Residents<br />
fed up<br />
over more<br />
repair<br />
delays for<br />
Riccarton<br />
street<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
RESIDENTS OF a flood-prone<br />
Riccarton street are fed up at<br />
repeated delays to have repairs<br />
finished.<br />
Bradshaw Tce residents have<br />
to wait until 2021 to have repair<br />
work finished on their street, 10<br />
years after the city council first<br />
told them it would be done.<br />
The city council announced<br />
rebuild plans for the street in<br />
2010 and said work would be<br />
completed in a year. The first<br />
delays in 2011 were blamed on<br />
the earthquake.<br />
The second delay came in<br />
2015. The city council started<br />
some repairs in 2016 but left the<br />
works unfinished. The latest<br />
delay resulted from last week’s<br />
Long Term Plan adoption.<br />
When asked about the repeated<br />
delays, the city council<br />
did not provide a response.<br />
The works in 2016 included<br />
water mains repairs, resident<br />
Tony Dale said. Temporary<br />
re-sealing was done six months<br />
ago, but the flooding issues<br />
have persisted.<br />

THAT’S ONE amazing effort on page 13<br />
today – Hillmorton High basketballer Ihaia<br />
Kendrew’s 53 points.<br />
That’s a lot of hot shooting and the team<br />
he was playing against, Burnside High, are<br />
no easy beats.<br />
Ihaia says he was motivated by Hillmorton’s departing coach<br />
Marques Whippy.<br />
In hindsight maybe Whippy should have indicated in the prematch<br />
pep talks early in the season he was on the move. It might<br />
have worked the oracle earlier.<br />
Ihaia sunk 11 three-pointers in his haul. Amazing.<br />

Improvements for deadly intersections<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
MOTORISTS CAN look<br />
forward to safety improvements<br />
at three dangerous intersections<br />
in Riccarton.<br />
The city council has earmarked<br />
funding for the intersections at<br />
both ends of Clarence St and<br />
intersection at Ilam, Middleton<br />
and Riccarton Rds in its Long<br />
Term Plan, which was adopted<br />
last week.<br />
The intersection at the<br />
Riccarton Rd end will get a<br />
$356,000 safety upgrade in<br />
2020/21, and the Blenheim Rd<br />
end will get safety improvements<br />
worth $1.1 million in 2022/21.<br />
The Ilam, Middleton and<br />
Riccarton Rd intersection,<br />
will get $1 million in safety<br />
improvements over this year and<br />
next year. A number of options,<br />
including cycleways will be<br />
considered. A detailed plan on<br />
the upgrades is yet to be released.<br />
City council transport<br />
planning and delivery manager<br />
Lynette Ellis said detailed<br />
plans for the two Clarence St<br />
intersections won’t be available<br />
until closer to the expected<br />
construction periods in 2020 and<br />
2022.<br />
“This intersection is part<br />

priority intersection for safety<br />
interventions and public<br />

injuries and 14 minor injuries<br />

COUNCIL<br />
and the need to provide safe<br />
crossing for all modes, especially<br />
pedestrians,” Ms Ellis said.<br />
The city council confirmed last<br />
month that right turning arrows<br />
from Riccarton Rd onto Clarence<br />
St and Straven Rd would be part<br />
of the Riccarton Rd upgrades.<br />
“Right turn against oncoming<br />
traffic is the main concern and<br />
work is being undertaken to<br />
identify the issues for all users as<br />
well as safety concerns. Funding<br />
is scheduled in 2022/2023<br />
to allow the completion of a<br />
corridor study of the Whiteleigh<br />
Ave and Clarence St corridor to<br />
ensure cost effective solutions are<br />
undertaken for the intersection,”<br />
Ms Ellis said.<br />
The area has became more<br />
congested due to population<br />
growth in the area since the<br />
earthquakes, Mrs Broughton<br />
said.<br />
The Ilam, Middleton and<br />
Riccarton Rd intersection was<br />
ranked as the fourth most<br />
dangerous in the city by the<br />
city council and New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency. The Clarence<br />
St, Straven Rd and Riccarton Rd<br />
intersection was ranked as the<br />
sixth and the Clarence St and<br />
Blenheim Rd intersection was<br />
ranked 10th.<br />

New classrooms<br />
for Hornby High<br />
•From page 1<br />
Some of the facilities that are<br />
being replaced include prefabs<br />
built 43 years ago, Mr Sutton<br />
said.<br />
“Other schools have of course<br />
had new facilities built<br />
in the past few years, but<br />
we are the first secondary<br />
school to have a whole<br />
school redevelopment.”<br />
Stage one of the rebuild<br />
included classrooms<br />
for “specialist learning”<br />
spaces.<br />
“There will be classes for<br />
sciences, food technology, hard<br />
materials classes, visual arts and<br />
digital technology,” Mr Sutton<br />
said. “It also houses our hauora<br />
wellness areas, library, a cafe and<br />
staff area.”<br />
A new gymnasium will also be<br />
opened next month. The facilities<br />
are divided into two buildings.<br />
“Visually it will appear as one<br />
building but they are connected<br />
by laneways,” Mr Sutton said.<br />
When the full rebuild is complete<br />
at the end of next year, the<br />
school will be able to cater for 100<br />
more students in addition to the<br />
current roll of 700.<br />
But the school master plan included<br />
space for future expansion<br />
of up to 1200 students to cater for<br />
population growth, Mr Sutton<br />
said. “Three more buildings will<br />
be added in stage two and we’ve<br />
master planned to have space for<br />
two more buildings.”<br />
Ministry of Education<br />
head of education infrastructure<br />
Kim Shannon<br />
said the $26 million<br />
Hornby High School<br />
rebuild is part of the<br />
$1.137 billion Christchurch<br />
Schools Rebuild<br />
Kim Shannon<br />
programme, which will<br />
rebuild or renew 115<br />
schools by 2022.<br />
“The CSR programme was<br />
developed following the assessment<br />
of over 200 schools in<br />
Canterbury over two years for<br />
earthquake strengthening needs,<br />
weather tightness, modernisation<br />
and what new infrastructure is<br />
required.”<br />
Temporary prefabs will be used<br />
for classrooms until stage two is<br />
complete.<br />

