campaigner 

to stand 

in council 

elections 


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 


THOSE HOPING to catch an 

early morning swim over the 

summer in Halswell may have 

their wish granted. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

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.

SOCKBURN SCHOOL SITE 

The untidy state of the old 

Sockburn School site was 

raised at the Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board at 

its meeting on Tuesday. Board 

member Natalie Bryden will 

write to Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Minister Megan 

Woods in a bid to get the old 

school building demolished. Ms 

Bryden said if nothing is achieved 

she will write to the Ministry 

of Education. Western News 

reported last week the MOE has 

no plans to demolish the building. 

SPRING WATER 

Free spring water direct from 

an aquifer is now available at 

Burnside Park. People can fill 

clean containers with up to 

20-litres of water, which is not 

treated with chlorine and is tested 

regularly to make sure it meets 

New Zealand Drinking Water 

Standards. The water is drawn 

from a depth of 200m. 

BUILDING DEMOLITION 

The demolition of the former 

Sockburn Vehicle Testing New 

Zealand building has started. 

The work begun last week and is 

expected to take six weeks. The 

building, between Main South 

and Blenheim Rds, has been a 

target for vandalism after it closed 

in 2012 due to quake damage.

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 Jimmy, he has responded 

to the raising 

of issues in good stead 

to get things done he 

has worked hard to get 

things done. 

“The October count 

will be what counts 

and if the people of 

Hornby want a change from 

Jimmy’s representation then 

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. 

Cr Chen, who will be 

running under The People’s 

Choice, said he has been an 

effective city councillor and 

wants to make sure Hornby is 

well-represented.

Cr Chen’s goals for the next

“The ward is very much tied

Hamill offers first-hand history lesson 


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”.

Community 

group gets 

new patrol car 

THE HORNBY Community 

Patrol has acquired a new patrol 

car to mark its 25 th anniversary 

of operations in the western 

suburbs. 

Patrol chairman Ken Chamberlain 

said the patrol is celebrating 

25 years of helping make 

the city safer along with the 

Christchurch South Community 

Patrol, City to Sumner Community 

Watch and the North City 

Community Patrol. 

All were set up in 1994 to help 

police keep communities safer. 

“We wanted to do something 

to advance our effectiveness to 

mark the occasion and we decided 

to fundraise and buy a newer 

car,” Mr Chamberlain said. 

Its “elderly patrol” car has been 

used for more than 15 years and 

needs replacing, he said. 

“Our patrol has a responsibility 

to keep our patrollers safe and 

the new car is much better at doing 

that. Our new Suzuki Vitara 

has more safety features than 

all our previous patrol cars put 

together,” Mr Chamberlain said.

School projects in community spotlight 


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 

the students so we thought why 

don’t we get the students to do 

it,” Ms Heald said. 

She said the work is a threehour 

weekly course – but the

Muskaan Lal (left): What I enjoy in life is travelling and 

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.

many schools are trying to block 

it and stop it and we thought let’s

positive and powerful way and 

teach our school community that 

is what it is about,” she said.

Bid to crack down on ‘cruising’ delayed

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.

Young graduate 

may have 

set record 


A 23-YEAR-OLD Commerce 

graduate may be the youngest 

woman to have earned her 

doctorate in Canterbury 

University’s almost 150-year 

history. 

According to accessible data, 

since 1959 only 25 students have 

been recorded as graduating 

with a PhD aged 23, and Natasha 

Mazey of Avonhead is the only 

female in this cohort. 

Born in 1995, Dr Mazey graduated 

at age 23 with a Commerce 

PhD in accounting information 

systems. 

“It was a roller coaster ride, 

and certainly wasn’t intentional. 

I have always been curious to 

learn and enjoyed study that 

challenged me. I got lost in it 

while at UC and I took the opportunities 

that came. My curiosity 

kept driving me to do and learn 

more.’’ 

Her academic supervisor, 

Stephen Wingreen, describes Dr 

Mazey as the ideal student. 

“She’s the kind of student every 

supervisor wants. Natasha was 

the model PhD student. She 

was an amazing student – super 

motivated, super intelligent and 

she made all the right decisions,” 

Dr Wingreen said.

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 


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. 


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.”

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

important event in bringing 

Christchurch communities 

together to share baby clothes, 

catch up with friends and raise 

awareness of period poverty 

in our community,” said Ms 

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 

welcome from parents, guardians 

to grandparents, Ms Schuitman 

said. There will be a lot of 

other fun stuff happening as well 

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 


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 


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 

WESTERN NEWS 

NEW CHALLENGE: Publican

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.

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 

• Skin hydration 

• Skin repair & growth, helps feed the skin & stimulate healthy new cells 

• Wound healing & skin protection from bacteria, viruses & fungus

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.

Get rid of 

dampness in

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

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.”
