Two-year wait for water tank 

Space issues 

further delay 

$2.6m project 

PUMP: 

An artist’s

the new water 

tank at Jeffreys 

Reserve. 

• By Jess Gibson 

A CONTROVERSIAL multimillion 

dollar water tank in the 

heart of Fendalton has been hit 

with a two-year delay. 

The preliminary design 

phase for the Jeffreys Reserve 

suction tank is taking longer 

than expected due to space 

constraints at 

the site, which 

has pushed the 

completion 

date out to May 

2020. 

The 500 

cu m tank will 

replace the 

Sam 

MacDonald 

current 

200 cu m 

earthquakedamaged 

tank, which supplies 

water to the city’s north-west. 

City council head of three 

waters and waste John Moore 

said the space constraint issues 

will be remedied once the eastern 

wing of the current, un-used 

pump station is demolished. 

A larger area is needed around 

the site to provide space for the 

new tank’s construction and 

maintenance. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

chairman Sam MacDonald said 

he is “frustrated” the process has 

been dragged out. 

“We were told at the time [of 

the proposal] that it was urgent 

work that needed to be done 

and that there was effectively 

no way around it. So we worked 

really hard to mitigate residents’ 

concerns and now we are back at 

square one with delays,” he said. 

The project was initially meant 

to be completed in June last year, 

but was delayed until December 

this year after the reserve’s 

neighbours expressed concerns 

over the concept designs in the 

first round of consultation.

IT’S GOOD to see residents being recognised for their 

community efforts in Northwood (see page 7). 

Northwood New World owner Kathy Smart started Meals for 

the Local Community to reward a local hero every week with 

two vouchers for hot dinner box meals. 

Generous Redwood resident Barry Smart was chosen as the 

most recent winner after being nominated by his daughter. 

Mr Smart donated a piano to the Christchurch City Mission, 

took in a friend for three years after the February, 22, 2011, 

earthquake and collected during the recent RSA Poppy Appeal. 

Mrs Frampton said customers are encouraged to nominate 

good scouts as “a nice way of saying thank you.”

News 

Kmart will be welcomed in Papanui 


PAPANUI RESIDENTS have 

given the thumbs up to the 

relocation of a Kmart store from 

Shirley to Langdons Rd. 

A 4500 sq m store is set to 

open in the Northlink shopping 

precinct in early 2020. 

It will mean the subsequent 

end of a 23-year tenancy within 

The Palms Shopping Centre since 

the store first opened in 1996. 

News about the move sparked 

positive 

feedback from 

residents in 

the north-west 

area about 

employment 

opportunities, 

less travel 

Simon Britten 

distance to a 

Kmart store 

and a large amount of off-street 

parking near the new site. 

Meanwhile, the response has 

not been so positive in the east. 

A petition was started by Shirley 

resident Josiah MacKay to open 

an entirely new store at Papanui 

instead of relocating so that the 

existing Shirley store could remain. 

“With enough support, I believe 

that we could have a chance 

in convincing Kmart Australia 

to look over their decision in 

relocating our Kmart store,” Mr 

MacKay said. 

A post about the relocation 

DEVELOPMENT: Construction is under way on Langdons Rd 

where a new Kmart will open. PHOTO: THINK PAPANUI 

on the Think Papanui Facebook 

page generated more than 3500 

comments in 12 hours. 

There was some positive 

feedback from the public on 

the shift, but many expressed 

their concerns about the effect 

it would have on The Palms and 

the lack of access to a Kmart 

store for people in the east. 

Simon Britten runs the Think 

Papanui page and will be a candidate 

for the Papanui Ward in 

the 2019 local body election. 

“I have a bit of a concern that the 

new site is a long way from public 

transport. It’s about 500m from the 

nearest Orbiter bus stop on Harewood 

Rd,” Mr Britten said. 

“It’s definitely going to add a 

lot more vehicle movement in the 

area. Langdons Rd is busy with 

school students as pedestrians as 

well as the elderly,” he said. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board member Emma Norrish 

said she will be asking staff to 

look at the impacts that the 

development will have on traffic 

in the Langdons Rd area at the 

next board meeting. 

Mr Britten said he first heard 

rumours about the relocation 

late last year. He said when he 

sent an inquiry to the business 

at the time, he received a “noncommittal” 

answer about plans 

to relocate. 

Mr Britten made a second inquiry 

in February and received 

a message saying they had “no 

plans” to open in Papanui but 

later discovered a media release 

on the Kmart Australia website 

which confirmed the proposal. 

