TALENTED: Burnside gymnasts Luke, Sian and Cole Stevens are set to compete at the national championships in Tauranga 

tomorrow. 

Siblings a triple threat at nationals 

• By Jacob Page 

THREE BURNSIDE siblings 

are putting the final touches 

on their artistic gymnastics 

routines ahead of the national 

champs tomorrow. 

Christchurch School of 

Gymnastics members Luke, 

16, and twins Cole and Sian 

Stevens, 14, will compete against 

the country’s best at the New 

Zealand championships in 

Tauranga which start tomorrow. 

The siblings have been 

competing in gymnastics for 

almost nine years. 

The trio said their QE II Park 

training base was like a 

second home. 

“We probably spend as much 

time there as we do at home,” 

Luke said. 

“This is where our friends are 

and it’s where we have always 

had fun,” Cole said. 

Luke and Cole train for 19 

hours a week and Sian trains up 

to 30 hours a week. 

Due to Sian’s heavy training 

commitments, she attends 

Prosilio for 3.5 hours a day, 

which is part of the Ao Tawhiti 

School. It allows her to 

study around her training 

schedule. 

Luke and Cole attend 

Burnside High School.

RATEPAYERS HAD to fork 

out $3079 for three sessions 

for an independent facilitator 

to resolve disputes within a 

community board. 

Last week, Western News 

revealed that problems within 

the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board led to a 

closed door meeting with 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel and chief 

executive Karleen Edwards. 

To resolve conflicts, board 

members requested meetings 

with an independent facilitator 

in October last year. 

The city council would not say 

who the facilitator was due to 

privacy reasons and commercial 

sensitivity. 

The money came from the 

elected members’ professional 

development budget. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

declined to comment on 

whether the $3079 spend was 

appropriate or not. 

But he said the funding is 

often used for training elected 

members.

CONFLICT WITHIN the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community Board has 

taken a new twist. 

We reveal today (page 1) the city council 

hired an independent facilitator – whatever 

that means – to counsel/advise the warring 

parties. The three sessions cost $1000 each. 

Things have clearly not been smooth sailing on the board. The 

Denton Park saga has fuelled that. 

The money for the counselling sessions came from the city 

council’s elected members’ professional development budget. 

But what was actually said by the independent facilitator appears 

a secret. 

The only two board members who Western News was able to 

get hold of wouldn’t elaborate. 

Maybe the board needs some media training as well. And we 

wouldn’t charge $1000 a session. But some free advice: Be open 

and transparent.

Charity box items go missing 


A SALVATION Army store 

in Hornby has had enough of 

people taking donated goods. 

Items from the store’s afterhours 

donation box have gone 

missing, or have ended up damaged, 

Salvation Army Community 

Ministries Hornby director 

Kevin Waugh said. 

Mr Waugh said the donation 

box is left open to fit a variety of 

goods that the store may receive 

and counts on people’s honesty. 

But good Samaritans often 

alerted the store. 

“People from the community 

have said to us that during afterhours 

they’ve seen stuff dropped 

off and then seeing another car 

come in and go through everything,” 

he said. 

Mr Waugh is disappointed 

that people have taken advantage 

of the box. 

“It is [disappointing that] 

some in our community has 

decided they would like to go 

through them. 

“Stuff disappears, worst case 

is they throw it all around and 

make it unusable,” Mr Waugh 

said. 

Common items that go 

missing are clothing, pots and 

furniture. 

Police suggested additional 

security but the store will take 

another approach. 

Mr Waugh is asking people to 

stop donating goods after-hours 

and phone the store instead. 

“If you’ve got donations and 

you want to give it to us, call us 

and we’ll make arrangements to 

pick it up if it’s after-hours,” Mr 

Waugh said. 

People have also been breaking 

into waste bins, creating a 

nuisance to the store, Mr Waugh 

said. 

“When we go to use it, it’s full 

of other people’s rubbish. So 

we lock it but people have been 

breaking into it.” 

The store has gone through 

seven padlocks this year, Mr 

Waugh said. 

He said the “annoyances” distracts 

the charity from it’s job, 

which is to help the community. 

