Denton Park
campaigner
to stand
in council
elections
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A KEY figure behind the
successful campaign to save
Denton Park has confirmed he will
be standing to represent Hornby at
the city council table.
Former Save Denton Park chairman
Mark Peters
will be running
independently
against longterm
city councillor
Jimmy
Chen in the upcoming
October
elections.
In 2016, Cr
Chen secured
Mark Peters
the Hornby seat with a 2440 majority
vote over his closest opponent
Sara Harnett-Kikstra.
But Mr Peters said he is not concerned
about running against Cr
Chen, who is currently in his third
term at the city council.
“I stand very much on my track
record – what happened around
Denton Park and my ability to pull
the community together,” he said.
Mr Peters played a key role in
leading the successful campaign to
stop the Hornby Library, Customer
Services and Recreation and Sport
Centre from going to Denton Park.

THE LOCAL body elections continue to
heat up with Mark Peters announcing he is
standing for the city council (see page 1).
Peters has his eyes set on the Hornby
Ward seat, held by long-time councillor
Jimmy Chen, who is seeking his fourth term.
Chen will be a tough nut to crack. He is a very good campaigner,
who gets out and door-knocks. Winning three elections
is no mean feat; it is testimony to his support.
But I think he might have a fight on his hands this time. There
was huge public support in Hornby for the Save Denton Park
campaign.
Peters will use that as platform for obvious reasons.
Looks like we will get a contest and that’s good for all.

Pool hours could be extended
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THOSE HOPING to catch an
early morning swim over the
summer in Halswell may have
their wish granted.
The Halswell-Hornby-

has asked the city council to
investigate a number of options
for extending
the Te Hāpua
Halswell pool’s
hours.
A seminar
on extending
the pool hours
Anne
Galloway
was held with
the board last
Tuesday.
City council
staff are still finalising options
for the pool’s opening hours.
One of the options, raised by
city councillor Anne Galloway,
suggested the pool opens
from 6am-6pm on weekdays
excluding Fridays. On Fridays
the pool would be open from
6am-9pm.
On weekends, she would like
to see the pool open from 9am-
9pm.
The hours of the summer pool,
which will re-open in November,
are currently 11.30am-7pm.

Study into crossing safety
•From page 1
NZTA senior traffic and safety
engineer David Scarlet said the
feedback has been mixed, but
school children and people operating
the crossing near the school
feel safer.
But he said there have been a
number of issues raised by residents
and road-users following a
survey carried out by NZTA.
This includes there already being
limited options to join onto
Halswell Rd and increased journey
times and distances.
Mr Scarlet said the pilot layout
will stay in place until a permanent
solution is made because
it offers an improved degree of
safety for school children.
Daily traffic counts show about
11,500 vehicles use Halswell Rd
(in the vicinity of Larsens Rd)
daily.
While no crashes have
been recorded at the
intersection in the last five
years – a minor and noninjury
crash was recorded
about 20m north of the
junction.
Halswell School principal
Stuart Cameron said
the school was “really
pleased” in how the trial
has made the crossing safer for
pupils to use.
His views were backed by
BUSY ROAD: This week the New Zealand Transport Agency will
be discussing with residents and stakeholders near Halswell
School permanent solutions for the Larsens Rd/Halswell Rd
intersection.
Halswell resident Melanie
Rushton, who created the petition,
saying there has definitely been an
“improvement.”
But she said equally
it has caused some
other issues including
vehicles performing U-
turns where Halswell Rd
meets with O’Halloran
Dve.
Ms Rushton, who has
a son at the school, said
before the trial was put
in place, the junction
was becoming more dangerous
every day.
“I have seen two or three near
Stuart Cameron
misses at that intersection with
children crossing the road on
their own. I have seen cars driving
really atrociously through that
crossing as well,” she said.
Ms Rushton recalls witnessing a
“terrifying” moment when a child
was almost hit while trying to use
the school crossing when a van
failed to stop.
City councillor Anne Galloway
said the important thing is the
safety issue is being addressed.
She said before the restrictions
were put in place, vehicles turning
right out of Larsens Rd were
turning directly into the school
crossing.
•From page 1
Out of the campaign, the
Greater Hornby Residents’
Association was formed, which
Mr Peters is a member of.
Mr Peters believes he has a
good chance at winning against
Cr Chen.
“I take my hat off

to the raising
of issues in good stead

has worked hard to get

“The October count

and if the people of

they will vote with their feet
and put in the person they
want,” Mr Peters said.
City councillor Jimmy Chen
welcomed Mr Peter’s bid.
“This is a democratic election,
and it is good the people
of Hornby have a choice,” he
said.

