“I originally thought I would

I’d stay there a year and I haven’t

In that time, the programme

arts block with 16 teachers and
more than 200 pupils.
“It’s a surprise, but over the

The project is co-ordinated
by the Greater Christchurch

Mr Kai Fong said that
internet and devices are a

“This creates a huge disadvantage

THAT’S A well deserved accolade for
music teacher Judith Bell on the front page

The Chisnallwood Intermediate teacher
is a finalist in the inaugural Music Teacher
of the Year category at the Vodafone New

And as she tells reporter Julia Evans, it’s her passion for music
which has got her there.
She has led the music programme for 20 years. That’s a great
stint.
As Judith says: “I originally thought I would be a composer

Playground closure gets backing
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
Paul Lonsdale
BUSINESSES HAVE supported
a decision to close the New
Brighton Beachside Playground
over the first week of the school
holidays.
Development Christchurch
Ltd has decided to close the
playground over part of the
school holidays to allow for
upgrades to get under way.
Work began last week and it
will remain closed until October
5 while upgrades are undertaken.
DCL said
doing the work
now would
have less
impact than if
it was carried
out over summer
when the
park would be
busier.
“We do appreciate that the
work runs over the start of the
school holidays and we apologise
for any inconvenience this
may cause,” a spokesman said.
While some concerns have
been raised over the timing of
the closure, businesses have
been supportive of the decision.
New Brighton Business and
Landowners Association manager
Paul Lonsdale agreed.
“While it is a little bit inconvenient
for part of the school
holidays, it is best to get it out of
the way,” he said.
Bin Inn New Brighton owner
Nikki Griffin said while the
school holidays are not ideal, the
work is never going to be convenient
over the warmer months.
“It would be a positive if they
kept to the schedule and got
it open in the second week, it
would be even nicer if they got it
open earlier,” she said.
Paper Plus New Brighton
owner Blair Hughes said it is
“the best of the worse case.”
“My only concern is I think
sometimes they rush things.
Last year they opened it, I think
they should have waited and
done it completely and utterly
right the first time,” he said.
The $100,000 revamp includes
the installation of two new

SURGICAL CRISIS IN TWO
WEE PUPPIES
Meet “Alice Victoria”, a 6 month old black and white Cocker Spaniel
and “Poppy” a 6 month old Pomeranian who recently had very long,
detailed and difficult surgeries basically to save their wee lives.
Let’s start with
the adorable, lets
run at a hundred
miles an hour,
Alice Victoria -
obviously named
after royalty (her
mum is British!).
Whilst out
coffeeing and
chatting with her
mum, Jean
pointed out a
very small 2mm
x 2mm small
white spot
inside her left
nostril. It wasn’t
bothering her
and didn’t seem
painful to poke.
She’s a very
adventurous
little girl so initially I thought trauma from
diving in and out of bushes. A short course
of antibiotics was prescribed in case of
localised infection.
Two months later it was still present, so I
decided to biopsy the spot. It hadn’t grown
and wasn’t painful or infected but her
mum wanted a diagnosis. I was shocked
and surprised to get a diagnosis back of
MCT (Mast Cell Tumor) which is a malignant
tumour commonly seen in dogs and cats –
although a MCT inside a nostril I hadn’t seen
before and in a puppy so young!
We urgently sought the advice of Oncology
specialists in Australia to work out what our
next move should be. They recommended
radiotherapy (very expensive and difficult to
do in pets with nasty side effects) or surgical
removal (also difficult to ensure complete
excision due to the location of the mass).
Chemotherapy was the 3rd option. Alice
had extensive blood testing, radiographs of
her lungs and a thorough Ultrasound of her
abdomen. No abnormalities or secondary
tumors were observed.
So Dr Steve Heap was nominated to perform
the delicate corrective surgery. It was an
exhaustive, delicate 2 hour procedure to
remove the mass and surrounding nasal
tissue and her subsequent draining lymph
node. Her wee nose looks slightly wonky
now but is functional and comfortable and
she’s alive!!! We are awaiting histology and
grading results from America to see whether
Chemotherapy will be needed as well.
We also performed a CT on Alice’s brain at St
Georges to make sure no tumour metastases
were detected as Alice started acting quite
bizarrely suddenly. Thankfully all was clear.
Tiny 2.5kg “Poppy” was referred to Catherine
Morganti one Friday for an endoscopic
examination as something was stuck in her
oesophagus and she couldn’t eat and was
trying to be sick. Usually these exams are
fairly quick and successful in retrieving the
culprit but not so in Poppy’s case.
Unfortunately after over 2 hours of
Catherine and Kirsty working the endoscope
down Poppy’s throat (with Poppy under
anaesthetic) and trying hard to dislodge
the stuck object, it was decided to perform
exploratory surgery, opening up her
stomach, trying to reach the object from
the inside. Steve scrubbed in as well and
eventually with a
team of 3 vets and
2 nurses on the
job, the object was
finally removed
(which was the
rubber off a
pencil and a large
doggie treat) – a 4
hour anaesthetic
in total on a
Friday night
(Lucky we
love surgery
and helping
pets as we
get many
Friday night
emergency
operations to
perform).
Poppy needed to spend a few nights at the
After Hours Clinic in critical care and a few
days with us on intravenous fluids to get her
stable, eating again and back to her cheeky,
gorgeous little self.
A successful great outcome for both Alice
Victoria and Poppy. Let’s hope the rest of
their lives going forward are not as dramatic
as the first 6 months have been!
Steve and I can’t thank our fabulous,
dedicated and expert team of Vets and
Nurses enough, who willingly stay behind
late to perform in many cases miracle
surgeries. We are so PROUD of our people
and the work they do on our patients.

