Page 3 Page 14 

HAD ENOUGH: Harewood resident Graeme Barber is tired of the effect large oak trees are having on his neighbourhood. 

Massive oak trees ‘must go’ 

ago, they were told by the reserve 

developer, “it won’t affect you.” 

Now, the trees in Pasadena Reserve 

are 16m tall, the equivalent 

height of a five-storey building, 

with a 15m spread.

of properties all over Christchurch.

proposal 


A SPLIT has emerged in a 

community board over a bid to 

extend alcohol restrictions. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board deputy 

chairman Aaron 

Campbell 

told Nor’West 

News last week 

he would like 

to see alcohol 

bans extended 

to include 

areas such as 

Elmwood Park, 

Sam MacDonald 

Roto Kohatu Reserve in Harewood, 

and McLeans Island. 

However, board chairman Sam 

MacDonald contacted Nor’West 

News to say other members on the 

board, including himself, do not 

support Mr Campbell’s view. 

Mr MacDonald believes the board 

needs to be careful about becoming 

a “nanny-state” to residents and 

“imposing unnecessary and 

punitive rules when there doesn’t 

appear to be an issue.” 

“He is entitled to his view, but 

that would mean taking away the 

right for people who play touch 

on Elmwood Park and have a 

social beer, it would be restricting 

that kind of stuff,” said Mr 

MacDonald. •Turn to page 5

from the editor’s desk 

I GET the feeling there is a bit of 

competition brewing between Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community Board 

chairman Sam MacDonald and the board 

deputy Aaron Campbell (page 1). 

The spark was Campbell’s views in 

Nor’West News last week on an alcohol ban. 

MacDonald was quick to let us know it wasn’t his or other 

board members’ views. Nothing wrong with that of course. 

MacDonald points out an alcohol ban at Elmwood Park could 

have an impact on sports people. 

There is an election coming in 2019 and I’ll bet both 

MacDonald and Campbell - who come form different political 

backgrounds - will put their hands-up to make it onto full 

council. Testy times ahead?

$25k more for Redwood Plunket rooms 

Asbestos and 

black mould 

discovered 


ASBESTOS AND “significant” 

black mould has been found 

in the earthquake-damaged 

Redwood Plunket rooms, 

increasing the cost of the repair 

project by $25,000. 

The repair work was originally 

planned to be finished at the 

end of June, but has now been 

pushed back to November. 

In June last year, Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel questioned whether 

repairing the old 

building was in 

the city council’s 

best interests. 

She said it was a 

challenge to make 

the decision to 

Lianne 

Dalziel 

grant a further 

$45,000 for the 

project, which was 

originally budgeted at $30,000, 

as the city council was not 

provided with a detailed report. 

Ms Dalziel said the repairs 

would only get the building to 

67 per cent of the new building 

standard. 

“It will still be old, still be 

MORE PROBLEMS: The refurbishment of the Redwood Plunket Rooms has hit more speed 

bumps meaning a delay to the completion date and further costs. 

unimproved, and still be poorly 

insulated. It has old services and 

contains significant inherent 

maintenance issues,” she said. 

However, Ms Dalziel said those 

comments were made during 

a debate when further funding 

was granted for the repairs under 

an amendment to the Annual 

Plan that was not accompanied 

by a staff report and the detailed 

options.

A city council spokeswoman 

said Ms Dalziel’s view was not 

supported, but in her role as 

mayor she supports the decision 

that was made. 

An extra $25,000 is required to 

remove the asbestos and mould, 

bringing the budget to $100,000. 

A city council spokesman said 

the process to get a contractor 

has been delayed due to the 

initial cost coming in over the 

project’s budget allocation. 

Once started the project is 

expected to take three months 

to complete. The building will 

be home to a social worker, who 

is funded by the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board, and a 

community gathering space. 

When applying for additional 

funding, the community board 

said the facility was desperately 

needed in the area.

A school bus parking space may

The school principal approached

There is no dedicated school bus

Debris from trees 

cause residents anguish 

•From page 1 

“These trees are depressing 

for us due to the shading and 

litter over many months of the 

year. Four neighbours . . . have 

to cope with copious quantities 

of leaves, acorns and seedlings 

generated by these oaks.” 

However, city council staff 

have told Mr Barber that the 

trees are “perfectly healthy” but 

he believes they need to look at 

the bigger picture. 

Mr Barber said the reserve 

department has a strong priority 

to protect trees. 

“I’m dealing with people who 

are placing trees in higher priority 

than people . . . yes, that’s 

their job and no one wants to see 

healthy trees cut down but when 

they’re the height of a five-level 

building, there is a problem.” 

Pasadena Pl resident Inez 

Stevens purchased her home 12 

years ago, when the trees were 

much smaller, she said. 

Now, the 91-year-old said she 

has spent hundreds of dollars 

paying a gardener to deal with 

the leaves and someone else to 

clear her gutters. 

She fears for her health and is 

afraid she may roll or break an 

ankle, due to the acorns littered 

on her property. 

Following a complaint to 

council last year regarding the 

continual noise of acorns landing 

on their roof, contractors 

removed 5m branches overhanging 

onto their property. 

In his recent submission to the 

community board, Mr Barber 

asked when the rights and wellbeing 

of people over shadow the 

rights of healthy trees. 

“That wrong decision needs to 

be corrected by the removal of 

these six trees. Something that’s 

fit with context . . . the council 

staff I have spoken to and the 

community board agreed that 

trees like that wouldn’t be 

planted in a reserve of this size 

these days,” he said. 

City council acting manager 

operations Ryan Rolston said 

council now has a set of guidelines 

in its infrastructure design 

standards, which assist in tree 

selection. 

“It is unlikely council would 

introduce this species of oak 

presently unless requested by 

residents.” 

Mr Rolston said the trees are 

healthy and protected by the 

Christchurch District Plan. 

“Consequently, council staff 

have no reason to pursue their 

removal.”

CHRISTCHURCH 

STARTING 20 AUGUST 2018 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

COASTAL AND Burwood 

wards councillors David East and 

Glenn Livingstone have pledged 

to fight against the annual New 

Brighton fireworks event being 

taken away from the pier. 

They say they will work hard 

to retain the New Brighton Guy 

Fawkes in the area. 

It comes after the event has 

come under scrutiny from the 

city council as part of a city wide 

review of all council- run events. 

It confirmed last week the 

event would go ahead in November, 

and if there were to be 

any changes, they would not be 

implemented this year. 

Cr East said he would be debating 

strongly and working hard to 

persuade other city councillors of 

the merit and worth of retaining 

a display on the coast. 

He said the items he would be 

stressing is the event makes for 

great viewing, all fireworks land 

in the sea, making it easy to clean 

up and no one is at risk of being 

hit, he said. 