running under The People’s
Choice, said he has been an

Cr Chen’s goals for the next

Mr Peters said it is time
to remove politics from
Hornby and focus on
outcomes for residents.
As well as Cr Chen, the
current Hornby representatives
are Mike Mora and Natalie
Bryden – all who are aligned
with The People’s Choice.
“The ward is very much tied
down by a party line . . . local
body politics is really not the
place to be having party block,
it is more an area where people
need to have an independent
mind.”
Mr Peter’s key concerns is
the suburb’s infrastructure
has been neglected for too
long, ensuring the new
Hornby mega-facility is built
at Kyle Park and keeping rates
affordable.

Hamill offers first-hand history lesson
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MOMENTOUS: Villa Maria College student Brooke Harrison
had a history lesson to remember when she met Rob Hamill.
WHEN BROOKE Harrison first
began studying the Cambodian
genocide, she never expected she
would meet the New Zealander
whose brother was tortured and
killed by the Khmer Rouge.
It was a momentous history
lesson for the Villa Maria
College student, who had the
opportunity to Rob Hamill, a
former New Zealand international
rowing representative. His
achievements include winning a
silver at the 1994 World Rowing
Championships and a Commonwealth
Games gold.
While researching the assignment,
she came across
documentary Brother Number
One, which tells the story of Mr
Hamill’s older brother Kerry,
who was killed by the Khmer
Rouge in 1978 after accidentally
straying into Cambodian waters
on his yacht.
The genocide was carried out
by the Khmer Rouge regime
under the leadership of Pol Pot.
Between 1975 to 1979 it was estimated
1.7 to two million people
were murdered.
Wanting to find out more,
Brooke, 17, decided to email
Hamill – and to her surprise received
a reply in about one hour.
Hamill happened to be travelling
through the city on June 5
to Methven and arranged a time
to meet with Brooke.
Brooke said it was inspiring
how open and willing Hamill
was to share his story about his
brother.
“He revealed that is how he
got into rugby and eventually
rowing which he became very
successful at. I’m very grateful
that I got the opportunity to talk
to someone so closely related to
such a horrific event,” she said.
Brooke wanted to study the
genocide after her mother,
aunt and grandparents went to
Cambodia several years ago and
had came back “shocked” and
“moved” by its history.
She said what stuck with her
most from studying the project
was how severe the genocide was
and yet not something people
know a lot about.
“I couldn’t comprehend
how violent and torturous the
genocide was which is why it is
even harder to stomach that one
of our own was killed there,”
Brooke said.
She asked Hamill questions
about what it was like to testify
against Kang Kek Lew, the former
leader in the Khmer Rouge
movement, how he coped with
losing his brother and the response
his family received from
the community.
“Going into it I was actually
quite nervous to talk to him
about it because the last thing
I wanted to do was make him
feel uncomfortable . . . but as he
started talking I realised he was
really open to talking about it,”
Brooke said.
Since researching the project,
Brooke has come to the realisation
of how important learning
about history is.
“What I have learnt from
studying this project is how easy
it is for people to turn a blind
eye to something that seems so
distant from them . . . it wasn’t
until meeting with Rob I realised
how close to home the genocide
really was”.

