$1.8 million 

approved for 

contentious 

Main North Rd 

bus lanes 

• By Claire Booker 

FUNDING HAS finally been 

confirmed for the contentious bus 

lanes on Main North Rd. 

The $1.8 million project, which 

was scheduled to start in July, will 

see bus lanes put in between Winston 

Ave and Grassmere St. 

Work on the project is now expected 

to start early next year and 

should take about four months to 

complete. 

The issue of bus lanes on Main 

North Rd has been contentious 

since it was first raised in 2017 

when it was revealed the project 

would mean a loss of on-street 

parking for businesses between 

Harewood Rd and Winston Ave. 

The other concern for residents 

was the turning movements at the 

intersection of Grassmere St and 

Main North Rd. Both of these key 

issues were mitigated by altering 

where the bus lanes would start 

and approving traffic signals. 

Improvements will include a 

full-time bus lane running north 

from Winston Ave to Grassmere 

St, a signalised intersection at 

Grassmere St, walking and biking 

improvements, layout change to 

the Northlands Shopping Centre 

car park entrance and more trees 

on Main North Rd.

Tina ‘wows’ at awards show 


ST ALBANS designer Tina 

Hutchison-Thomas ‘wowed’ the 

judges at the annual World of 

WearableArt competition, taking 

out third place in the mythology 

section. 

Mrs Huthchison-Thomas is 

the only Christchurch designer 

to have won an award 

this year, and last year 

she won the New Zealand 

Design Award. 

“Only in New 

Zealand would you 

get the opportunity 

to compete against 

international talent 

from the confines of 

your garage,” she said. 

This year’s WearableArt 

awards show 

featured 108 finalist garments by 

115 designers from 22 countries 

and regions competing for a 

share of more than $180,000 in 

prizes. 

Mrs Hutchison-Thomas’ garment 

The Moirai- the Shape of 

Us, was made up of three different 

garments based on Roman 

and Greek mythology, where the 

Moirai are three sisters of fate or 

destiny.

velvet because I know it floats 

beautifully on stage. The detailing 

this year is laser cut felt and 

a free-motion embroidery technique 

I created,” she said. 

Mrs Hutchison-Thomas 

first learnt to sew at Cobham 

Intermediate when she was 11, 

and now she is renowned on the 

WearableArt stage. 

The winner of 

the mythology section 

this year was a 

designer from the 

United States, and the 

second prize went to a 

Taiwanese designer. 

This year the 115 

finalist designers were 

presented with six 

design briefs, which 

subsequently, form 

the six worlds of the 

stage show. 

Three of these thematic worlds 

are recurring - Aotearoa, Avantgarde 

and Open, and three 

are new for 2019 - Mythology, 

Transform and White. 

Dame Suzie Moncrieff, WoW 

founder and resident judge said 

each year gets harder to judge as 

there are so many outstanding 

entries. 

“I have been astounded by the 

wide range of materials used 

and the intricacy and originality

GREEN LIGHT: After a more 

than two-year process, NZTA 

has approved funding for the 

Main North Rd bus priority 

project. 

Council will 

pay for half 

of the costs 

•From page 1 

Last week, the NZ Transport 

Agency told Nor’west News funding 

was originally considered 

unlikely in the current 2018-2021 

period. 

“After the recent review and 

reprioritisation of National Land 

Transport Programme projects, 

funding was agreed to,” an NZTA 

spokesman said. 

The bus lane project has been 

a key topic of debate between 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Mike Davidson and Papanui- 

Innes Community Board member 

John Stringer, who have opposing 

views on the project. 

The project was approved by 

the city council in October last 

year, which will pay for half of the 

project costs. 

Community pantry in high demand 


FOOD IS flying off the shelves 

of a community pantry in an 

Edgeware park. 

The community pantry in 

Packe St park is an initiative 

started by the Edgeware Korean 

Presbyterian Church and the 

Packe Street Park and Community 

Garden group. 

The two groups joined forces 

to find a way for surplus food to 

be used for people in need in the 

community. 

The pantry is stocked every 

week or 10 days, and overnight, 

the food is gone. 

The park already had a book 

and plant exchange operating, 

and one of the park co-ordinators, 

Helen Kidd suggested the 

group should collaborate with 

Italian racing experience for 12-year-old karter

The young karter qualified for 

the superfinal by winning New

sprint championship. He then 

qualified a second time by winning 

the New Zealand ROK cup 

championship, an accumulation 

of points across four New Zealand 

events, becoming the first 

Kiwi competitor to secure both 

superfinal qualifying entries.