“This has been an integral part 

of the event programme of the 

east,” he said. 

Cr Livingstone said the fireworks 

should stay. 

“The question has been raised 

before over safety concerns but 

my view is wherever you hold 

the fireworks there is going to be 

safety concerns that need to be 

addressed anyway.” 

He said he suspects council 

would be faced with a unanimous 

resolution from the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board to 

keep the event where it is. 

City council community 

support, governance and partnerships 

John Filsell said last 

week for a number of years it 

has received feedback on traffic 

management congestion. 

But Cr East said while there is 

difficulties for traffic exiting the 

event, the east has been compounded 

by ongoing roadworks.

While there has been strong 

opposition to the event moving 

away, there have been mixed 

views over whether it should be 

celebrated at Guy Fawkes. 

Cr East suggested the event was 

held on Canterbury Anniversary 

Day or Waitangi Day. 

“Guy Fawkes has little significance 

to New Zealand and I would 

actually like to see a fireworks 

display continue on the coast and 

perhaps rebranded,” he said.

Chlorine removed from north-west water 

• By Julia Evans 

NEARLY 30,000 people in the 

north-west of the city are now 

drinking unchlorinated water. 

Remedial works have been 

completed and chlorination at 

the Burnside and Farrington 

pump stations has now stopped. 

But city council water supply 

improvements manager Helen 

Beaumont said it would only be 

possible to keep these stations 

chlorine-free during low water 

demand – such as winter. 

“Where the demand exceeds 

the amount of water, we can deliver 

from secure wells then the 

bores with below ground well 

heads will need to be brought 

Board chiefs spar over alcohol ban proposal 

•From page 1 

He said the matter has not 

yet been discussed by the board 

and a date has not been set for a 

submissions committee to convene. 

However, Mr Campbell said 

the current alcohol ban in 

Merivale, which could be extended, 

is a night-time ban only, 

so that wouldn’t be an issue. 

“You aren’t going to be calling 

the cops on people having a barbecue 

and quiet beer . . . it’s up to 

police to use their judgement to 

enforce,” he said. 

“It doesn’t have to be a fine, they 

can confiscate the alcohol or give 

them a verbal warning. No everyone’s 

going to be hoarded off and 

handcuffed, I think the nannystate 

comment is dismissive and 

not quite cognitive of what the 

idea of the measure might be.” 

Board member Shirish Paranjape 

said he would like to discuss 

the matter together with the 

board before commenting on it. 

Waimairi Ward councillor 

Raf Manji said he has not seen 

any formal report on the matter, 

back into service and chlorination 

would resume at that pump 

station,” Ms Beaumont said. 

She said the high demand 

period for water is generally 

November to the end of March. 

But a water conservation pro-

gramme may run in a bid to 

continue minimising the need 

for chlorination where possible. 

The city council is working 

through the same process at a 

further five pump stations, to 

stop chlorination in further 

but it doesn’t appear as “a pressing 

issue for those parks and 

reserves.” 

Fendalton Ward councillor 

Jamie Gough said he agrees Mr 

MacDonald and is surprised 

Mr Campbell would express his 

views before the board had a 

formal or informal discussion 

about it. 

However, board member 

David Cartwright said he wasn’t 

aware of any huge issues in the 

areas, if the police were to come 

to the board about any, he would 

parts of the north-west, central 

and Ferrymead zones. 

That would mean another 

52,0000 people will have untreated 

water this month, affecting 

17,500 households in the 

north-west, 6000 in the northeast 

and 3700 in Woolston. 

“Once the chlorination has 

ceased at the seven pump stations 

where the below ground well 

heads can be isolated, the proportion 

of water without chlorination 

will increase from approximately 

5 per cent to approximately 24 per 

cent,” said Ms Beaumount. 

Three pump stations in Prestons 

and New Brighton, servicing 

7500 households, avoided 

chlorination altogether. 

be the first to move the motion. 

“My view is that it’s not 

required right now but I’m not 

totally ruling it off the table.” 

Mr Cartwright said McLeans 

Island has proved to be a problematic 

area previously, for boy 

racer activities, which have attracted 

police attention. 

City council is proposing 

a new alcohol ban by-law to 

replace the Alcohol Restrictions 

in Public Places Bylaw 2009 

which will automatically expire 

in December.

STREET WISE is providing 

help of a different kind to the 

city’s homeless. 

Merivale’s River Jayden 

helped found the charity three 

months ago while working as 

a building apprentice in the 

central city. 

It provides food, clothes and 

advocacy for those sleeping 

rough. 

“We’ve been going for three 

months and it’s been pretty full 

on,”said Ms Jayden, who is the 

charity’s chairwoman. 

“We give the guys coffee, 

cakes, chats. It’s the fun stuff 

mainly, but through that we 

can also find out about their 

situation and refer them on to 

housing programmes or drug 

and alcohol support.” 

While homelessness is 

“definitely” a big problem in the 

central city, there is a less visible 

homeless population living on 

the outskirts which people may 

be less aware of, Ms Jayden said. 

“It’s those sleeping on 

couches, in garages, in cars. It’s 

a massive issue – 41,000 people 

experience homelessness in 

New Zealand. Of them, most 

are living with whanau and 

friends in overcrowded homes.” 

She said a small percentage of 

homeless people sleep on the 

street. 

Funding to support the work 

Street Wise does is tight, but Ms 

Jayden said “there are creative 

ways to find the money to do 

these projects. I’m confident we 

can make it happen. We have a 

good amount of support from 

investors.” 

A community pot luck for 

homeless whanau was held 

at non-profit cafe Exchange 

Christchurch on Saturday. 

The function, called 

Everybody Eats provided free 

haircuts, barista training, 

care packages and baking, 

motivational speakers, dinner 

and an open jam session. 

Ms Jayden said she eventually 

wanted Street Wise to provide 

a transitional facility to support 

people to move into permanent 

housing.

Merivale woman gives homeless a chance 

Burnside students vie for spelling bee titles 

FIVE BURNSIDE High School 

students will attempt to gain a 

spot in the national spelling bee 

grand-final today. 

Top spellers from around the 

central and upper South Island 

have travelled to Christchurch 

to compete at the regional semifinal. 

Now in its 14 th year, the 

New Zealand Spelling Bee is a 

competitive spelling event aimed 

at encouraging year 0-10 students 

to improve their knowledge of 

the English language, as well as

their spelling capabilities, comprehension

skills. 

The year 9 and 10 students 

competing today earned their 

places out of a field of hundreds 

of spellers from more than 100 

secondary schools and colleges 

around the country. 

The competition began with 

a written classroom test, which 

found the top 200 spellers in the 

country to go head-to-head in six 

regional semi-finals.

