Skate park decision soon By Georgia O’Connor-Harding THE CITY council has revealed Knights Stream Sports Park is their preferred location for the contentious Halswell Skate and Recreation Park. After months of controversy and petitions a decision on the location will be made at an extraordinary Riccarton-Wigram Community Board meeting tomorrow. Halswell Community Project spokeswoman Chrys Horn (right) said she was concerned Knights Stream Sports Park is

too far away “shoving young people” out of sight due to the controversy surrounding the skatepark. She said while the area won’t be isolated for long due to the housing development, she did not think it was the best option. “I do feel like it is a little bit like shoving young people out and away from the centre. “The Halswell Domain is the obvious place because it is near

all the sports clubs,” she said. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora said he is concerned Knights Stream Sports Park is too far away from the Halswell centre but has an open mind on both locations. He said he had personally asked the city council to consider installing two skateparks instead of one, one for juniors and other for intermediate-aged young people. A city council report said advantages of the location was the skate park could be co-ordinated

with other proposed facilities like a “learn to ride” bicycle track and basketball facilities. It was the preferred location because noise from the park would be separated from residential area. The nearest residential area is Whincops Rd which is about 190m from the sports park. The news comes on the heels that a third petition against the skatepark being in Westlake Reserve has been presented to the community board. Haley Anderson of Westlake

Reserve presented a petition signed by 204 residents opposing the placement of a skate park in Westlake Reserve. The petition comes after more than 600 people signed against having a skate park established in the Halswell Domain and 800 people signed in support.

NOT ONE, not two, but now three petitions have now been put forth about the controversial Halswell Skate Park. The issues will come to a head this week when the Riccarton Wigram Community Board decides if it will accept the staff recommendation and put the skate facility in at Knights Stream Sports Park. Meanwhile, the Riccarton Neighbourhood Policing team is headed to Aranui, now that it has brought down the amount of burglaries in the area, among other things. But police are promising they are not abandoning the area completely. See the article on page 3. A fascinating read on page 6 about Dr Kate Dewes who is well-known for her fight to keep New Zealand nuclear-free. She talks to reporter Caitlin Miles. Hei kona, Shelley Robinson

News Police team to leave Riccarton By Georgia O’Connor-Harding and Fraser Walker-Pearce THE RICCARTON Neighbourhood Policing team is on the move to Aranui in a bid to address crime in the east, but say they are not abandoning the area. The policing team has been based in Riccarton for the past five years, but will make the move in October, due to a higher crime rate in the eastern suburbs. Police say the team has been successful in halving the amount of burglaries since the Riccarton Neighbourhood Policing Team was established, and have hopes the same result will happen for the east. The team will finish its work in Riccarton on October 1, and then make the move to Aranui, where New Brighton Senior Sergeant Dave Robertson (left) said it will target the high crime rate. “We’re definitely not abandoning Riccarton at all, there will still be community services staff working in that area with

Acting Superintendent Peter Cooper said although the policing team is based in Aranui, they may be back in Riccarton on occasions. “We are reasonably confident now. As always with these policing neighbourhood teams, they won’t stay forever. They are a five-year commitment which is up now,” he said. Senior Sergeant Robertson

said police had discussed the move “for some time”, and decided there was a greater need in Aranui than there was in Riccarton. Acting Superintendent Cooper said in the meantime, there will still be a community constable in Riccarton along with other police resources around the area.

News Ngaio Marsh Theatre set to rise again By Georgia O’Connor-Harding IT HAS been confirmed the Ngaio Marsh Theatre will be rebuilt as part of the new University of Canterbury Students’ Association building. The planned theatre will have 300 retractable seats and, once retracted, there will be standing room for 1000 people. The previous theatre, destroyed due to damage sustained from the 2011 earthquakes, was named after Dame Ngaio Marsh who was a director and patron of theatre at Canterbury University between 1942 and 1949. It was well-used by the university’s musical and drama societies, as well as surrounding schools and various other community groups. In October 2015, a decision was made to demolish the old theatre. Construction of the new $26 million UCSA building, including the new theatre, is set to begin early next year and is scheduled to open in 2019. The demolition of the old UCSA building will be completed next month. The new UCSA building will

The university’s musical theatre society president Clive Antony said the society is saving money for the opening of the new theatre. UCSA president James Addington said the new building will be 51 per cent owned by the UCSA and 49 per cent owned by Canterbury University. The UCSA still needs to raise about $5 million to complete the building and will start a cam-

paign to raise funds. The campaign will officially be launched on August 5-6 when the UCSA hosts a student executive reunion and fundraising auction.

