MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel and<br />

the city’s top police officer will<br />

meet over the ongoing problems<br />

at the Riccarton bus lounge.<br />

Ms Dalziel hopes to meet with<br />

Superintendent John Price early<br />

next month, as finding solutions<br />

to anti-social behaviour at the<br />

bus lounge linger.<br />

The lounge, on the corner of<br />

Riccarton Rd and Division St,<br />

has been plagued with youth issues<br />

since it opened in December<br />

2015.<br />

to help solve the issues. They<br />

include extending bus lounge<br />

closing times, playing music in<br />

Division St, which would attract<br />

more people to the area, and<br />

changing the current bus lounge<br />

wi-fi policies.<br />

City councillors also decided<br />

to lobby central Government<br />

to request a review of the Local<br />

Government Act bylaw provisions<br />

that would allow arrests<br />

to be made or instant fines to be<br />

issued for breaching a bylaw.<br />

Ms Dalziel said instant fines<br />

can be effective but not if you<br />

don’t have the money to pay<br />

them, which a lot of children and<br />

their parents do not.<br />

FROM<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK<br />

IF LIANNE Dalziel and police<br />

chief John Price can’t get any<br />

action on solving problems at the<br />

Riccarton bus lounge, then the<br />

war is lost (see page 1).<br />

That’s the latest twist on this<br />

long drawn out saga that is now<br />

nearly two years in the making.<br />

The problem: Teenagers and<br />

others causing problems for bus<br />

users and businesses in the area.<br />

The solution: Good, strong<br />

policing.<br />

But the police can’t be everywhere<br />

and disorder issues at the<br />

lower end of the scale get a low<br />

priority.<br />

However, people using the bus<br />

lounge should be able to do so<br />

without being hassled and made<br />

to feel intimidated.<br />

Police initially thought a bylaw<br />

would do the trick but that has<br />

gone by the wayside. A cynic<br />

might say resourcing.<br />

So it’s up to Dalziel and Price.<br />

Objection over medical centre plan<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford and<br />

Andrew King<br />

SOCIAL ANXIETY, security<br />

risks and fears someone will<br />

report her dogs to the authorities<br />

are the reasons one neighbour<br />

has objected to a new medical<br />

centre in Hillmorton.<br />

But a few tweaks and she<br />

would be happy to let the development<br />

proceed.<br />

The Martin Family Trust applied<br />

to the city council in February<br />

2016 for a consent to build<br />

an ‘integrated family health<br />

centre’ on 30-36 Lincoln Rd and<br />

121 Domain Tce.<br />

The facility would include a<br />

pharmacy and will be split into<br />

six different tenancies.<br />

Ellyn Taawera-Patterson,<br />

whose property borders the<br />

proposed site, submitted against<br />

it saying the new development<br />

would raise security concerns<br />

and have a negative impact on<br />

her animals.<br />

A resource management act<br />

hearing panel met last Tuesday<br />

to hear her concerns.<br />

She said the previous neighbours,<br />

a Muslim church and<br />

Deerstalkers Association, had a<br />

high gate that was locked when<br />

they were not on site.<br />

“My understanding is the car<br />

park [for the medical centre]<br />

won’t be locked [at night and on<br />

the weekends] which will give<br />

easier access to my property<br />

than previously,” she said in her<br />

submission.<br />

The increased vehicle activity<br />

in the car park, she said, could<br />

cause her dogs to bark, annoying<br />

the neighbours who then may<br />

report the noise, putting her<br />

responsible pet owner status at<br />

risk.<br />

Ms Taawera-Patterson said<br />

she has a phobia of people and<br />

the increased amount of people<br />

coming and going from the<br />

site could increase her anxiety<br />

and “ability to deal with life in<br />

general”.<br />

“I moved into this place in<br />

the 90s because I knew it was<br />

all residential,” she said. “I don’t<br />

want to block it [the medical<br />

centre] entirely, I need to look<br />

after me though.”<br />

She has included in her<br />

submission a few suggestions to<br />

solve her concerns, including<br />

soundproofing her home and<br />

installing a high, locked gate and<br />

security lighting for the evenings<br />

and weekends.<br />

City council head of<br />

resource consents John<br />

Gibson said the hearing has<br />

not yet been closed by the<br />

commissioner and a decision<br />

is not likely for at least 15<br />

days.<br />

“A hearing was required because<br />

when the application was<br />

notified there was a submission<br />

in opposition,” he said.​<br />

Meanwhile, a resource management<br />

act hearing will be<br />

held today to discuss Foodstuffs<br />

South Island’s plan to establish<br />

a New World on 92-108 Lincoln<br />

Rd.<br />

It has applied for resource<br />

consent from the city council for<br />

the supermarket, which includes<br />

car parking, vehicle access, landscaping,<br />

signage and stormwater<br />

treatment.<br />

The supermarket would be<br />

built on the former SuperValue<br />

site, along with neighbouring<br />

properties.<br />

any available funding.<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VET<br />

