EAT UP: Northwood sisters Emily, 9, and Georgia Grins, 11, taste test the popcorn with Dr Bugs popcorn manager Monique 

Posthuma during a school holiday tour of the factory. 

Popcorn-makers share kernels of wisdom 

THE INSIDE scoop on how 

popcorn is made is being dished 

up to children at the Dr Bugs 

popcorn factory in Casebrook. 

A 45min factory tour was 

being offered as a school holiday 

programme at the family-owned 

Christchurch company. 

OPTION ONE 

The children can watch 

popcorn being made, taste it hot 

off the production line, learn 

what makes it ‘pop’ and make 

and flavour their own popcorn. 

The flavours include chilli, 

chocolate, salsa, cinnamon, 

cheddar and salt. 

Sales and marketing manager 

Reuben Posthuma said the 

company loves the chance to 

show people how popcorn is 

made. 

“Seeing how excited the kids 

get makes the job ever better 

. . . they seem to love watching 

popcorn getting packed the 

most,” he said. 

“It’s a mesmerising machine 

and kids just stand there 

gobsmacked. I think the chance 

to taste the popcorn straight off 

the production line is a favourite 

too.”

PEOPLE WITH concerns about 

the downstream effects of the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

will have the chance to express 

their views in a public meeting 

next month. 

Those who submitted through 

the consultation process have 

been invited to speak at the meeting 

on August 6, in front of the 

Papanui-Innes Community Board 

and a traffic expert at the city 

council chambers. 

A report will also be presented 

at the meeting, summarising the 

feedback received from the consultation 

process, which ran from 

April 26 to June 4. 

From there, an independent 

traffic expert will make recommendations 

in a draft Downstream 

Effects Traffic Mitigation 

Plan, which will outline any 

remedial steps required to avoid 

and mitigate adverse traffic effects 

on nearby communities, once the 

CNC opens. 

The report will then go back to 

the community board and will be 

consulted on.

THERE WAS nothing lucky about 

Cooper Moore’s world stars of junior golf 

championship win in Las Vegas (see page 

14). 

The 10-year-old is one of Canterbury’s 

most promising young golfers. 

The Las Vegas event was played over three nine hole rounds 

on a shortened course. 

Cooper tied with a United States player after the three rounds 

and a par got him home on the first play-off hole. 

His father gave him good advice before the tournament: “Dad 

just told me to hit it straight off the tee and give myself the best 

chance to get on the green and that’s how it played out.” 

Cooper would like to be like Jordan Spieth one day. That’s a 

great goal to aim for.

Boards to meet over school zones 

• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

THE Coastal-Burwood and 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Boards will meet with Ministry 

of Education representatives 

to discuss concerns it has with 

the proposed zone changes for 

Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ 

High Schools. 

The meeting has been confirmed 

for the middle of next 

month. 

MoE Canterbury 

education 

director Coralanne 

Child 

and principal 

adviser Simon 

Blatchford will 

Kim Money be present at the 

meeting. 

It comes after the two schools, 

which will relocate to a shared 

campus at QE II Park next year, 

are required to create a new 

enrolment zone. 

Students living in Shirley, Richmond, 

Avonside, Edgeware and 

parts of Linwood will still be able 

to attend the schools, but only on 

a ‘transitional arrangement’. 

The addresses will only be 

deemed ‘in zone’ for as long as 

they contain the children currently 

at the address and does 

not include people who move in 

to the area. 

Prestons subdivision was not 

included in the zone at all. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim Money 

said from her board’s point of 

view, the main concern is the 

Prestons subdivision, which has 

been left out. 

She said it is a huge thing shifting 

two high schools and while 

it will be a loss for the Shirley- 

Papanui area, it will be a gain for 

the Coastal-Burwood area. 

Ms Money said the board has a 

good relationship with the MoE 

and the point is to have a discussion 

about the changes 

in the area. 

She said it is the board’s goal 

to have Prestons included in the 

zoning. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said the board doesn’t have a 

definite idea of what it would like 

to discuss yet. 

