From Ilam to 

touring with a 

Broadway star 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

WHEN SARAH Greenwood- 

Buchanan retired from a long career 

in hairdressing, she never expected 

to land a job working for one of 

Broadway’s biggest stars. 

But in 2012 English singer Elaine 

Paige was on the hunt for a personal 

dresser during her tour of New 

Zealand, Australia and Asia. 

Greenwood-Buchanan, who works 

on hair and make-up at The Court 

Theatre and lives in Ilam, landed the 

job. 

Earlier this month, she started 

travelling and working with Paige 

again on her tour of Australasia 

which finished last week.

Teenage 

taggers 

caught 

by police 


POLICE HAVE caught six 

youths they believe were involved 

in a tagging spree throughout 

Halswell. 

They want people who have 

had their properties or vehicles 

tagged to call police in a bid to 

gauge the extent of the vandalism 

committed. 

Police are dealing with six 

youths aged between 13-15 

involved with the vandalism that 

occurred on January 28. 

At least two cars and three 

fences were vandalised, along with 

a tool shed broken into at Aidanfield 

where an axe was stolen and 

found lodged into a lawn. 

It is suspected further tagging 

took place in the early hours of 

Tuesday morning. 

The vandalism took place in the 

Aidanfield/Westlake/Halswell 

area. Hornby police youth aid 

worker Senior Constable Bruce 

Ward said police are uncertain 

about to the extent of the damage 

done. But he said in the past police 

have found people do not report 

incidents of tagging when they 

should be.

LOGAN DUNN might only be 15, but he’s 

already making his mark on the bowling 

green. 

On page 14 today, we highlight the 

youngster’s victory in the Canterbury 

men’s first and second first year championship. 

Logan comes from good bowls stock. His father Jason is a 

handy player and those genes have also rubbed off onto Logan’s 

16-year-old brother Jordan. 

In the semi-final, Logan prevailed Jordan. No doubt those two 

will continue to face each other in the years to come. 

Logan was in the Halswell four which was runner up in the 

open section. It also included his father and Darryl Hawker, 

the current Canterbury coach, and part of the great Halswell 

premier rugby league team during the 1980s.

Businesses bid for direct access 


BUSINESSES HAVE banded 

together in a bid to get back 

direct access to their shopping 

area on Main South Rd. 

A petition with almost 150 

signatures has been collected by 

businesses calling for a rightturning 

bay along Main South 

Rd, opposite Harvard Ave. 

They are concerned patronage 

could be declining as customers 

travelling towards Hornby are 

unable to directly access their 

businesses. 

The issue was raised 

in October when the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board approved a 

recommendation to ban vehicles 

from turning right off Main 

South Rd or make U-turns at the 

Harvard Ave intersection. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said at the time a turning bay 

could be put in and a report on 

the issue is expected back in 

April. 

“The board has always been 

supportive of a turning bay,” he 

said. 

However, city council staff 

have not started an investigation 

into the situation. 

Vehicles which want to access 

businesses opposite Harvard Ave 

have to perform a U-turn about 

1km further along Main South 

Rd. The petition was presented 

to the board by RA Shearings 

Contractors director Bob 

Shearing and DA Lewis director 

Mark Lewis. 

Mr Shearing, a former city 

councillor, said his business has 

been there for more than 40 

years and there has never been a 

problem with the road. 

He said there are about 20 

businesses in the shopping block 

with about 200-300 employees. 

“We certainly don’t believe it 

was ever dangerous or is . . . they 

need to make the corner safe to 

do U-turns and the only way to 

do that now is to put a turning 

bay into it which is easy to do.” 

City council transport 

operations manager 

Steffan Thomas said there have 

been 12 crashes reported in the 

past five years – one serious 

injury and three minor injury 

crashes. 

Mr Shearing said if people 

can’t turn there, they will go to 

another business. 

CALL FOR CHANGE: 

Business owners Bob 

Shearing and Mark 

Lewis have collected 

a petition with nearly 

150 signatures to have 

a turning bay installed 

on Main South Rd 

opposite Harvard Ave. 

He is being supported by Mr 

Lewis and Chipmunks Playland 

& Cafe Wigram business partner 

Dell Lu. Mr Lu said he believes 

he has lost customers due to the 

access issue. 

The city council originally 

installed the signs because there 

was no turning bay. 

Mr Thomas said right and 

U-turning traffic obstructs the 

traffic flow along Main South 

Rd and the city council needs to 

deal with the safety issue before 

a turning bay can be put in.

Has your property been tagged? 

