Fight
against
bus route
cuts
heats up
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A DEPUTATION has
been made to Environment
Canterbury to fight against
the cutting of bus routes
in Linwood, Bromley and
Woolston.
Woolston Residents’
Association chairwoman Jackie
Simons and Woolston resident
and affected bus user Paul
McMahon presented a petition
of more than 1200 signatures on
Thursday.
ECan chief executive Bill Bayfield
will investigate the issues
raised.
It is after ECan planned to cut
bus route 535 and reroute the
145 Westmorland service into
the central city meaning it would
no longer travel to Eastgate Mall.
Initially, this meant no bus
service would run through
Bromley.
ECan has since come back
with a shopper service, the
155, which will be introduced
in the south-east of the city,
running between Lyttelton and
Eastgate via Ferrymead. The
155 is planned to replace the 535
and 145 Westmorland service
running into Eastgate.

THE ACID test is about to go on
Cashmere High’s basketball team.
They’re off to the nationals in
Palmerston North next week with some
grand form behind them (see page 10).
Captain, Quinten Conner says getting the simple things right
will be the key.
That might sound logical, but in any sport you have to do the
basics right if you are to have any chance of winning. The less
mistakes you make means the less chance you have of losing
the ball.
And retaining possession is everything, whether it be
basketball, league, rugby or football.
The Cashmere boys have also had two friendly games against
older opposition to prepare for the nationals.
Hopefully, that’s the final tune-up they need.

Playground closure gets backing
Local
News
Now
In Brief
Fire rages, homes at risk
• 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.
David East
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.
Pegasus Post
reported how the event has
come under scrutiny from
the city council as part of

Celebrating our Tui
“The Tui’s sing-songy warble is in the
distance as I write. Often when
I’m outside I answer back with a
somewhat substandard whistle
to try and make them answer.
At the edge of the path leading
down to the bridge is a large
tree. Most of the year it sits in
a rather unspectacular manner
waiting for it’s time in the sun.
Then, as if from nowhere, it
bursts into flower. Great clusters
of colour embellish it’s branches.
And then they come. The Tui. I once
counted twenty eight Tui from near and
far feasting on the nectar with frenzied passion.
The beauty of the tree and the Tui’s song was
enchanting.
Ever watchful on flax fronds or drunk on fresh Kowhai
nectar, our Tui with their sheeney feathers and white
bib are captivating; that haunting call to another bird

Kirsty spent her early working
career in the advertising
industry pushing her brain to
explore words and imagery.
However the artistic pull was
strong and she chose to become
a fulltime artist in 1997.
Although she has explored other
subjects, she is constantly
drawn to the New Zealand
landscape in its various guises.
Her imagery often brings the native
bush to the foreground to give the feeling of stepping
into the scene, the coastline just within reach in the
background.

Bid to protect penguins
LYTTELTON PORT Company
is working with ecologists to
protect penguins as construction
begins on the new cruise berth.
Land-side pilling had begun
for the new berth, completion of
which was expected for the 2021
cruise season.
Ecologist Annabelle Coates
is part of a team checking the
construction site for nesting little
white-flippered penguins.
“We look for penguins and also
for penguin poo, which looks like
a splat of white paint. Often, if
they are around, you can smell
them, too,” she said.
The ecologists had installed
timed and motion detecting infrared
cameras along the seawall
to monitor the area for birds
arriving at night.
The little white-flippered
penguin, sometimes known as
the little blue penguin or fairy
penguin, is small with a distinctive
white stripe on the top of its
wing.
While the white-flippered penguins
are found only on Banks
Peninsula scientists believe they
are not genetically different from
little penguins.
“It’s kind of like how you get
black fantails and grey fantails
but they are the same species,”
Ms Coates said.
LPC environmental manager
MONITORING: Annabelle Coates installing motion detection
infrared cameras along the seawall. ​
Kim Kelleher said voluntary
wildlife training, including looking
after penguins, was popular
with staff.
“The port has recently added a
wildlife section to its construction
management plan. This
clearly spells out what needs to
happen if any wildlife is encountered.
Construction has to stop
and a trained staff member will
come and assess the situation,”
she said.
Once ecologists declare the
cruise berth site to be penguinfree,
holes will be filled in to keep
the birds from nesting there during
construction.
Their breeding season runs
from August to February and
eggs are generally laid between
July and November. Eggs take
around 37 days to hatch and
chicks leave the nest at around 55
days old.
Around the port, penguins
have been known to nest in the
seawalls from the inner harbour
to near the coal yard. LPC controls
predators such as rats and
possums in the area and surveys
the nests.
The company was authorised
to handle the penguins if they
needed to move them.

It would run three times a day
Monday-Friday. The number of
times the bus is planned to run
has raised concerns in the community.
The new bus routes are
planned to come into place in
October.
“Looking at the long-term view
of what these buses being cut can
do to our community is almost
heart-breaking,” Ms Simons told
the council.
She said the cutting of the bus
routes will lead to isolation for
some of the most vulnerable in
the city.
Ms Simons said when people
become isolated they suffer depression,
they don’t eat properly
and they won’t go to the doctor
because they had to get a taxi for
their groceries.
“Most of the people you are
taking these buses away from, are
hard-working honest people.”
She said the costs of cutting the
bus services will fall back onto
community groups including the
Salvation Army and Presbyterian
Support services.

