Groynes on Sunday. Her sister Poppy and friend Lilly are helping get the salmon eggs 

out. The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust donated hundreds of salmon which were 

released into the four lakes at The Groynes. Volunteers were there to show children how 

to catch a fish, clean it and prepare it for cooking.

ST BEDE’S College will get its 

$60 million revamp. 

Resource consent has been 

granted for the project which will 

start next year. 

Work includes replacing the 

catholic school’s chapel and 

Grimes Block classrooms, as well 

as earthquake strengthening and 

extending its performing arts 

centre. 

The college also has plans to 

build a brand new 750m 2 sports 

pavilion and gym, adjacent to the 

existing hockey field. 

But because the school is a 

state integrated catholic school, 

the Ministry of Education is not 

funding the work. 

The chapel will cost $3.5 million 

and its construction will be 

the first to begin next year. 

The St Bede’s Old Boy’s Association 

is rallying to raise $1.5 

million, so the balance will be 

met by a $1 million grant from 

the Society of Mary and $1 million 

from the school’s board of 

proprietors insurance. 

The college has been without a 

chapel since 2012, converting an 

old science building for masses. 

The chapel was repaired following 

the September 4, 2010, 

earthquake but was ultimately 

claimed by the February 22, 2011, 

earthquakes after being deemed 

irreparable. 

“The proposed chapel has a 

footprint of 425m 2 (excluding the 

covered porch area) and a first 

floor gallery area. It will provide 

seating for up to 300 people,” the 

plan submitted to the city council 

said. 

The modern building has been 

designed by architects Wilkie 

and Bruce to mirror the past but 

also look to the future. 

Expansions to the performing 

arts centre, which will be beside 

the new chapel, includes a new 

foyer and toilet area. 

It will take up part of the space 

the assembly hall had occupied 

before it was demolished. The rest 

of that space will be taken up by 

the new chapel.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News................................3, 6-9 

THE EARTHQUAKE took 

care of a lot of old and historic 

buildings, and St Bede’s College 

wasn’t spared either. 

As we reveal today on page 1, 

resource consent has been granted 

for the school’s $60 million 

revamp. It will start next year and 

will give the school a very modern 

look. 

Some of the old buildings that 

weren’t affected by the quake will 

stay so the connection to the past 

will remain. 

A lot of work for builders, roofers, 

carpet layers, plumbers . . . 

and that can’t be bad for the local 

economy. 

Marist Albion’s Daniel Fransen 

was named men’s sevens player of 

the year at the recent Canterbury 

rugby awards evening (see page 

14). Fransen had an outstanding 

season with the Canterbury side, 

scoring 12 tries and also kicking 

goals.

News 

Fletcher backs Cranford St businesses 

Opposition to 

Northern Arterial 

plan is building 


CONSTRUCTION giant 

Fletcher Building has mirrored 

the concerns of small businesses 

on Cranford St over Northern 

Arterial plans. 

Last month Nor’West News 

revealed Small World Preschool 

and Nursery and the Cranford 

Ale House fear they will have to 

shut their doors if designs for the 

Northern Arterial go ahead as 

currently planned. 

All on-street parking will 

be lost when cycleways are put 

in on either side of the road 

between McFaddens Rd and the 

rural zone. 

Fletcher Building, which owns 

PlaceMakers and Mico Plumbing 

on Cranford St, is worried 

about the current designs affecting 

its businesses. 

In a statement, Fletcher Building 

said it participated in the 

public submission process with 

the city council and took the 

previous plan to the Environment 

Court last year. 

“We signed-off on an agreed 

plan through an Environment 

BUSINESS WOES: Andrew Norton and Sue and Keith 

Wayman believe their Cranford St businesses will be badly 

affected by the city council’s Northern Arterial plan.

Court mediation process.” 

But it said a recent version of 

the plan it had received includes 

a variation regarding parking. 

“We are looking to work 

constructively with the city 

council to ensure a satisfactory 

outcome.” 

Fletcher Building would not 

say if it will take the city council 

back to court if the initial 

designs stamped by the Environment 

Court were not followed. 

City council acting manager 

planning, delivery and transport 

Mike Jacobson said the city 

council is investigating whether 

or not it is bound to the design 

set by the court. 

“The city council will respond 

to the concerns raised when it 

has completed its assessment 

and met with the affected parties,” 

he said. 

Designs will be finalised by 

Christmas, Mr Jacobson said. 

Owner of Small World Preschool 

and Nursery, Keith Wayman, 

said he received a phone 

call last week from Fletcher 

Building asking how it could 

help make sure on-street parking 

was kept. 

