Freedom 

camping 

issues 

back in 

Burnside 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

FREEDOM camping problems 

have flared up again in Burnside. 

Residents have been contacting 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald over the increased 

number of campers using 

Burnside Park. 

Concerns have been raised 

self-contained vehicles are staying 

at the park for more than two 

days in a row – going against the 

city council’s rules. 

Under the city council’s 

Freedom Camping Bylaw, selfcontained 

vehicles can stay for 

up to two nights within a 30 day 

period. 

But a city council spokeswoman 

said no breaches of the bylaw have 

been confirmed. 

It was made aware of the issue 

on February 26 and compliance 

officers have been on site to 

respond to the complaints. 

Mr MacDonald said if freedom 

campers are staying at the park, 

they need to be operating within 

the rules that exist.

THOUSANDS OF people will be 

pounding the pavements and roads at the 

annual City2Surf on Sunday. 

It’s Christchurch’s iconic event, which 

The Star has put on for decades. 

This year it will be the 45th time the event has been held. It 

used to go from the Square out to QE II, but a certain event on 

February 22, 2011, changed all of that. 

It now goes from Centennial Park and Hansen Park to 

Ferrymead. 

Each year there is a buzz as thousands gather in the parks 

for the challenge that lies ahead – whether it be going as fast 

as you can, or simply completing the journey for personal 

satisfaction. 

On page 11 today, we talk to some of the people taking part.

Campbell, MacDonald clash 

over board meeting cancellation 

Online post 

‘seriously 

appalling’ 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

HIGH-PROFILE community 

board members Sam MacDonald 

and Aaron Campbell are at 

loggerheads again. 

This time it is over Mr 

MacDonald, who is the 

chairman, cancelling the 

fortnightly Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

meeting, which was scheduled 

for yesterday, due to a lack of 

items on the agenda. 

In a post online, Mr Campbell 

said: “Obviously that is not good, 

elected members are well-paid 

and residents deserve engaged 

politicians.” 

Mr MacDonald hit back, 

telling Nor’West News it was 

“seriously appalling” for him 

to effectively say the board is 

wasting ratepayers’ money. 

“We have never seen the need 

to meet for the sake of meeting, 

Aaron Campbell 

we are outcomes focused . . . for 

him to say something like that 

is just bizarre,” Mr MacDonald 

said. 

The board had planned to 

discuss removing a cycle lane 

and path outside Burnside 

High and Christ The King 

schools. However, city council 

staff needed to collect more 

information before presenting a 

report. 

But the board was scheduled 

to meet yesterday to discuss its 

Sam MacDonald 

submission on the Annual Plan. 

It is not the first time there 

has been tension between Mr 

Campbell and Mr MacDonald. 

Mr Campbell previously asked 

for a liquor ban at Elmwood 

Park, which Mr MacDonald 

said was not supported by the 

board. 

A notice of motion to remove 

Mr Campbell as deputy 

chairman of the board last year 

was accepted by city council chief 

executive Karleen Edwards. Mr 

Campbell lost the position after 

speaking out of turn about water 

issues at a city council meeting. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

members are paid $22,841 

annually, and the chairman is 

paid $45,681. 

“That is big bucks so you have 

a right to know what we are 

doing,” Mr Campbell said. 

Mr MacDonald said there 

was no need for yesterday’s 

fortnightly meeting. 

“The public detests the 

sentiment of more and more 

council meetings at their cost, 

the majority of our board are 

professionals who don’t feel the 

need to sit around talking in 

circles for hours on end.” 

However, Mr Campbell said 

the board meeting would have 

given members an opportunity 

to receive correspondence, hear 

deputations and bring up issues 

in their area. 

Mr MacDonald revealed last 

month he will be running for a 

seat on the city council in the 

Waimairi Ward. 

Mr Campbell is still 

considering whether he will run 

for city council.

PUMP STATION WORK 

The city council has done 

a topographical survey 

around the Jeffreys Pump 

Station compound in Jeffreys 

Reserve, Fendalton. The work 

was part of the early design 

phase for the replacement 

water tank. It established 

the location of the existing 

services so the design and 

construction of the new tank 

will be accurate. 

RUGBY CLUB GRANT 

The Burnside Rugby Football 

Club received a $6792 

grant from the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board to go 

towards relining the clay 

sewer line which extends 

from the club through to the 

boundary of Burnside Park. 

The club requested $13,584. 

PLAYGROUND FEEDBACK 

Feedback is open on a plan to 

renew Northcote’s Paddington

Veterinary practice 

A PATIENT WITH A BIG HEART 

Meet “Lucy”, a courageous 3 year old Staffy 

cross who in the past 6 weeks has overcome 

many hurdles, but still has a wee way to go. 

