Hornby residents back<br />
fight over waste plant<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A GROUP of Hornby residents<br />
have stood beside Prebbleton to<br />
fight against a waste plant from<br />
going in their backyard – taking<br />
their protest to the city council<br />
last week.<br />
Protestors attended a city<br />
council meeting on Thursday –<br />
with many dressed in protective<br />
suits and masks.<br />
In a fiery deputation, Greater<br />
Hornby Residents’ Association<br />
treasurer Ross Houliston called the<br />
consultation process over Waste<br />
Management Ltd’s application to<br />
operate a waste stabilisation and<br />
treatment facility a “dictatorship.”<br />
It followed a deputation from<br />
Prebbleton resident Diane White<br />
on how the plant could impact the<br />
area.<br />
Waste Management has applied<br />
to expand its current site and operate<br />
the toxic waste treatment plant<br />
at 305 Marshs Rd in South Hornby.<br />
In its resource consent application,<br />
it said the plant will treat and<br />
manage items, such as pesticides,<br />
acid, used tyres and other types of<br />
rubbish. • Turn to page 4<br />

for a<br />
good cause<br />
THE 46TH running of the Les<br />
Mills City2Surf will be held on<br />
Sunday and this year’s event<br />
looks set to be one of the biggest<br />
in recent times.<br />
Runners, joggers and walkers<br />
of all fitness levels will take on<br />
either the 14km or 6km options,<br />
both finishing at Ferrymead<br />
Playing Fields.<br />
Event organiser Jon Holmes<br />
says entries are up on last year’s<br />
event which attracted close to<br />
8000 participants.<br />
“It doesn’t matter if you<br />
haven’t trained. Either distance<br />
can be walked. It’s just about<br />
getting out on a Sunday morning,<br />
getting a breath of fresh<br />
air and doing something that<br />
gets the heart pumping,” said<br />
Holmes.<br />
The 14km event starts at 9am<br />
at Pioneer Stadium, and the<br />
6km event starts at 10am at<br />
Hansens Park, all culminating<br />
for a massive finish at Ferrymead<br />
where there will be<br />
plenty of entertainment and<br />
prizes on offer.<br />
Participants will also have free<br />
entry into Ferrymead Historic<br />
Park.<br />
“We’re going fizzy-free again<br />
this year. We’ve also changed<br />
from a free Powerade to a<br />
free Pump at the finish line.<br />
That’s another step in the right<br />
direction for health,” said<br />
Holmes.<br />
This year’s partner charity is<br />
the Prostate Cancer Foundation<br />
of New Zealand. If you wish to<br />

It’s been a really good<br />

BOARD PRIORITIES<br />
The city council has provided<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> with the number of<br />
submissions received during a public<br />
consultation on priorities set out<br />
by community boards. Thirty-two<br />
people responded a have your say<br />
on the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board’s priorities.<br />
SUFFRAGETTE MEMORIAL<br />
Clearer signage will not be provided<br />
to recognise the Signage<br />
for Suffragette memorial located<br />
at Denton Park near the Hornby<br />
Cricket Club entranceway. The<br />
decision follows a request from<br />
the Greater Hornby Residents’<br />
Association for better signage. But<br />
city council staff have advised it is<br />
not deemed significant enough for<br />
signage to be installed. However,<br />
it is considering for the site to be<br />
added as a link on the city council’s<br />
women’s suffrage website.<br />
AVONHEAD PARK CONCERNS<br />
Concerns have been raised at<br />
the latest Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
meeting regarding the amount of<br />
rubbish and dog poo left behind<br />
at Avonhead Park after sports<br />
activities. A fenced dog park was<br />
recommended to address the<br />
dog poo issue. The community<br />
board will be provided with an<br />
investigation and possible solutions<br />

A Kidney Toxicity Survivor<br />
Over the next 2 months, I thought id write<br />
about two cases that required much input<br />
and care from our entire team of experts. We<br />
treat hundreds of sick patients weekly and<br />
many of them spend weeks in our hospital<br />
being nursed back to full health.<br />
We have so many<br />
special long term<br />
patients that we all<br />
connect with on<br />
different levels but I<br />
cant write them all up<br />
here. We don’t have<br />
favourites because<br />
we love and want to<br />
treat all the animals<br />
that walk through our<br />
doors. I chose these<br />
two patients as they<br />
highlight diseases we commonly see and<br />
treat here and they also show incredible<br />
owner commitment and positivity towards<br />
the whole process. It has to be a team<br />
approach and great communication is key.<br />
I know we have the right team of people,<br />
hospital setup and equipment to do our best<br />
job possible but clients need to be onboard<br />
for, at times, a long, complicated, emotional<br />
journey. You can absolutely guarantee<br />
though we will always do our BEST for your<br />
pet.<br />
TORIN is a young Birman who presented<br />
suddenly unwell 3 months ago - lethargic,<br />
losing weight, vomiting and just not himself.<br />
After a series of testing we deemed Torin<br />
was suffering from<br />
Acute Kidney Failure<br />
due to a suspected<br />
toxicity (possibly<br />
Lilies). His creatinine<br />
kidney enzyme level<br />
was through the roof<br />
, he was dehydrated<br />
and we suspected<br />
a bacterial UTI. He<br />
was immediately<br />
admitted for intensive<br />
care treatment with<br />
intravenous fluids<br />
and supportive care<br />
medications. He spent 2 weeks as a hospital<br />
inpatient receiving Intravenous fluids, food<br />
and medications were fed to him through<br />
a feeding tube in his neck and every day<br />
his devoted owners visited and spent time<br />
cuddling, grooming him and nursing him<br />
back to good health. Once home he was<br />
continually checked many times a week to<br />
make sure he wasn’t deteriorating. Torin<br />
was an incredibly tolerant and an easy to<br />
handle patient which was lucky as he was<br />
jabbed with needles constantly, had oral<br />

