Residents<br />

upset with<br />

decision to<br />

move social<br />

housing into<br />

quiet street<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

RESIDENTS SAY they have been<br />

failed in their bid to stop social<br />

housing going ahead on their<br />

quiet street.<br />

The Christchurch Methodist<br />

Mission’s plan to move 16 temporary<br />

units from Linwood Park a<br />

site in Guild St, Richmond, was<br />

granted by a city council hearings<br />

panel last week.<br />

Residents cannot appeal the<br />

decision because the mission’s<br />

resource consent application was<br />

non-notifiable, which means the<br />

public can’t make submissions<br />

on it.<br />

The units were used at<br />

Linwood Park for temporary<br />

housing after the 2011 earthquakes.<br />

Guild St resident Mike<br />

Williams felt the process failed<br />

his community especially for<br />

those who have spent thousands<br />

of dollars complying with the city<br />

council’s rules and regulations<br />

for the area.<br />

“Many in the community<br />

feel the same and have<br />

legitimate concerns about this<br />

proposal.<br />

NO STOPPING RESTRICTIONS<br />

Plans for the proposed nostopping<br />

restrictions on Perth<br />

St, Richmond are now open for<br />

feedback. This follows requests<br />

from local residents to install<br />

restrictions on the narrow road<br />

as parked cars on both sides of<br />

the street have made it difficult<br />

for vehicles to pass by, with<br />

P5 parking restrictions often<br />

ignored. Consultation closes on<br />

SEWER RENEWALS<br />

Works have started this week on<br />

the renewal of sewers on Pascoe<br />

Ave as they were reaching the<br />

end of its life. The road will be<br />

closed while the sewer is relaid,<br />

with property access potentially<br />

blocked off during working<br />

hours; residents will be notified in<br />

advance. Traffic management will<br />

be installed and on-road parking<br />

will not be available. Works are<br />

expected to last for two months.<br />

Veterinary practice<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 />

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 />

<strong>News</strong><br />

Nurse hopes to inspire others<br />

• From page 1<br />

That is why at 28-yearsold,<br />

the former Villa Maria<br />

College student has travelled<br />

to Uganda three times<br />

to make a difference to the<br />

health of impoverished<br />

families.<br />

On Sunday she returned<br />

to the city after six weeks<br />

of working in remote villages<br />

and areas of the slums<br />

around Kampala – the<br />

capital of Uganda.<br />

“What I do here is<br />

certainly very different to<br />

what I do when working in<br />

a hospital in a first world<br />

country,” Miss Smit said.<br />

On days when she travels<br />

around Kampala with a<br />

local doctor to provide<br />

medical treatment and testing<br />

for HIV and malaria,<br />

she will see 100 patients in<br />

a few hours.<br />

Twice a week, she would<br />

work alongside a charity<br />

providing wound care and<br />

treatment to a small number<br />

of more than 10,000 children<br />

living on the streets.<br />

“There are many prevalent<br />

health problems here<br />

that I had never dealt with<br />

at home, due to the living<br />

conditions here of a large<br />

number of the population,”<br />

Miss Smit said.<br />

Nicole Smit<br />

But Miss Smit, and her<br />

colleagues have managed<br />

to make a difference.<br />

Within a one-month<br />

period, she delivered more<br />

than 1500 preventative<br />

de-worming tablets to<br />

local school children to<br />

minimise the risk of children<br />

contracting a worm<br />

infection.<br />

Another major highlight<br />

was helping to build a<br />

medical centre in a small<br />

village on the outskirts of<br />

Kampala with three other<br />

volunteers.<br />

Miss Smit said one of the<br />

biggest things she has taken<br />

away from her experience<br />

overseas is what is taken<br />

for granted at home taught<br />

by families and at schools<br />

from a young age, which do<br />

not have the same significance<br />

here.<br />

She said two examples of<br />

this is the importance of<br />

hand-washing and drinking<br />

clean water each day to<br />

stay hydrated.<br />

