‘sick and 

tired’ of 

criticism 

• By Matt Slaughter 

WELL-KNOWN businessman 

Phil Mauger is sick and tired of 

hearing about where he lives as 

his campaign to become a city 

councillor heats up. 

Mr Mauger, who is standing in 

the Burwood Ward, has fired a 

tirade at sitting councillor Glenn 

Livngstone in an 

increasingly testy 

campaign. 

Mr Mauger, 

head of Maugers 

Contracting 

Ltd, lives in 

Avonhead, but 

grew up in the 

eastern suburbs. 

Cr Livingstone 

has questioned Phil Mauger 

the impact Mr 

Mauger could have living outside 

of Burwood if he was elected. Mr 

Mauger said this would not affect 

the job he would do. 

“Glenn’s about to get a rocket 

right up his a*** very soon in the 

next couple of days, because I am 

sick and tired of hearing about the 

fact that I don’t live in the ward,” 

said Mr Mauger.

Stolen plates used in petrol thefts 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

THIEVES ARE fitting their cars 

with stolen number plates to 

steal petrol. 

But police don’t appear to be 

following up on the issue. 

THe Hornby Community 

Patrol receives weekly statistics 

which shows on average about 

five to 10 number plates are 

stolen across the city each week. 

“I noticed like last week there 

were nine sets of number plates 

stolen … I feel nobody talks 

about it,” patrol chairman Ken 

Chamberlain said. 

It is believed number plates 

are stolen to disguise vehicles 

when crimes are committed – 

mainly for petrol drive-offs and 

burglaries. 

Superintendent Lane Todd 

said number plates are routinely 

stolen for petrol drive-offs. 

Drive-off incidents escalate 

when fuel prices rise. 

He said police take reports but 

it does have to prioritise with 

more serious offending. 

“If there is a vehicle identified 

and has stolen registration 

plates there are limited inquiries 

we can do unless we see good 

footage of the offending person 

on the forecourt,” he said. 

Fuel stations say police leave 

“a lot to be desired” when it 

comes to following up on 

CHANGE: The Hornby Community Patrol is planning a 

fundraiser so that vehicles visiting BP 2go Halswell can be 

fitted with anti-theft number plate screws. 

petrol drive-offs. 

BP 2go Halswell site manager 

Josh Nelson said it hasn’t been 

happy with the police response 

for a long time. 

He said each incident 

of stolen fuel is reported 

to police, a letter is sent to 

the owner of the plate and 

the footage is downloaded 

and saved. 

Mr Nelson said the company 

has an agreement 

with the New Zealand 

Transport Agency which 

will provide registration details 

and the address of the plate’s 

owner. 

“Our hope is if we keep reporting 

them, they (police) realise it is a 

problem. When they have the 

resources they will throw more at 

it,” Mr Nelson said. 

It has had 20 

incidents of stolen fuel 

in the past two months 

– four of the recorded 

incidents involved false 

number plates. 

It is why the Hornby 

Community Patrol 

runs fundraisers at 

BP 2go Halswell which 

involves refitting number plates 

with “anti-theft” screws. 

Rob Jack, who owns four 

Mike Mora 

Mobil stations across the city, 

including Mobil Creyke Rd in 

Ilam said: “If we leave it in the 

hands of the police, not much 

gets done.” 

He said he is not encouraged 

to call police every time fuel is 

stolen because it doesn’t often 

get results, which is why the 

company follows up itself. 

“THat involves me going to 

houses, knocking on doors, 

letters, all that kind of stuff 

which can be a little sketchy at 

times but it is the only way it can 

be done,” he said. 

Mobil Creyke Rd has had 

about 10 petrol drive-offs since 

the beginning of the year. 

In May, Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

chairman Mike Mora had 

his number plate stolen in 

broad daylight while he was 

at a meeting at the Te Hāpua: 

Halswell Centre. 

Mr Mora reported the incident 

to police but has not heard back. 

“It is not the end of the world, 

it is just frustrating. People need 

to be aware that they need to be 

very protective of their vehicle 

number plates,” he said.

WESTERN NEWS 

Thank you for 

helping your 

Fall Zones 

community 

To all of you who have had your 

trees trimmed before they became 

a problem, thank you for keeping all 

the families in your community warm, 

happy, healthy and connected. 

You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your 

neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge 

their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what 

you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here 

at Orion, we just want to say thank you. 

Notice and Growth limit zones

11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m 

400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m 

We’re not exaggerating. 

On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are 

caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact 

with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from 

branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from 

electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are 

also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees. 

How close is too close? 

While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines, 

significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk 

increases the higher the voltage of the power line. 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees 

and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above. 

All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and 

preferably the notice zone. 

Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the 

rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need 

to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed, 

most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to 

disease or adverse weather events. 

