Stoush breaks out over table<br />

It’s not just<br />

for ping pong,<br />

says Jones<br />

• By Julia Evans and Jess<br />

Gibson<br />

PAPANUI-INNES Community<br />

Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />

has taken to Facebook to defend<br />

spending more than $4500 on a<br />

table.<br />

It follows criticism from<br />

Shirley resident Don Gould on<br />

Facebook, who posted the table<br />

was too expensive and not what<br />

the community wanted. He<br />

then repeated<br />

his criticism<br />

in Nor’West<br />

<strong>News</strong> last week,<br />

catching the ire of<br />

Ms Jones.<br />

Ms Jones told<br />

Ali Jones<br />

Don Gould<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

Mr Gould he was<br />

“social media<br />

trolling.”<br />

On Facebook,<br />

Ms Jones posted:<br />

“I look forward<br />

to Mr Gould<br />

running for<br />

public office so<br />

he can put his<br />

immense experience and talents<br />

to use in real life rather than just<br />

as a keyboard warrior.”<br />

Earlier this month the<br />

community board voted 3-2<br />

AROUND THE TABLE<br />

•For – Ali Jones, Jo<br />

Byrne, Pauline Cotter<br />

•Against – John Stringer,<br />

Mike Davidson<br />

•Absent – Emma Norrish<br />

for the concrete table, which<br />

will cost $3175 and $1500 for<br />

WAR OF WORDS: Ali Jones has hit out online at criticism from Shirley resident Don Gould after<br />

the Papanui-Innes Community Board approved a table costing more than $4500.<br />

installation. It will be used for<br />

multiple purposes – including<br />

ping pong.<br />

Ms Jones has been highly<br />

critical online of Nor’West <strong>News</strong>’<br />

coverage of the decision to<br />

purchase the table.<br />

Mr Gould said it was too<br />

expensive for a “ping pong table.”<br />

But Ms Jones said it was more<br />

than that – it could also be used<br />

as a normal table.<br />

The move came after<br />

Richmond resident Jennifer<br />

Dalziel raised concerns over<br />

a lack of seating at the Shirley<br />

Rd site – the board is now<br />

investigating seating for the<br />

table. But Mr Gould said it “isn’t<br />

what the community asked for.”<br />

WE’VE TAKEN a few body blows and<br />

Jones (see page 1).<br />

Online ones, I have to point out.<br />

It’s over our coverage last week of the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community Board’s<br />

decision (vote 3-2 in favour) to buy a table for the Shirley<br />

Community Centre.<br />

It will cost ratepayers nearly $5000 for the concrete beast and<br />

you can play ping-pong on it. For some, we apparently didn’t<br />

point out enough it will also have other uses.<br />

Sorry!<br />

A resident who apparently is not shy at having a crack at<br />

elected officials on Facebook was quoted in our article. That<br />

too appears to have set the blood boiling . . . but viewpoints are<br />

viewpoints.<br />

Would you pay nearly $5k for the table?<br />

Campbell to chase ECan seat<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

OUTSPOKEN politician Aaron<br />

Campbell will not be running<br />

for the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

in October.<br />

Instead, he will stand for<br />

ECan’s West-Ōpuna seat in<br />

the local body elections, which<br />

covers the Halswell, Hornby,<br />

Waimairi and Harewood wards.<br />

He told The Star on Thursday<br />

he would stand for both ECan<br />

and the board but has now<br />

said he will only run for ECan<br />

because the city council does<br />

not allow a person to stand for<br />

both.<br />

Mr Campbell said the<br />

restriction has given him more<br />

motivation to get elected to<br />

ECan. “It will be slightly easier<br />

to campaign for one position,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Campbell said regardless<br />

