Sumner cricketers in fine form – p20Duvauchelle home

wins awardTHe cream of Canterbury’s housing crop was up against the best of the rest of the country on Saturday, in the Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition.

THis 602 sq m, four-bedroom Duvauchelle home won the Outdoor Living and Heart of the Home Kitchen section.

Judges said the home’s dual, semi-

enclosed outdoor living spaces were generous and well-positioned to capture the magnificent views on offer.

Its american oak panelled kitchen finished in high gloss, which included a tropical fish tank, was said to be a standout.

It was one of 10 homes in the greater Christchurch area that made it to the national final of the competition.

STANDOUT: The oak panelled kitchen and tropical fish tank.

WINNER: This Duvauchelle home is well-positioned to capture magnificent views.

BY GABRIELLE STUART

A decision over the $10 million Sum-ner Community Centre and Library has been delayed to allow for more commu-nity consultation.

The city council was due to decide last week which option they preferred for the design of the building.

But several councillors said they did not want to vote on the designs until wider community consultation had hap-pened.

They delayed the decision until that could be done.

City councillor Andrew Turner said the city council needed to work with the community.

“It does concern me that we would be proposing a preferred conceptual design before the joint working group has actu-ally met. We need to take a grass roots approach to these sort of projects.”

An informal survey of about 300 Sum-ner residents has been done, as well as consolation with groups involved.

But a working group of city council staff and community members, which was appointed to look at the plans in de-tail, has not yet met.

•A Sumner Community Facil-ity design workshop will be held on Sunday at the Sumner Union Church Hall from 10.30am to 1.30pm, to look at improvements to draft concept designs. To put your ideas forward, contact [email protected].

SCIRT will be closing Dyers Pass Rd from the Colombo St roundabout to Rhodesvale Tce for three weeks from November 24 while Fulton Hogan crews do emergency wastewater repairs.

Drivers and cyclists will be detoured to Hackthorne Rd. Dyers Pass Rd will still be open to pedestrians.

There will be new traffic flow management at each end of Hackthorne Rd, both where it meets Dyers Pass Rd and at Cashmere Rd to manage these new traffic volumes and encourage as few hold-ups as possible.

This closure will affect residents, daily commuters, racing cyclists and people driving to Banks Peninsula’s bays on the weekends. Residents will be able to access more of Dyers Pass Rd, as far down as Rhodesvale Tce, from the top.

Hackthorne Rd will be busier than usual so bear that in mind if driving there. The road from Lyttelton to Governors Bay or the Main Rd to Akaroa via Halswell are alternative ways to the Banks Peninsula bays.

dyers Pass rd closes for three weeks

THE WOMAN who lost her daughter in a horrific triple fatality smash near Rakaia will give a keynote talk about resilience at the second annual New Zealand tertiary engage-ment summit at the Canterbury University later this month.

Lucy Hone’s daughter Abi, 12, her friend Ella Summerfield and Ella’s mother, Sally, died in the crash.

Dutch national, Johannes Appelman, in Canterbury on business ran a stop sign and crashed into their vehicle, he later pleaded guilty.

Mrs Hone said having lived in Sumner during the earth-quakes and losing her daughter gave her first-hand experience of how community engagement relates to resilience.

“I had learned a great deal about the importance of com-munities for resilience from my masters programme at the University of Pennsylvania. But I had no conception of how the theory played out in the real world until the earthquakes hit,’’ she said.

“Given that I started my PhD three weeks before the Febru-ary quake and was approaching the end of it when Abi, Sally

and Ella were killed, I now have first-hand knowledge and experience of the benefits of close-knit, fully-engaged com-munities.

“We could not have got through these past five months without the amazing generos-ity, kindness, compassion and empathy shown to our family by the Sumner community and also through the wider city where we have all felt so supported.”

“It’s important for people to realise that community involve-ment takes many forms. It’s not just about official volunteering, where you are required to regu-larly commit, some people just aren’t able to do that. But there are so many ad hoc ways to give your time, energy and resourc-es to communities. Whether it is sharing some baking with a neighbour, doing your stint on pool duty, driving friends’ kids

to sport, or having them to stay overnight when the parents are away.’’

Mrs Hone’s husband, Trevor, and his building team gave up their time for free last year to build the local skate ramp for children.

• More than 10 national and international experts will deliv-er key addresses to the summit at the Canterbury University on November 24.

NEW LYTTELTON OFFICE NOW OPEN


First up Melodie, congratulations on your body painting win. How did you come up with the idea?

Thanks – well I had a vision quite some time ago of what I wanted to do, and I’ve always wanted to paint a unicorn. To do it at Cup Day seemed quite fitting. The wig and extra pieces are quite time consuming so that took a lot of extra work, then I was up doing the actual painting since about 2am on the morning. My model, Hannah, actually fell asleep while I was working. We found a half-unicorn curled up in a rug [laughing]. It of-ten happens – you might be paint-ing their back and they’re lying on a table, they just fall asleep.

Wow, so how does the actual body painting process work?

Usually you’ll have a vision of what you want to do, and I use a mix of airbrushing and painting to achieve it. It depends on what texture you need – for this one I used a lot of painting to make it look more like fur, while airbrushing gives a very smooth

finish. With airbrushing I’ll usually use stencils, but most of these need to be hand cut to fit the model’s body. I hand cut around half of my stencils. I mix all my own paints from the primary colours – as well as using black and white of course – and we have to stay away from toxic face paints and the like, so the paints we use are very costly. Some of my spraying was actually coloured hairspray, I’m just experimenting with that. I also like using 3D finishing details like glitter and diamantes. It adds a feminine touch.

