Schools join 

fight to 

improve 

safety 

at busy 

intersection 


BREENS Intermediate School 

principal Nikki Clarke dreads the 

day she gets a phone call saying one 

of her pupils has been hurt at the 

contentious Harewood, Gardiners 

and Breens Rd intersection. 

“I believe it’s only a matter of time 

before someone is injured or worse 

. . . it will be so terribly sad when we 

know we could have been pro-active 

and done something to make it 

safer,” said Mrs Clarke during a city 

council Long Term Plan 2018-2028 

submission last week. 

Mrs Clarke represented one of 

two schools which submitted on the 

intersection, joining the fight with 

city councillor Aaron Keown to get 

the intersection upgraded to lights. 

Cr Keown has been lobbying to 

have the intersection upgraded for 

more than two years, and said he 

has been contacted about it more 

than any other issue over his 10 

years of being elected. 

Breens Intermediate is 350m 

from the intersection, which 

sees 10 lanes converging, and Mrs 

Clarke said more than a third of 

pupils pass through it to get to 

school.

from the reporter’s desk 

THE DRUM is beating to see an upgrade of the Breens, 

Harewood and Gardiners Rd intersection. 

Emotional submissions were made by schools at the Long 

Term Plan 2018-2028 hearings last week (see page 1). 

Children spoke about their fears when crossing the 

intersection, which sees 10 lanes converging. 

The issue affects many groups which are all pushing for lights 

to be installed. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel doesn’t believe lights are the answer, 

though, saying they could make the intersection busier and, as a 

result, more dangerous. 

But one eight-year-old told city councillors last week – “we 

need lights before someone gets killed, not after.” 

Let’s hope funding is granted so changes can be made.

Row over historic St Albans villa settled 

• By Kurt Bayer 

A LEGAL row over the 

potentially multimillion-dollar 

repair bill to a quake-damaged 

historic St Albans villa has now 

been settled. 

The debate over costs to repair 

Elizabeth Drayton’s beloved 

category one-listed property 

reached the High Court last 

week after nearly six years of 

wrangling. 

Drayton 

claimed her 

insurer, IAG New 

Zealand, the 

parent company 

of State, offered 

Elizabeth 

Drayton 

a strategy to 

repair the badly 

damaged house 

with a fixed quote 

of $1.84 million. 

However, she said reviews of 

the repair strategy, which took 

into account associated costs, 

put the rebuild at $3.1 million. 

However, the dispute was 

settled after the first day of the 

hearing. 

Ms Drayton refused to 

comment about the settlement. 

She became emotional 

in court last Tuesday when 

describing how the heritage 

property was devastated in 

the September 4, 2010, and 

February 22, 2011, quakes. The 

double-brick villa was built in 

1899 by master builders and 

bricklayers, brothers Harry and 

Philip Soanes, as a luxury show 

home to exhibit their high-level 

workmanship. 

Ms Drayton fell in love with 

the house, with its Kauri floors 

and doors, Victorian veranda, 

Marseille roof tiles, stained 

glass, arches and detailed brick 

corbels, after returning from 

London where she had renovated 

three Victorian properties. 

She bought the property in 

2004 and moved in soon after, 

naming it “Soanes House” 

and sculpting award-winning 

gardens. With her father being 

a founding member of the 

New Zealand Historic Places 

Trust, now known as Heritage 

New Zealand, Drayton told the 

court she had a “strong sense 

of responsibility to its heritage” 

and carried out $250,000 in 

renovations from 2007-2009, 

including strengthening its roof. 

But when the magnitude 7.1 

earthquake struck in 2010, the 

villa suffered extensive interior 

and exterior damage. 

The Boxing Day, 2010, 

aftershock caused more cracking 

before the deadly 2011 jolt 

smashed it even more. 

HISTORY: 

Elizabeth 

Drayton’s 

beloved 

category one 

listed property 

was devastated 

in the quakes. 

PHOTO: 

HISTORIC 

PLACES TRUST 

In 2015, a quantity surveyor 

assessed the repairs to be $1.5 

million, the court heard. 

An original peer review 

put the repair costs at $1.9 

million before escalating to $2.6 

million. 

But Ms Drayton says in May 

last year, IAG came up with a 

new strategy for repair with a 

fixed quote of $1.8 million. 

She ordered a review of the 

strategy by the original quantity 

surveyor who took into account 

associated costs that Ms Drayton 

says were not considered by IAG, 

which spiralled the repair bill to 

$3.1 million. - NZ Herald

BUS LANE PARKING 

The city council is currently 

reviewing options to address 

the feedback it received about 

bus lanes and car parking on 

Main North Rd. A city council 

spokeswoman said there were a 

lot of comments about parking 

options for Harewood Rd and 

right-turn access into and out 

of Grassmere St. It will look 

at options to address these 

issues white meeting safety 

standards, and present these to 

the Papanui-Innes Community

Edgeware Pool worth the cost 

On the 

back of the 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board’s request 

for $5 million 

from the city 

council to 

build the Edgeware Pool, 

member Jo Byrne clears 

up any confusion over the 

funding bid 

THERE ARE tough decisions 

to be made by city councillors 

currently working through the 

LTP. This includes trying to keep 

rates at a manageable level for 

all, while balancing this with 

community desires for facilities 

and services. 

