Bike business cranking 

along after lockdown 

• By Matt Slaughter 

RETAILERS IN the Nor’West 

News area are bouncing back 

after the Covid-19 lockdown. 

The city council has reported 

spending in Christchurch increased 

by four per cent during 

June compared to the same 

period last year, bringing it back 

in line with pre-Covid-19 levels, 

according to the latest Marketview 

data. 

Papanui Cycles owner Kevin 

Lee said the store had an initial 

boom of people buying bikes, 

particularly e-bikes, when it 

reopened. 

Bike sales have since slowed 

down over winter but Lee said 

they are now at normal levels for 

this time of year. 

“I would say that we are probably 

back to where we would be, 

trading at normal winter sales 

but there was that high that happened 

after Covid,” he said 

However, not every retailer has 

bounced back. 

Harrison Wong, an employee 

at Working Style clothes store 

in Papanui, said business is 

only at about 60 per cent of pre- 

Covid-19 levels. 

Said Wong: “Last month and 

this month have been about the

same but not as much as January 

and February were. 

“It’s about 60 per cent of what 

we were doing earlier,” he said. 

He said not as many people

at this time of year, so this may 

partly explain why sales have 

been down. 

For other parts of Christchurch, 

Marketview’s data suggests 

spending growth has increased 

by about 26 per cent at home, 

hardware and electrical stores 

and 16 per cent at clothing stores.

I was born in the deep south, Tuatapere, gateway to Fiordland. 

I grew up among some stunning scenery but it wasn’t really until I 

travelled the world that I saw just how special it was. 

I am a Christchurch based, self-taught artist painting semi-abstract 

landscapes that are earthy and textural. My paintings are inspired 

by New Zealand landscape, particularly Central Otago, Mackenzie 

Country and Canterbury. 

My works are descriptive of landforms shaped by both natural 

forces and man. Weathering, erosion and human activity lead to an 

ever-changing terrain. 

There is often a touch of both flora and water in my paintings that 

allude to the idea of the land sustaining life. 

The paintings have layers of colour and texture through 

which I chisel, scrape, eliminate, add back and interact 

with the painting to reveal the essence of a landscape. 

I hope painting our NZ landscape may encourage the 

viewer to recognise the beauty of the land and to feel 

responsibility for looking after it.

Real estate market buoyant 

• By Matt Slaughter 

NORTH-WEST Christchurch 

is proving to be a hot spot for 

houses selling at auction. 

General manager of Harcourts 

Gold Chris Kennedy said, in 

recent weeks, 55 per cent of 

houses it has auctioned have 

sold “under the hammer” and 

80 per cent of houses have sold a 

short time after auctions. 

“We’ve 

noticed great 

activity in 

our auction 

rooms postlockdown.” 

Kennedy 

said there 

Chris Kennedy 

are a number 

of reasons 

why houses in the north-west 

are proving so popular at the 

moment. 

“I think it’s the type of house, 

I think it’s the demographic 

of house, I also think it’s the 

pricing of the homes themselves. 

A lot of the activity is happening 

in that $400,000 to $700,000 

bracket which seems to be 

incredibly popular at the 

moment and there’s a bit a of a 

frenzy out there for that type of 

property.

tend to develop to the

Kennedy said a house 

in Glen Oaks Drive, 

Northwood, went to 

auction and sold for $1.2 

million. 

He said bidding on 

a house in Memorial

$700,000 and it sold for

and sold for $915,000. 

Said Ray White 

Papanui real estate 

agent Vanessa 

Golightly: “This part

been popular, from 

Papanui, Bishopdale,

Avonhead. Anything 

we can list here at the

HOT PROPERTY: 

Houses are selling 

at auction in large 

numbers in northwest 

Christchurch. 

“They’re just good size 

with reasonable land and they’re 

just nice neighbourhoods in 

general too. 

“It’s got reasonably good 

schooling, we’ve got good 

access to all different parts 

of Christchurch. So, it’s not 

far into town, it’s not far out 

to the airport, it’s got good 

links through [to] North

its values quite well,” she

units arriving 

THE FIRST two social housing 

units on Guild St have been 

lowered onto their foundations 

last week as nearby residents 

watched from afar. 

The Christchurch Methodist 

Mission is relocating 15 units 

and a community house from 

Linwood Park. All will be in place 

within the next few weeks. 

Mission executive director 

Jill Hawkey said wet weather 

hampered preparatory work but 

the contractor worked hard to 

ensure the project was on track 

to welcome its first families by 

Christmas. 

“It is a really exciting project for 

us; we will be able to help 15 families 

with significant housing need, 

at the verge of homelessness.” 

• The Nor’West News this month 

reported pre-consent concerns as 

to the project’s compliance with 

special character area rules, and 

earthworks rules. This gave the 

inaccurate impression the project 

did not meet requirements. 