•From page 1 

“Half a dozen kids can tag a 

lot of places so we want to be on 

top of this really quickly,” Senior 

Constable Ward said. 

Several youths had gone to 

a house in Halswell 

on Sunday night and 

unbeknownst to the 

parent they snuck out 

in the night, picked up 

more youths, consumed 

alcohol and spraypainted 

properties, he 

said. The tagging was 

brought to the police’s 

attention by one of the 

parents who had seen one of the 

boys covered in spray paint. 

“The parents are horrified,” 

Senior Constable Ward said. 

Residents on Wigram Rd, near 

Westlake Park were one of the 

unfortunate targets on a Monday 

morning. 

A resident, who did not wish 

Bruce Ward 

to be named, woke up at about 

1.15am to a light being shone in 

her window before finding 

two vehicles had been badly 

tagged. Senior Constable Ward 

said either the youths or their 

parents may have to 

pay for reparation or 

community service 

and they will have their 

photos and 

fingerprints taken 

for further use. “If it 

runs into thousands of 

dollars we might have 

to think where we take 

these youths. They may 

have to go to the youth court.” 

If your property or vehicle was 

vandalised between January 28 

and 29 call police on 363 7435.

UNFORTUNATE: The damage sustained from six youths who went on a tagging spree 

throughout Halswell. 

Life on the road with a 

musical theatre legend 

DREAM JOB: Sarah Greenwood-Buchanan has been working 

as a personal hairdresser, tour companion and assistant for 

Broadway star Elaine Paige. 


Well known for her work in 

musical theatre, Paige’s career 

came into the spotlight when 

she played Eva Peron in Andrew 

Lloyd Webber’s production of 

Evita in 1978. 

Greenwood-Buchanan said she 

was “very privileged” to be asked 

back to work as Paige’s personal 

hairdresser, tour companion and 

personal assistant. 

“I think she likes me because 

we like a lot of the same things 

. . . the fact I can help her with 

her hair and make-up is a bit of a 

treat for her because she usually 

always does it herself. We just get 

on really well,” she said. 

While Greenwood- 

Buchanan was in charge 

of setting up Paige’s dressing 

room, she said Paige preferred to 

get ready and decide what to wear 

by herself. 

She described Paige as a “classy 

lady” who knows how to make 

herself look a “million dollars.” 

“She is absolutely lovely. She 

is very down to earth, she has a 

fantastic sense of humour. We 

have a lot of laughs,” Greenwood- 

Buchanan said. 

She said it was a “career 

highlight” to work with Paige. 

“I remember listening to her 

songs in the 80s . . . I was in awe 

of her voice, her presence and 

persona.” 

Touring with Paige in 2012 

“kicked off a massive career” 

for Greenwood-Buchanan who 

“didn’t really know” what she 

was going to do after 29 years as 

a hairdresser. She has since been 

involved in sourcing and styling 

wigs, hairdressing, make-up and 

managing wardrobes backstage 

for shows. 

Following her first tour with 

Paige, Greenwood-Buchanan 

was contacted by one of The 

Court Theatre’s leading directors 

to work on wigs and hair 

backstage. 

“I haven’t looked back really. I 

have been contracted to do this 

work ever since . . . it is a whole 

new career,” she said. 

Greenwood-Buchanan has also 

led an exciting career on stage, 

playing the lead role of Velma 

Kelly in Showbiz Christchurch’s 

production of Chicago in 2008. 

She is also a co-director 

and co-performer in vocal 

trio The Starlets, and hopes to 

perform more for the public this 

year.

More info for quarry application 


• By Anan Zaki 

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury 

and the Selwyn District Council 

are seeking more information 

from Fulton Hogan over its 

planned controversial quarry 

near Templeton. 

ECan requested more 

information about the scope 

of the application, Canterbury

effects on air 

quality, dust 

management, 

groundwater 

effects, well 

use, effects on

The district council 

requested more information 

on transportation matters, 

noise, landscape, assessment 

of effects, mitigation measures 

and planning and other general 

information. 

Fulton Hogan said it will 

respond to the requests for more 

information by February 28. 

Fulton Hogan applied to 

quarry on the site bordered 

by Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones 

and Maddisons Rds between 

Templeton and Weedons in 

November. 

“Once the information is 

deemed to be complete, the 

applications will be publicly 

notified, providing the 

opportunity for submissions to 

be made,” ECan said. 

ECan says once the 

information is received both 

councils will review and assess 

the information to determine 

whether it is complete, or 

whether additional clarification 

from Fulton Hogan. 

