Residents want say on quarry BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD Yaldhurst residents are frustrated they can not have their say on a quarry wanting to expand its operation. Road Metals Company Ltd, on West Coast Rd, has made applications to the city council and Environment Canterbury to use land for excavation and to discharge dust from a quarry extension. The existing quarry is at 350 West Coast Rd, and it is proposed to extend the site to 290 and 316 West Coast Rd. A city council hired commissioner, and Environment Canter-

bury decided not to publicly notify the applications. Yaldhurst Rural Residents’ Association chairman Bob Cross said without them being publicly notified it limited the public’s right to have a say as to how they wanted to shape the community they lived in. “We should be worried by this big brother knows best scenario.” The association itself could not make a submission on the application because only 14 surrounding properties were notified and able to make them. ECan consents planning manager Tania Harris said the decision to notify those affected was made

because the effects to nearby properties would be “no more than minor.” “We carefully considered whether we should publicly notify the applications, but were not persuaded there was any reason to do so based on current case law on the relevant Resource Management Act provisions.” She said the notification to neighbours allowed them to express their views. Because the applications are for an extension of an existing activity, the overall effects of the operation on the environment are well known, she said.

“While we acknowledge the considerable public interest in this and adjacent quarrying operations, public interest alone is not enough for an application to require full public notification.” But Mr Cross said the if the quarry was to be extended the effects would be more than minor. “Their once normal lifestyle neighbour offered a typical rural amenity. The prospect now is likely to be a large hole approximately 11m deep.” He said previous resource consents from other quarry operators that had been granted were a huge • Turn to page 2

Floodlights installed for Yaldhurst sports centre The development of the International Sport Centre in Yaldhurst reached its next milestone when the first floodlight masts were raised last week. Lighting and design engineers from Connetics placed the first of four 21m masts around the two new artificial football pitches and two more posts between the two fields were due to be placed on Thursday. The new floodlights would offer the players superior light levels of about 450lux. International Sports Centre director Slava Meyn said the lights were an important step in his quest to provide worldclass facilities for Christchurch players. Players of the Christchurch Football Academy, which is based at the Yaldhurst Rd facility, hope to start training on the brand new artificial pitches by the end of May. Connetics chief executive Jono Brent said the expertise of the lighting and design team had come to the fore and would be there for all see once the lights were switched on. “Where most football players in Christchurch will be used to training in the winter under lights that may generate a fraction of this amount of light, these players will be

Mr Brent said specialist lighting design is a vital component. “But sadly the importance of fit-for-purpose lighting and design is not always recognised. “Athletes end up paying the price playing in substandard conditions which ultimately

They had no regard for the amenities enjoyed, the wider impact of the decisions, and the stress and possible health risks associated with extending quarry activities, he said. The association was heavily involved in assisting the groups that submitted against those applications. Road Metals Company Ltd managing director Murray Francis said the quarry had nearly exhausted its gravel supply and needed to expand. “There’s been a huge need for gravel since the earthquakes.” He said the new area would be used for extraction only, and the processing plant would remain on its original location. “The source of any issues such as dust or noise stays in the same place as it has for the last 20 years.” He said the effects of the expansion would be “less than minor” and those not directly affected would not notice a change. If resource consent was granted, the quarry would begin excavating the new site almost immediately, he said.

impacts on their performance.” Once this first stage is completed in late May, construction will start on state-of-the-art clubroom facilities incorporating a bar and café area, as well as dressing rooms. The next stage will also include four smaller artificial pitches with floodlights and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Denton Oval gets $200,000 boost BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD Plans to repair the Denton Oval cycling track have been helped along with a $200,000 donation. Sky TV chief executive John Fellet presented the cheque to deputy mayor Vicki Buck and Canterbury Track Cycling committee chairman Shane Buckner at the oval on March 28. Mr Buckner said Canterbury Track Cycling was grateful for the donation and looking forward to the repairs taking place. “We’re very happy to be able to use some of the money for the next generation of cyclists.” The city council has already agreed to grind the track and remove the bumps and cracks caused by the earthquakes. Mr Buckner said it would be great for the riders to be able to use the track and not worry about hitting a bump or a crack, which could be dangerous when riding at pace. The donation will enable the lighting, changing rooms, showers and toilets to be upgraded and the track rails replaced. “Any track repairs are going to have great benefit to our riders.” He said a date for when the repairs will be completed had not been confirmed, but hoped it could be done before the new season starts in October. The donation was part of Sky TV’s $1 million five-year commitment to help repair the city after the earthquakes, in partnership with the Christchurch Earthquake

