By Emily O’Connell AFTER THREE years of planning, all detailed design and specifications have been completed for the two proposed skate parks in Halswell. The parks, which will be in Halswell Domain and Knights Stream Park, will be skate-ready by January. City council head of parks Brent Smith said they won’t release costs of the parks due to commercial sensitivities ahead of the tendering process. “The funding comes from two areas. One being parks capital funding for Halswell Domain so this is shown in the Annual Plan, and the other funding for Knights Stream Park is from development contributions for the subdivision,” Mr Smith said. City councillor Vicki Buck said it was important to have the skate parks because children are so important in communities. “You’re building communities for all of the population, and you need to remember what children want to do,” Cr Buck said. But some residents weren’t so pleased with the noise and antisocial behaviour the skate parks may attract. •Turn to page 7

FROM THE REPORTER’S DESK
THE TWO proposed Halswell skate parks are going to make a big difference in the community. As you’ll read on page 1, some neighbours have opposed the skate parks, saying they don’t want the anti-social behaviour near their houses. This is a fair call, but putting a facility like a skate park in a residential area is not only something children want but something they need. It’s a good chance for children to get off their devices and do some exercise. The parks also provide children with an opportunity to socialise with their neighbours. The days of walking over to your neighbour’s house to play together seem to be a thing of the past because children are too distracted by technology. – Emily O’Connell

More jobs to be created in Hornby ABOUT 40 new jobs will be created in Hornby when a 28,551 sq m supermarket distribution centre is built. The Foodstuffs temperaturecontrolled building in Hickory Pl will be completed in March 2019. The first stage is expected to be open in August next year. The centre will offer between 30 to 40 new jobs in order picking, inventory control, forklift drivers and truck drivers. Foodstuffs bought the land in 2010, started planning in 2014 and are expecting the first stage to be complete in August 2018. With all work on the centre due to be completed in March 2019. “Our existing temperaturecontrolled facility is struggling to keep up with demand – particularly in peak trading periods,” Foodstuffs South Island chief executive officer Steve Anderson said. “This new facility will increase our chiller capacity by 100 per cent and our freezer capacity by 50 per cent. For customers, that means we’ll be able to offer an expanded range of products. For our stores, it means they’ll get those products delivered daily – seven days a week. We’re investing in range and supply chain so

that we can get products out to stores even faster,” Mr Anderson said. The three other chillers already existing in Hornby will be demolished and turned into car parking.
Sixteen dock doors, four large chiller chambers, two 1000 KVA generators, a truck wash and a weighbridge are among some of the features the new centre will have. “We have allowed space for our
business to grow. In the short term, that means we can offer a logistics service to our suppliers, who want to use our space to store their excess product, and save on transport costs,” Mr Anderson said.

Vehicles parked illegally not ticketed instore now!
Residents angry over double standards By Bridget Rutherford AN ILAM resident is frustrated five construction company vehicles parked illegally two weeks ago were not ticketed, when more than 80 other motorists have been in the last two months. But the city council said in this case it was better to get the vehicles moved as soon as possible, rather than issue tickets. Parkstone Ave resident Lynette Hardie Wills said on Tuesday two weeks ago, five Naylor Love Construction utility vehicles were parked in a no stopping part of the street for 90min. She said it created safety concerns because it made seeing oncoming traffic difficult, so she called the city council to complain. But when a parking warden arrived, he did not ticket the vehicles, instead calling Naylor Love to have them
FRUSTRATION: Naylor Love vehicles have not been ticketed for parking illegally when other vehicles, including those belonging to residents, have been. On Friday this Naylor Love utility was parked in the right spot.
removed, she said. Dr Hardie Wills said it was unfair regular motorists were being ticketed, yet construction company vehicles were not. She said last year staff from Southern Response were at her home to do EQC repairs, and even they were ticketed. Dr Hardie Willis said the contractors should be able to park in Canterbury University’s Solway Ave car park for free, seeing as they were doing work for the university. But a Canterbury University spokesperson said they already have 610 temporary parks for contractors. “It would be unfair to offer free parking to contractors
when staff and students pay to park on campus,” a Canterbury University spokesperson said. City council data shows since July 1, it issued 83 infringement tickets to vehicles on Parkstone Ave. Fifty-three were for parking in a no stopping area, six were for an expired warrant of fitness, and 20 were issued for unlicensed vehicles. The rest were for parking in excess of the two-hour restriction, parking on a yellow line, obstructing a vehicle entrance, and not displaying a vehicle licence. City council transport operations manager Aaron Haymes said the rules were the same for everyone.
“In this instance council staff deemed it a priority to get the vehicles moved, rather than ticketing the vehicles, which would not have solved the immediate safety concerns.” He said the parking warden got in touch with Naylor Love and asked the trucks be moved, which was done “immediately.” Mr Haymes said since the incident, the site manager had told staff not to park on Parkstone Ave due to the safety concerns raised. He said compliance staff had been monitoring the street and no trucks had parked there since. Naylor Love declined to comment.

