breakfast club and fed about 80<br />

people in its first week.<br />

Located at Northcote School,<br />

the breakfast club is different<br />

to others in that it doesn’t just<br />

operate for the school. It is open<br />

to families and anyone else in<br />

the community who wants to<br />

come along, said organiser and<br />

community development worker<br />

Joss Butriss.<br />

“It’s been fabulous. We<br />

couldn’t have asked for better.<br />

Already after the first week I’ve<br />

got kids asking if I can do it five<br />

days a week,” said Miss Butriss.<br />

Currently the club runs on<br />

Monday and Wednesdays.<br />

Miss Butriss said the club is<br />

more than just feeding people,<br />

“it’s about the connections and<br />

philosophy behind it.”<br />

Board chair<br />

takes a<br />

stand over<br />

funding for<br />

organisation<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

THE FENDALTON-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

should not be funding a project<br />

which targets issues such as<br />

mental health, overcrowded<br />

housing and behavioural<br />

problems.<br />

That’s the stand board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald took over<br />

$20,000 of funding granted to Te<br />

Ora Hou Otautahi last week.<br />

But Mr MacDonald was the<br />

only board member at the meeting<br />

to vote against the plan.<br />

“I voted against it because it’s<br />

ratepayer money, we have a lot<br />

of priorities in the city and I just<br />

felt that when I talk to my constituents,<br />

it’s more about fixing<br />

our roads and infrastructure with<br />

ratepayers’ money,” he said.<br />

“Don’t get me wrong it’s a noble<br />

cause and what they are doing<br />

is great, but you have to go and<br />

justify it to ratepayers.”<br />

The money will fund Te Ora<br />

Hou’s whanau resiliency project,<br />

which identifies young people<br />

and their families most at risk<br />

for issues such as mental health,<br />

overcrowded housing, poor school<br />

attendance and behavioural<br />

problems, and will work alongside<br />

them for more than <strong>12</strong> months to<br />

develop long-term change.<br />

Bid to further lower speed limit<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

Julie<br />

Greenwood<br />

RELIEF MAY be in sight for<br />

those with concerns about the<br />

speed limit outside Harewood<br />

School.<br />

Last week, the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community<br />

