Proving age is no barrier 

to keeping fit and mobile 

• By Samantha Mythen 

LIN CLARK, an 81-year-old 

energetic gym-goer believes 

age is no excuse for not making 

your fitness and mobility a 

priority. 

Clark, of Opawa, makes up a 

trio of inspiring active women 

attending the Female Federation 

gym in Ferrymead who all share 

their birthdays this month. 

Isabel Mundy and Ngaire 

Onekawa are both set to turn 

80-years-old this month, on 

February 7 and 18 respectively. 

Clark’s 82nd birthday is on February 

15. 

All three powerhouse ladies 

regularly attend the gym, taking 

part in Pilates and balance 

classes, as well as working on 

their own cardio and weights 

routines. 

They are choosing to stay 

fit and healthy, defying the 

stereotype that aging holds you 

back from achieving an active 

lifestyle. 

Decked out with a Crusaders 

tattoo and a Rugby World Cup 

tattoo on each wrist, Onekawa is 

a keen sportswoman. 

She has always been active.

Yellow bins not for e-waste disposal 

SOME RESIDENTS are 

mistakenly disposing electronic 

devices in their yellow bins 

instead of dropping them off 

at the city council’s EcoDrop 

Recycling Centres or e-waste 

specialists. 

City council resource recovery 

manager Ross Trotter said, generally, 

recycling has improved 

across the city, 

with the rinsing 

of more 

bottles and 

containers and 

the removal of 

lids, which go 

in the red bin. 

Ross Trotter 

However, 

he said “we 

are continuing to see electronic 

waste and electronic appliances 

in these yellow bins rather than 

being left at our EcoDrop centres 

or with e-waste specialists.” 

“As you enjoy your new phone 

and electronic appliances, it’s 

important to get rid of the old 

ones the right way but e-waste 

and household electrical items 

are not on the yellow bin list,” 

said Trotter. 

However, he said there are 

plenty of other disposal options 

in Christchurch. 

Said Trotter: “Well-used 

RECYCLE: Electronic devices are being mistakenly put in some Christchurch residents’ yellow bins. 

mobiles or laptops – along with a 

multitude of redundant gaming 

devices – and TVs need not end 

up in the rubbish. 

“You can support a circular 

– and clean – economy when it 

comes to electronic waste and 

any effort to reduce waste, reuse, 

recycle or even reboot is invaluable. 

“There are several ways to dispose 

of unwanted items or even 

give old electronics a new life. 

“Many of the components 

or materials used in electronic 

devices can be recycled while 

unwanted items can also be rehomed. 

Being more aware of the 

recycling options close to your 

home and taking the time to 

ensure responsible disposal can 

contribute to an e-waste solution. 

“Just remember to delete your 

personal data from any electronic 

device and remove SIM 

cards from cellphones before 

disposal.” 

People can head to the local 

EcoDrop Recycling Centre or 

participating retail stores to dispose 

of batteries, including those 

used in laptops, cellphones and 

power tools at no cost. 

The EcoDrop Recycling 

Centres accept a wide range of 

household items in working and 

non-working condition for reuse 

and for free, with acceptance on 

inspection. 

Items include stereos, vacuum 

cleaners, power tools and printer 

toner cartridges. Most metal 

items are also accepted – free of 

charge – as scrap metal. 

Old phones – whatever their 

condition – can also be recycled 

via Re: Mobile, with collection 

spots scattered Christchurch. 

Kilmarnock Enterprises, in 

Wigram, also takes e-waste for 

dismantling and recycling. 

The charity accepts computers, 

computer-related equipment, 

phones, printers, televisions and 

more. 

There is a fee, depending on 

the items. By taking old electronics 

to Kilmarnock, people can 

help provide employment opportunities 

for individuals with 

disabilities. 

Another Wigram-based 

charity, the Molten Media 

Community Trust, accepts a 

range of electronic goods to 

refurbish and sell or to dismantle 

and dispose of unwanted 

components.

‘It’s a relief to find you’re still strong’ 

• From page 1 

The mother of three children, 

seven grandchildren and 12 

great-grandchildren, played 

netball until she was 42. She 

even competed against her own 

daughters. 

Clark has always found her 

energy outdoors in nature; a keen 

hiker, horse rider and gardener. 

She owns a remote cabin in 

Lewis Pass, and although is not 

climbing the nearby mountain 

heights, she still loves to wander 

through the beech trees. 

Mundy, who lives in Horotane 

Valley, used to work in her 

family’s fruit and tomato 

business which kept her strong 

and fit. When she finished up 

working, she decided to head to 

the gym. She’s been attending 

three times a week for the past 

four years. 

