NEW BRIGHTON in the<br />
80s and 90s will feature in a<br />
documentary.<br />
Facebook page PierPeoples<br />
founder Todd Gibson has called<br />
the film A Generation Lost which<br />
will look back on a great era in<br />
New Brighton’s social history.<br />
Proudly locally owned and<br />
published by Star Media<br />
Award winning publishing group<br />
Linwood, Avonside, Richmond, Shirley, Burwood, Dallington, Wainoni, Bromley, Aranui, Avondale, Bexley, New Brighton, Northshore, Queenspark, Parklands, South Brighton<br />
Surfers, skateboarders and<br />
musicians will be among the<br />
people interviewed for the<br />
documentary, which Mr Gibson<br />
hopes will be finished by the end<br />
of summer.<br />
The idea came about when<br />
talking about New Brighton with<br />
friends, joking that they could<br />
write a book about all the stories<br />
they have. “Then, one day, I was<br />
just sitting around going through<br />
Netflix documentaries and<br />
thought hang on a minute, I’ve<br />
got a camera and I know how to<br />
use it. The idea just came to me.”<br />
The film will be interviewbased.<br />
“There’s so many stories that<br />
could come out of it that, in all<br />

honesty, when I think about it,<br />

Mr Gibson. He hopes the title A<br />

have a screening somewhere in<br />

Team to<br />
look at<br />
coastal<br />
problems<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
SOUTH NEW Brighton and<br />
Southshore residents will have<br />
the opportunity to create an<br />
engagement plan for their areas.<br />
The plan will then go to<br />
Regenerate Christchurch which<br />
will then use it to consult the<br />
community on issues like the red<br />
zone, coastal hazards and climate<br />
change.<br />
Called the How Team, it will be<br />
made up of about eight residents.<br />
An application process is under<br />
way. Regenerate, the city council<br />
and Environment Canterbury will<br />
also be represented.<br />
About 2000 households from<br />
Rodney St south to the end of<br />
Rockinghorse Rd are the focus of<br />
the study.<br />
Said team convener Rachel<br />
Puentener: “It is difficult to know<br />
how to have a conversation with<br />
all of these people about something<br />
as complex as the impacts of<br />
climate change.”<br />
Ms Puentener lives in South<br />
New Brighton and works parttime<br />
for Renew Brighton and<br />
Environment Canterbury.<br />
Renew Brighton is a community<br />
development organisation and<br />
charitable trust which was formed<br />
following the earthquakes with<br />
the aim of connecting various<br />

I’M LOOKING forward to the<br />
doco Todd Gibson is doing on<br />
Brighton in the 80s and 90s (see<br />
page 1).<br />
McCormacks and the Esplanade<br />
(Espie) across the road were top of<br />
the list.<br />
You could cruise the streets<br />
from New Brighton to South<br />
Brighton and never be short of<br />
finding a party, and you’d never be<br />
turned away . . . most of the time<br />
anyway.<br />
There were the burger bars in<br />
Seaview Rd and down a bit further<br />
on Hardy St that were patronised<br />
on a regular basis.<br />
A cheese, bacon and pineapple<br />
burger and a piece of fish, or a<br />
toasted sandwich, depending on<br />
how much money you had left in<br />
your pocket. Scoop of chips? Not<br />
normally – there’d be too many of<br />
your mates who would want to eat<br />
them for you.<br />
Great memories!<br />