I first met Lucy at the end of January as a 

second opinion. She had been intermittently 

unwell for the past month with swallowing 

difficulties, coughing, lethargy , pain and 

intermittent extremely high temperatures. A 

weird clinical picture. She had short courses 

of antibiotics and anti inflamatories but still 

appeared painful and lethargic and was 

deteriorating. 

When I first met Lucy, her painfulness struck 

me first. I see many uncomfortable patients, 

but Lucy was different. She never verbalized 

her pain but she was 

incredibly tucked up in 

the abdomen, walking 

slowly and stilted and her 

face wore all the pain. She 

was brave and lovely to 

treat but it was horrible 

for me to see her in that 

much pain. She was 

admitted for a full blood 

work up, sufficient pain 

medications, intravenous 

fluids and xrays.. 

We got no conclusive 

results back from Day 1. 

On paper she appeared 

healthy but she clearly 

wasn’t. Next step was an 

ultrasound with Catherine. 

Large abdominal lymph nodes measuring up 

to 7 cm long were seen dotted throughout. 

Catherine wasn’t sure if we may have a 

migrating foreign body so it was decided to 

open Lucy up. Again no conclusive results 

after her exploratory. Kirsty biopsied her 

enlarged lymph nodes as a cancerous process 

was a possibility. Again we drew blanks as the 

lymph node pathology was normal. 

Despite our best diagnostic efforts to 

find a cause for her unexplained pain and 

lethargy, we just had no answers. We were 

unsuccessfully managing her pain despite 

a myriad of treatment medications. It was 

worrying and what was worse was that Lucy 

was getting weaker in her hindquarters, 

struggling to walk or support her weight. 

A contrast CT scan At Pacific Radiology 

under sedation was the next diagnostic 

tool employed. I was very worried about 

spinal cord compression or other diseases 

affecting the disc spaces and vertebral bodies. 

Interesting findings were seen. Lucy had 

large granulomatous masses underneath 

a few lumbar vertebrae no doubt causing 

compression on her spinal cord, a contributor 

to her paralysis. Her vertebral bodies also 

looked diseased. Many huge intra-abdominal 

lymph nodes were also seen. The scanner 

likened it to findings you would see with 

Tuberculosis in a person. We also weren’t 

expecting her to develop a large pus filled 

abscess over her lumbar back that required 

surgical draining. 

Interestingly Lucy had killed 2 possums a few 

months back but after specialized diagnostic 

testing for TB on 

tissue samples 

taken we came up 

with blanks. Also 

TB hasn’t yet been 

isolated in possums 

in the Canterbury 

area although we 

did have her on 

TB medication for 

several weeks. 

As you can see this 

case is still providing 

challenges for us. 

Lucy has since 

had more surgery, 

ultrasounds, blood 

testing and referral 

consultations with specialists to try to get a 

handle on what caused her pain, CT findings 

and paralysis. Our best guess is an inhaled, 

migratory Foreign body like a grass seed, that 

traveled to beneath her spine somehow. No 

other disease process has been found. 

The UP side to this story is how Lucy 

is handling her immobility and all the 

medications she has to consume 2-3 times 

daily. She is a terrific dog that has just adapted 

to life without walking. She has a ravenous 

appetite, appears pain free and happier now 

and even wags her tail and twitches and 

withdraws her hindlegs. Her improvement is 

slow but I guess any disease involving spinal 

cord injury takes time to heal. She hasn’t given 

up and her dedicated owner hasn’t given up 

hope either. Margaret has changed her whole 

life this past month to give Lucy the chance to 

recover – working from home, learning how 

to drain a urinary catheter, managing her care 

in terms of massage, reiki, getting her into a 

wheelchair – not an easy task when you are 

dealing with a 30 kg dog! Amazingly Margaret 

has managed all her care from home, which 

is better than caged hospital care for Lucy at 

this stage. 

We all love Lucy at the clinic. We often do 

our clinical exams and treatments from the 

boot of Margarets car to avoid tiring Lucy. 

Our nurses have been patient and gentle to 

Lucy and Lucy responds positively to us. We 

are ALL hoping and praying for a full recovery.

Black Cap for 99 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ST ANDREW’S College 

batsman Rhys Mariu 

showed former Black Cap 

Hamish Marshall he’s no 

mug with the ball either

Wellington. 

Mariu, 17, was the 

lone Christchurch player

team which played the 

Governor General’s XI at 

Karori Park. 

Marshall, 40, turned 

back the clock and reached 

a half century off 36 deliveries. 

He continued his batting 

onslaught, hitting the 

Maori Schoolboys bowlers 

around the park, looking 

a shoe-in for a deserved 

tonne. However, the legspinner 

Mariu foiled his 

plans, dismissing him for 

99. Marshall played 13 

tests and 66 one-day-international 

for New Zealand 

between 2000 and 2007.

