Bus lanes 

mooted to 

alleviate 

congestion 

from new 

motorway 

extension 


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 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.

Shirley 108yo’s secret to long life 


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. 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

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

alcohol, but Mr Brown said she 

always raved about his custard 

which had a healthy dash of 

brandy in it.

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.

Perfect outcome elusive 

•From page 1 

Cranford St was planned to 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 

Mark Wilson 

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. 

CONGESTION: 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. 

“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. 

‘It’s just a lovely thing 

for the Smarts to gift’ 


The book was made before it 

was possible to photograph the 

back of the eye, so all the images 

are hand-drawn. 

Dr Baddeley has been an 

ophthalmologist for 17 years, and 

he said the gift of the book was a 

very nice thought. 

“Patients usually send a letter 

of thanks rather than gifts, but 

it’s extremely nice of the Smart’s 

to gift this to myself and to St 

George’s. Myself and my colleagues 

will treasure it and keep it 

in our department,” he said. 

The treatment for Mrs Smart’s 

case was a similar approach to 

cataract surgery after a report 

found some forms of glaucoma 

could be treated this way, without 

as many risks as laser treatment. 

“I think it’s a wonderful, 

beautiful gift for our department, 

and it just reminds us that 

there were times before, when 

photographing the back of the 

eye was near impossible. It’s just 

a lovely thing for the Smarts to 

gift,” Dr Baddeley said. 

Dr Smart used to receive gifts 

when he worked as a general 

practitioner and has been collecting 

old medical equipment over 

many years. 

“The reason for giving the

medical book on eyes. 

book to Paul is as a token of our 

appreciation for his kindness and 

professional services and because 

Jackie and I are so delighted with 

the results of his surgery,” Dr 

Smart said. 

Mrs Smart was “absolutely 

delighted” with the outcome of 

her surgery, as she no longer has 

to wear the thick spectacles she 

once needed. 

“It’s a miracle, I couldn’t see 

anything at all. It’s changed my 

life, you know,” she said.

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 

well-rounded 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

last week to celebrate 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.

pupils are ready to “move it”

Opening night was due to be

Haberfield Hall, and the show will 

run until Thursday night. 

More than 100 pupils are 

involved in the production of the 

animated film adaptation. 

Cast member Frances Stanley 

said playing Alex the Lion 

has been a “once in a lifetime 

opportunity.” 

“I am grateful to have been 

provided with this experience. 

After all our rehearsing, I 

am really excited for all the 

performances,” she said. 

Chloe Brackenridge plays Marty

the role is a “real honour.” 

“The cast has been practicing 

for most of the year so I am sure 

this show will entertain our 

audience. Every time I see the sets 

or one of our advertising posters 

I get a wave of excitement,” she 

said. 

•Tickets cost $15 each and 

the show will start at 7.30pm.

KNOW YOUR WORTH 

What to do before you sell your 

property this spring 

The blossoms are out and spring is here – and 

that means the real estate market is moving up 

a gear as buyers and sellers alike put their plans 

into action. If you’re selling a home this spring, 

you’ve probably been watching the market and 

you already know it’s competitive for sellers 

this season. 

There are lots of buyers out there and plenty of activity (in 

our office we’ve been presenting numerous multi-offers as 

buyers compete for desirable homes), but there’s also plenty 

of choice, so you’ll need to make sure your property shines 

to stand out from the competition. The great news is that it 

doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to get your property into 

the selling zone – in fact, it probably shouldn’t, because if 

you go remodelling bathrooms and kitchens, you never know

For her support of the 

Cancer Foundation 

whether potential buyers will share your taste or whether 

they’ll be quietly adding up the cost of replacing your hard 

work anyway! 

Keep it simple. Make sure your property is immaculately 

clean, from the front gate to the backyard and everywhere 

in between. Clean gutters, roofs, paths, fences and, indoors, 

clean everything! This will also go a long way towards the 

second important consideration – getting rid of odours. 

Unfortunately, it can be hard to tell whether your own home is 

a bit whiffy, so ask a trusted friend, and make sure it’s wellaired 

before viewings (with no smelly foods in the kitchen). 

Finally, declutter. Go all Marie Kondo and either get rid of as 

much as you can or put it into storage while you’re on the 

market. It will be worth the extra cost in the end. 