WELLBEING
FEAST DAY
Message from the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch Our Diocese is proud of Marian College. The school is thriving at its inner-city campus location alongside the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on Barbadoes Street. Marian College shows us clearly that the heart of a Catholic school lies not in its buildings, but in a strong, supportive community built around faith. Marian College belongs to the Catholic Kāhui Ako Community of Learning, one of our 13 schools in Christchurch. Each school has an affiliated parish and networks contributing to the Diocese. Alongside our Diocese earthquake rebuild and repair programme, our parishes have been offered the chance to focus on spiritual renewal as we wait for a new Bishop to be appointed. The process for the rebuild of Marian College’s campus will be a priority for our new Bishop, who will ultimately make the decision on Marian College’s permanent site. This decision will not be made in isolation however, there are many factors to consider and groups to consult with, given the changes in our communities since the earthquakes. The Diocese looks forward to keeping the community updated on progress. In the meantime, Marian College continues to achieve excellent results and to thrive. A special thank you goes to the Marian College community – students, parents, staff and leadership, for your ongoing patience, support and cooperation. Fr Rick Loughnan
Catholic Diocese of Christchurch Administrator
The Marian College Principal Marian College is very fortunate to have a small, friendly, family atmosphere which comes from teachers and students knowing each other well. I am delighted to share that our students and teachers are making the very best of our current site – opportunities for collaboration are plenty and the benefits that come of an inner-city location are taken up with enthusiasm. At Marian College our special Catholic character is built into everything we do. Our earthquake recovery
journey has taught us, that while brand new buildings and facilities are an exciting proposition, it is our faith, our community and our people that matter. I am excited about the future of Marian College – we can all look forward to a bright, sparkling new start. I hope you enjoy reading about some of our recent happenings. Mary-Lou Davidson,
RIA KNEY
Marian College Principal
Feast Day Festivities One of the most anticipated events on the Marian College calendar is Feast Day – recognised every year to celebrate the Assumption of Mary. This year, Feast Day began with a whole school Mass, which included the blessing of the new music department, featuring practice spaces and a multipurpose room. Traditional Feast Day activities involve Marian College’s house groups coming together in Xavier Hall to compete in a talent quest and house group chant competition. Rivalry between the four Marian College houses – Brodie, Deans, Seymour and Takahe – is strong and overwhelmingly positive. Students have been known to rehearse their chants and performances for up to six weeks in advance, polishing their acts ready for competition. Each performance is judged and awarded house points which are tallied throughout the year. The house with the most points earned – for academic, sporting, cultural, service and cultural achievements – is awarded the annual Inter-House Shield at the end of year school prize giving.
Aiming for France
Football talent Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu) could be heading to France next year to represent New Zealand and play in the 2018 U20 Women’s World Cup. The Year 13 Marian college student helped captain the New Zealand U19 Football team to victory in the Oceania Football Confederation championships in Auckland recently, securing the team’s spot in France, 2018. Rebecca captained the team twice over the five game campaign which saw the team win all their games convincingly. Rebecca is a member of the Football Ferns development squad and has played with Mainland Pride (the National Women’s regional team) for three years.
Judo medallist Congratulations to Ria Kney (Ngāti Kahungunu) who won a gold medal in the U52kg girls category at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Judo Tournament last term. She won all five of her fights in the one day tournament held at Lincoln High School. Ria also won gold in two categories at the Auckland International Judo Open tournament held three weeks later at ASB Stadium in Auckland. One of her fights lasted just ten seconds!
Wellbeing and service A priority for Marian College this year has been student and staff wellbeing. This year, Marian has introduced two new courses: Kia Maia and Mana Wahine. Kia Maia is a course for Year 9 students which focuses on wellbeing, character strengths, use of money, cyber safety and developing study and life skills. The Mana Wahine course aims to promote strong Marian women. Especially for year 12 students, the course teaches wellbeing, study techniques, life skills, careers, financial literacy and service. Marian College has a strong commitment to providing service to the community. Not only students, but staff members are also actively involved. Marian College staff members rolled up their sleeves recently, to spend an afternoon participating in a range of service activities including assisting at Christchurch City Mission and St Vincent de Paul, cleaning up a beach, gardening for the Beatitude sisters, making goods for Christchurch Hospital’s neo-natal unit and other children in need.
Southern Jam Marian College’s Jazz Band travelled to the Southern Jam Jazz Festival in Blenheim recently – taking part in the showcase and celebration of the South Island’s secondary school jazz bands. Marian College’s Jazz Band performed at eight public venues and took home a bronze award. Band director Frances Daly is a Marian old girl currently studying at Ara Jazz School. Frances inspired the Jazz Band to compose an original song ‘Dirty Window’, which won Best Original Song at this year’s Christchurch Jazz Festival.

Colleges raise $5000 for Maddie PROGRESS: Concrete being poured into Hornby High School’s new gym last weekend.
Big pour for school gym By Emily O’Connell IT’S SET in stone for Hornby High School. The school’s new gymnasium had its concrete poured last weekend – this is part of the multi-million dollar upgrade by the Ministry of Education. The new gymnasium will feature a full-size basketball court, fitness centre, teaching space, equipment storage, changing rooms and showers, and staff office areas. The school will also retain its existing gymnasium, giving the school two full-size indoor basketball courts. “We are a chunk of the way through what is an almost full school rebuild,” Hornby High School principal Mr Sutton said. “It’s part of the whole ministry infrastructure reinvestment and the figure I heard was something
like $1.4 billion they’re progressively investing in the Canterbury region in the whole network,” Mr Sutton said. The school’s rebuild wasn’t due to earthquake repairs, it had been occupying temporary buildings since 1975. “Our kids, family and community they just deserve good facilities and that’s exactly what they’re going to get and that’s probably the most exciting thing,” Mr Sutton said. Mr Sutton said they’re looking forward to being able to focus solely on good learning once the rebuild is complete. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a grumble at all. We’re absolutely rapt. We’re so excited by the whole process,” Mr Sutton said. All construction at Hornby High School should be completed by late February 2019.
By Emily O’Connell ABOUT 30 different acts have taken the stage to raise money for sick teen Maddie Collins. St Thomas’ of Canterbury and Villa Maria colleges joined forces on Thursday, putting on their annual variety show. The show has been going since 1988 and the money raised has always gone to a charity or person Maddie in need. Collins Maddie, 13, has a kidney disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. She needs $750,000 to fly to the United States to receive another kidney transplant. She has received a kidney transplant from her father but her body rejected it.

St Thomas’ of Canterbury head of english Maureen Gaffaney said it was an excellent show. She said they raised more than $3000 and had about 400 attendees. Mrs Gaffaney said Maddie was an easy choice for this year’s variety show as her brother
Tomas went to St Thomas’ of Canterbury and her sister Georgia went to Villa Maria. “It’s great to see people get up on stage and doing things they don’t normally do,” Mrs Gaffaney said. She said they had a range of acts from kapa haka groups to a staff rock band. Maddie’s mum Sarah Manson Collins said they were ecstatic when they learned the variety show was for their daughter. But due to varying reasons, her family weren’t able to attend. She said Maddie now does Southern Health School, where a teacher visits her home, because she is too sick. “She’s getting tireder and tireder definitely. She doesn’t have the same level of energy she had a few months ago,” Mrs Manson Collins said.
Detailed skate park designs completed •From page 1 “Some people liked the idea of living near a skate park, and some people didn’t,” Cr Buck said. Community consultation earlier this year showed overwhelming support for both facilities, with about 70 per cent of 147 responses in favour. About 20 per cent were against
the Halswell Domain skate park (above) and 14 per cent were against Knights Stream Park. “The staff have done an amaz-
ing job at getting out and involving people in the design and then the tweaking of the design,” Cr Buck said. City council need to lodge their resource consent application. Once this is approved, the project will be out for tender. Construction is expected to start mid-November.

