NEW ZEALAND music<br />
teacher of the year is a<br />
prestigious title to hold, and<br />
Duncan Ferguson is one of<br />
three Kiwis in the running.<br />
The St Andrew’s College head<br />
of music has been teaching at<br />
the school for 10 years, and he<br />
said being the only South Island<br />
finalist is a huge honour.<br />
“I know there is a large number<br />
of teachers all over New<br />
Zealand, so I’m surprised that I<br />
have received this. I also feel really<br />
glad that the hard work I do<br />
at St Andrew’s College and for<br />
the music teaching community<br />
has been honoured,” he said.<br />
Other finalists for the Recorded<br />
Music New Zealand<br />
award are Jane Egan from Gisbourne<br />
Girls’ High School who<br />
is a finalist for the second year<br />
in a row and Sue Banham from<br />
Rosehill College in Auckland.<br />

House for<br />
criminals<br />
could be<br />
unlawful<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A HALFWAY house for serious<br />
criminals in upmarket Merivale<br />
could be operating unlawfully.<br />
The Salisbury St Foundation in<br />
St Albans St is now under investigation<br />
by the city council after its<br />
compliance team received a complaint<br />
about the matter last week.<br />
Said a city council spokesman:<br />
“To be lawfully operating at the<br />
sites under the Resource Management<br />
Act, the activities would<br />
either need to be operating under<br />
existing use rights or be permitted<br />
by the Christchurch District<br />
Plan. We don’t have this information<br />
at this stage.”<br />
He said there are no resource<br />
consents recorded for any of the<br />
properties owned by the foundation.<br />
On September 17, Nor’west<br />
<strong>News</strong> reported the foundation<br />
had expanded and brought more<br />
properties nearby. It is now able to<br />
house 21 criminals, up from 15.<br />
In August, a new consolidated<br />
agreement with the foundation<br />
and the Department of Corrections<br />
approved the increase, as<br />
well as changes which means all<br />
of the foundation’s services are<br />
financially compensated for by<br />
Corrections.<br />

Community centre site blessed<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
A SITE blessing and sod-turning<br />
ceremony held last week marked<br />
preparations for work on the<br />
new $3.1 million St Albans<br />
Community Centre.<br />
Contractors are due to be onsite<br />
by early November.<br />
But some residents are concerned<br />
about the high-cost for<br />
the centre, and lack of sustainable<br />
energy and water systems.<br />
But St Albans Resident’s Association<br />
board member Lynne<br />
O’Keefe said the association is<br />
helping to ensure these systems<br />
are put in place. She said this is a<br />
plan for the future.<br />
“There obviously has been a<br />
lot put into it [community centre]<br />
now, but we will be working<br />
to get that sorted,” she said.<br />
The single-storey building will<br />
be on the site formerly occupied<br />
by the earthquake-damaged<br />
centre – a block of land that<br />
runs between Colombo St and<br />
Caledonian Rd.<br />
The building will have modern<br />
timber and a glass facade with<br />
400 sq m of floor space, including<br />
a hall with a stage, three<br />
meeting rooms, an office and a<br />
kitchen.<br />
A central gathering space<br />
will open out on to a deck to<br />
the north, delivering light and<br />

environment for closer connections.<br />
As a community hub, it<br />
will provide a base for many<br />
groups that cater to all ages and<br />
interests,” he said.<br />
Many local groups are currently<br />
operating out of makeshift<br />
spaces around St Albans.<br />
“With the new centre a step<br />
closer, they can soon be under<br />
one roof and continue to provide<br />
support to the local community,<br />
along with plenty of activities and<br />
opportunities,” Mr Filsell said<br />
Community groups are<br />
already looking forward to utilising<br />
the new hub, with several<br />
indicating they plan to move<br />
from their present premises.<br />

‘It’s destroying me’<br />
•From page 1<br />
Last week, a Corrections<br />
spokesman directed questions<br />
on the issue to the foundation, as<br />
it is the owner of the properties.<br />
It comes as a homeowner in<br />
Merivale says she will lose close<br />
to $200,000 of her property’s<br />
value because she lives next door<br />
to the foundation.<br />
Ali Chapman’s Mansfield Ave<br />
property shares a driveway with<br />
the foundation.<br />
It has purchased several neighbouring<br />
properties next to Mrs<br />
Chapman’s home, which they<br />
now operate out of.<br />
Mrs Chapman said the foundation<br />
verbally told her when<br />
she wanted to sell, it would be<br />
interested in buying it.<br />
Now, Mrs Chapman says she<br />
has been forced to move out due<br />
to her financial situation.<br />

Maximising student motivation<br />
•From page 1<br />
The three finalists were selected<br />
from 200 nominations received<br />
for 76 individual music teachers<br />
and mentors across the country.<br />
Mr Ferguson said being named<br />
as a finalist has helped to reassure<br />
him he knows what he is doing.<br />
“I have spent so much of my<br />
career second-guessing myself<br />
about whether I’m doing a good<br />
job as a teacher. In a way though,<br />
this has been a good thing as it<br />
means I’ve constantly been questioning<br />
my practice, and how to<br />
adapt to new students every year,”<br />
he said.<br />
Recorded Music New Zealand<br />
chief executive Damian Vaughan<br />
said it is a privilege to celebrate<br />
Aotearoa’s top music teachers and<br />
the significant impact they have<br />
on so many New Zealanders.<br />
“For the second year, we have<br />
reviewed the incredible work<br />
of the best music teachers in<br />
Aotearoa. The guidance they give<br />
our rangatahi on their creative<br />
journeys can’t be overstated,<br />
it’s one of the main reasons our<br />
music industry is thriving,” Mr<br />
Vaughan said.<br />
At St Andrew’s, Mr Ferguson<br />
manages 30 co-curricular groups<br />
across all genres of music, which<br />
more than 140 students are involved<br />
in.<br />
Mr Ferguson redesigns his<br />
courses annually to maximise<br />
student motivation and engagement.<br />
“My students are not allowed to<br />
ask: ‘What do I need to do to get<br />
excellence?’ We are always looking<br />
at where they are at as performers,<br />
composers, producers, musicologists<br />
and what do they need to do<br />
to get better,” he said.<br />
Year 13 music student Victoria<br />
Lee said it is special to see her<br />
teacher recognised at a national<br />
level.<br />
“He [Mr Ferguson] never<br />
hesitates to sacrifice his own time<br />
for the benefit of his students. He<br />
will go everywhere and anywhere<br />
to support his students and their<br />
music,” she said.<br />
Classmate Hana Price added:<br />
“What I love about music class<br />
with Mr Ferguson is how projectbased<br />
everything is. Instead of<br />
only focusing on assessment, Mr<br />
Ferguson focuses on creating<br />
music that each student can be<br />
proud of.”<br />
Head boy Luca Vinnell<br />
described Mr Ferguson as an “innovative<br />
teacher.”<br />
“His passion for music and<br />
education is infectious and he<br />
fosters an attitude where we are<br />
encouraged to produce the best<br />
product we can, not stopping<br />
once we have met the course<br />
requirements.”<br />
Making yesterday's<br />
best performance into today’s<br />
new baseline is how legends<br />
roll. Never settle. Never stop.<br />

