ALLEYWAY FROM HELL
Fights, drugs, noise . . . residents have had enough FED UP: Hei Hei residents Maryann Belcher and Natasha McLean are sick of the vandalism, fighting and drinking that happens over their back fences each weekend.
ANDREW KING
Fed up residents want an alleyway shutdown where people are fighting, drinking and taking drugs. The alleyway runs between Aurora St and Buchanans Rd, Hei Hei and from Thursday to Sunday morning nearby neighbours endure loud music, people fighting and bottles being smashed. Neighbours clean up the

alley during the week and find used needles, glass, dog faeces and blood. They pleaded to the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board on Tuesday to close down the alleyway. Natasha McLean bought her home in Aurora St around nine months ago and said she is on edge every weekend. “It has got to the point that any sound I hear at night I sit upright in bed,� she said.
She has been burgled three times in nine months. “I don’t feel safe living near it [the alleyway],� she said. Mrs McLean had circled a petition around the surrounding neighbours. She said neighbours told her they do not use it because of the weekend activities. Chris and Maryann Belcher have lived on the Buchanans Rd end of the al-
leyway for 15 years. They said they have had enough and want the alleyway gone. “Our fence was caught fire one [Sunday] morning after someone lit a cabbage tree on fire,� Mr Belcher said. “If it hadn’t of been for someone knocking on our door and letting us know it could have been a lot worse.� They have also had to hand in stolen items left on their
back lawn more than once. Police will look into the problems after being contacted by the community board. Hornby Community Patrol secretary Ann Smith urged people in the are to contact police when they had problems so that they could monitor it. “The public needs to talk to police so we can identify that hot spot,� she said.

us stop not so great B disability group says BY ANDREW KING
A disability advocacy group wants the city council to shift a Riccarton bus stop because a grate and a driveway make it dangerous. The bus stop at 67 Mandeville St has been on the radar of the Disabled Persons Assembly group because its design means those who are physically impaired do not use it. DPA president Philip Haythornthwaite told the RiccatonWigram Community Board on Tuesday the bus stop needed to be shifted. He said it crossed a driveway, resulting in the back door being located at a kerb cut-down, and had a grated drainage sump located at the head of the bus stop box. But city council staff said it is unlikely to be shifted because fewer than one person a day, on average, used the bus stop. Deputy mayor Vicki Buck
SHIFT IT: The Mandeville St bus stop which the Disabled Persons Assembly says is dangerous. supported the city council staff stance. But Mr Haythornthwaite said patronage would not increase because the bus stop was ‘dangerous”. “It is utterly stupid that it was installed there deliberately, there on that route, knowing that these problems would arise,” he said.

and deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton visited the site before the meeting and thought if the bus stop was moved south it would solve the problem. Moving the bus stop meant losing four car parks, however. “I think that four car parks should be sacrificed for safer bus routes,” said Mr Haythornthwaite.

The board has asked city council staff to investigate moving the bus stop further south on Mandeville St, and then to report back. Board member Debbie Mora said asking city council staff for another report was pointless as it would come back the same as the one they had in front of them.

It feels good to share James O’Caiside – Strowan resident and director at MPD Group Ltd The other day in Riccarton, I brought a homeless man to the restaurant I was eating at and bought him lunch. When I came to the outdoor area where he was sat 20min later to bring more food, he had halved what he had and was giving it to another homeless man to eat. Those prior two sentences are based around something that happened to me less than two weeks ago, and still at this moment makes me profoundly happy. I can’t describe the sentiment – it’s not a condescending “look at what I started” type happy. Not anything of the kind. But I’ll try. The initial reason I had decided to buy this particular gentleman lunch, sitting on the side of the road with a sign that

