Unsafe speed limit may change 

• By Julia Evans 

PART OF busy Main North 

Rd could have its speed limit 

dropped to deal with conflicting 

and unsafe speeds. 

A city council investigation 

in February found the section 

of Main North Rd between QE 

II Drive and Cranford St does 

not comply with New Zealand 

Transport Agency safety standard 

guidelines. 

“The safe and appropriate 

speed under the new NZTA 

speed management framework 

for this section of Main North 

Rd is 50km/h,” city council head 

of transport Richard Osborne 

said. The investigation was 

prompted after NZTA told the 

city council the speed limits at 

the intersection of Main North 

Rd, Northcote Rd and QE II 

Drive were conflicting. 

“The speed limit of the Main 

North Rd, Northcote Rd and 

QE II Drive intersection is not 

clear. The speed limit of Northcote 

Rd and a short section of 

QE II Drive is 50km/h, but Main 

North Rd has a 60km/h speed 

limit,” Mr Osborne said. 

He said this has made it 

difficult to signpost the speed 

limit correctly. The city council 

is proposing to move the 50km/h 

to 60km/h change point on Main 

North Rd from south of Cranford 

St to north of QE II Drive, 

near St Bede’s College. 

That would mean it would 

comply with the safe and appropriate 

speed management, Mr 

Osborne said. “It also means that 

the Main North Rd, QE II Drive, 

Northcote Rd intersection will 

have the same 50km/h 

speed limit on all approaches,” 

he said. 

A city council report said a 

reduced speed limit is “more 

appropriate” given the heavy 

volume of traffic and the built up 

nature of the environment with 

residential homes, businesses, 

and a school frontage outside 

St Bede’s. Mr Osborne said the 

intersection is part of the NZTA’s 

State Highway 74. 

“This issue is unrelated to the 

Northern Corridor,” he said. 

•The public can submit on 

the proposal at ccc.govt.nz/ 

the-council/consultations-andsubmissions/haveyoursay/ 

show/145 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think 

the limit on Main North Rd 

should be dropped to 50km/h 

north of QE II Drive? Do you find 

UNCLEAR: Part of Main 

North Rd could have 

its speed limit dropped 

to 50km/h at the 

intersection of 

QE II Drive and 

Northcote Rd (below) 

to meet NZTA safety 

standards after it was 

found the intersection’s 

speed limit was unclear.

CONSULTATION IS about to start which 

could see the 60km/h speed limit on part 

of Main North Rd fall into line with New 

Zealand Transport Agency safety standard 

guidelines (see page 1). 

That will mean 50km/h between QE II 

Drive and Cranford St. 

That’s not a bad idea. There are schools in the area and the 

stretch of Main North Rd from Cranford to Papanui Rd is 

50km/h. 

Accolades for two promising tennis players (see page 13). 

Abby Mason, who plays for St Margaret’s and Elmwood, and 

Diego Quispe-Kim (Cobham and Irwell) had success at the 

recent Tennis Canterbury awards. 

Diego says he models his forehand and serve off Rafa Nadal. 

Not a bad standard to aim for.

More delays for Aurora Centre 


UNFORESEEN fire compliance 

issues have again delayed 

the Aurora Performing Arts 

Centre’s reopening. 

Earthquake repairs, 

refurbishment and upgrades 

have been ongoing since 

January and were expected to 

be completed by February to 

minimise impact on Burnside 

High School students. 

The reopening was delayed 

until March, 

but it has now 

been revealed 

the centre 

won’t open 

until May. 

“Due to the 

complexity of 

this work, plus 

unforeseen 

compliance Phil Holstein 

issues with new 

fire regulations, the Aurora 

Centre will not be available for 

school use until the beginning 

of term two,” principal Phil 

Holstein said in a report. 

He said work on the exterior 

of the building would continue 

until November. 

The performing arts centre, 

on the site of Burnside High 

School, has been undergoing 

weather tightness and 

earthquake damage repairs. 