Villa’s budding business bosses<br />
VILLA MARIA College<br />
students have had the<br />
opportunity to be business<br />
bosses, putting their business<br />
knowledge into practice at the<br />
school’s market day.<br />
Year 10 commerce students<br />
including Bishopdale’s Keito<br />
Yoshida were challenged to create<br />
a product and a food item<br />
and sell to the college community<br />
recently.<br />
“My favourite part was<br />
presenting our prototype and<br />
receiving the feedback so we<br />
could improve our product before<br />
market day. I’m excited to be<br />
selling our coffee cups and cake<br />
mixes at the market and also<br />
helping out our chosen charity,”<br />
said Katie McHerron.<br />
“We had to choose products to<br />
sell, identify the unique selling<br />
point, develop a business plan,<br />
make prototypes and work on<br />
our marketing skills,” said year<br />
10 student Kyra Clarkson, whose<br />
group is called Super Mugs.<br />
“We decided to sell reusable<br />
coffee cups, filled with a readyto-bake<br />
cake mix and cookie<br />
dough.”<br />
Fellow student Keito Yoshida<br />
added: “We focussed on creating<br />
a product that was sustainable<br />
and environmentally friendly,<br />
and encourages people to reuse<br />
SUPER MUGS: Katie McHerron, Keito Yoshida, Kyra Clarkson<br />
and Ruby Lundy with their reusable coffee cups and cake mix. <br />
their cups, rather than using<br />
disposable cups.”<br />
Commerce is an optional subject<br />
for year 10 students at Villa<br />
Maria College and is a combination<br />
of accounting, economics<br />
and business studies.<br />
It’s a popular subject choice for<br />
students and they enjoy the challenge<br />
of the market day event.<br />
Student Ruby Lundy said: “It<br />
was tricky to come up with a<br />
product that was unique and<br />
special so that we could attract<br />
lots of customers, but we’re really<br />
happy with our end product.”<br />
The students will all decide<br />
on a charity to donate a portion<br />
of their profits to after the<br />
market.<br />
Other products at the market<br />
included reusable metal straws,<br />
face masks and lip scrubs,<br />
bubble tea and sweet treats.<br />
CONGESTION: The Downstream Effects Management Plan<br />
was approved by the city council last week.<br />
Mitigation plan approved<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
THE PLAN to mitigate the<br />
effects of more than 48,000 extra<br />
vehicles set to come through<br />
St Albans due to a motorway<br />
extension has been approved.<br />
At its meeting on last week, the<br />
city council approved the recommendations<br />
of two community<br />
boards that said public transport<br />
should be prioritised to help<br />
alleviate traffic congestion in the<br />
suburb.<br />
Christchurch’s Northern<br />
Motorway is being extended<br />
through to QEII Drive and Cranford<br />
St and when completed will<br />
effectively slice St Albans in half.<br />
It will also add an extra 48,000<br />
vehicles a day.<br />
Residents have tried to fight<br />
the extension, but all that can<br />
be done now is to find ways to<br />
alleviate the amount of traffic<br />
coming through the suburb.<br />
City councillors also said<br />
Courtenay St near St Albans<br />
School should be investigated for<br />
a street renewal to improve safety<br />
in the next Long Term Plan.<br />
The majority of city councillors<br />
agreed, however, Crs Yani Johanson<br />
and James Gough voted<br />
against the management plan.<br />
The motorway extension and<br />
the traffic management plan will<br />
cost the city council about $70-<br />
80 million, while NZ Transport<br />
Agency will pay for the other<br />
half.<br />
The extension is set to open in<br />
June.<br />

to raise $5.5 million each year to<br />
cover the cost of the services it<br />
offers to people in need.<br />
“This $15,000 cheque will<br />
support 12 people through an<br />
alcohol and drug detox. It is an<br />
incredibly generous donation,”<br />

$15k to city mission<br />
Christchurch residents in need.<br />
It celebrated its 90th<br />

“Almost 10 per cent of<br />
Christchurch’s population has<br />
been supported by the city<br />
mission,” Mr Mark said.<br />
Store manager Kevin Owers<br />
said he was “very proud” to<br />
make the presentation.<br />
“I couldn’t think of anyone<br />
better to give it to. It gives you<br />
tingles,” he said.<br />
Smiths City chief executive<br />
Roy Campbell said the company<br />
has been a supporter of the<br />
mission for many years.<br />
“It doesn’t matter where we<br />
are in New Zealand, we want to<br />
be those locals who help locals.<br />
It makes us immensely proud,”<br />

Distinction awards in Auckland.<br />
Mr Trower, who works at<br />
Fendalton’s Goom Landscapes<br />
and lives in Bishopdale, was<br />
recognised for his innovation,<br />
communication, leadership,<br />
career development and<br />
construction abilities.<br />
“It was such an honour to<br />
pick the award up and receive<br />
recognition from across the<br />
industry, especially considering<br />
the calibre of the other finalists,”<br />
the Lincoln University graduate<br />
said.<br />
“I was so humbled that the<br />
team at Goom seemed to be<br />
as excited about my individual<br />
award as they were the numerous<br />
awards they received on the<br />
night.”<br />
Mr Trower will now progresses<br />
to the young horticulturist of the<br />
year awards, in which finalists<br />
across six industries battle it out<br />

more than 35 years ago.<br />
The nationally recognised<br />
awards acknowledged the best in<br />
landscape design, construction,<br />
horticulture and maintenance.<br />
Said Goom Landscapes<br />
director Tim Goom: “We take<br />
enormous pride as a team in<br />
completing every project to<br />
the highest standard, so to gain<br />
national recognition, not to<br />
mention armloads of awards, is<br />
deeply gratifying’.<br />
The company entered four<br />
projects in both the design<br />
and construction categories. It<br />
received four gold medals for<br />
construction and three gold and<br />
a silver medal for design.<br />
In addition to these medals,<br />

Dig out your historic photos for competition<br />
GIVEN TIME, even the most<br />
ordinary photo can be an<br />
extraordinary window into a<br />
different world.<br />
This photo, picturing the<br />
intersection of High, Hereford<br />
and Colombo Sts, was a<br />
highly commended entry in<br />
Christchurch City Libraries’ 2008<br />
photo hunt. It was submitted<br />
by Tony Bowie and shows his<br />
mother and grandmother on<br />
their way to shop in High St in<br />
the late 1950s.<br />
During the 1950s, the central<br />
city was the prime destination<br />
for shopping in Christchurch,<br />
and women would don hats and<br />
gloves for their trip into town.<br />
The central city enjoyed this<br />
shopping heyday in the first half<br />
of the 20th-century, coinciding<br />
with the peak of reliance on<br />
public transport – first trams,<br />
then buses. Cathedral Square<br />
was the central hub of the<br />
city’s transport network, which<br />
connected the suburbs to the city<br />
centre.<br />
It was customary for people<br />
to go into town to shop, and to<br />
“take tea” in the tea rooms of the<br />
major department stores located<br />
on both sides of Cathedral<br />
Square.<br />

Black Wired wins bandquest<br />
BLACK WIRED from St<br />
Andrew’s College preparatory<br />
school has won the nationwide<br />
primary and intermediate<br />
contest Rockshop Bandquest.<br />
The band earned $3000 worth<br />
of music equipment for their<br />
school.<br />
Judge Seth Haapu said Black<br />
Wired was immediately recognisable<br />
as a class act.<br />
“An exceptional mix of skill,<br />
confidence and synergy elevated<br />
the band to another level,” he said.<br />
The members of Black Wired<br />
are Ethan Lam (vocals and lead<br />
guitar), Tama Connelly (bass),<br />
Hayden Lam (drums), and Sam<br />
McAlister (guitar).<br />
Bass player Tama Connelly<br />
said winning the competition<br />
was a dream come true.<br />
Guitarist Sam McAlister said<br />
it was awesome to win, and he<br />
found out in “a really cool way.”<br />
“Our bassist Tama came up to<br />
me at lunchtime and said, “we’ve<br />
won bandquest!” He showed me<br />
the text message from his dad<br />
for proof and I went wild. It was<br />
an amazing feeling,” he said.<br />
Second place went to Te Reo o<br />
Kia Māori Mai from Whangarei<br />
Intermediate in Northland<br />
and third place was won by<br />
Unbreakable Glass from Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate.<br />
Now in its ninth year, Rockshop<br />

covers or original songs. There<br />
were over 200 entries this year, 12<br />
live events and an online contest<br />
for bands from outlying regions.<br />
“Tama came up to me at<br />
lunchtime and said: “We’ve<br />
won Bandquest!” and I went<br />
wild”<br />
– Sam McAlister<br />
Music teacher Michael Sumner<br />
helped to form the band two<br />
years ago with the aim of entering<br />
the Smokefreerockquest and<br />
Rockshop Bandquest.<br />
“All four members worked extremely<br />
hard behind the scenes<br />
and turned up to each practice<br />
prepared, which allowed us to<br />
focus on the performance as<br />
well as the song,” he said.<br />
Mr Sumner said it was a great<br />
effort as the lead singer and guitarist<br />
is only 10-years-old.<br />
Rockshop promotions<br />
manager Hamish Jackson said<br />
supporting young bands and<br />
giving them the opportunity to<br />
perform is very much a part of<br />
the ethos of the company which<br />
sponsors the competition.<br />
“There is a lasting impact<br />
for the music community, and<br />
the community in a whole, in<br />
being apart of a programme<br />
like this. A lot of these kids<br />
will find a passion for music<br />
through Rockshop Bandquest,<br />
which can lead to really exciting<br />
future possibilities when this<br />
is nurtured and developed,” he<br />
said.<br />