Where do I start? 

Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around 

you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree 

trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange 

for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however 

we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within four 

metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from 

Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any 

damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

Will I be fined if I don’t comply? 

If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree 

trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim 

without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you 

liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, 

you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every 

day or part day during which the offence continues. 

More info can be found on our website and if 

you have any questions or notice any trees 

touching power lines in your area, please call 

us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

Review on bus use welcomed 


COMMUNITY organisations 

pushing for youths to use public 

transport in the western suburbs 

have welcomed a review of how 

buses operate. 

Environment Canterbury 

is planning to analyse where 

buses go, their frequency and 

operating hours. But a time 

line is yet to be made available, 

with ECan 

currently 

reviewing the 

Waimakariri 

district before 

moving to 

Selwyn and 

the city. 

The 

Anne Galloway review was 

prompted by 

feedback on the Regional Public 

Transport Plan. 

It has been applauded after 

concerns over youths waiting 

for buses late at night and 

frustrations around catching 

buses during peak times were 

raised at a recent cafe catch-up 

meeting, organised by city 

councillor Anne Galloway. 

CDN Trust Hornby 

community youth worker James 

Harris, who raised the issues, 

said he was “stoked” about the

youth from using public transport. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

review. “There are some young 

people who get concerned when 

they are walking about . . . if 

they are having to walk through 

parks and things in Hornby. The 

tunnel (at Kyle Park) there is 

well-known for not being safe at 

night,” he said. 

But Mr Harris said there are 

even bigger frustrations for 

students trying to catch the bus 

to and from school during peak 

times. 

He said students are having to 

take transfers when travelling to 

the other side of the city. 

Halswell Residents’ 

Association secretary David 

Hawke and Cr Galloway are 

pleased the review will go ahead. 

Mr Hawke said the review will 

hopefully prompt ECan to make 

buses more frequent at peak 

times. 

The association previously 

made a submission to the city 

council’s Annual Plan on buses 

running behind schedule at 

peak times on Halswell and 

Lincoln Rds. 

Cr Galloway said after talking 

to parents of young children two 

issues have been highlighted. 

“Firstly, there are issues of 

standing out in the rain and 

the cold waiting for the bus . . . 

security is another thing from 

talking to parents who won’t let 

their children stand in the dark,” 

she said. 

Cr Galloway is looking 

to work with The Huritini 

Student Council (a council 

made up of Halswell primary 

schools) to make a presentation 

to the Halswell-Hornby- 


on the issue. 

Cr Galloway’s other 

concerns are the buses are too 

expensive for students to use 

and she would like to see a 

family fare or one fare that gets 

students to and from school in 

a day. 

The board has previously 

recommended ECan extend the 

student rate through to people 

aged 19-20 – but this has not 

happened. 

ECan’s fares are discounted 

for youths up to the age of 18. 

Each year the city council 

reviews bus stops but advises 

residents to get in touch with it 

if they are concerned about any 

bus stops in particular.

Kirk Rd stop 

upgrade gets 

green light 


AN EXISTING bus stop outside 

the Templeton Medical Centre 

on Kirk Rd will be upgraded to 

provide easier access for people 

getting on and off the Yellow 

Line. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 


approved the changes last week. 

The city council will paint 

the stop, install bridge blocks to 

improve access to the front and 

rear doors of the bus, and put in a 

new seat. 

The improvements are needed 

due to the deep-dish drain 

channel next to the stop, which 

has been causing bus drivers to 

stop at the nearest driveway to 

provide a safe environment for 

passengers moving between the 

platform and the bus. They often 

have to park over the recently 

developed medical centre’s 

driveway. 

Currently, the stop is 

unmarked, but has a bus stop 

sign attached to a utility pole 

beside the medical centre 

driveway. A number of elderly 

residents raised the issue last year 

with city councillor Jimmy Chen.

Future Problem 

Solving Program 2019 

The international competition was held this year at 

the University of Massachusetts in the USA. 

Future Problem Solving has several components 

and is primarily a program for GATE students. 

We had students competing in the team and 

individual global issues problem solving program 

(GIPS) and also in scenario writing. These students 

were only invited to compete at the international 

competition after placing 1st or 2nd in the national 

competition in Auckland at the end of last year. This 

years’ topic was De-Extinction. 

We are happy to report that William Wray, a Year

Individual GIPS event placed 1st overall in the WORLD!

Burnside High vs Ashburton College Winter 

Sports Exchange 

The Annual sports exchange was held on Tuesday 18 June. 

Overall 7 wins each, but the deciding vote was the Win by Default to Burnside in Senior A Netball. So 

the final score was 8-7 to Burnside. 

