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.

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.

Fletcher backs Cranford St businesses
Opposition to
Northern Arterial
plan is building
• By Julia Evans
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.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

• By Julia Evans
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
• By Julia Evans
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.

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.”

Monday to Friday, 9am-5.30pm

Milestone for MeNZ shed
• By Julia Evans
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,

solution for

THIRTY-SEVEN new

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

“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

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

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.

Fire rages, homes at risk
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

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.

installation and servicing of all major brands

Physical Sense supports senior well-being
Eight yEars ago, the Physical sense

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.
