Residents have say on traffic woes<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

FENDALTON residents will<br />

now get a say in addressing road<br />

safety issues in thie area.<br />

It comes three weeks after<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong> revealed a memo<br />

from city council chief executive<br />

Karleen Edwards, which said the<br />

issues on Glandovy, Straven and<br />

Idris Rds could be “sufficiently<br />

addressed” by having<br />

a work shop with the<br />

community board, not<br />

the public.<br />

But the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board has<br />

vetoed the instruction.<br />

But resident James<br />

Wilding holds reservations<br />

that the city<br />

David<br />

Cartwright<br />

council could<br />

still exclude the<br />

public.<br />

“The board<br />

has recognised<br />

the validity of<br />

the community’s<br />

concerns. We now<br />

hope that the city<br />

council does so<br />

also and swiftly<br />

Karleen<br />

Edwards<br />

addresses them,” he said.<br />

Dr Edwards said she<br />

is satisfied the board has<br />

made its decision on the<br />

matter with the community’s<br />

interests in mind.<br />

“The board agreed<br />

that, an around the table,<br />

informal meeting with all<br />

parties would be the best<br />

approach, rather than a<br />

more formal working group.”<br />

Chairman David Cartwright<br />

told Nor’West <strong>News</strong> the board<br />

wants to create a “three-legged<br />

stool” made up of the board, city<br />

council and residents. “If you<br />

only have two of those legs, the<br />

stool falls over,” he said. A date<br />

for that meeting has not yet been<br />

set but Mr Cartwright said it<br />

would be within a fortnight.<br />

TOP MARKS to the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />

Board for getting behind residents<br />

and their traffic problems<br />

(see page 1).<br />

Karleen Edwards, the city council’s<br />

chief executive, and one very<br />

powerful individual, decided on<br />

the back of a staff recommendation<br />

to stop residents getting too involved<br />

in solving the traffic issues.<br />

That went down like a lead<br />

balloon with residents which<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong> reported three<br />

weeks ago.<br />

Now the community board has<br />

stood up to Dr Edwards and council<br />

staff and said residents should<br />

be a part of solving the problems.<br />

That means the issue won’t<br />

be thrashed out by an exclusive<br />

elected members club and their<br />

private workshops with few people<br />

knowing what has been said or<br />

discussed. Commonsense has prevailed.<br />

Skate park sites revealed<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SITES IN the Papanui Ward<br />

have been identified for a skate<br />

park but it could be up to 12<br />

years before anyone gets to use<br />

it.<br />

City council staff narrowed<br />

the search for the suitable location<br />

for a park to Bridgewater<br />

Drainage Reserve, Craighead<br />

Reserve and Edgar Macintosh<br />

Park in Papanui or Owen<br />

Mitchell Park and Redwood<br />

Park in Redwood.<br />

The report said Owen Mitchell<br />

Park on Grimseys Rd is the<br />

St Andrew’s students<br />

play leading role<br />

in film awards<br />

The top two awards at the Canterbury<br />

Secondary Schools’ Film Festival were<br />

taken out by St Andrew’s College students.<br />

Twenty two films were screened at Hoyts<br />

last week, with two films from St Andrew’s<br />

– Beginners, written, directed and edited<br />

by Grace Dephoff, and Buddy, written,<br />

directed and edited by Logan McAllister.<br />

Beginners won best director as well as<br />

the supreme award for best overall film.<br />

Buddy won best screenplay and runnerup<br />

in the supreme award.<br />

most suitable.<br />

“There is space between the<br />

public toilet and playground<br />

that has suitable separation<br />

and natural surveillance from<br />

neighbours.”<br />

More than 20 other sites were<br />

identified, including Papanui<br />

High School, but were ruled out<br />

due to proximity to neighbours<br />

or space issues.<br />

The investigation came after<br />

the Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board responded to calls from<br />

