Stroke victim worried about tree<br />

Bid to remove<br />

it after power<br />

cut to house<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

AT 65, Rabeena Bailey has<br />

suffered several strokes, has a<br />

heart condition and needs an<br />

oxygen pump at night.<br />

But one of her biggest battles<br />

is trying to get a 10m american<br />

sweetgum tree, which has previoulsy<br />

cut power to her house<br />

on Northfield Rd, Casebrook,<br />

removed from the berm outside.<br />

Mrs Bailey and her husband<br />

Graham, 67, have had problems<br />

with the council-owned tree<br />

since its roots were uplifted and<br />

it became unsteady in the <strong>February</strong><br />

22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

However, due to the tree’s<br />

height, it is protected in the<br />

District Plan and would need<br />

resource consent to be removed.<br />

Unless the Baileys can provide<br />

enough evidence that the<br />

tree is a risk to residents and<br />

infrastructure, the council will<br />

not foot the bill for the tree’s<br />

removal. Lodging the application<br />

to get it removed would cost the<br />

Baileys $1500 and they would<br />

be liable for any hearings costs<br />

afterwards.<br />

Mrs Bailey said it is unfair<br />

she and Mr Bailey are taking<br />

on the burden of a tree which is<br />

not on their property. During a<br />

storm in July, Mrs Bailey ran an<br />

extension cord from upstairs to<br />

her downstairs bedroom to get<br />

power for her oxygen pump, after<br />

the tree’s roots cut the power to<br />

the bottom floor of her house for<br />

three days. “I was so scared,” said<br />

Mrs Bailey.<br />

Trouble with fallen branches,<br />

power outages, ruptured concrete<br />

and a damaged fence have<br />

the Baileys worried what will<br />

come next.<br />

“The branches are just falling<br />

off, it’s falling apart and you can<br />

see that the leaves are all dying,”<br />

said Mrs Bailey.<br />

Papanui-<br />

Innes<br />

Community<br />

Board member<br />

John<br />

Stringer<br />

believes<br />

the Baileys<br />

should not<br />

have to pay<br />

the price for<br />

the council-owned tree.<br />

John Stringer<br />

Mr Stringer requested the removal<br />

of the tree in August, but<br />

an assessment by a city council<br />

arborist stated there was “no<br />

reason” to remove it.<br />

The arborist report from<br />

November acknowledged<br />

engineers had made repairs to<br />

the footpath in 2016 and utility<br />

operators fixed underground<br />

services in 2018 after a storm.<br />

In spite of the repairs, the tree<br />

was found to be in good health<br />

and of value to the community<br />

and the environment, with an<br />

estimated worth of $11,000.<br />

But Mr Stringer said the tree is<br />

costing ratepayers and residents<br />

more than it’s worth.<br />

BRIAN AND Janet Lovelock have done it<br />

again.<br />

The green fingered Northwood couple<br />

have taken out seven awards at the<br />

Christchurch Beautifying Association<br />

summer garden competition (see page 5).<br />

Keeping a good garden is hard work and as the Lovelocks tell<br />

reporter Jess Gibson, they are basically in the garden every day.<br />

Knowledge and skill is also a big part of a top garden.<br />

But on page 1 today, Rabeena Bailey has a different view on a<br />

big tree outside her Casebrook home.<br />

She wants the city council to get rid of it.<br />

It is causing Rabeena all sorts of problems as we outline.<br />

The problem is, the tree is protected. It will be a protracted<br />

exercise to have something done about it.<br />

Planned Harewood loos to cost $1m<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

