PACKED: A community group says the number of parking offences<br />

recorded on Fenhall St in Russley prove residents’ only parking is needed.<br />

RUSSLEY RESIDENTS say<br />

they have been proved right<br />

after more than 1300 parking<br />

offences were reported in the<br />

area this year.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

reduced parking limits on<br />

streets near the Airport Business<br />

Park from 120min to<br />

60min last year.<br />

Avonhead Community Group<br />

chairman Somnath Sarkar<br />

Bagchi said residents warned<br />

the city council last year that<br />

halving the parking time limit<br />

would not free up congested<br />

parking in Russley.<br />

The high number of offences<br />

proved the 60min parking restrictions<br />

would not work, Prof<br />

Bagchi said.<br />

People of Russley have been<br />

fighting against car parking<br />

near the Airport Business Park<br />

since it opened in 2010, he said.<br />

“Sixty minute parking means<br />

you need to have enforcement<br />

officers continuously,” Prof<br />

Bagchi said.<br />

“It is not very practical to put<br />

an enforcement officer completely<br />

dedicated for one road.”<br />

“So you can imagine how<br />

miserably it has failed.”<br />

From January 1 to October<br />

31, city council parking<br />

enforcement officers recorded<br />

13<strong>04</strong> parking offences near<br />

the Airport Business Park in<br />

Russley.<br />

Wealthy<br />

backer<br />

wanted<br />

to fight<br />

quarry<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A RESIDENT involved in<br />

the fight against the planned<br />

quarry near Templeton hopes a<br />

wealthy backer will support the<br />

campaign against it.<br />

Weedons Residents’<br />

Association committee member<br />

Simon Moore says people living<br />

near the site don’t<br />

have the money to<br />

fight the proposed<br />

Fulton Hogan<br />

quarry.<br />

Mr Moore<br />

expects the fight<br />

against the quarry<br />

to cost at least<br />

$100,000.<br />

A resource consent lodged<br />

Simon<br />

Moore<br />

with Environment Canterbury<br />

shows Fulton Hogan wants to<br />

operate a quarry 6am-6pm,<br />

Monday-Saturday.<br />

Fulton Hogan has also<br />

proposed running night<br />

operations 150 days of the year.<br />

Full quarry activities would<br />

operate from 6pm-10pm and<br />

truck movements would be<br />

carried out from 10pm-6am.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

PEOPLE LIVING near the planned quarry<br />

in Templeton will need deep pockets to<br />

fight Fulton Hogan.<br />

The company has revealed its plans<br />

for the quarry in its resource consent<br />

application - and it wants to quarry overnight for up to 150 days<br />

of the year.<br />

If you live within earshot of the site it’s going to be a problem.<br />

And then there’s the lights and the dust.<br />

It will cost upwards of $100,000 to fight Fulton Hogan. Lawyers<br />

don’t come cheap. Residents will need a strong legal team<br />

because Fulton Hogan will certainly have one.<br />

Whether Fulton Hogan actually wants to quarry through the<br />

night remains to be seen. But it will be a bargaining chip at the<br />

hearings.<br />

Kyle Park eyed for mega facility<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

KYLE PARK could be the new<br />

site for the Hornby community<br />

mega centre tomorrow.<br />

City council staff<br />

recommended Kyle Park to the<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board on Friday,<br />

after conducting geotechnical<br />

tests in September and October.<br />

The Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

will vote on the city council<br />

staff recommendation in an<br />

extraordinary board meeting<br />

tomorrow at 5.30pm.<br />

The tests were conducted<br />

after Denton Park was turned<br />

down as the location for the<br />

$35.7 million library, customer<br />

services and leisure centre in<br />

July, following strong opposition<br />

from residents.<br />

Board members also have the<br />

choice of not making a decision<br />

at this time and shortlist sites.<br />

The geotechnical investigation<br />

found that remediating the land<br />

at Kyle Park, which was a<br />

former landfill, will cost $5.8<br />

million.<br />

The city council previously<br />

estimated that remediating Kyle<br />

Park would cost between $9 and<br />

$10 million.<br />

A city council staff report<br />

said the landfill material is<br />

“significantly” contaminated “as<br />

expected.”<br />

The costs to resolve landfill<br />

issues can be covered by the<br />

existing project budget, the city<br />

council staff report said.<br />

The report also said the<br />

delivery dates for the Hornby<br />

mega centre and central city<br />

Metro Sports Facility overlap,<br />

which posed a risk of stretching<br />

city council staff resources and<br />

external industry capacity to<br />

build two similar projects at the<br />

same time.<br />

Greater Hornby Residents’<br />

Association chairman Marc<br />

Duff is scheduled to make<br />

a deputation at tomorrow’s<br />

meeting.<br />

HOPE: Kyle<br />

Park could be<br />

chosen as the<br />

site for the<br />

new Hornby<br />

community<br />

mega centre<br />

tomorrow. ​<br />

If Kyle Park gets the go-ahead,<br />

consultation will begin early<br />

next year on a partial change<br />

to the reserve classification and<br />

amendments to the management<br />

plan.<br />

Construction is planned to<br />

begin in early 2021, with the<br />

facility set to open at the end of<br />

2022.<br />

BIGGER BUS STOP<br />

A bus stop on Memorial Ave,<br />

opposite the Commodore Hotel,<br />

will be extended after reports of<br />

buses missing waiting passengers.<br />

Environment Canterbury, which<br />

runs the bus network, told the city<br />

council that the bus stop regularly<br />

features as a stop where people<br />

are not picked up by buses. The<br />

existing bus stop runs from 420<br />

to 422 Memorial Ave. To improve<br />

visibility for bus drivers, the stop<br />

will be marked from the driveway<br />

of 418 to 422 Memorial Ave.<br />

Call for residents’ only<br />

Of the offences, 973 were<br />

City council staff provided the<br />

information to the Fendalton-<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald said the<br />

