Parents get stuck into school’s new bike track

PARENTS AT St Francis of
Assisi Catholic School didn’t
want to fundraise for a $160,000
bike track – so they decided to
build it themselves.
The idea came about after
pupils at the Mairehau school,
which has been open for three
and a half years, used left over
soil to construct a temporary
bike and scooter track.
The school looked into
building a new track and plans
were designed by a landscape
architect.
But its construction was set
to cost at least $160,000. The
school decided this was too
much to fundraise – and that’s
when a group of parents stepped
in to help.

Water plan

• By Claire Booker
DOES ANYONE in the northwest
care about the long-term
future of the city’s water?
The recent attendance at drop-in
sessions in Belfast and Bishopdale
on the draft
Integrated Water
Strategy would
suggest not.
Up to $10
billion has been
budgeted for water
management in the
city council’s Long
Term Plan, yet there
Simon
Britten
was a near-zero turnout at the
drop-in information sessions held
over the last month.
With more than 1000
submissions on the Harewood,
Breens and Gardiners Rds
intersection changes, the low
turnout at the water strategy dropin
sessions comes as a surprise.
“I’ve been to a lot of drop-in
sessions over the last few years,
and I’ve never seen such a low
turnout,” said Think Papanui’s
Simon Britten.

MUCH HAS been reported, discussed
and debated about the city’s water.
Chlorination, nitrates and whether we
will have enough supply in the decades to
come.
But as we reveal on page 1 today, public meetings to discuss
the long-term future of water haven’t exactly been awash with
interest.
In fact, you can count the number of people who have turned
up to the two meetings in the north-west suburbs on one hand.
Nineteen people in total – yes that’s 19 – have attended eight
public meetings across Christchurch.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board member
Aaron Campbell sums it up: “When it comes to the longer-term
stuff – the bigger picture stuff – trying to get people excited and
engaged on that, it’s a heck of a lot harder.”

Papanui one-stop service centre opens
BRYNDWR’S Richard
Barrington was the first person
to be served at Papanui Library’s
upgraded service centre.
And he says it was “magic”.
Mr Barrington is retired and
visits the library most days to
use a computer and read the
newspapers and magazines.
He didn’t realise the new
service centre, which opened
on Thursday, also renews motor
vehicle registrations, as it is a full
NZ Post agent.
He was pleased to find he
could renew his registration
at the service desk, and said
having so many services in one
place saves time, money and the
environment.
“I’m not a conservationist, but
it saves people going all around
town in their cars,” he said.
The service centre has reopened
after a revamp, which
involved knocking out the backoffice
and making a larger desk
space.
It is now considered a Post
Centre Plus, with postal and bill
payment services.
Said city council head of
citizen and customer services
Sarah Numan.“We are delighted
to be able to expand the range
of services we can offer local
residents from the Papanui
Service Centre.’’
Residents can also register
dogs, make finance repayments
and browse for a book in the
library – all in one trip.
The opening day was a success,
with people lining up to use the
new and improved centre.
NZ Post moved to the library
in February but shut while the
renovations took place. The
NZ Post service at Papanui
Kiwibank is no longer there, and
residents were concerned with
the prospect of not having a post
shop in Papanui.
Library staff member Jenny
Smith said the desk had been
massively popular, and it was a
great initiative.
Customer Nadine Engel said
about using the new service: “It’s
really convenient, it’s quick, and
everyone’s really friendly.”
Chris Handley, who has used

the NZ Post section at the centre
before, visited with his daughter
Freya.
He was happy with the
additional services offered.
“It’s good that it hasn’t
gone too far, it used to be just
around the corner. I think it’s
important to have it in the
community.”
The service desk will be open
from 9am-5pm weekdays.