“Fletcher is not going to sit by 

and watch its two businesses be 

destroyed,” Mr Wayman said. 

Cranford Ale House owner 

Andrew Norton is meeting with 

his lawyer and has been in contact 

with Christchurch Central 

MP and former lawyer Duncan 

Webb. 

Mr Wayman said the preschool 

could not afford a lawyer 

of its own, as it had already spent 

“a few thousand” dollars getting 

U-turning bays on Cranford 

St included in the Northern 

Arterial design.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

NO CROSSING 

Farrington Ave, Bishopdale, 

will not get a pedestrian 

crossing after a request to the 

city council. City council staff 

surveyed the area and found, on 

average, there were two or three 

pedestrians crossing between 

Isleworth Rd and Vauxhall St 

per hour. Staff said that was a 

low rate compared to the rest of 

the city. 

BURNSIDE BARBECUE 

The barbecue at Burnside Park, 

donated to the city council by 

the Wigram Lions Club, has 

been installed and the shelter is 

complete. The power connection 

is the next step in the process, 

with community access to 

the barbecue planned for the 

summer season. 

PUPIL’S INVENTION WINS 

St Patrick’s School pupil 

Amanda MacArthur won a $100

There were more than 790 

entries from across the country

Webb’s first day at 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VET 

NURSE AT McMASTER & HEAP 

Its early morning and the HOSPITAL nurse is 

already hard at work, caring for her sometimes 

numerous & varied hospital patients who have 

stayed the night. 

She cuddles & chats away to them 

reassuringly as if they were her own! 

Some soiled patients are sponge bathed, 

while other patients are syringe fed. She checks, 

untwists and flushes IV catheters, administers 

morning medications, fresh food & clean 

bedding is lovingly placed! All observations are 

recorded ready for the “Vet rounds”, just as in a 

hospital! 

The Vets at McMaster & Heap rely heavily on 

the expertise and thoroughness of our nurses 

to inform us with regards to the patients in 

her care. The vets check over their patients, 

authorize blood tests or radiographs, change 

medication or nutrition plans and update the 

owners. 

Then its back to the hospital nurse to care 

for the needs of these patients over the course 

of the day, updating the vet, speaking to the 

family members involved and organizing 

visiting times. Excellent time management skills 

are required to triage the sick arrivals through 

the day and care for the already sick and injured. 

Note taking and recording of medications given 

is of utmost importance. 

Meanwhile the doors have opened & the 

RECEPTION nurse is cheerfully assisting the 

receptionist, greeting a continuous stream 

of pets and their owners arriving for today’s 

appointments & procedures! 

She expertly multi tasks while answering the 

relentlessly ringing phones-today she will take 

a huge number of calls with a wide variety of 

questions. She must use her problem solving 

skills to know when it is OK for a patient to 

come in later in the day, or if in fact it may 

require a much more urgent consult time. 

The SURGICAL nurse gets ready for her 

busy day ahead. Patients start arriving at 8am 

for admittance and some days we have 4 

vets operating and a list of over 15 surgical 

procedures to work through. Every nurse has a 

vet assigned to them to allow continuity of care. 

She will talk kindly & soothingly to each 

patient while efficiently placing IV catheters 

& obtain blood and urine samples to run 

diagnostic tests for the vet. She then calculates 

and administers her patients pre anaesthetic 

medications as instructed. 

Anaesthetic machines must then be checked 

& the surgical room fully equipped for the 

variety of today’s procedures! 

Once everything is ready, she will assist the 

vet in the patients induction and intubation, 

before swiftly attaching all monitoring 

equipment, as well as manual checks. Once 

happy the patient is stable, she sterile preps the 

Open 7 days 

Cnr Hoon Hay & Coppell place 

phone 338 2534, Fax 339 8624 

e. mcmasterandheap@yahoo.co.nz 

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz 

patients surgical site. She closely monitors the 

patient through the entire procedure, alerting 

the vet to any subtle changes in the patients 

anaesthetic depth, blood pressure and more. 

She carefully moves the patient over to a 

cosy recovery bed, where the hospital nurse is 

waiting to continue the post operative care. 

Evening consults are arriving & reception is a 

hype of activity. Phones are ringing constantly 

& owners are arriving to pick up their animals 

from surgery & hospital. 

The reception nurse expertly talks to owners 

experiencing a wide range of emotions, from 

extreme sadness, stress, anxiety, to those who 

are excited or just plain relieved to be able to 

see their furry friend once more. She goes over 

the large variety of discharge information that 

the vets & nurses have carefully put aside for 

their patients. 

The hospital nurse kindly talks to worried 

owners who are visiting their pets and updates 

them on the vets plan for overnight care. 