Students create housing concepts<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
ARA INSTITUTE of<br />
Canterbury students are<br />
investigating the idea of<br />
co-housing villages in New<br />
Brighton.<br />
The plot of land in question<br />
is on the corner<br />
of Beresford and<br />
Mafeking Sts and is<br />
currently a public<br />
car park.<br />
Co-housing<br />
Irene<br />
started in Denmark<br />
in 1960, with the<br />
idea that ‘it takes<br />
Boles<br />
100 parents to raise a child’.<br />
It is community-based and<br />
sees people share tasks, such as<br />
childcare, gardening, cleaning,<br />
communal dining and food<br />
production.<br />
The idea is based around living<br />
sustainability and gives emphasis<br />
to open, shared spaces,<br />
including vegetable gardens,<br />
bike sharing, tool sheds, children’s<br />
areas and gardens.<br />
Engineering and architectural<br />
studies tutor Irene Boles said<br />
the students hope their concepts<br />
will inspire the community and<br />
suggest possible scenarios for<br />
affordable, quality housing.<br />
The students investigated different<br />
housing solutions starting<br />
from only 45 sq m of space,<br />
which can adapt and grow with<br />
the needs of a family.<br />
The focus is on environmentally-friendly<br />
medium density<br />
villages and all houses would be<br />
elevated to meet flood management<br />
requirements.<br />
The land is currently owned<br />
by Development Christchurch<br />
Ltd, a city council entity set up<br />
following the earthquakes.<br />
DCL is not associated with<br />
the students’ project, but is<br />
looking at the possibility of<br />
transforming the area into affordable<br />
housing in the future.<br />
Ms Boles says a development<br />
like this would thrive and expand<br />
quickly due to the diverse<br />
and inclusive community in<br />
New Brighton.<br />
Suitable materials for coastal<br />
conditions were also used it<br />
the designs, which age well and<br />
don’t require chemical treatments.<br />
The project is part of a course<br />
called ‘Design for Social Sustainability’<br />
for a Bachelor of<br />
MAIN GREEN:<br />
A concept<br />
for the main<br />
green area by<br />
Ara students,<br />
Nicholas<br />
Besuyen,<br />
Faridun<br />
Joya and Iris<br />
Nguyen.<br />
Architectural Studies degree at<br />
Ara. Ms Boles got the idea for<br />
the project after meeting with<br />
members of the New Brighton<br />
Sustainable Coastal Village<br />
Project.<br />
The project was founded in<br />
2013 and has been pushing<br />
for the idea on the plot of land<br />
since.<br />
Ms Boles hopes her students’<br />
research and proposals will<br />
inspire more people join the<br />
group and help the project go<br />
ahead.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
LIBRARY, PIER ACCESS<br />
North-side access to the New<br />
Brighton Pier and the steps leading<br />
to the library has been temporarily<br />
restricted due to work on the<br />
playground. The restrictions are<br />
expected to last for two to three<br />
weeks but the pier will still be<br />
accessible from the south-side.<br />
AVON RIVER LITTER CAGE<br />
A new litter cage with booms on<br />
either side has been installed on<br />
the Avon River. The previous boom<br />
was removed due to earthquake<br />
damage. The boom has been placed<br />
on Dallington Tce, below the outlet<br />
for Dudley Creek. The litter cage<br />
has a one-way flap or gate, with<br />
large booms either side of the gate.<br />
Once the litter is in the cage, it<br />
cannot be dislodged.<br />
SILVER BAND HALL LEASE<br />
The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board has approved a new lease to<br />
the New Brighton Silver Band Inc<br />
for the hall at Rawhiti Domain.<br />
The lease is for a period of up to<br />
33 years. The band’s hall is used<br />
regularly for full band rehearsals<br />
and the individual tuition of youth<br />
players. The hall is also used by<br />
other Christchurch music groups<br />
as a rehearsal space. The band was<br />
founded in 1890 and has had a long<br />
association with the city’s east.<br />

