residents may be a step closer to
having heavy vehicles banned
from driving on their street.
It comes as operational
guidelines for the new Traffic and
Parking Bylaw are close to being
finalised.
Residents have been pleading
with the city council, Halswell
Ward city councillor Anne
Galloway and Wigram MP
Megan Woods to put restrictions
on heavy vehicles which have
been keeping them awake at night
for a year.
In October, village owner John
Tooby launched a verbal attack
on four elderly residents, while
being interviewed about a sign
they had put up on a village fence
protesting noisy trucks. A resident
then removed the sign and Mr
Tooby later apologised for the
ordeal.
City council manager
operations transport Steffan
Thomas said the guidelines have
been drafted and circulated.

IT’S TAKEN a while but there is now light
at the end of the tunnel for long-suffering
Lodestar Ave residents in Wigram.
Operational guidelines for the new
Traffic and Parking Bylaw are close to
being finished, which will give the city
council power to stop heavy trucks from driving along streets
like Lodestar.
Lodestar went into rest home folklore when Lady Wigram
Retirement Village owner John Tooby lost the plot and went
ballistic at his residents in October who were protesting about
trucks using Lodestar Ave.
It just happened to be taped by one of our editorial staff
covering the protest. To Tooby’s credit, he later apologised to
those residents, putting it down to one of those moments. He
wouldn’t be alone there.

Top health tips for winter
Staying well
These may be the best 10 pieces of advice to keep you and
your family healthy this winter.
TEN TIPS FOR
STAYING WELL THIS WINTER Hornby Panthers unsung heroes
1. Have the influenza vaccination. For some people the flu
vaccine is free.
2. Wash your hands. Winter illnesses are easily spread by
hands. Wash both sides of the hands and between the fingers
for at least 20 seconds, use soap, and dry hands with a
paper towel or clean dry towel.
3. Exercise daily. A 30-minute walk outside gives you some
fresh air and helps your body get stronger.
4. Choose to eat healthy foods. This helps to build your
immune system. Include fresh vegetables with some lean
protein and try to reduce sugar and salt intake.
Pampering day
Check out the Hornby Panthers ‘Women in League Day’
on May 10 at Leslie Park.
5. Get fresh air in your home. Open windows during the day
(even for a short time) and then close them before the sun
goes down or before you turn on the heating. A well-aired
home helps keep it dry and keeps your family well.
6. Reduce dampness. Keep the bathroom door closed when
showering or bathing to lessen dampness settling around
the house. Dampness allows mould and mildew to grow
and can lead to respiratory illness.
7. Consider a dehumidifier. If possible use a dehumidifier in
your home as it can help keep your home dry, especially if
there is a lot of moisture or dampness.
Page 17
8. Take care with coughs and sneezing. You may be spreading
bugs if you are coughing or sneezing, and the best way
to avoid this is to stay away from work or school. Don’t
cough and sneeze around babies and small children as they
can get sick very easily.
9. Quit Smoking - If you do smoke, do so outside, and never
smoke around children. Visit Quitline The Quit Group NZ (or
free call 0800 778 778) for support on quitting
10. Use Healthline or your GP clinic after hours line for
advice. If you or your child is feeling unwell you can get free
health advice from registered nurses by phoning Healthline
on 0800 611 116.

Urumau Reserve plan on hold
Community
board seeks
more detail
• By Sarla Donovan
AN UPDATED development
plan for Lyttelton’s Urumau
Reserve has been put on hold.
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board rejected
the city council staff
recommendation to adopt the
plan at a special meeting on
Monday.
Board
chairwoman
Pam Richardson
said it wanted
more background
information on
the work that
Pam
Richardson
has been done
on tracks, trails
and other areas of
development in the reserve.
She would not specify what
type of information the board
is seeking, saying only that it
needed “further clarification”
on some issues.
“All the work that’s been done
in the reserve, we just wanted a
bit more background on it.”
The aim of the development
plan, originally created in
2008, was to increase public
access and use of the reserve,
control pests and weeds, and
enhance the township’s natural
landscape and birdlife.
Developments in the 10 years
since then have included new
mountain bike tracks, steps
and signage, native plant revegetation,
weed control and a
developing pest management
strategy.
Ms Richardson said the
board had raised a number of
questions with city council staff
over historical development in
the reserve, and it was now a
matter of waiting for them to
come back with answers.
The plan would be approved
when the board members had
“enough information,” she said.
There is no time frame in place
at the moment, Ms Richardson
said, and “it might take some
time to work through.”
A city council report on
the proposed plan said it had
attracted an “unexpected” level
of public interest, with 625

Four hundred and seventy

plan, 98 had concerns and 54

Key concerns raised included
privacy, parking and traffic
issues for neighbouring
residents; environmental
damage; limited access
points; shared and unauthorised
paths and general opposition
to mountain biking in the
reserve.

CONSENT FOR SKATE PARK
After months of delays, the Halswell
Domain skate park has been granted
resource consent. Its consent was
held up due to potential skate board
noise. City council head of parks
Brent Smith said the skate park will
be built in stages, with construction
set to start at the end of August. He
said the skate park would then be
completed by Christmas.
BUCHANANS RD SPEED
The city council is proposing to
reduce the speed limit on Buchanans
Rd outside the Delamain
subdivision, from 70 to 50km/h.
The change aims to deal with the
increased traffic in this area due
to recent and proposed residential
development. To make a submission
please visit https://ccc.govt.nz/thecouncil/consultations-and-submissions/haveyoursay/show/139.
Public
consultation closes on Monday.
HARRINGTON PARK TOILET
A toilet is going to be built in Riccarton’s
Harrington Park next month.
This follows public consultation on
the proposal, which finished last
week. The park, on Peverel St, currently
has no toilet. On completion,
city council staff will work with the
local community on having an appropriate
artwork provided on the
exterior of the building, as well as a
community noticeboard.

