THE PLEASANT Point
Yacht Club has opened its
new clubrooms.
Since the September 4,
2010, earthquake destroyed
the club’s old headquarters,
it has been operating out of
five shipping containers in
South New Brighton Park,
with no power, showers,

The new facility sits in the
same location, and although
the club was not able to build
its ideal facility due to a lack
of funds, it purchased two
relocatable buildings from

Shirley 108yo’s secret to long life
• By Claire Booker
NINA BROWN has never
smoked or drank and loves her
greens.
And last week, she celebrated
her 108th birthday.
Nina, who is understood to
be the oldest person in New
Zealand, had a beaming smile
as she cut her birthday cake at
Windsorcare Retirement Village
in Shirley.
She has been a passionate
“greenie” all her life, her nephew
Murray Brown said.
“Nina was way green before
green was cool. When she
washed her dishes, she would
use a tub of water and Sunlight
soap. Once the dishes were
clean, she would use the soapy
water to keep the aphids off her
roses,” he said.
Nina has never had any health
issues, other than a couple of
sprained ankles from Scottish
Country Dancing which she did
until she was 90, and a double
hip replacement four years ago.
She also never married.
She would tell the staff at the
retirement village: “I’m going to
be the oldest New Zealander one
day.”
Nina studied to be a teacher
when she was 16 and received a
Master of Arts in english from
Canterbury University.
She worked as a teacher in
England in the 1930s, until she
was sent home when World War
2 broke out.
“Her passions were teaching
and travelling,” Mr Brown said.
When she arrived back
in New Zealand, she taught
students throughout the war,
and although her speciality was
english, the shortage of teachers
saw her teaching a range of
different subjects, including

woodwork. Nina never drank
alcohol, but Mr Brown said she
always raved about his custard
which had a healthy dash of
brandy in it.
At her party yesterday,
Nina enjoyed a cup of tea and
birthday cake with some friends
and received a hand-written
card from Prime Minister
Jacinda Arden, and cards from
Lianne Dalziel, the Queen and
Government House – which she
read without any assistance.
Meanwhile, New Zealand’s
oldest man, Ron Hermanns,
who also lives in Christchurch,
will celebrate his 108th birthday
this week.
In Brief
SPEED SIGN REQUEST
Advice has been sought about the
possibility of installing flashing
speed signs on Gayhurst Rd
north of the Gayhurst Bridge in
Dallington. The Coastal-Burwood
Community Board raised the
idea at its last meeting as a way
to try and stop people driving
dangerously on the road.
COMMUNITY GRANTS
The Coastal-Burwood
Community Board has granted
$4000 to the Avon Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust towards the
Bexley Reserve Enhancement
Project. Eastern Community
Sport and Recreation Inc
received $8000 towards the
Eastern Community Activator
programme wages and
$6000 towards its Early Birds
Programme co-ordinator wages.
The grants came from the board’s
Discretionary Response Fund.
FAMILY FUN DAY
The Salvation Army will be
holding a family fun day in
Riccarton this Saturday. The
Salvation Army band will be