In a competitive market, you’ll also need to surround yourself 

with the right people and arm yourself with the latest market 

insights. Get in touch with the award-winning team at 

Harcourts gold Redwood and they can help you out with an 

obligation-free appraisal of your property’s current market 

value so you know exactly where you stand.

Science journalist addresses 

students over climate change 


YOUNG CITY climate 

activists were visited by 

Canadian science journalist 

Alanna Mitchell, and her 

message was one of hope. 

Students and teachers at 

Christchurch Girls’ High and 

Hillmorton High schools met 

Ms Mitchell last week, and she 

spoke about her career – with 

her speciality being the ocean. 

Ms Mitchell has written six 

books on climate change, and 

her knowledge comes from 

following some of the world’s 

most celebrated scientists on 

their expeditions. 

Ms Mitchell is in New 

Zealand to do a series of talks 

to MAS Insurance members, 

and the company wanted to 

give her the opportunity to 

inspire the next generation 

of climate change activists in 

Christchurch. 

Hillmorton High School 

social studies teacher Geordie 

Dann said the school’s year 9s 

and environment committee 

enjoyed hosting Alanna as 

the ideas and issues discussed 

about the oceans were 

enlightening and frightening. 

“The students were so keen

to interact and find solutions 

or practical things that 

people can do to make real

irreversible”. 

Ms Mitchell also spoke to 

about 40 year 8 and 9 social 

studies students at Hillmorton 

High School. 

After each talk, she spent 

time privately speaking with 

four students from each 

school from the schools’ 

environmental committees. 

Student Charlotte 

Koers said: “I think this 

was an amazing, different 

experience and a new way to 

learn more about a topic our 

generation is interested in. 

I found it really interesting 

learning about Coral 

Spawning and that it happens 

once annually. Overall, 

Alanna’s talk was a great 

opportunity and one that we 

learnt a lot from.” 

Ms Mitchell’s overall 

message to the students was 

that there is still hope, and 

she applauded New Zealand 

students for being so active in 

the climate change space. 

“It’s this generation that 

is really going to make that 

difference in this whole public 

discourse about climate 

change. It’s so inspiring to hear 

about what these students are 

doing. They are going to change 

the world, I know it. I feel so 

much more hopeful having 

done this talk – it’s moving and 

fascinating,” she said. 

At CGHS she talked to about 

270 mostly year 12 students, 

and assistant principal Sonja 

Bailey said she hopes the talk 

will open up a lot of horizons 

for the students. 

Mrs Bailey said the school 

supports its students who 

are involved with the School 

Strike 4 Climate initiative, and 

there will be students striking 

on Friday. 

“If we can support our girls, 

that’s our little bit we can do,” 

she said. 

EAGER: CGHS student Molly Smeele 

asking climate journalist Alanna 

Mitchell questions on climate issues. 

Christchurch Girls’ High School year 

11 student Molly Smeele shares her 

thoughts on Alanna Mitchell’s talk at 

the school. 

“I think it’s really important that 

young people, especially women, 

get to hear adults and other women 

speak who are passionate about the 

environment and understand the 

effects of climate change so they can be 

empowered to take action themselves. 

Because it is our future and we need to 

take action. 

“I’m a member of the School Strike 4 

Climate Change team in Christchurch 

and we are organising a march on the 

September 27. I believe it’s important 

that we push our Government and 

large corporations to take more 

ambitious action to prevent the effects 

of climate change. 

“I learnt a lot more about the science 

side of the ocean from Alanna, and 

I also learnt a lot about journalism 

and how it can be a great pathway 

to understanding and spreading 

awareness about climate change and 

climate action.”

our Local Views 

With the community board terms nearing their end, Papanui-Innes and Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board chairs 

Ali Jones and Sam MacDonald reflect on what the boards have achieved in the last three years. 

Committed to the best outcome 

IT’S BEEN a very busy threeyear 

period with a number of 

really complex, contentious and 

challenging issues for the board 

to navigate. 

It’s also been incredibly 

rewarding for us all, with a lot 

of contact with our community, 

particularly the youth who 

we support to attend sports, 

leadership and cultural events 

locally and overseas. 

