Protester
puts away
placard
as work
restarts
A day out
in the mud
Elmwood Normal School pupil Jonty
Johnson, 7, scrambled his way through the
mud at last week’s Muddy Good Run. The
children’s course was 1.5km of running
through muddy pits, down slippery slides
and over hay bales.
• By Julia Evans
A MAN protesting road works,
which he says will narrow
the street too much and limit
access, has packed in his
placard.
Murray Turley stood out in
the rain for two days on the
corner of Grassmere St and
Main North Rd protesting
about a “killer bulge” that pedestrians
will use to cross Main
North Rd.
Work came to a brief pause
last week when Mr Turley stood
on the construction site and
forced Fulton Hogan to pack
up and leave.
However, after the city
council’s investigation into
Mr Turley’s concerns, work on
the pedestrian crossing access
restarted on Friday.
Papanui city councillor Mike
Davidson visited residents in
Grassmere St, including Mr
Turley, and listened to the
problems they had with the
work to come up with a solution.
As a way to ease their concerns,
Cr Davidson organised
a simulation of a truck and
boat navigating an intersection
identical to Grassmere St and
Main North Rd.

DRIVERS, PLEASE slow down
outside Harewood School.
While it may be a 70km/h
zone for some of the day, we still
need to make sure the pupils are
safe at all times. Check out the
principal’s plea to slow down on
page 3.
On a more positive note, there’s
some good sports results coming
out of north-west schools this
week.
Rangi Ruru’s tennis team
capped off a fantastic season

Principal’s plea: Stop speeding
• By Julia Evans
DRIVERS HITTING the
accelerator past Harewood
School are causing concern for
the safety of pupils.
Principal Julie
Greenwood is
pleading for
drivers to slow
down as they pass
the school, saying
Julie
Greenwood
many seem to
have a case of
“lead foot.”
When coming off Johns Rd
on to Harewood Rd, some
drivers don’t seem not to notice
the 40km/h speed limit sign,
Mrs Greenwood said.
“We’ve had a couple vehicles
go through the crossing patrol
when the signs were out.”
She said police had used
a speed gun to catch drivers
and took the issue to the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board.
The school has since been
liaising with board member
Aaron Campbell.
Mr Campbell said he and
the school have been trying to
get the speed limit outside the
school permanently reduced
during off-peak hours.
He said that is unlikely to
happen.
Outside pick-up and
drop-off times, the stretch of
road in front of the school is
70km/h. However, because
of road upgrades, it has been
50km/h for the past three
years.
Traffic engineers have said
there is not enough residential
housing in the area to justify a
permanent 50km/h speed limit.
So far the school has
upgraded the 40km/h signs to
make them more prominent to
drivers.
But Mr Campbell is worried
about the predicted increase
in traffic along Harewood Rd
due to the planned Western
Corridor.
If the school can’t get the
speed permanently decreased,
Mrs Greenwood said she wants
people to be more vigilant and
slow down.
CONCERN:
Pupil safety
is of concern
at Harewood
School with
some cars not
stopping at
the school’s
crossing.

SLOAN
“We need drivers to actually
think what if that was my child?
They need to put on that hat
and I think that would help,”
she said.
But for now, the school will
rely on its road patrol to keep
pupils are safe.
“Our road patrol does a
fabulous job, but we have to be
very vigilant – we wait a long
time before letting children
cross.”

