THE CITY council has<br />
purchased a property<br />
neighbouring the St Albans<br />
Community Centre rebuild site.<br />
The owners of the property<br />
at 130 Caledonian Rd, Thriza<br />
and Philip Bean, objected to the<br />
centre’s resource consent in July,<br />
United States to attend Space<br />
Camp, as part of their science,<br />

math learning.<br />
It will be the first time a group<br />
from the school has travelled to<br />
saying the facility would increase<br />
the activity, traffic, noise and<br />
demand for car parks in the area,<br />
as well as a loss of privacy.<br />
The property borders on the<br />
Colombo St site of the planned<br />
community centre.<br />

Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
said the option to purchase the<br />

Selwyn House teacher Simon<br />
Christie believes the opportunity<br />
is not one to miss.<br />
He got an email about<br />
property was considered four to<br />
five years ago, when planning<br />
began. But as a house was on the<br />
property, it was too problematic.<br />
Due to earthquake damage, the<br />
house was demolished. However,<br />
a building that remained has<br />
since been removed and the site<br />
is now vacant.<br />
“It’s important to note that the<br />

school and a group of all boys.<br />

why do we have to wait until<br />
high school for these girls to get<br />
section was not bought in any<br />
way to stop or influence anything,”<br />
said Ms Jones.<br />
The community board has<br />
requested $350,000 from the city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan for the<br />
rebuild project.<br />
“In order to purchase the section,<br />
money was used from the<br />
budget for the community centre,<br />
these opportunities to be presented<br />
to them and why do we<br />
usually give them to just boys?<br />
So we asked who would be interested<br />
and pretty much everyone<br />
was.” •Turn to page 4<br />
Council buys land next to St Albans centre site<br />

IT’S A win for small businesses on Cranford St.<br />
Those located north of McFaddens Rd will not lose their onstreet<br />
parking to cycleways.<br />
City council informed businesses and residents last year of<br />
new plans which would see cycleways replace on-street parking<br />
as part of the Northern Arterial development.<br />
However, business owners fought tooth and nail in the consultation<br />
process, and now the city council has listened.<br />
Small World Preschool and Nursery owner Keith Wayman<br />
said it is good news, as he once feared his business may have to<br />
shut its doors if its on-street parking was lost.<br />
The backing of Fletcher Construction, which owns Cranford<br />
St businesses PlaceMakers and Mico Plumbing, may have played<br />
some role in the decision.<br />

Cranford St businesses won’t lose parks<br />
Relief as<br />
plan for<br />
cycleway<br />
amended<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
CRANFORD ST businesses<br />
owners are relieved the city<br />
council will not remove their<br />
on-street parking as part of the<br />
Northern Arterial plans.<br />
The city council indicated<br />
last year cycleways could take<br />
up on-street parking on a small<br />
stretch of Cranford St north of<br />
McFaddens Rd.<br />
But the design will no longer<br />
go ahead after the city council<br />
said consultation with businesses<br />
saw the plans amended.<br />
Small World Preschool and<br />
Nursery owner Keith Wayman<br />
feared they would have to shut<br />
their doors if designs went<br />
ahead.<br />
But now he is relieved.<br />
“What we are hearing is good<br />
news, we are pleased . . . and very<br />
comfortable with where we are<br />
at.”<br />
RESULT: Small businesses owners Andrew Norton and Sue and Keith Wayman are pleased<br />
city council has decided to change the plan for Cranford St which would have seen their<br />
on-street parking lost to cycleways.<br />

