A NEW 60km/h speed limit and 

double yellow lines will be in 

place on Dyers Pass Rd by early 

May. 

The speed limit change was 

approved by the city council last 

week. 

A decision to paint double yellow 

lines on the stretch between 

Summit Rd and the Sign of the 

Takahe was earlier made by the 

Spreydon-Cashmere Community 

Board. 

But the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board decided against 

yellow lines on the Summit Rd- 

Governors Bay section due to the 

road’s narrowness and general 

condition. 

The changes are designed to try 

and reduce the crash rate. 

Installation of the double 

yellow lines, the new speed limit 

signs and raised centre line pavement 

markers will begin in mid 

April. 

The work is scheduled to take 

place between April 15-18, 22-26, 

29 and May 2. 

While the work is done, Dyers 

Pass Rd will be closed to traffic 

from the Sign of the Takahe to

TOP MARKS to the St Andrew’s College 

big band for coping with the massive 

emotional hurdle they had to deal 

with at the recent National Youth Jazz 

Competition (see page 3). 

Tom Fastier, who went to Cashmere 

High and played in the St Andrew’s band, died tragically the day 

before the festival. Not only did the band play but they won the 

big band title – an exceptional achievement given the circumstances. 

Said the college’s head of music Duncan Ferguson: “We 

were delighted to win, but it was bittersweet.” 

St Andrew’s also stood out in the individual competitions. 

Serge Beaton won the Rodger Fox Trophy for the most outstanding 

trombonist and Angus Rainey won the Edwina Thorne 

Trophy for the most outstanding trumpet or flugel.

Bittersweet win for big band 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE ST Andrew’s College big 

band had extra incentive to 

win at the National Youth Jazz 

Competition – bass player, Tom 

Fastier, collapsed and died the 

day before the competition 

began. 

“Tom was a bass player from 

Cashmere High School who was 

playing with our big band this 

year. He had a strong chance of 

winning best 

bass player at 

the festival as 

he was a very 

accomplished 

musician,” head 

of music Duncan 

Ferguson 

Tom Fastier 

said. 

“We were delighted to win, but 

it was bittersweet,” he said. 

St Andrew’s won the most 

outstanding big band title at the 

competition in Tauranga. 

The band dedicated its set to 

Tom, who died while on his way 

to Cashmere High on March 27. 

His death was possibly related to 

a medical event. 

Mr Ferguson said schools 

sometimes share musicians 

to play instruments that they are 

lacking. 

“For the first time in the

festival’s history, organisers and 

judges allowed the band director/teacher 

to play in place of 

Tom on the bass,” he said. 

St Andrew’s also won a combo 

silver award and a big band gold 

award. 

Serge Beaton won the Rodger 

Fox Trophy for the most outstanding 

trombonist and Angus 

Rainey won the Edwina Thorne 

Trophy for the most outstanding 

trumpet or flugel. 

Said competition director 

Liam Ryan: “We had a record 

number of registrations – 320 

students from 21 secondary 

schools as far and wide as 

Christchurch and Wellington. 

Due to this we added an 

extra day (of) performing.”

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.

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

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.

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.

Cob cottage repairs get 

green light from council 

THE HISTORIC Penfold’s Cob 

Cottage will be repaired. 

The city council approved the 

project to repair the earthquakedamaged 

19th century cottage at 

its meeting on Thursday. 

Work will include stabilising 

the remaining heritage fabric. 

Some badly-damaged sections 

will be encased in glass to 

provide protection. 

“We are moving quickly to 

protect this landmark cottage 

and preserve our past,” city 

council head of parks Brent 

Smith said. 

“With this approach, we 

can retain some of the 

cottage’s original sod and cob 

fabric and keep the site’s history 

alive.” 

He said it would also showcase 

the simplicity and workmanship 

of the early European settler 

homes. 

“Securing a window to the 

early days of our city.” 

A cob trail and stronger links 

with Ferrymead Heritage Park 

have also been proposed for the 

cottage.

Captain Penfold was master 

of the Excelsior, which traded 

between New Zealand and 

Australia until the schooner ran 

aground on the Sumner Bar in 

1862. 

He left the sea for a working 

life on the railways after helping 

to bring over the first sleepers 

for the construction of the 

Ferrymead-Christchurch railway 

line. 

Following Captain Penfold’s 

departure from the area, 

migrants lived in the cottage 

from the late 1870s until 1908. 

It then fell into disrepair. 

However, the original cottage 

was largely rebuilt in the 1940s, 

using cob. 

