unhappy
over gym
school
consultation
A pleasant evening
Pleasant Point Yacht Club life member Bob Scott, 97, got his
hands on the America’s Cup with Team New Zealand crewman
Joe Sullivan during an event on Saturday night to raise money
for the club’s rebuild. •Story, pg 3
• By Sophie Cornish
RESIDENTS LIVING near QE II
Park are unhappy with the public
consultation over the approved
new lease for the Christchurch
School of Gymnastics.
Thirteen people signed a letter
sent to the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board saying residents’
views were not given due
consideration.
The community board made
a recommendation to the city
council to approve the proposed
lease for the new site on the Ascot
Ave side of QE II Park on September
18. The city council granted
the lease on September 28.
A comment from the community
board in a report to the
city council acknowledged that a
leaflet informing residents of the
final decision of where the school
would be rebuilt should have
been sent out earlier.
Before the community board’s
recommendation, the city council
delivered leaflets to properties
on surrounding streets about the
proposed lease. It offered residents
the opportunity to submit
feedback.
But residents say the map on
the leaflet caused confusion over
where the site would be because it
wasn’t clear enough.
Coastal-Burwood Ward councillor
David East agreed there
were “some anomalies” with the
map which may have been interpreted
in different ways.
He suggested at an onsite meeting
there needed to be a more
widespread leaflet drop to clear
up confusion and give more residents
an opportunity to submit
their feedback.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
IT WAS a great night at the
Pleasant Point Yacht Club on
Saturday as fundraising continues
to build new clubrooms (see page
3).
And it was a special moment for
97-year-old Bob Scott, who has
been a member at the club since
1936.
Bob met some of the winning
Team New Zealand crew who
turned up for the fundraiser and
I’m sure that most have been a
terrific moment.
The club has done a fantastic
job getting Team NZ on board
so congratulations for all those
behind it.
Between $20-25,000 was raised
(final total still to be counted).
Residents near the eastern side
of QE II aren’t overly happy about
the relocation of the school of
gymnastics and are angry over
the way they have been consulted
(see page 1).

Team NZ boosts rebuild fund
• By Sophie Cornish
ABOUT $25,000 was raised for
the rebuild of Pleasant Point
Yacht Club on Saturday night.
The event called An Evening
with Emirates Team New Zealand
ran smoothly, said Pleasant
Point Yacht Club spokesman
Nigel Humphreys. The club rebuild
is planned for South New
Brighton Park.
Life member of the club, Bob
Scott, 97, was given to a lot of
attention by Team New Zealand
member Joe Sullivan. The formerly
“very competitive” yachtie
joined the club in 1936 and is the
oldest living member.
He was club commodore in
the 1950s and club captain for
many years.
Mr Scott’s daughter, Carol
Scott, said they had a fantastic
evening and her father particularly
enjoyed the team’s presentation
which included footage on
the water.
Ms Scott said Mr Sullivan
made a fuss of her father. The
two men have mutual friends
including New Zealand sailor
and broadcaster Peter Lester’s
father, who Mr Scott went to
school with.
Mr Sullivan organised members
of the Team New Zealand

to sign a plaque commemorating
Canterbury’s only challenge
in the Little America’s Cup
challenge in the 1974, which
Mr Scott brought along on the
night. The Little Americas Cup,
now known as the International
Catamaran Challenge Trophy,
is a race between C class catamarans.
More than 400 people attended
on Saturday night. A
pre-event gathering took place at
6pm with VIP guests and sponsors
given the opportunity to
meet Team New Zealand members
before the main event began
at 7pm. Guests were treated to a
presentation on the big screen by
Team New Zealand members.
The presentation showed the
team’s background, philosophy,
future goals and other specifics
like how they stay focussed and
deal with challenging events.
Several prizes were auctioned
including a helicopter ride to a
mystery destination piloted by
Richie McCaw, a horsepower
experience in a dual sulky
behind Monkey King, New
Zealand’s top-earning harness
racer, a hot lap around Mike
Pero Motorsport Park, Ruapuna,
and a signed framed Emirates
Team New Zealand shirt.
Proceeds from the auction
totalled more than $17,000. The
vintage 1995 Team New Zealand
shirt is still up for auction on
Galabid until the end of the
month.
A wide range of people
attending the event including
die-hard yacties, members of the
public and a lot of families, said
Mr Humphreys.
Team New Zealand members
took the opportunity to get
to know those who attended,
coming down on to the floor
and mingling with guests and
getting photos with them and
the cup.
Team members who attended
include Joseph Sullivan, Richard
Meacham, Sean Regan, Chris
Salthouse, Nick Hutchins,
Hamish Hooper, Harry Lynsky,
Norman Newton (cup security)
and Aaron Young (Royal New
Zealand Yacht Squadron).