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF VET<br />
MICHELE<br />
Last month, our super vet nurse Megan wrote<br />
about what a nurses day is like at our clinic so I<br />
thought I’d give you a little insight into one of<br />
my marathon 12 hour Tuesdays, that must start<br />
with a flat white!<br />
I typically arrive in after 9am due to organizing<br />
our teenage lads for school in the morning and<br />
walking Lola before our big 12 hour Tuesday.<br />
I will then assess, liase with the hospital nurse<br />
and devise a plan for any of my sick hospital<br />
patients from the previous day. Sometimes I<br />
will pass an intensive care patient of mine onto<br />
Catherine if my day is full surgically. If there<br />
is time before consulting I will phone clients<br />
with patient updates or call them in the early<br />
afternoon when I’ve finished consulting.<br />
Typically I consult seeing patients for 3-4<br />
hours in the morning and then again another 3<br />
hours during the evening. By the time Tuesdays<br />
rock around my consulting schedule is almost<br />
full so when distressed clients phone with a very<br />
sick pet, obviously we will see them but they<br />
have to be squeezed into an already full block of<br />
consulting. If on arrival they are in urgent need<br />
of attention, either I will see them or one of our<br />
expert nurses will triage the patient, often take<br />
bloods, place a catheter and advise me of their<br />
findings. Every patient that rings is seen that<br />
day and often we see patients from other clinics<br />
because they cant be seen that day at their own<br />
Practice.<br />
It is common place that during my morning<br />
consults I have admitted sick patients for either<br />
blood testing, intravenous fluids, xrays or<br />
ultrasounds, dentistry, exploratory surgeries, or<br />
just observation. I will check on these patients<br />
progress, review any blood test results or<br />
findings, ring their owners if necessary and work<br />
out a treatment plan with the hospital nurse for<br />
that day.<br />
Once the sickies are dealt with, I turn my<br />
attention to the surgical board in which all my<br />
surgeries are highlighted in green pen!<br />
This past Tuesday was a little insane...<br />
Heres my list for that day-<br />
1. Right Stifle surgery in a sweet 1 year old<br />
Golden Retriever called “Bonnie” to repair<br />
ruptured ACL ligaments. Bonnie blew her ACL<br />
ligaments in both stifles while out exercising<br />
with other dogs, so the left is yet to be repaired<br />
in 2 weeks depending on how she’s coping after<br />
this surgery.<br />
2. A right femoral pinning<br />
and wiring in a young<br />
cat “Simba” to repair a<br />
fractured femur probably<br />
caused by a collision with<br />
a car.<br />
3. Full shoulder and<br />
elbow, spinal, lumbar<br />
and hip xrays in Murphy,<br />
a 12 year old chocolate<br />
Labrador with an<br />
annoying persistent right<br />
foreleg lameness.<br />
4. A sick, lethargic Chinchilla called Pickles who<br />
needed syringe feeding through the day.<br />
5. A Caesarian in a 2 year old Pug called<br />
“Geraldine”, who gave birth to 1 live puppy, with<br />
2 unfortunately dying.<br />
All in all I have absolutely no time to eat, drink<br />
or get into any trouble!! All the above need to be<br />
finished with and owners rung by 4pm when I<br />
start all over again with consults.<br />
Oh I forgot to mention that somewhere in the<br />
day I have<br />
a board<br />
full of<br />
messages<br />
to call<br />
clients<br />
regarding<br />
their pets<br />
blood or<br />
pathology<br />
results,<br />
medications requirements, booking in surgeries,<br />
queries from other vets or just general advice<br />
inquiries.<br />
We also look after sick animals for the SPCA<br />
and Cats Protection league. We will get a call<br />
alerting us to how far away they are and what<br />
sort of patient we are seeing, whether a medical<br />
or surgical case. That can happen anytime in<br />
our day so we fit these consultations around<br />
everything else. I feel very good being able to<br />
help these less fortunate animals and hopefully<br />
give them a chance at recovery and a great life.<br />
A day in MY LIFE is a hugely busy, fast paced<br />
one where I need to make so many important<br />
decisions in a day on the health and well being<br />
of the patients in my care. There is no time to<br />
second guess yourself, communication between<br />
my staff and my clients is key and I need to<br />
be very organized and able to prioritise all the<br />
patients in my care needing my help. We are so<br />
fortunate at McMaster & Heap to have such a<br />
highly skilled, clever and practical group of vets<br />
and nurses to be able to bounce ideas off when<br />
a difficult case needs a plan.<br />
Honestly I LOVE my job – actually it’s a<br />
priviledge to be able to help animals in the way<br />
we can and do. As you can see, every day is<br />
extremely different, very challenging at times<br />
with difficult medical cases or surgeries but the<br />
buck stops with<br />
me so to speak.<br />
I leave after my<br />
12 hour shift very<br />
tired and hungry!<br />
But with a big<br />
smile on my face<br />
knowing that I’ve<br />
made a difference<br />
in many animals<br />
lives that day<br />
and so have my<br />
fabulous team.<br />

council are in the process<br />
of developing a liquor ban<br />
for the area after calls from<br />
the community and local<br />
businesses. Calls police<br />
have ignored twice, once in<br />

