Connecting Your Community

www.star.kiwi

• By Georgia O’Connor-

Harding

EVER SINCE she was a

child, there is nothing else

Laurel Gregory has wanted

to do other than perform on

stage.

But it has been a “rocky”

road for the Richmond

22-year-old, who has been

battling an auto-immune

disease for about 14 years,

which has led to her being

diagnosed with arthritis.

Yet instead of feeling

sorry for herself, she has

refused to let anything

stop her from chasing

her dream of becoming a

professional musical theatre

performer.

Gregory is currently

training in New York City

at the Broadway Dance

Center as part of a threemonth

programme.

Founded in 1984, the dance

school is known as one of the

first drop-in studios to be

established in the world and

has more than 80 teachers

and choreographers taking

classes.

As part of her training,

Gregory is attending 12

classes a week, including

ballet, bodyArt and

contemporary dance. She

said she chose to attend the

school after needing a “fresh

perspective” on dancing.

Plan to

remove

cycle lane

worries

principals

• By Jess Gibson

PRINCIPALS ARE worried a

plan to remove a cycle lane and

narrow the footpath outside

Burnside High and Christ the

King schools will impact on

students’ safety.

The city council wants to

change the intersection on

the corner of Greers Rd and

Memorial Ave to create a shared

left turn for cyclists, vehicles and

the Orbiter bus.

The changes would ease

congestion at the intersection,

which is often gridlocked at

peak times, causing delays to the

Orbiter.

However, Burnside High

School principal Phil Holstein

said while he recognises the area

is congested, he is concerned the

proposed change would pose a

risk to the safety of students.

“I think their priority is the

Orbiter bus rather than the

students and the people using the

cycle lanes,” said Mr Holstein.

The Fendalton-Waimairi-

Harewood Community Board will

decide whether the changes will go

ahead at its meeting on March 18.

from the editor’s desk

IT’S GREAT to see people beating the

odds.

On page 1 today, we have one such

example. Laurel Gregory has been battling

an auto-immune disease for more than

a decade, which has led to her being

diagnosed with arthritis.

The 22-year-old’s passion is dancing, so you would think her

condition would be a major hurdle to that career path.

But not for Laurel. She is currently in New York, training at the

Broadway Dance Center as part of a three-month programme.

In 2015, she was accepted into the National Academy of

Singing and Dramatic Art here in Christchurch.

Medication is helping Laurel live her dream. But I suspect

there’s an amazing amount of determination and dedication,

too.

Neighbourhood hub finally opens

• By Jess Gibson

AFTER EIGHT months of

delays and a $70,000 cost

blowout, the community hub on

Main North Rd is finally ready.

The old Redwood Plunket

rooms have been restored and

repaired after they suffered

damage in the February 22, 2011,

earthquake.

The restored Neighbourhood

Links building was initially set

to cost $30,000 but ended up

coming in at $100,000.

It was scheduled to be

completed in June but was

delayed after the discovery of

black mould and asbestos.

The city council made the

decision to grant an additional

$45,000 to the project in 2017,

and this was increased again

by $25,000 after the mould and

asbestos discovery in August.

On Wednesday the building

was finally opened, with

residents, community workers

and Papanui-Innes Community

Board members attending

a blessing and cake-cutting

ceremony.

The refurbished centre will

provide a base for community

engagement in Northcote and

Redwood.

The Neighbourhood Links

project was started in 2014

by Joss Buttriss to give the

community a sense of identity.

It will mainly be overseen

by community development

organisation, Te Ora Hou, with

involvement from other groups,

including Northcote School.

Te Ora Hou has employed

Angie Durey and Charlotte

Clark, who have offices in

the building, to manage

Neighbourhood Links.

Mrs Durey and Ms Clark

have been volunteering for

Neighbourhood Links since

2017.

“I genuinely love helping

people and I am so thankful that

I have been given this chance,”

said Ms Clark.

Mrs Durey is also studying

to keep the Neighbourhood

What issues are affecting people in

A new report identifies

several issues which

are having a negative

impact on the wellbeing

of people in

Papanui and Harewood.

Jess Gibson talks to its

authors

PAPANUI AND Harewood

residents are concerned about

loneliness and isolation in their

communities.

The Papanui Community

Voices report identified strengths

and challenges within the

suburbs based on a survey of 122

residents last year.

