New mower<br />
for red zone<br />
volunteer<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
BRYAN FAIRBAIRN’S pretty<br />
happy with his new $9000 mower.<br />
He maintains 9ha of red zone<br />
land and this is the third mower<br />
he’s been through since starting<br />
more than three years ago.<br />
“I’ve gone up to a 54in John<br />
Deere. I wanted the next size up<br />
but it’s $20,000 and we’re retired<br />
so I’ve got to be reasonable.”<br />
Mr Fairbairn and his wife Colleen<br />
spend hours each day mowing<br />
and tidying the land along<br />
New Brighton Rd so it looks like<br />
a park.<br />

School<br />
zones<br />
could limit<br />
single-sex<br />
learning<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE PRINCIPALS of Shirley<br />
Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ High<br />
Schools are concerned that<br />
families across the east retain the<br />
choice of a single-sex education,<br />
regardless of whether they live in<br />
the zone.<br />
The two schools are likely to<br />
share a zone when they co-locate<br />
to new premises in 2019.<br />
Both schools are to be rebuilt<br />
at QE II Park after their existing<br />
sites were damaged in the 2011<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Their boards are currently<br />
working with each other and the<br />
Ministry of Education to try and<br />
thrash out a new, shared zone.<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
principal Sue Hume said while<br />
the zone needed to give access to<br />
those close to the new campus,<br />
it was important to preserve the<br />
choice of single-sex education for<br />
families right across the east.<br />
She said the school had always<br />
taken a significant portion of<br />
students from out of zone.<br />
“Historically we provide services<br />
for families in the east and<br />
we want to continue to give that<br />
choice to families across the east<br />
of the city.<br />

BRIGHTON residents have every<br />
reason to be angry about rubbish<br />
being dumped on footpaths.<br />
At a time when the area is looking<br />
to get out of the doldrums,<br />
some people are turning Oram<br />
Ave and nearby Hood, Rodney and<br />
Shackleton Sts into an eyesore (see<br />
page 5).<br />
They’re the couldn’t careless<br />
types who dump unwanted household<br />
goods on the footpath in the<br />
hope someone else will clean it up.<br />
They’re the sort of people who<br />
don’t mow their lawns and treat<br />
their neighbours with contempt.<br />
So if you happen to see someone<br />
dumping rubbish on the footpath<br />
and you have your cellphone<br />
handy, film or photograph them<br />
and send to sarla.donovan@starmedia.kiwi<br />

