“Easiest to find Denture<br />

Clinic in Christchurch”<br />

Jake’s new challenge<br />

Coast to<br />

Coast<br />

looms for<br />

cancer<br />

survivor<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

AS A CHILD Jake Bailey was not<br />

the sporting type.<br />

But at 21-years-old, he is taking<br />

on the Coast to Coast next<br />

month.<br />

The cancer survivor made<br />

international headlines in 2015<br />

with his gripping speech about<br />

his shock diagnosis as head boy<br />

of Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

School.<br />

Mr Bailey was told he had two<br />

weeks to live after finding out<br />

he had Burkitt’s Non-Hodgkins<br />

Lymphoma, the fastest growing<br />

cancer known to man.<br />

During the Coast to Coast he<br />

will tackle the 160km cycle part<br />

of the event over two days, in a<br />

team with two old school friends,<br />

who will take on the kayak and<br />

run legs.<br />

Since beating his cancer and<br />

announcing he was in remission<br />

in <strong>January</strong> 2016, Mr Bailey has<br />

been working full-time as a<br />

public speaker. He has shared<br />

his story and what it taught him<br />

across almost 50 cities around<br />

the world.<br />

Now living on the Gold Coast,<br />

Mr Bailey is also the author<br />

What Cancer Taught Me and<br />

features in the documentary The<br />

Common Touch, which is about<br />

his cancer journey.<br />

He will return to Christchurch<br />

next month to compete in<br />

the event he calls “iconic” to<br />

Canterbury.<br />

As a young boy, Mr Bailey<br />

would go with his father to watch<br />

the end of the Coast to Coast.<br />

But he said he “never dreamed<br />

of taking part.”<br />

Mr Bailey’s close call with<br />

death has serve as his motivation<br />

for getting into endurance sport.<br />

“In both a practical sense,<br />

because it minimises my risk of<br />

relapse and makes sure my body<br />

is fit and in an emotional, mental<br />

and personal sense.”<br />

He said he’s developed an<br />

“obsession” in learning what his<br />

body is capable of.<br />

“Going through cancer<br />

treatment and seeing what my<br />

body could withstand, I have<br />

grown a fascination with what<br />

the body can do and putting<br />

mind over matter and having<br />

mental strength. That’s why<br />

endurance sport appeals to me,<br />

it’s a battle between your head<br />

and your body to push yourself.”<br />

Over the last four months,<br />

Mr Bailey has completed<br />

triathlon events, something<br />

which came as a shock to him<br />

as he could not swim more than<br />

25m a year ago.<br />

“I did fairly poorly,” he said.<br />

“But I really enjoyed them.”<br />

THAT’S ONE amazing story on page 1<br />

today.<br />

Jake Bailey, the young bloke who gained<br />

international attention in 2015 with his<br />

gripping speech about his shock cancer<br />

diagnosis, is competing in the Coast to<br />

Coast. He had been given two weeks to live.<br />

Jake’s now 21 and resides on the Gold Coast and is living life<br />

to the fullest.<br />

He will take part in the team event. Jake will do the cycle leg<br />

of 160km while his two mates will run and kayak.<br />

That cycle leg could be savage if there is an easterly wind<br />

blowing.<br />

It will be like biking into a brick wall.<br />

Not bad for someone who was never into sport. It is amazing<br />

what determination can do.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

$20k needed for pool study<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

FINDING $20,000 to pay for a<br />

feasibility study into a pool in<br />

Edgeware is a new priority for<br />

the community group behind the<br />

project.<br />

The St Albans Pavilion and<br />

Pool Group is using a Givealittle<br />

page to raise<br />

money for the<br />

study, which<br />

will assess the<br />

practicality<br />

of the new<br />

Edgeware Pool<br />

designs and<br />

whether it will<br />

Pauline Cotter<br />

be an asset to<br />

the community.<br />

After the<br />

study, the group can then apply<br />

for money from major charitable<br />

funding groups to build the pool.<br />

In 2016, the city council sold<br />

the land for the Edgeware Pool to<br />

the St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />

Group for $1.<br />

The city council stated at<br />

the time it would not contribute<br />

to the project, but later said it<br />

would commit $1.25 million if<br />

the group could raise the rest of<br />

the $5 million cost.<br />

So far, more than $150,000 has<br />

been raised for the project, which<br />

has been used to cover other costs<br />

DESIGN: The group behind the Edgeware Pool plan needs $20,000 to undertake a feasibility<br />