The top three students from 

each region will then compete for 

the title of New Zealand Spelling 

Bee champion at the national 

final in Wellington on November 

3. The winner will receive the 

Spelling Bee Trophy and $5000 

to put towards their academic 

studies. 

Founder Janet Lucas started 

the competition in 2005 after 

being inspired by Spellbound, 

a documentary film about the 

United States-based Scripps National 

Spelling Bee. The calibre of 

spellers improves every year, said 

Ms Lucas. She cites a nail-biting 

final last year which she describes 

as “the toughest and longest competition 

we have ever had”. 

“The talent is stronger than 

ever, and I can’t wait to find the 

best spellers . . . the New Zealand 

Spelling Bee is fiercely competitive 

in a fun way. It’s a sport with 

an intellectual focus – students 

train hard and prepare to compete, 

which is clear to see from 

Gavin Topp 

Gail Ker 


the excellent results.” 

The competition has grown 

significantly since 2014, when 

the Wright Family Foundation 

became the programme’s sole 

sponsor. About 800 primary 

schools and intermediate schools 

now sign up for the programme 

every year. Pusillanimous was 

the winning word at last year’s 

national final, meaning ‘lacking 

in courage.’ The national final 

was won by St Margaret’s College 

student Lucy Jessep.

Readers respond to a 

story about Ilam MP Gerry 

Brownlee joining the 

battle to get the Breens/ 

Harewood/Gardiners Rds 

intersection upgraded to 

lights and wants NZTA to 

fund part of the upgrade 

Gary Knight – In spite of 

opposing views by some, the 

installation of traffic lights at 

the 10-lane convergence of the 

Breens Rd, Gardiners Rd and 

Harewood Rd intersection would 

be a pro-active step. Placed at 

94 of the 100 most dangerous 

Christchurch intersections, and 

at close proximity to Breens 

Intermediate and other schools 

within a 1km distance heralds 

the priority for these lights. Planning 

roles of NZTA encompasses 

investment in transport activities 

inclusive of local New Zealand 

roads. This would therefore 

surely deem funding for this 

electronic installation to be the 

sole responsibility of this crown 

entity as opposed to inclusion of 

revenue from any long-term city 

council plan. Within this context 

and condoned by Aaron Keown 

and Gerry Brownlee, the installation 

of lights at this volatile 

intersection should be sanctioned 

from a safety community perspective. 

Ross Smith – Don’t let 

Brownlee near it, It will end up 

costing billions. 

Tiffany Cavanaugh – The 

intersection does not have the 

traffic through it to merit a light. 

Roundabout maybe, but certainly 

not a light. 

Grace Frame – Should’ve 

been there ages ago. 

Steve Burge – He’s fighting 

for traffic lights? Shame he let so 

many people down with their 

houses. 

Damian Elley – Sorry Gerry, 

we don’t have money for that, we 

are still trying to sort our houses 

and roads after the mess you 

left – thanks. 

Carolyn Fifield – Anywhere 

there are right-hand turns across 

two lanes of traffic and into two 

lanes of traffic needs lights. Given 

the upgrade of the Northern expressway 

which feeds traffic onto 

Gardiners Rd, and especially 

in morning peak-hour traffic 

when the expressway is back up 

1km or more and when children 

are going to school. There is a 

greater need at this intersection 

than Gardiners/Sawyers Arms 

intersection. 

Nicholas Smeaton – I had 

to go through that intersection 

yesterday, I didn’t even try, I 

turned left and then hung a right 

into Leacroft St. Why Sawyers 

Arms/Gardiners received lights 

and Harewood/Breens, Gardiners 

didn’t, is a mystery to me, 

perhaps a councillor or high level 

city council manager lived near 

the Sawyers/Gardiners intersection?

new enrolment zone for 

Shirley Boys’ and Avonside 

Girls’ High Schools 

Vicki Ware – Prestons is 

closer to Mairehau than QE 

II, they weren’t included in the 

zone. The school runs their own 

zoning every three years I believe 

they could include at that stage, 

the zone is not well thought out. 

South Brighton is included which 

is further away than the school 

original zone and Prestons. MoE 

have failed everyone doing a consulting 

through a school holiday 

period and wasn’t well publicised 

to the area. We were given options 

of Mairehau and Haeata. 

Prestons have Mairehau not far at 

all. This was a closure by stealth 

and a new high school should 

be built in Richmond. There are 

lots of feeder schools here that 

will suffer due to no definite high 

school options. 

Don Gould – Simply no 

engagement from the MoE on 

this issue with the community. 

Where is the data from the MoE 

that these calls are being made 

on? What is the plan for schooling 

for the southern area around

Winder of Redwood parking

Elite Meats Bush Inn coming 

out each week. Always happy to 

discuss your needs and take an 

order for pick-up the next week. 

Keep up the fab work Corey and 

team. 

Rae Lentz – As a regular 

at the Bush Inn shop, I cannot 

recommend this butcher highly 

enough. Gluten-free sausages 

and smallgoods, pre-seasoned/ 

marinated meats . . . pretty much 

everything is coeliac safe except 

for the crumbed items. (And I 

live in hope that Elite Meats Bush 

Inn do a deal with Fogdog for the 

crumbs they use). 

Lynda Whitlow – Corey is a 

fabulous butcher, we used to go 

to his shop before the quakes on 

Papanui/Main North Rd. 

Aaron Campbell – This 

was common on the coast, I still 

remember Burrows Butchers’ 

green Bedford truck coming to 

the house. 

Ole ‘Milton’ Hansen – Awesome 

butcher. Love what he produces 

and sells at Bush Inn. We 

travel right across the city to buy 

his meat. 

Jonathan Andrews – Like 

the good old days when the fresh 

fish truck would come around. 

Kathleen Chase – Great 

butcher, best meat ever. 

Tania Watson – Great idea, 

should come out Pegasus way. 

Vanessa Davidson – Fantastic. 

Adam Smith – Well done 

Corey and Paula. 

Helen Jolly – Great news for 

Rolly. 

Phoebe Thompson – It’s 

awesome. 

Edna Morrison – Had a mobile

respectful. Often on a nice day I 

enjoy a quiet beer when reading 

my book in a park. 

Saar Vl – Unfortunately the 

behaviour of a few people means 

those who want to enjoy a drink 

on a family picnic or barbecue

IMPORTANT: In this week’s Soapbox, a community board member discusses 

transparency around the interactive touch wall for Tūranga, Christchurch’s new 

central library. 

Transparency in spending 

is vitally important 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board member Shirish 

Paranjape talks about 

transparency in 

governance 

TRANSPARENCY is 

one of the prime tenets in 

governance, including local 

governance. 

Transparency is a very 

broad subject and can 

include transparency in 

decision-making as well as 

transparency in spending. 

Transparency in spending 

is critically important, 

particularly when it is 

someone else’s money. 