Board approved several speed<br />

limit changes to the Harewood<br />

and Yaldhurst area.<br />

However, it recommended city<br />

council review<br />

the change to the<br />

speed outside<br />

of the school<br />

and consider<br />

lowering it again<br />

from 60km/h to<br />

50km/h. Currently<br />

it is 70km/h.<br />

Harewood<br />

School principal<br />

Julie Greenwood spoke at the<br />

last board meeting, calling for it<br />

to reconsider lowering the speed<br />

to 50km/h, a cause she has been<br />

supporting for many years.<br />

“The community board has<br />

been fantastic at listening to our<br />

concerns as a school, which has<br />

been great.”<br />

“We are delighted that the<br />

speed will be lowered to 60km/h<br />

but we would like them to consider<br />

if it can be 50km/h to make<br />

it consistent with Harewood Rd<br />

. . . this will assist in the safety<br />

of children and parents crossing<br />

the road in the vicinity of the<br />

school,” said Ms Greenwood.<br />

Lower speed limits will aim<br />

to address the changing nature<br />

of post-earthquake, north-west<br />

Christchurch, with its recent and<br />

proposed residential developments.<br />

The changes seek to mitigate<br />

the effects of increased traffic<br />

flows along previously rural<br />

roads and reduce the risk and<br />

severity of accidents to residents<br />

and users of these roads.<br />

City council received 144<br />

public submissions about the<br />

changes, with most supporting<br />

the lowering of speed limits.<br />

The changes will come into<br />

affect in July, following final<br />

approval from city council and<br />

the installing of appropriate<br />

ADJUSTMENTS:<br />

Speed limits<br />

will change<br />

on several<br />

Harewood and<br />

Yaldhurst roads<br />

the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-<br />

Harewood<br />

Community<br />

Board approved<br />

new changes<br />

last week.<br />

speed signs.<br />

Under the plan, parts of Sawyers<br />

Arms, Waimakariri, Harewood,<br />

Styx Mill, Watsons and<br />

Gardiners Rds will all become<br />

60km/h while parts of Highstead,<br />

Claridges, Hussey and<br />

Harewood Rds will be reduced<br />

to 50km/h.<br />

Sections of Guys, Coringa,<br />

Savills, Conservators and Ryans<br />

Rd will become 60km/h.<br />

OLD MITRE 10 SITE PLANS<br />

Plans for the former Mitre 10 site<br />

in the Bishopdale Village Mall are<br />

still unclear. Last week Nor’West<br />

<strong>News</strong> reported businessman Doug<br />

Spence had purchased the site.<br />

Bishopdale Centre Association<br />

for Bishopdale Village Businesses<br />

chairwoman Amanda Nuttall<br />

said the organisation is looking<br />

forward to seeing the site, which<br />

has sat empty for two years, be redeveloped.<br />

“Hopefully it will help<br />

re-invigorate the area and draw<br />

more people here. Mr Spence has<br />

some concept plans being drawn<br />

up at the moment which I am<br />

sure he will share with us as soon<br />

as he can”. Mr Spence owns the<br />

Bishopdale New World site and is<br />

currently looking to build a retail<br />

complex in Church Bay.<br />

SHIRLEY SITE CLEAN-UP<br />

Remediation work on the former<br />

Shirley Community Centre site<br />

will begin soon. The site at 10<br />

Shirley Rd will be cleared of all<br />

cabins, stockpiled materials and<br />

stones. Maintenance of the site will<br />

then be handed back to the city<br />

council.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

EXCITING NEW TECHNOLOGY<br />

AT MCMAsTEr & HEAp VETs<br />

Veterinary science is an ever changing,<br />

progressive and exciting field to try to keep<br />

abreast of. Over the past year Steve and I<br />

have invested in an Ultrasound machine<br />

that is of human quality and we also have<br />

digital radiography, which is amazing. Now<br />

I can zoom in on joints and bones to look<br />

for a lesion. We are also moving very shortly<br />

to a new in house laboratory system which<br />

will allow us to perform many more blood<br />

tests in clinic.<br />

Recently we made the<br />

huge leap to change<br />

our veterinary software<br />

system and integrate<br />

a digital system for<br />

patient monitoring,<br />

both our intensive<br />

care, hospital and<br />

surgical patients,<br />

therefore getting<br />

rid of pen and paper completely. Our old<br />

system had served us well for 15 years but<br />

it was high time to go “cloud based”. Last<br />

week we went “Live” with EzyVet software<br />

and actually its not as difficult as I thought<br />

it would be. I’ve learnt you just need an<br />

open mind as any old dog can learn new<br />

tricks. Its actually been quite fun.<br />

There are loads of benefits with EzyVet, one<br />

of them being better faster communication<br />

with you, our client. We now can easily<br />

text or email ( your preference) your<br />

surgical and consultation appointment<br />

times. We will progress into sending you<br />

reminders, if you want, for the products<br />

you regularly purchase from us like flea<br />

and worm treatments, vaccinations,<br />

prescription foods, arthritic medications<br />

etc. Once we get going with the system we<br />

will have ipads out at reception for you to<br />

electronically consent to a procedure and<br />

update your details for us. Our database will<br />

be more accurate and it will speed up the<br />

process.<br />

Once you have consented to a procedure,<br />

your pets details and what its in for gets<br />

transferred digitally to the treatment<br />

area and goes up live on one of our TV<br />

monitors. As certain tasks are completed<br />

like blood tests, radiographs, sedations<br />

given, then the TV monitor ticks these tasks<br />

off. Its been quite hard resisting a paper<br />

chart but we have less clutter and mess<br />

and more accurate means of recording<br />

every little detail now.<br />

I’m really proud of how our 20+ staff have<br />

embraced this challenge and tried hard to<br />

learn all the features these new systems<br />

have to offer. Last<br />

Tuesday I had two<br />

knee surgeries in dogs<br />

to do and Jaimee<br />

my nurse managed<br />

