OVERFLOWING Bishopdale<br />

rubbish bins won’t be collected<br />

more frequently, nor will they<br />

have their size increased.<br />

An outcry from Sumner<br />

residents saw the bins along The<br />

Esplanade being cleared twice as<br />

often.<br />

But Leacroft St resident<br />

Graham Adams said he is “frustrated”<br />

the same isn’t happening<br />

in Bishopdale Park.<br />

Mr Adams has been calling for<br />

the city council to install larger<br />

bins or collect the bins more<br />

frequently at the park across from<br />

his house with no success.<br />

“We all pay rates. It’s part of<br />

that.”<br />

from the reporter’s desk<br />

WE HEAR a lot about rubbish problems along popular beach<br />

spots.<br />

But on today’s front page we see it’s not only Sumner and<br />

New Brighton that are dealing with overflowing bins.<br />

Residents using a local suburban park in Bishopdale are<br />

fighting their own battle trying to get bins cleared so rubbish<br />

isn’t left to fly around in the strong nor-westerly wind.<br />

It’s been a hot summer so it is no wonder the parks are busy<br />

with families and, as a result, the bins are full.<br />

The city council does increase the amount of times bins are<br />

cleared at this time of year, but clearly it’s not quite doing the<br />

trick.<br />

Maybe it’s time for people to start taking their rubbish home<br />

with them?<br />

Potholes reason for ‘poor’ roads<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

“THIS IS just totally<br />

unacceptable.”<br />

Those are the words of Papanui-Innes<br />

Community Board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones, who said<br />

the amount of potholes across<br />

the two wards is too high.<br />

Ms Jones and the board are<br />

lobbying to get signs of the<br />

<strong>February</strong> 22, 2011, earthquake<br />

removed, saying it has now been<br />

seven years.<br />

“This is just<br />

another part<br />

of our recovery<br />

. . . not to<br />

be looking at<br />

this kind of<br />

thing every<br />

day,” she said.<br />

It comes<br />

Ali Jones<br />

as the board<br />

asked the<br />

city council for advice on what<br />

it can do in terms of dealing<br />

with abandoned and vacant<br />

properties, which are becoming<br />

“eyesores” and risks in terms of<br />

vandalism and arson.<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel supported<br />

the idea.<br />

“We need initial advice on<br />

what the current rules are and<br />

how they’re applied and whether<br />

there are any changes around<br />

the regulatory process we could<br />

Ms Jones said the roads went<br />

hand-in-hand with the abandoned<br />

properties.<br />

“We just want some emphasis<br />

and effort put in around our<br />

pavements and roads,” she said.<br />

Ms Jones said streets in St<br />

Albans around Rugby Park were<br />

particularly poor and were not<br />

planned for repair in the near<br />

future.<br />

“I think that’s pretty awful<br />

around, walking dogs and driving<br />

said.<br />

Ms Jones said its about getting<br />

the “basics right” to move on<br />

from the earthquakes.<br />

“I know the pressure the council<br />

is under and the issues around<br />

standards of repair but this is just<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

