EXTENDED ROAD barriers 

are being installed in some parts 

of the red zone to stop illegal 

rubbish dumping and boy racers 

from destroying the vegetation. 

They will also create tighter 

security in the area. In early 2016, 

barriers were placed 

across roads in the 

red zone to deter 

anti-social behaviour 

and illegal 

rubbish dumping. 

“The barriers 

were designed to 

allow pedestrians 

and cyclists access 

to the area but to 

Steffan 

Thomas 

keep vehicles out. Unfortunately, 

some drivers continued to bypass 

the barriers by mounting the 

footpath and driving around 

them,’’ said city council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas. 

“Once past the barriers, they’re 

using the area as a dumping 

ground for their rubbish, which is 

unacceptable,” he said.

IT’S NO mean feat to win a club rugby 

league grand-final. 

Prop Alex Todd has now been part of 

the last three winning Linwood sides, was 

named man of the match for the second 

year in a row, and he scored a late try to 

steal victory from the underdogs, Hornby. 

That’s fairly impressive. 

On page 16 today, we talk to Todd (no relation to another 

great Linwood forward Brent Todd). 

He was awarded the Mel Cooke Memorial Trophy for the 

man of the match. 

Cooke was a star of the game during the 1960s. He played 23 

tests for the Kiwis and was named in the New Zealand Rugby 

League’s team of the century. 

Not a bad sort of a trophy to hold.

Redcliffs Park group ‘not confident’ 

• By Matt Salmons 

A PETITION to try and 

reinstate Redcliffs School to its 

original site will be tabled in a 

do-or-die meeting tomorrow. 

Community group Friends of 

Redcliffs Park has been fighting 

for urgent legislation to prevent 

Redcliffs School’s relocation to 

the park since 2016. 

A 208-signature petition 

from the group was referred 

to Parliament’s workforce and 

education select committee last 

month. A decision whether to 

take the matter further is likely 

to be made tomorrow. 

Group spokesman Chris 

Doudney said it was hard to 

feel too confident about the 

petition’s fate considering the 

fight so far. 

“I’d say we’re not very 

confident at all. But who knows 

though.” 

It comes as Friends of 

Redcliffs Park is waiting on a 

report expected from the office 

of the Ombudsman in March. 

Mr Doudney made a 

complaint against the Ministry 

of Education to the Ombudsman 

on behalf of the group on June 

22 last year, noting the urgency 

of the request. 

“They said it would be ready 

in March, but still nothing has 

happened. Then they said it 

would be in a couple of weeks in 

April, then in May, then in June. 

“In the meantime, the 

Ministry goes ahead to demolish 

the school,” Mr Doudney said. 

In a letter sent to the 

Ombudsman on August 17, 

Mr Doudney said the group 

was “very concerned that your 

office is taking excessive time to 

release your report.” 

He said he understood the 

Ombudsman could not direct 

the Government to take action 

with regard to the report, but 

said the report would support 

the petition in allowing the 

group to take its concerns to 

Parliament. 

Christchurch Central Labour 

MP Duncan Webb presented the 

petition to Parliament on behalf 

of Friends of Redcliffs Park in 

July. 

Depending on the outcome 

of today’s meeting, the select 

committee may ask for more 

information from the submitters 

and arrange hearings of the 

evidence from both sides. 

If that happened, a report 

would be prepared and used to 

advise their recommendations 

to Parliament. 

In response to Mr Doudney’s 

letter, Chief Ombudsman Peter 

Boshier said the investigation 

WAITING GAME: 

Chris Doudney 

says it is hard to 

feel confident 

about the fate 

of the Friends 

of Redcliffs Park 

petition. 

was “well advanced” but had 

raised a number of complex 

issues. 

“All of this has taken quite 

some time and consideration. 

My office has been in regular 

contact with Mr Doudney 

regarding the progress of this 

investigation. I appreciate there 

is significant local interest in 

this issue and it is my intention 

to progress matters shortly. I 

know this is important,” Mr 

Boshier said. 

Designs for the new school, 

set to be built in Redcliffs Park, 

were released last month, with 

construction expected to start at 

the end of the year.

“I gave it a go last year and 

wasn’t successful, so I tried again 

this year. It was a motivation to 

see how you faced off against your 

contemporaries,” Mr Ravn said. 

