80 years on and still in loveEMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

Almost 80 years ago, a young Edna Noble was told by her mother that she couldnt marry her sweetheart.

She refused to obey her mother, and now 73 years later, she and that sweetheart Gil-bert Kessel are still married.

On Tuesday the couple, who lived in Cashmere before recently moving into a Halswell rest home, celebrated their an-niversary.

Edna said not even curfew dur-ing the war years could separate the couple.

Isnt it wonderful? We were really in love. We wouldnt be without each other you know even when the war was on and they said youre not supposed to be out on the streets at a certain time of night, hed still come down on his bike [to see me], Edna Kessel said.

The two met in the early 1940s, at a dance school close to Cathedral Square.

The future Mrs Kessel had been going to classes with a girlfriend there, when she met Mr Kessel on the dance floor.

In a Cinderella-type move she had to leave him at 11pm to catch the tram home.

I looked round and my girl-friend was going . . . so I had to leave him in the middle of the room. I was worried after that, that I might never see him again.

But at the very next dance, Mr Kessel was there. It was love at first sight for the two of them

but it was going to be two years before they could get married.

First Mr Kessel was sent off to war, and sent back shortly after because of hearing damage he sustained while working with fighter planes.

He was one of the only ones from his squadron to survive, Mrs Kessel said: I was lucky to get him back.

Next came her mother ada-mant she should give up Mr Kessel for the nice boy down the road.

I said no to that, but I had to

wait until I was 21 to get mar-ried, Mrs Kessel said.

The two bought a nice home on Cashmere hill a few years later, and brought up three chil-dren there.

They later moved into a re-tirement village.

While Mr Kessels health is deteriorating, his wife is con-stantly by his side: He cant always hear what Im saying, but I pat his hand and say to him alright poppa. He seems to get the message.

STILL IN LOVE: Gilbert and Edna Kessel celebrated 73 years of marriage this week. Left: The couples wedding photo in 1942.

Bureaucratic constipation has been blamed for a Woolston transitional project almost dou-bling in cost to $120,000.

The former Woolston Com-munity Library site on Ferry Rd, was to be turned into a commu-nity space with a small library, toilet block, green space and seating.

The city council budget for the project was about $65,000.

Instead costs have blown out to $120,000 after running into issues such as underground in-frastructure requirements.

City councillor Paul Lonsdale said the delays were unneces-sary and caused by red-tape.

For me this seems to be bu-reaucratic constipation, he said, at Wednesdays Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board meeting.

I just wonder if we cant just work with the council to figure out a way to have these sites

managed without having this bureaucracy.

To put a lid on the burgeon-ing cost, the board elected to cut down the project, including get-ting rid of the toilet block.

Full costs would be known in the new year.

The board also recommended the organisers get on with it as Woolston residents and library staff had been waiting too long.

City council urban design and regeneration team member Ka-tie Smith, told the community board last week the project had run into a number of issues.

They included sediment con-trols, storm water issues, the

neighbouring site being a HAIL site, and it needing an archaeo-logical report done because of the age of the old building, she said.

Its almost as if we were do-ing a full rebuild, weve had to jump through the same hoops, she said.

Initially, volunteers were go-ing to carry out a lot of work, however, this had raised health and safety concerns.

Because of this, the city coun-cil put the project out for tender.

The tender offers came back about two weeks ago with the cost of the work all coming back between $120,000-$147,000.

The city council has already put $30,000 into the project in-cluding having the temporary li-brary built, seating and the com-munity notice board materials.

About $1.25m has been bud-geted to rebuild a permanent li-brary on the site, however, that amount has been criticised as being too low to meet the com-munitys needs.

A date has not been set for the rebuild.

Councillor Yani Johanson said it had almost got to the point they should put the money into the new building rather than spend-ing it on a transitional project.

The cost just seems extraor-dinary.

DERELICT: Nearly a year after plans surfaced to have the Ferry Rd site transformed into a community space, nothing has been done.

Bureaucratic constipation to blame

BALLOONED: The cost of the original plans for the transitional project at the former Woolston Community Library site have now doubled in cost.

SPCA Canterbury chief executive Barry Helem

Every sum-mer SPCA Canterbury responds to numerous animal emergencies involving animals suffering from heat-related issues.