also be sale items in the store. The
event will be held at the Salvation

Our Dogs, Ourselves
The Story of a Singular Bond by
Alexandra Horowitz
We keep dogs and are kept by them. We love dogs and (we
assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys,
shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their
health. The story of humans and dogs is thousands of years old but
is far from understood. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz
explores all aspects of this unique and complex interspecies pairing.
As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals
the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs. We
celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. Despite
our deep emotional relationships with dogs, legally they are property
to be bought, sold, abandoned, or euthanized as we wish. Even the
way we speak to our dogs is at once perplexing and delightful.
In thirteen thoughtful and charming chapters, Our Dogs, Ourselves
affirms our profound affection for this most charismatic of animals
and opens our eyes to the companions at our sides as never before.
Native Son
The Writer’s Memoir by Witi Ihimaera
The revealing sequel to the award-winning memoir Maori Boy.
This is the second volume of memoir by this remarkable Maori
writer and of the living myths that inspired him at the beginning of
his career. Look at him, the young man on the cover. The year is
1972, he is 28, his first book is about to be published, and he has
every reason to kick up his heels.
But behind that joyful smile, and the image of a writer footing it in
the Pakeha world, there is another narrative, one that Witi has not
told before. The story of a native son, struggling to find a place, a
voice and an identity, and to put a secret past to rest. This sequel
to his award-winning memoir picks up where Maori Boy stopped,
following Witi through his triumphs and failures at school and
university, to experimenting sexually, searching for love and purpose
and to becoming our first Maori novelist.
Ian McKellen: The Biography
by Garry O’Connor
The intimate and definitive biography of Ian McKellen, theatrical
knight and a national treasure.
Few actors achieve in their lifetime what Sir Ian McKellen has.
A repertoire of vast commercial success coupled with critically
acclaimed and authoritative Shakespearian roles. A man whose
gargantuan personality and varied achievements inspire both
admiration and affection. McKellen has been feted and admired
in every country across the globe, and has been knighted by, and
received the Companionship of Honour from Queen Elizabeth II. He
is an icon of, and ardent campaigner in, the cause for LGBT rights.
Many of us know of McKellen through his depiction of Gandalf in
LORD OF THE RINGS. Garry O’Connor’s definitive biography reveals
the man behind McKellen the actor. The inside story of the person
himself: a constantly developing drama and a work in progress. Yet
Garry O’Connor pulls no punches: some of his revelations may be
controversial to his fans, even explosive, given McKellen’s constant
ability to shock and surprise.
“It’s all about celebrating really
good, tasty food that just
happens to be meat-free.”

Bid to mitigate corridor congestion
• By Claire Booker
BUS LANES may be prioritised
to alleviate congestion from a
motorway extension being built
through St Albans.
The Northern Motorway is
being extended through to QEII
Drive and Cranford St and when
completed will effectively slice
St Albans in half. It will also
add an extra
48,000 vehicles
a day.
Residents
have tried
to fight the
extension, but
all that can be
Mark Wilson
done now is
to find ways
to alleviate
the amount of traffic coming
through the suburb.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
and Papanui-Innes community
boards listened to emotional
and angry residents over
the proposal at a special meeting
a fortnight ago. Then four days
later they made their recommendations
and said prioritising
bus use will help. They said this
should take precedence over
installing a clearway. A clearway
is a no stopping area that allows
traffic to flow more freely.
Cranford St was planned to
FLOW: The proposed clearways on Cranford St may be
used for public transport to help mitigate the effects of the
Christchurch Northern Corridor through St Albans.
be used as a clearway once the
extension opens next year. But
with the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote and Papanui-Innes
community boards recommendation,
this means the bus lane
could take priority.
The boards also asked city
council staff to look at park and
ride options near QEII Drive.
The decision will now go to
the city council at its meeting on
Thursday.
Papanui-Innes board member
and city councillor Mike Davidson
said the boards were never
going to be able to create a perfect
outcome for the community
“So what we’re trying to
achieve is the best outcome with
the limited ability we do have.
No one wants the motorway, if
we had made a decision today
on whether we should have done
a motorway, it would have never
happened,” he said.
All board members apart from
Linwood-Central board member
and city councillor Yani
Johanson voted in favour of the
‘If we had made a
decision today on
whether we should
have done a motorway,
it would never have
happened’
– Mike Davidson
recommendations.
“I’m really concerned that the
plan is actually going to create a
lot of problems on other streets,”
Cr Johanson said.
Cr Johanson thinks the
improvements are not the right
approach and wasn’t convinced
Environment Canterbury would
fund the proposed public transport
lanes on Cranford St.
“I can’t see any likelihood that
Ecan would have the money
to be able to fund more public
transport,” he said.
St Albans resident Mark
Wilson said overall he is feeling
good about the recommendations.
“They will prepare the road
for more traffic, but they won’t
allow that traffic to have two or
four lanes flow on. That’s the
minimum really that we’ve been
going on about. I think it’s a
good decision,” he said.
SOLUTION: Parking
restrictions have been
approved to stop congestion
in streets surrounding the
shared Shirley Boys’ High and
Avonside Girls’ High campus.
New measures
will be analysed
•From page 1
Cr Livingstone said the school
is in the busy Queen Elizabeth II
Park area, with the Christchurch
School of Gymnastics and Taiora:
QEII Recreation Sport Centre on
site.
“If people can’t get on-site
parking at those three places,
then you’ve got pressure on the
surrounding streets.”
He said the effectiveness of
the measures approved will be
analysed and could be increased if
parking issues continue.
Reducing congestion has
been a priority for the schools
recently.
In July, three new bus stops
were approved on Bridge St,
Breezes Rd and Avondale Rd to
reduce the number of students
and parents driving to school.