The regional competition 

involved building something from 

scratch in just two hours. Mr 

Ravn built a tool box. 

“Having to deal with your 

nerves and having to deal with 

industry leaders, I definitely think 

it was a massive thing you need 

to overcome. So different to when 

you are working on site.” 

After finishing high school, Mr 

Ravn started a fine arts degree 

at Canterbury University before 

training as a carpenter. 

“I like making things, so I 

thought I would give it a go and 

I really enjoyed it and here I am 

now. In Christchurch, there was a 

lot of demand.” 

“The building industry is amazing. 

And we do things that other 

people can’t do, we create, and you 

get paid to learn. Definitely give it 

a go and see where you stand.” 

Mr Ravn will take part in the 

national competition in Auckland 

on November 9.

Helen Clark - Women, Equality, Power 

Selected Speeches from a Life of Leadership 

By Helen Clark 

A celebration of an outstanding leader who continues to strive and work for 

change, and it’s a rallying call for other women leaders, whether they are in 

positions of political, economic or social power. 

Helen Clark has been a political leader for more than 40 years, since first 

running in local elections in the 1970s. She entered parliament as a 31-yearold 

in 1981, led the Labour Party to victory in 1999 and was Prime Minister 

of New Zealand for nine years. She then took on a critical international role as 

Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme in New York. 

One of her key focuses throughout this time has been the empowerment of 

women and she has paved the way for other women to step up and lead. 

With a foreword by the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand, 

this is a timely and important book.

The All blacks: The Secrets behind the World's Most 

Successful Team 

By Peter Bills 

New Zealand rugby is a dynasty that transcends all national barriers. As a culture 

and a model of humility and consistent success, leading to three Rugby World 

Cups, the world of rugby continues to look to the New Zealand model for guidance. 

Traditionally, the renowned All Blacks and those charged with guiding them have 

kept their rules of engagement close to their chests. However now, New Zealand 

Rugby has agreed to open their doors to rugby writer Peter Bills to consider the 

reasons behind their dominance of the world game in the build-up towards the 

Lions Series in 2017 and Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan. 

Throughout this book, Peter Bills draws on case studies and interviews of officials, 

coaches and players, as well as people involved in all elements of rugby, right 

across New Zealand. The Jersey tells an extraordinary story with unprecedented 

access and insight, and explores the basic requirements and immense challenges 

required not only to become number one in the world, but remain consistently at 

the top.

journeys to the Other Side of the World 

Further adventures of a young naturalist 

By Sir david Attenborough 

Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s 

onwards the young David Attenborough embarked on further travels in a very 

different part of the world. 

From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory 

of Australia, he and his cameraman companion were aiming to record not just 

the wildlife, but the way of life of some of the indigenous people of these regions, 

whose traditions had never been encountered by most of the British public before. 

From the land divers of Pentecost Island and the sing-sings of New Guinea, to a 

Roya Kava ceremony on Tonga and the ancient art of the Northern Territory, it is a 

journey like no other. Alongside these remarkable cultures he encounters paradise 

birds, chameleons, sifakas and many more animals in some of the most unique 

environments on the planet. 

Written with David Attenborough's characteristic charm, humour and warmth, 

Journeys to the Other Side of the World is an inimitable adventure among people, 

places and the wildest of wildlife.

Youth, community work rewarded 


The Spreydon- 

Cashmere Community 

Board presented its 

community service 

and youth service 

awards at the Old 

Stone House recently. 

Here are the people 

and groups honoured 

Group awards 

•Citizens Advice Bureau 

Christine Bridgman and 

Iris Schembri have been 

volunteers with CAB for 

10 years, providing free, 

impartial and confidential 

information and support to 

individuals city-wide. They 

also promote CAB’s services. 

•St Martins Voluntary 

Library – The original 

St Martins Voluntary 

Library was destroyed 

in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, and the library 

is now located in the new St 

Martins Community Centre 

building which was opened 

in 2016. Christine Child is 

the library’s book buyer 

and has been a member of 

the committee for 16 years. 

Jeannie Moeller has given 10 

years’ service as treasurer, 

and applies for funding for 

the purchase of new books. 

