DOUBLE TROUBLE:<br />

Abby Mason<br />

balances her<br />

passion for writing<br />

and tennis.<br />

Tennis star also a dab hand with poetry<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

A RISING tennis star has tried<br />

her hand at poetry – and come<br />

out on top.<br />

St Margaret’s College student<br />

Abby Mason won the WORD<br />

Secondary Schools Science<br />

Writing Competition.<br />

It was all in a day’s work for<br />

the 14-year-old, who has also<br />

had success in tennis.<br />

Abby was the youngest member<br />

of the St Margaret’s senior<br />

A tennis team which won the<br />

South Island championships and<br />

made the semi-final at nationals.<br />

She was also part of the<br />

Elmwood Tennis Club premier<br />

team which won the Canterbury<br />

metro competition and was<br />

runner-up at the 14s national<br />

tournament.<br />

Papanui<br />

businesses<br />

could<br />

keep their<br />

car parking<br />

spaces<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

PAPANUI BUSINESSES could<br />

have their on-street parking<br />

spared as plans for the Main<br />

North Rd bus priority project are<br />

finalised.<br />

The Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board approved the plans<br />

at a meeting on Friday, with an<br />

amendment that would save a<br />

stretch between Harewood Rd<br />

and Winston Ave from being<br />

converted into a bus lane.<br />

Super Liquor owner Carolyn<br />

Moffat said that while she was<br />

glad the amendment had been<br />

approved by the board, she was<br />

worried the city council would<br />

“veto it.”<br />

“If they put a bus lane in, it<br />

would have to be a 24-hour bus<br />

lane because the road is quite<br />

narrow and can’t accommodate<br />

both the lane and parking. So it’s<br />

a 24-hour bus lane, or nothing at<br />

all, there’s not room for both,” she<br />

said.<br />

“The car parks outside our shop<br />

get used a lot at night, so having<br />

a bus lane there when it wouldn’t<br />

even required at night would<br />

really affect us.”<br />

COMMONSENSE LOOKS like it will<br />

prevail over the contentious bus priority<br />

lane issue on Main North Rd (see page 1).<br />

The Papanui-Innes Community Board<br />

is backing retailers’ call not to spare the<br />

stretch of road between Main North and<br />

Winstone Ave. It means on street parking for the businesses<br />

along that stretch of busy road is likely to stay.<br />

Parking is vital to a business’s livelihood. Customers means<br />

turnover; turnover means bills and wages can be paid and<br />

people hired.<br />

If there are no parks people keep on driving and that’s when<br />

problems start. So the community board has to be applauded for<br />

taking the commonsense approach.<br />

It’s decision now goes to the city council for approval. Let’s<br />

hope the council agrees with the community board.<br />

Road safety plan approved<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

PARKING CHANGES around<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />

will make it easier for motorists<br />

and cyclists to share the road<br />

safely.<br />

A proposal has been approved<br />

to implement a three-minute<br />

restricted drop-off and pick-up<br />

zone along the north side of<br />

Kahu Rd.<br />

It will operate<br />

from 8.30am<br />

to 9.30am and<br />

from 2pm to<br />

4pm every<br />

school day, but<br />

outside these<br />

Sam<br />

MacDonald<br />

times parking<br />

will be unrestricted.<br />

The moving of<br />

two bus stops and an extension of<br />

the no-stopping lines on Girvan<br />

Rd will also be implemented.<br />

The decision was approved in a<br />

combined meeting between the<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

and the Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Boards.<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald said it was a good<br />

“middle ground” for both the<br />

school and residents in the area.<br />

“We ultimately moved with<br />

option two, which was to keep<br />

the parking because there was<br />

enough room on the road to<br />

have the existing cycleways and<br />

not limit the parking,” he said.<br />

“It was a sort of happy medium<br />

between what the school<br />

staff wanted and what the residents<br />

wanted.”<br />

Following the Christchurch<br />

earthquakes, CBHS had undergone<br />

significant redevelopment<br />

which was estimated to continue<br />

for the next three to five years.<br />

The redevelopment caused<br />

cycle parking facilities to be<br />

relocated, which resulted in significantly<br />

greater cycle activity<br />

on the Kahu Rd frontage.<br />

The approved changes, costing<br />

$2000 to implement, would<br />

make it safer for students to<br />

cycle around the school.<br />

“With the developments at the<br />

school, where the bike sheds are<br />

now might not be the permanent<br />

place going forward,” he said.<br />

“This change helps deal with<br />

those safety issues now, while<br />

at the same protecting the<br />

residents’ amenities as well . . .<br />

the way we’ve set it up, people<br />

HAPPY<br />

MEDIUM: The<br />

approved<br />

road<br />

upgrades will<br />

make it safer<br />

for students<br />

cycling to<br />

and from<br />

Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High<br />

School.<br />

will still be able to cycle and get<br />

to and from, we’ve just balanced<br />

that with the need to maintain<br />

car parks.”<br />

Mr MacDonald also said the<br />

board went with option two<br />

so as not to take parking opportunities<br />

away from weekend<br />

market-goers.<br />

“We had to think about the<br />

Riccarton Bush, in terms of the<br />

market on Saturday. We just<br />

can’t afford to keep taking car<br />

parks out of residential areas.”<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

