North Wai groms in epic form for Billabong series finale 

NORTH WAI Boardriders’ Ava 

Henderson (above) and Estella 

Hungerford will go into the 

final round of the Billabong 

Grom Series this weekend in 

hot form. 

Ava, 13, collected her first 

grom series win of the year, 

taking out the under-16 girls 

title in Whangamata recently, 

while Estella, 16, finished 

second in the under-18 girls 

division. 

The final event of the series 

will be held at Piha Beach, 

Auckland. 

Ava continued her ascent 

up the grom rankings after 

winning in Whangamata. She 

has previously finished fourth 

in the under-16 age group at the 

national championships and 

was second in the first event of 

the grom series, but this was 

her first win in the division.

Midges still 

plaguing 

Bromley 

in spite 

of trapping 

success 

• By Matt Slaughter 

“NOTHING IS working and we 

have had enough after 11 years.” 

This was the response from 

Shortland St resident Janet Profit 

to a city council study, which 

found midge numbers around the 

Bromley wastewater treatment 

plant’s oxidation ponds have 

decreased by 30 per cent. 

The study credited the drop 

to 30 midge traps which the city 

council placed around the six 

ponds early last year as part of 

a $300,000 project to reduce the 

midge problem. 

However, Mrs Profit said the 

midges are still everywhere on 

her property next to the ponds. 

“I’ve got a white dog and I send 

her outside for a piddle and she 

comes back in covered in midges 

. . . it’s simple things like wanting 

to sweep the backyard or getting 

the windows cleaned outside, I 

can’t even do that.” 

Mrs Profit has been back and 

forth with the city council since 

the problem started more than a 

decade ago.

A STRONG advocate for New Brighton 

has gone. 

Paul Lonsdale has finished up as 

manager of the New Brighton Business 

and Landowners Association because 

there is no funding for the role. That’s 

a bugger. Lonsdale has been a good public advocate for New 

Brighton. He knows keeping New Brighton in the public eye is 

vital to keeping organisations like Regenerate and Development 

Christchurch on their toes. 

Being in the public eye means being available to the news 

media. Lonsdale has been very good at this. He often says what 

needs to be said, even when the questions are difficult. 

The new chief of the association has big shoes to fill and great 

communication skills will be vital.

Lonsdale’s revitalisation role cut 


PAUL LONSDALE’S role as 

manager of the New Brighton 

Business and Landowners 

Association has been cut. 

Mr Lonsdale finished last 

week, saying it no longer had the 

funds to employ 

him. 

The 

association’s 

chairwoman 

Rebecca Tavete 

will incorporate 

Rebecca 

Tavete 

Mr Lonsdale’s 

previous tasks 

into her role. 

This will be unpaid. 

Mrs Tavete said news of Mr 

Lonsdale’s departure had been 

known for six months. 

She said the association no 

longer had the necessary funding 

to continue paying Mr Lonsdale. 

“As time went on, we realised 

that our funding for his role was 

not looking brilliant.” 

Mr Lonsdale will continue his 

role as manager of the Central 

City Business Association, with 

Mrs Tavete saying his ongoing 

commitment to this cause had 

not been a reason for cutting his 

New Brighton role. 

Mr Lonsdale was employed 

part-time by the association in 

2017 to promote New Brighton 

and increase its appeal to business 

owners and property buyers. 

He said during his two years in 

the role, the number of businesses 

operating out of properties in 

New Brighton had increased by 

over 30 per cent. 

“We’ve seen a number of buildings 

being sold and repurchased 

and upgraded.” 

These achievements meant 

the association was now in a 

position where it could operate 

without Mr Lonsdale, said Mrs 

Tavete. 

“The most important things 

we were trying to achieve were 

looked after as much as they 

possibly could be. We’ve just 

reached a point where most

However, Mrs Tavete said Mr 

Lonsdale was the only person on 

the New Brighton Business and 

Landowners Association who 

had been paid for his work. 

No longer having someone 

employed would make the 

association’s job harder, she 

said. 

“Unfortunately, we just won’t 

have as much presence because 

we’re all landowners and business 

owners who already have fulltime 

jobs.” 

Mrs Tavete said early conversations 

around how the association 

could gain additional funding

so it could carry out its role to its 

full potential were under way. 

Mr Lonsdale said this was just 

a start and the association still 

had work to do if New Brighton 

was to reach its full potential. 