She carries out her final rounds and ensures 

everyone gets a cuddle goodnight! 

She assists the vet in preparing any extremely 

unwell patients that require transfer to the after 

hours clinic. 

At 7pm the last consult has finished, and 

the doors are closed! The nurses may still 

be buzzing around for another hour or so, 

depending on today’s work load. Although 

sometimes they are totally exhausted (& 

covered in various unidentified stains & smells!) 

they go home to their own pets with a big 

smile on their face. They know each day they 

assist the vets in making a huge difference to 

animals lives by putting 100% of time, love, care 

& knowledge to ensure each furry patient and 

it’s owner has had the best veterinary service 

and care possible!! 

McMaster & Heap 

New Christchurch 

Central MP Duncan 

Webb may be busy 

finding his way around 

his new office in 

Wellington but the 

former lawyer has 

issues he wants to 

tackle in his electorate 

I am very proud and excited to be 

the new member of parliament for 

Christchurch Central. 

The city has huge opportunities ahead 

of it and I am looking forward to being 

part of seizing them. 

I think there are three simple things 

we need to keep in mind when ensuring 

that the city moves in the right direction: 

People, homes, and incomes – and they 

are all closely related. 

We want to make sure that all of our 

neighbourhoods and communities are 

great places to live. 

This will mean working at every level to 

ensure they are safe and able to be enjoyed 

by everyone. 

Some things need to be addressed by 

central Government – like providing a 

comprehensive solution for those who are 

without a home of any kind. 

Others will require working with 

the city council – like ensuring that 

community hubs and shopping 

centres are attractive, accessible and 

usable. 

Of course in the central city, we need 

OPENING 

NIGHT! 

saT 21 sT OcTObEr 

7Pm sTarT 

to complete the people-focussed facilities 

like the library and the metro sports 

facility. 

Homes are a really significant issue 

in Christchurch, though perhaps in a 

different kind of way than elsewhere. 

One thing I would love to see and 

encourage is genuinely affordable homes 

within the inner city for a mix of young 

people, families and older people. 

That will be essential to making the city 

vibrant and successful. 

Great public parks, spaces and facilities 

will assist with this – as will the new retail 

and hospitality projects.

the Beehive 

Our houses need to be of a 

good quality. The first earthquake 

was now more than seven 

years ago, but many houses 

are not repaired, or have been 

repaired poorly. 

I know how stressful this can 

be, so I look forward to advocating 

for a prompt settlement of 

outstanding EQC and insurance 

claims and defective repairs 

being addressed properly. 

Connected to this is ensuring 

that the city is a great place to 

work and do business. We need 

to do this by ensuring that our 

city has great infrastructure, 

and that the people who live 

here have the knowledge and 

skills needed. 

This will be important to 

make sure we have jobs and 

prosperous businesses that provide 

a good income to everyone. 

I know it’s going to be a huge 

challenge being the MP for 

Christchurch Central, and I am 

really looking forward to it. 

I am available to discuss any 

issues that you may be having 

– just email me at Duncan.

FIRST DAY: Duncan Webb takes a selfie at his first 

Parliamentary briefing after taking a taxi to the Beehive on a 

typical Wellington day (right). 

Readers respond to the 

news Chaneys Corner 

(above) is getting an 

upgrade after 19 fatal 

accidents over a six-year 

period 

Jeff Bell – The corner has 

been like that since the motorway 

went through back in late 1969- 

70. The railway line has taken a 

few lives as well. I know three 

people that have died on it. 

Kate Marshall – About time! 

I’ve had a few close calls when 

people don’t know how an intersection 

with one stop and one 

giveway sign works. 

Yvonne Pender – Add to 

that the number of people that 

get distracted with the so called 

art work. How many of the accidents 

relate to that. 

Wal Thomas – And I hope 

they remove those dodgy lights at 

the Smiths motorway off ramp. 

Pamela Neil – Should have 

been years ago . . . bit late for 

those families now. 

Theresa Walsh – Hopefully 

they will take into account my 

submission for a turning lane for 

traffic coming down Marshland 

Rd from Kaiapoi into Spencerville 

Rd. It would also help the 

businesses there. 

Readers respond to 

the news that Fendalton 

residents are getting a new 

pump station to return the 

water supply to pre-quake 

levels 

Jake Ranginui – Why are 

so many people complaining? 

Boohoo out east blah blah . . . 

they can’t fix everything at once. 

It isn’t the labour or money. 

Someone is getting their water 

fixed to pre-quake standards. We 

should celebrate it. The pump 

stations in the east were repaired 

well before this happened, just as 

an example. 