School declined to comment.<br />

RICHMOND MAINTENANCE<br />

Council staff are continuing work<br />

on the maintenance programme<br />

for Richmond and developing<br />

a clear understanding of the<br />

requirements for the work to be<br />

done. Both the capital team and<br />

the maintenance team have been<br />

working closely together to ensure<br />

that resources are maximised.<br />

Maintenance work has been<br />

carried out in the area including<br />

clearing sumps, sweeping and<br />

channel clearing. This has<br />

resulted in reduced incidences<br />

of flooding in Crystal, Randall,<br />

Petrie, Warden, Dudley and Slater<br />

streets in recent rain events. Staff<br />

are working on the development<br />

of a regular newsletter to the<br />

community and the Papanui-<br />

Innes Community Board to ensure<br />

everyone is well informed.<br />

PAVILION REPAIRS FINISHED<br />

Repair work has finished on<br />

the St Albans Pavilion. The old<br />

sports pavilion was demolished<br />

due to earthquake damage and<br />

replaced with a new pavilion<br />

that incorporates two fully<br />

accessible public toilets. Work was<br />

continuing on the park, which had<br />

been plagued by drainage issues<br />

which left the sports fields in poor<br />

condition and at times unable to<br />

be used. As part of the upgrade a<br />

new drainage system will be put<br />

in place.<br />

Donated chairs unveiled at hospital<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

TWO ST Andrew’s College<br />

students have honoured their<br />

late father Kevin ‘Chalky’ Carr<br />

by cutting the ribbon on <strong>18</strong><br />

chemotherapy treatment chairs<br />

donated by the Chalky Carr<br />

Trust.<br />

Jamie and Josh Carr visited the<br />

Christchurch Hospital oncology<br />

unit to celebrate the arrival of<br />

the specially-designed treatment<br />

chairs that are making patients<br />

more comfortable when having<br />

chemotherapy or transfusions.<br />

The trust’s vision was to raise<br />

funds to make a practical impact<br />

for a person living with a cancer<br />

diagnosis or their family members<br />

who need support through<br />

the journey.<br />

The charity’s founder Mr Carr<br />

was a decorated hero and All<br />

Blacks logistics manager who<br />

received treatment in Christchurch<br />

Hospital’s Oncology Unit<br />

and wanted to help others going<br />

through treatment.<br />

He could see how better chairs<br />

may not necessarily reduce the<br />

pain for those undergoing treatment,<br />

but could make it more<br />

tolerable.<br />

Mr Carr passed away in January<br />

this year. He is survived by<br />

his wife Sarah, an emergency<br />

department physician at the<br />

hospital, and their sons Jamie<br />

and Josh, who attend St Andrew’s<br />

College.<br />

Oncology charge nurse manager<br />

Hayley Beckman, who was<br />

instrumental in helping to make<br />

the donation possible, was delighted<br />

that the chairs were now<br />

in the ward and providing many<br />

benefits for patients and staff.<br />

Registered nurse Helen<br />

O’Connor, who cared for Mr<br />

Carr during his treatment, said<br />

the chairs had been a phenomenal<br />

gift and had already made a<br />

difference.<br />

“We had a clinical emergency<br />

earlier on the day where we used<br />

the chair to its full potential. We<br />

were able to lie the chair flat and<br />

move the patient into another<br />

room quickly and easily,” she said.<br />

“Previously we would have had<br />

to transfer the patient from the<br />

chair and onto a bed first.”<br />

At the event, Chalky Carr<br />

Trust patron Gemma McCaw<br />

also unveiled plans for the trust’s<br />

new partnership with Blue Star<br />

Taxis, named ‘Chalky’s Cars’, that<br />

will provide free and subsidised<br />

taxis for patients to attend their<br />

treatment appointments in the<br />

hospital’s oncology department.<br />

Christchurch Hospital with<br />

Sarah, Mr Carr identified the<br />

need make the journey there<br />

and return home easier for those<br />

undergoing chemotherapy.<br />

those worries away,” Mr Gamble<br />

said.<br />

Cycleway<br />

traffic light<br />

hit again<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

A “dangerously-placed” cycleway<br />

traffic light has been hit for the<br />

third time since it was installed a<br />

year ago.<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board member<br />