LAST WEEK at one of<br />

performed to a full house.<br />
Fat Eddie’s, in the central city,<br />
jumped and buzzed to the sounds<br />
of the contemporary and jazz<br />
music students, who presented a<br />
range of styles in both covers and<br />
original music.<br />
Director of music at Rangi<br />
Ruru, Janet Kingsbury, said the<br />
students thoroughly enjoyed sharing<br />
their music with family and<br />
friends.<br />
“There was so much variety. We<br />
heard from our rock bands, ranging<br />
from first-time performers in<br />
year 9 to the more experienced<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
year 13 groups,”<br />
Mrs Kingsbury said the jazz<br />
combo and jazz bands were crowd<br />
favourites, following their successes<br />
at the Southern Jam Jazz<br />
Youth Festival last month.<br />
“The jazz combo and jazz<br />
band really got toes tapping with<br />
popular and well-known jazz<br />
standards, along with some that<br />
would have been new to audience<br />
members. It was a very special<br />
afternoon,” she said.<br />
Event organiser and Rangi’s<br />
rock band mentor, Henare Kaa,<br />
said the girls worked hard towards<br />
the event and were excited<br />
about the opportunity to play in<br />
such a great venue.<br />

Special message in park mural<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
MACFARLANE PARK in<br />
Mairehau has been given a<br />
new lease of life thanks to an<br />
initiative to bring murals to the<br />
park.<br />
Last week, four murals made<br />
by schools in the area were unveiled,<br />
with one having a focus<br />
on love and support following<br />
March 15’s terror attack.<br />
The mural features a quote<br />
from the memorial service and<br />
the word “peace” in more than<br />
20 languages students at the<br />
school speak, as well as flowers<br />
made from recycled plastic.<br />
The quote on the mural, from<br />
Farid Ahmed says: “I may be<br />
from one culture, you may come<br />
from another culture, I may<br />
have one faith, you may have<br />
one faith, but together we are a<br />
beautiful garden.”<br />
Shirley Primary School parent<br />
and board of trustees member,<br />
Bec Roper-Gee was a driving<br />
force to getting the murals completed.<br />
“I walked my kids to Shirley<br />
Primary through MacFarlane<br />
Park for the last seven years and<br />
often thought it would be wonderful<br />
if the local children could<br />
have something more uplifting<br />
to look at every morning than<br />
the sad old fences that line both<br />
sides of the park,” she said.<br />
Ms Roper-Gee used her background<br />
as an environmental<br />
consultant and a “sustainability<br />
nut,” and had the idea to upcycle<br />
plastic milk bottle lids for the<br />
mural.<br />
“I worked with the Shirley<br />
Primary students on their<br />
mural, spending many hours<br />
shredding milk bottle lids and<br />
helping the kids fill moulds<br />
and melt the plastic. We hope<br />
these will be the first of many<br />
artworks enhancing the park”<br />
she said.<br />
Shirley Primary pupils Pietro<br />
Moses and Kamden Dyer said<br />
the mural represents how each<br />
person’s differences make them<br />
unique.<br />
“This is an opportunity to add<br />
some colour into MacFarlane<br />
Park and to provide a constant<br />
reminder of what happened,”<br />
they said.<br />
Said Shirley Primary School<br />
principal Alistair Sim: “This<br />
mural will hopefully continue<br />
to encourage our community to<br />
embrace our differences and ensure<br />
that hatred does not survive<br />
in a positive community.”<br />

the message<br />
behind their<br />
mural in<br />

Park, which<br />
is about<br />
peace and<br />
individuality<br />
following<br />
the March 15<br />
terror attack. <br />
of early childhood centres in<br />
the area – and Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate were also involved<br />
in the murals.<br />
Shirley Intermediate School<br />
teacher Margaret Dwan said<br />
the combined mural the school<br />
made with Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate required a lot of<br />
organisation to keep it looking<br />
cohesive.<br />
The mural included birds<br />
which were painted by pupils<br />
from Shirley Intermediate from<br />
different ethnicities, and each<br />
bird represented the pupil’s own<br />
ethnic art.<br />
Hip-hop<br />
dancers to<br />
show moves<br />
in Sydney<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
A GROUP of Papanui hiphop<br />
dancers are due to fly out<br />
to Sydney tomorrow for an<br />
international competition.<br />
Two dance crews from Zion<br />
Studios will compete at the World<br />
Supremacy Battleground International<br />
Championship this week.<br />
Head teacher<br />
Bronte Te Mete said<br />
Zion aims to create a<br />
positive environment<br />
for people.<br />
“We use dance as<br />
Bronte<br />
Te Mete<br />
a tool to build community<br />
and whanau<br />
and to build students<br />
up with life skills and positive<br />
mechanisms,” she said.<br />
The studio’s senior students<br />
competed in Hamilton at the<br />
World Supremacy Battleground<br />
qualifier recently and took out the<br />
secondary school-aged and open<br />
sections.<br />
“Both crews have been working<br />
tirelessly to create their own<br />
masterpieces to showcase on the<br />
world stage,” Miss Te Mete said.<br />
The competition runs over four<br />
days, with different workshops<br />
and classes around hip-hop<br />
culture and dance.<br />

Pupils urge community<br />
to help them recycle<br />
FENDALTON Open-Air School<br />
pupils are asking residents to<br />
hand over their toothbrushes<br />
and toothpaste tubes to help<br />
win a national recycling<br />
competition.<br />
The pupils are leading the war<br />
on waste by collecting all their<br />
old toothbrushes and saving<br />
them from landfill.<br />
They are taking part in the<br />
Colgate Community Garden<br />
Challenge. It is encouraging<br />
schools to register, collect and<br />
ship all their oral care waste to<br />
TerraCycle which will turn it<br />
into new products.<br />
The competition encourages<br />
pupils to learn about<br />
sustainability by seeing how<br />
waste which would normally be<br />
sent to landfill can be given a<br />
second life and made into a new<br />
product such as a garden bed.<br />
A recycled community garden<br />
set will be awarded to two<br />
schools, as well as a $300 Mitre<br />
10 voucher which can be used to<br />
buy seeds and plants.<br />
Rebecca Dalton, of Fendalton<br />
Open-Air School, said the<br />
pupils want to involve their<br />
entire community as part of<br />
their environmental education<br />
programme. The results<br />
achieved at last year’s Colgate<br />
Community Garden Challenge<br />
saw more than 50,000 pieces of<br />
oral care waste diverted from<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
landfill, with 331 schools signing<br />
up to the programme and 4000<br />
votes entered online.<br />

already realised that they can<br />
make a difference,” she said.<br />
The pupils have planted two<br />

PAPANUI BOXERS will<br />
compete for New Zealand titles<br />
at the national championships<br />
which start tomorrow in<br />
Hastings.<br />
Kwahli Beauchamp, Daniel<br />
Meehan and Sam Burdett-Clark<br />
will represent the Smiling Tigers<br />
gym, while Tom Westall and<br />
Ryan Entese will represent the<br />
Papanui Boxing Club in the<br />
20-strong Canterbury team.<br />
Canterbury and Smiling Tigers<br />
coach Mark Fuller believes he<br />
has athletes capable of bringing<br />
home some medals.<br />
Kwahli is the 14-year-old son<br />
of Canterbury professional Nort<br />
Beauchamp and is a current New<br />
Zealand champion in the under-<br />
40kg cadet grade.<br />
“He would be the most improved<br />
Canterbury boxer and<br />
while he’s a little short, he has<br />
one heck of a work-rate and has<br />
improved so much,” Fuller said.<br />
Meehan is chasing his third<br />
New Zealand title.<br />
Burdett-Clark has four silver<br />
medals at national level and<br />
Fuller said he is capable of earning<br />
his first national title.<br />
“He’s looking good, he broke<br />
his wrist earlier this year, but<br />
has come back, represented New<br />
Zealand and won a couple of<br />
fights here in Christchurch so<br />
he’s tracking well and is good<br />
enough.”<br />
Papanui no longer have their<br />
WINNER: Hard-working 14-year-old Kwahli Beauchamp will<br />
defend his under-40kg cadet title at the nationals in Hastings<br />
this week<br />

