Roading,
rates
reductions
priorities
for new
councillor
• By Claire Booker
THE PEOPLE who voted Sam
MacDonald onto the city council
can be guaranteed he will try and
fix their roads and reduce their
rates.
Cr MacDonald is the new councillor
for the Waimairi Ward,
after spending the last three years
on the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board, and
past 18 months as chairman.
He plans to address the roading
issues by making sure it is a priority
in the next long term plan and
hopes to see visible progress in
the next year.
“If we can tidy up our roads and
our footpaths, that’s what our local
ratepayers are wanting.
“I will be working with my
new colleagues to make sure it
[roading repairs] is a priority in
the annual and long term plans,”
he said.
In terms of rates reduction, Cr
MacDonald said the best way to
achieve this would be by ensuring
the city council is run efficiently
to lower its operating expenses.

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

community so they can keep
pressuring for the best outcome

he said.

The students have already
presented their findings to

In Brief
KAPUATOHE REPAIRS
Earthquake repairs and strengthening
work is set to start this
month on the Kapuatohe former
schoolmaster’s house and cottage
in Belfast. Neighbours may notice
extra noise during construction,
and fencing will be up around
both buildings. Once the repairs
are complete, it is intended the
buildings will be used for residential
purposes. Work is expected to
be finished mid-next year.
HEALTH CENTRE CONSENT
A decision on a resource consent
application for a new health
centre in Ilam is expected in
the next two weeks. Doctors,
physiotherapy, podiatry, mental
health services, a pharmacy and
gift shop are earmarked for the
Memorial Ave complex which will
be called Ilam Health. The twostorey
building will be 1267 sq m,
with 46 car parking spaces.

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…
Bella’s mum, Jo

RETIREMENT village
residents practised their
dance moves for months
before performing a flash
mob in the middle of
Northlands Shopping
Centre last week.
Residents at the Summerset
on Cavendish in
Casebrook have been busting
out dance moves for
the last two months four
times a week in the lead up
to last week’s flash mob.
Resident Gary Busfield,
76, and his wife Dawn were
dancers in the flash mob,
and said the whole thing
was “brilliant.”
“We got to know people
who live in the village
From page 1
Corban prevailed in the
junior ski 13 to 15-year-old
lites, the amateur classic ski
and amateur ski lites class.
He not only beat the best jet
ski riders in his age-group,
but adults as well.
“My goal was to win one
but it was pretty cool to win
all three,” he said.
“It was very rough conditions
over there and I love
much better, and we got a
bit of exercise at the same
time.
“It was an honour to be
there. At first, we were reluctant
to do it – we didn’t
know what the hell we
were getting ourselves into,
but as time went on, we got
more and more enthusiastic,”
Mr Busfield said.
Village manager Stephanie
Meehan came up with
the idea to show people
that going into a retirement
village doesn’t mean
you are old and can’t do
things.
“I wanted to show people
a snippet of our wonderful
residents and the fun that
we get up to. So I came
up with the idea of a flash
racing in that so it really
helped me. Often it was very
windy but that suited me.
We all do 10 laps and race
each other at the same time.
A lap can take up to 2min.”
The jet skiers reach speeds
of up to 50km/h, Corban
has been racing since he
was 10, but first got on a jet
ski when he was five.
His father Chris, was a
national champion in 1995
mob as everyone has fun
when they dance,” she
said.
Some residents even
turned down visits with
their families because they
were “too busy at dance
rehearsals.”
Mrs Meehan said the
flash mob has helped to gel
the community together.
“Often when I walked
around the village I would
hear the mix match of music
being played and look
into the recreation centre
and see groups of residents
practising their steps.
“It’s been a beautiful
and enlightening time to
be a Village Manager and
watch our wonderful residents
blossom,” she said.
Rough conditions suit racer
and owns a jet ski shop. “At
the start dad was my trainer
and I just got on with it
and gave it a go and really
enjoyed it.”
Corban will focus on the
national championships
in March at Cambridge.
“There will be plenty of
racing for me to do over the
summer, but the nationals
will be my major focus to
get ready for.”

