AFTER 360,000km patrolling<br />

the streets and stopping crime,<br />

‘Ten’ the Christchurch North<br />

Community Patrol car has had<br />

enough.<br />

Ten was bought 10 years ago<br />

for $2500, and since then, about<br />

360,000km – Ten now destined for the crusher<br />

OUT WITH THE OLD: Christchurch North Community Patrol chairman Sam Hall says it is time for patrol car Ten to be replaced<br />

after 360,000km patrolling the streets.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

$7000 has been spent on keeping<br />

it running.<br />

The Honda CRV was once the<br />

10th car in the fleet, hence the<br />

name, but now, she has reached<br />

the end of her life.<br />

Said patrol chairman Sam<br />

Hall: “She’s a bit noisy, she’s a<br />

bit rattly, she’s safe, but we are<br />

very careful about the bumps<br />

we go over.”<br />

It was decided the well-used<br />

vehicle had to go when the patrol<br />

could no longer patch<br />

her up, and the bills got too<br />

much.<br />

The mechanic who has<br />

been servicing the car for years<br />

told Mr Hall it would cost a<br />

couple of thousand dollars in<br />

repairs to renew the warrant,<br />

which is due at the end of the<br />

month.<br />

“He told me: I’ve done all I<br />

can, but it won’t pass the next<br />

warrant,” Mr Hall said.<br />

‘ecstatic’<br />

liquor store<br />

application<br />

withdrawn<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

IT WAS a win for the Fendalton<br />

community when the application<br />

for a liquor store on Memorial<br />

Ave was withdrawn.<br />

A record-breaking 207 objections<br />

were submitted to the city<br />

council over the proposed bottle<br />

shop on Memorial Ave.<br />

Last week, the applicant<br />

Manpreet Kaur, who also owns<br />

Sockburn Bottle-O, withdrew<br />

the application for an off-licence<br />

consent for the store after an<br />

independent adviser told her the<br />

process would be a “waste of time<br />

and money.”<br />

Said Mrs Kaur: “We were<br />

expecting objections, but not that<br />

many. We respect the community,<br />

if they do not want it, we don’t<br />

want to annoy them.”<br />

Mrs Kaur said at the end of the<br />

day, it is just a business, and there<br />

would be no hard feelings.<br />

“If people don’t like it, it’s not a<br />

good idea for us to go in there.<br />

“I am happy people do look<br />

after their community,” she said.<br />

Fendalton resident and<br />

neighbour of the proposed shop,<br />

Isobel Anderson, was “absolutely<br />

ecstatic” the application had been<br />

withdrawn.<br />

Big Showbiz shoes to fill<br />

for Ilam’s Sarah Buchanan<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

“BIG SHOES to fill.”<br />

That is how Ilam’s Sarah<br />

Buchanan describes taking on<br />

the role of Showbiz Christchurch<br />

president following the<br />

resignation of Markham Lee<br />

about three weeks ago.<br />

Having a strong association<br />

with the company since 1989,<br />

Mrs Buchanan said taking<br />

on the role is an exciting new<br />

change.<br />

Mr Lee has served as president<br />

of Showbiz on and off since 1990<br />

with his association with Showbiz<br />

beginning in 1973 at age 11<br />

when he performed in Oliver!<br />

But it isn’t the only major<br />

change to the strong musical<br />

theatre company – which has<br />

been operating since 1938.<br />

Paul Christ will take over as<br />

general manager in January following<br />

Michael Bayly finishing<br />

in the role in mid-September.<br />

Mr Bayly, who served as<br />

general manager since May<br />

2015, has gone onto become the<br />

national on-premise manager at<br />

Cassels Brewing Co.<br />

Mr Christ has a wealth of<br />

experience in musical theatre<br />

having supervised, conducted<br />

and directed productions for<br />

Disney Theatrical Productions,<br />

Cameron Mackintosh and Vienna<br />

State Opera.<br />

He said Showbiz offers the<br />

perfect opportunity to draw on<br />

his professional musical theatre<br />

experience along with his work<br />

in commercial<br />

and not-forprofit<br />

art sectors.<br />

“I have<br />

travelled extensively<br />

for a<br />

large part of my<br />

Paul Christ<br />

career . . . it was<br />

time to come<br />

home and reconnect with family<br />

and put to use that industry<br />

