The project has hit speed bumps on the way, with Environment Canterbury voicing frustration at the city council last year over delays.

Plans for the north bus lounge on Riccarton Rd, have been released. The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board approved the plans on Tuesday. The bus lounges, one expected to go into 114 Riccarton Rd, once home to Paul’s Camera Shop and the other across the

The plans show an area for a takeaway coffee cart, new glazing, glass automatic doors and an illuminated Metro sign. The vote was split at the community board meeting on whether a disabled toilet should be placed in the north or south lounge. There are three toilets in the south lounge. Community board chairman
Mike Mora told the Western News some members at the meeting were concerned people would have to cross the busy Riccarton Rd to get to the disabled toilet. He said the lobby group the Disabled Person Assembly is hoping for a toilet to be placed in the northern lounge. Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck was concerned about how much

This was incorrect. The school had since 2012 been on a three yearly ERO visit which is the normal return time for a school which is operating effectively. ERO is now likely to visit the school every four to five years, which means the school is operating at a very high level. Western News apologises for the error. REBUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team is replacing earthquakedamaged wastewater pipes in Clyde Rd, through to Otara Reserve in Burnside.

New life for ‘bubble’ fountain GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING
The broken down Shand Crescent Reserve “bubble” fountain is about to have a new lease of life – but only for a few weeks. The fountain, known for frothing with bubbles from detergent put in it, has been out of action for about three years. Last week the fountain was scheduled to be switched back on.

And we found during the school holidays a lot of vandalism would happen with the detergents being put in there to make it all froth up.’’ He said the board does want the fountain working because it is a feature in the Riccarton area. A city council spokeswoman said the cost is expected to be about $2000. The full cost would not be known until the work has been completed.

Environment Canterbury is investigating why its widespread bus changes have not resulted in an increase in patronage. We asked readers what they thought of their local public transport. G L Haley: We live on Patterson Tce, Halswell, which is on a bus route. Before the changes, the No 7 bus passed our place, heading towards the city via McMahon Drive, Aidanfield, along Halswell Rd, Lincoln Rd, past the hospital, and on to the bus exchange. My husband and myself regularly took this bus to the hospital for treatment, because of the lack of car parks at the hospital – in fact, there are none! All the Hillmorton High School pupils travelled on this bus too. The closest bus stop to our place always had quite a group of people wishing to travel on this particular bus. Now, for some unknown reason, the route has been changed via a No 125 bus, which travels to Hornby, airport, etc. Not many people in our area want to travel to Hornby. Hence the lack of patronage. All these same people now have to make their way to the route of the orange line (a lot further) to travel in the wanted direction. We have to travel by car to the terminus in Longhurst, leave
the car on the road and travel by the range line to the hospital, which is not ideal, as there is no protection from the weather, as the bus stop is situated in a wide open space. Great on a rainy, windy day. It appears that the original petition regarding the No 7 bus route going to the hospital, which passed our place, has been ignored this time round. Why?
dazzled by the colours used by buses on various routes – green, orange, purple, yellow, red and yellow, blue and white. Enough to confuse us all. I have 17 timetables and have more to get. In addition, not all drivers are helpful, especially to younger people, and we get some rough trips – either poor drivers or else they’re trying to keep to schedule.
Patsy Tobin: No increase in passengers does not surprise. Popular routes were altered or discarded.I went to meetings and put in a submission, as I have used buses all my life. Whether you are a newcomer or an old-stayer, we are all
Ron Knight: I only used to use my car occasionally, because I found the bus did almost everything I needed. Not so now. Like a lot of others, I have used systems where one changes buses at least once during a journey, while I was living

abroad. It can work well, but it needs a large/dense population so that the change to the needed bus can be made with very little delay. Christchurch does not yet have this and the only time of the day it is remotely achieved is during rush hour. I frequently want to bus from Warren Park to Church Corner, arriving there before 10am. It seems odd that I now have the choice of changing buses with the usual waiting times, using one bus and then taking a lengthy walk, or using the car and being there in a fraction of the time. Not forgetting the same hassle on the way home. There will be no prize for guessing how I travel these days.
960 Ferry Rd
June Dobson: This is in response to the item in the Western News. We are still using the [bus] service, but it is nothing like as good as it used to be. Before the changes were made, we were able to get from Halswell to Merivale by using the Metrostar. Now, we have to go into town and get another bus that goes to Merivale – two buses, instead of one. If we wanted to go to Riccarton, the Metrostar would take us there. Now, we have to go to Hornby and change buses – once again, two buses instead of one. The old No 60 bus would take us into town via Sydenham. Now, if we want to go to Sydenham, we have to go into town and change buses. Again, two buses instead of one. If we want to go into town, we have a seven to eight minute walk to get to the nearest bus stop, from where we can catch a bus that will get us into town. Fine if you are young and can walk fast, but if you are older, it is not that easy. Not much fun in bad weather, either. Obviously, the same length of walk applies on the way home. The present service on the No 125 bus from Halswell, going to Hornby after 9.08am, is halfhourly. Not good enough. Halfhourly services should start from about 11am.

