New mower 

for red zone 

volunteer 

• By Sarla Donovan 

BRYAN FAIRBAIRN’S pretty 

happy with his new $9000 mower. 

He maintains 9ha of red zone 

land and this is the third mower 

he’s been through since starting 

more than three years ago. 

“I’ve gone up to a 54in John 

Deere. I wanted the next size up 

but it’s $20,000 and we’re retired 

so I’ve got to be reasonable.” 

Mr Fairbairn and his wife Colleen 

spend hours each day mowing 

and tidying the land along 

New Brighton Rd so it looks like 

a park.

School 

zones 

could limit 

single-sex 

learning 


THE PRINCIPALS of Shirley 

Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ High 

Schools are concerned that 

families across the east retain the 

choice of a single-sex education, 

regardless of whether they live in 

the zone. 

The two schools are likely to 

share a zone when they co-locate 

to new premises in 2019. 

Both schools are to be rebuilt 

at QE II Park after their existing 

sites were damaged in the 2011 

earthquakes. 

Their boards are currently 

working with each other and the 

Ministry of Education to try and 

thrash out a new, shared zone. 

Avonside Girls’ High School 

principal Sue Hume said while 

the zone needed to give access to 

those close to the new campus, 

it was important to preserve the 

choice of single-sex education for 

families right across the east. 

She said the school had always 

taken a significant portion of 

students from out of zone. 

“Historically we provide services 

for families in the east and 

we want to continue to give that 

choice to families across the east 

of the city.

BRIGHTON residents have every 

reason to be angry about rubbish 

being dumped on footpaths. 

At a time when the area is looking 

to get out of the doldrums, 

some people are turning Oram 

Ave and nearby Hood, Rodney and 

Shackleton Sts into an eyesore (see 

page 5). 

They’re the couldn’t careless 

types who dump unwanted household 

goods on the footpath in the 

hope someone else will clean it up. 

They’re the sort of people who 

don’t mow their lawns and treat 

their neighbours with contempt. 

So if you happen to see someone 

dumping rubbish on the footpath

Pool allowed to reopen 


THE CENTRAL New Brighton 

School community pool looks 

set to reopen next summer after 

gaining permission to occupy 

the site for the next two years. 

The pool was to be demolished 

after the school merged 

with Freeville and North New 

Brighton schools in 2015. 

The Ministry 

of Education 

wanted to 

demolish the 

pool without 

consulting the 

community, 

which caused 

Tim Baker 

outrage, and 

Strategic Urban 

Rejuvenation Force asked the 

ministry if it could investigate 

whether the pool could be saved. 

It decided keeping the pool 

was viable, but only temporarily 

until the replacement QE II Park 

was completed. 

The SURF Community Trust 

this week received a draft licence 

to occupy from the ministry, 

until April 2019. 

It now needs $20,000 to bring 

the pool up to safety standards 

and expects running costs to be 

around $40,000 a year. 

The trust is also looking for 

volunteers to help maintain and 

run the pool. A yearly family 

pass would cost $150. 

The trust said the pool would 

not be in competition with 

Rawhiti $2 pool as it would have 

different opening hours and a 

different pricing model. 

Coastal-Burwood community 

RAINBOW’S 

END: The 

Central New 

Brighton 

School pool will 

be available 

for community 

use for the 

next two years. 

Groups are 

also looking for 

tenants for nine 

classrooms on 

the old school 

site. 

board member Tim Baker said 

it would be a cost-effective asset 

for the community which would 

be well used. 

“When North New Brighton 

School pool was opened up to 

the community during summer 

months, hundreds of people 

used it every day.” 

Meanwhile, nine empty classrooms 

at Central New Brighton 

School will shortly be available 

for community use. 

ReNew Brighton is asking for 

community groups and individuals 

to register their interest in 

residency at what it is called the 

Old School Community Hub. 

In Brief 

BURWOOD AFC HOME 

Burwood Association Football 

Club will continue using Clare 

Park after its lease was renewed 

by the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board last week. 

Clare Park has been the club’s 

home ground since it was first 

started in 1972. The new lease of 

33 years will be broken into three 

terms of 11 years. 

