GOOD CAUSE: Cashmere High School teachers raised money for men’s health issues during Movember with themed dress up 

days like medieval Monday. 

Playing dress up for Movember 

Movember dress-up fixture 

started in 2014, when a group of 

moustache-laden men decided 

to dress up as mid-80s maths 

teachers. 

Since then, the group decided 

that every day of the final week 

of November they would dress 

up, with each theme relating to 

moustaches. 

“We’ve honoured themes such 

as Miami Vice, heavy metal, 

Victorian times, and Woodstock, 

as well as individuals like Tom 

Selleck, Billy T James and Ned 

Flanders over the years,” said 

deputy principal Blair Johnson.

townhouses 

force 

neighbour 

to move out 

• By Julia Evans 

A SPREYDON woman who had 

five two-storey townhouses built 

less than 1m away from her house 

is packing up and moving. 

Bolton Ave homeowner Kim 

Mehlhopt said she has sold her 

property and will be moving out 

in the next two weeks. 

“Just fed up with noise and 

parking issues. 

All that came 

with it, all we 

knew would come 

with it,” she said. 

Last year, it 

was revealed 

JSJ Investments 

was building 

townhouses 

next door to Ms 

Kim 

Mehlhopt 

Mehlhopt’s home of 15 years – the 

garage less than 1m away. 

But situations like Ms 

Mehlhopt’s may be avoided in the 

future. 

City council staff are 

investigating how tightlypacked 

housing is effecting the 

community and whether it needs 

to ask Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Minister Megan 

Woods to change the District 

Plan. “The work into high density 

housing will be relevant,” city 

council head of resource consents 

John Higgins said.

SOUTHERN VIEW 

DRY JULY, Movember . . . all of those 

themed sort of events can be fairly tedious 

and repetitive in my humble view. 

I will point out though, that doesn’t diminish 

the great causes these events raise 

money for. 

But I was amused and impressed by the photo reporter 

Sophie Cornish found regarding Cashmere High’s Movember 

fundraising campaign. It deservedly gets front page attention 

today. 

More than $4000 was raised by staff for men’s health and this 

year’s theme, Game of Mos, was in tune with other themes over 

the years like Miami Vice and Tom Selleck from Magnum P.I. 

The line of the week goes to deputy principal Blair Johnson, 

who was of course the ‘chief mo-tivator’.

City chorus puts 

on festive show 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

THE Christchurch City Chorus 

is putting on a festive show to 

get everyone into the Christmas 

spirit. 

On December 15 the choir will 

take the stage to perform The 

Magic of Christmas. 

Musical director Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor said the show 

would include Christmas carols, 

skits, poems and dancing. 

“We want to share the joy and 

music of Christmas with people,” 

she said. 

“We want everyone to come 

and sing carols with us. It’s 

something for the whole family 

to get everyone excited for 

Christmas.” 

She said about 80 members of 

the choir would be performing. 

“We’ve got quartets singing, 

we’ve got small groups singing, 

we’ve got about 20 children who 

will be performing,” she said. 

“We’ll sing a lot of the classic 

Christmas carols, but there will 

also be a few songs that people 

won’t know; songs from around 

the world about Christmas.” 

The show would give members 

a chance to get some practice 

in before the Christchurch City 

Chorus heads to New Orleans 

for a performance in September. 

“We’re doing as many shows 

as we can so we are prepared,” 

she said. 

She said she hoped to showcase 

the group and encourage 

new members to join. 

“We’re looking for new 

members all the time. There’s 

always a turn over of membership 

because people move away 

or their lives change, so this is a 

chance for people who might be 

interested in joining to see what 

we do.” 

The Magic of Christmas will 

be performed on December 15, 

with a matinee at 2pm and an 

evening show at 7pm. 

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 

for seniors and $10 for children, 

and can be purchased at www.

$1.2m plan for old Redcliffs school site 


• By Louis Day 

PLANS FOR a new $1.2 million 

park on the old Redcliffs School 

site have been released. 

