Jake’s new challenge<br />
Coast to<br />
Coast<br />
looms for<br />
cancer<br />
survivor<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AS A CHILD Jake Bailey was not<br />
the sporting type.<br />
But at 21-years-old, he is taking<br />
on the Coast to Coast next<br />
month.<br />
The cancer survivor made<br />
international headlines in 2015<br />
with his gripping speech about<br />
his shock diagnosis as head boy<br />
of Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School.<br />
Mr Bailey was told he had two<br />
weeks to live after finding out<br />
he had Burkitt’s Non-Hodgkins<br />
Lymphoma, the fastest growing<br />
cancer known to man.<br />
During the Coast to Coast he<br />
will tackle the 160km cycle part<br />
of the event over two days, in a<br />
team with two old school friends,<br />
who will take on the kayak and<br />
run legs.<br />
Since beating his cancer and<br />
announcing he was in remission<br />

in <strong>January</strong> 2016, Mr Bailey has<br />
been working full-time as a<br />
public speaker. He has shared<br />
his story and what it taught him<br />
across almost 50 cities around<br />
the world.<br />
Now living on the Gold Coast,<br />
Mr Bailey is also the author<br />
What Cancer Taught Me and<br />
features in the documentary The<br />
Common Touch, which is about<br />
his cancer journey.<br />
He will return to Christchurch<br />
next month to compete in<br />
the event he calls “iconic” to<br />
Canterbury.<br />
As a young boy, Mr Bailey<br />
would go with his father to watch<br />
the end of the Coast to Coast.<br />
But he said he “never dreamed<br />
of taking part.”<br />
Mr Bailey’s close call with<br />
death has serve as his motivation<br />
for getting into endurance sport.<br />
“In both a practical sense,<br />
because it minimises my risk of<br />
relapse and makes sure my body<br />
is fit and in an emotional, mental<br />
and personal sense.”<br />
He said he’s developed an<br />
“obsession” in learning what his<br />
body is capable of.<br />
“Going through cancer<br />
treatment and seeing what my<br />
body could withstand, I have<br />
grown a fascination with what<br />
the body can do and putting<br />
mind over matter and having<br />
mental strength. That’s why<br />
endurance sport appeals to me,<br />
it’s a battle between your head<br />
and your body to push yourself.”<br />
Over the last four months,<br />
Mr Bailey has completed<br />
triathlon events, something<br />
which came as a shock to him<br />
as he could not swim more than<br />
25m a year ago.<br />
“I did fairly poorly,” he said.<br />
“But I really enjoyed them.”<br />

THAT’S ONE amazing story on page 1<br />
today.<br />
Jake Bailey, the young bloke who gained<br />
international attention in 2015 with his<br />
gripping speech about his shock cancer<br />
diagnosis, is competing in the Coast to<br />
Coast. He had been given two weeks to live.<br />
Jake’s now 21 and resides on the Gold Coast and is living life<br />
to the fullest.<br />
He will take part in the team event. Jake will do the cycle leg<br />
of 160km while his two mates will run and kayak.<br />
That cycle leg could be savage if there is an easterly wind<br />
blowing.<br />
It will be like biking into a brick wall.<br />
Not bad for someone who was never into sport. It is amazing<br />
what determination can do.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
$20k needed for pool study<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
FINDING $20,000 to pay for a<br />
feasibility study into a pool in<br />
Edgeware is a new priority for<br />
the community group behind the<br />
project.<br />
The St Albans Pavilion and<br />
Pool Group is using a Givealittle<br />
page to raise<br />
money for the<br />
study, which<br />
will assess the<br />
practicality<br />
of the new<br />
Edgeware Pool<br />
designs and<br />
whether it will<br />
Pauline Cotter<br />
be an asset to<br />
the community.<br />
After the<br />
study, the group can then apply<br />
for money from major charitable<br />
funding groups to build the pool.<br />
In 2016, the city council sold<br />
the land for the Edgeware Pool to<br />
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />
Group for $1.<br />
The city council stated at<br />
the time it would not contribute<br />
to the project, but later said it<br />
would commit $1.25 million if<br />
the group could raise the rest of<br />
the $5 million cost.<br />
So far, more than $150,000 has<br />
been raised for the project, which<br />
has been used to cover other costs<br />
DESIGN: The group behind the Edgeware Pool plan needs $20,000 to undertake a feasibility<br />