As a country, New 

Zealand can be justifiably 

proud of its reputation 

globally. If we look at the 

indices published annually 

by Transparency International, 

New Zealand has 

consistently been among 

the top three. In 2017, New 

Zealand had the No 1 position. 

However, if we go by the 

happenings around us, the 

city of Christchurch will 

perhaps not be a contender 

for any such high ranking 

for transparency. Sadly, 

more than once, the city 

council has come under 

fire for not being transparent. 

It is always a sorry state 

of affairs when taxpayers 

or ratepayers have to knock 

the doors of the Ombudsman 

against a city council. 

Even worse when the directives/recommendations 

issued by the Ombudsman 

are ignored by the city 

council, and the Ombudsman 

has to knock on the 

doors of the Attorney- 

General to step in. 

Without going through 

who is right, who is wrong 

– those in public offices, including 

the employed staff 

and elected members of 

city council – must recognise 

that if they are hiding 

something – intentionally 

or otherwise – things will 

catch up sooner or later. 

Also, full/more transparency 

ought to be exercised 

particularly when the price 

of the item is high, or the 

“value” is subjective. For 

example, a million dollar 

spend on a piece of art will 

always incur more public 

scrutiny than the same 

amount spent on a roading 

or pumping project. 

The worst thing those 

in office can do is either to 

hide behind “commercial 

sensitivity” or delay, block 

or ignore requests. 

Chances are, if one is 

hiding something, something 

is not right. 

One can only hope 

that the digital wall was 

an isolated incident with 

city council, and that the 

authorities will not act as a 

wall in future, figuratively 

speaking.

Readers respond to 

a proposal to move 

a bus stop 150m on 

Innes Rd, meaning 

up to eight nearby 

businesses could lose 

their parking 

Jo Kirwan – Definitely 

a safety issue having the 

bus stop so close to the 

school and way too close to 

the pedestrian crossing too. 

As a parent of a child at 

Mairehau Primary, I hope 

people rethink this move. 

Jan Driscoll – Typical 

idiocy from the planners 

. . . they don’t have a 

clue, hope to heavens the 

business owners get it 

stopped. 

Trevor Taylor – 

Council doesn’t care. It will 

say, the shoppers should be 

riding a bike or taking the 

bus, not driving evil cars. 

Aaron Campbell – At 

the top end of Innes Rd they 

are moving two houses so it 

is closer to a walk through, 

just goes to show how lazy 

and stupid this council really 

is. The new proposed bus 

stop is outside an elderly 

person’s property who I 

mow lawns for and she is 

outraged, and rightly so, 

come on council sharpen up. 

I don’t know the cost to shift 

a bus stop but I wouldn’t 

have thought it would be a 

cheap exercise, just another 

way this council is wasting 

ratepayers hard-earned 

money. 

Don Gould – Catch 

the playback of yesterday’s 

council meeting. Community 

board isn’t keeping up 

with events happening in 

their area. These bus issues 

aren’t even hitting their 

radar. Lianne Dalziel had 

more than a few interesting 

comments to make.

StAC footballer off to Sydney FC 

RISING STAR: St Andrew’s College footballer Riley Caswell is 

off to train with Sydney FC. 

ST ANDREW’S College 

footballer Riley Caswell is one of 

two Christchurch United stars 

set to get an invaluable taste of 

professional football at Sydney 

FC, the glamour club in the 

A-League. 

Caswell and St Thomas’ Hamish 

Cooper, who both turned 17 

last month but already play for 

the Christchurch United first 

team, have been invited to train 

with the Sydney club. Sydney FC 

were last season’s A-League minor 

premiers and losing finalists 

and won the A-League in 2017. 

The opportunity arose through 

the contacts of Christchurch 

United head coach Fernando 

Lambert who coached at Manly 

United in Sydney for five years. 

Lambert also spent four months 

as an apprentice coach at Sydney 

FC with Robert Stanton, who 

runs the club’s first team and 

young league side. 

Lambert says that both players 

have a big potential and the 

Yaldhurst-based Christchurch 

United wants to give its players 

the best opportunities to 

develop. 

“This may not be ideal for 

our club as they will miss a few 

games, but our club is focused 

on developing great players for 

the future and for New Zealand 

football, and not just looking at 

short-term results,” said Lambert. 

“This trip to Sydney will show 

our youngsters the next level 

they need to be aiming for and 

what is required in a professional 

environment.” 

Caswell headed over on 

Sunday to train with the Sydney 

first team, which is the feeder 

team for the A-League squad and 

regularly trains with the club’s 

superstars. 

The central defender feels he 

has earned this opportunity with 

his performances in Christchurch 

United’s first team. 

“I’m definitely excited and 

slightly nervous, but I’m grateful 

to have the opportunity to 

travel across to Australia,” said 

Caswell. 

SPORTS 

“It is a great opportunity to experience 

what football is like in 

other countries and to compete 

against top players” 

Cooper will go over the following 

week to spend a fortnight 

with the Sydney FC academy 

squad. The right fullback is 

grateful to Christchurch United 

and coach Fernando Lambert for 

giving him first-team experience 

at 16 and to open the doors to 

overseas opportunities. 

“The move to Christchurch 

United had definitely paid off 

because I am not sure if I would 

have had those opportunities at 

my previous club,” says Hamish 

who is pursuing a career in football, 

as player or coach. 

“At Sydney FC, I want to compare 

myself to the other players 

my age in Australia to see where 

I need to improve,” said Cooper. 

Late goal seals game for St Andrew’s College 

• By Jacob Page 

THE ST Andrew’s College first 

XI boys hockey team used a 

transplanted Timaruvian to take 

the Connetic Challenge Shield 

from Timaru Boys’ High School, 

on Wednesday. 

Former Timaru primary 

and intermediate hockey star, 

Harrison Darling scored the 

lone goal of the game with two 

minutes to play. 

The win also helped St 

Andrew’s earn a semi-final spot 

in the Canterbury secondary 

school competition. 

The shield was introduced 

at the start of the season and 

initially given to Christ’s College 

as champions before TBHS won 

it off them. 

St Andrew’s coach Ben Owers 

said it was a thrilling game 

against a quality team. 

“It looks like both teams will 

make the semi-finals and (TBHS) 

had a goal disallowed so it was a 

very good game,” he said. 

Owers said having a maximum 

of three more games in the 

competition would be beneficial. 

We even pulled off our goalie 

in search for the goal which is 

always good to try for when we 

might need it at Rankin.” 

The Rankin Cup is the top 

tier national secondary school 

tournament and is the pinnacle 

of the secondary school season. 

“It’s a tough tournament, not 

just with the quality of teams but 

the need to play seven games in 

six days.” 

St Andrew’s will play St Bede’s 

on Friday in the final match of 

the season where the shield is on 

the line. 

