THE LOCAL body elections in October
are shaping up as the most fascinating for
years.
Lianne Dalziel is still a lone contender
for mayor, and no one is signalling yet they
will stand against her. But the battle for
council seats is under way.
Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board member Lee
Sampson is in the fight for the Cashmere Ward.
He faces two term councillor Tim Scandrett, and others may
also join the battle.
Sampson is running under The People’s Choice banner, a left
leaning political group which appears to be making a stronger
bid for power this election than they did three years ago.
They are fielding candidates in wards where there are leftthinking
incumbent councillors.
It’s going to be an interesting battle.

Flooding costs holiday park
Owners ask
for help to
fix problem
• By Matt Slaughter
HEAVY RAIN has forced the
South Brighton Holiday Park to
close four times in the past two
years.
Park manager Sam Hawkins
estimates closing due to
flooding has cost the park more
than $8000. It had to close over
Queen’s Birthday weekend.
He said the park needs help to
deal with the flooding.
Mr Hawkins addressed the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board last week, where he
outlined his concerns over
the impact heavy rainfall has
had on the park, including
the downpour over Queen’s
Birthday weekend.
The board has requested
urgent advice on how flooding
can be dealt with and has asked
for site meetings to take place
between holiday park staff,
city council staff and board
members.
Mr Hawkins said the drainage
system at the holiday park has to
be improved, as it has not coped
with the heavy rain.
“If it gets too bad we have to
shut the park due to sites being
unusable,” he said.
“It affects most of our camp
because we’re quite low-lying.
There are puddles pretty much
through most of the camp, the
roadways, everything like that,
so then it affects the grass with
oversaturation and people drive
on it, which creates mud and
headache after headache.”
The flooding over Queen’s
Birthday meant the park had to
turn away guests, Mr Hawkins
said.
“It’s affecting the income
revenue, but also affecting

able to deal with the problem on
its own.
Mr Hawkins said he wants the
city council to provide a larger
water pump to clear stormwater
lines, and the area’s water
storage and drainage systems
need to be improved.
Mr Hawkins hopes a meeting
to discuss these options with
city council staff will take place
before the holiday park floods
again.
“Hopefully, before the
next rainfall, there’s some
action with at least a decentsized
pump or something
like that to help alleviate the
problem.”

MOOSE’S MISADVENTURE
Meet Mr Moose, a 7 week
old White Swiss Shepherd
who our vet Kirsty saw
on Saturday for anorexia,
straining to defecate and
vomiting for the past 24
hours. Moose had Giardia
as a wee puppy and
was treated whilst at the
breeders. On examination
Moose was alert and
interactive but extremely
painful on palpation of
the abdomen, hunching
and crying when touched.
Kirsty didn’t feel he was
constipated. He was very lean and dehydrated.
Being so young, Kirsty was concerned at
his level of pain so he was admitted for
Intravenous fluids, pain medications and xrays
to determine the cause of his pain.
Plain radiographs didn’t show much initially
so we went straight into contrast studies,
administering barium orally. The xrays looked
pretty and we had a hunch he either had an
intestinal foreign body, an intussusception
or severe gastroenteritis. The pain relief we
had administered
hadn’t really settled
him at all. His blood
testing revealed
an anemia and
an inflammatory
response.
After close
consultation
with the owners,
Kirsty felt it the
right option to
anaesthetise
Moose and have
a look inside to see what was going on. She
didn’t feel he was improving and that it
wouldn’t be right to wait another 24 hours.
On surgical examination, Moose
was diagnosed with a jejunojejunal
intussusception – this is where an inflamed
section of bowel has slipped inside another
segment of bowel (prolapse), effectively
obstructing and restricting the movement of
ingesta through.
This can happen
in any part of the
gastrointestinal
tract. It is more
common in
younger animals
and often occurs
in association with
a worm burden,
recent diarrhoea,
a foreign object
in the gut, intense
gastrointestinal
contractions or
recent bowel
surgery. Moose did
have Giardia as a
young puppy and
was treated for this.