“The support has been fantastic<br />
from the community. It will<br />
be a fantastic facility as we<br />
are a growing suburb and the<br />
population is increasing,” said<br />
community member Lynne<br />
O’Keefe.<br />
Mrs O’Keefe said monthly<br />
public fundraising quizzes<br />
attended by the public at Bailies<br />
Bar and Restaurant have been a<br />
huge part of fundraising.<br />
Innes Ward city councillor<br />
Pauline Cotter has been behind<br />
the group since it began.<br />
“The reason I’m so passionate<br />
about this is that it’s so important<br />
for young kids, particularly in<br />
that 10-17 age bracket to have<br />
a safe environment for them to<br />
hang out,” said Cr Cotter.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
What it takes to remove the chlorine<br />
With the<br />
clock ticking<br />
on the city<br />
council’s<br />
self-imposed<br />
deadline<br />
to end<br />
temporary<br />
chlorination of the<br />
water supply within<br />
12 months, water<br />
supply improvement<br />
programme manager<br />
Helen Beaumont gives<br />
an update on how the<br />
work is tracking<br />
IT HAS been a year since the city<br />
council voted to temporarily add<br />
chlorine to the drinking water<br />
supply in response to advice from<br />
the Canterbury Medical Officer<br />
of Health.<br />
Over the past few months we<br />
have made significant progress<br />
on upgrading the wells that<br />
supply our water so that we<br />
can get back to having an<br />
unchlorinated water supply.<br />
To date we have upgraded<br />
25 per cent of our wells – by<br />
volume of water produced – to<br />
bring them up to a standard<br />
that exceeds the present<br />
requirements.<br />
We’ve set the bar higher than<br />
required because we anticipate<br />
that more stringent standards<br />
will be introduced by the<br />
Government shortly.<br />
Upgrading each well takes<br />
between two and six weeks and<br />
we can only work on a limited<br />
number of wells at any one time<br />
because we still to need supply<br />
water to homes and businesses.<br />
We have been running a water<br />
conservation campaign asking<br />
people to use less water so we can<br />
continue work on the wells and<br />
we really appreciate the efforts<br />
people have been making.<br />
Our data shows average water<br />
use to date is well below the<br />
summer averages for the past two<br />
years. If that keeps up we should<br />
be able to continue with the well<br />
remediation work as planned.<br />
By May we expect to have<br />
completed interim upgrades on<br />
19 below-ground wells and raised<br />
another 41 wells above ground,<br />
bringing the total number of<br />
secure wells to 98.<br />
Those wells collectively provide<br />
more than 60 per cent of the<br />
city’s water supply.<br />
If we upgrade those wells<br />
as planned, we should<br />
have a sufficient volume of<br />
unchlorinated water to supply<br />
the city over the winter months<br />
when we use about 50 per cent<br />
less water than we do in the<br />
summer.<br />
However, even after doing this<br />
work, providing chlorine-free<br />
water to everyone in every part of<br />
the city remains a challenge.<br />
The water supply is delivered<br />
through nine discrete zones.<br />
The central zone is our biggest<br />
water zone and supplies water to<br />
42 per cent of the population. It<br />
is the oldest part of the city and<br />
where we have the most wells<br />
that need to be raised above<br />
ground.<br />
There is high demand for water<br />
relative to the available capacity<br />
in this zone and, therefore, very<br />
little excess capacity. This makes<br />
it difficult to do the necessary<br />
upgrades.<br />
To address the challenge in<br />
the central zone, in addition<br />
to the interim upgrades on<br />
below-ground wells, we are also<br />
working to install ultra violet<br />
treatment at the main pump<br />
station.<br />
The main pump station is the<br />
biggest supplier of water to the<br />
central zone, and we are working<br />
with the contractor on ways that<br />
the installation can be sped up<br />
so water can be treated with UV<br />
instead of chlorine at this site.<br />
We are also looking at whether<br />
we can transfer water across zone<br />
boundaries.<br />
There are technical challenges<br />
because of the different pressure<br />
levels in some of the zones.<br />
However, it may be possible<br />
for us to use some of the pump<br />
stations on the boundaries of the<br />
central zone to push untreated<br />
water into that area.<br />
In addition, we are<br />
investigating whether we can<br />
make use of two private wells on<br />
the Metro Sports Facility site.<br />
They tap into deep aquifers<br />
and were originally drilled for a<br />
ground-source heat pump that is<br />
no longer required.<br />
They may be suitable to supply<br />
potable water to homes and<br />
businesses in the central zone.<br />
We are confident that seven of<br />
the nine city supply zones will be<br />
chlorine free by May this year.<br />
It is likely that we will have<br />
sufficient water from secure wells<br />
in the Ferrymead zone, and we<br />
are doing further modelling of<br />
water supply options and looking<br />
at opportunities to fast track<br />
works in the central zone.<br />
In the meantime, we are also<br />
looking at how we can reduce the<br />
amount of chlorine in the water.<br />
At the pump stations where<br />
the chlorine has two minutes to<br />
react with the water and disinfect<br />
it before it reaches the first<br />
consumer we have been able to<br />
halve the dose of chlorine.<br />
We are now looking at whether<br />
we can re-route the water at some<br />
of the other pump stations so we<br />
can give the chlorine a longer<br />
time to do its job before it reaches<br />
the first consumer.<br />
For example, if we can send the<br />
water around the block before<br />
it reaches people’s homes, there<br />
may be other pump stations<br />
where we can also reduce the<br />
dose.<br />
Each pump station has<br />
between one and six wells<br />
supplying it. Where some wells<br />
are remediated and some are not,<br />
we have to chlorinate all of the<br />
water unless we can isolate<br />
the wells that haven’t been<br />
remediated.<br />
We can only do that when the<br />
demand for water is low.<br />
When there are periods of<br />
low demand we aim to only use<br />
pump stations without chlorine.<br />
It is only when absolutely<br />
necessary, as water demand<br />
rises, that we bring the<br />
chlorinated pump stations into<br />
service.<br />
We all want the chlorine out<br />
of our water and we are working<br />
hard to ensure we can have an<br />
unchlorinated water supply as<br />
soon as possible.<br />

