Mega facility decision ‘Darkest day’ for Hornby Megan Woods

David Hiatt

DARK DAY: Denton Park has been approved as the preferred site for the Hornby mega facility.

out for consultation – Kyle Park had 43 per cent support and Denton received 38 per cent. Kyle Park was ruled out by the community board because 22 per cent of the facility’s budget would have to be spent on removing asbestos from the old landfill site. Wigram Labour MP Megan Woods has signed the petition because she said Denton Park is the “heart of Hornby”. She said she did not want

to see Kyle Park remain a contaminated piece of land in the middle of the suburb when they had the opportunity to fix it and build a state-of-the-art facility. “I just want the very best facilities for Hornby,” she said. Dr Woods is investigating whether the city council would be able to apply for the Ministry for the Environment’s contaminated sites remediation fund for Kyle Park.

Wigram National candidate David Hiatt agrees that Kyle Park should have been investigated more. “Kyle Park had many benefits and I would have liked to have seen further consideration of this option, which was the preferred location of the original submissions received,” Mr Hiatt said. After the five and a half hour meeting on Saturday, the community board was

unanimous in its vote. Members Helen Broughton, Natalie Bryden, Vicki Buck, Jimmy Chen, Catherine Chu and Anne Galloway voted for Denton Park. Mike Mora, Ross McFarlane and Debbie Mora voted against. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you agree with the decision to build the Hornby mega facility at Denton Park?

By Julia Evans A PETITION aimed at stopping Denton Park from becoming the home of the Hornby mega facility is beginning to snowball. By yesterday, more than 800 people had signed the petition to halt the $35.7 million project in its tracks. The petition started on Sunday after the Halswell-HornbyRiccarton Community Board decided on Saturday that Denton Park was the preferred option for the Hornby Library, Customer Services and South West Leisure Centre. It will be sent to all city councillors and Mayor Lianne Dalziel. Hornby Cricket Club committee member Kevin Hornbrook described the community board’s decision as Hornby’s “darkest day”. The 4240 sq m pool, library and service facility on Denton Park would be built along Main South Rd. It would mean the loss of a rugby field and there will be only one cricket pitch. Mr Hornbrook said the clubs were “not happy” and will “lose everything” if the facility is built on the site. The city council received 293 submissions when the plan was

Tuesday August 15 2017 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

THE DEBATE over the Hornby mega facility will rage for a longtime yet. The local community board has chosen Denton Park, primarily because of the cost of removing asbestos from Kyle Park (see page 1). Now Wigram MP Megan Woods is going to see if city council can access funding from the Government to clean it up. I suspect the horse has bolted on that one – unless Labour controls the Beehive post-September 23. Hornby cricket’s Kevin Hornbrook described the community board’s decision as Hornby’s “darkest day”. But Denton Park is in desperate need of a major overhaul and it is close to bars, cafes and the Hornby Hub. Change can be difficult and it is likely to mean some sports will have to relocate, but sometimes that is unfortunately inevitable. – Barry Clarke

Work starts on last link of uni cycleway CONSTRUCTION is under way on the last part of a new cycleway linking Canterbury University with the city centre. Contractors Isaac Construction have begun working on the portion of the cycleway which will take cyclists through historic Riccarton Bush and past the grand Victorian homestead that was once home to Canterbury’s pioneering Deans family. It is the last remaining link in the Uni-Cycle cycleway and will take about six weeks to complete. The existing shared path at the Hinau St end of Riccarton Bush will be widened slightly and a new cycleway entrance created on Kahu Rd. The new cycleway entrance on Kahu Rd will mean cyclists and pedestrians can stay clear of the main driveway used by people visiting Riccarton Bush and House by car. Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board chairman Mike Mora, who also sits on the Riccarton Bush Trust, said it was great to see work under way. Riccarton Bush was a historically significant site for both Maori and Europeans and

& Meet Indy... McMaster Heap

Veterinary practice

Meet Indy, an 11 year old speyed Lab cross, who presented for a hind leg mass. Indy has previously had tumors removed so the owners knew what to expect and wanted to get this mass checked out as it seemed to grow quite quickly. Indy was not bothered by it though and she wasn’t lame on the leg. Indy is a very special patient of mine as she has had not one but two knee surgeries about 4 years ago (2 months apart), to repair ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments. Fortunately her stifles give her no problems and she enjoys a very fit and active social life.

Indy was then anaesthetized, connected to our Cardell monitoring machine and placed on intravenous fluids, then taken to surgery to remove her MCT. Kirsty, her surgeon, also had to remove the associated draining popliteal lymph node as it was enlarged and very close to the tumor. A wide resection was undertaken to ensure no tumor tissue was left behind. The mass will be sent off for histopathology to make sure no tissue was left behind. In 10 days after surgical removal, Indy will be back to her old self, charging around as though nothing has happened. Ultrasound is a widely used diagnostic tool at McMaster & Heap Vets. It would

By Mark Thomas specialist fire investigator EARLY LAST week a detective and I sat in the sun for the best part of an hour in Armagh St while we waited for an overworked police photographer to arrive at a suspicious fire scene. For the first time in months, the sun was shirt sleeves warm. Spring and summer can’t come too soon for my old bones, but I dare say we’ll have to put up with some wintry stuff first. So winter advice of the metre/heater rule, of staying in the kitchen when cooking, of using electric blankets only to heat the bed, and of cleaning the lint filter on the clothes dryer are still current and pertinent. I spent a much colder morning in Hammersley Ave, Shirley, last Thursday. A shed fire had spread to a garage and caused quite a bit of damage. Inspection of the shed led us to a small freezer with signs of the fire origi-

nating underneath in the compressor compartment. A closer look at this space revealed a pile of newspaper, plastic and vegetation. It appears a large rodent had made a nest in amongst the wiring. The interesting fact was that the newspaper was all ripped up into nearly identical small squares. The mental picture of a

rat carefully comparing its bedding for uniformity of size seems ludicrous. But the evidence was right there. The police help us regularly. So when the brakes of a caravan being towed by a police car overheated and smoked volumes this week, the St Albans crew was more than happy to help.

Olivia performed a FNA ( fine needle aspirate) on the large mass, that was very inflamed and was golf ball sized. Unfortunately she saw lots of “mast cells” under the microscope, giving a diagnosis of Mast Cell tumor ( MCT ). These tumors are malignant, grow fast and will set up in other sites quickly. Her only option was surgical removal to hopefully limit the spread and extend her life. Indy was admitted, blood tests performed in house and chest xrays taken to make sure the mass hadn’t spread. Catherine ultrasounded her liver as well to check tumor spread. All looked clear. There is no point subjecting Indy to a major surgery if we saw gross changes in other organs. We will never go in and operate on a malignant tumor without first making absolutely sure we cant detect disease elsewhere.

Saturday Saturday th 19 August Monks offer enlightenment at library 12th August Meet Megan on GRAIN BY grain, Tibetan monks are painstakingly creating a sacred sand mandala at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre. Formed from crushed, marble-coloured sand, the ‘cosmogram’ represents a world in perfect harmony. Then, after three weeks, the grains will be brushed away to “signifying the impermanence of all things”. Mandalas are said to transmit positive energies to the environment and to people who view them, guiding individuals on the path to enlightenment. The monks will slowly build up the mandala, which is expected to be completed by September 1. Members of the public can see them labouring over their work at the centre as they place one grain of sand after another to realise an intricate symbolic design in vivid colour. City council libraries and information manager Carolyn Robertson said it was an amazing opportunity to see the cosmogram unfold in all its beauty. “We are very fortunate to be able to present this

St Mark’s School celebrates new buildings AFTER WORKING around earthquake damage and rebuild work for almost seven years, there were plenty of smiles on Friday as the new St Mark’s School buildings were officially opened. The earthquake-damaged school library and music suite has been demolished and

rebuilt, the hall expanded and other buildings redeveloped as part of the $7 million project. The buildings were officially opened last week by Bishop Victoria Matthews, who led the ceremony and blessing at the Anglican primary school. Principal Averil Worner said

reopening the buildings was a “massive milestone” for the school. The rebuild work started three years ago, and she said work had been done on almost every building. “Keeping the quality teaching going while the school is being

built around us has been quite a challenge,” she said. She said the new spaces would allow more flexible teaching, and were tailor-made for the school. “It enhances our school character, with a nod to tradition but with space for innovation,” she said.

Richie surprises Avonhead grandmother By Sarah Harris

OBSESSED: Grandmother Helen Young is Richie McCaw’s biggest fan. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER

A TERMINALLY-ILL grandma from Avonhead’s Maidstone Care Home was overjoyed to get a special message from ‘her darling’ Richie McCaw. Granddaughter Kerri-Lee Elcock has been campaigning to get McCaw to meet her grandma Helen Young since March. “It would actually make her life to meet him,” Ms Elcock said. “She’s always been in love with him, she’s always thought he’s a major hottie . . . when he got married she was so distraught.” Ms Elcock said doctors had advised Mrs Young didn’t have long to live due to her raft of health problems. After McCaw’s manager was approached the rugby legend sent a special video message which was presented as a surprise. McCaw made a personal video for Mrs Young, a “good Canterbury person,” wishing her all the best. “I heard through your granddaughter you’ve had a bit of a

tough time for the last wee while,” he said. “I just want to send you some best wishes and by the sounds of things you’ve got a great family around you who think a lot of you, who really love and care for you.” Mrs Young’s daughter Joelene Anderson said her mum was lost for words when the video came on. “She said it was brilliant. She loved the video. “But deep down she’d still like to meet him.” The 72-year-old has been obsessed with the former All Blacks captain since he burst onto the national rugby scene in 2001, Ms Elcock explained. Mrs Young had collected every photo, article and piece of memorabilia about him and plastered it over her wall at the Maidstone Care Home. She nicknamed him ‘her husband’. After her father died Ms Elcock was raised by her grandma for a few years in her teens. Getting her Grandma a meeting with McCaw was a way to say thanks, the

19-year-old said. “My Nana has done a lot of things for me and I haven’t done a lot for her. I just want to do something that makes her really happy before she goes.” But they might not have much more time. Mrs Young fell down a flight of stairs six years ago and is now paralysed. She’s got a bad heart and regularly gets chest infections. Ms Anderson said doctors had told her they could “lose her at any time.” Mrs Young said she loved McCaw because “he is just a great man” and she liked the way he played rugby. She admitted she was upset when she found out he was married and her message to him was “please come and see me.”

2 Shallots, medium, or a small onion 60g Butter 250g Brown rice, short grain ½ cup White wine 3 Tbsp Mint leaves, chopped 1 handful Parmesan cheese 4 Courgette flowers, optional

ROASTED CARROTS WITH ORANGES AND AVOCADO Ingredients 2 cloves Garlic, crushed 1 Red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped 1 tsp Cumin seeds, toasted and ground 4 Tbsp Olive oil 500g Carrots, small, scrubbed ½ cup Vegetable stock 3 Oranges 1 Avocado, firm and ripe, halved, stone removed and peeled 1 Lemon, juiced ¼ cup Pomegranate seeds, optional 1 handful Basil leaves Directions Heat the oven to 200 deg C. Place the garlic, chilli and cumin in a small bowl and mix with one tablespoon olive oil to make a paste. Place carrots in an ovenproof dish and rub with the garlic paste. Pour ½ cup vegetable stock into the corner of the dish to prevent unsettling the paste. Cover the dish with foil and place in the oven. Roast carrots for 20-25min until just tender.

Directions

Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Place carrots on a serving plate and reserve cooking juices. Segmenting an orange: Cut the top and bottom off the orange. Place one of the cut sides down on a board. Starting at the top and following the contour of the orange, cut off the skin, leaving no white pith behind. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release orange segments, reserve juice. Place segments on top of the carrots as you go. Repeat with remaining oranges. Slice the avocado and place on the salad. Squeeze over the lemon juice.

Make a dressing by whisking the reserved orange juice with the remaining oil and flavour with some or all of the carrot juices. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over enough dressing to moisten the salad. Scatter over pomegranate seeds, if using, and the basil leaves. COURGETTES, MINT AND BROWN RICE Ingredients 300g Courgettes 400g Broad beans 1 Ltr Vegetable stock, hot

Wipe the courgettes, then slice them. Put them in a colander in the sink, generously grind salt over them and leave for at least 20min. Pod the beans, cook them for 7-10min in very lightly salted boiling water, then drain. If the beans are large and you have the inclination, pop them out of their skins. Heat the stock in a saucepan and keep warm over a low heat. Peel the shallots or onion and chop finely. Cook in 40g of butter until soft but not coloured, stirring regularly so they don’t brown. Add the rice, stir to coat the grains in the butter, then pour in the wine. Let it almost evaporate, then start to add the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring almost continuously. You will find that the rice will take a good 40min to cook to tenderness – that is,

Continue cooking then, as the rice is almost cooked, add the beans, chopped mint and, if you are using them, the courgette flowers. Check the seasoning, adding black pepper and a little salt (you may not need any salt at all), then stir in the remaining butter and the grated parmesan. Serve in warm shallow bowls, with a little more cheese if you wish.

St Thomas meet Burnside in semis

SPORTS

CBHS to play Nelson in UC champs semi By Gordon Findlater CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High will host Nelson College in the UC Championship semi-final on Saturday as they look to defend their title. CBHS cruised to victory 57-21 in their final round-robin game against Lincoln Combined at the weekend. They previously defeated fourth placed Nelson 13-11 in a tight encounter on June 24. Going into the weekend, CBHS looked odds on to face third placed Timaru Boys’ High in the semi-final. However, St Andrew’s College pulled off a spirited comeback to defeat Nelson 43-42. The win wasn’t enough for fifth placed St Andrew’s to qualify for the top four. They will now turn their attention to the plate competition, played between the fifth to eighth placed finishers. UC Championship semi-finals (home side first): CBHS v Nelson College Christs’ College v TBHS. Plate semi-finals: St Andrew’s v Waimea Combined St Thomas v Rangiora High

By Andrew King ST THOMAS have clinched the minor premiership in the Connetics first XI football competition and will face Burnside High in the semi-final tomorrow afternoon. The two met in round seven with St Thomas coming out on top in that fixture 3-1 at the Christchurch Football Centre, where all league game were played this year. The semi-final will be played at English Park at 4pm. St Thomas coach Richard Washington said it will be a fantastic match to be a part of. “As I have always said, any of the top six sides can beat anybody on the day. Wednesday will be no different and we will have to deliver our best performance to beat a very capable quality side,” he said.

All four teams finished the regular season last week with wins, scoring 18 goals between them. Burnside beat Riccarton High 4-1, St Andrew’s beat Christ’s College 4-0, Cashmere beat Rangiora High 8-0 and St Thomas clinched top spot with a 2-0 win

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

hypothermia and poisonings. The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

Roslyn Eason, fully trained and experienced early childhood teacher, owns and operates Marshlands Nest Early Learning Centre which is an intimate centre with a maximum of 25 children. Roslyn says “Our goal is to create a setting where self-esteem, love, learning and respect for others is prominent and where every child leaves each day feeling secure and loved in their special environment. At Marshlands Nest they create a most positive environment for children so they can learn through all experiences and interactions but most importantly through play.

Portobelo Avonhead Preschool and Nursery A great reputation for exceptional education and care, at 124 Yaldhurst Road. Your baby or toddler will have a special ‘primary care’ teacher who will love and care for them. Our teacher: baby ratios are the best you will find. Older children are supported in skills to become life long, curious learners and problem solvers. Your child will run, climb trees, dig, bike, play with balls, and help tend our edible gardens in our natural backyards. Indoors, children engage purposefully in sustained play as they learn with their friends, following their interests and passions. As they get older, they will join “Kura Club” to ease their journey on to school. “Respect, Responsibility and Community” are key to everything we do in our centre.

They have a mixed licence which means children of different ages play and interact with each other. It allows siblings to be together and gives solo children a chance to be part of a larger family. It also means children do not need to transition between rooms so can stay with the same teachers and children. Marshlands Nest does recognize the need for age specific learning and a portion of each day is spent in ‘nest times” learning with others of the same age. The team at Marshland Nest would love to have you as part of their family, please feel free to drop in or give them a call.

Migraine relief Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck

It’s not very well known that almost 13 percent of people – including childrensuffer from headaches and migraines. It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in the world and causes 91 percent of the people it affects to miss work or reduce their functional capacity. In the past 10 years, the understanding of what causes headaches and migraines has significantly changed. The research now shows that the sensitisation of the brain stem is what

causes this pain; and the specially trained physiotherapists at Muscle People are well versed in how to treat it. Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle People, had this to say about her experience: “My migraines were debilitating and they’d often come without warning. Sometimes once a week, but generally about once a month. I’d moved up from Dunedin where I’d managed them with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In

Christchurch I was so reluctant to let anyone near my neck. I read the article and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I went to the first appointment with a page of all the concerns I had. The first time I met Laurie I remember walking out and feeling more in control. After about four treatments with Laurie and perfecting the technique she taught me I truly began to reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I feel a migraine coming on I now have the control to manage it myself, even stopping them from taking over, without needing someone to drive me in to the osteopath or the hospital for an injection to relieve the pain. With the technique Laurie taught me I’m armed and dangerous!” Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained in Australia in the award winning and ground breaking Watson Approach to dealing with headaches and migraines. This proven method examines and treats the movements of the first three segments of the neck, which when sensitised cause headaches and migraines. “In our clinics we see people from as far away as Invercargill who come to us specially to seek treatment” says Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium in Australia we went to just recently reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we do, and honed our skills even more.”

True

Generally patients will come to our clinic four or five times in the first few weeks of treatment. We show them some very simple exercises to do at home. After the first few weeks, treatment sessions are guided by how the patient is feeling. “Often patients come to us at the end of a long journey having tried quite a few other treatments, and we are able to help them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie says.

HOME & HEATING

Get rid of dampness in your house

Now wITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team

understands the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our New Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more information.

The facts about home ventilation Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure Under the New Zealand Building Code, all buildings, including residential, need to be suitably ventilated, either with opening windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this provision is to safeguard people from illness or loss of amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced, or mechanical, ventilation over opening windows, including warmth, security, reduction of outside noises and reduction of condensation. Traditional domestic ventilation systems are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from outside via the roof space and force the stale air out through gaps around windows and doors. The incoming air from these systems has to be heated or cooled to keep the house warm in winter or cool in summer. The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It extracts air from the house and at the same time brings in fresh air. These two streams of air pass through a heat exchanger, which warms incoming air in winter and cools in summer if air conditioning is being used. This means that up to 80% of the energy which would be

nsfe a r T at

wasted using a traditional positive pressure system is recovered, resulting in significant energy savings and therefore lower heating or cooling costs. Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation systems have been considerably more expensive than traditional positive pressure systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 balanced pressure system can be installed for a similar price as a traditional positive pressure system.
