Oli back home after<br />

a year on<br />

the prowl<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

OLI THE cat is back.<br />

Well, owner Lyn<br />

Gottermeyer is 99 per cent sure<br />

it’s Oli.<br />

The big maine coon lookalike<br />

went missing in June last<br />

year and Mrs Gottermeyer,<br />

who lives in Marshland, said<br />

after months and months of<br />

searching, she’d given up any<br />

hopes of finding him when<br />

her daughter noticed a post<br />

on the Lost Cats Christchurch<br />

Facebook page last month.<br />

“ ‘Mum, I think that’s Oli,’<br />

she said. I took a look and he<br />

had the same markings. It was<br />

a lady in Spreydon who’d found<br />

him, he’d been hanging around<br />

her place and then took up<br />

residence in her garden.”<br />

Jeanette O’Connor, who<br />

posted his photo on the<br />

Facebook page, has a labrador<br />

and three cats of her own and<br />

Oli had been going in and<br />

stealing food from them.<br />

“She cried when I went and<br />

picked him up,” said Mrs<br />

Gottermeyer.<br />

So how did he end up<br />

travelling from Marshland to<br />

Spreydon?<br />

“I think either someone<br />

took him because of the way<br />

he looks, or he’s got into<br />

someone’s vehicle. We<br />

had contractors around<br />

the day he went missing<br />

and he’s very inquisitive.<br />

He might have climbed<br />

into their van.”<br />

Mrs Gottermeyer kept<br />

him inside for a week<br />

after he returned, just<br />

to make sure he didn’t<br />

disappear again.<br />

She thinks he must have<br />

eaten well as he’s “a bit<br />

broader” than when he left.<br />

“I’ve noticed he doesn’t like<br />

my husband as much, but<br />

I’ve got three fox terriers and<br />

they always got on well. One<br />

of them went and laid down<br />

in front of him. He likes to<br />

be outside; he always used to<br />

sleep on the back porch but<br />

now he goes down to the creek<br />

somewhere and gets soaking<br />

wet. He’s one of a kind, Oli.”<br />

MEOW: Pet Oli is back with<br />

owner Lyn Gottermeyer after<br />

disappearing for a year.<br />

forward<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

MEASURES TO improve the<br />

safety of school children crossing<br />

Ferry Rd may be brought<br />

forward.<br />

The Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

will ask the city council to fast<br />

track time frames for speed<br />

reduction measures outside<br />

Te Waka Unua and St Anne’s<br />

Catholic schools.<br />

The move comes after the city<br />

council’s Ferry Rd Masterplan,<br />

which was meant to solve the<br />

safety problems by reducing speed<br />

limits along sections of Ferry Rd,<br />

was pushed back.<br />

Board member Alexandra Davids<br />

said safety needed to<br />

come “before masterplan time<br />

frames.”<br />

The two schools want the speed<br />

reduced from 50km/h to 40km/h<br />

during school pick-up and dropoff<br />

times along with flashing<br />

speed reduction signs.<br />

Home, Sea & Between<br />

JoSH BaSHford<br />

The imagery in Josh Bashford’s new body of work was inspired by last summer’s<br />

early morning and late evening fishing adventures. Adventures such as heading<br />

40km offshore to fish for Groper off Banks Peninsula, or ducking down to<br />

Birdlings Flat for a relaxing evening surf casting on the beach, fishing the Rakaia<br />

River or Hurunui river mouth early morning for the elusive Chinook salmon.<br />

These places are of great significance for Josh Bashford. They provide him with<br />

not only a harvest of fresh kai for friends and family, but also the visual material<br />

for his art making.<br />

This visual material is sometimes captured on<br />

a GoPro camera, but more often it’s caught by<br />

simply being physically present in these very<br />

special places. It’s the way a bird may move<br />

through the air, a sudden glimpse of a fish<br />

breaching, or the excitement of hundreds of birds<br />

and kahawai chasing after small bait fish along<br />

the beach. All this strong imagery settles itself<br />

in Josh’s mind and has allowed him to produce<br />

this new body of limited edition woodcut prints<br />

on canvas.<br />

Josh’s latest exhibition named ‘Home, Sea &<br />

Between’ takes place at Little River Gallery from<br />

<strong>July</strong> 8th until August 2nd.

Council’s $25m property buy-up<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