Emma’s big break in New York 

LAST YEAR’S Rangi Ruru head 

girl is about to follow in the 

footsteps of Hollywood icons. 

Emma Cushing has secured a 

place at New York University’s 

famous Tisch School of the 

Arts – a dream come true for the 

18-year-old. 

“The American thing has 

always been a bit of a dream 

and the dream bit by bit 

became reality last year; from 

the application process, to the 

audition to the email confirming 

I had a place at NYU’s Tisch 

School of the Arts,” she said 

yesterday. 

Cushing will be in great 

former company – the school 

was a stepping stone for super 

stars Anne Hathaway, Martin 

Scorsese, Spike Lee and Whoopi 

Goldberg to name a few. 

It’s all still very surreal for 

Cushing. 

“I’ve lived in Christchurch all 

my life. In fact, at the year 13 

Rangi leavers dinner last year, I 

was voted as most likely to be the 

last person to leave home,” she 

laughs. 

“Whether it’s acting or 

something else on the businessside 

of the industry, I have always 

wanted to be in the world of 

entertainment.” She has been 

learning speech and drama since 

year 3. “I really want to make a 

difference like Emma Watson, 

who I admire greatly. She uses 

her position in the world to 

speak up and to try and change 

things. Take what you love and 

use it to make change – that’s 

really important to me.” 

Cushing had to perform two 

contrasting monologues of 90sec 

each for her Tisch audition. 

PATH TO 

FAME: Emma 

Cushing 

has been 

accepted into 

the prestigious 

New York 

University 

Tisch School 

of the Arts. 

She chose a piece from Girls 

Like That by Evan Placey, 

which explores the pressures on 

young people today in the wake 

of advancing technology, and 2B 

or nt 2B by Sarah Delahunty, 

which is a modern adaptation 

of tragic characters from classic 

literature portrayed as teenagers. 

After telling her family she had 

been accepted, the next person 

she contacted was Rangi 

principal Sandra Hastie. 

“Dr Hastie was my 

mentor at school last 

year. I was so lucky to 

meet with her every week 

and discuss all sorts of 

things. We often spoke 

of my plans for 2019 and 

aspirations to apply to 

NYU Tisch,” Cushing 

said. 

“She would regularly 

look me straight in the 

eye and say ‘go for it kid’. 

She was as nervous as I. I was so 

grateful for the time and effort 

my teachers put in to help me 

during the application process. 

Rangi Ruru has played such an 

important role in where I find 

myself now.” 

Cushing leaves to start her 

studies in New York in late 

August. She credits Crimson 

Education career pathway 

consultant, Kristen Fox, for 

helping her get to New York. 

“Kristen was a big part of how 

I got here. She had access to all 

the information I needed for the 

application process, the audition, 

and even now she’s there if I need 

her.” 

Rangi provides access for 

its students looking at career 

pathways to Crimson Education.

A NEW wetland featuring 

thousands of native trees and

The wetland is part of the new

Pedestrians and cyclists will

The ecology-focused development

wetland ensures a balance between 

storm water requirements 

and biodiversity. 

“A wetland acts as the ‘kidney’ 

of the natural habitat, removing 

storm water contaminants and 

improving the environs, while 

also helping to manage the flood 

risk,” he said. It is part of moves 

to manage upstream development,

SERVED: Jorja Shearman, 10, was served the 30 millionth KickStart Breakfast by champion shot 

putter Tom Walsh. 

Breakfast from a champion 

• By Matt Slaughter 

TOM WALSH may not have 

been the champion shot putter 

he is today if he hadn’t eaten 

breakfast. 

Shirley Primary School pupils 

were delighted last week when 

Walsh served them up Weet-Bix 

as part of the KickStart Breakfast 

programme, which has served 30 

million breakfasts over the last 

10 years to Kiwi kids. 

Jorja Shearman, 10, was the 

lucky pupil to revive the 30 millionth. 

The school has been part of the 

programme since 2015 and was 

the only school to have Walsh 

make a special visit. 

Deputy principal Jo Meyrick 

said the pupils didn’t know how 

to react when Walsh greeted 

them at the breakfast counter. 

“They were super excited. I 

think they didn’t really know 

what to expect.” 

Mrs Meyrick said Walsh joined 

pupils at the breakfast table and 

talked about what he ate for 

breakfast. She said the pupils 

were left with full tummies and a 

spark of inspiration. 

“I actually think the kids 

have really taken on board 

that breakfast is really, really 

important and, if you’re a 

sporting type, it’s a cool thing 

to do. Said Walsh said: “It’s 

awesome to see the positive 

effect that a healthy, nutritious 

meal can have on the kids 

performance both in the 

classroom and also in their daily 

lives.”