“One of the issues that the 

board members raised was 

the time frame that the MoE 

is putting on the temporary 

extension of the boundaries, 

so that is something we will be 

raising with them. Other things 

will probably come out of the

discussion,” she said. 

A site meeting is also planned 

at QE II next month with the 

MoE, Shirley and Avonside 

schools, the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board and city 

council is planned for next 

month. 

It is to discuss installing a 

signalised crossing on Travis Rd 

to ensure the safety of students at 

the new school.

WORK RESCHEDULED 

The traffic management layout 

at the Cranford St and Innes Rd 

intersection did not change last 

week, as earlier advised by the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

alliance team. The power cable 

installation at the intersection 

had to be rescheduled again. 

Excavation work will continue 

on Cranford St between Weston 

Rd and McFaddens Rd, to install 

street light cables. The power 

cables should be installed by mid- 

August. 

RESERVE CONCERNS 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board is investigating the 

possibility of making the Rutland 

Reserve a board project. It wishes 

to retain the perimeter walkway 

and asked that city council staff 

advise and provide a briefing on 

options. It comes after a Rutland 

St resident raised concerns about 

flooding in the park, saying it 

has become a swamp and in 

some parts it is deep enough for 

someone to drown.

Update debate continues 


Mike 

Davidson 

COMMUNITY board member 

Mike Davidson is still at 

loggerheads with the city council 

and New Zealand Transport 

Agency over the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor extension. 

City council and NZTA said it 

provided regular project updates 

to residents and the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board. 

Cr Davidson slammed the city 

council and New 

Zealand Transport 

Agency’s consultation 

process for 

the Northern 

Arterial extension 

and Cranford St 

upgrade at a council 

meeting on July 

12, saying it was 

“unbelievable and 

unacceptable.” 

The project will see Cranford St, 

north of McFaddens Rd, upgraded 

to four lanes and an upgrade to the 

Cranford St, Innes Rd intersection. 

Cr Davidson said he was 

disappointed that for one of the 

consultations in May, the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board was only 

informed about it one day before it 

closed. 

However, a NZTA spokeswoman 

said last week that the CNC team 

“provides regular project updates

process, saying residents and the community board were informed 

with regular updates about the CNC extension, but community 

board member Mike Davidson still believes “the ball was dropped.” 

to affected residents along Cranford 

St and also provides quarterly 

briefings to the community board.” 

City council manager planning 

and delivery Lynette Ellis, said key 

stakeholders, including the community 

board were informed about 

consultation. 

But Cr Davidson says he doesn’t 

believe that is correct. 

“At no time was I, or other 

members of the community board, 

aware that was being consulted on 

. . . I think we may have had a briefing 

from staff earlier in the year 

about some of the things that were 

happening, which is totally different 

to being informed that there was a 

consultation under way.” 

Cr Davidson said by not advertising 

the consultation more 

externally, like putting it on their 

website, it limited people’s ability 

to have a say, which is “not acceptable.” 

“Majority of time the CNC 

team have kept residents and the 

community board up-to-date 

with progress . . . but the ball was 

dropped with this consultation,” 

he said. 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you 

think the consultation process 

was acceptable for the 

Northern Arterial extension 

and Cranford St upgrade? 

Email sophie.cornish@ 


•From page 1 

Any potentially affected 

owners and occupiers of streets 

identified in the report will 

have the opportunity to engage 

with council. 

The recommendations 

set out in the final plan will 

then be reported through the 

community board to council, 

which will then develop a programme 

to deliver individual 

traffic projects. 

Plans suggested by city 

council to improve adverse 

traffic effects include, a clearway 

on Cranford St between 

Innes Rd and Berwick St and 

an intersection upgrade at 

Forfar and Warrington Sts and 

Barbadoes and Warrington 

Sts. 

Three-laning on Madras 

and Forfar St and Barbadoes 

St between Warrington St and 

Bealey Ave was also proposed 

and upgrades of the intersections 

at Madras St and Edgeware 

Rd and Barbadoes St and 

Edgeware Rd.

Meeting to discuss 

northern corridor 

traffic concerns 

A short feedback summary 

of the 408 submissions 

received was posted online last 

week which revealed several 

common themes from concerned 

residents. 

