Bid to 

address 

lack of 

facilities 

for youth 

• By Noah Graham 

WORK TO address a lack of 

services, activities and facilities 

for youth in Waltham and 

Sydenham will start later this 

year. 

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board is waiting 

on a report by city council 

staff, which will be presented in 

September, that will research into 

what youth, particularly teenagers, 

want for the area. 

Community board deputy 

chairman Jake McLellan said 

although there were plenty of 

facilities in the area such as ice 

skating and rock climbing but 

they tended to be aimed at a lower 

age group. 

“There is not the type of facilities 

in the area that a teenager 

would want to go to.” 

Mr McLellan said there has 

been a long-standing need for 

programmes and services for 

youth in the areas. 

He said one way to find out 

what youth want would be 

through a youth community 

board.

A GOOD initiative on page 1 today 

– a bid to get facilities for youth in 

Waltham and Sydenham. 

Research is under way to find 

out what teenagers want and the 

findings will be presented to the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community 

Board in September. 

If I was to add my five cents worth 

into the mix I’d say direct them to 

a sports club in the area – rugby, 

cricket, softball, league, netball, 

whatever takes their fancy. 

There’s nothing better to build 

character and discipline than to play 

in a team sport. 

I hope the report council staff 

are doing for the community board 

includes that idea. 

Speaking of sport, reporter Noah 

Graham profiles jiu-jitsu expert Paul 

Stokes on pages 6-7. 

He’s a sixth dan black belt through 

years of discipline and dedication.

Protection planned for cyclists 


FLEXIBLE POSTS will be 

added along the edge of the 

Grove Rd, Addington, cycleway 

to prevent people driving onto 

it. 

City council planning and 

delivery transport manager 

Lynette Ellis said the posts will 

be installed in the ‘next few 

weeks’ to prevent people from 

driving onto it and ensuring 

user safety. 

Manuka 

Cottage manager 

Cherylan 

Davies (left) 

was delighted to 

hear city council 

were installing 

the posts after she was worried 

cyclists could be injured. 

She said it was only a matter 

of time before someone was hurt 

on the narrow road as, when 

passing each other, cars would 

often swerve into available gaps 

and that would often be the 

cycleway. 

“Anything that makes it safer 

for pedestrians and cyclists is a 

good idea,” she said. 

However, Mrs Davies said city 

council needed to monitor the 

road properly and make sure 

IMPEDING: Grove Rd residents will be penalised if they continue to park on berms and pathways 

along the road once the cycle way is complete.

people were following the road 

rules down the street. 

On one side of Grove Rd parking 

was removed to install the 

cycleway, which is part of the 

Little River Link, one of the 13 

major cycle routes which aim to 

connect the city. 

With less parking, a small 

number of people have 

started parking on the berms 

and the cycleway during its 

construction, Ms Ellis 

said. 

“Construction contractors 

have reminded residents not to 

do this, which has worked in 

most cases. 

“[City] council will use 

enforcement measures if 

necessary once the cycleway is 

open.” 

The cycleway is expected to be 

completed in a few weeks. 

In Brief 

SIGNS PLEASE RESIDENTS 

Somerfield residents are delighted 

to see the new school speed zones 

installed on Studholme and 

Somerfield Sts. The 40km/h signs 

were installed late last month. 

Somerfield Residents Association 

chairwoman Julie Tobbell said 

she was pleased to see the signs up 

making the area safer for children. 

SPARKS RD CONSULTATION 

Consultation on the Sparks Rd 

footpath opened yesterday. City 

council is proposing improvements 

on 381 Sparks Rd, outside the old 

Halswell Library, and the installation 

of a zebra pedestrian crossing 

over the left turning lane from 

Halswell Rd onto Sparks Rd. The 

consultation will close on May 29. 

COFFEE CART AT QUARRY 

A coffee cart has been granted a 

spot at the Halswell Quarry, following 

a city council idea to get 

small businesses to set up in the 

space. The city council asked for 

expressions on interest in spring 

last year and Coffee Vice won a 

temporary lease to set up shop 

near the Singleman’s House. The 

decision to allow a vendor into the 

park was made after plans to convert 

the Singlemen’s House into a 

cafe were turned down. The cart is 

currently operating from Tuesday

Veterinary practice 

OUR VISIT TO UC 

DAVIS, CALIFORNIA 

Steve, Isaac and myself recently spent time 

at UC Davis, the #1 Veterinary school in the 

world. For 2 years running it has received 

this huge accolade and when you are 

there you can see why. It operates and is 

the size of a mini CHCH Public hospital. 