Support for fireworks change
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
COMMUNITY groups
and businesses have
supported a change of date
to New Brighton’s iconic
fireworks event.
The display will
be held on Friday,
November 2, at New
Brighton Pier rather
than the traditional
Guy Fawkes night
on November 5.
City councillor
David East said it
is a good idea and
ultimately the event
needs to move away
from Guy Fawkes
as it has little
significance to the
country.
“Guy Fawkes,
it is not exactly
something particularly
relevant in New Zealand,”
he said.

Nikki Griffin
Cr East said it would
be ideal for shops to
stop selling fireworks in
celebration of Guy Fawkes
and just to have the annual
fireworks display in New
Brighton.
Bin Inn New
Brighton owner
Nikki Griffin
said it is good the
fireworks will be
shifted to Friday
night.
She said it will
give families more
time to enjoy the
evening and put less
pressure for people
who have work or
school the next day.
“If it keeps an
event in Brighton it
is all positive,” Mrs
Griffin said.

Several roads will be
closed from 6pm to allow
people to watch the display.
Parking restrictions
will also be in force, with
signage installed the day
before the event. New

from 7am on Friday until
2am on Saturday.

‘Dangerous’ crossing concerns
• By Ashleigh Monk
MAIREHAU RESIDENTS have
voiced their concerns over a
“dangerous” pedestrian crossing
which is used daily by Mairehau
Primary School children.
The crossing on Innes Rd
was brought up at a recent
Papanui-Innes Community
Board meeting after resident
Fiona Norton raised the issue in
a letter.
The New Zealand Transport
Authority recorded five crashes
at the crossing dating back to
2002 – one fatal, one serious, one
minor and two non-injury.
Community board member
Pauline Cotter said the crossing
would be investigated by staff.
“Sometimes these things aren’t
as dangerous as people think
they are. So we look to see if
there have been injuries, and if
there haven’t been many, then
it doesn’t rate very highly as a
priority.”
She said residents wanted
traffic lights installed near the
crossing to slow motorists down,
but a viable solution could not
be decided until the staff report
came back.
Fiona Norton lived just along
the road from Mairehau Primary
School, but she refused to
let her children walk to school by
themselves, in spite of being
able to see the crossing from her
gate.
“Young children and elderly
people use this crossing constantly,”
she said.
“It seems to be one or two cars
go through without stopping,
and if they do stop, the scary
thing is they’ll wait until you
get halfway and they’ll roar off
behind you.”
Mairehau Primary School
principal John Bangma said the
crossing had been an issue for
“many years,” and he had been
on the city council’s case to find
a solution.
“When I first started at
Mairehau we unfortunately had
an incident where an elderly lady
crossing the road was killed,” he
said.
“While people legally have to
stop when we have one side [of
the lollipops] out, most people
ignore it.”
He said the best solution
would be to install a set of traffic
lights at the corner of Innes Rd,
Philpotts Rd and Kensington
Ave to slow motorists.
“St Francis School has the

same issue with its crossing. If
we had those traffic lights, both
schools could cross safely,” he
said.
“I have just question, how bad
does it have to get before they
realise it’s a problem?”
St Francis School principal
Jo Earl said the main issue was
with motorists not respecting
the road rules.
“There have been minor
accidents, bumper to bumper,
out there – people get frustrated
because of the back-up of traffic
when both road patrols are
operating.”