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz
Gastrointestinal intussusceptions are
serious with severe complications if not
corrected surgically. These can be electrolyte
imbalances, severe dehydration, death
(necrosis) of bowel tissue due to constriction
of the blood supply and severe toxaemia.
Clinically these dogs present with bloody
diarrhoea, straining to pass faeces, weight loss,
occasional vomiting and loss of appetite.
Luckily for “Moose” our vet Kirsty was onto it
late on a Saturday afternoon. Waiting another
24 hours for surgery
could have been
too late for Moose.
Kirsty easily reduced
the prolapsed
bowel and
checked the entire
gastrointestinal
tract for any other
abnormalities.
The bowel looked
essentially healthy.
Kirsty biopsied a
piece of bowel
tissue just in case there is an underlying cause
as it why this occurred. We are still awaiting
these results.
Moose has recovered very well from his big
ordeal. He needed to spend a few nights at
our After Hours clinic for around the clock
monitoring, basically due to him undergoing
major surgery at only 13 weeks of age. He was
discharged on pain medication, antibiotics
and gut protectants. We are
awaiting bowel biopsy and
fecal testing results to see if a
cause can be attributed to the
intussusception. He’s back on
his food, maintaining his weight
and healing well. He’s simply
adorable and very huggable.
Well done Kirsty for another
great surgical success. Steve
and I are very proud of our staff,
always going the extra mile
for their patients, regardless if
these patients are seen over a
weekend or late at night.

Another blow for Linwood Village
A number of strategies
have been tried and
tested in the Linwood
Village area including
a liquor ban. But it has
been dealt yet another
blow with the closing of
SuperValue last week,
Julia Evans reports
THE SHELVES were nearly
empty and almost everything was
on special – including last year’s
Christmas paper.
Instead of beggars outside,
there was a steady stream of
people making their way in
and out of the Stanmore Rd
SuperValue to get a deal before it
closed.
Friday was the store’s last
trading day, it was shutting up for
good.
But it seemed owner Choy
Ming Lee wanted to leave quickly
and quietly, without making a
fuss.
He declined to be interviewed.
Mr Lee had previously said
drinking and begging outside
the store was putting shoppers
off – they were too intimidated to
enter.
Last year the city council
approved a permanent liquor
ban for streets around the village
bound by Fitzgerald Ave, Armagh
St, England St and Hereford St,
including Doris Lusk Reserve.
But beggars and people
drinking outside the shops are
still the main reason Steve Joseph,
who owns Hibbards Butchery on
the opposite side of Stanmore Rd
said he is also leaving.
Once his tenancy was up, the
business would be the next store
to close – he’s already purchased
another butchery to move into
and will leave Linwood when his
lease runs out mid-2020.
However, Mr Joseph said it was
not quite as bad since the alcohol
ban had come in.
“But I’ve had customers
phone in and say they would
love to shop here but they won’t
anymore,” he said.
Police drive through and don’t
stop to move people on, he said.
“Losing the supermarket is a
big blow, but it’s just the area.”
Mr Joseph was waiting to see
how losing the supermarket
would impact the area, but he
predicted it would soon be empty
of any shoppers at all.
“The street’s going to be a ghost
town,” he said.
“I can’t imagine how many
customers we are losing because
of all the drinking and smoking.”
One of his customers Lisa
Howard, who has lived in the area
for more than 20 years, said she
doesn’t go to the butchery often
any more because of the people
begging outside.
“I haven’t been down to the
butcher since people started
drinking outside . . . I love the
butcher,” she said.
The fact that the supermarket
was going would impact the
whole area, she said.
“It’s going to affect a lot of
elderly people and people who
live nearby, for a lot of people its
only a hop, skip and a jump,” Ms
Howard said.
“I don’t blame him, it’s not his
fault.”
However, she said the liquor
ban had made a different and
there were other initiatives, like
the tiny shops, a hub for smallscale
community businesses such
as bike repairs, and other work by
Te Whare Roimata, which were
helping.
“It’s hard to tell the difference
between beggars and the
homeless. If they’re genuinely
homeless, I would like to see
them get a home,” she said.
Armagh St resident Adam Calje
said SuperValue closing was a
“major loss” for the area.
“It’s angered me that the
beggars have done this. I’ve got
half a dozen neighbours I know
that won’t come down to these
shops at all,” he said.
“The whole area is dying.”
Mr Calje said the SuperValue
was convenient and cheap for
those who lived on the south
side of the Avon River, compared
to New World more than 1km