Scotty Wilson – How about instead of the police ticketing people for 4km/h over the speed limit on the southern motorway, and threatening hairdressers who serve complementary beer actually do something about it and sort these degenerates out. That sounds too much like police work, this is part of the reason why people do not take public transport, they are safe in their own car, unless they have had one beer at the hairdressers or travelling 4km/h over the speed limit.

time to get started
with spring planting By RACHEL VOGAN As the days get longer and the soil slowly begins to warm up and dry out, the time is right to set about growing your own greens to feed the troops.
POTATOES The first sprouted potatoes can go in the ground now in the warmer climates. If your soil isn’t ready, grow an early-crop in large tubs or potato planters. This option will yield just as well as growing in the ground, and enable you to tuck the pots up against the house to protect them from cold snaps. Early-crop varieties to plant now include ‘Jersey Benne’, ‘Rocket’, Swift’, ‘Cliff Kidney’, or ‘Liseta’. Remember to enrich the soil with potato food!
PEAS Peas are a super quick and easy crop to grow, and have the advantage of being remarkably hardy to cold temperatures. They prefer a fertile soil in full sun, and would benefit from a supporting frame or series of stakes to keep the crop off the ground. Sow seed directly in the garden where you wish it to grow, allowing 10-15cm between each plant. I put two seeds in each hole. Cover the area with mesh or netting as birds just love to peck at fresh pea shoots as they emerge through the soil. Once the plants reach 15-20cm, the leaves don’t seem to have as much appeal, so the nets can be removed. They are a great crop for tubs and planters, and dwarf varieties are wonderful in hanging baskets or window boxes. Plant plenty, as once they come ready, you never seem to have enough.

Love
RADISH Crisp and zingy, everyone has room to grow these nuggets of goodness. All you need is a kitchen bucket, some vegetable mix and seeds, and you’ll be in business. Why not grow them at work if you have a sunny outdoor space? It could make for a fun inter-office challenge, with prizes on offer for the biggest, smallest, ugliest, tastiest and funniest-shaped radish! Personally, I prefer the round marble to golf-ball-sized types, although the cylindrical varieties do get a lot bigger and therefore give you more bang for your buck. Sow from seed now in rows, or try sowing them in a circle or a pattern – kids love doing this. Note that you won’t find radishes in punnets, as they are very difficult to transplant without damaging the roots, so planting in a seed line is definitely the best way forward.
ROCKET Rocket, or arugula, is one of the fastest-growing and tastiest salad greens around. It is the epitome of a low-maintenance crop; you can scatter seed directly onto the ground and walk away, and will be greeted with seedlings within a few weeks, and harvestable leaves only a fortnight to a month later. Plants are widely available all year round. If the soil dries out in summer, the plant will bolt and go to seed, so perk up old, tired soil with sheep manure or compost before planting in order to avoid this. It’s an ideal resident for the patio and window boxes near the kitchen, and if you keep picking it without allowing it to flower, it will crop for up to six months or more, as long as the soil remains fertile and regularly watered.

re-purposed products
for new & renovated homes
For Canterbury people, the name Musgroves is synonymous with recycled and pre-loved building materials and household items that can happily find a place in their new or renovated home. Founded by Dave Musgrove in 1942 as a general cartage company, it became Musgrove Bros when Dave was joined by his brother Alf in 1946. The business operated as a cartage and road contracting company until 1970. The previous year, when the management was taken over by Graeme Vickers, the company’s work had extended to include demolition and the sale of recycled materials. Demolition continued for a number of years, before Musgroves began to specialise in buying and selling recycled building materials. Since those early days, the product mix has evolved, and there are now many different types of product carried by Musgroves, general manager Sue Brown says. Volume has expanded significantly too, with some 70,000 items now on the yard at any one time, including new and pre-used.
For Musgroves, re-purposing products is at the heart of their philosophy, Sue says.
ing items that are no longer being manufactured, a problem that can often be solved at Musgroves. They have Pinex ceiling tiles, for example, and clay roof tiles, most of which are now not available on the market.
“We’re here to help people with their renovations. Many of our items are materials left over from building jobs, such as insulation, roofing iron, trellis etc. “The pre-used items people bring in include items such as doors, ranchsliders, windows, and kitchen units. And there is a huge selection for customers to browse through.”
Those building new homes and wanting to add character to a contemporary design may choose to install tongue and groove flooring made from recycled timber, or use old door and cupboard handles or locks, Sue says.
Of course there are the special treasures, too. One Sue is particularly thrilled with is a series of large oak ceiling panels, each in four sections, which came from an architecturally designed home, and lay unused for seven years before they were taken to Musgroves.
With new building products continually being developed and replacing existing ones, the range at Musgroves is constantly changing and growing. One example, says Sue, is ACM (aluminium composite) panels, which are waterproof so are ideal for bathrooms and create a unique effect.
Another unusual item is a large, four-door oak entertainment cabinet, which Sue says could be an eye-catching feature piece in someone’s new or renovated home.
Musgroves is located at 3 Musgrove Close, Wigram. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 8am-4pm.

The extensions will incorporate an office and increased storage, with earthquake strengthening work being carried out on the side of the building.
Activities 126 On The Corner provides for the community include a cooking group, a variety group, a walking group, tai chi, men’s group, tea and tots group, fun fit group, community lunches and Kix Taekwondo.
“and we are now looking at how we can replace the $3200 worth of equipment the group needs for when it meets two or three times a week.”