Weedons Residents’ Association 

member Simon Moore believed 

the requests for extra information 

by ECan and the district council 

was “well written.” 

“I was quite pleased, it was 

obviously quite thorough and 

it would be very interesting to 

see what their [Fulton Hogan’s] 

response to a lot of the questions 

would be, particularly the issues 

around water and traffic,” Mr 

Moore said. 

Mr Moore believes that if 

Fulton Hogan chose not to 

respond, the quarry was unlikely 

to go ahead because more

information would have been

ECan said that once the 

information is received, both 

ECan and district council 

will review and assess the 

information to determine if it 

is complete or if more 

clarification is needed from 

Fulton Hogan. 

Dates for the resource consent 

hearing will be set once the 

applications are notified. 

Historic hall could be a heritage site 


YALDHURST’S historic war 

memorial hall could be a heritage 

site. 

A site visit made by the city 

council’s heritage team recently 

has found the hall contains heritage 

values which means it could 

be protected under the District 

Plan. If the hall was scheduled 

under the District Plan as a heritage 

building, a resource consent 

would be needed to enable the 

demolition, head of community 

support, governance and partnerships 

John Filsell. 

The site visit also identified the 

hall is physically intact and has 

not changed since 1954 when it 

was built. But Mr Filsell said a 

research and evidence gathering 

phase is needed to provide a full 

picture. 

Yaldhurst Memorial Hall 

Committee member Michelle 

Clark said it “absolutely” believes 

the hall has historical significance 

not only for the city but a 

memorial point of view. 

She said it would be positive if 

the hall was a heritage building 

under the district plan. 

Discussions of the demolition 

of the hall have been ongoing 

since 2015. The hall may also be 

thrown a lifeline with the possibility 

of it being offered back to 

the community for restoration. 

A report exploring options 

on the future of hall will be presented 

to the community board 

between April and June by city 

council staff. But Mr Filsell said 

it is too early establish what the 

options are as not all information 

is available. 

City council staff recommended 

demolishing the hall on 

Pound Rd. 

Yaldhurst Rural Residents’ 

Association chairwoman 

Sara Harnett-Kikstra said 

the community is hoping the 

money set aside for demolishing 

the building could go towards 

restoring it. 

HOPE: The Yaldhurst Memorial Hall could be a heritage site.

Students nuts and bolts about robots 


BURNSIDE HIGH School 

students with a flair for 

electronics will take their own 

robot to a national competition. 

Aditi Sharma, Alisha Sangwan 

and Aarya Advilkar have spent 

hours joining wheels, axles, 

motors and gears to create their 

own robotic machine. 

But the hard work has paid 

off, with the students travelling 

to the Vex Robotics National 

Competition in Auckland later 

this month. 

The competition requires 

students to build and 

programme a robot, which 

will then undertake a series of 

challenges. 

The students have designed 

their robot to launch balls 

through a catapult design, go up 

onto platforms and flip flags. 

It is controlled by a remote 

controller. 

Aditi, 15, said it is an 

opportunity for them as they can 

meet other people who share the 

same interests. 

They have been working on 

building the robot since January 

last year and have spent time in 

their school holidays working on 

the project. 

BUILDERS: Burnside High School students Alisha Sangwan, Aditi Sharma and Aarya Advilkar will 

be taking their robot to the Vex Robotics National Competition 

Alisha, 13, said the students 

are hoping to earn a good 

placing in the competition. 

“Top 50 would be good, but the 

least would be getting experience 

and new ideas of what other 

people think,” she said. 

All three students share an 

interest in electronics and how 

robotics could impact society in 

the future. 

Alisha said while she doesn’t 

think “robots are going to take 

over the world” learning about 

them is helpful if you want 

to go into different types of 

technology. 

She said the programming 

for the robot has similarities to 

science, technology, engineering 

and mathematics. 

Aarya, 14, said she “likes 

robotics so much” and thinks 

it will help her in the future as 

she is considering becoming an 

architect. 

“I like to plan ideas for the 

robots and how it can compete 

in the game and how it can fulfil 

the task within the game,” she 

said. 

Aditi said she is taking three 

technology subjects this year and 

is interested in pursuing a career 

in engineering. 

“I think robots would be a 

good part of society, they can 

help in so many ways. They can 

do things humans can’t,” she 

said. 

About 80 teams from around 

New Zealand are taking part in 

the event which aims to increase 

the awareness of robotics in 

school communities.