of the result, he would remain<br />

“deeply invested in the<br />

community.”<br />

“If I do or don’t get on I will<br />

certainly carry on with being<br />

involved in the community in<br />

some way,” he said.<br />

Mr Campbell is a founding<br />

member of Aotearoa Water<br />

organisation taking High Court<br />

seat – but he said the problems<br />

ECan is dealing with are “much<br />

bigger” than what the city<br />

council is dealing with.<br />

“[ECan] is where I can<br />

contribute the most,” he said.<br />

He will campaign as an<br />

independent.<br />

ELECTION BID: Commercial<br />

water bottling critic Aaron<br />

Campbell will stand for<br />

ECan in the October local<br />

body elections.<br />

Mr Campbell said if he is<br />

elected he will “step back” from<br />

the table if any conflicts of<br />

interest arise and he would not<br />

vote if a decision involved AWA.<br />

“I don’t see my position on<br />

AWA inhibiting my ability to<br />

run for ECan. In fact, I think it’s<br />

more favourable because people<br />

know where I stand,” he said.<br />

“Politicians can be members<br />

of a number of groups as long as<br />

they declare that interest.”<br />

“I’m not making money or<br />

losing money for [AWA], it’s<br />

purely from a community<br />

perspective that I’m interested<br />

and I’m committed on that<br />

front.”<br />

He said he will continue to<br />

focus on water as it is “this<br />

election’s hot-button issue.”<br />

“From water bottling<br />

to degradation of rivers,<br />

Cantabrians are saying enough,”<br />

he said.<br />

and everything about the whole process was made as straightforward<br />

No solar panels<br />

for Harewood<br />

reserve toilets<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

SOLAR PANELS will not<br />

be installed at the new Lake<br />

Roto Kohatu Reserve toilets in<br />

Harewood.<br />

City councillor Aaron Keown<br />

said this is due to a number of<br />

thefts at other public toilets. The<br />

$10,000 panels on top of the toilets<br />

at Bexley Reserve have been<br />

stolen twice.<br />

Cr Keown said it is a shame as<br />

taking power of the national grid<br />

is “10 times the price” of installing<br />

panels. “It’s a completely different<br />

neighbourhood,” he said.<br />

Feedback on the proposed<br />

$1 million toilet block will be<br />

presented to the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />

Board before it is approved.<br />

The plans are for two separate<br />

toilet blocks at the popular<br />

recreation site on Sawyers<br />

Arms Rd. There are currently<br />

only portaloos at the site,<br />

which has a high number of<br />

annual visitors who use Lake<br />

Roto Kohatu and Lake Rua for<br />

watersports, swimming and<br />

picnics.<br />

Each new block would have two<br />

cubicles and an outside shower.<br />

The cost is estimated at $282,806<br />

for each building and $440,000 to<br />

connect them up to services.<br />

I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’<br />

as the title for the trilogy because I<br />

feel that it best represents my work<br />

and the person I am.<br />

*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive<br />

sadness, typically with no obvious<br />

cause.<br />

Part I: Identity 2018<br />

Part II: Dissectum <strong>2019</strong><br />

Part III: Lost & Found 2020<br />

Dissectum means ‘deeply cut’ and<br />

in its original meaning refers to the<br />

deep cuts in foliage. For me the<br />

deep cuts are not just the ones we<br />

need to make to understand the<br />

workings of an organism but also<br />

the potential deep cuts we need to<br />

consider when we have to make<br />

big decisions (as in: ‘Murderous<br />

Intent’). To be deeply cut can also<br />

be the result of our experiences in<br />

life. And with deep cuts comes the<br />

need to heal, to find ways to put<br />

what is left back together again or to<br />

form a ‘new’.<br />

The exhibition is in two parts –<br />

the front of the gallery is ‘The<br />

Wunderkammer*’ where various<br />

objects, boxes and other curios are<br />

shown.<br />

*Wunderkammer: A cabinet of<br />

scientific curiosities, especially<br />

during the Renaissance<br />

In the back of the gallery I am<br />

exhibiting a series of, mainly<br />

charcoal drawings, all working with<br />

or referring to ‘Dissectum’, plus<br />

4 small bird paintings embellished<br />

with embroidery.<br />

Simon van der Sluijs is an artist<br />

of Dutch descent and traditional<br />

painting and drawing training.<br />

His themes are deeply personal,<br />

unconventional, dark, humorous and<br />

disturbing.<br />

responds to the Nor’West<br />

<strong>News</strong> article on the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board’s decision to<br />