Overseen by local resident 

Ernest Parish, the rebuilding 

project used a mixture of clay 

and tussock or rushes. The 

cottage was then handed over to 

the city council “for the health, 

amusement and instruction of 

the public”. 

Several years later, Mr Parish 

again rebuilt the cottage 

following a fire.

The city council decided in 

October to build a wall in the 

area from Bridge St to the South

intervention to reduce the 

flood risk. The project was to be

PROGRESS: Piles for the Christchurch Yacht Club’s new boat shed have been constructed in 

Moncks Bay. Below – The old building which was destroyed in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

Boat shed rebuild could 

be finished in July 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THERE WILL be a new boat 

shed in Moncks Bay by late July. 

Construction on Christchurch 

Yacht Club’s new boat shed in 

Moncks Bay started three weeks 

ago and it expected to take four 

months. 

Caissons (chambers used for 

underwater 

construction) 

for the roadside 

piles have been 

put into the 

seabed, filled 

with concrete 

and had a steel 

Trevor Kite 

pile embedded 

inside each one. 

And two weeks ago, the seaward 

piles were driven into the 

seabed. 

The roadside piles are 

embedded between 1.5m and 

2.5m into the boulder and mud 

seabed. 

The previous structure was 

built on jetted wooden piles 

about 0.5m deep, but the new one 

has fewer steel piles disturbing 

the seabed carrying greater spans 

of decking. 

CYC shed and boardwalk 

project convener Trevor Kite said 

work is expected to take four 

months. 

“After that stage the public 

will have access to an open deck 

area with two 4m wide ramps to 

the seabed. When funds become 

available the club will place a 

boat shed onto the deck.” 

The original boat shed was 

demolished in June 2011, after 

suffering damage in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

Its rebuild has been complicated 

by several factors, including 

the Coastal Pathway. 

The deck design includes a new 

4m wide footpath along its full 

length which will become part of 

the pathway. 

“The city council will connect 

the pathway to this deck at each 

end and the existing shingle 

track then becomes available for

road widening or landscaping as 

they see fit,” Mr Kite said. 

The new $1.174 million building 

is about 5m longer and 1m 

wider than the previous one. 

“This is to provide toilet and 

changing room facilities and to 

improve storage of longer boats.” 

Some $240,000 in funding has 

come from the city council and 

$327,595 from the Coastal Pathway 

project, which will contribute 

to the extra costs associated 

with providing for the pathway. 

The remainder has come from 

grants the club has raised. 

“The club’s plan is for a 

combined boat shed, deck and 

boardwalk that has been repositioned 

seaward to make room 

for the 4m-wide walkway that 

the Coastal Pathway Group sort,” 

said Mr Kite. 

Hoon Hay stroke 

survivor completes 

2400km cycle trek 

HOON HAY’S Julie Milne is 

enjoying a much-needed rest 

after accomplishing her mission 

– to bike the length of New 

Zealand for stroke awareness. 

The self-described stroke survivor 

and Hillmorton Hospital 

librarian said she couldn’t have 

done it without her support 

team. 

“There were times that it 

couldn’t have been easy. The 

trip was uniquely 

challenging but there 

was always this quiet 

unassuming support 

that always got me 

through.” 

Mrs Milne (right) 

began her cycle, 

called Tour de Stroke, 

in Bluff and finished 

in Cape Reinga, six 

weeks later, covering a distance 

of more than 2400km. 

She and her support team 

wore yellow, the same colour as 

the Tour de France winner. 

On one of the last stretches 

from Kaitaia to Waitiki Landing, 

23km from the finish at Cape 

Reianga, Mrs Milne encountered 

heavy rain. 

There were times that it 

flooded the road and she had no 

option but to cycle through. 

“I concentrated hard as the 

wake from the car tyres travelling 

towards me made this 

difficult but I wanted to finish,” 

PEDAL 

POWER: 

Julie Milne 

cycled all 

the way to 

Cape Reinga 

from Bluff 

for stroke 

awareness. 

she said. “I thought it could rain 

on the West Coast but I’ve never 

been in rain like that rain from 

Kaitaia. Boy it can teem.” 

Mrs Milne met up with her 

daughter at this time and she 

couldn’t believe her mother was 

cycling in the conditions. 

“I’ve started the next leg with 

rainwater across the whole 

road, my wheels spraying the 

road. I had to concentrate as the 

water came over my feet 

as I pedalled my way 

through. Never had I 

done this so consistently 

before. Another first.” 

