‘sick and<br />
tired’ of<br />
criticism<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
WELL-KNOWN businessman<br />
Phil Mauger is sick and tired of<br />
hearing about where he lives as<br />
his campaign to become a city<br />
councillor heats up.<br />
Mr Mauger, who is standing in<br />
the Burwood Ward, has fired a<br />
tirade at sitting councillor Glenn<br />
Livngstone in an<br />
increasingly testy<br />
campaign.<br />
Mr Mauger,<br />
head of Maugers<br />
Contracting<br />
Ltd, lives in<br />
Avonhead, but<br />
grew up in the<br />
eastern suburbs.<br />
Cr Livingstone<br />
has questioned Phil Mauger<br />
the impact Mr<br />
Mauger could have living outside<br />
of Burwood if he was elected. Mr<br />
Mauger said this would not affect<br />
the job he would do.<br />
“Glenn’s about to get a rocket<br />
right up his a*** very soon in the<br />
next couple of days, because I am<br />
sick and tired of hearing about the<br />
fact that I don’t live in the ward,”<br />
said Mr Mauger.<br />

Stolen plates used in petrol thefts<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THIEVES ARE fitting their cars<br />
with stolen number plates to<br />
steal petrol.<br />
But police don’t appear to be<br />
following up on the issue.<br />
THe Hornby Community<br />
Patrol receives weekly statistics<br />
which shows on average about<br />
five to 10 number plates are<br />
stolen across the city each week.<br />
“I noticed like last week there<br />
were nine sets of number plates<br />
stolen … I feel nobody talks<br />
about it,” patrol chairman Ken<br />
Chamberlain said.<br />
It is believed number plates<br />
are stolen to disguise vehicles<br />
when crimes are committed –<br />
mainly for petrol drive-offs and<br />
burglaries.<br />
Superintendent Lane Todd<br />
said number plates are routinely<br />
stolen for petrol drive-offs.<br />
Drive-off incidents escalate<br />
when fuel prices rise.<br />
He said police take reports but<br />
it does have to prioritise with<br />
more serious offending.<br />
“If there is a vehicle identified<br />
and has stolen registration<br />
plates there are limited inquiries<br />
we can do unless we see good<br />
footage of the offending person<br />
on the forecourt,” he said.<br />
Fuel stations say police leave<br />
“a lot to be desired” when it<br />
comes to following up on<br />
CHANGE: The Hornby Community Patrol is planning a<br />
fundraiser so that vehicles visiting BP 2go Halswell can be<br />
fitted with anti-theft number plate screws.<br />
petrol drive-offs.<br />
BP 2go Halswell site manager<br />
Josh Nelson said it hasn’t been<br />
happy with the police response<br />
for a long time.<br />
He said each incident<br />
of stolen fuel is reported<br />
to police, a letter is sent to<br />
the owner of the plate and<br />
the footage is downloaded<br />
and saved.<br />
Mr Nelson said the company<br />
has an agreement<br />
with the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency which<br />
will provide registration details<br />
and the address of the plate’s<br />
owner.<br />
“Our hope is if we keep reporting<br />
them, they (police) realise it is a<br />
problem. When they have the<br />
resources they will throw more at<br />
it,” Mr Nelson said.<br />
It has had 20<br />
incidents of stolen fuel<br />
in the past two months<br />
– four of the recorded<br />
incidents involved false<br />
number plates.<br />
It is why the Hornby<br />
Community Patrol<br />
runs fundraisers at<br />
BP 2go Halswell which<br />
involves refitting number plates<br />
with “anti-theft” screws.<br />
Rob Jack, who owns four<br />
Mike Mora<br />
Mobil stations across the city,<br />
including Mobil Creyke Rd in<br />
Ilam said: “If we leave it in the<br />
hands of the police, not much<br />
gets done.”<br />
He said he is not encouraged<br />
to call police every time fuel is<br />
stolen because it doesn’t often<br />
get results, which is why the<br />
company follows up itself.<br />
“THat involves me going to<br />
houses, knocking on doors,<br />
letters, all that kind of stuff<br />
which can be a little sketchy at<br />
times but it is the only way it can<br />
be done,” he said.<br />
Mobil Creyke Rd has had<br />
about 10 petrol drive-offs since<br />
the beginning of the year.<br />
In May, Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
chairman Mike Mora had<br />
his number plate stolen in<br />
broad daylight while he was<br />
at a meeting at the Te Hāpua:<br />
Halswell Centre.<br />
Mr Mora reported the incident<br />
to police but has not heard back.<br />
“It is not the end of the world,<br />
it is just frustrating. People need<br />
to be aware that they need to be<br />
very protective of their vehicle<br />
number plates,” he said.<br />

