Family 

asked to 

detain 

man who 

crashed 

into their 

fence 

• By Emily O’Connell 

A HALSWELL family was told 

by police to detain a driver who 

crashed into the fence at their 

property until they could free up 

resources. 

Julia and Mat Taylor were 

watching television with their 

newborn baby fast asleep when 

they heard a loud noise outside. 

A neighbour who went to see 

what happened walked the driver 

from his vehicle back to the 

Taylors house. 

When she called 111, Mrs 

Taylor was informed there would 

be a delay because police had a 

number of high priority call-outs, 

such as family violence incidents, 

suicide attempts, a mental health 

incident, and reports of fighting. 

Mrs Taylor said the 111 operator 

asked them to keep the man 

at their property for as long as 

possible until police could get 

there. 

A police spokeswoman said 

they gave this advice as police 

were very busy.

Stormwater storage facilities boosted 

Keith 

WORK WILL soon begin on 

boosting stormwater storage in 

Hendersons Basin to reduce the 

flood risk along the Heathcote 

River. 

The land drainage facility in 

Halswell – in farmland bounded 

by Sparks Rd, 

Hendersons Rd, 

Cashmere Rd and 

Sutherlands Rd – 

will also improve 

water quality by 

treating stormwater 

runoff in the 

area. 

The additional 

Davison 

storage is part of the new $40 

million Eastman/Sutherlands/ 

Hoon Hay stormwater facilities. 

It is one of four major storage 

projects the city council is 

building to store floodwater 

during a storm, and then 

gradually release the water 

after levels have dropped 

downstream. 

Under the Land Drainage Recovery 

Programme, these basins 

will help protect flood-prone 

homes in Heathcote. 

The total additional storage 

added will be able to hold 

800,000 cu m of water. 

The four basins should reduce 

the risk of above-floor flooding 

for more than 100 Heathcote 

properties in a one-in-50-year 

storm. 

“Storm water runoff contains 

pollutants – such as heavy metal 

and sediment – that can harm 

the city’s aquatic life,” city council 

land drainage manager Keith 

Davison said. 

“However, the runoff can be 

targeted with treatment basins 

and wetlands, cutting the impact 

of urban and rural development 

on water quality.” 

The new facility will also 

treat the increased sediment 

coming down from the Port 

Hills into Hoon Hay Valley 

Stream. There is less vegetation

Veterinary practice 

A DAY IN THE LIFE 

OF MICHELE... 

One of my earliest memories 

at four, had me dreaming one 

day about saving animals 

lives and thankfully my best 

dream came true. In fact it 

was cultivated by my parents 

and veterinarian Dave 

Marshall (my dad’s friend), 

who let me see Practice with 

him in Worchester street as 

a little girl every holidays. My 

parents moved onto some 

land when I was young 

basically so I could have a 

horse and be surrounded by 

animals, which I was. I would 

never want to do anything 

else, but sometimes my 

job is tough, mentally and 

physically and you think 

about your patients 24/7. It’s 

just the way it is for me and I 

honestly wouldn’t want Kyza 

to be any different. 

The last couple of 

weeks has seen some 

real highs and lows for 

me. All part of my role 

as a vet, but I thought 

I’d let you in on a 

snippet of my life. 

Today I laid to rest 

“Kyza”, at his home in 

the Cashmere hills. Kyza 

had been a frequent 

flyer of mine since I first vaccinated him in 

August 2006 as a delightful, bouncy, super 

cute little puppy. So for 12 years I’ve had a 

close relationship with Kyza’s parents and 

the man himself. To say he’s not been high 

maintenance nor costly would be lying, but 

when you meet this magnificent, funny, 

gentle Boxer up close face to face, it’s not 

hard to see why his family have given him 

every opportunity for the “best’ life possible. 

Kyza had undergone the scapel many times 

– knee surgery, lump removals, castration 

later in life, three operations to remove 

urethral and bladder stones, grass seed 

foreign bodies but what took the quality 

from his life in the end was Congestive 

Heart Failure, which he’d been battling for 

a while. No matter what his visit was for, 

he let me do anything I wanted as long as 

liver treats and pats were part of the deal. 

He knew my voice and would watch me 

from the waiting room ready for his name 

to be called. Right up until the end he was 

incredibly stoic, trusting, clever (he had a 

real knack of clamping his jaw as to avoid 

more medications) and he still tried so 

hard to please the humans he loved. He 

was a legend and I know he’ll be greatly 

missed, least of all by me. Today was lovely 

as it should be. It was a 28 degree warm 

summer’s day and Kyza was lying on the 

lawn peacefully and close by were the 

people he adored. He slipped off to sleep so 

effortlessly and easily and believe it or not 

he wagged his tail one last time as the drug

was being administered, 

as if to say, “THANKS guys, 

I’ve had a blast! 