experience to the advantage of<br />

the New Zealand performing<br />

arts sector.”<br />

Mrs Buchanan has a longstanding<br />

relationship with<br />

Showbiz having served as vicepresident<br />

for the past five years<br />

and been on the board since 2010.<br />

She said her role as president<br />

will be made easy due to having<br />

a “marvellous” team and board<br />

she has been able to delegate<br />

tasks to take the pressure off.<br />

BIG STEP: Sarah Buchanan will take over<br />

the reins as the new president for Showbiz<br />

Christchurch. ​<br />

“We are really lucky we have<br />

all these exciting shows coming<br />

through from the West End<br />

and we are able to stage them<br />

here which is fantastic,” Mrs<br />

Buchanan said.<br />

In September, Showbiz announced<br />

a dazzling season to be<br />

staged at the Isaac Theatre Royal<br />

next year starting off with My<br />

Fair Lady from April 3.<br />

In June, the music of Chess<br />

will be staged in<br />

concert with the<br />

Christchurch Symphony<br />

Orchestra.<br />

The final show of<br />

the year to be staged<br />

will be Buddy – The<br />

Buddy Holly Story<br />

featuring the music<br />

of American musician<br />

and singersongwriter<br />

Buddy<br />

Holly.<br />

Mrs Buchanan<br />

said the talent in the<br />

city is phenomenal<br />

and Showbiz has<br />

fantastic creatives<br />

who know how to<br />

put on a show.<br />

She has led an<br />

exciting career<br />

both on and off the<br />

stage including touring as a personal<br />

dresser with English singer<br />

Elaine Paige twice.<br />

Although she has taken on a<br />

major role at the company, Mrs<br />

Buchanan’s days in the spotlight<br />

are far from over.<br />

She will play the Queen<br />

of Transylvania and perform<br />

in the ensemble as part of My<br />

Fair Lady.<br />

In Brief<br />

SEWER RENEWALS<br />

Renewal of the sewers and laterals<br />

in Canon St between Barbadoes<br />

and Geraldine Sts was set to begin<br />

yesterday. A reduced speed limit<br />

will be in place near the site,<br />

and there may be restrictions to<br />

property access. Work is expected<br />

to be complete by December 24.<br />

HILLS RD OPENING DELAY<br />

The opening of Hills Rd near QE<br />

II Drive will be further delayed<br />

due to technical issues with the<br />

machinery used to seal the road.<br />

It was expected to open yesterday,<br />

but now it is expected to open in<br />

early December.<br />

PADDLING POOLS OPEN<br />

The paddling pools at Avebury<br />

and Abberley Parks are now open.<br />

Parents are reminded there are<br />

no lifeguards at these pools, so<br />

children must be supervised at<br />

all times. Both pools will be open<br />

until early March.<br />

YOUTH GRANTS APPROVED<br />

Seventeen young people and the<br />

Canterbury University athletics<br />

club received grants from the<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board last week.<br />

The board granted $3940 towards<br />

Fundraiser<br />

for patrol car<br />

• From page 1<br />

The main issues with the vehicle<br />

are rust, from years of being used<br />

for off-road driving following the<br />

earthquakes, and in floods.<br />

“We will find an option that will<br />

provide the most money to put<br />

towards a new vehicle. Our options<br />

are selling it as is where is, parts, or<br />

sending it to the wreckers,” Mr Hall<br />

said.<br />

The patrol has nearly raised<br />

enough to upgrade to a Suzuki Vitara<br />

– the standard vehicle for community<br />

patrols across the country<br />

– but it has started a givealittle page<br />

to raise the remaining $5000.<br />

In recent years, radiator troubles<br />

had caused the patrol to be called<br />

off, and Mr Hall said they have<br />

been getting more callouts from<br />

police which they need to attend.<br />

Mr Hall said a highlight of the<br />

regular patrol meetings is hearing<br />

the car is still running but said it<br />

has just done its dash.<br />

“We will be a little bit sad to see<br />

it go, it will be the end of an era,<br />

but it will mark the start of a new<br />

era of looking out for the community.<br />

It’s been a hard 360,000km,”<br />

Mr Hall said.<br />

Healthy trees to be chopped for drain renewal<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