Parents pitch in to
build new track at
St Francis of Assisi
•From page 1
On the first day of work, about
14 parents showed up to help.
Hirepool even loaned the group
a digger for the day – free of
charge.
All the parents needed to do
was hire a loader, which cost
about $600. The
group then moved
the soil in a day
and a half, a job
which was quoted
for about $60,000 in
some tenders.
Principal Jo Earl
said it is amazing to
have parents help
make the project a
reality.
“We’re pretty
excited that we’ve
got parents backing
us and wanting this
to happen for the kids,” she said.
But it’s not just the parents
doing the work, a number of
children are spending their
weekends at the track working on
small areas at a time.
Julian Meates is a parent
representative on the board of
trustees and is one of the project
co-ordinators who has been
organising working bees to get
the job done.
Mr Meates said it’s good to see
other people from within the
community coming
along to lend a hand
as well.
“We want this to
be a community
thing, and the
working bees are as
much about building
communities as
getting things done,”
he said.
The track’s
completion depends
on when the asphalt
Jo Earl can be funded and
put in. A date has not
been set because the project is so
open-ended.
But with the amount of
progress made already, the
parents are hoping they can get it
done by about March.
Low turnout at water sessions
•From page 1
In spite of the event being well
advertised on the Think Papanui
Facebook page, the Bishopdale
session on July 8 attracted only
two members of the public, not
including Mr Britten.
Bishopdale Community
Trust member Chris Coles said
generally there
has been good
attendance at
similar drop-in
meetings.
“It looks like
water isn’t such a
high priority in
Chris Coles people’s minds,”
said Mr Coles.
The Belfast meeting, which
was held earlier this month,
also had a low
turnout, with
only two people.
A Belfast
Community
Network
spokeswoman
said she had no

idea there was
a meeting, and
didn’t know
where it was held.
Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
member Aaron Campbell said
people are concerned about
issues that impact on them now,
but aren’t looking as closely at
long-term issues.
“When it comes to the longerterm
stuff, the bigger picture
stuff, trying to get people excited
and engaged on that, it’s a heck
of a lot harder,” Mr Campbell
said.
He said the lack of engagement
could be due to the high amount
of public consultation over city
council issues.
Out of the eight drop-in
sessions held across the city,
about 19 people in total attended.
Said Di Keenan, city council
head of public information and
participation: “Considering our
promotion of this consultation
has been consistent with other
consultations of city-wide
importance, these numbers are
unusually low.”
“We notified more than 190

submissions had been received as
of last week.

“Whereas the community

Mr MacDonald said the
board’s new delegations would
mean decisions, like the naming
of cemeteries, will be a more
streamlined process.
Avonhead Park Cemetery
had a name change proposal
recently, and there was
support in the community for
it to become Avonhead
Memorial Cemetery in honour
of the quake victims buried
there.
However, the city council
recomended not changing the
name.
Under the new agreement, the
community board would have
been able to make a decision on
the name change.
“A step in that direction is
a really good start from the
council,” said Mr MacDonald.

CONCERNS over accessibility
will be addressed before a
proposal to install another
bus shelter on Shirley Rd is
approved.
The Papanui-Innes
Community Board says the
planned new bus shelter and
the existing shelter outside
Shirley Intermediate School do
not provide enough room for
wheelchair users and people
with mobility issues.
Board member Jo Byrne said
it has asked
city council
staff to talk to
the Ministry
of Education
about using
its berm space
outside the
school to create
extra room at
the stop for
people with mobility issues.
Said Ms Byrne: “If we could
set that bus stop back a little
bit further onto the ministryowned
land, that will give us
more footpath space.”
The plan to upgrade the
existing bus shelter and include
space for another shelter has
been with the board since early
this year.
The request to add more space
was put to city council staff at
the board’s recent meeting.
Said a city council
spokesperson: “A number of
discussions have been had with
the MoE previously and council
have now re-engaged with
the MoE following last week’s
meeting to explore this further.
Discussions are ongoing. There
is no set deadline for this
decision to be made.”
Ms Byrne said upgrading the
bus stop has taken longer than
hoped but the board wants to get
it right for people with mobility
and accessibility issues.
“Consultation for this
was quite some time ago,
unfortunately, because it’s
been quite a prolonged affair. It
is sort of painful, but we want
to make sure it’s done right
and we want to make sure our
cyclists are safe and the road

are safe. Mobility issues and

Barbershop competition
for Rangi students
PUT YOUR perceptions of hairy
harmonising men to one side,
barbershop is not immune to
gender equality in 2019.
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School is
preparing for the regional Barbershop
competition on July 29 at
The Piano in Christchurch.
Barbershop is a style of
a cappella singing in four-part
close harmony.
Director of music at Rangi
Ruru Girls’ School, Janet
Kingsbury, said there’s a
camaraderie in barbershop that is
unique to the genre.
“The girls, who are all heavily
involved in a wide range of music
genres and groups, have been
working together just this year
and have really bloomed through
exploring the challenges and
delights of a cappella singing in
the barbershop style.”
“There’s a playfulness with the
style which is wonderful to watch
develop as the girls grow in confidence,”
she said.
The girls in the quartet –
coached by Helen Charlton – are
all current or former members of
Rangi’s senior choir, Resolutions.
Year 12 student Georgina Scott
sings lead in the quartet and
said barbershop is great fun and
recommends anyone who is inter-

ested should give it a go.
“I love doing it with the girls
as it’s a fun and rewarding way
to tap into some different music
genres and really work on improving
our singing. Working as
a quartet is really exposing and
it’s a great way to learn about
your voice and see your strengths
and weaknesses,” she said.
The regional barbershop competition
is run by Youth Singers
in Harmony to encourage and
support young people in barbershop
a cappella singing.