To all of you who have had your<br />
trees trimmed before they became<br />
a problem, thank you for keeping all<br />
the families in your community warm,<br />
happy, healthy and connected.<br />
You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your<br />
neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge<br />
their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what<br />
you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here<br />
at Orion, we just want to say thank you.<br />

We’re not exaggerating.<br />
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are<br />
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact<br />
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from<br />
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from<br />
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are<br />
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.<br />
How close is too close?<br />
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,<br />
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk<br />
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.<br />
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees<br />
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from<br />
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.<br />
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and<br />
preferably the notice zone.<br />
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the<br />
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need<br />
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,<br />
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to<br />
disease or adverse weather events.<br />
Where do I start?<br />
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around<br />
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree<br />
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange<br />
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however<br />
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.<br />
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four<br />
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from<br />
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any<br />
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.<br />
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?<br />
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree<br />
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim<br />
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you<br />
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,<br />
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every<br />
day or part day during which the offence continues.<br />
More info can be found on our website and if<br />
you have any questions or notice any trees<br />
touching power lines in your area, please call<br />
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.<br />

Review on bus use welcomed<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
COMMUNITY organisations<br />
pushing for youths to use public<br />
transport in the western suburbs<br />
have welcomed a review of how<br />
buses operate.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
is planning to analyse where<br />
buses go, their frequency and<br />
operating hours. But a time<br />
line is yet to be made available,<br />
with ECan<br />
currently<br />
reviewing the<br />
Waimakariri<br />
district before<br />
moving to<br />
Selwyn and<br />
the city.<br />
The<br />
Anne Galloway review was<br />
prompted by<br />
feedback on the Regional Public<br />
Transport Plan.<br />
It has been applauded after<br />
concerns over youths waiting<br />
for buses late at night and<br />
frustrations around catching<br />
buses during peak times were<br />
raised at a recent cafe catch-up<br />
meeting, organised by city<br />
councillor Anne Galloway.<br />
CDN Trust Hornby<br />
community youth worker James<br />
Harris, who raised the issues,<br />
said he was “stoked” about the<br />
PROBLEM: Buses running behind schedule are discouraging<br />
youth from using public transport. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
review. “There are some young<br />
people who get concerned when<br />
they are walking about . . . if<br />
they are having to walk through<br />
parks and things in Hornby. The<br />
tunnel (at Kyle Park) there is<br />
well-known for not being safe at<br />
night,” he said.<br />
But Mr Harris said there are<br />
even bigger frustrations for<br />
students trying to catch the bus<br />
to and from school during peak<br />
times.<br />
He said students are having to<br />
take transfers when travelling to<br />
the other side of the city.<br />
Halswell Residents’<br />
Association secretary David<br />
Hawke and Cr Galloway are<br />
pleased the review will go ahead.<br />
Mr Hawke said the review will<br />
hopefully prompt ECan to make<br />
buses more frequent at peak<br />
times.<br />
The association previously<br />
made a submission to the city<br />
council’s Annual Plan on buses<br />
running behind schedule at<br />
peak times on Halswell and<br />
Lincoln Rds.<br />
Cr Galloway said after talking<br />
to parents of young children two<br />
issues have been highlighted.<br />
“Firstly, there are issues of<br />
standing out in the rain and<br />
the cold waiting for the bus . . .<br />
security is another thing from<br />
talking to parents who won’t let<br />
their children stand in the dark,”<br />
she said.<br />
Cr Galloway is looking<br />
to work with The Huritini<br />
Student Council (a council<br />
made up of Halswell primary<br />
schools) to make a presentation<br />
to the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
on the issue.<br />
Cr Galloway’s other<br />
concerns are the buses are too<br />
expensive for students to use<br />
and she would like to see a<br />
family fare or one fare that gets<br />
students to and from school in<br />
a day.<br />
The board has previously<br />
recommended ECan extend the<br />
student rate through to people<br />
aged 19-20 – but this has not<br />
happened.<br />
ECan’s fares are discounted<br />
for youths up to the age of 18.<br />
Each year the city council<br />
reviews bus stops but advises<br />
residents to get in touch with it<br />
if they are concerned about any<br />
bus stops in particular.<br />

