Shedding <strong>20</strong>kg for Coast to Coast<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
MIKE DAVIDSON lost almost <strong>20</strong>kg<br />
as he ran, cycled and kayaked more<br />
than 2500km in preparation for the<br />
Kathmandu Coast to Coast.<br />
It was the first time the city councillor<br />
for the Papanui Ward has competed<br />
in such a gruelling event, though<br />
Page 6 Page 7<br />
he said the Coast to Coast had always<br />
been on his “radar.”<br />
But he already has plans to shed<br />
more than an hour off his 16hr 41min<br />
time.<br />
“It’s always something I’ve wanted<br />
to tick off. As soon as I decided to do<br />
it, I had to change the way I ate, start<br />
exercising more,” he said.<br />
That was about three months ago,<br />
which Cr Davidson said didn’t give<br />
him long to train.<br />
“When daylight saving started, that’s<br />
when I started. It was hard to balance<br />
work and family life, so the Christmas<br />
period was good, that’s when I could<br />
really concentrate on training.”<br />

Public<br />
urged<br />
to fight<br />
proposed<br />
bus cuts<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
BUS USERS in Papanui are being<br />
urged to fight a proposed cut to two<br />
local routes.<br />
More than 110,000 patrons<br />
will be affected by Environment<br />
Canterbury’s draft Long Term Plan<br />
proposal to cut six of the city’s lowest<br />
performing bus routes including<br />
two from Papanui – the 107 Styx<br />
Mill to Northlands and the 108<br />
Casebrook to Northlands.<br />
But city councillor Mike<br />
Davidson is calling on people to<br />
submit on the plan, which opens<br />
for feedback on Monday, in a bid to<br />
keep the bus routes.<br />
“I urge people to submit on<br />
ECan’s draft Long Term Plan and<br />
ask that they retain these bus<br />
routes,” he said.<br />
ECan’s senior manager public<br />
transport Stewart Gibbon said there<br />
are no services that cover the same<br />
routes, which carried a combined<br />
total of 110,664 in the last financial<br />
year.<br />
“At this stage, there are no<br />
alternative services proposed,” Mr<br />
Gibbon said.<br />
Cr Davidson said: “It’s not good<br />
enough,” that ECan hasn’t given<br />
residents any alternatives.<br />
“It’s disappointing to see it’s the<br />
only option being put forward,” he<br />
said. •Turn to page 4<br />

THERE’S ONLY one way to stop<br />
Environment Canterbury cutting bus<br />
services in Papanui: People power.<br />
And that is what local city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson is calling on as he prepares<br />
to fight the change that could affect more<br />
than 100,000 commuters. Submissions on ECan’s plan and the<br />
axeing of other bus routes across Christchurch, open on Monday.<br />
If there is overwhelming support for the routes to stay, ECan<br />
will be duty bound to keep them. It’s called democracy. And we<br />
still live in a democratic society. Submissions open on Monday.<br />

And on another Mike Davidson note (also page 1), well done<br />
for completing the Coast to Coast, and losing about <strong>20</strong>kg getting<br />
there.<br />

