Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi

from the reporter’s desk

NOT EVERYONE is comfortable talking about their bowels

(see page 1).

But starting the conversation about bowel cancer awareness

and what can be done to prevent it will save lives.

That is why it is great to have people like Yvette Cundy, who is

putting herself out there to raise money for Bowel Cancer New

Zealand.

Yvette is preparing for the Saint Clair Vinyard Half Marathon

in honour of her late father, who died of the disease.

It’s a shame Canterbury still does not have a bowel cancer

screening programme, although the district health board plans

to start one in May 2020 at the earliest.

Hopefully, Yvette can achieve her goal of raising $1500 for the

cause.

Risingholme ready to reopen

THE HISTORIC Risingholme

Community Centre is reopening

next month after being badly

damaged by earthquake and

arson.

The 154-year-old Opawa

centre was damaged by fire in

2016 at the same time as the city

council was looking for tenders

to do earthquake repair

work.

However, three years later

repair work has finished and the

building will be reopened by

Mayor Lianne Dalziel on June 5

before a community open day on

June 8.

The fire ripped through

the roof and top storey of

the heritage-listed building

and caused so much damage

part of the upstairs had to be

deconstructed.

The building was wrapped to

protect it and prevent further

damage from occurring while

engineers and heritage experts

worked to develop a plan for

restoring it.

The Risingholme Community

Centre was originally built in

1864 as a private residence by

William and Mary Reeves,

the parents of noted politician

William Pember Reeves.

After the death of Mr Reeves

in 1891 the house had several

Dentistry is a common daily surgical

procedure carried out at our Practice. We are

all trained in dentistry and are lucky enough

to have dental radiography which in the case

of Mabel, it proved invaluable in diagnosing

her tooth troubles. Due to most pets poor

dental hygiene ( daily tooth brushing isn’t

a priority for most people), your pet will

at least once in their life need a thorough

dental exam, scale and polish and possible

extractions under a general anaesthetic.

Checking a pets teeth and gums is a regular

part of a physical exam.

Pet owners often won’t

pick up early dental

disease, only noticing

their pet is suffering if it

refuses food, salivates

profusely or has a very

smelly breath. Many

pets will exhibit no

clinical symptoms.

Poor dental hygiene

leads to other serious

metabolic diseases like

kidney and liver disease, endocarditis, urinary

tract infections and gastrointestinal disease to

name a few.

In older pets, periodontal disease is common.

Here you get infection and inflammation

around the periodontal ligament and tooth

root due to toxins released from the bacteria

in tartar. Early on gingivitis ( inflammation

around the gingiva) is reversible with

thorough scaling and polishing, then a regular

home care dental programme involving tooth

brushing, various gels to apply to the gums,

prescription dental diets, and occasional large

raw bones that cant be demolished ( canon

bones). If left undiagnosed, gingivitis quickly

evolves into periodontitis and you get loss of

bone around the root and a loose diseased

tooth that requires extraction.

McMaster & Heap

Veterinary practice

DENTISTRY

In young animals that present with

dental pain, a fractured or chipped tooth

exposing the pulp cavity, or diseased root is

commonplace. These dental problems are

seen in cats due to their fighting and hunting

pastimes. We see these issues in dogs due to

their obsessive chewing and destroying of

bones, hard objects and toys.

Mabel, a 71/2 year old Shih Tzu presented as

her very attentive owner suspected a tooth

issue. Mabel had stopped eating suddenly,

wouldn’t pick up and play with her toys and

occasionally cried out in pain and had become

quiet and clingy.

On initial examination

her teeth and gums

looked very good,

apart from some

mild tartar and

gingivitis. I couldn’t

identify any fractured

or loose teeth, no

lumps, bruising or

lesions were seen in

the oral cavity, and

there appeared to be

nothing stuck. On gently opening Mabels

mouth open she cried. The rest of her clinical

examination was unremarkable.

It was decided to anaesthetise Mabel and

thoroughly examine and probe her teeth

to establish her acute pain. It was only after

performing dental radiography that we were

we able to identify the problem tooth - an

upper molar with an abscessed root that

couldn’t be seen from the oral cavity exam.