Kirk Rd stop<br />
upgrade gets<br />
green light<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
AN EXISTING bus stop outside<br />
the Templeton Medical Centre<br />
on Kirk Rd will be upgraded to<br />
provide easier access for people<br />
getting on and off the Yellow<br />
Line.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
approved the changes last week.<br />
The city council will paint<br />
the stop, install bridge blocks to<br />
improve access to the front and<br />
rear doors of the bus, and put in a<br />
new seat.<br />
The improvements are needed<br />
due to the deep-dish drain<br />
channel next to the stop, which<br />
has been causing bus drivers to<br />
stop at the nearest driveway to<br />
provide a safe environment for<br />
passengers moving between the<br />
platform and the bus. They often<br />
have to park over the recently<br />
developed medical centre’s<br />
driveway.<br />
Currently, the stop is<br />
unmarked, but has a bus stop<br />
sign attached to a utility pole<br />
beside the medical centre<br />
driveway. A number of elderly<br />
residents raised the issue last year<br />
with city councillor Jimmy Chen.<br />

Burnside High vs Ashburton College Winter<br />
Sports Exchange<br />
The Annual sports exchange was held on Tuesday 18 June.<br />
Overall 7 wins each, but the deciding vote was the Win by Default to Burnside in Senior A Netball. So<br />
the final score was 8-7 to Burnside.<br />
All the teams represented their respective schools with pride and passion, and once again it was<br />
fiercely contested. Ashburton College won the exchange last year 7-5, with limited sports being able<br />
to be played because of the weather/ground conditions in Ashburton. So it was great to have a perfect<br />
day in Christchurch, weather-wise, to play all the outdoor sports.<br />
Congratulations to all participating teams and special thanks to our staff who are either Coaches/<br />
Managers/Teachers in Charge, our outside coaches and managers, and our staff and student officials.<br />
Thank you also to Darion (ASH Sports Co-ordinator) for her fantastic organisation her end for the<br />
exchange and her team of staff from Ashburton College who travelled up<br />

Showquest<br />
Showquest was held on the 20th and 21st of May<br />
in the Christchurch Town Hall. Burnside High<br />
School took two teams to compete against a<br />
number of other schools in a showcase of dance,<br />
drama, music and art.<br />
The junior team were lucky enough to win 1st place<br />
and a number of other awards including lighting,<br />
costume, drama, props and video wall. The Tikanga<br />
Award is given to the school who has the best<br />
team spirit and attitude towards the staff and other<br />
teams throughout the day so winning this was<br />
definitely a highlight.<br />
The theme was about the loss of arts and we<br />
basically wanted to ask the audience, “What are<br />
we, who are we without The Arts?” and “What will<br />
you do to save the arts?” The arts are a crucial part<br />
of our sense of self and are especially important to<br />
everyone competing so we wanted to highlight this<br />
through our performance.<br />