Our People Memorable moments from nearly Dr Kate Dewes has been fighting to keep New Zealand nuclear-free since her early 20s. She spoke to reporter Caitlin Miles about receiving threats for her work, sharing a memorable moment with the United Nations secretary general in 2011 and her plans to spend more time with her family Now that New Zealand has been nuclear free for nearly 30 years, can you tell me why you became involved in nuclear disarmament work? It goes back to 1975. I was a 23-year-old music teacher at Epsom Girls Grammar, and at the time I was about to teach the girls a piece of music dedicated to the survivors of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. I wanted to learn who the victims were and what happened to them and the aftermath of it. I was horrified. I decided I wanted to go back to university and learn about peace studies and nuclear disarmament. Is that when you decided to study in England? No university in New Zealand was offering a course in peace studies. So I had to leave the country to be able to do it. I went to Bradford University to learn more about peace talks, disarmament and what was happening around the world. I lived in Bradford while I studied and then came back here. Why did you decide to come back to Christchurch? Well, I had to. And I was pregnant

with my first daughter so I wanted to settle back here. I also wanted to be able to keep working on disarmament and promoting peace talks within Christchurch and the rest of New Zealand. In 1979, I had my first daughter and became a founding member of the Peace Foundation. I ran the Christchurch office from home. I still do. How was it balancing motherhood and work? It was tough. I have three daughters and I was a solo mum so there was a lot to do. It was really a balancing act. I never had hired help to look after my girls that was part of my job. There were other woman involved in the Peace Foundation so we would take turns baby sitting each others kids when we needed to do things. I slowed down a bit after the earthquakes, though. It was more a case that I had to. Why was that? Our house in Riccarton was damaged following the September 4, 2010, earthquake and all of my work and the paper I had written on nuclear disarmament, and my PhD on peace issues, had to be put into storage so they could be kept safe. It

MEMORABLE: Following the February 22, 2011, earthquake, UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon told Dr Dewes that the people of Christchurch had his support. turned out to be about 120 banana boxes of work. Funnily, they were stored in the Air Force Museum here in Christchurch. You got some abuse for what you

were doing, can you tell me a bit about that? There were some people that were against what we were doing. It was the height of the cold war and we

wanted to educate people as to what was going on. I was getting threatening phone calls about being attacked and some people even came to my home. I remember a photo was taken of me in the paper with one of my daughters sitting on my lap and someone said to me, ‘how dare you travel and work internationally when you have a family!’ I just laugh about it. There was a group that was against our idea of encouraging schools to teach children about peace settlements and things. Someone from the group against what we were doing spoke at a concerned parents’ association meeting in Hamilton. That’s where I am from and my parents were in the audience. During the person’s speech, he called me a communist, not that there was anything wrong with that, but at the time that was a rather weighted word. My parents were in the audience, and my dad stood up and said that I was his daughter and he defended me. That was a really big thing to do. Were there many low points? It was hard travelling internationally and being a solo mum, but I did it. When I wasn’t overseas, I worked from home so I could manage. What do you think are your really big personal achievements? Being a mother of three daughters is a big personal achievement. Getting my PhD was another one. I was working, being a parent and doing my PhD, so I’m really proud of that.

30 years of nuclear resistance

POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT: Former Prime Minister David Lange spoke to Dr Dewes about making New Zealand nuclear-free and not allowing nuclear weapons to enter the country. What about moments when you have had to pinch yourself? There were a few pinch yourself moments with all the people I have met and things we have managed to achieve. I was in the United States when I got the news that the February 22, 2011, earthquake hit. I thought about the house; it didn’t do well in the September-quake so I was worried it would be gone completely. I got all set to head back

Slip into something super

to Christchurch and I called one of my daughters and she said, ‘no mum stay there, you have some important things to do, you need to stay and do it’. So I did. In the morning, I saw pictures the New York Times had of the Cathedral and then I had to go and speak at the UN. We were standing around before the discussion started and someone must have told the UN secretary general where I was from and he came up to me

and shook my hand and said, ‘please tell the people of Christchurch they have my support’. Then he told the whole audience at the UN where I was from and what had happened to my city. I couldn’t speak for several moments. I saw what had happened at home as an opportunity to get my point across. What was the point you were making? If we had a nuclear power centre in Christchurch, the effect would have been devastating. Especially if a tsunami had come through. The rest of the country would have been in a really horrible situation. The Japanese ambassador challenged me on what I said. I had no idea several weeks later I would be writing him letters of support for what had happened following the earthquake that hit Japan. Can you tell me a bit more about your involvement with the United Nations? I was appointed to the UN Secretary General’s Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters as a non-government member, which was great because I could openly say what I wanted and what I truly thought and felt. They had to look at things a little differently because I made them. I was the only female on the Government peace delegation in 1988, too. I think that I presented a really different perspective to the men as well, which was refreshing. I wasn’t paid for my work at the UN though.