Weather forecasters are predicting a long and hot sum-mer this festive season and with temperatures soaring, such intense heat is not only dangerous for humans, but for animals as well.

Cars in particular, are poten-tial death traps for pets over the summer months. Unless your car trip is for the benefit of your animal, I strongly urge pet owners to leave your pets at home.

A joy ride in your car to the local supermarket or shopping mall, could be risking your pets life. On a 30 deg C day, the temperature inside your car will reach 39 deg C in 10min even in the shade with the

windows slightly opened. In 30min it will go up to 49 deg C. A dog can withstand a body temperature of 41 deg C for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage, and then death.

It is also important to ensure all animals have access to fresh drinking water and adequate

shelter for protection from the sun and heat. Unfortunately every summer many animals succumb to heat stress but this can be avoided if people are vigilant and take proper precautions.

Another common issue facing pet owners at this time of year is deciding when to exercise their pet. Owners should exercise dogs during the coolest time of day and ensure that the pads of their feet are not burnt on hot pavement or beaches.

To help provide ongoing animal care advice to the public, SPCA Canterbury has created a Beat the Heat tips page on its website; www.spcacanterbury.org.

nz, encouraging animal safety during the summer months.

If you are concerned about the welfare of an animal, please phone the SPCA immediately on 349 7057.

MARK THOMAS FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Last Sundays wee hailstorm caused a sharp increase in emergency calls handled by the citys firefighters. In the two hours from about 1.30pm, 30 calls could be attributed to the storm with some others later that were possibly weather related.

The majority of incidents, 19 of them, were fire alarm systems in commercial buildings malfunction-ing from getting wet.

But we also saw a couple of houses set on fire by lightning,

some properties flooded or suffer-ing leaks, power lines down, and even a tree in Diamond Harbour struck by lightning and catching on fire.

Otherwise during the week the most notable incident was the delib-erate ignition of three townhouses under construction in Aranui on Saturday night. Three houses that would have made someones 2016 a special year. The year they moved into a brand spanking new double-glazed unit. Except that is now delayed. By the act of somebody, possibly even from within the same

community, whose contempt for that community is obvious in the charred remains.

Its sad. Its also infuriating. Im sure many in the community have the same question as I do. Why?

Duckling rescues continue to consume the time of our crews with three this week. There was also the dismantling of a freestanding fire place flue in Somerfield last week to free a trapped bird. Only there wasnt one. Im sure our crew did their best to assist the slightly pink faced owner reinstate his flue before leaving.

A Sydenham dance academy knows how to produce top-notch dancers.

The Anneliese Gilberd Acad-emy has had two of its students accepted into the New Zealand School of Dance, and four into Australian academies.

Teagan Tank and Calum Gray, who are both full-time students at the academy, will be classi-cal majors at the New Zealand School of Dance next year.

The pair were the only classi-cal dancers to be accepted from the South Island.

Weve been working the whole year for auditions and that is pretty intense. Then we finally got a letter to say we got in, and that was pretty amaz-

ing, Teagan said.I started full time this year to

get ready for that audition, and getting into the New Zealand School of Dance which we did, Calum said.

Eleanor Gleeson will join Melbourne City Ballet School in the professional graduate programme, while Rebecca Wil-lis will be there in the full-time programme.

Jasmine Kyle has been ac-cepted into Sydneys Alegria Dance Studios in the full-time programme, and Arabella Nimmo will join the full-time programme at Queensland Bal-let School.

Rebecca said it was amaz-ing to get the opportunity to go overseas with ballet.

Yeah, its going to be really cool moving away from home and stuff, and moving countries.

Its just that next step I guess, and its just really exciting, Eleanor said.

Academy director Anneliese Gilberd said she was so proud of her students for getting into the school.

Its my job to help them get to the next level so as much as Ill miss them it means that Ive done the best I can.

EQC AND THE SIX-YEARCLAIM LIMITATION PERIOD.

EQCs position is that it does not consider the six-year limitation period runs from the date of each Canterbury earthquake. So for example, there is no 4 September 2016 deadline to bring Court proceedings challenging an EQC claim settlement for damage caused by the 4 September 2010 earthquake.