These include safety of 

pedestrians, impact on businesses, 

loss of parking and 

environmental impacts, 

including air pollution, noise 

and vibration levels. 

Overall, submitters 

expressed concern about a general 

sense of loss of community

changes may bring. 

Papanui Ward councillor 

Mike Davidson said the board 

has “a lot of concerns.” 

“It’s the biggest project

Bid to stop rats preying on butterflies 


SEVERAL ACTIONS are 

being taken to stop rats eating 

butterflies in Abberley Park, but 

a butterfly enthusiast said the 

problem is more widespread. 

Vicky Steele has been studying 

butterflies for more than 20 

years and said there is evidence 

of butterfly predation at Burnside 

Park and Ernle Clark Reserve in 

Somerfield also, but can’t 100 per 

cent confirm it is rats. 

“There are numbers missing 

everywhere but it is hard to find 

proof that it is rats, sometimes 

weather or lack of food can contribute 

but when wings are found 

it is a clear indication they have 

been eaten.” 

“The evidence isn’t 100 per cent 

conclusive but it’s really damning 

. . . if its not rats, then I don’t 

know what it is.” 

No traps have been set in Burnside 

Park. Some have been set in 

Ernle Clark Reserve. 

Ms Steele has found and collected 

more than 1000 sets of 

wings at the parks. 

Wind grasses, where rats 

usually live, have been removed 

from Abberley Park and ‘tree 

bands’ have been wrapped 

around trees to avoid rats 

climbing them. 

New plantings will also be 

introduced, which will provide

an additional food source for butterflies 

and bees. 

However, city council manager 

community parks Al Hardy said 

there is no evidence to support 

that there is a rat problem at Abberley 

Park, in spite of several actions 

being taken by city council 

and Tree Tech staff to reduce the 

problem. 

Rat traps have been used, 

however, none contain poison 

due to health and safety concerns 

involving other animals and 

children in the park. 

Ms Steele said the bands appear 

to be working in Abberley Park. 

“Nothing has died since . . . it’s 

the first time since May that has 

happened,” she said.

Parking 

changes 

approved 

A NUMBER of parking 

changes have been approved by 

community boards. 

No-stopping restrictions will 

be installed on Helmores Lane to 

prohibit the stopping or parking of 

any vehicles at the north approach 

to the Helmores Lane Bridge. 

This is in order to stop issues with 

vehicles having to manoeuvre 180 

deg to exit the street. Some motorists 

often believe vehicles can still 

access the bridge and find trouble 

turning around when they realise 

they can’t. 

Three-minute parking restrictions 

will be installed on the 

north-east side of Langdons 

Rd north of Sisson Drive. This 

restriction will apply between 

the hours of 8 to 9am and 2.15 to 

3.15pm on school days only. This 

is in order to reduce congestion issues 

during Papanui High School 

drop-off times. 

Sixty-minute parking restrictions 

will be installed outside 

businesses on the north-east side 

of Cranford St at its intersection 

with Westminister St. This is to 

reduce issues with unrestricted 

parking spaces which limits 

parking opportunities for people 

wanting to visit the businesses.

Architectural award for Bishopdale Library 

THE BISHOPDALE Library 

has been recognised in an 

architectural design awards, 

where Canterbury was named 

the most awarded region in New 

Zealand. 

On Friday, the Canterbury/ 

Westland ADNZ Resene 

Architectural Design Awards 

recognised residential, commercial, 

alterations, interiors 

and multi-use projects designed 

by Architectural Designers New 

Zealand members. 

ADNZ chief executive Astrid 

Andersen said that Canterbury 

was the most awarded region in 

the country, for a reason. 

“We have a significant number 

of entries across the country every 

year, but it does seem that Canterbury 

designers have an edge. 

The opportunities many designers 

were given after the earthquakes 

was massive – it enabled them to 

be part of a city rebuild and not 

many designers can claim that,” 

said Ms Andersen. 

Bishopdale Library was awarded 

the commercial-industrial architectural 

design award, shared with 

the Redcliffs Village Library. 