away along Stanmore Rd.
“I don’t understand why they
don’t have this problem on the
other side of the river,” he said.
“I resent the fact I’m going to
have to walk further to go to the
supermarket.”
Mr Calje has witnessed major
fights, drinking, drug use and
been approached by women
offering sexual favours in broad
daylight.
When Southern View visited,
a man placed his open can of
bourbon on top of the Kiwibank
ATM before he went and urinated
up against the fence.
It was 3pm.
Mr Calje said he would drive
around the block to go into the
supermarket through the back
door so he didn’t have to walk
past the beggars.
“But the neighbourhood has
improved in some ways,” he said.
The alcohol ban had helped,
but not enough. “Before the
earthquake, it used to be quite a
vibrant shopping area,” Mr Calje
said. Now he’s made it his mission
to bring attention to the issues
and get some action.

Fighting for Linwood
•From page 5
“I’ve spoken to police, Deon
[Swiggs] and now I’ve got an
appointment with Duncan Webb,”
he said.
“If I die trying, I’m going to
help.”
Mr Calje said there was a
distinct police presence in the
area a while ago, but it had
dropped off as time went on.
Superintendent Lane Todd
said resources had been
diverted since the March 15 terror
attack.
“We are aware of concerns and
have been in touch with local
businesses to offer reassurance.
The Neighbourhood Policing
Team will be resuming duties in
Linwood Village in the coming
weeks,” he said.
“Police strongly encourage
anyone who feels threatened
or unsafe due to anti-social
behaviour to notify police
immediately, so we can respond
as appropriate. We want the
public to be safe, and feel safe.’’
Improving the area has been
on the radar of Central Ward city
councillor Deon Swiggs since he
was elected in 2016.
“It’s a local supermarket and
a huge loss of amenity for local
residents,” he said.
“But there’s a lot of potential in
the area, just a lot of deep-seated
social issues to overcome.”
Cr Swiggs lobbied hard for the
alcohol ban – but said there was
still a lot more to be done and in
spite of the supermarket leaving,
hope was not lost.
“We do need to do more. I
think the area needs a special
regeneration. The success of the
central city is dependent on the
suburbs around it,” he said.
However, Cr Swiggs said it was
more than just drinking, there
were mental health issues.
A city council spokesperson
said about 60 per cent of the area’s
commercial buildings were lost in
the earthquake.
There were concerns over
the recent loss of the supermarket.
“Anchors play an important
role in centres, and the loss of an
anchor such as a supermarket
may impact the vibrancy of a
centre.”
However, work is ongoing in
the area’s redevelopment.
“The Linwood Village Master
Plan was developed with the
community and adopted in
August 2012 to support the
recovery of the commercial
centre.”
Work to date includes landscape