However, time limits can apply to bringing Court proceedings challenging EQC claims settlements at some point after 4 September 2016. Under the Limitation Act 1950 and the Limitation Act 2010, EQC expects that, generally speaking:

where an EQC claim has already been settled, the six-year time limit for bringing Court proceedings will run from the date EQC settled that claim;

where an EQC claim has not already been settled, the six-year time limit for bringing Court proceedings will start running when EQC settles that claim; or

where a claim is declined, the six-year limitation periodwill run from the date that EQC declines the claim.

Seek the view of your private insurer if appropriate

EQCs position refers only to claims brought under the EQC Act.

how limitation legislation applies to policies provided by private insurers (which are not covered by the EQC Act) may differ and people should talk with their private insurer and potentially their lawyer about their individual claims.

From vandalism to professionalism

Hello! Before we even start the first thing Id like to know is what is your real name?

Nick Tam, basically Ikarus is just the name I write. I do a lot of traditional font-based graffiti and thats just what I write.

Great name. The Spectrum festival is in full swing at the moment. How have you pre-pared for it?

Myself and two other artists Wongi Wilson and Jacob Yikes worked on one of the rooms at the YMCA and transformed a empty squash court into an abandoned factory warehouse type area. We had a bunch of walls built and artificially aged everything, and built different rooms then paint-ed a graffiti style in it. The room it leads into has been set up as a nature-forest type scene.

You are quite prolific with your work. Are you excited about the Spectrum festival.

Yes, definitely. There is a good attitude towards graffiti especially since the earthquakes. A lot of people are more accepting of it because they see what a positive impact it has on a space now.

Yes, because I was going to ask you what effect the earth-quakes have had on street art. I believe it is quite positive.

Yes, definitely. Obviously as an artist myself weve always seen it from that view. A lot of the places we paint do tend to be run down not that fancy space in the first place so Ive always seen it as a place that makes ar-eas better. But I guess with how much destruction, demolition and rebuilding that has been go-ing on, there is a lot of areas that everyone was getting sick of see-ing. They can now see the differ-ence a bunch of bright colours and pictures make.

What do you think about the negative connotations associ-ated to street art?

Its a fine line between being understandable and ignorance. It depends on what level of interac-tion people have had with street art. If someones only experience with graffiti is that they have had property of theirs tagged then you can understand the negativ-ity. But people just seem to be afraid of any work that comes out of a spray can. There is just a negative connotation to a spray can. So if it is that sort of thing then I find it kind of ridiculous. It doesnt seem to happen much anymore but in the past someone might have said: Id rather just see a blank wall I dont under-stand why this is better than the other side of it.

Do you think Christchurch could be becoming almost like the street art hub of New Zea-land?

Absolutely. There are plans to definitely make that the case if not of the Southern Hemisphere or the world. People are trying to do ground-breaking things. Even all the shows that have happened in the past three years have been up there.

On a more personal level,

what has your most proudest achievement been?

Being in the two Spectrum show in the past couple of years have been pretty good. The origi-nal show George Shaw and his team put on called the RISE fes-

tival at the Canterbury Museum was right up there because I never thought Id get to paint and exhibit art in a museum. I didnt even think Canterbury Museum would necessarily want to be in-volved with graffiti.

The attitude towards street art has changed immensely for the better since the earthquakes. Georgia OConnor-Harding speaks to one of the citys most upcoming street artist Ikarus about his involvement in the Spectrum Art Festival on how his work evolved from vandalism into professionalism

the other side of street artThey were a bit hesitant about

it but it turned out positive for everyone. All of their attendance records they previously had lifted.

Whats the most interesting place you have ever spray-painted?

Sometimes weve done large walls where you are painting on a scissor lift 8m in the air. But in my younger days, before I was doing legal work, I painted a bunch of roof tops, abandoned buildings and train yards quite interesting.

And no one worried at all?Oh I mean, yeah. It just was

what it was. You do these sort of things when you are young.

When you were in school were you always getting in trouble for drawing or have you always been interested in art?

No, not at all actually. I got in-volved in art strictly through the vandalism side of graffiti. I was a tagger kid when I was young. Tagging was the only thing I was ever better at than other people so you know small amounts of positive reinforcements eventu-ally did wonders.

