ST BEDE’S College’s Casper
McCormick (above) claimed
the under-18 longboard title for
a second year running to help
Canterbury create history by
winning the national scholastic
surfing championships in
Gisborne.
It was the first time Canterbury
or a South Island team had
won the event which celebrated
its 30th year.
McCormick defended his title
with a stylish approach netting
him a 13.2 point total well clear
of his opponents Joel McMullen
(Auckland), Ben Counsell
(Auckland) and Billy Whelan
(Northland) who finished second
through fourth respectively.

switched several times
throughout the final day as
surfers were eliminated from the
event.
McCormick’s performance
helped Canterbury take a solid
lead that they never let go.
Shirley Boys’ High’s Myka
Black claimed the Adam Clegg
breakthrough performance
award which came on the back
of form throughout the event
until he came unstuck in the
semi-finals finishing fifth overall
in the under-16 division.

THE PAPANUI-INNES Community
Board needs to come clean and tell the
public what’s going on inside their board.
We report on page 1 today how an independent
facilitator – that’s a fancy term
for a referee – needed to be called into help
resolve problems within the board.
The board, chaired by public relations consultant Ali Jones, is
refusing to say what the specific issues are.
But clearly there’s a clash between outspoken board member
John Stringer and Jones. We hear board members don’t
like Stringer talking to the media – particularly about the
controversial Main North Rd bus lane issue.
So I’m going to give the board some good PR advice: Tell your
constituents what’s going on.
There’s an election next year.

Battle against buses on quiet streets
• By Ashleigh Monk
MAIREHAU RESIDENTS are
waiting to hear whether buses
will be re-routed through their
quiet streets.
Environment Canterbury
received 133 submissions on a
proposal that would see No 44
bus redirected to and from Innes
Rd via Philpotts Rd, Glenfield
Cres, Roslyn Ave, Croziers Rd,
Ranger St and Nancy Ave.
The project would coincide
with the Northern Corridor
opening, which would stop right
turns by the Orbiter bus in and
out of the QE II Dr end of Philpotts
Rd.
ECan is in the process of
reviewing the submissions
before they could report back to
submitters.
The proposed re-route came
after a group of 80 retirees
presented a petition to ECan
pleading with it to reconsider
route changes to the Orbiter
which would see the nearest bus
stop be moved almost 1km away
from the Diana Isaac Retirement
Village.
Nancy Ave resident Resch
Fowler said she hoped a “middle
ground” could be established
as the buses would disrupt the
“quiet” side streets.
WAITING GAME: Mairehau residents are waiting to hear back from Environment Canterbury
about a proposed bus re-route that could send buses down their quiet streets.
“There was a whole range of
options put forward by
the community, including
turning bays on Philpotts Rd,”
she said.
“The ideal outcome would
be the turning bay because
that enables residents at the
retirement village to still have
access to that bus. It’s certainly
not about taking away that
service from others in the
community who need it, but
finding something that works for
everyone.”
She said she had attended
neighbourhood meetings with
residents of the retirement village
to discuss the issue.
“I think for the retirement
OPTION ONE
home they would like the Orbiter
to remain, but obviously that’s
not going to happen. But I
understand that two or three
blocks is a long way to travel for
them to get to a bus stop, so I
really think the turning bay and
shifting the stops will help them
without having a big impact on
us.”

PARKING RESTRICTIONS
The Papanui-Innes
Community Board approved
parking restrictions on a street
outside Mairehau Primary
School. Representatives of the
school recently approached
city council with the request
to look into the congestion
issues being experienced on
Mahars Rd during school
drop-off and pick-up times.
The proposal would see six
parking spaces on Mahars Rd
removed, and signs indicating
a time limit of 3min between
the hours of 8.15am to 9.15am
and 2.30pm to 3.30pm on
school days.
CLARIFICATION
The Nor’West News incorrectly
reported in an article last
week that resource consent for
a Pak’nSave in Papanui had
been granted. The resource
consent is still being processed
by the city council. The
supermarket and adjoining
fuel pumps would be built
on Main North Rd, near the
intersection of Main North