What are some of the problems you can come across with body painting?

For Cup Day especially, it’s a ter-ribly busy day and you need con-stant touch-ups to the paint. I did have my airbrush blow up once, so I had to do everything by hand. Another artist forgot their touch-up kit at Cup Day, so they asked to borrow mine. Of course you do help when things like that happen. You also have to be careful with a lot of drunks around. We had a police escort to take the girls to the stage on Tuesday, which made them feel a lot more comfortable I think.

How did you find your model, Hannah Williams?

I met her through a photo shoot actually, and I’ve worked with her a few times since. She was a body paint model for me for Canterbury Collections [at Canterbury Fashion Beauty Week] a few years back, and she’s also a cheerleader for the Cru-saders. She has a real stage presence, she’s a crowd-pleaser.

So why body painting?With all of the artistic things

I’ve done it’s just something I came across. It’s a really fun canvas to work on because the art is so fleet-ing and it doesn’t last. I’m also a milliner, and I spotted quite a few of my old pieces at Cup Day. It was good to see some of the more retro pieces coming back.

You’re very multi-talented then.

I actually run five different busi-nesses, all in the creative industry. I teach make-up and body art as well as photography, fashion and events. It keeps me in full-time work. I studied three years of fashion de-sign and a year of make-up artistry at the design and arts college. I was a bit of a perfectionist, so once I did fashion I wanted to do make-up to complete the look, and even do the photos after that. It’s not that I’m a control freak . . .

So what does a normal day look like for you?

Any given day will be very different. Monday to Wednesday is errands and administration, Thursday and Friday nights I have students to train and Friday, Saturday, Sunday are our big photo shoot and event days.

So it’s always very busy. My co-director Catherine Kaliyati does a lot of the PR and organisation side of things and tries to keep the creations under control. Some-times she gives me a firm word and says: “That’s enough, you’re doing too much!”

When you do get some spare time, what do you like to do?

My day off is Sunday, and I have a four-year-old son Max so I like to spend time with him. Sunday is Max’s day. Most of my friends are associated with my work, so I know a lot of the models and even try to con my assistants into modelling. They love it.

What has been your proudest moment in the industry?

Probably having a finale piece in the World of Wearable Arts. It

was an avant-garde piece in 2008, a bit of a team effort from myself and others.

And what are you working on at the moment?

I’ve got a show for a Christmas party to plan, so it will be 18-hour days for the next few weeks. We’ve also got another body art compe-tition coming up on December 13 too, just to follow on from the Cup Day event.

You seem to have done really well for yourself, what would your advice be to others try-ing to get into the same kind of work?

I know it’s said a lot but just follow your heart and stay close to your passion. It’s hard and very challenging, but it’s worth it.

Colourful painted giraffes are brightening up the Redcliffs Li-brary and drawing visitors inside.

Three giraffes were painted by children from Redcliffs, Mt Pleasant and Sumner primary schools, and will be displayed at the library until the end of summer.

Children’s librarian Nicola Holdaway said they are already generating a lot of interest.

“We have had a steady influx of people popping into the library to see and take photos of the giraffes.”

They are part of the Christ-church Stands Tall project, which has seen hundreds of painted giraffes pop up around the city, encouraging people to get out and about.

Until the end of the school term the library will be open

until 5pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays to give local residents an opportunity to see the calf-sized art forms.

The library’s building consent has been approved by the city council and is moving ahead with its project to relocate a red-zoned house into its original site in the middle of the Redcliffs village, then re-purpose it into a library.

As part of its fundraising for this project the library is hold-ing a book sale in the car park of the Redcliffs Tennis Club on November 30 from 10am-1pm.

It will also be holding a Christ-mas gathering for local children at the library on December 10 from 4.30-5.30pm, with festive stories, decoration making and a surprise visitor. All welcome.

Celebrations come with pools opening

BEFORE: The McCormacks Bay area is going to have a makeover.

McCormacks Bayfacelift under way

This summer’s pool part season will be the biggest in years, with Lyttelton’s Norman Kirk Memo-rial Pool and Sumner’s Scarbor-ough paddling pool opening for the first time since the February 2011 earthquakes.

They will be joined by Waltham, Jellie Park, Halswell and Templeton pools as the 2014-2015 summer pool season hits.

Festivities started on Novem-ber 15 with the opening of Jellie Park and Halswell pools, with Templeton expected to follow on December 6.

City council recreation and sports unit manager John Filsell said there is extra cause for cel-ebration this year.

“The city council’s rebuild team has pushed hard to reopen these three biggies [Lyttelton, Scarborough and Waltham] in time for the summer season, so we’re thrilled to include Waltham and Lyttelton pools in the party season.”

He said it would be a bit of a present to the communities that have been without for nearly four years.

“The welcome-back parties are a thank you for their patience and support.”

The city’s paddling pools

opened on Show Weekend, and Scarborough will follow before Christmas.

Sponsors MORE FM and Streets will be at each party with giveaways, competitions and prizes to keep the children enter-tained. Details of all the summer pool parties will be broadcast on MORE FM (92.1FM).