Onekawa, of Aranui, has kept 

up consistent gym practice for 

more than 12 years. She now 

attends Female Federation five 

times a week. 

Onekawa can do multiple 

push-ups, straight-backed 

with her knees up. She also said 

she can do side plank rotations 

and dips, and has completed 

200m within 15 minutes on the 

ski erg. 

Clark knows the importance of 

rest days. She has been attending 

the gym on and off since 1998, 

CAMARADERIE: Lin Clark, Isabel Mundy and Ngaire Onekawa all attend the gym multiple 

times a week, incorporating cardio, strength training, Pilates and balance exercises into 

their practice. 


and in spite of a hip replacement 

taking her out of the game for 

a while, she is building up her 

practice one again. Clark enjoys 

chin-ups, the chest press and leg 

press. 

“It’s a relief to find you’re still 

strong,” she said. 

When answering why they 

attended the gym, Onekawa 

promptly stood up from her 

chair. “This is why,” she said. 

Mundy agreed: “To keep my 

core strong!” 

Clark said: “As you get older, 

the physical stuff becomes 

terribly important and you 

become more aware of your body 

and how it works.” 

“Coming to the gym is a 

positive step to being a strong 

and complete person.” 

For Clark, getting to the gym 

is also important for the mental 

benefits. Her life passions have 

been education and theatre; 

in 2019, she was awarded the 

prestigious Drama New Zealand 

President’s Award, given to 

someone who has significantly 

contributed to the drama space 

over their lifetime. 

They all share the same goal: 

To keep going. 

There is strong camaraderie 

between the three women, 

and they love being part of 

the community at Female 

Federation. 

Onekawa said she gets coffee 

twice a week with her new found 

gym friends. 

“It’s a sisterhood here,” said 

Clark. 

Jill Kennedy, their personal 

trainer is 64-years-old. She 

only has glowing reviews of 

the fitness levels of the three 

women. 

“I cannot wait til I retire to 

be able to work out with them 

all.” 

Clark said: “We are lucky 

enough to be able to work out, 

and so we choose to make the 

most of this and continue to stay 

fit.”

Full steam ahead in Bill’s backyard 

• By Susan Sandys 

BILL STANLEY, 67, has created a 

model train lovers’ fantasy land in 

his backyard. 

When he and wife Maggie 

moved to their new home in Canterbury 

five years ago, Stanley saw 

“a blank canvas, just waiting for a 

garden railway layout.” 

He set to work, and today has 

eight model trains which run 

on more than 200m of track, set 

amongst a 27m diorama of buildings, 

settlements, fields and bridges. 

The trains pass through all sorts 

of activity amongst the Playmobil 

people, vehicles and buildings, 

including a wedding outside 

Lincoln Union Church, fields being 

harvested, and a quarry being 

mined. 

Some of the buildings, including 

the church, Stanley has made 

himself, learning first through 

the Canterbury Garden Railway 

Group of which he is a committee 

member, and then teaching himself 

along the way. 

The track and its impressive 

setting, at the couple’s home in Lincoln, 

is complete with a pond and 

real goldfish. It has been a labour of 

love, and one that has its origins in 

Stanley’s childhood. 

“Trains just fascinated me as a 

child and they still do, we have 

been from LA to New York by 

train,” he said. 

His grandfather William Stanley 

gave him a Hornby double O 

railway set when he was about 

five. 

William had worked on the 

railways, and Stanley has inherited 

the whistle that William used 

in his job, believed to be as an engineer, 

and keeps it on his garden 

railway key ring. 

Stanley kept the passion for 

trains and railways moving 

down the generations; he and 

Maggie bought their 29-year-old 

son Richard his first engine when 

he was a baby. 

They continued to add to the 

collection, and always incorporated 

train travel in their overseas 

trips. These were for professional 

purposes in earlier years 

as Stanley travelled as part of his 

job as a pharmaceutical company 

director. 

The trip through the United 

States was in the 1990s, while 

they also lived in Thailand for 

five years to 1998 and travelled 

extensively through Europe. 

“You can set your clock by the 

trains in Switzerland,” he said. 

While trains in Thailand at 

the time were substandard in 

comparison, they had been just as 

enjoyable to travel on as the country’s 

elephants and longboats. 

Stanley sometimes has groups 

come and view his backyard 

garden railway creation, and it is 

a hobby he enjoys with others in 

the garden railway group, which 

will be hosting the National 

Garden Railway Convention 

in Christchurch on Waitangi 

Weekend. 

