‘Sand art dissolves the<br />

chaos in my head’<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

NEW BRIGHTON artist<br />

Wayne Webb has had a long<br />

history of mental health battles.<br />

However, he has found an<br />

unusual outlet to overcome his<br />

struggles – using nature and a<br />

rake to make mandalas, tributes<br />

and messages in the sand.<br />

“So many people truly think<br />

the world would be better off<br />

without them, that they are<br />

alone,” said Webb.<br />

“I too was suicidal and using<br />

drugs and alcohol. It has been<br />

a journey but now, sand art<br />

has become my pub and my<br />

chemist.”<br />

Now, his work has been<br />

captured in a short video,<br />

A Gift to the Sea, which will<br />

be showcased in this year’s<br />

Aotearoa Mental Health Film<br />

Festival.<br />

A Gift to the Sea will be<br />

screened at Hoyts EntX on<br />

November 23, as part of nine<br />

short films to be showcased.<br />

The film can also be seen<br />

on the New Brighton Online<br />

website.<br />

Webb started sand art about<br />

three and a half years ago and<br />

since then, New Brighton beach<br />

has become a daily – sometimes<br />

twice daily – destination for<br />

him.<br />

“Sand art dissolves the chaos<br />

in my head. ‘Busy hands, settled<br />

brain’ is a saying I’ve stuck to,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It gives me a power. The<br />

beach is healing and cleansing,<br />

and art has the power not just<br />

to change my life, but others’ as<br />

well.”<br />

Webb was inspired by<br />

now-retired sand artist Peter<br />

Donnelly, who created on New<br />

Brighton’s shores from <strong>19</strong>97 to<br />

2014, and Jeremy Lillico, who<br />

helped Webb create his first<br />

piece.<br />

“I want to reach as many<br />

people who feel alone as<br />

possible, and help get them to<br />

stay (living),” Webb said.<br />

The video was funded<br />

by ChristchurchNZ, Rata<br />

Foundation, and Lottery<br />

Community. It was produced<br />

by Jaunty Productions for New<br />

Brighton Online.<br />

Bourne to lead: Young golfer’s win<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

FOURTEEN-year-old Zaria<br />

Bourne is an emerging force on<br />

the fairways.<br />

She was the youngest player<br />

in Waimairi Beach Golf Club’s<br />

history to win its senior<br />

club championship at the age<br />

of 12.<br />

Now Zaria’s skills have been<br />

recognised at the national<br />

GirlBoss awards. She won the<br />

emerging leader award last week<br />

at a ceremony in Auckland.<br />

Said Zaria: “I was very happy,<br />

surprised and thankful to win<br />

the award. Golf is typically a<br />

male-dominated sport and I’m<br />

happy to show other young<br />

women that ‘if he can do it, so<br />

can I’.<br />

“I’ve had a lot of rejection due<br />

to my skill, size and gender. That<br />

didn’t stop me from hitting the<br />

ball harder and further.”<br />

Zaria has been a part of the<br />

Waimairi golf club for about four<br />

years, and has scored not one but<br />

two hole-in-ones.<br />

Her dream is to become a<br />

professional golfer like Lydia Ko,<br />

and her vision is for an academy<br />

to be set up for young women so<br />

they can succeed together.<br />

“I want to lead other girls into<br />

believing they can do anything.<br />

Restraints can hold you back<br />

from becoming the best version<br />

of you.”<br />

The Catholic Cathedral College<br />

student was awarded $1000<br />

alongside the title and will save the<br />

money until she needs it most.<br />

She was one of three young<br />

women from Canterbury to<br />

receive awards.<br />

St Margaret’s College student<br />

Lucy Butterfield won the<br />

STEM award, and former<br />

Christchurch Girls High School<br />

head prefect Hawwa Niyaz the<br />

innovation award.<br />

The 11 winners were<br />

selected from 530 nominations<br />

nationwide.<br />

The Girlboss Awards are a<br />

nationwide search for young<br />

women aged 11-18 who are<br />

leaders, role models and<br />

innovators in categories such<br />

as community, sports, arts and<br />

culture, and innovation.<br />

Making mental<br />

health ‘famous’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Said New Brighton Online project<br />

