Your local leaders 

Sisters have 

big plans 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding, 

Andrew King 

SISTERS CATHERINE Chu and 

Linda Chen have made their entrance 

into local body politics at the same 

time but on different community 

boards. 

At 20-years-old Miss Chu is the 

youngest community board member 

in the city, representing Riccarton, 

while sister Ms Chen, 27, was elected 

to represent Harewood. 

Ms Chen received 3391 votes to 

take her place on the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board. 

Aaron Campbell will take the spot 

after receiving 2602 votes. 

Miss Chu, a Westpac business bank 

manager, received 2074 votes getting 

the nod alongside long-time local 

body politician Helen Broughton 

receiving 2457 to take the two spots 

on the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board. 

Ms Chen moved to New Zealand 

with her parents from South Korea 

when she was five-years-old while 

Miss Chu was born in Christchurch. 

Both sisters said they were “very excited” 

to be on the community board. 

Said Ms Chen: “I am very excited 

my sister is on a community board as 

well as she is so young.” 

She said her priority is to get traffic 

lights for the Breens, Gardiners and 

Harewood Rds intersection. 

“I am hoping, being the youngest 

on the Harewood board, to utilise that 

youth and energy and be that approachable 

person that really makes a 

difference,” she said. 

At the top of Miss Chu’s list is to 

bring ethnic groups together, and deal 

with traffic congestion and parking 

issues. 

Having a strong interest in foreign 

language and culture, Miss Chu has 

been studying Chinese and Japanese 

part time at Canterbury University on 

top of her job. 

“From a really young age I had 

enjoyed listening to other people and 

I was really excited when I knew I 

could be able to help people make 

their lives better,” Miss Chu said.

Mr Keown heads back to the city 

council table for the Harewood 

ward. Former Shirley-Papanui

There are some new faces on 

the community boards, though, 

including John Stringer for

MATT DOOCEY 

MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI 

CHAT WITH MATT 

Waimakariri electorate is a dynamic 

place to represent. Looking back over 

the past two years on the second 

anniversary of being elected as local 

MP, I can say that the electorate’s 

rapid growth, mix of peri-urban and 

rural areas, and vibrant regeneration 

post-earthquake presented a unique 

set of circumstances which shaped my 

response as MP. 

Based on my experience during my 

first year, I learnt it is important for an 

MP to keep connected to a range of 

communities across the electorate at 

ground level, picking up on issues that 

are relevant to constituents. 

And I’m not afraid to try new ways 

to keep connected. My mid-winter 

evening meetings allowed me to 

meet people on their patch at a time 

that suits them. I also enjoy creating 

opportunities to meet with different 

demographic groups, including 

business, superannuates and youth. 

Funded by Parliamentary Service and authorised by 

Matt Doocey MP, 130A Percival St, Rangiora. 

By the end of this year, I would have 

invited over 12,000 superannuates to 

meet with me at my over 65s coffee 

mornings. 

The opening of my Belfast office 

on 17 October will help me be more 

accessible to my constituents in 

Northern Christchurch. I will retain 

my offices in Kaiapoi and Rangiora, 

as well as my constituent community 

caravan in Woodend and Rangiora. I 

look forward to meeting with you in 

my new office. 

I enjoyed collecting for Arthritis New 

Zealand recently in Northwood and 

catching up in passing with familiar 

faces from my community constituent 

caravan, my coffee mornings in 

Belfast, my youth roadshows in 

Northern Christchurch and my 

business meetings in the area. If 

you have a worthy cause you are 

fundraising for, remember I am here 

to help.

Keown back on the council benches 

• By Andrew King 

AFTER THREE years on the 

council table sideline, Aaron 

Keown is back. 

Mr Keown was elected onto 

the Sir Bob Parker council in 

2010 before losing in the 2013 

election. 

But on Saturday, he was returned 

as Harewood Ward councillor 

with 2934 votes, ahead 

of Faimeh Burke (1651), Brian 

Garguilo (1008), Rod S Cameron 

(466) and Rod D Cameron (241). 

He has also been re-elected to 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board. 

Mr Keown said one of his 

priorities would be to try and 

reconnect the city council with 

the Minister supporting Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration, 

Gerry Brownlee. 

“I will be more vocal with the 

Government and the first thing 

I will ask minister Brownlee is if 

we can get regular meetings with 

the city councillors and community 

board members,” he said. 

Mr Keown said when he was 

a city councillor between 2010- 

2013, there were regular meetings 

with Mr Brownlee and the 

city council. 

That had not happened in the 

council’s last term, he said. 

He also wants Christchurch to 

be a focal point for movie making 

to help bring more innovative 

jobs to the city. 

Roads, rates, waterway protection 

would also be a priority. 

Innes Ward’s Pauline Cotter 

was re-elected onto the council 

table with 3814 votes, ahead of 

her only rival, Mel Rodricks 

(755). 

Cr Cotter said this term is 

about reaping the rewards of the 

hard work they did last term. 

The Papanui Ward will be represented 

by new councillor Mike 

Davidson, who received 3305 

votes from former Conservative 

Party chairman John Stringer 

(2356). 

He said it was great to make 

the step up from his role as 

chairman of the now defunct 

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board. 

He is the son of Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel’s husband Rob Davidson. 

Mr Davidson’s priorities will 

be centred around improving 

traffic conditions in the north of 

the city as well as keeping rates 

low. 

Raf Manji (4073) will have 

another three years at the table 

winning by 2320 votes over 

Anthony Rimell (1753) in the 

Waimairi Ward. 

“It is a new day for this council, 

we don’t have as many problems 

as we did three years ago so it 

is about moving forward,” Cr 

Manji said.

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board becomes the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

has four new faces joining two 

returning from last term. 

Bridget Williams (4838) and 

David Cartwright (3935) were 

re-elected in the Fendalton 

Ward and will be joined by city 

councillor Jamie Gough who was 

elected unopposed. 

Sam MacDonald (3398) and 

Shirish Paranjape (2840) will 

represent the Waimairi Ward. 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board has one 

new-comer, Mr Stringer (2553) 

getting the nod in the Papanui 

Ward. 

He will join former city councillor 

Ali Jones and Jo Byrne,

who were on the Shirley-Papanui

GARDENING IS about patience 

and dedication, something 

Northwood resident Peter 

Lawrence has in spades. 

He won the Andrews Cup 

open class award in the Christchurch 

Beautifying Association 

Spring Garden Competition. 

Mr Lawrence has been entering 

his gardens in competitions 

since 1973 and said he normally 

enjoys a “good success rate.” 

“It is nice to be recognised 

for the hard work that goes into 

preparing a garden good enough 

to enter,” he said. 