Her views were supported by

Westmorland is getting an extension

He said while the route of the
155 was great, running it three

Twenty people between six and
100 were needed for the Lyttelton
Arts Factory’s biggest community
theatre event, with rehearsals set
to begin next month for the January
show.
Co-directors Mike Friend and

The most produced play in the
United States, Our Town, was a
72-year-old drama about a small
town of average people.
The story had been adapted to
a local setting by Mike Friend,
Hester Ullyart and Joe Bennett.
“This play had to be adapted to
be about our town. Not someone

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

Police won’t

cameras
• By Matt Salmons
POLICE WILL not help pay
for crime cameras proposed in
Sumner and now residents will
seek community board funding.
Concerned residents raised
$4000 to buy two CCTV cameras
last year, but were told they
needed cameras which would
work with the Christchurch City
Crime Camera Network.
The two cameras will cost
$20,000, leaving them $16,000
short.
Police previously told the residents
that money may have been
available for the cameras from a
discretionary fund.
However, a letter from police
to the Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board quashed
its financial support for the
proposed cameras due to a lack of
funding.
South Island police district
services manager Kelvin Giddens
said the budget allocated towards
the cameras had been halved this
year.
Mr Giddens said for the past
seven years, police and the city
council had worked in partnership
to maintain and expand the
camera network.

Firefighters put to test in training exercises
• By Matt Salmons
CAR FIRES, smoke, fire engines

Brigade chief fire officer Andrew

The 52 firefighters and 14

“They’re the people running the

because they set the scene,” Mr
Norris said.
The four scenarios were rescuing
a heart attack victim from
a dinghy, recovering a crashed
mountain-biker, controlling a
vegetation fire and dealing with a
car fire.
“The basic of it is to keep it
simple,” Mr Norris said.
“We had patients with realistic

Design for Collett’s Corner selected
• By Matt Salmons
A LINK to Lyttelton’s creative
chaos put design group in:flux’s
design The Hive on top in
the Collett’s Corner design
competition.
The winners were announced
on Friday morning after the
jury of Deputy Mayor Andrew
Turner, Tony van Raat and Ohu
founder Camia Young came to
a decision.
“I would say it was extremely
difficult. It was not an easy
decision,” Ms Young said.
“All three were remarkable,
and I would have been happy
with each and all of them.”
The 1144 online votes also
impacted the decision, Ms
Young said.
When finished, Collett’s
Corner would be a 2300m2
mixed-use building including
accommodation, workspaces,
cinemas, a bar, restaurant and
hot baths.
Winning design group
in:flux was selected thanks
to its recognition of the area’s
context, carefully curated arrangement
and use of scale.
Combining grand size and
human scale were very difficult
to do in architectural design,
Ms Young said, and designs
normally only achieved one or
the other.
She said in:flux had also
incorporated many suggestions
put forward by the community
earlier in the competition.
The in:flux team said they
were excited to help realise
Ohu’s plan after winning the
competition.
Member Paul Anselmi said
to would be exciting to see how
the community would use their
design.
“On the other hand I think
the proposed prefabrication
and timber construction
would be exciting to see grow
and add to Lyttleton’s unique
streetscape and scale,” he said.
As well as their design being
used for the build, in:flux took
home $10,000.
The other designers, Oto
Group and AHHA were also
recognised for aspects of their
designs and each received
$5000.
All three finalists had been
selected from a group of 31 initial
entries and had presented
their designs at a September 6
event.
Ohu was now looking for
business owners for the site
and would hold a second public
gathering on October 17 to
share the outline of the investment
proposal.
CREATIVE CHAOS: Blending with
Lyttelton’s creative vibe won the day
for in:flux’s design The Hive.

Cashmere basketballers ready national champs
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE HIGH School
basketball captain Quinten
Conner believes his team’s ability
to do the simple things well will
be their best asset at the national
champs next week.
The two-time South Island
champions under-performed
at the national secondary
schools’ championships last year,
finishing 13th.
Now Conner is eager to finish
his fourth and final year in the
team on a high note.
The championships at
Palmerston North run from
October 1-6.
“Last year between the
South Island and national
championships, I think we
switched off a bit and that hurt
our chances of performing well,”
he said.
To try to prevent that,
they had two friendly games
against Lincoln University and
Canterbury University last
Monday and Tuesday.
Conner says his squad has
more depth than 12 months ago
and that would suit tournament
basketball.
“Everyone knows their roles
and we don’t rely on specific
people,” he said.
“We can pound the ball inside
and get points, but we also have
perimeter shooters who can
knock it down.”
Cashmere will play Napier
Boys’ High School, Waimea
College, Macleans College
from Auckland, St Patrick’s
College from Wellington,
and another team yet to be
confirmed.
Cashmere are undefeated in
the Canterbury secondary school
competition this year and had an
undefeated trip to Auckland in
August where they beat Westlake
Boys’ High School, St Kentigern
College, Rangitoto College and
defending national champions
Rosmini College.
“Winning games against
North Island competition
always gives us a little bit
more confidence, even though
Rosmini was a little understrength
it shows we can match it
with their squad.”
Conner said if his team
can adjust to the faster pace
of the North Island style of
play, he is confident they
could go a long way in the
tournament.

Hornby Primary School students learning on their digital devices.
TrusT seeks supporT
for innovative education programme
Students at the Uru Manuka cluster of seven schools across
south-west Christchurch are benefitting significantly from
an innovative learning programme developed by two Auckland
teachers and based on a digital platform.
Since its launch in Christchurch three years ago, the programme
has been funded by the Manaiakalani Trust, which
funds the Auckland programme, but that support has now
come to an end and a new trust has been set up in Christchurch
to ensure the highly successful programme can
continue.
Principal of Hornby Primary Gary Roberts, says the major
cost of the programme is employing the educational programme
leaders (EPLs), who train the schools’ teachers to
provide one-on-one teaching for the students’ digital learning.
That cost is $80,000 to $100,000 per year.
“Pivotal to the success of the programme is the upskilling of
our teachers by the EPLs to deliver on a digital platform,”
Mr Roberts says, “and that’s why we formed the Charitable
Education Trust to source funds.”
The trustees are manager of The Hub Jason Marsden,
former Christchurch mayor Garry Moore, Janine Morrell-
Gunn, Rose Crossland and Daisy Lavea-Timo. They are
speaking to various businesses and organisations, initially
focusing on the Hornby area, Mr Roberts says. Hornby
Rotary has come on board with funding, and they are
hoping the general public will also consider supporting the
programme.
“For example, for the cost of two coffees a week, or $40
a month, you could support the 1900 learners in the Uru
Manuka cluster, or you could make a one-off donation,” he
says.
“This is a ‘good news’ story about transforming the way
teaching on a digital platform creates engaged, motivated
learners. Student achievement data is supplied to the Woolf
Fisher Research Centre at Auckland University for analysis,
and the results are proving the programme is making a difference.”
Fundamental to the programme’s success is the cohesive
approach teachers across the cluster are taking, Mr Roberts
says.
“The kids are hugely advantaged by that consistency, particularly
in the transition from years 4, 5 and 6 into years
7-13.”
Donations to the trust can be made by direct credit, and
donations over $5 are tax- deductible. For more information,
contact Gary Roberts, principal Hornby Primary
School, phone 349 7238, or Robin Sutton, principal Hornby
High School, phone 349 5396.