Roma Murphy has been 

secretary and a committee 

member for more than 

20 years. Gail Resuggan 

has been library president 

since 2010. Gail supported 

the volunteers with the 

clearance of books from 

the earthquake-damaged 

building through a series of 

shifts, and worked with city 

council staff responsible for 

building the new community 

centre to ensure that the 

library space was fit for 

purpose. 

CONTRIBUTION: The Old Stone House gardeners were honoured at the Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community Board community service and youth service awards. 

•The Old Stone House 

gardeners – Ten volunteer 

gardeners at the Old Stone 

House have a combined 

service of nearly 150 years. 

Since the acquisition of the 

fire-damaged Old Stone 

House and its surrounding 

grounds by the Heathcote 

County Council (HCC) in 

1972 for use as a community 

centre, HCC and later the 

city council developed 

the gardens – lawns were 

established, trees planted, 

garden plots created, 

footpaths laid, and stone 

walls built. The grounds 

were maintained for the 

next 45 years by volunteers 

who worked on Monday 

afternoons. The gardens 

won awards in the annual 

garden competitions every 

year. With advancing age 

and no newcomers in sight, 

it was with sadness that 

the volunteers decided to 

disband last year. Walter 

Puentener had given 27 

years’ service; Mervyn 

Osborne, 25 years; Gordon 

Rudd, 20 years; Andrew 

Kim, 15 years; Caroline 

Murray, 14 years; Rosalia 

Kim, 12 years; Rick Bolch, 10 

years; Otto Bolt, 10 years; 

John Cousins, nine years; 

and Anne Wilson, four 

years. Botanic Gardens staff 

now maintain the grounds 

around heritage buildings 

including the Old Stone 

House. 

•West Spreydon School 

Pool Committee – Fifteen 

volunteers have served 

on the West Spreydon 

School Pool Committee 

at some point over the 

past 15 years, building two 

new swimming pools for 

their community. They are 

Suzanne Brittenden, Adrian 

Disseveld, Bill Earle, Jared 

Fretwell, Joy Lalahi, Duane 

Major, Olivia Megarry, 

Mathijs Nieuwenhuijsen, 

Cheryl Scanlan, Jason 

and Stacy Silich, Nicki 

Smith, Bridgit Veenings, 

and Lauren and Nick 

Yannakis. A new pool was 

opened on February 19, 

2011. Three days later, the 

pool was destroyed by 

the 2011 earthquake. The 

weeds grew and the area 

became derelict. Eventually, 

members of the original 

school pool committee 

started considering 

whether they could rebuild 

the pool – at a cost 

of $1.3 million. Labour MP 

Megan Woods supported 

them in securing funding 

of $200,000. Heartened 

by this initial grant, the 

school was inspired to 

begin the re-build. A new 

committee was formed 

and the next five years 

consisted of working bees, 

funding applications, and 

fundraising. The generosity 

of trusts, boards, individuals, 

and many businesses 

enabled the committee to 

give West Spreydon School 

and its community their 

pool back. The new pool 

was opened on February 22, 

2018, seven years to the day 

after the previous brand new 

pool was destroyed. This 

time, the pool is made of 

stainless steel to withstand 

earthquakes. There were 

more than 12 working bees 

involving more than 50 

volunteers. A permanent 

fixed hoist assists those 

with restricted physical 

ability to enjoy the pool 

which is for West Spreydon 

School families and former 

pupils, and the wider 

community, including nearby 

schools. 

•Whareora House of 

Life – Norma Hampton 

and Cyril Morris are 

volunteers at Whareora 

in Spreydon. Whareora 

was gifted funding to 

undertake renovations 

to the community house. 

Norma managed the 

12-month project. The result 

is a refurbished house that 

will serve the community 

for many years. Norma 

represents the community 

on the board of Whareora 

Trust. She is also a volunteer 

at the community lunch and 

works in the second-hand 

clothing shop. For four years, 

Cyril has had responsibility 

for Whareora’s community 

garden which provides 

vegetables at no, or low, cost 

to the community. During 

Whareora’s renovations, Cyril 

worked tirelessly to ensure 

the house was ready for 

the many groups using the 

facility.

ADVERTORIAL 

A new lease on life for Bob 

For Bob Kirk, resident at Ryman 

Healthcare’s Essie Summers 

Retirement Village, his serviced 

apartment has been a blessing. 