Designed by Marcus Stufkens 

of SC Architects Ltd, judges said 

both libraries are “linchpins” of the 

communities they reside and demonstrate 

the possibilities for design 

of shared community spaces. 

The Bishopdale Library is a 

node of activity in a community 

rebuilding after the Christchurch 

earthquakes. The stepping volume 

of the building negotiates a relationship 

between the street and 

the park beyond. 

Cymon Allfrey of Cymon Allfrey 

Architects was a major winner 

on the night, winning four regional 

awards and one commended. 

Mr Allfrey’s work on a home in 

Glandovey Rd received praise. 

The design features a pitched 

roof plane that rests on a rectangular 

pavilion spanning the 

length of the house. 

Judges said that the simple 

forms come together in a considered 

way, so the pitched roof feels 

as though it is lightly floating on 

the darker box of the building. 

The Glandovey Rd home was a 

joint winner of the residential new 

home over 300m 2 architectural 

design award along with a house 

on Girvan St, designed by Nicholas 

Mann of AO Architecture. 

Papanui Townhouses designed 

by Ben Brady of Linetype Architectural 

received commendation 

in the residential multi-unit 

dwelling architectural design 

award. 

Mr Allfrey’s Glandovey home 

also received commendation in 

the residential interiors architectural 

design award. 

AWARD WINNERS: The Bishopdale Library and Papanui Townhouses received recognition in 

the Canterbury/Westland ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Award ceremony. 

DESIGN: A Glandovey Rd home and a Girvan St home were also acknowledged.



Brownlee joins intersection battle 


ILAM MP Gerry Brownlee has 

joined the battle to upgrade the 

contentious Breens, Harewood 

and Gardiners Rds intersection 

and wants to see if the New 

Zealand Transport Agency could 

help fund it. 

Mr Brownlee said upgrading 

the intersection, which sees 10 

lanes converging, to lights is 

“pretty essential”. He is going to 

contact NZTA to ask “what their 

position is.” 

“Putting in lights is pretty 

essential, particularly when 

you’ve got Breens Intermediate 

so very close,” he said. 

The former deputy leader of 

the National Party met with city 

councillor Aaron Keown last 

week to discuss the matter. 

Cr Keown has fought for an 

upgrade to the intersection 

for more than two years and 

previously offered $100 to 

anyone who could name another 

intersection in the city without 

lights that has more lanes 

converging. 

A video posted on Mr 

Brownlee’s Facebook page last 

week showed the pair standing at 

the intersection. 

Cr Keown said there was “a 

bit too much push back from

council staff, giving us every 

reason why we shouldn’t have 

traffic lights.” 

During Long Term Plan 

submissions earlier this year, 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel suggested 

lights might not be the best 

option for the upgrade and that, 

in some cases, installing lights 

can often make an intersection 

busier and, as a result, more 

unsafe. 

Mr Brownlee said within 

minutes of standing at the 

intersection, he witnessed “a 

couple of near misses.” 

He said there is a funding 

formula for these types of 

upgrades. 

“Clearly the council have 

decided that it’s not something 

they want to recommend to 

councillors, 

which I think is 

disappointing 

and frankly 

kind of misses 

the point about 

making the 

intersection 

more userfriendly 

and 

safer,” said Mr 

Brownlee.

“There is a formula that sees 

some NZTA money available for 

these sorts of things but I’m just 

going to find out exactly what the 

situation is by contacting them,” 

he said. 

A report with recommended 

options for the upgrade will 

go to the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board in 

September.

open on Shirley 

bus changes 

CONSULTATION IS now open 

on proposed changes to the 44 

Shirley bus route extension. 

As a result of the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor project, 

the Orbiter bus will no longer 

be able to turn in and out of 

Philpotts Rd in Mairehau. It will 

be re-routed via Cranford St and 

Innes Rd later this year. 

These changes will affect some 

residents living adjacent to Philpotts 

Rd, such as residents and 

staff of the Diana Issac Retirement 

Village. 

About 80 residents from the 

retirement village presented a 

500-signature petition to Environment 

Canterbury, pleading 

it to reconsider changing the 

Orbiter route, which would see 

their closest bus stop moved to 

1km away. 

