Proposed Merivale Mall
expansion meets opposition
• By Claire Booker
RUSHED AND not needed.
Those are the key messages
coming out of a decision to grant
resource consent which will see a
huge expansion of Merivale Mall.
Mall owner TEL Property
Nominees plans to turn the current
6308 sq m mall into an
11,833 sq m mall, with a threelevel
car park and 24 two-storey
homes included in the project.
But residents are not happy.
Says
Merivale Precinct
Society
president Chris
Aynsley: “I
think the decision
has been
rushed.
“I think
Chris Aynsley
the people of
Merivale and
Christchurch
should’ve had the benefit of being
able to lend their opinion and
have some robust discussion
without this thing being rubberstamped
in a way that wasn’t very
democratic.”
Mr Aynsley disputed the view
of the city council hearings panels
which granted the resource
consent which said effects on the
community would be minor.

Another Elmwood Park plan opposed
• By Claire Booker
FURTHER controversy has
arisen over the future of
Elmwood Park.
The Old Boys Collegians
Cricket Club has had its lease
renewal approved, and will now
get the ball rolling on its new
$750,000 440 sq m pavilion.
Following residents recent
concerns around the Elmwood
Club’s proposed
bowling club
rebuild on the
park, the new
cricket pavilion
has sparked more
uproar in the
David
Wakefield
community.
Merivale
resident Frank
Pipe is a regular park user, and
is concerned over the future of
the park. “Elmwood Park is for
the whole community, not just
sportspeople,” he said.
Mr Pipe says the changes
to the park and the proposed
new mall will impact the whole
community.
“If they’re not careful,
Merivale will lose its whole feel.”
Mr Pipe said.

Club secretary David
Wakefield said it is time for the
“dilapidated” facilities to be
upgraded.
“The combined development
of these new facilities will
enhance the community use
of the park for cricket players
and all other casual users of the
park,” he said.

generations to come and do the
park’s heritage status justice.”
But Mr Pipe disagrees, saying
the planned new pavilion will be
too large for the park.
“It’s not what the park is
designed for,” he said. “It was
there as a community park, but
now it’s dominated by sports.”
Mr Wakefield said city council
staff advised the community
board and members of the
public that the pavilion will be
the minimum size necessary to
meet the standards of a premier
cricket club.

The design and city council
consultation processes have
taken about two years, and
now the lease has been
renewed and the proposed
pavilion has been approved
by the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board.
Construction is set to start in
about six months.
The cricket club has also
proposed new training nets
at the park, which have been
quoted at about $100,000. They
will be fully enclosed to ensure
the safety of park users.
The community board has not
yet approved the installation of
the nets and has requested city
council staff arrange a meeting
with nearby residents and the
cricket club to discuss the scale
and utilisation of the practice
nets and functionality of the
pavilion.
The club hopes the pavilion
is completed before the 2020/21
season begins in October next
year.
In Brief
WAIRAKEI RD CRASH
No one was injured in a crash
on Wairakei Rd involving a car
and a bus on Friday. The crash
happened at the intersection
of Wairakei and Idris Rds, and
blocked the southbound lane.
BUS SHELTER
A new bus shelter will be put in
at the existing bus stop outside
102 Straven Rd in Fendalton.
The shelter is needed because
64 people board buses at the
stop, which is located near
Christchurch Boys’ High School,
on an average weekday. The
shelter was approved by the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board.
SUPERMARKET TROLLEYS
It has now become easier to
report abandoned supermarket
trolleys. The city council Snap
Send Solve app has a special
section for trolleys, enabling
residents to let stores know where
their trolleys have been dumped.
PARKING RESTRICTIONS
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
has approved no stopping
restrictions and 120min parking
limits along Claridges Rd in
Casebrook. They will improve
visibility and general safety along
the road.