His work does not just stay in 

the confines of his own yard – he 

gets about the neighbourhood 

taking care of other residents’ 

lawns, planting roadside flowers, 

and even convincing the city 

council last year to plant some 

trees on the street. 

“It is about giving back to 

where you live,” he said. 

There is no money exchanged 

for his services, but he has scored 

the odd cup of tea here and there. 

Unfortunately, Mr Lawrence

Garden City’s finest 

has had to downsize his garden, 

as he is building a new house on 

his property, which means he 

won’t be able to compete in the 

Andrews Cup next year. 

Runners-up Janet and Brian 

Lovelock said it will be a shame 

to not have their old rival, Mr 

Lawrence, competing with them. 

“He beat us by one point this 

year,” she said. 

“We have enjoyed a friendly

Village wins gold 

MERIVALE Retirement Village 

has won gold in the Canterbury 

Horticultural Society Spring 

Garden Awards thanks to one 

man’s dedication to making the 

grounds his own. 

Entries for the awards closed 

on September 28 and judging 

finished on October 2. 

Village gardener Joseph 

Austin has “pulled out all the 

stops” to get the gardens ready 

for the competition but, awards 

or not, he would have still 

had them in “gold condition” 

according to the regional 

manager for Merivale, Terrace 

View and Willowlea retirement 

villages Jon Amesbury RN. 

“He has done an amazing job 

and we are thrilled that he has 

been recognised,” he said. 

“It is so vital the grounds look 

good for the health and wellbeing 

of the residents.” 

Mr Austin is in his fourth year 

at the village and said the award 

made him feel like all his hard 

work had paid off. 

“I have always been interested 

in gardening, seeing all the 

colours and watching those in 

the village enjoy the flowers,” he 

said. 

Mr Amesbury said they were 

lucky to have such a dedicated

Fighting cancer with fitness 

WHEN MAIREHAU resident 

Isobel Stout was diagnosed 

with breast cancer, fighting the 

disease and getting through the 

gruelling treatment regime was 

her main focus. 

Six months of chemotherapy, 

a double mastectomy and five 

weeks of radiation left her 

“absolutely shattered” and 

she was not prepared for the 

challenging transition back to 

everyday life. 

It was not until Ms Stout, 50, 

discovered a new exercise class 

for recovering breast cancer 

patients at St George’s Cancer 

Care Centre that she began to 

get her life back. Recently, she 

completed a charity bike ride 

up Coronet Peak, raising $4000 

for the Pinc & Steel Cancer 

Rehabilitation Trust. 

She is a senior environmental 

health officer at the city council 

and was one of the first patients 

to sign up to the initiative 

in which pilates, yoga and 

cardiovascular exercises are 

delivered by trained oncology 

physiotherapists. 

For Ms Stout, the main 

benefits of St George’s exercise 

classes were restoring confidence 

and getting her physical strength 

back after treatment. 

“I had no trust in myself 

ON HER FEET: Isobel Stout (left) discovered a new exercise 

class for recovering breast cancer patients and has been 

working with St George’s Cancer Care Centre oncology 

physiotherapist Julee Binns. 

anymore and didn’t know what 

I should or could do physically,” 

she said. 

“I had been pretty active 

before my diagnosis but it 

somehow didn’t feel right to be 

going back into that routine after 

what my body had been through 

during treatment and surgery. 

Forty-five other Christchurch 

women have since completed the 

10-week programme, which is 

offered free of charge to eligible 

patients due to funding from 

the New Zealand Breast Cancer 

Foundation and the Pinc & Steel 

Cancer Rehabilitation Trust. 

It is the only programme of 

its kind in Christchurch, and 

plans are in place to introduce 

a similar initiative for men 

recovering from prostate cancer. 

Oncology physiotherapist 

Julee Binns said there is a real 

need for cancer patients to have 

access to specialised exercise 

programmes post-treatment. 

“The side effects of cancer 

treatment, for example scarring 

and lymphedema, limit the 

ability to exercise and can have 

a big impact on quality of life,” 

she said. 

Practice manager Viv Ali said 

the clinic’s long-term vision is 

to develop a wider programme 

for patients that incorporates 

exercise, yoga and mindfulness. 

Exercise has been shown to 

improve outcomes for cancer 

patients both during and after 

treatment. Some benefits include 

decreased fatigue, an increased 

sense of well-being, improved 

functional ability and reduced 

risk of osteoporosis following 

chemotherapy. 

International studies of 

women diagnosed with breast 

cancer indicate a 50 to 53 per 

cent increased chance of survival 

if regular, moderate intensity 

exercise is undertaken.

Merivale 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

ZANZIBAR IS coming back to 

Merivale. 

Bardello, which sits between 

Aikmans Bar and Eatery and JDV 

Cafe, Restaurant and Bar is being 

turned into a pizza and pasta 

restaurant and will be re-named 

Zanzibar. 

It was the name of Aikmans Bar 

and Eatery about 10 years ago, 

when it was owned by Bob Kyle 

and before it was reverted back to 

its original name. 

Renovations to the restaurant 

are currently being done. It is 

hoped it will be opened in about 

two weeks. 

Peter Edmonds, who owns 

the neighbouring JDV Cafe, 

Restaurant and Bar, bought both 

Aikmans and Bardello this year 

with Frank van Schaijik. 

Fendalton city councillor Jamie 

Gough said the name change was 

a blast from the past and brilliant 

news. 

He said Aikmans was named 

Zanzibar for a “long time.” 

“I always still incorrectly called 

it Zanzibar, long after it had 

changed,” he said. 

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 is 

scheduled to be completed by 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. 

• Repairs to the waste water networks in Papanui and Bryndwr will be finished 

by December. 

• St Albans’ work is progressing well, and will be finished by the end of December. 

Your support is helping us to get the job done. 

Thank you from the SCIRT team.

Rangi students forge relationships 

with island businesswomen 

RANGI RURU students 

have been bolstering their 

relationships with women in 

business in Samoa, spending two 

weeks immersed in the culture. 

The school has had a long 

time relationship with women in 

business in Samoa and students 

stayed in villages and visited 

workplaces in the Samoan Islands. 

Students were billeted in pairs 

with families in the village of 

Patamea, a small, rural village on 

the island of Savaii. 

Upon arriving in Apia, they 

met with Women in Business 

Development Organisation 

representatives and heard more 

about their business initiatives in 

the country. 

They worked alongside local 

people via their relationship with 

WIBDO which involved visiting 

a factory where coconut oil is 

processed for the Body Shop. 

They also saw how the mulberry 

tree is transformed into 

tapa cloth, a traditional form 

of Samoan clothing used for 

important ceremonial occasions 

and spending a day at the local 

primary school. 

