plans for 

the wards 

• By Matt Slaughter 

A NEW-LOOK community 

board will serve the Coastal and 

Burwood wards for the next three 

years. 

Five new board members have 

been elected onto the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board, 

two of which are also new city 

councillors. 

Former radio personality James 

Daniels has ousted two-term 

Coastal Ward city councillor 

David East from his council and 

board seat. 

The Burwood Ward city council 

and board seat was won by 

Maugers Contracting Ltd boss 

Phil Mauger, who will take over 

from three-term city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone. 

Former board members Kim 

Money, Tim Sintes and Tim Baker 

did not run for election. 

Kelly Barber, Bebe Frayle and Jo 

Zervos have been elected to take 

their place alongside the board’s 

longest-serving member Linda 

Stewart. 

Cr Mauger said he was “just 

awestruck” after the win.

Plan to beat midge problem 

MORE THAN 9000 native 

shrubs and trees will be planted 

beside the Bromley oxidation 

ponds over the next few weeks 

as part of ongoing efforts to keep 

the midge population down. 

The trees and shrubs will create 

a natural screen 

between the oxidation ponds 

and nearby homes and help cut 

down the light from the residential 

area. 

Midges, like moths, are naturally 

attracted to light. 

“We’ve prepared the ground 

for planting and over the next 

few weeks our contractor, Fulton 

Hogan, will be putting in 9330 

native trees and shrubs,’’ said 

city council three waters and 

waste operations manager Adam 

Twose. 

“As the plants grow up, they 

will shield the ponds from the 

light from neighbouring homes 

and roads which should make 

the residential area less attractive 

to the midges.’’ 

The planting work is part of a 

multi-pronged approach the city 

council is taking to control the 

midge population around the 

oxidation ponds. 

Midges are not harmful but 

over the warm summer months, 

they are an unwanted nuisance 

for nearby residents. 

“Unfortunately midges breed 

well in the shallow, warm waters 

of the oxidation ponds so we 

are continually working to find 

new ways of keeping the midge 

population down,’’ Mr Twose 

said. 

“Last summer we 

mechanically disturbed the floor 

of the oxidation ponds by using 

a slow-moving boat fitted with 

a raft of chains that dragged 

behind it. By doing this, we were 

able to create a less hospitable 

environment for the midges to 

breed in. 

“As a result we saw a 35 

per cent decline in the midge 

population around the ponds 

and received fewer complaints 

about the midges from nearby 

residents. 

NUISANCE: 

Nine 

thousand 

native 

shrubs will 

be planted 

beside the 

Bromley 

oxidation 

ponds in a 

bid to reduce 

the midge 

population. 

“We’ll be using the same approach 

again this summer so we 

hope to see a further decline in 

midge numbers. 

“We will also have contractors 

working on extending the spur 

in Pond 2 so that we can alter 

the inflow of treated wastewater, 

which should also make the 

ponds a less attractive breeding 

ground for midges.’’ 

In Brief 

PARK UPGRADE 

Work is under way to upgrade 

Woolston Park. The city council 

is improving the drainage 

network to service the park and 

some surrounding properties. 

Contractors will renew the sports 

field irrigation, cricket wicket 

block and re-levelling the playing 

surface. There are drainage issues 

affecting the ability to use parks 

playing surface during the winter 

months as well as some drainage 

limitations for the community 

centre, playground and other 

nearby areas. 

GARDEN AWARDS 

Entries are open in the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote Edible and 

Sustainable Garden Awards. The 

awards recognise and support 

individuals, groups, schools, 

communities and businesses 

that grow their own food. There 

are residential, school, and 

community/business categories 

and special awards including best 

sustainability features and best 

first-time garden. Entries close

PEGASUS POST 

Laryngeal paralysis in dogs 

Laryngeal paralysis is a complex, typically progressive, 

condition commonly affecting older large breed 

dogs resulting in severe difficulty breathing especially 

with exercise. This isn’t a common condition but when 

these dogs present all hands need to be on deck. These 

dogs can often present extremely distressed, unable to 

breathe, collapsed and “blue”. Firstly if the dog presents 

as an emergency they need oxygen via a cannula or 

mask FAST. Often due to their distress at not being able 

to breathe, sedation is necessary to calm these dogs 

down as is cooling ( For example, fans and wetting 

down). Occasionally intubation under anaesthesia 

or a temporary tracheotomy can be lifesaving in this 

situation. 