The consultation involves 

changes to the 44 Shirley route, 

including travelling to and from 

Innes Rd via Philpotts Rd, Glenfield 

Cres, Roslyn Ave, Croziers 

Rd, Ranger St and Nancy Ave. 

This will provide access to The 

Palms and central city for those 

residents. The extension would 

take slightly longer. 

Submissions can be made at 

the www.metroinfo.co.nz.

Welfare of residents or protection of trees? 

Shirish 

Paranjape 

from the 

Fendalton- 

Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Board talks 

about issues 

around trees in his ward 

WE THE residents of the 

garden city of Christchurch are 

justifiably proud of our gardens, 

plants and trees. 

These aspects of nature 

provide a unique character to 

our city, together with streams, 

rivers, lakes, coastline and, of 

course, the hills and mountains. 

Most of our reserves and 

streets have trees which are 

pleasant in nature. We are also 

fortunate to have a good blend of 

native and imported trees. 

On the other hand, some trees 

can become problematic for the 

PROBLEM: Tall trees with falling debris are a cause of 

frustration for some residents. 

residents. At the Waimaero – 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board, more than 

once we have heard residents 

who are unhappy with the 

trees at or near their property. 

Without an exception, these 

residents are tree and natureloving 

people, and law-abiding 

residents. Their concerns 

include trees growing too tall 

and casting large shadows over 

houses, depriving residents 

of sunshine (particularly in 

winter), too many acorns and 

other debris falling, risk to those 

walking or cycling under the 

trees and so on. 

In one case, the resident is so 

concerned that they are seriously 

considering moving out of their 

home of 40 years. 

The protection of trees by the 

city council is quite a complex 

subject. We have ‘heritage trees’, 

‘protected trees’ and ‘normal 

trees’ among us. 

Many residents feel that many 

trees have outgrown 

their purpose (pun intentional) 

and need to be addressed 

effectively. 

They feel that the whole issue 

should be looked at in totality, 

not just in isolation about 

protection of trees. 

On the other hand, we 

sometimes hear stories about 

residents taking things into their 

own hands, and doing things 

against the law. 

Of course, we don’t 

want this to happen in our 

neighbourhoods, do we? 

What comes first: The welfare 

of residents or the protection of 

trees? 

Something to ponder on. I 

invite your views on this subject 

to enable a discussion.

Readers respond to a story 

about Northwood residents 

continuing their battle to 

upgrade the intersection of 

Main North Rd, Northwood 

Boulevard and Radcliffe 

Rd, which they believe is 

dangerous 

Sue Rennie – The only thing 

wrong with this intersection is 

the drivers who don’t follow the 

road rules pertaining to traffic 

lights. 

Kain Woodham – Do what 

they always do when it arrives in 

the too-hard basket . . . throw in a 

roundabout. That’s right like the 

roundabout on SH1 ‘motorway’ 

Pegasus. Christchurch has some 

of the best drivers and some of 

the worst drivers I’ve ever seen. 

There is nothing wrong with this 

set of lights, it’s just too much 

thinking for bad drivers who like 

to run reds and shouldn’t be on 

our roads. I’m still wondering 

how these people get their licence 

in Christchurch, seen some 

shockers lately.

about pedestrian refuge island

Dylan Fergusson – Biggest 

problem is people refusing to 

follow basic road rules. Indicate 

at the intersection and turn 

into the lane closest to you, 

apparently that is quite difficult 

for most people. If everyone 

does this there would be far less 

hesitation and waiting when 

there is no arrow. Maybe people 

would start doing it if police 

actually handed out fines to the 

probably hundreds who don’t 

care and do what they like every 

weekend.

Global recognition for Burnside student 

SCHOOLS 


BURNSIDE HIGH student 

E Wen Wong continues to show 

her talents to the world, finishing 

fifth at the Future Problem 

Solving world championships in 

the United States. 

When she saw her result at the 

championships in Wisconsin, she 

got a “complete shock”. 

“It took me a while to comprehend,” 

she said. 