with special dignitaries will be<br />
held on August 3.<br />

Supermarket pork recalled<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
NEW WORLD Halswell is<br />
recalling batches of its pork hock<br />
and pork shoulder roast due to<br />
metal contamination.<br />
There have been no reports<br />
of injury, but the Ministry for<br />
Primary Industries urged customers<br />
who consumed the pork<br />
and have health concerns to seek<br />
medical advice.<br />
The ministry said the batches<br />
have a best before date of June 29<br />
and 30 and were only sold at the<br />
Halswell store.<br />
The products were sold in clear<br />
plastic trays with clear plastic<br />
wrapping. Individual packaging<br />
sizes varied as it depended on<br />
the size of the meat.<br />
Ministry spokeswoman<br />
Helene Ambler said they were<br />
currently investigating the<br />
matter and could not provide<br />
any information on how the<br />
contamination may have<br />
occurred. She referred queries to<br />
Foodstuffs South Island.<br />
Foodstuffs South Island<br />
did not respond for<br />
comment.<br />
Customers were told by the<br />
ministry to return the product<br />
for a full refund. The product<br />
was not exported.

Residents fed up with repair delays<br />
HAD ENOUGH: Bradshaw St residents Tony Dale, Claire Mouat and Anne Dale are upset over<br />
flooding issues in their street.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
•From page 1<br />
He blamed the current surface<br />
flooding issues on the repairs<br />
being left unfinished.<br />
The most recent flooding was<br />
on June 20, when the city council<br />
had to pump out water.<br />
Mr Dale said he was disappointed<br />
the city council did not<br />
“front up” this time.<br />
“The trouble is, they have<br />
fronted up several times in the<br />
past . . . then nothing has happened.<br />
What’s the big secret?”<br />
Mr Dale said he understood<br />
other areas in the city needed<br />
prioritising following the earthquakes,<br />
but all he would like<br />
is to see the promised work<br />
completed.<br />
“At the moment the street is<br />
the way it was built 80 years ago.<br />
The gutters on the streets are<br />
breaking down. The new seal is<br />
breaking up again.”<br />
Resident Clare Mouat says the<br />
streets in the area have had longterm<br />
surface flooding issues due<br />
to water run-off from Riccarton<br />
Bush.<br />
“Bradshaw Tce is aligned with<br />
Rata St and we took in water<br />
run-off from the bush. Rata St<br />
have had their repairs done and<br />
all their issues are now good,”<br />
Mrs Mouat said.<br />
Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock<br />
Residents Association<br />
chairman Tony Simons says<br />
he did not understand the city<br />
council’s “back to basics” budget,<br />
as “basic work” on Bradshaw Tce<br />
was deferred.<br />
“I’m a bit mystified when<br />
projects like this get put off when<br />
we spend millions of dollars on<br />
cycleways.”<br />
Riccarton Ward city councillor<br />
Vicki Buck said she did “not<br />
recall all of the history” behind<br />
delays at the street but believed<br />
the earthquakes played a role in<br />
the repairs being continuously<br />
delayed.<br />
“I wasn’t involved at the council<br />
at the time [between 2010 and<br />
2013]. But I’ve told staff that I<br />
would really like to get the work<br />
done this year.”<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board deputy<br />
chairwoman Helen Broughton<br />
said repairing the cul-de-sac off<br />
Straven Rd has been one of the<br />
board’s “top priorities” and is<br />
frustrated it has been deferred by<br />
the city council.<br />
“It should have gone through<br />
earlier, it would have been best if<br />
it was done this year,” she said.<br />
Mrs Broughton said the delays<br />
were not a sign that the board’s<br />
input was not being heard.<br />

Halswell, Hornby and Riccarton<br />
Wards. A level crossing is an<br />
intersection where a railway line<br />
crosses a road at the same level.<br />
City council transport operations<br />
manager Steffan Thomas<br />
said the city council did not<br />
know why the crossings were<br />
incorrectly marked.<br />
The city council has no plans to<br />
investigate why the mistakes were<br />
made.<br />
“The correct markings are a<br />
solid yellow line to the left of the<br />
white centre line to indicate that<br />
motorists should not overtake<br />
approaching the level crossing.<br />
The exact length depends on the<br />
location,” he said.<br />
The road rules state that double<br />
yellow lines or a flush median<br />
near a level crossing also indicated<br />
no overtaking.<br />
New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency’s Traffic Control Devices<br />
Manual published in 2012, said<br />
that no overtaking road markings<br />
needed to be a minimum<br />
distance of 65m from the level<br />
crossing.<br />
NO PASSING: The south-east approach to the level crossing at<br />
Annex Rd, Middleton is incorrectly marked as it does not have<br />
no overtaking lines.<br />

