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

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

Pool hours could be extended<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THOSE HOPING to catch an<br />
early morning swim over the<br />
summer in Halswell may have<br />
their wish granted.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
has asked the city council to<br />
investigate a number of options<br />
for extending<br />
the Te Hāpua<br />
Halswell pool’s<br />
hours.<br />
A seminar<br />
on extending<br />
the pool hours<br />
Anne<br />
Galloway<br />
was held with<br />
the board last<br />
Tuesday.<br />
City council<br />
staff are still finalising options<br />
for the pool’s opening hours.<br />
One of the options, raised by<br />
city councillor Anne Galloway,<br />
suggested the pool opens<br />
from 6am-6pm on weekdays<br />
excluding Fridays. On Fridays<br />
the pool would be open from<br />
6am-9pm.<br />
On weekends, she would like<br />
to see the pool open from 9am-<br />
9pm.<br />
The hours of the summer pool,<br />
which will re-open in November,<br />
are currently 11.30am-7pm.<br />

hours to reflect the need in<br />
the community. Halswell is<br />
a rapidly growing area and a<br />
facility that should be available<br />
to as many people who wants to<br />
use it,” Cr Galloway said.<br />
The board is considering<br />
granting $35,000 towards the<br />
trial. It has asked city council to<br />
report back on the costings of<br />
extending the pool hours.<br />

want the trial to impact the<br />
rates and to get extra funding<br />
it would need to investigate<br />
applying for other funds.<br />
She said the other issue raised<br />
was the availability of lifeguards<br />
for the extended hours.<br />
“Most of the lifeguards<br />
that work at the pool are<br />
university students and they<br />
get work over the holidays . . .<br />
how do we fill those positions<br />

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

Hornby’s roading,<br />

Mr Peters said it is time<br />

Hornby and focus on<br />
outcomes for residents.<br />
As well as Cr Chen, the<br />
current Hornby representatives<br />
are Mike Mora and Natalie<br />

“The ward is very much tied<br />

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

THE HORNBY Community<br />
Patrol has acquired a new patrol<br />
car to mark its 25 th anniversary<br />
of operations in the western<br />
suburbs.<br />
Patrol chairman Ken Chamberlain<br />
said the patrol is celebrating<br />
25 years of helping make<br />
the city safer along with the<br />
Christchurch South Community<br />
Patrol, City to Sumner Community<br />
Watch and the North City<br />
Community Patrol.<br />
All were set up in 1994 to help<br />
police keep communities safer.<br />
“We wanted to do something<br />
to advance our effectiveness to<br />
mark the occasion and we decided<br />
to fundraise and buy a newer<br />
car,” Mr Chamberlain said.<br />
Its “elderly patrol” car has been<br />
used for more than 15 years and<br />
needs replacing, he said.<br />
“Our patrol has a responsibility<br />
to keep our patrollers safe and<br />
the new car is much better at doing<br />
that. Our new Suzuki Vitara<br />
has more safety features than<br />
all our previous patrol cars put<br />
together,” Mr Chamberlain said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
School projects in community spotlight<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THERE IS no savvier generation<br />
when it comes to using social<br />
media than a generation of<br />
millennials.<br />
That is why instead of Riccarton<br />
High School staff desperately<br />
trying to maintain an online<br />
presence, it was better for the<br />
students to do the job instead.<br />
Two years ago, the school<br />
established a media and advertising<br />
division – which is aimed at<br />
informing, celebrating and promoting<br />
to the community what<br />
is happening at the school.<br />
From the formation of the<br />
group, one of the popular media<br />
ideas to form is the Humans of<br />
Riccarton.<br />
Based on the famous photoblog<br />
Humans of New York, the<br />
blog of students aims to celebrate<br />
and share thoughts, opinions<br />
and stories of Riccarton High<br />
School students.<br />
Deputy principal Lisa Heald<br />
and teacher in charge of MAD<br />
said it was just one of the social<br />
media platforms the students do.<br />
The students between the years<br />
of 11-13 run the school’s Facebook,<br />
Snapchat and Instagram<br />
page.<br />
They produce articles for the<br />
school’s newspaper, organises Ka<br />
Pai videos to celebrate students<br />
doing good things around the<br />
Grace Ward: I don’t believe in holding something against<br />
someone because what happens happens and people<br />
should just move on. There is no point in dwelling on things<br />
and holding it against yourself or other people so you should<br />
move on from it because life is too short to hold grudges<br />
against people. I think it is much better to focus on yourself<br />
and the people around you.<br />
Orion Chau: I really like people that give first and continue<br />
to give without expecting anything in return. I think wanting<br />
to help is just basic human nature, and you feel so much<br />
happier when you help someone, when they are happy so<br />
are you. People I look up to are the people who just don’t<br />
care about what people think. Once you start caring you<br />
begin to limit how far you can go, your goals are no longer<br />
yours but the people around you. If you want something<br />
make it happen. <br />
school and writes a weekly report<br />
on the school.<br />
“They were all things we<br />
couldn’t do as well or as fast as<br />
the students so we thought why<br />
don’t we get the students to do<br />
it,” Ms Heald said.<br />
She said the work is a threehour<br />
weekly course – but the<br />
students would put in anywhere<br />
Muskaan Lal (left): What I enjoy in life is travelling and<br />
meeting new people. Because when you travel you hear<br />
many different experiences from many different people<br />
and see the world from a different viewpoint and you get<br />
to reflect on how you view the world yourself, it helps you<br />
really grow as a person.<br />
Therese Yamit: There are three things that I feel are<br />
important in life. Family, friends and passion. Family because<br />
they are always there to tell me what to do or not do and<br />
they are always there for me, friends because the company<br />
you get from them that makes you just forget about other<br />
stuff and it’s nice to be with someone you can talk to and<br />
impact you in a positive way, and passion because you<br />
are just in this little space where you feel like you can be<br />
yourself.<br />
between five to 12 hours in spite<br />
of there being no NCEA credits<br />
available.<br />
“Social media is their world. So<br />
many schools are trying to block<br />
it and stop it and we thought let’s<br />
go with it. Let’s use it in a really<br />
positive and powerful way and<br />
teach our school community that<br />
is what it is about,” she said.<br />

