Battle over
plan to
open new
liquor shop
heats up
• By Claire Booker
THE LAST thing some Fendalton
residents want on their doorstep is
a liquor store within 1km of four
primary schools.
Manpreet Kaur and her
husband have applied for an
off-license to sell liquor at 5
Memorial Ave, next to Fendalton
Takeaways.
There was standing room only
at Fendalton Open-air School
last week, where more than 50
members of the community
attended a meeting to discuss
their concerns over the proposed
liquor store.
Isobel Anderson lives next to
the site and is leading the charge
to stop the liquor store licence
being granted.
“We don’t want a liquor store in
our area. There is too much harm
of alcohol, I just don’t think it’s
suitable,” she said.
About 50 written objections
have already been submitted to
the city council, and residents
have until tomorrow to send their
views.

Merivale restaurant takes top award
• By Claire Booker
MERIVALE’S NO.4 Bar and
Restaurant took the top honour
at the Hospitality New Zealand
Awards for Excellence last week.
The restaurant now holds the
title of ‘best neighbourhood bar
and eatery.’
Owner Shaun Halliwell said
it wasn’t the first award the
business has won, but it was one
of the most significant.
“Since we opened No.4 in
2006, real hospitality has been
at the centre of everything we
do. We look after our team, and
they, in turn, stick around, often
for many years and look after
our customers. Some of them
even recall individual loyalty
card numbers,” he said.
Mr Halliwell said the award
is great recognition of all the
hard work his staff put into their
work.
“They do a great job, they work
incredibly hard,” he said.
He thought the reason behind
the businesses success is that
its spaces cater to a range of
occasions.
“We can have a rowdy party
going on in the bar, live music
outside, and a formal dinner
in the library, and everybody’s
happy,” Mr Halliwell said.
He submitted an application
The revolution

is here now!
to Hospitality New Zealand to
be entered in the running for the
award and was pleased with the
result.
Head chef Ian Mulling – who
has been with the No.4 team
since it ran the Clarendon
Restaurant on Oxford Tce
which was destroyed in the
earthquakes – accepted the
award on behalf of the team at a
ceremony in Hawke’s Bay.

In Brief
NEW SPEED LIMIT SIGNS
Signs updating speed limit
changes on Sisson Drive,
Langdons Rd, Restell St and

the end of its life and will
be replaced. The work is set
to start on Monday and is
expected to take about two
weeks to complete. Access to
driveways and garages may
be restricted at times due to
the location of the drain.
BELFAST WATER SUPPLY
A new water supply well is
being built at the Belfast
Pump Station on Darroch
St. The work is under way
and is expected to run until
the middle of next year. The
new well will provide more
drinking water to the city’s
water supply network. No
traffic impacts are expected,

LINED UP: Former
CBHS students at
the annual old boys
luncheon. PHOTO:
GEOFF SLOAN
Old boys celebrate at CBHS
•From page 1
The fundraiser is held each year
for ex-students who started at
the school 60 years ago or more,
and old boys committee
treasurer Trevor Hayes
said the event was a
“huge success.”
It raised $3600 to
support students’ mental
health, and $1250 for the
school’s PTA.
Mr Hayes said Mr
Gray was one of the first
to accept the invitation
when they were sent out
last month.
“[Mr Gray] sat at the top
table with other 90-year-olds,
headmaster Nic Hill, guest
speaker Anton Matthews, head
Trevor
Hayes
monitor Fergus Kilpatrick, and
MC Terry Donaldson,” Mr Hayes
said.
The committee set an initial
limit of 150 attendees.
Within a week this was
extended to 170 when
invites closed and a waiting
list was established.
Guest speaker Mr
Matthews owns the
Fush fish and chip shop
in Wigram, and is well
known for his passionate
talks about te reo Maori. He
is also a former student and
teacher of CBHS.
“His [Mr Matthews] talk was
about te reo and the benefits to
New Zealanders to learn as much
as we can of the Maori language
for the future benefit of our
children and grandchildren,” Mr
Hayes said.
Before the luncheon began,
the past pupils were invited to
walk around the corridors and
main block of the school and
reminisce about their time at
CBHS.
They were also given a tour of
the school grounds, including the
reconstructed Deans buildings,
the work being done to restore
the former Caddick and Caldwell
blocks, the Big Room and the
classroom block along Te Kura St.
“We are not sure whether [Mr
Gray] will return next year but
welcome other old boys to reunite
with their old school,” Mr Hayes
said.
Kitten cuteness at SPCA
NOR’WEST NEWS
KITTEN SEASON has begun at
the SPCA’s Christchurch centre.
The centre has 68 kittens in
its care, either at the centre in
intensive care or with foster
families.
This number will continue to
rise in the coming weeks.
The summer months are
often nicknamed kitten season
because of the high number
of kittens that are born at this
time.
However, an SPCA spokeswoman
said it typically finds
that kitten season starts as early
as September and the Christchurch
centre is already gearing
up for one busy summer.
She said some of the most recent
kittens in the Christchurch
centre’s care came from the
SPCA’s Ashburton branch and
two had their lives saved when
they were rescued.
“A member of the public
called our team and staff went
out to help after the lady heard
cries coming from under the spa
pool in her garden.
“The gap between the ground
at the spa pool was so small
that staff had to get a spade to
dig a hole to get to the kittens.
They were both tiny, and one
was cold and appeared lifeless.
Fortunately, they were rushed
to the centre for intensive care
and both are now doing well,”
she said.
FURRY FRIENDS: The SPCA’s Christchurch centre has 68
kittens in its care and this number is expected to increase.

