Options being sought to<br />
revitalise Bishopdale mall<br />
• By Stu Oldham and<br />
Louis Day<br />
WOULD-BE INVESTORS will<br />
be sounded out and businesses<br />
might grow as the council works<br />
out how to break the cycle of<br />
decline at the ageing Bishopdale<br />
Village Mall.<br />
Some “private sector interests”<br />
in the suburb have already told<br />
council staff they are interested in<br />
development and investment - but<br />
they said that before Covid-19<br />
intervened.<br />
The extent to which those<br />
interests “remain live” needed<br />
clarifying as the council explored<br />
its options, urban regeneration<br />
planner Josh Neville told city<br />
councillors.<br />
The council is one of a clutch<br />
of mall landowners. It wants to<br />
explore ways to revitalise a mall<br />
officials say has been in a state of<br />
decline for more than 20 years.<br />
The council last week endorsed<br />
plans to work with anchor tenants<br />
on small-scale revitalisation, and<br />
to develop an investment case to<br />
see what more can be done, and at<br />
what cost.<br />
Harewood city councillor<br />
Aaron Keown described the mall<br />
in its current state as a “bit of a<br />
dunga.” •Turn to page 7<br />

Drink driving: How the numbers<br />
stack up in the Papanui area<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
POLICE CHARGED 915 people<br />
with drink driving offences in<br />
Papanui between 20<strong>17</strong> and<br />
2019.<br />
An Official Information Act<br />
request by Nor’West <strong>News</strong> has<br />
revealed out of eight areas in<br />
Christchurch and Banks Peninsula,<br />
Papanui sits second on<br />
the list of areas where the most<br />
people have been charged for<br />
being over the legal breath and<br />
blood alcohol limits in this time<br />
period.<br />
Christchurch central is first<br />
on this list, with officers there<br />
charging 1993 drivers with such<br />
offences, south Christchurch sits<br />
third with 675 and New Brighton<br />
Police Station was fourth with<br />
658.<br />
The legal breath alcohol limit<br />
in New Zealand is 250mcg/l.<br />
The highest breath alcohol<br />
readings recorded between<br />
20<strong>17</strong> and 2019 in the Papanui<br />
area were 1519mcg/l in<br />
20<strong>17</strong>, 1442mcg/l in 2018 and<br />
1669mcg/l in 2019.<br />
There were 4812 excess breath<br />
and blood alcohol offences in<br />
Christchurch between 20<strong>17</strong> and<br />
2019.<br />
The number of drink driving<br />
offences decreased over this<br />
three year period. There were<br />
<strong>17</strong>42 offences in 20<strong>17</strong>, 1539 offences<br />
in 2018 and 1531 in 2019.<br />
Canterbury Road Policing<br />
Manager Greg Cottam said these<br />
statistics are promising but any<br />
drink driving at all is too much.<br />
“Over time we’ve seen a drop,<br />
which is great, but it comes back<br />
to the fact that any drink driving<br />
is one too many and the potential<br />
for serious harm for other road<br />
users is unacceptable. We have a<br />
no-tolerance policy for alcohol<br />
and one is one too many.”<br />
Meanwhile, in July a police<br />
CHECKPOINT:<br />
Statistics<br />
have revealed<br />
which areas of<br />
Christchurch<br />
the most<br />
drink drivers<br />
were caught<br />
between 20<strong>17</strong><br />
and 2019.<br />
clamp-down on drink driving<br />
saw them stop and breath test<br />
14042 Canterbury motorists.<br />
Of these, 68 were over the legal<br />
breath alcohol limit.<br />
They trialled microcheckpoints<br />
as part of this,<br />
which require as few as one<br />
police car and officer to set up<br />
and carry out.<br />

Connecting people across globe through art<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A JAPANESE artist’s dream of<br />
connecting people through art<br />
from across the globe has come<br />
to life.<br />
Nearly 400 pieces of art are on<br />
display in a wave-like form at<br />
South Library in Cashmere, with<br />
its bright colours and symbols of<br />
life representing world peace of<br />
the future.<br />
St Albans artist Haruko<br />
Furukawa is behind the art<br />
extravaganza and said the theme<br />
of her exhibition, Big Bang 11,<br />
was something she held close to<br />
her heart.<br />
“My intention is to save the<br />
world with art, and to connect<br />
people’s hearts and lives through<br />
artwork,” she said.<br />
“This exhibition makes people<br />
feel closer to one another.”<br />
Artists of different generations<br />
far and wide from chipped into<br />
the project, from New Zealand,<br />