MAXIMISE
THE PROFIT FROM YOUR
'AS IS, WHERE IS' ASSET
It would seem that the current real estate market
in Christchurch is rife with ‘As Is, Where Is’ experts, and
private property speculators whose clear intention is to make
substantial profit, offering to pay vendors the least they can,
without the opportunity for home owners to test the entire
market in a competitive environment.
With over 600 ‘As Is, Uninsured’ sales to our name, Harcourts gold
leads the way across Canterbury in volume and experience when
it comes to marketing earthquake damaged homes. If you are
considering selling an ‘As Is’ property, we would embrace the
opportunity to empower you with the right knowledge to allow you
to make an educated and informed decision regarding the future of
your property.
Selling damaged properties requires specialist skills and expertise.
Unique to the post-earthquake Christchurch real estate market,
these transactions involve the selling of properties where the owner
has cash settled EQC and private insurance claims, and is retaining
these funds rather than carrying out earthquake repairs. Owners
may choose to take this option for a variety of reasons, and it does
present purchasers with an opportunity to secure property below
current market insured values. Over the past few years, the sale and
purchase of ‘As Is, Uninsured’ homes has become commonplace,
with a broad cross-section of purchasers now active in this market.
When it comes to selling these homes, it is important to follow
correct procedures to ensure that you, as an owner, are not left
legally or financially exposed. The only way to genuinely determine
the true market value of a property is to place all interested parties
in a competitive environment, using our well-honed marketing
template and extensive database of buyers.
For further information, contact one of our coastal offices at
Parklands or New Brighton today.

Reserves benefit from planting events
COMMUNITY volunteers
have helped plant at least
29,000 shrubs and trees in
Christchurch parks and reserves
in the past year.
Planting days have taken
place in areas including the Port
Hills, Halswell Quarry Park and
Travis Wetland Nature Heritage
Park.
This work has a value of about
$1.5 million.
The work has been carried
out through the city council’s
community partnership programme
which aims to boost
community-led action in the
city’s green spaces.
It includes running volunteer
planting days, clean-ups, and
working with schools to encourage
kids to help improve their
local parks and waterways.
The programme is now in its
second year of operation and
receives an annual grant from
the Community Resilience Fund
for two years.
Recognising the work of local
volunteers is timely because this
week is the 50th anniversary of
conservation week – a national
celebration that encourages
people to get involved in nature
and help take care of it.
There were more than 38,000
volunteer hours recorded
across all city council parks
GROWING: Volunteers like this group at Travis Wetland have
helped plant 29,000 shrubs and trees in the last financial year.
programmes in the last financial
year, a 27 per cent increase on
the previous year.
This represents 29,000 plants
and trees put into the ground,
an outcome that would normally
cost between $1.1 million
and $1.5 million to achieve.
City council manager of
parks, programmes and
partnerships Kate Russell said
the fund is a great example of
what can be achieved when
the city council is able to boost
community involvement and
volunteering.
“The numbers only tell part of
the story, the significance of the
stories and goodwill generated
can’t be overestimated. It really
nurtures active citizenship. The
feelings of guardianship that
have been generated through
this work are where the true
value lie.
“The programme caters for
people who want to do one-off
service in their community
‘The feelings of
guardianship that have
been generated through
this work are where the
true values lie’
parks as well as those who
see themselves as longer term
guardians of their parks and
who give hundreds of voluntary
hours individually each year.”
As word spreads, staff are
receiving a steadily increasing
number of inquiries about
projects that can be supported
through the fund, she said.
In 2018, a total of 62 events
took place, including 20 that
were one-off events and more
than 40 that have sparked an
ongoing commitment with multiple
events over the year and
more planned in the future.
Ms Russell believes the numbers
will grow even more when
a city-wide volunteer database
system is introduced and figures
can be more accurately reported.
The community partnership
programme is managed by a
co-ordinator and a full-time
schools support field ranger.
With current funding coming
to an end by the end of 2020,
the city council’s parks team is
exploring ways to create a more
permanent programme, she said.
Thieves target
garden items
in Woolston
• By Jess Gibson
IT APPEARS there are thieves in
Woolston with a green thumb and
sticky fingers.
A concrete birdbath, several
planter boxes and urns have gone
missing from properties in the
suburb over the past month.
Resident Freya Oakley posted on
the Woolston Community United
page recently, warning residents to
keep an eye out for thieves stealing
garden equipment from the
front of properties. She said both
her neighbours on Wildberry St
have had items stolen from their
gardens.
“[The planter boxes] are very
heavy so at least two people are
working together,” the post said.
Miss Oakley told Pegasus Post a
parcel also went missing from her
doorstep.
Another resident commented
on her post: “It could be the same
b*****ds that took my neighbour’s
concrete birdbath. Hers went missing
one night and it’s so heavy.”

