“We have refurbished the

tiling repairs and work on

Huge 

water 

use may 

lead to 

restrictions 

SOARING temperatures have 

led to unsustainable water use in 

Christchurch which could result 

in water restrictions. 

On February 3, more than 260 

million litres of water were used 

across the city, an average of 

552-litres per 

person, resulting 

in city 

council revealing 

the water 

supply is under 

“extreme pressure.” 

A similar 

amount of 

water was 

Helen 

Beaumont 

used on February 2 when the 

temperatures in the city peaked at 

35 deg C. 

The measurements are the highest 

recorded for the city’s water 

use in a decade, the city council 

said, calling for people to ease 

back on their water use in the 

coming days. 

City council head of three 

waters and waste Helen Beaumont 

said that level of demand is 

unsustainable.

Burnside HS 60th 

celebrations a success 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

CATCHING UP with old 

classmates has been a highlight 

for former Burnside High School 

student Clive Chandler. 

Mr Chandler was a key helper 

for a two-day reunion marking 

60 years since the school opened 

recently. 

First-day students who were 

at the school when it opened on 

February 2, 1960 celebrated the 

school’s milestone last Sunday 

and Monday. 

About 40 former students attended 

the two-day event. 

Mr Chandler started as a 

student at the school when it officially 

opened in 1960. 

The school opened in a staggered 

approach with initially only 

about 200 third-formers. 

“It has been excellent. It has 

been really nice catching up with 

people I have not seen for 10-30 

years,” Mr Chandler said. 

He said while some people’s appearance 

had changed a lot, some 

people still look the same. 

The celebrations have included 

poetry, a speech from former 

principal John Godfrey on the 

school’s past successes, lunch and 

dinner and tours of the school. 

CELEBRATION: Clive Chandler, Robert Findlay, principal Phil 

Holstein and deputy head girl Emma Hollingworth at Burnside 

High School’s 60th celebration. 

BACK IN TIME: Former students at the official opening of 

Burnside High School 60 years ago and current students came 

to celebrate the school’s significant milestone.

‘We need 

people to 

stop using 

sprinklers’ 

• From page 1 

“Our concern is that if the demand 

for water doesn’t lessen significantly, 

we won’t have adequate 

flow and pressure in some areas, 

which is also a big concern when 

it comes to the city’s preparedness 

for fighting fires,” she said. 

“We don’t want to have to 

impose water restrictions, but 

if the demand doesn’t ease off, 

we will have no choice. We need 

people to stop using sprinklers 

and garden irrigation systems 

to water lawns and gardens. If 

your garden needs watering, use a 

hand-held hose and water before 

7am or after 9pm, when it’s cooler. 

And please, avoid watering lawns 

or grass berms.” 

Level four water restrictions, 

the highest level, were introduced 

in parts of Banks Peninsula last 

week, after streams that supply 

drinking water to Akaroa, 

Duvauchelle and Takamatua 

dropped suddenly. 

Level 4 restrictions means all 

use of water outside the house 

must cease. 

Pupils prepare for garden festival 

SCHOOL PUPILS from St 

Albans Catholic School are 

among those who have been 

preparing for the Grow Ō 

Tautahi Christchurch Garden 

Festival. 

St Albans, Burnside Primary, 

St Marks, Heathcote Valley, 

Banks Avenue, West Rolleston, 

West Eyreton, West Melton, and 

Diamond Harbour Schools are 

taking part in the festival, creating 

display gardens that reflect 

their values and surroundings. 

It will be held in the Botanic 

Gardens from March 20 to 22. 

The gardens have been growing 

since late last year, but 

extra work was needed over the 

holidays. 

Grow Ō Tautahi festival director 

Sandi MacRae said school 

kids will be on-site during the 

festival to talk to visitors about 

their gardens and what they 

represent. 

“When we were planning the 

festival, we were clear it had to 

reflect local people and local 

ideas. It has been fantastic to get 

so many local primary schools 

involved to show off their gardening 

skills in creations that 

reflect their values. 

“We’re working closely with 

the schools to support their displays, 

but these are all their own 

creations and it’s their hard work 

that has gone in to producing 

the exhibits. I know Cantabrians 

will love these gardens and they 

are sure to be real feature of the 

Festival,” she said. 

The school garden creations 

will include an edible salad bowl, 

a celebration of native plants, a 

focus on wellness, a reflection 

on life in the red zone and many 

more ideas. 

Grow Ō Tautahi is a free, 

homegrown festival designed 

specifically for Christchurch. It 

is a creative and environmentally 

aware event that draws on the 

best ideas from the community, 

schools, garden designers, scientists, 

food gatherers and chefs.