A DRAIN which has not been<br />

maintained since the 1960s will<br />

be renewed next year.<br />

But it will mean about 100<br />

healthy trees and shelterbelts<br />

will get the chop.<br />

The Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board voted on Friday to<br />

approve the removal of the trees<br />

along the Canal Reserve Drain<br />

on Marshland Rd between<br />

‘Clearly there was no, or little, support’<br />

• From page 1<br />

“I just didn’t think that [application<br />

withdrawal] could ever<br />

happen.<br />

“It was so frightening someone<br />

could come in and upset a whole<br />

community. It’s just such a relief,”<br />

she said.<br />

Those who made submissions<br />

against the liquor licence were<br />

notified about the withdrawal by<br />

the district licensing committee<br />

on Wednesday last week.<br />

Fendalton resident Ashley<br />

Seaford said the result was good<br />

news for the community and its<br />

young people.<br />

“From the number of submissions<br />

clearly there was no, or<br />

little, support for this business in<br />

our neighbourhood,” he said.<br />

Prior to the application being<br />

withdrawn, the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community<br />

Board requested the right to voice<br />

its opposition to the planned<br />

bottle shop at a district licensing<br />

committee hearing.<br />

City councillor and board<br />

member James Gough said it was<br />

clear the community was fundamentally<br />

opposed to the liquor<br />

store and said the site appeared<br />

to be “a completely inappropriate<br />

place for a liquor outlet.”<br />

“This is a superb outcome, but<br />

I think the outcome was always<br />

going to be the same. I think<br />

[the applicants] made a good<br />

decision,” Cr Gough said.<br />

Mairehau and Hawkins Rds.<br />

City councillor and board<br />

member Pauline Cotter said<br />

council staff worked closely<br />

with the community regarding<br />

the tree removal.<br />

Said Cr Cotter: “Nobody<br />

wants to cut down healthy trees<br />

unless we have to. It’s for the<br />

greater benefit.”<br />

About 600m south of the<br />

Hawkins Styx river intersection<br />

is a spawning habitat for<br />

Lamprey, a type of jawless fish<br />

similar to eels.<br />

The city council will work<br />

with NIWA, the Department of<br />

Conservation, and local ecologists<br />

to decide the best way to<br />

renew the drain in this area.<br />

The drain is to be renewed to<br />

reduce the potential flood risk<br />

and associated damage with the<br />

road.<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Work is set to begin early next<br />

year and run until 2021.<br />

Tree removals include two<br />

native totara trees, weeping<br />

willows, silver birch, cypress,<br />

cherry plum trees and magnolia,<br />

among others.<br />

Once the renewal is complete,<br />

the waterway will be landscaped<br />

with riparian planting,<br />

including native shrubs and<br />

larger growing native and exotic<br />

trees where space allows.<br />

RELIEVED: Isobel Anderson delivered thousands of flyers<br />

alerting her neighbours of the proposed liquor store on<br />

Memorial Ave, last week the application was withdrawn.<br />

Two-storey health centre<br />

approved for Memorial Ave<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

A NEW health centre in Ilam<br />

has been given the green light.<br />

Resource consent has been<br />

granted for the new two-storey<br />

health centre on Memorial Ave.<br />

Doctors, physiotherapy, podiatry,<br />

mental health services, a<br />

pharmacy and gift shop are earmarked<br />

for the complex which<br />

will be called Ilam Health.<br />

The new centre will be 1<strong>26</strong>7 sq<br />

m in total on two levels, with 46<br />

car parking spaces and nine cycle<br />

parking spaces.<br />

It is predicted the centre will<br />

generate more than 940 vehicles<br />

movements per day at the site on<br />

Memorial Ave near Ilam Rd.<br />

Ilam Health will be open 7am-<br />

9pm seven days a week, and may<br />

request additional consent to be<br />

open for a 24-hour surgery in the<br />

future.<br />

The medical centre will increase<br />

from nine clinical spaces<br />

to 16, meaning there will be six<br />

doctors on hand.<br />

Pegasus Health has endorsed<br />

the clinic on the basis that population<br />

growth in the north of the<br />

city has put pressure on many<br />

practices, meaning they are no<br />

longer taking new patients.<br />

BRAND NEW: A concept drawing of the new Ilam Health centre, which will consolidate multiple<br />