The project complies with both. 

Further environmental enhancements 

to improve the appearance 

of the units, and provide further 

screening, were added during the 

resource consent process. 

Landscaping will begin when 

the units are in place.

“Hiring Cameron to sell our home was by far the best decision we could’ve made 

for selling our home. He’s not just a face on a bus. His communication throughout 

our campaign was excellent, as was his honest and professional advice. We were in 

safe hands from the moment we signed him as our agent, right through to handing 

over the keys. We were singing his praises prior to auction day and then, wow! 

Auction day was fantastic and it was great to see him and the auction team work. 

We’ll be using Cameron and his Harcourts gold team again in the future. 10/10!”

Retail 

spending 

on the rise 

• From page 1 

ChristchurchNZ general 

manager of strategy, insight 

and policy Anna Elphick 

said increased spending was 

encouraging but there is still some 

way to go. 

“There’s been strong growth in 

many suburbs including Papanui 

and New Brighton. Pent up 

demand and eased restrictions on 

movement have provided some 

buoyancy to the levels of retail 

spending, but we are yet to see 

how long the sugar rush will last. 

We know there are still challenging 

times ahead and any return to 

normal will take a long time. 

“The impact of border closures 

is also being felt with a 58 per cent 

reduction in international visitor 

spend in Christchurch during 

June, compared to the same time 

last year. 

“It was positive to see 

spending by residents in the 

central city increase by 13 per 

cent on June 2019, going some 

way to compensate for the loss 

of international visitor spend 

which makes up a relatively large 

proportion of central city spend,” 

said Elphick. 

Students’ bid to reduce plastic waste 

• By Bea Gooding 

AS MILLIONS of plastic bottles 

make their way into landfills 

and natural environments, six 

young entrepreneurs have come 

up with a bubbly way to tackle 

the issue. 

The year 13 young enterprise 

students at Villa Maria College 

will soon release Eliminate – an 

effervescent disinfectant tablet 

for water bottles in a bid to encourage 

families to reduce their 

single-use plastic waste. 

Charlotte Restieaux said the 

project, with Hannah Shallcrass, 

Kaitlin Willetts, Ella McHerron 

and Ella Dolan, of Harewood, 

was aimed at “busy people” who 

often reached for single-use bottles 

instead of cleaning the one 

they already had. 

“We realised a lot of us are 

busy and we don’t often have 

enough time to properly clean 

our drink bottles,” she said. 

“We recognised the issue of 

single-use bottles and how convenient 

it was to chuck it out and 

get another one.” 

She said the process was 

simple – by placing the tablet in 

a bottle with water, which will 

“fizz” and disinfect the inside, 

followed by rinsing. 

The homemade tablets 

comprised of common bacteriakilling 

cleaning agents including 

hydrogen peroxide and baking 

soda which will also be suitable 

for reusable bottles. 

Charlotte and her team 

believed it will provide a convenient 

way to clean on-the-go, 

reducing the chances of purchasing 

a new bottle. 

Even though plastic bottles 

could be recycled, at most, 

only 30 per cent of which was 

eventually recycled in New 

Zealand. 

With a portion of waste 

winding up in waterways and 

beaches, the group were committed 

to donating 10 per cent of 

profits to the Sustainable Coastlines 

charity. 

Said Charlotte: “A lot of 

single-use plastics end up on our 

coastlines and the charity helps 

clean up the beaches, so we felt 

that our mission aligns with 

theirs.”

the major problems climate 

change,” said Charlotte. 

Eliminate was now in 

production, she said, which was 

due to be released this week.

Selwyn House - Where Girls Thrive 

Selwyn House is an all girls’ school for 

Years 1 to 8, with a focus on developing 

inquiring and empathetic minds and 

building strong knowledge foundations so 

that our students will face the future with 

the skills and confidence to be empowered 

global citizens. 

We prepare our students for the 

challenges and opportunities they will 

encounter using the latest technological 

tools within a creative and nurturing 

environment. With access to the best 

modern facilities and outstanding teachers, 

our students learn to think creatively, work 

collaboratively and to approach each new 

challenge with a can-do attitude. They are 

problem-solvers and powerful thinkers - 

attributes that are needed and valued in the 

future workforce. 

A key ingredient of the education at 

Selwyn House School is the International 

Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme 

(PYP), which is recognised globally as 

a future-focused curriculum based on 

intercultural understanding and respect. 

The PYP focus is on the total growth 

of the developing child, encompassing 

intellectual, social, physical, emotional, 

spiritual and cultural needs. We use 

structured, purposeful inquiry as the 

vehicle for learning, and our goal is to 

develop an understanding in our students 

that they can make a difference to their 

world. 

Selwyn House School has a culture of 

academic achievement and consequently 

our students perform significantly higher 

than the international student cohort. 

