WIGRAM MP Megan Woods<br />

and Minister of Conservation<br />

Eugenie Sage are seeking<br />

options from government<br />

departments to help address<br />

quarrying issues in Templeton<br />

and Weedons.<br />

It comes after a meeting with<br />

residents last week.<br />

Dr Woods said she and Ms<br />

Sage will be seeking advice on<br />

a variety of options over the<br />

coming week.<br />

“Once we have received<br />

that advice we will update the<br />

residents,” she said.<br />

Hogan will not be developing<br />

another quarry in spite of<br />

speculation, 115ha in size, on<br />

Dawsons, Maddisons and Jones<br />

I WATCHED the closing holes of the<br />

Australian Women’s Golf Open in<br />

Adelaide on Sunday – from the couch.<br />

Women’s golf has gone ahead in leaps<br />

and bounds in recent years. The putting<br />

has got so much sharper and many players<br />

now can hit 300 yards off the tee.<br />

Burnside High student Juliana Hung (see page 1) is one of our<br />

most promising young players, tomorrow she steps out in the<br />

amateur Asia-Pacific championship in Singapore.<br />

Hung plays for Russley, and will have fellow Cantabrian<br />

Amelia Garvey, 17, as company in Singapore.<br />

The Asia-Pacific championship is a stepping stone for bigger<br />

things. A good tournament for Hung and Garvey will see them<br />

catch the attention of many.<br />

Call for pedestrian crossing<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

HALSWELL residents may<br />

soon be able to walk across<br />

Ensign St “safely” if a pharmacy<br />

owner’s bid for a pedestrian<br />

crossing gets across the line.<br />

Karen Frater is worried someone<br />

will get hurt crossing the<br />

street outside<br />

her Halswell<br />

Pharmacy due<br />

to speeding<br />

vehicles.<br />

“It is a<br />

50km/h road<br />

Mike Mora<br />

but everyone<br />

seems to be in<br />

a hurry these days, I think that<br />

happens on every road, but then<br />

you’ve got a narrow road and<br />

people who are not necessarily<br />

100 per cent well,” she said.<br />

Mrs Frater said many<br />

residents park at the Halswell<br />

Medical Centre and then cross<br />

the road to the pharmacy to get<br />

medication.<br />

She said the street kerb is<br />

“precarious for someone elderly<br />

or with a walking frame.”<br />

There has also been a few “near<br />

misses” and residents have seen<br />

a need for a crossing on the<br />

street.<br />

“So if we could get something<br />

that slows people down in this<br />

area, that would be a bit better,”<br />

Mrs Frater said. She is also<br />

worried about Oaklands School<br />

and The Lighthouse Pre-school<br />

pupils crossing the road.<br />

She expressed her concerns<br />

at a Halswell Residents’<br />

Association meeting last month.<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board chairman<br />

Mike Mora, member Ross<br />

McFarlane, and a city council<br />

staff member paid Mrs Frater<br />

a visit to see the problem firsthand.<br />

As a result, Mr Mora raised<br />

the issue at the community<br />

board meeting last week. The<br />

board asked city council staff<br />

to investigate a pedestrian<br />

crossing.<br />

Mrs Frater is pleased with the<br />

progress and the “proactive”<br />

approach from the residents’<br />

Bid to get treatment in Russia<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