health services on Memorial Ave. ​<br />

“This includes Ilam Medical<br />

Centre and has resulted in patients<br />

having to travel further for<br />

health care. The expansion of Ilam<br />

Medical Centre to larger rooms<br />

as part of Ilam Health will aid in<br />

alleviating this issue,” a Pegasus<br />

Health spokeswoman said.<br />

Neighbouring residents raised<br />

some concerns over the size of<br />

the proposal, causing adverse effects<br />

on the residential character<br />

of the area, but hearings panel<br />

commissioner Justine Ashley<br />

disagreed.<br />

“While the proposal is substantial,<br />

it is able to be absorbed<br />

into the mixed character of the<br />

receiving environment, which retaining<br />

a high-quality residential<br />

amenity,” the commissioner’s<br />

report said.<br />

Pegasus health said its goal for<br />

the future is that primary health<br />

care services are moving in the<br />

direction of more integration,<br />

bringing together a number of<br />

services within one complex.<br />

It is expected construction will<br />

begin on Ilam Health next year.<br />

Council<br />

responds to<br />

mall review<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

THE CITY council has made a<br />

response to the judicial review<br />

over the proposed expansion of<br />

Merivale Mall.<br />

Merivale residents were shocked<br />

and angry the resource consent<br />

had been granted without any<br />

form of public consultation, and<br />

described the process as “rushed<br />

and not needed.”<br />

Mall owners have been granted<br />

consent to increase the size of the<br />

mall by 87 per cent, and build a<br />

three-level car park and 24 twostorey<br />

homes in the area.<br />

But a group of residents decided<br />

to challenge the process which<br />

granted the non-notified consent<br />

in a bid to get the consent revoked.<br />

Last week, the city council issued<br />

its response to the judicial<br />

review in the district court.<br />

The hearings panel, which<br />

granted the resource consent for<br />

the mall expansion found there<br />

would be no adverse effects on the<br />

community, and the expansion<br />

would have “negligible” impact on<br />

Papanui Rd traffic volumes.<br />

City council head of resource<br />

consents John Higgins said the<br />

panel appreciated the public<br />

concerns but was bound by the<br />

statutory process under the<br />

Resource Management Act.<br />

Tough kids get wet and muddy<br />

MORE THAN 5000 primary and<br />

intermediate school pupils took<br />

on mud pits, obstacles and tyre<br />

runs as part of the annual MASH<br />

Tough Kid challenge held in<br />

South New Brighton last week.<br />

The event first started following<br />

earthquakes to encourage sports<br />

participation and boost morale,<br />

now it also helps reduce screen<br />

time and improve mental health.<br />

Schools from across Canterbury<br />

got involved, with some<br />

coming from as far as Hanmer<br />

Springs and Windwhistle.<br />

The 2.7km course included<br />

waterslides, mud pits, inflatable<br />

obstacles and tyre runs. It ran<br />

through the forest and followed<br />

the estuary, finishing in the South<br />

new Brighton Domain.<br />

Said event co-ordinator, Isaac<br />

Sutherland: “It has been so exciting<br />

to see the number of schools<br />

getting involved with this event.<br />

We have schools that have been<br />

schools who send the entire roll,<br />

and new schools who have come<br />

on board to sample what the<br />

event has to offer.”<br />

Said Cathedral Grammar<br />

School teacher Kirsty Bond: “The<br />

kids love getting out and getting<br />

wet and muddy. The smiles on<br />

their faces speak for themselves.”<br />

Readers respond to the<br />

<strong>November</strong> 12 article in<br />

the Nor’West <strong>News</strong> about<br />

increased police presence<br />

in Bishopdale<br />

Rosalie Griffith – I am<br />

delighted to hear that there is<br />

supposed to be a reduction of<br />

crime in Bishopdale, but the<br />

truth of the matter is that it<br />

doesn’t seem to be happening.<br />

Over last weekend alone there<br />

were car and house windows<br />

targeted with eggs, and two<br />

homes had windows broken by<br />

thrown stones in Cotswold Ave<br />

and Harewood Rd.<br />

A silver sedan was seen racing<br />

away from one area and we heard<br />

of one car being stolen recently<br />

from Harewood Rd. The egging<br />

activities are happening between<br />

9 to 10pm Wednesday to Sunday<br />

and the stones were thrown,<br />

breaking windows on Sunday<br />

night.<br />

We are aware that the police<br />

cannot be everywhere, so<br />

everyone travelling after dark<br />

in Bishopdale please keep an<br />

eye open and help the police to<br />

apprehend these unkind and<br />

cruel bullies.<br />

Sandra Ann Dougall –<br />

Further to your article regarding<br />

rocks being thrown through<br />

windows in the Bishopdale area,<br />

on Sunday night, <strong>November</strong> 10,<br />

I had a rock thrown through<br />

my lounge window, I live on<br />

The glazier who replaced the<br />

window said that day he had<br />

also attended to the same thing<br />

School raises funds for charity<br />

supporting children of prisoners<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Well-earned<br />