“I think we’ve really only just 

lifted the surface on the New 

Brighton regeneration.”’ 

He said it was up to its remaining 

members to continue to put 

pressure on the city council and 

Development Christchurch “to 

drive more significant change” in 

the area.” 

Mr Lonsdale unsuccessfully 

stood for mayor in 2013 and 

served as a city councillor from 

2013 until 2016.

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

NEW CHANGES ON 

THE HORIZON 

What an exciting year 2019 is going to be for 

the McMaster & Heap Family. A new veterinary 

building, a specialist veterinarian joining the 

ranks, more skilled nurses required and our 

family size is fast shrinking with sons off to 

pursue their dreams. 

On the home front we have gone from a 

family of 5 to a family of 3. Our eldest son 

Connor will go into his 

second year of Veterinary 

training at Massey 

University in Palmerston 

North. Most of Connors 

summer holidays have 

been spent doing 

practical work for his 

vet degree. He spent 5 

weeks on a Sheep and 

Beef farm in Methven. 

Connor really enjoyed all 

aspects of farm life from 

ploughing fields, to 

vaccinating and drenching stock 

to driving all the farm machinery. He gained 

valuable skills in reading animal behaviours 

and how to handle them and learning about 

management practices. He is now spending 

time at a racing stable in Templeton and 

seeing some equine veterinary work. It would 

be fair to say his horse handling skills are 

sketchy but nothing 2 weeks in a busy racing 

stables can’t fix. 

Dylan our tennis man 

Connor Heap - 2nd year Vet 

student doing Beef and sheep 

farm practical work 

Our 18 year old son Dylan left in January to 

pursue his tennis dream in the US, gaining 

a scholarship to the university of Minnesota 

in Minneapolis. Within 2 days of touching 

down he was back on a plane with the 

team to a training camp in Florida. He will 

study business and finance while over there. 

At present he’s trying to acclimatize to 

temperatures that have reached -45 degrees!! 

Luckily for us, our youngest 14 year old son 

Isaac ,is still living with Ma and Pa. Not for 

long though something tells me ,as this son 

can’t wait to travel the world, meet new 

people and study overseas. 

On the vet front we are very excited 

to welcome Richard Lucy into the 

McMaster and Heap family. Richard 

went through Massey with Steve a wee 

while ago now (graduated in 1992) 

and fairly early on pursued Radiology 

and Ultrasonography as his areas of 

interest. Richard passed his Veterinary

Cardiology exams at the Royal Vet College in 

London. On returning to NZL, Richard worked 

in Auckland and Hamilton for several years 

before retraining in human echocardiology 

(ultrasound of the heart). He even did a stint 

in human ultrasound working at Waikato 

and Christchurch Public Hospitals. Richard 

has since returned to his original vocation 

and works solely performing 

ultrasounds on the heart , 

musculoskeletal system and 

abdomen of referral patients. He 

will now see his South Island and 

Christchurch referrals through 

our practice, working Monday 

through to Thursdays. Richard is 

married to Linda and in his spare 

time entertains his twin 3 year olds, 

slaves away on his lifestyle block 

and enjoys the rivers, mountains 

and coasts that Canterbury and the 

South Island has to offer. We are 

thrilled to be able to offer Richards expert 

skills and knowledge to our patients and 

those that are referred to us. 

So with the addition of Richard and our skilled 

ultrasonographer Catherine, we will be able 

to offer ultrasounds to patients Monday to 

Friday. 

We have just accepted a building tender to 

get our exciting new build underway as soon 

as possible. We are expanding quickly and 

need more consulting rooms and a bigger 

kenneling area as well as a state of the art 

surgical suite. Works should start before the 

end of the month and all going well, by the 

end of August we will be enjoying loads 

more space, a separate “cat only” waiting and 

treatment space and loads more exciting 

extras. 

I apologize now for any disruptions and extra 

building site noise but promise this that 

the end result will be a great thing for our 

patients. 

We employed 4 fantastic new nurses last 

year due to continued practice growth. 

Olivia, Rachael, Danielle and Marysha have 

all brought something new and special 

into the team mix and its refreshing to have 

enthusiastic, inspired and fun young nurses to 

help us with the important work we do. 

Visit our website for more 

information on our staff. 

Watch this space for more 

developments on our 

building project and our 

awesome expanding team 

of vets and nurses.