Mr Waugh believes the 

store’s location on the corner 

of Halswell Junction Rd and 

Columbia Ave may have contributed. 

“It’s an industrial area, it’s 

open, there’s all sorts of ways 

around the building nobody’s

there to say: ‘Don’t do that’,” he 

said. 

The store has been at it’s current 

location since December 

last year. 

“We won’t relocate just 

because this is happening. I 

|guess it’s part of what happens 

at op-shops. 

“Anything that’s dropped off 

outside is always a temptation to 

take,” Mr Waugh said.

FUTURE OF OAK TREES 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

voted to delay its decision on 

the future of 22 oak trees on 

Villa Grove, Upper Riccarton. 

Board chairman Mike Mora said 

members will inspect the street 

themselves next month before deciding 

on the future of the trees. 

Residents of the street complained 

that the trees have been causing

WESTERN NEWS 


Turning life around through love 

Riccarton addiction 

advocate Damian Holt 

recently received a 

community award from 

the city council for his 

public artwork. The 

57-year-old spoke to 

reporter Anan Zaki about 

his love of art and how 

it helped turn his life 

around 

ART HAS long been a cause of 

fascination for Damian Holt. 

When he was a young boy, his 

only interests were painting and 

English Football, more specifically 

Leeds United. 

He let those interests slip away 

in his teenage years as he started 

substance abuse at age 17. He let 

drugs take over his body. 

First it was heroin, then 

marijuana and alcohol. He used 

drugs until he was 38. 

“My addiction was directly 

linked to depression. 

“Instead of going to the doctor 

I was my own doctor. But I was 

actually making my depression 

worse by what I was putting into 

my body,” Mr Holt said. 

He believes his depression is 

just part his genetic make-up. 

HEALING: Painting murals helped Damian Holt recover from his own personal battle with 

addiction. 

“I think I was just born with it. 

I had it as a child. 

“I still endure depression but 

I just handle it a much different 

way instead of drugs,” Mr Holt 

said. 

Regaining the love for art was 

one of the different ways that 

helped Mr Holt recover from his 

addictions. 

But first, he had to be honest 

with himself and the world. 

“I was under-achieving and I 

wasn’t happy with that so one day 

I woke up and decided to be honest 

and do something to change 

my lifestyle. 

“So I went to Queen Mary 

Hospital in Hanmer and went 

through the treatment programme.” 

Mr Holt is in his 19th year of 

being sober. 

Art was a therapeutic way to 

recover due to the time it takes to 

paint, he said. 

“When someone gives up a 

lifetime of addiction there is a 

massive hole that’s there. 

“If you think about it, if you’re 

an alcoholic, it takes half an hour 

to buy your drinks. You drink 

for four to five hours and you’re 

hungover for three or four more 

hours.” 

Painting a mural often took 

about 40 hours across multiple 

days and that helped fill the void 

left by drugs, Mr Holt said. 

“Three of four sessions of 

alcohol or drug abuse equals one 

mural. 

“The drug abuse cost a lot of 

money with nothing to show for 

it, and the murals cost far less 

and is there for perpetuity,” Mr 

Holt said. 

He is now on “default mode” 

on staying clean. 

“It’s a habit to stay away from 

drugs, and I don’t think about my 

addiction,” Mr Holt said. 

He now helps others recover 

from addictions at the non-profit 

group Mental Health Advocacy 

and Peer Support. 

“I thought it was time to hand 

something back as I’ve obviously 

got personal experience in 

addiction and recovery.”

of art recognised 

Art is one thing he recommends 

to people going through 

addictions but he says there are 

other ways. 

“It works for me, but what I 

generally do with my clientele 

is take them back to before they 

were on drugs and find out what 

their interests were between the 

ages of 10 and 15. 

“For me between the ages 10 

and 15, I loved sketching. Art 

and English Football were my 

passions and I often sketched 

English football players,” Mr Holt 

said. 

He often drew sketches of his 

favourite player, Leeds United 

goalkeeper David Harvey, as he 

had the same initials as Mr Holt. 

Hobbies that people had when 

they were younger can help fill 

the void left by drugs, he said. 

Mr Holt made his art 

hobby public when he started the 

Brockworth Art Gallery in 2012. 