School projects in community spotlight
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THERE IS no savvier generation
when it comes to using social
media than a generation of
millennials.
That is why instead of Riccarton
High School staff desperately
trying to maintain an online
presence, it was better for the
students to do the job instead.
Two years ago, the school
established a media and advertising
division – which is aimed at
informing, celebrating and promoting
to the community what
is happening at the school.
From the formation of the
group, one of the popular media
ideas to form is the Humans of
Riccarton.
Based on the famous photoblog
Humans of New York, the
blog of students aims to celebrate
and share thoughts, opinions
and stories of Riccarton High
School students.
Deputy principal Lisa Heald
and teacher in charge of MAD
said it was just one of the social
media platforms the students do.
The students between the years
of 11-13 run the school’s Facebook,
Snapchat and Instagram
page.
They produce articles for the
school’s newspaper, organises Ka
Pai videos to celebrate students
doing good things around the
Grace Ward: I don’t believe in holding something against
someone because what happens happens and people
should just move on. There is no point in dwelling on things
and holding it against yourself or other people so you should
move on from it because life is too short to hold grudges
against people. I think it is much better to focus on yourself
and the people around you.
Orion Chau: I really like people that give first and continue
to give without expecting anything in return. I think wanting
to help is just basic human nature, and you feel so much
happier when you help someone, when they are happy so
are you. People I look up to are the people who just don’t
care about what people think. Once you start caring you
begin to limit how far you can go, your goals are no longer
yours but the people around you. If you want something
make it happen.
school and writes a weekly report
on the school.
“They were all things we
couldn’t do as well or as fast as

weekly course – but the

meeting new people. Because when you travel you hear
many different experiences from many different people
and see the world from a different viewpoint and you get
to reflect on how you view the world yourself, it helps you
really grow as a person.
Therese Yamit: There are three things that I feel are
important in life. Family, friends and passion. Family because
they are always there to tell me what to do or not do and
they are always there for me, friends because the company
you get from them that makes you just forget about other
stuff and it’s nice to be with someone you can talk to and
impact you in a positive way, and passion because you
are just in this little space where you feel like you can be
yourself.

Bid to crack down on ‘cruising’ delayed
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
HELEN BROUGHTON’S bid
to crack down on anti-social
behaviour around Deans Ave has
been pushed back again.
The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton deputy chairwoman
withdrew her formal motion
calling for increased police
enforcement of “cruising
behaviour” on the avenue.
Mrs Broughton opted to use
the term “cruising behaviour”
after board chairman Mike
Mora raised concerns about the
term “boy racer”.
Mr Mora said the city council
has a “no cruising bylaw” in
place, not a “boy racer” bylaw.
At last week’s board meeting,
Mrs Broughton removed her
motion so it could be re-worded
to allow the board to talk to
police directly about cruising
behaviour in the area, as well as
security concerns once the police
presence around the mosque is
reduced.
In her original motion, Mrs
Broughton only asked the
board to write to police about
its concerns over cruising
behaviour.
Her amended motion will now
be brought back for the board
to discuss at its next meeting on
June 26. Mrs Broughton’s first
attempt to have her formal
motion on “cruising behaviour”
approved was made on May 28,
but the board agreed it would
stay on the table until its June 11
meeting.
However, in her updated
motion, Mrs Broughton wants
the board to talk to police
about their security plans.
She said she wants to raise the
issue because the board wasn’t
invited to a meeting between
Deans Ave residents, Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
Megan Woods, police and a
city council representative on
June 6, in which a range of
security concerns were discussed
regarding police lifting their
presence.
Said Mrs Broughton: “We
weren’t there at that meeting.
PUSHED
BACK: A
formal
motion
aiming to
crack down
on anti-social
behaviour
around
Deans Ave
will be
changed.
Therefore if the police are talking
about security issues we want
that to be part of our discussion
with them.”
Canterbury Metro Area
Commander Superintendent
Lane Todd would not discuss
their security plans.
But he did say the police
presence outside the mosque
will remain in place for the
foreseeable future.

