Perfect partners highlight Pawgust<br />
PAWGUST: Dan Shepherd and his guide dog Ezra help<br />
raise awareness for Blind Low Vision NZ guide dogs.<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
DAN SHEPHERD would not be<br />
here today if it were not for his<br />
perfect match, Ezra, the guide<br />
dog who saved his life.<br />
Shepherd welcomed Ezra, a<br />
labrador retriever cross, into his<br />
family in October 2021. Within<br />
the first two weeks of having<br />
him, Ezra saved Shepherd’s life<br />
as a woman backed out of her<br />
driveway quite fast – and Ezra<br />
decided they were not going to<br />
walk any further and put on the<br />
brakes.<br />
“We stopped and suddenly her<br />
car was right in front of me. If I<br />
was still using my white cane, she<br />
would have killed me or at least<br />
pushed me onto the footpath.<br />
Ezra finds and gets what I need. I<br />
trust him.”<br />
Shepherd was diagnosed with<br />
Retinitis Pigmentosa when he<br />
was 15-years-old and reached out<br />
to Blind Low Vision NZ for help.<br />
“The condition has taken<br />
away my peripheral vision and I<br />
previously accessed the orientation<br />
and mobility service for my<br />
white cane use, and I was put<br />
on a waitlist for a guide dog,” he<br />
said.<br />
Shepherd said he waited 19<br />
years to reach out for help, as<br />
when he was diagnosed as a<br />
teenager it was a lot to process<br />
and it took him awhile to become<br />
comfortable and accept being<br />
identified with a disability.<br />
“It was a process for me to<br />
be happy being identified as a<br />
person with a disability. I have<br />
two boys, aged seven and four,<br />
and it was when the eldest was<br />
about two-and-a-half that he<br />
was becoming more mobile and<br />
wanted his dad to be active in his<br />
life. That was my motivation, to<br />
be a part of their lives.”<br />
Shepherd said working with<br />
Ezra is freeing as he can trust<br />
him to make the best decisions<br />
for both of them, unlike with the<br />
white cane he was using before<br />
where he had to process the information<br />
it was giving him and<br />
make decisions from that.<br />
“He is the perfect match. It is<br />
that feeling of freedom. For the<br />
first time I was able to walk at my<br />
own pace, I got matched with a<br />
dog who helps bring awareness.<br />
He has confidence in new places<br />
which in turn gives me confidence<br />
to do new things, that is a<br />
real important part for me.”<br />
Shepherd works at Blind Low<br />
Vision NZ as the head of access<br />
and awareness, and said there<br />
was a three-year wait before he<br />
was matched with Ezra as the<br />
matching process was quite<br />
intense.<br />
“My walking speed was<br />
tracked so Ezra is matched to<br />
my walking speed, I am a bigger<br />
guy so I needed a bigger dog who<br />
would be able to stop me from<br />
walking when necessary.<br />
“I also travel for work so Ezra<br />
is good in new places and likes<br />
meeting new people.”<br />
He said it takes about $100,000<br />
to train a guide dog, which is one<br />
of the main challenges.<br />
“It is why we need campaigns<br />
Pawgust to put dogs in the community.<br />
The dogs go through a<br />
19-week training programme<br />
before a final test which only two<br />
out of six dogs’ pass. This is why<br />
we need more funding to breed<br />
more dogs who will be successful.”<br />
Pawgust involves people and<br />
their pets walking or running<br />
during the month of <strong>August</strong> to<br />
help raise vital funds for Blind<br />
Low Vision NZ guide dogs.<br />

Tamai Sports removing<br />
JOINING A LOCAL sports team<br />
or club can be a life-changing<br />
experience for children. It sets<br />
them up with healthy habits from<br />
a young age.<br />
But many are not getting<br />
that experience, with declining<br />
participation rates and barriers<br />
that prevent young people from<br />
engaging in sports.<br />
Tamai Sports is bucking that<br />
trend by improving access to<br />
sports alongside inclusive and<br />
culturally-centred opportunities.<br />
Using sport as the vehicle for<br />
participation, the unique not-forprofit<br />
organisation adopts Māori<br />
and Pasifika values to nurture<br />
cultural identity and diversity in<br />
its programmes, building trusted<br />
relationships with whānau and<br />
the community.<br />
Tamai supports tamariki<br />
aged 8-12 who are selected to<br />
