A PASSION for bringing life 

into her community has seen 

Hayley Guglietta recognised as 

a local hero. 

Mrs Guglietta has lived in 

Richmond for 26 years, and 

last week she was announced 

as a Kiwibank local hero medal 

winner. 

“I feel very proud to receive 

this award, it is recognition for 

all the people that have come 

together in Richmond and central 

Christchurch to tackle what 

have been some very tough 

issues,” she said. 

Mrs Guglietta and her 

husband own an IT business in 

the suburb, called Akiva, and 

she said the staff at the business 

support her in her volunteer 

work. •Turn to page 4 

Call to 

transform 

Plunket 

building 

into toilets 


BISHOPDALE business owners 

want to see the soon-to-bedemolished 

former Plunket rooms 

turned into upmarket public 

toilets. 

But the city council has no plans 

to upgrade the toilets at the mall. 

An earthquake-damaged 

former Plunket building is being 

demolished by the city council, 

but one business owner thinks the 

building should be revamped as a 

toilet facility. 

My Mens Store Bishopdale 

owner Barry Souter said the 

former Plunket building would 

have been a great spot for a ladies 

toilet and family room. 

“It would be easy to bring it up 

to earthquake standards,” Mr 

Souter said. 

THe sign on the fences 

surrounding the building say 

it is surplus to city council 

requirements. 

Said Mr Souter: “They may 

be surplus to the council 

requirements, but they are not 

surplus to the needs Bishopdale 

and the users of the mall.

Charity gift shop moves out 


COMMUNITY activities in 

Mairehau could suffer due to a 

loss of funding as a charity gift 

shop moves out of the suburb. 

Pay it Forward which has 

been in the suburb for the last 

six years, is moving to a pop-up 

store in Cashel St. 

Part of the shop’s commission 

went to the Neighbourhood 

Trust which runs community 

events in Mairehau. 

Last year, about $13,000 went 

to the Neighbourhood Trust, 

which funds community events 

and workshops, including a free 

class for non-English speaking 

people in the area. 

About 40 heavily subsidised 

craft and Kidsfest classes 

were held last year, and Pay It 

Forward founder Ginny Larsen 

said it will be a loss for some 

members of the community who 

used the craft classes as a creative 

outlet. 

Mrs Larsen said it will be 

up to the Neighbourhood 

Trust to apply for funding to 

keep the community projects 

going. 

Said Mrs Larsen: “I wouldn’t 

expect them to fold.” 

Pay It Forward will no longer 

be under the Neighbourhood 

Trust umbrella, and it will rebrand 

as the Kowhai Collective 

at its new pop-up store next to 

Ballantynes. 

‘I guess Pay It Forward was 

my baby’ 

– Ginny Larsen 

The Nancy Ave site where the 

gift shop was will continue to be 

used as a community space, but 

Neighbourhood Trust manager 

Trudy Hedges said there are no 

plans for what it will be used for 

yet. 

Mrs Larsen said the shop 

moving out of Mairehau is like a 

teenager leaving home. 

“I guess Pay It Forward 

was my baby, and now it is 

reaching young person age and 

is ready to flee the nest,” Mrs 

Larsen said. 

Said Mrs Larsen: “The new 

space will have makerspaces in 

it, so visitors to our store will be 

able to interact with designers 

LAST 

DAY: Pay 

it Forward 

Mairehau 

closed 

its doors 

last week, 

designer 

Nicola 

Keene will 

be part of 

the move to 

the pop-up 

store in the 

CBD called 

The Kowhai 

Collective.

and watch them making the 

goods on display for sale. We 

love this new concept. 

“The local community has 

loved having something beautiful 

in their neighbourhood and 

it has been a place for them to 

pop in and have a chat. The 

Neighbourhood Trust has 

provided us with a home for the 

past six years and we will miss 

this community, but the CBD 

will be accessible to people from 

all parts of town,” she said. 

In Brief 

WATER RESTRICTIONS 

Residents in St Albans, Merivale, 

Mairehau, Papanui and Edgeware 

will have water restrictions for 

at least three to four weeks in 

January. The level one restrictions 

mean hoses, sprinklers and 

garden irrigation systems are 

permitted on alternate days. The 

restrictions will allow a deeper 

well to be drilled at the Grassmere 

pump in Papanui. 

SAFETY TALK 

Last week, police, Fire and 

Emergency NZ and St John 

spent a morning at the Bishopdale 

Village Mall to meet residents, 

share a hot drink and talk about 

safety. More than 100 hot drinks 

were purchased at the event. 

Police and FENZ also visited 

houses on Breens Rd where 

they helped install new smoke 

alarms and checked on home 

safety. 

CHOIR CONCERT 

The annual concert for The 

Vocal Collective will be held on 

Saturday at St Margaret’s College. 

Local charities have been invited 

to a free matinee performance, 

and more than 450 free tickets 

have already been allocated. 

Tickets can be purchased from 

https://thevocalcollective.co.nz/ 

the concert is set to start at 

7.30pm.