Head of English Erin Fitzpatrick 

travelled with the 10-strong 

group and said it’s a great opportunity 

for the students to see up

of new businesses making a real 

difference to the quality of life 

and the independence of villagers 

here,” she said. 

“This is affecting the lives of 

women and girls for the better, 

which is an important thing for 

our students to see and be a part 

of.” 

“The conditions were basic, 

the families were very warm and 

welcoming, and there have been 

many laughs and lots of fun,” Ms 

Fitzpatrick said. 

GREAT SUCCESS: Lions clubs from around the 

city collaborated to raise $50,000 for Age Concern 

Canterbury’s new mini-van. 

SOS answered 

RICCARTON-Waimairi 

Lions were one of seven clubs 

around the city to respond 

to an “SOS” call from Age 

Concern Canterbury. 

The clubs pulled together 

$50,000 over a period of six 

months, enough to buy Age 

Concern a new 12-seater minivan. 

Keys to the mini-van were 

handed over to Age Concern 

representatives recently. 

Riccarton-Waimairi, 

Christchurch-Pegasus, Lyttelton, 

Ferrymead, Christchurch 

South, Christchurch-Seaview, 

and New Brighton clubs all 

pitched in an average of about 

$3000 each for the new van. 

New Brighton Lions Club 

member Warren Glassey said 

Age Concern Canterbury 

needed the van to provide 

transport for elderly locals 


who had become “housebound” 

following the earthquakes. 

“Age Concern said there was 

a significant number of elderly 

people that were badly affected 

post-earthquakes that have 

now become housebound . . . 

we know it will be used for the 

next 15 years, five days a week 

at least,” he said. 

Within six months, the 

clubs raised the $50,000 

needed to purchase a new 

Ford Transit 12-seater 

mini-van. This included a 

$20,000 donation from an 

international Lions charitable 

trust. 

The last $10,000 came in the 

form of sponsorship from Colliers 

International; Chatswood 

Retirement Village, Opawa; 

and Willowlea Retirement Village, 

Shirley.

NOR’WEST NEWS Tuesday October 11 2016 11 

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to 

an article on whether 

motorists should be 

charged for parking at 

Jellie Park Recreation and 

Sports Centre or be given 

free things if they cycle 

or take the bus, in a bid to 

reduce parking issues at 

the facility. 

Gary Knight, of Hoon Hay 

– While the issue of car parking 

fees at Jellie Park evolves as a 

platform of debate, reality must 

prevail. 

The innovation by the 

Fendalton-Waimari Community 

Board to offer free food, towels 

and discount cards for those 

choosing to cycle to this venue, 

while commendable, is rife with 

anomalies. 

It would be virtually impossible 

to police those who cycled also 

any arriving there and producing 

a helmet merely to capitalise on 

the discount offer. 

Cycling or utilising public 

transport will always be ongoing 

by those motivated to choose 

this option of travel, devoid of 

the necessity for discounts for 

this realistic decision. 

If 114 car parks is deemed 

insufficient to cater for 238,024 

personnel between the summer 

months of December 2015 and 

March 2016, then the reality is to 

add more. However, charging a 

fee for them is a retrograde step 

and contravenes the very nature 

of a public amenity. 

The criteria of the 2015-2025 

Long Term City Council Plan to 

operate grants as a contributory 

factor towards community 

building is surely the catalyst 

for required funding of this 

community upgrade of extended 

car parking within projected 

council budgeting. 

Glynis Condon, Burnside 

– I am 74 years of age and go to 

Jellie Park five days a week for 

aqua exercise classes and I don’t 

think we should have to pay for 

parking at the pool. 

There are all ages and abilities 

that go to the park be it for the 

gym or the pool and I can’t 

imagine that most of them 

would want to bike to their 

classes. 

A lot of the people who attend 

the classes I go to are retired and 

travel many kilometres to attend 

the classes, or do not live on a 

bus route that would take them 

to Jellie Park. 

Some of the people who 

attend classes at Jellie Park are 

recovering from hip or knee 

replacements and I don’t think 

their surgeons would be pleased 

to know that they are riding a 

bike after all their expertise in 

fixing their limbs. 

The income of the cafe there 

would suffer also as most of us 

have coffee after the classes and 

if we had to pay for parking I am 

sure we would be going some 

where else for coffee. 

As it is election time again I 

think they should be directing 

community awareness in a better 

direction. 

I am sure they would not like 

to see their parents/grandparents 

biking to an exercise class to 

keep themselves fit and out of 

the health system. 

FLAME FILES 

Cover a burning 

pot with its lid 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk 

Management Officer 

AN INCIDENT in Spreydon 

last Friday had many aspects of 

slapstick comedy, sadly without 

any of the humour. 

A young lady had oil heating 

on the stove which ignited while 

she wasn’t in the room. 

Like nearly anyone else in the 

same situation she tried to put 

the fire out. 

In this instance she used a 

towel. Now I’m not sure if she 

moistened the cloth first because 

the towel also ignited. 

So she then threw it out the 

door. Burning oil ignited the wall 

linings. Which resulted in the 

range hood being destroyed. 

Addington’s crew extinguished 

the fire and the poor occupant 

was taken to hospital apparently 

in shock. What went wrong? 

Like in so many even more 

serious incidents not a lot. The 

first thing is to stay in the kitchen 

while any combustible is being 

heated. 

The second is to completely 

cover the burning pot, preferably 

with something that won’t burn, 

TRICKY: It’s duckling season 

again and firefighters are 

expecting to rescue more of 

them from drains. 

like a lid or oven tray. That’s really 

all. 

There’s not a huge difference 

between a fire that’s a nuisance 

and one that’s a tragedy. That’s 

why fire is so damned dangerous. 

It’s pet and animal time. Three 

cats, including a wild one, with 

not one caught up a tree, were 

rescued by intrepid fire crews 

around the city this week. 

And of course it’s duckling 

season again which meant one 

careless ducking pulled from a 

hole in Goodman St, Burwood, 

last Monday evening. Almost 

certainly won’t be the last.

Global children’s music 

star to perform 

INTERNATIONAL best-selling 

children’s musician and author 

Dean O’Brien (above) will 

perform at Merivale Paper Plus on 

October 29 at 3pm. 

Mr “Deano Yipadee” will be 

promoting the release of Jingle 

Bells, Rudolf Smells, his new book. 

It is taken from a song off his 

Christmas album that went to 

No 1 on the iTunes best sellers 

chart last December in the United 

Kingdom. 

The story follows Santa and 

his smelly-bottomed reindeer, 

Rudolph, on an adventure that 

finds Christmas being saved by 

Rudolph’s bionic trump. 