Petition launched over QE II school zone 

• By Julia Evans 

RESIDENTS ARE rallying to get 

excluded suburbs back into the 

Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ 

High School zone. 

In April, the Ministry of 

Education came up with a 

compromise for a 13-year 

transitional zone which would 

allow students living in the 

current zones around Richmond, 

Shirley, Avonside, Dallington, St 

Albans and Edgeware to enrol at 

the new multimillion 

dollar QE 

II Park campus. 

The zone will be 

reviewed in May, 

a month after 

students start at 

the new school. 

Bebe Frayle 

But residents 

from the 

excluded suburbs have launched 

a petition, which will be sent 

to the ministry, calling for the 

transitional zone to be made 

permanent. So far it has 100 

signatures. 

Dallington Residents 

Association chairwoman Bebe 

Frayle said the group always 

planned to lobby for the zone to 

be made permanent. 

“But what kicked off our 

regrouping was the info that 

Shirley Boys has closed their outof-zone 

roll as soon as it opened,” 

CAMPAIGN: A petition has been started to make the transitional zone for the new Shirley Boys 

and Avonside Girls’ High School campus permanent. 

she said. SBHS closed enrolments 

for out-of-zone students last 

month – two months before it is 

due to move to the new campus. 

“For us, it’s all about gathering 

support, and the plan would 

be to talk to communities and 

the school, mostly the people 

affected,” she said. 

Being permanently excluded 

from the zone would impact on 

house prices, divide communities 

and disrupt families, she said. 

“We’re placed in a very weird 

position and as residents, we can’t 

say that this is our local school. 

We don’t have one,” she said. 

“It’s a weird and unfair position 

for families to be in.” 

But Ministry of Education 

deputy secretary sector 

enablement and support Katrina 

Casey said the changes were 

made to the enrolment schemes 

to reflect the new location. 

“The enrolment schemes will 

help Avonside Girls’ High School, 

and Shirley Boys’ High School 

make effective and efficient use 

of their new schools and will 

give them the ability to manage 

future rolls and reduce the risk of 

overcrowding,” she said.

Solar panels

THE SOLAR panels on top 

of the public toilets at Bexley

second time. 

Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board chairwoman 

Kim Money said the panels 

were first taken 

November. They 

were replaced 

in December 

but were stolen 

again shortly 

afterwards. 

She said the 

second theft Kim Money 

occurred before the panels 

had been fully reinstalled on 

the roof of the toilet block. Six 

panels, worth $1500 each, were 

stolen on both occasions. 

Ms Money said it has been 

a huge inconvenience for city 

council staff and park-users. 

“The first time was bad 

enough, but the second time is 

devastating for them because 

they’ve got events coming up 

and tourists coming in the

lovely toilets and yet they’re 

having to use portaloos, so it’s

Unusual 

items 

taken in 

scout hall 

burglary 


A USED toilet brush was 

among the hundreds of dollars 

of equipment stolen from the 

Otakaro Park Scout Group in 

Dallington. 

However, group leader Angela 

Smith-Williams said the bad 

situation has been transformed 

into a learning experience for 

the cubs and scouts. 

The Otakaro Park Scout 

Hall on Halberg St was broken 

into between February 4-7. A 

range of unusual items were 

taken, including orienteering 

compasses, cooking pots, art 

and craft supplies, toilet paper 

and cleaning products. 

Mrs Smith-Williams said 

a box of cub badges was also 

taken. She questioned why 

anyone would steal an item 

which means so much to 

the cubs. “They’re of no use 

to anyone else, but cubs are 

incredibly proud when they 

earn them.” 

Although the burglary was 

a big blow for the group, it 

created an opportunity to teach 

the scouts and cubs about the 

role of the police, Mrs Smith- 

Williams said. 

“We’re hoping to link up later 

in the term and see if we can get 

a finger-printer in, or if we can 

go to the police station and have 

a look at how they do it all.” 

A Facebook post made by 

Mrs Smith-Williams after the 

burglary was shared 182 times 

and many people have donated 

time and equipment to get the 

scout group back on its feet. 

“It’s just been amazing how 

the community has rallied 

behind us.” 

She said the burglary had also 

taught the kids a valuable lesson 

about generosity. 

Road safety tips for pupils and parents 


THE BEGINNING of the school 

year has seen children and 

parents in the eastern suburbs fill 

footpaths and roads at pick-up 

and drop-off times. 

