SWEET SOUNDS: St Andrew’s College year 12 students Lewis Edmond and Jenna Wells performing at the 41st National Youth
Jazz Competition.
Bittersweet win for St Andrew’s big band
• By Sophie Cornish
THE ST Andrew’s College big
band had extra incentive to
win at the National Youth Jazz
Competition – bass player, Tom
Fastier, collapsed and died the
day before the competition
began.
“Tom was a bass player from
Cashmere High School who was
playing with our big band this
year. He had a strong chance of
winning best bass player at the
festival as he was a very accomplished
musician,” head of music
Duncan Ferguson said.
“We were delighted to win, but
it was bittersweet,” he said.
St Andrew’s won the most
outstanding big band title at the
competition in Tauranga.
The band dedicated its set to
Tom, who died while on his way
to Cashmere High on March 27.
His death was possibly related to
a medical event.

Board
launches
petition
to get new
community
facility
• By Sophie Cornish and Julia Evans
THE PAPANUI-Innes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to fight the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being collected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
planned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hills Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 22,
2011, earthquake.
The removal of funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jones said the board’s role
is to represent the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfilling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and annual
plans are all about lobbying the
council.”

TOP MARKS to the St Andrew’s College
big band for coping with the massive
emotional hurdle they had to deal with at the
recent National Youth Jazz Competition
(see page 1).
Band member Tom Fastier died tragically the day before the
festival. Not only did the band play but they won the big band title
– and that is an exceptional achievement given the circumstances.
As the college’s head of music Duncan Ferguson said: “We were
delighted to win, but it was bittersweet.”
St Andrew’s also stood out from an individual point of view.
Serge Beaton won the Rodger Fox Trophy for the most outstanding
trombonist and Angus Rainey won the Edwina Thorne Trophy
for the most outstanding trumpet or flugel.
Well done.

Plans reveal indoor learner’s pool
• By Sophie Cornish and
Julia Evans
THE NEW Edgeware Pool
will not look anything like it’s
predecessor, new plans have
revealed.
Just-released designs for the
$4.5 million-$5 million project
show the complex will include
an indoor learner’s pool, which
will be a major source of income
for the facility.
Initially the
facility was set
to have two
heated outdoor
pools – but the
learner pool will
move indoors,
Pauline
Cotter
while the 25m
pool will remain
outside. The
new designs also include a small
gym, car park and outdoor area.
The St Albans Pool and Pavilion
group commissioned the
plans from Apollo Design, the
designers of QE II Park.
Group spokesman Stephen
Anderson said it is pleased with
the plans and pricing.
He said the indoor pool would
add a revenue stream, as well as
“mitigate any concerns” neighbours
had with noise.
The complex will have no
operating cost for the ratepayer
as it is an entirely community

“To cover the indoor pool
means they can get revenue all

Cr Cotter said the model being
used in Edgeware should be used
in communities across the city.
The group gained resource
consent to build a complex on
the Edgeware Rd site after a
hearing last March. In 2016 the
city council sold the group the

Cartwright steps down as chairman
MacDonald
wants to
lead board
• By Julia Evans
FENDALTON-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
chairman David Cartwright has
stayed true to his word.
Mr Cartwright tabled his
resignation as chairman at last
Monday’s board
meeting.
He said it was
always his plan
to step down 18
months into the
role.
Sam
MacDonald
“That was
always the intent
from day one, that
I would do half a
term,” he said.
Mr Cartwright said he was
stepping aside to let other
board members take on more
responsibility.
“It’s about building expertise
and giving people a chance . . .
there are very capable people on
the board.”
Mr Cartwright disclosed he
recently “had a birthday with a
zero in it” and had received some
fly fishing gear.
RETIRING: David Cartwright (left) will step down as Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community
Board chairman on Monday. He recently awarded Peter Lawrence first place in the board’s
garden awards.

