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 />

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 />

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 />

McCormacks and the Esplanade<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 />

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 />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<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 />

fabulous team.<br />

Village may get liquor ban<br />

Local<br />

News<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 />

course, the only other course in Christchurch. A new nine-hole course will be trialled at<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 />

stage,” said Mr Baines.<br />

HAEATA Community Campus<br />

is the latest school to roll out the<br />

a part of the Sophie Elliott<br />

discuss and teach the importance<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 />

pupils, including teachers Dave<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 />

towards new STEM (science,<br />

to build up their resources in this<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 />

Local<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 />

provides the complete early childhood<br />

service. The fluidity of care allows children<br />

to form close bonds while families enjoy<br />

peace of mind.<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 />

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 />

on the high-profile corner of Idris and<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 />

In Where the Past Begins, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club<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 />