The gallery is along the train 

tracks behind Brockworth Pl, 

Riccarton. 

Mr Holt never had an interest 

in street art until then. 

International street artist 

Banksy that inspired him to start 

the street art. 

“I watched Banksy’s film 

Exit Through the Giftshop and I 

became really interested in street 

art. 

“But I didn’t want to cross the 

police lines and get into trouble 

for illicit art,” Mr Holt said. 

He met Kenyan artist Jess De 

Boer who was living in the city at 

the time. 

“Jess and I got permission to 

paint the wall of Margaret Stoddart 

[Retirement Village] but she 

had to go back to Kenya immediately 

after we got permission. 

“She gave me all the paint that 

she had gathered and because 

I lived in [Riccarton], I started 

painting in 2012 with about 

five or six paintings,” Mr Holt 

said. 

When more vines on the walls 

along the railway walkway were 

removed, he had more canvas to 

paint on. 

Mr Holt said his street art has a 

point of difference. 

“I paint with paintbrushes, not 

spray. 

“My second point of difference 

is I wanted to set up street art 

in the layout of an art gallery so 

that for people that walk through 

there it’s like an art gallery,” he 

said. 

Mr Holt felt a lot of pride in 

looking at his work but says they 

are not there to show off his 

talents. 

“It’s simply there to colour up 

the morning, evenings or days of 

whoever that’s walking there. 

“It’s just there to distract people 

from the mundane walk of life,” 

he said. 

Mr Holt doesn’t have any plans 

for any future public murals and 

likes the way it is. His last painting 

was in March. 

“I quite like having my own 

little spot and I like it that it’s 

tucked away and you kind of

in 2012 and the 

last mural was

March 

have to look for it,” he said. 

But art will always remain a 

hobby for him at home. 

Mr Holt had also had some 

advice for people going through 

substance abuse. 

“Recovery can be achieved, two 

things that are key to a recovery 

is acceptance that you’ve got a 

problem and personal honesty 

around everything that you do 

in life. 

“Hang in there, it does get 

better. Sometimes people find it 

really hard to break a habit, but 

once you break the habit it gets 

better,” Mr Holt said.

Monk ‘shocked’ by quarry plan 

Local 


Now 

In Brief 


• By Emily O’Connell 

A PLACE for peaceful 

meditation. 

That’s what the Sri Lankanbased 

Buddhist temple, Samadhi 

Buddhist Vihara, was looking 

for when it decided to move from 

its Hornby location last year. 

Springs Rd proved too noisy 

for the temple so it decided 

to purchase 4ha of land on 

Maddisons Rd in Rolleston, 

through donations it had 

collected. 

What the temple didn’t realise 

was months after making the 

move, Fulton Hogan would 

reveal its plan to create a quarry 

on a 170ha piece of land at 

Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and 

Maddisons Rds, opposite its 

temple. 

Temple resident monk 

Makuludeniye Somarathana 

said he was “shocked” and 

“disappointed” by the news and 

he’s concerned the quarry could 

disturb its peace and quiet. 

“Finally we decided this place 

was suitable for the meditation 

centre . . . we were totally 

disappointed and our hope was 

destroyed,” Bhante Somarathana 

said. 

He’s worried about the potential 

noise, dust, pollution, 

increase in truck movements and 

loss of money after developing 

the land. 

But Bhante Somarathana says 

there’s not much it can do – he’s 

already been in touch with the 

Templeton Residents’ Association, 

attended its public meetings 

and has gone along to workshops 

on how to write a submission on 

the proposal. 

And now he’s waiting for Fulton 

Hogan to lodge its resource 

consent application before he 

can make a submission against 

it. 

Fulton Hogan was expected to 

lodge its application last month. 

But South Island general manager 

Craig Stewart told Western 

News on Thursday it expects to 

lodge its resource consent application 

in early November. 

When asked about the delay, 

Mr Stewart said Fulton Hogan is 

wishing to ensure it has consulted 

widely with the community 

and gathered all the necessary 

expert information before it 

lodges its application. 

“Fulton Hogan has at the 

forefront of our minds the importance 

of working very hard to try 

and minimise any impact on surrounding 

neighbours,” he said. 