Charity work<br />

For a while now, Steve and I have helped<br />

out charity organizations in Christchurch.<br />

We are involved with CPL, redzonecats and<br />

more recently the SPCA. We all really enjoy<br />

the involvement and working relationship<br />

we have with these organizations, ensuring<br />

that these animals get “Gold” Standard<br />

treatment and care in our hospital, just like<br />

any of our pets would receive.<br />

Megan and a tabby kitten in for desexing.<br />

What has amazed me is the total<br />

commitment , kindness and compassion<br />

the inspectors, fosterers, vets and carers we<br />

have dealt with have for these homeless,<br />

sick and often abused animals. Many of<br />

these people work voluntarily. It is not an<br />

easy job, physically or emotionally. They<br />

see a lot of things we shouldn’t have to<br />

be exposed to. They often transform<br />

their homes to cater for the fast growing<br />

number of cats to care for. They do the<br />

very best in terms of nutrition and pet care.<br />

They genuinely care and want to improve<br />

the life and health for this animal.<br />

Working with the CPL means we mainly<br />

desex, microchip and vaccinate kittens who<br />

are living with fosterers until they are ready<br />

to be put up for adoption. One of the best<br />

parts of our day is cuddling these kittens<br />

– all are so cute and huggable. Robyn<br />

who we liase with, has worked tirelessly<br />

and voluntarily for over 25 years for the<br />

CPL and is just one of the kindest most<br />

generous people I know. She makes a huge<br />

difference in the lives of those kittens and<br />

has a dedicated team of fosterers to help.<br />

CPL kittens awaiting their surgery.<br />

Redzonecats also do a remarkable job,<br />

a job no one else was prepared to do, in<br />

that they carefully monitor and trap stray<br />

cats in earthquake redzoned areas and<br />

endeavor to find their previous owners or<br />

socialize and rehome these cats to loving<br />

families. Many of these cats have been<br />

alone and “just surviving” since 2011 and<br />

so are difficult for us to handle without<br />

sedation. Initially we check these cats for<br />

FIV and FeLV ( Feline Aids or Feline leukemia<br />

Virus) and if they test negative we will often<br />

desex and vaccinate these cats, perform<br />

dentistry on mouths that require it, and<br />

groom or xray where appropriate. These<br />

cats are given a fantastic chance and we<br />

all treat them with respect, kindness and<br />

humility. We love helping out Jane and her<br />

cats. Another outstanding woman who<br />

genuinely cares about animals.<br />

Recently we have started working<br />

alongside the SPCA. This has been<br />

particularly rewarding diagnosing and<br />

treating these animals to the best of<br />

our ability and providing them with a<br />

level of kindness and care they often<br />

haven’t experienced before. The SPCA<br />

inspectors we deal with are a wonderful<br />

bunch of passionate, gentle people who<br />

are solely dedicated to helping improve<br />

the lives of the animals in their care. We<br />

examine sick and uplifted animals, provide<br />

diagnostics such as xrays, blood testing<br />

and ultrasounds where necessary and<br />

we provide intensive care monitoring if<br />

needed. Due to being open 7 days, the<br />

weekends can often be busy checking out<br />

SPCA patients and providing a treatment<br />

plan.<br />

We even see tortoises - here Kirsty is<br />

performing a hind leg amputation<br />

to save its life.<br />

Steve and I are very proud to be<br />

associated with the above organizations<br />

and we have met some fabulous people<br />

along the way, who all share our views<br />

that a pets’ life is just as important as our<br />

own, and these special furry friends of ours<br />

should be treated and cared for exactly<br />

the same. We are all headed in the same<br />

direction whereby we want to decrease<br />

animal abuse and abandonment by way of<br />

providing the correct education to people,<br />

care that is affordable and showing respect<br />

and kindness to everyone, regardless of<br />

where they come from. Everyone does<br />

deserve the love and companionship of<br />

owning a pet but it’s not a decision to be<br />

taken lightly and the correct advice and<br />

education from us as health professionals is<br />

vitally important for a successful outcome.<br />

Dr Michele McMaster<br />

Overflowing bins ‘frustrate’<br />

•From page 1<br />

Mr Adams said just<br />

like the Sumner beaches,<br />

the “elephant” park is<br />

used more frequently in<br />

summer and the bins are<br />

overflowing every week.<br />

Saturday and Sundays<br />

nights are the worst before<br />

the bin is cleared on Monday<br />

morning, Mr Adams<br />

said. He said the windy<br />

summer has meant litter<br />

has blown around the park.<br />

“When they clear it,<br />

they only pick up rubbish<br />

around the bin. It can go for<br />

miles if it’s really blowing.”<br />

City council operations<br />

manager neighbourhood<br />

and sports parks Al Hardy<br />

said the number of times<br />

the three bins at the park<br />

are cleared was increased<br />

to four times a week over<br />

summer.<br />

“A programme for regular<br />

visits is put in place. Where<br />

a call is received outside<br />

what is planned, contractors<br />

will then organise to<br />

empty the bins concerned.”<br />

But Mr Adams said that<br />

is not enough.<br />

He has contacted the city<br />

council on multiple occasions<br />

via telephone, email<br />

and its Snap Send Solve app<br />

CLEAN UP: Graham Adams took this photo of<br />

rubbish piling up at Bishopdale Park last week.<br />

to report overflowing bins<br />

in the park.<br />

Mr Hardy said the city<br />

council had received five<br />

complaints about overflowing<br />

bins in the last year.<br />

Mr Adams said it was<br />

not “rocket science” to see<br />

that the bins needed to be<br />

bigger. He said he spoke<br />

to someone from the city<br />

council parks team about<br />

the idea. “They assured<br />

me it would be done.” But<br />

Mr Hardy said there was<br />

no report of a request for<br />

larger bins. “Just reports of<br />

overflowing bins.”<br />

Signs for my petition to support the<br />

Christchurch Northern motorway<br />

extension from Belfast to Pegasus<br />

Last year, National committed to<br />

the next tranche of major roading<br />

our regions. These build on the<br />

success of projects like our Western<br />

integrated traffic solutions that we<br />

can move our motorists through<br />

our regions smoothly. We need a<br />

firm commitment from Government<br />

that these projects will go ahead as<br />

promised in Budget 2017 and that<br />

if a larger bin was<br />

Study into Cranford St traffic<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

