Perfect partners highlight Pawgust 

PAWGUST: Dan Shepherd and his guide dog Ezra help 

raise awareness for Blind Low Vision NZ guide dogs. 

• By Briar Allen 

DAN SHEPHERD would not be 

here today if it were not for his 

perfect match, Ezra, the guide 

dog who saved his life. 

Shepherd welcomed Ezra, a 

labrador retriever cross, into his 

family in October 2021. Within 

the first two weeks of having 

him, Ezra saved Shepherd’s life 

as a woman backed out of her 

driveway quite fast – and Ezra 

decided they were not going to 

walk any further and put on the 

brakes. 

“We stopped and suddenly her 

car was right in front of me. If I 

was still using my white cane, she 

would have killed me or at least 

pushed me onto the footpath. 

Ezra finds and gets what I need. I 

trust him.” 

Shepherd was diagnosed with 

Retinitis Pigmentosa when he 

was 15-years-old and reached out 

to Blind Low Vision NZ for help. 

“The condition has taken 

away my peripheral vision and I 

previously accessed the orientation 

and mobility service for my 

white cane use, and I was put 

on a waitlist for a guide dog,” he 

said. 

Shepherd said he waited 19 

years to reach out for help, as 

when he was diagnosed as a 

teenager it was a lot to process 

and it took him awhile to become 

comfortable and accept being 

identified with a disability. 

“It was a process for me to 

be happy being identified as a 

person with a disability. I have 

two boys, aged seven and four, 

and it was when the eldest was 

about two-and-a-half that he 

was becoming more mobile and 

wanted his dad to be active in his 

life. That was my motivation, to 

be a part of their lives.” 

Shepherd said working with 

Ezra is freeing as he can trust 

him to make the best decisions 

for both of them, unlike with the 

white cane he was using before 

where he had to process the information 

it was giving him and 

make decisions from that. 

“He is the perfect match. It is 

that feeling of freedom. For the 

first time I was able to walk at my 

own pace, I got matched with a 

dog who helps bring awareness. 

He has confidence in new places 

which in turn gives me confidence 

to do new things, that is a 

real important part for me.” 

Shepherd works at Blind Low 

Vision NZ as the head of access 

and awareness, and said there 

was a three-year wait before he 

was matched with Ezra as the 

matching process was quite 

intense. 

“My walking speed was 

tracked so Ezra is matched to 

my walking speed, I am a bigger 

guy so I needed a bigger dog who 

would be able to stop me from 

walking when necessary. 

“I also travel for work so Ezra 

is good in new places and likes 

meeting new people.” 

He said it takes about $100,000 

to train a guide dog, which is one 

of the main challenges. 

“It is why we need campaigns 

Pawgust to put dogs in the community. 

The dogs go through a 

19-week training programme 

before a final test which only two 

out of six dogs’ pass. This is why 

we need more funding to breed 

more dogs who will be successful.” 

Pawgust involves people and 

their pets walking or running 

during the month of August to 

help raise vital funds for Blind 

Low Vision NZ guide dogs.

PATELLA SURGERY 

Recently I have had the opportunity 

to learn a technique for patella 

luxation in dogs, under the guidance 

of Specialist Surgeon, Dr Helen Milner. 

Helen worked as a specialist surgeon 

at MMH a few years ago so we have a 

very good working relationship. Helen 

is now primarily working alongside 

veterinarians as a surgical coach so I 

thought it would be as good time for 

myself and a colleague to learn a new 

technique so we can offer our patients 

more when it comes to patella luxations. 

Essentially patella luxation is a 

dislocation of the kneecap either 

medially or laterally to the trochlear 

groove. Luxations can be medial or 

lateral. Medial patella luxation ( MPL) is 

relatively common in small breed dogs. 

Breeds most at risk of MPL are Poodles, 

Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, 

Bichon Frise and Retrievers. The disease 

can be bilateral. It is considered an 

inherited, developmental disease, that 

starts early on in life. Some dogs with 

MPL will rupture their cranial cruciate 

ligament necessitating repair. MPL 

also predisposes dogs to developing 

degenerative joint disease. 

Charlie, a 3 year old Chihuahua was the 

patient I selected for the surgery. Charlie 

has a grade 2-3 patella luxation, meaning 

the patella mostly pops out medially 

with each stride, but can slide back into 

place. Charlie is difficult to assess awake 

as he’s not a fan of vets in general, not 

just me. We needed to perform sedation 

and radiographs to really evaluate 

the stifle and decide if he was a good 

candidate for surgery. He often lifts the 

left hindleg when standing or running, 

skips and double jumps on the left side. 

Most days the owners reported he lifted 

the left hind leg. Charlie is otherwise 

extremely healthy. 

