Now the St Albans designer is 

a finalist for the third time. And 

this year, she is upping the ante 

with three different pieces. 

They follow the theme of 

mythology and Mrs Hutchison- 

Thomas said the designs are 

based on shape and colour, but 

she could not reveal more than 

that before WoW takes place 

from September 26 to October 

13 in Wellington. 

At the age of 18, after studying 

fashion at Christchurch 

Polytechnic, she began a job as 

a wardrobe mistress with the 

Southern Ballet. 

“I was 18, and while thrown 

in the deep end, I knew this was 

what I wanted to do,” she said.

Revised 

plan not 

enough 

to reduce 

traffic in 

St Albans 


RESIDENTS ARE unhappy with 

the city council’s revised plan to 

reduce traffic in St Albans once 

the Northern Arterial Motorway 

is built. 

St Albans Residents Association 

chairwoman Emma Twaddell 

said the updated plan does not 

do enough to reduce congestion 

and carbon emissions. She says 

the city council is not showing 

leadership after it declared a 

climate emergency. 

The controversial Downstream 

Effects Management Plan was 

revised after the city council 

opted not to endorse it. The 

original plan did not address 

traffic volumes on Cranford St 

which are expected to more than 

double from an existing 21,000 

vehicles a day to 48,000 vehicles a 

day within five years. 

However, some of the revised 

plan’s major objectives to reduce 

traffic, such as public transport 

and high occupancy vehicle 

lanes, have been described as a 

project for the future in the plan’s 

consultation document.

Students help bring down old campus 


THE HISTORIC buildings 

in Papanui which were home 

to students from Te Ora Hou 

Otautahi have been demolished 

in preparation for a new-look 

campus. 

And it was the students from 

the alternative learning programme, 

te kaupapa whakaora, 

who started the demolition 

process with crowbars, hammers 

and a bit of hard work. 

The Windermere Rd site was 

originally a farmhouse, but became 

Loreto Convent and later 

Loreto College. 

The buildings were built in the 

early 1950s and are no longer 

adequate for the alternative 

education programme. 

Te Ora Hou Otautahi general 

manager Jono Campbell, 47, has 

been involved with the education 

organisation for 30 years 

and says the buildings were rugged 

and rundown. 

“It was leaking, cold and 

drafty,” he said. 

Mr Campbell said having the 

students involved in the demolition 

was part of the organisations 

key values of supporting 

the transition of students from 

children to adults. 

“One thing we like to do in 

this process is to acknowledge 

the significant milestones in a 

young person’s life . . . so it was 

just a chance to engage our guys 

with actually being a part of the 

process,” he said. 

Te Ora Hou Otautahi has 

been operating since 1983, 

and its alternative education 

DEMOLITION: Te kaupapa 

whakaora alternative 

education manager Michael 

Patrick gets ready to help 

demolish the old school 

campus on Windermere Rd. 

programme was started in 1995. 

The programme enrols about 

35 students a year, ranging 

from year 9-11, and its mission 

is to make learning fun and 

engaging. 

The new buildings are due to 

arrive on site today and were 

previously used at Canterbury 

University. 

Mr Campbell said it is hoped 

the installation of the buildings, 

deck and gardens is finished by 

Christmas. 

The $2.4 million rebuild has 

been funded through support 

from the Rata Foundation, the 

city council and fundraising. 

Mr Campbell is looking 

forward to the site being 

completed, saying it will be a 

space not only for students, but 

for the youth of Papanui and 

their whanau. “It means we 

can support our students to be 

healthy, and just be in a much 

nicer environment. A place 

that they can be proud of, take 

ownership in, and actually enjoy 

coming to every day,” he said. 

In Brief 

QE II DRIVE NIGHT WORK 

Night work will start on the QE 

II Drive bridge from tomorrow 

night until August 16. Wall 

panels will be removed for the 

bridge abutments so further 

piling work can happen. This is 

because the ground is softer than 

first thought, so re-piling work is 

necessary to ensure longevity. The 

work will take place between 8pm 

and 6am. 

FACILITY UPDATE 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has short-listed four 

building companies for the 

rebuild of the community centre 

in St Albans. Tender offers close 

today, and the lead contractor 

is expected to be announced in 

September. 

FUNDS APPROVED 

It’s good news for 15 young 

people in the Nor’West News 

area, $2500 has been funded in 

the last week from the Papanui- 

Innes and Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood community boards’ 

Youth Development Funds. 

Students from Villa Maria 

College, Papanui High School, 

St Bede’s College, St Andrew’s 

College, Cobham Intermediate 

and Casebrook Intermediate were 

awarded funds towards their 

school trips.

St Albans costume designer 

looks to sew up award 

•From page 1 

•From page 1 

Since the start of her career, 

she has worked in many film, 

TV, opera and musical theatre 

costume departments throughout 

New Zealand and abroad. 

“A couple of years ago I finally 

got to work my dream job – 

costume designer on a period 

feature film,” she said. 

Mrs Hutchison-Thomas once 

doubted whether she was artistic 

enough to enter WoW but this 

is now her third year in the 

competition, and her third time 

being a finalist. 

“I wasn’t sure if I would 

enter again, after winning the 

NZ Design Award last year, I 

felt I had met my goal. But the 

competition is so addictive, and 

such a wonderful experience, I 

couldn’t pass it up,” she said. 