NURSE AT McMASTER & HEAP<br />

Its early morning and the HOSPITAL nurse is<br />

already hard at work, caring for her sometimes<br />

numerous & varied hospital patients who have<br />

stayed the night.<br />

She cuddles & chats away to them<br />

reassuringly as if they were her own!<br />

Some soiled patients are sponge bathed,<br />

while other patients are syringe fed. She checks,<br />

untwists and flushes IV catheters, administers<br />

morning medications, fresh food & clean<br />

bedding is lovingly placed! All observations are<br />

recorded ready for the “Vet rounds”, just as in a<br />

hospital!<br />

The Vets at McMaster & Heap rely heavily on<br />

the expertise and thoroughness of our nurses<br />

to inform us with regards to the patients in<br />

her care. The vets check over their patients,<br />

authorize blood tests or radiographs, change<br />

medication or nutrition plans and update the<br />

owners.<br />

Then its back to the hospital nurse to care<br />

for the needs of these patients over the course<br />

of the day, updating the vet, speaking to the<br />

family members involved and organizing<br />

visiting times. Excellent time management skills<br />

are required to triage the sick arrivals through<br />

the day and care for the already sick and injured.<br />

Note taking and recording of medications given<br />

is of utmost importance.<br />

Meanwhile the doors have opened & the<br />

RECEPTION nurse is cheerfully assisting the<br />

receptionist, greeting a continuous stream<br />

of pets and their owners arriving for today’s<br />

appointments & procedures!<br />

She expertly multi tasks while answering the<br />

relentlessly ringing phones-today she will take<br />

a huge number of calls with a wide variety of<br />

questions. She must use her problem solving<br />

skills to know when it is OK for a patient to<br />

come in later in the day, or if in fact it may<br />

require a much more urgent consult time.<br />

The SURGICAL nurse gets ready for her<br />

busy day ahead. Patients start arriving at 8am<br />

for admittance and some days we have 4<br />

vets operating and a list of over 15 surgical<br />

procedures to work through. Every nurse has a<br />

vet assigned to them to allow continuity of care.<br />

She will talk kindly & soothingly to each<br />

patient while efficiently placing IV catheters<br />

& obtain blood and urine samples to run<br />

diagnostic tests for the vet. She then calculates<br />

and administers her patients pre anaesthetic<br />

medications as instructed.<br />

Anaesthetic machines must then be checked<br />

& the surgical room fully equipped for the<br />

variety of today’s procedures!<br />

Once everything is ready, she will assist the<br />

vet in the patients induction and intubation,<br />

before swiftly attaching all monitoring<br />

equipment, as well as manual checks. Once<br />

happy the patient is stable, she sterile preps the<br />

patients surgical site. She closely monitors the<br />

patient through the entire procedure, alerting<br />

the vet to any subtle changes in the patients<br />

anaesthetic depth, blood pressure and more.<br />

She carefully moves the patient over to a<br />

cosy recovery bed, where the hospital nurse is<br />

waiting to continue the post operative care.<br />

Evening consults are arriving & reception is a<br />

hype of activity. Phones are ringing constantly<br />

& owners are arriving to pick up their animals<br />

from surgery & hospital.<br />

The reception nurse expertly talks to owners<br />

experiencing a wide range of emotions, from<br />

extreme sadness, stress, anxiety, to those who<br />

are excited or just plain relieved to be able to<br />

see their furry friend once more. She goes over<br />

the large variety of discharge information that<br />

the vets & nurses have carefully put aside for<br />

their patients.<br />

The hospital nurse kindly talks to worried<br />

owners who are visiting their pets and updates<br />

them on the vets plan for overnight care.<br />

She carries out her final rounds and ensures<br />

everyone gets a cuddle goodnight!<br />

She assists the vet in preparing any extremely<br />

unwell patients that require transfer to the after<br />

hours clinic.<br />

At 7pm the last consult has finished, and<br />

the doors are closed! The nurses may still<br />

be buzzing around for another hour or so,<br />

depending on today’s work load. Although<br />

sometimes they are totally exhausted (&<br />

covered in various unidentified stains & smells!)<br />

they go home to their own pets with a big<br />

smile on their face. They know each day they<br />

assist the vets in making a huge difference to<br />

animals lives by putting 100% of time, love, care<br />

& knowledge to ensure each furry patient and<br />

it’s owner has had the best veterinary service<br />

and care possible!!<br />

The benefits of car pooling<br />

City<br />

councillor<br />

Anne<br />

Galloway<br />

talks<br />

about car<br />

sharing, its benefits<br />

and why you should<br />

start doing it<br />

If cycling and taking<br />

the bus are not options<br />

for you, car pooling is<br />

another way to cut costs,<br />

chat with fellow travellers<br />

and potentially to speed up<br />

travel.<br />

Traffic, particularly on<br />

Halswell and Lincoln Rds,<br />

banks up regularly at rush<br />

hour at both ends of each<br />

day.<br />

It’s especially bad on<br />

rainy days when regular<br />

bus users or cyclists take<br />

to their cars to stay dry.<br />

Car pooling, as little as<br />

once a week or even once a<br />

fortnight will make a significant<br />

difference to traffic<br />

