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.

GOOD NEWS for motorists on page 7
today.
The Middleton, Ilam and Riccarton
Rd intersection – the city’s fourth most
dangerous junction – could become a
T intersection. It’s a proverbial of an intersection. Turning
right from Riccarton into Middleton and right from Ilam into
Riccarton can be frustrating.
So plans are afoot for a $1 million safety upgrade. It would
include restricting Riccarton Rd from Middleton Rd to left turns
in and out only, as well as narrowing the road to allow more
footpath space for pedestrians.
There are divided views on the changes as our article reveals,
but the bottom line is something has to be done, in my humble
view anyway.

More rubbish dumped at estuary
• By Louis Day
A WILD boar carcass and
broken lime scooter have
been found next to the Avon-
Heathcote Estuary as illegal
dumping continues.
Avon-Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai
Trust co-ordinator
Tanya Jenkins said
the group collects
up to 10 tonnes of
rubbish from the
estuary each year.
Andrew
Rutledge
“It is particularly
sad that people
can’t drive a few
metres to the landfill and dispose
of it there, but I guess it has a lot
to do with cost,” she said.
Mrs Jenkins said the pollution
from illegal dumping was having
a serious impact on wildlife in
the estuary area.
“A couple years back, we had
a dead hector’s dolphin turn up
in the estuary. We had a look
and it had a plastic bottle in its
blowhole.”
Fines under the Litter Act can
range from $100-$400. However,
under the Resource Management
Act, the cost of an infringement
is $500 for an individual or
$1000 for a company. The type of
infringement is determined by
the nature of the offence.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge encouraged
members of the public to report
illegal dumping.
“The public can assist us
by reporting any dumping
they see through Snap Send
Solve, our Call Centre, or
social media. If it’s related to
the waterways, the public can
also contact Environment
Canterbury’s Incident Response
Line. Recording any vehicle
details is always a great help to
investigators,” he said.
•To report illegal rubbish
dumping, phone the city
council on 941 8999 or ECan
on 0800 765 588.

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
Open 7 days

phone 338 2534, Fax 339 8624
e. mcmasterandheap@yahoo.co.nz
www.mcmasterheap.co.nz
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

CONSERVE: The city council is asking people to only water their gardens on
alternate days between 9pm and 7am, when it’s cooler.
Help get rid of the
chlorine in our water
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 more often.
“We have no issue with
people watering their
lawns or gardens, but we
do ask they use a handheld
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 unchlorinated
water to supply
the city over the winter
months, when we use
about 50 per cent less water
than we do over summer.”

Lifetime of community service ends
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Julia Evans
WELL-KNOWN Redcliffs
identity David Cox has died after
a long illness.
The 79-year-old gave a lifetime
of service to the community
including a stint as a city
councillor and Hagley-Ferrymead
Community Board member.
He had Parkinson’s disease
for the last three-and-a-half
years. However, Mr Cox died
on February 7 after a battle with
cancer.
Throughout his life Mr Cox
was a patron of the Redcliffs
Library, as well as chairman of
the Music Centre of Christchurch
and member on the board of
the Christchurch Symphony
Orchestra.
His wife of 56 years,
Fiona, said Mr Cox he cared
so much about the community
and was still working with the
library a month before he passed
away.
“He was living life pretty well
until just before Christmas. All