He wasn’t scared, he 

looked safe and at peace. 

As I popped him to sleep, 

tears welled in my eyes. 

26 years of practising 

and sending animals off 

into the next life, doesn’t 

make me immune to 

feeling sad at saying 

goodbye to a true friend, 

a patient I’ll not see again 

nor have the privilege 

of helping. My last act of 

kindness and compassion 

is to end their suffering 

and discomfort and to 

make those last moments 

of life as kind and 

respectful as I can for the 

animal that has trusted in 

my care all of its life. 

On a high note, another fabulous 

K9 “Charlie” a 7 year old golden 

Cocker Spaniel, escaped death 

which almost seemed inevitable 

a few weeks ago. Charlie came as 

a second opinion and was a very 

sick dog with a gloomy future. 

He had refused to eat for over 2 

weeks, had chronic pneumonia, 

kidney failure and white blood 

cells higher than I’ve ever seen in 

a dog in 26 years of practising. Our 10/10+ 

team of vets and nurses worked tirelessly 

and lovingly, often out of hours, on Charlie 

and we got to the bottom of his disease, 

started the correct treatment plan and the 

rest is history. 

Collaboration with canine specialists, lots 

of internet research and special and loving 

owners that wanted to try “everything”, 

gave us time to figure out the pieces to this 

difficult puzzle. 

So as you can see, no two days are the 

same and each day brings with it extreme 

pride and joy occasionally mixed with some 

sadness. 

BUT still being a “VET” is the best job EVER!!

Summit Rd night-time 

restrictions likely to fail 

A BID to restrict vehicles 

on Summit Rd at night to 

prevent boy racing and 

anti-social behaviour is 

likely to fail. 

The city council will 

consider a staff recommendation 

against banning 

vehicles from the Port 

Hills area between 10pm 

and 5am at its meeting on 

Thursday. 

After reports of vandalism, 

fire, loitering and 

littering, the city council 

carried out public consultation 

last year on a 

proposal to restrict vehicle 

access to parts of the Port 

Hills road in a bid to 

protect the isolated and 

ecologically sensitive area. 

The restriction was proposed 

for a stretch of Summit 

Rd from Rapaki Rd 

to Gebbies Pass Rd, and 

Worsleys Rd from Summit 

Rd to Worsleys Track, 

between 10pm and 5am on 

Thursday, Friday, Saturday 

and Sunday and on public 

holidays. Local residents 

would be exempt. 

However, a hearings 

panel report, which will 

go before city councillors 

at Thursday’s meeting, 

recommends the city 

council not go ahead with 

the proposal. 

The panel considered 

all submissions, including 

those presented by police 

and the Summit Road Protection 

Authority, along 

with a city council staff report 

which recommended 

the restrictions should not 

be approved. 

The panel agreed with 

city council staff, saying 

the proposal would be difficult 

to enforce. 

The report said it could 

end up shifting anti-social 

behaviour to other areas 

where it might present a 

greater risk to the public. 

It would also restrict the 

freedom of law-abiding, 

night-time visitors who 

enjoy the “night-time scenic 

(sometimes romantic) 

views and isolation of the

Summit Rd.” 

Instead the panel, 

which was chaired by city 

councillor David East, 

has called for the Port 

Hills Management Plan 

to be fast-tracked, saying 

it could help address 

concerns at Summit Rd 

and other roads in the 

area. 

The report also suggests 

the city council consider 

both lowering the speed 

limit on Summit Rd and 

introducing a mechanism 

– such as number plate 

recognition technology – 

which would potentially 

identify drivers for crime 

prevention purposes. 

It notes that police are 

willing to assist with measures 

to curb anti-social 

behaviour. 

The panel report also 

requests a joint briefing on 

the issue be held as soon 

as possible for all local 

community boards and 

investigation into lowering 

the speed limit in the area.

Licence fails the test of time 

• By Julia Evans 

WHEN SHE was pulled over 

on Gloucester St for speeding, 

Esther Dodds presented 

Constable Kurt Davison with 

her driver’s licence. 

What the 71-year-old St Martins 

resident didn’t realise was 

the licence, a black motor vehicle 

book, hadn’t been valid for the 

better part of four decades. 

