Flooded<br />
footpath<br />
drains Ray’s<br />
will to fight<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
CASEBROOK’S RAY O’Rourke<br />
is fed up with waiting on the city<br />
council to fix a sunken footpath.<br />
Mr O’Rourke lives on Brogar<br />
Pl and said he has been fighting<br />
the city council for nearly two<br />
years to get the uneven footpath<br />
in Sisson Park opposite his<br />
house fixed.<br />
The damage to the footpath<br />
covers about 20m, with Mr<br />
O’Rourke saying it is almost<br />
unusable in bad weather.<br />
“The footpath through there<br />
has sunk lower than the grass.<br />
When it rains you almost need<br />
gumboots to get through it.”<br />
Mr O’Rourke said he was<br />
frustrated that two years of<br />
emailing and calling the city<br />
council about the issue has not<br />
led to any action.<br />

PostShops<br />
to close;<br />
new<br />
premises<br />
sought<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
NEW ZEALAND Post<br />
is closing its Papanui and<br />
Merivale PostShops next year.<br />
The Papanui PostShop at 37<br />
Main North Rd is set to close<br />
on February 1, followed by the<br />
Merivale facility at <strong>18</strong>3 Papanui<br />
Rd in June.<br />
A New Zealand Post<br />
spokesperson said the closures<br />
were the result of a decline in<br />
the amount of mail being sent<br />
and received, with 63,000,000<br />
fewer items nationally being<br />
sent compared to the last<br />
financial year.<br />
New Zealand Post said it<br />
plans to open new branches<br />
in Papanui and Merivale in the<br />
premises of local businesses in<br />
the area, but it did not know<br />
where or when this would be.<br />
“We are actively looking for<br />
businesses to partner with. We<br />
don’t have a time frame on how<br />
long this search will take. The<br />
most important thing for New<br />
Zealand Post is to find the most<br />
suitable businesses to work<br />
with.”<br />
Some say the move will prove<br />
a major inconvenience for<br />
residents and other post offices<br />
in the north-west.<br />

GOOD ON Ray O’Rourke for not giving<br />
up on his battle against the city council (see<br />
page 1).<br />
Ray has been fighting the bureaucrats<br />
for two years to get a small bit of his<br />
neighbourhood fixed.<br />
In terms of jobs, it’s probably just a drop in the bucket when it<br />
comes to city council priorities.<br />
But it is these relatively minor things that don’t get done which<br />
irritate people. After all it’s the Rays of this world who pay their<br />
rates to keep the city running.<br />
There is a glimmer of hope though. Ray’s determination may<br />
finally have paid off.<br />
The city council has indicated it will have the pathway repaired<br />
by midway through next year.<br />
You’ll need more patience Ray.<br />

Board outlines aims for next year<br />
Dealing with<br />
traffic increase<br />
major priority<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THE PAPANUI-Innes<br />
Community Board says water<br />
issues, traffic management and<br />
community spaces will be its<br />
main priorities next year.<br />
At the top of the list is<br />
ensuring plans are in place to<br />
manage the increase in traffic<br />
flow once the Northern Corridor<br />
project has been<br />
completed.<br />
Community<br />
board member<br />
Jo Byrne said<br />
the Northern<br />
Corridor was<br />
Jo Byrne<br />
expected to bring<br />
an extra 20,000-<br />
30,000 vehicles<br />
along Cranford St and through<br />
suburbs in the north-west.<br />
Ms Byrne said ensuring<br />
residents and road-users in<br />
Papanui-Innes are safe is one of<br />
her biggest challengers heading<br />
into the new year.<br />
Papanui-Innes city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson said it was<br />
important to “make sure<br />
everything’s done to mitigate<br />
traffic effects” from the<br />
Northern Corridor.<br />
Cr Davidson said he also<br />
wants to see ongoing issues<br />
with parking options in<br />
Papanui addressed to open<br />
up access to new shops and<br />
businesses which continue to be<br />
developed in the area.<br />
Cr Davidson said concerns<br />
with chlorine in Papanui’s water<br />
is also at the forefront of his<br />
mind. “We’re trying to push<br />
as hard as we can to get the<br />
chlorine out of the water.”<br />
The creation of more spaces<br />
for the community to use is also<br />
a goal for 2019.<br />
ISSUES:<br />
Managing the<br />
increase in traffic<br />
from the Northern<br />
Corridor will be a<br />
priority next year<br />
for the Papanui-<br />
Innes Community<br />
Board.<br />
Ms Byrne said she wanted<br />
to see the plans for the<br />
construction of the Edgeware<br />
Pool gain enough funding to<br />
become a reality.<br />
Cr Davidson said the most<br />
urgent need is to find a new<br />
home and business partner for<br />
the Papanui PostShop, which<br />
will close in February.<br />