UPPER Riccarton’s Keryn<br />

Ashworth needs $100,000 for a<br />

treatment which will enable her<br />

to “do the simple things” in life.<br />

The owner of Sharna’s Doggy<br />

Day Care and Dog Grooming<br />

in Hornby has suffered from<br />

multiple sclerosis for more than<br />

10 years.<br />

The disease, which damages<br />

nerve cells in the brain and<br />

spinal cord, causes symptoms<br />

such as numbness, impairment<br />

of speech and muscular coordination,<br />

blurred vision and<br />

severe fatigue.<br />

Ms Ashworth says a<br />

treatment available in Russia<br />

called hematopoietic stem cell<br />

transplantation could change<br />

her life.<br />

“The drugs I’m on at the<br />

moment cost the Government<br />

$50,000 a year. It’s ridiculous,<br />

absolutely ridiculous, and they’re<br />

not working,” she said.<br />

Ms Ashworth said, in the last<br />

five years and especially last year,<br />

her health has deteriorated.<br />

“There is just no drug and<br />

New Zealand doesn’t do HSCT.<br />

They’re not so much against it,<br />

they just want more proof of<br />

long-term results,” she said.<br />

She is planning to go to Russia<br />

CHANGE: Keryn Ashworth hopes a $100,000 treatment<br />

available in Russia will “halt” her multiple sclerosis.<br />

later in the year for treatment.<br />

Natasha Musson and Lisa<br />

Fisher, of Burwood, as well as<br />

Northwood’s Lauren Smith are<br />

also planning to travel to Russia<br />

for the treatment.<br />

The $100,000 will cover return<br />

airfares for herself and her son<br />

Scott, medical costs, accommodation,<br />

and food expenses for<br />

five to seven weeks.<br />

The 62-year-old first learned<br />

about the treatment from a<br />

television programme.<br />

“There’s just no help here [in<br />

New Zealand] basically. I think<br />

it’s the drug companies that<br />

dictate,” Ms Ashworth said.<br />

She said Russia has been<br />

preforming the treatment for 18<br />

years and has had “phenomenal<br />

results.”<br />

But it isn’t a magic cure. Ms<br />

Ashworth says it “halts” the<br />

disease and, in some cases, it can<br />

improve a person’s condition.<br />

And the process isn’t easy<br />

either – when she returns Ms<br />

Ashworth will spend 100 days in<br />

isolation.<br />

She’s both “excited” and “nervous”<br />

about the treatment, but is<br />

remaining realistic and “doesn’t<br />

expect to be able to run a marathon”<br />

afterwards.<br />

Ms Ashworth’s driving<br />

force “is her two gorgeous<br />

granddaughters who are a huge<br />

part of her life.”<br />

“Just recently even to take<br />

them on a normal every day outing<br />

is becoming a near impossibility,”<br />

she said.<br />

Ms Ashworth is getting creative<br />

in her fundraising efforts.<br />

She had a photographer take<br />

pictures of some of the dogs in<br />

her care and is now selling them<br />

for $40 each. More than $4000<br />

has been donated to her cause<br />

through a Givealitte page.<br />

RUSSLEY RD WORKS<br />

The New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency is advising motorists<br />

to allow extra time for their<br />

journey on the Russley Rd<br />

overbridge. Speed and lane<br />

reductions on the overbridge<br />

will be in place for about eight<br />

weeks. Lane reductions will only<br />

occur over the weekend and<br />

State Highway 1 will remain<br />

open. NZTA said it will take an<br />

extra 10min during weekends<br />

and night-time works and a few<br />

extra minutes on weekdays to<br />

cross the overbridge.<br />

TREES GET CHOP<br />

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board has approved<br />

the removal of about 191 trees<br />

within the Sutherlands basins<br />

site in Halswell. Due to their<br />

density, the exact number of<br />

trees to be removed cannot be<br />

determined. The trees will be cut<br />

in stages and as many new trees<br />

will be planted as possible at the<br />

site.<br />

AMAZING PLACE CUT<br />

The Riccarton Community<br />

Church Trust has cancelled Our<br />

Halswell<br />

Residents’<br />

Association<br />

secretary<br />

David Hawke<br />

talks about<br />

road issues<br />

in the area<br />

People<br />

everywhere are forever<br />

complaining about traffic speed,<br />

but very little actual data ever<br />

comes to light. Who speeds?<br />

When? Is it only those crazy<br />

young people at 2am?<br />

Murray, a friend of mine,<br />

decided to find out, at least for<br />

Halswell’s Aidanfield Drive during<br />

the daytime.<br />

We went through Murray’s radar<br />

data at the January Halswell<br />

Residents’ Association meeting.<br />

Buses and trucks were remarkably<br />

law-abiding. Most cars and<br />

contractors were sort-of okay,<br />

but around five per cent were<br />

getting to 65km/h and a few got<br />

to 75km/h or more. Too many,<br />

too fast.<br />

The sort of data Murray collected<br />

is really valuable. It helps<br />

identify where enforcement and<br />

education need to focus. This<br />

brings us to three big problems<br />

– vehicle speed enforcement,<br />

driver education and road<br />

design.<br />

Enforcement first – specialist<br />

road police numbers have<br />

dropped sharply, in spite of increased<br />

crash statistics. We have a<br />

session booked in with our local<br />

MP, to ask what her Government<br />

is going to do about this.<br />

Road design – Aidanfield<br />

Drive seems deliberately set up<br />

to encourage speeding. Longish<br />

straights with wide, sweeping<br />

curves and little in the way of<br />

psychological triggers to keep<br />

speed down.<br />

There is a similar problem<br />

emerging in a new subdivision<br />

– Caulfield Ave, Longhurst –<br />

yet the issue is less apparent in<br />

30-year-old Patterson Tce.<br />

Finally, education – driver<br />

PROBLEM: Some vehicles<br />

have been driven too fast on<br />

Halswell roads.<br />

education seems mainly handwringing<br />

platitudes from the<br />

police. When will central and local<br />

government get serious about<br />

using sophisticated psychology,<br />

targeted to the people actually<br />

speeding, to induce major behaviour<br />

change?<br />

The expertise is out there,<br />

waiting to be harnessed in a<br />

systematic programme linked<br />

to targeted enforcement.<br />

And maybe alongside some<br />

reconfiguring of stretches of<br />

road.<br />

I posed the question of vehicle<br />

speed to a group of smart<br />

15-year-old secondary school<br />

students during a problemsolving<br />

competition late last year.<br />

Their solution – re-test all drivers<br />

on a regular basis. How do you<br />

think you would fare?<br />

there all day.<br />

SOME RESIDENTS living close<br />

to Canterbury Univeristy will<br />

get to have a say on whether they<br />

want parking restrictions on<br />

their streets.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board has<br />

been working with the Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />

Board to create solutions for the<br />

streets – which are popular parking<br />

spots for university students<br />

and staff.<br />

The affected area, which runs<br />

from Straven to Avonhead Rds, is<br />

being reviewed in five parts.<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board deputy chairwoman<br />