PROP IUMA Mulitalo has
notched up 150 premiership
games for the Linwood Keas.
The hard-nosed prop was given
the honour of taking the final
conversion in his side’s 44-10
over Riccarton Knights Saturday,
which he landed.
“It was straight out in front,”
he said. “I tried not to think
about it and just kick it.”
It was nice to get a start and
while I’m sore it was great to get
another win,” he said.
The humble front-rower started
his tenure at the club in 2007 and
has been a mainstay ever since.
“When I first came into the
team we made three premiership
finals and then after that we went
through some rebuilding years,”
he says. “So I’ve been there for
the good and the bad.”
The 33-year-old made his
premiership debut for Eastern
as a fresh-faced front-rower in
2002.
After a stint with Celebration,
he is now one of the Keas’ most
treasured veterans.
Coach Andrew Auimatagi says
Mulitalo never shies away from a
tough carry and is always willing
to give back to the club.
“He’s a strong but quiet leader
within our team and he contributes
a great deal to our culture.
“He coaches our under-18 team
three times a week so he’s giving
back and passing on his knowledge
to the next generation.”
Mulitalo’s first memory of the
sport was playing prop for the
Sydenham Swans under-7s.

“I like to compete and I really
enjoy being involved in the
games.”
He says he was most proud of
being involved in the club rebuild
which happened after 2009.
“The club is in a really strong
place having won the last two
finals but there was a rebuild for
a few years where a lot of people
worked hard to get the club to
where we are now.”
Mulitalo says over his 16 years
of playing in the top grade, he
says the biggest change has been
the increased speed of the game
and the added emphasis on the
tackle and play the ball.
‘The game has sped-up and
people want to play the ball
quicker so you have to win the
wrestle (as a defender) to try to
slow that down.”
Tennis veteran
honoured for
service to seniors
• By J acob Page
LYNDSAY DICK continues to
give back to the sport she was
first introduced to as a five-yearold.
The Halswell resident was
named senior
volunteer of the
year at the Tennis
Canterbury awards.
Ms Dick (right)
received the award
for her role as
administrator of
Tennis Canterbury’s
seniors’ group,
which consists of
more than 200
players over the age
of 35.
She is also an Ellesmere Tennis
Sub-Association competitions
committee member.
“It’s great for people to see
tennis as a game that can be
played at any age and that there
are opportunities in the sport.”
Ms Dick started playing tennis
55 years ago as a five-year-old.
“It was a family sport that we
all played on the weekend and I
learned the game by hitting the
SPORTS
SOUTHERN VIEW
ball up against our garage door.”
She has been a regular on the
Christchurch inter-club scene
since 1978.
She has spent most of her
time between division one and
premier and has returned in
recent years to the
club she first started
with, Hagley Park.
“I plan on retiring
from the higher level
of tennis soon, but
I’ll continue playing
tennis at other levels,”
she said. “You never
give up.”
Her passion for
promoting rural
tennis led her to
become a member off the Tennis
Canterbury board.
“It’s always nice to receive such
an award because you
don’t do it for the recognition,”
she said. Ms Dick says the
Canterbury seniors season
is busiest during the winter
months.
As well as tennis, Ms Dick is
also a keen badminton player but
she says tennis holds a special
place with her.

home helps keep it dry and keeps your family well.
6. Reduce dampness. Keep the bathroom door closed when
showering or bathing to lessen dampness settling around
the house. Dampness allows mould and mildew to grow
and can lead to respiratory illness.
7. Consider a dehumidifier. If possible use a dehumidifier in
your home as it can help keep your home dry, especially if
there is a lot of moisture or dampness.
8. Take care with coughs and sneezing. You may be spreading
bugs if you are coughing or sneezing, and the best way
to avoid this is to stay away from work or school. Don’t
cough and sneeze around babies and small children as they
can get sick very easily.
9. Quit Smoking - If you do smoke, do so outside, and never
smoke around children. Visit Quitline The Quit Group NZ (or
free call 0800 778 778) for support on quitting
10. Use Healthline or your GP clinic after hours line for
advice. If you or your child is feeling unwell you can get free
health advice from registered nurses by phoning Healthline
on 0800 611 116.

FREE OFFERS
ATTRACT CUSTOMERS AT NEW CHEMIST
Since opening just a few weeks ago, Bargain Chemist in Riccarton
Road has already attracted hundreds of customers
with its free prescriptions for all fully subsidised medicines,
and free blister packs, and was the first chemist in Christchurch
to do so.
The reason for these free offers is that they want people to
take their medications as they should, business partner Davy
explains. By not having to pay for their prescribed medications,
customers won’t avoid getting them because they can’t
afford it, while the free blister packs help eliminate confusion
for people taking several medications, he says.
Davy is one of two qualified pharmacists at Bargain Chemist,
who can also provide advice and counselling for customers on
any health-related matters.
Bargain Chemist also stocks an extensive range of vitamins
and health supplements, as well as a full range of beauty
and skincare products, and by purchasing the stock at very
competitive prices they are able to pass the savings on to
their customers by selling them at much lower prices than
elsewhere.
The six friendly, knowledgeable staff members in the store
are also happy to advise on the best skincare and makeup
products for customers’ needs.
Bargain Chemist opened its doors at 117a Riccarton Rd on
March 12. The store is centrally located in the main shopping
area, close to Westfield. Opening hours are Monday to Friday
8am-7pm, weekends 9am-6pm. Open seven days a week apart
from Christmas Day.