Retired ‘musketeers’ still helping
• By Jess Gibson
A TRIO of retired friends –
dubbed “the three musketeers”
– were recognised for their
services to Ronald McDonald
House on Monday.
David Chappie, of Avonhead,
Neil Fleming (Ilam) and Gus
Gale (Belfast), all former
teachers, received an award
from Volunteering Canterbury
for their work over the past five
years.
They meet every Wednesday
morning to help with a range
of tasks at Ronald McDonald
House on Cashel St, such as
keeping the grounds tidy,
fixing toys, washing waste bins,
plumbing and electrical repairs.
Said Mr Chappie: “I was
surprised because we certainly
don’t come here to look for any
accolade, we come here because
it’s a worthwhile organisation
that we have heard about that we
could help at ground level.”
“The people here are so
accommodating and making
everyone feel so welcome. The
families are going through a
tough patch in their lives but
there’s a joy all the way from
the staff to the mums and dads
and the kids being picked up
and cuddled. There’s a quality
here I don’t think you would
find in many other institutions.
It’s a quality based on love
and concern for one’s human
beings.”
Ronald McDonald
House offers support and
accommodation to families with
children in hospital.
The three musketeers’ shared
background in education adds
up to a total of more than 120
years at primary, secondary and
university level.
VOLUNTEERS: Friends
and former teachers David
Chappie, Neil Fleming
and Gus Gale meet every
Wednesday to undertake
odd jobs at Ronald
McDonald House.
Said Mr Fleming: “In those
years we have accumulated
some useful skills that Ronald
McDonald House finds helpful.”
Mr Fleming started
volunteering to use up his excess
energy.
Mr Chappie and Mr Gale
agreed to help “on one
condition” – after each
morning’s work they go out for
lunch and a beer.
“We decided to set a pseudochallenge
by limiting our choice
of lunch place to new or recently
changed venues. We range
widely with a requirement that
the selected venue has to serve
beer and it has to be new to us,”
Mr Fleming said.
He said each lunch is spiced
with recollections from their
friendship, which has lasted at
least 10 years.
“Some (stories) stray from
the truth but have greater
entertainment value,” he said.

New gender
neutral loos
for students
• By Tatiana Gibbs
THE SOUTH Island’s largest
high school will soon have a
gender neutral bathroom.
Burnside High School is
following a nationwide trend
of being inclusive by planning
a gender neutral toilet facility,
which is due to be completed
next month for use in term three.
Principal Phil Holstein said
the move was in response to
students who wanted a gender
diverse space where they feel
comfortable. The new bathroom
will be in the school’s central
block.
“This is a big step for us in
order to acknowledge and
recognise our gender neutral
students,” Mr Holstein said.
Burnside High follows
Beckenham Primary School
and Lincoln High School,
which also have gender neutral
bathrooms.
The trend has been supported
by the Ministry of Education,
which has funded the facility at
Burnside High. The school has a
total roll of about 2500 students
and has a LGBTQ+ club, which
has been in place for four years.
Teacher in charge of the club
Karen Healey said Burnside
High has students who feel
“uncomfortable using bathrooms
that don’t match their gender
identity.”
Burnside High
Irish dancer’s
work pays off
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
EMME Stephenson (right)
dreams of one day travelling the
world with an international Irish
dancing company.
Since she was seven, the
Burnside High School student
has been in love with the unique
dance form – and when she is
not at school she spends her time
training.
The hard work is beginning
to pay off, with Emme, 13,
selected to attend the Australian
International Oireachtas Irish
Dance Competition on the Gold
Coast next month.
It will be Australia’s largest
Irish dancing event, attracting
more than 800 competitors from
all over the world and up to 600
spectators each day.
There are three rounds in each
competition – a hard shoe round;
light shoe round; and recall
round for the top dancers of the
competition.
It won’t be the first time
Emme has taken part in the
competition; she qualified to
compete last year.
While she didn’t make the
recall round last time, she was
listed as New Zealand’s top
dancer in her age group.
Although New Zealand’s Irish
dancing scene is small, Emme,
who attends the Swarbrick Irish
Dance school, aims to make a big
name for herself nationally and
internationally.
“I love doing it. I just
find it really fun to do. I like
competing and the friends that
you meet. It has pretty much
taken over my life,” she said.
She was ranked fifth in the
New Zealand National Irish
Dance Championships for
her age group last year, which
qualified her for the Australian
competition.
In 2017, Emme represented
New Zealand, along with a team
of dancers, at the World Irish
Dancing Championships in
Dublin and finished 34th.
Her next goal is to compete at
an international competition in
solo dancing.
Her mother Pip Stephenson
said Emme is determined, hardworking
and committed to going
as far as she can in Irish dancing.
She said dancing has taught
her time-management and selfdiscipline,
which has helped her
to achieve good results at school.

