Risk over dry stream plan 

• By Gabrielle Stuart and Andrew 

King 

A POTENTIAL solution to 

drying streams in the north-west 

has been found, but it comes 

with a risk: The flow-on effects 

could dry other streams. 

Both the Waimairi and Wai-iti 

streams have dried out and, in 

March, more than 40 residents 

signed a petition asking the city 

council to do something about it. 

Several options for feeding 

the streams were put forward in 

a report put to the Fendalton- 

Waimairi Community Board 

yesterday, which included creating 

a new bore or diverting water 

from existing ones. 

The cost of a new bore was estimated 

a between $250,000 and 

$350,000, and diverting water 

from an existing bore in Burnside 

Park has been estimated to 

cost $125,000. But the report also 

warned the potential solution 

could come at a cost. 

“Augmentation of one stream 

may have negative effects on 

other streams, by diverting shallow 

groundwater which would 

otherwise go to another stream,” 

the report said. 

Community board deputy 

chairman David Cartwright was 

concerned the board did not 

have enough information about 

the potential effects of the bores. 

“I’m certainly wanting to 

maintain streams as they are 

part of Christchurch’s heritage, 

but not if it is at the detriment of 

the greater Christchurch ecology 

or aquifers,” he said. 

He wanted to see more information 

about the flow-on effects, 

how the water levels would be 

monitored and if a new bore 

could be shut off, before a final 

decision was made. 

He was also concerned about 

the wider problem of dropping 

aquifer levels, and whether more 

streams would dry in the future. 

Money spent on the bores 

could reduce the budget for other 

water programmes supporting 

the greater aquifer system. 

Climate change, a drier than 

average winter and more urbanisation 

preventing water seeping 

back into the ground are the 

main reasons there have been 

low water levels, according to the 

report. 

Fendalton resident Kristina 

Pickford, who has the Wai-iti 

Stream running through her 

property, agreed longer-term 

solutions to the low aquifer levels 

needed to be prioritised.

NOR’WEST NEWS 

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News.............3, 5, 6, 7 & 23 

THE NEW local body election 

wards have thrown up a few 

interesting issues. One of the 

most intriguing is that there are 

many candidates not opting to 

go for the ward they live in (page 

5). Waimairi Ward, for example, 

is guaranteed not to have a city 

councillor who lives in the area, 

while Harewood has candidates 

from Cashmere vying for the 

table. Though it is not a legal 

requirement, it seems like strategy 

is playing a heavy part in this. 

In my humble opinion, there is 

nothing like being at the grass 

roots of a community to truly 

know the issues and heart of the 

area. 

Current city councillor Jamie 

Gough takes a shot at the new 

wards in his opinion piece this 

week (page 4). Postal election 

ballots are delivered to mailboxes 

from Friday – choose wisely.

Major sporting hub plan 

• By Andrew King 

THE ELMWOOD Club is 

looking to undertake a major 

expansion of its facilities by 

building on a nearby school. 

The Ministry of Education 

and the club have a verbal contract 

allowing the club to build 

a “major sporting hub” on land 

that belongs to Heaton Normal 

Intermediate on Heaton St. 

The club is made up of seven 

different sporting clubs, including 

Lincoln University Rugby 

Football Club, St Nicholas 

Netball Club, Elmwood Bowling 

Club, Elmwood Croquet Club, 

Old Boys Collegians Cricket 

Club, High School Old Boys’ 

Burnside Hockey, High School 

Old Boys’ Football Club and the 

Shirley Volleyball Club. 

It currently has a bowling 

green, beach volleyball courts 

and croquet facilities and also 

backs onto Elmwood Park 

which has grounds for cricket 

and football. 

A planner has been employed 

by the club to figure out what 

can be built, how much it will 

cost and how they will fund it. 

The idea is to include multiuse 

indoor courts, clubrooms, 

gym space and sports medicine 

facilities. 

UPGRADE: Elmwood Club sports co-ordinator Erin Hyde said a 

new sports facility would allow the already popular grounds to 

expand and provide a better service. 

A city council independent 

hearing committee has ruled 

the building can go ahead 

provided it does not affect surrounding 

residents. 

Club sports co-ordinator 

Erin Hyde said it is a fantastic 

opportunity to grow sports in 

the area. 

“We want to create a real 

community vibe . . . we are in 

a central part of town with a 

strong community focus,” she 

said. 

The seven clubs have 2600 

members between them, and 

more than 75,000 people pass 

through the doors each year, Ms 

Hyde said. 

Club board member Lorraine 

McLeod said the key is to work 

with the surrounding community 

and schools to make the 

best possible facility. 

“Both Heaton and St Andrew’s 

will have prioritised use,” 

she said. 

“We are now at the stage that 

we need to replace our current 

buildings with something modern 

and usable . . . It will be the 

icing on the cake for those who 

use it,” she said. 