The safety risks that come with 

this have prompted police to 

make an effort to educate pupils 

on how to stay safe heading to 

and from school. 

But pupils are not the only 

targets of the messages – a big 

push is being made to get them 

to share the road safety tips with 

their parents. 

Schools community officer 

Constable Matt Swaney said 

parents’ safety concerns during 

the school rush often created 

more safety issues. 

“There’s a feeling from a lot of 

parents that the roads aren’t safe 

and, therefore, they want to drop 

their kids as close to the gate as 

possible. In the process of doing 

that, they’re actually making the 

roads more unsafe by doubleparking 

and parking on yellow 

lines and contributing to the 

problem they’re trying to avoid.” 

“Our message to kids is a lot of 

common sense stuff like to use 

school crossings.” 

Constable Swaney said too 

often this message is not getting 

through to parents and children 

are being encouraged to teach 

them good habits. 

“You get parents who will cross

Mrs Profit said the traps had 

been relatively successful over 

Christmas, but the midges had 

returned to her property in huge 

numbers. 

“It’s absolutely atrocious 

. . . it may have worked over 

Christmas, but it is definitely not 

working now.” 

City council general manager 

of city services David Adamson 

said the 30 per cent reduction 

in midge numbers has occurred 

around the ponds themselves, 

but “no monitoring of the midge 

numbers is undertaken in the

surrounding areas or 

properties.” 

Mrs Profit said the 

city council’s current 

strategy is costing too 

much considering the 

results. 

“They breed in the 

ponds but they don’t 

stay there . . . they may 

have 30 per cent less in 

the ponds, but we haven’t got 30 

per cent less in the houses.” 

She said placing salt around 

the edge of the ponds or 

reinserting some sewage back 

into them would be better and 

Janet Profit 

Russell said the messages being 

relayed to road patrollers in the 

session were getting through. 

The tips have been spread to 

pupils of all ages, even those as 

young as five, and to parents as 

well, Mr Russell said. 

He said pupils “don’t run 

across the crossing now like they 

used to – they wait until they’re 

more cost-effective 

options. However, Mr 

Adamson said the salt 

option had been proven 

to be “uneconomic” and 

adding sewage had the 

potential to cause an 

odour and “a significant 

impact on the water 

quality of the final 

effluent being discharged 

out into Pegasus Bay.” 

He said the current range of 

the trapping and monitoring 

techniques being used would 

“have a cumulative influence as 

they take effect in coming years.”

told.” Mr Russell said Woodham 

Rd is “one of the major roads 

that a school is on and just for 

the safety of the kids, some of the 

traffic needs to be told to slow 

down.”

Bromley midge problem: ‘Nothing is working’

The reduction in the midge 

population achieved by the 

techniques means they are 

currently the best options, he 

said. 

But Mrs Profit said she 

was willing to “make midge 

sandwiches and take them to the 

council” to give it a taste of just 

how bad the problem was on her 

property. 

She doesn’t hold out hope that 

it will get better, in spite of years 

of trying. 

“I’m not just fighting a losing 

battle, it’s been a losing battle of 

11 years. It’s longer than a war.”

“Heather and I would like to convey to you and your personal assistants Samantha and Lisa,

HEALTHY: Reverend Katrina Hill runs a fruit and vegetable co-op and shop out 

of St Faith’s Anglican church in New Brighton. 

Reverend grows fruit 

and vegetable co-op 


A NEW Brighton church 

minister is spreading good 

health, community spirit 

and big savings to residents 

in the east. 

Reverend Katrina Hill 

has opened a shop at St 

Faith’s Anglican church 

on Hawke St to support 

her fruit and vegetable 

co-op. It supplies produce 

to people in New Brighton, 

South New Brighton and 

North New Brighton every 

Tuesday. 

The initiative has 

become a hit, saving 

people money and 

providing an opportunity 

for volunteers to do their 

bit for the community. 

Rev Hill and other 

organisers purchase fruit 

and vegetables and sell 

them in $10 mixed bags big 

enough to feed a family for 

a week. 

She said the bags are 

sold for about 30 per cent 

less than what other stores 

charge. More than 60 bags 

are sold every week, she 

said. 

Rev Hill said the co-op 

helps to ease some of 

the strain for parents in 

particular. “It’s really 

difficult parenting these 

days, I think. There’s a 

lot of external pressure in 

regards to food people are 

eating.” 