Life member
cuts ribbon
to new facility
•From page 1
Said club member Nigel
Humphreys: “They have been reconfigured
into a great facility.”
A number of club members
and friends were at the opening.
People checked out the
facilities in the second building
and were shown around by
committee members.
The ribbon-cutting at the front
steps was carried out by club life
member Ray O’Brien, marking
the new clubrooms officially
open.
Mr O’Brien and his wife Nola
flew down from Whangarei
especially for the opening.
This was followed by an
opening day race.
Mr Humphreys said: “All the
systems worked well in the new
clubrooms with no reports of
issues and our expansive kitchen
was put through a good test also,
proving the layout was up to the
task. The only thing was coming
to grips with how some of the
new appliances worked.”
“We still have a few things
to finish and some final
fundraising to do, but we look
forward to the coming season
with great anticipation.”
Dedication to school breakfasts recognised
• By Claire Booker
NORTHCOTE community
breakfast volunteers have
been recognised for their
dedication with an ‘unsung
heroes’ award.
Charlotte Clark and Angie
Durey from Neighbourhood
Links were runners-up in the
South Island Section of the
Unsung Hero Award for their
work with the breakfast club at
Northcote School.
At the club, students and their
families are provided with a
healthy breakfast of porridge, cereal,
toast, baked beans, yoghurt,
fruit and Milo.
“Charlotte’s porridge has
become quite famous, certainly
one of the favourites of breakfast
club. We like to do special
breakfasts for the last day of each
term, random pancake days and
we are excited to be planning
our second Christmas breakfast
again,” Miss Durey said.
Northcote School principal
Justin Perriam nominated the
women for the award, who have
been involved with the meal
since May 2018.
“We had identified a need
within the school community to
offer breakfast to some students
who were not having it at home.
It allows us to ensure that no
child needs to start the school
day hungry,” he said.
The women said the most
rewarding part of being involved
with the club is the smiles, hugs
and stories they are told daily.
“For us, the value of connection
with our community is the
biggest reward,” they said.
Miss Clark said the two
women were surprised to receive
the award.
“We both were very surprised.
But to be acknowledged and
appreciated by the children of
our community was probably the
tear jerker,” she said.
Miss Durey said receiving the
award was “huge.”
“I never thought I would
receive anything this special. I
certainly didn’t realise it meant
this much to the school and the
community. I am very grateful
to them for nominating us,” she
said.

About 30 per cent of students
at the school attend the club on a
regular basis.
“It also provides opportunities
for students and their families
to meet and connect with each
other in a welcoming, safe
environment.
“Everyone is welcome, even
if you’ve already had breakfast
at home. It’s about creating
a sense of community,” Mr
Perriam said.

