Concerns
over cold
social
housing
complexes
• By Matt Slaughter
THE STATE of social housing
units in Addington has sparked
debate.
New Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board member Callum
Stewart-Ward says accommodation
at the Harman Courts and
Feast Place housing complexes
on Poulson St is cold and he will
advocate for it to be improved.
While some residents of these
complexes agree with Mr Stewart
Ward, others are happy with
their living situation and the
city council is looking into how
to improve the “warmth and
dryness” of properties in these
complexes.
Feast Place housing complex
resident Nico Walker said his
unit is cold and it will be good
for residents if something is done
to make their accommodation
warmer.
“I can’t afford money for a
heater so I just wrap myself in a
blanket.
“I don’t mind about the
coldness but it would be good
for the older people if it was
warmer.”

$40m plan to fix damaged, unsafe roads
• By Louis Day and Matt Slaughter
ROADS IN south Christchurch
deemed to be in very poor
condition or unsafe have been
identified by the city council for
improvements.
This comes
after city
councillors endorsed
an investment
case
which will ask
for $40 million
from the
Government’s
Christchurch
Yani Johanson
regeneration
acceleration
fund for roading and transport
improvements.
The investment case identifies
the need to spend about $25
million to $30 million on
roading improvements in
Linwood, Woolston, Spreydon,
Somerfield, Waltham,
Beckenham, Riccarton,
Richmond and New Brighton.
Improvements to the
Spreydon/Somerfield/Waltham/
Beckenham area are estimated
to cost $5,118,000, while
$5,103,500 would be spent in
Linwood/Woolston, $6,677,500
in New Brighton, $6,990,000 in
Riccarton, and $5,879,500 for
Richmond.

of roading owned by the city
council was severely damaged or
needed to be dug up for repairs
after the earthquakes.
But while the city council
and Government spent $2.2
billion on a five-and-a-half-year
programme to fix horizontal
infrastructure, the investment
case states many assets need
to be repaired over the next 30
years to bring them back up to
pre-quake levels.
All city councillors voted
for the investment case, except
Harewood city councillor Aaron
Keown, at their first official
meeting on Thursday.
The remainder of the $40
million will be spent on bus
priority and reducing serious
injury and fatal crashes.
Cr Keown said he voted
against the report because he
wanted all the money to go to
roading improvements.
“No-one in my 12 years of
being elected has asked me for a
bus lane,” he said.
The report will now be sent to
the Treasury.
City councillor Yani Johanson
said the money was a “small drop
in the bucket of what is needed.”
“I do want to sound a word of
caution – $40 million will not go
very far at all. If you think about
North Avon Rd roading renewal,
one roading renewal costs $6
million. There are a number of

would include:

roads in there, and if they cost
$6 million each, it is not going
to be hundreds it is going to be a
handful,” he said.
The investment case said
without a cash injection, traffic
congestion would increase
and “undermine the city’s
regeneration.”
The Christchurch regeneration
acceleration fund was first
announced by Labour in 2017
as part of its pre-election plan
for Canterbury to accelerate
recovery from the earthquakes.
The $300 million fund was
intended to repair horizontal
infrastructure and advance key
regeneration projects, such as the
multi-use arena.

Pioneer’s multi-sensory upgrade
PEOPLE WITH special needs
will soon be able to have
an improved multi-sensory
experience at the Pioneer
Recreation and Sport Centre.
The Southern Centre
Charitable Trust, which works
with the city council to run the
Southern Centre, has raised
$45,233 to help upgrade the
computer system which controls
the interactive equipment in
the room. Different pieces of
equipment will now be easily
activated by switches.
These improvements will be
made early next year.
The centre, on the first floor
of Pioneer, gives visitors the
opportunity to make sounds, feel
vibrations, experience smells,
touch different textures and
move lights around the room.
The environment is designed
for pre-schoolers, children and
adults who have physical or
intellectual disabilities and those
who suffer from anxiety or other
mental health issues.
Trust chairman Craig Scott
said the computer upgrade will
make a difference to the centre’s
clients.
Said Mr Scott: “The old system
was in desperate need of an
upgrade and we’re really pleased
to have been able to bring some
improvements.”

the centre is incredibly valuable

“There’s a lot of research
showing the benefits of a multisensory
environment, including
promoting intellectual activity,
such as memory recall and
encouraging relaxation and
social skills.
“For some of the users it’s
one of the few places they feel
comfortable going outside their
own homes.

improve their experience is very
welcome.”