MORE THAN $25 million has<br />

been spent on buying properties<br />

for cycleways, roading projects<br />

and flood remediation in the last<br />

two years.<br />

Figures released under the<br />

Local Government Official<br />

Information and Meetings Act<br />

show since November 2015,<br />

the city council has bought 42<br />

properties and pieces of land,<br />

costing $25.1 million.<br />

Two of the latest purchases,<br />

finalised last month, were<br />

properties in Somerfield that<br />

needed to be bought to make<br />

way for the Quarryman’s Trail<br />

cycleway.<br />

The $915,000 purchase of<br />

the properties, on Roker and<br />

Barrington Sts, was contentious<br />

as the owners were not keen to<br />

sell.<br />

It spent just over $2 million<br />

buying land parcels and properties<br />

as part of the Northern Arterial<br />

project.<br />

They included some on<br />

Winters Rd, and others on<br />

Cranford St and Innes Rd to<br />

make room for Cranford St to<br />

become four-laned as part of the<br />

work.<br />

Some properties were bought<br />

for flood remediation plans for<br />

the upper Heathcote storage<br />

project, the Styx stormwater<br />

management plan, and Bells<br />

Creek.<br />

On top of that 13 houses<br />

and properties were bought in<br />

Flockton Basin at a cost of<br />

$3 million. Some were bought<br />

so the property could be used<br />

for the Dudley Creek Flood<br />

Remediation Scheme.<br />

Seven were properties the city<br />

council had to buy because they<br />

could not be protected from<br />

flooding, even after the $48<br />

COSTLY:<br />

The city<br />

council<br />

bought this<br />

$545,000<br />

Barrington<br />

St property<br />

to demolish<br />

and make<br />

way for a<br />

cycleway.<br />

million scheme is completed.<br />

Two street frontages along Lincoln<br />

Rd were bought last month<br />

for its road widening project,<br />

costing $24,240. From 2011 to<br />

November 2015, the city council<br />

spent $65.1 million on property<br />

purchases.<br />

In Brief<br />

GRANT FOR CENTRE<br />

The Pūkeko Centre development<br />

has been awarded a $400,000<br />

grant from the lottery community<br />

facilities fund. The joint venture<br />

between two sports clubs has seen<br />

the relocation of two buildings<br />

from the now closed Freeville<br />

School on to the Parklands<br />

Bowling Club site. The money will<br />

go towards setting up the former<br />

school hall to provide a venue for<br />

indoor sports, performances and<br />

events.<br />

FUMES CAUSE INJURY<br />

A man was taken to Christchurch<br />

Hospital after fumes from a<br />

generator filled the building he<br />

was in. St John were called to the<br />

scene on Travis Country Drive,<br />

Burwood, at about 7.40am last<br />

Wednesday and found a man<br />

feeling dizzy from the fumes.<br />

Firefighters were called to assist<br />

ambulance staff and he was taken<br />

to hospital with moderate injuries.<br />

QEII DRIVE EXPANSION<br />

Steel safety barriers are being<br />

installed on QE II Drive this<br />

week, from Grimseys to Innes Rd.<br />

There will also be site clearance<br />

work involving tree felling and<br />

vegetation removal along QE II<br />

Drive, allowing work to start on<br />

building two new traffic lanes.<br />

FLAME FILES<br />

Rescuing animals<br />

all part of the job<br />

• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire<br />

investigator<br />

I’M NOT sure what got into the<br />

pets of Halswell last week but<br />

over just two days our crews<br />

were called to three animal<br />

rescues in the suburb.<br />

First a dog chased a rabbit<br />

underneath a childcare centre –<br />

and stayed there.<br />

It was retrieved. Second, a<br />

horse was stuck down a bank at<br />

Kennedy’s Bush. With local help<br />

and a vet on-site it was winched<br />

up.<br />

Finally, an old fashioned catup-a-tree<br />

event in Arkwright Pl<br />

shows no record of just what was<br />

done in the radio message log.<br />

It might still be there. But I<br />

doubt it.<br />

To complete this animal report<br />

a mama duck from Bromley,<br />

who is a bit out of season with<br />

her troop of ducklings, fell into<br />

a drain only to be rescued by the<br />

good lads of the Woolston Fire<br />

Station.<br />

A bit early in the year you’d<br />

think. I hope they all survive.<br />

There were fires of course.<br />

A very elderly lady wielding a<br />

walking stick actively prevented<br />

neighbours evacuating her from<br />

her home in Sockburn after a<br />

kitchen fire on June 24.<br />

Consequently, she was treated<br />

for smoke inhalation at the<br />

scene.<br />

Someone in Redwood used a<br />

toaster as a cigarette lighter by<br />

lying it on its side on June 23.<br />

Not too surprisingly the<br />

toaster caught fire.<br />

There’s a thousand ways your<br />

house can catch fire.<br />

But there are many hundreds<br />

of thousands of houses.<br />

Most will never burn.<br />

A bit of common sense makes<br />

it much less likely.<br />

Just how common that common<br />

sense is, I sometimes<br />

wonder.<br />

We said:<br />

Linwood College is on<br />

the move to the former<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School<br />

site while the school is<br />

being rebuilt<br />

You said:<br />

Laura McIntosh – Lots of<br />

chopping and changing and<br />

moving of sites to create this<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School/<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School super<br />

school. Seems like they should<br />

be staying where they are. Is<br />

Linwood going to adopt this new<br />

student-led learning policy like<br />

Haeata?<br />

Lisa Armstrong – This has<br />

made me so mad. I have had<br />

several chats with the principal<br />

and others and they all said that<br />

they won’t be moving, as they<br />

didn’t want it to interfere with<br />

the students and thought moving<br />

VISION: Architect Carsten Auer will redesign Linwood College,<br />

which will move to the former Avonside Girls’ High School site<br />

while it is rebuilt.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER ​<br />