MONITORING: The city council has been monitoring freedom 

campers at Burnside Park after complaints from residents. 

Freedom campers 

at Burnside Park 

•From page 1 

“I don’t want to see that [Burnside 

Park] become a freedom 

camping hub in the city. That 

would not be acceptable,” he said. 

Mr MacDonald said the number 

of freedom campers 

using the park has only 

become noticeable in the 

past couple of weeks. 

The city council has 

had three complaints in 

the last year relating to 

freedom camping issues 

at the site. 

But Burnside Rugby 

Football Club rugby 

manager Brent Frew said 

the park had no more of an 

issue with freedom camping than 

anywhere else. 

He said the main problem is the 

campers will leave their rubbish 

in bags next to the rugby club’s 

locked tip because there are no 

rubbish bins at the park. 

“I would think six nights a 

week there is freedom campers . . 

. a year ago you wouldn’t have got 

anybody,” Mr Frew said. 

Sam 

MacDonald 

About a year ago, it was reported 

freedom campers were 

upsetting residents by parking 

outside the Waimairi Cemetery 

on Grahams Rd. Mr MacDonald 

said the city council’s enforcement 

team continually 

monitored the issue and 

the problem went away. 

He did not think the 

freedom campers had 

shifted from Grahams Rd 

to Burnside Park. 

But both Mr Frew 

and Mr MacDonald 

suspected the increase 

in freedom campers was 

due to the park being 

close to the Christchurch 

International Airport and rental 

car companies. 

In 2016, the city council 

changed its Freedom Camping 

Bylaw to ban campers without 

toilets from council-owned land.

CBHS on path to winning Maadi 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School’s coxed eight are in the 

hunt to add their name to the 

Maadi Cup for the first time in 

history after storming to victory 

at the South Island secondary 

school championships. 

The CBHS under-18 coxed 

eight won their final major 

hit out on Lake Karapiro in 

commanding fashion ahead of 

the Maadi regatta, which starts 

on Monday. 

A tail wind helped them 

finish in a blistering time of 

5min 51.77sec, more than 14sec 

ahead of defending Maadi Cup 

champions Christ’s College in 

second. 

In terms of national sporting 

achievements, there’s not much 

CBHS hasn’t done. 

However, they are yet to win 

the Maadi Cup. 

“We’re all aware of that. They 

got close in 1999 . . . we’re lucky 

this year that we have a big 

group of year 13s. We haven’t 

necessarily said this is our target, 

but if they go fast in something 

then we’ll make it a target,” said 

CBHS rowing coach Logan Keys. 

Now in his eighth year with 

the programme, Keys said the 

group of 61 rowers is the largest 

the school has had in his time. 

“They got a little bit of a taste 

CONTENDERS: The CBHS and Rangi Ruru (top right) coxed eight crews will head to Maadi Cup 

on a high after the South Island secondary school championships . PHOTOS: STEVE MCARTHUR 

of it last year and they’ve all 

hung around,” said Keys. 

“We started with two eights. 

We had 16 guys going for it 

and have spent all year trying 

to whittle it down. We haven’t 

quite got there yet, but it’s getting 

pretty close . . . in previous years, 

we might only have had eight 

guys.” 

The eight of Scott Shackleton, 

Tom Fraser, Cameron Long, 

Ethan Alderlieste, Cameron 

Henderson, Angus Templeton, 

James Glover, Ben Brown and 

Timothy Heritage (cox) won 

one of eight gold medals for 

CBHS – making them the most 

successful boys’ school at the 

South Island regatta. 

CBHS also won the boys 

under-18 coxed four which will 

have them in contention for the 

Springbok Shield – contested 

SPORT 

at the Maadi regatta – they 

narrowly missed out on last 

year. 

Rangi Ruru was the top girls’ 

school with four gold, six silver 

and three bronze medals. 

“The crews can be pleased 

with their achievements this 

weekend and should pat 

themselves on the back for their 

efforts. The coaches, parents 

and management are in awe of 

them,” said Rangi Ruru rowing 

manager Ella Vink. 

Meanwhile, St Margaret’s will 

go into the Maadi regatta as the 

South Island favourites in the 

Jubilee Cup after winning the 

girls under-18 coxed eight at the 

weekend.

Church rebuild gets under way 

• By Matt Slaughter 

A CHURCH is being rebuilt in 

Richmond. 

North Avon Baptist Church 

was damaged beyond repair 

in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The new church will be a 

shared space between the North 

Avon Baptist Church and the 

Delta Community Support 

Trust. 

Delta’s old building on North 

Avon Rd will be demolished and 

replaced with a new church for 

Crossway Community Church. 

The work is part of a $5.8 

million project to develop a 

large-scale spiritual facility, 

which will stretch from 99 to 105 

North Avon Rd and be used for 

both worship and community 

activities. 