“I’ve never been more confused 

in my life. I didn’t know 

you had to have a photo on your 

licence nowadays,” she said. 

After driving Mrs Dodds 

home, Constable Davison approached 

his colleague, Senior 

Constable Robyn Pewhairangi 

with a “challenge.” 

She met Mrs Dodds weekly 

to help her study the road 

rules as part of a five-week 

programme that helps people 

get their licence – though it is 

largely targeted at younger drivers. 

“Esther studied hard beyond 

what was asked of her,” Senior 

Constable Pewhairangi said. 

She said “empowering” people 

by helping them get their licence 

makes the road safer, reduces 

death and serious injury. 

“I wish I’d been caught sooner. 

It was the best thing that’s happened 

to me,” Mrs Dodds said. 

When she passed the test, she 

was met with a “huge hug” from 

her tutor. 

“I didn’t think they’d let us go 

for our licence at our age. My 

husband always said I was too 

old and that stuck in my head,” 

she said. 

“But it’s helped me get my 

confidence back . . . it’s given me 

a sense of freedom.” 

Now Mrs Dodds has set 

herself a goal to visit her son and 

grandchildren in Otira. 

“When I get my full licence 

I’m going to pack up the cat and 

the dog and drive to the West 

Coast,” she said. 

She is also inspiring other

“If I can help other older people 

get their licence, that would 

be great. Hopefully, they’ll read 

this and think, I’m going to go 

and get the thing. Robyn told 

me she’d heard from a 68-yearold 

already. That made me so 

happy.”

The city council is collecting 

Linwood Village residents’ 

feedback about implementing 

a permanent liquor ban in 

the area in a bid to deter antisocial 

behaviour. In December, 

the city council approved a

from residents, business owners 

and police. A report with the

The Tattooist of Auschwitz 

by Heather Morris 

The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist 

and the woman he loved. 

Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies man. He is also a Jew. 

On the first transport from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately 

stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked 

out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tetovierer “the tattooist” 

to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, 

who steals his heart at first glance. His life given new purpose, Lale does 

his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good. 

This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author 

Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz- 

Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating, 

and unforgettable.

The Shepherd’s Hut 

by Tim Winton 

Jaxie dreads going home. His mum’s dead. The old man bashes him without 

mercy, and he wishes he was an orphan. But no one’s ever told Jaxie 

Clackton to be careful what he wishes for. In one terrible moment his life is 

stripped to little more than what he can carry and how he can keep himself 

alive. 

There’s just one person left in the world who understands him and what he 

still dares to hope for. But to reach her he’ll have to cross the vast saltlands 

on a trek that only a dreamer or a fugitive would attempt. 

The Shepherd’s Hut is a searing look at what it takes to keep 

love and hope alive in a parched and brutal world.

uncertainty is ever more challenging to navigate. Dr Wilson’s book follows a 

set of main principles and navigates a myriad of challenges that may be 

difficult for the aging population to face. 

The books establishes the following guidelines: 

• Assess how you are – your medical; 

• Assess your finances; 

• Adapt to that – change this, change that, do this, do that – improve your lot. 

Go ahead and do that because it’s your life; 

• Accept what you have and what cards you have been dealt. 

Health, Dr Wilson says, is the factor that needs major consideration. In his 

book he discusses the importance of accessing the best possible information 

about both physical and mental health. 

Lyla: Through My Eyes - 

Natural Disaster Zones 

by Fleur Beale 

Lyla has just started her second year of high school when a magnitude 

6.3 earthquake shakes Christchurch to pieces. Devastation is 

everywhere. While her police officer mother and trauma nurse father 

respond to the disaster, Lyla puts on a brave face, opening their home to 

neighbours and leading the community clean-up. But soon she discovers 

that it’s not only familiar buildings and landscapes that have vanished - 

it’s friends and acquaintances too. As the earth keeps shaking day after 

day, can Lyla find a way to cope with her new reality?

Family asked to detain driver 

•From page 1 

But Mrs Taylor declined the 

operator’s suggestion to detain 

the driver. 

“It was a bit ridiculous, we just 

thought we can’t just leave him 

here . . . I can’t handcuff him to 

the fence, I can’t do anything,” 

said Mrs Taylor. 

Said a police spokeswoman: 

“The caller then advised that 

the man had arranged to get a 

lift to his home address, would 

be leaving his keys with the 

caller, and would 

pick up his car in 

the morning.” 

Police did 

not attend the 

incident and 

initially said 

they would be 

Lane Todd following up with 

the driver. 