Student to take on Olympic champ<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
USAIN BOLT once raced<br />
a cheetah and lost by four<br />
seconds.<br />
Now another iconic race is set<br />
to take place as a Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School rower will go<br />
head to head against two-time<br />
Olympic gold medallist Eric<br />
Murray in an erg challenge.<br />
The student, who is yet to<br />
be chosen, will have to be the<br />
school’s best as Murray holds<br />
the world record on a rowing<br />
machine of 18,728m in an hour.<br />
Murray will take on the<br />
student over 500m at CBHS on<br />
March 1.<br />
With Maadi Cup on March<br />
19-24, the school’s rowing teams<br />
have organised the event as a<br />
fundraiser to help get them to<br />
the regatta at Lake Ruataniwha,<br />
Twizel.<br />
Attendees will be able to guess<br />
how close the CBHS rower can<br />
get to Murray’s time, with a<br />
prize going to the person with<br />
the closest guess.<br />
Organiser Marco Woelders<br />
said with the students and parents<br />
living and breathing rowing<br />
over the last few months, everyone<br />
is looking forward to the<br />
evening with one of the world’s<br />
best. “This guy is a legend,” Mr<br />
PHOTO: RICARDO DE SOUSA<br />
Woelders said. “It’s always inspirational<br />
to hear from someone<br />
who has achieved an incredible<br />
amount with such dedication<br />
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: As part of a fundraising initiative by<br />
CBHS rowing teams to get to the Maadi Cup next month, a<br />
student will race two-time Olympic rowing gold medallist<br />
Eric Murray.<br />
and focus.” Murray’s first Maadi<br />
Cup was with Pukekohe High<br />
School in 1997. But it wasn’t<br />
until 1999 that he was part of<br />
the winning under-17 quad at<br />
the regatta.<br />
He won his first world championship<br />
medal as a member of<br />
the national coxless four at the<br />
<strong>20</strong>07 World Rowing Championships,<br />
where he met Hamish<br />
Bond.<br />
The coxless pair then went on<br />
to win three world championships,<br />
two Olympic golds and a<br />
couple of Halberg awards.<br />
Murray will spend some<br />
time fielding questions from<br />
the crowd while meeting and<br />
chatting with audience members<br />
throughout the evening.<br />
“We will also name the two<br />
newest Laszlo boats joining<br />
our fleet ready for racing at the<br />
South Island secondary schools<br />
rowing championships and<br />
Maadi Cup this year,” Mr Woelders<br />
said.<br />
Tickets for the race can be<br />
purchased for $45 from the<br />
CBHS office on Straven Rd, or<br />

TRAINING: Mike Davidson lost<br />
almost <strong>20</strong>kg during training for<br />
the Kathmandu Coast to Coast.<br />
•From page 1<br />
It was a matter of slowly introducing<br />
more fitness into his<br />
regime, which built up a pace, he<br />
said.<br />
Training included daily runs,<br />
cycles and the odd hike through<br />
Goat Pass and Mt Herbert – he<br />
clocked up more than 2500km<br />
before the 243km race.<br />
Cr Davidson has been an avid<br />
cyclist for a while now. Though,<br />
he’s not too fond of running,<br />
which made the hill run through<br />
Goat Pass during the Coast to<br />
Coast more than a challenge.<br />
“I’ve never been a great fan of<br />
running, just a bit around Hagley<br />
Park. I’ve played rugby all my life,<br />
my knees aren’t great,” he said.<br />
Though Cr Davidson admits he<br />
is a naturally competitive person,<br />
he said he said he “wasn’t happy”<br />
with his time during the run.<br />
“I was in fourth place for my<br />
age group when I went into the<br />
run, but then I slipped right<br />
back,” he said.<br />
“It makes me realise with a few<br />
little tweaks, I could get there . . .<br />
I want to knock off another hour<br />
or an hour and a half.”<br />
Cr Davidson said the mental<br />
and physical challenges were<br />
worth it for the “spectacular”<br />
scenery along the race.<br />
“The kayak through the Waimakariri<br />
was incredible. I’ve not<br />
been through it before,” he said.<br />
“It was my favourite part. 67km<br />
is a long way on a slow kayak,<br />
but you get to take in some of the<br />
amazing scenery.”<br />
However, nothing could quite<br />
top the feeling of running up<br />
the sandy dunes and onto New<br />
Brighton beach.<br />
“Since then I’ve done a little<br />
bit of indulging. I’ve got a sweet<br />
tooth,” he said.<br />
But with Le Race and the<br />
Christchurch Marathon next on<br />
his list, training is already back<br />
on the programme.<br />