Dawn Hanara – The northwest 

of Christchurch had a D 

grading for water quality thanks 

to the 22 shallow bores in the 

area. Everyone should have clean, 

safe drinking water, no matter 

the area. 

Cath Milio – Meanwhile, on 

the east side, sick of sewerage 

lapping round our ankles every 

time the river bursts its banks. 

It’s happened every year since 

the quake, three times in one 

year. As people are flooded in, 

watching faeces and toilet paper 

float past, or bailing it out of their 

lounges, the other side of town 

will be happily enjoying their 

new water supply.

INITIAL DESIGNS for the third 

southbound lane across the 

Waimakariri River have been 

released. 

The designs went before the 

city council’s greater Christchurch 

partnership committee last 

Friday after the lane received the 

final seal of approval by Environment 

Canterbury. 

It has been designed for high 

occupancy vehicles only and 

includes a clip-on cycleway in a 

bid to reduce morning congestion 

of motorists from North 

Canterbury entering the city. 

But when releasing the images 

to Nor’West News a New Zealand 

Transport Agency spokeswoman 

said the drawings have not been 

finalised, they are only conceptual 

designs. 

Detailed designs are now being 

completed. 

Work is set to be done in conjunction 

with current construction 

on the Northern Corridor to 

reduce costs from $34 million to 

$20 million. 

However, the lane has been a 

contentious issue for residents in 

Papanui, Belfast and St Albans 

who fear it will only increase 

congestion in the suburbs. 

On the residents’ behalf, the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has been staunchly opposed 

to the lane. 

It tried and failed several times 

to put a stop to the lane and 

encourage investigations into 

light rail. 

CONCEPT: 

The third 

southbound 

lane 

over the 

Waimakariri 

River 

includes 

a high 

occupany 

vehicle 

lane and 

cycleway. 

Bridge concept drawings released 

After ECan approved the plan, 

the board posted on its Papanui- 

Innes Community Board Facebook 

page: “Sorry, we tried.” 

But on the other side of the 

bridge, residents from North 

Canterbury were overwhelmingly 

supportive of the lane in 

public submissions to ECan. 

Of the 177 submissions received, 

86.5 per cent supported 

the proposal. 

“It’s a good result for commuters 

who use the bridge heading 

into the city,” acting Waimakariri 

Mayor Neville Atkinson said. 

Mr Atkinson said improvements 

that ease motorway 

congestion will further enhance 

Waimakariri as a location for 

residential and business opportunities. 

Papanui hip hop crew 

step up to battle world 


A PAPANUI hip-hop dance 

group has flown to the 

Netherlands to compete against 

the best in the business. 

Aperture from Zion Dance 

Studios landed in Amsterdam 

on Friday where they will represent 

New Zealand in the Hip 

Hop Unite world championships. 

The group’s members, Nekholas 

Thompson, Logan Rielly, 

George Jacobs-Lawson, Zak 

Tait, Manaia Davies, Tessa Holley, 

Meg Lancaster and Justice 

Setefano, are all aged between 

12 and 17-years-old. 

The championships start on 

Thursday with an introduction 

and workshop, followed by the 

heats on Friday and semi-finals 

and finals on Saturday. 

The group will go up against 

stiff competition with squads 

from 16 countries around the 

world set to compete. 

Aperture won its spot in the 

world championships after 

taking out the junior section at 

the Hip Hop Unite NZ national 

championships in Wellington. 

Since winning their place, 

the group has been squeezing 

in time to fundraise on top of 

school work and daily training 

sessions. They have held pizza 

nights, variety concerts, workshops, 

hosted KidsFest events 

and sold cheese rolls and raffle 

tickets to raise enough money 

for the plane tickets and accommodation. 

Zion Dance Studios mega 

dance crew also earned a place 

in the world championships but 

were unable to attend due to 

financial difficulties. 

DANCE: 

Aperture is in 

Amsterdam

championships 

which start on

KEYSTONE: The 

Neighbourhood 

Trust in Mairehau 

has thanked the 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board for an 

increase in its 

funding. 

Neighbourhood Trust 

grateful for funding hike 

A MAIREHAU trust has applauded the 

Papanui-Innes Community Board for 

increasing its grant by almost $15,000 

a year in spite of a cut to the board’s 

funding pot. 

Neighbourhood Trust manager 

Ginny Larsen thanked the board for the 

money which was approved as part of 

the strengthening communities grant 

programme. 

The organisation received $67,499 per 

year for the next three years compared to 

$53,000 for the previous two. 

However, the increase comes as the 

board has been hit with an $85,000 cutback 

from its 2015-16 funding pool. 