Pool allowed to reopen<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE CENTRAL New Brighton<br />
School community pool looks<br />
set to reopen next summer after<br />
gaining permission to occupy<br />
the site for the next two years.<br />
The pool was to be demolished<br />
after the school merged<br />
with Freeville and North New<br />
Brighton schools in 2015.<br />
The Ministry<br />
of Education<br />
wanted to<br />
demolish the<br />
pool without<br />
consulting the<br />
community,<br />
which caused<br />
Tim Baker<br />
outrage, and<br />
Strategic Urban<br />
Rejuvenation Force asked the<br />
ministry if it could investigate<br />
whether the pool could be saved.<br />
It decided keeping the pool<br />
was viable, but only temporarily<br />
until the replacement QE II Park<br />
was completed.<br />
The SURF Community Trust<br />
this week received a draft licence<br />
to occupy from the ministry,<br />
until April 2019.<br />
It now needs $20,000 to bring<br />
the pool up to safety standards<br />
and expects running costs to be<br />
around $40,000 a year.<br />
The trust is also looking for<br />
volunteers to help maintain and<br />
run the pool. A yearly family<br />
pass would cost $150.<br />
The trust said the pool would<br />
not be in competition with<br />
Rawhiti $2 pool as it would have<br />
different opening hours and a<br />
different pricing model.<br />
Coastal-Burwood community<br />
RAINBOW’S<br />
END: The<br />
Central New<br />
Brighton<br />
School pool will<br />
be available<br />
for community<br />
use for the<br />
next two years.<br />
Groups are<br />
also looking for<br />
tenants for nine<br />
classrooms on<br />
the old school<br />
site.<br />
board member Tim Baker said<br />
it would be a cost-effective asset<br />
for the community which would<br />
be well used.<br />
“When North New Brighton<br />
School pool was opened up to<br />
the community during summer<br />
months, hundreds of people<br />
used it every day.”<br />
Meanwhile, nine empty classrooms<br />
at Central New Brighton<br />
School will shortly be available<br />
for community use.<br />
ReNew Brighton is asking for<br />
community groups and individuals<br />
to register their interest in<br />
residency at what it is called the<br />
Old School Community Hub.<br />
In Brief<br />
BURWOOD AFC HOME<br />
Burwood Association Football<br />
Club will continue using Clare<br />
Park after its lease was renewed<br />
by the Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board last week.<br />
Clare Park has been the club’s<br />
home ground since it was first<br />
started in 1972. The new lease of<br />
33 years will be broken into three<br />
terms of 11 years.<br />
NEW PUMP STATION<br />
Close to $2 million will be spent<br />
fixing one of the city’s major<br />
pump stations to restore prequake<br />
capacity and replace ageing<br />
equipment. The city council said<br />
the money would maximise the<br />
life of pump station 205 on New<br />
Brighton Rd, which provides land<br />
drainage and flood protection to<br />
the nearby area by pumping water<br />
from Horseshoe Lake into the<br />
Avon River during storm events.<br />
SHOP FRONT MURALS<br />
A former tattoo parlour will<br />
be the first shop front in New<br />
Brighton to feature windows<br />
painted with scenes from the<br />
suburb’s heyday in the 1950s.<br />
BrighterNewBrighton organiser<br />
Daniel Manchester came up with<br />
the idea of covering shop windows<br />
and doors with scenes of bustling<br />
activity inside. The first building<br />
owner gave agreement last week<br />
and Mr Manchester said he was<br />
planning to recreate a bike shop.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
OUR VISIT TO UC<br />
DAVIS, CALIFORNIA<br />
Steve, Isaac and myself recently spent time<br />
at UC Davis, the #1 Veterinary school in the<br />
world. For 2 years running it has received<br />
this huge accolade and when you are<br />
there you can see why. It operates and is<br />
the size of a mini CHCH Public hospital.<br />
They are a teaching hospital as well as<br />
seeing referral patients and first opinion<br />
clients. Their specialities include 24/7<br />
emergency and critical care, cardiology,<br />
neurology, ophthalmology,<br />
oncology and surgery. They<br />
were originally set up to<br />
see 5500 patients per year,<br />
last year they saw 50,000<br />
patients. Everyone was so<br />
friendly and helpful and<br />
enthusiastic about being<br />
part of this college. It had a<br />
wonderful vibe... Isaac was<br />
hooked.<br />
Approximately 140 students<br />
get accepted yearly in to<br />
Davis, with around 10% being<br />
male. It cost about US$45,000<br />
for tuition( $64000 NZL)<br />
and then there is living costs on top of<br />
that. Vet students on average come out<br />
owing US $135,000. These students have<br />
spent the previous 4 years obtaining an<br />
excellent undergraduate degree just to<br />
get accepted, majoring in science and<br />
maths. There are 30 colleges of Veterinary<br />
Medicine in the US and each year about<br />
3000 students get accepted. About 40%<br />
of students who apply get accepted<br />
somewhere. In your 3rd year you start to<br />
branch off in your area of interest – either<br />
companion animal, equine, mixed practice<br />
or production animals.<br />
After their 4 year degree at Davis, most<br />
will apply for 1-2 year internship at another<br />
Veterinary College to further their skills<br />
in an area they are interested in. Davis<br />
don’t offer internships. Our freshman<br />
(first year) guide loves dentistry so her<br />
plans are to become a specialist in this<br />
field. After her internship, she then needs<br />
to apply for a residency at one of the 30<br />
colleges, which could be anything from<br />
3-5 years more study!! These are hard to<br />
come by, and you have to be the best of<br />
the bunch, although a Vet degree from<br />
UC Davis stands you in good steed. So to<br />
be a specialist in your field in the US takes<br />
between 13-15 years, and the debt these<br />
students accrue is massive, a few get<br />
scholarships, but most have to pay. I met a<br />
vet in her 40’s who still has a student loan.<br />
Steve spent 2 days tagging along with<br />
ophthalmology specialists, residents and<br />
students on rotation. First and second<br />
year students get at least 2 weeks of<br />
ophthalmology per year ( 27 years ago<br />
when I studied at Massey, 1 day was<br />
dedicated to “eyes”). He really enjoyed the<br />
collegial discussions on cases, sussing out<br />
all the latest equipment, chatting to the<br />
students and doing rounds with them.<br />
Steve came away pleased with his skills<br />