The icing on the cake, 

however, is the pool table in the 

village lounge, and Bob is king 

of the chalk, happy to take on 

anyone who fancies a game. 

Bob, 94, moved into the 

village in May for respite care 

after a bad fall. He needed a 

place to recuperate and heal. 

“I still need to go to the physio 

and recover but I have moved 

into my own serviced apartment 

now,” Bob says smiling. 

Essie Summers village 

boasts several independent 

living and care options, 

including; townhouses, serviced 

apartments, resthome, hospital, 

and specialist dementia care. 

Residents can relax or meet 

their friends in the village 

centre where the facilities 

include indoor bowls, a grand 

atrium, library, hair salon, bar, 

and terrace. 

Bob’s favourite thing is the 

pool table. 

“I used to play a lot of 

snooker,” says the retired 

carpenter. 

“But nowadays, I play pool 

with anyone I can rope in!” 

Bob has made quite a few 

friends with residents and 

staff alike. 

He also likes to join in the 

Happy Hours and is looking 

forward to joining in on 

activities and outings when he 

has recovered. 

For now, he is happy to be 

near everything. 

“My room is handy,” says Bob, 

“It’s nice and warm and close to 

everything I need to go to.” 

The village, which was rebuilt 

after the 2011 earthquakes, has 

a strong culture. 

Ryman Sales Advisor Josie 

McCrone, who is helping out 

Ryman sales advisor Josie McCrone with serviced apartment resident Bob Kirk 

with Susie Cowles, says that the 

esprit de corps is apparent in 

everything the village does. The 

staff are enthusiastic in their 

care for residents and always 

make the most of celebrations. 

“It’s certainly a very vibrant 

village,” says Josie. 

“The staff are lovely, and they 

celebrate milestones.” 

The village is conveniently 

located close to the city in 

Beckenham on Colombo Street. 

“It also has what older 

people value; a bus stop right 

outside the village! It’s great 

for those residents who don’t 

drive anymore.” 

Josie says that serviced 

apartments are the perfect 

combination of independence 

and support. With a serviced 

apartment available at the 

moment, it is the best of 

both worlds. 

“It offers you the ability 

to maintain your wellbeing 

without the worries. It also 

offers you independence but 

just outside your door there is 

fantastic support for if, or when, 

you need it,” says Josie. 

“You’re never alone. Life is 

much easier.” 

Assisted living in a serviced 

apartment offers services 

such as housekeeping, meals 

and fresh linen delivered to 

your door. Plus the weekly fee 

is xed for life* which provides 

real peace of mind about your 

living costs. 

For Josie, it’s heart-warming 

for her to know that her 

residents are happy and have 

that security. 

For Bob the best thing 

about living at the village is 

the friendliness of staff and 

residents. 

And of course, his beloved 

pool table. 

“There is always someone to 

play pool with!” 

*Terms and conditions apply. 

Bob enjoys his hobby at the village - playing pool. 

One-bedroom serviced 

apartment available now!

BLOCKED: Extended road barriers are being installed in parts of the red zone to 

deter vandals. 

Red zone barriers get 

bigger to stop vandals 


“We want to prevent that from 

happening and have been working on 

the issue with Land Information New 

Zealand,” Mr Thomas said. 

LINZ manages red-zoned land for the 

Crown but the city council owns the 

roads and footpaths. 

“LINZ has been working to lengthen 

the barriers in targeted areas so it no 

longer possible for cars to get around 

them by driving on the footpath. They’re 

adding additional bollards on the 

footpath and berm areas and stringing 

chains between them, so that cars can’t 

get past but cyclists and pedestrians can 

still get through,’’ Mr Thomas said. 

“We hope this will bring an end to the 

illegal dumping and stop unauthorised 

vehicles from accessing the area.’’ 

LINZ red zone land and property 

manager Matt Bradley has received 

positive feedback from neighbouring 

residents who have been frustrated by 

the antisocial behaviour and rubbish 

dumping. 

“We received a lovely message from 

a Dallington resident thanking us for 

the work we have done to improve the 

barriers,” he said. 

“He said the simple addition of a few 

gates and posts had done wonders to cut 

down on antisocial behaviour and to 

make the space feel safer for residents, 

pedestrians and cyclists.’’ 

