New use for old defibrillators<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

THE HORNBY Community<br />

Patrol has been gifted life-saving<br />

equipment to assist them in<br />

their efforts to keep residents<br />

safe.<br />

The city council aquatics team<br />

has partnered with the New<br />

Zealand Red Cross to provide<br />

automated external defibrillators<br />

in the community.<br />

Formally available in city<br />

council facilities, they are<br />

already back in use. The donation<br />

was also extended to the<br />

Christchurch North Community<br />

Patrol.<br />

“While the defibrillators have<br />

saved several lives in council<br />

facilities, including poolside and<br />

in work areas, they are suitable<br />

for community use for another<br />

few years,” city council head of<br />

recreation, sports and events<br />

Nigel Cox said.<br />

“We update our defibrillators<br />

to best meet the needs of our<br />

busy spaces and some of the<br />

older models can be reused in<br />

the wider community.<br />

“These are handed to Red<br />

Cross for a full check and new<br />

batteries and pads before a<br />

suitable community home is<br />

found.”<br />

member Norm Williams.<br />

national products manager<br />

Marcus Bird said that the<br />

city council AEDs – initially<br />

provided through Red Cross –<br />

still have “plenty of life left and<br />

are ideal for community groups<br />

that may not normally have<br />

access to the devices.”<br />

“Nearly half of those people<br />

treated for cardiac arrest<br />

survive thanks to a defibrillator<br />

provided by a community<br />

responder,” he said.<br />

“They are such an important<br />

piece of the health and safety<br />

kit, with the council AEDs at a<br />

range of facilities and out in the<br />

hills environments.<br />

“With the council upgrading<br />

AEDs to the latest technology at<br />

high-use facilities such as pools,<br />

we can find a use for the older<br />

models. In this case, several<br />

community patrols had already<br />

approached us about keeping<br />

AEDs in their patrol cars.”<br />

The defibrillators are in good<br />

working order and can be repurposed,<br />

cleaned and checked out<br />

- with new batteries if needed<br />

- and used for a further five to<br />

seven years.<br />

“The more AEDs out there in<br />

the wider community, the better<br />

the chance of survival following<br />

a cardiac arrest,” Bird said.<br />

Many buildings<br />

free to access<br />

• From page 1<br />

The colleges will join 44 other<br />

buildings, including the Old Government<br />

building, Muse Art Hotel,<br />

Lane Neave, Rāpaki Church, Fo<br />

Guang Shan Buddhist temple, Te<br />

Hononga Civic Offices, Millstream<br />

apartment and the Lyttelton studio<br />

monastery.<br />

Eighty-five per cent of the buildings<br />

will be free to access.<br />

Said Halliday: “Architecture<br />

is a complex, rich art form and<br />

cultural product – it connects us<br />

with different histories, design,<br />

big and small ideas, materials and<br />

technologies, politics, art, identity,<br />

social and cultural values. There’s a<br />

lot to engage with and learn about<br />

when you focus on a building’s<br />

architecture.<br />

“Longer term we want Open<br />

Christchurch to be a gateway for<br />

more people to get involved in city<br />

making – in the processes and cultures<br />

that shape where we all live.<br />

“Open Christchurch is a celebration<br />

of the city’s architecture.<br />

We’ve packed the programme<br />

with access to a diverse range of<br />

buildings in the hope that’s there<br />

something for everyone.”<br />

200km confidence-inspiring<br />

expedition tests students<br />

A GROUP of Hornby High<br />

School students have a whole lot<br />

more confidence in themselves<br />

now that they have completed a<br />

200km expedition through the<br />

Southern Alps.<br />

The 12 tired, year 10 students<br />

were greeted with a moving kapa<br />

haka performance by their peers<br />