NEW PUMP STATION 

Close to $2 million will be spent 

fixing one of the city’s major 

pump stations to restore prequake 

capacity and replace ageing 

equipment. The city council said 

the money would maximise the 

life of pump station 205 on New 

Brighton Rd, which provides land 

drainage and flood protection to 

the nearby area by pumping water 

from Horseshoe Lake into the 

Avon River during storm events. 

SHOP FRONT MURALS 

A former tattoo parlour will 

be the first shop front in New 

Brighton to feature windows 

painted with scenes from the 

suburb’s heyday in the 1950s. 

BrighterNewBrighton organiser 

Daniel Manchester came up with 

the idea of covering shop windows 

and doors with scenes of bustling 

activity inside. The first building 

owner gave agreement last week 

and Mr Manchester said he was 

planning to recreate a bike shop.

Veterinary practice 

OUR VISIT TO UC 

DAVIS, CALIFORNIA 

Steve, Isaac and myself recently spent time 

at UC Davis, the #1 Veterinary school in the 

world. For 2 years running it has received 

this huge accolade and when you are 

there you can see why. It operates and is 

the size of a mini CHCH Public hospital. 

They are a teaching hospital as well as 

seeing referral patients and first opinion 

clients. Their specialities include 24/7 

emergency and critical care, cardiology, 

neurology, ophthalmology, 

oncology and surgery. They 

were originally set up to 

see 5500 patients per year, 

last year they saw 50,000 

patients. Everyone was so 

friendly and helpful and 

enthusiastic about being 

part of this college. It had a 

wonderful vibe... Isaac was 

hooked. 

Approximately 140 students 

get accepted yearly in to 

Davis, with around 10% being 

male. It cost about US$45,000 

for tuition( $64000 NZL) 

and then there is living costs on top of 

that. Vet students on average come out 

owing US $135,000. These students have 

spent the previous 4 years obtaining an 

excellent undergraduate degree just to 

get accepted, majoring in science and 

maths. There are 30 colleges of Veterinary 

Medicine in the US and each year about 

3000 students get accepted. About 40% 

of students who apply get accepted 

somewhere. In your 3rd year you start to 

branch off in your area of interest – either 

companion animal, equine, mixed practice 

or production animals. 

After their 4 year degree at Davis, most 

will apply for 1-2 year internship at another 

Veterinary College to further their skills 

in an area they are interested in. Davis 

don’t offer internships. Our freshman 

(first year) guide loves dentistry so her 

plans are to become a specialist in this 

field. After her internship, she then needs 

to apply for a residency at one of the 30 

colleges, which could be anything from 

3-5 years more study!! These are hard to 

come by, and you have to be the best of 

the bunch, although a Vet degree from 

UC Davis stands you in good steed. So to 

be a specialist in your field in the US takes 

between 13-15 years, and the debt these 

students accrue is massive, a few get 

scholarships, but most have to pay. I met a 

vet in her 40’s who still has a student loan. 

Steve spent 2 days tagging along with 

ophthalmology specialists, residents and 

students on rotation. First and second 

year students get at least 2 weeks of 

ophthalmology per year ( 27 years ago 

when I studied at Massey, 1 day was 

dedicated to “eyes”). He really enjoyed the 

collegial discussions on cases, sussing out 

all the latest equipment, chatting to the 

students and doing rounds with them. 

Steve came away pleased with his skills

and 

expertise in 

ophthalmology, 

although a 

few pieces of 

equipment caught 

his eye. 

Isaac and I 

thoroughly 

enjoyed our 3 hour tour of the 

entire faculty. Isaac loved the exotics 

hospital where they house and treat the 

reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles etc. We 

also visited their raptor centre, home to 

rescued birds of prey that can no longer 

see or fly. He also enjoyed watching elbow 

arthroscopy on a Golden Retriever from a 

viewing room. He could see them cutting 

and sucking out torn cartilage from the 

video screen. What amazed me was the 

amount of people in theatre – 9 in all, 

including the chief surgeon, 2 residents, 

3 anesthetists and 4th year students. 

There were so many people milling 

around keenly observing. They do MRI 

and CT here and even have a massive 

MRI machine that can fit a horse into. 

The most expensive patient to date was 

a spoodle who underwent dialysis for 18 

months, visiting the hospital twice weekly 

to have all the toxins removed from her 

blood. Her final account was US$140,000! 

