Burnside High

Classic concerto earns student recognition 

LIXIN ZHANG first heard 

Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 

1 in Eb Major, S.124 when he was 

11-years-old. 

Five years later it earned the 

year 13 Burnside High School 

student second place at the 

National Concerto Competition 

held at the St Margaret’s College 

Charles Luney Auditorium. 

Lixin won $3000 and he was 

also awarded an additional $150 

for claiming the people’s choice 

award. 

“I started practising the piece 

in about June last year. It’s been 

my focus since then,” he said. 

Lixin, 16, has been playing 

piano since he was 4-years-old. 

“I practice every day, 

depending on how busy I am 

with school work. It can be 

two or three hours if I have a 

lot of work, or three or four 

hours if I don’t have too much,” 

he said. 

But Lixin said coming second 

meant he still had areas to work 

on. 

“It was good placing but there are 

still places I can improve,” he said. 

Now Lixin said he will be focusing 

on perfecting his piece for 

upcoming auditions for universities 

in the United States later in 

the year.

Second 

primary 

school 

planned 

for Belfast 

• By Julia Evans 

ONE OF the fastest growing 

areas in the city will get a new 

school. 

The population of Belfast is 

expected to double from 7500 

to 15,000 by 2041, which has 

prompted investigations into 

establishing a second primary 

school by 2020. 

“Population projections 

indicate the need for additional 

schooling provision in the west 

Belfast area,” Ministry of Education 

deputy secretary sector 

enablement and support Katrina 

Casey said. 

Ms Casey said there are 

currently about 700 year 1 to 8 

pupils living in Belfast. But she 

said that number is expected to 

exceed 900 within 10 years, and 

is likely to approach 1200 in the 

long term. 

However, instead of consulting 

on a new school, Ms Casey said 

the ministry has approached the 

Belfast board of trustees with 

the idea of a two-campus model 

school. 

One campus would remain 

on Main North Rd and another 

would be established near Johns 

Rd, each catering for the junior 

and senior schools consecutively.

THE NEW motorway that goes from 

Belfast and loops past The Groynes on to 

the airport and soon to be beyond was 

built for a very good reason. 

On page 1 today, we show Belfast is one 

of the two fastest growing areas in Christchurch. 

The population will double in the next 20 years, and plans are 

looming for another primary school in the area. 

There’s no rocket science in that. With the numbers that are 

being predicted, it’ll be the start of a handful of new schools, I 

suspect. 

When the quakes hit in 2010 and 2011 and it was revealed the 

province has several major shallow fault lines, who would have 

imagined the city would grow with the speed it is.

Waimairi’s rates now in spotlight 

Community board deputy 

chairman and accountant 

Sam MacDonald has been 

crunching the numbers 

again and says Waimairi 

doesn’t get value for its 

rates contribution. Julia 

Evans reports 

THE WAIMAIRI Ward will put 

$80 million of rates into the city 

council’s coffers over the next 

three years. 

But with only $4 million coming 

back in capital project funding 

for the area, Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board deputy chairman and 

rates watchdog Sam MacDonald 

doesn’t think that’s a fair deal. 

Mr MacDonald, an accountant 

by trade, represents the Waimairi 

Ward, covering Wairakei 

Rd through to Yaldhurst Rd. 

“City council staff advise me 

that the proposed Long Term 

Plan funding allocates $4 million 

in capital projects to Waimairi 

over the next three years, 

compared to a rate take in our 

ward of $80 million over that 

same period. How is that fair?” 

Mr MacDonald previously 

told Nor’West News he questioned 

what the $100 million 

of rates Fendalton, Waimairi 

REPAIR: Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board 

deputy chairman Sam MacDonald doesn’t think residents in 

his ward are getting value for money from their rates. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

and Harewood residents paid in 

the last financial year had been 

spent on. 

He said now, he really can’t 

see how ratepayers are getting 

value for their money. 

