Edgeware residents lose case against BP BALL FOR MADDIE: The money is still being counted for St Margaret’s College student, Maddie Collins, 12, following a ball fundraiser to help her get to the United States for a kidney transplant. About 180 people attended the ball, held at Bangor Homestead in Darfield. She needs $350,000 to get to the US. PHOTO CREDIT: GILBERT WEALLEANS
By Andrew King RESIDENTS OPPOSING the expansion of BP Edgeware have lost their battle – the development will go ahead. Hearing commissioner David Mountfort released his decision on Friday granting the resource consent, saying residents concerns which included traffic problems and impact on neighbouring properties would be “less than minor”. At the July 29 hearing, resi-
dents faced off against BP Oil and its plans to add four more pumps, 12 car parks plus a bigger forecourt. They said the expansion would encroach on the community, affecting the residential feel and look. But Mr Mountfort disagreed. “I do not believe the redevelopment of the service station will cause the severity of effects the neighbours anticipate and will in fact be quite benign,” he said.
Cornwall St resident Rob Hull said their bid failed because they did not have the funds to fight the oil giant. “The reason we lost is we didn’t have the money or time to engage those experts provided by BP and really take them on,” he said. Only two residents were able to speak at the hearing. However, they submitted a petition with 37 signatures on it, opposing the expansion. •Turn to page 8

Tuesday September 6 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
On our front page today, we have St Margaret’s College student Maddie Collins who is battling kidney failure. At the weekend, a ball was held to fundraise some of the $350,000 needed to get Maddie to the United States for a transplant. If you would like to help, head over to Givealittle https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/ givethegiftoflifetomaddie. Our coverage of the troublesome Breens, Gardiners and Harewood Rds intersection continues with Pauline Uhr, 91, recalling cars destroying her fence and even the time four priests rolled their vehicle on Christmas Day (page 3). Finally, look at your election ballots very closely in October – there are two Rod Camerons going for the Harewood Ward, with only a middle initial the difference. If you are intending to vote for a Rodney make sure you get the right one! Hei kona, Shelley Robinson

91-year-old joins call for changes to intersection
By Andrew King AFTER 59 years living on the corner of a troublesome Harewood intersection, Pauline Uhr, 91, has seen it all. Vehicles through her fence, a friend’s car destroyed and countless traffic jams – she even saw four priests roll their vehicle on Christmas Day a number of years ago at the Breens, Gardiners and Harewood Rds intersection. “I told them there must be someone watching out for them,” she said. The intersection has been a serious concern for residents and parents whose children need to cross it to get to school, also for motorists trying to get across it. The Nor’West News reported in April, the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board was looking at an urgent solution, such as a temporary pedestrian crossing, after resident Julie Grant alerted them to the situation.

CHANGE NEEDED: Pauline Uhr has seen most things in her 59 years living on the corner of Gardiners and Harewood Rds – now she says it is time the intersection was changed. PHOTO: ANDREW KING
Cartwright said city council traffic staff are doing everything that they can do to find a solution. “I have confidence in the city council team and while they can’t do it as quickly as we want, they are working on it and it has not been forgotten,” he said. Mrs Uhr said the increase of traffic and the speed vehicles

travel along Harewood Rd is why she believes the intersection needs to be changed, and quickly. “I look out my kitchen window and see all the cars lined up. There is always a small collision out there,’’ he said. She had three cars crash through her fence over the past few years, all of which she
has had to pay for because none of the drivers had insurance. One of them hit her friends car before coming through the fence before resting up against her house. “There was a couple of gins drunk after that experience,” she said. She welcomed a petition started by Shirley-Papanui Community Board deputy chairman Aaron Keown to get lights installed. Mr Keown said it was amazing how much feedback he had received. “I’ve never had this many phone calls and emails on the same thing before,” he said. He said he will gather all his petitions this week and work out how many had signed, before presenting it to the city council. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Does the intersection need lights or can the traffic and pedestrian issues be solved another way?

In Brief FUNDING APPROVED A heritage incentive grant of more than $3000 will be used to help pay for the conservation and maintenance of the war memorial in Fendalton. The memorial, owned by Christchurch Boys’ High School Board of Trustees, was built in the 1920s and dedicated to the 142 former pupils of the school who died during World War 1. The names of the fallen are inscribed on two bronze panels within the monument. The grants were approved by city council’s communities, housing and economic development committee on Thursday. POSTAL SERVICES Papertree Bishopdale will open next month and take over the running of postal and banking services for the area. Papertree will provide Kiwibank services at its shop at 31 Bishopdale Court as well as postal, courier, bill payment and post office box services.

