School may be on Maori burial site<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
ONE SITE for the new Redcliffs<br />
School could be home to a<br />
historic Maori burial ground.<br />
That’s the result of a<br />
Ministry of Education<br />
feasibility report into Redcliffs<br />
Park.<br />
Management advisory<br />
company Mahaanui<br />
Kurataiao Ltd told the<br />
ministry there is evidence<br />
to suggest that urupa<br />
(burial grounds) could be<br />
located in the immediate<br />
vicinity of the park, which<br />
is a possible location for the<br />
school.<br />
Jerome<br />
Sheppard<br />
But local MP Nuk Korako said<br />
the ministry has already engaged<br />
with mana whenua over the<br />
discovery of bones.<br />
“Our tikanga is to determine<br />
if they’re human remains<br />
and, if so, we have the<br />
necessary protocol where<br />
we would take them and<br />
re-intern them somewhere<br />
else,” he said.<br />
The report outlined<br />
Redcliffs Park, Barnett<br />
Park and McCormacks<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Reserve as the three<br />
options for relocation of<br />
the school. The former Main Rd<br />
site wasn’t investigated in the<br />
study.<br />
Three possible school locations<br />
have been identified within Redcliffs<br />
Park.<br />
Redcliffs School Board of Trustees<br />
spokesman Mark Robberds<br />
said location C was the preference<br />
for the school.<br />
People living adjacent to the<br />
park told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News this<br />
week they’re angry they weren’t<br />
notified Redcliffs Park was a<br />
possible option.<br />
They did not want to be identified<br />
because they feared a community<br />
backlash against them.<br />
“It was a shock. It’s really<br />
upsetting – I was upset and quite<br />
tearful,” one homeowner said.<br />
“Had there been consultation<br />
or discussion, it would’ve been<br />
just so much better, but to be<br />
dropped into it is just such an<br />
unreasonable thing to do.”<br />
Homeowners are also worried<br />
their property values will decrease.<br />
“The worst case scenario is<br />
we could end up with a loss of<br />
property value of $300,000 to<br />
$400,000 and we can’t do anything<br />
about it. From the financial<br />
point of view, it’s not good. The<br />
worst thing is losing the enjoyment<br />
of what we took for granted<br />
as being permanent.”<br />
The report stated the purchase<br />
of vacant residential land at<br />
19 Main Rd would enhance<br />
the school, but a neighbouring<br />
resident said it was recently<br />
purchased. The study also shows<br />
Redcliffs Park is susceptible to<br />
rockfall, flooding and tsunamis.<br />
Ministry of Education head of<br />
the education infrastructure service<br />
Jerome Sheppard remained<br />
tight-lipped about the ministry’s<br />
location preferences.<br />
“The master planning for the<br />
Redcliffs Park site has yet to be<br />
undertaken. Therefore, the exact<br />
location of the school hasn’t yet<br />
been determined,” he said.<br />

NOT EVERYONE is happy with<br />
Redcliffs Park as the site for the<br />
new Redcliffs School.<br />
Reporter Annabelle Dick doorknocked<br />
a number of people living<br />
adjacent to the park, and their<br />
responses were unanimous: “We<br />
don’t want the school here.”<br />
None though would allow their<br />
names to be used, fearing they<br />
would be singled out in the tightknit<br />
Redcliffs community for being<br />
negative.<br />
We also reveal in our article<br />
on page 1 that there could be a<br />
historic Maori burial site on one of<br />
the areas the school will be sited.<br />
MP Nuk Korako says it won’t be<br />
an issue if that’s the case. But time<br />
will tell on that one.<br />

Insurance<br />
payout<br />
for bridge<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
AN INSURANCE payment<br />
of nearly $6 million has been<br />
received for the Ferrymead<br />
Bridge.<br />
City council finance and commercial<br />
general manager Peter<br />
Gudsell said it had received the<br />
total $5,916,260 of its insurance<br />
pay out.<br />
He said the city council’s claim<br />
was for extra costs for the bridge<br />
due to the damage it received in<br />
the February 2011 earthquake.<br />
“This was complicated by<br />
design changes and ground<br />
conditions. The recovery was a<br />
fair reflection of the policy entitlements.”<br />
However, the city council found<br />
out on Monday it had to pay $3.25<br />
million of that to New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency for the money it<br />
put into the replacement, he said.<br />
The new bridge opened in September<br />
last year, with the budget<br />
having blown out by more than<br />
$20 million.<br />
In 2011, the city council decided<br />
to replace the bridge, and budgeted<br />
$18 million for it.<br />
But by <strong>November</strong> 2012, after<br />
more detail the cost blew out to<br />
$34.9 million. In the end, it cost<br />
$38.8 million.<br />
Celebrations as new<br />
Redcliffs seawall opens<br />
REDCLIFFS residents now<br />
have greater security against<br />
flooding with the completion<br />
of the new Beachville Rd<br />
seawall.<br />
THe 500m seawall<br />
reconstruction was celebrated<br />
at the weekend with a<br />
community event and launch<br />
ceremony.<br />
Heathcote Ward city<br />
councillor Sara Templeton<br />
declared the project finished<br />
with the cutting of a ribbon<br />
on Beachville Rd on Sunday.<br />
“THe completion of this<br />
project is fantastic for the<br />
local community. It not only<br />
provides the protection of the<br />
seawall, but the continuation<br />
of the coastal pathway which<br />
is an important connection<br />
between the coastal<br />
communities and enables<br />
a wide range of recreation<br />
activities,” Cr Templeton said.<br />
The year-long, $8 million<br />
project saw the rebuild of the<br />
seawall and the construction<br />
of a new section of the coastal<br />
pathway.<br />
The pathway spans 1.2km<br />
and includes new stormwater<br />
pipes, road and kerb and<br />
channels.<br />

It now connects from<br />
Ferrymead to the end of<br />
Beachville Rd, Redcliffs.<br />
The original 100-year-old<br />
seawall structure was severely<br />
damaged during the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake and had<br />
to be rebuilt.<br />
The wall dropped up<br />
to 50cm and slumped<br />
forward up to 1m in places<br />
leaving Beachville Rd<br />
vulnerable to flooding during<br />
bad weather.<br />
“The new seawall provides<br />
protection from erosion and<br />
it offers more resilience in<br />
the event of storm surges<br />
and future seismic activity,”<br />
SCIRT executive general<br />
manager Ian Campbell<br />
said.<br />
As SCIRT’s construction<br />
programme winds down, the<br />
city council will begin on its<br />
$450 million project to repair<br />
and maintain underground<br />
pipe.<br />
In Brief<br />
RENAMED PARKS<br />
Two Duvauchelle reserves have<br />
been renamed. Earlier this year,<br />
the former Akaroa-Wairewa<br />
Community Board asked the<br />
city council to approve the name<br />
changes of <strong>Bay</strong>view Reserve to Ron<br />
Nuttall Reserve, and Duvauchelle<br />
Reserve to Marshall Reserve. Ron<br />
Nuttall was a long-time holiday<br />
home owner who promoted,<br />
co-ordinated and did most of the<br />
planting in the reserve. Marshall<br />
Reserve has been named after the<br />
Marshall family, who carried out<br />
the initial subdivision of the area,<br />
and were involved in community<br />
events and committees over the<br />
years.<br />
LOCAL FACES EXHIBIT<br />
Lyttelton artist Julia Holden has<br />
launched her exhibition showcasing<br />
port locals. The Lyttelton Redux<br />
project started yesterday and shows<br />
23 portraits of residents, including<br />
Sergeant Dave Knowles and The<br />
Eastern’s Adam McGrath. The<br />
exhibition will show at 50 Works<br />
Gallery and run until March.<br />

