‘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 />