purchase the multi-use<br />

concrete table for the<br />

Shirley Community Centre<br />

I personally don’t think that<br />

there’s anything wrong with the<br />

table, but I wouldn’t like to see<br />

chairs near it.<br />

Personally, I think that<br />

wooden tables will be a great<br />

idea plus seating as well, because<br />

if we worry about all the<br />

scaremongering of tables being<br />

burnt in public places then all<br />

possibly quite right, I didn’t<br />

attend the meeting so I could be<br />

ill-informed.”<br />

Ms Jones said she had “no<br />

problem with people posting<br />

their disapproval” of board<br />

decisions.<br />

“But they need to be informed<br />

. . . I blocked him from my<br />

social media about a year ago<br />

because I found his uninformed<br />

attacks tiring.”<br />

Ms Jones said another option<br />

for a table costing $104, which<br />

was reported in Nor’West<br />

<strong>News</strong>, was misleading because<br />

it did should have also stated it<br />

would cost another $1500 for<br />

we will have is a concrete jungle.<br />

Wood furniture is much<br />

more aesthetically pleasing and<br />

relatively cheap, so my request<br />

is that your committee also<br />

approves some of these tables and<br />

chairs.<br />

installation. “The reason I voted<br />

for it because it’s more resilient,<br />

multi-use and relocatable and<br />

it can be used by a number of<br />

different groups,” she said.<br />

Board member Jo Byrne said<br />

she did not pay attention to the<br />

Facebook post. “He is a tricky<br />

customer though . . . I think<br />

in local government, you have<br />

to be careful not to just listen<br />

to the squeaky wheel.” But she<br />

thought the table was a “great”<br />

use of money and would help<br />

improve the site. Board member<br />

John Stringer, who felt the table<br />

was too expensive, said he did<br />

not support Ms Jones’ reaction.<br />

Janine Heeringa<br />

responds to an article on<br />

the possible asphalting of<br />

St James Park in Papanui<br />

The article was really<br />

heartening to read as I am a<br />

regular user of this park and<br />

can concur with all of what has<br />

been said. I recently contacted<br />

the city council about a kauri<br />

tree that had been felled and am<br />

pleased to see pegs set out for<br />

replacement planting sites.<br />

The new asphalt will be a<br />

welcome addition to what is a<br />

fabulous green space. Thanks to<br />

the community board for their<br />

initiative.<br />

THE NEXT phase of the<br />

Paddington Playground<br />

renewal project is under way.<br />

City council staff are<br />

preparing a report for the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board to decide what upgrades<br />

should be made to the<br />

playground in Northcote.<br />

Staff will consider the<br />

feedback from 24 submissions<br />

made by individuals and groups<br />

on the proposed plan during<br />

the public consultation phase.<br />

The draft plan includes new<br />

equipment, such as monkey<br />

bars, a bridge, climbing wall,<br />

spring rocker, swings, carousel<br />

and see-saw.<br />

New gardens and trees near<br />

the playground are also planed<br />

to enhance the play area.<br />

Twenty-one submissions<br />

supported the plan, two did not<br />

support it and one submission<br />

said “maybe.”<br />

There were common<br />

themes in the feedback, with<br />

One submission, which<br />

opposed the plan said the cost<br />

of the renewal was unnecessary<br />

Another submission, which<br />

did not support the renewal,<br />

Cobham pupils sing for<br />

mosque attack victims<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A SONG featuring 80 Cobham<br />

