AN UPPER Riccarton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Aussie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the all 

star team at the World Butchers’ 

Challenge in Northern Ireland.

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes Woolston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the challenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

weekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 11 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bigger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Driver hazard?

“And it just showcases that

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said.

Community 

board get 

permission 

to oppose 

Templeton 

quarry 


THE HALSWELL-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

has been given the green light to 

oppose the planned quarry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submission if Fulton Hogan applies 

for a resource consent to create a 

quarry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submission 

would likely oppose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarantee 

it . . . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe quarries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’s submission. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as well over recent years over 

the crystalline silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board will be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.

from the editor’s desk 

THE BATTLE lines are quickly being 

drawn over the Templeton quarry issue. 

On page 1 today, we reveal Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel has given the green light for the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board to make a submission on the 

planned quarry if Fulton Hogan applies for resource consent. 

This will add a lot of grunt to the residents fighting the plan. 

There are some hardened campaigners on that community 

board who know how to fight. There’s also political careers at 

stake too. Templeton residents will almost certainly demand 

current board members and aspirants fight on their behalf. 

Game on? You bet. 

Congratulations to Elite Meats owner Corey Winder on his 

success at the World Butchers’ Challenge in Northern Ireland

Denton Park tops Cathedral feedback 

Mega centre 

location 

attracts 1450 

responses 


DENTON PARK has received 

more public feedback than the 

Christ Church Cathedral. 

The city council has received 

more than 1450 submissions on 

the reclassification of the park, 

with 530 hard copy submissions 

handed in on the last day. 

This surpasses 

the 1063 

submissions 

the city council 

received on the 

reinstatement of 

Christ Church 

Cathedral. 

In August, 

Ross 

Houliston 

city councillors 

voted between 

Warren, Denton 

and Kyle 

parks for the location of a $35.7 

million mega centre. Denton 

Park was then chosen. 

In order to build on 9766 sq m 

of Denton Park, the reserve classification 

has to change.

CONTROVERSIAL: The city council has received more submissions on Denton Park than it did 

on Christ Church Cathedral. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

The facility’s proposed location 

has been highly controversial 

with sports clubs worried 

about losing their home ground 

to the new Hornby library, 

customer services and leisure 

centre. 

Save Denton Park group 

treasurer Ross Houliston said 

he wasn’t surprised by the number 

of submissions, and even 

Meet Ruth 

at the Te Hapua ¯ Halswell Centre Café 

2-3pm Friday 13 April 

thought there may have been 

more. He said the submission 

process had made the group 

“stronger.” 

Mr Houliston said he will take 

a tough stance in his upcoming 

talk to the hearings panel. 

He said he will ask why the 

city council is “attempting to 

break the whole community 

apart.” 

Phone 09 376 4512 

porthills.mp@parliament.govt.nz 

But he was optimistic the city 

council “will finally see sense” 

when the hearings panel meet. 

A city council spokeswoman 

said she doesn’t have 

information on the number 

of submissions in favour and 

against the reclassification yet. 

The hearings panel will 

meet on April 17, 18 and 23 if 

required.

Hornby High School 

Years 7 – 13 

WESTERN NEWS 

• Commitment 

• Achievement 

• Resilience 

• Respect 

From the Principal 

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. 

Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. 

Warm greetings to the Hornby High School community. 

We have had yet another grand start to our year at Te kura te Huruhuru 

Ao o Horomaka Hornby High School. We began with our Academic 

Awards assembly at which we celebrated the achievements of our 

students in 2017, with overall NCEA results improving on 2016. Some 

highlights included an overall pass rate in Level 1 NCEA for Pasifika 

students of 80% (an exceptional figure) and achievement for Māori boys 

at NCEA Level 3 that was above national averages. As I commented last 

year, these results come as a result of many factors including the quality 

of the learning programmes, the hard work of staff and students, and the 

support of whānau. All of these things are brought together by our focus 

on our values of Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, and Respect. 

These values form the basis for that strong sense of manaakitanga and 

whanaungatanga, those strong positive relationships, that characterise 

our kura. 

Our athletics sports day was an outstanding success, with over a third 

of the school entering into the top level competitive events of the day. 

The sense of whanaungatanga was visible throughout the day. Students 

supported each other as they competed. It wasn’t unusual to see not 

only staff but also students offering positive coaching advice to others as 

each sought to be and do their best. 