ethics win for<br />

St Margaret’s<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

THREE ST ANDREW’S College<br />

students have raised more<br />

than $1250 for an organisation<br />

that supports the children of<br />

prisoners.<br />

Year 11 middle school leaders<br />

Isabella Galvan, Jack Calder<br />

and Oscar Bloom organised a<br />

mufti day last term for Pillars,<br />

an organisation started by Verna<br />

McFelin who was left to look after<br />

her four children alone when<br />

her husband was sentenced to 11<br />

years in prison.<br />

Pillars is supported by several<br />

schools each year, and Mrs<br />

McFelin said the organisation<br />

does not have the resources to<br />

travel around schools to promote<br />

the work they do, because the<br />

money they have goes directly<br />

to supporting the children who<br />

need it.<br />

Said Mrs McFelin of the donation:<br />

“This will have a major<br />

effect. It will ensure that mentors<br />

and children are supported<br />

where it is most needed.”<br />

Oscar said the trio worked<br />

hard to make sure the cause was<br />

well-known around the secondary<br />

school.<br />

HELPING OUT: Year 11 St Andrew’s College pupils Isabella<br />

Galvan (left), year 11 dean Liz Gormack, Jack Calder and Oscar<br />

Bloom raised more than $1250 for Pillars, which supports<br />

children of prisoners. ​<br />

“We wanted people to know<br />

what they were fundraising for<br />

and be able to buy into the amazing<br />

work Pillars does. By the end<br />

of the mufti day, we felt people<br />

all around the school knew about<br />

Pillars and that was probably<br />

what made it such a success.<br />

“The work [Pillars] does is so<br />

incredible and makes a profound<br />

difference to the families in its<br />

care. We wanted to fundraise<br />

for a charity that was based<br />

in Christchurch and did stuff<br />

that helped<br />

improve the<br />

livelihoods<br />

of people<br />

our own age<br />

as we felt<br />

teenagers are<br />

sometimes<br />

overlooked,”<br />

Oscar said.<br />

The pupils Verna McFelin<br />

met with<br />

Michelle Mathijssen, who is<br />

the project manager based in<br />

Christchurch for Pillars, and Oscar<br />

said it was great to sit down<br />

and learn more about the work<br />

Pillars does.<br />

“We felt that we learnt more<br />

about people less fortunate than<br />

ourselves who deserve dignity,<br />

respect and opportunity,” he said.<br />

There are 23,000 children in<br />

New Zealand at the moment<br />

who have parents in prison, Mrs<br />

McFelin said those children are<br />

9.5 times more likely to end up in<br />

prison without good support.<br />

“We are very grateful and<br />

thankful that the young people<br />

and staff at St Andrew’s College<br />

recognise Pillars services as a<br />

vital community need,” Mrs<br />

McFelin said.<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

A GROUP of St Margaret’s<br />

College Year 9 students took<br />

home gold medals from<br />

Christchurch’s Middle School<br />

Ethics Olympiad competition.<br />

And it was only the first year<br />

the competition has been held<br />

in New Zealand, with previous<br />

ones being in Australia.<br />

The group of five students<br />

beat Hillmorton High School<br />

in a close finish, answering<br />

questions on subjects including<br />

lying, donations, tracking apps,<br />

relationships, dog ownership, the<br />

environment and charities.<br />

Said Hannah Wylie: “Preparing<br />

for the competition was slightly<br />

tricky because we didn’t know<br />

which one of three questions they<br />

would ask for each case.”<br />

The students practised every<br />

Monday and Tuesday in their<br />

lunch hour for more than a<br />

month prior to the competition<br />

and went over questions in their<br />

term 3 school holidays.<br />

Hannah said the students look<br />

forward to competing in the senior<br />

competition next year.<br />

“It has been such a great<br />

experience competing and<br />

preparing for these events.”<br />

Criterium title claimed<br />

SPORT<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

by Pithie of CBHS<br />

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High<br />

School’s Laurence Pithie claimed<br />

his first elite national title by<br />

claiming the criterium title in a<br />

sprint finish in Christchurch.<br />

Pithie was part of a six-strong<br />

break on the 1.1km course<br />

around Cashel St and Oxford<br />

Terrace, that featured his<br />

Canterbury teammate Andrew<br />

Bidwell, Marlborough’s Ethan<br />

Batt, Manawatu’s Joel Yates,<br />

Dutchman Antonie van Noppen<br />

and Vantage New Zealand track<br />

squad rider, Josh Scott.<br />

They pushed clear after a crash<br />

split the 41-strong field.<br />

The chasing group worked hard<br />

to close to just 7sec behind in the<br />

race over the following 40min but<br />

eventually ran out of time.<br />

Bidwell and Pithie had worked<br />

hard in the middle stages of the<br />

race but it was Batt who made the<br />

break in the home straight, only<br />

to be out-kicked by Pithie, who<br />

adds a national champion jersey<br />

to his two rainbow jerseys won<br />

on the track.<br />

“It was awesome to bring it<br />

home in front of a home crowd,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I am really stoked with it.<br />