“I have ratepayers calling or 

emailing me on a regular basis 

asking for roads to be fixed, 

drainage to be sorted and for 

parks to be maintained to an 

acceptable level,” he said. 

Mr MacDonald has been 

campaigning for the city council 

to “get the basics right” such as 

roading, water and rubbish collection, 

before spending excessive 

amounts on other projects. 

He said a lot of the main roads 

in the area are still in poor condition 

following the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, and are 

in need of “serious” structural 

repair. 

“It’s staggering to find that we 

are effectively paying for contentious 

and expensive projects 

like CBD cycleways, while at the 

same time facing in excess of 

five per cent annual rate rises.” 

Mr MacDonald is urging local 

residents to make submissions 

on the Long Term Plan so 

that city councillors hear the 

ongoing sense of frustration 

with its performance and 

continual rate rises. 

“I am encouraging ratepayers 

to make their voices heard in 

these upcoming submissions. 

This frivolous spending spree 

needs to stop – let’s prioritise 

getting the basics right first.”

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

ST ALBANS CRICKET FIELD 

Work on the St Albans Park cricket 

field is under way and the main 

line for the irrigation is being put 

in. Wet weather is causing small 

delays and the high water table 

is requiring extra gravel in the 

trenches to support the pipe. A 

sign to inform the public of future 

works has been installed on the 

temporary fencing around the old 

pavilion site. The site for the new 

pavilion has been excavated in 

preparation for the installation of 

its piles. 

WRONG SIGN TAKEN DOWN 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board raised the issue of a 

potential sign conflict at the corner 

of Westminster and Rutland Sts. 

City council staff investigated 

and found that a sign installed 

during construction had not been 

removed and as a result conflicted 

with the permanent “no right turn” 

signs. The temporary signage has 

now been removed. 

CORRECTION 

Last week Nor’West News reported

Tom Woelders, who won a rowing 

contest against Olympic gold

Simon Britten 

works for a 

Papanuibased 

youth and 

community 

development 

organisation, 

and is the founder and 

curator of the Think Papanui 

Facebook page. He writes 

about the importance of 

community engagement 

and what’s going on in 

Papanui at the moment 

WHEN I stood as a Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

candidate in the 2016 local 

body election I could see there 

was an opportunity for people 

to be more engaged with local 

government if they had better 

access to information about 

local issues and the activities of 

the city council and community 

boards. 

There is a lot of detail involved 

with their meetings and processes. 

Not everybody will read 

through the detail of board 

agendas and minutes, and it can 

be a challenge keeping track of 

proposals and opportunities 

to submit feedback to the city 

council. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board deputy chairwoman 

Emma Norrish shared some 

great information in the 

Nor’West News about what the 

board is doing and how the public 

can get involved. 

The team at the Nor’West News 

also deserve credit for excellent 

coverage of local issues. 

My own contribution is the 

Think Papanui Facebook page – 

an information source focused 

on the Papanui Ward (basically 

the suburbs of Papanui, Northcote, 

and Redwood). 

My aim is to share information 

on city council consultations, 

community board agenda items 

and decisions, local projects in 

action, and generally what’s 

happening in the community. 

All content is now also 

published on a website and in a 

weekly email newsletter. 

Right now there are two 

really important plans being 

consulted on. 

Firstly, consultation is open on 

Environment Canterbury’s Long 

Term Plan. 

Of particular significance to 

the Papanui area is the proposal 

to discontinue the 107 and 108 

bus routes. 

The consultation document 

also outlines ECan’s revenue and 

finance policy (remembering 

that we pay rates to ECan as well 

as to the city council), and plans 

including freshwater management 

and air quality. 

Feedback on public transport 

options and other aspects of 

the plan can be given until 26 

March. 

Secondly, on March 9 the 

city council published a consultation 

document on the city’s 

Long Term Plan. 

There may be a number of 

proposals in this that are relevant 

to the Papanui ward. 