Last week we had a NZ Police Touch team playing against a mixed Hornby 

High School team before running a careers information session for senior 

students. The event was a lot of fun, with the Police team including 

several Hornby High School alumnae, including Detective Donny Aitken. 

And then there is the school rebuild. The first buildings are on track 

for practical completion around Queen’s Birthday weekend, and we 

are really excited about the quality of the spaces that we will have. 

We expect to move into the main building visible from Waterloo Road, 

and the new gymnasium, at the end of term. As we have to vacate our 

existing classroom blocks (known as A and S Blocks) for demolition 

by the end of the term, we have sought and gained approval from the 

Minister of Education to close the school for three additional days at the 

end of term 2 to allow the shift to take place. We’ll let everyone know 

the specific dates once the ‘decanting plan’ (the plan of who moves what, 

where, and when) is finalised. 

Please do follow my thinking on issues that are both specific to Hornby 

High School and also of more general educational interest on my 

Principal’s blog “Whakatauki: He waka eke noa”, after all, we are indeed 

all in this together - https://whakataukihewakaekenoa.blogspot.co.nz/.

Christchurch) 

These five students are our top academic students in Year 11 for 2017. 

They have done amazingly well. They have gained over 50 credits at 

Excellence which means they have gained Level 1 NCEA Endorsed 

with Excellence. For this, they receive the Gold Academic Badge, Red 

Academic pin and the Academic Tie. Congratulations to (from left) Amber

March. They are Cecilia Taotua Lavea and Aimee Musson-Polwart (U19 

Girls Javelin), Jayton Lawrie and Zachary McNevin (U15 Boys Javelin),

Pedestrian refuge causes concern 


A COMMUNITY board 

member is concerned that a new 

pedestrian refuge on Yaldhurst 

Rd is making it more difficult for 

drivers. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

member Shirish Paranjape said 

the new refuge is unnecessary 

as there is another refuge “10 

metres away.” 

“That right turn was already 

very, very difficult because there 

are two lanes of traffic both ways 

but the flush median was a really 

good thing to have and now it’s 

gone,” he said. 

But a New Zealand Transport 

Agency spokeswoman believes 

there is a need for the refuge. 

“It improves safety for people 

getting across Yaldhurst Rd on 

foot or bicycle,” she said. 

The spokeswoman said a work 

access permit was granted on 

March 16 for the refuge and 

“other related improvements 

associated with the Riccarton 

racecourse development.” 

She said all work should be 

completed by the end next 

month. 

Mr Paranjape said residents 

have shared their concerns and 

suggestions with him after he 

posted on a community website 

last week. 

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY: Shirish Paranjape is concerned the new pedestrian refuge on Yaldhurst 

Rd is making it difficult for drivers exiting Cutts Rd and turning right. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

The NZTA spokeswoman said 

the refuge “will help ensure safe 

connections for people living in 

the new development [Karamu 

Riccarton Park] to the existing 

community and its facilities on 

the other side of the highway and 

vice versa.” 

She said it’s part of the bigger 

picture of the Yaldhurst Rd 

corridor, “which includes the 

signalisation [traffic lights] of 

Steadmans Rd/Yaldhurst Rd 

and Withells Rd/Yaldhurst 

Rd.” 

Mr Paranjape hoped NZTA 

would install traffic lights at the 

Cutts and Yaldhurst Rds intersection 

but the spokeswoman 

confirmed this is not the case. 

On Thursday, Mr Paranjape 

said he was going to call the 

project manager about the 

refuge. 

He also planned to drop off a 

list of suggestions for the intersection 

to the NZTA office.

Board gets 

green light to 

fight quarry 

•From page 1 

There has been widespread 

opposition to the planned 

quarry on Dawsons, Curraghs 

and Jones Rds. Fulton Hogan 

says the quarry, which would be 

on a 170ha section of land, will 

be there for up to 40 years. 

Residents have voiced concerns 

about the potential health 

risks, water issues and devaluing 

of properties. 