“As parents, we want 

to be giving good food 

to our children and it’s 

just becoming harder and 

harder to do that.” 

Co-op volunteers get a 

great sense of pride out 

of giving back to their 

community, said Rev Hill. 

“I know a lot of the 

people that are part of 

our community really 

appreciate being able to 

help families in some way.” 

“We offer opportunities 

to volunteers who may 

be isolated and wanting 

something to do during 

their day.” 

Rev Hill said the health 

benefits of the co-op, 

paired with its positive 

effect on community spirit, 

has made it a “win-win” 

initiative for all involved.

Sustainability key 

to organic farming 

There’s something for 

everyone in the realm of 

organic farming but as far 

as Bill Martin is concerned, 

it’s all about sustainability. 

The Training College 

Manager at Lincoln 

University’s Biological 

Husbandry Unit Organics 

Trust (BHU) is happy to see 

a surge in enthusiasm for 

organic food production 

as younger generations 

become more aware of 

environmental concerns. 

He says the growing 

popularity of organic 

production in recent years 

means that graduates are 

now taking what they have 

learned into a broader 

range of sectors. 

“It’s not just about 

growing, wholesaling 

and retailing food anymore. They’re 

going into schools and teaching primary 

and secondary schoolers about the 

importance of sustainable farming and 

gardening and really starting to embed the 

philosophy into the education system.” 

As far as conventional agricultural 

practices are concerned, he says farmers 

should be encouraged to optimise their 

production, rather than maximise it at the 

expense of the environment. 

“We need to change our agricultural 

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.” 

Mr Martin says those interested in a 

career in organics should enrol in the 

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production 

LIN2813 

Grow a career 

in organics 

Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare 

you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s 

a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind 

contemporary organic agri-food production. 

Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural 

scale really means. 

Learn more at www.lincoln.ac.nz or call 0800 10 60 10. 

Students 

are eligible 

for a fee waiver 

course, which is open to students either 

with or without university entrance. 

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga 

and Mahinga Kai components and can 

lead to employment in organic primary 

production or other sectors related 

to organics, especially education and 

hospitality. 

“The course offers a good grounding 

in the principles of organic agriculture, 

teaching the philosophies and histories 

of organics and providing practical 

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr 

Martin says. 

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic 

Agri-Food Production and begin studying 

in February 2019.

Petition fails to 

save Eastgate 

Kiwibank 


A BID to reopen Kiwibank’s 

branch in the Eastgate Shopping 

Centre has failed. 

Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson 

presented a petition to save 

Kiwibank’s services in the 

mall with more than 3000 

signatures to Kiwibank investor 

and government relations manager 

Kevin Hastings on January 

29. 

In spite of the number of signatures, 

Kiwibank spokeswoman 

Kara Tait said its decision was 

based on the shift in how people 

are banking in the modern age. 

“Over 90 per cent of our customers 

are now banking online.” 

She understood that adapting 

to this change could be harder for 

the older generation, but there are 

support services available to help 

people with online banking. 

However, Woolston Community 

Association chairwoman Jackie 

Simons said expecting people to 

change so quickly after a lifetime 

of doing their banking in person 

was unrealistic. 

“While I understand that we 

should supposedly all move with 

the times, there are a whole lot 

of people in that area that simply 

can’t.” 

CHRISTCHURCH will 

soon welcome its first former 

refugees via the quota since the 

earthquakes – and the New 

Zealand Red Cross is getting 

ready to help them settle. 

Groups of about 20 former 

refugees from Afghanistan and 

Eritrea will arrive in the city 

every eight weeks from March 1. 

Christchurch’s Farahnaz 

Khosravi, 47, is training to 

become a refugee support 

volunteer with the New Zealand 

Red Cross and will work in a 

small team to support a new 

family transition into New 

Zealand life. Ms Khosravi came 

to Christchurch from Iran on 

a skilled migrant visa with her 

husband and children almost 

five years ago. 

She knows what it’s like to be 

new to the country and felt it 

was her duty to help other new 

Kiwis feel at home. 

“When I moved from Iran, 

I had done all I could to 

prepare from overseas – I 

knew english, enrolled my 

children in schools, rented 

a house, I had even made an 

appointment with the bank. 