The road user manual stated<br />
that a driver must not pass or<br />
attempt to pass another vehicle<br />
moving in the same direction at<br />
or within 60m of a level crossing.<br />
The audit found that some level<br />
crossing approaches in the city<br />
did not have “no overtaking”<br />
lines or the existing lines were<br />
not 65m long.<br />
Mr Thomas said the audit was<br />
done throughout the first half of<br />
the year.<br />
“Staff identified 16 level<br />
crossings out of 42 which had<br />
overtaking lines that were not<br />
100 per cent correct,” he said.<br />
The audit was initiated by the<br />
city council and it is not facing<br />
penalties from the NZTA for the<br />
wrong markings, Mr Thomas<br />
said.<br />
At Annex Rd in Middleton, the<br />
southeast approach to the level<br />
Incorrectly marked level<br />

•Annex Rd, Middleton<br />

crossing was missing no<br />
overtaking lines. The Parker St<br />
level crossing in Islington also<br />
lacked no overtaking lines from<br />
the southern approach to the<br />
railway tracks.<br />
Painting the road markings<br />
across the city is estimated to<br />
cost $10,000 and the city council<br />
planned to make the corrections<br />
by the end of the month.<br />
Of the 16 level crossings that<br />
were incorrectly marked, one<br />
accident was reported at Kainga<br />
Rd in the past five years, KiwiRail<br />
said.<br />

Templeton quarry battle: Bring it on<br />
Templeton Residents<br />
Association<br />
chairman<br />
Garry Kilday<br />
reacts to the<br />
results of the<br />
Yaldhurst<br />
monitoring<br />
programme.<br />
THE RESIDENTS of Templeton<br />
will have heard or read about<br />
the outcome of Environment<br />
Canterbury’s dust monitoring<br />
programme and will be feeling<br />
some concern.<br />
While this outcome is a travesty<br />
for the people of Yaldhurst being<br />
hurt by these ruthless corporates,<br />
the outcome itself came as no<br />
surprise to the no quarry subcommittee.<br />
We had anticipated this event<br />
and it does not change our submission<br />
process whatsoever, in<br />
actual fact we believe it may help.<br />
I believe that the dust monitors<br />
were not reliable, hence the<br />
results from them can not be<br />
relied upon.<br />
Ownership of the monitors<br />
themselves seems to be a grey area.<br />
Some believe they are paid<br />
for by the quarry companies,<br />
so if this is the case they would<br />
have first dibs at the so called<br />
“raw data” which ECan has been<br />
talking about for some time, and<br />
PROBLEMATIC: Dust at Winstone Aggregates quarry in Yaldhurst.<br />
all evidence from that point on<br />
would be compromised.<br />
If this is the case, the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board<br />
and ECan are acting on flawed<br />
information.<br />
And of course with the wettest<br />
four months for years in<br />
Canterbury, getting any reading<br />
is amazing. What will it be like<br />
in mid-summer in a north-west<br />
gale? Due to some inaccuracies/<br />
major concerns reported by the<br />
Yaldhurst group we will be writing<br />
to ECan strategy and planning<br />
director Katherine Trought,<br />
to take up her offer of organising<br />
a meeting with the chief medical<br />
officer Alistair Humphrey and<br />
ECan to discuss the results.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
The admission by a representative<br />
of ECan that their inability to<br />
monitor compliance at the first<br />
and second community meeting<br />
was confirmed at a recent meeting<br />
with Ms Trought and ECan<br />
chairman, Steve Lowndes. They<br />
went as far as to say it is about<br />
three years behind around all<br />
compliance issues.<br />
In addition to meeting with<br />
ECan, we have also met with<br />
Selwyn District Council regarding<br />
its Long Term Plan quarry<br />
regulatory requirement.<br />
This was also extremely helpful<br />
and has clarified a few more<br />
points.<br />
It is my belief that Fulton<br />
Hogan may now put in its application<br />
early to try and catch<br />
us unaware, so for those who are<br />
planning on putting in a submission,<br />
please be ready.<br />
The no quarry sub-committee<br />
will not be changing anything in<br />
our submission so with that in<br />
mind, bring it on.<br />
We will be re-extending an<br />
invitation to Fulton Hogan to<br />
attend a community meeting,<br />
which it declined to attend earlier<br />
in the year.<br />
We believe that this is vital to<br />
successful and transparent community<br />
engagement.<br />
We will advise you of the outcome.<br />