TWO NEW toilet blocks at Roto<br />

Kohatu Reserve in Harewood<br />

could cost ratepayers up to $1<br />

million.<br />

The site on Sawyers Arms<br />

Rd, which currently only has<br />

portaloos, will get two separate<br />

toilet blocks<br />

due to the high<br />

number of<br />

annual visitors<br />

to Lake Roto<br />

Kohatu and<br />

Lake Rua.<br />

The ​public<br />

Aaron Keown<br />

will soon<br />

have their say<br />

on the toilet<br />

plans. Each block will have two<br />

cubicles and an outside shower.<br />

The cost would be $282,806<br />

for each building and $440,000<br />

to connect them up to services.<br />

But Harewood city councillor<br />

Aaron Keown said the<br />

“unbelievably high cost” is<br />

necessary.<br />

“It’s so expensive because it’s<br />

not near a road and half the<br />

money is just getting the services<br />

like the fresh water and the<br />

electricity in, which have to be in<br />

two different trenches,” said Cr<br />

Keown.<br />

“You can’t do a half-baked job<br />

on toilets like this,” he said.<br />

The cost would also include<br />

underground services​ for wastewater<br />

disposal.<br />

In January, city councillor<br />

Glenn Livingstone said the<br />

cost of a new $1 million toilet<br />

block at QE II Park was “too<br />

extravagant.”<br />

“You can build a good house<br />

for $350,000, which includes<br />

the infrastructure, sewage and<br />

water, so I’m not sure what they<br />

have in mind for $1 million,”<br />

said Cr Livingstone.<br />

However, the popularity<br />

of Roto Kohatu Reserve​ has<br />

increased after the city council<br />

expanded the size of the car park<br />

and entrance in 2017, making it<br />

more accessible.<br />

It is used for watersports,<br />

swimming and as a picnic area.<br />

The toilet blocks were approved<br />

by the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community<br />

Board in July after the city<br />

council discovered visitors<br />

were defecating in the bushes<br />

surrounding the lake.<br />

The city council is discussing<br />

the plans with stakeholders<br />

and clubs before they go out for<br />

public consultation.<br />

Depending on the outcome of<br />

the consultation, the city council<br />

EXPENSIVE:<br />

Roto Kohatu<br />

Reserve is<br />

set to receive<br />

two new<br />

toilets at a<br />

cost of up to<br />

$1 million.<br />

aims to have the toilet blocks<br />

completed before December in<br />

time for next summer.<br />

During the installation of the<br />

toilet blocks, the city council<br />

also plans to improve the<br />

existing car park and roading<br />

infrastructure within the<br />

reserve.<br />

training for<br />

next month.<br />

Exploring Antarctica on a kayak<br />

A CHRISTCHURCH woman is<br />

about to head to Antarctica to<br />

kayak with an Olympian – all in<br />

the name of inspiring others to<br />

get out and explore.<br />

Ara Institute of Canterbury<br />

learning adviser Georgina Archibald,<br />

29, is one of five young<br />

people selected to take part in<br />

the Antarctic Heritage Trust’s<br />

Inspiring Explorers Expedition.<br />

“This will certainly be the<br />

greatest outdoor adventure I’ve<br />

ever undertaken, so I’m thrilled<br />

to have been selected,” said Miss<br />

Archibald.<br />

Next month Miss Archibald<br />

and the expedition team – including<br />

Olympic slalom canoeist<br />

Mike Dawson – will travel to the<br />

Antarctic Peninsula via South<br />

America on a One Oceans Expeditions<br />

vessel.<br />

Once in Antarctica, they will<br />

have the opportunity to explore<br />

the region in kayaks with help<br />

from guides and Dawson.<br />

“Going to Antarctica is incredible<br />

but being able to kayak there<br />

will be even more amazing . . .<br />

it means we’ll be able to get up<br />

close to the landscape and wildlife,”<br />

said Miss Archibald.<br />

As she counts down to the<br />

trip, her focus is on training and<br />

ensuring she has the right gear.<br />

“I’ve been enjoying kayaking<br />

around Banks Peninsula over<br />

the summer. However, the warm<br />

temperatures have been very<br />

different to the polar conditions<br />

in Antarctica, and one of the expedition’s<br />

biggest challenges will<br />

be managing the extreme cold<br />

while kayaking – ideally I’ll get<br />

my layering techniques right.”<br />

As a self-described storyteller,<br />

Miss Archibald was drawn to<br />

the nature of the expedition,<br />

which combines the chance to<br />

experience new landscapes and<br />

wildlife.<br />

On her return, Miss Archibald<br />

will share her story with the<br />

Pasifika community, schools, tertiary<br />

institutions and community<br />

organisations.<br />

“My message will be focused<br />

on what an incredible world we<br />

live in and to make the most of<br />

being able to get out there and<br />

explore it. Adventures, big or<br />

small, local or further afield, are<br />

what opens our eyes and make us<br />

appreciate life.”<br />

Antarctic Heritage Trust<br />

executive director Nigel Watson<br />

will lead the expedition, saying<br />

it will be an unforgettable<br />

experience.<br />

“We have an incredible team<br />

on board this year. We can’t<br />

wait to share this journey as<br />

Antarctica has the power to<br />

change lives.” OPTION ONE<br />

Casebrook couple’s<br />

fight to remove tree<br />

more needs to<br />

“If we’re looking at cutting<br />

down trees, we just have to make<br />

sure we’ve got all the facts in<br />

front of us,” said Cr Davidson.<br />

He said the Baileys and Mr<br />

Stringer would need to do more<br />

than contact an arborist to<br />

assess whether the tree should<br />

be removed.<br />

He said the process would be<br />

easier if the board knew more<br />

“If it all comes back to say that<br />

it is causing impacts to things<br />

like underground infrastructure<br />

and the footpaths, it becomes<br />

a good case to say it needs to<br />

be removed – then we can<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Lovelocks are the pick of the bunch<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

