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 />

• 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 />

Verbal clips and kicks, I must<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 />
signs put in place.<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 />
speed reduction sign as they<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 />

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 />