This condition is best managed surgically but surgery 

isn’t undertaken lightly and usually these operations 

are performed by specialist surgeons. Discussions 

need to be had with the client on the procedure and 

possible complications post surgery, as in aspiration 

pneumonia ( occurs in about 20% patients as a lifetime 

risk with or without surgery). If these dogs are to 

be managed medically we need to focus on weight 

management, exercise control, environmental factors 

like living in cooler climates and checking to make sure 

these patients are not hypothyroid. Long term medical 

management doesn’t have much impact on the disease 

really and its likely to get worse due to its progressive 

nature. While surgery doesn’t change the disease 

progression, it is the preferred approach for long 

term management and quality of life for the dog. The 

surgical procedure can be tricky requiring anatomical 

knowledge of the larynx and associated structures, 

delicate specialised surgical instruments, careful control 

of bleeding and excellent aftercare for the patient. 

The response of dogs to surgery is excellent and you’ll 

notice a few hours post operatively these dogs are 

breathing easier already. 

Each surgeon has their preferred technique and 

you need an accompanying surgical nurse who is 

competent in anaesthesia. These surgeries are often 

performed in the morning so the surgical nurse has 

all day to monitor the patients breathing, recovery 

and vital signs. These patients are either discharged 

to an afterhours hospital for the night or sent home 

for aftercare with their family. They need to be in a 

“cool’ and ‘calm’ environment, with no boisterous dogs 

around for distractions. Diet consists of small meals 

of meatballs fed from a height- avoid dry, sloppy and 

liquid diets, as the dogs swallowing may be impaired 

due to generalised neurological impairment. 

“Bella” an 11 year old Border Collie recently had this 

surgery performed at McMaster & Heap Vet Practice by 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Dr Helen Milner, a Registered Specialist in Small animal 

Surgery. Bella developed difficulties breathing about 3 

months ago quite suddenly. She quickly became puffed 

and tired on walks and could only exercise a fraction of 

what she was previously doing. Bella had lost her voice, 

had effort exhaling on lying down and often looked like 

she was having an asthma attack on exercise. This was 

distressing for Bellas owners who wanted a better, more 

active life for her. 

So far so good. Bella can finally once again breathe 

with ease - a tremendous outcome for all concerned, 

especially Bella who can once again enjoy 3 hour runs 

in the Port Hills, chasing rabbits and stalking ducks. The 

hardest part has been keeping her rested and quiet for 

4-6 weeks post surgery to avoid complications. Bella is 

raring to go and looks essentially normal although she 

has permanently lost her bark, which the neighbours 

are quite stoked about. 

Dr Helen Milner now works out of McMaster & Heap 

Vet Practice doing Specialist Referral surgeries from 

November of this year. Our new hospital has a dedicated 

specialised theatre and surgical area and we have 

purchased all the necessary surgical instrumentation 

to perform referral surgery. A consultation is necessary 

before surgery is planned. Please call the Practice if you 

would like to find out more about this service. 

Dr Michele McMaster 

please remember the 

NEW CLINIC OPEN DAY 

on 30th November 12-3pm, where you’ll get 

a chance to walk through our new facility 

and chat to all our staff. 

Update from Bella’s mum 

Bella still thinks she is a young dog at 11 years old… 

there are lots of things we thought she would grow 

out off as she aged like jumping up on people when 

she greeted them and trying to round up cars… She is a 

very lean dog who loves her food and walks in the hills 

but equally as happy lying in wait in the back yard for 

the neighbours car to start up…. She has a wee bit of 

arthritis in her back knees but otherwise is a very happy 

and healthy dog. 