“I have to thank Andrew Bidwell.<br />

If it wasn’t for him, I would<br />

not have had the energy at the<br />

end. He towed me around all day.<br />

It was great teamwork.”<br />

In spite of leading for four laps<br />

and setting the pace, Pithie was<br />

pleased with his tactics.<br />

“I played it pretty cagey,” he<br />

said.<br />

“I knew there were such strong<br />

guys like Ethan Batt and Joel<br />

Yates who have raced overseas<br />

and done all the criterium circuits.<br />

I knew I had to follow and<br />

stay with them.<br />

“Ethan went for it in the sprint<br />

and I managed to go with him<br />

and hold his wheel. It was the<br />

perfect leadout and I managed to<br />

kick around him in the end.<br />

“It has certainly been a year to<br />

remember.”<br />

Medbury earns<br />

national cricket title<br />

THE MEDBURY 1st XI cricket<br />

team won this year’s national<br />

primary school tournament on<br />

Wednesday.<br />

The twenty20 round-robin<br />

tournament was held at Lincoln<br />

University at the New Zealand<br />

Cricket High Performance Centre,<br />

and at the Lincoln Domain.<br />

Medbury competed against<br />

teams from Auckland, Northern<br />

Districts, Central Districts,<br />

Wellington and Otago.<br />

They finished the competition<br />

with three wins, one loss and<br />

one abandoned game with their<br />

superior run-rate seeing them<br />

win the competition over Havelock<br />

North’s Hereworth School<br />

and Auckland’s King’s School<br />

who both had the same record.<br />

Coach John Ogston said his<br />

team applied themselves well<br />

under the scrutiny of the tournament,<br />

“It was a pleasure for all<br />

involved in the Lincoln-based<br />

tournament to be able to use<br />

the impressive facilities New<br />

Zealand Cricket has to offer.<br />

“The standard of cricket was<br />

extremely competitive with<br />

the six teams involved having<br />

qualified from the their respective<br />

district.<br />

What pleased me most was<br />

seeing our boys respond under<br />

pressure and the support they<br />

gave their team mates in tightly<br />

fought contests.”<br />

Headmaster, Ian Macpherson<br />

is delighted for the boys who<br />

clearly applied the Medbury<br />

values of perseverance, loyalty<br />

and respect for the opposition<br />

throughout the tournament.<br />

Shops bursting with<br />

festive gift ideas<br />

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the<br />

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so.<br />

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as<br />

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at<br />

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops<br />

are bursting with festive merchandise.<br />

Every woman likes to receive body pampering<br />

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced<br />

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift<br />

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite<br />

and again there is a wide selection to choose from,<br />

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,<br />

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor<br />

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on<br />

the list.<br />

The men are equally well catered for, from the<br />

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy<br />

Go Karting at Christchurch’s<br />

Premier Indoor Track<br />

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener<br />

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a<br />

smile on their face on Christmas morning.<br />

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy<br />

than seeing the excitement of the children opening<br />

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa<br />

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly<br />

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy<br />

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling<br />

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />

the smallest family members.<br />

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas<br />

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards<br />

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />

to please.<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

Open Day<br />

november 30th <strong>2019</strong><br />

FINALLY, our “new build” is complete and we’d love to personally<br />

show you all around on our OPEN DAY, which is fast approaching.<br />

We are very proud of what we have achieved,<br />

something that hasn’t been seen in small<br />

animal practice before - completely separate<br />

cat and dog reception, consulting, surgical<br />

and ICU treatment areas.<br />

This new edition has been seven years in<br />

the making - a lot of time and energy has<br />

been dedicated to this project as well as<br />

decisions to be made on a daily basis. We<br />

bought the old house next to the clinic in<br />

2012 anticipating we would expand one day.<br />

It was so exciting to finally see foundations<br />

being laid.<br />

grow it, but we have. We now we have a<br />

staff of 27, a team of eight veterinarians with<br />

different skill sets and interests - something<br />

we are very proud of and have tried hard to<br />

achieve. We want our clients to have all their<br />

needs met, and those of their precious pets,<br />

all under one roof.<br />

Old house converted to new extension.<br />

Demolition time.<br />

To go back 20 years ….. In 1999 we took over<br />

the reins of Rozens Vet Clinic ( which was an<br />

old house situated in our carpark). We have<br />

very fond memories of our early days there<br />

and we were a small yet enthusiastic staff<br />

of six back then. Our small garage doubled<br />

as a cattery, our carpark was flooded most<br />

of winter and inhabited by Mallards, X-rays<br />

were manually developed in the toilet and<br />

often we were so busy cages were stacked<br />

on top of each other in the surgical area.<br />

Our young sons, Connor and Dylan, often<br />

watched their mum and dad perform<br />

surgeries, cuddling and playing with kittens<br />

in the small staffroom. They were good times<br />

and we got to know some terrific, animal<br />

mad clients, who are still with us 20 years on.<br />

The Practice we work out of now was built<br />

in 2008 and never thought we would out<br />

Smartflow patient monitoring.<br />

Cat ICU and treatment area.<br />

Aside from the separate cat wing, our new<br />

280 square metre addition will feature<br />

space for rehabilitation and physiotherapy,<br />

a state off the art theatre and surgical wing<br />

for referral surgeries, a double dental room,<br />

another feline ward, large ultrasonography<br />

room and extra kennelling for about 20 dogs<br />

plus storage galore.<br />

We are very proud to now be able to offer<br />

Referral Surgery at McMaster & Heap Vets. Dr<br />

Helen Milner has now joined the team who<br />

is an Australian and New Zealand Registered<br />

Specialist in Small Animal Surgery. She will<br />

be able to offer a wide array of soft tissue,<br />

orthopaedic and neurological surgeries.<br />

ORIJEN and ACANA<br />

are proud to support<br />

McMaster & Heap with<br />

their hospital and NEW cat<br />

only treatment extension.<br />

The ORIJEN and ACANA<br />

Dog and Cat food range<br />

are available in the<br />

clinic.<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

We are also very fortunate to have the<br />

services of Dr Richard Lucy who does<br />

all the Echocardiography, Endoscopy<br />

and Abdominal and Musculoskeletal<br />

Ultrasonography in the Practice. Richard<br />

has also put pacemakers in dogs, performs<br />

our spinal taps and can also interpret MRI’s<br />

and CT scans. He’s consulted a lot by us all.<br />

Richard and Helens ethics, empathy, genuine<br />

love of all animals, professional style and<br />

incredibly high skill level fits with our aim of<br />

becoming a “Centre of Excellence”.<br />

Our other vets are also skilled up in areas<br />

of interest and passion to them - Steve<br />

with Ophthalmology, Dentistry and<br />

Reconstructive Surgery, Sara enjoying<br />

Dermatology and Exotics, Olivia a whiz at<br />

all tricky Dentistry, Kirsty is very competent<br />

in Soft Tissue Surgery, Chemotherapy and<br />

Transfusion Medicine and Catherine is a<br />

fantastic Medicine and Intensive Care expert<br />

as well as performing Ultrasounds whenever<br />

