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 />

Go to www.ecan.govt.nz and search for the link.<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 />

Councillor sheds the kilos<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 />

Now<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 />

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 />

and do not last.<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 />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<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 />

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample<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 />