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

Young graduate<br />
may have<br />
set record<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
A 23-YEAR-OLD Commerce<br />
graduate may be the youngest<br />
woman to have earned her<br />
doctorate in Canterbury<br />
University’s almost 150-year<br />
history.<br />
According to accessible data,<br />
since 1959 only 25 students have<br />
been recorded as graduating<br />
with a PhD aged 23, and Natasha<br />
Mazey of Avonhead is the only<br />
female in this cohort.<br />
Born in 1995, Dr Mazey graduated<br />
at age 23 with a Commerce<br />
PhD in accounting information<br />
systems.<br />
“It was a roller coaster ride,<br />
and certainly wasn’t intentional.<br />
I have always been curious to<br />
learn and enjoyed study that<br />
challenged me. I got lost in it<br />
while at UC and I took the opportunities<br />
that came. My curiosity<br />
kept driving me to do and learn<br />
more.’’<br />
Her academic supervisor,<br />
Stephen Wingreen, describes Dr<br />
Mazey as the ideal student.<br />
“She’s the kind of student every<br />
supervisor wants. Natasha was<br />
the model PhD student. She<br />
was an amazing student – super<br />
motivated, super intelligent and<br />
she made all the right decisions,”<br />

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

New gender<br />
neutral loos<br />
for students<br />
• By Tatiana Gibbs<br />
THE SOUTH Island’s largest<br />
high school will soon have a<br />
gender neutral bathroom.<br />
Burnside High School is<br />
following a nationwide trend<br />
of being inclusive by planning<br />
a gender neutral toilet facility,<br />
which is due to be completed<br />
next month for use in term three.<br />
Principal Phil Holstein said<br />
the move was in response to<br />
students who wanted a gender<br />
diverse space where they feel<br />
comfortable. The new bathroom<br />
will be in the school’s central<br />
block.<br />
“This is a big step for us in<br />
order to acknowledge and<br />
recognise our gender neutral<br />
students,” Mr Holstein said.<br />
Burnside High follows<br />
Beckenham Primary School<br />
and Lincoln High School,<br />
which also have gender neutral<br />
bathrooms.<br />
The trend has been supported<br />
by the Ministry of Education,<br />
which has funded the facility at<br />
Burnside High. The school has a<br />
total roll of about 2500 students<br />
and has a LGBTQ+ club, which<br />
has been in place for four years.<br />
Teacher in charge of the club<br />
Karen Healey said Burnside<br />
High has students who feel<br />
“uncomfortable using bathrooms<br />
that don’t match their gender<br />
identity.”<br />

