rejected 


FENDALTON residents have 

failed in a bid to get motorists to 

stop taking short cuts down their 

street. 

Rochdale St residents concerned 

with rat-running in the area called 

for the street to be made “residents 

only” from Straven Rd during 

an on-site meeting with the city 

council. 

But the city council said it would 

not be possible. 

Reporting back to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board, city council 

staff said: “Making Rochdale St 

residents only at Straven Rd is not 

appropriate as it is a public road.” 

The meeting was attended by 

residents from Harakeke and 

Rochdale Sts, city council staff, 

and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

chairwoman Helen Broughton,

Intersection wager causes stoush 


A STOUSH has broken out 

between Aaron Keown and 

John Stringer over a contentious 

Harewood intersection. 

City councillor Keown has 

dismissed Papanui-Innes Community 

Board member John 

Stringer’s claim that the Gardiners, 

Breens and Harewood Rds 

intersection does not need traffic 

lights. 

Mr Stringer wrote an opinion 

piece for last week’s Nor’West 

News where he said upgrading 

the intersection was “not a local 

priority”. He said there had been 

too much coverage on one side 

of the argument. 

But Cr Keown said that’s simply 

not true. 

“As the local city councillor, 

I’ve been contacted by a lot of 

residents about ‘their’ issue, 

which is the Breens, Harewood 

and Gardiners intersection, and 

I am merely their spokesperson,” 

he said. 

Mr Stringer lives near the 

intersection but is a member of 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board, which does not cover the 

junction. 

He suggested a traffic island 

would be enough to “solve his 

[Cr Keown’s] problem”. 

But the city councillor said 

MONOPOLY: John Stringer “claimed” city councillor Aaron 

Keown’s (right) $100 reward. 

installing traffic lights at the 

intersection was not just an idea 

he had come up with. 

“The idea of traffic lights is not 

mine but an idea of the people I 

represent and I support them,” 

he said. 

Cr Keown said it is his job to 

speak on behalf of the residents 

of Harewood, who have asked 

for this upgrade for years. 

A petition signed by more 

than 1000 people would suggest 

lights are what they want. 

“As elected members, it is 

our job to speak on behalf of 

our residents, and I’ve been 

contacted about this intersection 

more than any other issue ever 

in my 10 years of being elected,” 

Cr Keown said. 

Mr Stringer said the intersection 

at Johns and Harewood Rds 

is more dangerous than the Gardiners, 

Breens and Harewood 

Rds intersection. He “claimed” 

Cr Keown’s offer of $100. 

The city councillor had offered 

$100 to anyone who could 

come up with a more dangerous 

intersection than Gardiners, 

Harewood and Breens Rds. But 

Cr Keown said the Johns and 

Harewood Rds intersection is 

not in the city council’s jurisdiction, 

nor is it more dangerous. 

“I’ve only ever had a couple of 

mentions of the Johns Rd and 

Harewood Rd intersection as it’s 

not even our jurisdiction – it is a 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

corridor,” he said. 

Cr Keown said Mr Stringer’s 

Monopoly money would not 

help the issue at all. 

“The real money needs to be 

stumped up for an intersection 

upgrade that the people of Harewood 

say is long overdue,” Cr 

Keown said.

Testimonials: 

Doug Garlick 

of Westport has been a 

client of Greg's since the 

late 1990's. Doug's 

hearing loss is mainly 

work related and has 

been deteriorating over 

the years. "I have tried 

many hearing aids over 

the years but I am totally 

sold on my present 

hearing aids. They are the 

best yet and you hardly 

know you are wearing 

them. I hear sounds I 

have not heard for many 

years" says Doug. Doug 

found the service 

"fantastic" and "the whole 

process and follow-ups 

were excellent, friendly, 

and informative." 

Les Singer of Hokitika is 

another very satisfied 

client since 1995. Les lost 

his hearing many years 

ago and has worn a 

number of hearing aids 

over the years with each 

model better than the 

previous one. Wearing 

hearing aids helps Les 

communicate and 

understand 

conversations, particularly 

with his wife, family, and 

grandchildren. Hearing 

aids has improved quality 

of life and reduced stress 

for all concerned. Les is 

very happy with the 

excellent service provided

GENERAL ELECTION 2017 – MEET THE CANDIDATES 

Ilam electorate 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

EMERGENCY EYE 

SURGERY FOR JESS 

Meet “Jess” an 8 year old black and 

white moggy with real attitude, 

who recently flew down from 

Nelson to see Dr Steve Heap for 

emergency surgery on her left eye. 

Her primary vet at Alabama Vets, 

had seen her a week earlier for a 

painful superficial ulcer ( probably 

from a cat scratch injury). Jess 

was very hard to examine so 

was started on topical eye 

ointment and anti-inflammatory 

medication. Jess was otherwise 

well. She returned 2 days later as 

her owners couldn’t medicate 

the eye either. By this stage her 

left eye was producing a bloody 

infected discharge, had swelled 

up and the ulcer had grown in 

size. Her vet added in antibiotic 

tablets and more medication 

for inflammation, swelling 

and pain but the next day the 

ulcer looked no better. Jess 

needed to be sedated as the 

vet couldn’t examine this eye 

with her awake. Her eye was 

stained with fluorosein( as can 

be seen in the attached photo) 

and had become non healing 

and so given the difficulty 

in medicating Jess it was thought a better 

way to go was surgery in Christchurch with 

DrSteve Heap. 

So Jess flew to Steve and was operated on 

immediately to prevent the eye collapsing 

and impaired vision. Steve performed 

a lamellar keratectomy to remove the 

dead, soft, spongy tissue on edges of the 

deep stromal corneal ulcer. A conjunctival 

flap was sutured over the large defect 

to allow the perfect environment for 

healing, meaning a good blood supply and 

protection from environmental allergens. 

