A FREE hot breakfast including<br />
baked beans, spaghetti, sausages<br />
and porridge is being served up<br />
to the Northcote and Redwood<br />
community.<br />
An off-shoot from community<br />

Page 7 Page 10<br />
breakfast club and fed about 80<br />
people in its first week.<br />
Located at Northcote School,<br />
the breakfast club is different<br />
to others in that it doesn’t just<br />
operate for the school. It is open<br />
to families and anyone else in<br />
the community who wants to<br />
come along, said organiser and<br />
community development worker<br />
Joss Butriss.<br />

“It’s been fabulous. We<br />
couldn’t have asked for better.<br />
Already after the first week I’ve<br />
got kids asking if I can do it five<br />
days a week,” said Miss Butriss.<br />
Currently the club runs on<br />
Monday and Wednesdays.<br />
Miss Butriss said the club is<br />
more than just feeding people,<br />
“it’s about the connections and<br />
philosophy behind it.”<br />

Board chair<br />
takes a<br />
stand over<br />
funding for<br />
organisation<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE FENDALTON-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
should not be funding a project<br />
which targets issues such as<br />
mental health, overcrowded<br />
housing and behavioural<br />
problems.<br />
That’s the stand board chairman<br />
Sam MacDonald took over<br />
$20,000 of funding granted to Te<br />
Ora Hou Otautahi last week.<br />
But Mr MacDonald was the<br />
only board member at the meeting<br />
to vote against the plan.<br />
“I voted against it because it’s<br />
ratepayer money, we have a lot<br />
of priorities in the city and I just<br />
felt that when I talk to my constituents,<br />
it’s more about fixing<br />
our roads and infrastructure with<br />
ratepayers’ money,” he said.<br />
“Don’t get me wrong it’s a noble<br />
cause and what they are doing<br />
is great, but you have to go and<br />
justify it to ratepayers.”<br />
The money will fund Te Ora<br />
Hou’s whanau resiliency project,<br />
which identifies young people<br />
and their families most at risk<br />
for issues such as mental health,<br />
overcrowded housing, poor school<br />
attendance and behavioural<br />
problems, and will work alongside<br />
them for more than <strong>12</strong> months to<br />
develop long-term change.<br />

Bid to further lower speed limit<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
Julie<br />
Greenwood<br />
RELIEF MAY be in sight for<br />
those with concerns about the<br />
speed limit outside Harewood<br />
School.<br />
Last week, the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community<br />
Board approved several speed<br />
limit changes to the Harewood<br />
and Yaldhurst area.<br />
However, it recommended city<br />
council review<br />
the change to the<br />
speed outside<br />
of the school<br />
and consider<br />
lowering it again<br />
from 60km/h to<br />
50km/h. Currently<br />
it is 70km/h.<br />
Harewood<br />
School principal<br />
Julie Greenwood spoke at the<br />
last board meeting, calling for it<br />
to reconsider lowering the speed<br />
to 50km/h, a cause she has been<br />
supporting for many years.<br />
“The community board has<br />
been fantastic at listening to our<br />
concerns as a school, which has<br />
been great.”<br />
“We are delighted that the<br />
speed will be lowered to 60km/h<br />
but we would like them to consider<br />
if it can be 50km/h to make<br />
it consistent with Harewood Rd<br />
. . . this will assist in the safety<br />
of children and parents crossing<br />
the road in the vicinity of the<br />
school,” said Ms Greenwood.<br />
Lower speed limits will aim<br />
to address the changing nature<br />
of post-earthquake, north-west<br />
Christchurch, with its recent and<br />
proposed residential developments.<br />
The changes seek to mitigate<br />
the effects of increased traffic<br />
flows along previously rural<br />
roads and reduce the risk and<br />
severity of accidents to residents<br />
and users of these roads.<br />
City council received 144<br />
public submissions about the<br />
changes, with most supporting<br />
the lowering of speed limits.<br />
The changes will come into<br />
affect in July, following final<br />
approval from city council and<br />
the installing of appropriate<br />
ADJUSTMENTS:<br />
Speed limits<br />
will change<br />
on several<br />
Harewood and<br />
Yaldhurst roads<br />
next month after<br />
the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-<br />
Harewood<br />
Community<br />
Board approved<br />
new changes<br />
last week.<br />
speed signs.<br />
Under the plan, parts of Sawyers<br />
Arms, Waimakariri, Harewood,<br />
Styx Mill, Watsons and<br />
Gardiners Rds will all become<br />
60km/h while parts of Highstead,<br />
Claridges, Hussey and<br />
Harewood Rds will be reduced<br />
to 50km/h.<br />
Sections of Guys, Coringa,<br />
Savills, Conservators and Ryans<br />
Rd will become 60km/h.<br />