Meanwhile, Mr Mora took 

a ‘NO QUARRY’ sign to the 

full city council meeting on 

Thursday. It came after the city 

council launched an investigation 

into the signs on properties 

in Templeton last week. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston 

said it’s investigating the size 

and placement of the signs 

and whether they breach city 

council bylaws. “A planning 

assessment is currently being 

undertaken against the District 

Plan and Public Places Bylaw to 

determine what size signage is 

permitted in the areas where the 

signs are displayed,” she said. 

Mr Mora said it was to show 

city councillors exactly what the 

signs look like and that “there 

shouldn’t be an issue.”

Year 7 camp at Purau Bay 

This is a great way for the children to get to know each other.

Celebrating Kirkwood House 

Captains for 2018 

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary 

Ben - Ex Springston School I enjoy Kirkwood because everyone is 

friendly and the learning environment is great. I would like to be a good 

role model for the Year 7’s and 8’s as well as make Kirkwood enjoyable 

for everyone. 

Camp was a blast! We developed friendships, experienced Canadian canoeing, abseiling, 

camping and enjoyed yummy food. When we were at camp, we learnt to cooperate with each 

other. We had the most amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We had to work things 

out when things were not right and we had to listen to instructions when the parents and teacher 

said so. Most of all we had fun. Manthan (Room 10) 

Aria - Ex Springston School Kirkwood has a friendly environment that 

embraces everyone. The school provides many opportunities and the 

technology is amazing. I want to make the school a better place by 

embracing everyone’s culture and to be a good role model. 

House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg 

Seth - Ex Prebbleton School I enjoy the environment and the learning 

at Kirkwood. I would like to motivate and support others to achieve 

their goals. 

Kaitlyn - Ex Lincoln Primary School I love the learning style, and how 

supportive and helpful the teachers are, all the opportunities there are 

and how Kirkwood will set me up for high school. This year, I want to be 

able to leave something for future pupils and be able to organise events 

to make school more exciting. 

House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa 

Katie - Ex Clearview Primary School I love the learning style, the 

great opportunities that Kirkwood provides and the friendly staff and 

children that go to Kirkwood. I want to achieve my best at everything 

and take up every opportunity provided. 

Angus - Ex Prebbleton School I love the opportunities, chances and 

the friendly people at Kirkwood. I want to meet lots of new people and 

help make this year better for everyone. 

House Captains for Rutherford/Batten 

Ethan - Ex Oaklands School I love the fun and happy environment 

that Kirkwood has. I want to do my best at everything. 

Emma - Ex Prebbleton School I enjoy the different opportunities in 

sporting and academic competitions as well as the open, friendly and 

welcoming aura that surrounds the school. This year, I would like to 

make a positive impression on the future Year 8’s and to encourage 

others to achieve to the best of their abilities. 

Our second day of camp at Purau Bay we did Canadian canoeing. At first the waves and the 

paddles did not cooperate but we found out it is about us and the paddles. We had to work 

together. The person at the front had to choose what speed we were going to go, the person in 

the middle is like the engine of the canoe where they had to follow the momentum of the person 

in front. The person at the back controls the direction. Everyone must always be ready to change 

the direction if it is necessary. Megan (Room 10)

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to the 

article about freedom 

camping outside Burnside’s 

Waimairi Cemetery on 

Grahams Rd 

Local 


Now 


Cherry Cornelius – Once 

again they are not freedom 

campers, they do not have 

facilities in their cars such 

as a toilet, shower or enough 

water for their needs. They will 

be there so they can use the 

running water which is in every 

cemetery for hand washing. 

They will be doing the washing 

– dishes, body and clothing. 

I’m willing to bet most will be 

urinating behind the fence. We 

freedom camp, the difference 

is we have complete self 

containment. 

They are free-loaders and free 

litterers. Please don’t ever put 

us in the same category as these 

people that are free-loading 

their way around our country. 

We have paid huge amounts of 

money to be self contained and 

respect and love our travelling. 

Andrea Lamont – I see 

this as a golden opportunity for 

scaring the living daylights out 

of them. Horror movie theme. 

Oh such fun. 

Davena Shields – If they’re 

only there overnight and not 

causing trouble or defecating 

everywhere, then I can’t see the 

problem. Sorry, but some people 

need to get over themselves. 

There are families out there who 

have real struggles of their own 

everyday. 