Learning in the core subjects of English, 

Maths and Science is complemented by the 

range of specialist subjects we 

offer, including Mechatronics, 

Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, 

Performing Arts, Music, Physical 

Education, Visual Art 

and Spanish - each 

taught by dedicated 

specialist teachers 

who are able to impart 

their knowledge 

and passion to our 

students. 

Small class sizes 

ensure learning is 

personalised and 

teachers are able to build strong 

connections with each child and 

provide clear learning strategies 

so that students are enabled to take control 

of their learning, self-regulate, and develop 

self-efficacy. 

Choose Selwyn House to give your 

daughter the education which will allow 

her leadership and personal strengths to 

blossom, and allow us to help her become a 

confident and informed individual, eager to 

take her part in the world.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and 

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. 


Scientists at Rush University Medical 

Center found those most deficient 

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest 

brain mass and the lowest scores on 

tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration and brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains and score 

higher on cognitive tests than those with 

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark 

study showed that B12 supplementation 

slows the accelerated rate of brain 

shrinkage and declining cognitive 

function. B12 is essential for energy 

production, cell health, regulation of 

mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and 

repair, and prevention of homocysteine 

a serious cardiovascular risk factor 

that is known to cause damage and 

plaque in the blood vessels. It can also 

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard 

researchers found 

a 34% decrease 

risk of vision 

loss in a study 

of participants 

aged 40+ who 

supplemented with 

B12. Another study 

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in 

subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb 

it declining with age as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication and other drugs further 

reduce B12 absorption. The good news 

is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin 

sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the 

mouth and thru bypassing the digestive 

tract have been shown to effectively raise 

B12 levels in the body.

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757 We are 

always happy to help! 

IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING? 

Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, 

mood swings, difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, 

numbness in legs 

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking 

brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. 

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 

has been shown to reduce the rate of 

brain shrinkage & support memory & brain 

function. B12 is also known to protect against 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk 

factor that can also damage the hearing, 

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential 

for energy, cell health & nerve function. 

B12 SUPPORtS: 

• Memory & Brain Performance 

• Helps protect brain from 

shrinking 

• Energy & Recovery

THE WINNERS 

of the Canterbury 

Smokefreerockquest solo/ 

duo category have been 

announced. 

Elvis Arthur, of Hagley 

Community College, 

took out the category, and 

KEI (Keira Jonkers), of 

Burnside High School, was 

runner-up. 

They both won a prize 

package from the Rockshop 

and are now in the 

national selection pool for 

the Smokefreerockquest 

live national final. 

Arthur, 17, (full name 

Elvis Arthur Nicolls) took 

out the regional solo/duo 

top spot with his song 

Orange Peel and Rubble, 

which was written about 

being ready to move to 

a different place in the 

world. 

“It’s such a huge honour 

to have been chosen for the 

next level in [the Smokefreerockquest], 

it has been 

the benchmark in my 

musical journey,” Arthur 

said. 

The competing bands 

in the region are currently 

submitting their video entries 

for consideration. Entries 

for the band category 

closed last week, with the 

winners announced on 

August 7. 

Along with the top 

three bands, there will be 

the Musicianship Award, 

Rockshop Electronic 

Assisted Performance, 

Best Vocal, APRA Lyrics 

Award, and the ZM Best 

Song. 

Smokefree Tangata Beats 

is running alongside the 

Smokefreerockquest, with 

a focus on the unique cultural 

identity of Aotearoa 

New Zealand and the 

South Pacific. Entries 

for this programme also 

closed on July 24 with 

the winners announced 

tomorrow. 

Smokefreerockquest 

founder and director Pete 

Rainey said, at the regional 

level, some entrants are 

already standing out. 

“It’s fascinating for us to 

look back at success stories 

like Kimbra, Marlon Williams 

and Broods, where 

we could see the star factor 

right back at the regional 

level. 

“Each event gives a 

new cohort of bands the 

opportunity to take their 

obsession with music and 

develop the organisational 

and stagecraft skills that 

will help them become another 

Kiwi music success.” 

The top regional bands 

and solo/duos submit 

new footage for selection 

as finalists to play off at 

the Smokefreerockquest 

national final in Auckland 

on September 12, with the 

Smokefree Tangata Beats 

national final held the 

night before. 

The Smokefreerockquest 

national winners’ prize 

packages include $22,000 

in Rockshop vouchers, 

$16,000 NZ On Air recording, 

video and promo 

package, and a photo shoot 

and branding package 

from Imaginary Friends. 

There is also the 

Musicianship Award, 

the APRA (Australasian 

Performing Right 

Association) Lyric Award, 

Rockshop Electronic 

Performance Award, 

Best Song Award, and 

Smokefree Vocals Award.
