Gymnast goes global 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

EMERGING GYMNAST Anna 

Taylor lives her life to a tight 

schedule. 

When the 17-year-old is not 

busy studying with the aim of 

passing NCEA with excellence, 

she spends the majority of her 

time outside of school training in 

rhythmic gymnastics. 

But a brutal schedule requiring 

the Riccarton High School 

student to spend 28 hours a week 

training, has paid off. The threetime 

New Zealand gymnastics 

champion has been selected for 

the International Gymnastics 

Tour. •Turn to page 4

Freedom 

camping 

issues 

back in 

Burnside 


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’ 


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.

Taking on the world 

McMaster & Heap 

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. 

Follow us on FB to see Lucy’s progress.

Vehicles prevent building shift 


VEHICLES PARKING over 

cones placed out on several Ilam 

streets is causing problems for 

a company trying to transport 

large buildings out of the area. 

Laing Properties is in the 

process of shifting relocatable 

buildings making up the Dovedale 

and Kirkwood temporary 

villages at Canterbury 

University. 

But its operations 

manager Tim 

Pow said vehicles 

are ignoring the 

Helen 

Broughton 

cones and parking 

over or between 

them. 

“We can only do 

our best but it has always happened 

. . . if we have got cars all 

down the street it slows us down. 

It probably takes us two hours to 

get out of the street. If there are 

no cars it takes 40 minutes,” he 

said. 

Mr Pow said the cones need to 

be laid out to stop cars parking 

on the streets when it is shifting 

8m x 8m buildings. Buildings 

this size are unable to get past 

the parked vehicles on the street. 

He said as soon as there is a 

vehicle in the way, the building 

has to be lifted over the car, or 

the company has to stop and ask 

residents to move their vehicle – 

which slows the process down. 

Cones are often placed on 

streets including Dovedale Ave, 

Solway Ave, Brodie St, Corfe St 

and Yaldhurst Rd. 

Meanwhile, it has been revealed 

there are no rules in the 

city’s District Plan to regulate the 

relocation of large buildings. 

The issue was brought to light 

after a complaint was made by 

a Parkstone Ave resident when 

Laing Properties shifted a large 

building at 1.16am on January 

25. A Canterbury University 

spokeswoman said a communications 

and engagement 

programme was held notifying 

residents the buildings would be 

shifted last year. 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board deputy chairwoman 

Helen Broughton said 

she would have thought the lack 

of notification on the movement 

at 1.16am would have breached 

a rule in the District Plan. But a 

city council spokeswoman said 

under the plan once a vehicle 

is moving and driving onto the 

roadway it is exempt from the 

noise section of the District Plan. 

Mr Pow said it wouldn’t 

normally notify residents if it 

was moving a specific building 

– as it had already shifted about 

OBSTRUCTION: 

Vehicles parking 

over cones 

placed out on 

Ilam streets 

is causing 

problems for a 

company trying 

to transport large 

buildings out of 

the area. 

20 classrooms along the street 

already. 

He said most buildings are 

shifted after 10pm as required 

under the New Zealand Transport 

Agency rules. It occasionally 

has to move buildings in the 

early hours of the morning. 

In the case of the complaint, 

the driver was required to take 

the building down to Temuka 

and build the foundations in the 

same day. 

Because the driver is only 

allowed to work 14 hours – the 

building needed to be shifted out 

at 1am to give the driver enough 

time to get to Temuka.

Don’t put up with back pain 

Helping people with back pain and 

other spinal issues is behind Southern 

Chiropractic owner Andre Grob’s 

career choice. 

Andre has 18 years of experience 

treating people with a range of 

back problems and has a deep 

understanding of the value and 

benefits that a professional 

chiropractor can 

offer clients who 

are suffering from 

back pain. 

A high percentage 

of the patients 

Andre treats 

at Southern 

Chiropractic in 

Halswell suffer 

from lower back 

and neck pain, 

followed closely 

by mid back pain. 

Some pain such 

as headaches or shoulder pain can 

be referred from the spine and it is all 

about finding and treating the source 

of the pain, says Andre. 

He offers hands-on manipulation of 

the spine but also soft tissue massage 

which some patients prefer. He also 

uses laser treatment to assist with the 

traditional approach and an activator 

instrument that 

can be used for 

more precise 

adjustment of the 

spine. 

Chiropractic 

treatment not only 

relieves pain but, 

when patients are 

seen regularly, it 

can also help their 

overall wellness 

and health. 

“When clients first 

come to the clinic 

I find out about what the problems is. 

The aim is to treat the pain and make 

them more comfortable.” Once the 

patient’s better, he says it is then up to 

them to decide if they want to continue 

with further and ongoing treatment 

that suits their individual needs. 

