Cheers 

for new 

school 

• By Emily O’Connell 

CLASSES STARTED at South 

Hornby School’s new site on 

Amyes Rd yesterday. 

Principal Simon Moriarty 

said building started in 2014 

and has cost about $10 to $15 

million. 

The school was based on 

Shands Rd but they have now 

moved to the site which was

Dalziel to meet police over bus lounge 


MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel and 

the city’s top police officer will 

meet over the ongoing 

problems at the Riccarton 

bus lounge. 

Ms Dalziel (right) 

hopes to meet with Superintendent 

John Price 

early next month, as finding 

solutions to the bus 

lounge linger on. 

The lounge, on the corner of 

Riccarton Rd and Division St, 

has been plagued with youth issues 

since it opened in December 

2015. 

A working party consisting of 

board members, business and 

landowners, police, 

community groups and 

residents’ association 

representatives have 

made 19 recommendations 

to help solve the 

issues. 

These include extending 

bus lounge closing 

times, playing music in Division 

St which would attract more 

people to the area and changing 

the current bus lounge Wi-Fi 

policies. 

City councillors also decided 

to lobby central Government 

to request a review of the Local 

Government Act bylaw provisions 

that would allow arrests 

to be made or instant fines to be 

issued for breaching a bylaw. 

Ms Dalziel said instant fines 

can be effective but not if you 

don’t have any money and a lot 

of children nor their parents 

have the resources to pay for 

them.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

WESTERN NEWS 

News.................................3, 6-7 

IF LIANNE Dalziel and police 

chief John Price can’t get any 

action on solving problems at the 

Riccarton bus lounge, then the 

war is lost (see page 1). 

That’s the latest twist on this 

long drawn out saga that is now 

nearly two years in the making. 

The problem: Teenagers and 

others causing problems for bus 

users and businesses in the area. 

The solution: Good, strong 

policing. 

But the police can’t be everywhere 

and disorder issues at the 

lower end of the scale get a low 

priority. 

However, people using the bus 

lounge should be able to do so 

without being hassled and made 

to feel intimidated. 

Police initially thought a bylaw 

would do the trick but that has 

gone by the wayside. A cynic 

might say resourcing. 

So it’s up to Dalziel and Price.

Bid to curb uni parking spillover 

Residents to 

have say on 

restrictions 


A PLAN to increase parking 

restrictions on streets near 

Canterbury University has got 

the thumbs up from residents. 

The city council wants to put 

restrictions on streets from 

Straven through to Avonhead 

Rds. Public consultation will 

open next month. 

Ilam and Upper Riccarton 

Residents’ Association chairman 

Phil McGoldrick said many 

residents in the area get 

frustrated with the amount of 

vehicles parking long-term in 

their streets. 

The off-street car parking is 

taken up by university students 

and staff, he said. 

He said they park on grass 

verges and block driveways, 

which causes safety and 

aesthetic issues. 

Mr McGoldrick said even 

turning out of his driveway 

is dangerous because he has 

limited visibility. 

About a year ago, the city 

council decided to look at 

additional parking restrictions 

due to the amount of calls they 

received from residents. 

But Mr McGoldrick has 

another solution for the parking 

problem: Students and staff 

should cycle to university. 

“The university has told me 

that 40 per cent of their students 

and 60 per cent of their staff 

drive to the university,” Mr 

McGoldrick said. 

“They changed a lot of the 

roading systems to encourage 

biking but there is a very, very 

limited number of people who 

cycle to the university.” 

A Canterbury University 

spokeswoman said: “The city 

council determines suburban 

parking policy and all parking 

requirements on the university 

campuses. Decisions about 

on-campus parking charges are 

made by the university council.” 

The spokeswoman said the 

university encourages more 

sustainable travel, including 

cycling, car pooling, walking or 

busing. 

She said a university survey in 

2016 showed 19 per cent of both 

students and staff cycled and

McGoldrick 

wants students 

and staff to cycle 

into Canterbury 

University 

rather than 

fill up nearby 

streets with 

their vehicles. 

PHOTO: GILBERT 

WEALLEANS 

28.4 per cent of students walked, 

or skated to campus. 