UPGRADE: The reopening of the Aurora Performing Arts Centre at Burnside High School has 

been delayed again. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Mr Holstein told Nor’West 

News while the repair work 

was going on, the school was 

also taking the opportunity to 

spend time doing “necessary” 

upgrades to the centre. 

The school has spent $2 

million on the upgrades, which 

include a new air-conditioning 

system and refreshing the paint 

job on the building’s exterior, 

as well as some smaller internal 

work. 

“It was definitely time to 

upgrade . . . I’d heard from a 

few people the heating and 

cooling definitely needed work 

on it,” Mr Holstein said. He said 

with construction of this type, 

you always anticipate delays. 

Work on the 700-seat centre 

is part of a $24 million repair 

and redevelopment plan at the 

school, which includes several 

of the school’s other buildings. 

Once completed, Mr Holstein 

said the board would be able 

to begin “the master planning 

stage” of the school’s postquake 

redevelopment. 

Mr Holstein said the upgrade 

work on the Aurora Centre 

is not only important to the 

school, but also to the wider 

community, as the building 

filled a key role following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

It was one of the only venues 

to host events left in the city. 

“It’s a significant building for 

Burnside but also for the city 

post-quake ,” Mr Holstein said.

Coastal- 

Burwood 

Ward city 

councillor 

Glenn 

Livingstone 

talks about 

how the red 

zone area 

could be 

used for different sporting 

and recreational events 

THE AVON Otakaro corridor, 

described by Regenerate 

Christchurch as a ‘green 

spine’, presents various future 

possibilities for the city. 

As a spine, it will serve us in 

the future by holding various 

activities in its 150m width. 

Its length also serves to hold 

Christchurch together, as it winds 

its way from the city to the sea. 

While some of the permanent 

developmental options are yet to 

be decided and may take some 

time to reach fruition, others may 

be developed now. Community 

gardens, heritage trails, walking 

and cycling tracks (some of 

which are already in place on 

top of the temporary stopbanks) 

and lovingly tended areas such 

as those by Bryan and Colleen 

Fairbairn may be enjoyed now, 

or could be developed in the very 

near future. 

A triathlon linking the city and 

New Brighton would also enable 

enjoyment of the green spine. 

Beginning with a kayak, paddlers 

could take off downstream from 

Victoria Park by the town hall 

to Kerrs Reach, transition to 

off-road cycles and go from there 

across the Avondale Rd bridge 

and back to Victoria Park on 

the trail on top of the stopbanks 

or alongside the river, before 

running to the finish in New 

Brighton. 

Victoria Park, Kerrs Reach and 

New Brighton have all been used 

for multi-sport and triathlon 

transition and finish line areas 

before. 

Participants could take part 

as individuals or in teams. Such 

an event would promote the 

Avon Otakaro River corridor 

and promote connectivity and 

a sense of destination for New 

Brighton, which the city council 

is undertaking through both 

Regenerate Christchurch and its 

development arm, Development 

Christchurch Ltd. 

Last week the Government 

re-instated the four well-beings 

in the Local Government Act. 

Regeneration of the residential 

red zone could hardly be a greater 

expression of social, economic, 

environmental and cultural wellbeing. 

Its development and use can 

serve to unite west and east 

through the river itself, which 

threads its way from one side of 

the city to the other and out to 

the sea. 

IN THE ZONE: Glen 

Livingstone, seen her 

competing in the Coast 

to Coast, has suggested 

a triathlon be held in the 

residential red zone. 


Local 


Now 

Councillor raises red zone triathlon plan 


ridiculous. And too close to each

other much better options. 

James Cranefield – I’d 

prefer if they just opened one in 

my kitchen. 

Ashlii Archibald – Maybe 

this one will remember my

Chessa Crow – Our people, 

our city and our planet do not

the city. 

