Heavy trucks using short cut 

frustrate Avonhead residents 

• By Anan Zaki 

MORE RESIDENTS have had 

enough of big trucks rumbling 

past their front doors. 

Avonhead people have now 

joined the ever-growing queue of 

people wanting the city council to 

do something about the issue. 

Residents say since the closure 

of the Avonhead and Russley 

Rd intersection in November 

2015, heavy vehicles are taking 

short cuts from Roydvale Ave, 

Hawthornden Rd and Cutts Rd. 

Hawthornden Rd resident Jon 

Leadbeater said the increased 

heavy vehicles made the area 

unsafe. 

“I’m worried about the safety of 

the pedestrians and the children 

in the area because it’s a narrow 

road.” 

It follows on from residents 

in Fendalton and Wigram also 

voicing opposition to heavy 

vehicles going through residential 

areas. 

Lady Wigram Retirement Village 

residents on Lodestar Ave 

complained about heavy traffic 

last year. 

Fendalton residents last month 

lost their bid to ban heavy vehicles 

from the Glandovey and Idris Rd 

intersection.

SAFETY CONCERNS: Hawthornden Rd resident Jon Leadbeater believes heavy vehicles are using the route as a short cut since 

the closure of the Avonhead and Russley Rd intersection.

YOU HAVE to sympathise with residents 

having to deal with big trucks rumbling 

past their homes (see page 1). 

Christchurch is growing at a quick 

rate. That means more people, more 

housing, more cars and more trucks. The roads are becoming 

increasingly congested. We’re nothing like Auckland but 

nevertheless our roading network is busy. 

It’s no surprise increasing numbers of motorists are seeking 

a quicker route to get to where they are going, and that often 

means away from the main arterials which grind to walking 

pace at times. 

Once quiet residential streets and roads are now busy. 

The answer is not an easy one, but there is one guarantee: Big 

trucks will continue to roll through more neighbourhoods.

Call to slow traffic near school 


VILLA MARIA College 

principal Deborah Brosnahan 

wants traffic to slow down before 

a student gets killed. 

Ms Brosnahan said Brodie St, 

on the west side of the school is 

dangerous in peak times. 

This year there have been two 

crashes at the intersection of 

Yaldhurst Rd and Brodie St, she 

said. 

“Teachers are always on duty 

to keep an eye on what’s happening, 

but we’re very conscious of 

the fear that a girl could be killed 

out there.” 

Both crashes were minor, she 

said. 

“One of them was a member of 

staff trying to cross [the intersection] 

in her car, and [she was 

with] one of our special needs 

students. 

“Some of our girls had to step 

into help an elderly woman who 

had a crash on that corner,” Ms 

Brosnahan said. 

The current speed limit on 

Brodie St is 50km/h. 

“That [speed limit] seems silly 

because most of us should be 

sensible and slowing down. 

“They do have some trafficcalming 

measures like speed 

bumps, but it is a narrow street 

and some signage to slow traffic 

would be good,” Ms Brosnahan 

said. 

The school also wanted parking 

restrictions to be better 

enforced on Brodie St. The street 

has a 30min parking limit on 

school days. 

Ms Brosnahan said many of 

the culprits were students but 

said reducing the parked cars 

would also improve safety. 

The community board has 

asked city council staff to look 

into reducing the speed limit on 

the street. 

Said board chairman Mike 

Mora: “We’ve already got staff 

working on it, they are doing traffic 

counts and research into the area.” 

DANGER: Villa 

Maria College 

principal 

Deborah 

Brosnahan is 

concerned 

about the 

speed of 

Brodie St 

traffic. 

He said the board gave the city 

council traffic department until 

October to report back with 

their findings. 

“We are looking at reducing 

the speed limit to 30km/h or 

40km/h and whatever other 

measures the traffic engineers 

may recommend,” Mr Mora 

said.

BURGLARIES DRY UP 

The number of ‘door-stepping’ 

burglaries has slowed down, 

Hornby police Senior Constable 

Bruce Ward says. There have been 

no reports of door-step burglaries 

in Broomfield, Hei Hei, Hornby, 

Rolleston and Wigram in the past 

two weeks, he said. This follows 

on after nine reported instances 

of door-stepping from mid-July 

to mid-August, after Western 

News highlighted the issue in July.