The participants were asked

to identify key areas of concern

from a list of eight options, with

58 per cent agreeing loneliness

and isolation were a problem.

When asked to identify

strengths by agreeing or

disagreeing with a range of

statements, 31 per cent of those

surveyed disagreed that people

were positively connected.

The survey and report were

created by Damian Ardell, a

community worker from the

Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust,

about to combat isolation,” said

Mr Ardell.

Dr Chilvers said a primary way

to minimise social isolation is to

create opportunities for people

in a neighbourhood to connect

and build relationships.

“Mentoring, language classes,

dance classes, youth groups, or

cooking classes are all examples

of services that can also create

an opportunity for building

social connectedness,” said Dr

Chilvers.

With the help of other

community groups, the Papanui

Baptist Freedom Trust will host

the Papanui Neighbourhood Fair

on March 17.

Mr Ardell said he hopes the

all-ages fair will bring people

together to meet and learn

about what is going on in the

community.

As well as information about

activities, programmes and

groups that people can get

involved in, the fair will have

live music, food, clowns and

games. Some of the groups

in Papanui and Harewood

that people can join include

friendship lunches, card game

clubs and a men’s exercise group.

“We run these things to give

people a chance to interact and

to get to know other people

and to learn about further

opportunities where they can

connect with people,” said Mr

Ardell.

Mr Ardell and Dr Chilvers

worked on Papanui Community

Voices for more than a year and

consulted with organisations and

professionals to make sure they

were asking the right questions.

As part of the survey,

are some of the answers:

“Too many people moving

to stay longer and invest

Beautiful Beasts

Lisa Grennell

9 March - 3 April 2019

And then we fell in love with them...

The animals painted in this exhibition are from our

farm. Booboo, the Highland cow, being the main

subject, because of her sweet nature (and the fact

that she is my favourite). From my experience as

a beginner farmer and animal lover, I believe early

influence on both human and animal can be similarly profound. However I am a realist regarding

the consumption of animals. I don’t eat meat – so perhaps I have an unusual perspective.

Booboo, eerily painted in her majestic beauty, surrounded and almost

hidden by the reflective surface of the black mirror- like background, the

viewer too is captured in the reflective surface, a comment on human

impact on animals. This Plato quote comes to mind and challenges our

thoughts…

‘Is there something distinctive about humanity that tries to justify the

idea that humans deserve moral status, but non - humans do not?’ -

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/

Within this body of work I’m celebrating the beauty within every

creature. Real moments captured are a reminder of an innocence

untainted by society. In contrast to the black paintings are some

pure white images of children, along with animals, and their

imaginary adventures. This emphasises the preciousness of

children and their innate connection with nature.

We’d like your feedback

on our activities,

OLIVIA EADY was five when

she first went to the town hall to

see the Wiggles perform live.

It was not long before the

hall was closed due to severe

damage in the February 22,

2011, earthquake.

Now the 13-year-old was the

first person to take to the town

hall stage before it reopened,

performing a song which she

wrote and composed herself.

In her final year at Selwyn

House, Olivia wrote Worth

about humanity’s responsibility

to take care of the planet.

After sending her song into

a radio station, Olivia was

chosen to perform as part of

a competition celebrating the

reopening of the hall, which

cost more than $150 million to

rebuild.

Olivia wrote the song for her

school’s Passion Project – a

year-long challenge in which

students use their passions to

help solve the world’s problems,

using the United Nations

sustainable development goals

as their framework.

Olivia wrote Worth about

goal No 15 called life on land,

which aims to conserve and

restore ecosystems, such as

forests, wetlands, drylands and

mountains, by 2020.

“I love nature and always

have,” said Olivia.

While only her mum, dad

and the film crew got to see

Olivia perform in person, the

Community Trust and

the Papanui Baptist Freedom

Trust, among others.

The Rata Foundation

has helped the collective

under a small grants programme

for grassroots

“We identified how

infrequently small to

actually get time to meet

and learn from each other,” said

the town hall, three days before the restored building was

opened to the public.

song was broadcast on The Hits

radio station and Facebook page

on February 20. The hall was

officially opened on February

23.

Her mum Lisa Eady said it

was an honour to watch Olivia

perform live at the new hall.

