he had little time before he
would succumb to terminal
brain cancer.

But 18 months on the former
Riccarton Knights Rugby
League Club president has
outlived the prognosis and has
a fighting chance of going into
remission.
In September 2017, Mr Barclay,
60, was diagnosed with a
brain tumour and was given
about 12-18 months to live.
But 17 rounds of chemotherapy
later, Mr Barclay said
he is feeling fine with the only
side effects from his treatment

Hopes high to see project finished after health scare

He will be going into his
18th round of chemotherapy
today before having a magnetic
resonance imaging scan to
check if cancer had spread.

Alternative
cycleway
idea
mooted for
Hornby
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN ALTERNATIVE route has
been created in a bid to save
Hornby’s infrastructure from
having to undergo major changes
for a proposed cycleway.
Greater Hornby Residents’ Association
treasurer Ross Houliston
has presented a new route to
the city council which he believes
will be safer for cyclists to use.
His solution is to have the
Hornby section of the cycleway
run alongside the old Little River
branch railway line to meet up
with the Christchurch Southern
Motorway.
Mr Houliston has suggested the
cycleway runs from Carmen Rd to
one side of Branston St – depending
on where easements could be
obtained.
The cycleway would then join
onto the Springs Halswell Reserve
on the corner of Springs Rd and
Halswell Junction Rd before
joining up to the Christchurch
Southern Motorway.
His reasoning was the cycleway
would be safer, cheaper and could
link up to Halswell, Prebbleton
and Wigram.

A BIG moment in Hornby’s history looms
over Easter – the bowls club’s 100th
anniversary.
On page 8 today, we go over the club’s
history (supplied by the bowls club – many
thanks), which originally started in 1919 as
the Paparua Bowling Club.
And the club’s first president had a very interesting name:
Julius Caesar. He was a local farmer.
By 1928, the club needed a name change. Bowlers from the
city mistook the club for a prison club and would head out to
the jail. So it became the Hornby Bowling Club. In 1990 it was
renamed Hornby Domain Bowling Club to avoid confusion
with the Hornby Working Mens Bowling Club.
In 2006, the club was given its current name Bowls Hornby.
Have a great celebration!

Oak trees saved from axe
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A STAND of contentious oak
trees in Upper Riccarton have
been saved from the axe.
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board has
declined a request from Villa
Grove residents to have 22 oak
trees removed from their street.
The decision was delayed for
about six months as a result
of board members wanting to
inspect the streets themselves
and not all
residents previously
being
aware of the
issue.
Western
News reported
Helen
Broughton
in September
a 24-signature
petition was
presented to
the community board calling
for the trees to be removed.
Residents had complained
in the past the trees were a
nuisance because of an excess
of leaves, some of which were lit
by party-goers. Anxiety in high
winds was also a problem.
They had asked the trees be
replaced with smaller and more
suitable trees for the area.
Instead, city council staff
will remove the tree leaves
once a month during May and
June, and greater frequency if
required in exceptional circumstances,
such as bad weather.
Community board deputy
chairwoman Helen Broughton
said the city council will continue
to remove the tree leaves
monthly but over the winter
months the trees are barren.
Because the majority of the
trees were in healthy condition, it
was recommended they remain.
They were also taller than
6m meaning they are protected
under the city council district
plan and would need resource
consent to fell.
Riccarton Road is
for business
OPEN
Mrs Broughton also told the
board at a public meeting on
Tuesday petition creator Paula
Stevens had accepted the decision.
Ms Stevens has also told Mrs
Broughton that she could no
longer lead the petition. This
was due to several of the people
who had signed the petition
having died or have moved.
Western News was unable to
contact Ms Stevens.
Mrs Broughton said if
residents were concerned by the
decision, they could come back
to the community board in six
to 12 months.
PROTECTED:
Contentious
trees at Villa
Grove will not
be removed.
She said one of the problems
residents on front sections faced
were issues with acorns dropping
onto their properties.
“The whole front lawn gets
tangled up with acorns and then
if you are not very good at bending,
picking them up it becomes
difficult,” she said.
But chairman Mike Mora said
it becomes a complex issue when
a resource consent is required
for removing every tree over a
certain height.
“If they are really concerned
about the leaves they can always
rake them up and put them in
the green bin,” he said.