Why Riccarton Rd is being upgraded 

The city council answers 

some of the most common 

questions about why it is 

upgrading Riccarton Rd 

Major roadworks to begin this 

month will involve upgrading 

damaged underground pipes 

and rebuilding the road to 

accommodate bus priority 

measures. The nearly two-year 

project is not expected to be 

completed until December 2020. 

Why does this work have to 

be done now? 

The sewer pipes that run underneath 

Riccarton Rd are nearly 

100 years old. They have reached 

the end of their lifespan and 

need replacing. If the city council 

delays replacing them, there is a 

risk they could fail, resulting in 

major disruption and roadworks. 

The road surface is also in poor 

condition, with damage evident 

in many areas. At the same time 

as resurfacing, bus priority will 

be added measures so that buses 

can travel more easily along Riccarton 

Rd, which will cut travel 

times along this busy route. 

Why is it going to take almost 

two years? 

If the city council is only 

resurfacing the road it could 

complete the upgrade in a much 

shorter time frame. It is because 

TURMOIL: The city council has answered some of the most common questions on why 

Riccarton Rd needs to be upgraded. 

it needs to also replace the water 

and sewer pipes that run beneath 

the road that this project is likely 

to take until December 2020 to 

complete. 

What’s the most time-consuming 

aspect of the work? 

The sewer pipe is located 4m 

below the road so a very deep 

trench has to be dug. The trench 

sides need to be supported so it is 

a time-consuming process. Work 

on the trench can only proceed 

about 1m a day. Contractors are 

starting at three different work 

sites to speed up the process. 

Can’t you speed-up the 

work by working at night and 

weekends? 

Contractors will be working 

nights and weekends when 

required, but during the sewer 

pipework, it is dangerous to work 

at night because good lighting 

is needed. There are also motels 

and a rest home along the route 

and night work would be very 

disruptive for them so it is a case 

of balancing the needs of the 

whole community. 

Why are you putting a treelined 

median strip down the 

middle? 

In 2015, the city council asked 

the community for views on two 

upgrade options – one with a 

tree-lined median and one without. 

The option with trees along 

a central median was preferred. 

This option was subsequently 

recommended by the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board to the city council’s 

infrastructure, transport and 

environment committee, which 

approved the scheme in August 

2015. The tree-lined median 

uses space made available by the 

removal of car parks. There is 

still one lane of traffic in each direction, 

as there is now. The treelined 

median should help to slow 

traffic speeds and make the area 

safer for pedestrians, cyclists and 

drivers. The trees, along with 

other streetscape enhancements, 

such as new furniture, paving 

and landscaping, will also make 

this part of central Riccarton 

more attractive and a destination 

rather than solely a transport 

corridor. 

Do other parts of Riccarton 

Rd need upgrading? 

The stretch of Riccarton 

Rd between Deans Ave and 

Harakeke St has already been 

upgraded. No other work of 

this scale is planned but some 

improvements to intersections 

and other facilities, such as for 

cycling, are scheduled to occur 

over the next 10 years.

Western News’ article on 

extending the opening 

hours at the Te Hāpua: 

Halswell Summer Pool 

WESTERN NEWS 

this and you just might find they 

pull their own behaviour into 

line as a car community. Not a 

just a few boy racers making the 

rest look bad. 

Madeline Howe – I think 

the pool hours really need to 

be extended. I have lived in 

Halswell for four years and I 

am a ratepayer and have never 

used the pool because of the 

volume of people there in peak 

times which by the look of it is 

all the time bus loads of kids 

from schools that aren’t from 

Halswell or nowhere near. As the 

generations get older, to be blunt 

they don’t want to be sharing a 

pool with kids diving onto them 

from every angle. I would love 

to go swimming on a hot day at 

8am onwards but not when every 

man and his dog is there. Considering 

being told to keep your 

body moving as you get older, 

it’s all the younger generation 

getting catered for. I brought this 

point up about three years ago 

when I gave up work but sadly 

the pool wasn’t opened until 

3pm when the school went back. 

Very disappointed with lack of 

feedback or support. What are 

rates for? Get active and keep 

moving it would help if I could 

in the pool that was meant for 

everyone. 

Gary Knight – As a community-based 

facility, the Te Hapua: 

Halswell Centre community 

pool is a true asset to Halswell. 