“I know you had some difficult decisions 

to make and more limited funds 

than usual, so we are very grateful for 

these funds and feel humbled by this decision,” 

Ms Larsen said. 

The money will go towards offering 

“consistent, community-led work”, she 

said. 

That includes programmes and support 

for older residents and families, running 

the Mairehau newsletter, exercise classes, 

community days, free English as a second 

language classes, and inclusive holiday 

programmes for children with disabilities. 

“Having three-year funding means we 

can plan for the future. It is energising, 

empowering and results in less time spent 

in applying for funds and more time 

making things happen,” Ms Larsen said. 

ADVERTORIAL 

Place your feet in the 

hands of the professionals 

For many people, the skills of a 

podiatrist may be something they 

think they will never need to access. 

In fact, these health professionals 

provide a range of valuable services 

for that very hard-working part of our 

body – our feet, which can be subject 

to a number of health conditions and 

discomfort issues. 

As Ian Graham of the Papanui Foot 

Clinic explains: “Podiatrists treat 

foot and ankle problems in several 

different ways. This includes general 

maintenance such as cutting toe 

nails and removing corns and hard 

callouses.” 

Having a pedicure done in the clean, 

sterile environment of the podiatry 

clinic is safer than in a mall-based nail 

clinic, Ian advises, as the sharing of 

nail polishes, for example, can lead to 

cross infections in the nails. 

As the weather warms up and we 

swap our closed-in winter footwear 

for strappy sandals and open-toed 

shoes, Ian suggests it is an ideal 

time to have any hard skin that has 

developed on the toes and back of the 

heels removed, giving feet a smooth, 

attractive appearance. 

Ingrowing toenails, which can cause 

pain and discomfort, are easily treated 

at the Papanui Foot Clinic by Ian and 

his fellow podiatrist Anna Brown. 

Ian specialises in ingrowing toenail 

surgery to cure the problem. 

The ageing process also affects our 

feet, as it does other parts of the body, 

and they can start to deteriorate. 

Ill-fitting shoes that press on the 

wrong areas can make this worse. The 

Papanui Foot Clinic podiatrists can 

help by explaining to patients how the 

foot functions and moves, and treating 

problems such as fallen and collapsing 

arches. 

They also offer treatment 

for diabetics, who 

have particular 

problems 

with their 

feet such as loss of circulation and loss 

of feeling. 

“It’s important for diabetics to keep 

their feet in good order with regular 

care,” Ian says. 

Children often experience foot 

problems, particularly when they 

change from one sport to another. 

Painful heels, for example, are quite 

common and these can be treated with 

orthotic support. 

“We make foot orthotics here at the 

clinic,” Ian says. “Anyone with heel 

pain, sore bunions, sore arches, flat 

feet and lower leg pain can be treated 

with foot orthotics.” 

As Ian explains, foot orthotics are 

special insoles that support the arches 

of the feet, helping you walk better and 

alleviating pain. This can help stabilise 

the feet and can contribute to fall 

prevention. 

The Papanui Foot Clinic carries the 

Dr Comfort footwear range for men 

and women. These are wider and 

deeper than standard footwear and are 

designed for people that have trouble 

finding shoes to fit. 

“These have been very successful for 

patients,” Ian says.“We also advise on 

the right footwear for children, and 

help them with stretching programmes 

to relieve tight muscles.”

Milestone for MeNZ shed 


BLOKES, BEERS and a barbecue 

– that’s how the Bishopdale MeNZ 

Shed celebrated its third birthday. 

Shed co-ordinator Richard Rendle 

said more than 50 people gathered 

at the Kendal Ave site for the celebrations. 

And a hardware firm, Comac, 

from Palmerston North provided 

the club with a cake and birthday 

candles to mark the milestone. 

The group meet twice weekly and 

retreat to the “man cave”, working 

on projects to benefit the wider 

community. 

Mr Rendle, who has been a member 

for “most” of the three years 

said the club is about getting men 

involved in the community. 

“We’ve had people who have 

come and said they’ve retired and 

basically they’re depressed and say 

this is the best thing that could have 

happened,” he said. 

Mr Rendle said during the three 

years there have been many projects 

the club has enjoyed working on 

from planter boxes for retirement 

villages, window seats for Women’s 

Refuge and coffins for stillborn 

babies. 

“But the penguin boxes we made 

for the International Antarctic 

Centre was something which caught 

people’s imaginations,” he said. 

HANDY MEN: Neil McNabb,

Parking 

solution for 

Tulett park 

THIRTY-SEVEN new 

parking spots will be added to 

Casebrook’s Tulett Park with the 

possibility of more. 