North Avon Baptist Church 

treasurer Tim Weir said this 

was so the three communityfocused 

organisations could 

work together and improve the 

way they served the Richmond 

community. 

“We decided that due to the 

age of the buildings and the 

number of repairs required 

that it was actually more cost 

effective to rebuild, but we 

couldn’t do that alone . . . We 

realised we could get a much 

better facility for the wider

community if we worked 

together. It really is about 

providing the best facilities for 

the whole community and also 

about church communities 

working together across 

denominations.” North Avon 

Baptist Church senior pastor 

Mary Allan said she and its 

members were excited to see 

work underway on the project 

after years of challenges after the 



earthquakes. “I think people are 

happy and relieved and looking 

forward to a new future.” 

Work is on track for the entire 

project to be completed by late

Who’s taking part in the 

It’s the 45th anniversary 

of the Star Media 

City2Surf. Reporter 

Anan Zaki spoke to 

some of the participants 

aiming to be at the start 

line on Sunday 

Aaron Cooper, 43 

Mr Cooper is set to take part 

in his first City2Surf and will do 

the 14km race. 

“I just want to keep fit and test 

the legs on running the distance.” 

Mr Cooper plans to run a 

half marathon 

(21km) – which 

is on his bucket 

list – and 

believes this is a 

step towards the 

goal. 

“It’s the 

Aaron Cooper 

first time I’m 

running 14km. 

I’m a surfer, 

I’m not really a runner. I used 

to play rugby until I was 21 . . 

. and, yeah, it [running] is just 

something I’ve always wanted to 

do,” he said. 

Mr Cooper’s wife often takes 

part in multi-sport events but 

she will greet him at the finish 

line as the couple have two young 

children. 

“When she gets fit, we’ll 

definitely be doing other races as 

a team,” he said. 

David Clark, 

29 

Taking part in 

the 14km event, 

Mr Clark is 

looking for a new 

challenge. It will 

be his second 

David Clark time entering the 

City2Surf. 

“It’s just a wee challenge to just 

test myself for a bit of fitness,” he 

said. 

“[The first time] was good. I 

want to try something further, I 

did the 6km [last year] and want 

to try the 14km.” 

He has been training hard 

for the event and says he will be 

ready for the race on March 24. 

NEWBIE: Hailey McConchie will be running in her first 

City2Surf this year. 

“Currently I’m doing it myself 

but we’ll see if my partner does it. 

That will be just a wait and see.” 

Hailey McConchie, 25 

The mother of two used to be 

focus on body building, but since 

having her second child last year, 

she’s switched to running. 

It will be her first City2Surf. 

“I’ve never been a runner. 

People who tend to lift weight do 

not like cardio whatsoever,” Mrs 

McConchie said. 

To lose weight after pregnancy, 

she took up running. “I’ve lost a 

lot of my baby weight . . . I started 

an eight-week challenge and lost 

about 6kg,” she said. 

Getting into running was 

difficult. 

“At first it felt like a long time 

to get running, even that first 

kilometre. It felt like ages,” Mrs 

McConchie said. 

She will be taking part in the 

6km event. “Every time I see a 

race I just enrol myself and just 

build myself in it.” 

Mrs McConchie has heard 

great things about the City2Surf 

but couldn’t take part in it last 

year as she had just given birth to 

her second child a month before 

the event. “I’d like to keep my 

running up [this year]. It’s not 

something I really enjoy but once 

I find my rhythm 2-3km in, that’s 

when I can see why some people 

are addicted to running,” she 

said. 

Kelly Clements, 46 

Mrs Clements 

doesn’t live 

far from the 

start line near 

Centennial Park. 

She says the 

City2Surf is a 

good excuse to 

Kelly 

Clements 

not pay for a gym 

membership. 

“It’s just my 

one thing that makes me head 

out and train each year. It’s 

not too far being only 14km. 

Rather than paying for a gym 

membership, I sign up and it 

makes me run,” Mrs Clements 

said. 

This will be her fourth 

consecutive City2Surf. “A friend 

got me into running and it was 

that whole give it a go, it’s a 

reasonably flat course and lots of 

fun,” she said. 

Unfortunately her friend 

Learn 

has rolled her ankle and Mrs 

Clements will be running the 

event solo for the first time. 

“I’ll be on my own but that 

doesn’t matter because it’s so well 

set up you don’t really care, you 

just run. 

“I haven’t stopped [training] 

all year but I probably stepped 

up distances in the last six weeks. 

There might have been a few 5km 

runs but I stepped it up to a few 

10km.” 

Nory Lansing, 28 

Being a personal trainer, 

Ms Lansing has many friends 

and clients taking part in the 

City2Surf. 