I would like the public to know 

that the request for money for the 

Edgeware Pool Group actually 

came from the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board not the pool 

group. 

There has been some 

misinformation about this in the 

media recently. 

We believe that this model is 

excellent – this is an outstanding 

community group working 

hard to replace a much-loved 

and needed community facility. 

This pool won’t have ongoing 

operating expenses, unlike the 

extravagant pools and leisure 

centres planned elsewhere in the 

city. 

The budget for this pool is $5 

million. For this we get a larger 

summer pool, and a smaller 

covered learners’ pool to provide 

year-round lessons for those 

learning to swim. 

We could build four of these 

modest facilities across the city 

for the price of the one planned 

in Linwood, or the one in 

Hornby. We are a city in recovery 

PLANS: The new designs for the Edgeware Pool include an 

indoor learners’ area and heated outdoor pool. 

and we need to be building more 

simple facilities initially and add 

to them as we can. 

Swimming pools are extremely 

important to an island nation 

such as ours. We need our 

children and young people to be 

able to swim and be safe in the 

water that is all around us. We 

need community pools to do 

this. 

The Ministry of Education has 

reduced access to pools through 

school pool closures – often the 

schools still with pools are more 

affluent. 

We can’t turn into a country 

where only people who can 

afford to learn to swim do so. 

PHOTO: APOLLO DESIGN 

We need to make swimming 

accessible and affordable for all 

and a pool in Edgeware is a great 

step in this process. Every time 

we talk to communities and 

they tell us what they want – the 

children say a pool. 

Children don’t get to vote 

but should have a voice. I urge 

everyone to support the new pool 

at Edgeware. 

Come along to the Edgeware 

Pool Group’s next quiz night at 

Bailies Bar on Colombo St to 

support its fundraising. 

This group is not sitting round 

waiting for a handout, but I truly 

hope the city gives them a hand 

up.

Schools join 

intersection battle 

•From page 1 

Breens pupil Anna Scullion also 

attended the hearing and read 

out comments from other pupils 

about the issue. 

“I have to run for dear life so I 

don’t get hit by cars coming off 

Gardiners Rd,” said one. 

Harewood School principal 

Julie Greenwood said the safety 

of her pupils and their families 

needs to be prioritised. 

“A number of families in this 

area have indicated to us that 

they find the intersection a real 

barrier for sending children to 

our school,” she said, during her 

submission. 

Two pupils, Jacob Bates, 10, 

and Frances Pickrill-Kay, 8, also 

spoke. 

“Some people say they won’t 

put lights there until someone is 

killed, but won’t that be too late? 

We need lights before someone 

gets killed, not after.” said 

Frances. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel agreed 

that something needs to be done, 

however, she said traffic lights 

may not be the answer. 

“We have heard from people 

living in the Fendalton area, where 

the installation of traffic lights 

has actually had a worse affect, it’s 

made it more popular for traffic to 

use . . . all I’m saying is that there 

may be other ways of solving the 

problem.”




Dealing with door-knocking peddlers 

Get your 

‘do not knock’ 

sticker 

BRYNDWR RESIDENTS could 

receive more education about 

their rights when it comes to 

door-to-door sales reps and 

mobile truck shops. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board deputy 

chairman Aaron Campbell said 

Bryndwr and Linwood are two 

suburbs being targeted by these 

groups which can be hard to 

turn down. 

“When you get door-knocked 

by these door-to-door sales 

people, some of them can be 

difficult to say no to . . . I talk to 

people and they get stressed by it 

basically.” 

Mr Campbell is working with 

city council staff to create Welcome 

to Bryndwr packs which 

will contain ‘do not knock’ 

stickers and information about 

consumer rights. 

“This will give people good 

information about what their 

rights are when that happens.” 

The packs will be similar to 

others in the city, which have 

information about local community 

groups, programmes and 

activities, including the Citizens 

Advice Bureau, Neighbourhood 

Support and Tenants’ Protection 

Association. 

Mr Campbell hopes they could 

be distributed to people living 

in social housing units, such as 

those managed by the Otautahi 

Housing Trust and Housing NZ. 

They may also be distributed 

through community groups to 

other members of the community, 

particularly people who are 

older or living alone. 

Mr Campbell said the stickers 

are well-known in the industry 

and have been around for a 

while. 

“People may know about 

them but might not be sure 

where to get them . . . this will 

hopefully be a disincentive for 

those sales people to knock on 

the doors.” 

He would like the Government 

DETERRENT: 

Aaron 

Campbell 

wants 

to make 

information 

about 

consumer 

rights more 

accessible 

for residents 

in Bryndwr 

who may 

be targeted 

by doorknockers 

and 

mobile sales 

trucks. 

to “take bolder steps” to ensure 

door-knockers and mobile truck 

shops are operating within 

the law, and would like to see 

a review of the Public Places 

Bylaw to ensure it is clear where 

these businesses are permitted to 

operate. 