“So maybe there will be a bit
more time for fly fishing but I’ll
still be working hard in my role
as Fendalton representative,” he
said.
The board will vote in a
new chairperson at its next
meeting on Monday. Until then,
Mr Cartwright will remain
chairman.

the support to be chair, I will be
nominating David as my deputy
as we make an excellent team,”
Mr MacDonald said.
Mr Cartwright was first
elected to the board in 2010.
He served as deputy under
chairwoman Val Carter during
his second term from 2013
until being elected chairman in
2016.
During a city council meeting
on Thursday, Mr Cartwright
was thanked by Mayor Lianne

Weed could
jeopardise
fishing event
THE ANNUAL Take A Kid
fishing day at The Groynes could
be in jeopardy if the lakes it uses
are not cleaned up.
Organiser Kids Fishing
Charitable Trust approached the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board with concerns
the huge amount of weed was
enough to cancel this year’s event.
Board member Aaron Campbell
said: “We need to get this fixed . . .
it’s a real possibility it may not go
ahead.”
City council staff are investigating
options for cleaning up the
weed, said head of parks Brent
Smith.
Approaching Canterbury University’s
Student Volunteer Army
about the possibility of a joint
project is one option.
Mr Campbell said the trust had
organised a working party and
spent more than 30 hours trying
to clear the lake with manpower.
But it was going to take more than
that.
“The option of having one of
the weed remover barges from the
Avon, Heathcote or out at the Styx
was discussed,” he said.
Mr Campbell said weed was an
issue in lakes and rivers city-wide
due to the hot, wet summer.

Rotary raises $130k for groups in need
ROTARY PAPANUI has had
a busy start to the year, raising
more than $130,000 for local

The group has had several
campaigns in the works, which
the community is reaping the
benefits of.
Every year the group organises
the gift wrapping stations at
Northlands Shopping Centre.
Rotarians used their organisational
skills to help 10 local youth
groups raise money.
The 10 groups raised about
$1500-1700 each, which will go
towards youth camps, pre-school
play equipment, special needs
equipment, secondary school
trips, sports and cultural events.
The group also partnered with
Mega Mitre 10 on Harewood Rd,
which supplied a trailer filled
with more than $8000 in prizes
for a raffle fundraiser.
The $27,000 raised was divided
between St John, The Canterbury
Charity Hospital and The Papanui

The money has sent St John
paramedics on training courses,
helped children with school

John Emery’s latest exhibition at Little River Gallery
Although born and raised in the American Midwest,
John Emery has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling
back and forth between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass,
New Zealand, where he established a second home and
studio in 2000.
“It is not just the object, but also its history--its
veritable shadow-- that I set out to record in my work.
It is the fragmented story that haunts me. Memories,
symbolism, physical similarities, all play a part in creating
the “fabrication”. Objects are often from a bygone era, or
worn with repeated use,
reflecting time’s passage.
At times they are literally
in pieces: the shattered
porcelain, the cast-off
sardine tin, a bird feather,
or watching the flight of a
fantail. In reclaiming them
for my own tromp l’oiel
still life constructions, I
conjure them into a new
world. Like life itself,
each work resonates with
both the story and history
associated with some
objects, and the imagined
The Invincibles
Killer Look
potential of others.
My painting process typically begins with a solitary
object, a toy bear, or a Victorian hunting dress. A visual
narrative is then constructed in the same way that I
fabricated stories about the neglected objects found in
my grandparents’ long forgotten trunks. As with all my
works, some elements become three-dimensional as I
form them from paper, the most versatile material I know”
John Emery.
Time flies over us, but
leaves its shadow behind.