sites would do more harm<br />

than good. The original plan<br />

was to do one block that was not<br />

being used at the time, i.e build<br />

a new gym on site, then remove<br />

the old building.<br />

Sounds like saving dollars<br />

became the first priority.<br />

Stephan Lance Gardiner<br />

– Fact of the day, the grounds<br />

were used as the morge for the<br />

influenza pandemic during the<br />

war before the school was built.<br />

Lower speed zones may be brought forward<br />

•From page 1<br />

But St Anne’s was facing the<br />

prospect of a three to five-year<br />

wait after the Linwood Village<br />

project was met with public criticism<br />

and was taken back by the<br />

city council.<br />

Principal Dallas Wichman<br />

said that was “a lot of time in the<br />

meantime for someone to get run<br />

over.”<br />

He was pleased to hear that<br />

the city council may look at<br />

prioritising the speed zones.<br />

“There’s a lot of schools higher<br />

up the order (for getting speed<br />

zones) which are in quiet roads,<br />

compared to us. In terms of the<br />

volume of cars, we must be one of<br />

the highest in the city.”<br />

Traffic figures from April last<br />

year showed along Ferry Rd<br />

between Osborne St and Aldwins<br />

Rd an average of 24,600 vehicles<br />

per day used the road with 1810<br />

during peak traffic from 8am-<br />

9am and the same figures for the<br />

school peak between 3pm and<br />

4pm.<br />

A 1759-signature petition was<br />

presented to the city council in<br />

March, asking for its support in<br />

lowering speed limits outside the<br />

schools.<br />

Meanwhile, Linwood Avenue<br />

School is to have a speed cushion<br />

and a ‘recommended’ reduced<br />

SPEED: Te Waka Unua and St Anne’s Catholic schools are still fighting to have reduced speed limits and flashing speed reduction<br />

Principal Blair Dravitski said<br />

it would hopefully deter drivers<br />

from using the slipway as a<br />

shortcut to the Aldwins Rd traffic<br />

lights.<br />

He said the school was not<br />

eligible for an official, flashing<br />

already had a level crossing.<br />

Gym club stumbles<br />

over QE II Park build<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

IT’S BACK to the drawing<br />

board for the Christchurch<br />

School of Gymnastics after its<br />

proposed new building site was<br />

rejected by residents.<br />

The club has been in its<br />

current spot at QE II Park for<br />

21 years, but says the cost of<br />

repairing the building is high<br />

and it wants to relocate closer to<br />

the new QE II Recreation and<br />

Sports Centre.<br />

However, Dan O’Sullivan,<br />

who lives near Ascot Ave,<br />

said he and at least 25 nearby<br />

residents aren’t happy about the<br />

spot that has been chosen, and<br />

they’ve made their voices heard<br />

in two recent meetings at the<br />

proposed site.<br />

Coastal-Ward city councillor<br />

David East said a “co-operative”<br />

discussion was held on<br />

Thursday between the CSG,<br />

city council staff, Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board<br />