Volunteer picks up skills
AFRICA SEEMED a world away
to Fil Jansons.
That was until he spent seven
months volunteering as a tradie
on board the world’s largest
civilian hospital ship earlier this
year.
The New Brighton resident
travelled to Guinea, West Africa,
to join the Mercy Ships technical
crew.
Mr Jansons believes tradies
are often hidden heroes, and on
the Mercy Ship they fill essential
roles that do not often come
to mind when people think of
hospital ships.
His work as an electronics
technician is vital to the Mercy
Ship functioning as a floating
first-world hospital in the developing
nations the charity serves.
Being on the ship benefited Mr
Jansons greatly.
“My days were never the same.
I had the opportunity to work
on variety of systems, machines
and equipment, ranging from
auto fire detection systems, fuel
purifiers, cranes, main distribution
switchboards, medical
air monitoring systems, many
marine electronics, and much
more. As a technician at home I
would need to work for several
different industries to gain that
sort of experience,” he said.
BENEFICIAL: Fil Jansons spent seven months volunteering as
a tradie for Mercy Ships on board the world’s largest civilian
hospital ship.
Mr Jansons was personally
impacted by the faith-based
charity’s mission to deliver free
essential surgery to West Africa
poor, as well as being challenged
professionally.
“The broad range of people
that I met on board was inspiring.
On the technical side, I
found more confidence in dealing
with machines and systems
I’d never handled before, and
was able to pass on what I knew
to other people.”
St Bede’s gets
its chapel back
A SEVEN-YEAR, $20 million
rebuild and refurbishment of
the St Bede’s College chapel is
complete.
Devastated by the 2011
earthquake, the chapel was
demolished. For seven years
a temporary chapel was used,
while funding was secured to
enable the rebuild. The campus
master plan was re-designed to
place the chapel at the forefront
of the school.
Rector Justin Boyle said the
chapel is the college’s most important
building.
“The return of the chapel is
a clear statement of who we
are and what we stand for, a
Catholic, Marist College, and we
welcome its return,” said Rector
Boyle.
“The chapel is the soul of our
school, connecting with our
newly-refurbished performing
arts centre and in keeping with
the historic buildings that dot
our grounds.
“These two wonderful new
buildings reflect our holistic
approach to education, supporting
boys to develop into wellrounded
men,” he said.
Wilkie & Bruce Architects
designed the new chapel in a collegiate
Gothic style to integrate
with the original 1920s buildings
of the campus.
“As well as looking like it’s
always been there, the new
building references the original
by incorporating restored
stained-glass windows, pews,
crucifix and the ornate carved
oak reredos from the old chapel.
“Each of the 12 stained-glass
windows tell their own story,
with the centrepiece being the
Matthew Paul Daly Memorial
Window, which reflects the
school’s origins and values in a
depiction of Mary and the teenage
Christ,” said architect and
certified heritage professional
Alec Bruce.
The chapel build was financed
by more than 400 donors, all
of whom were invited to the
chapel’s opening last week.
A total of $3.5 million was
required for the build, with community
donations coming from
the Society of Mary, the college’s
Board of Proprietors and the
College Foundation.
The Chapel of St Bede was
officially opened last week with a
mass by Bishop Paul Martin.

American dessert to top off Kiwi main
This well-known Florida
dessert can be made even
better with a box of fresh
New Zealand limes
Lime Pie
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
250g digestive biscuits, well
crushed
100g butter, melted
Filling
390g sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
1 tsp lime zest
½ cup fresh lime juice
Pinch of salt
300ml cream, whipped
Equipment
20cm pie dish
Directions
Heat the oven to 180 deg C.
Begin by crushing the biscuits
to a fine crumb.
Add the melted butter and mix
well so all the crumbs are coated
in the butter. Press firmly into
the pie dish covering the sides.
Bake for 15min. Remove and
cool.
To make the filling, mix the
condensed milk with the egg
yolks, lime juice and zest. Mix
thoroughly and pour into the
prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie for 15min or until
set. Remove from the oven and
cool completely.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours,
but preferably overnight.
When ready to serve,
traditionally it is covered with
cream or you can serve it
alongside if desired.
The pie is a great way to top
off a classic South Island main
with meat and three veg
Venison fillet
Serves 4
Ingredients
850g venison fillet
500ml extra virgin olive oil
2 sprigs rosemary
1/2 head cauliflower
1 litre cream
8 heads bok choi
100ml tamari or soy sauce
250g carrots
500g agria potatoes
2 litres beef stock
1 litre chicken stock
500ml red wine (pinot
noir)
Salt, butter and cooking oil
Directions
First cut the venison fillet into
four 200g portions and marinate
in olive oil and rosemary.
Overnight is best, but for at least
a couple of hours.
Put stock and red wine in a
pot and reduce until medium
thickness and sticky, should
have a deep meaty flavour. This
may take an hour or so of rapid
boiling/reduction.
Slice potatoes as thin as
possible and layer into a baking
dish with a light sprinkle of salt
every few layers.
Bring cream to a boil and pour
over potatoes, place in oven at
165 deg C for about one hour
or until golden and cooked
through.
This can be set aside and
reheated or served fresh.
Peel carrots, toss in olive oil
and season. These can cook in
the oven with the potatoes, and
should be golden and soft to the
bite when finished.
Boil cauliflower florets in salty
water with a dash of cream or
milk in the water to make it
cloudy.
Boil for 5-8min until soft, then
blitz in food processor with a
few spoons of butter and salt to
taste until smooth. This can be
easily reheated in a saucepan.
Sear venison in cooking oil in a
hot skillet then transfer to oven
for 5min Saute bok choi in a hot
pan and deglaze with tamari –
that should steam the bok choi
through and add a nice sticky
glaze. Serve cauliflower puree,
venison and jus (gravy) on one
plate and the sides to share are
served in separate bowls.
Serve with red wine vinegar on
the side to help cut through the
gaminess of the venison.