THE IMPACT the $240 million<br />

Northern Corridor will have on<br />

Cranford and Sherbourne Sts is<br />

being investigated.<br />

THe city council has<br />

appointed an independent<br />

expert to manage the predicted<br />

downstream effect of an<br />

increase in<br />

traffic through<br />

St Albans and<br />

Edgeware into<br />

as part of the<br />

City council manager planning<br />

and delivery transport<br />

Lynette Ellis said as part of the<br />

Northern Arterial and Cranford<br />

St upgrade the city council has<br />

to undertake a Downstream Effects<br />

Management Plan.<br />

“This management plan is to<br />

ensure the downstream effects<br />

of the Northern Corridor and<br />

Cranford St upgrade are appropriately<br />

managed and assess<br />

the existence, nature and extent<br />

of increased traffic on streets<br />

adjoining Cranford St,” Ms Ellis<br />

said.<br />

A management plan was<br />

included as part of the resource<br />

consent for the Northern Corridor<br />

granted by the Environment<br />

Court.<br />

The city council has had to appoint<br />

an independent expert to<br />

assess how increased traffic will<br />

impact on the surrounding road<br />

network, Ms Ellis said.<br />

The city council has named<br />

Dr Turner has begun working<br />

on a report that will determine<br />

a series of possible measures<br />

which will mitigate those impacts.<br />

Ms Ellis said he was chosen<br />

for his expertise in the field and<br />

because he was not conflicted in<br />

terms of any previous involvement<br />

of the project or with<br />

competing projects in the area.<br />

“This work, informed by<br />

traffic modelling, will be crossreferenced<br />

to traffic counts and<br />

a monitoring regime,” Ms Ellis<br />

said.<br />

The city council will also<br />

begin engaging with “key stakeholders”<br />

and the local community<br />

to determine any potential<br />

solutions they would like to see<br />

in the management plan.<br />

“The city council will operate<br />

a monitoring regime to examine<br />

impacts post construction –<br />

ensuring measures that are<br />

Trust building<br />

relocated<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

A NEW building for the Shirley<br />

Community Trust was relocated<br />

from St Albans to MacFarlane<br />

Park yesterday.<br />

The building, which has a large<br />

meeting room, two offices, a<br />

kitchen and toilets, was donated<br />

to the city by the Lions Clubs<br />

International Foundation following<br />

the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

It was previously used as<br />

the St Albans Community Centre<br />

on Colombo St.<br />

There were some delays to the<br />

process as the city council initially<br />

estimated the cost to relocate<br />

the building would be $100,000.<br />

However, more detailed planning<br />

revealed it would cost $225,000.<br />

The initial $100,000 was approved<br />

through the city council’s<br />

Annual Plan. An additional<br />

$125,000 was fast tracked for the<br />

move.<br />

The trust has been mainly operating<br />

out of a small building at<br />

MacFarlane Park for 16 years.<br />

Trust manager Jane Mitchell<br />

said the new building is a “very<br />

exciting” prospect.<br />

“We will still be operating<br />

out of the smaller building, but<br />

now there will be room for other<br />

things to happen,” Mrs Mitchell<br />