The Rankin Shield tournament 

will be held at Blake Park in Mt 

Maunganui from September 

3 to September 8 with Owers 

believing his team had the 

chance to go deep into the 

play-offs if their fitness was 

maintained. 

WINNERS: St Andrew’s College first XI hockey team won the Connetic Challenge Shield 1-0 

from Timaru Boys’ High School on Wednesday. The Shield is the equivalent of rugby’s Ranfurly 

Shield. 

FREE digital media course, with NCEA built in 

ADVERTORIAL 

For those looking for a role that combines 

artistic and digital talents, then this outstanding, 

FREE, entry level course has just been announced 

by local Training Provider Trainme, for those

much into digital technology.” 

“This FREE six-month Trainme course, combines

Special medal for successful golfer 

WINNER: Waimairi Beach golfer, Allison Doell will 

be presented with the Coronation Medal after she 

won the national links competition for 2018. 


HAREWOOD resident 

Allison Doell was 

surprised as anyone when 

she won the Coronation 

Medal. 

The medal was presented 

to the New Zealand 

Ladies Golf Union by 

the Ladies Golf Union in 

1907 to commemorate 

the Coronation of King 

Edward VII. 

The medal, first played 

for in 1908, is a silver division 

award in the national 

home links competition. 

It is played for by women 

Phen Day Dhargyey Ling (Tibetan) 

- ‘A Centre for the Source of Benefit and 

Happiness’ is the meaning of the name given 

by the esteemed lama Lhagon Rinpoche. 

The Christchurch people have the wonderful opportunity to engage in Tibetan Buddhist 

philosophy and tradition with the local resident spiritual ‘friend’, as he likes to be referred 

as, Venerable Geshe Nyima Dorje (Geshe-la). 

The Christchurch Centre was started due 

to requests made to have a highly qualified 

authentic Tibetan Buddhist teacher 

residing in the city and carrying out weekly 

teachings, meditation classes and retreats. 

Fulfilling this request Geshe-la now teaches 

every Tuesday night and Sunday morning. 

• Geshe-la graduated from the largest 

Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the 

world, Sera Monastic University 

in South India. His main teachers 

included His Holiness the Dalai Lama, 

the late Venerable Khensur Urgyen 

Tseten, Venerable Khensur Kangurwa 

Lobsang Thupten and Venerable 

Khenpo Lobsang Palden. 

• Geshe-la arrived in New Zealand in 

2008 teaching originally in Dunedin 

then through requests moved to 

Christchurch 2011, ever since proving 

to be lively and entertaining, fresh 

and eloquent. Certainly he is very 

experienced, having taught younger 

monks in the monastery, in his home 

region of Tibet and for 3 years in 

the traditionally Tibetan-Buddhist 

country of Mongolia. Having Geshela 

to teach in Christchurch therefore, 

is quite a wonderful opportunity for 

people to make a deep connection 

with age-old teachings. 

• At the Centre Geshe-la’s classes focus 

on understanding the mind, mind 

training and meditation practices.

ADVERTORIAL 

Meditation & Mind Training; 

• How to generate love, compassion, 

generosity and patience. The purpose 

is to create a peaceful mind. When 

our mind is disturbed it lacks love, 

compassion and patience. If we know 

how to generate these qualities we 

can create a more peaceful mind. We 

have accustomed our minds more to 

disturbances. We know that as we can 

see how easy it is to become angry and 

how much effort is needed to remain 

patient. Familiarisation is the key. 

Also if we apply our understanding 

to our own situation; we need to 

be loved and if we need this then it 

is fair to say others also want to be 

loved. If we generate this to others 

then we gain the benefits, as we then 

receive love and compassion. ‘Others’ 

mean all beings, if we have this 

mental expansion there are enormous 

benefits. 

• As long as we have strong compassion 

we have more patience, from this we 

don’t get angry as quickly or as easily 

then we have peace of mind. 

• The Mind Training constitutes these 

kinds of practices, learning and 

practicing how to become acquainted 

with these qualities of mind, so that 

arises spontaneously, or at least are 

generated more easily. 


A FAMILY visit to 

England has earned former 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School squash player, Joe 

Williams a national callup. 

The 22-year-old will 

represent New Zealand for 

the first time at the World 

University Squash Championships 

in Birmingham, 

England, in September. 

Williams will be one of 

four Kiwi players at the 

event and the only one 

from the South Island. 

He took up squash when 

he started boarding at 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School and now plays for 

the Lincoln University club 

where he has just completed 

studying. 

It was a far cry from the 

sheep and beef farm he 

grew up on a sheep and 

beef farm in Little Akaloa 

and is hoping to one day 

run it himself. 

“At home the nearest 

squash court was over an 

hour away,” he said. 

“CBHS was also very 

good at squash during the 

time I was there with Paul 

Coll (current world No 10), 

the head boy at Adam’s 

House where I boarded 

when I first started.” 

Both his parents played 

squash socially and that 

motivated him to give it 

a go. 

“I wasn’t much of a fan of 

football or rugby,” he said. 

“I quickly fell in love 

with the sport and after a 

few low level junior tournaments 

and I started to 

take it more seriously when 

Paul McFadzien offered to 

coach me. 

“My first memory of 

SPORTS 

with a handicap between 

0-18. 

The competition is a 

compilation of national 

club results where women’s 

golfers play on their 

home turf, and their score 

is adjusted to account for 

their playing handicap 

before being compared to 

other players, both in the 

district and nationally. 

Doell’s Waimairi Beach 

Golf Club played its 

Coronation Medal round 

in April and she shot 81, 

which was adjusted to a 63 

nett. 

Now that all other 

participating clubs have 

played their round, Doell 

was crowned the winner, 

something she was elated 

about. 

“To be honest I’d forgotten 

about it and when 

I saw the email come 

through I thought it was 

an award the whole club 

had won and it wasn’t until 

I received another email 

I read that it was for me,” 

she said. 

“It’s an amazing feeling, 

like winning lotto.” 

Doell, who plays off an 

eight handicap when on 

form, will be presented 

with the medal later this 

year at the end of the 

season. 

Doell, who lives in Harewood 

has been playing at 

the Waimairi Beach club 

for more than 35 years after 

she moved to Christchurch 

from Cheviot to work 

in the city. 

She said while she only 

gets to play once a week, 

she said it was a privilege 

to play a good or bad 

round. 

“I don’t practice often,” 

she said. “When I have 

squash would have to be 

playing against my family 

at Squashways, particularly 

playing my Dad who beat 

me easily,” he said. 

“I have never beaten 

him as he gave up before I 

could.” 

A trip England to visit 

relatives offered him the 

chance to pull on the silver 

fern. 

“In finishing my B.Ag, I 

decided that I would like 

to go overseas to England 

to visit my mother’s half of 

the family and experience 

the high level of squash 

played in England. 