Major projecT
to revamp popular club
Three Villa Maria College students have
taken out a national technology competition.
The competition, called the Search for the
Next Tech Girl Superhero is the signature
programme of the Tech Girls Movement.
It involves girls from across the country,
who are matched with a female tech
mentor who meets weekly with them for
12 weeks.
Teams identify a problem in their local
community to solve, then research and
document a solution in a business plan, build
a working app prototype and pitch it in a
public video.
The winners were announced on
September 16.
Villa Maria students Paris Wardle 15, Sarah
Williams and Leonie Stauder, both aged 14,
wanted to encourage more students to get
outside and bike to school, but in the safest
way possible.
Their app is called “Bi-schooling”. The app’s
goal is to make children more confident
when riding a bike on the road.
Villa Maria College students
Leonie Stauder, 14, Paris
Wardle, 15, and Sarah Williams,
14, won a national technology
competition.
To do that, children are taught road rules
through the app and join others to bike as
a group.
“Our app is based on helping the
environment, people’s health and to educate
them about biking.
“We chose this because we noticed that
less children are biking to school, and
getting less exercise,” Paris said.
More bikers will reduce emissions from
cars, she said.
Another team member, Leonie, said it was
exciting to win the national competition.
“We worked hard on developing the app
and making sure it solves the problems we
identified.
“Technology can make a real difference in
our lives, and it’s possible to use technology
to make healthy choices, like biking to
school, and be safe at the same time.”
The team received support from a mentor
from tech-company Intergen, Sarah said.
An exciting two-year redevelopment project
starting in November at the Hornby Workingmen’s
Club will bring the club into the
21st century, general manager Paul Inwood
says.
A major undertaking, the project will involve
the demolition and rebuilding of half the
club’s current premises. Mr Inwood explains:
“The main bar area needed to be earthquake
strengthened, so the board decided
to look at the bigger picture, starting with
the Westview Lounge and Chalmers restaurant
being demolished and rebuilt.”
The rebuilt area will incorporate a large
sports bar on the ground floor and a mezzanine
floor above. There will also be a café
serving cabinet food and opening out to a
deck where people can sit.
“That part of the project will be completed
by November-December 2019,” Mr Inwood
says.
Following that, the main bar will be gutted
and a new restaurant with indoor children’s
playground and corporate area along with
facilities for sporting sections will be built
in that space, taking a further 12 months to
complete.
“The forward thinking of the board has
made the redevelopment possible, with the
club’s investments in local businesses providing
support,” Mr Inwood says.
The redeveloped club will be a multi-functional
facility where families can spend time
in a relaxed environment, with a lot more
opportunities to enjoy the club, he says.
“There is a huge market for us with a
younger generation moving into the Wigram,
Prebbleton and Rolleston areas, but at
the same time we will continue to cater for
our core customer base, the people who
like to come here every day.

uSed to Help HomeleSS
by By Matt SalMonS and anan Zaki
Plastic bags collected from Halswell are being woven into
sleeping mats to help the homeless.
Community support worker Kerry Langley collects bags
and works them into mats. She also teaches others to do
the same.
“I’m just wanting to make a difference.
“It’s warmth, if you don’t have anything underneath you
when you sleep, it’s horrible,” Ms Langley said.
Ms Langley has been a community support worker for 30
years, helping the homeless and troubled youth adjust in
society.
The sleeping mats are woven at Handiscope Aranui, which
is a charity craft group. Ms Langley has been volunteering
at Handiscope since January.
The plastic bag sleeping mat was designed by Handiscope
Aranui volunteers Rose Edwards, Julie Williams and Tina
Worrill.
Mrs Williams said the Handiscope volunteers have
been making the mats for two years and also teach at
Christchurch Prison.
“Two of our volunteers have gone out to the prison
and shown the inmates how to do this so they’re also
creative.”
Each mat has about 6000 plastic bags, Mrs Williams said.
Many people don’t understand the homeless, Ms Langley
said.
“People are not giving anything. At any given time, it
[becoming homeless] could happen to anybody. They’re
very vulnerable.
“They can’t usually go to food banks because they can’t
carry the food,” Ms Langley said.
Ms Langley said there was “great potential” with plastic
bags and is not worried about supermarkets phasing bags
out.
“You can do so much with them. Even with [plastic bag
bans], people must have heaps at home,” she said.
Ms Langley said creating the mats out of plastic bags takes
a lot of practice.
“The supermarket bags are folded and cut into strips, then
tied together. It’s like a ball of wool but it’s a ball a plastic.
“Then we either weave them, use a crochet hook or knit
with big needles,” Ms Langley said.
It takes her two weeks to knit a blanket, scheduling it
around her work as a community support worker.
The Halswell Community Hub served as the main
collection point for the bags.
Halswell Community Project coordinator Kate Cleverly
said the bags had been coming in “thick and fast”.
“We’ve currently got four massive bags full that the
local New World delivered and we normally get about a
wheelie bin full in a week,” she said.
She said the best part of the scheme was that the sleeping
mats went directly to those who needed them most.

Demolition is underway to clear the site for stage 2.