participate from the Tamai<br />
learning cluster of seven schools:<br />
Te Waka Unua, Linwood Avenue,<br />
Whītau School, Tamariki, Te<br />
Aratai College, Ngutuawa School<br />
and Bromley.<br />
Programme director Ben<br />
Hamilton said Tamai had been<br />
born out of community need.<br />
“Through extensive<br />
TEAM WORK: Programme director Ben Hamilton leads<br />
Kiana, AJ, Tara-Louise and others in team-building.<br />
research and our work with<br />
the community, we have<br />
identified four key barriers<br />
to participation that we are<br />
committed to removing. These<br />
include transport, uniforms and<br />
equipment, food, and access to<br />
coaches or positive mentors,” he<br />
said.<br />
The programme is delivered<br />
on Tuesday afternoons, with<br />
children transported to Linfield<br />
Park where they are provided<br />
afternoon tea and take part in the<br />
cultural and hauora programme,<br />
delivered in partnership with He<br />
Waka Tapu. The programme’s<br />
focuses include waiata/kapa<br />
haka, cultural identity, wellbeing,<br />
goal planning, keeping<br />
your tinana well, healthy kai,<br />
mindfulness and mau rākau<br />
(Māori martial arts).<br />
Following these sessions,<br />
tamariki receive a 45-minute<br />
sports coaching session in either<br />
rugby, football, touch, cricket or<br />
netball and share nutritious kai.<br />
“Teams then compete in<br />
the relevant Saturday sports<br />
competitions against other<br />
clubs,” said Hamilton.<br />
“Our goal is to see tamariki<br />
transition into Linwood Rugby<br />
Club or Coastal Spirit Football<br />
Club following their three years<br />
with Tamai Sports. We work<br />
closely with clubs to strengthen<br />
the pathway for tamariki and<br />
their whānau.”<br />
A 2022 impact evaluation<br />
report from Ihi Research found<br />
Tamai has been able to effectively<br />
mitigate participation barriers<br />
in several ways, including;<br />
proactively addressing barriers<br />
to participation, providing<br />
excellent role models, utilising<br />
sport as a vehicle for modelling<br />
and teaching life skills, and<br />
responding to the cultures of<br />
tamariki and whānau who<br />
attend. The research was<br />
conducted through a kaupapa<br />
Māori lens.<br />
Ihi chief executive John<br />
Leonard said the response from<br />
whānau about the programme’s<br />
impact was overwhelmingly<br />
positive.<br />
“Whānau interviewed for our<br />
evaluation were unanimously<br />
GOAL:<br />
Hemi (back,<br />
far left), Te<br />
Ranginui,<br />
Kiana and<br />
Tara-Louise<br />
participating<br />
in one of<br />
many ball<br />
games.<br />
positive about the impact Tamai<br />
Sports has had on their tamariki.<br />
“They spoke about increased<br />
confidence, enhanced mana<br />
and self-esteem, improved<br />
self-management skills, greater<br />
positivity, increased physical<br />
activity, and improved attitude<br />
and attendance at school.<br />
“Whānau also conveyed their<br />
appreciation of the whānaucentred<br />
nature of Tamai Sports,<br />
noting they felt valued and<br />
included.”<br />
During the 2022 winter<br />
season, more than 50 per cent of<br />
participants in the programme<br />
identified as Māori or Pasifika,<br />
with that number in <strong>2023</strong> now<br />
close to 62 per cent. Participation<br />
of boys and girls is relatively<br />
even, with the number of girls<br />
slightly higher (51.1 per cent)<br />

than that of boys (48.9 per cent).<br />
This winter season, they had enough<br />
registrations for two rugby teams, two<br />
football teams and three netball teams,<br />
and the success of the programme has also<br />
allowed Tamai to grow its partnerships<br />
with other community organisations in<br />
the Tamai Learning Cluster.<br />
He Waka Tapu chief operating officer<br />
Tanith Petersen said their partnership<br />
with Tamai aims to provide young people<br />
with skills and experiences to set them up<br />
for the future.<br />
“He Waka Tapu is all about supporting<br />
tamariki through Tamai Sports, helping<br />
them embrace tikanga and nurture their<br />
cultural identity,” Petersern said.<br />
Looking ahead, Tamai is expanding its<br />
nutrition programme, providing healthy<br />
meals to 80 tamariki following their sports<br />
training for the 16-week programme. A<br />
cookbook for participating whānau is<br />
underway, and there are plans for a new<br />
‘teach tamariki to cook’ initiative, which<br />