HARD WORK has paid off for a<br />

Northwood couple.<br />

Brian and Janet Lovelock<br />

bagged seven awards for their<br />

garden at this years Christchurch<br />

Beautifying Association summer<br />

garden competition, including<br />

the premier garden award.<br />

In March, the Lovelocks will<br />

collect their awards for best<br />

flowers and colour impact, best<br />

residential driveway display, and<br />

best trees and shrubs, among<br />

others. They also won a certificate<br />

of merit for the best secret<br />

garden. Mrs Lovelock said they<br />

devote all of their time to gardening<br />

and are out in the garden<br />

“practically every day.”<br />

It will be the Lovelock’s second<br />

time winning a premier garden<br />

award, their first win was in<br />

2017. The 32 Applefield Court<br />

garden featured ​rhododendrons,<br />

camellias and pansies but “the<br />

colour impact came from the<br />

begonias,” said Mrs Lovelock.<br />

She said the pair were “raised<br />

to do gardening” in their childhoods.<br />

But they only got serious<br />

about their gardening when they<br />

moved to Northwood after losing<br />

their home in the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />

2011, earthquake.<br />

Kapuatohe Cottage on Main<br />

North Rd.<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

members<br />

approved the<br />

city council’s<br />

recommendation<br />

to use the two<br />

buildings as<br />

residential<br />

Sam<br />

MacDonald<br />

properties last<br />

week.<br />

The $370,000​<br />

restoration of<br />

the Kapuatohe Dwellings and<br />

$<strong>26</strong>,000 restoration of Kapuatohe<br />

Cottage was approved in 2017<br />

as part of a heritage repair and<br />

strengthening project in the city<br />

council’s Long Term Plan budget.<br />

However, community board<br />

chairman Sam MacDonald<br />

has raised concerns over the<br />

restoration costs.<br />

“There’s going to be a lot<br />

of money pumped into them<br />

and my concern is that it’s not<br />

going to stop with what’s been<br />

allocated,” said Mr MacDonald.<br />

He said the age of the buildings<br />

as well as compliance laws<br />

for rental properties, such as<br />

compulsory insulation from<br />

July 1, could mean city council<br />

staff end up asking the board for<br />

more money. “As long as they<br />

can be tenanted at market rate.<br />

It’s important that we maximise<br />

the return to the ratepayer<br />

or else we are just sitting on<br />

assets that provide no value,”<br />

HISTORY: The<br />

Kapuatohe<br />

Dwellings<br />

were used as a<br />

schoolhouse for<br />

teachers in 1878,<br />

while Kapuatohe<br />

Cottage (above)<br />

was built in 1912.<br />

said Mr MacDonald. “When<br />

the ratepayers are putting in<br />

money to historically significant<br />

buildings, they shouldn’t be<br />

restricted to the public all year<br />

round. During heritage week<br />

they should have a bit of access.”<br />

A 2010 management<br />

plan for Kapuatohe Reserve<br />

recommended the buildings<br />

are occupied so the temperature<br />

and moisture could be<br />

managed.<br />

During a public engagement<br />

process in March last year,<br />

one applicant’s interest in<br />

operating a business out of the<br />

Kapuatohe Dwellings was denied<br />

as it did not comply with the<br />

management plan.<br />

Both buildings were occupied<br />

by tenants before they were<br />

damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />

2011, earthquake.<br />

850km road trip for good cause<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

