Stable power supply pledged<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
ORION HAS promised Lyttelton<br />
residents a more resilient power<br />
supply by 2019, following a<br />
recent outage which left <strong>16</strong>00<br />
homes without electricity for<br />
about 13 hours.<br />
The town and surrounding<br />
bays are vulnerable to outages as<br />
power is supplied via two lines<br />
that sit on the same set of poles<br />
running over the Port Hills<br />
where they are exposed to the<br />
elements.<br />
If one line fails it can cause the<br />
other to fail due to their proximity.<br />
This is what happened on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 5, with an outage<br />
affecting Lyttelton, Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong>, Rapaki, Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
and Pigeon <strong>Bay</strong> and Rapaki.<br />
In a statement released following<br />
that outage, Orion said<br />
it had a plan to restore network<br />
resilience and reliability to the<br />
city, following the earthquakes,<br />
by 2019. Improving the surety of<br />
power supply in Lyttelton was a<br />
priority it said.<br />
“We appreciate Lyttelton has<br />
suffered a number of outages in<br />
recent years and we understand<br />
the frustration that this has<br />
caused for residents and the<br />
business community,” the statement<br />
said.<br />
Orion has been in talks with<br />
the NZ Transport Agency over a<br />
$1.5m project to improve power<br />
supply to the Lyttelton area by<br />
installing a new and separate cable<br />
running via the road tunnel.<br />
Any agreement reached on a<br />
tunnel route will take about 24<br />
months to implement.<br />
Orion’s statement said<br />
that while these discussions<br />
continued, it was focusing on<br />
improving the reliability of the<br />
two existing overhead lines that<br />
serviced the area. Further work<br />
on this would be undertaken in<br />
early next year.<br />
Lyttelton Coffee Culture owner<br />
Leona Cooper said Orion’s plans<br />
would be good for the town.<br />
“I think they need to improve<br />
the power here,” she said.<br />
The <strong>November</strong> 5 power outage<br />
had meant they weren’t able to<br />
serve coffee until 11.30am on<br />
that day.<br />
The Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board received a briefing on<br />
the work in August and board<br />
chairwoman Christine Wilson<br />
said she would be meeting with<br />
Orion again to discuss the situation<br />
following the recent outage.<br />
“I personally felt quite excited<br />
by the briefing we had earlier on<br />
in the year and the work that is<br />
taking place,” she said.<br />

LIKE SO many of you, I was<br />
perched up on the hills after being<br />
evacuated due to the tsunami risk<br />
on Monday morning.<br />
Again, like the previous earthquakes,<br />
I am always taken by the<br />
wonderful folk we have in this city.<br />
While I was perched up the top of<br />
Egnot Heights in Redcliffs, the lads<br />
in my car decided they would have<br />
a nap, but I decided to have a wander<br />
around. I found Nicki of North<br />
New Brighton, who unknowingly<br />
soothed me with her banter and<br />
beaut two-year-old dog.<br />
Then, Nicki and I found ourselves<br />
invited into a stranger’s<br />
home, who brewed us a cup of<br />
dearly needed caffeine. In their<br />
house were other refugees. The<br />
family was so welcoming, so a big<br />
thank you to them.<br />
The earthquakes continue to<br />
shake us, but they do not shake our<br />
marvellous Christchurch spirit.<br />

Chaos<br />
by Patricia Cornwell<br />
Fear is a force of nature. No. 1 New York Times bestselling author<br />
Patricia Cornwell delivers the twenty-fourth engrossing thriller<br />
in her high-stakes series starring medical examiner Dr. Kay<br />
Scarpetta. In the quiet of twilight, on an early autumn day,<br />
twenty-six-year-old Elisa Vandersteel is killed while riding her<br />
bicycle along the Charles River. It appears she was struck by<br />
lightning - except the weather is perfectly clear with not a cloud<br />
in sight. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the Cambridge Forensic Center’s<br />
director and chief, decides at the scene that this is no accidental<br />
Act of God. Her investigation becomes complicated when she begins<br />
receiving a flurry of bizarre poems from an anonymous cyberbully who<br />
calls himself Tailend Charlie. Though subsequent lab results support Scarpetta’s<br />
conclusions, the threatening messages don’t stop. When the tenth poem arrives<br />
exactly twenty-four hours after Elisa’s death, Scarpetta begins to suspect the harasser<br />
is involved, and sounds the alarm to her investigative partner, Pete Marino, and her<br />
husband, FBI analyst Benton Wesley.She also enlists the help of her niece, Lucy. But<br />
to Scarpetta’s surprise, tracking the slippery Tailend Charlie is nearly impossible, even<br />
for someone as brilliant as her niece. Also, Lucy can’t explain how this anonymous<br />
nemesis could have access to private information. To make matters worse, a<br />
venomous media is whipping the public into a frenzy, questioning the seasoned<br />
forensics chief’s judgment and “a quack cause of death on a par with spontaneous<br />
combustion”<br />