FASHION STORES CATERING
FOR GROWING CUSTOMER DIVERSITY
As The Hub Hornby has undergone developments and
improvements over the last few years, this exciting shopping
centre has been growing its fashion offering to cater for the
increasing diversity of customers that shop there.
The fashion stores offer styles for all ages and fashion tastes.
They include Caroline Eve, Jeanswest, K &K Fashion, Max
and Pagani, as well as department store, Farmers. Exciting
streetwear and special items can be found in Bob Style and
Cosmic, while for the active fitness followers Stirling Sports
has a great range of active wear and shoes.
Current footwear retailers include Dowsons and Moda Bella,
with Ziera Shoes about to commence fitting out a new store.
Three of New Zealand’s most high-profile jewellery retailers,
Michael Hill, Pascoes and Silvermoon, have outlets at The Hub,
offering an extensive range of styles and prices. A new jeweller,
Glamlette, will also shortly be joining The Hub family with a
great range of contemporary and classic jewellery.
Retailers spoken to by Star Media find The Hub a great place
for doing business.
“We love being located in the heart of Hornby,” Adam Dowson
of Dowsons Shoes says.
“We have a loyal base of customers that we know well. We
focus on contemporary design from quality brands at stunning
value. Our latest winter lines, many from exclusive suppliers,
are in-store now.”
Since Cosmic opened just before Christmas 2016, manager
Robbie Brown says he has seen how much the west is growing,
and that it’s bringing a much wider range of customers to the
store.
“We have kids from Hornby High coming for their fashion stuff
right through to retirees coming to have a look.”
Robbie says he loves being in The Hub, as it has a relaxed atmosphere
and feels like a community with the other retailers.
Manager of Pascoes, Richelle Hynes-Wootton, says the mall
environment creates the important passing foot traffic, which
is “good for sales”.
“We’re doing well here. We have quite a wide range with good
price points.”
Store manager of Farmers, Chris McLachlan, says the store
offers a wide range of on-trend quality apparel and accessories
for the whole family.
“We are proud to be a fashion retailer in The Hub and will
continue to bring the latest trends to our customers each
season,” Chris says.
“Ensure you’re ready for the cooler months ahead with Farmers’
autumn/winter collection. Brace for the cold with musthave
knitwear, layering essentials including merino, or the latest
coats and jackets for the whole family.”

SCHOOL & COMMUNITY
COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Among the many changes and developments
continually taking place in the
south-west sector of Christchurch,
the arrival of new residents from many
different parts of the world is playing a
significant role.
Some of these new arrivals came to
provide much-needed assistance with
the city’s post-earthquake rebuild, while
others have come to find new opportunities
for themselves and their families.
Their ethnic and cultural diversity has
brought vibrancy to our neighbourhoods,
our shopping centres, our restaurant
facilities.
School rolls now boast an unprecedented
multi-cultural mix of students as the
children of immigrant families set out on
their path to learning and taking their
place in New Zealand society.
One of the area’s largest secondary
schools, Riccarton High School, has more
than 50 ethnicities represented there,
and as a celebration of the ethnic diversity
both in the school and the community
as a whole, they recently held
a Culture Fest at the school. Students,
teachers, parents and people from the
local community came together to enjoy
a variety of cultural musical and dance
performances put on by students from
Riccarton High School, Riccarton Primary
School and various cultural groups,
and sample diverse ethnic foods.
While the evening was cool and damp,
which meant the event had to be held in
the school assembly hall, it didn’t dampen
the enthusiasm of the audience, who
clapped and cheered enthusiastically for
the performers.
The idea for Culture Fest came from
Riccarton High School principal Neil
Haywood, and grew out of a Cultural
Walkthrough, an event organised last
year. For that, ethnic group leaders came
together to discuss ways to celebrate
the cultural diversity of the local area
and create a sense of belonging for new
New Zealand residents.
As a community event Culture Fest was
a collaboration between the school and
the Riccarton Public Library. The school’s
librarian Sally Blake and cultural diversity
facilitator Lulette Carney organised
the food and entertainment, and the
library, along with community groups and
organisations, set up stands to provide
information about their particular areas
of interest.

AUTHENTIC DISHES
TO PLEASE YOUR PALATE
Lincoln Road has become one of our city’s favourite food
destinations, and no wonder with the wide variety of food
establishments operating there.
One of these is Maxine’s Palace, where you will enjoy
authentic Cantonese-style dishes prepared by their experienced
Chinese chefs as you relax in the tastefully decorated
surroundings with a Chinese vintage feel.
For lunch, they offer the ever-popular Yum Char, with an
extensive selection of dim sums – those delicious morsels of
flavour you can’t get enough of.
Their all-day dinner menu includes a wide range of meat
and vegetarian dishes to suit all tastes, with one of the most
popular items on the menu being their Peking Duck
with pancake. For group dining, customers find the
lazy susan a convenient way to share the food.
Catering for functions is a specialty, with two private
dining areas available for weddings, engagement parties,
anniversaries or any family occasion.
There is also a children’s play area, so parents can enjoy their
meal knowing their children are having fun.
Since it was established in 2015, Maxine’s Palace has become
a regular dining spot for local residents, and bookings are
recommended for weekend dining.
Fully licensed and BYO wine only, Maxine’s Palace, 283 Lincoln
Rd, is open from Tuesday to Sunday.

