Volunteer coastguard’s<br />
big swim to give back<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
ANDREW SOUTHEN<br />
is making a splash for<br />
Coastguard New Zealand<br />
funding by swimming 50km<br />
this month.<br />
The volunteer coastguard<br />
is raising funds for the<br />
organisation after joining 18<br />
months ago.<br />
“I’m into boating and<br />
anything to do with water and<br />
the sea. I thought it was good<br />
to put something back into the<br />
community,” he said.<br />
The Big Swim is a fundraiser<br />
for Coastguard NZ where<br />
participants get sponsored for<br />
swimming a distance of their<br />
choice during <strong>July</strong>.<br />
Southen hopes the challenge<br />
will prepare him for the South<br />
Island masters short course<br />
championships next month at<br />
Jellie Park.<br />
He will compete in the 100m<br />
individual medley, 50m and<br />
100m freestyle, and 50m, 100m<br />
and 200m backstroke.<br />
The 64-year-old swims with<br />
the Jasi Masters Swim Club and<br />
has already completed 30.2km<br />
of the challenge.<br />
“The most I’ve probably done<br />
before is 30km in a month. It<br />
is a bit of an effort, but I’m just<br />
enjoying the challenge so that<br />
gives you a bit of incentive to<br />
carry on,” said Southen.<br />

Playground<br />
plans get a<br />
rethink<br />
following<br />
petition<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
PUBLIC PRESSURE has forced<br />
the city council to take another<br />
look at its replacement plans<br />
for a popular Eastern suburbs<br />
playground.<br />
Earlier this year, council<br />
officials revealed Thomson Park’s<br />
50-year-old fort playground<br />
would be demolished due to safety<br />
concerns.<br />
Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />
Linwood Community Board<br />
member Alex Hewison said it was<br />
a safety risk.<br />
“And for us elected members,<br />
our priority is ensuring that our<br />
community is safe. What was<br />
disappointing was the redesign.”<br />
The council proposed replacing<br />
the largely wooden facility with<br />
an imported, $80,000 modular<br />
kitset funded by the city council’s<br />
‘community parks play item<br />
renewal’ project.<br />
Those plans led to a community<br />
backlash. Residents were angry<br />
about the lack of consultation,<br />
slamming the replacement model<br />
as “too plastic”, with its smaller<br />
size making it only suitable for<br />
small children.<br />
Hewison launched a petition<br />
calling on city council staff to<br />
consider a more suitable likefor-like<br />
replacement. He said<br />
media attention had significantly<br />
boosted the reach of the petition.<br />

Landfill gets extension<br />
OPERATIONS will continue<br />
on part of the Burwood landfill<br />
until 2026.<br />
The 9.62 ha section of the<br />
Burwood Resource Recovery<br />
Park was expected to close when<br />
its resource consent expired on<br />
June 30.<br />
But a two-year extension<br />
for operations at site C has<br />
been granted by Environment<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Said city<br />
council resource<br />
recovery manager<br />
Dr Alec<br />
McNeil: “We had<br />
anticipated we’d<br />
need to close site<br />
C by <strong>2024</strong> when<br />
it was expected<br />
to have reached<br />
capacity, but soil<br />
Alec<br />
McNeil<br />
volumes delivered to the site have<br />
been lower than predicted, so<br />
there’s enough room for another<br />
two years of operation.”<br />
McNeil said there are no<br />
other soil disposal sites in the<br />
Christchurch area that could fill<br />
the gap in the market.<br />
“Continuing operations here<br />
means we don’t need to travel<br />
outside of Christchurch to other<br />
disposal sites, which cuts costly<br />
transport distances and provides<br />
time for the industry to open<br />
new landfill sites.”<br />
The Burwood Resource<br />
Recovery Park was established<br />
by Transwaste Canterbury to<br />
SITE C: Operations at Burwood landfill will continue for<br />
another two years after a resource consent extension was<br />
granted.<br />

process earthquake waste from<br />
the city’s demolished buildings.<br />
Since 2019, Burwood landfill<br />
has been progressively closing,<br />
with only site C remaining<br />
open.<br />
The small section of the landfill<br />
is used to dispose of soils that<br />
contain low levels of contaminants.<br />
No hazardous material is<br />
accepted.<br />
“Continuing at site C until<br />
it reaches capacity is the best<br />
and most economical option,”<br />
McNeil said.<br />
“I want to assure local residents<br />
that apart from the change to the<br />
resource consent, all operations<br />
will remain the same and will<br />
not involve any new excavations<br />
or an increase in size – we’re<br />
adding material to the existing<br />
site area.”<br />
The city council will not be<br />
seeking a further extension when<br />
the consent expires in June 2026.<br />
Once closed, the site will<br />
be incorporated into the<br />
neighbouring Bottle Lake Forest<br />
Park.<br />