Delay in kindergarten decision<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
HEARING DELAYS mean that<br />
Mt Pleasant residents will have<br />
to wait a bit longer to see if a<br />
kindergarten will be built on a<br />
contentious McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
Rd site.<br />
An outcome was expected<br />
on <strong>November</strong> 5 after a resource<br />
consent hearing finished on<br />
October 18, but commissioner<br />
Justine Ashley wanted more<br />
information on the landscaping<br />
plan.<br />
The hearing could not be<br />
closed so the decision date has<br />
been pushed back<br />
to Friday.<br />
Kidsfirst wants<br />
to build a 248 sq<br />
m kindergarten,<br />
which is bigger<br />
than their former<br />
centre damaged<br />
in the 2011 earthquake.<br />
The childhood centre is<br />
planned to be 30m west of the<br />
former kindergarten and homeowners<br />
are angry it will block<br />
their view of the estuary.<br />
The organisation applied to<br />
the city council for resource<br />
consent to build and operate a<br />
centre in June but were declined<br />
due to a city council mistake.<br />
Nearby property owner<br />
Margaret Evrard was meant to<br />
UP IN THE AIR: Kidsfirst is still waiting to hear if they can establish a kindergarten on the<br />
reserve on McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Rd.<br />
notified about the application<br />
but she wasn’t initially seen as a<br />
property affected by the centre,<br />
so Kidsfirst had to resubmit its<br />
application.<br />
When asked what the landscaping<br />
plan amendments were<br />
and if the setbacks have been<br />
frustrating, Kidsfirst chief executive<br />
Sherryll Wilson wouldn’t<br />
comment.<br />
“It would be inappropriate<br />
for Kidsfirst to comment while<br />
the resource consent process is<br />
under way,” she said.<br />
She said after the hearing<br />
concluded it would make a<br />
public statement.<br />
The proposed centre will<br />
run longer from 8am to 5pm<br />
with an estimated 200 vehicles<br />
expected to move in and out of<br />
McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Rd.<br />
Residents said the narrow<br />
strip is a dangerous place for a<br />
kindergarten as busy thoroughfare<br />
Main Rd is only metres<br />
away and McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Rd<br />
has a blind corner.<br />
“While the community centre<br />
was being rebuilt there was<br />
three accidents – one of them<br />
had their door cleaned right off<br />
its hinges,” Mr Graham Keats<br />
said.<br />
“It’s really bad from a safety<br />
aspect as kids are going to be<br />
loaded and unloaded during the<br />
peak times for traffic.”<br />
In Brief<br />
QUAKE REPAIRS<br />
Work is being done to repair<br />
earthquake-damaged infrastructure<br />
in Mt Pleasant, Redcliffs and<br />
Heathcote Valley. Contractor<br />
Downer started work on Monday to<br />
fix roads, stormwater and wastewater<br />
systems and the damaged pump<br />
station on Port Hills Rd. A new<br />
concrete wall will be constructed to<br />
surround the existing pump station<br />
and the repairs will take about two<br />
weeks to complete. The walking<br />
track between Flinders Rd and Port<br />
Hills Rd will stay open during repair<br />
work.<br />
DEFIBRILLATOR FOR CLUB<br />
The Redcliffs Mt Pleasant Bowling<br />
Club has installed a defibrillator at<br />
its clubrooms for the community<br />
to access. It was funded through<br />
a $3500 grant from the Westpac<br />
Air Rescue Trust, and will be<br />
stored on the wall of the verandah<br />
at the clubrooms on 9 James<br />
St, Redcliffs. A number of club<br />
members have received training<br />
from St John on how to use the<br />
system. A defibrillator is used to<br />
help treat people suffering from lifethreatening<br />
heart problems.<br />
HERITAGE GRANT<br />
The city council will meet tomorrow<br />
to decide if it will approve a $127,415<br />
grant for a heritage building in Lyttelton.<br />
The grant is for conservation<br />