the ipad monitoring<br />

and charting so well.<br />

Everything entered<br />

on the Smartflow<br />

monitoring system<br />

sinks immediately to<br />

the EzyVet software system, therefore<br />

freeing up our time considerably.<br />

Our field is so challenging and exciting and<br />

there is always something new to consider<br />

having to improve the level of service we<br />

can offer. Steve and I have got big plans<br />

in the next <strong>12</strong> months to build onto our<br />

existing Vet Practice, therefore offering<br />

more services to our clients and providing<br />

more space to our ever growing database<br />

of clients and their pets. We will keep you<br />

updated when building starts but we are<br />

hoping by the end of this year.<br />

I’d say “WATCH this SPACE……..<br />

Stand taken over funding<br />

•From page 1<br />

Mr MacDonald believes<br />

the funding should come<br />

from the central government,<br />

not local.<br />

Since 2015, the city<br />

council has granted<br />

$246,108 to Te Ora<br />

Hou.<br />

However, deputy<br />

board chairman<br />

Aaron Campbell supported<br />

the funding.<br />

“I am very happy<br />

to give the programme<br />

a shot, unfortunately<br />

there are<br />

no other options right now,<br />

the Government isn’t in<br />

that space and parts of our<br />

Sam<br />

MacDonald<br />

I enjoyed connecting with<br />

Northwood’s business people<br />

recently when I spoke at a<br />

business breakfast around our<br />

current economic climate and<br />

where people think things could<br />

be done better. I enjoyed the<br />

two-way conversation as it is<br />

important to me to know about<br />

the issues that are affecting you<br />

as your voice in Parliament.<br />

I routinely visit our local<br />

businesses to see how they’re<br />

doing.<br />

Highlighting what we do well<br />

in Waimakariri electorate is<br />

something I enjoy. It was great<br />

to bring National’s Conservation<br />

Spokesperson Sarah Dowie to<br />

visit some impressive initiatives<br />

in our area, including a visit to<br />

Odyssey House and an update<br />

on Willowbank’s Kiwi programme.<br />

National’s Spokesperson for<br />

Health Michael Woodhouse was<br />

another colleague I hosted and<br />

we had informative sessions with<br />

the 298 Youth Health Centre<br />

area are in need, we have<br />

got to try do something,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Sure we could choose<br />

not to spend it, but there<br />

are a lot of reasons on why<br />

we should.”<br />

Te Ora Hou<br />

general manager<br />

Jono Campbell<br />

said ideally they<br />

would like to see<br />

more funding from<br />

the Government,<br />

but a key thing<br />

they value about<br />

local government<br />

investment is that it can<br />

meet a local need.<br />

should be spent<br />

on roads and<br />

infrastructure<br />

rather than<br />

giving it to<br />

community<br />

organisations.<br />

locally for local people.”<br />

“While it is important to<br />

invest in infrastructure, it<br />

is also important to invest<br />

in the communities and<br />

people that utilise our infrastructure<br />

and those people,<br />

like our built infrastructure,<br />

have taken a hammering.”<br />

“If we don’t invest in<br />

them then eventually something<br />

breaks and the effort<br />

to find solutions becomes<br />

even more costly, impacting<br />

and time-consuming.”<br />

Building friendships for over-60s<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

ABOUT 340 over-60s<br />

are benefitting from the<br />

Neighbourhood Trust’s Golden<br />

Connections programme which<br />

focuses on building relationships<br />

and friendships between older<br />

people in the community.<br />

Manager of the Mairehau trust<br />

Ginny Larsen said 280 of the 340<br />

in the programme live alone, so<br />

having a place to come and connect<br />

is very important for them.<br />

The programme runs twice a<br />

week with Monday being for a<br />

walking group and Wednesday<br />

for different activities such as<br />

meals, bus trips, movies, hymn<br />

service, games afternoon and a<br />

foot clinic.<br />

“The meals are always hugely<br />

popular – as they say, for many it<br />

is the only time they eat with others.<br />

We have to cut it off at 75, as<br />

we have around eight to 10 volunteers<br />

working in the kitchen,<br />

set-up and serving and we can’t<br />

fit more than 85 into the space.”<br />

Ms Larsen said the group is<br />

“staunch” opting to turn up to<br />

the walking no matter what the<br />

weather.<br />

“They inspire each other,” she<br />

said.<br />

“We love the way people look<br />

after each other and the valuable<br />

friendships that have grown.<br />

When someone is sick, others<br />

send cards and make phone<br />

calls. Sometimes they’ll ask if we<br />

can help organise a care package<br />

who is on-site on Wednesdays.”<br />

Reserve<br />

planting<br />

now tops<br />

2000 trees<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

THERE ARE now more than<br />

2000 trees planted in Papanui<br />

Bush as part of a restoration<br />

project for Bridgestone Reserve.<br />

The second planting in Papanui<br />

Bush’s restoration took place last<br />

week.<br />

In spite of the cold and rain<br />

about 100 volunteers turned out<br />

to plant 1400 native trees.<br />

They included Papanui-Innes<br />

Community Board members, a<br />

local MP, Papanui Heritage Group<br />

members, the Rotary Clubs of<br />

Riccarton and Papanui, students<br />

from Papanui High School and<br />

members of the public.<br />

Community board member John<br />

Stringer said he saw several fantails<br />

“flitting from new tree to new tree”<br />

while planting took place.<br />

“It was as if to say: ‘Thanks for<br />

these, we approve. Only took you<br />

170 years!’”<br />

The bush once took up 36ha of<br />

land that is now Papanui High<br />

School and Vagues Rd in 1850.<br />

During this time, most trees<br />

were felled over a period of five to<br />

six years.<br />

HEART: The new hall at Christchurch Boy’s High School which won an award at the<br />

