EASTERN EVACUEES: Some eastern suburbs residents last week waited in traffic for more than two hours to evacuate from their homes. Canterbury University 

professor of geography and transport lecturer Simon Kingham (above) said building more bridges across the Avon River may not be the best solution.

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

BUILDING MORE bridges 

across the Avon River may 

not be the answer to solving 

transport issues in future 

tsunami evacuations. 

Comments on the Rise Up 

Christchurch Facebook page 

showed the majority of the 

public wanted to see more 

bridges built to avoid traffic 

bottlenecks that were seen 

during the evacuation. 

But Canterbury University 

professor of geography and 

transport lecturer Simon 

Kingham said building 

more bridges may seem like 

House 

of 

Hearing 

a good idea, but the cost of 

building them needs to be 

compared to how much use they 

would get. 

“Is the benefit worth the cost? 

You have to work out how often 

you’re actually going to need and 

use it. I’ve been here for 15 years 

and in that time we haven’t had 

the need for another one,” he 

said. 

After last week’s 7.8 magnitude 

earthquake, eastern suburbs residents 

living within a kilometre 

of the shoreline were evacuated 

in the early hours of Monday 

morning. 

But many were forced to wait 

in queues of traffic for up to two

hours trying to evacuate inland 

or to high ground. 

Canterbury University senior 

lecturer of hazards and disaster 

management Dr Thomas Wilson 

said transport was “a key problem” 

that was highlighted by 

eastern residents in last week’s 

evacuation. 

“The practical reality is that 

both [New Brighton and Southshore] 

have limited egress routes 

for vehicles in particular. If 

everyone jumps in their cars and 

goes at the same time you’re going 

to have major bottlenecks,” 

he said. 

Professor Kingham suggested 

instead residents should cycle, 

walk or car pool in the next 

event. 

“The irony then is if we have 

an earthquake that is big enough 

to cause a tsunami there’s a reasonable 

chance the bridges will 

be damaged anyway. So what we 

found after the last earthquake 

was that people who walked or 

cycled out, not necessarily faster, 

but they got out more successfully,” 

he said. 

He said another potential 

fix was a pedestrian bridge 

stretching from Southshore over 

the spit to either Redcliffs or 

Sumner. The idea was originally 

mooted in 2014.

PEGASUS POST 

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News.......................................3, 5 

IT HAS been just over a week 

since many coastal residents 

were evacuated due to a tsunami 

risk after the 7.8 magnitude 

earthquake. 

It took up to two hours for 

many residents streaming out of 

coastal suburbs to evacuate. 

Three main routes out, thousands 

of people – no matter how 

you do the maths, it does not 

work. 

So how do we solve this? It is a 

given now that many of us, and 

I include myself in this as I was 

grossly under prepared, should 

trust our guts, evacuate and not 

wait for the official word. 

But in terms of infrastructure, 

should we build more bridges 

across the Avon River to aid 

evacuations? Reporter Fraser 

Walker-Pierce talks to a transport 

expert on the front page regarding 

this.

QE II sports hub proposed 

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

THE controversial QE II Park 

site may get another facility 

to add to the two schools and 

community recreation centre 

already planned. 

Parklands United Sports 

Club, with the Celebration 

Lions Trust, wants to put a 

$5 million community sports 

hub onto the site, including 

plans for a 2500 spectator 

grandstand. 

This will be the second 

major venture for Celebration 

Lions Trust. In June, construction 

began on its multipurpose 

indoor sports centre 

on Pages Rd. 

Since the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, the recreation 

centre and stadium have been 

demolished and controversy 

has surrounded the site’s future. 

Firstly with the Eastern 

Recreation and Sports Centre 

and then with the Ministry 

of Education’s co-location 

of Shirley Boys’ High and 

Avonside Girls’ High schools 

on the site. 

Previously, Pegasus Post 

reported the community’s 

frustration over the Eastern 


losing a 50m pool. They said 

PLANNING AHEAD: A potential design for a $5 million 

sports hub in QE II Park. The building at the bottom right 

is the Eastern Recreation and Sports Centre with the 

proposed grandstand in the middle.

the centre was being pushed 

to the back of the park when it 

was announced the two high 

schools would be co-located. 