“New Zealand Squash 

time to play that’s what I 

love to do. 

“When I shot that round 

of 81, I couldn’t wait to get 

back out on the course and 

play again,” she said. 

“Even when it’s not going 

well, I’m still grateful 

for the chance to have 

some exercise and walk in 

the sun and I often think 

of all the ladies I used to 

play with who can’t play 

golf any more and I think 

I’m lucky.” 

Doell said while there 

were many closer golf 

courses to her home, she 

would always remain loyal 

to Waimairi Beach. 

“The club has been good 

to me and even through 

the earthquakes we still 

have a very nice course out 

there with great people,” 

she said. 

“It’s a very technical 

course and one that requires 

a lot of thought and 

skill and that’s what I like.” 

Chance call-up for squash player 

NZ REP: Former CBHS squash player Joe Williams 

will represent New Zealand at the World University 

Squash Championships in Birmingham, England in 

September. 

advertised about these 

championships being on 

in Birmingham and I was 

more than keen to play as 

I may never get a chance 

to play in a world event 

again.” 

Williams had no expectation 

on how he will go in 

the event. 

“Since I do not know the 

standard of people playing 

in the event I can not say, 

although being able to play 

squash in Yorkshire has 

already started to improve 

my game and fitness, so 

I’m hoping I can surprise 

myself by doing quite well,” 

he said.

Bishopdale Village Mall NEWS 

Chairwoman of the Bishopdale Business 

Association Amanda Nuttall talks about 

upcoming changes to the area... 

We recently had the BBA annual meeting. 

The main news from that is we have 

decided to call ourselves Bishopdale Village 

and we have a new logo. 

There has been a lot of discussion about 

what we are and what we are not – with the 

carparks and outdoor area being owned by 

city council, numerous landlords leasing to 

individual businesses and being a mix of 

retail and services, we are quite unique. 

Our strapline – The heart of your 

community – this emphasises that we 

are central to the wider community of 

Bishopdale and the surrounding area.

from Development Christchurch Ltd. 

This is a company owned by the city 

council with the mandate to help plan and 

implement the redevelopment of specific 

areas. 

The committee met with them in 

October 2017 and since then they have 

conducted a shopper survey and talked to 

individual landlords and businesses to get 

an understanding of the issues. 

We hope that this will lead to improved 

lighting and security in the village. It would 

be great to involve some of our local schools 

and community groups in the project too. 

The next couple of years will be a very 

exciting time for Bishopdale as new 

businesses join us in the currently vacant 

buildings and our area is rejuvenated.

Ma Baker - your local 

Kiwi bakery 

They say that if you want to know the 

best place to find a great bakery, follow the 

locals, and in Edgeware and Bishopdale, 

you’ll find both the residents and those 

working in the area are regularly heading 

straight for Ma Baker. 

Their yummy food options in-store can 

be described as honest Kiwi tucker and 

there’s something for everyone. Everything 

is baked daily by their team of bakers, from 

the fresh bread displayed in store which 

is also used in their sandwiches and rolls, 

to their delicious and so-moreish cream 

cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot 

to call in for lunch or afternoon tea with 

friends, to share a cuppa and a cake with 

someone special, or for tradies to fill up 

on their large selection of pies, stuffed 

sausages, toasties, buns and donuts, and 

they can be comfortable knowing they are a 

tradie/hi-vis/workboots-friendly bakery. It 

is also a popular spot for business people to 

hold casual weekly meetings. 

When cooking a meal is too much after 

a busy day, parents can select something 

from their large deli-bars and take home 

large-sized bacon and egg or family meat 

pies or pizza breads with fruit pies to follow 

– their budget-friendly prices mean that 

take-out or eating out doesn’t need to be 

a weekly treat any more. Their savoury

SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2019 

Small co-ed classes at St Michael’s 

Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their 

classroom calm and productive 

or a disharmony of noise and 

movement? How much of their 

teacher’s attention does your child 

actually receive? 

At St Michael’s, our small co-ed classes 

and specialist teachers ensure your child is 

an individual, well known by staff and fellow 

pupils alike. For at the heart of St Michael’s 

are the essential values of Christian faith 

and good citizenship: respect, integrity, 

faith, hope and love. 

St Michael’s is a prep school so your 

child is assured of a traditional foundation 

in English and Mathematics. This 

academic rigour then underpins our wider 

curriculums in Science, History, Geography 

and Spanish. IT literacy is taught, not 

assumed, and computer use is measured. 

We like teaching and talking to our pupils! 

Cultural and sports’ programmes 

develop your child’s foundation further, 

as creativity and problem-solving come 

in many forms. Specialist art and music 

classes are enjoyed weekly; and most pupils 

play at least one instrument, whether piano 

or flute, bassoon or bongos. There are two 

choirs, and drama lessons. 

And our extended campus is spectacular: 

today, the Art Gallery; tomorrow, the 

Gardens; next week… 

St Michael’s has been nurturing and 

educating children for 167 years, and our 

pupils come from city-wide, arriving via 

the bus exchange only a block away or 

with parents who work in the thriving city 

centre. 

You and your child are warmly welcome 

to discover for yourselves our purposeful, 

wholehearted and inclusive prep school.

Cathedral Grammar 

The Cathedral Grammar School is an 

independent school providing high-quality 

education for pre-school, primary school 

and intermediate aged girls and boys. 

This is a place of ambition alongside 

preparation where students learn from the 

best right from the start. Every year level 

benefits from the expertise of our highcalibre 

specialist teachers across multiple 

subjects. And small class sizes means a 

lot of individual attention so every child’s 

strengths are identified and built on and 

support provided where and when needed. 

Our school structure is unique and 

designed to ensure students have the 

opportunity to make the most of their 

formative school years. We understand 

learning happens in different ways at 

different ages; our students work in both 

co-educational and single-sex learning 

environments at times when this best suits 

their learning styles. In Pre-School and 

the Junior School children learn in a coeducational 

environment. Students in Years 

4 to 8 attend either our Boys’ or Girls’ School. 

Allowing students the best of both worlds, 

single sex classes offer the opportunity to 

target and deliver the curriculum in the 

most effective and interesting style possible, 

while social skills are developed by sharing 

mixed-environment break times, specialist 

classes and activities. 

Creativity and culture play a 

big role here with four choirs and 

hundreds of individual music, 

speech and drama lessons every 

week. We’re also a proud sporting 

school, providing students with 

the facilities and encouragement 

to try their hand at a range of 

sports and recreation activities. 

Ultimately, we are committed 

to providing a balance of 

tradition and rigour, while being 

curious and adventurous every 

day. 