the family came for Christmas
and we had the best day ever,” she
said.
Mr Cox leaves behind children
and grandchildren, Sonia and
Peter Caird, Andrew and Sarah
Cox, James, Simon and Michael
Caird, and Annabel and Claudia
Cox.
He was involved in the Sumner
Lifeboat Institution, the Youth
Heritage Education Trust, a
member of the Court Theatre
Trust and a committee member
for Bromley Kindergarten,
Christchurch East School and
Linwood College.
Mr Cox was also active in a
number of sports clubs including
Christchurch United, Ferrymead
Bays Football Club, Sumner
Cricket and Canterbury Sports
Foundation.
Ferrymead Bays wore black
armbands and held a minute’s
silence in his honour before their
game on Saturday.
City councillor Yani Johanson
worked with Mr Cox from 2001,
when he was first elected to the
board.
“He was a really hard-working
and dedicated servant to the
community. He was involved
with young sports people,
volunteer groups, the libraries.
In terms of his service to the
community, he was incredible.”
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham said he was a
great adviser for board matters.
“We met on several occasions
at functions and he offered great
advice and support. David Cox
has provided excellent service
and support to Christchurch city
and to his community. This will
be his enduring legacy.’’
A celebration of Mr Cox’s life
was held on Friday.
Tiny house planned for residential complex
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A HALSWELL residential care
and rehabilitation service is
joining the tiny house movement
in a bid to address the city’s
housing shortage for people with
physical disabilities.
St John of God Halswell is
planning to build an accessible
small home to provide more
accommodation for its residents
looking to transition back into
independent living.
The service’s centre manager
Virginia Spoors said one of the
issues for the trust is when its
residents are ready to move
back into the community after
recovering from a stroke or
spinal injury, there isn’t suitable
housing available.
“We are over 100 per cent occupied.
It is really busy. There is
some urgency to find supportive
living,” she said.
INDEPENDENT LIVING: St John of God Halswell is joining the
tiny home movement.
About five people are currently
waiting to find suitable housing.
The tiny house will be designed
specifically to cater for
a person in a wheelchair with a
physical disability with a ramp to
the house, a wide doorway and
an accessible bathroom with a
wet area shower.
CAMERON BAILEY
It will also be single-storeyed
and have a digitally operated
ceiling hoist to allow a person to
move from one part of a house to
another.
Resident Josh Caldwell, 21, is
one of the potential candidates
who may take up residing in the
home.
His life changed dramatically
nearly three years ago when he
was diagnosed with transverse
myelitis, a rare auto-immune
disease which causes inflammation
in the spinal cord.
When he initially became sick,
he spent five days in a coma and
three weeks in Christchurch
Hospital’s intensive care unit
before he was transferred to
Burwood Hospital for five and a
half months.
He was discharged to St John
of God on August 9, 2016 and
has been there since.
Mr Caldwell has since started
working for the New Zealand
Spinal Trust to support people
with spinal cord injury.
He said options for people in
Christchurch are Laura Fergusson
Trust, St John of God or
retirement home.
“But someone my age . . . a
retirement home is not a really
good option,” he said.
Mr Caldwell said the tiny
home allows a good transition
back into independent living.
The cost to build the house is
estimated to be $80,000 and is
planned to be built by spring.
“We are hoping this is a model
that will be able to be expanded
or replicated,” Mrs Spoors said.
The tiny home will initially be
trialled on the St John of God
Halswell site where the resident
can still receive support from
staff while living in it.
A fundraiser will be held on
Sunday featuring jazz music
from Sam White’s Quartet to
raise money for the project.
•Jazz in the Garden will
be held at St John of God
Halswell at 26 Nash Rd on
Sunday from 5-7pm.
Testimonial
“Heather and I would like to convey to you and your personal assistants Samantha and Lisa,
our appreciation for your input and management for the marketing of the Waltham Street units.
Truly a class act – the photography and descriptions were superb, we were kept informed,
were given the opportunity to have input where appropriate, and ended up with a fantastic
result! Thank you, sincerely, and best wishes.”