congestion.<br />

Wherever you are in the<br />

city, car pooling can help.<br />

Car pooling helps you<br />

save money, by dividing<br />

up the petrol costs among<br />

your car pool passengers.<br />

Car pooling also helps you<br />

save on the cost of vehicle<br />

repairs and maintenance<br />

if you rotate vehicle use<br />

between the members of<br />

your car pool team. Additionally,<br />

you and everyone<br />

else can save some money<br />

on road fees because with<br />

more car pooling there<br />

are fewer cars on the road<br />

and therefore less wear<br />

and damage to the roads<br />

that need to be repaired<br />

each year using ratepayers<br />

money.<br />

Car pooling helps the<br />

environment. Car pooling<br />

cuts down on the number<br />

of cars and vehicles on the<br />

road. Fewer cars means<br />

there’s less carbon and<br />

other gasses and pollution<br />

getting into the air. This<br />

protects the environment<br />

by keeping the air, water,<br />

and land cleaner.<br />

Car pooling is good for<br />

your health. According to<br />

numerous health reports<br />

and research, air pollution<br />

caused by auto emissions<br />

can significantly increase<br />

the likelihood of health<br />

issues such as asthma,<br />

allergies, lung cancer and<br />

chronic obstructive pulmonary<br />

disease.<br />

Research data has also<br />

suggested that car pooling<br />

can be far less stressful<br />

than simply commuting on<br />

your own.<br />

Car pooling is a very<br />

convenient option which<br />

can give you great flexibility.<br />

Whatever your<br />

needs are, you can look<br />

for people who need that<br />

same schedule or who can<br />

add you to their route. The<br />

flexibility makes it a very<br />

convenient option for any<br />

long commute.<br />

Car pooling is also a<br />

wonderful way to meet<br />

interesting people, get to<br />

know the people you work<br />

with or go to school with,<br />

and to make new friends.<br />

Coach cracks whip with students<br />

Players must<br />

attend class or<br />

no basketball<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

“I WANT to do it my way, all the<br />

way, or not at all.”<br />

That’s the message Canterbury<br />

Rams co-captain Marques<br />

Whippy delivered to players<br />

when he first arrived to coach<br />

the Hillmorton High basketball<br />

team in April this year.<br />

A big part of his message was<br />

that in order to stay in the team,<br />

you had to attend class.<br />

“I got the boys to sign contracts,<br />

which say they have to go<br />

to class. If they miss class or are<br />

late three times, then they don’t<br />

play,” Whippy said.<br />

That appears have paid dividends<br />

both on the court and off<br />

it.<br />

The team has just finished<br />

their season after finishing<br />

second at nationals and winning<br />

their local competition and<br />

South Islands.<br />

Last year Hillmorton finished<br />

last at nationals, second in the<br />

local competition and third in<br />

the South Islands.<br />

Joshua Nickel has brought into<br />

the Whippy philosophy and said<br />

while the school work may not<br />

get easier, the motivation to turn<br />

up and give it his best shot has<br />

come from the programme.<br />

“If we don’t turn up, we can’t<br />

play. So that makes us turn up<br />

and go hard at our school work,”<br />

he said.<br />

Joshua, 18, is in his last year<br />

at Hillmorton and aims to head<br />

to university next year and<br />

study science as well as follow in<br />

Whippy’s footsteps and play for<br />

the Rams.<br />

Hillmorton sports co-ordinator<br />

Andrea Kendrew said it is<br />

hard to determine what effect the<br />

rules are having on the students<br />

in the classroom, but most of<br />

them will pass this year.<br />

“One has really pulled his<br />

socks up and is attending every<br />

class and that will affect his<br />

school work,” she said.<br />

She said the students look up<br />

to Whippy as he has been in a<br />

similar position himself.<br />

“In a way, he relates to a lot of<br />

the boys, he might see himself<br />

Utah, and Brigham Young University–Hawaii.<br />

school in the States and it is all<br />

I got the boys to sign<br />

contracts . . . If they miss<br />

class or are late three times,<br />

then they don’t play<br />

– Marques Whippy<br />

after a couple of players were late<br />

to class three times which meant<br />

they had to sit out a game, but<br />

Whippy had no problem enforcing<br />

his rules.<br />

“They have not missed class<br />

since,” he laughed.<br />

To roll out a similar code<br />

through other sports in the<br />

school would require the coaches<br />

coming on board and driving it,<br />

much like Whippy does, Ihaia<br />

said.<br />

“We tried with the girls<br />

[basketball] team but it didn’t<br />

work out. I would love to get it<br />

through all sports in the school,”<br />

she said.<br />

Canterbury Basketball<br />

Association community<br />

said having Whippy coach at<br />

Hillmorton was fantastic for the<br />

players.<br />

“He is a Polynesian role model<br />

and being able to work with kids<br />

similar to him is great. The mana<br />

he brings on and off the court<br />

really resonates with them,” he<br />

GREAT NIGHT: Pleasant Point Yacht Club life member Bob<br />

Scott, 97, got his hands on the America’s Cup with Team New<br />

Zealand crewman Joe Sullivan during an event on Saturday<br />

night to raise money for the club’s rebuild.<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

