Heathcote on the wild side
Like many, photographer Sarah Webber was cooped
up at the weekend as the rain continued to come
down. So she decided to have a little photo-shopping

again. •More photos, pages 4 and 5
Halswell
school
ahead of
schedule
A NEW school in Halswell is set to
open three years ahead of schedule
due to rapid growth in the area.
Education Minister Nikki Kaye
said the $11 million Halswell West
Primary School would open in 2019,
with construction beginning in early
2018.
The new school will be situated
on the corner of Richmond and Killarney
Aves, near the new residential
subdivision of Knights Stream Park,
between Prebbleton and Oaklands.
“The Halswell area is experiencing
rapid growth, and we’ve responded
to that by bringing forward the
planned date for Halswell West Primary
School to ensure children will
be able to attend a local school,” Ms
Kaye said.
The new school, which is part of
the Christchurch School Rebuild
programme, was originally scheduled
to open in 2022.
It will cater for children in years 1
to 8 and will initially have space for
450 students, with the capacity to
expand up to 700.
“There will be multiple stages to
the build, with the second stage beginning
when roll projections show
that more spaces are required,” Ms
Kaye said.

TOP MARKS to Sarah Webber
for her great out of the box
flooding photos.
It was a dismal time for many
as the Heathcote flexed its
muscle yet again and spilled its
contents into properties.
But Sarah’s photos (see pages
1, 4, 5) at least put a lighter spin
on what was a very nasty event
for many.
We put the photos on Rise Up
Christchurch and our website
star.kiwi and no doubt they were
shared around the world.
So thanks for letting us have
them Sarah!
Also, top marks to school
teacher Ryan Pearce who picked
up a silver at the recent waka
ama world champs.
There’s an interesting back
story to Ryan, and Ferrymead
Rotary member Barbara Crooks
explains all on page 6.

Panels may be removed
RSA claims
council
wasted
$25,000
• By Gabrielle Stuart
CONTROVERSIAL $25,000
glass graffiti protection panels
around the New Brighton War
Memorial may be removed,
sparking calls they have been a
waste of money.
The panels
were installed
around the
memorial last
month, but were
criticised by the
New Brighton
RSA and by
Kim Money
people in the
community who
said they were
“horribly ugly”.
The Coastal-Burwood
Community Board is now
considering taking them down
and using lighting, security
cameras and more open

landscaping to discourage
vandalism instead.
Board chairwoman Kim
Money has met with New
Brighton RSA representatives to
discuss the idea.
Ms Money said the options
included removing the low walls
your one stop shop!
in the area to open it to the
street, making it less attractive
to vandals.
But Ms Money said there was
no funding currently set aside
for the work, and having it
approved could take months.
New Brighton RSA executive
We welcome you to come along and have a look
manager Garry House said that
was not good enough.
He said the city council had
wasted money on the panels
without properly consulting the
community.
“If you’ve blown the money on
doing something stupid, that’s
no excuse. You’ve just got to find
the money somewhere else,” he
said.
The memorial was vandalised
in 2015, and he said the idea
of protective panels had been
briefly mentioned then, but
there had been no discussion of
it since.
“I understand the council was
trying to do the right thing by
protecting the cenotaph, so I
applaud them for that, but they
went about it very badly,” he
said.
He said the association would
be happy to see the panels left
up as a temporary measure, but
only for a few months.
But Ms Money said the
plan was likely to take some
time to approve, as it would
need to be put to both city
council staff and Development
Christchurch Ltd, the city
council subsidiary responsible
for revitalising the New
Brighton foreshore.

people commenting on the plans.
Work on upgrading the whale
pool playground is due to begin
next month, following the feedback
process run by Development
Christchurch Ltd.
Seating, shading, grassed areas,

in the feedback.
DCL chief executive Rob Hall
said the feedback would allow
it to build the best playground
possible.

The flood waters

photographer
Sarah Webber has managed
to spread a bit of chuckle
through her imaginative
photographs
A stampeding elephant, churning
up water as it heads for safety,
a bear clutching a fish in its mouth
and an orca leaping through the
streets of Beckenham are part of
an apparent exodus of animals
from the suburb.
Even old Nessie, the Loch Ness
Monster, the legendary water
creature from Scotland, makes an
appearance.
Ms Webber said she was stuck
inside during the floods and
wanted to do something creative
and a bit tongue-in-cheek.
She started with Nessie and
posted it on Facebook. The photo
was such a hit that she started
getting requests for particular
animals.
“I was just rushing to get them
done – it is not even good photoshopping,”
she said.