Due to the difficulty in checking the healing 

progress of Jess’s eye it was thought a good 

idea to board her at McMaster & Heap vets 

until Steve was happy that the ulcer was 

healing. As we were still unable to get near

her eye to apply drops, long acting injections 

were given for ease and for her comfort. 

Needless to say she needs a head collar worn 

to stop her irritating her eye, undoing all 

Steve’s good work. 

So far so good 4 days out from her surgery. 

She is eating up a storm and feisty again 

which means she’s back to her happy self. 

Steve has given the all clear and she flies 

home on Friday to her eagerly awaiting, 

doting parents. 

Steve sees at least 10 eye referrals daily and 

many of these patients end up needing 

surgery. Eye injuries can’t wait if the end 

result is to save the eye and Steve will often 

come into the clinic on his days off to see 

emergency cases. The take home message 

here is don’t wait with eye problems – get 

them looked at early by your vet, as two eyes 

are always better than one!!

Ilam electorate 

David Lee - Green 

Party 

David is a native Cantabrian 

with strong roots in 

Ilam. 

Connection and connectedness 

are fundamental 

to his vision for a better 

Christchurch and a better 

New Zealand. 

A career urban planner, 

David understands how 

the physical world fosters 

and sustains personal and 

community wellbeing. Relationships 

with our environment, 

and connection to 

the world at large, provide a 

sense of identity, affiliation, 

and belonging. 

As MP for Ilam, David 

will get Canterbury back 

onto the government’s 

agenda. Rebuilding critical 

infrastructure and services 

for a 21st-century city – 

and beyond, investment 

in transport networks and 

clean water are essential for 

Cantabrians to enjoy the 

standard of living that all 

New Zealanders deserve. 

In central and local 

government roles David 

has been responsible for 

environmental policy and 

transport planning. 

He is currently an elected 

representative, leading 

climate change, technology, 

innovation and enterprise – 

the way forward to address 

environmental sustainability. 

Raf Manji - 

Independent 

It’s been my privilege 

to serve you as a local 

councillor since 2013. 

Much has been achieved 

in that time but we are 

still far from securing the 

thriving 21st-century city 

we envisaged back in 

2011. 

It’s been five years 

since the blueprint and it’s 

time for a reset and new 

leadership. 

You have two votes to 

cast this election – one 

for the party you want to 

lead the next Government 

and one for the person 

you think can best 

represent Ilam and 

Christchurch’s interests in 

Parliament. 

As an independent I 

will be free to focus on 

local issues, such as water 

quality, transport, health 

and housing, as well as 

continuing to make sure 

the next Government 

finishes the rebuild job 

properly. 

Christchurch needs a 

strong, independent voice 

in Wellington, 

and someone who can 

work with the next 

Government. 

And that’s why I’m 

asking you to vote for 

me as your electorate 

candidate for Ilam. 

Martin Frauenstein – 

Conservative 

Martin settled in Wellington 

New Zealand in 

1996. 

Since 2011 he and his 

wife have lived in the 

Ilam electorate. He was a 

solutions architect at the 

CDHB for four and a half 

years, and has since reestablished 

his IT consultancy. 

Martin holds a strong 

sense of justice, and the 

belief that offenders should 

be held accountable for 

their actions while being 

rehabilitated to be 

reintegrated as productive 

members of society. 

He has been an active 

volunteer with Corrections 

since 2012. 

He holds the preservation 

of life and strong 

families dear. As a pro-life 

advocate, supports the 40 

Days for Life movement. 

Voting, is a cornerstone 

of democracy – the 

voice of the people. 

The Conservative Party 

principle of binding 

citizens-initiated referenda 

therefore resonates 

strongly with him. 

The Conservative principles 

of democracy, family 

and justice offer voters the 

chance to “hit the reset 

button” on the future of 

New Zealand. 

Martin Thomas Francis 

– Independent 

My name is Martin 

Francis, I am 75-years-old 

and live in the ‘red zone’. 

I stand for the people 

affected by the earthquakes 

and who live every 

day, dealing with the 

Governments deception by 

ruling areas of Christchurch 

to be ‘red zones.’ 

The Quake Outcast 

group has now won five 

court rulings in its favour, 

at their own cost, the 

Supreme Court deeming 

that the red zone zoning is 

unlawful. 

The land and those 

improvements that 

have been obtained by 

the Government is by 

deception and can now 

be said to be ‘proceeds of 

crime’. I stand to fight to 

right the wrong. 

In the red zone, all 

sections and improvements 

insured or uninsured, to be 

treated as equal. 

Gerry Brownlee 

announced to the media 

a game to push uninsured 

off their land, without 

paying for improvements. 

I stand to push for 

repairing the red zone 

errors the Government 

has made. Doing it once, 

doing it right.

want support services, solid 

infrastructure and a safe 

place to relax and enjoy 

ourselves. 

Christchurch continues 

to go from strength to 

strength, with strong job 

growth, more visitors and 

regeneration plans well 

under way. 

But, there’s plenty more 

to be done. 

That’s why I’ll be out 

over the next 11 days 

knocking on doors, 

speaking to local groups, 

attending events and 

connecting with as many 

people as possible. 

I’m committed to helping 

Christchurch get back on 

its feet and ensuring it’s a 

great place for everyone to 

live, work and play. 

Ian Gaskin – United 

Future 

United Future is leading 

the debate on drug law 

reform. 

If I’m elected to represent 

Christchurch Central I 

will likely be a government 

coalition partner and be 

able to change the law. 