ABOUT $25,000 was raised for<br />

the rebuild of Pleasant Point<br />

Yacht Club on Saturday night.<br />

The event called An Evening<br />

with Emirates Team New Zealand<br />

ran smoothly, said Pleasant<br />

Point Yacht Club spokesman<br />

Nigel Humphreys. The club<br />

rebuild is planned for South New<br />

Brighton Park.<br />

Life member of the club, Bob<br />

Scott, 97, was given to a lot of<br />

attention by Team New Zealand<br />

member Joe Sullivan. The formerly<br />

“very competitive” yachtie<br />

joined the club in 1936 and is the<br />

oldest living member.<br />

He was club commodore in the<br />

1950s and club captain for many<br />

years.<br />

Mr Scott’s daughter, Carol<br />

Scott, said they had a fantastic<br />

evening and her father particularly<br />

enjoyed the team’s presentation<br />

which included footage on<br />

the water.<br />

Ms Scott said Mr Sullivan<br />

made a fuss of her father. The<br />

two men have mutual friends<br />

including New Zealand sailor<br />

and broadcaster Peter Lester’s<br />

father, who Mr Scott went to<br />

school with.<br />

Mr Sullivan organised members<br />

of the Team New Zealand<br />

to sign a plaque commemorating<br />

Canterbury’s only challenge in<br />

the Little America’s Cup challenge<br />

in the 1974, which Mr Scott<br />

brought along on the night. The<br />

Little Americas Cup, now known<br />

as the International Catamaran<br />

Challenge Trophy, is a race between<br />

C class catamarans.<br />

Culture and hygiene mix at Sacred Heart<br />

SACRED HEART School pupils<br />

in Addington were among the<br />

first Christchurch children to get<br />

their hands on innovative posters<br />

that use humour to promote Te<br />

Reo Maori.<br />

Designed by commercial cleaning<br />

company CrestClean, the<br />

posters also contain important<br />

health and hygiene messages.<br />

Depicting cartoon characters,<br />

the four unique designs immediately<br />

struck a chord with the<br />

school.<br />

Principal Frank McManus<br />

believes good resources in Te Reo<br />

Maori are scarce and the posters<br />

will be a big hit at the school.<br />

The posters would also double<br />

as a teaching aid in the school’s<br />

Te Reo programme.<br />

“Health and hygiene is huge.<br />

We don’t always have the right<br />

messages up around the school,”<br />

said Mr McManus.<br />

“These bold posters are fantastic<br />

for that. If one child is doing it<br />

right then they are likely to pass<br />

it on to others and that’s great,”<br />

he said.<br />

Sets of the posters are available<br />

free to all schools.<br />

The poster initiative has been<br />

hailed by the president of the<br />

Te Akatea New Zealand Maori<br />

Principals’ Association, Hoana<br />

Pearson.<br />

“For years, many of us in<br />

Maori education have been hand<br />

drawing and photocopying our<br />

resources,” she said.<br />

“To see things that are beautiful<br />

and produced in colour for our<br />

kids and our communities really<br />

validates the beauty of Te Reo<br />

and of them.”<br />

Readers respond to the<br />

article regarding a lobby<br />

effort to get a dog park for<br />

Ferrymead<br />

Cherry Daly – Regarding the<br />

proposed dedicated dog park at<br />

Ferrymead. I agree that the eastern<br />

suburbs are in dire need of a<br />

dedicated dog park. This site is<br />

central to the region and would<br />

be absolutely perfect. Many<br />

thanks to city councillor Yani<br />

Johanson for making this proposal<br />

and hoping that the notoriously<br />

anti-dog city council will<br />

see their way clear to approving<br />

this as soon as possible.<br />

Michael Wilson – This is a<br />

brilliant idea. I live in the area<br />

and frequently take my dogs to<br />

this area for exercise. I’m sure<br />

this will go some way to controlling<br />

the rabbits and stopping the<br />

dirt bike guys being annoying<br />

early evening. Bravo to the person<br />

who thought of this.<br />

Gayel Marquet – That<br />

sounds like a fabulous idea but<br />

the reason dogs love the beach<br />

is that owners do too. Give the<br />

owners a major unique reason<br />

and features (a pond to splash<br />

in) to attract them to Ferrymead<br />

and then educate them to be off<br />

the beach and I’m all for it – and<br />

I don’t even have a dog. Also<br />

re the article next to this about<br />

skateboarding . . . here we go<br />

again, one nimby (not in my<br />

backyard) spoiling it for all –<br />

give Sumner kids a place to go.<br />

Paula Mayer and her dog<br />

Frankie – I wish to support a<br />

dog park at Ferrymead – to have<br />

an alternative to the beach.<br />

Jo Wilson – I was so happy<br />

to read the article regarding a<br />

proposal to turn the old Maori<br />

Village site at Ferrymead into<br />

a dog park. I have lived in Mt<br />

Pleasant for a number of years<br />

and have often thought that the<br />

site would be perfect for a dog<br />

park. I walk my dog around<br />

there on a regular basis and<br />

would definitely use it even<br />

more if it were made more dog<br />

friendly. The eastern and hill<br />

suburbs including Lyttelton are<br />

woefully lacking when it comes<br />

PLAN: A report on whether the former Tamaki Maori Village site in Ferrymead could be turned<br />