Hawke’s Bay karter Tom 

Bewley was runner-up to Louis 

in the ROK Cup, and therefore 

earned the second Superfinal 

entry in the Vortex Mini ROK 

category. 

This is Louis’ first European 

competition and the young 

champion says he’s very excited 

and a little bit nervous. He’s put 

in plenty of groundwork, watching 

races at the South Garda 

used already. Food items donated 

and put in the fridge go

Racing Mainland Series title at 

KartSport Canterbury just prior 

to departing for Italy. 

“I’ve been watching previous 

year’s finals and think I’ve 

worked out where to pass on this 

circuit,” he said. 

Louis’ main goal is to reach 

the A final with the top 30 competitors 

– the finals take place on 

in abundance, we expect it to be 

very well used,” Ms Kidd said. 

Jaehee Kim is the community 

ministry leader at the church, 

which has been in St Albans for 

16 years. 

Mrs Kim said the idea came 

about because the church wanted 

to give to the community and 

provide a space to share food. 

“We noticed the food has been 

taken very quickly. It confirmed 

to us that there are needs in the 

community. We recently have 

received more donations to the 

pantry, but we still need more. 

Through the community pantry 

we hope to develop community 

spirit to grow together,” she said. 

Ms Kidd said volunteers from 

both groups have come together 

for working bees to support each 

other.

“The track looks to be very fast 

and I will need to qualify well 

to have a chance of making the 

A final. I’m in a good team with 

the Parolin AV Racing team who 

have won it in previous years. 

I can’t wait; it will be so much 

fun,” said Louis. 

Ultimately, he would like to 

go all the way to formula 1 or 

IndyCars. 

Bupa Bethesda Care Home 

welcomes new 

dementia community 

As Bupa Bethesda Care Home’s 

Chris McCulloch, Care Home 

Manager and Mark Bravo, Unit 

Coordinator take families on tours of 

their new dementia community, their 

smiles show a team full of pride in their 

new development. They have much to be 

proud of, the 20 bed dementia community 

has opened recently, welcoming four 

residents already. 

With 70,000 Kiwis living with dementia, 

Alzheimers New Zealand predicts the 

number will increase to more than 

170,000 by 2050. Earlier this year, Bupa 

was named the first aged care provider 

to receive the national Dementia Friendly 

Award from Alzheimers New Zealand. 

Chris says the Christchurch community 

has been asking for more focus on 

dementia and the new Bethesda 

community goes some way to fulfilling the 

need for more dementia specialist care. 

“We’re really pleased to have this 

new community for people living 

with dementia. It’s a safe and warm 

environment with gardens surrounding 

the rooms and comfortable lounge areas 

for families and residents to relax. I’m sure 

people will be very comfortable here,” 

Chris says. 

More good news for Bupa Bethesda as 

the care home recently received its third 

consecutive four year accreditation from 

the Ministry of Health. 

“I’m so proud of the team here, they work 

so hard for the residents and our track 

record speaks for itself,” Chris added.

Climate issue leads to award Special October 

events for cyclists 


EMMA TAYLOR’S generation 

is full of leaders striking for 

climate action, and she used this 

passion to create a science fair 

entry. 

The 17-year-old St Margaret’s 

College pupil placed third-best at 

the NIWA Canterbury-Westland 

Schools Science Fair. 

More than 200 students from 

26 schools entered the event held 

at Canterbury University. 

Emma’s entry focused on the 

impact of ocean acidification 

and the entry explored how 

pH and temperature affect 

the concentration of calcium 

carbonate that green-lipped 

mussel shells leach. 

“I wanted to do a project 

that would have a real-world 

application. Climate change 

and ocean acidification affect 

us all, especially here in New 

Zealand with our primary 

industries and the communities 

they support. New Zealand’s 

territory is largely ocean with it 

playing an important part in our 

culture and heritage. We have 

a responsibility to care for it,” 

Emma said. 

This year was Emma’s first 

time entering the science section 

of the fair, but she entered the 

technology section in 2017. 

Her entry took months of 

CONCERNED: Emma Taylor won third-best in fair at the NIWA 

Canterbury-Westland Schools Science Fair for her entry on 

ocean acidification and its impacts. 

‘Climate change and ocean 

acidification affects us all.’ 