LIGHTS AT ST PAUL’S<br />
St Paul’s Anglican Church has<br />

PARK RE-OPENING<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board has confirmed St Albans<br />
Park will reopen in March. The<br />
park has been closed for more<br />
than a year to allow work to be<br />
done to fix its drainage systems.<br />
A community celebration will be<br />
held when the park opens, with<br />
councillors and board members<br />
inviting residents in the area to<br />
discuss options for an annual<br />
community event in the park.<br />

Premises for PostShops sought<br />
•From page 1<br />
Papanui-Innes Ward city<br />
councillor Mike Davidson said the<br />
closure of the Papanui branch was<br />
“very concerning,” given the lack of<br />
certainty around the time frame and<br />
location for opening a new branch in<br />
the area.<br />
“Surely they should have had a new<br />
one running before they decided to<br />
close the current<br />
one.”<br />
Cr Davidson said<br />
his preferred option<br />
would be for New<br />
Zealand Post to<br />
partner with the city<br />
council to open a new<br />
Simon<br />
Templeton<br />
shop in the Papanui<br />
Service Centre.<br />
Age Concern chief<br />
executive Simon Templeton said the<br />
closures would have a “social cost”<br />
for older Papanui residents who still<br />
visit PostShops to carry out their daily<br />
business.<br />
“A lot of people go in and pay their<br />
bills on a monthly basis.”<br />
New Zealand Post said the post<br />
office boxes in Papanui would remain,<br />
but could not confirm the future of the<br />
Merivale boxes.<br />

Coleen Dunlop, 89, was<br />
presented with a Civic Award<br />
by Mayor Lianne Dalziel on<br />
Wednesday for her service to the<br />
Wainoni Avonside Community<br />

She was one of 12 to receive<br />
the award at The Great Hall at<br />
the Christchurch Arts Centre.<br />
Mrs Dunlop has been volunteering<br />
at the trust for 17 years<br />
since it was formed.<br />
She was nominated for the<br />
award by trust co-ordinator<br />
Betty Chapman, trust patron<br />
Margaret Austin and chairman<br />
Rodney Routledge.<br />
Mrs Chapman said Mrs Dunlop<br />
is an amazing woman, who<br />
volunteers most days and always<br />
thinks of others. “You will never<br />
meet someone like her.”<br />
“Coleen also had triple heart<br />
bypass surgery <strong>18</strong> years ago, but<br />
this has never stopped her. She is<br />
always thinking of other people<br />
and worrying as to their wellbeing<br />
and is always wondering<br />
what she can do for them to help<br />
out a little,” she said.<br />