So it was quite surprising when one day she chased 

some rabbits in Wanaka on a walk and came back 

breathing like an asthmatic - gasping and rattling. 

She recovered within a few minutes and we didn’t 

think much more of it - maybe just old dog breathing. 

Gradually over the next couple of months her 

breathing, while exercising heavily, got worse and then 

we noticed a change in her bark. She suddenly seemed 

to have a weird squeaky bark - she kept looking round 

to see where the bark had come from. We videoed her 

while exercising and headed off to see our vet, Dr Steve 

Heap. 

Steve looked at the video and immediately diagnosed 

her with Laryngeal Paralysis. At this stage she was 

only having issues breathing while exercising and was 

having no problem eating. Steve felt, given how fit 

and healthy she was, surgery was definitely an option 

for Bella. And luckily for us they had Dr Helen Milner 

coming on board at the practice who had done loads of 

these tricky referral procedures. Plus she was happy to 

come and operate on Bella before she had even started 

her new surgical role at McMaster & Heap Vets. 

Our meeting with Helen quickly dissipated any fears we 

had that Bella was maybe too old for major surgery. She 

went through every step of what was involved including 

any complications and what her recovery period would 

be like. We instantly loved Helen and felt we were in 

great hands. She has huge empathy with her patients 

and Bella loved her too. She was gentle and thorough 

in her work up of Bella. She felt Bella would recover well 

and would be back walking in the hills before we knew 

it. She gave us a huge amount of reading material about 

GOLPP which certainly helped in our decision making. 

A few days later Bella was back for surgery at 

McMaster & Heap. The surgery went really well with no 

complications. She came home that afternoon, was a 

bit woozy that night but the next day she up and ready 

for action. That has been the only downside to surgery 

- keeping her quiet and rested for 6 weeks! She has a 

brand new flash looking harness as can’t be walked with 

a collar anymore. Her ‘bark” has disappeared for good. 

Her stitches are out and her wound looks amazing. After 

a week of hand feeding her small meatballs she is back 

eating her normal diet out of her bowl. 

So far so good - watch out Port Hills rabbits. It won’t be 

long till Bella is back on the chase…

Exhibition to 

feature mosiacs 

MORE THAN 20 mosaic artists 

from around the South Island 

have come together to present 

their work at the Eastside Gallery 

in Linwood. 

Artists 

from the 

Christchurch 

Mosaic Art 

Group are 

displaying 

their work 

between 

now and 

November 9 

as part of an 

exhibition 

called Media 

Freedom. 

The group of artists main aim is 

to promote mosaics as a genuine 

art form. 

Media Freedom has 

mosaics made from a wide 

range of materials, including 

opulent stained glass, fine 

china, rich natural stone and even 

beads. 

Various creations, including 

pictures, mirrors and decorative 

crafts, are included in the 

exhibition. 

Many of these pieces are for 

sale. 

•The exhibition will be open 

Monday to Saturday, 11am to 

4pm. 

Students study Northern Corridor impacts 

• By Claire Booker 

ST ALBANS residents want 

more greenspace and the ability 

to use their streets safely, a 

student study has found. 

With the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor set to open 

next year, the suburb is in for 

some major roading changes. 

So a group of Canterbury 

University geography students 

decided to ask residents what 

they want for their area in a 

three-month study. 

The residents said they 

want people and safety to be a 

priority, rather than cars, when 

the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor opens next year. 

Said Canterbury University 

student researcher Matt Stent: 

“In response to some of the 

major changes and work being 

planned within the suburb of 

St Albans and the surrounding 

area, we were interested in 

finding out what some of the 

positives people saw in their 

streets and what could be 

improved,” 

Mr Stent said the students 

findings will not be 

implemented by them, but the 

information will be available 

to the St Albans Residents 

Association to use in the future. 

“We are working to help the 

residents association understand

Williamson, Ashley Beaton, Dipshika Chand, Matt Stent and 

Rachel Aitken have completed a study on roads in St Albans.

the wishes of the local 

community so they can keep 

pressuring for the best outcome 

for the residents of St Albans,” 

he said. 