He said setting up the train 

track, which runs from a purpose-built, 

life-size shed, takes 90

minutes each time. 

“It’s quite a lot of work to have 

them running to precision, it’s 

quite common to have derailments,” 

Stanley said. 

Obstacles such as stones or 

grit on the track, or interception 

by creatures such as the Stanley 

household’s pet cats or dogs, were 

the cause of such frustrations. 

One of the biggest challenges 

had been securing the track in 

ballast that wouldn’t move when 

a blower is used to remove pine 

needles which have fallen down 

from nearby trees.

Time 

for tea 

WELCOME: New 

entrants in the 

Pūhara Hub enjoying 

their first morning 

tea break at 

Spreydon School, Te 

Kura o Mōkihi. 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a non-profit 

organisation formed to protect one of New Zealand’s 

most important coastal wetlands. Each week, board 

members will discuss matters regarding the estuary, its 

rich history and what makes it unique. This week Bill 

Simpson writes about previous proposals to mitigate 

flooding at the estuary 

AMONG THE weird and 

wonderful ideas for the estuary 

is the concept of a dam or 

barrage. 

Such a barrier would give us 

control of tidal flows and cut the 

risk of flooding of the city and 

suburbs. Essentially, a “barrage” 

is a dam with gates. 

But each time the idea has 

cropped up it has been turned 

down because of the cost, financially 

and environmentally. 

The chief engineer of the 

drainage board suggested in 

1963, that a barrage be built 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Dam idea to help prevent flooding quashed 

from Moncks 

Bay to the 

Southshore 

Spit. 

This would 

stabilise the 

flow of tidal 

water in and 

out of the 

estuary and 

allow dredging of the estuary 

channels. 

It would stop tidal water 

flowing in if there had been 

high rainfall and the Avon and 

Heathcote Rivers were running 

high, thus stopping flooding of 

housing areas when there high 

tides and high river flows. The 

estimated cost was £700,000. 

In true Christchurch fashion, 

the proposal caused much debate. 

Committees were formed, 

reports commissioned. Other 

ideas popped up; a Commonwealth 

Games rowing venue, 

a Sumner-to-Spit bridge, an 

aquatic playground. 

In the end, science prevailed. 

Canterbury University produced 

a 358 report The Ecology of the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary in 1973. 

It concluded that a barrier and 

dredging would have detrimental 

effects on the biology of the 

estuary; in short, the estuary 

would be destroyed. 

But the idea did not die. Following 

the earthquakes of 10 

years ago, the city council and 

Canterbury Earthquake Recovery 

Authority staff were directed 

to reinvestigate the barrage 

concept for the same reason, to 

control flooding. 

They concluded the cost would 

be $310m or more, and that other 

options such as strengthening 

stop banks would be cheaper. 

Let’s hope the idea has been 

well and truly buried.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

Customers pleased with honest, 

reliable vehicle servicing 

Having your vehicle regularly serviced is 

key to getting the best out of it in terms of 

fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear 

on expensive parts. 

Kevin, who owns and operates Parker 

Automotive in Birmingham Drive, 

provides full vehicle servicing to keep your 

vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs, 

batteries and tyres. 

He also carries out all mechanical repairs, 

including cam belt replacement, suspension 

work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only 

repairing what’s necessary, and without 

charging the earth. 

He has owned the business since 2007, 

and over that time has established a loyal 

customer base – people that rely on him 

to give them sound advice and provide 

professional care and servicing for their 

vehicles. 

Customers come from across the city, 

Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell 

and Middleton areas, and the business has 

received many positive Google reviews 

from customers. Below are some examples: 

I have been going to Parker Automotive 

for the last eight years and I cannot fault the 

service. The mechanical work has been top 

notch! If you want top service and value for 

money I recommend Parker Automotive. –

coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very 

honest guy who gets the job done in a very 

timely manor and he has outstanding 

communication. The overall service I’ve 

received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole 

I know it’s not always about price but 

sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs, 

you just want a perceived good deal and work 

carried out by someone who seems to care. 

Kevin came recommended by a friend, and 

what a great recommendation. His work was 

clean, efficient, fast and came in under what 

I thought it was going to cost. So we took my 

partner’s car there two days later and that 

too was completed faster than we expected 

and at an almost unbelievable cost. 

Give Parker Automotive a shot next 

time you need something done. Kevin 

is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark 

Lewis 

Earlier this year, Parker Automotive 

moved from premises on the Lincoln