Mr Holstein<br />
Kia ora and thank you to<br />
everyone who attended our<br />
Open Evening on 15 May. We<br />
trust you enjoyed your time<br />
with us, learned more about our<br />
school, and gained an insight<br />
into Burnside High School. I am<br />
grateful to the 250 volunteer<br />
student guides who were proud<br />
to showcase their school to you.<br />
The Burnside High school ethos is expressed in our<br />
vision, mission and values. We provide an excellent<br />
learning environment that makes a positive difference to<br />
people’s lives. We pride ourselves on being a successful<br />
school that is highly regarded in the community for<br />
its high-quality, values-based learning and specialist<br />
facilities. We are a larger school with a community feel,<br />
offering a wide range of opportunities in a safe, friendly<br />
atmosphere, and with high standards and expectations<br />
of ourselves and our students. We base our culture on a<br />
vision of personal excellence and caring for others. Our<br />
key values of Manaakitanga - being respectful, Mana<br />
- having pride, and Rangatiratanga - striving to excel<br />
guides the way that students and staff act, feel and think<br />
about themselves and about others.<br />
Burnside High School has an outstanding reputation for<br />
its ability to ensure that students achieve very well. We<br />
do this through our focus on providing a high-quality,<br />
co-educational learning environment. We are delighted<br />
that, over the next few years, there will be a major<br />
redevelopment of our campus.<br />
Our size and all the advantages that this brings is a point<br />
of difference and is what makes this decile 8, state, coeducational<br />
school special. The seven significant features<br />
that make Burnside High School a leader of learning are,<br />
in no particular order:<br />
• We are a centre for academic excellence with an<br />
emphasis on high-quality teaching practices and<br />
outstanding achievement.<br />
• We are co-educational and multi-cultural, reflecting the<br />
social reality of our nation and our world, and allowing<br />
young female and male students opportunities to<br />
develop learning relationships based on absolute and<br />
genuine respect and equality.<br />
• Our roll of around 2,500 students enables us to<br />
provide an extensive, diverse and specialised<br />
curriculum that caters for and challenges students of<br />
all abilities.<br />
• We provide an exceptionally wide range of cocurricular<br />
opportunities (music, drama, dance, clubs<br />
and sports) for students to enjoy, learn new skills, to<br />
make friends, take leadership roles, and achieve at a<br />
high level.<br />
• We are a caring school where students are known and<br />
supported as individuals in a positive, inclusive and<br />
well-resourced learning environment.<br />
• We value effective relationships with parents/whanau<br />
and the wider community to improve outcomes for<br />
students.<br />
• We are innovative and responsive to the evolving<br />
nature of society through continuous and rigorous<br />
review and evaluation of our systems, practices and<br />
procedures.<br />
These seven factors contribute to the obvious pride that<br />
we all have in our school.<br />
Burnside High School, in partnership with whanau, has<br />
the proven ability to assist students develop the skills,<br />
attributes, and attitudes to make a success of their lives<br />
in the workplace, in the community, and as members of<br />
supportive and loving families. I believe in, and am proud<br />
of, Burnside High School; and feel privileged to be its<br />
principal.<br />
Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tūohu koe me he maunga<br />
teitei, ko Aoraki anake<br />
Pursue excellence, and if you are to ever bow – let it only<br />
be to a lofty mountain, Aoraki.<br />
Phil Holstein,<br />
Principal<br />
Burnside High School Music Department<br />
Term 2 has seen a remarkable number of impressive<br />
achievements by our talented musicians on the national and<br />
regional stage.<br />
The Burnside High School Big Band and SMP Jazz Combos<br />
embarked on a week-long tour of the North Island, performing<br />
at the Manawatu Jazz Festival and the NZSM (Wellington)<br />
Jazz Festival where they won a total of 19 separate awards,<br />
including Best Big Band and Best Combo at each festival. An<br />
outstanding achievement.<br />
At the ARA Jazz Quest Combo Competition this success was<br />
repeated with SMP Combo 1 won “Best Combo” and a further<br />
five individual awards were won.<br />
Dr Dave Lisik, Head of Jazz Theory and Composition at the<br />
New Zealand School of Music writes: “What this doesn’t<br />
illustrate, given that Burnside’s jazz groups routinely have<br />
successful individuals and groups winning awards, is how<br />
the Jazz Programme as a whole continues to improve. Huge<br />
congratulations to everyone!”<br />
At the regional NZCF Big Sing competition, Burnside’s choirs<br />
were once again in the spotlight and received a number of<br />
coveted awards:<br />
Junior Performance Choir<br />
• Outstanding Recital by a Junior Choir<br />
Aurora Voices<br />
• Outstanding performance of a composition with a Maori or<br />
Pacifica text<br />
• Outstanding performance of an Early Music composition<br />
• Outstanding Recital by a Treble Choir<br />
Bel Canto<br />
• Outstanding Recital by a Girls’ Choir<br />
Senior Chorale<br />
• Outstanding performance of a New Zealand Composition<br />
• Outstanding Recital by a Mixed Voice Choir<br />
• University of Canterbury School of Music Award for<br />
best performance of a New Zealand work at the Big Sing<br />
Canterbury and West Coast competition <strong>2018</strong><br />
Burnside entered a total of 13 groups in the annual NZCT<br />
Chamber Music Contest this year, two of which were selected<br />
for the district, and subsequently, the regional final: RAQS<br />
(Hijiri Yamamoto, violin; Claudia Crosland, Alto Saxophone;<br />
Lixin Zhang, piano) and The Rota Trio (Ashley Leng, violin;<br />
Emica Taylor, flute; Tetsuya Yamada, piano). Maggie Ma (cello)<br />
and Juliette Ma (violin), both Burnside students also featured<br />
in the final as part of a composite school group.<br />
RAQS were successful in winning the Southern Regional Final<br />
overall, an outstanding achievement in this highly competitive<br />
contest.<br />
The Mendelssohn Trio (Lily Doak, Samantha Chiang and Cherry<br />
Inazumi) won a KBB award at the District Final of the contest.<br />
Ashburton Exchange<br />
Just over 130 students travelled to Ashburton to compete<br />
across seven sports and in 13 matches at the annual<br />
Winter Sports Ashburton College Exchange. The Sports<br />
Exchange has been a major and popular event on the<br />
school calendar for many years. In the past over 200<br />
students normally compete but this year the wetter<br />
weather played havoc with the grounds forcing football<br />
and rugby matches to be cancelled.<br />
Hayden Cox (Boys Hockey)<br />
Congratulations to Year 13 student Lixin Zhang, winner of last<br />
year’s Wallace Piano Competition, on the release of his first CD<br />
recording on the Rattle record label and for the stunning CD<br />
launch concert he performed at The Piano Centre for Music<br />
and the Arts.<br />
Finally, congratulations to Keira Jonkers (Year 11) and Dylan<br />
Jonkers (Year 9) for reaching the regional final of the<br />
RockQuest competition with their bands “Better than Bacon”<br />
and “Class Disruption”.<br />
Term 3 sees the national final stages of all three competitions;<br />
best wishes to all students and staff involved.<br />