The city council has proposed 

converting the site into a park 

to compensate for the loss 

of Redcliffs Park, which will 

accommodate the new school. 

The draft landscape plan is 

open for public consultation 

until December 17. Once 

consultation has finished, the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board will make a 

recommendation on the park’s 

future to the city council. 

It would be called Te Papa 

Kura, a name gifted by local iwi. 

Papa means park and kura can 

mean both school and red. 

One junior and one 

intermediate football field, 

a toilet, drinking fountain, 

additional furniture and new 

signage will all be added to the 

park. 

The existing playground, 

furniture, car park and a 

community building will be kept 

on the site. 

The site is also being 

considered as a possible location 

for a skate park as part of the 

Bays Area Skate Project. 

City council acting head of 

DEVELOPMENT: The city council has proposed a $1.2 million plan to convert the old Redcliffs 

School site into a park. 

parks Kate Russell was confident 

the new park would be just as 

good as the old one, in spite 

of the new site being 643 sq m 

smaller. 

“The new park will offer 

the same sport and recreation 

opportunities as the former park 

– sports fields, a playground, 

a community building, toilets 

and car parking. We will also be 

adding a perimeter path.” 

Ms Russell said the city council 

was aiming to start and finish 

construction next year, with the 

football fields predicted to be 

ready before winter. 

However, Friends of Redcliffs 

Park spokesman Chris Doudney 

said the relocation of the park 

and the school was “totally 

pointless”. 

“The old school site is on the 

same side of the road to about 

80 per cent of its pupils so kids 

don’t have to cross the main road. 

It’s also higher than the new site 

which is a flood plain.” 

Mr Doudney also has issues 

with the plans for the new park. 

“I’m glad they are keeping a 

couple of the trees but I think 

they should keep a few more. I 

thought that they should move 

one of the playing fields a bit 

further away from the other one 

so there is room to keep another 

tree or two and to get a path 

between the two playing fields.” 

Mr Doudney said the best 

thing the city council could do 

was to move the school back to its 

old site and leave Redcliffs Park 

where it was.

Theatre for babies 

BABIES AND theatre are not 

usually two things that are put 

together. 

In fact, any parent who has 

taken a baby to a performance 

knows it can be challenging at 

best and a disaster at worst. 

Turning that whole idea on 

its head is Burwood’s Melanie 

Luckman, Sumner’s Hannah 

Wheeler and Strowan’s Amy 

Straker. 

The trio will perform their 

show Up And Away, designed 

especially for pre-walking 

babies, in New Brighton and 

Phillipstown. 

The show will be staged 

through the newly-launched 

Cubbin Theatre Company. 

The company aims to develop 

genuine theatre for children 

under the age of five. 

Each performance will last 

about 30-40min with an opportunity 

for families to stay and 

play at the end. 

The show will also take place 

in a carefully crafted tent. 

“Our vision is of a world where 

high-quality art is as integral to 

early childhood as the 

playground, and as accessible,” 

Luckman said. 

She said it has been great 

working with the city council’s 

enliven places project fund for 

MAGICAL: Hannah Wheeler and Amy Straker performing their 

show Up and Away, which is designed especially for 

pre-walking babies. 

this tour. 

Luckman said with the funding’s 

help it can offer the show 

for $5 for a baby and adult 

together. 

The show is informed by 

neuroscientific research and has 

been developed in consultation 

with a speech and a language 

therapist through a series of 

rehearsal workshops with babies. 

Wheeler was working at LATT 

Children’s Theatre and living in 

South Korea when she saw her 

first baby theatre performance. 

“It was five years ago and what 

I experienced has stuck with me 

ever since. I am really excited 

about bringing high quality, 

respectful and intelligent theatre 

to children in Christchurch,” she 

said.

Thursday and Friday at 

the Phillipstown Hub, 39

Townhouses force neighbour out 

•From page 1 

Said Mr Higgins: “The work 

will involve reviewing high 

density developments and 

reporting back to the Regulatory 

Performance Committee on the 

initial findings and next steps,” 

Ms Mehlhopt said the 

development devalued her home, 

cost her privacy, and the street’s 

family-orientated 

appeal. Construction of the 

townhouses was finished earlier 

this year. 