DISAPPOINTED: 

Resident monk 

Makuludeniye 

Somarathana 

standing in front 

of the proposed 

170ha quarry, 

opposite his new 

temple. 

Residents’ association chairman 

Garry Kilday said he wasn’t 

surprised Fulton Hogan was 

waiting until early November 

and he suspects it may even take 

longer. 

He believes the temple’s “fears 

are founded” and it’s just a 

“waiting game” until the application 

is lodged. 

Mr Stewart said a 

community advisory group 

was established in May and 

through it Fulton Hogan has 

been meeting regularly with 

neighbours, residents and 

business owners. 

YOUTH FUNDING 

Halswell footballers, Daniel 

Metherell and Reuben Harrison

St Bede’s students 

run for cancer cause 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

LAST WEEK about 160 St Bede’s 

College students put on their 

trainers and ran in aid of teen 

cancer. 

This was the school’s eighth 

Run For A Life event, in which 

students run across the South 

Island to raise money for 

CanTeen. 

Event organiser Rachel 

Pitcaithly said the run aimed to 

not only raise money for young 

cancer victims, but also raise 

awareness. 

“There’s so many of us that 

have been affected by cancer 

in different ways, shapes and 

forms,” she said. 

“CanTeen have become real 

family members to us. What 

is great is that they look after 

teenagers with cancer, but they 

also look after teenagers who 

might have a sibling or parent 

they’ve lost to cancer – and 

unfortunately that’s a few of our 

boys.” 

Run For A Life involved 

groups of students running 

about 5km at a time in 

relay-style, with each student 

covering about 25km a day 

READY, SET, GO: About 160 St Bede’s College students started 

a journey across the South Island on Wednesday in a bid to 

raise money for CanTeen. 

for five days. 

“The idea was to do something 

really hard to give us a look 

into what it must be like having 

cancer as part of your everyday 

life.” 

The school had raised 

more than $80,000 by the 

time the run kicked off on

Resolving community board 

disputes costs ratepayers 

•From page 1 

Riccarton Ward board 

member Catherine Chu did 

not elaborate on the nature 

of the sessions but said it 

was good for the board to 

acknowledge that they had 

differences. 

“We’re all there for the same 

purpose, which is to represent 

our community. We’ve got 

different views on how we 

execute that, and that’s a 

reason why we’re a board of 

nine people. 

“It’s difficult to do that 

efficiently and as effectively 

as possible if there are 

disputes. So it’s good that we 

acknowledged we had some 

problems,” Ms Chu said. 

She said the board is now 

much stronger together and 

the disputes are in the past. 

“I think the meetings have 

been run very effectively 

by Mike Mora and Helen 

Broughton as the deputy,” Ms 

Chu said. 

Another cause of 

disagreement last month, has 

now been resolved, Mr Mora 

said. 

There were disagreements 

within the board over whether 

Mr Mora should make a 

deputation on behalf of the 

WESTERN NEWS 


board to city councillors 

about $70,000 being 

granted to KartSport 

Canterbury. 

Mr Mora said board 

members agreed to him 

deputising for them, but 

he chose not to as he was 

confident of the outcome. 

The $70,000 to help the 

Halswell-based kart club move 

to McLeans Island was granted 

as he’d hoped on Thursday. 

Board members also met 

with Dr Edwards and head 

of community support, 

governance and partnerships 

John Filsell. 

Dr Edwards said it was a 

planned, informal information 

sharing visit which she has 

with all boards every year. 

“I have visited community 

boards to update them on 

key work under way including 

the council’s strategic 

priorities, the initiation of the 

annual 

plan process, the residents’ 

survey. 

“And, given that the code 

of conduct was established 

at the beginning of their 

term and it is now midway 

through, to get some feedback 

on how it is working [and it’s] 

relevance etc.”

Mike ready to slide off to L.A 


ST JOHN of God care facility 

resident Mike L.A hopes a new 

waterslide will take him all the 

way to Los Angeles. 

Mr L.A, which is his real 

name, is excited about the 80m 

waterslide at the Halswell care 

home, where he resides. 

He changed his surname 

from Bruce to L.A by deed 

poll two years ago due to his 

love for the United States city, 

where he has been five times. 