Motorway and cycleway flaws
Papanui resident Phil Day
reflects on the current
concerns in his area – the
third lane on the Northern
Motorway and the
cycleway on Grassmere St
One wonders sometimes if city
council shares a single brain cell.
I’ve got a copy of the 1968
Northern Motorway plans,
which direct the traffic through
the Flockton Basin, linking on
to the one-way Barbadoes and
Madras Sts.
There is old Post Office
engineers land at the end of St
Albans for a park and ride building
but successive councils have
hurried to tear down the old
housing and put in new, preventing
the Northern Motorway
connecting directly with town.
It would now cost millions just
to buy up the new properties for
the old route. The new route was
probably suggested by a kindergarten.
Now, traffic coming off
the motorway will pile on to
Cranford St and all the ratruns
are being blocked so that
I reckon the journey along
Cranford St to Bealey Ave will
take 20 minutes-plus and be an
utter nightmare.
The third lane is needed for
cyclists, especially as there will
be so many more of them now so
much taxpayer money is being
spent clogging up the roads
around town.
Three cheers to John Button
and Murray Turley on their
stand against the Grassmere St
cycle path – there was
no consultation.
People of Ngaio Marsh
Retirement Village found out by
accident that the path was going
in, making the road dangerous
and killing off businesses in
Rutland St and at the Sawyers
Arms and Main North Rds
corner.
On a brighter note, I
congratulate the city council
on the much needed bypass
behind the airport just as
the Government decides we
need one at Johns Rd, which
is causing traffic problems for
Wairakei Rd businesses.
Readers respond to a
story about the Papanui-
Innes Community Board’s
objection to a third lane on
the Northern Motorway
Jonathan Holtslag – If
people could simply learn how
to drive properly on a motorway
that would be a huge help. Speed
up to 100km/h on the on-ramp,
indicate your intended lane
change, stay in the left lane
unless passing. These are all
simple things that would make
our lives a lot easier.
Dave Moore – Stupid idea.
Rail is the answer.
Brodie Champain Archer
– We need a bridge midway
between the gorge and the main
Waimakariri River Bridge.
Feed the traffic through to West
Melton, Rolleston and to the
Southern Motorway extensions.
It would totally change the
flow of traffic, allow a quick
route south, make North
Canterbury more accessible and
allow more people to work in the
industrial hubs in the industrial
zone.
Trevor Taylor – Why is it
the decision of a city council
community board? It’s a road
that’s looked after by the New
Zealand Transport Agency.
And why should Christchurch
ratepayers pay to upgrade a road
NOR’WEST NEWS
so Waimakariri ratepayers can
get to work faster?
Rich Brown – Another
bridge by the airport would be
better and more cost effective in
the long run.
Jeff Bell – Control flow. Cut
the northbound bridge to one
lane during peak hour in the
morning and feed traffic down
that over the river.
Helen Milligan – Think
ahead. Trams are the way to go.
Straight down the middle all the
way from north to the city.
Parks and rides at different
stops.
Brendon Liddicoat –
Connect Pound Rd from Main
South Rd to Oxford as a heavy
transportation route bypass.
Yes, another bridge over the
Waimakariri River but common
sense, I think.

Rare Vincentian Cross medal
for parish’s good Samaritan
• By Sarla Donovan
BEING GIVEN the rare
Vincentian Cross was an
experience “quite out of this
world” for Russell McKee.
The 86-year-old was awarded
the medal by the president of the
Society of St Vincent de Paul,
Renato Lima de Oliveria, for
his 56 years of membership and
service.
Mr McKee’s voluntary work
with St Vincent de Paul began in
1961 when the parish priest at St
Joseph’s church, Papanui, asked
for his assistance in helping the
poor and needy.
“There were lots of local people
who couldn’t manage, lots of
poor people around. Usually the
money was going on booze or
gambling,” said Mr McKee
The priest gave him a list of
regular clients to visit.
“We would take food, or
clothing, or school uniforms,
whatever the need was.”
He still drives around each
week to visit clients in need of
help. “People are poor managers,”
he said.
Mr McKee said he had never
expected such an award. He was
motivated by a desire to help
UNEXPECTED AWARD: Russell McKee, with his wife Janette,
never thought he would be awarded a special medal for his 56
years of service to the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
those less fortunate than him.
“Those who have been given
many gifts have an obligation to
share.”
His wife of 60 years, Janette, is
also a volunteer with St Vincent
de Paul.
The two met through their
involvement with Catholic
tennis and youth clubs before
marrying at St Mary’s church
in Manchester St on April 22,
1957.
With their diamond wedding
anniversary approaching later
this month, plans are afoot for a
party to mark the occasion.
“My dear wife is organising a
social at the RSA in Papanui. It’s
a busy time.”
DONE DEAL: Murray Turley has retired his placard and called it
a day on his protest after the roads works resumed.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Protester gives up
•From page 1
It was conducted on the corner
of Proctor St and Main North
Rd by city council staff who
successfully managed to get the
boat and trailer around the turn.
Cr Davidson said after
watching a video of the
simulation, he was more than
satisfied that the work should
continue.
However, Mr Turley said he is
not happy with the outcome. He
said he was under the impression
the city council was going to use
a Grassmere St resident’s truck
and boat.
Although he is disappointed,
Mr Turley has decided to pack in
his placard and said he had tried
his best.
“It’s a done deal – I’d be issued
with a trespass noticed and I’m
retired. I can’t afford any legal
stuff,” he said.
Mr Turley was angry because
he said the residents had been lied
to when told during consultation
they would have unrestricted
access in and out of Grassmere St.
“We were promised
unrestricted access in the
consultation process and I don’t
believe we’ve got that. We’ve got
restricted access.”
However, Cr Davidson said
every day work was paused would
cost the city council more money.
Mr Turley said he doesn’t want
to see the road have to be dug up
and redone later, which would be
expensive.