For opening hours, prices, and further information on the sum-mer pool parties visit www.ccc.govt.nz/outdoorpools

• Norman Kirk Memorial Pool The anticipated December open-ing date for Lyttelton’s Norman Kirk Memorial Pool has been changed to January 23. The delay has been due to more-complex-than-expected ground condi-tions, with 400 cubic metres of ground needing to be dug out and replaced. The Lyttelton Lives On pool party will be held on February 28.

• Scarborough paddling pool This beloved favourite, which has been a familiar sight on Sumner’s seaside landscape, is scheduled to have reopened by Christmas. The Sumner Hub community group is leading a fundraising programme to find the extra money necessary to add some finishing touches to the pool, in-

cluding seating, a shade-sail and trees and plants. The community will host an opening event on December 20.

• The Governors Bay pool is searching for community vol-unteers to help run the pool this summer.

Volunteers would need to do one week blocks of pool water quality checks, pool vacuuming and general housekeeping.

Following the earthquakes, the pool ownership was taken over by the city council which is now in charge of carrying out any repair work on the facility.

A new filter and pump, as well as a small separate pump and filter for the baby pool have been installed.

The city council has also replaced the concrete pool sur-rounds, strengthened the changing rooms and fixed the retaining wall.

The pool has been set up and ready to open but city council requirements mean if there were not enough volunteers the pool will have to be closed some weeks.

Due to the longer season and increased operating costs the price of pool keys will be $70.

For volunteering or any in-formation phone Karen on 329 9005.

BY TANYA JENKINS, AVON-HEATHCOTE ESTUARY IHUTAI TRUST

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust has now officially taken on McCormacks Bay as one of its wetland enhancement projects.

The trust would like to invite local residents to join them in this exciting venture, which will be guided and supported by the city council park rangers division.

The three islands need clearing and replanting, the mudflats re-quire thousands of sedges, stones and rocks removal off the mud, the path needs widening, noxious plants need removing, drains

cleared of rubbish and the like. If you are interested in help-

ing the trust have a look at our Facebook page and follow our progress on this project. Use your search engine and select “McCor-macks Bay enhancement project”.

Here you will find updates and working bee dates. Let’s get together to upgrade this rather neglected wetland to a quality that will encourage the return of a variety of bird species that used to be here to roost, feed and nest.

Living Springs Christian camp and convention centre on Banks Peninsula is protecting the envi-ronment from the turret volcanic summit at the top of the property to Governor’s Bay below.

Chief executive Denis Aldridge says 2.5km of fences have been built and nearly 7000 native seed-lings planted to protect waterways and stabilise slopes.

Living Springs has tapped into Immediate Steps funding offered under the Canterbury Water Management Strategy to restore streams and protect native plants and animals, Mr Aldridge said. The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee paid $41,775 towards fencing and planting including using a helicopter to lift materi-als onto a steep, rocky slope and planting on a recent slip, in 2013-2014.

Living Springs communications manager and landscape architect Wendy Duggan said posts on so-cial media brought plenty of help-ers to monthly planting days over winter including Christchurch Singletrack Club members, Trees for Canterbury, and Environment Canterbury staff. Limited Service Volunteers training at Burnham military camp planted 1000 trees in one day.

A part-time position has been created overseeing planting days and weed control on the 450ha property.

Living Springs’ conservation programme started in 2011 with the retirement of a tributary of Allandale Stream which flows into Governor’s Bay, helped by a $15,000 grant from TransPower. In 2012, lower reaches were fenced then planted with more than $15,000 of ECan biodiversity strat-egy funding.

“There was no epiphany mo-ment, just a gradual change in thinking,” Mr Aldridge said.

Founders started building the camp around 1973 with the aim of spreading the Christian message. They also planted trees which to-day run seamlessly from the camp buildings into original bush.

Farming remains part of the picture, with neighbours recently renewing their lease on Living Springs land where they run sheep and cattle, Mr Aldridge said. This adds to the diversity and intro-duces the thousands of mostly city children who visit each year to farming along with conservation.

Children’s visits to the camp begin with a walk from the beach through plantings alongside Allan-dale Stream then up a bush track passing an 800-year-old kahikatea tree, to their accommodation.

“I want to believe that one day these kids will bring their kids and grandkids for a walk through the

great forests at Living Springs,” Mr Aldridge said.

ECan biodiversity officer Robyn Russ said whitebait spawn in Allandale Stream which collects flow from the three catchments running through Living Springs. Fencing out stock allows the bush to recover and improves habitats for native fish and invertebrates by filtering out sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus.

“The new fences fill small gaps in work Living Springs has already done so this project is a good bang per buck,” she said.

“It’s fantastic that Living Springs is only 20min from Christchurch so people can walk and mountain-bike its trails while gaining an appreciation for the bush and waterways.”

Banks Peninsula zone commit-tee chairman, Richard Simpson,

says Living Springs is achieving the Canterbury Water Management Strategy vision of looking after wa-terways and ecosystems “ki uta ki tai”, from the mountains to the sea.

The $10 million Immediate Steps programme is two-thirds funded by ECan and one-third by contributors including landown-ers, communities and conservation

groups. It is 70 per cent subscribed across Canterbury with $3.8 mil-lion committed to 218 projects. So far on Banks Peninsula, $259,550 has been allocated and $240,450 remains available.

For more information go to ecan.govt.nz/biodiversity or phone the ECan biodiversity team 0800 3254 636.

The Tannery – a stepSince its opening in June last year, The Tannery has become one of the most exciting and well-known developments in Christchurch. Reporter Bridget Rutherford went and spoke to shop assistants and owners.