Although it has been a long 

process and large elements of 

which have been dictated to by 

the legal framework, the Downstream 

Effects Management Plan 

engagement has been our biggest 

achievement. 

Every member remains committed 

to achieving the best 

outcome for the community 

from a major road being forced 

upon us. As I said during the 

process, we are not going to please 

everyone with the decisions made 

around the DEMP, however, the 

broad engagement and robust 

interaction with our community 

has enabled us to consider and 

subsequently make more than 50 

changes to the plan which is going 

to be presented to the city council. 

That wouldn’t have happened 

if we hadn’t had the community 

so passionately involved and 

Ali Jones 

engaged. We are very grateful to 

everyone who took the time and 

made the effort to get involved. 

Other board achievements 

this term include, finally getting 

emissions and vibrations monitored 

for Cranford St before the 

Northern Corridor opens and 

the ongoing success of our Edible 

Garden awards which are getting 

bigger and better every year. 

We have worked really hard on 

improving our communication 

with residents and one way we 

have done this is by establishing 

a Facebook page (we are the only 

board to do this) and keeping 

it up to date with information 

pertinent to the area. 

In the Papanui Ward, the 

ongoing development of Papanui 

Bush in Bridgestone Reserve 

has been a success, the Papanui 

slow speed zone, and the 

opening of the Neighbourhood 

Links building were also good 

achievements. 

Across in Innes, the pump 

track on 10 Shirley Rd has been 

approved, and should be in place 

for the next Summer, sorted out 

roading issues in Richmond and 

saw the formation of a working 

group to determine the best 

design feature for the new St 

Albans community centre. 

We can always do things 

better, and we will not please 

all of the people all of the 

time – but we always try our 

best and are always up for 

constructive criticism and robust 

conversations. 

Thank you to the Papanui- 

Innes board members for 

their unwavering focus on 

representing our community this 

term, and bringing a passion and 

energy to an important role in 

our local democracy. 

Productive three years 

on many fronts 

IT’S BEEN a productive three 

years for the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board on a range of 

fronts. 

THe board operates on 

delegations from the city council 

in an effort to make more 

local decision making, and to 

ensure the city council table 

concentrates on city-wide issues. 

While it is difficult to capture 

everything I wanted to touch 

on there are a few tangible outcomes 

our board has worked on. 

Most recently we finally got 

the green light from the city 

council to install traffic lights at 

the Harewood, Breens and Gardiners 

Rds intersection, this has 

been a long fight but it’s good to 

see it progress. 

Often we are approached by 

community groups who have an 

interest in a something significant 

in our board area, of note 

was the consultation to consider 

the Avonhead Cemetery be recognised 

as a memorial cemetery. 

This is particularly relevant 

following the earthquakes and 

after a huge effort by the Friends 

of Avonhead Cemetery. 

We have had pedestrian lights 

Sam MacDonald 

installed outside St Andrews’ 

College in a bid to make it safer 

for students crossing Papanui Rd. 

We have approved and instructed 

city council staff to undertake the 

work required to modernise the 

Lake Roto Kohatu facilities which 

will make it far more accessible 

and user-friendly for everyone 

who uses this (particularly over 

the summer).

Council 

needs to 

focus on 

the basics 


It has been pleasing to see 

both the Bishopdale Library 

open post its earthquake 

rebuild and I’m sure everyone 

who uses Jellie Park will value 

the redevelopment that has occurred 

there. 

We have had a record number 

of students present to the 

board over this term updating 

us on what they are achieving 

locally, and so many community 

groups have partnered with 

the board to strengthen their 

work in the local community. 

While we undertake a lot of 

outcome-driven work in the 

local area, we also advocate to 

the city council at every annual 

budget and Long Term Plan 

on behalf of residents, we have 

continually reminded the city 

council that it needs to focus 

on the basics and reinvest the 

rates everyone in our wards 

pays back into our part of the 

city. 

We are all looking forward 

to what the next three years 

bring. 

Dedication to school breakfasts recognised 


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. 

HONOURS: Charlotte

Durey were

Kickstart Breakfast 

Unsung Heroes 

Award for their 

volunteer work 

with the Northcote 

community breakfast 

club. They are

Kickstart manager 

Kylie McKay. 