Sport Canterbury chief executive 

Julyan Falloon said any 

collaboration between schools 

and clubs was a great thing, 

provided it was not doubling up 

on current facilities. 

“They are hard to get started, 

but have huge value once up and 

running,” he said.

In Brief 

HOUSE FIRE 

A rubbish truck driver risked his life 

on Friday at about 6.30am when he 

spotted a house fire in Burnside. He 

broke the windows to alert anyone 

inside about the danger. Luckily noone 

was home at the time. However, 

a pet dog died in the blaze. 

Early indications suggest the fire 

started in the lounge and then 

gutted the house. Fire crews from 

Harewood fought the blaze for close 

to an hour. 

DEEPENING BORES 

The city council is set to speed up 

efforts to replace shallow bores, 

which provide drinking water to the 

north-west of Christchurch, with 

ones that are deeper. It’s a recommendation 

from the infrastructure, 

transport and environment committee. 

There are 22 bores in the 

north-west catchment, supplying 

about 80,000 people. The shallowest 

of these is 16m. The deep bores 

which provide water to other parts 

of the city reach depths of about 

100m. The work is due to be completed 

in June 2018. 

ROADING DETOURS 

The intersection of Westminister 

St, Roosevelt St and Courtenay St 

in St Albans will be closed while 

an intersection upgrade is carried 

out. Motorists can use Cranford St, 

Innes Rd and Rutland St to detour 

around the work site.

City 

councillor 

Jamie Gough 

writes this 

week’s 

opinion piece 

on being the 

Lone Ranger 

of Fendalton and how the 

system may not encourage 

people to get involved with 

the city council. 

Being the Lone Ranger of Fendalton 

– due to an unopposed 

re-election to the city council – 

is a slightly odd feeling. 

I’m torn with emotion as my 

successful bid for a third term 

was obviously a goal for the year, 

however, I’m disappointed about 

what it says for democracy. 

The new representation model, 

which the city council adopted 

earlier this year, changed the way 

our council is elected – the ward 

sizes were shrunk, so instead 

of multiple councillors elected 

over a wider area, it became a 

winner-take-all system with one 

councillor elected per small area. 

Further to this, more councillors 

were added in total. 

I cannot see how this achieves 

anything positive as it virtually 

ensures incumbents have 

a stranglehold on their small 

patch. 

Dare I say it, but I suspect 

this may have been exactly what 

some people wanted. 

What it will mean for the 

working dynamics is also worrying; 

the system will incentivise 

councillors to loose sight of the 

bigger picture, which is the vital 

ingredient of good governance. 

I come from a private-enterprise 

background and don’t plan 

on being a councillor for life, so 

to be perfectly frank, having a 

cushy re-election road is of no 

interest to me. 

What I actually care about is 

having a system that encourages 

capable people to put their hand 

up, because having quality councillors 

around the table is what’s 

really important. 

This is exactly why I voted 

against the model we now have. 

Having the most conflicted 

people in the world – the councillors 

themselves – effectively 

driving the process which dictates 

their re-employment is a 

complete nonsense. 

Something needs to change 

and I plan on trying to have this 

self-serving model kicked for 

touch.

new system discourage 

people from putting their 

hand up to become city 

councillors? Share your

JUST WHEN we were getting 

used to warmer days and 

shorter nights on Wednesday we 

got reminded just how winter 

could have been with a polar 

blast sweeping through the city. 

While there was a bit of hail, 

a bit of wind and a lowering of 

temperature before 2pm it was 

from 4.35 pm on wards that 

everything went off for our fire 

crews. 

Between then and 2am the 

next morning we attended 37 

incidents caused by the weather. 

It wasn’t a great night to be 

a tree with 18 of these being 

uprooted right across the city, 

interrupting power and blocking 

roads. 

There were also garden sheds, 

trampolines, a car port, some 

roofs and even a campervan 

near Akaroa blown over or 

away.

A wild night that included

Hopefully, now we’ll cruise 

towards summer with no more

In fact we’ll probably be 

moaning about nor’westers 

soon. 

Which means we need to be 

careful with anything, including 

barbecues, that might start fire. 

Friday a week ago saw fire 

in Bottle Lake Forest which is 

always a concern. 

Normally, we go to deliberately-lit 

fires started by idiots who 

seem to think it a good idea. 

However, this time a loader 

working at the landfill had a fuel 

hose burst and diesel poured 

over its electrics when then 

shorted out. 

The resulting fire was probably 

quite a shock to the driver. 

It was going well when St 

Albans crew arrived but was 

quickly extinguished.

Few candidates live in wards 

• By Andrew King and 

Bridget Rutherford 

HALF OF the candidates 

standing for the city council in 

the north-west do not live in the 

wards they are competing in. 

Between Harewood, 

Waimairi, Papanui, Fendalton 

and Innes Wards there are 12 

candidates looking for a spot 

around the city council table 

come October. 