Award recognition for 

local hero volunteers 

•From page 1 

When she isn’t working on the 

business, she’s busy at Avebury 

House, helping in the Richmond 

community garden, volunteering 

for Alzheimer’s Canterbury 

and being the chairwoman of 

the Richmond Business and 

Residents Association. 

Mrs Guglietta’s involvement 

with Alzheimer’s Canterbury came 

after her mother died after eight 

years of suffering from the disease. 

“I wanted to give back and 

have been a companion volunteer 

supporting others who are in 

the early stages of Alzheimer’s 

in order to help them remain in 

their homes as long as possible,” 

she said. 

A key passion of Mrs Guglietta 

is advocating for Richmond to 

stay within the Shirley Boys’ 

and Avonside Girls’ high school 

zones, in spite of the fact she does 

not have children. 

Mrs Guglietta said challenges 

she has overcome in life are what 

led her to become involved with 

her community. 

“I had always wanted to be a 

successful business person with 

tonnes of money and the trappings 

that come with that, but 

the earthquakes, not being able 

to have my own family and the 

journey with my mum’s illness 

significantly impacted me and 

completely changed my world 

view,” she said. 

Upcoming projects for Mrs 

Guglietta include work on the 

Avon River corridor, which will 

have an interactive kids trial, 

nature and heritage trails, and a 

community cafe to provide jobs 

for locals. 

“We have just taken ownership 

of another piece of land called 

the garden of curiosities where 

we will grow foods that people 

eat but may not have ever seen 

grow such as peanuts, gourds and 

heritage varieties of vegetables,” 

Mrs Guglietta said. 

Mrs Guglietta is also working 

on a social enterprise to deliver 

a school education programme 

based on the importance of pollinators 

in the environment. 

“I am pretty excited about the 

opportunities and projects we 

have planned for the next few 

years that will ultimately benefit 

not just Richmond but all the 

people of Christchurch,” she said.

Demolition a 

disappointment 

•From page 1 

“If you’re going to run 

a shopping centre, you 

had better have good, 

clean toilets. But at 

the moment, they just 

aren’t adequate. 

“It’s a permanent 

issue in Bishopdale, 

these are the things that 

stop people going.” 

THe city council has been 

making improvements to the 

Bishopdale area, but Mr Souter 

said there is still more to be done 

to bring people back to the mall. 

“If [the city council] was really 

genuine about it, they would 

make toilets a priority, because 

that’s what brings people to a 

mall,” he said. 

John Filsell

City council head of 

community support, 

governance and

said the Plunket rooms 

are not suitable to be 

refurbished as a toilet 

block. 

Said Mr Filsell: “The 

Plunket building is to be 

demolished soon because 

it is 12 per cent of building code, 

unreinforced concrete block. 

“THere are currently no 

plans to upgrade the toilets at 

Bishopdale Mall. The toilets 

will be part of our next round 

of toilet condition assessments 

and will be prioritised alongside 

other toilet blocks based on 

condition.”

Eco-friendly food wrap wins award 


DIRECTORS: The Christchurch Girls’ High School Azul team won an award at the Young 

Enterprise Scheme regional awards last week. Team members (from left) Huda Abdulridha, Lina 

Eljindi, Strev Balmoria, Nicka Pascual, Caryl Cerro accepted the award. 

AN ECO-friendly alternative to 

plastic food wrap designed by 

Christchurch Girls’ High School 

enterprise students has been 

recognised as one of the best 

products in the region. 

The company, called Azul won 

the Rotary Club of Christchurch 

Sunrise YES Regional Excellence 

Award for Social Enterprise at 

the Young Enterprise Scheme 

regional awards last fortnight. 

Azul’s chief executive, year 

13 pupil Strev Balmoria, who 

lives in Riccarton, said it was a 

privilege to be recognised as one 

of the top six young enterprise 

companies in the region. 

Said Strev: “We are grateful 

to have had this opportunity to 

showcase a solution to the everincreasing 

plastic issue facing 

our society today.” 

The E-Wrap product the company 

designed is gelatine-based 

and is 100 per cent environmentally 

friendly. 

The wrap is produced at a 

shareholder’s house, and Strev 

said the production process is 

fairly simple. Once the mixture 

is formed, it is left to set for a few 

days before it is packaged. 

The idea from the product 

came from the group members 

shared passion for the environment. 

“Every day we see single-use 

plastics, wrapped in our food 

and in abundance in our school 

canteen, so we were inspired by 

our surroundings to come up 

with an alternative to single-use 

plastics,” Strev said. 

The group has made nine sales 

and have profited $76.50. 

The five year 13 pupils will 

not continue the business after 

the school year finishes, but 

Strev hopes the initiative of the 

company will inspire future 

students to look for solutions for 

environmental issues. 

“We faced a lot of difficulties 

producing our product but, 

despite that, our passion for 

saving the environment became 

our driving force to continue 

making our product a reality,” 

Strev said. 