Your Local Views
‘Helping neighbours meet’
Delamain Residents’
Association chairman Geoff
Holland writes about how
you can get involved in the
community and the impact
work at the Yaldhurst Park
Subdivision is having on the
area
GET TO know your neighbours
– they are nice, friendly people.
Swap telephone numbers.
If you know they are away,
keep an eye on their property,
perhaps feed their pets.
Plants have been stolen from
front gardens in Delamain, so
keep watch for any suspicious
behaviour – and report it.
To help neighbours meet, we
hold successful neighbourhood
week barbecues in Delamain
Park.
A community beautification
project is also being set up to help
maintain the special features of
our area, such as the “gateways”
at Little Oaks Drive and Jarnac
Boulevard, the monoliths
under the transmission lines on
Buchanans Rd and the fringes of
the Paparua Stream.
We started by removing the
sign on Jarnac Boulevard which
had been tagged. We are also
planning an inspection in the
next few weeks to identify issues.
Keep an eye out for a notice
about this – you are very
welcome to participate.
Let us know if you are keen
by emailing delamain.residents.
association@gmail.com.
And make sure you read our
newsletter. We also send out
email notices on city council
matters that affect us, and
weather and road condition
warnings from Neighbourhood
Support. If you would like to get
these, email me and you will be
added to the list.
One issue to consider is how
work at the Yaldhurst Park and
Buchanans Rd subdivisions
CONCERNED:
The Delamain
Residents’
Association is
concerned work at
the Yaldhurst Park
Subdivision may
negatively impact
on the area.

HUNTER
may negatively affect Delamain.
It is not appropriate for trucks
involved in the work to use
Jarnac Boulevard.
The size, noise and dust are
not appropriate for a residential
street, and traffic safety could be
compromised.
If you have any issues or
concerns over this, let us know.
We also highlighted the
fire risk of the long grass over
summer and a developer mowed
much of it.
An issue with parking on
our narrow streets has been
raised too. The rubbish trucks
have difficulty getting through
Delamain.
It’s not a major issue, but
in the event of a fire, the
consequences could be serious.
Think about how you park, as
marking no stopping areas could
seriously affect the amenity of
your street.
Fendalton centre may
get more services
• By Jess Gibson
THE FENDALTON Library and
Service Centre may soon be a
one-stop shop.
The city council is considering
expanding the service centre
to offer postal services, bill
payments and Metro card
purchases.
Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
chairman Sam MacDonald
requested the upgrade as the
building is currently receiving
$1.1 million in renovations to the
interior and exterior.
“When you’re spending money
to redo the library like that, we
should do it right.”
The building is set to reopen
on July 29.
Since the closure of the
Fendalton Post Shop in 2015, the
centre has been providing basic
postal services.
“There are five schools within
close proximity to the library,
including two large secondary
schools – Burnside High School
and Christchurch Boys’ High
School. (The community board)
believe that having the option to
purchase Metro cards from the
service centre would be of great
convenience to our residents,”
he said.
“We are also conscious of the
needs of our older residents, who
often prefer to pay their bills in
person rather than online.”
CONVENIENCE: Sam
MacDonald has asked
the city council to look at
expanding the services
offered at the Fendalton
Library and Service Centre.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
A response from chief
executive Karleen Edwards said
the city council is in discussion
with NZ Post about providing
bill payment services within the
Fendalton area.
“Proximity of other NZ Post
plus centres and customer
demand are considerations that
they will investigate further,” she
said.
An update is expected by the
end of the month.
Dr Edwards said the city
council is also in discussion with
Environment Canterbury over
Metro card services to cover
gaps in coverage.
“Further work is under way
to identify high demand areas
and the development of an
appropriate rollout strategy.”

“It will showcase the latest in modern,
urban, cosmopolitan home and
landscape designs to transform your
space – inside and out.”
This zone will include an
interactive, innovative living
design area, where you can sit
and have a coffee and be
inspired by new and creative
ideas for your home, by talking to
the specialists about your dreams.