SERVICE: The public can give feedback on Environment<br />
Canterbury’s draft Long Term Plan to cut bus routes.<br />
Users urged to fight bus cuts<br />
•From page 1<br />
“I have a lot of elderly people<br />
ringing me up saying they’re<br />
struggling to use the bus system<br />
as it is, that’s only going to get<br />
worse.”<br />
The routes are proposed to<br />
be cut bid to plug a $4 million<br />
shortfall in ECan’s public transport<br />
finance.<br />
Said the draft plan: “We recognise<br />
that in any scenario there<br />
will be people affected by the<br />
proposed changes. We are looking<br />
for the right balance so that<br />
we can maintain a sustainable<br />
service for the majority of users<br />
at the best value.”<br />
The reason for the cuts is<br />
largely due to patronage across<br />
the city still only reaching 80 per<br />
cent pre-earthquake standards.<br />
But Cr Davidson said the<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
routes are an “essential social<br />
service” for people who have<br />
no other means of travel that<br />
should not have to rely on “fare<br />
box recovery” to survive.<br />
“I just find it not good enough<br />
that ECan hasn’t told residents<br />
how much it would cost to keep<br />
the routes.”<br />
He said the focus seemed to<br />
people on people coming in<br />
from out of town, not Christchurch<br />
residents who pay ECan<br />
rates as well.<br />
The proposal will be open for<br />
feedback on www.ecan.govt.nz<br />
from Monday until March 26.<br />

Northcote Rd drivers ticketed<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A SPEED camera on Northcote<br />
Rd dished out more than twothirds<br />
of the speeding tickets in<br />
Canterbury on New Year’s Day.<br />
Data released to Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong> under the Official Information<br />
Act<br />
shows on New<br />
Year’s Day 369<br />
vehicles were<br />
caught speeding<br />
across the<br />
region.<br />
The most<br />
Al Stewart<br />
were from the<br />
speed camera<br />
on Northcote Rd where 239 tickets<br />
were sent to motorists.<br />
Another 59 were caught on<br />
Main North Rd in Papanui.<br />
The other 71 tickets were<br />
handed out with 35 on State<br />
Highway 80 at Pukaki, and 21 on<br />
State Highway 7 at Waipara.<br />
Eight were caught on State<br />
Highway 7 at Waikari, and five<br />
on State Highway 1 at Saltwater<br />
Creek.<br />
The data does not include<br />
speeding tickets issued by police<br />
officers on specific roads because<br />
the location detail on those tickets<br />
varied too much.<br />
On New Year’s Day last year,<br />
no vehicles were caught speeding<br />
by cameras.<br />
CAUGHT: Two thirds of speeding tickets on New Year’s Day<br />
were from a camera on Northcote Rd.<br />
However, 4513 vehicles were<br />
caught speeding by cameras<br />
throughout January that year,<br />
with 758 on Harewood Rd<br />
alone.<br />
On Christmas Day, the speed<br />
cameras deployed did not catch<br />
any vehicles speeding.<br />
That compared with 50<br />
speeding tickets being issued<br />
after drivers were caught by<br />
cameras on the same day in<br />
<strong>20</strong>16.<br />
Canterbury Road Policing<br />
manager Inspector Al Stewart<br />
said speed was a concern as<br />
an “aggravating factor” in any<br />
crash, along with people not<br />
wearing seat belts.<br />
Inspector Stewart said on<br />
Christmas, Boxing and New<br />
Year’s days there was lower volumes<br />
of traffic as families went<br />
on holiday.<br />
He said speed cameras moved<br />
about every two hours, based on<br />
risk.<br />
“It’s not rocket science – the<br />
faster you go, the bigger the mess<br />
when you make a mistake and<br />
crash.”<br />