This tooth was extracted and Mabel recovered

quickly and uneventfully.

Make sure your vet thoroughly inspects your

pets mouth on a routine checkup. It can save

lots of discomfort and money spent, if dental

disease is identified early on. A healthy mouth

leads to a happy life!

A DECISION on the

The city council has

Megan Woods

to update the slope instability

Plan to reflect the changed

The proposal is expected

to be handed to Dr Woods

in July and she will have a

After the earthquakes,

“We have had a measure

when they could have deterred

crime and we just continue

to face red tape,” Mr Wood

said.

Mr Wood said Sumner

desperately needed some

form of crime prevention.

“Criminals look for

weakness and wealth.

Sumner portrays wealth

and the absence of cameras

and a permanent police

presence in Sumner is

creating weakness and

therefore opening ourselves

more flexibility, which may

well be reflected in property

Big response to Kyle Park plan


A ROBUST response has been

made over reclassifying part

of Kyle Park to make way

for the new Hornby megafacility.

The Kyle Park Management

Plan 1993 and

the reserve

classification

for part of the

park needs to

change in order

to accommodate

Mike Mora

the Hornby

Library,

Customer

Services and Recreation

and Sport Centre.

The key objective is to enable

the community facility at the

eastern end of the park.

Currently, the management

plan does not allow for a

community facility.

Consultation began in March

following approval from the

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Community Board and

city council and closed on April

15.

The city council has received

186 submissions on changing the

classification, with 163 in favour

and 23 opposing.

Eight submitters have

indicated they want to speak

in support of their submissions.

The submissions were not yet

available to the public, but would

be released online closer to the

hearings.

An independent hearings panel

will meet in June to consider all

submissions.

A recommendation will then

be made to the community

board by early August.

Community board chairman

Mike Mora said he does not want

to see any delays in building the

Hornby facility and wants it to

go through.

“I am keen to see the outcome

of the decision, whatever that

may be,” he said.

If the partial reserve

reclassification and management

plan changes do not go ahead

there would be further delays

as an investigation would be

required to find another suitable

site for the Hornby megafacility.

It may also result in higher

construction costs due to

inflation and a lower scope

to be able to be delivered for

the budget for the facility.

Kyle Park was chosen after

the city council’s first choice,

Denton Park was ruled out

year following strong public

opposition.

Half marathon in honour of father

SUPPORT: Colin Dean, who passed away

from bowel cancer in 2014, with his family.

•From page 1

“He (Mr Dean) was fairly

young and left all the grandchildren

behind . . . it would be

really nice to have him around

for longer and I have since learnt

bowel cancer is really common,”

Mrs Cundy said.

Mr Dean was diagnosed with

bowel cancer in 2012. While he

was operated on to remove the

cancer, it came back about a year

later and he passed away in 2014.

Mrs Cundy said her father

passing away inspired her to take

running to the next level and

enter marathon events.

She has since taken part in the

City2Surf, Christchurch Half

Marathon, Hanmer Springs Half

Marathon and will enter the

Christchurch Marathon.

Bowel cancer is the second

highest cause of cancer death in

New Zealand but it can be treated

successfully if it is detected early.

One in six people are affected by

the cancer.

Mrs Cundy raised concerns

the Canterbury District Health

Board does not have a bowel cancer

screening programme.

CDHB planning and funding

manager Carolyn Gullery said

the earliest start date for the

programme in Canterbury is

May 2020 and it will be offered to

those aged 60 to 74.

She said it is currently carrying

out recruitment and intends to

have staff in place to commence

the programme.

Mrs Cundy said people may

not want to discuss bowel cancer

and are unlikely to

seek help.

“It is unfortunately

quite common.

If people act

on things early on,

it might prevent

people from developing

that cancer,”

she said.

Since setting up

her fundraising

page for the cause,

Mrs Cundy has

raised $1227.

She was “blown

away” by the

donations after

initially being apprehensive about

raising the recommended minimum

target of $300.

