retailers 

still losing 

customers 

• By Jake Kenny 

BISHOPDALE Village Mall 

retailers say they are losing 

business as they wait for a 

long-promised mall upgrade. 

The mall is more than 50-yearsold 

and showing its age with tired 

buildings and several empty shops 

– and some business owners are 

fed up. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

pledged $10,000 last December 

to help redevelop the area 

through ‘quick win’ cosmetic 

improvements. 

However, none of the $10,000 

has been spent yet. 

Work has yet to start and some 

local business owners say the 

improvements will do little to 

solve the problem of falling foot 

traffic. 

Bishopdale Businesses 

Association member Tony 

Ralfe said the closure of the 

Westpac branch and the move 

of Mitre 10 to a nearby location 

three years ago, along with New 

World’s move to the far side of the 

mall, meant more was needed to 

help the remaining retailers.

THERE HAS been a lot of amazing gestures 

and things done by the community as a 

result of the terror tragedy. 

So many, most can’t be given the public 

credit they deserve. 

But on page 1 today, we do showcase a 

great effort at St Margaret’s College, led by student Sujean In. 

She started the Paper Chain of Love and it has been added to 

by students from around New Zealand and Australia – each link 

with a message of support. 

“It came from the idea that all of us students are connected and 

that love is stronger than hate. Everyone in Christchurch is interlinked 

and we share a love for each other in spite of the ugliness of 

Friday,” she says. 

How right she is.

Innes Rd bus stop battle lost 

• By Jess Gibson 

THE SUBMITTERS who 

opposed the installation of four 

bus stops along both sides of 

Innes Rd have lost their battle. 

A decision was passed by the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board on Friday to install the 

bus stops on the road between 

Severn and Mersey Sts and near 

Nancy Ave. 

The new bus stops are needed 

for the Orbiter bus after its 

route was changed due to 

the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor project. 

The city council received 35 

submissions when the public 

were asked to give feedback on 

four options for bus stops along 

Innes Rd between Philpotts Rd 

and Cranford St in February. 

Only 13 were in favour of the 

option chosen, which was the 

city council’s preferred choice. 

Twenty-one submissions 

preferred option two, which was 

to install a single set of bus stops 

on Innes Rd near Ethne St. 

One respondent said they 

preferred option two as option 

one may pose a risk to the safety 

of children, with St Francis of 

Assisi School and Mairehau 

Primary beside the proposed 

stop near Nancy Ave.

favour of option three, which 

was to install the bus stop at 

a location other than those 

in options one and two. One 

submitter said they supported 

option four, which was to do 

nothing. 

Feedback was also received 

from Environment Canterbury 

and Go Bus, which both stated a 

preference for option one. 

Similar concerns were raised 

for options one and two, 

including a loss of parking, bus 

stops located over driveways, 

hazards to motorists pulling out 

of their driveways, an intrusion

Because of these concerns, 

the board’s decision was not 

unanimous – city councillors 

Mike Davidson and Pauline 

Cotter, as well as member 

Emma Norrish, supported 

option one. 

Chairwoman Ali Jones and 

member Jo Bryne voted against 

option one as they wanted 

option two, while member John

had them before. “You are 

never going to please everyone 

when you install new bus stops. 

However, we have to weigh up 

the benefits to the community 

as a whole when making these 

decisions,” he said. 

“Ensuring bus stops are 

located within walkable 

distance of as many members 

of the community as possible is 

essential in creating good public 

transport outcomes,” he said. 

There are currently interim 

stops on Innes Rd near Ethne St, 

which will operate until the new 

bus stops are installed.

LOVE: Sujean 

In organised 

the Paper 

Chain of Love 

movement 

for students 

around the 

city, New 

Zealand and 

abroad. 

Sujean’s gesture links schools 

around NZ and Australia 

•From page 1 

“Young people can often feel 

lost as to what you can do when 

this kind of thing happens.” 

She started the Paper Chain of 

Love and it has been added to by 

students from around Christchurch, 

New Zealand and Australia 

– each link with a message of 

support. 

“It came from the idea that all 

of us students are connected and 

that love is stronger than hate 

. . . everyone in Christchurch 

is interlinked and we share a 

love for each other despite the 

ugliness of (March 15),” Sujean 

said. 

“I wanted to create something 

to represent that. What they did 

was try and tear our city down, 

like it was made of paper, but it’s 

stronger than that.” 

Her idea has taken off. 

