Residential project earns<br />
major landscaping award<br />
A RESIDENTIAL project on<br />
Rugby St has achieved great<br />
success in the <strong>2022</strong> Landscapes<br />
of Distinction Awards over the<br />
weekend.<br />
Nationally, 132 projects were<br />
entered into the awards held by<br />
Registered Master Landscapes.<br />
The awards were a celebration<br />
of the quality trade, craftsmanship<br />
and expertise of the best<br />
landscapers in New Zealand.<br />
Winning projects represent<br />
the top echelon of landscaping<br />
design and construction in the<br />
country.<br />
Behind the Rugby St design<br />
was landscaping business Onlandscapes.<br />
Their work won the <strong>2022</strong> people’s<br />
choice award.<br />
More than 5000 people voted<br />
for the award, which was open to<br />
the public for voting.<br />
The Rugby St project was<br />
designed for empty nesters and<br />
created with order, privacy and<br />
serenity at the top of the wish<br />
list.<br />
“They wanted a full makeover,<br />
leaving only the existing Maple<br />
tree and perimeter hedging,”<br />
Ollie Newman, of Onlandscapes,<br />
said.<br />
“It was their preference for it to<br />
be simply and structured so they<br />
could enjoy the outlook both<br />
during the day and night. It was<br />
a privilege to construct this project,<br />
and an honour to work with<br />
such outstanding clients.”<br />
Chief executive of Registered<br />
OUTSTANDING: Onlandscapes work on this residential property on Rugby St won the people’s choice award at the <strong>2022</strong><br />
Landscapes of Distinction Awards over the weekend. <br />
Master Landscapes, Janine Scott,<br />
congratulated all the award winners<br />
from across New Zealand<br />
and acknowledged the 50 per<br />
cent increase in the number of<br />
entrants this year.<br />
“This represents a major step<br />
forward,” she said.<br />
“The landscape industry<br />
is going from strength to<br />
strength, with so much young<br />
talent entering the industry and<br />
some extraordinary projects<br />
being undertaken by<br />
businesses throughout New<br />
Zealand.”<br />

Teen boxer earns accolades after win<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
PROMISING teenage boxer<br />
Bobby Brown outfought a<br />
two-time national champion<br />
to claim his weight division at<br />
the Australian Golden Gloves<br />
in Brisbane and be crowned<br />
the best male fighter in his age<br />
group.<br />
The 14-year-old Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School student<br />
returned home last week with<br />
the boys cadet under 57kg open<br />
grade gold medal after ending<br />
Queenslander Chaise Courtney’s<br />
15-bout unbeaten run via split<br />
decision.<br />
“He had two really, really<br />
close rounds (in the Brisbane<br />
final) and then he pulled it<br />
together and he took the last<br />
round clean,” said coach Holly<br />
Sullivan.<br />
Brown, who is targeting the<br />
2026 Summer Youth Olympics<br />
in Dakar, Senegal, swayed the<br />
judges with his superior speed,<br />
fitness and technique.<br />
Sullivan was also impressed<br />
as a member of the Woolston<br />
Boxing Club’s original youth<br />
intake in 2<strong>01</strong>6 continues to<br />
develop.<br />
“He started fighting at 32kg<br />
or something silly,” she said,<br />
expanding on the long-term<br />
goal.<br />
“The Youth Olympics is the<br />
pathway and the goal we’re<br />
trying to put him towards. We<br />
want to keep pushing at New<br />
Zealand Boxing saying: ‘This kid<br />
is keen’.”<br />
Brown has a 13-win 7-loss<br />
record and graduates from cadet<br />
to junior class next year.<br />
He then spends two years as a<br />
junior before fighting as a youth.<br />
“His losses have all been<br />
against juniors or heavier<br />
opponents generally, he’s been<br />
stepping up a lot,” Sullivan said.<br />
Brown is now preparing to<br />