They are a teaching hospital as well as 

seeing referral patients and first opinion 

clients. Their specialities include 24/7 

emergency and critical care, cardiology, 

neurology, ophthalmology, 

oncology and surgery. They 

were originally set up to 

see 5500 patients per year, 

last year they saw 50,000 

patients. Everyone was so 

friendly and helpful and 

enthusiastic about being 

part of this college. It had a 

wonderful vibe... Isaac was 

hooked. 

Approximately 140 students 

get accepted yearly in to 

Davis, with around 10% being 

male. It cost about US$45,000 

for tuition( $64000 NZL) 

and then there is living costs on top of 

that. Vet students on average come out 

owing US $135,000. These students have 

spent the previous 4 years obtaining an 

excellent undergraduate degree just to 

get accepted, majoring in science and 

maths. There are 30 colleges of Veterinary 

Medicine in the US and each year about 

3000 students get accepted. About 40% 

of students who apply get accepted 

somewhere. In your 3rd year you start to 

branch off in your area of interest – either 

companion animal, equine, mixed practice 

or production animals. 

After their 4 year degree at Davis, most 

will apply for 1-2 year internship at another 

Veterinary College to further their skills 

in an area they are interested in. Davis 

don’t offer internships. Our freshman 

(first year) guide loves dentistry so her 

plans are to become a specialist in this 

field. After her internship, she then needs 

to apply for a residency at one of the 30 

colleges, which could be anything from 

3-5 years more study!! These are hard to 

come by, and you have to be the best of 

the bunch, although a Vet degree from 

UC Davis stands you in good steed. So to 

be a specialist in your field in the US takes 

between 13-15 years, and the debt these 

students accrue is massive, a few get 

scholarships, but most have to pay. I met a 

vet in her 40’s who still has a student loan. 

Steve spent 2 days tagging along with 

ophthalmology specialists, residents and 

students on rotation. First and second 

year students get at least 2 weeks of 

ophthalmology per year ( 27 years ago 

when I studied at Massey, 1 day was 

dedicated to “eyes”). He really enjoyed the 

collegial discussions on cases, sussing out 

all the latest equipment, chatting to the 

students and doing rounds with them. 

Steve came away pleased with his skills 

and 

expertise in 

ophthalmology, 

although a 

few pieces of 

equipment caught 

his eye. 

Isaac and I 

thoroughly 

enjoyed our 3 hour tour of the 

entire faculty. Isaac loved the exotics 

hospital where they house and treat the 

reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles etc. We 

also visited their raptor centre, home to 

rescued birds of prey that can no longer 

see or fly. He also enjoyed watching elbow 

arthroscopy on a Golden Retriever from a 

viewing room. He could see them cutting 

and sucking out torn cartilage from the 

video screen. What amazed me was the 

amount of people in theatre – 9 in all, 

including the chief surgeon, 2 residents, 

3 anesthetists and 4th year students. 

There were so many people milling 

around keenly observing. They do MRI 

and CT here and even have a massive 

MRI machine that can fit a horse into. 

The most expensive patient to date was 

a spoodle who underwent dialysis for 18 

months, visiting the hospital twice weekly 

to have all the toxins removed from her 

blood. Her final account was US$140,000! 

The most expensive piece of equipment 

is a linear accelerator used for radiation 

treatment for cancer patients costing a 

little over 1 million. Apparently one of the 

only surgical procedures NOT performed 

here at Davis is renal transplants as when 

attempted on cats over 10 years ago, 

the survival rate was poor. A handful of 

colleges perform renal transplants in cats 

including the Pennsylvania and Georgia 

College of Vet medicine. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent 

at Davis and I thought how amazing, 

fun and expensive it would be to be a 

student now studying vet medicine at 

UC Davis. The students we met were just 

so absorbed, very happy and grateful to 

be at this world class faculty. I came out 

thinking I am so in the right profession.