young people for a skate park in<br />

the area.<br />

“Papanui is very short of<br />

youth recreation facilities,”<br />

board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />

said.<br />

Currently, skaters have to go<br />

to St Albans, Burnside, Bishopdale<br />

or Belfast to find the closest<br />

park.<br />

Ms Jones said the board is<br />

throwing around the idea of<br />

expanding the concept into a<br />

larger indoor youth facility that<br />

would include a skate park.<br />

She said that is something<br />

that would be looked into<br />

further before pitching the<br />

proposal for the city council’s<br />

2019-29 Long Term Plan.<br />

An estimate of required funding<br />

for the skate park would be<br />

about $360,000 over three years.<br />

In year one, $20,000 would be<br />

required for site investigation<br />

and selection, engagement with<br />

the public and preliminary<br />

design.<br />

The second would require<br />

$40,000 for more community<br />

engagement, detailed design<br />

and resource consent.<br />

Construction of the park itself<br />

would be about $300,000, which<br />

includes free wi-fi. The cost<br />

would change if a larger facility<br />

was approved.<br />

CREATIVE: New Zealand Broadcasting School head Tony Simons with St<br />

Andrew’s College students Jen Wells, Grace Dephoff and Elliot Wood..<br />

In Brief<br />

JELLIE PARK UPGRADE<br />

Jellie Park Recreation and Sport<br />

Centre is set for an upgrade and<br />

repairs starting next month. The<br />

pools will be repaired and the<br />

indoor hydroslide will be replaced.<br />

Other work includes fixing cracks,<br />

painting and repairs to flooring,<br />

walls and ceilings, as well as upgrading<br />

fire systems and replacing<br />

wet area flooring with a non-slip,<br />

hard-wearing material. It will be<br />

done in stages over 18 months.<br />

ACCESS TO THE GROYNES<br />

Work on widening the road access<br />

to The Groynes Reserve is almost<br />

finished. Work is continuing on<br />

the replacement and upgrading of<br />

an existing culvert where it crosses<br />

the causeway at the entrance to the<br />

reserve. Widening of the road will<br />

allow for two-way traffic, as well as<br />

pedestrian access on both sides of<br />

the road over the causeway.<br />

MAIN NORTH RD PROPOSAL<br />

Public feedback on the city<br />

council’s plan to overhaul Main<br />

North Rd is open until Friday.<br />

The proposal is to prioritise public<br />

transport down the street in a<br />

bid to decrease congestion with<br />

a variety of upgrades, including<br />

a full-time bus lane. A “have<br />

your say” can be found on the<br />

city council’s website before the<br />

proposal goes to the planning<br />

stage.<br />

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF VET<br />

MICHELE<br />

Last month, our super vet nurse Megan wrote<br />

about what a nurses day is like at our clinic so I<br />

thought I’d give you a little insight into one of<br />

my marathon 12 hour Tuesdays, that must start<br />

with a flat white!<br />

I typically arrive in after 9am due to organizing<br />

our teenage lads for school in the morning and<br />

walking Lola before our big 12 hour Tuesday.<br />

I will then assess, liase with the hospital nurse<br />

and devise a plan for any of my sick hospital<br />

patients from the previous day. Sometimes I<br />

will pass an intensive care patient of mine onto<br />

Catherine if my day is full surgically. If there<br />

is time before consulting I will phone clients<br />

with patient updates or call them in the early<br />

afternoon when I’ve finished consulting.<br />

Typically I consult seeing patients for 3-4<br />

hours in the morning and then again another 3<br />

hours during the evening. By the time Tuesdays<br />

rock around my consulting schedule is almost<br />

full so when distressed clients phone with a very<br />

sick pet, obviously we will see them but they<br />

have to be squeezed into an already full block of<br />

consulting. If on arrival they are in urgent need<br />

of attention, either I will see them or one of our<br />