Residents have
mixed feelings for
council – surveys
WATER AND the state of
roads are the two major sources
of discontent with the city’s
residents.
The point of contact survey
and the general service
satisfaction survey are two of the
measures the city council uses
to gauge its performance and to
identify areas for
improvement.
The condition of
roads and footpaths
and the quality of
the water remain a
source of discontent
for people – 27 per
cent of people were
happy with the state
of the roads and 37
per cent with water
quality.
“The findings of these surveys
are valuable because they highlight
the areas where residents
feel we need to do better,’’ chief
executive Karleen Edwards said.
“For example, it is clear from
the point of contact survey
results that residents want better
maintenance and upkeep of our
community parks, wharves and
jetties, and cemeteries. That is
something elected members
will be able to take into account
when they meet over the next
few weeks to finalise the city
council’s budget and work
programme for the next 12
months.”
Dr Edwards said the survey
findings also show residents
don’t fully understand city
council decision-making
processes or how they can get
involved.
“That is something we need to
address,” she said.
“We need to make sure we are
communicating effectively with
all sectors of our community
and that everyone feels they can
engage with us on the issues
they care about,’’ Dr Edwards
says.
The general service
satisfaction survey shows 62
SOUTHERN VIEW
per cent of those surveyed are
generally satisfied with the
council’s performance – up from
55 per cent last year.
“One of the most pleasing
findings of the point of contact
survey is that 86 per cent of
those who were asked about
their interactions with city
council staff said they
found them to be
friendly, approachable
and helpful,” Dr
Edwards said.
“We have put a lot
of focus on improving
our customer service
and ensuring that we
put the needs of our
Karleen residents first so I’m very
Edwards pleased with this result,
although there is still
room for improvement.”
In the general service
satisfaction survey, roading
remains the most commonly
cited area for improvement,
followed by water supply.
“We know the condition of
our roads and footpaths remains
an issue and we are spending
an unprecedented amount of
money to try and improve the
situation,’’ Dr Edwards said.
“Before the earthquakes we
spent about $70 million a year,
in today’s dollars, on maintaining,
renewing and upgrading
the city’s roads and footpaths. In
this current year we are spending
$86 million.”
She said it was also investing
in the water supply.
“Unfortunately we have had to
chlorinate the water while that
work is done. As a result we have
seen satisfaction with the quality
of our water drop from 79 per
cent last year to 37 per cent,” she
said.
“By the end of May about
90 per cent of Christchurch’s
water supply is expected to
be chlorine-free and we are
working to remove the chlorine
from the remaining water
supply as quickly as possible.”

REUNITED: Bill Lochrie and seven of the original navy crew members who travelled
to Antarctica with him in 1970-71 at a four-day reunion event at the beginning of this
month. (Left to right) – Ted Haar, John Hutching, Terry Gunn, Bill Lochrie, Pat Katipa,
Ian Jacques and Keith Ingram.
MEMORIES: Bill Lochrie (back row, far right) and his crew on the forward

Navy mates relive Antarctic experiences
• By Matt Slaughter
BILL LOCHRIE set sail for
Antarctica on the HMNZS
Endeavour as a navy engineer 48
years ago at the age of 22.
Some of Mr Lochrie’s best
memories of his life were made
on this journey.
He was with the Royal New
Zealand Navy for almost nine
years.
The New Brighton RSA
president was reunited with
seven of his fellow crew members
who travelled on this 1970-1971
expedition at the beginning of
this month.
The event was organised jointly
by the New Brighton RSA and
Rangiora RSA.
About 60 ex-navy staff who
travelled to Antarctica in years
including 1957-58 and 1965 also
attended to reconnect with old
friends and remember their
journeys.
Mr Lochrie said the reunion
was special and just like old
times.
“We’re all a lot older, but we
call ourselves matelots [French
for sailors] and the matelot sense
of humour never changes. We
had a great time.
“A lot of humour and words
were generated through us
having a few tots and telling old
stories and old lies.”
Leading seaman on the 1970-
71 expedition Keith Ingram,
who lives in Auckland, said the
reunion also had a special link to
Sir Edmund Hillary.
Mr Ingram said the 1957-58
navy crew delivered the Tucker
Sno-Cat tractor to Hillary’s
Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic
Expedition partner Vivian Fuchs
to make his way from Antarctica
to the South Pole.
Fuchs arrived at the South Pole
on January 20, 1958, 16 days after
Hillary.
Mr Ingram and Mr Lochrie’s
crew picked up the sno-cat from
McMurdo Sound and brought it
back to New Zealand in 1971.
It is now on display in
Canterbury Museum’s Antarctic
section, which was visited as part
of the reunion.
Other highlights of the fourday
event included a visit to the
International Antarctic Centre
and the Air Force Museum of
New Zealand and dinner at the
Rangiora RSA Club, said Mr
Lochrie.