and<br />
expertise in<br />
ophthalmology,<br />
although a<br />
few pieces of<br />
equipment caught<br />
his eye.<br />
Isaac and I<br />
thoroughly<br />
enjoyed our 3 hour tour of the<br />
entire faculty. Isaac loved the exotics<br />
hospital where they house and treat the<br />
reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles etc. We<br />
also visited their raptor centre, home to<br />
rescued birds of prey that can no longer<br />
see or fly. He also enjoyed watching elbow<br />
arthroscopy on a Golden Retriever from a<br />
viewing room. He could see them cutting<br />
and sucking out torn cartilage from the<br />
video screen. What amazed me was the<br />
amount of people in theatre – 9 in all,<br />
including the chief surgeon, 2 residents,<br />
3 anesthetists and 4th year students.<br />
There were so many people milling<br />
around keenly observing. They do MRI<br />
and CT here and even have a massive<br />
MRI machine that can fit a horse into.<br />
The most expensive patient to date was<br />
a spoodle who underwent dialysis for 18<br />
months, visiting the hospital twice weekly<br />
to have all the toxins removed from her<br />
blood. Her final account was US$140,000!<br />
The most expensive piece of equipment<br />
is a linear accelerator used for radiation<br />
treatment for cancer patients costing a<br />
little over 1 million. Apparently one of the<br />
only surgical procedures NOT performed<br />
here at Davis is renal transplants as when<br />
attempted on cats over 10 years ago,<br />
the survival rate was poor. A handful of<br />
colleges perform renal transplants in cats<br />
including the Pennsylvania and Georgia<br />
College of Vet medicine.<br />
We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent<br />
at Davis and I thought how amazing,<br />
fun and expensive it would be to be a<br />
student now studying vet medicine at<br />
UC Davis. The students we met were just<br />
so absorbed, very happy and grateful to<br />
be at this world class faculty. I came out<br />
thinking I am so in the right profession.<br />

She said the capacity<br />

increase the number of students<br />

TRASHED: Some of the rubbish dumped along<br />
Oram Ave in New Brighton.<br />
Rubbish dumping worsens in Brighton<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
NEW BRIGHTON residents<br />
are getting fed up with rubbish<br />
being dumped on streets.<br />
Chessa Crow has lived in<br />
Oram Ave for seven years<br />
and said the problem was<br />
getting worse.<br />
“There are upwards of<br />
three dumps of rubbish at<br />
any one time.”<br />
City council records show<br />
a big increase in Oram Ave,<br />
and nearby Hood, Rodney and<br />
Shackleton Sts, over the past two<br />
Chessa<br />
Crow<br />
years. There were 15 rubbish<br />
pick-ups in the year to April and<br />
the same amount the previous<br />
year, costing the city council<br />
around $1000, plus<br />
dump and tonnage<br />
charges.<br />
In 2014/15, there were<br />
only four pick-ups.<br />
A city council<br />
spokeswoman said the<br />
number had “increased<br />
from a few years<br />
ago, but are now possibly<br />
steadying.”<br />
It costs about $35 to take a<br />
load to the dump, plus tonnage<br />
costs of $200 a tonne.<br />
Mrs Crow said she had never<br />
caught anyone in the act.<br />
“I imagine they’re midnight<br />
marauders,” she said.<br />
Couches, beds, bikes and<br />
televisions make regular<br />
appearances.<br />
Mrs Crow believed the<br />
problem could be put down to a<br />
combination of laziness, the cost<br />
of taking things to the dump and<br />
a perception that New Brighton<br />
is a “derelict place anyway, so<br />
why not.”<br />
She used the city council’s<br />
Snap Send Solve app to report<br />
incidents, and it usually took<br />
three to five days to collect the<br />
dumped rubbish.<br />
The city council might also<br />
need to look at alternatives, she<br />
said.<br />
“I’m originally from Toronto<br />
and they have drop-off locations<br />
where, once a month, you can<br />
take your televisions or couches<br />
and it doesn’t cost.”<br />
The city council spokeswoman<br />
said there were no plans to<br />
introduce a kerbside collection.<br />

