Residents have say on traffic woes 

• By Julia Evans 

FENDALTON residents will 

now get a say in addressing road 

safety issues in thie area. 

It comes three weeks after 

Nor’West News revealed a memo 

from city council chief executive 

Karleen Edwards, which said the 

issues on Glandovy, Straven and 

Idris Rds could be “sufficiently 

addressed” by having 

a work shop with the 

community board, not 

the public. 

But the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board has 

vetoed the instruction. 

But resident James 

Wilding holds reservations 

that the city 

David 

Cartwright 

council could 

still exclude the 

public. 

“The board 

has recognised 

the validity of 

the community’s 

concerns. We now 

hope that the city 

council does so 

also and swiftly 

Karleen 

Edwards 

addresses them,” he said. 

Dr Edwards said she 

is satisfied the board has 

made its decision on the 

matter with the community’s 

interests in mind. 

“The board agreed 

that, an around the table, 

informal meeting with all 

parties would be the best 

approach, rather than a 

more formal working group.” 

Chairman David Cartwright 

told Nor’West News the board 

wants to create a “three-legged 

stool” made up of the board, city 

council and residents. “If you 

only have two of those legs, the 

stool falls over,” he said. A date 

for that meeting has not yet been 

set but Mr Cartwright said it 

would be within a fortnight.

TOP MARKS to the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board for getting behind residents 

and their traffic problems 

(see page 1). 

Karleen Edwards, the city council’s 

chief executive, and one very 

powerful individual, decided on 

the back of a staff recommendation 

to stop residents getting too involved 

in solving the traffic issues. 

That went down like a lead 

balloon with residents which 

Nor’West News reported three 

weeks ago. 

Now the community board has 

stood up to Dr Edwards and council 

staff and said residents should 

be a part of solving the problems. 

That means the issue won’t 

be thrashed out by an exclusive 

elected members club and their 

private workshops with few people 

knowing what has been said or 

discussed. Commonsense has prevailed.

Skate park sites revealed 


SITES IN the Papanui Ward 

have been identified for a skate 

park but it could be up to 12 

years before anyone gets to use 

it. 

City council staff narrowed 

the search for the suitable location 

for a park to Bridgewater 

Drainage Reserve, Craighead 

Reserve and Edgar Macintosh 

Park in Papanui or Owen 

Mitchell Park and Redwood 

Park in Redwood. 

The report said Owen Mitchell

St Andrew’s students 

play leading role 

in film awards 

The top two awards at the Canterbury 

Secondary Schools’ Film Festival were 

taken out by St Andrew’s College students. 

Twenty two films were screened at Hoyts 

last week, with two films from St Andrew’s 

– Beginners, written, directed and edited 

by Grace Dephoff, and Buddy, written, 

directed and edited by Logan McAllister. 

Beginners won best director as well as 

the supreme award for best overall film. 

Buddy won best screenplay and runnerup 

in the supreme award. 

most suitable. 

“There is space between the 

public toilet and playground 

that has suitable separation 

and natural surveillance from 

neighbours.” 

More than 20 other sites were 

identified, including Papanui 

High School, but were ruled out 

due to proximity to neighbours 

or space issues. 

The investigation came after 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board responded to calls from 

young people for a skate park in 

the area. 

“Papanui is very short of 

youth recreation facilities,” 

board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said. 

Currently, skaters have to go 

to St Albans, Burnside, Bishopdale 

or Belfast to find the closest 

park. 

Ms Jones said the board is 

throwing around the idea of 

expanding the concept into a 

larger indoor youth facility that 

would include a skate park. 

She said that is something 

that would be looked into 

further before pitching the 

proposal for the city council’s 

2019-29 Long Term Plan. 

An estimate of required funding 

for the skate park would be 

about $360,000 over three years. 

In year one, $20,000 would be 

required for site investigation 

and selection, engagement with 

the public and preliminary 

design. 

The second would require 

$40,000 for more community 

engagement, detailed design 

and resource consent. 

Construction of the park itself 

would be about $300,000, which 

includes free wi-fi. The cost 

would change if a larger facility 

was approved. 