Bowing out after 300,000-plus haircuts
• By Claire Booker
WHEN JOHN Thompson was
21, he dreamed of becoming a
hairdresser. Now 50 years later,
with more than 300,000 hair
cuts under his belt, the Redwood
resident still loves it.
But his business on Coppell Pl
in Hoon Hay will close its doors
for good at the end of the month.
The barber shop has been
Mr Thompson’s second home
since 1969, but it’s time to put
the clippers down and the capes
away and enjoy his retirement.
His loyal clients will miss his
friendly nature.
A client of 50 years, Jack
Jordan, 88, said: “He’s just a
damn nice guy.
“A couple of times when I was
crook, or I’d been to the hospital,
he’d come to my house and cut it
for the same price,” he said.
The lease on the building Mr
Thompson has occupied for the
past 50 years has expired, and he
wasn’t given the opportunity to
renew it.
He said when he was first given
the news that he had to be out of
the building within a month, he
was shocked, but said that’s just
the way things go.
The 71-year-old will now retire
after 54 years as a barber.
The barber shop Mr Thompson
occupies was where his hair
was cut as a child, and when he

HUNTER
turned 21, he bought the business
and hasn’t looked back since.
“I remember coming home
from school one day and saying
[to his father] I think I want to be
a hairdresser,” he said.
In September, he would have
marked his 50th year of owning
the business, but he will have to
close the doors just a few days
before the anniversary.
The red leather barber’s chairs
in the shop have been around
since 1956, and Mr Thompson
said he will sell them once the
business closes. Otherwise, his
house will become too cluttered.
In the antique leather chairs,
he has seen many boys argue
with their mum about the length
of hair they want.
“A boy would get shorter
than he wanted, but not as
short as mum was hoping,” Mr
Thompson said.
He’s seen it all in his years of
hairdressing, from short to very
long, and the mullets in between.

Thompson

Gordon, who
has been his
client for 50
years, a bit
of a tidy up
before he

doors at the

cuts his
nephew’s
hair in the
kitchen of
his home
about 25
years ago.
Mr Jordan his longest-serving
client and has been getting
his hair cut there before Mr
Thompson owned the shop.
He said the place “hasn’t
changed a hell of a lot” over the
years.
He never has to tell Mr
Thompson what he wants,
because his hairstyle never
changes.
“I’ll never find anyone like this
will I,” Mr Jordan said.
Mr Thompson is upset he was
given such short notice to close
the business.
“Going quickly doesn’t give me
time to thank them [clients] all,”
he said.
Mr Thompson will miss
meeting people and the
rewarding feeling of people
bringing their grandchildren
in for a trim so he can cut three
generations of hair.
“They’re more than just
customers,” he said.
Mr Thompson will finish
his last hair cut at the shop on
August 29.

Max takes on the world
at economics Olympiad
MAX SURVEYOR fought off
fierce competition to finish third
at the International Economics
Olympiad in St Petersburg,
Russia.
Max, who lives in Fendalton,
is in his final year at Christ’s
College. The 17-year-old was the
only secondary school student
in the five-strong New Zealand
team.
They competed
against 29 countries
at the event and
answered questions
on financial literacy,
economics and a
business case study.
Max received
the third-highest
individual score and
the New Zealand
team finished
seventh.
“When I first
arrived at the
Olympiad, I realised
most people
there had graduated and were
studying at business colleges.
I was worried I was going to
embarrass myself so each night
after dinner I would read over
my textbooks until 3am,” he
said.
“Economics is not an exact
science and this is why I love it.
Max Surveyor
It’s both maths and art. While its
basis is in mathematics, the fact
that things aren’t so clear-cut
leaves room for you to creatively
use the models to explain the
problems that are thrown in
front of you. I also like politics,
and between politics and
economics, you can pretty much
explain how most of the world
works.”
Christ’s College
head of commerce
William Bell said
Max naturally
picks up concepts
related to economics
and works hard
to improve his
understanding.
Max is now
applying to schools
in the United
States and United
Kingdom.
“Ideally I would
eventually like to
study philosophy,
politics and economics at Oxford
University. I find it funny how
some boys seem to have plans
for their entire future down to
the exact firm they would like
to work for. All I know is that I
would loosely like to work in the
fields of finance, politics or law,”
Max said.