Rotary helps teacher succeed on water
Ferrymead Rotarians had a
strong inkling they were on
to a good thing when Ryan
Pearce approached them for
support to get to the waka
ama (outrigger canoeing)
world championships. Club
member Barbara Crooks
writes about how it worked
out
THE 34-year-old South
Brighton School teacher
was part of a para-six which
paddled to a silver medal at the
World Distance Waka Ama
Championships in Tahiti a
couple of weeks ago.
Pearce, who has used a brace
on his right leg since spinal
surgery eight years ago, had been
paddling for just 12 months
before making the New Zealand
team.
To get to Tahiti he – and each
of his fellow paddlers –had to
raise $4000 in three months
since the team was named in
March.
His personal and professional
attributes impressed Ferrymead
Rotary members so much they
readily agreed. And while they
thought their contribution
modest, Ryan pointed out that
they had paid his Christchurch
DETERMINED: Ryan Pearce (front) won a silver medal at the World Distance Waka Ama
Championships in Tahiti. ​
to Auckland airfare – without
which he wouldn’t have made
the plane to Tahiti.
After his selection was
confirmed in March, he had to
fund a medical examination, and
flights, food and accommodation
for three training camps (in
Napier, Auckland and Tauranga)
and the world champs in Tahiti.
As he says, there are no free
rides for truly amateur sports in
New Zealand.
His waka success further
reflected Pearce’s resolve since
complications with a 2009
operation to remove a varicose
vein on his spinal cord left him
with no feeling from the waist
down. A month later, thanks
to his intensive rehabilitation
efforts, he was walking with the
help of a stick on his wedding
day.
Two years later, the remnant
of the vein forced another
operation, six weeks in hospital,
and back to work on physio in
a wheelchair. The next year,
he tackled the 2.8km harbour
crossing swim in Auckland,
dragging himself across almost
entirely with his arms. He has
done four more distance swims
since.
But he believes he trained
harder for waka than his swims
because he didn’t want to let his
mates down. He’s also quick to
point out that, while one of the
seven paddlers did not get a start
in Tahiti, the performance was
very much a team effort.
Pearce sees “paddling in
some capacity” as very much a
part of his immediate sporting
future. He believes he’s best
suited to longer distances, which
opens the way for him to bring
his swimming, paddling and
perhaps other endurance talents
together.

Addington retirement village
with cafe, creche and animals
A RETIREMENT village being
built in Addington will have a
public cafe, creche, community
centre, health hub and even
animals.
Park Lane Retirement Village
will feature Living Well – a
new concept designed to create
community connections and
empower retirees.
Arvida Group chief executive
Bill McDonald said Living Well
would be a public community
precinct.
“Living Well Park Lane will
include a community centre for
both the public and residents,
complete with a cafe that sources
produce from the village’s communal
gardens, a community
creche, a health club and animals
including chickens and lambs,”
Mr McDonald said.
“Traditionally retirement
villages are a gated community
– here the community is warmly
welcomed to be part of life at
Park Lane.”
Mr McDonald said Christchurch
was the perfect place to
launch Living Well because of
the innovative developments
happening with the rebuild.
He hoped to roll it out across
other Arvida retirement villages,