The move comes after Alison 

Philip and Jodi Gauci from 

Nomads United AFC football 

club made a deputation to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board meeting, telling 

the board finding a park was 

becoming too difficult. 

City council staff, members of 

the community board and sports 

club met on-site earlier in the 

year. 

“A possible location for a new 

car park was identified by those 

present,” city council staff said. 

However, staff said the need for 

the additional car parking had 

to be verified through “demand 

analysis” and funding prioritised 

through the city council Long 

Term Plan process. 

“As a result of the new housing 

subdivision, four angle parking 

spaces on Claridges Rd were 

removed to install a pedestrian 

safety refuge,” staff said. 

These parks have been replaced 

with seven additional parallel 

parking spaces on Claridges Rd.

Marist Albion sevens star takes award 

SPORTS 

MARIST Albion’s Daniel 

Fransen was named men’s 

sevens player of the year at the 

recent Canterbury rugby awards 

evening. 

He was one of a number of 

recipients at the awards last week 

at The Piano Centre for Music 

and the Arts. Fransen took out 

the award after an outstanding 

spring sevens series and season 

with the Canterbury sevens team. 

He scored 12 tries during the 

campaign and showed adept 

goal-kicking abilities to finish 

with 118 points for the season, 44 

of which were scored at nationals. 

Fransen was also selected in 

the New Zealand development 

team. 

Other award recipients: 

•Christchurch’s William 

Tucker, under-19 player 

of the year – The young 

lock was recognised for his 

diverse skill set, aerial ability 

and important set-piece 

contribution, but he also has a 

significant role off the playing 

field as a leader within the 

group. He accumulated an 

impressive amount of time 

on the paddock this year, 

having played every minute 

of every game throughout the 

representative season. 

•Christchurch’s Lucy 

Anderson and Lincoln’s 

Rebecca Todd, joint women’s 

players of the year award – 

Anderson pairs solid defence 

with an intelligent attacking 

mindset and strong ball 

carrying skills, and exhibits 

great leadership in the 

Canterbury backline. 

Todd, who is equally as 

prominent on defence and 

attack, has played at both 

No 8 and hooker already 

this season. She inspires 

others with her consistently 

high work rate, on-field 

organisation and ability to 

read the game. 

•Canterbury University’s 

Sam Godwin, Canterbury 

development player of the 

year – His unquenchable 

thirst for work saw him 

regularly feature at the high 

end of individual tackle 

counts, and his capacity for 

repeated efforts at a high 

intensity almost seems 

endless. 

•TeRauoriwa Gapper, 

women’s sevens player of 

the year – Her fitness, speed 

and physicality make her 

an ideal sevens player, and 

she possesses a high work 

TOP PLAYER: Daniel Fransen was named men’s sevens player of the year at the Canterbury 

Rugby Union’s awards evening.

rate, aptitude on defence 

and the esteemed ability to 

beat defenders one-on-one. 

As captain, Gapper led the 

team to the South Island 

regional title, as well as the 

national tournament, and 

always features prominently 

whenever she wears the red 

and black jersey. 

•Lincoln’s Nick Werahiko, 

Maori player of the year – He 

was recently awarded his 

division one 100-game blazer 

for his club and was named 

Waitaha captain for the 

second year. He also featured 

in the Canterbury A side on 

a number of occasions this 

season. 

•Richie Mo’unga, Canterbury 

rugby supporters club player 

of the year – The first fiveeighth 

has had an outstanding 

success rate with the boot 

this season and is one of 

the leading point scorers 

to date in the Mitre 10 Cup 

competition. Mo’unga shows 

composure and maturity 

beyond his 23 years as he 

directs play from the cutter. 

•Prebbleton life member 

Tony Grimwood, volunteer 

of the year for 38-years of 

commitment to the club 

– There is no job too big or 

small for ‘Grimmy’. “It’s a 

great club with great people. 

So it is quite easy to see why 

the years have flown by,” he 

said.



Kendo team fights way to 

second at national champs 

LOCAL KENDO exponents 

have performed well in a national 

championship. 

Kirk Reyes, Yuma Tamaki, 

both of Edgeware, and Merivale’s 

Masa Matsunami finished 

second at the Rembuden 

Taikai kendo competition in 

Wellington, which featured 

about 60 fighters from around 

the country. 

They fight for the Sei Tou Ken 

Yu Kai Canterbury Kendo Club. 

Kendo is the Japanese martial 

art of sword fighting in which 

competitors score by hitting their 

opponent’s hand, torso or head. 

The nail-biting final of the 

team’s open event is one the 

competitors will not forget. 

Tamaki said he couldn’t believe 

the team made it into the final 

against Auckland’s Daehan 

Mudo Kwan team, which included 

two senior New Zealand 

team members. 