Barbara Harding responds 

to last week’s Nor’West 

News article on a proposed 

liquor store on Memorial 

Ave 

I am utterly appalled to think 

that yet another shop selling 

alcohol may be granted a licence 

in an area already well served for 

alcoholic beverages, and also with 

so many schools in the vicinity. 

What possible positives could 

there be to offering such a retail 

outlet? I can only see the negatives 

in a country where unfortunately 

alcohol is over-consumed and 

often the major cause of family 

violence and broken homes. 

Why not put a florist there? 

New World offers some flowers, 

but very few. With the church just 

down the road, and being on a 

main road for commuters, I could 

imagine that this would be a very 

worthwhile and attractive retail 

option. 

Why not send out the message 

to tourists heading to the 

airport that we are a garden 

city? Failing that, a sushi shop 

could most certainly be a great 

option as there are none nearby, 

and this could provide some 

healthy snack options for passing 

schoolchildren, as well as workers. 

Please, do not allow this 

proposed off-licence. It is a terrible 

and ridiculous idea. Locals will 

fight it all the way and hope that 

those we have chosen to represent 

us on the council will hear our 

voices.

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

A FORMER children’s 

orphanage in Harewood will be 

remembered with a memorial 

seat. 

Last week, the Christchurch 

Methodist Mission held a small 

ceremony to mark the site of the 

former South Island Methodist 

Orphanage and Children’s 

Home, on Harewood Rd. 

The Christchurch Methodist 

Mission office is currently still 

located at the site, but the 

home was demolished in the 

1990s. 

The art deco home was first 

opened 85 years ago and was 

designed by architect Wilford 

Melville Lawry. 

The memorial seat was blessed 

by Reverend Michael Greer, and 

about 10 former residents of the 

home attended the ceremony. 

Christchurch Methodist 

Mission executive director Jill 

Hawkey said the event honoured 

the request of a former resident 

for a plaque to remember residents 

and staff. 

“We hope former residents 

will see this as an opportunity 

to reminisce about their time at 

the home, and as an expression 

of our commitment to retain 

our memories associated with 

the home,” she said.

A safe, gentle way to improve 

fitness and health 

For all those wanting to improve their strength, 

fitness and overall health in a relaxed, friendly 

environment, Charisma Health & Leisure in 

Avonhead provides the ideal opportunity. 

Not a gym, Charisma Health & Leisure is equipped 

with six Shapemaster Powertone electronic beds, 

each one designed to target specific muscle groups. 

Owner Katrina Barron explains: “With the 

Powertone system, the beds are all pre-set to operate 

for five minutes, and clients move from one to the 

next for the different sets of movements, with their 

session lasting just over 30 minutes. 

“The speed and resistance of each bed can be 

varied according to individual needs, and they are 

very safe – people of any age and any level of fitness 

can use them and gain the benefits.” 

These benefits include improving core strength, 

gaining longer, leaner muscles, improving circulation 

and increasing energy, as well as helping those with 

conditions such as osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis. 

People also find the system useful for regaining 

strength and normal movement after surgery such 

as hip replacement, Katrina says, and for anyone 

with an injury such as a broken ankle or damaged 

shoulder, who want to maintain their fitness while 

recovering, the injured area can be isolated while 

they use the system. 

The Shapemaster system was developed in the UK 

in the late 1980s, and is now widely used around the 

world as a gentle, safe form of exercise. Charisma 

Health & Leisure in Avonhead is one of only two 

places in New Zealand that offers it. 

“Our other advantage is there is no pressure on 

people to sign contracts – we don’t have contracts, 

we offer flexible packages for our clients,” Katrina 

says. 

“You can come for a free trial, where we take you 

through the system, explain how it works and the 

health benefits it provides. 

“If you like it you can then take a month’s 

membership during which you can come once a 

day for as many days as you wish. After that you can 

choose from one of our flexible packages.” 

Charisma Health & Leisure is located at 45 

Merrin Street, just along from the Avonhead Mall. 

Phone 358 3834. Open Monday to Friday 7.30am- 

5.30pm and Saturday 8am-12.30pm. 

The Powertone electronic beds each 

provide different sets of movements 

for the body’s muscle groups. 

FREE TRIAL!

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.

Summerset at Wigram serviced apartment resident, Alma with daughter Maree 

Serviced apartments, 

the best of both worlds 

Discover how Summerset living allows 

Alma to stay active and thrive 

SUM1852_FC1




“ Since Mum’s been here, 

she’s just blossomed” 

From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had 

plenty of company throughout her whole life. 

So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter 

Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move, 

they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet. 

“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always 

something going on,” remarks Alma. 

When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he 

passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to 

deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly 

she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree. 

Alma with Maree as a toddler 

While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and 

has become more herself again. 

“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising. 

She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.” 

Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it 

needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming 

and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.” 

Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of 

working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom 

at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little 

outings. It’s a lovely place to be.” 

Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger. 

“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree. 

“It’s a relief for us to know that she’s taken care of. Dad would be so pleased to see she’s in a 

place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”