Two that have been signalled 

already are changes to the cycleway 

programme (more spending 

and later completion), and 

as covered by the Nor’West News 

last week, potentially increased 

powers for community boards to 

act on intersection upgrades. 

For more information on the 

city’s Long Term Plan keep an 

eye on city council communication 

channels as well as Think 

Papanui (and, I’m sure, the 

Nor’West News).

Readers respond to 

the article regarding 

Environment Canterbury’s 

draft Long Term Plan 

proposal to cut two Papanui 

bus routes. 

Avi Lim – Bus cuts to 

Northwood will cause serious 

hardship to me. I do not drive and 

rely on the bus to get around – to 

the library, the doctor and to get 

groceries. I pay a lot of rates every 

quarter and I don’t see why I am 

being deprived of this essential 

service. Rates keep going up and 

services keep being cut down. 

This is terrible. 

Amanda Woodfield – Very 

disappointed to hear of the 

Northwood bus route ending. My 

daughter uses it to get home from 

school. If I can oppose it in any 

way let me know. 

Vicki Taege – The 107 should 

not go as it services the area for 

Willowbank. We live very close 

to the 108, that bus should go 

because whenever I see it go past 

in the morning, or at night, there 

are never any people using it.

cuts will affect me a lot. 

I am a single mother 

with two school-age boys, 

luckily, I have my mother’s 

help to drop the boys off 

at the bus stop and then 

pick them up from the bus 

after school, while I am 

working full-time. 

If the bus route is cut, the 

•From page 1 

Ms Casey said the 

board of trustees 

would be collecting 

feedback from the 

community on the 

two campus model, 

which it would 

then relay to the 

ministry. 

“The first phase of engagement 

will involve faceto-face 

workshops, and will 

gather and explore 

discussions on the 

possibilities of a 

second campus,” 

she said. 

The first workshop 

was held on 

Monday morning 

in the school hall. 

Another will be 

held tomorrow at 

7pm, as well as on Thursday. 

The workshops are 

open to the public. 

“The ideas and themes 

boys would have to walk 

1km to the nearest bus 

stop, and change two buses 

to get to school. It means 

a normal 10min bus trip 

would increase to more 

than a one-hour trip from 

home to school. They can 

get up early in the morning 

to do that, but if it takes 

more than one hour from 

generated through this first 

phase will then be used to 

construct an online survey 

that will make it possible to 

identify which ideas have 

a wider base of support,” 

Ms Casey said. 

The survey will be 

available in late March 

until early April. 

If the public did 

not support a second 

Belfast campus, the 

school to home, that will 

mean the boys will miss 

out on all of their afterschool 

activities. 

As a Styx Mill resident, I 

can tell not so many people 

are using the bus, but there 

are people who do need the 

service, and those people 

are normally children, or 

elderly, who don’t drive. 

Second school planned for Belfast 

Katrina 

Casey 

ministry would look 

to begin consultation 

on establishing a new 

primary school in the area, 

she said. 

But at this stage there was 

no timeline for development 

or construction 

of the new campus 

or school. 

In recent years 

the school had to 

build an additional 

11 classrooms and a 

new administration 

block to cater for its 

growing roll. 

Belfast is one of two areas 

in the city that have had 

“area plans” developed by 

the city council under the 

greater Christchurch urban 

development strategy. 

Over the last decade, 

Belfast has already seen 

significant growth, which 

the city council said has 

“put pressure” on existing 

infrastructure and services.

Reduce your power bill 

with LED lights 

Reducing electricity costs is important 

to homeowners, and one simple way to 

achieve that is with LED lights. As Bill 

Kells of Switched On Building Solutions 

points out, these are much cheaper to 

run than incandescent or halogen light 

bulbs. 

They also have the related benefit of 

reducing heating costs. 

“Incandescent and halogen light bulbs 

require air flow over them, so there is a 

gap in the ceiling allowing heat to escape 

to the roof cavity,” Bill explains. 