She said Olivia has always

been a singer and has kept

growing as a performer since

she picked up a guitar at age

nine.

Since then, she has been

busking around the streets of

Christchurch in an effort to one

day make it on the international

manager Lynda Goodrick.

“A small conference with topics

identified from the community

in a survey would be a great opportunity

to support other local

managers such as ourselves”, said

Mrs Goodrick.

There will be six speakers at the

conference, including Sala Tiatia

from season one of Survivor, who

now runs a Maori and Pacific

Island leadership programme in

high schools.

The workshops will teach

stage like her idol Ed Sheeran.

In her first year at

Christchurch Girls’ High

School, Olivia has joined a

rock band and made the elite

choir.

She also plans to keep her

YouTube channel going by

uploading more of her own

music. “I want to write at least

one song this year,” said Olivia.

is open for events. However,

Papanui’s suffragettes

signed ‘monster petition’

Papanui Heritage Group

chairman Murray Williams

writes about the suffragette

movement in Papanui

IN MID-1893, New Zealand

suffragists launched a campaign

for a ‘monster petition,’ which

demanded that adult women

(those aged 21 or over) should

be granted the right to vote in

Parliamentary elections.

Eventually, 31,872 women

signed the main and subsidiary

petitions (men were not invited

to do so), and of these, 60 gave

Papanui as their address.

researcher Christine Grant has

located information on 27 of

them and, although this is a

small sample, it does present

some interesting detail about the

local women who helped prompt

Parliament to take the step that

ensured New Zealand would

become the first country in the

world to carry out this reform.

In order to be classified as a Papanui

signatory, Papanui had to

be part of the address provided.

Thus the two women who

gave only their street (Mays Rd),

without adding a suburb, could

well have been Papanui residents

if they lived on the northern side

of that street, although the other

side of Mays Rd was technically

part of St Albans borough.

Another signatory gave her

address as ‘Mary’s’ Rd, although

subsequent evidence from the

electoral roll indicates that she

also lived in Mays Rd.

In another case, the address

Webb St, Papanui, was given, although

at the time this street was

in the borough of St Albans and

RIGHT TO VOTE: Of the

thousands of New Zealand

suffragists who signed

petitions, 60 gave a Papanui

address.

should not have been included in

the figures for Papanui.

Some unorthodox spelling adds

interest, for example ‘Pappanui’

and ‘Papnui’

It has been possible to find the

birthplaces of 18 of these Papanui

women.

Fourteen (78 per cent) were

born in England or Scotland and

only three in New Zealand, while

one came from Germany.

The ages of the women when

they signed the petition ranged

from 23-75 and the average age

was 48.

The marital status of 27 of the

Papanui women at the time the

petition was signed has also been

traced.

Nineteen were married, five

were ‘spinsters’, while three were

widows.

The majority of married

women would have described

themselves as being engaged in

domestic duties, but those who

were involved in professions

included two music teachers, a

‘ladies nurse’ and Sarah Maria

Pope, who gave her name to a

highly successful retail business

which she founded and managed.

•From page 1

“I didn’t trust my abilities and

I couldn’t stop worrying about

what people were thinking to the

point it would not allow me to

show what I can actually do as I

have to in an audition.”

Gregory has been passionate

about the arts since a young age,

starting ballet at six.

But it was when she was accepted

into the National Academy

of Singing and Dramatic Art

in 2015 that she began to train

heavily in ballet, jazz and tap.

“In terms of my love of musical

theatre, it was never a choice.

There’s nothing else I want

to do and I need to do it,” she

said.

When Gregory was eight, the

skin on her hands and feet began

to break and she recalls having

to walk on her toes because her

heels hurt so much.

But it wasn’t until she began to

get arthritis in her hands at the

age of 14 that she was officially

diagnosed with rheumatoid and

psoriatic arthritis.

Gregory said both conditions

are caused by the auto-immune

disease, psoriasis, which causes a

rapid build-up of skin cells.

Before she was diagnosed, she

was told her skin condition was

a result of dermatitis. But now

she is taking an oral immune

system suppressant, methotrexate,

which has kept her condition

under control. The only time she

ever stopped dancing was when

she attempted to take a break

from her medication in 2015

to find a more natural way to

control her condition. When she

stopped taking it her psoriasis

came back “horribly” and she

had to spend three months away

from dance.