We believe the fitness industry is a service industry, not just an equipment provider like most gyms have become,” owner Ricki says. “Our Personal Trainers believe that support and motivation should not be an added extra and they are always happy to help. The best thing is that Culture Fitness has the lowest price of any gym in the area. “Another big difference is that we don’t have mirrors, we are for real people wanting to feel better and get fitter, not to stand around looking at yourself,” Ricki says. “People spend lots of time in front of the mirrors at other gyms and it’s uncomfort-

We have structured Culture Fitness in such a way that you should never have to wait for equipment and still get a great workout no matter what time you come in. “One aspect of how we do this is our Express Fitness Lanes where you can get in and out knowing you have had a great workout in just 35 minutes.” Culture Fitness is also one of the only gyms in the west to incorporate the My Zone heart rate monitoring system, Ricki says. “This ensures you are working at the level that is right for you according to your personal fitness level. “Culture Fitness really is very different, but you will need to see it for yourself.”
the ways we can continue to grow together for the benefit of local people. “We have a group of volunteers that make it possible to offer all that we do and allow us to increase what we offer. Without their commitment 126 On The Corner would be unable to make a positive difference in our community.” Anyone requiring information on the community group activities, hall hire or volunteering can contact Tracey on 342 5864 or 022 017 6278.

changes & celebrations for 60-year-old school The blessing ceremony
These are significant times for the longestablished Sockburn School in Springs Road, Hornby. This year the school is celebrating its 60th anniversary, and next year will mark the first step of a major change. In January 2018, the school will be given a new name – Wigram Primary, and this will be in preparation for the school’s relocation to the Wigram Primary site on the Runway in January 2019, principal Heather Walkinshaw says. Detailed design of the new school is currently underway, with construction to be carried out by Southbase.
The first school committee – April 1957. Back from left: Mr Leathwick, Mr Murray, Mrs Mutimer. Mr Page. Front from left: Mrs Whelan, Mr Dewar, Mr Niven, Mr Beattie, Mrs Henry

These include visiting learning spaces, photos, afternoon tea and a dinner at the Wigram Base Conference Centre. “The school has always been well supported by the community, as one of our parents said recently: ‘The school has had a lot of long-serving staff, which is a reflection of the loyalty to the school. The school has a great sense of community. Everyone works very well together. The staff are dedicated to the success of all students.’”
LOOKING BACK…
The new site was blessed by representatives of the local Taumutu Rununga on August 8, with the ceremony attended by the then Associate Minister of Education, Tim Macindoe.
The first headmaster of Sockburn Public School when it was established in1957 was Mr A. R. Chambers. A photo from the time shows there were 11 teachers, a clerical assistant and a nurse.
The school will also have a new uniform with a new logo, which is now being embroidered on to the new uniforms.
An aerial view dated January 1957 shows how little development there was at both the airbase and in the surrounding area.
The logo, which features two kahu facing each other with the runway through the middle, has been designed to represent the history of the area. Kahu were prevalent in the area and the runway recalls the history of the air force at Wigram.
The first school committee was formed in 1957 and the iconic school pool, which was opened in1961, is still used by the students.

Other varieties they produce include lamb shank and kumera mash, and the customer favourite, real beef and cheese pie. Gorgeous Food also offers delicious Vivace coffee, which is roasted in Christchurch, with Pete and Kayla the baristas. Supporting the community is important to Pete and Jo, and on August 18 they ran their annual Cupcake Fundraiser Day to support the SPCA, which is located nearby. All proceeds from the cupcake sales went to the organisation, with just over $500 being raised. Gorgeous Food can also cater for lunches, morning teas and afternoon teas, with the food being boxed up and ready for collection as required. Since last year, Gorgeous Food has been opening on Saturdays from 7am - 1.30pm, and this has proved very popular with their regular customers, Jo says.

Waterloo entrance
momentum continues With
ongoing development at business park Hornby’s Waterloo Business Park continues to grow at an impressive rate, bringing increased business activity to the area. In driving through the park, there is a palpable sense of activity and momentum owing to the large number of sites currently under construction. “Waterloo reached its tipping point sometime in the past 12 months,” assistant development manager Joel Webber says, “where we gained a critical mass of sales and construction activity that marked a transition from large, burgeoning industrial subdivision to an active and dynamic business environment. “On the back of this transition, the focus of the development team at Waterloo has squarely shifted to completion of the two remaining stages of development,” Mr Webber says.
Caffé and Pocket Park
“Titles for the 6.3ha Stage 5 of development are expected in mid to late October. Earthworks on the final stage of development, the 7.3ha Stage 6, is well underway with titles expected to issue in early 2018. “On the periphery of our own on-site works, we’re eagerly anticipating the completion of NZTA’s Pound Road realignment works towards the end of the year. This will be a key milestone in the ongoing evolution of Waterloo Business Park, delivering outstanding roading network connectivity to our owners and occupiers.” The freight and logistics fraternity has identified and acted upon this opportunity with several transport-based businesses having established in close proximity to this future
arterial route. These businesses have futureproofed themselves over the medium to long term and are positioned well for growth and success, Mr Webber says. There are currently 14 businesses established and operating within the Business Park with a further 10 sites under construction. In recognition of the changing dynamics within the Business Park, Waterloo recently launched its inaugural owners and occupiers networking event. “We believe that Waterloo can be, and should be a business micro-community,” Mr Webber says. “We’ve seen first-hand the internal business opportunities that take shape when owners and occupiers at Waterloo Business Park get in the same room as one another. We want to encourage and nurture a strong business community at Waterloo and we see a regular networking event as a terrific way to foster and develop understanding of, and familiarity with, the other businesses on-site and promote internal business transactions within the Business Park.” The philosophy behind the regular networking events is that each quarter a different business hosts the event on site. The host business has the opportunity to give an overview of what they do and undertake a tour of their premises before breaking out into informal networking over drinks and nibbles. “Our inaugural networking event was hosted by Hagley Building Products back in June and was a resounding success. The second event was held on September 19, and generously hosted by Cardinal Freight.”