ARWEN VALKS says no one
should have to go through
depression and anxiety alone.
She has been through them
herself and knows how hard
things can get.
Now Mrs Valks wants to
publish Rupert’s Black Dog, a
book she has written for young
people who are facing similar
struggles, or might do in the
future
A Givealittle page she started
has already raised $1656.
Mrs Valks wants to raise $5000
at least, which would publish
about 250 books, but said the
more she raised the more people
the book would be able to help.
She said the story followed a
young boy who discovers his
anxiety and depression through
talking to a black dog and learns
how to deal with it and share
what he is feeling with others.
Mrs Valks said she felt the
message of the book would be
of value to both young people
with mental health problems and
their parents.
“There are way too many
precious, amazing, beautiful
little people who can’t see that
about themselves and who get
stuck in this cloud and think
their only way out is to call time
out on themselves and it’s just
heartbreaking and it’s completely
unnecessary.”
Part of her inspiration for
writing the book was the mental
health struggles she went
through after the birth of her
19-month-old daughter Zuri.
Mrs Valks said if her
experience with anxiety and
depression since she was a child,
which had shaped some of the

themes of the book, could help
others she would have done her
job.
“If me going through all of
this and writing this book makes
things better for half a dozen
people, then it’s worth it. “
Mrs Valks said she had sent
Rupert’s Black Dog to some
publishers, but nothing had
come of this yet.
Her decision to fundraise and
self-publish was because she
wanted to get the book out and
start helping people as soon as
possible.
The dog in the story was
named after her friend Rupert
Hill-Hayr, who illustrated the
book for free.
The Givealittle page for the
book closes at the end of this
month and Mrs Valks said every
contribution would help.

Award for
pre-school
A SMALL family-owned
pre-school has scooped a top
award from the Healthy Heart
Foundation.
Abacus Montessori Pre School
based in Woolston was recognised
with a Pᾱ-Harakeke Healthy
Heart Award last week.
The award acknowledges early
childhood services that promote
healthy food choices and encourage
physical activity in centres, at
home and the wider community.
To celebrate the achievement,
Heart Foundation New Zealand
nutritional adviser Mikaela
Battaerd presented the award to
the school.
In2Hula Hoop for Fitness
owner Bernadette Smith, who
works alongside the foundation
also shared her passion for fitness
with the school by showcasing her
hula hoop skills.
The pre-school’s owner-operator
Mel Dougherty said it is the
pre-school’s purpose to provide
an environment that recognises
the importance of all children’s
health as spending the day learning
and playing requires the right
sort of fuel.
“Good nutrition is something
we are very passionate about
and devote a lot of time to in our
centre,” she said.
Basketball court opened in style
• By Matt Slaughter
SCHOOL PUPILS, community

gathered on Wednesday to
celebrate the completion of
upgrades to Thomson Park in
New Brighton.
Rawhiti School pupils,
Canterbury Rams and
Canterbury Wildcats basketball
players were among more than
100 people who attended the
event.
The pupils took part in
basketball games and drills
run by the players on the
new International Basketball
Federation standard court at the
park.
There was a sausage sizzle and
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money
spoke.
Along with the construction
of the basketball court, the park
upgrades have involved putting
in a brand new car park, toilet
facility, bike stands, picnic area,
pathways and greenery.
Ms Money said the project
had taken about 12 weeks to
complete and it had been great
to see people finally enjoying the
park again at the event.