To utilise it to fullest advantage 

would deem the extension of the 

present opening hours to be a 

pro-active step, for the benefit of 

not only Halswell residents but 

many from other areas enjoying 

this facility. In spite of patronage 

levels fluctuating at this venue 

over different time periods, rationale 

must prevail from a city 

council perspective and concede 

the necessity of extended pool 

hours to cater for the rapid 

population growth of Halswell, 

projected to be 34000 to 40000 

by 2035.

at Ruapuna Speedway is

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

CHANGE: A push has been made for the Te Hāpua Halswell Summer Pool hours to be extended. 

Chris Huddlestone – You 

move into an area where there 

are racetracks which have 

been there since 1963 and you 

complain about the noise . . . go 

figure. 

Stacey Benton – It’s a no 

win situation. People complain 

about burnouts on the street 

wanting them to go to a place 

where they can do burnouts and 

then complain they are doing 

burnouts in a controlled environment. 

What the hell . . . it’s a 

racetrack what do people expect? 

Matt Reid – Yaldhurst Rural 

Residents’ Association is always 

whinging. Noise, dust, flight 

paths, quarries. And yet all winter 

the rural residents are burning 

huge amounts of rubbish. 

Kyla Ellis – If they don’t like 

the noise then why move into 

an area or close to a racetrack. 

Don’t like it, do your homework 

and move somewhere else. The 

race track was there before you 

moved into the area. 

Charlene McConchie 

– Why would you complain 

about something that’s only

The brilliant e3 series

happening once a year. It’s a controlled 

environment. Pretty sure 

they weren’t using it all hours of 

the night. Seems selfish, let them 

have it, it’s not like they are using 

it every weekend. 

Ricky Ireland – Weekend 

from hell? It went from noon till 

5.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. 

Sorry Christchurch, we tried 

though. 

Karyn Molloy – I think you 

will find that most of the drivers 

at that burnout competition are 

not the young ones that do burnout 

out on public roads. Surely 

once a year is not bad compared 

to every weekend on the streets, I 

hear a lot in my area every weekend 

then see results on the roads 

when I go out during the week. 

People wanted a pad for them 

and now complain when someone 

uses it. Get over it people. 

Tiffany Burke – If you live 

so close to the track, chances are 

you know when they are going to 

have big events. So maybe make 

plans, have a weekend away, or 

buy earplugs. I live close to it, 

heard the cars, but didn’t sound 

anymore than usual. 

Neil Ward – The speedway 

been there for years and years. 

People move into the area knowing 

it’s there then complain 

about the noise. 

Robyn Jones – I don’t 

understand all these people that 

complain about the noise, yet 

they chose to move into the area 

or build a house when there was 

an existing track. I can hear it 

from my place it doesn’t faze me 

in the slightest. It’s only a few 

weekends every now and again 

and I think the people that use 

the track are entitled to some fun 

if you don’t like the noise why 

move there when the track has 

been there long before the new 

subdivision. Bunch of complainers. 

CJ Hendry – Giving the 

car culture a place to go that is 

already to be used is one of the 

best ideas the city council has 

come up with yet. Create some 

boundaries . . . like sober, fully 

licenced drivers, cars with warrants 

of fitness and registrations. 

But most of all give them somewhere 

to go . . . where they can 

be petrol heads and have some 

fun unimpeded by authority. Do 

style 

noun 

elegance and sophistication. 

synonyms: flair, grace, poise, 

polish, suaveness, urbanity, 

chic, finesse, taste, class, 

comfort, luxury, affluence, 

wealth, opulence, lavishness. 

Jimmy Harvey – That racetrack 

was there long before you. 

Don’t like it? Do your research 

before you move there. 

Ryan Trounce – Section 10 

of the RMA should allow its use 

to continue. I guess that residents 

that are complaining are new to 

the area, post-earthquake had 

no choice to move into a new 

subdivision. Not directly their 

choice, but they are probably on 

the approach for Christchurch 

International Airport too and 

complain about that. 

Mary Ann Grace – We had 

the weekend from hell What a 

joke. Hell is starving to death in 

a third world country, lady! 

Simon Marshall – As the 

owner of the safety crew who 

was at this event I would like to 

say that the noise of this event 

was not over the 90db. I would 

say the speedway this weekend 

was louder than the burnouts. 

Lyn Morris – Two complaints 

out of hundreds of houses 

around there. 

Ben Ditmer – This was a 

fantastic event. There was only 

burnout noise from noon-3pm. 

Don’t buy a house near a racetrack. 

James FitzPatrick – There’s 

no point using a skid pad at Ruapuna. 