John Stringer<br />

said he raised<br />

concerns about<br />

the traffic light<br />

on the corner of<br />

Sissons Dr and<br />

Sawyers Arms<br />

Rd when it was<br />

installed, but<br />

nothing had<br />

been done.<br />

“Traffic<br />

that has freely turned left at that<br />

junction now run directly into<br />

this cycleway’s post whereas before<br />

they had a free turn. If you’re not<br />

looking directly at it, it’s in your<br />

way,” he said.<br />

“It’s a no-brainer. It’s a random<br />

new post that is in the way of left<br />

turning traffic, it has been hit<br />

again, and it doesn’t need to be<br />

there.”Mr Stringer said he would<br />

bring the issue up at the next board<br />

meeting to see if it could be moved<br />

2m back from traffic turning into<br />

Sissons Drive.<br />

Businesses could keep parking spaces<br />

•From page 1<br />

She said she hoped the city<br />

council would consider the<br />

proposal “from the perspective<br />

of businesses.”<br />

“They make these changes<br />

to benefit people commuting<br />

through Papanui, shuffling them<br />

through to North Canterbury,<br />

but they should prioritise people<br />

who live and work here.”<br />

The Crystal People owner Glen<br />

Tregurtha said the amendment<br />

was “fantastic”, as he had made<br />

deputations on the issue multiple<br />

times to try and save the parking<br />

spaces across the road from his<br />

business.<br />

“I came at this from an interesting<br />

angle as I am a cyclist and<br />

bus-user, but I’m also a business<br />

owner. Often I find business<br />

owners get typecast as overvaluing<br />

their on-street parking,<br />

and you just have to step back<br />

and look at it rationally.”<br />

He said he hoped Papanui<br />

would be seen as a destination,<br />

and not just because of Northlands<br />

Shopping Centre.<br />

“We’re really trying to push<br />

Papanui as a key activity centre,<br />

a destination. It’s not just about<br />

the mall, we want to push what’s<br />

happening in our village,” he<br />

said.<br />

“Christchurch just has so<br />

much potential now, we’re getting<br />

so many things right . . . I<br />

COMPROMISE: Businesses on Main North Rd could keep their on-street parking as the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community Board approves a plan to keep a stretch of the road from being<br />