Helen Broughton said<br />

public consultation for area three<br />

is expected to begin in March.<br />

Area three consists of streets<br />

within the boundary of Maidstone<br />

Rd, Avonhead Rd, Parkstone<br />

Ave, Athol Tce, Peer St and<br />

Montana Ave.<br />

After “mixed” feedback from<br />

area one in December, public<br />

consultation for all areas was<br />

delayed.<br />

Area one was within the<br />

boundaries of Hamilton Ave,<br />

Ryeland Ave and Ilam Rd.<br />

A majority of 41 per cent of<br />

people didn’t support the proposal<br />

to make restrictions in area<br />

one.<br />

During a meeting last year, it<br />

was also decided to not present<br />

area one to the board for approval.<br />

Mrs Broughton is encouraging<br />

neighbours in area three to get<br />

together and discuss what they<br />

want before submitting.<br />

“We don’t want to impose<br />

parking restrictions on people<br />

who don’t want them,” she said.<br />

Mrs Broughton said the board<br />

will assess whether they need to<br />

open up public consultation for<br />

areas two, four and five.<br />

SHARP-SHOOTERS: Maria (left) and Lauren Tucker and Julia<br />

Harrison have been selected in two New Zealand archery<br />

teams to compete overseas.<br />

Archers aim up<br />

Australasian<br />

titles, World Cup<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High’s<br />

Lauren Tucker and Canterbury<br />

University’s Julia Harrison have<br />

made the Archery New Zealand<br />

transtasman team.<br />

They will join the 24-strong<br />

team which will compete against<br />

an Australian team ​in Morwell,<br />

Victoria, from April 19-23.<br />

Lauren, 16, is in year 12<br />

and will compete in the cadet<br />

women’s compound section,<br />

while Harrison will shoot in the<br />

junior women’s recurve.<br />

Both qualified with solid<br />

scores in competitions throughout<br />

the country last year.<br />

But Lauren is not the only<br />

talented shooter in the family.<br />

Her mother, Maria Tucker,<br />

54, will shoot for the Archery<br />

New Zealand World Cup team<br />

in Shanghai, China, from April<br />

23-29 in the senior women’s<br />

recurve.<br />

Tucker qualified for the event<br />

for the first time in a meet in<br />

Rotorua last week and will join a<br />

team of 16 to compete for a title.<br />

“It is pretty awesome. I always<br />

wanted to do it. (I’m) really quite<br />

stoked about it,” she said.<br />

Tucker has also qualified for<br />

the Oceania Championships in<br />

New Caledonia from July 9-13.<br />

All three are members of the<br />

Grey Goose Wing Archery Society,<br />

based on Ferry Rd. Lauren<br />

and her mother are coached by<br />

Colin Tucker, who is the society’s<br />

president, Tucker’s husband<br />

and Lauren’s father.<br />

•Also included in the transtasman<br />

team is North Canterbury’s<br />

Rebecca Jones and Ellesmere’s<br />

Ryley Griffiths.<br />

Schools choose student leaders<br />

With schools back in full<br />

swing for the new year,<br />

the students who will<br />

lead their classmates as<br />

head girls and boys have<br />

been announced<br />

Riccarton High School<br />

•Head boy – Josh Pau<br />

Being head boy this year<br />

is a huge honour, as it allows<br />

me to have large amounts of<br />

influence on the way our school<br />

is run. As head students this<br />

year, our vision is to strengthen<br />

the relationships between year<br />

levels in order to show younger<br />

students more support, and as<br />

a result, raise school spirit. We<br />

hope that over the course of<br />

the year we can implement this<br />

vision effectively in order to<br />

make Riccarton high an even<br />

better school than it already is.<br />

Over the four years I have been<br />

at school, Riccarton has time<br />

and time again proven itself to<br />

be an absolutely fantastic school,<br />

through both its students and<br />

staff. Because of this, it is an<br />

absolute honour to be able to<br />

serve the school this year.<br />

•Head girl - Apoorva<br />

Patelkhana<br />

I am so appreciative of this opportunity<br />

I’ve been given as head<br />

girl of Riccarton High. It’s an<br />

honour to serve a school that embraces<br />

so many different cultures<br />

and ethnicities and is really passionate<br />

about its students. This is<br />

especially true as someone from<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

India – I felt really welcomed<br />

in a school that celebrates the<br />

diversity of all nationalities. This<br />

year I hope to continue and even<br />

expand this legacy with the help<br />

of the other prefects in the committee.<br />

We want to help create<br />

a greater sense of unity between<br />

students and hope that through<br />

our leadership, we will be able to<br />

leave the students and teachers<br />

with an even greater sense of<br />

pride and love for our school.<br />

LAMB LOIN CHOPS WITH<br />

KUMARA, TOMATO AND<br />

LEMON<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil<br />

1 pinch sea salt<br />

1 pinch black pepper<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 />

(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 />

SHOULDER<br />

PAIN<br />

KNEE PAIN<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 />

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 />