city council currently does not<br />

have the ability to impose residents’<br />

only parking.<br />

The city council is currently reviewing<br />

consultation for its draft<br />

suburban parking policy, which<br />

would give it the ability to impose<br />

residents’ only parking.<br />

Mr MacDonald said parking<br />

enforcement officers need to<br />

monitor streets near the business<br />

park on a regular basis.<br />

“The feedback I get [from<br />

residents] in some streets is you<br />

can’t move down them because of<br />

the narrow nature when they are<br />

blocked up,” Mr MacDonald said.<br />

The board submitted in favour<br />

of residents’ only parking in the<br />

draft suburban parking policy.<br />

“What we need staff to be really<br />

clear on when they develop this<br />

[residents’ only parking] is<br />

. . . we need to have a really clear<br />

and structured criteria where<br />

residents parking applies.”<br />

“When there are significant<br />

[parking] issues, we want to be<br />

able to deal with them quickly,”<br />

Mr MacDonald said.<br />

Parking in Russley has in the<br />

past forced intervention from<br />

Concerns over Riccarton Rd tree plan<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

TREES COULD soon line the<br />

middle of Riccarton Rd – but<br />

the city council proposal has<br />

been slammed by residents.<br />

It is planning to plant 27<br />

columnar hornbeam trees along<br />

the median of Riccarton Rd between<br />

Clarence and Matipo Sts.<br />

In a strongly worded letter to<br />

Mayor Lianne<br />

and Wigram<br />

MP Megan<br />

Woods,<br />

Residents’<br />

proposal is<br />

“extremely<br />

dangerous.”<br />

Association<br />

chairman<br />

Garth Wilson<br />

said about 80<br />

Megan Woods<br />

members were asked about the<br />

trees and 90 per cent opposed it.<br />

“Riccarton Rd is narrow<br />

as it is and ambulances and<br />

fire engines inevitably have to<br />

travel down the middle of the<br />

CONGESTED: Central Riccarton residents are unhappy at plans to plant 27 trees on the middle of<br />

Riccarton Rd. ​<br />

road because of traffic build<br />

up, especially since there are<br />

four sets of traffic lights from<br />

Clarence St to Matipo St,” the<br />

residents said.<br />

Riccarton Rd is not wide<br />

enough to be a boulevard, the<br />

residents said.<br />

“The new trees . . . will cast<br />

a shadow on the southern side<br />

of Riccarton Rd and prevent<br />

sunlight reaching that side,<br />

which in winter will lead to<br />

damp and slippery footpaths for<br />

pedestrians.”<br />

The trees are part of stage two<br />

of the Riccarton Rd upgrade,<br />

scheduled to begin early next<br />

year. Stage one of the project<br />

included bus lanes from Deans<br />

Ave to Harakeke St and was<br />

fully completed last month.<br />

But the bus lanes were deemed<br />

“unusable” by Red Bus chief<br />

executive Paul McNoe, who said<br />

parked cars often blocked bus<br />

lanes.<br />

Plans for<br />

Chokebore<br />

restoration<br />

underway<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

ADDITIONAL investigative<br />

work is being done on the<br />

planned restoration of Chokebore<br />

Lodge.<br />

The city council said consultants<br />

are still finalising detailed<br />

design including discussion with<br />

constructors, for the Racecourse<br />

Rd site.<br />

The detailed scope and documentation<br />

will be finalised to allow<br />

consents and selecting a main<br />

contractor next year. Construction<br />

is expected to start between<br />

June and July next year.<br />

Chokebore Lodge was once<br />

owned by the well known<br />

Riccarton horse racing family the<br />

Cutts.<br />

The lodge was damaged in the<br />

February 22, 2011 earthquake.<br />

A detailed engineering<br />

evaluation showed that the lodge<br />

only met 15 per cent of the New<br />

Building Standard. All buildings<br />

built prior to 1976 must be at least<br />

34 per cent of NBS.<br />

$195m mammoth motorway<br />

It’s set to make<br />

commuting safer and<br />

easier by halving travel<br />

time and reducing fatal<br />

and serious crashes by<br />

40 per cent. Julia Evans<br />

checks in to see how<br />

work is progressing on<br />

the Southern Motorway<br />

upgrade<br />

MORE THAN 500,000 cu m<br />

of earth and $195 million is<br />

being poured into upgrading the<br />

Southern Motorway.<br />

The new 7.5km motorway will<br />

extend from Halswell Junction<br />

Rd to near Robinsons Rd on State<br />

Highway 1 so commuters can<br />

bypass Hornby and Templeton.<br />

From Robinsons Rd to Rolleston,<br />

Main South Rd will double to<br />

four-lanes for 5km.<br />

The project should halve time<br />

between the city and Rolleston<br />

from 30min to 15min.<br />

It is also expected to reduce<br />

fatal and serious crashes by 40<br />

per cent by upgrading the third<br />

and seventh most dangerous<br />

intersections in Canterbury –<br />

Weedon Ross Rd and SH1, as well<br />

as Shands and Marshs Rds.<br />

Those are just the two key<br />

features of the mammoth project<br />

that has more than 20 components<br />

and is on track for its<br />

February 2020 opening.<br />

New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency principal project<br />

manager Geoff Griffiths said<br />

the most recent milestone was<br />

northbound traffic on Main<br />

South Rd switched onto the new<br />

SH1 lanes last month.<br />

Southbound traffic also made<br />

the move last month.<br />

“The traffic switch on SH1<br />

will see some local road closures<br />

in place from this week.<br />

Larcombs Rd at Main South Rd<br />

will be closed for around four<br />

weeks and Berketts Rd will be<br />

closed at Main South Rd until<br />

NZTA senior<br />

manager<br />

Geoff Griffiths<br />

says the<br />

Southern<br />

Motorway<br />

upgrade is on<br />

track.<br />

the new southbound lanes on<br />

SH1 are opened in 2019,” he<br />

said.<br />

“That will be the next biggest,<br />

most visible stage of work when<br />

we move all the two-way traffic.”<br />

After that, work will start<br />

on moving 10 58-tonne bridge<br />

beams will be craned into place<br />

at the Weedons Rd interchange.<br />

They will complete the bridge,<br />

which already has 10 beams in<br />

place.<br />

“At the other end of things,<br />

we’ll be starting on Springs Rd,”<br />

Mr Griffiths said.<br />

That work will take the project<br />

into its final year.<br />

“A new roundabout is being<br />

constructed at the intersection of<br />

Weedons Ross/Jones Rd, which<br />

is due to be completed in the first<br />

half of 2019.”<br />

This year, work largely concentrated<br />

on the Shands Rd<br />

interchange. But there was also<br />

considerable work at the Halswell<br />

Junction Rd end of the project<br />

with 16 piers installed for the<br />

interchange.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Mr Griffiths said the biggest<br />