Young people awarded for commitment<br />
A GROUP OF young people<br />
have received awards for their<br />
contributions to the community.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel presented<br />
The Duke of Edinburgh’s<br />
Hillary bronze, silver and gold<br />
awards to 70 young people.<br />
Some of the rangatahi will receive<br />
their gold award from the<br />
governor general in Wellington<br />
later this year.<br />
The Duke of Edinburgh’s<br />
Hillary Award is a voluntary<br />
programme of personal, adventurous<br />
and cultural activities<br />
with bronze, silver and gold<br />
categories.<br />
Participants have to complete<br />
four sections – voluntary service,<br />
physical recreation, skills, adventurous<br />
journey – in each level.<br />
At the gold level, participants are<br />
required to complete a residential<br />
project.<br />
The programme was designed<br />
to challenge young people to<br />
leave their comfort zones and<br />
push their personal development.<br />
On top of volunteering work<br />
with the Salvation Army, Local<br />
Hospice and St Vincent De-Paul<br />
centres, these young people<br />
supported refugees and migrant<br />
children.<br />
Mentor and award leader<br />
Chris Allan, who delivered the<br />
programme through his Joshua<br />
Foundation organisation, said<br />
the students were also involved<br />
with sport teams and individual<br />
sports.<br />
“Some of these young people<br />
have achieved regional and<br />
national honours in their chosen<br />
physical recreation,” he said.<br />
“They have engaged in an<br />
arduous 30km tramp in the<br />
Oxford area at a bronze level,<br />
a 50km tramp at a silver level<br />
around the Porters Pass and<br />
Lake Lyndon area, and a fourday<br />
tramp in Arthur’s Pass<br />
national park.”<br />
Established in 2004, the<br />
Joshua Foundation provides<br />
programmes to empower young<br />
people within the community.<br />

Water and environment key<br />
issues for new candidate<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
Avonhead resident Dr Laly Samuel will be<br />
standing as an independent in the upcoming<br />
local body elections, vying for a seat on the<br />
Christchurch City Council for the Waimairi ward<br />
and one of two seats on the Community Board for<br />
the Waimairi/Fendalton/Harewood Ward .<br />
An academic and scientist, Dr Samuel has<br />
gained extensive international experience and<br />
recognition, with awards including the Garshom<br />
International Award she received in Norway in<br />
2<strong>01</strong>9. She was also named as one of the finalists<br />
in the Women of Influence Award – International<br />
category New Zealand in 2<strong>01</strong>5.<br />
Originally from India, Dr Samuel moved to<br />
New Zealand with her husband and two children<br />
in 2002. Prior to that they lived in Japan for 11<br />
years, where Dr Samuel worked as a scientist and<br />
undertook post-doctoral study.<br />
After three years in Wellington, during which<br />
Dr Samuel was a team leader at the Measurements<br />
Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSL)<br />
under the Crown Research Institute, Industrial<br />
Research Ltd , she moved to Christchurch where<br />
she continued her job with MSL under Callaghan<br />
Innovation, a role she held until 2<strong>01</strong>6, before<br />
deciding to take a break from her professional life.<br />
Always part of her busy schedule, community<br />
work now has an even stronger focus for Dr<br />
Samuel. This involves assisting Indian immigrants<br />
to settle into New Zealand life. She is active in her<br />
local church, St Christopher’s, and along with her<br />
husband helps the Kerala community group with<br />
personal and cultural matters.<br />
She is also a member of the Christchurch<br />
Multicultural Council and the Christchurch<br />
International Group.<br />
With her scientific and management<br />
background, her experience with ethnic<br />
communities, as well as her commitment to<br />
helping the community, Dr Samuel believes that<br />
she will be a competent candidate.<br />
If successful, her main focus will be on<br />
removing chlorination from the city’s water,<br />
with reducing the city’s carbon footprint also an<br />
important issue for her. She supports the new<br />
stadium but was disappointed that solar panels<br />
were not included in the design.<br />
“I am also against the 1.4 per cent annual rate<br />
increase that Christchurch people will have to pay<br />
to fund the stadium’s construction. I believe the<br />
government should contribute more.”<br />
The situation Bromley residents are dealing<br />
with also concerns Dr Samuel.<br />
“The odour and pollution being created is<br />
affecting not just Bromley, but many parts of the<br />
city, and the toxic particles can cause health issues.<br />
“With my international scientific and<br />
management experience, I believe I could<br />
contribute a lot to council committees dealing<br />
with issues like these, and many others.”<br />
Her campaign strategy will include meeting<br />
with people as she believes it is important to<br />
interact with people and discuss their issues.<br />
“I already know a significant number of people<br />
in the Waimairi Ward, and I look forward to<br />
meeting many more, and going on to represent<br />
them after the election.”