southern motorWay work on track
Despite an unusually wet winter, work on the $195 million Christchurch Southern Motorway – Stage 2 (CSM2) project has not been held up, with more than 300,000 cubic metres of earth moved, two new local roads built and the first of eight bridges almost complete.
bridges to be finished,” he said.
Principal project manager Geoff Griffiths says people can expect to see more changes over the coming months as work ramps up.
“These new roads will give people access to their homes and local businesses, and in the case of Manion Road, allow the CSM2 team to carry on with work to four-lane the motorway from Weedons Road towards Curraghs Road,” Mr Griffiths said.
Mr Griffiths noted that on Wednesday August 30, two 180-tonne cranes put the final four ‘Super-T Beams’ that make up the Main South Road Bridge into place. “The structure, which will take Main South Road traffic up and over the motorway, is made up of 16 locally made precast beams, which range from 30 to 35 metres long and weigh up to 68 tonnes each. It will be the first of the project’s eight
Along with the Main South Road Bridge, the CSM2 team have also started constructing the Waterholes Road and Trent Road bridges and built two new local roads - Tiptree Lane and Manion Road.
“Traffic will be closely monitored to try to reduce disruption and delays; however, people should plan ahead and allow extra travel time as work continues on the CSM2. “We would also like to remind people to obey the traffic management that is in place while the project is underway. The speed restrictions and road closures are in place for your safety as well as the safety of our crews.”
“Meanwhile, at the city end of the project, John Paterson Drive is being realigned to join with Halswell Junction Road. This work will continue until the end of the year when the new alignment is expected to open to traffic.”
The Christchurch Southern Motorway (Stage One, completed, and Stage Two, underway) is expected to halve travel time between Rolleston and Christchurch at peak times from 30 minutes to 15 and reduce fatal and serious crashes by 40 per cent.
Mr Griffiths said people travelling around the Selwyn District,

pharmacist oFFers options
for treating causes not just symptoms Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? You may be surprised to find one of New Zealand’s most highly qualified and experienced health care experts in Hornby. At Stay Well Pharmacy on Shands Road, Naturopathic Pharmacist Mark Webster provides patients with options over and above standard medicinal and pharmaceutical care. “Integrated Medicine is about taking the best of everything,” Mark says. “By looking at diet, lifestyle, exercise and daily routines, I can provide solutions that treat the cause of your discomfort. Not just the symptoms.” For Mark, this means continually studying to keep up with the latest advancements in healthcare and medicine. “At the moment, I’m working towards my Master of Science in Integrated Medicine through George Washington University in America. Last year I completed a five year Fellowship in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine, having been a qualified pharmacist for 26 years.” Mark’s approach to Integrated Medicine is attracting national attention. Having been a finalist for the past two years, in July Mark won the 2017 New Zealand Pharmacy Award for the Best Complementary Healthcare Campaign and this year he won the Kiwibank New Zealander of the year Local Hero Award. While he doesn’t mind the recognition, his

main motivation is seeing his patients find a new lease on life. “Everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for another. By bringing together advice from a patient’s doctor, dietitian, physiotherapist, or other health professional, I want to support people in finding a healthier way of living that works for them,” says Mark. Healthy solutions start with quality choices, so Mark only stocks products, vitamins and minerals that are backed by peer-reviewed, evidence-based research. On Tuesdays, Mark runs private consultations at the Pharmacy for you to discuss your health concerns. From that, he can design you a personalised wellness plan to help you live well, and stay well. Initial appointments are 60 minutes and additional appointments are typically half an hour. Mark’s training covers a wide range of conditions, but he has a special passion for skin conditions, gastro-intestinal issues, hormonal complaints or if you are simply sick and tired of constantly feeling sick or tired. Bookings are essential. If you would like to find out what a difference working with a Naturopathic Pharmacist can make to your health, call and make an appointment to see Mark at Stay Well Pharmacy.

residential groWth set to continue in the west The residential population of Christchurch’s western suburbs has grown significantly since the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, and that growth looks set to continue for some time. A number of subdivisions have already been developed across the area in response to that growth, with more coming on stream over the next few years. One new one being developed is an extension to the existing Country Palms subdivision in Halswell, which was established prior to the earthquakes by development company Suburban Estates. “That one was well received and sold quickly,” company manager Tracey Watson says. “The new development is smaller, with 100 lots. The first stage, comprising 33 lots, has just been released, with the remainder to be released over the next couple of years.” Section sizes range from 400sqm to 700sqm, with access through the existing Country Palms development.
“The subdivision has access to good infrastructure, with the opportunity to have access to Halswell Junction Road, and there are good facilities all within a kilometre,” Ms Watson says. A newcomer to the Christchurch market, Avanda Group, is developing a site at 197 Halswell Junction Road. Planning and design work has started and civil engineering work will get underway once designs are finalised, marketing manager Sarah Davidson says. The existing plan for the development includes 197 lots, with section sizes ranging from 300sqm to 650sqm. “There is an allowance within the plan for a small number of integrated housing lots, should the demand for such products develop over the course of the sales programme,” Ms Davidson says. She says Avanda has spent a number of months speaking to active parties in the market, and listening to what purchasers want.
“This information has been at the forefront of our decision making. We are in the process of appointing a local urban design and landscape architect team to assist in the design of the layout and the treatment of outdoor spaces to make 197 Halswell Junction Road a welcoming community,” Ms Davidson says. “Avanda chose to develop in Halswell as it is a growing and popular community that we wanted to be part of. There is a demand for good-sized sections in the area. “We hope this will be the first of many developments in Christchurch for Avanda.” Several other subdivisions in the area have had council consent. There are 205 lots over three subdivisions in Awatea Rd, Carrs Rd and Halswell Junction Rd. A further 634 lots across four sub divisions in Sutherlands Rd, Halswell Junction Rd, and Milns Rd are currently subject to a subdivision consent application.

The brand-new Design Centre set up last month by Jennian Homes in Main South Road Hornby provides a showcase for industry-leading building products that the public can “see, touch and feel”, says co-owner Dwayne Prendergast. “This is a completely different concept,” Dwayne says. “People can see a lot more in our Design Centre than they can in a show home. “The product selection includes state-of-the-art kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing products, exteriors claddings and much more, with all the proven brands represented.” Jennian Homes sales staff are available on site to talk to visitors about any of the products, and discuss how they can be incorporated into a Jennian Homes design. “We offer a range of standard plans, but we enjoy designing bespoke homes for clients to suit their section and their ideas. As our slogan says, ‘your personality, our expertise’.” Dwayne says Jennian Homes is unique in the building industry in Canterbury, in that the company directors – himself and project manager Paul Jenkins – have hands-on involvement with every project. “We work closely with our clients so they can talk to us at any time during the design and construction process.” Dwayne says there are “great opportunities” for people to build homes now in Christchurch and across Canterbury, with plenty of land opportunities. “Our team are working closely with all developers to be aware of the available land as it comes to the market.” Jennian Homes is opening two more show homes this year – one in the Faringdon sub-division in Rolleston, which will open at Labour Weekend, and the other in Rangiora, which will open just before Christmas. A well-established home-building company, Jennian Homes was launched in New Zealand 35 years ago, and has been in the Canterbury market for more than 20 years. Their new Design Centre is located at 212 Main South Road, Hornby, and is open seven days a week from 9am-5pm.