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
This term has been a wonderful celebration
of Marian’s Special Character and school
culture. When girls are involved in school
life, which is rich with celebrations and
traditions, we see improvements in student
learning, participation and wellbeing.
This term we had Feast Day, which is the
most anticipated religious event on the
Marian College calendar and includes
Mass, a house group singing competition,
talent quest and plenty of fun.
Our kapa haka team has combined with
brother school St Bede’s College to
produce a ‘super group’ which gave a
moving performance at the Secondary
Schools’ Kapa Haka Whakataetae
Regionals. For many, it was a ‘first time on
the stage’ experience.
We are also underway exploring our
school’s cultural narrative. As well as
relocating Marian College in 2023 and
all we represent, building a new school
involves weaving the history and story
of mana whenua into the fabric of our
buildings and environment.
On a recent staff only day, we traced the
journey of the school; key women, role
models from our past and shared stories
and memories of the school from its
beginning up to today. We look forward
to future work on our cultural narrative as
plans for our new school develop.
For the latest Marian news and information,
please check our website and follow us on
Facebook. Enjoy the read!

Rising Japanese rugby star, Hitomi Oka,
has enjoyed the International Rugby
Programme (IRP) so much, she is staying
on at Marian College.
“Both in terms of my rugby and my life
in general, I think I have become far more
resilient and self-driven,” Hitomi says.
“What I like best about Marian College is
that teachers and students are very kind and
welcoming to me.”
Marian College Principal Mary-Lou
Davidson says the IRP is an amazing
opportunity for students from all over
the world to come together for high
performance sport development.
“Our Marian students are exposed to the
opportunities sport at this level brings.
They make connections through the
enjoyment of playing sport, develop
manaakitanga and make long-lasting
friendships,” Mrs Davidson says.
Marian has partnered with St Bede’s
College to host the International Rugby
Programme (IRP) from 2019. The 17-yearold
high-performance programme makes
use of the latest technologies and practice.
International students participate in a

spoilt for
choice
Thai Takeaway taste the flavour
Thinking about tea and what to have on the
menu? Choose authentic Thai from Monthai
Takeaway! Customer reviews across social
media and online hospitality sites speak for
themselves – Generous food portions tops the
list, followed by consistency of taste and high
quality ingredients. Their service is always
friendly and accommodating.
Check out their diversified menu including
customer favourites such as Phad Thai chicken.
Curries galore with so many choices: green,
red, mussaman, penang and more. Other tasty
choices include crispy chicken with cashews,
pork wonton and curry puff entrees which are
both made fresh in-house. Don’t forget the stir
fried vegetables with chicken or beef and a satay
sauce. If you are in the mood for spice, try their
stir fried vegetables with basil and chilli, or
chicken and fried rice.
Have a look at their full menu on their website
or Facebook. All their meals are served mild,
but the chefs are very happy to spice things up
a bit if like spice, so don’t hesitate to ask when
ordering. Gluten free, no problem. Vegetarian
and vegan meals, they can accommodate.
Don’t see what you would like on the menu,
they will custom make your dish.
Monthai is a family run takeaway with
Chef Mesa and other family members behind
the mouth-watering dishes. Their dishes
have served patrons from Christchurch and
Wellington for more than 20 years.
Monthai is still located in their original
location in North New Brighton where they
opened in April 2010. Like so many other
business owners they had to bounce back after
the earthquake.
“We want to say a big thank you to all our
customers. They make every day worthwhile”,
says owner Neil Thornton.
There is plenty of parking at the rear of the
QEII Shopping Centre and the premises have
been totally refurbished.
Monthai Takeaway is just that, they specialise
in takeaway, but do have a few tables if you
would like to dine in.
Call Monthai Takeaway TODAY 388 0784 and
place your order for the freshest of ingredients
bought on a daily basis and experience a
mouthful of flavour.
Hours: Tuesday – Sunday 4.15pm - 9pm,
closed Monday.