By enabling drug addicts 

to get drugs on prescription 

we will see a major 

reduction in crime. 

By allowing class C drugs 

to be sold a large new 

cash flow will assist the 

Government. 

1080 poison. 

We can farm opossum 

and use the 30 million 

possum in the wild as 

foundation stock. 

Worldwide fine fur is a 

$80 billion dollar industry. 

We can feed farmed 

possum with hydroponic 

grown freshwater seaweed 

and watercress, this will 

help clean rivers. 

This will bring 10000 

jobs to rural South Island 

towns. 

I’m 62-years-old and 

have been living in 

Christchurch since before 

the earthquakes. 

I have been involved with 

United Future for over 30 

years. 

Duncan Webb – 

Labour 

I choose to live in 

Christchurch because it will 

become the best place for 

my family. 

Labour’s plan – $300 

million for the people of 

Christchurch to choose 

how they progress our 

rebuild, an inquiry into 

EQC, and compensation 

for undue delays by insurers 

– puts Christchurch and 

Cantabrians first. 

As a lawyer helping 

homeowners battle for justice 

I’ve seen what people 

are still up against. 

Six years after the earthquakes, 

our people and our 

city are still floundering; 

that’s scandalous. The job is 

not finished. 

Investing in the city also 

means investing in health. 

Labour will properly fund 

health, especially mental 

health. 

A strong city is one 

where people can get the 

help – whether that is 

surgery, or counselling – 

they need, especially our 

children. 

Let’s get this fixed. 

I’m proud to be part of 

a Labour team that has 

the vision to help make 

Christchurch the great 

place we know it can be for 

the future. 

Doug Hill – The 

Opportunities Party 

At 24, I am the 

youngest candidate in 

The Opportunities Party 

and I am enthusiastic 

about encouraging New 

Zealanders to look forward 

beyond just the next three 

years. 

In order to prosper as a 

nation, we need to place 

our votes to help secure 

a better future for New 

Zealand. 

I grew up in 

Paraparaumu and moved 

to Christchurch to begin 

university in February 

2011, just days before the 

second quake. 

Six-and-a-half years 

later, I have completed 

my Master’s degree in 

Biological Sciences at the 

University of Canterbury. 

TOP’s evidenced-based 

policy resonates with 

my science background, 

and their non-partisan 

approach is a breath of 

fresh air. 

If we want to address 

housing affordability, 

poverty, environmental 

degradation, and our 

mental health crisis in 

earnest, then we need 

comprehensive and 

evidence-based policies to 

address these issues at the 

root. 

TOP has these 

policies, but we need your 

support.

Christchurch Central electorate 

Peter Richardson - 

Green Party 

Kia ora koutou. 

I am standing as the 

Green Party candidate 

for Christchurch Central 

because I believe in the 

Green Party’s principles of 

environmental wisdom, social 

justice and community 

decision-making. 

I am a partner at Linwood 

Law, living in Mairehau 

and married with three 

adult children. I have been 

involved in the campaign 

to protect Canterbury’s waterways 

and aquifers, and 

have built social housing in 

the city. 

In Government the 

Green Party will fight to 

protect our environment, 

lift the most disadvantaged 

out of poverty, and tackle 

the pressing issue of climate 

change. 

We can do these things 

while transforming our 

economy from its present 

low wage, low value, polluting 

model, to a model 

that encourages innovation, 

productivity, high wages 

and clean technology. 

Our policies are fully 

costed and financially 

responsible. 

Please give your party 

vote to the Greens on September 

23. We need a new 

Government with a strong 

green heart. 

Janine Shufflebotham 

- Aotearoa Legalise 

Cannabis Party 

The Aotearoa Legalise 

Cannabis Party has been 

around for 21 years and 

exists to legalise cannabis 

for recreational, spiritual, 

medical and industrial 

purposes. 

To empower people to 

work together for peace and 

true justice and to institute 

a proper and just balance 

between the power of the 

state and the rights and 

Waimakairiri electorate 

dignity of the individual. 

We believe adults have 

the right to freedom of 

choice unless that choice 

harms others or the 

planet. 

Cannabis is the third 

most widely used recreational 

drug in New 

Zealand after alcohol and 

tobacco and the most 

widely used illegal drug in 

a population of more than 

four million. 13.4% of those 

between age of 16 and 64 

use cannabis this ranks us 

the ninth highest cannabis 

consumption in the world. 

Philip Robinson - New 

Zealand First 

My name is Philip 

Robinson and I am your 

Christchurch Central 

representative for the New 

Zealand First political 

party. 

I am a patriotic New 

Zealander, self employed, 

and with many years of life 

experience. 

New Zealand First has 

spent many years in Parliament 

putting New Zealand 

interests first in ownership 

of our assets and sovereignty. 

Control of our future 

by ownership of our rural 

and urban land by New 

Zealand residents is a 

cornerstone of New Zealand 

First policy. As more 

foreign-based ownership 

takes hold and profits are 

repatriated back to foreign 

owners our country will 

struggle to have enough 

local capital for growth. 

As we see now New 

Zealand is becoming debt 

ridden in both government 

and private debt levels. 

An $8 billion Government 

debt 10 years ago has 

expanded to a massive debt 

of around $65 billion even 

though there was extensive 

sell-offs in power generation 

and Air New Zealand 

state assets. 

Matt Doocey – 

National 

Growing up in north 

Christchurch, I know our 

community well. 

I opened an office in 

Belfast last year to be more 

accessible and serve you 

better. 

Living and working in 

the Waimakariri electorate 

with my family, it’s important 

to me to be accessible 

and keep connected to your 

issues and concerns. 

