Sumner clean-up not
happening in Bishopdale
• By Julia Evans
OVERFLOWING Bishopdale
rubbish bins won’t be collected
more frequently, nor will they
have their size increased.
An outcry from Sumner
residents saw the bins along The
Esplanade being cleared twice as
often.
But Leacroft St resident
Graham Adams said he is “frustrated”
the same isn’t happening
in Bishopdale Park.
Mr Adams has been calling for
the city council to install larger
bins or collect the bins more
frequently at the park across from
his house with no success.
“We all pay rates. It’s part of
that.”

from the reporter’s desk
WE HEAR a lot about rubbish problems along popular beach
spots.
But on today’s front page we see it’s not only Sumner and
New Brighton that are dealing with overflowing bins.
Residents using a local suburban park in Bishopdale are
fighting their own battle trying to get bins cleared so rubbish
isn’t left to fly around in the strong nor-westerly wind.
It’s been a hot summer so it is no wonder the parks are busy
with families and, as a result, the bins are full.
The city council does increase the amount of times bins are
cleared at this time of year, but clearly it’s not quite doing the
trick.
Maybe it’s time for people to start taking their rubbish home
with them?

Potholes reason for ‘poor’ roads
• By Julia Evans
“THIS IS just totally
unacceptable.”
Those are the words of Papanui-Innes
Community Board
chairwoman Ali Jones, who said
the amount of potholes across
the two wards is too high.
Ms Jones and the board are
lobbying to get signs of the
February 22, 2011, earthquake
removed, saying it has now been
seven years.
“This is just
another part
of our recovery
. . . not to
be looking at
this kind of
thing every
day,” she said.

Ali Jones
as the board
asked the
city council for advice on what
it can do in terms of dealing
with abandoned and vacant
properties, which are becoming
“eyesores” and risks in terms of
vandalism and arson.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel supported
the idea.

what the current rules are and

Ms Jones said the roads went
hand-in-hand with the abandoned
properties.
“We just want some emphasis
and effort put in around our
pavements and roads,” she said.
Ms Jones said streets in St
Albans around Rugby Park were
particularly poor and were not
planned for repair in the near
future.
But she said it was a wider
issue around the two wards that
were hazards as well as unpleasant
to look at.

Ms Jones said its about getting

Veterinary practice
Charity work
For a while now, Steve and I have helped
out charity organizations in Christchurch.
We are involved with CPL, redzonecats and
more recently the SPCA. We all really enjoy
the involvement and working relationship
we have with these organizations, ensuring
that these animals get “Gold” Standard
treatment and care in our hospital, just like
any of our pets would receive.
Megan and a tabby kitten in for desexing.
What has amazed me is the total
commitment , kindness and compassion
the inspectors, fosterers, vets and carers we
have dealt with have for these homeless,
sick and often abused animals. Many of
these people work voluntarily. It is not an
easy job, physically or emotionally. They
see a lot of things we shouldn’t have to
be exposed to. They often transform
their homes to cater for the fast growing
number of cats to care for. They do the
very best in terms of nutrition and pet care.
They genuinely care and want to improve
the life and health for this animal.
Working with the CPL means we mainly
desex, microchip and vaccinate kittens who
are living with fosterers until they are ready
to be put up for adoption. One of the best
parts of our day is cuddling these kittens
– all are so cute and huggable. Robyn
who we liase with, has worked tirelessly
and voluntarily for over 25 years for the
CPL and is just one of the kindest most
generous people I know. She makes a huge
difference in the lives of those kittens and
has a dedicated team of fosterers to help.
CPL kittens awaiting their surgery.
Redzonecats also do a remarkable job,
a job no one else was prepared to do, in
that they carefully monitor and trap stray
cats in earthquake redzoned areas and
endeavor to find their previous owners or
socialize and rehome these cats to loving
families. Many of these cats have been
alone and “just surviving” since 2011 and