“I’m a runner 

in general, I 

always like a 

challenge in a 

run. Living in 

Christchurch, 

it’s part of the 

routine here,” 

she said. 

It’s her second 

time doing the City2Surf. “ 

It was good fun [last year]

Kristyn Ferry and Simon 

Bradshaw 

Simon Bradshaw, 30 

Mr Bradshaw was 

convinced by his partner 

Kristyn Ferry to take part in 

the 14km event. 

“She did it last year and 

enjoyed it and this year she’s 

going to do it again. She said 

she’d like me to do it with her 

and I said why not.” 

“She’s doing it more for a 

social, keep fit aspect than it is for 

a competitive aspect. So I’ve got 

the same kind of idea to be doing 

it to keep fit and healthy rather 

than making the top 10,” he said. 

Mr Bradshaw trains most days. 

He has never entered a running 

event before. 

“I think I’ll be a bit nervous on 

the day [of the race]. Just nervous 

trying to get to the end,” Mr 

Bradshaw said. 

Seamus Tredinnick, 30 

Running in the 6km event, Mr 

Tredinnick, who is a keen sailor, 

will be returning 

to the event 

for the second 

consecutive year. 

“My wife [Emily] 

is a keen runner 

and has done a 

few marathons 

so she’ll be doing 

the 14km run,” 

he said. 

“Basically, at 

Seamus 

Tredinnick 

least if I sign up for an event, it 

gives me a bit of motivation to 

work towards to getting me out 

and running, which is probably a 

good thing,” Mr Tredinnick said. 

“When you’ve got a peg in 

the ground it’s easier to move 

towards that goal,” he said. 

Mr Tredinnick’s goal is to 

finish the event.

Baby gear to hire or buy 

The arrival of a new baby in the family is exciting for 

everyone, and it’s a time when special things are 

needed to keep baby safe, comfortable and happy. 

Offering a wide selection of baby gear for hire and sale, Baby on 

the Move in Wairakei Road is the specialty store where parents and 

grandparents will find quality products for baby, right from birth, 

including infant capsules for babies up to six months old, car seats, 

portacots, regular cots, buggies and toys. 

The child restraints that are hired are well-known brands and 

are well-maintained, with every customer receiving personalised 

service at Baby on the Move. 

As qualified child restraint technicians, business owner Jane and 

her two staff members will advise on hiring the correct capsule or 

car seat for the type of car and the customer’s lifestyle, explain how 

to use it, and fit it into the vehicle. 

Correct installation of the car seat is vital, while having enough 

leg-room for the front-seat passenger is also important, Jane says. 

“Our short-term car-seat hire is popular with grandparents, who 

have family visiting,” she says, “and they often pick up their hired 

seat on their way to the airport. We have many repeat customers 

who use this service and we get good feedback on it. 

“Installation of carseats hired or purchased from Baby On The 

Move is always free,” Jane adds. 

Baby on the Move was established in New Zealand more than 20 

years ago, and the Wairakei Road store is one of two in Christchurch. 

It is located at 515 Wairakei Road, close to Roydvale Avenue.

award 

winning Bakery 



A bakery for all occasions 

where shopping and parking is easy 

ADVERTORIAL 

From humble beginnings in 1986, the awardwinning 

family business Kidds Cakes & Bakery has 

grown to become one of the city’s most well-known 

outlets for freshly baked treats and decorated cakes. 

Located on the Cranford Street-Innes Road corner 

since 1987, they moved into their spacious, new 

two-storey building five years ago, after their previous 

premises were damaged in the earthquakes. 

Roadworks around the intersection over the last 

two years have presented further challenges for the 

business, but as owner Martin Meehan explains, “Our 

34 off-street car parks have saved the day.” 

These have meant that customers have been 

able to easily park and purchase the delicious pies, 

savouries, cakes and cookies – all freshly baked on 

the premises seven days a week. 

Kidds Cakes & Bakery won the prestigious New 

Zealand Bakery of the Year Award in 2010, have 

won the best Hot Cross Buns in New Zealand Award 

twice, as well as a number of Gold Medals over the 

years in the New Zealand Pie contests. 

Among their other specialties are decorated 

wedding cakes, and customised special occasion 

cakes, which often look too good to cut up, Martin 

says. 

“They are really 

edible works of art.” 

They also 

pioneered 

photo cakes in 

Christchurch after 

seeing them at a 

bakery conference 

in the United States, 

and these have proved popular. 

“For some customers, it means a lot to have a 

photo cake for a special occasion, and for us it’s good 

to be part of people’s lives,” Martin says. 

“We also still make a lot of the old favourites, 

like jelly sponges, cream horns, sponge drops and 

Battenberg cakes. People want them, so we are 

happy to make what they want.” 