E Wen previously competed in 

the competition in 2016, finishing 

sixth. She said this year’s competition 

was more challenging. 

When E Wen returned from 

the championships last month, 

she started up a community 

problem-solving group at her 

school. She is training a group of 

year 9 students so they can qualify 

for the national competition 

HAPPY RESULT: E Wen Wong

next year. The year 11 student is 

familiar with international relations, 

recently attending a New 

Zealand Model United Nations 

event in Wellington. 

The event involved four days 

of workshops, debates, guest 

speakers and a taste of life as a 

diplomat. 

E Wen is in her second year as 

one of 10 UN youth high school 

ambassadors for the Canterbury 

region. 

However, her talents aren’t 

just limited to competitions and 

conferences. Earlier this year 

she started designing a robot to 

detect plastic in beaches, rivers 

and the ocean. 

She has received support from 

experts at NIWA, ThisDesign 

and Limitless who have shown

interest in the project. The robot 

is called BIRD – which stands for 

Biomimicry Identification Robot 

Device – and is also shaped like 

a bird. 

The plastic can be tagged 

and linked to a crowd-sourced 

clean-up app that guides rubbish 

collectors to dispose of it. 

E Wen has been working on 

the designs for her robot through 

the advocacy organisation she set 

up at school, P.S Our Beaches, 

which is spreading awareness 

about the environment and climate 

change. 

After school, she wants to 

attend university and study a 

combination of subjects she is 

passionate about, including meteorology, 

international law and 

environmental law. 

Allenvale School 

knits together to help 

newborn babies 

ALLENVALE School students 

are doing their part for the

babies stay warm. 

Members of the student council 

visited Christchurch Hospital’s 

neonatal unit recently with a 

basket of knitted clothing. 

More than 100 booties, hats 

and tops were knitted by staff 

members and donated. 

Assistant principal Linda King 

said students were required to 

gather the knitting and take it to 

the hospital as part of their community 

work. 

“It teaches the students one 

of our values of generosity. It 

teaches them that there’s always 

other people out there who need 

a hand and some help.” 

Allenvale is a special school

World Cup call-up for 

former Rangi student 

as persistence pays off 

• By Jacob Page 

GOALKEEPER Una Foyle has 

had the last laugh over the boys 

who wouldn’t pass the ball to 

her. 

The former Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School student, who plays for 

Coastal Spirit, was a shock 

call-up for the New Zealand 

under-20 football World Cup in 

France next month. 

She joins fellow Coastal Spirit 

teammates, defender Rebecca 

Lake and utility Talia Herman- 

Watt. Watt is the non-travelling 

reserve. 

Foyle has made the most of 

her ability between the goal 

posts after making the move to 

the position five years ago. “The 

boys I was playing with just 

stopped passing the ball to me 

so my coach put me back in goal 

and I guess it’s worked out,” she 

said. 

Foyle missed the cut for the 

first New Zealand under-20 wider 

training squad at the start of 

the year and thought her chance 

had vanished. However, she was 

called into the training squad for 

the final camp a fortnight ago 

and won the right to pack her 

bags for France. 

“It was a massive shock and 

surprise to be named after missing 

out initially in the wider 

squad,” she said. 

“I just kept sending (the coach) 

videos of what I was doing down 

here and how I was going and I 

guess it worked.” 

Lake, 19, has been a regular in 

the national age-group set-up. 

“This is a reward for all of the 

early morning sessions and the 

late nights,” she said. 

“I’ve played against most of 

the girls I’m now teammates 

with, so at least there will be 

familiarity there,” the former 

Marian College student said. 

Both Foyle and Lake split their 

time between Coastal Spirit’s top 

women’s side and the 17th grade 

boys team. 

Under new Coastal Spirit football 

development manager Gary 

Bennett, the club is making a big 

push so girls and women’s football 

can prosper next season. 

“I have a real passion for girls 

and women’s football and have 

been heavily involved in it for a 

number of years, particularly in 

the United States and Canada,” 

he said. 

“We would love to see girls of 

all ages and ability at Coastal, 

from mini-football, juniors, 

youth through to senior women. 