All the teams represented their respective schools with pride and passion, and once again it was 

fiercely contested. Ashburton College won the exchange last year 7-5, with limited sports being able 

to be played because of the weather/ground conditions in Ashburton. So it was great to have a perfect 

day in Christchurch, weather-wise, to play all the outdoor sports. 

Congratulations to all participating teams and special thanks to our staff who are either Coaches/ 

Managers/Teachers in Charge, our outside coaches and managers, and our staff and student officials. 

Thank you also to Darion (ASH Sports Co-ordinator) for her fantastic organisation her end for the

Showquest 

Showquest was held on the 20th and 21st of May 

in the Christchurch Town Hall. Burnside High 

School took two teams to compete against a 

number of other schools in a showcase of dance, 

drama, music and art. 

The junior team were lucky enough to win 1st place 

and a number of other awards including lighting, 

costume, drama, props and video wall. The Tikanga 

Award is given to the school who has the best 

team spirit and attitude towards the staff and other 

teams throughout the day so winning this was 

definitely a highlight. 

The theme was about the loss of arts and we 

basically wanted to ask the audience, “What are 

we, who are we without The Arts?” and “What will 

you do to save the arts?” The arts are a crucial part 

of our sense of self and are especially important to 

everyone competing so we wanted to highlight this 

through our performance.

Volunteers patrol the streets 

of Hornby for 25 years 

A CELEBRATION has 

been held to mark the 25th 

anniversary of the Hornby 

Community Patrol. 

More than 120 past and 

present patrollers from Hornby 

and other parts of the city 

gathered for the milestone which 

is shared by four community 

patrols. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Board member 

Aaron Campbell 

told the 

patrollers they 

are a “splendid

example of 

voluntarism in 

practice.” 

It was held at 

The Atrium in Hagley Park and 

included representatives from 

the Sumner, Christchurch South 

and North patrols. 

The Community Patrols of 

New Zealand trust board was 

represented by chairman Chris 

Lawton, treasurer Robert Fowler 

and national support manager 

Cheryl Watson. 

The event was also attended by 

police acting area commander 

Superintendent Mike

patron Greater Christchurch 

KEEPING WATCH: More than 120 patrollers met to mark 25 

years of community patrolling. 

Regeneration Minister Megan 

Woods. It was hosted by Ken 

Bye, of the Christchurch South 

Patrol, and started with a waiata 

from the Hornby-based Actus 

group. 

A surprise presentation of the 

CPNZ gold shield for services to 

community patrols was made 

to Hornby patrol secretary Ann 

Smith. 

Mrs Smith is also the regional 

co-ordinator for all Canterbury 

patrols. 

She has had input into many 

of the policies formulated by 

CPNZ. 

Also acknowledged was Helen 

Todd, who has worked on a 

special project over the last three 

years to help integrate young 

people who want to join the 

police onto patrols. 

After the official speeches had 

finished a large cake was cut by 

the leaders of the four patrols.

Pool hours trial gets boost 


A TRIAL to extend the opening 

hours at Halswell’s summer pool 

has received a $15,000 boost. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 


has decided to increase its 

funding for extending the pool 

hours from $35,000 to $50,000. 

Four options for extending the 

pool hours were 

presented to the 

board by city 

council staff at 

its meeting on 

Wednesday. 

The pool 

usually opens 

Debbie Mora 

from mid- 

November 

until March and the hours 

are usually 11.30am-7pm. 

But the board did not make a 

decision on what option it will 

trial. It instead decided city 

councillor Anne Galloway, board 

members Debbie Mora and Ross 

McFarlane would work with city 

council staff on the best option 

with $50,000. 

If the costs exceeded $50,000, 

additional funding would need 

to be sourced elsewhere. The 

extra $15,000 will come from the 

board’s 2018-19 discretionary 

response fund. 

The four options for 

extending the opening hours 

for the 19-week season were 

6am-7pm on weekdays and 

7am-7pm on weekends; 7am- 

7pm on weekdays and 9am- 

7pm on weekends; 6am-7pm 

Monday to Thursday, 6am-9pm 

Friday and 9am-9pm weekend; 

extending the hours for the 

school holiday period (eight 

weeks) from mid-December, 

6am-7pm Monday-Thursday, 

6am-9pm Friday, 9am to 9pm 

on weekends. 

The board originally allocated 

$35,000 towards the project. 

But investigations by city 

council staff showed in order for 

some of the options to go ahead, 

increased funding was required. 

Additional lifeguard and 

customer experience hours 

needed for option one, two, 

three and four needed $57,285, 

$41,895, $59,707 and $25,140 

respectively. 

At the meeting, city councillor 

Vicki Buck raised concerns 

about the large jumps in costs 

from the original $35,000. 

OPTIONS: 

The Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton 

Community 

Board has 

increased its 

funding for the 

trial to extend 

the Te Hapua: 

Halswell Summer 

Pool hours. 