supermarket would also be
used as an emergency hub
with facilities to cater for

•From page 1
Mr Stringer has been outspoken
about decisions made by
the board over the Main North
Rd bus priority project.
Ms Jones’ comment
prompted an angry response
from Mr Stringer, who claimed
confidentiality had been
breached.
“We all strictly agreed
together as colleagues there
would be no comment about
the meeting or what was said,”
he said.
“I’m disappointed my
chairwoman appears to have
breached that commitment we
all made.”
Mr Stringer did not return

Friday about the presence of an
independent facilitator at the
September 24 meeting.
Said Ms Jones on Friday: “It
was agreed upon by everyone
at that meeting that it would be
held in confidence.
“There’s a lot at play here,
and I don’t like playing games.
Some people do, but I’m not
going to buy into that until this

Sore Feet and Kid Athletes
Pushing ourselves to be our best during
practice and our chosen sporting event makes
for some very sore feet. Sever’s disease is a
common heel injury that occurs in kids as a
result of physical activity.
The heels of their feet will most likely
become painful and they will experience pain,
however Sever’s disease is a temporary ailment
with no long-term effects. Papanui Foot Clinic
to the rescue.
The Papanui Foot Clinic are experts in
assisting your child with the resources for a
quick and long-term recovery.
Sever’s disease, known as calcaneal
apophysitis, is a painful bone disorder which
is the result of inflammation or the swelling of
the growth plate in a child’s heel. It is the most
common cause of heel pain in growing children,
especially those who are physically active.
Such stress commonly results from physical
activities, specifically sports that involve
running and jumping. Especially those that
take place on hard surfaces, such as track,
basketball, soccer, and gymnastics.
Poor-fitting shoes can contribute to the
condition by not providing enough support or
padding for the feet or by rubbing against the
back of the heel.
It usually occurs during the growth spurt of
adolescence, any time between the ages of 8
and 13 for both boys and girls.
The most obvious sign of Sever’s disease
is pain or tenderness in one or both heels,
usually at the back. The pain also might
extend to the sides and bottom of the heel,
ending near the arch of the foot.
Ian Graham is a well known expert in this
field and The Papanui Foot Clinic is your first
call for relief.

St Albans residents feel their
Residents in St Albans
are worried that the
suburb is disappearing
and being taken over
by Edgeware and
Mairehau. Ashleigh
Monk reports
ST ALBANS residents feel their
identity is disappearing.
Due to the introduction of
post codes and business naming
changes, the suburb is being
taken over by others such as
Edgeware and Mairehau – and
residents want it to stop.
St Albans Residents’
Association co-chairwoman
Emma Twaddell said the
suburb’s identity started slipping
away in 2006 after New Zealand
Post brought in post codes.
“They made up the names
of the post codes without any
involvement from people . . . the
numbers don’t line up at all. Half
of St Albans is called Mairehau
and the heart of St Albans,
Edgeware Village, is now called
Edgeware,” she said.
“It’s just due to the fact that
corporates are lazy and have got
no respect for communities.”
She said it was important for
people living in the area to feel
like part of the community, but it
was hard when the lines between
suburbs were blurred.
“It seems like it’s not a big
issue, but if you understand
community development, then
you understand the issues that
these things cause for people,
because they don’t attach
themselves to an area.”
Ms Twaddell said she had
approached NZ Post about
the issue, but was told it was a
matter for the city council.
“It’s really about the city
council working with NZ Post
and Land Information New
Zealand to get rid of the post
code names. That’s all they have