Irish dancer’s<br />
work pays off<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
EMME Stephenson (right)<br />
dreams of one day travelling the<br />
world with an international Irish<br />
dancing company.<br />
Since she was seven, the<br />
Burnside High School student<br />
has been in love with the unique<br />
dance form – and when she is<br />
not at school she spends her time<br />
training.<br />
The hard work is beginning<br />
to pay off, with Emme, 13,<br />
selected to attend the Australian<br />
International Oireachtas Irish<br />
Dance Competition on the Gold<br />
Coast next month.<br />
It will be Australia’s largest<br />
Irish dancing event, attracting<br />
more than 800 competitors from<br />
all over the world and up to 600<br />
spectators each day.<br />
There are three rounds in each<br />
competition – a hard shoe round;<br />
light shoe round; and recall<br />
round for the top dancers of the<br />
competition.<br />
It won’t be the first time<br />
Emme has taken part in the<br />
competition; she qualified to<br />
compete last year.<br />
While she didn’t make the<br />
recall round last time, she was<br />
listed as New Zealand’s top<br />
dancer in her age group.<br />
Although New Zealand’s Irish<br />
dancing scene is small, Emme,<br />
who attends the Swarbrick Irish<br />
Dance school, aims to make a big<br />
name for herself nationally and<br />
internationally.<br />
“I love doing it. I just<br />
find it really fun to do. I like<br />
competing and the friends that<br />
you meet. It has pretty much<br />
taken over my life,” she said.<br />
She was ranked fifth in the<br />
New Zealand National Irish<br />
Dance Championships for<br />
her age group last year, which<br />
qualified her for the Australian<br />
competition.<br />
In 2017, Emme represented<br />
New Zealand, along with a team<br />
of dancers, at the World Irish<br />
Dancing Championships in<br />
Dublin and finished 34th.<br />
Her next goal is to compete at<br />
an international competition in<br />
solo dancing.<br />
Her mother Pip Stephenson<br />
said Emme is determined, hardworking<br />
and committed to going<br />
as far as she can in Irish dancing.<br />
She said dancing has taught<br />
her time-management and selfdiscipline,<br />
which has helped her<br />
to achieve good results at school.<br />

A community beautification<br />
project is also being set up to help<br />

at Little Oaks Drive and Jarnac<br />
Boulevard, the monoliths<br />
under the transmission lines on<br />
Buchanans Rd and the fringes of<br />
the Paparua Stream.<br />
We started by removing the<br />
sign on Jarnac Boulevard which<br />
had been tagged. We are also<br />
planning an inspection in the<br />
next few weeks to identify issues.<br />
Keep an eye out for a notice<br />
about this – you are very<br />
welcome to participate.<br />
Let us know if you are keen<br />
by emailing delamain.residents.<br />
association@gmail.com.<br />
And make sure you read our<br />

email notices on city council<br />

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

A response from chief<br />
executive Karleen Edwards said<br />
the city council is in discussion<br />
with NZ Post about providing<br />
bill payment services within the<br />
Fendalton area.<br />
“Proximity of other NZ Post<br />
plus centres and customer<br />
demand are considerations that<br />
they will investigate further,” she<br />
said.<br />
An update is expected by the<br />
end of the month.<br />
Dr Edwards said the city<br />
council is also in discussion with<br />
Environment Canterbury over<br />
Metro card services to cover<br />
gaps in coverage.<br />
“Further work is under way<br />
to identify high demand areas<br />
and the development of an<br />
appropriate rollout strategy.”<br />

New zones to inspire<br />
AS THE WAY we live changes,<br />
so too does The Star Home and<br />
Living Show – it is keeping up<br />
to date with latest design and<br />
technology.<br />
Events manager Lisa Lynch says<br />
she is excited about two<br />
new zones which have been<br />
created for this year’s event that<br />
will inspire and hopefully get<br />
people motivated about the way<br />
they live.<br />
“The Innovative Living Zone<br />
switches thinking – not just<br />
planning your space, but planning<br />
how you wish to feel in your<br />
space,” she says.<br />
“It will showcase the latest in modern,<br />
urban, cosmopolitan home and<br />
landscape designs to transform your<br />
space – inside and out.”<br />
This zone will include an<br />
interactive, innovative living<br />
design area, where you can sit<br />
and have a coffee and be<br />
inspired by new and creative<br />
ideas for your home, by talking to<br />
the specialists about your dreams.<br />
The Eco Zone will showcase<br />

of one lucky attendee driving<br />

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

important event in bringing<br />
Christchurch communities<br />
together to share baby clothes,<br />
catch up with friends and raise<br />
awareness of period poverty<br />
in our community,” said Ms<br />
Schuitman.<br />
Due to the success of the<br />
first Fill-a-Bag in Hamilton in<br />
March that raised over $3000,<br />
Schuitman is hoping for similar<br />
success in Christchurch.<br />
All proceeds raised will go<br />
towards The Good Fund that<br />
helps New Zealand women<br />
nationwide have a choice to<br />
access and be educated on reusable<br />
sanitary products. There,<br />
women can buy sustainable<br />
sanitary products or apply for<br />
a Good Fund rebate to get discounted<br />
products.<br />
Entry is $10 and everyone is<br />
welcome from parents, guardians<br />
to grandparents, Ms Schuitman<br />
said. There will be a lot of<br />
other fun stuff happening as well<br />
as an information table about<br />
reusable menstrual products.<br />
Donations of childrens<br />
clothing ages 0-5 years can be<br />

