Decision over BP expansion next week Â&#x201E;Â&#x201E; By Andrew King ST ALBANS residents trying to stop the expansion of a petrol station will know next Thursday whether they have been successful. The group was expecting to find out on Friday if the resource consent BP Oil had applied for had been approved after the hearing was held last month. But there was a delay to the official closure of the hearing, after commissioner David Mountfort said he needed additional information about the application. This meant the decision is now not expected until next Thursday. BP has bought two sections next to the service station on the corner of Edgeware Rd and Cranford St, and plans to build a bigger forecourt and shop there. If the consent is granted it will add four pumps with 12 more car parks. Resident Rob Hull said while he was disappointed, residents had not been notified of the delay, it was not surprising. He said

residents had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;kept in the darkâ&#x20AC;? about most of the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The communication has been shocking,â&#x20AC;? he said. A city council spokeswoman said the city council is not obliged to inform the submitters when the commissioner has closed the hearing. As the consent was only limited notification, only two residents were able to speak at the hearing, however, they submitted a petition with 37 signatures on it, opposing the expansion.

Mr Mountfort asked the city council to present a more specific condition about the spacing of trees along the northern internal boundary. Mr Hull said residents were concerned on the weekend when they saw construction fencing going up around property BP has bought to expand. Objector and resident Kazu Kano said he just wanted the outcome to be known in a timely fashion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good news or bad news, I just want to know,â&#x20AC;? he said.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK A group of residents are not going to take the potential closure of their bank lying down. Bishopdale Westpac is facing closure, but the residents are launching a petition to try to stop it. See page 3 for the article. Interesting article on page 5 regarding residents parking on their own streets. City councillor Jamie Gough is spearheading a bid to get residents’ exemptions so they can park on their own streets without having to adhere to time-monitored signs. Some great photos over on page 12 of Burnside High Schools recent Alice in Wonderland production.

Bank closure would be ‘huge loss’ By Andrew King RESIDENTS ARE fighting the potential closure of the Bishopdale Westpac branch by starting a petition. The Bishopdale and Fendalton Westpac branches are two of 19 around the country that could be closed due to the rise in online transactions. But Bishopdale residents are fighting the closure because they say it needed in the area, especially among older people. According to a statement released by Westpac the closure is because 85 per cent of service transactions are not done at banks. Bishopdale Centre Association secretary Jenny Haig said the suburb has been labelled as a “rejuvenation area” by the city council so not having basic amenities seems strange. “People are not happy and the customers are quite passionate about having a branch here. They are killing it,” she said. “The access is good, there is great parking and a lot of businesses bank here.” Bishopdale Community Trust

development worker Tania Smith said it will not only affect elderly people in Bishopdale but businesses who use the branch to doing their banking as well. Meanwhile, Hamilton Ave Residents Association chairman Doug Archbold said losing Westpac bank was another blow to the Fendalton community, after the Kiwibank and PostShop closed in December and moved

to the Fendalton Library and Service Centre. “There is surprise and concern from the elderly, who are not that technologically-savvy,” he said. Mr Archbold believes they would not just start using the internet because their bank moved, they would have to go further to find another branch that could accommodate their needs.

In Brief SPA CLOSED Jellie Park Recreation and Sport Centre’s spa will remain closed for the next one to two weeks after receiving a positive test result for Legionella bacterium from the Canterbury District Health Board. As an additional precaution, spa pools at the Pioneer and Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centres will be super-chlorinated and tested. REDUCED SPEED Papanui Rd has a reduced speed limit to 30km/h between Innes Rd and Bealey Ave until September 30. The reduction is due to trenchwork being carried out. The lanes have also been shifted, but both remain open, to accommodate the work. Delays can be expected. SKI FIELD SALE Disabled Snowsports Canterbury is hosting a fundraiser so it can continue to enable Cantabrians with disabilities to try out snow sports. The not-for-profit organisation teamed up with 15 ski fields in the south island to give out ‘bargain books’. The books are ski field passes and are $110 for first one, $90 for subsequent.