“The LED light, on the other 

hand, doesn’t require air flow and 

completely fills the gap, preventing 

heat from escaping.” 

As well, LED lights are dimmable, 

have a life span of 40,000 hours and a 

manufacturer’s warranty of five years, 

and the price for them has come down 

significantly over the last two to three 

years. 

Switched on Building Solutions 

currently has a special offer for replacing 

halogen lights with LED lights in existing 

homes. The first four lights will be 

supplied and fitted for the fixed price 

of $240 plus GST, with additional lights 

priced at $55 each plus GST.

40 homes by 2020 at Cranford basin 

• By Julia Evans 

AT LEAST 40 houses will be 

built in the Cranford basin by 

the end of 2020. 

In an update on the 

Cranford Regeneration Plan 

to the greater Christchurch 

partnership committee, 

the city council said it 

has begun the process of 

entering memorandums 

of understanding with 

developers. 

The memorandums are 

being sought in a bid to 

cement a timeframe for the 

development, in which 370 

homes will be built on 38ha 

around the rim of the basin. 

The rest of the land would 

be used for wetlands, cycle and 

walkways. 

“To date, a MOU has only 

been signed for the Case- 

Crozier block, which commits 

them to endeavour to deliver 

40 of the maximum houses by 

the end of 2020,” the report 

said. 

It said city council staff 

are continuing to work with 

Grassmere landowners to 

finalise the memorandum for 

that block, which would see 

further houses built, it said. 

A justification for the city 

council using the Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Act to reclassify the land

developers over the Cranford basin.

zoning around Crozier and 

Grassmere Sts was to speed up 

the process of developing the 

basin. 

The report also addresses 

concerns from Ngāi Tūāhuriri 

and Ngāi Tahu about the 

effects of stormwater drainage 

into Horseshoe Lake, which is 

culturally significant. 

Said the report: “This matter 

can only be dealt with as 

part of Ōtākaro Avon River 

Corridor Plan.” 

“The city council 

commitment is to work with 

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, 

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga 

and Regenerate Christchurch 

to develop options and test 

the feasibility of moving 

the current Dudley Creek 

diversion stormwater 

discharge from Horseshoe 

Lake.” 

The development is a city 

council plan to regenerate 

former farmland in Papanui 

between Winters and 

McFaddens Rds.

Councillors 

to duel in 

cycle race 

HAVING JUST finished the 

Kathmandu Coast to Coast, 

Mike Davidson is back on his 

bike and getting ready for his 

next challenge. 

The Papanui Ward city 

councillor will be taking on 

his colleague, city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone for a cycling 

duel during Le Race on March 

24. 

The two councillors have 

committed to a sporting 

“three-peat” for the year, 

taking on the Coast to Coast, 

Le Race and the Christchurch 

Marathon later in the year. 

“I have done Le Race 

before, but because of all this 

training, I am fitter than 

any previous year,” said Cr 

Davidson. 

“This year I hope to finish 

Le Race under four hours, but 

most importantly I want to 

smash Glenn.” 

Cr Livingstone is not too 

concerned. 

“I just hope that I don’t 

embarrass Mike,” said Cr 

Livingstone. 

Four weeks ago, both 

men completed the two-day 

individual event of the Coast to 

Coast. 

TREES, FLOWERS and shrubs 

were all on show for the 28th 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board garden pride awards. 

“There’s a such a lovely feeling 

around projects like this, people 

are clearly chuffed that their 

hard work is recognised and 

we all enjoy having a look at 

other people’s gardens especially 

when they look so wonderful,” 

chairwoman Ali Jones said. 

Ms Jones said board 

members love engaging with 

the community, in conjunction 

with organisations such as 

the Christchurch Beautifying 

Association, which judged the 

awards. 

This will be the last annual 

garden pride awards, Ms Jones 

said due to funding constraints, 

the awards will now be held once 

every two years. 