Of those 12, only Brian 

Gargiulo and Aaron Keown 

(Harewood), John Stringer 

(Papanui), Jamie Gough 

(Fendalton), Pauline Cotter and 

Mel Rodricks (Innes), live in the 

wards they are standing in. 

Current city councillor 

Pauline Cotter and Mel 

Rodricks both live and will 

compete in the Innes Ward, 

Jamie Gough was re-elected 

after he ran unopposed in the 

Fendalton Ward and John 

Stringer will compete for a seat 

Elections 16 

in his home ward of Papanui. 

Both candidates in the 

Waimairi Ward do not live in 

the area. 

Current city councillor Raf 

Manji lives in Fendalton and 

said he has been closely involved 

in the District Plan issues in that 

area. 

“I am not a fan of the new ward 

system for councillors but that’s 

what we have for now,” he said. 

Anthony Rimell lives in 

Central and said he is standing 

in Waimairi because that’s 

where he grew up, got married 

and first had his family. 

“I could have chosen to 

stand elsewhere, but this is an 

area I love, and really want to 

represent,” he said. 

Harewood is the most 

contested ward in the city with 

five candidates. 

Faimeh Burke, who lives in 

Fendalton but is running for 

Harewood said most areas of the 

new Harewood Ward, used to be 

part of the Fendalton-Waimairi 

Ward. 

“I have represented [that area] 

as a community board member 

for the last 12 years,” she said. 

Rod D Cameron, who lives in 

Cashmere and is running for 

Harewood, said the Harewood 

Ward is new. 

“There’s no current councillor 

who is standing, so the voters 

need a bit of experience, and I’ve 

had two previous terms on the 

Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board,’ he said. 

Rod S Cameron also lives in 

Cashmere and is running for 

Harewood said he didn’t think 

he naturally fits in anywhere. 

“I spoke to a couple of current 

councillors I know quite well 

and they asked if I would 

consider Harewood,” he said. 

Mike Davidson lives in 

Central and is running 

for Papanui said the ward 

moved from him due to the 

representation review. 

“My decision to stand as 

an Independent candidate in 

Papanui was because of the work 

I have done in this ward as the 

chairman of the community 

board and the over 20 years I 

have spent living locally,” he said.

Motel complex 

planned near 

Northlands 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

TWO EMPTY sections, 200m from 

Northlands Shopping Centre, could 

be turned into motels. 

Victor Chan has applied to the city 

council for resource to consent to 

build a 14-unit motel complex at 134 

and 136 Main North Rd, including a 

manager’s residence. 

The complex would be made up 

of two buildings. The first doublestorey 

building would have the 

manager’s residence and garage, a 

reception and three units, while the 

first floor would have a further four 

units. 

The second building would have 

four units on the ground floor level 

and three on the first floor, with a 

deck. It would have 16 car parks, and 

two cycle parks. 

Previous owners had gained 

resource consent for a similar motel 

development in 2006. However, it 

expired. 

Mr Chan bought the two sites in 

November. A resource management 

act hearings panel will be held on 

September 29 so Commissioner David 

Mountford can decide whether 

to grant the consent. 

One of the sites had previously 

housed a dairy, while the other had 

a residential home on it. Both buildings 

were demolished in 2012.

LIGHTS NEEDED: Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board member Faimeh 

Burke stands in the middle of a pedestrian crossing that could have lights 

installed to make it safer for those who use it. 

Safety upgrade for 

pedestrian crossing 


AN UPGRADE of a 

pedestrian crossing in 

Bishopdale has been 

proposed to make it safer 

for pupils and other users. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi 

Community Board 

asked city council staff to 

investigate the possibility 

of installing lights on a 

pedestrian crossing on 

Sawyers Arms Rd beside 

the Papanui Club. 

Board member Faimeh 

Burke said they were 

aware of safety concerns 

for school pupils around 

that crossing. 

“There are a lot of cars 

and trucks that use that 

road, so it is important we 

make sure those who use 

it are as safe as possible,” 

she said. 

Pupils from Casebrook 

Intermediate, Cotswold 

School and Bishopdale 

School use the crossing. 

Lady Burke said the cost 

is yet to be determined 

and public consultation 

will begin in November 

to find out what the community 

thinks. 

“Consultation will finish 

in November. The design 

will be completed by July 

2017 and the project is expected 

to be completed in 

December 2017,” she said.

cleared of bacteria 


TESTING FOR the 

dangerous legionella 

bacterium will be carried 

out every two weeks after 

an outbreak at Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sports 

Centre. 

The spa pool reopened 

last week after the latest 

testing proved negative for 

the bacterium. 

The Canterbury District 

Health Board confirmed 

the seven water samples 

taken from the spa on 

August 18 were negative 

for legionella bacterium, 

meaning it can reopen to 

the public. 

Legionella bacterium 

can cause legionellosis, including 

a pneumonia-type 

illness called legionnaires’ 

disease and a mild flu-like 

illness called Pontiac 

fever. 