SOAP BOX said “Homeless and Hungry”, was exactly that. I’ve never shied from helping people purely on the basis of needing money for whatever reason, but compounding factors for me relate to a person being hungry. I’ve been hungry before, needed food, not had it readily available. As a child, as an adult, hunger is cruel, and painful, and draining. I adhered to my three selfappointed principles of interacting with someone living on the streets, strange as it may seem: I sat next to him to talk, as opposed to standing over. I initiated physical contact, a handshake. Upon offering to help with food, I instigated him coming to eat at the same restaurant
as me, amongst a social atmosphere. With a television on the wall, people laughing and plates clattering. No need to sit across the road on the pavement eating the same food, but not invited to do so with the people. I did simply put, because I was going to have food. I in 20min would not be hungry, my belly would be full. I did it through the virtue of fortune and chance. I had enough to go around to give this man the same feeling, and it was my pleasure to do so. It feels good to share, to see someone having the same nice things and sensations as you do. I came out 20min later, and saw this man a half hour ago on the side of the road, now full of steak and a pint of beer. I saw him readily scooping food off his plate on to that of a fellow hungry man he had waved over, and I clicked. Enough to go round, happy to have what he needed, and gaining enjoyment from seeing the pleasure stretched to accommodate another. I was happy because we were the same.

Angled parking looked at for Elizabeth St ANDREW KING
The option of angled parking will be explored for Elizabeth St in Riccarton. Residents made a deputation to the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board asking for action around parking issues on Tuesday. People living on the street have noticed with increased population towards the area there have been less parks available. The board asked city council staff to look at angled parking for that road which, if works, could be implemented in similar situations. Board deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton (right) also made a notice of motion, which the board moved, about the problem saying it was the “first time” she had heard of parking problem caused by residents.
PACKED: Parking on Elizabeth St has become scarce after more and more residents have moved into the area.
Resident Kath Jaimison, who presented the deputation, said the increase of people living in Elizabeth St had created a situation where finding a park after 6pm was nearly “impossible”. “The road was not designed for the amount of cars that currently need to park there,” she said. Some residents are parking on nearby Picton Ave, leaving
less parking there, and on grass verges on Elizabeth St. “Young females, those with young children and elderly have to walk a long way,” she said. Board chairman Mike Mora said the onus for off-street parking should be put on property developers rather than the city council having to deal with the problem.

Residents would accept any suggestions that the city council traffic engineers come up with as long as it was not parking restrictions. “That would just make it worse,” Ms Jaimison said. She said there was no problem with the idea of population intensification but it needs to be coupled with sufficient parking.
RUBBISH, BARK ON FIRE Sockburn firefighters were called to a residential address in Halswell last week to a pile of rubbish on fire. Fire communications shift manager Riwai Grace said smoke was coming from the backyard of a Halswell Rd property and the Fire Service was called out at about 11am on Wednesday. He said it took about 10minto put out. Firefighters from Christchurch central were called to Charles St, Waltham, at 1.14pm on Wednesday. A pile of bark was smouldering in Charleston Reserve. It took about 16min to extinguish. NEW LEASE FOR CHURCH The Garden City Fellowship has been granted a five year lease for the Hei Hei Link building in Wycola Ave. The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board granted the churchbased organisation the lease at its meeting last Tuesday. The church will use the building as a base to run three outreach programmes from the site benefiting the Aranui, Tongan and Hornby communities. While occupying the building the church will make improvements at its own cost including installing a new heat pump, painting the interior and exterior of the building and some new carpet. The city council-owned building was previously the Hornby Toy Library.

I’ve had an interest in politics for some time but I still need to learn a lot more. How did you go about it? It came to me. It was an awesome opportunity from our local MP Megan Woods who extended the opportunity through our school. What is the political debate in the playground like? Students don’t talk a lot about politics. My aim will be to raise their awareness including encouraging them to enrol to vote Why did you decide to that Labour was the party for you?
FUTURE POLITICIAN: Cheyenne Te Haara-Barr wants to be the first Maori female Prime Minister. Although my parents support Labour, at this stage I have not decided which party I support. Do you have a long term political goal? To be the first Maori female Prime Minister.