“This time (away from dance)

allowed me to realise how much

LOVE OF DANCE: Nothing has stopped Laurel Gregory from

following her dreams of becoming a professional musical

theatre performer.

I actually enjoyed dancing

rather than just doing it,” she

said.

Gregory said she is grateful the

medication gives her the ability

to do what she wants with her

life.

Bowling club to mark 100 years

Three-day

celebration

planned

over Easter

• By Gordon Findlater

THE BELFAST Bowling Club

will celebrate its 100th birthday

with three days of festivities over

Easter weekend.

The club will host a get

together on Friday night, a bowls

tournament and dinner on

Saturday, and then a celebrity

bowls event and barbecue on

Sunday. With Easter weekend

approaching, the centenary

organising committee is urging

those interested in being part of

the celebration to register for the

events.

The Belfast Bowling Club was

founded in 1919. The present

site was originally leased

from the Waimairi County

Council, which has now been

amalgamated into the city

council.

Since then, a number of fine

bowlers have graced the green at

Belfast. The club has had three

members represent New Zealand

during their time at the club –

Kelvin Scott, Glen McDonald

and Nathan Glasson.

Scott became the only Belfast

member to win a national

singles title in 1997/1998 when

he defeated Maurice Symes in

the final 21-15 at the Naenae

Bowling Club in Wellington.

Belfast has also been a

dominant force in Canterbury’s

interclub competition – winning

13 of the last 20 sevens titles.

The club has hosted many

social occasions, including

a regular Thursday club

night, which is rumoured to

occasionally turn into a bit of a

party.

“It’s a very social club.

Thursday nights is a real social

occasion, we have meals and

do get carried away sometimes.

Not too much, though, there’s

been no dancing on the tables

yet,” said centenary committee

member Ann Gray.

The committee got some

extra funding for the centenary

through their Mickey Mouse

piggy bank, which can be found

at the Thursday club night.

“If someone does wrong

biases, they get a fine. If they

travel overseas, that’s another

one,” said centenary committee

member Jasmine Latham.

With the clubrooms regularly

hired for birthday parties and

other gatherings, it’s not just

members at the club who have

created memories there over

the years. The club’s green is

also often hired out for private

bookings.

“We had one group on a stag

do. They had been on about

a five-hour bus trip before

they even got here, so you can

imagine what sort of state they

were in . . . to get them off the

green when they were finished

I said the sprinklers are set on

a timer and they’re about to

come on, so I suggest getting

off the green,” said centenary

committee member Eric Allison.

“I just snuck into the control

panel and turned them on. The

SPORT

stag just stood right over the top

of the sprinkler and got a good

washing down.”

The current clubrooms and

facilities are the result of a lot

of hard work from members in

the late 1970s and early 1980s,

mostly by volunteer labour.

Sheldon Park, which the

Belfast Bowling Club is part

of, was generously gifted to

the Belfast district by William

Nicholls who was the owner of

Kaputone Wool Works. The park

was named in 1913 after his wife

Sarah Sheldon Nicholls who

passed away in 1911 aged 56.

A significant year for the

club came in 2000 when the

amalgamation of the Belfast

men’s and ladies bowls sections

took place.

The Belfast ladies section was

started in 1955 and has had

fluctuating member numbers

over the years from 18 in 1965

to 10 in the 1979/80 season to

a peak of 42 members in the

1990/1991 season.

“We had a uniform with long

skirts that you had to measure.

When you kneeled down it

would touch the ground. We had

hats and everything,” said Gray.

The club currently has 39

men and 18 ladies who are full

playing members. It also has 10

limited playing members, 76

social members and six living life

members.

Top school rugby player

SPORT

pushes for NRL start


FORMER BURNSIDE High

first XV player Mikaele Ravalawa

looks set to be the latest young

Christchurch league convert to

make his mark on the NRL.

Ravalawa scored two tries

for the St George Illawarra

Dragons in their 18-10 win over

the Newcastle Knights in a preseason

trial match.

In 2016, the Fijian

winger finished as the UC

Championship’s top try scorer

after crossing the line 14 times

for Burnside.

He was then picked up by the

Canberra Raiders and went on

to be named the club’s under-20

player of the year before moving

to the Dragons this year.

Ravalawa showed his ability

against the Knights, brushing

past five defenders to score from

a desperate play that seemed to

be going nowhere.