Let the learning 

adventure begin

Grammar School has to offer. To register

OPEN DAY 

28 August, 9.30 am




Middle schooling 

makes a difference 

Having a curriculum and learning 

environment designed specifically for 

learners in the “middle years” (Years 7-10) is 

essential to ensure high levels of motivation 

and engagement in learning during this 

crucial stage of schooling. 

At Hillmorton High School having a 

consistent approach without a transition 

to a new school between Year 8 and 9 is 

proving to be positive in terms of 

accelerating student learning within 

the Middle School. 

We are currently working with 

our architects designing a new 

Middle School building with 22 

“General Learning Areas”. These 

areas are flexible and can operate as 

single cell classrooms or be opened 

up to allow more open learning 

spaces – the best of both worlds. 

This building will not disrupt 

learning as it is being built on the 

current tennis courts. 

This environment fits well 

with our broad Middle School 

curriculum allowing learners to 

explore and find both their strengths 

and passions. 

The advantage of combining 

the skills of Year 7 and 8 specialist 

teachers with the subject specialists 

of a high school gives our Middle 

School learners a huge advantage. 

Additionally, our “Big Day Out” 

events and end of year student 

electives allow our young people to learn in 

a range of environments often participating 

in social action such as planting, working 

with the elderly, along with exploring the 

city, the Art Gallery and the university. 

Our Middle School is ensuring real 

educational success and positive future 

prospects as students move into the Senior 

School for Years 11-13. 

Providing 

our students 

with learning 

and personal 

growth 

opportunities 

At St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School, 

our mission is that we are “choosing 

to be an innovative, catholic learning 

community that inspires and empowers 

learners to succeed.” 

We are committed to inspiring and 

empowering students for success, 

through the implementation of innovative 

instructional practices, leveraging digital 

technology, ensuring equity of access for 

all. 

We offer a range of sporting and cultural, 

innovative and creative opportunities. 

Teaching and learning experiences are 

personalised for our students and value 

student voice. 

Within our new flexible learning spaces 

every child has the opportunity to learn 

through authentic contexts, solving real 

world problems. 

Together we continue to innovate within 

a Catholic learning environment where all 

learners are inspired to learn, create and 

share. We are creating learners who will 

not only be successful but will become 

people who will positively impact on their 

world.

introduced as an interdisciplinary, projectbased 

learning activity drawing mostly 

on mathematics, science and technology. 

Learning is also enhanced by additional 

opportunities including the 2018 Space 

Camp trip where 18 girls will travel to the 

United States to attend a week-long Space 

Camp. 

A supportive all-girl learning 

environment encourages girls to take 

risks without fear of failure. As the girls 

progress they are confident in their 

abilities, understanding that perseverance 

helps them grow. A school-wide buddy 

programme provides each girl with support 

and mentoring. 

Learning is personalised and each 

teacher has the time to foster authentic 

and meaningful relationships. Strong 

relationships between the class teacher and 

family ensure each girl’s learning journey 

is nurtured by a partnership of support. 

Teachers construct learning activities 

to help each girl identify their personal 

strengths. 

Selwyn House believes these strengths 

can be applied to academic tasks 

and become more powerful with the 

acquisition of skills and knowledge, aiding 

intellectual development and academic 

achievement. For this reason core learning 

in reading, writing and mathematics is 

a priority. Specialist teachers in Spanish, 

Mechatronics, Art, Science, Physical 

Education, Swimming, Performing Arts 

and Music work with classroom teachers to 

help identify the strengths of every girl. 

The environment at Selwyn House 

empowers each girl to embrace their future 

and develop a love of learning. A Selwyn 

House girl will learn to define herself, 

accept responsibility, form opinions, 

and have compassion for the world. This 

combination of achievement, confidence, 

and character makes a Selwyn House 

education a powerful and transformative 

experience.

Plenty to do at 

McKenzie Lifestyle 

Village 

HISTORY: The Papanui Memorial Hall was built largely because of an initiative 

from Leonard Brannan Hart. 

Biscuit importer’s 

gimmick adverts 

were a cracker 

Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams looks at the life 

of businessman and Hawthorne St resident Leonard Hart 

LEONARD Brannan Hart 

was born in Christchurch 

in 1874 to Ellen and 

Michael Hart. Mr Hart 

spent his formative years 

in the city and his early 

business career was also 

based there. 

He specialised as an 

importer and wholesaler 

of Huntley and Palmers 

biscuits from 

England, 

and it is 

interesting to 

see the way in 

which he used 

contemporary 

events as an 

advertising 

gimmick, 

especially in 

exploiting 

the imperial 

sentiments of 

the day. 

For 

example, 

in November 1911, Mr 

Hart was advertising 

Huntley and Palmers 

‘famous polar biscuits’ 

to coincide with Robert 

Falcon Scott’s preparations 

for his Antarctic 

expedition. Later, Mr Hart 

became manager of the 

Christchurch branch of 

Abels Ltd, a margarine 

manufacturing business. 

By 1919, he and his 

family were living in 

Hawthorne St, Papanui, 

and he threw himself 

into local politics. 

His most significant 

achievement was to lead 

the campaign to lobby 

for the construction of a 

war memorial in Papanui. 

Rather than settling for 

an obelisk or statue, Mr 

Hart lobbied for a ‘utility 

object’, specifically a new 

town hall. 

As chairman of the 

memorial 

committee, 

he argued 

successfully 

that the 

bulk of 

the money 

should be 

provided 

by raising 

a council 

loan, 

although 

the 

committee 

also raised 

funds 

directly by organising a 

very successful Queen 

Carnival. The new 

memorial hall with library 

facilities on the corner of 

Horner St and Papanui Rd 

was finally opened in 1923. 

However, Mr Hart’s 

other foray into local 

politics was less successful. 

Since 1910, Papanui had 

been administered by 

the Waimairi County 

Council but there was 

some feeling that the area 

would do better as a part 

of Christchurch city. 

Mr Hart disagreed – 

he was convinced that 

this would result in a 

disproportionate increase 

in rates for Papanui 

property owners. 

The fact that he had a 

financial interest in a large 

tract of then undeveloped 

land off Hawthorne St 

may have been at least 

a partial motivation for 

his campaign, which was 

fought at public meetings 

and through lengthy 

letters to The Press. 

However, in 1922, 

ratepayers in the most 

urbanised section of 

Papanui voted to secede 

from Waimairi in favour 

of absorption into the 

growing city. Thus in 1923 

– the year that marked 

his triumph in driving 

the successful campaign 

for the memorial hall – 

the change in the local 

territorial boundary 

was officially gazetted. 

Both the memorial hall 

and Mr Hart’s property 

in Hawthorne St had 

officially become part of 

Christchurch. Later Mr 

Hart moved to the Bay 

of Plenty and died in 

Tauranga in 1960.

Grape seeds 

shown to have 

remarkable 

health benefits! 