Basketball side makes it three in a row<br />
CHRIST’S College’s top<br />
basketball team has won the<br />
Thomson Trophy for the third<br />
year in a row.<br />
Under the guidance of <strong>2022</strong><br />
New Zealand Coach of the Year<br />
Ben Sheat, they are the first side<br />
to achieve the three-win streak<br />
since 2006.<br />
“It has been our toughest title,<br />
battling through the challenges<br />
of sickness and injuries throughout<br />
the season,” Sheat said.<br />
“But the boys rose to the occasion<br />
in the final, winning 99–81<br />
against St Thomas of Canterbury<br />
College.<br />
“It was an awesome atmosphere<br />
for the game, with a crowd<br />
of about 1500 at Cowles Stadium.<br />
The support was outstanding,<br />
and the boys delivered a true<br />
team effort, with everyone making<br />
a major contribution.<br />
“For our Year 13 players, it<br />
was a great way to end a massive<br />
season.”<br />
Sheat, who has steered the side<br />
for five years, also lauded the<br />
commitment and achievements<br />
of the whole squad.<br />
“Throughout the season, all the<br />
boys have shown great resilience,<br />
powering up for each game and<br />
never backing away from the<br />
challenge.”<br />
Standout guard Tom Harrison<br />
– scoring 36 points – was<br />
named most valuable player in<br />
the final, while Hunter Adam<br />
was in equally fine form, adding<br />
a further 27 points.<br />

New spot for one-stop<br />
equipment shop<br />
Local trade store and hire depot, Totalsite Supplies,<br />
is now in a new location at 40 Hammersmith Drive,<br />
Wigram. Servicing both tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts,<br />
Totalsite is a one-stop-shop for construction<br />
and height safety equipment, tools, temporary<br />
fencing and much more.<br />
The Concrete Division specialises in tools and<br />
equipment for the construction, concrete precast<br />
and placing, bricklaying, civil and roading, concrete<br />
cutting and grinding as well as plumbing and drainage<br />
industries.<br />
Totalsite are known as the ‘propping specialists’.<br />
Over time, the propping team of Dean Frizzell, Ray<br />
Blome and Denzil Smith have seen architects and<br />
builders push the frontiers in tilt slab construction.<br />
“Along the way,” Dean says, “we’ve continued<br />
with further innovation to meet the demand. Our<br />
certified square panel props have improved prop<br />
designs, we’ve expanded the range, and adapted our<br />
approach to meet every challenge faced.”<br />
The certified telescopic props range in size from<br />
1.0m to 14m.<br />
Ray adds: “We can supply the entire package with<br />
our large range of parts and accessories from shims,<br />
panel sealants, burke bars, anchors, to brackets and<br />
backing rods. Our service will include propping<br />
plans for your next project, along with delivery of<br />
the props to your site with all consumables required.”<br />
Totalsite can also organise a crane if required.<br />
For concrete boxing projects, Totalsite Supplies<br />
provide MSB Form, which is specially designed<br />
to withstand the difficult conditions of the construction<br />
industry. With its rigid applications and<br />
lightweight characteristics, this adjustable formwork<br />
solution is proving a winner in Australia.<br />
As Totalsite Supplies consultant Clay Davies notes,<br />
“It’s the perfect alternative to timber pegs, lumber<br />
kickers, walers and nails – and we have already seen<br />
huge interest in the construction industry here in<br />
New Zealand.”<br />
The Access Division specialises in ladders, mobile<br />
scaffold, and height safety equipment. Their ladder<br />
range includes platform, extension, dual-purpose,<br />
telescopic and roof ladders from leading brands like<br />
Bailey, Branach, Ox and Warthog, with aluminium<br />
and fibreglass options for the electrical trades.<br />
For jobs a ladder is unable to reach, Totasite Supplies<br />
stock mobile scaffold systems with platforms<br />
ranging in height from 1/2m to 4m.<br />
For work on roofs or other places where safety is<br />
compromised, Totalsite Supplies provide height<br />
safety equipment including harnesses, lanyards,<br />
helmets, anchors, and ropes. They also offer height<br />
safety equipment checks ensuring your equipment<br />
is fit for use.<br />
Consultant at Totalsite Supplies, Rupert Bryant,<br />
says: “Too often, companies purchase or hire access<br />
and height safety equipment that is incorrect for the<br />
job at hand. The root cause of the issue is that the<br />
tradesman is a professional at his particular trade<br />
– not necessarily a professional in regard to safely<br />
gaining height. So that’s where we fit in. We talk to<br />
customers about their specific project, discuss the<br />
range of options available, and only then recommend<br />
the best option to the client.”<br />
Tradies and DIYers are invited to visit the new Totalsite<br />
Supplies premises at 40 Hammersmith Drive,<br />
call 0508 447 348 or check out their website www.<br />