But she said she was happy 

with the final decision as the 

board could not exceed $50,000. 

The decision was welcomed 

by Cr Galloway and Ms Mora – 

who had been advocating for the 

extended hours. 

Cr Galloway said she was 

certain the board could get 

everything it wanted for the 

money allocated. She said she was 

also certain the pool would open 

at 6am on weekdays during the 

trial. 

But community board 

chairman Mike Mora raised 

concerns at the meeting, saying 

until the new discretionary 

2019/2020 budget came through, 

the rest of the wards would be 

“out of pocket.” 

“I am just pointing out the fact 

Hornby hasn’t got a pool at all.” 

He said the board needs to 

be conscious of the money it is 

spending because it won’t know 

what the income from the trial is 

until it is finished. 

•From page 1 

Mr Mauger’s comments 

come after media reports last 

month on the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board’s bid to have 

a pile of shingle removed from 

a car park alongside the Avon 

River near the intersection of 

New Brighton and 

Wainoni Rds. 

The article 

prompted Mr Mauger 

to get his staff and a 

digger to clean most 

of it up. 

He posted a photo 

of the clean-up on 

his election Facebook 

page, which Cr 

Livingstone said was 

“electioneering.” Mr 

Mauger said it wasn’t. 

But the day after 

it was cleaned up, 

a Maugers Contracting truck 

appeared at the site with a 

sign saying “Vote Mauger For 

Burwood.” 

Interviewed again last week, 

Mr Mauger said a staff member 

had made the decision to take the 

truck to the location. 

“I just said to my guy on the 

truck, ‘you drive where ever you 

like’,” he said. 

When asked what he thought 

WESTERN NEWS 

Local 


Now 

Election campaigns 

start to heat up 


Cr Livingstone would think 

of this, Mr Mauger said he 

was sick of criticism (from Cr 

Livingstone) about the way 

he was running his election 

campaign, and the fact he lived 

outside of the Burwood Ward. 

Rather than criticising him, 

Cr Livingstone should 

“do door-knocking and 

just do commonsense 

electioneering,” he said. 

Cr Livingstone 

responded to those 

comments by saying 

door-knocking had 

played a much bigger 

role in his campaign 

than criticising Mr 

Mauger had. 

“Maybe he’s just been 

Glenn Livingstone caught up in a moment 

of passion, which is 

quite understandable 

because campaigns can be 

stressful at times,” 

Cr Livingstone said of Mr 

Mauger’s comments. 

“It’s not the approach I’d take 

myself. 

“I think there is a propensity in 

campaigns for candidates to try 

different things to attract votes 

and I really have to leave this one 

up to the community to judge for 

themselves.”

Go-ahead for new playground 

• By Kim Thomas 

OAKLANDS SCHOOL pupils 

are getting a new playground 

thanks to years of fundraising 

activities such as discos, sausage 

sizzles, and gala days. 

The school’s board of trustees 

outgoing chair Clive Keylard 

said the Parent Teacher Association 

and the board recently 

agreed to pay for a new $180,000 

playground for junior pupils. 

The board is contributing 60 

per cent of the cost from money 

saved over eight years in anticipation 

of the redevelopment. 

The PTA is paying the remainder. 

Mr Keylard said the playground 

will replace one removed 

for a new classroom and an 

existing one that is more than 

15-years-old. 

He said the school was currently 

being redeveloped. 

The Ministry of Education 

paid for buildings, including 

construction of three new buildings 

and refurbishment of existing 

1960s-era classroom blocks, 

but not for other facilities such 

as playgrounds and landscaping, 

he said. 

PTA president Michelle Blake 

said the group was thrilled to 

contribute a large portion of its 

savings from fundraising activities 

towards the playground. 

FUTURE: Oaklands School pupils are looking forward to 

getting a new playground. From left – Ethan Pietzner, 5, Ollie 

Braithwaite, 6, Jessie Braithwaite, 8, Esther Vincent, 7, and 

Greer Western, 7, play on the school’s old equipment. 

“We have saved all our money 

for the last four or five years in 

anticipation of the redevelopment 

happening. 

“We wanted to put our money 

towards something significant 

that would enhance the school 

environment and that students 

would enjoy. The playground 

definitely fits the bill,” Mrs Blake 

said. 

Mrs Blake said the group 

raised its contribution for 

the playground through 

annual community gala days, 

and regular sausage sizzles, 

discos, raffles, and selling used 

school uniforms. 

Any money raised over the 

next few years would fund items 

for the redevelopment not paid 

for by the ministry, she said. 

The redevelopment is expected 

to be complete by the end of 

2020. Oaklands School principal 

Margaret Trotter said pupils 

had a say in the design of the 

playground with school council 

members voting on the most 

important components to be 

included. The playground will be 

installed in term 4.

SAM YAU will run in

elections in a bid to become a

The property

shootings. 