The waterslide was inspired 

by St John of God’s smaller 

20m waterslide last summer, 

which was only open for 

residents. 

“I went airborne last time. 

This time it might take me to 

LAX [airport],” Mr L.A said. 

But he said his backside may 

be a bit sore once he lands. 

St John of God is a care 

facility for people with 

physical and neurological 

disabilities. 

Mr L.A moved into the 

facility after suffering a heart 

attack, which left him with 

physical disabilities. 

St John of God Trust 

acting national manager for 

fundraising and marketing 

Nigel Matthews is aiming 

SLIDING: St John of God resident Mike L.A on the site for 

the waterslide with St John of God acting national manager 

for fundraising and marketing Nigel Matthews. 

to open the waterslide by 

Christmas. 

The project started in July 

and will cost about $9000, 

which will all be covered by 

donations. 

St John of God plans to 

invite schools in the area to 

use the slide. 

“Being able to invite them 

in gives the benefit to not only 

the community but also to our 

residents to see the fun that 

others are having with it. 

“Then we’ll also have our 

own opportunity to be able to 

put residents on the slide and 

let them experience things you 

and I take for granted,” Mr 

Matthews said. 

St John of God also wants 

other disability care providers 

to utilise the waterslide for 

events or fundraisers. 

Construction company 

HEB donated digger services 

to carve soil out for the 

slide. 

“So it’s created a downhill 

ramp which we we’re going 

to continue on to an 80m 

slide out the back of our care 

facility. 

“We’re currently talking to 

Fulton Hogan to help us with 

the safety netting to make sure 

there’s a non-slip walkway 

to the top of the ramp,” Mr 


The slide itself would either 

be made from black polythene 

or a purpose-built inflatable 

slide. 

“It [inflatable slide] would 

be the ideal end goal as it will 

allow us to be able to install it 

quickly.” 

The trust is yet to decide 

what material the slide will 

be made from, but that is 

not what’s important, Mr 


“We want to make sure the 

community can come in and 

interact with residents.” 

The waterslide won’t be 

permanent, but St John of God 

is yet to decide how long it will 

run for.

Good progress on Hornby’s 

community mega-centre 

Halswell- 

Hornby- 

Riccarton 

Community 

Board 

member 

Debbie 

Mora writes 

about the future of the 

community mega-centre in 

Hornby 

WELL, ITS fantastic that we 

are now making progress 

with drilling commencing at 

Kyle Park this week to make 

investigations to see if this could 

be a possible and viable site 

moving forward. 

I had requested deferral of 

making a decision for a couple 

of weeks pending on site further 

engineering on Kyle Park back 

at our extraordinary meeting on 

August 12, 2017 (minuted), this 

was seconded, put to the meeting 

and lost. 

However, it is great to now see 

progress in that direction after 

our board deciding it would be 

helpful after the reclassification 

of Denton Park was not 

desired by a large part of the 

Hornby community, 84 per 

cent of submissions against the 

reclassification, and the hearings 

panel upon listening to all the 

concerns from the submitters. 

The hearings panels 

recommendation to our 

Community Board was to not 

reclassify the Denton Park 

Recreation Reserve. 

I understand that it can be 

frustrating waiting for our 

desired South West Leisure 

centre, but it is important to get 

this project right and acquire all 

the details and data, as we don’t 

want problems to occur after any 

decision-making. 

I believe it is helpful to 

foresee any issues and discuss 

them, to future-proof the 

facility’s placement and ensure 

accessibility and parking is of 

ease for everyone. 

TESTS: Drilling at Kyle Park, the city council is investigating the 

park’s suitability for a community mega-centre. 

I have learned as an elected 

member representing the 

Halswell Hornby Riccarton 

Community Board just how 

passionate a large part of the 

Hornby community felt about 

their green space that was 

donated to the community by 

Stanley Denton. 

This was donated for “outdoor 

recreation” with a status as 

a recreation reserve, used 

largely by sporting groups, 

leisure activities and the local 

community at large. 

I have valued supporting this 

process and the community 

through all the stages of this 

process, learning the value that 

the Hornby community has 

with Denton Park and listening 

to all that contacted me with 

their concerns, for example 

traffic concerns, sports clubs, 

community use, parking and 

gifting of the park. 