CREATIVE: New Zealand Broadcasting School head Tony Simons with St 

Andrew’s College students Jen Wells, Grace Dephoff and Elliot Wood.. 

In Brief 

JELLIE PARK UPGRADE 

Jellie Park Recreation and Sport 

Centre is set for an upgrade and 

repairs starting next month. The 

pools will be repaired and the 

indoor hydroslide will be replaced. 

Other work includes fixing cracks, 

painting and repairs to flooring, 

walls and ceilings, as well as upgrading 

fire systems and replacing 

wet area flooring with a non-slip, 

hard-wearing material. It will be 

done in stages over 18 months. 

ACCESS TO THE GROYNES 

Work on widening the road access 

to The Groynes Reserve is almost 

finished. Work is continuing on 

the replacement and upgrading of 

an existing culvert where it crosses 

the causeway at the entrance to the 

reserve. Widening of the road will 

allow for two-way traffic, as well as 

pedestrian access on both sides of 

the road over the causeway. 

MAIN NORTH RD PROPOSAL 

Public feedback on the city 

council’s plan to overhaul Main 

North Rd is open until Friday. 

The proposal is to prioritise public 

transport down the street in a 

bid to decrease congestion with 

a variety of upgrades, including 

a full-time bus lane. A “have 

your say” can be found on the 

city council’s website before the 

proposal goes to the planning 

stage.

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF VET 

MICHELE 

Last month, our super vet nurse Megan wrote 

about what a nurses day is like at our clinic so I 

thought I’d give you a little insight into one of 

my marathon 12 hour Tuesdays, that must start 

with a flat white! 

I typically arrive in after 9am due to organizing 

our teenage lads for school in the morning and 

walking Lola before our big 12 hour Tuesday. 

I will then assess, liase with the hospital nurse 

and devise a plan for any of my sick hospital 

patients from the previous day. Sometimes I 

will pass an intensive care patient of mine onto 

Catherine if my day is full surgically. If there 

is time before consulting I will phone clients 

with patient updates or call them in the early 

afternoon when I’ve finished consulting. 

Typically I consult seeing patients for 3-4 

hours in the morning and then again another 3 

hours during the evening. By the time Tuesdays 

rock around my consulting schedule is almost 

full so when distressed clients phone with a very 

sick pet, obviously we will see them but they 

have to be squeezed into an already full block of 

consulting. If on arrival they are in urgent need 

of attention, either I will see them or one of our 

expert nurses will triage the patient, often take 

bloods, place a catheter and advise me of their 

findings. Every patient that rings is seen that 

day and often we see patients from other clinics 

because they cant be seen that day at their own 

Practice. 

It is common place that during my morning 

consults I have admitted sick patients for either 

blood testing, intravenous fluids, xrays or 

ultrasounds, dentistry, exploratory surgeries, or 

just observation. I will check on these patients 

progress, review any blood test results or 

findings, ring their owners if necessary and work 

out a treatment plan with the hospital nurse for 

that day. 

Once the sickies are dealt with, I turn my 

attention to the surgical board in which all my 

surgeries are highlighted in green pen! 

This past Tuesday was a little insane... 

Heres my list for that day- 

1. Right Stifle surgery in a sweet 1 year old 

Golden Retriever called “Bonnie” to repair 

ruptured ACL ligaments. Bonnie blew her ACL 

ligaments in both stifles while out exercising 

with other dogs, so the left is yet to be repaired 

in 2 weeks depending on how she’s coping after 

this surgery. 

2. A right femoral pinning 

and wiring in a young 

cat “Simba” to repair a 

fractured femur probably 

caused by a collision with 

a car. 

3. Full shoulder and 

elbow, spinal, lumbar 

and hip xrays in Murphy, 

a 12 year old chocolate 

Labrador with an 

annoying persistent right 

foreleg lameness. 

4. A sick, lethargic Chinchilla called Pickles who 

needed syringe feeding through the day. 

5. A Caesarian in a 2 year old Pug called 

“Geraldine”, who gave birth to 1 live puppy, with 

2 unfortunately dying. 

