Agonising<br />

time for fire<br />

devastated<br />

couple<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A RETIRED couple are reeling<br />

after a devastating fire destroyed<br />

their Halswell home on Labour<br />

Day.<br />

Derek Petch, 75, and his partner<br />

Marie Musson, 84, had lived<br />

together at the Alvaston Dr house<br />

for 12 years. The fire started at<br />

about 4.15pm in the rear unit of<br />

the two-unit section.<br />

Ms Musson was taken to hospital<br />

on the day for precautionary<br />

checks. Speaking the day after the<br />

fire, she could not hold back the<br />

tears.<br />

“It’s just hit me, that’s our home<br />

gone,” Ms Musson said.<br />

Campaign<br />

to clean<br />

up Kyle<br />

Park gets<br />

results<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

HORNBY’S KYLE Park is finally<br />

getting the clean up locals have<br />

been campaigning for.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported on the<br />

overgrown weeds at the park in<br />

September following complaints<br />

from the Christchurch City BMX<br />

Club.<br />

The city council announced last<br />

week it has begun removing the<br />

weeds at the park.<br />

The club’s track manager<br />

Michael Stronach previously<br />

said the weeds at the park were<br />

“disgraceful”, and that it had been<br />

neglected since asbestos fencing<br />

was put up in 2015.<br />

City councillor Vicki Buck<br />

said a maintenance programme<br />

started on Thursday.<br />

The maintenance plan consists<br />

of mowing, fence-line spraying<br />

and weed control. The park will<br />

be mowed twice a month.<br />

Mr Stronach was delighted that<br />

the city council had listened to the<br />

BMX club and Hornby residents.<br />

“It’s always good when you get<br />

a result. It’s good for the community<br />

not just the BMX club,”<br />

he said.<br />

THAT’S A well deserved honour for Jeff<br />

Jeff has been made a life member of the<br />

Canterbury Rugby League for the fantastic<br />

work he has put in for the code over the<br />

decades, both as a player and later a behind the scenes man.<br />

He was part of the great Halswell side of the mid-80s, coached<br />

by the late ‘Herman’ Williams, memorable for two great grandfinals<br />

when the mercurial Phil Bancroft kicked field goals to<br />

snatch victories over arch rivals Hornby in 1985 and 87.<br />

I can still see one of those goals taken from just over 50m, the<br />

ball wobbling its way towards the goalposts, Bancroft raised<br />

arm, fist clenched in a victory salute.<br />

Slower speeds likely for Templeton<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

TEMPLETON residents are a<br />

step closer to getting their wish<br />

of slower speeds in the area.<br />

City council staff have recommended<br />

that 100 km/h roads in<br />

Templeton should be reduced to<br />

80 km/h.<br />

The<br />

Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community<br />

Board<br />

is set to vote<br />

on the staff<br />

Garry Kilday<br />

recommendation<br />

today.<br />

The affected<br />

roads are – Dawsons, Hasketts,<br />

Jones, Kirk, Leggett, Maddisons,<br />

Newtons and Waterloo Rds.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported last<br />