The Tannery, with its Victorian arcade and vast range of shops has been a hub for activity over the last year, and development is not slowing.

The shopping centre now has 60 stores, with more set to open.

The Tannery owner Alasdair Cassels said the main buildings were now full, but there was another building which could home another three or four stores, but no leases had been signed yet.

He said they would probably be developed next year.

A $400,000 development project would take place on the section of the Heathcote River that runs next to the complex.

Mr Cassels would fund the river project which would include a wharf on The Tan-nery riverbank, a Victorian footbridge and a sculpture in the river.

He said he was very excited about the river developments.

“I think people will see the

river in a different light.”He said the focus was also on

improving its condition.“This is a major issue and

our river deserves better, and we’re committed to reducing pollution and improving water quality; we want to see canoe-ing alongside the bridge we’re restoring.”

The first stage of the car park has been completed, discussions about bus transport options are on the cards, and a two screen art-house movie cinema would open next year.

The $20 million Tannery proj-ect has given young and emerg-ing fashion designers outlets to sell their labels.

The Tannery itself has a rich history with the former tannery buildings on the same site dat-ing back to the 1870s.

Wanderer, a clothing and jew-ellery store, opened a year ago and operates as a work space and a retail store.

The store houses some Christ-church brands like Satisfying Socks and Hannah Claire as well as other New Zealand-made boutique brands.

Designer Yulia Marsh rents the work space and sells her clothing in the store.

She said The Tannery had a lot of potential and provided opportunities for local designers where other places in Christ-

church could not.Wanderer shop assistant An-

nabel Graham said it offered something for everyone and was unlike anywhere in Christchurch.

“It’s small businesses support-ing each other’s businesses.”

She said Australian customers often likened it to Melbourne’s Royal Arcade and Christchurch needed something like that.

Karen Sheridan’s store, Out of the Box, is new to the complex and opened two weeks ago.

She had previously sold out of pop up stalls.

“The Tannery itself is lovely and the space here is great.”

She said it was a good place to open up a business because it was unique and growing.

“I don’t think there is any-where that sells the same things,” she said.

GROWING: The Tannery has been a hub for activity with more stores set to open. PHOTOS: BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

forward for cityThe Tannery is well known for

providing space for businesses which were forced to move following the earthquakes.

The Fabric Store, previously called Global Fabrics, is in the middle of renovations to move into its new home.

General manager Jasmine Cucksey said the original store on Tuam St lost everything in the February 2010 earthquake and had to open a store in Dunedin to cater to its South Island customers.

She said she was looking forward to bringing the store back to Christch-urch and its customers, which is set to open on November 20.

“It was worth the wait.”The Tannery felt like a step forward

for Christchurch, she said.“It has a community feel and quite

a creative feel.”Mr Cassels said the Woolston area

had been depressed, and the sur-rounding suburbs always needed a hub.

“I just want it to be the heart of the Heathcote area.”

He said he loved Woolston and had many years of developing The Tan-nery and the area ahead of him.

“There’s a lot more potential yet.”

• Stage one of the car park has been completed, with this part of the car park tar sealed. The car park would see 230 parks on site and adjacent to the site and would be finished by June. When completed, the area would include taxi and coach parking and five bicycle stands.

LOVING IT: Karen Sheridan has just opened her shop Out of the Box at The Tannery.

TV stars could be in the mak-ing at Our Lady Star of the Sea School, where television crews are filming today for a new show.

Titled Classroom Gladia-tors, the new What Now show involves a team of children involved in several team games – including challenging their teachers.

The show’s producer is a parent at the school, principal John Kane said.

“So the kids are lucky, it’s not their first time on TV.”

It is a brand-new show, What Now researcher Stuart Arm-strong explained in a letter to the school.

“There will be foam, there will be gunge and there will be loads of laughs!”

Mr Armstrong said the school’s challenge scores will be recorded on the leader board, to find out which school has the best ‘classroom gladiators.’

The show is in production, and will be aired next year.

The unique five-star day spa, Beauty at The Tannery, is approaching its first anniversary, and over the last 12 months

it has constantly received positive feedback from clients who enjoy the luxurious body

and beauty treatments provided by the spa’s experienced therapists.

Time to shop for festive fare

The Woolston Market at The Tannery is taking orders now for their succulent hams cured in Cassels & Sons milk stout by

their butcher Steve Marquet (formerly of Cashmere Cuisine).

Many of their other tasty small goods are also beer cured, including a range of bacon cured in Dunkel, milk stout or Pilsner beers from the Cassels & Sons Brewery, which gives the bacon a deliciously distinctive flavour. All the pork products at the Woolston Market are New Zealand free-range pork and they have a range of nitrate-free products.

The market’s Pippi Cassels says they have a strong focus on New Zealand artisan food products from small producers who are

gaining awards, and the shelves are packed with a huge selection of interesting items from around the country.

For example, they have the Fresh As range of freeze-dried fruit segments and herbs, and herb and fruit powders, perfect for adding zing to Christmas cooking and baking.

“The bright colours of the freeze-dried strawberries, plums and pineapples are gorgeous – just like the fresh fruit,” Pippi says.

From Wellington comes Fix & Fogg peanut butter, the Moutere Valley in Nelson is the source of the Moutere Gold range of artisan jams and Christchurch’s Clements Estate and Silver Eye produce quality olive oils from New Zealand-grown olives.