converted to a bus lane.<br />

just feel like sometimes these<br />

teams let down the smaller centres,<br />

and too much focus is put<br />

on the central city.’’<br />

Rose and Thistle Bar general<br />

manager Sonya Gibson said losing<br />

those parking spaces would<br />

have an effect on “most of the<br />

businesses” in the area.<br />

“I think for any of the businesses<br />

in the area, as far as<br />

viability for people to actually<br />

stop, parking is paramount. You<br />

can’t just go over and park at the<br />

mall.”<br />

Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />

said the amendment was a “good<br />

compromise.”<br />

“From a board perspective<br />

what was important was that we<br />

stayed primarily true to what the<br />

bus lane was trying to approve,<br />

but also recognise that there<br />

were businesses and others that<br />

needed to be considered,” she<br />

said.<br />

“I said in the meeting, I<br />

knew we weren’t going to make<br />

everyone happy, but we were<br />

trying to make as many happy as<br />

we could.”<br />

She said that kerbing and paving<br />

upgrades at the Harewood<br />

Rd, Winston Ave intersection<br />

would still be included in the<br />

proposal.<br />

The proposal will be presented<br />

to the city council at an<br />

upcoming meeting.<br />

Tennis star pens award-winning poem<br />

•From page 1<br />

Abby’s award-winning<br />

poem, titled Newton’s Third<br />

Law, was picked for first place<br />

by the WORD competition’s<br />

judge, poet and author Helen<br />

Heath.<br />

“I’m part of this school for<br />

young writers thing, which I<br />

go to on Saturday mornings,<br />

and they mentioned the<br />

competition, so I decided to<br />

write something,” she said.<br />

“I love writing, you can just do<br />

so much with it, you can write<br />

whatever you want.”<br />

Abby said she was the first in<br />

her family to dabble in creative<br />

writing, which she became<br />

interested in after joining a<br />

writing group as a pupil at<br />

Selwyn House School.<br />

“I had this one teacher who<br />

was amazing, she taught me so<br />

much. It was the highlight of<br />

my week going to those creative<br />

writing sessions.”<br />

Her father Rhett Mason was a<br />

former junior Davis Cup player<br />

and the pair played mixed<br />

doubles competitions alongside<br />

each other.<br />

Abby said she had to juggle<br />

her passions for writing and<br />

tennis with her schoolwork and<br />

social life.<br />

“I started playing tennis when<br />

I was about seven, but my dad<br />

is a really good tennis player so<br />

he started throwing tennis balls<br />

at me when I was three or four,”<br />

she said.<br />

“Sometimes it’s a bit of a<br />

struggle to balance everything, I<br />

don’t know how I manage to fit<br />

it all in, but I do.”<br />

And when asked which of<br />

her passions she might pursue<br />

as a career, she couldn’t<br />

decide.<br />

“I’d really like to continue<br />

doing both for as long as I can.<br />

I might change how I think in a<br />

few years, but for now I want to<br />

do both.”<br />

Newton’s Third Law<br />

When I drove to your house<br />

you said<br />

take me somewhere<br />

you didn’t want to talk about<br />

your dad<br />

he wasn’t worth talking about<br />

everything you did, set him off.<br />

There was silence, apart from<br />

the grounding of tyres<br />

against the dusty road.<br />

It was hard to see straight,<br />

in the dark, on the coast,<br />

with the moon<br />

distancing itself,<br />

making the waves drowsy.<br />

The only light was tiny balls of<br />

gas in the sky<br />

and because I took my hand<br />

off the wheel to hold yours<br />

I didn’t see the truck<br />

or the ditch<br />

or the stars,<br />

as we flipped.<br />

Grab your girlfriends, mum or daughters<br />

and come have a great day out!<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