year that Templeton residents<br />

believed the existing 100km/h<br />

speed limits are an “accident<br />

waiting to happen.”<br />

Templeton Residents’ Association<br />

chairman Garry Kilday<br />

welcomed the new recommendation.<br />

“For example on Kirk Rd,<br />

after coming into the 50 km/h<br />

area from the 100km/h area,<br />

people still do 100km/h,” Mr<br />

Kilday said.<br />

Reducing Kirk Rd to 80km/h<br />

would discourage drivers from<br />

speeding through a 50km/h<br />

area, he said.<br />

Some roads are too narrow<br />

for the 100km/h speed limit, Mr<br />

Kilday said.<br />

“Maddisons Rd is not a true<br />

road. It’s a dirt road that’s been<br />

tar sealed.”<br />

A city council report said because<br />

of the speed limit reductions<br />

by Selwyn District Council<br />

earlier this year, the area had a<br />

variation of speed limits, which<br />

may be confusing to motorists.<br />

Some rural roads such as<br />

Newtons Rd, was too narrow,<br />

had no hard shoulders and<br />

no road markings, a 100km/h<br />

speed limit, the report said.<br />

“These speed limit changes are<br />

proposed primarily for safety<br />

and consistency,” the report<br />

stated.<br />

Automobile Association, NZ<br />

Transport Agency, police and<br />

the Selwyn District Council<br />

supported the proposed speed<br />

limit changes.<br />

Installing the new speed<br />

signs across Templeton will<br />

cost $<strong>30</strong>,000, and the funding is<br />

sourced from the city council’s<br />

traffic operations signs and road<br />

marking budget.<br />

Should the changes be approved<br />

by the community<br />

board, it will take about six<br />

weeks to complete.<br />

SLOW: Speed limits of<br />

100km/h on some Templeton<br />

roads could be reduced to<br />

80km/h.<br />

CRASH DATA:<br />

Dawsons Rd: One serious<br />

and three minor/non-injury<br />

ROAD CHANGES LIKELY<br />

The intersection of Annex and<br />

Blenheim Rds in Middleton<br />

may soon have a no U-turn<br />

restriction. A city council staff<br />

recommendation says that there<br />

have been concerns raised by the<br />

public about the safety at the intersection.<br />

A city council report<br />

said when motorists travelling<br />

on Blenheim Rd towards Annex<br />

Rd perform a U-turn, it causes<br />

confusion for left-turning motorists<br />

from Annex Rd. Main South<br />

Rd could also get two no-right<br />

turn and U-turn restrictions.<br />

City council staff recommended<br />

that the restrictions be placed<br />

the road’s two intersections with<br />

Harvard Ave and Green Lane.<br />

The decisions will be voted on by<br />

the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board today.<br />

GUTTED:<br />

A fire<br />

destroyed<br />

two houses<br />

on Alvaston<br />

Drive,<br />

Halswell, on<br />

Labour Day.<br />

Couple reeling after<br />

Halswell house fire<br />

•From page 1<br />

The couple said they received<br />

countless messages of support<br />

and were staying at a relative’s<br />

home.<br />

They only had the clothes on<br />

their backs and a handful of<br />

items firefighters could salvage.<br />

“The firemen were bringing<br />

pictures off the walls and<br />

jewellery all out for us,” Mr Petch<br />

said.<br />

Ms Musson often sat by the<br />

window during the day and saw<br />

many people walk past her house.<br />

“People used to stop everyday<br />

and stop and wave to me. I just<br />

wish people could know that I’m<br />

alright,” Ms Musson said.<br />

Mr Petch said the fire spread in<br />

a matter of minutes after a panel<br />

heater that was against a couch<br />

was accidentally turned on by a<br />

child. The rear unit was occupied<br />

by a young family of five.<br />

When the fire started, Mr<br />

Petch went to the rear unit to<br />

help evacuate a nine-month-old<br />

baby.<br />

At the time, only the couch was<br />

on fire.<br />

“I went to get a hose, and when<br />

I returned, in a minute, it [the<br />

fire] had spread from the couch<br />

to the whole [living] room,” Mr<br />

Petch said.<br />

“In four minutes the whole<br />

place was engulfed,” he said.<br />

The fire spread from the rear<br />

unit into the roof of the front.<br />

The ceiling fell down and most of<br />

their furniture was damaged by<br />

water from the fire hoses.<br />

No one was injured in the fire.<br />

Kyle Park to be cleaned up<br />

•From page 1<br />

However, Mr Stronach was<br />

disappointed he only got the<br />

result after going public.<br />

“It’s been [overgrown] for two<br />

years now so they [city council]<br />

obviously weren’t listening to<br />

people before,” he said. “Maybe<br />

the publicity around the<br />

Denton Park community centre<br />

might have helped. It’s put the<br />

whole area in<br />

the limelight,”<br />

Mr Stronach<br />

said.<br />

But people<br />

shouldn’t have<br />

to go public<br />

to keep basic<br />

Marc Duff<br />

maintenance,<br />

he said. “This<br />

is part of what we pay our rates<br />

for, isn’t it?”<br />

Prior to the maintenance<br />

programme, the BMX club had<br />

to remove the weed to improve<br />

the appearance of the park, Mr<br />

Stronach said.<br />

Greater Hornby Residents’<br />

Association chairman Marc<br />

Duff welcomed the Kyle Park<br />

maintenance programme. “It’s<br />

outstanding news. There has<br />

been concerns about Kyle Park<br />

for quite a while,” he said. “And<br />

it’s good for BMX Club because<br />

they get a lot of visitors from<br />

around the South Island,” Mr<br />

Duff said.<br />

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll<br />

Essentials dog rolls have now rebranded to Hanleys Essential<br />

Dog Roll under owner Philippa Hanleys animal nutrition banner.<br />

Philippa has been making natural horse and dog food for over<br />

10 years and lives locally in Geraldine.<br />

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll are not just amazing meat. Philippas<br />