Backlash over Riccarton Rd tree plan<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
A LACK of options during<br />
consultation has been blamed for<br />
the backlash over putting trees<br />
down the middle of Riccarton<br />
Rd.<br />
That’s the view of Riccarton<br />
Bush and Kilmarnock Residents’<br />
Association secretary Bob<br />
Broughton.<br />
Earlier<br />
this month,<br />
Western <strong>News</strong><br />
reported<br />
that central<br />
Riccarton<br />
residents<br />
were against<br />
Bob<br />
Broughton<br />
the idea of a<br />
median with<br />
27 columnar<br />
hornbeam trees on Riccarton Rd<br />
between Clarence and Matipo<br />
Sts.<br />
Readers rejected the idea in<br />
more than 70 responses to the<br />
article in Western <strong>News</strong>.<br />
Mr Broughton said when<br />
the city council consulted with<br />
residents over the changes to<br />
Riccarton Rd in 2015, it didn’t<br />
give an option for a median that<br />
was not lined with trees.<br />
Residents were given two<br />
options: Option A with a treelined<br />
median to “strengthen the<br />
GREENERY: The city council plans to plant 27 columnar hornbeam trees on Riccarton Rd, on<br />
the median between Matipo and Clarence Sts.<br />
character” of the busy Riccarton<br />
Rd shopping area between<br />
Clarence and Matipo Sts, which<br />
was selected.<br />
Option B was for trees on<br />
a widened footpath, with no<br />
mention of a median.<br />
Out of 194 submissions,<br />
98 preferred option A and 96<br />
favoured option B, the city<br />
council said.<br />
Mr Broughton took part in the<br />
consultation and said residents<br />
wanted a median to separate the<br />
traffic, but were against the idea<br />
of trees along the middle of the<br />
road.<br />
If there was an option for<br />
a median without trees, Mr<br />
Broughton believes the outcome<br />
of the consultation would have<br />
been different.<br />
Said city council manager<br />
planning and delivery transport<br />
Lynette Ellis: “The trees in<br />
conjunction with the other<br />
streetscape enhancements,<br />
such as new furniture, paving<br />
and landscaping, provide an<br />
improved and renewed sense<br />
of place to the identity of<br />
central Riccarton as a<br />
destination rather than solely as<br />
a transport corridor. A median<br />
with no trees would not have<br />
provided the same benefits,” she<br />
said.<br />
The upgrade of Riccarton Rd<br />
between Matipo and Harakeke<br />
Sts will start in February. It is<br />
expected to be completed by<br />
<strong>December</strong> 2020.<br />

Battle to fix footpath<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr O’Rourke said his<br />
frustration increased after<br />
the city council recently fixed<br />
another footpath opposite his<br />
house.<br />
“They need to get their<br />
priorities right. I’ve thought<br />
about giving up at times, but . . .<br />
I’m battling on.”<br />
His wait to have the footpath<br />
fixed may be over in June.<br />
Papanui Ward city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson said he was on<br />
Mr O’Rourke’s side and had<br />
been pushing the city council to<br />
get the path fixed by the end of<br />
the year.<br />
However, Cr Davidson<br />
said he was told this was not<br />
possible because the project had<br />
fallen at the “tail end” of the<br />
city council’s programme of<br />
works for the year.<br />
A LONG-SERVING Wainoni<br />
Avonside Community Services<br />
Trust member has been<br />
recognised for her volunteer<br />
work.<br />
Mairehau’s Coleen Dunlop,<br />
89, was presented with a Civic<br />
Award for community service<br />
by Mayor Lianne Dalziel on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
He said it had since reached<br />
a consensus on the issue, with<br />
the footpath expected to be<br />
completed by June.<br />
But Cr Davidson said this had<br />
not happened “as quickly as I<br />
would have liked.”<br />
Mr O’Rourke said he was yet<br />
again disappointed with the<br />
city council’s response, given<br />
that an email he received in<br />
March said the repairs could be<br />
completed by July this year.<br />
“It’s just been promises,<br />
promises and seems to be going<br />
nowhere.”<br />
Mr Davidson praised Mr<br />
O’Rourke for his persistence<br />
with the city council, saying<br />
people like him are the reason<br />
things get done.<br />
“A lot of people will just put<br />
up with these issues and that<br />
shouldn’t have to happen.”<br />
Award for community service<br />
She was one of 12 to receive<br />
the award at the Great Hall at the<br />
Christchurch Arts Centre.<br />
Mrs Dunlop has been volunteering<br />
at the trust for the 17<br />
years it has been in existence.<br />
The awards recognise<br />
substantial service, usually of a<br />
voluntary nature benefiting the<br />
city and its people.<br />
$1110 Christmas cake part<br />
of Gerry’s video series<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
ILAM MP Gerry Brownlee has<br />
proven that a career as a celebrity<br />
chef may be an option if politics<br />
ever falls through.<br />
In his latest series of Facebook<br />
videos, Mr Brownlee showcased<br />
his baking skills and a more laidback<br />
side of his personality.<br />
Mr Brownlee raised $1110<br />
for the Salvation Army after<br />
releasing a series of videos<br />
showing Facebook viewers how<br />
to make the perfect Christmas<br />
cake and auctioning the cake on<br />
Trade Me.<br />
The donation was made as a<br />
tribute to former Lieutenant-<br />
Colonel and Salvation Army<br />
worker Peter Savage, who died<br />
last year.<br />
Mr Brownlee said he did not<br />
want to comment on his good<br />
deed, in spite of receiving a large<br />
response from viewers, simply<br />
saying his reasons for doing it<br />
were “pretty self-explanatory.”<br />
The videos have received<br />
34,600 Facebook views, with the<br />
cake’s Trade Me auction being<br />
viewed 21,000 times before<br />
the sale. Mr Brownlee said in<br />
a previous statement that Mr<br />
Savage “epitomised for me the<br />
Christmas message of peace<br />
and goodwill to all.”<br />
He wanted to do what he could<br />
“to raise a few dollars for the<br />
Salvation Army to help them<br />
with some of the extra things<br />
they do around Christmas time.”<br />
Mr Brownlee’s cake baking<br />
videos were also released as part<br />
of a new push to connect with his<br />
social media audience.<br />

earthquake recovery minister<br />
KITCHEN WHIZZ: Gerry<br />
Brownlee’s special<br />

released his first instructional<br />
video in October, showing<br />
Facebook viewers how to make<br />
home-made fertiliser and<br />
attracting the interest of more<br />
than 37,000 viewers.<br />
Mr Brownlee told the AM<br />
Show in October the videos were<br />
a great way to connect with a<br />
wider audience and show the less<br />
serious side of what he does on<br />
the weekend.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Fishing hook fatal for dog<br />
Warning to<br />
watch out for<br />
beach anglers<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A DOG has died after<br />
swallowing a longline fishing<br />
hook at Waimairi beach.<br />
It has prompted the dog’s<br />
owners to warn other beachgoers<br />
to be wary of longline<br />
fishing devices being used in<br />
busy areas.<br />
Belfast couple Hilary and<br />
Andy Ashby said they are<br />
“devastated” after their 11-yearold<br />
poodle, Sooty, had to be<br />
euthanised when a 3cm hook<br />
became lodged in his throat at<br />
Waimairi beach.<br />
Mrs Ashby was on a morning<br />
walk with her sister-in-law<br />
and their dogs at 10.30am on<br />
<strong>December</strong> 8 when the incident<br />
unfolded.<br />
She said she was walking<br />
towards the North Beach Surf<br />
Lifesaving Club when she saw<br />
an Asian family rolling out a<br />
longline fishing device on the<br />
shore.<br />
Sooty smelled the bait and bit<br />
into the fish attached to one of<br />
OPTION ONE<br />
BEAUTIFUL: Sooty died when a 3cm hook became lodged in<br />
his throat at Waimairi beach.<br />
the hooks.<br />
Mrs Ashby said her dog<br />
“panicked” and was pulling at<br />
the line. She asked the woman<br />
controlling the line for scissors<br />
who called out to her husband to<br />
get a pair.<br />
“He took quite a while to<br />
come. He cut the line . . . at this<br />
stage Sooty was frothing at the<br />
mouth,” she said.<br />
Meanwhile, Mrs Ashby was<br />
juggling trying to get her other<br />
dog, Axel, onto a lead to ensure<br />
he didn’t suffer the same fate.<br />
Sooty was then taken to Pet<br />
Doctors Marshall and Pringle<br />
in Phillipstown where he spent<br />
10 hours on the operating table<br />
before he was taken to the After<br />
Hours Vet.<br />
Mrs Ashby said the hook<br />
punctured Sooty’s esophagus<br />
and the vet had to cut into his<br />
throat to get the hook out.<br />
It is suspected Sooty suffered a<br />
stroke from the stress.<br />
The next morning, Mrs Ashby<br />
was told the treatment was<br />
not going well and made the<br />
decision to have Sooty put<br />
down.<br />
The operation cost about<br />
$3800. “You don’t mind paying<br />
for your loved animal when you<br />
get them back but when you’re<br />
left with nothing and not a little<br />
dog you love, it is very hard,”<br />
Mrs Ashby said.<br />
Mr Ashby said he had no<br />
problem with longline fishing<br />
devices but using them in an<br />
area where there are dogs and<br />
children is “just asking for<br />
trouble.”<br />
“We just don’t want it to<br />
happen to someone else so we<br />
need to make people aware<br />
if they are walking down the<br />
beach,” he said.<br />
An MPI spokeswoman said it<br />
will consider what occurred and<br />
whether any rule changes may<br />
be needed.<br />

