Battle over 

plan to 

open new 

liquor shop 

heats up 


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 


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 

in heat pumps 

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 

Winston Ave are set to be 

installed from Monday. The 

30km/h speed zones were 

approved by the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

in September. The work is 

expected to be finished by the 

end of next week. 

ST ALBANS DRAIN 

The timber-lined drain 

between 62 and 66 Sherborne 

St at Frees Creek has reached 

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, 

but there will be some 

construction noise.

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 


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.

proposed liquor store can be sent

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 


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.

the body art category was a great 

addition to the show. 

“The designers painted for

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

Digital Technology Brings 

Huge Benefits to Denture Wearers 

Not ones to follow the pack, Duchenne Denture 

Specialists have always been a company of firsts: 

– First to bring to you Duchenne’s DigiCare Denture System 

– First to introduce suction dentures to New Zealand 

– The only state-of-the-art laboratory of its kind in New Zealand 

– The only company in Christchurch that processes their dentures 

with injection moulding – for greater strength and a superior fit 

Why is Duchenne DigiCare better? 

• Faster, simplified 

process 

• Added strength 

and comfort 

These are all fantastic advances 

which the company are very 

proud of – and with good reason. 

But when it comes to dentures, 

there are only four things that 

really matter – appearance, fit, 

strength and comfort. 

And Duchenne Denture 

Specialists’ new Advanced 

DigiCare Technology offers major 

improvements in all these areas. 

Appearance 

This new technology allows 

us to make adjustments and 

changes that are more precise 

than before for a better, more 

natural appearance. 

Fit 

Duchenne can now also measure 

the final fit in microns, there is 

no shrinkage and you can try out 

your denture before it is finished 

– all helping to ensure a better, 

more accurate fit. 

• Easy 

replacements 

• Shorter 

wait times 

For a free consultation, call Duchenne on 0800 866 8448 

Dentures not fitting properly? 

Ill-fitting dentures can affect your teeth & 

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.

Your Local Views 

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.

Sweet and savoury 

dishes of the world 

These sweet and savoury treats from Russia and Japan are quick to prepare 

and very adaptable 

Russian apple cake 

Serves 8-10 

Ingredients 

6 large apples (granny smiths are 

perfect for this) 

3 large good-quality eggs, at 

room temperature 

1 cup sugar 

1 tsp vanilla 

1 cup flour 

Pinch cinnamon 

Directions 

Grease an 18cm round cake 

tin with removable bottom. Line 

with greaseproof paper. 

Prepare the apples by peeling 

and removing core. Cut the 

apples into small chunks and 

place directly into prepared cake 

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 

the apples. Bake in a pre-heated 

oven for 40-45min or until a 

skewer comes out clean. Cool for 

10min in the tin then remove and 

cool. This cake is delicious warm 

or cold. 

Okonomiyaki pancake 

Makes 4 large or 8 small 

Ingredients 

½ small cabbage, very thinly 

sliced 

4 carrots, julienned or sliced as 

thinly as possible 

½ red onion, sliced thinly 

4 leaves kale, cavolo nero, stalks 

removed and sliced very thin 

1 tsp salt 

6 eggs, lightly beaten 

½ cup flour or rice flour 

Oil for frying 

To serve 

2 spring onions, sliced thinly 

Japanese mayonnaise 

Okonomiyaki sauce 

Directions 

Toss all the prepared vegetables 

and salt together in a large bowl. 

Mix through the eggs and flour 

until evenly combined. 

Heat a large fry pan on 

medium-high heat. Coat the 

bottom of the fry pan with oil. 

When hot, add pancake 

mixture. 

Make either four large or eight 

small. These pancakes should 

be thick (½cm) and full of 

vegetables. 

If making the large ones you 

may only be able to cook one at 

a time. If this is the case, you can 

refresh them in a warm oven. 

Cook them until golden and 

crispy (3min). 

Carefully flip and continue 

cooking until golden on the other 

side. When cooked, remove and 

keep warm. Serve with sauces 

squiggled over the top and 

sprinkle with spring onions. 

Optional toppings are pork

REAL ESTATE 

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 

visual form with the utmost convenience to 

comfortably accommodate modern family 

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 

Integra panel cladding complements 

the oak flooring indoors where designer 

detailing include a David Trubridge feature 

light, quality McKenzie and Willis window 

furnishings and an exquisite kitchen. 

Magnificent ocean and estuary views with 

the sensational mountain views out to the 

Kaikoura’s provide a sense of serenity, and 

the glistening city lights ensure your outlook 

is idyllic, even by night. 

The intelligent layout places a strong 

emphasis on lifestyle, which will appeal 

to both families and couples who adore 

entertaining. 

Anchoring the open plan living is the chic 

kitchen, complete with island bench, walk-in 

pantry, high-end tiling and appliances. Eco 

and hardwood decking effortlessly extends 

from the home to provide outdoor living 

areas across both floors, with a level lawn and 

landscaped garden the perfect private setting 

for socialising. 

Excellent in-built storage options, and 

contemporary convenience with partial 

underfloor heating, two heatpumps, LED 

lighting, gas fire, superior insulation and 

double-glazing heightening comfort levels. 

Three bedrooms accompanied by two 

tiled bathrooms, the master enjoying a walkin 

robe and ensuite. A second area can be 

utilised in many ways: extra living, study or 

even a media room if required. 

Flat drive-on access and double internal 

access garaging is a bonus for any hillside 

home, while zoning for Mt Pleasant and 

Redcliffs Primary Schools represent yet 

another advantage. 

This property will appeal to seekers 

of a post-quake new build exuding lowmaintenance 

luxury and design excellence. 

Open Homes Wednesday 11:30-12:00pm 

and Saturday and Sunday 3:30-4:00pm. 

See you at an open home or call Simon