LOUD: Police<br />

say they will<br />

take action<br />

against boy<br />

racers if they<br />

are caught<br />

breaking the<br />

law.<br />

Boy racers frustrate<br />

Fendalton Rd residents<br />

Work starts on<br />

Burnside pump station<br />

WORK AT the Burnside<br />

pump station will start this<br />

week to convert the below<br />

ground well head to an above<br />

ground well head.<br />

A contractor will be on-site<br />

to carry out set-up work,<br />

including fencing, signage and<br />

sediment erosion control.<br />

The well head conversion<br />

will take about 55 days and<br />

aims to ensure the continued<br />

supply of secure drinking<br />

water.<br />

Following completion,<br />

there will be no need to temporarily<br />

chlorinate the water<br />

at this site when all wells are<br />

in use.<br />

The Burnside pump station<br />

supplies water to about a fifth<br />

of the homes in Christchurch’s<br />

north-west zone. It pumps out<br />

about 1.8 million cubic metres<br />

of water annually.<br />

The completion of work on<br />

the Burnside pump station<br />

would bring the north-west<br />

closer to being chlorine-free.<br />

Last week, work finished<br />

on the new Gardiners pump<br />

station in Harewood Park,<br />

replacing the old Harewood<br />

pump station.<br />

The city council also stopped<br />

chlorinating the Thompsons<br />

water pump station in late<br />

August, bringing the total<br />

number of pump stations<br />

across the city not being<br />

chlorinated to nine.<br />

FENDALTON HAS been<br />

targeted by late-night boy racers.<br />

Police believe an incident on<br />

Fendalton Rd on <strong>September</strong> 8<br />

was a one-off, but will closely<br />

monitor the area.<br />

Canterbury road policing manager<br />

Inspector Ash Tabb said<br />

that while Fendalton Rd was not<br />

usually a hot-spot for boy racers,<br />

it was a closely-watched issue in<br />

the city.<br />

“Canterbury police have a<br />

dedicated team which liaises<br />

with the car enthusiasts group,<br />

and uses education and enforcement<br />

intervention to change<br />

behaviour,” he said.<br />

“Where there are breaches of<br />

the law – such as illegally noisy<br />

vehicles, excessive speed, and<br />

other types of dangerous behaviour<br />

– all police officers will take<br />

action against offenders.”<br />

Cheryl and Tony, who didn’t<br />

want their last name published,<br />

live on Fendalton Rd and were<br />

regularly kept awake on weekend<br />

nights due to the noise of boy<br />

racers on the nearby central city<br />

avenues, including Harper Ave.<br />

But Cheryl said a group was<br />

racing up and down Fendalton<br />

Rd on the Saturday night until<br />

about 4am.<br />

“They were using<br />

Fendalton Rd as a racetrack<br />

. . . the noise was<br />

deafening,” she said.<br />

“Saturday night, I<br />

was just about to go<br />

out and . . . I don’t<br />

know what I’d do.<br />

Lucky I didn’t have a<br />

gun.”<br />

“We don’t have children,<br />

but the people<br />

baby, and on the other<br />

side they have little toddlers.<br />

When my grandchildren come<br />

and stay the night, it’s really hard<br />

to get them to sleep,” she said.<br />

Cheryl said the couple felt they<br />

had no rights, in spite of paying<br />

an “exorbitant” amount in rates.<br />

“It’s just a hideous amount in<br />

rates, and there’s a whole lot of<br />

Jamie Gough<br />

restrictions around here . . . but<br />

then you don’t have any rights<br />

when it comes to crazy people on<br />

Fendalton Rd.”<br />

Cheryl wrote a letter to city<br />

councillor Jamie Gough in a bid<br />

to find a solution to the issue.<br />

She said she understood<br />

there were no bylaws<br />

in place to prevent<br />

boy racer activities, but<br />

something needed to<br />

be done.<br />

Cr Gough said boy<br />

racing hadn’t been as<br />

“prevalent” in Fendalton<br />

as other areas of<br />

the city, but it could<br />

become an issue if it<br />

wasn’t monitored.<br />

“The nature of this<br />

though is that it is literally a mobile<br />

problem and the hot-spots<br />

change, so we’ll need to watch<br />

it closely to determine the best<br />

course of action,” he said.<br />

“I think we all hope that this<br />

is just a one-off, but we still<br />

shouldn’t assume anything or be<br />

complacent about it.”<br />

Citycare workers have started clearing weeds from<br />

Wairarapa Stream after Merivale residents voiced their<br />

concerns over flooding from the stream. Colin and Valerie<br />

Averill, who live on Garden Rd, approached the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood Community Board because the stream<br />