Nicky Ryan-Yates held two holiday

growth of their plants over summer

Care and financial certainty 

LUXURY: The newly opened Ashley Suites at The Russley Village 

aged care facility is offering a New Zealand first payment option 

A NEW aged care facility at 

a luxury retirement village 

in Christchurch is providing 

financial certainty for families 

looking for quality care and 

accommodation for their elders 

in what is a New Zealand first in 

the aged care sector. 

The newly opened Ashley 

Suites in The Russley Village is 

offering a ‘care bond’ option for 

families wanting to pay a lump 

sum rather than daily fees for use 

of a luxury care unit. 

But rather than having to wait 

until a unit is re-licensed as in 

many other facilities in New Zealand, 

the care bond offered at the 

Ashley Suites ensures families 

are repaid no later than 42 days 

after the bond is terminated. 

It is a New Zealand first in the 

aged care sector and the village’s 

parent company, Generus Living 

Group, will be offering it as an 

option at other care facilities it 

is developing throughout New 

Zealand. 

Director Graham Wilkinson 

says research has shown that 

while families are happy to 

purchase a care unit to secure 

a premium level of care and 

accommodation for their loved 

ones, the uncertainty of when 

they would be repaid was a cause 

for concern. 

“We looked at care models 

both in New Zealand and 

overseas and felt that an arrange- 

to provide better financial certainty. 

ment that provided first-class 

hotel-style care while providing 

security around financial terms 

was needed. We believe this will 

be the only care facility in New 

Zealand that currently offers this 

level of comfort.” 

Wilkinson has a history of 

five-star hotel developments 

before starting Generus Living 

and the company’s villages take 

cues from resorts and hospitality 

trends. This latest development is 

an elegant mix of care suites and 

one and two-bedroom serviced 

apartments including in-house 

physiotherapist, podiatrist, dietitian-designed 

gourmet menu, 

dedicated general practitioner, 

hair salon, cinema and accessible 

swimming pool. 

Built on the former site of 

the Russley Hotel, The Russley 

Village is a mix of villas, townhouses 

and apartments and since 

opening almost 10 years ago has 

been recognised nationally as 

one of the most progressive retirement 

villages in the country. 

It contains its own cafe and brasserie 

in its community facility, 

The Homestead, and includes a 

bespoke cinema, library, study, 

computer area, arts and craft 

space and a wellbeing suite offering 

services such as a hair salon. 

Take a free bus to 

concert and fireworks 

A FREE park and ride service is 

going to make it easy to get 

to the YES Power Sparks 

concert in North Hagley Park 

on Saturday. 

Sparks, which features the 

Christchurch Symphony Orchestra 

and a dazzling fireworks 

finale, is one of the biggest events 

on the SummerTimes calendar 

and traditionally attracts a crowd 

of more than 50,000. 

To make travel to the event 

easy, a free park and ride service 

will operate from Canterbury 

University’s Clyde Rd car park 

and from the Cranley St bus stop 

by Eastgate Shopping Centre. 

Between 5pm and 8.30pm 

people will be able to park at the 

university and the mall main car 

park and then catch a free bus to 

North Hagley Park. 

At the conclusion of Sparks, 

buses will return people to the 

university and Eastgate. The 

departing buses will leave from 

Park Tce (across from Peterborough 

St) between 10 and 

10.15pm. 

“The Night Noodle Market is 

on the same night as Sparks so 

we are expecting a huge crowd in 

North Hagley Park. 

“The free park and ride service 

will ease the pressure on the 

central city parking and make 

it easy for people to enjoy the 

night’s festivities,’’ city council 

events and arts manager Lucy 

Blackmore said. 

“We are also going to have 

cycle stands and scooter parking 

available in the park, just past the 

Armagh St bridge, for those who 

want to bike or scooter in for the 

night.’’ 

For those intending to travel 

by car to the event, there will be a 

drop-off point on Rolleston Ave 

between Gloucester St and Armagh 

St (outside Christ’s College). 

People with mobility passes 

will be able to park in the mobility 

parking area on Chester St 

West. 

“It you do plan to come by car 

please be aware that the Botanic 

Gardens Armagh St car park 

will be closed to incoming traffic 

from 3pm and closed to all traffic 

from 5pm,’’ Ms Blackmore said. 

If you are looking for information 

about places to park, there’s 

a great interactive map on the 

city council’s website. 

The main Sparks concert will 

begin at 7.30pm but there will 

be live entertainment in North 

Hagley Park from 6.30pm. The 

Night Noodle Market will be 

operating from 1pm. 

The fireworks will begin about 

9.40pm. 