expert nurses will triage the patient, often take<br />

bloods, place a catheter and advise me of their<br />

findings. Every patient that rings is seen that<br />

day and often we see patients from other clinics<br />

because they cant be seen that day at their own<br />

Practice.<br />

It is common place that during my morning<br />

consults I have admitted sick patients for either<br />

blood testing, intravenous fluids, xrays or<br />

ultrasounds, dentistry, exploratory surgeries, or<br />

just observation. I will check on these patients<br />

progress, review any blood test results or<br />

findings, ring their owners if necessary and work<br />

out a treatment plan with the hospital nurse for<br />

that day.<br />

Once the sickies are dealt with, I turn my<br />

attention to the surgical board in which all my<br />

surgeries are highlighted in green pen!<br />

This past Tuesday was a little insane...<br />

Heres my list for that day-<br />

1. Right Stifle surgery in a sweet 1 year old<br />

Golden Retriever called “Bonnie” to repair<br />

ruptured ACL ligaments. Bonnie blew her ACL<br />

ligaments in both stifles while out exercising<br />

with other dogs, so the left is yet to be repaired<br />

in 2 weeks depending on how she’s coping after<br />

this surgery.<br />

2. A right femoral pinning<br />

and wiring in a young<br />

cat “Simba” to repair a<br />

fractured femur probably<br />

caused by a collision with<br />

a car.<br />

3. Full shoulder and<br />

elbow, spinal, lumbar<br />

and hip xrays in Murphy,<br />

a 12 year old chocolate<br />

Labrador with an<br />

annoying persistent right<br />

foreleg lameness.<br />

4. A sick, lethargic Chinchilla called Pickles who<br />

needed syringe feeding through the day.<br />

5. A Caesarian in a 2 year old Pug called<br />

“Geraldine”, who gave birth to 1 live puppy, with<br />

2 unfortunately dying.<br />

All in all I have absolutely no time to eat, drink<br />

or get into any trouble!! All the above need to be<br />

finished with and owners rung by 4pm when I<br />

start all over again with consults.<br />

Oh I forgot to mention that somewhere in the<br />

day I have<br />

a board<br />

full of<br />

messages<br />

to call<br />

clients<br />

regarding<br />

their pets<br />

blood or<br />

pathology<br />

results,<br />

medications requirements, booking in surgeries,<br />

queries from other vets or just general advice<br />

inquiries.<br />

We also look after sick animals for the SPCA<br />

and Cats Protection league. We will get a call<br />

alerting us to how far away they are and what<br />

sort of patient we are seeing, whether a medical<br />

or surgical case. That can happen anytime in<br />

our day so we fit these consultations around<br />

everything else. I feel very good being able to<br />

help these less fortunate animals and hopefully<br />

give them a chance at recovery and a great life.<br />

A day in MY LIFE is a hugely busy, fast paced<br />

one where I need to make so many important<br />

decisions in a day on the health and well being<br />

of the patients in my care. There is no time to<br />

second guess yourself, communication between<br />

my staff and my clients is key and I need to<br />

be very organized and able to prioritise all the<br />

patients in my care needing my help. We are so<br />

fortunate at McMaster & Heap to have such a<br />

highly skilled, clever and practical group of vets<br />

and nurses to be able to bounce ideas off when<br />

a difficult case needs a plan.<br />

Honestly I LOVE my job – actually it’s a<br />

priviledge to be able to help animals in the way<br />

we can and do. As you can see, every day is<br />

extremely different, very challenging at times<br />

with difficult medical cases or surgeries but the<br />

buck stops with<br />

me so to speak.<br />

I leave after my<br />

12 hour shift very<br />

tired and hungry!<br />

But with a big<br />

smile on my face<br />

knowing that I’ve<br />

made a difference<br />

in many animals<br />

lives that day<br />

and so have my<br />

fabulous team.<br />

Geraldine and her one little puppy.<br />

Teen picks up award for invention<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