“The support has been fantastic<br />

from the community. It will<br />

be a fantastic facility as we<br />

are a growing suburb and the<br />

population is increasing,” said<br />

community member Lynne<br />

O’Keefe.<br />

Mrs O’Keefe said monthly<br />

public fundraising quizzes<br />

attended by the public at Bailies<br />

Bar and Restaurant have been a<br />

huge part of fundraising.<br />

Innes Ward city councillor<br />

Pauline Cotter has been behind<br />

the group since it began.<br />

“The reason I’m so passionate<br />

about this is that it’s so important<br />

for young kids, particularly in<br />

that 10-17 age bracket to have<br />

a safe environment for them to<br />

hang out,” said Cr Cotter.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

What it takes to remove the chlorine<br />

With the<br />

clock ticking<br />

on the city<br />

council’s<br />

self-imposed<br />

deadline<br />

to end<br />

temporary<br />

chlorination of the<br />

water supply within<br />

12 months, water<br />

supply improvement<br />

programme manager<br />

Helen Beaumont gives<br />

an update on how the<br />

work is tracking<br />

IT HAS been a year since the city<br />

council voted to temporarily add<br />

chlorine to the drinking water<br />

supply in response to advice from<br />

the Canterbury Medical Officer<br />

of Health.<br />

Over the past few months we<br />

have made significant progress<br />

on upgrading the wells that<br />

supply our water so that we<br />

can get back to having an<br />

unchlorinated water supply.<br />

To date we have upgraded<br />

25 per cent of our wells – by<br />

volume of water produced – to<br />

bring them up to a standard<br />

that exceeds the present<br />

requirements.<br />

We’ve set the bar higher than<br />

required because we anticipate<br />

that more stringent standards<br />

will be introduced by the<br />

Government shortly.<br />

Upgrading each well takes<br />

between two and six weeks and<br />

we can only work on a limited<br />

number of wells at any one time<br />

because we still to need supply<br />

water to homes and businesses.<br />

We have been running a water<br />

conservation campaign asking<br />

people to use less water so we can<br />

continue work on the wells and<br />

we really appreciate the efforts<br />

people have been making.<br />

Our data shows average water<br />

use to date is well below the<br />

summer averages for the past two<br />

years. If that keeps up we should<br />

be able to continue with the well<br />

remediation work as planned.<br />

By May we expect to have<br />

completed interim upgrades on<br />

19 below-ground wells and raised<br />

another 41 wells above ground,<br />

bringing the total number of<br />

secure wells to 98.<br />

Those wells collectively provide<br />

more than 60 per cent of the<br />

city’s water supply.<br />

If we upgrade those wells<br />

as planned, we should<br />

have a sufficient volume of<br />

unchlorinated water to supply<br />

the city over the winter months<br />

when we use about 50 per cent<br />

less water than we do in the<br />

summer.<br />

However, even after doing this<br />

work, providing chlorine-free<br />

water to everyone in every part of<br />

the city remains a challenge.<br />

The water supply is delivered<br />

through nine discrete zones.<br />

The central zone is our biggest<br />

water zone and supplies water to<br />

42 per cent of the population. It<br />

is the oldest part of the city and<br />

where we have the most wells<br />

that need to be raised above<br />

ground.<br />

There is high demand for water<br />

relative to the available capacity<br />

in this zone and, therefore, very<br />

little excess capacity. This makes<br />

it difficult to do the necessary<br />

upgrades.<br />

To address the challenge in<br />

the central zone, in addition<br />

to the interim upgrades on<br />

below-ground wells, we are also<br />

working to install ultra violet<br />

treatment at the main pump<br />

station.<br />

The main pump station is the<br />

biggest supplier of water to the<br />

central zone, and we are working<br />

