To get that sort of effect, create new methods with new names.

You can "rescue" a method being overridden, to give access to the
parent method, by creating a method with a new name or signature in
the same class you overrode the base method that calls the parent
method with super.xxxx.

Politicians complain that Kindles and iBooks are killing jobs by 
destroying the paper book industry.  I see it that they have create a way 
to produce books for less than a third the cost without destroying forests 
and emitting greenhouse gases in the process.  They have created wealth.  
They are encouraging literacy and cutting the costs of education.