MICHAEL HANN decided<br />

he’d skip the Papanui High<br />

School senior prize-giving last<br />

Tuesday.<br />

Flying up to Auckland to<br />

attend the ASB Bright Sparks<br />

awards evening was a better offer<br />

and it was worth the trip.<br />

Michael, 18, and his natural<br />

disaster security device TEMS<br />

won first place in the senior<br />

engineering category.<br />

Michael saw a problem he<br />

could solve when medication<br />

and hearing equipment was stolen<br />

from a North New Brighton<br />

home during the tsunami<br />

evacuation after the Kaikoura<br />

earthquake last <strong>November</strong>.<br />

So he designed a security system<br />

to be deployed in a natural<br />

disaster when the power goes<br />

out. The invention acts as a battery<br />

charger for devices and a<br />

place to keep belongings locked<br />

inside during a disaster. It also<br />

has an alarm to keep houses<br />

safe when evacuated. It is triggered<br />

by the rocking caused by<br />

an earthquake and lights up an<br />

exit path.<br />

Michael’s now working on<br />

connecting TEMS to an app<br />

which would send a text if<br />

someone breaks in.<br />

Although he’d checked out<br />

BRIGHT SPARK: Michael Hann with a prototype of his<br />

security device which won a Bright Sparks engineering<br />

award.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

the competition, Michael wasn’t<br />

expecting them to read out<br />

his name. “It was really cool<br />

. . . I had a working protoype,<br />

so I was hoping that would be<br />

enough,” he said. He attended<br />

the evening with his father, a bit<br />

of an inventor himself.<br />

“We didn’t get to go out and<br />

celebrate. We had to fly back to<br />

Christchurch the same night,”<br />

Michael said.<br />

The top prize came with a<br />

new mobile phone and a cheque<br />

for $400.<br />

Even though he was absent at<br />

his school prize-giving, Michael<br />

was awarded $1000 by Papanui<br />

High as well.<br />

He said it was a good night all<br />

round, one he’d never forget.<br />

The success doesn’t stop there<br />

– Burnside High School year 11<br />

student Felix Backhouse came<br />

second in the Bright Sparks<br />

engineering category for his<br />

invention Birds iView.<br />

The device is a drone which<br />

Another bid<br />

Aaron<br />

Keown<br />

has been contacted about the issue<br />

more than any other over his 10<br />

years of being elected. But funding<br />

for the upgrade failed to make it<br />

into the city council’s Annual Plan,<br />

not gaining enough support from<br />

city councillors around the table.<br />

However, the board has confirmed<br />

it will be including yet<br />

another bid to get money allocated<br />

in the upcoming Long Term Plan.<br />

A city council staff report said<br />

the city council was aware of the<br />

board’s plan.<br />

“The board will continue to<br />

advocate for this project to be<br />

a priority,” the report said. The<br />

board is hoping the project will be<br />

completed as soon as possible.<br />

Merivale’s famous Traiteur<br />

butchery turns 25-years-old<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SOMETIMES Maarten and<br />