Small World Preschool was<br />
supported by construction<br />
firm Fletcher Building, which<br />
owns PlaceMakers and Mico<br />
Plumbing on Cranford St, in its<br />
battle against the plans.<br />
However, Mr Wayman said<br />
the issue is still “a little up in the<br />
air” as the plans are only drafts<br />
at this stage and there are still<br />
“processes to work through”,<br />
which involves consultation<br />
with residents. City council<br />
manager planning and delivery<br />
transport Lynette Ellis said: “The<br />
Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />
Alliance amended the design<br />
plans to include parking for this<br />
section of Cranford St.”<br />
Ms Ellis said the plans will be<br />
discussed further with affected<br />
businesses and residents soon<br />
and then a report will go to city<br />
council for approval.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
OUR “EYE’ VET…..<br />
Its not often I write about my husband,<br />
Steve Heap, but I must say I’m often<br />
very proud of the work he does at our<br />
Practice, and how he is always looking<br />
ahead to grow, improve and provide the<br />
best workplace for our staff. Steve has a<br />
keen interest in all things involving “eyes”<br />
but he’s also very competent at dental<br />
surgery too. Patients come far and wide<br />
to see Steve for his expert advice on eyes<br />
and compassionate, friendly service. He<br />
sees a myriad of animals,<br />
ranging from very expensive<br />
thoroughbreds and alpacas,<br />
to lions and kiwis at Orana<br />
park and then all domestic<br />
animals inbetween.<br />
Steve decided to study<br />
Ophthalmology while<br />
we were in the UK in our<br />
20’s on a working/holiday<br />
and it is one of the best<br />
specialities Steve could<br />
have chosen. Not only does<br />
Steve really enjoy eyes, but<br />
it has helped to grow our<br />
business and stand it apart from others.<br />
There are currently only 3 or 4 vets seeing<br />
ophthalmology referrals in NZL.<br />
Most days Steve has 3-6 Ophthalmology<br />
surgeries. He actually gets excited at the<br />
prospect of returning an eye to normal<br />
function and pain free.<br />
A few days ago was one of those “jubilant”<br />
moments. In waltzed a very friendly 8<br />
year old Labrador called “Arnie”. Arnie was<br />
referred to Steve with a persistent infected<br />
discharge coming from his Left eye that<br />
he had for 8 months. Eight months ago he<br />
had an ulcer in the same eye which initially<br />
cleared up, but quickly became constantly<br />
infected, weepy, red and sore. He had been<br />
on every eye ointment possible with no<br />
real results. The owners claimed they were<br />
cleaning the eye out 5 times a day. The<br />
purulent discharge seemed to be coming<br />
from the lower<br />
tear ducts.<br />
Steve suspected<br />
a foreign<br />
body so he<br />
recommended<br />
anaesthetizing<br />
Arnie and<br />
taking a closer<br />
look.<br />
Sure enough<br />
Steve removed<br />
a large barley<br />
grass awn from<br />
the left tear<br />
duct by cutting<br />
down into the duct. It had probably been<br />
sitting there for the past 8 months causing a<br />
chronic persistent eye infection. Steve is sure<br />
Arnie will make a full recovery with no need<br />
for eye drops. As a surgeon moments like<br />
these are hugely rewarding because straight<br />
away Steve has made a big difference to<br />

Arnies quality of life….and his<br />
owners.<br />
Clients and vets alike speak<br />
highly of Steve. His sole<br />
purpose is to solve problems<br />
quickly and professionally,<br />
with skill and expertise and he<br />
is great at explaining things<br />
clearly and simply, so clients<br />
really “get” what his plan is for<br />
their pet. Clients apparently<br />
love his scribbley little eye<br />
diagrams they leave with, diagrammatically<br />
describing the surgical procedure. I recently<br />
attended a veterinary meeting and felt<br />
very proud at all the accolades my fellow<br />
colleagues spoke about my husband. Steve<br />
is one of the very few vets around who<br />
freely, 24/7 gives ophthalmology advice to<br />
any vet in the country free of charge. He just<br />
enjoys sharing his knowledge to benefit all<br />
animals in need.<br />
We are currently in the throes of building<br />
a large, modern addition to adjoin our<br />
current premises in Hoon Hay. We are very<br />
excited about what this will mean for us<br />
and our patients in the future. We hope<br />
to be seen as a referral centre, with more<br />
specialists vets coming on board, as well<br />
as a first opinion clinic. We have very loyal,<br />
committed clients who often recommend<br />
us to others. We want to improve our level<br />
of knowledge and expertise and provide<br />
better care by creating<br />
separate dog and cat<br />
treatment , consult and<br />
waiting areas. We are<br />
constantly looking ahead<br />
to the future and trying<br />
to set ourselves up to<br />
stand alone, offering<br />
outstanding care, service<br />
and communication in an<br />
ever increasing corporate<br />
veterinary world, one<br />
in which we will never<br />
become part of.<br />
Steve and I are living<br />
the dream. What could<br />
be better than surrounding ourselves with<br />
animals all day, solving problems using our<br />
skill and expertise, making people smile<br />
again and saving animals lives. It just doesn’t<br />
get much better than that.<br />