New school spaces
bring positive response
The first stage of the rebuild at Te Huruhuru
Ao o Horomaka Hornby High is complete,
with about a quarter of the school roll settled
into the new building – and loving it.
As principal Robin Sutton explains, “The response
from the kids has been fantastic. They
love the new spaces and are responding really
positively to their new environment.”
The cleverly designed and versatile layout of
the building sees the incorporation of the
administration areas and specialist learning
spaces with creative arts at the centre, surrounded
by science, technologies and food.
customer service
key to success
Students making use of the learning commons to
study and have group discussions.
There are also learning commons with a range
of spaces where students can study on their
own, have group discussions or take part in
cross-curriculum work, while hauora student
services, a bi-lingual unit and the whare, used
for relevant cultural activities, are also located
in the building.
The building is a manifestation of the school’s
vision to be a “centre of creative excellence
Te puna auaha”, Mr Sutton says, and this will
be continued in the other new buildings being
constructed over the coming months.
A new gymnasium has also been built, incorporating
a full-size basketball court, fitness room
and a classroom that is available for a range of
sports-related activities. The existing gym has
been retained and brought up to specification,
providing the school with a second, full-size
basketball court – basketball and badminton
being two of the school’s main sports, along
with a range of other codes including football
and hockey.
Demolition of other buildings is currently
underway with the contractors busy clearing
the site for stage two of the rebuild, which will
be undertaken next year. The whole project is
due for completion in 2020.
The cultural significance of the area
where Hornby High is located has been
recognised with Ngai Tahu gifting special
names for the different parts of the rebuilt
school.
In recognition of the school’s desire for
students to feel a sense of belonging to
their kahui (cluster, group, block) and for
the spaces to have an identity, Ngai Tahu
suggested using names of birds that can be
found in the Hornby area.
Names put forward were Mohua, (yellowhead),
Riroriro, (grey warbler), Tieke
(saddleback), Pipiwharauroa, (shining
cuckoo) and Korimako/Koparapara (bellbird),
and the students have initially chosen
Tieke, Mohua and Riroriro.
The various departments have also been

LocaL cLuB
a NurserY
for rugby league
talent
Brad Campbell in action during his Premier debut season for the Hornby Panthers.
Hornby Panthers is the biggest rugby league
club in Christchurch, has a long history as
a nursery for talented rugby league players
and has always been very focused on developing
its junior players, says club president
Brent Tomlinson.
Brent says the Panthers’ “Stronger together”
programme has formalised processes
and given structure to the coaching and
mentoring of these players, and this can be
evidenced by the number of talented youth
being associated with Australia NRL and
feeder clubs.
The Hornby Premiers have played in seven
Canterbury Rugby League Grand finals in
the last 10 years, most recently in 2017 and
2018, and with an increasing number of juniors
being ‘blooded’ from the club’s 18-year
team, this pattern looks to continue.
“Eighteens has always been a strong grade
for the club; however, we are very much in a
purple patch at the moment,” Brent says.
“We have Nu Brown with the NRL side
Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Tevin
Arona is with NZ Warriors reserve grade,
and Jordan Riki has signed a contract with
the Brisbane Broncos and was recently
named in the junior Kiwis side that will play
later this year.
“Zin Zan Martin is playing for a North
Queensland Cowboys feeder team and
Caius Faatili is also associated with the
Cowboys.”
Hornby’s 18s side recently won the Canterbury
competition led by Captain Caius
Faatili, and the side is full of talented players,
10 of whom have been named in the Canterbury
17s squad and one in the Canterbury
19s. Many of the players are younger
than 18 and can expect to play in the grade
again next year.
According to Premier Coach Jed Lawrie,
they have done a lot of work with the club’s
senior teams and coaching staff and are
transitioning well into senior football.
Up and coming young players Brad Campbell
and Papa Muutu have moved into the
regular playing positions in the premier
squad.
“It’s all about giving back and there is a good
group of senior players really giving back to
our juniors and it pays off in so many ways
for them and the club,” Brent says.
Why we love pasta