“If I was to speculate, [the denial] 

possibly happened because 

of the impacts it would have on 

the Shirley side as opposed to 

not wanting to tell people about 

something new in Papanui,” Mr 

Britten said. 

Kmart New Zealand country 

manager Jason Picard said the 

decision was part of a vision 

to grow the store network in 

Christchurch. 

“We are doing this by ensuring 

our stores are in the best 

locations to service our customers 

now and well into the future. 

It’s important we support the 

communities we operate in and 

we hope customers will enjoy 

the benefits of our new store in 

Papanui,” Mr Picard said. 

AMP Capital, which owns 

The Palms, was asked what impact 

the closure of Kmart is expected 

to have on trade within 

the shopping centre, but did not 

comment on this specifically. 

Instead, a spokesperson said: 

“AMP Capital has a long-standing 

partnership with Kmart 

across its portfolio and would 

like to thank Kmart for its support 

of the centre since the store 

opened.’’

Dentistry is a common daily surgical 

procedure carried out at our Practice. We are 

all trained in dentistry and are lucky enough 

to have dental radiography which in the case 

of Mabel, it proved invaluable in diagnosing 

her tooth troubles. Due to most pets poor 

dental hygiene ( daily tooth brushing isn’t 

a priority for most people), your pet will 

at least once in their life need a thorough 

dental exam, scale and polish and possible 

extractions under a general anaesthetic. 

Checking a pets teeth and gums is a regular 

part of a physical exam. 

Pet owners often won’t 

pick up early dental 

disease, only noticing 

their pet is suffering if it 

refuses food, salivates 

profusely or has a very 

smelly breath. Many 

pets will exhibit no 

clinical symptoms. 

Poor dental hygiene 

leads to other serious 

metabolic diseases like 

kidney and liver disease, endocarditis, urinary 

tract infections and gastrointestinal disease to 

name a few. 

In older pets, periodontal disease is common. 

Here you get infection and inflammation 

around the periodontal ligament and tooth 

root due to toxins released from the bacteria 

in tartar. Early on gingivitis ( inflammation 

around the gingiva) is reversible with 

thorough scaling and polishing, then a regular 

home care dental programme involving tooth 

brushing, various gels to apply to the gums, 

prescription dental diets, and occasional large 

raw bones that cant be demolished ( canon 

bones). If left undiagnosed, gingivitis quickly 

evolves into periodontitis and you get loss of 

bone around the root and a loose diseased 

tooth that requires extraction. 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

DENTISTRY 

In young animals that present with 

dental pain, a fractured or chipped tooth 

exposing the pulp cavity, or diseased root is 

commonplace. These dental problems are 

seen in cats due to their fighting and hunting 

pastimes. We see these issues in dogs due to 

their obsessive chewing and destroying of 

bones, hard objects and toys. 

Mabel, a 71/2 year old Shih Tzu presented as 

her very attentive owner suspected a tooth 

issue. Mabel had stopped eating suddenly, 

wouldn’t pick up and play with her toys and 

occasionally cried out in pain and had become 

quiet and clingy. 

On initial examination 

her teeth and gums 

looked very good, 

apart from some 

mild tartar and 

gingivitis. I couldn’t 

identify any fractured 

or loose teeth, no 

lumps, bruising or 

lesions were seen in 

the oral cavity, and 

there appeared to be 

nothing stuck. On gently opening Mabels 

mouth open she cried. The rest of her clinical 

examination was unremarkable. 

It was decided to anaesthetise Mabel and 

thoroughly examine and probe her teeth 

to establish her acute pain. It was only after 

performing dental radiography that we were 

we able to identify the problem tooth - an 

upper molar with an abscessed root that 

couldn’t be seen from the oral cavity exam. 

This tooth was extracted and Mabel recovered 

quickly and uneventfully. 

Make sure your vet thoroughly inspects your 

pets mouth on a routine checkup. It can save 

lots of discomfort and money spent, if dental 

disease is identified early on. A healthy mouth 

leads to a happy life!

Fendalton water tank 

still two years away 

from being finished 

•From page 1 

The 2017 consultation 

document showed only one 

option for the new water 

tank, which was near the 

existing station. 

Concerns over security, 

the tank’s visual impact, 

use of the existing site, 

consideration of 

other locations 

and the tank’s 

height prompted 

the city council 

to change the 

design. 

The second 

round of 

consultation last 

year included a 

detailed multicriteria 

analysis 

of more than eight sites, as 

well as the city council’s 

preferred option, which 

was the same site as the 

damaged tank. 

Affected residents made 

two presentations in 

opposition to the preferred 

David 

Cartwright 

option at a board meeting 

before the decision was 

made in August. 