“We are incredibly grateful to

and N4L for setting up

same safe digital learning experience

He said the project is specifically

meant to provide free internet to
the families.
“The students will have the same

The Greater Christchurch

with the community to promote the

Fire rages, homes at risk
NEW BRIGHTON’S favourite
rugby son, Ryan Crotty, had
time for his travelling fans
after the All Blacks loss to the
Springboks last Saturday.
The All Blacks midfielder, who
has played for New Brighton
since he was an under-five
junior, took selfies and signed
autographs with a large group
of fans dressed in New Brighton
colours at Wellington’s Westpac
Stadium.
The 29-year-old, who has
played 39 tests, got through a
full game of rugby after returning
from a head knock which
saw him leave the test in Sydney
against the Wallabies three
weeks ago.
The All Blacks play Argentina
on Sunday morning (NZ time).
There’s never been a more appropriate
time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle.
Fuel costs are soaring, and global warming,
much of it attributed to fossil fuel emissions, is a
definite reality.
So if you want to do something for
the environment and save yourself some
cash at the weekly fill-up, then visit Trevor
Crowe, at CroweSport, 518 Moorhouse
Ave, for a lifestyle change.
The man who runs the business owns
the business, and Trevor, or any of the
friendly sales staff, can get you into an
electric vehicle or hybrid of your choice.
There are no fewer than 15 vehicles to
choose from, a mixture of fully-electric
plug-in Nissan Leafs to the hybrid petrol/
electric Prius.
Trevor says his stock consists of topgrade
models sourced from auction in
Japan. He chooses only the cars with
good battery life, and the cars on the yard
are displayed with the battery condition
visible. As with all cars on the yard at
CroweSport, the electric vehicles can be
serviced on-site by trained technicians.
Cars on-site vary in age from 2011 to
2017, and those with the latest generation
30kWh batteries can be expected to
provide a range of up to 190km. However,
petrol/electric Prius models are there for
those who experience range anxiety.
Prices for the Leafs start around $13,000
and end at around $30,000.
“The Leaf is the perfect urban commuter
– buyers who work in the city can travel to
work, swing by the supermarket on the
way home, and charge up from the home
supply overnight,’’ Trevor says.
“Charging costs can be measured
in cents, trickle charging overnight is
the kindest on the batteries although
fast charging on a journey won’t do the
batteries any harm.’’
Trevor is fully committed to the electric
revolution, and says there is a point of
difference in the models he chooses,
they are hand-picked and have workshop
backing. The first service is without cost,
as well as the first warrant of fitness.
While there is a heavy emphasis on
electric vehicles, the name CroweSport
is also synonymous with the sales of
Subaru vehicles. There are a wide range of
Subarus on-site, mostly pre-owned from
Japan.
Part of CroweSport’s success as a
business is down to Trevor’s proud
motorsport heritage. Major successes
include several New Zealand saloon
car championships, and the Asia Pacific
touring car championship, with a fourth
at Bathurst and third at the Wellington
Street Race in 1988. On shingle, Trevor
has won more than a dozen rallies, the
Ashley Forest rally sprint, and he is the
current Race to the Sky two-wheel-drive
champion. Trevor still competes, and
his race or rally cars are prepared in the
CroweSport workshop.
“Motorsport is at the cutting edge
of technology. Understanding the
complexity of tuning and setting up a
car for racing or rallying filters down to
day-to-day mechanics at workshop level,’’
Trevor says.
Trevor is an engineer and is still hand’son
in that side of the business. Engine
reconditioning is his speciality, although
he says they will take on anything from
a lube or tune-up right through to full
engine and gearbox overhauls. Nine
technicians are on site, and annually the
company takes on an apprentice, skills
developed through old-school training.
The CroweSport workshop team is highly
skilled and they will service any make or
model.
Trevor says many of his customers are
sport and recreational enthusiasts along
with those who are lifestyle and familyorientated.
And, of course, if you want a
performance enhancement, CroweSport
Subaru Specialists
has built up an enviable reputation in that
field.
Trevor’s philosophy is to get it right first
time, the company has high standards
and that reflects on the quality of the jobs
that go out the door. Although Trevor
leads from the front, he says the company
is like a family. Staff have input in the way
the company runs and operates.
“I want the customer to leave without
being presented with any surprises. We

WITH MARY IN FAITH

MESSAGE FROM
THE PRINCIPAL
The Marian College Future Focus
team, which includes Board and staff
members, is beginning to plan for
the new school. We are taking the
opportunity to visit other schools, and
in particular, to learn from the many
other rebuilds in Canterbury.
Our aim is to create a school, which is
designed to match our quality teaching
practice. Marian College’s special
Catholic character, school spirit and
traditions, such as Feast Day (pictured)
will also be reflected in our new school.
A key part of the planning will be
engaging with our whole community
for input into the new Marian College.
Marian College thanks the Catholic
Diocese of Christchurch and Bishop
Paul Martin for their ongoing support
and guidance. We are confident the best
decision possible will be made for our
school.
In the meantime, Marian is continuing
to flourish. I hope you enjoy reading
about our latest happenings.
With blessings
Mary-Lou Davidson
Marian College Principal
HOUSE PANELS BLESSED
FEAST DAY
FESTIVITIES
Feast Day – celebrating the
Assumption of Mary – is the most
anticipated religious event on the
Marian College calendar. Feast
Day includes Mass, which this year
was celebrated by Bishop Paul
Martin SM, a house group singing
competition, talent quest and
chanting competition.
Congratulations to Seymour House for
top points on Feast Day 2018.
Marian College parents Luke Carey and
Janine Altenburg-Carey have created
four woven house panels, made from the
majestic pin oak which once stood on the
former Marian College site.
The panels represent the four Marian
College houses – Takahe, Deans, Seymour
and Brodie – and were blessed by Bishop
Paul Martin SM at Mass on Marian’s
celebration of Feast Day this term. To
discover the story and meaning behind the
panels, visit the news section on the Marian
College website.