Fence approved in bid to stop boy racers ANDREW KING
Boy racers will no longer be able to tear up Burnside Park from next month. Funding for a fence to stop cars getting access onto the playing fields has been approved by the city council and is likely to be installed next month. Cars have ripped up the sports fields so badly that football and cricket training sometimes had to be cancelled. Access was gained through a gap between the trees near Memorial Ave – but now a fence will go in. Around $20,000 a year is spent maintaining the cricket blocks, and the vandals could sometimes do more than $1000 of damage. A city council report presented to the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board last week said staff were contracting out the work with a completion date of next month. Chairwoman Val Carter said it was great to get the project under way. FC2011 chief executive Eddie
UPGRADES: Burnside Park will have a fence installed to protect the sports fields from being ripped up by cars.
Cropley was delighted with the result. “It is good to see some action being taken to stop any future damage. “It won’t change much around the park or have any impact on the residents but it will mean the pitches and fields ripped up by cars,” Ms Carter said. Meanwhile, fitness trail equipment for stage one and two in the park have been purchased. The city council will install

the equipment next month and it includes a sit up bench, push up bars, gym rings, stepper, chin up bars and a vertical ladder. The Commodore Airport Hotel donated $15,000 towards the project and the FendaltonWaimairi Community Board put $2717 for station one and $11,322 for station two from its discretionary fund. There will be four fitness stations around the park at a total cost of around $75,000.

UPPER RICCARTON PLAYGROUND CLOSED A playground in Upper Riccarton Domain has been closed off to the public. Unit manager of parks Andrew Rutledge said the playground is closed while modification to under-surfacing is carried out. The roundabout which has been covered will be reopened between end of this month and early December. WATERLOO BUSINESS PARK NAMES APPROVED The proposed names for Market Ave, Old Works Rd, and Doric Way have been approved by the Wigram-Riccarton Community Board in the Waterloo Business Park. Old Works Rd led to the location of the works surrounding the Waterloo Business park. Doric way will be named after the Doric, the ship that took the first cargo of frozen meat from the Islington Works on July 12, 1889. NAMES APPROVED The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board has approved the names Gallagher Drive and Brydone Rd at the Sir James Wattie subdivision, in south Hornby. The names were approved at the community board meeting last Tuesday. Gallagher Drive was named after Bill Gallagher, a New Zealand inventer who developed the electric fence and founded the Gallagher Group
Ltd. Gallagher Drive was the proposed name on the Main South Rd, running parallel from Sir James Wattie Drive. Brydone Rd was the proposed name approved for the road from Sir James Wattie Drive connecting to Marsh Rd. The road was named after Thomas Brydone, a frozen meat pioneer in the 1880s. Brydone and a colleague earned themselves the nickname the “chilly-bin billionaires’’. FUNDING GRANTED Burnside High School student Eleanor Phillips has been granted $300 towards the costs of competing in the Pacific School Games in Adelaide, Australia from November 21-29. Eleanor has been selected to represent New Zealand at the games. She will be competing in the 1m and 3m springboard events as well as the platform and synchronised events. The funding came from the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board’s youth development fund. HALSWELL CENTRE OPENING TIME Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre is opening on Saturday. The new community centre and library is at 341 Halswell Rd. There will be a number of events to celebrate the opening week. These will include its official opening, a family day, an older persons’ day and facility tours.