Harewood designer lights
up the timeball in Lyttelton
• By Jess Gibson
IT WAS AN emotional
experience for Harewood’s Kevin
Cawley when he saw the lights
go on at the Timeball Station in
Lyttelton for the first time.
After 5pm every night, a
“shaft of light” accentuates the
difference between the two types
of stone on the 143-year-old
structure, which is one of five
working timeballs in the world.
It was Mr Cawley who took on
the lighting project
after being asked
by Heritage New
Zealand director
for the southern
region Sheila
Watson.
His aim was to
Kevin
Cawley
make an “iconic
structure become
a beacon of pride
to the community and to respect
the architectural integrity of the
tower and enhance the beauty of
the structure by night.”
Now the lighting designer has
been recognised for his work with
two awards of excellence.
At the Illumination
Engineering Society Chapter
Lighting Awards, Mr Cawley
received one award from IES and
one from the Royal Astronomical
Society of NZ for efficiently,
effectively, sustainably protecting
INSPIRATIONAL: Harewood
designer Kevin Cawley
created the lighting for
Lyttelton’s Timeball Station.
the night environment.
“I was stoked. I felt extremely
proud,” he said.
Built in 1876 to a design by
architect Thomas Cane, the
timeball signalled the correct
time for ships in Lyttelton
Harbour until 1934.
The reconstruction of the
station after it was destroyed
in the 2011 earthquake was
completed in October last year.
Mr Cawley has lit up some
of Christchurch’s most iconic
buildings, including the
Isaac Theatre Royal and the
Christchuch Casino.
Residents fight bottle store plan
•From page 1
The key concerns for residents
are a lack of parking, an increase
in alcohol consumption and
alcohol-related anti-social
behaviour, and frustration
around Memorial Ave being a
memorial for fallen soldiers.
The proposed liquor store
would operate from 9am-10pm,
seven days a week.
Community Action on
Youth and Drugs senior project
worker Paul McMahon said it
is important people make their
voices heard, and attend the
district licensing committee
hearing when a date is set.
“The more people who make
their objections known, and
the more people who go to the
hearing, the less likely it will be
granted,” he said.
Mr and Mrs Kaur, who have
applied for the consent, said they
are open to addressing residents
concerns with parking, and
Mrs Kaur does not believe the
store will cause any issues in the
neighbourhood.
“Liquor is available at the
supermarket in the area, I don’t
think it will cause any more
issues,” Mrs Kaur said.
The couple is open to installing
security cameras and extra lights
to promote safety in the area.
Mr Kaur said the location was
chosen due to the busy nature of
the road.
OPPOSITION: Community Action on Youth and Drugs senior
project worker Paul McMahon does not want to see a new
liquor store open on Memorial Ave. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
“Every retailer looks for
busy roads with parking for
businesses that is a good
location,”
“We are not drug dealers – it’s
just a liquor store,” he said.
Fendalton resident Ashley
Seaford has two teenagers living
at his address.
He is concerned the liquor
store could increase the risk of
alcohol-related harm, especially
with its proximity to Canterbury
University.
“Opening a shop that
focuses on the youth market by
selling spirits and high alcohol
RTDs is not wise and likely to
lead to increases in alcoholrelated
harm and problems,” he
said.
A Canterbury University
spokesman said the university
does not currently have a
position on the matter.

Big award for Papanui
retirement village team
THE GARDENING team
from Ngaio Marsh Retirement
Village in Papanui have been
praised for their hard work in
the Christchurch Beautifying
Association spring competition.
The four men in the team won
the Merivale Retirement Village
Trophy for ‘continuing standards’
in their work.
Chris Downes is the head
gardener and has been at the
village for four-and-a-half years.
He said there were a number
of factors which helped the team
win the award.
“The secret is to have good
water flow and so forth. I think
it was the colour of the pansies,
the yellow and blue, particularly
down Grants Rd,” he said.
The team values the
environmentally. Green waste is
sent to the city council’s Living
Earth depots, and compost
comes back to the village for use
in the beds.
Said village manager Anna
Thomson: “Every day, I get
compliments from residents
and visitors about our beautiful
gardens,” she said.