New school site report outlines<br />
The long-awaited Ministry of Education feasibility<br />
report investigating site options for Redcliffs School<br />
has just been released. Annabelle Dick looks into<br />
the study and issues facing the park.<br />
THE PROBLEMS facing<br />
Redcliffs Park have come to light<br />
as a newly-released Ministry of<br />
Education report shows the site is<br />
susceptible to rockfall, flooding<br />
and tsunamis.<br />
Following Education Minister<br />
Hekia Parata’s announcement<br />
last week that Redcliffs Park will<br />
be the future site of Redcliffs<br />
School, the ministry now has to<br />
make a decision on where the<br />
school will be located within the<br />
park.<br />
In a Ministry of Education<br />
feasibility study, McCormacks<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Reserve and Barnett Park<br />
were also explored as site options<br />
but the former Main Rd school<br />
site was not.<br />
Three locations within Redcliffs<br />
Park have been finalised as<br />
the possible school site – location<br />
A, location B and location C.<br />
Location A sits on the eastern<br />
boundary beside Celia St and<br />
location B on the boundary near<br />
Main Rd.<br />
Location C was suggested as<br />
an option by the Redcliffs School<br />
Steering Group after the first<br />
report was already completed.<br />
It sits on the west and northwestern<br />
boundary of the park<br />
similar to Location B, but the<br />
proposed site has been brought<br />
forward about 20m inside the<br />
park boundary with Main Rd.<br />
Location C scored highest in<br />
the ministry’s Methodology for<br />
New School Site Evaluation.<br />
But all of the locations sit<br />
within problem areas in the city<br />
council’s Proposed Replacement<br />
Christchurch District Plan.<br />
The three options fall in the<br />
coastal environment overlay of<br />
the replacement plan, which is at<br />
risk from a tsunami.<br />
In the feasibility report, chartered<br />
professional engineer Nick<br />
Harwood, an expert in geotechnical<br />
engineering, believes the<br />
former Main Rd site would be a<br />
safer option.<br />
“I am uncomfortable with proposals<br />
to consider a new school<br />
site in a mapped tsunami zone,<br />
especially when there is a clear<br />
option (Main Rd) that eliminates<br />
the hazard zone. My gut feel is<br />
that I’d be uncomfortable putting<br />
my kids in a school with a<br />
tsunami hazard,” he said.<br />
NEW SITE: Redcliffs Park scored the highest compared to<br />
McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Reserve and Barnett Park in a Ministry of<br />
Education feasibility report on where Redcliffs School should<br />
be located.<br />
Redcliffs Park also sits within<br />
Coastal Erosion Hazard Zone 1<br />
and 2 and Coastal Inundation<br />
Hazard Zone 1 and 2 on the city<br />
council-commissioned Coastal<br />
Hazards Assessment Report.<br />
That means it’s susceptible to<br />
coastal erosion over the next 50<br />
years and coastal inundation<br />
(flooding by the sea) in a one in<br />
50-year storm event.<br />
Location A would need about<br />
1.5m of fill to bring it to the<br />
minimum floor level required by<br />
the city council.<br />
The feasibility study says the<br />
building platform for location<br />
B is likely to be outside the area<br />
subject to flooding or coastal<br />
inundation, but the playing fields<br />
and access roads wouldn’t.<br />
Tonkin & Taylor also advised<br />
that all of the sites have geotechnical<br />
issues.<br />
On location B, the replacement<br />
plan shows Cliff Hazard Management<br />
Area 2 runs 4m into the<br />
site’s boundary.<br />
Remediation work is being<br />
done on the cliff face opposite the<br />
site, but the site is likely to still<br />
remain in the Cliff Hazard Management<br />
Area 2 in the plan.<br />
Redcliffs Park was also a landfill<br />
and the activity affects the<br />
western part of the site.<br />
Tonkin & Taylor has assessed<br />
a low to moderate potential soil<br />
contamination issues, and low to<br />
moderate potential for pesticide<br />
contamination of sports field soil.<br />
Location A is affected more<br />
than location B, which mostly<br />
sits above the closed landfill.<br />
The report stated the site would<br />
need to be carefully managed<br />
during development as run-off<br />
and sedimentation could seep<br />
into the estuary.<br />
Locations B and C are further<br />
away from the estuary and the<br />
report has listed them as a preferred<br />
option for that reason.<br />
All sites had cultural significance<br />
and value investigated and<br />
Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd noted

issues Govt considered<br />
Locations B and C are further<br />
away from the estuary and the<br />
report has listed them as a preferred<br />
option for that reason.<br />
All sites had cultural significance<br />
and value investigated and<br />
Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd noted<br />
that there is evidence to suggest<br />
that urupa (burial grounds)<br />
could be located in the immediate<br />
vicinity of location C.<br />
All locations have issues<br />
but location B and C score<br />
much higher than location A<br />
because it has better results<br />
for geotechnical, flooding,<br />
contamination and co-location in<br />
the criteria.<br />
The Redcliffs School Board of<br />
Trustees has indicated location<br />
C is its preferred option but is<br />
keeping its mind open.<br />
“That’s the one we’ve shown the<br />
most interest in but we can’t rule<br />
anything out. Location B and<br />
C make more sense in terms of<br />
accessibility and lower impact on<br />
the amenity of the park,” trustee<br />
Mark Robberds said.<br />
The report has attracted criticism,<br />
as Mr Harwood said the<br />
old site should’ve been considered<br />
because it would do well on<br />
acquisition cost, construction<br />
cost and geotech hazard.<br />
“It seems incomplete not to<br />
have included the Main Rd site in<br />
the site comparison assessment to<br />
VIEW FROM ABOVE: Location A sits at a different end of the park than B and C, which are the<br />
preferred options<br />
gauge how that site fairs with the<br />
alternatives,” he said.<br />
The ministry will now go<br />
through the process to acquire<br />
Redcliffs Park from the city<br />
council and a site will be chosen<br />
thereafter.<br />

ROCK WALL ONGOING<br />
Work will continue on<br />
Heberden Ave to build a rock<br />
protection wall. Fulton Hogan<br />
is building the 1.5m rock<br />
protection wall, which has<br />
closed the corridor and meant<br />
that detours are in place. The<br />
work is expected to take until<br />
<strong>November</strong> 30. City Care has<br />
also started repairing part of<br />
the gravity wastewater pipe on<br />
Heberden Ave. Workers will<br />
dig down to the pipe, repair the<br />
damage, reseal the road and<br />
repaint the road markings. It is<br />
expected to be finished at the<br />
end of the week.<br />
PLANTING DAY<br />
Residents are needed to help<br />
plant native seedlings at Drayton<br />
Reserve. A working group<br />

Learn to<br />
save the<br />
whales<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A PROGRAMME aimed at<br />
teaching people how to save whales<br />
will come to Sumner later this<br />
month.<br />
Project Jonah is an animal welfare<br />
charity that rescues stranded<br />
mammals, holds awareness campaigns<br />
and education seminars,<br />
and acts as a watchdog for water<br />
species.<br />
Project Jonah also teaches residents<br />
how to save whales if they see<br />
them washed up.<br />
“Saving whales isn’t as easy<br />
as it looks. A stranding site is a<br />
dangerous place and people can<br />
sometimes make mistakes,” Project<br />
Jonah general manager Daren<br />
Grover said.<br />
“It’s important that people understand<br />
the complexity of strandings,<br />
why they happen and what<br />
they can do to help.”<br />
In June this year, Project Jonah<br />
and the Department of Conservation<br />
helped a stranded whale on<br />
Waimairi Beach back into the<br />
water.<br />
Project Jonah is holding first aid<br />
training at Sumner Beach on Saturday,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 26 and Sunday,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 27.<br />