Four new community board faces
• By Claire Booker
FOUR NEW faces have been
elected to represent community
boards in Papanui, Innes,
Waimairi and Harewood.
In the Papanui Ward, Simon
Britten has been elected to the
Papanui-Innes Community
Board. He is joined by Emma
Twaddell, who has taken the
community board seat for Innes.
Mr Britten won his seat by 18
votes against Nathan McCluskey,
this was the closest margin in
community board seats across
the city.
Ms Twaddell said she has
received positive feedback from
the community on her election,
and hopes her “big-picture view
of the world” will be a good skill
in the new role.
Ms Twaddell is excited to be on
the other side of the council, after
18 years of watching as a resident.
“I’m looking forward to getting
more insight of how the council
and community board works and
see if I can piece it together and
make it work better,” she said.
Community board members
Emma Norrish and Ali Jones
both retained their board seats,
with former members John
Stringer and Jo Byrne losing their
seats.
In the Waimairi Ward, Mike
Wall has been elected to the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Simon Britten
Emma
Twaddell
Community Board, and he is
joined by Harewood Ward community
board newcomer Jason
Middlemiss.
Mr Wall has more than 18
years of experience in local
government. He served on the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board for three
terms – two as chairman – before
being elected as the Waimairi
Ward councillor.
The ex-police officer was “overwhelmed
and surprised” to be
elected onto the board after not
being involved for more than six
years.
Mr Wall’s key priorities are
repairing footpaths and roads in
the area, particularly in Russley
which he said: “Didn’t look like
they have been touched since
they were put in 30 or 40 years
ago.”
Mr Wall is looking to put his
name forward for the role of
chairman but said he would not
be too worried if he didn’t get it.
Jason
Middlemiss

“We just need to get on with
things,” he said.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board members
Bridget Williams, David
Cartwright, Shirish Paranjape
and Linda Chen were all reelected.
Aaron Campbell departed the
community board with the hope
of securing an Environment
Canterbury Christchurch West
seat but was unsuccessful.
The first meetings of the new
term will be held on November 4
(Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood)
and November 8 (Papanui-
Innes).

He is not opposed to reviewing
assets, and would never rule out
asset sales, but he said that would
require a majority of councillors
to vote in favour, which he
thought was unlikely.
“I would never rule it [asset
sales] out, but I think in the
practical way is driving efficiency
changes to reduce rates,” he said.
Cr MacDonald has secured the
city council seat after formercouncillor
Raf Manji decided not
to run for re-election.
Cr MacDonald hopes his background
as a chartered accountant
will serve him well in his new
role.

I thought it would be really
useful to do that,” he said.
Cr MacDonald said it is a “huge
privilege” to be able to represent
the Waimairi Ward, and he was
“thrilled with the result”.
His other key priorities include
tackling the issue of water chlorination
and getting the multi-use
arena under way, but he will also
remain “fully committed” to local
issues.
“As much as I will take on that
city-wide focus in the new role, I
will obviously continue to focus
on local issues for everyone,” he
said.
Councillor’s Mike Davidson,
Pauline Cotter, James Gough and
Aaron Keown have retained their
seats.

Young athletes up for Zonta Awards
• By Jacob Page
THE 29TH ZONTA Awards will
be held in Hornby on Thursday
to recognise the achievements
of Canterbury secondary school
athletes.
The annual event, initiated by
the Zonta Cub of Christchurch
South in 1990, is a highlight of
the year for many young people.

Movement classes promote
health and wellbeing
The importance of keeping our body
moving throughout our life is now widely
recognised – not only to maintain muscle
and bone strength, but also to help our
brain stay healthy and alert, and create a
sense of wellbeing and positivity.
Among the many options for regular
exercise and movement, such as walking,
cycling, swimming, going to the gym,
there is one that may not be so well
known, but offers a significant range of
health benefits for all ages – Nia, or nonimpact
aerobics.

It was here she discovered Nia. For her,
the combination of fitness training with
the expressiveness of dance, the power of
martial arts and the form of yoga was the
perfect way of exercising and moving the
body. She underwent extensive training
to become a teacher and established her
business Plensory Movement (Pleasurable
Sensory Movement) to provide classic
Nia classes. With the Nia movements
choregraphed to music, students
experience what she describes as “the joy
of movement”.
“It’s about creating a relationship with

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
NOR’WEST 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 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.
Croatian scientists studying mice with cancers
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.

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

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.

documented results in:
Anti-Ageing – Wrinkles, Age spots, Scaring
Anti-Acne – Antibacterial, Reduces

filled living areas have huge walls of glass
and over height ceilings giving a spacious
bright feel. The stunning streamlined
kitchen has engineered stone benchtops,
an island breakfast bar, walk-in-pantry
and a clever study nook for flicking off
the quick email while you wait for dinner.
Warm timber floors and deep charcoal

the cooling sea breezes. It has a large walkin-robe
and fully tiled ensuite bathroom