residential sub-divisions
contribute to area’s growth
SOUTHERN VIEW
SOUTHERN VIEW
An aerial view of the new Karamu, Riccarton
Park sub-division.
The west of Christchurch has seen an exponential increase in
residential sub-divisions over the last few years, with developers
creating new places for people to live, bring up their families,
and enjoy the benefits of moving into a brand-new home
at an affordable price.
Karamu, Riccarton Park, is a new subdivision in Upper Riccarton
being developed by Ngãi Tahu Property. It is located
next to Riccarton Racecourse, between Yaldhurst Road and
Steadman Road.
Whilst situated conveniently close to town, the developers
say, Karamu also has the added bonus of a park-like feel with a
rural outlook towards the Alps.
Manakura, the subdivision’s first neighbourhood, was released
in October 2017. Sections were in high demand and sold
quickly. It is anticipated that four further stages, with sections
of varying size and price, will be developed over the next five
years. Offering homes for every stage of life – first-home buyers,
people looking to downsize or upscale, and retirees, when
complete, Riccarton Park, will be home to around 1600 people.
With construction well underway on the first and second
releases of the Rolleston sub-division Falcon’s Landing, the
developers Gillman Wheelans have recently announced the
third release.
Falcon’s Landing is situated off Lincoln-Rolleston Road and
Branthwaite Drive, with sections ranging in size from 432sqm
to 930sqm and prices starting from $156,000.
One of a number of the company’s developments in the
Selwyn District, and comprising around 600 residentially zoned
sections, Falcon’s Landing will incorporate reserves throughout
the area, with established trees and part of a hazelnut orchard
being retained and an edible garden being established.
Rolleston has grown significantly since the Canterbury earthquakes,
and to cater for the hundreds of families living there, it
now has a secondary school, Rolleston College, and a number
of primary schools, while the commute to and from many destinations
across the district and into Christchurch is becoming
quicker with the upgraded motorways, Gillman Wheelans
director Hamish Wheelans says.

Quality fare
with a Kiwi twist
The Camden, a new restaurant and bar on
Riccarton Road, offers a tempting selection
of top-quality dishes described as traditional
English fare with a modern Kiwi twist.
Located upstairs at 235 Riccarton Rd, The
Camden has natural-looking décor with exposed
brickwork and a loft-like feel.
The chef, formerly head chef at Clearwater
Resort, and with experience at several other
popular restaurants, has designed a diverse
menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner items
to please every palate.
The breakfast menu features all the classic
Kiwi favourites, for lunch you could enjoy a
steak sandwich, while choices at dinner include
the Canterbury Farmed Sirloin or the house
specialty, Trio of Pork.
Desserts such as the White Chocolate Mousse
or a daily selection of Macaroons will please
the sweetest tooth.
Fully licensed, with a great range of cocktails.

NEW SCHOOL
BUILDINGS ALMOST COMPLETE
Construction of the new building is due for completion by Queen’s
Birthday.
Anticipation is growing among staff and students at Hornby
High School, with the construction of the school’s new facilities
on track for practical completion by Queen’s Birthday
weekend this year, principal Robin Sutton says.
The building will then be inspected and issued with the Certificate
of Public Use.
Designed in an L-shape, the expansive building will accommodate
the science, art and technology departments, the whare,
student café and the Learning Commons area (formerly the
library) and the school’s administration.
Adjacent to this, the school’s new, much larger gymnasium is
being constructed, and will include two full-size indoor basketball
courts.
“We have to be completely out of the two remaining permanent
material classroom blocks by the end of Term 2, with
asbestos removal to be carried out over the school holidays,
prior to demolition, and we expect to move into the new
building over the last two weeks of Term 2,” Mr Sutton says.
“We have been granted permission by the Ministry of Education
to close the school for three extra days at the end of
Term 2 to allow for the move to be completed before the
holidays, with the students having supported learning at home
during those three days, but it will be a tight timeframe.”
The library and administration building had already been
vacated in 2017, with staff and students accommodated in
temporary structures on the school grounds.
Artist’s impression of the north facade
Hornby High School
Buildings that were brought on site for the Year 7 and 8 students
will be transported to the neighbouring Hornby Primary
S & T
School, as they still have many years of useful life in them, Mr
Sutton says.
The blessing of the new building by the local rununga, Te Taumutu,
will take place at the end of Term 2.
“This is an important protocol. The rununga have driven the
process and the local whanau will be invited to the ceremony,”
Mr Sutton says.
“The official opening with the Education Minister and Ministry
representatives will be held early in Term 3.
“Following the demolition of the existing buildings, construction
of the new kahui, our general learning space, will start on
the site, with completion expected by the end of 2019,” Mr
Sutton says.

VARIED PROGRAMMES PROVIDE SAFE, SECURE FUN
Parents and caregivers seeking before and
after-school care for their children can feel
confident placing them in a CASPA programee.
These varied and exciting programes are
designed to provide children with fun, engaging
and safe places to spend time before and after
school, as well as in the school holidays.
Their after-school option enables children to
get help with their homework, as well as enjoy
a nutritious afternoon tea. To help make it easy
to get there, CASPA provides a walking bus
service from some schools.
For parents needing before-school care, this is
available from 7.15am on school days, so there
is plenty of time to get organised for the day.
The CASPA School Holiday Programes are
popular with children and adults alike, and
feature a range of exciting activities such as
trips to the movies and ten-pin bowling. Art
activities keep the children occupied while encouraging
their creativity. They include painting
and clay work, cooking and making mocktails,
while sport offers everything from cricket to
skateboarding.
CASPA After School and Holiday Programmes
now incorporate the popular Papa Jacks Programe
in Rolleston, giving even more variety.
The School Holiday Programes largely focus
on the five to 13-year-old children, but there
is also a Youth Holiday Programme designed
for the 11 to 14 year-olds. And whatever their
age, children love being in the safe, relaxed and
creative environment CASPA provides.