Your Local Views Anti-fluoridation argument doesn’t ‘hold much water’ Nick King responds to last week’s opinion piece by John Verd about the dangers of water fluoridation in Christchurch With respect John, I think your passion for the well-being of others is admirable but, in this case, misguided. To suffer a ‘toxic dose’ of fluoride, at the current safe and recommended level you’d have to guzzle 25 gallons of water. You’d die from hyperhydration first. Sola dosis facit venenum – the dose makes the poison. You quote Hirzy and Connett as if that adds weight to the antifluoride argument. They are not respected in their field, nor do they speak for the (United States) Environmental Protection Agency. And they’re at odds with their peers and mountains of research. I suspect these ‘studies’ are the well-known ‘Chinese studies’, popular among conspiracy theorists and widely discredited. Fifty poor studies versus thousands

of more robust studies does not make a solid case. The Chinese studies fail to acknowledge the higher than recommended levels of fluoride and other chemicals (also other factors that may contribute to lower IQ), including arsenic and iodine – iodine being a good example of “beneficial in small doses, dangerous in higher doses”. The dose makes the poison. Even if it is a by-product of an industrial process, so what? Lots of things are. We call it recycling. It’s safe at the levels required to be beneficial to teeth. Sure, it might be classed as a hazardous product which, of course, it will be if you’re counting it by the truck load. Hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive, but is also produced naturally by your own body. There’s arsenic in rice.

Readers respond to last week’s opinion piece by John Verd about fluoridated water Pam Webber, Middleton I agree with you. (It’s) abhorrent that they intend ruining our beautiful Christchurch water. Keep up the good work.

The dose makes the poison. I’m all for questioning and challenging the status-quo – things go stale if we don’t. But scaring people with sciencey-sounding rhetoric isn’t very helpful, even if your intentions are good. I too have my own reservations about this situation because of Christchurch’s reputation for amazing water, and I have an emotional attachment to that. But the points you covered just don’t hold much water (pun intended) and are potentially unnecessarily scary for people.

Winter Brand Sale 30% off

Ian Orchard, Papanui I won’t be losing sleep over the possibility of fluoridated water until I get some more details which John Verd omitted. The somewhat breathless revelation that hydrofluorosilicic acid (more properly Hexafluorosilicic acid) is a by-product of the fertiliser industry isn’t particularly relevant. Like sausages, lots of ingredients in food come from pathways that we prefer not to know about, without being in any way hazardous. On the other hand, plenty of ingredients can be dangerous in the wrong concentrations. Sodium chloride and dihydrogen oxide are two classic examples. Sodium bicarbonate, frequently recommended for tough cleaning jobs, is also an essential ingredient in cakes. John makes no mention of the concentration of fluoride ions in treated water. The WTO recommends 1mg/l or one part per million, hardly a toxic

dose for a mineral that doesn’t accumulate in the body. He also omits to mention the ‘elevated’ levels of fluorine required to cause reduced IQ, or whether association is actual causation, or if any of the 50 studies had survived peer review? It’s much easier to scaremonger if you leave out any details that might counter your beliefs. A reader responds to a recent article about construction of the new Northern Corridor project Peter Reid – Bishopdale Good about the pedestrian and cycleway. I presume it will take the same form as the one alongside QE II. Seems odd to have a third lane north over the Waimakariri, but not south. It will ease congestion a bit and, for a while, for rush hour motorists coming into the city until numbers increase and congestion gets back to present levels. Not that I’m against the project. I left Christchurch in 1969, a few years after the original motorway was done. When I returned in 1986, I was very disappointed to find an extension hadn’t been done to the east of Belfast into the city. Have they ditched that silly extra exit off QE II in the vicinity of Hills Rd through a park and across to Innes Rd, or somewhere there, that was proposed a couple of years ago?

News Proposed resident parking scheme moves up a gear By Andrew King RESIDENTS ARE closer to getting permits that will allow them to park on their own street overriding any time restrictions. The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board and city councillor Jamie Gough want to introduce permits so residents can park in their street exempt from restricted time constraints. The board recommended city council staff arrange a briefing where resident permits can be explored and potential solutions found. The recommendation was adopted by the city council at a recent meeting. “Parking restrictions are a necessary evil to promote vehicle turnover in busy areas. But the point of them is not to punish the residents that need to park in front of their own house for longer than the restricted time period,” Cr Gough said. “I think there’s a better way, and it’s pretty straight-forward,” he said. The permit would over rule any parking restrictions on the street outside their property. Russley resident Ken Legat

said the permit was a fantastic idea that will start to give residents the freedom to park outside their properties. “Parking is a big problem, especially for us with the inclusion of the Airport Business Park and its employees needing a space to park near their work,” he said. The permits would be similar to the contractor parking permits Cr Gough campaigned for on behalf of a Holmwood Rd resident.

They allow contractors to park exempt from restrictions in suburban streets. That idea is now being trialled for the next 10 months.