said.<br />

SALLY MCPHERSON loves all<br />

things equine.<br />

Now the 17-year-old Rangi<br />

Ruru Girls’ School student has<br />

been named in the New Zealand<br />

Team for the American Quarter<br />

Horse Youth World Cup in<br />

Bryan, Texas.<br />

But don’t get it confused with<br />

rodeo.<br />

Think dressage with a western<br />

twist, that’s american quarter<br />

horse, Sally said.<br />

“It’s not rodeo. “It’s very precise<br />

and technical. But it’s also<br />

very colourful and sparkly unlike<br />

the more demure dressage,”<br />

she said.<br />

Sally said there’s a fair bit of<br />

bling involved in the outfits<br />

which are quite heavy from all<br />

the rhinestones.<br />

“Some jackets and tops can<br />

cost tens of thousands of dollars.<br />

Many are specially made for the<br />

competitor and the horses are<br />

also bedazzled,” she said.<br />

Sally and her team will head to<br />

the United States in June to compete<br />

for medals in cutting, reining,<br />

horsemanship, ranch riding,<br />

trail, western riding, hunt seat<br />

equitation, hunter under saddle<br />

and showmanship.<br />

She will have a horse provided<br />

by the organisers.<br />

She’s the only Christchurch<br />

member of the youth team and<br />

Sally said it’s the realisation of a<br />

goal she set herself many years<br />

ago.<br />

“I have been working towards<br />

this for a long time,” she said.<br />

“My aim is to learn as much<br />

as I can and be proud of my<br />

achievements. It’ll be the best experience<br />

and biggest opportunity<br />

yet, to meet others and compete<br />

on the international stage.”<br />

Sally grew up in a family who<br />

Intersection made safer<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SAFETY concerns at a Papanui<br />

intersection are being addressed<br />

with a new road layout.<br />

The intersection of Cranford<br />

and Fraser Sts has had two new<br />

traffic islands following fears of<br />

mishaps around Papanui Primary<br />

School.<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board deputy chairwoman<br />

Emma Norrish said she has head<br />

concerns for safety of motorists<br />

and pedestrians from a number<br />

of locals when turning right off<br />

Fraser St onto Cranford St.<br />

The New Zealand<br />

Transport<br />

Agency was lobbied<br />

by the city<br />

council to install<br />

the new traffic<br />

islands, with<br />

work finishing<br />

Emma Norish<br />

on Friday.<br />

“The new traffic<br />

islands will<br />

make turning right out of Fraser<br />

St easier and safer by ensuring<br />

Cranford St Drivers don’t enter<br />

the right hand lane too soon or<br />

use the right turn lane as a short<br />

cut to Main North Rd,” a letter to<br />

residents from NZTA said.<br />

The islands will guide vehicles<br />

from Fraser St into the correct<br />

lane and ensure drivers on Cranford<br />

St don’t stray into the right<br />

lane.<br />

“This new layout should make<br />

this intersection easier and safer<br />

to use,” the letter said.<br />

SAFE: Two new traffic islands have been<br />

installed on Cranford St.<br />

PHOTO: THINK PAPANUI<br />

Ms Norrish said traffic flow<br />

onto Fraser St had increased since<br />

work began on the Northern Corridor.<br />

“So I’m glad these concerns<br />

are being addressed,” she said.<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board is targeting<br />