“I’m down there whenever it’s<br />
not raining” he said.<br />
He thinks red zone land should<br />
be kept tidy and park-like until<br />
decisions are made on its future.<br />
“We wanted to make it nice<br />
for people going past or walking<br />
through. They often stop and say<br />
thank you. They appreciate it.<br />
And people who used to live there<br />
come back and are very grateful.<br />
They left because they had to but<br />
they come back because they have<br />
connections to the area, they got<br />
married or planted a special tree<br />
there.”<br />
The city council pays for his fuel<br />
but nothing else.<br />
“We’re not allowed to put soil<br />
down or plant anything.”<br />
Burwood ward city councillor<br />
Glenn Livingstone asked city<br />
council staff in April if they could<br />
provide Mr and Mrs Fairbairn<br />
with one red and four green waste<br />
bins to assist them in their work.<br />
He is still waiting to hear back<br />
on whether this is possible.<br />
Mr Fairbairn, 69, said the work<br />
kept him out of his wife’s hair. “I<br />
don’t play golf or go to the pub. It<br />
gives me an awful lot of comfort<br />
and pleasure.”<br />

Personalising learning<br />
A recent<br />
educational<br />
conference<br />
in Singapore<br />
led<br />
Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate<br />
school<br />
principal<br />
Justin Fields to reflect on<br />
the future of learning<br />
During the last week of term<br />
1, I went to Singapore with the<br />
Canterbury intermediate principals<br />
to visit some local schools<br />
and attend an international<br />
learning conference.<br />
In one of my recent newsletters<br />
I highlighted a visit we had<br />
from Princess Elizabeth School<br />
in Singapore and I was able to<br />
reciprocate and visit them.<br />
The principal and staff who<br />
visited Chisnallwood told me<br />
that they were extremely impressed<br />
by how we personalise<br />
the learning, our extension<br />
classes, our collaborative<br />
teaching practices, the new<br />
mechatronics/electronics/robotics<br />
programme and the fact<br />
that we offer computer science.<br />
Education in Singapore is very<br />
traditional with large class sizes,<br />
students sitting in rows and<br />
lessons being predominantly<br />
teacher-led.<br />
I was surprised by the lack of<br />
IT use in classrooms. The great<br />
news is they want to change, but<br />
the burning question for them<br />
is how?<br />
I believe this is one of the reasons<br />
why Singapore hosted the<br />
international conference – they<br />
wanted to challenge the status<br />
quo and do things differently.<br />
This is not to say that their<br />
system is broken, but rather that<br />
they want to do things better for<br />
the students, to nurture creativity<br />
and personalise the learning.<br />
The reflections for me were<br />
firstly, that no matter where you<br />
are in the world, we all want the<br />
best for our students; secondly,<br />
that what we are doing in New<br />
Zealand and particularly at<br />
Chisnallwood is what we need<br />
to be doing, and finally, that<br />
networking and sharing ideas<br />
improves outcomes for all.<br />
It was an enlightening<br />
trip and I look forward to<br />
implementing the conference<br />
learnings as “we continue to<br />
challenge the margins of time<br />
and explore what is beyond” at<br />
Chisnallwood. Kia Kaha<br />
FLAME FILES<br />
Keep cooking under<br />
control in the kitchen<br />
• Mark Thomas, fire risk<br />
management officer<br />
I KNOW I’ve repeated the advice<br />
about looking when cooking<br />
dozens of times over the years<br />
and it looks very much like it’s<br />
never going to cease completely.<br />
But every now and then I<br />
despair a bit.<br />
Like on Wednesday when<br />
within three-and-a-half-hours<br />
fire trucks responded to three<br />
different cooking incidents.<br />
A house completely filled with<br />
smoke from a forgotten pie in<br />
the microwave in Sockburn was<br />
followed by a pot on the stove,<br />
again filling the house in Kotare<br />
St and a further incident in<br />
Bryndwr where smoke inhalation<br />
was the result for the elderly<br />
occupants.<br />
Any of these could have been<br />
much worse.<br />
A life or a house gone.<br />
But all of them were preventable.<br />
Stay in the kitchen.<br />
The smell of burning in your<br />
home can be frightening for<br />
anyone.<br />
More so if you’re blind.<br />