Patella luxations are graded 1-4 based 

on the severity of disease. Once the 

animal is relaxed and sedated the patella 

can be manually assessed and graded. 

The anterior cruciate ligament can be 

palpated. Radiographs are important 

as we can see if there is pathology or 

osteoarthritis in any other joints, which 

may contribute to surgical success. 

Surgical correction was considered the 

right approach for Charlie based on his 

MPL grade and frequent lameness and 

daily pain exhibited. The main goal was 

to realign the stifle extensor apparatus 

and normalise forces acting on growth 

plates and joint surfaces. We wanted him 

to be able to run on all 4’s, without pain 

or lameness, enjoying his life to the full. 

A “Tibial Tuberosity Transposition” ( TTT) 

surgery was planned for Charlie to move 

the patella tendon over, realigning the 

quadriceps muscle through the centre of 

the trochlear groove. Helen is an expert 

here and you can observe from the X-ray 

attached, that a section of cranial tibia 

was sawn off and repositioned laterally 

with the help of pins and a figure of 8 

wire. After completion of this technique, 

the patella couldn’t be subluxated out 

of position. Some soft tissue suture 

patterns were also employed to help 

keep the patella in its correct position - 

the trochlear groove. 

A large padded bandage was placed 

on Charlies leg for 48 hours, to help 

provide stability, stop licking of the 

suture line and help with pain. He was 

discharged with excellent pain and anti 

inflammatory medications and exercise 

instructions. Activity is restricted for 

6-8 weeks following surgery, but physio 

and hydrotherapy can be started after 

the sutures are removed. Radiographs 

need to be repeated at the 8 week mark 

to make sure the osteotomy site has 

healed, then exercise can be adjusted 

accordingly. 

All in all it was a procedure that we 

want to be able to offer at McMaster & 

Heap vets. We have all the orthopaedic 

equipment and the perfect surgical 

coach to teach a couple of keen vets 

(one young and one a senior!) that want 

to learn a new technique that will benefit 

many of our patients in the future.

ZIG-ZAG: The carpet at the Coopers Rd home was taken from the Tivoli 

Theatre in Cathedral Square when it closed. 

Home on market 

with a magical 

old movie carpet 

• By Nikki Preston 

THE RETRO carpet 

rescued from the old Tivoli 

Theatre in the mid-1990s 

still has a starring role in a 

three-bedroom home for 

sale in Burwood. 

The red, orange and 

black zig-zag carpet was 

taken from the theatre in 

Cathedral Square when 

it closed in 1994 and laid 

in Brenda Coster’s rental 

property on Coopers Rd. 

Coster said the carpet 

was expensive back 

then, so she jumped at 

the chance to buy good 

second-hand carpet for 

her investment properties 

when she was offered it, 

paying about $500 for as 

much of the theatre’s carpet 

as she wanted. 

Coster, with help from 

two others, dragged the 

heavy carpet onto the 

back of her trailer and 

transported it to the 

rental property to replace 

the previous threadbare 

Axminster carpet. 

“It was beautiful carpet, 

it was good quality, but it 

had all the holes in it where

the stools were.” 

The cinema carpet has 

now been in the house for 

almost 30 years, matching 

the largely original home. 

The home’s long-term 

tenants also embraced its 

art deco vibe and created 

a different 1950s theme 

in every room, complete 

with tea trolleys and old 

ashtrays. 

“They used to have real 

tours through the house, 

showing all the stuff. 

They were there for years 

and years. It was quite 

remarkable what they had 

in there.” 

However, due to 

the rising costs facing 

landlords, Coster has 

decided to sell the property

When asked about the

The “budget-friendly”

Tamai Sports removing 

barriers to participation 

JOINING A LOCAL sports team 

or club can be a life-changing 

experience for children. It sets 

them up with healthy habits from 

a young age. 

But many are not getting 

that experience with declining 

participation rates and barriers 

that prevent young people from 

engaging in sports. 

Christchurch east-based Tamai 

Sports is bucking that trend by 

improving access to sports alongside 

inclusive and culturallycentred 

opportunities. 

Using sport as the vehicle for 

participation, the unique not-forprofit 

organisation adopts Māori 

and Pasifika values to nurture 

cultural identity and diversity in 

its programmes, building trusted 

relationships with whānau and 

the community. 

Tamai supports tamariki aged 

8-12 who are selected to participate 

from the Tamai learning 

cluster of seven schools: Te Waka 

Unua, Linwood Avenue, Whītau 

School, Tamariki, Te Aratai 

College, Ngutuawa School and 

Bromley. 

Programme director Ben 

Hamilton said Tamai had been 

born out of community need. 