Australian media have

now started drawing

comparisons between the

21-year-old and Fijian NRL

legend Noa Nadruku.

He would join several other

former Christchurch school

rugby players who have switched

to league. Last year Shirley

Boys’ High School and St

Bede’s College first XV product,

RISING STAR: Mikaele

Ravalawa, who scored 14 tries

for Burnside High School in

the 2016 UC Championship,

crossed the line twice for the

Dragons in a trial match.

Jamayne Isaako, was named

NRL rookie of the year and also

finished as the competition’s top

points scorer. Meanwhile, 2016’s

most outstanding player in the

UC Championship – Cruz Topai-

Aveai – could also be set to make

his NRL debut after being named

in the Cronulla Sharks squad.

GOLD: Isabella

Carter (right)

teamed up

with Grace

Loveridge

to win the

under-20

women’s

coxless pair

at the New

Zealand

Rowing

Championships.

Rangi girls in the medals

at NZ rowing champs

FORMER RANGI Ruru

Girls’ School students

were among the medals at

the New Zealand Rowing

Championships held on Lake

Ruataniwha in Twizel.

Isabella Carter and Eve

Macfarlane achieved excellent

results in a competitive field.

Carter won gold in both the

under-20 women’s single sculls

and under-20 women’s coxless

pair. She also finished second

in the under-22 women’s

coxless four. Meanwhile,

Macfarlane finished second

in both the premier women’s

double sculls and coxed eight.

The regatta attracts club

and senior athletes, as well as

novice rowers, who compete

on the same course as elite

rowers who have represented

New Zealand on the world

stage. Rangi Ruru’s rowing

manager Ella Vink also took

away three golds in the coxed

four and eights.

Vink says she was thrilled

that Carter and Macfarlane

did so well in the regatta and

expects them to both continue

to succeed on the rowing stage

at whatever level they choose to

compete at.

“That’s the key,” she said.

“At Rangi we support the

girls to achieve the very best

they can and they then have

choices about what they want

to do, where and when. They’ve

worked hard to be in a position

to make these choices and we

will always be here for them,

cheering for them whatever

they choose to do.”

How to support

healthy weight loss

One of the big reasons we

gain weight especially as we

get older is our metabolism

slows down. Metabolism is

the process by which our

bodies convert what we eat

and drink into energy. That

energy is what allows our

body to operate. With a slower

metabolism we often feel like

eating more leading to more

weight gain and less energy.

If we try to do more exercise

with a slower metabolism

often this has little benefit

as we feel hungrier and eat

more.

GO HEALTHY NZ have recently released

an advanced new weight management

formula “CAPSI-SLIM” that contains

clinically researched ingredients. The first

new ingredient Capsimax ® has been shown

to support energy production, healthy

metabolism as well as Lipolysis the breakdown

of stored fat for energy. The formula

also contains Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA

from Garcinia cambogia. HCA has been

shown to help control the appetite so we feel

like eating less. HCA also helps manage your

stress levels preventing excessive emotional

eating. As well as this it also helps reduce the

amount of fat being stored in the body but

instead helps burn this stored fat for energy.

Green tea extract is another

nutrient in the formula that

can help activate the central

nervous system, which in

turn increases the body’s

metabolic rate, decreases fat

absorption and is a powerful

antioxidant. The next nutrient

is chromium a trace mineral

that is essential to stabilize the

body’s blood sugar levels but

is often lacking in our diet.

Chromium may help reduce

carbohydrate and sugar

cravings while increasing

lean body mass. It has been

shown to stimulate weight

loss in people with obesity. The last nutrient

iodine is lacking in the New Zealand

diet. Sufficient iodine is essential for the

production of thyroid hormones, which

regulate the metabolic energy of the body.

As well as weight gain iodine deficiency can

lead to diseases and reduced life-span.

The Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s

Health & Natural Therapy are happy to help

you with your weight loss goals. Everyone

is different and we can help you choose the

Modern diet leads to illness!

It’s not what you eat but what you absorb

Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen

and Shane noticed at the end of the 20th

century more and more of their patients

were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive

issues that were often leading to more

serious chronic health conditions. Being

Naturopaths they wanted to find what was

going wrong and began extensive research.