At the camp, the girls<br />
will learn about space<br />
in a variety of ways,<br />
including simulations, and<br />
exploration and discovery<br />
activities.<br />
“They have simulations<br />
for space shuttles and<br />
Mars-bases . . . and the<br />
girls will get to take part<br />
wards.”<br />
The ‘Big Belly’ smart<br />
bins, distributed by Auckland<br />
company Manco<br />
Environmental Ltd, are<br />
fitted with sensors that<br />
can detect when the bins<br />
are nearing capacity<br />
and send an alert to<br />
maintenance contractors<br />
that they<br />
need emptying.<br />
Cr Keown said<br />
because all the<br />
information is<br />
recorded, it will<br />
highlight the areas<br />
which need more<br />
bins.<br />
The solar-powered<br />
bins are wind,<br />
fire and pest-proof and are<br />
currently being trialled at<br />
the New Brighton Seaside<br />
Playground.<br />
“It just makes sense.<br />
These things have been<br />
in ‘space-based’ missions<br />
on earth and learn about<br />
all the science that would<br />
go into those. It will be an<br />
immersive experience,”<br />
said Mr Christie.<br />
Teacher Liz Fairhall<br />
said the girls will also get<br />
the opportunity to meet<br />
female role models in the<br />
field.<br />
invented by a (NZ) company,<br />
we should be supporting<br />
them,” he said.<br />
Bishopdale Park is one<br />
of the “problem areas”<br />
which could benefit from<br />
the bins, Cr Keown said.<br />
“It is one of our destination<br />
parks. People go out<br />
of their way to go there.”<br />
Leacroft St resident<br />
Graham Adams said<br />
earlier this year he was<br />
frustrated at the frequency<br />
of bin emptying at the<br />
park.<br />
He said he had contacted<br />
the city council several<br />
times via telephone, email<br />
and its Snap Send Solve<br />
app to report overflowing<br />
bins in the park.<br />

idea with the Fendalton-<br />

Edgeware village plans shelved<br />
Businesses<br />
feared more<br />
disruption<br />
PLANS TO close off the<br />
Edgeware Rd end of Colombo<br />
St and form a shared space have<br />
been abandoned in the shortterm.<br />
Instead some cost-effective<br />
minor changes to improve<br />

The<br />

Board and<br />
city council<br />
Ali Jones<br />
staff have<br />
recommended<br />
the project be<br />
deferred until others in the area<br />
are completed.<br />
Earlier this year, city council<br />
and the community board<br />
held a workshop with local<br />
businesses and residents to<br />
discuss design and layout ideas<br />
for the village.<br />

end of Colombo St so it could be<br />
used as a shared space to make<br />

the area more people-friendly<br />
and easily closed for markets and<br />
events.<br />
However, community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones said<br />
there were concerns about the<br />
impact of the proposal on village<br />
businesses.<br />
“The area has already suffered<br />
considerable disruption from<br />
roadway and drainage work and<br />
from the construction of the<br />
Papanui Parallel cycleway,’’ she<br />
said.<br />
“We are also conscious of the<br />
fact there are several projects due<br />
for completion in the coming<br />
years that may change the way<br />
people use the area, such as the<br />
Edgeware Pool development and<br />
the new St Albans Community<br />
Centre.”<br />
St Albans Pharmacy owner<br />
and Edgeware Business<br />
Association chairman, Malcolm<br />
Pearce, did not back the plan<br />
and is relieved to hear it won’t be<br />
going ahead.<br />
“The businesses here didn’t<br />
think it was a good idea to<br />
restrict access to the village and,<br />
given all the disruption we have<br />
had over the past few years, it’s<br />
not good timing. It’s best to<br />
put it on hold and look at other<br />
mutually beneficial beautification<br />
projects.”<br />
FreshChoice Edgeware owner<br />
Stephen Anderson is also pleased<br />
with the outcome.<br />
“I think we can achieve a<br />
similar result in a different way.”<br />
“They (city council) obviously<br />
have listened to us, taken that on<br />
board, which is very good. We<br />
have had some major disruption<br />
here . . . we would like to get back<br />
to normality.”<br />
Ms Jones said the board<br />
has asked the project team to<br />
come up with ideas for costeffective<br />
minor streetscape<br />
improvements which could<br />
enhance the area and be<br />
completed with minimal impact<br />
on the businesses.<br />
“This again is in response to<br />
feedback from those consulted,’’<br />
said Ms Jones.<br />