All in all I have absolutely no time to eat, drink 

or get into any trouble!! All the above need to be 

finished with and owners rung by 4pm when I 

start all over again with consults. 

Oh I forgot to mention that somewhere in the 

day I have 

a board 

full of 

messages 

to call 

clients 

regarding 

their pets 

blood or 

pathology 

results, 

medications requirements, booking in surgeries, 

queries from other vets or just general advice 

inquiries. 

We also look after sick animals for the SPCA 

and Cats Protection league. We will get a call 

alerting us to how far away they are and what 

sort of patient we are seeing, whether a medical 

or surgical case. That can happen anytime in 

our day so we fit these consultations around 

everything else. I feel very good being able to 

help these less fortunate animals and hopefully 

give them a chance at recovery and a great life. 

A day in MY LIFE is a hugely busy, fast paced 

one where I need to make so many important 

decisions in a day on the health and well being 

of the patients in my care. There is no time to 

second guess yourself, communication between 

my staff and my clients is key and I need to 

be very organized and able to prioritise all the 

patients in my care needing my help. We are so 

fortunate at McMaster & Heap to have such a 

highly skilled, clever and practical group of vets 

and nurses to be able to bounce ideas off when 

a difficult case needs a plan. 

Honestly I LOVE my job – actually it’s a 

priviledge to be able to help animals in the way 

we can and do. As you can see, every day is 

extremely different, very challenging at times 

with difficult medical cases or surgeries but the 

buck stops with 

me so to speak. 

I leave after my 

12 hour shift very 

tired and hungry! 

But with a big 

smile on my face 

knowing that I’ve 

made a difference 

in many animals 

lives that day 

and so have my 

fabulous team.

Readers respond to 

the story regarding 

businesses on Main 

North Rd upset the 

city council has 

proposed to take 

away on-street 

parking 

Chrys Horn – Change 

is scary but lack of change 

is even more scary given 

how much our car habit 

is costing all ratepayers 

in congestion, anger, 

frustration, not to mention 

climate change, ill health 

and lack of traffic safety 

and the rates needed to 

build parking buildings. 

There is no such thing as a 

free park. 

James David Foote – 

Less parks on the road will 

make the area much safer. 

Mia Griffiths – Stupid 

idea. 

Pamela Neil – It is a 

very congested area and it 

will be better for drivers as 

well as the buses. 

Rich Brown – The city 

council is always full of 

great ideas as long as somebody 

else pays. 

Ray Boyer – You can 

never get a park there any 

way? 

AND 

Stella Li of China Kitchen and Tim Sieg of Super Liquor 

are upset with new bus lanes on Main North Rd. 

Stephan Lance 

Gardiner – I think they 

don’t understand how 

bus lanes work. And no 

parking is not going to stop 

business. 

Kyle Falcon – It is bad 

enough for parking there 

now. 

Maraea Cracknell – 

The parking behind mobile 

garage area need to be 

addressed too. Pot holes 

after poles.

Teen picks up award for invention 


MICHAEL HANN decided 

he’d skip the Papanui High 

School senior prize-giving last 

Tuesday. 

Flying up to Auckland to 

attend the ASB Bright Sparks 

awards evening was a better offer 

and it was worth the trip. 

Michael, 18, and his natural 

disaster security device TEMS 

won first place in the senior 

engineering category. 

Michael saw a problem he 

could solve when medication 

and hearing equipment was stolen 

from a North New Brighton 

home during the tsunami 

evacuation after the Kaikoura 

earthquake last November. 

So he designed a security system 

to be deployed in a natural 

disaster when the power goes 

out. The invention acts as a battery 

charger for devices and a 

place to keep belongings locked 

inside during a disaster. It also 

has an alarm to keep houses 

safe when evacuated. It is triggered 

by the rocking caused by 

an earthquake and lights up an 

exit path. 

Michael’s now working on 

connecting TEMS to an app 

which would send a text if 

someone breaks in. 

