BY GABRIELLE STUART

Schools are warning pupils about stranger danger, after a boy said a motorist tried to entice him into his car.

The 12-year-old was walking to rugby practice at Waltham Park about 3.30pm on Wednesday.

He said a car pulled up along-side him as he was walking along Croydon St, and the driver told

him, “Oi – get in the car”.He turned and ran, and the driv-

er did not seem to follow him.His mother, who did not want

her name used, told the Southern View her son was very shaken by the incident.

She said he regularly walked the route, but it was the first time any-thing of the sort had happened.

She said that it was possible the

man had meant it as a joke, but she thought that was unlikely.

“I think it was pretty sinister be-cause the guy was in his mid to late 30s. It would be different if it was a young guy in a car with his mates.”

Her son described the man as Maori or Polynesian, in his mid to late 30s, wearing a black beanie.

He described the vehicle as a red

car, possibly an early 90s Toyota, with “Coup” in silver lettering along the bottom of the door and C and 3 in the number plate.

The Somerfield resident said she had lodged a report with police and had spoken to principals in the area about her concerns.

She said that police promised to send a child specialist to interview her son. • Turn to page 2

Koru Care Annual Charity Auction

The vintage guardians of New Zealand’s skies formed a winged guard of honour for the guests attending the Koru Care Annual

Charity Auction, as they fi led past to take their places at the dinner tables on July 19. The Air Force Museum’s Aircraft Hall was fi lled with music and the cacophony of the loud and lively bidding for the luxury items, in which was the smartest and biggest hanger party of the year.

Following the dinner, and with attendees emptier in the pocket than at the beginning of the evening, the counting could begin to eventually

enable Koru Care children to take their dream holiday to Disneyland. Canterbury people stepped out on a cold and rainy night and with the national carrier, Air New Zealand, celebrated the 30th Koru Care anniversary in style and with generosity.

Distance learning became per-sonal for two Marian College students after a recent trip to Wellington to meet their class and teacher for the first time.

Jovana Riordan and Georgia Harrison study year 12 eco-nomics as part of the school distance learning programme, a national initiative where stu-dents undertake lessons via Skype.

Jovana found the trip “really enjoyable, especially our visits to the Reserve Bank and Par-liament.”

For Georgia the highlight was meeting her 35 fellow classmates as well as her Auck-land-based teacher, in the flesh, for the first time.

Distance learning has prov-en to be an “interesting way of learning” for Jovana, an ex-perience she is keen to repeat

with the year 13 economics paper she hopes to undertake next year.

“It’s been a fantastic oppor-tunity to be involved with lead-ing-edge education,” she said.

Georgia found the self-discipline required with distance learning had other benefits as well.

Hearing the life stories of a variety of high achievers has motivated a group of Marian College year 12 students to continue to serve their local communities.

At the recent Sir Peter Blake Trust Emerging Leaders’ Con-ference, student leaders from throughout Christchurch heard what was possible when there was a dedication to achieve.

Marian College student Fran-ces Daly said the keynote speaker, William Pike, was amazing to lis-ten to.

“He talked about overcom-ing challenges and using it to turn his life into something posi-tive”.

Mr Pike suffered life-threaten-ing injuries and had his right leg amputated as a young climber, after being caught in a volcanic eruption on Mount Ruapehu in 2007.

In recent years he has estab-lished the William Pike Challenge

Award, New Zealand’s most popu-lar outdoor education programme for primary school children.

Mr Pike’s story also left a strong impression on student Tessa Bar-rett-Walker.

“His message about having con-fidence and never underestimat-ing your ability to be a leader was really relevant.

Finding inspiration

ECONOMICS: Students Jovana Riordan and Georgia Harrison were able to visit the Reserve Bank in Welling-ton on a recent trip to meet their distance learning class.

INSPIRED: The year 12 students who attended the annual Sir Peter Blake Trust Emerging Leaders’ Conference at Christ’s College.

• From page 1She said parents at a rugby

practice at Waltham Park had reported a red car circling sev-eral times around the park later that day, but it didn’t match the description her son gave.

“It could have been a par-

ent looking for their child. At the end of the day we can’t discriminate against every red car.”

She said she would drive her son to and from school in the future.

Waltham Primary School

principal Gordon Caddie said teachers at the school sat chil-dren down last week to remind them about “stranger danger”, after he was contacted by the parent.

He said the school had calls in the past from people who were

concerned about that sort of in-cident, but it hadn’t happened in years.

He said he would be in con-tact with the police and princi-pals of other schools in the area, to make sure parents were well informed.