“The council never did 

anything about it, so I’m 

moving,” she said. 

Under the current District 

Plan, zoning for the development 

was compliant. 

COMPLETE: Kim Mehlhopt is moving after 

townhouses were built less than 1m away from 

her Spreydon home. 

Mr Higgins said consents were 

issued in accordance with the 

Resource Management Act and 

Building Act. 

“Having said that, following 

the concerns raised by Ms 

Mehlhopt, the council did talk 

to and meet with both parties 

on several occasions to explore 

if there were any mitigation 

measures/improvements that 

could be undertaken that would 

improve the situation for Ms 

Mehlhopt.” 

One of the ideas was to re-site 

the house on her property as part 

of her EQC repairs. 

However, Mr Higgins said 

no mitigation or improvements 

were agreed upon.

Women only 

time slots at 

swimming pools 

• By Julia Evans 


FOR TWO hours on Sunday 

it was only women who were 

allowed to swim in the teaching 

pool at Pioneer. 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox said 

20 females and a pre-school age 

boy attended the first session over 

the weekend. 

“Ranging in age from preschool 

to seniors,” he said. 

Mr Cox said the women-only 

sessions will be held at Aquagym 

and Wharenui pools, as well as 

Pioneer Recreation and Sports 

Centre, in conjunction with 

Christchurch Resettlement Services. 

“The pool is booked for this 

session to run every Sunday from 

1.30–3.30pm,” he said. 

The idea was suggested by the 

city council’s multicultural subcommittee 

in June, which asked 

staff to look into the potential of 

offering women-only swimming 

sessions at particular times. 

The session sets out to cater to 

women of other cultures, particularly 

Muslim women who generally 

aren’t able to swim in public. 

But also other women who do 

not feel comfortable swimming 

with men.

Principal goes for swim at school fair 

• By Louis Day 

REDCLIFFS SCHOOL still 

managed to raise more than 

$30,000 at its fair in the face of 

wet and windy weather. 

School principal Rose 

McInerney, who went for a swim 

in the dunk tank, said there was 

still more money to come. 

“We had two amazing cubby 

houses at the fair and because we 

couldn’t paint them at the fair 

because of the weather, they still 

have to be finished and auctioned 

off on Trade Me, so they will 

potentially bring in another 

$5000,” said Mrs McInerney. 

More than 2000 people 

attended the fair last Sunday and 

were treated to a wide variety of 

sideshows and activities, such 

as mini golf, dunk the teacher, 

mini jeep trucks and a horizontal 

bungy. 

Pupils opened the fair by 

performing kapa haka and 

singing choir songs. 

“Our (pupils) were incredible, 

I think they got about 4min of 

singing without rain and sung 

their little hearts out for another 

20min in the rain.” 

Mrs McInerney said the money 

raised would go a long way in 

improving the experience of 

pupils at the school. 

“Some of it will go towards 

additional teaching resources to 

provide extra opportunity for 

our students and some of it is 

definitely going to go towards the 

outdoor areas and seating for our 

new school.” 

Mrs McInerney said the fair 

could have quite easily been 

a failure if it were not for the 

resilience of the community. 

“For our school community 

and the wider community to get 

behind the school fair and come 

along out in the wind and rain, 

I just think it speaks volumes 

about who they are.” 

SPLASH: Redcliffs School pupils celebrate after dunking their 

principal Rose McInerney in the dunk tank.

New equipment for 

sensory playground 

OBSOLETE equipment from 

throughout the city is getting a 

new lease of life in the children’s 

playground at Rawhiti Doman. 

The sensory playground is 

designed to give all children, 

especially those with special 

needs, the opportunity to 

explore senses. 

The playground was the 

brainchild of SmileDial New 

Zealand founder Kelly Dugan. 

Mr Dugan, who has a sevenyear-old 

daughter with cerebral 

palsy, came up with the idea. 