Martin SM.
REMARKABLE RESULTS
The Marian College literacy programme
– known as The Writing Group – is
producing remarkable results and helping
to bridge the gaps for some junior students.
“I think a lot of the students are finding the
one-on-one time really beneficial and we
are seeing the results. As well as measuring
progress, for us it’s been about bridging the
gap for these students, so they are better
placed to catch up and be closer to the level
they should be at,” explains teacher Ellie
Caradus who heads The Writing Group.
Marian College Principal Mary-Lou
Davidson is impressed with the writing
group’s progress.
BIG SMILES NO MATTER THE CONDITIONS!
Our sports teams are living examples
of our school values of courage,
perseverance and commitment. Well
done to all our teams, coaches and parent
supporters who travelled to compete in the
Secondary Schools Winter Tournament this
month. Go Marian!
There really is no
substitute for dedicated teachers
working closely with students.
The progress we are seeing is a
result of positive relationships
between skilled Marian staff,
and students who feel supported.

Marian College teacher Ellie
Caradus heads The Writing Group.
Marian College is part of the Catholic
Community of Learning Kāhui Ako, where
schools support each other to lift student
achievement. The schools target agreed
focus areas, such as literacy, which are
funded and supported by the Kāhui Ako.

Leni raises $2k in memory of dad
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THREE YEARS ago Leni
Smith decided she needed to do
something to help fight cancer
in honour of her late father.
Now 13-year-old
Chisnallwood Intermediate
head girl has raised nearly
$2000 on her own by selling
raffle tickets for two prize
baskets to support the Cancer
Society of New Zealand.
It is the third year she has
raised money for the society .
Last year she raised more than
$1500.
Her fundraising is a tribute
to her late father, Pete Smith,
who died eight years ago from
mesothelioma, a cancer caused
by exposure to asbestos.
“My dad died of cancer when
I was five and I want to help
change that. I don’t want that to
have to happen to anyone else.
I think it is really important
to me to help how I can,” Leni
said.
Her mother Emma Smith
said Leni started fundraising
in June and, over the past three
weeks, had done some “serious
door- knocking” in areas like
Prestons, Tumara Park and New
Brighton.
Leni is about $30 off reaching
her target of $2000.

want to raise as much as I can,”

“Being physically active is so
good for our physical well-being.
I’d love to support anyone getting
active if I can,” Ms Williams
said.
Phillip Goundar said the
opportunity to compete in the
Coast to Coast would create
memories forever.
“I didn’t have a racing bike
capable of doing the Coast to
Coast, or any of the camping
gear you need to make it
through, so competing wasn’t
an option for me. Once I heard
about this opportunity, I knew I
had to take it,” he said.

Mrs Bell, along with the
orchestra and choir, put on a
performance for Ms Parata to
highlight why the school should
not be closed.
“We had a surprise performance
set up in the foyer. We played the
Crusaders theme because that
really represents Canterbury. It
was a powerful moment,” she
said. It was a memorable moment
of her teaching career. But it is the
day-to-day highlights that are her
biggest motivation.
She said she didn’t think
intermediate was the age she’d be
teaching when she first started.
“It’s good to discover music in
the intermediate years. It’s when
I first really started playing. They
can be quite hard, but can be the
best years,” she said.
Mrs Bell said she has loved
music her whole life. She first
started playing piano and guitar
in primary school, but really
found her passion when she learnt
clarinet in intermediate.
“Then I learnt brass just so
I could be in the brass band
at high school. I wrote for the
orchestra and went to Canterbury
University to study music. I didn’t
even think about my career, I just
knew I wanted to learn music.”
As well as leading
Chisnallwood’s music
department, Mrs Bell is the
president of Music Education
Canterbury, where she coordinates
music at organisations
such as Canterbury University,
Ara Music Arts and the
Christchurch School of Music.
She is also on the board of
Music Education New Zealand
Aotearoa.
Whoever nominated her
remains a mystery. “I don’t know
who nominated me, but I am
really, really thrilled. I respect
everyone who does my job so it’s
really humbling,” Mrs Bell said.