However, police then said on 

Friday “there are no further lines 

of inquiry” and they would not 

be following up at this stage. 

Mrs Taylor said she was 

surprised by this and thought 

police would have “done so well 

before now.” 

She said the driver came to 

their house the following day to 

collect his keys and apologise.

However, he said Mrs Taylor

keys.

Cahill said the front line is 

stretched but it is “hopeful the 

pressure will be alleviated by the 

increased police the Government 

has promised.” 

Minister of Police Stuart 

Nash said he is committed to 

supporting police with what 

they need “to recruit and train 

and deploy 1800 new police over 

three years.” 

The incident didn’t come as a 

surprise to the Taylors. 

Mrs Taylor said they had been 

“expecting” something to happen 

ever since moving to Ensign St in 

late 2016. 

She said cars do burn-outs and 

drive at speed on the street “most 

nights.” 

Mrs Taylor believes speed 

bumps would solve the issue.

Board games 

for MP with 

church group 

THE OPAWA Community 

Church Kafe group were 

given the opportunity to 

challenge their MP to a game 

of Chinese checkers and snakes 

and ladders. 

Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson 

visited the group on 

Wednesday. 

The group formed after 

recognising a growing issue 

of isolation and loneliness for 

seniors living independently in 

the area. 

Pastor Andrew Doubleday 

and a group of the volunteers 

have opened the church every 

Wednesday afternoon to 

accommodate the group. 

Volunteer Karen Whitla 

said: “Great conversation, 

music, games and guest 

speakers, over cake and coffee, 

is the focus around the Kafe. 

Mobility is a problem for many 

elderly in the area. Currently 

Mr Doubleday is in the process 

of organising a mini-bus to do 

pick-ups on the southern side of 

the city.” 

She encourages anyone in the 

community who would like to 

join the group to phone her on 

980 4429. 

The New Zealand owned Liquid Self Service Laundromat 

offers the latest smart key payment technology. 

Owner Sarah Sutton says using smart keys is simple and 

fuss free. 

“Simply purchase a reloadable key at Woolston Post Shop 

& Dairy (next door) for $3, load it with whatever value you 

choose and clip it on your key ring, ready to use whenever 

you like.” 

Sarah says all services at Liquid Self Service Laundromat 

are very affordable - with washing from $4 and dryers 

from $4 for 25 minutes which will dry up to three loads of 

washing. 

“Plus, by doing all your washing away from home you can 

lower your monthly electricity bills substantially.” 

The eco-friendly washing machines come in 8kg, 18kg and 

28kg sizes - with the large washers ideal for bulky, heavy 

duty items like feather duvets, mink blankets, sports gear 

and curtains. 

“The large and extra-large washers and dryers are ideal for 

families and mothers to save time as they can do all their 

washing and drying for a week in about one hour saving 

water and energy.” 

There are 8 Liquid Self Service Laundromat sites within the 

Christchurch area – Hornby, Woolston, Burwood, Sydenham, 

Richmond, Rangiora, Hoon Hay and Aranui. 

Sites are open from 5am-11pm daily – “and all you need to 

do is top-up your easy-key in normal hours”, says Sarah. 

Smart keys can be used at any of the over 50 Liquid Self 

Service Laundromats nationwide.

Aidanfield wins literature quiz 

AIDANFIELD Christian 

School took the top spot in the 

Canterbury heats of the Kids’ 

Lit Quiz championships on 

Wednesday. 

The competition is an annual 

international literature quiz for 

pupils aged 10-13-years-old. 

It aims to encourage children 

to read for pleasure, widening 

the breadth of their reading and 

knowledge. 

Aidanfield Christian School 

english teacher and quiz coach 

Karen Strijbis said the winning 

team of Cole, Josie, Jack and 

Jasper had been training for the 

competition for six weeks. 

“They are overwhelmed at the 

result, especially as we beat over 

60 other Christchurch schools 

who competed exceptionally 

well,” she said. 

Mrs Strijbis said the pupils’ 

prize of $500 will cover flights to 

the national final in Wellington 

on June 10. 

Villa Maria College, Kirkwood 

Intermediate, Cobham 

Intermediate, Avonhead School, 

Westburn School, Roydvale 

School and Yaldhurst Model 

School also competed in the 

heats. 

Christchurch South Intermediate 

School’s team finished 

second and will be joining the 

Aidanfield Christian School in 

the national final. 

There they will compete for 

a place in the world final in 

Auckland in July, where the 

New Zealand team will compete 

against teams from nine other 

countries. 

St Margaret’s College finished 

third in the Canterbury heats. 