The on-site café is another popular feature of 

Kidds Cakes & Bakery. It is open for breakfast from 

7am-2pm, and lunch from 11am-2pm, with the two 

qualified chefs creating a tasty selection of dishes. A 

wide choice of cabinet food is also available. 

The clientele includes families and many regular 

customers, who have also become friends with each 

other through meeting there, Martin says. They enjoy 

the café’s relaxed environment, while 

the outdoor courtyard and play area 

for children are an added bonus. 

Seating 60 people, the café is also 

available for small functions. 

The need for innovation in the face 

of the roadworks disruption has seen 

Kidds Cakes & Bakery recently signing 

up to Uber Eats, and they now have a 

liquor licence for the café. 

“We also now wholesale our pies to 

other outlets, and this has been good 

for us,” Martin says, “and we offer 

catering packs for office shouts.” 

Martin’s son Chad is now managing 

the family-run business, and they are 

all looking forward to the day the roadworks are 

finished, “hopefully by October”.

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

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

More health benefits 

with Advanced 

Omega-3-PC Fish Oil 

It is well known how important omega-3 

fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated 

most people don’t even get a third of the 

recommended omega-3 fatty acids on 

a weekly basis. Countries with a higher 

amounts of omega-3 in the diet are known 

to have lower cardiovascular disease and 

in many cases better overall health. Recent 

research has shown inflammation to be a 

big part of disease and the ageing process. 

Fish oil can help reduce inflammation by 

providing essential fatty acids required by 

the body to heal itself and maintain good 

health. Fish oil supplements have become 

hugely popular for this reason. Until now 

most fish oil only contained omega-3 fatty 

acids in triglyceride form. Fish however 

naturally contain omega-3 in 

triglyceride and phospholipid 

form but until recently the 

phospholipid form was lost due to 

the manufacturing process. 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA- 

3-PC sets new standards in 

fish oil as it contains omega-3 

attached to both triglycerides and 

phospholipids. Studies have shown 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC to 

be far better absorbed leading to 

increased levels of vital omega-3 

fatty acids in the organs thru giving 

the potential for more health benefits. 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-3-PC is 

produced from fresh wild deep sea cold 

water fish using a new advanced and more 

natural cold extraction process that better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile found 

in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP 

standards and is molecularly distilled to 

remove any containments, toxins and 

heavy metals like mercury. 

Further information on this 

revolutionary new fish oil and how it may 

benefit you is available from the Natural 

Health Advisers, at Marshall’s Health & 

Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always 

happy to help! 

Modern diet leads to illness! 

It’s not what you eat but what you absorb 

Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen 

and Shane noticed at the end of the 20th 

century more and more of their patients 

were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive 

issues that were often leading to more 

serious chronic health conditions. Being 

Naturopaths they wanted to find what was 

going wrong and began extensive research. 

What they found was although their clients 

were generally eating good food they were 

not obtaining all the nutrients required for 

good health from this food. Further research 

showed one of the main problems was the 

digestive system, “it’s not what you eat but 

what you absorb.” Another well-known 

problem is the soils the crops are grown in 

have been depleted of many trace elements 

and other nutrients that are known to be 

essential for good health and therefore the 

crops and food are also depleted. If we do 

not obtain all the nutrients we require the 

body will compensate to some degree but 

a lack of too many nutrients will eventually 

lead to health issues. 

Based on this they 

developed VITAL 

GREENS, now call 

VITAL ALL-IN- 

ONE, a nutrient dense 

powdered formula 

that provides superior 

absorption as well 

as comprehensive 

nutrition. They 

decided on a 

powdered formula 

that could be made 

as a great tasting drink because liquid 

nutrition is the easiest way for the body 

to absorb nutrients especially if digestive 

issues are present. The formula provides 

78 vital ingredients that work together in 

synergy optimising each other’s absorption 

and benefits. Vital Greens contains a 

carefully balanced blend of nutritionally 

rich greens, vegetables, fruits, minerals, 

vitamins, essential fatty acids, plant and 

herbal extracts, superfoods, powerful 

antioxidants, probiotics, essential amino 

acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a 

uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides 

superior nutrition to a multivitamin and 

just about anyone will benefit from it. It is 

designed to provide all the nutrients the 

body requires for good health. It is also ideal 

for those in poor health, those recovering 

from injury or sickness, children, athletes, 

poor eaters and the elderly. It is also suitable 

for people with dietary restrictions and is 

gluten, wheat and dairy free. VITAL ALL- 

IN-ONE will help remove toxic waste from 

the body while supporting all organs. You’ll 

often notice more energy and endurance, 

better sleep, a more positive mood, 

skin problems improving, less sickness, 

improved eyesight and overall better more 

optimum health. 