leader Sam Watt, who has retired<br />
after multiple national titles but<br />
Entese is a defending national<br />
champion in his own right.<br />
“In the cadets, Sutherland and<br />
Kwahli Beauchamp – they’ve<br />
had 25 to 30 fights now and the<br />
juniors Daniel Meehan, James<br />
Charlton and Blake Gibson all<br />
have 30 fights plus,” Fuller said.<br />
“We always aim to medal, but<br />
there are a few kids there that<br />
will need three bouts to earn a<br />
silver or gold but realistically<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
we should<br />
come back<br />
with a good<br />
haul. This is<br />
the pinnacle<br />
tournament<br />
of the year<br />
so they’’ll all<br />
be giving it<br />
everything. Mark Fuller<br />
“Byron<br />
Antal is a good lad, it’ll be a big<br />
step up and he’s keen to learn.”<br />
Weigh-ins were due to take<br />
place today.<br />
“It’s a good team and we<br />
always have expectations to<br />
perform well and to represent<br />
Canterbury well,” Fuller said.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Sweet vegan classics from Asia<br />
Try a vegan take on<br />
some Asian classics<br />
Indonesian crumpets<br />
Makes 20<br />
Ingredients<br />
250ml (1 cup) soy or coconut<br />
milk<br />
7g sachet dried active yeast<br />
1 tsp coconut sugar<br />
300g (2 cups) plain flour<br />
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda<br />
1 tsp sea salt<br />
1 tsp vanilla powder<br />
Olive oil or vegan butter, for<br />
greasing<br />
Suggested toppings:<br />
Coconut yoghurt, vegan butter,<br />
pure maple syrup, fresh berries,<br />
shredded basil leaves, dried<br />
edible flowers, hemp seeds, icing<br />
sugar.<br />
Directions<br />
Gently warm the soy or<br />
coconut milk and 250ml (one<br />
cup) of water in a saucepan<br />
over low heat until just warmed<br />
through (don’t warm the liquid<br />
too much or you will kill your<br />
yeast). Pour the liquid into a<br />
bowl and add the dried yeast<br />
and sugar. Set aside in a warm<br />
place for 15min or until the<br />
surface starts to foam. Sift the<br />
flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt<br />
and vanilla into a large bowl.<br />
Add the yeast mixture and stir to<br />
combine. Place a clean damp tea<br />
towel over the mixing bowl and<br />
set aside for 35-40min or until<br />
the mixture is risen and bubbly.<br />
Heat the oven to 100 deg C<br />
fan-forced. Lightly grease a large<br />
frying pan and set over mediumhigh<br />
heat, then lightly grease a<br />
few egg rings and place them in<br />
the pan.<br />
Stir the mixture again – it<br />
should look like thick, bubbly<br />
pancake batter. Add 60-125ml<br />
(¼ cup-½ cup) more water to<br />
reach the desired consistency if<br />
necessary.<br />
Spoon two to three<br />
tablespoons of the mixture into<br />
each egg ring. Cook for 2min<br />
or until the tops are completely<br />
covered in bubbles and the<br />
batter is dry. Remove the egg<br />
rings, transfer the crumpets<br />
to a heatproof plate and keep<br />
warm in the oven. Repeat with<br />
the remaining mixture to make<br />
about 20 crumpets.<br />
Serve the warm crumpets with<br />
your favourite toppings.<br />
Any leftover crumpets will<br />
keep in an airtight container in<br />
the fridge for two to three days<br />
or in the freezer for up to two<br />
weeks.<br />
Chana masala<br />
Serves 2<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 Tbsp avocado oil<br />
1 onion, diced<br />
400g can whole tomatoes<br />
400g can chickpeas, drained and<br />
rinsed (see tip)<br />
2 tsp coconut sugar<br />
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon<br />
juice, plus lemon wedges to serve<br />
Sea salt<br />
Chopped coriander leaves, to<br />
serve<br />
Steamed basmati rice or garlic<br />
Naan to serve<br />
Masala curry paste<br />
2-3 long red chillies, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped<br />
2 tsp ground cumin<br />
2-3cm piece of ginger, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp ground turmeric<br />
1/2 tsp sea salt<br />
1 tsp black peppercorns<br />
1 tsp garam masala<br />
1 tsp ground coriander<br />
1 tsp brown mustard seeds<br />
Directions<br />
Using a large mortar and<br />
pestle, pound the masala curry<br />
paste ingredients for about<br />
10min or until you have a<br />
smooth paste (alternatively,<br />
you can use a small food<br />
processor.)<br />
Heat a saucepan over medium<br />
heat, add the oil and curry paste<br />
and saute for 30sec.<br />
Add the onion and saute for<br />
2min, then stir through the<br />
tomatoes and chickpeas.<br />
Reduce the heat to low and<br />
simmer for 30min or until<br />
reduced to a thick curry.<br />
Remove the pan from the heat,<br />
stir through the sugar and lemon<br />
juice, then taste and add a little<br />
salt, if necessary.<br />
Sprinkle the chana masala<br />
with coriander and serve with<br />
steamed basmati rice or garlic<br />
naan on the side and lemon<br />
wedges for squeezing over.<br />
Tip: Keep your chickpea liquid<br />
(aquafaba) to make sriracha<br />
mayo or caesar dressing.<br />

Mike Davidson Standing for Councillor - Papanui Ward<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
As Councillor for the Papanui Ward I have<br />
been a strong supporter of local communities<br />
and businesses. I have focused on key city<br />
priorities including chlorine-free drinking water,<br />
improved roading and transport, and a healthy<br />
environment. I have been vocal against the<br />
rates increases and opposed the decision to<br />
chlorinate our drinking water.<br />
We have achieved a lot over the last three<br />
years, including the opening of Tūranga, the<br />
Town Hall, the Lichfield car parking building,<br />
Ngā Puna Wai sports complex and Taiora QEII,<br />
Signs of the Kiwi and Takahe and the St Albans<br />
Pavilion. We’ve completed the Dudley Creek<br />
flood works, the repair of the Redwood Plunket<br />
room, replanted the historic Papanui bush and<br />
retained the postal and bill services in Papanui.<br />
But there is still work to do. We must fight<br />
mantatory chlorination of our pristine and safe<br />
water, lower our carbon emissions and create<br />
a transport system that is safe and accessible<br />
for all. We must repair our damaged roads<br />
and footpaths and ensure our city remains<br />
affordable to live in.<br />
I have actively pushed for passenger rail to<br />
connect the city to our neighbouring districts<br />
and for public transport to come to CCC, so the<br />
bus service can actually work for us.<br />
I have the experience and a proven track<br />
record of standing up for our communities<br />
and living locally I know the opportunities and<br />
challenges we face.<br />
Local body elections are about local people<br />
not political parties and a vote for Mike<br />
Davidson is a vote for a strong, independent<br />
and local voice that will represent you and the<br />
Papanui Ward at the Council table.<br />

Nathan McCluskey Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Papanui Ward<br />
Hi, I’m Dr Nathan McCluskey and I’m<br />
standing for Council for Papanui. I live in<br />
Redwood with my wife Gina and 5 of our 6<br />
boys.<br />
I was born and grew up in the Papanui Ward<br />
attending Northcote Primary and Casebrook<br />
Intermediate Schools. With post-graduate<br />
degrees in political science and demography I<br />
bring an analytical mind to the table - because<br />
that’s my bread and butter. I spent ten years<br />
in the public sector working on large scale<br />
survey design. I currently own and operate<br />
my own research consultancy and know all<br />
about population data and how that can best<br />
translate into sound policy.<br />
My family and I are actively involved in the<br />
wider community in youth leadership and local<br />
sports.<br />
I’ve been the Chair of the Christchurch<br />
Central Labour Electorate Committee and<br />
with my educational expertise and experience<br />
working in the public sector and running my<br />
own business, I bring a suite of skills and<br />
knowledge to the table that will enable me to<br />
build the bridges necessary and break down<br />
the barriers to getting the job done.<br />
My campaign has the support of our Prime<br />
Minister and as part of a strong team, our<br />
policies are clear (rates restraint, infrastructure<br />
prioritisation, transport transformation,<br />
engagement improvement and environmental<br />
restoration) and we have the capacity to<br />
accomplish what Christchurch has struggled to<br />
achieve over the last decade. If you love your<br />
neighbour, vote for Labour and if you want<br />
something done, from dawn to dusky, vote<br />
McCluskey.<br />
Let’s do this!<br />