VEHICLE SPEED on Trafalgar St<br />
may be lowered to 30km/h.<br />
The city council is seeking feedback<br />
on a proposal that would<br />
see the limit lowered along the St<br />
Albans Trafalgar St section of the<br />
Papanui Parallel cycleway.<br />
The cycleway, which extends<br />
from Bealey Ave to Sawyers<br />
Arms Rd, is a mix of separated<br />
cycleway and shared spaces – on<br />
Trafalgar St cyclists and cars<br />
share the road.<br />
“In addition there is a school<br />
crossing adjacent to Sheppard<br />
Pl and a pre-school on Trafalgar<br />
St, so there is a mix of both traffic<br />
and pedestrian activity along the<br />
street,” a city council report said.<br />
It said because Trafalgar St<br />
Local<br />
<strong>News</strong><br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
LOWER: The<br />
speed limit<br />
on Trafalgar<br />
St may be<br />
dropped to<br />
30km/h to<br />
improve the<br />
safety of<br />
cyclists on<br />
the Papanui<br />
Parallel. <br />
Bid to lower speed limit<br />
is narrower than a typical road<br />
corridor, speeds need to be kept<br />
lower due to the mixed users in a<br />
narrow width.<br />
“To ensure safety with the<br />
mixture of users of the street, a<br />
30km/h speed limit will ensure<br />
that vehicles are maintaining a<br />
speed that allows them to stop if<br />
needed for oncoming vehicles, or<br />
children crossing the road unexpectedly.”<br />
The report said it will also<br />
create a safe speed for motorists<br />
and cyclists to share the road.<br />
“The existing speed humps<br />
reduce vehicle speeds so the proposed<br />
30km/h restriction will not<br />
change the existing behaviour for<br />
the majority of motorists but it<br />
does signal to drivers that it is a<br />
slow speed zone.”<br />

Uncanny twist to<br />
helping sick man<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE BELFAST Community<br />
Network’s year has got off to a<br />
good start. Staff helped save a<br />
life.<br />
On a day trip taking children<br />
for a swim at Cass Bay,<br />
community development<br />
co-ordinators helped an elderly<br />
woman who was on the phone<br />
to St John, she was trying to get<br />
help for her husband who was<br />

“There was a man who had<br />
got himself into a bit of trouble,<br />
he was bent over . . . he had all<br />
the signs of having a heart attack,”<br />
she said.<br />
The man was not having a<br />
heart attack, but had taken an<br />
antihistamine that morning,<br />
which was reacting poorly with<br />
his heart medication.<br />
“We got him into the recovery<br />
position and between<br />
us, we supported him and<br />
supported his wife until the<br />
ambulance arrived.”<br />
In an uncanny twist, the<br />
man who needed help was a<br />
neighbour of network chairman<br />
Alan Hardy.<br />
It was not until he was out of<br />
hospital that the man remembered<br />
the logo of Ms Moir’s<br />
shirt, which said BCN, and<br />
tracked them down.<br />
“It’s such a small world, it just<br />
came up in conversation and<br />
Alan said the guy is actually<br />
my neighbour,” she said.<br />
But she said the main thing<br />
was hearing he was doing well.<br />

Virtual bid to get kids<br />
cycling to school<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A VIRTUAL cycling<br />
programme that would simulate<br />
a child’s journey to school is<br />
being investigated.<br />
A report about the possibility<br />
of developing a virtual cycling<br />
programme was requested by<br />
the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board.<br />
City council acting operations<br />
manager transport Ryan<br />
Rolston said the city council<br />
is in the process of reviewing<br />
education options to support<br />
cycling to school.<br />
“As part of the review, we are<br />
also looking over any research<br />
available on virtual reality as an<br />
educational tool for cycling,” he<br />
said.<br />
If the programme is developed,<br />
it would be the first of its<br />
kind in the country.<br />
Mr Rolston said the city<br />
council already has an extensive<br />
school cycling education programme<br />
already in place, Cycle<br />
Safe and a virtual simulation<br />
RIDE: The<br />
city council is<br />
investigating<br />
a virtual<br />
way to<br />
encourage<br />
children<br />
to cycle to<br />
school.<br />
is not currently part of the National<br />
Cycling Education System<br />
the city council is part of.<br />
The staff report will go back to<br />
the board at its next meeting on<br />
March 9. It will include costs to<br />
implement the project and how<br />
it could introduce children to<br />
the cycling journey to school.<br />
City councillor Mike Davidson<br />
said the idea came out of a<br />
cycling expo during ‘Biketober’<br />
last October.<br />
The board requested the<br />
information following a bid<br />
from Paparoa Street School to<br />
ease congestion through narrow<br />
streets around the area.<br />
Instead of installing more<br />
traffic calming measures, the<br />
board decided to investigate the<br />
simulation possibility, which<br />
would then be promoted to<br />
Paparoa Street School.<br />
Mr Rolston said the city<br />
council will be working with the<br />
school on how it can support its<br />
specific needs as a city council<br />
staff memo said traffic easement<br />
options were not suitable.<br />