members and residents.<br />

As a result, a new consultation<br />

document will now be<br />

drawn up and delivered to the<br />

local community within the<br />

next few weeks. It will present<br />

several options which may include<br />

the original QE II site.<br />

Mr O’Sullivan said he was<br />

pleased there would be other<br />

options put on the table as the<br />

current proposal was in the<br />

middle of the sports grounds<br />

and partially covered one of the<br />

rugby fields.<br />

“It’s going to be an eyesore,<br />

built on a prime position in the<br />

middle of the park. That rugby<br />

field is well-used. They’ve already<br />

covered up a playing field<br />

for the schools (Shirley Boys<br />

and Avonside Girls’ High).”<br />

“It seems like there’s a land<br />

grab. We don’t mind the<br />

schools, but the gym school,<br />

which is a private company,<br />

doesn’t need to be there. It’s an<br />

ugly, tilt-slab, single-use building,<br />

a private facility in the middle<br />

of a public park.”<br />

“They’re trying to piggy-back<br />

on the pool but we can’t see<br />

their point (about wanting to be<br />

closer to the recreation centre).”<br />

The club has said it wants to<br />

remain close to the recreation<br />

centre “so members could<br />

potentially use both facilities in<br />

one visit.”<br />

Following further public<br />

consultation, the community<br />

board will make a final<br />

recommendation on a site to<br />

the city council.<br />

HELP: City council ranger Kenny Rose helped Isla Cook to place her penguin<br />

nesting box at Harris Bay. ​<br />

Nine-year-old’s bid to<br />

help save the penguins<br />

HILLVIEW Christian<br />

School pupil Isla Cook is<br />

doing her part to protect<br />

endangered penguins.<br />

The nine-year-old turned<br />

her school project into a<br />

conservation reality this<br />

month, placing her homemade<br />

penguin nesting box<br />

on site at Harris Bay, near<br />

Taylors Mistake.<br />

Isla has been doing an<br />

endangered species topic<br />

at school and chose to do<br />

her project on the whiteflippered<br />

penguin – which<br />

involved making an action<br />

plan on how to save it.<br />

“I chose the white-flippered<br />

penguin because it<br />

lives close to us so I could<br />

actually do something. We<br />

found out you could sponsor<br />

a penguin nesting box<br />

on Quail Island, but that<br />

cost $500, so I persuaded<br />

dad to help me build one,”<br />

Isla said.<br />

After some home handywork,<br />

the box was ready<br />

to go and Isla emailed the<br />

Department of Conservation<br />

to get advice on where<br />

she could put it.<br />

DOC put her in touch<br />

with city council ranger<br />

Kenny Rose and the pair<br />

worked together to put the<br />

nesting box in place by the<br />

pine trees at Harris Bay.<br />

“We dug out a bit of the<br />

hill and had to lever out<br />

all sorts of rocks. Then we<br />

put the box in place and<br />

chose a nice view for the<br />

penguin and then covered<br />

the box with big stones and<br />

rocks and earth to keep the<br />

penguin safe and make it<br />

look like part of the hill,”<br />

Isla said.<br />

The Harris Bay colony<br />

has around 65 breeding<br />

pairs which produce between<br />

80 to 90 chicks each<br />

season.<br />

Mr Rose said Isla’s<br />

project was a fantastic<br />

initiative for someone<br />

so young, and he looked<br />

forward to seeing the<br />

nesting box become home<br />

to a penguin.<br />

“It’s so great to see kids<br />

taking the initiative to do<br />

conservation and wildlife<br />

projects. As rangers, that<br />

is so wonderful to see, so<br />

we were more than happy<br />

to help Isla complete<br />

her project and get the<br />

penguin nesting box<br />

installed,” Mr Rose said.<br />

Isla plans to revisit the<br />

nesting box site in the<br />

future and hopefully plant<br />

some Ngaio on it to make<br />

it look nice.<br />

Council makes peace<br />

with RSA over Brighton memorial panels<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

AN APOLOGY has been<br />

extended to the New Brighton<br />

RSA after it copped some of<br />

the blame for the “ugly” panels<br />

installed around the war<br />

memorial by the city council.<br />

The $25,000 panels were<br />

intended to protect the New<br />

Brighton War Memorial from<br />

vandalism.<br />

But after their installation<br />

in May, they received almost<br />

universal condemnation from<br />

the community. The panels were<br />

called “hideous”, “horrible” and<br />

compared to the Berlin Wall.<br />

City council staff apologised<br />

for their poor communication on<br />

the issue at a meeting with New<br />

Brighton RSA executive manager<br />

Garry House on Friday.<br />

Mr House said although they’d<br />

agreed to the panels, they had<br />

never seen an image of what they<br />

would look like.<br />

He said the city council<br />

had failed to communicate<br />

directly with the New Brighton<br />

RSA, instead directing<br />

their correspondence to the<br />

Christchurch RSA, a completely<br />

separate group.<br />

Mr House said he was keen to<br />

move on and was working cooperatively<br />

with the city council<br />

to resolve the issue.<br />

Andrew Rutledge, city<br />

council head of parks, said the<br />

city council would continue to<br />

“monitor the situation and liaise<br />

with the community to ascertain<br />

if and when it might be prudent<br />

to remove the barriers.”<br />

Mr House said the city council<br />

had asked him to consult New<br />

Brighton RSA members about<br />

different options for protecting<br />

the memorial.<br />

One option could involve<br />

removing the panels but making<br />

the area more visible through<br />

increased lighting, signage and<br />

cameras.<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board chairwoman Kim Money,<br />