My commitment to you 

is to continue to work hard 

to serve all in the Waimakariri 

electorate to the best of 

my ability. 

National’s management 

of New Zealand’s growing 

economy resulted in direct 

investment into Waimakariri, 

including the Western 

Belfast Bypass and Northern 

Corridor motorways. 

Ten schools in the 

electorate will open new 

modern learning environment 

classroom buildings 

this year. 

National is investing 

more into our public services, 

committing a record 

$16.8 billion for health; 

$11.6 billion for education, 

the largest ever, and our 

$2 billion family incomes 

package will result in 1.3 

million New Zealand families

I’m a serving soldier with 

the New Zealand Defence

about potentially serving 

the country in a different 

way as an MP. 

I’m new to politics 

but I am not new to the 

challenges many Kiwis face 

today. 

My wife and I know how 

hard it is to try and scratch 

together a house deposit 

before being priced out of 

the market. 

I remember how hard 

it was being faced with a 

leukaemia diagnosis with 

a young family and having 

to worry about how my 

wife and I are going to pay 

the mortgage, whether my 

kids were going to miss 

out on everyday things and 

wondering if I will make it 

through. 

These life challenges 

turned my mild interest in 

politics into an unrelenting 

pursuit. 

It is these experiences 

that have also shaped my 

views on the importance of 

equality, social justice and 

providing opportunities for 

everyone to get ahead.

Benjamin Price – 

Conservative Party 

I have lived in the 

Waimakariri electorate for 

the last 20 years and have 

worked in various roles 

over that time – predominantly 

in the IT sector. 

I joined the Conservative 

Party after seeing successive 

governments completely 

(and arrogantly) 

ignore the directives of 

New Zealanders, including 

through citizen initiated 

referenda. 

The unfortunate result 

has been numerous legislative 

and social changes 

that have not only been 

detrimental to the effective 

running of the country, 

but also to the stability and 

coherence of families. 

Governments need to 

be reminded that they 

work for the citizens of the 

country, not the other way 

around.

DESIGN: Christchurch Boys’ High School has opened its new hall. 

Boys’ High opens $4.6m hall 


THE FIRST step in 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School’s $32 million 

upgrade is finished. 

The school has 

unveiled its new $4.66 

million hall, which has 

mezzanine seating for 1350 

students. 

Headmaster Nic Hill 

said the hall was an 

important milestone in the 

school’s overall rebuild. 

“It’s the first thing we’ve 

finished – it was really 

great for the boys,” Mr Hill 

said. 

He said the building is 

“very modern” but has a 

“traditional purpose”. 

“We’re not bound by 

tradition but we’ve got a 

really clear mandate about 

what the boys need from 

the space.” 

During the opening 

assembly, Mr Hill spoke 

to the students about the 

hall representing the next 

136 years in the school’s 

future and the 136 years of 

history behind it. 

“The best story I heard 

was a student sent his dad 

a picture of his freshly 

polished shoes. He’d 

shined them to go into the 

new hall,” he said. 

The three-year facelift, 

which began construction 

last year, includes a new 

block of 37 classrooms and 


a gym. 

Mr Hill said the school 

is aiming to create spaces 

that won’t date. The next 

step is designing the 

classroom block. 

“We’ve spoken with 

architects, as well as asked 

students, parents and the 

board of trustees what 

they want in the design,” 

he said. 

Only a few of the 

school’s original buildings 

are set stay, including 

the Deans’ farm heritage 

buildings and the 

Centennial building. 

The main heritage 

block will be repaired 

throughout the course of 

construction.

Bridge club finally settles down 


AFTER BEING nomadic 

for more than six years, the 

Bishopdale Bridge Club has 

found a home. 

With the opening of the 

Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library 

and Community Centre, the 

club feels like it has finally 

settled down, president Janet 

Stokes said. 

Prior to the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, the 40-yearold 

bridge club has “been 

wandering”, Mrs Stokes said. 

The club left the former 

Bishopdale Library on 

Farrington Ave and moved 

down a few houses into St 

Margaret’s Presbyterian Church 

just before the quakes. 

But it had to move again after 

an arson attack last May caused 

$2 million in damage to the 

church, and the club lost all its 

equipment. 

Since the fire, the club has 

been using space in Riccarton 

provided by the Crockfords 

Bridge Club. 

She said the Riccarton club 

had been most accommodating, 

but it was good for the older 

members, who found it 

difficult to travel, to be back in 

Bishopdale. 

“We’re just thrilled to be back 

in the local Bishopdale area,” she 

said. 

Earlier this year, the club was 

approved a grant of $3000 by the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board to replace its 

equipment. Mrs Stokes said 

the club has been able to 

purchase new specialist tables, 

table cloths and equipment with 

the grant. 

The club’s 70 members, mostly 

aged over 70-years-old, now 

meet regularly in the “fresh”,

new environment. Mrs Stokes 

said it feels good to be part 

of the wider rejuvenation of 

Bishopdale. “The whole area 

is going through a buoyant 

regeneration. It doesn’t feel old 

and tired anymore,” she said.

Teen chases 

the fashion 

dream 

•From page 1 

“It proved that it was a realistic 

dream that I could chase. Really 

opened my eyes to the opportunities.” 

Unfortunately before Jane 

could see any of her favourite 

designers’ shows, she had to fly 

back the next day for exam week 

at school. 

“I found it so hard concentrating 

after that,” she said. 

It was 90-year-old fashion icon 

Iris Apfel who inspired the bright, 

bold jacket design, which was 

made from worn leather and recycled 

material. 