“I’m thrilled to be coming 

home. It’s the perfect time as my 

daughters both are Kiwis that 

have never been to New 

Zealand or had a hot Christmas,” 

he said. 

Mr O’Brien was born in 

Mosgiel, Otago, but has been 

living in the UK for 15 years. 

He has another two books being 

released in 2017 – Neenaw the Fire 

Engine and Stink-O-Saurus. 

In 2013, his debut album, Yes, I 

Can! Club, hit the top spot in the 

UK Children’s Charts and was 

followed by an invite to perform 

at the world-famous Glastonbury 

music festival alongside The 

Rolling Stones, magician Dynamo 

and others. 

In addition to several 

subsequent chart-topping albums, 

he also created an album full of 

UK TV stars for charity. 

CONCERNS OVER pollution 

and other contaminants getting 

into rivers is why grass will be 

left to grow longer around river 

banks. 

The city council, with the 

West Melton Zone Committee, 

Environment Canterbury, 

and Fish and Game assessed 

the need to mow the banks in 

light of the concerns about the 

impact that may be having on 

the ecology of the rivers. 

The agencies are concerned 

that closely shaving the grass 

on the riverbanks could be 

increasing the risk of erosion, 

damaging the riparian habitat, 

and reducing an opportunity to 

filter contaminants from runoff 

into the rivers. 

Normally the grassed banks 

of the city’s waterways are kept 

closely mown. 

City council land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said 

the city council had assessed 

the need to mow the banks 

due to concerns raised and had 

decided to stop grass cutting 

between the waterway and the 

top of the banks in the middle 

TRIAL: Some of 

Christchurch’s 

grassy riverbanks 

will be left uncut 

on a trial basis for 

environmental 

reasons. 

Long grass will 

help river health 

and lower reaches of the Avon 

and Styx Rivers. 

It had also decided to stop grass 

cutting between the waterway 

and the top of the banks within 

trial areas of the Heathcote River 

and Steamwharf Stream. 

“Our plan is to monitor the 

impact and use what we learn to 

make a decision about whether 

we permanently cease mowing 

the banks. This is not about 

saving money; it is about doing 

what is best for the ecology of 

our waterways,’’ Mr Davison 

said.

Bowie tribute picked up 

Fashion 

 

• By Annabelle Dick 

A NUMBER of Burnside 

High School and St Margaret’s 

College students will 

feature in an international 

documentary after their David 

Bowie tribute song got picked 

up by an Italian filmmaker. 

The song, Starman in 

the Stars, was written and 

performed by Mandi Miller, 

Gardening 

Mark Wilson, their band All 

the Queen’s Horses and a 

choir of school pupils. 

An Italian film project, Ritratti, 

will use the music video 

in a collective multi-media 

film called BowieNext. 

Ms Miller, of Woolston, is 

overjoyed with the news, saying 

she had hoped the track 

Motoring 

would get snapped up and 

used. 

“I have been promoting it 

and been trying to find people 

that are making David Bowie 

documentaries, so this is really 

exciting,” she said. 

Cashmere High School students 

Kirsty Tobbell, Emily 

Tasty Bites 

Tobbell and Elizabeth Whittington, 

and Somerfield 

School pupil Connor Tobbell 

were a part of the chorus 

choir. 

Pupils from Sumner, 

Redcliffs and Heathcote Valley 

schools and Villa Maria 

College also helped record 

the track at Orange Studios in 

Ferrymead. 

It was made as a tribute to 

the late David Bowie who died 

in January this year. 

“They all learnt the chorus 

and held down the main 

melody and I improvised over 

top of them. Their voices really 

stand out,” Ms Miller said. 

“The added element of the 

children in the video was really 

significant to me because 

Bowie was still making music 

up until he passed and I think 

they’re a new generation of 

Bowie fans.” 

Ms Miller has been a singing 

teacher at Sumner School 

for nearly ten years and she 

also teaches at Redcliffs 

School. 

The 26 students that feature 

are current and former singing 

students of hers. 

“There are some really 

good voices out there and the 

children are such good kids. 

They’re kind and considerate 

people but vocally I’ve had 

some amazing singers come 

through,” she said.

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements 

The Blind Care Company has been 

cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds 

for over 60 years. Those six decades 

have seen changes in both fashion and 

technology. Styles have ranged from 

festooned fabric swags to straightforward 

and still popular holland roller blinds, 

from vertical to horizontal slat systems, 

and in every colour or pattern popular 

since the 1960s. 

Whatever your style, the Blind Care 

Company has the expertise to keep your 

window treatments looking fresh and 

working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly 

chemicals, the build-up of dirt, 

dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue 

can be removed so that your blinds 

smell fresh and are restored to their 

original glory. The company can repair 

blinds also, having a huge range of parts 

in stock. And if you want something 

completely new, a great range of blinds is 

available for purchase. 

The company prides itself on efficient 

service, providing a fast turn-around, 

with most work taking one or two 

days, and a same day cleaning option is 

available. It makes it as easy as possible 

for clients. The Cashel Street location 

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup 

and drop-off service is available. 150 

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site, 

or one of their mobile vans can do up to 

50 per day. That means they will come to 

your home or office, remove and clean 

your blinds on the spot and reinstall them 

for you. 

A cut-down and size alteration service 

is available in order that the blinds you 

bought are a perfect fit. 

They are experts in their field with a 

huge amount of experience to draw on. 

In fact, all their staff has been on board 

for at least 8 years, and many up to 20 

years. Whatever the job involves, they 

will work hard to make sure it gets done, 

including one job of 800 blinds which 

they completed in 4 days.

Brydon new Black Stick 

SPORTS 


• By Gordon Findlater 

HIGH SCHOOL Old 

Boys-Burnside player David 

Brydon has been named in 

the Black Sticks team to play 

Australia in November. 

The 20-year-old was named 

in the national team for the first 

time on the back of a standout 

year which has saw him win the 

most valuable player award at 

last month’s National Hockey 

League. 

The former St Bede’s College 

student received a phone call 

from Black Sticks coach Colin 

Batch early last week to deliver 

the good news. 

“It was definitely in the back of 

my mind. It’s nice to now know 

that I’m going to get that opportunity,” 

said Brydon. 

The side to take on Australia 

is a relatively young one. Fellow 

Canterbury Cavaliers player 

and former St Andrew’s College 

student Sam Lane and Dominic 

Newman will also make there 

international debuts against 

Australia. The three were part of 

the Canterbury team that won 

this year’s under-21 national 

tournament. 

Nick Haig has also made the 

Black Sticks squad and was part 

of the Canterbury Cavaliers 

men’s team which finished 

second at the NHL with Brydon, 

Lane and Newman.