The spa was closed on 

August 12 after initial 

testing revealed one of 

seven water samples tested 

positive for legionella 

bacterium. 

During its closure, staff 

thoroughly decontaminated 

the spa and carried 

out servicing and maintenance 

improvements, 

including the installation 

of new water jets. 

City council head of 

recreation and sports John 

Filsell said the spa was 

popular at Jellie Park so it 

was good to have it back 

in operation. 

“We have worked closely 

with the CDHB and our 

environmental officers to 

develop additional testing 

processes going forward. 

Regular legionella bacterium 

testing will now 

be carried out at all city 

council spa pools and we 

have also implemented 

an additional fortnightly 

super-chlorination process,” 

he said. 

“Both these actions 

are above the required 

industry standards, but 

the safety of our users is 

our primary concern and 

these extra measures will 

help to ensure our water 

quality remains high.”

Rangi choir in good voice 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School’s 

senior choir Resolutions 

received a bronze award at 

the Big Sing national final in 

Dunedin recently. 

Students competed against 

choirs from across the country. 

School director of music 

Janet Kingsbury said it was a 

significant achievement for the 

group of 24 young singers and 

their director, Helen Charlton. 

“At the end of 2015, over half 

the choir left school, so this 

year Resolutions has been very 

much in a rebuilding phase. 

We are delighted to receive a 

bronze award,” she said. 

“There have been many long 

hours of preparation and the 

girls rose to the occasion magnificently 

and performed from 

the heart.” 

Big Sing concludes a busy 

period for the school’s music 

department following success 

for the jazz and chamber 

music groups earlier in the 

month. 

Rangi received both a gold 

and silver medal at the Chamber 

Music Nationals held in 

Auckland. 

Gold award winners 

Graznya’s Girlz were made 

up of Grace McKenzie, Sarah 

Lawrence, Victoria Park and 

PERFORMERS: Rangi Ruru’s senior choir placed third in the Big Sing national final held in 

Dunedin recently. 

Rachel McSweeney and silver 

award winners From Russia 

With Love were made up of 

students Grace McKenzie, Karen 

Hu and Isabella Gregory. 

It was the only school represented 

by two groups. 

At the Southern Jam Youth 

Jazz Festival both the Rangi 

jazz band and jazz combo 

received gold awards with the 

latter runner-up for the best 

combo. 

Bass player Xiling Liu and 

trombone player Rebecca Harris 

were also selected for the 

AllStars band. 

“We are extremely proud of 


the girls’ achievements,” Ms 

Kingsbury said. 

“We are incredibly grateful 

for the support from right 

across our community and to 

the dedicated staff who work 

with and travel with the girls.”

Our People 


Community board leader retires 

When she first put her 

hand up to be part of a 

community board in 1995, 

Val Carter was a 

fresh-faced, concerned 

resident who felt 

intimidated by the whole 

process. Fast-forward 21 

years and she is ending her 

tenure with the Fendalton- 

Waimairi Community Board. 

Andrew King talks to her 

about life as an elected 

official 

Wow, 21 years as an elected 

official – has it flown by? 

It has certainly flown by. It is 

surprising how fast time flies, but 

I have enjoyed every minute of it. 

When you think about it in those 

terms, it seems long but it really 

has been a very enjoyable time 

of my life. It takes a long time 

to work out the processes and 

realise that the whole machinery 

of the city council works slowly. 

Describe the feeling you 

had when you first put your 

nomination in, what was going 

through your head? 

I think I was nervous because I 

didn’t know if I would be elected 

and it is a big thing to stand up 

and say I want to represent you. 

It was new territory for me, as 

I had never done anything like 

that before. It was quite nerveracking 

to be working with very 

experienced elected people. It 

was quite intimidating. 

Who were the incumbents 

that you took on? 

I was part of the Citizens Team 

SERVICE: After 

21 years in local 

body politics, 

Val Carter will 

not be seeking 

re-election.

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

back in those days. We were 

up against another full team. 

I can’t quite remember what 

it was called or who was in it, 

but we won and got in. It was 

a time where the competition 

meant there was more robust 

campaigning, which meant there 

were great options for the community 

to make a choice that 

would benefit them. 

What was the community 

board like in the early days? 

There were four councillors 

and about five members. They 

have not changed a lot. They still 

have the same purpose now as 

they did back then. Giving the 

community a voice. 

Did you have many clashes 

over the years? 

Not really. When you are 

standing as a team, you work as a 

team. Things have changed over 

the years. It has never been cutthroat 

like national politics, it 

has always been polite. The thing 

is once you are elected onto the 

board you work together. Our 

board has always been harmonious. 

When did you became chairwoman? 

I was nominated chairwoman 

in 2007, and have been there for 

the last three terms. 

You must have seen a few 

mayors come and go, what has 

been your impression of them? 

They have all been different. 

Vicki Buck was a wonderful, 

optimistic, people person, and 

so was Garry Moore. He was 

a steady hand and kept things 

moving while looking after the 

ship very well. Bob Parker was 

the best speaker to the public, 

with strong media skills. 