HISTORY OF KAPUATOHE<br />

•The Kapuatohe Historic<br />

Reserve is culturally and<br />

spiritually significant<br />

to Ngai Tahu as it was<br />

once an important link<br />

between Kaiapoi and Banks<br />

Peninsula​.<br />

•In 1877, a school was built<br />

at the site and opened in<br />

1878 with a roll of 38 pupils.<br />

The schoolhouse, now<br />

Kapuatohe Dwellings, was<br />

built at the same time and<br />

occupied by school staff<br />

members until 1971.<br />

•The schoolhouse was<br />

designed by Thomas<br />

Cane, the Canterbury<br />

Education Board architect<br />

at the time.<br />

•In 1978, the schoolhouse<br />

was taken over by the<br />

Waimairi District Council.<br />

At the same time, the<br />

council also bought the<br />

neighbouring block of land<br />

with crofter’s cottage, which<br />

was built in 1912. These<br />

two sections became the<br />

Kapuatohe Historic Reserve<br />

in 1979. The schoolhouse<br />

is significant as one of the<br />

few remaining 19th-century<br />

buildings in the area.<br />

Velden and Jane Yellowlees will<br />

soon be Rotorua-bound in a<br />

couple of classic Morris Minors.<br />

On April 15, the two will be<br />

travelling 850km in Myrtle, a<br />

67-year-old convertible, and<br />

Audrey, a 60-year-old saloon<br />

to raise money for the New<br />

Zealand Spinal Trust.<br />

Burwood Spinal Unit<br />

registered nurse Ms Yellowlees<br />

will be at the wheel of Myrtle<br />

with her colleague Mrs van der<br />

Velden navigating.<br />

“We will be hurtling along<br />

with the wind in our hair,” said<br />

Mrs van der Velden.<br />

Mrs van der Velden’s husband<br />

is going to be driving Audrey,<br />

with their teenage son Metin as<br />

navigator.<br />

Knowing that she owned a<br />

“lovely Morris Minor,” Mrs van<br />

der Velden invited her colleague<br />

Ms Yellowlees to a classic car<br />

rally.<br />

Mrs van der Velden has<br />

worked at the spinal unit<br />

for nearly 20 years and Ms<br />

Yellowlees for six years.<br />

“Jane flippantly said she might<br />

drive her car, Myrtle, to the<br />

Morris Minor convention in<br />

Rotorua and I casually replied: ‘I<br />

will be your navigator’.”<br />

“We are paying for the trip<br />

ourselves but hope to spread the<br />

word about the wonderful work<br />

the people of the New Zealand<br />

Spinal Trust are achieving and<br />

raise some much-needed funds<br />

in the process.”<br />

Mrs van der Velden said when<br />

she told her husband about their<br />

plans he wanted to go too. “But<br />

our two Morris Minors, Shrek<br />

and Monty, weren’t really up to<br />

it.”<br />

“I said to Brian: ‘Well we have<br />

got some money set aside to<br />

paint the house – why don’t we<br />

buy another Morrie instead?’<br />

And so we got Audrey.”​<br />

Mrs van der Velden said her<br />

uncle, who passed away a few<br />

years ago, spent many years in a<br />

wheelchair after sustaining a T4<br />

level injury at work.<br />

“He was always helping others<br />

and is an inspiration to me.<br />

Compared to the challenges he<br />

faced, and the challenges that<br />

many with a spinal cord injury<br />

still face every day, any small<br />

hiccups along our little trip will<br />

be just a wee bump in the road.”<br />

Couple still<br />

hunting for<br />

stolen jewellery<br />

A ST ALBANS couple have been<br />

unable to find the items which<br />

were stolen from their home on<br />

<strong>February</strong> 11.<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong> reported last<br />