THRILLED: Dean Harris-Clarke, 9 (left), Jack Harris-Clarke, 10,<br />
and mother Kate Harris-Clarke with the new BMX gear.<br />
Funding gets Jack on track<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
JACK Harris-Clarke’s family has<br />
been saving money all year to<br />
buy him a BMX bike.<br />
It has been a tough ask for the<br />
Hornby family.<br />
But now their dream has come<br />
true, thanks to the Mazda Foundation<br />
which has stepped in with<br />
a $2500 grant.<br />
The 10-year-old from Hornby<br />
is autistic with limited speech,<br />
and has sensory issues, which<br />
makes him only like fatty food.<br />
To combat his weight, mother<br />
Kate Harris-Clarke has tried<br />
to get him into various sports,<br />
without much success.<br />
But Jack finally found a sport<br />
to play last year, when he went<br />
riding at the Kyle Park BMX<br />
track in Hornby, with his nineyear-old<br />
brother Dean.<br />
But proper equipment was expensive.<br />
After trying various organisations,<br />
the family received<br />
good news last month when they<br />
were granted the money.<br />
“It was incredible, I stood there<br />
and bawled my eyes out,” Mrs<br />
Harris-Clarke said.<br />
With the grant from Mazda<br />
Foundation, the family had<br />
enough savings (originally<br />
intended for Jack) to buy new<br />
equipment for his younger<br />
brother.<br />

Shannon<br />
Smith says<br />
he would<br />
like to see a<br />

Temporary pump track not<br />
good enough – Shirley pupil<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A SHIRLEY Primary School<br />
pupil says the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board’s push to<br />
install a temporary pump track<br />
is not the option he wants.<br />
Shannon Smith, 11, started a<br />
petition for a pump track at the<br />
Shirley Community Reserve but<br />
said he would have preferred a<br />
permanent track instead.<br />
Shannon said he has ridden<br />
on temporary tracks in the past<br />
and “it wasn’t smooth and wasn’t<br />
that nice to ride on.”<br />
He currently has to travel out<br />
of Shirley to find tracks where he<br />
can ride his scooter.<br />
Although he said a temporary<br />
track will be great while it lasts,<br />
once it is eventually moved, he<br />
and his friends will go back to<br />
having nowhere to ride nearby.<br />
“If it’s just temporary, we’d<br />
have to go back into town after<br />
it’s gone.”<br />
Shannon’s dad Tim Weir said<br />
he thought Shannon’s idea<br />
for a permanent track would<br />
mean kids in the area have fun<br />
and connect for many years to<br />
come.<br />
“It would be a place where<br />
they could enjoy hanging out<br />
positively and a good reason to<br />
get them outside.”<br />
The Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board is currently<br />
seeking funding options for the<br />
installation of a temporary track<br />
by June next year.<br />