Previously police said<br />
they didn’t have sufficient<br />

and the problem wasn’t<br />
bad enough.<br />

approved. This time police<br />
were the ones lobbying<br />
for it.<br />

Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Constable Conal Ross who<br />
patrols the Linwood area said the<br />
incidents of anti-social behaviour<br />
from drinking and smoking<br />
synthetic drugs are becoming<br />
more “frequent.”<br />
From business owners, workers<br />
and shoppers feeling unsafe and<br />
no longer shopping at all – Constable<br />
Ross said the behaviour<br />
is taking its toll and with police<br />
only able to issue tickets to those<br />
using drugs, its not enough.<br />
A local shop owner, who did<br />
not want to be named, said a ban<br />
would stop profits diving.<br />
It has been a long standing issue<br />
for three or four years.<br />
“It’s also just the hanging<br />
outside . . . we’ve had customers<br />
ringing up and say we love your<br />
shop but we’re not coming in<br />
anymore,” he said.<br />
Drinking is “definitely” putting<br />
shoppers off, according to<br />
supermarket owner Choy Ming<br />
Lee.<br />
“We call the police but they say<br />
they can’t do anything,” he said.<br />
A liquor ban will give police the<br />
power to finally do something,<br />
Mr Lee said.<br />
City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />
said this had been an issue on his<br />
radar since he was first elected<br />
more than a year ago.<br />
“We’ve been trying to deal with<br />
it without control . . . it just hasn’t<br />
worked,” he said.<br />
Cr Swiggs said the synthetics<br />
are the main issue but stopping<br />
people drinking on the street is<br />
a start.<br />
“We don’t want to put more<br />
pressure on police resources, but<br />
they’re [police] are there every<br />
day . . . we’ve got to try.”<br />
A police spokeswoman said<br />
there has been anti-social behaviour<br />
in the area for a long time.<br />
“Police believe alcohol is one<br />
of a number of factors at play. A<br />
liquor ban has been suggested<br />
as one way of reducing alcoholrelated<br />
harm in the area,” she<br />
said. As the matter is now with<br />
the city council, she said it would<br />

not be appropriate for police to<br />
comment further.<br />
But Mr Wallace has a different<br />
opinion. He doesn’t drink<br />
himself but he knows those who<br />
do and said the problem is much<br />
more complicated than simply<br />
banning booze.<br />
He said giving people with<br />
criminal convictions more convictions<br />
will only make it harder<br />
for them to get jobs. It’s just moving<br />
the problem elsewhere, not<br />
solving anything.<br />
“We all make mistakes. We<br />
all want a job. But its the background<br />
. . . there are a lot of reasons<br />
that turn guys to the bottle<br />
or the can to cope,” he said.<br />
Mr Hauwai said most of the<br />
beggars, don’t want to be there<br />
either. “It’s a pride thing. It’s<br />
degrading.”<br />
The pair are working with the<br />
city council to set up a drop-in<br />
centre for the area.<br />
Mr Wallace said it would give<br />
streeties an opportunity to have<br />
access to education, work skills<br />
and even simple things like fixing<br />
their bicycles.<br />
“That’ll get rid of us. It’ll give<br />
us somewhere to go,” Mr Wallace<br />
said. “We don’t need a liquor ban.<br />
What we need is a second chance<br />
and a lot of hope.”<br />
But Mr Wallace and Mr<br />
Hauwai said they do understand<br />
where the shops are coming<br />
from. “But why arrest a person<br />
because they are drinking. I understand<br />
if he’s fighting or hitting<br />
someone but not just drinking,”<br />
Mr Wallace said.<br />
The liquor ban will go before<br />
the city council at a meeting in<br />
the coming months.<br />

Queenspark Reserve.<br />
Disc golf course ready<br />
to launch in Queenspark<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A NINE-HOLE disc golf course<br />
will be trialled at Queenspark<br />
Reserve and parts of it may be<br />
open before Christmas.<br />
Parklands Residents’ Association<br />
chairman David Baines<br />
is pleased to have the support<br />
from the Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board, which approved<br />
the course at its meeting<br />
last week, pending advice from<br />
the city council parks unit.<br />
“Now the real work begins, it’s<br />
been a long time to get to this<br />

The residents’ association is<br />
now working with the Christchurch<br />
Disc Golf Association to<br />
establish the course, beginning<br />
with ordering the equipment.<br />
It hopes to have at least part of<br />
the course open by Christmas.<br />
“It will really be dependent on<br />
the timing of the supply of the<br />
equipment, because they have to<br />
manufacturer the baskets,” said<br />
Mr Baines.<br />
A promotional event will take<br />
place at Christmas in the Park<br />
on December 10.<br />
A temporary basket will be<br />
available for people to practice<br />
by her former boyfriend and<br />
university tutor, Clayton<br />
Weatherston, in 2008.<br />
The foundation aims to lower<br />
the levels of domestic violence<br />
through education.<br />
In 2013, the foundation<br />
partnered with police and the<br />
Ministry of Social Development<br />
to develop Loves-Me-Not, a oneday<br />
workshop targeted at year 12<br />
students.<br />

about where the new course<br />
will be.<br />
There is currently one other<br />
course in Christchurch at Jellie<br />
Park.<br />
It is unsure when the Parklands<br />
course may get a permanent<br />
status.<br />
“There is a little bit of uncertainty<br />
even within the council<br />
ranks about how they grant permission,<br />
whether it’s a decision<br />
they vote on or whether there is<br />
a license granted to use the park<br />
for a particular purpose,” said<br />
Mr Baines.<br />
School community officer Matt<br />
Swaney believes the course is<br />
effective for youths at this age.<br />
“They have a level of maturity<br />
in terms of they can take the<br />
information that’s been given and<br />
process it in a way that makes<br />
sense. As well as the fact that<br />
people at that age are getting into<br />
relationships or will be soon, so<br />
that information is relevant to<br />
them.”<br />