Students from St Andrew’s, 

Marian, Villa Maria, St Bede’s, 

Catholic Cathedral, Christ’s 

and St Thomas’ of Canterbury 

colleges, as well as Selwyn House, 

Middleton Grange, Avonside 

Girls, Christchurch Girls, Rangi 

Ruru, Cashmere, Papanui, 

Darfield and Shirley Boys high 

schools are also making chains. 

Support has also been shown 

for the initiative at Auckland’s 

New Zealand College of 

Chiropractic, St Oran’s College 

in Lower Hutt, Gisborne Girls’ 

High, Timaru’s Craighead 

Diocesan, Waimate High, St 

Hilda’s Collegiate and Otago

Hamilton’s Waikato Diocesan 

School for Girls, and Masden

Meanwhile, in Australia, 

Loreto College in Ballarat, 

Victoria, Melbourne’s Ivanhoe 

Girls’ Grammar and Mentone 

Girls’ Grammar, Our Lady of 

Mercy College in Parramatta and 

Meriden School in Sydney are 

making chains. 

The chains were delivered 

to the memorial at Deans Ave 

during the Students Uniting in 

Love vigil and more chains have 

been delivered to other sites. 

Bishopdale mall retailers 

still losing customers 

•From page 1 

“Ten thousand dollars won’t 

even get the . . . toilets fixed,” said 

Mr Ralfe. 

Development Christchurch Ltd 

is in charge of the redevelopment, 

working alongside the business 

association and community 

board. 

A DCL spokesperson said 

work to date had included 

meetings with businesses and 

landowners, shopper surveys, 

and discussions with key 

community groups. 

DCL has also conducted 

reviews of traffic, urban design, 

land use, parking, pedestrian 

access and lighting. 

It confirmed that no further 

funding had been set aside for 

the regeneration work. 

“(That) would need to be done 

through council’s Annual Plan 

process,” they said. 

Community board member 

Aaron Campbell said Bishopdale 

Village Mall was a lot further 

down the list in terms of 

development priority. 

“The issue now is that DCL do 

not have budget.” 

A quick walk around the mall 

reveals several empty lots and 

little foot traffic. 

Shopper Nellie Meares 

said the mall had become 

“an afterthought”, especially

Five days to have say on $1m toilets 

THE PUBLIC has five days to 

have a say on the designs for 

the toilet blocks at Roto Kohatu 

Reserve which are set to cost $1 

million. 

The plans are for two separate 

toilet blocks, which would 

be installed at the popular 

recreation site on Sawyers Arms 

Rd. 

There are currently only 

portaloos at the site, which has a 

high number of annual visitors 

who use Lake Roto Kohatu 

and Lake Rua for watersports, 

swimming and picnics. 

Each new block would have 

two cubicles and an outside 

shower. The cost is estimated at 

$282,806 for each building and 

$440,000 to connect them up to 

services. 

One block would be installed 

beside the main car park and the 

other at the canoe polo area. 

The toilet blocks would 

be brought to the site fully 

constructed and then be 

connected to the existing 

infrastructure on Greywacke Rd. 

HOTSPOT: An increase in visitors to Lake Rua and 

Lake Roto Kohatu has led to plans for two new toilet 

blocks. 

(Left) – One of the designs for the new toilet blocks, 

which would each have two cubicles and an outside 

shower. 

In February, city councillor 

Aaron Keown said the high cost 

for the toilets was necessary. 

“It’s so expensive because it’s not 

near a road and half the money is 

just getting the services like the 

fresh water and the electricity in, 

which have to be in two different 

trenches,” said Cr Keown. 

“You can’t do a half-baked job 

on toilets like this,” he said. 

The toilet blocks were approved 

by the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board in July after the city 

council discovered visitors 

were defecating in the bushes 

surrounding the lake. 

The city council is also 

proposing a new 100-space 

car park. Depending on the 

outcome of the consultation, 

the city council aims to have the 

toilet blocks completed before 

December.

Cost of QE II 

facilities could 

be slashed 


• By Julia Evans 

A TOILET block and changing 

facility at QE II Park will not cost 

ratepayers $1 million. 

Instead, city council staff are 

investigating ways to cut back 

the cost of the planned 200 sq m 

building after a request from the 

hearings panel. 

Burwood Ward city councillor 

and hearings panel chairman 

Glenn Livingstone said he was 

pleased with the result. 

“The whole hearings panel 

was very concerned over the 

proposed $1 million cost for the 

changing sheds and toilets and 

was very clear over that,” he said. 

Cr Livingstone previously 

said a house could be built for 

$350,000 so he couldn’t understand 

why a toilet block would 

cost almost triple that. 

However, city council head 

of recreation, sports and events 

Nigel Cox said the $1 million 

budgeted for the toilet and 

changing room block had been 

an estimate. 