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.

Swedish influence in Papanui 

Papanui Heritage Group’s 

Murray Williams writes 

about Ola Larson’s 

journey from Sweden to 

Papanui. Research by 

Christine Grant 

OLA LARSON, who was 

born in Sweden in 1846, led a 

most interesting life, 11 years 

of which was spent in New 

Zealand and a significant part 

of this in Papanui. 

He and his wife, Johanna, 

were to produce 10 children, 

the first three Elida, Sigrid and 

Hulda were born in Sweden. 

In the 1870s, the New Zealand 

Government was keen 

to increase the population to 

develop the new country to the 

extent of subsidising the passage 

of suitable migrants. 

The Larsons were ideal 

candidates, Ola was a landscape 

gardener and his wife, 

a dressmaker. They were also 

nurturing a growing family; 

their fourth daughter, Alfreda 

Marina Oceana was born at 

sea en route to New Zealand 

in 1874 and Amy, William, 

Nanny and Oscar Alfred in 

the country in which they 

hoped to settle permanently. 

Their English names 

perhaps suggest a desire to 

LARSON COTTAGE: Ola Larson and his family outside 

their Papanui cottage, Ola’s willow baskets are prominently 

displayed. 

assimilate into the life of the 

then British colony. 

The family settled into a 

rented cottage at Papanui 

while Ola worked for Robert 

Heaton Rhodes senior on his 

estate named Elmwood now 

the site of Heaton Intermediate 

School in Heaton St. 

According to Larson’s journal, 

the two had an excellent 

working relationship and he 

considered his position as the 

best job he had ever had. 

During this period, Ola 

met Elder Shrikes, a Mormon 

missionary and the latter 

made such a strong impression 

that Ola became a member of 

the Church of the Latter Day 

Saints. 

However, such was the 

suspicion with which the new 

American religion was viewed 

that Ola faced persecution that 

ranged from losing his job 

at Elmwood to being chased 

from a meeting by an angry 

mob. 

When the Larson’s son 

Oscar died at the age of five 

months, the St Paul’s vestry 

refused to permit the child’s 

burial in the Anglican graveyard 

at Papanui. 

Ola now had to make his 

own work and learned a new 

trade as a basket maker. There 

are several examples of his 

applying for permission to 

harvest poplar cuttings along 

the Avon. 

This highly pliable wood was 

used as the raw material for his 

basketwork. 

In July 1885 the Larson 

family left New Zealand and 

travelled to Utah, the US 

territory which was the home 

of the Mormon religion. 

There, the last two children 

of the marriage were born, 

and the Larson family had 

finally found an environment 

where they could settle 

permanently.

Fight still on for club’s cricket nets 

Old Boys 

Collegians 

Cricket Club 

secretary 

and senior 

player David 

Wakefield 

shares his 

views on 

the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board decision not to 

approve the lease for 

proposed cricket nets 

at Elmwood Park after 

members of the community 

expressed frustration about 

the size of the proposed 

nets. Further consultation 

will be undertaken by the 

city council in the coming 

months 

OBVIOUSLY THERE has 

been a lot of fanfare around 

our proposed redevelopments 

recently. 

It has been a very long process 

from the inception of the plans, 

with well over two years of continuous 

consultations and correspondence 

with the city council 

to get our proposals to this point. 

So to not get it approved is very 

frustrating. We feel that the essence 

of our proposals has been 

lost in the process. 

We are trying to redevelop 

existing facilities (cricket nets). 

A primary concern with our 

proposal has been the size of the 

nets. The nets as they currently 

are, are very open and unsafe. 

Anyone who frequents Elmwood 

Park would be well aware of the 

dangers that flying balls from 

these nets pose to passers-by 

who use the path. 

We are trying to pre-empt 

accidents from occurring by 

designing the new replacement 

nets to be fully enclosed. Bowlers 

need run-ups in cricket, 

naturally, that will mean the nets 

have to be longer to account for 

this. This is where the increased 

size of the nets comes into it. 

These nets will be free for the 

public to use them and will be 

a fantastic community facility 

to be enjoyed by sportspeople 

young and old for many years to 

come. We are looking forward 

to providing this facility for the 

community, of which, the vast 

majority of our progressive and 

inclusive club is a part of. 