OLD MITRE 10 SITE PLANS<br />
Plans for the former Mitre 10 site<br />
in the Bishopdale Village Mall are<br />
still unclear. Last week Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong> reported businessman Doug<br />
Spence had purchased the site.<br />
Bishopdale Centre Association<br />
for Bishopdale Village Businesses<br />
chairwoman Amanda Nuttall<br />
said the organisation is looking<br />
forward to seeing the site, which<br />
has sat empty for two years, be redeveloped.<br />
“Hopefully it will help<br />
re-invigorate the area and draw<br />
more people here. Mr Spence has<br />
some concept plans being drawn<br />
up at the moment which I am<br />
sure he will share with us as soon<br />
as he can”. Mr Spence owns the<br />
Bishopdale New World site and is<br />
currently looking to build a retail<br />
complex in Church Bay.<br />
SHIRLEY SITE CLEAN-UP<br />
Remediation work on the former<br />
Shirley Community Centre site<br />
will begin soon. The site at 10<br />
Shirley Rd will be cleared of all<br />
cabins, stockpiled materials and<br />
stones. Maintenance of the site will<br />
then be handed back to the city<br />
council.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
EXCITING NEW TECHNOLOGY<br />
AT MCMAsTEr & HEAp VETs<br />
Veterinary science is an ever changing,<br />
progressive and exciting field to try to keep<br />
abreast of. Over the past year Steve and I<br />
have invested in an Ultrasound machine<br />
that is of human quality and we also have<br />
digital radiography, which is amazing. Now<br />
I can zoom in on joints and bones to look<br />
for a lesion. We are also moving very shortly<br />
to a new in house laboratory system which<br />
will allow us to perform many more blood<br />
tests in clinic.<br />
Recently we made the<br />
huge leap to change<br />
our veterinary software<br />
system and integrate<br />
a digital system for<br />
patient monitoring,<br />
both our intensive<br />
care, hospital and<br />
surgical patients,<br />
therefore getting<br />
rid of pen and paper completely. Our old<br />
system had served us well for 15 years but<br />
it was high time to go “cloud based”. Last<br />
week we went “Live” with EzyVet software<br />
and actually its not as difficult as I thought<br />
it would be. I’ve learnt you just need an<br />
open mind as any old dog can learn new<br />
tricks. Its actually been quite fun.<br />
There are loads of benefits with EzyVet, one<br />
of them being better faster communication<br />
with you, our client. We now can easily<br />
text or email ( your preference) your<br />
surgical and consultation appointment<br />
times. We will progress into sending you<br />
reminders, if you want, for the products<br />
you regularly purchase from us like flea<br />
and worm treatments, vaccinations,<br />

prescription foods, arthritic medications<br />
etc. Once we get going with the system we<br />
will have ipads out at reception for you to<br />
electronically consent to a procedure and<br />
update your details for us. Our database will<br />
be more accurate and it will speed up the<br />
process.<br />
Once you have consented to a procedure,<br />
your pets details and what its in for gets<br />
transferred digitally to the treatment<br />
area and goes up live on one of our TV<br />
monitors. As certain tasks are completed<br />
like blood tests, radiographs, sedations<br />
given, then the TV monitor ticks these tasks<br />
off. Its been quite hard resisting a paper<br />
chart but we have less clutter and mess<br />
and more accurate means of recording<br />
every little detail now.<br />
I’m really proud of how our 20+ staff have<br />
embraced this challenge and tried hard to<br />
learn all the features these new systems<br />
have to offer. Last<br />
Tuesday I had two<br />
knee surgeries in dogs<br />
to do and Jaimee<br />
my nurse managed<br />
the ipad monitoring<br />
and charting so well.<br />
Everything entered<br />
on the Smartflow<br />
monitoring system<br />
sinks immediately to<br />
the EzyVet software system, therefore<br />
freeing up our time considerably.<br />
Our field is so challenging and exciting and<br />
there is always something new to consider<br />
having to improve the level of service we<br />
can offer. Steve and I have got big plans<br />
in the next <strong>12</strong> months to build onto our<br />
existing Vet Practice, therefore offering<br />
more services to our clients and providing<br />
more space to our ever growing database<br />
of clients and their pets. We will keep you<br />
updated when building starts but we are<br />
hoping by the end of this year.<br />
I’d say “WATCH this SPACE……..<br />