The building would have four 

changing rooms with showers and 

toilets, a referees’ changing room, 

storage, public toilets, provision of 

services and landscaping, including 

paving, and vegetation.

Garden award for 94-year-old 

MARIE McCormick has been 

a member of the Christchurch 

Beautifying Association since 

she was in her late 20s. 

At 94-years-old, she has 

just received an award for the 

garden at her Papanui home. 

Mrs 

McCormick was 

one of 93 people 

to receive an 

award at the 29th 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board Garden 

Ali Jones 

Pride Awards 

at the Chapel St 

Centre in Papanui on Thursday. 

Mrs McCormick is not able 

to garden much anymore 

– she leaves that to Rayleen 

Hughes, who has been her 

gardener for about 15 years. 

Mrs Hughes said when 

she goes around to work on the 

garden, Mrs McCormick will 

often point out piles of weeds 

around the place. 

“She just can’t help herself,” 

said Mrs Hughes. 

The Garden Pride Awards 

acknowledge and celebrate 

community gardens and 

the effort residents put into 

them. 

Board chairwoman Ali 

Jones said with recent events 

OPTION ONE 

in the city, she expected people 

would want to stay home and 

the awards would have to be 

rescheduled. But this was not 

the case. 

“Staff contacted recipients 

and others invited, and they 

overwhelmingly said they 

wanted the ceremony to go 

ahead,” said Ms Jones. 

“I think that’s wonderful and 

I am looking forward to seeing 

some beautiful gardens after a 

week of real distress, sadness 

and tragedy for so many,” she 

said. 

The attendees included award 

recipients and their guests, 

Christchurch Beautifying 

Association representatives, Papanui-Innes 

Community Board 

members, Papanui High School 

representatives and council 

staff. 

The awards are a city council 

initiative which were started in

1991. It has been a joint venture 

between the community board 

and the association since 1997. 

The association judges select 

award-winners by viewing all 

gardens which are visible from 

the street. 

The gardens can be 

residential or commercial. 

The judges consider the effort, 

overall tidiness and impact 

of the garden on the street

Venue offered for Anzac Day service 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

RANNERDALE Veterans 

Village has offered to hold an 

Anzac Day ceremony in Upper 

Riccarton due to the closure of a 

historic library in the suburb. 

But the long-standing Anzac 

service organised by the Upper 

Riccarton Memorial Library 

committee still will not go 

ahead. 

Rannerdale Veterans Village 

general manager Charmaine 

Diver told Nor’West News it was 

happy for the service to be held 

at its spaces and has offered it to 

the committee. 

Last year the library service 

was held at Rannerdale because 

the library was closed in 

October 2017 by the city council. 

Memorial library chairwoman 

Aynslie Walter previously told 

Nor’West News it wouldn’t be 

organising a separate event at 

Rannerdale because it was quite 

an exercise to close off part of 

the building so there can be a 

dawn service. 

But Ms Diver said it is not 

an exercise to close off part of 

Rannerdale. 

“We just open up the venue so 

we are not here to facilitate,” she 

said. 

But Mrs Walter said it has now 

been decided representatives 

will go to the Anzac service

organised by Rannerdale. 

“It is far too late for me to 

arrange another service . . . we 

have already told people we are 

not doing a service this year,” 

she said. 

The library was closed after 

an engineering assessment 

raised concerns over structural 

strength. Members of the Upper 

Riccarton Memorial Library 

Committee have previously 

opposed the closure of the 

library. 

Opened on March 19, 1919, 

the library was the first of seven 

war memorials to be built in 

New Zealand. This year would

Wellbeing & Beauty 

New centre provides 

personalised weight 

management solutions 

In November 2018, Dr Jonie Girouard 

and her husband Dr Michael Girouard, 

opened The Girouard Centre in 

Silverstream, Kaiapoi, dedicated to weight 

management and wellness. 

The couple came to New Zealand three 

years ago from the United States, where 

Dr Michael was one of the country’s 

most experienced, leading bariatricians 

and Dr Jonie practised as an obesity 

specialist. Already managing six other 

centres internationally via the internet, 

they wanted to open a dedicated weight 

management centre in the Christchurch 

region, where they would treat people with 

weight management issues on a completely 

individual basis. 

Dr Jonie has a particular interest in 

lipoedema, a condition that affects around 

11 per cent of the female population, but 

is often confused with fibromyalgia and/or 

obesity due to the lack of awareness of this 

condition. 

As she explains, lipoedema is a painful, 

progressive condition that causes swelling 

in the hips, buttock and legs, and as it is not 

related to excess calorie intake it can’t be 

treated with the usual dieting and exercise 

regime. 

