New bottle
store
application
labelled
‘ridiculous’
• By Bea Gooding
THREE BOTTLE stores operating
within 200m of each other in
Papanui has been described as
“ridiculous.”
BD Bottle Ltd has applied to open
“Bottle O Papanui” at 30 Main
North Rd, with proposed opening
hours from Monday to Sunday
between 10am and 10pm.
Papanui resident Mel Price said
it was “ridiculous” to have three
liquor outlets within metres of each
other.
Just 50m away was Super Liquor
Papanui, another 180m up Main
North Rd was Thirsty Liquor Papanui,
along with alcohol options
at Northlands Shopping Centre’s
Pak’n Save and Countdown.
“I would like to encourage as
many residents and businesses as
possible to object this, as it is ridiculous
to have three outlets within
180m of each other,” she said.
“If no one objects, then this will
simply go through.”
Price was concerned because the
proposed store was in close proximity
to where many children often
gathered.

Shopping trolleys plague neighbourhood
• By Bea Gooding
RAY O’ROURKE is on a mission
to rid his neighbourhood of
rogue shopping trolleys.
The Casebrook resident has
been locked in a battle with
businesses from Northlands
Shopping Centre for the last two
years in order for them to remove
their trolleys from streets near
the mall.
He said he has had to call businesses
nearly every week as abandoned
trolleys from Countdown
and The Warehouse were often
blocking footpaths.
“I’m sick of it, I don’t want my
suburb to look like a rubbish
bin,” he said.
“Quite a few people walk
around here, I wouldn’t say it’s a
danger, it’s an eyesore more than
anything.
“Obviously it’s a problem for
the supermarkets because they’ve
got to go and pick them up, but
at the end of the day it’s their
problem and they need to find a
way to resolve it.”
Businesses were usually compliant
and removed them upon
request, but at times they could
“lay around for days on end.”
Because he lived further away
from the mall, sometimes staff
would miss trolleys near his
home as they would often check

“The thing is, people shouldn’t
have to be ringing them up all

A Countdown spokeswoman
said it was not uncommon for
trolleys to go missing and the
company considered taking of
trolleys as theft.
“It’s not unusual for trolleys
to go missing from time to
time and our teams have processes
in place to manage this,”
she said.
“We would of course
encourage customers not to take
baskets or trolleys away with
them as this is actually theft, and
it also disadvantages anyone else
who needs to use them when

Pink Ribbon walk in memory of
FUN: With 5km and 10km routes, the walks
are accessible to everyone, no matter their
age or fitness level.
BEVAN SANDISON is doing the
Pink Ribbon Walk next month in
memory of his mother Raewynne who
lost her battle with breast cancer in
April 2018.
“I’m doing this walk, along with
my kids, Katie, 12, and Emma, 9, to
remember my mum/their nana,” he
said.
“She was an amazingly strong
woman, who inspirationally fought
the good fight for us, for a few years
after being diagnosed, giving us some
extra time to grow new memories
with her.”
Sandison said his mother was
diagnosed after finding a lump in
2013. As it was caught early she was
able to get radiation treatment. The
treatment was considered a success
and the prognosis was great. She was
able to continue working as a secondary
school teacher through until she
retired a year or so later.
“However, very shortly afterwards,
and with big plans ahead for her retirement
with dad, her world and ours,
got turned upside down when one
Sunday morning, whilst lifting a bag
of groceries out of the car boot, a bone
in her upper arm suddenly broke clean
through,” said Sandison.
“X-rays and scans then confirmed
the worst, that her treatment hadn’t
been as successful as had thought, but
rather, had metastasised into stage 4
cancer, having spread to her bones.
“Being given the new prognosis
that stage 4 has no cure, was literally
devastating news, and I will always
vividly remember sitting there with
mum at the hospital receiving the

“The following couple of years were
riddled with hospital visits, radiation
treatment to shrink tumours that
kept appearing on the spine and other
places, and various drug treatments.
Having damaged a nerve in her arm
when her arm broke, affecting
her hand meaning she was no longer
able to drive, the resultant trips to the
oncologist became a regular part of
live for the family as we all chipped in
to help with transport and to attend
and support mum.
“Through it all, including some
very tough times, the care and
treatment mum received was simply
amazing, and the new oral chemo
pill she was on, did a wonderful job
of extending her time, and allowing
us to enjoy some valuable time with
her, and for her to see her grandkids
get a couple of years older, before she
finally had to leave us.”