abandoned and vacant<br />

properties in the area<br />

that could be targeted<br />

by vandals, a reader<br />

responded reporting<br />

another property at 21<br />

Francis Ave in St Albans<br />

Christine Abbasi –There is<br />

a property in Francis Ave, the<br />

house numbers on either side of<br />

it are 19 and 25 so am unsure of<br />

its correct number. It appears<br />

to be on a single section. It<br />

is single-storey with garden<br />

vegetation now all over it. Last<br />

winter there was a derelict car<br />

parked beside it but that is now<br />

totally covered in vegetation<br />

too. It is sad as the rest of the<br />

houses in the street are well<br />

cared for. I look forward to<br />

hearing of the progress. Do<br />

these owners pay rates? If not<br />

the city council should be able<br />

to move them on.<br />

History group revived<br />

St Albans<br />

History Group<br />

chairman<br />

David Spear<br />

writes<br />

about the<br />

regeneration<br />

of the group<br />

following the earthquakes<br />

The St Albans History Group<br />

grew out of a bus trip around the<br />

suburb in 1998 organised by the<br />

late Muriel Soanes.<br />

She had been a leader in the<br />

movement to oppose the planned<br />

motorway through the area and<br />

had an extensive knowledge of<br />

the history of the suburb.<br />

Mrs Soanes lived in St Albans<br />

all her life and, in fact, at that<br />

time was living in the house in<br />

which she was born some 100<br />

years earlier.<br />

A number of those who enjoyed<br />

the bus trip and were interested<br />

in the history experience felt that<br />

there was a need to establish a<br />

history group in the area.<br />

A public meeting was called<br />

and from a considerable attendance,<br />

a small committee was<br />

formed and a group of interested<br />

members began meeting on a<br />

monthly basis.<br />

Initially these meetings were<br />

held in private homes, but once<br />

the St Albans Resource Centre<br />

at the former St Albans library<br />

came into being, we used this as<br />

a base.<br />

Of course members aged, they<br />

moved from the district and<br />

numbers declined.<br />

The earthquakes shook the<br />

life out of much of our work and<br />

regular meetings ceased.<br />

The remaining members kept<br />

in touch and did their best to not<br />

only record the history of the<br />

area, publish articles of general<br />

interest in the community news,<br />

and act as a point of reference for<br />

those wishing to preserve the history<br />

of the suburb.<br />

More recently, meetings have<br />

been revived and the group again<br />

meets monthly to discuss recent<br />

discoveries and share knowledge<br />

of the area.<br />

The book Swamp to Suburb<br />

TIME: The St Albans History Group meets monthly to share<br />

stories about the area.<br />

published in 1989 by the Federation<br />

of University Women<br />

provides a wealth of information<br />

and it has always been our aim<br />

to extend this information and<br />

record further topics not fully<br />

covered.<br />

Over the years topics researched<br />

have included notable<br />

identities, local natural features,<br />

prominent buildings and local<br />

industries.<strong>News</strong> sheets have been<br />

produced recording the information<br />

and they have provided the<br />

basis for articles in the community<br />

news.<br />

The group had hoped to<br />

obtain copies of photos of early<br />

St Albans but these have proved<br />

elusive. A collection of portraits<br />

of the mayors of the borough<br />

remains incomplete with two also<br />

eluding us.<br />

Archaeology is rather thin on,<br />

or rather under the ground, in St<br />

Albans. In general terms the area<br />