What they found was although their clients

were generally eating good food they were

not obtaining all the nutrients required for

good health from this food. Further research

showed one of the main problems was the

digestive system, “it’s not what you eat but

what you absorb.” Another well-known

problem is the soils the crops are grown in

have been depleted of many trace elements

and other nutrients that are known to be

essential for good health and therefore the

crops and food are also depleted. If we do

not obtain all the nutrients we require the

body will compensate to some degree but

a lack of too many nutrients will eventually

lead to health issues.

Based on this they

developed VITAL

GREENS, now called

VITAL ALL-IN-

ONE, a nutrient dense

powdered formula

that provides superior

absorption as well

as comprehensive

nutrition. They

decided on a

powdered formula

that could be made

as a great tasting drink because liquid

nutrition is the easiest way for the body

to absorb nutrients especially if digestive

issues are present. The formula provides

78 vital ingredients that work together in

synergy optimising each other’s absorption

and benefits. Vital Greens contains a

carefully balanced blend of nutritionally

rich greens, vegetables, fruits, minerals,

vitamins, essential fatty acids, plant and

herbal extracts, superfoods, powerful

antioxidants, probiotics, essential amino

acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a

uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides

superior nutrition to a multivitamin and

just about anyone will benefit from it. It is

designed to provide all the nutrients the

body requires for good health. It is also ideal

for those in poor health, those recovering

from injury or sickness, children, athletes,

poor eaters and the elderly. It is also suitable

for people with dietary restrictions and is

gluten, wheat and dairy free. VITAL ALL-

IN-ONE will help remove toxic waste from

the body while supporting all organs. You’ll

often notice more energy and endurance,

better sleep, a more positive mood,

skin problems improving, less sickness,

improved eyesight and overall better more

optimum health.

Further information and how to obtain

the maximum benefits from VITAL ALL-

IN-ONE as well as tastings is available

HOME & HEATING

The

importance

of air quality

Choosing the

right heat pump

for your home

The quality of the air we breathe

affects our health and ability to

perform. We breathe in and out

approximately 20,000 litres of

air every day. It is therefore very

important to ensure good air

quality indoors through adequate

ventilation. Ventilation is the

process of air exchange to provide

the necessary air quality that meets

the needs of the occupants for clean,

fresh air. Low oxygen with high

carbon dioxide causes stuffiness

in the room and occupants can

feel drowsy. Invisible harmful

substances like a high content of

dust and tobacco smoke are harmful

and can cause various diseases. Even

bad smells can cause discomfort

or irritate the nervous system. In

summer, it’s easy to open windows

for cross ventilation, however as

winter approaches, we start to shut

up out houses to trap in the heat and

as a result, air quality can decline.

Ventilation includes both the

exchange of air to the outside as

well as circulation of air within

the building. It is one of the

most important factors for maintaining

acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered

and warmed air in winter creates a healthy

environment in which to live and work. In

case of poor or insufficient air intake from

outside, the oxygen content decreases,

humidity and dustiness levels increase. If

exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is

not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity

and harmful substances are not removed.

To ensure the quality of your air, contact

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can

calculate the required air exchange for

your building requirement.

Smooth-Air offers a wide range

of ventilation equipment, from

air vents to ducting for fans,

for both the commercial and

domestic markets. They have

an extensive range of fans and

ventilation components instore

but they can also provide

innovative solutions tailored to

differing requirements.

You can contact Smooth-Air on

0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684).

Are you struggling with the heat of

Summer or wanting to get organised for

Winter? With the ever changing weather

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility

of being able to heat and cool which is an

advantage no other appliance can offer. This

represents great value for your investment

as you can use it all year round. The team

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you

cool this Summer either at home or work.

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services

all the leading brands including Panasonic,

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means

our team can show you which system and

brand will best suit your needs.

With new regulations coming in for

Landlords to provide heating in rentals,

now is a great time to beat the 1st of

July deadline. Inadequate heating and

ventilation can lead to mould growth and

dampness in your property, leading to

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy

living environment. Providing a fixed

heater with a higher heat output and lower

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable

your tenants to heat the area effectively.

It will also discourage them from using

unflued gas heaters which can make a

house damp and mouldy.

It is important to remember, when

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s

warranty does not cover the installation

and consumers could be responsible for

any repair or damage caused to the system

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s

five-star installation guarantee ensures

correct installation, and a demonstration

so customers have an understanding on

how it will best meet their needs.