Helen Leggatt – To those 

who say they’re doing no harm, 

I suspect you’d think very 

differently if they were parking 

outside your driveway, leaving 

stained toilet paper, remnants 

of cooking/food, and rubbish at 

your fence line. 

It’s not the location, per 

se (although I think using 

cemeteries is somewhat 

disrespectful, not to those in it, 

but those who visit loved ones) 

but what they leave behind. The 

rubbish down the Waimakariri 

Gorge from freedom campers 

can sometimes be gross. 

COMPLAINTS: Freedom campers are drawing criticism from residents for parking outside the Waimairi Cemetery in Burnside. 

Kerry 

Beardsley 

– They are 

using the 

cemetery and 

church steps 

to cook food 

etc and some 

can be quite 

intimidating 

while 

walking 

past. It also 

seems to be 

a meeting 

point where they have larger 

gatherings. 

Pauline Handley – I wonder 

when and if the council will do 

a survey to see how many at any 

given time are actually travelling 

freedom campers and which are 

people living in vans etc because 

of the high rental prices in 

Christchurch? 

Ben O’Connor 

– I hate freedom 

campers, they have no 

respect for anything 

or anyone and they 

are so selfish like it’s 

there right to do what 

they want where they 

want. 

Cath Milio – We 

don’t know if there 

are issues. 

I would hope they have basic 

respect for a cemetery and do 

not use the grounds for toileting, 

eating etc. 

Parking up outside a cemetery 

is hardly a crime. 

Johnny Alderdice – Some 

people must just look for reasons 

to get offended. 

Stephen Graham – No class 

at all these particular freedom 

campers. 

Stephanie Hagerty – Are 

there public toilets there or do 

they use the cemetery? 

Daisy Graham – If motels 

and camping grounds were 

more affordable, maybe freedom 

campers would not be a 

problem. 

Graeme Palmer – At 

least they are not parked in the 

cemetery. 

John Baxendine – Need to 

make places for them all over 

the country. 

Kim Button – Yes, I saw 

them there recently – I find it a 

bit strange. 

Sarah Spencer Smith – I 

heard that freedom campers 

were parking inside the 

cemetery. 

James David Foote – 

Get over yourselves. Do the 

cemetery’s residents seem 

upset? 

Dean Comyns – Rubbish 

everywhere last time I went past, 

and the same van in the same 

spot as the picture, annoying. 

Wendy Woo – Get over 

yourselves, you’re lucky you have 

a home.

Celebrating Iranian New Year 

Wigram’s 

Zahra 

Hussaini is an 

active part of 

the refugee 

and migrant 

community. 

She teaches 

children 

morals and ethics and 

volunteers for Who is 

Hussain? an organisation 

which aims to provide 

for those in need. In this 

article she talks about 

recent Iranian New Year 

celebrations 

MARCH 21 marked our new 

year which is known as Nowruz 

literally meaning new day. 

Nowruz is on the first day of 

spring in Iran, Afghanistan and 

some neighbouring countries and 

they celebrate this special event 

with their special traditions. It 

taks place during March every 

year, so it almost coincides with 

Easter, which helps us in finding 

some decorative accessories/ 

chocolates we can use. 

Usually during new year people 

have a good spring clean, shop 

a lot and wear new clothes, then 

visit families, friends and relatives 

to show respect. We have a special 

table spread which consists of 

a mirror, candles, our holy book 

(Quran), sweets, nuts, fruits, 

flowers, coins, eggs, vinegar, 

garlic. Each of them resembles 

blessing and good future for the 

upcoming year basically. 

A special dinner is cooked for 

the new year time, mostly rice 

and different types of curries, 

depending on the family’s preferences. 

New year is all about having 

food and socialising to enjoy 

and celebrate. 

Mostly younger ones have to 

visit the elderly first, then they get 

a present from the older people 

which is usually cash. Nowruz is a 

holiday for the ones who celebrate 

in the northern hemisphere so 

people don’t go to work or school. 

It takes about two weeks for people 

to get back to work and school 

with lots of great memories. 

In Christchurch, sometimes we 

gather as a big group at a park to 

celebrate this event by bringing 

different food and sweets to enjoy 

everyone’s company. Children 

and young people play around 

the park, elderly sit together with 

their friends to have tea and chat. 