Project co-ordinators Corey 

Watkinson, of Celebration 

Lions, and Parklands United 

Sports Club president Peter 

Skinley last week updated 

the Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board about their 

plans to build two artificial 

sports pitches, a grandstand, 

as well as changing rooms and 

a parking space for cars at the 

park around where the athletics 

track used to be. 

Keep QE II in the East 

chairwoman Jo Zervos said 

she would be talking to Mr 

Watkinson in the future about 

some “small concerns” the 

group had over car parking 

and other planned facilities. 

Mr Watkinson said he was 

hopeful that partnerships 

could be made with the other 

facilities. 

“We’re hoping to strike 

up significant partnerships 

with the schools. The Eastern 


is only an indoor centre with 

pools and a gym complex. 

What we’re proposing . . . is 

totally complementary,” he

said. 

Mr Skinley said the hub 

would allow Parklands football 

sides to train later in the 

evening and use the artificial 

pitches as first team home 

grounds. 

Celebration Lions and 

Parklands United Sports Club 

hope the project will “bring 

back” a sporting hub to QE II 

that was lost in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

“We would have rugby, 

league, football, touch, tag 

football, anything that can 

happen on an artificial ground 

really . . . it’d be a home 

ground for Parklands United, 

their football sides, and also 

a home base for the Lions 

Sports Trust,” Mr Watkinson 

said. 

Last week the city council 

announced that a project was 

underway to move asbestos 

containing material from QE 

II Park to Kate Valley.

We said: 

Were you evacuated? How do you 

think it went? 

Tsunami systems will be reviewed 

by the city council after Monday 

morning’s evacuation processes 

were widely criticised by residents. 

Some eastern residents queued 

in traffic for up to two hours trying 

to evacuate the area 

last Monday morning. 

You said: 

Lachlan Marshall – If 

everyone started evacuating 

right when they felt the 

shaking like they are supposed 

to, as the sirens most 

likely don’t get set off for a 

locally generated tsunami, 

then everyone would get out 

in time. Why has no one read the tsunami 

risk management plan on the council 

website? 

Beth Hickland – I’m not sure why 

you’re reporting it as hours? I not only 

have friends who made it to my house 

up the hill in about 20min from New 

Brighton, but I also watched all the cars 

exiting New Brighton from up at Mt Pleasant 

and the cars were flowing and all was 

pretty much completely cleared in under 

an hour. Where are you talking about? 

Lynley Ward – Seriously? 

Be prepared . . . it’s not like 

we haven’t been given the information. 

Have a plan. Don’t 

for one minute think you’ll 

have your wits about you when 

you’re in the midst of a disaster. 

Nathan Fletcher – Civil 

Defence needs to get its act 

together it’s not good when foreign 

news media are announcing 

tsunamis and evacuation 

noticed on live and our local agencies and 

media are saying they we don’t all I can 

say thank God it wasn’t a major tsunami. 

Recently 

Dr Steve Heap examined 20 week old 

Beagle puppy called “Penny”, who 

presented as a referral with a painful, 

partially closed right eye. Penny had 

unfortunately been scratched in the eye 

by a slightly grumpy older resident cat. 

Steve diagnosed a cataract in this eye, 

with phacouveitis and serous glaucoma all 

in a little puppy. Glaucoma is when there 

is increased intraocular pressure causing 

pain and discomfort. Steve had discussed 

with the owners that this right eye had a 

hopeless prognosis for vision. Topical eye 

medications were instigated to control 

the pain and inflammation and rising 

pressure in the eye. Steve also discussed 

that if these medications didn’t hold this 

condition, Penny’s eye would need to be 

enucleated. Pretty quickly it was noticed 

that the right eye had deteriorated 

beyond medical therapy. Enucleation ( 

removal) of the eye and placement of an 

intrascleral prosthesis ( glass bead eye) 

was surgically undertaken to relieve Penny 

from a life of medication and pain. 