“Iris helped to inspire me and 

push past my boundaries and 

incorporate technique, colour and 

texture all into one jacket,” she 

said. 

Jane put her heart and soul into 

the jacket, which took more than 

80 hours to create. 

“I made each and every one 

of the tassels covering the sleeve 

and hand braided and cut the 

front panels of the jacket,” she 

said. 

Jane said there were many 

hours spent handmaking the tassels 

in front of the television – but 

they were all “worth it.”

Bryndwr church reopens 


THE VILLAGE Presbyterian 

Church in Bryndwr has 

celebrated the opening of its new 

building. 

The building replaced St 

Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, 

which was damaged in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

PERFORMANCE: Burnside 

Primary School pupils during 

the opening celebrations. 

During the ceremony, 

Reverend Martin Stewart said 

the original church built on 

site in 1959 now combines St 

Stephen’s and St Giles. 

Part of the event was also 

acknowledging that it has been 

almost 20 years since the community 

centre was established at 

St Stephen’s. 

“It’s been 20 years since the 

community centre was formalised 

here too,” Rev Stewart said. 

He described the new church 

as “open”, “light”, “welcoming”, 

“comfortable” and not a “traditional” 

church. Burnside Primary 

School pupils performed 

during the short ceremony 

before a celebratory meal. 

NEW HOME: John Simpson, 

Lesley Compton, Johan Dalkie, 

architect Gordon Dalkie and 

minister Martin Stewart.

Residents-only street rejected 

•From page 1 

Staff investigated the rat running 

after receiving complaints 

from residents and found it 

happens mostly in the morning 

between Christchurch Boys’ and 

Christchurch Girls’ High Schools. 

Rochdale Precinct Society 

spokesman David Nicholls said 

while he wasn’t one of the 

residents at the meeting, closing 

the street to the public had been 

something the group was definitely 

behind. 

He said it “would’ve been helpful” 

if the city council listened to 

the suggestion. 

It comes as the Rochdale St 

Precinct Society is taking Bell, 

Lamb and Trotter to the High 

Court to put a stop to a proposed 

“boutique funeral home” on their 

street. 

City council staff also noted 

in their report that Rochdale

Rat runners

and Rochdale 

Sts are

St already has a speed bump, 

pedestrian refuge and three areas 

of narrowing to provide traffic 

calming. 

But as a result of the on-site 

meeting, staff came away with 

several other action points to stop 

motorists taking short cuts. 

Mr Haymes said sign and road 

marking alterations have been

Burnside end football season on high 

• By Andrew King 

BURNSIDE HIGH won the 

Rex Dawkins Cup after an 

undefeated showing at the 

tournament in Palmerston 

North. 

Their perfect eight wins from 

eight games cumulated in a 3-1 

win over Hutt Valley High in 

the final. However, it left coach 

Dave Williams wondering what 

could have been if they had 

made the top national tournament. 

“This did show that we 

should have been at the premier 

tournament because we had 

the team to do well, but unfortunately, 

we did not get the 

chance,” he said. 

The Rex Dawkins Cup is a 

satellite tournament for teams 

‘Perfect’ run for under-15 rugby boys 

• By Andrew King 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ 

High’s under-15 rugby team 

are national champions after 

beating Hamilton Boys’ High 

22-18, giving them a perfect 

season. 

The hard fought win over 

Hamilton was a culmination of 

patience and defence, assistant 

manager Matt Parr said. The 

scores were locked at 15-all in 

the second half. 

“There was a bit of a hairraising 

moment when we had a 

penalty in front but decided to 

not in the top 32 in the country. 

Selection to the premier 

tournament in Napier was done 

on the standings earlier in the 

Connetics first XI season. At 

the time, Burnside (above) were 

outside the top four. They finished 

the season in fourth. 

The highlight aside from 

winning the title, Williams said, 

was only conceding four goals 

but scoring 36. 

go for a quick tap that didn’t pay 

off,” Parr said. 

A late try to Callum Simpson 

was converted and CBHS held 

on to take the title in a season 

where they didn’t lose a single 

game. 

The under-15 side has given 

first XV coach Danny Porte a lot 

to look at during the off season 

with a number of players putting 

their hands up for the top 

team. 

Loosies Lochie Murray and 

Jack Fantham were dynamite all 

week, Parr said. Hooker Clayden

Williams said captain Byron 

Heath was a stand-out player 

and was only two goals shy of 

the golden boot award. Keeper 

Christian Firth also stood out, 

only letting in four goals and 

saving a penalty in the final. 

“Centre mid-fielder Jamie 

Palmer also played amazingly 

well and Milan Clarke did a 

perfect job as our centre back,” 

he said.

as is All Blacks coach Steve 

Hansen’s son Ollie on the 

wing. 

Josh Taula will also be on 

Porte’s radar, measuring in at a 

whopping 204cm at the age of 

15. 

On top of that, the starting 

front row weighs in at about 

350kg, making them a force to 

be reckoned with, Parr said. 

“Credit really has to go to 

head coach Phil McKay and 

Graham Moody who have been 

with the team for the past two 

years,” Parr said.

BUTTERFLIED LAMB LEG 

WITH ROSEMARY AND 

GARLIC 

Ingredients 

1 bunch Flat leaf (Italian) parsley 

1 bunch Fresh mint 

2 medium Red onions, sliced 

1 Butterflied boneless leg of 

lamb, approx. 150-200g per 

person 

3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped 

3 Tbsp Chopped rosemary 

2 Tbsp Olive oil 

1 cup White wine 

Directions 

ICEBERG LETTUCE, 

WALNUT AND BLUE 

CHEESE SALAD 

Ingredients 

1 Iceberg lettuce 

1 Walnuts, toasted 

1 Blue cheese 

1 Walnut oil 

1 Cider vinegar 

Directions 

Remove the outer leaves of a 

small iceberg lettuce. Cut the 

head into four wedges. 