SCIRT programme on the home straight SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls is almost complete and will finish in December. Most of our repairs involve fixing the city’s underground pipe networks with only small amount of our work focused on roads. Our roading work largely involves fixing where we have dug down to repair and replace the earthquake damaged pipes beneath. The result may look a little patchy but we repair roads to a reliable and serviceable standard. The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged roads after SCIRT.

Progress in your neighbourhood • Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and will be completed at the end of the year. • Essential wastewater repairs in Aikmans Road in Merivale have begun and will be completed at the end of the year. • Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and Bryndwr are due to finish next month. • Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the SCIRT team.

Pupils release eels to mark creek transformation

IT WAS a slippery winter morning in Christchurch – but not in the way you’d expect. Pupils from Tuahiwi School released eels and planted trees to celebrate the successful realignment of the Kā Pūtahi Creek. Rich with native life, the creek area in Belfast has been the beneficiary of the upcoming creation of the Northern Corridor roading system. The realignment has been carried out by the city council to allow the corridor, which begins construction in October, to pass over the Kā Pūtahi without the need to obstruct the creek with the creation of special culverts. City council head of transport Chris Gregory said big transport developments like this often led to unexpected benefits on the side. “In this case, the Northern Corridor project has given the city council the perfect opportunity to create two hectares of native forest and riparian planting,” he said. “Importantly, the realignment of the stream means that both people and wildlife will be able to move up and down the stream corridor freely, without any barriers created by the motorway

Our People

Snowboarding and modelling Anneke Stewart is an artist who has spent years travelling and adventure-seeking. Reporter Annabelle Dick spoke to her about what it was like growing up on a deer farm, modelling for one of New Zealand’s biggest designers and how she impressed some of Europe’s most well-known graffiti artists You are an artist by trade, can you tell me about your art and your career? I exhibit at least once or twice a year, I’m always producing artwork. I produce in about 10 different mediums quite prolifically. The style is very much cohesive throughout my work. I’m into reclaimed objects and keeping the integrity of a material. My approach to what I do is consciously create and honour where we come from and where our materials come from. I believe we’re here to look after this beautiful planet. I’m a Reiki master which is like an energy healer so I’m very sensitive to energy and energy patterns. I love what I do. Art is not something I do, it’s who I am and there’s no separation between the two. It’s like breathing I have to do it in order to feel normal. What are you working on at the moment?

I’m currently working on more products and print media on paper so I can make my work more accessible. I’ve just completed the largest commission of my career so far for the Deloitte building in the city centre. It’s a lenticular lightbox which is an animated 3D-type medium so the images change when you walk past. I’m trying to keep my fine art and commercial art separate. On a weekly basis I do art classes where I teach a handful of students – hopefully, by next year I can have more classes. I want to start adult classes next month too. I’m also doing a piece for the BMX park over in New Brighton in spring. Tell me about you family. My father was a deer farmer and my mother has always worked in fashion. When I was in school she sold Pieter’s Modelling Agency which is now Portfolio

CREATIVE: Anneke Stewart with one of her creations.

Model Agency. Then a few years later she started New Zealand Fashion Week. I’ve always grown up with a highly driven and motivated mum doing amazing events.

She’s very down to earth, a hard worker and she’s quite shy. She loves to cook and hates shopping. That sounds like you would’ve had an interesting upbringing, what was life like growing up?

I had an amazing life growing up on a farm. We spent summers in the Sounds at our family bach and in the winter I was always up at Mt Olympus. Spending time on the snow was a big part of my life. I learnt to ski there at three-years-old and snowboard at 16. I actually did my minor at art school in snowboard photography just so I could get up the mountain every week and justify it. I’ve been really involved in the early days of the snowboard industry in New Zealand. It makes me who I am and it makes me tick. Were you ever keen to get into fashion after growing up with a mother who’s highly prominent in the industry? Fashion isn’t something I’ve felt a huge desire to get into, I chose to pursue art which isn’t highly lucrative but I’m working on it. I used to model when I was 15 through to about 20 – but it wasn’t serious at all. I was just learning to snowboard when I got the biggest bruise on my hip. Soon after that happened I had to fly up to Auckland for my first advertising campaign for a New Zealand designer and it was with Helen Cherry.

give way to creating art It was a big deal and I turned up all bruised expecting them to say: ‘Who is this chick from the boonies? What’s she doing?’ Christine Webster shot the campaign and I idolised her as a photographer and here was me this little rookie snowboard model chick. I was mortified. That exemplifies my non-attachment to the fashion industry. I did draw on my photography skills though and I was the official photographer for New Zealand Fashion Week when I moved back to the country. What was school like? I went to Hororata Primary then Selwyn House before going to boarding school at St Margaret’s College. After high school I went to Christchurch Polytechnic where I did a degree in craft design. I actually failed university entrance for art so I couldn’t get into art school on my marks. So I took the year off and snowboarded every day and painted at night and filled up work books so I could get myself in. I then did my post graduate at Elam School of Fine Arts majoring in sculpture. What did you do after studying? I had been institutionalised my