THE FIGHT to end period
poverty is under way.
The Fill-a-Bag fundraiser
for The Good Fund is being
held in 16 locations nationwide
throughout June.
Kimberli Schuitman, cofounder
of The Good Fund, is
hosting the Christchurch event
from 2-4pm on June 22 at the
Landsdowne Community Centre.
Ms Schuitman said the
fundraiser pulled together two
things that were extremely
important to her.
“Period poverty is rife in New
Zealand and by talking about
it we can break down taboos
and create an awareness around
this cycle of poverty that keeps
children from achieving their
learning milestones. It is about
ensuring menstruating people
in New Zealand have easy and
affordable access to sustainable
and more comfortable menstrual
products,” she said.
She said The Good Fund was
seeking donations of children’s
clothing that would be given to
families in need.
It was also looking for bags
recycled from online grocery
orders that would be given on
arrival to fill with baby clothes.
“The fundraiser is an

Schuitman.
Due to the success of the
first Fill-a-Bag in Hamilton in
March that raised over $3000,
Schuitman is hoping for similar
success in Christchurch.
All proceeds raised will go
towards The Good Fund that
helps New Zealand women
nationwide have a choice to
access and be educated on reusable
sanitary products. There,
women can buy sustainable
sanitary products or apply for
a Good Fund rebate to get discounted
products.
Entry is $10 and everyone is

as an information table about
reusable menstrual products.

Plenty of restrings to his bow
• By Gordon Findlater
TONY RALFE was recognised
for 51 years of involvement
at the Bishopdale Tennis
Club by receiving the Ian
Jones Memorial Award at the
Canterbury Tennis Awards.
Ralfe, who is approaching 70,
has been made a life member by
Bishopdale, Wilding Park and
Canterbury Tennis. For almost
34 years he has also owned and
operated a sports shop at Bishopdale
Mall. However, he is currently
trying to sell Bishopdale
Sports World with the idea of
taking to the road with his tennis
racket stringing machine.
“I’ll just keep a stringing
machine and trot round the
country and Wilding Park,
picking up the odd thing when
there’s a tournament on,” said
Ralfe.
“In smaller places like
Greymouth or Kaikoura
if you break a string on
Saturday morning you can’t
get it restrung, but: “I used
to play veterans and take the
machine with me. You can
restring between games quite
comfortably.”
Ralfe isn’t just accustomed
to doing restrings for talented
juniors and veteran players,
every January he travels to
Auckland for the ASB Classic
where he has serviced rackets
for the world’s best players
including Serena Williams.
SPORT
“I went this year. I may have
had my swansong. I’ve had 15
years up there and I’m getting
too old for it now. The hours are
long and it’s fairly tough work,
but I haven’t fully decided yet,”
said Ralfe.

