Call for green arrow on traffic 

lights at Hornby intersection 

• By Fiona Ellis 

THE DIFFICULTY of turning 

right at a Hornby intersection has 

driven 100 people to comment on 

the issue in an online discussion. 

The topic of turning from 

Amyes Rd onto Shands Rd was 

raised by the Greater Hornby 

Residents Association in a post 

on its Facebook page seeking to 

gauge community opinion. 

Association chairman Marc 

Duff said the high level of engagement 

meant the issue would be 

taken further. 

“Anything over 100 we consider 

quite serious,” Duff said. 

The association would raise the 

issue at a meeting on Sunday. 

Depending on the outcome, 

it was then likely to be raised at 

the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board meeting on 

Tuesday and with Hornby Ward 

councillor Jimmy Chen. 

“I would strongly suggest they’ll 

take it forward.” 

The intersection was not the 

only one in the area commuters 

struggled with, he said. 

“The feedback is it’s part of a 

wider problem.” 

Fixing the problem would 

take time, but the Shands Rd 

intersection should take priority.

Chance to guide visitors around 

gardens a privilege for volunteer 

VOLUNTEERING at the 

Botanic Gardens has been a 

chance to branch out for 

Susan Lawrence. 

The Bryndwr 72-year-old 

began guiding visitors at the 

gardens in 2012. 

Volunteer guides – all 

members of the Friends of the 

Botanic Gardens – run free 

walks in different parts of the 

Botanic Gardens each day 

between October and April. 

“I find being a volunteer 

guide incredibly rewarding,’’ 

said Susan. 

“It has provided me with an 

opportunity to learn and grow 

in my knowledge of plants. I 

cringe sometimes when I think 

of how little I knew at the start.’’ 

She led two or three walks a 

month, co-ordinated the team of 

volunteer guides, and served on 

the committee of the Friends of 

the Botanic Gardens. 

“Being part of a team 

is fulfilling – we are very 

supportive of one another and 

each one brings his or her own 

skills to the task, and we learn 

from each other.” 

“Having the opportunity 

to share our knowledge and 

stories with the public is a great 

privilege, whether they are 

locals or tourists. 

“Locals are often surprised at 

how much of the gardens they 

are unfamiliar with.” 

Mrs Lawrence says engaging 

with the public on the tours 

is a two-way experience and 

the guides often come away 

having learned a thing or two 

themselves. 

“Above all it is a great 

privilege to give out to others 

– our lives are enriched in the 

process.’’ 

She estimated she spent about 

30 hours a month working on a 

voluntary basis for the Friends 

of the Botanic Gardens, which 

exist to support and promote the 

work of the gardens. 

Funds raised provide education 

and travel opportunities for 

gardens’ staff, apprenticeships 

and annual library grants 

amongst other things.

MP says 

hello 


ILAM MP Sarah Pallett has paid 

her first visit to the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board since 

her election last October. 

A timetable clash usually prevented 

her from 

attending the 

board’s meetings, 

she said. 

Most of her 

electorate lay 

outside the 

Sarah Pallett 

board’s area. 

However, she 

encouraged 

board members to reach out with 

feedback or requests for help. 

“Regard this as a hello and a 

commitment to continue to work 

together as much as we can.” 

Community board member 

Pauline Cotter said: “For community 

boards, it’s very important to 

have dialogues with MPs.” 

Pallett first met with the main 

community board in her area in 

late March. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board chairwoman 

Bridget Williams said: 

“She has come and presented to 

us at least twice now.” 

She was pleased with Pallett’s 

engagement with the board.

Dad and daughter team 

up to take down graffiti 

REMOVING graffiti 

from their Spreydon 

neighbourhood has become 

a family affair for a father 

and daughter. 

Ben and Nevaeh Mc- 

Callum volunteered for 

the Off the Wall graffiti 

programme, run by the city 

council, in 2017 after seeing 

a brochure about it at their 

local library. 