Pedestrian<br />
crossing<br />
confirmed<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A PEDESTRIAN crossing is<br />
expected to be put in place on<br />
Norwich Quay by Christmas.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency confirmed it would create<br />
a crossing after a city council<br />
panel approved the installation<br />
of a bus shelter on Norwich<br />
Quay in September.<br />
NZTA has indicated that the<br />
kerb, bus shelter and signals are<br />
expected to be installed before<br />
Christmas but full commissioning<br />
of the signalised pedestrian<br />
crossing may not occur until<br />
February/March.<br />
The bus stop and shelter will<br />
be installed adjacent to 25 Norwich<br />
Quay and will replace the<br />
existing bus stop on Norwich<br />
Quay opposite Dublin St.<br />
“Work on the shelter itself<br />
has begun off site, and it will be<br />
transported to the site and lifted<br />
in once new kerbs and footpaths<br />
are ready,” city council team<br />
leader traffic operations Ryan<br />
Rolston said.<br />
It will cost about $9000 to<br />
build and install the shelter and<br />
is intended to meet the demands<br />
of the growing number of bus<br />
users.<br />
READY TO RELOCATE: Lyttelton chief fire officer Mark Buckley is excited to move into the new fire station on London St.<br />
New fire station takes shape<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
IT’S BEEN more than half a<br />
decade since the Lyttelton’s<br />
volunteer fire fighters have had<br />
a permanent home but that will<br />
soon change.<br />
The brigade has begun the<br />
shift into its new London St<br />
station with an official opening<br />
scheduled for early next year.<br />
“We’ve already had two moves<br />
since the earthquake and we<br />
have settled into our present<br />
location but now the guys have<br />
had a look through the new<br />
station, they’re getting a bit<br />
excited,” chief fire officer Mark<br />
Buckley said.<br />
The brigade’s station was<br />
badly damaged in the February<br />
2011 earthquake and was later<br />
demolished.<br />
Immediately after the quake,<br />
Mr Buckley and deputy chief<br />
fire officer Dwayne Pool sent<br />
their families away and worked<br />
from the damaged station to<br />
FACILITY:<br />
Preparations<br />
are being made<br />
to move the<br />
fire station from<br />
its temporary<br />
site in Norwich<br />
Quay.<br />
help support Lyttelton residents<br />
through the turmoil.<br />
They’ve been operating out of<br />
temporary bases since.<br />
The brigade moved to the port<br />
company’s car park following<br />
the quakes, before moving back<br />
into temporary premises on<br />
London St, and then into its current<br />
site on Norwich Quay.<br />
“Lyttelton, like other brigades<br />
in the region, showed its dedication<br />
to its community in the<br />
aftermath of the Canterbury<br />
earthquakes,” New Zealand Fire<br />
Service region manager Steve<br />
Turek said.<br />
“Like many brigades in this<br />
area, Lyttelton was virtually cut<br />
off following the earthquake and<br />
the brigade provided a lifeline<br />
and emergency support for its<br />
community.”<br />
The new station is a part of a<br />
$50 million investment by the<br />
New Zealand Fire Service to<br />
rebuild Christchurch facilities.<br />