In Brief 

RECYCLED SPORTS GEAR 

Two more Riccarton locations have 

been added to the “Give Gear Get 

Great” initiative, which recycles 

used or unused sports equipment. 

The new bins are at Howzat Indoor 

Sports on Matipo St and Rebel 

Sports on Rotherham St. The only 

other bin in the area is at La Vida 

Church on Hansons Lane. The 

sports equipment collected will be 

given back to those in need in the 

community. 

SENIOR COOKING 

The Riccarton Baptist Church 

will next month begin a free 

community cooking programme 

for senior citizens. The 

programme, named Senior Chef, 

is organised by Pegasus Health. 

Senior chef co-ordinator Jane 

Callahan says healthcare research 

has shown that as older people 

were unlikely to prepare their own 

meals. Senior Chef consists of eight 

sessions, commencing on October 

15. To enrol phone 374 1639. 

GARDEN REOPENS 

The Riccarton West Community 

Garden reopened last week 

after being closed since June 

for maintenance. The garden 

on Peverel St, was opened in 

2013 by members of the Student 

Volunteer Army and the Riccarton 

community. The land has been 

loaned to the community by 

Housing New Zealand. 

•From page 1 

Mr Leadbeater said heavy vehicles 

cutting through Avonhead 

should use a “main arterial” 

such as Withells Rd. 

“Windows are vibrating on the 

houses in the morning, it’s just 

not suitable for heavy traffic. 

“There should be a limit put 

on the weight of vehicles travelling 

on Hawthornden and the 

bottom of Avonhead Rd and 

Roydvale Ave,” Mr Leadbeater 

said. 

The Avonhead Community 

Group asked the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board in April last year to 

restrict heavy vehicle usage on 

the streets. 

The board asked council staff 

to investigate whether vehicles 

weighing nine tonnes or greater 

could be banned from taking 

the route which beginning at 

Roydvale Ave. 

City council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas 

said that Roydvale Ave is a 

collector road, and intended to 

carry more heavy traffic than 

local residential streets. 

And for Hawthornden Rd, Mr 

Thomas said staff has not considered 

if heavy vehicles should 

be restricted at the present time. 

There is also no traffic count

data on the road, he said. 

The lack progress has frustrated 

Mr Leadbeater. 

“We were hoping that would 

all get sorted out, but nothing 

has happened.” 

Waimairi Ward councillor 

Raf Manji agreed with a heavy 

vehicle restriction at Roydvale 

Ave and Hawthornden Rd. 

“It can be a frustrating for 

elected members given we’re 

taking feedback from the community, 

but the way the traffic 

operations work is they have to 

do [traffic] counts and [they] 

tend to determine what the 

policy outcome is,” Cr Manji 

said.

Firefighters move into new Wigram base 



THE NEW $7.4 million fire 

station in Wigram was opened 

on Friday. 

The station replaces the old 

Sockburn station at the former 

Wigram Air Force base and will 

be home to 28 firefighters. 

Fire and 

Emergency 

Area Commander 

Dave 

Stackhouse 

said the new 

station will be a 

state of the art 

Dave 

Stackhouse 

facility. 

“[It] has been 

designed to 

meet the future 

needs of the Christchurch community. 

“The new station is equipped to 

deal with major events, including 

self-sufficient water storage, an 

on-site power generator and grey 

water holding tanks,” Mr Stackhouse 

said. 

The new station’s location 

on the corner of Wilmers and 

Springs Rd, will put the crew in 

a strategic position to support 

other stations in the city, he said. 

There will also be a purposebuilt 

chemical decontamination 

facility. 

“It means the crew coming 

back from a fire or emergency 

can decontaminate in a clean 

zone,” Mr Stackhouse said. 

The new station is part of Fire 

and Emergency’s $50 million city 

rebuild programme. 

It will see six career, one composite 

(career and volunteer) and 

three volunteer stations built in a 

redevelopment of the city’s entire 

network of fire stations. 

Other stations that have been 

completed are Anzac Drive, 

Spreydon and Woolston. 

“Fire and Emergency has provided 

the foundation of a great 

emergency service capability, one 

that will contribute to Christchurch’s 

protection and resilience 

for many years. 