Residents urged to contact council
•From page 1
Mr Stewart-Ward said of the
properties at Harman Courts:
“They’re quite sort of old cubes
that were deemed uninsulatable
by the Otautahi Community
Housing Trust because some of
the properties didn’t have roof
cavities or
anything like
that. It meant
that they sort of
stayed cold and
damp. I know
of one resident
Callum
Stewart-Ward
who paid out of
her own pocket
for a heat pump
and got that
installed.”
But Harman Courts resident
Wayne, who moved to the complex
two months ago and wants
to keep his last name anonymous,
said his new unit is much warmer
than the flat he shifted from elsewhere
in Christchurch.
“I’ve been as warm as. They’re
[residents are] very lucky to have a
place like this.”
Said city council head of
facilities, property and planning
Bruce Rendall: “All properties are
insulated to the required legislative
standards and are compliant with
the Residential Tenancies Act.
“While all our units meet legislative
requirements the council
are considering how to improve
the warmth and dryness of all
their properties. This will include
insulation work at the Feast Place
complex – some of this work
has commenced and the rest is
planned over the next 14 months.”
Mr Stewart-Ward said he will
push for the complaints procedure
for residents concerned about
the state of the houses they are
living in to be made easier and the
management of social housing in
Addington to be improved.
He urges people with concerns
about the state of social housing
in South Christchurch to discuss
these with the community board
so they can be raised with the city
council.

accommodation at the

Food hub
funding sought
A CROWDFUNDING campaign
to raise $20,000 could help take
Woolston’s community well-being
to the next level.
Funds will be used to hire a parttime
manager for Roimata Food
Commons at Radley Park, which
has promoted healthy eating by
providing free fruit and vegetables
to the public since 2017.
However, the entire amount will
need to be raised before November
25 in order for donations to be
confirmed, as the campaign is “all
or nothing.”
Founder and volunteer project
manager Michael Reynolds said
employing a full-time Kaitiaki or
vision holder to work with the
board of Roimata Commons Trust,
will help the initiative flourish.
The trust has relied entirely on
volunteers who have contributed
their time to establishing a thriving
food system, growing biodiversity
and running events on
more than 2.6ha of land alongside
the Heathcote River.
One of the major roles the
Kaitiaki will have is to try and
develop financial sustainability
for the commons by building
relationships with businesses.

The Dark Island
Leprosy in New Zealand and the Quail Island
Colony by Benjamin Kingsbury
From 1906 to 1925 Quail Island, in Lyttelton Harbour, was the site
of New Zealand’s leprosy colony. The colony began by accident, as it
were, after the discovery of a leprosy sufferer in Christchurch. As further
patients arrived from across the country, it grew into a controversial
and troubled institution – an embarrassment to the Health Department,
an object of pity to a few, a source of fear to many.
This remarkable narrative reveals a little-known aspect of New
Zealand’s past, shedding light on the treatment of some of society’s
most marginal, unfortunate and isolated people. Written in lucid,
compelling prose, The Dark Island heralds the arrival of a significant
historical voice.
Me Elton John
Sir Elton John, CBE, is a multi-award winning solo artist who has achieved
38 gold and 31 platinum or multi-platinum albums, has sold more than
300 million records worldwide, and holds the record for the biggest-selling
single of all time, ‘Candle in the Wind 1997’. In August 2018 Elton was
named the most successful male solo artist in the Billboard Hot 100 chart
history, having logged 67 entries, including nine Number 1s and 27 Top
10s. Elton launched his first tour in 1970 and since then has performed
over 4,000 times in more than 80 countries. When not recording or
touring, Elton devotes his time to a number of charities, including his own
Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised over $300 million and
funded programmes across four continents in the twenty-four years it has
existed. He is married to David Furnish, and they have two sons. Me is his
first and only official autobiography.
The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters
The Tragic and Glamorous Lives of Jackie and Lee
by Sam Kashner: Conversation Starters
Jackie was more traditional, private and quiet, while Lee explored
the modern and experimental. Lee was the flirtatious, outgoing and
fun-loving sister who loved to be in the limelight. The irony was that
it was Jackie who became the famous one and Lee was relegated as
the lady-in-waiting. Lee was original in her style, Jackie copied from
her and took the credit from the applauding international media, which
made Lee even more jealous. The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters peeks into
the private and public lives of these two women, showing their close
yet complicated relationship marked by rivalry and jealousy. The book
is written by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger who also wrote
about other famous personalities in their books A Talent for Genius
and Furious Love. Kirkus Reviews lauds the book’s “explorations of the
truths and fictions of Camelot [that] continue to mesmerize.”
Big Ideas for Small Houses
By Catherine Foster
A look at a range of small houses around New Zealand, and the
strategies the owners used to get a toehold in the tight housing market.
From building a secondary dwelling on an existing family section, to
tiny houses on pocket handkerchief pieces of land, these approaches
to housing will give ideas and inspiration to all wondering how it can
be possible to own a first home in the twenty-first century. Each entry
begins with a statement about the strategy the owner used to achieve a
home of their own. The houses range in size from 100 square metres
right down to a very cosy 34 square metres! Beautifully photographed,
and including plans and costs, the houses presented are in Puhoi,
west and north Auckland, Raglan, Tamahere, Taupiri, Whanganui,
New Plymouth, Wellington and Christchurch.