week on the burglary of Georgia<br />

and husband Shayden Whipps’<br />

home. The<br />

couple have<br />

been searching<br />

online and at local<br />

pawn shops<br />

for sentimental<br />

items that were<br />

taken from inside<br />

their property<br />

while they<br />

were at work.<br />

Among the<br />

items stolen was Mrs Whipps’<br />

jewellery box, which contained<br />

items left to her by her mother,<br />

who died of cancer in 2017.<br />

One of the jewellery pieces was<br />

a necklace with a mould of her<br />

mother’s fingerprint that was<br />

made at the funeral home.<br />

It was stolen in a series of<br />

burglaries which took place in<br />

the St Albans area on the same<br />

day.<br />

Police searched the Whipps’<br />

property for fingerprints the<br />

following day but were unable to<br />

find evidence that would identify<br />

the burglar.<br />

SIXTY-TWO YEARS ago a<br />

young Joe Keller left Vienna with<br />

his parents and headed for New<br />

Zealand.<br />

It was the mid-1950s when<br />

Europe had the large shadow of<br />

the Soviet Union hovering over<br />

it and his mother thought New<br />

Zealand seemed like a good place<br />

to reside.​​<br />

At 13, his family settled in<br />

Wellington with his father’s glass<br />

business before he eventually<br />

moved to Christchurch on his<br />

own when he was in his early<br />

only allowed two consecutive<br />

years of the presidency until<br />

Mr Keller has been a part of the<br />

society since it began in 1970 and<br />

said he will “ be there for good”.<br />

“If I had stayed in Vienna,<br />

there’s no way of knowing<br />

whether I would be better off. Yet<br />

in your heart, you’re still there.”<br />

The club celebrates Austrian<br />

events and traditions such as<br />

Easter egg painting and hunting,<br />

Christmas get-togethers and<br />

Oktoberfest.<br />

It has an Austrian choir led by<br />

Mr Keller which performs at rest<br />

homes around Christchurch.<br />

The club still has more than<br />

100 members, with only 12 being<br />

genuinely Austrian.<br />

Many are European or have<br />

Mr Keller said the group has<br />

“never been restricted to Austrian<br />

members” and that it has<br />

“always welcomed anyone who<br />

is interested in the Austrian way<br />

of life.”<br />

Austrian society committee<br />

has also been involved since the<br />

club was founded, said if Mr<br />

Feneon working hard to<br />

reach US basketball dream<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

PROMISING basketballer Kurt<br />

Feneon is looking to take his<br />

game to the next level now he<br />

has finished his final year at<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School.<br />