“I am thrilled I have been able

to accumulate that much without

the help of Facebook,” she said.

Kiwibank plans to open

one in Riccarton, which will

New Zealand Post is seeking

businesses in Hornby, Riccarton

postal and bill payment services.

established as to when the

Kiwibank is waiting on New

for the older people who do not

Sumner sea wall under investigation


• By Louis Day

THE effectiveness of the Sumner

Esplanade rock retaining wall is

being investigated.

The 1.2km wall extends from

Cave Rock to Scarborough

Beach and protects Sumner from

flooding.

The assessment comes six

years after a report from

environmental and engineering

consultants Tonkin & Taylor

found the condition of the rock

wall left Sumner vulnerable to

flooding.

Linwood-Central-Heathcote


Darrell Latham said an

assessment of the wall was long

overdue.

“The overall effectiveness

of the current sea wall is

questionable. As a matter

of priority, Sumner residents

require a functional sea wall

to mitigate climate change

predictions and storm surges.

Funding should be allocated in

the Long Term Plan to undertake

this work as soon as possible,” he

said. Emails obtained by

Southern View show the purpose

of the assessment was to report

on the present condition of the

rock wall and identify the best

way to restore its effectiveness.

The report from Tonkin &

Taylor stated the rock wall

was likely to be overtopped

during a one per cent annual

exceedance probability event,

resulting in seawater flowing over

the Esplanade and potentially

flooding the first row of houses in

the area.

AEP is the probability of a

certain size of flood occurring in

a single year.

A one per cent AEP flood flow

has a one per cent chance of

occurring in any one year and a

10 per cent chance of occurring

in any 10-year period.

Dr Latham said the community

board was not informed about

the assessment before it was

undertaken.

“I had to hear about the project

details through unofficial sources

and I’m angry that the city

council did not take the time to

update the community board or

excellence.

What does that mean? What

would it look like?

We have talked a lot about

that question. We first decided

that creativity is something we

should consider, encourage,

and model in every aspect of

our school life: Academic work,

sport, culture, and teaching

pedagogy (method). And it’s no

coincidence that our teaching

pedagogy ‘Learn Create Share’

has that word “create” at its

centre. So two and a half years

after adopting our new school

vision, how do we know we are

making progress towards that

vision?

In pedagogy, staff are creating

new ways of causing learning,

new approaches that place our

learners at the centre, new ways

in which our rangatahi learn

within their cultural experiences.

Our technologists have led

the way with our own students,

as they have re-imagined what

technology learning could look

like.

And they are not done yet.

We see students more prepared

to take risks and try new things,

more prepared to put themselves

out there in front of others. Risktaking

is really important for

creativity.

And we see students

increasingly engaging in their

learning, and sharing their

learning via blogs and other

appropriate tools.

Achievement at NCEA level

has, interestingly, improved

already this year. That’s what

happens when you focus on the

process.

And all of this is increasing

demand for places at Te

At the start of the year, our

enrolment scheme (a zone) came

into effect to make sure we did

not outgrow our wonderful new

Hollywood to Redcliffs for cinema owner

• By Julia Evans

A FORMER writer for major

Hollywood film studios who left

the bright lights of Los Angeles

for love is getting ready to open

the new Arts Centre cinema.

Redcliffs resident Max

Hoffman co-owns the Lumiere

Cinemas with cinephile Nick

Paris. It is expected to show its

first film soon – although it was

planned to open by Easter.

“It will open

very soon, within

the next couple

of months, but

we really want to

get it right.”

The pair have

been hands-on

Max

Hoffman

throughout the

whole process,

travelling to

China to work

with the manufacturer on every

centimetre of the Lumiere’s fit

out.

“We went over and sat in

the chairs. You can try and

order things online, but we had

everything custom done.”

But before moving to

Christchurch after the

February 22, 2011, earthquake,

Mr Hoffman worked as a

screenwriter for 20th Century

Fox and Disney studios.

He was not credited for the

AT THE MOVIES: The new Lumiere Cinemas will open soon in the Arts Centre.

work, which included re-writing

scripts.