RECIPE AND PHOTO SUPPLIED BY RECIPES.CO.NZ
ON TOP OF
SPAGHETTI
Mince is a favourite in Kiwi kitchens and this
recipe could well be your new go to – especially
as the weather cools down. Get the kids
involved to help roll the meatballs and you
will have dinner served in no time – but don’t
expect leftovers.
INGREDIENTS:
500g Quality Mark beef mince
1 small red onion, very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
leaves
1/2 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
1/4 cup seasoned flour
1 cup vegetable stock
400g can cherry tomatoes in juice, drained
TO SERVE:
400g dried spaghetti, cooked until al dente
4 good handfuls spinach, wilted
METHOD:
In a large bowl combine the beef mince, onion,
garlic, coriander, cumin, chilli, chopped parsley
and the breadcrumbs. Season with a little salt.
(It is a good idea to fry off a small piece of the
beef mince mixture and taste for seasoning).
Roll the beef mince mixture into about 24
small balls. Place the seasoned flour on a large
flat plate. Roll beef mince balls in the seasoned
flour.
Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan and
brown the meatballs, in batches, transferring
to a plate as you go.
Wipe out the frying pan with kitchen paper
and return the meatballs. Pour in the stock
and cherry tomatoes and cover with a lid.
Place over low heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
TO SERVE:
Serve hot meatballs with cooked spaghetti and
wilted spinach.

CLUB’S FACILITIES
OFFER SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Whatever you are looking for in the way of live entertainment,
relaxed dining, a quiet drink with friends, or sport and recreation
activities, the Hornby Workingmen’s Club has it all.
The modern complex in Carmen Road offers several dining

screen, where they can see their favourite team in action, as
they relax with friends and family. The club’s shuttle service offers

outdoor bowls, cricket, fishing, and travel. All these are run as
separate clubs, with members welcome to join as many as they

PAMPERING DAY FOR
UNSUNG HEROINES
OF HORNBY RUGBY
LEAGUE
While the players are the ones
that usually get all the attention,
it’s the people behind the scenes
that keep everything running
smoothly and are really the “backbone
of the club”, says Hornby
Rugby League president Brent
Tomlinson.
“It’s the mothers, the wives, the
partners of the players, who do
everything from managing, to
registering the junior players,
washing gear, providing refreshments,
cleaning up, and supporting
the players.
“Hornby Rugby League has
around 220 juniors and over 180
senior players, and that’s a lot of
people to organise,” Brent says.
So on May 12, the Saturday before
Mother’s Day, the club is holding
a celebration of these unsung
heroines, with ‘Women in League’
(WIL) day.
The Panthers will be playing the
Celebration Lions.
“We have had a special strip made
for the premier team to wear
for that match – it’s a very bright
fuchsia pink, and a bit like a super
hero’s outfit,” Brent says.
“The boys are wearing it to show
their support and appreciation for
the Panther Ladies – it was a bit
of a coup to get them to wear the
pink strip.
“The ladies will be pampered for
the day and the boys will step up
and do the hard yards that the
ladies normally do every week.”
Similar events are run in Australia
with the NRL, Brent says. Canterbury
Rugby League is on board
with the Hornby event and has
given permission for the team to
play in the special strip.
After being unable to use Leslie
Park for the whole of the 2017
season while it was being upgraded
by the Christchurch City
Council, Hornby played their first
matches of the 2018 season on
April 7 at their home ground.
Club volunteers have also completely
renovated the clubrooms
in time for the season.

“Simply purchase a reloadable key for $3, load it with
whatever value you choose and clip it on your key ring,
ready to use whenever you like.”
Sarah says all services at Liquid Self Service Laundromat
are very affordable - with washing from $4 and dryers
from $4 for 25 minutes which will dry up to three loads of
washing.
“Plus, by doing all your washing away from home you can
lower your monthly electricity bills substantially.”
The eco-friendly washing machines come in 8kg, 18kg and
28kg sizes - with the large washers ideal for bulky, heavy
duty items like feather duvets, mink blankets, sports gear
and curtains.
“The large and extra-large washers and dryers are ideal for
families and mothers to save time as they can do all their
washing and drying for a week in about one hour saving
water and energy.”
There are 8 Liquid Self Service Laundromat sites within the
Christchurch area – Hornby, Woolston, Burwood, Sydenham,
Richmond, Rangiora, Hoon Hay and Aranui.
Sites are open from 5am-11pm daily – “and all you need to

Smart keys can be used at any of the over 50 Liquid Self

NEW PROJECT TO PROVIDE
MORE SOCIAL HOUSING IN HORNBY
Artist’s impression of the new build in Lesley Keast Place
Over the next few months, Housing Plus Charitable Foundation
is establishing a housing project in Lesley Keast Place,
Hornby alongside four other not-for-profit entities.
The foundation’s new build, which is a steel fame construction,
comprises eight duplex units housing two tenants each, and
three two-bedroom cottages set in landscaped grounds.
The eight duplex units belong to Housing Plus, while the three
cottage units will be owned and managed by the Methodist
Mission in conjunction with Housing Plus. They will be ready
for tenanting in July.
Housing Plus is a new trust arising out of work undertaken
by the Beckenham Community Housing Trust (BCHT), which
oversees a project at Lancewood Courts in Beckenham.
The model, which was developed in partnership with the
Christchurch City Council, has been operating for over 16
years and has proved successful in housing people that benefit
from being in a secure environment with low-level support, but
do not require 24-hour care.
“These are people who often fall through the cracks of good
housing provision and because of relative poverty and other
issues can end up in very poor, unsatisfactory housing in unsafe
environments,” Housing Plus spokesperson Margaret Willis
says.
“The combination of high-quality housing, independent living
arrangements and low-level, on-site support at Lancewood
Courts has provided a safe and solid base for tenants, who are
then freer to attend to other issues in their lives.”
Residents’ comments from the latest external report on the
project reflect this, she says. They include:
“It feels like my home. Like a sanctuary from the outside
world.”
“I came here depressed and discouraged and isolated. I was
totally alone – not now…I love to come back here. You can be
yourself.”
“I am much happier here. No one hassles you. It’s peaceful and
quiet… I feel privileged to be here.”
Ms Willis says tenants often move into some form of voluntary
or part-time work.
“We have seen outcomes including reduction in the use of
medication and significant improvement in general wellbeing,”
Ms Willis says.
“Housing Plus is looking forward to establishing the Hornby
development as a place where people can feel safe, belong and
develop a sense of home and wellbeing.”