will see them help chefs prepare their<br />
weekly meals.<br />
South Island funder Rātā Foundation<br />
and other significant funders like Te<br />
Pūtahitanga have supported Tamai Sports<br />
for the last three years. Tamai’s work to<br />
strengthen the hauora of tamariki by<br />
removing barriers to accessing training or<br />
games and designing a programme that is<br />
accessible and culturally appropriate aligns<br />
with the Rātā funding focus priority to<br />
provide equitable access to participation<br />

PATELLA SURGERY<br />
Recently I have had the opportunity<br />
to learn a technique for patella<br />
luxation in dogs, under the guidance<br />
of Specialist Surgeon, Dr Helen Milner.<br />
Helen worked as a specialist surgeon<br />
at MMH a few years ago so we have a<br />
very good working relationship. Helen<br />
is now primarily working alongside<br />
veterinarians as a surgical coach so I<br />
thought it would be as good time for<br />
myself and a colleague to learn a new<br />
technique so we can offer our patients<br />
more when it comes to patella luxations.<br />
Essentially patella luxation is a<br />
dislocation of the kneecap either<br />
medially or laterally to the trochlear<br />
groove. Luxations can be medial or<br />
lateral. Medial patella luxation ( MPL) is<br />
relatively common in small breed dogs.<br />
Breeds most at risk of MPL are Poodles,<br />
Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Yorkies,<br />
Bichon Frise and Retrievers. The disease<br />
can be bilateral. It is considered an<br />
inherited, developmental disease, that<br />
starts early on in life. Some dogs with<br />
MPL will rupture their cranial cruciate<br />
ligament necessitating repair. MPL<br />
also predisposes dogs to developing<br />
degenerative joint disease.<br />
Charlie, a 3 year old Chihuahua was the<br />
patient I selected for the surgery. Charlie<br />
has a grade 2-3 patella luxation, meaning<br />
the patella mostly pops out medially<br />
with each stride, but can slide back into<br />
place. Charlie is difficult to assess awake<br />
as he’s not a fan of vets in general, not<br />
just me. We needed to perform sedation<br />
and radiographs to really evaluate<br />
the stifle and decide if he was a good<br />
candidate for surgery. He often lifts the<br />
left hindleg when standing or running,<br />
skips and double jumps on the left side.<br />
Most days the owners reported he lifted<br />
the left hind leg. Charlie is otherwise<br />
extremely healthy.<br />
Patella luxations are graded 1-4 based<br />
on the severity of disease. Once the<br />
animal is relaxed and sedated the patella<br />
can be manually assessed and graded.<br />
The anterior cruciate ligament can be<br />
palpated. Radiographs are important<br />
as we can see if there is pathology or<br />
osteoarthritis in any other joints, which<br />
may contribute to surgical success.<br />
Surgical correction was considered the<br />
right approach for Charlie based on his<br />
MPL grade and frequent lameness and<br />
daily pain exhibited. The main goal was<br />
to realign the stifle extensor apparatus<br />
and normalise forces acting on growth<br />
plates and joint surfaces. We wanted him<br />
to be able to run on all 4’s, without pain<br />
or lameness, enjoying his life to the full.<br />
A “Tibial Tuberosity Transposition” ( TTT)<br />
surgery was planned for Charlie to move<br />
the patella tendon over, realigning the<br />
quadriceps muscle through the centre of<br />
the trochlear groove. Helen is an expert<br />
here and you can observe from the X-ray<br />
attached, that a section of cranial tibia<br />
was sawn off and repositioned laterally<br />
with the help of pins and a figure of 8<br />
wire. After completion of this technique,<br />
the patella couldn’t be subluxated out<br />
of position. Some soft tissue suture<br />
patterns were also employed to help<br />
keep the patella in its correct position -<br />
the trochlear groove.<br />
A large padded bandage was placed<br />
on Charlies leg for 48 hours, to help<br />
provide stability, stop licking of the<br />
suture line and help with pain. He was<br />
discharged with excellent pain and anti<br />
inflammatory medications and exercise<br />
instructions. Activity is restricted for<br />
6-8 weeks following surgery, but physio<br />
and hydrotherapy can be started after<br />
the sutures are removed. Radiographs<br />
need to be repeated at the 8 week mark<br />