who was also at Friday’s meeting,<br />

said it was good to get everybody<br />

around the table.<br />

“We want to look forward<br />

rather than back.”<br />

Mr House said he hoped to<br />

meet with the city council again<br />

this week after speaking to RSA<br />

members.<br />

Rescuing animals all part of the job<br />

• By Mark Thomas –<br />

specialist fire investigator<br />

I’M NOT sure what got into<br />

the pets of Halswell last week<br />

but over just two days our<br />

crews were called to three<br />

animal rescues in the suburb.<br />

First a dog chased a rabbit<br />

underneath a childcare centre<br />

– and stayed there.<br />

It was retrieved. Second, a<br />

horse was stuck down a bank<br />

at Kennedy’s Bush. With<br />

local help and a vet on-site it<br />

was winched up.<br />

Finally, an old fashioned<br />

cat-up-a-tree event in Arkwright<br />

Pl shows no record<br />

of just what was done in the<br />

radio message log.<br />

It might still be there. But I<br />

doubt it.<br />

To complete this animal<br />

report a mama duck from<br />

Bromley, who is a bit out<br />

of season with her troop of<br />

ducklings, fell into a drain<br />

only to be rescued by the<br />

good lads of the Woolston<br />

Fire Station.<br />

A bit early in the year<br />

you’d think. I hope they all<br />

survive.<br />

There were fires of course.<br />

A very elderly lady wielding<br />

a walking stick actively<br />

prevented neighbours evacuating<br />

her from her home in<br />

Sockburn after a kitchen fire<br />

on June 24.<br />

Consequently, she was<br />

treated for smoke inhalation<br />

at the scene.<br />

Someone in Redwood used<br />

a toaster as a cigarette lighter<br />

by lying it on its side on June<br />

23.<br />

Not too surprisingly the<br />

toaster caught fire.<br />

There’s a thousand ways<br />

your house can catch fire.<br />

But there are many hundreds<br />

of thousands of houses.<br />

Most will never burn.<br />

A bit of common sense<br />

makes it much less likely.<br />

Just how common that<br />

common sense is, I sometimes<br />

wonder.<br />

Golden anniversary for jewellers<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

ANDREW KELSO is fascinated<br />

by jewellery.<br />

The 45-year-old took over<br />

Westende Jewellers from his<br />

father Roger in 2013, but he’s<br />

worked in the business for 30<br />

years, starting as a youngster doing<br />

engraving work after school.<br />

He loves seeing the hallmarks<br />

on a ring or bracelet, telling<br />

where and when it was made.<br />

Vintage and antique pieces<br />

have become an increasingly<br />

important part of the business, a<br />

way to differentiate from massproduced<br />

chain stores.<br />

Westende celebrate their 50th<br />

anniversary this year and Mr<br />

Kelso says helping customers is<br />

still one of the most fulfilling<br />

parts of the business.<br />

“A lady we helped recently had<br />

developed arthritis in her hands<br />

and had to cut her rings off but<br />

they meant a lot to her, so we<br />

made a bangle and set her stones<br />

into it,” he said.<br />

“There’s nothing more satisfying<br />

than a remake; (it might<br />

be) helping a couple with their<br />

engagement or wedding bands,<br />

sourcing stones – just seeing a<br />

client’s dream become a reality.”<br />

BLING: Andrew Kelso celebrates the 50th anniversary of the family-owned Westende jewellery<br />

store.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

Mr Kelso’s father was a police<br />

detective in 1967 when he<br />

decided to buy a pawn shop and<br />

costume jeweller, also called<br />

Westende Jewellers, at 207 Manchester<br />

St.<br />

He’d married Margaret a year<br />

earlier and the couple, who were<br />

in their early 20s, weren’t keen<br />

on a possible transfer out of<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Roger already knew a bit about<br />

the business having visited<br />

regularly during policing work,<br />

so they took the plunge and<br />

worked long hours over the<br />

next few years to transform the<br />

pawnbrokers into a fine jewellery<br />

business.<br />

They shifted to the corner of<br />

Manchester and Worcester Sts in<br />

the 1980s.<br />

But, after the September 4,<br />

2010, earthquake, the business<br />

settled in Colombo St, Sydenham.<br />

Dealing in vintage goods<br />

means they have to take precautions,<br />

always ask for identification<br />

and hold the pieces for a<br />

period of time.<br />

“If there’s any reason staff<br />

are suspicious, they’ll let police<br />

know. Once we made a specific<br />

time for a guy selling jewellery to<br />

come back and the police were<br />

here waiting for him – took him<br />

away for a wee chat.”<br />

Fashions come and go in<br />

jewellery, but Mr Kelso assures<br />

me diamonds are still a girl’s best<br />

friend.<br />

“If it’s an engagement ring, it’s<br />

generally a diamond. They still<br />

far outsell any other gemstone.<br />

Sapphires would be second and<br />

rubies are also popular at the<br />

moment.”

Cross-country athletes make NZ team<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CASHMERE HIGH students<br />