They did not want the 

tank put at the existing 

site due to the reduction in 

open space and the visual 

impacts. 

But the community 

board selected the 

preferred option as 

it alleviated many 

of the impacts 

raised in the first 

consultation round. 

Community 

board member 

David Cartwright 

said it is hard to 

please everyone 

when consulting 

on infrastructure 

which is needed in the 

community. 

“No matter what you’re 

constructing on, there 

will always be varying 

opinions,” he said.

It would then be shown 

to the community board 

and an information session 

would be held with affected 

residents. Work to raise a 

well-head to remove the 

current chlorination is 

due to start this month 

before construction of the 

tank begins in either July 

or August. The tank will 

take eight to 10 months to 

complete. 

Out of the $2.6 million 

budget, almost $380,000 in 

ratepayers’ money has been 

spent on process costs since 

the project began in 2017. 

This includes consultation, 

options, a detailed soil 

investigation, concept 

plans and the preliminary 

design.

THE community board lineup 

looks set to remain largely 

unchanged in the Fendalton, 

Waimairi and Harewood wards 

next term. 

Major local body group 

Independent Citizens has 

announced an experienced 

list of Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

candidates in the lead-up to the 

elections on October 12. 

However, one new candidate 

is set to campaign under 

the group’s banner. Jason 

Middlemiss, a chartered 

accountant, will run for the 

board in Harewood. 

Mr Middlemiss is part of the 

Old Boys Collegians Cricket 

committee, which worked to 

establish Hagley Oval. 

He would contest the spot 

vacated by Aaron Campbell, 

who said he will be running 

for Environment Canterbury’s 

West-Ōpuna seat. Mr Campbell 

had to withdraw his bid for the 

community board as he can’t 

stand for both. 

Fendalton Ward city 

councillor James Gough, 

community board deputy 

chairman David Cartwright, as 

well as board members Bridget 

Williams, Shirish Paranjape 

and Linda Chen, will all seek 

Jason Middlemiss 

James Gough 

re-election. 

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald will contest the 

Waimairi Ward city council 

seat after incumbent 

councillor Raf Manji announced 

he will not stand. 

Independent Citizens will 

not put a city council candidate 

forward for Harewood.

IT IS your chance to have a say 

on upgrades to the contentious 

Breens, Harewood and Gardiners 

Rds intersection. 

The city council has proposed 

two options to address and 

improve safety at the intersection. 

Option one, which is the city 

council’s preferred option, is to 

make both Gardiners and Breens 

Rds a left-turn in and left-turn 

out only by closing the median on 

Harewood Rd. 

This would mean vehicles 

travelling from Gardiners Rd to 

Breens Rd would need to use the 

U-turn bays already provided on 

Harewood Rd. 

This option also proposes 

the installation of a pedestrian 

crossing, which would only stop 

vehicles when it is in use. 

A bus-only right-turn bay will 

remain on Harewood Rd to allow 

buses to turn into Gardiners Rd. 

Option two is to install traffic 

lights at the intersection.

has been campaigning to have

New street 

named 

after old lake 


A NEW street in a Burnside 

subdivision has been named with 

history in mind. 

Lake Bryndwr Lane was chosen 

by the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board for 

the street in the subdivision at 196 

Roydvale Ave. 

The Fendalton Quarry was 

established by the Ashby brothers 

in the early 1900s and was made 

up of three large pits. 

A natural spring near Roydvale 

Ave eventually filled the main pit 

with water once it had become 

unused and became known as 

Bryndwr Lake. 

At places, the lake was 6m deep 

and was a place where locals went 

swimming. 

In 1965, the land was brought 

by the Roman Catholic Diocese 

who filled the pit in 1968 as members 

planned to build a church 

there. 

The church was never built and 

this area of Burnside remained a 

wasteland for many years. 

The community board considered 

two alternative street names, 

Boag Lane and Cors lane, which 

both had historical relevance to 

Burnside. 

Nearly 50,000 books recycled at Bookarama 


HUGE CROWDS cleared out 

almost 50,000 recycled books at 

the 14th annual Bookarama in 

Bishopdale. 

The Rotary Club of Bishopdale 

Burnside’s three-day book sale 

event had its biggest turnout to 

date, with the YMCA Recreation 

Centre reaching its maximum 

capacity of 400 on the first day. 

Project leader Lindsay Crossen 

said it was the first time the club 

had to close the doors to clear 

numbers since the event started 

in 2005. 

While he would not disclose 

the exact figure, Mr Crossen said 

the money raised between April 

26 and 28 is “slightly up” on the 

$60,000 raised at last year’s 

event. 