DOMAIN CAR PARK
The green light has been given for
a new car park to be installed at
the south side of Halswell Domain.
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board approved for
the car park to go ahead at its
meeting on Tuesday. It would be
located along the Edward Stafford
Ave frontage. The park would
help alleviate parking pressure as
a result of the Halswell Domain
having high use, especially on
Saturday during winter.
TREE MULCH REMOVAL
Tree mulch will be removed
from Denton Park following
concerns raised by the Greater
Hornby Residents’ Association
treasurer Ross Houliston. He was
concerned the tree mulch behind
Denton Oval was an “extremely
high fire risk”. City council
community parks manager Al
Hardy said while an exact date
had not been finalised the mulch
will be removed and utilised at
other garden beds throughout the
city for weed suppression.

Veterinary practice
Bilateral anal Gland SurGery
Anal gland issues are
common problems
we see in our canine
patients today. The
anal gland has no
real function except
it’s the dogs “special
scent” or parfum.
This secretion has a
distinctive fish smell
to it making it very
unpleasant for us,
plus its heaving with
bacteria! Not a good
look or smell on the
new sofa.
Dogs present
because of pain and anal irritation leading
to scooting, licking or biting of the area.
Often it’s too painful for these dogs to toilet
so they become constipated. Severe cases
become infected and the anal sacs swell and
can eventually burst, discharging pus either
outwardly or inwardly around the perineum.
Occasionally anal sac fistulas develop which
persist for ages. Impaction of anal sacs can
lead to toxaemia and dermatitis. Some dogs
present because they leak anal gland fluid
constantly which becomes very difficult to live
with if your dog is an indoor pet.
No one really knows why anal glands become
a problem. Some cases present due to
diarrhoea, constipation or anal sphincter
laxity. Some cases are related to anal duct
obstruction which leads to infection,
abscessation and sometimes rupture of the
sac. Other cases are due to hypersecretion
which can happen with food allergies, thyroid
diseases and infectious skin disease.
Whatever the cause, my job is to rectally
express them which isn’t particularly nice for
the patient as often by this stage they are
painful. It is a procedure mostly I can perform
awake.
If the anal sacs are infected I either prescribe
antibiotics systemically or I instill an antibiotic/
anti-inflammatory ointment into the sacs for
2-3 treatments. Sometimes a prescription food
is recommended ( either for food allergies or
a diet high in fiber) and revisits are advised to
check the sacs.
In chronic, recurring and difficult cases that
don’t respond to
medical therapy,
often the best
option is bilateral
surgical removal.
This option can
completely eliminate
the disease and
make the owners
and dogs’ life far
more bearable. Dogs
can live without
these anal sacs – it’s
just a fiddley surgery
and great care has
to be taken when
working around the
anus to avoid incontinence issues.
I have had lots of practice removing anal
glands over the past 30 years – so much so
that I get referrals from other clinics.
Juno, a young Labrador cross is having
bilateral anal gland surgery. Juno presents
every 2-3 months with anal glands that just
leak and wreek everywhere. They are not
infected nor painful to squeeze. She has
received various medical treatments and is on
a Royal Canin hypoallergenic diet, but nothing
seems to help.
The surgery takes roughly 60-90 minutes,
because I am very careful around this delicate
area. Juno is maintained throughout the
surgery on intravenous fluids and Megan
my surgical nurse is monitoring all her vitals
(heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, body
temperature and oxygen saturation) to ensure
a safe anaesthetic and quick recovery.
Juno was a star patient and the two anal
glands were removed. She was discharged
on antibiotics, pain medications and local
anaesthetic cream to apply to the surgical
area. I recommended an E collar to wear
initially to stop her worrying her surgical site
and a soft diet 5 days post surgery.
My advice is – don’t struggle with this
problem in your family cat or dog as it’s
not going away. These glands have no vital
function and can be removed safely and
effectively in the right surgical hands, leading
to a better quality life without the nasty
smells!!
Dr Michele McMaster
IDEA: Greater Hornby Residents’ Association treasurer Ross Houliston has
presented an alternative cycleway route to the city council.
Alternative cycleway idea
•From page 1
He said the alternative
route would make it easy
for Hornby schools to join
up to, few pedestrians use
Branston St and it
would go through
all the industrial
areas including
past Gough CAT
Christchurch.
In February the
city council went
out for consultation
on the cycleway
which runs from
Templeton through to the
central city, which it has
received a high volume of
submissions on.
For Hornby, the city
council is proposing the
cycleway run from the
Waterloo Rd/Gilberthorpes
Rd intersection through
Waterloo Rd and Hei Hei
Rd, Buchanans Rd and
Carmen Rd.
The route will also travel
through Sockburn, Upper
Riccarton and Riccarton.
Mr Houliston has
previously criticised the
city council’s proposal with
concerns changes
to Hei Hei Rd
could mean losing
car parking on
the east side
across from St
Bernadette’s
School.
He was also
concerned about
the narrowing of
intersections Tirangi and
Aurora St and Keri Keri
Place with Hei Hei Rd.
City council’s transport
planning and delivery
manager Lynette Ellis
said the city council has
received Mr Houliston’s
alternative route but has
not had the chance to
determine if it is viable.
Meanwhile, Mr
Houliston has questioned
Ross Houliston
why some of the proposed
roads for the cycleway
project had been labelled
committed contractually
in the city council’s draft
annual plan.
But Ms Ellis said an
administrative error
resulted in the roads being
incorrectly classified and
will be corrected in the
final annual plan.
She confirmed the roads
had not been committed
contractually for the
cycleway project.
But Mr Houliston said:
“If that is an administrative
error, how many other
administration errors
are there in the draft
annual plan and does it
need to be completely reinvestigated?”
Former city councillor
Bob Shearing said he would
support any use of the
railway corridor for the
cycleway.

Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
JANE LEONARD was
like millions of others left
heartbroken and wondering
what she could do to help
following the city’s deadly terror
attacks.
On the day of March 15, she
was driving to teach a private
drama lesson when she first
became aware of the mosque
shootings unfolding.
She was travelling to the
Impact Dance and Stage School,
which is located just a block
away from Deans Ave on Kilmarnock
St, when she spotted
police cars circulating the area.
“I checked the news and I was
like okay there is a shooting at
the mosque, it must be hatemotivated
. . . it was very intense,
I think it was overwhelming and
that sense of earthquake mentality
and that sense of shock kind
of came back,” Leonard said.
With news outlets making
regular updates a shooter was on
the loose, Leonard and the pupil
made a decision to get in their
cars and leave the studio.
“It was so heartbreaking
because New Zealand let alone
Christchurch is not used to an
act of violence such as this,” she
said.
Deeply saddened, the following
Saturday morning Leonard
came up with an idea to band
the city’s performing arts community
together to produce a
concert to raise funds for the
Muslim community.
We Are One - A Benefit
Concert will showcase a large
line-up of vocalists including
musical artist Ali Harper, choir
The Vocal Collective and Epic
Entertainment.
The cast from Showbiz
Christchurch’s production of We
Will Rock You will sing along
with a performance from a band
at St Andrew’s College, who has
written an original song in light

Leonard said the city has one
of the biggest performing arts
communities in the country and
it only felt right to come together
and raise funds.
All ticket sales will go to the
Givealittle Victim Support Official
Page: Christchurch Shooting
Victims’ Fund.
“Music knows no boundaries,
no race, no colour of skin or religion.
It is a universal language
that brings humanity together
and in times of crisis that is exactly
what we must do,” Leonard
said.
She said the concert is not only
about raising funds, it is about
being united, standing against
hate, reaching out to others and
continuing the conversation long
after the headlines have died
down.
The concert also received
a “phenomenal” donation of
up to $2000 from former city
performer Craig Ogilvie to make
sure the concert goes ahead.

