SPEED SKATER Ethan De
Rose will have a little bit of
extra baggage when he returns
home from the Winter Youth
Olympics in Switzerland.
The 17-year-old, who finished
year 13 at Shirley Boys’ High
School last year, led the charge
for New Zealand with a bronze
medal on the final day of
competition on January 24.
Competing in a mixed
nation team, De Rose looked
confident throughout the
knockout rounds, as his team
advanced to the bronze medal
race.

Motorists
ignoring
stop signs
concerns
resident
• By Matt Slaughter
LAWRY WOOTTON often
sees motorists running the stop
signs at the end of his street –
sometimes at speed.
The resident of Matlock St,
Woolston, says measures need to
be taken to make the stop signs at
the intersection of his street and
Randolph St safer.
The city council says this is not
a priority.
Said Mr Wootton: “We’ve had
a few accidents down the corner,
two major ones, actually, where
somebody had to be cut out of a
car a couple of years or so ago and
there was another car that went
through a house on the corner,
where children are.”
When these crashes happened
there was a give way at the end of
the street and this was replaced
with stop signs but these have been
ineffective, said Mr Wootton.
“I can see quite clearly from my
house the stop signs . . . I see on
an average, it would be a high 92
per cent of cars, they just amble
through stop signs, only a handful
actually stop,” he said.

Red zone idea for quake-damaged road
• By Louis Day
CITY COUNCILLOR Phil
Mauger has made a bid to get
parts of an earthquake-battered
road in the eastern suburbs
relocated to the red zone.
Cr Mauger said parts of New
Brighton Rd should be moved
30m to higher
ground in the
red zone away
from the Avon
River.
This makes
more sense than
Phil Mauger
the ongoing
patch-up costs
ratepayers face when the river
floods in high tides and heavy rain,
and damages the road, he said.
Cr Mauger said as a result of
his idea the city council put a $1
million planned maintenance
spend on New Brighton Rd
between Bower Ave and Wattle
Drive on hold.
Said Cr Mauger: “New
Brighton Rd should be moved
30m north up into the red zone
property. This would mean that
the new New Brighton Rd could
be constructed at a higher level
to avoid flooding then move the
stopbank back to cover old New
Brighton Rd.
“It is an insult to people in
the east’s intelligence to spend
a mill patching an old road that
will continue to flood when the
same money could be put toward
a new higher one that would be
much more suitable.”
Cr Mauger said relocation
of New Brighton Rd to red
zone land would be a priority
for himself and the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board he
sits on.

City council head of transport
Richard Osborne said if New
Brighton Rd was to be relocated
the project would need to be
added to the next Long Term Plan
which will be reviewed next year.
In Brief
DOG KILLED IN CRASH
A dog was killed when a car
crashed and flipped on to its roof
on Wednesdy morning. Two
people were also injured in the
incident just after 9.10 on Travis
Rd, west of the Anzac Drive
roundabout. One was moderately
injured and another sustained
minor injuries.
RICHMOND ROAD WORKS
The full reconstruction of
Warden St between Petrie St and
Hills Rd, Richmond has begun.
This work will involve installing
new drainage, footpaths, road
pavements, kerbs and berms. It
will also involve the relocation of
services where necessary. The work
will be done in two stages with the
Petrie St to Chancellor St section
starting last month and set to be
finished in September. Chancellor
St to Hills Rd is scheduled to start
in September.