Mr McGoldrick would like 

to see more done. “I think the 

university really should get its 

act together and get good bike 

sheds established as soon as 

possible. I think the city council 

need to address the issue. I think 

we need resident parking and 

we probably need meter parking 

about the university,” Mr 

McGoldrick said. 

He said the ideal solution 

would be for people who study 

and work in this area to use more 

public transport and bicycles.

PLAYGROUND UPGRADE 

Templeton Residents’ Association 

is behind a fundraising effort to 

upgrade the Templeton Domain 

playground. The association will 

run a raffle at the Templeton 

Community Centre, 64 Kirk Rd, 

on Sunday, October 29. Once it 

has money in the bank, the 

association plans to ask the city 

council for help to upgrade the 

playground. 

AIDANFIELD DRIVE SPEED 

Vehicles on Aidanfield Drive will 

have to slow to 40km/h when 

passing Aidanfield Christian 

School during school hours. The 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board approved the 

lower speed limit, down from 

50km/h. City council statistics 

show the average speed on 

Aidanfield Drive is currently 

46.1km/h. Community board 

chairman Mike Mora said 

the speed limit needed to be 

lowered and the change will be 

implemented by the city council. 

YALDHURST MEMORIAL 

It was reported in Western News 

last week that the demolition of 

Yaldhurst Memorial Hall would 

cost about $500,000. This is incorrect. 

The actual figure of demolition

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VET 

NURSE AT McMASTER & HEAP 

Its early morning and the HOSPITAL nurse is 

already hard at work, caring for her sometimes 

numerous & varied hospital patients who have 

stayed the night. 

She cuddles & chats away to them 

reassuringly as if they were her own! 

Some soiled patients are sponge bathed, 

while other patients are syringe fed. She checks, 

untwists and flushes IV catheters, administers 

morning medications, fresh food & clean 

bedding is lovingly placed! All observations are 

recorded ready for the “Vet rounds”, just as in a 

hospital! 

The Vets at McMaster & Heap rely heavily on 

the expertise and thoroughness of our nurses 

to inform us with regards to the patients in 

her care. The vets check over their patients, 

authorize blood tests or radiographs, change 

medication or nutrition plans and update the 

owners. 

Then its back to the hospital nurse to care 

for the needs of these patients over the course 

of the day, updating the vet, speaking to the 

family members involved and organizing 

visiting times. Excellent time management skills 

are required to triage the sick arrivals through 

the day and care for the already sick and injured. 

Note taking and recording of medications given 

is of utmost importance. 

Meanwhile the doors have opened & the 

RECEPTION nurse is cheerfully assisting the 

receptionist, greeting a continuous stream 

of pets and their owners arriving for today’s 

appointments & procedures! 

She expertly multi tasks while answering the 

relentlessly ringing phones-today she will take 

a huge number of calls with a wide variety of 

questions. She must use her problem solving 

skills to know when it is OK for a patient to 

come in later in the day, or if in fact it may 

require a much more urgent consult time. 

The SURGICAL nurse gets ready for her 

busy day ahead. Patients start arriving at 8am 

for admittance and some days we have 4 

vets operating and a list of over 15 surgical 

procedures to work through. Every nurse has a 

vet assigned to them to allow continuity of care. 

She will talk kindly & soothingly to each 

patient while efficiently placing IV catheters 

& obtain blood and urine samples to run 

diagnostic tests for the vet. She then calculates 

and administers her patients pre anaesthetic 

medications as instructed. 

Anaesthetic machines must then be checked 

& the surgical room fully equipped for the 

variety of today’s procedures! 

Once everything is ready, she will assist the 

vet in the patients induction and intubation, 

before swiftly attaching all monitoring 

equipment, as well as manual checks. Once 

happy the patient is stable, she sterile preps the 

patients surgical site. She closely monitors the 

patient through the entire procedure, alerting 

the vet to any subtle changes in the patients 

anaesthetic depth, blood pressure and more. 

She carefully moves the patient over to a 

cosy recovery bed, where the hospital nurse is 

waiting to continue the post operative care. 

Evening consults are arriving & reception is a 

hype of activity. Phones are ringing constantly 

& owners are arriving to pick up their animals 

from surgery & hospital. 

