WISH COME TRUE

Elderly man in comaafter mall attack

BY KYLE KNOWLES

The elderly man allegedly beaten up in New Brighton mall was still in an induced coma on Friday.

Ken Chappell (left), 73, who is from Dunedin, suffered serious head injuries including four bro-ken bones and has had surgery to fix bones in the back of his neck and his temple.

His alleged attacker, 19-year-

old Resham Toa Blake-Faatafa appeared in the district court the day after the attack charged with two counts of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm to Mr Chap-pell.

The attack happened about 2am on July 15.

Mr Chappell’s friend, Bon Suter, has been to see him in Christchurch Hospital. She said doctors have tried to bring him out of the coma but each time they

have attempted to do that they have been unable to.

Ms Suter said it does not appear he is paralysed but the doctors could not yet rule out brain dam-age.

He needs assistance to breathe.Mr Chappell was staying with

Ms Suter, before he was due to return to Dunedin last week.

He often took night walks be-cause he could not sleep.

The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team is continuing its horizontal infrastructure work across the city with a number of new works about to begin in the eastern suburbs.

Mattingley St, AranuiThere were eight trees removed from a

city council-owned grass area on the side of Mattingley St, for City Care to install new vacuum wastewater chambers and pipework. The tree species removed were silver birch and she oak. The trees will be replaced with green glow after all construc-tion work of the wastewater system is com-plete which is expected to be later this year.

Ventnor Crescent, AranuiA vacuum wastewater system is currently

being installed. This is to replace the dam-aged gravity wastewater system. Work was expected to start this week to install three vacuum wastewater chambers along Ventnor Crescent. SCIRT expects all of this work to take about eight weeks to finish. Work will also be under way to install the public sections of the wastewater laterals, from the collection chambers to the property bound-ary. Once the vacuum wastewater collection chambers have been installed, SCIRT will be installing the vacuum wastewater mainline pipe. The work is expected to be under way in the week of August 10.

Rue de la Mare, ParklandsA road closure will be in place on Rue

de la Mare between property No 21 and

property No 31 from Thursday (July 27) for about a week. Residents will need to park outside of the work area for the duration of the work. Resident access to the northern section of the cul-de-sac will be maintained out of work hours (7am to 6pm). Parking on the street will not be available imme-diately next to the work area. Look out for changed traffic conditions and follow on-street signage.

McGregors Rd, BromleyA notice which was sent out to residents

of McGregors and Keighleys Rds on July 8, saying two-way traffic would be main-tained for the duration of wastewater main work on the street. This will now have to be a progressive road closure. The extent of earthquake damage to the wastewater main is greater than first expected. Work will now be carried out in four stages and will result in temporary road closures for each stage. Stage one of work will take place be-tween numbers 1 and 11 Keighleys Rd, and will begin on Wednesday, for about a week. Stages two, three and four will follow.

MORE TO COME: More roadworks are planned to start in Bromley, Aranui and Parklands.

My Girl Lola

&McMaster HeapVeterinary practice

In my line of work, occasionally I am the bearer of bad news to clients but very rarely am I on the receiving end, which I can tell you hurts deep.

Recently my loving, loyal friend “Lola” was diagnosed with a primary malignant kidney tumour, purely by chance. She is a five year old black Labrador, huntaway cross who has always had excellent health, except for occasional cracked pads. She was completely symptom free, spending hours walking, playing with the boys and running with Steve in the hills. She always ate ravenously everything given to her, drinking was normal and she never appeared in pain.

One evening after being out in the Cashmere hills with Steve, she started vomiting. We suspected garbage as she runs off the lead, and being a Labrador has an incredible nose for discarded food. We whisked her to work late that night to receive intravenous fluids and medications to help her nausea and vomiting. We radiographed her abdomen just to rule out a bone obstruction, not that she gets bones from us, but she has a great nose for hunting them out. That’s when we saw a huge circular mass in her cranial abdomen.

My heart sank – I knew this wasn’t her stomach but I couldn’t believe she’d have a tumour as she had appeared so well and was so young.

Catherine was called in on her day off

to ultrasound Lola. My worst fears were realized. It appeared to be a large tumour and Catherine thought it was involving her left kidney. Within 24 hours she was at St Georges awaiting a CT scan to rule out spread of the tumour to other parts of her body. She was amazing – she knew I was sad and she was so well behaved. She also knew she was in trouble as she let Steve and I just take care of her. She was sedated to be CT scanned and unfortunately the left kidney had a massive tumour associated with it but luckily no further tumour spread could be seen.

She needed urgent surgery and Steve and myself felt we couldn’t operate on her. We called upon Damien at Vetspecs, who was just brilliant and Lola really trusted him. The surgery took approximately two hours and Lola was a true star. The surgeon had completely removed the diseased cancerous left kidney and a lymph node close by just in case the cancer had spread there. Lola’s cancer was a rare Leiomyosarcoma with the potential to metastasize. Lola was so incredibly brave and even though she was sore (her surgical

cut was about 40cm long), she still tried to act normally at home and at the clinic. She wasn’t great at being looked after as she was always looking after all of us. She was allowed on any sofa or chair and had complete access to everywhere in our house – even the Abbysinnians cut her slack.