We obviously don’t have a long 

week to celebrate Nowruz and 

take time off school and work in 

New Zealand, but we try our best 

to keep the traditions of visiting 

friends and families to celebrate 

our new year alive. 

LUAONO Siwatibau, of 

Avonhead, discovered her future 

career path during one of the 

hardest times in her life. 

After a friend received a brain 

injury, she took on the role of his 

carer. It was during the following 

three years of trips in and 

out of hospital for x-rays and 

scans when she was introduced 

to medical imaging. 

“We had to visit the hospital 

for his x-rays and I got to learn 

about his injuries through the 

lens of the health system. For 

me it was quite rewarding to see 

him getting back on his feet.” 

Last week she received a pasifika 

higher learning scholarship 

from Ara Institute of Canterbury 

and is about to start the 

first year of the medical imaging 

degree. 

“I think that’s maybe why I got 

the scholarship. I had to write 

about why I wanted to do this 

Local 


Now 


PROUD: 

Luaono 

Siwatibau 

with Ara 

head of 

business 

Michaela 

Blacklock 

and chief 

executive 

Tony Gray. 

Career comes from challenge 

course, and I wrote about him.” 

It’s not the first time she has 

studied. Her first shot at university, 

a bachelor of science, was 

unsuccessful. 

Mrs Siwatibau left university 

without a qualification and instead 

found work as a factory 

hand – a role which she held for 

10 years. 

But with her 12-year-old 

daughter now applying for 

Burnside High School, she is 

ready to tackle a new challenge. 

“I think by seeing her grow and 

develop I decided that I have to 

follow my dreams too,” she said. 

Returning to study as an adult 

student Mrs Siwatibau has just 

secured one of 38 spots in the 

degree, for which 300 people 

applied. 

“Studying is a big self-esteem 

boost, it makes you feel good. 

For me, it just feels good coming 

back and relearning.”

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

FROM THE BOARD 

History shows the heart of our school 

remains strong and true through 

change. Marian College was established 

in 1982 with the bringing together 

of two Catholic secondary schools 

for girls– McKillop College and St 

Mary’s College – the latter being one 

of the oldest schools in Canterbury, 

established in 1893. 

The gospel values that Marian College 

was built on continue through to today, 

along with the guidance and steady 

support of the Catholic Diocese of 

Christchurch. 

The appointment of our new Bishop and 

his intention to make Marian College a 

priority – signals the next new phase for 

our school. 

Our community is rich in experience, 

knowledge, faith and diversity and 

we value every contribution. The 

Marian College Board extends an open 

invitation to everyone who is part of 

Marian College’s history - and future - 

to connect with us. This includes past 

and present students, immediate and 

extended family, and next generations - 

the young women who will lead us into 

the future. 

There will be opportunities to be 

involved, and to have a say on what our 

new school will look like.

Marian College Facebook page you

MODEL UN 

Unlike any other high school event, 

the Canterbury Model UN 2018 brings 

together 200 students for two days of 

debate and discussion on issues affecting 

society today. 

Seven Year 13 Marian College students 

participated recently – pictured from back 

left: Katie Ryan, Jodie Worthington, Kitty 

Aloysius, Izzy Bloxham (Head Girl), 

Louise Daly, Rose Heslop-Brown (front) 

and Bernie Simpson. 

Jodie said she found the experience 

extremely valuable. “Each of us was 

assigned a country and spent two days 

debating global issues, problem solving, 

meeting 200 other students and having 

heaps of fun,” Jodie said.

PASIFIKA 

CELEBRATED 

Marian College supported its largest 

ever performing Pasifika Group 

at the sPacPac Polyfest 2018 

Festival held in Burwood recently. 

The Marian College Pasifika Group 

also had the most students from 

any one school on stage – 43 

students performed – and had 

the honour of closing the annual 

festival. 

The students performed traditional 

Samoan items with their own twist 

of Marian Magic. Many hours of 

practice led to stunning 

performances at Polyfest, the 

Marian College Fia Fia night and 

school assembly.

IN THE COMMUNITY 

Marian College has a long standing mission 

to encourage young women to fulfil their 

potential and contribute to the common 

good of society. 

Lions Clubs also place value on service 

and have a long history of contributing to 

communities all over the world. 