with the contractor on ways that<br />

the installation can be sped up<br />

so water can be treated with UV<br />

instead of chlorine at this site.<br />

We are also looking at whether<br />

we can transfer water across zone<br />

boundaries.<br />

There are technical challenges<br />

because of the different pressure<br />

levels in some of the zones.<br />

However, it may be possible<br />

for us to use some of the pump<br />

stations on the boundaries of the<br />

central zone to push untreated<br />

water into that area.<br />

In addition, we are<br />

investigating whether we can<br />

make use of two private wells on<br />

the Metro Sports Facility site.<br />

They tap into deep aquifers<br />

and were originally drilled for a<br />

ground-source heat pump that is<br />

no longer required.<br />

They may be suitable to supply<br />

potable water to homes and<br />

businesses in the central zone.<br />

We are confident that seven of<br />

the nine city supply zones will be<br />

chlorine free by May this year.<br />

It is likely that we will have<br />

sufficient water from secure wells<br />

in the Ferrymead zone, and we<br />

are doing further modelling of<br />

water supply options and looking<br />

at opportunities to fast track<br />

works in the central zone.<br />

In the meantime, we are also<br />

looking at how we can reduce the<br />

amount of chlorine in the water.<br />

At the pump stations where<br />

the chlorine has two minutes to<br />

react with the water and disinfect<br />

it before it reaches the first<br />

consumer we have been able to<br />

halve the dose of chlorine.<br />

We are now looking at whether<br />

we can re-route the water at some<br />

of the other pump stations so we<br />

can give the chlorine a longer<br />

time to do its job before it reaches<br />

the first consumer.<br />

For example, if we can send the<br />

water around the block before<br />

it reaches people’s homes, there<br />

may be other pump stations<br />

where we can also reduce the<br />

dose.<br />

Each pump station has<br />

between one and six wells<br />

supplying it. Where some wells<br />

are remediated and some are not,<br />

we have to chlorinate all of the<br />

water unless we can isolate<br />

the wells that haven’t been<br />

remediated.<br />

We can only do that when the<br />

demand for water is low.<br />

When there are periods of<br />

low demand we aim to only use<br />

pump stations without chlorine.<br />

It is only when absolutely<br />

necessary, as water demand<br />

rises, that we bring the<br />

chlorinated pump stations into<br />

service.<br />

We all want the chlorine out<br />

of our water and we are working<br />

hard to ensure we can have an<br />

unchlorinated water supply as<br />

soon as possible.<br />

Breaking down boundaries by being<br />

POPULAR: Mummy blogger Rebecca Keil at home with her two children Ruby and Rocky.<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

REBECCA KEIL describes<br />

herself as “not very vanilla.”<br />

But that trait is what led her to<br />

become an online sensation, that<br />

has brands such as Countdown,<br />

Netflix and Jetstar wanting to<br />

work with her.<br />

The 25-year-old attributes<br />

her online success and<br />

unconventional income solely to<br />

being a conventional, everyday<br />

mother.<br />

Online, Mrs Keil, of<br />

Bishopdale, shares reviews<br />

of a variety of products from<br />

nappies to Tim Tams, helpful<br />

tips and hacks, recipes and ‘her<br />

truths’ about pregnancy and<br />

motherhood.<br />

The mummy-blogger has close<br />

to 24,000 Instagram followers,<br />

her posts can receive up to 1500<br />

‘likes’ and her story posts gain on<br />

average 8000 views.<br />

On YouTube, Mrs Keil has<br />

clocked up more than 1.2 million<br />

views.<br />

But it all began with a blog,<br />

Rocky and Ruby, also the names<br />

of her five-year-old son and threeyear-old<br />

daughter.<br />

In 2015, mummy-blogging was<br />

gaining traction globally and Mrs<br />

Keil spotted a gap in the market<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