Parliament very approachable and knowledgeable. As the new Labour spokesperson for the Christchurch rebuild, I would love to talk to her about her ideas. Winston Peters – He’s a unique character. Quite a mixture of youth and experience there. What do you want to get out of your time with Megan Woods? A chance to get an insight into political life and learn some new skills and gain a heap of knowledge which will help in my later life. What portfolio would you like to sink your teeth into? Youth affairs. If you decide that politics is not for you, what will you fall back on? I’m also passionate about helping young children who through disability or some other reason, are unable to communicate verbally. Do you do any charity work at the moment? Through my leadership training at school, I have helped to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House and also helped to paint a fence and spend time with young children at a local kindergarten.
Finally, what do you think of Prime Minster John Key’s time in parliament? I often hear criticisms about Mr Key but also believe that he

DINGHYS & OUTBOARDS
Great parental support and warm weather helped make Burnside Primary School’s athletics day a success. The five to seven-year-olds took part in long jump, high jump, hurdles, shot put, discus, moon hopper races, orienteering and sprints. Teacher Trudi Browne said it

New direction for popular music store The long-established Christchurch music store, Begg’s Music, is heading in an exciting new direction. As from the end of October, the store will be doing business from its new premises in Sydenham – operating as an outlet store. “The main reason for the move is that we need more space,” says Grant Bargrove, who has owned and run the popular music store for almost 30 years. One of the city’s oldest and most respected businesses, Begg’s dates back to the 1800s and since then has been providing instruments and other musical requirements for generations of keen musicians. The store moved into South City four years ago, after the earthquakes severely damaged the Colombo Street building it had occupied for the previous 25 years. The move to the new, larger premises this month allowing the change to the outlet concept, will mean much cheaper prices for customers, says Grant. Almost all the stock will be directly imported by Begg’s Music and displayed in an industrial environment, which will see examples of the various instruments on display and the bulk of the stock boxed up ready for customers to pick up and take home. With the larger premises providing more storage space, Begg’s Music will be getting back into pianos, says Grant. “We will be bringing them in directly by the container load. The interest in pianos has reignited, and we will have the space to showcase them, plus the building will be temperature controlled for the pianos.” Begg’s Music is also a supplier of Fender guitars, and will have an extensive range at the new outlet store, which also includes a fully equipped workshop. And with recording and live sound a growth area of the music industry, amplifiers are another key product for Begg’s Music, Grant says.
“We also hope to have live music on the premises from time to time.” Begg’s Music is very much a family concern, with Grant’s wife Cynthia responsible for the accounts and administration, and their three children, aged 12 to 19, and Grant’s parents all involved. Cynthia’s property management business also has its office in the new location. Begg’s Music Outlet Store is located at 53 Brisbane Street, on the corner of Brisbane and Wordsworth streets, with plenty of off-street parking. The South City store will close on October 18 and the new outlet store will open on October 31, and will operate from Tuesday to Saturday.

re 1950’s mechanical watches are needed urgently by the buyers from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd, visiting Christchurch and Canterbury this coming week. Collectors at this stage want brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin just to mention some. These brands can command large prices depending on the condition, what they are made of etc. “Many of the other brands are only required for parts. In any event we will buy any mechanical watch, even if its only a few dollars for parts,” said Tony Grant, buyer for the company.

Big Demand for Military Medals
urrently, throughout the world there is a big demand by collectors for Military Medals. These cover all wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and Women first served overseas in the Boer War in South Africa around 1900 and the Military Medals awarded for this service are needed by the buyers, as are any other Medals from early New Zealand and the New Zealand Wars. General service medals from both the First and Second World Wars will also be purchased, but as can be imagined these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group of medals has any special award for bravery such as the Military Medal, Military or Flying Cross or other medals for Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service, these can add great value to a group,” stated Mr Tony Grant, buyer for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have old medals, some dating back to early Imperial days, that they are not sure what to do with. We will be happy to look at any Military Medals whatsoever, just bring them in to venues,” he said.

heck those drawers and cupboards, you may have a rarity lurking amongst your coins. This advice from Tony Grant, buyer for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations put together before 1950. We will be quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up!