Elmwood Park is shared by 

many people passionate about it. 

We are trying to make sure everyone 

can continue to enjoy the 

park and co-exist without having 

serious accidents which we are 

trying to avoid. 

REPLACEMENT: 

The existing 

cricket nets at 

Elmwood Park, 

the Old Boys 

Collegians 

Cricket Club 

wants to use 

longer nets to 

improve safety 

during training. 

During this process, we have 

unfortunately become victim 

to a few factors which have not 

helped us. A very vocal minority 

has disproportionately affected 

the local board’s decision- their 

decision at the last meeting 

reflected the effect of this. 

Perhaps if our 500+ junior 

players had a vote in the upcoming 

local elections, there would 

have been a different result at the 

meeting. Our club is very much 

a part of this community and we 

feel this was not appropriately 

taken into account. 

There was a very thorough 

report of the proposal drafted by 

the city council for the community 

board recommending that 

the net proposal be approved, as 

well as taking into consideration 

the consultation process where 

over 100 submissions indicated 

clear support for the proposals in 

comparison with 14 indicating 

clear opposition. 

We have worked extremely 

hard to raise $100,000 worth of 

grant funding for the redevelopment 

of the nets, which we may 

lose as a result of the time-consuming 

setbacks we have faced 

throughout this process. 

However, in spite of all this, 

we are committed to continue 

working on our proposal so that 

we can strike the right balance 

and come up with something 

that the community can be 

proud of and enjoy safely for 

generations to come – as we 

feel it is something that must 

be done, for the safety and 

enjoyment of all those who 

frequent Elmwood Park.

Mariu set for U19 games at Lincoln 

• By Jacob Page 

ST ANDREW’S College 

cricketer Rhys Mariu has been 

named in the New Zealand 

under-19 squad for a fivegame 

one-day series against 

Bangladesh this month. 

All five games will be played 

at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln 

over three weeks starting 

September 29 with the fifth onedayer 

scheduled for October 13. 

Head coach Paul Wiseman said 

he, along with assistants Graeme 

Aldridge and Adam Miles, had a 

strong talent pool from which to 

choose, making for an extremely 

tough selection process. 

“The under-19s programme is 

very much about development, 

so we are looking to give as many 

players as possible a taste of international 

cricket,” Wiseman said. 

“The upcoming matches 

against Bangladesh are an important 

series and a chance for 

meaningful, competitive cricket. 

“Our under-19 players are 

looking forward to a big season,

Bad health no hurdle to 

Mason’s singles title 

• By Adrian Seconi 

FENDALTON teenager Abby 

Mason battled a cold and her 

doubles partner to claim the 

Otago Indoor Open women’s 

singles title in Dunedin. 

The St Margaret’s College 

15-year-old coughed her way 

through the match but also 

slammed her backhand and 

forehand to power her way to 

a 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 win against rival 

and tournament No 1 seed Kelly 

Southwood. 

The pair teamed up to win the 

women’s doubles title earlier in 

the day. 

They beat Angela Fitzgerald 

and Belinda Hirst 6-0, 7-5. They 

also play club tennis together in 

Wellington – Mason commutes 

to the capital regularly. 

But the partnership was put on 

hold for the singles final. Mason 

was hitting the ball harder earlier 

and broke her rival’s serve to take 

a 4-2 lead. 

Southwood could not find a 

way back in the set and the final 

looked to be heading for an early 

finish when Mason went up 3-0 

in the second set. 

But this time Southwood was 

able to find a crack. 

She broke her opponents serve 

and held her own to trail 3-2. 

Game six was backwards and 

forwards. Both players had an 

opportunity to win the game but 

Southwood eventually prevailed. 

But she followed up some hard

work with a poor serving game. 

Mason served for the game at 5-4 

and again at 6-5 but could not 

finish. 

She fluffed some easy shots 

when coming into the net and the 

odd overhand went wayward as 

well. 

The errors proved costly. 

Southwood won a tiebreaker 7-5 

to claim the second set. 

But Mason put aside the 

squandered opportunities and 

produced a more polished effort 

in the third set to claim the win. 