She attributes her success to<br />

a candid, raw and authentic<br />

approach to motherhood and<br />

parenting.<br />

“Online, everyone had<br />

beautiful homes, perfect lifestyles<br />

and lots of money, that was what I<br />

was seeing,” she said.<br />

“I was like s**t, why isn’t my<br />

life like this? You begin to<br />

question everything. I just<br />

wanted to be raw, honest and<br />

show that my family and I didn’t<br />

need to fit into a mould to feel<br />

good enough.”<br />

With this logic, her first post<br />

began with advice on ‘pregnancy<br />

hacks’ and she shared the good,<br />

bad and the ugly.<br />

“It just took off, it went<br />

really crazy . . . I was talking<br />

about things that people weren’t<br />

talking about – things that may<br />

have been taboo or “not cool”<br />

to talk about, such as money<br />

and how hard it is at times like<br />

Christmas.”<br />

Two and a half years later,<br />

Rocky and Ruby had become<br />

a rapid success across many<br />

different platforms.<br />

When Mrs Keil’s readership<br />

was averaging between<br />

20-30,000 views a month, she<br />

began working with brands<br />

who wanted to advertise to her<br />

“It was so exciting, I thought<br />

that’s it, I’ve made it, send me to<br />

Hollywood,” she joked.<br />

Mrs Keil put up a photo on<br />

her Instagram of her and other<br />

mothers at McCafe with their<br />

children.<br />

“I will get sent through a brief<br />

of what they would like, their target<br />

audience, their message. Then<br />

the rest is totally up to me, I’ve<br />

never been censored, I’m not very<br />

vanilla, that’s what they say about<br />

me in the media world.”<br />

In one of her most outrageous<br />

blog posts, Mrs Keil talked<br />

about sex after having babies, to<br />

promote an organic lubrication<br />

company who had reached out<br />

to her.<br />

Now, Mrs Keil has her own<br />

agent and is planning to launch a<br />

website, The Mother Yarns.<br />

She’s completed several tours<br />

around New Zealand, selling<br />

more than 1200 tickets, to people<br />

who want to hear her speak.<br />

One tour helped Mrs Keil and<br />

her husband, Jared Keil, buy their<br />

first home.<br />

On the same tour, she raised<br />

$15,000 for Lifelife Helpline.<br />

“One thing I am passionate<br />

about as an influencer is giving<br />

back to the community. People’s<br />

spent their hard-earned money to<br />

see me, and helped me to buy<br />

a house, so I wanted to give<br />

back.”<br />

Currently, Mrs Keil has ceased<br />

her blog-writing, to work on<br />

launching the brand, where she<br />

hopes to expand her content from<br />

her own life to other women’s<br />

experiences through motherhood<br />

and parenting.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Preparing for an ageing population<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

