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 />

In Brief<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 />
<strong>March</strong> 23 on the city council’s<br />
Have Your Say page.<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 />

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 />

held from August 25 to<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 />
SPORT<br />
National opportunity<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 />

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 />
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 />

you with your Heat Transfer, as well as any<br />
other ventilation requirements.<br />