Maadi Cup – Western News celebrates its schools’ successes BY KYLE KNOWLES

GOLD: The Girls’ High lightweight coxed four of Rhiannon Mason, Paige and Taylor Waddington, Sara Buerki and cox Sarah Fitchett who is hidden in actionduring a race. HARD WORK: Martel and Robertson on the water during a race on their way to gold.

THIRD: The under-18 lightweight coxed four of Andrew Taylor, Liam Pyott, Sam Robertson, Will Methven, Connor Fraher with coach Ross Linstrom on the podium.

It may have rained on the last day of the Maadi Cup but nothing could dampen the spirits of Christchurch schools as they won bags of medals. St Margaret’s won the big one, the under-18 girls coxed eight beating Epsom Girls Grammar of Auckland by two seconds in the final. The Maadi Cup at Lake Karapiro, Cambridge, is the pinnacle of secondary schools rowing, and a springboard for the country’s future national representatives. After winning it in 2013 they finished third last year and have now regained the title. The eight was made up of Georgia Voice, Taylah Eder, Caroline Pearson, Millie Borren, Lily Marshall, Olivia Mendonca, Izzy Goddard, Star Davidson and cox, Grace Cocks. The school’s under-17 coxed eight and coxed four crews also bagged the gold medal. It was the third time in four years the under-17 four finished in top spot, this year beating out Nelson College by 1.25sec. The four was made up of girls who also won the under-18 eight, Star, Izzy, Millie, Georgia and cox Grace. St Margaret’s also walked away from Lake Karapiro with three silver medal wins in the under-18 coxless pair, under-16 coxed four and the under-15 coxed octuple sculls. The team captain, Olivia, was picked to take part in the New Zealand junior trials which start

The under-18 coxless pair of Sam Martel and Sam Robertson won the school’s first gold medal in a sweep oar event (non-sculling) in 32 years. They beat out the crew from Auckland’s Mt Albert Grammar School by 3.4sec. The pair were also selected as trialists for the national junior rowing team. The under-16 coxed four of Zack Rumble, Thomas Russel, Mitchell White, Ben Taylor and cox Angus Taggart secured the school’s other gold medal of the regatta. St Andrew’s also won a bronze medal in both the under-18 lightweight coxed four and the under-16 coxed eight. Rangi Ruru rounded off a successful regatta for schools from the nor’ west area. They won four medals including two golds. The under-15 coxed four of Samantha Wing, Claudia Reid, Jemima Bell, Isabella Carter and cox Harriet Green were not in contention at the halfway stage of the final but stormed home in the second kilometre to win by 1.29 seconds over Auckland’s Baradene College. Rangi’s under-15 coxed eight was the other golden crew again beating Baradene. The crew consisted of Claudia, Samantha, Jemima, Isabella, Sophie McCartin, Izzie Evans, Emma Stephens, Alice Sproat and cox Maisie Nattrass.

Girls’ High finished the regatta with seven medals including two golds. The under-18 coxless pair of Grace Shaw and Sophie Jackson powered home to take gold ahead of St Margaret’s and the under-18 lightweight coxed four of Rhiannon Mason, Paige and Taylor Waddington, Sara Buerki and cox Sarah Fitchett were also too good for Auckland’s Westlake Girls’ High School who finished second third. Sarah and Sophie were selected to trial for the South Island rowing team and Grace was picked for the national trials. Christ’s College picked up a medal of each colour with the gold medal going to the under-17 coxed eight.