Connor Melton and Liliana<br />

Braun have been selected for the<br />

New Zealand secondary schools<br />

cross-country team to compete<br />

in Hobart in August.<br />

Melton and Braun competed<br />

in the New Zealand secondary<br />

schools cross-country championships,<br />

held in Christchurch<br />

on June 17-18, and will now test<br />

their skills against international<br />

competition.<br />

Both Braun and Melton said<br />

it was their goal to be chosen to<br />

run for their country.<br />

Said Braun: “I am very excited<br />

and looking forward to meeting<br />

others from around New<br />

Zealand who are in the team. I<br />

A NERVOUS wait has given way<br />

to jubilation for Cashmere High’s<br />

first XI football players as they<br />

found out yesterday<br />

they will be heading<br />

to nationals.<br />

Cashmere, along<br />

with Lincoln High,<br />

St Andrew’s College<br />

and St Thomas, will<br />

compete against the<br />

best 32 teams in the<br />

country at the national<br />

tournament in<br />

Napier in September.<br />

It was touch and go<br />

for Cashmere, who were pushed<br />

out of the top four last week after<br />

a 3-2 loss to St Thomas, but the<br />

school was told on Monday that<br />

in spite of that, they have qualified.<br />

am interested to see how I will go<br />

against a larger field, as I’ve only<br />

ever raced against New Zealanders<br />

before.”<br />

Said Melton: “After missing<br />

out in previous years, making<br />

this team in my last year of high<br />

school is a big achievement for<br />

me.”<br />

Cashmere High sports director<br />

Michael Jones said the school is<br />

proud of their students selection.<br />

“Connor has been a great<br />

representative of the school at<br />

running events throughout his<br />

time at Cashmere and it is great<br />

to see his hard work rewarded.<br />

Liliana has been shining since<br />

she arrived in year 9 and continues<br />

to do great things with her<br />

running. She is a truly dedicated<br />

and talented athlete,” he said.<br />

Melton said for the past four<br />

months he has been training and<br />

racing six times a week, specifically<br />

to peak for nationals, where<br />

the national team gets selected<br />

from.<br />

Braun said she has also been<br />

putting in the hard yards with<br />

five runs a week and a day dedicated<br />

to biking.<br />

“I was pleased that all the<br />

training has paid off,” Braun<br />

said.​<br />

HIGH SCHOOL<br />

Coach Craig Squire said the<br />

players were distraught after the<br />

loss, but that has all changed now<br />

they know they have made it.<br />

“This means a lot to this team.<br />

We have been to the<br />

past six national tournaments<br />

in a row and<br />

getting there again was<br />

a definite goal for us,”<br />

he said.<br />

He said it will take a<br />

bit of pressure off his<br />

side and hopefully let<br />

them concentrate on the<br />

football.<br />

“Now we need to get<br />

back on the horse. I was<br />

proud of the effort the boys made<br />

to stay in the game last week.<br />

However, we need to show more<br />

desire and be hungry for the ball<br />

with more passion,” he said.<br />

Burnside High will be disappointed,<br />

Squire said. They now<br />

have to apply for a wildcard position,<br />

in spite of being in fourth<br />

spot while Cashmere are in fifth.<br />

Cashmere takes on Papanui at<br />

the Christchurch Football Centre<br />

tomorrow afternoon at 4pm in<br />

round 10 of the Connetics first XI<br />

football competition.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Choosing the right heat<br />