The reception nurse expertly talks to owners 

experiencing a wide range of emotions, from 

extreme sadness, stress, anxiety, to those who 

are excited or just plain relieved to be able to 

see their furry friend once more. She goes over 

the large variety of discharge information that 

the vets & nurses have carefully put aside for 

their patients. 

The hospital nurse kindly talks to worried 

owners who are visiting their pets and updates 

them on the vets plan for overnight care. 

She carries out her final rounds and ensures 

everyone gets a cuddle goodnight! 

She assists the vet in preparing any extremely 

unwell patients that require transfer to the after 

hours clinic. 

At 7pm the last consult has finished, and 

the doors are closed! The nurses may still 

be buzzing around for another hour or so, 

depending on today’s work load. Although 

sometimes they are totally exhausted (& 

covered in various unidentified stains & smells!) 

they go home to their own pets with a big 

smile on their face. They know each day they 

assist the vets in making a huge difference to 

animals lives by putting 100% of time, love, care 

& knowledge to ensure each furry patient and 

it’s owner has had the best veterinary service 

and care possible!!

The benefits of car pooling 

City 

councillor 

Anne 

Galloway 

talks 

about car 

sharing, its benefits 

and why you should 

start doing it 

If cycling and taking 

the bus are not options 

for you, car pooling is 

another way to cut costs, 

chat with fellow travellers 

and potentially to speed up 

travel. 

Traffic, particularly on 

Halswell and Lincoln Rds, 

banks up regularly at rush 

hour at both ends of each 

day. 

It’s especially bad on 

rainy days when regular 

bus users or cyclists take 

to their cars to stay dry. 

Car pooling, as little as 

once a week or even once a 

fortnight will make a significant 

difference to traffic 

congestion. 

Wherever you are in the 

city, car pooling can help. 

Car pooling helps you 

save money, by dividing 

up the petrol costs among 

your car pool passengers. 

Car pooling also helps you

mon - fri 9am - 5pm 

sat 10am - 4pm sun 10am - 2pm 

save on the cost of vehicle 

repairs and maintenance 

if you rotate vehicle use 

between the members of 

your car pool team. Additionally, 

you and everyone 

else can save some money 

on road fees because with 

more car pooling there 

are fewer cars on the road 

and therefore less wear 

and damage to the roads 

that need to be repaired 

each year using ratepayers 

money. 

Car pooling helps the 

environment. Car pooling 

cuts down on the number 

of cars and vehicles on the 

road. Fewer cars means 

there’s less carbon and 

other gasses and pollution 

getting into the air. This 

protects the environment 

by keeping the air, water, 

and land cleaner. 

Car pooling is good for 

your health. According to 

numerous health reports 

and research, air pollution 

caused by auto emissions 

can significantly increase 

the likelihood of health 

issues such as asthma, 

allergies, lung cancer and 

chronic obstructive pulmonary 

disease. 

Research data has also 

suggested that car pooling 

can be far less stressful 

than simply commuting on 

your own. 

Car pooling is a very 

convenient option which 

can give you great flexibility. 

Whatever your 

needs are, you can look 

for people who need that 

same schedule or who can 

add you to their route. The 

flexibility makes it a very 

convenient option for any 

long commute. 

Car pooling is also a 

wonderful way to meet 

interesting people, get to 

know the people you work 

with or go to school with, 

and to make new friends.

Readers respond to the 

potential of having more 

parking restrictions on 

streets near Canterbury 

University 

Kirsty McMillan – The car 

parks at the uni’s teachers college 

site are virtually empty as 

parking there is overpriced. This 

results in the surrounding streets 

getting crammed with cars each 

week day. This is a crazy situation 

that has being going on for 

years. The university is missing 

out on revenue and residents are 

parked out. Lower the price of 

parking on this campus and the 

problem will be solved. 

Janice Belgrave – The car 

parks at the Dovedale campus 

are always empty, hundreds of 

parks just sitting empty All day 

as neither staff nor students are 

willing to pay the ridiculous 

fees. $8 for a day ticket, which 

is $3 more than in the centre of 

town. The yearly permit is way 

too much also, $600 for staff. 