“This rebuild programme 

represents a significant organisational 

investment and has 

provided a unique opportunity to 

build a future-proofed network 

of stations in Christchurch that 

meets community needs and 

addresses an ever-changing call 

type and demand.” 

NEW STATION:

It relocated to the former 

RNZAF Wigram fire station in 

1997. 

In 2017, firefighters in 

Wigram Station responded to 

1526 incidents in their area.

Community groups share $278,000 


THIRTY-THREE community 

groups will be getting a share 

of a $278,000 ratepayer-funded 

grant. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board moved 

to grant the money last week. 

The highest beneficiary of the 

fund was Hornby Presbyterian 

Community Trust, which received 

$38,000. The trust is in its 

30th year of operation. 

The money will come from the 

board’s $570,000 Strengthening 

Communities Fund. 

The trust’s director Dr Blair 

Stirling said the funding from 

the community board is invaluable 

and provides cover for staff 

wages providing social services. 

“We’re trying to provide for 

psychological, sociological and 

physical needs of people.” 

The trust has 13 counsellors 

and two social workers providing 

services for 200 children 

in the south-west of the city. In 

total, the trust sees 2000 clients 

a year. 

The services also include providing 

firewood to families in 

need, Dr Stirling said. 

“The [board’s] contribution is 

part of quite a significant bit of 

work that we do.” 

It operates a mixed payment 

system, he said. 

“Where people can afford 

the service, they pay. We use 

the profit to fully subsidise the 

service to the more vulnerable,” 

Dr Stirling said. 

The board has provided funding 

to the group throughout the 

past decade. 

“The community board has 

been a tremendous support for 

the trust over the years,” Dr 

Stirling said. 

One-hundred and twenty-five 

thousand dollars from the fund 

was pre-allocated last year for 

four multi-year community projects. 

They were the Community 

Development Network, Halswell 

Community Project, Halswell 

Menzshed and the Oak Development 

Trust. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said it was normal to allocate 

a six-figure sum to various 

community groups early in the 

financial year. 

Mr Mora said the fund has a 

strict criteria and can only be 

used by non-profit community 

organisations. 

Nine sports clubs from the 

city’s west also received a share 

of the fund.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Two offenders who broke into the New Zealand Cars yard were caught 

on a CCTV security camera. (Below) – Managers Ryan Lawton and Christopher Schwartz stand by 

the now repaired fence, which was cut open by the thieves. 

Car yard burglars caught 

on camera in Sockburn 


BURGLARS BROKE into a 

Sockburn car yard and stole two 

cars, using one to tow the other 

away. 

Two offenders cut through 

a fence at New Zealand Cars 

Canterbury on Waterloo Rd in 

the early hours of Monday last 

week. 

A $23,000 red 2009 Mazda 

MPS turbo, and a $9000 white 

2007 Toyota Wish were stolen, 

business manager Christopher 

Schwartz said. 

Both cars did not have 

registration number plates. 

The stolen Mazda MPS was 

a “relatively rare” version with 

only eight or nine in the city, he 

said. 

“They had to tow that one 

out by using the other stolen 

[Toyota Wish].” A set of number 

plates from another car at the 

dealership was also stolen. The 

registration number GTW691 

was taken from a 2008 Mazda 

Atenza sedan. 

“It’s a sad event really,” Mr 

Schwartz said. 

The break-in was captured on a 

CCTV security camera. But 

the offenders could not be 

identified because of the quality 

of the footage. Mr Schwartz 

appealed for witnesses to come 

forward. 

Anyone with information

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 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. 

“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

Red zone barriers 

get bigger to deter 

boy racers, vandals 

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 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.”

Quizmasters battle at Cobham Intermediate 


FENDALTON Open-Air 

and St Martins 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.

Your Local Views 

Frustration over Russley parking 

Avonhead 

Community 

Group 

chairman 

Somnath 

Sarkar Bagchi 

is critical 

of the city 

council’s ability to solve 

ongoing parking problems 

in Russley 

WESTERN NEWS 

THE CITY council in my 

view has a simple community 

involvement strategy: “Stall and 

they’ll go away.” 

The ratepayers of north-west 

Christchurch are unfortunately 

all too familiar with this strategy. 

Seldom have city council 

officers genuinely listened to 

residents’ concerns and taken 

meaningful steps to address 

them. 

