BLACK BELT KEEPS<br />

KIDS OFF THE STREET<br />

• By Geoff Sloan<br />

AN 85-YEAR-OLD is offering<br />

karate lessons with a difference.<br />

For 35 years, Aranui<br />

grandmother Mary Patu has<br />

been helping youngsters build<br />

self confidence by teaching<br />

them self-defence.<br />

The Okinawa-Te Karate<br />

Aranui club has grown to<br />

around 80 students. Mary<br />

charges them just $2 a class,<br />

a fee that hasn’t changed<br />

since the sensei started<br />

teaching.<br />

She said there’s a more<br />

important reason behind her<br />

work than money.<br />

“The whole angle is to get the<br />

kids off the street and doing<br />

something.”<br />

The 7th dan black belt said<br />

all the money goes back into<br />

the community-based dojo,<br />

purpose-built by her husband<br />

and sons behind her house on<br />

Breezes Rd.<br />

“We’ve done everything in<br />

here, like mirrors, matting and<br />

that, we’ve (paid for) it with<br />

barbecues and different<br />

things.”<br />

Mary started taking part in<br />

Okinawa te Karate classes when<br />

she was 48, after getting bored<br />

just watching her sons at their<br />

weekly lessons.<br />

“I didn’t have any training<br />

whatsoever, and the first thing<br />

I ever did was do karate. That<br />

nearly killed me when I was<br />

first doing it.”<br />

COMPOSTING for a school<br />

garden in the red zone has<br />

stopped after residents<br />

complained about rodents and<br />

flies.<br />

The site is run by Ko Mahi<br />

Ko Ora, which works under<br />

the umbrella of Nōku Te Ao<br />

Charitable Trust, and Te Pā o<br />

Rākaihautū school on McLean St,<br />

Linwood.<br />

Composting at the site began<br />

three years ago, with the end goal<br />

a vegetable garden for students.<br />

The group is creating soil by<br />

composting above ground, to<br />

avoid breaching city council<br />

restrictions on digging into redzone<br />

land.<br />

Duncan and Paula Rogers have<br />

been living on McBratneys Rd,<br />

Dallington, for seven years.<br />

The compost site is about a<br />

block away from their home.<br />

Duncan said issues began in the<br />

area last summer.<br />

“We had the worst infestation of<br />

flies I’ve ever seen in my life. And<br />

now I’ve already rid our garage<br />

of a whole family of mice, which<br />

we’ve never had before.”<br />

Duncan also said he had seen<br />

rats on his property and around<br />

the area.<br />

He believes the problems link<br />

back to the compost site.<br />

Avon Park to battle it out with the best<br />

LINE UP: Stewart Reed, Dean Mooney (skip) and Mark<br />

Coughlan will represent Avon Park at the New Zealand<br />

Champion of Champions competition in Auckland. ​<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