Feneon, 18, trains twice a<br />

day, five times a week with the<br />

Canterbury Rams as he pursues a<br />

United States college scholarship.<br />

The forward/guard has<br />

adjusted his game since finishing<br />

high school. At 198cm, Feneon<br />

was predominantly used at<br />

centre due to being the tallest<br />

player in his team. However, he is<br />

now concentrating on his game<br />

as a wing player.<br />

“I could always dribble and do<br />

what you need to as a guard, but<br />

I never did because I played as a<br />

big,” said Feneon.<br />

Those skills were on show<br />

this month when he travelled to<br />

Melbourne with the Canterbury<br />

Knights as part of a six-game<br />

tour. Feneon shot 7/14 threepointers<br />

for the team, which<br />

contained a number of current<br />

and former Canterbury Rams.<br />

“I was always a good midrange<br />

shooter, but I’ve really<br />

been working on my three-point<br />

shooting.”<br />

He’s hopeful that form will<br />

translate into a US college<br />

scholarship.<br />

Going to the US has been his<br />

objective since he got serious<br />

about basketball four years ago.<br />

If it happens, he won’t be the first<br />

in his family to make the trip.<br />

His father Remi from France<br />

and mother Jolene from South<br />

Africa met at the University<br />

of Mississippi – known as Ole<br />

Miss – while there on tennis<br />

scholarships.<br />

“They’ve always been<br />

encouraging me on it because of<br />

the great experiences they had<br />

over there,” said Feneon.<br />

Just like his parents and<br />

sister Jade, who all play premier<br />

inter-club tennis, he also played<br />

the sport from a young age.<br />

However, at 13 Feneon made the<br />

switch to basketball.<br />

“I was okay at tennis but I<br />

never really loved it,” he said.<br />

“I’ve found that winning with<br />

a team is so much better than by<br />

yourself.”<br />

Feneon is now training<br />

regularly with the Canterbury<br />

Rams ahead of their NBL season.<br />

He will head to Dunedin with<br />

the Knights to play the Otago<br />

Nuggets and Southland Sharks<br />

next month.<br />

“I’m just trying to make<br />

sure I’m in the best shape I can<br />

be. I’m just waiting for that call,”<br />

he said.<br />

While his ultimate goal<br />

is to get to the NBA, he will<br />

also have other professional<br />

playing options in the Northern<br />

Hemisphere if he can continue to<br />

develop.<br />

“I’ve got a French passport<br />

because of my dad, so Europe is<br />

another place I could play.”<br />

Feneon was part of the<br />

Canterbury team which won the<br />

national under-19 title last year,<br />

and has also attended a number<br />

of New Zealand age group<br />

camps.<br />

SURPRISE: Jesse Frew’s selection in the NZ under-19<br />

side to tour came as a surprise for the St Andrew’s College<br />

all-rounder.<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

ANGUS SIDEY, Jesse Frew and<br />

Rhys Mariu will get their first<br />

taste of cricket in the subcontinent<br />

when they head to Bangladesh<br />

with the New Zealand under-19<br />

team in April.<br />

St Andrew’s College students<br />

Mariu and Frew, along with<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School’s<br />