SUNSET: Mandala light box created from an original photo taken near Shag Rock after the February 22, 2011, earthquake. ENTHUSIASTIC: Anneke Stewart on the slopes with her four-year-old daughter Phoenix.

whole life so I decided to move overseas where I spent 10 years. What was it like living overseas? I tried to get art-related jobs but they wouldn’t recognise my degree there. While I was there I got very good at graffiti. My partner of the time was an aerosol artist so I went out to do public walls with him quite often. I was part of a paint jam in Brighton with about 150 graffiti artists from all around Europe and I was one of three girls. They

were watching me paint and asked me how long I’ve been doing it . . . it was probably about my fifth ever piece and they were really impressed. After living in the UK I moved to Morzine, France and I got a job as a photographer. The first gig was at the Arctic Circle up the top of Sweden to an event called The Battle which is legendary in the snowboarding world. I ended up meeting a pro rider from Sweden and we ended up dating for four years.

Why did you make the move back to New Zealand? After the Sweden saga I came home. I became unwell and developed really bad endometriosis. I was close to being booked in to get surgery but I wanted time to get my body strong so I moved to Wanaka. Being a Reiki master I was aware that what was going on could be fixed holistically. I worked with a natural healer and nutritionist for a year and I got rid of it completely without any surgery. You got engaged earlier this year, how did you meet you

partner? When I moved to Wanaka I met my partner Anthony who’s a builder. We lived in Wanaka for a couple of years before moving to Leeston, then to the high country and now we’re in Sumner. We have two kids together – Phoenix who’s four and Knox who is twoand-a-half. After the endometriosis I was told I wouldn’t be able to conceive children easily so my children are miracles. He’s from the Taranaki so he’s a North Island boy but I managed to move him down here because I’m a hardcore Cantabrian.

News Big opportunity for models

UP-AND-COMING: Papanui’s Lucy Wyma, 20.

By Annabelle Dick TWO NORTH-WEST residents will strut their stuff at New Zealand’s most popular fashion showcase in Auckland this week. Rebecca Dore, of Burnside, and Lucy Wyma, of Papanui, will take to the catwalk at New Zealand Fashion Week. Portfolio Model Agency director Mel Radford Brown said the girls are some of the top within the agency and reflects the talent Christchurch has to offer. “This speak volumes of Portfolio Models and the calibre of our models,” Mrs Radford Brown said. Miss Dore, 21, is Portfolio Model Agency’s booker as well as a model for the organisation. This is her fourth time walking at fashion week and she said she’s thrilled to be a part of one of the more extravagant shows of the week. “I did the wedding show last year and it was beautiful. It’s the best show of the week and it’s exciting to be a bride,” Miss Dore said. She has also walked in Australia’s premier event Mercedes-

The young up-and-comer was recently signed to modelling agency IMG International which has boasted the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Miranda Kerr and Kate Moss. Georgia Greig, 19, of Ilam, will accompany the girls in what will be her first appearance at New Zealand Fashion Week.

Miss Greig only just stepped onto the modelling scene a year ago and is excited to show at the event seeing as she didn’t even attend the casting for the event. “It’s pretty overwhelming to be chosen because being a student it wasn’t financially viable to attend casting so I just hung back and let them know I was available to be booked directly,” she said. The models will walk in the BACK AT IT: Rebecca Dore, wedding show tomorrow and 21, of Burnside. Saturday.

Bridal Show

FUTURE DESIGNER

Plan your honeymoon

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School student Gabby Dodd-Terrell is a finalist in the Brother Design Stars competition in the craft category. She will have her bag shown at New Zealand Fashion Week, which started yesterday. The year 11 textile technology student also has a chance to win the People’s Choice Award through the Adam and Eve Show. The competition is now in its third year and encourages students to enter one of two award categories – fashion or craft – for their chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes. The theme for this year’s competition was ‘Shine Bright’. If you would like to show your support and vote www. theadamandeveshow. com/brother-designstars