Bid to divulge pit concerns BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD A community board member wants potential homeowners to be well aware of the issues surrounding the Owaka Pit before buying in the area. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board member Debbie Mora said when people are making a purchase they have a right to know all the facts. “Not only that, the developers need to know as well.” She said if people were looking to buy in the area they should get in touch with the community board or a local residents’ association to talk about any pressing issues. With the new Magnolia Estate subdivision going in on Wilmers Rd and a Summerset retirement village planned for the corner of Wigram and Awatea Rds, people should have all the facts, she said. The pit has been a source of contention for years and the issues came to a head in 2013 when a pile of medium density fibre (MDF) spontaneously caught alight and took weeks to contain. Ms Mora said the airborne particles were known to be toxic and a number of people were hospitalised after the fire. “You can’t tell me it’s not poisonous.” She said people moving to the area could have breathing problems or may have newborn babies who would be affected by the airborne particles from the pit.

WARNING: Riccarton-Wigram Community Board member Debbie Mora (inset) wants people to contact the board or local residents’ associations before buying a home near the Owaka Pit. “It’s not a great way for their lungs to develop.” At the last community board meeting, Wigram Skies resident Julie Shivas said dealing with the impacts of the pit had been terrible. She said when the fire ignited at the pit, the fumes were so bad she thought she was choking to death. Her home bears the brunt of the dust which comes from the site and covers her window sills, she said.

She told the board when she moved to the area she did not know about the pit, and it would be the same for a number of other people doing the same. The nearby subdivision was currently selling sections for over $250,000 alone, she said. “I bet people buying them don’t even know about it.” Summerset chief executive Julian Cook said the group was aware of some of the issues surrounding

the pit. “We are aware of some concerns in the community and we are working with Environment Canterbury to ensure there are no issues for our prospective residents. “The wellbeing of our residents, and the communities our villages are part of, remains our highest priority.” A spokesperson for Magnolia Estate did not respond to the Western News.

Riccarton residents quizzed on community safety Do you feel safe in your neighbourhood? That is the main question being asked of Riccarton West residents as part of a neighbourhood safety survey. Residents of Riccarton West are working with the city council, police and neighbourhood support to make the neighbourhood safe and welcoming, and can fill out a survey to help. Some other questions being asked in the survey include how long people have lived in the area, whether they have seen changes in the area, whether they think crime is a problem, whether they avoid particular places in the area, and whether they have been personally affected by crime. The information from the survey will be used to develop a full picture of how people feel about Riccarton West and issues of concern. This will allow a neighbourhood safety plan to be developed, to build neighbourhood ownership, and make the neighbourhood a better place to live, work, and play. The survey can be completed at https://ccc.tfaforms.net/54.

Spokes Canterbury says roadside parks need to be removed for cyclist safety in the Middleton area. The organisation is welcoming designs for a roading upgrade which is part of $10.5 million project to ease traffic congestion in the area. Major work on Annex Rd, Birmingham Drive, Wrights Rd and Matipo St is likely to be approved by the city council and would include some cycleways, at the expense of about 190 parks. Spokes Canterbury chairman Don Babe said roads were designed to get people from one place to another and were too valuable to use as car parks. “Roads are thoroughfares, not car parks.” The Riccarton-Wigram and Spreydon-Heathcote community boards discussed the plans at a meeting last month. Both boards agreed the plan was a positive step, but the removal of the parks in the area was concerning. The boards recommended the city council approve the project, but asked it to go back and revise the parking

Rockstar Energy Drink Super 8 Redemption Boxing

oxing fans were out in force at Horncastle Arena on March 28 to attend the Rockstar Energy Drink Super 8 Redemption, featuring Brian “The Beast” Minto. Billed as the biggest lineup of professional boxers to ever visit Christchurch, the event was a fundraiser for the charity KidsCan as well as a display of world-class boxing. The action in the ring was quick and unforgiving as each bout of three rounds, each of three minutes’ duration, kept the crowd roaring for more. Shani White

and dermal needling for skin rejuvenation. Botox™ treatment is not only used for wrinkle removal, it is also highly effective for treating excessive underarm sweating. The application of dermal fillers for facial contouring softens the face so wrinkles and lines are much less obvious. Clients approaching the clinic for treatments like these often feel vulnerable, so the staff put them at ease and ensure they get all the information they need through an in-depth consultation. “We spend a lot of time working out what’s best for the client, look at the options and also discuss the costs,” the clinic’s Jenny Little explains. “People are encouraged to take information away and think about what