challenge of the project has so far<br />

been the “unknown.”<br />

“Weather has been wetter than<br />

average for the last couple of<br />

years,” he said.<br />

“And just dealing with the<br />

unknown. We’ve found a few<br />

old dumps that have been<br />

contaminated with asbestos.”<br />

But in spite of the weather<br />

and unearthing of old dumps<br />

that no one knew about, he said<br />

everything was on track for the<br />

early 2020 deadline.<br />

“We’ve got this summer and<br />

half of next summer, which is<br />

a good thing. Not only is it the<br />

rain we have to worry about, the<br />

weather does need to be warm<br />

and dry for the type of work we’re<br />

doing.”<br />

Plus Mr Griffiths said there<br />

should be no more former<br />

rubbish dumps to discover.<br />

While the project will reduce<br />

time and crashes, it will support<br />

the south-west’s economic<br />

growth with more than 35,000<br />

people expected to move there in<br />

the next 30 years.<br />

As well as improving access<br />

between Lyttelton Port, the city<br />

centre and the industrial south.<br />

During the project, more<br />

than 570 southern grass skinks<br />

UPGRADE: Building is progressing on the new Weedons Ross<br />

Rd bridge, which is part of the $195 million Southern Motorway<br />

project.<br />

are also being recovered and<br />

rehomed.<br />

Its opening will coincide with<br />

the completion of the Northern<br />

Corridor.<br />

“This job and the<br />

Northern Corridor are the last<br />

two big jobs in Christchurch that<br />

we’re working on,” Mr Griffiths<br />

said.<br />

The project was mooted in<br />

2002. It was part of a study that<br />

looked at the long-term transport<br />

needs for the south-west of the<br />

city.<br />

But it wasn’t until 2010 when<br />

the concept was open for public<br />

consultation. After design<br />

and detailed design stages,<br />

construction began in November<br />

2016.<br />

It is part of the Government’s<br />

roads of national significance<br />

programme.<br />

Draft parking policy flawed<br />

Riccarton Bush<br />

and Kilmarnock<br />

Residents’<br />

Association<br />

chairman Tony<br />

Simons talks<br />

about car<br />

parking<br />

IF YOU work outside the central<br />

city, don’t walk to work, or<br />

ride buses or a push-bike, you<br />

probably worry about parking.<br />

We all know how parking<br />

problems multiplied after the<br />

earthquakes as businesses fled to<br />

the suburbs.<br />

Then the city council made<br />

things worse by forcing higher<br />

density residential developments<br />

in many suburbs, but without<br />

adequate provision for off-street<br />

parking.<br />

The city council finally<br />

sought feedback on the problem<br />

and now we have a draft<br />

suburban parking policy that<br />

proposes how these parking<br />

problems in the suburbs will be<br />

managed.<br />

The policy suggests parking<br />

restrictions be introduced after<br />

parking occupancy in a street<br />

averages more than 85 per cent at<br />

peak times. Not 75 per cent. Not<br />

PACKED: Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock Residents’<br />

Association chairman Tony Simons is unhappy with the draft<br />

suburban car parking policy.<br />

95 per cent. The magic number is<br />

85 per cent.<br />

Maybe there is good research<br />

for this, but I think it’s more<br />

likely a council planner has<br />

decided 85 per cent sounds ‘about<br />

right.’<br />

There is also no definition of<br />

when ‘peak times’ are. I guess it<br />

means when parking demand<br />

is high, but what if 85 per cent<br />

is reached only once or twice a<br />

month, or once a year, or maybe<br />

only on sunny days?<br />

Does that trigger parking<br />

restrictions?<br />

The policy is flawed.<br />

We all know peak demand for<br />

parking is not just defined by<br />

the numbers of vehicles, but also<br />

by the effect it has on residential<br />

communities.<br />

So instead of using a formula to<br />

determine when parking should<br />

be restricted, the city council<br />

needs to talk to residents.<br />

Listen to what we say. Don’t<br />

rely on some city council planner<br />

with a calculator.<br />

Interestingly, the draft policy<br />

actually says parking should be<br />

managed on a case-by-case basis.<br />

Then it contradicts itself by<br />

proposing this dumb 85 per cent<br />

rule. And of course if, by some<br />

chance, a percentage guideline<br />

was adopted (please no), how<br />

exactly does the city council<br />

propose monitoring it?<br />

An under-resourced city<br />

council parking unit can’t<br />

adequately manage existing<br />

parking restrictions.<br />

How can it possibly count cars<br />

at the same time?<br />

Reader Gary Knight reacts<br />

to Avonhead resident<br />

Andrew Winton being<br />

refused alcohol on his 18th<br />

birthday<br />

I read with intrigue and<br />

disbelief the highlighted<br />

situation relating to the refusal<br />

of sale of liquor to one of legal<br />

age. If the criteria by which any<br />

liquor outlet determines the<br />

legality of anyone purchasing<br />

liquor is reliant on misleading<br />

wording on a calendar<br />

determined for this use, then<br />

that deems the presence of<br />

anomalies over this situation.<br />

When presented with proof<br />

of age documentation, a sense<br />

of rationale by any liquor outlet<br />

personnel is paramount. Within<br />

this context, however, when<br />

confronted with an unrealistic<br />

situation when purchasing<br />

liquor, the alternative to<br />

contacting the media would<br />

surely be to try an alternative<br />

outlet.<br />

CHANGE: A reader suggests Coach Corner change its calendar<br />

after Andrew Winton was refused beer on his 18th birthday.<br />

Maybe the Coach Corner<br />

liquor shop could discard the<br />

outmoded calendar and treat<br />