The stakes are always high playing for pride and the<br />

snuck off with after a close battle winning 7 - 5. Burnside’s<br />
strength this year was in hockey with both the boys and<br />
girls teams winning convincingly 7-0 and 8-0 respectively.<br />
Principal Phil Holstein took full responsibility for the loss<br />
and offered to walk home from Ashburton!<br />
It was a very successful exchange with both schools<br />
continuing to build a strong relationship through sport.<br />

The Hub recognised at property awards<br />
THE HUB Hornby has won<br />
top accolades at the recent New<br />
Zealand Property Council<br />
awards.<br />
The shopping centre received<br />
the award of excellence in the<br />
best in retail category, to recognise<br />
its transformation into a<br />
mall of regional significance.<br />
Judging criteria includes<br />
economic and financial factors,<br />
project innovation and<br />
vision, design and construction,<br />
owner and user satisfaction, and<br />
sustainability/efficiency<br />
of operation.<br />
A group of<br />
private investors<br />
bought The Hub<br />
Hornby 17 years<br />
Michael<br />
Keyse<br />
ago through<br />
Shopping Centre<br />
Investments Ltd.<br />
SCIL chairman<br />
Michael Keyse said the award<br />
was a wonderful way to celebrate<br />
the conclusion of its redevelopment.<br />
“This was the culmination<br />
of a period of long term<br />
development which has seen the<br />
transformation of a depleted<br />
shopping centre to a mall of<br />
regional significance to the<br />
Christchurch environment and<br />
influenced the establishment<br />
of the adjacent and extended<br />
Hornby retail precinct.”<br />
Keyse said that together with<br />
its private ownership, the Hub<br />
Hornby had several unique<br />
features, which set it apart from<br />
other centres.<br />
“The mall has a very strong<br />
community focus and this is<br />
highlighted by its involvement in<br />
local charities, and the presentation<br />
of interesting themes including<br />
the recent success of a pet’s<br />
night,” he said.<br />
The centre has changed dramatically<br />
since it first opened<br />
in 1976. At that time, it was the<br />
third major shopping complex<br />
in the city and the first fully enclosed<br />
and air-conditioned mall<br />
in the South Island.<br />
Since then, it has seen many<br />
changes with major expansions<br />
in the 1990s and most recently a<br />
$75 million multi-stage expansion<br />
that began in 2012 and was<br />
completed earlier last year.<br />
BUSY:<br />
The Hub<br />
Hornby<br />
attracts<br />
more than<br />
130,000<br />
shoppers<br />
weekly<br />
and<br />
won top<br />
accolades<br />
at the<br />
property<br />
awards.<br />
Today, more than 130,000 customers<br />
visit the centre each week.<br />
Keyse said the national award<br />
recognised and affirmed The<br />
Hub Hornby as one of a number<br />
of new and exciting developments<br />
that are now taking place<br />
within Christchurch.<br />
“The Hub Hornby is extremely<br />
proud that its contribution, based<br />
on self-help and local enterprise,<br />
was the very first of these construction<br />
initiatives.”<br />

more ratepayer money.<br />
There are only three options<br />
remaining. Not sure how<br />

National choir final<br />
beckons for Villa group<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
VILLA MARIA College choir<br />
Con Brio has been selected for<br />
The Big Sing national final.<br />
The choir is made up of 52 girls<br />
aged between 14 and 18 and will<br />
fly to Wellington for the final<br />
from August 30 to September 1.<br />
The Big Sing is a national<br />

until last week to<br />
find out they were<br />
selected to the<br />
finals.<br />
Villa Maria College choir director<br />
Naomi Hnat said they are<br />
a motivated group and “delightful”<br />
to work with.<br />
“In terms of goals for the finale,<br />
I always tell the girls that putting<br />
on a stunning performance<br />
which genuinely moves an audience<br />
is worth so much more than<br />
a high mark from an adjudicator.<br />
“We’re not aiming for a specific<br />
prize – we just hope to be able<br />
to put on some stunning performances<br />
that captivate the hearts<br />
and minds of those watching,”<br />
Ms Hnat said.<br />
They won outstanding performance<br />
of a contemporary<br />
art composition, outstanding<br />
performance of a contemporary/<br />