“I’m from Malaysia which is

people from the Malaysian 

community in Christchurch 

were victims in the shooting,” he 

said. Three Malaysian Muslims 

were injured and one killed in 

the shootings.

councillors, which currently has 

seven representatives in the city 

council. 

Cr Galloway, who lives 

in Halswell, said the 

community deserved a local 

councillor. 

“I do think the people 

of Halswell appreciate 

having someone local,” she 

said. 

Cr Galloway felt she had 

been heavily engaged with 

the community in her time as 

councillor and vowed to continue 

to do so if re-elected.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD 

Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas and feedback as part of our first phase 

of consultation as we plan for our new school. 

As well as the online survey, feedback was gathered from Post-It Stations at various 

school events and from student House Groups and workshops. 

A Community Consultation Report is now with the design team to assist in developing 

the preliminary concept design for the new school. 

The key findings in the report shows our community would like a new school which: 

► Reflects Marian’s Roman Catholic Special Character, values, story and history 

► Is inclusive and supportive. For example, reflects and celebrates Māori, Asian and 

Pasifika cultures 

► Fosters Marian’s family environment and supports small class sizes 

► Has designated and comfortable spaces to pray, eat, prepare, teach, learn and be 

together 

► Is eco-friendly and sustainable 

► Has full-sized, modern facilities designed to be functional and welcoming 

► Has plenty of green, leafy space. 

The full report is available on the Marian College website. 

SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY 

This term, Marian students have filled paper bags with more than 200 

non-perishable food items for Christchurch families in need. 

During the July school holidays, Marian students will be working in the 

Stanmore Road St Vincent de Paul shop. Please call in with your preloved 

gently used clothing and household items and say hi. 

Marian College has a long tradition of service. Both students and staff 

members are actively involved and contribute positively to the wider 

community. All students complete at least six hours of meaningful 

service within the school and community, every year.

Join a 

walking 

group at 

Nga Puna Wai 

ONE OF the city’s walking 

groups is providing an 

opportunity to walk laps of 

the Nga Puna Wai sporting 

facility. 

Sport Canterbury’s team 

of physical health advisers is 

leading the weekly Have-a- 

Go Wigram walking group 

with an outlook to continue 

walks through winter. 

The walks are held every 

Monday at 10.30am at the 

Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub. 

The walks consist of up to 

4km on flat terrain as part of 

the eco trail surrounding the 

facility. 

The walking loop does 

not enter the sports hub or 

include walking on the track 

itself. 

The walks suit all ages and 

levels of ability, and participants 

are encouraged to 

gather in the central 

hub afterwards for tea, coffee 

and a chance to see the city’s 

sporting facility from a different 

perspective. 

Participants are advised to 

meet at the Nga Puna Wai car 

park before the walk. 

Home needed for March 15 hearts 


THE SEARCH is on to find a 

home for thousands of crafted 

hearts sent to the city following 

the March 15 mosque attacks. 

More than 5000 hearts, along 

with messages of support, 

flooded in from around the 

world after Halswell’s Barkers 

Wool And Haberdashery 

manager Jacquie Jewell 

established the initiative Muslim 

Hearts of Christchurch. 

The goal was to collect as many 

crafted hearts as possible, made 

from knitted, croquet, origami, 

mosaic and vintage materials, 

to gift to those affected by the 

attacks. 

Mrs Jewell has now delivered 

3000 hearts, along with copies 

of messages, to the Al Noor 

Mosque, Linwood Islamic 

Centre, police and St John. But 

she has about 2000 left which she 

is hoping to publicly display. 

Initially, Mrs Jewell asked for 

permission from the city council 

to hang the remaining hearts on 

a designated tree in the Botanic 

Gardens. 

But city council Botanic 

Gardens and garden parks 

director Wolfgang Bopp said it 

wanted to maintain one location 

(at the Rolleston Ave tribute wall) 

where there was ample space to 

lay, stand or hang a tribute. 

After bringing the matter to 

the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board, Mrs Jewell is 

now seeking permission to have 

the hearts displayed in a city 

council facility. 

She is looking to place them on 

an artificial tree either in the city 

council chambers, at the Arts 

Centre or the Tūranga library.

WORLDWIDE: Jacquie Jewell 

has had more than 5000 

crafted hearts sent from all 

over the world after creating 

an initiative aiming to show 

love for those affected by the 

terror attacks. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Mr Bopp said city council 

staff are working to come up 

with options for the long-term 

display of the hearts, which may 

or may not include exhibition 

opportunities in city council 

facilities. 

Mrs Jewell said while she is 

disappointed the city council will 

not allow there to be a designated 

tree placed in the Botanic 

Gardens, she is more excited 

about the second option. 

“They wouldn’t last as long if 

they were outside . . . I am excited 

to think they are going to be 

inside,” Mrs Jewell said. 