<strong>2018</strong> Canterbury Architecture Awards. SKILL: The Cathedral Grammar junior school.<br />

New structures earn awards for architecture<br />

SEVERAL COMMERCIAL and<br />

public architecture projects and<br />

innovative buildings for learning<br />

were recognised at the <strong>2018</strong><br />

Canterbury Architecture Awards last<br />

week.<br />

As part of the peer-reviewed New<br />

Zealand Architecture Awards programme<br />

run by the New Zealand Institute<br />

of Architects, the awards announced<br />

34 winners at a ceremony at<br />

the Transitional Cathedral.<br />

Designed by Architectus, the St<br />

Andrew’s College Centennial Chapel<br />

received an award for it’s “exemplary<br />

response to a challenging brief – to<br />

replace a damaged but much-loved<br />

school building,” said the jury convenor<br />

for this year’s awards architect<br />

Melanda Slemint.<br />

“The chapel roof, a series of folded<br />

ridges and valleys, is a powerful<br />

sculptural element reminiscent<br />

of early church buildings yet contemporary<br />

in execution,” said Ms<br />

Slemint.<br />

Continuing with school awards,<br />

Andrew Barrie Lab and Tezuka Architects<br />

picked up an award for their<br />

work on the Cathedral Grammar<br />

junior school.<br />

“To compose a building that is<br />

so ‘scale specific’ to its primary<br />

occupants also requires immense<br />

patience and diligence, coupled with<br />

serious architectural skill.”<br />

The school also received an interior<br />

award, with the jury commenting<br />

on the “sumptuous and warm character”<br />

and noting that “any building<br />

with a playground on the roof must<br />

be a winner,” said Ms Slemint.<br />

A new hall at Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School designed by Jasmax is a<br />