New mural to brighten pre-school
• By Claire Booker
IT’S A CASE of out with the
old and in with the new for a
mural at Aratupu Preschool and
Nursery.
The Papanui pre-school’s
previous mural, which faced
Harewood Rd, was part of the
community for 18 years but had
to be removed as it had faded
and its anti-graffiti coating
started to peel off.
The new mural has not been
designed yet, but it is hoped it
will brighten up the currently
single-shade wall and help deter
graffiti and tagging.
Said Christchurch Methodist
Mission executive director Jill
Hawkey: “Although we’ve not
yet decided on a design, it will
represent our commitment to
the tamariki and whānau that
Aratupu works for.”
The pre-school has been
granted $500 from the Papanui-
Innes Community Board to go
towards the mural.
Board member John
Stringer wanted the project
to get $1000.
“I argued this has been a
community asset for almost
two decades, paid for by the
childcare centre. This $1000
grant was towards something
that could last 20 years or more,”
he said.
Aratupu also plans to develop
a new logo, which will be
incorporated in the mural.
Work on the mural should start
later this year.
Aratupu is run by the
Christchurch Methodist
Mission and celebrated its 40th
anniversary in March.

GROUND-BREAKING: Richmond Working Men’s Club president Chris Taylor starts the final stage of the rebuild.
Workingmen’s club rebuild continues
• By Claire Booker
WORK ON the final stage of
the $12.9 million rebuild of the
earthquake-damaged Richmond
Working Men’s Club has started.
Club president Chris Taylor
broke the ground with a ceremonial
spade last week before
construction workers moved in
to start the project.
Work will be finished in July
next year.
The final stage of the construction
will be a new function venue
that will accommodate weddings,
corporate dinners, show
events and other functions.
The completed complex
will have three high-grade
squash courts, a new restaurant
and bistro, a TAB terminal and
game room, and plenty of parking.
The first part of the rebuild is
finished, so the club is open for
meetings and events.
Mr Taylor has been the president
of the club for the last three
years and has been a member of
the committee for 17 years.
“It’s been a long road, but we’re
finally under way,” he said.
Cook Brothers Construction
won the bid for the construction
of the project after going through
the robust tender process which
was run by the club.
The design of the new
clubroom was decided by way
of input and discussions which
involved all club members as well
as the committee.
The Richmond club, which has
been around for more than 100
years, is one of the oldest clubs
in New Zealand and it is hoped
that the new design will blow its
members away.
The plan for the club is to
secure its future with strong
strategies around its food and
beverage offerings, with a
focus on the local community
and perhaps targeting a wider
demographic.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Stream
transformed
A QUAKE-damaged
stormwater drain in Shirley
which runs into Horseshoe
Lake has been given a dramatic
makeover.
The concrete drain, known
as Number 1 Drain, has been
transformed into a naturalised
stream complete with ponds
and floating wetlands.
The floating wetlands are
densely bedded with plants,
which will send their roots into
the water and take up nitrogen,
phosphates and heavy metals,
improving the water quality in
Horseshoe Lake and the Avon
River.
City council land drainage
manager Keith Davison said the
extensive work done on Number
1 Drain, which was one of
the concrete-lined waterways
worst affected by the earthquakes,
has reduced the flood
risk for properties upstream
in Shirley and improved the
habitat for aquatic life.
“We did a fish survey prior
to the works, and found four
fish through the drain system.
When we surveyed again
recently, we counted 76 fish in
just a small portion of the drain
so naturalising the drain has
clearly improved the aquatic
habitat,’’ Mr Davison said.