He had a very tough task 

because of the earthquakes, but 

I think he did a fantastic job. 

Lianne Dalziel has steadied the 

ship after the earthquakes quite 

nicely.

after 20 plus years in politics 

She is very good at organising 

people and policy and shows 

genuine concern with everything. 

She is very precise with 

detail. 

Have we had a bad mayor in 

your opinion? 

I can’t say we have had a bad 

mayor, sometimes I don’t agree 

on policies but that is the game. 

What was it like to be an 

elected official during the 

earthquakes? 

It was very difficult for us 

because the elected members 

weren’t part of civil defence and 

felt slightly pushed to one side. 

There was a lot of stress out 

there. Our ward didn’t have the 

same immediate issues as those 

out east and by the coast. We had 

pockets that were badly affected; 

we had a lady break her back 

when she was hit by a falling 

chimney which was horrible. We 

made sure we talked to people in 

our immediate streets to see how 

they were. 

Looking back, would you do 

anything differently? 

Not really, no. I did everything 

that I could do. I think the one 

thing that pleasantly surprised 

me was how much work goes 

on in the community. Especially 

how many volunteers there are 

who keep the wheels turning. We 

do a lot of work supporting those 

volunteers and groups, which is 

just amazing. The community 

board is so valuable as it allows 

residents to have a voice with the 

city council. 

What is your proudest moment 

in the job? 

There are a number of things. 

Some of the art work in Fendalton 

Park – it has made the 

place look good. The skate park 

in Jellie Park. We put a walkway 

around Avonhead Park, which 

I recently walked around and 

there were heaps of people using 

it. Parking issues is one of the 

biggest problems still facing our 

ward and we have worked hard 

to come up with solutions. I was 

proud of getting the post office 

into the Fendalton centre to 

keep that facility going. Also, the 

widening of Fendalton Rd was 

a good moment for us. There is 

plenty to be proud of, but there 

is always more to do. 

How did you deal with the 

criticism that goes along with 

being an elected member? 

It depends on how personal 

people got. All of us can cope 

when debate is about the issue. 

Have you ever had a moment 

where you thought, I don’t 

want to do this anymore? 

If I have had those thoughts, 

they haven’t lasted long. I think 

it is the nature of the job and you 

have other things in your life, so 

you don’t get too down. You have 

to be able to take a step back and 

reassess. 

Your son was on the city 

council – must be a family 

thing? 

Yes, he was on the city council. 

He was elected in the Hagley- 

Ferrymead Ward. After a huge 

natural disaster the job takes its 

toll and I think a few from that 

city council burnt out. But that is 

the job. 

So where to now for you? 

I have a few projects that 

need attention. I haven’t sorted 

out my new house; the garden 

needs sorting. I will catch up 

with some friends and I will find

other interests as time goes on.

the time so I will get into that. 

SCIRT programme on 

the home straight 

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining 

walls is almost complete and we’re aiming to finish construction in December. 

The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing 

repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged infrastructure after SCIRT. 

Progress in your neighbourhood 

• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running 

through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and will be 

completed at the end of the year. 

• Essential wastewater repairs in Aikmans Road in Merivale are progressing well and will 

be completed at the end of the year. 

• Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and 

Bryndwr are due to finish at the end of September. 

• The historic Helmore’s Lane Bridge was reopened to pedestrians and cyclists on 5 

September after major rebuilding. 

Your support is helping us to get the job done. Thank you from the SCIRT team.

SCHOOLS 

St Albans Catholic School year 5 and 6 pupils enjoyed a 

visit from three Canterbury Kings cricket players. They 

led a cricket session and taught the children how to play 

3bats, a modified cricket game. Principal Annette Sjoberg 

said it was a great way to get the pupils excited. “We are 

ready for the summer sporting season,” she said. 


Marshland School pupils took to the slopes last week during their annual Mt Hutt 

skiing trip. Teacher Carolyn Davies said the “great” forecast for the trip got it off to 

a fantastic start. “For some, it was their first time up the mountain. The day went 

smoothly as the organisation from Mt Hutt’s administration and ski instructors was 

outstanding . . . our pupils did not stop smiling and have had, in their own words, the 

best day of the year,” she said.

CHAT WITH MATT 

I’m excited to announce the opening 

of my Belfast office. Having been 

educated at St Bede’s College and 

growing up in North Christchurch, 

I know our area well, particularly 

the suburbs of Redwood, Belfast, 

Northcote, Casebrook, Regent’s 

Park, Styx Mill and Northwood. I 

have decided to open a new office in 

Belfast to offer you more accessible 

representation and to serve you 

better. For me, it’s about keeping 

connected to our community. I look 

forward to meeting you at my new 

office on 731 Main North Rd, which 

opens on Monday 17 October. I’m

it plays in Christchurch’s recovery. 