The occupant of a house in<br />
Addington thankfully did the<br />
exact right thing, again on<br />
Wednesday, by phoning 111<br />
and having the local crew there<br />
within minutes.<br />
Turned out to be a tea towel<br />
smouldering on an element.<br />
The potential here was a bit<br />
frightening.<br />
I’ve not mentioned arson here<br />
for a long time.<br />
It’s still occurring but the<br />
removal of most of the empty<br />
houses in the red zone has made<br />
it less visible or newsworthy.<br />
A drum of diesel spread along<br />
the road in the early hours last<br />
Sunday in Wigram was lit and<br />
left by whatever morons thought<br />
it was clever.<br />
They’re still out there. As stupid<br />
and dangerous as ever.<br />

Our People<br />
Principal of change management<br />
Banks Avenue<br />
School principal<br />
Toni Burnside<br />
recently announced<br />
the school’s move<br />
to a new site in 2020.<br />
She talks to Sarla<br />
Donovan about<br />
managing change<br />
and her time as a<br />
volunteer medic in<br />
India.<br />
Are you Christchurch born<br />
and bred?<br />
I grew up in Aranui, went to<br />
Aranui Primary, Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate and then Aranui<br />
High, so my whole life I’ve lived<br />
in the east side and worked here<br />
as well. I feel like New Brighton/<br />
Northshore is a bit of a secret. It<br />
doesn’t have the best reputation<br />
property-wise but we’ve got the<br />
beach behind us, the forest next<br />
to us and it’s just magical. So I’ve<br />
never wanted to go to any other<br />
part of the city.<br />
You were principal at Central<br />
New Brighton School during<br />
the merger with Freeville and<br />
North New Brighton schools.<br />
What was that like?<br />
That was gutting for the community<br />
because the school was<br />
really starting to hum – it had a<br />
lovely family feel to it. We only<br />
had about 130 children, there<br />
was great achievement, lots of<br />
lovely social things happening<br />
for the children, we had a really<br />
great bunch of families who<br />
were committed to the school.<br />
You could see that we were on a<br />
good journey so it was absolutely<br />
heart-wrenching, especially<br />
because the community had already<br />
been through so much and<br />
the school was pivotal in keeping<br />
them together and giving them<br />
that sense of normality. So it was<br />
the wrong thing at the wrong<br />
time for the community.<br />
You also lost your home after<br />
the quakes and now you’re<br />