to make sure the osteotomy site has<br />
healed, then exercise can be adjusted<br />
accordingly.<br />
All in all it was a procedure that we<br />
want to be able to offer at McMaster &<br />
Heap vets. We have all the orthopaedic<br />
equipment and the perfect surgical<br />
coach to teach a couple of keen vets<br />
(one young and one a senior!) that want<br />
to learn a new technique that will benefit<br />
many of our patients in the future.<br />

Scientist<br />
worried<br />
about<br />
swimming<br />
spots<br />
PEOPLE ARE being urged to<br />
think twice about what’s going<br />
down their drains ahead of the<br />
summer swimming season.<br />
Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />
Harbour swimming bays were<br />
deemed unfit for swimming<br />
last summer, partly due to<br />
contaminated storm water.<br />
Recent testing of 50<br />
Christchurch sites found all<br />
failed at least one of the bacterial,<br />
heavy metals or sediment<br />
standards, Environment<br />
Canterbury’s surface water<br />
science manager Dr Elaine<br />
Moriarty said.<br />
“A lot of people don’t realise<br />
that what falls on our streets and<br />
our roads and our gardens goes<br />
straight into our rivers,” she said.<br />
“So if there’s anything in the<br />
path of that, be it dog poo, or<br />
rubbish or paint brushes that<br />
get washed in the tap outside -<br />
they all just flow straight into<br />
our rivers. There’s no filter or<br />
SWIMMING: Lyttelton Harbour could be off limits to summer swimmers again this year if<br />
action isn’t taken by everyone.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
anything like that.”<br />
All but three of the sites failed<br />
the safe E-coli standard.<br />
Bacteria levels were especially<br />
important when it came to<br />
testing for safe swimming levels.<br />
“E-coli is kind of like a red<br />
flag, it indicates that there could<br />
potentially be an issue. As a<br />
comparison, your dog poo that<br />
you pick up off the road - even if<br />
there’s one gram of that left, that<br />
has a million E-coli in it.”<br />
ECan found human and<br />
animal waste was a major<br />
contributor to ruling some of<br />
the region’s beaches unfit for<br />
swimming last summer.<br />
A clean up at the Ōpāwaho<br />
Heathcote River in May saw<br />
more than two tonnes of rubbish<br />
removed and taken to landfill,<br />
Moriarty said.<br />
“Over 300 dog poos they<br />
picked up, a barbecue, a<br />
Christmas tree - one of the shiny,<br />
sparkly plastic ones - road cones,<br />
plastics,” said Moriarty.<br />
The city council was also<br />
pulling a few electric scooters<br />
or bikes out of rivers every two<br />
weeks.<br />
“Everything you could<br />
imagine ends up there, along<br />
with our beautiful taonga<br />
species. Our eels, fish, our<br />
inanga that people love for their<br />
whitebait sandwiches - they’re all<br />
in there as well, competing with<br />
that rubbish,” she said.<br />
The problem was not unique<br />
to Canterbury either, with<br />
pollution of waterways occurring<br />
throughout the country.<br />
Everyone can help improve the<br />
water quality, Moriarty said.<br />
“If you’re out for a walk with<br />
your dog, just pick up the poo<br />
and put it in a bin. If you need<br />
to wash your car, bring it to a<br />
car wash or wash it over the<br />
grass, just not on your driveway<br />
because all those [soap] suds and<br />
dirt and everything just goes<br />
straight down into the stream.<br />
“It’s kind of like washing your<br />
dinner plates over your fish<br />
tank.”<br />
People could also ask their<br />
mechanic about fitting brake<br />
pads with low copper levels next<br />
time their car was in the shop or<br />
use a special paint to seal heavy<br />
metals into their roofs, so they<br />
didn’t run out with the rain,<br />
Moriarity said.<br />
If anyone saw something<br />
blocking or running into a storm<br />
water drain, they could use the<br />
Snap Send Solve app to alert the<br />
local authorities wherever they<br />
are in the country, she said.<br />
It’s our hundredth birthday.<br />

Biggest BMW yet built for long distance<br />
Those who love large super<br />
‘size-me’ luxury European SUV’s<br />
will have their appetites satisfied<br />
with the updated X7, the biggest<br />
BMW on the planet, with an<br />
equally stupendous price.<br />
This time around if offers an<br />
expanded range of standard<br />
equipment and driver assistance<br />