own amino acids blend from Nz whey protein concentrate<br />

are added along with organic minerals, rice and hemp seed oil<br />

from Canterbury. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed ‘nature’s<br />

most perfectly balanced oil’, due to its 3:1 ratio of Omega 6<br />

to Omega 3, deemed an essential requirement for long-term<br />

healthy nutrition. Brown rice flour and other organic minerals<br />

are also added, making the rolls full of clean protein and good<br />

fats. Hanleys contains 18% protein so next time you are buying<br />

your dog roll compare this figure. More protein means you<br />

need to feed less, so you are receiving far better value for<br />

money. Feed less and save more.<br />

It is not just about what is in the rolls. What is missing is also<br />

crucial. No preservatives or chemicals are added. Many pet<br />

owners probably do not realise how hard preservatives are<br />

on a dog’s kidneys and how much damage they may cause. The<br />

business mottos are: ‘enhance all health’ and ‘health before<br />

money’.<br />

Feed just a portion of normal supermarket rolls due to the<br />

superfood ingredients.<br />

Riccarton High celebrates 60 years<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

RICCARTON HIGH School is<br />

turning 60 tomorrow.<br />

The co-ed school opened on<br />

<strong>October</strong> 31, 1958, with a roll of<br />

142 students.<br />

For the celebration, the school<br />

organised tours for past alumni<br />

on Saturday and a get-together at<br />

Riccarton Racecourse.<br />

Principal Neil Haywood said<br />

there had been a lot of interest in<br />

the celebrations with 260 people<br />

registered for the tour and 2<strong>30</strong><br />

people registered for the supper.<br />

Mr Haywood said celebrating<br />

the school’s birthday is a time to<br />

not only reflect but look to the<br />

future.<br />

“In terms of our school, the<br />

words for the old boys and old<br />

girls of the school is the school is<br />

in good heart and there are some<br />

exciting developments coming to<br />

the school,” he said.<br />

Though no plans have been<br />

confirmed, the school is planning<br />

to replace its older buildings<br />

starting from 2020.<br />

But the school ruled out open<br />

plan classrooms.<br />

The values of the school have<br />

also not been forgotten, Mr Haywood<br />

said.<br />

“What we call the Riccarton<br />

way is still very strong in the<br />

TEAM: Riccarton High School head boy Josh Paul, 17, principal Neil Haywood, head of physical<br />

education Chris Nielson and head girl Apoorva Patelkhana, 17.<br />

value-based system that underpins<br />

everything we do.”<br />

The school’s values are respect,<br />

commitment, excellence and<br />

honesty, he said.<br />

“It’s something we believe<br />

in, something quite genuine<br />

amongst the school community,”<br />

Mr Haywood said.<br />

A strong point for the school<br />

throughout its history has been<br />

it’s multiculturalism, he said.<br />

“To be multicultural is a real<br />

asset to us . . . it brings with it<br />

some challenges, increasing<br />

number of students who need<br />

intensive English support,” Mr<br />

Haywood said.<br />

“But having such a dynamic,<br />

diverse community with more<br />

than 50 ethnicities,” he said.<br />

Survey a bid to help evacuation plan<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