A CEMETERY which<br />
remembers the victims of the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
could get a name change.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
will ask the city council to<br />
consider adding the word<br />
‘memorial’ to Avonhead Park<br />
Cemetery’s name.<br />
Friends of Avonhead Cemetery<br />
chairman Clive Paris was pleased<br />
with the community board’s<br />
decision.<br />
The cemetery is home to an<br />
interment site opened on the first<br />
anniversary of the quake.<br />
Fifty-eight victims are<br />
memorialised at Avonhead Park<br />
Cemetery, the city council said.<br />
The group has been<br />
campaigning to change the name<br />
to reflect the interment site’s<br />
significance for <strong>18</strong> months.<br />
“It’s a step forward, sanity<br />
prevails, and it’s also the wishes<br />
of families of the deceased<br />
who are buried there from the<br />
[February 22], 2011, earthquake,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We’ve got a $300,000<br />
[interment] there, and referred to<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Cemetery name<br />
change likely<br />
as a memorial by former Mayor<br />
Bob Parker,” Mr Paris said.<br />
Friends of Avonhead Cemetery<br />
will continue to urge city<br />
councillors to change the name.<br />
Community board chairman<br />
Sam MacDonald said the board<br />
was against the recommendation<br />
from city council staff, which was<br />
to keep the existing name.<br />
“Community boards are there<br />
to represent the community. This<br />
council is commonly criticised for<br />
not being prepared to listen to the<br />
community,” Mr MacDonald said.<br />
He expects the city council<br />
to consider the board’s<br />
recommendation in February.<br />
If that recommendation is<br />
accepted, the city council will<br />
start public consultation to<br />
change the name.<br />
Board member Aaron<br />
Campbell disagreed with Friends<br />
of Avonhead Cemetery on the<br />
“sensitive” subject of changing<br />
the name. Mr Campbell was<br />
the only board member to vote<br />
against changing the name.<br />
“Particularly around the<br />
Avonhead Park cemetery,<br />
any changes that have been<br />
made have been extremely<br />
contentious,” he said.<br />

Pressure on to save city’s water<br />
PRECIOUS: Limit the time you<br />
operate your garden hose.<br />
THE CITY council is taking a mythbusting<br />
approach to remind residents<br />
about the need to save water this<br />
summer.<br />
It has put out a series of fact-based<br />
articles via its website and Facebook<br />
page in an effort to correct common<br />
misunderstandings about<br />
water use in Christchurch.<br />
Water supply programme<br />
manager Helen Beaumont<br />
says it’s important people get<br />
the facts so they understand<br />
the importance of saving<br />
water this summer.<br />
“We’ve had a lot people<br />
effectively calling us out for<br />
asking them to save water<br />
when water bottling plants are taking<br />
it out of the ground every day. But<br />
there are two problems with that.<br />
Firstly, the city council doesn’t decide<br />
who can or can’t take groundwater,<br />
Environment Canterbury does, while<br />
taking environmental factors into<br />
account. And secondly, the water<br />
taken by water bottling plants doesn’t<br />
actually affect our public water<br />
supply – they’re separate issues.”<br />
Ms Beaumont says another<br />
common misunderstanding is<br />
around the need to conserve water<br />
this summer.<br />
“It’s not that we’re running out<br />
of water. The problem is we need to<br />
take some water wells out of service<br />
so we can upgrade them and stop<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
chlorinating as fast as possible. If we<br />
keep using too much water, we have<br />
to use more wells to cope, and then<br />
we can’t work on them. It’s really that<br />
simple,” she says.<br />
A wet start to summer in<br />
Christchurch has seen the city<br />
council’s online water dial<br />
spend a number of consecutive<br />
days in the “green zone”,<br />
which is where the city council<br />
wants to see it stay as the city<br />
moves into the warmest part<br />
of the year.<br />
Ms Beaumont says the<br />
rain means people generally<br />
don’t feel the need to turn<br />
on their garden sprinklers<br />
or irrigators, which are the biggest<br />
household water users.<br />
“Running a garden sprinkler or<br />
irrigator for an hour can use up to<br />
1500 litres – or 150 buckets – of<br />
water. That’s a huge amount when<br />
you consider we’re targeting an<br />
average daily use of 212 litres per<br />
person this summer. We’re asking<br />
people to use hand-held hoses to<br />
water – during early morning or late<br />
evening – because you can direct<br />
exactly where the water goes and<br />
avoid wasting it.”<br />

