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.

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.

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
• By Andrew King
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.

NO MORE: Legionella bacterium under a microscope.
Spa pool reopened;
cleared of bacteria
• By Andrew King
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.”

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

Dunedin recently.
Rachel McSweeney and silver
award winners From Russia
With Love were made up of
students Grace McKenzie, Karen

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
NOR’WEST NEWS
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,

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

A catch-up with Northcote School

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

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.

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.

En route: Icelandic horses in Canty

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.

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-

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.

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

HIP PAIN
(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.

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.

in Sockburn.