Pharmacy back to normal and meeting
community needs
U
nichem Stantons Pharmacy in the Halswell Shopping Centre moved into its bright and spacious new premises early in April, following the construction of the new retail precinct adjacent to the New World supermarket; however, it has only been since the completion of the car park some three months ago, giving customers access to all the retail outlets, that business has fully resumed, says owner Doug Stanton. “We are now back to the level of business we were at prior to the deconstruction of the old shops and the development of the new precinct. In August and September, we have seen a return to normality, which is very encouraging.” The new store offers an extensive range of both pharmacy and complementary medicines as well as a wide selection of skincare products (both medicated and natural), quality cosmetics and popular fragrances. The team of five qualified pharmacists, who include Doug and his wife Judy, and the three pharmacy technicians provide full dispensary services for customers needing prescriptions filled or advice about their medications. They have also

introduced new professional services at the new pharmacy, which include providing privately funded vaccinations for influenza and shingles. The pharmacy has 15 staff members in total, including full and part-time staff, with the retail assistants having the knowledge, experience and passion to give expert advice to customers on all their health and wellbeing products needs, as well as for skincare and cosmetics. Providing passport photos is also a service currently in demand at the pharmacy. Another new feature of the pharmacy is the two consultation rooms, Doug says.
One of them is dedicated to cosmetic consultation and beauty makeovers, where visiting beauticians and the in-store cosmetic consultants will provide these beauty services for customers, usually with appointments lasting up to one hour. The other room is dedicated to pharmacy consultations and services, where customers can discuss their health concerns and medication requirements in private, and it’s also where vaccinations are administered. “There is an increasing demand for this aspect of pharmacy services, whereby people may be able to obtain an increasing

number of prescription medications from their accredited pharmacist who has approval to supply them, if appropriate, to a customer following a consultation with them. It’s the convenience factor they like,” says Doug. He and his wife have lived in Halswell and owned the pharmacy for 26 years. “As the community has grown and families have grown up around us, we’ve been part of that growth, too. We believe we are now well positioned to meet all the health, wellness and beauty needs of our customers as the Halswell area continues to grow and develop.” Unichem Stantons Pharmacy is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm, and Saturday, 9.30am to 12.30pm.

Author’s first kids book – The Pigeon Express your
LOCAL Achievers
Avonhead resident Juanita Clearwater will have her first children’s book The Pigeon Express published at the end of this month. The Pigeon Express is an actual account of an event witnessed while she was in London on the underground. “I am so inspired by children,” she said. “They have the most amazing open minds.” “They express themselves with so much emotion whether it be happy, sad, angry, playful or excited,” she said. Her mother introduced the family to many great English children’s stories like Famous Five, Secret Seven, Milly Molly Mandy, Little Old Mrs Pepper-
. COMING SOON: The Pigeon Express written by Juanita Clearwater will be available for sale on Friday.
Pot and many more. Ms Clearwater said reading this book with your children we re-join their world and see many wonderful things happening around us which we are normally too busy to see. For her 10th birthday, she was given three Pam Ayers books. Ms Clearwater used in-
fluences from these stories and they helped shaped the way she wrote stories for her own five children. Born in Dunedin, Ms Clearwater was the third of seven children. The Pigeon Express is published by Austin Macauley and will be released on Friday (October 30).