New life for harbour icon<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
THE NAUTILUS was once a<br />
long-time resident of Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> and now it has been<br />
celebrated as a piece of maritime<br />
history.<br />
The World War 1 vessel was<br />
relaunched last month in Auckland,<br />
five years after it was gifted<br />
to the New Zealand Maritime<br />
Museum.<br />
It belonged to retired Mt Pleasant<br />
businessman Allan Williams,<br />
who bought it in 1994 and<br />
berthed it in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
“When I bought it, it was dilapidated.<br />
It was covered in bird<br />
droppings and it was unloved<br />
and unwanted,” he said.<br />
The Nautilus was used during<br />
New Zealand’s Gallipoli campaign<br />
in 1915.<br />
The 103-year-old boat towed<br />
injured soldiers off the hospital<br />
ship Marama to hospitals in<br />
Alexandria, Egypt.<br />
It also did service in the<br />
English Channel and returned<br />
to Christchurch after the war to<br />
work in the Avon River and Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
“Apart from its history in<br />
the war, it’s had a lot to do<br />
with Lyttelton. It was a part of<br />
Lyttelton scenery for years,” Mr<br />
Williams said.<br />
He is a keen boatie and<br />
snapped up the opportunity to<br />
BACK IN BUSINESS: The<br />
Nautilus was launched for<br />
the first time in five years last<br />
month. PHOTOS: MARITIME<br />
MUSEUM & CHRISTCHURCH<br />
CITY LIBRARIES<br />
buy the vessel two decades ago.<br />
He has invested big money<br />
and man hours into restoring<br />
the historic launch over the<br />
years, cementing its place in the<br />
harbour.<br />
“Anyone involved in boating<br />
in this area would know about<br />
it,” he said.<br />
In 2011, Mr Williams gifted<br />
the Nautilus to the New Zealand<br />
Maritime Museum so its history<br />
could be preserved.<br />
“It’s a priceless little boat and<br />
I wanted to make sure it was<br />
looked after. She’s a part of national<br />
history,” he said.<br />
The museum’s ‘Wednesday<br />
old boys’ staff put 46,000 hours<br />
of volunteer work and $200,000<br />
into restoring the run-down<br />
Nautilus.<br />
“It’ll go another 100 years.”<br />
It’s the newest member of the<br />
museum and was re-launched<br />
last month at the Royal New<br />
Zealand Navy’s 75th anniversary.<br />
It will be open for public<br />
sailings from <strong>November</strong> 20.<br />
Call to improve<br />
evacuation process<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
REFUGEES FROM suburbs<br />
across the city, sought shelter<br />
at Mt Pleasant school after<br />
Monday morning’s tsunami<br />
evacuation.<br />
The school was opened by<br />
the community response team<br />
after tsunami sirens warned<br />
people to move to higher ground<br />
at 2am.<br />
About 200 people from<br />
Woolston, Southshore, New<br />
Brighton, Brookhaven, Bromley<br />
sought shelter at the school until<br />
it was safe to go home.<br />
Residents were evacuated<br />
after the 7.5 magnitude earthquake,<br />
centred in Waiau that<br />
struck at 12.02am. Police went<br />
street by street in vehicles<br />
checking to ensure people had<br />
evacuated.<br />
About 20,000 residents live in<br />
the evacuation area from Ferrymead<br />
to Taylor’s Mistake, said<br />
the city council yesterday.<br />
Residents in Redcliffs and<br />
Sumner also pulled together<br />
after fleeing to the hills.<br />
Many coastline residents spent<br />
the morning in cars on the hills<br />
surrounding Sumner, Redcliffs<br />
and Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> with the all<br />
clear finally given around 9am<br />
that morning.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham said a lot of<br />
Sumner residents stayed at home<br />
after the shake because<br />
no tsunami warning was put<br />

There was conflicting information<br />
from the Ministry of Civil<br />
Defence and Emergency Management<br />
who said people should<br />
go inland or seek refuge on hills,<br />
while the city council said no<br />
evacuations were required.<br />
This changed at 2am when the<br />
tsunami sirens sounded.<br />
He’s written to Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel on behalf of the board<br />
and the Sumner Community<br />
Residents Association to fix<br />
processes before the next quake.<br />
“This caused confusion<br />
for residents. While the<br />
ultimate responsibility rests<br />
on individual residents to self<br />
evacuate it was not in any way<br />
helped by the obvious confusion<br />
and mixed messages received,”<br />
he said.<br />
“A delay activating the tsunami<br />
warning siren could have<br />
been life threatening. We can do<br />
better than this.”<br />