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

Silver medal exceeds expectation<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
JUST ONE team practice<br />
the night before leaving for<br />
Mongolia didn’t get in the way<br />
of Ashley Strawbridge and her<br />
New Zealand team winning<br />
silver at the FIBA Under <strong>18</strong> 3x3<br />
World Cup.<br />
The 17-year-old Rangi Ruru<br />
Girls’ School basketballer was<br />
part of the New Zealand team<br />
along with Sharne Pupuke-Robati,<br />
Tayla Dalton and Charlisse<br />
Leger-Walker who outdid expectations<br />
to reach the final of<br />
the tournament in Ulaanbaatar,<br />
Mongolia, before falling to the<br />
United States.<br />
“I’m still riding the high, it’s<br />
been really cool to have people<br />
at school ask about and be able<br />
to share the experience,” said<br />
Strawbridge.<br />
The team had next to no<br />
experience playing 3x3 basketball,<br />
but were selected on their<br />
strengths from the five-aside<br />
game which would translate<br />
well to the high intensity 3x3<br />
format.<br />
New Zealand, seeded 15th,<br />
went into the tournament<br />
with little expectation in the<br />
20-strong World Cup.<br />
However, they finished<br />
second in their pool with wins<br />
over Hungary (16-9), Russia<br />
(14-2) and Poland (21-4). Their<br />
only pool loss came against the<br />
United States 11-20.<br />
“The fact we got to the quarter<br />
ACCOMPLISHMENT: Ashley<br />
Strawbridge has returned<br />
from Mongolia with a silver<br />
medal from the FIBA Under<br />
<strong>18</strong> 3x3 World Cup <br />
finals was amazing in itself,”<br />
said Strawbridge.<br />
In the quarter-finals they<br />
SPORT<br />
defeated Japan 14-12 in an extremely<br />
tight match which went<br />
to overtime. The win set up a<br />
semi-final with No. 1 ranked<br />
China, which New Zealand<br />
swept aside 21-15 before going<br />
down to the United States 13-<br />
19 in a more than respectable<br />
performance.<br />
“When we first played them<br />
we were like: ‘Oh my god we’re<br />
playing America’,” said Strawbridge.<br />
“In the final we knew we had<br />
no pressure and all eyes were on<br />
them.”<br />
Strawbridge’s biggest contribution<br />
to the Kiwi effort came<br />
on the defensive end which saw<br />
her touted as one of the best<br />
defensive players at the tournament.<br />
She says the biggest challenge<br />
came against the United<br />
States.<br />
“They are just so quick, so it<br />
felt really good any time you<br />
could stay in front of them and<br />
stop them from scoring,” she<br />
said.<br />
Strawbridge will now<br />
turn her attention to<br />
representing New Zealand<br />
in the five-a-side game at the<br />
Oceania Championships in<br />
Noumea, New Caledonia, from<br />
August 19-24.<br />
Lawson establishes<br />
bowling team of Saints<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
HORSE AND Jockey owner<br />
Gary Lawson will headline<br />
Christchurch’s new Bowls3Five<br />
team the Elmwood Saints.<br />
The Saints will take on seven<br />
other clubs from around New<br />
Zealand over eight weeks of<br />
competition in Auckland starting<br />
in October. The competition will<br />
be broadcast live on Sky Sport<br />
three nights a week.<br />
Last year Lawson was part of<br />
the Sky commentary team during<br />
the competition. However, with<br />
the competition expanding from<br />
six to eight teams and Sky signing<br />
up to broadcast it for another<br />
three, he’s now opted to put<br />
together a team of his own.<br />
“I went to the [Elmwood]<br />
committee and said I’d like to put<br />
a team together. They were right<br />
behind it, so we put our proposal<br />
together,” said Lawson.<br />
Joining Lawson will be Mandy<br />
Boyd, Jan Shirley, Steve Ditford,<br />
Lance Pascoe and Bev Morel –<br />
who is in her late 70s. Two further<br />
team members will be named<br />
before the competition begins.<br />
“It’s great for our sport having<br />
prime time TV three times a<br />
week. We can’t ask for much<br />
more, it’s what the game’s needed<br />
for a long time,” said Lawson.<br />
“The idea for us is to have a real<br />
good crack at the title.”<br />
Last year Canterbury rugby<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
NEW CHALLENGE: Publican<br />
and former bowling world<br />
champion Gary Lawson.<br />
icon Alex Wyllie was part of<br />
the Woodend Jets team with<br />
Na Katae and Jenny Anderson.<br />
However, the team went winless<br />
during the competition which<br />
saw them relegated.<br />
“The idea of the whole thing<br />
was to show people who don’t play<br />
bowls that it’s a game anyone can<br />
play . . . I think this year they’re<br />
trying to strengthen some of the<br />
sides to make them just a little<br />
more competitive,” said Lawson.<br />
The name Elmwood Saints<br />
was inspired by Elmwood Park<br />
Bowling Club’s amalgamation<br />
with St Albans-Merivale. Lawson<br />
hopes the club’s members and<br />
Christchurch people will rally<br />
behind the team.<br />
Lawson is currently in Australia<br />
where he will represent the<br />
Blackjacks at the Asia Pacific<br />
Championships on the Gold<br />
Coast from Tuesday to <strong>June</strong> 28.