Valley of tranquillity
25 Valley Road, Cashmere
Auction: Thursday, 3 October 2019, Unless Sold Prior
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 1 off-street park - Listing Number: BE193366
A private elevated location on Valley
Road this 1970’s architecturally designed
home by Lucking and Vial is waiting for
a new owner. On entering the front door
the first thing you notice is the light that
streams into the living rooms, together
with the popular exposed beams of that
era making you feel instantly at home.
Surrounded by native trees and shrubs
inviting the abundant bird life of Wood
Pigeons, Fantails and Bellbirds, and the
magnificent views, makes you feel like
you’re on holiday every day of the year.
This very spacious home literally has
many layers. A rumpus room and two
bedrooms on the lowest level, ideal for
teenagers to have their own space or rent
as Airbnb. The laundry, bathroom, and a
bedroom on the second; dining, living and
kitchen on third; while on the upper level
is the main bedroom, ensuite and study.
There are several outdoor spaces, a
paved sheltered barbecue area with the
added bonus of a pizza oven to enjoy al
fresco dining with family and friends, a
deck off the third level for a read of the
paper with a cup of coffee in hand, or the
surrounding area including the stepped
pathway to wander through nature.
Zoned for Cashmere Primary and
Cashmere High Schools and close to all
amenities.
A walkway right outside your door, and
the sense of seclusion and tranquillity on
entering the property, what more could
you ask for.
Open Homes Saturday and Sunday
12:00pm - 12:30pm.

gain a
second chance
at ncea
Each year up to 10,000 young people
in New Zealand leave school with little
or no formal qualifications. Many teens
disengage with school as the teaching
environment simply does not suit their
style of learning. Research shows that
without a qualification they are more likely
to have difficulties entering the workforce,
as most jobs nowadays require NCEA and
a driver’s licence.
Many early school leavers unfortunately
believe that secondary school is the only
way to earn their NCEA qualifications.
This misconception is particularly
concerning for those young people
who don’t necessarily ‘fit’ the schooling
environment, but still want to find
employment or complete certain industry
training courses for which an NCEA
qualification is a pre-requisite.
Every year dozens of young people
are getting a second chance at earning
NCEA credits after leaving secondary
school, thanks to Vision College. The
Private Training Establishment (PTE) are
spreading awareness to the young people
in the community, making sure they know
that achieving their NCEA levels outside
of school is within their reach.
Vision College’s free ‘Ultimate’
programme offers students without NCEA
the opportunity to gain NCEA Level 1
and 2, their driver’s licence, and a range of
skills designed to make them employable.
Students earn their NCEA credits in
a more practical way, through games,
hands-on activities, and by applying their
learning to real life situations. Students
also get to experience tasters of different
career and study paths to help them
decide where they would like to head after
completing ‘Ultimate’.
School leavers can also enrol in
Security, Early Childcare or Business
Administration courses to earn not only
credits towards NCEA Level 3, but also
a career qualification in just six months.
These courses are all free for anyone aged
between 16 and 19. Upon completion
students can even pathway onto higher
study with Vision College in Web and
Software Design, Early Childhood
Education, and Counselling.
Vision College are enrolling now for
2020! For more information on their
courses, call 0800 834 834, txt “VISION”