THE COST and time it takes to organise a honeymoon can often be underestimated when couples are planning their weddings. But at Sunday’s With This Ring Bridal Show, there will be a number of exhibitors there to take the stress out of it. Hello World Travel’s Rangiora and Rolleston branches will be at the show, with a group of experts to talk to people who are looking into the planning. Rangiora branch managing director Liz Ditmer said often people had unrealistic expectations of how much honeymoons could cost. She said people also had to start planning their trips well in advance, and their teams would be at next Sunday’s show to help people do so. “We’re just there to start pointing them in the right direction,” she said. “We can make appointments and sit down with them at a later time to talk in more detail.” This year’s show will have 85 exhibitors ranging from wedding and bridesmaid gowns, photography,

HEARTBREAK FOR MAGS: Villa and St Margaret’s players embrace following the secondary school girls final. PHOTO: GEOFF SOPER

Villa takes hockey final ST MARGARET’S College and Burnside High School both came agonisingly close to taking the biggest prizes in Christchurch secondary school hockey. The top secondary school hockey teams were found on Friday night at Marist Park. After a hard fought season which began at the start of May it was down to just two in the finals of the boys and girls school’s premier league hockey competition. St Margaret’s met Villa Maria College in the girls final. A tight, low scoring encounter saw Villa take the spoils 1-0.

Villa and St Margaret’s finished the round-robin as the top two teams in the competition. St Margaret’s defeated Rangi Ruru 4-1 in last week’s semi-final while Villa topped Christchurch Girls’ High School 3-2. The boys final was played between Christ’s College and Burnside High School. Christ’s proved to strong winning the game 3-1. It was a valiant effort by Burnside just to make the final. They snuck into the play-offs as the fourth qualifier and then upset Christchurch Boys’ High School 2-0 in last week’s semi-final.

Flanker rewarded By Gordon Findlater BURNSIDE HIGH School flanker Cam Russell was rewarded for his efforts during this year’s UC Championship at Saturday’s grand final. Russell was the joint winner of the Philip McDonald Memorial Medal with Shirley No. 8 Cruz Topai-Aveai. Former winners of the medal include the likes of Super Rugby players Damian McKenzie and Mitchell Drummond. The winner of the award is decided by opposition coaches throughout the season. After each game they submit who they think were the top three performers on the opposition side. Russell is in his fourth season with the first XV. He made his Burnside debut in 2013 as a year 10. He was part of the Burnside team that conceded 100 points against Christchurch BHS that season. Now in his second season as the team’s captain, Russell has played a large part in Burnside’s rise in the UC Championship. He scored nine tries last year and has gone one better this year with 10. The flanker now has the chance to help his team win entry to the national co-ed competition which takes place next month. Burnside finished as the top

time for Christchurch BHS winger Atu Manu proved crucial for the champions who survived a late scare after leading 21-15. Shirley co-captain Logan Bell scored with 10min remaining to make it 20-21. First-five Taine Jacobs-Lawson then had a chance to give Shirley the lead, but he missed the conversion.

Teen Tall Ferns YEAR 12 Rangi Ruru Girls’ School student Esra McGoldrick will represent the New Zealand under-19 basketball team. McGoldrick and Charlotte Whittaker, of Rangiora High School, are Canterbury’s two representatives in the squad. The Junior Tall Ferns will play China in two games at Cowles Stadium next month. McGoldrick, 16, represented Canterbury in a third place finish at last month’s under-19 provincial championships. She was named in the New Zealand team at the conclusion of the tournament. McGoldrick should have represented New Zealand at under-19 level last year. However, she missed out on the Junior Tall Ferns tour to China after tearing her ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) during the national under-17 provincial final 12 months ago. “That was terrible. My surgery was in October and I missed out on a lot of stuff, including the tour to China.” “It’s going to be my first time representing New Zealand in front of a home crowd. There’s going to be a lot of supporters – it should be great.” She has previously represented New Zealand at under-16 and 17 level. McGoldrick will play for

BALLERS: Esra McGoldrick (right) and Charlotte Whittaker will represent New Zealand against China.

Rangi Ruru tonight when they host St Andrew’s College in the semi-final of the Whelan Trophy competition. Rangi Ruru qualified for the play-offs after finishing at the top of their pool, with 12 wins and two losses this season. McGoldrick puts a lot of her recent development down to the coaching and support available at the school. She previously attended Rangiora New Life School before making the switch. She will also represent the Halswell premier women’s team on Saturday. They’re led by Canterbury Wildcats coach Lori McDaniel, and are currently third in the Canterbury premier competition.