KEY ROLE: Jim Barclay outside the Riccarton Knights Rugby
League Club’s changing rooms.
Clubroom upgrade
dream come true
for former president
•From page 1
At his last MRI scan in February,
Mr Barclay was told most
of the cancer was under control
and it was possible he could go
into remission.
With a brighter forecast for
the future, Mr Barclay’s dream
for the Riccarton Knights Rugby
League Club to get new changing
rooms is likely to come into
fruition.
Mr Barclay said it was important
to get the new changing
rooms upgraded to cater for its
two playing fields.
“We had early games and late
games, there wasn’t enough
space for our teams and the visitors,”
he said.
Mr Barclay, who has been involved
with the club for about 33
years and president for 15 years
had a key role in the fundraising.
Over the past five years, the
rugby league club has raised
$80,000 for the upgrade, which
is estimated to cost more than
$250,000.
The club also received $80,000
from the New Zealand Lottery
Grants Board, $20,000 from The
Lion Foundation and $20,000
from the NZ Community Trust
to cover resource consent requirements.
It is also waiting for approval
from the city council for a
loan of $50,000 to pay off the
upgrade.
Mr Barclay’s long association
with the club has seen him play
in the seniors, the reserves and
the president’s division for over
35s.
But since retiring from his
role as president Mr Barclay has
been making the most of his life
travelling and watching what he
eats.
In the past year, he has
travelled to Rarotonga, visited
Melbourne for the State of
Origin series and had a trip to
Fiji.
In May he is planning to travel
to Brisbane to watch the NRL
Magic Round Brisbane 2019
series.
With the rugby league season
starting recently, Mr Barclay
said he also has more time to
enjoy watching the games rather
than worrying about the work
behind the scenes.
•The club is looking for
more volunteers to help out.

Hornby
Community
Care Centre
manager Linda
Turner writes
about Hornby’s
youth being an
important part
of the community’s future
It was a Monday morning and
I was driving through Hornby;
it was obvious that it had been a
busy weekend for some.
Fences, power boxes, and Denton
Park had been targeted.
As I arrived at the Hornby
Community Centre, I noticed it
hadn’t been spared either – taggers
had been hard at work.
I agree with giving individuals
the opportunity to express
themselves.
I appreciate creativity, whether
it be with language, music or
art, but I draw the line (no pun
intended) at tagging.
It was hard not to be annoyed
as I cleaned off the taggers’ work,
but it gave me time to question
why.
Maybe I am naïve but I just
don’t get it.
Is it a one-fingered salute to
society, or are some of our youth
trying to tell us something?
Frustration? Boredom? Are
they just letting the world know
that they are here? Whatever the
reasoning, our community needs
to take notice of it.
There have been many conversations
since the earthquakes
about what is lacking for Hornby.
Our youth are part of our community
who need to be involved
in those conversations, along
with many other sectors.
These conversations are
important for the future of our
community well-being.

John Filsell said funding is still
available for the demolition if it
is required.
The city council has put aside
about $80,000 for the demolition
the 64-year-old memorial hall on
Pound Rd.
The Yaldhurst Memorial
Committee previously asked the
city council if the funding could
be used to instead strengthen the
hall.
Mr Filsell said the funding
is part of a wider programme
budget but could be repurposed

over time if the city council has
more pressing needs.
Committee member Michelle
Clark said it still wants to move
quickly on repairing the hall.
She said the committee has
done a substantial amount of
work on the business case but
it needs to finalise some of the
costs to determine how the
strengthening of the hall can be
funded.
The committee’s key priorities
are to repair the hall’s roof and to
bring it up to 67 per cent of the
New Building Standard.
The roof repairs are estimated
to cost about $5000, while the
cost of strengthening the hall is
still being finalised.
“We want to establish the
building is over 37 per cent (of
the New Building Standard),
which means we can get in (and)
clean it up,” Miss Clark said.
The committee’s engineer
believes the hall is above 37
per cent of the New Building
Standard.
However, an agreement needs
to be established between the
city council’s engineer and the
committee’s engineer over the
building’s current rating.
The committee has made
a funding application to the
city council draft Annual Plan
2019/2020 to make the hall
watertight and for strengthening
work.
The next step is for the
committee to put forward a new
engineering assessment on the
hall to the city council.
Miss Clark said the most
disappointing thing was most of
the damage happened before the
earthquakes. The main damage
is to the spouting on the roof,
which was caused when the
copper was ripped off and stolen
before the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Because the roof wasn’t fixed,
part of the ceiling collapsed,
which caused the carpet and area
underneath the floorboards to
rot as a result of water damage.
The hall also sustained cosmetic
cracks in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.

