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 />

after its assessment as a low to<br />

council staff considered the<br />
street unlikely to be a priority for<br />
any available funding.<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 />

Whippy brought an American-styled<br />
culture to the team,<br />
something he learned in his time<br />
at Woods Cross High School,<br />
Utah, and Brigham Young University–Hawaii.<br />
“I played basketball in high<br />
school in the States and it is all<br />
about grades as well as the sport.<br />
I want to bring that culture<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 />
manager James Lissaman<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 />
said.<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 />

Urban<br />
forest<br />
opens in<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 />
Community Board members, the<br />
Te Waka Una School Kapa Haka,<br />
city council general manager of<br />
city services David Adamson and<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 />
on-field organisation and<br />
ability to read the game.<br />

occasions this year.<br />
•Former Linwood player<br />
Richie Mo’unga was named<br />
Canterbury rugby supporters<br />
club player of the year. The<br />
first five-eighth has had an<br />
outstanding success rate<br />
with the boot this season and<br />
is one of the leading point<br />
scorers in the Mitre 10 Cup<br />
competition for Canterbury.<br />
Mo’unga shows composure<br />
and maturity beyond his 23<br />
years as he directs play from<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 />
club. There is no job too big<br />
or small for Grimwood, who<br />
said he didn’t do it for an<br />
award. “It’s a great club . . . So<br />
it is quite easy to see why the<br />
years have flown by,” he said.<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 />

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

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 />

STUFFED APPLE<br />
CRUMBLES<br />
Ingredients<br />
200g Gingernuts<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 />
wooden rolling pin firmly over<br />
the package to crush the biscuits<br />
finely.<br />
Alternatively crush them in a<br />
food processor.<br />
Cut a thick slice off the top of<br />
the apple and set aside. These<br />
will be the chapeaux — hats.<br />
Using an apple corer or a<br />
teaspoon, dig out the flesh from<br />
the centre of the apple, leaving<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 />
paper-lined tray or in a shallowsided<br />
ovenproof dish.<br />
Bake for 15-20min or until the<br />
apples have softened. Serve with<br />
cream or hot custard.<br />