McGoldrick plays in the centre and power-forward positions. She’s looking forward to testing herself against the best under-19 players from China. “They definitely have height. They have a girl that’s 6”7 (2.04m). They’re also great shooters and can play quick with the ball. It’s going to be pretty intense.” The two games against China will act as preparation ahead of the team’s under-19 Oceania World Championship qualifying tournament at the end of the year. New Zealand play China on September 7 and 8 at Cowles Stadium.

Nurturing new talent and better engaging employees will reach new heights at eStar, as the world class e-commerce platform and leading Christchurch tech company strives to attract the brightest IT professionals. eStar’s outreach activities look four to five years ahead, says Chief Operations Officer Kevin Rowland. eStar ‘lead team’ staff attend careers events, visit secondary schools and recently supported Shadowtech, with two female employees mentoring two secondary school girls for a day. The company is recruiting and will be looking for new talent at Ara Institute of Canterbury’s Industry Expo on 25 August, having previously employed Ara graduates (when Ara was CPIT). Finding the right skills mix for retail IT is challenging, Rowland says. With around 70 staff, eStar designs and develops the software that powers the websites and the online retail systems of retailers including Briscoes and Country Road. Technical skills are of course essential, but ‘soft skills’ such as communication and interaction can really set candidates apart. “When we interview I am always looking for personality. We do a technical test/developer half day immersion and everybody freaks over the fact that it’s a tech test, but if you can do what you say on your CV

then it’s not an issue. You’re in a live ‘dev’ room, with the people you are going to be working with. I not only encourage people to talk to each other but it has to happen because that helps me see what they’re like. “Most people who work in IT are introverts. It’s what makes us good programmers; it’s part of our personality. “It’s OK if candidates are a bit meek, but I have to see some kind of spark. I can throw a stone into Christchurch and find graduates who can do IT. They have got to have that bit of enthusiasm.” To find out more about working for eStar and other leading Christchurch companies visit the Ara Industry Expo and Open Day on 25 August, 2 – 5pm, City Campus and Woolston Campus, Christchurch.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Reclaim your identity When it comes to dentures, Christchurch people have access to world-leading techniques and oral aesthetics right on their doorstep. At his Montreal street studio Lovebite, internationally renowned dental technician Richard Greenlees creates beautiful bespoke dentures with small nuances in the fabrication, colour and shape, and even slight imperfections to create a uniquely individual smile. There is no need for dentures to look false. Richard takes a great deal of satisfaction in making bespoke dentures that look 100 per cent real and natural, personally guiding his patients through the transformation process to craft a smile that reflects their individuality and personality, and recreates their natural pre-denture smile. Not only do Lovebite teeth look real, the whole structure and shape of the patient’s face is transformed with Richard’s top-of-the-line dentures, something he calls his signature ‘denture

lift’. “With appropriate facial support, the facial tissues are brought back into the correct position, the lips are reformed, and beauty is restored,” he says. it is the interior architecture of a Lovebite denture that helps to create a more youthful appearance by recovering the face and skeletal shape that can be lost after years of wearing dentures. As the smile is transformed, so are the patient’s confidence, and the way they feel about themselves. Richard’s vast experience includes 15 years of running his own clinic in the prestigious harley st, London, where he treated people from all walks of life, from barrow boys to the rich and famous, politicians, actors and musicians. his techniques are recognised as

world-leading among his international peers, and he is regularly asked to lecture and run courses worldwide. Miles Cone (DMD, Ms, FACP, CDt), a prosthodontist from Oregon, UsA, said in November 2015: “Richard Greenlees’ craftsmanship is as stunning as it is unique. There is liberation in the calculated imperfection, indeed an asperity that reflects a purely human element.” in addition to dentures, Richard also carries out crown and bridge, veneer and implant work, in conjunction with like-minded dental surgeons who complement his creative and aesthetic work. “teeth are as different as fingerprints and vary greatly depending on a person’s age, sex and race. Dentures from Lovebite reflect this, and are as unique and individual as the people they are made for,” says Richard. There is nothing more satisfying for Richard than to see his patients leave the Lovebite studio with their selfconfidence and identity restored, as well as their smile.

As the smile is transformed, so are the patient’s confidence, and the way they feel about themselves.