AT WORK: Dr Dewes marks on a map the areas that support a nuclear-free New Zealand. How could you afford not to get paid for your work? The UN paid for my flights and accommodation so that helped. I also continued working from home. I taught peace studies part-time at Canterbury University so there was a little bit of money. I re-married so there was a wage coming in. What I could go without, I did. But for me, it wasn’t about the money. I got to sit on the advisory board and provide my input and opinions, which was

why I kept doing it. How did you meet your second husband? I was in Geneva for work in 1992 and Robert Green was at the same convention about peace talks and nuclear development. Robert was the chair of the United Kingdom branch of the World Court Project so I gradually got to know him. I had to convince him to come to New Zealand, as the Government were looking at changing a clause to the nuclear legislation, so I needed to convince him to come to New Zealand to speak and make sure they didn’t change the legislation. When he was in the navy, he carried nuclear bombs so he knows what he’s talking about and I wanted to get him to share his information with New Zealand. Soon I had people sending me money to help get him to New Zealand. What do you think of Helen Clark running for secretary general? I think go Helen. I watched the debate she was in recently and thought she did really well. She has the knowledge and experience for the job and I think she would do really well at it. What are you setting your sights on for the future? Robert and I are trying to wind down a bit now, that’s easier said than done though. I would really like to be able to spend more time with my four grand-children, too.

Children from around Sockburn and Hornby joined in on the fun at the Horizon Holiday Programme last week. Some of the children watched Impact Dance and Stage School perform Disney’s The Little Mermaid and took a trip to the Botanic Gardens. Meanwhile, another group went roller skating in Rolleston.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN

OUT AND ABOUT: Templeton children visited Little Sisters Cafe, created rainbow art and jumped around at Hornby Inflatable World over the school holidays.

ABOVE THE SEA: Tehya Hilton and Adelaide Geldard with Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

INTO THE GARDEN: Mitchell Hawkes climbed a tree at the Botanic Gardens.

Fun filled days CREATING RAINBOW art, going to the theatre and even participating in their own version of the Olympics were just some of the activities Templeton children got up to. The Busy Bumbles school holiday programme is based in the Old School Hall in Templeton. Busy Bumbles co-ordinator Lynette Lock said the children enjoyed days filled with fun and

excitement. Children did the penguin shuffle, and held a ‘Busy Bumbles’ Olympics’. They organised their own opening ceremony, chose a country to represent and competed for medals. The children also played ‘giant games’ before finishing off the holidays with a fish and chips’ Friday and a movie.

LET IT GO: Children in the south-west of the city made the most of the holidays by joining in on a fun karaoke session for lovers of the movie Frozen. They sung “Let it Go” and made masks of their favourite Frozen characters. PHOTO: JASON MARSDEN

SPORTS

Young basketballers’ strong showing TWO BURNSIDE High School players stood out for Canterbury at the under-15 and under-19 National Basketball Championships. Toby Gillooly was named in the under-19 boys’ tournament team and Sila Morris in the under-15 girls’ tournament team. Gillooly, who also plays for the Canterbury Rams, led all scorers in Canterbury’s 94-46 semi-final demolition of Otago. He had 26 points and nine rebounds. “He’s a very strong player in terms of shooting and driving to the basket. Toby got into a bit of foul trouble in the final and that hurt us badly,” said under-19 coach Paul Isitt. Matt Dukes and former Middleton Grange student Sam Lees were also named in the under-19 tournament team. Lees was Canterbury’s stand-out performer in their 73-82 loss to Auckland Counties-Manukau in the grand final. He had 27 points, seven rebounds, seven steals and six assists. “Sam Lees was outstanding the whole tournament. He hustled for loose balls, getting offensive rebounds and taking the ball to the hoop,” said Isitt.

CHASING CHRISTS: Christchurch BHS demolished Rangiora High School 83-13.

