising” 

findings, just published online in the 

journal Psychophysiology, show that 

both blood supply to the brain and 

cognitive functioning appear to benefit 

from regular exercise in young adults. 

“This provides compelling evidence 

that regular exercise, at least five days per 

week, is a way to sharpen our cognitive 

ability as young adults – challenging 

the assumption that living a sedentary 

lifestyle leads to problems only later in 

life,” she says. 

The research also provides potential 

insight into understanding why people 

who regularly engage in aerobic exercise 

tend to function better on a cognitive 

level. 

“I think the idea that young people do 

not have to worry about exercising since 

they are in their prime developmentally 

is rapidly being overturned by mounting 

evidence that even the brains of young 

adults can benefit from regular exercise,” 

she says. 

“The exercise could involve brisk 

walking or more vigorous activity, and 

could be made up of a few 10 minute 

bouts of exercise, rather than one single 

block of exercise,” she says. 

The researchers also found that body 

mass index was not a key factor in how 

well the brain functioned, indicating that 

regular engagement in physical activity 

may be more important than body 

weight. 

Dr Machado says she had noticed 

over the years that university students 

appeared progressively less fit. 

“I wondered whether we might find 

significant relationships between exercise 

levels, oxygen availability in the brain, 

and cognition in the young adults, but 

no studies had considered this in healthy 

young adults.” 

These findings come at a time of 

increased scientific focus on links 

between exercise and cognitive health in 

older adults.