Peter McDougall Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Papanui Ward<br />
I am a member of Governance NZ, I bring<br />
over 20 years’ experience working in local and<br />
central government.<br />
I live in Elmwood. I am a member of the<br />
Graham Condon Sports Centre. My 9 year old<br />
son has his swimming lessons at GC and we do<br />
most of our regular shopping in the Northlands<br />
Mall.<br />
Christchurch can have and do more.<br />
We don’t have to choose between a new<br />
stadium, spending more on our infrastructure or<br />
investing more in social housing. Christchurch<br />
can have, and deserves, it all!<br />
But to afford it, a major rethink of how our City<br />
Council operates is required.<br />
Rates increases are currently out of control<br />
with no end in sight.<br />
CCC has now reached its debt ceiling.<br />
There hasn’t been the required investment in<br />
infrastructure.<br />
The East and our inner city are an<br />
embarrassment.<br />
Social Housing needs a significant immediate<br />
investment.<br />
It doesn’t have to be like this. However a<br />
major rethink of how our City Council operates<br />
is required.<br />
I believe we can achieve an immediate rates<br />
decrease followed by increases at no more than<br />
the rate of inflation.<br />
We can achieve this by Councillors and<br />
staff working closer together and focusing on<br />
delivering core services more efficiently and<br />
economically.<br />
In particular savings can be made by CCC<br />
reviewing its internal structure with a view to<br />
delivering core services under a different model,<br />
incorporating Citycare back into Council’s<br />
normal business operation and consider a<br />
partial sell down of some of Council’s major<br />
assets.<br />
Christchurch can have and do more.<br />

John Stringer Standing for Councillor - Papanui Ward<br />
JOHN STRINGER - Long time PAPANUI<br />
resident was elected to the Papanui-Innes<br />
community board in 2<strong>01</strong>6 and polled the most<br />
total votes in the ward (4926).<br />
He’s an independent advocate for Papanui:<br />
a member of Papanui Rotary; Papanui RSA;<br />
Papanui Club; Papanui Heritage Group;<br />
Papanui Community Networking Group; the<br />
“Neighbourly” forum Lead (Papanui); and<br />
worships at St Paul’s Papanui and Northcity<br />
church.<br />
John was walking the walk, long before<br />
others started to talk. He’s been in Papanui<br />
ward for 50 years.<br />
A masters degree in classics, John has<br />
been active in politics professionally and as<br />
a volunteer for over three decades (NZ and<br />
London). He’s an ex-Beehive press secretary<br />
and a published author (NZ, USA, Australia).<br />
Locally, he was instrumental in having the<br />
small Bridgestone reserve on Langdons Rd<br />
extended to a much larger viable totara native<br />
forest after existing voices said it could not<br />
be planted in trees; a strong advocate for the<br />
refurbishment of Papanui Bush, lost since 1850.<br />
John is married and has 5 adult children and<br />
4 grandchildren.<br />
“My most important election plank is RATES<br />
RESTRAINT. A 15% plus increase in our rates<br />
over the next term is a breach of the social<br />
contract with ratepayers!<br />
“I’m opposed to a CEO $500k salary (it’s<br />
too high) and would have preferred a local<br />
candidate already up to speed on the complex<br />
and unique issues related to Christchurch.<br />
“I oppose chlorination of our water and want<br />
less cycleway spending.<br />
“1.2b current council debt is too high.”<br />

Merav Benaia Standing for Community Board - Papanui Ward<br />
I’m running in this election so that the people<br />
living in our ward will get their roads and<br />
footpaths fixed properly, so we can have the<br />
transport system we need to meet the demands<br />
of an increasing population in a world facing<br />
climate crisis, so that we will have lights at our<br />
local parks for women to feel safe going through<br />
them at nightfall. I’m running so we have<br />
vibrant connected communities that embrace<br />
our differences yet amplify what makes us the<br />
same.<br />
These are things I have learned from talking<br />
to people and asking them what they want to<br />
have. These concerns are shared city wide –<br />
maintenance of roads, footpaths and parks,<br />
continued chlorination of our drinking water,<br />
lack of public transport, traffic safety and traffic<br />
volumes.<br />
As elected member I will continue doing that;<br />
asking people what they want and allowing<br />
those voices to be heard.<br />
I will bring a variety of experience to this<br />
role. I emigrated from Israel to NZ 15 years<br />
ago. I have a degree in Political Science and<br />
International Relations. My husband and I are<br />
owners of a small business. I’m also a mother of<br />
two teenage boys.<br />
Politics is about making a difference in<br />
people’s lives. Local body politics is about<br />
making a difference in our community, street,<br />
neighbourhood, city and region.<br />
I’m running in these elections because I want<br />
to know I did everything I can to make this city a<br />
place my children will choose to live in.<br />

Simon Britten Standing for Community Board - Papanui Ward<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
I run the Think Papanui community<br />
engagement initiative, and live in Redwood with<br />
my wife Andrea and three children. Since 2<strong>01</strong>1<br />
I have worked at Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi, a youth<br />
and community development organisation with<br />
a long history in Papanui.<br />
Previously I worked for Tait Communications<br />
in marketing management, and have<br />
volunteered with the Papanui Youth<br />
Development Trust. I have served on boards<br />
including the Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust,<br />
Pillars, and the Casebrook Intermediate School<br />
Board of Trustees (two years as chair). I am<br />
a Vodafone Foundation World of Difference<br />
recipient, which recognised my work on a<br />
transitional youth employment project. I have<br />
completed two Canterbury University courses<br />
for leaders in the community sector, and<br />
participated in local community leadership<br />
forums.<br />
I offer our community: independent<br />
representation; a track record running Think<br />
Papanui; local knowledge, and experience in<br />
community governance.<br />
I value a connected community that cares<br />
for all of its members, and I am passionate<br />
about contributing to Papanui. I’ve been running<br />
Think Papanui for three years now, and in<br />
that time have read the agenda and minutes<br />
for every meeting of our Community Board.<br />
I really appreciate the positive impact our<br />
Board makes, and would love the opportunity<br />
to contribute as a Board member - please<br />
support me with your vote. If you’d like to know<br />
more about my background and my policies,<br />

Lindon Boyce Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Innes Ward<br />
I am part of the Coalition of Independent<br />
Candidates supported by Darrell Park.<br />
Our policies may not all be the same but we<br />
do agree on one thing - our city is broken and<br />
something has to change, the only person who<br />
can this is YOU with your vote.<br />
The most important agenda we all agree on<br />
is that the Council is so badly managed that<br />
our basic core services, roads, water supplies,<br />
waste and general maintenance have been<br />
neglected for years in favour of local Councillor<br />
sponsored vanity projects including over<br />
engineered cycle lanes, statues, artworks and<br />
the complete mess that is our “Accessible City”<br />
- all paid for by unaffordable rates increases.<br />
These issues have affected us all through<br />
higher rents, increased housing costs and<br />
business expenses.<br />
Our Council has to be more efficient and<br />
less bureaucratic, return to prioritising the<br />
basic needs and not wants which can only be<br />
accomplished with the right team and people<br />
running our city.<br />
I was born and bred in St Albans. I attended<br />
Mairehau Kindy and Primary and swam at<br />
Edgeware pool for years - this is my home. The<br />
only reason I am standing for Councillor now is<br />
due to the lack of representation in the matters<br />
important to our city and community,<br />
I will personally represent you with your help.<br />
I have over 35 years experience building<br />
roads and repairing this same infrastructure. I<br />
have also worked within CCC as a Contractor<br />
for many years, I know many of its weaknesses<br />
and how these can be fixed. As a small<br />
business owner I know of the daily struggle just<br />
to survive some days.<br />
I don’t have an answer to climate change and<br />
other issues currently posted, these are not my<br />
strengths so I am not going to pretend to know<br />
otherwise, I am not a politician or politically<br />
motivated. I want whats best for our city.<br />
A vote for me is one for all of us, we can not<br />
continue the same way we have been.<br />