Nevaeh was only seven at 

the time, but Ben wanted 

her to have a strong work 

ethic and felt getting rid of 

• From page 1 

The intersection needed 

a green arrow to give rightturning 

traffic the chance 

to flow forward, he said. 

“It’s not unusual to sit 

for nine, or 10, or 11 

changes.” 

The intersection had 

been a concern for the 

association since it was 

formed three years ago. 

“It’s only [got] a red 

arrow to be used when 

pedestrians are crossing” 

Safety was a concern, 

especially when the traffic 

backed up past South 

Hornby School. 

City council data from 

graffiti was a worthwhile 

task to tackle together. 

“At the time there was a 

lot of graffiti along the front 

of our shops so we decided 

to get active with that,” Ben 

said. 

As part of the Off the 

Wall graffiti programme, 

they help paint over graffiti 

in their neighbourhood. 

They’re also ‘tag-spotters’, 

who report graffiti to the 

council when they see it. It 

has been a fun experience 

for Nevaeh, which has come 

August 15, 2018, showed 

that on that day, 12,654 cars 

went through the intersection 

between 7am and 6pm. 

Of these, 1216 made the 

right turn from Amyes Rd 

onto Shands Rd. 

Between January 1, 2018, 

and January 1, 2021, seven 

crashes occurred at the 

intersection, one of which 

resulted in a minor injury. 

with an added bonus many 

other kids will relate to. 

“It gets me away from my 

brother,” she said. 

Ben doesn’t know many 

other people in his age 

group who volunteer and 

worries it is a dying art. 

He said more people 

should give volunteering 

a go. 

“Definitely give it a go. 

You’ve got nothing to lose. 

If it’s not for you, it’s not for 

you. But you won’t know 

until you give it a go.”

Paulette Stickley commented 

on the association’s 

post, calling the intersection 

a nuisance. 

“Definitely turn arrows 

would be great,” she said. 

Gaylene Leadley also said 

a turn arrow was needed. 

“The lights at that 

intersection need sorting 

out . . . another really bad 

one is coming out of Mitre

she found it quicker to

“It can be such a long

other way,” she said. 

LIPOMAS 

A Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal 

tumour comprised of “mature adipocytes” 

(namely fat cells). Lipomas are very 

common in the dog, rarely in the cat. 

Believe it or not I have several small 

lipomas on my arms that cause no issue. 

They are often picked up in a routine visit, 

are non-painful, soft, moveable and slow 

growing. Breeds at risk are the Labrador, 

Retriever, Doberman, Spaniel and Beagle. 

No one knows why they pop up and they 

are classified into three groups – 

• Simple lipoma – a benign, slow growing 

mass that expands rather than invades. 

They can get really huge. They are usually 

encapsulated and easy to surgically shell 

out. They are most commonly seen within 

the fat tissue on the trunk and limbs. Very 

occasionally they can be found in the 

chest and abdomen. Depending on where 

they are they can impede movement 

causing abnormal gaits and neurological 

deficits may be noticed. 

• Infiltrative lipoma – These are locally 

aggressive, invasive and can disrupt the 

surrounding tissues. These have been 

known to cause spinal cord compression. 

• Myelolipoma – These are benign and can 

commonly occur on the spleen, adrenal 

glands and liver. We rarely see these. 

Diagnosis is made by fine needle 

aspiration cytology, radiographs and 

ultrasound (especially of lipomas in the 

thorax and abdomen or those inbetween 

muscle planes). Cytology of the mass can 

be done while you wait. 

Most lipomas require NO specific therapy. 

We usually only suggest surgical removal 

if they are impeding motion or function or 

in an area that irritates the dog. Surgery is 

usually straight forward and it helps having 

cautery for the large tumour removals as 

they have a decent blood supply. Often 

suction drains are inserted due to all the 

dead space left and blood tends to want 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

to pool there. Complications of surgery 

can be delayed wound healing, seromas 

forming or occasionally nerve damage if 

the lipoma is deep. 