Sidey were all part of Canterbury’s<br />

under-17 side in January while<br />

Mariu was also part of Canterbury’s<br />

under-19 team in December.<br />

After failing to be selected for<br />

the 19s team, the phone call from<br />

NZ under-19 coach and former<br />

Canterbury and Black Caps<br />

batsman Peter Fulton came as a<br />

surprise to Frew.<br />

“I wasn’t expecting it at all after I<br />

didn’t make the Canterbury under-<br />

19s.”<br />

Jessie, the son of longtime<br />

Canterbury Country<br />

representative, Rob Frew, is known<br />

as a top-order batsman who can<br />

also open the bowling.<br />

However, a stress fracture in<br />

his back had kept him away from<br />

the bowling crease this summer,<br />

which Jesse thought had limited<br />

his chances to push for higher honours<br />

this season.<br />

“I made Canterbury under-19s<br />

last season but was dropped this<br />

year and was told with my body<br />

being injured they were unsure if<br />

it could handle a cricket tournament,”<br />

he said.<br />

Meanwhile, Mariu, who is<br />

and opening batsman is looking<br />

forward to showing off his ability<br />

as a part-time leg spin bowler in<br />

Bangladesh.<br />

“I’m excited to get a bit of extra<br />

grip and turn out of the pitches<br />

over there,” said Mariu.<br />

The 17-year-old says he started<br />

leg spin while playing back yard<br />

cricket and enjoys the challenge of<br />

being able to toy with batsmen.<br />

CBHS paceman Sidey will also<br />

benefit from exposure to different<br />

conditions as the Canterbury trio<br />

look to push their case for a spot at<br />

next year’s under-19 Cricket World<br />

Cup.<br />

The tour to Bangladesh will<br />

be the New Zealand’s first series<br />

in the lead up to the World Cup,<br />

which will be played in South<br />

Africa in January.<br />

The Bangladesh tour will start<br />

with a 50-over warm-up game, followed<br />

by five 50-over contests.<br />

Of the opportunity to play<br />

Bangladesh, who recently hosted<br />

the England under-19s, Paul<br />

Wiseman, the former Canterbury<br />

and Black Caps spinner who is<br />

the programme leader for the<br />

under-19s, said: “We see this as<br />

purely a wonderful opportunity;<br />

a subcontinental tour that the<br />

players will really benefit from. I<br />

think we’ll learn a lot about players<br />

over there.”<br />

Flexible booking hours give families greater choice<br />

For busy working parents with young children, a local childcare centre<br />

that offers flexibility can make all the difference when juggling work<br />

schedules and caring for their family. That’s where the privately run<br />

First Learners centres come to the fore.<br />

Owned and operated by Linda Broekman,<br />

who trained as a kindergarten teacher<br />

and has decades of experience across the<br />

early learning environment, the three First<br />

Learners centres in Shirley, Mairehau and<br />

Rangiora cater for all families’ needs.<br />

“We are very flexible with our booking<br />

hours,” says Linda. “We don’t have set<br />

sessions, so parents and caregivers can leave<br />

their children in our care on any day or days<br />

and for any length of time that suits them.”<br />

The centres cater for children from birth<br />

to six years and are staffed by qualified and<br />

experienced teachers, with a low child to<br />

staff ratio.<br />

“Our philosophy focuses on the needs<br />

of each individual child, and we cater for<br />

their differing developmental needs with<br />

separate sections according to age groups,”<br />

Linda explains.<br />

First Learners offers a free play<br />

environment as well as some structured<br />

time according to age, ensuring that the<br />

children are kept engaged, stimulated and<br />

challenged while at the same time having<br />

fun and developing their social skills,<br />

creativity and confidence.<br />

The play areas are spacious and well<br />

equipped, with the children free to access<br />

both indoor and outdoor areas. By allowing<br />

them to make choices about where they<br />

want to be and what activities they want<br />

to get involved in, the staff encourage the<br />

children to explore and be curious and<br />

creative.<br />

The centres offer the government<br />

subsidised 20 free hours, and these are<br />

“absolutely free, with no extra charges”,<br />

Linda says.<br />

And when children are enrolled at<br />

any of the First Leaners centres, the first<br />

four weeks are offered free, with certain<br />

conditions. Details of these can be found on<br />

their website, www.firstlearners.co.nz.<br />

Linda and her staff have an open door<br />

policy, so parents and caregivers are<br />

welcome to call in at any time to inspect the<br />

centres and chat about their child’s needs.<br />

The centres are open Monday to<br />

Friday. Mairehau 7am-6pm, Shirley<br />

7.30am-5.30pm and Rangiora 7.15am-<br />

6pm. For more information visit<br />

Wellbeing & Beauty<br />

The secret of eating guilt free<br />

From the moment our children arrive<br />

into the world they are dependant on us<br />

for food. Whether it’s nourishing our own<br />

body to provide breast milk or nourishing<br />

their bodies so they can learn at school.<br />

One of the most challenging elements of<br />

parenthood would be putting food on the<br />

table. From creating the dollars to pay for<br />