they want before committing to treatment,” Jenny says, “but there are also clients who want to have a Botox™ treatment straight away and then go back to work.” She says appearance medicine treatments have improved considerably over the 20 years the clinic has been operating, and there are products and methods to suit all types of skin. The clinic also offers mole mapping, mole removal and primary skin cancer removal, while another key area of treatment is varicose vein removal. Two methods are offered – endovenous laser treatment and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. The clinic has relationships with several health insurance providers and clients may be covered for varicose vein treatment, providing it is included in their policy. Transform Appearance Clinic is discreetly located at 52a Mandeville Street. It is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am, with late nights on Tuesday and Thursday, and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Phone 343 2880 to enquire about treatments or make an appointment.

hen a friend recommended Jonathan Milne’s book Go! The Art of Change to Anne Bannock, she then looked into studying at The Learning Connexion, the school of art and creativity, based in Wellington which Jonathan founded and directs. Anne realised that its study-from-home, part-time option suited her down to a tee. “My lifelong ambition was to go to an art school and to be part of the creative energy that goes with it,” says Anne. “To enter a new world of understanding modern art and new ideas.” Situated in picturesque Ngatimoti, Anne has made a studio retreat that caters to her creativity and to the public. “My studio is a converted cowshed which serves as my studio and gallery, and is open to the public in the summer.” The Advanced Diploma programme has been the best programme of study for Anne to follow, allowing her to discover new techniques and skills to add to her extensive creative repertoire. “Everyone I have met has been helpful, especially the tutors.

Enviro Master for heat pumps

SMOOTH-AIR

PRODUCTS

f you are rebuilding or repairing your home, Enviro Master can offer you a complete solution to meet your individual heating, cooling and ventilation needs. Many housing companies offer a package deal and therefore may size or position your heat pump incorrectly. It is best to talk to the experts to tailor a solution that best suit your individual requirements. This can be done from your architectural plans or from a free in-home consultation. Enviro Master have been servicing the Christchurch area for over 12 years, and 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. Heat pumps are known to be one of the most energy efficient forms of heating available. In addition to being able to provide up to 4.9kW of energy for every 1kW used, there are the added

benefits of cooling, dehumidifying and air filtration (great for people with allergies or asthma), benefits no other heating appliance can offer. Ducted and multisystems are becoming increasingly popular, providing climatecontrolled comfort throughout your home or workplace. We are also able to incorporate ventilation into ducted systems. For a free in-home consultation, call Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our showroom at 41A Shakespeare Road, Waltham, Christchurch.

We currently have a stock clearance on 2.5kW cooling/3.6kW heating systems starting as low as $1900 installed. These are ideal for a bedroom or ofﬁce, and there are very limited numbers of these systems available. We also have savings up to $800 off the recommended retail price on selected models.

AT PROMOTIONAL PRICING!!!

To ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts. SmoothAir Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components in-store, but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements.

Ventilation

his includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Filtered air supply for summer and filtered and warmed air in winter creates a healthy environment in which to live and work. In case of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase.

nsfe a r T at

Hi Wall, 4.2kw

ONLY $990

If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances, like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke, are harmful and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline. It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

Don’t be trapped by gout It is not widely known that gout is a form of arthritis. But it is the second most common form of arthritis in the country.

out is caused by an excessive buildup of uric acid in the blood. The acid crystallises and results in joint inflammation. Unfortunately, there are a lot of harmful myths circulating about gout, such as that it is a disease of luxury, but these myths need to be dispelled immediately. There is no shame in getting gout. Thankfully, gout can generally be wellmanaged with effective medication and lifestyle changes. Arthritis New Zealand is hosting a number of gout workshops in Christchurch and surrounding districts in April and May that will help you learn to manage your gout better. To register or to find out more about these workshops, phone 0800 663 463. There is no cost to attend, but Arthritis New Zealand is always grateful for donations. Arthritis New Zealand is the national organisation focused on raising awareness of the more than 140 different forms of arthritis, advocating for those with the condition and providing advice and support. There are 578,000 New Zealanders living with arthritis.