to do and it will be solved,” she
said.
“I just think that this is where
the authorities let themselves
down, they’re not respecting
the people of the city that
they’re actually supposed to be
looking after. They don’t think
these things are important, but
for building communities and
building community spirit it has
got huge consequences.”
Ma Baker bakery owner Paul
Garven said he had always
know his shop to be a part of
Edgeware, and even the mailing
address was listed as Edgeware.
“That’s news to me, I’ve
learned something today . . .
I don’t actually think I knew
where the hub of St Albans was,”
he said.
“We’ve only had the business
here for about six years. The
bakery that was here before was
KB’s and that was always just
known as KB’s Edgeware, and
that was since about 30 years
ago.”
St Albans Pharmacy owner
Malcolm Pearce said he thought
there was definitely a “blurring
of lines” between Edgeware and
St Albans.
“I suppose in my mind
Edgeware has always just been a
sub-set of St Albans,” he said.
Four schools also fell within
the zone for St Albans kids –
St Albans School, St Albans
Catholic School, St Francis of
Assisi and Mairehau Primary.
Mairehau Primary principal
John Bangma said he was
not aware St Albans was
‘disappearing’ but he felt the

Fire rages, homes at risk
identity is disappearing
“Over the years I would have
thought it was Mairehau struggling
to retain its independence.
From my observations in my
time there, real estate agents
often list houses in our area as St
Albans or Shirley,” he said.
A NZ Post spokesperson said
post codes were not linked to
suburb boundaries.
“Post code boundaries are
maintained by New Zealand Post
and are used to ensure efficient
sorting of mail,” they said.
“There is no relationship
between an allocated post code
and a suburb name. Post codes
are used by New Zealand Post
for mail delivery purposes and
are not mutually exclusive to a
suburb. One post code can cross
many suburbs.”
A city council spokeswoman
said it did not have any say in
altering suburb names.
Land Information New
Zealand listed St Albans as a
suburb – making it one of the
few suburbs in the city that were
officially gazetted.
“The New Zealand Geographical
Board processed a proposal
in 2010, resulting in this suburb
name becoming official in 2011,”
a LINZ spokeswoman said.
Edgeware Business Association
spokesperson and Fresh-
Choice Edgeware owner Stephen
Anderson said that while the
village was in the “heart of St
Albans”, most people referred to
it as Edgeware.
“Whether it’s deliberate or by
accident, I’m not sure, but I do
think St Albans is disappearing,”
he said.
HUB: Ma
Baker
bakery
owner Paul
Garven said
he had no
idea his
shop was
a part of
St Albans
as his mail
always
had an
Edgeware
post code
attached.
“We have a very unique community
in St Albans. It’s one of
those few suburbs that are left in
Christchurch where we haven’t
got big malls, so it has a nice
feel. I think with the Edgeware
Village atmosphere it gets a bit
blurred.”
He said the plans to upgrade
Cranford St by putting in clearways
and redirecting
traffic would further “destroy”
the area.
“If the plan goes through,
it’s going to split St Albans in
half. It’s basically like putting
what is essentially a motorway
through the middle of St Albans.
It will become a real divide for
us.”
FAST FACTS
•St Albans became a
suburb of Christchurch
in 1903 after being its
own borough since 1881.
•St Albans was named
after resident George
Dickinson’s farm. He had
called his farm St Albans
in memory of his cousin
Harriet Mellon, a British
actress who had become
the Duchess of St Albans
after marrying William
Beauclerk, the ninth Duke
of St Albans.
•The area currently has a
population of 7810.
•The St Albans boundaries
are Mays Rd in the north,
Hills Rd in the east, Bealey
Ave to the south, and
Rossall St to the west.
•Recently a time capsule
was discovered in St
Albans which was buried
under the original library
in 1920. The time capsule
contained copies of
The Press and Lyttelton
Times newspapers, and
a message in an old beer
bottle which detailed the
history of the library and
listed the names of notable
people of the St Albans
area.

THE PHRASE ‘it takes a village

do we ask ourselves ‘what does
it take to create the village that
is needed to raise a child?’ and
‘what is my part in that village?’

agencies and some residents have
all come together to create the
Shirley Village Project because
they believe the answer to those
questions lie within the neighbourhood.
The Shirley Village Project has
a shared vision of Shirley as a
caring, colourful and connected
community where people’s needs
are met.
The organisations realise they
only make up part of what is
needed to create solutions.
Shirley residents’ knowledge
and involvement are also needed
to achieve solutions to the issues
that are important to residents
and organisations.
Together they can develop local
solutions to local problems.