outstanding recital performance<br />

A TEAM of four pupils from<br />
Templeton School have made<br />
it to the Canterbury Epro8<br />
Challenge final.<br />
In the semi-final last week<br />
at Ashburton Borough School,<br />
Chloe Hurst, Ethan Kirkpatrick,<br />
Ben Bornholdt and James<br />
McIver had to complete four<br />
engineering problem-solving<br />
activities.<br />
The theme of the evening was<br />
rock bands.<br />
The pupils, competing under<br />
the team name Techno Templeton,<br />
scored 430 points, 10 points<br />
ahead of their nearest rivals<br />
Wakanui School.<br />
“(Pupils were) very nervous<br />
when the scores went black with<br />
1min to go (and) very excited<br />
after the drum roll and they<br />
were announced,” deputy principal<br />
Penny McCauley said.<br />
The Epro8 Challenge is an<br />
engineering problem-solving<br />
competition held across the<br />
country. More than 9000<br />
students from 800 schools take<br />

Kendrew hits 58 in Hillmorton’s first win<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
FILLED WITH emotion and<br />
a hot-hand, Hillmorton High<br />
School basketball captain Ihaia<br />
Kendrew stepped up in a big<br />
way.<br />
The 17-year-old, motivated by<br />
the imminent departure of his<br />
coach, former Canterbury Rams<br />
captain Marques Whippy, scored<br />
58 points to lead his team to<br />
their first win of the McDonald’s<br />
Thomson Trophy secondary<br />
school competition – a 91-83<br />
victory over Burnside. Kendrew,<br />
who lives in Halswell, broke two<br />
competition records in the clash,<br />
most points and most three<br />
pointers made with 11.<br />
“We spoke about needing to<br />
play hard, with pride and passion<br />
before the game,” Kendrew<br />
said. “Marques has done a lot for<br />
us and showed us how to be better<br />
players and how to be men.”<br />
Kendrew beat his previous<br />
best tally of 43, while moving<br />
his team to ninth overall after<br />
knocking over eighth placed<br />
Burnside.<br />
Kendrew scored 23 points in<br />
the first quarter but it wasn’t<br />
until he nailed three consecutive<br />
jump shots in the last two minutes<br />
that the game was safe.<br />
“Burnside came back at us, I<br />

MORE THAN 1600 primary and<br />
intermediate school students from<br />
more than 180 schools competed<br />
at the Primary Sports Canterbury<br />
cross-country championships at<br />
Halswell Quarry last week.<br />
Cashmere Primary School<br />
found plenty of success through<br />
three brothers.<br />
Finn Allott won the year 8 boys<br />
primary title in 10min 55.7sec<br />
and Joel and Will Allott finished<br />
first and second in the year 7 boys<br />
primary race, with Joel pipping<br />
Will by less than 5sec in a time of<br />
11min 17.4sec.<br />
Chisnallwood Intermediate runner<br />
Luke Johnston won the year 8<br />
boys intermediate race in a time of<br />
10min 50.3sec.<br />
think they were down by a point<br />
at that stage, so it was important<br />
to make some shots like that.”<br />
Kendrew said his team had<br />
struggled to foot-it in the top<br />
division after being promoted.<br />
“We are a small school so to be<br />
able to match up with the bigger<br />

schools and see how we match<br />
up has been good for us.”<br />
The point guard has been part<br />
of the Canterbury under-17 and<br />
under-19 set-ups in the past and<br />
said he’d like to chase a college<br />
scholarship in the United States<br />
next year.<br />
“Marques played college<br />
basketball there and he always<br />
spoke about the importance of<br />
education,” he said.<br />
“To go over there and have a<br />
new experience with really good<br />
players is something I would like<br />
to do.”<br />