Anthea Loeffen work 18-hour<br />

days but they say it has all been<br />

worth it.<br />

Tomorrow marks 25 years<br />

since the pair first opened the<br />

iconic European butchery,<br />

Traiteur, on the corner of<br />

Aikmans and Papanui Rds.<br />

Mr Loeffen said over that time,<br />

the business has become part of<br />

the family.<br />

“Our three daughters all work<br />

in the shop part time . . . staff<br />

and their families, too, we all<br />

look after each other,” he said.<br />

There are several celebrations<br />

on the cards. Long-serving<br />

suppliers will be personally<br />

thanked, and customers will get<br />

a day of coffee and muffins.<br />

The butchery’s staff and the<br />

Loeffen family are all planning<br />

a dinner out, even though Mr<br />

Loeffen said they hadn’t decided<br />

where yet.<br />

“It’s Show Week so everywhere<br />

is busy,” he said.<br />

According to Mr Loeffen, the<br />

secret to Traiteur’s success is:<br />

“We always say yes.”<br />

Every customer has their<br />

favourites: A slice of cake, fresh<br />

salad, piece of bacon and egg<br />

pie, gourmet sausage or a rack of<br />

lamb.<br />

But Mr Loeffen said his<br />

personal favourite is pork<br />

schnitzel – something close<br />

to his heart being from the<br />

Netherlands.<br />

Over the last 25 years, people<br />

have become “more busy”, he<br />

said. So in turn, the butchery<br />

is selling more and more preprepared<br />

meals.<br />

Although he wasn’t sure<br />

whether people really knew what<br />

busy was.<br />

“When I go to work at 2am,<br />

the busy people are still asleep<br />

and by the time I get home at<br />

8pm, the busy people are already<br />

watching television with their<br />

feet up,” he said.<br />

MEDBURY SCHOOL has a new<br />

headmaster joining the team<br />

next year.<br />

Ian Macpherson, who is<br />

currently head of middle school<br />

at Brisbane Boys’ College,<br />

will make the move across the<br />

Tasman.<br />

Prior to that, he held the<br />

positions of deputy headmaster –<br />

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

version of High School Musical next week. ​<br />

Extra night announced for<br />

Rangi, Christ’s sell-out show<br />

WHEN DISNEY’S High School<br />

Musical hit television screens<br />

11 years ago, millions of people<br />

tuned in.<br />

While not as many will see the<br />

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and<br />

Christ’s College version, all six<br />

shows sold out in one day.<br />

Director Hannah Clarkson<br />

confirmed an extra show has<br />

been added to the season.<br />

Rangi Ruru director of theatre<br />

arts Peter Rutherford said he’s<br />

thrilled with the speedy sell-out.<br />

“High School Musical remains<br />

one of the world’s most popular<br />

television films ever and I am<br />

sure that has played a significant<br />

part in tickets selling out in a<br />

day,” he said.<br />

Musical director Henare Kaa<br />

said everyone has been humming<br />

the music since rehearsals began.<br />

“The songs are really catchy,<br />

I can’t get them out of my head.<br />

The cast and crew are having a<br />

ball in rehearsals and we can’t<br />

wait until opening night.”<br />

With a plot described by the<br />

author and numerous critics as<br />

a modern adaptation of Romeo<br />

and Juliet, High School Musical<br />

is a story about two high school<br />

juniors from rival groups – Troy<br />

Bolton, captain of the basketball<br />

team, and Gabriella Montez, a<br />

shy transfer student who excels<br />

in mathematics and science.<br />

A additional matinee<br />

performance is being planned<br />

and will take place before<br />

<strong>November</strong> 22.<br />

•Tickets will be available at<br />

THE COUNTRY’S top speller<br />

headed back to her former<br />

classroom to let Selwyn House<br />

pupils in on her secret to success.<br />

St Margaret’s College student<br />

Lucy Jessup won the New<br />

Zealand Spelling Bee in October.<br />

But her love for words started<br />

long before then.<br />

“I’ve always loved reading<br />

and writing from a young age.<br />

By the time I was about fouryears-old<br />

my granddad and I<br />

would read child encyclopaedias<br />

together, and my grandma has<br />

always given me books and<br />

recommendations,” she said.<br />

The classroom at Selwyn was<br />

really where Lucy began to hone<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

NZ’s top speller back<br />

where it all started<br />

the craft. She puts her success<br />

down to reading.<br />

“The best way to improve your<br />

spelling is to read a wide range<br />

of books that you enjoy. If you<br />

enjoy what you are reading and<br />

are interested by it, it is easier to<br />

become interested in the words<br />

themselves.”<br />

Selwyn House team leader for<br />

years 1 to 3, Gill Patterson-Kerr,<br />

said it was fabulous that the year<br />

3 pupils could welcome and<br />

spend time with Lucy.<br />

“All the girls reflected upon<br />

their spelling programme<br />

and could imagine that the<br />

result of their efforts could see<br />

them achieve at this level,” Ms<br />

Patterson-Kerr said.<br />

faces<br />

Burnside-based preschool and nursery,<br />

The Enchanted Garden, was handed over<br />

to new owner-operator Debbie Taylor in<br />

October. She has been in early childhood<br />

management for over seven years and has<br />

three children of her own. Along with the<br />

familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s<br />

vision is to continue the high quality care<br />

and reputation that The Enchanted Garden<br />

has maintained since 1995.<br />

The centre offers children a home away<br />

from home, with a philosophy based on<br />

holistic, individualised care. They engage<br />

higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow<br />

better care and attention. The centre<br />

is staffed with a team of professional<br />

educators and nurturers who are highly<br />

trained and passionate about creating<br />

happy experiences.<br />

The setting is warm and home-like in<br />

nature while the playground and indoor<br />

environment have been designed to allow<br />

children to safely explore and learn with<br />

confidence. This is supported by a strong<br />

curriculum designed for active and exciting<br />

play.<br />

With 10 spaces in their nursery, and<br />

23 spaces in their preschool, the centre<br />

provides the complete early childhood<br />

service. The fluidity of care allows children<br />

to form close bonds while families enjoy<br />

peace of mind.<br />

battle for<br />

extra<br />

Papanui<br />

bus stop<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A BID to get an additional bus stop in<br />