This year WoW has two big 

awards which could see the 

winners head overseas. The 

Cirque du Soleil Invited Artisan 

Award will give someone 

the chance to visit Montreal, 

Canada, and the new Residency 

Experience Award, which will 

give the winner an opportunity 

to showcase up to five pieces 

in Los Angeles. Her husband 

Tim and her three children Lily, 

COLLECTABLE: Tina Hutchison-Thomas’ 

winning design from last year, called Eye 

See You Fluffy Kōwhai, is now part of 

WoW’s historic collection.

13, Harry, 12, and Maddie, 9, 

understand that sometimes when 

she has a big job they won’t see 

her much, but she said they know 

there’s always an 

end. 

Mrs Hutchison- 

Thomas said she 

has managed to get 

all the work done 

with some very long 

hours, late nights 

and support from 

her parents and 

husband. This year’s 

design process has 

been complex due to 

the different shapes 

in her pieces, and she 

has had the added 

hurdle of working in 

her garage, because 

the family recently 

moved into a 

townhouse, so most 

of her studio is in 

storage. 

After the 

competition is over, 

Mrs Hutchison- 

Thomas will 

continue her studies, 

and prepare for her 

first exhibition in Mt 

Pleasant later this 

year.

Concerns remain over plan 

to manage traffic from 

Northern Arterial Motorway 

Residents are frustrated 

because under the plan the lanes 

won’t be completed by the time 

the motorway extension opens 

late next year. 

Said Ms Twaddell: “Have they 

forgotten they declared a climate 

change emergency a 

month ago? Where is 

the courage to make a 

change that is urgently 

required to reduce 

carbon emissions now?” 

Said city council 

transport planning 

and delivery manager 

Lynette Ellis: “These 

projects are not part of 

the initial package of 

works we’re proposing in the St 

Albans, Edgeware and Mairehau 

areas, but they are part of the 

big-picture approach. We have 

also designed the initial package 

of work to allow for bus or carpooling 

lanes to be added in 

when this work is complete.” 

However, Ms Twaddell said the 

city council needs to move faster. 

“We can’t lower our emissions 

without better transport options 

which allow this. But once 

again, the city council is focused 

on using our rate money to 

accommodate single-occupant 

Mike 

Davidson 


commuter traffic and at the 

detriment to many of their 

residents,” she said. 

City councillor Mike 

Davidson said the revised plan is 

not perfect. 

“The proposal that’s gone out 

was never going to be perfect 

because when you throw 

a motorway into a suburb, 

it’s always going to create 

bad outcomes. But what 

we’re trying to achieve is 

something good out of it.” 

The city council is 

working with the New 

Zealand Transport Agency, 

Waimakariri District 

Council and Environment 

Canterbury on a number of 

projects to reduce traffic in the St 

Albans area, including the high 

occupancy vehicle and public 

transport lanes. 

Ms Twaddell says the 

organisation will also continue 

to work with the city council to 

get a project on the table which 

focuses on reducing traffic before 

the motorway extension opens.

plan is open until August 19.

“ I had been placed into what I thought was a very negative and stuck 

situation due to experiences with another Real Estate Agent so I reached 

out to Cameron Bailey with details of my situation and he did not hesitate 

to offer his assistance, advice and reassurance. I appreciated his ability to 

connect and relate to my situation with empathy whilst upholding extreme 

professionalism and as a consequence enabled the selling of my home to be 

a very peaceful and quick process. Adding to that I was offered the services

Community group head stands down 


ALAN AND Dilys Hardy had 

the choice to retire in Spain or 

Florida, but 13 years ago they 

decided on Christchurch. 

Mr Hardy became involved in 

the Belfast Community Network 

but has decided to step down 

from his role as chairman. 

The couple have been married 

for 53 years, and have travelled 

to many places together. 

Mr Hardy, 74, said there are a 

few key factors associated with a 

long and happy marriage. 

“Perseverance, a sense of 

humour and I suppose a lot of 

good luck,” he said. 

South-West Nigeria, United 

Arab Emirates, Chile, Northeast 

Nigeria and Egypt are 

among the places the couple 

have been in their lives. 

Mr Hardy had a busy work life 

before he retired. He began his 

career as a marine engineer and 

had various other roles in between 

his next stint with a major 

international cement company 

where he travelled around the 

United Kingdom, Middle East, 

Africa and South America. 

After 18 years abroad, with no 

real sense of home, Mr and Mrs 

Hardy decided it was time to 

settle in one place and retire, New 

Zealand seemed like a good fit. 

TRAVELLERS: Alan Hardy and his wife Dilys retired to New 

Zealand 17 years ago, after a life of travelling they chose 

Christchurch to settle ahead of Spain and Florida. 


The couple were in Christchurch 

for the earthquakes, but Mr 

Hardy said although they were 

unpleasant, after five years of 

working in Chile with regular 

tremors and erupting volcanoes, 

earthquakes were nothing 

unusual. 

They first settled in 

Northwood but then moved to 

Belfast, where Mr Hardy became 

involved with the network. 

Mr Hardy was on the 

board for four years and has 

been the chairman for the last 

two years, but he has decided 

to step back from this role to 

focus on his health and enjoy his 

retirement. 

In his time with the network, 

Mr Hardy said one of the things 

he was most proud of was getting 

a living wage for the staff, 

and helping to progress the 

many groups the network run, 

including the Belfast Active 

Senior Support group. 

“Recently, through the 

support of donators, including 

the rugby club, we now do a 

holiday programme where we 

will take them (BASS group 

members) out on trips once a 

week somewhere – even just to 

the beach so they can put their 

feet in the water.” 

Mr Hardy says he will miss 

being the chairman at BCN 

and working with the people 

involved with the network. 