into a dog park is expected to return before Christmas. ​<br />

to designated dog parks and I<br />

have no doubt the Ferrymead<br />

site would be utilised by many<br />

of us dog owners on this side of<br />

town. Let’s hope the city council<br />

will make it a reality.<br />

Belinda Rooney – Yes, we<br />

support this.<br />

Anthea Wilson – Yes, I<br />

would definitely use it – in fact I<br />

already use it on occasion. Once<br />

it is fully fenced and some of the<br />

potholes filled it will be brilliant.<br />

About a year and half ago I<br />

emailed the city council suggesting<br />

it but never heard back.<br />

So it is a yes from me.<br />

Ann Newsom – I think its<br />

great idea to have a dog park at<br />

Ferrymead on the old Maori village<br />

site. It would be an alternative<br />

to the beach which if full of<br />

dogs at summer week ends.<br />

Jill Reesby – Excellent idea.<br />

Sounds like all of the buildings<br />

have already been removed and<br />

it is now bare land, so this would<br />

be an excellent idea as more and<br />

more restrictions on free running<br />

of dogs is implemented.<br />

Jeffrey Gibson – It already<br />

is a dog park on most weekends.<br />

Sarah Joseph – I think a<br />

dog park in Ferrymead is an<br />

excellent idea. I’ve been looking<br />

for safe places to let our dog<br />

have a run off the lead.<br />

Nick Stoneman – No to<br />

a dog park got lots of them<br />

already.<br />

Karen Beaumont – If is not<br />

going to be used again, leave the<br />

buildings there and turn it into<br />

a paintball adventure. At least<br />

you can still make money off it.<br />

Plenty of dog parks already, it’s<br />

called the red zone.<br />

Jenny Bradley – Can’t help<br />

thinking this will attract people<br />

who may not like seeing my dog<br />

walking around with a dead<br />

rabbit in his jaws.<br />

Pamela Dixon – I reckon we<br />

have plenty of areas for our dogs<br />

to play, how about a theme park?<br />

Way more exciting.<br />

Tess Lenihan – Best idea<br />

ever. A lot of dog walkers go<br />

here already. Plus it might eliminate<br />

the mass rabbit population<br />

up there.<br />

Anita Beukenholdt – Great<br />

idea but plant the boundary<br />

with edible fruit trees so it has<br />

more than one purpose.<br />

Margaret Nicholas –<br />

Great. We need lots more<br />

dog parks. They bring people<br />

together and are great for<br />

socialising. Make it like the Styx<br />

Park.<br />

Hazel Cain – About time<br />

our animals had a great park<br />

with plenty of different smells<br />

to find.<br />

Lisa Peters – How fantastic<br />

our dogs love it there. Nice and<br />

safe. Great place on a warm<br />

day.<br />

Woolston<br />

THE TE Oranga Waikura urban<br />

forest and stormwater basin was<br />

scheduled to officially open last<br />

night.<br />

The urban forest has been<br />

planted in Woolston on land that<br />

was previously part of Linwood<br />

College’s lower fields.<br />

The earthquake-damaged land<br />

was bought by city council to use<br />

as a stormwater basin to reduce<br />

the risk of flooding for properties<br />

in the surrounding area during<br />

severe weather.<br />

The city council has turned the<br />