If the extra funding isn’t<br />
granted, Ms Jones said the<br />
board, along with city council<br />
staff, will have to look at ways to<br />
save money.<br />
“Whether that is in the building<br />
materials, a re-design or<br />
whatever. We will need to find<br />
ways to save money elsewhere<br />
in the project.”<br />
The community board will<br />
now wait to see if the funding<br />
is included in the LTP before<br />
deciding what to do next.<br />
Mr Rendall said there is still<br />
an exception to the centre,<br />
which will be considered by a<br />
commissioner when the application<br />
goes to a hearing.<br />
“The commissioner will<br />
determine if any changes to the<br />
current proposal is required.”<br />

Mairehau counsellor’s books<br />
help children worldwide<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A COUNSELLOR from<br />
Mairehau Primary School is<br />
attempting to improve the lives<br />
of people involved in child<br />
trafficking by creating and<br />
selling her own books.<br />
Sue Dickson created Books For<br />
Hope in 2016 after writing her<br />
first book in<br />
2015.<br />
Since<br />
then, she<br />
has written<br />
four books,<br />
donated<br />
money to<br />
several<br />
overseas<br />
Sue Dickson<br />
charities and<br />
received a<br />
message from the Pope.<br />
“I am really passionate about<br />
children and I wanted to be able<br />
to give to charities which help<br />
children who are less fortunate,<br />
especially those who are<br />
involved with things like child<br />
trafficking,” she said. The books,<br />
titled Wisdom, Inner Peace, The<br />
Little Prayer Book and Power of<br />
the Heart, support New Zealand<br />
based non-profit organisations,<br />
Tent Peg Missions, Hagar New<br />
Zealand, LIFT International and<br />
Tearfund’s work combatting<br />
human trafficking and<br />
exploitation.<br />
“Each book that I’ve written,<br />
50 per cent of the profits go to<br />
charity and each book has a<br />
different charity.”<br />
So far she has raised more<br />
than $600. Tent Peg Missions<br />
helps children in Uganda, and<br />
the money Ms Dickson has<br />
raised has gone towards supplies<br />
at a school for children with<br />
disabilities. Hagar New Zealand<br />
works to rehabilitate children<br />
who have been rescued from<br />
child trafficking.<br />
Ms Dickson is currently<br />
writing two more books to add to<br />
her collection which are sold on<br />
her website and on Amazon.<br />
She hopes to complete two<br />
GOOD<br />
CAUSE:<br />
The profits<br />
from Sue<br />
Dickson’s<br />
books,<br />
including<br />
Wisdom,<br />
are used to<br />
raise money<br />
for New<br />
Zealand<br />
charities<br />
which help<br />
children<br />
overseas.<br />
children’s books next year as<br />
well, and her 10-year plan is to<br />
build schools overseas.<br />
“That’s the goal. Hopefully I<br />
can sell enough books,” she said.<br />
Ms Dickson sent a copy of one<br />
of her books to Pope Francis and<br />
received a thank you letter.<br />
“His holiness Pope Francis<br />
was pleased to receive the gift<br />
which was kindly sent to him.<br />
He appreciates the devoted<br />
sentiments which prompted this<br />
thoughtful presentation,” the<br />
letter read. Ms Dickson said it<br />
was a “very exciting and special<br />
moment” in her life.<br />

VOLUNTEERING IS now<br />
second nature for Edgeware’s<br />
Margaret Cone who has clocked<br />
up 10 years of service at the<br />
Community Energy Action<br />
curtain bank.<br />
Back in 20<strong>08</strong>, Miss Cone got<br />
involved with the organisation<br />
through a friend and has never<br />
looked back.<br />
Initially the curtain bank was<br />
for sick babies and the elderly,<br />
and this appealed to Miss Cone<br />
who liked helping the groups.<br />
The afternoon shift also fits in<br />
with her lifestyle.<br />
Miss Cone appeared on<br />
TVNZ’s Good Sorts programme<br />
in 2016 and volunteers her time<br />
to other charities, such as Red<br />
Cross’ Meals on Wheels, Driving<br />
for the Blind and Multiple Sclerosis<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The idea of recycling and reusing<br />
things as well as the social<br />
contact with people is what has<br />
kept Miss Cone coming back.<br />
“It’s a healthy thing for the<br />
body, as it involves quite a lot of<br />
fitness.”<br />
The work requires folding,<br />
bagging and stacking the heavy<br />
curtains.<br />
The curtain Bank has been<br />
operating for more 23 years and<br />
provides free, recycled curtains<br />