Bowls Hornby’s 100th birthday
PIONEERS: Marc Dupree
Plato and Murray Stewart
rode their electric unicycles
over the newly-opened
Sumner Rd.
Halswell
unicyclist

Sumner Rd
• By Louis Day
HALSWELL’S MARC Dupree
Plato has made history.
Mr Dupree Plato and his
friend Murray Stewart became
the first people to ride electric
unicycles over the newly-opened
Sumner Rd.
The electric unicycle
enthusiasts drove halfway in a
car and rode the remainder of
the road to Lyttelton on their
unicycles.
The two then stopped in at
Wunderbar to perform a few
stunts for the patrons.
“The owner couldn’t believe it,
he was moving furniture around
so we could do loops around the
pool table,” said Mr Stewart.
The pair then unicycled
through the supermarket.
“People were just staring and
their mouths were just hanging
open.”
Mr Stewart said he regularly
used his unicycle to run errands.
He even used it to visit his
father in hospital.
“The parking is such a
nightmare so you just jump on
the unicycle, straight through
reception to the lift and I was up
to the third floor in no time to
see my dad.”
However, Mr Stewart’s antics
saw him banned from Hornby
Mall.
“The security guard told me
that skateboards and scooters
were not allowed in here so she
barred me from the mall.”
BOWLS HORNBY will
welcome in its centenary on
Friday with three days of
celebrations in the club and on
the green.
The club was established in
1919 under the name Paparua
Bowling Club and has been
through a number of name
changes and seen some of New
Zealand’s finest bowlers grace
the green over the past 100
years.
Bowls Hornby’s first president
was Julius Caesar, who was
a local farmer rather than a
roman politician and general.
The club’s first name change
was in 1928 when bowlers
from the city went looking for
the Paparua Club within the
precinct of the prison. Out of
necessity, the name was changed
to Hornby Bowling Club.
In 1990 it was renamed
Hornby Domain Bowling Club
to avoid confusion with the
Hornby Working Mens Bowling
Club. Finally in 2006, the club
was given its current name along
with the advent of new coloured
playing shirts.
The biggest success on the
green came in 2004 when the
club’s sevens team won the
national title.
The team was made up of
Gary Lawson in the singles,
Steve Ditford (skip) and Colin
Lowery (lead) in the doubles.
The fours team was Robin
Moffat (skip), Graeme Weeds
(third), Gus Templeton (two)
and Alan Hawes (lead).
At the finals tournament in
Palmerston North, the title
decider came down to the final
singles match between Lawson
and Mike Kernaghan from

All New for Avonside
at Ōrua Paeroa
A new school, a
new location, and a
new uniform! What
a fabulous year for
Avonside Girls’ High
school as a new chapter
in the school’s 90 plus
year history is written
this year. As Avonside
Girls’ High School moves into its new
home on Travis Road at the beginning of
term 2, it will take with it its traditions,
culture, history and values and its focus
on working with every student to help
her identify her strengths and develop
her talents so that she can flourish in her
future.
Just over 1000 girls will move onto the
new site in Travis Road and experience
learning in New Zealand’s newest
secondary school buildings. The campus
which also includes a satellite unit of
Ferndale School, is New Zealand’s first
ever co-location of a state girls’ school and
a state boys’ school sharing the same site
and some key facilities and yet delivering
teaching and learning within their own
single-sex learning environments.
One look inside the impressive entrance
foyer reveals an exciting campus with
fabulous facilities to enhance learning for
students.
In the front section of the school lie the
shared facilities, boasting the reception
and administrative centre for both
schools, a spacious library, a cultural
space, two theatres, a cafeteria with indoor
and outdoor seating, and student kitchen
facilities alongside a commercial kitchen
for teaching senior Hospitality courses.
The design of the school then separates
into two separate schools each designed
around its own courtyard. The school
is organised by learning areas, denoting
the school’s support of subject discipline
knowledge and skills, yet with adjacencies
that provide opportunities for learning
to be connected across learning areas for
students.
Avonside supports the development
of the whole student with a strong
ako programme delivered within a
vertical form structure and wonderful
opportunities for involvement beyond
classroom learning time. The superb
facilities in the new campus certainly
enhance those opportunities for our
students.
Avonside Girls’ High School has
embraced this opportunity to provide this
exciting new brand of 21st century style
single-sex education – the best of both
worlds!