Stand taken over funding<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr MacDonald believes<br />
the funding should come<br />
from the central government,<br />
not local.<br />
Since 2015, the city<br />
council has granted<br />
$246,108 to Te Ora<br />
Hou.<br />
However, deputy<br />
board chairman<br />
Aaron Campbell supported<br />
the funding.<br />
“I am very happy<br />
to give the programme<br />
a shot, unfortunately<br />
there are<br />
no other options right now,<br />
the Government isn’t in<br />
that space and parts of our<br />
Sam<br />
MacDonald<br />
I enjoyed connecting with<br />
Northwood’s business people<br />
recently when I spoke at a<br />
business breakfast around our<br />
current economic climate and<br />
where people think things could<br />
be done better. I enjoyed the<br />
two-way conversation as it is<br />
important to me to know about<br />
the issues that are affecting you<br />
as your voice in Parliament.<br />
I routinely visit our local<br />
businesses to see how they’re<br />
doing.<br />
Highlighting what we do well<br />
in Waimakariri electorate is<br />
something I enjoy. It was great<br />
to bring National’s Conservation<br />
Spokesperson Sarah Dowie to<br />
visit some impressive initiatives<br />
in our area, including a visit to<br />
Odyssey House and an update<br />
on Willowbank’s Kiwi programme.<br />
National’s Spokesperson for<br />
Health Michael Woodhouse was<br />
another colleague I hosted and<br />
we had informative sessions with<br />
the 298 Youth Health Centre<br />
area are in need, we have<br />
got to try do something,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Sure we could choose<br />
not to spend it, but there<br />
are a lot of reasons on why<br />
we should.”<br />
Te Ora Hou<br />
general manager<br />
Jono Campbell<br />
said ideally they<br />
would like to see<br />
more funding from<br />
the Government,<br />
but a key thing<br />
they value about<br />
local government<br />
investment is that it can<br />
meet a local need.<br />

Board chairman<br />
Sam MacDonald<br />
believes<br />
ratepayer money<br />
should be spent<br />
on roads and<br />
infrastructure<br />
rather than<br />
giving it to<br />
community<br />
development<br />
organisations.<br />
locally for local people.”<br />
“While it is important to<br />
invest in infrastructure, it<br />
is also important to invest<br />
in the communities and<br />
people that utilise our infrastructure<br />
and those people,<br />
like our built infrastructure,<br />
have taken a hammering.”<br />
“If we don’t invest in<br />
them then eventually something<br />
breaks and the effort<br />
to find solutions becomes<br />
even more costly, impacting<br />
and time-consuming.”<br />

Building friendships for over-60s<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
ABOUT 340 over-60s<br />
are benefitting from the<br />
Neighbourhood Trust’s Golden<br />
Connections programme which<br />
focuses on building relationships<br />
and friendships between older<br />
people in the community.<br />
Manager of the Mairehau trust<br />
Ginny Larsen said 280 of the 340<br />
in the programme live alone, so<br />
having a place to come and connect<br />
is very important for them.<br />
The programme runs twice a<br />
week with Monday being for a<br />
walking group and Wednesday<br />
for different activities such as<br />
meals, bus trips, movies, hymn<br />
service, games afternoon and a<br />
foot clinic.<br />
“The meals are always hugely<br />
popular – as they say, for many it<br />
is the only time they eat with others.<br />
We have to cut it off at 75, as<br />
we have around eight to 10 volunteers<br />
working in the kitchen,<br />
set-up and serving and we can’t<br />
fit more than 85 into the space.”<br />
Ms Larsen said the group is<br />
“staunch” opting to turn up to<br />
the walking no matter what the<br />
weather.<br />
“They inspire each other,” she<br />
said.<br />
“We love the way people look<br />
after each other and the valuable<br />
friendships that have grown.<br />

When someone is sick, others<br />
send cards and make phone<br />
calls. Sometimes they’ll ask if we<br />
can help organise a care package<br />

who is on-site on Wednesdays.”<br />

Reserve<br />
planting<br />
now tops<br />
2000 trees<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THERE ARE now more than<br />
2000 trees planted in Papanui<br />
Bush as part of a restoration<br />
project for Bridgestone Reserve.<br />
The second planting in Papanui<br />
Bush’s restoration took place last<br />
week.<br />
In spite of the cold and rain<br />
about 100 volunteers turned out<br />
to plant 1400 native trees.<br />
They included Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board members, a<br />
local MP, Papanui Heritage Group<br />
members, the Rotary Clubs of<br />
Riccarton and Papanui, students<br />
from Papanui High School and<br />
members of the public.<br />
Community board member John<br />
Stringer said he saw several fantails<br />
“flitting from new tree to new tree”<br />
while planting took place.<br />
“It was as if to say: ‘Thanks for<br />
these, we approve. Only took you<br />
170 years!’”<br />
The bush once took up 36ha of<br />
land that is now Papanui High<br />
School and Vagues Rd in 1850.<br />
During this time, most trees<br />
were felled over a period of five to<br />
six years.<br />