“I don’t remember<br />

specifically being taught<br />

either of these things, it was<br />

just part of growing up for<br />

everyone around me,” Miss<br />

Smit said.<br />

She first travelled to<br />

Uganda in 20<strong>17</strong> after studying<br />

a Bachelor of Nursing<br />

and working as a registered<br />

nurse for nearly three years<br />

in the South Island Bone<br />

Marrow Transplant Unit at<br />

Christchurch Hospital.<br />

Growing up, Miss<br />

Smit never thought she<br />

would one day become a<br />

registered nurse but now<br />

could not imagine doing<br />

anything else.<br />

In 2018, she was the first<br />

recipient of the Villa Maria<br />

Past Pupil’s Association<br />

Mercy Grant and was<br />

named one of Zonta International’s<br />

100 Women of<br />

Achievement last year.<br />

“These two privileges<br />

mean so much to me<br />

because my dream is<br />

that I might inspire even<br />

one person to make their<br />

small mark on the world,<br />

which in turn could mean<br />

the absolute world to one<br />

person.”<br />

Thousands raised for<br />

Mairehau bike track<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

A SCHOOL fair has exceeded<br />

organisers’ expectations after<br />

raising nearly $30,000 towards<br />

the construction of the Mairehau<br />

bike track.<br />

St Francis of Assisi Catholic<br />

School hosted the family fun extravaganza<br />

in early <strong>March</strong> to raise<br />

funds for the bike track that will<br />

be constructed on the school’s<br />

grounds.<br />

Fair organiser Heidi-Marie Parsonson<br />

said it was a good chance<br />

for the “fairly new” school to<br />

work together on a large project.<br />

“We were blown away by how<br />

many people from our local community<br />

joined us on the day. Our<br />

children learned the importance<br />

of serving and offering gifts to<br />

help our community,” she said.<br />

“We’re delighted because the<br />

aim of the fair was to have a family<br />

fun day and it was a chance to<br />

work together. We believe that we<br />

achieved in both of those areas.”<br />

Nearly $2000 worth of raffle<br />

prizes were up for grabs on the<br />

day. Families were treated to a<br />

variety of activities ranging from<br />

soft archery, vintage car rides and<br />

giant Twister, to international<br />

cuisine and live entertainment.<br />

The Mairehau bike track is a<br />

community project and will be<br />

open to all children in the area.<br />

Local children also had a hand<br />

in the track’s design with the<br />

help of Kamo Marsh Landscape<br />

Architects.<br />

Described as a valuable resource<br />

for Mairehau, the project<br />

has encountered many setbacks<br />

due to a lack of funding. But the<br />

community were still determined<br />

to put in the hard work and continue<br />

fundraising and preparing<br />

the area.<br />

Said Mrs Parsonson: “We look<br />

forward to sharing our bike track<br />

which will be built using the<br />

proceeds from the fair.<br />

“It will benefit our community<br />

GRATEFUL: The<br />

St Francis of Assisi<br />

Catholic School held<br />

a fair this month<br />

and raised nearly<br />

$30,000 towards the<br />

Mairehau bike track’s<br />

construction.<br />

providing a free, out-of-school<br />

time activity which has been designed<br />

to reflect the uniqueness<br />

of Canterbury’s landscapes.”<br />

The track’s design is a nod<br />

towards Christchurch’s iconic<br />

landscapes and is represented<br />

throughout different elements<br />

of the track such as a ‘Halswell<br />

Quarry’ ramp area for scooters<br />

and skateboards and a ‘Godley<br />

Head/Crater Rim’ cycle track.<br />

Pump track<br />

delayed<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

INSTALLATION of the new<br />

temporary pump track destined<br />

for Shirley Community Reserve<br />

has been delayed a second<br />

time amid challenges with<br />

international shipping.<br />

Originally, the Shirley Pump<br />

Track was to be installed by the<br />

end of January, but delays with<br />

the arrival of the pump track<br />

sections impacted the project’s<br />

timeline.<br />

The city council hopes to open<br />

the track by mid-April.<br />

Said city council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge: “Challenges<br />

with shipping have been due to<br />

the track taking longer to get<br />

onto the ship, and also due to the<br />

longer port-clearing timeframes<br />

related to the coronavirus.”<br />

The 48-metre track is suitable<br />

for bikes, skateboards and<br />

scooters and is re-locatable. The<br />

track itself is temporary because<br />

it allows the area to be used for a<br />

number of years while options are<br />

kept open for future uses of the<br />

space.<br />

“We think this project will be<br />

a positive one that encourages<br />

people in the community to use<br />

an under-utilised area,” said Mr<br />

Rutledge.<br />

NOR’WEST PROPERTY UPDATE<br />

Regulations getting ‘too hard’<br />

for many kiwi landlords<br />

For thousands of Kiwi’s, buying a rental property, or<br />

even several properties, is seen as the ideal way to build<br />

up funds for retirement, or as a great tool to grow their<br />

overall wealth.<br />

Until recently, many of these landlords/investors (an<br />

estimated 75%) have managed the property themselves<br />

– finding tenants, collecting rent, and taking care of any<br />

maintenance issues, which has served many owners<br />

well over the years and up until recent times has been<br />

relatively simple for those willing to put in the time and<br />

effort.<br />

But, with the raft of new regulations and red tape<br />

being introduced to the rental sector by the government,<br />

the days of landlords managing their own rental<br />

property may be coming to an end. “Managing a rental<br />

property is becoming increasingly difficult for kiwi<br />

landlords, says Barry Ellis, owner of the Ray White<br />

Strowan and Bishopdale and the associated property<br />

management service. Many landlords are opting now to<br />

pass over this responsibility to a well-known and trusted<br />

property manager, mainly due to increased regulation<br />

being difficult for an independent landlord to keep on<br />

top of. I think many landlords have also reflected and<br />

realised that managing a rental property is really an<br />

asset management role, and in order to maximise the<br />

return and manage that asset effectively, it makes sense<br />

to have it done by an expert. As a landlord myself, I had<br />

this realisation a few years ago”<br />

Many landlords have heard about the introduction of<br />

the Healthy Homes standards but not all landlords are<br />

up to date on the extent of the requirements. The first<br />

tranche of the new Healthy Homes Standards, which are<br />

designed to provide drier, warmer homes for tenants,<br />

were introduced on July 1, 2019. They required all rental<br />

properties to have working smoke alarms, ceiling insulation<br />

and floor insulation in houses with sub floors, and a<br />

fixed heater in the living area.<br />

Tenancy agreements had to include a signed statement<br />

that the landlord would comply with the Healthy Homes<br />

Standards by July this year, new and renewed tenancy<br />

agreements will also have to include specific information<br />

about the properties current level of compliance<br />

with the standards.<br />

By July 2021, the requirements become more specific;<br />

all rental properties will need to have one or more fixed<br />

heaters that will heat the main living area to at least 18<br />

degrees C. Properties must be insulated to meet minimum<br />

R-values for insulation; they must be well-ventilated,<br />

including having ducted extractor fans in the kitchen<br />

and bathroom; there must be adequate drainage on the<br />

exterior of the house, and any gaps where draughts can<br />

get through must be closed off.<br />

“There will also be a lot of details, for example, around<br />

the size of rooms and the number of windows to work<br />

out what kind of heater is required, which will make it<br />

hard for many landlords,” Barry says. “There is a lot of<br />

information online, or you can ask a professional property<br />

manager to work all that out for you, saving you<br />

time and stress.”<br />

Another key consideration, which many landlords<br />

aren’t aware of Barry says, is that the Workplace Health<br />

& Safety Act now applies to rental properties. “Owning<br />

rentals is a business undertaking, so as such the landlord<br />

is responsible for health and safety both for the tenants<br />

and any contractors working at the property. But when a<br />

property manager is involved, it becomes their responsibility,”<br />

Barry says.<br />

“Issues like asbestos being found in the ceiling or<br />

methamphetamine contamination can create significant<br />

problems, which a property manager will deal with.<br />

We believe landlords should be more interested in the<br />

yield they will get from their investment, rather than<br />

worrying about any health and safety issues that could<br />

arise. The property manager will ensure their client, the<br />

landlord, remains compliant with all the regulations.”<br />

Barry says Ray White applies particularly high<br />

standards to its property management services, as a<br />

group they manage more than 18,000 properties in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

“Unlike the real estate industry, property management<br />

isn’t regulated, so anyone can set themselves up<br />

as a property manager, even without any experience.<br />

Ray White works at a much higher level of service and<br />

ethics. Plus, we have access to more resources and more<br />

people than most property management companies.”<br />

Ray White has compiled a comprehensive, 55-page<br />

Landlord Information Guide, which includes everything<br />

a landlord needs to know about the regulations, as well<br />

as other relevant advice, and is freely available. To get a<br />

copy you can email rentals.inline@raywhite.com.<br />

Local resident Bill Cranshaw is one of the company’s<br />

property management clients, after first buying his<br />

Casebrook rental property through Ray White Bishopdale.<br />

“They’re a one-stop-shop really,” Bill says. “I<br />

bought the property two and a half years ago through<br />

them, and Mark Davison started managing it straight<br />

away. He knew the market value for the rent, and it<br />

was set accordingly. The first tenants stayed for a year,<br />

then Mark found the new tenants. And he made sure<br />

everything was OK with the property between tenants.<br />

“He carries out regular inspections, takes photos and<br />

sends through a comprehensive report. If there are any<br />

problems with the property, the tenant calls Mark, not<br />

us, and he is available 24/7.”<br />

Mark has recently gone through the Healthy Homes<br />

requirements with Bill, advising him of what needs to be<br />

done.<br />

“What I like about Mark’s service is that it gives us<br />

peace of mind. I know that, hand on heart, he will do<br />

the right thing for that property and the tenants. We<br />

Ray White Strowan & Bishopdale property<br />

management team with owner, Barry Ellis<br />

find him very approachable, and he’s been very good for<br />

us.”<br />

Bill has also recommended Mark to friends, who have<br />

now become his clients as well.<br />

Currently, Christchurch is seeing a huge demand for<br />

rentals, with the average time a property is available for<br />

rent being less than two weeks.<br />

“There are not enough properties available to meet<br />

local demand, and good tenants are missing out,” Barry<br />

says. “The new regulations have seen a lot of rentals<br />

being sold, but with low interest rates and high demand<br />

from renters, people investing in rental property can get<br />

very good yields and good tenants, so we believe now is<br />

a good time to invest in rental property. We’re helping<br />

multiple clients right now assess their financial position<br />

through our sister company Loan Market and then helping<br />

them find the right property, determine the market<br />

value for rent and managing it for them.”<br />

Barry Ellis, Owner at Ray White Bishopdale and<br />

Strowan is offering a free one hour rental review for<br />

Canterbury landlords in <strong>March</strong> and April. “We’ll do<br />

a market review of your rental, as well as discuss with<br />

you the healthy homes standard and your requirements<br />

and answer any other questions you may have” This<br />

free consultation is simply about educating Canterbury<br />

landlords and investors to make sure they’re prepared,<br />

if they’re comfortable in continuing to manage their<br />

property then that’s no worries, we’ll always be here to<br />

provide support and advice along their journey when<br />

they need us”<br />

New motorway sparks action plan<br />

St Albans<br />

resident<br />

Mark Wilson<br />

discusses<br />

action plans<br />

in response<br />

to the<br />

Christchurch<br />

Northern Corridor issues<br />

SIR KERRY BURKE in The Star,<br />

summed it up well. The St Albans<br />

community is trying to make the<br />

best out of a rotten inheritance.<br />

The Northern Arterial mess we<br />

find ourselves in today was created<br />

decades ago has been rejected<br />

multiple times, yet this outdated<br />

transport project is somehow<br />

just about to be open, with little<br />

to no real concern of the effects<br />

on people downstream.<br />

Let’s be real about this, the<br />

motorway will not relieve<br />

congestion, it will merely create<br />

more of it and in more areas,<br />

whilst entrenching our car dependency.<br />

Christchurch has the<br />

highest per capita percentage of<br />

cars in NZ, far exceeding Auckland,<br />

Wellington and even the<br />

American average.<br />

In a decade where the worlds<br />

view on transportation has moved<br />

on from planning for single-occupant<br />

vehicles the Christchurch<br />

ACTION PLANS: St Albans residents feel concerns have been<br />

largely ignored regarding the downstream effects of the<br />

Christchurch Northern Corridor. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

City Council has not.<br />

Up until this point, the community<br />

has been very motivated<br />

to submit to the city council and<br />

have their say, and they have.<br />

Initially, we thought the city<br />

council listened. They published<br />

submission feedback with statements<br />

such as “three themes<br />

have emerged from the feedback<br />

we (CCC) received.”<br />

1. People not cars,<br />

2. Retaining a sense of community,<br />

3. Safety, particularly for<br />

walkers, cyclists, and school<br />

children.<br />

However, the final Downstream<br />

Effect Management Plan puts cars<br />

first and community last. The<br />

outright dangerous cycle lanes and<br />

footpaths are merely token gestures<br />

with many that don’t comply<br />

with the New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency guidelines.<br />

Intersections have been developed<br />

to allow as many cars as<br />

possible to be funnelled through<br />

St Albans. A seven-lane monster<br />

on Cranford St is an example of<br />

this. Resident’s accessibility to<br />

properties on arterial and local<br />

roads are now dangerous and<br />

severely compromised.<br />

In all honesty, the feedback<br />

from the community has been<br />

ignored, the important decisions<br />

had already been made years<br />

ago, the communities downstream<br />

are just collateral damage.<br />

This is the backdrop to the<br />

last two community meetings we<br />

have held.<br />

Our community is focussed<br />

on solutions not ineffective,<br />

outdated mitigation.<br />

The local community through<br />

the St Albans resident’s association<br />

have been proactive in collaborative<br />

community planning<br />

for many years, we intend to<br />

continue this tradition. The aim<br />

of the most recent meeting was<br />

to get all involved collaboratively.<br />

We also had an expert in<br />

community collaborative planning<br />

speak to us, she showed<br />

a number of examples all over<br />

the world where communities<br />

have responded to the negative<br />

effects of badly managed traffic<br />

planning, from Vancouver to<br />

Bangladesh, Brazil to Tokyo.<br />

Key points taken on board by<br />

the residents were that streets<br />

can be taken back by the community.<br />

At the end of the night<br />

we had three very clear draft<br />

plans, with a growing core group<br />

of people focused on the major<br />

areas of concern:<br />

• PT and other TDM measures<br />

needed to reduce traffic from<br />

the NArT, and local areas<br />

• The unsafe situation for<br />

residents living on Arterials<br />

entering/exiting properties<br />

due to road widening and<br />

footpath narrowing<br />

• Residents inconvenience<br />

from turning restrictions,<br />

making locals rat runners<br />

• Pedestrian and Cycle advocacy<br />

within the community,<br />

on all roads, not just the<br />

Papanui Parallel.<br />

Finally to again respond to Sir<br />

Kerry Burke, yes we are trying<br />

to make the best of this situation<br />

not of our making, but we all<br />

need to think is this acceptable<br />

in an age where we are declaring<br />

climate emergencies left, right<br />

and centre, yet this lemon of a<br />

traffic plan is being left to continue<br />

its destructive path.<br />

action plans or to be put in touch<br />

Northern Christchurch residents<br />

packed the Belfast Rugby Club<br />

last week to have their say at my<br />

public meeting with Environment<br />

Canterbury over an application that<br />

has been made to store 40,000<br />

bales of waste on a site in Blakes<br />

Road, Belfast.<br />

Residents were quick to get in<br />

touch with me after reading in<br />

the media about the application<br />

and told me they were worried<br />

to hear there might be no public<br />

consultation process for the<br />

application but that approval could<br />

potentially be granted within 15<br />

days.<br />

They asked me to help them get<br />

their voices out to Environment<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Working together, we were able to<br />