Black Sticks player Andrew 

DEBUT: David Brydon will represent the Black Sticks for the 

first time in November against Australia in Auckland.

Hastie, the inclusion of the players 

comes as no suprise. 

“I’m very proud of these guys. I 

have no doubt they will have a lot 

of influence during the Australia 

series and I can see them going 

onto have bright futures in the 

black uniform,” said Hastie. 

It will be a busy end to the year 

for the midfielder. He will be part 

of the three-game trans-Tasman 

series in November and will then 

represent New Zealand at under-21 

level in the Junior World 

Cup this December in India. 

“It’s going to be hectic but it’s 

very exciting. We’re going to 

be going up against the world’s 

best teams so I’m really looking 

forward to it,” said Brydon. 

Brydon and the rest of the 

Black Sticks squad will assemble 

in Auckland later this month to 

begin their training camp ahead 

of the trans-Tasman series. 

The Black Sticks play Australia 

in Auckland on November 17, 19 

and 20.

ST MARGARET’S College has 

finished seventh at the New 

Zealand Secondary Schools 

Netball Championships, 

achieving their goal of returning 

to the top eight. 

The team that has won six 

consecutive Canterbury titles 

finished second at nationals 

two years ago but were looking 

to improve on last year’s 

tournament which saw them fall 

outside the top eight. 

In their first pool match St 

Margaret’s were thrashed 20- 

52 by tournament winner’s St 

Kentigern College, of Auckland.

There they were defeated 18-38 

by Auckland’s St Mary’s College. 

On the final day of 

competition, St Margaret’s met 

Rotorua Girls’ High School in a 

playoff for seventh and eighth. 

They led by just one goal at halftime. 

However, a strong finish to 

the match saw St Margaret’s win 

comfortably 35-22. 

St Andrew’s College also 

attended the tournament and 

finished 15th.

Our People 


Looking after top tennis players 

Bishopdale sports store owner Tony Ralfe has 

attended about 20 Davis Cup ties. In his 50 years 

of restringing tennis rackets he has met some 

of the world’s top players and enjoys his job 

every minute of every day. He chats with Andrew 

King about memorable Davis Cup matches, his 

favourite player and what he is looking forward 

to this year 

I hear you are a bit of a tennis 

legend around these parts, how 

did you get started in the sport? 

My mum and dad were keen 

tennis players. Dad was one of the 

top in North Otago and my mum 

played in representative grades. 

So myself and two sisters were 

carted around tennis courts and 

lived, ate and slept tennis from a 

very early age. 

So you were brought up on the 

court hitting a ball around? 

When we moved to Lowcliffe, 

near Ashburton, when I was 

around eight we had the tennis 

courts about 10m from the 

back door of the house. So we 

could just walk outside and start 

smacking a ball. 

Was a professional career ever 

on the cards for you? 

Oh, it could have been, but I 

decided to get into retail and then 

more into the administration 

side of things. I have been with 

Canterbury Tennis since 1968 

on the competition’s committee 

and then into management from 

1969 and been there ever since. I 

have been the Canterbury Tennis 

president for the last 11 years, so 

I have spent a few hours sitting 

around meeting tables. 

Was tennis your main sport 

when your were growing up? 

I played a bit of everything, 

being from a country school, but 

tennis was my main sport in the 

summer. I played some rugby 

when I was in Southland and 

then hockey when we moved 

to Lowcliffe. Then we moved to 

Christchurch and I have been 

here ever since. 

When did you get into 

stringing rackets? 

It was 50 years ago this year. It 

was my first job and back in those 

days it was all hand stringing,

then the machines came in and 

once there were metal rackets, 

you couldn’t hand string those 

so we did less and less. I worked 

for Anderson & Hill, under a guy 

called Harry Hill. He was one 

of the best hand stringers in the 

world at the time, well I thought 

he was, if not the best. 

So Harry would have been a 

bit of inspiration for you when 

you were starting out? 

He was unbelievably quick, he 

could hand string 10 rackets in a 

little over two hours. It was a real 

art. In those days it was real gut 

that you used. One night we had 

a guy walk in at 10 to nine asking

Megan Smith to the team

well 10 minutes later he was 

walking back out with it ready to 

go. It was the biggest tennis shop 

in town by a country mile back 

then. It was on Manchester St, 

then moved to Cashel St, before a 

lot of the other franchises started 

up. Unfortunately, Harry passed 

on a few years ago but he was a 

true inspiration. 

I’ve been told you have 

attended a few Davis Cup 

matches in your time, how many 

are you up to now? 

It is around the 19-20 mark, 

I need to go back through the 

records but it has been close to 20. 

What is your most memorable 

match? 

New Zealand-England at 

Pioneer Stadium. Unsure of the 

year but it was a match Chris 

Lewis didn’t play particularly well 

and his mother nearly nailed him 

to the door. “Don’t you ever play 

like that again,” I believe were the 

words out of her mouth. I’ll never 

forget that. But that is sport, every 

athlete has their off day. The 1979 

match between New Zealand, 

Australia at the King Edward 

Barracks in Christchurch, we had 

a lot of rain and it started to leak 

in through the roof and flood the 

court.

is no racket 

What was your role at that 

tournament? 

I was the main stringer for the 

players for about the last 20 ties 

in Christchurch. I have never 

missed one. 

You would have met a few 

big names of the game over the 

years? 

Yes, well for the last 12 years I 

have been going to Auckland and 

working at what is now known 

as the ASB Open as the senior 

stringer. Done some big names 

up there, and we have Serena 

Williams coming this year so 

there is a good chance I’ll get to 

string hers. I have done Venus’ 

the last few years and David 

Ferrer a couple of times as well as 

Caroline Wozniacki. 

Do you get to have a chat to 

them, maybe give them some 

advice? 

(Laughing) Sometimes, but 

a lot of the time the coaches 

do the donkey work, dropping 

the rackets off. But generally 

somewhere along the line we run 

into them and have a chat. 

What do you talk about? 

Oh, anything. From tennis to 

things they have seen in New 

Zealand, what they like about the 

country. All sorts really. 

Who is your favourite player? 

It has to be Roger Federer you 

can’t go past him. He is a model 

tennis player and it is a real shame 

the kids don’t try to emulate him 

rather than some of these other 

ones that are not quite in the same 

league behaviour-wise. 

Like Nick Kyrgios? 

Yes, well kids copy those kind 

of idiots on the court rather 

than the good ones. Have you 

ever seen Feds even hit a ball in 

anger ever, it doesn’t happen. Or 

query a line call in an aggressive 

manner? Some of these other 

guys are doing it all the time. 

What about New Zealand 

players? 