“Even with all that preparation 

and information I had, it was 

still challenging. I know it will 

be much harder for refugees who 

haven’t planned to be here, don’t 

have knowledge of english or of 

the country.” 

Ms Khosravi said her family 

was warmly welcomed by 

Cantabrians and they wanted to 

ensure other new arrivals have 

the same experience. 

Red Cross pathways to 

settlement manager Jo Fasheun 

said refugee support volunteers 

will help new Kiwis settle into 

their homes, find their way 

around, meet their neighbours, 

register with a doctor and 

navigate public transport. 

“All of that can be really 

challenging – it’s about how we 

can support them to make those 

challenges easier and bringing 

some humour into it. It’s about 

learning from each other along 

the way,” Ms Fasheun said.

Solution to village’s bus woes 

Disabled 

Persons 

Assembly 

Christchurch 

and districts 

president Philip 

Haythornthwaite 

provides a solution to Diana 

Isaac Retirement Village 

residents’ lack of a nearby 

bus stop 

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury 

cannot claim it has ‘run out of 

ideas’ for a compromise that 

would satisfy both residents and 

staff at Diana Isaac Retirement 

Village after the Orbiter bus route 

was changed on January 7. 

I was at the protest meeting 

outside the ECan office on Tuam 

St when the ECan chairman 

guaranteed a full bus service 

would be retained to service 

the retirement village after the 

Orbiter service was cut. 

This change has been forced 

onto ECan because QE II Drive 

is being rebuilt and there is no 

longer a right turn into Philpotts 

Rd for the Orbiter service to 

use. 

The solution to this is very 

simple – change route 44, the 

Dallington to Ara bus service. 

It could turn right from Innes 

Rd into Philpotts Rd up to the 

old Glenmoor School site, which 

Ryman Healthcare has offered 

the use of part of their land as 

a turning circle. It could then 

go back along Philpotts Rd over 

Innes Rd to Kensington Ave and 

into the city. 

The turning circle concept 

is already in use on three bus 

routes – the Orange and No 135 

at Burwood Hospital, where 

both buses use the same on-site 

bus stop, and at The Princess 

Margaret Hospital where the 

Orbiter anti-clockwise service 

turns into the same bus stop 

outside the hospital as the Orbiter 

clockwise service. 

ECan senior manager of 

public transport Stewart Gibbon 

has said ‘re-routing the No 44 

also did not align with ECan’s 

regional public transport plan’. 

The needs of bus passengers 

must surely ‘align with ECan’s 

regional public transport plan’ 

and msut come first at all times. 

The re-routing of a bus service is 

an important and simple way to 

achieve this. 

ECan has a duty to honour the 

commitments made to the public 

last year to provide a service to 

people who are now 800m from 

their nearest bus stop. 

WITH FEBRUARY 

traditionally the hottest month 

of the year, the city council is 

reminding residents to keep 

doing their bit to save water so 

it can work to remove chlorine 

from the city’s water supply as 

soon as possible. 

The council is aiming for 

the city’s drinking water to be 

un-chlorinated by May, which 

will mark 12 months since it 

rolled out chlorine treatment 

in response to advice from the 

Canterbury medical officer of 

health. 

City council water supply 

improvement programme 

manager Helen Beaumont said 

achieving the target depends 

partly on people continuing to 

use less water so wells can be 

taken offline and upgraded as 

needed. 

“We’re definitely not out of 

the woods yet, and we really 

need people to keep watching 

their water use so we can 

upgrade our wells and continue 

to cut back the chlorine across 

the city,” Ms Beaumont said. 

“We’re experiencing much 

hotter days now, with less rain 

in between, so the temptation 

is to leave the garden sprinklers 

on for longer or to turn them on 

Local

PEGASUS POST 


Saving water key to 

getting rid of chlorine 

more often. 

“We have no issue with 

people watering their lawns or 

gardens, but we do ask they use 

a hand-held hose or watering 

can, which avoids any waste, 

and only water on alternate days 

between 9pm and 7am, when 

it’s cooler.” 

Sprinklers and garden 

irrigators are the biggest users of 

household water, but there are 

plenty of other ways people can 

help save, said Ms Beaumont. 

“Taking shorter showers, 

doing one less laundry load 

a week, and sweeping your 

driveway instead of hosing it 

are all ways people can help 

save water. It may not seem like 

much, but a lot of people doing 

a little really adds up.” 