HEART: The new hall at Christchurch Boy’s High School which won an award at the<br />
<strong>2018</strong> Canterbury Architecture Awards. SKILL: The Cathedral Grammar junior school.<br />
New structures earn awards for architecture<br />
SEVERAL COMMERCIAL and<br />
public architecture projects and<br />
innovative buildings for learning<br />
were recognised at the <strong>2018</strong><br />
Canterbury Architecture Awards last<br />
week.<br />
As part of the peer-reviewed New<br />
Zealand Architecture Awards programme<br />
run by the New Zealand Institute<br />
of Architects, the awards announced<br />
34 winners at a ceremony at<br />
the Transitional Cathedral.<br />
Designed by Architectus, the St<br />
Andrew’s College Centennial Chapel<br />
received an award for it’s “exemplary<br />
response to a challenging brief – to<br />
replace a damaged but much-loved<br />
school building,” said the jury convenor<br />
for this year’s awards architect<br />
Melanda Slemint.<br />
“The chapel roof, a series of folded<br />
ridges and valleys, is a powerful<br />
sculptural element reminiscent<br />
of early church buildings yet contemporary<br />
in execution,” said Ms<br />
Slemint.<br />
Continuing with school awards,<br />
Andrew Barrie Lab and Tezuka Architects<br />
picked up an award for their<br />
work on the Cathedral Grammar<br />
junior school.<br />
“To compose a building that is<br />
so ‘scale specific’ to its primary<br />
occupants also requires immense<br />
patience and diligence, coupled with<br />
serious architectural skill.”<br />
The school also received an interior<br />
award, with the jury commenting<br />
on the “sumptuous and warm character”<br />
and noting that “any building<br />
with a playground on the roof must<br />
be a winner,” said Ms Slemint.<br />
A new hall at Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School designed by Jasmax is a<br />
“clever insertion of a contemporary<br />
building within the traditional<br />
school fabric that has given the<br />
school a new heart,” the jury said.<br />
Awards were also given to a<br />
“community-minded” housing development<br />
in Fendalton, Lintrathen<br />
Gardens and earthquake rebuild<br />
Ellis House, both by Sheppard and<br />
Rout Architects.<br />
A heritage award was given to<br />
restoration projects for Glandovey<br />
House by Warren and Mahoney.<br />
REPLACEMENT: The St Andrew’s College Centennial<br />
Chapel received an award for its ‘exemplary response<br />
to a challenging brief.’<br />

Lend a hand at Northcote School<br />
Northcote<br />
School<br />
principal<br />
Justin Perriam<br />
talks about<br />
volunteers<br />
making a<br />
difference in<br />
pupils’ education<br />
AT NORTHCOTE School we<br />
are so lucky to have a number of<br />
new community initiatives that<br />
we want to share with you, as<br />
well as some that we’d love you<br />
to be involved in.<br />
On May 21, with the<br />
assistance of Neighbourhood<br />
Links and Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi,<br />
a community breakfast club<br />
was launched in the Northcote<br />
community. This has been in<br />
development for some time and<br />
we were excited with the first<br />
breakfast in the multi-purpose<br />
room at Northcote School.<br />
The numbers attending were<br />
higher than expected, catering<br />
to about 30 people on Monday,<br />
and 50 on Wednesday, which is<br />
evidence that the community<br />
needs a programme like this.<br />
Although it is situated within<br />
the school, this is a community<br />
programme and everyone is<br />
welcome. It is supported and<br />
run by a team of volunteers from<br />
LEARNING: Parent helpers and volunteers from the Salvation<br />
Army help Northcote School pupils in the vegetable garden.<br />
the community, alongside staff<br />
from Neighbourhood Links.<br />
Also this term, we have<br />
started our reading mileage<br />
programme, which is designed<br />
to provide pupils with the<br />
opportunity to read more often.<br />
Currently, we have about <strong>12</strong><br />
community members coming<br />
into our school to read daily for<br />
15min with some of our pupils.<br />
This is already showing great<br />
results with pupils displaying<br />
increased enthusiasm and<br />
commitment to improving their<br />
reading ability.<br />
Again this is something we<br />
could not offer without the<br />
support of the greater Northcote<br />
and Redwood community.<br />
Another initiative we have<br />
running at the school is our<br />
vegetable garden programme.<br />
We have parent helpers, along<br />
with members of the Salvation<br />
Army who come in on Tuesday<br />
afternoons and work with<br />
pupils to prepare a meal, which<br />
includes some of the produce<br />
grown in our own garden.<br />
We are currently looking<br />
for people to help lead this<br />
programme, so if this sounds<br />
like you then please get in<br />
contact with the school.<br />
We have two year 10 students<br />
from Papanui High School<br />
who are running after-school<br />
netball sessions on Thursday<br />
afternoons as part of their<br />
Duke of Edinburgh awards. It<br />
is a great way to see our young<br />
future leaders giving back to the<br />
community.<br />
There are always plenty of<br />
opportunities for us all to<br />
become involved in our local<br />
communities and when we do<br />
so, the benefits for our tamariki/<br />
children can be great.<br />
•The breakfast club<br />
runs on Mondays and<br />
Wednesdays at Northcote<br />
School on Tuckers Rd from<br />
8-8.45am. If you’d like to<br />
volunteer and help prepare<br />
the food, please give us a<br />
call on 352 9371.<br />