the trickle-doWn effect By ROSS KIDDIE I’m a big motorsport fan, Formula One in particular. Even though Ferrari as a team is giving Mercedes-Benz a run for its money this season, the latter has dominated the sport in recent years. Ultimately, that success trickles down to sales from the showroom floor. That is certainly showing here in New Zealand. Mercedes-Benz is dominating the luxury car market and I don’t see that changing any time soon, simply because the raft of models and variants within each model range means there is a vehicle for all tastes and budgets. There is also a large proliferation of sporty models and the performance arm of Mercedes-Benz – AMG – has kept up the pace with high output models sitting in tandem within the line-up. I’m not sure how inspired AMG is from Formula One, but you can rest assured that some technology from the sport flows down to street vehicles. The latest AMG model to come my way was the C63S cabriolet, which has a twin-turbocharged 4-litre V8 engine delivering monster power outputs of 375kW and 700Nm of torque.
tocols that can be set to many varying requirements. I even preferred the standard mode, which like all big V8 engines, means a relaxed, unstressed operating manner. However, when sport mode is selected, there is a constant solid surge of power that seems endless in its delivery. Acceleration is vivid – a standstill to 100km/h time of 4.2sec is wickedly fast, along with a 3.2sec overtaking time (80km/h to 120km/h). What I enjoyed most about the C63S’ performance is the sound that accompanies its delivery. It is loud and there’s even a button that enhances more noise; a backfire on gearshift and throttle blip on downshift is infectious to listen to. On that subject, drive is channelled to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. It is a direct shift-type and how it harnesses so much power and torque yet arranges the gears so smoothly amazes me. There are steering-wheel-mounted paddles for the enthusiastic driver, and management protocols, which quickly identify throttle percentage.
The C63S cabriolet sits on huge rubber with wheels an inch smaller in diameter up front than those on the rear. The sport specification Michelin Pilot tyres (255/35 x 19in and 285/30 x 20in) have huge grip, yet they are constantly Even though these figures are highly impressive, the cabriolet can easily be driven sedately. tested when the power goes on.

One of the benefits of quality tyres is the feel through the steering, the C63S cabriolet has accurate turn-in along with strong feel – you can point and clip apexes delightfully. It must be said, though, the C-Class in this form is so competent it makes driving easy, the suspension is informative and that creates an involving driving experience. It is also rigid within the body structure. Like most premium manufacturers, MercedesBenz and AMG haven’t lost sight of the need to look after the environment, and even though the engine has big cylinders to feed, the fuel usage statistics are still realistic. Mercedes-Benz claims a 9.4-litre per 100km (30mpg) combined cycle average. At 100km/h I recorded an 8l/100km (35mpg) instantaneous
readout along with a 11.2l/100km (27mpg) average over five days. However, a buyer who chooses C63S specification in any vehicle will understand that the quad-camshaft V8 likes to be released and fuel economy wouldn’t be a priority. At $189,000 the C-Class cab in this form comes at a premium price but it is chock full of goodies and, as you would expect from Mercedes-Benz, it wants for nothing. I’ve been quite spoilt recently with a lot of German product filtering through the press fleet – as well as soft and hard-tops from other brands – serving to prove the convertible market is showing no sign of dwindling. I’ve long said Christchurch doesn’t have the best weather for open-air motoring and I stick to that statement; that being the case, the coupe would be the car for me, but for anyone who gets to experience that amazing engine, there’s a chance they will be simply over-awed.

need to. It claims 81kW and 141Nm from the engine, and with a 4.9l/100km (57mpg) combined cycle fuel usage claim the figures are healthy. There is also a sport mode the driver can activate for busier engine behaviour, and if you couple that to a manual sequential gearshift function, the sporty feel of Mazda2 will come into its own. I left the evaluation car mostly in normal mode and enjoyed the interaction between engine and gearbox. It is a traditional way of driving and for that reason I warmed to it, changes are crisp and smooth and the engine stays on song. Even though the area of maximum torque is high at 4000rpm, the Mazda2 is light and it doesn’t take a lot of energy to move it quickly (0100km/h in 9.5sec) – the engine is unstrained and responsive. The Limited rides on 185/60 x 16in Dunlop tyres, and even though their footprint isn’t wide they have a solid tenure with the road surface and provide the driver with strong feedback as to how they are reacting under pressure. The Mazda2 has reasonable freedom of movement within the suspension, the spring and damper rates favour the uneven surface of Christchurch’s roads, while occupant comfort has been an engineering priority. Christchurch is a tough market for Mazda2. There’s some fairly hefty competition here from Suzuki and its clever marketing campaign. However, Mazda also has a free servicing programme, which is most tempting – three years or 100,000km. All factors considered, the Mazda2 is a compelling buying proposition.

Next year is open and now is the time to start planning your 2018 holiday, says Hornby House of Travel’s Paula Waldeck.
Cambodia, where they can learn about different cultures and the different ways of life in that region.
For first-time travellers, the team at HOT Hornby suggests a multi-country guided journey.
“Families planning overseas holidays in 2018 are encouraged to book early to get the best deals,” Paula says.
For those who are excited by the idea of river or ocean cruising and calling into exotic places, HOT suggests one of the many multi-destination cruises on offer.
“Travellers get to enjoy local experiences, and they have a good balance of time with the group and time to do things on their own. This is a great way to get a taste of Europe,” Paula says.
“The school holidays are the busiest and most expensive time to travel, so by booking early people can reduce the cost.” Paula and her expert team at HOT have plenty of suggestions for customers looking for an overseas holiday that won’t break the bank. “For example, the Gold Coast is great value for money,” Paula says, “and anywhere in the South Pacific is also a good choice for warmth during the New Zealand winter, plus there is usually no time difference so that makes it easier with younger children.” For families with teenagers, she suggests a trip to Vietnam and
“There are ships for all budgets and so many itineraries to choose from around the world,” Paula says. Europe is always one of the most popular destinations for Kiwi travellers, with Croatia currently at the top of the list. Paula suggests island hopping on a small cruise ship around the Adriatic Sea with a stay in the ever-popular Dubrovnik. Italy is another highly favoured country to visit, and there is a range of itinerary ideas for travellers going there, including villa stays, cycling and walking tours, foodie tours or a Vespa tour around quaint Italian villages.
Canada is also a popular choice with HOT customers, with a train trip across the Rocky Mountains providing a way to enjoy the beautiful scenery in comfort. The trip is available from April until October. “There is also the opportunity to combine this with an Alaskan cruise, making for an even more exciting holiday,” Paula says. She and her team look forward to helping customers plan their 2018 holiday, so call in to their store at 40 Carmen Road, or book an appointment by phoning 344-3070.