Free refills
to combat
plastic waste
TAIORA QEII and South
Brighton Holiday Park are
amongst the Canterbury businesses
aiming to cut down
plastic pollution by providing
free water bottle refills.
They, along with Pioneer,
Graham Condon and Jellie Park
recreation and sport centres,
have joined the network of RefillNZ
stations.
RefillNZ is a non-profit organisation
that enlists hospitality
outlets around the country
to allow visitors to fill up their
reusable water bottles from the
tap for free.
It provides a poster and stickers
to participating businesses
letting people know that water
refilling is available on site. The
network also provides information
about the location of public
drinking fountains.
RefillNZ founder Jill Ford said
66 cafes, hotels, vineyards, i-sites
and other hospitality businesses
are now involved in the initiative
across Canterbury, including
The Store in Tai Tapu, and
Laneway Espresso on Durham St.
Three campaigners are
working for RefillNZ to
introduce new outlets to the
scheme with a goal of signing up
150 sites around the region this
year.
Borrowers rack up overdue
library book fees
• By Louis Day
LIBRARIES collected $315,916 in
fines for overdue, damaged and
lost books last year.
A staggering 4,734,658 books
were issued which is an increase
from the 4,664,676 books issued
in 2018 and $292,946 in fines
dished out in that year.
The city council currently has
$235,745 worth in outstanding
fines.
This comes as the city council
revealed the most issued book
of 2019 was British author Lee
Child’s Past Tense which is the
23rd book in the Jack Reacher
series. The crime thriller novel
series follows former American
military policeman, Jack Reacher,
who wanders throughout the
United States.
Child’s The Midnight Line,
which is the 22nd book in the series,
came in as the second most
issued book of last year.
Adults are charged 70c per day
for overdue books with a $21
maximum fine per item.
City council head of libraries
and information Carolyn
Robertson said the money from
fines was put into the libraries

general fund which helped offset
expenditure.
She said when an individual
with an adult membership returns
an overdue book to the
library, the fine is automatically
added to their membership record.
“If the fine is not paid within
one month, or the customer has
fines owing of $30 or more, then
the customer cannot borrow any
more items until such time the
fine is paid,” she said.
Ms Robertson said debt collection
agencies become involved
when fines exceed $30 and once an
item becomes 62 days overdue.
She said with lost or damaged
items individuals are charged the
total cost of the item, plus a $21
processing fee.
“A recovery fee is only charged
once an outstanding debt is
referred to a debt collection
agency.”

State of the art materials used at school
CATHOLIC Cathedral College’s
new office, administration and
classroom building is being
constructed using resilient,
sustainable systems, with timber
at its core.
Cross laminated timber,
known as CLT, forms the threestorey
$5.6 million building’s
structural framework and this is
just the beginning.
Catholic Cathedral College is
an integrated Catholic co-educational
secondary school. It was
founded in 1987 but its origins
go back more than 150 years.
The college is an amalgamation
of two schools – Sacred Heart
College for girls and Xavier College
for boys and today has a roll
of 460.
Catholic Education Office
manager Mike Nolan said the
urgent message of Pope Francis
relates to the need to care for our
common home.
“Cross laminated timber
brings a huge advantage to the
environment through efficient
application of the world’s most
sustainable, renewable, building
resource – wood. The primary
environmental benefit of this
type of construction, over a
more conventional steel and
concrete solution, is the reduced
greenhouse emissions associated
with the construction materials,”
he said.
CONSTRUCTION: Catholic Education Office manager Mike
Nolan and Catholic Cathedral College principal Tony Shaw in
front of a new cross-laminated timber school building being
constructed.
Timber construction materials
have lower embodied carbon
than traditional construction
materials, which is a measure
of the sum of all the emissions
generated during the manufacture
of the building products
and materials used in the new
building.
Wood takes in carbon dioxide
straight from the atmosphere
as the trees grow, resulting in a
small carbon footprint, whereas
steel and concrete have high
embodied carbon that cannot be
offset.
Said Mr Nolan: “Figures we
have received for a hypothetical
similar building using steel and
concrete on the level one and
level two floors, shows a net
increase of approximately 334
tonnes of carbon compared with
cross-laminate timber. Using
wood means a negative total
carbon footprint of 160 tonnes,
while steel and concrete would
add 174 tonnes to the environment.
“In simple terms it equates to
taking 110 standard cars off the
road for one year,” he said.
Work commenced on the new
WSP-designed building in July
and is expected to take a year
to construct. The building will
include a new administration,
reception, offices and staffroom
on the ground floor; four teaching
spaces and offices on the first
floor and the same on the second
floor.
The building will also feature
a heat recovery mechanical
ventilation system, low energy
lighting and elevator, and a high
rated thermal envelope reducing
the energy use of the building
when in operation.
Timber, in this application,
provides a resilient structural
solution, that is expected to sustain
minimal structural damage
following a major earthquake,
further adding to its sustainability.
“While the use of timber
in mid-rise commercial/
educational buildings is well
established in Europe, it is an
emerging technology type in
New Zealand, and we are excited
about timber’s resilience and
efficiency,” Mr Nolan said.