Christchurch remains the South Island 

gateway for international visitors and 

set an all-time record of 6.3 million 

passengers last year which meant 

more than $180 million in new GDP

with the world through inbound 

tourism and exporting our local 

produce is vital to our success. 

A catch-up with Northcote School 

recently was very informative. Over 

the year, I have met with principals 

throughout the electorate and I 

value these visits. Our electorate 

can celebrate increased student 

achievement levels, with latest 

statistics showing more of our 18

achieved without the dedication of

Burnside hooker picked 

for national schools’ team 

SPORTS 

• By Gordon Findlater 

PERRY KARATI has been 

named in the New Zealand 

Schools’ rugby squad after 

a stand-out season with the 

Burnside High School first XV. 

The hooker was all nerves last 

Monday, hoping for the phone to 

ring and hear that he had been 

named in the squad. 

He knew that those selected in 

the team would be given a call at 

some stage on Monday. 

However, it wasn’t until the 

evening that Karati’s phone rung 

to deliver the good news. 

“It was a long day, (but) when 

I found out I was stoked. I had 

finally made it – one more step towards 

the next goal,” said Karati. 

Karati will now take part in a 

three-day training camp at the 

end of the month in Auckland. 

He is also hopeful of gaining 

a rugby scholarship at Lincoln 

University through the Crusaders 

academy as he looks to push his 

case for provincial and Super 

Rugby in the future. 

The year 13 student is now in 

his fourth year with the Burnside 

first XV and has been one of the 

school’s longest serving players, 

bringing up his 50th cap earlier 

this year. 

Karati’s time at Burnside has 

come with plenty of ups and 

downs. When he first played for

part in a three-day camp with the New Zealand Schools squad in 

Auckland later this month. 

the first XV as a year 10 student, 

they were considered one of the 

easy beats in the UC Championship. 

That has certainly changed in 

recent years. Burnside won the 

championship plate 12 months 

ago and last month advanced to 

the national top four co-ed tournament 

after winning the South 

Island co-ed title by defeating 

South Otago High School 20-14. 

The three-day camp begins on 

September 24. 

The New Zealand Schools’ 

team will play against Australia 

Schools and Fiji Schools in early 

October. 

SOUTH ISLAND CHAMPS: Christchurch Boys’ High School 

have been crowned South Island basketball champions 

after defeating Otago Boys’ High School 92-57 in the grandfinal. 

The South Island schools tournament took place over 

four days at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre. CBHS faced 

some familiar opposition on their way to the title, defeating 

Cashmere High School 94-75 in the semi-final. Jack Lang 

proved the difference hitting eight three pointers in the 

semi-final victory. The tournament win means that CBHS 

have booked a spot in the national tournament, which will be 

played in Palmerston North at the end of the month. They will 

be joined by Cashmere and Christ’s College. Meanwhile, the 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, Middleton Grange and Rangiora High 

School girls’ teams have also qualified for nationals.

Second XI bring home 

national hockey title 

WINNERS: Rangi Ruru students Annabelle Jones (left), Luca 

Swale, Mikayla Smith and Olivia Goodwillie won the Jane 

Sullivan Trophy. 

Rangi Ruru wins 

Jane Sullivan Trophy 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

has won an equestrian trophy 

named after a former student. 

The school’s gold team 

battled wet and windy conditions 

recently to beat 22 other 

Canterbury teams and win the 

Jane Sullivan Trophy. 

The event was held in the 

National Equestrian Centre at 

McLeans Island. 

Rangi Ruru’s blue team 

placed a close forth. 

The school’s director of 

equestrian Pippa Young said 

it was the first time Rangi 

Ruru had won the trophy since 

2004. 

“Jane Sullivan is a former 

Rangi Ruru student, so to 

receive the trophy named after 

her from her was very significant 

to us all,” she said. 

“The girls performed brilliantly, 

riding almost without 

any faults in show jumping or 

cross-country. 

“That’s quite exceptional 

when you consider that all of 

the riders are in their first few 

years of secondary education, 

mostly years 9 and 10.” 

“These girls are going from 

strength to strength, which is 

testament to their dedication 

and skill, as well as the excellent 

equestrian programme we 

run here at Rangi Ruru.” 

RANGI RURU’S second XI 

hockey team has won the Chris 

Arthur Cup in Hamilton. 

They beat local rival St Margaret’s 

College 4-0 in the national 

hockey tournament. 

Assistant coach Amy McKerchar 

said the team’s sense of self 

belief was key to their success. 

“The girls were determined they 

could improve on their placing 

from last year. And improve they 

certainly did,” she said. 

“They are a true team of champions 

and an absolute pleasure to 

work with.” 

The first pool game against 

Westlake Girls High School 

showed the girls were wellprepared, 

securing a 6-1 win. 

The second game against Queen 

Margaret College did much to 

strengthen the resolve of the 

group as they roared home with a 

massive 19-0 win. 