“Through extensive research 

and our work with the community, 

we have identified four 

key barriers to participation that 

we are committed to removing. 

These include transport, 

uniforms and equipment, food, 

and access to coaches or positive 

mentors,” he said. 

The programme is delivered 

on Tuesday afternoons, with 

children transported to Linfield 

Park where they are provided 

afternoon tea and take part in the 

cultural & hauora programme, 

delivered in partnership with He 

Waka Tapu. The programme’s focuses 

include waiata/kapa haka, 

cultural identity, wellbeing, goal 

planning, keeping your tinana 

well, healthy kai, mindfulness 

and mau rākau (Māori martial 

arts). 

Following these sessions, tamariki 

receive a 45-minute sports 

coaching session in either rugby, 

football, touch, cricket or netball 

and share nutritious kai. 

“Teams then compete in the 

relevant Saturday sports competitions 

against other clubs,” said 

Hamilton. 

“Our goal is to see tamariki transition 

into Linwood Rugby Club 

TEAM WORK: Programme director Ben Hamilton leads 

Kiana, AJ, Tara-Louise and others in team-building. 

or Coastal Spirit Football Club 

following their three years with 

Tamai Sports. We work closely 

with clubs to strengthen the 

pathway for tamariki and their 

whānau.” 

A 2022 impact evaluation 

report from Ihi Research found 

Tamai has been able to effectively 

mitigate participation barriers 

in several ways, including; 

proactively addressing barriers to 

participation, providing excellent 

role models, utilising sport as a 

vehicle for modelling and teaching 

life skills, and responding 

to the cultures of tamariki and 

whānau who attend. The research 

was conducted through a kaupapa 

Māori lens. 

Ihi chief executive John 

Leonard said the response from 

whānau about the programme’s 

impact was overwhelmingly positive. 

“Whānau interviewed for our 

evaluation were unanimously 

positive about the impact Tamai 

Sports has had on their tamariki. 

“They spoke about increased 

confidence, enhanced mana and 

self-esteem, improved self-management 

skills, greater positivity, 

increased physical activity, and 

improved attitude and attendance 

at school. 

“Whānau also conveyed their 

appreciation of the whānaucentred 

nature of Tamai Sports, 

noting they felt valued and

games. 

included.” 

During the 2022 winter season, 

more than 50 per cent of participants 

in the programme identified 

as Māori or Pasifika, with 

that number in 2023 now close 

to 62 per cent. Participation of 

boys and girls is relatively even, 

with the number of girls slightly 

higher (51.1 per cent) than that of 

boys (48.9 per cent). 

This winter season, they had 

enough registrations for two 

rugby teams, two football teams 

and three netball teams, and the 

success of the programme has 

also allowed Tamai to grow its 

partnerships with other community 

organisations in the Tamai 

Learning Cluster. 

He Waka Tapu chief operating 

officer Tanith Petersen said their 

partnership with Tamai aims to 

provide young people with skills 

and experiences to set them up 

for the future. 

“He Waka Tapu is all about 

supporting tamariki through 

Tamai Sports, helping them embrace 

tikanga and nurture their 

cultural identity,” Petersern said. 

Looking ahead, Tamai is 

expanding its nutrition programme, 

providing healthy 

meals to 80 tamariki following 

their sports training for the 16- 

week programme. A cookbook 

for participating whānau is 

underway, and there are plans for 

a new ‘teach tamariki to cook’ 

initiative, which will see them 

help chefs prepare their weekly 

meals. 

South Island funder Rātā 

Foundation and other significant 

funders like Te Pūtahitanga have 

supported Tamai Sports for the 

last three years. Tamai’s work 

to strengthen the hauora of 

tamariki by removing barriers 

to accessing training or games 

and designing a programme 

that is accessible and culturally 

appropriate aligns with the Rātā 

funding focus priority to provide 

equitable access to participation 

opportunities in sport and active 

recreation in communities of 

need. 

Rātā has provided $60,000 of 

funding since 2021, including 

capacity-building support to 

evaluate their mahi with Ihi 

Research. 

Said Rātā Foundation chief 

executive Leighton Evans: “The 

real strength of Tamai Sports is 

their holistic approach to health, 

wellbeing and participation, 

“Their programmes harness 

all of the great values of active 

participation in sport, allowing 

Tamai to connect with whānau, 

schools and community to 

support the wider hauora of 

tamariki. 

“The growth of their 

programmes and reach shows 

their commitment to removing 

barriers to participation and 

collaborating with other 

community organisations to 

achieve the best results for 

tamariki in Christchurch east.” 

CLUSTER: Jaxton, Khloe and 

Tara-Louise go to one of the 

seven schools involved.