Toast some walnuts. 

Crumble some good blue 

cheese and, using the white bits 

from the outer edges. 

Make a creamy dressing by 

blending them with walnut oil 

and a little cider vinegar (olive 

oil is fine if you don’t have 

walnut). 

Sprinkle the walnuts and the 

blue cheese crumbs over the 

crisp lettuce wedges and spoon 

over the dressing. 

Preheat oven to 220 deg C. 

In a roasting tray, lay out the 

parsley and mint, then add the 

sliced onions. 

Place the butterflied lamb leg 

on top of the onions, fat side up 

(there should be a thin layer of 

fat on one side). 

Score the lamb on the side 

with the fat in large diagonal 

shapes. 

Sprinkle over a large pinch of 

sea salt, and crack over plenty of 

black pepper. 

Rub the garlic into the slits 

where you’ve scored it, then 

sprinkle over the rosemary and 

rub that in too. Drizzle over the 

olive oil and rub into the skin. 

Place the lamb on a high rack 

in the oven and grill for 20- 

25min (depending on its size) 

until the skin crisps and goes 

golden. 

Remove from oven and add 

wine to the tray. 

Return the lamb to the oven, 

but move it down from the top 

shelf to the centre of the oven. 

Roast for a further 20min. 

Remove from oven, rest for 

5-10min, then slice into thick 

strips. Serve on a plate of fresh 

parsley and sprinkle with 

pomegranate seeds. Use the pan 

juices and onion to make a gravy 

if you wish.

Care Services 

Candles can cause chaos 

• By Mark Thomas – 

specialist fire investigator 

I SUPPOSE in spring you 

can expect some extremes 

of weather, so the heavy 

rain last weekend, followed 

by a frost and then a 

nor’wester shouldn’t be a 

surprise. 

Most people will have 

seen the news about the 

whole house slipping away 

over in Charteris Bay but 

less will be aware that 

the same day a leak in a 

commercial building in 

Mandeville St caused a 

large enough build-up of 

water for portions of the 

ceiling to collapse. 

In these circumstances 

fire crews can only do so 

much, using tarpaulins to 

either direct water away or 

to protect contents. 

THen those affected must 

start the long process of 

repair. 

A couple of weeks ago I 

mentioned the bad practice 

of putting combustible 

materials on a stove top. 

You just never know when 

an element might be on, 

just turned off or turned 

on while the article is 

there. 

THis happened again 

on Monday evening in 

Percival St. This time 

a plastic coffee maker 

We design your jewelery unique 

to your style and personality. 

was involved. Only 

smoke damage resulted. 

Unfortunately ‘only 

smoke damage’ stinks and 

continues to for days, or 

even weeks. 

Finally one of my pet 

hates – candles, used for 

ambience. A fire last week 

at Rapaki was the result 

of this practice where a 

bath mat caught on fire. 

So did the plastic bath. 

Confusion ensued. 

Finally the taps were 

turned on causing water 

to flow through the hole in 

the bath to the level below 

via a light fitting. All 

because of candles. Please 

don’t. 

We offer a resize and redesign service. 

Golden Healthcare Group’s 

position at the forefront of 

Canterbury’s residential care 

services is cemented by a 

state-of-the-art facility being 

developed at Lady Wigram 

Retirement Village providing 

hotel-style accommodation 

for those residents who enjoy 

being part of a vibrant, social 

community. 

One of the villas built during 

the first stage of construction 

has been converted to 

accommodate social events 

such as bowls, happy hours, high teas and 

television viewing of sports fixtures. 

Once the project is complete, it will 

comprise 101 villas, 73 apartments, and 

100 care beds. The proposed facilities will 

include a rest home, hospital, and dementia 

facilities, and permanent amenities such 

as a community centre, Bowling Green, 

swimming and spa pools, a gym, a theatre, 

a library, and a hairdressing salon. 

The villas will be offered in a 

combination of two and three bedrooms 

whereas apartment residents will have a 

choice between one and two bedrooms. 

The Lady Wigram Retirement Village is 

a short stroll from The Landing, the central 

retail hub of the Wigram Skies subdivision, 

and only a short drive to Hornby Mall, the 

Hornby Working Men’s Club and the city. 

Rest home care is provided in the Golden 

Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest 

Home, both of which also encompass 

retirement villages. Brookhaven also 

has a dementia care unit along with the 

dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and 

Somerfield rest homes. Furthermore, 

the Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated 

dementia wing, but the Hoon Hay House 

on the same site specialises in mental 

health. 

Within the facilities, there are plenty 

of opportunities to create unique 

environments for differing requirements 

for residents. Nursing care is provided 

by registered nurses, and health is well 

monitored. An activities co-ordinator 

ensures residents will never be bored and 

they participate in programmed activities, 

games, sing-alongs with performances by 

visiting entertainers, library book exchange 

and exercise programmes. The group has 

four vans to utilise for residents outings. 

Golden Healthcare employs 260 at its 

facilities which care for about 350 residents. 

All staff are highly trained, experienced, 

and qualified in their roles. 

Respite care is also provided at all 

facilities.

Methyl B-12 

Research supports 

eye health 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50 per cent of older 

adults and as many as 25 per cent of younger adults are deficient 

in vitamin B12. 