YOUR VOTE
YOUR VOICE
Authorised by James Daniels, 6 Betula Place, Parklands, Coastal
One of New Brighton’s favourite sons, James Daniels is asking for your vote in the upcoming
Christchurch City Council elections. James is running as an Independent in the Coastal Ward
and promises vigorous, vocal and local representation in the Council chambers.
Last week you should have received
voting papers in the mail for the
Christchurch City Council election.
It’s a postal vote and the forms are
due back by October 12.
I grew up here, still live here and will grow old
here. I love it here. I’m upset about the way we, as
a coastal community, have been neglected and
disrespected over the last nine years in particular.
The Council needs people with proven, good
governance skills because we have some
strategic, yet complex, difficult decisions to make.
I’ll bring energy, experience, expertise and a fresh
perspective to the process.
I will remain visible, be transparent and
communicate with my community while listening
carefully to the issues that affect us.

It was fantastic to be part of the meet the
candidates meeting recently at the Roy Stokes
Hall. It was so energising to be in a room with many
people I know. I spoke about my feelings for this
very special part of Christchurch and admitted that
I don’t know all the answers but am ready, willing
and able to ask the hard questions – if elected.
The Daniels family first lived in
Union Street then Gresham Terrace.
After getting married at St Faiths,
I lived in Collingwood Street, Rae
Lane, Brentwood Street, Marriotts
Road and still live in Betula Place.
I went to South, Central and North
New Brighton schools and my
children were born and brought up
here. I know this area, its history, its
issues and the fact we’ve been let
down by the city’s governors.
We need a new, enthusiastic and
experienced representative in the
Council chambers.
I’ve had a great education and career
in this city with many high points, but
the current low point is the state of our
Ward. This is the most beautiful part of
Christchurch with so much potential.
We deserve better roads, footpaths,
drainage and basic infrastructure.
The Regeneration Plan will affect
the future of our community so we
need a fresh face and energised
voice to advocate and agitate for
the Coastal Ward.
I have more
than 30 years
of governance
experience.
I have had a long and successful broadcasting career.
For many years I partnered with Ken Ellis, and more
recently I worked with Hilary Muir co-hosting The
Breeze breakfast show for four years.

MEET SOME OF MY FAMILY – This is me and my beautiful wife, Dianne, and my in-laws, Peter and Aileen,
standing outside their house in North Beach that they built in the 1950’s. Most of my life, past, present and
future, is tied to the Coastal Ward.
MY SKILLS WILL MAKE
A DIFFERENCE
If I get elected I promise to
retire my campaign shirt!
Many people only know me because
of my broadcasting career. Not many
know I have more than 30 years of
governance experience covering
commercial, charitable, community
and not-for-profit organisations. I
was a foundation director of More
FM, served on the tribal council of
Ngāi Tahu for its first 19 years, am
currently in my fifth year on the board
of a $700m property company, had
six years on the national sporting
organisation Touch NZ and am on
the board of Te Papa Tongarewa,
the Museum of New Zealand.
I am also well-connected locally
and nationally, so combining my
communication skills with my
experience and expertise, I will
make a difference for our
Coastal community.

JAMES DANIELS
INDEPENDENT
COASTAL
I’ve spoken to thousands of people when doorknocking,
being stopped at the supermarket,
service station or on the street and they have
common concerns about the lack of action and
communication regarding repairs, water-related issues and
rate rises.
WHAT I PLEDGE
The proposed rate increases over the next ten
years are distressing. I will openly oppose any
increases until convinced it’s necessary.
I’m not wasting energy on what happened (or didn’t
happen) over the last nine years. If elected, in the
first 90 days I will do a deep-dive stocktake on the
current situation regarding the Coastal Ward (the
Regeneration Plan is a positive!). In the New Year I
will come back to the community and call a series
of meetings to tell you face-to-face ‘where we’re
at’, then we will decide ‘where we want to go’.
The only promise I make is that I will work very hard.
ONE LAST THING
• People’s Choice Labour asked me to join them.
I said no.
• Local government should be about local
decisions, being made as close to the
community as possible.
• Local decisions should be made by local,
independent people who have no relationship
to Central Government.
• Otherwise, get rid of local government and run
Christchurch city from Wellington.