Red Maddock
From prison work, Antarctica to Deans Ave precinct volunteer Red Maddock has gone from working on railways to beautifying the area beside railway lines. He spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding about witnessing a prisoner trying to escape, marathons and working in Antarctica What got you into the project of beautifying the eastern side of the Riccarton railway. Well, I was a member of the Deans Ave Precinct Society and once a month they used to have a clean-up of the walkway. It was started before my time by Dr Brian Molloy who got the beautification lease. It was very neglected with high grass and weeds and so on. No one was picking up rubbish or looking after the plants or anything like that. I said to the chairperson at the time I’ll just take over and do it because I retired in 1994. How much work does it require? First of all it took about a whole day a week but now it is only about a couple of hours on a Monday. And of course during that period we were getting
JACK OF ALL TRADES: Red Maddock standing in the pathway next to the railway line he has voluntarily worked on for the past 18 years. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
heavily tagged. But the more I painted over it, the more they tagged it. So quite often, up until a couple of years ago, we were painting over tag, which was a useless job. Fortunately, tagging is not such a problem now. Over the last 12 months or so it has dropped off. Now we put the
murals up and put a substance over them so that if they got tagged we can just wipe it off. That is good to hear. Have you always been interested in gardening? Oh yes, I love gardening. I’ve always done it. My wife and I here at home keep a very nice garden. Not a huge garden but
we overlook Hagley Park. It inspires one working with living things. What has been your favourite volunteering project you have worked on? Mainly this one. We buy the plants, plan out where to put them and then it is a full-time job weeding and purchasing
plants as well. People sometimes pinched them and threw them around but it is not as bad as it used to be, but there was a lot of drinking in the weekends and that is when you get all your problems. That is a dangerous place to be drinking. It is. We used to get smashed bottles along the railway and on the footpath. The police have community constables now that are doing a very good job. What do you think of the flower project along the western side of the railway line? That will be brilliant. I am all for that. Of course, it will be a massive job to do but Mr Clarke seems to have it in hand. It would complement our side. It sure will. So what jobs did you do before retiring in 1994? In my younger years I was working in the railways, starting as an apprentice engineering blacksmith. Later on I was purchasing officer and supply manager at Christchurch Prison. Then I was administrator officer at Waikune Prison in the North Island. And back to that I was a liaison officer for the Government Stores Board.

volunteering You have certainly done a lot. What was your favourite job out of all of them? I would say the stores board because I travelled to Scott Base while doing an inspection for supply systems. Scott Base in Antarctica is a unique place to be working. Wow, that is exciting. Yes, it was exciting and challenging. That was in the 80s so it would be very much changed now. In fact, when I was down there, it was the last of the dogs. You have been all over the show. How long have you been living in Christchurch for? We have lived in this house since 1978. I was working at Christchurch Men’s Prison for 11 years. Did you have much to do with the prisoners? Yes, we did. I was in charge of supplies and industries. Prisoners worked for us. You just treat them like anybody and they do the same to you. Did you ever witness an escape? I used to go for a run at lunchtime on my own. On this particular day I saw a man walking and then he started to run across the paddocks. I decided not to chase and apprehend him.
They just set the alarm and got him back. He turned out to be a weak character anyway. I could have brought him back I think. Speaking of running, I believe you still run half-marathons? In the last two years I was getting too many injuries so I am now into power walking. I do the same amount of training six days a week, up the hills and stall-stepping. I do 1400 of those. Quite brutal. You have lived an exciting life full of changes. What do you do to keep busy? We always go to the library on a Friday – we love books. So that is our social side a part from grandchildren. We have got three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They keep us on our toes. After all the volunteering you have done to make Christchurch a better place, is there anything you would like to change in the city at the moment? In most cases since the earthquake we go to malls. We don’t go into the inner-city like we used to. We used to enjoy going there but it is now dead to us compared to what it was.

South Hornby pupils released their inner heroes last week by doing good deeds around the community. A group of senior pupils were investigating the subject and were so inspired they decided they wanted to try to be good samaritans. First up they went to sing at a retirement village. Teacher Lyndsey McGuinnie said the children organised with Woodcote Retirement Village,
Hornby, to send a choir to sing a range of songs including music from modern, pop, old pop and rock genres. The goodwill did not stop there, though. A group of senior boys organised a “Reach Out’’ week where they collected cans and donated to the Christchurch City Mission. Last week the pupils took the cans to the City Mission and had the opportunity to look around.