Some of the large plastic 

traffic sheep that used to feature 

on inner city pavements have 

been put out to pasture in the 

sensory garden along with one 

of the New Brighton tiny huts. 

An avid supporter of the 

playground is Citycare property 

supervisor Doug Peek, who 

is always on the lookout for 

items that can be recycled at the 

playground rather than sent to 

landfill. 

When it was time to decide 

if the hut should stay or be 

dismantled, Mr Peek suggested 

it be added to the garden. 

CREATIVE: Citycare property supervisor Doug Peek is always 

on the look-out for items that can be recycled for the sensory 

garden at Rawhiti Domain. 

“I always keep SmileDial and 

the kids in the back of my mind 

when out on the job . . . we are 

essentially turning trash into 

treasure,” Mr Peek said. 

SmileDial receives no 

cool and colourful 

Government funding, only 

community support. 

“Without the backing of 

organisations like Citycare 

we simply wouldn’t exist,” Mr 

Dugan said. 

Halswell teen’s path 

ambulance career 

ST JOHN’S National Cadet of 

the Year is 17-year-old Dominic 

Anisy, who hopes to ultimately 

pursue a career with the 

ambulance service. 

Dominic (right) has been 

a youth member since 2006, 

starting as a penguin at the 

Opawa division before moving to 

Halswell, where he is currently a 

cadet leader. 

He graduated from St Thomas 

of Canterbury College this year. 

Dominic was also the South 

Island Region Cadet of the Year 

and competed for the national 

title alongside Virginia Konelio 

and Jeremy Johnston. 

Dominic formally took over the 

role as National Cadet of the Year 

from Cascade Price at an investiture 

ceremony earlier this month 

at the Christchurch Transitional 

Cathedral. 

Outside St John, Dominic is a 

talented graphic designer having 

won a national graphic design 

competition to design the logo of 

the new St John intranet. 

Dominic also hopes to pursue 

a career with St John’s frontline 

ambulance service or the police 

force in future. 

“I am really looking forward to 

my term as National Cadet of the 

Year. I am so passionate about St

John Youth and I am grateful for 

all the fun memories, life skills 

and friends that I have made 

along the way,” said Dominic. 

St John Community health 

services director Sarah Manley 

said Dominic will “play a big 

part in leading the St John youth 

programme’s 15-year strategy, 

launched last year in St John 

youth’s 90th year.” 

St John youth has about 7500 

members, with 193 divisions 

across New Zealand. 

As part of his cadet duties, 

Dominic will lead the St John 

youth advisory panel, supported 

by Virginia Konelio and Jeremy 

Johnston.

‘Moody’ wildlife photo wins big 

AN “OBSESSED with nature” 

Spreydon nine-year-old has won 

the Canterbury Museum youth 

photography competition. 

Max Eadie-Lilley won the 

under-10 category with his 

moody monochrome shot of a 

school of fish in a Lake Taupo 

dam. 

He took the photo, which he 

titled Stuck, during a weekend 

away with his family. 

Dylan Fisher, 10, was runnerup 

for his portrait of a Kea, 

which judges said captured the 

bird’s intelligence and famously 

cheeky nature. 

The competition titled 

Amazing Animals attracted 

more than 200 entries from 

photographers aged 15 and under 

throughout Canterbury. 

The judges convened last week 

SNAP: Spreydon resident Max 

Eadie-Lilley’s photo (top left) 

won the under-10 category in 

Canterbury Museum’s youth 

photography competition. 

to choose a winner and runnerup 

from the two categories. 

Zoe Evans, 15, won the 11 to 

15 category for a close-up shot of 

a Bellbird inside Auckland Zoo’s 

aviary. 

“When the Bellbird finally 

realised I was there, it looked 

straight at me with its beautiful 

brown eyes and I took my final 

shot. It was truly a rare and 

magical moment,” she said. 

Anna Babington’s heartbreaking 

shot of a injured seal 

by a boat propeller was second 

place. 

Canterbury Museum curator 

natural history Cor Vink, who 

was one of the competition’s 

three judges, said the panel was 

blown away by the quality of the 

entries. 