Readers respond to an article<br />
about the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board asking the<br />
education minister to include<br />
Shirley and Richmond in the<br />
enrolment zone for the new<br />
school at QE II<br />
Craig Orr – Geographically<br />
speaking, it would make sense<br />
to change the zones and utilise<br />
Mairehau High School to service<br />
the majority of that<br />
area and add rooms<br />
if needed. It looks<br />
to be a well underutilised<br />
facility and<br />
is in a sensible place<br />
for the area. Anyone<br />
from say the east<br />
side of Marshland Rd goes to Shirley/<br />
Linwood, and west goes to Mairehau,<br />
maybe it’s not that simple but something<br />
will have to change to find a<br />
balance.<br />
Angela Toomey – Why does<br />
this have to be do hard? Why is<br />
the MoE being so tunnel visioned?<br />
Why can’t they see it’s time to be<br />
innovative? For a community already<br />
ravaged by forces beyond their control<br />
and looking to build hope and<br />
positivity for the youth and families<br />
in Christchurch, the earthquake was<br />
a leveller. Christchurch has been<br />
fractured. The MoE has a prime opportunity<br />
to help bring communities<br />
back to health, mental and physical,<br />
in their attitude to these new schools.<br />
Don’t lose that opportunity MoE.<br />

Medbury pupils move<br />
tonnes of rice for charity<br />
MEDBURY SCHOOL pupils<br />
have gained an insight to what<br />
life is like for refugees after they<br />
moved 118,082kg of rice and<br />
water on Friday.<br />
The whole school event<br />
‘Strength for Sudan’ had a goal<br />
of moving 40,000kg over 40m to<br />
raise funds for World Vision’s 40-<br />
Hour Famine.<br />
School spokeswoman<br />
Rachelle Mathews said this<br />
goal got “totally<br />
obliterated” when<br />
the boys moved<br />
close to triple that<br />
amount.<br />
The pupils were<br />
sponsored per<br />
kilogram moved,<br />
Amos<br />
Pilgrim<br />
total kilograms<br />
moved, or by a<br />
lump sum amount.<br />
The rice and water used was<br />
purchased by the school and will<br />
be donated to the Salvation Army<br />
and Christchurch City Mission.<br />
A similar event, ‘Stroll for<br />
Syria’ took place last year, which<br />
saw the school raise almost<br />
$23,000, the second highest<br />
amount raised by a group in the<br />
South Island.<br />
The event on Friday was<br />
run by year 8 house leaders,<br />
head of community service<br />
Amos Pilgrim, and student<br />
head of community service<br />
LIFT: Year 8 Medbury School pupil Jack McKenzie carries rice<br />
on his head as part of the school’s World Vision challenge.<br />
Sam Moorhead. Mr Pilgrim<br />
said community service events<br />
like this were fast becoming a<br />
highlight of the school’s calendar.<br />
“Money raised from this event<br />
will be used for child-friendly<br />
spaces such as playgrounds and<br />
classrooms. Our boys will get to<br />
make a meaningful difference<br />
in the lives of other children<br />
their age. We were able to come<br />
together as a school community<br />
and continue to develop a culture<br />
of having fun together while<br />
helping those less fortunate than<br />
ourselves,” he said.<br />
The money raised in this year’s<br />
40-hour famine will go towards<br />
supporting the refugee children<br />
of south Sudan and their families<br />
with food, clean water, toilets,<br />
education, emergency response<br />
items, a place to live and a place<br />
to play in child-friendly spaces.<br />