had been overflowing and killing trees on their property.<br />

Maintenance work had been carried out about twice a year<br />

but due to high water flow the issue had deteriorated and<br />

thorough weed-clearing needed to be carried out. Mr Averill<br />

said the couple were pleased work had begun.<br />

Checkout award for Morsal<br />

TOP JOB: Checkout<br />

supervisor Morsal Darwesh<br />

won the national Countdown<br />

Checker of the Year<br />

competition.<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

CHECKOUT supervisor Morsal<br />

Darwesh loves her job.<br />

And her passion for her role<br />

at Countdown Northlands has<br />

earned her the chain’s Checker<br />

of the Year award.<br />

Miss Darwesh started out as<br />

a checkout operator at Countdown<br />

Moorhouse Ave in 2012<br />

and worked her way up to being<br />

a supervisor.<br />

“It was just a part-time job<br />

I took back at high school to<br />

support my family and to have<br />

some money so I could be more<br />

independent,” she said.<br />

“I’m one of those people who<br />

is confident and loves talking<br />

with people. I do get shy, but<br />

when it comes to work I’m a really<br />

outgoing person.”<br />

She said her role came with its<br />

challenges, but she took them in<br />

her stride.<br />

“When you can turn someone’s<br />

bad day into a good day<br />

and put a smile on their face, it’s<br />

amazing.”<br />

She transferred to the Northlands<br />

branch in April, and she<br />

said the team there inspired<br />

her to take part in the national<br />

Checker of the Year competition.<br />

“All these years the Checker of<br />

the Year award was right there in<br />

front of me and I just wasn’t confident<br />

enough to know whether I<br />

had that much faith in myself to<br />

be able to win,” she said.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

“My team encouraged me to<br />

apply . . . my checkout manager<br />

said: ‘I think you have the potential<br />

to win’ so I said ‘okay, I’ll<br />

take your word then’ and that’s<br />

how it started.”<br />

The competition required entrants<br />

to complete several checkout<br />

challenges and test their<br />

knowledge in a final interview.<br />

Miss Darwesh took part in<br />

an in-store checkout competition<br />

last year and came second,<br />

which spurred her to compete<br />

on a national level.<br />

She said she felt “incredible”<br />

after winning the Checker of the<br />

Year award, which came with<br />

prizes of a $2000 Visa Gift Card<br />

and a golden cash register.<br />

“I wanted to do this for my<br />

team, to make them proud,” she<br />

said.<br />

“It feels amazing because I<br />

took a risk. Even though I didn’t<br />

pass the first time, I didn’t give<br />

up. That’s one thing I realised<br />

about myself is that to achieve<br />

something, no matter how many<br />

times I fall, I will get up and<br />

achieve that.”<br />

Miss Darwesh was studying<br />

management and HR at<br />

Canterbury University and<br />

would like to become a customer<br />

service manager in the near<br />

future.<br />

like to be a Member of<br />

Parliament,” Mr Brownlee<br />

said.<br />

“For someone who is<br />

interested in the general<br />

constructs of civil society<br />

and the processes within<br />

that, it’s a great opportunity.”<br />

He said he would look for a<br />

candidate who was “active here in<br />

our community” and had a passion<br />

for politics<br />

“Someone who has got the ability<br />

to articulate their thoughts,<br />

someone who clearly thinks<br />

about things,” he said.<br />

“And someone who has the<br />

capacity to absorb an argument<br />

held on <strong>September</strong> 3.<br />

Bel Canto also won the Tour<br />

Meanwhile, Villa Maria’s<br />

a silver medal in the finale.<br />

she was proud of her students<br />

achievements.<br />

“It was a real privilege to<br />

compete in the national finale.<br />

It is a dream for so many choirs,<br />

and we felt very fortunate to be<br />

able to take part.”<br />

Mrs Hnat said the girls were<br />

nervous and excited to perform<br />

on stage.<br />

“But as a choir we always make<br />

sure that we do not focus on<br />

awards or scores.<br />

“We’d rather [focus on] how<br />

much we can grow from an<br />

experience and how much we<br />

can move an audience through a<br />

performance,” she said.<br />

Con Brio singer Ella Berry, 17,<br />

said the finale was an “awesome”<br />

event.<br />

“Every member gave<br />

everything they had and<br />

put their heart and soul into<br />

communicating the essence of<br />

each piece.<br />

“We all really wanted to make<br />

Naomi proud and perform to the<br />

best of our ability, and our hard<br />

work during rehearsals payed off<br />

for this,” Ella said.<br />

A spokeswoman for the school<br />

said the performance was “well<br />

supported” by the community.<br />

Burnside Primary School<br />

pupils also got creative with<br />

harakeke plant weaving in<br />

celebration of the week long<br />

event. Weaver Simon Rutherford<br />

visited the school and taught<br />

a group of year 4 pupils how<br />

to weave flax to make a taka, a<br />

traditional mat.<br />

Pupil Riley Goodall said the<br />

weaving session was the highlight<br />

of his week.<br />

“I loved weaving with Simon,”<br />

he said. “Simon demonstrated<br />

how to weave a taka; he finished<br />