“Books are alive and well, 

that’s all I can say,” said Mr 

Crossen. 

The money will be used to 

support the community in a 

number of projects over the next 

12 months. 

The club contributes to schools 

and youth programmes as well 

as organisations such as 

Canterbury Charity Hospital 

Trust and Odyssey House, 

among others. 

More than three-and-a-half 

shipping containers of books, 

DVDs, records and jigsaws were 

donated to the club over a fourweek 

collection period. 

Mr Crossen said the collection 

usually lasts for five weeks but 

the club had to cut it off because 

there were “too many books for a 

three-day sale.” 

About 35 people from the club 

were involved in organising the 

Bookarama in the month leading 

up to the event. 

The event was relocated to the 

Local 


Now 

CROWDED: People of all ages turned out to the Bookarama event at the Bishopdale YMCA Recreation Centre. 



Bishopdale YMCA Recreation 

Centre last year as the Burnside 

High School hall, where it was 

normally held, was undergoing 

earthquake repairs. 

At the time it was unclear 

whether the event would 

continue to be held at the new 

venue, but Mr Crossen said it 

likely be will as club members 

and customers prefer it over the 

old one. 

“Our customers think it’s a 

good venue. They’ve got the 

convenience of a big car park and 

we’ve got a lot more space in the 

hall,” he said.

Free meals for good Samaritan 


REDWOOD’S Barry Smart has 

been rewarded for his generosity 

with a couple of nights off 

cooking. 

‘Meals for the Local 

Community’ is a giveaway run 

by Northwood New World, 

which selects one resident every 

week to receive two free hot meal 

vouchers from a list of public 

nominations. 

Mr Smart, 79, who received the 

vouchers from Northwood New 

World chef Daniel Sekulla, was 

nominated by his daughter. 

Mr Smart donated an electric 

piano to the Christchurch City 

Mission when one was needed 

for an event. 

He also took in a family friend 

for three years in 2011 after their 

house was severely damaged in 

the earthquakes. 

He also put his hand up to 

collect donations for the RSA 

Poppy Appeal. 

Northwood New World owner 

Kathy Frampton started the 

giveaway in December after she 

thought about the heroes in the 

community who rush around all 

day, leaving little time to make 

their own dinner. 

The winners are drawn every 

Tuesday and have a month to 

collect their vouchers from Mr 

Sekulla. Mr Smart said he felt 

“very optimistic” about his win. 

“It’s nice. It’s something that 

I’ll enjoy because I do my own 

cooking and a couple of hot 

meals will save me a job,” he said. 

Mrs Frampton decided on the 

meals as the prize because they 

are a “wholesome alternative to 

takeaways.” 

“A hero doesn’t have to be 

a highly visible person doing 

everything. A hero can just be a 

mum who’s got lots of kids and 

still goes to school to help out, or 

a neighbour who drives someone

to the supermarket every week 

to help them get their shopping,” 

said Mrs Frampton. 

“It’s a nice way of saying 

thank you. All these little things 

make a difference to what your 

community is, how it gets on and 

how healthy it is.”

New bus 

stops for 

Orbiter 


A CHANGE in the route of the 

Orbiter has led to new bus stops 

on Greers Rd and Waimairi Rd. 

Two bus stops will be installed 

on either side of Greers Rd 

outside numbers 36 and 79, 

near Westburn Tce. A pair 

will be installed on either 

side of Waimairi Rd outside 

numbers 222 and 239-241, near 

Wentworth St. 

Another two will be installed 

on Waimairi Rd, near Dovedale 

Ave outside numbers 128-130 

and across the road at 135-139. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

community boards 

met last week to discuss and 

approve the location of three 

sets of bus stops for the new 

route. 

The Orbiter change was made 

in January due to the closure 

of Homestead Lane to buses 

meaning the former route via 

Homestead Lane, Ilam Rd and 

Memorial Ave could no longer 

be operated.

Charitable status 

granted to 

coffin club 


A BISHOPDALE coffin club 

which donates caskets to 

mothers who have lost their 

babies has been granted charitable 

status. 

Since Donna Sutherland 

launched the Kiwi Coffin Club 

at the Menzshed site on Kendal 

Ave in 2017, she has been relying 

on money earned from selling 

adult-sized custom-made caskets 

to fund ‘angel boxes.’ 

Angel boxes are custom-made 

caskets for babies lost to cot death, 

stillbirth or miscarriage which are 

then delivered to Christchurch 

Women’s Hospital. 