Bid to get<br />
funding for<br />
a Belfast<br />
library in LTP<br />
BELFAST MAY get it’s own<br />
library and service centre if the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board gets its way.<br />
The community board has<br />
requested $150,000 to progress<br />
the project in the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028.<br />
The project was deferred in<br />
the 2015-2025 LTP and was<br />
completely removed from the<br />
draft <strong>2018</strong>-2028 LTP.<br />
“The board requests this<br />
project is reinstated urgently<br />
for the year 2019-2020,” said<br />
community board deputy chairwoman<br />
Emma Norrish at a LTP<br />
submission hearing last week.<br />
“We note a huge population<br />
growth in the north of Christchurch<br />
and the need for city<br />
council staff to identify suitable<br />
sites for potential community<br />
facilities.”<br />
Belfast is now home to about<br />
7600 residents – and this number<br />
is predicted to double by<br />
2041 to about 15,000. The board<br />
hopes city council will explore<br />
partnership opportunities and<br />
notes that there a new school is<br />
planned for Belfast.<br />
Langdon connection to Papanui<br />
Papanui Heritage<br />
Group chairman Murray<br />
Williams writes about the<br />
development of Langdons<br />
Rd which is the second part<br />
of last month’s column<br />
THOMAS LANGDON died in<br />
1904 and, at this time, the blind<br />
street named after him was little<br />
more than a sleepy rural track<br />
flanked by a few houses.<br />
However, over the next 115<br />
years Langdons Rd has been<br />
notable for continually changing<br />
land use patterns.<br />
In 1911, a group of enterprising<br />
citizens purchased a block of<br />
land on Langdons Rd between<br />
North Rd and Restell St. The<br />
Papanui bowling, tennis and<br />
croquet club was formed and it<br />
prevailed until the late 1960s on<br />
a site now dominated by retail<br />
outlets.<br />
In 1926, the Education Department<br />
acquired 6.2ha of agricultural<br />
land fronting on Langdons<br />
Rd alongside the northern<br />
railway. However, it took the<br />
government another 10 years<br />
to approve, plan and complete<br />
the school first known as the<br />
Papanui branch of the Christchurch<br />
Technical College.<br />
In 1953, the school became Papanui<br />
High School to acknowledge<br />
its change to a modern<br />
multi-course high school.<br />
In 1948, the American Firestone<br />
Tire and Rubber Company<br />
purchased and developed a block<br />
of orcharding land to the northwest<br />
of the railway and eventually<br />
became Papanui’s largest<br />
employer.<br />
On the opposite side of the<br />
street, Sanitarium, with an even<br />
longer history in the area, was<br />
also a major employer, although<br />
it is now undergoing a phased<br />
withdrawal from Papanui.<br />
Currently, the former Firestone<br />
site is undergoing a further<br />
change in land use, as some of<br />
the industrial buildings have<br />
been demolished to allow for the<br />
development of the Northfield<br />
Business Park, which includes<br />
new facilities for a range of<br />
enterprises, such as a pre-school,<br />
a gym and the Trade Union<br />
Centre.<br />
Prior to this in 2001, further<br />
to the north, Langstone Lane<br />
was developed as a site for warehouses.<br />
However, the northern end of<br />
Langdons Rd is still dominated<br />
by residential properties, many<br />
of which were built as part of an<br />
extensive government housing<br />
project in the early and mid-<br />
1950s.<br />
Other forms of land use included<br />
the development of a corner<br />
site on the Main North Rd by<br />
the local branch of the RSA.<br />
After World War 1, surplus<br />
army buildings were combined<br />
into one structure and in the<br />
mid-1940s a new art deco façade<br />

view of the original<br />
buildings has since<br />
been obscured<br />
by subsequent<br />
development.<br />

was added as part of a general<br />
refurbishment. Eventually this<br />
building was demolished and,<br />
since 1995, the Westpac Bank<br />
has occupied the site.<br />
The Papanui Library and<br />
Community Service Centre<br />
on the corner of Restell St was<br />
established in 1995. However, the<br />
dominant feature of the southern<br />
end of Langdons Road is the<br />
Northlands Shopping Centre. Its<br />
growth continues today with the<br />
provision of further restaurant<br />
and bar facilities, a development<br />
which is to be named Langdons<br />
Quarter, a further connection to<br />
Thomas Langdon and the street<br />
to which he gave his name.<br />