Cashmere High’s top business
minds take out awards
• By Jess Gibson
A GROUP of Cashmere High
School students have proven
themselves to be up-and-coming
entrepreneurs.
Josh McKernan, of Woolston,
Lukas Hornell, of Cashmere, Lyttelton’s
Finn McCabe, and Eddie
Hogan, of Mt Pleasant, came out
on top at the Young Enterprise
Scheme regional finals and
awards with their new product
called JELF.
They teamed up to create the
eco-friendly alternative to A4 and
A3 laminating pouches.
The group also won the opportunity
to present JELF at the
national finals in Wellington on
December 4.
Finn said they put their heads
together at the start of the year
in a bid to invent a new product
as part of their business studies
project.
He said as they discussed their
ideas, they wrote them down on a
sheet of laminated paper.
However, it ended up being
the laminated paper itself which
sparked their product idea.
The awards were held at Ara,
where the finalists pitched their
ideas in front of a panel of judges
and fought for the title.
There were 132 teams entered
in the competition, which was
narrowed down to six finalists.
Along with the top award, JELF
also won the Powell Fenwick YES
Regional Excellence Award for
Sustainability.
Finn said the accolades were
“absolutely amazing.”
“We never expected this at the
start of the year.”
He is moving to Wellington to
study a Bachelor of Commerce at
Victoria University next year but
said he will continue to focus on
getting JELF off the ground with
his teammates.
“At the moment we haven’t sold
anything, but we’ve started making
pre-sales,” Finn said.
The group is also looking to
create other products such as
shrink wrap. Another group of
Cashmere High School students
finished second at the awards
with their company Pivot.
The students business teacher
Matt Benassi won the National
Teacher of the Year Award at the
event.

TWO performers from
Cashmere High have been
selected for the Young
Shakespeare Company.
Year 13 students Michael
Higgs and Jorja Farrant have
both been accepted into the
company for next year and will
perform and take part in workshops
at the Globe Theatre in
London for two and a half weeks
in July.
Cashmere High is the only
school in New Zealand to have
more than one student chosen
for the company, which will include
24 students from throughout
New Zealand.
The students’ selection was
a result of their good performances
at the National Shakespeare
Schools Production in
Wellington, which ran between
September 29 and October 7.
Jorja said it was hard to contain
her excitement levels when
she found out she had been selected.