By May the city council 

expects to have completed 

temporary upgrades on 19 

below-ground wells and to have 

raised another 41 above ground, 

bringing the total number of 

secure wells to 98 out of 140. 

“If we can upgrade those wells 

as planned, we should have 

enough un-chlorinated water to 

supply the city over the winter 

months, when we use about 50 

per cent less water than we do 

over summer.”

Manly league legend visits 

in lead up to Warriors clash 

MANLY SEA Eagles legend 

Steve Menzies visited North 

New Brighton as part of the 

club’s early preparations for 

their match against the Warriors 

in Christchurch in March. 

Menzies played 349 first class 

games for Manly and scored 180 

tries in his 15-year career at the 

club. 

He spent time with youngsters 

at the aptly named Sea Eagles 

Reserve in North New Brighton, 

and caught up with Crusaders 

coach Scott Robertson for a 

swim at Sumner beach and then 

a Crusaders practice. 

Justin Wallace, the promoter 

of the March 30 event through 

his company Walco, said this 

will be Manly’s second home 

game in Christchurch, having 

lost to the Warriors last year. 

“Plans are well-advanced 

for the match and ticket 

sales through Ticketek are 

accelerating the closer we get 

to the start of the NRL Telstra 

Premiership season. 

“Manly is looking to have 

a long-term relationship with 

Christchurch and we know fans 

here will adopt them as their 

favourite Australian NRL side,” 

he said. 

•The Sea Eagles will 

play the Warriors at 5pm 

on Saturday, March 30, at 

Christchurch Stadium.

Tech graduates in 

ADVERTORIAL 

demand from industry 

Young technology graduates are being snapped 

up by employers, with the rapidly growing New 

Zealand ICT (information communications and 

technology) industry hungry for skilled staff. 

“There are lots of IT jobs, but not enough graduates 

joining the marketplace,” says Gary Taylor, campus 

manager of Vision College in Christchurch. 

Vision College, a private training establishment with 

campuses in Christchurch, Auckland, Pukekohe and 

Hamilton, has seen huge demand from employers 

for its graduating information technology students. 

“In the future, there will be an even bigger shortfall,” 

warns Taylor, who notes that IT industry occupations 

are on Immigration New Zealand’s long-term skill 

shortage list, reflecting the growth of the industry 

and the rise in job vacancies. “The IT industry is 

growing rapidly. We need to get more skilled 

graduates ready to ride the wave.” 

According to the latest annual TIN Report, the 

revenue of the top 200 New Zealand technology 

companies grew by 11 per cent to $11.1 billion in 

2018. The New Zealand tech sector employs more 

than 25,000 people locally and 50,000 globally, and 

offers a significantly higher pay than the national 

average. 

Christchurch woman Jessica Costello, 20, recently 

graduated from Vision College with a Level 5 NZ 

Diploma in Web Development and Design and 

a Level 6 NZ Diploma in Software Development. 

The two-year programme covered a range of 

subjects, including web design, coding languages, 

programming skills and software engineering – as 

well as an eight-week internship with local company 

CORE Education – which led to a job offer. 

Late last year Costello started as a junior web 

designer with the company. “It’s a great industry 

to be working in, and I can’t wait to see what the 

future holds,” says Costello. 

She attributes Vision College as being a huge part 

of her success in gaining employment in the IT 

industry. The small class sizes and supportive tutors 

were both nurturing and engaging. “Our tutors built 

a great rapport and connection with the students, 

so they knew where we were at to ensure we were 

all keeping up with the programme,” says Costello. 

There was also a focus on practical learning and 

writing code. “We were on the computers from the 

first day, learning by doing, and really drilling down 

into specialty areas,” says Costello. “I could see my 

skillset progressing and developing every day.” 

As well as learning technical skills, she had the 

opportunity to do professional practice papers to 

build up “soft skills” too – something employers are 

increasingly looking for, notes Taylor. 

“They’re wanting peopale that are technical skilled 

but who can also be innovative, creative and solve 

problems and can communicate well,” says Taylor. 

He says that industry internships are a key part 

of the course programme, giving students the 

opportunity to apply their learnings to real world 

situations – and these opportunities often lead to 

employment. 

Aaron Kitto, national IT manager at CORE 

Education, and Costello’s new boss, agrees that the 

industry is desperate for more skilled IT graduates, 

particularly in areas such as software development. 