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz<br />
medications daily and had every test possible<br />
including radiographs and ultrasounds.<br />
In the end, Torin survived his kidney<br />
failure attack. When we was very unwell<br />
his creatinine reading was greater than<br />
1202umol/L - now<br />
it is normal at<br />
187umol/L. Many<br />
patients wouldn’t<br />
recover from this.<br />
He had incredibly<br />
special owners who<br />
completely trusted<br />
and listened to our<br />
recommendations<br />
and supported us<br />
in his recovery by<br />
visiting often, which was what Torin needed.<br />
Kim encouraged him to eat one bikkie at a<br />
time from her phone and he got to wander<br />
around a room not being caged all day.<br />
Our hospital nursing team was absolutely<br />
A1 fantastic at catering for all his needs,<br />
respecting him, treating him gently and<br />
spending lots of time giving him cuddles and<br />
grooms. We were honest with Torin’s owners<br />
about his prognosis and the time required<br />
for him to start showing improvement. In<br />
this case I believe the feeding tube was the<br />
game changer as we could deliver all his<br />
medications and nutritional requirements<br />
without going near his<br />
mouth and he could be<br />
successfully managed at<br />
home, with the people he<br />
loved and trusted.<br />
We all get super excited<br />
when we get to catch<br />
up with Torin. He’s like a<br />
member of the family and<br />
we all feel proud that we<br />
played a part in getting<br />
him home. Without fail he<br />
urinates in my room on<br />
arrival- not sure what this means exactly, but<br />
then I get cuddles so I’m taking that as a win.<br />
If anyone has more questions or needs<br />
advice regarding renal disease, please call<br />
McMaster & Heap and ask to speak to me. We<br />
have had an OPEN day for fabulous separate<br />
cat ICU space but if anyone wants to have<br />
a wee peak at how we care for your kitties,<br />
just ask<br />

Said Mr Houliston: “You<br />
will notice I am dressed in<br />
black, this is normal when<br />
people are in mourning. The<br />
Waipuna area is in mourning<br />
because city council staff<br />
have shown a total lack of respect<br />
for this area by issuing<br />
consents to put this in here.<br />
“No public consultation<br />
was called and residents in<br />
our area weren’t consulted<br />
denying them their democratic<br />
right to speak out on<br />
whether locals wanted this<br />
or not,” he said.<br />
Resource consent was<br />
granted for the proposed<br />
plant by the city council in<br />
December 2018.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
also granted three consents<br />
for its construction and<br />
discharge of stormwater in<br />
<strong>March</strong> 2019.<br />
The consent application<br />
currently with ECan is only<br />
for activities resulting in<br />
discharge to air.<br />
It ran a limited notified<br />
consent process, which<br />
meant only people within<br />
500m of the proposed facility<br />
had a chance to have<br />
their say.<br />