Silver medal exceeds expectation
• By Gordon Findlater
JUST ONE team practice
the night before leaving for
Mongolia didn’t get in the way
of Ashley Strawbridge and her
New Zealand team winning
silver at the FIBA Under 18 3x3
World Cup.
The 17-year-old Rangi Ruru
Girls’ School basketballer was
part of the New Zealand team
along with Sharne Pupuke-Robati,
Tayla Dalton and Charlisse
Leger-Walker who outdid expectations
to reach the final of
the tournament in Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia, before falling to the
United States.
“I’m still riding the high, it’s
been really cool to have people
at school ask about and be able
to share the experience,” said
Strawbridge.
The team had next to no
experience playing 3x3 basketball,
but were selected on their
strengths from the five-aside
game which would translate
well to the high intensity 3x3
format.
New Zealand, seeded 15th,
went into the tournament
with little expectation in the
20-strong World Cup.
However, they finished
second in their pool with wins
over Hungary (16-9), Russia
(14-2) and Poland (21-4). Their
only pool loss came against the
United States 11-20.
“The fact we got to the quarter
ACCOMPLISHMENT: Ashley
Strawbridge has returned
from Mongolia with a silver
medal from the FIBA Under
18 3x3 World Cup
finals was amazing in itself,”
said Strawbridge.
In the quarter-finals they
SPORT
defeated Japan 14-12 in an extremely
tight match which went
to overtime. The win set up a
semi-final with No. 1 ranked
China, which New Zealand
swept aside 21-15 before going
down to the United States 13-
19 in a more than respectable
performance.
“When we first played them
we were like: ‘Oh my god we’re
playing America’,” said Strawbridge.
“In the final we knew we had
no pressure and all eyes were on
them.”
Strawbridge’s biggest contribution
to the Kiwi effort came
on the defensive end which saw
her touted as one of the best
defensive players at the tournament.
She says the biggest challenge
came against the United
States.
“They are just so quick, so it
felt really good any time you
could stay in front of them and
stop them from scoring,” she
said.
Strawbridge will now
turn her attention to
representing New Zealand
in the five-a-side game at the
Oceania Championships in
Noumea, New Caledonia, from
August 19-24.
Lawson establishes
bowling team of Saints
• By Gordon Findlater
HORSE AND Jockey owner
Gary Lawson will headline
Christchurch’s new Bowls3Five
team the Elmwood Saints.
The Saints will take on seven
other clubs from around New
Zealand over eight weeks of
competition in Auckland starting
in October. The competition will
be broadcast live on Sky Sport
three nights a week.
Last year Lawson was part of
the Sky commentary team during
the competition. However, with
the competition expanding from
six to eight teams and Sky signing
up to broadcast it for another
three, he’s now opted to put
together a team of his own.
“I went to the [Elmwood]
committee and said I’d like to put
a team together. They were right
behind it, so we put our proposal
together,” said Lawson.
Joining Lawson will be Mandy
Boyd, Jan Shirley, Steve Ditford,
Lance Pascoe and Bev Morel –
who is in her late 70s. Two further
team members will be named
before the competition begins.
“It’s great for our sport having
prime time TV three times a
week. We can’t ask for much
more, it’s what the game’s needed
for a long time,” said Lawson.
“The idea for us is to have a real
good crack at the title.”
Last year Canterbury rugby

and former bowling world
champion Gary Lawson.
icon Alex Wyllie was part of
the Woodend Jets team with
Na Katae and Jenny Anderson.
However, the team went winless
during the competition which
saw them relegated.
“The idea of the whole thing
was to show people who don’t play
bowls that it’s a game anyone can
play . . . I think this year they’re
trying to strengthen some of the
sides to make them just a little
more competitive,” said Lawson.
The name Elmwood Saints
was inspired by Elmwood Park
Bowling Club’s amalgamation
with St Albans-Merivale. Lawson
hopes the club’s members and
Christchurch people will rally
behind the team.
Lawson is currently in Australia
where he will represent the
Blackjacks at the Asia Pacific
Championships on the Gold
Coast from Tuesday to June 28.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Dilo Oil
the remarkable
skin rejuvenator
Until Rachel Hunter’s popular TV
series “TOUR OF BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was
relatively unknown being one of the bestkept
secrets of the Pacific Islands. It may
however be the number one natural beauty
oil available as it possesses powerful natural
skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing
properties.
According to ethnobotanist Chris
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low) Oil
is a powerful skin regenerator as it is one
of the most effective agents in promoting
the regeneration and formation of new
tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing
and the growth of healthy skin. Dilo Oil
is super-absorbing and nourishing and
can penetrate all three layers of the skin,
offering exceptional cell hydration and
regeneration. As well as this, Dilo Oil has
potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,
antifungal and antioxidant properties.
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep
the skin young and youthful and for just
about any skin complaint. Some of the
conditions for which it is considered
helpful include abrasions, cuts and cracks,
acne and acne scars, pimples, blemishes,
stretch marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns
(including chemical and radiation),
diabetic sores, rashes, shaving irritation,
dry or scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis,
dermatitis, herpes sores (cold-sores), insect
bites and stings, rheumatism, pain, sciatica,
shingles, sunburn, rosacea, athlete’s foot,
skin eruptions, warts, skin ulcers and sores,
nappy rash and almost any other skin
ailment and often with incredible results.
Many beauty and skincare products
on the market today contain unnatural
ingredients that can be toxic and may even
contribute to disease. Generally the benefits
are exaggerated and often only temporary
or camouflage. Marshall’s Dilo Oil is 100%
pure and certified organic. It has been coldpressed
from the Dilo nut and contains
absolutely no additives. Polynesians and
Southeast Asians have revered Dilo Oil for
centuries believing it to be a sacred gift of
nature and the Gods. Dilo Oil contains a
unique blend of fatty acids that stimulate
and supports the skins natural healing
process through the growth of new healthy
skin tissue. It is a remarkable product we
highly recommend to everyone. A 50ml
bottle is $19.90 and 100ml only $32.50.