The surgery was a success and 4 weeks 

on, Penny is a happy, active, normal wee 

puppy with a prosthetic right eye and 

normal vision out of the left eye. 

Another interesting ophthalmology case 

for Dr Steve Heap came from the SPCA. 

A 5 month old stray sneezing kitten was 

examined by Steve and found to have 

no lateral upper eyelids in both the left 

and right eyes, a condition called Bilateral 

Upper Lateral Eyelid Agenisis. As a result 

the eyes were 

sore, dry and 

constantly irritated 

by hair rubbing 

on the cornea 

(the sensitive clear 

window of the 

eye). 

Steve trialled 

lubricants 

and antibiotic 

ointments in the eyes in the hope 

the eyes would be comfortable long 

term, but this wasn’t the case. The kitten 

was taken to surgery and Steve carefully 

and intricately created upper eyelids 

by harvesting strips of skin taken from 

below the lower lids. All in all a successful 

outcome for this wee kitten who will 

be rehomed and avoid a lifetime of 

medication. 

Zara Woolfe – We left nearly an hour 

before the sirens, it was common sense to 

go, really we had no issues with traffic or 

getting out and there were several other 

cars leaving out of Bridge St as well at that 

time. 

Melanie Manning – I haven’t read 

the action plan as I don’t live anywhere 

near the coast. But I’m thinking even if 

everyone jumped in the cars at 12.10am 

wouldn’t the traffic issue be the same as 

when they waited for the sirens to go off? 

And why should they not go off for a local 

quake? 

Mark Docherty – Why not adopt the 

procedure of an aircraft evacuation. Before 

you depart you get a card and a demo on 

the closest exit. We should have updates 

in the advert on radio and TV with clear 

instructions on what route you can take 

from your zone. 

Heidi Meinzer - Aren’t we told if have 

trouble standing during an earthquake 

to leave? After the shaking had stopped, 

checked on neighbours, we were packing 

up and getting out. We shouldn’t have to 

be told to leave. We left way before the 

sirens and what not. 

Not all pets with enucleated eyes need to 

have prosthetics placed. Steve will often 

enucleate an eye and then stitch the lids 

together. This ends up cosmetically looking 

fine. Due to Penny’s very young age, her 

owners felt a prosthetic eye would look 

more pleasing on their cute wee pup. 

This cute owl was bought into Steve 

recently due to opacities noted on its 

corneas affecting its’ ability to see clearly. 

Steve isn’t sure of the cause but is trialling 

antibiotic drops as he suspects an 

infective cause.

Quake looters brag online 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

A GROUP of teenagers are 

believed to have looted a 

string of New Brighton homes 

for alcohol and then posted 

about it on social media. 

Several New Brighton 

residents returned to their 

homes after being evacuated 

last week to find looters had 

been through their properties. 

Screenshots of a post on 

Facebook by a teenage girl, 

who appears to be boasting 

about stealing more than 60 

bottles of alcohol, have been 

passed on to the police. 

The teenager has since 

deleted her Facebook profile. 

Bower Ave resident Darryl 

Jones said his family were left 

feeling violated and angry 

when they discovered the 

thefts. 

He discovered nine bottles 

of spirits, which he had been 

given for his birthday over 

the weekend, had been stolen 

from his garage, and someone 

had attempted to syphon fuel 

out of his car. 

They stayed with a family 

member overnight after they 

evacuated in the early hours of 

last Monday morning. 

They returned to their home 

that day, but did not discover 

the theft of the alcohol until 

Tuesday, when Mr Jones went 

to put something away in his 

garage. 

“Alcohol is alcohol, it’s not 

the end of the world, but it’s 

the invasion of privacy,” he 

said. 

“We’re pretty shaken up by 

everything. The earthquake 

was one thing, then the 

tsunami warning was next 

level, but then to discover your 

birthday presents have been 

pinched.” 