Mr Stent said the project was a 

good opportunity to be involved 

with the community through 

a challenging time, given the 

predicted 48,000 vehicles per 

day set to travel through the 

suburb after the corridor opens. 

“We are hoping that a 

more positive outlook will be 

beneficial for the local residents, 

compared to the current council 

plans and the flow-on effects. 

“This course has reminded 

us of the importance of this 

kind of work to communities, as

‘This course has 

reminded us of the . . . 

consequences when the

well as the consequences when

people.” 

The students have already 

presented their findings to 

more than 80 members of the 

community, and will receive a 

grade on the project next month.

NEW RELEASES 

Vegful 

by Nadia Lim 

With vegetarianism and veganism on the rise, New Zealanders are 

not only becoming more aware of the benefits of following a plantbased 

diet, but also of the negative impact farming animals can 

have on the environment. Celebrity cook, nutritionist and co-founder 

of My Food Bag, Nadia Lim, says she has wanted to put out a 

cookbook dedicated entirely to vegetables for a while, but has been 

waiting “for the right time”. That time is now. 

Nadia has just released Vegful, a book she describes as “a 

vegetable cookbook” rather than a vegetarian cookbook. 

It provides inspiration for those of us who know we can do better 

with vegetables - we just need a little guidance! 

Elton John 

The definitive portrait, with unseen images 

by Terry O’Neill 

“Looking at Terry’s photographs is like gazing through a window at the 

most extraordinary and exciting moments of my life. I’m so glad he was 

with us throughout the madness: in his evocative and stylish photos he 

captured those moments as no other photographer could.” - Elton John 

Elton John and iconic photographer Terry O’Neill worked together for 

many years, taking in excess of 5,000 photographs. From intimate 

backstage shots to huge stadium concerts, the photographs in this 

book represent the very best of this archive, with most of the images 

being shown here for the first time. 

O’Neill has drawn on his personal relationship with Elton John to write 

the book’s introduction and captions. 

The Giver of Stars 

by JoJo Moyes 

Inspired by a remarkable true story, the unforgettable journey of five 

extraordinary women living in extraordinary and perilous times. 

Alice Wright has travelled halfway across the world to escape her 

stifling life in England. Handsome American businessman Bennett 

Van Cleve represents a fresh start. But she soon realises that 

swapping the twitching curtains of suburbia for newlywed life in 

the wild mountains of Kentucky isn’t the answer to her prayers. But 

maybe meeting Margery O’Hara is. The heart and backbone of the 

small community of Salt Lick, a woman who isn’t afraid of anything 

or anyone, Margery is on a mission. 

Tall Tales 

And Wee Stories by Billy Connolly 

‘Coming from Glasgow, it’s weird, I don’t really tell jokes, like Irish jokes and 

all that. I tell wee stories. And some of them don’t even have punchlines. But 

you’ll get used to it as the night goes on, and on, and on, and on and on...’ 

In December 2018, after fifty years of belly-laughs, energy and outrage, Billy 

Connolly announced his retirement from live stand-up comedy. It had been 

an extraordinary career 

Tall Tales and Wee Stories brings together the very best of Billy’s storytelling 

for the first time and includes his most famous routines including, The Last 

Supper, Jojoba Shampoo, Incontinence Pants and Shouting at Wildebeest. 

With an introduction and original illustrations by Billy throughout, it is an 

inspirational, energetic and riotously funny read, and a fitting celebration of 

our greatest ever comedian.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior clients 

visit complaining of pain in one or both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around the 

joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back 

muscle could also be the cause, as shown in 

the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old 

client with severe arthritis who walked with a 

stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair, 

I cannot put any weight through my right leg 

due to pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within 

4 treatments, she was walking with her stick 

but without the severe pain,” says Ietje. “The 

arthritis was one of the factors that made her 

muscles spasm but the other was that older 

people move less and the flexed position 

the hip is in when we sit is particularly bad 

for the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health and 

wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

(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 will know if 

it is going to work for them or not, without 

financial commitment.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

A natural remedy for good health 

Black Seed oil is often referred to as “The Remedy 

for all things.” The Prophet Muhammad called it “a 

remedy for every illness except death.” Black seed 

oil is extracted from black cumin seeds (Nigella 

sativa) & has been used therapeutically for over 

3,300 years, since its first reported discovery in 

King Tutankhamun’s tomb. For thousands of years 

it has been used by practitioners of Ayurvedic & 

Chinese traditional medicine for an endless list of 

conditions, from migraines to diabetes & cancer. 