Edward Linscott graduated from the 

school in 2009, Alex Paterson, 2010, and 

Samuel Hall-McMaster, 2011, and are continuing 

to make progress in their fields. 

Mr Linscott is at the University of

degree in 2015, and is working towards a 

PhD which focuses on photosynthesis and 

trying to produce hydrogen from water in 

an economic and sustainable way as part 

of a global effort to eliminate problems 

caused by fossil fuels. 

Mr Paterson was awarded the Madame 

Curie European Union Science Scholarship 

in mathematical physics and is 

researching towards his PhD at the University 

of Exeter. 

Mr Paterson’s research specialises on 

modelling storm systems in the Pacific 

in order to better understand their behaviour 

and analysing how other planets’ 

atmospheres behave and comparing it to 

Earth’s. 

After he completed a degree in neuroscience 

at the University of Otago, 

Mr Hall-McMaster was offered the New 

Zealand-Rutherford Foundation Trust 

and William Georgetti Trust scholarships 

to study his PhD at Oxford University. 

Mr Hall-McMaster’s research centres 

around his ambitions to understand the 

underlying reasons that enable people to 

work towards goals over a long period of 

time. 

He hopes from his research people will 

be able to gain insight and be more successful 

when chasing these goals.

Riverbanks earmarked for clean-up 


GROUPS ARE getting ready to 

clean up riverbanks. 

This Saturday, hundreds 

of volunteers will don their 

gumboots to pick up rubbish littering 

Christchurch riverbanks 

for the annual Mother of All 

Clean Ups. 

Volunteers will line the Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary as well as the 

Heathcote and Avon Rivers to 

try and clean out waste that is 

further polluting the rivers. 

Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary 

Ihutai Trust 

co-ordinator 

Tanya Jenkins 

said the cleanup, 

held on the 

Helene 

Mautner 

eve of Mother’s 

Day every year, 

was an opportunity 

to give a gift 

back to Mother Nature. 

“We were thrilled to see such 

an enormous turnout of caring 

people last year. 

“Close to 1300 members of 

the public tidied 156km of river 

bank and estuary edge,” she said. 

More than 20 tonnes of 

rubbish was collected last year 

which ranged from plastic bags 

to computers and even a sheep 

carcass. 

RUBBISH: During last year’s Mother of All Clean Ups more 

than 1300 volunteers removed more than 20 tonnes of 

rubbish from the Opawaho/Heathcote River. 

“We are hoping that we collect 

less this year as the aim of the 

event is to raise awareness of the 

issue and for individuals to take 

responsibility for their careful 

disposal of rubbish,” Mrs Jenkins 

said. 

Opawaho-Heathcote 

River Network co-chairwoman 

Helene Mautner said volunteers 

would not need to get into the 

water, they would just be cleaning 

the banks. 

“We have a saying: If your feet 

get wet you’ve gone too far.” 

Dr Mautner said it was a great 

couple of hours to be involved 

in. 

The two-hour clean-up starts 

at 10am, with volunteers urged 

to register through ohr.co.nz, 

however, people are welcome to 

turn up on the day. 

Last year more than 50 

community groups joined the 

clean-up.

Youth facilities 

in focus 

•From page 1 

Mr McLellan said he did not 

want to pre-empt the staff report 

but said a social facility like the 

Hornby Youth Hangout could be 

a good idea. 

“How could you be against the 

idea?” 

However, he said it was too early 

to start making any real plans as 

nothing was on the table yet. 

Youthtown Christchurch southern 

region area manager Amanda 

Murray said there was a lack of 

facilities for youth in the area and 

it was always hard to get teenagers 

to engage with community 

groups. 

She said sports clubs and church 

groups sometimes worked but they 

often added pressure teenagers did 

not want to deal with. 

Most of the time teenagers just 

want a place to hang out and 

socialise, she said. 

Ms Murray said a facility like 

the Hornby Youth Hangout 

would be a good idea for the area. 

However, she said if that was 

a path the board was wanting to 

go down, they would have to be 

serious about it and be willing to 

commit to the facility as well as 

providing a youth worker. 

There was less tagging and 

random violence in the area since 

the hangout in Hornby had been 

implemented, Ms Murray said.