“I will miss working with the 

dedicated board members and 

hardworking BCN staff and 

seeing growth in their skills and 

abilities as they successfully take 

on new tasks,” he said. 

Upgraded 

library 

reopens 

THE FENDALTON Library 

and Service Centre has reopened 

following a five-month closure 

for refurbishment and repairs. 

Library users can now enjoy 

the upgraded 

heating and

systems. 

City council 

head of libraries 

and information 

Carolyn 

Robertson said 

the library now 

Carolyn 

Robertson 

has improved spaces. 

“The enhanced space better 

meets community needs, 

providing plenty of room for 

social interaction and a wealth 

of knowledge and entertainment 

resources,” she said. “The library 

is a key component of the local 

social infrastructure – a true 

centre of the neighbourhood. 

I know that the library and 

service centre’s services and 

accessibility are particularly 

valued by members of the older 

and younger communities.” 

All of the usual services are 

available at the library, including 

postal services.

Students find space mission a real 


FUTURE ASTRONAUTS from 

St Margaret’s College, Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School and Christchurch 

Girls High School have come 

back from the NASA space camp 

feeling over the moon. 

The programme was at the 

NASA Johnson Space Centre in 

Houston, Texas, over the July 

school holidays, with students 

from New Zealand, Australia and 

Taiwan attending. 

The camp was an immersive 

programme that supported individual 

leadership, project management 

and communication skills, 

with a focus on STEAM subjects – 

science, technology, engineering, 

art, and mathematics, or applied 

mathematics. 

During the camp, the girls met 

NASA astronauts, explored all the 

different NASA facilities, and visit 

areas that are usually closed to the 

public. 

The students also visited interactive 

museums and displays which 

enabled them to get a real appreciation 

of the science that supports 

space exploration. 

The students were in Huntsville 

in the lead up to celebrate the 50th 

anniversary of the lunar landing. 

They watched the launch of 

5000 rockets at the exact time that 

Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong 

left earth on July 16, 1969, which 

was also part of the Guinness Book 

of Records attempt. 

At space camp in the US Space 

and Rocket Centre, the students 

were involved in activities such as 

spinning around in the multi-axis 

trainer and got to experience a 

minimal gravity simulation. 

The students spent their days 

doing different space-related 

challenges and competitions, 

from building and coding robots 

to constructing and launching 

rockets as well as completing the 

simulated Mars mission. 

In the Mars mission, each student 

had a particular role either in 

mission control, on the space shuttle 

or on the International Space 

Station. 

The girls got to launch the rocket 

with the shuttle, dock the shuttle 

with the ISS, conduct experiments 

and activities dressed in space suits 

and then swap over astronauts to 

return them back to earth. 

Linda Chong, head of the centre 

of innovation at St Margaret’s College 

accompanied the students and 

said the girls coped well throughout 

the action-packed trip.”I hope 

that their interest in STEAM has 

been fuelled. Anything is possible 

and this experience has inspired 

them to greatness,” Ms Chong 

said. 

Amber 

Spurway, 17, 

Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School 

“We visited 

areas the 

public can’t 

usually 

access, and 

worked 

alongside 

some pretty 

senior NASA 

experts as we 

designed and 

planned our 

own space 

mission 

within a set 

budget. We 

also worked 

towards 

completing 

a challenge 

which 

involved us 

working in teams of four 

to create a business that 

would solve the growing 

problem of space junk. 

This culminated in us 

presenting a business 

pitch to some NASA 

engineers, which was both 

terrifying and incredibly 

exciting. We somehow 

also managed to find time 

on our trip to see a major 

league baseball game, 

and get some shopping 

done of course. I met 

some awesome people 

and had the chance to 

learn some incredible 

things. It’s an experience I 

will never forget.” 

Tessa Sitjes, 13, St 

Margaret’s College 

“Space Camp was an 

incredible experience that 

I will never forget. I made 

so many new friends, 

visited so many amazing 

places and learned so 

many interesting things. 

I got to see the historic 

mission control, the Saturn 

V rocket and perform in 

my own mock-up mission. 

It definitely enhanced my 

knowledge of space and 

this trip also helped me 

grow as a person when 

learning about the 7 Habits 

of Highly Effective Teens. I 

now have an idea of what I 

want to do when I’m older 

and I am really grateful 

that I took this wonderful 

opportunity.”



blast 

Claudia Hundleby, 13, St 

Margaret’s College 

“Overall, Space Camp was 

an amazing experience 

and I am so thankful to 

have been given this 

opportunity. Of all the 

amazing moments I will 

never forget a particular 

highlight was the historic 

mission control tour. I 

really enjoyed being able 

to see the room as it was 

the day they landed on the 

moon and it was a very 

inspirational moment.” 


ST MARGARET’S College 

head girl Suejean In will be part 

of a group of 22 students from 

around New Zealand who are 

set to travel overseas for a United 

Nations conference next year. 

Suejean (right), 17, of 

Harewood, became interested 

in global development and 

youth impact programmes after 

attending the Aotearoa Youth 

Declaration earlier this year. 

“I believe that by participating 

in the global development tour, 

I will be able to expand my 

knowledge on education and 

ultimately learn how to become 

an impactful global citizen,” she 

said. 

The students will travel to 

London, Rome, Vienna, Berlin, 

Paris and New York in January, 

where they will visit cities at 

the forefront of sustainable

Maintenance 

work by students 


Spuds fund Helen’s scooter 

• By Matt Slaughter 

STUDENT Volunteer Army 

volunteers got to work in and 

around St Albans and East 

Christchurch last Saturday. 