LINZ has been working closely with 

landscaping contractors and others 

who need legitimate access through a 

smart lock and key system to open the 

barriers. 

“In the past weeks, our team has also 

been working closely with whitebaiters 

who want to get access to their favourite 

spots,” said Mr Bradley 

“We have successfully arranged access 

for over 60 individuals and the feedback 

has been very positive,” he 

said. 

The whitebaiters register their names 

with LINZ in exchange for a special key 

to open specific gates. 

Mr Bradley said vandals rammed 

some of the new gates to get access to the 

streets. 

“But we have replaced those gates 

with heavier posts and other security 

measures, like cameras, to keep those 

people out of the red zone.”

The Subs to play Rockquest final 

SCHOOLS 

Christ’s band wins people’s vote 

CHRIST’S College band The Subs 

has kept its Smokefreerockquest 

dream alive. 

The band has been named 

the people’s choice public vote 

winner to book a spot in next 

month’s national final. 

The Subs won the regional final 

in June but were not selected for 

the national final after submitting 

a video to judges. 

However, the five-piece, poppunk 

band rallied to gain the 

support needed to win the people’s 

choice vote and the last remaining 

place in the top 10. The 

Subs will now play in the final 

on September 22 at the Dorothy 

Winstone Centre, Auckland. 

The band is made up of year 12 

students Jono Stewart, vocals and 

rhythm guitar; Zac Matson, bass; 

Humphrey Bullen, lead guitar; 

Matias Biraben-Clough, drums; 

and Max Toth, keyboard and 

synth. 

Jono said the band is called 

The Subs because it is made up of 

“bench-warmers” from Run77 – 

the winner of last year’s regional 

Smokefreerockquest final. 

The Subs beat Run77 to claim 

the regional final title this year. 

“When I heard second and 

third place read out, my heart 

sank – I thought Run77 would 

win . . . I thought we hadn’t made 

it,” Jono said. 

But he did admit the rivalry 

was a “bit of a joke” between the 

bands – they’re actually good 

friends. 

Jono said The Subs entered the 

Smokefreerockquest last year but 

didn’t even make it through the 

heats. 

TOP 10: The Subs won the people’s choice award to book a spot in the Smokefreerockquest final 

in Auckland on September 22. 

School pupils battle to become quizmasters 

WINNERS: The Otago Daily Times Extra! Canterbury quiz at Cobham Intermediate was won by 

(top left) St Martins School pupils Oliver Williams, Dilkee Nanayokkara and Stella Shields, and

ST MARTINS and 

Fendalton Open-Air schools 

took out the Otago Daily 

Times Extra! Canterbury quiz 

at Cobham Intermediate on 

Wednesday. 

The winners of the year 5 

and 6 quiz were Sam Atkinson, 

11, Aran Cudmore, 10, and 

Aaron Kwak, 10, with a score 90 

out of 100. 

Sam, who was part of the 

victorious Fendalton team, said 

it was the first time the trio had 

won and it felt “pretty awesome”. 

He was also proud of his teammates. 

“It was probably Aaron’s 

knowledge of everything that got 

us the win,” Sam said. 

The second and third-placed 

teams finished neck and neck, 

with Prebbleton School on 82 

points and Avonhead School on 

81 points. 

Year 5 and 6 defending champions, 

Medbury School, finished 

sixth. The St Martins School trio 

took out the year 7 and 8 

quiz, and were elated after the 

win. Dilkee Nanayokkara, Stella 

Shields and Oliver Williams, 

all 12, scored 94 points out of 

100. Stella said her team was the 

strongest in the world mapping 

question. “We struggled on the 

newspaper search and guess who 

question,” Dilkee said. 

It was the first time the three 

pupils from St Martins had won 

the competition. 

Christchurch South 

Intermediate finished second 

on 88 points ahead of defending 

champions Cobham Intermediate 

which were 

third on 83 points. 

It was organiser Tricia Rowe’s 

first time running the quiz. 

“It’s been really exciting 

and nerve-wracking. It’s been 

challenging making sure the 

questions were pitched at the 

right level,” Mrs Rowe said. 

Both quizzes attracted 237 

pupils from across Canterbury. 