The track gets plenty of 

noise complaints from legitimate 

events and use as it is. Say they 

open access to the skid pad for 

said boy racers to use on Friday 

and Saturday nights, they would 

surely have to close it at a reasonable 

hour, say 10pm. I’d doubt 

everyone will just jump in their 

cars and call it a night cause 

the pads closed. A dedicated 

site away from residential areas 

would be best. Station a few 

police during the nights it’s open 

to keep people in line, inspect 

any dodgy vehicles and breath 

test drivers.

“The staff here are 

lovely, giving really 

good care.” 

Nicky Anderson, the new 

clinical manager at Ryman 

Healthcare’s Woodcote 

Retirement Village, likes the 

warmth and friendliness and 

easy access around the village, 

where she is already drawing 

out the best in people. 

A registered nurse, Nicky 

has an outgoing personality 

and shines with enthusiasm 

when she is working with 

fellow staff members and 

residents. She’s keen to build 

on what is already a strong 

team of happy, kind and highly 

motivated staff. 

She has spent much of her 

working life in Canterbury as 

well as bringing up a family 

of four. 

Her career has seen her work 

in a wide variety of health care 

jobs and Ryman has welcomed 

her management skills and 

vast experience in acute clinical 

roles. These have included 

district nursing, nursing at a 

medical centre and previously 

working at another Ryman 

village – the Ngaio Marsh 

Retirement Village. 

Since her arrival at the village 

she has settled back into the 

Ryman way and loves the 

friendly banter between staff. 

She was appointed to the 

role after Woodcote’s previous 

clinical manager, Jacky 

Fitzsimon, transferred to a 

Ryman village in Melbourne. 

She and Village Manager 

Liz Hampton go back many 

years, having trained 

and worked together at 

Christchurch Hospital. 

Nicky likes the open spaces 

in and around Woodcote with 

its single level townhouses, 

studio apartments and 

resthome. The landscaped 

gardens are gorgeous and there 

are plenty of outdoor spaces 

undercover as well as lounges 

at the village where residents, 

friends and family can gather. 

The lovely facilities include a 

dining room, lounges, library, 

petanque court, indoor bowls 

and hair salon. 

There is also an activities 

programme for residents who 

can choose to join in with 

things such as the Ryman 

Triple A exercise programme 

or events and outings. 

“Quite a few of the 

family members have been 

introducing themselves to me. 

Woodcote’s got quite a nice 

feel to it. The residents have 

got their photos up and like to 

tell me about their families.” 

Resident June Mounce says 

it is great to have Nicky at 

the village and she is doing a 

good job. 

Over the years she has 

worked with young and old, 

however, likes the fact that 

she can chat away with a 

resident while changing a 

dressing or attending to their 

regular medications. 

Nicky Anderson (centre) with fellow workers Anu Gill (left) and Lisa Mazey (right). 

“I love the tales they tell, 

talking about things like life 

experience. That’s when you 

get to know them,” she says. 

The support from Ryman 

includes the introduction 

of the exclusive myRyman 

Care app. 

The app is designed for 

staff to have residents care 

information at their ngertips 

on a tablet. There is a tablet in 

every care residents room and 

allows staff to have more time 

with the residents rather than 

on paperwork. The electronic 

care device is colour coded and 

a particularly strong tool for 

resthome care, she says. 

She has had members 

of her own family in care 

facilities, so recognises the 

ADVERTISEMENT 

importance of the standard 

of care and the impact of this to 

every individual resident and 

family member. 

“Ryman is excellent. They 

dot the i’s, cross the t’s and 

provide great care. 

“The staff here are lovely, 

giving really good care and 

they’re good to each other; 

they’re a great team.” 

Peace of mind 

retirement 

Residents enjoy a lovely and private room with 

ensuite and the very best care from our staff.

Andrew Foster – They move 

there because the housing is 

cheap because of the racetrack 

then complain hoping it will get 

closed and their house prices 

will rise. 

Andrew Lawrence – Listening 

to their whinging is more 

damaging than the sound of 

the burnouts. Just shut your 

windows and turn the air conditioning 

on. Then you won’t even 

hear it. 

Matto Croton – And you 

wonder why people do it on the 

streets. 

Jayme Simpson – Don’t live 

near a racetrack if you don’t like 

stuff like this.

another bottle store, there’s one 

already five minutes around the 

road plus the supermarket. 

Jamie Rossiter – I live in 

Halswell and I never objected 

or opposed this. These so-called 

concerned residents’ association 

only represent a small minority 

of residents, not all of us. 

Karen Drummond – There 

are far too many bottle stores 

now. 