School students working on
their digital devices.
DIGITAL PLATFORM
TRANSFORMING TEACHING & LEARNING
Introduced in 2014 at seven schools in south-west Christchurch,
an innovative learning initiative is proving “profoundly
successful in accelerating students’ learning”, Hornby High
School principal Robin Sutton says.
Hornby High is one of the seven schools involved in the
programme, which is known as Manaiakalani, the others are
Hornby Primary School, Yaldhurst Model School, Gilberthorpe
School, St Bernadette’s School, South Hornby School, and
Wigram Primary School (formerly Sockburn School). Together
they form the Uru Mãnuka cluster of Manaiakalani, a Hawaiian
word that means “hook from heaven”.
Wanting to improve their students’ learning outcomes,
husband and wife team Russell and Dorothy Burt, currently
co-principals of Auckland’s Point England school, developed
the programme 10 years ago, with the Manaiakalani Education
Trust being set up to fund it. Since then the trust has raised
over $16 million.
The Uru Manuka cluster of schools was the first in Christchurch
to work with the Manaiakalani Education Trust Outreach
programme, which provides a digital teacher to work in
each of the seven schools every week – years 7-10 at Hornby
High and years 4, 5 and 6 at the primary schools.
As Hornby Primary School principal Gary Roberts explains,
the digital teacher works in classes that are using a one-to-one
digital device, giving teachers the skills to deliver the curriculum
on a digital platform.
“This has transformed the teaching and learning practice,” he
says.
“We wanted to reduce the digital divide and accelerate
student achievement to raise National Standard levels throughout
the cluster. Since the introduction of Manaiakalani we are
achieving both goals.”
Mr Sutton says students’ writing has improved at double the
rate of the national average and their reading and maths one
and a half times the average.
“With Manaiakalani we have seen a significant improvement in
student engagement at Hornby High,” he says. “The vision is
for the school to be a centre of creative excellence.”
Mr Roberts says with teachers implementing the curriculum
through the digital platform, “it creates motivated, engaged
learners – it’s cutting edge”.
The schools use Chromebooks for their digital learning, as all
the web-based applications are free through Google Chrome,

NEW SCHOOL A HIT
WITH STUDENTS
& COMMUNITY
he says.
“We have a relationship with computer supplier
Cyclone, who have arranged a package
deal for all seven schools, enabling parents to
pay off the devices over three years, if they
need to. At this stage, 75-80 per cent of the
devices at our school are student-owned. The
others are supplied by the school.”
Both principals say one of the most important
elements of the digital platform is the ability
it gives students to write their own blogs and
share their work with each other and with
family and friends, which Mr Sutton describes
as “learning made visible”.
Mr Roberts says they can “upload their work
and share it with a worldwide audience”.
“They couldn’t do that without the technology.
That’s one of the cool things about the Uru
Manuka cluster.”
With Manaiakalani Education Trust funding
coming to an the end, a new trust for Uru
Manuka has been set up in Christchurch
to continue funding the programme, which
requires $150,000 a year to run. The trustees
are former Christchurch mayor Garry Moore,
Janine Morrell-Gunn, manager of The Hub
Jason Marsden, and Rose Crossland.
Since moving into brand-new buildings on the
former Branston Intermediate site in Hornby,
everyone has settled in really well, South
Hornby School principal Simon Moriarty says.
“The children and the community are loving
the new environment. The classrooms have all
been purpose-built to meet the learning needs
of all our students,” he says.
“The outdoor area links with the indoor and
there is additional space in the playground,
which also includes a scooter track. It’s very
important to have that balance between learning
and the kids having fun.”
The last step in the move to the new site will
be completing the upgrade to the existing
school pool, Mr Moriarty says.
“That’s the second stage of the project and
the pool should be ready for the start of the
2018/19 season.”
The main focus for Term 2 at South Hornby
Primary will be the celebration of Matariki,
towards the end of the term.
“We have worked alongside the local rununga,
Te Taumutu, and they have gifted our school
with the name Te Manu Tukutuku, which translates
as kite. This has historical significance to
Maori in the local area, and we have named
our classrooms with the Maori names of the
four prevailing winds in Canterbury, which ties
in with the cultural narrative.”
School rolls in the western suburbs are in
a period of growth, and with the enrolment
zones, it means that children living in the
South Hornby area will have a place at South
Hornby School, Mr Moriarty says.
Create authentic Italian
dishes with locally
made fresh pasta
Anyone that enjoys cooking Italian food knows fresh pasta is the only way to go
to achieve that authentic flavour and texture.
Residents in the western suburbs are fortunate to have a fresh pasta producer
right on their doorstep – Pasta Vera. The business was founded 17 years
ago by New Zealander Phil Bennett, a baker by trade, who had fallen
in love with Italy and its cuisine after travelling around the country
and experiencing the Italian food culture.
On his return home he set up Pasta Vera, initially wholesaling to local
Christchurch restaurants.
As the business grew, Phil and his wife and business partner Linda
developed the product range from simple fettuccine and ravioli to include
many other types of pasta such as cannelloni and gnocchi as well as pesto and
pasta sauces.
Recently they expanded their business further with the opening of their new,
custom-built factory in Wigram Road, Sockburn, which includes a factory shop
offering the full range of fresh pasta and other authentic Italian food items so
you can create delicious Italian meals at home.
For those days when you are short of time and need a quick, tasty meal for the
family, or you have unexpected guests, they offer re-heat and serve meals. These
include the very popular baked lasagne, which is available as a single serve meal
or as a catering tray for groups – ideal for family occasions.
Other items regularly available include end-of-lines, samples and
special restaurant samples at discount prices.
The Pasta Vera Factory Shop is located on the corner of Wigram
Road and Musgrove Close. With plenty of off-street parking
available, it’s quick and convenient to pop in and pick up your
fresh pasta and sauce or ready-made meals.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am-5pm with a
late night Thursday until 6pm, and Saturday 9am-1pm.