WELL-KNOWN residents,<br />
including singer-songwriter<br />
Marlon Williams, have been<br />
transformed into early settlers<br />
as part of the Lyttelton Redux<br />
exhibition.<br />
Lyttelton artist Julia Holden<br />
painted 23 residents, including<br />
Williams, Sergeant Dave<br />
Knowles and former community<br />
board chairwoman Paula Smith,<br />
turning them into early Lyttelton<br />
settlers.<br />
“Using non-toxic, acrylic<br />
house paints, I painted directly<br />
onto the person using them<br />
as the canvas and then photographed<br />
the result bringing the<br />
past into the present in a new,<br />
contemporary portrait,” Ms<br />
Holden said.<br />
Clare and Jeremy Dyer, who<br />
own Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Hotel, and<br />
son Louis Dyer, who owns Civil<br />
& Naval, all participated.<br />
The Dyer family was one of the<br />
first to arrive by ship in Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> and it’s believed Dyers<br />
Pass Rd was also named after<br />
them.<br />
The couple were chosen to depict<br />
‘The Governor: John Robert<br />
Godley’ and ‘The Governor’s<br />
Wife: Charlotte Godley.’<br />
“The great reveal was the exhibition.<br />
Seeing it up front . . . it’s<br />
an amazing body of work. I was<br />
pretty blown away, it was pretty<br />
cool,” Mr Dyer said.<br />
His son Louis Dyer was<br />
painted as ‘The Colonist: Edward<br />
Gibbon Wakefield.’<br />
‘The Governor’ and ‘The Governor’s<br />
Wife’ sit at Civil & Naval<br />
and The Colonist is based in The<br />
British Hotel.<br />
‘It’s a nice context for us being<br />
in our son’s bar,” Mr Dyer said.<br />
The works are based on original<br />
portraits of historic residents.<br />
The portraits are spread<br />
around different Lyttelton locations<br />
for residents to visit.<br />
All of the portraits are for sale<br />
and limited edition prints are<br />
also being sold.<br />
The proceeds will go to the<br />
Lyttelton Museum.<br />

Lyttelton teen named dux,<br />
earns varsity scholarships<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A LYTTELTON teenager has<br />
been given a head start to a<br />
science career after taking<br />
away top honours at Linwood<br />
College’s end of year awards.<br />
Ruby Kerr, 18, was awarded<br />
the top prize of dux, as well as<br />
the Linwood College Literary<br />
Cup and Victoria University<br />
achiever’s scholarship at the<br />
prize-giving last month.<br />
Ruby was blown away to<br />
hear she’d received the accolades,<br />
which will pay for part<br />
of her university tuition.<br />
“It was very overwhelming.<br />
I didn’t expect it. I’ve come<br />
from a small school and never<br />
thought I was very smart so<br />
getting those awards was a<br />
huge achievement,” she said.<br />
The year 13 student attended<br />
Lyttelton’s St Joseph’s School<br />
until she was 11-years-old.<br />
Ruby then moved to Lyttelton<br />
Main School because St<br />
Joseph’s closed due to its small<br />
roll of 20 pupils.<br />
“It was so small that we only<br />
had two classrooms, so when<br />
I moved to Lyttelton Main, I<br />
was behind everybody else. I<br />
had no idea what I was doing<br />
and I used to get so stressed<br />
out about school work that I<br />
used to cry,” she said.<br />
“So getting the dux award<br />
ACHIEVER: Ruby Kerr received two scholarships that will<br />
cover some of her tertiary study costs. <br />
and my other awards was a big<br />
deal to me because it showed<br />
me I could do it and achieve<br />
anything.”<br />
As the daughter of an acupuncturist,<br />
Ruby has always<br />
been deeply interested in the<br />
sciences.<br />
While studying biology,<br />
chemistry and physics at<br />
Linwood College, she realised<br />
how much she loved biology.<br />
At the same time, she<br />
became passionate about environmental<br />
issues and wants to<br />
combine those interests into a<br />
career.<br />
“It’s being able to know how<br />
everything works. With science<br />
you can figure out things<br />
and you gain a bigger understanding<br />
of the world around<br />
you,” she said.<br />
Ruby plans on studying a<br />
Bachelor of Science with a<br />
double major in environmental<br />
studies and biology at Victoria<br />
University of Wellington<br />
next year. The achiever’s<br />
scholarship will cover her first<br />
year of tertiary study there.<br />
She’s also considering Canterbury<br />
University, as the dux<br />
award comes with a scholarship<br />
of a paid year of study at<br />
a South Island university and<br />
living costs. Ruby has several<br />
more external exams to go before<br />
graduating from Linwood<br />
College later this year.<br />