Students design
gadgets to help needy
• By Julia Evans
SELWYN HOUSE pupils
may have just invented some
revolutionary tools to help
paralysed people.
Pupils from year 7 had Adrienne
Coleman talk to them about
some of the difficulties she faces
because of tetraplegia.
They were tasked with designing
gadgets to help Mrs Coleman
overcome the challenges and
have developed prototypes to get
feedback on.
Although some girls made
mistakes and had disasters, there
were several inventions that particularly
stood out, said teacher
Simon Christie.
INVENTORS:

SELWYN
HOUSE ​
Mrs Coleman hadn’t used a
knife since her accident 21 years
ago until the first time she tested
the prototype made by pupils
Lucy Maynard, Emma Mason
and Xanthe McElroy.
“The knife is particularly
remarkable,” Mr Christie
said.
The girls developed a design
for the knife that has the handle
at 90 deg to the blade and incorporates
a fork on the end, so Mrs
Coleman can cut her food, stab it
and eat it.
She has used the knife to cut
and eat an apricot – something
which was impossible for her to
do before.

St Margaret’s traffic issues
• By Julia Evans
ST MARGARET’S College
is rethinking its traffic safety
measures after complaints about
speed, congestion and parking
issues.
The college’s Papanui Rd entrance
has been closed to parents
dropping off students before and
after school while it addresses
the problems.
Associate principal Chris Wyeth
said the school is making the
entrance pedestrian access only
to minimise the amount of cars
around pedestrians.
Winchester, Andover and
Shrewsbury Sts are all busy
before and after school – parents
are expected to park further
from the gates.
NOR’WEST NEWS
“Your daughters are capable of
walking along the street to meet
you by parking in a safe zone,”
Mrs Wyeth said.
The school’s entrance on
Andover St is for staff use only
so it is not an alternative place to
drop students off.
The school’s priority is creating
a safer environment for its
students.

Edible garden winners
HEALTHY EATING: Kidsfirst Northcote has won its ninth
consecutive Heart Foundation gold award for teaching children
healthy habits. ​
Healthy food earns
kindy another award
FOR THE ninth year in a
row Kidsfirst Northcote has
been recognised with a Heart
Foundation award.
It won a Healthy Heart Gold
Pā-Harakeke (flourishing)
Award, which is awarded to
kindergartens that teach healthy
eating and physical activity.
“We were the very first early
learning centre to achieve the
gold award and we are really
proud of our continuing achievements,”
Kidsfirst Northcote head
teacher, Leigh Downie said.
The kindergarten has consistently
held gold award status
since the awards started in 2010.
Bek Parry, a nutrition advisor
with the Heart Foundation
in Canterbury, said she was
impressed with the way Kidsfirst
Northcote always shoot for gold.
“They do really great work to
promote positive messages at
kindergarten around keeping
hearts healthy,” she said.
Kidsfirst Ilam has also been
working with the Heart Foundation
and in2hula to trial the
Hoop with Heart programme.
Children hula hooped to
music, participated in games and
used the hoops to act out a story.
After its success the Hoop with
Heart team rolled out the programme
in other early learning
centres around the city last week.
THE FIFTH annual Papanui-
Innes Edible Garden Awards
were held on Thursday.
The award ceremony
attracted more than 50
guests as well as elected
members from the Papanui-
Innes Community Board
and members of the
Canterbury Horticultural
Society.
This year, 48 entries were
received in the categories of
residential house, residential
unit, schools and early learning
centres and community
gardens – an increase from last
year’s total of 35.
“It was extremely pleasing
this year to see the large
number of first time entrants,
and those who have previously
entered, entering again and
remaining committed to their
gardens,” said community
board chairwoman Ali Jones,
The awards are open to any
residents who live within the
Papanui or Innes wards, and
it is hoped that in time the
awards will be held across the
city.
Special nods were also given
to a first-time entrant, best
tomatoes, best yield
and commitment to
sustainability.
The event is a partnership
between the community board
and Canterbury Horticultural
Society.
BEST IN SHOW: Rochelle Morgan’s garden took out the
residential house category, while Shirley Boys’ High School’s
crop (below) won the school or early learning centre category. ​