For a free in home consultation, call

REAL ESTATE

An inspiring lifestyle retreat

869 Purau Port Levy Road, Port Levy

By negotiation – realistic vendor

5-6 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2-3 living rooms | 4 outdoor sheds | 3 bay barn/garage (1.23 hectares approx. Title pending) | Listing Number; 8453

As they say there is no substitute for quality

and this home has that in spades.

North facing, sheltered, and nestled amongst

mature trees and gardens this superbly built

spacious light and airy home of about 337m2

enjoys lovely sea and rural views and is also

very private.

Comprising 5/6 very generous bedrooms,

3 bathrooms including an en suite, and 2/3

living areas. The kitchen and lounge are

enormous, the hallways wide and most of the

rooms open on to covered verandah giving

shelter in Winter and shade in Summer. The

main living area is octagonal in shape and is

huge with a large wood-burner and also opens

onto the verandah and lawn area giving great

indoor outdoor flow.

The farm house style kitchen features plenty

of storage, a Rayburn stove connected to a

wetback and the entire house is centrally

heated with a diesel burner supplying hot

water radiators. Fully insulated throughout

and with double glazed cedar joinery you can

see and feel no expense has been spared on

this build.

The land (1.23 hectares approx. Title pending)

is a mixture of lawns, native plantings a

paddock and 2 very well established orchards.

There are 4 outdoor sheds, a good sized 3 bay

barn/garage, lockable with concrete floor,

3 phase power and toilet and good water

supplies with a spring and deep water bore.

This property gives many options due to its

size, i.e. extended family or Airbnb etc. etc.

and only a 12 minute drive to the Diamond

Harbour ferry giving access to Lyttelton and

the city.

This is the perfect opportunity to have the

lifestyle without having too much to look

after, a chance to be semi self-sufficient and all

this only 45 minutes approx. drive from the

city.

Only approx. 10 years old, to build this now

to this quality would cost well in excess of

the asking price so this is great buying in a

beautiful location.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand

has b en a proached in a bid to

fina ly repair the potholes in New

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.

Coastal-Burw od Ward city

counci lor David East wants

WorkSafe to pre sure the car

park’s private owners into

repairing the potholes which are

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.

WorkSafe chief inspector

a se sment southern Da ren

Handforth said it may be able to

take action under the Health and

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a

person conducting a busine s or

undertaking.”

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe

is aware of the concerns raised by

Cr East abou the car park.

“WorkSafe has completed

an a se sment visi to the site

and is engaging with the owner

to advise them that it is their

responsibility to manage their

risks a propriately.”

Different parts of the car park

are owned by various people

and the Coastal-Burw od

Community Board recently

wrote to them about its concerns

around health and safety.

Cr East said the bi gest i sue

in the past has b en ge ting in

touch with the landlords and

owners and ge ting them to

agr e to anything. “The board

a preciates that multi-ownership

of the parking space may present

a difficulty in co-ordinating

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged

to pa s these concerns onto you,”

said the le ter.

One reply has b en received so

far from an owner who is wi ling

to discu s the i sue. However, a l

the owners would have to agr e

to undertake work.

Cr East said there had b en

a “number of incidences” in

the car park of people injuring

themselves which had gone

unreported.

“I’ve always though that it

has b en quite amazing that we

haven’t had any serious a cidents

or senior citizens perhaps

tri ping in those potholes and

doing themselve some damage.”

He is confiden the new

a proach wi l bring results.

“I think the WorkSafe

involvement may prove to be the

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE ST Andrew’s Co lege big

Competition – ba s player, Tom

Fastier, co lapsed and died the

THE PAPANUI-I nes

Community Board has taken the

rare step of starting a petition

to figh the city council over

funding.

Signatures are being co lected

in a bid to get funding for a community

facility in Shirley.

It comes after the city council

removed funding for the centre

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This

was the site of the former community

centre, which was badly

damaged in the February 2,

20 1, earthquake.

The removal o funding

prompted community board

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten

to stand down, citing it as her “die

in the ditch” project.

Ms Jone said the board’s role

is to represen the community,

and by gathering signatures from

residents, it was fulfi ling that

role.