They reported the theft to 

the police, and were told a 

police officer would visit to try 

to collect fingerprints. 

When he posted about the 

thefts on Facebook, other 

users replied with screenshots 

of the teenagers they believed 

were responsible. 

New Brighton Senior 

Sergeant Dave Robertson said 

there had been six reported 

burglaries from homes along 

the coast while families were 

evacuated. 

He said they were following 

up several leads, including the 

social media posts and reports 

from neighbours who believed 

they had seen the looters. 

“These people aren’t the 

SHAMELESS: One of the Facebook posts by teenagers 

believed to have been involved in the looting. 

brightest in the world, so often 

they will brag to their friends 

about what they’ve done and 

their friends will be appalled 

and come to us,” he said. 

The victims of the break-ins 

included the Mill family, who 

had their truck, electronics 

and their daughter’s $5000 

hearing aid device stolen while 

they were evacuated. 

A huge response from the 

community has raised almost 

$50,000 for the family, which 

they have pledged to share 

with other looting victims.

Jo Hayes National List MP based in Christchurch East 

East stands strong through shakes 

As I write this newsletter, we’re all still a little bit shaken by 

the 12.02am earthquake on Monday 14 November. 

We know only-too-well in Christchurch East what it’s like to 

be devastated by Mother Nature, and the importance of 

being kind, supportive and looking out for our neighbours. 

It’s angering to know that opportunistic thieves took 

advantage of the evacuation from Christchurch’s coastal 

areas, but wonderful to hear of and to see the outpouring 

of assistance that’s come in for those most in need in the 

electorate and in North Canterbury. 

“We can be proud of who we are. 

At the same time though, let’s remain 

vigilant, take care and be safe.” 

What’s happening 

It’s been a 

busy month in 

Christchurch 

East. 

I was pleased 

to attend the 

opening of 

Christchurch’s 

biggest sensory 

garden in the 

New Brighton 

Community 

Garden at 

Rawhiti Domain, complete with Faerie Picnic. 

Well done Kelly Dugan for creating a garden that gives 

children, including those with special needs, the chance 

to explore their senses through interaction with nature. 

I also got to head along to the Shirley community’s Shine 

Festival, a smoke-free event in McFarlane Park organised 

by Shirley Community Trust. It was great to have the 

opportunity to meet members of the community and chat. 

Special guest at Super Seniors 

In exciting news, the area’s Super Seniors’ Group has 

a special speaker lined up for its afternoon tea on 28 

November: the speaker of the house, Right Hon. David 

Carter. Contact my office if you would like to attend. 

I’m Jo Hayes, National’s list MP based in Christchurch East. 

I love being a part of this wonderful, tight-knit Christchurch East 

community. There’s so much going on that I just want to share a few 

highlights with you of what our community and Government are 

working on achieving together. 

Fireworks extravaganza! 

I love being a part 

of the atmosphere 

and the excitement 

down at New 

Brighton on Guy 

Fawkes night. It was 

good to see so many 

families out enjoying 

the festivities. The 

fireworks display did 

not disappoint! 

Hot water salt pools 

It’s good news that the new hot salt water pool facility and 

upgrade/expansion of the existing whale pool play area in New 

Brighton is on the agenda again, and even better that more than 

700 residents engaged in feedback for the design. 

This will be a superb facility for Christchurch East and a key project 

in the revitalisation of New Brighton. 

Bus clinics 

My mobile clinics continue to attract constituents who bring a 

variety of issues forward for me to help resolve. I’d love to see you 

there, so check out the times and dates opposite. 

Ground to be broken at QEII 

It’s going to be an exciting day when dirt is finally turned on 

the iconic QEII Park site next month for the eagerly awaited 

4573sqm swimming and fitness amenities. 

This is a real win for patient Christchurch East residents, who 

can look forward to leisure and training pools, as well as 

a hydroslide, water adventure playground, steamroom and 

sauna, fitness centre and a cafe. 

Influential woman 

Finally, I would like to congratulate Oakley Brown Pharmacy 

Group CEO Carolyn Oakley-Brown on being a finalist in the 

Women of Influence awards in the business enterprise category. 