seTTING up a raiSed garden
Kiwi Gardener’s Shannon Hunt share tips that will make make springtime growing a breeze.
By all accounts we are in for a highly productive growing season this spring so for those of you who are gingerly
dipping your toes into gardening for the first time and those who are ready to bolt in – boots, overalls and
all – let’s look at tips on how to create a garden that suits your physical and budget requirements.
Step 1: Not too Low, Not too
wide
Make sure the height and width of a new
container garden is built so you don’t have
to bend and you can easily reach from one
side to the other. Wide gardens create
extra work so go for a ‘skinny’ garden and
make it longer to accommodate all your
plantings. Place weed mat on the bottom
and fill the first quarter with small rocks,
gravel and concrete pieces for drainage.
The next quarter can be river sand so as
to reduce the amount of media you need.
Step 2: CLoSer rather thaN
Further
Build your garden as close to your back
door as is possible for easy access.
Along one side of your deck, beside
the pathway from your back door, or
along the side of your house should
work well. Easy access to your plants for
watering, fertilising and harvesting makes
your gardening time a lot more fun.
Step 3: tighter pLaNtiNg/riCher
FeediNg
Always use quality media and organic feed
in raised/container gardens as the plants’
roots have no way of finding more nutrients
other than what they have in the container.
Generally, the better the nutrients in
the soil, the less space is required for
each plant so you can successfully plant
closer together, but make sure you spray
with neem or spraying oil weekly once
your veges and salads start maturing.
Step 4: go higher & iN CirCLeS
To add more space to your garden and
make it ‘pop’ immediately, make or buy
a couple of obelisks (bamboo, wood or
wire) and plant your bean, pea, cucumber
or zucchini seeds at the base then train
the new seedlings around and up the
structure. As well as embellishing the look
of the garden, it gives you extra space,
makes for easy spraying and easy pickings.
Step 5: LoNg haNdLeS For LoNg
BaCkS
To reduce strain on your back when
digging, raking and hoeing, check out
the range of long-handled garden tools
available. Using these can make the
difference between really enjoying your
garden and it being a painful chore.
Step 6: pLaNt oNCe Not twiCe
I have lost count of how many disappointed
newbie gardeners have come to me over
the years to report their seedlings have
been munched right down to soil level
overnight. ‘What could do that?’ they ask,
oblivious to the voracious appetites of
an army of slugs and snails that march
across the garden every night. Always
lay (pet-safe) slug and snail bait at the
same time as you plant your seedlings.
tip:
Learning effective and safe gardening
practices from the beginning is a great
way to ensure that time in your garden
does not become a painful, unpleasant
chore. If you have a big, wide garden,
then a good, strong, lightweight kneeling
pad that morphs into a seat is a brilliant
piece of equipment to have with you in
your garden at all times, no matter what
stage of gardening or life you are at.
Hidden treasures, right
in the centre of Riccarton
Natural Attraction Antiques and
Treasure started life as a hair salon
(Natural Attraction Hair Stylists)
over 30 years ago and has gradually
transitioned over to an antique shop
with four registered dealers - Sue, Geoff,
Steve and Uma – providing expertise
and unique things. Part of its ongoing
charm is that two of the dealers are still
also hairdressers so some days you will
find clients having their hair done in the
salon section of the shop while others
are browsing the eclectic displays of
jewellery, curios, fabrics and porcelain.
They cover a wide range of traditional
antiques, decorative items and plenty
of interesting collectables making it the
perfect place if you want a special gift
for any occasion or have been searching
for that piece to complete a collection.
Prices are reasonable and range from
$5-$500 with new stock brought in
every week. If they don’t have what you
are looking for, they are always happy
to try and source specific pieces, taking
their treasure-hunt far and wide. You
can also try their main shop, The Ferry
Antique Centre at 282 Ferry Road,
Waltham.
Located at the Windmill Centre, 184
Clarence Street, there is easy parking at
the door and the shop is near to the wellknown
“Ed Hopper” coffee shop - they
recommend that customers check out
the coffees and legendary date scones.

creaTe BeTTer GarDeNs
WitH tHe team at garden box
New owner, new name, new products but
still the same great standards - change is in
the air for Garden Box, formerly Parkhouse
Garden Supplies.
New owners, Janine and Jaimie McNabb,
are committed to supplying Christchurch
gardeners, landscapers and builders with
terrific service and a huge range of garden
and landscape supplies.
When Janine and Jaimie took over from
Noel Dick, who retired in August after 25
years of hard work establishing the business,
they changed the name to Garden Box
as they hadn’t been located on Parkhouse
Road for years, and taking inspiration from
the shipping containers, or “boxes” used for
the shop and offices on- site.
Current customers will see plenty of familiar
faces as the existing staff have all stayed
on to form Team Garden Box. The theme
of a family business will continue as Melissa,
Noel’s daughter remains the Operations
Manager. Janine and Jaimie are encouraging
their boys to get off the xBox to work at
Garden Box.
Now firmly established in the easy-to
-access location at Lunns Roads, just off
Curletts Road, customers can select from
Canterbury’s largest selection of aggregates,
gravels, mulches, decorative barks and
organic composts and much more. New
products are being added – follow them on
Facebook for alerts and specials.
Garden Box is set up to supply as little a
single bag of sawdust to the garden requirements
for a subdivision. Having a small fleet
of delivery trucks and hire trailers they can
get product to you 7 days a week.
Team Garden Box see service as a priority
making sure that customers have the right
products to “create better gardens”. Open

FoLLoWme
The colour yellow
Add a bit of zest to your wardrobe.
Regardless of the weather outside, yellow clothing will
brighten everyone’s mood. Barrister and celebrity style
icon Amal Clooney has been showing us how it’s done, so
take note. This particular colour looks best in the form of a
mid- to long-length dress, no matter what time of the year.
A wooden clutch and jewellery to match will complement
your new favourite dress perfectly. Sales of yellow dresses
and blouses have risen significantly worldwide, so now’s the
perfect time to get your claws on one.
Zodiac-inspired sTyle
It’s written in the stars.
From nail art to statement handbags, the zodiac trend
has rocketed back into the limelight and we’re over the

our fancy and there’s plenty on the market. Whilst trends
come and go, your zodiac sign is pretty personal, so we’re

definitely in favour of investing in a piece of jewellery
that represents yours. Astrology may or may not be
something you’re interested in, but either way, it looks
damn good. We think the world of Givenchy’s offering.
Trench coaTs
Fully practical, fully timeless.
The trench coat trend is one that comes back time
after time, and every time it does, we wonder how
we ever lived without it. Naturally, trench coats and
Burberry go hand in hand, but a plethora of other
brands have upped their game considerably, so there
are plenty of options from which to choose. Wide
ranges of colours are available, but we’re not sure you
should stray from that classic camel shade. Pair yours
with denim or a maxi skirt and make sure the one you
pick is waterproof; a damp trench coat isn’t a good
look.
BelT Bags
For hands-free style
And we’re not talking about the bulky Velcro kind
tourists wear on holiday. The new era of belt bags are
sleek, subtle and stylish. From high-waisted jeans and
a simple T-shirt during the day to your favourite dress
in the evening, they’re perfectly capable of upgrading
any outfit. We’d choose one in a rich shade of olive or
navy, but if you’re looking to make more of a statement,
there are piles of brightly coloured and embellished
options available, although picking just one will likely be
an issue. Bank card, phone and lipstick all in one safe,