Shirley Rd bus stop plan
given nod of approval
• By Matt Slaughter
A PLAN to upgrade a Shirley Rd
bus stop has been approved.
The Papanui-Innes
Community Board greenlighted
the plan, which will
involve the extension of the
existing bus stop outside Shirley
Intermediate School and the
construction of a new bus
shelter beside it to make room
for two buses at a time.
Innes Ward city councillor
Pauline Cotter said she hopes
the upgrades will be completed
by December.
Pegasus Post reported last
month the board delayed
approving the plan and asked if
more space could be created to
move the bus stop and shelter
back to make the facilities
accessible for wheelchair users
and people with mobility issues.
Board members originally
asked if a Ministry of
Education-owned berm space
outside the school could be
used to create the extra room.
But Cr Cotter said this was no
longer necessary as an extra
50cm of space would be
created using city councilowned
land.
Cr Cotter said the board
has taken about five months
to come up with a plan which
satisfied it. She is pleased it has
now been finalised and said the
wait has been worth it to ensure
the extended bus stop and new
shelter will cater for all bus
users.
“I think that it’s going to
look really good for Shirley to
have that, you know, improved,
more comfortable, more fit-forpurpose
shelter and bus stop
. . . there’s some seating and then
there’s room also for wheelchairs
or pushchairs,” she said.
“We want to really encourage
people to use these buses and
one of the ways to do that
is for council to step up and
address our infrastructure

manager of public transport
strategy, planning and
marketing Edward Wright
said the new stop will help
achieve the goal of ECan’s
regional public transport plan
to increase the frequency of bus
services.
“The Palms is a key suburban
hub on our bus network. The
upgrades to this stop will be
appreciated by the many people
who use it every day. It is the
main stop at The Palms for the
Orange Line travelling towards
the city centre, and the Orbiter
travelling towards Northlands.
The Orbiter and Orange Line
are already high-frequency bus

Kirsty Nixon
Horizons
24 August - 18 September 2019
Like portals to paradise, Kirsty Nixon’s large-scale paintings invite the viewer to
pull back the ‘fringes’ of our native flora to reveal quintessentially New Zealand
landscapes hidden in behind. Framed by the structural forms of our native
foliage, like cabbage tree leaves or nectar-laden flax flowers, and almost always
with a native bird or two in attendance, unfolding before your eyes could be
an endless coastline, a deep, green cove or perhaps even a glimpse of the far
horizon.
Kirsty is repeatedly drawn to the New Zealand landscape
in its various guises and while on holiday at the bird
sanctuary island Tiritiri Matangi recently she experienced
a sense of utter peace while watching the bellbirds
flitting about the feeders and hearing their hypnotic song.
Returning home, she became keenly aware of the absence
of native birdsong and thus her new works pay tribute to
the ways in which the melodic voices of our native birds
have the ability to enrich our lives as we navigate daily life.
Based in Auckland, Kirsty has been painting full-time
since 1997, initially in the medium of watercolour but
now having found her home in the freedom and impact of
acrylic.

House of Travel couple
bring home bag full
of windsurfing trophies
• By Jess Gibson
THE MERIVALE House of
Travel owners have returned
from their trip to Hawaii with
extra luggage.
Annie Crombie, 51, and
husband Terry Beentjes, 53,
each bagged two trophies at
the US Slalom Windsurfing
Nationals in Maui from July
27-29.
Crombie won the sport section
and was third in the women’s
competition, while Beentjes
was second in both the semi-pro
and men’s 40-59 racing events.
“We’re stoked. We didn’t have
any expectations to be on the
podium,” Crombie said.
Both took part in 24 races
over the three-day event and
had only trained for one week in
the lead-up to the competition.
“We came out of winter and
haven’t windsurfed since February
so it was a hard seven days.
I got blisters all over my hands
and feet,” Crombie said.
She said they stayed fit before
heading over by mountain biking
and doing yoga.
Beentjes almost opted out of
competing after he broke his
thumb the day after the flights
were booked.
“He was only three weeks
out of his plaster when he competed.
Once we got up there the