Both players hit the ball with a 

lot of power but Mason had the 

edge with her backhand.

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.

please check our website and follow us on

Our talented Head of Culture 

Francesca Humphries has written 

recorded and released her first 

single. Her beautiful song ‘I had 

a dream’ is available now on 

iTunes, Spotify and Google Play. 

Fran was selected to participate in 

an artist development programme 

with Nathan Phillips Vocals and 

the results are breath-taking.

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 

combination of rugby training, coaching 

and academic learning.

World Scholars Cup 

In August this year we sent one Junior and 

one Senior team to Sydney to compete in the 

global round of The Worlds Scholars Cup. 

Both teams qualified through the regional 

round held in Christchurch. 

There are six subject academic challenges: 

Arts, Social Science, History, Science, 

Literature, Special Area - in this case Unsolved 

Mysteries. These are subjects that students 

studied before the event. The seniors did 

particularly well in these. Team medals are for 

Collaborative Writing, Debating and combined 

Academic and Scholars Bowl General 

Knowledge. 

All students achieved at a very high level 

in this competition which was attended by 

students from 28 countries. 

Both teams qualified for The Tournament of 

Champions to be held at Yale University in 

November.

Tasty Bites 

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. 

Don’t assume your smoke alarms are working.

Experienced physiotherapists caring 

for the St Albans community 

ProPhysio is celebrating its fifth 

anniversary this September, after 

opening the doors to the St Albans 

and Edgeware community in 2014. 

Offering over 40 years of combined 

physiotherapy experience, directors 

Megan Williams and Scott Suen 

strive to provide a high-quality, 

affordable and professional service. 

They specialise in treating sporting 

injuries, and are also passionate 

about looking after people that are 

suffering from general muscular 

pain, fractures, or spinal conditions, 

or recovering from orthopaedic 

operations. 

The ProPhysio clinic is situated 

within the ProMed building 

on Sherborne Street, where the 

physiotherapists work closely with 

the team at the medical centre, 

enabling them to streamline 

physiotherapy care for their clients 

with easier diagnosis and specialist 

referral within the same building. 

“We believe that giving our clients 

the best possible understanding of 

their injury will give them the best 

possible outcome,” Megan and Scott 

say. 

“We pride ourselves in providing 

quality treatment, and the modern 

facilities and technology at ProPhysio 

enable us to do just this.” 

They also pride themselves in 

taking the time to listen to their 

clients’ stories, which ensures there is 

no information missed, and accurate, 

quality treatment can be provided. 

Megan and Scott also believe in 

keeping treatment affordable. 

“We often hear the cost of 

physiotherapy treatment is a big 

barrier to people seeking the help 

they really need, but we have kept 

the same reasonable and affordable 

pricing since 2014,” Scott says. 

Their advice is, don’t leave those 

injuries from tidying up the garden, 

or those niggling aches and pains 

unchecked. Pop down to see the 

friendly and experienced staff at 

ProPhysio, who will make sure you 

receive the best physiotherapy care 

the St Albans community has to 

offer!

Living together 

with a hearing loss 

Living with an unaided hearing loss is 

basically no fun at all: It’s upsetting for 

the person with a hearing loss, but it’s also 

frustrating for you as a relative, whether 

you are a spouse, daughter, grandchild, 

friend or colleague – it affects all of you. 

For you as a relative living or being close 

to someone with a hearing loss you have 

most probably experienced: 

• You have to behave as a translator or a 

buffer. 

• Your loved ones’ social life declines 

because going out can be exhausting for 

both of you. 

• You sometimes feel as if you are slowly 

losing your partner, parent or friend to 

isolation. 

5 Tips to talk about hearing 

1. Express care and support. Talk from 

your heart with deep compassion and let 

them know they have your full support. 

2. Guide them through their journey. 

Help your loved one discover their 

hearing loss – they might not fully 

comprehend the extent of it, and neither 

do you.

Aches and Pains? 

Poor Posture? Tired, 

Stressed Body? 

• Deep Tissue Massage 

• Hot Rocks 

• Pregnancy + Relaxation 

• Trigger Point Therapy 

• Hip, Shoulder, Neck Injuries 

• Postural Issues 

3. Be patient. Don’t blame your loved one 

for their hearing loss. They might not 

realise how much it affects them and you. 