He encourages students to find out more about 

IT courses, as it is a career that offers flexibility and 

growth. 

“For me, IT is a skill that can exist in any industry like 

human resources or marketing,” says Kitto. “The skills 

of an IT person can be mobile between almost every 

type of organisation from education to agriculture 

to tourism. This means that as the world moves 

towards less “job for life” roles and more “do what is 

needed” roles, IT people are perfectly placed to take 

advantage of this. We have contractors who set up 

company servers in Taiwan while writing code for a 

Canadian firm, all from a beach in Bali.”

visioncollege.ac.nz or phone 0800 834 834. The 

programme allows for flexible study and University

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and 

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. 

Scientists at Rush University Medical 

Center found those most deficient 

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest 

brain mass & the lowest scores on 

tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration & brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains & score higher 

on cognitive tests than those with lower 

levels. Yet another recent landmark study 

showed that B12 supplementation slows 

the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage 

& declining cognitive function. B12 is 

essential for energy production, cell 

health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles, 

nerve health & repair, & prevention of 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular 

risk factor that is known to cause damage 

& plaque in the blood vessels. It can also 

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard 

researchers found 

a 34% decrease 

risk of vision 

loss in a study 

of participants 

aged 40+ who 

supplemented with 

B12. Another study 

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in 

subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb 

it declining with age as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication & other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual 

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth & 

thru bypassing the digestive tract have 

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in 

the body.

Grape Seeds Shown To Have 

Remarkable Health Benefits! 

According to researchers grape seeds may 

hold the potential to treat & prevent many 

devastating disorders. The seeds have been 

found to contain many powerful antioxidant 

such as resveratrol, catechins, epicatechins, 

proanthocyanadins & anthocyanins as well as 

other nutrients that have been shown to support 

the natural healing process & even slow the 

aging process. 

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown to 

reduce inflammation & pain, increase cellular 

energy, protect protein structures & increase 

collagen production. The powerful antioxidants 

in GSE can tone & strengthen the blood vessels, 

improve blood flow making it valuable for 

circulatory disorders of all kinds, including 

varicose veins, haemorrhoids, hardening of the 

arteries & impaired blood flow to the brain. It 

is excellent for most skin conditions because 

of the increase of blood flow to the skin tissue 

thru allowing more nutrients to the tissue cells 

& better waste removal from the cells. As well as 

this it supports collagen production. For these 

reasons many people report the skin looks more 

healthy, smoother & with better elasticity when 

using GSE. 

GSE offers a natural alternative for many 

people with hypertension (High Blood 

Pressure). Higher than normal blood pressure 

puts more stress on organs & can lead to 

atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) & 

therefore increased risk of heart disease (The 

heart has to work harder to supply blood 

around the body & may become enlarged & 

eventually fail) & strokes. 

Recent analysis of 16 randomized studies on 

people with elevated blood pressure found GSE 

to significantly lower both systolic & diastolic 

blood pressure but had no effect on people with 

normal blood pressure. Animal studies have 

shown GSE to improve heart function, reduce 

damage caused by heart attacks & prevent the 

formation of foam cells that play a role in the 

formation of arterial plaque. 

A growing number of studies show that GSE 

has powerful anticancer properties in both the 

prevention & treatment of many types of cancer. 

Studies show arthritis of every type may be 

greatly improved by GSE. GSE also helps protect 

the body against damage caused by diabetes 

while helping balance blood sugar levels. 

Another area GSE is proving highly beneficial 

is the brain. It has been shown to protect 

brain cells while stimulating the formation of 

healthy new brain cells. It may prove vital in the 

treatment of brain disorders like Alzheimer’s & 

Parkinson’s disease. 

There are numerous studies on GSE that 

show it can help support our good health & 

prevent many degenerative diseases.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Joint 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 of their joints. 

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. The images show 

how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back 

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain 

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot 

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder 

blade can give a deep pain in the front of 

the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way 

near the groin can give an ache in the knee 

(especially at night in bed). 

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 

and wellbeing. 

The same lack of movement can be the 

reason for your knee pain or your shoulder 

pain and the same few treatments could 

make a huge difference for you. 

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 joint, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

SHOULDER 

PAIN 

KNEE PAIN 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the joint 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. 

HIP PAIN 

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

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 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment. 

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

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge 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 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

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’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community