If the weather is wet, Sparks 

will be postponed to Sunday.

New Year 

NEW APPROACHES 

Welcome to 2020: a new year, a new decade 

and for many, myself included, a chance to try 

new ways of looking at and maximizing life. 

I’ve entered this year in a manner similar to 

previous years. I’m excited about the future and 

buoyed by the opportunities ahead. Some of 

these are already in the planning and some are 

absolutely unknown, but will no doubt show 

themselves when the time is right (they always 

do). I like to stay open to that. As a natural optimist 

and perpetual organizer, I also like to review the 

previous year, find the lessons – whether good, 

difficult or somewhere in between – and then 

learn from them. 

So, with that in mind, here’s what is resonating 

for me as I consider both the personal and the 

professional path ahead. 

Connection and happiness. 

I’ve recently spent time looking at aspects of 

well-being and happiness (that’s what a holiday 

does for you!) and, as a result, the theme for our 

company this year is ‘Well-being and Resilience’. 

Why? Well, we know from experience that it 

can get very tough in the real estate industry, 

whether you’re brand-new or a veteran, and 

as a leadership team we’re deeply committed 

to relieving some of the stress, insecurities and 

constant disappointments that can accompany 

the profession. To do this, we’re enlisting the 

support of numerous professionals to help in 

the journey – experts in nutrition, sleep, financial 

management and resilience – which I think will 

be a change-maker. We are launching our team 

support program with a presentation by a recent 

New Zealander of the Year, Mike King. 

In doing the research prior to concluding that we 

need to increase our support framework, I came 

across a study conducted by Harvard University. 

This 80-year-old study, known as the Harvard 

Study of Adult Development (one of the longest 

studies on adult life), found that close relationships 

and connection kept people happy and that 

embracing a community helped them live longer 

whilst also keeping brains healthier. 

The study also found that the happiest of the 

group of 724 participants credited amongst their 

life lessons, a) not sweating the small stuff and b) 

letting go of past failures. 

As simple as both these lessons sound, neither 

is easy, but both are deeply beneficial when 

applied to the real estate industry – or many other 

industries, for that matter. 

So, connection, community, collaboration and 

everything these things entail will be a vital part of 

the year ahead for our company, as I hope they will 

be for you. 

If they’re not, and a new career is part of your New 

Year plans, contact me. Life is simply too short 

to be standing still or feeling disconnected, and 

happiness is too fleeting. 

Otherwise, try yoga (I'm going to!) and have a 

magical year.

Colourful sports day at Villa 

VILLA MARIA College’s school fields 

were turned into a kaleidoscope of 

bright colours for its annual house 

sports day. 

The entire school took part in a 

range of fun outdoor activities including 

swimming, gumboot throwing, 

running races, long jump, skipping 

and sack races on Tuesday. 

The six houses students represented 

were Brodie, Claver, Ennis, Grace, 

McAuley and Mercy House. 

Development manager Keri Crompton 

said while it was an enjoyable day 

for the students, they are also competing 

for house points. 

“The day is very colourful and fun,” 

she said. 

The day culminated in Villa’s spiral 

relay, which is a relay race ran by the 

entire school.

Emily Sidaway and Julia Middleditch.

Panel repairs in handy, 

central city location 

As we all know, having our car off the road 

for panel repairs can be frustrating, but for 

customers of Smart Repairs (NZ) Limited in 

Lichfield Street, this isn’t a problem. 

“With our focus on fast and efficient 

turnaround, getting customers back on the 

road as quickly as possible is our aim” says 

Brian, who owns Smart Repairs with his 

wife Maxine. 

As specialists in small to medium vehicle 

repairs, no job is too small. Their services 

include panelbeating, spray painting, 

paintless dent removal (PDR) and mag 

wheel repairs and painting. 

Customers can be assured of top-quality 

workmanship at Smart Repairs, with Brian 

and Glenn having over 50 years’ industry 

experience between them. 

Customers also have the use of a free 

courtesy car, so they can stay on the road 

while their vehicle is in the workshop. 

There is a free pick-up and delivery service 

within Christchurch available on request. 

Accidents happen, but there is no 

need to panic - the Smart Repairs team 

can provide quotes for all insurance 

companies, and carry out those repairs 

quickly and professionally. With their 

friendly, personal approach they make it 

easy for customers who may be unsure 

what to do if their vehicle has been 

scratched or dented. They offer free advice 

and assessments, and are happy to discuss 

the options for your vehicle repair. 

“We take pride in our work and want 

to ensure that our customers are happy 

with the results,” says Maxine. “We stand 

behind our repairs”. 

Eftpos and credit cards are accepted.