Veterinary practice
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VET
NURSE AT McMASTER & HEAP
Its early morning and the HOSPITAL nurse is
already hard at work, caring for her sometimes
numerous & varied hospital patients who have
stayed the night.
She cuddles & chats away to them
reassuringly as if they were her own!
Some soiled patients are sponge bathed,
while other patients are syringe fed. She checks,
untwists and flushes IV catheters, administers
morning medications, fresh food & clean
bedding is lovingly placed! All observations are
recorded ready for the “Vet rounds”, just as in a
hospital!
The Vets at McMaster & Heap rely heavily on
the expertise and thoroughness of our nurses
to inform us with regards to the patients in
her care. The vets check over their patients,
authorize blood tests or radiographs, change
medication or nutrition plans and update the
owners.
Then its back to the hospital nurse to care
for the needs of these patients over the course
of the day, updating the vet, speaking to the
family members involved and organizing
visiting times. Excellent time management skills
are required to triage the sick arrivals through
the day and care for the already sick and injured.
Note taking and recording of medications given
is of utmost importance.
Meanwhile the doors have opened & the
RECEPTION nurse is cheerfully assisting the
receptionist, greeting a continuous stream
of pets and their owners arriving for today’s
appointments & procedures!
She expertly multi tasks while answering the
relentlessly ringing phones-today she will take
a huge number of calls with a wide variety of
questions. She must use her problem solving
skills to know when it is OK for a patient to
come in later in the day, or if in fact it may
require a much more urgent consult time.
The SURGICAL nurse gets ready for her
busy day ahead. Patients start arriving at 8am
for admittance and some days we have 4
vets operating and a list of over 15 surgical
procedures to work through. Every nurse has a
vet assigned to them to allow continuity of care.
She will talk kindly & soothingly to each
patient while efficiently placing IV catheters
& obtain blood and urine samples to run
diagnostic tests for the vet. She then calculates
and administers her patients pre anaesthetic
medications as instructed.
Anaesthetic machines must then be checked
& the surgical room fully equipped for the
variety of today’s procedures!
Once everything is ready, she will assist the
vet in the patients induction and intubation,
before swiftly attaching all monitoring
equipment, as well as manual checks. Once
happy the patient is stable, she sterile preps the

patients surgical site. She closely monitors the
patient through the entire procedure, alerting
the vet to any subtle changes in the patients
anaesthetic depth, blood pressure and more.
She carefully moves the patient over to a
cosy recovery bed, where the hospital nurse is
waiting to continue the post operative care.
Evening consults are arriving & reception is a
hype of activity. Phones are ringing constantly
& owners are arriving to pick up their animals
from surgery & hospital.
The reception nurse expertly talks to owners
experiencing a wide range of emotions, from
extreme sadness, stress, anxiety, to those who
are excited or just plain relieved to be able to
see their furry friend once more. She goes over
the large variety of discharge information that
the vets & nurses have carefully put aside for
their patients.
The hospital nurse kindly talks to worried
owners who are visiting their pets and updates
them on the vets plan for overnight care.
She carries out her final rounds and ensures
everyone gets a cuddle goodnight!
She assists the vet in preparing any extremely
unwell patients that require transfer to the after
hours clinic.
At 7pm the last consult has finished, and
the doors are closed! The nurses may still
be buzzing around for another hour or so,
depending on today’s work load. Although
sometimes they are totally exhausted (&
covered in various unidentified stains & smells!)
they go home to their own pets with a big
smile on their face. They know each day they
assist the vets in making a huge difference to
animals lives by putting 100% of time, love, care
& knowledge to ensure each furry patient and
it’s owner has had the best veterinary service
and care possible!!

Readers respond to
the Pegasus Post
article about the
charitable car yard in
Aranui
Jo Manson-King – I
believe it should benefit by
giving the area, an active
activities place. I mean
lovely to sell cars in a low
decile area and give back,
but give back to what? The
kids/youth of the area have
nothing, so maybe a roller
skating rink which could
be used by many groups,
an inflatable/jump world,
something that brings hope
to not just the young but
everyone.
Ron Tuuta – Great idea
at least something positive
in the zone, no matter
what gets suggested for the
area there will be lots of
keyboard warriors ready to
pull it down.
Stefan Mortimer –
Car yard is not what we
need, I live here and that
yard should be used to
build units to house the
struggling and not what

because $380,000 is
not affordable.