Longer hours
for Halswell pool
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
HALSWELL residents calling
for the suburb’s summer pools
hours to be boosted will have
their wish granted.
The city council will trial
extending its opening hours at
the Te Hapua: Halswell Centre
Summer Pool.
It will be trialled on the basis
the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board will allocate
funding from its 2019-20 Discretionary
Response Fund towards
operating costs.
Last week a petition of 431
signatures was presented by city
councillor Anne Galloway calling
for the pool hours to be open
for longer.
Cr Galloway said while the
hours have not been finalised
yet, the pool could potentially be
open from 7am-7pm.
Currently, the pool hours are
11.30am-7pm.
Cr Galloway said the board
will look at funding up to 50 per
cent of the operating costs.
“The total amount city council
have talked about in terms of
opening the extra hours is about
$35,000,” she said.
She said these details will be
discussed with the board and
city council staff before the next
season.
“We do not want this to have
an impact on the rates, that is
the crux of the matter,” Cr
Galloway said.
Principal swaps Middleton for Hong Kong
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
WHEN RICHARD Vanderpyl
was first offered the opportunity
to become the head of a school in
Hong Kong, he turned the role
down.
Having spent 17 years at
Middleton Grange School, the
chance to lead Christian Alliance
International School in Butterfly
Valley “came out of the blue.”
The Middleton Grange
principal initially said the Upper
Riccarton school “had his
heart” and he had no reason or
incentive to leave.
But when he was approached
again a couple of weeks later by
the same recruitment company
asking him to reconsider, Mr
Vanderpyl decided to investigate
the role.
“I think for me as a Christian,
I felt this was the Lord’s calling
on my behalf. I felt the Lord was
really calling me to take up this
position,” he said.
Mr Vanderpyl, 55, will head to
Hong Kong on March 4 to start a
new life with his wife Linda.
“It was always going to be a
big change for me to do that and
I think as a Christian I just felt
really at peace,” he said.
The timing was right for a
range of reasons, he said. All four
of his children have grown up
and no longer depend on him.
“I have always thought about
it over the years – I would do
some sort of work at some stage
overseas,” he said.
EDUCATOR: Middleton Grange School principal Richard Vanderpyl speaking at the senior prizegiving
last year.
While Mr Vanderpyl has been
to Hong Kong about five times
to market Middleton Grange, his
understanding of Cantonese is
“extremely limited.”
But he said while it is
compulsory for students to learn
Mandarin, every other subject is
taught in English.
“(Christian Alliance
International School) is aimed at
the ex-pat and overseas market
. . . the teachers at the school are
predominantly from overseas,”
he said.
His role will involve overseeing
the implementation of the
newly-introduced education
programme, International
Baccalaureate, which allows
students entry to most
universities around the world.
Mr Vanderpyl has spent 33
years in the education sector
– starting out as a teacher at
Hornby High School in 1984.
He moved to Hamilton Boys’
High School in 1986 and taught
there for five years before he
became the assistant principal at
Cambridge High School.
Mr Vanderpyl has since
been an assistant principal
at Cashmere High, deputy
principal at Hillmorton High
and arrived at Middleton Grange
as a teacher in about 2001.
He has been the principal
for nine years and has a very
“strong connection” to
Middleton Grange which his
wife and four children all
previously attended.
Middleton Grange is New
Zealand’s largest evangelical
Christian school. It hopes to have
a new principal by the start of
term three.
Bromley midge problem: ‘Nothing is working’
•From page 1
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
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
Janet Profit
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.”
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.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
Safety upgrade for dangerous intersection
• By Julia Evans and Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
THE CITY’S fourth most
dangerous junction could
become a T intersection in a bid
to reduce the number of crashes.
Plans for the $1 million safety
upgrade at the Middleton, Ilam
and Riccarton Rd intersection
were revealed last week by the
city council.
Restricting
Riccarton Rd
from Middleton
Rd to left turns
in and out
only, as well as
Sue
Chamberlain
narrowing the
road to allow
more footpath
space for pedestrians has been
proposed.
It was ranked the city’s fourth
most dangerous, raking up 40
crashes with varying degree of
injury since 2011.
The intersection is known as
being difficult to navigate because
of the off-set alignment of
the three roads.
The left turn slip lanes from
Ilam Rd into Riccarton Rd
would also be removed.
The proposed changes have
received mixed views.

SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: Safety improvements are planned for the intersection of Ilam,
Middleton and Riccarton Rds.