his in about eight minutes.”<br />

He said it took a while to get<br />

the hang of weaving, but the end<br />

result was worth the wait.<br />

“First, we split the harakeke<br />

into two pieces, resulting in<br />

about <strong>18</strong> pieces, then we started<br />

weaving. About half an hour later<br />

the bell rang for lunch and after<br />

lunch, the teachers had got us all<br />

up to the same stage, finishing<br />

off,” he said.<br />

“Once we finished off our first<br />

taka we repeated the process to<br />

weave a second one, and then we<br />

were done.”<br />

SPORTS<br />

ack to inspire<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

RHYTHMIC GYMNAST<br />

Ashleigh O’Neill is back<br />

competing to try and inspire the<br />

juniors she coaches.<br />

The Olympia Gymsports competitor<br />

and coach will compete<br />

at the national championships<br />

in Tauranga from October 2 to<br />

7 after four years away from the<br />

competition floor.<br />

The 21-year-old will compete<br />

for Canterbury in the hoop, ball,<br />

ribbon and club events and hopes<br />

to medal in all three.<br />

But she said her main goal was<br />

to inspire her own athletes, all<br />

aged between six and 16.<br />

“I always enjoyed coaching<br />

because I’ve been an athlete for<br />

a long time but I wanted to show<br />

my girls that I know what they’re<br />

going through,” she said.<br />

“I’ve been coaching during my<br />

time away but being around it so<br />

much made me miss it so I find<br />

the motivation to balance both<br />

training to compete and coaching.<br />

“I train by myself in the morning<br />

then do my work and coaching<br />

in the afternoon and I try to<br />

get to the gym five days a week<br />

as well.<br />

“It all works out about 80 percent<br />

of the time,” she said.<br />

O’Neill has represented New<br />

Zealand multiple times in<br />

TALENT: Rhythmic gymnast<br />

Ashleigh O’Neill is back<br />

competing.<br />

the Pacific Rim Gymnastics<br />

Championships, was the<br />

national rope champion and was<br />

undefeated in the Australian<br />

national championships.<br />

She currently holds South<br />

Island, Otago and North Shore<br />

titles, which she won since returning<br />

to competition in July.<br />

O’Neill took up the sport when<br />

she was seven-years-old and her<br />

local swimming pool was being<br />

renovated.<br />

“We were at King’s Swim<br />

School and they had renovations<br />

being done so Mum enrolled me<br />

at Olympia and I just took to it.”<br />

O’Neill said she wanted to<br />

encourage more gymnasts to<br />

stay in the sport as coaches and<br />

she hoped to set an example that<br />

other young girls could follow<br />

into the future.<br />

Wilson eyes scholarship<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

JOSHUA WILSON has got<br />

American college scholarships in<br />

sight every time he pitches.<br />

The 17-year-old St Bede’s<br />

College student will travel to<br />

the United States next month to<br />

compete with the New Zealand<br />

under-<strong>18</strong> baseball squad at the<br />

Arizona Fall Classic Showcase.<br />

The Southern Astros and<br />

Canterbury pitcher said his<br />

selection for the team was based<br />

off his performance during the<br />

nationals held in Orewa in April.<br />

When Southern Astros coach<br />

Nathan McDonald approached<br />

him to say he had a spot on the<br />

national team, Joshua said he was<br />

“keen as.”<br />

“It’s incredible, it was a pretty<br />

big surprise to be honest,” he<br />

said. To keep his skills sharp<br />

during the off season, Joshua<br />

had been regularly training<br />

with McDonald. The first of<br />

two training camps he will be<br />

attending with the New Zealand<br />

team starts in two weeks. As the<br />

only player in the side from the<br />

South Island, Joshua will have<br />

to travel to Auckland for both<br />

camps.<br />

Canterbury Baseball president<br />

Brian Hemera said Joshua had<br />

risen rapidly in the sport after<br />

first walking out onto a diamond<br />

only two years ago.<br />

“He’s very keen on baseball<br />

and working bloody hard,” Mr<br />

Hemera said.<br />

He said the trip would be an<br />

DETERMINED: 17-year-old Joshua Wilson has his sights on a<br />

scholarship for baseball at college in the United States.<br />

opportunity for Joshua and his<br />

teammates to get noticed by<br />

college and professional scouts,<br />

who use the showcase as a<br />

chance to see new talent.<br />

“A scholarship into a university<br />

there is a very good step in the<br />

right direction. You get that and<br />

the world’s your oyster,” Mr<br />

Hemera said.<br />

“The next Steven Adams<br />

might be playing baseball, not<br />

basketball.”<br />

Joshua said the chance at a US<br />

college scholarship was the main<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

reason he wanted to go.<br />

But he said he did not have a<br />

preference for which college he<br />

could attend.<br />

“I just want to play baseball<br />

and get a good education. The<br />

Los Angeles or San Francisco<br />

ones would be good as it’s<br />

warmer there so they play for<br />

longer,” Joshua said.<br />

He said he was feeling<br />

confident about how the New<br />

Zealander team would go over<br />

their 11 games during the 14 day<br />

showcase.