Not surprising that everyone 

parks on the road. If they halved 

the price, they would get more 

money than they currently get. 

Clare Burgess – Even if 

the university drops its parking 

charge, which I’m fairly sure it 

won’t, there is limited parking 

available. Unless you are there 

very early it is difficult to park 

PARKING: Parking for free about Canterbury University may get harder if restrictions are placed 

in nearby streets. 

near some work areas. If you 

drop kids to school so are later in 

then parking can be a long walk 

away and parking costs aren’t 

affordable because these staff are 

on reduced hours and parking 

fees aren’t proportional. 

Josh Mundt – Not to mention 

all the construction workers 

that are rebuilding the uni and 

can’t park on campus which have 

to park on the streets around the 

uni. This will make it harder to 

get to work. 

Gill Weavers – Staff parking 

permit is heading to $850 next 

year and you aren’t even guaranteed 

a car park. You pay to look 

for one. They have oversold the 

car parks two times or more. Uni 

really needs to build a car park 

building and stop fleecing staff 

and students to make money off 

them. I really feel for the residents 

around uni as well. Biking/ 

busing isn’t. 

Netty Schulz – It’s a real 

stress for students when there 

isn’t a car park and they have a 

lecture in minutes, there should 

be more parks available not 

fewer. 

Angela Robinson – 

Christchurch has a parking 

problem in all areas as it was 

not looked at with any common 

sense when the rebuild started. 

Shaun Evans – I can’t even 

park outside my house without 

getting a ticket. And no option 

for residents parking. 

Philip Williamson – Build a 

parking building? 

John Rader – The uni needs 

to drop its parking charges. 

Sharren Wilson – Stop the 

insanity . . . think outside the box 

and put in angle parking – instantly 

quadruple parking spaces 

. . . it’s not rocket science. 

Elizabeth Phua – Where 

else can they park, don’t need 

to make it harder, after all the 

parks on Ilam Rd have gone. 

How about free parking on the 

campus. 

Wal Thomas – Free parking 

for bikes. A back pack costs $30. 

Bike fuel . . . free as well. 

Stephen Graham – When I 

was at university I was on a bike. 

This GenZ car-only attitude is 

part of the problem.

The the cost benefit analysis on 

a regulatory impact approach just 

doesn’t stack up, she said. 

“It doesn’t stack up for drunkness 

and it doesn’t stack up for this. Getting 

children on the pathway of arrest 

has all sorts of life consequences 

that I think we need to try and 

avoid,” Ms Dalziel said. 

Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel 

said police are aware of the ongoing 

issues with youths congregating 

at the bus lounge. 

He said the problem is mostly 

during the late afternoon, weekends 

and school holidays. 

“To address the issue, police are 

working with retailers in the area, 

local youth workers, the city council, 

mall and bus exchange security,” 

Senior Sergeant McDaniel said. 

He said as a result of the multiorganisation 

approach police have 

seen a decrease in reports of the 

anti-social behaviour. 

The other 17 recommendations 

are still being investigated by staff 

and reports will be presented to the 

Halswell-Hornby Riccarton Community 

Board and then to the city 

council. 

Community board chairman 

Mike Mora said he hopes the recommendations 

will be in place by 

the end of November.

Sport facility zone change progress 


A RUSSIAN businessman, who 

plans to expand the Yaldhurst 

sports facility, is happy with 

progress following a city council 

meeting last week. 

Canterbury Sports Ltd director 

Slava Meyn, who moved to 

Christchurch in 2009, built the 

Yaldhurst Football Academy 

two years ago. 

He is now in the process of 

planning a bigger complex on 

the 20ha block of land, which 

would include a gymnastics 

indoor stadium, swimming 

pool, sport courts, and weights 

area. 

Last week, the city council’s 

strategic capability committee 

recommended to ask staff to 

investigate a way of rezoning 

the site through the Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Act, and to report back to city 

councillors. 

Mr Meyn is pleased with 

this result as the other option 

could have delayed him up to 

five years with resource and 

building consent processes. 

“It’s a great help for us, 

because we can start to think 

about full site development and 

invite partners and investors 

to build the desired sports 

facility for the Christchurch 

EXPANSION: City council staff are going to look into 

whether rezoning the Yaldhurst sports facility (above) 

is a viable option. If not, the proposed development 

(right) could be delayed up to five years. 

community with certainty and 

the city council support,” he 

said. 