The most expensive piece of equipment 

is a linear accelerator used for radiation 

treatment for cancer patients costing a 

little over 1 million. Apparently one of the 

only surgical procedures NOT performed 

here at Davis is renal transplants as when 

attempted on cats over 10 years ago, 

the survival rate was poor. A handful of 

colleges perform renal transplants in cats 

including the Pennsylvania and Georgia 

College of Vet medicine. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent 

at Davis and I thought how amazing, 

fun and expensive it would be to be a 

student now studying vet medicine at 

UC Davis. The students we met were just 

so absorbed, very happy and grateful to 

be at this world class faculty. I came out 

thinking I am so in the right profession.

TRASHED: Some of the rubbish dumped along 

Oram Ave in New Brighton. 

Rubbish dumping worsens in Brighton 


NEW BRIGHTON residents 

are getting fed up with rubbish 

being dumped on streets. 

Chessa Crow has lived in 

Oram Ave for seven years 

and said the problem was 

getting worse. 

“There are upwards of 

three dumps of rubbish at 

any one time.” 

City council records show 

a big increase in Oram Ave, 

and nearby Hood, Rodney and 

Shackleton Sts, over the past two 

Chessa 

Crow 

years. There were 15 rubbish 

pick-ups in the year to April and 

the same amount the previous 

year, costing the city council 

around $1000, plus 

dump and tonnage 

charges. 

In 2014/15, there were 

only four pick-ups. 

A city council 

spokeswoman said the 

number had “increased 

from a few years 

ago, but are now possibly 

steadying.” 

It costs about $35 to take a 

load to the dump, plus tonnage 

costs of $200 a tonne. 

Mrs Crow said she had never 

caught anyone in the act. 

“I imagine they’re midnight 

marauders,” she said. 

Couches, beds, bikes and 

televisions make regular 

appearances. 

Mrs Crow believed the 

problem could be put down to a 

combination of laziness, the cost 

of taking things to the dump and 

a perception that New Brighton 

is a “derelict place anyway, so 

why not.” 

She used the city council’s 

Snap Send Solve app to report 

incidents, and it usually took 

three to five days to collect the 

dumped rubbish. 

The city council might also 

need to look at alternatives, she 

said. 

“I’m originally from Toronto 

and they have drop-off locations 

where, once a month, you can 

take your televisions or couches 

and it doesn’t cost.” 

The city council spokeswoman 

said there were no plans to 

introduce a kerbside collection.

“I’m down there whenever it’s 

not raining” he said. 

He thinks red zone land should 

be kept tidy and park-like until 

decisions are made on its future. 

“We wanted to make it nice 

for people going past or walking 

through. They often stop and say 

thank you. They appreciate it. 

And people who used to live there 

come back and are very grateful. 

They left because they had to but 

they come back because they have 

connections to the area, they got 

married or planted a special tree 

there.” 

The city council pays for his fuel 

but nothing else. 

“We’re not allowed to put soil 

down or plant anything.” 

Burwood ward city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone asked city 

council staff in April if they could 

provide Mr and Mrs Fairbairn 

with one red and four green waste 

bins to assist them in their work. 

He is still waiting to hear back 

on whether this is possible. 

Mr Fairbairn, 69, said the work 

kept him out of his wife’s hair. “I 

don’t play golf or go to the pub. It 

gives me an awful lot of comfort 

and pleasure.”

Personalising learning 

A recent 

educational 

conference 

in Singapore 

led 

Chisnallwood 

Intermediate 

school 

principal 

Justin Fields to reflect on 

the future of learning 

During the last week of term 

1, I went to Singapore with the 

Canterbury intermediate principals 

to visit some local schools 

and attend an international 

learning conference. 

In one of my recent newsletters 

I highlighted a visit we had 

from Princess Elizabeth School 

in Singapore and I was able to 

reciprocate and visit them. 

The principal and staff who 

visited Chisnallwood told me 

that they were extremely impressed 

by how we personalise 

the learning, our extension 

classes, our collaborative 

teaching practices, the new 

mechatronics/electronics/robotics 

programme and the fact 

that we offer computer science. 

Education in Singapore is very 

traditional with large class sizes, 

students sitting in rows and 

lessons being predominantly 

teacher-led. 