Sensei passes flair for 

OUR PEOPLE: Paul Stokes has taught Jiu Jitsu in Bromley for 

years at the Old Scout Hall. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Paul Stokes has been involved with 

Bromley’s Furui Ryu jiu jitsu dojo since 

the 1970s and has been a coach since 

the mid-90s. Noah Graham spoke to 

him about the evolution of the martial art 

and how it has influenced him and his 

students 

How did you get into jiu 

jitsu? 

I was playing rugby for a 

few years and my old man 

knew a guy who was running 

a judo club at Bryndwr 

YMCA, except it wasn’t 

judo, it was jiu jitsu. It was 

something else to do besides 

rugby. So I started there in 

1979 and I’ve stuck at it ever 

since then. 

What was it about jiu jitsu 

that you liked? 

I think at the time, it was 

very realistic. There was no 

gloves, it was full contact. 

There were knocked out 

teeth and I liked how it was 

realistic as a form of selfdefence. 

The discipline was 

great. Very, very disciplined. 

The instructor at the time 

would go around punch you 

in the guts and kick you in 

the guts. It used to be a blood 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Paul Stokes 

bath really to be honest when 

I started. 

We have light gloves these 

days, you can’t send people 

away with cut eyes and broken 

noses too much. We used 

to use real knives, too, for 

knife defences. We were told 

to throw and stab each other. 

I just liked that part of it, you 

know, it got the adrenaline 

going. We would be doing 

lapel breakouts or something 

and the sensei would shout 

out and the whole class 

would go all out for one to 

two minutes. It could be two 

on one, or three on one – it 

was a massive brawl. Then 

you would stop and you 

would go back to what you 

were doing. You’d have your 

guard ready because, if you 

were doing something, the 

other guy would smack you 

in the face or kick you.

martial arts onto apprentices 

The self-defence training 

you learned – have you used it 

outside of a dojo? 

I used to do a bit of bouncing 

and had to use it against knives 

to machetes to general street 

fighting. Only as self defence, 

though. I never used to go out 

looking for it. I bounced at the 

Dux Deluxe and the Redwood. 

Dux was a crazy place to bounce 

at. There was a wide variety 

of different people from your 

yuppies to your gang members. 

It could be quite a rough place 

at times, really. Especially on a 

Friday. I used to help teach the 

bouncers as well. 

Furui ryu is a specific form of 

jiu jitsu, what’s different about 

it compared to other forms of 

jiu jitsu. 

Jiu jitsu comes as a mixture of 

judo, karate and aikido. Some 

forms of jiu jitsu are more aikido, 

some are more judo and some 

are more karate. Most styles 

these days are more aikido. Our 

style has been more designed for 

the street and to be as realistic 

as possible without having too 

many injuries. By being realistic, 

we teach people proper self-defence 

that can be used to protect 

themselves. These days we’re not 

too hard on the students. We still 

do full contact in gradings, but 

we wear a lot of gloves. We also 

do free fighting occasionally. 

How difficult is it to get a 

black belt in jiu jitsu? 

Very hard in our club. We 

don’t give away grades. We 

always make sure they do their 

time. If you train twice a week 

for the whole five and a half years 

you’d get it, but most people are 

more like six to eight years. I got 

my black belt in 1985 after about 

six years. 

Can you tell me a bit about 

your family? 

Both of my parents are Scottish. 

My mum’s passed away 

but my dad’s still going. Dad 

was a painter and I learnt my 

trade from him as a painter. I 

was brought up in the Redwood 

area and stayed in Christchurch 

all my life, a part from a ninemonth 

trip to Australia. 

What is coaching like? 

There’s always people coming 

up through the grades who you 

can’t let down so you just carry 

on. We have a kids class as well 

as an adult class so you’ve just 

got to be there for them. We create 

a lot of discipline in our class 

and respect for each other so 

no one loses their cool and they 

behave themselves outside of the

students. 

dojo. They’re all aware they have 

to be responsible. You get a sense 

of accomplishment from watching 

the kids improve to a black 

belt. To watch their attitudes 

change through discipline and 

the pride of seeing them getting 

their grade – it’s amazing. We’ve 

had some kids who have had to 

fail their grading and they cry, 

and I just say, “look, you’re not 

a loser, you’re only a loser if you 

don’t come back”. They come 

back and they get the grade, and 

the smile on their face, it is just 

amazing to see that. 