Although he’d checked out 

BRIGHT SPARK: Michael Hann with a prototype of his 

security device which won a Bright Sparks engineering 

award. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

the competition, Michael wasn’t 

expecting them to read out 

his name. “It was really cool 

. . . I had a working protoype, 

so I was hoping that would be 

enough,” he said. He attended 

the evening with his father, a bit 

of an inventor himself. 

“We didn’t get to go out and 

celebrate. We had to fly back to 

Christchurch the same night,” 

Michael said. 

The top prize came with a 

new mobile phone and a cheque 

for $400. 

Even though he was absent at 

his school prize-giving, Michael 

was awarded $1000 by Papanui 

High as well. 

He said it was a good night all 

round, one he’d never forget. 

The success doesn’t stop there 

– Burnside High School year 11 

student Felix Backhouse came 

second in the Bright Sparks 

engineering category for his 

invention Birds iView. 

The device is a drone which 

monitors bird populations with 

hyper spectral imaging. 

Burnside year 13 student Jack 

Breurkes also won the software 

category with his Mobile Physics 

Game, a tool to help NCEA 

level two students study for 

physics exams. 

ASB head of innovation and 

commercialisation Leigh 

Angus said the company is 

proud to be involved in a programme 

that nurtures brilliant 

young minds.

The Fendalton-

upgrade at the contentious 

intersection 

all year.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Another bid 

for lights at 

intersection 

Aaron 

Keown 

has been contacted about the issue 

more than any other over his 10 

years of being elected. But funding 

for the upgrade failed to make it 

into the city council’s Annual Plan, 

not gaining enough support from 

city councillors around the table. 

However, the board has confirmed 

it will be including yet 

another bid to get money allocated 

in the upcoming Long Term Plan. 

A city council staff report said 

the city council was aware of the 

board’s plan. 

“The board will continue to 

advocate for this project to be 

a priority,” the report said. The 

board is hoping the project will be 

completed as soon as possible.

Merivale’s famous Traiteur 

butchery turns 25-years-old 


SOMETIMES Maarten and 

Anthea Loeffen work 18-hour 

days but they say it has all been 

worth it. 

Tomorrow marks 25 years 

since the pair first opened the 

iconic European butchery, 

Traiteur, on the corner of 

Aikmans and Papanui Rds. 

Mr Loeffen said over that time, 

the business has become part of 

the family. 

“Our three daughters all work 

in the shop part time . . . staff 

and their families, too, we all 

look after each other,” he said. 

There are several celebrations 

on the cards. Long-serving 

suppliers will be personally 

thanked, and customers will get 

a day of coffee and muffins. 

The butchery’s staff and the 

Loeffen family are all planning 

a dinner out, even though Mr 

Loeffen said they hadn’t decided 

where yet. 

“It’s Show Week so everywhere 

is busy,” he said. 

According to Mr Loeffen, the 

secret to Traiteur’s success is: 

“We always say yes.” 

Every customer has their 

favourites: A slice of cake, fresh

salad, piece of bacon and egg 

pie, gourmet sausage or a rack of 

lamb. 

But Mr Loeffen said his 

personal favourite is pork 

schnitzel – something close 

to his heart being from the 

Netherlands. 

Over the last 25 years, people 

have become “more busy”, he 

said. So in turn, the butchery 

is selling more and more preprepared 

meals. 

Although he wasn’t sure 

whether people really knew what 

busy was. 

“When I go to work at 2am,

SHOWTIME: The cast from Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and Christ’s College will perform their 

version of High School Musical next week. 

Extra night announced for 

Rangi, Christ’s sell-out show 

WHEN DISNEY’S High School 

Musical hit television screens 

11 years ago, millions of people 

tuned in. 

While not as many will see the 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and 

Christ’s College version, all six 

shows sold out in one day. 

Director Hannah Clarkson 

confirmed an extra show has 

been added to the season. 

Rangi Ruru director of theatre 

arts Peter Rutherford said he’s 

thrilled with the speedy sell-out. 

“High School Musical remains 

one of the world’s most popular 

television films ever and I am 

sure that has played a significant 

part in tickets selling out in a 

day,” he said. 