The engineering team of <strong>14</strong><br />
pupils, including teachers Dave<br />
Sutherland and Bex Osborn, were<br />
second equal in the junior section<br />
of the <strong>2017</strong> Transpower Neighbourhood<br />
Engineers Awards.<br />
They will be presented with a<br />
cheque of $1500 which will go<br />
towards new STEM (science,<br />
technology, engineering and<br />
maths) equipment for the school<br />
to build up their resources in this<br />
area.<br />
Mr Sutherland said it was the<br />
first time the school had entered<br />
the nationwide competition and<br />
year 5-8 pupils who had shown<br />
an interest and ability in engineering<br />
were chosen.<br />
“We try to look for authentic<br />
learning experiences for our<br />
pupils, so some real life problemsolving<br />
is ideal,” said Mr Sutherland.<br />
Pupils worked with an engineer<br />
who was assigned by the<br />
awards programme to identify a<br />
problem in the community and<br />
work to find a resolution.<br />
The pupils noted that during<br />
school time, their scooters were<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to an<br />
article about the Rawhiti<br />
and Avondale golf course<br />
land swap for housing<br />
which has been proposed<br />
by Regenerate Christchurch<br />
Tanya Didham – The worst<br />
thing to me about this is not<br />
losing a golf course (couldn’t<br />
give a monkey’s about that, we<br />
have loads), it is putting the<br />
‘replacement’ on the regenerating<br />
Bexley salt marsh. Critical habitat<br />
that has nowhere else to go.<br />
Whatever way you slice this one,<br />
it’s a dud.<br />
Stephan Lance Gardiner –<br />
Seeing as this is for the future of<br />
our city, people over a certain age<br />
should not have a say. As most<br />
elderly people are not open to<br />
change weather better or worse.<br />
Bruce Burns – I am firmly<br />
against the Rawhiti Domain land<br />
swap, it will be the thin end of<br />
the wedge.<br />
Les Money – Definitely<br />
against it. Natural green<br />
landscapes will bring more<br />
people to enjoy New Brighton<br />
than cheap housing. My<br />
suggestion would be to put that<br />
housing in Fendalton Park.<br />
Linda Street – I am<br />
completely opposed to the<br />
proposed land swap between<br />
Rawhiti Domain and Bexley red<br />
zone. Of all the red zoned land, it<br />
seems obvious that Bexley should<br />
be allowed to naturalise and<br />
return to wetland. Liquefaction<br />
has repeatedly occurred and,<br />
after rain, there is major ponding<br />
in this area.<br />
Bexley is currently accessible<br />
to anyone, but a golf course<br />
would limit and interfere with<br />
this public access. The major<br />
detrimental ecological impact<br />
of a golf course being located<br />
alongside the river is just plain<br />
wrong. Christchurch east has<br />
suffered enough loss of assets<br />
such as schools, bowling and<br />
croquet clubs, shops and<br />
churches, so why would anyone<br />
think it is a good idea to lose<br />
a golf course by swapping two<br />
golf courses for one? There is<br />
already ample space left vacant<br />
for housing after the closure of<br />
so many of our local schools<br />
such as Central New Brighton,<br />
Freeville, Wainoni, Aranui<br />
and Burwood to name a few.<br />
GUARDIANS: Ruthie Emeny and Cathy Baker from the<br />
Guardians of Rawhiti are firmly against the land swap proposal.<br />
The Guardians of Rawhiti are<br />
absolutely right to fear that this<br />
would be the beginning of the<br />