The new
campus features a

Kiwi Soul Global Vision
At Shirley Boys’ High School, students
are encouraged to participate in a vast

their own cultural roots.
Shirley Boys’ High School encourages

Learning occurs both inside and outside
the classroom, reflecting the desire of the
school to focus on teaching the whole
person to ensure a lifelong desire for
self-improvement. At Shirley Boys’ this
is known as “BTB – Better than Before”.
BTB leads to achievement, which can
be as modest as getting fit for a sport or
improving a test score or learning to sing
in a choir. BTB can also be as spectacular
as achieving a Premier New Zealand
Academic Scholar Award (awarded to the
Top 10 academic students in NZ).

Choosing the
right school for
your Tamariki
When choosing the right school for our
tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’ we have
when we visit, as much as by the programmes
that schools have on offer. The world demands
fewer people who can do repetitive tasks and
more people who can think creatively and
critically. That’s why our vision, our aspiration,
as a school is to be ‘A centre of creative
excellence’ in everything that we do, whether
visual arts or chemistry, volleyball or music,
management or curriculum organisation. In
doing this we haven’t forgotten the importance
of the strong relationships that we build with
all of our students, and the importance of
individualising learning pathways so that
we come as close as we can to meeting every
individual student’s needs. Hornby High
School’s feeling is one of positive relationships
that support learning. Students often comment
that we feel like whānau, like family. This all
takes place within our amazing new facilities,
some of the most modern in the country.
These facilities are allowing us to develop a
curriculum that caters for individual needs,
that supports student passions, and helps
our students to grow their heart for their
community, while emphasising our values
and promoting the ethos of kindness, of
manaaki. We are also committed to engaging
with whānau in any and every way we can. I

Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch working together
Working together for the good of students
and families has been a successful recipe
for Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch.
The Christian School Network has been
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian
School, Hillview Christian School and
Middleton Grange School decided in
2005 that there was much to be gained
by working together cooperatively.
They recognised opportunities to share
successful teaching practice, curriculum
development initiatives across a wide
spectrum of school operations as well as
cooperatively strengthening their special
Christian Character. They recognised that
their ability to serve students and families
was greatly enhanced by working together
in a close and trusting relationship.
The success of the network has seen
other schools wanting to join in. Early

Middleton Grange School was
established in 1964 with the aim of
providing a first rate general education
and biblically based teaching in the
Christian faith. We see learning not
as an end in itself but something that
happens alongside the development of
character and a desire to serve God by
serving others.
We look forward to seeing our young
people excelling in academic, sporting,
cultural and service activities with a
sense of personal achievement. We also
want them to identify the strengths,
skills, talents and abilities that God has
put within each one of them, not just
for their personal benefit, but for the
benefit of the communities that they
live in. Serving others with compassion
and kindness is part of the ‘DNA’ of
Middleton Grange School. We want our
young people to engage in the society
and culture that they live in, to be a
positive influence and to point others to
God by their example.
We appreciate the hard work that
staff and students put into producing
top academic results, but what we value
even more highly is wisdom, character,
integrity and a willingness to help and
encourage others.
This is summed up in our school
motto ‘Character, Excellence, Service for