AVON PARK will get a second<br />

chance of national honours when<br />

they contest the New Zealand<br />

Champion of Champions bowls<br />

competition in Auckland this<br />

weekend.<br />

Dean Mooney, Stewart Reed<br />

and Mark Coughlan won the<br />

Canterbury competition in April<br />

to qualify – only the second time<br />

Avon Park has had a team at a<br />

national competition.<br />

Mooney, who is also club<br />

president, competed alongside<br />

Reed in 2021 in the New Zealand<br />

men’s pairs in Dunedin.<br />

He said it was a big deal for<br />

Avon Park to make another<br />

champion of champions competition.<br />

“Canterbury is probably<br />

consistently one of the strongest<br />

regions in New Zealand, as far<br />

as the quality of players that we<br />

have here goes.<br />

“I guess the privilege we have<br />

is we are playing our interclub in<br />

competitions against some of the<br />

best players in the country.<br />

“It’s a big deal to us that we<br />

can still compete at that kind of<br />

level.”<br />

The Avon Park Bowling Club<br />

was formed after the earthquakes,<br />

when Burwood Park was<br />

forced to merge with Dallington<br />

due to their facilities being rendered<br />

unplayable.<br />

Mooney said the area had done<br />

it tough for quite a long time.<br />

“But we’re still trying to ply<br />

our trade, and run our little<br />

bowling club.”<br />

He hopes some success this<br />

weekend might raise the club’s<br />

profile and convince more<br />

people in the area to give bowls<br />

a go.<br />

“We’re hoping that results like<br />

these do gather a bit of exposure<br />

and, you know, we’re certainly<br />

going there with the intent to<br />

make it through as far as we<br />

can.”<br />

The tournament will be played<br />

indoors at the Royal Oak Bowls<br />

club in New Lynn, Auckland –<br />

and with no indoor venues in<br />

Christchurch, Mooney said it<br />

CALM HAND: Mark Coughlan during the Canterbury<br />

competition in April.<br />

would add an element of uncertainty<br />

for the team.<br />

“It was certainly a big learning<br />

experience for us three years<br />

ago when we played in Dunedin.<br />

For myself, that was the first<br />

time I’d ever played on carpet<br />

before.”<br />

Mooney said playing on carpet<br />

is completely different to playing<br />

on grass.<br />

“Generally the carpet is laid<br />

on a concrete pad, and the<br />

temperature of that concrete<br />

really determines the speed at<br />

which a green plays.<br />

“In Christchurch, our greens<br />

run traditionally, probably the<br />

quickest in the world, and the<br />

margins you’re playing with are<br />

very fine.<br />

“As the greens slow down,<br />

then the resistance to a bowl is<br />

increased and it means that you<br />

tend to traditionally get a lot<br />

less turn, so you’re adapting to<br />

effectively a very different type<br />

of surface and a different type of<br />

game.”<br />

Avon Park’s first match<br />

is against Te Karaka, near<br />

Gisborne, at 11am on Friday.<br />

NOT HAPPY: McBratneys Rd<br />

resident Duncan Rogers says<br />

he’s been dealing with fly<br />

and rodent problems due to<br />

the red zone compost site.<br />

CREATING COMMUNITY: Sensei Mary Patu says she will<br />

keep teaching for as long as she can.<br />

Best part of teaching<br />

seeing students grow<br />

• From page 1<br />

Mary excelled in the style so<br />

much she was later invited to<br />

attend a three-week training<br />

camp at the club’s United States<br />

headquarters.<br />

It was there Shihan, the club’s<br />

master instructor, encouraged<br />

her to start her own karate dojo<br />

at home.<br />

She said karate teaches self<br />

discipline.<br />

“It improves their schoolwork,<br />

it improves everything. It builds<br />

up that confidence. You see<br />

some kids come in here and<br />

they’re shy and don’t know what<br />

to do. And then after a while,<br />

you just see it slowly developing.<br />

And that’s the best part of being<br />

a teacher, is watching them<br />

grow.”<br />

Mary said the students are<br />

part of her family. It wasn’t<br />

uncommon for former students<br />

to return with their kids, eager<br />

to learn the martial art.<br />

And despite her age, she’s<br />

aiming to continue running the<br />

community karate classes for as<br />

long as she’s able or “until I kick<br />

the bucket”.<br />

Resolving compost<br />

problems a priority<br />

• From page 1<br />

Compost site worker Keith<br />

Murphy was shocked to hear<br />

about the issues two weeks ago.<br />

Murphy said composting at<br />

the site was immediately stopped<br />

and won’t continue until a<br />

community meeting has been<br />

held.<br />

“We’re going to try and make<br />

everyone as happy as possible.<br />

“We’re all volunteers there, and<br />

we’re trying to teach our kids<br />

about healthy living, growing<br />

healthy food.”<br />

Nokū Te Ao Charitable Trust<br />

chair Rangimarie Parata Takurua<br />

said the city council alerted them<br />

to concerns regarding the project<br />

on July 10, but they were resolved<br />

by July 17.<br />

“This was a positive learning<br />

experience for us. Like any<br />

committed organisation, we are<br />

always looking to refine and<br />

improve our work.”<br />

Since composting stopped,<br />

Duncan has not noticed any<br />

issues with infestations.<br />

Murphy wished he was aware<br />

of these issues sooner, as he<br />

would’ve done something to<br />

resolve them.<br />

“It doesn’t feel good at all. We’ll<br />

just have to work past it.”<br />

He is hopeful a positive result<br />

will come out of discussing and<br />

resolving the issues with the<br />

community.<br />

Artists gear up for annual showcase<br />

THE SUMNER ART Society<br />

will hold its annual exhibition at<br />

the weekend.<br />

Previously held at the Redcliffs<br />

Bowling Club, the exhibition is<br />

being held at the Mt Pleasant<br />

Yacht Club this year.<br />

It overlooks the Estuary and is<br />

where many art society members<br />

meet each Wednesday morning<br />

to work on their art, enjoy the<br />

company of fellow artists and<br />

share creative ideas.<br />

Established in 1959, the Sumner<br />

Art Society has about 60<br />

members. Several have been busy<br />

preparing for the exhibition.<br />

Among them is Sharon<br />

Soderberg-White, who uses<br />

acrylic fluid pouring to produce<br />

hand-embellished works, and<br />

has donated one of her paintings<br />

as a raffle prize.<br />

Exhibition organiser Kilmeny<br />

Keyse’s landscapes and figurative<br />

works also feature.<br />

Other exhibitors include Maxine<br />

Burney, who has a studio<br />

at the Arts Centre, and awardwinning<br />

artist Geri Parawa, who<br />

works in ink.<br />

Suzanne Roberts’ quirky figurative<br />

works will be on display,<br />

as will Barry Mattingley’s semiimpressionist<br />

acrylic paintings.<br />

Pastels are the favoured medium<br />

of portraitist Rose Croft, while<br />

Robyn Cassidy draws animals in<br />

coloured pencils. Rae Manson<br />

prefers acrylics and her subjects<br />

often have a coastal theme.<br />

FLAIR: Artists exhibiting at the Sumner Art Show include Daphne Rolston (top left) and Kilmeny Keyse.<br />