•From page 1
He said the result exceeded his
own expectations.
“We all skated really well and
we’re so happy to come away with
a bronze medal. This was a huge
highlight, I definitely didn’t think
I’d end up with a medal so I’m
super stoked.”
De Rose combined with
Italian Thomas Nadalini,
Korean Min Seo and Great
Britain’s Olivia Weedon for the
medal.
He had been based in Calgary,
Canada since November training
in preparation for the Winter
Youth Olympics.
De Rose began speed skating at
age four.
He trains at the Canterbury
Alpine Ice Speed Skating Club
three times a week with coach
Ben Whiteside.

I've been running a bespoke software development company in
Christchurch since the end of 2018. One of my biggest struggles has always
been to find reliable and talented developers to help me with projects
when things get busy. I originally reached out to the team at Vision
College to do some mentoring. I mentioned my struggles and they put me
in contact with one of their students, Declan.
Declan has been such a help, his ability to be productive right
away and the ease in which he picked up new concepts was
impressive. It really is a testament to the fact that vision
college isn't just teaching specific technologies and theory,
but rather empowering their students to become lifelong
learners. In the software development industry, you never
stop learning. There is always something new and better,
and Declan has really proven himself more than capable of
keeping up. I look forward to a long term relationship with
Vision College and am already talking to another student
there to help more.

Call to lower speeds
•From page 1
Mr Wootton has seen
vehicles drive along Matlock
St, where the speed limit
is 50km/h, at 70km/h. He
said the street is narrow and
this is putting the lives of
pedestrians at risk, including
Linwood College students,
elderly people and mothers
with young children travelling
to kindergartens in the
area.
“It’s a very, very dangerous
situation on that corner,” said
Mr Wootton.
However, a city council
spokesperson said it has only
received two complaints
about cars speeding along
Matlock St in the last year
and there have been no
crashes reported in this time
period.
Mr Wootton has a list of
solutions he thinks would
make the stop signs at the
end of Matlock St safer
and he wants these to be
considered before someone is
injured or killed.
These solutions include
painting road markings
along the street which give
drivers better warning that
the stop signs are looming,
lowering the speed limit to
either 40km/h or 30km/h,
installing speed bumps or
speed cameras, or police
monitoring speeds in the
area more often.
Said a city council
spokesperson: “Traffic
calming measures such
as speed bumps could be
installed at the Matlock St/
Randolph St intersection,
but currently they would
not rank as a high priority
compared to locations with
higher crash rates. Lowering
the speed limit could be
considered in the future.”
CONCERNED: Lawry Wootton often sees cars running the stop signs
at the intersection of Matlock and Randolph Sts, Woolston.

Community boards cut back
on catering costs for meetings
• By Louis Day
THE MAJORITY of community
boards are cutting back on
catering costs following public
scrutiny last term.
The Coastal-Burwood Community
Board will go without
any catering this term following
“modest catering” last term.
Banks Peninsula is the only
board to increase its catering
budget.
It now takes the title of the
highest spending board with
an estimated $228 put aside for
catering per meeting, an increase
from the $216 allocated towards
catering in the previous term.
City council head of community
support, governance and
partnerships John Filsell said a
new supplier was being trialled
and options were being explored
to reduce costs.
“Meetings are at Lyttelton,
Little River and Akaroa; this
requires elected members and
others to travel some distance to
and from the meeting, extending
the overall time commitment. At
some venues and at some times,

Peninsula board members are
paid $9864 and the chair $19,729,
whereas city board members
are paid up to $24,580 and their
chairs up to $49,160.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton,
has cut back its catering budget
again after coming under fire
mid-way through last term. It has
reduced its budget from $78 to
about $68 a meeting, it previously
sat at $174.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
will not have any catering
after a decision was made last
term to remove it.
However, Mr Filsell said
Fendalton-Waimari-Harewood
and Coastal-Burwood members
would still have access to a kitchenette
facility where they could
make their own tea and coffee
which would have no impact on
the catering budget.
He said options were being
explored to reduce the Spreydon-
Cashmere catering budget of
$130 to around $90 a meeting.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
has shaved about $25 off its catering
budget by purchasing items
directly from the supermarket as
opposed to a catering supplier,
bringing the budget to an estimated
$75 a meeting.
Papanui-Innes will spend a
maximum of $50 a meeting following
a decision to reduce costs
last term.