If the packs are well-received, 

Mr Campbell would like to see 

the information distributed citywide.

Organisation 

receives 

boost from 

engineering firm 


THE CANTERBURY Down 

Syndrome Association has 

received a boost of $12,420 from 

structural engineering firm 

Constructure. 

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, 

Constructure launched a 

Givealittle page in April, inviting 

its customers to donate to a good 

cause as an ‘unorthodox birthday 

present.’ 

The firm donated $10,000 and 

it’s clients donated $2420. 

Constructure founder Cory 

Bedford said he was excited that 

his clients got into the spirit. 

“I really want to thank all our 

customers for their generosity 

that will make a big difference 

for a small local charity like the 

CDSA.” 

The CDSA provides support, 

education, and advocacy to its 

members, their families and 

wider community. 

Said CDCA chairwoman Diane 

Mulholland: “We are just overwhelmed 

and grateful that this 

amazing gift got even bigger.” 

The $10,000 gift was not chosen 

randomly but symbolises the 

target of 10,000 projects the 

Constructure team wanted to 

complete by the anniversary date.




‘All Blacks of singing’ 

win 11th national 

Sweet Adelines title 

WINNING IS now second

time. 

The group has finished first 

in every national barbershop 

competition it has entered since 

forming in 1987, and has been 

referred to as the “All Blacks of 

singing.” 

Singing under the direction 

of musical director Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor, the team is 

made up of 130 women, mainly 

from Christchurch. 

In the competition held earlier 

this month, contestants were 

assessed by four international

Said Ms Humphrey-Taylor: 

“The judges were excited to see 

a performance of such a high

singing and the high energy field 

that was delivered was thoroughly 

enjoyed.” 

As the national champion, 

the group will represent New

Camera to nab Bealey Ave red light-runners

through software, which detects 

red light-running incidents. 

Police and the city council 

are investigating enforcement 

CAUGHT: A camera to catch red light-runners is being installed 

at the intersection of Bealey Ave and Madras St. 

options, Mr Pinner said. But it 

would be run on the same 

model as cameras currently 

used in Wellington and 

Auckland, he said. 

“Council will be informing 

motorists about red light camera 

enforcement, and signage will be 

part of that information.” 

He said the city council has 

launched the campaign to reduce 

numbers, as crashes at signalised 

intersections are a “really 

significant” road safety problem 

in the city. 

“Traffic signal crashes are close 

to a quarter of all crashes in the 

city, with a social cost of about 

$27 million per year. 

“Red light-running is a part 

of the problem and needs to be 

addressed,’’ Mr Pinner said. 

Acting road policing manager 

Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen said 

red light-running incidents were 

too high. 

“More drivers than we would 

like enter intersections on orange 

lights. These often change to 

red while the driver is still in 

the intersection, creating an 

unnecessary road safety risk,” she 

said. 

It comes with the release of a 

report from traffic engineering 

consultants ViaStrada – 

Factors influencing red light 

running - a Christchurch 

investigation – which said the 

proportion of red light-running 

crashes in Christchurch is 

“very high” compared with other 

cities. 

“Red light-running crashes 

account for approximately 35 

per cent of all injury crashes 

at signalised intersections in 

Christchurch . . . this proportion

“It’s historically been a real 

issue . . . and it is an issue that

and ViaStrada senior traffic 

engineer and transport planner 

Glen Koorey said. 

He said there were a “number 

of factors” that lead drivers to 

run red lights, including attitude, 

the type of intersection, visibility 

and driver distraction. 

“There’s a mix of things 

that might work to reduce the 

numbers,” Dr Koorey said.

said.

Former Rangi students 

take top scholarships 

•From page 1 

Isabella was the only student from 

the South Island to receive the premier 

scholarship award. 

The award is valued at $10,000 and is 

only given to 10 people throughout New 

Zealand. 

She was also the only student in the 

country to receive ‘top subject scholar’ 

awards in two subjects – art history and 

music. 

Charlotte also received a scholarship 

for ‘outstanding performance’, which 

is one below the premier scholarship 

award, in printmaking, as well as another 

scholarship for painting. 

The prestigious New Zealand Scholarship 

awards offer financial rewards for 

those going onto full-time tertiary study.

for the scholarships last year across 35

TE ORA Hou Otautahi is set to 

begin a building project at its 

Papanui base on the site of two 

historic colleges using prefabs 

from Canterbury University. 

Four prefab buildings 

have been purchased for the 

Windermere Rd site, where 

the youth and community 

organisation has been based 

since 2002. 

There is also a chapel on 

the site which was built in the 

1930s. It will remain and be 

renovated. The “historical” site 

was once home to two schools 

– Loreto College, 1930-1978, 

and Koinonia Christian School, 

1981-2000. 

General manager Jono 

Campbell hopes the relocation 

more scholarships. Rangi Ruru assistant 

principal – curriculum Juliet Collins 

described the results as well-deserved 

and inspirational. 

“We are delighted with the outcomes 

for the girls. The scholarship examinations 

test high-level, critical thinking in 

addition to specific subject knowledge, 

and it is important to recognise and 

reward this combination of attributes.” 