PEOPLE LIVING along<br />

the Brighton coast line who<br />

evacuated the night of the<br />

2016 Kaikoura earthquake are<br />

being called on to take part in a<br />

research project.<br />

Canterbury<br />

University is<br />

aiming to survey<br />

as many residents<br />

as possible to<br />

collect data on<br />

the tsunami<br />

evacuation<br />

Matthew<br />

Hughes<br />

response that took<br />

place following<br />

the magnitude 7.8<br />

earthquake nearly<br />

two years ago.<br />

Matthew Hughes, one of<br />

the academics overseeing the<br />

project, said the survey isn’t<br />

about asking for opinions on<br />

the night of the earthquake, it<br />

is about what residents did in<br />

response to the tsunami hazard.<br />

The survey is part of a wider<br />

research project led by GNS<br />

Science and called Quicker<br />

and Safer Tsunami Evacuation<br />

through Agent-Based Modelling.<br />

The project is looking at<br />

tsunami risks and exposure in<br />

Christchurch and Wellington<br />

Dr Hughes said the data<br />

collected from the survey is<br />

going to be interesting in itself.<br />

“But the really crucial part of<br />

this is going to start informing<br />

sophisticated computer<br />

modelling of population<br />

movements when they evacuate,”<br />

he said.<br />

The models will simulate<br />

people evacuating after a<br />

tsunami warning.<br />

The project involves a<br />

partnership with Civil Defence<br />

Emergency Management, the<br />

city council and Environment<br />

Canterbury. It is planned the<br />

information formed from the<br />

research will be presented in a<br />

series of workshops for affected<br />

coastal communities next year.<br />

It comes after confusion<br />

following the quake, in which<br />

hundreds were stuck in traffic for<br />

more than an hour trying to get<br />

to higher ground.<br />

In the new survey, residents<br />

will be asked how they knew<br />

there was a potential tsunami<br />

hazard, what they did when the<br />

official warning went out, what<br />

their knowledge of tsunami<br />

hazards is, and how it influenced<br />

their behaviour.<br />

It will focus on residents<br />

living in coastal areas in eastern<br />

areas of the city, including New<br />

Brighton and Southshore as well<br />

as the Sumner, Redcliffs and the<br />

wider Banks Peninsula area.<br />

The survey also asks people to<br />

draw the route they drove if they<br />

evacuated.<br />

“We want to map what they<br />

did and try understand how<br />

their prior state of knowledge<br />

influenced that behaviour,” Dr<br />

Hughes said.<br />

He said the evacuation routes<br />

collected from the survey will<br />

go towards developing the<br />

computer model, which will<br />

help Civil Defence and other<br />

agencies help with evacuation<br />

planning.<br />

Anzac Fire Station senior<br />

station officer Shane O’Brien,<br />

who was on duty the night<br />

of the earthquake, said every<br />

fire station in the city has an<br />

emergency plan but the more<br />

information it receives the<br />

better.<br />

Dr Hughes said the aim is for<br />

evacuation paths and evacuation<br />

zones to be further informed<br />

by local knowledge when the<br />

models are developed.<br />

The survey will take place over<br />

the next several months and a<br />

preliminary report will<br />

be completed at the end of the<br />

year.<br />

Eco-Warriors in national final<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

AN OAKLANDS School<br />

team has made it to the final<br />

of a national problem solving<br />

competition.<br />

The team, named Eco-<br />

Warriors, entered the Future<br />

Problem Solving New Zealand<br />

competition in March.<br />

They had to<br />

solve a community<br />

problem<br />

and the<br />

Eco-Warriors<br />

chose to focus<br />

on waste reduction<br />

in the<br />

Caroline<br />

Martin<br />

community.<br />

The team<br />

is made up of<br />

nine pupils aged between nine<br />

and 11 years-old.<br />

Eco-Warriors coach and Oaklands<br />

School deputy principal<br />

Caroline Martin said the idea<br />

was to encourage pupils to take<br />

action in the community.<br />

“We looked at newspaper articles,<br />

including the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

and we just looked at issues in<br />

the community. It was around<br />

that time that supermarkets<br />

were saying they were going to<br />

do away with plastic bags,” Mrs<br />

Martin said.<br />

The team then researched on<br />

FINALISTS: The Eco-Warriors team (from left), Ben Hanson ,10 ,Thomas White, 10, Isis<br />

plastic, what damage it causes to<br />

oceans and landfills.<br />

“The kids decided they would<br />

try to get rid of plastic rubbish<br />

from our school and our community,”<br />

Mrs Martin said.<br />

Regardless of the result, the<br />

team were proud to have made a<br />

difference, she said.<br />

“We cleaned Westlake Park<br />

and are we’re now discussing<br />

putting signs up on the park<br />

explaining the birds in the area,”<br />

Mrs Martin said.<br />

The team also held rubbish<br />

free lunchtimes, sold reusable<br />

bags and held presentations to<br />

educate the community.<br />

The final will be held from<br />

Friday to Sunday in Auckland.<br />

To enter the final the Eco-<br />

Warriors had to put in a submission<br />

highlighting why they<br />

should be in the final.<br />

In the final, the team have to<br />

create a display board, a scrapbook<br />

and an oral presentation<br />

about their projects.<br />

If the team win the<br />

competition they will qualify<br />

to compete in the international<br />

final in Massachusetts, United<br />

States.<br />

Love of Shakespeare gets Ruby to UK<br />

St Margaret’s<br />

student on<br />

stage at Globe<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THE WORK of William<br />