Recently we had a referral to give our 

opinion on lipoma surgery for a 12 year 

old Labrador called “Tess”. She’s had a 

multitude of lipomas (diagnosed via 

cytology) for years but some have started 

growing quickly, causing her severe 

mobility issues. Kirsty initially saw Tess 

and thought she could make a difference 

surgically to her quality of life and mobility. 

One large lipoma had extended down the 

right side of her chest and into her axilla 

(armpit), impinging on nerves affecting 

limb placement. She kept throwing this leg 

outward. 

Tess was a trouper under her anaesthetic 

and has recovered well. The surgery took 

nearly two hours and required lots of 

sutures and drains to close large wounds. 

Six lipoma masses were removed, the 

largest weighing in at 1.6kg. She should 

hopefully find it easier to walk now. Tess 

was discharged on good pain medications, 

weight loss diet and a recommendation 

for Physio to help her mobilise quicker and 

improve muscle strength. She was a gentle 

old soul to treat and we hope we have 

made a difference to her quality of life.

Success for teen problem-solver 

Student 

absorbs 

pressure in 

international 

competition 


THE PRESSURE was on for 

Riccarton High School student 

Hugh Ryan as three-and-a-half 

months of preparation boiled 

down to just two vital hours. 

However, the 14-yearold 

pulled through to place 

second in his division at the 

international global issues 

problem solving competition this 

month. 

“Everything I’d worked for 

came up to that moment,” Hugh 

said. 

“I got quite nervous a couple of 

days before the competition.” 

Of the 50 competitors to take 

part in the competition’s middle 

individual division, he was one 

of just three from New Zealand. 

To qualify for the competition, 

he had to do well at first 

the regional, then national, 

competitions. 

Neurotechnology was 

announced as the topic of the 

competition in late February, 

giving competitors time to 

research the topic. 

For the competition, he 

then had a specific scenario to 

solve – in the year 2045, brain 

implants are improving life in all 

kinds of ways, but not without 

drawbacks. 

“THere were all these side 

effects that were going to be a 

problem. 

“My winning solution was to 

use brain-scan technology to 

target a specific problem.” 

Normally the competition was 

held in the United States, Hugh 

said. 

“It was online, sadly. 

“I would’ve had the 

opportunity to go to the 

University of Massachusetts.” 

Going digital came with its

own problems. 

He had to re-write a part of 

his answer after it vanished into 

cyberspace. 

However, the organisers 

gave him some extra time to 

compensate for the glitch, he 

said. 

“Overall it was fun, and really 

interesting.” 

Future problem solving was 

a long-time interest of his, and 

he had competed in the junior 

division of the competition 

before, he said. 

He liked thinking about future 

scenarios because they dealt with 

important issues. 

“It’s so much about the future 

that will affect me and my 

generation, and society as a 

whole.” 

After the competition, 

winning results were announced 

backwards. 

As he learned someone else had 

come sixth, then fifth, then fourth, 

it seemed less and less likely that 

he had placed, Hugh said. 

He was pleased with his 

result and was keen enter the 

competition again next year. 

School librarian Sally Blake 

said she and teacher Jack Gibson 

were forming a non-competitive 

future problem solving group in 

the wake of Hugh’s achievement. 

“We were interested in 

introducing [it] to Riccarton 

High due to Hugh’s involvement 

and success,” she said. 

“[We are] looking forward to 

putting Hugh’s exceptional skills 

to work.” 

THe two other New Zealand 

competitors in his division, 

who did not place, were James 

Anthony of St Andrew’s College, 

and Daniel Zheng of Westlake 

Boys’ High School, Auckland. 

SAFER SPEED REVIEW 

Christchurch to Akaroa 

Have your say on safer speeds 

Speed on impact determines if the people in a crash are 

killed, injured or walk away unharmed. 

Through Road to Zero – New Zealand’s road safety 

strategy – we’re working towards a future where no-one 

is killed or seriously injured on our roads. 

Christchurch to Akaroa is Canterbury’s highest-risk route 

– in terms of personal safety – and in New Zealand’s 

top 10% where we can make the greatest difference in 

reducing road deaths and serious injuries.

Exploring Musgroves 

It is fascinating exploring 

Musgrove’s sheds where 

there’s a huge variety of recycled 

and new building products for 

sale. They have sheds of timber 

(including flooring) and a whole 

area dedicated to roofing iron. 

There are windows and doors 

galore plus they have insulation 

and even complete kitchens. 

You’ll find some neat stories and 

project examples on their website 

of what some of their customers 

have created, but until you’ve 

paid them a visit, you won’t 

be able to fully appreciate this 

amazing place. It is so well laid 

out; their staff are great to deal 

with and they’re local.



Former Olympian still has the competitive spirit 

THE OLYMPIC spirit still shines 

brightly with John Abrams. 

John, a New Zealand hockey 

team member from the 1956 

Melbourne and 1960 Rome 

Olympic Games, remembers 

close matches and physical 

tussles, as the team played its 

heart out from the get-go. 

John and New Zealand team 

made their Olympic debuts in 

Melbourne. 

He recalls the Australian adventures, 

as he sits alongside his 

wife Dawn – both residents of 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village 

in Mairehau. 

Now, John is looking forward 

to his next Olympics adventure. 

Ryman Healthcare is bringing 

together 12,500 residents across 

41 villages in New Zealand and 

Australia to compete in the 

world’s first international retirement 

village Olympic Games. 

The residents will be competing 

in cycling, swimming, bowls, 

a 21.6km team walking relay and 

Quiznastics (gymnastics for the 

brain). 

Back in 1956, John and other 

Kiwi games athletes were invited, 

and went, to social events hosted 

by gracious Melburnians. 

“Even if you were wandering 

around outside the village, a car 

would pull up and they would 

say: ‘Hey you guys, we’re having 

MEMORIES: John Abrams, who played at right fullback in 

Canterbury and New Zealand hockey teams. 

a barbie tonight, would you like 

to join us?’ ” John said. 

Times at the games were different 

back then, and security settings 

were much lower. In 1960 

John was able to watch, trackside, 

the performance of Kiwi 

medal winners including Barry 

Magee, Peter Snell and Murray 

Halberg. 

As well as these memories, 

John and Dawn have plenty of 

Olympic memorabilia on their 

walls in their independent apartment 

at the village. 

John’s historic collection 

includes photos, an Olympic 

tie and an Olympic blazer from 

Rome. 

The items date back to the 

games and more recently to 

get-togethers. As Olympians he 

and others were honoured by the 

Christchurch High School Old 

Boys with names inscribed on 

a sports shirt. His shirt is now 

framed and mounted on the 

wall. 

Both Woolston Primary 

School, CBHS and later 

Woolston Hockey Club were 

proving grounds for John and 

others. His schoolmates Noel 

Hobson and Ross Gillespie (who 

later coached the Kiwi 1976 gold 

medal-winning team) played 

together in 1960. 

Provincial and national representation 

followed, then John 

says that he and his family had to 

listen to a 6pm radio broadcast 

to find if he was included in the 

team for Melbourne. 

The departure for Melbourne 

was quite a ruckus. His father, 

Dawn and young daughter, 

Nicola, saw him off only to 

discover the car keys (to get 

home) were in John’s pocket and 

on the plane. They were eventually 

tossed down by the pilot to 

ground level before the aircraft 

took off. 

In Melbourne the team finished 

in sixth place just behind 

Australia. 

The Rome Games were longhaul 

in terms of travel, with the 

hockey players ending in fifth 

place this time after beating Australia 

in the final match. 

John says the team were very 

close to contending for a medal, 

but lost 1-0 in a thrilling quarterfinal 

against Spain. The score 

could have been reversed; he 

says. 

“We had a penalty corner and 

the ball was definitely going into 

the net, and it hit one of their 

defenders in the jaw and went 

out,” John said. 

“A few minutes after that, they 

scored, and then it was fulltime.” 