call a public meeting on Monday, 9<br />

<strong>March</strong> in the Belfast Rugby Football<br />

Club. I invited ECan to the meeting<br />

to answer residents’ questions and<br />

concerns, and residents and I did<br />

a letterbox drop to advertise the<br />

meeting.<br />

About 200 residents living around<br />

the proposed site turned out for the<br />

meeting to let ECan know that the<br />

community wants the application to<br />

go out for public notification.<br />

I was honoured to represent<br />

National’s Canterbury MPs at<br />

the remembrance service in<br />

Christchurch on Sunday as<br />

we stood together for the first<br />

anniversary of the Christchurch<br />

shootings. In the days after those<br />

tragic events, my children and I<br />

joined our fellow Cantabrians in<br />

leaving flowers and messages at<br />

Hagley Park and we welcomed the<br />

opportunity on Sunday to again<br />

stand together and say that these<br />

acts do not reflect our beliefs as<br />

a nation that supports diversity.<br />

It has been a poignant time for<br />

Cantabrians, with the memorial<br />

service last month commemorating<br />

the ninth anniversary of the<br />

Canterbury earthquakes. These<br />

events have left us united as a<br />

region and a nation.<br />

Amelia breaks national record<br />

SPORT<br />

THE CONVEYER belt of<br />

cycling talent in Canterbury<br />

looks set to continue with<br />

Avonside High School’s Amelia<br />

Sykes.<br />

Amelia, who won national<br />

under-16 titles in 2019 in the<br />

team sprint and team pursuit<br />

led by Lincoln High School’s<br />

Jenna Borthwick last year, has<br />

excelled in her own right at<br />

the national age-group track<br />

championships in Invercargill<br />

last week.<br />

The under-<strong>17</strong> rider stepped<br />

up in the 2000m individual<br />

pursuit final and in doing so<br />

broke the national record set<br />

last year by Borthwick, who has<br />

this year progressed to make<br />

the New Zealand team for the<br />

junior world championships.<br />

Qualifying in 2min 30.981sec<br />

and lowered that to 2min<br />

28.220sec to win the final,<br />

half a second under Jenna’s<br />

record.<br />

“Last year I was in the team<br />

sprint with Jenna and learned<br />

from that. This year I had full<br />

confidence and I prepared<br />

well,” she said.<br />

“I was going for that record<br />

and gave it everything. The<br />

TALENT: Avonside High School’s Amelia Sykes broke<br />

the 2000m individual pursuit record at the national<br />

age-group track championships in Invercargill<br />

last two years have been so<br />

phenomenal for me and I’m<br />

looking forward to the races<br />

coming up and hopefully some<br />

more records.”<br />

Amelia said she learned a lot<br />

from the workshops<br />

and racing in the<br />

national track series<br />

last year that she has been<br />

able to put into practice with<br />

her coach this year.<br />

Stedman<br />

on track for<br />

Paralympics<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

HILLMORTON paralympic<br />

sprinter, William Stedman<br />

has continued his progression<br />

towards the Tokyo Paralympics<br />

with three strong results at<br />

the national track and field<br />

championships at Nga Puna<br />

Wai.<br />

The 20-year-old won the<br />

senior men’s long jump with a<br />

best effort of 5.68m and then<br />

won the 400m in 55.22sec and<br />

the 200m in 25.21sec.<br />

The former Middleton<br />

Grange School student was the<br />

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<br />

medals in the T36 400m and<br />

800m events.<br />

Stedman said in spite of<br />

strong winds, he was happy<br />

with his efforts, particularly in<br />

the long jump.<br />

“That’s the best I’ve gone in<br />

the long jump,” he said.<br />

He said there was more pressure<br />

on him ahead of Tokyo because<br />

he was such an unknown<br />

four years ago but he believes he<br />

is capable of handling the added<br />

scrutiny.<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 />

Judy Fitzgerald, 83, Jan Richardson, 81, Mary Watson, 80, Monica Divine, 83, Ellen Harris, 80,<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 big-hitting White Ferns<br />

cricket captain 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 />

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High<br />

School touch rugby player Luca<br />

Tracey has been selected in the<br />

New Zealand under-16 team to<br />

tour Australia.<br />

The 14-year-old year 11 student,<br />

who lives in Sumner, was part of<br />

the Canterbury under-16 team<br />

which won the national title in<br />

Auckland in January after going<br />

through the tournament undefeated.<br />

Luca is also the CBHS under 15<br />

sevens captain who are the current<br />

South Island champions.<br />

The team will meet for a training<br />

camp in Auckland in July<br />

before playing in the Australian<br />

State Championships on the Sunshine<br />

Coast in September.<br />

“They had selectors at all our<br />

games at nationals but when I<br />

found out I made it, I was quite<br />

surprised given to make it because<br />

I am quite young for the grade.<br />

The playmaker said he took up<br />

the sport socially five years ago<br />

and has progressed through the<br />

ranks ever since.<br />

“I’ve always enjoyed running<br />

fast and since I do track and<br />

field as well, the skills help both<br />

sports,’’ he said.<br />

Luca represents Wainoni’s<br />

Lions Athletic Club where he is<br />

the Canterbury schools’ 100m<br />

SKILLS: Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School’s Luca Tracey<br />

has been selected for the<br />

New Zealand under-16 touch<br />

team which will head to the<br />

Sunshine Coast in September.<br />

and 200m champion for his age as<br />

well as the South Island Schools’<br />

100m champion.<br />

He said both sevens and touch<br />

allow him to play a similar style of<br />

game in each code.<br />

“You have to be elusive, think<br />

on your feet and make the right<br />

decisions.”<br />

He said he would continue<br />

training in his own time over the<br />

winter before the first camp to<br />

make sure he was ready to go.<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 />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<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 />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<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 />

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 />

101 Seaview Road, New Brighton and<br />

PH: 388-5757. They are always happy<br />

to help!<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 />

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 />

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 />

• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961<br />

• Members of the Insulation Association of<br />

New Zealand.<br />

• We offer a free measure and quote in the<br />

Canterbury region with no obligations.<br />

• Assessments can be made in all other<br />

regions by arrangement.<br />

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />

Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote<br />

and complimentary appraisal of your<br />

underfloor ground moisture barrier needs.<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 />

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<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 />