Men<br />
“The question of the power of men has been very topical<br />
in the past year with changes in political leadership,<br />
#MeToo and other associated movements. In images<br />
used in the media of significant male politicians or male<br />
professional leaders these men more often than not<br />
wear a suit albeit maybe without a tie these days. The<br />
suits these men wear convey power. Do these men wear<br />
suits because they are a symbol of power? Do corporate<br />
woman feel they have to emulate men in the way they<br />
dress to achieve power? Why in fact is there such a<br />
historical difference in the clothes of men and woman?<br />
Do men have an advantage in society because there<br />
exists this type of uniform that gives them an unspoken<br />
air of authority that there is not something equivalent of<br />
for woman?<br />
The history of menswear suits, over-coats, trousers,<br />
shirts and ties can be traced back several centuries<br />
and remain very traditional and recognisable in the 21st<br />
century. The shape of the lapel, the size of the tie, the<br />
quality of the material and the way they are produced<br />
may have changed but the form and its associations are<br />
immediately identifiable. Sombre colours of greys and<br />
black suits still dominate. These suits are trans-seasonal.<br />
It is a code of dress that is universally recognisable. By its<br />
continued widespread use it isn’t likely to change. These<br />
suits are not necessarily worn for comfort so are they<br />
still in such dominant use because of the symbols they<br />
convey?<br />
Here seventy men are dressed in traditional suits then<br />
they deviate playing with shape and form, eccentricity,<br />
personality and individualism also drawing at times on<br />
more feminine influences of colour and pattern. It is an<br />
unresolved exploration of menswear and its implications<br />
in contemporary society.” Gill Hay.<br />

in the early 1980s and has been exhibiting widely in New<br />
Zealand and overseas for the past 20 years. She lives in<br />

Call for community facility grows<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Joanna Gould<br />
is pushing<br />
for a new<br />
community<br />
facility at 10<br />
Shirley Rd and<br />
puts forward<br />
some of her<br />
ideas for the site<br />
I ATTENDED an antenatal class<br />
at the Shirley Community Centre<br />
11 years ago and have been a<br />
local Shirley resident for the past<br />
10 years.<br />
I have a passion for research,<br />
learning and community spaces.<br />
The former Shirley Community<br />
Centre at 10 Shirley Rd was<br />
an iconic focal point of our<br />
community since 1915. It was<br />
originally Shirley Primary<br />
School, and later on our Shirley<br />
Community Centre, a place<br />
for cultural, educational and<br />
recreational activities.<br />
It was seriously damaged in the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
and was demolished in 2012.<br />
Since the earthquakes, our<br />
community has been struggling<br />
DAMAGED: The former Shirley Community Centre site before it<br />
was demolished in 2012.<br />
to get our homes repaired and<br />
rebuilt. Two primary schools<br />
have closed, our roads are still<br />
damaged, there are detours and<br />
closures in place, and sucker<br />
trucks run throughout the night<br />
due to sewer system failures<br />
when it rains.<br />
The Dudley Creek flood remediation<br />
is overdue by a year, and<br />
the ‘temporary depot/storage<br />
yard’ sites at 10 Shirley Rd and<br />
40 Guild St are having a negative<br />
impact on residents lives.<br />
Recently we learnt that the new<br />
QE II campus, built to relocate<br />
Avonside Girls’ and Shirley<br />
Boys’ High Schools, may change<br />
‘our school’ zones, which will<br />
deny our children access to ‘our<br />
schools’.<br />
And now, after years of waiting<br />
for the rebuild to start for<br />
our community centre, we have<br />
been dealt another blow. We find<br />
out that the funding granted<br />
by the city council has not been<br />
included in the draft Long Term<br />
Plan.<br />
The 10 Shirley Rd site is a constant<br />
visual reminder to me, and<br />
the locals/road users of Shirley<br />
Rd, that our community has been<br />
left behind; we haven’t rebuilt<br />
from the earthquakes.<br />
What message are we sending<br />
to the children at Shirley Primary<br />
School and the children from<br />
other schools that travel past this<br />
area?<br />
That it’s okay to treat your<br />
community spaces like this?<br />
Do our children matter to the<br />
city council? Are they not future<br />
Christchurch ratepayers?<br />
Our community’s health is at<br />
stake. We can not wait 10 years.<br />
We need our community centre<br />
rebuilt now.<br />
My suggestion is to combine<br />
city council resources with funding<br />
and donations to create a new<br />
Shirley Library, service centre,<br />
learning space and playground,<br />
with the existing Shirley Playcentre.<br />
That would lift up our community<br />
and give us a meeting<br />
place for all cultural, educational<br />
and recreational activities.<br />
I created the website<br />
www.10shirleyroad.org.nz to collate<br />
my research and ideas for my<br />
submission to the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan. Feel free to take<br />
a look<br />
Readers respond to a story<br />
about the Main North Rd speed<br />
limit potentially being lowered<br />
Heather Wilkins – Commonsense<br />
needs to prevail. In places like where<br />
it’s motorway, it should<br />
be 80km/h or 100km/h.<br />
50km/h or 60km/h is<br />
good, but the problem is<br />
if you make it 60km/h,<br />
cars will do 70km/h. I<br />
have seen it on Carmen<br />
Rd from Main South<br />
Rd. Down Carmen Rd,<br />
they do 60km/h when<br />
it’s 50km/h. Past the<br />
Carmen and Buchanans<br />
Rds intersection it’s<br />
60km/h but people do 70km/h if not<br />
faster.<br />
Scotty Ogilvie – It should be<br />
60km/h . . . most Christchurch locals<br />
drive at 60km/h everywhere.<br />
Sarah Spencer Smith – I’m<br />
confused, isn’t this a motorway?<br />
Rob E Wilton – 55km/h, directly<br />
the middle number.<br />
Neil Hawker – Very<br />
rarely do you ever get<br />
to 60km/h, most of the<br />
time people do 50km/h<br />
in 60km/h areas. So, if<br />
reduced to 50km/h, you<br />
will end up doing 40km/h<br />
and simply add to the<br />
normal frustrations of<br />
driving in Christchurch,<br />
and still you will get the<br />
normal incompetent<br />
drivers crashing as<br />
usual. Just leave it as is, I can’t see<br />
any advantage to once again catering<br />
for stupid drivers at the expense and<br />
frustration of the normal ones. But I<br />
guess it’s going to happen anyway, so<br />
waste of time even complaining.<br />
UNCLEAR: Part of Main North Rd could have its speed limit dropped to 50km/h.<br />