‘Tracking down birth parents, the right thing to do’<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ANDREI MOORE could have<br />
been one of tens of thousands<br />
of babies to grow up in an<br />
orphanage in Romania.<br />
It is why the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
deputy chairman is determined<br />
to give back to the Halswell community<br />
– his home for the last 29<br />
years.<br />
Born in Târgoviste, Romania,<br />
in 1991, it was a time when more<br />
than 10,000 children were abandoned<br />
in orphanages – leaving<br />
them subject to neglect, physical<br />
and sexual abuse and drug use to<br />
control behaviour.<br />
The overpopulation of children<br />
was a result of communist<br />
Romanian president Nicolae<br />
Ceausescu banning contraception<br />
and abortion in 1966 unless<br />
the mother was more than<br />
40-years-old or already had four<br />
children in care.<br />
By 1977, people were taxed<br />
more for being childless.<br />
Mr Moore’s birth parents<br />
Gabriel and Lavinia Toader could<br />
not afford to raise him and he was<br />
due to go to an orphanage.<br />
“It is a totally bizarre scenario<br />
. . . one of my biological brothers<br />
was not so lucky, he grew up in<br />
an orphanage,” he said.<br />
But at two weeks old, the dull<br />
outlook for Mr Moore’s life<br />
drastically changed when he was<br />
“intercepted” from the orphanage<br />
and adopted by Karen and<br />
Richard Moore.<br />
Mr Moore’s father said his<br />
parents “had nothing” and<br />
when they found Andrei he was<br />
“horribly underweight” and “ill”<br />
already at two weeks old.<br />
“I am really lucky to grow<br />
up in a place such as Halswell<br />
instead of remaining in an orphanage.<br />
To be able to represent<br />
a community that has given so<br />
much means a huge amount,”<br />
Mr Moore said.<br />
Although he appreciates more<br />
than most growing up in a quiet,<br />
safe area of New Zealand, he<br />
knew tracking down his birth<br />
parents was the right thing to do.<br />
“It felt like something that<br />
needed to be done eventually,<br />
while they are still alive and<br />
while I am still alive. And the<br />
other reason is my dad has been<br />
nagging me for years.”<br />
In 20<strong>17</strong> Mr Moore was chosen<br />
out of hundreds of applications,<br />
to star on ThreeNow’s Lost and<br />
Found – a documentary series<br />
FAMILY:<br />
Andrei Moore<br />
(right) with<br />
his adopted<br />
father Richard<br />
Moore (left),<br />
his birth<br />
father Gabriel<br />
Toader and<br />
his adopted<br />
mother Karen<br />
Moore in<br />
Romania.<br />
which sets about reuniting families,<br />
uncovering cultural identity<br />
and discovering lost family heritage.<br />
“I didn’t do it to introduce two<br />
more parents into my life. It was<br />
more to meet and thank them<br />
and know that was done,” Mr<br />
Moore said.<br />
It was not easy tracking down<br />
his parents but through the television<br />
show Mr Moore not only<br />
met his parents but his sister and<br />
brother.<br />
“I found out I have three sisters<br />
I never knew I had, I never knew<br />
I was an uncle,” Mr Moore said.<br />
All up, Mr Moore has six<br />
brothers and three sisters from<br />
different parents.<br />
While having his personal life<br />
laid out on a national television<br />
show may not have been the<br />
“ideal” way to find his long-lost<br />
parents, Mr Moore knew it may<br />
be the only way.<br />
“When trying to find birth<br />
parents on the other side of the<br />
world that you haven’t been in<br />
contact with over 20 years – you<br />
are quite limited on where to<br />
start and where to go.<br />
Mr Moore hopes others<br />
adopted as children may be<br />
inspired to go on a similar<br />
journey as him and find their<br />
long-lost family.<br />
Since the show re-aired this<br />
month, Mr Moore said he has received<br />
dozens of messages from<br />
people encouraged to go out and<br />
do the same thing.<br />
While he has stayed in touch<br />
with his siblings, he did not have<br />
the same desire to keep in touch<br />
with his parents.<br />
Mr Moore will take over as<br />
community board chairman<br />
from November.<br />

Clothes strangely<br />
appearing<br />
in backyard<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
IF YOU are missing the odd sock,<br />
T-shirt or scrunchie – the culprit<br />
could be a sneaky cat on the prowl<br />
in South Hornby.<br />
For the last three months,<br />
mostly children’s clothing has<br />
been mysteriously appearing<br />
in Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board member Mark<br />
Peter’s backyard.<br />
The most recent items to appear<br />
in his backyard in Glenora Pl was<br />
a scrunchie and sock last week.<br />
The items are most likely<br />
coming from the Blankney St,<br />
Witham St and Glenora Pl area,<br />
Mr Peters said.<br />
Although he doesn’t have any<br />
solid proof, he suspects the puzzling<br />
overnight appearances of<br />
odd clothing on his property is a<br />
cat, due to his yard being a “cat<br />
thoroughfare.”<br />
Mr Peters said he has only one<br />
elderly cat and consistently has<br />
about four to five cats wandering<br />
through his yard from the neighbour’s<br />
property.<br />
He is thinking of installing a<br />
night camera to get solid proof.<br />
If you have lost a clothing<br />
item at in the South Hornby<br />
area, check the Greater Hornby<br />