PAPANUI TIGERS’ pitcher<br />
Brittany Terrey’s talents are<br />
taking her all over the world.<br />
The 18-year-old will represent<br />
New Zealand at the under-19<br />
level at the Canada Cup in July<br />
before taking up a two-year<br />
scholarship at Indian Hills Community<br />
College in Iowa.<br />
Terrey has played for the Tigers<br />
since she first played teeball as a<br />
young child.<br />
Her mother, father and grandfather<br />
were all pitchers, and once<br />
she was a teenager, Terrey added<br />
to that legacy.<br />
“It’s definitely an art learning<br />
how to pitch and control your<br />
command on the mound,” she<br />
said.<br />
The Junior White Sox member<br />
has been clocked at 102km/h for<br />
her fast ball while her curve ball<br />
is about 60km/h.<br />
Terrey said she learnt a lot<br />
from her trip to Florida for the<br />
world championships with the<br />
junior White Sox team last year<br />
but admitted she found the step<br />
up challenging.<br />
“Compared to club softball<br />
here, the margins were a lot less<br />
and the skill of some of some of<br />
the other international players<br />
made me step up my performance,”<br />
she said.<br />
Terrey said she wants to win a<br />
ACE<br />
PITCHER:<br />
Brittany<br />
Terrey will<br />
travel to<br />
the Canada<br />
Cup with the<br />
junior White<br />
Sox next<br />
month then<br />
take up a US<br />
scholarship.<br />
Canada Cup for Papanui pitcher<br />
starting berth during the tournament.<br />
“I’m happy to get into any<br />
games and contribute to the<br />
team, but I want to be a starter.”<br />
She said she hoped her past<br />
experience with national agegroup<br />
squads would hold her in<br />
good stead.<br />
The event will run from July 13<br />
to 23 in Surrey, British Columbia,<br />
and provides a platform for<br />
players to compete on the international<br />
stage in advance of next<br />
year’s under-19 women’s World<br />
Cup in Irvine, California.<br />
The Canada Cup offers three<br />
divisions in which federations,<br />
colleges and clubs can compete.<br />

Hidden treasures, right<br />
in the centre of Riccarton<br />
Natural Attraction Antiques and<br />
Treasure started life as a hair salon<br />
(Natural Attraction Hair Stylists)<br />
over 30 years ago and has gradually<br />
transitioned over to an antique shop<br />
with four registered dealers - Sue, Geoff,<br />
Steve and Uma – providing expertise<br />
and unique things. Part of its ongoing<br />
charm is that two of the dealers are still<br />
also hairdressers so some days you will<br />
find clients having their hair done in the<br />
salon section of the shop while others<br />
are browsing the eclectic displays of<br />
jewellery, curios, fabrics and porcelain.<br />
They cover a wide range of traditional<br />
antiques, decorative items and plenty<br />
of interesting collectables making it the<br />
perfect place if you want a special gift<br />
for any occasion or have been searching<br />
for that piece to complete a collection.<br />
Prices are reasonable and range from<br />
$5-$500 with new stock brought in<br />
every week. If they don’t have what you<br />
are looking for, they are always happy<br />
to try and source specific pieces, taking<br />
their treasure-hunt far and wide. You<br />
can also try their main shop, The Ferry<br />
Antique Centre at 282 Ferry Road,<br />
Waltham.<br />
Located at the Windmill Centre, 184<br />
Clarence Street, there is easy parking at<br />
the door and the shop is near to the wellknown<br />
“Ed Hopper” coffee shop - they<br />
recommend that customers check out<br />
the coffees and legendary date scones.<br />