“clever insertion of a contemporary<br />

building within the traditional<br />

school fabric that has given the<br />

school a new heart,” the jury said.<br />

Awards were also given to a<br />

“community-minded” housing development<br />

in Fendalton, Lintrathen<br />

Gardens and earthquake rebuild<br />

Ellis House, both by Sheppard and<br />

Rout Architects.<br />

A heritage award was given to<br />

restoration projects for Glandovey<br />

House by Warren and Mahoney.<br />

REPLACEMENT: The St Andrew’s College Centennial<br />

Chapel received an award for its ‘exemplary response<br />

to a challenging brief.’<br />

Lend a hand at Northcote School<br />

Northcote<br />

School<br />

principal<br />

Justin Perriam<br />

talks about<br />

volunteers<br />

making a<br />

difference in<br />

pupils’ education<br />

AT NORTHCOTE School we<br />

are so lucky to have a number of<br />

new community initiatives that<br />

we want to share with you, as<br />

well as some that we’d love you<br />

to be involved in.<br />

On May 21, with the<br />

assistance of Neighbourhood<br />

Links and Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi,<br />

a community breakfast club<br />

was launched in the Northcote<br />

community. This has been in<br />

development for some time and<br />

we were excited with the first<br />

breakfast in the multi-purpose<br />

room at Northcote School.<br />

The numbers attending were<br />

higher than expected, catering<br />

to about 30 people on Monday,<br />

and 50 on Wednesday, which is<br />

evidence that the community<br />

needs a programme like this.<br />

Although it is situated within<br />

the school, this is a community<br />

programme and everyone is<br />

welcome. It is supported and<br />

run by a team of volunteers from<br />

LEARNING: Parent helpers and volunteers from the Salvation<br />

Army help Northcote School pupils in the vegetable garden.<br />

the community, alongside staff<br />

from Neighbourhood Links.<br />

Also this term, we have<br />

started our reading mileage<br />

programme, which is designed<br />

to provide pupils with the<br />

opportunity to read more often.<br />

Currently, we have about <strong>12</strong><br />

community members coming<br />

into our school to read daily for<br />

15min with some of our pupils.<br />

This is already showing great<br />

results with pupils displaying<br />

increased enthusiasm and<br />

commitment to improving their<br />

reading ability.<br />

Again this is something we<br />

could not offer without the<br />

support of the greater Northcote<br />

and Redwood community.<br />

Another initiative we have<br />

running at the school is our<br />

vegetable garden programme.<br />

We have parent helpers, along<br />

with members of the Salvation<br />

Army who come in on Tuesday<br />

afternoons and work with<br />

pupils to prepare a meal, which<br />

includes some of the produce<br />

grown in our own garden.<br />

We are currently looking<br />

for people to help lead this<br />

programme, so if this sounds<br />

like you then please get in<br />

contact with the school.<br />

We have two year 10 students<br />

from Papanui High School<br />

who are running after-school<br />

netball sessions on Thursday<br />

afternoons as part of their<br />

Duke of Edinburgh awards. It<br />

is a great way to see our young<br />

future leaders giving back to the<br />

community.<br />

There are always plenty of<br />

opportunities for us all to<br />

become involved in our local<br />

communities and when we do<br />

so, the benefits for our tamariki/<br />

children can be great.<br />

•The breakfast club<br />

runs on Mondays and<br />

Wednesdays at Northcote<br />

School on Tuckers Rd from<br />

8-8.45am. If you’d like to<br />

volunteer and help prepare<br />

the food, please give us a<br />

call on 352 9371.<br />

Readers respond to an article<br />

about the Papanui-Innes<br />

Community Board asking the<br />

education minister to include<br />

Shirley and Richmond in the<br />

enrolment zone for the new<br />

school at QE II<br />

Craig Orr – Geographically<br />

speaking, it would make sense<br />

to change the zones and utilise<br />

Mairehau High School to service<br />

the majority of that<br />

area and add rooms<br />

if needed. It looks<br />

to be a well underutilised<br />

facility and<br />

is in a sensible place<br />

for the area. Anyone<br />

from say the east<br />

side of Marshland Rd goes to Shirley/<br />

Linwood, and west goes to Mairehau,<br />

maybe it’s not that simple but something<br />

will have to change to find a<br />

balance.<br />

Angela Toomey – Why does<br />

this have to be do hard? Why is<br />

the MoE being so tunnel visioned?<br />

Why can’t they see it’s time to be<br />

innovative? For a community already<br />

ravaged by forces beyond their control<br />

and looking to build hope and<br />

positivity for the youth and families<br />

in Christchurch, the earthquake was<br />

a leveller. Christchurch has been<br />

fractured. The MoE has a prime opportunity<br />

to help bring communities<br />

back to health, mental and physical,<br />

in their attitude to these new schools.<br />

Don’t lose that opportunity MoE.<br />

Medbury pupils move<br />

tonnes of rice for charity<br />

MEDBURY SCHOOL pupils<br />

have gained an insight to what<br />

life is like for refugees after they<br />

moved 118,082kg of rice and<br />

water on Friday.<br />

The whole school event<br />

‘Strength for Sudan’ had a goal<br />