St Thomas believe
the best preparation
for life is an
education in a caring

At St Thomas’ we believe that the best
preparation for life is an education which
fosters excellence in a caring, diverse
environment. Our staff are committed
to guiding our students through a broad
range of spiritual, learning, culture,
sporting and service opportunities
in order to develop young men with
“educated hearts and educated minds”.
We are a state integrated Catholic
school for a maximum of 615 students
from Years 7 to 13. Our size enables us to
provide individual attention and develop
close relationships with our students in
order for them to develop a healthy selfimage,
relaxed but confident personal
skills, and a positive outlook on life.
We are a high performing academic
boys’ school and as such, maintain a clear
focus on boys’ needs and the pathway
from boyhood to manhood. We will
provide your son with adventure, testing
of courage and strong, good male role
models.
We want the young men who graduate
from our College to be men of justice and
compassion, who believe they have much
to offer the world in order for it to be a
better place.
Steve Hart, Principal
St Thomas of Canterbury College
Giving boys the
opportunity to be great
St Bede’s is a Catholic College for boys
founded by the Society of Mary in 1911
and it is also the only Catholic boarding
school for boys in the South Island.
Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles
and values form the basis of a holistic
education at the College. We aim not
to make the College great but to ensure
every boy has the opportunity to be great,
and we endeavour to develop young men
of Catholic hearts and minds through the
experiences the boys have in their time
here at the College.
St Bede’s is a College for all…a place
where gospel values are practised to
help form principled men; a learning
environment where everyone achieves;
a place that teachers want to come
to because of the strength of the
community; a place also, where boys can
embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural and
community activities, which all combined
shape boys into men. That’s the priority
and that is in our DNA.
We welcome parents and boys to the
College’s Open Day on Wednesday 8 May
between 9.00am – noon, where you will
have the opportunity to tour the College
and meet staff and students.
Parents are also invited to attend the
Information Evening, commencing at

- Preparing

“Our aim is simple... to
provide the best education
possible for every student”
Giving students the
opportunity to study from
an innovative and broad
curriculum is critical to
providing each student a
pathway that meets their
individual needs. We allow
for a greater range and
flexibility in subject choice
including the utilization
of the secondary/tertiary
interface. This reinforces the
philosophy underpinning
personalised learning and
is strongly supported by
understanding our students’
interests, passions, talents,
and ultimately their career
aspirations.
We understand that for effective
learning to take place, it has to be
implemented in such a way that students
will be highly engaged. The school
does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by
creating learning environments that allow
our students to see value in what they do
and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what
we represent and we demonstrate this by
having young adults leave our school as
confident learners who have gained the
appropriate qualifications and social skills
to become valued contributing members
of society.
All that we do here is reinforced by
positive relationships, an ethos of caring,
WESTERN NEWS
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and
high expectations – what we call “Our
Full service Model”. The school highly
values the connectedness of curricular
and co-curricular learning. We have a

critical to their individual success.
The school has worked hard to
consolidate recent initiatives to ensure

FOCUS ON HEALTH
1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.
Scientists at Rush University Medical
Center found those most deficient
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest
brain mass and the lowest scores on
tests measuring short-term memory,
concentration and brain performance.
Another study showed that older people
with higher levels of B12 in their blood
have bigger, healthier brains and score
higher on cognitive tests than those with
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark
study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain
shrinkage and declining cognitive function.
B12 is essential for energy production, cell
health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,
nerve health and repair, and prevention
of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular
risk factor that is known to cause damage
and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard
researchers found
a 34% decrease
risk of vision
loss in a study
of participants
aged 40+ who
supplemented with
B12. Another study
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,
difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. Supplementation of
methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain shrinkage & support memory &
brain function. B12 is also known to protect against homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk
factor that can also damage the hearing, eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy,
cell health & nerve function.
B12 SUPPORtS:
• Memory & Brain Performance
• Helps protect against brain
shrinkage
• Energy & Recovery
• Nerve Function
• Vegetarian’s Diet
• Helps protect blood vessels from
damage
• Sleep & mood regulation
• Cellular Health & Repair
• Good Health
• Cardiovascular Health
• Eye sight - Study showed a 34%
decrease risk of vision loss in
those supplemented with B12
• Hearing loss - Study linked a higher
risk of hearing loss in subjects in
their 60s who were low in B12
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb
it declining with age as the digestive
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux
medication and other drugs further reduce
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and
thru bypassing the digestive tract have
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in
the body.