Readers respond to a story 

about McDonald’s having 

it’s sights set on opening 

a restaurant on Marshland

intersection 

Ryan Nield – How about 

concentrating on making the 

food taste better, rather than how 

many McDonald’s restaurant

Stefan Miller – Can’t we

have a Carl’s Jr thanks. 

Nick Collett – Please no. 

Jane Geary – Sad. More 

healthy food options is what the 

city and our people need. 

Barbara Miln – I personally 

think McDonald’s should 

seriously think about opening

Now 

Bookarama gets Bishopdale buzzing 



THE BENEFITS of having 

Bookarama in Bishopdale 

could see the event held there 

permanently. 

The annual event, organised 

by the Rotary Club of Bishopdale 

Burnside, was moved to the Bishopdale 

YMCA Recreation Centre 

as the Burnside High School hall, 

where it is normally held, is undergoing 

earthquake repairs. 

Bishopdale Burnside Rotary 

president Graeme Tapp said the 

event went “really well” with 

three days of sun helping bring a 

crowd. 

He said the organisation was 

“assessing” whether or not to 

have the event in Bishopdale 

again next year. 

“A lot of people like it, liked the 

convenient parking. The ease of 

being able to get a park was a big 

thing we were getting feedback 

on,” he said. 

Mr Tapp also said the YMCA 

hall was more central to the Bishopdale 

Burnside. 

“The only downside was that we 

lost the extra day. The event is normally 

four days but we could only 

have the hall for three,” he said. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board deputy 

chairman Aaron Campbell said 

over the three days from Friday, 

the event brought thousands of 

people into the area. 

He said it was “amazing” for 

the regenerating suburb. 

“It’s just great to have that 

in Bishopdale. . . the other shops 

were doing a great trade,” he 

said. 

Mr Campbell said there was 

a lot convenient parking, as well 

as it being an easy to get to location. 

“There’s no downside to having 

it in Bishopdale . . . just a huge 

benefit,” he said. 

Mr Campbell said along with 

the National Cat Show, which 

was held in Bishopdale last year, 

it was events like Bookarama that 

were encouraging people back to 

the suburb. 

The money collected from this 

year’s Bookarama had not been 

tallied yet, but it would be a similar 

number to the $92,000 raised 

last year, Mr Tapp said. 

“It’ll go to a number of community 

organisations in the Bishopdale 

Burnside area,” he said. 

CROWD: The Rotary Club received a lot of positive feedback about Bookarama being held in the 

Bishopdale YMCA.

MacDonald to lead board 

• By Sophie Cornish 

SAM MACDONALD has been 

voted in as the new chairman 

of the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board. 

Former chairman 

David Cartwright 

tabled his resignation 

at a board meeting 

on April 9, after planning 

to step down 18 

months into the role. 

A vote for Mr 

MacDonald’s former 

position as deputy 

chairman resulted in a 

tie between Mr Cartwright 

and Aaron Campbell. 

Mr MacDonald said it was 

Sam 

MacDonald 

decided among board members 

to give Mr Campbell the role. 

Mr Cartwright will still 

remain on the board and is 

“committed to working for 

Fendalton,” 

said Mr 

MacDonald. 

“The most 

important 

thing at the 

moment, 

and the real 

focus, is on 

the Long 

Term Plan 

submission. 

I will be presenting 

our 

submission to council on April 

30,” said Mr MacDonald. 

David 

Cartwright 

“Within that, we will be 

advocating for a low, if not 

minimal, rate increase and 

some of the key projects in 

our ward, including the traffic 

lights for Aaron Keown 

and the community in 

Harewood.” 

The leadership 

changes took effect from 

last Monday. 

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,” he said.

been taking me down to his farm at Ohai, 

in Southland, in the school holidays since 

I was 10.’’ 

His neighbour, Alan Findlay’s family 

farm has sheep, beef and deer, giving 

Angus plenty of variety to learn from. 