Chrissy Cacot – All is not

Desexing pets is responsible 

SPCA 

southern 

region 

general 

manager 

Barry Helem 

writes about 

problems 

the centre based in Hornby 

faces when people don’t 

desex their pets 

In April last year, a little kitten 

named April Penny arrived at 

the SPCA Christchurch Centre. 

The vets noticed an 

abnormality in her chest, and 

an X-ray showed her sternum 

growing inwards towards her 

vital organs. 

She would have eventually 

died from internal bleeding if 

she didn’t receive urgent care. 

A surgery like this hasn’t 

always been possible at SPCA 

due to limited resources, but 

fortunately for April Penny, she 

arrived at our centre just after 

our SPCA hospital opened up. 

It was a great feeling when she 

received the surgery she needed 

to live a happy and healthy life. 

In 2018 we also began building 

our new ringworm unit that will 

open in March this year. 

After years of fundraising, 

we will finally have a facility to 

properly manage the extremely 

infectious disease, that affects 

numerous cats and dogs each 

year. 

But even with new facilities, 

our centre still struggles over the 

summer period – kitten season. 

This summer has been particularly 

busy in Christchurch, 

with hundreds of abandoned 

and stray kittens like April 

Penny needing our help – all 

because people don’t desex their 

pets. 

WESTERN NEWS 

When Ollie the kitten arrived 

at SPCA, he had such bad cat 

flu he needed surgery to remove 

his eye, and Popeye the kitten’s 

conjunctivitis was so severe, it 

looked like he had already lost 

his eye from the infection. 

There are countless other cats 

and kittens with similar stories. 

Every year the SPCA’s main 

goals are to educate New 

Zealanders how to be responsible 

pet owners, break the cycle of 

cruelty, and hopefully see fewer 

animals like April Penny, Ollie 

and Popeye needing our help. 

It’s not small feat trying to 

achieve this change, and we 

can only do it with help

community.

Teen bowls his way to men’s title 

• By Gordon Findlater 

TEENAGER Logan Dunn has 

shown he has a bright future in 

bowls. 

The 15-year-old Halswell 

player defeated Jonathan 

Truesdale, of Cust, 21-10 to win 

the Bowls Canterbury first and 

second year centre title. 

Logan comes from a talented 

bowls family. In the semi-final, 

he defeated his 16-year-old 

brother, Jordan, 21-12. 

“He usually beats me when 

we’re practicing but I got on top 

of him that day,” said Logan. 

He also teamed up with 

his father, Jason Dunn, in 

the Halswell fours team and 

made the final before losing to 

Rangiora 4-20. 

“As soon as we step on the 

green, he’s just another player. 

He accepts that and he wouldn’t 

want it any other way either,” 

said Jason. 

Logan completed a trio of 

final appearances by making 

his way to the under-20 singles 

final which was taken out by 

Rangiora’s Rebecca Jelfs 21-19 in 

a tight match. 

The Bowls Canterbury centre 

championships began with 

round-robin play in November 

before the finals weekend at 

Parklands from January 26-27. 

Although the family represent 

Halswell, they travel to the club 

for inter-club each Saturday from 

their home in Hawarden. 

FAMILY TIES: As well as winning the Bowls Canterbury first and second year centre title, 

Logan Dunn (right) finished second in the men’s fours with Darryl Hawker (left), his father Jason 

Dunn and Paul Matheson. 

“That’s just given the kids 

the best opportunity to fulfil 

what they want to in the game. 

There’s not enough up here in 

our area. Now they’ve got good, 

hard competitive bowlers to go 

against and get their game to the 

next level,” said Jason, who is a 

well know greyhound trainer. He 

grew up in Sydney and pursued 

bowls into his mid-20s. He 

played representative bowls for 

New South Wales but gave the 

sport away when he moved to 

Christchurch in 2007. 

Logan didn’t know about 

bowls until being introduced to 

it by his father when he took him 

to the green two years ago. 

“It just clicked and I’ve liked 

it from day dot,” said Logan. “I 

played rugby for a year but I’m 

too small for that.” 

Canterbury men’s coach 

Darryl Hawker – who played in a 

Halswell fours team with Logan 

– believes the 15-year-old could 

SPORTS 

go a long way in bowls. 

“I think he could have a 

big future in the game, his 

commitment to improving as 

a bowler is impressive,” said 

Hawker. 

Practicing three to four times 

a week, Logan dreams of playing 

the sport professionally one day. 

“I want to be world champion,” 

he said. 

If his progression in the sport 

continues, the Sydney-born 

bowler could find himself 

having to make a choice between 

representing New Zealand or 

Australia one day. 