Pool hours trial gets boost<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A TRIAL to extend the opening<br />
hours at Halswell’s summer pool<br />
has received a $15,000 boost.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
has decided to increase its<br />
funding for extending the pool<br />
hours from $35,000 to $50,000.<br />
Four options for extending the<br />
pool hours were<br />
presented to the<br />
board by city<br />
council staff at<br />
its meeting on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
The pool<br />
usually opens<br />
Debbie Mora<br />
from mid-<br />
November<br />
until March and the hours<br />
are usually 11.30am-7pm.<br />
But the board did not make a<br />
decision on what option it will<br />
trial. It instead decided city<br />
councillor Anne Galloway, board<br />
members Debbie Mora and Ross<br />
McFarlane would work with city<br />
council staff on the best option<br />
with $50,000.<br />
If the costs exceeded $50,000,<br />
additional funding would need<br />
to be sourced elsewhere. The<br />
extra $15,000 will come from the<br />
board’s 2018-19 discretionary<br />
response fund.<br />
The four options for<br />
extending the opening hours<br />
for the 19-week season were<br />
6am-7pm on weekdays and<br />
7am-7pm on weekends; 7am-<br />
7pm on weekdays and 9am-<br />
7pm on weekends; 6am-7pm<br />
Monday to Thursday, 6am-9pm<br />
Friday and 9am-9pm weekend;<br />
extending the hours for the<br />
school holiday period (eight<br />
weeks) from mid-December,<br />
6am-7pm Monday-Thursday,<br />
6am-9pm Friday, 9am to 9pm<br />
on weekends.<br />
The board originally allocated<br />
$35,000 towards the project.<br />
But investigations by city<br />
council staff showed in order for<br />
some of the options to go ahead,<br />
increased funding was required.<br />
Additional lifeguard and<br />
customer experience hours<br />
needed for option one, two,<br />
three and four needed $57,285,<br />
$41,895, $59,707 and $25,140<br />
respectively.<br />
At the meeting, city councillor<br />
Vicki Buck raised concerns<br />
about the large jumps in costs<br />
from the original $35,000.<br />
OPTIONS:<br />
The Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community<br />
Board has<br />
increased its<br />
funding for the<br />
trial to extend<br />
the Te Hapua:<br />
Halswell Summer<br />
Pool hours.<br />
But she said she was happy<br />
with the final decision as the<br />
board could not exceed $50,000.<br />
The decision was welcomed<br />
by Cr Galloway and Ms Mora –<br />
who had been advocating for the<br />
extended hours.<br />
Cr Galloway said she was<br />
certain the board could get<br />
everything it wanted for the<br />
money allocated. She said she was<br />
also certain the pool would open<br />
at 6am on weekdays during the<br />
trial.<br />
But community board<br />
chairman Mike Mora raised<br />
concerns at the meeting, saying<br />
until the new discretionary<br />
<strong>2019</strong>/2<strong>02</strong>0 budget came through,<br />
the rest of the wards would be<br />
“out of pocket.”<br />
“I am just pointing out the fact<br />
Hornby hasn’t got a pool at all.”<br />
He said the board needs to<br />
be conscious of the money it is<br />
spending because it won’t know<br />
what the income from the trial is<br />
until it is finished.<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr Mauger’s comments<br />
come after media reports last<br />
month on the Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board’s bid to have<br />
a pile of shingle removed from<br />
a car park alongside the Avon<br />
River near the intersection of<br />
New Brighton and<br />
Wainoni Rds.<br />
The article<br />
prompted Mr Mauger<br />
to get his staff and a<br />
digger to clean most<br />
of it up.<br />
He posted a photo<br />
of the clean-up on<br />
his election Facebook<br />
page, which Cr<br />
Livingstone said was<br />
“electioneering.” Mr<br />
Mauger said it wasn’t.<br />
But the day after<br />
it was cleaned up,<br />
a Maugers Contracting truck<br />
appeared at the site with a<br />
sign saying “Vote Mauger For<br />
Burwood.”<br />
Interviewed again last week,<br />
Mr Mauger said a staff member<br />
had made the decision to take the<br />
truck to the location.<br />
“I just said to my guy on the<br />
truck, ‘you drive where ever you<br />
like’,” he said.<br />
When asked what he thought<br />

Cr Livingstone would think<br />
of this, Mr Mauger said he<br />
was sick of criticism (from Cr<br />
Livingstone) about the way<br />
he was running his election<br />
campaign, and the fact he lived<br />
outside of the Burwood Ward.<br />
Rather than criticising him,<br />
Cr Livingstone should<br />
“do door-knocking and<br />
just do commonsense<br />
electioneering,” he said.<br />
Cr Livingstone<br />
responded to those<br />
comments by saying<br />
door-knocking had<br />
played a much bigger<br />
role in his campaign<br />
than criticising Mr<br />
Mauger had.<br />
“Maybe he’s just been<br />
Glenn Livingstone caught up in a moment<br />
of passion, which is<br />
quite understandable<br />
because campaigns can be<br />
stressful at times,”<br />
Cr Livingstone said of Mr<br />
Mauger’s comments.<br />
“It’s not the approach I’d take<br />
myself.<br />
“I think there is a propensity in<br />
campaigns for candidates to try<br />
different things to attract votes<br />
and I really have to leave this one<br />
up to the community to judge for<br />
themselves.”