You may have met Carolyn down at New Brighton Pharmacy, 

which she owns. 

Let’s talk 

Please come along and see me. I’ll be 

parked in my van on Tuesday 22nd 

November at: 

1) Preston`s subdivision 

By Marshlands School 

on Te Korari Street 

Time: 8.30 - 9.30am 

2) Parklands 

Outside sports field, 

opposite shopping centre 

Time: 10-11am 

3) Shirley

Grounds, New Brighton Road 

Time: 11.30am -12.30pm 

4) New Brighton

Time: 12.45 - 1.45pm 

5) Wainoni 

Marae on Pages Road (out the front) 

Time: 2-3pm 

6) Richmond 

Stanmore Road, outside of the park 

and opposite New World 

Time: 3.30-4.30pm 

Please phone our office on

Clean dentures vital 

for healthy gums 

For those with dentures, keeping them clean and well maintained is vital for the 

health of your gum tissues, says Ryan Carlton of Dentures Plus in Innes Road. 

He and his team of clinicians provide services for full 

and partial dentures – from making and fitting them, 

follow-up care, through to repairs and relining and a full 

range of denture cleaning products. 

These include denture cleaners, brushes and denture 

baths for soaking the dentures. 

One product Ryan particularly recommends is Caldent 

denture cleaner, as it is non-abrasive and effectively 

removes stains, calculus and plaque. 

“It works wonders,” he says. “Years of stains 

and plaque can be removed with this product.” 

Customers don’t have to make a special trip 

to Dentures Plus to purchase it, they can order 

it through the Dentures Plus website, www. 

denturesplus.co.nz, for delivery anywhere in 

Christchurch and throughout the country, Ryan 

says. 

People may need to get full or partial dentures 

for various reasons, such as accidents or tooth 

decay, and Ryan and his two other clinicians, 

Nicole Yee and Thomas Gu, will ensure the 

whole process goes as smoothly as possible. 

“We provide the right treatment plan and 

solution for our patients. Once we have seen them, we 

make up the dentures before their appointment with the 

dentist for the extraction,” Ryan says. 

“After the teeth are removed, the dentures are fitted 

immediately – this gives much better results.” 

A follow-up appointment after a few months will enable 

the clinician to check that the dentures are fitting correctly 

and make any necessary adjustments. 

Ryan also advises that people with existing dentures 

should have them checked every two to three years to 

make sure they are not starting to wear, which could cause 

discomfort in the future. A free, no-obligation check-up 

will determine if the dentures need some attention, or 

even replacing. 

Dentures Plus, 396 Innes Road, is open Monday to 

Thursday 8am-5pm and Friday 8am-2pm. To make an 

appointment phone 385 5517. 

For the Christmas break they will close on Friday, 

December 23 and re-open on Wednesday, January 4.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Cramping pain in my 

leg when I try to walk 

Intermittent Claudication 

This kind of cramping (sometimes called 

“window -shopping legs”) is triggered by 

normal exertion of the leg muscles and 

is typically caused by obstruction of the 

arteries. Sufferers have to find themselves a 

regular excuse to stop for a while to allow 

the blood flow to reach the cramped up 

muscles. 

The official name for this condition is 

Intermittent Claudication. Claudication is 

pain and/or cramping in the lower leg due 

to inadequate blood flow to the muscles. 

The pain usually causes the person to 

limp. The word “claudication” comes from 

the Latin “claudicare” meaning to limp. 

Claudication typically is felt while walking, 

and subsides with rest. It is commonly 

referred to as “intermittent” claudication 

because it comes and goes with exertion 

and rest. In severe claudication, the pain is 

also felt at rest. 

It is a painful condition that really 

“cramps people’s lifestyle”. The pain free 

walking distance tends to get shorter as the 

condition progresses. If you suffer from 

this condition it is crucial to understand 

that the body actually finds a way to 

increase the blood flow to the legs IF 

THE DEMAND is there. It is like every 

thing in the body……..”use it or lose it”. 