Japan and Singapore, to the<br />
United States, Europe.<br />
By combining the artworks<br />
from across the world, it represented<br />
a multitude of cultures<br />
and how they would interpret<br />
a future world where peace was<br />
celebrated.<br />
“Imagination can be a medium<br />
for happiness,” said Furukawa.<br />
“I believe the power of art can<br />
turn a negative experience into a<br />
positive one.”<br />
Furukawa’s father died of<br />
a heart attack when she was<br />
4-years-old.<br />
Dealing with the raw emotion<br />
following on from his death at<br />
such a young age was the catalyst<br />
behind her love and passion for<br />
painting.<br />
“When I was four, my father<br />
passed away. I woke up one<br />
morning and he’d had a heart attack.<br />
He was a writer,” she said.<br />
PRIDE: Traditional Japanese<br />
painter Haruko Furukawa’s<br />
new exhibition, Big Bang<br />
11, contains more than 400<br />
pieces from artists around<br />
the globe.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
“I was so young and couldn’t<br />
understand the meaning of<br />
death and I didn’t know how<br />
to deal with the empty feeling I<br />
had.<br />
“Then I discovered that art and<br />
painting gives me so much happiness,<br />
and I knew in the future<br />
from then that I wanted to make<br />
other people happy through my<br />
art too.”<br />
Born in Osaka, the avid<br />
painter moved to Christchurch<br />
18 years ago and teaches art to<br />
many groups in her community.<br />
She also created murals across<br />
the city and took part in a number<br />
of events which showcase<br />
the world of art, such as live<br />
paintings.<br />
The Big Bang 11 exhibition will<br />
run each day until <strong>September</strong> 30<br />
at South Library.<br />

Well-located family home<br />
offers space and flow<br />
A tree-lined street, so characteristic<br />
of our Garden City, is the location of<br />
this spacious, four-bedroom home in<br />
Harewood, which has just come on to the<br />
market.<br />
Warm and sunny, the property offers<br />
a wealth of features that will appeal to<br />
those looking for an attractive, wellmaintained<br />
family home to settle down<br />
in and make their own.<br />
Probably first to attract attention will<br />
be the light-filled, open-plan kitchen/<br />
living space, with doors leading to a<br />
large deck creating that all-important<br />
indoor-outdoor flow and providing the<br />
opportunity for family barbecues, alfresco<br />
dining, or just a spot to relax in the<br />
sun.<br />
Adjacent to the living area is a separate<br />
dining area, while the modern, wellappointed<br />
kitchen features crisp white<br />
joinery and plenty of bench space.<br />
The home has four double bedrooms,<br />
the master with en suite bathroom, and<br />
a family bathroom. A log burner keeps<br />
the whole place warm and cosy on the<br />
coldest winter days and nights, plus<br />
there is a heat pump for the in-between<br />
times, and the south-facing bedrooms are<br />
double-glazed.<br />
The pleasing neutral décor and quality<br />
Rhino carpet means there is nothing to<br />
spend on re-decorating – just add your<br />
furniture and personal touch.<br />
Another notable feature of this<br />
property is the large double garage with<br />
shelving providing extra storage space,<br />
plus there is secure off-street parking.<br />
Ideal for busy families, the garden is<br />
low maintenance with mature shrubs and<br />
trees, although there is plenty of scope for<br />
further creativity, while a tree hut with a<br />
fireman’s pole could be the clincher for<br />
the kids.<br />
Located at 8 Crofton Road, Harewood,<br />
the home is close to two high-decile<br />
primary schools – Costwold School and<br />
Harewood School. The Bishopdale Mall is<br />
just a few minutes away, with Northlands<br />
Mall also within short driving distance,<br />
there are cafes close by, and the airport is<br />
literally five minutes’ drive away.<br />
The property is being marketed by<br />
Penny Wilson of Ray White Bishopdale<br />
and will be auctioned at the Ray White<br />
Strowan office on <strong>September</strong> 23 at<br />
4.30pm.<br />
For an appointment to view the<br />
property, contact Penny on<br />

Digital needs increasing<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A SCHEME to provide<br />
computers to community<br />
organisations in need across the<br />
city has proven popular, with<br />
digital needs increasing due to<br />
Covid-19.<br />
The city council’s Computers<br />
to the Community Scheme offers<br />