Breaking down boundaries by being<br />
POPULAR: Mummy blogger Rebecca Keil at home with her two children Ruby and Rocky.<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
REBECCA KEIL describes<br />
herself as “not very vanilla.”<br />
But that trait is what led her to<br />
become an online sensation, that<br />
has brands such as Countdown,<br />
Netflix and Jetstar wanting to<br />
work with her.<br />
The 25-year-old attributes<br />
her online success and<br />
unconventional income solely to<br />
being a conventional, everyday<br />
mother.<br />
Online, Mrs Keil, of<br />
Bishopdale, shares reviews<br />
of a variety of products from<br />
nappies to Tim Tams, helpful<br />
tips and hacks, recipes and ‘her<br />
truths’ about pregnancy and<br />
motherhood.<br />
The mummy-blogger has close<br />
to 24,000 Instagram followers,<br />
her posts can receive up to 1500<br />
‘likes’ and her story posts gain on<br />
average 8000 views.<br />
On YouTube, Mrs Keil has<br />
clocked up more than 1.2 million<br />
views.<br />
But it all began with a blog,<br />
Rocky and Ruby, also the names<br />
of her five-year-old son and threeyear-old<br />
daughter.<br />
In 2015, mummy-blogging was<br />
gaining traction globally and Mrs<br />
Keil spotted a gap in the market<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
She attributes her success to<br />
a candid, raw and authentic<br />
approach to motherhood and<br />
parenting.<br />
“Online, everyone had<br />
beautiful homes, perfect lifestyles<br />
and lots of money, that was what I<br />
was seeing,” she said.<br />
“I was like s**t, why isn’t my<br />
life like this? You begin to<br />
question everything. I just<br />
wanted to be raw, honest and<br />
show that my family and I didn’t<br />
need to fit into a mould to feel<br />
good enough.”<br />
With this logic, her first post<br />
began with advice on ‘pregnancy<br />
hacks’ and she shared the good,<br />
bad and the ugly.<br />
“It just took off, it went<br />
really crazy . . . I was talking<br />
about things that people weren’t<br />
talking about – things that may<br />
have been taboo or “not cool”<br />
to talk about, such as money<br />
and how hard it is at times like<br />
Christmas.”<br />
Two and a half years later,<br />
Rocky and Ruby had become<br />
a rapid success across many<br />
different platforms.<br />
When Mrs Keil’s readership<br />
was averaging between<br />
20-30,000 views a month, she<br />
began working with brands<br />
who wanted to advertise to her<br />
audience.<br />