“We were just amazed by 

the talent these young people 

had. We recently hosted the 

Natural History Museum’s 

Wildlife Photographer of the Year 

exhibition, and I honestly think 

some of these shots would not 

have looked out of place on the 

walls of that exhibition.” 

The winners won Prezzie Card 

prizes and their photographs are 

on display now in the museum’s 

foyer.

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the 

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as 

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at 

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops 

are bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive body pampering 

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced 

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift 

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite 

and again there is a wide selection to choose from, 

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie, 

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor 

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on 

the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from the 

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy 

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener 

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a 

smile on their face on Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy 

than seeing the excitement of the children opening 

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa 

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly 

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy 

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling 

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas 

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards 

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please.

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home. 

Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or 

just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are 

many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home. 

Go natural 

Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped 

around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray 

paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home 

at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around 

the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint 

white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the 

top and thread some gardeners string through the hole 

and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree 

or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene 

balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These 

can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on 

the table. 

Tinsel town 

Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings 

but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered 

cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with 

baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive 

as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath 

by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene 

circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to 

create extra wow. 

Table setting 

Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table 

can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled 

up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary 

wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner 

down the middle of the table and add greenery and 

candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece. 

If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a 

long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large 

circles where the plates can go and write Christmas 

questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with 

a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of 

red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are 

finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses 

or hangman or just draw pictures. 

If you’re looking for ideas why not check out 

Pintrest. Here you will find every style and every 

technique to make sure your home looks like a 

Christmas wonderland this festive season.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a 

back muscle could also be the cause, as 

shown in the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the hip, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the hip in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment.

Play, laugh, learn. These are the essential 

ingredients for a successful Pre-School 

education. These crucial early years are to be 

nurtured, shaped and cherished as your child 

takes their first steps in education. 

Research states that play may be the single 

most important things that humans do. “Our 

play based learning approach supports your 

child as they begin their exciting journey as a 

lifelong learner” says Principal Scott Thelning. 

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School teaches the 

children of tomorrow, today. 

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your 

whole family is welcomed into the wider 

embrace of the Grammar community 

including whole school fun and functions, 

services and support as well as smooth 

transition to the Junior School and links to the 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Cathedral Grammar 

Pre-School located within 

the heart of the city 

Prep School. 

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built 

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, your 

child will discover by curiosity, investigation 

and exploration. Our low child/teacher ratios, 

ensure your child’s quality individual and 

group learning. 

Every advantage is taken of our central 

city location to extend our ‘campus’ from the 

Botanic Gardens to the Canterbury Museum, 

The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional 

Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch 

central library) to the emergency services. 

Being an inner city Pre-School also gives 

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to engage 

in your child’s learning if you are working in 

the CBD. 

Your child will develop essential 

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He 

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised 

facilities, subjects and staff including Art, 

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel. 

When children feel good about themselves 

and their abilities, they are able to take flight 

and explore, discover, take risks and play, 

laugh and learn effectively and successfully. 

“Self-esteem is at the core of this development 

process” Thelning says. 

Every day is an open day at Cathedral 

Grammar Pre-School. Contact Lydia

Hills MP Ruth Dyson and several people 

living on Stewart Island. She was the 

district nurse on Stewart Island from 1965- 

1972, where she would look after seasick 

ferry passengers, newborn babies, the 

elderly, and accident victims. 

Miss Perkins became famous 

throughout the community for driving 

what relatives described as a “green army 

jeep” to see patients across the island. 

Her cousin Robert Overton said Miss 

Perkins was often on call 24 hours a day as 

she was the only nurse on the island. 

“She had to be a bit of everything there. 

There wasn’t even a doctor on the island.” 

Before she was the district nurse on 

Stewart Island, Miss Perkins worked at 

St Helen’s Hospital in Sydenham, Dee St 

Maternity Hospital in Invercargill and was 

also matron at the Lumsden Maternity 

Centre. 