For cheese lovers, there is a wide selection

of New Zealand and international cheeses, all available for tasting so you can try before you buy. Brands include Barrys Bay, Whitestone, Evansdale, Kingsmeade and Over the Moon.

Christmas cakes and puddings are on the way.

The range of cookware, bakeware and kitchen utensils is constantly expanding too, with a number of international brand names in stock. These include Le Creuset cookware, the Lodge range of cast iron pans, skillets and griddles from the United States, the British

Falcon range of enamelware, Tala bakeware and a large selection of rubber and wooden spatulas from France. Uniquely Christchurch is the range of chopping boards made from “earthquake” timber.

Preparing the Christmas fare or shopping for gifts, you will find just what you need at the Woolston Market in The Tannery.

Business owner Tara Harris would like to acknowledge the feedback and thank the local community for its support. She is delighted

that clients are enjoying the tranquility and extensive range of personalised services and therapies offered in this spacious and elegant spa.

“Christchurch really needed a space like this, where people could escape for a while. It really brings you to another place,” Tara says.

“Over the last year, our therapists have

really got to know their clients well, and are regularly welcoming new clients.”

Beauty at The Tannery also offers group bookings for beauty treatments catering for up to 16 people. Tara suggests this would be perfect for corporate Christmas functions, giving staff members the chance to get together and relax after a year of hard work.

“These group sessions are also an ideal way for friends to celebrate Christmas and New Year together, enjoying the beauty treatments and refreshments,” she says.

With summer holidays and festive occasions almost here, now’s the time to book in for those beauty essential treatments at Beauty at The Tannery – individually tailored facials, spray tans, manicures and pedicures.

The Beauty at the Tannery website, www.beautyatthetannery.co.nz, has the full

menu of services and opening hours, and will soon be introducing a virtual tour of the spa. This will take you through the spa’s beautifully appointed facilities, including the beauty and therapy rooms, lounge and consultation areas.

All the pork products at the Woolston Market are New Zealand free-range pork and they have a range of nitrate-free products.

The market’s Pippi Cassels says they have a strong focus on New Zealand artisan food products from small producers who are

gaining awards, and the shelves are packed with a huge selection of interesting items from around the country.

For example, they have the Fresh As range of freeze-dried fruit segments and herbs, and herb and fruit powders, perfect for adding zing to Christmas cooking and baking.

“The bright colours of the freeze-dried strawberries, plums and pineapples are gorgeous – just like the fresh fruit,” Pippi says.

From Wellington comes Fix & Fogg peanut butter, the Moutere Valley in Nelson is the source of the Moutere Gold range of artisan jams and Christchurch’s Clements Estate and Silver Eye produce quality olive oils from New Zealand-grown olives.

For cheese lovers, there is a wide selection

of New Zealand and international cheeses, all available for tasting so you can try before you buy. Brands include Barrys Bay, Whitestone, Evansdale, Kingsmeade and Over the Moon.

Christmas cakes and puddings are on the way.

The range of cookware, bakeware and kitchen utensils is constantly expanding too, with a number of international brand names in stock. These include Le Creuset cookware, the Lodge range of cast iron pans, skillets and griddles from the United States, the British

Falcon range of enamelware, Tala bakeware and a large selection of rubber and wooden spatulas from France. Uniquely Christchurch is the range of chopping boards made from “earthquake” timber.

Preparing the Christmas fare or shopping for gifts, you will find just what you need at the Woolston Market in The Tannery.

Business owner Tara Harris would like to acknowledge the feedback and thank the local community for its support. She is delighted

that clients are enjoying the tranquility and extensive range of personalised services and therapies offered in this spacious and elegant spa.

“Christchurch really needed a space like this, where people could escape for a while. It really brings you to another place,” Tara says.

“Over the last year, our therapists have

really got to know their clients well, and are regularly welcoming new clients.”

Beauty at The Tannery also offers group bookings for beauty treatments catering for up to 16 people. Tara suggests this would be perfect for corporate Christmas functions, giving staff members the chance to get together and relax after a year of hard work.

“These group sessions are also an ideal way for friends to celebrate Christmas and New Year together, enjoying the beauty treatments and refreshments,” she says.

With summer holidays and festive occasions almost here, now’s the time to book in for those beauty essential treatments at Beauty at The Tannery – individually tailored facials, spray tans, manicures and pedicures.

The Beauty at the Tannery website, www.beautyatthetannery.co.nz, has the full

menu of services and opening hours, and will soon be introducing a virtual tour of the spa. This will take you through the spa’s beautifully appointed facilities, including the beauty and therapy rooms, lounge and consultation areas.

The 2014 ChrisTChurCh sanTa Parade

Sunday decemBer 7th

Sumner Cricket Club has had a stellar start to the season with its senior side leading the two-day competition and a couple of players picked for higher hon-ours.

Dan Vann and Tom Gooday were both selected for the Canterbury Metro senior A side which took on Canterbury Coun-try last week.

Gooday, 20, made the side for the first time on the back of a strong first season in senior cricket last year.

Vann, who is also Sumner’s club cap-tain said Gooday deserved to be in the rep side particularly after taking 52

wickets in 2013-14.Vann and Gooday’s side went down

to a strong Canterbury Country side at St Leonard’s Square which included a handful of Canterbury first class repre-sentatives.

Two big names have also made a re-turn to the club this year in the form of Ben Yock and Mike Bevin. Bevin was a New Zealand hockey representative and Yock played first class cricket for Canter-bury in the late 1990s.