St Andrew’s teen powers
to rowing world record
SOLID EFFORT: Jade Feneon (left), Tessa McCann, Luka
Simmers, Kate Edwards and Kyla Otway capped off a fantastic
season with fifth place at the national secondary school
competition.
Rangi tennis team shows
potential in Auckland
RANGI RURU’S senior tennis
team has capped off a fantastic
season with fifth place at the
national secondary school
competition in Auckland.
The team which won the
Christchurch girls’ qualifying
tournament and came second
at the South Island secondary
school tournament fought hard
to achieve the result.
Rangi Ruru tennis convenor
Anne Bissland said the school
has not had a tennis team at the
national competition since 2015
so it was satisfying after a busy
season.
“The team spirit and hard
work paid off and the girls
only narrowly missed out
on making the top four after
some close games earlier in the
competition,” she said.
“This is a young team with
a lot of potential and we look
forward to watching their
progress over the next few
years.”
RECORD HOLDER: St Andrew’s student Seb Caulder can
boast that he has a world record in rowing at the age of 15.
• By Andrew King
ST ANDREW’S student Seb
Caulder can boast that he has a
world record in rowing at the age
of 15.
He was being tested on his
speed and strength during a
training session prior to the
Maadi Cup and managed to row
2000m in 6min 25sec, breaking
the record of 6min 28sec.
“I was in shock really. I never
thought I would ever beat a
world record,” he said.
Caulder, who lives in Prebbleton,
said the previous record was
held by a United Kingdom rower,
and he knows there will be some
others gunning to take his time
down.
“I’m sure there will be some
out there looking to beat that
time,” he said.
He was part of the school’s
contingent of rowers who competed
at the recent Maadi Cup
regatta.
He came second in the
under-16 eight and third in under-15
four.
Concept 2, a company which
manufactures the rowing machines
he set the record on, sent
Caulder a certificate to celebrate
his achievement as well as a
drink bottle and towel.
Now, with the rowing season
over, Caulder will turn his attention
to the upcoming rugby
season – he plays prop in the
under-16 school team.
He said it could be difficult to
choose which sport he will pursue
in the future as he loves both.
“It is pretty tough choosing
between rugby and rowing. They
are pretty even,” he said.
“Rowing is a lot harder fitnesswise
and you have to get up
earlier, but I enjoy it.”

Graham chases triathlon dream
DOMINANT: Ari Graham finished more than a minute clear of
the field at the Sea2Sky event.
PHOTO: SEA2SKY CHALLENGE
• By Gordon Findlater
A SUCCESSFUL background in
middle distance running looks
to have set former St Andrew’s
College triathlete Ari Graham
on a path to glory.
Graham, 18, won the recent
Sea2Sky Challenge in Sumner,
the latest of many achievements.
She competed in last year’s
national track and field championships
in Dunedin, winning
both the under-18 800m and
1500m titles. She is also a champion
cross-country runner and
has previously represented New
Zealand at secondary school
level.
After trying her hand at a
couple of school triathlons, she
made the bold move to turn her
full attention to triathlon and it’s
now paying dividends.
Graham has taken a gap year
following her final year at St Andrew’s
and is currently working
part-time, and training full-time
with the Canterbury Triathlon
Academy.
Over the summer, she competed
in the National Junior
Series, which is contested
between the top under-19s in
the country over five events.
Graham not only won the series,
she took out all five events.
“I was really shocked with
how well it went in my first
year of triathlon. Every time I
competed I wasn’t really expecting
to win. I was just excited to
compete and learn from racing,”
said Graham.
Graham has always been a
strong swimmer and runner.
She has been hard at work on
her cycling with coach Axel
Reiser to develop her technique
and bunch-riding tactics this
year.
The weeks are busy with four
pool, three run and three cycle
sessions. To keep it competitive,
she spends most of her time
training with a lot of the top
boys at the academy.
“It’s about putting her into an
environment where she’s being
pushed,” said Reiser.
He believes that Graham
shows all the signs for them to
be hopeful about her development.
However, like all young
athletes, there are a lot of factors
in the future which will determine
what she could go on to
SPORTS
achieve.
“If you look at her times and
compare that to previous Olympic
champions, then she is now
faster than them at this stage,”
said Reiser.
Graham currently competes
over the sprint distance, which
consists of a 750m swim, 20km
bike and 5km run, half the
length of the sport’s Olympic
distance. Since dedicating
her time to triathlon, she has
had the opportunity to work
alongside New Zealand’s top
female triathlete Andrea Hewitt.
They swim together under the
guidance of Roly Crichton,
who trains New Zealand’s most
successful Paralympian Sophie
Pascoe.
“I used to train with Roly at
QE II when I was younger. I’ve
always kept in touch with him
and when I finished school,
I was able to train with him
again,” said Graham.
She’s planning a month-long
campaign in Europe later this
year, which she hopes to finish
by representing New Zealand
in the junior category at the
ITU Triathlon grand final
in September in Rotterdam,
Netherlands.

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
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE 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
HIP PAIN
if it is going to work for them or not,
without financial commitment.