Shakespeare hasn’t always been a<br />

passion for St Margaret’s College<br />

student Ruby Anderson.<br />

But wanting to jump at any<br />

opportunity to perform, she<br />

was drawn into the playwright’s<br />

theatrical work when she<br />

took part in the national<br />

SGCNZ University of Otago<br />

Sheilah Winn Shakespeare<br />

festival last year.<br />

Now Ruby, 17, has been<br />

selected alongside Christchurch<br />

Rudolf Steiner School student<br />

Quinn Kueppers to travel to<br />

London to take part in an<br />

intensive theatre programme<br />

based around the Shakespeare’s<br />

work.<br />

Ruby said since taking part<br />

in the festival, she had fostered<br />

“such a love” for Shakespeare.<br />

In fact when she took part<br />

in it again this year, she was<br />

compelled to direct and perform<br />

a piece from Shakespeare’s<br />

comedy As You Like It alongside<br />

fellow student Emily Stewart.<br />

The work was recognised with<br />

a range of awards in both the<br />

regional and national sections of<br />

ON STAGE: Quinn Kueppers (second from left) and St Margaret’s College student Ruby<br />

the festival. “I think Shakespeare<br />

for young people is dubbed<br />

as non-relevant for people or<br />

maybe not accessible to a young<br />

generation but I think that<br />

stigma is just so wrong,” she said.<br />

She said the way his work has<br />

lasted so long throughout history<br />

is unlike any other author and<br />

it is a testament to his work and<br />

longevity.<br />

Ruby and Quinn will join<br />

24 students from around the<br />

country in the Shakespeare<br />

Globe Centre New Zealand<br />

Young Shakespeare Company.<br />

The students will travel to<br />

London in July.<br />

Quinn said just seeing London<br />

will be amazing, but he is<br />

looking forward to working with<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

the directors and performing at<br />

the Globe Theatre the most.<br />

They were selected from 48<br />

students who took part in the<br />

SGCNZ National Shakespeare<br />

Schools Production at Dunedin<br />

earlier this month.<br />

The 48 students were whittled<br />

down from 5000 who took part<br />

in a series of national SGCNZ<br />

University of Otago Sheilah<br />

Winn Shakespeare festivals.<br />

Ruby said she already has<br />

a good bond with the other<br />

students travelling to London<br />

and is excited to work with them<br />

again. “I am absolutely humbled<br />

I have been selected for such an<br />

opportunity,” she said.<br />

Established in 1991, the<br />

programme has seen 520<br />

students travel to Shakespeare’s<br />

Globe in London. The theatre<br />

is a reconstruction of the Globe<br />

Theatre which was built in 1599<br />

by Shakespeare’s company Lord<br />

Chamberlain’s Men.<br />

The two-week theatrical<br />

programme will see the students<br />

take part in 12 rehearsals with<br />

Globe director Tim Walker<br />

before they perform for the<br />

public.<br />

Ratepayers’ front up for board<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

meeting food<br />

WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT<br />

ON FOOD:<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

COMMUNITY board members<br />

have chomped through just<br />

over $49,000 of biscuits, candy<br />

and savouries since they were<br />

elected.<br />

The biggest spender was<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board.<br />

The nine members have<br />

eaten food to the value of<br />

$10,000.<br />

That is the catering bill<br />

ratepayers have funded for<br />

community board meetings since<br />

the election in 2016.<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board chairman<br />