The team’s only loss of the tournament 

was against another local 

team, Christchurch Girls’ High 

School, going down 2-0. 

Having secured top spot in 

their pool, the quarter-final 

match-up against St Cuthbert’s 

College was a tightly contested 

game, which resulted in a 1-0 

win to progress Rangi Ruru to 

the semi-final against defending 

champion’s Whangarei Girls’ 

CHAMPIONS: Rangi Ruru’s second XI hockey team won the Chris 

Arthur Cup, beating St Margaret’s College 4-0. 

High School. 

Playing in a similar fashion, 

the girls held onto their 1-0 lead 

to book themselves a spot in the 

final. 

Rangi Ruru’s most valuable 

player for the tournament was 

goalkeeper Alys Mathew who had 

a solid tournament conceding 

only three goals. 

They also had the two top goal 

scorers of the tournament – Jemima 

Bell who netted 11 and Haley 

Stephens who scored eight. 

In other winter tournament 

results, the Rangi Ruru senior basketball 

team finished second at the 

South Island secondary schools’ 

competition in Christchurch, losing 

in the final to Waimea College 

63-47. 

This secured them a spot in the 

national secondary schools’ competition 

to be held in Palmerston 

North from September 26 to 

October 1.

• By Scott Bamford 

ICELANDIC HORSES, said to 

have been brought to Iceland by 

the Vikings, are increasing in 

number around Canterbury. 

Inga Currey, owner and operator 

of Christchurch Icelandic 

Horse Treks, is using them in her 

business. There are other owners, 

and breeders, of icelandic horses 

around Christchurch, Rangiora, 

Oxford, Waikuku, Ashburton, 

Oamaru and Twizel. 

“The first sort of bigger breeder 

was in Oamaru, the stud was 

called Vindholar Southern Icelandics, 

they were the pioneers 

here. There is a breeder in Ashburton,” 

she said. 

She said three of her clients in 

Christchurch had bought icelandic 

horses, and two of them have 

bred their first foal. 

“For the last two years we have 

TREKKING. A group rides on Spencer Park Beach with Christchurch Icelandic Horse Treks. 

PHOTOS: CHRISTCHURCH ICELANDIC HORSE TREKS 

even had some horses in the 

Christchurch AMP show,” she 

said. 

Mrs Currey, originally from 

just south of Frankfurt, Germany, 

has lived in New Zealand 

since moving here with her Kiwi 

husband in 2000. She has ridden 

icelandic horses since she was 18. 

“They were brought into Iceland 

by the Vikings, over 1000 

years ago. They have been purebred 

there since then. No icelandic 

horse that leaves Iceland can 

ever go back and no other horses 

can be imported either,” she said. 

Her trekking business stems 

from her passion for the breed 

and being conveniently located 

near Spencer Park Beach. 

“I collected horses for the family, 

who then weren’t interested 

… I had the horses and I had 

the location. You couldn’t ride 

icelandic horses anywhere here 

yet, that’s why I had the idea.” 

Mrs Currey said one of her favourite 

traits of icelandic horses 

was “definitely the tölt.” 

“When people experience the 

tölt for the first time, their expressions 

and the things they say 

are lovely to see,” she said. 

The tölt is a unique gait allowing 

the horse to move in a 

similar fashion to walking, but at 

a running speed. This makes for 

a very smooth ride. 

Jennie Boerema, president 

of the Icelandic Horses New 

Zealand association, explained 

riding with a full glass of beer 

has been used to demonstrate 

how smooth the tölt can be. 

“[During] the beer tölt, we 

have a glass of beer in hand and 

we use a wooden plank to ride 

over so you can hear the hoof 

beats. You can just sit still and 

drink your beer while riding. We 

thought that was very conveni-

Currey’s trekking horses,

ent, especially in New Zealand 

where you love your beer,” she 

said. 

Mrs Boerema said icelandic 

horses were well suited to the 

terrain of the south. 

“If you look at the terrain, 

especially of the south, it is very 

easy for the icelandic horse to fit 

in. It’s similar to Iceland,” she 

said.

HYDRATE TO ELEVATE 

We all know drinking water is important, but the 

majority of us simply don’t drink enough even 

though we know it makes us feel 

great when we do. We look at the benefits and 

motivate you to drink more with a few tips on 

how to make it just a little more palatable. 

With over a quarter of Kiwis 

consuming less than two 

glasses of water a day 

and only 5% drinking 

more than the recommended eight, the 

message obviously hasn’t hit home on the 

importance of hydrating our body. 

A recent survey conducted by 

SodaStream found that Cantabrians are 

particularly guilty when it comes to their 

water intake. 

With 82% drinking less than six 

glasses of water a day, but with over 85% 

admitting they feel healthier when they 

drink more water, something needs to 

be done to bridge the gap in terms of 

what we know to be true and what we’re 

actually doing about it. 