so are difficult for us to handle without
sedation. Initially we check these cats for
FIV and FeLV ( Feline Aids or Feline leukemia
Virus) and if they test negative we will often
desex and vaccinate these cats, perform
dentistry on mouths that require it, and
groom or xray where appropriate. These
cats are given a fantastic chance and we
all treat them with respect, kindness and
humility. We love helping out Jane and her
cats. Another outstanding woman who
genuinely cares about animals.
Recently we have started working
alongside the SPCA. This has been
particularly rewarding diagnosing and
treating these animals to the best of
our ability and providing them with a
level of kindness and care they often
haven’t experienced before. The SPCA
inspectors we deal with are a wonderful
bunch of passionate, gentle people who
are solely dedicated to helping improve
the lives of the animals in their care. We
examine sick and uplifted animals, provide
diagnostics such as xrays, blood testing
and ultrasounds where necessary and
we provide intensive care monitoring if
needed. Due to being open 7 days, the
weekends can often be busy checking out
SPCA patients and providing a treatment
plan.
We even see tortoises - here Kirsty is
performing a hind leg amputation
to save its life.
Steve and I are very proud to be
associated with the above organizations
and we have met some fabulous people
along the way, who all share our views
that a pets’ life is just as important as our
own, and these special furry friends of ours
should be treated and cared for exactly
the same. We are all headed in the same
direction whereby we want to decrease
animal abuse and abandonment by way of
providing the correct education to people,
care that is affordable and showing respect
and kindness to everyone, regardless of
where they come from. Everyone does
deserve the love and companionship of
owning a pet but it’s not a decision to be
taken lightly and the correct advice and
education from us as health professionals is
vitally important for a successful outcome.

Overflowing bins ‘frustrate’
•From page 1
Mr Adams said just
like the Sumner beaches,
the “elephant” park is
used more frequently in
summer and the bins are
overflowing every week.
Saturday and Sundays
nights are the worst before
the bin is cleared on Monday
morning, Mr Adams
said. He said the windy
summer has meant litter
has blown around the park.
“When they clear it,
they only pick up rubbish
around the bin. It can go for
miles if it’s really blowing.”
City council operations
manager neighbourhood
and sports parks Al Hardy
said the number of times
the three bins at the park
are cleared was increased
to four times a week over
summer.
“A programme for regular
visits is put in place. Where
a call is received outside
what is planned, contractors
will then organise to
empty the bins concerned.”
But Mr Adams said that
is not enough.
He has contacted the city
council on multiple occasions

and its Snap Send Solve app

to report overflowing bins
in the park.
Mr Hardy said the city
council had received five
complaints about overflowing
bins in the last year.
Mr Adams said it was
not “rocket science” to see
that the bins needed to be
bigger. He said he spoke
to someone from the city
council parks team about
the idea. “They assured
me it would be done.” But
Mr Hardy said there was
no report of a request for
larger bins. “Just reports of
overflowing bins.”

of the Northern Corridor and
Cranford St upgrade are appropriately
managed and assess
the existence, nature and extent
of increased traffic on streets
adjoining Cranford St,” Ms Ellis
said.
A management plan was

Ms Ellis said he was chosen

because he was not conflicted in
terms of any previous involvement
of the project or with
competing projects in the area.
“This work, informed by
traffic modelling, will be crossreferenced
to traffic counts and
a monitoring regime,” Ms Ellis
said.
The city council will also
begin engaging with “key stakeholders”
and the local community

Trust building
relocated
• By Sophie Cornish
A NEW building for the Shirley
Community Trust was relocated
from St Albans to MacFarlane
Park yesterday.
The building, which has a large
meeting room, two offices, a
kitchen and toilets, was donated
to the city by the Lions Clubs
International Foundation following
the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
It was previously used as
the St Albans Community Centre
on Colombo St.
There were some delays to the
process as the city council initially
estimated the cost to relocate
the building would be $100,000.
However, more detailed planning
revealed it would cost $225,000.
The initial $100,000 was approved
through the city council’s
Annual Plan. An additional
$125,000 was fast tracked for the
move.
The trust has been mainly operating
out of a small building at
MacFarlane Park for 16 years.
Trust manager Jane Mitchell
said the new building is a “very
exciting” prospect.
“We will still be operating
out of the smaller building, but
now there will be room for other
things to happen,” Mrs Mitchell
said.
SALLY MCPHERSON loves all
things equine.
Now the 17-year-old Rangi
Ruru Girls’ School student has
been named in the New Zealand
Team for the American Quarter
Horse Youth World Cup in
Bryan, Texas.
But don’t get it confused with
rodeo.
Think dressage with a western
twist, that’s american quarter
horse, Sally said.
“It’s not rodeo. “It’s very precise
and technical. But it’s also
very colourful and sparkly unlike
the more demure dressage,”
she said.
Sally said there’s a fair bit of
bling involved in the outfits
which are quite heavy from all
the rhinestones.
“Some jackets and tops can
cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Many are specially made for the
competitor and the horses are
also bedazzled,” she said.
Sally and her team will head to
the United States in June to compete
for medals in cutting, reining,
horsemanship, ranch riding,
trail, western riding, hunt seat
equitation, hunter under saddle
and showmanship.
She will have a horse provided
by the organisers.
She’s the only Christchurch
member of the youth team and
Sally said it’s the realisation of a
goal she set herself many years
ago.
“I have been working towards
this for a long time,” she said.
“My aim is to learn as much
as I can and be proud of my
achievements. It’ll be the best experience
and biggest opportunity
yet, to meet others and compete
on the international stage.”