About 100 students and 20 

community members worked 

on more than 10 projects 

including maintenance work at 

Montessori BestStart pres-chool 

and Rawhiti Domain in New 

Brighton. 

The volunteering effort was 

part of the SVA’s connect the 

community project, which has 

been part of its calendar since 

2013 and become its secondlargest 

event of the year. 

Said SVA president Sati 

Ravichandiren: “This event 

[is] about maintaining that 

connection and continuing to 

connect.” 

Mr Ravichandiren said students 

and community members 

benefited from the volunteering 

work. 

“They’re really appreciative 

of getting those student hands 

helping out and providing that 

labour. But, more than that as 

well, when you meet with the 

families who came along and 

talking to people who joined 

us in the hub afterwards, it’s 

great for the students to feel that 

appreciation.” 


FOR 15 YEARS Helen Ratapu 

has struggled with back pain and 

arthritis, which has stopped her 

from taking her grandchildren 

swimming and to the park. 

But now the 65-year-old of 

Redwood can do all she ever 

wanted to, thanks to potatoes. 

Mrs Ratapu has been trying to 

get funding for a mobility scooter 

for the last eight months, and 

help finally came from the Belfast 

Kaiapoi Rotary Club. 

The club holds an annual 

fundraiser in which it grows and 

sells new potatoes over Christmas. 

Some of the money raised was 

used to purchase Mrs Ratapu’s 

mobility scooter for $3200. 

“This will change my life,” she 

said. 

The potato fundraiser has been 

running for about eight years 

and has previously paid for items 

including Chromebooks for 

Northcote School pupils, before 

school breakfast programmes, and 

transport to mid-week school sports. 

Mrs Ratapu’s husband has 

been taking their grandchildren 

swimming and to the Margaret 

Mahy Playground on their bikes. 

Now Mrs Ratapu is able to do 

things like that with her new 

mobility scooter, if it will go that 

far. She couldn’t decide what she 

is most looking forward to, but 

being out with her grandchildren 

over the summer is an exciting 

prospect. 

“There’s nothing in particular I 

want to do – just lots of things in 

general,” she said. 

Mr and Mrs Ratapu have 

been the caregivers for their 

granddaughters, Jodi, 9, and Zoe, 

11, for the last five years. Mrs 

Ratapu is pleased she will be 

able to spend more time with them. 

A combination of osteoporosis 

and degenerative arthritis have 

led to multiple bone fractures for 

Mrs Ratapu and make moving 

around painful and dangerous. 

Since she received the scooter, 

Mrs Ratapu has enjoyed getting 

out with her granddaughters, and 

is looking forward to the warmer 

weather and all the different 

activities they will get up to. 

She is grateful to the Rotary club, 

which has also donated a shed to 

store the scooter in. 

Said Belfast Kaiapoi Rotary Club 

president Peter Prattley: “Our club 

is committed to helping those who 

need a bit of a hand up.” 

“All those who helped grow, 

harvest and sell the potatoes, 

along with our valued customers 

who regularly buy them, can be 

pleased to see the funds making a 

real difference to someone’s life,” 

he said.

Save money by trading baby clothes 

• By Laura Hitchon 

A NEW venture to help parents 

of newborn babies save money 

has opened in Christchurch. 

The Canterbury Baby Clothing 

Library in Spreydon operates 

a clothing exchange system 

where members can trade good 

quality second-hand baby clothing 

for other good quality second-hand 

baby clothing items of 

a similar nature. Library owner 

Jacky Bakker said the library 

system loosely worked on a likefor-like 

exchange. 

Ms Bakker said she came up 

with the idea for the business after 

buying some expensive baby 

clothing for her grandson on an 

overseas website and discovered 

it was too small, but was unable 

to exchange it. 

“Babies are constantly growing, 

so rather than people 

throwing out their old baby 

clothes and sending them to 

landfill, why not exchange 

them,” she said. 

In addition to reducing 

landfill, Ms Bakker hoped to 

make shopping for baby clothes 

more enjoyable, affordable and 

less time-consuming for new 

parents. 

Customer and grandmotherto-be 

Janice Belgrave said it 

was easy to spend $35 on a new 

outfit that only ended up being 

worn once or twice. “It’s great if 

parents are able to recycle and 

reuse where possible,” she said. 

Christchurch Parents Centre 

president Yvette Cundy said a 

lot of parents were surprised at 

how quickly they went through 

clothing and that selling them 

online was a time-consuming 

process. “The process of putting 

items up on Trade Me, listing 

everything and waiting for people 

to collect the items, it’s just 

too hard,” she said. 

Ms Bakker said having a baby 

was meant to be an enjoyable experience, 

but people got caught 

up with the image and expense 

of it instead of savouring it. 

“I get to make contact with 

people at the happiest time of 

their lives, which is just lovely,” 

she said. 

Rather than spending a heap 

of money on baby clothing, Ms 

Bakker believed people should 

spend it on what matters, like 

car seats, mattresses or good 

shoes. 

“You can still achieve a cool 

look by shopping sensibly,” she 

said. Ms Bakker said label clothing 

and generic clothing were 

treated exactly the same and 

what mattered was the quality of 

the garment. 

“Clothing to be traded must 

be free of holes and discolouration 

and must have fully functioning 

zips, domes and buttons. 

“Hats, socks, singlets and

most knitwear are not accepted 

but can be donated by members 

for other people to use. 

“Premature and special occasion 

clothing are also available 

on request,” she said. 

Ms Belgrave said she was 

gifting a full membership to her 

children and hoped it would 

make things a little easier for 

them. 