She said the display will give 

the hearts longevity for all the 

city to see. 

Mrs Jewell said presenting 

the crafted hearts with her two 

daughters to the two mosques 

was a “moving experience”. 

“To walk into them (the 

mosques), to know what 

happened there, I actually felt 

numb . . . it was something I will 

never forget,” she said.

Hung hits the treble at 

Canterbury Golf awards 

WESTERN NEWS 

SPORT 

RUSSLEY GOLFER Juliana 

Hung took the spoils at the 

Canterbury Golf awards, 

winning the Liz Douglas Trophy, 

female golfer of the year and 

junior female golfer of the year 

awards. 

The Burnside High School 

student was unable to attend the 

awards at the Christchurch 

Golf Club as she was competing 

at the Taiwan Amateur 

Championship, where she 

finished seventh. 

It was the latest accolade 

for Hung, who was named 

outstanding young sportswoman 

of the year at the Canterbury 

Sports Awards in March. She 

followed in the footsteps of 

former Burnside student Amelia 

Garvey who won the award last 

year. 

Hung, 17, played a key role 

in the Canterbury women’s 

second place finish at the Toro 

Interprovincial championship 

at Waitikiri in December, where 

she played as the team’s No 1. 

Last year she represented New 

Zealand at the Youth Olympic 

Games in Argentina, and also 

competed at the home of golf, 

St Andrews, Scotland, when she 

was selected to play in the Junior 

Open Championship. 

The Liz Douglas Trophy is 

awarded to the player with the 

lowest stroke average over the 

season. 

Meanwhile, Rangiora junior 

golfer Kazuma Kobori was 

equally dominant at the awards, 

winning the Vardon Trophy 

(lowest stroke average), junior 

male golfer of the year and male 

golfer of the year awards. 

Services awards were presented 

to Canterbury women’s rep 

Catherine Bell (Christchurch), 

Canterbury masters rep Andrew 

Dufton (Russley), Kate Turner 

(Waimairi Beach) for her service 

as a Canterbury senior, masters 

rep and her involvement in rep 

management, and Mel Brew and

VILLA MARIA College took 

out round one of the SuperNet 

school netball competition by 

the tightest of margins after a 

36-30 win over St Margaret’s 

College last week. 

Both teams finished the 

round-robin on 24 points. 

However, Villa retained the 

Westpac Trust plate – awarded 

to the winner of the round 

robin – after finishing with a 

better goal differential than St 

Margaret’s. 

Coming into the final roundrobin 

match Villa trailed St 

Margaret’s by four competition 

points. However, they had a goal 

differential of 70, while St Margaret’s 

had a differential of 67. 

This meant any kind of victory 

would see them reclaim the title. 

MORE THAN 1000 young 

footballers across 74 teams will 

kick off the fourth edition of the 

Christchurch International Cup 

on Saturday at the state-of-theart 

football centre in Yaldhurst. 

The presence of A-League 

glamour club Sydney FC 

underlines how far the event has 

come in only three years. 

Tournament director Lew 

Gordon said the skill levels 

of the participating teams 

and the matches have grown 

incrementally with each 

tournament. It will be held at the 

Christchurch Football Centre. 

“And with academy teams 

from Sydney FC and Onehunga 

with their Wellington Phoenix 

connection, as well as other 

Other final round matches saw 

Christchurch Girls’ High School 

defeat St Andrew’s College 39- 

34. Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

defeat Ashburton College 35-34, 

while Rangiora High School 

defeated Cashmere High School 

34-24. 

This Wednesday, Cashmere 

will play SuperNet reserve 

round-robin winners Riccarton 

High School in a promotion 

relegation match. 

SuperNet post section play 

begins on July 24 with semi-final 

and finals on August 14 and 21. 

Final standings – Villa Maria 

24pts, 1; St Margaret’s 24pts, 

2; CGHS 20pts, 3; St Andrew’s 

18pts, 4; Rangiora HS 12pts, 5; 

Rangi Ruru 10pts, 6; Ashburton 

8pts, 7; Cashmere HS 1pts, 8. 

Football cup kicks off in Yaldhurst 

high-profile clubs in the draw, 

we may see several future All 

Whites in action,” said Gordon. 

The size of the tournament 

has increased to a point where 

different age groups will now 

compete across 10 days, with the 

under-14 teams playing from 

Saturday to Monday, the under- 

13s from July 9-11, and the 

under-12 and under-10s on July 

13-15. Gordon said the players 

love coming to Christchurch 

because they get a small taste 

of what it is like on the big stage. 

“We try to run every game like it 

is a FIFA event, with proper match 

officials, coming onto the pitch 

with music, and just making sure 

all the details feel professional, and 

the players love it,” he said.