– Emma Taylor 

work totalling about 30 hours to 

complete the entry. 

Emma said climate change is a 

huge issue for young people. 

“Around the world, young people 

have been at the forefront of 

the voices that call for measures 

to avert climate change. Our 

generation is becoming more and 

more environmentally concerned 

and proactive,” she said. 

Emma chose to focus her 

science fair entry on greenlipped 

mussels because the 

seafood industry is an important 

primary industry for New 

Zealand. 

She said because greenlipped 

mussels live close to the 

shoreline, they are particularly 

vulnerable to our changing temperature. 

Thomas James from Burnside 

High School won best in fair, 

and Rātā Airey and Petra Arthur 

from Cashmere High School 

placed second. 

CHRISTCHURCH cyclists will 

spin their wheels for Biketober 

and get involved in special events 

across the city. 

More experienced cyclists will 

be able to join the Canterbury 

Mountain Bike Club on a social 

ride around Bottle Lake Forest 

on Sunday. 

Keener participants will have 

from the start of Biketober until

Photo hunt keeps the past alive 

THE ARTS Centre as we know it 

has been part of Christchurch’s 

landscape for generations – 

but this glimpse of one of its 

buildings standing alone on a 

dusty unpaved road is unfamiliar 

to many of us. 

From 1877 until the mid-1950s, 

the Arts Centre was buzzing 

with students, as Canterbury 

College (now Canterbury 

University) and Christchurch 

Girls’ and Boys’ High Schools 

used the buildings as a campus at 

various times. 

The buildings were transferred 

to the Arts Centre Trust Board 

when Canterbury University 

completed its move to Ilam in the 

1970s. 

Designed by prominent 

architect Benjamin Mountfort, 

this Gothic Revival tower served 

as the Observatory and Biology 

building, with a telescope gifted 

by James Townsend located in 

the Observatory right at the top 

when this photo was taken. 

The historic Townsend 

Telescope, a six-inch refractor 

made by Thomas Cooke and 

Sons of York, England, in 1864, 

was recovered from the rubble of 

the Arts Centre tower after the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

The Arts Centre and 

Canterbury University plan to 

restore the building and the 

telescope. 

HISTORY: This photo of the Observatory, Canterbury College, 

circa 1895, was entered in the 2013 Christchurch City Libraries’ 

Photo Hunt. 

The Beca Christchurch 

Heritage Festival 2019 starts 

on Monday and this year, as 

part of the festival, Christchurch 

City Libraries will celebrate 10 

years of the Christchurch Photo 

Hunt. 

Over the past decade, the photo 

hunt has collected hundreds of 

great photos like this one, and 

Christchurch City Libraries 

hopes people will dust off their 

collections and unearth some 

more treasures. 

The photo hunt competition 

runs from now until October 31. 

Your photo hunt photos will be 

carefully scanned and preserved 

as part of the Christchurch City 

Libraries’ collection. 

They will then be loaded 

onto the Discovery Wall at 

CELEBRATION: To check

Heritage Festival events taking

$1500 raised 

for breast 

milk bank 

A QUIZ fundraiser has raised 

more than $1500 for the Rotary 

community breast milk bank. 

The bank, based at St George’s 

hospital in Merivale, is the only 

centre in New Zealand to supply 

pasteurised donor breast milk to 

babies in need outside the neonatal 

unit. 

More than 150 babies have 

been supported with the “liquid 

gold” since the bank’s opening 

last year. 

The service is run entirely 

by volunteers, with mothers 

donating their excess breast 

milk. 

The milk bank runs entirely 

on community support, 

therefore fundraising is 

required to meet the annual 

operating costs of $30,000. 

The Rotary Club of New 

Horizons held the quiz night at 

the Elmwood Trading Co and 

more than 100 participants went 

along to support the cause. 

Anna Bush, president of 

Rotary Christchurch New 

Horizons was grateful with the 

amount raised for the cause. 

“This is thanks to the 

generosity of those who 

participated in the quiz,” she 

said.

LOCALLY OWNED 

SINCE 1964 

Smiths Mitre 10 all started in 1964, when Reg Smith 

began trading as a coal merchant at 3 Waimairi Rd. 

Over time Reg expanded these humble beginnings 

into a complete hardware store, joining the Mitre 10 

group in 1981. 