The gift of a children’s story book from 

Isabella to Ms Ardern was well-received.

former Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

student, Isabella Gregory, gave 

Jacinda Ardern a book of her 

favourite fairy tales for when her 

baby is born. 

of the prefabs early next year 

will meet the community’s 

needs, particularly those of 

young people and families in the 

area. Te Ora Hou Otautahi has 

operated in the city’s north-west 

for more than 30 years, helping 

predominately Maori and 

Pasifika youth and families. 

“We are currently in a 

feasibility process and engaging 

with the community about what 

they want,” Mr Campbell 

said. 

“We have grown a lot 

over the years. We can 

use this to meet our own 

staff and community 

needs. We have more 

than 30 staff on site . . 

. we particularly want 

to create a space for our 

young people . . . and we 

also want the new developments 

to reflect the Maori history in 

Papanui,” he said. 

The group also hopes to build 

an administration block and a 

multi-use space which can be 

used by the community.

Cobb & Co 

coming to 

Cranford St 


FAMILY RESTAURANT Cobb & 

Co is set to return to Christchurch 

later this year. 

The New Zealand-owned 

‘western-saloon-style’ restaurant 

is expected to open at 484 Cranford 

St before Christmas. 

Cobb & Co managing director 

Ben Gower said the 200-seat 

restaurant and children’s play area 

will have a “hybrid” of “old Cobb 

favourites and some new stuff” on 

its menu. 

“The menu will have lots of 

items customers will remember 

– our Cobb schnitzel, shrimp 

cocktails and traffic light drinks,” 

said Mr Gower. 

“We are excited to have a presence 

back in Christchurch. We 

know from previous openings in 

the last four years that our restaurants 

have been popular additions 

to the hospitality scene.” 

At its peak, Cobb & Co had 37 

restaurants across the country. 

In 2016, the company announced 

plans to establish as many as 

30 new restaurants around 

the country. The chain opened 

in 1973, with its trademark red saloon 

style doors. Mr Gower said 

there isn’t any plans to open a 

second restaurant just yet.

DIANA ISAAC Retirement 

Village residents have won 

the battle of the buses after 

Environment Canterbury bent 

over backwards to include them 

on a new route. 

About 80 pensioners living in 

the retirement village on Philpotts 

Rd, Mairehau, presented 

a petition to ECan, pleading for 

it to reconsider route changes to 

the Orbiter bus which would see 

their closest bus stop move 900m 

away from the village. 

ECan originally proposed 

cutting its bus route outside 

the village and moving it 1km 

away to Innes Rd. But, during a 

packed meeting in the village on 

Friday, ECan staff presented a 

new route. 

ECan chairman Steve Lowndes 

said he hoped residents liked 

what had been planned. 

“I told you (at the protest) we 

would bend over backwards to 

find a solution to suit you.” 

The new proposal will see the 

No 44 Shirley bus connect close 

to the village, and a new stop 

will be provided 150m from the 

entrance. 

The bus will run every half 

hour, with extended hours for 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village 

staff working until 9pm. 

THE OLDEST member of St 

Barnabas Church’s Association 

of Anglican Women in 

Fendalton is turning 100. 

Beryl Newman’s birthday is 

tomorrow, and she celebrated 

with the group recently during 

a special afternoon tea. 

Before her retirement, 

Mrs Newman was a teacher 

at several country schools

More girls needed for 

new under-16 grade 

• By Zahra Shahtahmasebi 

CHRISTCHURCH’S new 

under-16 girls rugby grade has 

only just enough players to 

field three teams for a 10-a-side 

competition. 

The grade, which was set up after 

the Canterbury Rugby Football 

Union ruled last 

year that girls must 

be 16-years-old to 

play in the women’s 

competition, needs a 

dramatic increase in 

numbers to be able 

to offer a 15-a-side 

competition. 

CRFU chief 

executive Nathan 

Godfrey said the 

grade aimed to support 

the growth of women’s rugby 

by creating a safe and inclusive 

environment for girls to have fun. 

But under-16s grade manager 

Tamara Toaolamai said the CRFU 

was paying lip-service to the idea, 

as not a lot of thought has been 

put into the development of the 

grade. 

She said the CRFU had put the 

responsibility for recruiting more 

players on parents and coaches 

like Toaolamai. 

“I’m a teacher and a mum of 

four – I don’t have the time to go 

around and promote a grade, and 

it’s actually not my job.” 

A new women’s and school girls’ 

Tamara and Naia 

Toaolamai-Holden 

rugby development officer has 

been appointed by the CRFU, but 

it is unclear if they have had any 

active involvement with promoting 

the grade. 

Toaolamai’s daughter and High 

School Old Boys’ top try scorer 

from last season Naia Toaolamai- 

Holden, 15, has been forced to 

watch her former team 

from the side-line following 

the CRFU’s new 

age rule. 

She said the women’s 

grade had been a great 

environment for her 

as it provided opportunities 

to learn from 

experienced players 

like former Black Fern 

Amiria Rule. She is one 

of the oldest and most 

experienced players in the new 

under-16s grade. 