Retaining top spot aim of chorus
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A TOP a cappella American
coach is helping some of the
city’s best barbershop singers
win a national competition for
the 11th time.
Lea Beverley will be working
with the Christchurch City
Chorus over the next month to
help it win the Sweet Adelines
New Zealand
regional contest
in May at
Wellington.
Already the
chorus is one
of Australasia’s
highest
achieving
Lea Beverley
women’s a cappella choruses
having won the national competition
10 times in a row.
Beverley arrived in the city
last weekend and is touring the
country to teach other a cappella
singers.
“I love New Zealand . . . the
people are amazing, the country
is beautiful and the singers
throughout the country are so
devoted to getting better,” Beverley
said.
She said she will be mostly
working on helping the chorus
to sing “with a lot of emotion.”
“I work on the technical elements
like singing the vowels
properly . . . consonants and
singing all the words together,”
she said.
As part of its preparations
for the competition, the chorus
will present concert A Cappella
Champions On Show at St Margaret’s
College later this month
to preview its competition package.
The show will be hosted by
Beverley.
The chorus performed the
show to finish fifth in the 2016
Sweet Adelines International
Chorus Competition in Las
Vegas.
“We want to be first one day
but we are slowly creeping
up,” musical director Virginia
Humphrey-Taylor said.
She said the chorus got Beverley
to help train the new people
joining.
“New people are always joining
the group . . . we want to
make sure everybody is trained.
We always have new music we
have to sing at a high level,” she
said.
The chorus is hoping to win in
Wellington so it can take part in
the international competition in
New Orleans next year.
Humphrey-Taylor said the
chorus will be taking on more
“show music” this year performing
songs including Elton John’s
Can You Feel the Love Tonight
and Vera Lynn’s A Nightingale

She is classically trained as a
pianist, but joined Sweet Adelines
22 years ago.
Three of the choruses she runs
have won nine regional competitions

•From page 1
Mr Ferguson said schools
sometimes share musicians
to play instruments that they are
lacking.
“For the first
time in the
festival’s history,
organisers and
judges allowed
the band director/teacher

Tom Fastier
play in place of
Tom on the bass,” he said.
St Andrew’s also won a combo
silver award and a big band gold
award.
Serge Beaton won the Rodger

trombonist and Angus
Rainey won the Edwina Thorne

Fire rages, homes at risk
Cherry Cornelius – Once
again they are not freedom
campers, they do not have
facilities in their cars such
as a toilet, shower or enough
water for their needs. They will
be there so they can use the
running water which is in every
cemetery for hand washing.
They will be doing the washing
– dishes, body and clothing.
I’m willing to bet most will be
urinating behind the fence. We
freedom camp, the difference
is we have complete self
containment.
They are free-loaders and free
litterers. Please don’t ever put
us in the same category as these
people that are free-loading
their way around our country.
We have paid huge amounts of
money to be self contained and
respect and love our travelling.
Andrea Lamont – I see
this as a golden opportunity for
scaring the living daylights out
of them. Horror movie theme.
Oh such fun.
Davena Shields – If they’re
only there overnight and not
causing trouble or defecating
everywhere, then I can’t see the
problem. Sorry, but some people
need to get over themselves.
There are families out there who
have real struggles of their own
everyday.
Helen Leggatt – To those
who say they’re doing no harm,
I suspect you’d think very
differently if they were parking
outside your driveway, leaving
stained toilet paper, remnants
of cooking/food, and rubbish at
your fence line.
It’s not the location, per
se (although I think using
cemeteries is somewhat
disrespectful, not to those in it,
but those who visit loved ones)
but what they leave behind. The
rubbish down the Waimakariri
Gorge from freedom campers
can sometimes be gross.
COMPLAINTS: Freedom campers are drawing criticism from residents for parking outside the Waimairi Cemetery in Burnside.
Kerry
Beardsley
– They are
using the
cemetery and
church steps
to cook food
etc and some
can be quite
intimidating
while
walking
past. It also
seems to be
a meeting
point where they have larger
gatherings.
Pauline Handley – I wonder
when and if the council will do
a survey to see how many at any
given time are actually travelling
freedom campers and which are
people living in vans etc because
of the high rental prices in
Christchurch?
Ben O’Connor
– I hate freedom
campers, they have no
respect for anything
or anyone and they
are so selfish like it’s
there right to do what
they want where they
want.
Cath Milio – We
don’t know if there
are issues.
I would hope they have basic
respect for a cemetery and do
not use the grounds for toileting,
eating etc.
Parking up outside a cemetery
is hardly a crime.
Johnny Alderdice – Some
people must just look for reasons
to get offended.
Stephen Graham – No class
at all these particular freedom
campers.
Stephanie Hagerty – Are
there public toilets there or do
they use the cemetery?
Daisy Graham – If motels
and camping grounds were
more affordable, maybe freedom
campers would not be a
problem.
Graeme Palmer – At
least they are not parked in the
cemetery.
John Baxendine – Need to
make places for them all over
the country.
Kim Button – Yes, I saw
them there recently – I find it a
bit strange.
Sarah Spencer Smith – I
heard that freedom campers
were parking inside the
cemetery.
James David Foote –
Get over yourselves. Do the
cemetery’s residents seem
upset?
Dean Comyns – Rubbish
everywhere last time I went past,
and the same van in the same
spot as the picture, annoying.
Wendy Woo – Get over
yourselves, you’re lucky you have
a home.