By Emily O’Connell ELVIS WILL be in Hornby on Saturday to raise funds for poliomyelitis. The Rotary Club of Avonhead is putting on Another Great Variety Tribute Show to raise money for people suffering from poliomyelitis – a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease. Organiser Graeme Wallis said the money raised from the show will go to PolioPlus, an initiative started by Rotary International. PolioPlus is helping immunise people in the hope of ending poliomyelitis worldwide. “It exists in five countries at the moment – Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Syria – which spells out the word PAINS. It is diminishing rapidly but Rotary International have got some huge support, which means if we raise $5000 they will double it,” Mr Wallis said. The show will have music from Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond and John Rowles as well as dancing. Mr Wallis said the show is special because of how much support the community has given. He said this year was the first time the Rotary Club of Avonhead offered the musicians some money for their talents. “We made the decision that each player would get $100. Anyway, when I went up to them, immediately three of them said ‘oh no it’s alright, I don’t want anything,’”
Bramwell, GM Marketing at Nurse Maude, “and we can turn it into the funds needed to provide hospice palliative care and support free of charge to patients and their families in the Nurse Maude Hospice.” If you need larger items or household lots collected then email trademe.volunteers@ nursemaude.org.nz or call them on 375 4643 to arrange pick up. Smaller items may be dropped off at any of the Nurse Maude Hospice shops around town seven days a week. “It’s a perfect way to support the Nurse Maude Hospice while giving your home its annual spring clean,” says Sue.

Congratulations to all those who participated in Burnside High School’s 2017 ‘Shave For a Cure’. On Friday the 25th of August, a brave group of 20 students shaved their hair to raise funds as well as awareness for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. This organisation ensures all individuals and families who are sadly faced with Leukaemia & Blood Cancer are well supported. The
shave took place at lunchtime creating a supportive atmosphere with many students helping out. Large support from Burnside High School’s community saw the team raise over $5,900! A huge thanks goes to Hames Hairdressing, Gray Ryburn, Jess Cliffe and all the helpers for allowing this event to be a success! Burnside High School is looking forward to ‘Shave For a Cure’ 2018!

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
SPRING ONION PANCAKES Ingredients 250g Plain flour, plus extra for dusting 80 ml Boiling water 70 ml Cold water 2 Tbsp Vegetable oil 1 bunch Spring onion, finely chopped 1 tsp Sesame seeds Directions Put the flour in a bowl and add the boiling water, stirring with chopsticks. This is called ‘burning’ the flour. Give it a mix
and once it has cooled enough, continue mixing with your hands. Add the cold water, a quarter at a time, and continue mixing. When mixed thoroughly, take the dough out of the bowl and knead on a flour-covered bench. You may need to add more flour as you knead. Continue kneading until the dough is shiny and your hands and the bench are clear of dough. Roll the dough into a ball and place in a bowl covered with cling film. Seat aside for about half an hour. Take a piece of dough about the size of your fist and roll it out on the bench into a circle about 15cm in diameter. Spread some
vegetable oil over the dough, then sprinkle over the chopped spring onion. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Roll the pancake into a tight cylinder, then coil it around into a circle (like a caterpillar rolling itself into a circle). With a rolling pin, flatten this circle into a pancake again. Add oil to your frying pan and heat to a medium-high heat. Add the pancake to the frying pan and fry until golden, then flip and cook the other side until golden and crisp. Serve as a side dish with chilli oil or chilli sauce or your favourite Asian-inspired dip. Also great at breakfast time.

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C fan bake. Combine the first 10 ingredients in a bowl. Mix in one egg. Divide mixture evenly onto four sheets of pastry, taking care to ensure you leave some space on each edge (about 2.5cm) for easy rolling. Lightly beat remaining egg for egg wash and brush the edges to help seal the pinwheel. Roll each sheet from the long end and cut each into four pinwheels with a sharp knife. Place on baking paper on oven tray and egg wash the pinwheels. Sprinkle on sesame seeds. Bake for 30min until golden.

Melanoma Deadlier Than Road Fatalities Summer is around the corner, and it brings with it the temptation for some to “pre-tan” using artificial UV tanning equipment; but is it really worth the risk?
M
ore people die from melanoma each year than are killed annually in road crashes. This statistic was part of a comprehensive submission made to parliament’s Health Select Committee which is considering outlawing sunbeds for people under the age of 18 years. The submission was made by Accuro Health Insurance, established in the 1970s as a private insurer for the public health sector. Today it trades as a private health insurer with a widespread, general membership. Accuro, in supporting the submission made by the New Zealand Dermatological Society, pointed to a New Zealand Cancer Society figure of 324 deaths from melanoma in 2010. According to the NZ Road Transport Agency there were 253 road deaths for the 12 months to February 2014 and 303 for the 12 months to February 2015. In highlighting the figure, CEO Geoff Annals emphasised the serious nature of the disease and his submission drew the committee’s attention to the financial, social and personal costs of skin cancer. He quoted Cancer Society figures which report that New Zealand, along with
True
Australia, has amongst the highest melanoma rates in the world. In 2010 melanoma was the fourth most common cancer with 2,341 registered cases and the sixth most common cause of death from cancer. The Cancer Society further reports that skin cancer currently costs this country about $123 million annually. Geoff Annals says research by the Centre for Disease Control showed the introduction of seat belts reduced serious crash related injuries and deaths by about half and banning artificial UV tanning services is warranted on the same public health grounds as the compulsory seat belt legislation. While Accuro’s submission related to a ban for people under 18 years, it supports the introduction of a total ban on commercial artificial UV tanning. “As a health insurer grounded in the public health sector, we are strongly committed to supporting the effectiveness of publicly funded health services and better health outcomes for all New Zealanders,” Geoff Annals says. A leading New Zealand dermatologist, Dr Louise Reiche, who also made submissions to the Health Select Committee, says she’s
treating many young people, especially women in their 20s and 30s, with melanomas resulting from commercial sunbed exposure. She says clients typically lie naked on their sunbeds and expose skin to radiation emitted from UV lamps which can be up to 13 times greater than the peak summer sun. She’s now treating people with cancer of the genital skin which is more vulnerable to skin cancer development. “The medical profession is run off their feet with people presenting themselves with skin cancers causing the public health system to be overwhelmed,” Dr Reiche says. “The waiting list is three to four months for urgent cases and, during the delay, the cancers are growing. This results in poorer health outcomes and more complex and expensive procedures.”
Geoff Annals quoted Cancer Society figures which report that New Zealand, along with Australia, has amongst the highest melanoma rates in the world. In 2010 melanoma was the fourth most common cancer with 2,341 registered cases and the sixth most common cause of death from cancer.