WORK IS ramping up on<br />

another big retirement village in<br />

the north-west.<br />

The main building of the<br />

$100 million Summerset on<br />

Cavendish, a 7ha complex in<br />

Casebrook, will be completed<br />

later this year.<br />

Spokeswoman Jenny Bridgen<br />

said it expects the building at<br />

the Cavendish Rd site to be<br />

fully operational by December,<br />

with the rest of the site to be<br />

completed by 2021.<br />

It will be one of three<br />

Summerset villages to open in<br />

Christchurch, with the others in<br />

Avonhead and Wigram.<br />

The main building will offer<br />

an award-winning Memory Care<br />

Centre for people affected by<br />

dementia, the first of its kind in<br />

Canterbury, with 20 apartmentstyle<br />

rooms and specialised care<br />

for retirees with fully-developed<br />

dementia.<br />

Mrs Bridgen said the main<br />

building will provide a permanent<br />

“heart” for the new village,<br />

including a movie theatre, chapel,<br />

café, hair salon, shop and on-site<br />

care centre for 36 residents<br />

Summerset’s first memory care<br />

centre opened in Levin at Summerset<br />

by the Ranges in 2016.<br />

It won the Aged Care Association’s<br />

built and grown environment<br />

award for its design in 2017<br />

and was accredited for its services<br />

by Alzheimer’s New Zealand last<br />

year.<br />

These centres are set to be<br />

incorporated into all of Summerset’s<br />

new village locations, including<br />

Summerset at Avonhead,<br />

which will open about June.<br />

As Summerset is working to<br />

becoming a ‘dementia friendly’<br />

organisation by 2020, its staff will<br />

be trained in dementia awareness<br />

to meet the international<br />

standards in helping people<br />

affected by mild to fully<br />

developed dementia to live their<br />

best lives.<br />

“I think our memory care<br />

is really important because it<br />

helps our dementia residents<br />

maintain their independence in a<br />

really secure environment,” said<br />

Summerset on Cavendish village<br />

manager Stephanie Meehan.<br />

The Cavendish Rd site has been<br />

in development for 18 months so<br />

far and has required about 250<br />

tradespeople.<br />

There are 73 current residents,<br />

who have occupied 42 completed<br />

units since March last year.<br />

The village will have 270 units<br />

in total once completed.<br />

“It’s been a privilege to be the<br />

manager of a developing village.<br />

You don’t get that opportunity<br />

very often,” said Ms Meehan.<br />

CONSTRUCTION: The main<br />

building of the $100 million<br />

Summerset on Cavendish will<br />

be operational by December.<br />

Celebrating 40 years of Aratupu<br />

PLAY: Young photographer Shakaia Nepia, 5, tries to get friends<br />

Harrison George, 5, and Peaches Te Whata, 4, to smile.<br />

• Jess Gibson<br />

BOUNCY CASTLES, games,<br />

music and a sausage sizzle will<br />

be ready for families to enjoy on<br />

Friday.<br />

Staff from a Papanui preschool<br />

sent out an open invitation to<br />

families in the community to<br />

join it in celebrating its 40th<br />

birthday from 3.30-5.30pm on<br />

Friday.<br />

The party will commemorate<br />

Aratupu Preschool and<br />

Nursery’s long dedication to<br />

supporting parents in raising<br />

their children.<br />

Aratupu, formerly known as<br />

Fairhaven Daycare Centre, was<br />

built in front of the Methodist<br />

Mission Children’s home on<br />

Harewood Rd in 1978 as a<br />

place for young children to visit<br />

during the day.<br />

When the children’s home<br />

stopped operating soon<br />

after, Aratupu continued to<br />

provide care for children in<br />

the community with the help<br />

of the Christchurch Methodist<br />

Mission.<br />

It had a strong focus on<br />

supporting young, single<br />

mothers to raise and provide for<br />

their children.<br />

Today, the same focus<br />

remains, including a more<br />

holistic approach which aims to<br />

provide a wraparound service<br />

for all families.<br />

Most of the children enrolled<br />

are from young single parent<br />

families who rely on a benefit or<br />

have a low income, with many<br />

receiving the Work and Income<br />

child care subsidy.<br />

Aratupu practice lead Marcia<br />

Manson-Glover said it is<br />

important for staff to play a vital<br />

role in “supporting families<br />

beyond Aratupu’s walls and<br />

creating the best possible home<br />

environment as well.”<br />

“It takes a village to raise<br />

a child, we know that some<br />

whanau don’t have support<br />

systems or that they struggle to<br />

get the support that they need,”<br />

said Mrs Manson-Glover.<br />

The network of services<br />

provided by Aratupu for families<br />

includes an on site whanau<br />

support worker, community<br />

health worker, whanau room,<br />

parenting courses, child and<br />

parent groups, contracted<br />

facilitators and access to all<br />

Christchurch Methodist Mission<br />

services.<br />

Children are also fed with<br />

a cooked lunch every day,<br />

and Aratupu’s partnership<br />

with Pegasus Health ensures<br />

all children are enrolled with<br />

primary health services such as a<br />

GP and dentist.<br />

Aratupu was awarded the<br />

whanau healthy heart award<br />

from the Heart Foundation.<br />

The award recognised<br />

the preschool as having an<br />

environment that promotes<br />

healthy eating and physical<br />

activity.<br />

Mrs Manson-Glover has<br />