The team was consigned to 

the sidelines. “(But) one of the 

marvellous things, then and in 

Rome, the competitors had a reserve 

stand at the main stadium,” 

John said. 

John got to sit beside athletics 

coach Arthur Lydiard in the 

Rome stadium to see the arrival 

of the marathon athletes including 

Barry Magee (now a Ryman 

resident at Murray Halberg) who 

finished with a bronze medal. 

“It was a fabulous effort,” he 

said. 

In Rome, he watched Peter 

Snell and Murray Halberg’s gold 

medal performances. 

Snell, in fact, spent a lot of 

time at the dining table with 

the hockey team, knowing well 

the Auckland team members 

having played hockey against 

them. 

Years later John, a trained 

lifesaver, found Snell cramping 

in the water at Tahunanui Beach 

near Nelson. He pulled him to 

safety, with Snell forever grateful. 

Both John and Dawn are 

looking forward to the Tokyo 

summer Olympics and Ryman’s 

version of the games.

Vaccinations for 

the rest of Aotearoa 

New Zealand 

The COVID-19 vaccination rollout for the general population 

starts from the end of July. 

Our COVID-19 vaccination programme has built momentum 

steadily since February. We are vaccinating around 100,000 

people a week at the moment. In the second half of the year 

we hit top speed and everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and 

over will be able to be vaccinated. 

Moving to the general population 

So far, vaccinations have been made available to those most at 

risk of getting COVID-19 to limit the chances of it getting into the 

wider population. 

With more vaccine supply coming on, and having ramped up our 

infrastructure, vaccinations for everyone else in New Zealand 

aged 16 and over (the general population) start from 28 July. 

This is a very large group of people. To make this flow smoothly, 

we will break this down by age bands. 

All people aged 60 plus can book their vaccinations from 28 July. 

Then, two weeks later, people who are 55 plus. From there, new 

age bands will be opened up every 2–3 weeks based on confirmed 

deliveries of the vaccine and the speed of rollout to earlier groups. 

By mid to late August, invitations should be open for people over 

45. By mid to late September, invitations should be open for those 

over 35, with everyone else being eligible from October. 

Invitations 

Most people will get a direct invitation to book – either by email, 

text, phone call or in the post. You will then be able to book through 

Book My Vaccine, a new national booking system that will be online 

from 28 July, or phone a new national call centre. Availability of 

booking slots (the date, time and place you can be vaccinated) 

will vary between district health board (DHB) regions. 

Once you are eligible to be vaccinated, you can be vaccinated 

at any time. There is no cut off. 

Registration 

Even if your age band isn’t open, everyone aged 16 and over will 

be able to go to Book My Vaccine to register for an invitation from 

28 July. Registration means we will be certain to have your correct 

contact details and when your age group is opened, you will get an 

invitation telling you it’s your turn to book. 

Getting a vaccination 

Step 1 

Step 2 

Step 3 

Receiving an invitation 

We’ll call or send you an email, text or letter to invite 

you to book. 

Make your booking 

From 28 July, go to Book My Vaccine or call the new 

national call centre to book both doses, or to register 

if your age band isn’t open yet. 

Get your vaccination 

Have your first vaccination dose. 

3–6 weeks later have your second vaccination dose. 

If you don’t hear from us, or are concerned, you can register 

for your vaccination through the new national Book My Vaccine 

booking system at any time from 28 July. 

Important dates 

28 July People 60+ Vaccinations open 

11 August People 55+ Vaccinations open 

Mid to late Aug People 45 + Invitations should open 

Mid to late Sept People 35+ Invitations should open 

October People 16+ Invitations should open 

Other ways to get vaccinated 

As we go through the year there will be other ways for people 

to be vaccinated. These will include workplace vaccinations and 

other targeted vaccination events across the country. For some 

remote rural communities we will vaccinate all age groups at the 

same time to make it easier for them. Our successful whānaucentred 

approach to vaccinations will continue for Māori and 

Pacific communities and those with disabilities.