Musical director Henare Kaa 

said everyone has been humming 

the music since rehearsals began. 

“The songs are really catchy, 

I can’t get them out of my head. 

The cast and crew are having a 

ball in rehearsals and we can’t 

wait until opening night.” 

With a plot described by the 

author and numerous critics as 

a modern adaptation of Romeo 

and Juliet, High School Musical 

is a story about two high school 

juniors from rival groups – Troy 

Bolton, captain of the basketball 

team, and Gabriella Montez, a 

shy transfer student who excels 

in mathematics and science. 

A additional matinee 

performance is being planned 

and will take place before 

November 22. 

•Tickets will be available at 

www.rangiruru.school.nz or 

at the school office 


THE COUNTRY’S top speller 

headed back to her former 

classroom to let Selwyn House 

pupils in on her secret to success. 

St Margaret’s College student 

Lucy Jessup won the New 

Zealand Spelling Bee in October. 

But her love for words started 

long before then. 

“I’ve always loved reading 

and writing from a young age. 

By the time I was about fouryears-old 

my granddad and I 

would read child encyclopaedias 

together, and my grandma has 

always given me books and 

recommendations,” she said. 

The classroom at Selwyn was 

really where Lucy began to hone 

SCHOOLS 

NZ’s top speller back 

where it all started 

the craft. She puts her success 

down to reading. 

“The best way to improve your 

spelling is to read a wide range 

of books that you enjoy. If you 

enjoy what you are reading and 

are interested by it, it is easier to 

become interested in the words 

themselves.” 

Selwyn House team leader for 

years 1 to 3, Gill Patterson-Kerr, 

said it was fabulous that the year 

3 pupils could welcome and 

spend time with Lucy. 

“All the girls reflected upon 

their spelling programme 

and could imagine that the 

result of their efforts could see 

them achieve at this level,” Ms 

Patterson-Kerr said.

New

Burnside-based preschool and nursery, 

The Enchanted Garden, was handed over 

to new owner-operator Debbie Taylor in 

October. She has been in early childhood 

management for over seven years and has 

three children of her own. Along with the 

familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s 

vision is to continue the high quality care 

and reputation that The Enchanted Garden 

has maintained since 1995. 

The centre offers children a home away 

from home, with a philosophy based on 

holistic, individualised care. They engage 

higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow 

better care and attention. The centre 

is staffed with a team of professional 

educators and nurturers who are highly 

trained and passionate about creating 

happy experiences. 

The setting is warm and home-like in 

nature while the playground and indoor 

environment have been designed to allow 

children to safely explore and learn with 

confidence. This is supported by a strong 

curriculum designed for active and exciting 

play. 

With 10 spaces in their nursery, and 

23 spaces in their preschool, the centre 

provides the complete early childhood 

service. The fluidity of care allows children 

to form close bonds while families enjoy 

peace of mind.

TRANSPORT: Residents struggling 

to walk home from the bus stop 

outside Northlands Shopping 

Centre are unlikely to get a another

Wheels 

come off 

battle for 

extra 

Papanui 

bus stop 


A BID to get an additional bus stop in 

Papanui has hit a road block. 

City councillor Mike Davidson asked 

staff to investigate the possibility of 

another stop on Main North Rd after 

fielding calls from elderly residents living 

around Northlands Shopping Centre. 

The residents told Cr 

Davidson they struggle to 

walk home from the super 

stop outside the mall and 

the next bus stop on Main 

North Rd is too far. 

Cr Davidson suggested 

a new stop be put between 

the super stop and Vagues 

Rd. 

He said there is more 

Mike 

Davidson 

than 600m between the current northbound 

stops but city council regulation 

is 500m. 

A new bus stop would replace one 

which was removed from outside 

Countdown during construction of the 

Papanui Parallel cycleway. 

However, city council staff recommended 

the idea not go ahead. 

A staff report said a bus stop between 

Grassmere St and Sawyers Arms Rd 

would result in most of the on-street 

parking being removed, which would be 

of concern to shops on the corner. 