SPORTS<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School<br />
have suffered an opening<br />
round defeat in the UC<br />
Championship, losing 27-34 to<br />
Christ’s College.<br />
Hosting one of the competition<br />
powerhouses on Saturday, Shirley<br />
Boys led 24-20 midway through<br />
the second half.<br />
However, the tides quickly<br />
turned when they conceded a<br />
penalty try and were reduced to 14<br />
men after intentionally<br />
sending the ball dead in their<br />
own in goal area. Shirley captain<br />
Mitchell Barry, who scored a<br />
first half try and went five from<br />
including an effort from<br />
halfway, then levelled the scores<br />
27-27 after a penalty<br />
conversion with just over<br />
10min remaining.<br />
In the dying stages of the<br />
game Shirley found themselves<br />
camped in their own 22, fighting<br />
to fend off constant pressure from<br />
Christ’s.<br />
The visitors power up front<br />
proved too much in the end<br />
though as they bundled their way<br />
over the line to steal victory on<br />
the final whistle.<br />
On Saturday Shirley travel<br />

Big influence for young Rams<br />
star and Papanui High old boy<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
FORMER PAPANUI High<br />
School star Taylor Britt needs<br />
to look no further for a spark<br />
than his Rams coach and mentor<br />
Mark Dickel.<br />
The 21-year-old will play his<br />
first full season for the NBL<br />
franchise having been part of<br />
their development programme<br />
in 2015. His first game saw him<br />
contributes six points, three<br />
rebounds and two steals as<br />
the Rams downed the Super<br />
City Rangers 100-95 at Cowles<br />
Stadium.<br />
The 1.89m guard shares the<br />
same court position as his coach<br />
did for his illustrious career.<br />
Britt said Dickel had been<br />
a major influence in his<br />
development so far.<br />
“Mark has worked with me<br />
for the past four years and has<br />
been a key part in moulding me<br />
into the player I am and want to<br />
become,” he said.<br />
Britt said he felt more equipped<br />
to handle the physical NBL-style<br />
after his American stint.<br />
He started 58 of his 62 games<br />
for Southeast Community<br />
College in Nebraska.<br />
“The games were faster,<br />
the American guys were big<br />
and use their bodies a lot,” Britt<br />
said.<br />

Rams.<br />

Britt was known as a guard<br />
who liked to attack the rim to try<br />
to create space for his teammates<br />
to shoot.<br />
He hoped to continue to<br />
learn from Dickel and imports<br />
Winston Shepard and Xavier<br />
Thames in the hopes of securing<br />
an Australian NBL development<br />
contract.<br />