Culinary Champions
Congratulations to Maggie Carroll and Liza Khorozova who
are now National Culinary Champions having won the National
Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge 2018, held recently at
the Manukau Institute of Technology.
Our team competed against seven regional winning teams,
coming away with gold medals. They had to prepare, cook and
present, four individually plated portions of an entrée and four
portions of the main course within 90 minutes.
The entrée had to contain fresh New Zealand grown tomato as
the principal component of the dish. The main course portions
had to include at least three fresh New Zealand grown
vegetables, one of which had to be a potato. The protein
component was produced from a Waitoa chicken breast.
Tomato Entree
Tomato tart with fresh tomato and basil salad, manuka smoked
tomato foam with goats cheese accompanied by a rich tomato
sauce.
Chicken Main
Chicken breast filled with broad bean farce on truffle potato
puree with petite crumbed sausage, seasonal vegetables
served with jus and tarragon cream sauce.

Governor General
visits the school
This term, Burnside High School was lucky enough to have Her
Excellency the Rt Hon. Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor General
of New Zealand visit our school. This began with a welcome
from our Kapa Haka group, Head Students and Senior
Leadership.
She visited a selection of classes in our very successful Visual
Arts department followed by a senior Hospitality classroom.
An interactive discussion took place on the ‘Into Motion’ hui
(@intomotionnz) which was a conference based around
gender equality held at Burnside High School last term.
Altogether, the visit was a success and we hope it gave
Her Excellency an interesting look into Burnside High School
culture.
Music Success
Term 3 has seen an incredible series of musical
achievements on the local and national stage. At the ARA
JazzQuest competition Burnside High School Big Band
won a Gold Award and the “Best Big Band” title for a fifth
consecutive year. Our Junior Jazz Ensemble and Funk
Band also won Gold Awards.
RAQS (Hijiri Yamamoto, Claudia Crosland and Lixin
Zhang) reached the National Final of the NZCT Chamber
Music Contest and won the KBB Award, a huge
achievement in this highly competitive field.
Our senior choirs took part in a day of workshops and a
concert under the guidance of renowned American Choral
Director Jo-Michael Scheibe. Later, they competed at
The Big Sing National Finale where both Bel Canto and
Senior Chorale won Gold Awards with Bel Canto also
picking up the Tour Time trophy for “Best Performance of
a Classical Work”. Malestrom once again won the regional
Barbershop Chorus contest and go on to compete at the
National Finals in Tauranga.
Our Concert Band and Orchestra are now National
Champions, both ensembles having won their class at the
Wellington Band and Orchestral Festival. The Concert

Mathematics success
for Burnside High
In May this year 1100 top Year 12 and 13 Maths students from
throughout the country sat the preliminary paper for the
New Zealand Senior Mathematics Competition. From this
large group the top 15 students in the country were selected
to take part in the final at Victoria University in Wellington
on August 17th. Two of the top 15 were from Burnside High
School: Robin Wan, Year 13, and Ethan Ng, Year 12.
The final consisted of a 4 hour paper of very challenging
mathematical questions. After the papers had been marked
the top 3 place getters were announced. Ethan Ng was
placed second in this very prestigious competition. This is
an outstanding effort, especially considering that Ethan,
at age 13, was four or five years younger than the other
finalists. Congratulations to both Robin and Ethan.

Shirley trust makes most of new space
Fire rages, homes at risk
The Shirley Community
Trust has been operating
for almost 20 years and
has recently welcomed
a new building at the
MacFarlane Park Centre.
Ashleigh Monk visited
the centre to see what
the trust was all about
EVERY DAY Ian Dunbar sits at
the entrance of the MacFarlane
Park Centre and greets people as
they walk through the door.
Everyone is welcome here at
the Shirley Community Trust,
the community worker says.
They can take part in the centre’s
many activities or have a chat
and a cup of tea.
“People put Shirley down at
times, but there’s some really
good people in Shirley. People
with good hearts. It’s like any
other suburb, there’s good parts
and not so good parts,” says Mr
Dunbar, who works part-time at
the centre.
The centre’s a bit cramped in
the main building; one round
table is crammed into the end of
the room, surrounded by chairs.
But at the end of August,
volunteers and staff at the centre
welcomed a new building, which
provides space for more people to
gather.
“We couldn’t do a lot of things
because we didn’t have the
space before, but now with two
buildings, it’s better because we
have the room for more groups,”
Mr Dunbar said.
And the space was definitely
needed – hundreds of people
regularly use the facility, and
over the course of the year, about
15,000 volunteers come and go,
keeping the place running.
“It takes a lot of work to keep
this place going. Even one day a
week, it takes about 60 volunteers
to do that. You have people
cooking or doing baking, and
people just being here to support
others.”
Mr Dunbar has been working
at the centre for about nine
years – but it was established

long before that. The centre was
brought to life in 1999 by a group
from Shirley.
The first centre was in St
Stephens Church, but as the need
for space grew, it moved in 2002
to the former Plunket rooms on
Acheson Ave.
“It was seen as a bit of a dodgy
area, so Plunket went elsewhere
and the Shirley Community
Trust set up here,” he said.
The centre plays host to about
25 different events and activities,
including a fruit and vege co-op,
a foot care clinic, barista training
and a monthly community lunch.