Now, with charitable status, the 

club can apply for grants from 

major funders such as the New 

Zealand Lotteries Commission 

and the Lions Foundation. 

It also means that if people wish 

to make a donation to the club, it 

will be tax-free. 

Ms Sutherland has been 

working with a pro bono 

lawyer to get the registration 

approved since she applied in 

November. 

She said she is “ecstatic” that 

the club can apply for funding, 

as it will now have back-up 

money to cover the costs of the 

caskets. 

A PHOTO with Prime Minister 

Jacinda Ardern is not the only 

thing Alyssa Robinson took away 

from the Top Scholar Awards 

Ceremony. 

The 18-year-old former Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School student 

was also presented with the 

Top Subject Scholarship award 

for printmaking at the Prime 

Minister’s function at Parliament 

on Wednesday. 

Alyssa is now studying fine arts 

at Canterbury University and 

said the award came out of the 

blue. 

“It honestly came as a 

complete shock, I even had to 

phone a friend to make sure it 

was actually me. While I was 

loss for words at first as it was 

overwhelming but extremely 

exciting at the same time, I still 

slept well that night with all the 

excitement burnt off throughout 

that day,” Alyssa said. 

The New Zealand Scholarship 

is awarded to the top 3 per cent 

of students in each different 

subject. 

Alyssa’s printmaking was based 

on concepts of destruction 

and repair following the 

earthquakes. 

Last year, Rangi Ruru 

student Charlotte Bowman, 

was also awarded top scholar 

in printmaking, and Rangi

scholarships. 

Said leader of visual arts at 

Rangi Ruru Kate Rivers: “Our 

students are supported to think 

deeply and independently and

make their own decisions. We 

believe this philosophy has 

contributed to our students 

gaining four top scholar awards 

in visual arts in recent years.” 

More than 9300 students 

entered for the New Zealand 

scholarship exams last year 

across 35 subjects. 

Of those who sat New Zealand 

Scholarship, 2415 students were 

awarded one or more 

scholarships. 

NZQA deputy chief executive, 

Kristine Kilkelly said the New 

Zealand Scholarship is regarded 

as the most prestigious secondary 

school award in the country. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

principal Sandra Hastie said 

there is a diverse student body 

at Rangi, and each student is 

supported to achieve the very 

best she can, both in academic 

and non-academic areas. 

“The scholarship examinations 

test high-level critical thinking 

in addition to specific subject 

knowledge, and it is important 

to recognise and reward this 

combination of attributes,” Dr 

Hastie said. 

“We are proud at Rangi to offer 

such a wide range of options for 

our girls whether it be science, 

technology, or design and music, 

and a plethora of sporting codes 

– to name just a few.”

Regular use of Finnishstyle 

saunas can reduce 

blood pressure and the 

chance of stroke too. 

Virtually maintenance free, a quick 

sweep out and wipe down every 

few weeks is sufficient. An annual 

oiling of the outer timber is also 

recommended. Electricity costs are 

also minimal. Business owner Mark 

Smith, who uses his several times a 

week for over a year, says it costs 

him $2 a session. 

Backyard Sanctuary 

Thanks to Canterbury Saunas, you can turn your garden 

into a sanctuary of relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation. 

Finnish barrel saunas are statement 

pieces that provide the ultimate 

place in which to unwind and relax. 

Fortunately, you don’t have to go to 

Finland for the pleasure. 

Canterbury Saunas brings authentic 

Finnish barrels to Christchurch, 

where a passionate family company 

handcrafts these from Thermowood – 

Nordic spruce heat-treated at 205°C. 

The timber is free of resin, durable, 

not prone to warping and 25 per cent 

more thermally efficient compared to 

cedar. Canterbury Saunas uses 45mmthick 

timber to ensure longevity. 

Canterbury Saunas also exclusively 

offers the Huum heater range, from 

4.5kw to 18kw. The standard model 

holds 55kg of stones, which produces 

fabulous steam and, with an upgrade 

option, the heater can be controlled 

with a smart phone. Alternatively, 

the traditional woodburning heater is 

perfect for remote locations. 

Regular use of Finnish-style saunas 

can reduce blood pressure and the 

chance of stroke too. It also benefits 

skin condition and eases breathing 

problems, and soft tissue aches and 

pains. 

To see one of these sanctuary’s up 

close, view the Canterbury Saunas 

demonstration model at Oderings 

Garden Centre, 20 West Coast 

Road, Yaldhurst.

The highs and lows of Firestone factory 

Murray Williams of the 

Papanui Heritage Group 

highlights the history of 

the Firestone Factory in 

the second of a series of 

articles 

LAST MONTH we reviewed 

the genesis of the plant in 

Langdons Rd. We now turn to its 

subsequent history. 