Intermediate pupils has raised<br />

about $900 for individuals and<br />

families affected by the March 15<br />

terror attack.<br />

Release Our Love was written<br />

by well-known performer Ali<br />

Harper after she had a “calling”<br />

to write a song to express her love<br />

for the victims, survivors and<br />

their families.<br />

Harper said she wanted to<br />

perform the song with a school<br />

choir, and decided to reach<br />

out to choral teacher Philippa<br />

Chilvers to see if the Cobham<br />

Intermediate School choir could<br />

come on board.<br />

Miss Chilvers said the<br />

experience of recording in a<br />

studio and being able to listen<br />

to the song was “really special”<br />

for the pupils. “They were really<br />

excited. They might not realise<br />

until later how much of a big<br />

thing it was to be a part of it,”<br />

said Miss Chilvers.<br />

The proceeds from each<br />

download of the song go to<br />

Victim Support’s Givealittle<br />

page. Harper hopes the song will<br />

teach young people about uniting<br />

and making a change.<br />

“We have to change where<br />

we are heading in this world.<br />

The words that I wrote really<br />

resonated for me for the future of<br />

our children.”<br />

“The deputy head boy Josh<br />

Ratulomai performed a Te Reo<br />

solo, which was so beautiful,”<br />

said Harper.<br />

“It has been quite wonderful<br />

because lots of schools around<br />

New Zealand have been<br />

contacting me for the music so<br />

that it can become part of their<br />

school assembly song.”<br />

He led for much of the 15-lap<br />

race before finishing second. In<br />

the 18-lap final, Louis started<br />

second. However, it took him<br />

less than two laps to pass Bewley<br />

to take the lead which he didn’t<br />

relinquish, booking his spot in<br />

Italy.<br />

It was the third year in a row<br />

a Christchurch driver has won<br />

the Vortex Mini ROK class after<br />

Jacob Douglas won in 2017 and<br />

2018.<br />

KartSport Canterbury also<br />

announced it will host next<br />

year’s NZ national sprint<br />

championship at Carrs Rd.<br />

signalled a return to form for<br />

Miya. “I had a really good early<br />

2018 and then I kind of had a<br />

rough patch, and then improved<br />

later in the year, but then I<br />

injured my wrist in December, so<br />

I was out for a couple of months,<br />

which was really frustrating,”<br />

he said. “That’s when a lot of<br />

tournaments were being played –<br />

it sucked.”<br />

Miya said there was something<br />

in his swing which caused his left<br />

wrist to hurt, and he has been<br />

working hard in recent months to<br />

resolve the issue.<br />

“It’s about not getting so steep<br />

and taking massive diverts<br />

because it was putting strain on<br />

the wrist.”<br />

Another motivation for Miya<br />

was seeing 16-year-old Rangiora<br />

golfer Kazuma Kobori’s run of<br />

incredible form. Kobori made<br />

headlines when he won the NZ<br />

PGA Championship last month.<br />

“It’s pretty cool what<br />

Kazuma has been doing and<br />

everybody is looking up to him,”<br />

said Miya.<br />

I’m just trying to not lose to<br />

him . . . I used to always beat him<br />

and now he’s playing really well,<br />

so it makes me work hard.”<br />

Miya is putting in the hours at<br />

Russley before heading to the US.<br />

After spending much of his day<br />

on the course, he is also working<br />

part time on the club’s bar during<br />

functions in the evening.<br />

Wellbeing & Beauty<br />

New centre provides<br />

personalised weight<br />

management solutions<br />

In November 2018, Dr Jonie Girouard<br />

and her husband Dr Michael Girouard,<br />

opened The Girouard Centre in<br />

Silverstream, Kaiapoi, dedicated to weight<br />

management and wellness.<br />

The couple came to New Zealand three<br />

years ago from the United States, where<br />

Dr Michael was one of the country’s<br />

most experienced, leading bariatricians<br />

and Dr Jonie practised as an obesity<br />

specialist. Already managing six other<br />

centres internationally via the internet,<br />

they wanted to open a dedicated weight<br />

management centre in the Christchurch<br />

region, where they would treat people with<br />

weight management issues on a completely<br />

individual basis.<br />

Dr Jonie has a particular interest in<br />

lipoedema, a condition that affects around<br />

11 per cent of the female population, but<br />

is often confused with fibromyalgia and/or<br />

obesity due to the lack of awareness of this<br />

condition.<br />

As she explains, lipoedema is a painful,<br />

progressive condition that causes swelling<br />

in the hips, buttock and legs, and as it is not<br />

related to excess calorie intake it can’t be<br />

treated with the usual dieting and exercise<br />

regime.<br />

“It is a complicated disease that often<br />

develops in families, and if left untreated<br />

it will progress, often leading to excess<br />

body weight and obesity due to the lack of<br />

exercise through decreased mobility,” she<br />

says.<br />

Patients with lipoedema seeking help at<br />

the Girouard Centre are initially assessed<br />

to determine family history and lifestyle<br />

and are provided with basic knowledge<br />

of lipoedema to help them understand<br />

the condition. An individual tailored<br />

programme covering meal planning and<br />

appropriate exercise is provided, and<br />

the patient is often referred to Burwood<br />

Hospital for compression and lymphatic<br />

manual drainage therapy.<br />

“The services we offer are unique<br />

in New Zealand,” Dr Jonie says.<br />

The Girouard Centre offers nonsurgical<br />

treatment for all types of<br />

weight management problems,<br />

with every person receiving an<br />

individualised treatment plan<br />

according to their needs, so they can<br />

achieve their goals.<br />

Personal goals may include reaching<br />

their ideal weight, reducing their<br />

cholesterol levels or preventing diabetes.<br />

Avoiding the yo-yo weight gain and loss<br />

that some people wrestle with is equally<br />

important in weight maintenance and<br />

optimal health, Dr Jonie says.<br />

The centre is open for consultation<br />

on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and<br />

appointments can be made by calling<br />

(03) 327 2273, or through The Girouard<br />

Centre website or Facebook page. It Dr Michael and Dr Jonie<br />

is located at Unit 6, 42 Silverstream Girouard, who have opened<br />

Boulevard, Silverstream, Kaiapoi. their new centre in Silverstream<br />

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with<br />

a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and<br />

senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />

how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />

blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />

the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />

near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />

(especially at night in bed).<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />

old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />

through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />

was walking with her stick but without the<br />

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />

one of the factors that made her muscles<br />

spasm but the other was that older people<br />

move less and the flexed position the hip<br />

is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />

although the client was 89 and could have<br />

been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />

pain, she made a difference to her health<br />

and wellbeing.<br />

The same lack of movement can be the<br />

reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />

pain and the same few treatments could<br />

make a huge difference for you.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise<br />

program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />

the joint, strengthen the important core<br />

muscles and increase general strength and<br />

SHOULDER<br />

PAIN<br />

KNEE PAIN<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />

that stretches the joint in all directions<br />

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />

HIP PAIN<br />

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />

some maintenance therapy may be<br />

necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />

and, for older patients, better tolerated than<br />

surgery. In very few treatments the client<br />

will know if it is going to work for them or<br />

not, without financial commitment.<br />

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at <strong>30</strong>0 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample<br />

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

There’s something very special about hearing<br />

a full orchestra of young people perform<br />

some of the great classics.<br />

So come and join our young musicians,<br />

conducted by Helen Renaud, in a concert<br />

of wonderful music from around the world.<br />

From the beautiful lakes and mountains<br />

of New Zealand with Lilburn’s Aotearoa<br />

Overture to the noisy and bustling streets of<br />

Paris in Gershwin’s American in Paris this<br />

will be a concert of wonderful melodies and<br />

great contrasts.<br />

Our talented strings will perform Holberg<br />

Suite by Greig, a five-movement work based<br />

on 18th century dances before the wind,<br />

brass and percussion of the concert band will<br />

entertain with a rollicking and humorous<br />

jazz inspired Blue Shades by Tichelli. Finally<br />

from Russia, one of Prokofiev’s most wellknown<br />

works and his first foray into film<br />

music, the Lieutenant Kijé Suite. A concert<br />

not to be missed.<br />

The UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra<br />

was founded in the 1970s and is the senior<br />

orchestra of the Christchurch School of<br />

Music. The orchestra is a musically and<br />

technically advanced orchestra for the city’s<br />

musical youth to widen and develop their<br />

musical and performing experience.<br />

Each year the orchestra performs 3-4<br />

concerts and can often be called on to<br />

perform at corporate and community events.<br />

Professional players from the Christchurch<br />

Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand<br />

Symphony Orchestra regularly work with<br />

students at sectionals to coach them in the<br />

nuances of orchestral playing.<br />

In 2015 the CSM signed a sponsorship<br />

agreement with the University of Canterbury<br />

for the youth orchestra which is an exciting<br />

development in the orchestra’s history. This<br />

sponsorship gives naming rights to the<br />

university and ensures the players can have<br />

access to interesting repertoire and essential<br />

equipment.<br />

The musicians of the UC Christchurch<br />

Youth Orchestra under their conductor have<br />

worked hard to bring this concert to life so<br />

come along and enjoy a wonderful evening<br />

of great music.

the sunrise over the Bay Harbour while<br />

enjoying the feeling of space this cool<br />

210m 2 property offers.<br />

This is a home for family or professionals<br />

set on 878m 2 built in 2004 and is<br />

complimented by fresh contemporary<br />

décor, while three double bedrooms and<br />

two bathrooms ensure there’s plenty<br />

of room to accommodate every family<br />

member.<br />

The living spaces are equally as versatile,<br />

the separate lounge offers utterly stunning<br />

views with large windows that blend in<br />

with the peaceful surrounds, while the<br />

expansive light filled open plan kitchen/<br />

dining/living area houses a well-appointed<br />

kitchen a real treat for the chef of the family.<br />

A log burner, a pallet burner, a heat pump,<br />

double glazing make the winter months<br />

warm and inviting.<br />

Pull back the sliding doors leading to<br />

the outside and chill on the deck, a perfect<br />

place for entertaining, while the children<br />

laugh and play on the grassed areas.<br />

A separate laundry, and double garage<br />

complete the appeal.<br />

The section incorporates easy drive on<br />

access<br />

Located close to all walking tracks, the<br />

ocean and all shopping amenities are a<br />

short drive. In zone for Mt Pleasant school.<br />

Private school buses interconnect at the<br />

bottom of the hill.<br />