PUPILS’ WORKS PUBLISHED Two Russley School pupils have had their work published in a national student magazine. Year 8 pupil, Monica Koster, had her story selected for publication in the new Toi Toi Student Journal (Issue 1, winter 2015) and an accompanying illustration chosen as the cover for this publication. Her story The Latest Craze was selected from among 500 entries from throughout New Zealand. Year 3 pupil, Charlize Fowler, has had her autumn poem TWIRL published in the same publication. Monica said: “I wrote this story for
the Queens’ Commonwealth Essay competition. It didn’t win a prize for this competition but I sent it to Toi Toi and I was really surprised to have it selected to be published. It’s a real confidence booster to get something published, because you wouldn’t get into the book if you weren’t okay at writing. It was really cool to have my illustration on the front cover too.”
Flame files Running with pan full of burning oil the wrong move THE FLAME FILES BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER
Just a week ago, just after I finished the last column, a young man in Aranui was heating oil on the kitchen stove when it overheated and caught on fire. As I’ve reported many times before, there are some recommended actions that can handle this situation. Covering the burning frying pan to exclude the air is the basis of these. It works. However, in this case the victim picked up the pan and ran for the back door. Now that is not a good idea. There was a mattress propped up in the laundry that he tripped on, splashing burning oil on to it. The mattress caught fire and the intrepid cook had a second issue to deal with. Buckets of water were utilised. The house was saved.
But the victim was found to have burns to his hands and smoke inhalation symptoms. All of which could have been avoided if he only had knowledge of the correct thing to do. Wind-caused incidents are prevalent at the moment with the nor’westers in regular full force. Last Sunday there were several instances of firefighters fixing flapping roof iron down and in Wildberry St, Woolston, the crew utilised chainsaws to remove a tree that had fallen onto a house. The winds are bound to continue for some weeks yet and the nature of the nor’wester is to suck moisture out of undergrowth. So the city will get drier and any fire will spread quickly. Please be careful.

Thursday, November 12 to 14
ould this be the best golf event ever brought to Christchurch? The New Zealand Cup & Show Week Golf Event is a 36-hole tournament open to all golfers from around Christchurch and the rest of New Zealand. This event aims to ‘break the traditional shackles’ of golf club tournaments in New Zealand with an innovative event that engages players, sponsors and golf stakeholders. Most major golf events don’t actually allow their target audience the opportunity to play in the tournament. That’s not the case here, experience how it feels to play Christchurch’s two premier golf courses prepared to international tournament standard with the atmosphere of a big golf event, combined with superb hospitality, major golf sponsors with the latest in golf technology on show and horse racing! The official NZ Cup & Show Week event will be played over two days at the stunning Pegasus Golf & Sports Club and Clearwater Golf Clubs. Whilst this is a fantastic golf event, filled with interactive golf competitions and unique scoring formats, the occasion is as much about the vibrancy of Christchurch during NZ Cup & Show Week and a exceptional experience for those that enter the event. Premium hospitality and customer experience is at the core of this event and your entry fee includes: Two days green fees and complimentary cart hire; one day at Pegasus Golf Club & one day at Clearwater Golf Club played over the 12th & 13th November. At each golf course breakfast will be served both days on arrival, followed by shot gun starts each day. Lunch will be served on course followed by a two hour hospitality package at the completion of each days play. On the evening of Friday 13th players and their partners are invited to Rydges Latimer Square for an evening of entertainment, with presentations from Puma Cobra Golf and Taylor Made Golf and other key stake holders. The evening will also stage the major prize

draw; 5 nights in Las Vegas. Every team that enters the event has an equal chance of winning the major prize. On Saturday the 14th the hospitability continues with entry to the Riccarton Races for the Christchurch Casino Cup in a private marquee village. Everything on the day will be provided including private totes for the odd flutter, live music and catering for the day. Transport to and from the races will also be provided. Offering incredible value, all the above is included in your entry fee. Quite possibly, the only time you need to dig into your own pocket is for the odd flutter. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to play golf and be treated like a pro! Entries are closing soon and strictly limited!