FOCUS ON HEALTH

Proven Essential Father’s Day nutrients for Keep Dad on formula combats health & vitality his toes colds & flu Research has shown certain herbs and natural ingredients can dramatically reduce the chances of succumbing to colds and flu. One example of a proven formula is Go Healthy ‘Go Vir-Defence’. Due to the high potency extracts it contains, one or two capsules daily are usually sufficient to keep the immune system at optimum efficiency; however, at the onset of headaches, sore throat, body aches etc. the dose should be increased to one or two capsules up to three times daily. Go Vir-Defence contains: Olive Leaf Extract - a popular ingredient used in the treatment of immune attacks for its strong anti-microbial properties. Garlic Extract - effective in combatting bacteria, viruses and fungi and supporting the immune system. Andrographis Extract - has powerful immune-enhancing properties. Echinacea Extract - a natural antibiotic and infection fighter. Pau D’ Arco Extract - helps enhance the immune system. Citrus Bioflavonoids - work with Vitamin C and support the immune system as well as strengthening capillaries and reducing inflammation. Vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant that helps counteract bacteria and viral infections. Elderberry Extract - provides immune support. Zinc - an essential mineral for the immune system and general health. Vir-Defence is available from Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, phone 388-5757. We are Always Happy to Help!

After noticing patients were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive issues that often led to more serious chronic health conditions, two Australian Naturopaths conducted extensive research. This revealed that although the patients were generally eating good food, they were not obtaining all the nutrients required for good health, with one of the main problems being the digestive system. Also, with the soils crops are grown in being depleted of many trace elements and other essential nutrients, the crops are also depleted. If we do not obtain all the required nutrients, our body will compensate to some degree, but a lack of too many nutrients will eventually lead to health issues. Knowing this, the naturopaths developed Vital Greens, a nutrientdense powdered formula that provides superior absorption and comprehensive nutrition. Vital Greens contains a balanced blend of nutritionally rich

It is gluten, wheat and dairy free, and provides more energy and endurance, better sleep, a more positive mood, improved eyesight and overall better health.

Davis Cup event returns to Christchurch The New Zealand Davis Cup team are heading back to Christchurch to take on Pakistan in the Asia-Oceania Group 1 second round playoff. The Tie is being held from Friday 16 September to Sunday 18 September, indoors at Z Energy Wilding Park. Kiwi Olympians Michael Venus and Marcus Daniell ranked 41 and 58 respective in the world for doubles have been named alongside Finn Tearney ranked 381, Rubin Statham at 444 in singles. If Statham takes the court he will beat Onny Parun’s New Zealand Davis Cup record of the most ties played for his country of 25 ties. It is likely Pakistan will select their doubles expert Aisam Qureshi who is 36-years-old and ranked 48th in doubles. Aqeel Khan is another likely veteran who should be selected. New Zealand lead Pakistan 3-1 in head-to-head clashes. The last time the two sides clashed it was a 4-1 win for New Zealand in Myanmar in 2013 which was abandoned. Christchurch has been the home of Davis Cup ties since 2014, with a win against Chinese Taipei in 2014 and a close 3-2 loss to India

in the 2015 semi-finals. Tennis Canterbury is extremely excited to host yet another Davis Cup tie for the third consecutive year. This is a return to the glory days that has seen Tennis Canterbury host numerous Davis Cup ties against some of the superpower of world tennis. Z Energy Wilding Park is one of the oldest sport venues still in operation in all of Canterbury. It has played host to Davis Cup matches as far back as the 1910’s and 20’s. Much like many of Christchurch’s other most important sporting facilities Wilding Park was severely impacted by the Christchurch Earthquake impacted in both September 2009 and February 2010. The rebuilding process has been a long one. Mixed emotions were felt at the demolition of the iconic Memorial Stands, host to numerous Davis Cup Tie and other International Tennis Federation events. However it was also the first bit of tangible progress in relation to the redevelopment of Wilding Park and proved to generate some real excitement amongst the tennis community. Strengthening work on the facility’s structural

and, in some cases, other sports outside of normal hours. The final stage of development work is scheduled to be gin in the coming month with a completion date of mid November, just in time for the Summer of Tennis. This development will allow Canterbury to again host National Age Group events, International Events and, of course, future Summer Davis Cup ties. steel and refurbishment of the administration and function space erased any signs of the earthquake damage and provided the wider community with some great function space. The final stage of development will see the reinstatement of

six additional outdoor courts, the development of a grassy embankment for spectator viewing and social spaces, including a barbeque area. The facility will continue to be available to the local communities, including school, charitable organisations