B12 is essential for energy production, 

cell health, regulation of mood and 

sleep cycles, nerve health and repair and 

prevention of homocysteine - a serious 

cardiovascular risk factor that is known 

to cause damage and plaque in the blood 

vessels. It can also increase the chances 

of a stroke. Harvard researchers found 

a 34 per cent decrease risk of vision loss 

in a study of participants aged 40+ who 

supplemented with B12. Another study 

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in 

subjects in their 60s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

seems to be due to our body’s inability 

to absorb it as we age, as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication and other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. 

The good news is B12 in the form of 

Methylcobalamin sublingual tablets that 

are dissolved in the mouth and thru 

bypassing the digestive tract have been 

shown to effectively raise B12 levels in the 

body.

- WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP! - 

Nutritional researchers have discovered a 

range of nutrients that are essential for eye 

health. Some of the most essential nutrients 

that have been shown to protect and even 

improve eye function are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral that is low 

in N.Z. soils and therefore in many of 

our foods. Researchers believe selenium 

may help prevent cataracts, macular 

degeneration (the leading cause of impaired 

vision in older people) and may also 

improve dry eyes and general eye health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage 

of the population are low in. Zinc has been 

shown to help protect the eyes from the 

damaging effects of light as well as slow 

vision loss due to macular degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have 

potent antioxidant ability and help protect 

the eyes from damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing 

nutrients that have been shown in landmark 

research to not only provide potent eye 

protection but may even help reverse 

some of the signs of age-related macular 

degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent 

antioxidants may help protect the lens and 

retina from damage and reduce the risk of 

cataracts. They also may help improve blood 

supply to the eye, strengthen the small 

capillaries of the eye and may help improve 

night vision, may alleviate many eye

ailments including eye fatigue that may be 

caused by reading, driving and computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye 

pressure and reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential 

for correct eye function. It may also have a 

detoxifying affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, 

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. 

It provides many nutrients, is rich in 

oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that 

are potent antioxidants that may protect 

eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic 

amount should provide comprehensive eye 

protection, may slow and possibly even help 

reverse eye damage that could lead to loss 

of vision. All these nutrients are available 

in an economical one a day easy to swallow

RYMAN HEALTHCARE 

A brand new kitchen is a key feature of the refurbished townhouses 

Major refurbishments enhancing 

retirement village townhouses 

Already widely recognised as a 

beautifully appointed retirement 

village in Papanui, near Northlands 

mall, the Ngaio Marsh Retirement 

Village, which is part of the Ryman 

Healthcare group, is currently 

undergoing major refurbishments to 

its townhouses. A full refurbishment 

of the village centre will also be 

carried out in 2018. 

While the practice has been 

for each of the one, two and 

three-bedroom townhouses to be 

redecorated as residents have moved 

out, now they are having more 

substantial renovation work done. 

When a townhouse is vacated, 

a brand-new kitchen with stone 

bench-top, dishwasher and waste 

disposal unit will be installed, 

the bathroom will be upgraded 

with tiled flooring and underfloor 

heating, and a second toilet added 

where possible. 

A heat pump and double-glazing 

will provide comfort and warmth 

for residents, while most of the 

townhouses will also have brandnew 

carpets and drapes fitted. 

The décor of the townhouses is 

also being updated, with soft neutral 

tones creating an elegant, restful 

environment. 

Ngaio Marsh has two of these 

refurbished townhouses currently 

available for retired people who 

would like to enjoy the benefits of 

independent living in this lovely, 

resort-style village. 

There are numerous advantages 

to retirement living at Ngaio Marsh, 

with a key one being the guarantee 

of fixed weekly fees*. The weekly fee 

new residents pay when they move 

into a townhouse remains the same 

for the duration of their time in that 

townhouse.* 

While enjoying the same fully 

independent lifestyle they have 

always had, townhouse residents 

can participate in any of the village 

activities on offer and use the leisure 

facilities whenever they choose 

to. Indoor and outdoor bowls, 

petanque, croquet, pool, a gym, 

swimming pool and spa pool, a 

well-stocked library, a shop, and hair 

salon are all available for them. 

They can take part in the 

exclusive Ryman Triple A Exercise 

Programme, and also go out on the 

regular shopping trips and outings 

in the village van, all of which 

means they have the benefit of 

independent living, combined with 

the companionship of their fellow 

residents when they wish. 

A sense of security is provided 

with 24-hour emergency call alarms 

ensuring there is always help on 

hand if needed, they can potter in 

the garden outside their townhouse, 

and family members can visit 

whenever they like. 

Ngaio Marsh runs a regular 

activities programme, which 

includes guest speakers, who 

come from a range of professional 

groups and private and government 

organisations to provide interesting 

and stimulating talks for the 

residents. 

There is also a wide variety of 

musical entertainment, which is 

always popular. Performers include 

an NZSO chamber group, young 

singers from the Dame Malvina 

Major Foundation, which Ryman 

sponsors, and individual musicians 

singing and playing guitar. 

In addition to all these benefits, 

there is the Ryman Difference, 

which further sets Ngaio Marsh 

apart. This includes the fixed weekly 

fee*, which stops immediately when 

the townhouse is vacated, a 90-day 

money-back guarantee* and four 

hours of house cleaning at no cost 

for residents leaving their home and 

moving into Ngaio Marsh. 

Next year, the village centre will 

come under the refurbishment 

spotlight. The project will include 

a new movie theatre, extension 

and upgrading of the library, the 

hair salon being fully refurbished, 

upgrading of the dining room and 

a new cafe where baristas will make 

the coffee.

Joan and Ernie Selenger relaxing in their townhouse 

“The whole village 

has great people” 

Ernie and Joan Selinger moved 

into their Ngaio Marsh townhouse in 

March 2016, and couldn’t be happier 

with their home and lifestyle. 