Playground gets<br />
$20,000 boost<br />
• From page 1<br />
The strong community<br />
response has seen a partial<br />
backdown from the city council.<br />
It is now adding an extra<br />
$20,000 out of existing budgets<br />
to bolster the project.<br />
“There’s a significantly larger<br />
footprint. There’s a tunnel,<br />
unfortunately there isn’t that big<br />
double slide because once again<br />
that would require additional<br />
funding and we’re really proud<br />
to have kept that within existing<br />
budgets to ensure that our<br />
community have a bigger and<br />

the bank,” Hewison (above)<br />
said.<br />
He believes the public will be<br />
happier with the new upgrade.<br />
“I think anything is better<br />
than the original design.”<br />
Hewison said the new design<br />
will allow more play elements to<br />
be added on in future, subject to<br />
funding.<br />
The change in plans will result<br />
in a delay, but he hopes the new<br />
expanded playground will be<br />
up and running for the area’s<br />
children by the end of the year.<br />

Cameron and the team at Harcourts were wonderful to deal with from start to<br />
finish in the sale of our house.<br />
Outstanding communication and engagement. The plan was laid out at the<br />
start, agreed upon and delivered. They work at a fast pace, which we liked, and<br />
they kept us informed through the whole process.<br />
We sold our house and got a good price, so the proof is in the pudding.<br />
We would have no issue recommending Cameron as a top-quality real<br />

Enviro Master helping<br />
Cantabrians<br />
Enviro Master has been helping<br />
Cantabrians get the balance right when<br />
it comes to choosing the perfect heat<br />
pump or air conditioning system for<br />
their home or office since 2002.<br />
Their team of expert sales people,<br />
qualified electricians, heating and<br />
refrigeration engineers, help to supply<br />
and install one of Christchurch’s<br />
widest range of heat pumps including<br />
Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin<br />
and Fujitsu. Because they have no<br />
affiliation with any one brand, you can<br />
be assured their advice on the benefits<br />
and differences between each product is<br />
unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most<br />
energy-efficient and cost-effective system<br />
for your individual situation, and will<br />
have you regulating the heat in your<br />
home or office in no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often<br />
wanting whole home solutions to be<br />
able to maintain even temperatures<br />
throughout the home both in Winter<br />
and Summer. This can be achieved by<br />
using ducted systems or multi systems<br />
and Enviro Master are experts in<br />
designing, installing and commissioning<br />
these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy offering 80 per cent<br />
of the cost of a new heat pump up to<br />
$3000 including GST.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer<br />
Kiwi Homes initiative and is available<br />
to Home owner/occupiers with a<br />
Community Services Card, a SuperGold<br />
combo card or who live in a low-income<br />
area as determined by deciles 8-10 on<br />
the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />
advertorial<br />
The applicant’s home must also have<br />
been built before 2008, have insulation<br />
up to code (insulation subsidies also<br />
available) and have no fixed heating<br />
in any living area, such as an existing<br />
operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system<br />
for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />
Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />
individual situation, offer advice and<br />
answer any questions you may have.<br />
This consultation is at no cost to the<br />
customer and is always provided before a<br />
heat pump is installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their<br />
eligibility for a subsidised heat pump are<br />
welcome to get in touch for details and<br />
help with the application process.<br />

Volunteers step up<br />
to build picnic tables<br />
FOUR NEW picnic tables are being<br />
installed at McCormacks Bay and<br />
Charlesworth reserves after coordination<br />
between community groups.<br />
The Ferrymead Rotary Club funded the<br />
tables which were built by Linwood Menz<br />
Shed volunteers.<br />
“The generosity of the Ferrymead<br />
Rotary Club will allow locals to sit down<br />
and enjoy the stunning environment that<br />
these two reserves have to offer,” said<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Trust manager<br />
Tanya Jenkins.<br />
The trust approached the Menz Shed<br />
about designing the tables after being<br />
offered funding by the Rotary club.<br />
The handy volunteers, part of the<br />
Linwood Resource Centre, were happy<br />
to support the initiative and fulfil<br />
instructions to create sturdy tables, said<br />
Jenkins.<br />
“The project has provided the<br />
opportunity for local men to share and<br />
pass on knowledge of woodworking to<br />
others,” said Charlie Hulbert, Linwood<br />
Menz Shed community development<br />
co-ordinator.<br />
Two of the tables are now available for<br />
use at McCormack’s Bay Reserve.<br />
“Trust volunteers have spent eight<br />
years here on a regular basis to plant,<br />
weed, water, and mulch several thousand<br />
seedlings for people and wildlife to enjoy<br />
and it is certainly worth a look,” said<br />
Jenkins.<br />
The other two will be placed in<br />
Charlesworth Reserve soon.<br />
Each table is secured to a concrete base<br />
and milled from macrocarpa wood with a<br />
thick top and seating.<br />
They have been crafted to be durable in<br />
the salty environment.<br />