TE PAE ON<br />
TRACK FOR 2020<br />
OPENING<br />
01 Weighing an impressive 50 tonnes,<br />
the 50 metre long main steel<br />
roof truss for the auditorium was<br />
recently secured into place.<br />
02 The 1400 seat auditorium is<br />
designed to be flexible and<br />
configurable so different events<br />
can be held simultaneously.<br />
03 Looking out over Victoria Square,<br />
Te Pae’s curved façade reflects<br />
Canterbury’s mountain and<br />
braided river landscapes.<br />
Construction on Te Pae, Christchurch’s<br />
new convention centre, is progressing<br />
rapidly. This venue opens Christchurch<br />
to the world. Having a central city facility<br />
purpose-built for large-scale events allows<br />
opportunities to promote our local strengths<br />
and internationally respected expertise in<br />
sectors such as primary production, earth<br />
sciences, medical research and software<br />
innovation, to an international audience.<br />
01<br />
Already we are expecting 3000 visitors<br />
for events in the month of October 2020,<br />
soon after Te Pae is scheduled to open.<br />
Business event travellers typically<br />
spend twice as much as leisure tourists<br />
and ChristchurchNZ estimates<br />
our city is currently missing out on<br />
$90M in direct investment each year<br />
by not having such a facility.<br />
Christchurch has long been considered a<br />
great city for hosting business events. Te Pae<br />
will ensure we are once again able to welcome<br />
visitors with an experience like no other.<br />

From a phenomenal riverfront location<br />
in the central city, to world-class<br />
purpose-built facilities, Te Pae offers<br />
an experience like no other.<br />
One meaning of Te Pae is ‘gathering<br />
place’. Much more than a traditional<br />
convention centre, this iconic new<br />
facility will indeed be just that -<br />
a gathering place for the 21st century,<br />
where locals and visitors alike come<br />
together to share, learn, be hosted<br />
and entertained. As well as holding<br />
conferences and meetings, you’ll be able<br />
to attend expos, public presentations,<br />
galas and other special events there.<br />
An iconic landmark in our flourishing<br />
cityscape, influences of our landscape<br />
are interwoven into the striking<br />
building design, making it a physical<br />
representation of New Zealand, our<br />
culture and the stories of our people.