customers on their merits, and<br />

Andrew Winton could raise his<br />

sights to additional liquor outlets,<br />

ONE OF the city’s biggest<br />

employers has won the battle to<br />

make a Harewood road safer.<br />

Tait Communications approached<br />

the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community<br />

Board in an effort to have nostopping<br />

restrictions and a flush<br />

median outside the entrance to<br />

its Wooldridge Rd business.<br />

The company, which employs<br />

more than 400 people at the<br />

site on Woolrdridge Rd, raised<br />

concerns last month over the<br />

low visibility at its entrance.<br />

The recent upgrade to Russley<br />

Rd banned right turns from<br />

Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd,<br />

which has resulted in more traffic<br />

using Wooldridge Rd.<br />

There have been two reported<br />

crashes along the section of<br />

Wooldridge Rd in the last five<br />

years and four within the last<br />

eight years.<br />

All the recorded crashes were<br />

located at driveways and three<br />

of those were directly outside<br />

the Tait Communications site.<br />

spokesperson said the company<br />

the community board’s decision<br />

to allow no-stopping lines and a<br />

flush median to be installed on<br />

the road.<br />

“As the road has become more<br />

heavily used, the number of<br />

recorded near-miss events had<br />

made this a major safety risk for<br />

our staff members and visitors,”<br />

the spokesperson said.<br />

“The council and community<br />

board members have been very<br />

responsive to this and the<br />

proposed changes will resolve<br />

all of the concerns we have had.”<br />

The decision to approve the<br />

proposal was delayed after the<br />

community board requested<br />

city council staff look into other<br />

options that would save onstreet<br />

parking.<br />

However, community<br />

board chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald said parking<br />

could not be saved.<br />

But he was happy with the<br />

outcome.<br />

“There’s been a slight delay<br />

of a couple of weeks, but we<br />

communicated that with Tait,<br />

who were obviously quite<br />

concerned, and they’re quite<br />

comfortable with where we are<br />

at with the decision.”<br />

Women only<br />

time slots at<br />

swimming pools<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

FOR TWO hours on Sunday<br />

it was only women who were<br />

allowed to swim in the teaching<br />

pool at Pioneer.<br />

City council head of recreation,<br />

sports and events Nigel Cox said<br />

20 females and a pre-school age<br />

boy attended the first session over<br />

the weekend.<br />

“Ranging in age from preschool<br />

to seniors,” he said.<br />

Mr Cox said the women-only<br />

sessions will be held at Aquagym<br />

and Wharenui pools, as well as<br />

Pioneer Recreation and Sports<br />

Centre, in conjunction with<br />

Christchurch Resettlement Services.<br />

“The pool is booked for this<br />

session to run every Sunday from<br />

1.30–3.30pm,” he said.<br />

The idea was suggested by the<br />

city council’s multicultural subcommittee<br />

in June, which asked<br />

staff to look into the potential of<br />

offering women-only swimming<br />

sessions at particular times.<br />

The session sets out to cater to<br />

women of other cultures, particularly<br />

Muslim women who generally<br />

aren’t able to swim in public.<br />

But also other women who do<br />

not feel comfortable swimming<br />

with men.<br />

BISHOPDALE VILLAGE Mall is<br />

The money<br />

pong, and new signage.<br />

Bishopdale Businesses<br />

Association chairwoman<br />

Amanda Nuttall said she was<br />

glad funding for the upgrade had<br />

been approved.<br />

“Bishopdale Village was<br />

started in the 1960s and has had<br />

no significant upgrade in that<br />

time,” she said.<br />

“A start has been made with<br />

the library and community<br />

centre but it would be great to see<br />

more of the village upgraded.”<br />

She said the only challenge left<br />

would be finding projects that<br />

all businesses in the area were on<br />

board with.<br />

“One of the challenges<br />

here is that the buildings<br />

are individually-owned and<br />

ensuring all landlords commit to<br />

the upgrade is not easy.”<br />

She hopes the upgrade<br />

will draw more people to the<br />

Bishopdale area.<br />

“The population in this area<br />

is growing and this is an easilyaccessible<br />

and convenient hub of<br />

the community.”<br />

Stroke victim a step closer<br />

to getting his tricycle<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

STROKE VICTIM Grant<br />

Cowan is edging closer to<br />

getting back cycling.<br />

Friends of the former police<br />

officer and triathlete rallied<br />

around the him after he suffered<br />

two strokes 18 months<br />

ago.<br />

They set up a Go Fund Me<br />

page to buy a recumbent tricycle<br />

for the 52-year-old former<br />

Papanui resident.<br />

Donations from 149 people<br />

reached $12,300 last Friday.<br />

They need $16,500 to buy the<br />

trike, which is able to be ridden<br />

while sitting down.<br />

Mr Cowan lost the ability to<br />

speak, and lost feeling in his<br />

right arm and right leg after<br />

the stroke. He now lives at St<br />

John of God care facility in<br />

Halswell.<br />

Mr Cowan’s friend of 30<br />

years Rodger Wyatt told<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> in October<br />

that when he tried the trike<br />

at the Bike Expo, they saw<br />

an expression unseen for 18<br />

months.<br />

“The look on his face, he was<br />

just absolutely humming.”<br />

Mr Cowan’s friends also<br />

ALL SMILES: Grant Cowan on a tricycle with Trikes NZ owner Brian Gilbert. It was this<br />

moment that sparked Mr Cowan’s friends into action to raise $16,500 to buy the trike.<br />