concerns for safety of motorists
and pedestrians from a number
of locals when turning right off
Fraser St onto Cranford St.
The New Zealand
Transport
Agency was lobbied
by the city
council to install
the new traffic
islands, with
work finishing
Emma Norish
on Friday.
“The new traffic
islands will
make turning right out of Fraser
St easier and safer by ensuring
Cranford St Drivers don’t enter
the right hand lane too soon or
use the right turn lane as a short
cut to Main North Rd,” a letter to
residents from NZTA said.
The islands will guide vehicles
from Fraser St into the correct
lane and ensure drivers on Cranford
St don’t stray into the right
lane.
“This new layout should make
this intersection easier and safer
to use,” the letter said.
SAFE: Two new traffic islands have been
installed on Cranford St.

Ms Norrish said traffic flow
onto Fraser St had increased since
work began on the Northern Corridor.
“So I’m glad these concerns
are being addressed,” she said.

TARGET: 21 Francis Ave is abandoned and overgrown with
vegetation.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
A week after Nor’West
News reported the
Papanui-Innes Community
Board is targeting
abandoned and vacant
properties in the area
that could be targeted
by vandals, a reader
responded reporting
another property at 21
Francis Ave in St Albans
Christine Abbasi –There is
a property in Francis Ave, the
house numbers on either side of
it are 19 and 25 so am unsure of
its correct number. It appears
to be on a single section. It
is single-storey with garden
vegetation now all over it. Last
winter there was a derelict car
parked beside it but that is now
totally covered in vegetation
too. It is sad as the rest of the
houses in the street are well
cared for. I look forward to
hearing of the progress. Do
these owners pay rates? If not
the city council should be able
to move them on.
Other readers respond to
the article
Deborah Jackson – I walk
past this [258 Papanui Rd] every
day. It’s disgusting and probably
full of breeding rodents – a poor
look for our city indeed.
Chrissi Tukaki – Simple
answer is land-banking
landlords.

History group revived
St Albans
History Group
chairman
David Spear
writes
about the
regeneration
of the group
following the earthquakes
The St Albans History Group
grew out of a bus trip around the
suburb in 1998 organised by the
late Muriel Soanes.
She had been a leader in the
movement to oppose the planned
motorway through the area and
had an extensive knowledge of
the history of the suburb.
Mrs Soanes lived in St Albans
all her life and, in fact, at that
time was living in the house in
which she was born some 100
years earlier.
A number of those who enjoyed
the bus trip and were interested
in the history experience felt that
there was a need to establish a
history group in the area.
A public meeting was called
and from a considerable attendance,
a small committee was
formed and a group of interested
members began meeting on a
monthly basis.
Initially these meetings were
held in private homes, but once
the St Albans Resource Centre
at the former St Albans library
came into being, we used this as
a base.
Of course members aged, they
moved from the district and
numbers declined.
The earthquakes shook the
life out of much of our work and
regular meetings ceased.
The remaining members kept
in touch and did their best to not
only record the history of the
area, publish articles of general
interest in the community news,
and act as a point of reference for
those wishing to preserve the history
of the suburb.
More recently, meetings have
been revived and the group again
meets monthly to discuss recent
discoveries and share knowledge
of the area.
The book Swamp to Suburb
TIME: The St Albans History Group meets monthly to share
stories about the area.
published in 1989 by the Federation
of University Women
provides a wealth of information
and it has always been our aim
to extend this information and
record further topics not fully
covered.
Over the years topics researched
have included notable
identities, local natural features,
prominent buildings and local
industries.News sheets have been
produced recording the information
and they have provided the
basis for articles in the community
news.
The group had hoped to
obtain copies of photos of early
St Albans but these have proved
elusive. A collection of portraits
of the mayors of the borough
remains incomplete with two also
eluding us.
Archaeology is rather thin on,
or rather under the ground, in St
Albans. In general terms the area
has been subjected to not much
over 160 years of human activity.
Unlike the United Kingdom,
NOSTALGIA: Papanui Rd at
St Albans in 1906. PHOTO:

