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 />

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 />
•From page 1<br />
“The asphalt pavement was resealed<br />
for the fourth time in late<br />
2018 and the new lay is already<br />
root-cracked,” said Mr Stringer.<br />

footpath in 2016 cost $1800.<br />

Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
understands<br />
the Baileys<br />
frustration, but<br />
more needs to<br />
be done if they want to achieve<br />
the right outcome.<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 />

about the situation, such as<br />
whether other residents would<br />

it poses to infrastructure.<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 />
question who pays for it,” said<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 />

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 />
20s.<br />
Six decades since leaving<br />
Austria, the 75-year-old Mr<br />
Keller, who lives in Casebrook,<br />
has been recognised for keeping<br />
Austrian culture alive in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
He has only been back to<br />
Vienna four times since he came<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 />
had Austrian partners.<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 />

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 />