Reg opened a second store in Farrington Ave, 

Bishopdale in 1983. The store expanded a couple of 

times on the same site, before moving into an old 

supermarket site at 135 Farrington Ave in 1988. It 

didn’t take long for this store to become over flowing 

with products, so it was excellent timing when in 

1998 the old Farmers building next door became 

available, tripling the size of the store. 

The Smiths were looking for a larger site again when 

the earthquakes badly damaged the Sanitarium 

buildings, leading to a shortage of Marmite. 

Sanitarium and Smiths came up with an agreement to 

share the site for a number of years, so Marmite could 

be continued to be made and a MEGA store built. In 

2017 the production of Marmite in Christchurch had 

discontinued and the space now became available 

for the existing Mitre 10 Mega store to develop larger. 

October 2019 saw the expansion complete on the 

existing site. The retail hall has increased by 30% with 

6,850 additional products, the outdoor garden area 

has doubled. Also having a fully functional Columbus 

café installed means 54 Harewood road is even more 

MEGA than ever and we are all really excited to show 

you the new store, after 36 years in the making. 

Papanui Mega is the sister store to Mitre 10 Mega 

Hornby and Mitre 10 Beckenham.

In your 

neighbourhood 

So much Moore than 

just a drycleaners 

Moores Drycleaners on Papanui Road 

is so much more than just a drycleaning 

business - it is part of the fabric of Merivale 

itself. Their terrific customer service, 

expertise and highly-professional standards 

have seen them succeed on the same spot 

for over half a century. In fact, it is the 

oldest business still operating in the same 

location in Merivale, and also is the oldest 

family-owned and operated drycleaners 

in the whole of 

Canterbury. 

What makes it 

such a local success? 

Owner Greg Moore’s 

father began Moores 

Drycleaning back in 

1961 and Greg joined 

him straight out of 

school. Having been 

there ever since, his 

own knowledge is 

unparalleled, and it is 

the focus on meeting 

the needs of customers 

that makes them stand 

out. These days, his daughter has joined the 

team, making her the third generation to work 

in the business. 

Their focus is on providing a terrific 

service to local clients and meeting all their 

drycleaning needs. Whether you are spring 

cleaning and want to freshen up all your 

drapes, duvets and bedding, or have toughto-remove 

spots, they are on hand to help. 

They will make sure that garments such as 

suits and dresses look as good as new when 

they return them to you, and they are experts 

at working with delicate fabrics in evening 

gowns and cocktail dresses. They are also 

the go-to drycleaners for wedding dresses, 

recommended by many of the region’s bridal 

salons to their new brides. In fact, they are 

just about the largest drycleaners for wedding 

dresses in the south island. 

In spite of their long tradition in this 

industry, Moores Drycleaning have moved 

with the times. They now have an ecocleaning 

machine which uses a solution of 

plant extracts as its cleaning agent which is 

far friendlier to the environment. In fact, 

they have been leading greener approaches 

to drycleaning as they have been recycling 

for over 40 years, their plastic bags are 

biodegradable and their coat-hangers are 

manufactured from recycled plastic which 

they encourage their customers to recycle and 

return. 

You can find them at 178 Papanui Road, 

where they are open six days a week (closed 

Sundays) or give them a call at 03 355 5942. 

They will be happy to help.

Pithie, CBHS claim national road titles 

SPORT 

• By Jacob Page 

LAURENCE PITHIE showed his class in 

leading the way for the Christchurch Boys’ 

High School road cycling team at the 

nationals at Feilding last week. 

Pithie won two gold medals at the 

junior track world championships in Germany 

last month and appeared to have no 

trouble switching back to the road. 

He helped CBHS retain the Sir Bernard 

Fergusson Trophy in winning the under-20 

team time trial and then he won 

individual gold in the under-20 points 

race and road race respectively. 

Christchurch Boys’ clocked 23min 

38.97sec for the 16km loop, holding off 

the efforts of the Cambridge Boys’ High 

School combination by just 0.031sec – the 

blink of an eye. Palmerston North Boys’ 

High School were third at 16sec behind. 

Long time mentor Gary McNaughton 

said he was thrilled with the performance. 

“These boys have been with me since 

year nine and I have seen them grow into 

fine young men. For them to go back to 

back is an amazing feeling, with four riders 

at the end finishing the job,” he said. 

“The friendship and camaraderie 

amongst themselves, their coaches and 

with me means I consider them family.” 

The success continued for Christchurch 

Boys’ High School. 