I was surprised by the lack of 

IT use in classrooms. The great 

news is they want to change, but 

the burning question for them 

is how? 

I believe this is one of the reasons 

why Singapore hosted the 

international conference – they 

wanted to challenge the status 

quo and do things differently. 

This is not to say that their 

system is broken, but rather that 

they want to do things better for 

the students, to nurture creativity 

and personalise the learning. 

The reflections for me were 

firstly, that no matter where you 

are in the world, we all want the 

best for our students; secondly, 

that what we are doing in New 

Zealand and particularly at 

Chisnallwood is what we need 

to be doing, and finally, that 

networking and sharing ideas 

improves outcomes for all. 

It was an enlightening 

trip and I look forward to 

implementing the conference 

learnings as “we continue to 

challenge the margins of time 

and explore what is beyond” at 

Chisnallwood. Kia Kaha 

FLAME FILES 

Keep cooking under 

control in the kitchen 

• Mark Thomas, fire risk 

management officer 

I KNOW I’ve repeated the advice 

about looking when cooking 

dozens of times over the years 

and it looks very much like it’s 

never going to cease completely. 

But every now and then I 

despair a bit. 

Like on Wednesday when 

within three-and-a-half-hours 

fire trucks responded to three 

different cooking incidents. 

A house completely filled with 

smoke from a forgotten pie in 

the microwave in Sockburn was 

followed by a pot on the stove, 

again filling the house in Kotare 

St and a further incident in 

Bryndwr where smoke inhalation 

was the result for the elderly 

occupants. 

Any of these could have been 

much worse. 

A life or a house gone. 

But all of them were preventable. 

Stay in the kitchen. 

The smell of burning in your 

home can be frightening for 

anyone. 

More so if you’re blind.

The occupant of a house in 

Addington thankfully did the 

exact right thing, again on 

Wednesday, by phoning 111 

and having the local crew there 

within minutes. 

Turned out to be a tea towel 

smouldering on an element. 

The potential here was a bit 

frightening. 

I’ve not mentioned arson here 

for a long time. 

It’s still occurring but the 

removal of most of the empty 

houses in the red zone has made 

it less visible or newsworthy. 

A drum of diesel spread along 

the road in the early hours last 

Sunday in Wigram was lit and 

left by whatever morons thought 

it was clever. 

They’re still out there. As stupid

It is made up of members 

from throughout the 

country, including two from 

Christchurch. 

Carolyn Duggan, L’Attitude 

Quartet’s tenor, and Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor, who sings 

the bass, both belong to the 

Christchurch City Chorus. 

The group’s other members 

are Patrice Driver, baritone, 

of the Nelson Bays Harmony 

Chorus, and Toni Griffin, lead 

singer, from the Bella A Cappella 

Chrous in Keri Keri. 

While getting together is 

a challenge, the women have 

achieved success through a 

passion for singing, dedication 

to independent vocal work and 

monthly weekend rehearsals. 

L’Attitude Quartet will 

represent New Zealand at the 

International Sweet Adeline 

Quartet Competition in Las 

Vegas in October.

PEGASUS POST 

Our People 

Principal of change management 

Banks Avenue 

School principal 

Toni Burnside 

recently announced 

the school’s move 

to a new site in 2020. 

She talks to Sarla 

Donovan about 

managing change 

and her time as a 

volunteer medic in 

India. 

Are you Christchurch born 

and bred? 

I grew up in Aranui, went to 

Aranui Primary, Chisnallwood 

Intermediate and then Aranui 

High, so my whole life I’ve lived 

in the east side and worked here 

as well. I feel like New Brighton/ 

Northshore is a bit of a secret. It 

doesn’t have the best reputation 

property-wise but we’ve got the 

beach behind us, the forest next 

to us and it’s just magical. So I’ve 

never wanted to go to any other 

part of the city. 

You were principal at Central 

New Brighton School during 

the merger with Freeville and 

North New Brighton schools. 

What was that like? 

That was gutting for the community 

because the school was 

really starting to hum – it had a 

lovely family feel to it. We only 

had about 130 children, there 

was great achievement, lots of 

lovely social things happening 

for the children, we had a really 

great bunch of families who 

were committed to the school. 

