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 />

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 />
communities who know what is<br />
best for their area and respect the<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 />

• 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 />

industry.<br />

opened in 1938 and has been<br />

second screen was added in 1976<br />
and a third in 1999.<br />
In 2014, the cinema won the<br />

best independent cinema at the<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 />

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 />

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 />

of incredible sellers, buyers, investors and<br />
tenants we have had the opportunity to assist<br />
this year – we thank you for your support and<br />

remind us that in doing great business, we’ve<br />
had the incredible opportunity to support<br />
others in their endeavours to make our<br />