“I was an in-house writer with

the writers’ guild for 10 years . . .

it’s hard work and if I’m honest,

it was thankless,” Mr Hoffman

said.

He left the Hollywood industry

five years before moving to

Christchurch.

“I’d done it, it was a hard job,

and as a writer, I just didn’t

have anything else to say,” Mr

Hoffman said.

“Then I met my husband, he

was a Kiwi travelling in LA.”

Mr Hoffman left his

home in LA to live with his

husband Sebastian Stapleton

in Christchurch after the

earthquake.

“I said I’m going to move there

and help you. I’d never been here

before, I didn’t know where it

was, which is embarrassing to say

now.”

Mr Hoffman then fell in love

again.

“It truly is the best city in the

world. There’s no better city than

Christchurch.”

He met Mr Paris on a visit to

Christchurch’s iconic Alice in

Videoland, which is where the

idea for Lumiere Cinema was

hatched.

Mr Paris has worked in local

cinema for the last 40 years -

from being a cinema projectionist

to helping ensure the Isaac

Theatre Royal was equipped for

screen movies.

“I got to meet Nick, who has

this incredible passion for film

and my husband, and I knew we

had to get behind him,” he said.

“Christchurch is very fortunate

to have Nick running and

programming the Lumiere as

his depth of knowledge in film is

most impressive and people who

love movies will be able to benefit

from that when they talk with

him.”

When it opens, the cinema will

feature two theatres and a bar

overlooking the Botanic Gardens.

Mr Hoffman said it would also

host outreach programmes for

prospective film makers.

“They used to do that at the

Arts Centre, so we want to bring

it back,” he said.

Board submits Annual Plan priorities

• By Matt Slaughter

IMPROVING people’s “wellbeing”

was a major feature of the

Coastal-Burwood Community

Board’s Annual Plan submission.

The board asked the city

council to bring forward funding

for the Oram Ave extension,

build a new

community

facility in

Burwood and

install toilets

closer to the

hydrotherapy

pool at the QE

Kim Money

II Recreation

and Sport

Centre.

The submission also asked for

repairs to the New Brighton War

Memorial cenotaph steps to be

completed, and for roads and

footpaths to be fixed.

The board also wants

stopbanks at the South New

Brighton and Southshore estuary

edges to be made permanent.

A decision should be made by

June on whether these projects

will go ahead.

Chairwoman Kim Money

and member Linda Stewart

presented the board’s submission

to Mayor Lianne Dalziel and city

councillors last week.

NEEDS: The Coastal-Burwood Community Board wants

funding to be made available sooner for the Oram Ave

extension and work on the New Brighton War Memorial

cenotaph to be completed.

Ms Money added some colour

to her opening address with

several rhymes.

“We’ve been hard-hit as

you know, but we need the

opportunity to grow,” she

said.

Ms Money said the projects

proposed to the city council are

important because they have the

potential to improve the mental

health of residents in the Coastal

and Burwood wards.

“Everything is connected to

well-being. It has been for many

years, but it’s even more so now.

Things are compounding and

the longer we leave these things

undone, the more it’s affecting

our community’s well-being,”

she said.

“We’re so far behind – we just

need to still have that budget

injection to do these things to

catch us up, really.”

All of the projects would help

the wards reach their potential,

she said.

“There are two wards here and

what’s important in Burwood

is different to what’s important

in Coastal . . . so, for us as a

community board, we’re pitching

for those all together.

“We’re behind in earthquake

repairs and we’re behind in

regeneration and so, therefore,

I think they’re all equally

important.”

“We have so much to offer the

city with our natural play areas

and beautiful scenery. It could

just really help the whole city

recover if they could put some

more injection of capital into our

area.”

Football squad learn valuable

lessons on tour of Spain

CHRISTCHURCH United

under-16 players are still buzzing

after returning home from their

17-day football tour of Spain.

The 14 and 15-year-olds

from the Christchurch United

Football Academy spent the

past two weeks as guests

of the famous Valencia FC

Academy, which is renowned for

producing some of the greatest

players in Spain.