food to deciding what meal you are going<br />

to cook that your family will love without<br />

protest - feeding humans can be intense.<br />

As a solo parent I was doing both and it<br />

soon became a reality that quick, costeffective<br />

options that filled tummies for<br />

longer was essential.<br />

When I qualified as a nutritionist<br />

in 2004 people assumed they see a<br />

nutritionist for weight loss. Having a<br />

healthy body weight is<br />

only a small part of good<br />

health and well- being.<br />

Food fuels the brain,<br />

contributes to balancing<br />

our mood, helps carry<br />

oxygen for energy<br />

around the body,<br />

nourishes body cells so<br />

they grow and facilitates<br />

how we learn.<br />

Although I have<br />

helped countless<br />

people improve<br />

their health since I<br />

graduated, my passion<br />

is eating great-tasting<br />

food without guilt.<br />

I have created over<br />

200 family favourite recipes<br />

that are balanced over four seasons.<br />

Every recipe can be adjusted for different<br />

nutritional requirements including being<br />

dairy-free and gluten-free. The cooking<br />

methods needed to be simple and efficient<br />

to accommodate younger children<br />

demanding attention while you’re cooking<br />

dinner and as they get older so they can<br />

help create them with you.<br />

Flying solo myself, I didn’t have many<br />

dollars each week so the<br />

ingredients are everyday<br />

foods you can get at the<br />

supermarket, out of<br />

your pantry, fridge and<br />

garden. Some weeks,<br />

all I had was $70 for<br />

groceries (that included<br />

non-perishables)<br />

The key ingredient<br />

you need in every<br />

meal is satisfaction.<br />

When the body and<br />

mind are satisfied, it<br />

is easier to cope with<br />

a busy lifestyle. Being<br />

healthy has become<br />

so over- complicated<br />

and diet trends have<br />

become like fashion and are<br />

ever-changing. Dieting also can create a lot<br />

of guilt when we do eat the foods we love.<br />

Dieting is also not demonstrating a healthy<br />

relationship with food for the younger<br />

generation.<br />

Every recipe uses the “science of<br />

satisfaction” - a formula I published in my<br />

book “Wet Your Appetite” - The Secret of<br />

Eating Guilt Free, so that your energy stays<br />

stable throughout the day. You get access<br />

to a electronic copy of my book when<br />

you’re a member of the Guilt Free Food<br />

School.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

An unparalleled lifestyle in magical Moncks Bay<br />

242 Main Road, Redcliffs - “As-Is, Where-Is”<br />

Auction: Thursday, 14 March <strong>2019</strong> Unless Sold Prior<br />

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number SM0166<br />

Treasured by two generations and offering<br />

a truly once in a lifetime opportunity, this<br />

tantalizing home upon a 2853m2 section<br />

enjoys an overwhelming tranquil setting and<br />

is presented to the market on an uninsured<br />

“as-is, where-is” basis.<br />

Situated in the tightly held locale of magical<br />

Moncks Bay, this property makes a memorable<br />

first impression and was constructed in the<br />

1960s but has naturally received extensive<br />

modern enhancements including a Bruce<br />

Banbury architectural renovation in 2004.<br />

Resort-style serenity is provided by the<br />

colourful Clivias as well as the established<br />

greenery and palms trees that border the<br />

swimming and spa pool, with the outstanding<br />

views and majestic cliff face backdrop only<br />

escalating the property’s visual appeal.<br />

Spacious living areas are complemented<br />

by the sizeable Kwila deck, water feature<br />

and idyllic alfresco surroundings which<br />

have previously hosted a wedding and could<br />

continue to be the scene of many memorable<br />

occasions.<br />

Skylights, the superb use of timber, a<br />

contemporary colour scheme and the<br />

magnificent stone fireplaces create an<br />

incredibly inviting ambience indoors where<br />

you’ll find four double bedrooms, two<br />

bathrooms and a relaxing sunroom area that<br />

comes complete with a spa bath.<br />

With an expansive lawn area and the<br />

picturesque garden at the rear of the property<br />

both epitomise peace and privacy and offer<br />

access up to the top of the section where<br />

you can sit and admire the ocean vistas over<br />

Moncks Bay incorporating from Shag Rock<br />

and right along the Pegasus Bay coastline.<br />

This property can potentially be subdivided<br />

which furthers your options and adds<br />

another element of interest for buyers.<br />

Ensconced in a private lane that sits across<br />

from the waterfront, this property is also<br />

positioned to enjoy the area’s celebrated<br />

microclimate and is located within easy reach<br />

of the beaches, boating facilities, Barnett<br />

Park and the amenities in both Redcliffs and<br />

Sumner.<br />

With floors needing repiling and being sold<br />

uninsured, deemed uneconomical to repair,<br />

this unique “as-is, where-is” opportunity is a<br />

real game changer with the feel good factor<br />

and is guaranteed to attract attention. Your<br />

earliest viewing is advised.<br />

Open Homes: Wednesdays, Saturdays<br />

and Sundays 1:00pm - 1:45pm.<br />

See you at the open homes or for a private<br />

viewing or for more information contact<br />