Papanui has hit a road block.<br />

City councillor Mike Davidson asked<br />

staff to investigate the possibility of<br />

another stop on Main North Rd after<br />

fielding calls from elderly residents living<br />

around Northlands Shopping Centre.<br />

The residents told Cr<br />

Davidson they struggle to<br />

walk home from the super<br />

stop outside the mall and<br />

the next bus stop on Main<br />

North Rd is too far.<br />

Cr Davidson suggested<br />

a new stop be put between<br />

the super stop and Vagues<br />

Rd.<br />

He said there is more<br />

Mike<br />

Davidson<br />

than 600m between the current northbound<br />

stops but city council regulation<br />

is 500m.<br />

A new bus stop would replace one<br />

which was removed from outside<br />

Countdown during construction of the<br />

Papanui Parallel cycleway.<br />

However, city council staff recommended<br />

the idea not go ahead.<br />

A staff report said a bus stop between<br />

Grassmere St and Sawyers Arms Rd<br />

would result in most of the on-street<br />

parking being removed, which would be<br />

of concern to shops on the corner.<br />

The report said it would also be unsafe<br />

due to the proximity of the cycleway and<br />

add significant delays to bus times.<br />

“This would be at odds with the primary<br />

purpose of the Main North bus priority<br />

project, which is to improve public<br />

transport reliability along this section of<br />

the network,” the report said.<br />

A stop between Sawyers Arms and<br />

Vagues Rds “would not reduce the current<br />

walk distance” as it could only be<br />

placed outside 107 Main North Rd, the<br />

report said.<br />

Another reason given was that a second<br />

bus stop on the opposite side of the<br />

road would need to be installed.<br />

“As a general note it is not recommended<br />

to install a single bus stop. Bus<br />

stops are installed in pairs,” it said.

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

HOW TO BARBECUE<br />

PERFECT RIBEYE STEAK<br />

Ingredients<br />

Ribeye steaks, at least an 1.5<br />

inches thick<br />

Olive oil<br />

Salt<br />

Fresh ground black pepper<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat your grill to high heat.<br />