that’s it, I’ve made it, send me to<br />
Hollywood,” she joked.<br />
Mrs Keil put up a photo on<br />
her Instagram of her and other<br />
mothers at McCafe with their<br />
children.<br />
“I will get sent through a brief<br />
of what they would like, their target<br />
audience, their message. Then<br />
the rest is totally up to me, I’ve<br />
never been censored, I’m not very<br />
vanilla, that’s what they say about<br />
me in the media world.”<br />
In one of her most outrageous<br />
blog posts, Mrs Keil talked<br />
about sex after having babies, to<br />
promote an organic lubrication<br />
company who had reached out<br />
to her.<br />
Now, Mrs Keil has her own<br />
agent and is planning to launch a<br />
website, The Mother Yarns.<br />
She’s completed several tours<br />
around New Zealand, selling<br />
more than 1200 tickets, to people<br />
who want to hear her speak.<br />
One tour helped Mrs Keil and<br />
her husband, Jared Keil, buy their<br />
first home.<br />
On the same tour, she raised<br />
$15,000 for Lifelife Helpline.<br />
“One thing I am passionate<br />
about as an influencer is giving<br />
back to the community. People’s<br />
spent their hard-earned money to<br />
see me, and helped me to buy<br />
a house, so I wanted to give<br />
back.”<br />
Currently, Mrs Keil has ceased<br />
her blog-writing, to work on<br />
launching the brand, where she<br />
hopes to expand her content from<br />
her own life to other women’s<br />
experiences through motherhood<br />
and parenting.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Preparing for an ageing population<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
WORK IS ramping up on<br />
another big retirement village in<br />
the north-west.<br />
The main building of the<br />
$100 million Summerset on<br />
Cavendish, a 7ha complex in<br />
Casebrook, will be completed<br />
later this year.<br />
Spokeswoman Jenny Bridgen<br />
said it expects the building at<br />
the Cavendish Rd site to be<br />
fully operational by December,<br />
with the rest of the site to be<br />
completed by 2021.<br />
It will be one of three<br />
Summerset villages to open in<br />
Christchurch, with the others in<br />
Avonhead and Wigram.<br />
The main building will offer<br />
an award-winning Memory Care<br />
Centre for people affected by<br />
dementia, the first of its kind in<br />
Canterbury, with 20 apartmentstyle<br />
rooms and specialised care<br />
for retirees with fully-developed<br />
dementia.<br />
Mrs Bridgen said the main<br />
building will provide a permanent<br />
“heart” for the new village,<br />
including a movie theatre, chapel,<br />
café, hair salon, shop and on-site<br />
care centre for 36 residents<br />
Summerset’s first memory care<br />
centre opened in Levin at Summerset<br />
by the Ranges in 2016.<br />
It won the Aged Care Association’s<br />
built and grown environment<br />
award for its design in 2017<br />
and was accredited for its services<br />
by Alzheimer’s New Zealand last<br />
year.<br />
These centres are set to be<br />
incorporated into all of Summerset’s<br />
new village locations, including<br />
Summerset at Avonhead,<br />
which will open about June.<br />
As Summerset is working to<br />
becoming a ‘dementia friendly’<br />
organisation by 2020, its staff will<br />
be trained in dementia awareness<br />
to meet the international<br />
standards in helping people<br />
affected by mild to fully<br />
developed dementia to live their<br />
best lives.<br />
“I think our memory care<br />
is really important because it<br />
helps our dementia residents<br />
maintain their independence in a<br />
really secure environment,” said<br />
Summerset on Cavendish village<br />
manager Stephanie Meehan.<br />
The Cavendish Rd site has been<br />
in development for 18 months so<br />
far and has required about 250<br />
tradespeople.<br />
There are 73 current residents,<br />
who have occupied 42 completed<br />
units since March last year.<br />
The village will have 270 units<br />
in total once completed.<br />
“It’s been a privilege to be the<br />
manager of a developing village.<br />
You don’t get that opportunity<br />
very often,” said Ms Meehan.<br />
CONSTRUCTION: The main<br />
building of the $100 million<br />
Summerset on Cavendish will<br />