Fearless Fraser gives it a go<br />
Stand-up paddle<br />
boarding combines<br />
rowing with surfing and<br />
is a great workout as<br />
reporter Fraser<br />
Walker-Pearce<br />
experienced when he<br />
was asked to have a go<br />
at the growing sport.<br />
He joined in on a lesson<br />
at the Naval Point Club<br />
Lyttelton<br />
I DON’T know how you<br />
spent your Saturday morning,<br />
but I spent mine desperately<br />
scrambling back out of Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Now, don’t feel too sorry for<br />
me, it was actually my choice to<br />
be there in the first place.<br />
I was invited out by the good<br />
folks at Naval Point Club Lyttelton<br />
to try my hand at stand-up<br />
paddle boarding with a class<br />
they had put on.<br />
Stand-up paddle boarding gets<br />
you standing on a surf board<br />
with a paddle and rowing yourself<br />
around. It’s a combination of<br />
surfing and kayaking.<br />
I joined in with a group of<br />
three girls, all of whom had<br />
never tried paddle boarding<br />
before, and we began learning<br />

our two tutors, Alan and Tyler.<br />
Alan thrust at me the longest<br />
paddle board and paddle, along<br />

some sort of new pack thing,<br />
which wraps around your hips.<br />
He joked, “you can swim right?<br />
Here you are.”<br />
“Great” I thought.<br />
We knelt on our boards and<br />
learned how best to tackle the<br />
rolling waves of the harbour and<br />
the easiest way to get the most<br />
out of our paddles and then we<br />
hit the water.<br />
We started out in the shallows<br />
on our knees and, as we grew in<br />
confidence (my first mistake), we<br />
paddled deeper and stood up.<br />
Alan showed us how to turn<br />
on a dime and move up and<br />
down the board with ease.<br />
But it was when he asked us to<br />
stand down the tail end of the<br />
board that it all fell to pieces for<br />
me.<br />
I slowly shimmied my way<br />
down the board, ensuring my<br />
knees were bent and my eyes<br />
forward. But I went too far.<br />
In an instant, I felt the board’s<br />
nose lift and the tail drop, my<br />
balance was all out, and before I<br />
could yell out, I was over and my<br />
nose and tail were wet.<br />
There’s no shock quite like<br />
being completely dry one second<br />
and then completely submerged<br />
in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> the next.<br />
Thankfully, there’s no photographic<br />
evidence that I fell in.<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> research praised<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
LYTTELTON PEOPLE want<br />
more research done on the<br />
harbour’s reefs.<br />
More than 50 people attended<br />
a meeting to discuss research<br />
findings by Dr<br />
Tommaso Alestra<br />
(left) and Dr<br />
Mads Thomsen,<br />
of Canterbury<br />
University’s marine<br />
ecology research<br />
group, about the harbour’s reef<br />
biodiversity and an invasive<br />
Japanese algae.<br />
“The level of attention, engagement<br />
and participation was<br />
impressive. We were asked lot<br />
of interesting questions and we<br />
received lot of interesting feedback,’<br />
Dr Alestra said.<br />
“I didn’t want this to be a lecture,<br />
but a two-way conversation<br />
and I’m glad that it went exactly<br />
that way.”<br />
Last year, Environment<br />
Canterbury asked the marine<br />
ecologists to write a report on<br />
intertidal reefs, the area above<br />
water at low tide and under<br />
water at high tide.<br />
The pair went around the<br />
harbour’s rocky reefs looking<br />
at what was there, what species<br />
were there like algae and<br />
ECO-SYSTEM: Research on Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>’s reefs has<br />
prompted residents to ask for more.<br />
animals and how abundant they<br />
were.<br />
“Extensive research on these<br />
reefs has never been done before,”<br />
Dr Alestra said.<br />
Dr Thomsen researched the<br />
seaweed Undaria pinnatifida<br />
and looked at how it affected<br />
other marine organisms.<br />
“We found that Undaria is not<br />
so terrible to the other algae and<br />
they co-exist quite nicely, so it’s<br />
interesting to see such an abundance<br />
of Undaria that doesn’t<br />
seem to have a great impact on<br />
other algae,” Dr Alestra said.<br />
He said more research has<br />
been encouraged locally, as<br />
residents asked whether the<br />
rocky reef monitoring will be<br />
repeated and if new sites will be<br />
looked at.<br />
“I am a long-term resident<br />
(and was) surprised to hear<br />
that areas of the harbour are<br />
relatively healthy. We need to<br />
ensure ongoing monitoring,”<br />
John McLister, of Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, said.<br />
“When research is undertaken<br />
in an area that you love, you<br />
want to learn of the results,” Port<br />
Hills Labour MP Ruth Dyson<br />
said.<br />
Dr Alestra said the meeting<br />
provided an opportunity to<br />
combine science and local<br />
knowledge on the harbour.<br />
“The turn out is testament<br />
to the love and interest the<br />
community has in the health of<br />
the harbour. There is a strong<br />
need for ongoing monitoring of<br />
the health of the harbour into<br />
the future,” Dr Alestra said.<br />
The pair have had discussions<br />
with Ecan about undertaking<br />
more research.<br />
Freedom<br />
campers go<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
FREEDOM CAMPERS have<br />
been banned from Windsport<br />
Park, French Farm and Wainui<br />
foreshores.<br />
Last week the city council approved<br />
the amendments to the<br />
Freedom Camping Bylaw to permanently<br />
ban freedom camping<br />
from those sites.<br />
They’ve also been banned from<br />
Addington Park and the Lower<br />
Styx River Mouth.<br />
But the amended bylaw will<br />
allow certified, self-contained<br />
freedom camping, without a time<br />
restriction, in rural zones.<br />
Fifty-five out of 72 public submissions<br />
expressed general support<br />
for changes that would see freedom<br />
camping banned at the sites.<br />
French Farm was closed to the<br />
public in March due to contamination<br />
from overflowing septic tanks<br />
and had up to 41 vehicles on site at<br />
any time, while Wainui had up to<br />
nine.<br />
A $19,435 city council-commissioned<br />
report found that the<br />
4760-litre septic tank at French<br />
Farm was only capable of serving<br />
a maximum of 23 people each day<br />
while the 4000-litre septic tank at<br />
Wainui could only serve 19.<br />
The new rules come into effect<br />
from December 1.<br />