Beautiful smiles
this Christmas season Denture wearers know how important it is to have confidence in the dental technicians who make and fit your dentures. At Dentures Plus on Innes Road, the team are highly qualified and experienced specialists who work to the highest calibre.
T
hey are experts in custom-making dentures and repairs to give their clients a comfortable and natural fit. As well as making full and partial dentures, they will reline existing dentures once they have had chance to settle after the first few months, to give them back their initial great fit so that wearers are again able to smile and eat with assurance. Their expertise also extends to providing dentures that attach to implants, making sure that the whole look is natural and consistent. Dentures Plus is owned by Ryan Carlton, a clinical dental technician who specialises in treating patients directly, and his partner, German-trained Marion Schoenleben, who is a qualified dental technician skilled in the design and manufacture of dentures. The rest of the friendly team comprises practice manager Paulette Dench, who will book your appointments for you and welcome you as you arrive; Nicole Yee, a clinical dental technician whose focus
is on using her technical skills to benefit her patients; and Paula Brickman, who brings years of experience and skills to denture manufacturing. Although many of their clients are referred by their dentists, this isn’t necessary as Dentures Plus welcomes new patients and they can liaise with you and your dentist, or recommend a dentist if you require an extraction. They will make the dentures before an extraction to
help with the healing process. If you want to enjoy the festivities this summer and have a smile to remember in your Christmas and holiday photographs, Ryan and the team recommends you make an appoint with them as soon as possible. “It can take some time for a set of dentures to settle in,” he explains. Denture Plus’ professional and patientcentred approach means they will support you at every stage, and have
you with a natural-looking smile and eating with confidence in time for the Christmas celebrations. To keep your dentures at their best for as long as possible, Dentures Plus also offers a range of after-care products including denture cleaners, brushes and baths. For beautiful teeth and a natural smile, find them at 396 Innes Rd, or telephone (03) 385 5517 for a free noobligation consultation.

Delightfully bold on Huntsbury 3 Runswick Lane, Huntsbury Price: By negotiation
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2-car garage | 191 m2 floor area | 191 m2 floor area | Listing #: RH1129
D
esigned to reflect modern living, architectural designer Philip Bidwell delivers a contemporary and visually exciting family home in the prestigious suburb of Broad Oaks. Adjacent Coronation Reserve, this delightfully bold split-level family home is accessed by a private laneway and features a floor plan that capitalises on the wide open views, while maximising all day sun. Upstairs comprises a light and expansive open plan living environment, incorporating the kitchen and dining area. Featuring large bifold doors, the living space seamlessly expands to include an outdoor entertainment courtyard, perfectly protected from the elements without compromising the view. Beyond the living space you will find a relaxing master bedroom suite with wonderful views, private lounge area, walk-in robe and luxurious en suite with a decadent large bath. Downstairs reveals three bedrooms, bathroom with shower, separate toilet, laundry, huge storage area and double garage with internal access. Overall, this home delivers big on functionality and an ease of lifestyle that many would enjoy. With underfloor heating, heat pump, double glazing and a series of floor to ceiling north-facing windows, this home will provide warmth and comfort all year round. Built at the end of the 2007 earthquake, damage to the property was minor, and with repairs to the dwelling now complete, the home presents with an almost new quality.
Internally the restrained palette of warm whites and contemporary neutral decor never competes with the magical views, and helps to create the ideal backdrop for artwork and furniture. To the exterior, the onduline cladding offers a sense of drama with the sensibility of being environmentally friendly. Huntsbury is the gateway to the most impressive outdoor lifestyle Christchurch has to offer with parks, cycling and walking tracks to satisfy everyone, and found all on your doorstep. Number 3 Runswick Lane offers the perfect lock up and leave sanctuary. Whether you are a family with active teenagers, professionals working from home or retiring into an easy care property with space for the family to visit, this home delivers a lifestyle many would appreciate.

LUSH & DARK
2015 Silver Scroll finalist Mel Parsons plays the Isaac Theatre Royal next month as part of a nationwide theatre tour to promote her new release, 'Drylands'. Born on the west coast and currently based in Canterbury, the indie-folk songstress is a two-time NZ Music Award (VNZMA) finalist for Folk Album of the Year, and a current finalist for the coveted APRA Silver Scroll award. She is well traveled having performed tours and festivals in Australia, Germany, Canada, UK & Ireland, with more travel is planned for 2016. Described as lush and dark, 'Drylands' is Mel's 3rd album, and considered a sonic
side-step from her last two albums, 'Over My Shoulder' (2009) and 'Red Grey Blue' (2011). Joining Mel on tour will be a full backing band plus renowned Kiwi songstress, Julia Deans (Fur Patrol/Adults) who will open the show with a rare solo set.