It was emphasised in an 

article on September 14, by 

reporter Ashleigh Monk, 

regarding a statement by former 

Mayor Garry Moore “elected 

representatives needed to ensure 

their decisions were supported by 

residents.” I concur with this. 

I believe we are making 

positive headway, steady is the 

progress, and I trust the wait will 

be worthwhile for all. 

All the above is my personal 

opinion from my experience 

gained while listening to the 

concerns of residents and 

sporting groups in the Hornby 

community and being part of 

this process as a current Halswell 

Hornby Riccarton Community 

Board member.

A REVEREND has been 

formally recognised for his role 

in helping establish the South 

Island’s first Pan-Pasifika Early 

Childhood Centre in Hornby. 

Ara Institute of Canterbury 

student and Pasifika community 

relations adviser Reverend 

Fitifiti Luatua was recognised 

by early-childcare provider Barnardos 

on September 14. 

Barnardos runs the childhood 

centre on Waterloo Rd. 

The Ministry of Education 

appointed Rev Luatua to the 

Pasifika Advisory Group of the 

childhood centre in 2015. 

He was given the role for his 

engagement with the Pasifika 

community through his 18 years 

of church ministry and his work 

with the Ara Pasifika Trades 

programme at Woolston and 

other programmes at Ara. 

As part of community engagement, 

Luatua brought Ara civil 

skills students to construct landscaping 

and sandpits – which 

added much needed beauty, 

benefited the centre and gave 

students real world experience. 

The efforts and the contribution 

of the students was very 

much appreciated by the community, 

parents, teachers and 

children. 

Working in tertiary education, 

Rev Luatua recognises that the 

path to success starts early in life. 

“Yes even from early child-

hood if they have that engagement 

with tertiary they can see 

it is a pathway into the future. 

“Early childhood I would call 

the most difficult area, however 

if you build a good foundation 

of learning for our children right 

from early childhood then they 

will progress well into the other 

levels,” Rev Luatua said. 

Building started in April 2016 

and the centre was opened on 

March 2017, run by Barnardos 

and licensed for 47 children, 10 

of which are up to two-year-olds.

THERE’S A history behind 

Lyndon McKendry’s 

referee whistle. 

It was originally her 

father’s. He started 

refereeing in 1958 

before passing 

down the little 

silver device to 

McKendry. It has 

now been in action 

for about 60 

years. 

McKendry is the 

Canterbury Rugby 

Football Union’s 

referee education 

officer. 

Like her, she 

says women who grew 

up watching their fathers 

control rugby games often 

pursued a refereeing career. 

In spite of this, in the 

Canterbury region there 

are only four female referees 

out of a total 200. 

As the referee education 

officer at the Canterbury 

Rugby Football Union, 

McKendry’s responsibilities 

include recruitment 

training and development 

for all referees from Cheviot 

through to Dunsandel. 

She says the CRFU 

would love to see more females 

picking up a whistle. 

“Rugby is a game for everyone

To increase female 

involvement next year, 

the CRFU plans to target 

women who have played 

this year, as well as former 

players. 

It will also 

emphasise the 

introductory 

referee 

programme You 

Make The Call, 

which offers 

participants 

eight level three 

NCEA credits 

in Christchurch 

schools, 

particularly girlsonly 

schools. 

McKendry says there 

were many reasons why 

men and women chose not 

to referee, such as work 

and family commitments 

or feeling like they didn’t 

know enough about the 

game. 

Koini Buli, one of the 

four female referees in 

Canterbury, said being 

a referee was tough. She 

still gets nervous before a 

match, especially “if it’s going 

to be a hell of a game.” 

She says many people 

didn’t understand that a 

referee was actually an 

athlete. Buli trains two to 

three times a week with 

a mixture of cardio and 

least one apparatus. 

Cole also helps his 

brother to coach junior 

gymnasts. 

Encouraging women 

to become rugby refs 

weight sessions. 

“It’s a full-time job. 

You’ve got to train right, 

eat right, and prepare 

yourself mentally and 

strategically.” 