The 3A and 3B sides have both started well also and have won five of six games each and sit second on their respective

tables.The junior side of the club has also en-

joyed a positive start to the season with player numbers up on last year.

Sumner had around 60 junior players last year but this season that has jumped to around 90.

Vann said competition for junior play-ers in the Sumner area was tough with tennis and surf life saving being big drawcards for juniors.

He said the club could not sit back and do nothing to attract new players so they have been proactive in getting more players to the club this season.

David Fitch (right) from the Sumner Running Club won the Boulder Bay Classic ear-lier this month.

He won the 10.5km race in a time of 41min 46sec. Rob Howell came in second only 20sec behind Fitch.

In the women’s race Lizzie Spencer powered away from the rest of the field to cross the line in a little over 48min.

Spencer’s time was three minutes quicker than the second placegetter Liliana Braun.

There were 220 runners who competed in the Boulder Bay Classic from Taylor’s Mistake to Godley Head and back.

With such good numbers and perfect weather as well, race director Lisa Brignull hailed the event a great suc-cess. And listening to comments from many of the com-petitors afterwards, those running clearly thought the same.

A kids dash was also held with kids having to chase Mrs Brignull and her husband who were dressed up as clowns.

The original Boulder Bay Classic was first run in 1974 and continued through to the early 90s. Back then the race started at the bottom of Evans Pass and weaved its way up and over to Godley Head.

Last year the event was brought back to life, with the original course being changed somewhat.

The course now follows the stunning coastline views of the Godley Head Track.

The Boulder Bay Classic will be held again in 2015 at the same time of year.

Big names for Lyttelton eventMountain bikers James Minty and Nick Jordan will be lining up again in the Lyttelton Urban Downhill this weekend after a long wait.

Minty won the junior section last year and the overall winner from last year, Cam Cole, who is also from Christchurch, is yet to be confirmed for the event.

The mountain biking event was postponed in March due to rain and a landslide that caused a gas spill at the port.

Other professional riders from the rest of the country and Austra-lia will also line up.

Queenstown legend of dirt and slope style Kelly McGarry will be riding and course designing for the King of Dirt event.

McGarry is famous for his double back flip across the can-yons of Utah, placing him second in the 2013 Red Bull Rampage. He was also an invited rider to Vienna Air King in 2010.

Event organiser Andrea Murray said they were still waiting for a few more pro riders yet to con-firm.

“We understand riders are in their off-season, needing a break, but just in case they want to come and ride we have numbers put aside for them. This event has a definite feel-good factor for every-one in the New Zealand mountain bike community,” she said.

November was agreed on to accommodate the New Zealand pro riders who will have only just arrived back from the gruelling Northern Hemisphere season.

Course designer Nick Sutcliffe has a few surprises for the 1.2km long downhill course on Sunday, as well as the addition of an Urban King of Dirt event on Saturday evening.

Ms Murray said this event is unique in that it is grassroots driven.

“When we began in March 2012 we were aiming to provide a fun course for gravity riders who had been without any tracks on the Port Hills, since February 2011.

“Now the event has a large following. It is very visual and media driven, with a live stream for both events. We have been

determined to keep this a free day out for the 4000 expected spectators.

“Finding funding has its challenges, and we continue to look for a naming sponsor, which will move the event forward into 2015 when we negotiate the joining up with the City Down Hill World Tour,” Ms Murray said.

This year, the Huxster Mountain Bike Trust and event organis-ers thought it better for Lyttelton businesses if they bring spectators through the tunnel for more than one day.

To get to Lyttelton this year, organisers have asked that you consider leaving your car in Heathcote and taking a free shuttle provided by the event organisers or even better, catching the regular service of the 28 or 535 buses from

Northlands or Eastgate. Parking will be available at the

Naval Point Yacht Club for a gold

coin with the free shuttle to bring you to Lyttelton, where parking will be very limited.

BY AARON LOCK, SURF COACH, SUMNER

The changeable weather has been reflected with changeable surf over the past few weeks.

There’s been a swell pop up one minute to be gone again only a few hours later. There have been some great waves around, however, if you’ve been at the right spot at the right time.

The water has been struggling to warm up this month, it’s still a little cool at about 15 deg C but we should see it warm quickly over the next few weeks as long as we don’t get any more freezing southerlies.

The New Brighton Boardriders Malfunc-tion event was held on Show Day. The contest was moved up the coast to Pegasus to score some fun 0.6m waves perfect for the longboard.

Sumner surfers performed well with Luke

O’Neill putting on his usual stylish display to win both open and under-30s event.

Jason Lawn was runner up in the open and won the over-30s. Mark Robbers was second in the over-30s. Steve Andrews was runner up in the over-55 event.

The New Zealand Junior Surfing Squad was announced recently and three Christ-church surfers have made the cut.

Harrison Whiteside was selected for his fourth year in a row and Max Marshal has finally had the recognition from selectors that he deserves, to be included this year. Harrison and Max are joined by Conor McLennan of New Brighton.

The Cape Classic event kicked off the South Island surfing circuit in Westport at Labour Weekend.

The surf ranged from 3m one day to 30cm the next but there where some great waves at times over the weekend.

Josh Thickpenny of Karitane, won the open men’s competition. Bay Harbour area surfers weren’t very well represented in the final for once.