As a child, Mrs Milne 

was told by doctors she 

would have to spend her 

life in an institution after 

two debilitating strokes 

at the age of six. One of 

the strokes left her in a coma for 

months. 

Her parents were told she 

wouldn’t be able to hold down 

a job, get married or have 

children. 

In spite of discrimination and 

challenges, she is married with 

two children and has a Master’s 

degree in information and 

library studies. 

Mrs Milne said 54 years later 

she is living proof that people 

who have had a stroke are still 

capable of achieving and living 

full lives with success and 

purpose.

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)

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.

New bid to 

fix car park 

potholes 


WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has been approached in a bid to 

finally repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burwood Ward city 

councillor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pressure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are a 

“trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

assessments southern Darren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015. 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe is 

aware of the concerns raised by Cr 

East about the car park. 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board recently wrote 

to them about its concerns around 

health and safety. 

Cr East said the biggest issue 

in the past has been getting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and getting them to agree 

to anything. One reply has been 

received so far from an owner 

who is willing to discuss the issue. 

All the owners would have to 

agree to undertake any work. 

Frocks, Feathers & Fabrication 

John Emery’s latest exhibition at Little River Gallery 

Although born and raised in the American Midwest, 

John Emery has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling 

back and forth between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass, 

New Zealand, where he established a second home and 

studio in 2000. 

“It is not just the object, but also its history--its 

veritable shadow-- that I set out to record in my work. 

It is the fragmented story that haunts me. Memories, 

symbolism, physical similarities, all play a part in creating 

the “fabrication”. Objects are often from a bygone era, or 

worn with repeated use, 

reflecting time’s passage. 

At times they are literally 

in pieces: the shattered 

porcelain, the cast-off 

sardine tin, a bird feather, 

or watching the flight of a 

fantail. In reclaiming them 

for my own tromp l’oiel 

still life constructions, I 

conjure them into a new 

world. Like life itself, 

each work resonates with 

both the story and history 

associated with some 

objects, and the imagined 

potential of others. 

My painting process typically begins with a solitary 

object, a toy bear, or a Victorian hunting dress. A visual 

narrative is then constructed in the same way that I 

fabricated stories about the neglected objects found in 

my grandparents’ long forgotten trunks. As with all my 

works, some elements become three-dimensional as I 

form them from paper, the most versatile material I know” 

John Emery. 

Time flies over us, but 

leaves its shadow behind.

Weed could jeopardise 

children’s fishing event 

FAST FORWARD: Cathedral Grammar pupils buried a time 

capsule to be opened in 2081. 

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 capsule was put together 

by seven and eight-year-old pupils 

from The Cathedral Grammar 

School and will be opened 

for the school’s 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. 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,” she says. 

Fellow teacher Brigid Ladley 

said a toy owl – a class mascot – 

and a cellphone are 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 related 

to the restoration of Victoria 

Square have also been 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.’’ 

THE ANNUAL Take A Kid 

fishing day at The Groynes could 

be in jeopardy if the lakes it uses 

are not cleaned up. 

Organiser Kids Fishing 

Charitable Trust approached the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board with concerns 

the huge amount of weed 

was enough to cancel this year’s 

event. 

Board member Aaron Campbell 

said: “We need to get this 

fixed . . . it’s a real possibility it 

may not go ahead.” 

City council staff are investigating 

options for cleaning up 

the weed, said head of parks 

Brent Smith. 

Approaching Canterbury University’s 

Student Volunteer Army 

about the possibility of a joint 

project is one option. 

Mr Campbell said the trust 

had organised a working party 

and spent more than 30 hours 

trying to clear the lake with 

manpower. But it was going to 

take more than that. 

“The option of having one of 

the weed remover barges from 

the Avon, Heathcote or out at the 

Styx was discussed,” he said. 

Mr Campbell said weed was an 

issue in lakes and rivers city-wide 

due to the hot, wet summer. 

Previously the The Isaac 

WEED PROBLEM: Last year Freya Askew caught a 4kg salmon 

during the Take a Kid Fishing day at The Groynes but the event 

may not be able to go ahead this year due to weed in the lakes.

Conservation and Wildlife Trust 

has donated hundreds of salmon 

which are released into the lake 

for the event. 

Volunteers show the children 

how to catch a salmon and how 

to clean it and prepare it for 

cooking. 

Mr Campbell said at last year’s 

event when a fish was caught, 

three times as much weed was 

also on each line. 