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

The facts about 

Home Ventilation 

Balanced Pressure 

vs Positive Pressure 

Are you struggling with the heat of 

Summer or wanting to get organised for 

Winter? With the ever changing weather 

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility 

of being able to heat and cool which is an 

advantage no other appliance can offer. This 

represents great value for your investment 

as you can use it all year round. The team 

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you 

cool this Summer either at home or work. 

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services 

all the leading brands including Panasonic, 

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means 

our team can show you which system and 

brand will best suit your needs. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the 1st of 

July deadline. Inadequate heating and 

ventilation can lead to mould growth and 

dampness in your property, leading to 

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy 

living environment. Providing a fixed 

heater with a higher heat output and lower 

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable 

your tenants to heat the area effectively. 

It will also discourage them from using 

unflued gas heaters which can make a 

house damp and mouldy. 

It is important to remember, when 

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover the installation 

and consumers could be responsible for 

any repair or damage caused to the system 

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s 

five-star installation guarantee ensures 

correct installation, and a demonstration 

so customers have an understanding on 

how it will best meet their needs. 

For a free in home consultation, call 

Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our 

showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd, 

Waltham, Christchurch. 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need 

to be suitably ventilated, either with 

opening windows or forced ventilation. 

Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this 

provision is to safeguard people from 

illness or loss of amenity due to lack of 

fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced, 

or mechanical, ventilation over opening 

windows, including warmth, security, 

reduction of outside noises and reduction 

of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in 

from outside via the roof space and force 

the stale air out through gaps around 

windows and doors. The incoming air 

from these systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm in winter or 

cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced 

pressure’ system. It extracts air from the 

house and at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air pass through 

a heat exchanger, which warms incoming 

air in winter and cools in summer if air 

conditioning is being used. This means that 

up to 80% of the energy which would be 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating 

or cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure 

ventilation systems have been considerably 

more expensive than traditional 

positive pressure systems. However, 

with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a 

HEX390 balanced pressure system 

can be installed for a similar price as 

a traditional positive pressure system.

The tree of LIFE 

New research on Gingko 

Biloba excites researchers! 

For decades scientists believed brain 

damage with age, after a stroke or injury 

was irreversible and brain neurons could 

not be repaired. In more recent times, 

new research has shown that neurons 

can grow back with the right conditions 

and that a special extract of Gingko 

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has 

been clinically found to assist in this. 

The implications for stroke recovery are 

obvious, but researchers also know many 

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes” 

that over a period of time slowly 

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN 

is prescribed worldwide as a natural 

supportive agent for a healthy brain and 

cognitive function. It supports healthy 

mental performance, concentration, focus, 

alertness, motor function and to help 

with many conditions including tinnitus 

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo 

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves 

micro-circulation and helps the blood 

flow reach those critical places it needs to 

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes 

the red blood cells more pliable and 

capillary walls more flexible. 

TEBONIN is one of the most widely 

studied and researched herbal products in 

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba 

extract manufactured via a patented 

multi-step extraction process. Each small 

tablet contains a highly concentrated 

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic 

clinical dose without having to take a large 

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba 

products on the market, and tested by a 

major medical journal, only TEBONIN 

passed all five of the test requirements. 

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements 

and the rest didn’t pass more than three 

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is 

the only Gingko biloba extract shown 

to activated all areas of the brain and is 

considered the gold standard in Gingko. 

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions 

of consumers worldwide for over 30 

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets 

consumed each day. 

TEBONIN and further information

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy in New Brighton. PH: 388-5757.

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and 

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. 

Scientists at Rush University Medical 

Center found those most deficient 

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest 

brain mass and the lowest scores on 

tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration and brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains and score 

higher on cognitive tests than those with 

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark 

study showed that B12 supplementation 

slows the accelerated rate of brain 

shrinkage and declining cognitive function. 

B12 is essential for energy production, cell 

health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles, 

nerve health and repair, and prevention 

of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular 

risk factor that is known to cause damage 

and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also 

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard 

researchers found 

a 34% decrease 

risk of vision 

loss in a study 

of participants 

aged 40+ who 

supplemented with 

B12. Another study 

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in 

subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb 

it declining with age as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication and other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual 

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and 

thru bypassing the digestive tract have 

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in 

the body.

Slow cooked, healthy butter chicken 


Making healthy meals 

packed with flavour is 

easy in a slow cooker, 

says chef and food writer 

Ross Dobson 

In his latest recipe book, The 

Healthy Slow Cooker, Dobson 

shows it doesn’t take too much 

effort to make food in a slow 

cooker that is not only healthy 

but can also be gluten-free, 

vegan or vegetarian. He uses 

inspiration from Asia, India and 

the Middle East, with flavours, 

ingredients and spices that work 

well in a slow cooker. 