FLAME FILES
Check the heat lamp in your bathroom By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer NOT EVERYONE will be aware that the Fire Service are responding with St John to serious illness incidents. Apparently some people have been quite upset to see a great big fire truck arrive in their time of need, possibly thinking their call has been misunderstood and the wrong service has arrived. That’s not the case. Both services will be sent. Sometimes that means our crew will arrive first. We’re not paramedics but we are all first-aid trained and there are times our crews’ input is utterly invaluable to our ambulance colleagues. Every bit of help might just make the difference. Twenty-one calls this week were in this category, one fifth of all our call-outs. A bit of a blast from the past in Halswell this week, where a three-way light/heat-lamp/ extractor in a bathroom ceiling caught on fire. Some years ago this problem
was more prevalent. New installations require the fan to automatically operate when the heat-lamp is turned on, but previously, and obviously in the unit in Halswell, the heat-lamps could be turned on alone. They tended to overheat the surrounding plastic and sometimes ignite. If you have one of these, check it. If both functions don’t operate together, make sure they are both on every time you use the heat-lamp and consider getting your electrician to make the alteration. Might save some tears. Spring is here. That’s a reason to feel good. Keep fire safe as we head toward another summer.
Readers respond to a recent opinion piece about fluoridation Alastair Watson, Harewood Good to see common sense and a fact-based argument in this anti-fluoridation discussion. I fully support Nick King’s response. As he says, the repeated anti-scientific, anti-medical and passion-filled retorts about fluoridation and health (dental) care do not ‘hold water’. The anti-fluoridation argument has been solidly rebutted and proven fallacious in knowledgeable communities around the world, based on peer-reviewed, detailed scientific studies. Nick made these points well, and indeed the “dose makes the poison”. Another example (among many) is radiation. We’ve all probably had a minute dose of x-rays through beneficial dental or medical diagnostic tests, no worries, yet those in Hiroshima received massive toxic and fatal doses 71 years ago. Let us not deny the dental benefits for our growing children because of being swayed by the deniers and the conspiracy converts about false dangers of the minuscule amounts of ‘fluoride’ in our drinking water, and those who are rankled by governments and city councils carrying out their mission of safe-guarding our water supply and protection for

all. One wonders what the antichlorination proponents must be thinking now in Hawke’s Bay. Do we have to wait until a similar community-wide tragedy strikes Christchurch before we plead for action and our water safety? Thankfully, we should remember the stronger-than-usual chlorine smell in our water immediately post-earthquake. Was John Verd protesting then! Yes, we live in our cherished democracy, which also means we transfer to the elected central administration, the responsibility of particular national, or city-wide, mandates. We should encourage our elected representatives to fulfil their responsibly of taking care of the people. Janice Baardman

We shouldn’t allow fluoridation of our water. There is staggering evidence against water fluoridation. Please educate yourselves on this for the sake of your families. There is a lot of great information on the Fluoride Free NZ website and they are also on Facebook. I totally agree with the article written by John Verd. There is already natural fluoride in water; it is extremely foolish to add more. Fluoride affects the whole body not just teeth. If fluoride works at all, it is supposed to work topically on the teeth, not ingested into the body. There have been many studies where children in non-fluoridated areas have very good teeth. There are other ways of dealing with dental hygiene, and mass medicating everyone without their consent is unethical and undemocratic.

What’s in a name? Two Rodney Camerons vie for Harewood seat By Andrew King HAREWOOD RESIDENTS will have to look closely at their ballot forms – there are two Rodney Camerons standing in the ward. Rodney S Cameron and Rodney D Cameron are two of five candidates vying for a seat around the city council table in October. The only difference is their middle names. Both say they are concerned that voters may be a bit confused about who is who and may vote for the opponent. Said Rodney S Cameron: “I have tried to be as different as possible. I have put my middle initial in all of my advertising and on all my billboards.” Rodney D Cameron said there is the possibility that a few votes could go his opponents way, and vice versa. “It does concern me . . . they can’t put photos on the voting ballots so we have gone with putting in our middle names,” he said.