“At first I was scared of versing 

them, but after we did our team 

huddle, all our feelings became 

one and we were able to do our 

best against them,” Tamaki said. 

Reyes said preparing for the 

final meant thinking about all 

the things he had learnt over the 

past few years. 

“I thought about all of the tips 

and advice I received from my 

peers and teachers and thought 

GREAT EFFORT: Kirk Reyes, Yuma Tamaki, Masa Matsunami 

came second in the open team event at the Rembuden Taikai 

kendo competition. 

about what my best result is and 

the things I’m most confident 

about in my kendo,” he said. 

Fellow club member and 

Cashmere High student Kai 

Edwards travelled to the event 

as well and won the men’s junior 

dan title. 

Club coach Blake Bennett said 

he was pleased to see the club do 

so well at the national event. 

“The team has put in an 

enormous amount of preparation 

on and off the dojo floor. They 

set goals, developed their 

communication skills and 

focused on strategy. The result 

was a group of confident young 

athletes with a very bright 

future,” he said. 

The club’s four female 

competitors Natsuko Saito, Ria 

Ellin, Hana Suzuki and Tania 

Butterfield also fought well in 

both the individual and team 

events. 

EXPAND: Plans for the expansion to the existing performing 

arts centre. 

KNOWLEDGE: The plans for the new Grimes Block, which 

includes teaching space for cooking and art. 

Revamp for St Bede’s 

gets go-ahead 

•From page 1 

The proposed Grimes building 

will contain two floors 

of teaching space for art and 

cooking classes with toilets and 

a foyer, built on an old tennis 

court. 

And the new sports pavilion 

has space for two classrooms, 

changing rooms, bathrooms, 

first aid space, storage, an officials’ 

room, and a weight and 

gym area. 

“The proposed sports pavilion 

will be available for use by community 

groups outside of school 

hours,” the plan said. Largely

But before construction begins, 

the school is working with 

a contaminant expert. 

“The site is identified as a contaminated 

site by Environment

Register,” the plan said. 

If necessary, it will have to 

submit another resource consent 

regarding the Soil Natural Environmental 

Standard.

FLAME FILES 

City raining 

cats and dogs 

• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire 

investigator 

I SUPPOSE you could say last 

week it rained cats and dogs in 

Christchurch. 

Well, one of each was rescued by 

fire crews from under a school in 

Phillipstown and from a stormwater 

drain in Woolston respectively. 

That was early in a week which 

had a bit of everything for firefighters. 

A hang glider pilot was carried 

out to Summit Rd with leg injuries 

from a crash. 

This type of incident is a valid reason 

why I prefer Air New Zealand 

and a professional pilot before I go 

too far off the ground. 

Five people were treated for smoke 

inhalation when a clothes drier 

ignited in Rochester St, Linwood, 

and two more when the Belfast 

Playcentre caught on fire at a child’s 

party. 

As I’ve said a hundred times your 

health and your safety are more 

important than any building. Fire 

smoke is not good for you. Get out, 

shut the door and ring 111. 

Our troops have protective 

clothing, breathing apparatus and 

training. 

Papanui butchery went mobile 

Papanui Heritage Group 

archivist Christine Grant 

writes about the history of 

a Papanui butchery 

In the days when most 

married women were fulltime 

housewives and owning 

a refrigerator was a luxury 

beyond most families, meat was 

generally purchased by women 

who walked to the nearest 

butchery several times a week. 

One such business with a long 

history in Papanui was situated 

at 14 North Rd, opposite the end 

of what is now Winston Ave. 

In the 1880s, this shop had 

been owned and operated by 

different members of the Ford 

family until the late 1920s when 

it was acquired by Arthur Taylor. 

He was succeeded by Stan 

Priest in the early 1930s until 

1936 when the business was 

purchased by ST Gibson. 

Although the shop was located 

in the middle of the traditional 

Papanui village area, Mr Gibson 

changed its name to the Waimairi 

Butchery, possibly because 

at this time part of Papanui was 

still administered by the Waimairi 

County Council. 

In August 1936, Mr Gibson 

advertised “quality mutton” for

“A local team for local people” 

HISTORY: In 1940, Jim Southen bought the Waimairi Butchery and his sons ran a home 

delivery service in Papanui, Bryndwr and Belfast out of the family’s Buick. 

three and a half pence (three 

cents) per pound if a side or 

quarter was purchased, although 

such a quantity could have 

overtaxed the capacity of the 

standard shopping basket. 

Gibson had 100 carcasses to 

sell at this special price. 