How popular is jiu jitsu in 

New Zealand? 

It’s getting more and more 

popular through cage fighting. 

We were the first jiu jitsu club in 

Christchurch and, since then, 

clubs have been popping up 

everywhere. However, today jiu 

jitsu is associated with Brazilian 

jiu jitsu, with cage fighting and 

MMA. But our style is quite different 

to that. 

How did the club start? 

It started in 1967 as Canterbury 

unarmed combat school. 

And then when John Bonniface 

came down in 1968, he got graded 

up to black belt to go to Japan 

and trained under Sugawara 

Geshu and came back with fuji 

ryu jiu jitsu and came up with 

our style in the early 1970s. 

What do you like to do in 

your spare time? 

I used to do an hour weights 

in the club everyday, but my 

joints don’t allow me to do that 

anymore. I’d go down and do a 

bit of boat fishing every chance 

I could get if I do have some free 

time. Fishing is a bit more relaxing. 

Try to knuckle around with 

the guitar a bit when I can. I’ve 

put that down for a while now. 

It’s been sitting there too long 

now. I learnt guitar about 20 to 

30 years ago and I do need to get 

back into it.

Soil bleeds into waterways 

Cashmere 

Stream Care 

Group chairman 

Ken Rouse talks 

about the effect 

the Port Hills 

fires has had 

on nearby rivers and what 

needs to be done to save 

them 

THe Cashmere Stream, 

downstream of Sutherlands 

Rd, passes through rural land 

for some 2km and arrives at 

the confluence with Hoon Hay 

Valley waterway in gin clear 

condition. 

But it is at this stage that the 

Cashmere Stream begins its 

death by 1000 cuts from the 

inputs from tributaries on the 

Port Hills. 

There are three bogey tributaries 

for Cashmere Stream with 

large deposits of loess soil. 

These are the Cashmere Valley, 

Hoon Hay Valley and Worsleys 

Valley waterways. In periods of 

no rain, such as in summer, these 

tributaries have little or no flow 

but each of them bleed sediment 

into the catchment during heavy 

rain events. 

The worst is the site of an active 

commercial Adventure Park 

and, unfortunately, this site is 

severely affected with its vegetation 

destroyed by the Port Hills 

fires. These tributaries make 

life difficult for the fresh water 

inhabitants because when it 

rains, they get a fresh smothering 

SCORCHED: 

The lack of 

vegetation on 

the Port Hills 

means more 

sediment is 

running off 

into nearby 

waterways.

of sediment. A bit like living in a 

smoggy Chinese city. 

Unfortunately, the fires have 

burned deep into all three of the 

Port Hills valleys and vegetation 

that was important against erosion 

has been lost. To reduce the 

sediment load from the hills, we 

need a two-solution approach. 

1. Construct a series of large 

retention structures in each valley 

that will slow floodwater and 

assist settlement of the heavier 

sediment. Within the structure, 

create deep ponds that act as 

sink holes for sediment. Create 

them of sufficient size and depth 

so as to be useful for helicopter 

firefighting needs in the future. 

These structures could accommodate 

pastoral farming once 

established. 

2. Assist the private landowners 

to the extent that they want 

help in replanting the lost forest 

areas and grass land. In the 

short-term, establishing some 

sort of cover on the bare land is 

critical. 

Note that in the short-term and 

until permanent soil stabilisation 

is achieved on the critical areas of 

the Port Hills, every effort must 

be made to keep soil in place. 

There are eco-friendly soil stabilisers 

that should be applied to 

sites which remain without cover 

as a matter of urgency. 

We said: 

McDonald’s has applied 

for land and resource 

consent on a plot on 

Ferry Rd with the aim 

of building a fast food 

restaurant there 

You said: 

Amanda White – Oh, 

great idea . . . put another 

fast food ‘restaurant’ in a low 

socio-economic area. You’d 

never see one in Cashmere/ 

Fendalton. 

Jemma Martin – I don’t 

think it’s necessary, with 

two McDonald’s, a Burger 

King, KFC and Subway, 

all at Eastgate mall just a 

few kilometres away. They 

should’ve gotten something to 

reflect the area. 

Vivienne Murchison – 

God. Just when there was a 

cool village-type vibe starting 

to happen there. There goes the 

neighbourhood. 