Concerns eased, confidence restored by Me2 Denture Studio Anyone who has had a bad experience with having dentures fitted would naturally be fearful about getting new ones fitted – even if their dentures needed replacing. However, a visit to the friendly team at Me2 Denture Studio in Riccarton will ease any concerns a person may have. “For anyone who would like to have their dentures replaced, we will first talk through the process with them to ensure we obtain the best possible results,” says manager Amy Jatoorapreuk. “People can choose how they want their new dentures to look and they can have the character of their original teeth so they look very natural. We are here to help people regain the look they had and regain their confidence,” Amy says. The dentures are made from top-of-the-line materials, with the teeth for the dentures all imported from Italy and the denture plates made up onsite at the Me2 Denture Studio by their highly experienced technician. They recommend that people with dentures have them replaced every five to 10 years and checked every three to five years, as they may need to be

relined. “We provide all services related to dentures,” says Amy. “That includes relining, repairs, and making and fitting partial plates.” The process of custom making and fitting dentures requires four to five appointments over a two to three-week period, and Me2 Denture Studio will work within the patient’s available timeframe. They can also carry out emergency denture work if necessary. People needing dentures can approach Me2 Denture Studio directly, or be referred through their dentist. “We also refer people to dentists. Unfortunately, there are people whose teeth are in poor condition and they have put up with discomfort and the inability to eat properly for a long time. Once they have their teeth removed by the dentist, we can provide them with a custom-made set of dentures, which will greatly improve their appearance, their quality of life and their overall health,” Amy says. Established in November 2014, Me2 Denture Studio is located at 3/233 Riccarton Road. To make an appointment, phone 341 5419

Plus, in the stationery section, there’s a good selection of cards, 2016 calendars and wrapping paper, which means customers can buy their gifts and cards and post them all in the same place,
Robert says. “We’re a one-stop shop, seven days a week!” Halswell Video and Post also offers full NZ Post and Kiwibank services so you can pay your bills, get your vehicle registration and do all your banking during those hours too, he says.

the 4000 titles available. Robert says he and his staff are now settled in their new location where they moved to earlier this year after spending nine months in a portacom. “It’s going well. Our staff and customers are all very happy with the bright, new premises.” Halswell Video and Post will be open everyay right up until Christmas Eve, and Robert and his staff look forward to helping their customers through the busy weeks ahead.

Nicole Du Guay Holistic Yoga.
Nicole Du Guay took up Yoga ten years ago and as her own knowledge and practice increased she began teaching others Hatha Yoga which she now offers at SportsRehab in Rolleston. Hatha Yoga is the traditional and basic form of Yoga that combines physical and mental exercise with a spiritual element. Other forms of Yoga are based on its principles and practices. “Hatha Yoga is more restorative and rejuvenating,” says Nicole who adds that it is great for de-stressing. “Yoga unites mind and body, creating more awareness by linking breath with movement. This slows the body and mind down, releasing stress and tension while improving muscle strength and flexibility.” Nicole covers Yoga therapy and Mindful Meditation in her classes bringing a calming feeling throughout the person. Teaching others has been very rewarding for Nicole whose students praise her patient gentle manner while beginners find her easy to follow

to levels that are uncomfortable for others, or not hearing knocks at the door are all indications our hearing is deteriorating. Tinnitus or ringing in the ears can also be a sign of hearing loss. While loss of hearing is a natural part of ageing, other factors that affect our hearing include hereditary conditions, exposure to excessive noise over time, such as loud music or machinery, certain medications and head injuries. Experienced audiologists Carolyn Gordon and Carolyn Till of Gordon and Till Audiology recommend having your hearing checked regularly to maintain your hearing ability. “Research has shown that if you haven’t had your hearing checked by a professional within the last five years, your risk of mishearing increases by around 23 per cent,” Carolyn Gordon says. “We have also successfully managed many cases of bothersome tinnitus, and highly recommend hearing aids for people with
17
tinnitus who also have hearing loss. Up to 70 per cent of people with hearing loss and tinnitus notice a reduction in their tinnitus when fitted with hearing aids.” Having hearing aids fitted in the early stages of hearing loss will enable you to continue to enjoy communicating with others. It will make you feel more confident in social situations, enhance your quality of life and improve your outlook for good hearing and understanding over the long term,” says Carolyn Till. The audiologists point out that today’s technologically advanced hearing aids are also much smaller and more discreet, so they correct your hearing without anyone noticing you are wearing them. Gordon and Till Audiology offers a free 14-day, no-obligation trial of hearing aids. In most instances, government subsidies and other funding is available when purchasing. To make an appointment, call into 701 Barbadoes St, phone 385 6036 or visit the website www.gtaudiology.co.nz. They also have visiting clinics at Halswell and Leeston.