managing the rebuild of Banks<br />
Avenue School. You must be<br />
getting good at managing<br />
change?<br />
It’s actually something I like,<br />
the change process, and something<br />
I think I’m really strategic<br />
at. Being able to see that vision of<br />
where you want to go, but then<br />
have everybody playing a part in<br />
getting there. One of my favourite<br />
quotes is along the lines of<br />
“if you want to build a ship you<br />
don’t just drum up the people to<br />
gather the wood and divide the<br />
work and give orders. You’ve got<br />
to get them to yearn for the vast<br />
and endless sea and then the ship<br />
will get built regardless”. Once<br />
you know where you’re going,<br />
people are on board and the<br />
basic jobs get done.<br />
You seem like someone who’s<br />
got their feet on the ground.<br />
What do you attribute that to?<br />
I had a really bad speech<br />
impediment and went to speech<br />
therapy from age four till age<br />
nine. There are touchstones in<br />
your life and that was a big one<br />
for me, especially as a teacher.<br />
I was labelled a ‘dumb’ child,<br />
sitting in the bottom group of<br />
everything because they couldn’t<br />
understand a thing I was saying.<br />
It made me conscious never to<br />
do that and it’s made me a whole<br />
lot more empathetic towards<br />
children. I like people and children<br />
who are out of the box. I<br />
was always the kid at high school<br />
who had the coloured socks or<br />
the coloured hair, not quite willing<br />
to confirm and fit in, and I<br />
like that quirkiness with children<br />
and celebrate that difference.<br />
And my dad was really quirky.<br />
He was 77 and still rollerblading<br />
around Christchurch with a<br />
mohawk and a pony tail down<br />
the back and his ski poles to keep<br />
him balanced on his rollerblades,<br />
and he was just an optimist. I<br />
can’t remember him being sad or<br />
anybody ever saying a bad word<br />
about him.<br />
You live with your daughter<br />
who’s all grown up and a doctor<br />
now. What’s that like?<br />
I am absolutely blessed. I was<br />
coming back from Greta Valley,<br />
Mercedes had just qualified as a<br />
doctor and had enough money<br />
for a mortgage so we decided<br />
we’d buy a house. We’ve had five<br />
and a half years together, which<br />
has just been delightful. She and<br />
her partner have been looking<br />
for a house for the two of them to<br />
buy and, on Sunday night, it was<br />
confirmed that they’ve got one,<br />
which is fantastic. I’ve got one<br />
more month and they’ll move<br />
into their new house, which is<br />
about six minutes up the road.<br />
My other daughter is in Southshore<br />
so I’m really lucky that<br />
both my daughters are so close<br />
and so family-oriented.<br />
They have very different<br />
occupations.<br />
Yes, Mercedes is a doctor, and<br />
Paris was painting houses during<br />
the earthquakes and then was<br />
working with animals and, at<br />
the moment, is thinking of going<br />
into real estate. She did think<br />
about teaching for all of five<br />
seconds.<br />
Would you encourage her<br />
into that?<br />
I absolutely would, but I think<br />
the children of teachers are well<br />
aware of the long hours; it’s not<br />
the glamorous job you could<br />
potentially think it was. You<br />
take those kids home with you<br />
at night. I know my girls could<br />
probably reel off 10 or 20 names<br />
of children over the years who<br />
have had a special part to play in<br />
our family.<br />
How would you describe your<br />
parenting philosophy?<br />
You can never love a child<br />
too much. But you do have to<br />
do battle. I vividly remember<br />
having a battle with Paris when<br />
she was about 16, and I said I’m<br />
going to take your cellphone<br />
off you as a consequence. I got<br />
verbal abuse from her so there<br />
I am in the middle of the night,<br />
commando-style, sneaking into<br />
her room and getting under her<br />
pillow to get her cellphone and<br />
the next day just smiling and<br />
saying “when we’ve resolved this<br />
you’ll get your phone back”. You<br />
do have your battles but, boy, it’s<br />
worth it – children need boundaries<br />
just to know where they lie.<br />
You were a volunteer medic in<br />
India – what was that like?<br />
Mind-blowing and scary.<br />
Mercedes got to do two overseas<br />
placements in her final year of<br />
medicine and she chose Edinburgh<br />
and India. So I caught<br />
up with her in Edinburgh, and<br />
we tiki-toured through Europe<br />
together and ended up in India.<br />
She was working in an outreach<br />
clinic in Calcutta. I turned up<br />
on the first day just to see where<br />
she was and they handed me a<br />
needle to start doing injections.<br />
I shook my head and said, “no,<br />
I’m a teacher not a doctor.”<br />
They said, “yes, but you can do<br />
injections . . . and you can clean<br />
the wounds.” So my job was<br />
swabbing these horrific injuries,<br />
infections that had almost gone<br />
gangrenous. You’d be cleaning<br />
them out and big hunks of skin<br />
would fall away. I was putting<br />
on antiseptic cream, which here<br />
in New Zealand you might put<br />
on to a minor wound, and that’s<br />
what we were treating these really<br />
serious injuries with.<br />
What’s your next travel<br />
adventure?<br />
Next year I’m going to be 60<br />
so we’re going to Las Vegas. It’s<br />
an open invitation to friends<br />
and family. A week in Vegas and<br />
a week in Hawaii on the way<br />
home. The girls are coming<br />
with their partners and a good<br />
bunch of friends, and who<br />
knows, one or both of the girls<br />
might even get married while<br />
we’re there; that would really be<br />
exciting.<br />