HALSWELL’S ALFRED Wong<br />
used a little inside knowledge to<br />
secure his first badminton triple<br />
crown.<br />
The 41-year-old, who was<br />
unseeded in all events, defended<br />
his singles title before claiming<br />
the doubles and mixed doubles<br />
crowns at the Canterbury Open,<br />
beating many of the younger<br />
players he coaches in the process.<br />
Wong, who plays for the<br />
Canterbury University<br />
Badminton Club, came to<br />
Christchurch from Malaysia<br />
when he was 16. He said he had<br />
won more than 20 open titles<br />
during his lifetime in the sport<br />
but this was the first time he had<br />
won a triple crown.<br />
The former Canterbury No 1<br />
coaches four Canterbury teams,<br />
including the under-17 and<br />
division one Canterbury teams,<br />
and said that aided his cause.<br />
“I used a bit of inside<br />
knowledge,” he said. “Knowing<br />
certain players’ strengths and<br />
weaknesses helped me a lot.<br />
“Most of them had a laugh with<br />
me about it afterwards,” he said.<br />
“At 41, it wasn’t something that<br />
I thought was possible because<br />
SPORTS<br />
Triple badminton crown<br />
for Halswell 41-year-old<br />
it was a demanding weekend<br />
physically.<br />
Wong said he had no intention<br />
of trying to win all three events<br />
but, after he won the singles, a<br />
competitor had to pull out from<br />
the doubles.<br />
“One of the players got<br />
injured on the Friday night so I<br />
asked if I could fill in and they<br />
(competition organisers) agreed,”<br />
he said.<br />
Wong, who finished second in<br />
the World Masters Games over<br />
40s tournament in Auckland last<br />
year, said his body barely held up<br />
playing 14 matches in two days.<br />
After the singles on the Friday,<br />
I had bad leg cramps and, after<br />
winning the doubles on Saturday,<br />
I was more interested in keeping<br />
my body together for the mixed<br />
double rather than thinking<br />
about a triple crown,” he said.<br />
“I was happy with two titles.<br />
After claiming the singles,<br />
Wong partnered with Jonathon<br />
Smith to win the doubles and<br />
then Yuri Minigawa to claim the<br />
mixed doubles.<br />
“To win a triple crown is not<br />
something I expected to do at my<br />
age but it ranks as one of my best<br />
accomplishments,” he said.<br />
Jenkins follows path to<br />
US volleyball scholarship<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
A TOUR of the Riccarton<br />
High School gymnasium five<br />
years ago put volleyballer Jade<br />
Jenkins on a path to the United<br />
States.<br />
The 18-year-old, who lives<br />
in Halswell, has committed to<br />
a scholarship at Marshalltown<br />
Community College in Iowa.<br />
The New Zealand representative<br />
and former national<br />
under-19 captain said she was<br />
excited by the prospect of a new<br />
challenge.<br />
“It was a bit of a surprise to<br />
have it all confirmed but it’s an<br />
exciting time.”<br />
Jenkins described herself as “a<br />
pretty hardcore netballer” when<br />
she first started at Riccarton<br />
High School, but that soon<br />
changed.<br />
“We were getting a tour of the<br />
facilities on our first day and<br />
I knew Riccarton was pretty<br />
strong at volleyball so it was<br />
something I was thinking about<br />
giving a go.<br />
“I was the tallest year 9 there<br />
(1.79m) and when we walked<br />
through the PE department a<br />
teacher called Mary Edmondson<br />
came over and said ‘you<br />
must play volleyball’,” Jenkins<br />
said.<br />
Edmondson, a former New<br />
Zealand volleyball captain, has<br />
coached Jenkins ever since.<br />
“She (Edmondson) has been<br />
influential in my development<br />
right up until this point,” she<br />
said.<br />
Ironically, it was the coach<br />
of Riccarton High School’s<br />
biggest rival, Burnside High,<br />
who helped set up Jenkins with<br />
scholarship offers.<br />
“Sam Ryburn, the Burnside<br />
High coach, helped me a lot<br />
with the process and helped<br />
make my application video,” she<br />
said.<br />
Jenkins has thrived in a<br />
new position over the past 12<br />
months.<br />
She moved from middle<br />
hitter to outside hitter, which<br />
has allowed her to improve her<br />
passing game.<br />
“I moved there because (Riccarton<br />
High) didn’t have many<br />

Community College in Iowa.<br />
options at that position, but I’ve<br />
really enjoyed the differences in<br />
that spot and I hope I’ll get to<br />
stay there at Marshalltown.”<br />
The Iowa’s school’s junior<br />
college plays in the NCJAA<br />
division one competition.<br />
Marshalltown head volleyball<br />
coach Justin Hoskins said he<br />
was impressed with Jenkins’<br />
versatile nature.<br />
“Jade adds not only a lot<br />
of talent to our line-up, but<br />
also a lot of versatility and options<br />
to play different systems,”<br />
he says.<br />
“She has experience playing<br />
at a high level and will help add<br />
some leadership to our young<br />
team as well.”<br />
Jenkins will head there before<br />
the end of winter.<br />

are capable of making hard work a habit, in order to achieve to the best of<br />
our ability.<br />
On siting matters, the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch is investigating<br />
sites which could be suitable for our new school and is actively considering<br />
a number of options. We are excited about the future of Marian and are<br />
hopeful for a decision soon.<br />

MERCY CUP SPIRIT<br />
Teams of Marian College students<br />
competed in the Mercy Cup<br />
Tournament in Timaru recently. The<br />
annual winter event is held between six<br />
Catholic schools in the region and each<br />
take turns hosting. The schools send<br />
their best football, hockey and netball<br />
teams to compete and enjoy the spirit<br />
of competition, collegiality and shared<br />
Catholic special character and values.<br />
WELLBEING TEAM<br />
As winter settles in, the Marian<br />
College Student Wellbeing Team has<br />
been bringing sunshine and light into<br />
the school.<br />
The team includes students across all<br />
year levels and is headed by senior<br />
leaders Megan White and Mia Blyth.<br />
“Every week two girls pair up – a<br />
senior and junior student who might<br />
not know each other – and come up<br />
with a project drawn from the Hauora<br />
model of wellbeing,” Megan explains.<br />
“The topics are physical wellbeing,<br />
mental and emotional, as well as social<br />
and spiritual wellbeing.”<br />
Projects include signing a pledge<br />
t-shirt against bullying, stress-relieving<br />
colouring in activities, crafts a ‘shout<br />
out board’ where compliments are<br />
shared and a performance by the ‘I am<br />
Unbreakable’ world hip hop champion<br />
dance crew (pictured).<br />
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING<br />
We wanted a college that could meet the spiritual and cultural needs of our<br />
girls. We liked the sense of community, that expects and models caring for<br />
each other.<br />
Chris and Angela Rewha<br />
Marian offers a supportive and nurturing environment where our daughters<br />
are known and not lost in the crowd.<br />

