Plan to turn former Hornby<br />
hotel site into a retail hub<br />
NEW CHAPTER: The Equestrian Hotel (below) will be demolished to make way for a new commercial development hub if approved.<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A PLAN to turn the site of an iconic<br />
hotel into a bustling hub of retail<br />
activity could become a reality in<br />
Hornby.<br />
A resource consent application by<br />
Kirk Roberts Consulting Engineers<br />
Ltd is currently being considered<br />
by the city council to turn the<br />
former Equestrian Hotel site into<br />
a commercial development called<br />
“The Railyard.”<br />
The hotel closed down last week<br />
and will be demolished after more<br />
than 50 years of serving the community<br />
due to costs associated with<br />
bringing the building up to modern<br />
standards.<br />
The application put together<br />
by Planz Consultants said the<br />
proposed development will have<br />
significant positive effects for the<br />
community as the area’s population<br />
continues to grow.<br />
The Tower St development, if approved,<br />
will comprise six new buildings<br />
for both retail and hospitality<br />
purposes with a mezzanine and<br />
outdoor dining area and will have<br />
about 151 on-site car parks.<br />

New fire station, training facility to<br />
benefit community and students<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
THE COUNTRY’S first fire<br />
station and training facility to be<br />
built alongside a university will<br />
be ready to serve the community<br />
next month.<br />
The Ilam Fire Station and the<br />
fire engineering<br />
educational<br />
training<br />
facility builds<br />
are nearing<br />
completion,<br />
settling into their<br />
new home next<br />
to Canterbury<br />
University, at the<br />
Creyke Rd and<br />
Montana Ave intersection.<br />
Dave<br />
Stackhouse<br />
The project forms part of a<br />
rebuild programme following<br />
the Christchurch earthquakes<br />
involving the redevelopment of<br />
12 stations to create a modern,<br />
unified network of stations<br />
across the city.<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand area commander Dave<br />
Stackhouse said FENZ required<br />
a new crew station in Ilam to<br />
support rapid responses in the<br />

community.<br />
And because the university<br />
was the only one in the country<br />
to offer fire engineering qualifications,<br />
the training facility<br />
will share resources and work<br />
hand-in-hand with Canterbury<br />
University.<br />
“Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand required a single career<br />
crew station in Ilam and the new<br />
station will provide state-of-theart<br />
facilities to support rapid response<br />
to the Ilam community,”<br />
Stackhouse said.<br />
“The new site will also be<br />
home to a fire engineering educational<br />
training facility, where<br />
fire engineers can work closely<br />
with students and experts of the<br />
University of Canterbury’s fire<br />
engineering programme.<br />
“Canterbury is the only university<br />
in New Zealand offering<br />
qualifications in fire engineering.”<br />
Having the station alongside<br />
the university provided an opportunity<br />
to upskill current and<br />
future fire engineers.<br />
It also provided fire safety<br />
and risk reduction activities to<br />
a student audience which was<br />
traditionally “harder to achieve.”<br />
The new station includes<br />
two fire appliance bays,<br />
decontamination showers and<br />
areas for operational equipment<br />
and transitional firefighters,<br />
six single bedrooms and PPE<br />
lockers.<br />
It also includes a kitchen,<br />
lounge, gym, meeting rooms,<br />
and a secure yard for parking<br />
and to wash appliances.<br />
The training facility comprises<br />
of an office space for<br />
six fire engineers and two hot<br />
desks, two training rooms<br />
that can cater for 100 people,<br />
a kitchen, cafeteria and rooms<br />
for meetings, utility and locker<br />
amenities and ablutions.<br />