rIccarToN HIGH scHooL
to celebrate 60tH Jubilee
Riccarton High School is celebrating a significant milestone
next month – its 60th Jubilee, and to mark the occasion, the
school is holding two events on October 27.
From 2pm-4pm there will be guided tours of the school,
which will include video presentations and displays put
together by teachers and students.
The tours will start from the school hall, and will be an
opportunity for former teachers and students to get a
snapshot of the changes and developments in teaching and
learning that have been happening at the school. Interested
locals are also welcome to join the tours.
The main event of the Jubilee celebration will be a social
evening at the Riccarton Raceway function rooms, starting
at 7pm, with around 200 former students, teachers and staff
expected to attend.
“This will be a great chance for us to celebrate the school’s
anniversary and to see old friends,” board chairman Alan
Aitken says.
“The school has been very future focused, but we are also
encouraging people to remember things from the past, from
their days at the school.”
A former student himself, having attended from 1975-1979,
Alan says the school has come a long way over the past
60 years, and is “what you would hope for as a much more
diverse 21st-century high school”.
“The school is moving into exciting times for all sorts of
positive reasons. Major reconstruction will hopefully be
happening over the next three years, though it is still in the
early planning stages.
“It’s positive in terms of education, too, especially with
changing technology. And the diversity in our school is
something to celebrate – we have over 50 different ethnic
groups and that gives our school enormous strength,” Alan
says.
The school received positive comments during a recent
ERO visit, which was pleasing, Alan says.
“We see Riccarton High School as a place where young
people can flourish, which is what a school should be. Coming
back as an adult, with a different perspective, I have been
encouraged by the professionalism of the teaching staff,
who are all highly committed and focused on preparing our
students well for the future.”

up-To-DaTe HeaLTH care
in an atmoSpHere of old-faSHioned cHarm
After almost three unbroken decades at
Church Corner, Riccarton Clinic continues
to provide GP services and urgent medical
care, treating thousands of patients every
year. In fact, it is the third busiest medical
facility in Christchurch.
That growth has led to them purchasing and
re-modelling a nearby residential property
into a general practice suite, which, according
to the clinic’s General Manager Mark
Darvill “is (deliberately) quite different from
our existing, purpose-built facility.” The midcentury
building, located at 20 Brake Street
is full of charm, period features and has a
calm presence.
Remodelled to be more suitable as GP
rooms, the original wallpaper and Axminster
carpeting have been retained where possible
and beautiful rimu flooring has also been
exposed and lovingly restored. To add to the
ambience, the Riccarton Clinic team have
sourced desks, beds and other items of furniture
that fit with the peaceful, period style.
Mark comments that, “it’s like stepping back
in time. The look and feel of the property
invokes a calmness and wonder in everyone
who visits.”
There are four carparks and a disabled
parking space, ramped access at the rear,
and additional parking nearby. The gardens
are beautiful with many original roses (some
over 50 years old), established camelias and
other shrubs. Indeed, the garden has even
gained a Community Board award.
The facilities at Riccarton Clinic’s Church
Corner site, which deals with both scheduled
appointments, and urgent care without
appointments between 8am and 8pm, were
purpose-built to provide health care in a
modern, clinical setting. In contrast, the GP
rooms at 20 Brake Street offer up-to-date
health care, 9am to 5pm, in an atmosphere
of old-fashioned charm.
To book an appointment at either site, or to

Riccarton Clinic, visit www.riccartonclinic.

supporT For aLLerGY-suFFerers
in tHe garden city at laSt
The weather is already getting warmer and the days are
getting longer, but not all of us are looking forward to
the summer. For hay fever sufferers, spring and summer
can mean sore, irritated eyes; sneezing and blocked
noses; sinus infections; tiredness and poor sleep. All
that can add up to time off from school and work, and
reduced performance when sufferers do attend. When
you factor in that one out of every five New Zealanders
suffers from allergic rhinitis, that’s quite an impact.
However, help is at hand thanks to the South Island
Allergy Service which is based at Riccarton Clinic Medical
Centre at 6 Yaldhurst Road. Their team of highlyexperienced
and qualified specialists offer a technique
called desensitisation or immunotherapy, which encourages
the body to build up tolerance to whatever sparks
the allergic reaction. The first step is skin prick testing,
an almost-painless process to identify exactly which allergen
sets off your reactions. Then, the desensitisation
process begins, usually at home and as early as possible
before the hay fever season begins.
However, the Allergy Service team uses this technique
to treat many more concerns as well as hay fever. Food
allergies and intolerances are common and can be
life-threatening. Some symptoms such as hives, eczema,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are obvious, but other
symptoms, especially in children, can be confused as
general eczema, reflux or colic. Testing and accurate
diagnoses can put a parents’ mind at rest, and immunotherapy
can begin a gentle process to reduce the
allergic reaction.
Other allergens can be found in the air that we breathe.
Dander from the much-loved family pet, dust mites and
mould can result in rashes, swollen eyes and asthma.
Trying to avoid these triggers is a great solution, but not
always possible, so again, accurate diagnoses will help
determine just what is the cause and what can be done