Lock sets sights on world

NEW BRIGHTON lock Boris
van Bruchem is preparing to
represent New Zealand at a
world championships – but not
in rugby.
Van Bruchem, 20, will travel
to South Africa following New
Brighton’s final game of the
metro rugby season as part
of the New Zealand team to
compete at the World Korfball
Championships for the first time.
The 195cm lock grew up
around korfball – a ball sport with
similarities to netball and basketball
– due to his parents being Dutch.
His parents through playing
korfball in the Netherlands, where
more than 100,000 people take part
in the sport.
“I remember watching my
parents play, then they coached a
school team we had at Richmond
School,” said van Bruchem.
Meet Ruth
He started playing rugby as an
eight-year-old for Shirley before
going on to play first XV rugby at
Shirley Boys’ High School.
“Korfball helps with my handeye
co-ordination, which helps
with catching and distributing
the ball at lineouts, but they are
quite different sports, which is
why I enjoy them because it’s
nice being able to do something
and the next day having a
different training for a different
game,” he said.
He has played for the
New Zealand under-19
korfball team at international
competitions. However, the
world championships will be his
first time playing for the New
Zealand senior side.
Last year van Bruchem was
part of the Canterbury rugby
team which competed at the
national under-19 tournament.
Since the end of last season, van
at the Te Hapua ¯ Halswell Centre Café
2-3pm Friday 14 June
Second Friday of each month
Bruchem has put on 10kg. Now
105kg, he hopes the added size
will help him progress his game
to the next level.
“Every off-season is about
putting on weight to be able to go
to the next level. It is a bit hard
because you have to eat a lot,” he
said.
Van Bruchem is used to being
the tallest player on the rugby
field.
However, when New Zealand
come up against the Netherlands
in pool play at the korfball
champs, he will be brought back
to eye level with the world’s best.
“There’s going to be a lot of
really good players there, it’s just
going to be really cool to test
myself against the best in the
world,” he said.
The World Korfball
Championships will
take place in Durban from
August 1-10.

CHAMP: Byron
Antal shows off
his South Island
Golden Gloves
most improved
trophy.
Fasting gets boxer
a bout – and a win
• By Jacob Page
WOOLSTON BOXER Byron
Antal’s success at the South
Island Gloves has been more
than 12 months in the making.
The 15-year-old, who stands
193cm and used to weigh 110kg,
has not been able to find an
opponent in more than a year.
To find someone to box,
Byron lost 17kg through
intermittent fasting, then
stepped into the ring at 93kg.
His hard work paid off – not
only did he beat Marlborough’s
Elevisi Kaloni to win the junior
male novice South Island
title but he was also named
most improved boxer at the
tournament.
“The whole thing was surreal,”
he said. “I was just sitting there
at prize-giving and I heard my
name called.”
Byron, who lives in New
Brighton and plays under-16
rugby for St Bede’s College, said
he was thrilled to find a bout
and it validated his effort at
training.
“I felt really good in there,
considering it had been a while,”
he said.
“I was happy with my jab
and my work rate in there.
Sometimes you get impatient
and frustrated just training, but
it’s a waiting game.”
He had the support of his
Woolston Boxing Club trainers,
who went on the weight-loss
journey with him.
“I have been having my first
meal at 12pm and then a dinner
between 5pm and 6pm and
nothing else besides water and
it’s worked.”
Byron started boxing in 2015
as a way to get fit during the
rugby off-season.
“I didn’t really think I would
like it, but I kept with it and
realised I really enjoyed it.
“At the start, I was training
hard but I wasn’t looking
to improve and I was quite
stubborn, but then I started to
take advice on board and get
better. The coaches say I need
to use my jab, my hook and my
right.”
Byron said he would like to
force his way into Canterbury
teams this year and then push
his claim for national honours.

St Thomas’
looking to
continue form
ST THOMAS of Canterbury
College and Burnside High
School will meet in a top of the
table schools premier first XI
football match at Christchurch
Football Centre tomorrow.
It will be a rematch of last year’s
final which saw St Thomas claim
the title 2-1.
After six rounds in this year’s
championship St Thomas have
been untouchable. They have
gone unbeaten, scoring 36 goals
and not conceding.
In their last match they hammered
Middleton Grange 8-0,
with captain Tom Stewart scoring
a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, Burnside have won
four of their five games. Their
first dropped points came in a 1-1
draw with third placed Papanui
High School at English Park last
week.
A win for either team in tomorrow
night’s match would provide
massive boost to their chances
of qualifying for the Boys Lotto
Premier Tournament secondary
school tournament in Napier later
in the year.
Kick-off between St Thomas
and Burnside is at 5.30pm.
Other fixtures – Cashmere
v Rangiora; Christ’s College v
Papanui, Middleton Grange v
CBHS, St Andrew’s v Lincoln, St
Bede’s v Riccarton.
Big year for teen baller
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE HIGH School
basketball centre Thomas
Webley is aware how big this
year is for his future hoops
dreams.
The 17-year-old, who is in
his third and final season with
the school’s premier basketball
team, wants to lead them to a
third consecutive South Island
title later this year and a top
four ranking nationally.
He is also busy applying for
scholarships to United States
colleges for next year.
“This is a big year for me,” he
said.
“My last at Cashmere and I
know that people are looking at
me to be one of our leaders.”
Thomas played a big part
in Waitaha Red’s third-place
finish at the national under-19
tournament in Dunedin over
Queen’s Birthday weekend.
He was one of five Cashmere
players to take part in the
tournament, with Finn Barclay
and Louis Oskam joining him
at Waitaha Red, and Luca
Williams and Willem Russ-
Hofman playing for Waitaha
Black, which finished 10th.
Webley was the only player
to make the tournament
teams after several strong
performances in the paint.
Waitaha have a mix of
players from Canterbury and
North Canterbury. “To make
the tournament team was a
good bit of recognition and not
something that I’ve had a lot of
so it felt good,” Thomas said.
He said with a bulk of the
starting Cashmere team in their
final year, they were determined
to stay unbeaten in Canterbury,
a streak which stretches back to
2017, while also trying to break
into the semi-finals at nationals
later in the year,
“Last year we had a top four
goal and we fell short but we
believe we’ve learnt from that