Recognition for student’s photo
• By Bea Gooding
CLAUDIA O’Shannessey’s
passion for protecting the
environment has resulted in
the year 13 student taking
out one of the top spots at an
international competition.
The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
student’s photo, Sustainable

came second
out of nearly
200 entries
at the annual

competition.

The competition
gives
young people
a platform to research environmental
issues and promote
solutions through investigative
reporting, photography and
video journalism.
Said Claudia: “When I first
found out I was pretty ecstatic.
It felt like a huge privilege to
represent New Zealand and to
get such an outstanding result
world wide to me is one of my
greatest achievements.”
“I entered because I wanted a
way to make a difference whilst
pursuing my passion and using
my strengths.”
Claudia was one of three
New Zealand students who
won awards in the litter less
campaign category, with entries
related to the topic of litter and
waste.
Her photo, which was placed
in the photography 15-18 years
category, features her younger
sister, Sienna, collecting waste
on Sumner beach.
The “huge” sunrise
represented the start of a new
day and symbolised the start of
something new, or change.
“You can clearly see her
silhouette where she is eagerly
dragging the trash bin in order
to make a change. Small acts
matter,’’ she said.
“She’s a surfer from Sumner
who is protecting what she cares
about and ultimately fixing
something she didn’t cause.”
Sustainability was something
the student held close to her
heart as it determined the future
of her generation and beyond.
“I am proud of my Maori heritage
and I wanted this photo
to capture the powerful essence
of our land and water as taonga
(treasures), and our spiritual
connection to our land, Papatuanuku,”
she said.
“It worries me when thinking
about the consequences

of climate change and our
changing earth, however, I
believe it’s not too late to make a
difference.”
When Claudia leaves school
she plans to continue harnessing
her creative energy into
projects where she can make a
change.
“My goals for the near future
are to study law whilst expanding
my photography and creative
skills,” she said.
“I hope to gain a degree where
I can use my education and
talents to bring attention and
raise awareness to issues that
affect our youth and the future
of our world.”
Negative health
outcomes need
to be addressed
•From page 1
A large bus stop opposite
the proposed store was used
extensively by school children
and teenagers from Papanui High
School.
Said Price: “Another outlet in
this area means that there will be
easier access to alcohol. It’s well
documented that more liquor
stores ultimately leads to increased
drinking in the area.
“Papanui is a liquor ban area,
and this was put in place some
years ago to decrease trouble
caused by alcohol in the area.”
Papanui-Innes Community
Board member Simon Britten said
the board was unable to make any
submissions or decisions on the
application.
But the negative health and
social outcomes of alcohol needed
to be considered, he said. when the
district licencing committee made
their decision.
He questioned whether the
“small stretch of road” needed a
new store.
“I am still interested in hearing
from members of the public to
determine my own view on it, but
I absolutely encourage them to
make submissions.”
The public has until October 19
to object the application.

Auction achieves
29 per cent above RV
103 Wildberry Street in Woolston was the
stand-out property in last week’s Wednesday
auctions at Ray White Strowan, stunning
many hopeful buyers and continuing to prove
to homeowners that interest in Christchurch
property is at an all-time high.
Ray White Strowan agent Jiby Thomas, who
marketed and sold the property, was equally
impressed with the results achieved at auction
on Wednesday.
“We had incredible interest in this property
and from the first open home, we knew it was
going to be popular. An exceptional marketing
campaign saw more than 45 groups attend
the open homes, with four registered bidders
turning out on auction day to compete for the
keys after just 21 days on the market,” Jiby says.
Bidding opened at $400,000. From then
on, an intensive round of bidding and
counterbidding from several attendees saw the
hammer finally fall at $560,000, an incredible
$125,000 (29 per cent) above the Rateable value
of $435,000.
As Barry Ellis, who owns the Ray White
Bishopdale and Ray White Strowan offices,
says, “More and more, the auction method is
being seen as the best way to achieve the best
price for our vendors, and it seems even banks
are now on-board with auction preference – as
we note pre-approval priority is being given if
they’re buying at auction.”
When competition for property is at these
kinds of levels the auction method is simply
the best opportunity for vendors to achieve
exceptional prices and gives a fair opportunity
to all interested purchasers to secure the keys,
Barry says.
“As we moved towards the end of September,
we had a record number of auctions called by
our Ray White offices across Christchurch for
the month, breaking all previous records,” says
Ray White New Zealand South Island regional
manager Jane Meyer.
Jiby Thomas says the market couldn’t be
more exciting, with huge interest being shown
in the Canterbury market from a diverse range
of buyers.
“It’s been a remarkable couple of months
for the whole office with auctions proving as
popular as ever because of the competition it
creates, and you’re hard-pushed in the current
market to not have multiple bidders on each
property.
“103 Wildberry Street is just another
example of the incredible results we’re
achieving for our vendors and is a testament
to the strength in the market we’re seeing right
now. The demand for property is higher than
ever and that’s evidenced in the fact we’re often
seeing more than 50 groups coming through
open homes,” Jiby says.