Chris Lewis would be one 

of our best players. Also Brett 

Steven. Those guys used to get off 

the plane and ask if Tony was the 

stringer. Once they knew I was 

they didn’t have many worries 

past that (laughing). 

Have you been to many major 

tournaments in a professional 

capacity? 

I went to Wimbledon in 2001. I 

went into the stringing room there 

after a couple of days. The guy in 

there said he could of given me 

a job. I told him that’s why I had 

left it a few days before coming in 

here because I wanted to watch, 

not work. It was nice watching 

for a change. I would tell the guys 

sitting next to me when ever a 

player broke their string. They 

would tell me I had good hearing 

and would reply breaking strings 

were music to my ears. 

How many rackets do you 

think you have restrung in your 

50 years? 

I have no idea. It would be 

certainly a few. We do about 

300 in the two weeks I am in 

Auckland for the open. I think I 

do about 1500 a year. 

Have you ever tightened them 

too much and had a player 

complain? 

There was a young Spanish 

player back when Rob Muldoon 

was prime minster, I can’t

off day. 

remember his name. He started 

on about 66 pounds and when the 

tournament was winding up he 

was on 42 pound. He kept coming 

back telling me it is too tight. But 

that doesn’t happen to often. 

I would imagine your kids 

would have been into the game? 

Yes, I have two boys, who have 

grown up and flown the coup 

now. They enjoyed the game 

when they were kids. 

So 50 years in the business, 

you must be closing to putting 

your feet up? 

I am looking at moving 

into retirement. Selling my 

store up and chase a few more 

tournaments. I can cart my 

machine around and string a few 

rackets for people. 

At any point during those 

50 years, did you about getting 

another job? 

(Laughing) Well, that would 

have been an idea, probably 

would have got paid better. But I 

have had a real interest in sport 

so this was the place for me. I’m 

not very good on horse racing, 

but most others I can tell you a 

thing or two about it. My wife 

is always groaning we have the 

sports channel on at home but 

never mind. We watch other 

things sometimes.

Theatre/Arts 


Classic TV comedy on stage 

Dad’s Army 

Produced by Cas ‘n’ Ova 

Productions 

Directed by Craig 

Hutchison and Rebecca 

Wakelin 

Reviewed by Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

Cas ‘n’ Ova has put on a 

humorous production about an 

endearing army of men too old 

or “unfit” for military service 

during World War 2. 

If you didn’t laugh throughout 

the show, you were certainly in 

the minority. Chuckles could be 

heard for most of the production, 

which I am sure would have 

been an interesting experience 

for some of the fairly new actors 

to the showbiz scene. 

Based on the BBC comedy, 

Dad’s Army recounts the 

misadventures of a voluntary 

defence force known as the 

Home Guard. 

Considering some of the 

actors had barely any acting 

experience at all, the cast put in 

a solid effort. And it was great 

a seasoned director such as 

Craig Hutchison took on board 

fresh-faced actors willing to give 

theatre a go. 

COMICAL SHOW: Ray Williamson as Lance Corporal Jones and Mike MacLeod as Captain 

Mainwaring. 

Mike MacLeod pulled off the 

role of Captain Mainwaring well. 

I loved the expressive pout he 

would make when he was angry. 

I saw many of those pouts 

particularly during a comical 

but disastrous date with Mrs 

Gray where Mainwaring was 

continuously interrupted by his 

soldiers. 

Like many of the cast, 

MacLeod had an uncanny 

resemblance to the original 

Captain Mainwaring, played by 

Arthur Lowe, which I think any 

Dad’s Army fan would adore. 

It was unfortunate MacLeod 

was dealing with a distracting 

cough, which is understandably 

difficult to deal with. He did his 

best, but it tainted what was a 

strong performance. 

Peter Watt, playing the role 

of Private Frazer, was a hit 

with the audience. Being a Scot 

himself, his accent was spot-on 

– but it was that classic blokey 

demeanour that gave him a great 

stage presence. 

Occasionally it looked as 

though the actors missed their 

cues and there seemed to be a bit 

of over-acting but, at the same 

time, these small imperfections 

added to the show’s comical 

value. 

I was surprised at how 

much I enjoyed this show. It 

wasn’t a full-scale professional 

production but the cast deserves 

to be acknowledged, particularly 

for their charisma. 

It was clear they enjoyed 

being up on stage and I think 

they would have had a lot of fun 

putting this show together. 

Go to the show not for perfection, 

but for a good night out. 

•The show finished on 

Saturday.

Fashion 

Week 

WALKING THROUGH the 

doors of The Contemporary 

Lounge late September, two 

polite doormen welcomed me 

and ushered me upstairs towards 

the launch party of Ballantynes 

Fashion Week. 

I was poured a glass of Daniel 

Le Brun bubbles and escorted 

to my seat in the atrium, 

where beautiful white flowers 

adorned the main stage and a 

long catwalk came out from in 

between the flora. 

There I saw hundreds of 

eager fashionistas lined up like 

dominoes along the catwalk 

in wait of the latest spring and 

summer trends. 

As luxurious as it was, the 

event wasn’t restricted to the 

elite in search of the most avantgarde 

pieces for their designer 

wardrobe. 

Ballantynes Fashion Week was 

more of a come one, come alltype 

affair. 

The opening night show was 

full of colour, excitement and 

fresh ideas. The show felt like

My favourite ensemble of the

featuring the Isaac Lulu Vinnie

The model was dressed impeccably 

head to toe and I was an 

absolute sucker for those wide

must-have at the moment. 

While I’m a big advocate of

also featured a mums and bubs

that we bring to the market we 

introduce customised 

marketing campaigns 

and develop individual 

strategies for the widest 

possible audience appeal. 

For us, that includes 

all potential local and 

national buyers as well 

as international lookers. 

This is made possible by 

our professional network, which 

help us spread the word far and 

near, because the market is larger 

than just our local communities. 

We also believe in providing 

accurate information from the 

outset including appraisals where 

we provide a realistic assessment 

of a property’s value in the 

market today. We pride ourselves 

on building a relationship with 

each client based upon the old 

fashioned values of honesty, 

trust, and good communication. 

Clients are not numbers. They 

are people and we want them 

to feel they can trust us and 

count on us any time they have a 

need for service or advice.” adds 

Karen. 

Barry and Karen’s goal of 

opening a real estate office has 

recently come to fruition. They 

have recently opened their own 

Ray White Real Estate location 

in Bishopdale. Stop by and see 

what’s happening in the property 

market and if you are looking 

to sell make sure you give them 

a call as they have excellent 

opening specials during October 

and November 

“Joining the Ray White group 

was an obvious choice for us.” 

says Barry. “Ray White is a 

family owned business which 

matches our personal value 

system. They believe in pride 

and integrity with every real 

estate transaction and so do we. 