article about rabbits living<br />
on the Anzac Drive, New<br />
Brighton and Travis Rds<br />
roundabouts and whether<br />
they should be culled or<br />
caught and released<br />
Gill Williams – For the last 11<br />
years, I have driven past pukekos,<br />
canadian geese, ducks and once<br />
a loose bull in the New Brighton<br />
Rd and Travis Rd area.<br />
There has never been any<br />
mention of these animals being<br />
a problem in the tabloids, or<br />
anywhere else to my knowledge.<br />
The rabbits have been on the<br />
roundabouts for several months<br />
now, with no mention of them<br />
being regarded as unwelcome or<br />
harmful and needing to be dealt<br />
with.<br />
Therefore, I think the rabbits<br />
should be caught and released so<br />
they enjoy their lives with no risk<br />
to them or anyone else.<br />
Donna Hancock – Why<br />
do they have to interfere at all?<br />
Bunnies are happy and probably<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
quite safe, drivers are responsible<br />
for themselves. Live and let live.<br />
Rosie Carney – I am<br />
emailing you as I feel very<br />
passionate about the survival of<br />
these beautiful rabbits on Anzac<br />
Drive, New Brighton and Travis<br />
Rds.<br />
They have obviously evolved<br />
since the earthquakes, and<br />
them being black in colour, I<br />
would think they were originally<br />
domestic animals that have<br />
bred. I think if they are culled<br />
there will be an outcry from the<br />
general public.<br />
I live near the roundabouts and<br />
don’t see them everyday, they<br />
are under the bushes most of<br />
the time. I think they should be<br />
caught together as a group and<br />
relocated together to another site.<br />
Who are we to cull animals if is<br />
is the easiest option, makes one<br />
glad we are human and not an<br />
animal.<br />
Claire Coveney – The<br />
black rabbits do not need to<br />
be culled, they are not hurting<br />
anyone. They could be humanely<br />
sterilised. The biggest pest on this<br />
planet is the two-legged human,<br />
who is responsible for destruction<br />
of habitat and pollution.<br />
Such hypocrisy about pests<br />
in NZ. The road should never<br />
have gone through Travis<br />
Wetland as wildlife is killed<br />
by the next biggest pest, motor<br />
vehicles.<br />