The tree of LIFE
New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times,
new research has shown that neurons
can grow back with the right conditions
and that a special extract of Gingko
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has
been clinically found to assist in this.
The implications for stroke recovery are
obvious, but researchers also know many
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”
that over a period of time slowly
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN
is prescribed worldwide as a natural
supportive agent for a healthy brain and
cognitive function. It supports healthy
mental performance, concentration, focus,
alertness, motor function and to help
with many conditions including tinnitus
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves
micro-circulation and helps the blood
flow reach those critical places it needs to
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes
the red blood cells more pliable and
capillary walls more flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented
multi-step extraction process. Each small
tablet contains a highly concentrated
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a

Reverse the signs of aging

Summer has come to a close, your skin, especially your

will have shrivelled after being exposed to the drying, aging
outdoor elements.
Now there is a machine that is sweeping the globe and has
landed in Christchurch. Experience the eleven beauty and
healing treatments accomplished within one facial mask
using LED technology.
LED was invented by NASA as they were looking for a light
source to grow plants in space, from this they found that it
had amazing skin cell rejuvenation and it wasn’t long before
LED infrared was used in hospitals around the world.
Doctors then noticed patients started looking younger
whilst under a program of RED LED light treatments after
their surgery and injuries, which led them to study colour.
It was found that skin cells recognise colour and that each
colour has a job to play in the performance of the living
skin cell.

experience with the LED light therapy with documented
results in:
• Anti-Ageing – Wrinkles, Age spots, Scaring

Looking after each other

This Autumn the WEA is offering a
range of courses with the emphasis on
self and social care. We recognise that
having opportunities to listen deeply to
one another, and to come together around
a shared activity or experience are vital
parts of building a safe and connected
community. It is also true that to look after
others we must first look after ourselves. It
can be as simple as building time into our
busy lives for things that feed us: perhaps an
artistic or musical pursuit, learning a new
language, or practicing meditation. With
a range of over 40 courses from Middle
Eastern Dance to Understanding the Treaty
in 2019, Foraging to Rethinking Mental
Health and a welcoming and enthusiastic
community of learners, there is lots to gain
from a course at the WEA and we would

Tyres, rims and even
great coffee
Word of mouth is the best
recommendation for any business, and there
is a raft of customers happy to recommend
JCM Direct Tyres in Middleton. The
independent, family-owned and operated
business supplies tyres, mags and rims and
it is clear from their feedback that they
provide ‘outstanding customer service,’
‘really know what they are doing,’ and even
provide ‘tasty coffee.’
Reviews like these are hard-won, with
the emphasis being on making sure they
go the extra mile to really meet the needs
of the client. As an independent dealer,
they are not tied to a specific brand.
Instead, they will look at your vehicle,
your budget and your driving style to
provide you with what you need instead
of what the franchise wants you to have.
This can be brand new tyres such as Pirelli,
Continental, GT Radial and Nankang, or
high end, almost-new second hand tyres
in mint condition, often the same brand
names as the new options. The JCM team
wants to know their customers are leaving
them with their vehicles, from caravans to
utes, that are safe on the roads.
They will give you their honest opinion
and expertise about what you need too.
It could be more cost effective in the long
run to spend a little more a quality tyre and
reduce the risk of punctures on the Garden
City’s rebuild roads, and if you do have a
puncture, they can repair it quickly and
efficiently.
It is not only tyres – they supply rims
from the 1930s to the present day. If you
are lucky enough to own a classic vehicle,
you will know how difficult it can be to
find authentic parts, and the JCM team will
help you source what you need.
They also provide alloy wheels, spare
wheels plus wheel and tyre combo packages
to make their excellent products even more
affordable. They are even able to help you
with finance options.
Open six days a week, you can find
them at 8c Birmingham Drive on the
corner with Hands Road. Check them
out on Facebook.com/JCMDirect, or
visit JCMDirect.co.nz to see what their
family can do to help your family.

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.

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 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 Fe ry 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
be l oming.
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
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
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
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy

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

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the