Go-ahead for new playground<br />
• By Kim Thomas<br />
OAKLANDS SCHOOL pupils<br />
are getting a new playground<br />
thanks to years of fundraising<br />
activities such as discos, sausage<br />
sizzles, and gala days.<br />
The school’s board of trustees<br />
outgoing chair Clive Keylard<br />
said the Parent Teacher Association<br />
and the board recently<br />
agreed to pay for a new $180,000<br />
playground for junior pupils.<br />
The board is contributing 60<br />
per cent of the cost from money<br />
saved over eight years in anticipation<br />
of the redevelopment.<br />
The PTA is paying the remainder.<br />
Mr Keylard said the playground<br />
will replace one removed<br />
for a new classroom and an<br />
existing one that is more than<br />
15-years-old.<br />
He said the school was currently<br />
being redeveloped.<br />
The Ministry of Education<br />
paid for buildings, including<br />
construction of three new buildings<br />
and refurbishment of existing<br />
1960s-era classroom blocks,<br />
but not for other facilities such<br />
as playgrounds and landscaping,<br />
he said.<br />
PTA president Michelle Blake<br />
said the group was thrilled to<br />
contribute a large portion of its<br />
savings from fundraising activities<br />
towards the playground.<br />
FUTURE: Oaklands School pupils are looking forward to<br />
getting a new playground. From left – Ethan Pietzner, 5, Ollie<br />
Braithwaite, 6, Jessie Braithwaite, 8, Esther Vincent, 7, and<br />
Greer <strong>Western</strong>, 7, play on the school’s old equipment.<br />
“We have saved all our money<br />
for the last four or five years in<br />
anticipation of the redevelopment<br />
happening.<br />
“We wanted to put our money<br />
towards something significant<br />
that would enhance the school<br />
environment and that students<br />
would enjoy. The playground<br />
definitely fits the bill,” Mrs Blake<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Blake said the group<br />
raised its contribution for<br />
the playground through<br />
annual community gala days,<br />
and regular sausage sizzles,<br />
discos, raffles, and selling used<br />
school uniforms.<br />
Any money raised over the<br />
next few years would fund items<br />
for the redevelopment not paid<br />
for by the ministry, she said.<br />
The redevelopment is expected<br />
to be complete by the end of<br />
2<strong>02</strong>0. Oaklands School principal<br />
Margaret Trotter said pupils<br />
had a say in the design of the<br />
playground with school council<br />
members voting on the most<br />
important components to be<br />
included. The playground will be<br />
installed in term 4.<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD<br />
Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas and feedback as part of our first phase<br />
of consultation as we plan for our new school.<br />
As well as the online survey, feedback was gathered from Post-It Stations at various<br />
school events and from student House Groups and workshops.<br />
A Community Consultation Report is now with the design team to assist in developing<br />
the preliminary concept design for the new school.<br />
The key findings in the report shows our community would like a new school which:<br />
► Reflects Marian’s Roman Catholic Special Character, values, story and history<br />
► Is inclusive and supportive. For example, reflects and celebrates Māori, Asian and<br />
Pasifika cultures<br />
► Fosters Marian’s family environment and supports small class sizes<br />
► Has designated and comfortable spaces to pray, eat, prepare, teach, learn and be<br />
together<br />
► Is eco-friendly and sustainable<br />
► Has full-sized, modern facilities designed to be functional and welcoming<br />
► Has plenty of green, leafy space.<br />
The full report is available on the Marian College website.<br />
SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY<br />
This term, Marian students have filled paper bags with more than 200<br />
non-perishable food items for Christchurch families in need.<br />
During the <strong>July</strong> school holidays, Marian students will be working in the<br />
Stanmore Road St Vincent de Paul shop. Please call in with your preloved<br />
gently used clothing and household items and say hi.<br />
Marian College has a long tradition of service. Both students and staff<br />