These same values are shared 

by world-leading coach Steve 

Hansen who is Ray White 

New Zealand’s Global Brand 

Ambassador. The partnership 

between Steve Hansen and 

Ray White shares a common 

commitment to leadership, 

family values and ‘doing things 

the right way’. It also shines a 

light on Ray White’s strategic 

focus, which is dedicated to 

customer satisfaction and the 

client interests at heart”. 

The support and infrastructure 

that Ray White provides ensures 

that the team at Ray White 

Bishopdale can focus firmly on

Testimonials 

Barry & Karen helped me for over a year 

looking for a property, sometimes even 

driving me to and from viewings when I 

did not have a car. They were very helpful 

and were not pushy, they listened to what 

I wanted. I would recommend them to 

anyone looking at buying or selling a 

property” 

Tracey P, Grimseys Road Redwood 

Coming highly recommended by 

a colleague I contacted Barry to aid 

with the selling of our “As Is Where 

Is” property in Burwood. Being a very 

difficult market and not knowing how 

best to sell the property, Barry and his 

team provided the market details and 

confidence in previous sales to allow 

us to make the right decision. Excellent 

marketing stimulated the right activity 

to get our price expectation, a figure that 

Barry predicted from the first day we met. 

Always available and providing regular 

and detailed feedback, the sale was a 

success. Thanks to Barry & Karen and the 

team 

Steve H, Reginald Street Burwood 

We can recommend Karen & Barry Ellis 

unreservedly as Real Estate agents who 

truly care about and value their clients. 

Positivity, Enthusiasm and Knowledge 

were key elements in the selling of our 

home and both Karen & Barry readily 

made time available to discuss our 

needs. Their professional integrity and 

Karen and Barry Ellis, Ray White 

Real Estate Bishopdale. 

honesty were always evident throughout 

the process particularly when an offer 

was presented to us. From the initial 

photographs to the actual sale of our 

home we felt valued and consulted. Selling 

your home can be stressful but we always 

felt informed and confident that we were 

in “safe hands” in all respects.” 

Helen and Rae, Regents Park Drive 

Barry & Karen have been fantastic. They 

do what they say they are going to do and 

then they do extra. Totally professional 

but friendly with it. Barry & Karen made 

this process as easy and stress free as 

possible and it was really appreciated”. 

Stroudy, Shirley 

“Karen & Barry were recommended to 

us by our ASB banker, we found that they 

were very pro-active in their approach to 

selling our house. This was very evident 

by the number of viewers that came to the 

first open home they held. We would have 

no hesitation in recommending Karen & 

Barry Ellis”

Motoring 

Sporty flavour to 

chic Citroen DS3 

• By Ross Kiddie 

IN A perfect world, 

Citroen’s desire to have 

two marketing platforms 

globally would seem easy. 

Citroen effectively have 

two ranges – Citroen and 

DS. DS is an offshoot 

which produces cars just a 

little right of centre, trendy, 

fashionable and sporty. 

The PSA Group, which 

is the parent of company of 

Citroen and DS, has made 

it quite clear they would 

like to have separate showrooms 

for each brand, but 

here in New Zealand that’s 

an expensive investment, 

and one which would be 

hard to justify given the 

historically low volumes of 

Citroen sold here. 

And if you take into 

account there are also some 

joint dealerships for both 

Citroen and Peugeot, the 

latter also part of the PSA 

Group, the infrastructure 

involved in keeping 

all three brands separate 

would be rather costly and 

complicated. 

That being the case, to 

purchase a DS at present, 

buyers need to go to the 

Citroen dealership, and to 

my way of thinking, that’s 

the best scenario, while DS 

does stand out as being 

individual, the cars are still 

in many ways fundamentally 

Citroen. 

I’m due to drive the DS4 

Crossback and DS5 soon, 

this evaluation focuses on 

the baby of the series, the 

DS3, a small, funky, threedoor 

hatchback which 

utilises the Citroen C3 and 

Peugeot 208 platform. 

The DS3 also gets the 

1.2-litre, three-cylinder 

engine of Citroen’s Cactus, 

C4 and the Peugeot 208. It 

is an engine which punches 

well above its weight. It is 

rated at an amazing 81kW 

and has a fabulous 205Nm 

of torque available at just 

2000rpm. The latter is 

thanks to a fairly hefty turbocharged 

boost and if you 

take into account the light 

weight of the car at just 

975kg, it has remarkable 

performance and economy. 

It will accelerate from 

a standstill to 100km/h 

in 9.9sec, and scamper 

through a highway overtake 

in 6sec (80km/h to 

120km/h). Response to 

throttle request is pretty 

much instant, drive is 

through a six-speed automatic 

gearbox, and it is a 

transmission which doesn’t 

soak up too much out of 

the engine, the entire acceleration 

process is fluid. 

CITROEN DS3: Trendy three-door hatchback. 

Citroen also claim a 4.7- 

litre per 100km (60mpg) 

combined cycle fuel usage 

average. During my time 

with the test car the consumption 

readout was 

constantly listing around 

6l/100km (47mpg) with 

4.4l/100km (64mpg) available 

at a steady 100km/h, 

the engine quite relaxed at 

that speed turning over at 

just 2100rpm. 

• Price – Citroen DS3, 

$42,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

3948mm; width, 

1710mm; height, 

1483mm 

• Configuration – 

Three-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1199cc, 

81kW, 205Nm, sixspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 

4.7l/100km 

There’s no mistaking 

that something just a little 

bit different sits under the 

bonnet, the wee threepotter 

carries the traditional 

harmonics which sit 

with that configuration. 

I’m not saying it is noisy 

or unnatural, but it gets 

about its task with a feeling 

that is uncharacteristic for 

an internal combustion 

engine. 

That aside, it is a sensation 

I quite like; I’ve driven 

many three-potters over 

the years, one of my daily 

commute work vehicles was 

a Suzuki Alto, and I came 

to really enjoy the honesty 

of its three-cylinder engine, 

they have a lot of torque 

low down and that is where 

you need power. The DS3’s 

unit operates effectively 

at low revs, and that flexibility 

also contributes to 

those respectable fuel usage 

figures. 

And while it prefers to 

work at the lower part of 

the rev band, it will sing to 

the top end readily boosting 

all of the way without 

complaint. 

High performance versions 

of the DS3 in overseas 

markets have included 

a Racing version. Given 

it’s pedigree, I took the test 

car on the Summit Rd to 

Gebbies Pass and out to the 

plains via Coes Ford. The 

DS3 cruises quietly and 

feels nimble and agile when 

confronted with some 

tricky corners. In my introduction 

I suggested that 

DS range cars are just that 

little bit feisty. The DS3 has 

firmish suspension, quite 

removed from mainstream 

Citroen, and that contributes 

to the stiff sensation 

underneath. 