Joan, who was a nurse throughout 

her working life, both in New 

Zealand and in her husband’s home 

country of Canada, says when she 

and Ernie felt ready to move in to a 

retirement village they looked round 

a few places, including Ngaio Marsh. 

They talked to sales advisor Marie 

Kyle-Stevenson, who showed them 

a townhouse that was available, and 

that was it – an instant decision to 

move in. 

“It had nice views of the gardens, 

and we liked that,” Ernie says. 

He says what they especially enjoy 

about living at Ngaio Marsh is the 

choice of activities. 

“You can be as active as you want 

to be. And the management are very 

helpful – they encourage you to get 

involved in things.” 

Ernie goes to the gym most 

days, spending 40-50 minutes on 

the rowing machine, and using the 

swimming pool and spa as well. 

Not so much a “gym bunny”, Joan 

says, she started a 500 Club, with 22 

members now enjoying the popular 

card game every Wednesday. 

She also likes gardening and has 

planted a veggie patch outside their 

home. 

An avid reader, Ernie enjoys 

visiting the library, and is very 

impressed with the services of 

librarian resident Dawn Marshall, 

who is in her 90s. 

Both Joan and Ernie thoroughly 

enjoy their neighbours, too. 

“It’s a great neighbourhood,” Ernie 

says. “The whole village has great 

people – they have a great sense of 

humour, and we’re all here for the 

same reason.” 

And as Joan says, “The most 

important thing is people should 

move into the retirement village 

while they are still able to enjoy the 

lifestyle. The resthome and the care 

are all there if they need it later.” 

Townhouses provide independence and easy maintenance

HEALTH & AWARENESS 


Anxiety and breathing 

– are they related? 

When good breathing goes bad 

Have you experienced any of these 

breathing difficulty symptoms? 

• Disturbed sleep 

• Erratic heartbeats* 

• Feeling anxious and uptight 

• Upset gut/nausea 

• Chest pains* 

• Shattered confidence 

• Tired all the time 

• Achy muscles and joints 

• Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out 

• Irritability or hypervigilance 

• Frequent yawning and sighing 

• Breathing discomfort* 

• Pins and needles 

• Feelings of ‘air hunger’ 

*Check with your doctor if you experience 

these symptoms. 

These questions are asked on 

the website www.BradCliff.com. 

BradCliff was started by North Island 

physiotherapists Dinah Bradley and 

Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise in 

hyperventilation and anxiety treatment. 

Their website notes one in 10 people 

experience some form of breathing pattern 

disorder or chronic over breathing at some 

time in their lives, resulting in a range 

of disturbing or frightening symptoms 

puzzling to you and your doctor. 

You feel unwell because of overbreathing, 

and overbreathing makes you feel unwell. 

A vicious cycle is established, which is a 

major stress all by itself. This is experienced 

currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje 

van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio. 

As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast 

and in the upper chest when we are in danger 

and fight or flight is needed. We know all 

about that here, due to the earthquakes. 

Normally, once the danger is gone, our 

breathing should restore itself within a 

couple of days. We would then be using the 

diaphragm for our normal nonstressed 

breathing. We have been having a hard 

time restoring our breathing pattern 

here in Canterbury because every time 

our body tried to achieve that, the next 

aftershock came rolling in. Even though the 

aftershocks have significantly diminished, 

some people’s fight or flight mode 

breathing has become chronic, or habitual, 

Ietje says. And, as she points out, using the 

wrong muscles for breathing means these 

overworked muscles cause headaches, neck 

pain and jaw pain. 

With fast upper chest breathing, sighing 

and yawning, the resulting disturbance 

of our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels 

can give us the feeling we are not able to 

control our own body. One moment you 

are feeling fine, next moment your chest 

feels tight, you feel out of breath, your 

heart beats erratically and you may even 

experience dizziness and/or tingling. 

Very scary if you do not understand what 

is happening. No wonder this causes 

anxiety. Not being the boss over our own 

body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the 

faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on. 

The BradCliff physiotherapists have 

established a national network of 

practitioners that regularly train together 

and can help you overcome this problem. 

Physical Sense is part of that network. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample 

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

New hope for patients 

suffering from MS, 

strokes or spinal injuries 

For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental 

health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment 

that brings fast, and often immediate results. 

Special offer for SepTeMBer - if 

you have suffered a stroke, spinal injury 

or have MS, then this article is for you. 

A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan 

established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch 

in 1993. As she continued her research and medical 

practice, she discovered a reflexology network on 

the human body, an exciting new discovery that 

became the foundation of her new treatment – 

acupuncture without needles. 

Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument 

to stimulate the reflexology points on the face 

or other parts of the body. When the point is 

stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the 

repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan 

explains, the treatment increases energy, which 

boosts the body’s healing system. 

The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but 

that is a slow process. In addition, many people will 

start to use their injured part, for example a knee 

or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore 

prolonging the injury and even causing chronic 

pain. 

With her powerful treatment, results are produced 

very quickly – even instantly. 

She likens it to the differences between the 

power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane 

– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket – 

reflexology network. 

It brings fast results because it is a very precise 

treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people 

of all ages with many different types of pain in all 

parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS, 

and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects. 

Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing 

low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s 

treatment. 

Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant 

improvement for muscle weakness and numbness 

caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke 

and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan 

reflexology to see lots of instant results videos. 

Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology 

Network, which introduces the treatment and 

explains how it works. Her website, www. 

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment 

videos, where people who have had the treatment 

speak about the fast relief it has brought them. 

Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10 

patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury 

half price for their rehabb. Phone 323 4168,