“It is a complicated disease that often 

develops in families, and if left untreated 

it will progress, often leading to excess 

body weight and obesity due to the lack of 

exercise through decreased mobility,” she 

says. 

Patients with lipoedema seeking help at 

the Girouard Centre are initially assessed 

to determine family history and lifestyle 

and are provided with basic knowledge 

of lipoedema to help them understand 

the condition. An individual tailored 

programme covering meal planning and 

appropriate exercise is provided, and 

the patient is often referred to Burwood 

Hospital for compression and lymphatic 

manual drainage therapy. 

“The services we offer are unique 

in New Zealand,” Dr Jonie says. 

The Girouard Centre offers nonsurgical 

treatment for all types of 

weight management problems, 

with every person receiving an 

individualised treatment plan 

according to their needs, so they can 

achieve their goals. 

Personal goals may include reaching 

their ideal weight, reducing their 

cholesterol levels or preventing diabetes. 

Avoiding the yo-yo weight gain and loss 

that some people wrestle with is equally 

important in weight maintenance and 

optimal health, Dr Jonie says. 

The centre is open for consultation 

on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 

appointments can be made by calling 

(03) 327 2273, or through The Girouard 

Centre website or Facebook page. It Dr Michael and Dr Jonie 

is located at Unit 6, 42 Silverstream Girouard, who have opened 

Boulevard, Silverstream, Kaiapoi. their new centre in Silverstream

Wellness Centre

supervised, non-surgical weight management

How do we regain 

what we lost? 

Justice of the 

peace and 

Fendalton- 

Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Board 

member 

Shirish 

Paranjape 

reflects on the terror attack 

During my overseas travels, 

I would often say (boast?) that 

New Zealand is one of the 

most peaceful countries on 

earth, police normally do not 

carry arms and politicians and 

other leaders are extremely 

approachable. 

They often drive their own cars 

and travel economy class like all 

New Zealanders do. 

Only our prime minister has a 

security person when in public. 

My overseas friends would 

confirm that they had heard 

same/similar opinions about 

New Zealand. Those who had 

visited would recount good 

memories of their visit. 

One day, one person changed 

it all. 

The question now is, “how do 

we regain what we lost?” 

I feel we should not take any 

knee-jerk reactions due to this 

incident. 

Even if changes are necessary, 

for example, with the gun 

control laws, they should be wellconsidered/well-discussed 

and 

debated decisions, rather than 

“heat of the moment knee-jerk 

reactions”. 

There is no need to swing from 

one end to the other, although 

inevitably, a few things may need 

to change. 

I have been fortunate enough 

to have travelled to many 

countries all over the world. 

Friends, family members and 

colleagues often I ask me if I feel 

safe in a particular country or 

city, and how do I judge it. 

My answer always is the less 

police/security persons I see, the 

safer I feel at any place and the 

presence of families and children 

in public area, particularly after 

sunset, makes me feel safer at any 

place. 

Too much police/security 

presence can be unnerving, as we 

found out this week. 

The presence of a police 

helicopter circling over us had, 

for many residents, exactly the 

opposite effect than the desired. 

The stated official purpose 

was to provide assurance to the 

community, but it’s presence had 

many residents worried. 

I recall a story from several 

years back. 

For a week, I had hosted guests 

from the Middle East. 

On the last day of the visit, they 

said: “Shirish, you have done so 

much for us, and shown us many 

places here, but we have not seen 

one thing at Christchurch.” 

“What is that?,” I asked. 

“In the whole week here, we 

haven’t seen even one officer of 

New Zealand Police,” was their 

reply, being so used to police 

presence back in their country. 

I took them to Christchurch 

Central Police Station, where 

they not only saw an officer, 

but the lovely officer smilingly 

obliged and allowed the visitors 

to take photos with him and his 

police car. 

This is the Christchurch, this 

is the New Zealand we like, and 

others envy. 

Let us do everything we can, 

individually and collectively, to 

regain it. 

I end this article with a poem 

which my daughter Neha wrote 

and sent from London, where 

she is undergoing her two-year 

overseas experience. 

To Christchurch and its people, 

Too many innocent lives lost 

Too many prayers left unanswered 

Too many people hurt 

Too many dreams shattered 

Too much hate in the world 

Just too much anger 

How did it come to this? 

Is all of the world now in danger? 