If you have a sear burner and a<br />

steak that is more than an inch<br />

thick, get one side of the grill<br />

going at about medium-high in<br />

case you need to cook it through<br />

a little more after the sear.<br />

Remove the ribeye steaks from<br />

their packaging and rub them<br />

down with some olive oil and<br />

then coat a generous amount<br />

of salt and freshly ground black<br />

pepper. The olive oil provides<br />

just enough fat to help the salt<br />

and pepper create a great, caramelised<br />

crust.<br />

Clean and lubricate your grill<br />

grates with some cooking oil on<br />

a rolled up piece of paper towel<br />

(using tongs, of course).<br />

Place the ribeye steaks on the<br />

hottest part of the grill and then<br />

stand ready with the tongs.<br />

At this point, you are on flareup<br />

watch. The fat dripping off of<br />

the steaks could create a flare-up.<br />

If a flare-up occurs and doesn’t<br />

go away in a few seconds, simply<br />

use your tongs to slide the steaks<br />

away from the open flame until<br />

the flame dies down and then<br />

move them back over the heat.<br />

Continue to grill with the lid<br />

open for about 4-6min.<br />

Flip the steaks over onto the<br />

other side, still over the hottest<br />

part of the grill.<br />

Grill the ribeye steaks for an<br />

additional 4-6min on the other<br />

side, lid open, for a medium-rare<br />

delicious steak.<br />

Remove the steaks from the<br />

grill and allow to rest for 5min<br />

before serving. The resting<br />

period is important so that the<br />

juices don’t run out when you cut<br />

into the ribeye, so be patient.<br />

AVOCADO AND<br />

CARAMELISED PINEAPPLE<br />

SALAD<br />

Ingredients<br />

2 Tbsp Brown sugar<br />

½ Pineapple, peeled<br />

2 Tbsp Butter<br />

3 Avocados, firm but ripe<br />

½ Red onion<br />

100g Blue cheese, creamy<br />

½ Red chilli<br />

2 cups Salad leaves, washed<br />

Dressing<br />

1 Orange, zest and juice<br />

1 Chilli, finely chopped<br />

1 tsp Ground cumin<br />

4 Tbsp Avocado oil<br />

1 to taste Salt & freshly ground<br />

pepper<br />

Directions<br />

Prepare all the ingredients.<br />

Core the pineapple, then cut<br />

the flesh into 3cm cubes and<br />

sprinkle with the brown sugar.<br />

Put a frying pan on to heat, then<br />

add the butter. When the butter<br />

is starting to sizzle, add the pineapple<br />

pieces and fry over a gentle<br />

heat until they are caramelised<br />

on all sides.<br />

Cool. Cut the avocados into<br />

2-3cm cubes. Break the cheese<br />

into small pieces and slice the<br />

onion paper-thin. Slice the chilli<br />

into thin pieces. Make the dressing<br />

by shaking all the ingredients<br />

together in a jar.<br />

To serve, line a flat serving<br />

plate with the fresh salad leaves.<br />

Toss the avocado, pineapple,<br />

cheese, chilli and red onion<br />

together on top of the leaves.<br />

Drizzle over the dressing and<br />

serve at once.<br />

Selwyn House and Medbury<br />

team saddled up for second<br />

SPORTS<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

A COMBINED Selwyn House<br />

and Medbury schools team<br />

finished second at the inaugural<br />

primary show jumping event in<br />

the senior section.<br />

The event was held at the<br />

National Equestrian Centre,<br />

McLeans Island.<br />

Meg Glassey, Eva Johnston<br />

and Sophie Thomas, of Selwyn<br />

House, and Harry Burt and<br />

Robbie Cochrane, of Medbury,<br />

rode in two different categories,<br />

which were split up by height.<br />

The team’s mascot – a pug<br />

named Danger Mouse – was also<br />

at the event to support them.<br />

Eva, riding Double Take,<br />

and Harry, riding Kennebrook<br />

Whispering Sand, both competed<br />

in the 65cm section.<br />

Sophie, on Toffee De Lux;<br />

Meg, on Willowmead Playboy;<br />

and Robbie, on Inspector<br />

Gadget, competed in the 80cm<br />

section.<br />

Each rider competed in four<br />

rounds of show jumping, with<br />

the course slightly altering each<br />

time.<br />

SUPPORT: Selwyn House pupil Eva Johnston holds onto the<br />

team mascot Danger Mouse.<br />

The judges take the four best<br />

scores, two from 65cm and two<br />

from 80cm, from each round<br />

and the team with the lowest<br />

penalties is crowned the winner<br />

A team from Villa Maria won<br />

the event.<br />

Team manager Belinda<br />

Thomas said it was great to see<br />

an event like this start up for<br />

young riders.<br />

“It gives the kids, who are<br />

very committed to this sport,<br />

an opportunity to ride for their<br />

schools,” she said.<br />

“The Selwyn House-Medbury<br />

team did extremely well<br />

finishing second, with loads of<br />

clear rounds very close to the<br />

optimum time. Technically,<br />

they rode extremely well. The<br />

top three teams were only three<br />

marks apart. So the competition<br />

was tough.”<br />

of this $122 million project. I have<br />

walked alongside our community<br />

from start to finish on this exciting<br />

project – from the sod-turning<br />

with Simon Bridges in 2015 to<br />

checking on progress with John<br />

Key in 2016 to attending the<br />

open day with my family last<br />

month. Residents joined me at<br />

the open day to walk or cycle<br />

over the bypass before it opened<br />

to traffic and it was great to see<br />

how the bypass fits in with the<br />

other motorway projects as an<br />

integrated traffic solution and<br />

provides better walking and<br />

cycling connections.