flood mitigation measure into<br />

a forested reserve that will also<br />

bring ecological and community<br />

benefits.<br />

The reserve features a loop<br />

walkway and more than 16,000<br />

naive trees and plants.<br />

It was opened last night with a<br />

formal blessing ceremony which<br />

was attended by city councillors,<br />

Linwood Central Heathcote<br />

members of the public.<br />

Community board chairwoman<br />

Sally Buck said the board is very<br />

excited about the opening of the<br />

reserve.<br />

“While some of us might not see<br />

the full benefits in our lifetime,<br />

this is a true legacy project and<br />

will be enjoyed for generations to<br />

come. It will create a green space<br />

in a part of the city that really<br />

needs it while also reducing the<br />

risk of flooding for local residents,<br />

which is very important.”<br />

Council landscape architect and<br />

ecologist Dr Antony Shadbolt said<br />

the reserve will seem forest-like<br />

within a decade.<br />

It is strategically located to<br />

provide both a core habitat and<br />

a stepping stone for native bush<br />

bird movement across the city.<br />

rugby supporters club player<br />

of the year award.<br />

A number of other players from around<br />

Canterbury picked up awards<br />

•Marist Albion’s Daniel<br />

Fransen was named men’s<br />

sevens player of the year<br />

after an outstanding club<br />

spring sevens series, and<br />

season with the Canterbury<br />

sevens team which earned<br />

him selection in the New<br />

Zealand development team.<br />

He scored 12 tries during the<br />

campaign and showed adept<br />

goal-kicking abilities to finish<br />

with 118 points for the season;<br />

44 of which were scored at<br />

nationals.<br />

•Christchurch’s William<br />

Tucker took home the men’s<br />

under-19 player of the year<br />

award. The young lock was<br />

recognised for his diverse<br />

skill set, aerial abilities<br />

and important set-piece<br />

contribution. He also has a<br />

significant role off the playing<br />

field as a leader within the<br />

group. Tucker accumulated<br />

an impressive amount of time<br />

on the paddock this year,<br />

having played every minute<br />

of every game throughout the<br />

representative season.<br />

•Christchurch’s Lucy<br />

Anderson and Lincoln’s<br />

Rebecca Todd were joint<br />

winners of the women’s<br />

player of the year award.<br />

Anderson pairs solid defence<br />

with an intelligent attacking<br />

mindset and strong ball<br />

carrying skills. She exhibits<br />

great leadership in the<br />

Canterbury backline. Todd,<br />

who is equally as prominent<br />

on defence and attack, has<br />

played at both No 8 and<br />

hooker already this season.<br />

The Lincoln University player<br />

inspires others with her<br />

consistently high work rate,<br />

ability to read the game.<br />

Canterbury rugby supporters<br />

club player of the year. The<br />

the cutter.<br />

•Prebbleton life member<br />

Tony Grimwood was named<br />

volunteer of the year for his<br />

38-year commitment to the<br />

Fighter overcomes poor start<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