took part in the Blue Dog sixhour<br />

blast at McLeans Island<br />

in October to raise awareness<br />

for their cause. They won the<br />

race.<br />

Mr Cowan’s best friend<br />

Derrick Murray said they<br />

also want to raise awareness<br />

about strokes among 40-50<br />

year-olds.<br />

The Stroke Foundation of<br />

New Zealand recommends<br />

learning three observations<br />

to look for when identifying<br />

stroke victims.<br />

If the person’s face is drooping<br />

on one side, if one arm<br />

is weak or if their speech is<br />

slurred, phone 111.<br />

It’s abbreviated as FAST.<br />

Face, Arm, Speech and Take<br />

action.<br />

City chorus puts<br />

on festive show<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

THE Christchurch City Chorus<br />

is putting on a festive show to<br />

get everyone into the Christmas<br />

spirit.<br />

On <strong>December</strong> 15 the choir<br />

will take the stage to perform<br />

The Magic of Christmas.<br />

Musical director Virginia<br />

Humphrey-Taylor said the show<br />

would include Christmas carols,<br />

skits, poems and dancing.<br />

“We want to share the joy<br />

and music of Christmas with<br />

people,” she said.<br />

“We want everyone to come<br />

and sing carols with us. It’s<br />

something for the whole family<br />

to get everyone excited for<br />

Christmas.”<br />

She said about 80 members of<br />

the choir would be performing.<br />

“We’ve got quartets singing,<br />

we’ve got small groups singing,<br />

we’ve got about 20 children who<br />

will be performing,” she said.<br />

“We’ll sing a lot of the classic<br />

Christmas carols, but there will<br />

also be a few songs that people<br />

won’t know; songs from around<br />

the world about Christmas.”<br />

The show would give members<br />

a chance to get some practice<br />

in before the Christchurch City<br />

Chorus heads to New Orleans<br />

for a performance in September.<br />

“We’re doing as many shows<br />

as we can so we are prepared,”<br />

she said.<br />

She said she hoped to showcase<br />

the group and encourage<br />

new members to join.<br />

“We’re looking for new<br />

members all the time. There’s<br />

always a turn over of membership<br />

because people move away<br />

or their lives change, so this is a<br />

chance for people who might be<br />

interested in joining to see what<br />

we do.”<br />

The Magic of Christmas will<br />

be performed on <strong>December</strong> 15,<br />

with a matinee at 2pm and an<br />

evening show at 7pm.<br />

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20<br />

for seniors and $10 for children,<br />

and can be purchased at www.<br />

ccchorus.co.nz or by calling<br />

Jeannette McGrath on 021 976<br />

Theatre for babies<br />

BABIES AND theatre are not<br />

usually two things that are put<br />

together.<br />

In fact, any parent who has<br />

taken a baby to a performance<br />

knows it can be challenging at<br />

best and a disaster at worst.<br />

Turning that whole idea on its<br />

head is Strowan’s Amy Straker,<br />

Burwood’s Melanie Luckman<br />

and Sumner’s Hannah Wheeler<br />

and.<br />

The trio will perform their<br />

show Up And Away, designed<br />

especially for pre-walking<br />

babies, in New Brighton and<br />

Phillipstown.<br />

The show will be staged<br />

through the newly-launched<br />

Cubbin Theatre Company.<br />

The company aims to develop<br />

genuine theatre for children<br />

under the age of five.<br />

Each performance will last<br />

about 30-40min with an opportunity<br />

for families to stay and<br />

play at the end.<br />

The show will also take place<br />

in a carefully crafted tent.<br />

“Our vision is of a world where<br />

high-quality art is as integral to<br />

early childhood as the<br />

playground, and as accessible,”<br />

Luckman said.<br />

She said it has been great<br />

working with the city council’s<br />

enliven places project fund for<br />

MAGICAL: Hannah Wheeler and Amy Straker performing their<br />

show Up and Away, which is designed especially for<br />

pre-walking babies. ​<br />

this tour.<br />

Luckman said with the funding’s<br />

help it can offer the show<br />

for $5 for a baby and adult<br />

together.<br />

The show is informed by<br />

neuroscientific research and has<br />

been developed in consultation<br />

with a speech and a language<br />

therapist through a series of<br />

rehearsal workshops with babies.<br />

Wheeler was working at LATT<br />

Children’s Theatre and living in<br />

South Korea when she saw her<br />

first baby theatre performance.<br />

“It was five years ago and what<br />

I experienced has stuck with me<br />

ever since. I am really excited<br />

about bringing high quality,<br />

respectful and intelligent theatre<br />

to children in Christchurch,” she<br />

said.<br />

•Up and Away is on<br />

Thursday and Friday at<br />

the Phillipstown Hub, 39<br />

Nursery Rd. Bookings can<br />

be made at eventbrite.co.nz.<br />

Bellbird snaps top photo prize<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