vibe of the event got a hold of
him,” Crombie said.
The couple had more than
just trophies to celebrate during
the prize-giving – it was on the
same day as their 31st wedding
anniversary.
Crombie and Beentjes have
both been windsurfing since the
early 90s and have competed
in many competitions in New
Zealand and overseas.
Crombie said their two
teenage daughters, Kate and
Emma, have been all “around
the world to windy places.”

Pharmacy offers free prescriptions
plus other valuable services
The large Pharmacy sign can be
seen from Memorial Avenue.
The pharmacists at Healthworks Pharmacy, on the corner
of Memorial Avenue and Ilam Road, say there is a number
of ways customers can qualify for free prescriptions and
they are happy to advise on how they can get these.
They include free prescriptions after 20 items per year
have been dispensed, which applies to the whole family,
and free prescriptions for under-13 year-olds,
“We also send free text reminders to our customers
when their next repeat prescription is due,” says pharmacy
owner Carolyn Oakley Brown. “They just need to text back
‘Yes’, and their prescription will be renewed.”
The pharmacy offers catalogue specials four times a year,
and customers that sign up to their Facebook page will
see other special promotional offers on there too, Carolyn
says.
Healthworks also offers medico packing for prescription
medicines, which makes it easy for people to see what
meds they need to take and at what time of the day.
Another valuable service the pharmacists offer, which
can be especially helpful for people unsure about what
their medications are for, or when and how to take complex
medicine regimes, is the free, one-on-one meeting between
pharmacist and customer.
“We work in conjunction with their doctor, and we
explain everything about the customer’s prescription, how
it works for them, and make sure everything is correct. It’s
great for people who are on several medications,” Carolyn
says.
Healthworks Pharmacy in Ilam has two full-time
pharmacists, two pharmacy interns, three technicians,
who dispense the prescriptions, and one pharmacy retail
assistant.
Currently located behind the Ilam Medical Centre,
the pharmacy, along with the medical centre, will be
accommodated in a brand-new building due to be
constructed on the same site, with the work expected to
start in 2020.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Superior new magnesium
offers more health benefits!
Magnesium deficiency is widespread with
researchers estimating up to 90% are not
receiving adequate magnesium in their diet.
According to medical researcher Dr. James
DiNicolantonio magnesium deficiency
increases the risk of numerous types of
cardiovascular and other diseases, costing
nations around the world an incalculable
amount of healthcare costs and suffering, and
should be considered a public health crisis.
Some of the typical signs of a magnesium
deficiency are: muscle cramps – especially
in the legs, muscle spasms and twitches,
fatigue, high blood pressure, poor
circulation, sore – heavy or uncomfortable
legs, irregular heart-beat, muscle and back
pain, insomnia, headaches, migraines and
anxiety. Sub-optimal magnesium levels are
also associated with many diseases including
diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s,
cardiovascular, ADHD and kidney.
There are many popular magnesium
supplements on the market, however most
use low cost sources of magnesium that are
also poorly absorbed offering little benefit.
Seeing the serious impact on health that
low magnesium levels are having a New
Zealand company “Biosphere Nutrition”
have developed a new magnesium that offers
superior absorption and more health benefits
compared to most other products available.
Biosphere Magnesium has been created to
be the cleanest, most bioavailable magnesium
supplement available. It combines three
types of the most bioavailable forms of
magnesium to create the ideal dose with
optimal absorption. Each serving provides
a therapeutic dose of 400mg elemental
magnesium to help people maintain
optimum magnesium levels. It is also easy
to take as it comes as a great tasting, easy to
mix powder that is also free of binders, fillers
and artificial ingredients. It is flavoured with
a natural lemon flavour and sweetened with
natural stevia and monk fruit extracts and
coloured with a dash of turmeric.
Magnesium Citrate is the first of the three
magnesium’s. Biosphere have used a natural
marine based magnesium citrate as it has a
great absorption rate and mixes well with
water.
Next is Magnesium Lyscinate Glycinate
Chelate a stable magnesium designed to be
the most bioavailable possible as well as easy
on the stomach.
The last is Di Magnesium Malate a
fantastic form of magnesium for people
suffering from fatigue, since malic acid is
a vital component of enzymes that play
a key role in ATP synthesis and energy
production.
Optimal magnesium levels have been
shown to: Improve Energy, Improve
Sleep, Normalise Blood Pressure, Control
Inflammation, Reduce Pain, Regulate Blood
Sugar, Stop Cramping, Support Normal
Nerve and Muscle Function, Support Healthy
Bones and Help Maintain Good Health.
Biosphere Magnesium and further more
detailed information is available from
the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview
Road, New Brighton, and Phone: 388-5757.
We are always happy to help you!