Angus put his skills to good use when 

he teamed up with his St Bede’s College 

classmate Nick O’Connor, 15, to win the 

New Zealand Young Farmers Tasman 

region TeenAg competition at Innovation 

Park in Templeton on April 7. 

The pair will be joined by a second 

St Bede’s College team of Tomos Blunt, 

17, and Finn Taylor, 17, in the national

“I can’t wait,” said Angus. “Last year 

I just missed out on going to the grandfinal, 

so I’m stoked.” 

Forty-four teams competed in the 

Tasman TeenAg competition. 

Angus saved up his pocket money from 

a young age and bought eight chickens, 

gradually building up to 80 hens, which 

he kept on an overgrown section next 

door, selling the eggs. 

When he saved enough money he 

bought some ewes and now has 95 ewes, 

which he grazes on various empty sections 

that he leases near the airport on 

Gardiners and Hussey Rds.

Heel pain 

and athletic kids 

Sever’s disease is a common heel injury 

that occurs in kids. It can be painful, however 

is a temporary ailment with no long-term 

effects. The Papanui Foot Clinic are experts 

in assisting your child with resources for a 

quick and long-term recovery. 

Sever’s disease, also called calcaneal 

apophysitis, is a painful bone disorder that 

results from inflammation (swelling) of 

the growth plate in the heel. It is a common 

cause of heel pain in growing kids, especially 

those who are physically active. 

Such stress commonly results from 

physical activities and sports that involve 

running and jumping, especially those 

that take place on hard surfaces, such as 

track, basketball, soccer, and gymnastics. 

Frequently occurs when activity levels 

change like going from summer sport to 

winter sport. 

Poor-fitting shoes can contribute to the 

condition by not providing enough support 

or padding for the feet or by rubbing against 

the back of the heel. 

It usually occurs during the growth spurt 

of adolescence, any time between the ages of 

8 and 13 for girls and 10 and 15 for boys. 

Signs and Symptoms 

The most obvious sign of Sever’s disease 

is pain or tenderness in one or both heels, 

usually at the back. The pain also might 

extend to the sides and bottom of the heel, 

ending near the arch of the foot. 

A child also may have these related 

problems: 

• Pain in the back of the heel 

• difficulty walking – hobbling after a game 

• discomfort or stiffness in the feet upon 

awaking 

• discomfort when the heel is squeezed on 

both sides 

• an unusual walk, such as walking with 

a limp or on tiptoes to avoid putting 

pressure on the heel 

Symptoms are usually worse during or 

after activity and get better with rest. 

Treatment 

The immediate goal of treatment is pain 

relief: 

• perform foot and leg exercises to stretch 

we can 

help! 

and strengthen the leg muscles and 

tendons 

• elevate and apply ice (wrapped in a towel, 

not applied directly to the skin) to the 

injured heel for 20 minutes two or three 

times per day, even on days when the pain 

is not that bad, to help reduce swelling 

• use an elastic wrap or compression 

stocking that is designed to help decrease 

pain and swelling 

• supportive footwear 

• foot orthotics to support the arch 

Recovery and Recurrence 

Although Sever’s disease generally heals 

quickly, it can recur if long-term measures 

are not taken to protect the heel. It is vitally 

important that kids wear proper shoes. 

Good quality, well-fitting shoes with shockabsorbent 

(padded) soles to help reduce 

pressure on the heels. High heels should be 

avoided. Other preventive measures include 

continued stretching exercises and icing the 

affected heel after any activity. 

• heel pads that cushion the heel as it strikes 

the ground 

• heel lifts that reduce strain on the Achilles 

tendon by raising the heel 

• orthotic inserts are highly recommended 

- they hold the heel in an ideal position 

while walking, running or playing sport 

The risk of recurrence goes away on its 

own when foot growth is complete, and the 

growth plate has fused to the rest of the heel 

bone, usually around age 15. 

If you or your child feels any foot pain. 