“We’ve sent 1000 garments out
this year,” she said.
“When the earthquakes
happened, we decided we’d do

Another of the centre’s
community worker’s Sharyn
Burnett has been with the Shirley
Community Trust since it
started.
“It’s just finding people in the
community who have skills and
talents and utilising them. That’s
really everything this place is
about, making people realise
they’ve got skills and giving
them the confidence to put them
into use.” She said the most
cost to relocate the building
would be $100,000 but more
detailed planning revealed it
would cost $225,000.

rewarding part of her job was
hearing the “glowing reviews”
from those who visited the centre
- particularly elderly people who
attended the foot care clinic to
have their nails trimmed and feet
massaged.
“Other than being good for
the health of their feet, for a lot
of elderly people that are coming
in that’s a big outing for them. It
becomes a real social thing,” she
said.
“And let’s be honest, some of
us can’t reach our toes anymore,”
Mrs Duff said.
“The one that really touched
me was this man who lost his
wife about 10 months ago,” Ms
Burnett said.
“He’s a gentleman at the best of
times, he’s just who you’d wish
to have as your dad or granddad.
He hadn’t been back here in quite
a while but I got this message
from his daughter and she said
‘he’s been raving about you guys,
but it’s been a struggle to get him
here because he thinks he’s been
away too long and you wouldn’t
want him back’.”
“As soon as he came in, I just
got up and gave him a hug. He
said ‘did you miss me?’ and I
said ‘did we what! Of course we
missed you’. His daughter said
he needed something like this to
brighten his day, because all he
does is sit with his photo albums,
looking through them. They were
married 64 years, and wherever
there is space for a photo of
her around his house, there’s a
photo.”
And it wasn’t just elderly people
who visited the centre.
“We had a wee boy come to
the coffee mornings and the first
time he came, he was dressed in
a suit. It was like he was coming
for a job interview, I said he was
the best-dressed man we’d ever
seen here. He wants to be a chef,
and I tell you what, he had some
amazing knowledge of food.”
Ms Burnett said people who
ran and visited the centre had all
become “a great big family”.
“We wouldn’t have it any other
way.”

Questions raised on the
frequency of pier cleaning
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MESS ON the New Brighton
Pier has prompted questions into
how often it is cleaned.
The Coastal -Burwood Community

pier’s cleaning regime from city

visitors would view the pier.

Golf club gears up for centenary
Avondale Golf Club

value” by investing and improving
a member’s experience, not
to reduce price.
PROUD: Richard Sinclair in front of the new Avondale Golf Club building.
Central to increasing value
are two “virtual golf” simulators
within the lounge of the new
clubhouse.
The functionality and flexibility
of the new clubhouse
alongside continual course improvement
post-earthquakes has
helped to increase membership
by more than 25 per cent in the
past 10 months and it continues
to grow.
Junior golf numbers have also
grown rapidly with Andy Sams
coming on board as golf professional.
Andy’s passion for golf shows
as his junior clinics regularly see
20-30 juniors and their parents
on course and enjoying the benefits
of the simulators.
Socially and ethically rewarding
has been the use of the clubhouse
by residents for functions
and specifically hosting charitable
quiz nights supporting local
causes and residents.
The Avondale Golf Club is now
in its 99 th -year and is proud to
be a part of the re-building and
re-shaping of our community as
we approach our centenary.
Within our centenary calendar
for 2019 is a charitable tournament
to benefit our local community
amongst a host of other
events.
We believe growing our game
at Avondale is growing our
community and we’d love to see
you soon.
Readers respond to city
councillor David East’s bid
for an independent inquiry
into why a clause was left
out of the District Plan that
made it difficult for people
in the High Flood Hazard
Management Area to build
on their properties
Aileen Trist – We are so
lucky to have our representative
city councillor David East
watching our backs and going
out to fight for the community
on the east. This whole process
he is going through at the
moment to help the people
fight a prejudice city council
has shown how the other
councillors are afraid to be up
front and honest regarding their
thoughts on the matter in case
they are not kept in favour other
members of the city council—
very disappointing.