Lucia leads the way for Cashmere
SPORT
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE age-group tennis
players showed they can match
it with the best at the New
Zealand Masters tournament in
Wellington last week.
The top performer was
11-year-old Lucia Gale, who
finished second in the under-12
girls category.
Lucia, who was the top-seed,
was beaten in straight sets 5-7
2-6 6-2 by Samoa’s
Mahinarangi
Warren.
Coach James
Meredith said
Lucia had a chance
James
Meredith
to get on top at 5-4
in the first set, but
unforced errors
against a taller,
bigger opponent eventually took
a toll.
“This was a good opportunity
for Lucia to test herself against
(Mahinarangi) before they’re
likely to meet at the nationals in
December,” Meredith said.
“Lucia is only 11 and did her
best to handle the extra height
and the windy conditions as well
as she could.”
Her teammate Ruby McPhail
lost her fifth to eighth play-off
encounter against Auckland’s
TALENT: Abby Mason added another title to her promising
tennis resume with the New Zealand Masters under-16
championship in Wellington.
Maia Elisha Liu 6-2 6-1.
Cashmere duo Jake Parsons
and Mac Bulman met in the
third and fourth play-off in the
under-12 boys category with
Jake prevailing after Mac had to
retire hurt with the score at 3-6
5-1.
Lily McHarg finished 12th in
the under-12 girls category after
losing 2-6 1-6 to Maia Krzanic-
Sullivan.
Liam Barrett finished fourth
in the under-14 boys draw after
the fifth seed lost his third and
fourth play-off to Carlson Lim
1-6 3-6.
Eliana Roelofs finished 15th in
the under-16 girls draw.
The 13th-seed finished her
campaign with a 6-3 6-0 victory
over Nelson’s Ashley Welsh.
Elmwood’s Abby Mason, who
Meredith coaches privately, was
also in a dominant mood and
won her age-group.
Abby lost just 11 games
and did not drop a set in four
matches on her way to winning
the under-16 girls title.
The top-seed beat second-seed
Auckland’s Lucy Xu 6-1 6-0 in
the final.
Meredith said the tournament
was a good lead-in for nationals
and allowed players to match-up
against each other prior to the
big event.
SO CLOSE: Cashmere’s Lucia Gale was runner-up in the under-12
girls competition.

• By Jacob Page
TWO HILLMORTON High School
korfball players have been named in
the New Zealand under-19 team for
a tournament in the Netherlands in
June.
Lynnette Sakaria and Kate Rich
will be part of the squad that will
compete at the International Korfball
Federation open European under-19
tournament.
The duo are considered two of the
top sport success stories at the school
and with both just being in Year 11,
they have a chance to build on the
success.
Chair of Korfball New Zealand
Rob Smith said both had a bright
future.
“They both have a good work ethic
and good basic ball skills from involvement
in other sports,” he said.
“Hillmorton High School has been
really supportive of Korfball Canterbury’s
schools and youth development
programme, which I am sure
has helped to set the two of them on
course with korfball.”
Smith admitted the team would
compete as underdogs at the event
but it was a tag they enjoyed having.
“We have sent teams to this tournament
before. It serves the purpose
of introducing our young players
to korfball at a significantly higher
level than they experience at home.”
Smith said.
“We are starting to create some
interest around international
korfball.
“We received the International
Korfball Federation’s World Korfball
Award for best elite development in
August, so there is an expectation
that we are progressing.”
He said the squad would attend
regular training camps on weekends
in the lead-up to the event with
many also taking part in weekly club
competitions.