worked at Aratupu for 10 years<br />

and said she has seen generations<br />

of families come through.<br />

“One particular mother<br />

brought her children here and<br />

later became a teacher. Now her<br />

daughter is about to give birth<br />

and she’s on the wait list,” she<br />

said.<br />

“Another family with<br />

six children is about to leave<br />

after 18 years. That’s going to be<br />

a big loss for us.”<br />

“It’s that long-standing<br />

relationship at Aratupu that’s<br />

always really relied on,” said Mrs<br />

Manson-Glover.<br />

On Friday, she said she is<br />

hoping to see a lot of old faces<br />

back and connections.<br />

But also wants to meet new<br />

people and families to connect<br />

with them.<br />

Young footballers<br />

take on Japan’s best<br />

ON TOUR: Seamus Gallagher and Nicholas Murphy leaving<br />

Christchurch in their new Phoenix gear.<br />

CHRISTCHURCH United<br />

youngsters Seamus Gallagher and<br />

Nicholas Murphy have been on<br />

tour in Japan with the Wellington<br />

Phoenix Soccer School.<br />

The two Christchurch United<br />

under-12 players were invited<br />

by the Phoenix management<br />

to strengthen the squad for a<br />

demanding two-week, 10-match<br />

tour against some of Japan’s<br />

leading clubs.<br />

Christchurch United Academy<br />

director Colin Williamson said<br />

the tour was a unique occasion<br />

for Seamus, who attends St<br />

Thomas of Canterbury College,<br />

and Nicholas, who will start at St<br />

Bede’s College this year, to test<br />

their skills at a higher level.<br />

“Seamus and Nicholas are two<br />

players with great potential and it<br />

will be interesting to see how they<br />

will do playing alongside other<br />

strong players against top youth<br />

teams,” said Williamson.<br />

Japanese football has created<br />

a global reputation for youth<br />

player development and its junior<br />

and senior teams have been<br />

impressive at FIFA tournaments<br />

across all age-groups.<br />

The Phoenix side arrived on<br />

<strong>January</strong> 10 and the next day<br />

received a stark warning of what<br />

to expect when they were well<br />

beaten 7-1 in their first match<br />

TEAMMATES: Nicholas Murphy (top row, third from right) and<br />

Seamus Gallagher (eighth from right) after their match against<br />

the Yokohama Marinos.<br />

against JEF United, one of Japan’s<br />

leading first division clubs.<br />

The Phoenix lads and their<br />

new Christchurch teammates<br />

bounced back well, beating an<br />

Ichihara BONZ school team, and<br />

then improved even further in a<br />

4-1 win over the local Ichihara<br />

under-12 selection, with Seamus<br />

setting up the third goal.<br />

They then moved to the Tokyo<br />

suburb of Kanagawa where they<br />

played Yokohama Marinos, the<br />

wealthiest club in Japan with<br />

a famous academy that has<br />

produced some of the country’s<br />

biggest names.<br />

The young New Zealanders<br />

showed how much they had<br />

progressed since their heavy first<br />

game defeat by competing well<br />

with their Japanese peers.<br />

It was an even contest at 1-1<br />

at the break, but they allowed<br />

Yokohama to pull away in the<br />

final stages of the 70min game for<br />

an admirable 2-4 defeat.<br />

Phoenix Soccer School director<br />

Jo Dawkins said the boys were in<br />

tears after the match.<br />

“Not because they lost, but<br />

because they knew they deserved<br />

something out of it.”<br />

She said it was one of the closest<br />

results achieved by a junior New<br />

Zealand team.<br />

Things did not get easier as the<br />

young Kiwis faced other J-League<br />

clubs Kawasaki Frontale and<br />

Kashima Reysol.<br />

The players also got a full<br />

cultural immersion while in<br />

Japan, staying three nights<br />

with the families of their<br />

Japanese opponents in the city<br />

of Kashiwa.<br />

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

money’.<br />

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

superfood ingredients.<br />

eluctant netballer to top coach<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

WHEN SARA Norton was<br />

11-years-old she was reluctantly<br />

dragged out onto the netball<br />

court – and she vowed to never<br />

play the sport again.<br />

“I couldn’t shoot and I hated it<br />

. . . that was my only experience<br />

with netball,” she said. Now<br />

three decades later, the Avonhead<br />

resident has been presented with<br />

a major coaching award from<br />

Netball New Zealand.<br />

Norton, 44, was named<br />

community coach of the year at<br />

the 2018 Netball Coach Awards<br />

Norton credits her youngest<br />

daughter for starting her career<br />

in netball. Fifteen years ago,<br />

her then six-year-old daughter<br />

decided she wanted to play<br />

netball.<br />

But because the primary school<br />

she attended had no coach,<br />

Norton had no choice but to “step<br />

up.”<br />

While she had to “very<br />

quickly” teach herself how to<br />

teach others to play the game,<br />

she soon found she had a flair for<br />

coaching.<br />

The Hornby Netball Club<br />

coach and Christchurch Netball<br />

Centre junior co-ordinator said<br />

she “couldn’t believe it” when she<br />

won the award.<br />

“I do a lot of coaching and<br />

I work really hard. I do that<br />

because I want to do my best for<br />

TOP COACH: Avonhead’s Sara Norton, who was named Netball New Zealand community coach<br />