Exhibitors also include watercolourist<br />

Sandra Palmer, pet<br />

portrait artist Chris Threadwell<br />

and miniaturist Deanna Smith.<br />

Potter Lisbeth Hansen will<br />

also be there.<br />

The exhibition opens on Friday,<br />

5.30-7.30pm, and continues<br />

Saturday and Sunday, 10am-<br />

5pm. Entry is free.<br />

Artworks can be purchased<br />

and taken home on the day.<br />

Anyone interested in joining<br />

the art society is invited to speak<br />

to the artists.<br />

The exhibition is sponsored<br />

by Ray White Prier Manson Real<br />

Estate Ferrymead.<br />

Also on display are works by Elaine McDonald (left), Rae Manson and Sandra Palmer.<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has<br />

23 beds for tamariki to stay during<br />

times of whānau stress or crisis. On<br />

average just 17 of these beds are filled<br />

due to resourcing constraints.<br />

Every empty bed is a missed<br />

tamariki a safe place to sleep.<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides<br />

short term emergency or planned respite care<br />

for tamariki when they need extra support due<br />

to complications at home.<br />

Cholmondeley is an independent charity<br />

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to<br />

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government<br />

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from<br />

the generous support of the Canterbury<br />

IT'S YOUR<br />

LITTLE LOCAL<br />

IN THE HEART OF<br />

LINWOOD VILLAGE<br />

Whether you're meeting mates<br />

for a catch up over drinks or<br />

after somewhere to take the<br />

family for a delicious meal,<br />

Bridie's Bar and Bistro on<br />

Stanmore Road is the perfect<br />

spot.<br />

The Irish themed pub has been<br />

a mainstay in the local<br />

community for over ten years<br />

Friendly staff and regular<br />

entertainment coupled with<br />

amazing family friendly food<br />

and great drinks specials has<br />

made Bridie's a popular<br />

destination with patrons across<br />

the city.<br />

MEET THE CHEF...<br />

Recently appointed, Germanborn<br />

Chef Christoph (Chris)<br />

Locker took over Bridie's Bistro<br />

at the end of April.<br />

"We have a great team at<br />

Bridie's. It's good to be here,"<br />

said Chris.<br />

Before joining Bridie's, Chris<br />

was based in Central Otago<br />

chefng at a popular gastropub.<br />

Prior to this he was living in<br />

Korea where he was<br />

restauranteur of The Peppercorn<br />

Bistro in Seoul.<br />

"At The Peppercorn we offered<br />

European home cooking fused<br />

with Korean," said Chris.<br />

Currently working on a new<br />

season menu, Chris says he<br />

intends to retain some of the<br />

traditional favourites and<br />

introduce some of his signature<br />

German/European and Asian<br />

dishes.<br />

Chris stresses that fresh<br />

produce and quality ingredients<br />

are essential to great food.<br />

"Bridie's is associated with<br />

some of the best local suppliers."<br />

Grass fed Canterbury meat.<br />

Beckenham Butchery<br />

Cumberland Sausages & Deli<br />

goods. Fresh sour dough breads<br />

by the Hand to Hearth Artisan<br />

Bread Company. Vivace beans<br />

for their expertly extracted<br />

barista crafted coffees.<br />

Despite only taking over the<br />

kitchen a couple of months ago,<br />

Chris has already released a new<br />

breakfast menu and updated the<br />

lunch/dinner menu with some<br />

tantilising new dishes as well as<br />

adding a fresh spin on some of<br />

Bridie's tried and true<br />

favourites.<br />

The breafast menu is available<br />

daily until 1pm, however the<br />

mains menu is available all day,<br />

everyday from opening.<br />

Let's not forget the kids.<br />

Bridie's offers family-friendly<br />

dining and the kid's menu has<br />

many choices with something to<br />

satisfy the fussiest eater.<br />

Anniversaries, Birthdays,<br />

Family gatherings, Work Do's.<br />

Bridie's can cater to any event<br />

or function at any budget. They<br />

can provide set menus, platters,<br />

and group catering. Enquire<br />