features, plus some subtle<br />
styling changes, to help distract<br />
from the fact that this model<br />
has been around since 2019.<br />
For our market two models<br />
are available starting with the<br />
$177,990 xDrive40d twin turbo<br />
diesel provided for this road test.<br />
Ownership is well north of that<br />
figure, for the high performance<br />
flagship X7 M60i xDrive. Fitted<br />
with a barn storming ‘big<br />
beastie’ 4.4-litre twin turbo V8, it<br />
sports an equally beefy $2<strong>24</strong>,900<br />
asking price. Both models attract<br />
the highest government clean<br />
car fee of $6,900, adding to the<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
purchasing pain of would-be<br />
owners.<br />
Styling changes are low-key<br />
and unlikely to be recognized<br />
by all except the most devout<br />
X7 aficionados. The front-end<br />
features a modest revamp<br />
including new matrix LED<br />
headlights offer non-dazzling<br />
high beam and a fog lights are<br />
automatically activated in bad<br />
weather and poor light.<br />
The test vehicle’s 3.0litre inline<br />
twin turbo diesel V6 is the<br />
first BMW sold here with 48-volt<br />
mild hybrid technology for<br />
improved imp fuel economy and<br />
lower emissions. The maximum<br />
output of the overall drive<br />
system is 259kW, and a healthy<br />
700Nm of torque, that increases<br />
to 720Nm when the mild hybrid<br />
system chips in. This latest<br />
modest form of electrification<br />
comprises a crankshaft-mounted<br />
starter generator integrated into<br />
the transmission and contributes<br />
an additional 9kW of power.<br />
The power train is supremely<br />
smooth with negligible road<br />
or engine noise in both town<br />
and open road driving. For its<br />
size and bulk it can shift itself<br />
in a hurry with a claimed 0<br />
to100 km/h sprint time of 5.6<br />
seconds. Where it really excels,<br />
is effortlessly scything through<br />
long distances like few other<br />
vehicles I’ve road tested.<br />
An eight-speed transmission<br />
with steering wheel mounted<br />
gearshift panels does a masterful<br />
job of channelling the motors<br />
considerable power and torque<br />
on to the road, via BMW’s<br />
proven xDrive all-wheel-drive<br />
system.<br />
The huge and lavishly<br />
appointed cabin can be enjoyed<br />
across three rows of seats.<br />
BMW’s Live Cockpit Plus in<br />
the new X7, is based on the<br />
company’s Operating System<br />
8 and integrates nearly into a<br />
Curved Display, formed by a<br />
large information and control<br />
displays. These days iDrive is<br />
geared towards touch operation<br />
and gesture control as well as<br />
voice activation. At times it<br />
seems overly complicated and<br />
technology for technology’s sake.<br />
BMW’s Connected Drive<br />
assistance system offers a<br />
Driving Assistant safety package<br />
comprising Lane Departure<br />
and Collision Warning Systems.<br />
One of the best new additions is<br />
Parking Assistant Professional<br />
that includes advanced Reversing<br />
Assistant that can now steer the<br />
vehicle for up to 200 metres.<br />
It’s ideal for taking the stress<br />
of backing out of long driveways<br />
you wished you had never<br />
ventured down in a vehicle of<br />
this size. It’s great watching<br />
the expressions of onlookers<br />
anticipating a backing disaster,<br />
when you make the job look so<br />
easy, and they are unaware it was<br />
all technological slight of hand,<br />
not my sublime reversing skills.<br />
The adaptive two-axle air<br />
suspension is standard with<br />
electronically controlled<br />
dampers to deliver superior<br />
comfort on long journeys.<br />
All chassis systems have been<br />
retuned for this take on the<br />
X7, raising the already lofty<br />
bar the previous model set for<br />
handling and driving comfort.<br />
It’s supported on this front by an<br />
expanded selection of automated<br />
driving systems. The test vehicle<br />
even with it’s additional height<br />
and weight is remarkably nimble<br />
– pleasant but not unexpected,<br />
after all it’s a BMW. Limited<br />
ground clearance rules out<br />
tackling genuinely demanding<br />
cross-country terrain. A lowslung<br />
front end is a likely target<br />
for protrusions such as rocks and<br />
tree stumps. However, this isn’t<br />
the sort of place an X7 owner<br />
is ever going to nose their king<br />
SUV pride and joy into.<br />