The land he wants to develop 

is zoned Open Space Community 

Park under the district 

plan, which does not allow for 

buildings larger than 1000 sq m. 

Mr Meyn wants the zoning to 

be changed to Open Space Metropolitan 

Facilities Zone, so he 

can progress the development as 

planned. 

City council staff have been 

looking into how it could 

change the zoning to allow the 

expansion to go ahead. 

They decided the best way to 

do so was through the Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration Act. 

Which would require working 

with Regenerate Christchurch 

and the department of prime 

minister and Cabinet. 

The idea to speed up the 

zone-changing process has been 

supported by Sport Canterbury, 

Christchurch Netball Centre, 

Canterbury Basketball Association, 

Mainland Football, 

Canterbury Water Polo, Southern 

Districts Football Club, 

ChristchurchNZ, and Apollo 

Projects – Aquatic and Sporting 

Facilities, which all wrote to the 

city council asking it to help 

change the zoning. 

Wigram MP Megan Woods 

and Canterbury Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce chief 

executive Peter Townsend have 

also written in support of using 

the act to do so. 

The existing football facility 

has two full size artificial 

football pitches, four artificial 

mini-pitches, a full-size natural 

turf pitch, clubroom facilities, 

café, administrative offices, 

grandstand seating for about 

1000 people.

Cheers 

for new 

school 

•From page 1 

Former Education Minister 

Hekia Parata announced the closure 

of Branston Intermediate and 

South Hornby move in 2013. 

Mr Moriarty said the best part 

was seeing the excitement on 

his pupils’ faces as they saw the 

school for the first time. 

“They’re overwhelmed in a positive 

way, it’s fantastic for the community 

and the pupils’,” he said. 

The school was built with structural 

insulated panels – a first in 

the country. The panels, which 

consist of an insulating foam 

core sandwiched between strand 

board, make the classrooms airtight 

and highly energy efficient. 

Mr Moriarty said the second 

part of the build is their school 

pool. He’s hoping the pool will 

be built by the start of next year 

ready for the swimming season. 

South Hornby School will 

have their first community open 

afternoon tomorrow between 4 

and 6pm.

Steve Hart 

Teacher moves up the ranks to 

Recently appointed 

principal of St Thomas 

of Canterbury College 

2018 Steve Hart has 

been with the school 

for 13 years. He has 

been deputy principal 

for 10 years and head of 

sport for three. He talks 

to Emily O’Connell 

What was the first sport you 

played? 

Rugby would have been the 

first sport that I played and I was 

four-years-old. I don’t play any 

sports now, I finished playing 

rugby when I was 29 years old. 

My favourite part was the 

camaraderie. 

What got you into teaching? 

Teaching is something I’ve 

always wanted to do even when 

I was at secondary school. Just 

really wanted to do that and 

yes, as soon as I could, I got 

into teacher’s college. Just loved 

teaching ever since. I don’t feel 

I’ve worked a day in my life, just 

love coming to work and working 

with young people. 

How long have you been 

teaching then? 

When did I start . . . 2000 was 

my first year, so what are we, it 

would be 17 years. 

What was the first school you 

taught at? 

I taught at St Peter’s College in 

Auckland. 

What do you remember about 

your first job there? 

What I do remember is when 

I left teacher’s college I thought 

I knew a lot, but when I started 

teaching I realised very quickly 

you had to be very adaptable and 

it wasn’t easy at all. The thing I 

learnt very, very quickly was it 

was really important to get to 

know the young people as people 

and that was kind of the key, 

was relating to the students. And 

that’s kind of taken me where I 

am today really, that’s the one 

thing I found the biggest help. 

When you see them as young

people and you’re interested in 

them, that’s the trick to it. 

What keeps you motivated? 

Definitely the people – the boys 

at St Thomas’ are just fantastic. 

Just watching young people 

develop, when you get to do that, 

yes, you’re quite blessed. It’s quite 

a special thing to see boys come 

in here at 12 to 13-years-old and 

then bump into them further 

down the track when they’re in 

their mid to late-20s and see how 

their life has mapped out. Nothing 

beats it. 