Forgotten figure<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A BOOK about a forgotten<br />
figure in Canterbury’s history<br />
has finally hit bookstore shelves.<br />
After five years of research<br />
and writing, Shirley Boys’ High<br />
School archivist Colin Amodeo<br />
has completed Tracking Captain<br />
Thomas, a journey in search of<br />
the unacknowledged founder of<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Mr Amodeo said few people<br />
knew about the Captain Joseph<br />
Thomas whose name is commemorated<br />
in the track up<br />
Sumner Valley.<br />
A soldier in Burma and the<br />
Caribbean, Captain Thomas<br />
arrived in New Zealand in 1840,<br />
exploring the east coast from<br />
Port Nicholson to Hawkes Bay.<br />
In 1848, he was appointed as<br />
the chief surveyor for the Canterbury<br />
Association, to choose<br />
a site where a new settlement<br />
could be established.<br />
He chose the site for Christchurch<br />
the following year and<br />
mapped out some of its features,<br />
including Hagley Park and the<br />
four city squares.<br />
He worked for two years developing<br />
Lyttelton and Christchurch<br />
before the settlers came,<br />
but once they arrived he was<br />
criticised for unfinished work.<br />
Mr Amodeo said the towns<br />
were not what the settlers were<br />
MODEL HISTORY: Colin<br />
Amodeo holds a model of<br />
the house at Lyttelton which<br />
Captain Joseph Thomas<br />
thought would be his.<br />
expecting. He said the settlers<br />
believed Captain Thomas was<br />
responsible for the unfinished<br />
settlement, including the lack of<br />
churches and schools.<br />
The Captain Thomas walkway<br />
in Sumner and Thomas St<br />
in Linwood are named after<br />
him, but he is otherwise<br />
unrecognised.<br />
Mr Amodeo began work on<br />
the biography in 2012, fitting it<br />
in around his responsibilities at<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School.<br />
Mr Amodeo said although he<br />
was relieved to finish, he had<br />
already begun his next book.<br />
“It’s about the first resident<br />
magistrate in Akaroa, John<br />
Watson. Like Thomas, a lot of<br />
the material is unknown,” he<br />
said.<br />
PRODUCERS ARE looking<br />
for young people who can sing,<br />
dance and act for an upcoming<br />
nationwide tour of The Sound of<br />
Music.<br />
Two teams of children are<br />
needed to play the six youngest<br />
von Trapp children – Gretl,<br />
Marta, Brigitta, Kurt, Louisa<br />
and Friedrich.<br />
Hundreds of youngsters are<br />
expected to apply for the tour<br />
that will take in 20 cities in September<br />
and October this year.<br />
The children will be paid<br />
for their roles as it is a fully<br />
professional production under<br />
the direction of former<br />
Shortland St star Geraldine<br />
Brophy.<br />
Children must be at least 10<br />
years of age and can be of any<br />
nationality or ethnicity.<br />
Boys will need unbroken<br />
voices to be able to sing in the<br />
required vocal range.<br />
Auditions will be held on<br />

Southshore triathlete in NZ squad<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SOUTHSHORE triathlete Ari<br />
Graham will test herself against<br />
the world’s best after being<br />
named in the New Zealand<br />
team to compete at the ITU<br />
world championships in the<br />
Netherlands.<br />
Graham, 18, is the only Canterbury<br />
athlete in the team of<br />
six juniors (under-19) who will<br />
compete in September.<br />
She will be joined by Hannah<br />
Knighton, Waikato/Tauranga,<br />
Ainsley Thorpe, Trent Dodds,<br />
Dan Hoy, Auckland, and Janus<br />
Staufenberg, Wanaka.<br />
Mark Elliott, Triathlon New<br />
Zealand’s high performance<br />
director, is excited by the talent<br />
being demonstrated in this team.<br />
“The selected athletes span<br />
across the country from the top<br />
of Auckland to the deep south in<br />

“It’s exciting to see the depth<br />
of the athletes coming from<br />
different parts of the country,<br />

Over the summer, Graham<br />
competed in the national junior<br />
series, which is contested between<br />
the top under-19-year-olds<br />