Crashes triple at ‘tricky’ roundaboutBY MAX TOWLEPolice are worried about a “tricky” roundabout where crashes have tripled since its redevelopment in 2012.

There were nine crashes on the Halswell Junction Rd and Springs Rd multi-lane round-about last year after it reopened in December 2012 to accommo-date the first stage of the South-ern Motorway.

Of those crashes, one resulted in a serious injury, five minor (two in the same crash), and four non-injury.

In the three years before devel-opment, the intersection saw an average of three crashes per year, one being a serious injury.

Police Senior Sergeant and community services manager Peter Stills, who uses the “tricky” roundabout every day, said he was worried about its design.

“If you’re heading to town, you often get people turning right towards the motorway from the centre lane,” he said.

“The right lane has the option to go straight ahead, so you often get drivers cutting across oth-ers.”

Senior Sergeant Stills said at rush hour a glut of drivers covering the lane markings

made things difficult.He said he often saw dan-

gerous driving.“People tend to be in a

hurry so they would take risks that they otherwise wouldn’t take,” he said.

“It’s a large roundabout so drivers think if they pull out in front of someone, there’s a fair chance they’re going to getseen.

“I would urge all drivers using

that intersection to be extra careful.”

Traffic flow through the inter-section has doubled from 10,800 vehicles a day to 21,500 vehicles a day since 2012.

New Zealand Transport Agency highway manager Colin Knaggs said the intersection would change again when con-struction work on stage two of the Southern Motorway begins in late 2015.

▌▌ IN BRIEFBus pick upBuses will make an extra stop to pick up passen-gers outside Barrington shopping centre as a temporary measure until permanent shelters are put in place. Residents in the area have asked Environment Canterbury to provide better shelters outside the mall, but options are still being explored around a bus in-terchange at the shopping centre. Until a decision is made, passengers will be picked up from the shelter at the western end of Atheston St, as well as at the existing stop oppo-site the shopping centre entrance.

New pavilionThe city council has decided to demolish the Woolston Memorial to Fallen Soldiers, but will preserve the original timber frontage. A new pavilion will be built on the same site, and con-struction is expected to be complete by March next year, in time for the An-zac centenary commemo-rations. $206,721 of city council funds have been allocated to the project. Updates on the designs and construction of the project will be provided to both the city council and Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board.

So, tell me what you’re working on at the moment?

I’ve got an exhibition I’ll be hanging on Friday, out in Darfield. The exhibition will be a mix of paintings and sculp-ture. I’ll have five pieces in it from a bit of series, alongside the work of two other artists.

Last time we spoke you were looking for an engineer to help with your Duke Kahanamoku wave sculpture. Did you find one?

I’m still looking. I have just been ringing the council about it this morning, and I’ve already rang around a few of my friends, but no one seems to know any-one who could do it.

Why do you need an engi-neer to help with this piece?

Because it is extremely large, and it’s important that it is com-pletely safe.

Have you ever done anything of this scale before?

I’ve never done anything

this large. It will be 8m long, or maybe even nine – we have not confirmed yet, because they haven’t yet confirmed the bud-get. Everything I’ve done so far has been on a volunteer basis.

How long have you worked as a sculptor?

I’ve been sculpting for around 30 years. It was while I was working on a movie, way back then, that I was inspired to start sculpting. At the beginning I al-ways did a lot of clay work, and I went to a pottery studio at Mt Pleasant to learn how to work clay. It was around that time that limestone came into fashion and I did a symposium focusing on limestone.

From then on I have hardly looked back. I love that process of taking away, rather than add-ing as is done in clay. Since then I’ve done a few ice sculptures, and some work overseas – I was sent with some other artists to our sister city in Adelaide to work on some projects there. I’ve done a few council commis-sions, including the large koru out the back of Stanmore Rd, which was quite a big challenge.

You mentioned that you were working on a movie 30 years ago. What were you doing?

My friend, Trixie, was a

costume designer and I was her helper. It really wasn’t my thing.

So what was it that inspired you to start sculpting?

At the time I just wanted to find what I was, and what I wanted to do. The movie is called Illustrious Energy, and in it there were circus scenes with some amazing papier mache sculptures. I absolutely loved them. I had just returned from travelling the world for about 18 months and, looking back at my photos, they were all of sculptures.

Where did you travel? Or would it be easier to list where

you didn’t go?Probably. I went all through

Asia and all through Europe, and I came home via Sri Lanka where I stayed for three months. I made some amazing friendsthere who have remained my friends for life – which is why I went to Hawaii earlier this year, to create a commission for one of my friends.