“A membership to the baby 

library would make an ideal 

gift for a baby shower too,” 

she said. Casual and full 

memberships are available 

and visits to the library are by 

appointment only. Once the 

clothing is exchanged, it’s the 

customers to keep.” 

BAKE SALE: Papanui High 

School students Alisha 

Hitchens, Kisania Shingleton 

and Bidhya Chhetri looked 

after the sweet treats. 

Cakes earn $328 

for Starship 

LAST WEEK, Papanui High 

School participated in the 

inaugural bake it better for 

Starship, a campaign to raise 

funds for Starship Hospital. 

And they raised $328 for the 

cause. 

The campaign encouraged 

workplaces, schools and communities 

to hold bake sales with all 

funds raised going directly to buy 

new equipment and training for 

the National Children’s Hospital. 

Students from the Papanui 

High School service council and 

student council volunteered their 

time – with help from their parents 

– to bake treats that were sold 

to students and staff. 

Assistant principal Rachel 

McConnell was pleased with the 

outcome. 

“The baking is always excellent 

and the high level of goods had 

staff lining up early,” she said.

Your Local Views 


To have your say on an issue in the city’s 

nor’west, email claire.booker@starmedia.kiwi 

Readers respond to the 

article in Nor’West News 

about the low turnout at 

the draft Integrated Water 

Strategy drop-in meeting 

sessions 

Jayvine Morgan – Deciding 

to have meetings in the middle 

of winter, it is no wonder there 

was a low turnout. It’s freezing 

and we had a particularly 

horrible event only four months 

ago that shocked our town and 

country. This type of incident 

can affect people for a long time. 

There are already countries 

suffering from lack of water. 

We have such an amazing asset 

here in New Zealand, which 

we are almost giving away at 

the moment. I hope we become 

aware of just how important 

water is for the future and our 

country has a lot of it. It could 

become an important part of our 

contribution to other countries. 

Marney Ainsworth – The 

Bryndwr Community Group 

is listed in CINCH, which is 

the database maintained by the 

Christchurch City Libraries. 

We heard nothing about this 

consultation. It seems the city 

council isn’t even using its own 

information to communicate and 

connect. 

Michael J. Brathwaite – I 

don’t think there is too much 

consultation. In fact, I don’t think 

FUTURE OF WATER: Up to $10 billion has been budgeted for water management in the city 

council’s Long Term Plan, yet there was a near-zero turnout at the drop-in information sessions 

held recently. 

we have any real consultation. 

If people are not attending 

meetings, it is probably because 

by now most residents are aware 

of what a sham the consultation 

process is. When the council 

make a plan, it includes a few 

ridiculous things that it intends 

all along to remove, then claim 

it’s done so in response to the 

submissions. Regarding the 

water. For me, the main issue is 

the Government’s plan to give 

health boards the right to force 

councils to fluoridate their water 

supplies, and when that becomes 

law there will be no consultation 

because the council and 

ratepayers will have no say in 

the matter. 

Linda Hodgen – I feel the 

reason you don’t get residents 

turning up to meetings is because 

they don’t feel their views will 

be listened to. There was a big 

turnout rally against the selling 

of water rights for plastic bottles 

and selling overseas. Nothing 

happened and more water is 

being bottled. We accepted that 

there was a need for chlorine, 

which was meant to be 

finished in May but there 

is still some chlorine. Water 

is a valuable resource and we 

are giving it away. We are 

having to go to deeper aquifers to 

get clean water but how big is the 

aquifer? I understand it is only 

now starting to be measured. 

We don’t want sea water 

contamination. There have been 

two overseas research studies 

pointing to a link between high 

nitrate levels and bowel cancer. 

I understand Christchurch has 

a high level of bowel disease 

but before anything is done to 

control nitrate levels you want to 

do another study and so 

delay any improvement. Then 

you ask why we haven’t turned 

up. 

Readers respond to an 

article about community 

boards having more 

decision-making powers 

Anthony Brooks – The 

reason why we don’t want to give 

more power to the community 

boards is clearly shown by the 

example you gave – changing the 

name of the cemetery. The main 

council says no, the board says 

yes, the tail wagging the dog. 

With less and less people 

making the decisions it becomes 

spending money for the sake of 

spending and we already have 

enough of that.

From Boys’ High to Belgium 

for talented young rider 

• By Jacob Page 

WINNER: Bailey O’Donnell crosses the line after beating a field 

of 89 to take a 100km race in Deinze, Belgium. 

FORMER Christchurch Boys’ 

High School cyclist Bailey 

O’Donnell’s gamble on himself 

appears to be paying off as he 

won his first road race in Europe. 

The 18-year-old is in the midst 

of a two-month stint racing on 

the roads of Belgium, an opportunity 

organised by former 

New Zealand cyclist Hayden 

Roulston. 

O’Donnell said he would use 

the opportunity to try to make 

the most of his talent while he 

could, but he has also been doing 

some part-time building work 

back in Christchurch. 

O’Donnell won a 100km race, 

often referred to as a kermesse, 

in Deinze, west of Flanders. 

He is racing for a small 

under-23 Belgium team and is 

loving the experience. 

“Belgium is pretty much the 

home of road cycling in the 

world, I think it’s the biggest 

sport here after soccer. 

“They have many different 

kinds of races on every day of the 

week in different areas, people 

come from all over the world to 

race here. 

“They close the whole town 

down for the race and every one 

from that town comes out to 

watch and also there is always a 

carnival on at the same time.” 