Exit Surf ’s Hugh Ritchie was second in the open section. Mike Willman placed fourth in grand masters and longboard. Aaron Lock was fourth in the masters.

The nor-west, south-west weather pattern looks to continue for the next few weeks at least, as a weak El Nino looks more likely to develop this summer.

Keep your eyes on the ocean so you don’t miss those short lived swells.

WORKING AN irregular shift pattern may cause long-term damage to people’s memory and mental abilities, new research has shown.

Shift work can disrupt the body’s internal clock in a similar way to jet lag, and has previously been linked to an increased risk of health issues, such as heart problems and even some cancers.

To add to these concerns, scientists have now found a link between working shifts and a decline in brain function - especially among those whose shifts rotated between morning, afternoon and night.

In a study of 3000 people living in France, scien-tists found that those who worked rotating shifts per-formed significantly worse in memory and cognitive speed tests than people who had worked regular hours.

The level of cognitive decline seen in people who worked irregular shifts for 10 years was equivalent to six and a half extra years’ worth of natural, age-related

cognitive decline, say re-searchers from the universi-ties of Toulouse and Swan-sea. Precisely how shift work might affect brain function is not fully understood.

Disruptions to the body clock - or circadian rhythm - are known to affect the body and the mind.

People who regularly fly long-haul have been shown to suffer from poorer brain function, thought to be caused by the breakdown of some brain structures, caused by the over-produc-tion of stress hormones.

A similar mechanism may be occurring in people working alternating night and day shifts for a pro-longed period of time.

Shift workers may be more susceptible to vitamin D deficiencies because of

reduced exposure to sun-light. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to impaired brain function by some studies.

In the French study, 1200 participants were followed up in 1996, 2001 and 2006.

One in five had worked shift patterns rotating be-tween mornings, afternoons and nights.

Those who were working or had previously worked shifts had lower scores on memory and processing speed tests than those who worked office hours.

Writing in the British Medical Journal, the authors, led by Dr Jean-Claude Marqui of the University of Toulouse, said that shift workers’ health should be closely monitored. – Inde-pendent

At Sumner’s Back Door Spa, Eva can provide a gentle massage called lymphatic drainage to encourage lymph � ow through

to the circulatory system.“Because the lymph system cleanses our

entire body, symptoms of a sluggish or blocked system can manifest in many ways from frequent nasal congestion, excess weight, cellulite, acne, headaches, infections or joint pain,” says Back Door Spa co-owner Eva Kearney.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic, non-invasive technique of specialised massage to encourage lymph � ow in body. It begins with a � rm massage of the lymph nodes or drainage centres so that they become unclogged and drain properly.

� en the lymph vessels, located just

under the skin, are gently moved toward the lymph nodes so that the � uid can move out. � e massage is “so� and gentle, yet very e� ective”, Eva says. Eva is also happy to give her clients feedback on which nodes are sluggish and show the client how to continue home care if they so choose.

“A light touch is very powerful at moving lymph � uid through to the circulatory system. � e activated lymph system will indirectly a� ect organs such as the liver, kidneys and lungs, stimulating a detoxi� cation process and boosting energy.”

� e range of people that bene� t from lymphatic drainage vary between sportspeople to people post-surgery, particularly post-mastectomy (as lymph nodes are o� en removed and new pathways need to be created), to people simply wanting an energy boost and glowing skin.

Apart from lymphatic drainage, the Back Door Spa team also specialises in colon hydrotherapy, massages and kinesiology.

Back Door Spa is conveniently located at 42 Nayland Street in the centre of Sumner. To � nd out more, there is plenty of information available on Back Door Spa’s website at www.backdoorspa.co.nz, or phone Eva on 326 5152 for a chat. Bookings are essential.

The lymph system isolates and fights infections in our bodies and also absorbs excess fluid,

fat and debris.

MulTI AwARD wINNING puBlISHING COMpANy


BY MARY JAMIESON

Hello everyone.It was an exciting time in

Lyttelton last Saturday when Albion Square was officially opened. A huge crowd was there and it was obvious from the looks on people’s faces that they were happy to see this community area finally become a reality.

Lyttelton Lions have do-nated the very smart notice-board which is there to be used by everyone. Items to be put on the board can be left at the city council office in London St.

Also in Lyttelton we have three giraffes from the Christchurch Stands Tall sculpture trail. I went into Christchurch last week and

hunted some more down. The decorations on each giraffe are amazing, the creativity is mind-blowing. They certainly put a smile on my face. They are scattered all over the city and suburbs so you are sure to come across one.

Lyttelton Lions were hap-py to put a smile on Emma from the youth centre’s

when we presented her with a cheque to cover some of the expenses for the youth camp in Hanmer. Around 40 young people from Lyttelton and Sumner will be attending in February.

Our recent free barbecue went very well and we met a lot of nice people. It is just one way we give back to the community. Thank you to the lovely generous people who gave donations even though the sausages were free. We appreciate your kindness.

The Lions Christchurch Schools Music Festival last month was a wonderful event, we can be so proud of our school children.

Enjoy life before the hectic Christmas rush starts.

Albion square welcomes public

NEW: Albion Square is now open to the public. It cost $2.8 million to design and build.

GARDENING

Growing green beans is child’s playBY TOD PALENSKIGreen beans were a staple for many of us growing up (usually over-boiled with little crunch or nutrients for that matter!). The good thing is this traditional veg is just as versatile in today’s kitchen (think salads with a twist or Asian-inspired cuisine).