Principal’s exciting opportunity<br />
Justin<br />
Perriam<br />
has just<br />
stepped<br />
into his<br />
new role as<br />
Northcote<br />
School<br />
principal.<br />
He writes<br />
an introduction to the local<br />
community and some of the<br />
things he wants to tackle in<br />
the job<br />
Kia ora, talofa lava, hello. My<br />
name is Justin Perriam and I am<br />
extremely proud to introduce<br />
myself as the new principal of<br />
Northcote School.<br />
For me, this is a very exciting<br />
opportunity. I live in the local<br />
community, my daughters attend<br />
local schools and I relish the<br />
opportunity to help play a role<br />
in nurturing our tamariki by<br />
installing values and the learning<br />
they will need to be successful<br />
and happy adults.<br />
Adults who positively<br />
contribute to their community<br />
and the wider world around<br />
us. I have been teaching for <strong>20</strong><br />
years, both in Christchurch and<br />
overseas, and in that time have<br />
learnt so much about what makes<br />
a child not just learn but thrive.<br />
At Northcote we’re really proud<br />
of our little school and what we<br />
can offer our families who live in<br />
our community.<br />
Our pupils are proud to<br />
attend Northcote School and,<br />
when asked, identified so many<br />
Readers respond to last<br />
week’s article regarding<br />
overflowing rubbish in<br />
Bishopdale Park<br />
Julier Roberts-Bye – I am<br />
also a resident of Leacroft St. The<br />
extra rubbish bins were removed<br />
because of the people emptying<br />
household rubbish in them. The<br />
city council gave myself and my<br />
neighbour extra rubbish bags.<br />
We would empty the bins and<br />
give picnickers a bag to put the<br />
rubbish in. But my health has<br />
deteriorated and we no longer get<br />
bags given to us. This problem<br />
has been around for a while.<br />
positives about being a Northcote<br />
pupil.<br />
Some of these were having<br />
our own heated swimming pool,<br />
caring teachers and learning<br />
assistants, kapa haka, learning<br />
being fun and educational,<br />
going on school camp to Living<br />
Springs, having a big playground<br />
and participating in activities<br />
like ‘dancing like the stars’ and<br />
gardening competitions.<br />
We also have extremely<br />
exciting changes coming up, with<br />
community consultation around<br />
the design of our future school<br />
beginning later this year.<br />
This will involve the<br />
redevelopment of our school<br />
curriculum, as well as the<br />
refurbishment of our classroom<br />
spaces.<br />
They cut back emptying the bins<br />
to twice a week.<br />
Readers also<br />
respond to the<br />
article regarding<br />
potholes in the<br />
area<br />
Graham<br />
Weatherby – I<br />
read the article in he Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong>, <strong>February</strong> 3. I am always<br />
reporting cracked footpaths and<br />
potholed roads which seem to<br />
take ages to be repaired. Sawyers<br />
Arms Rd is particularly bad<br />
being a route for buses and heavy<br />
now bigger than ever<br />
Our new look Northcote is set<br />
to wow.<br />
Northcote staff are a group<br />
of extremely dedicated, valued<br />
people who work hard to provide<br />
quality education and care for all<br />
of our students.<br />
As a school we provide our<br />
students with stationery, have<br />
smaller class sizes, we are<br />
involved with the Fonterra Milk<br />
in Schools, Kids Can and the<br />
Fruit in Schools programme. We<br />
have a close relationship with the<br />
Belfast Community Network and<br />
other local organisations.<br />
So my request to you all, visit<br />
your local schools when making<br />
decisions about schooling for<br />
your child. Find out how they can<br />
best meet the needs of your child.<br />
I welcome inquiries from you –<br />
our community and look forward<br />
to working with you all to help<br />
further develop our school and<br />
our future.<br />