Mike Mora defended the<br />

expenses.<br />

He said<br />

catering at<br />

meetings is a<br />

“necessity.”<br />

Community<br />

boards meet<br />

every two to<br />

three weeks,<br />

Mike Mora<br />

but take a<br />

recess from<br />

January to December.<br />

“I don’t think it’s right for<br />

people sitting for two or three<br />

hours with hunger pains,” Mr<br />

Mora said.<br />

Mr Mora said the food was<br />

also available to city council staff<br />

members and members of the<br />

public who attended meetings.<br />

“Personally, I think it’s for<br />

the wider benefit of everybody<br />

who attends the meeting to<br />

be able to have a sandwich, a<br />

savoury or a bit of fruit,” Mr<br />

Mora said.<br />

Board deputy chairwoman<br />

Helen<br />

Broughton<br />

was “shocked”<br />

to learn her<br />

board was the<br />

top spender.<br />

She said the<br />

Helen<br />

Broughton<br />

board will<br />

discuss the<br />

food expenses<br />

in two weeks.<br />

“We’re going to have to have<br />

a serious discussion – does it<br />

continue at all or does it continue<br />

at a lesser level?” Ms Broughton<br />

said. “It’s far too much to be<br />

spending,” she said.<br />

Ms Broughton also said the<br />

board never made it clear to<br />

members of the public attending<br />

meetings they could share in<br />

the food. Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood<br />

Community<br />

Board spent<br />

the least on<br />

catering.<br />

The board<br />

only caters<br />

for meetings<br />

Sam<br />

MacDonald<br />

which have a<br />

“substantial”<br />

agenda or if<br />

it is combined with other<br />

boards.<br />

Chairman Sam MacDonald<br />

said the board decided early into<br />

its current term that catering<br />

meetings was not a good use of<br />

ratepayers’ money.<br />

“I think the reality is that in<br />

any workplace, [catering is] not<br />

something that’s readily available<br />

or readily offered.”<br />

Mr MacDonald said the food<br />

that’s usually provided are<br />

biscuits and lollies.<br />

“We were just cognisant of<br />

the fact that in the end, we<br />

represent the community and<br />

are outcomes focused<br />

and we need to be mindful<br />

with ratepayers’ funds,” Mr<br />

MacDonald said.<br />

A variety of caterers are used<br />

by the community boards, and<br />

sometimes the food is purchased<br />

from supermarkets, city council<br />

governance and partnership John<br />

Filsell said.<br />

Southern ChiropraCtiC<br />

3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs)<br />

Chiropractic treatment promotes<br />

wellness and happiness<br />

Southern Chiropractic specialist André<br />

Grob loves nothing more than to help<br />

people.<br />

With 17 years of experience treating<br />

people with a range of spinal problems,<br />

he has a deep understanding of the<br />

value and benefits that his chiropractic<br />

practice can offer clients experiencing<br />

pain.<br />

A high percentage of the patients<br />

André treats suffer from lower back<br />

and neck pain, followed closely by mid<br />

back pain. He says some pain such<br />

as headaches or shoulder pain often<br />

comes from other places, and it’s<br />

about finding and treating the source.<br />

André believes that not only does<br />

chiropractic treatment help relieve pain<br />

but when applied regularly it also helps<br />

promote an overall feeling of wellness<br />

and happiness.<br />

“When clients first come to the clinic,”<br />

says André, “the first thing I do is to<br />

take the time to find out what the<br />

problem is. The aim is to treat the pain<br />

and make them comfortable.” Once<br />

the patient is better, he says it’s then<br />

up to the patient to decide if they want<br />

to come back for further or regular<br />

chiropractic treatment. This could<br />

be weekly, monthly or bi-annually<br />

depending on what they want.<br />

André says that in the USA chiropractic<br />

treatment is listed third among the<br />

most beneficial natural therapies<br />

available. Used as an ongoing<br />

preventative treatment, it offers a<br />

holistic approach to overall wellbeing.<br />

Keeping up with the latest trends and<br />

developments in his field is vital to<br />

André; however, he says it’s about<br />

what works best for his clients. He<br />

offers not only hands-on manipulation<br />

of the spine but also soft tissue<br />

massage, which some patients prefer.<br />

He also utilises the modality of laser<br />

treatment to assist the traditional<br />

approach and an activator instrument,<br />

which can be used more precisely<br />

instead of hands.<br />

Over the years André has successfully<br />

treated an extensive client base<br />

with ages ranging from school-age<br />

children through to 90+ year-olds. He<br />

enjoys the down-to-earth professional<br />

relationships he has with each patient<br />

and says delivering the chiropractic<br />

service and getting people better is<br />

what it’s all about.<br />

Also, if he can’t help, he will refer his<br />

patients to a professional who can.<br />

If you have back pain and are looking for a committed, passionate, and caring chiropractic practitioner, call André today on 03 322 1432. Based in halswell at 3 Kennedys Bush Road,<br />