What’s your favourite thing to 

do outside of work? 

Every spare second I get, I love 

to spend it with my family. I lead 

a pretty busy life and that’s a 

choice. I see teaching as a vocation 

so I get involved outside of 

the classroom as much as I possibly 

can. So any spare minute, I 

love spending that time with my 

family. They sacrifice a lot – a lot 

of the time that I would normally 

spend with them. 

So you have children? 

Yes, I have four children – 

Thomas, 13, Jack, 12, Charlie, 9 

and Isla, 7. 

Will any of your children go 

to St Thomas’ of Canterbury? 

Two are at St Thomas of Canterbury 

College already and my 

youngest two are at Our Lady 

of Victories School which is the 

Catholic primary school which 

borders St Thomas’ so that makes 

life easy. 

Have you taught any of your 

children? 

This year I’ve had to teach 

my second son, Jack, which has 

been interesting. It’s been good, 

he’s a good boy so not too many 

dramas.

lead school 

Where did you grow up? 

I’m from Christchurch, I’ve 

grown up here and I spent obviously 

some time up in Auckland. 

I went over to the United Kingdom 

for three years with my wife. 

We came back to Christchurch 

to have our first child and yes, 

been here ever since – been at St 

Thomas’ ever since that. 

Did you enjoy teaching in the 

United Kingdom? 

Yes, it was very different, 

massive diversity. I worked in a 

few different schools. I actually 

worked up in Scotland for a while 

as well, in kind of a residential 

unit for boys who had a pretty 

tough time in life. That was very 

difficult for them but just to be 

around them as well and see the 

really tough start they had to life. 

The big thing I took away from 

that was how lucky children who 

are brought up in New Zealand 

are. There’s so many more opportunities 

that they get here 

that they are not really able to 

have other there in the United 

Kingdom. 

What’s the biggest lesson 

you’ve learnt from teaching? 

The thing I hope we provide 

young people with, which is becoming 

more and more of a challenge 

in society today, is it’s okay 

to fail and it’s okay when things 

don’t go right. It’s important that 

schools and adults help children 

understand that so we can try 

and really foster that resilience in 

them. 

RELAXED: 

Steve Hart 

said the key 

to teaching 

is seeing 

students as 

young people 

and being 

interested in 

them. 

Boarding house turns 100 

• By Julia Evans 

FORMER Christchurch Boys’ 

High School students are going 

back to school. 

Old boys from across the 

country will be celebrating the 

centenary of its boarding house, 

Adams House, over the long 

weekend. 

Opening in 1917, over the 

following 100 years the hostel 

has housed 10 per cent of the 

school’s roll. 

Some notables include retired 

High Court judge Lester 

Chisholm, 21-year-old millionaire 

Jake Millar, president of 

Elizabeth Arden Peter England, 

New Zealand squash champion 

Paul Coll, sevens rugby player 

Mark Jackman. 

And of course it wouldn’t be 

CBHS without some All Blacks 

– Stu Loe, Dave Hewitt, Scott 

Hamilton and Adam Thompson 

were all boarders before starting 

their rugby careers. 

To mark the occasion, the 

old boys are returning to bunk 

down in their former dorm 

rooms, have high tea, breakfast 

and tours of the modern school. 

Although the first boarders 

were not treated with the same 

luxury, like unlimited Wi-Fi or 

the automated cricket bowling 

machine, students have now. 

ORIGINAL: Adams House has housed 10 per cent of the 

school roll at Christchurch Boys’ High School in its 100 years.

Uni, Chch club players take rugby awards 

CANTERBURY University’s 

Sam Godwin has been named 

the province’s top development 

player. 

He was honoured at the 

Canterbury rugby awards 

evening at The Piano Centre for 

Music and the Arts last week. 

Godwin’s high work rate saw 

him regularly feature at the top 

of individual tackle counts. 

His presence inspires others 

on the field, which is a testament 

to the respect he earns from his 

peers and the team management. 

A number of other players 

from around Canterbury also 

picked up awards. 

Marist Albion’s Daniel Fransen 

was named men’s sevens player 

of the year after outstanding 

series’ with his club and for 

Canterbury, which earned him 

selection in the New Zealand 

development team. 