and can really push our claims
to finish higher.”
He said the team was
committed to trying to adjust to
the more physical North Island
style, with a trip to Auckland to
play games against secondary
schools likely for July.

Experienced hairdresser offers ‘the best cuts’
Conveniently located in Barrington Street, just along
from the mall, Elite Hair Cuts provides top-quality
hair-cutting services for the whole family.
Owner Louise Holdern, who has almost 35 years’
experience in the industry, says many people have
told her that the haircut she did for them is the best
they’ve ever had.
“I always listen carefully to what the client wants
and give them that, and most people are very happy
with the results. They also say they like the friendly,
down-to-earth atmosphere at the salon,” Louise says.
For hair colouring, Louise uses the top-ofthe-range
Luminart Professional Colour Cream;
however, clients are also welcome to bring in their
own colour product, which she will apply at a cost of
$20.
She also suggests that when a mother brings her
children in to Elite for their haircut, while she is
doing that, mum can have a chat to Melissa at the
adjacent beauty clinic, The Glow Room Beauty, about
booking in for a beauty treatment for herself.
To book an appointment for a cut or colour
at Elite Hair Cuts, phone 022 689 0528, or just
walk in for a hair cut any time. Opening hours
are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, with late night
Thursday till 6pm.

premises as Elite Haircuts in Barrington Street,

people from the community, getting to know them
and making them feel comfortable and relaxed while
she provides their beauty treatments.
The products she uses include Harbour Botanicals,
a natural range made in Diamond Harbour from
locally grown flowers and herbs.
Melissa has a particular focus on the senior
members of the community, providing expert
pedicures, massage therapy, and lip and chin waxing,
with a discount for Gold Card holders.
For people unable to get to The Glow Room Beauty
for any reason, Melissa offers an outcall service, so
clients can enjoy their treatment in the comfort and
privacy of their own home.

Sunrise to sunset
7A Ranui Crescent, Diamond Harbour
Price: $418,000
2/3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | Open plan living/dining/kitchen | Listing Number: 9394
Sitting as centre stage to the water, this is
a quirky, retro and totally unique property.
Sitting as centre stage to the water as you can
get, the views here out to the hills and the
head of the harbour are unbeatable.
In a well-established, private garden which
adjoins the reserve, this is a property which
begs closer inspection. It’s functional in
layout, and there is certainly opportunity
here to add value and create something quite
remarkable with the interior, which oozes
potential.
Two decent sized bedrooms and a
bathroom downstairs, and on the middle
level is open-plan living/dining and kitchen
with more phenomenal views. Ascend the
spiral staircase to the upper level where
you will find more space for potentially the
master bedroom or additional living.
The house itself is tidy but requires some
structural work to continue its longevity -
this is a project best suited to someone with
construction skills or experience. There is an
engineer’s report available.
For a private viewing of this unique
property in a stunning harbour position,
please contact Emma Dunningham of

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.”

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.”