has been subjected to not much<br />

over 160 years of human activity.<br />

Unlike the United Kingdom,<br />

we don’t have layers of Stone<br />

Age, Iron Age, Roman, Medieval<br />

and Tudor occupation evident in<br />

excavations.<br />

However, the history of St Albans<br />

is rich in human affairs.<br />

The people who lived there and<br />

the many who still do, provide an<br />

insight into what was going on in<br />

our city.<br />

Recent natural disasters may<br />

have damaged and destroyed<br />

buildings and we may have lost<br />

forever the bricks and mortar but<br />

the history of St Albans remains<br />

intact. The history of the area is<br />

the story of the residents.<br />

Chairman of the Papanui<br />

Heritage Group Murray<br />

Williams writes about<br />

the establishment of the<br />

Papanui Primary School<br />

dental clinic<br />

The first official indicator of<br />

the sorry state of New Zealanders’<br />

dental health was revealed<br />

when a significant number of<br />

men were turned down for<br />

military service in World War 1<br />

because of the poor condition of<br />

their teeth.<br />

Eventually the Government<br />

realised that any improvement<br />

would have to start with better<br />

care of children’s teeth and in<br />

1921 a commitment was made to<br />

provide for Government funding<br />

of the training of young women<br />

as dental nurses who then were<br />

deemed competent to care for<br />

primary school children’s teeth<br />

The Papanui School clinic was<br />

opened in May 1930 and the services<br />

of the dental nurse were to<br />

be shared with Waimairi School.<br />

Parents were obviously keen<br />

to have their children’s dental<br />

needs attended to but were not<br />

impressed when it was revealed<br />

that they were expected to pay<br />

some of the expenses.<br />

In October 1933, the Papanui<br />

School committee determined<br />

that parents would be charged<br />

2/6 (25 cents) per child or five<br />

shillings (50 cents) per family as<br />

an annual levy.<br />

It was pointed out that this was<br />

still much cheaper that the cost<br />

of private dental care.<br />

Parents who could not afford<br />

what the<br />

clinic<br />

would<br />

have<br />

looked<br />

like.<br />

Murder house memories<br />

the school charge could apply<br />

to the school committee to have<br />

the fees waived but by 1935 even<br />

better-off parents were refusing<br />

to pay the charge.<br />

In 1934, the Waimairi County<br />

Council had offered to supply<br />

electric power to the clinic at no<br />

cost to the school, thus reducing<br />

running expenses.<br />

In August 1934, the Papanui<br />

school dental nurse offered an<br />

annual prize to the child with<br />

the cleanest teeth but even this<br />

inducement probably did little<br />

to change juvenile attitudes to<br />

attending the ‘murder house.’<br />

It was not unknown for pupils<br />

summoned for their turn in the<br />

chair to take an unscheduled but<br />

speedy trip home.<br />

Instruments were sterilised<br />

with boiling water. Wall posters<br />

exhorted children to clean their<br />

teeth regularly. The chair was<br />

wooden with little scope for adjustment<br />

for patient comfort.<br />

However, the most feared feature<br />

was the drill operated by the<br />

nurse via a foot-operated treadle,<br />

thus the speed of the procedure<br />

was a direct function of the<br />

energy applied.<br />

By the end of the day a weary<br />

nurse could have inadvertently<br />

slowed the drill to create an even<br />

more painful experience for the<br />

young patient undergoing preparation<br />

for a filling.<br />

Dance sport medals for teacher<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