The quiz, which is a Kiwi 

initiative, was founded in New 

Zealand 27 years ago by quizmaster 

Wayne Mills, and is now 

held in 13 counties. 

Mr Mills said pupils train for 

months for “the sport of reading”. 

“The kids spend months 

preparing for the quiz, just as 

athletes train for a sports event. 

ACHIEVEMENT: 

Aidanfield 

Christian School 

pupils Cole, 

Josie, Jack and 

Jasper with 

quizmaster 

Wayne Mills. 

TEAMS: More 

than 60 schools 

from across 

Canterbury 

competed in 

the Kids’ Lit 

Quiz at Cobham 

Intermediate 

School on 

Wednesday. 

We don’t have prescribed texts 

or reading lists, so competitors 

must simply read widely in the 

children and young adult categories,” 

he said. The Kids’ Lit 

Quiz is a not-for-profit organisation 

which is run and managed 

exclusively by volunteers.

Ceremony 

marks start 

of work on 

Knights 

Stream 

HALSWELL’S newest primary 

school – Knights Stream School 

– celebrated the start of its 

construction with a sod turning 

ceremony. 

The school, on the corner of 

Richmond and Killarney Aves, 

will open in February. 

Initially, it will cater for up to 

450 pupils from years 0-8. Stage 

two of the school will cater for 

up to 700 pupils. 

Principal Mike Molloy said the 

school has also been gifted the 

name Mingimingi Hautoa. 

The school’s board of trustees 

is made up of chairman Warren 

Read, deputy chairwoman Sarah 

Lowe, Amanda Wall, Giarne 

Harrison and Rodney King. 

Mr Molloy said the culture the 

board has “already established 

is phenomenal.” Alongside the 

board of trustees, Mr Molloy is 

planning a community event 

to be held close to the proposed 

school site in early April.

Malo e lelei. Bula. 

Fakaalofa atu. 

Namaste and 

Kumusta. Greetings 

to the Linwood 

Community. 

I am very pleased to 

be able to report to 

the community that 2018 has begun well for 

the school. This page shows the wide range 

of positive activity that we would expect in a 

busy, thriving secondary school. 

Our 2018 school year has begun with an 

increased school roll, considerably so. This 

has resulted in some timetabling challenges 

and prompt action to appoint further staff. 

Thank you to the students and staff as they 

manoeuvre their way round some crowded 

classrooms. 

2018 also starts with the first full year of our 

being in two Kāhui Ako-Communities of 

Learning, Tamai – Linwood-Woolston, and 

Aupaki – the Bays, Heathcote and Lyttleton. 

I have written about Kāhui Ako previously. 

They are schools collaborating to ensure that 

the student is at the centre of all activity but 

not just in the individual school the student is 

in at the time, but as the student progresses 

from early childhood centres through their 

schooling to tertiary and the workplace. 

Effective schools and communities have 

been doing this for decades, of course, so it 

Festival of Nations 2018 

Last month, Linwood College was once 

again on show - in all its glory. The ‘Festival 

of Nations,’ one day event, celebrated the 

breadth and richness of cultural heritage 

amongst our students. With initial speeches 

and a flag parade attended by local MPs, 

Poto Williams, Dr Duncan Webb and Ruth 

Dyson, the College’s sports' field was 

transformed into a vibrant cultural throng of 

colour and enthusiasm. 

The festival concluded with a Cultural 

Evening, a night of spectacular 

entertainment, with music and dance 

performances by students from around the 

world. 

is good to have this part of official national 

education policy. 

As we know, 2018 is our last full year in the 

old LHS/LC school buildings. In mid-year 

2019, Term 2, Linwood College will shift 

off-site for the duration of our re-build to what 

will be by then the former Avonside GHS 

site. This is a very good thing for us all as we 

will not have to live in the middle of a major 

building site for what would have been three 

years. It takes a year off the building timeline, 

from the three years to under two, and this 

means a saving of one million dollars. This 

saved money does not leave the budget so 

we can use as we see fit. 

Our community consultation about the new 

Linwood College has given us clear direction 

and everything that we do is based on this. 

We all agree that it is true that buildings 

alone do not necessarily improve education 

– the relationship with the teacher and the 

personalisation of learning are the two key 

factors for this – but there is also no doubt 

that new, purpose-built buildings and spaces 

can contribute hugely to these two factors. It 

is Linwood College’s turn. 

Finally, I am always keen to meet people, so 

if any member of the community wishes to 

talk to me about anything, please contact the 

office to arrange a time for this to occur. My 

door is open.