Cam Parsonson Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Innes Ward<br />
I ran for council because people keep telling<br />
me that civic resources just aren’t getting<br />
returned to the Innes ward.<br />
I make projects happen, developing projects<br />
in aquaculture, hospitality, retail, construction<br />
and others. I am an entrepreneur, with a<br />
masters in science from Canterbury University.<br />
I also hold an LBP as a licenced builder. I have<br />
also been employed as a mechanic , autoelectrician<br />
and as a food technologist.<br />
I have academic skills that are of value<br />
in delivering good governance in our local<br />
community. As a facilitator, mediator and<br />
project leader I understand how to activate<br />
and rise up community to complete projects<br />
and get results. Over the past two years I’ve<br />
developed an aquaculture business and gained<br />
a ‘transitional facility operator’ license from MPI<br />
which involved navigating complex biosecurity<br />
legislation.<br />
Right now the Innes ward needs leadership<br />
and governance that is focused on returning<br />
more civic assets to our area to enhance the<br />
amenity of our area and protect property values<br />
now and into the future.<br />
People consider me a ‘problem solver’ as I<br />
am often called upon to resolve complex issues<br />
and applying new technology to existing “dumb”<br />
infrastructure is a focus. I am skilled in finding<br />
new uses for old resources.<br />
A vote for me is a vote for practical common<br />
sense on council with a proven can do attitude<br />
and considerable general and scientific<br />
knowledge.<br />

Holly Chappell-Eason Standing for Community Board - Innes Ward<br />
As a proud 5th generation Cantabrian I’m<br />
driven to make a difference in our city. The<br />
opportunity to help make our community vibrant,<br />
active and safe is an exciting prospect.<br />
A strong community board should embrace<br />
diversity, sports, family, culture, public spaces<br />
and community groups. We need chlorine-free<br />
water and safe streets; a balance of pedestrians<br />
and cars, and functioning public spaces. We are<br />
a diverse and thriving community. We should be<br />
celebrating all of the different passions we have<br />
- what’s important to us. Let’s make Papanui-<br />
Innes ward a place we are proud to call home.<br />
My background in the arts, leadership and<br />
education means my greatest skill is listening.<br />
I will listen to what our community needs, I will<br />
always find a solution- creative problem solving<br />
is key. I love to work with groups and activate<br />
young people in particular to take ownership<br />
of the future of our city. My passion, drive and<br />
compassion will be an asset to the governance<br />
of our area.<br />
After living and working all over New Zealand<br />
it felt exciting and necessary to move home to<br />
Saint Albans, to start my family here, to be an<br />
active part of the rebuild. Now I want to take<br />
the next step; to have a hand in guiding our<br />
community and eventually our city. To be the<br />
voice of our community would be an absolute<br />
honour for me.<br />

Ali Jones Standing for Community Board re-election - Papanui-Innes Ward<br />
In the last six years and especially the last<br />
three, it is clear there is still plenty of work to<br />
do in the Innes Ward. With the experience,<br />
relationships and knowledge I have from the<br />
working on the Papanui Innes Community<br />
Board for the last six years, I can hit the<br />
ground running.<br />
For example, the Northern Corridor opens<br />
next year and there are significant roading<br />
projects that go with that; the roading renewal<br />
plans for Innes, traffic flow and congestion,<br />
safety around shops and schools - I have been<br />
living and breathing this as a community board<br />
member (board chair from 2<strong>01</strong>6-2<strong>01</strong>9) and city<br />
councillor (2<strong>01</strong>3-2<strong>01</strong>6) so I am up to speed.<br />
If you re-elect me, you’ll be getting a real<br />
advocate for communities and people, honesty,<br />
transparency and a very hard worker. I don’t<br />
play games and am a straight shooter.<br />
As the Innes area has had much invested<br />
from an infrastructure perspective (the Dudley<br />
diversion, Christchurch Northern Corridor and<br />
cycleways for example), the money spent<br />
in our ward has been significant but it has<br />
generally not been on community facilities and<br />
improving amenity – we must continue to fight<br />
for equity in our ward so that we can have the<br />
same facilities other parts of the city enjoy.<br />
Understanding how the Long Term Plan<br />
(City Council 10 year budgets) work is<br />
essential to putting our case – I totally get<br />
that and will do exactly that, if re-elected to<br />
the Papanui Innes Community Board, as your<br />
Innes representative.<br />
I am standing as an independent candidate<br />
as I will not make decisions based on anyone<br />
else’s philosophy or party line. Party politics<br />
should stay in Wellington and do not have a<br />
place in local government. We have a unique<br />
environment in Christchurch and I don’t believe<br />
our future should be held hostage for political<br />
gain.<br />

Paid Advertising Feature<br />
I am Aaron Keown, your councillor for the<br />
Harewood ward, and I represent you on the<br />
CDHB. I am proud to say I’m the chair of the<br />
CCC Disabilities Working Group. I am married<br />
with three children and we live here in the ward.<br />
I also own a small business that employs a<br />
handful of people and helps with growing the<br />
Event & Tourism industry in Christchurch.<br />
I have met many of you in my time as an<br />
elected member as I’m always contactable and<br />
I do my best to get good outcomes for our ward<br />
and the hard working rate payers that live here.<br />
My voting record shows I’ve been true to my<br />
word on a number of issues (traffic lights, rates,<br />
chlorine) and will speak up when something<br />
isn’t right. I’m outcome focused and constantly<br />
look for the best value for your money.<br />
The next three years requires a council<br />
that is going to be focused on the big issues.<br />
Firstly we have to keep rates down and I have<br />
not supported the recent huge increases. We<br />
have to fix our roads and get them back to pre<br />
quake quality within the next three years, not<br />
the planned 30 years. Finally we have to make<br />
sure the Christchurch economy is in a strong<br />
position to deliver a lifestyle we can aspire to for<br />
all residents.<br />

residents of Harewood so if you ever have<br />

Jason Middlemiss Standing for Community Board - Harewood Ward<br />
As a new father, I am stepping up to do my<br />
bit helping North West Christchurch to stay a<br />
great place for families to grow. My parents<br />
taught me when you play sports or participate<br />
in community groups, when you’re older it’s<br />
your turn to give back.<br />
I am running in Harewood because I love<br />
our neighbourhood and want to give back so<br />
my kid’s generation has the same opportunities<br />
we have living here. That requires a<br />
strong voice that works well with others to<br />
solve infrastructure issues, improve park<br />
maintenance and address traffic issues.<br />
We’ve got some challenges to address<br />
in the next few years like how we revitalise<br />
Bishopdale Mall, deal safely with increased<br />
traffic flows through Sawyers Arms and<br />
Harewood Road. Along with ensuring our parks<br />
and reserves like Styx Mill and the Groynes<br />
are continuing to be well looked after for our<br />
families to enjoy for years to come.<br />
Using my experience as a Chartered<br />
Accountant and perspective gained as a new<br />
parent, I offer you a representative that is<br />
competent and invested in the best outcomes<br />
for our community because my family is<br />
engaged in it on a daily basis. I’m always<br />
available to hear your concerns and feedback.<br />

Being a fifth generation Cantabrian, I have<br />
lived in the Fendalton Ward for most of my<br />

my passion and commitment to the community.<br />
I am stepping up again with two terms of<br />

Being one of the younger representatives,<br />

my previous terms and local knowledge.<br />
The issues that I’ll be addressing are<br />
threefold concerning sustainability: financial,<br />
social and environmental. These include<br />
the unsustainable rate-rises, removal of<br />
chlorination in our water, and continue to<br />

Sam MacDonald Standing for Councillor - Waimairi Ward<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
Does our community get value for money<br />
from the $27 million in rates we pay each<br />
year? Our roads, parks and water supply need<br />
improving, and we cannot afford more rate<br />
rises.<br />
As the Chairman of our local Community<br />
Board, I enjoy working on everyday issues and<br />
local projects. But the big problems we face<br />
– continuous rate rises, ballooning debt and<br />
deferred maintenance – are what I hear most<br />
about, and those problems can only be solved<br />
from the Council table.<br />
I am the only Council candidate running in the<br />
Waimairi Ward who lives and pays rates in our<br />
Ward, I understand our local issues.<br />
My Community Board experience here in<br />
the Waimairi Ward and work as a Chartered<br />
Accountant has given me both the local<br />
knowledge and professional skills to get better<br />
value for your ratepayer funds. I am asking for<br />
your vote to be your Councillor. As always, feel<br />