When was the turning point?I got too old to be doing what

I consider tagging and started developing towards what I am

today. A few of my friends were painting so we just kept pushing each other and it just sort of or-ganically happened. Something negative turned into something positive. I run a bunch of work-shops with different youth organ-isations or alternative education schools. A lot of that is where I get to work with kids that are not necessarily doing the best.

Where did you grow up?Ive moved around a lot as a

kid but I have lived in Linwood the most from the time I was 14 up until two or three years ago.

Definitely in Linwood that was where I got into graffiti and the art side of it.

When did you get into art?When I was about 20. Any in-

terest I have in art , any mentor-ing tutor lessons I have all of it comes 100 per cent from van-dalism. I just wanted to vandalise stuff until I got to the point where I thought I was screwing up my life. If you are going to screw it up, do it better. I remember think-ing I may need to stop because I might end up going to jail.

Have there been any risks

where you might have ended up going to jail?

Yes, because I have been caught a few times and been through the courts a few times. My first and second ones were about four months apart. So they are not going to keep letting you commit the same crime even if its petty. Theyll just say you are clearly not learning your les-son if we catch you again you are going to jail.

Do you have family now?No, no kids, no way. Kids are

cool but I dont want to be re-

sponsible for raising a well-bal-anced human being. I dont know a lot of well-balanced human be-ings. I know a lot of stuff but I dont know if it is going to be useful. At the moment I can kind of do what I want to do.

Do you have any artists that inspire you?

Not really any names that any-one has heard of. There are a few various graffiti artists around the world. A lot of them are the people I am closest to and know. Seeing people you know achieve things is much more inspirational to me.

Definitely quite a process. Is it correct you do a lot of work in the eastern suburbs?

I havent for a while but that is definitely where I grew up and got started. We do have a lot of work around the city.

Any projects planned after Spectrum?

There are a couple of things coming up but not decided yet. I have a couple of groups inter-ested in workshops. I would like to do a group show or exhibition just between Jacob, Wongi and myself sometime soon. Some-where central and not too big.

Well I think that sums up everything. All the best for the future.

Linwood Colleges young ecol-ogists have scoured the school grounds for flora and fauna as part of a Lincoln University initiative.

More than 100 students took part in the EcoBlitz, with the universitys ecology depart-ment, surveying the grounds to see what they share the site with.

Sites were prepared with a range of devices to gather evidence of different types of creature, including pitfall traps, wax bait stations sweetened with glucose, tracking tunnels and yellow pan traps designed

to imitate the appearance of a flower.

Students counted and pho-tographed 61 different species and 655 specimens on site.

Head of science Helen Mora said the buzz of excitement and interest was palpable.

This ticks so many boxes for engaging students with science but the biggest win was how excited the kids were.

Students learned techniques for sampling, monitoring meth-ods and how to collate the data before carrying out the survey.

Later in the day, they entered that data into a database for ac-cess and analysis as the project

goes on.

SUCCESS: Student Bonart Dunning examines a bumble bee. PHOTOS: MIKE BOWIE

SCIENCE: Student Kane Tahu in the lab.

COMPLETE: The finished product.

St Annes Catholic School took on the challenge to express what its community meant to it as part of a transitional project.

The city council gave a large pot to the school to paint with the theme what Woolston means to you.

The pot will be placed on the site of the former Woolston Community Library, which was demolished after the earth-quakes.

The site is now being turned into a transitional space, and the pot will be put there in the New Year.

Teacher aid, Sulekha Korga-nonkar, helped brainstorm ideas with each class in the school.

The pupils then submitted drawings and design ideas to her.

Once the ideas had been finalised, Ms Korganonkar co-ordinated pupils of all ages to come out and help paint the pot.

The pupils loved the process and did not want the pot to go.

It will be stored over the holi-days ready for the community area when it is ready.

EXPRESSION: Chris and Sabrina paint what they like about Woolston.

NEARLY DONE: Jamal, Kristyl and Zana put the finishing touches on the project.

READY TO GO: Opawa School pupils Taylah, Bonnie, Paige and Lauren get ready to perform in the junior showcase concert held on Decem-ber 4. The concert was made up of kapa haka, a performance from the recorder orchestra and some singing. One of the highlights of the show was The Pukeko in the Ponga Tree where pupils and teachers had fun preparing the costumes and props, as well as remembering the words.