Home needed for March 15 hearts<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THE SEARCH is on to find a<br />
home for thousands of crafted<br />
hearts sent to the city following<br />
the March 15 mosque attacks.<br />
More than 5000 hearts, along<br />
with messages of support,<br />
flooded in from around the<br />
world after Halswell’s Barkers<br />
Wool And Haberdashery<br />
manager Jacquie Jewell<br />
established the initiative Muslim<br />
Hearts of Christchurch.<br />
The goal was to collect as many<br />
crafted hearts as possible, made<br />
from knitted, croquet, origami,<br />
mosaic and vintage materials,<br />
to gift to those affected by the<br />
attacks.<br />
Mrs Jewell has now delivered<br />
3000 hearts, along with copies<br />
of messages, to the Al Noor<br />
Mosque, Linwood Islamic<br />
Centre, police and St John. But<br />
she has about 2000 left which she<br />
is hoping to publicly display.<br />
Initially, Mrs Jewell asked for<br />
permission from the city council<br />
to hang the remaining hearts on<br />
a designated tree in the Botanic<br />
Gardens.<br />
But city council Botanic<br />
Gardens and garden parks<br />
director Wolfgang Bopp said it<br />
wanted to maintain one location<br />
(at the Rolleston Ave tribute wall)<br />
where there was ample space to<br />
lay, stand or hang a tribute.<br />
After bringing the matter to<br />
the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board, Mrs Jewell is<br />
now seeking permission to have<br />
the hearts displayed in a city<br />
council facility.<br />
She is looking to place them on<br />
an artificial tree either in the city<br />
council chambers, at the Arts<br />
Centre or the Tūranga library.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
WORLDWIDE: Jacquie Jewell<br />
has had more than 5000<br />
crafted hearts sent from all<br />
over the world after creating<br />
an initiative aiming to show<br />
love for those affected by the<br />
terror attacks.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Mr Bopp said city council<br />
staff are working to come up<br />
with options for the long-term<br />
display of the hearts, which may<br />
or may not include exhibition<br />
opportunities in city council<br />
facilities.<br />
Mrs Jewell said while she is<br />
disappointed the city council will<br />
not allow there to be a designated<br />
tree placed in the Botanic<br />
Gardens, she is more excited<br />
about the second option.<br />
“They wouldn’t last as long if<br />
they were outside . . . I am excited<br />
to think they are going to be<br />
inside,” Mrs Jewell said.<br />
She said the display will give<br />
the hearts longevity for all the<br />
city to see.<br />
Mrs Jewell said presenting<br />
the crafted hearts with her two<br />
daughters to the two mosques<br />
was a “moving experience”.<br />
“To walk into them (the<br />
mosques), to know what<br />
happened there, I actually felt<br />
numb . . . it was something I will<br />
never forget,” she said.<br />

Hung hits the treble at<br />
Canterbury Golf awards<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
SPORT<br />
RUSSLEY GOLFER Juliana<br />
Hung took the spoils at the<br />
Canterbury Golf awards,<br />
winning the Liz Douglas Trophy,<br />
female golfer of the year and<br />
junior female golfer of the year<br />
awards.<br />
The Burnside High School<br />
student was unable to attend the<br />
awards at the Christchurch<br />
Golf Club as she was competing<br />
at the Taiwan Amateur<br />
Championship, where she<br />
finished seventh.<br />
It was the latest accolade<br />
for Hung, who was named<br />
outstanding young sportswoman<br />
of the year at the Canterbury<br />
Sports Awards in March. She<br />
followed in the footsteps of<br />
former Burnside student Amelia<br />
Garvey who won the award last<br />
year.<br />
Hung, 17, played a key role<br />
in the Canterbury women’s<br />
second place finish at the Toro<br />
Interprovincial championship<br />
at Waitikiri in December, where<br />
she played as the team’s No 1.<br />
Last year she represented New<br />
Zealand at the Youth Olympic<br />
Games in Argentina, and also<br />
competed at the home of golf,<br />
St Andrews, Scotland, when she<br />
was selected to play in the Junior<br />
Open Championship.<br />
The Liz Douglas Trophy is<br />
awarded to the player with the<br />
lowest stroke average over the<br />
season.<br />
Meanwhile, Rangiora junior<br />
golfer Kazuma Kobori was<br />
equally dominant at the awards,<br />
winning the Vardon Trophy<br />
(lowest stroke average), junior<br />
male golfer of the year and male<br />
golfer of the year awards.<br />
Services awards were presented<br />
to Canterbury women’s rep<br />
Catherine Bell (Christchurch),<br />
Canterbury masters rep Andrew<br />
Dufton (Russley), Kate Turner<br />
(Waimairi Beach) for her service<br />
as a Canterbury senior, masters<br />
rep and her involvement in rep<br />
management, and Mel Brew and<br />
Robyn Gillespie for their years of<br />
RECOGNISED: Juliana Hung collected three accolades at the<br />
Canterbury Golf Awards. <br />
service as women’s rep selectors.<br />
Canterbury Golf president<br />
Steve Kilpatrick and past<br />
president Peter MacDonald<br />
received distinguished service<br />
awards. They were recognised for<br />
their service in many volunteer<br />
management roles over the last<br />
15 years.<br />
Canterbury masters rep<br />
Aaron Forsyth (Waitikiri) was<br />
named ambassador of the year.<br />
Forsyth was recognised for his<br />
conduct on and off the course,<br />
and also for giving up a week<br />
to caddy and support the men’s<br />
Toro Interprovincial team at<br />
Clearwater in November.<br />
The awards for promising<br />
junior girl and boy of the year<br />
went to Deanna Matthews from<br />
Weedons and Lachie MacKay<br />
from Waimairi Beach.<br />
Avondale general manager<br />
Richard Sinclair received the<br />
administrator award for efforts<br />
over the past 12 months on the<br />
back of their clubhouse rebuild<br />
which has seen membership<br />
numbers, casual player<br />
patronage, and clubhouse<br />
revenue increase.<br />
RETENTION: Villa Maria won the round robin of the SuperNet<br />
competition for the second year running by defeating 36-30. <br />
Close result secures<br />
competition for Villa<br />
VILLA MARIA College took<br />
out round one of the SuperNet<br />
school netball competition by<br />
the tightest of margins after a<br />
36-30 win over St Margaret’s<br />
College last week.<br />
Both teams finished the<br />
round-robin on 24 points.<br />
However, Villa retained the<br />
Westpac Trust plate – awarded<br />
to the winner of the round<br />
robin – after finishing with a<br />
better goal differential than St<br />
Margaret’s.<br />
Coming into the final roundrobin<br />
match Villa trailed St<br />
Margaret’s by four competition<br />
points. However, they had a goal<br />
differential of 70, while St Margaret’s<br />
had a differential of 67.<br />
This meant any kind of victory<br />
would see them reclaim the title.<br />
MORE THAN 1000 young<br />
footballers across 74 teams will<br />
kick off the fourth edition of the<br />
Christchurch International Cup<br />
on Saturday at the state-of-theart<br />
football centre in Yaldhurst.<br />
The presence of A-League<br />
glamour club Sydney FC<br />
underlines how far the event has<br />
come in only three years.<br />
Tournament director Lew<br />
Gordon said the skill levels<br />
of the participating teams<br />
and the matches have grown<br />
incrementally with each<br />
tournament. It will be held at the<br />
Christchurch Football Centre.<br />
“And with academy teams<br />