You could see that we were on a 

good journey so it was absolutely 

heart-wrenching, especially 

because the community had already 

been through so much and 

the school was pivotal in keeping 

them together and giving them 

that sense of normality. So it was 

the wrong thing at the wrong 

time for the community. 

You also lost your home after 

the quakes and now you’re 

TEACHER: Toni Burnside, principal at Banks Avenue School,

managing the rebuild of Banks 

Avenue School. You must be 

getting good at managing 

change? 

It’s actually something I like, 

the change process, and something 

I think I’m really strategic 

at. Being able to see that vision of 

where you want to go, but then 

have everybody playing a part in 

getting there. One of my favourite 

quotes is along the lines of 

“if you want to build a ship you 

don’t just drum up the people to 

gather the wood and divide the 

work and give orders. You’ve got 

to get them to yearn for the vast 

and endless sea and then the ship 

will get built regardless”. Once 

you know where you’re going, 

people are on board and the 

basic jobs get done. 

You seem like someone who’s 

got their feet on the ground. 

What do you attribute that to? 

I had a really bad speech 

impediment and went to speech 

therapy from age four till age 

nine. There are touchstones in 

your life and that was a big one 

for me, especially as a teacher. 

I was labelled a ‘dumb’ child, 

sitting in the bottom group of 

everything because they couldn’t 

understand a thing I was saying. 

It made me conscious never to 

do that and it’s made me a whole 

lot more empathetic towards 

children. I like people and children 

who are out of the box. I 

was always the kid at high school 

who had the coloured socks or 

the coloured hair, not quite willing 

to confirm and fit in, and I 

like that quirkiness with children 

and celebrate that difference. 

And my dad was really quirky. 

He was 77 and still rollerblading 

around Christchurch with a 

mohawk and a pony tail down 

the back and his ski poles to keep 

him balanced on his rollerblades, 

and he was just an optimist. I 

can’t remember him being sad or 

anybody ever saying a bad word 

about him. 

You live with your daughter 

who’s all grown up and a doctor 

now. What’s that like? 

I am absolutely blessed. I was 

coming back from Greta Valley, 

Mercedes had just qualified as a 

doctor and had enough money 

for a mortgage so we decided 

we’d buy a house. We’ve had five 

and a half years together, which 

has just been delightful. She and 

her partner have been looking 

for a house for the two of them to 

buy and, on Sunday night, it was 

confirmed that they’ve got one, 

which is fantastic. I’ve got one 

more month and they’ll move 

into their new house, which is 

about six minutes up the road. 

My other daughter is in Southshore 

so I’m really lucky that 

both my daughters are so close 

and so family-oriented. 

They have very different 

occupations. 

Yes, Mercedes is a doctor, and 

Paris was painting houses during 

the earthquakes and then was 

working with animals and, at 

the moment, is thinking of going 

into real estate. She did think 

about teaching for all of five 

seconds. 

Would you encourage her 

into that? 

I absolutely would, but I think 

the children of teachers are well 

aware of the long hours; it’s not 

the glamorous job you could 

potentially think it was. You 

take those kids home with you 

at night. I know my girls could 

probably reel off 10 or 20 names 

of children over the years who 

have had a special part to play in 

our family. 

How would you describe your 

parenting philosophy? 

You can never love a child 

too much. But you do have to 

do battle. I vividly remember 

having a battle with Paris when 

she was about 16, and I said I’m 

going to take your cellphone 

off you as a consequence. I got 

verbal abuse from her so there 

I am in the middle of the night, 

commando-style, sneaking into 

her room and getting under her 

pillow to get her cellphone and 

the next day just smiling and 

saying “when we’ve resolved this 

you’ll get your phone back”. You 

do have your battles but, boy, it’s 

worth it – children need boundaries 

just to know where they lie. 

You were a volunteer medic in 

India – what was that like? 

Mind-blowing and scary. 

Mercedes got to do two overseas 

placements in her final year of 

medicine and she chose Edinburgh 

and India. So I caught 

up with her in Edinburgh, and 

we tiki-toured through Europe 

together and ended up in India. 

She was working in an outreach 

clinic in Calcutta. I turned up 

on the first day just to see where 

she was and they handed me a 

needle to start doing injections. 

I shook my head and said, “no, 

I’m a teacher not a doctor.” 