When completed, the original 

size of the plant was about 7000 

sq m and the production capacity 

was 546 tyres and 400 tubes 

per day. 

In 1950 the company showed 

its optimism by adding another 

3000 sq m to the size of this 

facility. 

In 1962 the company celebrated 

the production of three 

million tyres since the factory 

opened in 1948, while its daily 

rate was now up to 1000 tyres. 

By 1971, Firestone employed 

230 workers involved in the 

manufacturing process as well 

as 46 in administrative roles and 

a further 90 salaried staff. The 

firm also supported a number of 

travelling salesmen and an ancillary 

business retailing tyres and 

repairing punctures. 

Firestone developed an integrated 

marketing campaign to 

establish its brand to the people

national economy. However, at 

this time it was becoming more 

difficult for the company to 

maintain profitability. 

Relations between management 

and union were not always 

harmonious but a greater problem 

was the Government decision 

to open up the economy by 

phasing out tariff protection for 

locally manufactured goods. 

By 1988, Firestone had sold the 

business to the Japanese-owned 

Bridgestone which maintained 

production until 2009. 

Fujitsu’s Catechin Filters are 

approved by the Asthma and 

Respiratory Foundation NZ’s 

Sensitive Choice ® programme. 

In the last few years, the 

physical evidence of the oncethriving 

plant has been removed 

and replaced with retail and 

office buildings although the 

Bridgestone name remains in the 

reserve built on land donated by 

the company.

In your 

neighbourhood 

Imagine getting tattooed at 

the friendliest place on earth 

The brightly-coloured façade of The 

Jolly Octopus makes it hard to miss at 

272 Greers Road, Bryndwr. The quirky 

name suggests a different, friendlier 

approach to tattooing. As clients step 

into the cool reception area, they enter a 

welcoming tattoo and piercing parlour 

where everyone is very much part of the 

extended family. Help yourself to the lolly 

jar or a cookie, have a chocolate milk and 

browse the art on display while you decide 

how you want your own personal work of 

art to look. 

Eight talented artists, some of the 

best and most creative in Christchurch, 

guarantee you’ll work with someone who 

understands exactly what you want, and 

whose style matches the image you are 

looking for. From delicate and feminine 

designs through bold and colourful to 

incredibly detailed, black and white work, 

the choice is all yours. 

While many tattoo shops can feel 

intimidating, especially for a first-timer 

The Jolly Octopus is not at all daunting. 

One client said that they had “never 

walked into such a welcoming tattoo 

parlour.” That means a lot when you are 

having something as special and personal 

as a tattoo. You want to feel that you are 

in the hands of artists who are not only 

talented but who really care about you. 

They make the whole experience feel calm 

and relaxing, from the moment you park 

right outside, to when you leave with your 

own fabulous tattoo or piercing. Every 

step of the way is all about you – another 

client points out that ‘they make you laugh 

and feel at ease. “The shop is scrupulously 

clean, spacious and your privacy will be 

respected right through the experience.. 

The Jolly Octopus is somewhere 

people go back to again and again. They 

appreciate the quality, the hygiene, the 

great atmosphere and the service. Bring 

them your dreams and they’ll bring them 

to life.

Football squad learn valuable 

lessons on tour of Spain 

CHRISTCHURCH United 

under-16 players are still buzzing 

after returning home from their 

17-day football tour of Spain. 

The 14 and 15-year-olds 

from the Christchurch United 

Football Academy spent the 

past two weeks as guests 

of the famous Valencia FC 

Academy, which is renowned for 

producing some of the greatest 

players in Spain. 

After watching Valencia 

in action in the Primera 

division and Europa League, 

the youngsters had a priceless 

footballing experience when 

they watched Barcelona FC 

claim the Spanish title at the 

famous Nou Camp stadium. 

“It was an unbelievable 

night,” said Christchurch 

United Academy director Colin 

Williamson. 

“The Nou Camp stadium was 

pumping and the Barcelona 

fans were all still in the stands 

celebrating two hours after the 

match. The boys won’t forget 

that night as long as they live.” 

The Barcelona match was a 

fitting end to a whirlwind tour 

built around daily trainings 

under the guidance of Valencia 

Academy coaching staff. The 

Valencia Academy has produced 

superstars like Manchester City’s 

David Silva and Real Madrid 

striker Isco. 