6 lamb loin chops<br />
2 red onions, freshly sliced<br />
2 cm root ginger, grated<br />
4 garlic cloves<br />
1 red chilli, finely chopped<br />
1 tbsp ras el hanout spice mix<br />
5 tomatoes<br />
800g kumara<br />
2 tbsp lemon juice<br />
1 tbsp soy sauce<br />
1 tbsp honey<br />
1 cinnamon stick<br />
500g rice<br />
1 handful coriander leaves<br />
CHICKEN WITH<br />
NECTARINES<br />
Ingredients<br />
1kg chicken breast, cut into<br />
generous bite-sized pieces<br />
25g butter<br />
1 cup chicken stock<br />
½ tsp fresh thyme, finely<br />
chopped<br />
½ tsp fresh rosemary, finely<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp curry powder, mild<br />
1 tbsp cornflour, or arrowroot<br />
dissolved in 2 tablespoons of<br />
cold water<br />
½ cup cashew nuts, chopped<br />
3 nectarines, peeled, sliced<br />
1 pinch salt and pepper<br />
Directions<br />
Melt the butter and brown the<br />
chicken pieces.<br />
Add the chicken stock and<br />
the herbs and poach the<br />
chicken gently until cooked. Set<br />
aside.<br />
Add the curry powder and the<br />
dissolved cornflour to the liquid<br />
and warm to thicken.<br />
Add the nectarine slices and<br />
the chicken pieces to the sauce<br />
to warm through.<br />
Season with the salt and<br />
pepper.<br />
Finish with a squeeze of fresh<br />
lime or lemon to zing up the<br />
flavours.<br />
Garnish with the cashews.<br />
Instructions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
On an element heat the olive oil<br />
in a flameproof casserole dish<br />
over a medium-high heat. Season<br />
the lamb chops liberally with salt<br />
and pepper, and brown on both<br />
sides. Remove the chops and set<br />
aside.<br />
Drain off all but one tbsp of<br />
oil from the casserole dish and<br />
reduce the heat to medium. Add<br />
the onions and cook, stirring,<br />
until softened, about 5min. Add<br />
ginger, garlic, chilli and ras al<br />
hanout, and stir for a couple of<br />
minutes until fragrant. Add the<br />
tomatoes and stir over the heat<br />
for another 5min.<br />
Add the browned lamp chops,<br />
kumara, lemon juice, soy sauce,<br />
honey and cinnamon. Pour in<br />
about 400ml water, enough to<br />
cover the chops. Put the lid on<br />
and cook in the oven for two<br />
hours.<br />
Uncover and skim off any<br />
excess fat from the surface. If the<br />
sauce is too thin, reduce over<br />
a medium-high heat for a few<br />
minutes. Adjust the seasoning -<br />
you may need an extra squeeze<br />
of lemon juice. Serve with<br />
steamed rice and some coriander<br />
leaves.<br />

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />
could it be mainly my muscles?<br />
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with<br />
a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and<br />
senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />
that a major part of the pain could be due<br />
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />
for the pain may be the muscles around<br />
the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />
blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />
near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />
(especially at night in bed).<br />
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />
old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />
through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />
was walking with her stick but without the<br />
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />
one of the factors that made her muscles<br />
spasm but the other was that older people<br />
move less and the flexed position the hip<br />
is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />
although the client was 89 and could have<br />
been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />
pain, she made a difference to her health<br />
and wellbeing.<br />
The same lack of movement can be the<br />
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />
pain and the same few treatments could<br />
make a huge difference for you.<br />
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />
The client also gets a home exercise<br />
program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />
the joint, strengthen the important core<br />
muscles and increase general strength and<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />
that stretches the joint in all directions<br />
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />
In many cases having the muscles<br />
released and being taught how to maintain<br />
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />
HIP PAIN<br />
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />
some maintenance therapy may be<br />
necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />
and, for older patients, better tolerated than<br />
surgery. In very few treatments the client<br />
will know if it is going to work for them or<br />
not, without financial commitment.<br />