when they cycled back onto<br />

school grounds after spending<br />

four days in the wilderness.<br />

As part of the Graeme<br />

Dingle Foundation’s Project K<br />

programme, the students made<br />

their way back to school from<br />

the Lewis Pass by mountain biking<br />

and hiking, carrying enough<br />

gear and food supply for the<br />

journey.<br />

Losing their cellphones and<br />

contact with everyone and<br />

having to trust and rely on<br />

their 12 fellow participants for<br />

survival, was only the start of<br />

a journey for a group who had<br />

never experienced wilderness<br />

activities or living in the<br />

outdoors.<br />

While the weather was generally<br />

fine over the expedition, the<br />

group experienced morning<br />

frosts, mist and rain as their<br />

journey threw challenges such<br />

as the summitting of Mt Oxford,<br />

100km of mountain biking, caving<br />

and abseiling down a cliff.<br />

Jaleel Aratuara-Collins, a 2020<br />

Project K participant graduate<br />

shared her journey.<br />

“Last year I was an idiot,<br />

doing things that I shouldn’t be<br />

doing. I had little or no respect<br />

for anyone, making stupid<br />

decisions, physically hurting<br />

myself because I was trying<br />

to deal with things that I was<br />

struggling with,’’ she said.<br />

“Through my Project K journey,<br />

I learnt how to make friends<br />

with people outside my circle, to<br />

give people a chance, to grow as<br />

an individual and how to hone<br />

in on my team-building skills.<br />

“I learnt to become mentally<br />

stronger and I can now comfortably<br />

ask for help if I need it,’’<br />

Jaleel said.<br />

RUGGED: A<br />

group of year<br />

10 Hornby High<br />

School students<br />

have returned<br />

home after<br />

spending four<br />

days trekking<br />

through the<br />

Southern Alps. ​<br />

Project K was started by Sir<br />

Graeme Dingle in 1996 and has<br />

three components including<br />

the wilderness expedition, a<br />

community challenge and a oneon-one<br />

mentoring programme,<br />

all designed to build confidence,<br />

teach life skills and help find<br />

purpose and direction.<br />

The programme was<br />

introduced in Christchurch in<br />

2002.<br />

Series of guided<br />

walks to<br />

improve fitness<br />

PEOPLE ARE being encouraged<br />

to step up their fitness through a<br />

new series of guided walks that<br />

gradually move from a wetland<br />

wander to a more challenging hill<br />

climb.<br />

The Sport Canterbury-based<br />

Green Prescription team –<br />

together with the Adventure<br />

Specialties Trust – has designed<br />

four winter walks for “beginner<br />

explorers.”<br />

The first walk on <strong>May</strong> 20<br />

traverses Travis Wetland, with the<br />

series culminating with a walk to<br />

the top of the Port Hills on July 1.<br />

The other walks include a coastal<br />

walk from Spencer Park on June<br />

3 and along Mt Vernon Track on<br />

June 17.<br />

“There are four bush walks<br />

in the series and they start flat<br />

and progress, so that by the<br />

fourth walk, participants may be<br />

prepared for a gentle gradient,”<br />

Green Prescription team lead<br />

Abby Wilson said.<br />

“For some people, it may be<br />

their first time heading into the<br />

Port Hills.”<br />

The Green Prescription<br />

programme provides support and<br />

motivation for people wanting<br />

to increase or maintain their<br />

physical activity.<br />

bespoke, upscale & personalised care<br />

The reassurance of quality is built in to everything we do at The Russley Village. However, nowhere<br />

is the requirement for reassurance more important than within our new Ashley Suites Care Facility<br />

– setting new standards in care, comfort and security. Our highly appointed care suites offer private<br />

ensuite and a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave and refreshment making facilities –<br />

providing a sense of residence. This boutique facility is truly unique, and offers personalised rest home<br />

‘Council attack on public facilities in Riccarton’<br />

Central Riccarton<br />

Residents’<br />

Association secretary<br />

Garth Wilson talks<br />

about city council<br />

decisions<br />

In December 2020, staff<br />

sent a report to councillors<br />

drawing attention to the fact<br />

that Riccarton Rd is a key public<br />

transport corridor with over 800<br />

bus movements a day.<br />

As well as linking people to<br />

Riccarton as a destination, the<br />

bus lounges on Riccarton Rd<br />

are a key connecting hub on<br />

Environment Canterbury’s network<br />

linking passengers to other<br />

services.<br />

Only a matter of weeks later,<br />

city council staff recommended<br />

closing these lounges. Consultation<br />

was invited from interested<br />

residents to this proposal. But<br />

even before the proposal was<br />

opened to the public, staff had<br />

for months been trying to find<br />

businesses willing to sublease the<br />

lounges. The so-called consultation<br />

was nothing of the sort but<br />

just another nonsultation which<br />

this council has become notorious<br />

for.<br />

Nowhere in the bus lounges<br />

were notices placed advising users<br />

how they could make views<br />

felt on the proposed closures.<br />

The very mention of savings<br />

of $600,000pa was misleading<br />

because it was only ever<br />

$300,000pa that ratepayers were<br />

contributing to the lounge operating<br />

costs.<br />

Where are people waiting for<br />

a bus going to stand? There is no<br />

seating available and there will<br />

be considerable congestion with<br />

walkers, prams and e-scooters.<br />

This is yet another attack on<br />

public facilities in the central<br />

Riccarton area, the most densely<br />

populated in Christchurch with<br />

a density far exceeding the limit<br />

city council placed on medium<br />

density zones.<br />

Population has increased<br />

exponentially since the earthquakes<br />

so what does the council<br />

propose? Strip the area of its<br />

facilities, even though it suffers<br />

from high levels of deprivation.<br />

The city council wants to close<br />

the marvellous and brilliantly<br />

managed Wharenui Pool, shut<br />

down the Mobile Library Service<br />

(to all of Christchurch), close<br />

the bus lounges, and, of course,<br />

Riccarton has lost its authentic<br />

community centre to a building<br />

which is more like a branch of<br />

Hereford St.<br />

City council staff have still not<br />

SERVICES: Central Riccarton Residents’ Association secretary<br />

Garth Wilson says the Riccarton Rd bus lounges are a key<br />

connecting hub in Christchurch’s bus network.<br />

admitted their incompetence<br />

was to blame for the two months’<br />

hold-up on the Elizabeth St<br />

cycleway because they did not<br />

obtain archaeological consent<br />

from themselves.<br />

Because staff steadfastly (and<br />

arrogantly) refused to take account<br />

of overwhelming public<br />

sentiment in 2019 there are now<br />

many empty shops on Riccarton<br />

Rd.<br />

City council staff are desperately<br />

looking for ways they can<br />

cut expenditure. They will find<br />

the solution close to home. There<br />

is a bloated bureaucracy in council<br />

with many hundreds of staff<br />

on $100,000pa plus, the chief<br />

executive is paid more than the<br />

There is such an excess of<br />

“managers” that city council<br />

administration is unhealthily<br />

obese. It should employ local Kiwis<br />

instead of constantly importing<br />

staff from overseas because<br />

local Kiwis will listen to local<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

WESTERN NEWS<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 />

door and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />

Cinema owner is looking for successor<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

LANG MASTERS, long-time<br />

owner of the iconic Hollywood<br />

3 Cinema in Sumner, has turned<br />

90 and he’s still working seven<br />

days a week.<br />

If you stop by for a movie, you<br />

can see Lang with a big smile<br />

waiting behind the counter, usually<br />

during matinées.<br />

On April 30, friends, family,<br />

and work colleagues, old and<br />

new, gathered at Masters’ home<br />

to celebrate his birthday.<br />

He said he is still eating the<br />

leftovers from the three-tier film<br />

reel cake made especially for him.<br />

Lang has owned the cinema for<br />

more than 60 years. Hollywood<br />

Cinema was only open on Saturdays<br />

when Lang and his wife<br />

Maureen first took over in 1962.<br />

They painted and redecorated<br />

the 1938 building.<br />

Only now at 90, is he considering<br />

stepping down and is looking<br />

for someone to take over his<br />

share of the business.<br />

“It would be great if that person<br />

was interested in movies,”<br />

said Lang.<br />

“I would hate to see the theatre<br />

pulled down.”<br />

Even if it is sold. Lang said he<br />

would still pop in if they needed<br />

him.<br />

“I enjoy working here – it<br />

keeps you alive,” he said.<br />

Although Covid has resulted<br />

in a movie shortage, Lang said<br />

people have continued to support<br />

the theatre.<br />

“It would be great to see more<br />

visitors though.”<br />

Lang has been running<br />

theatres around the country<br />

since he was a teen. He attended<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />

and hosted movies on 16mm<br />

film for friends in his parent’s<br />

garage.<br />

In 1981, at the height of Lang<br />

and Maureen’s cinematic empire,<br />

they ran seven cinemas in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

‘A very enjoyable life’<br />

• From page 9<br />

“The hard part is making sure<br />

you pick the right films,” he said.<br />

“Here, we do better with arty films<br />

not blood-thirsty action films.”<br />

In 20<strong>13</strong>, Lang won a New<br />

Council award for service to the<br />

industry.<br />

The Hollywood Cinema first<br />

opened in 1938 and has been<br />

screening movies since then. A<br />

second screen was added in 1976<br />

and a third in 1999.<br />

people’s choice award for the<br />

best independent cinema at the<br />

New Zealand Motion Picture<br />

Awards.<br />

In his home on Scarborough<br />

Hill, Lang has his own theatre,<br />

where friends and family visit.<br />

Lang’s personal favourite genre<br />

is musicals – South Pacific, the<br />

Leaving a legacy after 43 years at Foodstuffs<br />

JOHN MULLINS will leave<br />

behind a legacy of innovation<br />

and change when he retires from<br />

Foodstuffs South Island after 43<br />

years.<br />

As general manager of supply<br />

chain, he oversaw the operation<br />

projects that provide customers<br />

with the experience they have<br />

with the Foodstuffs brands of<br />

today.<br />

Starting his Foodstuffs career<br />

as a management cadet back in<br />

1978 in Christchurch, Mullins<br />

worked in a range of roles training<br />

in areas of sales desk, warehouse<br />

operations, Cash‘N‘Carry,<br />

and general clerical duties.<br />

“Looking back on my time<br />

at Foodstuffs South Island, I<br />

was fortunate enough to be able<br />

to work in a variety of roles,<br />

upskilling and working my way<br />

around the business,” Mullins, of<br />

Fendalton, said.<br />

“In the 80s, I was given the<br />

opportunity to move into a shipping<br />

and purchasing role, later<br />

taking up the role of wholesale<br />

operations manager in 1985.<br />

“It was the number of different<br />

roles I took on in the 80s that has<br />

helped to shape my knowledge<br />

and understanding of how the<br />

business continues to operate so<br />

successfully today.”<br />

The end of the 1980s saw a<br />

merger between Foodstuffs<br />

Christchurch and Foodstuffs<br />

Otago, forming Foodstuffs South<br />

Island.<br />

For Mullins, this meant further<br />

opportunities as he moved<br />

into a new corporate executive<br />

role.<br />

“During my time at Foodstuffs<br />

Christchurch and later Foodstuffs<br />

South Island I’ve enjoyed<br />

watching the business transform,<br />

helping to integrate new systems,<br />

operations and technology<br />

throughout our supply chain,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It has been incredible seeing<br />

the business grow over the years<br />

with new retail stores, technology<br />

advancements, and larger<br />

premises for more capacity to<br />

store food for extended periods<br />

of time.”<br />

The year 2003 saw Mullins move<br />

into his role of general manager<br />

wholesale operations and procurement,<br />

and in 2010 he was given the<br />

role of general manager of supply<br />

chain and was appointed an adviser<br />

to the board.<br />

Said Foodstuffs South Island<br />

chief executive Steve Anderson:<br />

VARIETY: After<br />

43 years, supply<br />

chain general<br />

manager<br />

John Mullins<br />

is retiring from<br />

his crucial role<br />

at Foodstuffs<br />

South Island. ​<br />

“I’ve had the privilege of working<br />

with John over the past 20<br />

years and seen first-hand the<br />

instrumental role he played in<br />

developing and growing our supply<br />

chain.<br />

“Some highlights for me include<br />

John setting up our procurement<br />

and inventory systems, developing<br />

and launching our warehouse<br />

management system and its ongoing<br />

enhancements, not forgetting<br />

the many other projects he’s tackled<br />

over the years.”<br />

Over the last couple of decades,<br />

highlights for Mullins include<br />

the opening of the Hornby<br />

chilled and frozen distribution<br />

centre in 2000, the opening of<br />

the Hornby ambient DC in 2007<br />

and further expansion in 2014,<br />

and the launch of Foodstuffs<br />

South Island’s transport company,<br />

to name a few.<br />

Last year he oversaw the<br />

opening of the new Hornby<br />

temperature-controlled DC to<br />

name a few.<br />

The opening was a highlight<br />

for Mullins as it upscaled Foodstuffs’<br />

operations with their new<br />

world-class chilled and frozen<br />

distribution centre.<br />

This meant they were able to<br />

increase the volume, range of<br />

product and services required<br />

for them to continue feeding the<br />

South Island.<br />

The building and opening of<br />

the new DC was a massive project<br />

which created over 100 additional<br />

jobs and meant upscaling<br />

operations to provide deliveries<br />

to our retail stores seven days a<br />

week.<br />

Although the everyday sounds<br />

of forklifts whirling and trucks<br />

reversing will become but a thing<br />

of the past, upon retirement,<br />

Mullins looks forward to<br />

continuing his outdoor pursuits,<br />

giving back to the community<br />

with local governance roles and<br />

spending time with his family.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />

Specialised machines used to<br />

identify auto electrical problems<br />

Auto electricAl specialists, roses<br />

Auto electrical, are experts in repairing<br />

and maintaining all aspects of the<br />

electrical and electronic componentry<br />

found in today’s highly sophisticated<br />

commercial and passenger vehicles.<br />

Their cranford Street workshop<br />

boasts a suite of highly specialised<br />

diagnostic machines, which enable the<br />

team to quickly identify any electrical or<br />

electronic problems in most makes and<br />

models of vehicle and repair them, saving<br />

time for the technicians and cost for the<br />

electronic faults in european vehicles.<br />

The machine’s digital interface interacts<br />

with the vehicle’s active components,<br />

programming and coding. Depending<br />

on the model of the vehicle, it reads<br />

and clears all Diagnostic trouble codes<br />

(Dtcs) to identify the faults. it also<br />

reads live vehicle data such as engine<br />

temperature, engine speed, vehicle<br />

speed and suspension height data. Plus,<br />

roses Auto electrical have the back-up a<br />

worldwide european support base.<br />

The Autologic european Diagnostics<br />

machine covers vehicles from 1995<br />

onwards, so for owners of out-of-warranty<br />

european vehicles, it ensures all their<br />

auto-electrical repair and replacement<br />

needs can be ascertained and catered for.<br />

Public Notice<br />

Notice for consultation on a proposed Enrolment<br />

Scheme amendment – Halswell School<br />

The Ministry of Education has identified that Halswell School is likely to be<br />

overcrowded and has given the school board notice of this.<br />

After consultation with the board, we have developed a proposed enrolment<br />

scheme amendment for Halswell School under section 72 of the Education and<br />

Training Act 2020.<br />

As part of this process, we are consulting with the school’s community and with<br />

people living in the area for which the school is a reasonably convenient school.<br />

Under this scheme, students will be enrolled if they live within the proposed<br />

home zone. The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the<br />

provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020.<br />

A copy of the proposed enrolment scheme amendment is available at<br />

https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/halswell-school-enrolmentscheme-amendment<br />

If you have any feedback about the proposed enrolment scheme amendment,<br />

please visit the website, read the information and complete the survey before<br />