Celebrating 40 years of Aratupu<br />

• Jess Gibson<br />
BOUNCY CASTLES, games,<br />
music and a sausage sizzle will<br />
be ready for families to enjoy on<br />
Friday.<br />
Staff from a Papanui preschool<br />
sent out an open invitation to<br />
families in the community to<br />
join it in celebrating its 40th<br />
birthday from 3.30-5.30pm on<br />
Friday.<br />
The party will commemorate<br />
Aratupu Preschool and<br />
Nursery’s long dedication to<br />
supporting parents in raising<br />
their children.<br />
Aratupu, formerly known as<br />
Fairhaven Daycare Centre, was<br />
built in front of the Methodist<br />
Mission Children’s home on<br />
Harewood Rd in 1978 as a<br />
place for young children to visit<br />
during the day.<br />
When the children’s home<br />
stopped operating soon<br />
after, Aratupu continued to<br />
provide care for children in<br />
the community with the help<br />
of the Christchurch Methodist<br />
Mission.<br />
It had a strong focus on<br />
supporting young, single<br />
mothers to raise and provide for<br />
their children.<br />
Today, the same focus<br />
remains, including a more<br />
holistic approach which aims to<br />
provide a wraparound service<br />
for all families.<br />
Most of the children enrolled<br />
are from young single parent<br />
families who rely on a benefit or<br />
have a low income, with many<br />
receiving the Work and Income<br />
child care subsidy.<br />
Aratupu practice lead Marcia<br />
Manson-Glover said it is<br />
important for staff to play a vital<br />
role in “supporting families<br />
beyond Aratupu’s walls and<br />
creating the best possible home<br />
environment as well.”<br />
“It takes a village to raise<br />
a child, we know that some<br />
whanau don’t have support<br />
systems or that they struggle to<br />
get the support that they need,”<br />
said Mrs Manson-Glover.<br />
The network of services<br />
provided by Aratupu for families<br />
includes an on site whanau<br />
support worker, community<br />
health worker, whanau room,<br />
parenting courses, child and<br />
parent groups, contracted<br />
facilitators and access to all<br />
Christchurch Methodist Mission<br />
services.<br />
Children are also fed with<br />
a cooked lunch every day,<br />
and Aratupu’s partnership<br />
with Pegasus Health ensures<br />
all children are enrolled with<br />
primary health services such as a<br />
GP and dentist.<br />
Aratupu was awarded the<br />
whanau healthy heart award<br />
from the Heart Foundation.<br />
The award recognised<br />
the preschool as having an<br />
environment that promotes<br />
healthy eating and physical<br />
activity.<br />
Mrs Manson-Glover has<br />
worked at Aratupu for 10 years<br />
and said she has seen generations<br />
of families come through.<br />
“One particular mother<br />
brought her children here and<br />
later became a teacher. Now her<br />
daughter is about to give birth<br />
and she’s on the wait list,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Another family with<br />
six children is about to leave<br />
after 18 years. That’s going to be<br />
a big loss for us.”<br />
“It’s that long-standing<br />
relationship at Aratupu that’s<br />
always really relied on,” said Mrs<br />
Manson-Glover.<br />
On Friday, she said she is<br />
hoping to see a lot of old faces<br />
back and connections.<br />
But also wants to meet new<br />
people and families to connect<br />
with them.<br />

