to address
problems at
intersection
• By Bea Gooding
REFUGE ISLANDS and
pedestrian surveys have
been suggested to improve
a problematic Cashmere
intersection following a
campaign to address it.
Concerned parents and
schools have called for better
pedestrian facilities on
Cashmere Rd and surrounding
streets due to cars failing to
indicate and high traffic
volumes putting children in
danger.
The issue has predominantly
involved the Barrington St and
Cashmere Rd roundabout, where
residents have been fearing for
their safety while trying to cross
the road.
Last year, the issue was
brought forward to the
Spreydon-Cashmere
Community Board, who
requested advice on measures to
improve the area.
Following an investigation,
city council staff have considered
the area a “high priority” for
the installation of safe crossing
facilities.

‘Regular reports of near misses’
Christine
Harris
• From page 1
“We would consider this area a
high priority for the installation
of dedicated pedestrian crossing
facilities, particularly given the
high traffic volumes and that few
nearby facilities exist,” the report
read.
“Given the complexities of
crossing the road at a roundabout,
we would recommend
re-considering the previously
proposed pedestrian refuge island
outside 31 Cashmere Rd.
“As a next step, a pedestrian
survey could be undertaken and
other community surveying
options could be explored to estimate
the level
of suppressed
pedestrian
demand in
this area.”
Since the
issue was
brought forward,
a number
of groups
wrote to the
community
board with concerns, including
disability service Hohepa Canterbury,
Cashmere High School
and the Barrington Cashmere
Safe Streets group.
Said Thorrington School
principal Christine Harris:
“Locating pedestrian crossing
points so close to the heart
of the roundabout is a major
safety (collision) issue. There are
regular reports of near-misses
at this roundabout and many
parents chose to drive their
children to school to ensure their
safety.
“While this sounds like a
solution, it does not foster independence
in children who should
be able to walk to their local
school.”
Cashmere Rd is a minor arterial
road with high traffic volumes
consisting of about 16,000
vehicles on weekdays. Morning
peak hour traffic is more than
1200 cars per hour in both directions.
DANGER: The
Cashmere
Rd and
Barrington St
roundabout
and
surrounding
streets
have been
identified
as a priority
to install
pedestrian
safety
measures.
As it was an arterial route to
and from Lyttelton Port, heavy
vehicles make up a “surprisingly”
high volume of 10 per cent of
vehicles travelling through the
location in question.
Due to Cashmere Rd being
“strongly” residential and the
fact it was nearby green spaces,
schools and other amenities,
pedestrian demand was high.
Pupils
rewarded for
summertime
reading
A SUMMER reading challenge
has enabled a primary school to
win a prize delicious enough that
even the Cookie Monster would
be envious.
Taking part in the city council
libraries’ annual Summertime
Reading Challenge paid off for
West Spreydon Primary School
pupils who received Cookie Time
treats last week.
The challenge celebrates the joy
of reading, encouraging people of
all ages to simply pick up a book
and read during the summer
holidays.
The challenge took place from
the beginning of December last
year to the end of February.
Children under 13-years-old were
encouraged to read at least three
books and describe what they
thought about each book using
three adjectives.
There was also a competition for
children older than 13, and adults.
Along with prizes for individual
readers, Bromley Primary School,
and Diamond Harbour School
were also in the mix of winners
who received cookies and book
packs.

Genealogy a passion and an addiction
• By Bea Gooding
“IF YOU figure there are 25
years between a generation,
then 500 years ago there were
1,048,576 people involved in
creating us.”
For Fiona Lees, getting to the
bottom of her family roots was
like an addiction.
Just like the women who established
the NZ Society of Genealogists,
the Canterbury branch
convener has been hungry to
learn more about her origins
since she was a teenager.
The first generation mainlander
born to Scottish parents
started feeding her passion for
family history after conversations
with her grandmother led
to more questions than answers.
She started to connect the
dots in her little notebook full
of important dates to determine
“whose brother was who,” later
growing into a passion to help
others trace their roots.
“I’ve managed to prove that
one [family] line was an adopted
line through records and oldstyle
sleuthing,” said Lees who
described her most rewarding
discoveries.
“I’ve also managed to prove
that my family was shipwrecked
in 1862 off the Isle of Wight in
the United Kingdom. The Times
in London gave my ancestors’
names.
“It’s a passion and addiction –
once you’ve been bitten, that’s it.”
The society, based in Auckland,
has promoted the study
of family history and genealogies
since 1967, providing the
necessary tools and expertise
for others to make their own
discoveries.

friends had a shared curiosity
about their ancestors and eventually
started a group.
More than 50 years later, it
morphed into a national society
and has since grown into more
than 60 regional branches across
the country.
Established in 1968, that makes
the Canterbury regional branch
the oldest in New Zealand.
Lees was appointed the Canterbury
convener in July last year
and has been on the committee
for more than 10 years. But her
involvement spans back to the
1980s.
Retiring last year, she worked
for the city council for 35 years
as a technical application specialist
helping internal staff with
their computers.
As the convener, she puts
together monthly newsletters,
deals with memberships and
transcribes school records for
future genealogists as it was an
“underused” record in NZ.
“In Britain, there are census
records with raw data being kept
where you can track your family
every 10 years,” she said.
“But in NZ, governments saw
fit not to keep that raw data and
only had summaries on how
many people lived in suburbs.
School records tell you where
you’ve come from, who your
guardians are, your age, and
where you’re going to next –
you can track a family through
there.”
Based at the Parklands Community
Centre, the society had
many resources on hand including
a branch library, computers,
paper records, parish registers
and monumental inscriptions.
People can become members
and connect with other family
history enthusiasts nationwide to
share tips and tricks on research
methods.
“We encourage people who
come to the library to have the
basics about yourself, your parents
and grandparents, it’s good
to have a skeleton tree. Otherwise
by the time they’ve talked
for five minutes you’ve lost all
the information,” Lees said.

for hungry-to-learn Fiona
“We have people rock up and
say: ‘I want to learn more about
my family, I think they came
from Denmark.’ So people
who are interested in searching
that area have a meeting, share
ideas and tips on how or where
to find things.”
The process was not always
simple seeing as 80 per cent
of information could not be
found online, but having the
internet nonetheless definitely
made things easier.
“We used to have to go and
write letters, visit places to get
information but now you’ve
got lots of information online,”
she said.
But most genealogists were
not interested in just a list of
facts – the importance of social
history built a much better picture
of how that person lived.
Putting the facts together
and shaping it into a story
“makes it far more fun.”
“It’s always nice to put your
person in a place with what
else was happening in the
world at that time. A list of
facts is a bit boring,” she said.
“Most of the real genealogists
aren’t just interested in
names and the date of birth,
marriage and death. They
actually want to learn more
about people, what they did,
where they lived and why they
shifted countries.”
Over the years, the branch
has seen a rise in people wanting
to know more about where
they came from through the
avenue of DNA testing.
“We’re also finding people
are related to each other within
the branch through DNA
which is fun,” she said.
But DNA testing did not
always have the most desirable
results.
Although people could trace
their ethnicity or find birth
families if they were adopted,
finding out they were not
related to someone was “devastating.”
“There are brick walls that
will never be solved,” Lees
said.
“But for some people, the
downside with DNA is showing
that who you thought was
your father, actually wasn’t.
That has been really devastating.”
Lees shares her addiction of
family history with her husband,
David, throughout 40
years of marriage.
The mutual understanding
meant date nights were a little
more interesting in odd places
like cemeteries and libraries.
For Lees, that passion was
wanting to know more about
where she came from and what
influences made her the person
she is today,
But knowing your roots can
also be essential to one’s own
survival.
“For some, it might even be
a health component. Heart
attacks, strokes or Alzheimer’s
might run in the family.
Looking at what people died
of might be a push for some
people.”

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham
sees clients with a range of symptoms but
many of their middle-aged and senior clients
visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
and wellbeing.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the joint in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
HIP PAIN
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated
than surgery. After only one treatment you
should know that it will work for you. Call
and only pay $50 on that treament.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the
door and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

Pool party planned for friendly pooches
THE CITY’S most anticipated
doggy swim event is back, and
it’s sure to set tails wagging.
The city council’s annual
pooch pool party will be held on
April 10 at Waltham Pool.
City council head of recreation,
The Avon-
Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai
Trust is a
non-profit
organisation
formed
to protect
one of New
Zealand’s most important
coastal wetlands. Each
week, board members
will discuss matters
regarding the estuary,
its rich history and what
makes it unique. This
week Bill Simpson writes
about the history of
Beachville
It wasn’t long ago that some of
the most highly-priced real estate
in Christchurch was a squatters’
village.
We call it Beachville now and
sports and events Nigel Cox said
that if previous events were anything
to go by, this one was sure
to be a hit.
“It’s a great outing for the
whole family. Everyone always
leaves with a smile on their face
the views over the estuary and
the mountains are magnificent.
The first European settlers
there were squatters, a bunch
of happy fishermen, content to
build shacks and while away
their time enjoying the view, a
tipple or three and each other’s
company no doubt.
In reality, they provided
Christchurch with a constant
supply of fish.
Patiki (flounder) were once
abundant here; the area was
actually known as Waipatiki
(flounder water).
Up until the 1930s Fisherman’s
Flat was a bustling village, with
a wide beach where both cockles
and shrimp were abundant, and
mudflats where residents could
spear flounders and eels.
Redcliffs shrimps were considered
a delicacy and were sent
throughout the country. But the
wide, shallow beach was filled in
… and the dogs are ecstatic.”
There are just a few rules –
only one dog per owner, and no
humans in the pool.
“We also ask that only
vaccinated and well-behaved
dogs come along.’’
ESTUARY MATTERS
Squatters’ village now prime real estate
NATURAL: Thousands of dead krill recently turned

thing happened in 1898.

Sponsored by Jim’s Dog Wash,
the Pooch Pool Party is split into
two sessions based on size.
Small to medium-sized dogs –
up to 56 cm tall – will be invited
in to make a splash between
10am and noon, while a separate
estuary and the water edge along
Southshore opposite Beachville
turned red.
An early account reports the
same thing happening in 1898.
In May that year, the beaches at
Fishermans Flat were covered

large dogs between 1pm and
3pm. The $3.50 entry fee will go

After the event, the pool
will be drained for its winter
shutdown.
with what was called “whale
food” and then, as happened this
year, the foreshore was said to be
painted red.
It is fascinating to note that
this land we now call Beachville
was part of a parcel of land
bought by William Moorhouse
and his brothers just after they
arrived in Christchurch in 1851.
Moorhouse became
a superintendent of the
Canterbury Provincial
Government and was the
champion of the Lyttelton rail
tunnel which opened in 1867.
The land passed out of the
hands of the Moorhouses in
1877. Later, in 1895, it was subdivided
into 96 sections.
But it seems that it took many
years before permanent houses
were built there. In the meantime
the squatting fishermen
built their huts and enjoyed free
rent.

Cashmere High School’s A team in action against
St Andrew’s College A last week. After some good
performances, Cashmere finished the three-day
tournament sixth overall, with St Andrew’s coming
in seventh during the Canterbury senior secondary
school indoor volleyball championships held at Pioneer
Recreation & Sport Centre and Cowles Stadium. Twenty
boys and 29 girls teams from secondary schools around
Canterbury entered the senior tournament, aimed at year
11-13 players. The event provided a good warm-up for
the winning teams going on to compete at the national
championships in Palmerston North later this month.

HOME & HEATING
The facts about home ventilation
Balanced Pressure
vs Positive Pressure
Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need
to be suitably ventilated, either with
opening windows or forced ventilation.
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this
provision is to safeguard people from
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of
fresh air.” There are many benefits to
forced, or mechanical, ventilation over
opening windows, including warmth,
security, reduction of outside noises and
reduction of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in
from outside via the roof space and force
the stale air out through gaps around
windows and doors. The incoming air
from these systems
has to be heated
or cooled to keep
the house warm in
winter or cool in
summer.
The Smooth-
Air HEX390 is a
‘balanced pressure’
system. It extracts
air from the house
and at the same
time brings in
fresh air. These
two streams of air
pass through a heat
exchanger, which
warms incoming air in winter and cools in
summer if air conditioning is being used.
This means that up to 80% of the energy
which would be wasted using a traditional
positive pressure system is recovered,
resulting in significant energy savings and
therefore lower heating or cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure
ventilation systems have been considerably
more expensive than traditional positive
pressure systems. However, with Smooth-
Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a
HEX390 balanced pressure system can be
installed for a similar price as a traditional
positive pressure system.
You can contact Smooth-Air on sales@
smooth-air.co.nz or 0800 SMOOTH.

With the ever changing weather patterns,
heat pumps have the flexibility of being able
to heat and cool which is an advantage no
other appliance can offer. This represents
great value for your investment as you can
use it all year round. The team at Enviro
Master Ltd can help keep you cool this
Summer either at home or work. Enviro
Master supplies, installs and services all the
leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu,
Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team
can show you which system and brand will
best suit your needs.
With new regulations coming in for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals, now
is a great time to beat the 1st of July deadline.
Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead
to mould growth and dampness in your
property, leading to costlier maintenance
and an unhealthy living environment.
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat
output and lower running costs, like a heat
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the
area effectively. Enviro Master are well
experienced with the Tenancy Services
software to ensure that you are meeting your
requirements.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for any
repair or damage caused to the system due
to poor installation. Enviro Master’s ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration so
customers have an understanding on how it
will best meet their needs.