The evening was hosted by Ms 

Jones and deputy chairwoman 

Emma Norrish. Awards were 

handed out by city councillors 

Mike Davidson and Pauline 

Cotter, board members John 

Stringer and Jo Byrne. 

As well as Christchurch 

Beautifying Association president 

Ron Andrew, secretary Lesley 

Taylor and members Peter 

Lawrence, Lyn Smith, Margaret

RYMAN HEALTHCARE 

It’s got to be good 

enough for mum 

The Ryman Healthcare story began back 

in 1984 when company co-founder Kevin 

Hickman visited a resthome and didn’t like 

what he saw. There were shared bathrooms 

and little in the way of privacy or dignity for 

residents. 

Deciding he would want something better 

for his mum, he teamed up with John Ryder 

to start a company with a very simple aim 

– the way Ryman Healthcare looked after 

people had to be “good enough for mum”. 

For more than 30 years Ryman’s villages 

have evolved to include resort-style amenities 

such as indoor swimming pools, bowling 

greens and hair and beauty salons. 

The way Ryman care for people and the 

systems they use are constantly refined but 

their core aim remains the same – everything 

they do must be ‘good enough for mum… or 

dad’. 

Village aim to delight residents 

That core aim is certainly reflected at the 

Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village in Papanui. 

“It’s part of our culture, and deeply 

embedded in our philosophy,” village 

manager Anna Thomson says, noting that 

Ngaio Marsh recently received its four-year 

audit certification. 

“That’s a significant achievement,” Anna 

says, “and it’s something we’re really proud 

of. Our aim is to delight our residents and 

deliver a very high quality of care, and our 

staff receive a lot of positive feedback for that.” 

Ngaio Marsh offers independent living, 

assisted living and two levels of care, which 

residents can receive as their needs change. 

From independent townhouse living, and 

assisted living in a serviced apartment, to rest 

home and hospital care. 

“It’s a seamless transition,” Anna says. 

“As our residents’ needs change they get 

the care they need, while still retaining 

their friendships with other residents and 

relationships with the staff they know.” 

High resident to staff ratios – 1:10 for 

resthome care and 1:5 for hospital care, 

ensure residents get the best-possible care at 

all times. 

The unit co-ordinator for the rest home 

and hospital, Vicky Boswell, is one of those 

responsible for ensuring the quality of care is 

continually maintained throughout her team. 

Vicky has been with Ngaio Marsh for 

two years and loves her job. She started her 

working life in aged care, went from there to a 

hospital environment, then to a hospice, and 

is now back in aged care with Ryman. 

“It feels like I’ve come home,” she says. 

“Everyone has been so supportive in helping 

me update my skills. The whole process is set 

up to help staff achieve their goals.” 

Vicky finds the myRyman care app 

particularly beneficial, as it has the care

programme of all her resthome and hospital 

residents electronically stored. This enables 

caregivers, registered nurses and other staff to 

have immediate access to it through the tablet 

in their rooms and allows staff to spend more 

time with the residents, which they love Vicky 

says. 

“It also makes families feel more secure.” 

The myRyman care app is a leading-edge 

computer programme that was specifically 

developed by Ryman for Ryman retirement 

villages. 

The support the Ngaio Marsh team receives 

from other Ryman villages also plays an 

important part in the care of residents, Vicky 

says. 

“We have regular conferences and meetings 

with management, registered nurses and staff 

members from other Ryman villages and we 

share information and helpful ideas with each 

other. We are constantly looking at what we 

can do better.” The village also offers free wifi 

and a free clothing labelling service. 

Vicky is also a strong advocate of teamwork 

among her own staff and says she promotes 

that “all the time”. 

“We’re a family, and we share the workload 

if someone needs help. We’re all here to help 

each other, and that goes through the whole 

team, including activities co-ordinators, 

laundry staff, office staff – everyone.” 

One of the key factors that make life so 

enjoyable for Ngaio Marsh residents is the 

delicious meals, and a new set of menus has 

just been introduced. They include three 

options for lunch every day – including one 

vegetarian. 