Gardening ‘therapy’ pays off
• By Claire Booker
CAROL SKINNER has always
been a passionate gardener, but
when she was recovering from
cancer treatment it became a
sort of therapy.
Her hard work in the garden
has now won her two awards at
the Christchurch Beautifying
Association spring competition.
While she was recovering
from melanoma of the eye, she
found peace in the garden.
“I would come home from
work angry and just start digging,
it helped me to heal,” she
said.
Mrs Skinner said her husband
Ray is a great help in the garden,
but she gives him the directions.
“It’s my way or the highway,
he just does what he’s told,” she
laughed.
The couple won first place in
the secret garden section of the
awards and third equal in the
Andrews Trophy.
Mrs Skinner said it was incredibly
rewarding to have her
garden recognised, given it is
“ever so slightly alternative” with
the succulents, native plants,
mosaics and pottery ornaments.
The couple have lived in
Northwood for a decade, and
Mrs Skinner said a lot of the
plants in their prize-winning
garden were brought with them
when they moved from the
North Island.
She describes the garden as

architectural, with succulent
plants and bulbs.
Most of the plants are perennials,
and she has a lot of dahlias
and hellebores, as well as native
plants.
“I really like natives, and birds
just go crazy for their seeds,”
Mrs Skinner said.
She spends “virtually every
day” in the garden, doing odd
jobs and gathering up debris.
“I’m out there for about 12
hours a week,” she said.
Mrs Skinner isn’t a fan of
garden gnomes, but she has a lot
of her own pottery pieces.
She said her secret garden
is a favourite spot of her
granddaughter’s who goes there
to play with their dog Ruby.

More than 60 entries
in Art Couture festival
DESIGNERS FROM across the
city took out prizes at the recent
wearable art festival Art Couture.
More than 60 participants from
across the South Island gathered
at Lincoln to compete in the
festival.
It was the third annual show
and the first time it included a
body art category.
Organiser Kim Strange said
the body art category was a great
addition to the show.
“The designers painted for
about eight hours at the event
centre on the day of the show. The
body art was well received and we
look forward to having this in the
show in 2020,” she said.

Runner-up award for young
golf ball dress designer
AN upcoming fashionista
had a ball at a wearable art
competition.
Year 9 Villa Maria College
student Lucy Morrison
was awarded runner-up
in the 13-20 age category
in the NZ Art Couture
competition recently after
making an outfit from golf
balls.
The whole outfit took
Lucy eight-and-a-half
months to complete and
she finished it a day before
the competition.
“I realised I would have
to cut the golf balls in half
or else the dress would be
too heavy so I used a saw
and cut them in half,” she
said.
Lucy then realised she
could use the inside of the
balls which are all different
colours on her skirt and
top.
She then added finishing
touches to her skirt
including grass and a flag,
placing a golf ball in her
hair along with making the
shoes.
Lucy said the idea grew
from going to mini-golf
with her friends.
Development manager
Keri Crompton said Lucy
is only 13-years-old and it

mouth, make eating difficult, & just plain hurt!
Using Duchenne’s exclusive DigiCare system,
we can reline your dentures for optimal fit
and comfort, and you’ll be surprised how
quick and convenient the entire process is.
• Locally
produced
• Finest quality
products
Strength
Thanks to the technology’s
unique bridging system, there
is significantly less chance of
dentures breaking or fracturing.
Comfort
Even the best technology
is no use if dentures aren’t
comfortable, and again digital
dentures show their superiority
here, as they are crafted from
a much denser acrylic so
are thinner and lighter.
However, Duchenne still
believe it is the human touch
that matters most. “The most
satisfying thing is the personal
contact, and relationships
we build with our clients,”
explains Duchenne’s owner,
John Batchelor.