Football cup kicks off in Yaldhurst<br />
high-profile clubs in the draw,<br />
we may see several future All<br />

The size of the tournament<br />
has increased to a point where<br />
different age groups will now<br />
compete across 10 days, with the<br />
under-14 teams playing from<br />
Saturday to Monday, the under-<br />
13s from <strong>July</strong> 9-11, and the<br />
under-12 and under-10s on <strong>July</strong><br />
13-15. Gordon said the players<br />
love coming to Christchurch<br />
because they get a small taste<br />
of what it is like on the big stage.<br />
“We try to run every game like it<br />
is a FIFA event, with proper match<br />
officials, coming onto the pitch<br />
with music, and just making sure<br />
all the details feel professional, and<br />
the players love it,” he said.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
The facts about<br />
Home Ventilation<br />
Balanced Pressure<br />
vs Positive Pressure<br />
Are you struggling with the heat of<br />
Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />
Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility<br />
of being able to heat and cool which is an<br />
advantage no other appliance can offer. This<br />
represents great value for your investment<br />
as you can use it all year round. The team<br />
at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you<br />
cool this Summer either at home or work.<br />
Enviro Master supplies, installs and services<br />
all the leading brands including Panasonic,<br />
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means<br />
our team can show you which system and<br />
brand will best suit your needs.<br />
With new regulations coming in for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />
now is a great time to beat the 1st of<br />
<strong>July</strong> deadline. Inadequate heating and<br />
ventilation can lead to mould growth and<br />
dampness in your property, leading to<br />
costlier maintenance and an unhealthy<br />
living environment. Providing a fixed<br />
heater with a higher heat output and lower<br />
running costs, like a heat pump, will enable<br />
your tenants to heat the area effectively.<br />
It will also discourage them from using<br />
unflued gas heaters which can make a<br />
house damp and mouldy.<br />
It is important to remember, when<br />
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />
warranty does not cover the installation<br />
and consumers could be responsible for<br />
any repair or damage caused to the system<br />
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s<br />
five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />
correct installation, and a demonstration<br />
so customers have an understanding on<br />
how it will best meet their needs.<br />
For a free in home consultation, call<br />
Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our<br />
showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd,<br />
Waltham, Christchurch.<br />
Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />
all buildings, including residential, need<br />
to be suitably ventilated, either with<br />
opening windows or forced ventilation.<br />
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this<br />
provision is to safeguard people from<br />
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of<br />
fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced,<br />
or mechanical, ventilation over opening<br />
windows, including warmth, security,<br />
reduction of outside noises and reduction<br />
of condensation.<br />
Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in<br />
from outside via the roof space and force<br />
the stale air out through gaps around<br />
windows and doors. The incoming air<br />
from these systems has to be heated or<br />
cooled to keep the house warm in winter or<br />
cool in summer.<br />
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced<br />
pressure’ system. It extracts air from the<br />
house and at the same time brings in fresh<br />
air. These two streams of air pass through<br />
a heat exchanger, which warms incoming<br />
air in winter and cools in summer if air<br />
conditioning is being used. This means that<br />
up to 80% of the energy which would be<br />
wasted using a traditional positive pressure<br />
system is recovered, resulting in significant<br />
energy savings and therefore lower heating<br />
or cooling costs.<br />
Until recently, balanced pressure<br />
ventilation systems have been considerably<br />
more expensive than traditional<br />
positive pressure systems. However,<br />
with Smooth-Air’s unique<br />
manufacturing capabilities, a<br />
HEX390 balanced pressure system<br />
can be installed for a similar price as<br />
a traditional positive pressure system.<br />