A city council spokesperson confirmed there would be no photos on the forms. “The voting paper will state the surname name, first names and affiliation,” she said. Both candidates said they hope voters will look closely at their profiles and make an informed decision.
The Harewood Ward is the most contested in the city with five competing for one seat. Former city councillor Aaron Keown, Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board member Faimeh Burke and Harewood resident Brian Gargiulo are also running.
THE CITY’S only surviving 19th-century timber bridge, in Helmores Lane, has reopened after five months of earthquake repairs. Sheep were herded across the 150-year-old bridge in a reenactment of one of its original uses –stock being driven to the yards of the Riccarton market. City councillor Jamie Gough cut the ribbon allowing pedestrians, cyclists and sheep, use of the bridge. Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team used 30 bridge piles, made of jarrah (Australian hardwood), brought from the Waitaki District Council for the cost of a donation, which was a lot less expensive
than importing new hardwood from Australia for the repairs. Using reclaimed timber fit the conservation practice of sourcing material as close as possible to the original for the repair and restoration of heritage structures. Helmores Lane bridge is listed as category 11 by Heritage New Zealand and is the only remaining example of a propped beam timber bridge in Christchurch. Built in 1866, the picturesque bridge spans the Avon River in Little Hagley Park and was originally constructed by barrister and solicitor Joseph Cornish Helmore who owned a 50 acre block on the north bank of the river. He lived in Helmores lane.

Espresso maker by day – world Kay Newton spends her spare time in safety gear speeding around a track on roller skates. She spoke to Caitlin Miles about how she got into roller derbies and her time representing New Zealand at world cup competitions FIRSTLY I have to ask what your roller derby name is? It’s Evilknevil, I picked it because it just worked really well with the fact my name is Kay. Can you tell me why you decided to get into roller derbies? There was myself and a couple of others talking about it one day and we decided to go to watch a practice and see what was involved and it just seemed really fun so we thought we would do it. Can you explain to me what is involved in a roller derby? Well, it’s played on an oval track and you have 14 people from each team on the side lines. But there are only five people on the track at any one time. But
players rotate throughout the game so that’s why there is so many. There is a jammer who is the one designated to score points by lapping people on the opposite team and then the other four are blockers. Most people

can be blockers, you can have any body type really, but jammers are usually a bit slighter built and have good stamina. Jams, which are the sessions, have a time limit of two minutes
as well. It’s hard to explain, but it’s a lot of fun. Are you a jammer? I was for a few years. Not any more though, because we have a lot of jammers in our team so we
need more blockers. Is being a blocker quite violent? I would avoid using the word violent. It’s not as brutal as people think.

roller derby expert after hours There are a lot of referees involved in the game and, if they catch you doing something intentional towards another player that can hurt them, you’ll be given a penalty or possibly taken off. There is only a certain area on the body where you can hit people and that’s not above the shoulders and it’s not below the knees. You can’t elbow people or punch people, or anything like that. It’s like any contact sport, you can get hurt. But I have had worse injuries from soccer than from roller derbies believe it or not. Really? I always thought it was very violent? A lot of people do, but we have a lot of protective gear as well. Have you had any bad hits? None that have made me want to stop playing. I have had a few where I’ve thought, oh, that’s a goodie or that’s going to hurt later, but I’ve always got back into it. Could you roller skate before getting into roller derbies? Yeah, I have been roller skating ever since I was a kid, so I had the skills before getting involved. I thought it would be a fun chance to do something I really enjoyed as a kid. How long have you been

involved in roller derbies? Since September of 2009. I have played for the same team the whole time as well. There were quite a few of us just discovering what roller derby was. Where you nervous before your first game?
It was so long ago now I can’t really remember, but yeah, I think I would have been. I mean who wouldn’t be? I think it’s the same feeling before playing in any sport. I was nervous and anxious, but I was excited too. It’s basically the same feeling

before any game I think. But you practice and train before, so you are prepared for the game. How do you train? I don’t want to give too many secrets away about our training. We practice layouts and tactics and things like that, making sure the team works well and everyone is on the same page. But we have a really strong core team, so we already work really well together. Do you balance work with training? I work for Vivace Espresso. I drive around the city teaching people how to make coffee so they can keep Christchurch caffeinated basically. Has much changed in the game over the years? The rules have changed a bit over the years. Our rules come from the American roller derby league. So when they make changes or alter the rules of the game or safety rules or something, we do the same. So there have been small changes over the years. Have you noticed roller derby change in popularity? I can’t really say if the sport has gained or lost popularity, but our team has always done well. We have had members come and
go for various reasons; they don’t want to do this anymore, or they want to pursue different things, or they decide to have a family, so they come and go throughout the sport, but we always have a great team. What are some of your highlights from roller derby? There have been a couple. I don’t want to blow my own trumpet, but I represented New Zealand at the 2011 World Cup in Toronto and the 2014 World Cup in Dallas. That required a lot of fundraising because it’s not a cheap event to take part in. I was really shocked actually because my team presented me with a cheque to help me out. I cried when they did that. I was really surprised and couldn’t believe they had given me that support. They are some of my really close friends. You’ve got a big roller derby meet coming up as well, right? Yeah, this weekend actually. We’re facing off against Wellington, which will be a really good game. We are currently ranked third in New Zealand and they are number one. We played them previously and they beat us by 150 points, so we really want to redeem that. Really looking forward to facing off.