Sprinter overcomes fear<br />
to win scholarship in US<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
FORMER ST Margaret’s sprinter<br />
Jordyn Blake didn’t like the<br />
400m distance when she first<br />
started. Now it’s got her a United<br />
States college scholarship.<br />
The 18-year-old will head to<br />
Loyola University Chicago and<br />
compete in its NCAA division<br />
one programme in August after<br />
impressing in her first season<br />
back from injury.<br />
She said she can see the funny<br />
side of her once least favourite<br />
distance now providing her with<br />
SPEEDSTER: Jordyn Blake<br />
has accepted a college<br />
scholarship to Loyola<br />
University Chicago and will<br />
leave in August.<br />
PHOTO: BLAKE FAMILY<br />
a great career opportunity.<br />
“I came to the sport quite late<br />
when I was <strong>12</strong>,” she said. “I was<br />
definitely a sprinter from the<br />
start but I refused to run the<br />
400m for the first couple of years.<br />
“It’s ironic because it’s become<br />
my best event as I’ve got older<br />
and I was joking with dad that<br />
it’s probably the distance that’s<br />
got me the scholarship,” she said.<br />
The former South Island<br />
200m age-group champion<br />
finished fourth in her heat at the<br />
Australian championships in<br />
march.<br />
Blake has taken 2sec off her<br />
personal best time in the 400m<br />
after returning from injury.<br />
“In January of 2016, I had a<br />
sore foot and I was getting physio<br />
on it every week and was being<br />
told it would come right so I kept<br />
competing and playing hockey<br />
on it as well,” she said.<br />
“By November, I had it x-rayed<br />
and it was discovered I had two<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
bones in my foot that were joined<br />
together from birth.<br />
“It’s very common but most<br />
people never discover it, but<br />
because I’d been competing on it<br />
for so long, I had a fracture.”<br />
During her six-month<br />
recovery, Blake said she was able<br />
to work on her technique with<br />
coach Jill Morrison, which has<br />
seen her run personal bests over<br />
all sprint distances in the last<br />
season.<br />
Blake said she gets nervous at<br />
the start of the 400m but believed<br />
it was all part of the love-hate<br />
relationship she has with it.<br />
“There’s nothing in the tank<br />
by the end of it, and I always<br />
like to get a fast start to let my<br />
competitors hear me coming up<br />
on them,” she said. Blake, who<br />
will study business marketing<br />
in Chicago, said she was looking<br />
forward to being able to compete<br />
<strong>12</strong> months of the year, which will<br />
include an indoor season.<br />
Heale gets national hockey call-up<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
ST ALBANS’ Llewellyn Heale<br />
has turned the skills he learnt<br />
on a concrete tennis court with<br />
wooden sticks and a tennis ball<br />
into a New Zealand under-21<br />
hockey call-up.<br />
It is the first time Heale has<br />
been part of a national squad,<br />
with 30 players selected for a<br />
camp in Hawkes Bay from July<br />
16-20.<br />
That squad will be cut to a<br />
travelling squad for the Sultan<br />
of Johor Cup in Malaysia in October<br />
before a test series against<br />
Australia in December.<br />
Heale, a midfielder, has captained<br />
teams throughout the agegrades<br />
and said he will relish the<br />
chance to be part of a national<br />
team environment.<br />
“It’s a really exciting opportunity<br />
to learn loads and I hope to<br />
make the most of it,” he said.<br />
The 19-year-old has come<br />
through the Canterbury agegroup<br />
system, playing Hatch Cup<br />
twice, under-15s, regionals and<br />
under-21s.<br />
The former Christ’s College<br />
captain moved to the Hornby<br />
club this season, eager to take on<br />
more responsibility.<br />
“Hornby gave me the best<br />
chance to be a leader and have<br />
the greatest impact on team success,”<br />
he said.<br />
Heale described himself as a<br />
pass-oriented player who likes to<br />
play at pace with vision up the<br />
field.<br />
Heale is one of seven Canterbury<br />
players in the squad with<br />
Louis Beckert, Lawrence Darling,<br />
Moss Jackson, Declan Keaney,<br />
Sam Lane, Harry Lawson and<br />
Gus Wakeling also part of the<br />
camp.<br />
The squad was selected following<br />
the national under-21 tournament<br />
in May where selectors<br />
put together the <strong>2018</strong> national<br />
programme with the main focus<br />
being the transtasman series at<br />
the end of the year.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
Protect your face<br />
during winter weather<br />
The wind is howling outside, and your<br />
face is taking the brunt of the winter<br />
weather. Cold, chapped, dehydrated skin<br />
is depleting your face of its moisture and<br />
youthful glow.<br />
Plus, with the high levels of chlorination<br />
in the city water, skin damage has taken<br />
place even though the levels<br />
of chlorine are being lowered.<br />
Too little, too late as it doesn’t<br />
matter what age a person is,<br />
the short-term effect on the<br />
body’s skin has been harmful<br />
especially on the face which can<br />
tremendously benefit from the<br />
ADURO LED Light Therapy<br />
machine.<br />
NASA uses LED light therapy<br />
to heal wounds in space and on<br />
earth, imagine what it can do<br />
for your skin.<br />
Acne a concern? As it thrives<br />
in harsh environments like dry<br />
weather or hormonal imbalance<br />
and can be very painful and<br />
uncomfortable, plus acne leaves<br />
a person’s skin looking worn,<br />
leather looking and scarred.<br />
Charmaine and her team to<br />
the rescue. With more than two decades<br />
of experience behind them, the clinic<br />
offers a variety of services including Teeth<br />
Whitening, Anti-Acne, Anti-Aging, Age<br />
Spots, Eczema, Psoriasis, Uneven Skin<br />
Tone, Rejuvenation treatments and so<br />
much more.<br />
BEFORE<br />
AFTER<br />
Amazing results – before and after photos<br />
supplied by a happy client, who has been<br />
battling acne all her life<br />
Their technical LED Light Therapy facial<br />
machine is having astounding results by<br />
infusing nourishment back into the skin<br />
pores with the natural but active Mismo<br />
skincare range.<br />
For acne, the LED machine helps with<br />
anti-bacterial treatments, which makes<br />
puss pools smaller and smaller<br />
over time, so the acne won’t be as<br />
visible on the face. Then as soon<br />
as the acne has started lessening,<br />
switch to the Acne Anti-Scarring<br />
treatment program.<br />
The LED machine also triggers<br />
the regrowth of collagen which<br />
smooths out wrinkles and lessens<br />
facial line severity, Age Spots &<br />
Scars<br />
In addition to the LED laser<br />
machine, the clinic is expanding<br />
its services and relocating to a<br />
new facility in mid-<strong>June</strong>.<br />
“The expansion and new<br />
location is exciting. Our team<br />
looks forward to providing these<br />
new services to our customers<br />
to enhance their lifestyle,” owner<br />
Charmaine smiles.<br />
“We appreciate our customer<br />
loyalty and for the opportunity to serve<br />
them as we started with the Sparklewhite<br />
teeth whitening system, which we still<br />
offer, and then expanded into the LED<br />
Light Therapy and facial treatments and<br />
now have expanded our beauty services,<br />
products, and treatments at our new<br />
location.”<br />
Don’t neglect your skin or body this<br />
winter, plus its always nice to have a<br />
pearly white smile. Check out their<br />
services at www. turnbacktimebeauty.<br />