Every Day is Open Day
At the heart of our city since the founders laid the
first roads and planted the first trees, St Michael’s
has held dear those early aspirations and visions,
while unleashing our own dreams for a lofty future.
Indeed, for 168 years, St Michael’s has been
educating and nurturing the visionaries and
dreamers who
continue to shape our
city and the world
beyond. For our
young pupils have
limitless potential
to lead exciting and
generous lives, and we
have the responsibility
to educate and inspire
them, to encourage
every child to flourish
in mind, body and
spirit.
St Michael’s is a prep
school for girls and boys in Years
1-8. ‘Prep’ as in preparation for
secondary school, a foundation
for a fine life. For at the heart of St
Michael’s are the essential values of
Christian faith and good citizenship:
respect, integrity, community, faith,
hope and love.
An independent school education
at the primary level is a great gift.
Our classes are small, with year-groups of 20 pupils,
ensuring your child is an individual, well known by
staff and fellow pupils alike.
Traditional foundations in English and Maths are
assured. This academic rigour then underpins
our wider curriculums in History, Geography,
Science and Spanish.
IT literacy is taught,
not assumed, and
computer use is
measured. We like
teaching and talking to
our pupils!
A prep education
offers balance. St
Michael’s cultural and
sports’ programmes
further develop
your child’s
foundation, as
creativity and
problem-solving
come in many
forms. Specialist
art and music
classes are enjoyed
weekly. We have
three choirs,
and most pupils
participate in
instrumental or
speech & drama
lessons with our
ten itinerant staff.
Located in the
heart of the city,
opposite the
new Riverside
Farmers’ Market,
our extended
campus is
spectacular:
the Art Gallery
and Museum,
Tūranga, our new
central library,
and Hagley Park
are frequent
haunts.
Many of our parents now work in the thriving city
centre or Lincoln and Riccarton Road hubs, but
they live city-wide. They comment on the benefit of
knowing their children are in school nearby and the
convenience of popping over for an hour to catch a
performance or watch a race. With the new central
exchange only a block away, senior children arrive
by bus from all corners of the city.
You and your child are warmly welcome to discover
our purposeful, wholehearted and inclusive prep
school. Every day is open day, so please contact
registrar, Bec Hitchcock, to book your personal

Tasty Bites
Baking the ultimate banana bread
This amazing banana
bread doesn’t crumble,
stays moist and freezes
well. It’s also the perfect
way to top off gnudi with
asparagus, which makes
for a tasty meal any time
of the day
Banana bread brilliance
Makes 14-15 slices
Ingredients
270g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
80g butter, melted
140g dark cane sugar
3 large eggs, size 7
1 tsp vanilla extract
450g very ripe bananas, weighed
without skin, mashed (4-5 large
bananas)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 170 deg C
on bake.
Sift the flour, baking soda,
cinnamon and cloves into a large
bowl and stir well to combine.
Set aside.
Put the melted butter, dark
cane sugar, eggs and vanilla
extract into a medium-sized
bowl and beat together for
several minutes on high speed
until thick and creamy.
Reduce the speed and
gradually add the mashed
bananas, beating until well
combined. Make a well in the
centre of the dry ingredients and
stir in the banana mixture a third
at a time, mixing well after each
addition.
Tip into the prepared tin
(either loaf tin or cake tin) and
smooth the top.
Bake until golden brown – it
should be firm to the touch
and a skewer inserted into the
centre should come out clean
(about 50-55 minutes). You may
need to cover the bread with
baking paper for the last 15min
of cooking if it is browning too
much.
Remove from the oven and
cool on a wire rack for about
20min. Slide a knife between
the side of the tin and the bread
to loosen it. Invert the tin on to
a wire rack, remove the baking
paper, turn right way up and
leave to cool.
To serve the loaf, cut it into
thick slices and toast if you wish.
Cuts into 14-15 slices.
To serve as a cake, use ice
with lemon icing or leave plain.
Without the icing, the banana
flavour is more pronounced.
Cuts into 16-20 slices.
Gnudi with asparagus
Serves 4
Ingredients
400g ricotta
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
120g freshly grated parmesan,
plus extra for serving
100g flour
1 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
semolina flour
2 bunches asparagus, woody
ends removed and cut into 3cm
pieces
50g butter
4 sprigs of thyme, marjoram or
basil
juice of ½ a lemon,
Directions
In a large bowl, mix together
ricotta, eggs, egg yolk, flour,
seasoning and parmesan cheese.
Mix to combine. Put into a
piping bag with large plain
nozzle.
Dust a tray heavily (5mm)
with semolina and pipe 2cmwide
tubes the length of the tray.
Continue until all the mix is used
and gently roll the tubes in the
semolina.
Chill for as long as possible (an
hour or overnight).
Bring a large pot of salted
water to the boil.
While the water is coming
to the boil, heat a large fry pan
with butter, add the herbs and
asparagus and cook until the
asparagus becomes tender (about
4min).
Cut the gnudi into 4cm
lengths, cook in boiling water.
When it rises to the top (about
3-4min) remove and drain.
Add them to the asparagus,
season, grate over plenty of
parmesan cheese and enjoy
immediately.