Dear Waimairi resident,<br />
Would you vote for someone residing in<br />
Auckland to be the Mayor of Christchurch? Of<br />
course not! The same applies for electing your<br />
Waimairi Community Board member.<br />
I am a LOCAL - I live and pay rates in<br />
Waimairi ward, and have done for over 17<br />
years. I am seeking re-election as your<br />
Community Board member for Waimairi Ward.<br />
Having completed my first term, I can say I<br />
have certainly enjoyed the role and was able<br />
to make a positive contribution. In particular,<br />
I immensely cherish the people-interaction<br />
aspect which this role entails, as well as being<br />
able to put rate-payers’ money to good use –<br />
for community groups as well as individuals;<br />
and for small and big projects which make<br />
our neighbourhood a better place to live for<br />
everyone.<br />
Over the past weeks, I have walked the<br />
streets of Waimairi ward and met many of you.<br />
If I could not meet you, you would have found<br />
my election flyer near your front door or in your<br />
letter-box.<br />
My sincere promise is that I will be your voice,<br />
your eyes and ears; for any and every matter,<br />
whether Council-related or other. I will work with<br />
the same passion, integrity, transparency and<br />
enthusiasm that I have demonstrated in the<br />
past years, and to continue to make a positive<br />
difference in the lives of people around me.<br />
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME as your Waimairi<br />

Aaron Campbell Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna<br />
As an independent candidate for ECan in<br />
Christchurch West- Ōpuna, I’m standing up<br />
for the future of water and our quality of life in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Cantabrians have been clear – we don’t want<br />
our precious, pure water given away or polluted<br />
with nitrates.<br />
As an independent, I’ve been clear from the<br />
start about what motivates me and what my<br />
goals are:<br />
· I’m a co-founding member of Aotearoa<br />
Water Action, formed to challenge ECan<br />
granting consents in Belfast for water bottling.<br />
· Nitrates in groundwater are a looming<br />
disaster for Christchurch and toxic levels are<br />
being recorded in rural Canterbury. ECan<br />
has enabled irrigation, dairy intensification on<br />
unsuitable soils.<br />
· Last year, I spoke out against the lobbying<br />
of government by Water NZ seeking mandatory/<br />
permanent chlorination and a new water<br />
regulator. The CCC quit Water NZ three weeks<br />
later.<br />
· ECan has overseen falling bus patronage<br />
and funding cuts, despite population growth. We<br />
need an accessible, affordable, zero-emission<br />
network. Everyone benefits when more people<br />
use public transport.<br />
I grew up on a sheep farm so I’m far from<br />
anti-farming. It is the responsibility of ECan to<br />
push for substantive change to the RMA, to<br />
protect our water and soils, the rural economy<br />
and restore biodiversity.<br />
As a company director, community board<br />
member and business mentor I have a solid<br />
background in governance and financial<br />
management.<br />
I’ve spoken out against water bottling,<br />
chlorination, nuisance quarry dust and I have<br />
supported measures reducing congestion,<br />
improving accessibility (disability) and promoting<br />
public transport.<br />

Megan Hands Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna<br />
As an environmental consultant I have<br />
an intimate understanding of the progress<br />
made and the work to be done to improve our<br />
water quality in Canterbury. As a new mum,<br />
I want our region to be the best place for<br />
young families like my own to live, work and<br />
explore. I have a Bachelor of Environmental<br />
Management and Planning, and qualifications<br />
in Nutrient Management and Agricultural<br />
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. I currently Cochair<br />
the Selwyn Te Waihora Zone Committee<br />
and am a member of the Institute of Directors.<br />
Environment Canterbury needs collaborative<br />
decision makers who use evidence, science<br />
and responsible spending to sustain our<br />
region’s economic growth and protect our<br />
environment. I fundamentally believe that<br />
economic growth and environmental protection<br />
can and must go together and that we should<br />
all be able to enjoy our great outdoors. With<br />
me as your Councillor you have a commitment<br />
to;<br />
1. Ensuring a healthy environment, safe<br />
drinking water and clean air while supporting<br />
our regional economy.<br />
2. Ensuring Biodiversity is protected,<br />
maintained and enhanced.<br />
3. Affordable and accessible public<br />
transport that aids the goal of a Carbon Zero<br />
Christchurch. I am open minded about who is<br />
best placed to manage this.<br />
4. Ensuring your ratepayer money is<br />
invested prudently.<br />
I am a genuinely independent candidate<br />
meaning you will get a Councillor committed<br />
to what is best for our grassroots Canterbury<br />
community and environment with a focus on<br />
ECan’s core business. I need your vote and<br />
would be honoured to be your ECan councillor<br />
for Christchurch West.<br />

Chrys Horn Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna<br />
We must protect and regenerate our precious<br />
water resources and our natural heritage, and<br />
find ways to lessen climate change and deal<br />
with climate disruption.<br />
We must improve public transport and<br />
increase its use around the city.<br />
We need the CCC and ECan to work together<br />
much more constructively than has recently<br />
been the case.<br />
I’m a team player who has worked for many<br />
years on environmental issues with a wide<br />
range of communities. We’ve solved problems<br />
and reached common goals by working together<br />
to make things happen. I’d like to see ECan<br />
working well with communities and with other<br />
councils to progress action on the issues above.<br />
I have a BSc in Botany, A masters in Parks<br />
and Recreation Management and a PhD in<br />
social science. For seven years I worked at<br />
Manaaki Whenua/ Landcare Research as a<br />
social researcher where I worked with science<br />
teams looking at a range of environmental<br />
issues. My work focused on helping<br />
communities to work together to understand<br />
the science, understand their problems and to<br />
develop solutions that were good for them and<br />
good for the local environment. I wanted to work<br />
more directly on these issues that I kept seeing,<br />
so I left, set up my own business and began<br />
working in my own community.<br />
Since the earthquakes, I been working in<br />
community development in the South West of<br />
Christchurch in response to the need that I saw<br />
there.<br />

Tēnā koutou,<br />
I want to be part of a new Environment<br />
Canterbury that secures better outcomes for<br />

It is achievable if those at the council table<br />

and explore land use opportunities that can<br />
regenerate our soil, enhance our water quality,<br />

I am driven to protect and enhance our<br />
unique natural and cultural heritage for future<br />
generations to enjoy. Having Ngāi Tahu,<br />
Ngāti Mutunga, English, Scottish and Welsh<br />
heritage, I understand the importance of<br />
balancing perspectives.<br />

in the environmental space with iwi, central<br />

companies to make sure we are making<br />
the best decisions for our people, land and<br />

Peter has considerable experience in the<br />
health sector having served as Deputy Chair of<br />
the Canterbury District Health Board and Chair<br />
of the West Coast District Health Board.<br />
Peter believes the health board has worked<br />
tirelessly to meet the needs of Cantabrians,<br />
but has been constrained by lack of funding<br />
.Peter considers that he is well placed to<br />
advocate strongly for equitable funding for our<br />
health needs in Canterbury. This, combined<br />
with efficiencies in service, will enable more<br />
funds to be available to meet the increased<br />
demands of health issues such as mental<br />
health, cancer and elective surgery in order to<br />
ensure that our communities get well, stay well<br />
and live well closer to home. Addressing the<br />
increasing needs of our ageing population is<br />
a continuing demand on our health services.<br />
There is also need to remove the capital<br />
charge, and progress the rate of our facility<br />
rebuilds to ensure our people receive timely<br />
and appropriate treatment in modern hospital<br />
facilities. He is very conscious of the safety and<br />
wellbeing of our health workforce which has<br />
been operating under tremendous pressure<br />
since the earthquakes while continuing to<br />
maintain high standards of service.<br />
Peter was previously a partner in the<br />
international consulting firm Deloitte. He<br />
currently serves on the CDHB Quality, Finance,<br />
Audit, and Risk Committee and on the<br />
University of Canterbury Council.<br />
A life long Cantabrian, Peter is a greatgrandson<br />
of John Ballantyne, founder of<br />
Ballantynes Department Store. Peter’s wife<br />
Claire worked as a registered nurse with<br />
the CDHB and his daughter is a Consultant<br />