Chamberlain said it is “crazy”
vehicles will not be able to travel
from Middleton Rd to Ilam Rd
or turn right.
She said there should be
green arrows for vehicles
looking to turn right onto
Riccarton Rd.
“They should have a green
arrow on those corners which
will fix the problem just nicely
without having to do anything
else”.
But Elite Physiotherapy, which
is located near the intersection,
owner Michelle North said it is
an “extremely dangerous” intersection
and while the changes
will be inconvenient for the business,
it will be better in the end.
Receptionist Rita Noetzel said
she will “cross her fingers” when
she turns right from Ilam Rd
onto Riccarton Rd.
“At first I thought: ‘Oh my
gosh am I doing something illegal
but it is a right turn lane . . .’ it
is just a really tricky one because
there is no kind of turning lane,”
she said.
Her views were backed by
Central Riccarton Residents’ Association
chairwoman Joscelyne
Silcock, who said she dreads
driving out of Middleton Rd to
turn right onto Riccarton Rd.
But Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board deputy
chairwoman Helen Broughton
said she was concerned there
might be an “overload” of projects
on Riccarton Rd.
She said there is an argument
the project would need to be
done in conjunction with the
NorWest Arc Major Cycle Route.
The major Riccarton Rd
roadworks are due to begin this
month and the city council is
currently out for public consultation
on the South Express Major
Cycle Route – which will run
through Riccarton.
The intersection upgrades will
enable it to have facilities for
the cycleway including crossing
signals.
Public consultation will
run until March 11. For more
information on the changes

Petition fails to save
Eastgate Kiwibank
• By Matt Slaughter
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.”
CLOSED: A bid to re-open Kiwibank in the Eastgate Shopping
Centre was unsuccessful.

Help former refugees feel at home
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.
Refugee support volunteers
have found the role to be a

Fire rages, homes at risk
Weeds beside
railway line
being cleared
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ACTION HAS been taken to
clean up the weeds next to the
train tracks adjacent to Carmen
Rd.
The city council began clearing
away the overgrown grass on
Saturday to remove any potential
fire risk in the short term.
Greater Hornby Residents’ Association
member Mark Peters
said it was a positive outcome
for the site and it is long overdue.
He said hopefully KiwiRail
will keep it maintained in the
long-run.
KiwiRail previously told
Western News it has advised the
leaseholder and is working with
them to get it sorted as soon as
possible.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Installing fire
protection
system forces
tunnel closure
LYTTELTON TUNNEL will
be closed on three consecutive
nights from Sunday in order to
install a multi-million dollar fire
protection system.
The closures are required in
order to install and carry out
testing of a new $29 million fire
protection system in the tunnel.
The NZ Transport Agency
has planned to close the tunnel
between 11pm and 4am on February
24, 25 and 26.
The tunnel will open to traffic
for 10min on the hour each of
these nights. Outside of these
times, only emergency vehicle
access will be available.
NZTA senior project manager
Chris Collins said work on the
project will be completed in
April.
“Installing the new fire protection
system often involves
working in confined spaces.
Single and full tunnel traffic lane
closures are critical to successfully
completing this important
project. To minimise their
impact, they are timed for late at
night and in the early hours of
the morning when tunnel traffic
is at its lightest,” he said.

Complaints over pathway bottleneck

CONSTRUCTION of the
Christchurch Yacht Club’s new

Pedestrians have been forced
to walk on the shore side of the
road due to the pathway on the
other side of the road being
closed after the 2011 earthquakes.
This section of the coastal
pathway has been a source of
danger in the past with a pedestrian
being struck by a drink

before falling to Jordan Edwards
2-6, 2-6.
There was also success for former
Cashmere premier women’s

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.”
For more information on getting started in IT, see
visioncollege.ac.nz or phone 0800 834 834. The
programme allows for flexible study and University
Entrance (UE) is not required to begin studying.
Upcoming intakes are scheduled to start
March 4, 2019.

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

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.”