a range of media from painting, pottery,<br />
patchwork, textiles, wood sculpture and<br />
more, Rise Up is a chance to celebrate<br />
artistic achievement, empower and support<br />
emerging artists, and contribute to the<br />
wellbeing of our community through a<br />
meaningful engagement with art. Visitors<br />
will also have the opportunity to support<br />
local artists by purchasing their work. If<br />
you would like to exhibit your work and fit<br />
the eligibility criteria, submit an entry from<br />
by the 19th <strong>July</strong>. Entry forms are available<br />

behind Share Kai and Kōrero, this 6-week<br />
course will introduce you to the cuisines<br />
of Nepal, Afghanistan, and Eritrea<br />
through a series of traditional dishes that<br />
capture the diversity of each cuisine. From<br />
momos (dumplings) through to hearty<br />
stews, flavoursome rice dishes, injera (a<br />
sourdough pancake) and more, this exciting<br />
new course will expand your culinary<br />
horizons and familiarise you with the<br />
cuisines and cultures of some of Ōtautahi’s<br />
ethnic migrant communities.<br />
Music enthusiasts will be thrilled with<br />
our new Introduction to Piano/Keyboard<br />
course which will teach you the basics of<br />
the piano/keyboard and inspire you with<br />
the confidence to want to learn further.<br />
Keyboards will be provided during each<br />
class, so anyone is welcome to join!<br />

WEA Term 3: Food for Thought<br />
The Canterbury WEA has a long<br />
history of engaging citizens in debate and<br />
discussion about the issues of the day.<br />
Glance at the Term 3 programme and<br />
you will see that this is still very much<br />
alive today. Alongside up-lifting and<br />
enriching workshops in arts, crafts, music<br />
and writing they offer a range of thought<br />
provoking and sometimes challenging<br />
talks and discussions.<br />
Join Margaret Taylor to view then<br />
discuss “The Power of Activism”. Young<br />
Australian climate activists feature in a<br />
documentary that moves beyond critique<br />
of the world’s inaction on climate change.<br />
Instead, it celebrates the example set by<br />
this group of gutsy future-proofers, while<br />
Regular physical activity is key to<br />
wellbeing over the Winter months. Our<br />
Night Class Programme has Pilates<br />
and Yoga (both accredited through the<br />
Community Group Strength and Balance<br />
Programme) and Tai Chi to keep you active<br />
this Winter.<br />
Being creative also keeps us active, think<br />
Music, Watercolour Painting, Stone Carving<br />
or Basket Weaving. Learning a new skill<br />
keeps us active too, why not try Knitting,<br />
Photography or Sign Language?<br />
Eating well is also vital for Winter<br />
wellbeing. We offer a variety of cooking<br />
classes to suit every taste, the perfect way<br />
to bring some fresh variety to your menu.<br />

Community comes together for icy dip<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A CHILLING plunge and<br />
community connection brought<br />
more than 100 people together for<br />
the seventh annual mid-winter<br />
swim at Scarborough Beach on<br />
Sunday.<br />
Now part of the Scarborough<br />
Dipper’s Wet <strong>July</strong> event, the swim<br />
brings attention to the fundraising<br />
initiative for a new defibrillator at<br />
Taylors Mistake and the Sumner<br />
based mental health initiative Surf<br />
Ora.<br />
Organiser Julie Zarifeh started<br />
the swim to remember her<br />
husband, Paul, and son Sam, who<br />
both passed away within weeks of<br />
each other in 2017.<br />
Paul Zarifeh, died in November<br />
2017 after a battle with pancreatic<br />
cancer and 27-year-old Sam<br />
drowned while on a rafting trip 16<br />
days later.<br />
After their chilly dip, participants<br />
were treated to a sausage sizzle.<br />
“People were exhilarated,<br />
buzzing, proud of themselves,<br />
and loved the whole vibe and<br />
connection aspect,” said Zarifeh.<br />
Fancy dress was encouraged<br />
this year to encourage a “fun and<br />
frisky” community event.<br />
Participants are tasked to take<br />
a dip in the sea every morning for<br />
the entire month of <strong>July</strong>.<br />