of moving 40,000kg over 40m to<br />

raise funds for World Vision’s 40-<br />

Hour Famine.<br />

School spokeswoman<br />

Rachelle Mathews said this<br />

goal got “totally<br />

obliterated” when<br />

the boys moved<br />

close to triple that<br />

amount.<br />

The pupils were<br />

sponsored per<br />

kilogram moved,<br />

Amos<br />

Pilgrim<br />

total kilograms<br />

moved, or by a<br />

lump sum amount.<br />

The rice and water used was<br />

purchased by the school and will<br />

be donated to the Salvation Army<br />

and Christchurch City Mission.<br />

A similar event, ‘Stroll for<br />

Syria’ took place last year, which<br />

saw the school raise almost<br />

$23,000, the second highest<br />

amount raised by a group in the<br />

South Island.<br />

The event on Friday was<br />

run by year 8 house leaders,<br />

head of community service<br />

Amos Pilgrim, and student<br />

head of community service<br />

LIFT: Year 8 Medbury School pupil Jack McKenzie carries rice<br />

on his head as part of the school’s World Vision challenge.<br />

Sam Moorhead. Mr Pilgrim<br />

said community service events<br />

like this were fast becoming a<br />

highlight of the school’s calendar.<br />

“Money raised from this event<br />

will be used for child-friendly<br />

spaces such as playgrounds and<br />

classrooms. Our boys will get to<br />

make a meaningful difference<br />

in the lives of other children<br />

their age. We were able to come<br />

together as a school community<br />

and continue to develop a culture<br />

of having fun together while<br />

helping those less fortunate than<br />

ourselves,” he said.<br />

The money raised in this year’s<br />

40-hour famine will go towards<br />

supporting the refugee children<br />

of south Sudan and their families<br />

with food, clean water, toilets,<br />

education, emergency response<br />

items, a place to live and a place<br />

to play in child-friendly spaces.<br />

into the United States in the<br />

PAPANUI TIGERS’ pitcher<br />

Brittany Terrey’s talents are<br />

taking her all over the world.<br />

The 18-year-old will represent<br />

New Zealand at the under-19<br />

level at the Canada Cup in July<br />

before taking up a two-year<br />

scholarship at Indian Hills Community<br />

College in Iowa.<br />

Terrey has played for the Tigers<br />

since she first played teeball as a<br />

young child.<br />

Her mother, father and grandfather<br />

were all pitchers, and once<br />

she was a teenager, Terrey added<br />

to that legacy.<br />

“It’s definitely an art learning<br />

how to pitch and control your<br />

command on the mound,” she<br />

said.<br />

The Junior White Sox member<br />

has been clocked at 102km/h for<br />

her fast ball while her curve ball<br />

is about 60km/h.<br />

Terrey said she learnt a lot<br />

from her trip to Florida for the<br />

world championships with the<br />

junior White Sox team last year<br />

but admitted she found the step<br />

up challenging.<br />

“Compared to club softball<br />

here, the margins were a lot less<br />

and the skill of some of some of<br />

the other international players<br />

made me step up my performance,”<br />

she said.<br />

Terrey said she wants to win a<br />

ACE<br />

PITCHER:<br />

Brittany<br />

Terrey will<br />

travel to<br />

the Canada<br />

Cup with the<br />

junior White<br />

Sox next<br />

month then<br />

take up a US<br />

scholarship.<br />

Canada Cup for Papanui pitcher<br />

starting berth during the tournament.<br />

“I’m happy to get into any<br />

games and contribute to the<br />

team, but I want to be a starter.”<br />

She said she hoped her past<br />

experience with national agegroup<br />

squads would hold her in<br />

good stead.<br />

The event will run from July 13<br />

to 23 in Surrey, British Columbia,<br />

and provides a platform for<br />

players to compete on the international<br />

stage in advance of next<br />

year’s under-19 women’s World<br />

Cup in Irvine, California.<br />

The Canada Cup offers three<br />

divisions in which federations,<br />

colleges and clubs can compete.<br />

Hidden treasures, right<br />

in the centre of Riccarton<br />

Natural Attraction Antiques and<br />

Treasure started life as a hair salon<br />

(Natural Attraction Hair Stylists)<br />

over 30 years ago and has gradually<br />

transitioned over to an antique shop<br />

with four registered dealers - Sue, Geoff,<br />

Steve and Uma – providing expertise<br />

and unique things. Part of its ongoing<br />

charm is that two of the dealers are still<br />

also hairdressers so some days you will<br />

find clients having their hair done in the<br />

salon section of the shop while others<br />

are browsing the eclectic displays of<br />

jewellery, curios, fabrics and porcelain.<br />

They cover a wide range of traditional<br />

antiques, decorative items and plenty<br />

of interesting collectables making it the<br />

perfect place if you want a special gift<br />

for any occasion or have been searching<br />

for that piece to complete a collection.<br />

Prices are reasonable and range from<br />

$5-$500 with new stock brought in<br />

every week. If they don’t have what you<br />

are looking for, they are always happy<br />

to try and source specific pieces, taking<br />

their treasure-hunt far and wide. You<br />

can also try their main shop, The Ferry<br />

Antique Centre at 282 Ferry Road,<br />

Waltham.<br />

Located at the Windmill Centre, 184<br />

Clarence Street, there is easy parking at<br />