Cantabrian Tennis Player USA Bound From the age of 15 Jack’s overall goal in tennis was to gain a scholarship to train, play and study in the United States of America. Through taking part in Canterbury Performance squads since the age of 12, he constantly saw older players being granted scholarships and given opportunities to experience American lifestyle through tennis while gaining invaluable experiences. Seeing others excel in the college tennis system encouraged him to start preparation for enrolment in Fall 2016. In October of 2015, Jack got in contact with John Gardner, the head coach in the Nelson/Marlborough region and his company, Inspire Sports. John’s expertise guided Jack through a comprehensive checklist of what he needed to achieve to reach his ultimate goal of signing with a college that fitted in well with what he wanted. John’s personalised programme was a great help. It began with initial meetings with Jack and his father so John could understand what they were looking for in a college. John then set out a ‘Plan of attack” on how they would

go about getting a contract. They began working together through each stage, which included NCAA registration, skills video, personal website, SAT and GPA results and working through what colleges Jack wanted to contact. Jack believes that it would not have been possible for him to work through everything that needed to be done without John’s outstanding expertise and knowledge. Jack found John’s attention to detail and reliability to be outstanding.

Jack began talks with the coach from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in March of this year. The coach expressed his interest in Jack joining the college team and, after talking through email, the college made an offer for Jack to attend their college and become part of the Savage Storm athletic family. After the initial paper work, Jack signed a national letter of intent, committing Jack to attending the university. Through his years of training,

Jack’s ultimate goal was to get to university. Jack is a self-professed ‘late bloomer’ in tennis. During his junior years, he describes himself as a mediocre player who was always outside the top player category. Through growth, maturity and the help of the Canterbury training programme, he was able to play smarter tennis and achieve positive results. Coaching by Alistair Hunt and Matt Meredith has afforded Jack the opportunity to learn from the best and use their expertise on court, creating a huge advantage. Jack has represented Canterbury in multiple ties including Canterbury vs Marlborough, City vs Country, Canterbury team’s event and also the Canterbury men’s team. In 2015 he won the under 18 Canterbury Championships, a great result to put on his college application form. Jack has always loved the fact that tennis is mostly an individual sport, results are based on a player’s own ability and there are no excuses. Jack has always enjoyed competing in Canterbury Interclub representing his club of Elmwood. He is grateful to Ashley Forbes for giving him the opportunity to play top level tennis in the premiere grade against great players like James Meredith, Remi Fennon and other top rated players in the region. Jack feels that it through playing top level players that he has learned the most, even if it involved losing. During tennis season, Jack trains or plays every day of the week. Each week also includes four sessions of hitting, two fitness sessions and two days of interclub matches on the weekends. During the off season Jack keeps training with hitting three days a week and a fitness session and match play on the weekends.

Over the long term, Jack plans to take every opportunity he can at Southeastern Oklahoma State in order to reach his full potential whilst there, not just in tennis, but also in academic life. For younger players aspiring to play college tennis, Jack’s advice is to never give up. Jack recalls many moments in his time of playing tennis when he thought he wasn’t good enough, or wasn’t able to compete to his full potential. Not

Jack chooses to keep his future goals simple. His immediate goal is to do the best he can to prepare for college and to give himself the best chance of success. For Jack, this means being fit and healthy, requiring him to train as well as he can every time he gets on the court.

being the best player in the region or the nation is not a problem; it’s a challenge. By embracing that challenge, working hard and training, it is possible to shorten the gap between the different levels in order to compete in top level tennis. Have a goal and go for it!

Putting a friendly face on tennis If you were to visit Bishopdale Tennis Club on a Saturday morning, you would find the courts buzzing with people as the junior programme is in full swing. The Kiwi programme for 5-7 year-olds starts at 8:30am, followed by the 8+ junior programme. Players are supported by a host of parents, uncles, aunties, and siblings. At the heart of all this activity is the friendly face of Andrea Stanton, the club’s junior administrator. Andrea has filled this role for the past seven years, bringing a personable manner and professionalism to her role that has created a positive, friendly culture and a highly successful junior programme. For this reason, Andrea has been named Junior Club Volunteer of the Year by Tennis Canterbury. Since Andrea first took on the administrator role, the club has seen a steady increase from seven junior teams to 15. The club currently has approximately 130 juniors. Andrea knows each of them – and their parents - by name. Her warm personality makes her an easy “go-to” person for those involved with the club. She is well organised and committed to her role, often putting in a huge number of courtside hours in support of each and every team. Through volunteers like Andrea, Bishopdale Tennis has been able to develop a very family orientated programme. The club welcomes players of all ages and abilities and offers some of the best facilities in Christchurch. Players are invited to come in for a drink at the club house to get to know other members. Bishopdale Tennis Club is located at 35 Leacroft Street, next to Bishopdale Park. Whether you would like play socially or competitively, come to Bishopdale Tennis Club to meet Andrea and their other friendly volunteers.