It proved a triple treat for the double 

junior track world champion Pithie who 

has quickly picked up his form on the 

WINNERS AGAIN: The CBHS under-20 road cycling team have won their 

age-group title for the second consecutive year. PHOTO: CBHS CYCLING 

road since his brilliant efforts on the track 

in Germany last month. 

Pithie edged under-19 national representative 

Xander White (Cambridge 

High) and fellow Madison world champion 

Kiaan Watts (Hamilton Boys) in a 

sprint finish in the road race. 

There was more solid team work from 

his Christchurch Boys’ High teammates 

in the under-20 Points Race for Pithie

bright future in cycling. 

to dominate the sprints with 12 points 

ahead of Watts and Jensen Foster (Saint 

Kentigern). 

It was made doubly challenging as rain 

fell with the high winds for the boy’s race, 

which was reduced from 12 to seven laps. 

“It was treacherous conditions so I went 

hard as I knew I could put some pressure 

on from the start,” he said. 

“The Christchurch Boys’ High boys got 

around me towards the end and helped 

me bring it home. 

“We started off the weekend taking 

home the gold in the team time trial 

which set-up the boys well and we were 

all in good spirits. And we had a couple 

of boys away in the break today – Griffin 

Spencer and Guy Yarrell – and it all 

played out well to bring it into a sprint on 

the final lap and I took it from there.” 

Nearly 600 riders from 84 schools 

took part in the 52nd annual schools 

championship, staged over three days.

Tasty Bites 


Cooking with what is in season 

Lemons and fennel are in 

season and they make a 

perfect partnership. This 

subtle combination works 

beautifully on its own 

as a light dinner or will 

accompany seafood, pork 

and lamb 

Lemon and fennel risotto 

Ingredients 

1500ml vegetable stock, hot 

2 lemons 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

1 Tbsp butter 

2 shallots 

1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed 

3 bulbs fennel, sliced thinly and 

tops reserved 

400g risotto rice, such as arborio 

or carnaroli 

200ml dry white wine 

100g parmesan cheese, finely 

grated 

1 cup fennel fronds 

½ purple olives, stones removed 

50ml olive oil 

sea salt and cracked pepper 

Directions 

Bring the stock to the boil. In a 

medium-sized saucepan, heat the 

oil and butter, add fennel seeds 

and shallots and cook gently 

for 3min. Add the sliced fennel 

bulbs and cover with a lid and 

cook for about 15min until the 

fennel has softened and become 

sweet and fragrant. 

Add the zest of one lemon and 

juice from half. 

Add the rice and stir well so 

the rice gets coated. Cook until 

the rice becomes lightly toasted. 

Add wine and stir well until it 

has been absorbed into the rice. 

Ladle the hot stock in one ladle 

at a time. Stir well between each 

addition so the rice sucks up the 

stock and becomes creamy. 

Continue until the rice is 

tender and creamy and the sauce 

around the rice is thick and silky. 

If too thick, loosen with a little 

more stock, or if too runny cook 

out for a little longer. You may or 

may not need all the stock. 

Adjust the seasoning and 

finish by adding half the grated 

parmesan and stir to combine. 

To make the fennel and olive 

dressing, chop the fennel fronds 

and add to the olives and zest of 

one lemon. 

Stir together, add the olive 

oil and enough lemon juice to 

balance the dressing. 

To serve the risotto, spoon 

on to your plate, sprinkle over 

a little more grated parmesan. 

Spoon over a little fennel and 

olive dressing. 

Save your ripe bananas 

to make this sweet after 

dinner treat 

Banana loaf 

Ingredients 

140g butter, softened, plus extra 

for the tin 

140g caster sugar 

2 large eggs, beaten 

140g self-raising flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

2 ripe bananas, mashed 

50g icing sugar 

Handful dried banana chips, for 

decoration 

Directions 

Heat oven to 180 deg C. 

Butter a 900g loaf tin and line 

the base and sides with baking 

parchment. 

Cream 140g softened butter 

and 140g caster sugar until light 

and fluffy, then slowly add two 

beaten large eggs with a little of 

the 140g flour. 

Fold in the remaining flour, 

one tsp baking powder and two 

mashed bananas. 

Pour into the tin and bake 

for about 30min until a skewer 

comes out clean. 

Cool in the tin for 

10min, then remove to a wire 

rack. 

Mix 50g icing sugar with twothree 

tsp water to make a runny 

icing. 

Drizzle the icing across the top 

of the cake and decorate with a 

handful of banana chips.