Lachie’s loud way to be heard
LACHIE BARTLETT vividly
remembers the moment his
cochlear implant was switched on
for the first time when he was an
eight-year-old.
“My family was behind the
one-way mirror that looked into
the room,” said Bartlett, who is
profoundly deaf.
“I remember Mum saying: ‘Hi
Lachie’ from the other side of the
glass. I smiled immediately. The
next sound I heard was the crying
of my nana and Mum.”
That was 14 years ago.
The former St Bede’s College head
boy, now 23, has since graduated
with a law degree from Canterbury
University and took up an exchange
opportunity to study at the University
of Nottingham in the United
Kingdom. He now works in Wellington.
Bartlett, and thousands of other
adults and children with cochlear
implants, are the focus of loud shirt
day 2020 – a national fundraising
event and awareness campaign on
October 23.
New Zealanders are encouraged
to dress up in their brightest outfits
and hold fundraising events at
workplaces, homes and schools
throughout the country.
Loud shirt day is the annual appeal
of The Hearing House and the
Southern Cochlear Implant Programme
– the only two charities in
New Zealand dedicated to helping
children and adults with a cochlear
implant learn to listen and speak.
Bartlett’s hearing loss was
diagnosed when he was 18-monthsold.
He lost his hearing completely
when he was eight, mid-way
through playing a game of tennis.
“I remember falling over at the
tennis courts and being disorientated,
and my hearing aids just
refused to work. The sudden nature
of my hearing loss was incredibly
scary for me and my family,” Bartlett
said.
“I became a recluse. I wouldn’t
say much, I preferred to be alone at
home and I did not enjoy school.
The loss of my hearing crippled
my confidence and shackled my
ability to continue developing relationships
with those around me,”
Bartlett said.
The cochlear implant has enabled
him to reach his full potential.
“Thanks to my cochlear implant,
I was able to travel halfway around
the world studying and doing my
OE like so many other Kiwis before
me. I now have the ability to choose
whatever path I want to take in
life.”
Surgery and the subsequent
switch-on is only one part of the
cochlear implant process. Patients
need to learn how to use the
technology and interpret the new
sounds through ongoing audiology

“A local team for local people”
and speech and language therapy.
“The switch-on is significant, but
it’s just the first step in a marathon,”
said Bartlett.
“The ongoing rehabilitation and
support from organisations like
SCIP and THH are equally important
but sadly don’t get the same
amount of attention.
“The cochlear implant is like getting
your first car, something that
has endless potential to take you
anywhere, but if you are not empowered
to be able to use it you’ll
just stay stuck in the drive.”
Bartlett regularly participates in
loud shirt day, and encourages others
to do the same.
“The funds raised by loud shirt
day helped me and will help children
and adults in the future to
focus on their abilities – enabling
them to view their disability as an
opportunity, rather than a burden.
You have the chance to change
people’s lives.
“The money raised for loud shirt
day is a direct investment in the
lives of those who want to hear.”
SUPPORT: Lachie Bartlett,
who is profoundly deaf,
encourages others to take
part in loud shirt day to
fundraise for charities
who work with the deaf
community.