Graham not only won the<br />
series, she took out all five<br />
events.<br />
She is also a former age group<br />
middle distance and cross country<br />

school triathlons, she made the<br />

Denture technicians keep abreast of industry<br />
developments<br />
As registered members of the New<br />
Zealand Dental Council, Ryan Carlton<br />
and his fellow technicians at Dentures<br />
Plus in Innes Road are required to<br />
undertake verified training at various<br />
courses every year, to upskill and keep<br />
abreast of new developments in the<br />
industry.<br />
“For example, our technicians Thomas<br />
Gu and Nicole Yee will be attending a<br />
two-day course later this year on the<br />
fitting of first-time dentures,” Ryan says.<br />
In addition, Nicole has recently spent<br />
four weeks in India as part of a course<br />
she is undertaking on maxilo facial work,<br />
which deals with artificial eyes, ears and<br />
noses.<br />
“This is a service we may potentially<br />
offer in the future,” Ryan says.<br />
Ryan himself has recently returned<br />
from the International Dental Show,<br />
which was held in Cologne, Germany.<br />
“It’s the largest trade show in the world<br />
for the industry, with manufacturers<br />
and suppliers from all over the world<br />
showcasing their products. There were<br />
over 2300 stands – it was really eyeopening.”<br />
Ryan says he was particularly interested<br />
in how digital technology is being<br />
incorporated into dentistry, for example<br />
3D printing being used at different stages<br />
of denture manufacture such as the crown<br />
and bridge.<br />
“It’s still in the very early stages, and it<br />
needs more development, but that’s where<br />
it’s heading,” Ryan says.<br />
He believes that in the future, people<br />
that make and fit dentures will be seen<br />
as architects rather than technicians,<br />
with patients being able to download the<br />
pattern for their dentures the architect<br />
has designed on computer, and print<br />
them on a 3D machine.<br />
In the meantime, he emphasises the<br />
importance of keeping dentures clean.<br />
Dentures Plus offers a full range of<br />
products for denture cleaning including<br />
denture cleaners, brushes and denture<br />
baths for soaking the dentures.<br />
Ryan particularly recommends Caldent<br />
denture cleaner, as it is non-abrasive and<br />
effectively removes stains, calculus and<br />
plaque.<br />
“It works wonders,” he says. “Years of<br />
stains and plaque can be removed with<br />
this product.”<br />
It can be purchased through<br />
the Dentures Plus website, www.<br />
denturesplus.co.nz, for delivery anywhere<br />
in Christchurch and throughout the<br />
country.<br />
Dentures Plus, 396 Innes Road, is<br />
open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm<br />
and Friday 8am-2pm. To make an<br />
appointment for a consultation on<br />
denture fitting or repair, phone<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
New and quality used tyres<br />
for most makes & models<br />
If you need new tyres for your vehicle,<br />
JCM Direct is the place to go.<br />
This family-run, independent tyre<br />
business in Birmingham Drive specialises<br />
in new and quality second-hand tyres.<br />
The business is owned by husband and<br />
wife Athol and Julie Hurst, with Julie being<br />
the one who runs the day-to-day operation<br />
and fits the tyres for customers, which is<br />
unusual in the male-dominated industry,<br />
she says.<br />
They stock a large selection of new tyres<br />
from a wide range of suppliers to suit your<br />
wheelbarrow, car, van, 4wd or trailer.<br />
“There are very few brands we can’t do,”<br />
Julie says.<br />
“We also have an excellent selection of<br />
quality second-hand 4WD tyres.<br />
Other services JCM Direct offers include<br />
puncture repairs, supply and fitting of<br />
new and second-hand alloy wheels, wheel<br />
alignments, replacement factory steel<br />
rims, rim repairs and lights.<br />
“We also specialise in old rims, from the<br />
1930s to the 1970s, which people purchase<br />
for caravans and old trailers. The modern<br />
rims won’t fit those,” Julie says.<br />
“JCM Direct also do a lot of matching<br />
rims and tyres, so customers don’t have to<br />
buy a complete new set if only one needs<br />
replacing.”<br />
We can create packages to accommodate<br />
all budgets, with finance available via Q<br />
Card or Farmers Card.<br />
JCM Direct is now in a new location,<br />
on the corner of Birmingham Drive and<br />
Hands Road. Their former premises were<br />
further along Hands Road.<br />
Opening hours are Monday to Friday<br />
9.30am-5pm and Saturday 9.30am-1pm.<br />