computers for free to not-forprofit<br />
groups to help them deliver<br />
services more efficiently.<br />
Excluding the lockdown,<br />
between July 2019 and June this<br />
year, 220 laptops and desktops<br />
were distributed to organisations,<br />
such as St Christopher’s Anglican<br />
Church, Delta Community<br />
Support Trust and the<br />
Multicultural Youth Association.<br />
Charity Kilmarnock<br />
Enterprises employs people<br />
with intellectual disabilities to<br />
provide outsourcing solutions for<br />
businesses, such as packaging or<br />
refurbishing needs and received<br />
four desktops and laptops.<br />
Said chief executive Michael<br />
Toothill: “We haven’t had the<br />
budget to purchase new ones<br />
ourselves, and we needed to find<br />
an alternative way to save costs.<br />
“We started to sell eco-friendly<br />
cleaning products and needed<br />
equipment to run the dispatch<br />
side of things. We had a gap<br />
to fill in business because we<br />
refurbished headsets for Air New<br />

Zealand’s international flights,<br />
but that’s gone on hold.<br />
“Directly for us, it ensures<br />
we can retain jobs and has<br />
been<br />
a huge benefit to our employees.”<br />
In the past few months, the<br />
city council noted an increase in<br />
requests from groups working<br />
with multi-cultural communities<br />
and have allocated about 50<br />
computers to organisations<br />
with a variety of cultural<br />
backgrounds.<br />
City council head of<br />
community support, governance<br />
and partnerships John Filsell<br />
said the cost associated with<br />
purchasing the technology was<br />
often a barrier.<br />
Said Filsell: “Covid-19<br />
highlighted the need and use of<br />
technology to feel connected, to<br />
keep in touch with friends and<br />
family both overseas and within<br />
New Zealand to get information,<br />
continuing education and<br />
support the ability to continue to<br />
work.<br />
“Some groups have made the<br />
computers available to those who<br />
do not have them.’’<br />
Meeting demand was not a<br />
major issue but at times the city<br />
council experienced a higher<br />
demand which meant some<br />
groups had to wait longer to<br />
receive their computers.<br />
‘It is an absolute<br />
embarrassment’<br />
• From page 1<br />
“There is great opportunity<br />
here but like we have said, this<br />
was developed in the 60s and<br />
things have changed a little.<br />
He said he could envisage the<br />
mall becoming more boutique<br />
and similar to the Tannery.<br />
“That type of boutique mall on<br />
this side of town would work really<br />
well, there is a big catchment<br />
for it.”<br />
However, city councillor Sara<br />
Templeton said she could not<br />
support the plan as she did not<br />
see it as a priority for council<br />
resources.<br />
“We have got clear evidence<br />
. . . that shows that the inner-city<br />
east and New Brighton areas<br />
should be the priority for revitalisation,”<br />
she said.<br />
City councillor James Gough<br />
labelled this as “disgusting.”<br />
“We have massive influence<br />
here, it is one of the few areas<br />
where the council is actually the<br />
main landowner in a major retail<br />
area,” he said.<br />
“We are essentially the mall<br />
owner here, we have large<br />
tenants that are crying out to<br />
partner with us, you have a<br />
community that is desperate<br />
to see the council re-invest in<br />
something that it has a duty to,<br />
you look at the private sector<br />
that will re-invest in malls every<br />
five to seven years in a major<br />
re-vamp, nothing has happened<br />
from the council.<br />
“It is an absolute<br />
embarrassment and we have the<br />
ability to do something about<br />
this in existing budgets and I<br />
have got councillors wanting<br />
to vote against it, absolutely<br />
disgusting.”<br />
In spite of Templeton’s protests,<br />
the plan passed.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community board<br />
will now play a leading role in<br />
the development of the investment<br />
case. The progression of the<br />
case to the council table for sign<br />
off will hinge on the approval of<br />
the community board.<br />
Board chairman David<br />
Cartwright said while he was<br />
“excited” by the progress, there<br />
was still a lot of work to do.<br />
“It is one thing to get the<br />
fish on the hook but to get it in<br />
the boat is another thing,” he<br />
said.<br />
Cartwright said he was<br />
looking forward to working<br />
alongside key stakeholders in the<br />
development of the case.