A “RARE and magical moment”<br />

caught on camera saw a Hornby<br />

teen win a photography award.<br />

Zoe Evans, 15, won the 11 to<br />

15 category for a close-up shot of<br />

a Bellbird inside Auckland Zoo’s<br />

aviary.<br />

“When the Bellbird finally<br />

realised I was there, it looked<br />

straight at me with its beautiful<br />

brown eyes and I took my final<br />

shot. It was truly a rare and<br />

magical moment,” she said.<br />

Anna Babington’s heartbreaking<br />

shot of a injured seal<br />

by a boat propeller was second<br />

place.<br />

Max Eadie-Lilley won the<br />

under-10 category with his<br />

moody monochrome shot of a<br />

school of fish in a Lake Taupo<br />

dam.<br />

SNAP: Hornby resident Zoe<br />

Evans’ photo (top left) won the<br />

11 to 15-year-old category in<br />

Canterbury Museum’s youth<br />

photography competition.<br />

He took the photo, which he<br />

titled Stuck, during a weekend<br />

away with his family.<br />

Dylan Fisher, 10, was runnerup<br />

for his portrait of a Kea,<br />

which judges said captured the<br />

bird’s intelligence and famously<br />

cheeky nature.<br />

The competition titled<br />

Amazing Animals attracted<br />

more than 200 entries from<br />

photographers aged 15 and under<br />

throughout Canterbury.<br />

The judges convened last week<br />

to choose a winner and runnerup<br />

from the two categories.<br />

Canterbury Museum curator<br />

natural history Cor Vink, who<br />

was one of the competition’s<br />

three judges, said the panel was<br />

blown away by the quality of the<br />

entries.<br />

“We were just amazed by<br />

the talent these young people<br />

had. We recently hosted the<br />

Natural History Museum’s<br />

Wildlife Photographer of the Year<br />

exhibition, and I honestly think<br />

some of these shots would not<br />

have looked out of place on the<br />

walls of that exhibition.”<br />

The winners won Prezzie Card<br />

prizes and their photographs are<br />

on display now in the museum’s<br />

foyer.<br />

We are lifelong learners who<br />

aspire to excellence<br />

Oaklands School Eco-Warriors<br />

The Eco-Warriors are a group of<br />

nine students who meet each<br />

week to explore real life problems<br />

in our community. We began in<br />

Term 2 this year and have followed<br />

a six step problem solving model<br />

to reduce the amount of rubbish,<br />

particularly plastic packaging, in<br />

our school and community.<br />

We submitted our project to<br />

the Future Problem Solving<br />

competition and were delighted<br />

to find out at the end of Term<br />

3 that we had qualified for the<br />

National competition in the<br />

junior division of the Community<br />

Problem Solving area. Five<br />

members of our group travelled<br />

to Auckland over the weekend of<br />

2 - 4 November to compete in the<br />

National competition at Carey Park<br />

in Henderson. We had to create a<br />

display, have an interview about<br />

our project and present to about<br />

200 people on Saturday night. We<br />

also submitted a scrapbook and<br />

written report outlining all the work<br />

the team had done over the three<br />

terms.<br />

We were so excited to be awarded<br />

first place in our division.<br />

Community problem solving<br />

helps us to be better thinkers,<br />

collaborators and communicators.<br />

We look forward to continuing with<br />

our project next year and our hope<br />

for the future is to have a rubbish<br />

free school and plastic free lunch<br />

boxes.<br />

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced<br />

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift<br />

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,<br />

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor<br />

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on<br />

Deck the halls<br />

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home.<br />

Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or<br />

just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are<br />

many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home.<br />

Go natural<br />

Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped<br />

around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray<br />

paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home<br />

at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around<br />

the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint<br />

white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the<br />

top and thread some gardeners string through the hole<br />

and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree<br />

or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene<br />

balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These<br />

can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on<br />

the table.<br />

Tinsel town<br />

Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings<br />

but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered<br />

cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with<br />

baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive<br />

as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath<br />

by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene<br />

circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to<br />

create extra wow.<br />

Table setting<br />

Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table<br />

can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled<br />

up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary<br />

wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner<br />

down the middle of the table and add greenery and<br />

candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece.<br />

If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a<br />

long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large<br />

circles where the plates can go and write Christmas<br />

questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with<br />

a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of<br />

red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are<br />

finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses<br />

or hangman or just draw pictures.<br />

If you’re looking for ideas why not check out<br />

Pintrest. Here you will find every style and every<br />

technique to make sure your home looks like a<br />

Christmas wonderland this festive season.<br />

Christmas sorted<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Bringing movie magic to Ballantynes<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

A PROP maker who has worked<br />

on some of the biggest movies<br />

to be filmed in New Zealand has<br />

helped bring Ballantynes’ iconic<br />

Christmas windows to life this<br />

year.<br />

Simon Hames has led a high<br />

flying career working on the sets<br />

of King Kong and The Lord of the<br />

Rings.<br />

In 1999 he won the Supreme<br />

WOW Award for making wearable<br />

chairs for the World of<br />

Wearable Art festival.<br />

After starting work as a visual<br />

merchandise team member this<br />

year, Mr Hames was tasked with<br />

building the Christmas window.<br />

With the talent of Mr Hames<br />

on board, it was the reason Ballantynes<br />

decided to create the<br />

windows in-house this year as<br />

opposed to outsourcing.<br />

Visual merchandise manager<br />

Danielle Casey, who led the charge<br />

for this year’s theme, also has a<br />

distinguished background in design,<br />

having created windows for<br />

department stores Harrods and<br />

Selfridges in the United Kingdom. ​<br />

Pearl Schwalger-Smith, who<br />

has worked in a range of roles at<br />

Ballantynes in the past 10 years<br />

CHRISTMAS CHEER: The Ballantynes visual merchandise team Pearl Schwalger-Smith, Danielle<br />

Casey and Simon Hames have helped make Christmas more magical for children.<br />

has also been heavily involved in<br />

designing the project.<br />

It is the first time in about 20<br />

years the windows have been<br />

designed in-house.<br />

Miss Casey said the project<br />

has been a “labour of love” with<br />

her team working on it since<br />

April.<br />

She said the theme of mice was<br />

inspired by popular children’s<br />

films featuring mice including<br />

The Borrowers, Mouse Hunt and<br />

Stuart Little.<br />

Ballantynes has made<br />

Christmas extra special for kids<br />

in more ways than one this<br />

year, creating a limited edition<br />

children’s book to match the<br />

window’s theme.<br />

The book called The Merry<br />

Mice of Dunstable House was<br />

donated to every primary school<br />

in the city and Timaru.<br />

The setting for the Christmas<br />

window and book is at Dunstable<br />

House, the original building<br />

where Ballantynes was established<br />

in 1854.<br />

It tells the tale of a little family<br />

of mischievous mice living with<br />

humans at Christmas time.<br />

Ballantynes has also spread<br />

the Christmas cheer by making<br />

its own teddy bears named<br />

Dunstable.<br />

With every teddy bear sold<br />

throughout <strong>December</strong>, one is<br />

donated to the children’s ward at<br />

Christchurch Hospital.<br />

Marketing manager Anna<br />

Powell said Ballantynes wanted<br />

to do a couple of little things for<br />

the community as a way of giving<br />

back at Christmas time.<br />

The Merry Mice of Dunstable<br />

House is on sale for $19 until the<br />

end of <strong>December</strong>.