FUN IN THE SUN: Opawa School held its Christmas Family Picnic recently to see out the year. Families brought along their own picnics and there was a sausage sizzle and a bake sale. The children, and some adults, had a lot of entertainment with Segways, two bouncy slides and crazy bikes there for them to have a go on.

DRESSED UP: Pupils sang The Pukeko in the Ponga Tree as part of Opawa Schools junior showcase concert.

HAVING A GO: Opawa School pupil Blake Stiles has fun on a Segway.

FUN: Casey Erkkila has a go on the bouncy slide.

tasty bites

Irresistible puddingsEven family and friends who have dieted all year can be tempted with decadent desserts during the festive season, writes Jan Bilton

Repeat the layers, reserv-ing a few cherries for the top. Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. Serve garnished with the mint.

163 COLOMBO ST

[Edition datE]2

Christmas is a time for celebration, spending time with friends and family and enjoying festive foods and drinks. Nutrition-wise, this festive fare can be a challenge.

Here are some simple tips to help you survive the festivities:

Dont try to lose weight over the festive season. With parties, families and all the special foods that go with Christmas, its going to be just about impossible! Your main aim should be to maintain your weight (using some of the tips below!)

Eat regular meals. If you skip meals you are more likely to fill up on high fat snacks. It only takes a few of these snacks to add up to more calories than your usual meal.

Avoid going to a function hungry, you can easily eat a lot of party food in a short time.

Have a small snack beforehand like a bowl of cereal, yoghurt or a sandwich are quick and will help fill you up. It will also help if you are well hydrated, so try drinking a few glasses of water before you arrive.

Deep fried foods, crumbed and battered foods, cheese platter and nuts are all high in fat. Choose fruit, vegetable or bread based snacks.

If you are hosting the party, offer your guests a range of healthy snacks. Always popular are hummus or salsa dips with vegetable sticks.

If you are taking a plate, make yours a healthy option. How about a platter of fruit currently in season?

Listen to your body and stop eating when you feel full.

Just say No to food mentally practice

Festive Season Survival Tips

strategies to decline food offers. For example: It looks amazing but I am full or I tried it and it was great.

Chat and mingle. If you are bored at a party youre more likely to hover around the food table or seek out the serving platter. A good conversation can distract you from the food. Avoid standing right beside the food table or bar while youre talking.

Consider your drinks, they can add to the calorie count very quickly. Try diluting your alcoholic drinks, such as a spritzer ( wine, soda). If you prefer spirits, try a diet mixer. Lite beers are lower in calories and alcohol. Remember soft drinks, juices, punches, tonic water and flavoured mineral water can all have similar calories to alcoholic drinks.Be aware of how much you are actually

drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with glasses of water and non-alcoholic choices. Keep Active. Join in the Christmas backyard cricket game or go for a walk with friends or relatives. Remember youre aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity each day. If your regular exercise class stops over the Christmas break, plan other types of exercise - organise your friends and put a date in your diary.

If you do really overdo the festive foods or drinks, take a deep breath and start the next day afresh with healthy foods and some exercise. No fasting - just sensible eating. Remember, a few parties dont make you overweight, its what you do all the other days of the year which count.

Be aware of how much you are actually drinking

Quality architecture...beautifully appointed 8 Birchgrove Gardens, MairehauAuction: Thursday, Jan 28, at 10am (471 Papanui Rd, unless sold prior)3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | Listing #: PI39884

In my opinion, this is one of the best-kept secrets of Shirley located down a private drive where you can be assured of privacy and quietness. The home was the winner of a gold

award in the 2012 Master Builders House of the Year Awards for excellence in workmanship, creativity and innovation by Mike Greer Homes. It is constructed of lightweight concrete, and features a very cool and funky mono-pitch roof design.

Quality exudes from this house with tiled bathrooms, granite bench in the kitchen with a great butlers pantry and large open plan living flowing into a private courtyard, and landscaped garden area.

This is definitely no drive-by as viewing is sure to impress. My owners have purchased their next home and make no mistake this will be sold!

Sited on a TC2 freehold section of 589m2, and designed with the desire and love for entertaining, both indoor and outdoor, this will be a house not to just enjoy but one to truly love!

For a private viewing, contact Cameron Bailey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 555 7079.