Readers react to a report
of a dangerous pedestrian
crossing on Innes Rd
Andrew Johnson – One of
those 40km/h areas might help,
although I’m constantly amazed
at how many drivers ignore those
flashing signs.
Marianne McKinney
Zonneveld – Here in Australia
drivers stop when they see
pedestrians walking towards
a crossing. Drivers need to be
reeducated and stop this mad
need for speed. It is all a matter
of respect for others. Sadly
lacking.
Readers react to the oak
trees causing trouble for a
Harewood couple
Gary Knight – Surely the issue
of oak trees eroding sunlight
to Harewood residents Graeme
and Diane Barber’s property
is easily rectified devoid of the
necessity for any city council
bureaucracy. The demarcation
criteria of whether the six 16m
oak trees are classified as reserve
or street status can be directed
back to their origin. Originally
planted in the Pasadena Reserve
makes them surely reserve classified
and a council responsibility
for their removal. The proposed
road having never been actioned
further enforces the status thus
relying on the good faith of the
city council to remove the oaks
and allow a return of unimpeded
sunlight to Graeme and Diane in
their urban space.
Readers react to a new
Pak’nSave being proposed
for Papanui
Jan Driscoll – That will be fun
for shoppers, that intersection is
nuts, trying to get in and out of
the supermarket is fraught with
danger and with the bus priority
lanes coming in along the road
oh boy. Think they should have
an ambulance station there too,
quick response for the mayhem.
Just joking, but seriously. I can see
why they want to build there as
the petrol pumps will be a bonus
but ease of access won’t be.
Kaci Lane – Why the hell
are people mad about this? This
is growth, this is a good thing.
This isn’t costing the taxpayer
a cent so the cost of this really
doesn’t matter to any of you.
Christchurch is a growing
city. Christchurch is expanding
big and fast. This is good, not
bad. Why do people always have
to be negative and point out the
bad rather than focusing on the
positive?
Tania Goodman – What a
waste of money, what is wrong
with the Pak’nSave now? You
have Pak’nSave and Countdown
at Northlands two minutes up
the road.
Ashley Crook – Why not a
New World? Papanui already has
a Pak’nSave.
Raelene Candy – Even
though its closer to me it seems
a bit ridiculous with one just up
the road a bit.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Long ride for Redwood cancer survivor
• By Ashleigh Monk
WHEN REDWOOD’S Chris
Jones embarked on a cycling
journey to Auckland he knew it
would be hard – but not as hard
as living with prostate cancer.
The 66-year-old cycled 1500km
from Christchurch to Auckland
to raise money and awareness for
the disease which he has battled
himself.
“I’m one of the fortunate guys
who can get out and ride his bike.
Some men, sadly, are not here,
some others with prostate cancer
find riding a bike too uncomfortable.”
Mr Jones wanted to encourage
men to see the doctor when
something was wrong.
“Sometimes blokes, if I can be
blunt, need to be passing blood
before they actually see a doctor.
They think it’s going to get better
and it doesn’t,” he said.
“A lot of men spend a lot of
time and money on their motor
cars. They think nothing of taking
the car in for a check-up or
warrant of fitness, but they never

Auckland.
take themselves in for a check up
or full medical . . . and the family
would much rather have dad
around than a nice, shiny car in
a garage.”
Through his Facebook page,
Mr Jones honours one man each
day who has died from prostate
cancer.
He said he met with the families
of some of the victims during
his journey.
“It was great to meet all these
people, I made a lot of connections.
They were so supportive of
me, I even had a few young boys
make a sign to welcome me on
one leg of the trip.”
Mr Jones said he aimed to
cover about 100km a day, but
each day brought on a new set of
challenges.
“On the third day, I had a
strong head-wind and rain for
130km. It made the nice days
seem really great,” he said.
“I budgeted on about 100km
a day but, of course, you have to
vary it according to where your
accommodation is and things
like that. The shortest day was
about 35km and the longest day
was 212km.”
Mr Jones almost doubled his
fundraising goal of $5000, raising
more tan $9000 by the time he
finished his trip.

