But Northcote’s Anna Lee School of Dance student Anna McKey was one of the lucky ones chosen to dance in the company’s rendition of The Nutcracker that opened last week. The 13-year-old, who lives in Parklands was chosen alongside 60 children to feature in the show at the Isaac Theatre Royal last weekend. The children will play the roles of mice, party girls, bonbons and fairies. Anna was picked to play the role of one of the Mouse King’s minions and dance in one of the major scenes where the Mouse King fights The Nutcracker. She said she was very excited to get on stage and see the Royal New Zealand Ballet dancers perform beside her. “This is definitely really exciting because I have never been able to do a performance with the Royal New Zealand Ballet,” she said. Anna said her dream would be to have a career in dance and is looking at auditioning for the New Zealand School of Dance in the future. •Turn to page 8 Schools recognised Pupils keep Christchurch beautiful Page 5 Page 10 Win a trip to Singapore A getaway for two worth $7000 up for grabs BIG OPPORTUNITY: Anna McKey was chosen to dance in the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s rendition of The Nutcracker. New Dentures > Relines > Repairs > 6 Brynley Street, Hornby, Christchurch www.betterdenture.co.nz Residents voice their concerns over removal of car parks • By Ashleigh Monk PAPANUI RESIDENTS and business owners are frustrated with the amount of parking spaces being removed from the area. On-street car parking is set to be removed from parts of Main North and Langdons Rds, and locals are voicing their concerns. Sails St resident Richard Lucas said the removal of car parking in the area had forced workers and shoppers to park on small side streets in the area. “There is already a 120min parking restriction outside our home and this is abused almost on a daily basis and if the parking is removed on Langdons Rd, as proposed, this will only get worse,” he said. “Our street is virtually taken up by Papanui High school pupils and people who work in the area five days a week.” He said he would join Papanui- Innes Community Board member John Stringer in his battle against the Langdons Rd proposal. •Turn to page 6 Award Winner in Applefield Court 63 Applefield Court, Northwood | Listing #BE193157 4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 3 off-steet parks Your agent, Your home, Your future LICENSED SALES CONSULTANT REAA 2008 This award-winning house is situated in the heart of the Styx Mill Country Club gated community, offering a safe and secure setting for this lovely home.