Lola is now undergoing six sessions of chemotherapy three weeks apart, just in case there are cancerous cells lurking in her bloodstream. Sarah is Lola’s chemotherapy nurse who administers her drugs intravenously every Wednesday. Sarah worked in a Specialist Oncology small animal clinic in Melbourne, so is professional and skilled at administering

these drugs. After her first t r e a t m e n t she was really unwell, even refusing food but now we have a regime of medications to help her feel better after the drugs are administered. Sarah checks

her hemogram (checking her red and white blood cells) before and after every treatment. We also need to check her

kidney enzymes regularly as she only has one kidney now. I’m feeding her a lower protein kidney diet just to support her remaining kidney especially during her chemotherapy.

I feel so fortunate we found this tumour in time. It could have gone un-noticed for months until it was too late to save her. She is an amazing family member, special friend and companion to so many patients that walk through our doors. It would be true to say she is adored and loved by hundreds of clients and has way more friends than Steve and I according to Facebook. If she could speak she’d want to live as long as she could with us all, so chemotherapy is the only way forward. I will keep you posted on her progress and thank you to all my special clients and our amazing staff who have been concerned for Lola and I.

The pier has again been the target of vandals.

About eight lights which line the pier were damaged last week.

The tops of the poles were knocked off with wires hanging out and dangling from the pole.

Salt on the Pier manager, Cheryl King, said it was annoying seeing the pier targeted again.

“It is very annoying, it is pretty dark for our customers walking back to their the cars and I don’t think the CCTV cameras are pointing down that way.”

A city council spokeswoman said they had not yet been re-paired but it was on their high priority list.

She said the contractor was waiting for a price from a supplier for the replacement lights before the repair could take place.

Burwood-Pegasus Community Board member Tim Sintes said it was fantastic the city council were onto it so quickly but said something had to be done about the pier permanently.

He held a meeting last week with various parties which hold an interest in the pier includ-ing city council staff, police and representative from the Chinese community.

“The way I’m thinking is the whole issue on the pier has to be sorted. In the mid-90s all these

problems were there and have not gone away. Everyone worked so hard to get the pier in the first place so when I get people coming up to me saying they wouldn’t have wanted the pier if they knew it was going to be like this, it’s not good enough”.

He said he will continue to talk with the community and will look

for some solutions to issues on the pier including fishers adhering to the rules, general upkeep and the vandalism.

Last year glass balustrades that line the beginning of the pier were smashed along with two windows of the New Brighton Library which resulted in $40,000 damage.

Vandals target pier again

DAMAGE: The pier which had some of its lights vandalised last week. Inset: Tim Sintes.

▌▌ IN BRIEFParking decisionParking restrictions were approved for the parking bay outside the Burwood Foodmarket by the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board last Monday. The owner of the dairy was fed up with people parking there all day with no parking for his customers. He believed it was construction workers from the Burwood Hospital redevelopment using the parks all day. Motorists will now only be able to park for a maximum of 10min outside the dairy.

Scrub fireFirefighters believe a scrub fire at Southshore last Thursday could have been deliberately lit. The 30 sq m fire started near Mer-maid Pl. It was put out by fire-fighters from the New Brighton and Wainoni brigades at about 5pm.

Community eventsTe Waka Aroha South Brighton has a number of community events coming up at the South Brighton Community Centre, Beatty St. The first is a clothing sale tomorrow between 6.30-8pm.

Dallas Wichman is putting his running shoes away after taking up the role of principal at St Anne’s Catholic School.

The 34-year-old represented New Zealand in Italy last year at the World Mountain Running Championships where his team placed 12th.

The race involved running about 14km, climbing about 1400m up to marble fields in Casette di Massa, Tuscany.

But last Monday marked his first day as principal of the Woolston school – and his first full-time principalship.

“I’m putting running on the back-burner a bit while I sort out principalship.”

Mr Wichman took over from former principal Peter Callanan, who retired after 24 years at the school at the end of last year.

The school held a powhiri to welcome him on his first day, and Mr Callanan also attended.

“I was definitely nervous, it is a bit scary coming to a new place.”

Raised and schooled in Christ-church, he has taught at Chis-nallwood Intermediate School, St Bede’s College, and was the acting principal at St Joseph’s School in Rangiora.

All Catholic schools are quite close to one another, so he had some St Anne’s staff before start-ing.

St Anne’s has a roll of about 115 with five teachers, which is similar

to St Joseph’s.Mr Wichman said the smaller

school suited him, because he was able to get to know the pupils and staff easily.

“I’m very motivated at what I do, I have targets for everything I do in life.”

His goal was to continue the great atmosphere that the school had, and keep its strong values.

“I am passionate about Catholic education and a values enriched environment. I am also very pas-sionate about innovative, engaging and authentic teaching and learn-ing.”

Change of pace for St Anne’s principalNEW BEGINNINGS: Dallas Wichman is the new principal of St Anne’s Catholic School in Woolston.

A new road between Vivian St and Kingsbridge West in Burwood, will not be called Blom Way.

The city council came up with the name Blom Way due to the Blom family which owned prop-erty in the original subdivision in the area.

After consultation on the name however, residents said they would rather see the access road be an extension of Kingsbridge West.

Burwood East Residents Asso-ciation chairwoman Sarah Barnes said it was good the city council had listened to residents on the name.

“I just think they felt a stronger connection to Kingsbridge, there’s a Kingsbridge West and Kings-bridge Way.

“The residents association is

very pleased with the consultation process and outcome regarding the naming of the new access way undertaken by the city council.

“There wasn’t any particular issue as such with Blom Way but they just preferred Kingsbridge.”

In order to build the road, the city council and the Crown had to buy the property at 11 Vivian St for $410,000 and the empty section at 21 Kingsbridge West for $140,000 – a total of $550,000.

The road will provide easier access between Vivian St and the Kingsbridge subdivision and is being paid for jointly by the city council and the Crown.

The only current access to the subdivision is along Stour Drive which is in the red zone.

A further $300,000 is budgeted for the construction of the road which is due to begin next month.

NEW: The land where a new access road will be built, it will be an extension of Kingsbridge West.

Access way will not be named Blom Way

Surfing is about to become a lot easier in New Brighton. Surfing the web that is.

In the next week shoppers will be able to tweet, update their Facebook and Instagram their food all for free using a new WiFi network.

The Strategic Urban Renewal Force has teamed up with inter-net provider, Snap, and WiFi spe-cialists, the WiFi Guys, to deliver the free internet access.

The equipment is being in-stalled tomorrow, July 28, with testing to be conducted.

It is hoped it will be ready for the public to use in the next week.

SURF chairwoman, Lesley Fulton, said getting a lot of the hardware and the broadband provided was a massive help which would have coast tens of thousands of dollars to set up and maintain.

“Then there’s the tourist side of things, New Brighton is getting a very cool website in October and that will link to the free WiFi so people can see what’s going on, tourists or someone that’s new to the area can find out about New Brighton.”

It is hoped it will be used as part of educational courses in

the mall too.She said this was a pilot project

and will be further developed in partnership with the com-munity.

Ms Fulton said the WiFi will be available from Carnaby Lane down to the New Brighton Library and a part of Oram Ave.

She said it was a plus for the businesses in the mall.

“That’s it, the whole plan was around working with business who can promote their stuff during the day by using the WiFi, if they have a deal going or a special they can put it on Facebook.”

The start-up cost has only been about $2000 and Snap will

provide the broadband free of charge.

New Brighton Business and Landowners Association manager Paul Zaanen (right) said it was a brilliant idea and was only a positive for New Brighton.

“It’s another thing to keep people engaged, with logging on to the free WiFi, it will take them to the homepage of New Brighton.

“I’ll use it, I’m lucky enough to know a couple of the passwords for other networks around the place but I’ll be the first person to use this.”

Free WiFi service at New Brighton mall

CONNECTED: Free internet access will be available in New Brighton mall.

Shirley Boys’ High’s colts rugby side toured Australia in the school holidays and were one good game away from bringing back some silverware.

They made it through to the final of the under-16 section of the Gold Coast Rugby Carnival against Sydney’s Scots College, but after being up 11-0 leaked three quick tries to go down 17-11 and finish runners-up.

In pool play the side defeated Toowoomba Grammar School, St Joseph’s Terrace Grammar of Brisbane and lost to fellow New Zealand side, Te Aroha College.

In their semi-final they defeated Toowoomba Grammar again.

The World Sport Carnival was celebrating its 25th anniversary and featured 60 teams from across Australasia.

It was the first time Shirley Boys’ had been to the tournament in a long time. They now hope to make it a regular part of their rugby programme.

The colts side was assembled from four different teams, with only a short training period.

Shirley Boys’ principal John Laurenson was also on the Gold Coast to support the side and said the team did very well in the warm temperatures of 21-22 deg C.

The carnival also consists of netball, rugby league and football tournaments which are held at various times throughout the year.

Other New Zealand sides in the rugby competition included Ma-hurangi College, Rotorua Boys’ High School and Waihi College from the North Island.

GRASSROOTS SPORT

BY FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Coastal Spirit’s Britneylee Nicholson won the golden boot award at the National Youth Futsal Championships in Wellington during the school holidays.

She scored 14 goals in six games, securing Canterbury’s under-15 Mainland futsal side the national youth title for 2015.

She believes she could be in line for a call-up to trial for the New Zealand futsal women’s squad later in the year.

“Yeah, definitely I think I could, and I’d like to . . . hope-fully I can play for New Zealand one day,” Britneylee said.

She has come within a goal of winning a golden boot award before, while playing for her school, but never won it before now.

“I came close for STAC (St Andrew’s College) in the national secondary schools tournament which we won; yeah, I missed out by one goal in that tournament – I was a bit gutted.”

Mainland beat Auckland 4-2

in the final, after seeing off stern competition from other teams like Hawke’s Bay, Waikato/Bay of Plenty and tying with Wel-lington in group play.

At 15-years-old, the St Andrew’s year 11 student has shown her potential to get all the way to the top.

Britneylee said: “Futsal is still growing in New Zealand, so hopefully it will keep growing and it can become a profes-sional sport for girls to play as well as boys.”

As well as being a talented futsal player, she also excels at outdoor football, winning the women’s premier league last on July 18.

“I’m playing for Coastal Spirit, for their premier team, which is awesome. I really love it.”

Other Canterbury sides also had a successful week at the national youth championships with the under-14 and under-16 boys both winning their com-petitions.

The under-14 boys thrashed Capital 8-2 and the under-16s beat Waikato 3-0 in their respective finals.

STAR: Britneylee Nicholson with the golden boot award and the team’s trophy for winning the national under-15 futsal championships.

Citizens Advice Bureau and Community Law Canterbury are working together to pro-vide a free legal advice clinic.

“Increasingly we are finding that we are dealing with clients who have high and complex needs. Clients not only need assistance with legal informa-tion but they are also seeking assistance on where to go to get access to support services,” said Citizens Advice Bureau chairman, Neil Lancaster.

The partnership between Community Law Canterbury and CAB came about as a result of both groups looking at how they could work collab-oratively together to meet the needs of clients.

“We are hoping that this new clinic will act like a “one-stop shop” where clients can have their legal issues assessed and at the same time be referred back to CAB for additional support if needed,” said Mr Lancaster.

“We have a great group of well-trained volunteers who

are here to help, and have access to huge information resources including a referral database. So if we don’t have the answer we will be able to point you to someone that does,” said CAB manager, Mollie Howarth.

You can visit the city branch on the corner of Ferry Rd and Williams St or phone 0800 FOR CAB (0800 367 222) and help will be provided. The clinic will operate every Tues-day 1-2pm from July 21.

CAB is an independent community organisation offering a free, confidential and independent service of information, assistance and re-ferral from three Christchurch locations.

Community Law Canter-bury is a non-profit organisa-tion which works to reduce and remove barriers to the law. It provides quality, free legal help to people in Canterbury who face barriers in accessing justice. Phone 366 6870 for assistance.

Hi Tim, tell us a bit about what you do day to day, what is the job?

I am the general manager of community rugby so that means I look after everything from under-6s right through to senior rugby. There is about 14,500 players, 1500 coaches and a couple of hundred referees. We work with three regions: Ellesmere, North Canterbury and Metropolitan. I deal with a lot at the regional level and also help out with coach

and referee education.Why did you get into rugby

management?Got involved initially contract-

ing through Canterbury Rugby Football Union. From there I was involved in club planning projects and then the role came up and I jumped in and the rest is history.Are you from Christchurch?

I was born in Dunedin but moved away quite young. I lived in Auckland until I was 15, then moved down to Lower Hutt. I came to Canterbury

not long after that and now I have spent more years down here than anywhere.

Did you play rugby?I did play rugby. From under-5s right through post-

school. I started with the College Rifles in Auckland. I played all my school rugby in Auckland with Gram-mar then Hutt Valley High after the age of 15.

What position did you play?I was mainly a tight head prop. Once I got a bit taller

I played a bit of lock but I played prop most of the time.Did you ever dream of becoming an All Black?Yeah, like most kids. You try to aspire to that.

Starts getting a bit narrow at the top though.Who is your team?I am definitely a red and black man so it’s Canter-

bury all the way. I’ve have supported them for many, many years.

Do you enjoy working with the CRFU?Absolutely, wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. It is great to

work with sport. I deal with a wide variety of people and there are so many interesting aspects to the role.

What do you enjoy about it?The satisfaction of knowing we are providing a

lot of rugby to lots of people. We are one of New Zealand’s proudest rugby provinces. As a region, we punch well above our weight when it comes to the number of All Blacks produced and those sort of things. We are one of the leading provinces in rugby.

How do you see progression through the grass-roots to top level?

It’s up to us to have a strong community game. We have to provide a level of competition that allows those in the lower levels to kick on and play profes-sional rugby. We do that through good player devel-opment, good coaching, and good officiating.

Canterbury rugby runningIf we can get all those aspects

right, then it will naturally lead to talent coming through. Keeping the engine room running is our job to make sure we can allow those players to progress to higher levels.

What is it about commu-nity rugby that you think keeps people coming back week in week out?

People get involved for one reason. Enjoyment. It’s a level of camaraderie, the nature of the game and people enjoy the con-tact aspect. There is so much you can do with the game. The chal-lenges are great and rewarding when overcome. And the game is fun that naturally attracts people to it and stay in it.

How is the state of the game, sideline behaviour?

The overall comment is that we are in reasonably good heart, we are growing the game. We lost player numbers during the earthquakes but it has bounced back. The sideline is challenging, we are working hard in this area. All sports see bad behaviour at one point or another. We have some good programmes in place to change it but at the end of the day we are dealing with the public and some people just don’t know how to behave themselves.

Kids are there for the fun and don’t enjoy the negativity on or off the field and ultimately that is what either makes it or breaks it for them. No one enjoys negativ-ity around the game.

What is your favourite rugby moment?

It’s an interesting one. It was when all the metro clubs got together after the February earthquake. Things were in complete disarray. But there was a collective determination to pick ourselves up and continue on. We decided the best thing we could do was keep going with the Saturday games. It was a true testament to the importance of the game.

We saw how important it was to have some normality in life. They could just go out and play a game of footy in spite of the liquefaction all over the fields and other prob-lems that we had to get around. We had a collective will to get on with it.

Do you have a favourite player?

There is so many that could be a favourite, I don’t normally single one out.

How about an all-time favou-rite player?

I think Richie [Richie McCaw] is up there. He has contributed so much to the game, his longevity and leadership have been so great.

When did you start watching rugby?

I started watching when I was a kid around five-years-old, basically right from day one. The Lions tours were always special for me.

What do you do outside of rugby?

All of winter I’m at rugby so that takes up around half of the

year. My activities involve walking around the Port Hills, which are basically in my backyard since I live in Sumner. I am a keen salmon fisherman and I try to get out around a variety of rivers in Canterbury, it is a pretty special part of the world and it is great to get out there and get amongst it.

Now for the big question everyone wants to know, who is going to win the World Cup?

I think the All Blacks with the quality they have in the side, they have to go in as favourites. It will be interesting to see how we go over the next few months. You can never write of sides like France or the Wallabies, but I think with the side we have and the coaching staff we have, we should get the job done.

BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Late November last year I wrote about a fire in an auto dismantlers, where the management and staff were working the next day as if nothing had happened.

That was because their building was covered by a sprinkler system. This had put the fire out and only left the one wrecked car with fire damage.

This week, another auto dis-mantlers went on fire while the staff were working there. This was in Francella St, Bromley, on Mon-day afternoon.

This time the premises and contents were severely damaged. I imagine it will be weeks before the business is up and running again.

Two buildings with similar occupancies both on fire. The difference is the extent of dam-age. The reason was the sprinkler system. This is why we never give up in advocating the installation of a sprinkler in every building, including private homes.

There were three kitchen fires this week. All involved unattended cooking. Two of them resulted in smoke inhalation either dealt with at the scene by ambulance or in hospital. All of them were avoidable. By ‘looking when you’re cooking’.

Dentures Plus specialises in all aspects of denture work, from making and fitting for first-time wearers, relining, which is done

after the first few months to make sure the

new dentures are fitting correctly, through to providing dentures that clip on to implants and full replacement dentures.

People need to have their teeth removed and dentures fitted for a variety of reasons,

Ryan says. It can be following an accident or due to illness, general tooth decay or a hereditary condition.

Patients can approach Dentures Plus directly, who will either recommend a dentist for the extraction or contact the patient’s own dentist. The dentures are made up before the dentist extracts the teeth as this helps the mouth heal faster. The whole process of getting dentures takes quite a few months as they need time to settle, and the professional approach taken by Ryan and his staff ensures that it goes as smoothly as possible.

These excerpts from a recent, unsolicited testimonial from patient Don illustrate that: “I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the job you did in creating dentures for me that look like my natural teeth, which, in my opinion, ‘was no mean feat’ given the state of my own teeth and gums when I first visited you on the recommendation of my dentist.

“When I left your surgery after my first consultation, I felt both confident and trusting in your ability and skill. We established a rapport over the next few weeks that had me thinking of you as a friend as well as a skilled and competent professional.

“One of the many attributes you displayed was your total focus on me, my problem,

and your ability to diagnose and provide a solution in the five to 10 minutes that I would be in your surgery. Your support and after-care has been excellent.”

Tinnitus and hearing loss often occur together. Tinnitus is a buzzing, ringing, chirping sound in your ears or head that cannot

be heard by anyone else. About 90 per cent of tinnitus sufferers experience some degree of hearing loss. Some people blame tinnitus as the reason they can’t hear when their hearing difficulties are actually due to hearing loss. Hearing loss and tinnitus can reduce your enjoyment of life and impact the lives of those around you. Friends or family members may notice hearing loss before the person is aware of it themselves. Often, aiding your hearing will help your tinnitus. Your brain has other sounds

Does tinnitus or hearing loss affect you?”

to listen to, making your tinnitus less noticeable. Addressing hearing loss can help strengthen communication and maintain important relationships.

What can be done about tinnitus if you don’t have hearing loss? The internet is full of information and misinformation about various treatments but the most effective management treatment is Sound Therapy, says Carolyn Gordon at Gordon & Till Audiology. Sound therapy involves a combination of enriching the sound environment and counselling.

Dealing with tinnitus and hearing loss has other health benefits. Untreated hearing loss is linked with fatigue, avoidance/

withdrawal from social events, decreased brain volume and dementia. Hearing aids may even help to prevent many of these problems developing in later life, but it is important to act early. With today’s discrete hearing technology, getting the help you deserve could not be easier.

Carolyn Gordon and Carolyn Till of Gordon & Till Audiology are friendly, independent audiologists who have helped many people with tinnitus and hearing loss.

Gayle Crocker, a receptionist, says “….. a diagnosis of tinnitus is not a hopeless one. I have found the whole experience with Gordon & Till Audiology wonderful. I felt understood, supported and ultimately I now feel normal.”

Gordon & Till Audiology are offering free hearing and Tinnitus screening and advice until the end of August. Phone 385 6036. No referral is needed.

Gordon & Till Audiology is located at 701 Barbadoes Street, St Albans where there is plenty of off street parking. Phone 385 6036. Visit the website at www.gtaudiology.co.nz for further information.

Our easygoing Kiwi nature and “she’ll be right attitude” could prove deadly when it comes to dealing with symptoms of a heart attack.

New research by the Heart Foundation has found that this re-laxed attitude is one reason many New Zealanders delay getting help and risk missing out on potentially life-saving treatment.

The survey of 1422 people shows this “she’ll be right attitude”, concerns about the cost of an ambulance and medical care, and a “fatalistic view that this is meant to happen” are why people delay medical treatment.

But more than one New Zea-lander dies because of heart dis-ease every 90 minutes, says Heart Foundation medical director Dr

Gerry Devlin.“Many of these deaths are pre-

mature and preventable,” he says. “It’s as if people are looking for someone to tell them it’s okay to call for help.”

Past research shows many New Zealanders, he says, take too long to seek medical attention, when they or someone nearby presents

with symptoms of a heart attack. Those most likely to delay seeking help are women and those of low socio-economic status.

Signs of a heart attack include chest discomfort, pain in the jaw, shoulders or back, excessive sweating, shortness of breath and nausea.

Symptoms are not always obvi-

ous, Dr Devlin says, but the key thing is chest discomfort, which can be heaviness or tightness, in particular when associated with exercise.

“If you get prolonged discom-fort that lasts for greater than 15 minutes, dial 111.”

But anyone experiencing inter-mittent discomfort, in particular if associated with exercise, should contact their doctor.

“The quicker someone gets treatment, the quicker blood flow can be restored to the arteries, re-ducing the amount of damage and increasing the chance of survival.

“Ideally, we need patients to be receiving life-saving medical care within 60 minutes of the onset of symptoms, not six hours later or the next day.”

HEALTH

Taking steps to improve your mental and physical well-being may fall flat if you’re not spend-ing enough time recharging your body. Sleep experts agree: ade-quate, regular sleep is essential for overall health and well-being.

According to a new recommen-dation from the American Acad-emy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society, adults should get seven or more hours of sleep a night to avoid the health risks associated with prolonged periods of inadequate sleep.

For those who do not make regular sleep a priority, this guidance can motivate healthier lifestyle habits.

“Sleep is critical to health, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise,” says Dr Nathaniel F. Watson, AASM president and moderator of the expert panel that developed the recommendation. “Our consensus panel of 15 of the nation’s top sleep experts found that sleeping six or fewer hours per night is inadequate to sustain

health and safety in adults. We also agreed that seven or more hours of sleep per night is the recommend-ed amount for all healthy adults.”

No limit for certain individuals

Recognising that some adults

need more sleep than others, the panel did not place a limit on how much sleep people should get. For example, people who may need nine or more hours of nightly sleep include young adults with growing bodies, individuals trying to make up for lost sleep, or those

who are sick.“More than a third of the popu-

lation is not getting enough sleep, so the focus needs to be on getting at least seven hours of nightly sleep,” added Watson. “In general we want people to get more sleep, not less.”

Tips for successful sleepWhat are some easy ways to

ensure that you get the sleep you need for a productive and healthy life?

Check out these healthy sleep habits.

Following these tips can help you develop a healthy sleep pat-tern:

•Be consistent. Go to bed when you are sleepy and try to wake at the same time every day, even on weekends.

•Limit time in bed. Don’t use your bed for other non-sleep activ-ities, such as watching television or checking email.

•Make your bedroom a sleep ha-ven. A quiet and relaxing bedroom environment will help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Keep the bedroom at a comfortable tem-perature but slightly cool.

•Limit caffeine. Avoid coffee, tea, soda and other caffeine sources in the afternoon and evening hours.

•Get at least seven hours. Go to bed early enough to allow yourself to sleep seven hours or more each and every night.

Live life awake and refreshed with the proper amount of sleep. You’ll be putting your best foot forward every morning.

"There has beena tidal wave ofgluten-freeproducts comingon to the marketin recent yearsand many peoplehave been caughtin the wash asthey search for ahealthier diet."ResearcherDr JasonWu,

Just because a food product isgluten-free doesn’t mean it’shealthier, says an Australianstudy of more than 3200 gluten-free supermarket products.The study found little or no

difference in their nutritionalvalue comparedwith standarditems.“There has been a tidal wave

of gluten-free products comingon to themarket in recent yearsandmany people have beencaught in the wash as theysearch for a healthier diet,” sayslead author Dr JasonWu, fromthe George Institute for GlobalHealth and the University ofSydney.“The foods can be

significantlymore expensiveand are very trendy to eat, butwe discovered a negligibledifference when looking at theiroverall nutrition. Gluten-freeproducts are necessary forpeople with coeliac disease, butthis information is importantbecause of their broader use inthe community.”Nutritionist Dr Rosemary

Stanton agrees, sayingmanypeople think if a product isgluten-free it must be all rightbut “gluten-free junk food is stilljunk food”.“Just about every junk food

in the book these days has agluten-free version,” she says.“It is interesting to look at

some of the foodmarketingmagazines, which promotegluten-free versions as a greatway to increase your business,”

Stanton says.The research, published in

theBritish Journal of Nutrition,compared the nutritionalcontent in foods such as breadand pasta that were staples in abalanced diet, as well as junkfoods such as potato chips,biscuits and lollies.“In the core foods we found

significantly lower levels ofprotein in gluten-free foods, butthe remaining content such assugar and sodiumwas actuallyvery similar,”Wu says.The researchers said that

fancy labels on gluten-free foodshave the potential to be used as amarketing tactic, even onproducts that traditionally don’thave any gluten in themanyway.

Know the symptoms and save a lifeSigns of a heartattack:■ Pain in the jaw, shouldersor back■ Excessive sweating■ Shortness of breath■ Nausea■ Chest discomfortthinkstock

Our easygoing Kiwi nature and“she’ll be right attitude” couldprove deadly when it comes todealing with symptoms of aheart attack.New research by the Heart

Foundation has found that thisrelaxed attitude is one reasonmanyNewZealanders delaygetting help and riskmissing outon potentially life-savingtreatment.The survey of 1422 people

shows this “she’ll be rightattitude”, concerns about thecost of an ambulance andmedical care, and a “fatalisticview that this is meant tohappen” are why people delaymedical treatment.But more than one New

Zealander dies because of heartdisease every 90minutes, saysHeart Foundationmedicaldirector Dr Gerry Devlin.“Many of these deaths are

premature and preventable,” hesays. “It’s as if people arelooking for someone to tell themit’s okay to call for help.”Past research showsmany

NewZealanders, he says, taketoo long to seekmedicalattention, when they or someone

nearby presents with symptomsof a heart attack. Thosemostlikely to delay seeking help arewomen and those of low socio-economic status.Signs of a heart attack

include chest discomfort, pain inthe jaw, shoulders or back,excessive sweating, shortness ofbreath and nausea.Symptoms are not always

obvious, Dr Devlin says, but thekey thing is chest discomfort,

which can be heaviness ortightness, in particular whenassociated with exercise.“If you get prolonged

discomfort that lasts for greaterthan 15minutes, dial 111.”But anyone experiencing

intermittent discomfort, inparticular if associated withexercise, should contact theirdoctor.“The quicker someone gets

treatment, the quicker blood

flow can be restored to thearteries, reducing the amount ofdamage and increasing thechance of survival.“Ideally, we need patients to

be receiving life-savingmedicalcare within 60minutes of theonset of symptoms, not six hourslater or the next day.”

What to do:

■ If chest discomfort lastsfor longer than 15 minutescall 111■ If discomfort isintermittent contact yourdoctor

DISCOMFORT: Seek medical attention if you have chest pains.

Congratulations to the students who completed a 65 km Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award Expedition in June on the hills of the Banks Peninsula. The Expedition was facilitated by the Joshua Foundation, who have worked with Linwood College for the past eight years.

Shakani Tupuailei (Year 12) was selected to play for the East in an ‘All-Star East versus West’ game along with the best basketball players in Christchurch under the brilliant coach Pina Lissaman (Avonside Girls, St. Andrews College.) This game was a curtain raiser for the Canterbury Rams final home game at Cowles Stadium.

On 25 June we were fortunate enough to have NZ XFactor Finalist, Stevie Tonks perform at Linwood College. Accompanying him was Marley Nanai-Wilcox with the Moorhouse Dance Studio (also an XFactor contestant, with Nathan Phillips on vocals.)Stevie truly believes in the healing power of music and he wants us to do the same. His message to us all is, ‘Dare to dream, dare to change the World.’

The Dessert Nights held in our restaurant this term were equal to the city’s best. Year 13 students did the catering, while Year 12 students managed the front of house service. Guests had to book in early; so book now for the three course meal in September.

Jos van Olst and Niall Fanning (Year 13) present their business plan for their website design company, while Charlie Kavanagh, Jacob McHutchison, Jordan Bower, Gideon Smith and Rukshad Ali present their business plan for DomePhones, an import and distribution company.

Angel Lintott, Rajnita Prakash and Molly Barnett (Year 12) have started a charity that collects money to supply bouquets of flowers which they deliver to the elderly in rest homes. A website www.fullbloomtrust.co.nz has been set up to collect donations, having teamed up with Aromaunga Baxters in Heathcote Valley.

“AMAZING! Well done crew! Another really successful Dessert Evening! We had one of each plate at our table and the feedback was consistent… absolutely delicious!”

Our Students reflecting Our Values – curiosity, honesty, respect

Dear Linwood College

I felt compelled to write to you after my experience while coaching and umpiring a Netball game last Wednesday

between the Rangi and your Linwood Senior team.

I have to say the whole team were an absolute delight however, it was the attitude and behaviour of the boys that

most impressed! They not only played with enthusiasm and considerable flair, they were also respectful of their

team-mates, their opposition and of me as the umpire. If ever one of the girls stumbled they were quick to assist,

and this was in a way that seemed natural, not contrived or mocking. The game was played in good spirits for the

whole forty minutes and whilst Rangi came out the victors the game was such a pleasurable experience for them

the result didn’t really seem to matter! From my perspective as the umpire they were a pleasure to manage.

This team, and in particular these three boys, were wonderful role models for your school. It gives me great

pleasure to share this feedback with you. Too often all we hear about our kids are the negative bits!

Yours sincerely Jo Fogarty, Director of Sport

Physics Trip

The Linwood College Year 12 Physics group spent a scintillating day at the relocated ‘Rutherford Den’ performing modern Physics tasks in a controlled environment with several staff from the University of Canterbury. Feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive and they all want to become particle physicists.

Spice up meals with taste of Turkish

LAMB COOKED IN YOGHURT & CUMIN SEEDS Serves 8Based on a recipe from Turkish Fire

3 tbsp cumin seeds 1 tbsp each: chilli flakes, flaky sea salt 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1.5kg boned and rolled lamb shoulder 1 cup plain Greek yoghurt ⅓ cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 160 deg C. Lightly toast cumin seeds.

Combine with chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Rub the lamb with yo-ghurt pushing it into any crevices. Sprinkle with combined spices. Wrap securely in foil. Place in roasting pan and cook for 2 and ½ hours, until very tender. Remove from oven, cover with a towel and rest for 20 minutes.

Place meat on a platter and, using 2 forks, pull meat apart.

Great served with burghul salad and mint salad. Or Turkish bread.

MINT & PARSLEY SALAD Use flat-leaf parsley for best flavour. Serves 4

4 medium tomatoes, diced 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 2-3 tbsp sumac Sea salt to taste 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 cup each: mint leaves, flat leaf parsley

Combine the tomatoes, red onion, sumac, salt and olive oil in a bowl. Just before serving add the mint and parsley leaves.

On a recent trip to Turkey I spent a couple of days exploring the spice alleys

and sampling the street food of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

I’m now an avid fan of Turkish fare. So when I received Turkish Fire, a cookbook of street food and barbe-cue recipes, I was entranced not only with the recipes but the background of the author, Sevtap Yuce.

Sevtap grew up in Ankara and the story of her early life brought tears to my eyes but thankfully there is a happy ending. She mar-ried and now lives in Australia. Sevtap trained with renowned chef Bill Granger in Sydney and now runs a successful cafe, Beach-wood, in the northern rivers area of New South Wales at Yamba. Her story is well worth reading.

I’m enjoying adding new Turk-ish delights to my repertoire. But, being the sort of cook I am, I can’t help adding my own little innovations. This sometimes hap-pens because of the difference in even basic ingredients between countries. For example, the type of flour we have in New Zealand is different to flours in other

countries, which absorb more or less water.

Flavoursome ingredients used in Turkish recipes include:

Sumac: Prepared from a red-dish-purple berry with a slightly astringent, lemon flavour. The seeds are dried and finely crushed and add flavour and colour to rice, vegetable dishes, fish and meats.

Nigella seeds: Little black seeds with a slightly bitter taste, a combo of black pepper, oregano and onions. Excellent in vegetable dishes, sprinkled on breads or with curries.

Cumin: Aromatic and with a distinctive flavour, cumin should be used sparingly in vegetable dishes and sauces. Excellent in cur-ries, pickles and other spicy dishes.

All spice: Also known as pi-mento they are the small sundried berries of a tropical tree. They have a combined aroma of nut-meg, cinnamon and cloves.

Pul biber: A crushed red pep-per prepared from dried aleppo peppers. The Turks sprinkle it over almost everything. Mild to medium in heat, you can replace it with chilli flakes in recipes.

WHY DO SO MANY DISHES CALLFOR AN ONION COOKED INBUTTER BEFORE THE MAINCOOKING?

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

onions are golden orcaramelised. Either way it’sworth it if you enjoy tastyfood. You can cut theamount of fat used bycovering the pot while youronion cooks— the lidcollects moisture thatwould normally evaporate,and by returning this to theonion, it avoids burning.

surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are

different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between

the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly

common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins.

Where does allspice come from?Pimenta dioica, a largeevergreen tree that isnative to theWest Indies.Allspice is called pimento insome parts of the world, butshould not be confusedwithcapsicums bearing the samename. Allspice berries arepicked before they ripenthen dried and used toflavour sweet and savourydishes. The spice was onceused to preservemeat. Inthe late 19th centuryallspice trees nearly diedout, thanks to a craze forumbrella handlesmadefrom thewood.

What’s the difference betweenshepherd’s pie and cottage pie?Now, not much: the termsare used interchangeablyfor a dishmade frommincedmeat and toppedwithmashed potato. Strictly,cottage pies should bebased on beef, andshepherd’s pies on lamb ormutton— often the remainsof a roast. Cottage pie is theolder term, with shepherd’spie entering our languagearound the same time asmincingmachines wereinvented, in the 1870s.

Often families wish for more space, and the separate formal lounge/media room answers that need, performing well as the kids’ play room for the current owners.

The home boasts five double bedrooms, including a choice of identical large bedrooms complete with walk-in-robe and stylish en suite, on the first floor and ground floor. The main bathroom matches the quality of the en suites with a full bath and separate walk-in shower.

The décor of the home emphasises the family friendly, yet contemporary design, while the flat lawn, including an in-ground trampoline and easy care gardens, show this home has been built not just for show but to enjoy inside and out.

The tasteful design includes all the fittings demanded of modern living such as the triple garage for cars and “boy’s toys”, ample storage, under-tile heating in the wet areas, well positioned heat pumps and

economical gas water to name a few.With no expense spared, only make an

appointment to view to ensure you take in all the benefits of this wonderful home. Make no mistake this home is for definite sale and there can be only one new lucky owner. Will it be you?

Tree “A”

Trees and Power LinesThe responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the

Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003

Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898.

The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003The regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners. The purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a secure supply of electricity. The regulations:

• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to

trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation, including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.)

What are the dangers?Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons:

• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of serious injury or death

• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may electrocute anyone or anything that touches it

• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages

• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines may cause fires.

Minimum distances required between trees and power linesThe minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines.

To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased.

Trimming trees near power linesTrimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause:

• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by• injury or death to livestock• damage to property and other trees• damage to electrical appliances• damage to power supply facilities• damage to third parties.

We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out this work.

If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.

A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above).

The growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even in windy or snow conditions. The notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth limit zone.

What is a cut or trim notice?If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action.

If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs.

Who pays for the cut or trim?Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut of vegetation on all our lines.

The tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims. We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances.

What fines can be imposed?A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the time and location of the cut or trim.

A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues.

Contact us if in any doubt about your treeWe aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the public, we will use the regulations where necessary.

Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees, or to discuss your options.

FALL ZONE

FALL ZONE

Orion’s tree management programmeOrion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut / trim or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines.

We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone. The intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone.

If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice.

What is a hazard warning notice?If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a hazard warning notice to the tree owner.