Since 1959 scientists have carried out over 600 

peer review studies proving many of its remarkable 

health benefits. It has been shown to be medicinally 

very effective against various illnesses including: 

cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, inflammatory 

conditions, infertility, neurological & mental illness 

as well as various infectious diseases due to bacterial, 

fungal, parasitic, & viral infections. According 

to the “National Institute of Health” superbugs 

are becoming a significant public health risk 

as they are virtually impossible to treat. In the 

USA an increasing number of hospital patients 

are developing infections from superbugs with 

more than 90,000 of these patients dying every 

year. Researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical 

College wanted to confirm the benefits of black 

seed oil against these superbugs compared with 

common antibiotics. According to the study, 

“out of 144 strains of superbugs tested, most of 

which were resistant to a number of antibiotics, 

97 were inhibited by the black seed oil. Microbes 

or micro-organisms have been linked to most 

disease & there are few things known to be 

as effective against them as the black seed oil.

found that the phytochemicals in black seed oil 

resulted in a 52% decrease in tumor cells. Diabetes 

drugs can have numerous side effects but research 

by the “Indian Council of Medicine” found that 

black seed oil helps regenerate pancreatic cells & 

decreases elevated serum glucose in both type 1 & 

type 2 diabetes. 

Amazing Herbs in the USA produce the original 

& #1 selling organically sourced premium black 

seed oil. When looking at unbiased reviews of 

this oil on the internet it is amazing to see the 

incredible results people are getting with it. 

Comments like: miracle product, this product is 

amazing, it works!!! It really works! are common.

Put your shine on for Race Day! 

Race Day is around the corner and your 

appearance is on the top of your mind. You are 

probably thinking about your outfit. Your style. 

Your lips. Your smile. Your skin. Oh yes, your 

skin. 

Your skin is just coming out of its winter 

hibernation and is thirsty for attention. Now is 

the time to contact Turn Back Time Beauty for 

care. 

These local skin experts are home to a machine 

that is sweeping the globe. This machine is based 

on LED technology and offers eleven beauty and 

healing treatments within one facial mask. 

LED was invented by NASA as they were 

looking for a light source to grow plants in space, 

from this they found that it had amazing skin 

cell rejuvenation and it wasn’t long before LED 

infrared was used in hospitals around the world. 

Doctors then noticed patients started looking 

younger whilst under a program of RED LED 

light treatments after their surgery and injuries, 

which led them to study colour. It was found that 

skin cells recognise colour and that each colour 

has a job to play in the performance of the living 

skin cell. 

People from all over are experiencing 

documented results in: 

Anti-Ageing – Wrinkles, Age spots, Scaring 

Anti-Acne – Antibacterial, Reduces 

inflammation 

Cell Rejuvenation - Eczema 

Reduce Redness – Rosacea, Sunburn 

Even Skin Tones – Hyper-Pigmentation

A REMARKABLE NATURAL 

REMEDY FOR GOOD HEALTH 

Black Seed oil is often referred to as “The Remedy for all 

things.” The Prophet Muhammad called it “a remedy for every 

illness except death.” Black seed oil is extracted from black 

cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) & has been used therapeutically 

for over 3,300 years, since its first reported discovery in King 

Tutankhamun’s tomb. It has been used for an endless list of 

conditions by Ayurvedic & Chinese traditional doctors & has 

been extensively researched worldwide since 1959 with over 

600 scientific studies. Many users report remarkable results 

especially where nothing else has worked.