of the year, with her Hornby Netball Club Founders Trophy.<br />

the girls that I coach. But never<br />

at any point did I even think<br />

about things like (the award). It is<br />

incredible,” she said.<br />

The award capped off a big year<br />

for Norton who was presented<br />

the Founders Trophy by Hornby<br />

Netball Club founder Lynlea<br />

Willan at the September senior<br />

prize-giving.<br />

She was then awarded coach<br />

of the year by the Christchurch<br />

SPORTS<br />

Netball Centre.<br />

Norton said she is happiest as a<br />

coach when she sees a player who<br />

has struggled in the sport make<br />

an improvement by the end of the<br />

netball season.<br />

“If you can get good results that<br />

is fantastic, but there are always<br />

going to be times when your<br />

results aren’t so good,” she said.<br />

Norton said a key thing is<br />

being able to get people on the<br />

team involved in their own<br />

learning.<br />

“Most people want to be better<br />

at what they are doing and the<br />

only way of doing that is if they<br />

are actually doing it,” she said.<br />

“We have got some wonderful<br />

league players, wonderful rugby<br />

players, basketball, netball. You<br />

name it, we have got it,” she said.<br />

Norton has coached more than<br />

20 teams, including Hornby<br />

Senior A, Middleton Grange A<br />

and the under-14 Christchurch<br />

Netball Centre representative<br />

teams.<br />

“I think for anyone who takes<br />

coaching seriously, being able to<br />

do it professionally is always the<br />

goal . . . if I can take it further<br />

great, and if I can’t, I will just<br />

keep on going.”<br />

Selling a property at the same time as finding your next home<br />

can be a stressful juggling-act. However, Mike Pero Bishopdale<br />

North, run by husband and wife team Ian and Cathy Falconer,<br />

are on hand to bring their unique and very client-friendly<br />

approach to real estate and support you through the whole<br />

process. Part of the Mike Pero franchise, their aim is to make<br />

the experience less daunting. They have been through the<br />

same experiences as their clients, having found homes both<br />

to raise their family and for elderly relatives, so they can<br />

appreciate what their sellers and buyers are going through<br />

and what their specific needs are.<br />

Their new venture is based on firm roots and a heap of<br />

experience. Now married for almost three decades, the couple<br />

started married life in Bishopdale, and are passionate about<br />

supporting the area. Cathy has been the Bishopdale Pink<br />

Ribbon volunteer coordinator for the past seven years and<br />

locals are sure to have seen Ian dressed in pink fundraising to<br />

support the cause. This energetic couple has also embraced<br />

the Eat My Lunch appeal to help Kiwi children in need. They<br />

strongly believe in giving back and in being part of the<br />

community.<br />

That carries over in how much they care about their clients.<br />

“It is important to us that we are not intimidating,” explains<br />

Cathy. They are a down-to-earth couple who want to make<br />

a difference to their clients’ lives. Their own experience<br />

of raising children means they know what a family needs,<br />

and Cathy’s experience in the travel sector helps her to<br />

understand a client then work out what will suit them best.<br />

Selling up and moving house needs attention to detail and<br />

an understanding of timelines, something they both excel<br />

at. Ian’s experience as a chef, in retail and as a manager of<br />

supermarkets, gives him the ability to meet the real needs of<br />

real people by making the commercial world user-friendly.<br />

Cathy and Ian’s friendliness, kindness, and desire to help<br />

their clients really shine through. Their aim is to help you<br />

sell your current property so you can find the right home for<br />

your family to happily grow up in, or for empty-nesters to<br />

comfortably grow old in.<br />

TESTIMONIALS<br />

I would like to sincerely thank you for the incredible<br />

result you achieved in selling my brothers home.<br />

You managed to sell the property within our<br />

expected pricing and also within a very short time<br />

frame indeed. I believe that your commitment and<br />

dedication to both myself and Brenda as clients has<br />

been unsurpassed. Your focus on the end result<br />

was beyond question and your detailed reporting<br />

much appreciated I would have no hesitation<br />

in recommending yourself to others who value<br />

professionalism, honesty and integrity. Thank you.<br />

- Murray<br />

anyone wanting to sell. Thank you Ian and all the staff<br />

at your office.<br />

-Margaret<br />

Ian sold our house for us recently and made the<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