Helping kids get creative
What
makes the
Imagination
Station so
popular?
Managing
director Sam
Butcher
explains
Lego Education. Who would
have thought the world’s biggest
toy company would also become
one of the biggest educational
equipment providers in the
world?
The concept of educational toys
has become commonplace in
discussion among many parents.
As a society, we want to
ensure our children have
every opportunity to grow,
explore the world, and come
to know that learning can in
fact be a thrilling and enjoyable
experience.
Lego toys are tactile, creative,
and come in a bright rage of
colours, sizes, and shapes. The
pure diversity and simplicity
of Lego building bricks makes
them engaging for even the most
disruptive of children, building
their co-ordination and problemsolving
skills.
But Lego Education goes
further than just plastic bricks –
it now includes programmable
robots, solar-powered motors
and all kinds of great learning
equipment. Imagination Station
is Christchurch’s biggest provider
of Lego-based education classes.
Since opening in January 2015,
Imagination Station has bought
almost a tonne of Lego and
Duplo bricks into Christchurch
for people to play with – all in
the name of creative play and
education. Imagination Station
encourages people of all ages
to be creative, and provides a
diverse range of holiday activities
and after school programmes to
engage children.
With a new additional centre
open in New Brighton’s Carnaby
Lane until Christmas, it’s a great
opportunity to get kids building
and dreaming of models much
bigger than they’d be able to
make at home.
Until Christmas, Imagination
Station New Brighton is open
Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and
Mondays each week – plus every
day over the school holidays.
All are welcome to come on
down and get creative.

Unstoppable: My Life So Far
By Maria Sharapova
In the middle of the night, a father and his daughter step off a
Greyhound bus in Florida and head straight to the Nick Bollettieri
Tennis Academy. They ring the bell, though no one is expecting
them and they don’t speak English. They have arrived from
Russia with just seven hundred dollars and the conviction that
this six-year-old girl will be the world’s next great tennis star.
They are right.
This is Maria Sharapova’s gripping and fearless autobiography,
telling her story from her roots in the small Siberian town her
parents fled to after the Chernobyl disaster, through her arrival
in the US with nothing and her phenomenal rise to success -
winning Wimbledon aged just seventeen - to the disasters that
threatened her career and her fight back. Told with the same
combative, no-holds-barred attitude as her game, it’s a story of
crazy luck, mistakes, rivalries, sacrifice, survival and, above all,
the constant, unwavering determination to win.

Chocolate wheel returns
for final spin in museum
THE NEW Brighton Museum’s
chocolate wheel is coming out of
retirement for just one day.
The chocolate wheel was a
popular activity in the 1970s. It
would be spun on the corner of
Oram Ave and Seaview Rd on
Saturdays.
At the time, New Brighton had
a monopoly on Saturday trading
and a regular team of men from
the Pier and Foreshore Society
would spin the wheel to fundraise.
Prizes included frozen chickens
and chocolates. The museum
plans to resurrect the wheel for its
garage sale on Sunday.
In 1977, the funds raised from
spinning the wheel were used
to upgrade Thomson Park. A
flying fox and other playground
equipment was purchased, along

Residents then queried a
number of different sites for
the rebuild and the community
board asked city council to
consider the sites.
The city council assessed several
different sites. However, it
determined there was only one
viable option, the site which had
been indicated on the original
leaflets.
It was then determined by
city council staff that a further
consultation process was not
required.
A letter and information
leaflet summarising the options
that were investigated was sent
to residents. However, it was
later acknowledged by the community
board that this went out
some time after the meetings
with residents and should have
been sent earlier.
Many residents who were
waiting for the second round
of consultation did not receive
this leaflet and were unaware
there would not be more public
consultation.
Residents were then told if
they had any objections to submit
a deputation at the community
board meeting where the
lease recommendation would be
made.
Four residents made deputations
and two noted disappointment
about the lack of proper
consultation, including misinformation
about the process
being extended.
Resident Keith McKay did not
believe there was enough time
to allow for due consideration of
the deputations.

consideration, due to the length
of time it took to make the
decision,” said Mr McKay in the
latest letter to the community
board.
Objections to the proposed
site include the loss of park
space, over-development of QE
II Park, loss of trees, cost of
ground improvements, suitability
of other sites and the visual
impact of the building.