Burnside women’s assistant 

coach Claude Smith said the grade 

needed to be focused on providing 

quality competition, resources and 

supportive coaches to help grow 

the game for both experienced 

and new players. 

Ash Brett, 14, has played rugby 

for 10 years, and was disappointed 

to be missing out on the chance to 

develop her game in the women’s 

grade. “I don’t think age matters 

as much as experience does – if 

you have played rugby for a number 

of years at a high standard, age 

shouldn’t matter.” 

US cricket team lures opener 

SPORTS 

• By Jacob Page 

DAVID WAKEFIELD grew 

up wanting to play cricket for 

Canterbury but now has the 

chance to push for playing 

time with his place of birth, the 

United States. 

The 23-year-old Old Boys 

Collegians opener was born in 

Charlotte, North Carolina, before 

his family returned to live 

in Christchurch when he was a 

toddler. 

The past two seasons he has 

been the second top run-scorer 

in Christchurch club cricket 

and cracked the Canterbury 

A team where he made 90 on 

debut against Auckland A. 

Last week, the former 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

standout travelled to Fort Lauderdale, 

Florida, to try to make 

the US team. 

Wakefield said his rapid 

form progression could be put 

down to him “backing himself” 

and enhancing his skills with 

overseas stints in Adelaide and 

Hampshire, United Kingdom, 

over the past three or four 

seasons. 

Wakefield worked on his 

technique while at the Darren 

Lehmann Academy in Adelaide. 

“Over there made me work 

RUN MACHINE: David Wakefield is keeping his dream of 

playing cricket for Canterbury alive while also chasing a 

national call-up for the United States team. 

on my technique and value my 

wicket. Conditions are very 

batter-friendly and it made me 

work on my pre-ball routines 

and the process that goes into 

scoring runs.” 

Wakefield said playing in 

the Southern Premier League 

in Hampshire saw him play 

against a high standard of players, 

including Australian international 

Travis Head and fellow 

Cantabrian Logan van Beek. 

He said juggling the desire 

to one day play for Canterbury 

with the new opportunity to 

play for the US would be something 

he continued to ponder. 

“I’ve grown up all my life 

Serviced apartment, resthome and hospital 

open afternoon 


wanting to play for Canterbury 

but this opportunity is very 

exciting.” Wakefield scored 

two half centuries in three 

selection games for the team 

last week. 

A 30-man squad will be 

named for a June training camp 

in Houston. 

Wakefield said the prospect 

of playing in the US team in the 

West Indies domestic competition 

is appealing, plus playing 

for promotion from the ICC tier 

three championship to tier two 

is enticing. 

For now he has to juggle his 

cricket ambitions with his law 

and commerce degree. 

Wednesday 23 May, 

1.30pm – 4.00pm 

We are delighted to offer you, your friends and 

family an opportunity for a special tour of our 

serviced apartments, resthome and hospital.

Moulai on track to world champs 


MIDDLE-DISTANCE runner 

Nick Moulai has run himself 

into a promising future. 

The 18-year-old former St 

Bede’s College student is on 

the cusp of running for New 

Zealand in the 1500m at the 

junior world championships 

in Finland, and will then take 

up a four-year scholarship at 

Mississippi State University in 

the United States. 

Moulai has made the 

qualifying time for Finland but 

so have Isaiah Priddey, Samule 

Tanner and Theo Quax, son of 

former middle-distance great, 

Dick Quax. 

With only two places up 

for grabs, Moulai will have to 

earn his spot with fast times 

in a couple of prelude races in 

Europe. 

“There’s a lot of quality 

runners at the moment, which is 

exciting, but I just have to focus 

on my preparation and hope that 

goes well.” 

“Life is pretty busy but it’s 

about managing my time, my 

training on the roads, and my 

rest and recovery,” Moulai said. 

The former surf lifesaver and 

sprinter came to middle-distance 

running six years ago, and 

has been coached by Graeme 

Christey ever since. 

Their partnership will end 

when Moulai takes up his 

scholarship in the US. 

The talented teen recently went

has a bright future ahead of him. PHOTO ALAN MCDONALD 

for a training run with Kiwi 

Olympic silver medallist Nick 

Willis, who took time to share 

some advice, 

“Nick said every runner is 

working hard and putting the 

training in, but it’s more about 

the little two per cent things 

you do that can turn you from a 

good runner to a great runner,” 

Moulai said. 

“Things like getting nine hours 

of sleep, doing your stretches, 

and prioritising recovery all 

make a big difference.” 

Moulai said he was eager 

to test himself in the US at an 

NCAA division one school. 

“The quality of runners over 

there is incredible,” he said. 

“There are 10 guys running 

between 3min 36sec and 3min 

44sec so it’ll be great to be 

around that culture.”

Burnside High golfer to take on world’s best 

• By Gordon Findlater 

BURNSIDE High’s Juliana 

Hung will tee off with the New 

Zealand team at the junior 

golf World Cup in Japan next 

month. 