Light butter chicken 

(serves four, gluten-free) 

Prep time 20min 

Cooking time 4.5 hours 

Ingredients 

750g chicken thigh fillets 

1 brown onion, chopped 

3cm piece ginger, chopped 

2 cloves garlic, chopped 

1 large green chilli, seeded and 

chopped 

1 Tbsp olive oil 

1 Tbsp butter 

½ tsp chilli powder 

1 Tbsp ground cumin 

1 Tbsp ground coriander 

1 Tbsp garam masala 

1 Tbsp sweet paprika 

5 green cardamom pods, lightly 

crushed 

2 Tbsp tomato paste 

(concentrated pure) 

2 tsp chicken stock 

powder 

400g can crushed tomatoes 

1 Tbsp cornflour 

1 cup (260g) natural yoghurt 

To serve 

Brown basmati rice 

Handful roughly chopped 

coriander (cilantro) 

Lemon wedges 

Directions 

Heat your slow cooker to high. 

Trim the fat from the chicken 

thighs and discard. Cut each 

thigh in half, or into thirds 

if large, bearing in mind that 

they will shrink as they cook. 

Refrigerate until needed. 

Put the onion, ginger, garlic 

and chilli into a food processor 

and process until you have a 

chunky paste. 

Heat the oil in a large frying 

pan over medium heat. Add the 

paste and cook for 8-10min, 

until the liquid from the onion 

has evaporated and the paste 

looks dry. Stir through the butter 

and cook for a minute until the 

butter has melted. 

Stir in the chilli powder, 

cumin, coriander, garam masala, 

paprika and cardamom pods. 

Add two tablespoons cold water 

and stir to incorporate any stuckon 

bits. 

Stir in the tomato paste and 

stock powder, then scrape the 

contents of the frying pan into 

the bowl of the slow cooker. 

Add the crushed tomatoes, 

cornflour, yoghurt and chicken. 

Give everything a good stir, 

nudging the chicken into the 

sauce, then cover and cook for 

two hours. 

Give it a stir, then quickly 

cover again to avoid losing too 

much heat. Cook for a further 

two hours, until the chicken 

is very tender and the sauce is 

thick. Serve the butter chicken 

on brown basmati rice, garnished 

with chopped coriander and 

lemon wedges on the side.

REAL ESTATE 


WESTERN NEWS 

A new house is just the beginning.... 

52 McCormacks Bay Road, Mt Pleasant 

Auction: Thursday 18 July 2019 Unless Sold Prior 

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 2 car-garage | Listing Number: SM0205 

Built in 2015, this impressive, architecturally 

designed home has been immaculately finished 

and created to ensure minimal maintenance 

and easy living; allowing you to make the most 

of life, creating new adventures and memories! 

Solidly constructed by Benchmark Homes 

with quality in mind, you will be supremely 

cosy here even in the coldest months thanks 

to the double glazing, heat-pumps and extra 

heavy-duty insulation. Extra large windows 

provide dramatic and uninterrupted blue water 

views of the McCormacks Bay Estuary and 

beyond, allowing an abundance of natural light 

and warmth to flood in. 

Tastefully decorated throughout, with 

superior fixtures and fittings, there are many 

extra touches here that make this home so 

special and economical to maintain, including 

solar water heating and LED lighting. Whether 

you are a smaller family, a professional 

couple or perhaps looking to downsize from 

a larger family home, you will appreciate the 

accommodation on offer here. Two double 

bedrooms and a full bathroom on the lower 

level complement the Master Bedroom with 

luxury ensuite and open plan living on the 

upper level. 

The section is a perfect example of good things 

coming in small packages. The 291sqm site is 

attractively planted and offers a variety of spots 

for you to relax in; enjoy your morning coffee 

on the sheltered balcony or take afternoon tea 

with your friends and family on the sunny deck 

below. Private and fully fenced, this is a very 

practical property, with an electric gate opening 

to your double internal access garage. 

Our vendor has loved their time here, with 

so much on offer in the vicinity; the coastal 

pathway to Sumner provides easy access to 

beaches and the village vibe, the Mt Pleasant 

farmers market and community centre is the 

place to go for your organic veggies or morning 

yoga classes, and the Port Hills and Estuary are 

the perfect playground for those who love an 

active lifestyle! However our realistic owner is 

committed to moving on and has made their 

instructions clear - they would love to see this 

immaculate home sold on or before auction 

day. Don’t risk missing out, come and see for 

yourself or call for more details, this may be 

more affordable than you might think! 

Call for open home details or to arrange 

a private viewing – contact Michelle Ward

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted

Myth # 1 

No one reads print 

anymore right? 

Wrong! Over 2.7 million Kiwis read the newspaper 

every week. 

If you’re going to believe everything you read, make 

sure you’re reading a newspaper.