the door and the shop is near to the wellknown<br />

“Ed Hopper” coffee shop - they<br />

recommend that customers check out<br />

the coffees and legendary date scones.<br />

TE PAE ON<br />

TRACK FOR 2020<br />

OPENING<br />

01 Weighing an impressive 50 tonnes,<br />

the 50 metre long main steel<br />

roof truss for the auditorium was<br />

recently secured into place.<br />

02 The 1400 seat auditorium is<br />

designed to be flexible and<br />

configurable so different events<br />

can be held simultaneously.<br />

03 Looking out over Victoria Square,<br />

Te Pae’s curved façade reflects<br />

Canterbury’s mountain and<br />

braided river landscapes.<br />

Construction on Te Pae, Christchurch’s<br />

new convention centre, is progressing<br />

rapidly. This venue opens Christchurch<br />

to the world. Having a central city facility<br />

purpose-built for large-scale events allows<br />

opportunities to promote our local strengths<br />

and internationally respected expertise in<br />

sectors such as primary production, earth<br />

sciences, medical research and software<br />

innovation, to an international audience.<br />

01<br />

Already we are expecting 3000 visitors<br />

for events in the month of October 2020,<br />

soon after Te Pae is scheduled to open.<br />

Business event travellers typically<br />

spend twice as much as leisure tourists<br />

and ChristchurchNZ estimates<br />

our city is currently missing out on<br />

$90M in direct investment each year<br />

by not having such a facility.<br />

Christchurch has long been considered a<br />

great city for hosting business events. Te Pae<br />

will ensure we are once again able to welcome<br />

visitors with an experience like no other.<br />

From a phenomenal riverfront location<br />

in the central city, to world-class<br />

purpose-built facilities, Te Pae offers<br />

an experience like no other.<br />

One meaning of Te Pae is ‘gathering<br />

place’. Much more than a traditional<br />

convention centre, this iconic new<br />

facility will indeed be just that -<br />

a gathering place for the 21st century,<br />

where locals and visitors alike come<br />

together to share, learn, be hosted<br />

and entertained. As well as holding<br />

conferences and meetings, you’ll be able<br />

to attend expos, public presentations,<br />

galas and other special events there.<br />

An iconic landmark in our flourishing<br />

cityscape, influences of our landscape<br />

are interwoven into the striking<br />

building design, making it a physical<br />

representation of New Zealand, our<br />

culture and the stories of our people.

SPORTS<br />

Sprinter overcomes fear<br />

to win scholarship in US<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

FORMER ST Margaret’s sprinter<br />

Jordyn Blake didn’t like the<br />

400m distance when she first<br />

started. Now it’s got her a United<br />

States college scholarship.<br />

The 18-year-old will head to<br />

Loyola University Chicago and<br />

compete in its NCAA division<br />

one programme in August after<br />

impressing in her first season<br />

back from injury.<br />

She said she can see the funny<br />

side of her once least favourite<br />

distance now providing her with<br />

SPEEDSTER: Jordyn Blake<br />

has accepted a college<br />

scholarship to Loyola<br />

University Chicago and will<br />

leave in August.<br />

PHOTO: BLAKE FAMILY<br />

a great career opportunity.<br />

“I came to the sport quite late<br />

when I was <strong>12</strong>,” she said. “I was<br />

definitely a sprinter from the<br />

start but I refused to run the<br />

400m for the first couple of years.<br />

“It’s ironic because it’s become<br />

my best event as I’ve got older<br />

and I was joking with dad that<br />

it’s probably the distance that’s<br />

got me the scholarship,” she said.<br />

The former South Island<br />

200m age-group champion<br />

finished fourth in her heat at the<br />

Australian championships in<br />

march.<br />

Blake has taken 2sec off her<br />

personal best time in the 400m<br />

after returning from injury.<br />

“In January of 2016, I had a<br />

sore foot and I was getting physio<br />

on it every week and was being<br />

told it would come right so I kept<br />

competing and playing hockey<br />

on it as well,” she said.<br />

“By November, I had it x-rayed<br />

and it was discovered I had two<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

bones in my foot that were joined<br />

together from birth.<br />

“It’s very common but most<br />

people never discover it, but<br />

because I’d been competing on it<br />

for so long, I had a fracture.”<br />

During her six-month<br />

recovery, Blake said she was able<br />

to work on her technique with<br />

coach Jill Morrison, which has<br />

seen her run personal bests over<br />

all sprint distances in the last<br />

season.<br />

Blake said she gets nervous at<br />

the start of the 400m but believed<br />

it was all part of the love-hate<br />

relationship she has with it.<br />

“There’s nothing in the tank<br />

by the end of it, and I always<br />

like to get a fast start to let my<br />

competitors hear me coming up<br />

on them,” she said. Blake, who<br />

will study business marketing<br />

in Chicago, said she was looking<br />

forward to being able to compete<br />

<strong>12</strong> months of the year, which will<br />

include an indoor season.<br />

Heale gets national hockey call-up<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