After watching Valencia

in action in the Primera

division and Europa League,

the youngsters had a priceless

footballing experience when

they watched Barcelona FC

claim the Spanish title at the

famous Nou Camp stadium.

“It was an unbelievable

night,” said Christchurch

United Academy director Colin

Williamson.

“The Nou Camp stadium was

pumping and the Barcelona

fans were all still in the stands

celebrating two hours after the

match. The boys won’t forget

that night as long as they live.”

The Barcelona match was a

fitting end to a whirlwind tour

built around daily trainings

under the guidance of Valencia

Academy coaching staff. The

Valencia Academy has produced

superstars like Manchester City’s

David Silva and Real Madrid

striker Isco.

In the last few training

sessions, the Christchurch

United players were joined

by the familiar face of United

product Eric Sugahara, who is

currently part of the Barcelona

Football School in Australia and

happened to be in Spain for a

tournament.

“Eric knew most of the

boys and joined us for a few

EXPERIENCE: The Christchurch United squad were awarded

certificates from Valencia coaching director

SPORT

trainings and our final practice

match against one of the local

teams. He did really well, in

spite of being a bit younger

than the other players,” said

Williamson.

Between the heavy training

schedule, the Christchurch

United squad played four

matches against local club teams

and learned many valuable

lessons.

“The Valencia coaches found

some good opposition for our

boys and, even though we were

often just as fast or skilful as the

Spanish players, they showed us

we need to be a lot smarter,” said

Williamson.

“In most matches, we got

caught out by quick counterattacks

or punished by them

scoring from free kicks. They

knew when to commit a small

foul to slow us down on attack

or draw a foul in a dangerous

position,” said Williamson.

“It confirmed why we

are working on developing

intelligent players at

Christchurch United. These

matches showed our players

that wonderful skills alone can

get you so far, but that you have

to be smart to become a great

player.”

Williamson was proud of

his players, and said they

made great strides and showed

tremendous courage in a narrow

3-4 defeat against Vilmarxant

CF in the final match, in spite

of conceding two early goals

and losing two key players to

injuries. “When the Valencia

Academy director handed them

all their certificates on Friday, he

said they really earned it.”

Research supports

eye health

Are you Magnesium

deficient?

Nutritional researchers have

discovered a range of nutrients

that are essential for eye

health. Some of the most

essential nutrients that

have been shown to

protect and even improve

eye function are:

Selenium, is a trace mineral

that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in

many of our foods. Researchers believe

selenium may help prevent cataracts,

macular degeneration (the leading cause

of impaired vision in older people) and

may also improve dry eyes and general eye

health.

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage

of the population are low in. Zinc has been

shown to help protect the eyes from the

damaging effects of light as well as slow

vision loss due to macular degeneration.

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have

potent antioxidant ability and help protect

the eyes from damage

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing

nutrients that have been shown in

landmark research to not only provide

potent eye protection but may even help

reverse some of the signs of age-related

macular degeneration (AMD).

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent

antioxidants may help protect the lens

and retina from damage and reduce the

risk of cataracts. They also may

help improve blood supply

to the eye, strengthen the

small capillaries of

the eye and may help

improve night vision,

may alleviate many eye

ailments including eye fatigue

that may be caused by reading, driving and

computers.

Eyebright may help normalise eye

pressure and reduce eye allergies.

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential

for correct eye function. It may also have a

detoxifying affect on the eye.

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection.

It provides many nutrients, is rich in

oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that

are potent antioxidants that may protect

eyesight.

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic

amount help provide comprehensive eye

protection, may slow and possibly even

help reverse eye damage that could lead

to loss of vision. All these nutrients are

available in an economical one a day easy

to swallow capsule.

Further information is available in

store at Marshall’s Health & Natural

Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always

happy to help!

Minerals are the building blocks of

good health. Some minerals are only

needed in trace amounts where others

like magnesium are need in much larger

amounts and on a regular basis to prevent

deficiency and maintain optimum health.