Lianne Dalziel Christchurch Mayor - Standing for re-election<br />
Re-elect Lianne Dalziel Mayor<br />
“I love Christchurch and am confident about our<br />
future. With my experience and inclusive style<br />
of leadership, we can tackle any challenges that<br />
lie ahead, while seizing every opportunity that<br />
comes our way.”<br />
It is vital we keep the momentum going.<br />
My immediate priorities are:<br />
Water: Investment in our infrastructure will<br />
deliver pure water safely to your home. I<br />
will fight Government-imposed mandatory<br />
chlorination.<br />
Rates: I will bring rates rises down while<br />
ensuring continued infrastructure investment,<br />
and balancing council debt and inflation.<br />
Central City: A vibrant city centre is essential.<br />
Having secured $300m for Christchurch, the<br />
stadium will be a multi-use facility. I will continue<br />
to back the developers leading the way.<br />
Sustainability: I am committed to reducing our<br />
city’s carbon footprint, and helping communities<br />
prepare for the impacts of climate change.<br />
Eastern Alliance: An alliance of contractors will<br />
deliver a fully integrated programme of works<br />
across the east, fixing the roads, footpaths and<br />
pipes and building stopbanks.<br />

John Minto Standing for Christchurch Mayor<br />
I am standing as a KOA (Keep our Assets<br />
Canterbury) candidate for mayor because we<br />
want a future for Christchurch which makes<br />
sense.<br />
The city faces three big challenges: a<br />
climate emergency, a water supply threatened<br />
by contaminants and many people struggling<br />
on poverty incomes without dignity or selfrespect.<br />
Our policies are to reduce greenhouse<br />
gas emissions with free and frequent public<br />
transport; provide a local zone for Canterbury<br />
businesses and co-operatives in the city<br />
centre; rebuild the 400 council rental homes<br />
destroyed in the earthquakes; future-proof<br />
our water supply and develop a plan for<br />
swimmable rivers; rate increases kept to the<br />
rate of inflation and a minimum of the living<br />
wage for all council work.<br />
As well as significantly reducing our<br />
greenhouse gas emissions, fare-free public<br />
transport will create a more cohesive, less<br />
divided city as people mix and mingle on<br />
modern, low-emission buses with free wifi.<br />
It will also save families approximately four<br />
weeks pay per year in transport costs which<br />
will be spent in the local economy giving a<br />
boost to local businesses and co-operatives.<br />
This policy will not increase rates because<br />
it will be paid for from existing government<br />
budgets by rebalancing transport funding away<br />
from new roads in favour of public transport.<br />
These policies will improve our lives while<br />
saving the council money. More details are at<br />

What I’m standing for<br />
I am standing as a Mayoralty candidate for<br />
Christchurch in the upcoming elections. I am<br />
campaigning to ‘Move Christchurch Forward’,<br />
with a focus on common sense, a back to basics<br />
approach and better ways to move us forward.<br />
Why am I doing this?<br />
Quite simply, I want to restore public trust in<br />
Christchurch’s local leadership and with your<br />
help, do what’s needed to be done to make<br />
Christchurch, New Zealand’s most liveable city.<br />
This will mean being accountable and<br />
transparent to you, the voter, ratepayer, resident<br />
and business community. Our key areas of<br />
focus are rates, water, infrastructure, tourism,<br />
sustainability, institutions and events, crime and<br />
communities. I will be revealing our policies over<br />
the coming weeks.<br />
There is much to be done, and if elected, I will<br />
stand aside from my current business interests<br />
and governance roles to ensure my focus on this<br />
city is absolute.<br />
Thank you for your interest, and if you want to<br />
help move Christchurch forward, I look forward<br />
to your vote.<br />

Hydrate to elevate<br />
We all know drinking water is important, but the<br />
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though<br />
we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look<br />
at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a<br />
few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable.<br />
With over a quarter of Kiwis<br />
consuming less than two glasses of<br />
water a day and only 5% drinking<br />
more than the recommended eight, the<br />
message obviously hasn’t hit home on<br />
the importance of hydrating our body.<br />
A recent survey conducted by<br />
SodaStream found that Cantabrians<br />
are particularly guilty when it comes to<br />
their water intake.<br />
With 82% drinking less than six<br />
glasses of water a day, but with over 85%<br />
admitting they feel healthier when they<br />
drink more water, something needs to<br />
be done to bridge the gap in terms of<br />
what we know to be true and what we’re<br />
actually doing about it.<br />
This same survey revealed that<br />
although 41% of us limit how many soft<br />
drinks we consume due to our concerns<br />
over sugar content, the same number<br />
of people said tea or coffee is this their<br />
number one drink of choice.<br />
Some people even believe that the<br />
water consumed in their cup of Joe<br />
constitutes part of their water intake.<br />
This is a fallacy.<br />
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as<br />
does alcohol too, it means we need to<br />
drink even more water to compensate.<br />
Not so surprisingly the reason we<br />
don’t drink nearly enough water is that<br />
we simply forget. Now with apps you<br />
can download direct to your smart<br />
phone, there are no more excuses.<br />
Further studies proved that people<br />
who had a SodaStream machine in their<br />
homes were more likely to drink more<br />
water.<br />
In fact, the study showed that people<br />
drank 30% more water.<br />
For those of us who aren’t used to<br />
drinking water like it’s going<br />
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways<br />
to increase the fun factor while still<br />
being healthy.<br />
After<br />
Before<br />
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a<br />
SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice<br />
or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive<br />
impact on our health and wellbeing.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />
Cleansed and cured?<br />
Many common health problems can<br />
all be easily solved with one simple<br />
approach according to a leading New<br />
Zealand Medical Herbalist Brett Elliott.<br />
He found in his clinical practice that<br />
most of his clients have similar common<br />
health complaints and that it all could be<br />
traced back to digestive disorders. Did<br />
you know up to 50% of the population<br />
suffer from common health conditions<br />
like; chronic constipation, acid reflux,<br />
bloating, gas, ulcers, irritable bowel<br />
syndrome, crohn’s disease, coeliac<br />
disease, haemorrhoids, gallstones,<br />
cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure,<br />
abdominal weight gain, skin complaints<br />
and many more and can all come back to<br />
a poor digestive system.<br />
He wanted to find a simple solution<br />
everyone could use to support their<br />
bodies natural healing without the side<br />
effects of pharmaceutical medications<br />
that often only ease or cover the<br />
symptoms without healing as well as<br />
often having many side effects. Brett<br />
knew everything in the body depends on<br />
the digestive system working properly<br />
and so went about developing “The<br />
Ultimate Herbal Detox Body Cleanse<br />
Program” a simple to use two week<br />
program. It not only supports the whole<br />
digestive system but also helps cleanse<br />
the entire body of toxins and parasites.<br />
The program contains four different<br />
all herb formulas all in capsule form<br />
that need to be taken twice daily. These<br />
capsules can be blended into a smoothie<br />
if you prefer. Colon-aid is designed to<br />
support a healthy bowel movement,<br />
increases the secretion of gastric<br />
juices and bile and promote appetite<br />
and digestion. Digez-aid soothes and<br />
stimulates healthy<br />
digestion and<br />
absorption of<br />
vital nutrients.<br />
Sym-lax is a<br />
bulking fibre to<br />
cleanse and heal<br />
the intestines<br />
and bowels. It<br />
also makes you<br />
feel less hungry.<br />
Liva-food is the<br />
final nutrient<br />
rich formula to<br />
support a healthy<br />
liver function.<br />
It supports<br />
detoxing the<br />
body of toxins<br />
and heavy<br />
metals.<br />
The program supports the bodies’<br />
organs to do their job. The formulas are<br />
New Zealand made and contain a total<br />
of 24 high potency herbs making it quite<br />
possibly the most comprehensive “do<br />
it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse<br />
program in the world. Brett has refined<br />
the formula over 20 years and has now<br />
sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He<br />
regularly receives incredible feedback<br />
from users with many re-doing the<br />
program once or twice yearly.<br />
With toxic overload and many<br />
diseases sky-rockerting now is the<br />
time to make a positive change by<br />
cleansing, nourishing and helping build<br />
your body to a better health.<br />

organ function so health could be restored & so included<br />
natural herbs in the program to achieve this. Brett has<br />
refined the program over 20 years & has now sold over<br />
100.000 kits world-wide. He regularly receives incredible feedback from users.<br />