Former Shirley skipper
to lead NZ under-20
side at Oceania champs
LEADER: Tom Christie in action during his time at Shirley Boys’
High School. (Right) – Christie was a part of the under-20 NZ
squad which won the world championship in Georgia last year.
• By Gordon FIndlater
FORMER SHIRLEY Boys’ High
School first XV captain Tom
Christie has vowed to lead from
the front at the Oceania rugby
under-20 championship on the
Gold Coast.
The promising loose forward
and Christchurch club man will
captain New Zealand at the Gold
Coast tournament.
“To be given a leadership role is
an honour,” said Christie.
“I pride myself on leadership
qualities.
“It’s something that helps
you perform I find. For me, my
performance is my No 1 goal,
but being given a leadership role
emphasises the need to perform
for me.”
The squad will assemble in
Auckland on April 21 before
departing for the Gold Coast.
Canterbury players Ngane
Punivai, Will Tucker and former
Christchurch Boys’ High School
outside back Will Jordan are also
part of the squad.
New Zealand will play Tonga,
Fiji and Australia. The team will
be looking to claim their fifth
title in as many years.
Members of the squad will be
pushing their case for selection
in the world championship next
month in France.
Christie has Mitre 10 Cup
experience with Canterbury and

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

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
FROM THE BOARD
History shows the heart of our school
remains strong and true through
change. Marian College was established
in 1982 with the bringing together
of two Catholic secondary schools
for girls– McKillop College and St
Mary’s College – the latter being one
of the oldest schools in Canterbury,
established in 1893.
The gospel values that Marian College
was built on continue through to today,
along with the guidance and steady
support of the Catholic Diocese of
Christchurch.
The appointment of our new Bishop and
his intention to make Marian College a
priority – signals the next new phase for
our school.
Our community is rich in experience,
knowledge, faith and diversity and
we value every contribution. The
Marian College Board extends an open
invitation to everyone who is part of
Marian College’s history - and future -
to connect with us. This includes past
and present students, immediate and
extended family, and next generations -
the young women who will lead us into
the future.
There will be opportunities to be
involved, and to have a say on what our
new school will look like.
By clicking the ‘following’ tab on the
Marian College Facebook page you
can select ‘see first’ in your newsfeed,
to ensure you receive the latest Marian
College news first.
Join us on our journey.

MODEL UN
Unlike any other high school event,
the Canterbury Model UN 2018 brings
together 200 students for two days of
debate and discussion on issues affecting
society today.
Seven Year 13 Marian College students
participated recently – pictured from back
left: Katie Ryan, Jodie Worthington, Kitty
Aloysius, Izzy Bloxham (Head Girl),
Louise Daly, Rose Heslop-Brown (front)
and Bernie Simpson.
Jodie said she found the experience
extremely valuable. “Each of us was
assigned a country and spent two days
debating global issues, problem solving,
meeting 200 other students and having
heaps of fun,” Jodie said.