The tree of LIFE<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 />
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 />
considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />
of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />
consumed each day.<br />
TEBONIN and further information<br />

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural<br />
Therapy in New Brighton. PH: 388-5757.<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 />

Slow cooked, healthy butter chicken<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Making healthy meals<br />
packed with flavour is<br />
easy in a slow cooker,<br />
says chef and food writer<br />
Ross Dobson<br />
In his latest recipe book, The<br />
Healthy Slow Cooker, Dobson<br />
shows it doesn’t take too much<br />
effort to make food in a slow<br />
cooker that is not only healthy<br />
but can also be gluten-free,<br />
vegan or vegetarian. He uses<br />
inspiration from Asia, India and<br />
the Middle East, with flavours,<br />
ingredients and spices that work<br />
well in a slow cooker.<br />
Light butter chicken<br />
(serves four, gluten-free)<br />
Prep time 20min<br />
Cooking time 4.5 hours<br />
Ingredients<br />
750g chicken thigh fillets<br />
1 brown onion, chopped<br />
3cm piece ginger, chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, chopped<br />
1 large green chilli, seeded and<br />
chopped<br />
1 Tbsp olive oil<br />
1 Tbsp butter<br />
½ tsp chilli powder<br />
1 Tbsp ground cumin<br />
1 Tbsp ground coriander<br />
1 Tbsp garam masala<br />
1 Tbsp sweet paprika<br />
5 green cardamom pods, lightly<br />
crushed<br />
2 Tbsp tomato paste<br />
(concentrated pure)<br />
2 tsp chicken stock<br />
powder<br />
400g can crushed tomatoes<br />
1 Tbsp cornflour<br />
1 cup (260g) natural yoghurt<br />
To serve<br />
Brown basmati rice<br />
Handful roughly chopped<br />
coriander (cilantro)<br />
Lemon wedges<br />
Directions<br />
Heat your slow cooker to high.<br />
Trim the fat from the chicken<br />
thighs and discard. Cut each<br />
thigh in half, or into thirds<br />
if large, bearing in mind that<br />
they will shrink as they cook.<br />
Refrigerate until needed.<br />
Put the onion, ginger, garlic<br />
and chilli into a food processor<br />
and process until you have a<br />
chunky paste.<br />
Heat the oil in a large frying<br />
pan over medium heat. Add the<br />
paste and cook for 8-10min,<br />
until the liquid from the onion<br />
has evaporated and the paste<br />
looks dry. Stir through the butter<br />
and cook for a minute until the<br />
butter has melted.<br />
Stir in the chilli powder,<br />
cumin, coriander, garam masala,<br />
paprika and cardamom pods.<br />
Add two tablespoons cold water<br />
and stir to incorporate any stuckon<br />
bits.<br />
Stir in the tomato paste and<br />
stock powder, then scrape the<br />
contents of the frying pan into<br />
the bowl of the slow cooker.<br />
Add the crushed tomatoes,<br />
cornflour, yoghurt and chicken.<br />
Give everything a good stir,<br />
nudging the chicken into the<br />
sauce, then cover and cook for<br />
two hours.<br />
Give it a stir, then quickly<br />
cover again to avoid losing too<br />
much heat. Cook for a further<br />
two hours, until the chicken<br />
is very tender and the sauce is<br />
thick. Serve the butter chicken<br />
on brown basmati rice, garnished<br />
with chopped coriander and<br />
lemon wedges on the side.<br />

farmers market and community centre is the<br />
place to go for your organic veggies or morning<br />
yoga classes, and the Port Hills and Estuary are<br />
the perfect playground for those who love an<br />
active lifestyle! However our realistic owner is<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