Unfortunately many people with this 

condition end up in a vicious cycle; the 

pain stops the walking, and the lack of 

walking increases the problem. 

Exercise is recommended to greatly 

reduce symptoms and to increase 

pain free walking distance. Eight years 

ago on request of the vascular nurse 

in Christchurch hospital, Physical 

Sense started a two weekly circuit for 

Intermittent Claudication patients. The 

pilot program started with 50 clients. 

• 82% of all clients, experienced 

improvement in their walking distance 

• Quite a number of clients doubled their 

walking distance, for some it even became 

limitless. 

• After a year 88% of clients were still active 

• There was an exceptionally low dropout 

rate of only 8% 

• The 18% who did not notice a difference 

in relation to their walking distance still 

enjoyed all the other benefits of exercise 

(to heart, lungs, sugar levels, bone health, 

balance and mood etc.) 

People always start in a group, so they 

get the benefit of a guided introduction to 

more exercise and the use of the gym. In 

the groups we are looking at 50-80+ year 

olds that are giving their legs a workout 

by using steppers, treadmills, stationary 

bikes and other exercise stations. That way 

they also benefit from working out with 

people who suffer the same problems. “It 

is amazing the support and wisdom people 

receive from each other” Ietje says. In this 

“circuit setup” every client can work in 

their own tempo, and people simply sit 

down and have a rest when the “cramping 

in the leg” becomes too much. Some 

people stay in the group and some choose 

to use the gym by themselves to keep 

on top of their claudication. 

At Physical Sense they have been 

going strong with the Intermittent 

Claudication class ever since the first 

class eight years ago. 

You can try the classes for FREE. If 

you want to continue and you have 

WINZ support, WINZ usually pays 

for the classes (as WINZ is VERY 

supportive of these classes).

at Physical Sense and the centre for Senior Well-being) explains. Phone 377 2577.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Taking the 

pain out of 

Christmas 

If you, or someone you know, suffers 

from painful arthritis, night cramps or 

swollen feet and hands, a gift of an Aircycle 

could be just the Christmas present you are 

looking for. It’s small enough to post and 

simple to use. 

This NZ invention has helped thousands 

of New Zealanders for years. 

“My leg muscles are so much stronger 

and my circulation greatly improved.” 

reported a 93 year old. “ And I can sleep 

the night undisturbed by cramps – a real 

bonus!” . 

It’s a great circulation booster, reduces 

swollen ankles, helps relieve joint and 

muscle pain, strengthen leg muscles to 

support joints and improve balance and 

mobility. 

“After a 26 hour flight, I skipped off the 

plane with no ankle swelling”, said Tess 

Rowley. 

An Aircycle could be the best present 

you buy this year – not only taking the 

pain out of Christmas but giving someone 

lasting health benefits and years of pain 

relief. 

Aircycles have a lifetime guarantee, 

are available from pharmacies, Diabetes 

Christchurch, Aspire Canterbury and More 

Mobility. 

For more information visit 

www.aircycle.co.nz , phone 04 569 5013 or 

post $39.90 (p&p included) to Aircycle, 

PO Box 45105, Waterloo, Lower Hutt. 

The importance of 

good blood 

pressure! 

Blood Pressure is an indicator 

of cardiovascular as well as 

overall health. Healthy blood 

flow is vital for a healthy body 

as the blood plasma transports 

nutrients, hormones, metabolic 

waste, oxygen and CO2 

throughout the body. An area in 

the brain keeps check on blood 

flow to ensure health of all cells 

and the organs they make up. If 

blood flow is reduced the brain 

will try to normalise blood flow 

by adjusting the heart strength, 

frequency (Pulse Rate) as well 

as the width of blood vessels all 

via the nervous system. Over 

a period of time the blood 

pressure may keep increasing 

due to the deterioration of 

blood flow. A higher B/P is 

not ideal and is considered a 

major risk factor for strokes, 

aneurysm, organ failure and 

heart failure. Even moderate 

elevation of B/P is considered 

a major reason for shorter life 

expectancy. If we can maintain 

our B/P in the normal range 

our overall health will be 

improved. Systolic B/P (The 

upper figure) is when the heart 

contracts and pushes blood

around the body. Ideally at rest 

this should be between 100 

to 120. The diastolic B/P (The 

lower figure) is the pressure in 

the arteries between beats and 

ideally at rest this should be 

between 60 to 70. 