Decision on multi-storey house review soon<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A DECISION is likely to be<br />
made this week on whether<br />
a review is needed over the<br />
construction of a large multistorey<br />
house on a residential<br />
street in Riccarton.<br />
Commissioner David<br />
Mountfort is expected to make<br />
a decision early next week over<br />
whether a section 128 review is<br />
required of a new house constructed<br />
on 36 Rata St.<br />
The potential review is to consider<br />
whether there are any inaccuracies<br />
in the original resource<br />
consent lodged in 2016 for the<br />
house to be built before a subsequent<br />
application was given the<br />
green-light to go-ahead by the<br />
city council in 2018.<br />
City council’s head of resource<br />
consents John Higgins said Mr<br />
Mountfort is considering a city<br />
council officer report alongside<br />
additional information received<br />
from the consent holder, three<br />
adjacent neighbours and the city<br />
council.<br />
He said the commissioner<br />
should be in a position to make<br />
a decision on whether a section<br />
128 review is required by early<br />
next week.<br />
The city council officer report<br />
prepared by resource consent<br />
principal adviser Hermione<br />
Blair states she is of the opinion<br />
that potential inaccuracies have<br />

been identified in the original<br />
resource consent and a section<br />
128 review can be invoked.<br />
In Ms Blair’s opinion the<br />
potential errors of most significance<br />
are the depiction of the<br />
northern recession plane which<br />
if drawn correctly results in<br />
breaching the recession plane<br />
and the 2016 dwelling is shown<br />
incorrectly on a sun study plan.<br />
Information supplied to Mr<br />
Mountfort following the city<br />
council’s section 128 recommendation<br />
report showed a city<br />
council architect found while<br />
completing shading diagrams<br />
for the house in 2018, the 2016<br />
plans incorrectly showed the<br />
floor level of the house in relation<br />
to ground level.<br />
This means the plans showed<br />
the house about 350mm lower<br />
on the elevations than it actually<br />
has been built.<br />
This is why the 2016 house<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
prepared for the 2018 application<br />
shows the house sitting higher<br />
with a larger recession plane<br />
breach than approved.<br />
Mr Higgins said if a review is<br />
necessary, Mr Mountfort will<br />
either decide if any issues can be<br />
addressed through the conditions<br />
of the consent or if it needs<br />
to be cancelled.<br />
“In the latter case (the consent<br />
is cancelled), a new resource<br />
consent would be required,” he<br />
said.<br />
Last year, city council received<br />
complaints from four nearby<br />
properties along with concerns<br />
raised from the Riccarton<br />
Bush-Kilmarnock Residents’<br />
Association and the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board.<br />
The large house is being constructed<br />
for carpet retailer and<br />
interior design service Nextdore<br />
director Michael Dore.<br />
Last year, the city council<br />
confirmed the house breached<br />
multiple variations for a<br />
residential zone – including<br />
it did not meet the required<br />
finished floor level and breached<br />
recession planes.<br />
But it also argued Mr Dore is<br />
able to use the previous on-site<br />
townhouse coverage and consent<br />
as a baseline.<br />
Mr Dore did not wish to<br />
comment.<br />

Street work ‘waste of money’<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
IN THE 25 years Graham Tait<br />
has lived in Ilam, he has never<br />
had a problem walking on his<br />
street.<br />
Having “hardly a crack in it”,<br />
the 83-year-old can take his dog<br />
for daily walks along Ryeland<br />
Ave with ease.<br />
But the city council disagrees<br />
and has decided to tear up and<br />
completely renew his street.<br />
Work began recently to<br />
replace the existing footpath,<br />
removing the top surface, level<br />
the formation below and relay a<br />
new top surface.<br />
In reply, Mr Tait has complained<br />
to the city council<br />
calling the $60,000 project a<br />
“complete waste of money”<br />
and would be better off spent<br />
elsewhere.<br />
He said residents were only<br />
notified the Friday before the<br />
work began.<br />
Mr Tait said the money would<br />
be better off spent at Tuirau<br />
Place which has big tree roots in<br />
the ground or the intersection<br />
of Ilam and Maidstone Rd.<br />
But city council’s city streets<br />
maintenance manager Mark<br />
Pinner saying as per its own<br />
assessment, the road clearly has<br />
cracks.<br />
UNHAPPY: Ryeland Ave resident Graham Tait said the city council’s $60,000 project to renew<br />
his street is a “complete waste of money.”<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN <br />
But Mr Tait said: “I am 83 I<br />
can’t fall over in the street, it is<br />
ridiculous,” he said.<br />
The footpaths were last replaced<br />
23 years ago.<br />
Mr Tait said he was unlikely<br />
to get much sympathy from his<br />
neighbours or his wife.<br />
“My wife said stop<br />
complaining, it will be nice to<br />
have a nice street to walk on,”<br />
Mr Tait said.<br />
Mr Pinner said the city<br />
council aims to be proactive<br />
in maintaining roads to avoid<br />
future deterioration.<br />
But he said the city council<br />
can always take on feedback<br />
and work to improve its<br />
determination of sites to best<br />
serve the public as a whole.<br />
Residents anxious<br />
over looming<br />
quarry decision<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
TEMPLETON AND Weedons<br />
residents anxiously waiting to hear<br />
if a quarry in their area will go<br />
ahead can expect to hear a decision<br />
over the next month.<br />
The hearing for Fulton Hogan’s<br />
proposal to open a quarry between<br />
Dawsons, Jones, Maddisons and<br />
Curraghs Rd closed on Wednesday.<br />
An Environment Canterbury<br />
spokeswoman said due to the<br />
large-scale proposal, complex lay and<br />
expert evidence, commissioners have<br />
doubled the time frame to make a<br />
decision to 30 working days.<br />
Under section 115 of the Resource<br />
Management Act, the independent<br />
hearings panel chaired by<br />
Rob van Voorthuysen, would have<br />
15 working days to make a decision.<br />
It will now be released on or<br />
before April 24.<br />
Mr van Voorthuysen said it has<br />
doubled the 15 working day period<br />
having considered the interests of<br />
Fulton Hogan and the community.<br />
Templeton Residents’ Association<br />
treasurer Jolene Eagar said at<br />
this stage residents are “along for<br />
the ride.”<br />
“We are really grateful to hear<br />
there is an end date in sight. It has<br />
taken so much longer than any of<br />
us anticipated,” she said.<br />

Supermarket transformed<br />
AFTER AN 18-month<br />
refurbishment, New World<br />
Fendalton has emerged<br />
transformed with the completion<br />
of the supermarket’s extensive<br />
revamp.<br />
The upgrade has seen a complete<br />
re-design of the building,<br />
with the supermarket’s size<br />
increasing by 500 sq m. The<br />
number of checkouts has boosted<br />
along with an expanded range of<br />
products on offer.<br />
Brothers James and Richard<br />
Turner are continuing their<br />
family legacy as third-generation<br />
owners and operators of New<br />
World Fendalton.<br />
Said James: “It really has been a<br />
team effort, and to see our community<br />
enjoy the refurbished<br />
store has been incredibly rewarding.<br />
It brings together the hard<br />
work of so many people.”<br />
Other new features include an<br />
ecostore refillery and the installation<br />
of a new butchery counter.<br />
In addition, energy-saving refrigeration<br />
and a daylight harvesting<br />
system to reduce electricity use<br />
has been installed in a bid to reduce<br />
the store’s carbon footprint.<br />
New World Fendalton has<br />
a strong family history. The<br />
brothers’ great grandfather<br />
Walter Turner immigrated to<br />
Christchurch when he was just<br />
14-years-old and secured a job in<br />
a local grocery store, and eventually<br />
owned the store in 1936.<br />
Walter’s son, Jim, affectionately<br />
known as ‘Gentleman Jim,’ took<br />
over the store in 1961 and had<br />
owned it up until his death in 2016.<br />
Originally part of Fendalton Mall,<br />
the Memorial Ave store had been<br />
owned by the Turner family since<br />
its opening and up until 1970, it<br />
was named Turners Grocers.<br />
Richard believed their greatgrandfather<br />
Walter and grandfather<br />
Jim would be proud of<br />
the supermarket’s evolution and<br />
LEGACY: Richard (left) and<br />
James Turner are thirdgeneration<br />
owners and<br />
operators of New World<br />
Fendalton, previously known<br />
as Turner’s Grocers until<br />
1970.<br />
continuation of its characteristic<br />
family business charm.<br />
Said Richard: “Supermarkets<br />
have changed a lot since the business<br />
opened back in the 1930s. I<br />
think changes we have made will<br />
ensure we continue to provide<br />
a top-class shopping experience<br />
for decades to come, just like our<br />
grandfathers did before us.”<br />
James and Richard are<br />
carrying on the family legacy,<br />
continuing to be a mainstay<br />
of New Zealand’s grocery<br />
collective, but also an<br />
integral cornerstone of the<br />
local western Christchurch<br />
community.<br />
Empowering women<br />
A HAIRDRESSING salon in<br />
Hornby has partnered with a<br />
charitable organisation to help<br />
provide women the confidence<br />
to shape their own financial<br />
futures.<br />
Just Cuts New Zealand<br />
launched a partnership with<br />
Dress for Success Christchurch<br />
to mark International Women’s<br />
Day last Sunday.<br />
It means Dress for Success clients<br />
can now redeem their style<br />
cut for $20 which normally cost<br />
$32 when presenting a partnership<br />
voucher at any Just Cuts in<br />
the country.<br />
The launch was held last Sunday,<br />
outside the Just Cuts salon<br />
at The Hub Hornby.<br />
Dress for Success aims to<br />
provide appropriate clothing,<br />
support and career development<br />
tools to help women thrive in<br />
work and life - it has supported<br />
more than 4500 women since<br />
2003.<br />
Just Cuts franchise owner<br />
Angela Turner said Just Cuts<br />
Hornby is proud to be responsible<br />
for this initiative which will<br />
be rolled out nationwide.<br />
“A great Style Cut is so important<br />
for self-esteem and confidence,<br />
and this voucher for Dress<br />
for Success clients will be the<br />
icing on the cake, or should I say,<br />
their crowning glory,” she said.<br />
Mrs Turner’s husband and<br />
hairdresser Michael Turner said<br />
INITIATIVE: Dress for<br />
Success executive manager<br />
Ginny Rhodes with Just Cuts<br />
mascot Justine Stylecuts and<br />
Just Cuts franchise owner<br />
Angela Turner.<br />
if the initiative goes well in New<br />
Zealand, the next step is to take<br />
it across to Australia.<br />
Mr Turner said they had<br />
confirmation from Just Cuts<br />
founder, chief executive and<br />
franchiser Denis McFadden who<br />
wants to push for it as his end.<br />
There are more than 200 Just<br />
Cuts hair salons in Australia.<br />
The event organised by The<br />
Hub Hornby shopping centre<br />
which has also teamed up with<br />
Dress for Success will see quality<br />
lightly worn clothing and accessories<br />
donated to help women<br />
enter the workforce.<br />
Customers can take items<br />

DEDICATED: Burnside Park Tennis Club’s committed group of over-80s tennis players who<br />
meet twice a week. They are (back row from left) – Michael Ellis, 80, Paul Straubel, 80, John<br />
Lamb, 84, Brian Harris, 81, Ray Fright, 80, Peter Rowe, 88, David Goodwin, 81. (Front row) –<br />

Adrienne Rowe, 87, Jenny Goodwin, 80, Vivienne Marshall, 82.<br />
Age no barrier for<br />
Burnside tennis group<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
A GROUP of octogenarians<br />
who have spent more than 440<br />
years combined playing time at<br />
the Burnside Park Tennis Club<br />
have no interest in giving the<br />
game away any time soon.<br />
The 15 men and women are<br />
all aged between 80 and 88 and<br />
are believed to be the oldest<br />
regular tennis playing group of<br />
their kind in Christchurch. They<br />
meet every Tuesday and Thursday<br />
morning all year round.<br />
They have spent a combined<br />
443 years playing at the club.<br />
The group play about 50 other<br />
senior players over the age of 50.<br />
Club spokesperson Allanah<br />
James said the group were an inspiration<br />
to everyone on court.<br />
“I play with them and against<br />
them and they run me round.<br />
“I’ve just retired and I’m in my<br />
early 60s and they’re all just so<br />
inspirational,” she said.<br />
“They are what I want to be<br />
like when I am their age.<br />
“It’s an endorsement for staying<br />
active later in life.<br />
Mrs James said the group<br />
played 90min of tennis but most<br />
of them turned up for a warmup<br />
30min before matches start.<br />
“They are so precise with their<br />
shots, she said. “They know<br />
where to place the ball to make<br />
you run around that’s for sure.<br />
“We felt it was time to celebrate<br />
them for their continued<br />
contribution to our club.”<br />
One of the group, Monica<br />
Devine, is the grandmother of<br />
current White Ferns cricketer<br />
Sophie Devine.<br />
The two oldest are married<br />
couple Peter, 88, and Adrienne<br />
Rowe, 87.<br />
Peter has been playing at the<br />
club for 18 years and Adrienne<br />
has been a club member for 34<br />
years.<br />
The longest playing member<br />
of the over 80s is Ellen Harris<br />
who has been playing at<br />
Burnside for 55 years.<br />
Stedman on track<br />
for Tokyo Paralympics<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
FORMER Middleton Grange<br />
student and paralympic sprinter,<br />
William Stedman has continued<br />
his progression towards the<br />
Tokyo Paralympics with three<br />
strong results at the national<br />
track and field championships at<br />
Nga Puna Wai.<br />
The 20-year-old won the senior<br />
men’s long jump with a best effort<br />
of 5.68m and then won the<br />
400m in 55.22sec and the 200m<br />
in 25.21 sec.<br />
The Hillmorton resident was<br />
the youngest member of the New<br />
Zealand Paralympic team four<br />
years ago at just 16.<br />
Stedman, who suffers from<br />
cerebral palsy, won bronze medals<br />
in the T36 400m and 800m<br />
events.<br />
Stedman said in spite of strong<br />
winds, he was happy with his<br />
efforts, particularly in the long<br />
jump.<br />
That’s the best I’ve gone in the<br />
long jump,” he said.<br />
Stedman is studying engineering<br />
part-time at the University<br />
of Canterbury and believes it has<br />
been easier to train for his second<br />
Paralympic campaign than his<br />
first.<br />
“University is just a lot more<br />
flexible than high school which<br />

on him ahead of Tokyo<br />
because he was such an unknown<br />

is capable of handling the added<br />
scrutiny.<br />
“Last time nobody was really<br />

but I feel prepared,” he said.<br />

Coronavirus<br />
How to protect yourself and others<br />
What is COVID-19?<br />
COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a virus<br />
called coronavirus. There are simple steps you can take to protect you and your family/whānau.<br />
Symptoms of COVID-19<br />
The symptoms of COVID-19 are:<br />
•a cough<br />
•a high temperature (at least 38°C)<br />
•shortness of breath.<br />
These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have COVID-19. The symptoms are<br />
similar to other illnesses that are much more common, such as cold and flu.<br />
However, infections with mild symptoms such as cold-like symptoms or no symptoms<br />
are likely, but it’s not known how common this is.<br />
How to protect yourself and others<br />
•Cough or sneeze into your elbow or by covering your mouth and nose with tissues.<br />
•Put used tissues in the bin or a bag immediately.<br />
•Wash your hands with soap and water often.<br />
•Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell.<br />
•Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.<br />
•Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs.<br />
•Stay home if you feel unwell and call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.<br />

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />
could it be mainly my muscles?<br />
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with<br />
a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and<br />
senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />
that a major part of the pain could be due<br />
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />
for the pain may be the muscles around<br />
the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />
blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />
near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />
(especially at night in bed).<br />
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />
old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />
through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />
was walking with her stick but without the<br />
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />
one of the factors that made her muscles<br />
spasm but the other was that older people<br />
move less and the flexed position the hip<br />
is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />
although the client was 89 and could have<br />
been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />
pain, she made a difference to her health<br />
and wellbeing.<br />
The same lack of movement can be the<br />
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />
pain and the same few treatments could<br />
make a huge difference for you.<br />
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />
techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />
The client also gets a home exercise<br />
program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />
the joint, strengthen the important core<br />
muscles and increase general strength and<br />
balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />
SHOULDER<br />
PAIN<br />
KNEE PAIN<br />
that stretches the joint in all directions<br />
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />
In many cases having the muscles<br />
released and being taught how to maintain<br />
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />
HIP PAIN<br />
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />
some maintenance therapy may be<br />
necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />
and, for older patients, better tolerated<br />
than surgery. After only one treatment<br />
you should know that it will work for you.<br />
Call them before the end of <strong>March</strong> and<br />
save $20.00 on that treatment.<br />
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door<br />
and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Grape seeds shown to have<br />
remarkable health benefits!<br />
According to researchers grape seeds<br />
may hold the potential to treat and<br />
prevent many devastating disorders.<br />
The seeds have been found to contain<br />
many powerful antioxidant such as<br />
resveratrol, catechins, epicatechins,<br />
proanthocyanadins and anthocyanins<br />
as well as other nutrients that have<br />
been shown to support the natural<br />
healing process and even slow the<br />
aging process.<br />
Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has<br />
been shown to reduce inflammation<br />
and pain, increase cellular energy,<br />
protect protein structures and<br />
increase collagen production. The<br />
powerful antioxidants in GSE can<br />
tone and strengthen the blood<br />
vessels, improve blood flow making<br />
it valuable for circulatory disorders<br />
of all kinds, including varicose veins,<br />
haemorrhoids, hardening of the<br />
arteries and impaired blood flow to<br />
the brain. It is excellent for most skin<br />
conditions because of the increase<br />
of blood flow to the skin tissue thru<br />
allowing more nutrients to the tissue<br />
cells and better waste removal from<br />
the cells. As well as this it supports<br />
collagen production. For these reasons<br />
many people report the skin looks<br />
more healthy, smoother and with<br />
better elasticity when using GSE.<br />
GSE offers a natural alternative<br />
for many people with hypertension<br />
(High Blood Pressure). Higher than<br />
normal blood pressure puts more<br />
stress on organs and can lead to<br />
atherosclerosis (hardening of the<br />
arteries) and therefore increased risk<br />
of heart disease (The heart has to<br />
work harder to supply blood around<br />
the body and may become enlarged<br />
and eventually fail) and strokes.<br />
Recent analysis of 16 randomized<br />
studies on people with elevated blood<br />
pressure found GSE to significantly<br />
lower both systolic and diastolic blood<br />
pressure but had no effect on people<br />
with normal blood pressure. Animal<br />
studies have shown GSE to improve<br />
heart function, reduce damage caused<br />
by heart attacks and prevent the<br />
formation of foam cells that play a role<br />
in the formation of arterial plaque.<br />
A growing number of studies show<br />
that GSE has powerful anticancer<br />
properties in both the prevention and<br />
treatment of many types of cancer.<br />
Studies show arthritis of every type<br />
may be greatly improved by GSE. GSE<br />
also helps protect the body against<br />
damage caused by diabetes while<br />
helping balance blood sugar levels.<br />
Another area GSE is proving highly<br />
beneficial is the brain. It has been<br />
shown to protect brain cells while<br />
stimulating the formation of healthy<br />
new brain cells. It may prove vital in<br />
the treatment of brain disorders like<br />
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.<br />
There are numerous studies on<br />
GSE that show it can help support<br />
our good health and prevent many<br />
degenerative diseases. Further<br />
detailed information is available<br />
from the Natural Health Advisers at<br />
Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy,<br />

Your Smile is your business card<br />
A smile is one of the first facial features to<br />
catch a person’s eye. How does your smile<br />
stand up? What colour are your teeth? Are<br />
they off colour, tarnished or yellowing? Many<br />
people refrain from smiling because of teeth<br />
discolouration.<br />
Sparklewhite to the rescue. Their whitening<br />
system is backed by satisfied customers,<br />
testimonials, likes and statistics to prove their<br />
simple, one to two time whitening program<br />
accomplishes the goal.<br />
Don’t be embarrassed by your teeth. Everyone<br />
knows the purpose of teeth is to mechanically<br />
break down food items by cutting and<br />
crushing them in order to prepare them to<br />
be swallowed. Your teeth are the first point of<br />
entry for beverages as well.<br />
Are you aware coffee and smoking tarnish and<br />
yellow tooth enamel. However, the two biggest<br />
culprits of yellowing teeth are none-other than<br />
tea and red wine, berries & coloured veges. Go<br />
figure.<br />
Tea & Red Wine stains occur when tannins<br />
in both of them build up in the tooth enamel.<br />
Tannins are organic substances found in<br />
plants. Tannins in tea and wine can lead to<br />
stains on teeth. In fact, some black teas can<br />
even cause more tooth discoloration than even<br />
black coffee!<br />
There is an answer. Teeth whitening, but not<br />
just any teeth whitening system will work. The<br />
kind at the supermarket or the ones which the<br />
pharmacies stock, are not strong enough to<br />
give the quick results consumers are looking<br />
for as they have a restriction on the strength of<br />
peroxide sold over the counter.<br />
Going to the dentist is more expensive,<br />
however, there is a Certified tooth whitening<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
specialist in Christchurch, Sparklewhite Teeth,<br />
who offer Cosmetic Teeth Whitening. Anyone<br />
age sixteen and up can have the procedure<br />
done. They also do couples whitening.<br />
Whether a couple or friends, you can have<br />
your session at the same time, in different<br />
rooms of course, and get a discounted rate for<br />
two!<br />
The best part of the success rate of this service<br />
is it only takes one or two times depending<br />
on the assessment. Simple. Then you can<br />
smile with confidence and never have to be<br />
embarrassed by your smile again. Vouchers<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Ground moisture barrier<br />
under low sub-floor<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />
and healthy for their families throughout<br />
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />
many of our older properties which suffer<br />
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />
people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />
from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />
musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />
very young are especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems caused by rising<br />
damp and are there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />
flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />
floored home.<br />
While insulation is important, it has been<br />
recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />
Standards introduced by the government<br />
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has<br />
a requirement to install ground moisture<br />
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />
moisture in the home.<br />
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />
on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />
where the floor is suspended over damp<br />
ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />
close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />
under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />
home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

ATTACK RISING DAMP<br />
What makes a great<br />
heat transfer system?<br />
There are a number of Heat Transfer<br />
systems on the market. Smooth-Air<br />
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU<br />
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected<br />
components to optimise the system:<br />
They use insulated duct to transfer the<br />
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.<br />
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance<br />
and number of rooms, without being noisy.<br />
The diffusers send the heat to the floor, not to<br />
skim the across the ceilings. All components<br />
are good quality - designed to operate for<br />
years without problems.<br />
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of<br />
options: One to four rooms, with or without<br />
thermostat and with a choice of grilles<br />
and diffusers. HTUs improve energy<br />
efficiency in your house, as you are<br />
using excess heat. They have low power<br />
consumption - only 80watts for the three<br />
room system. Circulating air through<br />
the house also reduces the risk of damp.<br />
You can also choose the HTU version<br />
with downjet diffusers, which throw the<br />
warm air downwards to the floor. These<br />
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to<br />
regulate which room receives the most<br />
warm air.<br />
An average size living room requires<br />
2-4 kw of heating, yet appliances such as<br />
log burners generate heat in the region<br />
of 10 -20kw. This leaves an excess of 8<br />
-16kw of heat which sits at high level<br />
in the heated room, usually above door<br />
level.<br />
Heat transfer units work best where<br />
very hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer<br />
near the ceiling. So heat pumps, which<br />
circulate warm air around the room with<br />
no layering, are not suitable as a heat source<br />
by themselves. However, if you have both<br />
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer<br />
systems with thermostat can work very well:<br />
The heat pump stops operating once the heat<br />
from the fire has heated the room, and the<br />
heat transfer kicks in above this point, once<br />
there is a layer of hot air at the ceiling.<br />

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help<br />
you with your Heat Transfer, as well as any<br />
other ventilation requirements.<br />