Chiropractic treatments are listed 

overseas as among the top most 

beneficial natural therapies, providing 

a holistic approach to treating back 

pain, says Andre. 

“It’s all about what’s best for the 

individual client and giving them the 

time and care that they need. No 

matter what your age I can help with 

your back pain.” 

So if you are experiencing back pain,

Hello Hornby attracts thousands 



ORGANISERS OF the Hello 

Hornby party in the park were 

“blown away” by its success. 

Thousands of residents 

turned out for the second 

annual community event at 

Wycola Park. 

The Harcourts Hornbysponsored 

event was organised 

to help bring communities in 

the suburb together. 

Hello Hornby committee 

chairman Scott MacDonald 

said the event was “a huge 

success.” 

“The whole day is put 

together by businesses, groups, 

organisations, churches . . . I 

guess we can all take pride and 

feel it was a big success and a 

great day,” he said. 

It featured a wide variety 

of free activities, including a 

bouncy castle, water-walkers, a 

large inflatable rock-climbing 

obstacle and horses for children 

to ride from Pony Parties Ltd. 

The Hub Hornby organised 

a free double-decker bus for 

people to travel between the 

mall and Wycola Park. There 

were also free barbecues. 

Residents took part in events, 

including a potato-growing 

competition, talent quest and 

baking competition. 

The baking was auctioned 

off following the competition 

with the money donated to the 

Hornby Youth Hangout. 

Mr MacDonald said many 

companies and organisations 

supported and helped organise 

the event, including the Greater 

Hornby Residents’ Association, 

city council and Hornby 

Community Care Centre. 

The talent quest competition’s 

stage was donated by Action 

Scaffolding. 

“We felt our stage last year 

was a little small and hard 

for people to see . . . Action 

Scaffolding put on a big stage 

for us, which they put up and 

dismantled and just worked 

beautifully,” Mr MacDonald 

said. 

He said he could not see any 

reason why the event would not 

run again next year and plans 

to start organising it.

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. 

About a year ago, it 

was reported freedom 

campers were upsetting 

Sam 

MacDonald 

residents by parking 

outside the Waimairi 

Cemetery on Grahams 

Rd. 

Mr MacDonald said the city 

council’s enforcement team continually 

monitored the issue and

Christchurch Woodturners Association

Isles (below) had their faces painted. 

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.

Introducing the head students 

New head students from 

across the west of the 

city write about their 

goals for the year 

Christchurch Girls’ 

High School head 

prefect Sophie Bowden 

(below) 

I am honoured and excited to 

be able to lead both the school 

and prefect team this year, as the 

CGHS - Te Kura o Hine Waiora 

head prefect. 

Ever since starting at the 

school in 2015, I have always 

looked up to the prefects, and 

thought how lucky they were to 

be able to give back to the school 

and make a positive difference to 

the community. 

As someone who plays 

hockey and rows for 

the school, I found 

that being part of a 

sports team, or any 

other club at school, 

really brings about 

a sense of pride and 

family which you 

would struggle to find 

anywhere else. 

This year especially, 

I would love to place 

a large emphasis on the 

idea of school spirit 

and school 

community 

by bringing 

people 

within 

different 

year 

groups 

closer 

and 

encouraging them to celebrate 

the school. 

I hope this idea can start to 

be incorporated this year and 

continue on for many years to 

come. It will make girls proud to 

be part of the CGHS family. 

Next year I hope to continue 

on to university, either in New 

Zealand or overseas, and I 

know the experiences I have 

had at CGHS will prove to be 

invaluable. 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School senior monitor 

Fergus Kilpatrick 

When I first came to CBHS in 

2015, I remember sitting on the 

gym floor and listening to our 

head boy at the time, Jake Bailey. 

His kindness and caring 

attitude struck a chord 

with me. From then 

on, I wanted the 

opportunity to 

make the same 

difference, not 

only in the 

school but 

in the wider 

community. 

In terms of 

my goals for 

this year, I 

would love 

to see 

TOP: Campbell Madsen and Laura Gray will lead Riccarton 

High School students this year. 

everyone in the CBHS monitor 

team grow and develop as 

leaders, elevating their public 

profiles, by becoming more 

involved with CBHS and the 

wider community. 

Outside of school, 

I am a very keen 

outdoor enthusiast. 

I spent most of my 

childhood growing 

up in Sumner, where 

weekend activities 

usually involved some 

combination of surfing, 

tennis or running in 

the Port Hills. 

From an early age, 

I played rugby, and I have 

continued this passion into 

my teenage years, travelling 

to South Africa in March this 

year to play in a world schools 

tournament. I also play the 

guitar and consider myself a 

semi-professional shower singer. 

I intend to study law at either 

Canterbury or Otago after 

school. 