We are particularly looking 

to strengthen our numbers to 

support our successful women’s 

premier league team for next 

season,” he said.

Elmwood pupil makes his 

mark on world golf stage 


ELMWOOD NORMAL School 

golfer Cooper Moore has won the 

nine and 10-year-old world stars 

of junior golf championship in Las 

Vegas. 

The Russley club player was 

one of three Canterbury golfers 

to compete in the international 

tournament which finished on 

Friday. 

Everglades golfer Ethan Lam 

finished tied for 11th in the same 

age-group, while his older brother 

Hayden finished seventh in the 

11 to 12-year-old boys grade. 

The tournament also had golfers 

from Thailand, the United States, 

Malaysia and England competing 

in it. 

The players have three nine-hole 

rounds on a shortened course 

and Cooper finished tied for first 

on one over par. Cooper won the 

event in a play-off after he earned 

a par and his opponent bogeyed 

the hole. 

“Dad just told me to hit it 

straight off the tee and give myself 

the best chance to get on the green 

and that’s how it played out,” 

Cooper said. 

It is Cooper’s first international 

tournament win since he started 

playing the game when he was 

five-years-old. He said he admires 

three-time major winner, US 

golfer Jordan Spieth, and hopes 

to one day play on the PGA tour. 

Spieth drifted out of contention 

and finished tied 

for ninth at the British 

Open on Monday. 

Canterbury Golf 

development manager 

Rachel Thow 

said Cooper had been 

progressing well with 

his golf game. “His handicap 

has gone from 22 to 11 

over the past 12 months 

which is impressive,” 

she said. 

The trio are part 

of the Canterbury 

Golf Xcelerator 

squad in which 

16 promising 

golfers 

between the 

ages of 10 and 

16 train under 

coach Rodney 

Yee. 

Cooper will keep 

hitting balls during he 

winter in an effort to 

keep improving. 

WINNER: Cooper 

Moore, 10, won his 

age group event

GIVE-IT-A-GO archery lessons

The 17-year-old, who lives

New Zealand in the under-20 

match-play and another silver in 

the target 140 under-20 competition. 

“It was my first time wearing

“The result well and truly

Teen archer wins medals 

GrabOne for four archery lessons 

and I really liked it,” Ellis 

said. 

She then competed at South 

Island events and even competed 

at the Australian nationals 

where she won a bronze medal. 

“Australians are far more 

competitive than we are so to 

come away with a medal was 

great,” she said. 

After qualifying for the Oceania 

championships in March, 

Ellis changed her coach and 

made some technical adjustments 

to her form, including 

improving her foot position. 

“The changes I made helped 

me with my accuracy.” 

Ellis is hoping to become 

dux at her school this year and 

then go on to study mechanical 

engineering at the Canterbury 

University next year. 

“Being dux has been a fiveyear 

goal,” she said. “Archery is 

my social life.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

The tree of LIFE 

New research on Gingko 

Biloba excites researchers! 

For decades scientists believed brain 

damage with age, after a stroke or injury 

was irreversible and brain neurons could 

not be repaired. In more recent times, new 

research has shown that neurons can grow 

back with the right conditions and that a 

special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761 

or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to 

assist in this. The implications for stroke 

recovery are obvious, but researchers also 

know many of us suffer from undetected 

“micro-strokes” that over a period of time 

slowly reduce 

our cognitive 

function. 

TEBONIN 

is prescribed 

worldwide 

as a natural 

supportive agent 

for a healthy brain 

and cognitive 

function. 

It supports 

healthy mental 

performance, 

concentration, 

focus, alertness, 

motor function 

and to help with 

many conditions 

including tinnitus 

(ringing and noise 

in the ears), vertigo and normal balance. 

TEBONIN improves micro-circulation 

and helps the blood flow reach those 

critical places it needs to get. It is a potent 

anti-oxidant and makes the red blood 

cells more pliable and capillary walls more 

flexible. 