Grilled Chilean Beef Kebabs
with Chimichurri Sauce and
Coriander Rice
Makes 8 kebabs
Ingredients
1kg beef – tenderloin, ribeye
or sirloin, cut into 4cm cubes
(or substitute 500g button
mushrooms)
2 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp lime juice, plus zest of one
lime
2 garlic cloves – finely minced
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
1 tsp cumin
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
Skewer additions: cherry
tomatoes, onion
Chimichurri Sauce
1 bunch coriander
½ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 jalapeno (use less, or more if
you like)
½ cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
Coriander Rice
2 cups water
1 cup rice, rinsed
pinch salt
¼ cup coriander- chopped
3 spring onions – chopped
1 lime
Garnish: lime wedges
Directions
Soak eight 25cm wooden skewers
in warm water.
Cut the beef into cubes and
place in a zip lock bag or in a
medium bowl.
Mix oil, lime juice and zest,
garlic, spices, salt and pepper in a
small bowl. Pour over the beef and
seal the bag, shaking and mixing
so all the beef is coated. Set aside.
Pre-heat a hotplate, BBQ or your
favourite skillet if it’s large enough.
In a medium pot, add water and
rice, bring to a boil. Cover, simmer
on low heat for 20min.
In the meantime, make the
chimichurri. Place all the ingredients
in a food processor, and
pulse repeatedly (10-15 times)
until the coriander and onion are
all minced well. It need not be
smooth, but more like the consistency
of pesto. Place in a small
bowl. Set aside.
Make the skewers alternating
beef, cherry tomato, onion slice,
then repeat until skewer is full.
3-4 pieces of beef on each skewer.
Grill the skewers over medium
high heat, rotating until meat
is nicely charred and cooked to
desired done-ness.
Place rice in a bowl, squeeze
with lime, and scatter the
coriander and green onions over
the top. Serve immediately.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
PEGASUS POST
Joint 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 of their joints.
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. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
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.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(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 joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
balance. They teach a movement sequence
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
that stretches the joint 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,
HIP PAIN
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated
than surgery. After only one treatment you
should know that it will work for you. Call

REAL ESTATE
Heavenly hideaway!
36a Heberden Avenue, Sumner
Auction: Thursday, 13 February 2020 (Unless Sold Prior)
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage
2 off-street carparks | Listing Number SM0300
Tucked away and private from the
road, this fabulous character home will
both delight and surprise.
Beautifully presented and renovated
the home is ready and waiting for a lucky
new owner.
Gorgeous freshly polished timber
floors throughout the living and dining
add a sense of warmth and with all day
sun the home is instantly inviting.
Both living spaces open to private
sheltered decks capturing both the
morning and late sun and providing an
idyllic spot for entertaining or simply
relaxing with a good book.
While modernised throughout, the
home retains the charm of the 1950’s era
with the wooden windows all double
glazed and there is current log burner
and floor mounted heat pump.
Outside is a gardener’s dream, easy
care but with established fruit and citrus
trees and raised vegetable plots and a
good sized garden shed. There is also
the added bonus of two garages with
automatic garage doors, one complete
with a new bathroom and separate
entrance. Great off street parking
provided through an automatic gate.
Properties of this quality are highly
sought in Sumner and this home enjoys
the enviable late sun, dual entry and
privacy, making it the ideal spot to call
home.
My motivated owners have loved their
many years here but a new adventure
awaits, so the home will be sold. Act
now!
Open Homes Wednesday, Saturday
and Sunday 11:00am - 11:45am.