Young footballers<br />
take on Japan’s best<br />
ON TOUR: Seamus Gallagher and Nicholas Murphy leaving<br />
Christchurch in their new Phoenix gear.<br />
CHRISTCHURCH United<br />
youngsters Seamus Gallagher and<br />
Nicholas Murphy have been on<br />
tour in Japan with the Wellington<br />
Phoenix Soccer School.<br />
The two Christchurch United<br />
under-12 players were invited<br />
by the Phoenix management<br />
to strengthen the squad for a<br />
demanding two-week, 10-match<br />
tour against some of Japan’s<br />
leading clubs.<br />
Christchurch United Academy<br />
director Colin Williamson said<br />
the tour was a unique occasion<br />
for Seamus, who attends St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College,<br />
and Nicholas, who will start at St<br />
Bede’s College this year, to test<br />
their skills at a higher level.<br />
“Seamus and Nicholas are two<br />
players with great potential and it<br />
will be interesting to see how they<br />
will do playing alongside other<br />
strong players against top youth<br />
teams,” said Williamson.<br />
Japanese football has created<br />
a global reputation for youth<br />
player development and its junior<br />
and senior teams have been<br />
impressive at FIFA tournaments<br />
across all age-groups.<br />
The Phoenix side arrived on<br />
<strong>January</strong> 10 and the next day<br />
received a stark warning of what<br />
to expect when they were well<br />
beaten 7-1 in their first match<br />
TEAMMATES: Nicholas Murphy (top row, third from right) and<br />
Seamus Gallagher (eighth from right) after their match against<br />
the Yokohama Marinos.<br />
against JEF United, one of Japan’s<br />
leading first division clubs.<br />
The Phoenix lads and their<br />
new Christchurch teammates<br />
bounced back well, beating an<br />
Ichihara BONZ school team, and<br />
then improved even further in a<br />
4-1 win over the local Ichihara<br />
under-12 selection, with Seamus<br />
setting up the third goal.<br />
They then moved to the Tokyo<br />
suburb of Kanagawa where they<br />
played Yokohama Marinos, the<br />
wealthiest club in Japan with<br />
a famous academy that has<br />
produced some of the country’s<br />
biggest names.<br />
The young New Zealanders<br />
showed how much they had<br />
progressed since their heavy first<br />
game defeat by competing well<br />
with their Japanese peers.<br />
It was an even contest at 1-1<br />
at the break, but they allowed<br />
Yokohama to pull away in the<br />
final stages of the 70min game for<br />
an admirable 2-4 defeat.<br />
Phoenix Soccer School director<br />
Jo Dawkins said the boys were in<br />
tears after the match.<br />
“Not because they lost, but<br />
because they knew they deserved<br />
something out of it.”<br />
She said it was one of the closest<br />
results achieved by a junior New<br />
Zealand team.<br />
Things did not get easier as the<br />
young Kiwis faced other J-League<br />
clubs Kawasaki Frontale and<br />
Kashima Reysol.<br />
The players also got a full<br />
cultural immersion while in<br />
Japan, staying three nights<br />
with the families of their<br />
Japanese opponents in the city<br />
of Kashiwa.<br />
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll<br />
Essentials dog rolls have now rebranded to Hanleys Essential<br />
Dog Roll under owner Philippa Hanleys animal nutrition banner.<br />
Philippa has been making natural horse and dog food for over<br />
10 years and lives locally in Geraldine.<br />
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll are not just amazing meat. Philippas<br />
own amino acids blend from Nz whey protein concentrate<br />
are added along with organic minerals, rice and hemp seed oil<br />
from Canterbury. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed ‘nature’s<br />
most perfectly balanced oil’, due to its 3:1 ratio of Omega 6<br />
to Omega 3, deemed an essential requirement for long-term<br />
healthy nutrition. Brown rice flour and other organic minerals<br />
are also added, making the rolls full of clean protein and good<br />
fats. Hanleys contains 18% protein so next time you are buying<br />
your dog roll compare this figure. More protein means you<br />
need to feed less, so you are receiving far better value for<br />
money. Feed less and save more.<br />
It is not just about what is in the rolls. What is missing is also<br />
crucial. No preservatives or chemicals are added. Many pet<br />
owners probably do not realise how hard preservatives are<br />
on a dog’s kidneys and how much damage they may cause. The<br />
business mottos are: ‘enhance all health’ and ‘health before<br />
money’.<br />
Feed just a portion of normal supermarket rolls due to the<br />
superfood ingredients.<br />