ST ALBANS’ Llewellyn Heale<br />

has turned the skills he learnt<br />

on a concrete tennis court with<br />

wooden sticks and a tennis ball<br />

into a New Zealand under-21<br />

hockey call-up.<br />

It is the first time Heale has<br />

been part of a national squad,<br />

with 30 players selected for a<br />

camp in Hawkes Bay from July<br />

16-20.<br />

That squad will be cut to a<br />

travelling squad for the Sultan<br />

of Johor Cup in Malaysia in October<br />

before a test series against<br />

Australia in December.<br />

Heale, a midfielder, has captained<br />

teams throughout the agegrades<br />

and said he will relish the<br />

chance to be part of a national<br />

team environment.<br />

“It’s a really exciting opportunity<br />

to learn loads and I hope to<br />

make the most of it,” he said.<br />

The 19-year-old has come<br />

through the Canterbury agegroup<br />

system, playing Hatch Cup<br />

twice, under-15s, regionals and<br />

under-21s.<br />

The former Christ’s College<br />

captain moved to the Hornby<br />

club this season, eager to take on<br />

more responsibility.<br />

“Hornby gave me the best<br />

chance to be a leader and have<br />

the greatest impact on team success,”<br />

he said.<br />

Heale described himself as a<br />

pass-oriented player who likes to<br />

play at pace with vision up the<br />

field.<br />

Heale is one of seven Canterbury<br />

players in the squad with<br />

Louis Beckert, Lawrence Darling,<br />

Moss Jackson, Declan Keaney,<br />

Sam Lane, Harry Lawson and<br />

Gus Wakeling also part of the<br />

camp.<br />

The squad was selected following<br />

the national under-21 tournament<br />

in May where selectors<br />

put together the <strong>2018</strong> national<br />

programme with the main focus<br />

being the transtasman series at<br />

the end of the year.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

Protect your face<br />

during winter weather<br />

The wind is howling outside, and your<br />

face is taking the brunt of the winter<br />

weather. Cold, chapped, dehydrated skin<br />

is depleting your face of its moisture and<br />

youthful glow.<br />

Plus, with the high levels of chlorination<br />

in the city water, skin damage has taken<br />

place even though the levels<br />

of chlorine are being lowered.<br />

Too little, too late as it doesn’t<br />

matter what age a person is,<br />

the short-term effect on the<br />

body’s skin has been harmful<br />

especially on the face which can<br />

tremendously benefit from the<br />

ADURO LED Light Therapy<br />

machine.<br />

NASA uses LED light therapy<br />

to heal wounds in space and on<br />

earth, imagine what it can do<br />

for your skin.<br />

Acne a concern? As it thrives<br />

in harsh environments like dry<br />

weather or hormonal imbalance<br />

and can be very painful and<br />

uncomfortable, plus acne leaves<br />

a person’s skin looking worn,<br />

leather looking and scarred.<br />

Charmaine and her team to<br />

the rescue. With more than two decades<br />

of experience behind them, the clinic<br />

offers a variety of services including Teeth<br />

Whitening, Anti-Acne, Anti-Aging, Age<br />

Spots, Eczema, Psoriasis, Uneven Skin<br />

Tone, Rejuvenation treatments and so<br />

much more.<br />

BEFORE<br />

AFTER<br />

Amazing results – before and after photos<br />

supplied by a happy client, who has been<br />

battling acne all her life<br />

Their technical LED Light Therapy facial<br />

machine is having astounding results by<br />

infusing nourishment back into the skin<br />

pores with the natural but active Mismo<br />

skincare range.<br />

For acne, the LED machine helps with<br />

anti-bacterial treatments, which makes<br />

puss pools smaller and smaller<br />

over time, so the acne won’t be as<br />

visible on the face. Then as soon<br />

as the acne has started lessening,<br />

switch to the Acne Anti-Scarring<br />

treatment program.<br />

The LED machine also triggers<br />

the regrowth of collagen which<br />

smooths out wrinkles and lessens<br />

facial line severity, Age Spots &<br />

Scars<br />

In addition to the LED laser<br />

machine, the clinic is expanding<br />

its services and relocating to a<br />

new facility in mid-<strong>June</strong>.<br />

“The expansion and new<br />

location is exciting. Our team<br />

looks forward to providing these<br />

new services to our customers<br />

to enhance their lifestyle,” owner<br />

Charmaine smiles.<br />

“We appreciate our customer<br />

loyalty and for the opportunity to serve<br />

them as we started with the Sparklewhite<br />

teeth whitening system, which we still<br />

offer, and then expanded into the LED<br />

Light Therapy and facial treatments and<br />

now have expanded our beauty services,<br />

products, and treatments at our new<br />

location.”<br />

Don’t neglect your skin or body this<br />

winter, plus its always nice to have a<br />

pearly white smile. Check out their<br />

services at www. turnbacktimebeauty.<br />