Who can you trust with your hearing?<br />
It seems that these days, you can buy<br />
hearing aids in lots of places: before long<br />
they will be sitting on the shelves in<br />
supermarkets! There is also lots of hype<br />
about buying top-of-the-range hearing aid<br />
technology at bargain prices. However,<br />
most people will agree that in this life, you<br />
get what you pay for; and hearing<br />
healthcare very much follows this mantra.<br />
The one factor that does massively<br />
determine the improvement in your quality<br />
of life through hearing aids is the person<br />
who provides your hearing healthcare.<br />
Patiently assessing your hearing wants and<br />
needs, taking the time to get to know you<br />
and giving you the space to ensure the<br />
hearing solution is the best long term<br />
solution for you is absolutely key.<br />
If you have had a quote for hearing aids, be<br />
this large, or small, we will be happy to give<br />
you a free impartial second opinion and<br />
check if there are any better solutions<br />
available for you. We take the time to<br />
listen and do everything at your pace:<br />
overcoming hearing loss is not a sprint; it is<br />
a long, steady journey! There is a reason<br />
we have so many 5 star Google reviews.<br />
Overcoming a hearing loss is not simply a<br />
matter of buying some hearing aids. The<br />
very best hearing aids available can give a<br />
terrible result if they are not set up correctly<br />
for you or are unsuitable for your needs.<br />
These days, for most people, you do not<br />
necessarily need to buy top of the range<br />
technology hearing aids to get a great<br />
improvement in your hearing.<br />
Hear Again have extensive experience of<br />
helping people overcome their hearing<br />
difficulties. From a simple check to see if<br />
your ears are blocked with wax, to the<br />
provision and fine tuning of the very latest<br />
hearing devices from the worlds leading<br />

Conversely, buying lower cost hearing<br />
devices does not mean they will be poor<br />
quality. In most cases, lower cost hearing<br />
aids are made by the same manufacturers<br />
as the most advanced ones, so there is no<br />
difference in overall quality. These aids can<br />
be life changing if they are suited to your<br />
hearing loss and set up optimally.<br />
We believe in giving you options. As we<br />
are 100% fully independent, we have<br />
access to many different hearing aid<br />
brands and can give you honest, impartial<br />
advice. The solutions we provide you with<br />
are not locked or exclusive to us, so you<br />
are able to have them serviced anywhere<br />
in the world, should this be needed.<br />