SOUTHERN VIEW
Price – Toyota Prius Prime, $48,490
Dimensions – Length, 4645mm; width, 1760mm; height, 1470mm
Configuration – Four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive, 1798cc, 90kW, 142Nm, continuously variable automatic.
Performance – 0-100km/h, 11.1sec
Fuel usage – 1l/100km
by ROSS KIDDIE
When industry analysts predict the cost of petrol will rise
towards $3 a litre, you can almost guarantee that will be a high
probability.
The surging cost of fuel also translates to a buyer focus
towards hybrid and electric vehicles, manufacturing companies
are fast tracking development of fossil fuel alternatives and
already New Zealand has a strong focus on vehicles which use
renewable energy.
Of course, it’s no surprise that Toyota have a strong foothold
on hybrid development, it (and Lexus) has several hybrid
models listed here including the legendary Prius, the car which
kicked off the hybrid revolution.
Until now, Prius new has been a conventional hybrid; Toyota
New Zealand did introduce the Japan-sourced pre-owned
plug-in model a couple of years ago, but it’s only now that
plug-in Prius models are available new at the dealership, and it
is badged Prius Prime.
The Prime lands here at $48,490, with $1500 buying you into
leather. The evaluation car was the cloth-trimmed model, and
the first thing you notice is that it still has that easy-to-drive
operation that we have come to know in Prius, it is intuitive
and the hybrid system is still very much intact, the plug-in
facility is an extra, which is there to offer electric-only travel.
When battery energy runs low, the four-cylinder 1.8-litre
petrol mechanism cuts in to work in the way that hybrids have
now become familiar, eliminating any range anxiety.
The Prius Prime is rated with a 1-litre per 100km weighted
fuel usage average. Toyota also claims a 63km range on electric
power only, and with the petrol power back-up there’s no
need to feel range anxiety, the transition is seamless. There’s
also a 4hr 30min charge time for the Prius Prime.
The Prius also has console-mounted buttons to alternate
between the two power sources at the driver’s discretion, but
the Prius in this form is intuitive, it does things in its own way,
the driver isn’t really aware what is going on under the bonnet.
In mechanical terms, the four-cylinder, 1.8-litre engine is
traditional Prius fare, it develops 77kW and 142Nm, taking
into account an extra 18kW is available through battery
power. Nevertheless, these outputs are modest, and it must be
remembered that the plug-in Prius wants to use electric drive,
the petrol engine is almost just a back-up.
Drive is sent through the front wheels through a continuously
variable automatic transmission, that adds to the seamless
process, the Prius is smooth and acceleration is instant,
although it’s not quick, an 11.1sec time to reach 100km/h from
a standstill is pretty average.
However, Prius owners aren’t about performance, it’s a
case of making the most of every precious drop of fuel, and
with electric charging the Prius Prime is the quintessential
commuter.
Even though it’s at its best working in that role, I took the
evaluation car on my usual highway loop, the roads below the
Malvern Hills are a mix of long straights interspersed with
some free-flowing corners.
Toyota has developed a new platform for Prius which
promotes a more engaging driving feel. In terms of handling,
the Prius feels taut and a lot more nimble than I remember
previous versions to be. The spring and damper rates are
firmish, but not so much that comfort is jeopardised.
It must be said the Prius in this form is a lot more affordable
that it has ever been before, yet there hasn’t been a dropoff
in specification. All of the usual Toyota ingredients are on
offer, niceties such as heated seats, adaptive cruise control and
head-up display are just some of the many items that are fitted
as standard specification. Of course, the Prius is safe, its fivestar
safety rating is attributable to the Toyota Safety Sense of
electronic features which keep the vehicle out of trouble in the
first instance.
In New Zealand there are several plug-in, electric-only models
in our new car market, and there are many others available
pre-owned through direct imports from Japan, and if you take
into account the multitude of hybrid models available new, then
the Prius Prime won’t have everything its own way.
However, it’s nice to buy new, and to know that the
battery technology won’t let you down, there’s an eightyear/160,000km
battery warranty. It’s good to know that not
only are you doing something for the environment, the fuel
savings alone will go a long way towards that initial purchase
cost.
REVITALIZE YOUR HEARING
Do you or your loved ones have difficulty with your hearing?
Hearing loss is an invisible condition
which sneaks up on you very gradually.
Overcoming hearing loss has never
been easier with new, almost invisible,
digital hearing devices. Our friendly,

The team at Hear Again Christchurch
Discovering you, or your loved ones have
a problem with your ears or hearing can
be very concerning. A quick search on the
internet can conjure up many warnings of
the possible underlying health issues which
can cause hearing loss; but in reality the
most common causes of hearing issues are
wax build up in the ear canal or age related
hearing loss.
Whatever your ear or hearing problem
is, the Team at Hear Again in the Hub,
Hornby, will put any concerns you may
have quickly to bed. They take the time
to listen, get to know you and fully assess
how they can help. Using the very latest
micro-suction, Ear-wax can be removed
simply and comfortably; usually providing an
instant result: with many delighted clients
proclaiming, “that’s wonderful, I can Hear
Again!” as the world opens up to them
again.
Age related hearing loss creeps up on you
very slowly, so this may something your
family and friends notice before you do.
Usually starting as a reduction in clarity
of speech, this can cause problems when
watching TV, or when trying to listen to
conversation in a social environment. If
you find yourself saying, “Pardon?” often,
or nodding in agreement when you have
not heard clearly, these are tell-tale signs.
Hear Again offer a FREE Initial Hearing
Assessment which will quickly establish if
you need further assistance. And with high
quality hearing aids available for only $495,
fitted and personalized (assuming you are
eligible for a $1022.22 government subsidy
for hearing aids), they can also allay any
concerns about the costs involved.

Burnside High School
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.
Golf Success
The Burnside High School Golf team came a very respectable
3rd in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Golf Final, on
Monday 3rd September, in Palmerston North.
Juliana Hung has been selected in the New Zealand Golf Team
to participate in the 2018 Buenos Aires Youth Olympics from
6 - 18 October, with the team departing for Argentina on 3
October.
If you are keen to follow Juliana's progress in the competition
you can do so through the NZ Team App, plus there will also
be daily highlights packages on Sky and Prime in the evenings.
You will find the NZ Team App in the App Store under NZ
Team.

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
Band and Junior Concert Band also won Gold Awards at
the CWSTMA Wind Festival in Christchurch.
The finale to our busy term will be “The Rat Pack”; a
tribute to the songs of Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean
Martin performed by our multi award-winning Big Band
with 20 piece string section and vocal soloists from the
Specialist Music Programme. This concert is being held
at The Piano, 7.00pm on Saturday 29th September and
is sure to sell out so get your tickets quickly from the
student office.

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.