SPLASH: More than 100 people turned out for the mid-winter swim at Scarborough Beach on Sunday. The community<br />

Ease Those Aching Joints at Kōwhai Vet<br />
Caring for Dogs with Arthritis<br />
At Kōwhai Vet, we understand how much your furry friend<br />
means to you. Seeing them struggle with arthritis can be heartwrenching,<br />
but with the right care and adjustments, we can<br />
help make their life more comfortable and enjoyable. Here’s a<br />
guide to understanding and managing arthritis in dogs.<br />
What is Osteoarthritis?<br />
Osteoarthritis (OA) is like the wear and tear we humans<br />
experience in our joints as we age. It’s a condition where the<br />
protective cartilage in a dog’s joints wears down over time,<br />
leading to pain and stiffness. This is particularly common in<br />
older dogs and certain breeds that are more prone to joint<br />
issues.<br />
Diagnosing Osteoarthritis<br />
Osteoarthritis is diagnosed through a combination of signs<br />
that you may notice at home about your pet’s reduced<br />
mobility, physical examination and x-rays. When you bring<br />
your dog to Kōwhai Vet, our vets will perform a gentle and<br />
thorough physical exam. We’ll check for signs like swelling,<br />
reduced range of motion, and any discomfort your dog might<br />
feel when we touch their joints. We’ll also watch how they walk<br />
and move around. To get a clearer picture, we might suggest<br />
taking some x-rays. These images help us see the inside of<br />
Normal Hips<br />
Severe arthritis in hips<br />
The hips are a common joint for the<br />
development of osteoarthritis<br />
your dog’s joints and check for signs of osteoarthritis like<br />
bone spurs or narrowed joint spaces. It also helps us to rule<br />
out other possible causes of the pain such as bone tumours.<br />
Sometimes, we might recommend more detailed imaging, but<br />
x-rays are usually a great start.<br />
Medical Treatments for Pain Relief Managing<br />
your dog’s pain is our top priority.<br />
Here are some common treatments we might recommend:<br />
• Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs<br />
are a staple for reducing inflammation and pain in dogs<br />
with arthritis. Medications like carprofen, meloxicam,<br />
and deracoxib can make a big difference. Of course, we’ll<br />
monitor your dog closely to avoid any side effects.<br />
• Beransa: We’re<br />
excited about Beransa<br />
(bedinvetmab), a newer<br />
treatment that’s been<br />
helping many dogs. It’s<br />
a monthly injection that<br />
targets and neutralises a<br />
protein involved in pain<br />
signalling, providing<br />
significant relief and<br />
improving mobility.<br />
Supportive Treatments<br />
Alongside medications, there are several other ways we can<br />
support your dog’s joint health:<br />
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These supplements, found in fish<br />
oil, can help reduce inflammation. We’ll guide you on how<br />
to incorporate them into your dog’s diet safely.<br />
• Weight Management: Keeping your dog at a healthy<br />
weight is crucial. Extra pounds put more strain on their<br />
joints, so we’ll work with you to develop a balanced diet<br />
and exercise plan.<br />
• Physical Therapy: Just like humans, dogs benefit from<br />
physical therapy. Tailored exercises and stretches<br />
can improve joint function and muscle strength.<br />
Hydrotherapy, or water therapy, is especially gentle on<br />
joints and very effective.<br />
Making Your Home Comfortable<br />
Small changes at home can make a big difference for a dog<br />
with arthritis:<br />
• Non-Slip Mats: Adding non-slip mats or rugs on slippery<br />
floors can help your dog move around more confidently<br />
without the fear of slipping.<br />
• Orthopaedic Dog Beds: Invest in a good orthopaedic<br />
dog bed. These beds provide excellent support and<br />
cushioning, helping your dog rest comfortably.<br />
• Ramps: Using ramps instead of stairs helps your dog<br />
avoid the strain of jumping or climbing. This is great for<br />
getting in and out of cars or navigating steps.<br />
• Raised Food and Water Bowls: Elevate your dog’s food<br />
and water bowls. This simple change means they don’t<br />
have to bend down as much, reducing strain on their neck<br />
and joints.<br />
• Slings or Harnesses: For dogs with severe mobility issues,<br />
a sling or harness can be very helpful. It allows you to<br />
support your dog and help them move around without<br />
putting extra pressure on their joints.<br />
At Kōwhai Vet Clinic, we’re here to support you and your<br />
dog through every stage of their arthritis journey. By<br />
combining medical treatments, supportive therapies, and<br />
a few home adjustments, we can help your furry friend live<br />
a comfortable and happy life. If you have any questions or<br />
need personalised advice, please don’t hesitate to reach out<br />
to us. Together, we can make a world of difference for your<br />
beloved pet.<br />
For any specific treatments and recommendations tailored<br />
to your dog’s condition, please consult with us at Kōwhai<br />
Vet Clinic. We’re always here to help.<br />