Caring for a Ugandan community
In this week’s soapbox,
Bishopdale Unichem
pharmacists Amanda
Nuttall and Maria Morley-
Bunker share the highlights
of their volunteer trip to
Uganda, as reported in
the August 27 issue of the
Nor’West News
It is difficult to describe the
range of emotions as we reflect
on what has been an incredible
journey.
We feel privileged and
humbled to have been connected
with such beautiful people in
such a beautiful place.
Our team of 22 people was
divided into three smaller teams
with set activities.
The construction team had the
task of helping to progress the
building of the new rehab centre
and clinic. The teaching team
supported the local teachers
in the Kyampisi Childcare
Ministries School.
The care team, which we were
part of, had the role of working
with the children, carers and
social workers at St Pauls Rehab
Centre. This included teaching
a first-aid course to the staff
at the rehab centre and taking
all of the kids swimming one
afternoon.
UGANDA: Maria Morely-Bunker and Amanda Nuttall met Mercy,
the child the Bishopdale Pharmacy sponsors during their recent
volunteer trip to Kyampisi, Uganda.
The swimming was definitely
one of our highlights –
organised chaos but such fun.
Another key highlight was
the medical camp day. We were
two of three Kiwi pharmacists
all from Canterbury, with four
nurses from Uganda.
We provided just over 1000
prescriptions for people,
working from a tent, and in very
different conditions to those we
are used to.
We were well supported
by some of the boys from the
construction crew later in the
day who provided much-needed
cups of tea.
This was also the day people
received the glasses donated
by the Bishopdale community
– over 120 pairs of glasses plus
30 pairs of sunglasses. The
local people working on the
construction site received the
sunglasses, which were much
needed for both the sun and eye
safety.
All the glasses were cleaned
and had their prescription
measured and labelled thanks
to Marcia and the team at Foate
Optometry, Bishopdale.
We both look forward to
retaining our connection
with KCM and the Kyampisi
community. The team at the
pharmacy sponsor a child,
Mercy, which enables her to
attend school.
We were able to meet and
spend time with her while we
were there. We hope to return
again in the next two years.

the journey, or to donate
directly to KCM visit

Steve Sims responds to
the October 15 Nor’West
News article on rocks being
thrown through windows in
Bishopdale
Having followed the Bishopdale
Community Group page on
Facebook and being a neighbourly
lead in Casebrook, I have noticed
a lot more comments posted
almost everyday involving a
crime of some sort. People along
driveways, cars being tampered
with, vehicle break-ins and thefts.
More recently rocks were
thrown through windows – one
person being a victim more than
once. I think even earlier this
year, there were shots fired at a
house on Tuckers Rd.
I feel this has been increasing
from late last year rather than
a more recent increase. I was
personally disappointed to read
that we should give it a month and
they will move on.
I felt this was poor attitude to
what was happening. It already
seems to have been going on
longer than a month and I think
residents are getting sick and
worried about it.
I have heard there is a unit
that patrols but has a vast area
to cover and it is fully donation
and volunteer run which is great,
but can’t be everywhere at once, I
understand that.
Maybe set up a neighbourhood
watch-type thing again or a new
one.
Community meetings regarding
this could help.

Louis caps stunning year with award
• By Jacob Page
CANTERBURY’S top secondary
school sportsmen and women
were honoured at the 29th Zonta
Awards at the Hornby Working
Men’s Club on Thursday night.
Christ’s College’s Louis
Clark was named the best
all-round young sportsman
who has achieved in more than
one sporting code. He gained
national selection in water polo
and provincial success in both
surf lifesaving and swimming.
The St Margaret’s College
under-18 rowing eight were
named the most outstanding
team of young sportswomen
after they won the Levin Jubilee
Cup at the Maadi Cup regatta in
March.
The St Andrew’s College mixed
adventure racing team won the
mixed team award after they
won the two-day schools’ Coast
to Coast race in February.
The most outstanding
individual achievement by a
young sportswoman and a young
sportsman, specialising in one
sport, was dominated by two
cyclists. Burnside High School’s
Sami Donnelly won the women’s
category and CBHS’s Lawrence
Pithie took the men’s category.
Pithie took double gold at
the same event, announcing
himself on the world stage in the
process. St Margaret’s College
student Kate Baird took the
women’s honour for her efforts
in badminton. The award for the
most valued contribution to a
team by a young sportswoman or
sportsman went to Rangi Ruru
Girls’ School’s Grace Fissenden
for her efforts in netball and
athletics.

tin.
Using an electric mixer, whisk
the eggs with the sugar and
vanilla until thick and airy and
ribbons form on the surface.
Sift in the flour and fold
through until just combined.
Pour over the apples – the egg
mixture should end up level with

Modern magnificence
237 Mt Pleasant Road, Mount Pleasant
Auction: Thur 7 Nov at 4pm, on site (unless sold prior)
3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garaging | Listing Number OPA24823
Impeccably crafted and executed, this
spectacular brand new property overlooks
outstanding scenery, combining striking

living.
Newly constructed to the latest
specifications, this build will provide peace
of mind, the architectural finish satisfying an
appetite for elegance.
Bold black cedar and Rockcote over

the oak flooring indoors where designer
detailing include a David Trubridge feature
light, quality McKenzie and Willis window
furnishings and an exquisite kitchen.

the sensational mountain views out to the
Kaikoura’s provide a sense of serenity, and

Flat drive-on access and double internal
access garaging is a bonus for any hillside
home, while zoning for Mt Pleasant and

another advantage.