pump for your home<br />

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />

most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />

if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />

convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />

to press a button. But how do you decide<br />

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat<br />

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort<br />

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore<br />

important to get professional advice from heat<br />

pump experts.<br />

The range varies from wall mounted high<br />

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />

central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />

very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />

to a constant temperature throughout.<br />

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />

is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />

taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />

building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />

available with different heating outputs so it<br />

is important to select the correct size for your<br />

requirements that will handle the job but not<br />

be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />

Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />

is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />

installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />

unit however this is not necessarily always<br />

the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />

unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />

in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />

outside their bedroom window.<br />

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />

have come and gone over the years but there<br />

are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />

reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />

systems and price, so it depends on your<br />

application as to which will be most suitable.<br />

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />

all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />

after sales service.<br />

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />

accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />

correct installation of your heat pump, but<br />

also validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />

Other things to consider when choosing a<br />

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />

capabilities.<br />

Heating is a major investment in your home<br />

and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />

installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />

to which system will suit your application<br />

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />

obligation quote and will come to your home<br />

to see what is required. Visit our website at<br />

www.enviromaster.co.nz.<br />

The facts about<br />

home ventilation<br />

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure<br />

Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />

all buildings, including residential, need to<br />

be suitably ventilated, either with opening<br />

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1<br />

states: “The objective of this provision is<br />

to safeguard people from illness or loss of<br />

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are<br />

many benefits to forced, or mechanical,<br />

ventilation over opening windows, including<br />

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises<br />

and reduction of condensation.<br />

Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from<br />

outside via the roof space and force the stale air<br />

out through gaps around windows and doors.<br />

The incoming air from these<br />

systems has to be heated or<br />

cooled to keep the house warm<br />

in winter or cool in summer.<br />

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is<br />

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It<br />

extracts air from the house and<br />

at the same time brings in fresh<br />

air. These two streams of air<br />

pass through a heat exchanger,<br />

which warms incoming air in<br />

winter and cools in summer if<br />

air conditioning is being used.<br />

This means that up to 80% of<br />

the energy which would be<br />

wasted using a traditional positive pressure<br />

system is recovered, resulting in significant<br />

energy savings and therefore lower heating or<br />

cooling costs.<br />

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation<br />

systems have been considerably more<br />

expensive than traditional positive pressure<br />

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique<br />

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390<br />

balanced pressure system can be installed for<br />

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure<br />

system.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

Supporting your bowel and digestive<br />

function helps prevent disease<br />

It is most important to keep the<br />

whole digestive and elimination<br />

systems of the body working efficiently.<br />

Otherwise toxins that have not been<br />

eliminated set the stage for disease.<br />

Many diseases have been linked with<br />

micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial<br />

component. Generally these microorganisms<br />

or bacteria can only survive<br />

due to the fact that the environment<br />

they are in is suitable for their survival.<br />

Non eliminated toxins are probably<br />

one of the main causative factors for<br />

their survival. We know that when the<br />

digestive system and bowel function<br />

are poor we have many more health<br />

problems. These include arthritis, digestive<br />

problems like reflux and stomach pain,<br />

bladder infections, chronic skin conditions<br />

such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor<br />

eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors<br />

and a weakened immune system just to<br />

name a few.<br />

Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />

highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />

support the whole digestive system and it<br />

is especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />

bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />

used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />

digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds<br />

and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout,<br />

skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,<br />

urinary infections, liver dysfunction,<br />

Candida, weakened immune function and<br />

for people who want to keep their health as<br />

good as possible.<br />

The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />

production of digestive fluids and bile<br />

for efficient digestion. This alone may<br />

help prevent many diseases as a properly<br />

working digestive system will itself<br />

neutralise many disease causing organisms<br />

before they have a chance to cause any<br />

problems. LBS II also stimulates peristaltic<br />

action of the colon effectively cleansing<br />

the colon of any accumulated build-ups of<br />

waste material. It also relaxes abdominal<br />

cramping and spasms, enhances liver<br />

function, purifies the blood, neutralizes<br />

acidic conditions, helps destroy intestinal<br />

parasites and worms, and fights infection.<br />

Keeping your digestive system and<br />

bowels functioning efficiently is definitely<br />

an important step in obtaining and<br />

maintaining good long term health.<br />

Osteoporosis is a serious condition<br />

...but research shows it can be reversed!<br />

Osteoporosis is not taken as a serious<br />

condition by most people! Most people<br />

don’t realise they have osteoporosis until<br />

a fracture happens, as there are usually<br />

no signs or symptoms. Fractures can<br />

commonly be debilitating with chronic<br />

pain and can lead to early mortality.<br />

Fractures kill more women than all<br />

gynaecological cancers put together and<br />

one in six women taken to hospital with<br />

a hip fracture, will not come out alive and<br />

men fare even worse. Around one in three<br />

women and one in twelve men are affected<br />

with osteoporosis.<br />

The most common osteoporotic fractures<br />

are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip.<br />

Vertebral collapse is a compression fracture<br />

and causes back pain often with shooting<br />

pains due to compression of the nerves.<br />

Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a<br />

stooped posture, loss of height and chronic<br />

pain with reduced mobility. Hip fractures,<br />

in particular, usually require prompt<br />

surgery, as there is a serious risk associated<br />

with it of deep vein thrombosis and<br />

pulmonary embolism leading to increased<br />

mortality.<br />

Osteoporosis literally means “bones with<br />

holes”. It occurs when bones lose minerals<br />

such as calcium more quickly than the<br />

body can replace them. Although calcium<br />

is essential for bone health other minerals<br />

like magnesium, zinc and trace minerals<br />

like silica, boron, manganese, copper are<br />

essential also. Vitamin’s D3 and K2 have<br />

been shown to be essential in a bone<br />

support program.<br />

A less well known mineral strontium,<br />

that is naturally found in your bones<br />

has been researched and found in<br />

four landmark studies to actually<br />

reverse bone loss when sufficient other<br />

nutrients are present. One study of 1,649<br />

postmenopausal women with osteoporosis<br />

who had had at least one fracture were<br />

divided into two groups. Both groups<br />

took vitamin D and calcium supplements.<br />

One group were also given 680mg/day<br />

of strontium. After the three year study<br />

the strontium group showed an unheard<br />

of average bone growth of 8.1%. This<br />

study shows that osteoporosis can not<br />

only be halted but may even be reversed<br />

and without the side effects of common<br />

osteoporosis drugs.<br />

Further information on how to<br />

support your bone density and overall<br />

health is available from the natural<br />

health specialists at Marshall’s Health<br />

& Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road,<br />

BREAKTHROUGH AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS<br />

Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bone is a serious health threat<br />