ST MARGARET’S College<br />

dance teacher Stacy Goldsworthy<br />

helped a number of teams win<br />

medals at the New Zealand<br />

Masters Games in dance sport.<br />

The 36-year-old was involved<br />

with three teams that one gold,<br />

silver and bronze during the<br />

competition held on Waitangi<br />

weekend in Dunedin.<br />

She was one of 10 in a formation<br />

team who won gold, which<br />

requires the dancers to make as<br />

many different formations as they<br />

can in three-and-a-half minutes<br />

while facing the four sets of<br />

judges at all times.<br />

The team was made up of Molly<br />

Chapman, Rebecca Abrahams,<br />

Sarah-Jane Haywood, Kate Podmore,<br />

Sarah Van Hoof, Hayley<br />

Toso, Caroline Stevenson, Kay<br />

McDonald and Sue Gledhill.<br />

Goldsworthy then took part<br />

in a quartet, which also featured<br />

Rebecca Abraham, Sarah-Jane<br />

Haywood and Kate Podmore<br />

tap dancing, and was awarded a<br />

silver medal.<br />

“In my whole dancing career<br />

of about 33 years it was the most<br />

fun I have had on stage. For some<br />

DANCE STARS:<br />

(Left to right) –<br />

Stacy Goldsworthy,<br />

Rebecca<br />

Abrahams, Sarah-<br />

Jane Haywood<br />

and Kate Podmore<br />

placed second in<br />

the quartet.<br />

reason, it was such a highlight to<br />

dance with them,” she said.<br />

She also received a bronze<br />

medal for another formation routine<br />

with a separate team made<br />

up of Toso, Van Hoof, Chapman,<br />

McDonald and Stevenson.<br />

Goldsworthy got into dance<br />

when she was three-years-old,<br />

following in her mother tap<br />

dancing footsteps.<br />

Now she teaches dance at St<br />

Margaret’s but said her passion is<br />

about winning medals.<br />

“I just love it, I love performing<br />

and being on stage in a costume,<br />

and winning medals,” she said.<br />

championships at Mt Maunganui.<br />

It was a tough competition for<br />

the year 11 students, who had to<br />

battle strong North Island teams<br />

and a king tide which washed the<br />

court away preventing play for<br />

about an hour on day one.<br />

and beat Bethlehem 2-1<br />

before losing in the semi-final to<br />

Mikaele Tuu’u said it was a fantastic<br />

result and is promising for<br />

the upcoming indoor volleyball<br />

season.<br />

“I think it will be one of the<br />

most competitive indoors season<br />

I have seen in a while,” he said.<br />

Burnside High’s Libby Collett<br />

and Talitha Bootsma placed<br />

second in the division two girls<br />

section with coach Sam Ryburn,<br />

known as ‘Mr Volleyball’ saying<br />

he believes there is some really<br />

good competition between the<br />

Christchurch schools now.<br />

“Looking ahead to the indoor<br />

season I think our [Burnside’s]<br />

time may have come. We have<br />

had good success in the past but<br />

the competition is looking very<br />

strong this year,” he said.<br />

Horomaka. Walks and wanderings. Thinking about conservation<br />

and the sheer love and hard work of the locals who protect<br />

and manage the land and its beautiful birds.<br />

Our taonga. This exhibition feels like just the<br />

beginning, there is so much left to say.”<br />

Wildside Project<br />

The Wildside Project is a large scale collaboration<br />

of landowners, Christchurch City Council,<br />

Department of Conservation, Environment<br />

Canterbury, and BPCT for the protection of a<br />

variety of endemic, threatened, and iconic species<br />

such as the endemic white-flippered little blue<br />

penguin, the only titi (sooty shearwater) colony<br />

in Canterbury, and yellow-eyed penguin at their<br />

northern breeding range. jewelled gecko, spotted<br />

skink, the Banks Peninsula tree weta and Akaroa daisy (both<br />

found only on the Wildside). The Wildside covers <strong>13</strong>,500ha and<br />