BIG SING<br />
Marian College’s talented senior choir Messa Di Voce performed in the Big Sing<br />
- the secondary schools choral festival - at The Piano recently. Messa Di Voce<br />
received an award for outstanding performance of a Māori song – Tīhore Mai.<br />
At Marian our daughters have not only thrived academically, they’ve<br />
received a well-rounded education with a strong understanding of<br />
community and service.<br />

Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />
dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />
for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />
provided.<br />
Denise Lim has been involved with<br />
Snores for 22 years<br />
and has had a 98%<br />
success rate with<br />
people using the<br />
appliance. Snoring<br />
can be a health<br />
hazard, causing<br />
sleep apnoea, where<br />
the person actually<br />
stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause<br />
short-term memory<br />
loss, tiredness and<br />
contribute to high<br />
blood pressure.<br />
The Snorex<br />
device does not feel<br />
restrictive, is noninvasive<br />
and carries<br />
a money-back guarantee.<br />
Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />
and throat specialists, however, anyone<br />
can phone for an appointment.<br />

The tree of LIFE<br />
New research on Gingko<br />
Biloba excites researchers!<br />
For decades scientists believed brain<br />
damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />
was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />
not be repaired. In more recent times, new<br />
research has shown that neurons can grow<br />
back with the right conditions and that a<br />
special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761<br />
or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to<br />
assist in this. The implications for stroke<br />
recovery are obvious, but researchers also<br />
know many of us suffer from undetected<br />
“micro-strokes” that over a period of time<br />
slowly reduce<br />
our cognitive<br />
function.<br />
TEBONIN<br />
is prescribed<br />
worldwide<br />
as a natural<br />
supportive agent<br />
for a healthy brain<br />
and cognitive<br />
function.<br />
It supports<br />
healthy mental<br />
performance,<br />
concentration,<br />
focus, alertness,<br />
motor function<br />
and to help with<br />
many conditions<br />
including tinnitus<br />
(ringing and noise<br />
in the ears), vertigo and normal balance.<br />
TEBONIN improves micro-circulation<br />
and helps the blood flow reach those<br />
critical places it needs to get. It is a potent<br />
anti-oxidant and makes the red blood<br />
cells more pliable and capillary walls more<br />
flexible.<br />
TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />
studied and researched herbal products in<br />
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />
extract manufactured via a patented<br />
multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />
tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />
clinical dose without having to take a large<br />
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />
products on the market, and tested by a<br />
major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />
passed all five of the test requirements.<br />
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />
and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />
to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />
considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />
of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />
consumed each day.<br />

The importance of<br />
good blood pressure?<br />
Blood Pressure is an<br />
indicator of cardiovascular<br />
as well as overall health.<br />
Healthy blood flow is vital for<br />
a healthy body as the blood<br />
plasma transports nutrients,<br />
hormones, metabolic waste,<br />
oxygen and CO2 throughout<br />
the body. An area in the brain<br />
keeps check on blood flow<br />
to ensure health of all cells<br />
and the organs they make up.<br />
If blood flow is reduced the<br />
brain will try to normalise<br />
blood flow by adjusting the<br />
heart strength, frequency<br />
(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood<br />
vessels all via the central nervous system.<br />
Over a period of time the blood pressure<br />
may increase due to the deterioration of<br />
blood flow and other factors. A higher B/P<br />
is not ideal and is considered a major risk<br />
factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure<br />
and heart failure. Even moderate elevation<br />
of B/P is considered a major reason for<br />
shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain<br />
our B/P in the normal range our overall<br />
health will be improved. Systolic B/P (The<br />
upper figure) is when the heart contracts<br />
and pushes blood around the body. Ideally<br />
at rest this should be between 100 to 120.<br />
The diastolic B/P (The lower figure) is the<br />
pressure in the arteries between beats and<br />
ideally at rest this should be between 60<br />
to 70.<br />
how’s your blood pressure?<br />
Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more<br />
likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life<br />
expectancy. Checking your B/P on a regular basis with our easy to use B/P monitors allows you to make changes to your lifestyle,<br />
diet & nutrition when necessary.<br />

It has been found in around 90% of<br />
cases high blood pressure is caused by<br />
an increase in the resistance to blood<br />
flow in the blood vessels. It is believed<br />

stiffness of the blood vessels are major<br />
reasons for this increased resistance.<br />

many people have relocated to homes<br />
that suffer from rising damp which can be<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />
most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />
if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />
convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />
to press a button. But how do you decide what<br />
is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is<br />
key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore important<br />
to get professional advice from heat pump<br />
experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it<br />
is important to select the correct size for your<br />
requirements that will handle the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />
is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />
installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />
unit however this is not necessarily always<br />
the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands vary<br />
in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems<br />
and price, so it depends on your application as<br />
to which will be most suitable. Major brands<br />
such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,<br />
Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands<br />
backed up by good technical after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />
obligation quote and will come to your home<br />

knowing that your heat pump will last for<br />