He scored 12 tries during the 

Canterbury sevens campaign 

and showed adept goal-kicking 

abilities to finish with 118 points 

for the season, 44 of which were 

scored at nationals. 

Christchurch’s William 

Tucker took home the men’s 

under-19 player of the year. 

The young lock was recognised 

for his diverse skill set, aerial 

abilities and important set-piece 

contribution. He also plays a 

significant role off the field as a 

leader within the group. 

HARD WORKER: Canterbury University’s Sam Godwin won the Canterbury development player 

of the year award for his “unquenchable thirst for work”. PHOTO: CHARLIE ROSE CREATIVE 

He accumulated an impressive 

amount of time on the field 

this year, playing every minute 

of every game throughout the 

representative season. 

Christchurch’s Lucy Anderson 

and Lincoln University’s Rebecca 

Todd were joint winners of 

the women’s player of the year 

award. 

Anderson has solid defence, 

an intelligent attacking mindset, 

strong ball-carrying skills, and 

exhibits great leadership in the 

Canterbury backline. 

Todd, who is equally as 

prominent on defence and 

attack, has played at both No 8 

and hooker already this season. 

She inspires others with her 

consistently high work rate, onfield 

organisation, and ability to 

read the game. 

Others from around the city 

picked up awards as well. 

TeRauoriwa Gapper was 

named women’s sevens player of 

the year. Her fitness, speed and 

physicality make her an ideal 

sevens player, She possesses a 

high work rate, good defence, 

and the ability to beat defenders 

one-on-one. As captain, Gapper 

led the team to the South Island 

regional title and the national 

tournament. She always features 

SPORTS 

prominently whenever she wears 

the red and black jersey. 

Lincoln’s Nick Werahiko was 

named Maori player of the year. 

Werahiko is a fine example 

of what loyalty, integrity and 

commitment looks like in a 

young athlete. He was recently 

awarded his 100-game blazer for 

his division one club team, was 

named Waitaha captain for the 

second year and featured in the 

Canterbury A side on numerous 

occasions this year. 

Richie Mo’unga was named 

Canterbury rugby supporters 

club player of the year. 

The first five-eighth has had 

an outstanding success rate with 

the boot this season and is one of 

the leading point-scorers in the 

Mitre 10 Cup. Mo’unga shows 

composure and maturity beyond 

his 23 years as he directs play 

from the cutter. 

Prebbleton life member 

Tony Grimwood was awarded 

volunteer of the year for his 38- 

year commitment to the club. 

There is no job too big or small 

for Grimwood, who said he 

didn’t do it for an award. “It’s a 

great club with great people. So it 

is quite easy to see why the years 

have flown by,” he said. 

SPEED: Since the speed change from 60km/h to 50km/h, 

residents have noticed a difference on roads like Haslwell 

Junction Rd. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Lower speed limits working 


A HALSWELL resident says 

reduced speed limits in the area 

are a lot better but more could still 

be done. 

Speed limits on multiple roads 

in Halswell were reduced earlier 

this year. Halswell Junction Rd 

was reduced from 60km/h to 

50km/h, Quaifes Rd from 80km/h 

to 50km/h and 100m of Quaifes 

Rd south-east of Whincops Rd 

from 80km/h to 70km/h. 

Marshs Rd was reduced from 

80km/h to 70km/h, Sparks Rd 

from 80km/h to 60km/h and 

Sutherlands Rd from 80km/h to 

60km/h. 

Jenny Hawke said she likes the 

lower speeds but on some roads 

people just ignore them. 

“Definitely getting the speed 

limits lowered is the first step but, 

because I do a lot of driving, I 

drive from Halswell to Rangiora 

every day for work, I just find that 

people don’t bother sticking to the 

speed limit,” she said. 

Miss Hawke said if there were 

more consequences around 

speeding, people might pay more 

attention. 

“When you’re driving every day 

and once in a blue moon, you see 

a police car or someone pulled 

over then, you know, it doesn’t 

mean much. It’s frustrating that 

there are not more consequences 

for that,” she said. 