This same survey revealed that 

although 41% of us limit how many soft 

drinks we consume due to our concerns 

over sugar content, the same number 

of people said tea or coffee is this their 

number one drink of choice. 

Some people even believe that the water 

consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes 

part of their water intake. This is a fallacy. 

As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as 

does alcohol too, it means we need to 

drink even more water to compensate. 

Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t 

drink nearly enough water is that we 

simply forget. Now with apps you can 

download direct to your smart phone, 

there are no more excuses. 

Further studies proved that people 

who had a SodaStream machine in their 

homes were more likely to drink more 

water. 

In fact, the study showed that people 

drank 30% more water. 

For those of us who aren’t used 

to drinking water like it’s going 

out of fashion, there are plenty of ways 

to increase the fun factor while still 

being healthy.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical sense in sydenham sees clients with a range 

of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and senior clients 

visit complaining of pain in one of their joints. 

PhysiotheraPist ietje van 

stolk suggests that a major part of the 

pain could be due to muscle pain rather 

than simply arthritis. “even if an x-ray 

shows arthritis, the reason for the pain 

may be the muscles around the joint,” 

she explains. The images show how 

a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back 

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain 

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot 

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder 

blade can give a deep pain in the front 

of the shoulder and a muscle knot all the 

way near the groin can give an ache in 

the knee (especially at night in bed). 

ietje recalls one case where an 89 

year old client with severe arthritis who 

walked with a stick, told her, “i will 

end up in a wheelchair, i cannot put 

any weight through my right leg due to 

pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within 

4 treatments, she was walking with 

her stick but without the severe pain,” 

says ietje. “The arthritis was one of the 

factors that made her muscles spasm but 

the other was that older people move 

less and the flexed position the hip is 

in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could 

have been “given up on” or told to live 

with the pain, she made a difference to 

her health and wellbeing. 

The same lack of movement can 

be the reason for your knee pain or 

your shoulder pain and the same few 

treatments could make a huge difference 

for you. 

at Physical sense, hands-on 

techniques (massage and triggerpoint 

deactivation techniques) are used 

to release the muscles. The client 

also gets a home exercise program 

designed to mobilize and stretch the 

joint, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength 

and balance. They teach a movement 

sequence that stretches the joint in all 

directions whilst the client is able to lie 

safely on their bed, perfect for older or

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

less mobile clients. 

in many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to 

maintain it, is enough to stay on top of 

the problem. if severe arthritis is the 

underlying cause, some maintenance 

therapy may be necessary, but that is 

often more affordable and, for older 

patients, better tolerated than surgery. in 

very few treatments the client will know 

if it is going to work for them or not, 

without financial commitment. 

Physical sense Gym & Physio 

is located at 300 Colombo street, 

sydenham. The Blue line Bus stops in 

front of the door and there is ample 

parking. to enquire about specialised 

exercise classes or physiotherapy 

treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit 

www.triggerpoints.co.nz. 

Chronic pain in one 

of your joints? 

Even if your joint is not in the best 

shape, a major part of the pain could 

be caused by the muscles surrounding 

the joint. 

At Physical Sense we have good results 

with releasing the muscles (with hands 

on techniques) and increasing your 

strength and flexibility. Within a few 

treatments you will know if this is 

what you need.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

The BMW experts 

BMWs and BMW minis are some of the most recognisable and 

best selling cars around. Known for their European engineering 

as well as their stylish appearance, it’s important to go to the 

experts when looking for parts and servicing. 

Conveniently located on McAlpine St in 

Sockburn, Eurocare and Eurorec Ltd offers 

a wide range of servicing and repairs options 

and because they are also specialist BMW 

dismantlers, they also have a huge range of parts 

available to trade and individual buyers. And if 

they don’t have it in stock in their own large 

inventory, they can source new or used parts at 

your request from around New Zealand. 

Whether your beloved car needs a full 

replacement engine or body panels, or it just 

needs window clips, the knowledgeable teams 

at Eruocare and Eurorec can supply or track 

down the correct part for your model and 

year. When dismantling a vehicle, they make 

sure they rescue and restore as many parts as 

possible for reuse on other vehicles. 

To keep your BMW running smoothly and 

safely, they will also repair and service it. If a 

vehicle has failed its WOF, needs a service or 

requires running repairs, the 

team of specialist mechanics 

will work quickly and efficiently 

to have your car back on the road as soon 

as possible. This includes everything from 

oil changes, new filters and brake pads to 

gear box, suspension, clutches and exhaust 

systems. Their team is highly trained and, as 

they are BMW specialists, they have all the 

knowledge and skills necessary to provide a 

high quality standard of workmanship. Their 

workshop includes diagnostic machines so 

they can easily find the source of any problems. 

Open five days a week and on Saturdays by 

appointment, Eurocare and Eurorec Ltd’s teams 

are on hand to help with all your BMW parts, 

servicing, repairs and dismantling needs. Call 

today on (03) 341 6678, email eurorec@clear.