In another advertisement he 

stated: “We are prepared to sell 

cheaper mutton than anywhere 

else in Canterbury. Hotels and 

restaurants specially catered for.” 

In 1940, Jim Southen bought 

the business for ₤300. Two of his 

sons, Sid and Reg, worked for 

their father who also ran a home 

2 

delivery service in the Papanui, 

Bryndwr and Belfast areas, 

utilising a box on the back of the 

family Buick. 

The vehicle was later replaced 

by a van strikingly emblazoned 

with the name of the business on 

the sides. 

In 1957 or 1958, another son, 

Fred, took over the shop. 

A butcher’s shop in this period 

would have displayed the carcasses 

of mutton, pork and beef 

hanging from hooks on a rail 

so that they could be easily slid 

along when the customer asked 

for a particular cut of meat.

HOME & HEATING 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

A large wooden block was 

located at the end of the counter. 

The floor was usually covered 

in sawdust in an attempt to prevent 

slipping by using a natural 

material that could be easily 

disposed. 

Children loved to scuff their 

feet through the sawdust and to 

draw pictures in it. 

It appears that the last owner 

of the butchery at 14 North Rd 

was LJ (Larry) Salt, who operated 

the business under his own 

name from 1963-1966. 

•References: Wises 

Directories 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers

STUFFED APPLE 

CRUMBLES 

Ingredients 

200g Gingernuts 

4 Eve apples 

100g Butter, preferably unsalted, 

at room temperature 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Place the biscuits in a sealable 

plastic bag, seal and roll a 

wooden rolling pin firmly over 

the package to crush the biscuits 

finely. 

Alternatively crush them in a 

food processor. 

Cut a thick slice off the top of 

the apple and set aside. These 

will be the chapeaux — hats. 

Using an apple corer or a 

teaspoon, dig out the flesh from 

the centre of the apple, leaving 

a thin edge of apple around the 

inside and base. 

Discarding any core pieces, 

chop the flesh finely. 

Mix together the biscuit 

crumbs, butter and chopped 

apple to make a soft mix. Divide 

the mix evenly among the apples, 

packing it in firmly. Sit the hats 

back on top. 

Place the apples on a baking 

paper-lined tray or in a shallowsided 

ovenproof dish. 

Bake for 15-20min or until the 

apples have softened. Serve with 

cream or hot custard.

the other side. 

Poke in the chocolate buttons 

along the cut.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Physical Sense supports senior well-being 

Eight yEars ago, the Physical sense 

gym and Physio in sydenham, created a 

program to help stroke survivors. Their 

specialised exercise program is based 

on the work of the Burwood stroke 

rehabilitation team. 

Participants were so happy with the 

classes and the benefits they experienced 

that it has now grown to four classes 

each week. New classes have also been 

added to be effective for those who have 

suffered from Osteoporosis, intermittent 

Claudication, and Diabetes. On top of 

that they also run four weekly classes 

for seniors. These weekly rehabilitation 

and injury prevention classes can lead to 

continued gym membership at a reduced 

cost. Participants may also be eligible for 

a WiNZ subsidy to pay for the continued 

gym membership. 

Join one of the classes and increase 

your strength and mobility or just come 

in to find out more about what assistance 

is available for you. 

it all starts with a free assessment 

on Monday at 11.30 am where an 

experienced physiotherapist will assess 

your situation and advise you on the most 

appropriate exercise group with the aim to 

enable you to keep living as independently 

as possible. 

Life can get tougher as we get older, 

and it’s often easy to think that we should 

simply struggle on. yet a huge range of 

services are available to make life easier. 

Because these services are sometimes 

difficult to find, a new non-profit Centre 

for senior Wellbeing has been established. 

here you can get all the information 

needed to make sure that you (or your 

Join the classes at Physical Sense 

parents) can keep on living independently. 

it is a “walk-in” information centre 

where the staff are happy to connect you 

to the services you need to; -prevent 

falling, -make adjustments to home and 

surroundings, -reduce pain, -stay mobile, 

care for your feet. 

Problems with feet is a real issue for 

many older people with limited flexibility. 

The Centre offers in-home footcare for 

a reasonable fee. additionally, there are 

services provided by dieticians to help 

with weight gain or loss, nutrition and 

shopping. also occupational therapists 

who help maintain independence, safety 

in the home, and practical strategies for 

coping with issues like memory loss and 

pain. speech and language therapists 

support those with swallowing and 

communication concerns. Physiotherapy, 

in-clinic or at home, can help you stay 

mobile, reduce pain and increase wellness. 

Physical Sense and the Centre for Senior Well-Being are located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus 

stops in front of the door and there is ample parking. To enquire phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz
