COLOURFUL creatures, 

multi-cultural children and 

four of the major milestones 

in the life of Jesus Christ have 

been painted onto a mural to 

brighten up Church Corner. 

The eye-catching mural, 

located outside St Peter’s 

Anglican Preschool, was 

finished by medical laboratory 

science student Susannah 

Blummont and artist Ivey 

Vinson last week. 

Miss Blummont, who grew 

up in Redwood, designed a 

large proportion of the 25m by 

1.9m mural. 

She collaborated with Miss 

Vinson who finished the last 

section of the artwork. 

The mural, which has been 

in the making since early 

December, aims to express 

unity. 

“We wanted an iconic mural 

that would stand out to people. 

Whatever walk of life they 

were in they could relate,” Miss 

Blummont said.

Heavy 

vehicles 

at night 

disturb 

war vet 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

EVERY NIGHT before bed Dave 

Thompson and his wife Catherine 

take magnesium to help them to 

sleep. 

The 76-year-old “hardly sleeps 

at night” due to the “crash, banging 

sound” of vehicles travelling 

past his home on Waterloo Rd. 

The frequent stream of trucks 

has been an ongoing issue since 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake 

– but has increased in the last two 

years. 

Mr Thompson, who formerly 

served in the New Zealand Army 

for 25 years – including in 

Vietnam for one year as a section 

commander, said the heavy 

vehicles have largely impacted his 

life and he has not slept properly 

since the earthquakes. 

“These trucks remind me of the 

war with the crashing and banging 

. . . it is like a flashback.” 

Mr Thompson, who served 

on the front line, said the noise 

of fireworks also increases the 

frequency of flashbacks.

Council supports plan 

to increase landfill levies 

THE CITY Council is supporting 

a move by the Government 

to increase the levy rates for 

landfills. 

It has made a submission on 

the Ministry for the Environment’s 

Reducing Waste: A More 

Effective Landfill Levy consultation 

document, saying it wants 

the Ministry to consider going 

further because it is worried 

about the increasing levels of 

waste going to landfill. 

The Ministry announced late 

last year that it is proposing to 

increase the levy on landfills that LANDFILL: Dumping waste at the Styx Mill Eco Drop could cost more if a Government plan to 

take household waste. Currently increase levies goes ahead.

In Brief 

INTERSECTION DECISION 

A plan to change the Ilam/ 

Middleton/Riccarton Rd 

intersection from a dangerous 

junction to a T-intersection 

to reduce crashes could be 

approved today. City council 

staff will present a report to the 

board requesting it endorses its 

preferred design of restricting 

the use of Middleton Rd at the 

intersection by changing access/ 

egress to left in, left out, and 

changing Ilam Rd and Middleton 

Rd to a ‘T’ intersection. 

POOL REOPENED 

Jellie Park Recreation and 

Sport Centre’s recreation pool 

reopened on Saturday after the 

tank tiles were repaired. Said 

a Christchurch City Council 

spokeswoman: “The Jellie Park 

recreation pool was repaired 

and reopened to the public on 

Saturday, 25 January.” A city 

council memo last week said the 

pool tank was relined due to a 

significant number of tiles failing 

and customers and staff receiving 

cuts to their feet. 

FREE FRUIT ON NEW MAP 

The city council has released a 

new online map revealing where 

people can find free fruit and 

nuts across the city. In total, 

there are 122,741 council-owned 

trees in Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula. Of these, 6846 are fruit 

or nut-producing trees.

Styx Mill serial 

flasher warned 

• By Sophie Cornish 

MEMBERS OF the public and 

police have combined to find a man 

exposing himself at the Styx Mill 

Reserve. 

The 19-year-old was caught by a 

police dog patrol in the reserve on 

January 26. 

It followed more than 10 reported 

sightings of the man, often doing 

an indecent act, over three weeks, 

Christchurch North Community 

Patrol chairman Sam Hall said. 

A police spokeswoman said the 

man was arrested and given a precharge 

warning. 

The warning is an alternative to 

prosecution for offenders who have 

committed offences with a maximum 

penalty of no more than six 

months imprisonment. 

Police use discretion to not 

prosecute, even though there is sufficient 

evidence to do so. 

“It’s quite ironic that the dogs 

found him in the dog park,” Mr 

Hall said. 

A woman, who didn’t wish to be 

named, said her teenage daughter 

and another teenage family member 

were out walking on a track off 

Hussey Rd, when the man, with his 

pants down, began following them. 

“When they looked around he kept 

hiding behind bushes,” she said. 

Mr Hall said his patrol group, 

which has about 30 volunteers, had 

been monitoring the area during its 

daytime and evening patrols. 

Funding package ‘a slap in the face’ 

• By Louis Day 

CITY COUNCILLORS say 

Canterbury has received a 

“slap in the face” over the 

Government’s $12 billion 

nationwide infrastructure 

package. 

The North 

Island will 

receive the 

majority of 

the funding, 

with $3.48 

billion spent 

Sam 

MacDonald 

in Auckland, 

$991 million in 

Waikato and 

the Bay of Plenty, $692 million 

in Northland and $1.35 billion 

on Wellington. 

Canterbury will get $159 

million and Queenstown, the 

only other South Island area 

to receive any funding, will get 

$90 million. The $249 million 

allocated towards the South 

Island is less than the $692 

million put aside for a single 

road in Northland, a 22km fourlane 

corridor from Marsden 

Point to Whangarei. 

City councillor Sam 

MacDonald described this as a 

“slap in the face.” 

“I think Christchurch and 

Canterbury, in general, deserves 

better, the reality is we are still 

recovering from the earthquakes,” 

he said. 

City councillor Aaron Keown 

also described it as a slap in the 

face. 

The package for Canterbury 

includes upgrades to more than 

100 schools across the region, six 

transport and roading related 

projects, and building upgrades 

to Hillmorton Hospital’s mental 

health unit. 

Christchurch Central Labour 

MP Duncan Webb thought 

UPGRADE: 

Part of the 

$159 million 

allocated to 

Canterbury’s 

infrastructure 

will go towards 

building 

improvements 

to Hillmorton 

Hospital’s 

mental health 

unit. 

it was “churlish” to label the 

infrastructure injection as a slap 

in the face. 

“To say that is a bit of a slap in 

the face is unfair, because one 

thing that needed to happen 

was for Canterbury, both at a 

regional and city level, to come 

to Government with proposals 

that work,” he said. 

City councillor Sara Templeton 

contested this. 

“The New Zealand Transport 


Agency are funding our business 

cases for transport projects but 

they shelved it, that is not on us 

[city council],” she said. 

City councillor and chairman 

of the urban development and 

transport committee Mike Davidson 

labelled the funding as a 

“knee-jerk reaction.” 

“This seems to be a knee-jerk 

reaction to people who moan 

and complain. We have been 

trying to get this boost for a while 

and because we don’t moan and 

complain we get left behind,” he 

said. 

Minister for Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

and Labour MP Megan Woods 

said the cash injection into 

the region would help prepare 

Canterbury for the future. 

“Canterbury is of course in 

a unique position because our 

earthquake recovery necessitated 

major infrastructure investments 

in our roads, hospitals 

and schools. For example over 

the last decade, more than $1.4 

billion has already been spent 

on Christchurch motorways 

projects. Today’s announcement 

adds to the investments already 

made,” she said. 

The funding announcement 

was made by Prime Minister 

Jacinda Ardern and Minister 

of Finance Grant Robertson on 

Wednesday.

BIBLICAL: A colourful mural outside St Peter’s Anglican 

Preschool was finished this week. 

Multiculturalism showcased 

• From page 1 

She said the goal was to make 

passers-by’s day and hoped they 

would be able to find something 

inspirational and peaceful in the 

mural they could relate to. 

The mural is broken up into 

several sections. The first part 

features four key scenes from the 

life of Jesus – the nativity scene, 

Jesus walking on water, his death 

and resurrection. 

The next stage of mural was 

inspired by Noah’s Ark with both 

native animals including kiwis, 

takahes and animals significant 

to other cultures such as giraffes, 

elephants, a peacock and a panda 

in a kowhai tree in the painting. 

Because the preschool is multilingual 

– teaching English, Te 

Reo Maori and Chinese, the artwork 

showcases children of many 

multicultural backgrounds. 

Studying a four-year degree in 

medical laboratory science at the 

Auckland University of Technology, 

Miss Blummont is currently 

boarding with a family which 

runs the Manukau Christian 

Charitable Trust. 

The trust establishes Christian 

pre-schools and collaborated with 

the St Peter’s Anglican Church 

to open the St Peters Anglican 

Preschool in August. 

While she was home for the 

summer holidays, Miss Blummont, 

who enjoys art as a hobby, 

was asked if she wanted to do the 

project before Miss Vinson was 

brought in to help out. 

While Miss Blummont wasn’t 

quite sure what she had got herself 

into, she “gave it a whirl” and 

was pleased with the end results. 

“It is not something I ever 

dreamed I would be doing. The 

biggest painting I have ever done 

in my life was A1.” 

Petition calls for action over trucks 

• From page 1 

On top of putting up with the 

constant noise of the trucks, he 

has been battling prostate cancer 

for the past four years. 

Mr Thompson cannot even 

open his windows as a result of 

the dust caused by the heavy 

trucks and need to get their house 

cleaned every three months with 

a chemical wash. 

But he and his wife are not the 

only residents suffering. 

It is why Mr Thompson has 

spearheaded a petition signed by 

more than 66 residents calling 

for action over the heavy vehicles 

which use the road 24/7. 

The petition will be presented 

to the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board at its 

meeting on February 18. 

The opening of the Waterloo 

Business Park and trucking firms 

in the area have intensified the 

issue over the past two years. 

The main issue is the heavy 

vehicles that are short-cutting 

through Waterloo Rd to avoid 

having to use Main South Rd and 

Carmen Rd, Mr Thompson said. 

Data collected by residents in 

April showed heavy vehicles were 

often using Waterloo Rd every 

five to 10 minutes. 

Waterloo Rd between 

Racecourse Rd and Pound Rd 

and between Barters Rd and 

Kirk Rd is a collector road while 

between Pound Rd and Barters 

Rd is a minor arterial. 

“All types of vehicles including 

large trucks are permitted to 

use collector roads. Only overdimension 

vehicles are subject 

to special permits,” a council 

spokesman said. 

But Waterloo Rd resident Russell 

Wills said vehicles over 44 tonnes 

are travelling up the road and that 

is what residents want to stop. 

He agreed the biggest impact 

the trucks were having on 

residents was lack of sleep and 

quality of life. 

The petition also calls for a 

pedestrian crossing to be put on 

Waterloo Rd and raises concerns 

over Hornby Primary School, 

Barnardos Early Learning and 

Hornby High School being located 

on the road. 

DISTURBED: Waterloo 

Rd resident Dave 

Thompson says heavy 

vehicles passing hs 

home are affecting his 

quality of life. 

Other suggestions residents 

made was for traffic lights to be 

installed on the intersection of 

Waterloo and Gilberthorpes Rd. 

A city council spokesman said 

a new signalled crossing will be 

provided near Hei Hei Rd later 

this year. 

Greater Hornby Residents’ 

Association chairman Marc Duff 

said it will work to support the 

residents to progress their safety 

concerns. 

Mr Duff said with the new 

Hornby Library, South West 

Centre and Pool opening, 

Hornby Primary increasing its 

roll and the South Express 

Major Cycle Route under way 

it would be a good opportunity 

to get everything addressed at 

the same time.

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. 

Free refills 

to combat 

plastic waste 

GRAHAM CONDON Recreation 

& Sport Centre is amongst 

the Canterbury businesses aiming 

to cut down plastic pollution 

by providing free water bottle 

refills. 

The centre, along with Jellie 

Park , Taiora QEII and Pioneer 

Recreation & Sport Centre has 

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.

Development and Design 

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.

Online map 

for free fruit 

A NEW online food map 

reveals where people can find free 

fruit and nuts growing in public 

spaces in the north-west and 

wider city. 

City council’s smart city 

manager Michael Healy said 

there is an abundance of fruit and 

nut trees growing on public land 

across the city. 

“In total, there are 122,741 

city council-owned trees 

in Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula. Of these, 6846 are fruit 

or nut-producing trees. 

“Our new ‘fruit trees’ feature 

on SmartView presents a map 

that shows urban food foragers 

the location of fruit and nut trees 

on offer in Christchurch’s public 

spaces,” Mr Healy said. 

More than 52 types of trees 

feature on the map, with the most 

common being plum, European 

beech, crab apple, Irish strawberry 

tree, pear, walnut, honey locust 

and sweet chestnut. 

Within days of going live, 

the online map has attracted 

thousands of views. 

Plans are already under way 

to add more details about the 

trees such as harvest times, an 

image of trees and useful links 

to help people identify and enjoy 

this free food growing in the 

garden city. 

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.

Robertson said the money from

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.”

Canty player selected in 

national softball squad 

• By Jacob Page 

SOFTBALLER Jacob 

Davidson is the lone 

Canterbury face named in 

the Junior Black Sox squad 

for next month’s under-18 

World Cup in Palmerston 

North. 

The 16-year-old Riccarton 

High School student, 

who plays baseball for 

Selwyn as a pitcher said 

he was surprised by the 

call-up. 

“There’s been a lot of 

work that has gone in 

behind the scenes so to 

make it in this team for 

the first time is great.” 

The event begins on 

February 22, with the Junior 

Black Sox opening the 

tournament against Japan, 

the silver medallist at the 

last World Cup. 

The final will be played 

on March 1. 

Jacob is also a national 

representative in baseball 

as a pitcher, he says juggling 

both sports has 

mostly a positive impact 

on his play. 

“When I’m catching (in 

softball) I’m still working 

with the pitchers on calling 

a game and working 

Jacob Davidson 

out what pitches to throw, 

just like I would be if I was 

pitching in baseball. 

“It does mean I don’t get 

many days off.” 

Jacob focuses on softball 

on Monday, Wednesday 

and Saturday and switches 

to baseball for his Selwyn 

club on a Thursday and 

Sunday. 

Twelve teams from 

around the world will 

SPORT 

compete in the week-long 

World Cup event. 

Fellow Cantabrians 

Hunter Simpson and 

Kotiti Patea will be nontravelling 

reserves. 

Coach Thomas Makea 

said he was excited by the 

talent on show. 

“We have set goals and 

observed these athletes 

over the past 12 months, 

which culminated at the 

just-completed under-18 

nationals. 

“They displayed their 

skills, but also a lot of 

enthusiasm, passion and 

intensity to their games, 

which is something that 

the management team was 

pleased to see. 

“We have selected a 

well-balanced squad with 

a lot of these players able 

to play multiple positions 

which helps in the makeup 

of the defence. The 

team will be working hard 

over the next few weeks so 

they are well prepared to 

take on the world.”

Pithie dominates 

national track champs 

SPORT 


Fin the fastest 


CYCLIST LAURENCE Pithie 

continues to win medals on the 

track and 

awards off it. 

The 17-yearold 

Christchurch 

Boys’ 

High School 

student won 

seven national 

titles at the 

age-group 

championships 

Laurence Pithie 

in Cambridge 

last week and was named Cycling 

New Zealand’s junior track rider 

of the year. 

Pithie won gold in the elite 

25km madison event with 

Thomas Sexton. 

The talented teen combined 

with fellow-Cantabrian Ryan 

MacLeod, Joshua Scott and Hugo 

Jones to win the elite 4000m 

team pursuit. 

He won the under-19 3000m 

individual pursuit by more than 

3sec from MacLeod. 

Pithie was victorious in the 

under-19 20km points race where 

he finished on 29 points, eight 

points clear of Waikato-Bay of 

Plenty’s Zahk Patterson. 

The dominance continued in 

the under-19 20km omnium. 

He scored 153 points which

FIN CURTIS just loves to run 

fast. 

The 10-year-old who lives in 

Merivale and who started at Cathedral 

Grammar last week, won 

six gold medals at the South Island 

Colgate Games at Wigram’s 

Nga Puna Wai, a fortnight ago. 

Fin, who represents Christchurch 

Avon Athletic Club, won 

gold in the 10th grade 100m, 

200m 400m, long jump, 4x100m 

relay and medley relay. 

“I just wanted to have fun and 

do as best as I could,” Finn said. 

“I was happy that I ran fast and 

did my best.” 

Fin was encouraged by family 

friends to try the Christchurch 

Avon club when he was sixyears-old 

and now he works on 

his sprinting twice a week for 90 

minutes at a time. 

His father, Guy Curtis said Fin 

was always fast on his feet from 

the moment he could walk so 

they thought athletics would be a 

good fit. 

“He was always fast as a wee 

nipper so we thought we’d see

how he goes,” he said. 

Fin plays rugby as a wing or 

fullback for the Christchurch 

rugby club and cricket as an 

allrounder for Burnside. 

He said one day he would like 

to earn a track scholarship to an 

American college.

Tasty Bites 


Kebabs to make your mouth water 

Grilled Chilean Beef Kebabs 

with Chimichurri Sauce and 

Coriander Rice is an easy, 

flavourful any-day meal. 

Substitute button mushrooms 

for the beef for a vege 

alternative. If going low-carb, 

use cauliflower rice and if 

coriander isn’t your thing then 

serve with your favourite 

sauce and rice side-dish 

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 


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 

them before 15 February and save $50.00 

on that treatment. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door 

and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

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.