the children’s<br />
Holiday camp a<br />
big success.<br />
“Life-changing” camp for<br />
children with special needs<br />
A CAMP for children with<br />
special needs has been described<br />
as “life-changing.”<br />
Christ’s College year 13 student<br />
Sebastien Lallemant, who lives<br />
in Merivale and helped run the<br />
camp, was one of 78 students<br />
from Christ’s and St Margaret’s<br />
colleges who made the event a<br />
huge success.<br />
Sebastien said the event<br />
had taken a lot of effort to run,<br />
but “it was all worth it in the<br />
end to see all of the kids facial<br />
expressions.”<br />
The children’s holiday camp<br />
was held at Christ’s from<br />
<strong>December</strong> 7-9 and welcomed<br />
14 young people with a diverse<br />
range of needs for a weekend of<br />
activities and fun.<br />
It was the first time the<br />
event had been held in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
The camp was extra special for<br />
the children who attended, as it<br />
was the first time many had ever<br />
spent a night away from their<br />
parents.<br />
It was significant for parents,<br />
too, some of whom had never<br />
had a break from the full-time<br />
caring duties that can come with<br />
raising kids with the most severe<br />
disabilities.<br />
St Margaret’s well-being coordinator<br />
Annie Wynne said<br />
it was “life-changing” for all of<br />
those involved.<br />
Ms Wynne said some<br />
volunteers had been brought to<br />
tears by the positive reactions of<br />
the kids at the camp. The holiday<br />
camp is now set to become an<br />
annual event in Christchurch.<br />
Maiyah gets a star<br />
THE GREATEST gift Maiyah<br />
Martin could receive for<br />
Christmas is to know people<br />
in need have the necessities to<br />
get by.<br />
With the help of her mum<br />
Donna and younger brother<br />
M.J, Maiyah, 8, has been doing<br />
her bit to fundraise for the City<br />
Mission by selling baking at<br />
food markets.<br />
Her services were recognised<br />
when she was presented with a<br />
star by the City Mission as part<br />
of its Walk of Stars pathway<br />
which runs along Oxford Tce.<br />
All of the proceeds from<br />
her baking have gone towards<br />
buying pamper packs full of<br />
toiletries to donate to the City<br />
Mission.<br />
Maiyah’s mission is<br />
documented on her Facebook<br />
page, Girl With Cake Projects,<br />
which has more than 300<br />
Facebook likes.<br />
The pathway displays the<br />
names of people who have<br />
made significant contributions<br />
to the City Mission’s cause.<br />
GENEROUS: Maiyah Martin<br />