“The majority of our residents eat better 

here than when they were at home,” Anna 

says. “We have a wonderful kitchen team who 

take pride in what they produce. The quality 

and presentation is very high.” 

Vicky adds that the residents enjoy the 

process of going through the menu each week 

and choosing what they will have. 

“It’s just like being in a restaurant.” 

With safety another crucial factor for 

residents and staff, six months ago Ngaio 

Marsh had a generator installed, ensuring 

continuity of electricity supply. 

“That’s one of the Ryman points of 

difference,” Anna says, “having things in place 

in case something happens. It gives residents 

and families peace of mind, and we’ve had 

good feedback about it.” 

Resthome resident, Valma Bishop, moved 

into Ngaio Marsh last September with her 

husband Colin, who needed hospital care. 

Sadly, Colin passed away shortly after, and 

Valma, already a shy person, became very 

anxious and withdrawn. 

Now, just six months later, she is thriving 

and happy, Anna says. 

The couple had previously visited Ngaio 

Marsh on an open day, and Valma liked it 

immediately, although Colin wasn’t keen 

to move from their home. As it turned out, 

a hospital room was available for him when 

he became ill, and Valma was able to move in 

with him. 

Now she has a lovely room overlooking the 

rose garden, and is enjoying retirement village 

life. 

“It’s amazing how many friends you make,” 

she says. 

As well as making new friends, Valma has 

also reconnected with friends from many 

years ago, who also live at Ngaio Marsh. 

One of her nine grandchildren, Lisa 

McNicholl, says there has been a “total 

transformation in grandma”. 

“With the help of the staff, and the 

environment, this has given her confidence 

and she enjoys being here. The staff have been 

amazing. Having to come here has been a 

blessing in disguise.” 

Retirement living and care 

at its best!

Sore Feet? 

Last month I stood with our 

Canterbury MPs to commemorate 

the seventh anniversary of the 22 

February Canterbury earthquakes 

at the public memorial service in 

Christchurch. 

When the national memorial was 

unveiled last year, Rt Hon Bill English 

described it as a place to grieve 

and a place to hope. Today, we 

see a transformed Christchurch, 

Waimakariri and Selwyn as a result of 

our investment in the regeneration 

of our region and evidence of our 

commitment to the people of 

Canterbury. 

We stood with the people of 

Canterbury seven years ago and we 

stand with the people of Canterbury

Schools count down to Maadi Cup 

Six days out from the biggest school rowing event of 

the year, Andrew King looks at how some of the crews 

might fare at Maadi Cup which starts on Monday at Lake 

Ruataniwha, Twizel 

LAST YEAR St Andrew’s College 

took the Maadi Cup back to 

Papanui Rd for the first time 

in their history, beating out 

favourites Christ’s College and 

Christchurch Boys’ High in the 

under-18 eights. 

Their efforts were honoured 

at the Nexia New Zealand 

Canterbury Sports Awards on 

Friday where they were named 

outstanding junior 

team of the year. 

Riley Gain, who 

is in charge of 

rowing at St Andrew’s, 

said none 

of the winning 

eight from last year are returning 

for next week’s Maadi Cup, 

which has made for an exciting 

time of rebuilding. 

“The mood in the camp is one 

of excitement and the rowers are 

very much looking forward to 

heading to the event,” he said. 

Maadi Cup starts on Monday 

and runs through the week at 

Lake Ruataniwha, Twizel. 

Earlier this month, CBHS had 

a strong showing at the South 

Island secondary school champs, 

also on Lake Ruataniwha, with 

10 gold medals, including victory 

in the Fred Strachan Cup in the 

SPORTS 

under-18 eights in a time of 6min 

1.54sec. They also won The Bell 

for the top school overall, followed 

by Rangi Ruru. 

CBHS rowing head coach 

Logan Keys said the goal is to do 

well across all of the age groups 

and build a sustainable programme 

in which the under-18 

events are always the main target. 