Baby gear to hire or buy
The arrival of a new baby in the family is exciting for
everyone, and it’s a time when special things are
needed to keep baby safe, comfortable and happy.
Offering a wide selection of baby gear for hire and sale, Baby on
the Move in Wairakei Road is the specialty store where parents and
grandparents will find quality products for baby, right from birth,
including infant capsules for babies up to six months old, car seats,
portacots, regular cots, buggies and toys.
The child restraints that are hired are well-known brands and
are well-maintained, with every customer receiving personalised
service at Baby on the Move.
As qualified child restraint technicians, business owner Jane and
her two staff members will advise on hiring the correct capsule or
car seat for the type of car and the customer’s lifestyle, explain how
to use it, and fit it into the vehicle.
Correct installation of the car seat is vital, while having enough
leg-room for the front-seat passenger is also important, Jane says.
“Our short-term car-seat hire is popular with grandparents, who
have family visiting,” she says, “and they often pick up their hired
seat on their way to the airport. We have many repeat customers
who use this service and we get good feedback on it.
“Installation of carseats hired or purchased from Baby On The
Move is always free,” Jane adds.
Baby on the Move was established in New Zealand more than 20
years ago, and the Wairakei Road store is one of two in Christchurch.
It is located at 515 Wairakei Road, close to Roydvale Avenue.
Phone 960 9752.

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of
dampness in
your house
The facts about
Home Ventilation
Balanced Pressure
vs Positive Pressure
Now with the colder and wetter weather
on its way, home owners are focusing on
ways to make their homes comfortable,
warm and healthy for their families
throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue
that affects many of our older properties
which suffer from poor, or no, insulation.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests
have shown that up to 40 litres of water
can rise from the ground and enter a
house every day, leading to mildew, mould,
condensation and musty smells. Moulds
can produce various allergic reactions
and the frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The
team understands the problems caused
by rising damp and are there to help.
They will come to your damp home
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam
concrete under your timber floored home.
Specially adapted for our New Zealand
conditions and applications it provides a
layer of protection against rising moisture.
An unexpected benefit that the team at
Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed
recently, is that many owners of properties
which had underfloor foam concrete
installed, reported that it also provided
protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd now for your free, no obligation
quote and complimentary appraisal of
your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone
03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more
information.
Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need
to be suitably ventilated, either with
opening windows or forced ventilation.
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this
provision is to safeguard people from
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of
fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced,
or mechanical, ventilation over opening
windows, including warmth, security,
reduction of outside noises and reduction
of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in
from outside via the roof space and force
the stale air out through gaps around
windows and doors. The incoming air
from these systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm in winter or
cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced
pressure’ system. It extracts air from the
house and at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air pass through
a heat exchanger, which warms incoming
air in winter and cools in summer if air
conditioning is being used. This means that
up to 80% of the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating
or cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure
ventilation systems have been considerably
more expensive than traditional
positive pressure systems. However,
with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a
HEX390 balanced pressure system
can be installed for a similar price as
a traditional positive pressure system.