Southern Chiropractic also runs a clinic every Tuesday in Ashburton.<br />

Horrack on Parker’s under-card<br />

Strikeforce boxer training<br />

for bout on December 15<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

HALWELL’S Strikeforce boxer<br />

Bjorn Horrack will trade a roof<br />

for the ring to be on the undercard<br />

for Joseph Parker’s bout<br />

against United States-Mexican<br />

Alexander Flores at Horncastle<br />

Arena.<br />

The 29-year-old is a roofer<br />

by trade but has competed in<br />

boxing, kickboxing and mixed<br />

martial arts since he was 21.<br />

He will take on fellow<br />

Cantabrian Quintin Poole on<br />

December 15 at the Round 12<br />

Boxing and Fitness Centre in the<br />

central city.<br />

Horrack will compete in a<br />

corporate bout consisting of<br />

three 2min rounds.<br />

“The talk is we’ll be opening<br />

the night, which is a bit of fun,”<br />

he said. “I’ll have a few mates<br />

going so it’ll be great to be out<br />

there.”<br />

Cantabrians Bowyn Morgan<br />

(18-1) – a two-weight national<br />

champion and IBO Asia Pacific<br />

welterweight champion –<br />

and Nort Beauchamp (17-2),<br />

who is the IBO Oceania super<br />

featherweight champion, will<br />

also be on the card.<br />

The former Cashmere High<br />

School student practiced jiu jitsu<br />

in his early 20s at the Strikeforce<br />

Gym before taking an MMA<br />

bout on a week’s notice for his<br />

first taste of competitive combat.<br />

“I’d always loved mixed<br />

martial arts and have combined<br />

that with kickboxing and boxing<br />

over the years,”<br />

Horrack last competed on<br />

the Pacific Warrior II card<br />

at the Hagley Events Centre<br />

last month. But he said the<br />

upcoming bout would be the<br />

biggest of his life.<br />

“Obviously there will be a few<br />

more people having a look and<br />

tuning in to see how we go,” he<br />

said.<br />

Horrack, who weighs in at<br />

100kg, said he expected to give<br />

up at least <strong>30</strong>kg to Poole.<br />

He said he had a few options<br />

on how to combat his opponent’s<br />

size and one was to simply try to<br />

outlast him.<br />

“He’ll try to use his size to lean<br />

on me and make things difficult,<br />

but the longer it goes, it may<br />

work in my favour.”<br />

Coach Steve Brown said<br />

Horrack had a big heart and<br />

they would be working on not<br />

only his physical preparation but<br />

also a mental approach to deal<br />

with boxing at a big event.<br />

Delta rhythmic<br />

gymnast takes<br />

first national title<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

BISHOPDALE’S Delta Rhythmic<br />

Gymnastics Club member<br />

Sarah Quinn became a national<br />

champion for the first time after<br />

a stellar competition at Tauranga.<br />

The 16-year-old, who goes to<br />

Villa Maria College and lives in<br />

West Melton,<br />

became the<br />

overall national<br />

champion at level<br />

nine.<br />

Sarah (right)<br />

won the ribbon<br />

and ball<br />

competitions<br />

and was third in the clubs. Her<br />

consistency across all disciplines<br />

earned her the national title.<br />

“It was an amazing feeling,<br />

something I wasn’t expecting.”<br />

Sarah started gymnastics nine<br />

years ago just to try it out and<br />

has not looked back.<br />

She trained for more than<br />

15 hours a week in the lead-up<br />

to the competition and was<br />

delighted with the overall result.<br />

Sarah said she enjoys using the<br />

clubs. “I always enjoyed learning<br />

new routines with them and it<br />

was something I learnt quickly,”<br />

she said.<br />

She will now turn her attention<br />

to winning a level 10 title next<br />

year at the nationals to add<br />

another golden moment to her<br />

rhythmic gymnastics CV.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

You asked for it ... we found it!<br />

103 Penruddock Rise, Westmorland<br />

Auction: Thursday, 8 November <strong>2018</strong> - unless sold prior<br />

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number BE193132<br />

On a flat 938 sq m section, with<br />

magnificent views encompassing rolling<br />

hills, city lights and the Southern alps,<br />

and all on a single level with easy drive-on<br />

access; this Westmorland property has a list<br />

of requirements we often see and can seldom<br />

fulfill, with demand always outstripping<br />

supply. The beautifully finished executive<br />

home is spacious and well laid out with<br />

multiple choices of living and entertaining<br />

zones, indoors and out. With solar panels<br />

installed to maximize the home’s fantastic<br />

exposure to all day sun, it’s no wonder our<br />

vendors are only reluctantly relinquishing<br />

their much loved home to relocate north.<br />

A centerpiece kitchen sits at the heart of<br />

the home, with sleek stainless steel benches,<br />

custom built charcoal joinery and 900 wide<br />

free standing range. From here you can<br />

preside over two separate living areas, the<br />

dining room and three different outdoor<br />

decks, not to mention panoramic views.<br />

The design is perfect for family living<br />

and entertaining with the areas able to be<br />

separated off when required for a more<br />

intimate feel. Each of the outdoor spaces<br />

has a different aspect, making it easy to find<br />

a sheltered spot in the sun at any time.<br />

There are four bedrooms, the master<br />

being particularly spacious, with walkin<br />

robe and ensuite. Both bathrooms are<br />

elegantly finished with extensive tiling<br />

and modern wall hung vanities. There is a<br />

separate laundry and a double garage with<br />

internal access. Raised vege planters are<br />

currently flourishing with home grown<br />

produce, testament to the unique hillside<br />

micro climate and just one more reason to<br />

come for the views and stay for the lifestyle.<br />