Hung (Russley) will join 

Tom Parker (Christchurch) 

and Hiroki Miya (Russley) 

in the seven-strong team, 

alongside Aucklanders 

Carmen Lim and Rose Zheng, 

Kevin Koong from North 

Harbour and Shaun Campbell 

from Bay of Plenty. 

The selection comes on 

the back of what has been 

a remarkably successful 

12 months for the three 

Canterbury golfers. 

Hung will look to continue 

a strong run of results in New 

Zealand and abroad when 

she represents the girls team. 

The New Zealand stroke play 

champion represented her 

country last week at the Queen 

Sirikit Cup – Asia-Pacific 

amateur ladies golf team 

championship in Thailand. 

It will be Parker’s second 

time competing in the 

tournament. Last year he 

finished 24th overall and 

helped the New Zealand boys 

team to finish sixth. 

“It’s my favourite event I’ve 

ever played in,” said Parker. 

“The course layout is 

awesome. It’s perfectly 

SWING: Juliana Hung (right) will join Tom Parker and Hiroki Miya in the New Zealand team 

to tee off at the junior golf World Cup in Japan next month. 

manicured, narrow with either 

tree trouble or out-of-bounds 

either side so you’ve got to hit it 

straight.” 

After finishing his final year 

at Christchurch Boys’ High 

School in 2017, Parker has 

been able to concentrate on his 

game before beginning college 

at the University of Oregon 

in the United States. With a 

strong support unit around 

him, he’s confident of a good 

result in Japan. 

“I feel like going back 

there this time I have extra 

confidence. . . . I’ve been there 

before and will be doing a few 

things differently this time 

around,” said Parker. 

He will be joined in the four 

strong boys team by Miya, who 

is having a year to remember 

after the biggest win of his 

young golfing career at the 

Faldo Series Asia grand final in 

Vietnam in March. 

“I’m really excited. I think 

we have a really strong team 

and have an opportunity to do 

really well,” said Miya. 

The junior golf World Cup 

will feature 15 men’s and nine 

women’s teams. 

The tournament runs from 

June 10-15 at the Chukyo Golf 

Club Ishino course. 

Having three Christchurch 

golfers named in the team is 

a rare accomplishment and a 

strong sign of a talented young 

crop of golfers emerging in the 

region. 

“We are very proud of the 

achievement to have Juliana, 

Tom and Hiroki selected 

to represent New Zealand 

at the junior World Cup 

event, it’s quite a remarkable 

achievement,” said Canterbury 

Golf development manager 

Rachel Thow. 

“These players have worked 

hard to earn their selection 

in this team and will gain 

valuable international 

experience amongst some of 

the best junior players in the 

world.”

curriculum designed for active and exciting 

play. 

With 10 spaces in their nursery, and 23

Selwyn House School offers a world-class education 

with a talented teaching staff and small class sizes 

which are set within a future-focused, nurturing environment. 

An extensive range of educational, sporting and 

cultural opportunities are offered for girls in Years 1 - 8. 

A supportive all-girl learning environment 

encourages girls to take risks without 

fear of failure and develops their love of 

learning. They become confident, compassionate, 

articulate and determined young 

women who have the values, skills, and 

attributes needed to not only achieve their 

goals but to make a difference in their 

communities. Our teachers ensure girls 

are inspired and committed to learning as 

they develop their unique way of learning 

and achieving. The focus across Years 1 - 

8 is on the growth of the developing girl 

encompassing intellectual, social, physical, 

emotional, and cultural needs. 

Selwyn House is committed to providing 

a continuum of international education. 

The combination of the International 

Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme 

(PYP) and our future-focused STEAM and 

Mechatronics curriculum ensures girls are 

equipped to face a continually changing 

world with confidence and enthusiasm. 

We focus on instilling strong foundations 

which can be successfully built upon. 

Core learning in reading, writing and 

mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes 

in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership, 

Mechatronics, Music, Performing 

Arts, Physical Education, Science, Spanish 

and Swimming play key roles to further 

enhancing learning. 

Selwyn House provides each girl with a 

personalised learning experience. Each 

classroom and specialist teacher has the 

time to a foster meaningful relationships 

with each student. Due to our comprehensive 

learning environment, our girls are 

highly skilled, stand out among their peers 

and are prepared for a successful transition 

to secondary school. 

Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is 

apparent in all aspects of the school. In our 

modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding 

House, girls are supported by dedicated 

staff and tutors. Girls from across 

New Zealand and internationally fondly 

call the Boarding House, their ‘home away 

from home’ and easily form a sisterhood 

with others.

Ultimate campus taking shape 

at QEII Park 

Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for 

Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools is progressing 

rapidly with opening on track for next year. 

Sue and John. 

The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre 

with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey 

turf, four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café, 

and a large library and learning centre. 

Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley 

Boys’ High School Headmaster John Laurenson are 

excited by the progress. 

“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that 

will peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel 

framing is up and the concrete slabs are down and we 

can see now just how big this campus will be – it’s simply 

wonderful,” says John Laurenson. 

“You can finally see all that we have been talking about 

and dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with 

our students, staff and community making the most of all 

of the fantastic new facilities before we know it.” 