A large number of us do not obtain

sufficient magnesium from our diet

and may notice some of the common

signs of deficiency. Some of the more

common symptoms that may be caused by

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands,

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep,

raised and/or unstable blood pressure,

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat,

shortness of breath, swallowing problems,

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation,

irritability, seizures, poor concentration

and many more.

Although many young people now

show signs of magnesium deficiency

symptoms generally worsen as we age

due to our digestive system being less

efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement

of sufficient strength may be a sensible

option to top up our vital magnesium

levels. Not all magnesium supplements

however are well absorbed by everyone.

Luckily GO- HEALTHY’S marine sourced

magnesium offers excellent absorption due

to its natural co-factors that include many

trace nutrients that are low in the diet but

essential for good health.

Further information is available in

store from our Natural Health Advisers,

and Medical Herbalists at Marshall’s

Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

HOME & HEATING

Get rid of

dampness in

your house

Now with the colder and wetter weather

on its way, home owners are focusing on

ways to make their homes comfortable,

warm and healthy for their families

throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue

that affects many of our older properties

which suffer from poor, or no, insulation.

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many

people have relocated to homes that suffer

from rising damp which can be associated

with health problems. Independent tests

have shown that up to 40 litres of water

can rise from the ground and enter a

house every day, leading to mildew, mould,

condensation and musty smells. Moulds

can produce various allergic reactions

and the frail, elderly and very young are

especially vulnerable.

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a

locally owned and operated firm. The

team understands the problems caused

by rising damp and are there to help.

They will come to your damp home

and pump a lightweight, flowable foam

concrete under your timber floored home.

Specially adapted for our New Zealand

conditions and applications it provides a

layer of protection against rising moisture.

An unexpected benefit that the team at

Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed

recently, is that many owners of properties

which had underfloor foam concrete

installed, reported that it also provided

protection against liquefaction after

the earthquakes.

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete

Ltd now for your free, no obligation

quote and complimentary appraisal of

your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone

03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more

information.

Does your range

hood suck?

Whether it plain sucks, or whether it

doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy

sucker - Smooth-Air can help.

Smooth-Air can either improve your

current range hood, or custom build to

your specifications.

“We can take your attractive but noisy,

underperforming range hood and retrofit

it with one of our whisper quiet remote

extraction fans.” says Richard Jack,

Regional Manager of Smooth-Air, “We

have fans which can sit in the ceiling space,

or outside on your wall or roof to make it

extra quiet.”

In-house testing showed a difference of

20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan

from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood

fan range hood. This corresponds to a

quadrupling in perceived noise level.

Range hood conversions include removal

of existing fan and rewiring for new remote

fan. Your local sparky can easily carry out

installation of the new fan.

For kitchens not suited to a standard

range hood, Smooth-Air can manufacture

and powdercoat a bespoke range hood to

match your décor. Custom built range

hoods have the benefit of being designed

specifically for your house.

As well as being whisper quiet, Smooth-

Air’s remote fans are powerful - sucking

out cooking smells and moisture so they

don’t circulate around your home.

Moisture in your home can cause mould

and mildew on your walls and furnishings.

It is also bad for the health of the occupants.

Household cooking is a major source of

internal moisture, therefore an effective

kitchen extraction system can make a

significant difference to internal moisture

levels.

Smooth-Air can also help with other

forms of ventilation, such as bathroom

extraction, condensation reduction or

whole house ventilation.

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help

you with your kitchen extraction, as well

as any other ventilation requirements.

THE PAPANUI-I nes

Community Board has taken the

rare step of starting a petition

to figh the city council over

funding.

Signatures are being co lected

in a bid to get funding for a community

facility in Shirley.

It comes after the city council

removed funding for the centre

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This

was the site of the former community

centre, which was badly

damaged in the February 2,

20 1, earthquake.

The removal o funding

prompted community board

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten

to stand down, citing it as her “die

in the ditch” project.

Ms Jone said the board’s role

is to represen the community,

and by gathering signatures from

residents, it was fulfi ling that

role.

“One of the roles of a community

board is to represent and act

as advocate for the interests of its

community and this is what we

are doing. The LTP and a nual

plans are a l about lo bying the

council.”