Open Home Saturday 3rd and Sunday<br />

4th November 4:00pm - 4.<strong>30</strong>pm.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sment southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

said the le ter.<br />

One reply has b en received so<br />

far from an owner who is wi ling<br />

to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />

the owners would have to agr e<br />

to undertake work.<br />

Cr East said there had b en<br />

a “number of incidences” in<br />

the car park of people injuring<br />

themselves which had gone<br />

unreported.<br />

“I’ve always though that it<br />

has b en quite amazing that we<br />

haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />

or senior citizens perhaps<br />

tri ping in those potholes and<br />

doing themselve some damage.”<br />

He is confiden the new<br />

a proach wi l bring results.<br />

“I think the WorkSafe<br />

involvement may prove to be the<br />

lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />

Apartments’<br />

owners<br />

expect EQC<br />

sign-off<br />

this week<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffere damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 million, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />

to be a cut above the rest in an<br />

international competition.<br />

New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />

came second a the World<br />

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />

Ireland.<br />

It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />

had competed in the cha lenge<br />

and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />

how the team performed.<br />

“We produced some top quality<br />

products and came away<br />

with a g od result so we’re very<br />

ha py,” he said.<br />

The preparation for this year’s<br />

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />

intense as the team members<br />

met in Auckland every two<br />

months for lengthy w ekend<br />

practices.<br />

Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />

butcher for 14 years, said the<br />

competition brought back his<br />

pa sion for the job.<br />

“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />

m eting new people, s eing new<br />

ideas, it just brings that flair<br />

back for you,” he said.<br />

Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />

butcher shop of his own someday<br />

but says for now he wi l focus<br />

on ge ting mor experience<br />

and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />

“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />

going back to try and win the<br />

title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />

interest in having input into the<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />

received for a potential bylaw<br />

aimed at regulating commercial<br />

activities in public places.<br />

The district council wi l be<br />

holding a hearing for the Public<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />

Activities and Events in<br />

Public Places.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

held on Thursday.<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

number of mobile traders<br />

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />

months.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

council has received five inquiries<br />

about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

on private or public land.<br />

A report said there are two<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

served, members of the trust wi l<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />

important children were<br />

educated on what soldiers<br />

wen through during World<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />

But he said the presentation<br />

didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

and was more of a “show and<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />

international competition.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder was named in the a l<br />

star team a the World Butchers’<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />

Mr Winder and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

includes W olston butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

in the competition.<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />

as a “transtasman test match”<br />

seven years ago.<br />

The preparation for this<br />

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

was intense as the team<br />

members met in Auckland<br />

every two months for lengthy<br />

w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />

said coming second against 1<br />

other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

result.<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />

was a huge achievement and to<br />

be ahead of Australia is an<br />

even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Winder admires the<br />

Australian team.<br />

“Those guys over there<br />

[Australia] are on top of their<br />

game, they do a g od job,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And it just showcases that<br />

New Zealand has got some<br />

of the best butchers in the<br />

world,” he said.<br />

Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

from the city council to make a<br />

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

told <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> the submi sion<br />

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />

plan.<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

board] don’t believe quarries<br />

should be so close to residential<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

board’ submi sion.<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

city council has had their eyes<br />

open as we l ove recent years over<br />

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said the community<br />

board wi l be “representing and<br />