They were run by the Otago 

Daily Times through Extra! 

– its monthly Newspapers 

in Education publication for 

primary, intermediate and junior 

secondary school pupils.

Strong build-up to 

national tournament 

SPORTS 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

• By Jacob Page 

CASHMERE HIGH School start 

their march towards the national 

secondary schools’ tournament 

by taking on the South Island’s 

best in Invercargill this week. 

The team finished 13th in New 

Zealand last year and appear to 

be one of the teams to beat in the 

South Island after another strong 

Christchurch campaign. 

The team completed a dominant 

season in the Thomson 

Trophy secondary schools 

competition with a 86-61 win 

over Rangiora High School, last 

Tuesday. 

Cashmere won all nine of their 

Thomson Trophy round-robin 

encounters before winning both 

their quarter-final, semi-final 

and final. 

They did this while outscoring 

their opponents by more than 

300 points during the campaign. 

Last month they had a fourgame 

unbeaten trip to Auckland 

with wins against Westlake 

Boys’ High School, St Kentigern 

College, Rangitoto College and 

defending national champions 

Rosmini College. 

Coach Paul Conner said they 

had tougher matches during the 

play-offs, with Middleton Grange 

finishing just seven points 

behind them in the semi-finals a 

fortnight ago. 

“Both Middleton Grange and 

Rangiora were extremely well 

coached and came with game 


SOUTHERN UNITED division 

one hockey coach Max Winter 

was running out of new ways 

to make sure his team got the 

message about staying unbeaten. 

He won’t have to worry about 

it until next season after his team 

completed an undefeated season 

by beating Hornby 2-1 in the 

final last Saturday. 

Southern has been the dominant 

force in the grade having 

lost just one game in the past two 

years. 

The team has managed it with 

SUPPORT: The Cashmere High School basketball team after 

winning the Thomson Trophy final at Cowles Stadium. 

plans to upset our line-up,” he 

said. 

“Rangiora, in particular, did 

well try to combat the extra 

height we have.” 

Cashmere High School’s Nic 

Wenmoth was named the game’s 

most valuable player. 

Conner said it was good 

preparation for the South Island 

secondary schools’ tournament 

in Invercargill. 

“We played some good basketball 

against quality opposition 

a new coach and eight new faces 

this season. 

“I was running out of 

entertaining ways to get the 

message across at training,” he 

said. 

“How many ways can you say 

to a team that it’s important we 

don’t lose?” 

Winter said several of the 

youngsters were excited to finally 

earn a trophy which seemed 

destined to be theirs for much of 

the season. 

I think the younger guys were 

excited but for a guy like Shane 

(Maddaford) he was excited to 

over the past few weeks and we 

were able to give many of our 

players quality minutes,” he said. 

Tournament basketball is 

always something different, with 

eight games in four days, we’ll 

have to manage that but we are 

lucky that our key games don’t 

really start until Wednesday.” 

Conner said he knew his team 

would have a target on its back 

after such a successful season but 

it was something his team would 

enjoy. 

Unbeaten season for hockey team 

defend it and stay unbeaten. 

Maddaford did all he could to 

ensure the victory, scoring a goal 

in the final. 

Winter said the team had a 

good mix of youth and experience 

and deserved to enjoy their 

moment. 

“Not losing was something 

that became harder the more the 

season went on and the more we 

became aware of it so to win the 

final was great,” 

Winter said the team was likely 

to lose players and gain new faces 

next year but that was the nature 

of the division. 

READY: Halswell boxer Megyn McLennan will main event 

the Pacific Warriors 2 night at the Hagley Sports Centre on 

September 15 against Kirwee’s Michaela Jenkins. 

Women boxers 

to shape up in 

first pro event 


HALSWELL’S Megyn 

McLennan started boxing five 

years ago purely to lose weight. 

In 11 days time she will be 

part of the first professional 

women’s bout to main event a 

show in Christchurch. 

The 39-year-old registered 

nurse will be in the main event 

of Strikeforce Boxing’s Pacific 

Warriors 2 fundraising night at 

the Hagley Sports Centre. 

There will be at least six 

corporate and amateur bouts on 

the under card with McLennan 

facing New Zealand Muay Thai 

champion, Michaela Jenkins in 

the four-round contest to end 

the night. 