According to researchers grape seeds 

may hold the potential to treat and prevent 

many devastating disorders. The seeds 

have been found to contain many powerful 

antioxidant that have been shown to 

support the natural healing process and 

even slow the aging process. 

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown 

to reduce inflammation, pain, increase 

cell energy, protect protein structures and 

increase collagen production. The powerful 

antioxidants can tone and strengthen 

the blood vessels, improve blood flow, 

making it valuable for circulatory disorders 

of all kinds, including varicose veins, 

haemorrhoids, hardening of the arteries 

and impaired blood flow to the brain. It 

is excellent for most skin conditions with 

many noticing the skin becomes smoother. 

GSE offers a natural alternative for many 

people with hypertension. (High Blood 

Pressure) Higher B/P puts more stress

on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis 

(hardening of the arteries) and increased 

risk of heart disease and strokes. 

Recent studies on people with elevated 

B/P found GSE to significantly lower B/P 

but with no effect on people with normal 

B/P. Animal studies have shown GSE to 

improve heart function, reduce damage 

caused by heart attacks and prevent arterial 

plaque. 

A growing number of studies show that 

GSE has powerful anticancer properties, 

can help balance blood sugar, improve 

arthritis and protect brain cells. It may prove 

vital in the treatment of brain disorders like 

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. 

Numerous studies on GSE show it can 

help support our good health and prevent 

many degenerative diseases. Further

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

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

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 and the lowest scores on 

tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration and brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains and 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 and declining cognitive function. 

B12 is essential for energy production, cell 

health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles, 

nerve health and repair, and prevention 

of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular 

risk factor that is known to cause damage 

and 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

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. 

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain 

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing, 

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

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 and other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual 

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and 

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

HOME & HEATING 

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

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.

Smooth-Air Products Ltd, supplier of

is proud so many staff members have been 

happy to stay with the company for so long. 

Recently Jason Hansen was awarded 

with his 20 year certificate by Allan Doak,

in 1990. Jason started as a teenager in 1998 

as general hand and now is very skilled 

at manufacturing castellated spigots and 

Madonna Cowls. 

Over the past 28 years, Smooth-Air staff 

have grown in numbers from two to over 80. 

Eleven of whom have worked for Smooth- 

Air for at least 10 years. Their certificates 

are proudly displayed in the Head Office 

entrance. 

Jason with his certificate for 20 years 

employment with Smooth-Air. 

Of the 23 Christchurch Workshop team 

members, seven have been there for over ten 

years, making for a very experienced team 

manufacturing a wide variety of ventilation 

equipment. 

Several other staff have been with 

Smooth-Air since near the beginning, 

even if not continuously, such as Russell 

Warnock, who was a great innovator during 

the early years and is now back in R&D. 

Also, Paul Shaw, who worked with Allan 

even prior to Smooth-Air, and has been in 

the Ventilation industry for nearly 40 years. 

Paul is now Smooth-Air’s HVAC Product 

Manager. 

Smooth-Air is looking forward to the next 

30 years with many of the current team.

Acupuncture 

without needles 

A graduate of Beijing Medical College, 

Dr Lan established an acupuncture clinic 

in Christchurch in 1993. As she continued 

her research and medical practice, she 

discovered a reflexology network on the 

human body, an exciting new discovery 

that became the foundation of her new 

treatment – acupuncture without needles. 

Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt 

instrument to stimulate the reflexology 

points on the face or other parts of the 

body. When the point is stimulated by 

pressure, a message is sent to the repair 

centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan 

explains, the treatment increases energy, 

which boosts the body’s healing system. 

With her powerful treatment, results are 

produced very quickly – even instantly. 

It brings fast results because it is a very 

precise treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses 

it to treat people of all ages with many 

different types of pain in all parts of the 

body, including arthritic pain, MS, 

and pain from injury, and there are 

no side-effects. Depression and 

anxiety, often the result of ongoing 

low energy, can also be overcome 

with Dr Lan’s treatment. 

Search YouTube for Dr Lan 

reflexology to see lots of instant 

results videos. Dr Lan has published 

a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology 

Network, which introduces the 

treatment and explains how 

it works. Her website, www. 

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, 

includes treatment videos, where 

people who have had the treatment 

speak about the fast relief it has 

r Lan’s Reflexology 

brought them. Phone 323 4168 or 

027 231 8388. 

ADveRToRIAL 

For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, 

and other physical and mental health issues, Chinese 

health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of 

treatment that brings fast and often immediate results. 

Search YouTube Dr Lan Reflexology 

for Instant Results Videos

treatment provides

“Living Fully in Dying 

and Death?” 

Dying and especially death have become 

increasingly taboo subjects in our modern 

western society. This course will involve reflective 

consideration of the recent important literature 

of how to live life to the full when facing the last 

of life’s major stages of dying and death. This is 

at a time when more people are living longer and 

are becoming more removed from the reality of 

what it means to be mortal. Attention will also 

be drawn to recent research on palliative care and 

how it informs people to face approaching death 

not with trepidation but openness, clarity and 

understanding. This is an information sharing, 

reflective course and is not therapeutic in format. 

It will be a six-week course of 2 hour sessions; held 

on Thursday afternoons, 2 – 4 pm, commencing 

on 23rd August. The course will be facilitated by 

Rodney Routledge and others and be interactive 

in format.

THAT’S right folks! DND Showband returns 

to the Hornby Club this Saturday with the 

original line up. 

“We’ve had a lot of fun putting this show 

together, ”said Jo-Anne Davern, performer 

and manager of the band. “It’s been a good 

couple of years since this line up last 

performed together and I’m amazed at how 

simply we all slotted back in place. It’s like 

we were never apart.” 

Joining Jo on stage will be regular 

members Ben Harvey (guitar, vocals); Grant 

McPhie (bass, keys); and Mark Newburn 

(drums, vocals), along with showband 

chanteuses Michele Webb, Gina Gilbreath, 

and Mel Lawson. 

Christchurch based DnD Showband has 

been delighting audiences across the 

country with their multi-tribute theme 

shows for an incredible ten years. In 

rehearsal mode for Saturday’s show, the 7 

piece troupe has been busy fine tuning show 

content, sorting costumes and tightening up 

moves. 

“We’ve put together a great play list 

guaranteed to get everyone up dancing. 

We’re opening with a set of 50s/60s tunes, 

followed by our Moulin Rouge theme set 

that brims with disco dance anthems of the 

70s/80s, and concluding with our tribute to 

ABBA,” said Jo. “And for those who prefer to 

listen and watch, our professional tech’s 

Peter Standring and Peter ‘Pedro’ Buchan-Ng 

will be out front running our audio and 

light systems to ensure it sounds and looks 

wonderful.”