Less noise<br />
made by<br />
Awaroa<br />
THE HARBOUR area should hear<br />
less noise coming from the pilot<br />
vessel Awaroa.<br />
Lyttelton Port Company has<br />
modified the vessel after it received<br />
criticism from residents for being<br />
too loud.<br />
A silencer has been installed on its<br />
exhaust and LPC said testing done<br />
before and after the modification<br />
shows noise emissions from the vessel<br />
have decreased.<br />
“Residents in the vicinity of the<br />
path which the Awaroa travels<br />
should notice that the noise of the<br />
vessel has reduced in magnitude and<br />
character,” said LPC chief executive<br />
Peter Davie.<br />
The boat travels through the harbour<br />
six to eight times a day.<br />
The 16m-long pilot launch replaced<br />
the 12m Canterbury vessel<br />
and has been used by the company<br />
since February.<br />
LPC said feedback about noise<br />
mostly came from Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
residents.<br />
“It takes the Awaroa just under<br />
five minutes to travel from the moles<br />
to the breakwater, which is the area<br />
in which Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> residents<br />
are most likely to hear it,” Mr<br />
Davie said.<br />
Duo ready for Selwyn Sounds<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
BESIDES BOTH living in<br />
Lincoln, there is one important<br />
thing that former World Cup<br />
winning women’s cricketer<br />
Katrina Keenan and aircraft<br />
technician Dave McKenzie have<br />
in common – music.<br />
The duo, who perform cover<br />
songs together under the name<br />
of Southfield, will debut their<br />
first original song when they<br />
play as one of the opening acts at<br />
Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds concert<br />
in March.<br />
The show features big name<br />
New Zealand acts such as Mi-Sex,<br />
Dragon and The Jordan Luck<br />
Band.<br />
The pair first met at a social<br />
gathering at a friends place and<br />
when McKenzie got his guitar out<br />
to play a few tunes, Keenan took<br />
notice.<br />
“I thought ‘oh, he’s quite accomplished,<br />
I wonder if he would<br />
be interested in doing something<br />
as a duo’.”<br />
As it turned out, he was so they<br />
chose a band name based on the<br />
street that McKenzie lives on –<br />
Southfield Drive – and have now<br />
been playing together for about a<br />
year.<br />
While Keenan (nee Withers) is<br />
best known for her six years as a<br />
player and further year as coach<br />
of national women’s cricket side<br />
the White Ferns, this isn’t her first<br />
foray into music.<br />
A country pop song she wrote<br />
and recorded about 15 years ago,<br />
called If Ever I’ve Been Loved, got<br />
some air play on Christchurch<br />
radio and earned her a spot as a<br />
solo artist opening for American<br />
country and pop artists Charlie<br />
Pride and Gene Pitney when they<br />
played at the Christchurch Town<br />
Hall.<br />
Keenan and McKenzie plan to<br />
upload their new song to their<br />
Facebook page on the day of<br />
the concert but have no plans to<br />
release an album.<br />
“We are both individually busy<br />
with our other career paths,” she<br />
said.<br />
“This is more of a passion and a<br />
hobby.”<br />
•Selwyn Sounds will be held<br />
on March 4, from 11.30am-<br />
8.30pm. Tickets can be<br />
purchased via Ticketek and<br />
buyers will be able to prepurchase<br />
a return bus ride<br />
between pick up points in<br />
Christchurch or Rolleston and<br />
Lincoln Domain.<br />
RIGHT NOTES: Dave McKenzie and Katrina Keenan’s<br />
band name Southfield was inspired by the Lincoln<br />
street on which McKenzie lives. They will debut their<br />
first original song as a duo at next year’s Selwyn<br />
Sounds concert.<br />

News<br />
Emails reveal why Nga Tahu pulled<br />
Concept plans for the new Akaroa Health Hub have<br />
been approved and the project is progressing – but<br />
it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Bridget Rutherford<br />
looks into what led major funder, Ngai Tahu<br />
Property, to pull out of the project<br />
NGAI TAHU Property pulled<br />
out of funding the majority of<br />
a new health facility in Akaroa<br />
because its commercial terms<br />
were not met and the budget had<br />
blown out.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News has<br />
obtained the<br />
emails between the<br />
Canterbury District<br />
Health Board and<br />
Ngai Tahu Property<br />
leading up to NTP<br />
pulling the pin on<br />
the project from an<br />
Official Information<br />
Act request.<br />
NTP was to contribute $5.75<br />
David<br />
Meates<br />
million to establish the facility –<br />
which was originally expected to<br />
cost about $7.5 million.<br />
It would replace the former<br />
Onuku Rd hospital damaged<br />
in the September 2010 and<br />
February 2011 earthquakes.<br />
CDHB and the community<br />
were to contribute $1 million<br />
each. However, NTP pulled out<br />
in September last year. Until<br />
now, it was unknown as to why.<br />
The emails showed NTP had<br />
become “nervous” about the<br />
project in February last year.<br />
The early concept plan was not<br />
going to come in on budget and<br />
there was discussion over who<br />
would pay for the soft fit-out of<br />
the facility.<br />
There were also questions over<br />
whether the planned July <strong>2016</strong><br />
opening date was critical.<br />
On August 5, CDHB<br />
consultant Jeannie <strong>Bay</strong>ly asked<br />
a NTP project manager whether<br />
they could catch up to talk about<br />
the project, as it was a “priority.”<br />
The project manager’s name<br />
was redacted from the emails.<br />
She said she was trying to get<br />
a response out of a senior NTP<br />
manager (whose name was also<br />
redacted), which was proving<br />
a “lot more difficult than I had<br />
imagined!!”<br />
“I have sent him about three or<br />
four emails about Akaroa in the<br />
last 24 hours alone.”<br />
Come August 12, CDHB<br />
MULTI-PURPOSE: The concept design for the new 12-bed Akaroa Health Hub has been<br />
approved by the Akaroa Structure Group and CDHB.<br />
planning and funding team<br />
leader Carol Horgan emailed<br />
the project manager, saying the<br />
CDHB was awaiting a letter<br />
outlining NTP’s commercial<br />
terms.<br />
The project manager<br />
responded, saying: “I am<br />
hoping a letter will be with the<br />
CDHB by the end of the week<br />
outlining our commercial terms.<br />
(Redacted) has promised me he<br />
will get this done asap … I am<br />
doing my best to try and get him<br />
to honour his promise … ”<br />
A week later, the senior<br />
manager wrote an email to<br />
CDHB chief executive David<br />
Meates, saying NTP had<br />
no option but to set out its<br />
commercial terms.<br />
The terms included project<br />
establishment, project budget,<br />
rent, the management of the<br />
development process and the<br />
general partner and shareholder<br />
agreement.<br />

The senior manager said<br />
the terms were “no longer<br />
negotiable” and unless they were<br />
met, NTP could no longer be<br />
involved.<br />
He said the estimate for the<br />
project sat “well in excess” of the<br />
budget approved in principle by<br />
the CDHB.<br />
“We urgently require CDHB<br />
to review our preliminary design<br />
and confirm that it meets CDHB<br />
requirements or notify us of the<br />
changes necessary.”<br />
The emails released to <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News came as the<br />
concept design for the 12-bed<br />
facility was released.<br />
The CDHB originally refused<br />
the OIA request, but was forced<br />
to release them following an<br />
investigation by the Office of the<br />
Ombudsman.<br />
The CDHB announced last<br />
week plans developed by Ignite<br />
Architects had been signed off.<br />
The 790m 2 facility would<br />
have three main areas – general<br />
practice, four flexi beds and eight<br />
residential care beds.<br />
On August 23 last year,<br />
Akaroa Structure Group<br />
chairman Alan Bradford<br />
emailed both Mr Meates and the<br />
NTP senior manager asking that<br />
they prioritise critical activities<br />
to progress.<br />
He said the CDHB needed to<br />
decide whether the rent review<br />
proposed by NTP was acceptable<br />
or not. If not, he said NTP would<br />
no longer be involved, and they<br />
would need to decide how to<br />
proceed.<br />
“In our view if NTP withdraw<br />
that is not the end of Akaroa<br />
Health Hub – potentially there<br />
are other options.”<br />
CDHB confirmed it would<br />
respond to the senior manager’s<br />
commercial terms after a special<br />
board meeting on September 1.<br />
A public meeting was held<br />
on September 6 so Mr Meates<br />
could discuss where the project<br />
was at. NTP said it would not be<br />
attending.<br />
Four days later, Ms Horgan<br />
invited CDHB, Akaroa Structure<br />
Group and NTP representatives<br />
to a “workshop” to discuss the<br />

The old Akaroa<br />
Hospital was<br />
damaged in<br />
the September<br />
2010 and<br />

project budget.<br />
However, the project manager<br />
said NTP would prefer to<br />
wait to get confirmation from<br />
Mr Meates on whether its<br />
commercial terms would be met.<br />
By September 29, NTP sent<br />
out an email saying it had been<br />
unable to reach an agreement<br />
on “acceptable commercial<br />
terms” for the project from its<br />
perspective.<br />
“NTP believe the best outcome<br />
for this project is for NTP to step<br />
aside and for the community and<br />
CDHB to reach an agreement<br />
between the two parties.”<br />
Mr Meates told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News that NTP’s terms were<br />
“purely commercial” and not<br />
unreasonable.<br />
“However, given the need to<br />
deliver this health facility against<br />
very tight timeframes the parties<br />
were unable to get to a position<br />