Boxer seeks hat-trick<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

REDWOOD BOXER Rendz<br />

Remaneses is determined to<br />

win a hat-trick of national titles<br />

in front of a home crowd next<br />

month.<br />

Remaneses will be looking<br />

for his third consecutive New<br />

Zealand title in the elite 56kg<br />

range during the national<br />

amateur championships at the<br />

Hornby Workingman’s Club<br />

from October 3 to 6.<br />

The 25-year-old has had a<br />

tough time finding bouts this<br />

year, with just five to his name<br />

and most of them up at least two<br />

weight classes.<br />

“It’s not been the type of<br />

preparation I’d like but the guys<br />

in my weight class don’t seem to<br />

want to fight me.<br />

“Boxing in front of family and<br />

friends at the nationals this year<br />

has been a real motivator for<br />

me to keep working hard in the<br />

gym,” he said.<br />

The former Papanui High<br />

School student was introduced to<br />

the sport when he was 17-yearsold<br />

during an after school<br />

programme.<br />

“The trainer said I was really<br />

getting into it and asked if I’d<br />

like to have a fight one day and I<br />

said yeah.<br />

“Never did I think it would<br />

lead to me going for three<br />

national titles.”<br />

Remaneses has been training<br />

CHAMPION: Two-time defending national champion Rendz<br />

Remaneses believes his punching power will see him win his<br />

third elite 56kg title next month.<br />

with Redwood boxing coach<br />

Julian Scully.<br />

Scully said Remaneses had<br />

improved his in-ring skills over<br />

the years and this had helped<br />

him earn the national titles.<br />

“He’s having to take bouts<br />

against guys much bigger than<br />

him so when he comes back to<br />

PHOTO: CANTERBURY BOXING ASSOCIATION<br />

his own weight class, he notices a<br />

big difference,” Scully said.<br />

“I like to think I’m a powerful<br />

bantamweight, I’m aggressive,<br />

like to come forward and hit<br />

hard,” Remaneses said.<br />

He said the whole Canterbury<br />

team was eager to put on a show<br />

in front of a home crowd.<br />

WINNER: Burnside High School’s Jiayi Zhao won gold in the<br />

under-15 national singles.<br />

Table tennis success<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

BURNSIDE HIGH School is<br />

quickly becoming a national<br />

force in table tennis.<br />

Their boys and girls teams<br />

defended their respective New<br />

Zealand secondary schools titles<br />

in Hamilton last week.<br />

The students also won a number<br />

of age group titles in only the<br />

second year the school had sent a<br />

team to the tournament.<br />

Avon Liu won the girls<br />

under-19 title and Jiayi Zhou won<br />

the under-15 girls title.<br />

Alex Zhou finished earned<br />

a silver in the under-19 boys<br />

category, Sang-Yong Park was<br />

runner-up in the under-19<br />

boys competition while Aarya<br />

Advilkar won a bronze in the<br />

under-15 girls. Jiayi, Alex and<br />

Sang-Yong are all part of the New<br />

Zealand age-group system.<br />

Samuel Li and Zac McKellar<br />

were part of the victorious boys<br />

team. Teacher in charge of table<br />

tennis Tracy Taylor said with no<br />

competition in the girls team<br />

grade, they entered the open boys<br />

grade and finished third.<br />

“The only game our girls lost<br />

was to our own boys team,” she<br />

said. Taylor said she was thrilled<br />

the team was able to defend their<br />

titles and find a lot of individual<br />

success.<br />

“There were a lot of Auckland<br />

teams up there who had never<br />

seen us play and I think we were<br />

able to catch them by surprise.”<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

Anxiety and breathing<br />

– are they related?<br />

When good breathing goes bad<br />

Have you experienced any of these<br />

breathing difficulty symptoms?<br />

• Disturbed sleep<br />

• Erratic heartbeats*<br />

• Feeling anxious and uptight<br />

• Upset gut/nausea<br />

• Chest pains*<br />

• Shattered confidence<br />

• Tired all the time<br />

• Achy muscles and joints<br />

• Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out<br />

• Irritability or hypervigilance<br />

• Frequent yawning and sighing<br />

• Breathing discomfort*<br />

• Pins and needles<br />

• Feelings of ‘air hunger’<br />

*Check with your doctor if you experience<br />

these symptoms.<br />

These questions are asked on<br />

the website www.BradCliff.com.<br />

BradCliff was started by North Island<br />

physiotherapists Dinah Bradley and<br />

Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise in<br />

hyperventilation and anxiety treatment.<br />

Their website notes one in 10 people<br />

experience some form of breathing pattern<br />

disorder or chronic over breathing at some<br />

time in their lives, resulting in a range<br />

of disturbing or frightening symptoms<br />

puzzling to you and your doctor.<br />

You feel unwell because of overbreathing,<br />

and overbreathing makes you feel unwell.<br />

A vicious cycle is established, which is a<br />

major stress all by itself. This is experienced<br />

currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje<br />

van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio.<br />

As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast<br />

and in the upper chest when we are in danger<br />

and fight or flight is needed. We know all<br />

about that here, due to the earthquakes.<br />

Normally, once the danger is gone, our<br />

breathing should restore itself within a<br />

couple of days. We would then be using the<br />

diaphragm for our normal nonstressed<br />

breathing. We have been having a hard<br />

time restoring our breathing pattern<br />

here in Canterbury because every time<br />

our body tried to achieve that, the next<br />

aftershock came rolling in. Even though the<br />

aftershocks have significantly diminished,<br />

some people’s fight or flight mode<br />

breathing has become chronic, or habitual,<br />

Ietje says. And, as she points out, using the<br />

wrong muscles for breathing means these<br />

overworked muscles cause headaches, neck<br />

pain and jaw pain.<br />

With fast upper chest breathing, sighing<br />

and yawning, the resulting disturbance<br />

of our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels<br />

can give us the feeling we are not able to<br />

control our own body. One moment you<br />

are feeling fine, next moment your chest<br />

feels tight, you feel out of breath, your<br />

heart beats erratically and you may even<br />

experience dizziness and/or tingling.<br />

Very scary if you do not understand what<br />

is happening. No wonder this causes<br />

anxiety. Not being the boss over our own<br />

body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the<br />

faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on.<br />

The BradCliff physiotherapists have<br />

established a national network of<br />

practitioners that regularly train together<br />

and can help you overcome this problem.<br />

Physical Sense is part of that network.<br />

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample<br />

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />

The tree of LIFE<br />

New research on Gingko<br />

Biloba excites researchers!<br />

For decades scientists believed brain<br />

damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />

was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />

not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />

new research has shown that neurons<br />

can grow back with the right conditions<br />

and that a special extract of Gingko<br />

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />

been clinically found to assist in this.<br />

The implications for stroke recovery are<br />

obvious, but researchers also know many<br />

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />

that over a period of time slowly<br />

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />

is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />

supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />

cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />

mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />

alertness, motor function and to help<br />

with many conditions including tinnitus<br />

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />

micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />

flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />

the red blood cells more pliable and<br />

capillary walls more flexible.<br />

TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />

studied and researched herbal products in<br />

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />

extract manufactured via a patented<br />

multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />

tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />

clinical dose without having to take a large<br />

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />

products on the market, and tested by a<br />

major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />

passed all five of the test requirements.<br />

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />

and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />

to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />

considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />

of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />

consumed each day.<br />