that often leads to severe pain, fractures & early mortality. Research<br />

has found the bones can be re-mineralised & strengthened when<br />

the required nutrients are present. Minerals calcium, magnesium &<br />

vitamins D3 & K2 are essential but are not enough in many cases.<br />

A missing link appears to be the mineral strontium.<br />

Research shows strontium to positively affect bone density.<br />

- Supports strong healthy bones, teeth & nails<br />

- Is a naturally occurring mineral often lacking in the<br />

modern diet<br />

- Found in healthy bones & teeth but lacking in people<br />

with osteoporosis<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

Journey to a smile<br />

continued...<br />

“Over the last few years Smile Concepts has<br />

helped my extreme fear of the dentist, treating<br />

me as a person not a dental guinea pig.”<br />

Visiting the dentist can be a daunting proposition for many<br />

people, who fear they may have to endure a painful process<br />

when having their teeth treated. That’s where the caring team<br />

of experienced dentists team at Smile Concepts can help, by<br />

providing painless treatment. Plus, the personal touch they<br />

offer by taking time to go over all the treatment options and<br />

associated costs means those who fear a dental surgery will be<br />

immediately put at ease.<br />

One patient who is very happy with their service tells her<br />

story…<br />

“My name is Jacinta. I am a 27-year-old wife and mum from<br />

Christchurch. I have enamel hypoplasia, which is a lack in<br />

enamel formation. In most cases, the enamel on people’s teeth is<br />

low or thin, but I have no enamel on all my teeth, resulting in a<br />

dark-yellow colouring.<br />

After a life of struggling with everything from bullying to<br />

failed ‘fixes’, I decided to once again pursue my smile dreams.<br />

After ringing around Christchurch dentists, Smile Concepts was<br />

the first ‘off the bat’ to know about hypoplasia. Natalie happily<br />

booked me in for a consultation.<br />

Over the last few years Smile Concepts has helped my<br />

extreme fear of the dentist, treating me as a person not a dental<br />

guinea pig. Natalie always did what she knew would work<br />

instead of trying things that might.<br />

In January <strong>2017</strong> I contacted Dr Dee from Vogue Dental<br />

Studios in Melbourne. He is kindly donating his time, skills<br />

and expertise to give me my dream smile. Financially, this is<br />

something I would have never been able to do without Dr Dee.<br />

And Natalie has been fabulous in helping prepping me for my<br />

trip to Australia with photos, bite guards, moulds and cleaning”.<br />

On June 2, Jacinta had the opportunity to tell her story on<br />

Seven Sharp, just one week before she flew to Melbourne to<br />

begin her journey. Before she left, Jacinta had her final hygienist<br />

clean at Smile Concepts where the team wished her well in<br />

Melbourne, and now look forward to helping her maintain her<br />

beautiful new smile in the near future.<br />

Smile Concepts is proud to help patients like<br />

Jacinta with any dental problems they may have.<br />

Their knowledgeable staff members use safe and<br />

proven procedures, the latest technology, materials<br />

and philosophies to enhance your teeth and smile.<br />

Trees and Power Lines<br />

The responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the<br />

Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003<br />

Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central<br />

Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast<br />

to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power<br />

outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous<br />

tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.<br />

This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees)<br />

Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues<br />

can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898.<br />

The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003<br />

The regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners.<br />

The purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a<br />

secure supply of electricity. The regulations:<br />

• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines<br />

• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained<br />

• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to<br />

trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation,<br />

including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.)<br />

What are the dangers?<br />

Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons:<br />

• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of<br />

serious injury or death<br />

• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may<br />

electrocute anyone or anything that touches it<br />

• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in<br />

wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages<br />

• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines<br />

may cause fires.<br />

Minimum distances required between trees and power lines<br />

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in<br />

the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree<br />

owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines.<br />

To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming<br />

more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot<br />

satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other<br />

situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered<br />

to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased.<br />

Orion’s tree management programme<br />

Orion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from<br />

Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut/trim<br />

or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this<br />

programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines.<br />

We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone.<br />

The intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power<br />

outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s<br />

responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure<br />

that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone. You will be notified prior to any periodic<br />

trimming being carried out and the work will be completed by arborists carrying Orion<br />

identification.<br />

If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram<br />

below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees<br />

within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the<br />

tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice.<br />

What is a hazard warning notice?<br />

If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a<br />

hazard warning notice to the tree owner.<br />

Tree “A”<br />

Notice<br />

11kV (high voltage) 2.6 metres 1.6 metres<br />

400V/230V (low voltage) 1.5 metres 0.5 metres<br />

Note:<br />

V = Volts; kV = kilo Volts ie 1,000 Volts<br />

1) These distances are from the power line, not the power pole<br />

2) These distances are a minimum and apply in all conditions including high wind or snow<br />

3) In most instances the power lines that go to a house or building are low voltage power<br />

lines. Power lines that go down a street may be low or high voltage.<br />

Trimming trees near power lines<br />

Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not<br />

be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause:<br />

• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by<br />

• injury or death to livestock<br />

• damage to property and other trees<br />

• damage to electrical appliances<br />

• damage to power supply facilities<br />

• damage to third parties.<br />

We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy<br />

to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your<br />

cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire<br />

professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out<br />

this work.<br />

If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close<br />

approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable<br />

for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.<br />

A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone<br />

and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim<br />

notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above).<br />

The growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even<br />

in windy or snow conditions. The notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth<br />

limit zone.<br />

What is a cut or trim notice?<br />

If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give<br />

notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the<br />

distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action.<br />

If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs.<br />

Who pays for the cut or trim?<br />

Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a<br />

property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut<br />

of vegetation on all our lines.<br />

The tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims.<br />

We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this<br />

work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances.<br />

What fines can be imposed?<br />

A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable<br />

excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the<br />

time and location of the cut or trim.<br />

A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not<br />

exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of<br />

not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues.<br />

Contact us if in any doubt about your tree<br />

We aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are<br />

minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before<br />

regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the<br />

public, we will use the regulations where necessary.<br />

Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees,<br />

or to discuss your options.<br />