“We will be putting some hard 

yards in to 

ensure we peak 

for the main 

event,” he said. 

They will 

face stiff competition 

from 

North Island school crews, particularly 

Hamilton Boys’ High, 

which won the under-18 eights 

at the North Island secondary 

school championships on Lake 

Karapiro, Cambridge, this month 

in a time of 5min 56.68sec, beating 

CBHS’s time by almost 5sec. 

When asked who we should 

watch out for at CBHS, Keys said 

he would rather not put any extra 

pressure on his team members by 

singling them out. 

Rangi Ruru also had a strong 

showing with six gold medals at 

the South Island champs. They 

defended the Kate Strachan 

TOP PRIZE: The St Andrew’s College eights claimed the Maadi Cup last year for the first time 

and won outstanding junior team of the year at the Canterbury Sports Awards. A new team will 

look to defend the cup next week.

Memorial Cup in the under-18 

eights race. 

Director of rowing Mark 

Cotham said the girls are in very 

good spirits after a great regatta 

earlier this month. 

“They understand that the 

training intensity will increase 

. . . they have a love/hate relationship 

with training at the moment,” 

he said. 

St Margaret’s head of sports 

Helen Belcher said while their 

crews had not been finalised yet, 

it will have some returning from 

the eight which took silver at last 

year’s Maadi Cup. 

“We expect the North Island 

crews to come out strongly so 

will be very wary of them across 

all grades,” she said.

Beautiful jewellery 

in unique designs 

Bella Silver in Merivale Mall has been 

supplying beautiful jewellery for delighted 

customers from Christchurch and further 

afield since 1996. 

Owner Alfredo Escaip travels around the 

world to personally select exquisite pieces 

for his store, as well as creating custommade 

engagement rings and wedding 

bands in his Christchurch workshop. 

The range includes precious and semiprecious 

stones, the majority of which are 

totally natural, set in sterling silver and 

gold. Necklaces, bracelets, pendants, rings 

are all on display – so many stunning and 

unique designs to choose from for gifts or 

for a special treat for yourself. 

Bella Silver also offers jewellery repairs, 

a professional watch repair service, and 

watch battery fitting. 

Originally a mechanical engineer in 

his home country, Mexico, Alfredo made 

jewellery as a hobby. Then, after moving to 

New Zealand in 1995, he decided to turn 

jewellery-making into a full-time career. 

As he says, “It’s much more artistic and 

creative than engineering.” 

Bella Silver is open seven days a week, 

so next time you are shopping in Merivale 

Mall, stop by and take a look at the 

amazing selection. And check out their 

website and Facebook page for news and 

new arrivals. For further information,

Deadline Sale: 5pm Friday 23 March 2108 

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | open plan kitchen, dining living area | 1 study/play area | 2 carport | 2 off-street parks | Listing ID: 6237 

What began life as a 1950s bungalow was 

transformed in the 1970s when architecture 

in Christchurch was breaking from the 

constraints and traditions of the past to 

create what is now a truly unique home. 

What we have today is an avant-garde 

home nestled into the sunny slopes above 

Redcliffs. Not only does it bask in sunshine 

it enjoys uninterrupted views across the 

estuary and up the coastline. The magic of 

the setting reflects the magic to be found 

indoors. On 3 levels it provides space for 

everyone and everything. The main central 

floor comprises the entry from the carport 

at the front door, open plan kitchen dining 

and living, a study/play area, 2 double 

bed-rooms which open to a spacious deck 

area and a state of the art bathroom. Stairs 

descend to a rumpus room/studio which 

opens to a paved patio area giving access to 

a landscaped contemporary hillside garden. 

The upper level provides the main suite 

comprising bedroom, en suite and dressing 

room and expansive open living space with 

floor to ceiling windows. This home exudes 

contemporary style with an industrial 

minimalist theme. 

Open homes Sundays 1.45pm-2.30pm