Why my owners have enjoyed the nine years they have spent living in this special home. However family<br />
commitments necessitate a move and they have purchased elsewhere meaning an urgent sale is required. The<br />
property is tucked down a private lane and gives nothing away from the road, so you will need to come inside<br />
to appreciate what the home offers. Once inside you will be mesmerised by the awesome expansive views out<br />
across the city and through to the stunning Southern Alps. The sunsets and city night lights guarantee<br />
a spectacular outlook both night and day.<br />

Moving along<br />
Banks Peninsula<br />
Walking Festival<br />
co-ordinator<br />
Sarah Pritchett<br />
talks about the<br />
importance<br />
of switching off from<br />
technology and getting<br />
active<br />
As a parent of two primary<br />
school-aged boys, I worry about<br />
how much screen time they get.<br />
One of the regular triggers of<br />
arguments in our household is<br />
when I tell one of the boys that<br />
their half hour on the iPad is up.<br />
They ignore me and so I resort to<br />
physically removing it and then<br />
hiding it.<br />
Studies here and overseas show<br />
that as parents, we can be justifiably<br />
concerned about “too much<br />
screen time,” with the average<br />
child in western countries being<br />
exposed to more than double the<br />
amount of recommended screen<br />
time for their age.<br />
In New Zealand, on average,<br />
16 to 24-year-olds spend 8.9<br />
hours a day consuming media<br />
on a variety of screens. This can<br />
result in academic, mental and<br />
behavioural issues and health<br />
problems.<br />
At the other end of the spectrum,<br />
the benefits of walking in<br />
nature are also well documented.<br />
Group walking in nature is associated<br />
with a range of mental<br />
health benefits, including<br />
decreased depression, improved<br />
well-being and mental health,<br />
and lower perceived stress. It can<br />
also build resilience and perseverance<br />
– when you get tired on<br />
a long tramp generally the only<br />
option is to just keep walking.<br />
With all this in mind, the advisory<br />
group for this year’s Banks<br />
Peninsula Walking Festival<br />
decided to target “screenagers”<br />
and provide a variety of walking<br />
opportunities for teenagers and<br />
children, including overnight<br />
tramps. But with 37 walking<br />
opportunities over the four weekends<br />
of <strong>November</strong>, there is a walk<br />
for every age-group and level of<br />
fitness. History buffs, photographers,<br />
sketchers, bird watchers<br />
and botanists are all catered for.<br />
So pick up a programme at<br />
your local library or check it out<br />
at www.bp.walks.co.nz and book<br />
a walk on http://www.eventfinda.co.nz/tickets/new-zealand/<br />
tour/<strong>2016</strong>/banks-peninsula-walking-festival<br />
And those recommended<br />
screen time limits? One hour per<br />
day for children aged two to five<br />
and two hours per day for those<br />
aged five to 18.<br />
Port Hills Labour<br />
MP Ruth Dyson<br />
talks about<br />
ongoing work and<br />
developments in<br />
the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
area<br />
Everywhere you turn, there are<br />
signs of the buds of recovery in<br />
our communities – alongside the<br />
buds in the garden with the beautiful<br />
spring weather arriving!<br />
From the Redcliffs library,<br />
the Ferry Rd New World to the<br />
Beachville Rd sea wall and the<br />
coastal pathway development in<br />
this area, through to the amazing<br />
Mt Pleasant Memorial Community<br />
Centre (isn’t that a magnificent<br />
addition to the causeway).<br />
Then there’s the Heathcote Community<br />
Centre and library, the<br />
start of the Sumner Community<br />
Centre, plus the beginning of the<br />
work to re-open the Evans Pass/<br />
Sumner Rd from Sumner to Lyttelton.<br />
These developments lift people’s<br />
spirits and are great signs<br />
of the progress of rebuilding our<br />
city and community facilities.<br />
They should be celebrated not<br />
just as new buildings, facilities or<br />
structures, but as a recognition<br />
of the determination of our<br />
communities to work together,<br />
get the best design and plans, and<br />
deliver something that is fit for<br />
purpose for the future needs of<br />
local residents.<br />
Every new step is a tribute to<br />
the many local people who have<br />
worked hard to turn vision into<br />
reality.<br />
Our local businesses deserve<br />
to have a tribute paid to them as<br />
well. The last six years have been<br />
very hard on our business owners,<br />
as the population drop, street<br />
closures, parking disruptions and<br />
a lack of confidence diminishing<br />
the dollars spent has challenged<br />
them.<br />
Continued road works and<br />
traffic disruption is still challenging.<br />
But with the support of<br />
local residents, most of our businesses<br />
have survived. Many have<br />
changed the way they operate to<br />
adapt to the changed needs of<br />
their customers or to attract new<br />
customers.<br />
So please continue to support<br />
the local shops in your area –<br />
even when other options are<br />
available. We all have heard that<br />
old saying “you don’t know what<br />
you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” and if<br />
we don’t continue to support<br />
them, they may not survive in the<br />
future.<br />
That would be a loss for all of<br />
us.<br />

Great news for<br />
Redcliffs School<br />
National List<br />
MP Nuk Korako<br />
talks about<br />
Education<br />
Minister<br />
Hekia Parata’s<br />
decision to<br />
move Redcliffs School to<br />
Redcliffs Park<br />
Hekia Parata announced last<br />
week that Redcliffs School will<br />
have a new home at Redcliffs<br />
Park. It’s great that the Redcliffs<br />
students, staff and parents<br />
now have certainty about their<br />
future.<br />
The Ministry of Education<br />
has carried out analysis on<br />
moving the school to McCormacks<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Reserve, Barnett<br />
Park or Redcliffs Park, and<br />
rebuilding on the original Main<br />
Rd school site. The outcome was<br />
clear – Redcliffs Park is the best<br />
long-term location for a school.<br />
At Redcliffs Park, the school<br />
will have a larger site, the opportunity<br />
to share community<br />
facilities at the park and a site<br />
well away from the rockfall<br />
that has disrupted the previous<br />
school site.<br />
Part of the analysis that has<br />
been undertaken focused on the<br />
potential psycho-social effects<br />
on the children if they returned<br />
to the previous site. The investigation<br />
found that, although<br />
the risk of negative psychosocial<br />
impacts could be mitigated for<br />
most children, this would place<br />
additional responsibilities on<br />
staff to implement mitigation<br />
measures if the school remained<br />
on the site, and this cannot be<br />
guaranteed by the Ministry of<br />
Education or the current school<br />
board in the long term.<br />
The new site is expected to be<br />
ready by mid-2019, and Redcliffs<br />
School will continue sharing the<br />
site at Van Asch Deaf Education<br />
Centre until then.<br />
It was clear right from the<br />
beginning of my engagement<br />
with the school board and the<br />
community on this issue that<br />
it is very important to the Redcliffs<br />
community to keep their<br />
school, and this is something<br />
I have worked to convey to the<br />
minister.<br />
This positive outcome is a<br />
credit to the resilience and hard<br />
work of the school board, the<br />
teachers, the parents, and the<br />
Redcliffs community, and I<br />
acknowledge them for that.<br />
Rotary’s bid to beat polio<br />
• By Ferrymead Rotary<br />
SIXTY YEARS ago Bob Thayer<br />
was a four-year-old battling<br />
polio. These days he’s part of<br />
Rotary’s massive, worldwide<br />
drive to exterminate the<br />
crippling and potentially fatal<br />
infectious disease.<br />
Bob, now a <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
resident, had polio in his left arm<br />
and left leg during the outbreak<br />
that hit New Zealand in the mid-<br />
1950s. His father suffered similar<br />
symptoms from the disease at<br />
the same time.<br />
Recovery was “a matter of<br />
weeks” for both of them. Bob<br />
recalls headaches, vomiting and<br />
partial paralysis of his left leg.<br />
However, he did not warrant<br />
callipers and was able to walk.<br />
Another Ferrymead Rotary<br />
member, Roger Martyn, also had<br />
polio as a child – before he was<br />
one in 1942-43.<br />
Both escaped the worst of the<br />
disease that is caused by the<br />
poliovirus, which spreads from<br />
person to person, can invade the<br />
brain and spinal cord and cause<br />
paralysis. And both have escaped<br />
major, ongoing after-effects. Bob<br />
has had some leg problems (his<br />
brother maintains he “walks<br />
funny”) and suspects they are<br />
an inheritance from his polio.<br />
Certainly, his left side has been<br />
a bit weaker through adult life,<br />
and doctors have pointed to his<br />
polio as the cause. Roger has also<br />
had the occasional leg issue.<br />
Both have been part of<br />
fundraisers that have helped<br />
Ferrymead Rotary contribute<br />
regularly to Rotary’s Global<br />
Polio Eradication initiative.<br />
They are among the million-plus<br />
Rotarians who, over the last 32<br />
years, have raised more than<br />
US$1.5 billion for Rotary’s polio<br />
mission. All up, close to US$10<br />
billion has been raised by Rotary,<br />
United Nations agencies, governments<br />
and charities.<br />
Many Rotary volunteers<br />
have worked alongside UN and<br />
volunteer health professionals.<br />
Together, they have immunised<br />
more than 2.5 billion children in<br />
122 countries.<br />

plummeted 99.9 per cent in those<br />

strategy is to immunise every<br />
child regularly until the world is<br />
polio-free.<br />
Attention is now turning to<br />
holding and consolidating the<br />
gains. A further US$1.5 billion<br />
will be needed over the next couple<br />
of years, and US$5.5 billion<br />
over the next six years.<br />

A group of Mt Pleasant School year 6 pupils fundraised<br />
money to buy trees for the coastal pathway. Year 5 and 6<br />
pupils have been doing a sustainability inquiry module and<br />
a number of pupils had the idea to contribute to the coastal<br />
pathway project. A working bee was held two weeks ago<br />
at Scott Park to plant the trees. The children had two cake<br />
stalls and raised a total of $317.50 to purchase the plants.<br />
Trees for Canterbury also donated to the cause.<br />
Children from Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School’s Te<br />
Kohanga visited the curator’s house at the<br />
Botanic Gardens to participate in the city council<br />
programme Casting Magic with Worms. They learnt<br />
how worms make compost from food scraps and<br />
every student made a worm farm to take home.<br />

An organics gem in<br />
Advertorial<br />
the heart of Lyttelton<br />
Lyttelton’s <strong>Harbour</strong> Co-op has started the<br />
season with a classic spring clean – but with<br />
a twist. They have moved out the old and<br />
re-arranged the store to create a spacious new<br />
layout that invites customers into a warm,<br />
fragrant and abundant environment.<br />
“We aim to make organics affordable and<br />
available, by stocking a large variety of bulk<br />
products,” manager Lillee Star says.<br />
“This allows us to keep the prices competitive<br />
with supermarkets, often beating the nonorganic<br />
equivalent. We are also focusing on<br />
expanding our local product range. We love<br />
that we know where our food comes from, how<br />
it was grown and that it is seasonal.”<br />
The <strong>Harbour</strong> Co-op is a community-owned<br />
organic whole food store with over 210<br />
shareholder members. Eight employees and 18<br />
volunteers take care of running the business.<br />
It is a diverse team from all avenues of life,<br />
and their passion, knowledge and experience<br />
supports the co-op’s direction as a social<br />
enterprise that cares for the earth, for the<br />
people, and for fair distribution.<br />
As Lillee points out, nutrients have a big<br />
impact on our wellness. Eating organic whole<br />
foods, especially raw fresh fruit and vegetables,<br />
is the easiest way to start replenishing the body<br />
with the vitamins and minerals needed for<br />
optimal health, she says.<br />
“The heavy use of artificial fertilisers<br />
and pesticides is a normal practice within<br />
conventional agriculture, which is a major<br />
concern,” Lillee says.<br />
“This, along with other practices, kills the<br />
delicate life systems within the soil that provide<br />
all the vitamins and minerals that we need to<br />
eat in order to be healthy people.”<br />
Feedback wanted<br />
The <strong>Harbour</strong> Co-op is up for a challenge and<br />
would love to hear from their customers. They<br />
ask:<br />
* What does the supermarket offer that we<br />
don’t have in organic foods?<br />
* Is the non-organic product at the<br />
supermarket cheaper than our bulk option?<br />
* Are there locally produced items from a<br />
local business employing local people?<br />
* How we can serve you, our community?<br />
Give them your feedback by December 9<br />
and be in to win a voucher for 10 per cent off<br />
purchases at the <strong>Harbour</strong> Co-op. Email your<br />