Mental health support needed<br />
Green MP<br />
Eugenie<br />
Sage talks<br />
about<br />
Monday<br />
morning’s<br />
earthquakes<br />
and where<br />
to seek help<br />
if you’re<br />
feeling<br />
stressed.<br />
Well that was an unpleasant<br />
start to the week. Big hugs to<br />
everyone in Kaikoura, Marlborough,<br />
North Canterbury and<br />
Wellington, living through aftershocks,<br />
dealing with damage and<br />
loss, and grappling with how to<br />
repair hearts, homes, businesses,<br />
and infrastructure.<br />
Well done to folk who helped<br />
support Christchurch residents<br />
who had to leave home as a result<br />
of the tsunami warnings.<br />
I’m writing this on Monday<br />
morning with little information<br />
on the full extent of damage<br />
further north. Here in Christchurch,<br />
people’s emotional and<br />
psychological wellbeing has<br />
probably taken a bigger hit from<br />
the long, rolling earthquake<br />
than buildings, roads and other<br />
infrastructure.<br />
Wherever you are – kindness<br />
is contagious. Reaching out to<br />
friends, family and neighbours<br />
for a cup of tea or coffee, contact<br />
and conversation can help reduce<br />
post-quake stress. So can sticking<br />
to daily and weekly routines<br />
and staying active – taking a<br />
walk, enjoying nature.<br />
The All Right? health promotion<br />
campaign and the Mental<br />
Health Foundation’s five ways<br />
to wellbeing are good sources of<br />
practical advice on how to stay<br />
well.<br />
But for some that won’t be<br />
enough. There has been a major<br />
increase in demand for mental<br />
health services in Christchurch<br />
after the 2011 quakes, especially<br />
among young people. They seek<br />
help for a range of issues, including<br />
severe depression, anxiety,<br />
self-harm and suicidal thoughts.<br />
New figures show that young<br />
people are facing unreasonably<br />
long waiting times to receive<br />
follow-up appointments after<br />
seeking help. In the last year, up<br />
to 3297 young people around<br />
New Zealand had to wait longer<br />
than eight weeks to have a<br />
second face-to-face appointment<br />
with a medical professional after<br />
seeking help. Canterbury was<br />
one of four areas with the longest<br />
waiting times.<br />
No one should not have to wait<br />
weeks on end to get the medical<br />
help they need. Our mental<br />
health professionals do a fantastic<br />
job but services are stretched<br />
and struggling.<br />
This is partly because Government<br />
has cut the overall health<br />
budget, scrapped the Mental<br />
Health Commission and focused<br />
resources on targets that don’t<br />
include mental health.<br />
We need better funding for<br />
the Canterbury District Health<br />
Board and community services.<br />
And we need a nationwide inquiry<br />
into mental health services<br />
similar to the Mason Report in<br />
the 90s, to ensure that New Zealanders<br />
can access the support<br />
they need.<br />
Free help is available. Phone<br />

Readers respond to<br />
last week’s article on<br />
Redcliffs School possibly<br />
being located on a Maori<br />
burial site at Redcliffs<br />
Park.<br />
Shanna Olsen-Reeder –<br />
Who cares about property values?<br />
I can’t believe that’s people’s<br />
main concern rather than the<br />
disrespectful act of building<br />
over a cemetery.<br />
Pamela Neil – I can not<br />
believe all this carry on over<br />
a school site. It will devalue<br />
properties in the area if a school<br />
is built on the park and if part of<br />
it is a burial ground from many<br />
years ago, Maori will take more<br />
time to confirm this. Leave<br />
the school where it is! Nearly<br />
seven years have gone by and<br />
a generation of children have<br />
been deprived of attending the<br />
school. Is there someone who<br />
can make sensible and binding<br />
decisions in Christchurch. I<br />
am embarrassed to say I come<br />
from this once beautiful city. It<br />
is now a hotchpotch of cheaply<br />
constructed, ugly housing and<br />
bad town planning. Get on with<br />
the rebuild before people die<br />
waiting.<br />
Trevor Walmsley – Loose<br />
$300,000 to $400,000 in property<br />
values – many people in<br />
New Zealand can’t even afford<br />
to own a house.<br />
Karl Dean – People are so<br />
selfish these days, honestly won’t<br />
it increase your value being<br />
within walking distance of the<br />
school?<br />