City Mission<br />
needs food<br />
THE City Mission is in desperate<br />
need of food donations to make<br />
sure people don’t go hungry at<br />
Christmas.<br />
Demand for its food bank is up<br />
44 per cent, with people lining<br />
up for hours before it opens to get<br />
what they need.<br />
The City Mission expects to<br />
see a 25-30 per cent increase in<br />
demand for its services in the<br />
lead-up to Christmas Day.<br />
Food donations are also in short<br />
supply for its Christmas lunch,<br />
with city missioner Matthew<br />
Mark saying he expects this to<br />
be the City Mission’s “largest<br />
Christmas yet as they face a<br />
significant increase in the need<br />
among their community.”<br />
He said it needs canned food,<br />
toiletries, biscuits, tea and coffee.<br />
For the Christmas lunch, it<br />
needs Christmas cake, pavlova<br />
and mince pies.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />
Skin Rejuvenator<br />
Until Rachel<br />
Hunter’s popular<br />
TV series “TOUR OF<br />
BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was<br />
relatively unknown being<br />
one of the best-kept secrets of<br />
the Pacific Islands. It may however<br />
be the number one natural beauty oil<br />
available as it possesses powerful natural<br />
skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing<br />
properties.<br />
According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low)<br />
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />
it is one of the most effective agents<br />
in promoting the regeneration and<br />
formation of new tissue, thereby<br />
accelerating wound healing and the<br />
growth of healthy skin. Dilo Oil is<br />
super-absorbing and nourishing<br />
and can penetrate all three layers<br />
of the skin, offering exceptional<br />
cell hydration and regeneration.<br />
As well as this, Dilo Oil has potent<br />
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,<br />
antifungal and antioxidant properties.<br />
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />
skin young and youthful and for just about<br />
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />
for which it is considered helpful include<br />
abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and acne<br />
scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch marks,<br />
wrinkles, blisters, burns (including chemical<br />
and radiation), diabetic sores, rashes, shaving<br />
irritation, dry or scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis,<br />
dermatitis, herpes<br />
sores (cold-sores),<br />
insect bites and stings,<br />
rheumatism, pain, sciatica,<br />
shingles, sunburn, rosacea,<br />
athlete’s foot, skin eruptions,<br />
warts, skin ulcers and sores, nappy<br />
rash and almost any other skin ailment<br />
and often with incredible results.<br />
Many beauty and skincare products<br />
on the market today contain unnatural<br />
ingredients that can be toxic and may<br />
even contribute to disease. Generally<br />
the benefits are exaggerated and often<br />
only temporary or camouflage.<br />
Marshall’s Dilo Oil is 100% pure<br />
and certified organic. It has been<br />
cold-pressed from the Dilo nut and<br />
contains absolutely no additives.<br />
Polynesians and Southeast Asians<br />
have revered Dilo Oil for centuries<br />
believing it to be a sacred gift of<br />
nature and the Gods. Dilo Oil<br />
contains a unique blend of fatty<br />
acids that stimulate and supports<br />
the skins natural healing process through<br />
the growth of new healthy skin tissue. It is a<br />
remarkable product we highly recommend to<br />
everyone. A 50ml bottle is $19.90 and 100ml<br />
only $29.90.<br />

NATURAL HEALING & BEAUTY OIL<br />
As seen on Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty<br />
Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin<br />
anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred Dilo<br />
tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil as it<br />
can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration &<br />
regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells<br />
& this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help reduce<br />
lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses<br />
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties.<br />

Collagen<br />
The Body’s Youth Protein<br />
Collagen is the primary<br />
protein in the body. It is a<br />
major component of skin,<br />
hair, nails, muscles, tendons,<br />
ligaments, joint cartilage,<br />

production decreases with age resulting in<br />
many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin,<br />
wrinkles, ligament and tendon injuries and<br />
aching joints. Collagen supplementation<br />

Christmas<br />
Church<br />
Services<br />
Christmas is so much more<br />
than tinsel and trees<br />
There seems to be more and<br />
more to do at Christmas these<br />
days, from choosing between<br />
traditional or up-to-theminute<br />
decoration colour<br />
schemes through to worrying<br />
about having a ‘beach-ready<br />
body’ and buying presents,<br />
food and bubbles.<br />
With all the hype and pressure<br />
around the season, it’s easy<br />
to forget that Christmas is in<br />
fact a faith-based celebration<br />
of the birth of Jesus Christ<br />
and a time to come together<br />

in worship. Churches across<br />
the city are recognising<br />
Christmas and what it means<br />
for Christians in a number of<br />
ways, often with music at the<br />
centre.<br />
Most churches offer Carol<br />
Services encouraging us all<br />
to raise our voices in the<br />
seasonal songs we remember<br />
from our childhood, as well as<br />
concerts, talks and recitals.<br />
It is a time when churches<br />
and faith-based organisations<br />
remind us of how fortunate<br />
Anglican<br />
we are and that it is possible<br />
to give gifts of hope that will<br />
make a true difference at<br />
this time of year. Christmas<br />
is, after all, about giving nor<br />
receiving.<br />
So why not take a moment<br />
away wrapping the expensive<br />
electronics to reflect on the<br />
true meaning of the season<br />
and call into your nearest<br />
church – all are always<br />
welcome, regardless of their<br />
faith, and especially so at<br />
Christmas.<br />