Recently Deputy Head student Rachael 

Nilsson was one of several young people 

invited to speak at the Lions District 202E 

convention, on young people’s views of 

community service and how traditional 

Lions Clubs can involve more young 

people. 

The Marian College choir also had the 

honour of singing at the convention’s 

rededication and remembrance service.

Retaining top spot aim of chorus 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A TOP a cappella American 

coach is helping some of the 

city’s best barbershop singers 

win a national competition for 

the 11th time. 

Lea Beverley will be working 

with the Christchurch City 

Chorus over the next month to 

help it win the Sweet Adelines 

New Zealand 

regional contest 

in May at 

Wellington. 

Already the 

chorus is one 

of Australasia’s 

highest 

achieving 

Lea Beverley 

women’s a cappella choruses 

having won the national competition 

10 times in a row. 

Beverley arrived in the city 

last weekend and is touring the 

country to teach other a cappella 

singers. 

“I love New Zealand . . . the 

people are amazing, the country 

is beautiful and the singers 

throughout the country are so 

devoted to getting better,” Beverley 

said. 

She said she will be mostly 

working on helping the chorus 

to sing “with a lot of emotion.” 

“I work on the technical elements 

like singing the vowels 

properly . . . consonants and 

singing all the words together,” 

she said. 

As part of its preparations 

for the competition, the chorus 

will present concert A Cappella 

Champions On Show at St Margaret’s 

College later this month 

to preview its competition package. 

The show will be hosted by 

Beverley. 

The chorus performed the 

show to finish fifth in the 2016 

Sweet Adelines International 

Chorus Competition in Las 

Vegas. 

“We want to be first one day 

but we are slowly creeping 

up,” musical director Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor said. 

She said the chorus got Beverley 

to help train the new people 

joining. 

“New people are always joining 

the group . . . we want to 

make sure everybody is trained. 

We always have new music we 

have to sing at a high level,” she 

said. 

The chorus is hoping to win in 

Wellington so it can take part in 

the international competition in 

New Orleans next year. 

Humphrey-Taylor said the 

chorus will be taking on more 

“show music” this year performing 

songs including Elton John’s 

Can You Feel the Love Tonight 

and Vera Lynn’s A Nightingale

Beverley first came to New 

Zealand to teach in 2009 and 

has since judged the regional 

competition three times. 

She is classically trained as a 

pianist, but joined Sweet Adelines 

22 years ago. 

Three of the choruses she runs 

have won nine regional competitions 

and placed in the top 10 in 

the international competition 

six times. The Christchurch City 

Chorus will perform A Cappella 

Champions On Show at the 

Charles Luney Auditorium, St 

Margaret’s College on April 21.

FAST FORWARD: Cathedral Grammar pupils buried a time capsule to be 

opened in 2081. 

Grammar pupils bury time 

capsule in Victoria square 

PUPILS HAVE buried a time capsule in 

Victoria Square to mark the end of its 

multi-million dollar restoration. 

The time capsule was put together by 

seven and eight-year-olds from Cathedral 

Grammar School and will be opened for 

its bicentenary in May 2081. 

“These young people spend a lot of 

time in an ever-changing central city so 

we hope this time capsule helps them 

develop a connection to Victoria Square, 

as a place that will be the same for a long 

time,” said Ōtākaro Ltd chief executive 

Albert Brantley. 

Teacher Clare Erasmus said the 

children were thoroughly excited to be 

involved in developing the time capsule. 

“They decided to include items that 

were popular and relevant in their lives 

now. They wrote stories about themselves 

and how life is for them in this day and 

age,” she said. 

“A time capsule is something children 

usually read about. To be a part of such 

an auspicious moment has been a wonderful 

memory for them to create.” 

Fellow teacher Brigid Ladley said a 

toy owl, which is a class mascot, and a 

cellphone were among the items students 

chose to put in the time capsule. 

“The class had to repeatedly freeze 

items to reduce the bacteria before they 

went in the capsule. It was a fascinating 

process for the students,” Ms Ladley said. 

Mr Brantley said items relating to the 

restoration of Victoria Square were also 

included in the time capsule. 

“Photos of the restoration work and 

the people who carried it out have been 

printed on special archival paper and put 

in the time capsule. We hope whoever 

opens the time capsule will be able to appreciate 

how important this space was in 

Christchurch’s regeneration.’’

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.