Call the Papanui Foot Clinic and make an 

appointment, Dr. Graham is an expert you 

can trust. 03 352 6400

Students tackle global issues in US 

SCHOOLS 


A TEAM of former Cobham 

Intermediate students will 

compete at an international 

competition in the United States 

in June aimed at solving future 

global issues 

Last year, the Cobham team 

of Mac Craig, Benjamin Davey, 

Eric Huang and Corin Simcock 

won the junior category at the 

Future Problem Solving New 

Zealand national championships, 

while a Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School team of Abby Croot, 

Lucy Anderson, Emily Davey 

and Victoria Park won the senior 

division. 

Both teams advanced to the 

FPS world championships where 

they will compete against 2200 

participants in Wisconsin to find 

solution to topics in the criminal 

justice system. 

E Wen Wong, 15, from Burnside 

High School has also been 

selected to travel to the US as 

an individual competitor after 

winning the middle division 

individual competition. 

FPS is an internationallyrecognised 

competition which 

encourages creative, innovative 

critical thinking under pressure

global issues. The compeititon 

will cover questions on law enforcement, 

criminal behaviour, 

technology and what future 

courtrooms may look like. 

“The students will be considering 

problems that are crucial to 

humanity in the future, like 30 

years ahead of now,” said Sue 

Williams, a specialist teacher 

who will lead the teams to the 

US. They will be given scenarios 

which fall within the topic then 

be required to find the problems 

and solutions for them. 

The group will compete 

against US state champions and 

national champions from about 

other 19 countries. 

“For some highly-able kids, 

this is what they love doing 

because it’s real, but also in their 

head, very difficult and (has) 

that mix of exactness and creativity,” 

said Ms Williams. 

The teams have applied for 

funding for the trip from the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

Burnside High 

plans on 

holding its 

own ‘Stage 

Challenge’ 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

is planning to replace Stage 

Challenge with its own in-house 

competition. 

‘Compass Wars’ will replace 

the national competition which 

organisers announced in January 

would end in its current form due 

to a lack of funding. 

Last week, Minister of Education 

Chris Hipkins said Rock- 

Quest Promotions Ltd, which 

runs the Smokefree Rockquest, 

would run then Stage Challenge 

this year, using a $800,000 grant 

from the Ministry of Education. 

The arrangement with Rockquest 

is a one-off, with the ministry 

working on a longer-term 

funding model to keep the school 

event alive. The new competition 

organised by the school will allow 

students the opportunity to be 

involved in a “large performance 

ensemble.” 

The school is split into four divisions, 

and each will have leaders 

running the group. Each cast will 

have a maximum of 6min to perform 

using dance, drama, music, 

lighting and projection. 

The performances are set to be 

presented on May 14.

Named after the founder, who started 

the business in 1963, HARALDS 

has been the trusted name in fabrics for 

Christchurch shoppers ever since. 

In 1975, HARALDS original store in Papanui 

was supplemented by a city store, called 

HARALDS of Lichfield Street. This store 

later moved to Birmingham Drive and 

HARALDS Warehouse was born. 

After the devastating earthquakes of 

2010 and 2011, which saw HARALDS of 

Papanui damaged beyond repair, HARALDS 

Warehouse in Birmingham Drive was 

enlarged to accommodate the vast range 

of stock. 

Initially focusing on dress fabrics such 

as wool jersey, gabardine and crimplene, 

HARALDS has moved with the times into 

new and innovative fabrics such as Lycra, 

superfine New Zealand merino, polar fleece 

and Hydravent waterproof/breathable 

nylon. The range now extends from apparel 

types to furnishing weaves, from organza 

and satin to oilskin and mattress protector. 

“The range is enormous and varied with 

new stock arriving almost daily,” says 

director and buyer, Tony, who is Harald’s 

son. Harald is still involved in the business, 

though the day-to-day running has now 

become Tony’s responsibility, and he is 

proudly continuing his father’s legacy.