Fresh, tasty takeaways
get rave reviews
With the increasing focus on
healthy eating, there’s one type of
takeaway that happily fits into that
category, while at the same time being
fresh, tasty, quick and convenient –
souvlakis from Redwood Souvlaki in
Main North Road.
Whether you are wanting a large
meal or a lighter lunch snack, you will
find it there – they offer three sizes
of souvlaki to suit all appetites. The
ingredients include locally produced
pita bread, locally sourced organic
yoghurt, and your choice of marinated
lamb leg, succulent chicken, or
juicy topside steak – all cooked to
perfection.
They also have set meals with a
choice of rice or couscous, snack
boxes and combos, while their highquality
fries are always a popular
addition to the order.
Redwood Souvlaki is a favourite
with customers not only from the
local Redwood area, but also from
as far away as Rangiora, Kaiapoi and
with

The name Monty Parti is becoming
increasingly well known in the
Christchurch real estate market –
especially in the northern suburbs of the
city.
As the franchise holder of Mike Pero
Northwood in Main North Road, which
works across these areas including
Belfast, Northwood, Redwood,
Casebrook, Prestons and Styx Mill, Monty
is building a reputation for honesty,
integrity and effective marketing in this
highly competitive sector.
Monty’s career in real estate began
eight years ago and he is passionate
about selling property. He says the most
important quality he offers his vendors is
honesty. That, and open communication
with vendors and buyers. And the most
important element in getting a property
sold quickly at a price satisfactory to
even New Brighton – such is their
reputation for flavour, quality and
friendly service.
Online reviews tell the story. As one
on Google puts it: “Very friendly, good
food, and using environmentally safe
packaging!!! Awesome”.
And another: “Absolutely the best
Souvlaki you can get. Very tasty, the
hot chips are fantastic!”
Opening hours are Monday
and Tuesday, 4.30pm-8.30pm,

Aratupu offers quality education
and strong whānau support
Parenting a preschooler
comes with
its struggles. To make
the journey for families
juggling households,
jobs, relationships
and finances a little
less difficult, Aratupu
Preschool & Nursery
offers the services of a
whānau support worker.
It was as a young
mother of three
that Kelly Bevege’s
involvement with
Aratupu began. Her
partner and his five
siblings had gone to
Aratupu as children
Kelly Bevege
so Kelly made the
natural decision to send theirs along, too. She credits the
support she received from the whānau support worker for
getting her through postnatal depression. At the onset of
depression, the support worker told her about parenting
programmes, confidence courses and relaxation classes.
Things began to improve. “It was a place I felt like I could

come and ask for help. The whānau support worker was
someone I knew I could come to without being judged
and say ‘I’m struggling” or just sit down with and cry.”
One day, Kelly was asked to take a relieving teacher
position at Aratupu. This led to the offer of a permanent
position, on condition she take teacher training. Kelly
went on to earn her diploma, with the support of Aratupu
colleagues, and is today a teacher there. “Everyone
believed in me. This place has been such a huge part of
my life for 22 years now and it truly does feel like home.”
In a couple of months, Kelly’s first grandchild will also
become an Aratupu pre-schooler.
The Aratupu whānau support service is unique to
preschools in northwest Christchurch. The on-site worker
helps with parenting or points whānau to help elsewhere.
Advice is offered in a compassionate and understanding
manner. Support and advocacy is complemented by other
services of the Christchurch Methodist Mission. On
Friday mornings, whānau are invited to the weekly coffee
group.
Preschool is the perfect place to have a whānau support
worker. “This is such a vulnerable time for families.
Parents can be going through depression, having to work,
or be first time parents not knowing what to do. There
can be relationship break-ups, as well,” Kelly says.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with
a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and
senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
and wellbeing.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the joint in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
HIP PAIN
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated than
surgery. In very few treatments the client
will know if it is going to work for them or
not, without financial commitment.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

Teens show circus skills
• By Matt Slaughter
TEENAGE CIRCUS performers
have wowed crowds.
The Christchurch Circus Trust
put on three performances of
Circus Berserkus at Roy Stokes
Hall i, with 14 performers
showing off their skills.
Producer Chris Carrow
said the performers rehearsed
for about four months to put
the show together and were
supported by two backstage
crew members during the
shows.
He said a range of talents were
showcased and enjoyed by about
500 audience members over
three nights.
The shows included aerial
acrobatics, balancing acts,
contortion, juggling and
clowning.
Said Mr Carrow: “We had
some people say, you’re better
than Cirque du Soleil.”
“Sometimes, you would say,
well a local circus, it’s just going
to be something high schoolish,
but we surpass that.”
Mr Carrow said those
involved in Circus Berserkus
had done more than just improve
their skills as performers by
taking part.
“Because most of them have
been together for a while, there’s
a bit of a family sort of feel
around the troop.
“They’re really supportive
of each other and because of
that the performance comes
together as this really joyful
experience.”
Most of the performers
have been involved with the
trust for three to four years
and have performed in other
shows.
Mr Carrow said in spite of the
difficult skills they demonstrated,
most people could learn to do
them with practice.