ADVANCED OMEGA PC FISH OIL

t is well-known how important omega-3 fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated that most people don’t even get a third of the recommended omega-3 fatty acids on a weekly basis. Countries with higher amounts of omega-3 in their diet are known to have lower cardiovascular disease and in many cases, better overall health. Recent research has shown inflammation to be a big part of disease and ageing process. Fish oil can help reduce inflammation by providing essential fatty acids required by the body to heal itself and maintain good health. Fish oil supplements have become

hugely popular for this reason. Until now, most fish oils only contain omega-3 fatty acids in triglyceride form. Fish, however, naturally contain omega-3 in triglyceride and phospholipid form but until recently, the phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process. GO Advanced Omega PC sets new standards in fish oil as it contains omega-3 attached to both triglycerides and phospholipids. Studies have shown GO Advanced Omega PC to be far better absorbed, leading to increased levels of vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs thru giving the potential for more health benefits.

GO Advanced Omega PC is produced from fresh, wild, deep sea cold water fish using a new advanced and more natural cold extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP (good manufacturing practice) standards and is molecularly distilled to remove any contaminants, toxins and heavy metals like mercury. For further information on this revolutionary new fish oil and how it may benefit you, phone Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy in New Brighton.

Do your joints ever hurt?

ur body has a padding called cartilage, a protective spongy coating between all moving bone surfaces. Cartilage allows the joints to move freely. However, it is easily worn away or damaged with activity but is normally being constantly rebuilt. If the replacement and repair of cartilage slows down, the moving bone surfaces become closer and may start scraping together. This can eventually cause joint inflammation, pain and reduced mobility. If it continues, the bone surfaces become rough and symptoms worsen. This process is called

wear and tear arthritis or osteoarthritis. Researchers have found certain nutrients may stimulate the body to produce more cartilage and also support the healing of connective tissue, ligaments, bone and muscle. GO Healthy New Zealand has developed a highly effective combination of nutrients to support all areas of joint health. The formula called GO Glucosamine 1-A-Day provides well-researched nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, proline, manganese and vitamin D3 to support the formation of cartilage, connective tissue,

ligaments, bone and muscle. It is known when the joints are inflamed, they can be very painful and this inflammation may also slow down the formation of new cartilage. For this reason, GO Glucosamine 1-A-Day also contains an effective blend of ginger, turmeric and celery to help reduce joint inflammation and pain. Inflammation may be further reduced by also taking a therapeutic amount of high purity fish oil or krill oil. For more information, contact Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy at 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton. Phone 388 5757.

Fish however naturally contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS: • Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as shown in research • Advanced new cold extraction better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish • Naturally contains phospholipids to support cellular health • Contains vitamin D3 to support immune, bone & cardiovascular health

• Supports cardiovascular health - Countries with a higher Omega-3 intake have much lower rates of heart disease • Supports blood circulation, healthy cholesterol & healthy blood pressure • Supports joint health, joint mobility & repair • Natural anti-inflammatory • Supports overall health & wellbeing

In 2015, they will be taking their services on the road and out into communities, meeting people in their environments to make daily living easier.

Blues In Full Swing by Li'l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine

Blues in Full Swing' by Li'l Chuck the One Man Skiffle Machine is Out Now! itunes.apple.com/nz/album/ blues-in-full-swing

Genuine one man band Lil’l Chuck aka David Thorpe celebrates the launch of his new album, ‘Blues in Full Swing’ with a FREE show at The Wunderbar in Lyttelton, from 8pm next Thursday (9th April) with support Brendan Gregg. “The last few years have proven to many that you have to seize the moment, time waits for no-one,” said David. “Being a one-man band had been in my head too long and I had to start getting it down. If for nothing else than as a personal archive and love letter to my family.” David is a familiar local musician. Apart from his current project performing and recording as Li’l Chuck, he has been involved in numerous collaborations including the well known Black Velvet Band. According to David, his new album is lighthearted and full of foot tapping good times. Each song illustrates the essence of a one man band, with all of the instruments played and recorded simultaneously. “I’m blessed with the ability to perform by coordinating multiple instruments at one time. I am proof that men can indeed multitask!”