‘The Trusted Name in Fabrics’. 

Specialists in apparel and 

furnishing fabrics for 55 years. 

“Not only do we have a massive range, 

but HARALDS Warehouse also offers 

exceptional quality fabrics that are real 

value for money,” Tony says. 

“It can truly be said that HARALDS of 

Birmingham Drive has something for 

everyone. The staff are experienced and 

knowledgeable and willing to help with all 

your fabrics needs.” 

HARALDS Warehouse is open to the 

public from 10am until 4pm “Any day but

“Everybody is welcome,” says Tony. “You 

will find it fun and so worthwhile to visit 

HARALDS Warehouse at 47 Birmingham

Olympic coach for Northwood gymnast 

Nicholas set 

to raise the 

bar in Portugal 


A 12 year old gymnast from 

Northwood will recieve 

coaching from Scott Hann, 

mentor to five-time Olympic 

medallist, Max Whitlock, in 

Portugal. 

Nicholas Del Ray has been 

selected to attend the Anadia 

International Gymnastics 

Academy for a week-long camp 

in May. 

The camp is an academy for 

coaches and two from Nicholas’ 

club, Olympia Gymnastic 

Sports, will attend. 

The St Andrew’s College pupil 

is one of eight athletes selected 

to go along and participate, as 

part of the coaching activities. 

The other boys, Theo Nankivell, 

Patrick Smith, Brody Hall, 

Kennedy Payne, Ali Haque, 

Thomas Chao and Nico Lavin all 

range from ages 12-18. 

Nicholas’ mother, Brenda 

Watson-Del Ray said she is 

proud of her son for gaining the 

opportunity. 

“It will be an amazing adventure 

for all the boys to train 

with some of the top european 

coaches and gymnasts.”

the athletes and coaches will 

work on skill development and 

progression. 

Nicholas’ main events involved 

aparatus, including the 

floor, vault, rings, parallel bar, 

high bar and pommel horse. 

She said the selection is 

“hugely inspirational.” 

“This is a developmental 

opportunity that athletes from 

New Zealand very rarely get to 

attend.” 

Nicholas started gymnastics 

at the age of five and trains for 

six days a week for a total of 20 

hours. 

He also travelled to the United 

Kingdom in 2017, to train at the 

South Essex Gymnastics Club 

and was trained by some of the 

UK’s top coaches and gymnasts, 

said Ms Watson-Del Ray. 

Nicholas recently finished first 

at a gymnastics meet in Kansas 

City with 63 other competitors 

and third overall at a meet in 

Houston, out of 173 athletes. 

“He was in awe watching competitors 

from all over the world 

including the USA Mens Olympic 

Team at these meets,” said 

Ms Watson-Del Ray.

Rangi hockey 

squad win big 

in Belgium 

SIXTEEN HOCKEY players 

from Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

are currently touring Europe, 

playing top teams in the United 

Kingdom, Netherlands and 

Belgium. 

The squad has won four games 

and lost three. On Sunday, they 

played the Royal Antwerp under-19 

team in Belgium, winning 

10-1. 

Director of sport Jo Fogarty 

said after a massive fundraising 

effort and a lot of hard work, the 

group is thoroughly enjoying the 

competition. 

“Experiences like this are 

key to extending our players’ 

horizons beyond New Zealand, 

so they experience first-hand the 

rigours of international competition. 

After the match, we all came 

together for dinner and a few 

games with a bit of dancing to 

finish off the night. The Belgian 

girls were awesome hosts and 

we were able to trade some of 

our tops with their playing strip 

which was very special,” said 

Fogarty. The squad will be in 

London on Anzac Day and will 

take part in official commemorations.

• By Jacob Page 

TWO PROMISING young 

players from St Margaret’s 

College and Cobham 

Intermediate have won Tennis 

Canterbury awards. 