O’Donnell said he saw an opportunity 

to take control of the 

race and took it. 

“I decided to race a lot more 

aggressive than I have been and 

put myself in to the red a lot 

more than usual,” he said. 

“It came down to a bunch 

sprint and I didn’t know if I had 

the legs but I saw a gap open on 

the inside with about 300m to go 

and I hit it and managed to get 

past everyone and hold on for 

the win by a few bike lengths.” 

O’Donnell said he still has 

a month to go in Belgium and 

hopes he can catch the eye of 

team scouts and hopefully get 

the chance to come back.

THE MIDDLETON Grange 

basketball team has been playing 

with “a chip on their shoulder 

all season” and now it’s helped 

them claim the Dowson Cup. 

They produced a stirring 

comeback to win 102-90 and end 

Cashmere High School’s twoyear 

reign over Canterbury high 

school basketball’s equivalent of 

the Ranfurly Shield. 

They will defend it against St 

Andrew’s College next Tuesday. 

Co-coach Jack Williamson 

said the team have “trained 

the house down after being 

ranked the fifth best school in 

Canterbury in the preseason 

rankings. 

“The boys disagreed with that 

and they’ve been playing with

Cup last

Middleton Grange ballers

season.” 

Cashmere held the cup since 

May 30, 2017, when they beat 

Burnside High School. 

Williamson said he believed 

his team could win at the start 

of the game, especially with 

Cashmere’s imposing Tom 

Webley out injured. 

“Being down 19 points in the 

third quarter, I guess you could 

say at that point, I didn’t think 

we could come back but the guys 

showed plenty to storm back 

into it. 

“I said to the guys that it was 

important to stay grounded after 

the win. It’s important not to 

get too over-confident after one 

result. We don’t necessarily have 

the size or the strength of some 

teams but we go out there with 

a good basketball IQ and a love 

of the game and that counts for 

a lot.”

In your 

neighbourhood 

A safe, gentle way to improve 

fitness and health 

For all those wanting to improve their strength, 

fitness and overall health in a relaxed, friendly 

environment, Charisma Health & Leisure in 

Avonhead provides the ideal opportunity. 

Not a gym, Charisma Health & Leisure is equipped 

with six Shapemaster Powertone electronic beds, 

each one designed to target specific muscle groups. 

Owner Katrina Barron explains: “With the 

Powertone system, the beds are all pre-set to operate 

for five minutes, and clients move from one to the 

next for the different sets of movements, with their 

session lasting just over 30 minutes. 

“The speed and resistance of each bed can be 

varied according to individual needs, and they are 

very safe – people of any age and any level of fitness 

can use them and gain the benefits.” 

These benefits include improving core strength, 

gaining longer, leaner muscles, improving circulation 

and increasing energy, as well as helping those with 

conditions such as osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis. 

People also find the system useful for regaining 

strength and normal movement after surgery such 

as hip replacement, Katrina says, and for anyone 

with an injury such as a broken ankle or damaged 

shoulder, who want to maintain their fitness while 

recovering, the injured area can be isolated while 

they use the system. 

The Shapemaster system was developed in the UK 

in the late 1980s, and is now widely used around the 

world as a gentle, safe form of exercise. Charisma 

Health & Leisure in Avonhead is one of only two 

places in New Zealand that offers it. 

“Our other advantage is there is no pressure on 

people to sign contracts – we don’t have contracts, 

we offer flexible packages for our clients,” Katrina 

says. 

“You can come for a free trial, where we take you 

through the system, explain how it works and the 

health benefits it provides. 

“If you like it you can then take a month’s 

membership during which you can come once a 

day for as many days as you wish. After that you can 

choose from one of our flexible packages.” 

Charisma Health & Leisure is located at 45 

Merrin Street, just along from the Avonhead Mall. 

Phone 358 3834. Open Monday to Friday 7.30am- 

5.30pm and Saturday 8am-12.30pm. 

The Powertone electronic beds each 

provide different sets of movements 

for the body’s muscle groups.

Shirley Intermediate School Mission Statement 

Educating locally for lifelong connection 

Do you remember the days of knowing your 

neighbours? In this digital age, building 

local connections creates lifelong anchors 

for our children. Whether it’s bringing the 

community into the classroom, or making 

classroom learning relevant for the real 

world, Shirley Intermediate has - since 

1934 - been a core part of the wider Shirley, 

Richmond and Dallington communities. 

With a major building programme 

coming, and the move (to next door) of 

Banks Avenue School , the local educational 

pathways are increasingly compelling. 

Know local, go local - Put a stake in 

the ground and put your hand up for the 

wellbeing and connectedness of your 

children within your community. • Social 

cohesion and individual growth • Learning 

through inquiry and direct teaching 

• Learning in the classroom and in the 

community • Academia and creativity 

Rachel and Azif share with assembly

Growing global citizens at St Joseph’s 

youth ambassadors from China visiting the 

school. Principal Aaron Richards explains 

that the strength of the programme lies 

in immersing students in a culture that 

is different than their own. This enables 

students to develop an understanding 

that cultural diversity is not limited to just 

doing things differently, it is more about 

thinking differently. Learning this concept 


early enhances attitudes such as tolerance, 

open-mindedness and inclusion. It also 

strengthens students abilities to engage 

with and communicate with people from 

different cultural backgrounds. It is my 

hope that this experience will be a catalyst 

for the students who in the future could 

be leaders in New Zealand's international 

trade Industry.

Solving and the 2020 Space Camp trip 

where 24 girls will travel to the United States 

to attend a week long Space Camp. 