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
Natural support<br />
for healthy joints<br />
Joint issues will affect most of us at some<br />
time. They can show up in any joint such<br />
as in your neck, back, shoulders, elbows,<br />
wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles and feet.<br />
Cartilage is the protective surfaces<br />
between moving bones that allows them<br />
to move freely. It is constantly worn away<br />
and needs to be rebuilt on a constant<br />
basis. This repair process slows down for<br />
most of us as we age. The result is not<br />
enough cartilage in some joints causing<br />
the joint function to be less smooth. This<br />
is the most common form of arthritis,<br />
called osteoarthritis, and it leads to<br />
inflammation, pain, stiffness and reduced<br />
mobility of the joint.<br />
Joint pain can also be a factor in falls.<br />
Generally joints with the most use or stress<br />
show problems first.<br />
Many people seek pain relief from<br />
their doctor. The usual prescription is<br />
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,<br />
or NSAIDs, which offer pain relief but<br />
do nothing to stop the progression of the<br />
arthritis.<br />
According to the British Journal<br />
of General Practice, NSAIDs are not<br />
recommended for long term use and are<br />
responsible for 30% of hospital admissions,<br />
mainly due to internal bleeding, heart<br />
attack, stroke and renal damage. Research<br />
shows all NSAIDs double the risk of<br />
hospitalization due to heart failure.<br />
Supporting the body with the right<br />
supplementary nutrients has been found<br />
to be highly beneficial in supporting joint<br />
health for many people.<br />
A local Christchurch company, Kiwi<br />
Natural Health or KNH, has produced an<br />
advanced, high-potency formula called<br />
“Joint Care Plus” to support healthy joint<br />
function.<br />
Inflammation of joints can cause<br />
pain and slows the healing process.<br />
Joint Care Plus contains turmeric,<br />
ginger and black pepper to help reduce<br />
inflammation and pain, and enhance<br />
digestion and absorption of its nutrients.<br />
The formula also contains nutrients that<br />
have been researched to support joint<br />
health, including boron, selenium, zinc,<br />
manganese, proline and MSM, as well<br />
as the highly researched glucosamine<br />
sulfate potassium chloride complex, and<br />
chondroitin sulfate.<br />
This comprehensive formula is in<br />
an easy to swallow capsule. Due to the<br />
amount of nutrients in the formula it<br />
is recommended to take two or three<br />
capsules once daily to achieve a necessary<br />
amount of each nutrient. In severe cases a<br />
loading dose of three capsules twice daily<br />
may be used.<br />
KNH JOINT CARE PLUS and further<br />
information is available from the natural<br />
health advisers, medical herbalists<br />
and naturopath at Marshall’s Health &<br />
Natural Therapy.<br />
ADVANCED NATURAL<br />
NUTRITION<br />
FOR HEALTHY<br />
JOINTS<br />
Are your joints painful, stiff, noisy, swollen or<br />
inflamed? This is often caused by a lack of<br />
cartilage, the soft spongy material in all joints<br />
between the moving bones. Sufficient cartilage<br />
allows the joints to move freely. KNH JOINT<br />
CARE PLUS contains a comprehensive formula<br />
of nutrients known to support the body maintain<br />
& replace cartilage & connective tissue as well<br />
as reduce inflammation & pain. The high potency<br />