Bruce Perkins – Yes, I agree
that city councillors should be
able to criticise the council if it
is in the interest of the public.
There is too much hidden when
they supposed to be running
the city with ratepayers’ money.
Readers respond to
the Pegasus Post article
on the Coastal-Burwood

plans to have the fronds

Bridge
Aileen Trist – I have been
working with city councillor
David East regarding the fronds
since they were taken down in
2010. They suffered no damage
then but the New Zealand
Transport Agency were worried
they could be a danger to cars
crossing the bridge. Cr East has

behalf to come up with a plan to
make them a stand-alone display
by the bridge until they can be
put back up in their rightful
place. There is no reason this
should not go ahead sooner
rather than later. I fought hard
with Cr East to have them put
back after they were taken down
in 2008 and I would like to see
them put back now not 10 to 20
years later.
Michele and Carl Craw –
Yes, we would like to see
these works of art re installed.
There seems to be money for
other projects but once more
the eastern suburbs don’t have
too many councillors speaking
on their behalf. The district
council is showing a definite
lack of goodwill when it comes
to improving the environment
in our areas. Now the excuse is
the planned replacement of the
bridge. Another excuse that lacks
credibility.
Helena Beran – No I don’t
think they should be re installed.
When they were up they used
to freak me out every time I was
driving past them. On a windy
day you see them moving. To me
they were an accident waiting to
happen. Had a real fear off them
flying off. I’m sure other people
would have felt the same. I was

so glad when they were taken

A reader responds
to the Pegasus Post
article on the Coastal-
Burwood Community
Board approving 35 trees
to be planted at Rawhiti
Domain
Carl and Michele Craw –
If we have at times criticised
the city council for being
reluctant to spend money on the
eastern suburbs, credit should be
given where it is due. In this case
its agreement to plant 35 trees
at the Keyes Rd entrance to the
domain will, we are sure, make
a difference. This will beautify
the area, enhance a healthy
environment and perhaps best
of all, will show residents that
their needs and wishes are not
systematically overlooked.

ADVERTORIAL
Christchurch School of Music in the community
Christchurch School of Music on a
Saturday morning is a really exciting
place to be! Everywhere you go there
will be music wafting through the doors
and windows and lots of excited children
and happy adults heading towards their
classroom. If you come on down to our
Open Day at 62 Ferry Rd (Catholic
Cathedral College) on Saturday 29
September between 9am and 1.30pm
you can see (and hear) for yourself!
You will even get the chance to try out
an instrument for yourself in the ‘Try an
Instrument” room.
This Open Day is part of a week of
CSM ensembles playing across the city
as part of our “CSM in the Community”
event. We will be in markets, malls,
hospitals and churches at various times
across the week. Check out our Events
Guide for days and times.
The CSM is a family-oriented
community aimed at providing
quality music education in and around
Christchurch. The school has been an
important part of the Christchurch
music education scene for 63 years so
why not come along and join us?
From ages 2 to 92 we have something
for everyone. On a Saturday morning the
whole family can find something to suit.
Preschool and junior school children can
start their musical journey by joining in
our experiential “Take Off with Music.”
The classes are carefully planned to
ensure maximum fun, engagement and
music learning.
At 4½ years children are also able to
begin learning Suzuki violin or cello
with our very experienced Suzuki
teachers and at 5 years old the recorder
is a great way to start children learning
an instrument that will set them up with
music reading and musicianship skills
that will last a lifetime.
Older children and adults may opt for
group or individual lessons on a specific
instrument (including voice). Those
who already play are welcome to join
in one of the great ensembles which all
take part in regular concerts including
Saturday soirees and a wide range of
community events. Recitals where
individuals can perform are also held
regularly.
The UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra,
CSM’s top orchestra, generously
sponsored by the University of
Canterbury Foundation, has an exciting
concert series throughout the year. Their
upcoming concert, “Halloween” being
held in the Christchurch Girls’ High
Auditorium on 27 October is an excellent
opportunity to hear Christchurch’s top
youth musicians in concert. (Tickets
available through Eventfinda)
With six orchestras, two concert
bands, a Big Band, a jazz combo, six
wind ensembles, rock bands, two choirs,
chamber groups, a samba band and a
guitar ensemble there is an ensemble to
suit all levels and all ages.
CSM also provides a comprehensive
music education to participating primary
schools via its Outreach programmes.
Programmes are offered in band, strings,
recorder and ukulele in a wide range of
Christchurch schools.
Another popular area of the School
is the Late Starters programme where
adults approaching retirement with
more time on their hands have really
enjoyed learning an instrument they
never had the chance to play in their
early years and join an ensemble with
other like-minded adults.
If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also
offers a range of weekday opportunities
for learning and playing music.
If affordability is an issue, CSM may be
able to offer a discount through funding
provided by the Rata Foundation.
Enrolments are open for 2019 so come
on down and have a look around or
check out our website www.csm.org.nz
and let us start you on a musical journey
that will bring pleasure for a lifetime.