TEBONIN is one of the most widely 

studied and researched herbal products in 

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba 

extract manufactured via a patented 

multi-step extraction process. Each small 

tablet contains a highly concentrated 

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic 

clinical dose without having to take a large 

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba 

products on the market, and tested by a 

major medical journal, only TEBONIN 

passed all five of the test requirements. 

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements 

and the rest didn’t pass more than three 

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is 

the only Gingko biloba extract shown 

to activated all areas of the brain and is 

considered the gold standard in Gingko. 

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions 

of consumers worldwide for over 30 

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets 

consumed each day. 

TEBONIN and further information 

is available from the Natural Health 

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy in New Brighton. PH: 388-5757. 

They are always happy to help! 

The importance of 

good blood pressure? 

Blood Pressure is an 

indicator of cardiovascular 

as well as overall health. 

Healthy blood flow is vital for 

a healthy body as the blood 

plasma transports nutrients, 

hormones, metabolic waste, 

oxygen and CO2 throughout 

the body. An area in the brain 

keeps check on blood flow 

to ensure health of all cells 

and the organs they make up. 

If blood flow is reduced the 

brain will try to normalise 

blood flow by adjusting the 

heart strength, frequency 

(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood 

vessels all via the central nervous system. 

Over a period of time the blood pressure 

may increase due to the deterioration of 

blood flow and other factors. A higher B/P 

is not ideal and is considered a major risk 

factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure 

and heart failure. Even moderate elevation 

of B/P is considered a major reason for 

shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain 

our B/P in the normal range our overall 

health will be improved. Systolic B/P (The 

upper figure) is when the heart contracts 

and pushes blood around the body. Ideally 

at rest this should be between 100 to 120. 

The diastolic B/P (The lower figure) is the 

pressure in the arteries between beats and 

ideally at rest this should be between 60 

to 70. 

BOOST BRAIN 

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30% 

TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets 

being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60 

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent 

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30 

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance. 

Studies on TEBONIN Show: 

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement 

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall. 

- Reduces errors made & mental stress. 

- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore 

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke. 

- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal 

balance. 

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body. 

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels. 

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light. 

It has been found in around 90% of 

cases high blood pressure is caused by 

an increase in the resistance to blood 

flow in the blood vessels. It is believed 

inflammation, plaque build-up and 

stiffness of the blood vessels are major 

reasons for this increased resistance. 

Checking our blood pressure on a 

regular basis allows us to adjust our diet, 

supplements and lifestyle and to see the 

benefits in our B/P readings. 

Blood Pressure monitors, natural 

supplements and further information 

on how to optimise your overall health 

and B/P naturally is available from the

Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more 

likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with 

a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and 

senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. The images show 

how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back 

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain 

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot 

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder 

blade can give a deep pain in the front of 

the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way 

near the groin can give an ache in the knee 

(especially at night in bed). 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

and wellbeing. 

The same lack of movement can be the 

reason for your knee pain or your shoulder 

pain and the same few treatments could 

make a huge difference for you. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the joint, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

SHOULDER 

PAIN 

KNEE PAIN 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the joint in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

HIP PAIN 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample 

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves whic had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A W OLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Gart hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2.

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the challenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes

IT COULD be some time before 

charges are laid in relation to the 

fatal hit-and-run in Dallington. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg 

Cottam said yesterday the vehicle 

involved in the crash last week 

was still being examined. 

He said there was still a lot of 

work to do to gather all the information 

and finish police inquiries 

before any charges would be laid. 

“They can take some time,” he 

said. 

“We’ve got six months to lay 

charges in relation to traffic offending 

– it certainly won’t take 

that long.” 

Steffan Pearce- 

Loe (right), 30, was 

hit by a vehicle 

near the Gayhurst 

Rd bridge while 

walking his dogs at 

about 2.30am last 

Thursday. 

He died in hospital 

from his injuries on Friday. 

His funeral was held on Tuesday. 

Police found the vehicle 

involved, which had damage 

consistent with the crash, on Saturday. 

A detective saw it parked 

up a driveway. 

The vehicle’s owner, who was 

driving, has been interviewed by 

police. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Cottam 

remained tight-lipped about 

the driver. •Turn to page 6