They said, “yes, but you can do 

injections . . . and you can clean 

the wounds.” So my job was 

swabbing these horrific injuries, 

infections that had almost gone 

gangrenous. You’d be cleaning 

them out and big hunks of skin 

would fall away. I was putting 

on antiseptic cream, which here 

in New Zealand you might put 

on to a minor wound, and that’s 

what we were treating these really 

serious injuries with. 

What’s your next travel 

adventure? 

Next year I’m going to be 60 

so we’re going to Las Vegas. It’s 

an open invitation to friends 

and family. A week in Vegas and 

a week in Hawaii on the way 

home. The girls are coming 

with their partners and a good 

bunch of friends, and who 

knows, one or both of the girls 

might even get married while 

we’re there; that would really be 

exciting.

Forgotten figure 


A BOOK about a forgotten 

figure in Canterbury’s history 

has finally hit bookstore shelves. 

After five years of research 

and writing, Shirley Boys’ High 

School archivist Colin Amodeo 

has completed Tracking Captain 

Thomas, a journey in search of 

the unacknowledged founder of 

Canterbury. 

Mr Amodeo said few people 

knew about the Captain Joseph 

Thomas whose name is commemorated 

in the track up 

Sumner Valley. 

A soldier in Burma and the 

Caribbean, Captain Thomas 

arrived in New Zealand in 1840, 

exploring the east coast from 

Port Nicholson to Hawkes Bay. 

In 1848, he was appointed as 

the chief surveyor for the Canterbury 

Association, to choose 

a site where a new settlement 

could be established. 

He chose the site for Christchurch 

the following year and 

mapped out some of its features, 

including Hagley Park and the 

four city squares. 

He worked for two years developing 

Lyttelton and Christchurch 

before the settlers came, 

but once they arrived he was 

criticised for unfinished work. 

Mr Amodeo said the towns 

were not what the settlers were

thought would be his. 

expecting. He said the settlers 

believed Captain Thomas was 

responsible for the unfinished 

settlement, including the lack of 

churches and schools. 

The Captain Thomas walkway 

in Sumner and Thomas St 

in Linwood are named after 

him, but he is otherwise 

unrecognised. 

Mr Amodeo began work on 

the biography in 2012, fitting it 

in around his responsibilities at 

Shirley Boys’ High School. 

Mr Amodeo said although he 

was relieved to finish, he had 

already begun his next book. 

“It’s about the first resident 

magistrate in Akaroa, John 

Watson. Like Thomas, a lot of 

the material is unknown,” he 

said. 

PRODUCERS ARE looking 

for young people who can sing,

nationwide tour of The Sound of

Southshore triathlete in NZ squad 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SOUTHSHORE triathlete Ari 

Graham will test herself against 

the world’s best after being 

named in the New Zealand 

team to compete at the ITU 

world championships in the 

Netherlands. 

Graham, 18, is the only Canterbury 

athlete in the team of 

six juniors (under-19) who will 

compete in September. 

She will be joined by Hannah 

Knighton, Waikato/Tauranga, 

Ainsley Thorpe, Trent Dodds, 

Dan Hoy, Auckland, and Janus 

Staufenberg, Wanaka. 

Mark Elliott, Triathlon New 

Zealand’s high performance 

director, is excited by the talent 

being demonstrated in this team. 

“The selected athletes span 

across the country from the top 

of Auckland to the deep south in 

Wanaka,” said Elliott. 

“It’s exciting to see the depth 

of the athletes coming from 

different parts of the country, 

as well as the coaches who are 

guiding our current and future 

champions.” 

Over the summer, Graham 

competed in the national junior 

series, which is contested between 

the top under-19-year-olds 

in the country over five events. 

Graham not only won the 

series, she took out all five 

events. 

She is also a former age group 

middle distance and cross country 

champion. 

After competing in a couple of 

school triathlons, she made the 

decision late last year to dedicate 

her time to triathlon. 

She is currently training fulltime 

after finishing school at St 

Andrew’s College. 

The junior squad is the first of 

three New Zealand teams to be

Shirley aim for 

second win in 

first XI league 

• By Andrew King 

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School 

will look to keep their winning 

ways intact when they face 

defending champions Lincoln 

High in the Connetics schools 

premier first XI competition’s 

second round tomorrow. 