Stella Twentyman – 

There is a Burger King, a 

KFC and two McDonald’s in 

Linwood . . . Go there. 

Amanda Clarke – Perfect. 

People can drive through and 

get their McDonald’s then 

park up at Woolston Park to 

eat it and dump their 

rubbish. 

Sophia Young – There’s 

one not far at Eastgate. They 

don’t really need it. 

Lorraine Isaacs – Hope 

people go to New World and 

buy real food instead. 

Hayden Allan – As 

bad as it is, if you want an 

area to thrive put a 

McDonald’s there. If they put a 

KFC or a McDonald’s in New 

Brighton, I’m sure it will take 

off. 

Rohan Bekker – Fast food 

equals rubbish on the street 

and in the river. Great. 

Ashley Rossouw – There 

is already a McDonald’s at 

Eastgate mall which is a twominute 

drive away. Not really 

needed in my opinion.

Hillmorton High School pupils took part in a rhythm workshop last week, 

which had them using African-style hand drums. 

The pupils were visited by Rhythm Interactive, which performed a 

workshop with year 7 and 8 music and international pupils. The drums were 

handed out to the pupils who were encouraged to join in with the show. 

Deputy principal Eleanor Sim said the workshop themes were ‘playing 

together as one’ and ‘actions speak louder than words’. 

As part of the ‘actions speak louder than words’ theme, the school show 

was performed without a single word being spoken.

Kids love CASPA! 

CASPA (Creative After 

School Programmed Activities)

Lindisfarne Nursery School was established 

in 1987 by Tricia Cuthbert and remains part

is developing. 

The pre-school villa offers the children a 

large open space with family and role-play 

areas, areas for construction and art, a library 

full of wonderful books and puzzles, and a 

"classroom" area where the pre-schoolers love 

to 'play schools'. 

The nursery house provides the babies and 

toddlers with the environment and resources 

to develop their skills in the precious first two

FLAME FILES 

Keep cooking under 

control in the kitchen 

• Mark Thomas, fire risk 

management officer 

I KNOW I’ve repeated the 

advice about looking when 

cooking dozens of times 

over the years and it looks 

very much like it’s never 

going to cease completely. 

But every now and then I 

despair a bit. 

Like on Wednesday 

when within three-and-ahalf-hours 

fire trucks responded 

to three different 

cooking incidents. 

A house completely filled 

with smoke from a forgotten 

pie in the microwave 

in Sockburn was followed 

by a pot on the stove, again 

filling the house in Kotare 

St and a further incident 

in Bryndwr where smoke 

inhalation was the result 


FROM BEATLES’ classics 

to Elvis Presley’s best 

hits, a variety of songs are 

sparking strong memories 

for those experiencing 

memory loss. 

The Keepsake Singers 

group meets once a week 

and helps people with 

memory loss or dementia 

to sing along to 20s, 30s, 

40s and 50s classic hits. 

The Muse Community 

Music Trust member 

Jacinta O’Reilly said the 

hour-long sessions are a 

great way for older adults 

experiencing some form 

of memory loss to have a 

joint activity with friends 

and family. 

“It’s a lovely thing for 

someone to be able to do 

an activity with someone 

who is losing their 

memory.” 

She said with other community 

activities people 

for the elderly occupants. 

Any of these could have 

been much worse. 

A life or a house gone. 

But all of them were 

preventable. 

Stay in the kitchen. 

The smell of burning in 

your home can be frightening 

for anyone. 

More so if you’re blind. 

The occupant of a house 

in Addington thankfully 

did the exact right thing, 

again on Wednesday, by 

experiencing memory loss 

often lack confidence with 

most activities but the 

relaxed nature of the sing 

along allows them to freely 

join in. 

The songs include a 

range of pop hits which 

resonate with the participants, 

Ms O’Reilly said. 

She said the members 

are able to sing most of the 

lyrics as it taps into older 

memories which are often 

preserved.

Turned out to be a tea 

towel smouldering on an 

element. 

The potential here was a 

bit frightening. 

I’ve not mentioned arson 

here for a long time. 

It’s still occurring but 

the removal of most of the 

empty houses in the red 

zone has made it less visible 

or newsworthy. 