like when it is complete.
he said.
Park Lane would use solar
energy to power the main buildings,
and would also offer electric
cars for residents to use.
Apartments at the new Park
Lane Retirement Village are now
on sale, and the majority are
expected to be completed and
ready for tenants in March.
A GROUP of Riccarton
business women raised more
than $5000 for family violence
support group Aviva.
The Riccarton Venus
Businesswomen’s Networking
Group held a fundraiser on
July 2 with the proceeds going
directly to Aviva families.
“It’s amazing to see what you
can achieve when you have
businesswomen supporting
and encouraging each other
and creating these kinds of collaborations,
and a perfect fit in
giving back to the community,”
regional South Island Venus
manager Maree Bryant said.
The group fundraised by selling
Safelets, a bracelet designed
to help vulnerable people feel
safe.
Safelet has just been launched
in New Zealand by Sharron
Jones.
After an accident while living
alone, she searched for a personal
safety option for herself and
on discovering Safelet wanted to
share the benefits of the product
with the rest of New Zealand.
SUPPORT: (From left)
– Sharon Hunt, Nicola
Woodward, Sharon
McKeeman, Sharron
Jones, Julie McCloy
and Maree Bryant and
Diane Moore (front). ​
$5000 raised for Aviva
Safelet is an “on the go”
personal safety alarm bracelet
that allows the wearer to be connected
and protected by friends
and family.
With the push of a button
they can alert their guardians
and emergency services to their
whereabouts and that they need
help.
When the lucky winner of a
Safelet, Diane Moore decided to
regift it back to Aviva it really
was a celebration of women
wanting to give back.
Aviva helps individuals and
families to become – and stay –
free of violence.
They work with children,
women, and men, giving each
person the support they need,
when they
need it, to become safe
and live free of the effects of
family and sexual
violence.
Aviva Families is delighted to
receive the support to be able to
offer their vulnerable families
this additional tool to help keep
them safe.

to the concepts of community and
inclusion which came through strongly
in Architectus's submission.
In Term 2, 2019 Linwood College will
shift off-site for the duration of our
rebuild to what will then be the former
Avonside Girls’ High site. The site will
be available as AGHS (and Shirley BHS)
will be on their new site, formerly QE2
Park. This is a very good step for us,
for while it has its own processes to
work through, there are three major
positives:
1. LC students and staff will not
experience the difficult period of rebuild
disruption. The time and energy
that otherwise would have gone to
ensuring learning was not affected
can now be used more positively.
2. The LC demolition and building
processes start with an unoccupied
site and so can operate in a single
stage. This means that a year
comes off the rebuild timeline so the
timeline we are looking at now is 18
months to two years.
3. With this considerable timesaving
and there being no need
for relocatables to shift us around
in, there is a financial saving of
approximately $1 million. This money
does not leave the budget so is used
to enhance what we will be getting.
The Ministry of Education will ensure
that LC has all the support that we
need during our temporary relocation,
including a transport plan for our
students to the new site. We will be
exploring bussing options to get our
students there. The MoE appoints
a relocation manager and employs
specialist movers skilled at shifting a
school, everything from basketballs to
hydrochloric acid.
The AGHS site is safe. The buildings
are mainly relocatable classrooms.
AGHS has operated very successfully
in them with a full academic and
social curriculum. About half of the
relocatables were brought in postearthquake
so they are modern and
warm. In fact, they are of better quality
than our present LC classrooms.
The site is close to us. I have timed my
last two drives there: 3 min 50 sec and
4 min 10 sec, just 2.2 kilometres from
the LC front gate to the AGHS front
gate.
While the rebuild of Linwood College is
well overdue, we are also aware that
the demolition of the old school will
bring mixed feelings for some. And
this makes sense as a school’s physical
fabric contains many memories and
key moments in people’s lives. How
we close and honour this chapter in our
school’s history, while we open another,
is important to us and already is being
given due attention.
Nga mihi nui to our community as the
positive activity of the year continues. I
am always keen to meet people if any
member of the community wishes to
talk to me about anything. My door is
open.

The moon is high and all is quiet.
Excitement is rising. The night is still.
This night, 2nd August will be the
opening night of Linwood College’s
2017 major production ‘Wolfstock’.
This is a maverick musical written by
Mary McMahan with music by Donald
Woodward.
A ‘Grease’ ‘Teenwolf’ mash-up with
eccentric characters, great one-liners
and the odd motor bike - this fun story
along with the compulsory dancing and
singing has all the makings for a fun,
family-friendly show.
The new Performing Arts learning
team of Sam Boyce da Cruz and
Ben Russell are bringing life back
to the Linwood College productions
after a hiatus. The cast of this year’s
production celebrates everything that
is great about being part of a Year
7 - 13 school with cast and musicians
involved spanning across all age
groups, collaborating and working
together to present this show.
Community Connections
Students from Linwood North
Primary School visited during Linwood
College’s Taster Afternoon this month.
They were treated to a scene from the
upcoming Linwood College musical
WOLFSTOCK as well as engaging
science experiments.
Linwood College • Phone: 982-0100 • Email: office@linwoodcollege.school.nz • www.linwoodcollege.school.nz
The show will have a three night run
from 1 - 3 August. Tickets will be
available at the College’s Payment
Office from Term 3. We look forward to
seeing you there.