TOP TASKS
IN THE GARDEN
Kiwi Gardener magazine highlights
what to prioritise in the garden now.
BY RACHEL VOGAN
Autumn is my favourite season of the year. With the cooler nights and warm days, it ticks the box for me. It is also a wonderful
time to get trees and shrubs planted out in the garden, and garden centres and plant stockists have amazing sales on – so it has
the bonus of being probably the most affordable time of year to invest in your garden, too.
Always bear in mind that plants will grow. While it looks better to plant a few extras to make the area look fuller, in a season or
two those small plants will more than likely to have doubled – if not tripled – in size. So, use restraint and, if need be, use a tape
measure to avoid hours of trimming in years to come.
INDOOR PLANTS
Globally, indoor plants are experiencing a resurgence in
popularity. A light switch has been turned on and people have
remembered that indoor plants not only liven and brighten up
an indoor space, but clean the air at the same time. Well-placed
indoor plants and greenery create a more relaxing, restful
ambience in any room and, as the colder months come closer,
bring the outdoors in beside you. Baby indoor plants are exceptional
value, as you can buy a couple for less than the cost
of a decent coffee, however, if instant gratification is more your
style, go for the big boys.
PERENNIALS
Lift and divide perennials while they are still above the ground
– before they go into hibernation. The best way to do this is
to lay a tarp or old curtain on the lawn or in the garden and
dig the entire plant out of the ground, remove any dead or
unhealthy looking segments, then divide it into sections and
replant. If you cut off sections of the plant while it is in the
ground you can cause damage to the plant without knowing it.
Good plants to divide now are hostas, ligularia, red hot poker,
delphiniums, alstroemeria, lady’s mantle, and astrantia. Hold doing
this for your dahlias for another month – you may as well
enjoy the blooms for a bit longer.
VEGETABLES
This month can be tricky in the vegetable patch. Some crops, such as
tomatoes and cucumbers, are still hanging on and producing and, whilst
this isn’t a bad thing, they are taking up valuable space that may be
required for autumn and winter crops. If you need the room, at some
point you might just have to be ruthless.
Loads of seedlings can go in this month, but not before the soil has had
a makeover. It is especially important to add nutrients and compost
now leading into winter. Plant out bok choy, celery, beetroot, salad
greens, kale and rocket. Sow broad bean seeds at some point this
month, too. This can be done directly into the ground, but if you don’t
have room in the garden – or if it’s simply easier – sow into punnets.

DIVERSION ROAD TO ALLOW
FOR MOTORWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The Christchurch Southern
Motorway Stage 2 (CSM2) project
being carried out by NZ Transport
Agency (NZTA) will see a diversion
road in place for approximately
18 months.
As from April 27, traffic travelling
on the Christchurch Southern
Motorway will be switched onto
the new temporary diversion
road. (See map.) Traffic changes
will be staged over a two-week
period to allow for this.
The diversion road will be in
place until the new Halswell
Junction interchange is ready to
take traffic, estimated to be in
late 2019, and is to allow the NZ
Transport Agency to improve
the safety and alignment of the
Christchurch Southern Corridor.
The CSM2 project is making Main
South Road (SH1,) from near
Rolleston to Robinsons Rd four
lane, and building a new section of
motorway through greenfields to
connect with the first stage of the
Christchurch Southern Motorway
at Halswell Junction Road.
The project will mean that
residents and businesses in the
Selwyn District (such as the Izone
industrial park, and Rolleston)
will have improved access to the
Christchurch CBD, key employment
centres and Lyttelton Port.
It is expected to reduce fatal and
serious crashes by 40 per cent
and significantly reduce travel time
between Rolleston and Christchurch.
The project will also provide
better access in and out of
Christchurch and this will in turn
improve the economic well-being
of the Canterbury region and the
wider South Island, NZTA says.
The project will also include a
cycle/pedestrian-shared path
linking the Christchurch Southern
Motorway Stage 1 cycle/pedestrian
shared path with the existing
Little River Rail Trail.
Traffic moving onto the new section
of motorway will reduce the
number of vehicles on Main South
Rd through Templeton and on
other local roads making it safer
for communities, including cyclists
and pedestrians around the communities
of Templeton, Hornby
and Prebbleton.
Costing $195 million, the project
is designed by Aecom and is being
constructed by the Downer Mc-
Connell Dowell Joint Venture.