MG4 X-Power potent but lacking polish<br />
THE X-POWER is the wild child<br />
hot EV hatch in the MG4 range<br />
that has a bit of larrikin thrown<br />
into the mix, adding intrigue<br />
and excitement to its multidimensional<br />
personality.<br />
The adrenalin charged,<br />
X-Power is easily the fastest and<br />
most potent production MG ever.<br />
It is capable of knocking out the<br />
0-100km/h dash in a vivid 3.8<br />
seconds, boasting dual-motor<br />
power of 320kW and 600Nm of<br />
torque all for $69,990.<br />
It’s a performance car steal even<br />
in a post Clean Car Discount<br />
world. Nine months ago it would<br />
have attracted a healthy $7015<br />
rebate, meaning you could have<br />
driven away in this barnstormer<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
for an absurdly cheap $62,975.<br />
Specification enhancements<br />
include orange brake calipers, a<br />
two-tone black roof, 18-inch alloy<br />
wheels and polished trim accents,<br />
and an exclusive attention<br />
grabbing new Hunter Green<br />
colour option that the test vehicle<br />
sported.<br />
Not only is this compact fivedoor<br />
hatch quick, it’s also a fast<br />
charger capable of recharging at<br />
up to 140kW, in a charge time of<br />
only 26 minutes from 10-80 per<br />
cent using a 150kW DC rapid<br />
charger.<br />
The X-Power is equipped<br />
with an all-new dual motor<br />
configuration delivering up to<br />
320 action packed kilowatts of<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 9; Handling 7; Build Quality<br />
7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Styling 7; Value<br />
for money 9; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 8<br />
peak performance to all four<br />
wheels, via front (150kW) and<br />
rear (170kW) electric motors.<br />
Its accelerative powers are<br />
remarkable with throttle<br />
response both breathtaking and<br />
instant.<br />
Tyre rumble, especially on<br />
coarse road surfaces, becomes<br />
especially niggly on longer trips.<br />
Apart from this irritation, it’s<br />
smooth and silent around town,<br />
ticking even more boxes for an<br />
already appealing vehicle.<br />
The claimed 450km plus allelectric<br />
driving range shrinks<br />
rapidly if you binge on the<br />
X-Power’s addictive performance.<br />
A modern and thoughtfully<br />
designed cabin is well<br />
put together but given its<br />
performance hero status in the<br />
MG family, the interior doesn’t<br />
have the expected X-factor.<br />
On the outside, the generic EV<br />
styling looks far too much like its<br />
mainstream siblings. A bit more<br />
X-factor wouldn’t go amiss here<br />
either.<br />
The X-Power has almost every<br />
technology base is covered.<br />
I especially liked the clever<br />
dual-screen technology with<br />
configurable driver display,<br />
featuring a floating infotainment<br />
screen, and an audio system with<br />
Apple Car Play and Android<br />
Auto.<br />
A rotary dial gear selector is<br />
intuitive and easy to use, while<br />
getting to where you want to<br />
go is made easy with satellite<br />
navigation.<br />
The MG Pilot system makes<br />
a compelling safety statement<br />
off the back of a comprehensive<br />
package of standard safety kit.<br />
The test car felt super solid,<br />
agile and stable on the road and<br />
body roll is superbly contained<br />
under brisk cornering.<br />
Direct and well-weighted<br />
steering with just the right<br />
balance of road feel, rounds<br />
things out nicely. However, as<br />
an overall ride and handling<br />
package it falls short of the best<br />
hyper hot hatches, although you<br />
have to cut the X-Power a little<br />
slack as most of are priced well<br />
north of this one.<br />
Even making those allowances,<br />
more finessing is required to take<br />
some of the edge off the hard<br />
low-speed ride. Another work-on<br />
is dialling back the suspension<br />
noise that’s fairly strident over<br />
more demanding patchwork and<br />
potholed road surfaces that ask<br />
the hard questions of a vehicle’s<br />
suspension.<br />