One recent example comes to 

mind – the parking problems 

faced by residents of Fenhall St, 

Pinehurst Cres and Bentley St. 

These residents have had to 

put up with cars parked in front 

of their houses all day for six 

years. This is a result of a bungled 

city council decision to allow a 

business park at the end of their 

street without sufficient on-site 

parking. 

Residents got fed up with 

council trying to “mitigate” with 

NUISANCE: Car parking spaces are hard to come by on Fenhall 

St near the Airport Business Park. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

poorly enforced parking limits 

and, in April last year, asked for 

a “residents only” parking policy 

for the area. 

Sixteen months later, the city 

council has not yet formed a view 

on whether or not “residents 

only” parking is an option. 

City council officers are simply 

not interested in responding 

meaningfully to residents’ 

concerns. This is at odds with 

the message that we get from our 

elected representatives. 

Representatives encourage us 

to come up with initiatives and 

approach them with the local 

issues. 

We do so and then the city 

council does nothing about them. 

Our councillors have ultimately 

failed to break the officers’ 

hegemony over deciding what 

happens where. 

Readers respond to the planned demolition of the 

Sockburn Service Centre not scheduled until 2022 

Denis Lynn Gillision – 

Why are we so slow at doing 

these things? 

Japan could have 

rebuilt two large 

cities by now. It’s 

pathetic how slow 

things move. 

Adele Robyn 

– Bulldoze it now. 

It’s an eyesore. 

Amanda Holden – 

Bulldoze Antonio Hall as well. 

Robyn Rodgers – By 2022 

the price to demolish will have 

doubled, what 

are they waiting 

for? 

Amanda 

Stewart – 

Eyesore and needs 

to go. 

Craig Watson 

– You probably 

couldn’t call this leading by 

example. 

The Subs to play Rockquest final 

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, 

pop-punk 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 

SCHOOLS 

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.

Eight Hornby club 

SPORTS 

gymnasts on podium 

at China tournament 

HORNBY’S Olympia 

Gymnastics Club has done 

exceptionally well at a 

high-quality tournament in 

Beijing. 

THe team competed in China 

under the guidance of coach 

Elena Mesheryakova. They 

claimed eight podium finishes 

against a top international field 

from China, Russia, Malaysia, 

Thailand, Philippines, Hong 

Kong, South Korea and Ukraine. 

Burnside High School student 

Paris Chin was the standout 

performer for the Olympia 

team, and won the overall 

junior category against many 

experienced international 

gymnasts. 

“Paris is one of New 

Zealand’s top gymnasts, and 

the prize money will help her 

to achieve her goals to become 

a top international performer,” 

Mesheryakova said. 

The tournament was organised 

and hosted by well known 

Chinese gymnast Ling Zhong, 

who represented his country at 

the 2004 Olympics in Athens. It 

also featured many other famous 

Olympians as special guests and 

judges. 

The Olympia squad returned 

with medals in several different 

age group categories for most of 

their routines. 

Ava Gearry from Oaklands 

School and Lilly Eastmure from 

Halswell School dominated 

their age groups, winning 

the freehand, ball and rope 

competitions. 

Ava won the freehand 

competition ahead of Lilly. But 

Lilly claimed gold in the ball 

category with Ava in fourth. The 

Oaklands pupil then got another 

gold in the rope competition. 

St Andrew’s College year 3 

pupil Nika Meyn claimed gold 

for Olympia in the freehand 

section and bronze with the 

ball. 

PERFORMANCE: Paris Chin won the overall junior category at 

the Zhong Ling Cup in China. 

PHOTO: OLYMPIA GYMNASTICS CLUB 

Jocelyn Cai from Oaklands 

School completed Olympia’s 

success in the freehand by taking 

out silver, as well as a runner-up 

medal in the hoop routine. 

Eleasha Chan, a year 6 pupil 

from Aidanfield Christian 

School, took bronze in the 

freehand and finished fourth 

with her ribbon, while year 

7 pupil Mikayla Chin from 

Avonhead School claimed two 

fourth places in the freehand 

and rope sections. 

The competition was 

the second in Asia for the 

Olympia squad this year after a 

tournament in Osaka, Japan. 

Mesheryakova said the 

importance of international 

experience and exposure cannot 

be underestimated. 