Burnside-based preschool and nursery,<br />
The Enchanted Garden, was handed over<br />
to new owner-operator Debbie Taylor in<br />
October. She has been in early childhood<br />
management for over seven years and has<br />
three children of her own. Along with the<br />
familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s<br />
vision is to continue the high quality care<br />
and reputation that The Enchanted Garden<br />
has maintained since 1995.<br />
The centre offers children a home away<br />
from home, with a philosophy based on<br />
holistic, individualised care. They engage<br />
higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow<br />
better care and attention. The centre<br />
is staffed with a team of professional<br />
educators and nurturers who are highly<br />
trained and passionate about creating<br />
happy experiences.<br />
The setting is warm and home-like in<br />
nature while the playground and indoor<br />
environment have been designed to allow<br />
children to safely explore and learn with<br />
confidence. This is supported by a strong<br />
curriculum designed for active and exciting<br />
play.<br />
With 10 spaces in their nursery, and<br />
23 spaces in their preschool, the centre<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
HOW TO BARBECUE<br />
PERFECT RIBEYE STEAK<br />
Ingredients<br />
Ribeye steaks, at least an 1.5<br />
inches thick<br />
Olive oil<br />
Salt<br />
Fresh ground black pepper<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat your grill to high heat.<br />
If you have a sear burner and a<br />
steak that is more than an inch<br />
thick, get one side of the grill<br />
going at about medium-high in<br />
case you need to cook it through<br />
a little more after the sear.<br />
Remove the ribeye steaks from<br />
their packaging and rub them<br />
down with some olive oil and<br />
then coat a generous amount<br />
of salt and freshly ground black<br />
pepper. The olive oil provides<br />
just enough fat to help the salt<br />
and pepper create a great, caramelised<br />
crust.<br />
Clean and lubricate your grill<br />
grates with some cooking oil on<br />
a rolled up piece of paper towel<br />
(using tongs, of course).<br />
Place the ribeye steaks on the<br />
hottest part of the grill and then<br />
stand ready with the tongs.<br />
At this point, you are on flareup<br />
watch. The fat dripping off of<br />
the steaks could create a flare-up.<br />
If a flare-up occurs and doesn’t<br />
go away in a few seconds, simply<br />
use your tongs to slide the steaks<br />
away from the open flame until<br />
the flame dies down and then<br />
move them back over the heat.<br />
Continue to grill with the lid<br />
open for about 4-6min.<br />
Flip the steaks over onto the<br />
other side, still over the hottest<br />
part of the grill.<br />
Grill the ribeye steaks for an<br />
additional 4-6min on the other<br />
side, lid open, for a medium-rare<br />
delicious steak.<br />
Remove the steaks from the<br />
grill and allow to rest for 5min<br />
before serving. The resting<br />
period is important so that the<br />
juices don’t run out when you cut<br />
into the ribeye, so be patient.<br />
AVOCADO AND<br />
CARAMELISED PINEAPPLE<br />
SALAD<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 Tbsp Brown sugar<br />
½ Pineapple, peeled<br />
2 Tbsp Butter<br />
3 Avocados, firm but ripe<br />
½ Red onion<br />
100g Blue cheese, creamy<br />
½ Red chilli<br />
2 cups Salad leaves, washed<br />
Dressing<br />
1 Orange, zest and juice<br />
1 Chilli, finely chopped<br />
1 tsp Ground cumin<br />
4 Tbsp Avocado oil<br />
1 to taste Salt & freshly ground<br />
pepper<br />
Directions<br />
Prepare all the ingredients.<br />
Core the pineapple, then cut<br />
the flesh into 3cm cubes and<br />
sprinkle with the brown sugar.<br />
Put a frying pan on to heat, then<br />
add the butter. When the butter<br />
is starting to sizzle, add the pineapple<br />
pieces and fry over a gentle<br />
heat until they are caramelised<br />
on all sides.<br />
Cool. Cut the avocados into<br />
2-3cm cubes. Break the cheese<br />
into small pieces and slice the<br />
onion paper-thin. Slice the chilli<br />
into thin pieces. Make the dressing<br />
by shaking all the ingredients<br />
together in a jar.<br />
To serve, line a flat serving<br />
plate with the fresh salad leaves.<br />
Toss the avocado, pineapple,<br />
cheese, chilli and red onion<br />
together on top of the leaves.<br />
Drizzle over the dressing and<br />
serve at once.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />
could it be mainly my muscles?<br />
The team at Physical Sense in<br />
Sydenham sees clients with a<br />
range of symptoms but many<br />
of their middle-aged and senior<br />
clients visit complaining of pain in one or<br />
both hips.<br />
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />
that a major part of the pain could be due<br />
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />
for the pain may be the muscles around<br />
the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back<br />
muscle could also be the cause, as shown in<br />
the image.<br />
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old<br />
client with severe arthritis who walked with<br />
a stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair,<br />
I cannot put any weight through my right<br />
leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”.<br />
“Within 4 treatments, she was walking with<br />
her stick but without the severe pain,” says<br />
Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors<br />
that made her muscles spasm but the other<br />
was that older people move less and the<br />
flexed position the hip is in when we sit is<br />
particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy<br />
with the fact that although the client was 89<br />
and could have been “given up on” or told to<br />
live with the pain, she made a difference to<br />
Hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />
her health and wellbeing.<br />
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />
techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />
The client also gets a home exercise program<br />
designed to mobilize and stretch the hip,<br />
strengthen the important core muscles and<br />
increase general strength and balance. They<br />
teach a movement sequence that stretches<br />
the hip in all directions whilst the client is<br />
able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for<br />
older or less mobile clients.<br />
In many cases having the muscles<br />
released and being taught how to maintain<br />
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. If<br />
severe arthritis is the underlying cause, some<br />
Back hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />
maintenance therapy may be necessary, but<br />
that is often more affordable and, for older<br />
patients, better tolerated than surgery. In<br />
very few treatments the client will know if<br />
it is going to work for them or not, without<br />
financial commitment.<br />
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample<br />
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />
on to the sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />
hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
Experience comfort! Experience<br />
technology!!!<br />
Dr Keith Chiang and his team at<br />
Fendalton Dental Surgery are excited to<br />
offer the very latest in dental imaging<br />
technology. They have taken delivery of<br />
several sophisticated dental equipment<br />
over the recent months. All designed<br />
to enhance patient diagnosis, improve<br />
their comfort and safety during dental<br />
procedures by upgrading to the latest<br />
available. Keith believes in constantly<br />
updating himself with recent advances<br />
by attending several courses in NZ<br />
and overseas. “Each course teaches me<br />
something new and makes me revisit<br />
Dentistry with a renewed passion”.<br />
Keith with<br />
the CBCT<br />
The newest arrival is the Cone Beam<br />
Computed Tomograph (CBCT), which<br />
provides a 3D image of the patient’s<br />
jaws and teeth through the latest digital<br />
imaging technology. As Keith explains,<br />
the current digital X-rays shows only<br />
a 2D image. The image is crisper but<br />
it sometimes leaves a few questions<br />
unanswered. Now with the complete 3D<br />
technology, he is able to have a much<br />
better understanding of problems in<br />
the patient’s mouth. “It’s a huge game<br />
changer and takes diagnostic imaging<br />
to a totally different level. It’s like having<br />
Superman’s extra pair of eyes to help with<br />
the diagnosis,” he says. “And it saves time<br />
as patients do not have to be referred<br />
elsewhere for the scans as we have the<br />
CBCT machine in our practice and the<br />
scan costs cheaper comparatively too”.<br />
The Surgery has also acquired a stateof-the-art<br />
patient sedation monitoring<br />
system, Capnograph, which is used for<br />
patients under IV sedation. Surgical or<br />
Dental treatment under IV sedation is an<br />
area of special interest for Keith, who is<br />
a dental surgeon, and he has carried out<br />
more than 1800 IV procedures since 2008.<br />
“Patient safety is our utmost priority when<br />
they are under sedation. Our Capnograph<br />
monitors their vital signs namely the<br />
respiratory gaseous exchange of oxygen<br />
and carbon dioxide levels, heart rate and<br />
Non-invasive intermittent blood pressure<br />
throughout the procedure. This not only<br />
benefits the patient, but also gives the<br />
dentist a sense of reassurance.”<br />
Associate dentist, Dr Zohnia McNeill<br />
has a keen focus in cosmetic and<br />
restorative dentistry, restoring the smile<br />
for people of all ages and from all walks<br />
of life. She shares the same passion for<br />
dentistry and is happy to put a smile<br />
back on the patients face. Oral Health<br />
Therapist, Amy Lee is dedicated to<br />
looking after the Oral hygiene of the<br />
patients. Her role involves treating gum<br />
diseases, educate people about care of<br />
The Fendalton Dental team<br />
their teeth and gums to help prevent oral<br />
diseases and maintain good oral health as<br />
well as overall general health.<br />
The Fendalton Dental Surgery<br />
provides General dental services with<br />
a focus on Surgical and Restorative<br />
Dentistry. The team warmly welcomes<br />
you to enjoy the friendly environment<br />
and the experience the new technology<br />
they provide. The Surgery is located<br />