Richard is away. Me, I’m a jack of all trades,<br />

doing a little of everything but my passion<br />

lies with consulting and meeting new pets<br />

and people, radiography and surgery.<br />

Michele and steve in the cattery.<br />

In the past 20 years we have learnt heaps<br />

about running a successful business and<br />

working together as a team. One of our goals<br />

is to lead by example and empower our staff<br />

to be their best, enjoy what they are good<br />

at and love coming to work for us every day.<br />

The right people, with the right set of skills<br />

and attitude, are the key to our success.<br />

The NZL Veterinary industry is rapidly<br />

changing with many Practices being bought<br />

by Corporate Entities and amalgamating with<br />

practices. The need to keep up, diversify,<br />

provide flexibility and options for people<br />

and find your niche area is our future aim.<br />

We will never stand still and be complacent.<br />

We will listen to our clients and staff and see<br />

what they want from us going forward in the<br />

future.<br />

Cat clinic entrance.<br />

Theatre preparation & surgical scrub area.<br />

We have also moved fast with regards to<br />

technology. I’m not really a starter for change<br />

but Steve persisted and eventually had me<br />

sold on our new veterinary software system,<br />

EzyVet and our new patient monitoring and<br />

billing system, Smartflow. We are virtually<br />

paperless and you’ll see our nurses walking<br />

around with iPads updating flowsheets and<br />

monitoring anaesthetics. Now I couldn’t<br />

go back. This system is so accurate, very<br />

professional and way more efficient.<br />

I hope McMaster & Heap will stand the test<br />

of time, cementing itself in Christchurch, as a<br />

hospital who pride themselves on excellence,<br />

expertise, quality patient care and full<br />

commitment to our people and their pets.<br />

We would love to see you on Saturday<br />

30th <strong>November</strong> between 12-3pm for a look<br />

around at where your special furries stay<br />

when they are with us and enjoy a coffee,<br />

sausage sizzle and get advice or just enjoy<br />

a chat from our super staff and industry<br />

representatives who will be present on the<br />

day also. There will also be cat and dog<br />

goodie bags, raffles and discount vouchers<br />

on some foods.<br />

Hope to see you real soon.<br />

steve, Michele and Lola<br />

Summerset at Wigram serviced apartment resident, Alma with daughter Maree<br />

“ Since Mum’s been here,<br />

she’s just blossomed”<br />

From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had<br />

plenty of company throughout her whole life.<br />

So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter<br />

Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move,<br />

they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet.<br />

“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always<br />

something going on,” remarks Alma.<br />

When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he<br />

passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to<br />

deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly<br />

she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree.<br />

Alma with Maree as a toddler<br />

While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and<br />

has become more herself again.<br />

“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising.<br />

She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.”<br />

Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it<br />

needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming<br />

and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.”<br />

Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of<br />

working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom<br />

at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little<br />

outings. It’s a lovely place to be.”<br />

Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger.<br />

“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree.<br />

“It’s a relief for us to know that she’s taken care of. Dad would be so pleased to see she’s in a<br />

place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”<br />