manager Talya Willson: “We’re very proud<br />

of the team – Wayne for his talent, Fynn<br />

McLaughlan as cameraman, Zak Abdullah<br />

for drone shots and Jaunty Productions<br />

director and editor Shea McKenzie.<br />

“It is important for men to share their<br />

experiences and coping mechanisms to<br />

promote good health in others, and tell<br />

stories about doing things that still bring<br />

them happiness.<br />

“I am happy to have a platform to share<br />

something that has helped me, with others<br />

in a similar situation.<br />

“The whole point is to get people talking<br />

without any stigma.”<br />

He said he wanted mental health “to be<br />

famous, not me”.<br />

Booze ban on<br />

the cards at QEII<br />

AN ALCOHOL ban is being proposed<br />

at Queen Elizabeth II Park and the<br />

surrounding area.<br />

The city council is looking at amending<br />

its Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places<br />

Bylaw to allow for the alcohol ban,<br />

specifically during events with more than<br />

4000 attendees.<br />

The request, raised by the<br />

community, would require schedule<br />

2 of the bylaw to include QEII as a<br />

“large-scale event alcohol ban area”.<br />

The ban would apply from<br />

midnight to 11.59pm on the day of<br />

any designated event, within the<br />

area bounded by Ascot Ave, Bower<br />

Ave, Travis Rd, Frosts Rd and<br />

Beach Rd.<br />

“The proposed ban would be consistent<br />

with other Christchurch event venues that<br />

host large scale events, such as Hagley<br />

Park,” said city council head of strategic<br />

policy and resilience David Griffiths.<br />

“The ban would aim to limit anti-social<br />

behaviour in public places surrounding<br />

the venue on the days where there are<br />

large events.”<br />

Event providers can still apply for special<br />

licenses to serve alcohol at these events.<br />

“We’ve heard from stakeholders<br />

including Christchurch School of<br />

Gymnastics, Taiora QEII, Children’s<br />

Christmas Parade Trust, and<br />

Avonside Girls and Shirley Boys’<br />

High Schools who all support the<br />

proposal,” said Griffiths.<br />

The city council will make<br />

a decision on the proposal on<br />

December 12. If approved, the<br />

bylaw amendment would take effect on<br />

December 18.<br />

People can have their say up until<br />

Brachycephalics<br />

and their airways<br />

Dogs evolved more than 40 million<br />

years ago.<br />

Around 150-200 years ago, the concept of<br />

“breed” as we know it today was invented.<br />

Due to the popularity of showing and<br />

breeding in the early <strong>19</strong>00’s, there was<br />

a need to create a spectrum of diverse<br />

breeds. The modern domestic dog became<br />

mans greatest genetic experiment - in<br />

some cases genetic triumph, in others<br />

genetic disaster.<br />

Health and welfare concerns about<br />

Brachycephalic dogs has become an<br />

increasingly high profile and contentious<br />

topic among the veterinary profession<br />

over recent years. There is no doubt these<br />

dogs have fabulous personalities and<br />

the popularity of this cherished breed is<br />

on the rise, but these dogs are strongly<br />

predisposed to a range of disorders due to<br />

their conformation. The most concerning<br />

is respiratory disease but they also get<br />

spinal disease, eye diseases, dystocia and<br />

heat stroke. It has been reported they live<br />

significantly shorter lifespans compared to<br />

non- Brachycephalic dogs.<br />

Brachycephalic breeds have a shorter wider<br />

skull, which leads to a narrow nasal passage<br />

and altered pharyngeal anatomy. Pugs<br />

and English bulldogs can have a dorsal<br />

rotation of the maxillary bone (upper<br />

jaw). Breathing is just really difficult, they<br />

are often snorers from a young age and<br />

exercising becomes an effort. If severe<br />

enough, these dogs will collapse, especially<br />

after a bout of over activity, excitement or<br />

excessive heat. Some dogs will gag, retch<br />

or reverse sneeze due to choking on their<br />

overly long soft palate. Regurgitation of<br />

food is common and this can be what<br />

they are seen for first. This can lead to<br />

bronchopneumonia.<br />

Diagnosis of elongated soft palate, tonsil<br />

enlargement and laryngeal collapse can<br />

only be made visually under carefully<br />

managed anaesthesia. Stenotic nostrils can<br />

be observed on physical exam.<br />

Posh at<br />

home<br />

before<br />

her<br />

exciting<br />

day at<br />

the vets<br />

Recently we had the pleasure of meeting<br />

“ Posh”, a much loved 7 month old French<br />

Bulldog. Posh was admitted for her<br />

desexing procedure and BOAS surgery<br />

with Dr Steve Heap ( BOAS is a combination<br />

or narrow nostrils and an overly long soft<br />

palate at the back of the throat) because<br />

she’s a breed to go on and develop severe<br />

respiratory disease later in life.<br />

Surgical positioning for shortening<br />

the soft palate<br />

Steve Heap<br />

performing soft<br />

palate shortening<br />

From all accounts Posh is experiencing no<br />

exercise intolerance, is a snorer though but<br />

healthy otherwise. Early surgical correction<br />

of this condition is advised before<br />

secondary changes develop in the airways,<br />

causing severe breathing issues that<br />

become irreversible, affecting her quality of<br />

life and exercise ability.<br />

We take extra precautions with the<br />

anaesthetic and drugs used because<br />

of her breed. Posh only had her palate<br />

shortened as her nostrils were of good<br />

width ( which is unusual for this breed).<br />

Posh breezed through her spey and palate<br />

surgery, waking up uneventfully, looking<br />

comfortable and settled.<br />

Recent studies have shown that 90% of<br />

BOAS dogs are significantly improved with<br />

surgery. If treatment is undertaken early<br />

before we see laryngeal collapse, these<br />

dogs can enjoy exercise and play without<br />

shortness of breath.<br />

The finished product - an open<br />

Dr Steve Heap is now performing these<br />

surgeries at McMaster & Heap. We have<br />

the necessary equipment and operating<br />

microscope to perform these very delicate<br />

surgeries.<br />

If you would like more information on BOAS<br />

surgery, please make an appointment with<br />