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

The team at Physical Sense in<br />

Sydenham sees clients with a<br />

range of symptoms but many<br />

of their middle-aged and senior<br />

clients visit complaining of pain in one or<br />

both hips.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back<br />

muscle could also be the cause, as shown in<br />

the image.<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old<br />

client with severe arthritis who walked with<br />

a stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair,<br />

I cannot put any weight through my right<br />

leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”.<br />

“Within 4 treatments, she was walking with<br />

her stick but without the severe pain,” says<br />

Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors<br />

that made her muscles spasm but the other<br />

was that older people move less and the<br />

flexed position the hip is in when we sit is<br />

particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy<br />

with the fact that although the client was 89<br />

and could have been “given up on” or told to<br />

live with the pain, she made a difference to<br />

Hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

her health and wellbeing.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise program<br />

designed to mobilize and stretch the hip,<br />

strengthen the important core muscles and<br />

increase general strength and balance. They<br />

teach a movement sequence that stretches<br />

the hip in all directions whilst the client is<br />

able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for<br />

older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. If<br />

severe arthritis is the underlying cause, some<br />

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

maintenance therapy may be necessary, but<br />

that is often more affordable and, for older<br />

patients, better tolerated than surgery. In<br />

very few treatments the client will know if<br />

it is going to work for them or not, without<br />

financial commitment.<br />

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<br />

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

Ensuring a safe work place<br />

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />

on to the sports field?<br />

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />

hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />

behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />

such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />

it is located.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

Experience comfort! Experience<br />

technology!!!<br />

Dr Keith Chiang and his team at<br />

Fendalton Dental Surgery are excited to<br />

offer the very latest in dental imaging<br />

technology. They have taken delivery of<br />

several sophisticated dental equipment<br />

over the recent months. All designed<br />

to enhance patient diagnosis, improve<br />

their comfort and safety during dental<br />

procedures by upgrading to the latest<br />

available. Keith believes in constantly<br />

updating himself with recent advances<br />

by attending several courses in NZ<br />

and overseas. “Each course teaches me<br />

something new and makes me revisit<br />

Dentistry with a renewed passion”.<br />

Keith with<br />

the CBCT<br />

The newest arrival is the Cone Beam<br />

Computed Tomograph (CBCT), which<br />

provides a 3D image of the patient’s<br />

jaws and teeth through the latest digital<br />

imaging technology. As Keith explains,<br />

the current digital X-rays shows only<br />

a 2D image. The image is crisper but<br />

it sometimes leaves a few questions<br />

unanswered. Now with the complete 3D<br />

technology, he is able to have a much<br />

better understanding of problems in<br />

the patient’s mouth. “It’s a huge game<br />

changer and takes diagnostic imaging<br />

to a totally different level. It’s like having<br />

Superman’s extra pair of eyes to help with<br />

the diagnosis,” he says. “And it saves time<br />

as patients do not have to be referred<br />

elsewhere for the scans as we have the<br />

CBCT machine in our practice and the<br />

scan costs cheaper comparatively too”.<br />

The Surgery has also acquired a stateof-the-art<br />

patient sedation monitoring<br />

system, Capnograph, which is used for<br />

patients under IV sedation. Surgical or<br />

Dental treatment under IV sedation is an<br />

area of special interest for Keith, who is<br />

a dental surgeon, and he has carried out<br />

more than 1800 IV procedures since 2008.<br />

“Patient safety is our utmost priority when<br />

they are under sedation. Our Capnograph<br />

monitors their vital signs namely the<br />

respiratory gaseous exchange of oxygen<br />

and carbon dioxide levels, heart rate and<br />

Non-invasive intermittent blood pressure<br />

throughout the procedure. This not only<br />

benefits the patient, but also gives the<br />

dentist a sense of reassurance.”<br />

Associate dentist, Dr Zohnia McNeill<br />

has a keen focus in cosmetic and<br />

restorative dentistry, restoring the smile<br />

for people of all ages and from all walks<br />

of life. She shares the same passion for<br />

dentistry and is happy to put a smile<br />

back on the patients face. Oral Health<br />

Therapist, Amy Lee is dedicated to<br />

looking after the Oral hygiene of the<br />

patients. Her role involves treating gum<br />

diseases, educate people about care of<br />

The Fendalton Dental team<br />

their teeth and gums to help prevent oral<br />

diseases and maintain good oral health as<br />

well as overall general health.<br />

The Fendalton Dental Surgery<br />

provides General dental services with<br />

a focus on Surgical and Restorative<br />

Dentistry. The team warmly welcomes<br />

you to enjoy the friendly environment<br />

and the experience the new technology<br />

they provide. The Surgery is located<br />

on the high-profile corner of Idris and<br />

Glandovey roads. For an appointment<br />