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

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

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

researched for use in cancer treatments as it<br />
has been found to promote apoptosis (cell<br />
death) of cancer cells, without harming<br />
healthy cells.<br />
Omega-3 fish oil also offers powerful<br />
anti-inflammatory benefits without the side<br />
effects of prescription anti-inflammatory<br />
drugs. It also offers numerous health<br />
benefits.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get rid of<br />
dampness in<br />
your house<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather<br />
on its way, home owners are focusing on<br />
ways to make their homes comfortable,<br />
warm and healthy for their families<br />
throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue<br />
that affects many of our older properties<br />
which suffer from poor, or no, insulation.<br />
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />
people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests<br />
have shown that up to 40 litres of water<br />
can rise from the ground and enter a<br />
house every day, leading to mildew, mould,<br />
condensation and musty smells. Moulds<br />
can produce various allergic reactions<br />
and the frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The<br />
team understands the problems caused<br />
by rising damp and are there to help.<br />
They will come to your damp home<br />
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam<br />
concrete under your timber floored home.<br />
Specially adapted for our New Zealand<br />
conditions and applications it provides a<br />
layer of protection against rising moisture.<br />
An unexpected benefit that the team at<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed<br />
recently, is that many owners of properties<br />
which had underfloor foam concrete<br />
installed, reported that it also provided<br />
protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
Ltd now for your free, no obligation<br />
quote and complimentary appraisal of<br />
your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone<br />
03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more<br />
information.<br />
Does your range<br />
hood suck?<br />
Whether it plain sucks, or whether it<br />
doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy<br />
sucker - Smooth-Air can help.<br />
Smooth-Air can either improve your<br />
current range hood, or custom build to<br />
your specifications.<br />
“We can take your attractive but noisy,<br />
underperforming range hood and retrofit<br />
it with one of our whisper quiet remote<br />
extraction fans.” says Richard Jack,<br />
Regional Manager of Smooth-Air, “We<br />
have fans which can sit in the ceiling space,<br />
or outside on your wall or roof to make it<br />
extra quiet.”<br />
In-house testing showed a difference of<br />
20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan<br />
from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood<br />
fan range hood. This corresponds to a<br />
quadrupling in perceived noise level.<br />
Range hood conversions include removal<br />
of existing fan and rewiring for new remote<br />
fan. Your local sparky can easily carry out<br />
installation of the new fan.<br />
For kitchens not suited to a standard<br />
range hood, Smooth-Air can manufacture<br />
and powdercoat a bespoke range hood to<br />
match your décor. Custom built range<br />
hoods have the benefit of being designed<br />
specifically for your house.<br />
As well as being whisper quiet, Smooth-<br />
Air’s remote fans are powerful - sucking<br />
out cooking smells and moisture so they<br />
don’t circulate around your home.<br />
Moisture in your home can cause mould<br />
and mildew on your walls and furnishings.<br />
It is also bad for the health of the occupants.<br />
Household cooking is a major source of<br />
internal moisture, therefore an effective<br />
kitchen extraction system can make a<br />
significant difference to internal moisture<br />
levels.<br />
Smooth-Air can also help with other<br />
forms of ventilation, such as bathroom<br />
extraction, condensation reduction or<br />
whole house ventilation.<br />
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help<br />
you with your kitchen extraction, as well<br />
as any other ventilation requirements.<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and <strong>June</strong>, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />
