Fifteen locations have been considered for the new $379,000 Halswell Skate and Recreation Park, city council documents have revealed. But if one location is selected a sports club may have to be relocated. Consultation as to where the skate park will go has opened to the public, with accompanying documents showing the locations under consideration. Halswell Domain – beside the playground, Knights Stream
Sports Park, Scott Park and an area next to a playground in Westlake Reserve were selected as the most “suitable� by city council staff. These four locations were considered because the average age range living near by were five to 14-year-olds and there are other recreational facilities near by. But Scott Park is used by the Halswell United Football Club in the winter and city council says if this site is selected the group may need to relocate.
INSIDE:
The other locations Bibiana Reserve, Carrs Reserve, Halswell Domain – near league clubrooms, Halswell Quarry, Milns Reserve, Muir Park, Nash Reserve, Ridder Reserve, Stallion Reserve, 281 Halswell Rd, were considered unsuitable. Relocating sports clubs has been a contentious issue recently after Denton Park was consid-
ered as one of the main locations for the new Hornby megafacility. Halswell United Football Club general manager Jenn Halliday said she was unaware of the project until the Western News brought it to her attention. She said the public wants to play football and relies on them as a club. “It would be good for the council to make sure there is enough fields for the public because there is a lot of demand there.�
She said there aren’t many allyear round football parks. When Western News previously reported Halswell was getting a new skate park, many were supportive. Halswell Community Project chairwoman Chrys Horn (left) said she was pleased consultation is under way. Once the location is approved, city council staff will work with the community to agree on what items should be included in the final design. Consultation on the location will close on March 18 at 5pm.

Commissioners appointed to hear quarrying applications TOM DOUDNEY AND GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING
The hearing commissioners for an application to allow quarries to dig up to 4m below the groundwater level have been appointed. A hearing date is yet to be set but is expected to take place in April or May. Quarrying has been a contentious issue in the west of the city after Winstone Aggregates on Old West Coast Rd was one of several quarries around Yaldhurst, Prebbleton and McLeans Island which applied to quarry deeper. The Western News reported last week of a proposal by Fulton Hogan to obtain more land to quarry on Roberts Rd, which nearly went unnoticed by residents, bringing it closer to existing homes. Sharon McGarry will be the chairwoman with the other commissioners to be David Mountford and Hugh Thorpe. Currently quarries are not allowed to go deeper than 1m

Environment Canterbury received about 600 submissions on the application. Residents have expressed concerns about whether groundwater could be contaminated if the quarries are allowed to dig deeper.

A LARGE BLADDER STONE.. “Tilly” a 5 year old, Lhaso Apso mix presented to me one weekend for vomiting, restlessness, not eating, drinking lots and just appearing flat. Nothing specific could be identified, apart from her being over weight and having a fever. She lives with a wonderful elderly lady who showers Tilly with love and food – mostly she lives on our diet, with occasional dog roll. She did have a tense abdomen and we noticed on getting a urine sample she passed many small streams. My thoughts initially were either a gastric complaint or urinary tract infection. Her urine was dilute ( she was drinking copiously) and there was a lot of blood present. I discharged Tilly on antibiotics and tramal pain relief and had her return in 3 days for another check up and urine test. The next time I saw Tilly she appeared more painful to the touch, grunting on abdominal palpation. She was eating better and hadn’t been sick but she didn’t look well to me. Her urine was still bloody and dilute so I recommended we radiograph her abdomen. I also ran blood tests to check all her organs (especially liver and kidney) were functioning normally.
Once the radiograph was done it was very easy to diagnose Tilly’s problem of pain, blood in the urine, listlessness and drinking copiously. As you can see, the bladder stone present was humungous. It’s hard to imagine any animal coping pretty well with the daily rituals of life having this huge thing rocking around inside you. On the radiograph you can also see how thickened the bladder wall has become supporting this huge mass. Very easy to now understand why we have blood in the urine and why she passes small urinations often. Basically her bladder can’t hold much urine as its “full up”.

The surgery went superbly. She was an absolute star under the anaesthetic and on recovery. Her pain was managed through medications placed into her intravenous fluids and antibiotics were a must. She was discharged later that night. My suspicion is that the stone is comprised of “Calcium Oxalate”, due to its size, hardness, opacity and the fact these stones are over represented in Lhaso Apso’s. We have sent the stone off to the Hills Science Diet analysis centre in Missouri, USA to determine what it is. This information is essential in managing Tilly’s diet accordingly in the long term so this doesn’t happen again. I love these surgeries in particular as I know I can make a huge difference to Tilly’s quality and quantity of life. They can’t thank you verbally but they definitely do in many other ways. Animals know we help them. I feel priviledged so often to be there to help and heal them. Dr Michele McMaster
MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER
It has been quite a busy week in Christchurch but without too many notable incidents. The warm weather certainly makes any vegetation fire more likely to burn and more likely to spread but, thankfully, such calls have been rare. What is evident is that there are those in the city who completely ignore the fire ban and who light rubbish, skips and couches in a single-fingered salute to authorities. There were also four instances of kitchen fires in houses. On three of these occasions the occupants had left the house with a pot still on the stove. The advice is obvious. A worker in Highsted Rd suffered an unusual entrapment last Friday when
she reached into the road sign cavity on the back of the work truck and her arm became stuck. St Albans fire crew called in their colleagues on the rescue tender from city station who utilised the hydraulic spreaders to open the steel sided cavity enough to free her. Injuries are unknown. The staff member at the airport who was heating up a roast in a microwave last Tuesday evening probably ended up acutely embarrassed when overheating caused a smoke alarm to activate. This in turn caused fire trucks from the airport crash team, Harewood, Sockburn and St Albans to respond. So the system worked. It’s just that like the kitchen fires reported above, by staying with the cooking, a big inconvenience for everyone might have been avoided.

Small bladder stones ( uroliths) can be medically managed and dissolved effectively with prescription diets once the composition of the stone is known. This stone requires urgent surgical removal which Tilly’s owners were in full agreeance with. I came in to operate on my day off as I didn’t want Tilly to suffer with this stone any longer. She is so stoic and really her owners haven’t noticed changes with her until recently.

INNOVATIVE: The team at Cultivate Waste, Simon Reilly and Louis Go with Agropolis Urban Farm project co-ordinator Annelies Zwann.
Awatea Road Reserve plan – have your say
Student’s bid to beat food waste
GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING
After growing up in the Philippines where the lifestyle is not as privileged as in New Zealand, Louis Go was shocked at how so many people took food for granted. The Canterbury University student living in Fendalton has developed an innovative idea to help tackle the city’s food waste problem. Mr Go (right) has come up with a social enterprise venture to help reduce the amount of food waste going into the landfills. Cultivate Waste will be offering businesses the opportunity to separate their waste into different streams. The amount of food waste produced by businesses is also able to be tracked. “When I moved here to New Zealand and started working in the hospitality industry I was really annoyed at how easily some people could just throw food away,” he said. Nationally, food waste is an
5
$870 million problem per year. He said that figure comes only from the household food waste alone. The project Cultivate Waste was developed after Mr Go had the opportunity to network with business professionals at the annual Live the Dream programme. Mr Go was lucky enough to be chosen along with 10 others from Christchurch to take part in the nine-week programme designed to help New Zealanders aged between 18-30 to establish entrepreneurial ideas for a better community. During the programme Mr Go was offered a proposition from social enterprise Cultivate Christchurch manager Bailey Peryman to drive it forward. From there Cultivate Waste was developed to provide a food waste selection while partnered with Cultivate Christchurch which provides employment for youth through urban farming.
Mr Go said each week 120-litre bins will be collected from different businesses and the team at Cultivate Waste will start collecting data on how much food waste is produced each week. And hospitality businesses are starting to take notice of Cultivate Waste with 27 Steps, Shop Eight Food and Wine, Casa Publica, the Nook Eatery and the Red Elephant already on board. Said Mr Go: “I’m really hoping within a year we capture 50 per cent of the market and in about two years time we capture 80 per cent.’’ He said his main goal is to work together with businesses to help Christchurch become more sustainable in the waste the city produces.

The public can now have their say on the Awatea Road Reserve landscape plan which will honour seven airmen who were killed when two aircrafts collided in 1953. The proposed work will be located between the Upper Heathcote Esplanade Reserve and the Kahurangi 3 Drainage Reserve. Awatea Residents’ Association chairman Peter Dellaca said he thinks the proposal is good but he addressed the consultation process as an issue with the city council. “It appears the bulk of Awatea residents don’t know a thing about it.” He said the city council should do a letterbox drop. “How do you tell a 70-yearold person to go onto a website and tell them what it is going to look like?” He thinks the proposal will work well because part of the park will honour the pilots killed in the de Havilland Devon NZ1811 aircrafts after the London to Christchurch air-race. He said the park is exactly the point where they crashed. On October 15, 1953 seven airmen were killed when two de Havilland Devon NZ1811 aircrafts collided and lost control. At the time it was the largest loss of life incurred by the
RNZAF in any single accident and was held until the Mt Erebus crash in 1979. The project has come about after the city council advised last year in June tree removal works and replacement planting was planned for these reserves. Mature willow trees towards the end of Wigram Rd are proposed to provide shelter for planned specimen trees and they will require further management to maintain their health. A group of three birch trees on the north bank of the waterway will also be retained. The reserve is proposed to be developed as a park, incorporating large scale specimen trees orientated into groups. Pedestrian routes will be added to the plan to connect subdivisions on either side of the Heathcote River. The city council said as this funding becomes available, paths will be surfaced and boardwalks constructed across the stream.

Amanda Maxwell
Past victim of bullying helps Amanda Maxwell, 26, is the creator of Triple R Youth, a programme that helps build confidence in teenagers. She talked to Fraser Walker-Pearce about her own struggle with bullying, why photography is the best medicine, and living with fibromyalgia and the pain associated with it Hi Amanda, thanks for talking to me. Tell me a bit about yourself. I found that in my own life photography has helped me deal with and properly handle bullying and mental health issues. I completed a diploma of contemporary photography in 2013, and I wanted to share my passion and help teach young people that if they don’t click with sports or music, there are other opportunities out there. I also wanted to provide a programme for youth that explores positive belief in selfworth. This your first business? I have my own kind of self-employed business called ‘Photos by Amanda’, which I’m now starting to get up and
running again. Once I start turning a profit in that I’ll start putting about 20 per cent into the content for Triple R Youth. Research has proved that for a positive change in a kid’s mind, they need ongoing help and support. So for this venture I plan to have a 10-week programme and ongoing support after that. So how did you go about setting the venture up? My first step was to contact the Ministry of Education, but that proved a road block, as there was no research backing up what I was saying, no proof that it will be successful. Even if it’s a school holiday programme for a year I would have to prove it has been successful. It’s all about gaining credibility.
And do you have an idea in mind of how that will be run? My first mini workshop will be held at the White Elephant Trust on March 12. It’ll be held at 442 Tuam St. It’s a free workshop for the participants to help me build the content. The plan is to do it through the next six months, and to have youth input throughout. So far I have five people attending, but I’d always like to see more. There will be a photography activity, a place to hang out, listen to music, and have a pizza lunch. There will be a few activities about getting to know each other as well. That sounds great! Is that all ready to go now? I’ll need help in facilitating the workshop and the resources that I need that I don’t have the funds for. I guess I’m looking for a funding partner that has the same ideas about youth as me. Has this idea
come from personal experiences? I was bullied in high school, from age 13 onwards, and I actually left due to being bullied. I didn’t really get into
sports or music, but I really enjoyed taking photos. That makes me feel like there is a huge gap for a workshop like this. I’ve put in some of my own money towards this venture because I believe in it. Did others at the Live the Dream business accelerator feel the same? My target age group is a bit younger than the others at Live the Dream. I’m aiming to help 12 to 15-year-olds, which is an age that is generally accepted to be before they have formed their own opinions about themselves. Would you ever publish works of your own? Yes, I would probably consider doing a book of my photos. I specialise in portrait art, which is anything like weddings, maternity, families, graduations – all sorts. My Facebook page, showcases some of the work I’ve done.

youths find confidence Two of my photography sessions were exhibited in 2014. The first one was called self worth, and the second domestic violence. They were both exhibited in a group photography session in Matchbox Studios in Wellington, which is one of the main ones in Wellington. And did they go down quite well with the audience? Receive any feedback? I had a lot of feedback about how raw the exhibit was and how it made people think about my works. One person asked if I would sell my work, but those two particular series had me in them, so I didn’t want to sell them off if they were just going to be hung up on a wall. If it was going towards a women’s refuge centre or something then possibly. Has your partner helped you along the way? I’ve had a bit of trouble in past relationships and he came in at the right time, right place. He deals really well with my condition, which is called fibromyalgia. It’s a condition that makes you feel like you have the flu 24/7, in constant pain. I was diagnosed in March last year. It’s not curable, it’s in the same group as arthritis. So
that has made my life hell for a while, but it’s about learning to manage that. He’ll help me out of bed if I’m sore or give me a massage and things like that, which is great. Man that’s pretty horrible. Sorry to hear about that. I just figure there’s always someone worse off. I’ve been struggling since I was 18, but wasn’t diagnosed until last year. At the time I was diagnosed, my friend and I were about to travel to the United States for nine weeks. The trip was already planned, but it was hard going through what type of medication would work and what wouldn’t while overseas. Yeah, I can imagine. So have you done a lot of travel then? Ah, I’ve been to Brisbane, where I’ve got heaps of family. I’ve also been to the US, Canada, and Hawaii. If you had to pick one place to live, where would it be? I’d still have to say New Zealand because of my condition – I can get help here. But if I lived in a dream it’d be Canada. • If you are interested in attending Amanda’s workshop, email her on triple.r.youth@ hotmail.com

7 unlikely foods that sabotage fat loss Many of the foods that people think will help them lose weight are actually packing it on, says dietician Becca Hurt
the bad guy,” explains Hurt. “There is no difference in fat loss between diets with no-fat and full-fat dairy consumption, according to recent studies.” In fact, Hurt notes that people often add sugar to enhance the taste of their skim milk, which quickly turns it into a decidedly unhealthy option.
The basic idea behind fat loss is simple. Eat better, exercise more. However, hidden in this formula are numerous caveats and footnotes. No wonder there are so many books about the ways people are supposed to exercise and eat right. Hurt, programme manager of Life Time Weight Loss at Life Time — The Healthy Way of Life Company, says there are enemies lurking in common foods that almost everyone eats or drinks. So, what’s to be done? To help identify some of the most common weight loss enemies, Hurt has provided a list of seven culprits everyone will want to weed out of their diet.
Yes, even wholegrain pasta is stripped of beneficial nutrients, bleached and loaded with preservatives to make it more shelf-stable. Pasta portions can also be confusing. “A pasta meal should begin with a big salad, and the high protein meatballs should be larger than the portion of pasta,” says Hurt. “Instead of spaghetti and meatballs, it should be meatballs with some spaghetti on the side.”
Pasta
SALAD DAYS: Next time you reach for a sandwich, think about all the carbohydrates it’s going to load you down with and opt for vegetables for lunch instead.
“ Coffee shop drinks
Hurt says that liquid calories are more often one of the biggest
downfalls when it comes to losing weight. For many, it starts with their morning coffee. While coffee with only cream added is no harm, the danger is in the sugar-loaded, caramel chocolate
INSTEAD OF SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS, IT SHOULD BE MEATBALLS WITH SOME SPAGHETTI ON THE SIDE.
dieting disasters many people believe to be healthy because they ordered the non-fat option. “Not only do these drinks lead to a sugar rollercoaster and energy crash, they may be loaded with as many as 500-plus calories,” says Hurt.
Skim milk “Only recently, Americans started to realise fat isn’t always
Reduced fat snacks For many, reduced fat, no fat and low fat labels on foods can be a green light to what they believe is guilt-free snacking. The principle to remember is not all calories are the same. “A 100-calorie pudding is not as healthy as 100 calories worth of almonds,” explains Hurt. “Food that is naturally healthy doesn’t need a non-fat label.” A handful of nuts, a few slices of full-fat cheese or some Greek
yogurt are much healthier options by far.
Energy drinks For those looking to shed some fat, drinking one of these sugar-loaded bad boys means putting the brakes on their body’s fat burning process. Hurt adds that people should get no more than 5 per cent of their daily calorie allowance from sugar and just one energy drink will put someone well over this limit.
Sandwiches While many think ordering a sandwich is a diet-friendly alternative to a burger, consider this: one sandwich has as many carbohydrates as a chocolate bar! “Carbs are not a sustainable source of energy and are responsible for that sluggish, hungry feeling that leads many to skip workouts and snack more,” says Hurt. Ditch the bread for a salad!
Protein bars They might be marketed as the fat-burning, muscle-gaining snack, but don’t be fooled. Heavily processed protein bars are loaded with sugars and carbohydrates. To get the necessary protein, Hurt suggests looking to nuts or animal sources such as meats or yogurt instead.

If your New Years resolution is to improve your speaking skills then we are the club for you. We have a programme that will build your confidence step by step; the atmosphere is supportive and you will receive encouraging feedback from other members. Stimulation and laughter are guaranteed.
When you’re in the business of shaping futures, it makes sense to do a bit of future-proofing of your own. Which is exactly what we’ve done with the coming together of CPIT and Aoraki. Rather than being spread across two very good organisations, the best of both have come together to form one great one.

Strengthen your Spine, avoid back pain
W
hether it’s from gardening, lifting something heavy, or twisting awkwardly, most of us will experience low back pain during our lifetime and it can certainly slow us down. An exciting and effective way of resolving and preventing low back or neck pain is Dynamic Spines, a programme run by Muscle People in Christchurch City and Bishopdale. As physiotherapist and director of Muscle People, Laurie Moore, explains: “Spinal strength and stability is the focus of the programme, concentrating on the deep core muscles in the trunk.” The programme is designed to move you beyond pain to a place where you feel confident about taking part in dynamic activities, and significantly reduce recurrence of back pain, she says. Led by physiotherapists, the weekly exercise programme is conducted for small groups, with core stability and spinal muscle control being addressed. Participants experience clear progression each week, which will cross over to their everyday life. “More than 80 per cent of New Zealanders suffer from a significant episode of low back pain during their life,” Laurie says. “Of these, 84 per cent are likely to have a recurrence of back pain within a year. Research shows
that those that undergo a specific spinal strengthening programme are almost three times better off.” The benefits of completing the Dynamic Spines programme: • • • • •
Stabilise your spine Increase your core strength Improve your confidence Correct causative factors that may relate to ongoing pain and recurrent episodes of low back pain Specific training for your back
A Muscle People client who has completed the Dynamic Spines programmes, Julie, says: “The course has been life-changing. I suffered from severe neck pain and was fearful of any movement. This programme has strengthened up my neck muscles, making me feel confident and like a new woman.” Another participant, Tor, says: After partaking in the Dynamic Spines group exercise programme I definitely feel stronger all over – thigh muscles, arms, general increased stamina. This has helped with my gardening work, with less lower back niggles.” Before you join the Dynamic Spines programme, a physiotherapist will assess your individual needs. The programme is then split into two levels. Laurie explains:

Would you like your children to exercise more and earn some money?
DELIVERY PEOPLE
WANTED The Star requires delivery personnel in all areas of Christchurch. The work involves door-to-door delivery of The Star newspaper.
After Before “The first level is all about learning to locate and then strengthen the appropriate muscles. The physiotherapists will help each person to achieve this based on their individual diagnosis and ability. “The second level focuses on turning those learned skills into habitual movements and improving strength. Home exercises are also an integral part of the programme. The Dynamic Spines programme is designed for men and women of all ages and fitness levels, who have back or neck pain, or with core or postural weakness. For more information phone Muscle People at their city clinic (03) 961 0236 or in Bishopdale on (03) 360 3606, or visit musclepeople.co.nz.