After all your travel to exotic locations, what is it that keeps you coming back to South New Brighton?

I love living in South New Brighton. It’s being beside the beach.

On the crest of a wave andArtist Bon Suter is about to start work on a giant sculpture near the New Brighton Pier, to mark 100 years since the visit of Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku to the area. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about her work across the world, in movies, on people’s feet and on the dunes of New Brighton.

SCULPTED: Artist Bon Suter at her home in South New Brighton, where she has developed a public sculpture garden extending out onto the dunes.

I’m a country girl – I grew up in Akaroa – so for me its like heaven, like living out in the country. Sometimes I go for wanders down the beach, and I’m the only one out there.

I’ve heard legends of your sculpture garden. How did it start?

I was working on some sculptures with a friend, a deaf and blind guy called Donald Gibson. I needed more space for the work, so I asked council if I could use the sand dunes opposite my house.

Since then I got several well-known sculptures from across the country, and one English man too, to create sculptures there, and I’ve developed a garden around them.

Do you get a lot of visitors stop by to see it?

I do get quite a lot, mainly overseas visitors. Because I’ve chosen to live in south New Brighton, it’s the road to no-where really, not many people come down this way. So it’s mostly tourists.

If you weren’t an artist, what would you be doing?

I would still be working as a reflexologist, or I do like work-ing with people with disabilities as well.

I worked for a few years in nursing, but at that stage I had three little children, so I left nursing and studied alternative health. I started a clinic and worked for several years as a reflexologist, but I was the only

one at that stage and I had so many people coming to me that I burnt myself out. So I decided to massage stone, not people’s feet.

There’s always been that ste-reotype of the starving artist – how difficult is it to actually make a living from your work?

It’s very hard. You never ever get paid enough for the hours you put in to a piece. I’ve al-ready put in about 100 hours for this wave, which I won’t be paid for, and I’ve spent a fair amount on materials. It will probably cost me more than I will get back.

So what is it that keeps you working as an artist?

The thing I love most is just the fact that I am my own boss and can do my own thing completely. I either do some gardening or get out and work on the sculptures. If it’s a lovely day, there’s nothing better than being out on the dunes.

You mentioned your three small children – they can’t be very small anymore. Do they still live nearby?

I’m incredibly lucky, be-cause almost all my family live in South New Brighton. My children have all grown up and

live in South New Brighton, although one is in Bali and one in England at the moment. They both still have houses here and plan to come back. The third had his house here too, but he’s living with me at the moment as his place was badly damaged in the quakes. It’s lovely to have them so close because I have three grandchildren now as well.

What are your favourite things to do in your free time – if you have free time.

I love walking. I love tramp-ing and going out into the bush, and I love wandering the beach.

What about music? Is there anything you particularly like to listen to while you work?

I usually listen to the national radio programmes to be honest. I quite like classical and blues style, and I went to a concert in Lyttelton the other day which was wonderful – I love to listen to music live.

As far as your work goes, is there anything you would still like to create or achieve?

This great big wave that I’ve been commissioned to build is like the ultimate for me. I’m so honoured to be asked to do it, and so happy that I can create something for the community that I love. There are all sorts of challenges to working with con-crete, so this stuff really appeals. And it’s a collaborative project, which means I won’t be doing all the back-breaking work on my own.

15% off fRAmES

for Supergold Card holders

for purchases over $100.Some exclusions may apply.

[EDITION DATE]2

Centrally located in Barrington Mall with heaps of free parking, Richard Suckling Optometrists is a

family-run business proud to offer a range of services at the highest professional standard for over 20 years.

Optometrists are happy to o� er a 15 per cent discount on frames over $140 to SuperGold card holders. With three quali� ed optometrists on board, customers can usually get an appointment within the week.

For more info, visit Richard Suckling at 256 Barrington Street by the supermarket (open seven days a week), ring (03) 332 1730, or follow them on Facebook www.facebook.c o m / p a g e s / R i c h a r d - S u c k l i n g -Optometrists/535041383211405.Their comprehensive examinations

are painless, friendly and relaxed, with a focus not just on eyesight but on eye health as well. With

the interests of their clients in mind, they have invested in the latest technology for detecting eye diseases, including a digital retinal camera to monitor eye health, a sophisticated scanning laser which can detect glaucoma up to � ve years before it can be detected by conventional examinations and computerised equipment to investigate potential neurological problems.