Abby Mason (right), 14, was 

named junior female player of 

the year after she excelled in her 

age group and beyond. 

Cobham’s Diego Quispe-Kim, 

12, took home male junior player 

of the year. Diego trains with his 

father Juan 20 hours a week and 

models his forehand and serve off 

world No 1, Spaniard Rafa Nadal. 

Diego is fresh off his national 

12s singles victory at Wilding 

Park in January. He is eager to 

add the 14s, 16s and 18s titles in 

the coming years. 

Abby was the youngest 

member of the St Margaret’s 

senior A team which won the 

South Island championships and 

made the semi-final at nationals. 

She was part of the Elmwood 

Tennis Club premier team which 

won the Canterbury metro 

competition and was runner-up 

at the 14s national tournament. 

Abby said her highlight 

over the past season was 

SPORTS 

St Margaret’s, Cobham 

players take out top 

junior tennis awards 

being selected for the New 

Zealand team which played 

in the Australian nationals at 

Melbourne’s famed Rod Laver 

Arena. Winning the Tennis 

Canterbury award made her 

reflect on her season. 

“I remember looking up to the 

older girls who won this award 

and to win it is recognition of 

how things have gone,” she said. 

Her father Rhett Mason was a 

former junior Davis Cup player 

and the pair play mixed doubles 

competitions alongside each 

other. “Dad was the one who 

introduced me to the sport by 

throwing balls at me when I was 

two or three, so it’s great to be 

able to share his passion.” 

Medals, records for St Andrew’s 

student at swimming champs 

ST ANDREW’S College 

student Taiko Torepe-Ormsby 

was the standout Swimming 

Canterbury West Coast athlete 

at the national age group 

championships in Auckland. 

Taiko, swimming for the 

Wharenui club, won five gold 

medals and set a new national 

age group record in the 14-years 

50m backstroke. Taiko shaved 

0.46sec off Ross Dunwoody’s 

1996 record, finishing in a time 

of 27.11sec. 

He also broke six SCWC 

records and is now the 14-yearold 

age group champion in the 

50m freestyle, 50m backstroke, 

100m backstroke, and 50m and 

100m butterfly. 

He also won silver in the 100m 

freestyle, and bronze in the 

200m backstroke. 

QE II club member Zeke Pine 

claimed all three 16-year-old

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Confidence 

returns with a 

Lovebite smile 

Dawn, from Pukekohe in Auckland, 

couldn’t be more pleased with her new 

Lovebite dentures, made by internationally 

renowned clinical dental technician, 

Richard Greenlees, which have restored 

the look of her natural smile, and given 

her considerable confidence. 

“When we started the process, Richard 

asked me to bring in some photographs 

of my natural teeth, and put a lot of time 

into recreating the exact look. My new 

dentures are so much better than the old 

sets I’ve had over the last 17 years. I’m 

very happy.” 

Dawn, who is previously from 

Christchurch, flew down from Auckland 

weekly over five weeks for consultations 

with Richard, and found him to be a ‘good 

guy’ to deal with. 

“He is very accommodating and easy 

going. It was also great to deal directly 

He made my teeth look 

so natural, real, and a 

little bit aged, not like the 

sparkly white dentures 

everyone else has. 

with the person making my dentures. 

This was a much better process than with 

previous dentures, where I had to pretty 

much go with what I was given whether 

I liked them or not. Richard was very 

patient and is fussy with his work. He 

made my teeth look so natural, real, and 

a little bit aged, not like the sparkly white 

dentures everyone else has.” 

Dawn says the return of her confidence 

is one of the biggest pluses of her new 

Lovebite dentures. 

“Losing your teeth is not a nice thing 

to go through, and can make you feel 

like you’ve lost your personality. My new 

dentures have recreated my natural look 

and brought my confidence right back 

into line.” 

Lovebite is located at 402 Montreal 

St. Phone (03) 379 1222. Hours 9am- 

5.30pm Monday - Friday.