The report said it would also be unsafe 

due to the proximity of the cycleway and 

add significant delays to bus times. 

“This would be at odds with the primary 

purpose of the Main North bus priority 

project, which is to improve public 

transport reliability along this section of 

the network,” the report said. 

A stop between Sawyers Arms and 

Vagues Rds “would not reduce the current 

walk distance” as it could only be 

placed outside 107 Main North Rd, the 

report said. 

Another reason given was that a second 

bus stop on the opposite side of the 

road would need to be installed. 

“As a general note it is not recommended 

to install a single bus stop. Bus 

stops are installed in pairs,” it said.

HOW TO BARBECUE 

PERFECT RIBEYE STEAK 

Ingredients 

Ribeye steaks, at least an 1.5 

inches thick 

Olive oil 

Salt 

Fresh ground black pepper 

Directions 

Preheat your grill to high heat. 

If you have a sear burner and a 

steak that is more than an inch 

thick, get one side of the grill 

going at about medium-high in 

case you need to cook it through 

a little more after the sear. 

Remove the ribeye steaks from 

their packaging and rub them 

down with some olive oil and 

then coat a generous amount 

of salt and freshly ground black 

pepper. The olive oil provides 

just enough fat to help the salt 

and pepper create a great, caramelised 

crust. 

Clean and lubricate your grill 

grates with some cooking oil on 

a rolled up piece of paper towel 

(using tongs, of course). 

Place the ribeye steaks on the 

hottest part of the grill and then 

stand ready with the tongs. 

At this point, you are on flareup 

watch. The fat dripping off of 

the steaks could create a flare-up. 

If a flare-up occurs and doesn’t 

go away in a few seconds, simply 

use your tongs to slide the steaks 

away from the open flame until 

the flame dies down and then 

move them back over the heat. 

Continue to grill with the lid 

open for about 4-6min. 

Flip the steaks over onto the 

other side, still over the hottest 

part of the grill. 

Grill the ribeye steaks for an 

additional 4-6min on the other 

side, lid open, for a medium-rare 

delicious steak. 

Remove the steaks from the 

grill and allow to rest for 5min 

before serving. The resting 

period is important so that the 

juices don’t run out when you cut 

into the ribeye, so be patient. 

AVOCADO AND 

CARAMELISED PINEAPPLE 

SALAD 

Ingredients 

2 Tbsp Brown sugar 

½ Pineapple, peeled 

2 Tbsp Butter 

3 Avocados, firm but ripe 

½ Red onion 

100g Blue cheese, creamy 

½ Red chilli 

2 cups Salad leaves, washed 

Dressing 

1 Orange, zest and juice 

1 Chilli, finely chopped 

1 tsp Ground cumin 

4 Tbsp Avocado oil 

1 to taste Salt & freshly ground 

pepper 

Directions 

Prepare all the ingredients. 

Core the pineapple, then cut 

the flesh into 3cm cubes and 

sprinkle with the brown sugar. 

Put a frying pan on to heat, then 

add the butter. When the butter 

is starting to sizzle, add the pineapple 

pieces and fry over a gentle 

heat until they are caramelised 

on all sides. 

Cool. Cut the avocados into 

2-3cm cubes. Break the cheese 

into small pieces and slice the 

onion paper-thin. Slice the chilli 

into thin pieces. Make the dressing 

by shaking all the ingredients 

together in a jar. 

To serve, line a flat serving 

plate with the fresh salad leaves. 

Toss the avocado, pineapple, 

cheese, chilli and red onion 

together on top of the leaves. 

Drizzle over the dressing and 

serve at once.

• By Andrew King 

A COMBINED Selwyn House 

and Medbury schools team 

finished second at the inaugural 

primary show jumping event in 

the senior section. 

The event was held at the 

National Equestrian Centre, 

McLeans Island. 

Meg Glassey, Eva Johnston 

and Sophie Thomas, of Selwyn 

House, and Harry Burt and 

Robbie Cochrane, of Medbury, 

rode in two different categories, 

which were split up by height. 

The team’s mascot – a pug 

named Danger Mouse – was also 

at the event to support them. 