In the last few training 

sessions, the Christchurch 

United players were joined 

by the familiar face of United 

product Eric Sugahara, who is

EXPERIENCE: The Christchurch United squad were awarded 

certificates from Valencia coaching director 

SPORT 

trainings and our final practice 

match against one of the local 

teams. He did really well, in 

spite of being a bit younger 

than the other players,” said 

Williamson. 

Between the heavy training 

schedule, the Christchurch 

United squad played four 

matches against local club teams 

and learned many valuable 

lessons. 

“The Valencia coaches found 

some good opposition for our 

boys and, even though we were 

often just as fast or skilful as the 

Spanish players, they showed us 

we need to be a lot smarter,” said 

Williamson. 

“In most matches, we got 

caught out by quick counterattacks 

or punished by them 

scoring from free kicks. They 

knew when to commit a small 

foul to slow us down on attack 

or draw a foul in a dangerous 

position,” said Williamson. 

“It confirmed why we 

are working on developing 

intelligent players at 

Christchurch United. These 

matches showed our players 

that wonderful skills alone can 

get you so far, but that you have 

to be smart to become a great 

player.” 

Williamson was proud of 

his players, and said they 

made great strides and showed 

tremendous courage in a narrow 

3-4 defeat against Vilmarxant 

CF in the final match, in spite 

of conceding two early goals 

and losing two key players to 

injuries. “When the Valencia 

Academy director handed them 

all their certificates on Friday, he 

said they really earned it.” 

IN FORM: 

Charlotte 

Spurway 

recently 

finished second 

in the under-17 

girls race at 

the age group 

national road 

championships 

in Timaru. 

Students named in 

NZ cycling team 

A NUMBER of students from the 

north-west are set to represent 

New Zealand on the cycle track in 

October. 

Charlotte Spurway (Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School), Jenna 

Borthwick (St Margaret’s College) 

Erin Downie (Burnside High 

School), Michiel van Heyningen 

(Christchurch Boys’ High 

School), Ryan MacLeod (Papanui 

High School) and Sebastian Lipp 

(Catholic Cathedral College) 

have been selected in Cycling 

New Zealand’s 20-strong team to 

contest the under-19 categories 

at the Oceania track cycling 

championships in Invercargill. 

The team will be joined by 

the national elite team to take 

on the best from Australia 

and the Pacific in the four-day 

competition at the SIT Zero Fees 

Velodrome from October 16-19. 

The team comprises the best 


of the first-year New Zealand 

under-19 riders along with the 

country’s leading second-year 

under-17 riders. 

For Downie the selection comes 

on the back of representing New 

Zealand at the Oceania track 

championships in Adelaide last 

October. 

She is a former Canterbury 

age-group middle distance 

runner, cross-country athlete and 

footballer, but now her time is 

spent solely on the bike seat. 

The recent Vantage age group 

track national championships 

also highlighted the rising talent 

in the under-17 age-group. 

In the endurance events 

Borthwick won six national 

under-17 titles. Meanwhile, 

Spurway recently finished 

second in the under-17 girls race 

at the age group national road 

championships in Timaru.

Research supports 

eye health 

Are you Magnesium 

deficient? 

Nutritional researchers have 

discovered a range of nutrients 

that are essential for eye 

health. Some of the most 

essential nutrients that 

have been shown to 

protect and even improve 

eye function are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral 

that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in 

many of our foods. Researchers believe 

selenium may help prevent cataracts, 

macular degeneration (the leading cause 

of impaired vision in older people) and 

may also improve dry eyes and general eye 

health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage 

of the population are low in. Zinc has been 

shown to help protect the eyes from the 

damaging effects of light as well as slow 

vision loss due to macular degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have 

potent antioxidant ability and help protect 

the eyes from damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing 

nutrients that have been shown in 

landmark research to not only provide 

potent eye protection but may even help 

reverse some of the signs of age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent 

antioxidants may help protect the lens 

and retina from damage and reduce the 

risk of cataracts. They also may 

help improve blood supply 

to the eye, strengthen the 

small capillaries of 

the eye and may help 

improve night vision, 

may alleviate many eye 

ailments including eye fatigue 

that may be caused by reading, driving and 

computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye 

pressure and reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential 

for correct eye function. It may also have a 

detoxifying affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, 

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. 

It provides many nutrients, is rich in 

oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that 

are potent antioxidants that may protect 

eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic 

amount help provide comprehensive eye 

protection, may slow and possibly even 

help reverse eye damage that could lead 

to loss of vision. All these nutrients are 

available in an economical one a day easy 

to swallow capsule. 

Further information is available in 

store at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always 

happy to help! 