Top young piper follows in father’s footsteps
• By Ashleigh Monk
A YOUNG bagpiper following in
his father’s footsteps has earned
the first ever national young piper
of the year award.
Year 11 St Andrew’s College
student Campbell Wilson was
“stoked” to have won the title,
which he earned after taking
part in the young piper of the
year solo piping competition in
Nelson.
“It still feels petty surreal, I
feel pretty good to have achieved
this,” the 16-year-old said.
“It came about because earlier
in the year there was a young
drummer of the year competition,
and so it was only suitable
to have a Young Piper of the Year
competition as well.”
Along with the title, Campbell
took away $1000 in prize money.
Inspired by his dad Greg’s talent
for the instrument, Campbell
started learning to play the bagpipes
about six years ago.
“My dad plays, and he’s my
teacher as well. He’s a world-class
piper.”
“I’d really love to follow in my
father’s footsteps. He competed in
Scotland quite frequently when
he was in his 20s. I went to Scotland
this year and competed in
the World Pipe Band Championships,
where we got second place.”
Campbell played in the St Andrew’s
College pipe band, which
he had been a part of for about
three years.
“It’s great to be part of an
SCHOOLS
amazing band full of young players
who are the future of piping
in New Zealand.”
Campbell said he had placed in
a few under-21 competitions in
the past and had just been promoted
to the top level of piping in
his age group.
“I was just promoted to A
grade, the premier piping grade,
in July, which was pretty exciting,”
he said.
“I’ve got a competition over
Labour Weekend at St Andrew’s
College, and that will be where
I’m competing at A grade for the
first time. I’m a little bit nervous,
but pretty excited.”
TALENT: Young Piper of the
Year Campbell Wilson playing
his bagpipes at a competition
in Scotland.
WINNER: Campbell Wilson won the first ever Young Piper of the Year award at a competition in
Nelson.
SUCCESS: Cathedral
Grammar has won the
National Junior Theatre
RoboCup Championship.
The boys, Rian, Sam,
Cameron and Conor, who
range from year 4 to year 8
recently competed in the
championships in Dunedin.
The win was a first for
the school’s innovative
and successful Robotics
Club, which encompasses
engineering and IT skills,
and extends across the
school curriculum.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Anxiety and breathing
– are they related?
When good breathing goes bad
Have you experienced any of these
breathing difficulty symptoms?
• Disturbed sleep
• Erratic heartbeats*
• Feeling anxious and uptight
• Upset gut/nausea
• Chest pains*
• Shattered confidence
• Tired all the time
• Achy muscles and joints
• Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out
• Irritability or hypervigilance
• Frequent yawning and sighing
• Breathing discomfort*
• Pins and needles
• Feelings of ‘air hunger’
*Check with your doctor if you experience
these symptoms.
These questions are asked on
the website www.BradCliff.com.
BradCliff was started by North Island
physiotherapists Dinah Bradley and
Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise in
hyperventilation and anxiety treatment.
Their website notes one in 10 people
experience some form of breathing pattern
disorder or chronic over breathing at some
time in their lives, resulting in a range
of disturbing or frightening symptoms
puzzling to you and your doctor.
You feel unwell because of overbreathing,
and overbreathing makes you feel unwell.
A vicious cycle is established, which is a
major stress all by itself. This is experienced
currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje
van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio.
As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast
and in the upper chest when we are in danger
and fight or flight is needed. We know all
about that here, due to the earthquakes.
Normally, once the danger is gone, our
breathing should restore itself within a
couple of days. We would then be using the
diaphragm for our normal nonstressed
breathing. We have been having a hard
time restoring our breathing pattern
here in Canterbury because every time
our body tried to achieve that, the next
aftershock came rolling in. Even though the
aftershocks have significantly diminished,
some people’s fight or flight mode
breathing has become chronic, or habitual,
Ietje says. And, as she points out, using the
wrong muscles for breathing means these
overworked muscles cause headaches, neck
pain and jaw pain.
With fast upper chest breathing, sighing
and yawning, the resulting disturbance
of our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels
can give us the feeling we are not able to
control our own body. One moment you
are feeling fine, next moment your chest
feels tight, you feel out of breath, your
heart beats erratically and you may even
experience dizziness and/or tingling.
Very scary if you do not understand what
is happening. No wonder this causes
anxiety. Not being the boss over our own
body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the
faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on.
The BradCliff physiotherapists have
established a national network of
practitioners that regularly train together
and can help you overcome this problem.
Physical Sense is part of that network.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Centuries old folk
remedy supports
good health!
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health
benefits. It is none other than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.
Since the time of Hippocrates – the
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been
renowned for its curative properties.
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis
reports how he found that Vermonters
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey
had excellent health with many putting in
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even
when well into their eighties. He also noted
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be
remarkable with many patients reporting
almost total relief after taking a course
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar
counteracted calcium deposits and helped
the body control calcium use. He also noted
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and
H around meal time had excellent blood
pressure and circulation. The reason he
found was that protein foods thickened the
blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood
thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly
through the blood vessels and capillaries.
This poor blood flow would reduce cellular
health by limiting nutrients to the cells as
well as waste elimination from the cells.
To prevent cell damage the body naturally
increases blood pressure but this puts
more stress on the blood vessels, organs
and heart. Having ACV and H with meals
will help prevent protein raising the blood
pressure. It also contributes to a feeling
of greater well-being because the thinner
blood circulates quickly and more easily
through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found
regular consumption of CV and H to be
an excellent health tonic with numerous
health attributes.
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all
the goodness of the apple in a form that is
readily accepted by the body. Good health
starts with good digestion and assimilation
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will
stimulate and promote healthy digestion
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good
health. A well-functioning digestive system
helps prevent disease by neutralising any
toxic substances that enter the body.
It is important to note not all ACV is
produced in the traditional way and results
are likely to prove disappointing with these
other vinegars.
Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in
the traditional way. It is double strength so
you can use less.