Shirley Boys’ recipe book
embraces sugar-free diet
• By Sophie Cornish
A CLASS of Shirley Boys’ High
students are passionate about
combating high sugar intake.
The year 13 food studies class
has created a low-sugar recipe
book called Life is Sweet which
goes on sale today.
The book aims to educate
readers about ways to consume
less sugar and the positive health
benefits as a result.
Food studies teacher Pete
Beswick said he almost fell off his
seat when the boys approached
him about the idea for the book.
“At first I was sceptical but
also wanted them to be able
to achieve this, so we grabbed
the bull by the horns. It has
increased my stress levels somewhat,
but I have been so proud
of the guys and what we have
achieved together that the stress
took a back seat,” he said.
The book was created as part
of an assessment involving an
investigation into a nutritional
issue affecting the well-being of
New Zealanders.
Every recipe was trialled and
adjusted over five weeks by the
class.
A $6000 loan from the PTA
was used to create the book,
along with advertising sold to
AUTHORS: The year 13 food studies class created the book
Life is Sweet.
Pak’nSave Wainoni, Peter Timbs
Meats and Caxton Press, the
book’s publisher.
It is available for purchase
from the school for $15. There are
1000 copies for sale.
Proceeds will be split between
a donation to Christchurch
Diabetes New Zealand and next
year’s class for their assessment.
COVER ART: The front cover
of the Life is Sweet cookbook,
which was produced by
students at SBHS.
FOUR WAITAKIRI School
pupils volunteered to clean
windows for elderly residents
during their school holidays.
Rosa Jugovac, Lauren Sheere,
Holly Neale and Ollie McCosh
worked with the Te Whare
Roimata organisation on its annual
Spring Cleaning Day, which
coincided with the International
Day of Older Persons.
Te Whare Roimata co-ordinator
Jenny Smith said the day
came about following cut backs
to home help some years ago.
“We were aware that a number
of older people in the inner city
and eastern neighbourhoods
struggled to get things done in
their homes, and so this was
a neighbourhood response we
could offer them,” said Ms Smith.
“It was just lovely to have the
children involved and learn
about not only being of service
but also how we can support
older people.”
Waitakiri School spokeswoman
Kim Hillson said the pupils
were very enthusiastic about
helping elderly residents.

Rawhiti’s $2 pool opens
for another summer lap
PEGASUS POST
• By Sophie Cornish
THE ‘$2 pool’ project at Rawhiti
School will open again in
December.
Project organiser, Eastern
Community Sport and Recreation
Inc, is currently applying for
funding for the 2017/2018 season.
Funding would cover staff and
lifeguard wages, administration,
chemicals, electricity and other
items, such as sunblock and first
aid.
The city council has recommended
the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board approve a
grant of $7000 to the Eastern
Community Sport and Recreation
Inc from the discretionary
response fund.
The pool will be open seven
days a week from 11am-6pm. It
attracted more than 8000 visits
last summer.
The pool is set to open from
December 16 to January 28.
The project first began in 2013
and has continued every summer
since.
Taking Care of family

Physical Sense supports senior well-being
Eight yEars ago, the Physical sense
gym and Physio in sydenham, created a
program to help stroke survivors. Their
specialised exercise program is based
on the work of the Burwood stroke
rehabilitation team.
Participants were so happy with the
classes and the benefits they experienced
that it has now grown to four classes
each week. New classes have also been
added to be effective for those who have
suffered from Osteoporosis, intermittent
Claudication, and Diabetes. On top of
that they also run four weekly classes
for seniors. These weekly rehabilitation
and injury prevention classes can lead to
continued gym membership at a reduced
cost. Participants may also be eligible for
a WiNZ subsidy to pay for the continued
gym membership.
Join one of the classes and increase
your strength and mobility or just come
in to find out more about what assistance
is available for you.
it all starts with a free assessment
on Monday at 11.30 am where an
experienced physiotherapist will assess
your situation and advise you on the most
appropriate exercise group with the aim to
enable you to keep living as independently
as possible.
Life can get tougher as we get older,
and it’s often easy to think that we should
simply struggle on. yet a huge range of
services are available to make life easier.
Because these services are sometimes
difficult to find, a new non-profit Centre

Choosing the right heat
pump for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,
most homes include at least one heat pump,
if not a whole heating solution. They can
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more
convenient than a log burner as you just need
to press a button. But how do you decide
what is best? Choosing the right sized heat
pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort
levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore
important to get professional advice from heat
pump experts.
The range varies from wall mounted high
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted
central heating systems allowing you to have a
very discreet way of heating your whole home
to a constant temperature throughout.
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that
is suitable for the size of the space you wish
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area
taken into consideration but also, insulation,
building orientation, windows and ceiling
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps
available with different heating outputs so it
is important to select the correct size for your
requirements that will handle the job but not
be unnecessarily overpowered.
Secondly, the location of your heat pump
is also extremely important. The cheapest
installation is a back to back where the outdoor
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor
unit however this is not necessarily always
the best option. It is vital that the indoor
unit is positioned in a place that will not be
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly
in their outdoor entertaining area or right
outside their bedroom window.
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands
have come and gone over the years but there
are a number of manufacturers who provide
reputable and reliable products. All brands
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of
systems and price, so it depends on your
application as to which will be most suitable.
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are
all reliable brands backed up by good technical
after sales service.
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an
accredited installer. This will not only ensure
correct installation of your heat pump, but
also validate the manufacturers warranty.
Other things to consider when choosing a
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi
capabilities.
Heating is a major investment in your home
and it is vital to get the right advice.
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,
installation and servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as
to which system will suit your application
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no