Eva, riding Double Take, 

and Harry, riding Kennebrook 

Whispering Sand, both competed 

in the 65cm section. 

Sophie, on Toffee De Lux; 

Meg, on Willowmead Playboy; 

and Robbie, on Inspector 

Gadget, competed in the 80cm 

section. 

Each rider competed in four 

rounds of show jumping, with 

the course slightly altering each 

time. 

SUPPORT: Selwyn House pupil Eva Johnston holds onto the 

team mascot Danger Mouse. 

The judges take the four best 

scores, two from 65cm and two 

from 80cm, from each round 

and the team with the lowest 

penalties is crowned the winner 

A team from Villa Maria won 

the event. 

Team manager Belinda 

Thomas said it was great to see 

an event like this start up for 

young riders. 

“It gives the kids, who are 

very committed to this sport, 

an opportunity to ride for their 

schools,” she said. 

“The Selwyn House-Medbury 

team did extremely well 

finishing second, with loads of 

clear rounds very close to the 

optimum time. Technically, 

they rode extremely well. The 

top three teams were only three 

marks apart. So the competition 

was tough.” 

Volleyball girls 

take out division 

for St Andrew’s 


THE ST Andrew’s College girls 

team won their division at the 

junior volleyball championships 

at the weekend. 

They only needed two sets in 

the division one final against 

Burnside High to claim the title 

at Pioneer Stadium on Sunday, 

25-12 and 25-18. 

It was an improvement on last 

year’s fourth-place finish. 

St Margaret’s finished third 

and Christchurch Girls’ High 

finished fourth in the same division. 

The division one and two boys 

competition was won by Shirley 

Boys’ High with Christchurch

Hockey star scores St Margaret’s awards 


ST MARGARET’S student 

Emily Wium cleaned up at the 

school’s sports awards taking 

home sportswoman of the 

year and outstanding sporting

The event was hosted by 

former Silver Ferns captain Julie 

Seymour and former Black Stick, 

Gemma McCaw, was a guest 

speaker. 

Emily, 18, has had a standout 

year, winning Canterbury 

Hockey’s outstanding young

camp, the Canterbury Cats, 

Canterbury under-18 regional 

women’s side, and the St 

Margaret’s College first XI which 

came third in the Federation

School director of sport 

Helen Belcher said the holistic 

approach the school takes to 

sports allows girls like Emily to 

excel. 

“Emily has been in our first 

XI since year 9 and she’s worked 

incredibly hard the whole of her 

time here at St Margaret’s, always 

very focused on her hockey,” she 

said.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 


Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in 

Sydenham sees clients with a 

range of symptoms but many 

of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back 

muscle could also be the cause, as shown in 

the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old 

client with severe arthritis who walked with 

a stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair, 

I cannot put any weight through my right 

leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”. 

“Within 4 treatments, she was walking with 

her stick but without the severe pain,” says 

Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors 

that made her muscles spasm but the other 

was that older people move less and the 

flexed position the hip is in when we sit is 

particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy 

with the fact that although the client was 89 

and could have been “given up on” or told to 

live with the pain, she made a difference to 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

her health and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise program 

designed to mobilize and stretch the hip, 

strengthen the important core muscles and 

increase general strength and balance. They 

teach a movement sequence that stretches 

the hip in all directions whilst the client is 

able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for 

older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. If 

severe arthritis is the underlying cause, some 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

maintenance therapy may be necessary, but 

that is often more affordable and, for older 

patients, better tolerated than surgery. In 

very few treatments the client will know if 

it is going to work for them or not, without 

financial commitment. 

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

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Experience comfort! Experience 

technology!!! 

Dr Keith Chiang and his team at 

Fendalton Dental Surgery are excited to 

offer the very latest in dental imaging 

technology. They have taken delivery of 

several sophisticated dental equipment 

over the recent months. All designed 

to enhance patient diagnosis, improve 

their comfort and safety during dental 

procedures by upgrading to the latest 

available. Keith believes in constantly 

updating himself with recent advances 

by attending several courses in NZ 

and overseas. “Each course teaches me 

something new and makes me revisit 

Dentistry with a renewed passion”. 