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable
Skin Rejuvenator
Until Rachel
Hunter’s popular
TV series “TOUR OF
BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was
relatively unknown being
one of the best-kept secrets of
the Pacific Islands. It may however
be the number one natural beauty oil
available as it possesses powerful natural
skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing
properties.
According to ethnobotanist Chris
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low)
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as
it is one of the most effective agents
in promoting the regeneration and
formation of new tissue, thereby
accelerating wound healing and the

LOCATION
95
gasson st
Long-established car light specialists,
Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their
lights from a sparkling new address – just
around the corner from their familiar
Brougham Street site.
Just prior to Christmas, the business
moved from 325 Brougham Street to 95
Gasson St, where they offer a brighter
showroom, easier access for their customers
and plenty of off-street parking.
“We’re all set up in our new premises,”
sales manager Richard Vernimmen says,
“and continuing to provide our customers
with an extensive range of replacement
lights for most Japanese, European and
New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover
most vehicles on the road, and all our lights
are fully checked and in perfect working
order.”
If they don’t have it in stock, they can
source it from one of the other branches in
the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE
is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of
car, truck and commercial parts.
Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair
service for headlights, with their skilled
staff of three having 80 years’ experience
in the automotive trade between them.
They also specialise in light adjuster and
light conversion of American
car lights and their repair
service includes plastic
welding, drying out, and
re-silvering, re-sealing
and lens refurbishment.
Their services can also
be arranged through
your own local garage or
workshop.
So, next time you need
replacement car lights, call
into Braxton Car Lights’ bright new
showroom, 95 Gasson St, phone 0800 225