eluctant netballer to top coach<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
WHEN SARA Norton was<br />
11-years-old she was reluctantly<br />
dragged out onto the netball<br />
court – and she vowed to never<br />
play the sport again.<br />
“I couldn’t shoot and I hated it<br />
. . . that was my only experience<br />
with netball,” she said. Now<br />
three decades later, the Avonhead<br />
resident has been presented with<br />
a major coaching award from<br />
Netball New Zealand.<br />
Norton, 44, was named<br />
community coach of the year at<br />
the 2018 Netball Coach Awards<br />
Norton credits her youngest<br />
daughter for starting her career<br />
in netball. Fifteen years ago,<br />
her then six-year-old daughter<br />
decided she wanted to play<br />
netball.<br />
But because the primary school<br />
she attended had no coach,<br />
Norton had no choice but to “step<br />
up.”<br />
While she had to “very<br />
quickly” teach herself how to<br />
teach others to play the game,<br />
she soon found she had a flair for<br />
coaching.<br />
The Hornby Netball Club<br />
coach and Christchurch Netball<br />
Centre junior co-ordinator said<br />
she “couldn’t believe it” when she<br />
won the award.<br />
“I do a lot of coaching and<br />
I work really hard. I do that<br />
because I want to do my best for<br />
TOP COACH: Avonhead’s Sara Norton, who was named Netball New Zealand community coach<br />
of the year, with her Hornby Netball Club Founders Trophy.<br />
the girls that I coach. But never<br />
at any point did I even think<br />
about things like (the award). It is<br />
incredible,” she said.<br />
The award capped off a big year<br />
for Norton who was presented<br />
the Founders Trophy by Hornby<br />
Netball Club founder Lynlea<br />
Willan at the September senior<br />
prize-giving.<br />
She was then awarded coach<br />
of the year by the Christchurch<br />
SPORTS<br />
Netball Centre.<br />
Norton said she is happiest as a<br />
coach when she sees a player who<br />
has struggled in the sport make<br />
an improvement by the end of the<br />
netball season.<br />
“If you can get good results that<br />
is fantastic, but there are always<br />
going to be times when your<br />
results aren’t so good,” she said.<br />
Norton said a key thing is<br />
being able to get people on the<br />
team involved in their own<br />
learning.<br />
“Most people want to be better<br />
at what they are doing and the<br />
only way of doing that is if they<br />
are actually doing it,” she said.<br />
“We have got some wonderful<br />
league players, wonderful rugby<br />
players, basketball, netball. You<br />
name it, we have got it,” she said.<br />
Norton has coached more than<br />
20 teams, including Hornby<br />
Senior A, Middleton Grange A<br />
and the under-14 Christchurch<br />
Netball Centre representative<br />
teams.<br />
“I think for anyone who takes<br />
coaching seriously, being able to<br />
do it professionally is always the<br />
goal . . . if I can take it further<br />
great, and if I can’t, I will just<br />
keep on going.”<br />

Selling a property at the same time as finding your next home<br />
can be a stressful juggling-act. However, Mike Pero Bishopdale<br />
North, run by husband and wife team Ian and Cathy Falconer,<br />
are on hand to bring their unique and very client-friendly<br />
approach to real estate and support you through the whole<br />
process. Part of the Mike Pero franchise, their aim is to make<br />
the experience less daunting. They have been through the<br />
same experiences as their clients, having found homes both<br />
to raise their family and for elderly relatives, so they can<br />
appreciate what their sellers and buyers are going through<br />
and what their specific needs are.<br />
Their new venture is based on firm roots and a heap of<br />
experience. Now married for almost three decades, the couple<br />
started married life in Bishopdale, and are passionate about<br />
supporting the area. Cathy has been the Bishopdale Pink<br />
Ribbon volunteer coordinator for the past seven years and<br />
locals are sure to have seen Ian dressed in pink fundraising to<br />
support the cause. This energetic couple has also embraced<br />
the Eat My Lunch appeal to help Kiwi children in need. They<br />
strongly believe in giving back and in being part of the<br />
community.<br />
That carries over in how much they care about their clients.<br />
“It is important to us that we are not intimidating,” explains<br />
Cathy. They are a down-to-earth couple who want to make<br />
a difference to their clients’ lives. Their own experience<br />
of raising children means they know what a family needs,<br />
and Cathy’s experience in the travel sector helps her to<br />
understand a client then work out what will suit them best.<br />
Selling up and moving house needs attention to detail and<br />
an understanding of timelines, something they both excel<br />
at. Ian’s experience as a chef, in retail and as a manager of<br />
supermarkets, gives him the ability to meet the real needs of<br />
real people by making the commercial world user-friendly.<br />
Cathy and Ian’s friendliness, kindness, and desire to help<br />
their clients really shine through. Their aim is to help you<br />
sell your current property so you can find the right home for<br />
your family to happily grow up in, or for empty-nesters to<br />
comfortably grow old in.<br />

result you achieved in selling my brothers home.<br />
You managed to sell the property within our<br />

frame indeed. I believe that your commitment and<br />
dedication to both myself and Brenda as clients has<br />
been unsurpassed. Your focus on the end result<br />

much appreciated I would have no hesitation<br />
in recommending yourself to others who value<br />
professionalism, honesty and integrity. Thank you.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />
Center found those most deficient<br />
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />
brain mass and the lowest scores on<br />
tests measuring short-term memory,<br />
concentration and brain performance.<br />
Another study showed that older people<br />
with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />
have bigger, healthier brains and score<br />
higher on cognitive tests than those with<br />
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark<br />
study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain<br />
shrinkage and declining cognitive function.<br />
B12 is essential for energy production, cell<br />
health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,<br />
nerve health and repair, and prevention<br />
of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />
risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />
and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also<br />
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard<br />
researchers found<br />
a 34% decrease<br />
risk of vision<br />
loss in a study<br />
of participants<br />
aged 40+ who<br />
supplemented with<br />
B12. Another study<br />
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12<br />
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />
it declining with age as the digestive<br />
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />
medication and other drugs further reduce<br />
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and<br />
thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in<br />
the body.<br />

New research on Gingko<br />
Biloba excites researchers!<br />
For decades scientists believed brain<br />
damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />
was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />
not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />
new research has shown that neurons<br />
can grow back with the right conditions<br />
and that a special extract of Gingko<br />
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />
been clinically found to assist in this.<br />
The implications for stroke recovery are<br />
obvious, but researchers also know many<br />
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />
that over a period of time slowly<br />
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />
is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />
supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />
cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />
mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />
alertness, motor function and to help<br />
with many conditions including tinnitus<br />
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />
micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />
flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />
the red blood cells more pliable and<br />
capillary walls more flexible.<br />
TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />
studied and researched herbal products in<br />
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />
extract manufactured via a patented<br />
multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />
tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?<br />
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,<br />
difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs<br />
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.<br />
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain<br />
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against<br />
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,<br />
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.<br />

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />
clinical dose without having to take a large<br />
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />
products on the market, and tested by a<br />
major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />
passed all five of the test requirements.<br />
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />
and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />
the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />
to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />

FREE Arts & Design<br />
course, with NCEA built in<br />
For those looking for a role that combines<br />
artistic and digital talents, then this<br />
outstanding, FREE, entry level course<br />
delivered by local Training Provider Trainme,<br />
is perfect for those wishing to pursue, graphic<br />
design, photography or digital media as a<br />
career.<br />
The course covers the introduction to media<br />
techniques such as drawing and photography.<br />
Students will learn to use design software<br />
and create their own design concepts while<br />
collaborating with other students on creative<br />
projects.<br />
This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19<br />
and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join.<br />
Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if<br />
they show artistic or digital aptitude.<br />
“Many feel that school is not working for<br />
them or they left without qualifications,”<br />
says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary<br />
educator Trainme. “While not necessarily<br />
academically minded, they do have artistic<br />
talents and are very much into digital<br />
technology.”<br />
“This FREE six-month Trainme course,<br />
combines these in a very hands-on, practical<br />
way, giving them an intro<br />
into various digital media.<br />
This way, they can decide<br />
which direction to pursue<br />
as their career focus.”<br />
“As an NZQA approved<br />
programme, NCEA credits<br />
are built in, so if they<br />
apply themselves, they<br />
can graduate with a New<br />
Zealand Certificate in Arts<br />
and Design Level 2, as well<br />
as gaining credits towards NCEA level 1 or<br />
2.” Says Pollard.<br />
“NCEA results will depend on how many<br />
credits they bring to the course to start with,<br />
but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel like school<br />
at all.”<br />

A classic Kiwiana bach<br />
46 Bayview Road, Charteris Bay<br />
Price: $405,000<br />
3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 kitchen/dining room | 1 living room | Off-street parking | Listing Number: 8375<br />
Think Marmite, Pavlova, the All Blacks,<br />
Buzzy Bees etc. etc., this quirky character<br />
filled 3 bedroom classic bach takes us back<br />
to a time when life was simple and less<br />
complicated.<br />
Nestled amongst large mature Manuka<br />
and native trees and enjoying some of<br />
the very best uninterrupted views in the<br />
Harbour this wee charmer is on the market<br />
for the first time in about 60 years. Set on<br />
2 levels, private, sunny and with off-street<br />
parking.<br />
The living area which is upstairs to take<br />
in those magnificent views has a woodburner<br />
to keep things cosy. An added<br />
bonus is a sleep-out set away from the<br />
house and the 979m 2 site is bush clad so no<br />
lawns to mow.<br />
Only approx. 25 minutes drive from<br />
the city come and discover the beauty<br />
of Charteris Bay and all the area has to<br />
offer including Orton Bradley Park and<br />
golf course, beautiful walks and beaches,<br />
nearby tennis courts and cafés and a short<br />
ferry trip to check out Lyttelton.<br />
Being so close to the city makes these<br />
baches very useable, no more hours in<br />
the car and it feels like you are in another<br />
world.<br />