Rangi director of rowing Mark<br />
Cotham said it has been an<br />
intense season.<br />
“Being part of the under-18<br />
South Island team has been a<br />
wonderful experience for the<br />
girls. The campaign aims to<br />
work as a stepping stone to high<br />
performance pathways through<br />
to New Zealand rowing,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Cotham was one of our<br />
coaches selected to attend the<br />
regatta.<br />
The South Island were<br />
the ultimate winners of the<br />
two-day competition, winning<br />

A gut feeling<br />
Digestive health is becoming increasingly important<br />
for improving our overall wellbeing. As there is a<br />
distinct connection between our tummy and our<br />
moods, immunity and even our behaviours, it pays<br />
to follow your gut if you feel out of sorts with these<br />
nutritional enhancer<br />
Dietary fibre is made up of three<br />
types and each play a different role<br />
throughout the digestive tract. it’s often<br />
a case of balancing them all and not only<br />
supplementing with just one. to ensure<br />
you get enough fibre in your diet: women<br />
should aim for 25 grams to 30 grams<br />
and men 30 grams to 38 grams each day.<br />
Soluble fibre are found in oats, psyllium,<br />
vegetables, fruits with their skin on and<br />
supplements like Metamucil. insoluble<br />
fibre can be found in wheat bran pasta<br />
and quinoa. resistant starch is contained<br />
in cold cooked pasta, potatoes and firm,<br />
fresh bananas.<br />
Probiotics and prebiotic foods can<br />
help keep the correct pH balance(acidity<br />
to alkalinity) in our intestines. These<br />
‘good’ bacteria assist with breaking down<br />
fibre in the bowel and produce healthy<br />
stool movements. Probiotics can be<br />
found in supplements, cultured yoghurt,<br />
kombucha drinks and fermented<br />
vegetables. Prebiotic foods are Jerusalem<br />
artichokes and raw garlic, leeks and<br />
onions.<br />
Poor gut health could be caused by,<br />
but not limited to, high stress levels,<br />
caffeine, smoking or inadequate water<br />
consumption. if you suffer from<br />
prolonged periods of reflux, constipation,<br />
diarrhoea or cramping and nausea, seek<br />
medical advice. your doctor may help<br />
identify possible intolerances or allergies.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
Premium Prebbleton<br />
10 Farthing Drive, Prebbleton<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 4 off-street parks | Listing #FM5413<br />
In a world of sameness, the cream always<br />
rises to the top, and this extraordinary home<br />
is no exception.<br />
Upon entry, the scale and space is<br />
immediately apparent. Built with deliberate<br />
specifications, defined around the ultimate in<br />
family living and freedom, there is no doubt<br />
this property is one of a kind in Prebbleton.<br />
The living area, with huge proportions,<br />
sets the tone for the rest of the house. Full<br />
length windows with sliding doors extend<br />
the already massive living outside into a<br />
generous paved patio, and back yard. High<br />
ceilings amplify the space, which leads to an<br />
entertainer’s dream of a kitchen, complete<br />
with engineered stone benchtops, belling<br />
stove, and a big scullery and pantry set off<br />
the main kitchen. Sleek modern design<br />
complements the other living features,<br />
including remote controlled blinds, speaker<br />
system, and TV above the large gas fireplace.<br />
With four bedrooms, options abound for<br />
either family, work from home or guests.<br />
All bedrooms have ample storage, with the<br />
master boasting a king-size walk in robe and<br />
beautifully appointed ensuite with double<br />
shower. A sliding door from the master to a<br />
private spa tops off the experience that awaits.<br />
The yard has been designed to maximise<br />
lawn and living, and planted to allow for<br />
privacy. Vege patches are an added extra for<br />
those with green thumbs.<br />
Heating is more than covered with two<br />
heat pumps to complement the gas fire, and<br />
under tile heating gives the added touch of<br />
luxury. Double glazing throughout ensures<br />
that the home retains its heat with minimal<br />
input required.<br />
The double garage has been designed with<br />
added space either size, allowing for extra<br />
storage, and even has a large wardrobe set in<br />
to cleverly utilise space. The laundry is a great<br />
size, once again with added storage outside of<br />
the main thoroughfares in the house which<br />
cleverly creates cleaner lines and less clutter.<br />
Only a short walk into the Prebbleton<br />
Village, and short drive to the motorway<br />
into the city, this location is popular for very<br />
good reason. Schools and childcare nearby<br />
also give great options for families, and the<br />
neighbourhood is very quiet and family<br />
oriented.<br />