focuses on habitat protection, with 25% of the Wildside held in<br />

private or public reserve, and predator control, with over 700<br />

predator traps controlling feral cats, ferrets, stoats, weasels,<br />

and possums used in this extensive trapping programme.<br />

The Tui Project<br />

The Banks Peninsula Tui Restoration group translocated a<br />

total of 72 tui from Maud Island, Marlborough Sounds to<br />

Hinewai Reserve, Banks Peninsula in 2009 and 2010. This<br />

NatureWatchNZ project has been set up to capture the many<br />

observations of tui contributed by people all over Banks<br />

Peninsula and Christchurch since the first release. The vast<br />

majority of observations in the project are made by a small<br />

team of volunteers, who have spent thousands of hours<br />

observing, recording and managing this information over the<br />

last nine years.<br />

Hi from the team at<br />

McGirr Motors<br />

It is almost a year since McGirr Motors<br />

moved to their new premises in Gloucester<br />

Street.<br />

As we approach our first anniversary<br />

trading from our new workshop at 332<br />

Gloucester St, we look back at what has<br />

been an exciting year for us.<br />

Owner, Gary Lake wishes to thank family<br />

and friends who helped in getting us off to<br />

such a good start. Relocating was a huge<br />

undertaking and we could not have done it<br />

without you all.<br />

Gary and right-hand man Yutaka are still<br />

on board. They have also employed two<br />

new mechanics – Terry, who has 30-plus<br />

years’ experience, and Jacob, their thirdyear<br />

apprentice.<br />

“Thank you to our customers (old and<br />

new) for your continued support, which<br />

has helped grow our business in this new<br />

location,” Gary says.<br />

“Now in our 18th year, our qualified and<br />

experienced mechanics still strive to give<br />

the professional and friendly service which<br />

McGirr Motors is known for.”<br />

The services provided include:<br />

• WOF<br />

• Servicing and Mechanical Repairs<br />

• Diagnostics<br />

• Batteries<br />

• Brakes<br />

• Clutch<br />

• Tyres etc.<br />

“If you have any concerns about your<br />

vehicle, please don’t hesitate to call or drop<br />

in,” Gary says. “We would be delighted to<br />

take care of your car maintenance.”<br />

In this summer of record temperatures,<br />

Gary recommends a vehicle check to test<br />

your air-conditioning and cooling system.<br />

To make your appointment, phone<br />

03 379 6698 or email gary@mcgirrmotors.<br />

Reverse the signs of aging naturally with the<br />

newest LED Facial Device to New Zealand!<br />

As summer comes to a close, your skin,<br />

especially your face needs hydration and<br />

rejuvenation. Coming off the heat wave<br />

Christchurch has been experiencing, the<br />

elasticity in your skin will have shrivelled<br />

after being exposed to the drying, aging<br />

outdoor elements.<br />

Now there is a machine that is sweeping<br />

the globe and has landed in Christchurch.<br />

Experience the eleven beauty treatments<br />

accomplished within one facial mask. LED<br />

was invented by NASA as they were looking<br />

for a light source to be able to grow plants<br />

in space, from this they found that it had<br />

amazing skin cell rejuvenation & it wasn’t<br />

long before LED was used in hospitals<br />

around the world.<br />

People are experiencing the full facial<br />

rejuvenating experience with the LED light<br />

therapy with documented results in:<br />

Anti-Ageing – Wrinkles, Age spots,<br />

Scaring<br />

Anti-Acne – Antibacterial, Reduces<br />

inflammation<br />

Cell Rejuvenation - Eczema<br />

Reduce Redness – Rosacea, Sunburn<br />

Even Skin Tones – Hyper-Pigmentation<br />

Skin Booster – Collagen Rejuvenation<br />

Skin Soothing – Psoriasis<br />

Pain Blocker – Reduce swollen capillaries<br />

Charmaine McFarlane has established a<br />

new salon to accommodate her Aduro LED<br />

light therapy equipment for a business that<br />

runs parallel to her popular Sparklewhite<br />

teeth-whitening programme.<br />

Charmaine says the light therapy<br />

encourages new cells to regenerate.<br />

Depending on the particular skin condition<br />

the client wants to treat, he or she will don<br />

an Aduro LED face mask that emits light of<br />

a particular colour.<br />

“We cleanse, exfoliate, tone and apply a<br />

serum to the skin before putting the client<br />

under LED light,” Charmaine says.<br />

“The bonus is with this salon LED light<br />

therapy we can whiten your teeth at the<br />

same time as you are having your facial”,<br />

there is no other machine in the world that<br />

can do this!”<br />