Master Plumbers,
Whitehead Plumbing
& Gas Limited
Guarantee Results
Whitehead Plumbing & Gas Ltd is a
longstanding Plumbing, Gasfitting and
Drainlaying company that is celebrating
its 38th birthday this year. That’s a long
time working for local Christchurch and
Canterbury home owners and businesses.
Over the years Mark Whitehead has
built a loyal following of domestic and
commercial customers. The business began
in 1979 with one staff member and grew
steadily until Feb 2011 when the devastating
Christchurch earthquakes caused a surge
in demand for a wide range of plumbing,
gasfitting and drainlaying repair work.
Mark says that the earthquake put a huge
demand on the business to service peoples
needs and the business grew rapidly to
meet those needs. He said that all their staff
worked exceptionally hard during this time
to get water and drainage working again
for many people. A lot of households had
damage to their hot water cylinders and
Whitehead’s were replacing around 20
cylinders per week.
The business has continued to grow
steadily since then as the rebuild gained
momentum, with Whiteheads Plumbing
and Gas Ltd being the preferred Plumbing,
Gasfitting and Drainlaying company for
many builders of high spec architecturally
designed homes. The company has also
branched out into light commercial work
including new schools, shopping centres
and retirement villages.
Mark says that although the rebuild work
on the flat is coming to an end they still
have many rebuilds and major repair jobs
to do for architecturally designed houses.
A lot of these new builds are on hill sites
where there are challenges with access and
engineering requirements.
Whitehead’s are specialists in those
difficult jobs whether it be plumbing, gas
or drainage work. They have key staff who
have been in the industry for a lot of years
and their combined knowledge has given
the business the opportunity to tackle those
difficult jobs. Mark says that his team works
closely with the main contractor on every
project to see that the work progresses
smoothly.
Mark Whitehead is passionate about the
Plumbing, Gas and Drainlaying industry
and this is evident in his involvement in and
commitment
to the PGD Board, which is the industry’s
regulatory body, Skills, the training
organisation, Master Plumbers, Gasfitters
and Drainlayers and other plumbing
related organisations over the years.
The business has a philosophy of training
young people and over the years they have
trained in excess of 40 apprentices. Mark
says that the industry’s future is in training
the right people. The future is in good
hands with Whitehead Plumbing & Gas
Ltd
At Whitehead Plumbing and Gas the staff
take pride in exceptional customer service
and excellent workmanship.
At Whitehead Plumbing & Gas Ltd
we have a great team of loyal staff
offering a diverse range of skills.
Serving Canterbury for over 35
years, we do everything from
domestic maintenance to new
homes and commercial buildings.

Lindisfarne opened in 1987 with the aim of
providing parents and families with a nursery
school which respects their individual needs
and aspirations. We provide full time, part
time and casual enrolment opportunities for
your child, so that you can organise a schedule
which suits your requirements.
The teachers provide learning experiences
tailored to individual children’s needs and
interests, and the programme promotes
independent thinking and skill development.
Our aim is to have happy, settled, confident
children, who enjoy an environment which
fosters a love of learning, and respect for all
people.
We are proud of our multi-national
community and the opportunities this
provides for both teachers and children.
Regular parent and whanau activities are
organised throughout the year, and we place
an emphasis on a close liaison between home
and nursery school, which is vital to any child’s
success and progress.
We do hope you find our website helpful

leaves each day feeling secure and loved in
their special environment.
At Marshlands Nest they create a most
positive environment for children so they can
learn through all experiences and interactions
but most importantly through play.
This have a mixed licence which means
children of different ages play and interact with
each other. It allows siblings to be together
and gives solo children a chance to be part of
a larger family. It also means children do not
need to transition between rooms so can stay
with the same teachers and children.
Marshlands Nest does recognize the need
for age specific learning and a portion of each
day is spent in ‘nest times” learning with
others of the same age.
The team at Marshland Nest would love to
have you as part of their family, please feel

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