4. Be open. After listening to them, express 

to them about your feelings too. 

5. It’s a sensitive topic. Don’t make 

fun of your loved one for not hearing 

everything.

School of Music 

The Christchurch School of Music is a family-oriented 

community aimed at providing quality music education in and 

around Christchurch. The school has been an important part of the 

Christchurch music education scene for 64 years so why not come 

along and join us? 

CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a strong focus on 

community. From ages 2 to 92 we have something for everyone. 

On a Saturday morning the whole family can find something to 

suit. 

For the young ones there are pre-school and junior school classes, 

“Take Off with Music”, 41/2 year olds can start on Suzuki strings 

and at 6 the recorder is a great instrument to learn. In 2019 we have 

a fantastic deal for beginner recorder players – just $52 for a year of 

tuition and this includes a recorder and a book!! 

Older children and adults may opt for group or individual lessons 

on a specific instrument (including voice). With six orchestras, 

two concert bands, a Big Band, a jazz combo, 6 wind ensembles, 

rock bands, two choirs, chamber groups, a samba band and a guitar 

ensemble there is an ensemble to suit all levels and all ages. 

If affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to offer a discount 

through funding provided by the Rata Foundation.

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”

REAL ESTATE 


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.

The Hamptons 

Peter and Kathryn Hampton 

As we move into Spring Summer and will 

soon be approaching the end of the 2019 

year, many people are making choices for 

2020 with many people choosing to move 

home, change schools, buy a car and 

organise another holiday.

Peter & Kathryn Hampton 

Licensed Sales Consultants 

We make important choices throughout our life; what 

schools our children will go to, what food we eat, what 

friends we have, where to go on holiday, and the values 

we instill in our children. Two of the biggest choices we have to make are; where we live and 

when to sell and buy. A crucial component of the process is selecting the right licensed real 

estate salesperson to guide you through the mountain of information and industry jargon. A 

salesperson can assist in the important task of identifying the right buyer for your house, as 

well as understanding your unique requirements and make your next dream home a reality. 

It takes great negotiation and sales skills teamed with effective target marketing to deliver 

the very best results. Kathryn and Peter can offer you an exceptional real estate experience. 

Working as a team we collectively together want to achieve the very best results and the best 

outcome. Give us a call today, we would really like to hear from you.

Client Comments 

The success of me attaining my property through an Auction was through Peter’s excellent 

knowledge and professionalism in all realms of the process. Peter’s ease of communication; 

listening to requirements and always following up queries promptly has been amazing. 

I appreciated his wise counsel and honesty as I was in the North Island after having had 

a positive and thorough viewing time with Peter over 2 days. It is without hesitation I 

recommend him.

1/61 St Albans Street, Merivale 

Wikipedia search ‘The Hamptons’ and you will discover pages about a group of villages and 

hamlets in Long Island, New York that form a popular seaside resort and one of the historical 

summer colonies of the northeastern United States: a community-oriented dwelling place for 

affluent families originally descended from salt-of-the-earth, potato farming community stock. 

Google search The Hamptons in Christchurch and you will come across a few parallel 

observations. A husband and wife team with a passion for Canterbury homes, villages and 

hamlets, dedicated to helping sometimes affluent and always salt-of-the-earth families in their 

quest to find community-oriented dwelling places. 

But let’s cut the sales flannel because that’s definitely not how Kathryn and Peter roll. On the 

contrary, if you’re looking for sound, well-researched property advice, without the hype then 

look no further. My family and I relocated here from Australia with no prior knowledge of the 

various neighbourhoods and an innate fear of buying a property on ground that might be 

susceptible to movement. The Hamptons proved to be our salvation… careful, considered and 

coherent counsel, always with a smile and delivered with a can-do approach to bespoke house 

viewing times and wine-inspired strategy sessions. 

The net outcome: we moved into our beautiful new family house in Strowan a few months ago 

and what we owe the bank pales in comparison to our debt of gratitude to Pete and Kathryn 

for helping us to find our dream home. My mobile number is 027 548 3073 and I would be 

more than happy to hear from you if you need any more convincing of why to consider the 

Hamptons when thinking of buying or selling a property.