LIBRARIES
we don’t have layers of Stone
Age, Iron Age, Roman, Medieval
and Tudor occupation evident in
excavations.
However, the history of St Albans
is rich in human affairs.
The people who lived there and
the many who still do, provide an
insight into what was going on in
our city.
Recent natural disasters may
have damaged and destroyed
buildings and we may have lost
forever the bricks and mortar but
the history of St Albans remains
intact. The history of the area is
the story of the residents.

reached through Sandra
Wilson at the temporary
Community Centre at the
St Albans Tennis Club in
Dover St or by email to

Chairman of the Papanui
Heritage Group Murray
Williams writes about
the establishment of the
Papanui Primary School
dental clinic
The first official indicator of
the sorry state of New Zealanders’
dental health was revealed
when a significant number of
men were turned down for
military service in World War 1
because of the poor condition of
their teeth.
Eventually the Government
realised that any improvement
would have to start with better
care of children’s teeth and in
1921 a commitment was made to
provide for Government funding
of the training of young women
as dental nurses who then were
deemed competent to care for
primary school children’s teeth
The Papanui School clinic was
opened in May 1930 and the services
of the dental nurse were to
be shared with Waimairi School.
Parents were obviously keen
to have their children’s dental
needs attended to but were not
impressed when it was revealed
that they were expected to pay
some of the expenses.
In October 1933, the Papanui
School committee determined
that parents would be charged
2/6 (25 cents) per child or five
shillings (50 cents) per family as
an annual levy.
It was pointed out that this was
still much cheaper that the cost
of private dental care.
Parents who could not afford

Primary
School
dental
clinic
would
have
looked
like.
Murder house memories
the school charge could apply
to the school committee to have
the fees waived but by 1935 even
better-off parents were refusing
to pay the charge.
In 1934, the Waimairi County
Council had offered to supply
electric power to the clinic at no
cost to the school, thus reducing
running expenses.
In August 1934, the Papanui
school dental nurse offered an
annual prize to the child with
the cleanest teeth but even this
inducement probably did little
to change juvenile attitudes to
attending the ‘murder house.’
It was not unknown for pupils
summoned for their turn in the
chair to take an unscheduled but
speedy trip home.
Instruments were sterilised
with boiling water. Wall posters
exhorted children to clean their
teeth regularly. The chair was
wooden with little scope for adjustment
for patient comfort.
However, the most feared feature
was the drill operated by the
nurse via a foot-operated treadle,
thus the speed of the procedure
was a direct function of the
energy applied.
By the end of the day a weary
nurse could have inadvertently
slowed the drill to create an even
more painful experience for the
young patient undergoing preparation
for a filling.

Dance sport medals for teacher
• By Andrew King
ST MARGARET’S College
dance teacher Stacy Goldsworthy
helped a number of teams win
medals at the New Zealand
Masters Games in dance sport.
The 36-year-old was involved
with three teams that one gold,
silver and bronze during the
competition held on Waitangi
weekend in Dunedin.
She was one of 10 in a formation
team who won gold, which
requires the dancers to make as
many different formations as they
can in three-and-a-half minutes
while facing the four sets of
judges at all times.
The team was made up of Molly
Chapman, Rebecca Abrahams,
Sarah-Jane Haywood, Kate Podmore,
Sarah Van Hoof, Hayley
Toso, Caroline Stevenson, Kay
McDonald and Sue Gledhill.
Goldsworthy then took part
in a quartet, which also featured
Rebecca Abraham, Sarah-Jane
Haywood and Kate Podmore
tap dancing, and was awarded a
silver medal.
“In my whole dancing career
of about 33 years it was the most
fun I have had on stage. For some

reason, it was such a highlight to
dance with them,” she said.
She also received a bronze
medal for another formation routine
with a separate team made
up of Toso, Van Hoof, Chapman,
McDonald and Stevenson.
Goldsworthy got into dance
when she was three-years-old,
following in her mother tap
dancing footsteps.
Now she teaches dance at St
Margaret’s but said her passion is
about winning medals.
“I just love it, I love performing
and being on stage in a costume,
and winning medals,” she said.