TWO Christchurch Girls’ High School students have taken gold in a national culinary competition. Emily Perkins, of Hororata, and Bridget James, of Whitecliffs, competed in the National Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge in Auckland last week. The girls took third place and received a gold medal, with a score of 92/100. The pair qualified for the national competition after winning the Christchurch regional final. The competition involved creating four portions of an entree and a main dish in 90 minutes. Hospitality teacher Holy Caird helped them prepare for the competition. Miss Caird said she was proud of how the girls performed under pressure in the busy kitchen. “Myself and the school are immensely proud of the girls, they have done really well.” Miss Caird said.

BP decision •From page 1 Resident Kazu Kano said it would be far too expensive to take the fight to the Environment Court, and when asked if he may move from the area because of the decision he said “possibly”. Commissioner Mountfort said he acknowledged the neighbours concerns. “They presented their concerns clearly and with great sincerity,” he said. BP Oil spokesperson Shelley Brady said the expansion was not to attract new customers, rather improve the experience for those who are currently using the site. “This will mean fewer trucks are needed to visit the site to replenish product [fuel] because we will have larger tanks,” she said. She said BP respected the resource consent process and would make sure the new expansion complied with all the rules. Ms Brady said there is no current construction plan, but expected one in the next couple of weeks.

NOR’WEST NEWS AWARDS: Two north-west students have been honoured with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Awards. Rangi Ruru Girls’ School student Molly Halpine (left) and St Andrew’s College student Katherine Lewis were presented the awards on Thursday by Mayor Lianne Dalziel in front of parents and principals. There were 23 recipients from eight different schools. They included Rangi Ruru, St Andrew’s, Aranui High School, Catholic Cathedral College, Canterbury Home Educators, Ellesmere College, Linwood College and Marian College.

TEAM WORK: Looking for weeds in their green space.
Pupils plant native garden BURNSIDE PRIMARY School pupils have created their own native garden. What started out as picking rubbish up on the school grounds, developed into a weekly weeding and reading session. Teacher Claire Mouat said it was important to teach the pupils about looking after nature. “We are kaitiaki, or guardians of the space. While we are here, [we] learn to work and play in the area with little impact on the native fauna and flora,” she said. She, along with the pupils, have worked together to re-plant
areas, extend the native garden with annual planting to attract more native animals, as well as water and take care of the plants. She said: “We encourage all students to use different spaces for different purposes; to build huts, natural toys [and] imaginative play. [This] includes a sand pit, orienteering, play areas, encouraging respectful use for students of all ages.” Pupil-led monitors and a timetable will be established to ensure they know how to use the native garden as a positive space to enjoy during their own time.
BREAKFAST PARTY: Cotswold Preschool and Nursery held their annual breakfast recently. Geethi Roy and her pupils enjoyed their morning meal in pyjamas. It wasn’t just the pupils who made the most of this opportunity – the teachers also dressed up. They all enjoyed pancakes, fruit kebabs and milo for breakfast.

Big future for Lopas CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High School’s Jack Lopas is a rower with “tonnes of promise” following his world junior rowing gold medal. Canterbury Rowing regional manger John Wylie praised the 17-year-old’s performance, saying he is one to look out for in the future. “He has tonnes of power. He’s got good technique and he is somebody who we believe is going to continue to improve,” he said. Lopas and rowing partner Lenny Jenkins, of Whakatane, won gold in the double sculls final on the last night of the junior championships at the Willem-Alexander Baan Rowing Course in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The gold medal added to five other medals won by New Zealand representatives at the combined junior, under-23 and senior world rowing championships. Former Christchurch Boys’ High School student Tom Clyma got bronze in the men’s coxless four; former Christ’s College student Cameron Smith placed fourth in the junior men’s eight; former Christ’s College student Hugo Elworthy got bronze in the men’s coxless four and Sam Bosworth won gold in the men’s

coxed four. Tough weather conditions in the final race was no match for Lopas and Jenkins who earned the world championship title after fighting hard to come back from third place. The Kiwis were behind Belarus and Germany. But by
the halfway point, Belarus had dropped off, giving Lopas and Jenkins the chance to surge past. They went on to overtake Germany and clinch the gold medal with a time of 6m, 26.19s. Earlier in the year, Lopas won the national under-19 double
sculls, under-18 double sculls, and under-18 single sculls titles, earning himself a trial to represent New Zealand. During the trial, Lopas set a national record for a 2km erg, beating Olympic gold medallist Hamish Bond’s time of 6.03s by almost a half second.