Boys’ High push for top

RISING HIGH: Toby Gillooly chases down an Otago player during Canterbury’s 94-46 semi-final win.

Canterbury also had two representatives named in the under-15 tournament team. Sila Morris had an outstanding tournament, helping her team to a fourth place finish in the girls’ under-15 tournament. “She was one of our top scorers, regularly scoring over 20 points a game. She was one of our captains and led the team well,” said under-15 girls’ coach Anita Peckham.

Cashmere High School’s Okirano Tilaia was named in the under-15 tournament team. Tilaia was the stand-out performer for the Canterbury A team that finished 5th at the tournament in Wellington. The under-15 A boys’ team were unlucky to not finish higher than 5th. Their only loss in the tournament was to eventual champion’s Wellington in the quarter-finals.

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High School has continued their push for top spot in the UC Championship with a commanding 83-13 win over Rangiora High School on Saturday. With two rounds remaining Christchurch BHS are in second, two points behind competition leader’s Christ’s College. Burnside High School are one of eight teams in the hunt for the final two top four play-off spots. Burnside’s chances of a finals appearance were dealt a massive blow on Saturday, falling to Marlborough Boys’ College 1720. With just one game and a bye remaining Burnside will have to beat St Bede’s College convincingly this weekend and hope other results go their way. St Bede’s kept their play-off

hopes alive with a 22-12 win over rivals St Thomas. •Results July 23 Christ’s College 33-10 Shirley BHS; Lincoln HS 19-12 Ashburton College; Marlborough BC 20-17 Burnside HS; Christchurch BHS 83-13 Rangiora HS; St Bede’s College 22-12 St Thomas; Timaru BHS 29-17 Waimea Combined; St Andrew’s 51-15 Roncalli College •UC Championship Christ’s College 54pts, Christchurch BHS 52pts, Shirley BHS 39pts, Nelson College 36pts, St Andrew’s College 36pts, Marlborough BC 35pts, Timaru BHS 34pts, St Bede’s College 33pts, Waimea Combined 33pts, Burnside HS 33pts, St Thomas’ 23pts, Rangiora HS 16pts, Ashburton College 8pts, Lincoln HS 7pts, Roncalli College 2pts.

New Hair Salon For Halswell A new hair salon, The Hair Lounge is soon to open in Longhurst. Owner operator, Jenny Little is excited about her newest salon, a sister to Root 57 in Hornby and the Cutting Room in Leeston. Alanna, Cheryl, and Krystal will assist Jenny in offering a professional hair service for the diverse population of Halswell. This will include: cutting, colouring (plus fashion colours), formal hair-up styling for weddings and proms, photographic work, barbering, and even perms and body waving. Value for money hair care for adults and children will be offered, with longer hours for those who work and as an L’Oréal professional salon they will use and sell L’Oréal products. “L’Oréal which launched its first hair colour in 1909 has been a world leader of sophisticated hair colouring ever since. They’re always inventing new products that sustain and maintain hair condition, bringing out new colours, providing inhouse training, and supporting salons with

technical advice,” explains Jenny. “They assist the industry and are strongly involved with New Zealand Fashion Week, styling the models’ hair.” Jenny’s salons can access the L’Oréal collective knowledge on hair issues such as problems with home colouring to determine suitable remedial action that will avoid permanent damage to hair fibres. L’Oréal products are suitable for sun damaged or faded hair with a new Pro Fiber hair programme that repairs the structure of damaged hair, soon to be released. In the salon, Jenny and the team advise clients on hair maintenance and recommend suitable hair products. Whether using the salon’s services, or calling in for product, they will listen and confidentially consult on the best products to use at home. “We’re friendly and approachable, with years of combined hairdressing experience,” says Jenny who has worked around the world including in large companies in England, Scotland, Germany and Cypress.

The team are keen followers of fashion, attending Sydney’s Hair Expo each year to learn about new products and styles. The Hair Lounge is planned to open during the first week in August at unit four, in the new shopping development opposite the health hub, on the corner of Hamill Road and Caulfield Avenue in Longhurst. The salon will be open from Monday to Saturday with late nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you would like to know more about The Hair Lounge or wish to make an appointment, call Jenny on 0212 324411.