Many services provided for families
through Plunket
Garden maintenance is carried out
by volunteers at Plunket clinics, but
more are needed.
For families with young children, getting help and support from people
with knowledge and expertise can be a hugely beneficial, for both
parents and children.
The Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust offers a variety of services for children
under five and their whanau, from Well Child appointments with one of their
highly qualified and friendly Plunket Nurses through to Playgroups and
Parenting Education classes.
What most people don’t realise is that Plunket, a non-for-profit
organisation, is only partially funded through a contract with the Ministry
of Health. Other financial support comes from the generosity of grants
and donations from the community and fund-raising activities.
Plunket provides a number of Community Services, which rely on money
from fundraising, grants and donations, with a dedicated team of staff and
volunteers. While administered and led at a Canterbury Area level, these
Community Services are run for and by the communities where they are
based, responding directly to community need.
Through Community Services, services for families are provided for free
or at a minimal cost. They include:
Helping out at a working bee at the
Papanui Merivale Plunket grounds.
• Parenting Education (PEPE)
• Toddler groups such
as ‘Toes and Giggles’
• Coffee/Support/Parent Groups
• Playgroups
• Toy Libraries
Can you help?
Plunket is currently looking for volunteers to help support with some
maintenance of their properties, such as mowing lawns, maintaining a
garden, painting a fence or the odd handy-man job like fixing something
to the wall.
For example, there are two retired ladies that enjoy a catch-up while
doing a bit of gardening at a local Plunket clinic, where staff say it is a
‘win-win’ for both them and Plunket.
If you know of anyone, from an able and willing retiree to a local Service
Group that could help out, Plunket would be grateful if you would
pass this on to them. For anyone who is interested or would like more
information please phone or text Rebecca on 021 713 692.
Like them on Facebook and keep up to date with what’s happening in
Plunket around Canterbury at www.facebook.com/canterburyplunket

Fire rages, homes at risk
Sweet as: Appreciating the kumara
Of all the
wonderful
vegetables we
have available
to us, kumara –
or sweet potato
as its known
in other parts
of the world – would have
to be a favourite for Kiwis.
Deanna Copland provides
an example of a hearty
winter soup, which is sure to
please
Spiced kumara soup with
almonds
Ingredients
2 Tbsp coconut oil
6-8 medium kumara, ends
removed, scrubbed and grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
Sea salt and black pepper
1-litre chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
½ cup natural flaked almonds
2 Tbsp dukkah
Directions
Heat a tablespoon of coconut
oil in a large pot over high heat.
Add the kumara, garlic, cumin,
coriander, salt and pepper and
cook, stirring, for 5min or until
the kumara has softened.
Add the stock and almond
milk. Cover and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and
cook for 15min until the soup
has reduced slightly.
While the soup is cooking,
heat the remaining oil in a small
fry pan over high heat. Add the
almonds and dukkah and cook,
stirring until golden and crisp.
Divide the soup among four
bowls and top with the almond
mixture.
Serve with a slice of crusty
pumpkin seed sourdough for the
ultimate winter meal.
Enjoy a healthy salad with
your kumara. For this recipe,
soak your spelt overnight
ready to eat the following
evening. Perfect eaten warm,
this salad also keeps well
in the fridge for a couple of
days, so save those leftovers
for weekday lunches
Roasted carrot, pearled
spelt and orange salad
Ingredients
1 red onion, chopped
300g baby carrots, greens intact
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus
extra for drizzling
200g (1 cup) dry spelt (soaked
overnight in cold water)
1 medium orange
2 generous handfuls of kale,
finely shredded
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
6 whole dried figs, finely chopped
A fistful of crushed roasted
Hazelnuts
Sea salt and cracked
Black pepper
Directions
Heat the oven to 200 deg C.
Place the red onion on a baking
tray with the carrots (greens
removed and set aside) and a
drizzle of olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper and roast for
20min.
Once the carrots and red
onion have gone into the oven,
thoroughly rinse the soaked spelt
and boil over a medium heat for
20min as well.
Grate the zest from the orange
and set aside. Squeeze the juice
from the orange.
Place the shredded kale in a
large bowl along with the two
tablespoons of olive oil, apple
cider vinegar and orange juice,
massaging it into the kale for
5min.
Add the cooked spelt, roasted
carrots and onion and carrot
greens to the bowl with the kale.
Toss in the orange zest, finely
chopped dried figs and crushed
hazelnuts. Give everything a
good mix and feel free to season
further with cracked black
pepper and sea salt, before
drizzling with a little extra olive
oil.