Mathematics Success 

We are very proud of Jeremy 

Kyle who received an 

‘Excellence’ grade for his NCEA 

Level 1 external portfolio. His 

body of work had been part of 

a year long project around the 

theme, ‘My connection with the 

world around me.’ Students were 

able to interpret this theme into 

their own context. 

We are proud to congratulate the following students who excelled in their work and achieved 

the 10 Numeracy credits required for NCEA as Year 10 students in 2017. They are: 

Cory Aberhart, J C Aguilar, Ethan Alderley, April Anderson-Hill, Jessa Arcayera, Kane

Coast to Coast Champions 

Last month six of our Linwood College students: 

Emmaline Stott, Finn Pierce, Julian Lui, Mapu 

Uasi, Kyle Amer and Moahengi Ngauamo 

competed as the 'Coast-to-Coast Rangers' in the 

annual Coast-to-Coast race. 

This intensely challenging race started on the 

West Coast's Kumara Beach and finished on the 

East Coast at New Brighton Beach. 

What an amazing accomplishment it was for 

them all to get across the finish line after just six 

months of tough training! 

We would like to thank all who supported our 

team including LC students Aaron Skow, Tane Bradshaw and Alisha Ungerboeck as well as 

Jess de Bont and Matt Mark who instigated this amazing experience for the Rangers! 

As a past participant, Jess de Bont said, “I'm blown away by these teens. They have pushed 

themselves more than many people will in a lifetime and have shown such respect for each 

other and for us coaches. They totally inspire me."

Star Activities Day 

In early February all Year 9 classes attended an exciting 

activity day at The Groynes. 

Students participated in team building activities and 

climbed high ropes testing their courage to take on new 

challenges. It was great to see the students working 

together as they got to know one another. 

Chilling 

This term Level 2 Science students visited the 

Antarctic Centre to experience survival in an 

extreme environment and to explore how organisms 

are able to survive in the extreme cold. 

After huddling like Blue Penguins in the chilling 

‘Cold Room’ (with a wind-chill factor of -18°C), we 

were then escorted to see some real-life rescued 

Blue Penguins in action during feeding-time. 

To end our adventure, we were introduced to some 

very well-trained Siberian Huskies, during which 

time we were told about these special dogs that can 

survive in such raw weather.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a 

back muscle could also be the cause, as 

shown in the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the hip, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the hip in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment.

ADVERTORIAL 

Bold colours 

Contemporary designs to style your home 

At Bolt of Cloth, they make it fun and easy 

to make your house your home. A New 

Zealand family-owned business, Bolt of 

Cloth was started in Christchurch in 2009, 

with the owners wanting to bring something 

different to the city. The initial idea was 

to make unique, 

contemporary 

designer fabrics 

available direct to 

the public. 

Two years later, 

they were nearly 

taken out by the 

Christchurch 

earthquakes of 

2011, and the loss of their 

premises meant they had to 

start again almost from scratch. 

However, those difficult times 

helped to shape the colourful 

and inventive business they 

have today. 

They stock a 

huge range of 

contemporary home 

furnishings, quilting/ 

dressmaking fabrics, 

giftware and canvases. 

You can even design 

your own cushions, 

curtains, lampshades 

or squabs. A friendly team is always on hand 

to give you 

as much or as little interior design advice as 

you need. 

Using their custom-made curtains, blinds, 

venetians and shutters you can revamp your 

home to suit your individual taste, with the 

interior design team offering free at-home 

and in-store consultations to help with all 

your window treatment needs. 

Bolt of Cloth employs a team of local 

craftspeople, handmaking many of 

their products here in New Zealand. 

Supporting local artists and designers, 

they run a textile design competition 

every year. Any New Zealand resident 

can enter and 

the winning 

designs are 

then used to 

create a limited 

edition cushion 

collection. 

They bring 

in unique 

homewares 

from around 

the world, including Finnish design brand 

Marimekko, which is known for its iconic 

prints and colour. 

When you visit a Bolt of Cloth store you will 

be blown away by the bright and colourful 

atmosphere, and delighted by the beautiful 

range of products.

Gymnast, 9, for NZ team 

• By Andrew King 

HALSWELL’S Flynn 

Gunther only started 

competing in trampoline 

12 months ago and now 

he is the youngest member 

selected in a New Zealand 

team heading to compete 

in Australia in May. 

The 9-year-old first took 

up the sport 18 months ago 

his father, Tim, said but he 

has really taken a liking to 

it and is quite good at it. 

“He had to set a 

qualifying score at a 

competition in Rotorua a 

few weeks ago, or here in 

Christchurch on March 

10-11. His score in Rotorua 

was not good enough but 

he did the business here in 

Christchurch,” he said. 

Then there was a 

nervous wait for the 

team selection for the 

Australian Gymnastics 

Championships which was 

confirmed on Friday night. 

“He was exhausted and 

thrilled at the same time,” 

Mr Gunther said. 

He has gymnastics flowing 

through his blood with his 

mother, Nadia, a former 

New Zealand representative 

in artistic gymnastics when 

she was 16. 

Flynn will be ticking off 

a few firsts this year, after 

taking his first domestic 

plane flight to compete in 

Rotorua, he will now take 

his first ever international 

flight with the New 

Zealand team. 

The Seven Oaks Primary 

School student trains 

with Olympia Gymnastic 

Sports in Wigram which 

also has 10-year-old twins 

Thomas and Lachlan Fisher 

competing in the same 

event as Flynn.

Hair cutting specialist 

with a family focus 

As with any professional skill, experience 

counts when it comes to hair cutting, and 

that’s where Louise Holdern of Elite Hair 

Cuts fits the bill perfectly. 

Louise owns and operates this familyoriented 

business in Barrington Street, and 

with 33 years in the industry in Christchurch, 

she has established a strong reputation for 

quality and service. 

“I have whole families coming to 

me for their hair cuts,” Louise 

says. “It starts with the 

mother, and she will say 

that now she’s found a 

good hairdresser, she 

doesn’t want me to 

go, so she sends her 

husband, and 

then the children 

come too.” 

As a 

grandmother, 

Louise is 

especially fond 

of toddlers and young 

children, and enjoys it 

when they are brought 

to the salon. 

“I love spending some time with them and 

settling them down,” she says. 

Louise also believes it’s beneficial for 

young children to watch their parents or 

caregiver having a hair cut, so they can see 

it’s not a scary process and therefore won’t be 

anxious when it’s their turn. 

The other aspect of Elite Hair Cuts services 

is hair colouring. For this they use 

the top-of-the-range Luminart 

Professional Colour Cream; 

however, clients are also 

welcome to bring in their 

own colour product, 

which Louise will 

apply at a cost of $20. 

Having colour 

applied is not the 

most glamorous 

procedure, so for 

clients who would 

like privacy for 

that, Elite has a 

separate room 

with a blind on the 

window, where they 

can have their colour applied then relax with 

a tea or coffee and a magazine in a completely 

private space. 

Elite Hair Cuts has been closed for a few 

days, but will re-open this Wednesday, March 

28. Also, the Thursday late night closing time 

has changed to 6pm for the winter months. 

To book an appointment for a cut or colour, 

phone 022 689 0528, or walk in for a hair 

cut any time. Opening hours are Monday to 

Friday 9am-5pm, with late night Thursday 

till 6pm, Saturday 9.30am-12.30pm. Closed

Personalised 

treatment 

for every patient 

At Better Denture in Hornby, the focus is firmly on providing a 

customised service for every individual patient, whether they 

require new or replacement dentures. 

All the dentures are manufactured in-house, which 

gives the small team more control over the process, 

resulting in a personalised approach for everyone, 

owner Chris Castle says. 

Himself an experienced Clinical Dental Technician, 

Chris explains that the materials used at Better 

Denture are of a higher quality than the standard 

denture materials, so patients can be assured their 

dentures will stay looking good and provide longlasting 

service. 

“We also help people with the upkeep of their 

dentures so they get the best from them,” he says. 

The follow-up service is another notable feature of 

Better Denture, with patients’ dentures being checked 

in the few weeks after being fitted to make sure they 

are sitting comfortably, and adjusted if necessary. 

“We are here to look after people and provide them 

with the best-possible service,” Chris says. 

The atmosphere at Better Denture’s bright, spacious 

clinic is friendly and welcoming, and patients are free 

to bring someone with them for support if they wish. 

Anyone needing new or replacement dentures is 

invited to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050, 

for a Free Consultation and Denture check to discuss 

suitable options. Same-day denture repairs and 

relines are also available. 

Located at 6 Brynley Street, Hornby, Better Denture 

is open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm and Saturday,

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

How to 

keep your 

brain 

healthy! 

Your brain is made up of over 60% 

fatty acids and in particular mainly 

DHA fatty acids. It has been shown 

people with the lowest amount of DHA 

have smaller brains and do worse on 

tests of brain function. DHA is the 

main nutrient required for your brain 

to grow and function efficiently and 

correctly. It allows the brain to renew 

and rejuvenate itself. Studies have shown 

when DHA levels increase in the brain 

its function also improves leading to a 

better memory and cleared thinking. 