Riding on sport specification 

Michelin tyres (205/45 

x 17in), there is a lot of grip 

on offer, and if you add in 

direct and precise steerage 

the DS3 could well be considered 

a genuinely capable 

handling vehicle. 

However, when that 

type of motoring isn’t on 

the agenda the DS3 will 

appeal in many other ways. 

Its French origins come 

to the fore, its design cues 

are standouts and while it 

is just a baby hatchback it 

has two-tone colouring, 

and chic features which 

certainly take it out of the 

mainstream category. 

Inside, too, it has avantgarde 

styling elements. Not 

that they make driving the 

car a challenge, they don’t, 

but just the way the cockpit 

is laid out is visually different. 

Space-wise the DS3 

could really be considered 

a four-seater only, there are 

three seat belts across the 

rear, but that area is best 

reserved for those slight of 

stature. However, on the 

plus side, there is a respectable 

under-hatch load 

space (285-litres), surprisingly 

it easily accounted for 

the sizeable Kiddie-family 

weekly grocery shop. 

French manufacturers are 

well renowned for building 

passion into their cars. 

At $42,990 it isn’t the most 

affordable hatchback in 

today’s market, but if you 

want style and panache 

then the DS3 is the car for 

you.

Learning first aid is not only a 

part of ensuring a safe work place, but also 

an integral part of our engagement with 

the wider community. We all learn the 

necessary skills to ensure that in times of 

emergency we are able to assist our work 

colleagues, but are we able to take these 

skills home, into the community or on to 

the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and 

the injury risk for each place can be wide 

and variable. The office attended by 

administrators does not carry the same 

risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance 

from a regular ambulance service. it is 

therefore essential that you pick the right 

first aid course to suit all of your activities – 

both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who 

does not have a high risk work environment 

and whose concern might be to ensure 

that they can deal with minor cuts and 

superficial injuries, or the ability to perform 

effective CPr. These skills can be achieved 

on a course of eight hours duration and 

would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to 

a sports field either as a spectator or player 

when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 

and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not 

cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye 

injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of 

the work place, in fact one in three injuries 

occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. 

new Zealand children are twice as likely 

to die through injury as children who live 

in australia. They mostly die as a result 

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the 

home. fatalities from leisure and sport are 

not far behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the 

additional unit standard 6400 and provides 

a wide knowledge base for medium to high 

risk environments. This course covers many 

of the skills required to deal with the most 

common injuries, such as falls (which can 

result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and 

dealing with complex scenes such as motor 

vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best 

suited to your needs, ask your accredited 

first aid training provider. They can explain 

the course content and give you options 

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond 

the workplace and consider your family and 

your location. Check that you have a good 

quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with 

replenished items, and that everyone knows 

where it is located.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Migraine relief 

Krissy Winter saw an article in the local newspaper a year ago and having suffered 

from debilitating migraines wondered if the treatment would help her. 

“My migraines were debilitating and 

they’d often come without warning. 

Sometimes once a week, but generally 

about once a month. I’d moved up from 

Dunedin where I’d managed them with 

my Osteopath, Yoga and Pilates. In 

Christchurch I was so reluctant to let 

anyone near my neck. I read the article 

and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I 

went to the first appointment with a page 

of all the concerns I had. The first time I 

met Laurie I remember walking out and 

feeling more in control. After about four 

treatments with Laurie and perfecting the 

technique she taught me I truly began to 

reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I 

feel a migraine coming on I now have the 

control to manage it myself, even stopping 

them from taking over, without needing 

someone to drive me in to the Osteopath 

or the hospital for an injection to relieve 

the pain. With the technique Laurie 

taught me I’m armed and dangerous!” 

Many people suffer continually from 

headache and migraine pain not knowing 

what help is at hand from three specially 

trained Physiotherapists at Muscle People. 

In the past ten years, the understanding of 

what causes headaches and migraines has 

significantly changed. The research now 

shows that sensitisation of the brain stem 

is what causes this pain. 

Laurie, Clare and Naomi have trained 

in Australia in the Watson Approach 

which is proven to work. This method 

examines and treats the movements of 

the first three segments of the neck, which 

when sensitised cause headaches and 

migraines. 

“In our clinics we see people from 

as far away as Invercargill who come 

to us specially to seek treatment” says 

Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People 

Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium 

in Australia we went to just recently 

reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we 

do, and honed our skills even more.” 

Generally patients will come to our 

clinic four or five times in the first few 

weeks of treatment. We show them some 

very simple exercises to do at home. 

After the first few weeks, treatments the 

sessions are guided by how the patient is 

feeling. 

“Often patients come to us at the end 

of a long journey having tried quite a few 

other treatments, and we are able to help 

them reduce or remove their pain. If you 

think this technique might help you, but 

aren’t sure, give us a call.” Laurie says. 

Give the friendly team at Muscle 

People Physiotherapy a call on 360 3606 

to book in to their headache clinic. 

With the technique 

Laurie taught me I’m 

armed and dangerous!

REAL ESTATE 

Family versatility in private and peaceful setting 

20 Dunrobin Place, Avonhead 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing # 2867 

Positioned at the end of a quiet culde-sac 

and enjoying a northerly aspect 

this 1970’s classic block home offers 

flexibility, function and will suit a myriad 

of family situations. An expansive, formal 

lounge opens out to the 663sqm grounds, 

enabling family and friends to enjoy the 

sun or dine alfresco. The crucial kitchen 

area – such a hub for families is brand 

sparkling new. Living areas are light and 

open welcoming the sun while retaining 

all-important privacy. With three generous 

double bedrooms upstairs, a northern 

balcony extends from two of the three 

bedrooms with vistas of the garden while 

also doubling as a sheltered sunroom. The 

décor throughout is neutral, allowing you 

to easily impact your own touches inside. 

Downstairs is a bit or a treat where this 

home showcases its options for different 

family configurations. A fourth generous 

double bedroom, new bathroom and 

a separate toilet will allow you to have 

family separation when needed and 

accommodate guests when you like. The 

grounds are a safe environment for young 

children and pets with the address falling 

inside the Burnside High School and 

Merrin Primary School zone. A double 

garage with additional space for off-street 

parking puts an exclamation mark on the 

package here for your consideration – you 

simply must inspect our subject property. 

Immediate possession is available. 

Open homes Thursday and Sunday 

12.30am-1.00pm. For a private viewing 

contact Peter or Kathryn Hampton 

of Harcourts St Albans - Holmwood 

(Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 

377 0377 or Peter mobile 021 367 761.