The gospel
music of
Elvis Presley
"It's a great honour to fulfil one of Elvis'
dreams and put together a gospel show of
his favourite songs” - Andy Stankovich
ANDY Stankovich performs the Grammy
Award-winning Gospel Music of Elvis
Presley at the Isaac Theatre Royal in
November.
Marking the 41st Anniversary of Elvis'
passing, the incomparable Andy
Stankovich (whose uncanny voice has
stunned even Presley's own gospel backing
group, The Jordanaires) steps into Elvis'
shoes and recreates the unforgettable
sound of an icon with Elvis: The Gospel
Music.
Elvis has always been a big part of
Andy’s life. From as early as the age of
seven he clearly remembers singing Elvis
classics at family gatherings. Having
performed throughout Australia, New
Zealand, America and the Pacific, Andy's
ambition has always been to keep the
music of Elvis alive and this is evident in
the sincere performances he gives.
Musical Director, Mark Dennison, will
bring together an all star cast, including the
Memphis Show Band, a handpicked
selection of some of the country's finest

For one night only, the music
that defined and shaped an icon,
will take centre stage. Timeless
classics from ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘In
the Ghetto’ to ‘Where Could I Go
But To The Lord’ will fill
Christchurch's Isaac Theatre
Royal.
Come and witness the
magnificence that is the Gospel
Music of Elvis Presley.

range of hair and beauty products including
discounted GHDs you could walk away with
a few bargains as well. Sit down and have
your hair curled by the Vivo team for free and make sure you have your photo
taken in front of the Vivo photo wall so you can enter to win a fabulous makeover
package.
Mama Lash will be at the Expo for the first time. Stop by their large Pamper
Lounge where the team will be offering Expo visitors lash extensions and brow
treatments onsite. If you have always wanted long, thick and full eyelashes then
chat to the team onsite and discover the easy way to achieve fabulous looking
eyes that will make you stand out in a crowd. You can either have your eyebrow
extensions done at the show or simply watch a demonstration to see how this
stunning look is achieved.
After a successful show last year, Sparklewhite Teeth will once more be offering
teeth whitening treatments at the show. This area was buzzing last year with
visitors lining up to take advantage of the amazing expo only prices. Sparklewhite
Teeth have developed a new technology for teeth whitening that works so
effectively you can lighten your teeth by 2-10 shades in just one 60 minute
session. Create a positive attitude for yourself and improve your appearance while
achieving a more youthful look with your new radiant smile.
Sparklewhite will also have the fascinating Aduro’s LED mask onsite for visitors
to try out at the show. A re-invention of the traditional facial mask brought up-todate
through the use of LED light technology Aduro’s patented design follows the
contours of the face and covers the entire facial area in therapeutic light – offering
a full facial rejuvenating experience, for range of skin imperfections including acne
and signs of aging.
Before you leave the Expo take your tired feet over to the Southern Reflexology
Group Lounge and treat yourself to a relaxing reflexology treatment.
The ancient Chinese practice of reflexology, a manual therapy focusing on the
feet, has recently enjoyed a surge in popularity as a modern holistic therapy to
relieve pain and stress. Reflexologists believe that different areas on your feet and
hands correspond to other parts of your body, and massaging them stimulates
your parasympathetic nervous system to heal itself. Reflexology can help to create
a healthy harmonious state within the body and triggers the body’s natural powers
of self-healing.
Find out more from the Southern Reflexology Group onsite at the Women’s
Lifestyle Expo.

THE ULTIMATE
WEEKEND FOR
WOMEN IS
BACK!
The Expo is a perfect place to meet for a girl’s day out but it’s also a great
place to escape and have some well-deserved “me time” if you would
rather browse the sites by yourself at your own pace. With so much going
on and with Door sales only $10 there is every reason to visit and none to
stay at home!
Renee Murray from NZME Events says “Our aim is to have as wide of a
range of companies involved with the Expo as possible. Women are all
different and their individual interests are so diverse. One woman may
be interested in gourmet food but the woman beside her may be more
interested in organic skincare or booking a V8 Supercar drive. We have
artisan crafters like jeweller Debra Fallowfield exhibiting alongside national
brands like Vivo Hair and Suzuki. It’s great on the weekend to see all the
various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers
to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company”.
CleanPaleo launching new product at the Expo
CleanPaleo is a NZ company dedicated to creating great tasting, clean,
whole food products that let your body know that ‘You Mean Business’ when
it comes to looking after yourself. The Expo will give visitors a chance to

because they genuinely are a healthy snacking option – less than 20% sugar
and they taste amazing! Make sure you stop by the CleanPaleo site in the
Expo Taste Zone where you can also chat with reality TV couple and health
gurus Art Green and Matilda Rice.

proponents of healthier eating with Art extending his interest in healthier
living into a business venture, part-owning Riot Foods, which consists of
sub-brands Clean Paleo and Poppy and Olive which you can both discover
at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo.
The popular Craft Zone will include artisan crafters from all over New
Zealand with gorgeous original products often not found in shops including
kitchen herb planters, soaps & beauty products, original art, home decor,
handmade jewellery, beeswax wraps and more.