‘Overwhelming support’ to extend dog park<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
SUPPORT IS mounting on a bid<br />
to extend The Groynes dog park.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board member<br />
Aaron Campbell said there had<br />
been “overwhelming support”<br />
of his proposal to extending the<br />
Johns Rd dog park from its users.<br />
Mr Campbell launched an online<br />
petition to add land left over<br />
from the Western Belfast Bypass<br />
development to the back of the<br />
dog park.<br />
It has received more than<br />
350 signatures and he has<br />
spent several afternoons at the<br />
park speaking with users and<br />
collecting signatures.<br />
“I’ve got about 100 signatures<br />
now and spoken to a couple of<br />
people at a time, so around 150<br />
people . . . only a handful weren’t<br />
interested,” he said.<br />
Mr Campbell said people from<br />
across the city would travel to use<br />
the dog park.<br />
“I spoke to people from Oxford,<br />
Rangiora, North Canterbury . . .<br />
but also Governors Bay and Mt<br />
Pleasant,” he said.<br />
It comes following a proposal,<br />
which would see a part of a 31ha<br />
empty lot leftover from the Western<br />
Belfast Bypass added to the<br />
Northwood dog park.<br />
Said Mr Campbell: “Ninetynine<br />
per cent of the infrastructure<br />
is in place, including suitable<br />
fencing for a dog park bordering<br />
the motorway bypass but there<br />
are no plans to utilise it. Allowing<br />
dogs and their owners in is a logical<br />
and cost-effective use of the<br />
space.”<br />
He launched his bid following<br />
frustration with the slow<br />
city council process and says he<br />
simply wants the public to take<br />
advantage of the space.<br />
“It’s a work in progress. There’s<br />
no long-term plan for the extension.<br />
But I’m trying to get permission<br />
to set up a poster and start<br />
getting feedback from users,” Mr<br />
Campbell said.<br />

Custom-fitted<br />
mouth guards<br />
Besides all their regular services associated with the<br />
making and repairing of dentures, Dentures Plus offers<br />
custom-fitted mouth guards direct to the public.<br />
Looking after one’s teeth is important,<br />
but Kiwi’s love of sports, and being<br />
involved in the physical contact that these<br />
activities can involve, can put our teeth<br />
and jaw in harm’s way! The solution is<br />
a custom-fitted mouth guard, and that’s<br />
where Dentures Plus comes in.<br />
Besides all their regular services<br />
associated with the making and repairing<br />
of dentures, this practice offers customfitted<br />
mouth guards direct to the<br />
public. Mouth guards are an essential<br />
part of playing sports – and becoming<br />
compulsory in more sports each year.<br />
“Not only do they help protect teeth, but<br />
they may also help limit concussion and<br />
jaw injuries.”<br />
Over Ryan’s career he has dealt with<br />
many of our top professional athletes in<br />
the custom moulding and fitting of mouth<br />
guards. Our mouth guards are made of<br />
multiple layers which absorb the impacts<br />
more effectively. “I like people to keep<br />
their teeth, especially children. That’s<br />
why we have a special offer for school<br />
age kids on our heat- moulded rubber<br />
mouth guards. These mouth guards are<br />
custom-made for each child and<br />
although children’s mouths and<br />
teeth are still developing, the<br />
mouth guard should last for a<br />
season”.<br />
There are just two appointments<br />
needed – the first to take a<br />
mould of the upper teeth and the<br />
second to check that the mouth<br />
guard is fitting properly and is<br />
comfortable. “We have a large<br />
range of colours and patterns to<br />
choose from, whether it’s your<br />
team colours or something to<br />
show your personality”.<br />
Dentures Plus is located at 396<br />
Innes Road. Phone (03) 385 5517.<br />
Open Monday – Thursday 8am –<br />
5pm, and on Friday 8am – 2pm.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Modern diet<br />
leads to illness!<br />
It’s not what you eat but what you absorb<br />
Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen<br />
& Shane noticed at the end of the <strong>20</strong>th<br />
century more & more of their patients<br />
were experiencing gut, bowel & digestive<br />
issues that were often leading to more<br />
serious chronic health conditions. Being<br />
Naturopaths they wanted to find what was<br />
going wrong & began extensive research.<br />
What they found was although their clients<br />
were generally eating good food they were<br />
not obtaining all the nutrients required<br />
for good health from this food. Further<br />
research showed one of the main problems<br />
was the digestive system, “it’s not what you<br />
eat but what you absorb.” Another wellknown<br />
problem is the soils the crops are<br />
grown in have been depleted of many trace<br />
elements & other nutrients that are known<br />
to be essential for good health & therefore<br />
the crops & food are also depleted. If we do<br />
not obtain all the nutrients we require the<br />
body will compensate to some degree but<br />
a lack of too many nutrients will eventually<br />
lead to health issues.<br />
Based on this they developed VITAL<br />
GREENS, a nutrient dense powdered<br />
formula that provides superior absorption<br />
as well as comprehensive nutrition. They<br />
decided on a powdered formula that<br />
could be made as a great tasting drink<br />
because liquid nutrition is the easiest<br />
way for the body to absorb nutrients<br />
especially if digestive issues are present.<br />
The formula provides 76 vital ingredients<br />
that work together in synergy optimising<br />
each other’s absorption & benefits. Vital<br />
Greens contains a carefully balanced blend<br />
of nutritionally rich greens, vegetables,<br />
fruits, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty<br />
acids, plant & herbal extracts, superfoods,<br />
powerful antioxidants, probiotics, essential<br />
amino acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a<br />
uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides<br />
superior nutrition to a multivitamin &<br />
anyone will benefit from it. It is designed to<br />
provide all the nutrients the body requires<br />
for good health. It is also ideal for those in<br />
poor health, those recovering from injury<br />
or sickness, children, athletes, poor eaters<br />
& the elderly. It is also suitable for people<br />
with dietary restrictions & is gluten, wheat<br />
& dairy free. Vital Greens will help remove<br />
toxic waste from the body while supporting<br />