A drum of diesel spread

HAZELNUT, DARK 

CHOCOLATE AND LEMON 

ZEST 

Ingredients 

¼ cup Caster sugar 

2 Lemons, to give three tsp finely 

grated zest 

¼ cup Unsalted butter, softened 

⅔ cup Hazelnut, blanched and 

chopped 

⅓ cup Dark chocolate, chopped 

6 Pears 

1½ cups Marsala or Ginger Wine 

1 to serve Whipped cream, or

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Denture technicians keep abreast of industry 

developments 

As registered members of the New 

Zealand Dental Council, Ryan Carlton 

and his fellow technicians at Dentures 

Plus in Innes Road are required to 

undertake verified training at various 

courses every year, to upskill and keep 

abreast of new developments in the 

industry. 

“For example, our technicians Thomas 

Gu and Nicole Yee will be attending a 

two-day course later this year on the 

fitting of first-time dentures,” Ryan says. 

In addition, Nicole has recently spent 

four weeks in India as part of a course 

she is undertaking on maxilo facial work, 

which deals with artificial eyes, ears and 

noses. 

“This is a service we may potentially 

offer in the future,” Ryan says. 

Ryan himself has recently returned 

from the International Dental Show, 

which was held in Cologne, Germany. 

“It’s the largest trade show in the world 

for the industry, with manufacturers 

and suppliers from all over the world 

showcasing their products. There were 

over 2300 stands – it was really eyeopening.” 

Ryan says he was particularly interested 

in how digital technology is being 

incorporated into dentistry, for example 

3D printing being used at different stages 

of denture manufacture such as the crown 

and bridge. 

“It’s still in the very early stages, and it 

needs more development, but that’s where 

it’s heading,” Ryan says. 

He believes that in the future, people 

that make and fit dentures will be seen 

as architects rather than technicians, 

with patients being able to download the 

pattern for their dentures the architect 

has designed on computer, and print 

them on a 3D machine. 

In the meantime, he emphasises the 

importance of keeping dentures clean. 

Dentures Plus offers a full range of 

products for denture cleaning including 

denture cleaners, brushes and denture 

baths for soaking the dentures. 

Ryan particularly recommends Caldent 

denture cleaner, as it is non-abrasive and 

effectively removes stains, calculus and 

plaque. 

“It works wonders,” he says. “Years of 

stains and plaque can be removed with 

this product.” 

It can be purchased through 

the Dentures Plus website, www. 

denturesplus.co.nz, for delivery anywhere 

in Christchurch and throughout the 

country. 

Dentures Plus, 396 Innes Road, is 

open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm 

and Friday 8am-2pm. To make an 

appointment for a consultation on 

denture fitting or repair, phone 

385 5517. 

Dentures Plus also 

offers a full range 

of products for 

denture cleaning.

Halswell squads head to 

large youth tournament 

• By Andrew King 

FOR THE first time, Halswell 

United will send teams to 

compete in an Australian football 

tournament in Canberra. 

An under-14 girls side and 

under-13 boys team will head to 

the Kanga Cup in July. 

It is the largest international 

youth football tournament in the 

Southern Hemisphere, with more 

than 375 teams from a number of 

different countries competing. 

Halswell United general 

manager Sam Bunn said it was all 

about player development and it 

was the teams that wanted to go. 

Bunn said the girls team was 

looking to win in their maiden 

outing, while the boys would be 

competitive. 

SPORTS 

WARM-UP: Halswell United’s under-13 boys and under-14 

girls Kanga Cup sides played out a 1-1 draw against each other 

on Sunday as part of their preparation for July’s Kanga Cup 

competition in Canberra. 

“It is all about experience, and 

this will provide quite a bit of 

that,” she said. 

The cup competition started 

in 1991 in Sydney with about 35 

teams competing before it was 

moved to its current home in 

Canberra in 1993. 

Previous participating teams 

have hailed from Australia, United 

States, England, Denmark, Italy, 

Russia, Georgia, South Africa, 

South Korea, Chinese Taipei, 

Malaysia, Philippines, India, 

Indonesia, East Timor, Fiji and 

New Zealand. 

•Halswell United is still 

looking for sponsorship of 

its two Kanga Cup squads.