“These tournaments are very 

important for the girls progress 

and development as well as 

the valuable life and cultural 

experiences they gain,” said 

Mesheryakova, who used to 

coach in Uzbekistan, her native 

country. 

“Rhythmic gymnastics is a 

dynamic and compelling sport 

for girls that challenges body 

and mind.” 

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. 

McLennan in 

ring for first pro 

boxing event 

• By Jacob Page 

HALSWELL’S Megyn 

McLennan started boxing five 

years ago purely to lose weight. 

But in 11 days, she will be part 

of the first professional women’s 

bout to main event a card in 

Christchurch. 

The 39-year-old registered 

nurse will be in the main event 

at 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 

a 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,” 

McLennan said. 

“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,” said 

Jenkins. She 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.”

New challenge for St Thomas footballers 

WESTERN NEWS 

• By Jacob Page 

THE ST Thomas of Canterbury 

College football team has 

sounded a warning to their 

rivals ahead of the nationals 

in Christchurch this week 

by claiming the Canterbury 

secondary schools title 2-1 over 

Burnside. 

St Thomas’ finished fourth 

at the nationals last year after 

losing the Canterbury final to St 

Andrew’s College on penalties 

and the team is eager to push for 

more success this week. 

The nationals are being held at 

Avonhead Park and the Christchurch 

Football Centre. 

St Andrew’s , Cashmere High 

School, Lincoln High School, 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

and Burnside will also take part 

in the tournament. 

St Thomas’ co-coach Jacob Allen 

said he was thrilled how his 

team bounced-back from conceding 

a goal in the first two minutes 

of the final, last Wednesday night 

to claim victory. 

“The boys didn’t want to have 

the same feeling they had last 

year so the fought hard to get 

back into the game after the early 

set-back.” 

Allen said they would love to 

repeat their fourth place at nationals 

but accepted making the 

quarter-finals would be a good 

start. 

“It’s tournament football so if 

we can make the top eight and 

then right our luck from there 

that’d be a good start,” he said. 

“We only lost four Year 13s 

from last year so we still have a 

good core of players so if we get 

a bit of luck like we did last year 

then we should go well.” 

Hamilton Boys’ High School 

are defending champions. 

SPORTS 

CELEBRATIONS: St Thomas’ claimed the Canterbury premier secondary school football title after 

a 2-1 win over Burnside High School last Wednesday. 

Hornby High School prevail in tight final 

HORNBY HIGH School won the 

Friday night open division one 

basketball competition with a 

57-47 win over Lincoln High 

School. 

The game was closer than the 

10-point margin suggested, with 

Lincoln staying within striking 

distance for much of the first 

three-quarters. 

Hornby were able to hold 

their nerve in the closing minutes 

to end their campaign as champions. 

Principal Robin Sutton said the 

school was proud of their 

achievement. 

“The girl’s achievement was 

an outstanding demonstration 

of our school values of commitment, 

achievement, resilience and 

respect,” he said. 

“We are proud of them all.

Golden Healthcare 

Group 

Golden Healthcare Group provides 

dementia, aged care and mental health 

support at seven facilities employing 

259 staff and cares for approximately 

350 residents. Also provides Villas and 

Apartments 

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 

to fill in the day. 

The next stage of Lady Wigram is 

now well underway, featuring another 

14 apartments, swimming pool, spa 

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.”

Wigram for a tour of their latest site.

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

therefore the crops and food are also

nutrients we require the body will

Based on this they

ALL IN ONE, a nutrient 

dense powdered formula that 

provides superior absorption as well as 

comprehensive nutrition. They decided on 

a powdered formula that could be made 

as a great tasting drink because liquid 

nutrition is the easiest way for the body 

to absorb nutrients especially if digestive 

issues are present. The formula provides 

78 vital ingredients that work together 

in synergy optimising each other’s

contains a carefully balanced blend of 

nutritionally rich greens, vegetables, 

fruits, minerals, vitamins, essential 

fatty acids, plant and herbal extracts, 

superfoods, powerful antioxidants,

enzymes, fibre plus a uniquely alkalising

Are you Magnesium 

deficient? 

Minerals are the building blocks of 

good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others 

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 

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, 

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, 

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 

however are well absorbed by everyone. 

Luckily GO HEALTHY’S marine sourced

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
