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 />

. . . he wanted to take some of<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 />
next door have got a<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 />

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 />

Burnside’s two choirs, Bel<br />
Canto and Senior Chorale were<br />
awarded gold medals in the finale<br />
held on <strong>September</strong> 3.<br />
Bel Canto also won the Tour<br />
Time Trophy, for best classical<br />
performance, from medieval to<br />

Meanwhile, Villa Maria’s<br />
Con Brio choir was awarded<br />
a silver medal in the finale.<br />
Choir director Naomi Hnat said<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 />
TEBONIN and further information<br />