Video store moves to smart new premises...

just along the road The enTerTainmenT landscape may have changed markedly over the last two to three years with the growth of online offerings, but there is still a place in the market for personal service – the kind you get in your local video store, believes Darren, co-owner of United Video in Blenheim road. The business has recently moved from 227 Blenheim road to new premises just along the road at 237 Blenheim road, and the customers are very thankful it is still continuing, Darren says. While he describes the move as “difficult” due to the lack of lighting for the first few days, he appreciates the patience customers showed during that time, and is thrilled with his new premises. The store may be smaller, with 40 per cent less rack space, but there is still the same number of titles available. There is still also a large gaming section with games for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Darren and his three business partners established the United Video outlet at 227

Blenheim road in October 2005, with the business taking about two years to gain a foothold in the area. at that time there were three other video hire outlets in the same general vicinity, but they have all since closed. United Video has stayed in business because they offer a huge range of products that people can’t get from downloading or streaming, Darren says. These include smaller releases, art house movies, classics, film festival movies – titles that many film buffs prefer over mainstream movies, and TV series, which United Video also provides. he also says downloading or streaming content to watch on your computer doesn’t present the opportunity to enjoy the interaction, personal service and discussions that you can have with the friendly team at the video store. it is free to become a member at United Video in Blenheim road – to join all you need is iD and proof of your residential

Book now to have new dentures for Christmas While it may seem too early to start thinking about Christmas, anyone looking at getting new dentures fitted before the holiday season starts needs to book in now, says Ryan Carlton of Dentures Plus in innes Road. Appointments are filling up over the next few weeks, and as the process takes several appointments over a few months to complete, people are advised to get in touch as soon as possible to ensure their dentures are settled in by Christmas, Ryan advises. Patients can approach Dentures Plus directly, who will either recommend a dentist for teeth extraction or contact the patient’s own dentist. The dentures are made up before the dentist extracts the teeth, as this helps the mouth heal faster. The professional approach taken by Ryan and his staff ensures that the whole process of having dentures fitted goes as smoothly as possible. Ryan also advises that people with existing dentures should have them checked every two to three years to make

sure they are not starting to wear, which could cause discomfort in the future. This may not be noticeable to the wearer, Ryan says, but a free, no-obligation check-up will determine if the dentures need some attention, or even replacing. The team at Dentures Plus specialise in all aspects of denture work – from making and fitting for first-time wearers, relining, which is done after the first few months to make sure the new dentures are fitting correctly, through to providing dentures that clip on to implants, and full replacement dentures. They provide full follow-up care to patients and also supply a range of products for denture care. These include denture cleaners, brushes and denture baths for soaking the dentures. Ryan recommends Caldent denture cleaner, as it is non-abrasive and effectively removes stains, calculus and plaque. Dentures Plus, 396 innes Road, is open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm and Friday 8am-2pm. to make an appointment, phone 385 5517.

Varicose veins treated quickly and effectively Transform CliniC in mandeville street riccarton boasts a team of dedicated professionals, who include the clinic’s doctor, ian little, registered nurses and qualified beauty therapists, providing a wide range of appearance medicine and beauty therapy treatments for their clients. one of their main specialties is nonsurgical varicose vein removal. This is a simple, quick and effective walk-in walk-out treatment with no time off work required. Clients seeking advice about their varicose veins first undergo a free assessment, which enables the health professional to determine if they need treatment, and if so, what the most appropriate type would be. Two methods are offered – endo-venous laser treatment, which is used for both smaller and larger veins, and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy. following the treatment, clients need to wear support stockings for two weeks. international travel is not recommended for four weeks after treatment. Transform Clinic has an affiliation with health provider southern Cross and relationships with several other health insurance companies, which means clients may be covered for varicose vein treatment, providing it is included in their policy. appearance medicine is another key aspect of Transform Clinic’s therapy options, with skin rejuvenation and skintightening treatments designed to improve skin quality as well as enhance self-esteem.

Treatments include the Vampire face lift, which uses Platelet rich Plasma or PrP, and fraxel laser treatment. These treatments can be combined to achieve the desired results. sclerotherapy is also used to remove superficial veins on the legs and face. in addition, the clinic offers mole mapping, mole removal and primary skin cancer removal. The Transform Clinic website, www.transformclinic.co.nz, has a wealth of information on the various treatments and regularly has special offers and promotions. They also suggest you ‘like’ their facebook page, to keep up to date with what they are offering. The Transform Clinic is discreetly located at 52a mandeville street. opening hours are monday to friday from 8.30am, with late nights on Tuesday and Thursday, and saturday from 9am to 3pm.