“If you’d told me I’d be boxing 

professionally five years ago, 

I would have laughed in your 

face,” McLennan said. 

“When I first started, the 

coaches would laugh at me 

because I was the person who 

could barely run and couldn’t do 

a push-up.” 

McLennan will enter her 

11th bout overall and second 

professional outing after losing 

to Nelson’s Dawn Chalmers in 

Motueka earlier this year. 

“I like to think I’m a busy 

fighter but working with (Strikeforce 

coach) Steve Brown has 

really sharpened my game, 

“He gives us a toolbox of skills 

we can use in the ring and it’s up 

to us to make the most of it.” 

Kirwee-based Jenkins is 

coming off winning her New 

Zealand Muay Thai title in June 

and was offered this bout almost 

straight away. 

“I’ve been in camps since February 

so it seemed like a good 

match-up to take.” 

Jenkins said she was impressed 

with McLennan’s effort 

in her loss to Chalmers. 

“I thought she showed how 

tough she was because Dawn 

is a very credible fighter so I’m 

looking forward to the challenge 

of taking her on.”

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Todd rises to the 

occasion again 

in league final 


IT’S SAFE to say, Linwood Keas 

vice-captain Alex Todd is the 

man for the big occasion. 

The hard-working prop was 

awarded the Mel Cooke Memorial 

Trophy as man of the match 

in the Canterbury rugby league 

club grand-final for the second 

year running last Sunday. 

The 29-year-old had done 

plenty of hard yards in the middle 

of the park and was still able 

to find the energy to take an 

off-load from halfback Daniel 

Hartley and crash over the line 

for the match-winning try 2min 

from full-time. 

Todd’s heroics secured the 

Keas a 20-16 win, after they were 

trailing 14-16, against a gallant 

Hornby Panthers at Rugby 

League Park, ensuring Linwood 

would be the first club since 1981 

to win three finals in a row and 

lift the Pat Smith Trophy. 

“Finals are always amazing 

games with the big crowd and 

SPORTS 

the atmosphere, I always want to 

give it everything to get the win,” 

he said. 

“Let’s face it, afterwards you 

can have a rest for a few weeks,” 

he joked. 

Todd said it was an honour to 

win the Mel Cooke Memorial 

Trophy. 

“To play in a final is something 

special but to be considered the 

best on the ground and win an 

award named after someone like 

Mel Cooke is great.” 

Cooke was a Hornby loose forward 

who represented the Kiwis 

23 times between 1959 and 1964. 

In 1962 Cooke was captain of 

the first Canterbury team to win 

the Northern Union Cup from 

Auckland at the then Addington 

Showgrounds and was named in 

the New Zealand Rugby League 

all century team. 

Todd debuted for the Keas 

premier team 10 years ago as a 

fresh-faced 18-year-old. 

Keas coach Andrew Auimatagi 

said Todd deserved credit for his 

game-winning try. 

“For a prop to be pushing up 

and looking for a pass after a 

tough 80min like that is nothing 

short of exceptional,” he said. 

Todd said he didn’t check to 

see if the referee was going to 

award the try before being congratulated 

by his teammates. 

“I took the pass and put (the 

ball) down and it was close to a 

(defender’s) boot but I got up and 

just started celebrating,” Todd 

said. 

Auimatagi said: “He’s not a guy 

who says a lot but the boys love 

playing with him and for him. 

He’s the kind of guy who sets a 

quality example for the young 

players and that performance 

certainly showed it.” 

MATCH-WINNER: Alex Todd was named man of the match in 

the Pat Smith Trophy final win against the Hornby Panthers.

support at seven facilities employing 

259 staff and cares for approximately 

350 residents. Also provides Villas and

Rest home care is provided in Golden 

Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest 

Home, both of which also encompass 

retirement villages. Brookhaven also 

has a dementia care unit along with the 

dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and 

Somerfield Rest Homes. Furthermore, 

Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated 

dementia unit, but Hoon Hay House on 

the same site specialises in mental health. 

Also owned by Golden Healthcare 

Group is The Lady Wigram Village. 

The latest hotel style accommodation 

includes a restaurant, licensed bar, 

billiard room, movie theatre and library. 

They have available the last of the Villas 

and the apartments ready for occupation 

now with staff available daily to show 

people around. 