Are you Magnesium<br />
deficient?<br />
Minerals are the building blocks of<br />
good health. Some minerals are only<br />
needed in trace amounts where others<br />
like magnesium are need in much larger<br />
amounts & on a regular basis to prevent<br />
deficiency & maintain optimum health. A<br />
large number of us do not obtain sufficient<br />
magnesium from our diet & may notice<br />
some of the common signs of deficiency.<br />
Some of the more common symptoms that<br />
may be caused by insufficient magnesium<br />
are: leg & muscle cramps, twitches, muscle<br />
pain, muscle fatigue & weakness, tremors<br />
of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor<br />
sleep, raised &/or unstable blood pressure,<br />
poor circulation, irregular heartbeat,<br />
shortness of breath, swallowing problems,<br />
dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation,<br />
irritability, seizures, poor concentration &<br />
many more.<br />
Although many young people now show<br />
signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms<br />
generally worsen as we age due to our<br />
digestive system being less efficient. Taking<br />
a magnesium supplement of sufficient<br />
strength may be a sensible option to top<br />
up our vital magnesium levels. Not all<br />
magnesium supplements however are<br />
well absorbed by everyone. Luckily a new<br />
marine sourced magnesium has been<br />
found that offers good levels of absorbable<br />
magnesium as well as many trace nutrients<br />
that are low in the diet but essential for<br />
good health.<br />

The Easter Story: Fact or Fable?<br />
Why was the long-promised Messiah Jesus brutally<br />
executed on a crude Roman Cross? What was the early<br />
apostles’ experience of Jesus post the Crucifixion?<br />
Was Jesus physically raised from the dead? These<br />
two seminal events of the Christian tradition will<br />
be examined in the light of the latest research and<br />
biblical scholarship, especially the Jesus Seminar.<br />
The Easter events, their place in history and their<br />
relevance for today will also be noted.<br />
It will be a six-week course of 2-hour sessions held<br />
on Thursday afternoons, 2pm – 4 pm, commencing<br />
on 8 March <strong>20</strong>18. The course will be facilitated by<br />
Charles Manning and Rev Rodney Routledge and be<br />
interactive in format.<br />