South African leads Cashmere first XI 


SOUTH AFRICAN Lyle 

Matthysen thought he was 

destined to be a rugby player 

when he moved to New Zealand 

12 years ago, but a chance 

encounter with the Cashmere 

Wanders led to a love of 

football. 

Matthysen, 18, is now captain 

of the Cashmere High first XI 

and a regular starter in the 

midfield for the Cashmere 

Technical Mainland Premier 

League side. 

Born in Cape Town, in the 

heart of Stormers country, 

Matthysen left when he was sixyears-old. 

A friend took him to 

a training when he was younger 

and he just fell in love with the 

beautiful game. 

He has been playing top grade 

football for the past four years, 

but still remembers one of his 

first blunders after making the 

Cashmere Tech side. 

“I was through on the keeper 

and totally tripped over the ball 

Cashmere face St Andrew’s in second round 


CASHMERE HIGH will play 

St Andrew’s tomorrow after 

recording a solid 3-1 win over 

Christchurch Boys’ High in the 

opening round of the Connetics 

schools premier first XI 

competition at the Christchurch 

Football Centre. 

Cashmere had a number of 

players on debut in its squad, 

with coach Tom Wilkinson 

saying Luke Tolan playing in 

central midfield had a brilliant 

start earning him man of the 

match. 

“He controlled the game very 

well last night and was a rock in 

front of the defence,” Wilkinson 

in front a quite a few people,” 

he said. 

It did not deter him and now 

he sees his name in the starting 

SKIPPER: Lyle Matthysen

for Cashmere Technical. 

11 quite often. 

“It is something I really want 

to pursue as a career,” he said. 

He said the natural progression 

for most Kiwis is through 

an American college on a scholarship, 

a dream he is very keen 

to chase. 

“Ryan Nelson played for 

Cashmere and is a huge role 

model to me,” he said. 

He has had the privilege 

of playing with former Wellington 

Phoenix and All White 

defender Ben Sigmund and 

Canterbury United FC and 

All White mid-fielder Aaron 

Clapham. 

“Clapham is still in the 

Cashmere Tech side and is 

always giving us plenty of good 

advice,” he said. 

GOOD START: Cashmere 

recorded a solid 3-1 win over 

CBHS in the opening round 

of the schools premier first 

XI competition. 

said. 

“The game was fast-paced in 

the first half with both sides 

battling well.” 

Wilkinson said the team will 

be looking to work on consistency 

as they look ahead to 

the game against St Andrew’s 

tomorrow. 

The last time Cashmere 

played St Andrew’s, the match 

ended in a 2-2 draw. 

Both teams are undefeated 

going into the second round 

with St Andrew’s beating Burnside 

4-2. 

“They will be a tough opposition 

and we are relishing the 

challenge,” Wilkinson said. 

The game starts at 5.45pm.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

New and quality used tyres 

for most makes & models 

If you need new tyres for your vehicle, 

JCM Direct is the place to go. 

This family-run, independent tyre 

business in Birmingham Drive specialises 

in new and quality second-hand tyres. 

The business is owned by husband and 

wife Athol and Julie Hurst, with Julie being 

the one who runs the day-to-day operation 

and fits the tyres for customers, which is 

unusual in the male-dominated industry, 

she says. 

They stock a large selection of new tyres 

from a wide range of suppliers to suit your 

wheelbarrow, car, van, 4wd or trailer. 

“There are very few brands we can’t do,” 

Julie says. 

“We also have an excellent selection of 

quality second-hand 4WD tyres. 

Other services JCM Direct offers include 

puncture repairs, supply and fitting of 

new and second-hand alloy wheels, wheel 

alignments, replacement factory steel 

rims, rim repairs and lights. 

“We also specialise in old rims, from the 

1930s to the 1970s, which people purchase 

for caravans and old trailers. The modern 

rims won’t fit those,” Julie says. 

“JCM Direct also do a lot of matching 

rims and tyres, so customers don’t have to 

buy a complete new set if only one needs 

replacing.” 

We can create packages to accommodate 

all budgets, with finance available via Q 

Card or Farmers Card. 

JCM Direct is now in a new location, 

on the corner of Birmingham Drive and 

Hands Road. Their former premises were 

further along Hands Road. 

Opening hours are Monday to Friday 

9.30am-5pm and Saturday 9.30am-1pm.