Halswell teen’s path<br />

to ambulance career<br />

ST JOHN’S national cadet<br />

of the year is 17-year-old<br />

Dominic Anisy, who hopes<br />

to ultimately pursue a<br />

career with the ambulance<br />

service.<br />

Dominic has been a<br />

youth member since 2006,<br />

starting as a penguin at<br />

the Opawa division before<br />

moving to Halswell, where<br />

he is currently a cadet<br />

leader.<br />

He graduated from St<br />

Thomas of Canterbury<br />

College this year.<br />

Dominic was also the<br />

South Island region cadet<br />

of the year and competed<br />

for the national title alongside<br />

Virginia Konelio and<br />

Jeremy Johnston.<br />

Dominic formally took<br />

over the role as national<br />

cadet of the year from Cascade<br />

Price at an investiture<br />

ceremony earlier this<br />

month at the Christchurch<br />

Transitional Cathedral.<br />

Outside St John, Dominic<br />

is a talented graphic<br />

designer having won a<br />

national graphic design<br />

competition to design the<br />

logo of the new St John<br />

intranet.<br />

Dominic also hopes to<br />

receives his certificate from St John chancellor Dr<br />

Steven Evans.<br />

pursue a career with St<br />

John’s frontline ambulance<br />

service or the police force<br />

in future.<br />

“I am really looking<br />

forward to my term as<br />

national cadet of the year.<br />

I am so passionate about St<br />

John youth and I am grateful<br />

for all the fun memories,<br />

life skills and friends<br />

that I have made along the<br />

way,” said Dominic.<br />

St John community<br />

health services director<br />

Sarah Manley said Dominic<br />

will “play a big part in<br />

leading the St John youth<br />

programme’s 15-year<br />

strategy, launched last year<br />

in St John youth’s 90th<br />

year.”<br />

St John youth has about<br />

7500 members, with 193<br />

divisions across New<br />

Zealand.<br />

As part of his cadet<br />

duties, Dominic will lead<br />

Cathedral Grammar<br />

Pre-School located within<br />

the heart of the city<br />

Play, laugh, learn. These are the essential<br />

ingredients for a successful Pre-School<br />

education. These crucial early years are to be<br />

nurtured, shaped and cherished as your child<br />

takes their first steps in education.<br />

Research states that play may be the single<br />

most important things that humans do. “Our<br />

play based learning approach supports your<br />

child as they begin their exciting journey as a<br />

lifelong learner” says Principal Scott Thelning.<br />

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School teaches the<br />

children of tomorrow, today.<br />

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your<br />

whole family is welcomed into the wider<br />

embrace of the Grammar community<br />

services and support as well as smooth<br />

transition to the Junior School and links to the<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