Coach Chris Needle said Lincoln 

will be a big test. 

“They have a number of players 

who play first team football 

with Nomads’ Mainland Premier 

League team,” he said. 

Shirley recorded a 4-2 win over 

Riccarton in the opening round. 

Needle said good passing and 

possession followed once they had 

settled into the game. However, 

he would like to see that from the 

first whistle tomorrow. 

“We will be looking for a more 

concentrated start to the game 

with good discipline across the 

field,” he said. 

Shirley players to watch tomorrow 

include captain Aaron 

Browne in an attacking midfield 

role and striker Shaun Regaldo 

who, as a year 11 student, is an 

exciting prospect at all levels of 

the game, Needle said.

Denture technicians keep abreast of industry 

developments 

As registered members of the New 

Zealand Dental Council, Ryan Carlton 

and his fellow technicians at Dentures 

Plus in Innes Road are required to 

undertake verified training at various 

courses every year, to upskill and keep 

abreast of new developments in the 

industry. 

“For example, our technicians Thomas 

Gu and Nicole Yee will be attending a 

two-day course later this year on the 

fitting of first-time dentures,” Ryan says. 

In addition, Nicole has recently spent 

four weeks in India as part of a course 

she is undertaking on maxilo facial work, 

which deals with artificial eyes, ears and 

noses. 

“This is a service we may potentially 

offer in the future,” Ryan says. 

Ryan himself has recently returned 

from the International Dental Show, 

which was held in Cologne, Germany. 

“It’s the largest trade show in the world 

for the industry, with manufacturers 

and suppliers from all over the world 

showcasing their products. There were 

over 2300 stands – it was really eyeopening.” 

Ryan says he was particularly interested 

in how digital technology is being 

incorporated into dentistry, for example 

3D printing being used at different stages 

of denture manufacture such as the crown 

and bridge. 

“It’s still in the very early stages, and it 

needs more development, but that’s where 

it’s heading,” Ryan says. 

He believes that in the future, people 

that make and fit dentures will be seen 

as architects rather than technicians, 

with patients being able to download the 

pattern for their dentures the architect 

has designed on computer, and print 

them on a 3D machine. 

In the meantime, he emphasises the 

importance of keeping dentures clean. 

Dentures Plus offers a full range of 

products for denture cleaning including 

denture cleaners, brushes and denture 

baths for soaking the dentures. 

Ryan particularly recommends 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.” 

It can be purchased through 

the Dentures Plus website, www. 

denturesplus.co.nz, for delivery anywhere 

in Christchurch and throughout the 

country. 

Dentures Plus, 396 Innes Road, is 

open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm 

and Friday 8am-2pm. To make an 

appointment for a consultation on 

denture fitting or repair, phone 

385 5517.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

New and quality used tyres 

for most makes & models 

If you need new tyres for your vehicle, 

JCM Direct is the place to go. 

This family-run, independent tyre 

business in Birmingham Drive specialises 

in new and quality second-hand tyres. 

The business is owned by husband and 

wife Athol and Julie Hurst, with Julie being 

the one who runs the day-to-day operation 

and fits the tyres for customers, which is 

unusual in the male-dominated industry, 

she says. 

They stock a large selection of new tyres 

from a wide range of suppliers to suit your 

wheelbarrow, car, van, 4wd or trailer. 

“There are very few brands we can’t do,” 

Julie says. 

“We also have an excellent selection of 

quality second-hand 4WD tyres. 

Other services JCM Direct offers include 

puncture repairs, supply and fitting of 

new and second-hand alloy wheels, wheel 

alignments, replacement factory steel 

rims, rim repairs and lights. 

“We also specialise in old rims, from the 

1930s to the 1970s, which people purchase 

for caravans and old trailers. The modern 

rims won’t fit those,” Julie says. 

“JCM Direct also do a lot of matching 

rims and tyres, so customers don’t have to 

buy a complete new set if only one needs 

replacing.” 

We can create packages to accommodate 

all budgets, with finance available via Q 

Card or Farmers Card. 

JCM Direct is now in a new location, 

on the corner of Birmingham Drive and 

Hands Road. Their former premises were 

further along Hands Road. 

Opening hours are Monday to Friday 

9.30am-5pm and Saturday 9.30am-1pm.