The real beauty of the dwarf variety, though, is that, due to the plant’s small stature, it can stand on its own in your garden, with-out needing support from any wobbly tepees. In fact, growing dwarf beans really is child’s play.

I, for one, used to love to get my kids involved in cultivating these flat and flavoursome greens.

Not only are they easy to grow, they’re also fun to harvest.

To get started, pick up some green bean seeds.

Next, start preparing your earth by adding a little lime – this will improve your garden’s pH levels, helping your beans get sprouting. Then simply plant the seedlings about 10cm apart from each other in rows separated by around 30cm.

Don’t fret if garden space is limited at your place; I’ve found they also grow well in pots. All you have to do is fill the pots to the top with potting mix – ideally one with a slow release fertiliser to ensure the best growth for your plants. Then dig a little hole

and plant your seedling. A 10cm diameter pot will fit around three seedlings nicely.

Wherever you plant, don’t for-get to water your beans well and in six to eight weeks you should have a bumper crop. Don’t worry if you end up drowning in beans - you can always freeze them.

Just remember, when you do go to cook them – think par-boiled, not over-boiled!

BUMPER CROP: Green beans are tasty and versatile. They grow without too much main-tenance in the garden or in a pot.

THE BARBECUE is dead —long live the barbecue. As with most cuisines and cooking styles, everything goes in cycles. Barbecues fired us up in the 70s. Then, in the 80s and 90s innovation on the grill cooled. But now barbecuing is hot again.

In the barbecue capital of the world—the US—barbecue restaurants are mushrooming, magazines have appointed dedicated barbecue food writers and long established eateries are updating old favourites and enjoying increased patronage.

Many chefs are slow-cooking meat then flash grilling it to finish. Mixtures of dry spices called rubs have replaced the liquid marinades that tend to burn. Sensational saucy sauces are served on the side. Restaurant rules and regulations have seen the demise of the open-fire barbecue: gas barbecues have become the norm.

The term barbecue originated from the West Indian ‘‘barbacoa’’ method of slowcooking meat

over hot coals. Although southern Americans pride themselves on all things barbecue, new restaurants have sprung up all over including New York (BriskeTown), Oakland (B-Side BBQ), Detroit (Slow’s Bar-B-Q), and Chicago (Green Street Smoked Meats).

I’m not aware of many dedicated barbecue establishments in New Zealand apart from Korean-style eateries and Wellington’s Uncle Mike’s Kansas City BBQ in Jackson St, Petone. Mike Oxley moved here five years ago from LA, where he ran a successful Kansas-style barbecue. His family-run Petone operation is booming and has won several favourable reviews from restaurant critics. Meats are slow-cooked from four to 12 hours, with ribs the favourite.

Although barbecue recipes have become more complicated than a snag on the grill, Kiwis still love ‘em. The recent New Zealand sausage competition provided winners from all over the country, with a beef and blue cheese sausage from Allenton Meat Centre in Ashburton scooping top award. Sausages have come a long way from plain pork. Check out the amazing new combinations at your local butchers and supermarkets.

Addmore salt if necessary plusfreshly ground black pepperand 1 tbsp chopped freshherbs, such as parsley,chives and thyme. Reheatgently, sprinklingindividual serves withgrated cheddar.

WHY DO SO MANY DISHES CALLFOR AN ONION COOKED INBUTTER BEFORE THE MAINCOOKING?

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

onions are golden orcaramelised. Either way it’sworth it if you enjoy tastyfood. You can cut theamount of fat used bycovering the pot while youronion cooks— the lidcollects moisture thatwould normally evaporate,and by returning this to theonion, it avoids burning.

‘‘Whenharvested, theywere keptexclusively forthe Inca kings.

potatoes were first cultivated bythe Incas about 200BC. The jewelin the crownwas the Peruvianpurple potato— royally purpleinside and out.When harvested,theywere kept exclusively forthe Inca kings.And in 18th-century France,

Marie Antoinette made aWorldofWearable Art-type fashionstatement by parading aroundthe countryside wearing potatoblossoms on her expensivedresses.Whenmost of us think of

packet ‘‘chips’’ we tend to thinkof fatty, salty occasional treats.But I was recently pleasantly

surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are

different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between

the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly

common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins. They arealso versatile.We all love thetraditional potato favourites butthis week I’m serving upsomething funky— potatoeswith icecream, in chocolatetruffles, with squid and in agluten-free pastry.

Q A&WHAT IS SPIRULINA?Adark green algae thatgrows on the surface oflakes in parts of the world.Apparently the ancientAztecs used to harvest the

stuff and dry it into cakes,but these days spirulina iscommercially grown thensold in tablet or powderform as a dietarysupplement. Extravagantclaims of its health benefitshave not been proved.Although spirulina doescontain protein andvitamins it is comparativelyvery expensive— it’s betterto spend yourmoney onmeat, milk and freshvegetables.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCEBETWEEN SINGLE, DOUBLE ANDWHIPPING CREAM?Single cream has lessbutterfat and is not suitablefor whipping—we used tocall it “top-of-the-milk”.Double cream is sometimesthickened for whipping andmight contain gelatine anda stabiliser so check thelabel. If it’s labelled creamor whipping cream, you canassume it is an all-purposeproduct suitable forwhipping, pouring orcooking. UHT creamscontain stabilisers,emulsifiers, skimmilk andcream; the “lite” versionwill not whip.