Minerals are the building blocks of 

good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others 

like magnesium are need in much larger 

amounts and on a regular basis to prevent 

deficiency and maintain optimum health. 

A large number of us do not obtain 

sufficient magnesium from our diet 

and may notice some of the common 

signs of deficiency. Some of the more 

common symptoms that may be caused by 

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle 

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, 

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, 

raised and/or unstable blood pressure, 

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, 

shortness of breath, swallowing problems, 

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, 

irritability, seizures, poor concentration 

and many more. 

Although many young people now 

show signs of magnesium deficiency 

symptoms generally worsen as we age 

due to our digestive system being less 

efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement 

of sufficient strength may be a sensible 

option to top up our vital magnesium 

levels. Not all magnesium supplements 

however are well absorbed by everyone. 

Luckily GO- HEALTHY’S marine sourced 

magnesium offers excellent absorption due 

to its natural co-factors that include many 

trace nutrients that are low in the diet but 

essential for good health.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of 

dampness in 

your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather 

on its way, home owners are focusing on 

ways to make their homes comfortable, 

warm and healthy for their families 

throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue 

that affects many of our older properties 

which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests 

have shown that up to 40 litres of water 

can rise from the ground and enter a 

house every day, leading to mildew, mould, 

condensation and musty smells. Moulds 

can produce various allergic reactions 

and the frail, elderly and very young are 

especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The 

team understands the problems caused 

by rising damp and are there to help. 

They will come to your damp home 

and pump a lightweight, flowable foam 

concrete under your timber floored home. 

Specially adapted for our New Zealand 

conditions and applications it provides a 

layer of protection against rising moisture. 

An unexpected benefit that the team at 

Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed 

recently, is that many owners of properties 

which had underfloor foam concrete 

installed, reported that it also provided 

protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd now for your free, no obligation 

quote and complimentary appraisal of 

your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 

03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more 

information. 

Does your range 

hood suck? 

Whether it plain sucks, or whether it 

doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy 

sucker - Smooth-Air can help. 

Smooth-Air can either improve your 

current range hood, or custom build to 

your specifications. 

“We can take your attractive but noisy, 

underperforming range hood and retrofit 

it with one of our whisper quiet remote 

extraction fans.” says Richard Jack, 

Regional Manager of Smooth-Air, “We 

have fans which can sit in the ceiling space, 

or outside on your wall or roof to make it 

extra quiet.” 

In-house testing showed a difference of 

20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan 

from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood 

fan range hood. This corresponds to a 

quadrupling in perceived noise level. 

Range hood conversions include removal 

of existing fan and rewiring for new remote 

fan. Your local sparky can easily carry out 

installation of the new fan. 

For kitchens not suited to a standard 

range hood, Smooth-Air can manufacture 

and powdercoat a bespoke range hood to 

match your décor. Custom built range 

hoods have the benefit of being designed 

specifically for your house. 

As well as being whisper quiet, Smooth- 

Air’s remote fans are powerful - sucking 

out cooking smells and moisture so they 

don’t circulate around your home. 

Moisture in your home can cause mould 

and mildew on your walls and furnishings. 

It is also bad for the health of the occupants. 

Household cooking is a major source of 

internal moisture, therefore an effective 

kitchen extraction system can make a 

significant difference to internal moisture 

levels. 

Smooth-Air can also help with other 

forms of ventilation, such as bathroom 

extraction, condensation reduction or 

whole house ventilation. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH 

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help 

you with your kitchen extraction, as well 

as any other ventilation requirements.

125 Main Road, Governors Bay 

Price: Negotiation over $499,000 

3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 2 car garage | Listing Number: 8983 

This 1980’s Governor’s Bay charmer, set on 

a 1000m2 section occupies a prime position 

right in the heart of the bay with stunning 

harbour and hill views. This is a serious 

opportunity for the astute buyer to snap up 

something wonderful. Opportunities like 

this at this price level don’t come along often 

in the bay, a family sized house with lovely 

history and ample options to add value 

whenever suits whilst still being completely 

practical for everyday living now. 

Last on the market in 1948, this was home 

to one of our much loved local identities. 

This comfortable family home offers 3 

bedrooms, wood-burner and heat-pump, 

large open-plan living to wrap-around 

verandah, a quirky retro bathroom and a 

functional kitchen with views to the heads 

and a big section to landscape as you see 

fit. Plus there is easy, sealed access to a 

detached double garage, carport and ample 

outbuildings including a woodshed. Title for 

the property still to issue. 

Governors Bay has a wonderful primary 

school, great high school zoning and is only 

15 minutes to the city and Lyttelton.