Keith with 

the CBCT 

The newest arrival is the Cone Beam 

Computed Tomograph (CBCT), which 

provides a 3D image of the patient’s 

jaws and teeth through the latest digital 

imaging technology. As Keith explains, 

the current digital X-rays shows only 

a 2D image. The image is crisper but 

it sometimes leaves a few questions 

unanswered. Now with the complete 3D 

technology, he is able to have a much 

better understanding of problems in 

the patient’s mouth. “It’s a huge game 

changer and takes diagnostic imaging 

to a totally different level. It’s like having 

Superman’s extra pair of eyes to help with 

the diagnosis,” he says. “And it saves time 

as patients do not have to be referred 

elsewhere for the scans as we have the 

CBCT machine in our practice and the 

scan costs cheaper comparatively too”. 

The Surgery has also acquired a stateof-the-art 

patient sedation monitoring 

system, Capnograph, which is used for 

patients under IV sedation. Surgical or 

Dental treatment under IV sedation is an 

area of special interest for Keith, who is 

a dental surgeon, and he has carried out 

more than 1800 IV procedures since 2008. 

“Patient safety is our utmost priority when 

they are under sedation. Our Capnograph 

monitors their vital signs namely the 

respiratory gaseous exchange of oxygen 

and carbon dioxide levels, heart rate and 

Non-invasive intermittent blood pressure 

throughout the procedure. This not only 

benefits the patient, but also gives the 

dentist a sense of reassurance.” 

Associate dentist, Dr Zohnia McNeill 

has a keen focus in cosmetic and 

restorative dentistry, restoring the smile 

for people of all ages and from all walks 

of life. She shares the same passion for 

dentistry and is happy to put a smile 

back on the patients face. Oral Health 

Therapist, Amy Lee is dedicated to 

looking after the Oral hygiene of the 

patients. Her role involves treating gum 

diseases, educate people about care of 

The Fendalton Dental team 

their teeth and gums to help prevent oral 

diseases and maintain good oral health as 

well as overall general health. 

The Fendalton Dental Surgery 

provides General dental services with 

a focus on Surgical and Restorative 

Dentistry. The team warmly welcomes 

you to enjoy the friendly environment 

and the experience the new technology 

they provide. The Surgery is located 

on the high-profile corner of Idris and

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


Specialised machines used to 

identify auto electrical problems 

Auto electricAl specialists, roses 

Auto electrical, are experts in repairing 

and maintaining all aspects of the 

electrical and electronic componentry 

found in today’s highly sophisticated 

commercial and passenger vehicles. 

Their cranford Street workshop 

boasts a suite of highly specialised 

diagnostic machines, which enable the 

team to quickly identify any electrical or 

electronic problems in most makes and 

models of vehicle and repair them, saving 

time for the technicians and cost for the 

customer. 

roses Auto electrical offer a full range 

of electrical services including batteries, 

(they are a Battery town agent), which 

are fitted free of charge. They also provide 

free battery, alternator and starter checks 

and install and repair car stereo systems, 

alarms, air conditioning, ASB brake 

systems and traction control systems. 

A recent acquisition for roses Auto 

electrical was the Autologic european 

Diagnostics machine 

This specialised and highly 

sophisticated equipment is used to 

diagnose most (if not all) electrical and 

electronic faults in european vehicles. 

The machine’s digital interface interacts 

with the vehicle’s active components, 

programming and coding. Depending 

on the model of the vehicle, it reads 

and clears all Diagnostic trouble codes 

(Dtcs) to identify the faults. it also 

reads live vehicle data such as engine 

temperature, engine speed, vehicle 

speed and suspension height data. Plus, 

roses Auto electrical have the back-up a 

worldwide european support base. 

The Autologic european Diagnostics 

machine covers vehicles from 1995 

onwards, so for owners of out-of-warranty 

european vehicles, it ensures all their 

auto-electrical repair and replacement 

needs can be ascertained and catered for. 

The customer comes first for the 

friendly, professional team at roses