Riccarton High School 

head girl Laura Gray 

I have so many good memories 

over my time at this school and 

am looking forward to making 

this year the best of them all. 

I am excited by the challenges 

and responsibilities that year 13 

and my role will throw at me 

Fergus Kilpatrick 

but I couldn’t be surrounded 

by a better group of people to 

overcome them with. 

I am thrilled to be a part of 

such an amazing school and I 

am excited to see what 

we can achieve in the 

near future. 

I come from a strong 

sporting background 

– volleyball is my 

main sport (I made the 

under-17 New Zealand 

team last year) but in 

my time at Riccarton I 

have also played netball, 

basketball and touch. 

Something that 

inspires me about others, which 

just so happens to be one of 

our Riccarton Way values, is 

commitment. People that do 

what they say they will, in my 

mind, are the true leaders. As 

cliché as it sounds, a motto I try 

to live by is ‘treat others the way 

you want to be treated’ and this 

ties in so well with the concept of 

commitment. 

One of my pet peeves is when 

people change plans because 

something better came up. Of 

course, some things are out 

of our control, but when you 

are committed to something, 

I believe that it should take 

priority. 

It’s not always going to be 

convenient, but there is a reason 

why we commit to things and 

SCHOOLS 

if you don’t give it 100 per cent 

is it worth investing any time 

in at all? It can’t be expected 

that you gain people’s respect 

without earning it, and so I strive 

to do this through showing my 

commitment and hope that I will 

get the same in return. 

Riccarton High School 

head boy Campbell 

Madsen 

For me, being head boy is an 

opportunity to take everything 

I’ve learned over the years and 

put it towards something more 

than just me or my peers. 

I see it as a chance to not only 

give back to the school, but to 

also find out more about myself 

and become a better person at 

the same time. 

I love all things sports-related, 

for instance volleyball (senior A 

boys), mountain biking, football 

and canoe polo. I also enjoy 

music, whether it’s listening to it 

or playing the guitar. 

A motto or phrase I like to live 

by and believe in is ‘how you 

choose to get along with others is 

up to you.’ 

Something that inspires me 

about others is their willingness 

to do things for other people and 

the unconditional generosity 

they show. What I find 

inspirational about myself is my 

determination and willingness 

to get involved. If I want to do 

something or get something 

done, I’ll set my mind to it 

and give it my best. I’ve always 

wanted to improve my musical 

ability, but I’ve chosen to put my 

time into other things, and that’s 

just the way it is sometimes. 

If I could wake up in the 

morning and have something for 

myself or others, it would be that 

everyone would have something 

in their lives that brings them 

joy. Whether it’s something they 

enjoy doing, or simply something 

that makes them smile.

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 

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

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 

SPORT 

Springbok Shield – contested 

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.

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.

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] 

Nory Lansing 

knowing so many runners in the 

field. It’s a challenging course 

but in saying that it’s just for 

yourself really, not so much a 

competition,” she said. 

“I do heaps of running with my 

clients so I think it’s motivating 

and encouraging to be on the 

course for them. 

I mention it every week 

in a [gym] newsletter and during 

my running sessions to sign 

up and do whatever they can, 

running or walking,” Ms Lansing 

said.

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.

Toenail fungus, also known as 

onychomycosis, includes symptoms 

such as thickened and discoloured 

toenails; itchy, cracked and painful 

skin; and the toenail can even become 

separated from the nailbed. In short, 

it is unattractive, uncomfortable and 

persistent - it can be difficult to treat, 

even using topical products. 

The team at Footprints Podiatry at 7 

Milton Street, Somerfield, continue to 

bring cutting edge podiatry technology 

to Christchurch. Now, they have the 

Lunula Laser, a revolutionary treatment 

for toenail fungus which is up to 

93% effective, pain-free and has no 

side effects. Exclusive to Footprints 

Podiatry, the Lunula Laser means an 

end to embarrassment about your 

feet and can be administered while 

the patient is comfortably seated. It 

is a low-level laser designed to target 

onychomychosis and is completely 

safe. The laser light targets the areas of 

fungus and, with each foot taking only 

12 minutes, there is no down-time from 

work or a busy lifestyle. Simply make an 

appointment, call in, and thirty minutes 

later you are back out the door and able 

to carry on with your day. The number 

of treatments you will need depends on 

each case but it can be effective after as 

few as four visits. 

Although the Lunula Laser is 

at the forefront of technology 

for this pervasive condition, 

podiatrists Howard Nicholas, and 

Jacky Lee will take the time to sit 

with you and make sure that it is 

the right treatment for you and your 

condition. 

If you have painful and unsightly 

toenail fungus and would like to know

HEALTH & AWARENESS 


Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

WESTERN NEWS 

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.

at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham.

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,

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

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 

WESTERN NEWS 

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.

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.