A supportive all-girl learning environment 

encourages girls to take risks without fear 

of failure. As the girls progress they are 

confident in their abilities, understanding 

that perseverance helps them grow. A 

school-wide buddy programme provides 

each girl with support and mentoring. 

Learning is personalised 

and each teacher has the 

time to foster authentic and 

meaningful relationships. 

Strong relationships 

between the class teacher 

and family ensure each girl’s 

learning journey is nurtured 

by a partnership of support. 

Teachers construct learning 

activities to help each girl 

identify their personal 

strengths. 

Selwyn House believes 

these strengths can be 

applied to academic tasks 

and become more powerful 

with the acquisition of skills 

and knowledge, aiding 

intellectual development 

and academic achievement. 

For this reason core 

learning in reading, writing 

and mathematics is a 

priority. Specialist teachers 

in Spanish, Mechatronics, 

Art, Science, Physical 

Education, Swimming, Performing Arts and 

Music work with classroom teachers to help 

identify the strengths of every girl. 

The environment at Selwyn House 

empowers each girl to embrace their future 

and develop a love of learning. A Selwyn 

House girl will learn to define herself, 

accept responsibility, form opinions, 

and have compassion for the world. 

This combination of achievement, 

confidence, and character makes 

a Selwyn House education a powerful 

and transformative experience.

House or to schedule a personal tour

Tasty Bites 

Moreish treats using oats and rice flour 

Chock full of fruits, seeds, 

and oats, this muesli bar 

recipe by Joan Bishop is 

a healthy treat. The fat 

content and added sugar 

is low and the tastes and 

textures of the fruits and 

spices blend with and 

enhance the slightly 

nutty flavour of wholegrain 

oats. Then top it off with 

a decadent yet delicate 

black rice steam cake 

Pineapple muesli slice 

Makes 40-44 slices 

Ingredients 

50g butter, chopped 

3 Tbsp honey 

425g can crushed pineapple in 

juice, well drained 

3 Tbsp lime juice 

140g crystallised ginger, chopped 

120g dried apricots, chopped 

120g dried pineapple pieces, 

chopped 

1 large egg, size 7, lightly beaten 

100g pumpkin seeds 

100g sunflower seeds 

100g desiccated coconut 

140g whole grain oats 

100g standard flour 

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

½ tsp ground nutmeg 

Directions 

SENIOR LIVING 

Place the butter, honey, 

crushed pineapple and lime juice 

in a large saucepan over low heat 

and stir until melted and mixed. 

Add the ginger, apricots and 

dried pineapple. Slowly bring to 

the boil. 

Cover with lid and very gently 

simmer for 5min. Remove from 

the heat and cool well before 

stirring in the beaten egg. 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C 

on bake. Line a slice tin (about 

20cm x 33cm) with non-stick 

baking paper. 

Combine the pumpkin seeds, 

sunflower seeds, coconut, 

wholegrain oats, flour, cinnamon 

and nutmeg in a medium-sized 

bowl and mix well. 

Tip the dry ingredients into 

the saucepan containing the 

fruits and stir to mix. This is 

quite a stiff mixture. Tip into the 

lined slice tin. Spread out evenly 

over base of the tin with the back 

of a spoon or wet hands (mixture 

does not stick to wet hands). It is 

important the mixture is pressed 

down firmly into the tin. 

Bake in the preheated oven for 

30-35min until set and lightly 

golden. Do not overcook. 

Remove from the oven and 

allow to cool completely in 

the tin. Leave overnight before 

slicing, if time permits. 

Using the baking paper edges, 

lift the slice from the tin and 

place on a chopping board. 

Cut into squares or oblongs as 

desired. 

Black rice steam cake 

Serves 8 

Ingredients 

200g butter 

250g black glutinous rice flour 

6 large eggs 

250g (generous cup) caster sugar 

½ tsp salt 

1 tsp baking powder 

2 Tbsp sweetened condensed 

milk 

½ tsp vanilla extract 

Directions 

You’ll need a cake tin and a 

steaming pan or basket large 

enough to hold it. Melt the butter 

and use a little to grease the 

inside of the cake tin well. Dust 

with just a little black flour to 

help stop the cake sticking. Start 

the water boiling underneath 

the steamer so it is ready for the 

cake. 

In a large bowl, whisk together 

the eggs, sugar and salt to get a 

frothy mixture with the sugar 

dissolved. Stir in the black 

glutinous rice flour and baking 

powder. 

Stirring as you go, gradually 

add the condensed milk, the 

vanilla extract and finally the 

melted butter. Keep stirring 

until the mixture is smooth and 

velvety. 

Pour into the cake tin and sit 

in the steaming basket. 

Wrap the lid with a clean 

tea towel – this will stop water 

dripping on to the cake and 

create a tight seal. 

Steam over a medium-low 

heat (making sure there is always 

water in the pan). How long it 

takes depends on the size and 

shape of your pan – between 

25-40min. 

Check every 5min or so 

towards the end of the cooking 

time. The top should be gently 

springy with not too much 

wobble below; then poke in a 

skewer to check the middle has 

a delicate crumb rather than raw 

batter. 

Remove from the steamer and 

leave to cool for 10min in the tin 

before turning out on to a rack to 

cool. Serve with strawberries.