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | NOVEMBER <strong>2016</strong><br />
EQC pays $495 million in the past year to<br />
settle Canterbury claims<br />
EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson<br />
The Earthquake Commission paid<br />
out nearly half a billion dollars to<br />
settle claims in Canterbury in the<br />
year to 30 June <strong>2016</strong>, its recently<br />
released annual report shows.<br />
The annual report includes lots of detail<br />
about the work EQC has been carrying<br />
out in Canterbury in the past year.<br />
Figures in the report show that in the<br />
2015/16 financial year, EQC paid out<br />
$495 million in claims for the 2010-2011<br />
Canterbury earthquake sequence.<br />
This total was made up of $441 million<br />
for residential building claims (both for<br />
cash settlements and managed repairs),<br />
$46 million for residential land claims<br />
and $8 million for contents claims.<br />
IN THE<br />
FINANCIAL YEAR<br />
TO<br />
30 JUNE <strong>2016</strong> EQC PAID OUT<br />
$495 MILLION<br />
MADE UP OF $441 MILLION<br />
FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CLAIMS,<br />
$46 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL<br />
LAND CLAIMS AND $8 MILLION<br />
FOR CONTENTS CLAIMS.<br />
EQC has now spent $9.4 billion<br />
(including claim handling expenses,<br />
excluding GST) in its response to the<br />
2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.<br />
This sum has been financed from the<br />
Natural Disaster Fund and by the<br />
reinsurance cover EQC had negotiated<br />
prior to the earthquakes.<br />
EQC recovered about $444 million<br />
of the cost of Canterbury claims,<br />
largely from international reinsurers,<br />
in 2015/16.<br />
EQC also paid out $25 million for claims<br />
other than those from the 2010-2011<br />
Canterbury earthquakes. This includes<br />
$4.7 million for claims from the<br />
February <strong>2016</strong> earthquakes.<br />
AT 30 JUNE <strong>2016</strong>,<br />
EQC HAD<br />
COMPLETED<br />
REPAIRS<br />
ON MORE THAN 67,000 HOMES,<br />
SETTLED 187,000 CONTENTS<br />
CLAIMS, COMPLETED CLAIMS<br />
FOR LAND DAMAGE TO<br />
66,000 PROPERTIES.<br />
In Canterbury, as at 30 June <strong>2016</strong>, EQC<br />
had completed repairs on more than<br />
67,000 homes, settled 187,000<br />
contents claims and completed claims<br />
for land damage to 66,000 properties.<br />
“By the end of the year we aim to<br />
have cash settled the more than<br />
14,000 claims from the February <strong>2016</strong><br />
earthquakes,” says Chief Executive<br />
Ian Simpson.<br />
Mr Simpson reaffirmed EQC’s ongoing<br />
commitment to Canterbury in 2017.<br />
“In the upcoming year, EQC will<br />
continue to be present in Canterbury<br />
resolving remedial requests on<br />
properties where we have managed a<br />
repair. There is also a range of<br />
administrative and financial tasks to be<br />
completed.”<br />
AS AT 30 JUNE <strong>2016</strong>,<br />
EQC HAD PAID OUT<br />
$9.4 BILLION<br />
IN RESPONSE TO THE 2010-2011<br />
CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES.<br />
THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE<br />
NATURAL DISASTER FUND<br />
AND REINSURANCE.<br />
Mr Simpson says that EQC has adequate<br />
funds to continue to operate and to meet<br />
its financial obligations and settle claims.<br />
“There is always a high level of<br />
uncertainty when it comes to settling<br />
claims. For instance with home repairs,<br />
the true extent of damage may only<br />
become clear once repairs begin and<br />
tradies start ripping off weatherboards<br />
or lifting floorboards.<br />
IN ADDITION,<br />
AS AT 30 JUNE <strong>2016</strong><br />
EQC HAD PAID OUT<br />
$4.7 MILLION<br />
FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE<br />
FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> EARTHQUAKES<br />
IN CANTERBURY.<br />
“Because of this uncertainty, we have<br />
built a margin into our estimates of what<br />
the Canterbury claims will cost.<br />
“In the event that we did need to use all<br />
of this margin, the Crown has confirmed<br />
in writing that it will meet its obligations<br />
under the Earthquake Commission Act to<br />
ensure that EQC can meet all its liabilities<br />
as they fall due,” Mr Simpson says.<br />
The EQC Annual Report shows that EQC<br />
received about $280 million in premiums<br />
and spent $210 million on expenses,<br />
excluding claims payments and claims<br />
handling expenses for the 2010-2011<br />
Canterbury earthquake sequence.<br />
“Our largest expense was the $150<br />
million in premiums for reinsurance,<br />
which currently provides New Zealand<br />
with access to $4.69 billion in cover<br />
for natural disasters, once the cost of<br />
these events exceeds the deductible,”<br />
Mr Simpson says.<br />
A copy of the EQC Annual Report<br />
2015/16 can be downloaded from the<br />
EQC website.<br />
Canterbury students<br />
head to Chile for<br />
earthquake conference<br />
Five engineering students from University of Canterbury will be<br />
attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering<br />
(16WCEE) in Chile this January thanks to sponsorship from EQC and<br />
the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineers (NZSEE).<br />
EQC’s Research Strategy and Investment Manager Richard Smith says the<br />
sponsorship goes partway to supporting students and practitioners to<br />
attend the conference, which is the preeminent gathering of engineers<br />
involved in seismic resistant design.<br />
“WCEE is to earthquake engineers what the Olympics are to sport. This<br />
opportunity gives these students exposure to ideas and knowledge from<br />
around the globe as well as the chance to forge international connections<br />
that will be of value to their research and to New Zealand.<br />
“EQC plays an important role in funding and facilitating research about<br />
natural hazard risk. Part of that is making sure we have researchers within<br />
New Zealand who have the capability to undertake that research.”<br />
Mechanical engineering PhD student Jarrod Cook says the chance to<br />
attend 16WCEE will be invaluable. “I’m exploring ways a ratcheting,<br />
tension-only device can reduce the motion experienced by buildings<br />
during an earthquake, and therefore limit the damage and impact to<br />
people as well as enabling buildings to stay open after the event. WCEE is<br />
the premier conference in earthquake engineering so this is a great way<br />
to share my ideas, get critical feedback and see what others are doing.”<br />
WCEE is held every four years and provides attendees with the<br />
opportunity for a global exchange of knowledge, ideas, research<br />
results and practical experience. As well as students from Canterbury,<br />
EQC and NZSEE are jointly sponsoring the attendance of five students<br />
from Auckland University and four industry representatives from across<br />
New Zealand.<br />
From left to right: Jarrod Cook, Pavan Aninthaneni and Amir Malek are three of<br />
five University of Canterbury students heading to Chile for the World Conference<br />
on Earthquake Engineering this January.<br />

ARA BUSINESS<br />
Upskilling leads to a<br />
rewarding retail career<br />
A change of mind and flexible study<br />
options brought Neil Chand to the job he<br />
loved. Four years ago Neil was in his last<br />
year of his biochemistry degree, when he<br />
decided to take a little break and save some<br />
money.<br />
“I ended up working in retail and it turned<br />
out I really liked it. I found out that it could<br />
be a career too and decided to pursue this<br />
path. I started working at the Warehouse<br />
Stationary in Papanui and loved it. I never<br />
regretted quitting my biochemistry studies.”<br />
Three years into his job Neil wanted to<br />
upskill to take the next step in his career. He<br />
enrolled in the six month, Level 3 Certificate<br />
in Retail at Ara Institute of Canterbury. He<br />
studied part-time, so he could combine his<br />
studies with his job.<br />
“I followed the in-house training at my job,<br />
but was looking for something more. The<br />
Ara Certificate in Retail gave a more general<br />
perspective on retail. My main takeaway was<br />
the leadership development. Being able to<br />
understand emotional awareness and deal<br />
with different behaviours. You learn to cater<br />
to any kind of employee and customer.”<br />
This skill turned out to be very useful as<br />
Neil was promoted to a leadership role as<br />
Assistant Store Manager after finishing his<br />
course.<br />
“An important part of my role is coaching<br />
the team. I’m motivating the team on<br />
the floor and making sure the customers<br />
are being looked after. I love making the<br />
customers happy, we’re there to provide<br />
solutions for them.”<br />
The retail programmes at Ara provide<br />
students with essential industry knowledge<br />
and skills for a strong start to a career in this<br />
sector. The options range from entry level<br />
qualifications to a degree, and part-time<br />
study options make it easy for people like<br />
Neil to upskill.<br />
For those who want to go further in<br />
their studies, options include the Bachelor<br />
of Applied Retail Management, which<br />
offers specialist knowledge and skills in<br />
strategic decision making, communication<br />
strategies, accounting and retail enterprise<br />
management. A 400-hour work placement<br />
helps students develop and practice realworld<br />
skills.<br />