Tips for untreated hearing loss
Hearing is a sense that many of us
take for granted. Throughout our lives,
we subject our ears to loud sounds–
music, power tools, lawn mowers, air
travel–without using ear protection.
regrettably, this can cause hearing
loss. also, the natural aging process
generally results in hearing loss. even
certain illnesses and medications
can adversely affect our
hearing. Unfortunately,
hearing loss that occurs
from such causes is
permanent.
The good news is, even
if you already have a little
hearing loss, it’s never
too late to preserve your
hearing for the years ahead.
The first thing you can do
is protect your ears in noisy
environments. also, avoid
using cotton swabs to clean
your ears. and, make it a
priority to get a baseline
hearing screening to see
if hearing loss has already
occurred.
if hearing loss is found
during your hearing
evaluation, it could be
due to excess ear wax or
infection. This type of
hearing loss is reversible.
if hearing loss stems
from chronic exposure
to loud noise, aging, or certain illnesses
and medications, hearing aids are the
best way to preserve your good hearing.
The great news about today’s hearing
aids is how small and easy to wear
they are. Modern digital hearing
aids use super-tiny microprocessor
technology–making them virtually
invisible when worn. Hearing aids
can help almost all degrees of hearing
loss–from a little to a lot. and, by
stimulating your brain with sound that
might not otherwise reach it, hearing
aids help keep your brain active, which
lowers your risk for cognitive diseases,
such as dementia.
if you suspect you may have hearing
loss, don’t ignore it. neglecting a
hearing loss can have a snowball effect–
making it grow bigger, faster than
necessary.
Here are 10 ways you can limit
hearing damage and preserve good
hearing:
1. Understand the sound levels of the
noises in your environment.
2. Learn about proper ear protection.
There are many kinds on the market
today, ranging from custom ear
molds to foam plugs and more.
3. Put physical distance between you
and loud noise when it is present. if
possible, stand at an angle from the
noise, not directly in front of it.
4. Take breaks when you are exposed to
noise.
5. When listening to music through
headphones or earbuds, keep the
volume low-to-medium.
6. Know the signs of hearing loss, and
measure yourself against them.
7. schedule a baseline hearing
evaluation. Hearing loss is on the rise
among Baby Boomers and young
people. it’s never too early to get your
hearing checked, but don’t wait past
age 50.
8. Have your hearing evaluated by a
professional licensed by your state.
9. if you have hearing loss caused by
a reversible condition, take steps to
correct it.
10. if any permanent hearing loss is
diagnosed, choose hearing aids to
slow it down, and preserve good
hearing.

Heat pumps for
every home
Established in 2002, Enviro Master is a 100 per cent locally
owned business specialising in helping Cantabrians discover the
perfect heat pump or air-conditioning system for their home or
work place
The team includes not just sales people, but also qualified
electricians, and heating and refrigeration engineers, with many
years’ experience. You can be sure they have the know-how to
protect your home from extremes in temperature and air quality.
As suppliers and installers of Christchurch’s widest range of heat
pumps, with no affiliation to any one brand, they offer unbiased
advice on the benefits and differences between each product.
They will recommend the most energy-efficient and costeffective
heating or cooling system for your unique situation.
To help you choose the right system, one of their qualified
experts will visit your home to assess your situation, offer
professional advice and answer any questions you may have.
They follow an educated, objective, assessment process to
determine the best solution for you.
Your selected system will then be installed by professional,
experienced staff, who will also take the time to show you how to
operate it for long-term efficiency.
5-Star ratings
from satisfied
customers
I have had heat
pump around a month
now and it’s been fantastic
I would just like to pass my
many thanks onto you Grant and
the team for making it so easy
and stress free! Please pass on
my thanks to the install team
as I wasn’t home and they did
an awesome job and even
cleaned up afterwards.
Malachi Batchelor
I have
nothing but praise
for this business, the
recommendation we received on
the correct model to install and the
“reasons why” impressed us greatly.
Pricing was very competitive but the
main reason for our 5 stars was the
installation, which was on time, very neat
and Grant gave excellent advice on how
to get the best performance from the
heat pump. This business got our
business because they were
the best.