The family’s current rugby 

allegiances are split, with the 

boys backing the Wallabies and 

the girls cheering on the All 

Blacks. 

As for Logan’s future bowling 

allegiances: “It all depends who 

gives me the offer,” he said. 

Other Halswell players to 

make finals were Phil Austin, 

who was defeated by Elmwood 

Park’s Bruce Humphreys 15-21 

in the men’s under-eight singles 

final, while Rex Carpinter, John 

Connolly and John Topham were 

also beaten finalists in the over 

60s triples. The title was won by 

Elmwood Park 18-4.

Centuries old folk remedy supports 

good health! 

A fermented liquid health 

tonic offers an array of 

powerful health benefits. It is 

none other than the popular 

apple cider vinegar or ACV. 

Since the time of Hippocrates – the “Father 

of Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for its 

curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS & FOLK 

MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he 

found that Vermonters who regularly consumed 

ACV and Honey had excellent health with 

many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the 

farm even when well into their eighties. He also 

noted the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be 

remarkable with many patients reporting almost 

total relief after taking a course of the 

mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that 

the acid and potassium in cider 

vinegar counteracted calcium 

deposits and helped the body 

control calcium use. He also noted 

that Vermonters who consumed 

ACV and H around meal time 

had excellent blood pressure and 

circulation. The reason he found 

was that protein foods thickened 

the blood and vinegar thinned it. 

As the blood thickens it cannot 

pass as easily and quickly through 

the blood vessels and capillaries. This 

poor blood flow would reduce cellular 

health by limiting nutrients to the cells 

as well as waste elimination from the cells. 

To prevent cell damage the body naturally 

increases blood pressure but this puts more stress 

on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having 

ACV and H with meals will help prevent protein 

raising the blood pressure. It also contributes 

to a feeling of greater well-being because the 

thinner blood circulates quickly and more easily 

through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular 

consumption of CV and H to be an excellent 

health tonic with numerous Health attributes. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the 

goodness of the apple in a form that is readily 

accepted by the bodyGood health starts with good 

digestion and assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken 

before food will stimulate and promote healthy 

digestion and assimilation of vital nutrients for 

good health. A well-functioning digestive system 

helps prevent disease by neutralising any toxic 

substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is produced 

in the traditional way and results are likely to 

prove disappointing with these other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV with 20% 

Manuka Honey is produced in Canterbury from 

Organic whole apples in the traditional way. It is 

double strength so you can use less.

Device to prevent 

snoring 

Why put up with broken sleep, when 

help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance 

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and 

dry and raw throats. 

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth 

for comfort, and a follow up service is 

provided. 

Denise Lim has been involved with 

Snores for 22 years and has had a 98% 

success rate with 

people using the 

appliance. Snoring 

can be a health 

hazard, causing 

sleep apnoea, where 

the person actually 

stops breathing for 

short periods. 

It can cause 

short-term memory 

loss, tiredness and 

contribute to high 

blood pressure. 

The Snorex 

device does not feel 

restrictive, is noninvasive 

and carries 

a money-back 

guarantee. 

Many people are referred by ear, nose 

and throat specialists, however, anyone can 

phone for an appointment. 

For an information pack or to discuss 

the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on

Collagen 

The Body’s Youth Protein 

Collagen is the primary protein in the 

body. It is a major component of skin, 

hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, 

joint cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, 

and blood vessels. 

In fact collagen is the primary 

structural component for all tissue 

in the body, providing the strength 

and resilience associated with youth, 

beauty and wellness. The body’s natural 

collagen production decreases with 

age resulting in many signs of aging, 

such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament 

and tendon injuries and aching joints. 

Collagen supplementation is one of 

the most fundamental things a person 

can do to prevent premature aging and 

promote youthful vitality. 

NEOCELL are the industry leaders 

in research on collagen supplementation. 

Through advanced research they have 

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and 

effectively reduce its molecular weight this 

improving the absorption of collagen into 

the blood stream by over 90%. 

A clinical study on NEOCELL 

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to 

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%, 

with 92% of test subjects experiencing 

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing 

visible improvements within two weeks. 

Collagen supplementation provides 

the nutrients necessary to support the 

body’s collagen supply. It can help reduce 

fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin 

elasticity, support building of strong bones 

and teeth, strengthen the nails and hair, 

and is vital for muscle growth, It also 

assists weight loss by helping burn fat 

for energy, promotes wound healing by 

supporting the regeneration of healthy 

tissue as well as help support overall 

health.