After seven years of service on 

Stewart Island, Miss Perkins retired in 

Christchurch but continued to care for 

family and friends. 

“Dot has been the lady who has moved 

where the need has been to look after 

people. She looked after both my wife’s 

parents and my parents before they passed 

away,” Mr Overton said. 

Miss Perkins was driving people to 

church, getting her own groceries and 

looking after herself in her Redcliffs home 

ROYAL TREATMENT: Dorothy Perkins 

was all smiles after receiving a card 

from the Queen. 

until Christmas last year, when she moved 

to Edith Cavell Lifecare and Village. 

Mr Overton said Miss Perkins would 

always put the needs of other people before 

her own. 

“Dot never wanted to be a worry. If she 

fell at two in the morning she would wait 

till six to call the buzzer. One day she had 

a fall in the garden so she shuffled into 

a bush and did some weeding while she 

waited for help to arrive. She’s not one to 

cause a fuss.”

Children eat 

what they sow 

At Kimihia we are very lucky to have 

space for vege gardens. Our tamariki are 

involved in all aspects of the growing 

of vegetables and fruit. Whilst our 

strawberries are usually picked and 

eaten fresh, most of the vegetables we 

grow are used in the meals our Centre 

provides. Over the growing season our 

garden produced pumpkins, zucchini, 

beetroot, tomatoes, beans, basil, 

coriander, silverbeet, peas, broccoli, 

cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. Giant 

sunflowers, nasturtiums and calendulas 

provided plenty of colour in the garden. 

Our children delighted in being able to 

harvest the vegetables thay had grown 

and take them to our food preparers. We 

have also saved seeds from some of last 

year’s veges to plant in the new season’s 

garden. 

The garden offers so many 

opportunities for learning; not only the 

connection between garden and plate, 

but also how to care for living things, 

how to work together and how to live 

sustainably and care for the earth.

New research on Gingko 

Biloba excites researchers! 

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 

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. 

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic 

clinical dose without having to take a large 

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba 

products on the market, and tested by a 

major medical journal, only TEBONIN 

passed all five of the test requirements. 

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements 

and the rest didn’t pass more than three 

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is 

the only Gingko biloba extract shown 

to activated all areas of the brain and is 

considered the gold standard in Gingko. 

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions 

of consumers worldwide for over 30 

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets 

consumed each day.

REAL ESTATE 

A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is” 

214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant 

Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 December, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0133 

Serving as an immaculate example of an as 

is, where is property, this partially repaired 

four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional 

north-facing views over the sea and coastline 

offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle. 

With remediation three-quarters complete, 

the vendors have now exceeded their cap and 

don’t wish to proceed any further with the 

remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer 

this superbly presented home to a new buyer 

who can live incredibly comfortably while 

they finish the last of the work required in 

their own time. 

The property’s cladding has been repaired 

and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen 

exudes modern style with its granite 

benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting 

from an elevated outlook over the sea that 

stretches across to Ferrymead. 

The multi-level living layout includes a 

breath-taking lounge on the central portion of 

the first floor which features a double height 

ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to 

the space. From there, a small set of steps lead 

you up to the kitchen and open plan dining 

and living area where you can admire the 

unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies 

and decks provide outdoor flow and there is 

some good flat lawn for children to play. 

Four good sized bedrooms are serviced by 

three bathrooms and a powder room, with the 

master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe 

and an ensuite with a spa bath. One bedroom 

has a kitchenette and could be used to hosts 

guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive 

on access with turning and internal access 

triple car garaging which are further enticing 

features of the property. 

Located within easy reach of the various 

coastal suburbs that lead you around to 

Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a 

relatively straight-forward commute into the 

city centre which will take you less than 20 

minutes by car. Zoned and within walking 

distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10). 

Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this 

property offers comfort and presents buyers 

with the opportunity to complete the home 

to their taste. Possibly the best we have 

marketed! 

Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday & 

Sunday 3:15pm - 4:00pm.

viewing or for more information contact

The bylaw comes as an increasing

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

soap residue, mineral deposits and dirt that end up on the shower