• By Tania Butterfield<br />

WHEN 16-YEAR-OLD<br />

Cashmere High School student<br />

Kai Edwards stared down<br />

his opponent in the final of<br />

the men’s junior dan kendo<br />

competition, he had one thing on<br />

his mind.<br />

“I have to squish this spider.<br />

But if I get cocky, he can bite me<br />

back.”<br />

Kai was one of nine members<br />

of the Sei Tou Ken Yu Kai<br />

Canterbury Kendo Club to participate<br />

in the Rembuden Taikai<br />

competition in Wellington.<br />

About 60 of New Zealand’s top<br />

competitors attended the event.<br />

Kendo is the Japanese martial<br />

art of sword fighting, known as<br />

‘the way of the samurai.’<br />

Competitors use their shinai<br />

(bamboo sword) to hit their<br />

opponent on the hand, head or<br />

torso to score points.<br />

Kai is one of four New Zealanders<br />

who fight in the jodan<br />

(sword above the head) position.<br />

“The biggest challenge of the<br />

competition was the continuous<br />

thought of “What if I lose this<br />

fight?,” Kai said.<br />

“I wanted to show the judges<br />

my full potential and that they<br />

had made right decision choosing<br />

me to be the New Zealand<br />

team apprentice for next year’s<br />

world championships.”<br />

Losing his first fight of the day<br />

was difficult, but Kai credits the<br />

support of his coach Blake Bennett<br />

and fellow teammates to get<br />

him through to the final.<br />

“They gave me the encouragement<br />

to get back up onto my feet<br />

and push through, remembering<br />

what my best result is,” Kai said.<br />

“Blake had told me that<br />

kendo isn’t all about winning,<br />

getting a medal is only a bonus.<br />

This taught me to think not just<br />

about the winning but to focus<br />

on doing the best of my ability<br />

and to have no regrets.”<br />

CHAMPION:<br />

Kai Edwards is<br />

one of four New<br />

Zealanders who<br />

fight in the jodan<br />

(sword above the<br />

head) position.<br />

Kai went through the remainder<br />

of the pool matches, quarter<br />

and semi-finals unbeaten.<br />

As fate would have it, Kai’s opponent<br />

in the final was the same<br />

person he had lost to in his first<br />

match.<br />

In a fiercely contested final,<br />

Kai won, becoming the first New<br />

Zealand kendoka to take out<br />

the men’s junior dan title using<br />

jodan.<br />

Kai will attend the Kendo<br />

World Championships as an<br />

apprentice in South Korea next<br />

year.<br />

WALKING: People took their dogs to the Tamaki Heritage site<br />

during the day out where it is proposed to build a dog park.<br />

PHOTOS: YANI JOHANSON ​<br />

Ferrymead dog day out<br />

EVERY MAN, woman and<br />

their dog turned up for the<br />

Dog’s Day Out in Ferrymead.<br />

The event on Saturday included<br />

a tour of the Tamaki Heritage<br />

site, a walk through Ferrymead<br />

Heritage Village and a ride on<br />

the tram.<br />

It has been proposed that the<br />

area, once home to the failed<br />

Christchurch Maori Village,<br />

should be turned into a dog<br />

park.<br />

City councillor Yani Johanson<br />

and the Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

have asked city council staff to<br />

prepare a report on whether<br />

the site could be used as a dog<br />

exercise area.<br />

That report is expected to<br />

go back to the board before<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 />