Lifeguard memorabilia sought By Ian Stuart NORTH BEACH surf lifeguards have put their hands up for help. The North Beach Surf Lifesaving Club will celebrate 100 years of service to the community later this year and is looking for former members and memorabilia for its centennial celebrations at Labour weekend. Chairman Roger Smith (right) said the club had contacted former members but many could not be found. “We are extraordinarily proud of our record of never having had a drowning in the patrolled area of our beach since we began patrols in 1916,” he said. “The North Beach community has been incredibly supportive of the club over the years and we are asking locals to help us track down former members.” The club has patrolled the beach every weekend during the summer and carried out thousands of rescues and preventive actions. For further information please phone Mr Smith on 027 366 6195.

News Papanui bungalows hold history By Murray Williams, Papanui Heritage Group IN SPITE of the depression in the early 1930s, the period from 1920 to 1940 saw the addition of a large number of new houses in the streets of south Papanui. Empty lots in Dormer, Perry, Proctor, Mary and Horner Sts, as well as Rayburn and St James Aves were filled with the popular Californian bungalow and its immediate successor the English bungalow. These houses were built of timber – the former had a double gable usually accentuated with wooden shingles. The English variant had a hipped roof rather than pronounced gables and a shallow front door porch. Frederick Halford was a builder who specialised in the construction of these types of houses in both Shirley and Papanui. He built bungalows in Chancellor and Slater Sts and then in St James Ave, a street which was the result of an amalgamation of Park Rd and James Ave in 1924. Eventually, in 1932, Halford built a house at 49 St James Ave

for his daughter and son-in-law in time for them to begin their married life. Halford’s granddaughter, Natalie Wetherall, has happy memories of family life in this house, which was a standard Californian bungalow with two bedrooms and a sun room which was used as an extra bedroom. The original section was large enough to cater for an extensive
orchard. They also enjoyed the facilities at the adjacent St James Park, which was developed after the city council purchased the land in 1924. The park was attractively planted with a selection of exotic trees, most of which still exist. Another powerful memory of Natalie’s childhood was her recollection of the ‘big snow’
of July 1945, when the family awoke to snow piled up almost to the window ledges outside her bedroom. Natalie also recalls the children in the street building carts from cast-off bits and pieces and holding soap box derbies on St James Ave. The relative lack of traffic in that era made this pursuit less dangerous than it would be

today. St James Ave still retains plenty of evidence of the interwar building boom. A recent analysis revealed there are still 24 houses from this period in the street, most of which have been well maintained, although infill development has now reduced the size of some of the original sections.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Effective treatment for many types of pain Complementary medicine is becoming increasingly sought after in New Zealand as people become aware of the many different methods of treating pain and ill health that are available here. Christchurch-based Chinese health practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a method of treatment, which she says has as an immediate affect on a wide variety of pains and health conditions. It is known as ‘acupuncture without needles’. Lan describes it as being similar to reflexology in that the problem area on the body is determined through pressure, but is much more accurate. Trained as a medical practitioner in China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 and began practising acupuncture in 1995. From that discipline she created her acupuncture without needles, and uses it to treat people of all ages with many different types of pain in all parts of the body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, and pain from injury. “For example, the treatment has been very successful for people who have painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan says. Acupuncture without needles is also effective in restoring energy levels, she says.
“As people age their energy is reduced, and this can lead to other health problems. The acupuncture without needles treatment is like the body’s battery being charged up again, so their energy levels are restored, which in turn helps overcome their health problems.” Lan also uses it to treat depression and anxiety, and says it can help with addiction problems as well. “After the treatment the person has no cravings – because it treats the cause of the addiction.” She says the results are immediate, though people may need several treatments, depending on the extent of their health problem, and while it is slightly painful for few moments, everyone can tolerate it. Lan Xiao’s website, www. drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes videos of people whose health problems have been overcome after receiving the treatment. Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 5pm. To discuss your health issues or make an appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 8388.

Essential nutrients Easy access to for health & vitality health & mobility 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 nutrient-dense powdered formula that provides superior absorption and comprehensive nutrition. Vital Greens contains a balanced blend of nutritionally rich vegetables, fruits, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids,