SENIOR LIVING 

Kidney, bladder and 

urinary support 

A healthy urinary system is needed to 

filter and remove waste and excess fluid 

from the body. Each part of the urinary 

system (kidneys, bladder, ureters and 

urethra) works in harmony to drain urine 

from the kidneys and escort it out of the 

body. If the kidneys’ ability to filter the 

blood is seriously damaged by disease, 

wastes and excess fluid may build up in the 

body. The critical regulation of the body’s 

sodium, potassium and acid content is 

performed by the kidneys. The kidneys 

also produce hormones that affect the 

function of other organs. For example, 

a hormone produced by the kidneys 

stimulates red blood cell production. 

Other hormones produced by the kidneys 

help regulate blood pressure and control 

calcium metabolism. Urinary tract 

infections occur when germs enter the 

urinary tract and cause symptoms such 

as pain and/or burning during urination 

and more frequent need to urinate. These 

infections most often affect the bladder, 

but they sometimes spread to the kidneys, 

and they may cause fever and pain in your 

back. Not all kidney disease produces 

symptoms although some signs there may 

be a kidney problem are: puffiness around 

eyes, swelling of hands and feet, more 

frequent urination - particularly at night, 

difficult or painful urination, high blood 

pressure and blood in the urine. 

Nature’s Sunshine JP-X is a powerful 

all natural herbal formula that has been 

formulated to support the bladder, kidneys 

and provide relief from urinary infections. 

The herbs naturally support: improved 

digestion, liver function, increase 

circulation to promote healing, stimulate 

urine flow to flush out toxins, shrink 

swollen tissues and reduce inflammation, 

neutralise acidity, relieve pain and support 

sexual function. JP-X is recommended to 

help arthritis, cystitis, diabetes, diarrhea, 

dyspepsia, dysuria, edema, gallstones, 

gastritis, gout, incontinence, kidney 

infection/inflammation, kidney stones, 

liver problems, nephritis, prostatitis, 

rheumatism, urinary dysfunction, and 

urinary tract infection/inflammation and 

high blood pressure.

Collagen 

the body’s youth protein 

Collagen is the primary protein in the 

body. It is a major component of skin, 

hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, 

joint cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, 

and blood vessels. 

In fact collagen is the primary 

structural component for all tissue 

in the body, providing the strength 

and resilience associated with youth, 

beauty and wellness. The body’s natural 

collagen production decreases with 

age resulting in many signs of aging, 

such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament 

and tendon injuries and aching joints. 

Collagen supplementation is one of 

the most fundamental things a person 

can do to prevent premature aging and 

promote youthful vitality. 

NEOCELL are the industry leaders 

in research on collagen supplementation. 

Through advanced research they have 

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and 

effectively reduce its molecular weight this 

improving the absorption of collagen into 

the blood stream by over 90%. 

A clinical study on NEOCELL 

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to 

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%, 

with 92% of test subjects experiencing 

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing 

visible improvements within two weeks. 

Collagen supplementation provides 

the nutrients necessary to support the 

body’s collagen supply. It can help reduce 

fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin 

elasticity, support building of strong bones 

and teeth, strengthen the nails and hair, 

and is vital for muscle growth, It also 

assists weight loss by helping burn fat 

for energy, promotes wound healing by 

supporting the regeneration of healthy 

tissue as well as help support overall 

health. 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN and further 

information is available from the 

Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Are you struggling with the heat of 

Summer or wanting to get organised for 

Winter? With the ever changing weather 

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility 

of being able to heat and cool which is an 

advantage no other appliance can offer. This 

represents great value for your investment 

as you can use it all year round. The team 

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you 

cool this Summer either at home or work. 

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services 

all the leading brands including Panasonic, 

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means 

our team can show you which system and 

brand will best suit your needs. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the 1st of 

July deadline. Inadequate heating and 

ventilation can lead to mould growth and 

dampness in your property, leading to 

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy 

living environment. Providing a fixed 

heater with a higher heat output and lower 

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable 

your tenants to heat the area effectively. 

It will also discourage them from using 

unflued gas heaters which can make a 

house damp and mouldy. 

It is important to remember, when 

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover the installation 

and consumers could be responsible for 

any repair or damage caused to the system 

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s 

five-star installation guarantee ensures 

correct installation, and a demonstration 

so customers have an understanding on 

how it will best meet their needs. 

For a free in home consultation, call 

Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our 

showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd, 

Waltham, Christchurch. 

The importance 

of air quality 

The quality of the air we breathe affects our 

health and ability to perform. We breathe 

in and out approximately 20,000 litres of 

air every day. It is therefore very important 

to ensure good air quality indoors through 

adequate ventilation. Ventilation is the 

process of air exchange to provide the 

necessary air quality that meets the needs 

of the occupants for clean, fresh air. Low 

oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes 

stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel 

drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like 

a high content of dust and tobacco smoke 

are harmful and can cause various diseases. 

Even bad smells can cause discomfort or 

irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s 

easy to open windows for cross ventilation, 

however as winter approaches, we start to 

shut up out houses to trap in the heat and 

as a result, air quality can decline. 

Ventilation includes both the exchange 

of air to the outside as well as circulation 

of air within the building. It is one of the 

most important factors for maintaining 

acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. 

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered 

and warmed air in winter creates a healthy 

environment in which to live and work. In 

case of poor or insufficient air intake from 

outside, the oxygen content decreases, 

humidity and dustiness levels increase. If 

exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is 

not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity 

and harmful substances are not removed. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact 

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can 

calculate the required air exchange for your 

building requirement. Smooth-Air offers 

a wide range of ventilation equipment, 

from air vents to ducting for fans, for both 

the commercial and domestic markets. 

They have an extensive range of fans and 

ventilation components in-store but they 

can also provide innovative solutions 

tailored to differing requirements.