Buli has been hassled 

by players and spectators 

as a referee but said this 

was part and parcel of 

the game, regardless of 

whether the referee was 

male or female. 

“They don’t expect you 

to know anything. A lot of 

the time it comes down to 

their age rather than their 

gender,” said Buli. 

As a referee, Buli has 

travelled the world, 

including to Russia for the 

women’s sevens World Cup 

in 2013. 

She would love to 

referee test rugby one 

day and aspires to take the 

field alongside the Black 

Ferns with her whistle 

in hand. “If you can’t get 

into the provincial rugby 

teams, you can make it as a 

referee. It’s not any less of a 

position to be in.” 

With the likes of former 

Black Fern Rebecca 

Mahoney now refereeing 

the men’s Mitre 10 Cup, 

there might soon come a 

day when we see a female 

refereeing in the rugby 

World Cup.

The tree of LIFE 

New research on Gingko 

Biloba excites researchers! 

Nutritional researchers 

have discovered a range of 

nutrients that are essential 

for eye health. Some 

of the most essential 

nutrients that have been 

shown to protect and even 

improve eye function are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral 

that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in 

many of our foods. Researchers believe 

selenium may help prevent cataracts, 

macular degeneration (the leading cause 

of impaired vision in older people) and 

may also improve dry eyes and general 

eye health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage 

of the population are low in. Zinc has 

been shown to help protect the eyes 

from the damaging effects of light as 

well as slow vision loss due to macular 

degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper 

have potent antioxidant ability and help 

protect the eyes from damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing 

nutrients that have been shown in 

landmark research to not only provide 

potent eye protection but may even help 

reverse some of the signs of age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in 

potent antioxidants may help protect 

the lens and retina from damage and 

reduce the risk of cataracts. They also may 

help improve blood supply to the eye,

strengthen the small capillaries of 

the eye and may help improve 

night vision, may alleviate 

many eye ailments 

including eye fatigue 

that may be caused 

by reading, driving and 

computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye 

pressure and reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential 

for correct eye function. It may also have a 

detoxifying affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye 

fatigue, bloodshot eyes and maintain good 

vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. 

It provides many nutrients, is rich in 

oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) 

that are potent antioxidants that may 

protect eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic 

amount help provide comprehensive eye 

protection, may slow and possibly even 

help reverse eye damage that could lead 

to loss of vision. All these nutrients are 

available in an economical one a day easy

BOOST BRAIN 

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30% 

TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets 

being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60 

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent 

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30 

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance. 

Studies on TEBONIN Show: 

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement 

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall. 

- Reduces errors made & mental stress. 

- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore 

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke. 

- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal 

balance. 

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body. 

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels. 

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light. 

For decades scientists believed brain 

damage with age, after a stroke or injury 

was irreversible and brain neurons could 

not be repaired. In more recent times, 

new research has shown that neurons 

can grow back with the right conditions 

and that a special extract of Gingko 

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has 

been clinically found to assist in this. 

The implications for stroke recovery are 

obvious, but researchers also know many 

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes” 

that over a period of time slowly 

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN 

is prescribed worldwide as a natural 

supportive agent for a healthy brain and 

cognitive function. It supports healthy 

mental performance, concentration, focus, 

alertness, motor function and to help 

with many conditions including tinnitus 

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo 

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves 

micro-circulation and helps the blood 

flow reach those critical places it needs to 

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes 

the red blood cells more pliable and 

capillary walls more flexible. 

TEBONIN is one of the most widely 

studied and researched herbal products in 

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba 

extract manufactured via a patented 

multi-step extraction process. Each small 

tablet contains a highly concentrated

debut in Adelaide 

• By Jacob Page 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

track cyclist Erin Downie 

gets by with a little help 

from her friends and 

family. 

The 16-year-old, 

who lives in Avonhead, 

has been named in the 

New Zealand track cycling 

team for the first time. 

She will compete at the 

Oceania track cycling 

championships in Adelaide 

from October 11-13. 

Erin competes in both 

road and track cycling 

events, and started her 

competitive journey on 

a $300 road bike that 

her mum Lee purchased 

second-hand. 