Aroha Salon celebrates
one year in Kendal Ave
In an unusually challenging year,
Paula Page has created a warm and
welcoming hair salon. Paula sees
Aroha as more than just a salon,
her customers enjoy the friendly
atmosphere, often popping in for a
chat.
Aroha Salon was opened October
2019 on Paula’s return to Christchurch.
Born in the Chatham Islands, she still
runs her salon there regularly. She
also previously owned and operated
Clipotec in Riccarton Road.
Paula’s expertise covers all aspects of
hairdressing, all ages and styles. She
takes the time to listen to your needs
and offers practical haircare advice
and styling tips. Paula’s high standards
also extend to the cleanliness of the
salon with people often commenting
on the clean, fresh feel.
‘‘
Ph 357 0002
162a Kendal Ave, Burnside (Memorial Ave end)
Opening Hours
Tuesday to Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday 9am-2pm
Late night Thursday or by appointment
Hair by Jeanette
With over 24 years’ experience,
Jeanette has as much passion for hair,
fun, fashion, tone and colour as when
she first started.
After owning her own salon in Opawa
for over eleven years, Jeanette has
spent the last 5 years working in a salon
in Bishopdale Mall. She is now very
excited to be back working for herself,
just 5mins from her former location, at
Aroha Salon on Kendal Ave.
“I love working with clients, expressing
their personality through style and
My aim is that everyone walks
out of the salon feeling a million
dollars, knowing how to maintain
their style and provide great
value for money.
Paula loves the change of seasons,

With more than 37 years in the

her second year as owner of Victoria

those who love the natural look. We
have bouquets available plus a large
selection of loose dried flowers,
perfect for those who like to create
their own bunches,” says Leanne.
Leanne regularly starts her day at
5.30am, heading to the flower market
to select the freshest, brightest, most
beautiful flowers. “Because we have
a high turnover daily, this ensures

we really care.” Leanne is happiest
when creating her exquisite funeral
arrangements. “If my flowers can
help families in grief – that means
everything to me” she says.
Nothing is too big or small to
celebrate with flowers and Victoria

Positive music album proving popular
• By Bea Gooding
MICHAL BUSH has always had
a passion for connecting with
children through the world of
music.
The mother of three has now
become a hit on YouTube, with
her song Kindness is Free, stacking
up more
than 40,000
views.
The positive
song, which
came out in
2019, helped
Michal Bush
her and other
parents talk to
their children about the March
15 mosque attacks and the importance
of kindness.
To help families take a break
from the “overwhelming”
anxieties of the world during
Covid-19, Bush created Can You
Make Music? – a new, 15-track
children’s music album with an
overarching theme of well-being.
Bush said the album was
recorded during the lockdown
and took three to four months
to complete, with the help of a
funding grant from Creative
New Zealand.
“Music is an incredible tool for
heavy issues. I think the world
is so overwhelming, and as a
parent and teacher, it’s a heavy

responsibility to take the anxiety
out of the world to protect your
kids,” she said.
“So this is using music in a
positive way to help children focus
on the goodness in the world,
and as parents, it helps you to
take a deep breath, have fun, and
see that life is beautiful.”
Bush has always loved music
and has been songwriting since
she was a child. She started
focusing on children’s music for
the last eight years following the
birth of her daughter.
Ever since, she has performed
in numerous early childhood
centres, pre-schools, trusts and
online to develop children’s interest
in singing and rhythm with
her Music with Michal Club.
“It’s [music] so much a part
of who I am, how I process the
world, how I get my thoughts out
and how I connect with other
people,” she said.
“I’m so drawn to children’s
music because I love the wonder
and awe of it, it’s the best job
ever. Children are such a wonderful
audience, they come with
so much joy.”
Her songs have been used as a
resource by teachers and parents
across the country. Her children
were a “big” part of the process
having heard the album through
its different stages of completion
and also sang in a few songs.
Said Bush: “Thanks to the
grant from Creative NZ, I was
able to hire my friends who are
amazing producers to help produce
the album, which we made
from our own homes. It was a
very cool process.
“The album brings joy and
connection between parent
and child, which celebrates
the childlike point of view of
the world, sparks creativity in
children and helps parents feel
like kids again.”
•The Can You Make
Music? album was
released last month and

• By Jess Gibson
WITH MORE than 100 edible
species in his garden, Dave
Bryce would give any vegetable
shop a run for its money.
Which is why the Mt
Pleasant resident, who is also
the chairman of Redcliffs/Te
Rae Kura Eco Village Group,
was successful at the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Edible
Garden Awards.
He received a special
award for Best Sustainability
Features and was one of seven
recognised in the Residential
House Category.
The awards were presented to
Mr Bryce at a ceremony held at
the Matuku Takotako: Sumner

The project is being funded by
the first crowdfunding campaign
under taken in New Zealand for a

However, before work starts on
the complex, Ohu Development
will need to raise between
$800,000 and $1.4 million in its
second round of crowdfunding,
which is planned to start on
April 2.
The public will decide whether