BOW WOW: These pooches<br />

got a ride on the tram at<br />

Ferrymead Heritage Park.<br />

Cr Johanson said the site<br />

would be suited to a dog park.<br />

“There is a shortage of dog exercise<br />

areas in the bay harbour<br />

area. You’ve got the beaches but<br />

there have been restrictions put<br />

on around what time of year<br />

(you can take dogs) and there’s<br />

often stock grazing up at John<br />

Britten Reserve.”<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 />

New and quality used tyres<br />

for most makes & models<br />

This family-run, independent tyre<br />

business in Birmingham Drive specialises<br />

in new and quality second-hand tyres.<br />

The business is owned by husband and<br />

wife Athol and Julie Hurst, with Julie being<br />

the one who runs the day-to-day operation<br />

and fits the tyres for customers, which is<br />

unusual in the male-dominated industry,<br />

she says.<br />

They stock a large selection of new tyres<br />

from a wide range of suppliers to suit your<br />

wheelbarrow, car, van, 4wd or trailer.<br />

“There are very few brands we can’t do,”<br />

Julie says.<br />

“We also have an excellent selection of<br />

quality second-hand 4WD tyres.<br />

Other services JCM Direct offers include<br />

puncture repairs, supply and fitting of<br />

new and second-hand alloy wheels, wheel<br />

alignments, replacement factory steel<br />

rims, rim repairs and lights.<br />

“We also specialise in old rims, from the<br />

1930s to the 1970s, which people purchase<br />

for caravans and old trailers. The modern<br />

rims won’t fit those,” Julie says.<br />

“JCM Direct also do a lot of matching<br />

rims and tyres, so customers don’t have to<br />

buy a complete new set if only one needs<br />

replacing.”<br />

We can create packages to accommodate<br />

all budgets, with finance available via Q<br />

Card or Farmers Card.<br />

JCM Direct is now in a new location,<br />

on the corner of Birmingham Drive and<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

Physical Sense supports senior well-being<br />

Eight yEars ago, the Physical sense<br />

gym and Physio in sydenham, created a<br />

program to help stroke survivors. Their<br />

specialised exercise program is based<br />

on the work of the Burwood stroke<br />

rehabilitation team.<br />

Participants were so happy with the<br />

classes and the benefits they experienced<br />

that it has now grown to four classes<br />

each week. New classes have also been<br />

added to be effective for those who have<br />

suffered from Osteoporosis, intermittent<br />

Claudication, and Diabetes. On top of<br />

that they also run four weekly classes<br />

for seniors. These weekly rehabilitation<br />

and injury prevention classes can lead to<br />

continued gym membership at a reduced<br />

cost. Participants may also be eligible for<br />

a WiNZ subsidy to pay for the continued<br />

gym membership.<br />

Join one of the classes and increase<br />

your strength and mobility or just come<br />

in to find out more about what assistance<br />

is available for you.<br />

it all starts with a free assessment<br />

on Monday at 11.30 am where an<br />

experienced physiotherapist will assess<br />

your situation and advise you on the most<br />

appropriate exercise group with the aim to<br />

enable you to keep living as independently<br />

as possible.<br />

Life can get tougher as we get older,<br />

and it’s often easy to think that we should<br />

simply struggle on. yet a huge range of<br />

services are available to make life easier.<br />

Because these services are sometimes<br />

difficult to find, a new non-profit Centre<br />

for senior Wellbeing has been established.<br />

here you can get all the information<br />

needed to make sure that you (or your<br />

Join the classes at Physical Sense<br />

parents) can keep on living independently.<br />

it is a “walk-in” information centre<br />

where the staff are happy to connect you<br />

to the services you need to; -prevent<br />

falling, -make adjustments to home and<br />

surroundings, -reduce pain, -stay mobile,<br />

care for your feet.<br />

Problems with feet is a real issue for<br />

many older people with limited flexibility.<br />

The Centre offers in-home footcare for<br />

a reasonable fee. additionally, there are<br />

services provided by dieticians to help<br />

with weight gain or loss, nutrition and<br />

shopping. also occupational therapists<br />

who help maintain independence, safety<br />

in the home, and practical strategies for<br />

coping with issues like memory loss and<br />

pain. speech and language therapists<br />

support those with swallowing and<br />

communication concerns. Physiotherapy,<br />

in-clinic or at home, can help you stay<br />

mobile, reduce pain and increase wellness.<br />

stops in front of the door and there is ample parking. To enquire phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />

4 Eve apples<br />

100g Butter, preferably unsalted,<br />

at room temperature<br />

Directions<br />

Heat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />

Place the biscuits in a sealable<br />

plastic bag, seal and roll a<br />

a thin edge of apple around the<br />

inside and base.<br />

Discarding any core pieces,<br />

chop the flesh finely.<br />

Mix together the biscuit<br />

crumbs, butter and chopped<br />

apple to make a soft mix. Divide<br />

the mix evenly among the apples,<br />

packing it in firmly. Sit the hats<br />

back on top.<br />

Place the apples on a baking<br />