The people of Christchurch, we 

like our red and black 

But not the red that comes with 

blood stains 

Not the black that accompanies a 

terror attack 

Christchurch will be back up 

though, 

Once again rising from the ashes 

Once again, our people will find 

that smile 

After we’ve wiped tears off each 

other’s eyelashes 

Christchurch is my home, as it is 

yours 

I hope you all feel safe again, 

albeit with horrific scars 

I wish for this paradise to be 

beautiful again 

I hope you see your prayers 

weren’t in vain

Teen kart driver off to Europe 

CHRIST’S COLLEGE student 

Jacob Douglas will make a little 

bit of Kiwi karting history when 

he lines up at the first round 

of the FIA Karting Academy 

Trophy series in Germany in 

May. 

Although more and more New 

Zealand karters have been travelling 

to Europe to compete in 

recent years, Jacob, 13, is the first 

to be invited by the FIA Karting 

Academy to contest 

its annual 

trophy series. 

“It’s acknowledgement, 

if you 

like, from the 

very top people 

in our sport,” 

Jacob 

said KartSport 

New Zealand 

president 

Douglas 

Graeme Moore. 

“Drivers like Jacob are truly 

world class, and that by being 

able to produce drivers of his 

obvious calibre, the sport here 

must be in pretty good shape.” 

In spite of his age, Jacob is 

already a veteran of several trips 

to Europe to race. The two-time 

NZ Vortex Mini ROK champion 

led a four-strong New Zealand 

squad to its best finish yet at the 

annual ROK Cup International 

event in Italy in October last 

year. 

“It’s a big commitment, 

particularly for a 13-year-old, but 

it’s what Jacob wants to do so as a 

family we are right behind him,” 

BIG THINGS: Jacob Douglas (front) will become the first Kiwi 

to compete in the FIA Karting Academy Trophy Series. PHOTO: 

FAST COMPANY/UMBERTO FRAENKEL-SPORTINPHOTO 

said his father Craig Douglas. 

Having already proved he 

can foot it with the best young 

Vortex drivers in the world, 

Jacob says his goal is to establish 

himself in Europe and he 

believes that this year’s threeround 

series – in which up to 

50 invited drivers use the same 

model of OTK kart – is just the 

stepping stone he needs. 

“I am really proud that 

Kartsport New Zealand is 

supporting me,” said Jacob. 

“It is a great series to introduce 

me to European junior racing 

and I am extremely excited to 

continue where I left off last year 

at the ROK Cup with Lennox 

Racing. I am looking forward to 

SPORT 

doing New Zealand proud and 

everybody who has helped take 

to where I am today. I am also 

fortunate that my KartSport 

New Zealand academy coach, 

Tiffany Hamilton, will be by my 

side to help guide me through 

the weekends when I am up 

there. Tiff has lots of European 

racing experience for me to draw 

on.” 

This year the series will be 

contested over three rounds, 

starting at Wackersdorf in 

Germany in early May, before 

heading to Italy for a second 

round in June, then the third and 

final in September. 

Each year for the past nine 

years, drivers representing what 

FIA characterises as “the best 

prospects between the ages of 12 

and 14 from over 40 countries 

around the world” have battled 

it out in what effectively is a onemake 

kart/engine/tyre series, 

aimed at uncovering the next 

Lewis Hamilton. 

One former academy trophy 

series winner whose name will 

be familiar to fans is Toyota 

Racing Series race and round 

winner and 2018 series runnerup, 

Richard Verschoor, of the 

Netherlands, who won the 

academy trophy in 2014. 

In Brief 


VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS 

St Andrew’s College won 

the Canterbury secondary 

school senior girls volleyball 

championships at Pioneer 

Stadium, defeating St Margaret’s 

College in the final. Burnside 

High School finished third. 

Meanwhile, the senior boys title 

was won by Riccarton High 

School, which defeated Shirley 

Boys’ High School in the final. 

BURNSIDE TENNIS TEEN 

Burnside High School tennis 

player Diego Quispe-Kim 

has been selected in the New 

Zealand team to play at the 

ITF World Junior Tennis 

competition in Kuala Lumpur, 

Malaysia, from April 1-6. 

The 13-year-old will team up 

with Jack Chapman and Alex 

Mirkov for the international 

team competition for players 

aged 14 and under. With more 

than 100 countries represented 

in the opening stages of the 

competition, the New Zealand 

team will look to book a spot at 

the world finals later in the year. 

SISTER SCHOOL RUGBY 

St Bede’s College’s sister-school 

Sapporo Yamanote from Japan 

borrowed several St Bede’s 

rugby players in order to play 

against an under-18 selection. 

Sapporo Yamanote won the 

match. However, given the fact 

that more than half of the 11 

tries scored were by St Bede’s 

players, both schools won in one 

way or another.