Apartments are a perfect balance 

of independence and peace of mind. 

Provided are a daily meal, morning 

and afternoon tea plus support in 

maintaining the apartment leaving more 

time for socialising. They have a singing 

group, knitting and lots of other groups

The next stage of Lady Wigram is

and gym. These will be completed by 

Christmas. 

When completed Lady Wigram 

will have 73 apartments, a rest home, 

a dementia facility and a hospital in 

addition to the Villas. 

“In our experience, a lot of people are 

choosing to move into retirement village 

life earlier because they recognise the 

benefits of the ease of living and it allows 

them greater freedom and more social 

interaction. This means that it’s really 

important for us to provide amenities 

that help residents to socialise and 

keep active. More and more, retirement 

villages are becoming communities 

within their own right.”

Device to prevent 

snoring 

Why put up with broken sleep, when 

help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance 

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and 

dry and raw throats. 

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth 

for comfort, and a follow up service is 

provided. 

Denise Lim has been involved with 

Snores for 22 years 

and has had a 98% 

success rate with 

people using the 

appliance. Snoring 

can be a health 

hazard, causing 

sleep apnoea, where 

the person actually 

stops breathing for 

short periods. 

It can cause 

short-term memory 

loss, tiredness and 

contribute to high 

blood pressure. 

The Snorex 

device does not feel 

restrictive, is noninvasive 

and carries 

a money-back guarantee. 

Many people are referred by ear, nose 

and throat specialists, however, anyone 

can phone for an appointment. 

For an information pack or to discuss 

the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim

Minerals are the building blocks of

like magnesium are need in much larger 

amounts and on a regular basis to prevent 

deficiency and maintain optimum health. 

A large number of us do not obtain 

sufficient magnesium from our diet 

and may notice some of the common 

signs of deficiency. Some of the more 

common symptoms that may be caused by 

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle 

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle

raised and/or unstable blood pressure, 

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, 

shortness of breath, swallowing problems, 

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, 

irritability, seizures, poor concentration 

and many more. 

Although many young people now 

show signs of magnesium deficiency 

symptoms generally worsen as we age 

due to our digestive system being less 

efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement 

of sufficient strength may be a sensible 

option to top up our vital magnesium 

levels. Not all magnesium supplements

REAL ESTATE 

Immaculate by the park 

116 McCormacks Bay Rd, Redcliffs 

Auction: Thursday, 20 September 2018 Unless Sold Prior 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 1 off-street park | Listing #SM0066 

Overlooking the expanse of 

McCormacks Bay Reserve and close to the 

coastline, this four-bedroom home offers 

a tantalising combination of location, 

lifestyle, comfort and convenience. 

Designed with function and flexibility 

in mind the floor plan hosts an open 

plan living area and an adjoining formal 

lounge, with the latter not only offering an 

alternative retreat, but it can also be opened 

to create one expansive entertaining space. 

However, if your inclination is to unwind 

outdoors, then there is an opening off 

the dining area which extends out to the 

courtyard and garden. 

Contributing further appeal and 

convenience to this already attractive 

home, buyers have the option to negotiate 

and purchase the property fully furnished 

which would allow you to quite literally 

move in and enjoy. 

Four double bedrooms include a master 

with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and 

French doors that extend out to your own 

private balcony. One bedroom is presently 

used as an office allowing you to work 

from home. 

Benefiting from a north-facing aspect 

that attracts abundant sunlight, the 

interior enjoys the warmth and comfort 

that’s offered by a gas fire and a heat pump 

which guarantees a comfortable climate 

throughout the year. 

Situated over the road from the reserve 

and a short drive from the vast selection of 

cafes, restaurants, bars and shops in both 

Redcliffs and Ferrymead. This property 

is zoned for Redcliffs School and has easy 

access to the sea, coastal pathway and 

cycle tracks. Walk along to the Saturdays 

farmers market and enjoy the lifestyle on 

offer here. 

Our owner has purchased in Australia 

and is serious about selling. Don’t be slow, 

it’s got to go! 

Auction date Thursday 20 September 

12:00pm (Grenadier House, 98 

Moorhouse Ave) Unless Sold Prior 

Open homes Wednesdays, Saturdays