Table Tennis National
success
The New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Championships were
held in Hamilton this year. Our Boys team won the Boys' Open
Teams title again this year, defending their title from last year.
Our Girls team came 3rd in the Boys' Open Teams Grade,
after losing to our Boys' team in the semi-final. This was the
only game our Girls' team lost, as they beat all the other boys’
teams in the competition.

pLaN Your NexT HoLIDaY
WitH expert travel team
Time to book your tickets to Japan for the next Rugby World Cup with House
of Travel Hornby.
It has been a really exciting 2018 for House of Travel Hornby,
says business owner Paula Waldeck, and what has made
it so exciting has been customer response to the expanded
premises, and having new members join the team.
“Our customers are loving the bigger space we have, and
the relaxed atmosphere at House of Travel Hornby,” Paula
says.
She and her team of experienced travel consultants suggest
that now is a good time to start planning for holidays in
2019.
“Just about the whole world is on sale,” Paula says, “so
people can really get good value on their holidays. We are
finding that cruising holidays in particular – both ocean and
river – in Europe and Asia are proving very popular.
“Japan is also one of the hot destinations, and we are lucky
to have two Japan specialists on the team. Kirsty lived in
Japan for three years, and Christine has also spent time
there. They have the knowledge and expertise to create individualised
itineraries for customers. There is also a House
of Travel escorted tour of Japan leaving from Christchurch
next year. By being escorted, it just takes the stress out of
your adventure.”
Rugby World Cup fever will be starting to build soon, and
for fans that want to see it live in Japan in September and
October 2019, HOT Hornby, as an agent for All Blacks
World Cup packages, can make all the bookings.
“Flights will be available in the next couple of months, and
we can book customers for the full tournament, or segments
of it, such as the semi-finals and finals if they wish,”

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
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.
Olivia, Emilie, Janine and Holly
Altenburg-Carey with Bishop Paul
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.
Mary-Lou Davidson
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.

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.

Ironman ready to take on
world champs in Hawaii
• By Matt Salmons
MIKE PHILLIPS is ready for
his biggest challenge yet – the
Ironman World Championships
in Hawaii.
Phillips left on Sunday to allow
himself three weeks to acclimatise
and scout the track ahead of
the October 13 event.
The Mt Pleasant athlete qualified
for the championships after
taking home silver at Ironman
Barcelona in October last year,
his first ever Ironman event.
His finishing time for the
3.8km swim, 180km cycle and
42km run of 7hr 52min 50sec
made him the second fastest
Kiwi ironman ever.
The Hawaii course looks “brutal”,
Phillips said.
It includes an ocean swim
and a coastal cycle track against
SPORTS
severe wind and baking sunshine
before finishing with a run
through a lava field.
“Apparently there’s lava on
either side of the track.
“You’ve got to experience it to
know what it’s like.”
He said he believes he will be
able to finish in the top 10 if he
has a good day.
“It would be cool to have a podium
finish, but in your first year
it’s probably a bit hard.”
Phillips has spent the last two
years as a professional triathlete
after leaving his job as a structural
engineer to pursue the sport.
“I’m not sure how long the
body will hold out so I’ll make
the most of it.”
As a professional, Phillips
competed in more than 10 events
each year, most of them overseas,
with prize money providing
enough income to keep him
going.
The transient lifestyle could
be “a bit of a tax,” he said. But he
formed a group of friends who he
regularly competed against.
“You can actually make some
quite good friendships at the
events.”
He trained for a minimum of
30 hours every week, swimming
25km, running 100km and cycling
500km.
The transition from training
as an amateur to training as a
professional had not been a”huge
jump” as he now had more time
for recovery.
“Even after a day at work you’re
pretty tired and I found I was
getting sick more and injuring
myself more when I was training
and working.”
GRUELLING: Mike Phillips
is in Hawaii for the Ironman
World Championships on
October 13.
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
treat the customer as if they are a family
member.
“Treat them like they are your mother,’’
he says.
Carrying the Trevor Crowe name also
means putting it right.
‘’We don’t expect things to go wrong,
but problems will be sorted out and the
customer is always told what to expect as
the process unfolds, and the cost will be
presented to the customer well before the
car is picked up.’’
For all your motoring needs or to
change your vehicle, the CroweSport
name means quality and reassurance.
“It’s about knowing how to do the right
thing by the customer,’’ Trevor says.

Moncks Bay slipway
costs $36,500
• By Matt Salmons
THE NEW Moncks Bay slipway
is installed at a cost of $36,500
to ratepayers.
The cost came as a pleasant
surprise to Christchurch Yacht
Club president Lindsay Ebert,
who said he had worried about
how much it drew from public
coffers.
“It’s not as bad as I’d thought,
I thought it would be a lot
more,” Mr Ebert said.
“Never mind, we’ve got a good
slip out of it, and so does the
public.”
The total cost included the
panels’ manufacture, site
excavation, fencing, removal of
excess soil, installing geotextile
and concrete haunch support
timbers, pumping grout into the
void and tidying up the site.
The concrete panel slipway
was installed to replace a trial
fibreglass slipway which was too
small for the site.
The breakdown of the $16,000
cost was $3000 for the panels,
$3000 for the installation and
$10,000 to remove the old,
damaged slipway.
“That cost would have been
incurred regardless,” Mr Moses
REPLACEMENT: The new
slipway cost $36,500 to

said. The fibreglass panels
were now being used on an old
timber ramp at Windsports
Park to extend its life.
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
Board requested the
pier’s cleaning regime from city
council staff at a recent meeting.
Board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said he brought the issue
up after he noticed it was “quite
messy” one
day when he
was out on
the pier.
“There was
quite a lot of
blood around
and it was just
Tim Sintes
unsightly,” he
said.
Mr Sintes said while he is an
ex-fisherman and he wouldn’t
worry too much himself, he was
thinking more about how other
visitors would view the pier.
The city council’s head of
parks Andrew Rutledge told
Pegasus Post the pier is swept
and washed down daily along
with the bins emptied.
Annually, $70,000 goes towards
the regular maintenance

and cleaning of the pier.
Mr Rutledge said the complaints
over fishermen using the
pier have been minimal with less
than six in the past year.
He said there is no update or
plans to permanently ban fishermen
from using the pier.
In 2016, the city council

What’s On
Entertainment
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

musicians. Vocal accompaniment
will be provided by a gospel choir
and male quartet.
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.

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

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”.