formula is in easy to swallow capsules with<br />
advanced absorption technology for faster results.<br />
KNH JOINT CARE PLUS SUPPORTS:<br />
- Cartilage, ligaments & connective tissue regeneration<br />
- Inflammation & swelling relief<br />
- Pain relief<br />
- Joint flexibility<br />
- Healthy joint function<br />

A FIRST: Selwyn House School year 8 pupils Alice (left), Freya, Rain, Honor<br />
and Coco apply their new artificial intelligence learnings to “Cosmo the<br />
Robot.” <br />
Artificial intelligence<br />
curriculum at<br />
Selwyn House School<br />
THE RAPID growth<br />
of artificial intelligence<br />
in today’s world has<br />
prompted a Merivale<br />
school to establish<br />
the country’s first AI<br />
curriculum for pupils.<br />
The programme will be<br />
available for year 8 pupils<br />
at Selwyn House School<br />
and will cover subjects<br />
such as AI perception,<br />
machine learning, human<br />
AI interaction and societal<br />
impact.<br />
Principal Dr Lyn Bird<br />
said the course has so far<br />
been well received by the<br />
pupils, who have been taking<br />
part over the last eight<br />
weeks.<br />
“With a technology that<br />
is developing as rapidly as<br />
this, I think it is crucial<br />
that we give our<br />
future workforce an<br />
understanding of the opportunities<br />
and risks that<br />
this technology<br />
brings,” she said.<br />
“As far as we are aware,<br />
there is no other AI curriculum<br />
in the country<br />
catering to this age group,<br />
and only one or two<br />
around the world.”<br />
With the help of science<br />
and mechatronics teacher<br />
Simon Christie, they<br />
started developing their<br />
own curriculum last year,<br />
which was introduced to<br />
pupils for the first time this<br />
term.<br />
The school’s mechatronics<br />
curriculum had covered<br />
AI in the past, but there<br />
was no dedicated course<br />
for it.<br />
“Having a course<br />
dedicated to this particular<br />
technology has been<br />
fantastic and the understanding<br />
that these pupils<br />
are going to walk away<br />
with is so important,” said<br />
Christie.<br />
Selwyn House student<br />
Honor Forbes said learning<br />
about AI was important<br />
in helping others.<br />
“People should not take<br />
it too lightly because, while<br />
it can be really useful by<br />
helping to eliminate human<br />
errors, such as with<br />
self-drive cars, if we are<br />
not aware of algorithmic<br />
bias then we completely<br />
defeat that purpose,” she<br />
said.<br />
“The more people that<br />
are aware of those risks,<br />
the more chance there is<br />
that we will avoid those<br />
mistakes, so I think that<br />
this is a really important<br />
thing to learn about at<br />
school.”<br />
Following its successful<br />
introduction, the AI<br />
curriculum will become a<br />
regular part of year<br />
8 learning at Selwyn<br />
House School.<br />
Said Christie: “Our year<br />
8 pupils now have not only<br />
increased knowledge about<br />
the current and potential<br />
uses of AI, but also a welldeveloped<br />
awareness of the<br />
ethical issues surrounding<br />
it such as algorithmic<br />
bias – an understanding<br />
that most adults would not<br />
have.”<br />
GROWTH: Selwyn<br />
House School<br />
principal Dr Lyn Bird<br />
and year 8 students<br />
learn more about<br />
artificial intelligence<br />
technology – the<br />
country’s first<br />
dedicated course<br />
catering for this age<br />
group at school.