“It would be a real shame. 

About five or six thousand kids 

could be affected. We don’t want 

to lose it.”

City surfers fare well at South Island champs 

SURFERS from around 

Christchurch claimed titles 

at the recent Emerson’s South 

Island championships at St Clair, 

Dunedin. 

In the longboard division, 

Hugh Ritchie beat New Zealand 

teammate Zen Wallis to claim 

the title with a score of 13.8 in 

the final. The 

longboarders 

opted to surf the 

point with solid 

2m left-handers 

working nicely. 

There were also 

victories for grom 

Estella 

Hungerford 

step-sisters Estella 

Hungerford and 

Ava Henderson. 

Hungerford followed up her 

victory in the under-16 girls 

division at the New Brighton 

Duke Festival of Surfing last 

month by winning the under-16 

girls division in Dunedin. 

The final was dominated for a 

time by Mt Maunganui’s Anna 

Brock. However, Hungerford 

came from behind in the dying 

minutes to take the lead and 

ultimately the win. The 16-yearold 

also finished third in the 

open women’s division final. 

Henderson, 12, who won the 

under-14 girls division at the 

Duke Festival backed up again in 

Dunedin. 

She stepped up in some ugly 

surf to win the final with a score 

of 13.9 ahead of Liv Haysom, of 

Piha. Henderson also finished 

SPORTS 

fourth in the under-16 division. 

The stand-up paddleboarding 

men put on a show of 

outstanding surfing in ugly 

backwash with Redcliffs resident 

Al Te Moananui taking out 

the title over Mt Maunganui’s 

Mark Stevenson. Lucy Te 

Moananui competed in the over- 

30 women’s division in which she 

finished third. The open women’s 

title was won by 16-year-old 

Tegen Bishop, who claimed her 

first open division event in the 

process. 

She also claimed the under-18 

title. 

The open men’s division final 

was closely contested over 25min 

in solid surf. 

Zen Wallis narrowly took the 

victory over Piha’s Elliot Paerata 

Reid. 

Christchurch surfer Sam 

Sands was third in the final 

ahead of Sumner surfer Harrison 

Whiteside in fourth. 

The three-day event was hosted 

by South Coast Boardriders and 

was dual sanctioned by Surfing 

New Zealand and the South 

Island Surfing Association. 

Many of the competitors 

will now turn their attention 

to the men’s Canterbury 

championships which takes place 

from April 21-23.

JUNIORS: Cashmere and Elmwood met in their annual 12 and under fixture at 

Wilding Park on Sunday. 

Cashmere juniors pipped 

at the net by Elmwood 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CASHMERE CAME within two 

matches of winning in their second 

annual 12 and under fixture against 

Elmwood at Wilding Park on Sunday. 

The tie consisted of 32 matches over 

the day with boys singles and doubles, 

girls singles and doubles, and mixed 

doubles. 

The clubs’ split results across all 16 

doubles matches and in the eight boys 

singles games. 

However, Cashmere won just two of 

the girls singles matches to narrowly lose 

the tie 14-18. 

The two squads were selected from 

12 and under Cashmere and Elmwood 

players who played in the Friday evening 

and Saturday morning junior interclub 

competitions. 

Cashmere and Elmwood have a 

friendly connection and have held an 

annual seniors doubles fixture for a 

number of years. 

Last year, Cashmere junior 

administrator James Meredith and 

Elmwood junior administrator Sam 

Keenan decided to start the junior 

fixture which they say has proved a 

success. 

“It’s great to have a fun day like this for 

the kids and parents before winter takes 

over,” said Meredith. 

“The kids have really enjoyed it and 

with some of them turning 13 this year, 

we may look at creating different age 

groups in the future.” 

Cashmere and Elmwood met in both 

the premier men and division one men 

interclub finals a fortnight ago, which 

were both won by Cashmere. 

“I know Sam [Keenan] was happy 

about finally getting one over Cashmere 

so we had some good fun banter on the 

day,” said Meredith. 

“At least the Elmwood trophy cabinet 

won’t be completely empty over the 

winter,” he joked. 

“We’re looking forward to the next one 

already. A lot of kids have been wanting 

to make the team for this game all year,” 

said Keenan. 

This iconic Timaru store caters for all 

baby and children’s needs both in store and 

on-line. With a huge range of toys, clothes,

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. 

Physical Sense Gym & Physio is located 

at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. 

There is a bus stop in front of the door 

and there is ample parking. To enquire 

about specialised exercise classes or 

physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577