DOES LITTLE WRONG
Price – Kia Rio Limited, $26,990
Dimensions – Length, 4065mm; width, 1725mm; height, 1450mm
Configuration – Four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive, 1368cc, 74kW, 133Nm, six-speed automatic
Performance – 0-100km/h, 11.5sec
Fuel usage – 6.2l/100km
BY ROSS KIDDIE
You know the new car market is undergoing substantial change
when it’s likely New Zealand Police officers will be seen driving
South Korean-built cars.
I’m not saying that is a good or a bad thing, but the reality is
that Kia has supplied some of its very desirable Stinger to law
enforcement. The reason being is that the Stinger is a large,
powerful, rear-wheel-drive sedan which will complement
Holden’s Commodore, so long a part of our police operation.
As we all know, production of the Australian-built Commodore
has ended, the new car to wear that nameplate is sourced
from Europe. It’s fair to say the new Commodore will also be
contracted by the police, but it’s good to see other brands also
fitting into the equation.
From what I’ve heard, the Stinger is a pretty smart piece
of kit in both four-cylinder and V6 form; I’ll have to reserve
judgement on it until I get to drive it, but in the interim, a car
from the bottom end of the Kia stable is the subject of this
evaluation – the Rio.
I first drove the entry-level manual and I related to its easyto-drive
nature, value and quality build. This evaluation focuses
on the range-topping Limited and, as opposed to the manual
variant, the Limited is available only as an automatic, a fourspeeder.
The engine is the same, the 1.4-litre unit is rated at 74kW and
133Nm, both realistic outputs for its displacement. It’s a freerevving
engine which is quiet and responsive, but it does work
hard against the limitation of just four gears, there’s a couple
of points in the engine’s delivery where it takes time to find its
breath, working against the tall gearing.
That’s no surprise, the reason why we have gearboxes with far
more ratios is to alleviate those gaps, but in fairness, the Rio’s
driveline does a fairly good job in most circumstances. It also
has the benefit of healthy fuel usage statistics. Kia also claims
a 6.2-litre per 100km/h (45mpg) combined cycle average for
the automatic Rio, which sits well with the 7.6l/100km (37mpg)
figure constantly showing on the dash panel readout, along
with a 5l/100km (56mpg) instantaneous figure cruising the
100km/h legal limit (engine speed 2500rpm).
Together, all of these figures combine to produce reasonable
performance and great economy. In terms of acceleration,
the Rio automatic will cut out a standstill to 100km/h time of
11.2sec and will complete an overtaking manoeuvre (80km/h-
100km/h) in 7sec.
The Rio cruises the highway quietly and has a smooth,
comfortable ride. The spring and damper rates are set quite
soft and that can be felt in a corner, there is noticeable body
movement. More so in the rear where the limitations of a tube
beam axle are apparent, there is little rear-wheel freedom.
Up front it’s a different story, the steering is pin-sharp and
has perfect feel, there is a lot of feedback through high-quality
Continental tyres (205/45 x 17in). Their profile leans towards a
sporty feel and that is something I particularly like.
The Rio in this form also gets a sequential shifting device at the
main gearshift lever, it’s useful for downshifting when entering
a corner and for the odd time when a shift away from the
normal shifting pattern is required.
At $26,990 the Rio range-topper is reasonable value, it gets
a fair hunk of the kit as you’d expect from a car that wears
a Limited badge. Sadly, the leather-trimmed seats don’t get
heaters, which is most uninviting on a cold Christchurch
morning, but there are other inclusions that add to the value
aspect such as satellite navigation that appears through a
large central screen, it is also home to the infotainment and
communication systems.
Personally, I’d be opting for the entry-level Rio, it’s available in
both manual or automatic forms. It doesn’t miss out on much,
and in manual form the six gears allow the engine to work
more akin to its power outputs. At $22,490 and $23,490 the
LX also represents an easy passage into the brand. Take into
account there’s also an EX model at $25,490.
What Kia has served to prove in recent years is that it is a
progressive company not short on introducing interesting and
popular models throughout its global markets, all landing with
a relatively realistic pricing structure.
While I’m looking forward to a drive in the Stinger soon, it
must be remembered that it’s bread and butter cars such as
the Rio which steady the brand here, it’s a desirable, downto-earth
hatchback that does little wrong and pleases with its
styling and ability to put the driver at ease.

EXPANDED
SPACE & NEW
STAFF
AT HORNBY TRAVEL
BUSINESS
It’s exciting times at House of Travel Hornby with their expansion
into the adjacent premises previously occupied by Café
Carmen.
“The café, which had sublet from us, has moved across to the
GAS Station just on the other side of the road,” House of
Travel Hornby owner Paula Waldeck says, “so we are pushing
through the wall to make our offices bigger.”
This has also seen the House of Travel Hornby team expand
to seven, with new consultants Maddie Bhingarkar and Brittany
Sergeant coming on board.
“We’ve come a long way from three and a half years ago when
we started out with just three staff. It’s very exciting for us,”
Paula says.
There has also been a big start to the travel year for House of
Travel Hornby customers, with people travelling all over the
world, and cruising proving particularly popular.
“Cruising allows people to go to new and interesting locations,
for example Kirsty Stewart, one of our staff members, has just
been on a cruise through the South China Sea including the
Southern Japanese islands,” Paula says.
“We can book cruises to destinations that, which would be
hard for people to get to otherwise.”
While the South Pacific remains the most popular area for
cruises, the Mediterranean, and places in Northern Europe like
Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic States provide other exciting
options, with passengers able to visit many hard-to-reach
places on the one trip, Paula says.
Flying from New Zealand has never been cheaper, she says,
with some great deals available to many destinations including
Europe, USA, Asia and Africa.
“We can customise itineraries to suit every traveller. This might
include a guided journey around a particular region or hiring a
car and getting out and exploring on your own.
“Flying to the South Pacific for a short mid-winter break is always
a popular choice with Cantabrians, especially with winter
getting closer. We now have direct flights from Christchurch
to Fiji and Rarotonga, making it even quicker and easier to get
there.
“At House of Travel Hornby, we can design holidays to suit all
types of travellers, budgets and preferences. The best holidays
really are created together,” Paula says.
House of Travel Hornby is located at 40 Carmen Road, with
easy parking right outside the door, so call in soon and start
planning your next overseas holiday with one of their friendly
and knowledgeable consultants.

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.”