1 in 2 people<br />

deficient in B12<br />

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />

Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />

Center found those most deficient<br />

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />

brain mass and the lowest scores on<br />

tests measuring short-term memory,<br />

concentration and brain performance.<br />

Another study showed that older people<br />

with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />

have bigger, healthier brains and score<br />

higher on cognitive tests than those with<br />

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark<br />

study showed that B12 supplementation<br />

slows the accelerated rate of brain<br />

shrinkage and declining cognitive function.<br />

B12 is essential for energy production, cell<br />

health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,<br />

nerve health and repair, and prevention<br />

of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />

risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />

and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also<br />

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard<br />

researchers found<br />

a 34% decrease<br />

risk of vision<br />

loss in a study<br />

of participants<br />

aged 40+ who<br />

supplemented with<br />

B12. Another study<br />

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />

subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />

The reason so many people lack B12<br />

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />

it declining with age as the digestive<br />

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />

medication and other drugs further reduce<br />

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and<br />

thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in<br />

the body.<br />

The tree of LIFE<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 />

IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?<br />

Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,<br />

difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs<br />

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.<br />

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain<br />

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against<br />

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,<br />

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.<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 />

course, with NCEA built in<br />

For those looking for a role that combines<br />

artistic and digital talents, then this<br />

outstanding, FREE, entry level course<br />

delivered by local Training Provider Trainme,<br />

is perfect for those wishing to pursue, graphic<br />

design, photography or digital media as a<br />

and create their own design concepts while<br />

collaborating with other students on creative<br />

projects.<br />

This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19<br />

and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join.<br />

Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if<br />

they show artistic or digital aptitude.<br />

“Many feel that school is not working for<br />

them or they left without qualifications,”<br />

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary<br />

educator Trainme. “While not necessarily<br />

academically minded, they do have artistic<br />

talents and are very much into digital<br />

technology.”<br />

“This FREE six-month Trainme course,<br />

combines these in a very hands-on, practical<br />

way, giving them an intro<br />

into various digital media.<br />

This way, they can decide<br />

which direction to pursue<br />

as their career focus.”<br />

programme, NCEA credits<br />

are built in, so if they<br />

apply themselves, they<br />

can graduate with a New<br />

Zealand Certificate in Arts<br />

and Design Level 2, as well<br />

as gaining credits towards NCEA level 1 or<br />

2.” Says Pollard.<br />

“NCEA results will depend on how many<br />

credits they bring to the course to start with,<br />

but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel like school<br />

at all.”<br />

A classic Kiwiana bach<br />

46 Bayview Road, Charteris Bay<br />

Price: $405,000<br />

3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 kitchen/dining room | 1 living room | Off-street parking | Listing Number: 8375<br />

Think Marmite, Pavlova, the All Blacks,<br />

Buzzy Bees etc. etc., this quirky character<br />

filled 3 bedroom classic bach takes us back<br />

to a time when life was simple and less<br />

complicated.<br />

Nestled amongst large mature Manuka<br />

and native trees and enjoying some of<br />

the very best uninterrupted views in the<br />

Harbour this wee charmer is on the market<br />

for the first time in about 60 years. Set on<br />

2 levels, private, sunny and with off-street<br />

parking.<br />

The living area which is upstairs to take<br />

in those magnificent views has a woodburner<br />

to keep things cosy. An added<br />

bonus is a sleep-out set away from the<br />

house and the 979m 2 site is bush clad so no<br />

lawns to mow.<br />

Only approx. 25 minutes drive from<br />

the city come and discover the beauty<br />

of Charteris Bay and all the area has to<br />

offer including Orton Bradley Park and<br />

golf course, beautiful walks and beaches,<br />

nearby tennis courts and cafés and a short<br />

ferry trip to check out Lyttelton.<br />

Being so close to the city makes these<br />

baches very useable, no more hours in<br />

the car and it feels like you are in another<br />

world.<br />