the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s

NATURAL HEALING & BEAUTY OIL
As seen on Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty
Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin
anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred Dilo
tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil as it
can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration &
regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells
& this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help reduce
lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties.
Dilo Oil Supports
• Anti-aging & skin regeneration, helps reduce lines,
blemishes, scars & stretch marks GREAT GIFT

Inflammation
an underlying factor in just about
every chronic health condition!
Inflammation can have a major impact
on our health and quality of life. It is a
sign our body is aggressively trying to
protect and heal itself. Common signs of
inflammation can be redness, pain, heat,
swelling and stiffness. Acute inflammation
is the short term inflammation when you
bang your knee or hurt your back. Chronic
inflammation is a disease that can affect
our overall health and life expectancy.
It is conditions like arthritis, allergies,
asthma, inflammatory bowel disease,
eczema, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s and
in fact most diseases. An example of the
seriousness of chronic inflammation is that
inflammation in the arteries causes plaque
to build up in the arteries that leads to
hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis.
If this plaque continues to build it reduces
blood flow to the organs. This causes blood
pressure to increase. The next danger
especially with raised blood pressure is
some of the plaque can break off forming
a clot that can block blood flow. These clots
are responsible for the majority of heart
attacks and strokes.
Natural supplements like turmeric
(curcumin), boswellia, Artemisia, omega-3
fatty acids, cider vinegar, magnesium, msm
and vitamin-C can play an important part
in reducing inflammation and speeding the
healing process.
Curcumin is the active ingredient in
turmeric. The problem is there is only a
Inflammation affects our quality of life. It is associated with pain, swelling,
heat, redness & stiffness. Inflammation is a part of most diseases even
the aging process. These diseases include: Eczema, Asthma, Allergies,
Cardiovascular, Alzheimer’s, Cancer, IBS, Arthritis, Thyroid, Diabetes &
many more. Natural anti-inflammatories effectively reduce inflammation
at its source while also stopping the initiation of inflammation in the first
place. This leads to a faster more efficient healing process & a better
quality of life.
GOOD HEALTH TURMERIC EXTRA STRENGTH:
Provides powerful natural health & anti-inflammatory support. Excellent for
pain, swelling, stiffness & joint issues. Contains scientifically researched

small amount in the spice and you would

benefit. Scientists have thru developed
special concentrated supplements that
offer enhanced absorption. CuruWin as
used in Good Health TURMERIC EXTRA
STRENGTH is clinically proven to be
46 times more absorbable than standard
turmeric supplements. It offers powerful
health support.
Boswellia (Indian Frankincense herb) has
been used for centuries in Asian countries
for chronic inflammation and other
diseases including certain cancers. Good
Health TURMERIC EXTRA STRENGTH
contains a potent extract of Boswellia.
Good Health TURMERIC EXTRA
STRENGTH also contains Artemisia annua
or Sweet Wormwood. Artemisia has been
shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antiviral,
antioxidant, antimicrobial, joint and
cartilage support benefits. It is also being
researched for use in cancer treatments as it
has been found to promote apoptosis (cell
death) of cancer cells, without harming
healthy cells.
Omega-3 fish oil also offers powerful
anti-inflammatory benefits without the side
effects of prescription anti-inflammatory
drugs. It also offers numerous health
benefits.
Natural supplements can be highly
beneficial in supporting your good health.
At Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy
our experienced Natural Health
Advisers can help you choose
the right supplements for you
as everyone is different. We
can advise you on the best
times to take the supplements,
the right dosage and how to
obtain maximum benefits.
We specialise in helping you
optimise your health through
correct supplementation, diet
and lifestyle. Often it is the
small changes that can make a
huge difference. Better health
can be achieved naturally.

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.

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.”