The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will 

be the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single 

sex schools will be co-located. 

John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the 

schools to offer students more. 

“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to 

build bigger and better facilities.” 

Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better 

educational opportunities. 

“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects, 

so we can offer students wider choice and there’s also 

the opportunity to work together on co-curricular 

opportunities – such as productions, sports competitions 

and the like.” 

Both principals are keen to point out that the colocation 

is not a merger. 

“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll 

work together, but both schools will retain their own 

culture, identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed 

school,” says John Laurenson. 

“Research shows that single sex education benefits 

both boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform 

better academically and girls participate more. This new 

campus, has been designed so that students will still 

spend most of their time in a single sex environment.” 

Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the 

east of Christchurch will be proud of. 

“We’ll be right alongside the new QE2 Sport and 

Recreation Centre, the School of Gymnastics and have a 

satellite unit for Ferndale School onsite. It’s going to be a 

great place to learn.” 

AVONSIDE GIRLS’ 

HIGH SCHOOL 

OPEN EVENING 

Thursday 24 May 2018 from 5.00pm – 7.00pm 

The evening begins in the gymnasium at 5.00pm, with an 

address from the Principal Mrs Sue Hume, and student 

representatives. A tour of the school follows, with the 

opportunity to talk to teachers and students. 

We look forward to welcoming all prospective students and 

families for 2019.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 


Headache & Migraine 

can be treated 

Scm 

The crosses are the area of the 

muscle spasms (triggerpoints). 

The red areas is where the 

pain is felt. 

Temporalis 

muscle 

Neck muscle that causes headaches, earaches and facial pain. 

Most headaches and migraines are 

caused by an accumulation of 

factors. Factors like the condition 

of your spine, neck, jaw and face muscles, 

but also posture, breathing pattern and 

your ability to manage stress. Once the 

threshold is reached, you will suffer a 

headache. Research shows in most cases, 

the neck plays a significant role (Dwyer 

et al. 1990). Migraine sufferers who react 

well to migraine medication have excellent 

results when treated for neck dysfunction 

(Pavese et al. 1994). 

Our physiotherapists have extensive 

experience in treating headaches and 

can quickly determine what treatment is 

needed. This often leads to a significant 

decrease in both the intensity and 

frequency of your headaches. 

As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk 

explains, when our muscles tighten this 

can refer pain to many of the areas around 

the face and head. Dehydration can be the 

catalyst for tightening the neck muscle 

(SCM), which causes pain in the ear, 

forehead and around the eye and jaw-joint 

areas. Tightening of the temporalis muscle 

can refer pain to the teeth, which can be 

confusing when you visit the dentist to 

have it checked and the dentist can’t find a 

reason for the recurring pain. 

Teeth grinding at night and teeth 

clenching during the day are also a major 

cause of muscle tightening. 

Physiotherapy treatment for these 

problems is based on deactivating the 

‘trigger points’ through hands-on massage 

therapy to relax the muscles, which is the 

least invasive and a very effective form 

of treatment. Dry needling is another 

technique used for muscle relaxation, and 

can be used with the client’s consent, Ietje 

says. 

Immediate relief is achieved by releasing 

your tight muscles. At the same time we 

work on the cause of the problem. For 

example, a “feedback” headband can be 

provided to be worn at night to help you 

The muscle that causes headaches and toothaches. 

learn not to clench your teeth while asleep. 

Sometimes we need to work on the neck 

part of your spine, where overuse or stress 

can cause muscles to tighten, creating pain:’ 

Teaching self-management of stress can 

also be an important aspect of the total

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Supporting Your 

Bowel & Digestive 

Function Helps 

Prevent Disease 

It is most important to keep the whole 

digestive & elimination systems of the 

body working efficiently. Otherwise toxins 

that have not been eliminated set the stage 

for disease. Many diseases have been linked 

with micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial 

component. Generally these microorganisms 

or bacteria can only survive 

due to the fact that the environment they 

are in is suitable for their survival. Non 

eliminated toxins are probably one of the 

main causative factors for their survival. 

We know that when the digestive system 

& bowel function are poor we have many 

more health problems. These include 

arthritis, digestive problems like reflux & 

stomach pain, bladder infections, chronic 

skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis & 

rashes, poor eyesight, pain & inflammation, 

tumors & a weakened immune system just 

to name a few. 

Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a 

highly effective blend of natural herbs to 

support the whole digestive system & it is 

especially effective at cleansing the lower 

bowel & intestinal tract. It is commonly 

used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea, 

digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds & 

influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, skin 

conditions like eczema & psoriasis, urinary 

infections, liver dysfunction, Candida, 

weakened immune function & for people 

who want to keep their health as good as 

possible. 

The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the 

production of digestive fluids & bile for 

efficient digestion. This alone may help 

prevent many diseases as a properly working 

digestive system will itself neutralise many 

disease causing organisms before they 

have a chance to cause any problems. LBS 

II also stimulates peristaltic action of the 

colon effectively cleansing the colon of any 

accumulated build-ups of waste material. It 

also relaxes abdominal cramping & spasms, 

enhances liver function, purifies the blood, 

neutralizes acidic conditions, helps destroy 

intestinal parasites & worms, & fights 

infection. 