Oxygen<br />
by William Trubridge<br />
The incredible under-water world of William Trubridge. A memoir<br />
of an aquatic affinity, the power of the subconscious mind and<br />
testing the limits of human physiology.<br />
In a sport where failure usually means blacking out, it is a<br />
freediver’s daily life to contend with suffocation, narcosis,<br />
hallucinations, lactic acidosis, compressed lungs, and immense<br />
water-column pressure - all while diving into depths of ink black<br />
ocean.<br />
Exquisitely written, Oxygen is a mind-altering and immersive<br />
coming-of-age story about a boy who grew up on a sailing boat,<br />
with the sea his classroom and playground. It is about fighting<br />
the trappings of life on land, and pushing the limits of human<br />
physiology, to become the world’s greatest freediver.<br />

By Amy Tan<br />
In Where the Past Begins, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club<br />
and The Valley of Amazement Amy Tan is at her most intimate in<br />
revealing the truths and inspirations that underlie her extraordinary<br />
fiction. By delving into vivid memories of her traumatic childhood,<br />
confessions of self-doubt in her journals, and heartbreaking letters<br />
to and from her mother, she gives evidence to all that made it<br />
both unlikely and inevitable that she would become a writer.<br />
Through spontaneous storytelling, she shows how a fluid fictional<br />
state of mind unleashed near-forgotten memories that became<br />
the emotional nucleus of her novels. Supplied with candor and<br />
characteristic humor, Where the Past Begins takes readers into the<br />
idiosyncratic workings of her writer’s mind, a journey that explores<br />
memory, imagination, and truth, with fiction serving as both her<br />
divining rod and link to meaning.<br />

include the addition of LED Lighting in<br />
the lounge, hallway and kitchen. On top<br />
of this the new carpet was only installed at<br />
the beginning of October. The home also<br />
offers double internal access garaging and<br />
a separate laundry as well. The large open<br />
lounge is spacious enough to cater for large<br />
furniture and houses the log burner fire and<br />
also the heat pump ensuring the home is<br />
warm and cool all year round on demand.<br />
The lounge leads through to the dining space<br />
and then the kitchen and makes great use of<br />
natural lighting. The outside spaces of the<br />
home hold established plantings and plenty<br />
of space to spread out at the end of the day.<br />
There is also the option if fencing in more<br />
of the frontage to create another private<br />
yard space if you so desire. My vendors are<br />
extremely motivated to make the next move<br />
with plans to move out of Christchurch set<br />
in stone. I this looks like your next home<br />
call Jonathan and his team today to find<br />
out more. Deadline Sale Closing <strong>November</strong><br />