As she grew to love 

track cycling, her dad 

Chris found a bike frame 

and built the bike she still 

uses today with bits and 

pieces he found on auction 

sites. 

“I wouldn’t be in this 

position without my 

parents,” she said. 

“A lot of my time is 

taken up with training so a 

lot of the financial burden 

falls on them.” 

Erin is a former 

Canterbury age-group 

Erin Downie 

middle distance runner, 

cross-country athlete and 

footballer, but now her 

time is spent solely on the 

bike seat. 

“I tried to do all of them 

when I first started as an 

11-year-old but, as my 

love of cycling grew, I gave 

them up,” she said. 

“People used to look at 

my bike and do a doubletake 

because it’s not a big 

brand bike obviously. The 

whole Canterbury track 

cycling community has 

been so helpful in getting 

me here. 

“I’ve had to borrow a 

lot of different gear and 

everyone has been really 

accommodating.” 

Erin said with Hornby’s 

Denton Park velodrome 

being outdoors and “quite 

shaded”, it often meant she 

was unable to train on it 

during winter because it 

was too wet. 

With the best track 

options being in 

Invercargill or Cambridge, 

she has done a lot of her 

preparation on the road, 

or in her garage on a 

stationary bike. 

“I think I’ve done quite 

well to make the team 

considering the best 

option to train is eight 

hours away,” she said. 

Erin doesn’t know what 

events she will compete 

in, but is hopeful she will 

get a chance to race in 

the under-19 individual 

pursuit. 

“That will be a good 

level for me to test where 

I’m at and, if I could get 

a personal best, that’d be 

great.” 

Erin said she still 

had ambitions to ride 

internationally on both 

the track and road and did 

not want to commit to one 

discipline just yet.

Yoga and

continuing EducAtion 

FREE digital media course, 

with NCEA built in 

For those looking for a role that combines 

artistic and digital talents, then this 

outstanding, FREE, entry level course has 

just been announced by local Training 

Provider Trainme, for those wishing 

to pursue animation, graphic design, 

photography or digital media as a career. 

The course covers introduction to 

multi-media techniques such as video 

production, drawing, animation and 

photography. Students will create their own 

design concepts and collaborate with other 

students on creative projects. 

This course is FREE to students aged 16 

to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1 

to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be 

admitted, if they show artistic or digital 

aptitude. 

“Many feel that school is not working for 

them or they left without qualifications,” 

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary 

educator Trainme. “While not 

necessarily academically minded, 

they do have artistic talents 

and are very much into digital 

technology.” 

“This FREE six-month Trainme 

course, combines these in a very 

hands-on, practical way, giving 

them an intro into various digital 

media. This way, they can decide 

which direction to pursue as their 

career focus.” 

“As an NZQA approved 

programme, NCEA credits are 

built in, so if they apply themselves, 

they can graduate with a New Zealand 

Certificate in Arts and Design Level 2, as 

well as gaining credits towards NCEA level 

1 or 2.” Says Pollard. 

“NCEA results will depend on how many 

credits they bring to the course to start 

with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel 

like school at all.” 

Successful Graduates from this 

programme could pathway into higher study 

in media arts, which could include graphic 

design, video production, photography or 

one of the many emerging digital-based 

careers. Places are limited, so students are 

encouraged to apply as soon as they can. 

Enrolments are Now Open, for 

February 2019. Contact Trainme at their 

Addington campus for more information

JOHANNES Moser returns to 

the NZSO to play 

Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto 

No. 1, following his 2016 

performances of the Lalo Cello 

Concerto. 

e German-Canadian 

cellist has performed with the 

world’s leading orchestras with 

conductors of the highest level. 

He performs at the Air Force 

Museum in Christchurch on 

Wednesday 10th October, 7pm. 

For conductor Peter 

Oundjian’s debut with the 

NZSO, he will guide the 

orchestra through this rich and 

varied programme featuring 

Russian composers. 

Prokoev’s score to Romeo 

and Juliet features some of the 

Johannes Moser 

Peter Oundjian 

most intense music written. In this 

selection from the Ballet, the musical 

narrative clearly depicts the unseen drama 

and so stands by itself on the concert stage. 

Tickets on sale now at Ticketek.