Further information and how to obtain 

the maximum benefits from VITAL ALL- 

IN-ONE as well as tastings is available 

from the Natural Health Advisers at 

Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 

101 Seaview Road, New Brighton, Phone: 

388-5757. We are always happy to help! 

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal! 

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good 

Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used! 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL! 

Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally 

contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the 

manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with 

increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits. 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS: 

• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as 

shown in research 

• Advanced new cold extraction better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile 

found in fish 

• Naturally contains phospholipids to 

support cellular health 

• Contains vitamin D3 to support immune, 

bone & cardiovascular health 

• Supports cardiovascular health - Countries with 

a higher Omega-3 intake have much lower rates 

of heart disease 

• Supports blood circulation, healthy cholesterol & 

healthy blood pressure 

• Supports joint health, joint mobility & repair 

• Supports overall health & wellbeing 

• Natural anti-inflammatory - can help reduce pain

HOME & HEATING 

The facts about 

Home 

Ventilation 

Balanced Pressure 

vs Positive Pressure 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Are you struggling with the heat of 

Summer or wanting to get organised for 

Winter? With the ever changing weather 

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility 

of being able to heat and cool which is an 

advantage no other appliance can offer. This 

represents great value for your investment 

as you can use it all year round. The team 

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you 

cool this Summer either at home or work. 

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services 

all the leading brands including Panasonic, 

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means 

our team can show you which system and 

brand will best suit your needs. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the 1st of 

July deadline. Inadequate heating and 

ventilation can lead to mould growth and 

dampness in your property, leading to 

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy 

living environment. Providing a fixed 

heater with a higher heat output and lower 

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable 

your tenants to heat the area effectively. 

It will also discourage them from using 

unflued gas heaters which can make a 

house damp and mouldy. 

It is important to remember, when 

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover the installation 

and consumers could be responsible for 

any repair or damage caused to the system 

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s 

five-star installation guarantee ensures 

correct installation, and a demonstration 

so customers have an understanding on 

how it will best meet their needs. 

For a free in home consultation, call 

Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our 

showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd, 

Waltham, Christchurch. 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need 

to be suitably ventilated, either with 

opening windows or forced ventilation. 

Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this 

provision is to safeguard people from 

illness or loss of amenity due to lack of 

fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced, 

or mechanical, ventilation over opening 

windows, including warmth, security, 

reduction of outside noises and reduction 

of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in 

from outside via the roof space and force 

the stale air out through gaps around 

windows and doors. The incoming air 

from these systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm in winter or 

cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced 

pressure’ system. It extracts air from the 

house and at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air pass through 

a heat exchanger, which warms incoming 

air in winter and cools in summer if air 

conditioning is being used. This means that 

up to 80% of the energy which would be 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating 

or cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure 

ventilation systems have been considerably 

more expensive than traditional positive 

pressure systems. However, with Smooth- 

Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a 

HEX390 balanced pressure system can be 

installed for a similar price as a traditional 

positive pressure system.

REAL ESTATE 

An elevation sensation 

52 Morgans Valley, Heathcote 

Auction: Thursday, 21 March 2019 Unless Sold Prior 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0170 

Considerably sized and displaying modern 

finishes this impeccably styled home rises 

above the rest and offers unparalleled views 

from the highest position in Morgans Valley. 

The sizeable 2717m 2 site and its favourable 

microclimate location deliver outstanding 

peace and serenity with the exceptional 

outlook stretching from the hillside across to 

the city and out to the Southern Alps. 

Drawing on the contemporary aesthetic 

of the exterior, the interior of the home is 

streamlined and modern, with an exquisite 

kitchen and expansive open plan living area 

found at its heart. 

Granite benchtops, an entertainer’s oven and 

a breakfast bar ensure the kitchen is equally 

practical and eye-pleasing while a second 

lounge provides an alternative living area and 

contributes great flexibility for families. 

Tremendous gallery windows drench 

the home in natural light and capture the 

captivating vista, and when the sun is shining, 

you can soak up this scene and the sunshine 

from the balcony or private outdoor setting. 

Arranged over three floors and hosting a 

total of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the 

upper level is naturally devoted to the master 

suite which features a walk-in wardrobe and 

ensuite. 

Also forming part of the floor plan is a 

separate laundry, an internal access garage 

with storage and two heat pumps which offer 

comfort and convenience. 

Situated in the calming environment of 

Heathcote Valley by Heathcote Valley school, 

it’s an easy drive from Lyttelton Port and 

various coastal suburbs, and the CBD is less 

than 20 minutes’ drive away. This property 

also provides a large back section which is 

a blank canvas for growing fruit trees or for 

those garden lovers wishing to potter away. 

The vendors are firmly committed to selling, 

and their immaculately presented home is 

destined for a change of ownership.