It has been found in around 

90% of cases high blood 

pressure is caused by an 

increase in the resistance to 

blood flow in the blood vessels. 

It is believed inflammation and 

stiffness of the blood vessels are 

major reasons for this increased 

resistance. Checking our blood 

pressure on a regular basis 

allows us to adjust our diet and 

lifestyle and see the benefits in 

our B/P readings.

PEGASUS POST 

Marine 

Simon Cooper from the Cooper’s strip club 

By Dave Hare, 

Coopers was started by Simon Cooper in the early 

80’s. 

At that time, Simon was a cabinet maker with a 

boutique shop in Wellington making and restoring 

fine furniture. 

Disillusioned with the standard of current paint 

strippers and with a flair for chemistry, Simon set 

about making a stripper that was easy to use and 

actually worked. 

I asked him what on earth possessed him to try and 

change the norm. 

“I was sick of how difficult it 

was to use the current 

strippers, and knew sanding 

was a complete waste of 

time,” Simon says. 

“Why sand when the person 

who made the item, sanded 

it in the first place? I was 

determined to make a 

product that was easy to use 

and made sanding obsolete.” 

Simon is Kiwi-born and bred 

and as a dairy farmer’s son 

he was taught at a young age 

to work things out, rather 

than to accept things as they 

are. 

At high school he developed 

a passion for working with 

wood and his love of fine 

furniture began. 

Once Simon developed his 

own stripper, the word got 

out and today, over 30 years 

later, Simon’s products and 

methods are now known as 

Cooper’s Strip Club; a 

complete DIY restoration 

system, family owned and operated, available 

throughout New Zealand and Australia. 

Simon says Cooper’s is different to conventional 

strippers in so many ways. The main ones being 

that it will strip any finish from any surface, 

without the need for sanding. 

“I am very proud of it and the results it has 

achieved,” he says. 

With Cooper’s having been used on well over 

100,000 homes, Simon says anyone can easily strip 

anything covered in paint or varnish, whether the 

finish is interior or exterior. Coopers is regularly 

used on antique furniture, doors, windows, 

detailed mouldings, floor glue, decks, painted 

concrete or brick, your special project car or boat, 

even the weatherboards baked by the sun for over 

100 years. 

I also asked Simon about the current problems 

related to safe lead removal. Simon says. 

“Because there is no lead dust created through 

sanding, or lead vapour generated by heat guns, 

lead poisoning is no longer a concern” 

I asked Simon what the Stripping Expo is all about 

and he said, “The Stripping Expo is a DIY paint and 

varnish stripping exhibition travelling regionally 

throughout New Zealand.” 

“The purpose of the Stripping Expo is to show 

Cooper’s stripping any paint or varnish from any 

surface.” 

Simon says our next expo is at the Bridge Club in 

Christchurch, “We have on exhibition some 

impressive before and after displays, as well as 

practical one on one demonstrations.” 

Come and meet the family, chat to us about your 

project, bring along some photos of what you want 

to strip and we’ll select a similar old piece of paint 

or varnish to strip with you.” But what Simon really 

wants you to do is actually bring along your 

project, or a piece of it, no matter how big or small. 

bring a chair, a drawer, unscrew a window sash, a 

door, a piece of moulding or even your project car 

or boat and they will really show you what 

Cooper’s is capable of doing. 

“The hall has ample parking and 

easy access so impress us with 

what you bring along”

Testimonial: 

Dear Coopers 

After using your products I cannot believe I have 

the same windows, they look totally revitalised, 

almost alive. I would recommend Cooper’s to 

anyone, any day.