THE sensational Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox returns to the Isaac eatre Royal this Sunday! Furnishing a vintage twist on modern pop songs, the New York based collective is back in NZ by popular demand following two successful tours over the last two years. Created by Scott Bradlee, the rotating collective of Postmodern Jukebox has spent the past few years amassing more than 600 million YouTube views and 2+ million subscribers, performed on “Good Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard charts and played hundreds of shows to packedhouse crowds around the world. As NPR put it, they've done this by “taking current Top 40 hits and re-imagining them as coming from older eras of popular music.” The mastermind behind the group, Scott Bradlee has turned Postmodern Jukebox into a juggernaut by building an incredible grassroots movement around the act. He continues to pick the songs, create the arrangements and shows, and puts together the performers - which includes some notable names alongside phenomenal "undiscovered" talent. e group releases a new video every week, each one shot

in the casual environment where he can oen be seen playing piano in the background. Postmodern Jukebox is certainly a rebuke to the contention that 'they don't make 'em like they used to' - and there's something truly special about witnessing their musical magic live. To echo Bradlee's own invitation: “Dust off the turntable, fix yourself a stiff drink, and get comfy. Welcome to the world of Postmodern Jukebox.” Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox performs at the Isaac eatre Royal this Sunday night. Tickets on sale at Ticketek. www.postmodernjukeboxcom

You deserve a girl’s day out.
Join us at one of Christchurch’s largest events If you’ve been searching for the perfect occasion for you and your friends to get together, then here it is. The annual Women’s Lifestyle Expo is back in Christchurch once more with their biggest Expo yet.
Variety of companies involved – something for everybody With over 200 sites to browse, unique businesses to discover, shopping, bargains and laughter, the Expo is the ultimate day out for every woman and all ages. One of the appeals the Expo has to visitors is the variety of companies involved with everything from bamboo tooth brushes to gourmet vodka. Renee Murray from NZME Events, organiser of the Expo says “Our aim is to have as wide of a range of companies involved with the Expo as possible.
Women are all different and their individual interests are so diverse. One woman may love the latest in makeup or is looking for childcare options but the woman beside her may be more interested in sampling handmade cheese or discovering travel and cultural experiences. It’s great on the weekend to see all the various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company. It’s becoming more common for us to see three
generations visit the Expo together as well, with the daughter, mother and grandmother all enjoying the show and spending the day with each other.” Featuring lots of new companies and everything from fashion and accessories
to travel, giftware, fantastic food and wine, crafts, unique businesses, beauty, eco-friendly products, education, community groups and so much more – what interests the modern woman will be at the Expo.
Take time for yourself; Have a Mother–Daughter day out or grab the girlfriends and head to the Women’s Lifestyle Expo on this 30th September & 1st October at Horncastle Arena. Door Sales only $10.
Be Pampered at the Expo This year the Expo will feature several pamper lounges where visitors can stop and spoil themselves with everything from eyelash extensions to a relaxing foot massage. The Style Mystic Hair Lounge will be a popular destination for Expo visitors – take a seat and let the team spoil you with a new style, haircare advice or an eyelash treatment. The Southern Reflexology Group will have a large Reflexology & Relaxation Lounge
for visitors to put their feet up, have a mini treatment on site and experience the healing properties of reflexology. Sparklewhite Teeth will be offering teeth whitening treatments and beauty therapy sessions onsite. Your Expo experience won’t be complete until you visit the Moisture Mist Makeup Lounge where not only will you find these Shiseido brands at great prices, but the team onsite will be offering makeovers to Expo visitors. Find out the best colours and products to suit your own individual needs and leave the Expo feeling like a new woman!

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo With over 200 companies involved, it will be one of the largest events held in the region and organisers expect many thousand women to visit the Expo over the two days. Renee Murray from Expo Organisers, NZME Events says “We will be bringing a fabulous experience to the women of Canterbury for one weekend. Don’t miss this opportunity to see so many wonderful companies and do lots of shopping under the one roof. Aside from having the best of local companies exhibiting at the Expo we have a large number of national companies who will travel to Christchurch from all around New Zealand especially to show local women their products. This is a great chance for women to stop, relax and spoil themselves for one weekend”.

A new exhibitor to the show is The Lip Lounge, a new Christchurch based business that can help you customize your own lipstick in your favourite shade. You can even bring in your favourite lipstick that may have been deleted or you want to replicate and you can watch the girls at The Lip Lounge mix and create your perfect shade right in front of you. A popular section of the show is the large Artisan Craft Zone. With some favourite companies appearing
Brandhouse will return to the Expo again with their range of champagne, vodka, port and wines. Popular last year was the Royal Dragon’s elite flavour vodka collection with some flavours selling out. Introducing the most tantalizing and unique flavoured vodka collection of its time, flavours include Watermelon, Green Apple, Passion Fruit, Chocolate and Lychee… a great vodka collection to enjoy neat, on the rocks or in your favourite cocktail! Visit the large
every year and new companies featuring, it’s the perfect spot to find original crafts and creations. Crafter Alexander will travel to the show all the way from Marton in the North Island to showcase his range of handcrafted wooden kitchen planters. These have sold out at the past two Expos so Alex is looking forward to seeing the feedback from Christchurch visitors. Make sure you stop by the Artisan Craft Zone at the show and meet some talented small businesses.