City council transport acting 

manager operations said speed 

counts showed the average 

was down along Halswell Junction 

Rd. 

She said the Haslwell residents’ 

she had spoken to liked the 

changes. 

“We’ve got quite a few elderly 

neighbours and you feel better 

watching them cross the road 

and you know it’s safer for them 

because they’ve got more time,” 

Miss Hawke said.



Southern ChiropraCtiC 

3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs) 

New premises for Southern Chiropractic 

The move to bigger and brighter 

premises means Southern Chiropractic 

clients will feel envigorated when they 

visit principal chiropractor Andre Grob. 

“I have been based for 10 years in 

Halswell so really wanted to find a 

location that was still accessible for 

my patients in this area and also easy 

for those who travel further afield for 

treatment,” Andre says. 

The rooms are down the driveway 

opposite Our Vet at Halswell on 3 

Kennedy’s Bush Rd. There is plenty 

of parking on the street in front of the 

building which houses Mike Pero and 

other businesses. 

A generous waiting area has standing 

room or low and high seating, 

depending on where clients find it most 

comfortable. 

The treatment room is spacious 

and allows those who are seeking 

chiropractic care ample room to talk to 

Andre about what they are experiencing 

as well as a separate area for him to 

treat you. 

For those who may not be aware 

chiropractic treatment isn’t just about 

specialised spinal adjustment. The 

effective use of low level laser treatment 

for assisting in the healing of deep tissue 

and joint problems has been used for 

more than 40 years. 

This treatment, which uses photo 

stimulation of mitochondria in cells, 

is able to penetrate into the site of 

injury to promote healing and reduce 

inflammation – relaxing muscles and 

reducing pain. 

Andre has seen how the non-invasive 

treatment has resulted in impressive 

results for his clients. 

The treatment, which only takes 15 

to 20 minutes, is especially effective 

with muscle and joint pain, stiffness 

associated with arthritis, neck and lower 

back pain. It is approved by the FDA and 

Meta analysis by the Lancet Medical 

Journal also endorses the treatment 

saying it can reduce pain intensity, 

disability and the reoccurrence of pain. 

Andre can also provide other treatments 

including adjustments, exercises, 

stretches and muscle therapy – to 

readjust the body or help it heal from 

conditions that are physical in origin. 

These can include problems such as 

back pain, muscle spasms, headaches 

and poor posture. 

It is also completely appropriate to 

5 Warning Signs 

receive chiropractic care even though 

you may not have symptoms. Unlike 

standard medical doctors who you 

visit when you have symptoms that 

need to be treated, chiropractors 

offer adjustments to improve spinal 

alignment and overall wellbeing – and 

can prevent the pain or other symptoms 

even starting. 

ACC recognises chiropractors as 

primary health care specialists when it 

comes to spinal care so you do not need 

a referral from a GP to seek treatment 

for a back or neck injury as a result of 

accidental causes. In the event of an 

accident we can initiate a claim directly 

and if it is accepted, treatment costs will 

be subsidised. 

Southern Chiropractic is located at 3 Kennedys Bush Rd and is open Monday, 

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. on Tuesdays the clinic operates from Ashburton 

Chiropractic in Ashburton.

STUFFED APPLE 

CRUMBLES 

Ingredients 

200g Gingernuts 

4 Eve apples 

100g Butter, preferably unsalted, 

at room temperature 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Place the biscuits in a sealable 

plastic bag, seal and roll a 

wooden rolling pin firmly over 

the package to crush the biscuits 

finely. 

Alternatively crush them in a 

food processor. 

Cut a thick slice off the top of 

the apple and set aside. These 

will be the chapeaux — hats. 

Using an apple corer or a 

teaspoon, dig out the flesh from 

the centre of the apple, leaving 

a thin edge of apple around the 

inside and base. 

Discarding any core pieces, 

chop the flesh finely. 

Mix together the biscuit 

crumbs, butter and chopped 

apple to make a soft mix. Divide 

the mix evenly among the apples, 

packing it in firmly. Sit the hats 

back on top. 

Place the apples on a baking 

paper-lined tray or in a shallowsided 

ovenproof dish. 

Bake for 15-20min or until the 

apples have softened. Serve with

HOME & HEATING 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home