“One of the roles of a community

board is to represent and act

as advocate for the interests of its

community and this is what we

are doing. The LTP and a nual

plans are a l about lo bying the

council.”

Cave Rock

Apartments’

owners

expect EQC

sign-off

this week

• By Sarla Donovan

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave

Rock Apartments ar expecting the

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.

Body corporate chairman Mike

White said the group had gone

into mediation with IAG and EQC

on February 20, and signed off

on a deal with IAG on February

2 – coincidenta ly seven years

to the day after the February 2,

20 1, earthquake. However, they

are waiting for EQC to sign the

agr ement.

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted

the agr ement, there’ l be no

problem with them doing that.”

The apartment suffered damage

in the February and June, 20 1,

earthquakes and were demolished in

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

difference betw en indemnity value,

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body

corporate.

The mediation agr ement

prevented Mr White from disclosing

the se tlement amount, but he said it

involved the two parties paying “a bit

more money than they’d wanted to

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved

to be a cut above the rest in an

international competition.

New World Ferry Rd butcher

Jeremy Garth and his team, the

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently

came second a the World

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern

Ireland.

It was the firs time Mr Garth

had competed in the cha lenge

and he was “rea ly proud” of

how the team performed.

“We produced some top quality

products and came away

with a g od result so we’re very

ha py,” he said.

The preparation for this year’s

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was

intense as the team members

met in Auckland every two

months for lengthy w ekend

practices.

Mr Garth, who has b en a

butcher for 14 years, said the

competition brought back his

pa sion for the job.

“Doing a l thi stuff and

m eting new people, s eing new

ideas, it just brings that flair

back for you,” he said.

Mr Garth hopes to own a

butcher shop of his own someday

but says for now he wi l focus

on ge ting mor experience

and on the 2020 cha lenge.

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

going back to try and win the

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

traders acro s the districts could

However, the public has li tle

interest in having input into the

i sue.

Only eight submi sions were

received for a potential bylaw

aimed at regulating commercial

activities in public places.

The district council wi l be

holding a hearing for the Public

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial

Activities and Events in

Public Places.

A hearing i scheduled to be

held on Thursday.

The bylaw comes as an increasing

number of mobile traders

are s eking to operate in Selwyn,

especia ly during the summer

months.

In the past year, the district

council has received five inquiries

about se ting up a mobile busine s

on private or public land.

A report said there are two

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted

Rifles Charitable Trust president

Mark A pleton and member

Mike Donaldson t ok their

horses to the sch ol on Monday,

in a bid to educate pupils on the

sacrifice their ancestors made in

World War 1 and World War 2.

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson

a rived a the sch ol dre sed

in World War 1 uniforms while

their horses Tommy and Kruze

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated

to the trust.

The presentation is a prelude

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve

Management Commi t e’s

upcoming Anzac Day service.

As a tribute to those who

served, members of the trust wi l

ride horseback to the service.

Mr A pleton said it was

important children were

educated on what soldiers

wen through during World

War 1 and World War 2.

But he said the presentation

didn’t go into t o much detail

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like.

Children were shown the type

AN U PER Ri carton butcher

has proven himself to be a cut

above his Au sie rivals at an

international competition.

Elite Meats owner Corey

Winder was named in the a l

star team a the World Butchers’

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.

Mr Winder and his team, the

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which

includes W olston butcher

Jeremy Garth, finished second

in the competition.

He said the cha lenge started

as a “transtasman test match”

seven years ago.

The preparation for this

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge

was intense as the team

members met in Auckland

every two months for lengthy

w ekend practices. Mr Winder

said coming second against 1

other countries was a “fantastic”

result.

“To get second behind Ireland

was a huge achievement and to

be ahead of Australia is an

even bi ger thing for us,” he

said.

But Mr Winder admires the

Australian team.

“Those guys over there

[Australia] are on top of their

game, they do a g od job,” he

said.

“And it just showcases that

New Zealand has got some

of the best butchers in the

world,” he said.

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

since the age of 19.

Board chairman Mike Mora

told Western News the submi sion

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s

“You can just about guarant e

it . because we [the community

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if

the city council would endorse the

board’ submi sion.

“I’d like to think so because the

city council has had their eyes

open as we l ove recent years over

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.

Mr Mora said the community

board wi l be “representing and