O� en though, their customers � nd the hardest part of an eye test is choosing their frames a� erwards. With over 800 styles in stock, including top designers such as Oakley, Guess, Diesel, Ray-Ban, Convertibles, Adidas, Skechers and more, the help of the friendly optical assistants is greatly appreciated. � ey are able to give advice based on whether the

frame will be suitable for the prescription to be � tted, how the glasses will match with jobs and lifestyle and, of course, what suits the wearer.

Whether it’s summer or winter, that strong New Zealand sun makes sunglasses an essential accessory, and Richard Suckling Optometrists supplies some of the best quality brands including Ray-Ban, Bolle, Dirty Dog, Randolph and many more. Not all sunglass frames are suitable for prescription lenses; their in-house expertise will ensure that customers select a pair that are not only stylish but provide excellent protection too.

For those customers who want to try contact lenses, the team is on hand to provide quali� ed advice on the many types of lenses available and who they are especially suited for or who would bene� t more from glasses. And customers who purchase Transition Adaptive Lenses before September also go in the draw to win a Vespa scooter.

Having been part of the local community for over two decades, Richard Suckling

Koru Care Annual Charity Auction

The vintage guardians of New Zealand’s skies formed a winged guard of honour for the guests attending the Koru Care Annual

Charity Auction, as they fi led past to take their places at the dinner tables on July 19. The Air Force Museum’s Aircraft Hall was fi lled with music and the cacophony of the loud and lively bidding for the luxury items, in which was the smartest and biggest hanger party of the year.

Following the dinner, and with attendees emptier in the pocket than at the beginning of the evening, the counting could begin to eventually

enable Koru Care children to take their dream holiday to Disneyland. Canterbury people stepped out on a cold and rainy night and with the national carrier, Air New Zealand, celebrated the 30th Koru Care anniversary in style and with generosity.

Are you living with the pain of arthritis? If you are, you may benefit from an exercise programme. Appropriate

exercise can result in reduced pain, reduced stiffness, improved function and better overall wellbeing.

Arthritis New Zealand offers both land and water-based exercise classes in Christchurch. These are held at various times and venues across the city.

An exciting new option is the PEDAL Programme. This joint initiative between Arthritis New Zealand and Sport Canterbury is a an eight-week programme combining stationary cycling and skills for people with arthritis affecting their lower limbs. This free programme commences on Monday, August 4. For further information on any of these exercise programmes, phone 0800 663 463 toll- free, or visit www.arthritis.org.nz.

There are 530,000 New Zealanders living with arthritis and it’s one of the leading causes of disability in New Zealand. And while it is certainly true that many older people have arthritis, it is completely misleading to think of arthritis as being an older person’s disease because arthritis can occur to anyone at any age.

Exercisecan relievearthritis pain Numerous studies have shown

Red Yeast Rice (RYR) extract to be an e� ective, safer option to maintain healthy cholesterol

levels in most people. RYR has long been used in China as a natural preservative, spice and food colouring and is what gives the famous Peking duck its red colour. It has also been used for over a 1000 years as a common Chinese medicine, especially for digestion and healthy blood circulation.

Although RYR contains a nutrient called monacolin K that is chemically similar to the man-made chemical used in statin drugs, a main di� erence is it is a natural substance that the body knows how to handle.

Reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease naturally

Glucosamine & Chondroitin essential for JOINT HEALTH

JOINT HEALTH

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It is also known as degenerative joint disease, and it is characterised by loss

of cartilage and joint degeneration causing pain, joint sti� ness and reduced mobility.

An essential building block for cartilage is glucosamine. Healthy joints actually make their own glucosamine, but only produce cartilage when glucosamine is plentiful. Researchers have found taking su� cient glucosamine appears to trigger the joints’ own production of glucosamine and formation of new cartilage in many cases. It has also been shown to reduce pain and increase joint mobility better than taking

pharmaceutical pain relievers.Chondroitin sulphate is a natural part of

cartilage and connective tissue. Researchers have found if they supply the body with extra chondroitin from shark cartilage, this helps by supplying nutrients for the formation of new cartilage and connective tissue. It acts like a � uid magnet, drawing � uids and nutrients into the cartilage, enabling it to grow and be replaced.

Glucosamine and chondroitin in su� cient amounts appear to have a synergistic a� ect and may speed the formation of new cartilage and connective tissue.

Phone Marshall’s Health & Natural � erapy on 388 5757.