the official opening date will be<br />
announced closer to the time.<br />

Genealogy a passion and an addiction<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
“IF YOU figure there are 25<br />
years between a generation,<br />
then 500 years ago there were<br />
1,048,576 people involved in<br />
creating us.”<br />
For Fiona Lees, getting to the<br />
bottom of her family roots was<br />
like an addiction.<br />
Just like the women who established<br />
the NZ Society of Genealogists,<br />
the Canterbury branch<br />
convener has been hungry to<br />
learn more about her origins<br />
since she was a teenager.<br />
The first generation mainlander<br />
born to Scottish parents<br />
started feeding her passion for<br />
family history after conversations<br />
with her grandmother led<br />
to more questions than answers.<br />
She started to connect the<br />
dots in her little notebook full<br />
of important dates to determine<br />
“whose brother was who,” later<br />
growing into a passion to help<br />
others trace their roots.<br />
“I’ve managed to prove that<br />
one [family] line was an adopted<br />
line through records and oldstyle<br />
sleuthing,” said Lees who<br />
described her most rewarding<br />
discoveries.<br />
“I’ve also managed to prove<br />
that my family was shipwrecked<br />
in <strong>18</strong>62 off the Isle of Wight in<br />
the United Kingdom. The Times<br />
in London gave my ancestors’<br />
names.<br />
“It’s a passion and addiction –<br />
once you’ve been bitten, that’s it.”<br />
The society, based in Auckland,<br />
has promoted the study<br />
of family history and genealogies<br />
since 1967, providing the<br />
necessary tools and expertise<br />
for others to make their own<br />
discoveries.<br />

friends had a shared curiosity<br />
about their ancestors and eventually<br />
started a group.<br />
More than 50 years later, it<br />
morphed into a national society<br />
and has since grown into more<br />
than 60 regional branches across<br />
the country.<br />
Established in 1968, that makes<br />
the Canterbury regional branch<br />
the oldest in New Zealand.<br />
Lees was appointed the Canterbury<br />
convener in July last year<br />
and has been on the committee<br />
for more than 10 years. But her<br />
involvement spans back to the<br />
1980s.<br />

deals with memberships and<br />
transcribes school records for<br />
future genealogists as it was an<br />
“underused” record in NZ.<br />
“In Britain, there are census<br />
records with raw data being kept<br />
where you can track your family<br />
every 10 years,” she said.<br />
“But in NZ, governments saw<br />
fit not to keep that raw data and<br />
only had summaries on how<br />
many people lived in suburbs.<br />
School records tell you where<br />
you’ve come from, who your<br />
guardians are, your age, and<br />
where you’re going to next –<br />
you can track a family through<br />
there.”<br />
Based at the Parklands Community<br />
Centre, the society had<br />
many resources on hand including<br />
a branch library, computers,<br />
paper records, parish registers<br />
and monumental inscriptions.<br />
People can become members<br />
and connect with other family<br />
history enthusiasts nationwide to<br />
share tips and tricks on research<br />
methods.<br />
“We encourage people who<br />
come to the library to have the<br />
basics about yourself, your parents<br />
and grandparents, it’s good<br />
to have a skeleton tree. Otherwise<br />
by the time they’ve talked<br />
for five minutes you’ve lost all<br />
the information,” Lees said.<br />

for hungry-to-learn Fiona<br />
“We have people rock up and<br />
say: ‘I want to learn more about<br />
my family, I think they came<br />
from Denmark.’ So people<br />
who are interested in searching<br />
that area have a meeting, share<br />
ideas and tips on how or where<br />
to find things.”<br />
The process was not always<br />
simple seeing as 80 per cent<br />
of information could not be<br />
found online, but having the<br />
internet nonetheless definitely<br />
made things easier.<br />
“We used to have to go and<br />
write letters, visit places to get<br />
information but now you’ve<br />
got lots of information online,”<br />
she said.<br />
But most genealogists were<br />
not interested in just a list of<br />
facts – the importance of social<br />
history built a much better picture<br />
of how that person lived.<br />
Putting the facts together<br />
and shaping it into a story<br />
“makes it far more fun.”<br />
“It’s always nice to put your<br />
person in a place with what<br />
else was happening in the<br />
world at that time. A list of<br />
facts is a bit boring,” she said.<br />
“Most of the real genealogists<br />
aren’t just interested in<br />
names and the date of birth,<br />
marriage and death. They<br />
actually want to learn more<br />
about people, what they did,<br />
where they lived and why they<br />
shifted countries.”<br />
Over the years, the branch<br />
has seen a rise in people wanting<br />
to know more about where<br />
they came from through the<br />
avenue of DNA testing.<br />
“We’re also finding people<br />
are related to each other within<br />
the branch through DNA<br />
which is fun,” she said.<br />
But DNA testing did not<br />
always have the most desirable<br />
results.<br />
Although people could trace<br />
their ethnicity or find birth<br />
families if they were adopted,<br />
finding out they were not<br />
related to someone was “devastating.”<br />
“There are brick walls that<br />
will never be solved,” Lees<br />
said.<br />
“But for some people, the<br />
downside with DNA is showing<br />
that who you thought was<br />
your father, actually wasn’t.<br />
That has been really devastating.”<br />
Lees shares her addiction of<br />
family history with her husband,<br />
David, throughout 40<br />
years of marriage.<br />
The mutual understanding<br />
meant date nights were a little<br />
more interesting in odd places<br />
like cemeteries and libraries.<br />
For Lees, that passion was<br />
wanting to know more about<br />
where she came from and what<br />
influences made her the person<br />
she is today,<br />
But knowing your roots can<br />
also be essential to one’s own<br />
survival.<br />
“For some, it might even be<br />
a health component. Heart<br />
attacks, strokes or Alzheimer’s<br />
might run in the family.<br />
Looking at what people died<br />
of might be a push for some<br />
people.”<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<br />
sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />
many of their middle-aged and senior clients<br />
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 />
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 />
balance. They teach a movement sequence<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 />
HIP PAIN<br />
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<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 you<br />
should know that it will work for you. Call<br />
and only pay $50 on that treament.<br />
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the<br />

TRANQUIL HOME FOR A<br />
COUNTRY GIRL<br />
ADVERTISEMENT<br />
Helen, a serviced apartment resident at<br />
Ryman’s Margaret Stoddart Retirement<br />
Village in Riccarton, is a born and bred<br />
country girl.<br />
“I was born out in the country in Darfield,”<br />
says Helen.<br />
Helen’s father worked in the coal mines,<br />
while her mother looked after Helen and<br />
her four younger siblings.<br />
The Selwyn District native loved<br />
growing up in the countryside, especially<br />
picnicking and swimming in the river near<br />
their house.<br />
“My mother would pack us some food<br />
every day during holidays. We would<br />
head down to the river and spend the<br />
day until 3 o’clock swimming and eating,”<br />
Helen fondly recalls.<br />
“We weren’t allowed in the river straight<br />
after lunch, we had to wait!” she laughs.<br />
Helen was inspired to study maternity<br />
nursing in Christchurch after talking to<br />
her neighbour, who was a nurse.<br />
“She gave me my first minute watch,”<br />
Helen smiles.<br />
After two years Helen met fellow country<br />
enthusiast Tom, a greenskeeper.<br />
“His name was really Royal, he hated<br />
that. It wasn’t until I saw his name on the<br />
marriage certificate that I realised his<br />
name wasn’t Tom but Royal!”<br />
Tom and Helen have two children, Jane<br />
and Alistair and lived in the country until<br />
Tom passed away.<br />
“After four years I moved to Hornby in<br />
Christchurch to be closer to my children,”<br />
Helen says.<br />
Helen loved living in her house where<br />
she could potter in her garden, but when<br />
her health took a downward spiral, she<br />
needed respite care and received that at<br />
Margaret Stoddart.<br />
Helen enjoyed her time at the village<br />
so much that she decided to make a<br />
permanent move to a serviced apartment<br />
in 2019. For Helen an important factor<br />
in choosing to live at the village was<br />
transport. As she doesn’t drive, a nearby<br />
bus stop was a must.<br />
Margaret Stoddart village is conveniently<br />
located close to beautiful Hagley Park<br />
and the city centre.<br />
The central location of the boutique<br />
village allows residents to take advantage<br />
of the many amenities of Riccarton and<br />
the central city, while also having the<br />
benefit of being tucked away from the<br />
hustle and bustle.<br />
“It has a bus stop close to the village. It’s<br />
great for those residents who don’t drive<br />
anymore,” says Margaret Stoddart Sales<br />
Advisor Lynne Bretherton.<br />
Lynne says that serviced apartments<br />
are the perfect combination of<br />
independence and support. It really is<br />
the best of both worlds.<br />
“The place is fit for the Queen!”<br />
Helen, a Ryman resident<br />
“Serviced apartments offer you the<br />
ability to maintain your wellbeing<br />
without the worries. They also offer you<br />
independence but just outside your door,<br />
there is fantastic support if, or when, you<br />
need it,” Lynne says.<br />
“You’re never alone. Life is so<br />
much easier.”<br />
Helen’s serviced apartment looks out on<br />
the garden, and with a wink and a twinkle<br />
in her eye, she says that’s the reason she<br />
chose it.<br />
“You get all the help you might need, and<br />
the staff are just wonderful,” Helen says<br />
of village life.<br />
“The place is fit for the Queen!”<br />
With serviced apartments available now,<br />
it is a great time to come in and see the<br />
village. If you would like to arrange a tour<br />
please call Lynne on 337 6500.<br />
RESPITE CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT<br />
Being there when you need us is just one of<br />
the ways we’re pioneering a new way of living.<br />

Police kiosk keys handed over to daughter of volunteer<br />
THE KEYS to the former police<br />
kiosk building in Cathedral<br />
Square may no longer serve any<br />
purpose but for Trish Ludemann,<br />
they’re a precious link to her late<br />
father, Max Sword.<br />
Sword spent most of his<br />
retirement years working in<br />
the kiosk, co-ordinating the<br />
volunteers and was always telling<br />
his daughter stories about things<br />
that went on there.<br />
When Ludemann recently<br />
learned the kiosk building was<br />
being demolished, she contacted<br />
the city council and asked if she<br />
could have a piece of wood from<br />
the building as a memento of<br />
her father, who died six years<br />
ago at 82.<br />
The team managing the building’s<br />
demolition decided that<br />
Ludemann deserved a better<br />
memento than a piece of wood<br />
and gifted her the keys to the<br />

building.<br />
Said Ludemann: “I was so<br />
happy. I bought the keys home<br />
and said: ‘Right dad, you have<br />
your own set of keys now.’<br />
“I’ve put them in the safe with<br />
Riccarton High School’s B team in action against the school’s C team at the Canterbury senior<br />
secondary school indoor volleyball championships held at Pioneer Recreation & Sport Centre<br />
and Cowles Stadium last week. Twenty boys and 29 girls teams from secondary schools around<br />
Canterbury entered the three-day tournament, aimed at year 11-13 players. The event provided<br />
a good warm-up for the winning teams going on to compete at the national championships<br />
in Palmerston North later this month. Riccarton HS B team finished 14th in the girls division 2<br />
category.<br />

mementoes I have of him. There<br />
are so many memories in that<br />
safe.<br />
“Dad loved working in the<br />
kiosk and co-ordinated the volunteers<br />
for more than 25-years.<br />
When they reopened the building<br />
after the earthquakes, they<br />
asked dad to cut the ribbon. He<br />
was in hospital at the time but<br />
there was nothing that was going<br />
to stop him from cutting the<br />
ribbon.<br />
“We got him a wheelchair and<br />
we sneaked him out to the opening<br />
and then we took him back<br />
to the hospital – there was no<br />
way he was going to miss it.’’<br />
Ludemann suspected that her<br />
dad secretly would have liked to<br />
have been a policeman, which is<br />
why he enjoyed his time working<br />
in the kiosk so much.<br />
“When he died the volunteers<br />
and the police formed a guard of<br />
honour at the crematorium. He<br />
would have been so thrilled by<br />
that.’’<br />
The demolition of the former<br />
police kiosk is expected to be<br />
completed by the end of this<br />
week.<br />
The kiosk is being demolished<br />
to make way for the eventual<br />
relocation of the Citizens’ War<br />
Memorial into the square.<br />

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

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