Sevens title shared<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
A SERIES of three rugby sevens<br />
tournaments hosted by Sumner<br />
ended with joint winners.<br />
Tournaments were held on<br />
October 15, 29 and <strong>November</strong> 5,<br />
with the final of the three being<br />
played on Saturday.<br />
At the end of the final<br />
match in the last tournament,<br />
Christchurch and University<br />
clubs were tied on points – so the<br />
trophy was shared.<br />
Event organiser and Sumner<br />
player Lawrence Babe said the<br />
points accrued by both teams at<br />
the end of the third tournament<br />
were even, so “they’ll share<br />
the trophy and they’re joint<br />
winners.”<br />
In the first tournament,<br />
Sumner reached the bowl final.<br />
In the second, they reached the<br />
plate final, and they carried that<br />
form into the final weekend,<br />
again reaching the plate final.<br />
Babe said one of the stand<br />
out players for Sumner was the<br />
versatile Junior Taia, who can<br />
play in a number of positions in<br />
sevens and rugby union.<br />
“He’s a player that has come<br />
across from the Shirley team<br />
and he’s also in the Rarotongan<br />
sevens team. In sevens, he plays<br />
as a prop or hooker, and in 15s,<br />
he’s a centre or flanker. He had a<br />
bit of x factor,” he said.<br />
Of the 16 men’s teams and<br />
10 women’s teams competing,<br />
Sumner finished sixth overall.<br />
Due to the high number of<br />
QUALITY TEAM: The Sumner sevens team finished sixth overall<br />
in their recent sevens series.<br />
teams, Sumner could not host<br />
the games where they originally<br />
intended.<br />
“We couldn’t run it at<br />
McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> [Reserve]. So<br />
we ended up hosting it at Hoon<br />
Hay Park,” he said.<br />
Babe said Sumner came up<br />
against some tough opposition,<br />
not least those that had travelled<br />
from out of the city to play.<br />
“We played up to five games<br />
a day and that adds up pretty<br />
quickly. The toughest out there<br />
was probably Southbridge. They<br />
brought in a pretty sharp side<br />
with a few good Fijian players.<br />
Some of them have grown up<br />
with sevens as almost a national<br />
game in Fiji,” he said.<br />
SPORTS<br />
Heathcote chase down<br />
Sumner in one-day match<br />
HEATHCOTE PUT a stop to<br />
Sumner’s unbeaten run in<br />
one-day cricket on Saturday.<br />
In their last 45-over one-day<br />
match, Sumner triumphed over<br />
New Brighton and were looking<br />
to continue that form away<br />
against Heathcote.<br />
It wasn’t to be though. Heathcote<br />
won the toss and sent Sumner<br />
in to bat, but the only batsman<br />
in Sumner’s lineup to score<br />
more than 20 runs was captain<br />
Johnny Beveridge, notching up<br />
54 from 48 deliveries.<br />
The game, played at Heathcote<br />
Domain, saw Sumner all out<br />
for 183, just before the 45-over<br />
ON THE BREAK: Reece McCaffrey makes a burst<br />
during a sevens tournament hosted by Sumner at<br />
Hoon Hay Park.<br />
limit, thanks to a strong bowling<br />
performance from Dan Fielding,<br />
who took three wickets for 29<br />
runs.<br />
In response to Sumner’s<br />
total, Heathcote batted strongly<br />
throughout Sumner’s bowling<br />
attack and kept their chase at a<br />
high run rate.<br />
Sumner’s stand-out bowlers<br />
were medium pacer Dan Vann<br />
and spinner Jonny Percasky,<br />
who both took two Heathcote<br />
wickets.<br />
But in the end, it wasn’t<br />
enough as Heathcote reached<br />
the target of 184 in the 42nd over<br />
with five wickets still remaining.<br />

Tips for untreated<br />
hearing loss<br />
Hearing is a sense that many of us<br />
take for granted. Throughout our lives, we<br />
subject our ears to loud sounds–music,<br />
power tools, lawn mowers, air travel–<br />
without using ear protection. regrettably,<br />
this can cause hearing loss. also, the<br />
natural aging process generally results<br />
in hearing loss. even certain illnesses<br />
and medications can adversely affect our<br />
hearing. Unfortunately, hearing loss that<br />
occurs from such causes is permanent.<br />
The good news is, even if you already<br />
have a little hearing loss, it’s never too<br />
late to preserve your hearing for the<br />
years ahead. The first thing you can do is<br />
protect your ears in noisy environments.<br />
Shop scan<br />
also, avoid using cotton swabs to clean<br />
your ears. and, make it a priority to get<br />
a baseline hearing screening to see if<br />
hearing loss has already occurred.<br />
if hearing loss is found during your<br />
hearing evaluation, it could be due to<br />
excess ear wax or infection. This type of<br />
hearing loss is reversible. if hearing loss<br />
stems from chronic exposure to loud<br />
noise, aging, or certain illnesses and<br />
medications, hearing aids are the best way<br />
to preserve your good hearing.<br />
The great news about today’s hearing<br />
aids is how small and easy to wear they<br />
are. Modern digital hearing aids use<br />
super-tiny microprocessor technology–<br />
making them virtually invisible when<br />
worn. Hearing aids can help almost all<br />
degrees of hearing loss–from a little to a<br />
lot. and, by stimulating your brain with<br />
sound that might not otherwise reach it,<br />
hearing aids help keep your brain active,<br />
which lowers your risk for cognitive<br />
diseases, such as dementia.<br />
if you suspect you may have hearing<br />
loss, don’t ignore it. neglecting a hearing<br />
loss can have a snowball effect–making it<br />
grow bigger, faster than necessary.<br />
Here are 10 ways you can limit hearing<br />
damage and preserve good hearing:<br />
1. Understand the sound levels of the<br />
noises in your environment.<br />
2. Learn about proper ear protection.<br />
There are many kinds on the market<br />
today, ranging from custom ear molds to<br />
foam plugs and more.<br />
3. Put physical distance between you<br />
and loud noise when it is present. if<br />
possible, stand at an angle from the noise,<br />
not directly in front of it.<br />
4. Take breaks when you are exposed<br />
to noise.<br />
5. When listening to music through<br />
headphones or earbuds, keep the volume<br />
low-to-medium.<br />
6. Know the signs of hearing loss, and<br />
measure yourself against them.<br />
7. schedule a baseline hearing<br />
evaluation. Hearing loss is on the rise<br />
among Baby Boomers and young people.<br />
it’s never too early to get your hearing<br />
checked, but don’t wait past age 50.<br />
8. Have your hearing evaluated by a<br />
professional licensed by your state.<br />
9. if you have hearing loss caused by a<br />
reversible condition, take steps to<br />
correct it.<br />
10. if any permanent hearing loss is<br />
diagnosed, choose hearing aids to slow it<br />
down, and preserve good hearing.<br />
it’s never too early to get your<br />
hearing checked, but don’t wait<br />
past age 50.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
It’s plain to see...<br />
3 Plains View, Mt Pleasant<br />
Auction: 24 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2016</strong>, Unless Sold Prior<br />
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # FM5016<br />
Why my owners have enjoyed the nine<br />
years they have spent living in this special<br />
home. However family commitments<br />
necessitate a move and they have<br />
purchased elsewhere meaning an urgent<br />
sale is required.<br />
The property is tucked down a private<br />
lane and gives nothing away from the<br />
road, so you will need to come inside to<br />
appreciate what the home offers.<br />
Once inside you will be mesmerised by<br />
the awesome expansive views out across<br />
the city and through to the stunning<br />
Southern Alps. The sunsets and city night<br />
lights guarantee a spectacular outlook both<br />
night and day.<br />
The home offers a functional layout ideal<br />
for families or couples that desire privacy,<br />
space and who love to entertain. The large<br />
new kitchen is a knock out and will delight<br />
the cook in the family with tons of storage.<br />
The living and dining areas, take in the best<br />
of the view and open to a deck where you<br />
will surely be tempted to take time out at<br />
the end of a busy day and relax and bask in<br />
the late sun.<br />
The home has been tastefully updated,<br />
with two new bathrooms and renovated<br />
throughout.<br />
The three downstairs bedrooms are very<br />
generous doubles, master with ensuite and<br />
walk in robe plus a fourth bedroom or<br />
study is located on the upper living level.<br />
The location is idyllic with private<br />
outdoors grounds and sheltered from the<br />
prevailing easterly. Mt Pleasant offers a<br />
wonderful lifestyle for all ages, with Mt<br />
Pleasant School nearby and Ferrymead<br />
shops and cafes at the bottom of the hill.<br />
My owners have given very clear<br />
instruction, they want the home sold, so<br />
enquire today.<br />
Auction Date: Thursday 24 Nov 1:00<br />
p.m. (In rooms) Unless Sold Prior<br />