Churches join forces<br />
to form foodbank<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
THREE CHURCHES<br />
in Avonhead have joined<br />
forces to form a foodbank<br />
in response to an increased<br />
demand for social support<br />
services in the city’s<br />
northwest.<br />
The foodbank will be<br />
located at St Christopher’s<br />
Anglican Church and is in<br />
partnership with St Mark’s<br />
Presbyterian Church and<br />
Avonhead Baptist Church.<br />
St Christopher’s vicar<br />
reverend Michael Brantley<br />
said the churches decided<br />
to work together because<br />
it was a task better served<br />
where resources could be<br />
shared to provide the new<br />
service for the community.<br />
“There’s been a great increase<br />
in need. The reality<br />
is many of the people living<br />
in this area have never<br />
been in that place before.<br />
They’ll probably go hungry<br />
before they ask for help,”<br />
he said.<br />
“These people are pilots,<br />
own businesses directly<br />
related to tourism and own<br />
homes that have become<br />
food vulnerable for the first<br />
time due to unemployment.<br />
But they still have<br />
bills to pay.”<br />
Brantley said they were<br />
partly relying on people in<br />
the churches to distribute<br />
food parcels to people they<br />
knew in a bid to connect<br />
with those who do not<br />
reach out themselves.<br />
“We know some people<br />
won’t come out and queue<br />
up. They won’t be asking<br />
but we know they’re vulnerable.”<br />
Operating the foodbank<br />
in recent weeks proved its<br />
importance in the community<br />
due to high demand.<br />
Brantley anticipated that<br />
this will continue to be a<br />
growing need in the coming<br />
months as the country<br />
begins to see the full economic<br />
downfall caused by<br />
Covid-19.<br />
“We anticipated that this<br />
will be a growing need,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We know by next June<br />
WORKING<br />
TOGETHER: St<br />
Christopher’s<br />
Anglican<br />
Church youth<br />
pastor Josiah<br />
Langan (left)<br />
and Jocelyn<br />
Murray, of<br />
Avonhead<br />
Baptist Church,<br />
help distribute<br />
parcels at a<br />
new foodbank<br />
set up by three<br />
churches in the<br />
area.<br />
that we’ll see the bottom of<br />
this economic trough, that<br />
means another whole year<br />
of recovery.”<br />
The “sophisticated” food<br />
parcels were pre-packaged<br />
and can be picked up at the<br />
church and can be tailored<br />
for individual dietary<br />
needs.<br />
To help the churches<br />
run the foodbank, the city<br />
council provided a laptop<br />
and desktop computers as<br />
part of its Computers to<br />
the Community Scheme.<br />
Making the process<br />
more efficient meant they<br />
had to spend more than<br />
$2000 to set up the service<br />
to make it usable, such as<br />
refurbishing the space.<br />
Brantley was grateful<br />
for the support of the city<br />
council, the effort of the<br />
three church teams and of<br />
the public’s contributions.<br />
“I feel like we’re making<br />
a real difference in our<br />
community. Having the<br />
rug ripped from under you<br />
can really knock the wind<br />
out of you,” he said.<br />

Landlords What is A Healthy Homes Statement?<br />
There is now less than three months until all NZ landlords<br />
are required by law to provide a Healthy Homes Statement<br />
as part of all new tenancy agreements, as well as for any<br />
tenancy renewals.<br />
You may be well aware of this looming deadline but we are<br />
highlighting this again. It is very important that you have<br />
your Statements ready to go, even if your property already<br />
has a tenant. As always preparation is the key . What if<br />
your tenants decide to give notice and you then have to<br />
scramble to get a report done?<br />
Reflecting back on the legislation that came into effect for<br />
meeting insulation requirements, at the time it became<br />
Feature Properties<br />
almost impossible to get inspectors in to get the reports<br />
done, and undoubtedly there will once again be landlords<br />
out there leaving it right up until the last minute. Don’t let<br />
that be you as this will almost certainly cause a delay in you<br />
re-tenanting the property.<br />