ST ANDREW’S has the third
best beach volleyball junior girls
pair in the country.
Marijke Hinton and Kate Allen
took bronze in the division
one competition of the New
Zealand secondary school beach
championships at Mt Maunganui.
It was a tough competition for
the year 11 students, who had to
battle strong North Island teams
and a king tide which washed the
court away preventing play for
about an hour on day one.
THe pair made the quarterfinals
and beat Bethlehem 2-1
before losing in the semi-final to
Auckland’s Long Bay College 1-2.
They bounced back to take
bronze with a win over Marlborough
Girls’ 2-0.

Mikaele Tuu’u said it was a fantastic
result and is promising for

“I think it will be one of the
most competitive indoors season
I have seen in a while,” he said.
Burnside High’s Libby Collett
and Talitha Bootsma placed
second in the division two girls
section with coach Sam Ryburn,
known as ‘Mr Volleyball’ saying
he believes there is some really
good competition between the
Christchurch schools now.
“Looking ahead to the indoor
season I think our [Burnside’s]
time may have come. We have
had good success in the past but
the competition is looking very
strong this year,” he said.
Division one was won by
Otumoetai College and Long

of landowners, Christchurch City Council,
Department of Conservation, Environment
Canterbury, and BPCT for the protection of a
variety of endemic, threatened, and iconic species
such as the endemic white-flippered little blue
penguin, the only titi (sooty shearwater) colony
in Canterbury, and yellow-eyed penguin at their
northern breeding range. jewelled gecko, spotted
skink, the Banks Peninsula tree weta and Akaroa daisy (both
found only on the Wildside). The Wildside covers 13,500ha and
focuses on habitat protection, with 25% of the Wildside held in
private or public reserve, and predator control, with over 700
predator traps controlling feral cats, ferrets, stoats, weasels,
and possums used in this extensive trapping programme.
The Tui Project
The Banks Peninsula Tui Restoration group translocated a
total of 72 tui from Maud Island, Marlborough Sounds to
Hinewai Reserve, Banks Peninsula in 2009 and 2010. This
NatureWatchNZ project has been set up to capture the many
observations of tui contributed by people all over Banks
Peninsula and Christchurch since the first release. The vast
majority of observations in the project are made by a small
team of volunteers, who have spent thousands of hours
observing, recording and managing this information over the
last nine years.

Reverse the signs of aging naturally with the
newest LED Facial Device to New Zealand!
As summer comes to a close, your skin,
especially your face needs hydration and
rejuvenation. Coming off the heat wave
Christchurch has been experiencing, the
elasticity in your skin will have shrivelled
after being exposed to the drying, aging
outdoor elements.
Now there is a machine that is sweeping
the globe and has landed in Christchurch.
Experience the eleven beauty treatments
accomplished within one facial mask. LED
was invented by NASA as they were looking
for a light source to be able to grow plants
in space, from this they found that it had
amazing skin cell rejuvenation & it wasn’t
long before LED was used in hospitals
around the world.
People are experiencing the full facial
rejuvenating experience with the LED light
therapy with documented results in:
Anti-Ageing – Wrinkles, Age spots,
Scaring
Anti-Acne – Antibacterial, Reduces
inflammation
Cell Rejuvenation - Eczema
Reduce Redness – Rosacea, Sunburn
Even Skin Tones – Hyper-Pigmentation
Skin Booster – Collagen Rejuvenation
Skin Soothing – Psoriasis
Pain Blocker – Reduce swollen capillaries
Charmaine McFarlane has established a
new salon to accommodate her Aduro LED
light therapy equipment for a business that
runs parallel to her popular Sparklewhite
teeth-whitening programme.
Charmaine says the light therapy
encourages new cells to regenerate.
Depending on the particular skin condition
the client wants to treat, he or she will don
an Aduro LED face mask that emits light of
a particular colour.
“We cleanse, exfoliate, tone and apply a
serum to the skin before putting the client
under LED light,” Charmaine says.
“The bonus is with this salon LED light
therapy we can whiten your teeth at the
same time as you are having your facial”,
there is no other machine in the world that
can do this!”