Prep School.<br />

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built<br />

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, your<br />

child will discover by curiosity, investigation<br />

and exploration. Our low child/teacher ratios,<br />

ensure your child’s quality individual and<br />

group learning.<br />

Every advantage is taken of our central<br />

city location to extend our ‘campus’ from the<br />

Botanic Gardens to the Canterbury Museum,<br />

The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o<br />

Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional<br />

Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch<br />

central library) to the emergency services.<br />

Being an inner city Pre-School also gives<br />

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to engage<br />

in your child’s learning if you are working in<br />

the CBD.<br />

Your child will develop essential<br />

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He<br />

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised<br />

facilities, subjects and staff including Art,<br />

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.<br />

When children feel good about themselves<br />

and their abilities, they are able to take flight<br />

and explore, discover, take risks and play,<br />

laugh and learn effectively and successfully.<br />

“Self-esteem is at the core of this development<br />

process” Thelning says.<br />

OBSOLETE equipment<br />

from throughout the city<br />

is getting a new lease<br />

of life in the children’s<br />

playground at Rawhiti<br />

Doman.<br />

The sensory playground<br />

is designed to give all<br />

children, especially those<br />

with special needs, the<br />

opportunity to explore<br />

senses.<br />

The playground was the<br />

brainchild of SmileDial<br />

New Zealand founder<br />

Kelly Dugan.<br />

Mr Dugan, who has a<br />

seven-year-old daughter<br />

with cerebral palsy, came<br />

up with the idea.<br />

Some of the large plastic<br />

traffic sheep that used<br />

to feature on inner city<br />

pavements have been<br />

put out to pasture in the<br />

sensory garden along with<br />

one of the New Brighton<br />

tiny huts.<br />

An avid supporter of<br />

the playground is Citycare<br />

property supervisor Doug<br />

Peek, who is always on<br />

the lookout for items that<br />

can be recycled at the<br />

CREATIVE: Citycare property supervisor Doug Peek<br />

is always on the look-out for items that can be<br />

recycled for the sensory garden at Rawhiti Domain.<br />

playground rather than<br />

sent to landfill.<br />

When it was time to<br />

decide if the hut should<br />

stay or be dismantled, Mr<br />

Peek suggested it be added<br />

to the garden.<br />

“I always keep SmileDial<br />

and the kids in the back of<br />

my mind when out on the<br />

job . . . we are essentially<br />

turning trash into<br />

treasure,” Mr Peek said.<br />

SmileDial receives no<br />

Government funding, only<br />

community support.<br />

organisations like Citycare<br />

we simply wouldn’t exist,”<br />

Children eat<br />

At Kimihia we are very lucky to have<br />

space for vege gardens. Our tamariki are<br />

involved in all aspects of the growing<br />

of vegetables and fruit. Whilst our<br />

strawberries are usually picked and<br />

eaten fresh, most of the vegetables we<br />

grow are used in the meals our Centre<br />

provides. Over the growing season our<br />

garden produced pumpkins, zucchini,<br />

beetroot, tomatoes, beans, basil,<br />

coriander, silverbeet, peas, broccoli,<br />

cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. Giant<br />

sunflowers, nasturtiums and calendulas<br />

provided plenty of colour in the garden.<br />

Our children delighted in being able to<br />

harvest the vegetables thay had grown<br />

and take them to our food preparers. We<br />

have also saved seeds from some of last<br />

year’s veges to plant in the new season’s<br />

garden.<br />

The garden offers so many<br />

opportunities for learning; not only the<br />

connection between garden and plate,<br />

but also how to care for living things,<br />

how to work together and how to live<br />

skin a youthful glow restores<br />

elasticity and leaves the skin<br />

feeling plumper and softer.<br />

is known to hydrate the skin and correct<br />

skin damage over a period of time. It is well<br />

known to help with scars, stretch marks,<br />

age spots, skin pigmentation and reduce<br />

New research on Gingko<br />

Biloba excites researchers!<br />

For decades scientists believed brain<br />

damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />

was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />

not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />

new research has shown that neurons<br />

can grow back with the right conditions<br />

and that a special extract of Gingko<br />

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />

been clinically found to assist in this.<br />

The implications for stroke recovery are<br />

obvious, but researchers also know many<br />

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />

that over a period of time slowly<br />

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />

is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />

supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />

cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />

mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />

alertness, motor function and to help<br />

with many conditions including tinnitus<br />

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />

micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />

flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />

the red blood cells more pliable and<br />

capillary walls more flexible.<br />

TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />

studied and researched herbal products in<br />

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />

extract manufactured via a patented<br />

multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />

tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />

BOOST BRAIN<br />

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%<br />

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

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

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent<br />

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30<br />

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.<br />

Studies on TEBONIN Show:<br />

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement<br />

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.<br />

- Reduces errors made & mental stress.<br />

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

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.<br />

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

balance.<br />

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.<br />

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.<br />

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.<br />

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />

clinical dose without having to take a large<br />

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />

products on the market, and tested by a<br />

major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />

passed all five of the test requirements.<br />

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />

and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />

to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />

considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />

of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />

consumed each day.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham<br />

sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />

many of their middle-aged and senior<br />

clients visit complaining of pain in one or<br />

both hips.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a<br />

back muscle could also be the cause, as<br />

shown in the image.<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />

old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />

through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />

was walking with her stick but without the<br />

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />

one of the factors that made her muscles<br />

spasm but the other was that older people<br />

move less and the flexed position the hip<br />

is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />

although the client was 89 and could have<br />

been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />

pain, she made a difference to her health<br />

Hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

and wellbeing.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise<br />

program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />

the hip, strengthen the important core<br />

muscles and increase general strength and<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />

that stretches the hip in all directions<br />

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />

some maintenance therapy may be<br />

necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />

and, for older patients, better tolerated than<br />

surgery. In very few treatments the client<br />

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

will know if it is going to work for them or<br />

not, without financial commitment.<br />

Physical Sense Gym & Physio is located<br />

at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham.<br />

There is a bus stop in front of the door<br />

and there is ample parking. To enquire<br />

about specialised exercise classes or<br />

A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is”<br />

214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant<br />

Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 <strong>December</strong>, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior<br />

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

Serving as an immaculate example of an as<br />

is, where is property, this partially repaired<br />

four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional<br />

north-facing views over the sea and coastline<br />

offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle.<br />

With remediation three-quarters complete,<br />

the vendors have now exceeded their cap and<br />

don’t wish to proceed any further with the<br />

remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer<br />

this superbly presented home to a new buyer<br />

who can live incredibly comfortably while<br />

they finish the last of the work required in<br />

their own time.<br />

The property’s cladding has been repaired<br />

and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen<br />

exudes modern style with its granite<br />

benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting<br />

from an elevated outlook over the sea that<br />

stretches across to Ferrymead.<br />

The multi-level living layout includes a<br />

breath-taking lounge on the central portion of<br />

the first floor which features a double height<br />

ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to<br />

the space. From there, a small set of steps lead<br />

you up to the kitchen and open plan dining<br />

and living area where you can admire the<br />

unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies<br />

and decks provide outdoor flow and there is<br />

some good flat lawn for children to play.<br />

guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive<br />

on access with turning and internal access<br />

triple car garaging which are further enticing<br />

features of the property.<br />

Located within easy reach of the various<br />

coastal suburbs that lead you around to<br />

Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a<br />

relatively straight-forward commute into the<br />

city centre which will take you less than 20<br />

minutes by car. Zoned and within walking<br />

distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10).<br />

Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this<br />

property offers comfort and presents buyers<br />

with the opportunity to complete the home<br />

to their taste. Possibly the best we have<br />

marketed!<br />

EPOXY<br />

EPOXY grout is a large part of the answer in making sure showers last<br />

the distance. EPOXY grout is 90% non porous. With all the chemicals,<br />

soap residue, mineral deposits and dirt that end up on the shower<br />

base, it really does need EPOXY grout if you want it to last 10+ years.<br />

Replacing cracked tiles, resiliconing shower edges, removing calcium<br />

buildup on shower tiles, regrouting cracked grout and all tile related<br />

issues are part of the Groutpro service.<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 />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

Action looms<br />

on Hawke St<br />

car park<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 />

be l oming.<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />

interest in having input into the<br />

i sue.<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 />

str et operators in Darfield, a<br />

coff e cart is parked beside the<br />

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />

s eing first hand what men and<br />

horses l oked like during war.<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />

Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />

horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />

in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />

sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />

World War 1 and World War 2.<br />

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />

a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />

in World War 1 uniforms while<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

Management Commi t e’s<br />

upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

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

ride horseback to the service.<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 />

te l” to make them aware of what<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

of kits horses were required to<br />

wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Aussie 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 />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

board on Thursday it had the okay<br />

from the city council to make a<br />

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />

for a resource consen to create a<br />

qua ry.<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 qua ries<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 />

advocating” for the Templeton<br />

community.<br />