One study of 430 seniors who were 

supplemented with DHA over 24 weeks 

showed their memory and cognitive 

function to almost double at the end of 

the study. This shows how important 

DHA is to a healthy brain. Other studies 

have shown the brain is able to grow in 

size and repair itself at any age when the 

right conditions are available. 

A new superfood for the brain has been 

found. Calamari is a highly potent source 

of DHA and is now available in an easy to 

swallow capsule. It offers 4X more DHA 

than standard fish oil but still offers a 

good amount of EPA fatty acids that are 

essential to help control inflammation 

for joint and cardiovascular health.

275 Fifield Tce, Opawa 

Whether it be a new build, or 

a retrofit, most homes include 

at least one heat pump, if not a 

whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are 

much more convenient than a log 

burner as you just need to press a 

button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right 

sized heat pump is key to ensuring 

optimum comfort levels. Every 

situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional 

advice from heat pump experts. 

The range varies from wall 

mounted high walls, floor mounted systems, 

multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through 

to ducted central heating systems allowing 

you to have a very discreet way of heating 

your whole home to a constant temperature 

throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is 

suitable for the size of the space you wish 

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

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it is 

important to select 

the correct size for 

Heating is a major 

investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the 

right advice. 

your requirements 

that will handle 

the job but not 

be unnecessarily 

overpowered. 

Secondly, the 

location of your 

heat pump is also extremely important. The 

cheapest installation is a back to back where 

the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind 

the indoor unit however this is not necessarily 

always the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but also 

validate the manufacturers warranty.

HOME & HEATING 

Bathroom ventilation 

The extraction of air from the bathroom 

should be a priority for all houses and 

commercial buildings. 

Bathrooms can generate a large quantity 

of steam and odours. It is important this 

compromised air does not circulate around 

the house. 

Bathroom odours can be unpleasant, especially 

when near living, sleeping or working areas. 

The moisture generated by showers and 

baths can be damaging to your home and 

furnishings and be a major contribution to 

condensation. Damp houses are not a healthy 

environment for anyone to live in, especially 

for children or other vulnerable people. 

By extracting air from the bathroom to 

outside, warmer air from inside the house will 

move in to the bathroom. Whereas opening a 

window can draw cold air into the bathroom 

and blow the smelly, moisture laden bathroom

air into the house. 

Modern houses are built to be very airtight 

and require mechanical ventilation such as 

extraction fans or heat exchanger systems. 

Although older houses can be draughty, the air 

often flows in the wrong direction. Therefore, 

they also usually require mechanical 

ventilation to keep the air quality higher. 

The quality of the air we breathe affects our 

health and ability to perform. We breathe 

in and out approximately 20,000 litres of 

air every day. It is therefore very important 

to ensure good air quality indoors through 

adequate ventilation. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact the 

experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate 

the required extraction for your bathrooms, 

and look into air exchange for your whole 

building. Smooth-Air offers a wide range 

of ventilation equipment, from air vents to 

ducting for fans, for both the commercial and 

domestic markets. They have an extensive 

range of fans and ventilation components

What’s On 

Entertainment 

Art Trail inspired 

by local stories 

LOCAL artmakers present their 

works at an exciting Art Trail taking 

place over 5 sites in Wakaroa Pigeon 

Bay on Easter Weekend. 

“e trail was inspired by my 

mum’s stories of growing up in 

Pigeon Bay,” explained artist and 

event orgniser, Keren Oertly. “She 

always spoke of her childhood as a 

time of formation, of connection and 

belonging. I was interested to explore 

these ideas of identity in relation to 

place through my research and work 

towards a Masters in Fine Arts at the 

Ilam School of Fine Art in 2017. e 

community in the Bay was incredibly 

supportive and generous throughout 

this process – none of this would be 

possible without them.” 

Based on stories shared by the Bay 

community and utilising materials from the 

Bay wherever possible, these site-specific 

and audience responsive art works seek to 

celebrate the life and stories of the Bay. e 

main exhibition takes place at the Pigeon 

Bay Hall with additional artworks installed 

along the way from the Summit Rd/Pigeon 

Bay Rd bus shelter, to Knox Church yard, the 

Pigeon Bay Boating Club, and Wakaroa 

Point. 

In conjunction with the Art Trail there is a 

free public programme of workshops