PASIFIKA
CELEBRATED
Marian College supported its largest
ever performing Pasifika Group
at the sPacPac Polyfest 2018
Festival held in Burwood recently.
The Marian College Pasifika Group
also had the most students from
any one school on stage – 43
students performed – and had
the honour of closing the annual
festival.
The students performed traditional
Samoan items with their own twist
of Marian Magic. Many hours of
practice led to stunning
performances at Polyfest, the
Marian College Fia Fia night and
school assembly.

fantastic result. Team 2 – Kaylee

IN THE COMMUNITY
Marian College has a long standing mission
to encourage young women to fulfil their
potential and contribute to the common
good of society.
Lions Clubs also place value on service
and have a long history of contributing to
communities all over the world.
Recently Deputy Head student Rachael
Nilsson was one of several young people
invited to speak at the Lions District 202E
convention, on young people’s views of
community service and how traditional
Lions Clubs can involve more young
people.
The Marian College choir also had the
honour of singing at the convention’s
rededication and remembrance service.

KIDSTUFF
The history of
Papanui’s
Superb quality and
variety at Kidstuff
Langdons Rd
Papanui Heritage Group chairman
Murray Williams writes about the
history of Thomas Langdon of
Langdons Rd
THOMAS LANGDON was born in
Somerset in 1831 and gained experience
working on his father’s farm before
emigrating to Canterbury in 1858.
He and his wife Georgiana Langdon
arrived at Lyttelton on September 21 on
the Zealandia after a 98-day voyage from
Gravesend.
The Langdons had occupied a cabin, an
indication that they were wealthy enough
to avoid the lack of privacy of those with
more limited means who had to endure
the cramped and dingy steerage area
below decks.
Mr Langdon gradually assembled
significant holdings in Papanui.
He purchased and leased land from the
original rural sections, three, five and
323.
The former two areas had contained
most of the Papanui Bush which had been
cut out by 1857.
Mr Langdon obviously saw the value
of the land as a farming proposition and
it appears he ran cattle, an interest that
he retained later in his life when he was
notable as a judge of sheep and cattle at A
and P shows.
By 1859, he had established a butchery
in Vagues Rd, a business later relocated
to the much larger Christchurch market,
an interesting indicator of the growing
interdependence between the city and its
satellite. The Colombo St butcher’s shop
was run as a partnership and was still
operating as Langdon and Steel at the
beginning of the 20th century.
Mr and Mrs Langdon had eight
children, an important contribution to
the local economy. The family home
was probably the first on the road that
ran north-west from the north road and
parallel with Harewood Rd and owed its
name to its first occupants.
In 1887, there were only six houses in
IN MEMORIAM: This headstone in the
St Paul’s Anglican Church Cemetery
on Harewood Rd commemorates
the lives of Thomas and Georgiana
Langdon.
this rural road which provided access to
farms and orchards.
By 1951, lots in Langdons Rd were
numbered from 8-129, but the street
petered out before reaching Bishops Rd
(now Greers Rd).
Mr Langdon died in 1904 (his wife
had pre-deceased him by two years) but
his name still prevails in the name of the
street which, in 1955, was extended to
link up to Greers Rd, a move designed to
give access to the new state housing area
developed in north Papanui in the mid-
1950s.
However, Mr Langdon’s name had not
been retained without a battle. In 1926,
the council attempted to rename the road
Lambeth St but local protest ensured
that the commemoration of its first
householder remains to this day.

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
NOR’WEST NEWS
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham
sees clients with a range of symptoms but
many of their middle-aged and senior
clients visit complaining of pain in one or
both hips.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a
back muscle could also be the cause, as
shown in the image.
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
Hip muscle that causes hip pain
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
and wellbeing.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the hip, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the hip in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated than
surgery. In very few treatments the client