Keeping your digestive system & bowels 

functioning efficiently is definitely & 

important step in obtaining & maintaining 

good long term health.

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults 

& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. 

Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most 

deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest 

scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration & 

brain performance. Another study showed that older people with 

higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains & 

score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet 

another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation 

slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive 

function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health, 

regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, & 

prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor 

that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can 

also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a 

34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+ 

who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk 

of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s 

ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system 

becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs 

further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin 

sublingual tablets that are 

dissolved in the 

mouth & thru 

bypassing the 

digestive tract have 

been shown to 

effectively raise B12 

levels in the body.

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide what 

is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is 

key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every 

situation varies and it is therefore important 

to get professional advice from heat pump 

experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always the 

best option. It is vital that the indoor unit is 

positioned in a place that will not be constantly 

blowing on you. Also important, is the location 

of the outdoor unit. Most people do not want 

their outdoor unit sitting directly in their 

outdoor entertaining area or right outside their 

bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary 

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems 

and price, so it depends on your application as 

to which will be most suitable. Major brands 

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, 

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands 

backed up by good technical after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but also 

validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home 

to see what is required.

Get rid of 

dampness 

in your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm and 

healthy for their families throughout winter. 

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of 

our older properties which suffer from poor, or 

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake, 

many people have relocated to homes 

that suffer from rising damp which can be 

associated with health problems. Independent 

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can 

rise from the ground and enter a house every 

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation 

and musty smells. Moulds can produce 

various allergic reactions and the 

frail, elderly and very young are 

especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

is a locally owned and operated 

firm. The team understands the 

problems caused by rising damp 

and are there to help. They will 

come to your damp home and 

pump a lightweight, flowable 

foam concrete under your 

timber floored home. Specially 


adapted for our New Zealand conditions and 

applications it provides a layer of protection 

against rising moisture. An unexpected 

benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam 

Concrete have noticed recently, is that many 

owners of properties which had underfloor 

foam concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or

HOME & HEATING 

Fresh air 

in your home 

All houses require air exchange in order 

to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live 

in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air 

quality is important for the health of the 

occupants. Houses can have many sources of 

contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens, 

pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening 

the windows can refresh the air, but is not 

always an option for security reasons and can 

also lead to heat energy being lost to outside. 

Although older houses have small gaps 

around windows and doors, you want to be 

able to control the flow of air. You don’t want 

air coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and 

pushing the soiled air around the house. It 

is better to expel the air out of kitchens and 

bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in 

from the rest of the house to replace the air that 

has been removed. 

Modern houses are very airtight and 

theoretically require a source of incoming air 

to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to 

work optimally. Ventilation systems should be 

low air velocity and low air pressure so as not 

to cause draughts. 

There are two main types of ventilation 

system: Positive pressure and Balanced 

pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the 

Dry-Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into 

the house, which then percolates through the 

rooms, pushing the damper stale air out. 

Balanced pressure systems bring in a 

similar amount of air to the amount they 

exhaust. Balanced pressure systems with 

Heat Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the 

heat of the outgoing air to warm the incoming 

air from outside. These are the most energy 

efficient systems available, as they recover up 

to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than 

losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just 

as well cooling incoming air when the house is 

cooled in summer. 

The NZ building code has recommended 

air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain 

the required airflow for your home, please 

contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH 

(0800 766 684), who will also be able to 

recommend a solution if your ventilation 

doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.

Celebrating 56 years 

on the local music scene 

NEVILLE Wilkins & the Viscounts celebrate 

56 years on the music scene this weekend 

making them one of New Zealand’s longest 

established dance bands. 

Straits, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, Englebert 

Humperdink, and Elvis Presley,” said Neville. 

“So we play a good mixture of 50's, 60's, 70's 

ballads, rock and roll, country and even Irish.” 

Today the Viscounts - Neville Wilkins 

(trumpet); Christine Williams (vocals); Dave 

Petrie (keyboards); Ray Harris (guitar); 

Graeme Wallis (bass); John Wilson (drums) - 

still perform at private functions and the 

occasional public show.

Christchurch trumpeter, Neville Wilkins 

formed the band in 1962 and during its career 

The Viscounts has had around 60 members, 

with some staying as long as 20 years. 

Their first residencies included 

Christchurch’s 500 Club in Chancery Lane and 

The Town & About in Peterborough St, 

followed later by the Bush Inn Courts and 

Twiggers. 

With a career spanning well over five 

decades, the group has adapted its repertoire 

with time and today play a wide selection of 

material. 

“I always aimed for the band to play the 

most popular artists, such as Ricky Nelson, 

Billy Vaughan, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gene 

Pitney, Eddie Calvert, Neil Diamond, Dire 

Neville Wilkins & the Viscounts appear at 

the Woolston Club, Hargood St, this Saturday 

(3rd September). Don’t miss your opportunity