RYR has been shown to maintain the good HDL cholesterol, while reducing LDL cholesterol but also very e� ective at reducing triglycerides that have been shown to be a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Not only this, but RYR has also been shown to lower lipoprotein(a), a damaging blood fat that can have 10 times greater risk factor for cardiovascular disease than high LDL cholesterol.

Statins are known to reduce Co-Q10 levels that can cause muscle pain, aching joints, low energy and cardiovascular problems. As a precaution and for extra cardiovascular protection, CO-Q10 is added to RYR formulas.

GARDENING

Is your garden ready for the summer season?

A bit of quick colour can do wonders, so fill bowls with flowering plants like petunias, geraniums or lobellias.

Container plants are popular but when it comes to potting mix, confusion reigns. Is potting mix really necessary? Won’t soil do the same job?

And is it true that potting mix can be dangerous to handle?

Here are some answers to these common questions:

Why should I use a qual-ity potting mix?

A quality potting mix provides the best grow-ing medium for container plants.

Quality potting mixes, unlike soil, maintain a prop-er balance between holding moisture and draining well.

This means that plant roots can have access to sufficient water without the risk of drowning or dying from lack of oxygen.

Soil, because its texture varies so greatly, isn’t always suitable to use in pots.

Potting mixes can be specifically formulated for special purposes and situations.

This means you can

provide plants with the most suitable conditions for healthy growth.

Tips for re-potting Start by watering thor-

oughly. Invert the pot and carefully remove the plant. Don’t pull it by the stem. Sometimes it helps to roll the pot on its side and squeeze gently to loosen the roots.

In extreme cases it may be necessary to break the old pot or cut it away from the root ball. Remove some of the old potting mix and check the roots for damage or disease. Trim these back to a healthy section.

Re-pot into (preferably) a slightly larger pot. Firm into place but don’t press too hard or you’ll risk damag-ing the roots. Leave at least 2cm of space at the top of the mix for watering. Water thoroughly.

This settles the mix into

place and removes air pock-ets. A few weeks later, feed with a fertiliser that suits container plants.

Don’t use dry, granular fertilisers – such as rose food – because there’s too great a risk of burn-ing roots. Instead stick to controlled release or liquid plant foods.

Is potting mix danger-ous?

Like soil and organic mat-ter, potting mixes may carry any one of a range of benefi-cial or harmful bacteria.

To avoid problems it’s best to follow some simple precautions when handling any of these materials.

Keep potting mix moist, avoid breathing dust from potting mix, wear gloves and, most importantly, wash your hands with soap and water when you’ve finished potting, or working with soil or organic matter.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT HEAT PUMPS

If you are rebuilding or repairing your home, Enviro Master can offer you a complete solution to meet your individual heating, cooling and ventilation needs.

Many housing companies offer a package deal and therefore may size or position your heat pump incorrectly. It is best

to talk to the experts to tailor a solution to best suit your individual requirements. This can be done from your architectural plans or from a free in-home consultation.

Heat pumps are known to be one of the most energy-efficient forms of heating available. In addition to being able to provide up to 4.9 kilowatt of energy for every 1kW used, there are the added benefits of cooling, dehumidifying and air filtration (great for people with allergies or asthma) benefits no other heating appliance can offer.

Ducted and multi-systems are becoming increasingly popular, providing climate-controlled comfort throughout your home or workplace. We are also able to incorporate ventilation into ducted systems.

Enviro Master Ltd is your air conditioning and heat pump specialist and has been servicing the Christchurch area for over 12 years now.

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services all the leading brands, including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin.

This means our team can show you which system and brand will best suit your needs in either your workplace or home. We are also able to repair any brand of heat pump.

Servicing your heat pump is extremely important to ensure that it is working as effectively and efficiently as possible, resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump, lower power bills and greater comfort. But beware, not all cleaning companies are equal. We are constantly hearing of people being charged huge amounts for servicing and all they are getting is a heat pump clean. We at Enviro Master are qualified engineers and therefore are able to fully test and diagnose any problems you may or may not be aware of with your heat pump. Also, as we are associated with all major brands, we are able to repair these under warranty if they are still within the warranty period.

For a free in-home consultation, call Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our showroom at 41A Shakespeare Road, Waltham, Christchurch.

We currently have savings up to $800 off the recommended retail price on selected models.

outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not eff ective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed.

We breathe in and out approximately 20,000 litres of air everyday. It is, therefore, very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation. Ventilation is the process of air exchange to provide the necessary air quality that meets

the needs of the occupants for clean, fresh air. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffi ness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation. However, as winter approaches, we start to shut up houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline.