Spring Is In The Air<br />
Market Comment with Craig Prier<br />
October saw a slightly subdued market for us with sales numbers at lower levels than expected.<br />
This seemed to be mirrored across other marketplaces around the country. Commentators<br />
are suggesting it may be as a result of new LVR’s (loan value ratios) having an effect and the<br />
number of loan pre-approvals slowing down. However, as always, good properties that are<br />
well marketed still seem to attract the most interest. Time and again we see great results<br />
being achieved for vendors who choose to make the effort of presenting their property and<br />
investing in high profile marketing campaigns. Whether it is an auction or deadline sale the<br />
general feeling among vendors is that marketing their property without a price avoids the risk<br />
of underselling. Buyers are able to compete for the property either by bidding at auction or putting<br />
their best offer forward in a deadline sale.<br />

Brightening Christmas<br />
with A Little Ray of Giving<br />
At a time of year when the gift of giving is in the spotlight, the team<br />
here at Ray White Ferrymead are doing our bit to help out families<br />
who are in a less fortunate situation than others. It’s the second year<br />
we are taking part in this national charity initiative ‘A Little Ray of<br />
Giving’ and we’re aiming to making this year bigger and better than<br />
last year!<br />
“With the outstanding support from the beach, hill and harbour<br />
suburbs last year our office collected the most gifts of any Ray White<br />
office in New Zealand! This year we’re aiming to keep that top spot<br />
and are once more calling on the local community to embrace the<br />
giving season and dig deep for those who need it most” said Principal<br />
Craig Prier.<br />
To help spread the Christmas cheer, it’s as simple as bringing<br />
something suitable for a child or teenager into the Ray White<br />
Ferrymead office from 1-22 December, and stashing it under the<br />
Christmas tree.<br />
We will start collecting on Dec 1st through to Dec 22nd 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

Environment lesson for<br />
pupils at Sumner Beach<br />
SUMNER SCHOOL’S<br />
Envirogroup pupils attended<br />
a city council education<br />
lesson to learn about Sumner<br />
Beach’s sand dunes.<br />
Dunes are created by the<br />
sand that blows down the<br />
beach from onshore winds.<br />
Sand dunes protect from<br />
the sand that comes flying<br />
out of the beach and into the<br />
streets, by catching it. Pupils<br />
found out about why they<br />
are important and how they<br />
can be protected.<br />
They learnt that sand<br />
dunes are an important part<br />
of the beach for people, native<br />
trees, and the animals<br />
that live in them.<br />

Car parking restrictions likely<br />
near popular Port Hills track<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford and<br />
Caitlin Miles<br />
USING A popular Port Hills<br />
track could become more<br />
difficult with a plan to install no<br />
stopping restrictions on nearby<br />
streets.<br />
The city council is looking to<br />
install yellow no stopping lines<br />
on most of Rapaki Rd and part<br />
of Montgomery Tce.<br />
Rapaki Rd is the main access<br />
way to Rapaki Track, which is<br />
popular with walkers, runners<br />
and mountain-bikers, especially<br />
on the weekends.<br />
However, residents say<br />
track users parking on the<br />
road made it narrow and<br />
dangerous.<br />
Rapaki Rd resident Mike<br />
Smith said that even with<br />
the yellow lines across<br />
from his house it can be hard<br />
for him to get in and out of his<br />
driveway with people parking<br />
over the lines.<br />
He said the proposed changes<br />
are a good way to tackle the<br />
problem.<br />
“It can not be tolerated<br />
because people will get hurt if<br />
something doesn’t change,” Mr<br />
Smith said.<br />
Mr Smith said he is concerned<br />
about emergency services being<br />
able to get to the top of the track<br />
to assist people.<br />
As a result, the city council<br />
has put the plan out for public<br />
consultation to get feedback<br />
before it approves the changes.<br />
The restrictions would run<br />
along the left side of the road<br />
from Centaurus Rd to Montgomery<br />
Tce, and on the right<br />
hand side on the top stretch of<br />
the road.<br />
Montgomery Tce would also<br />
have restrictions on the left<br />
hand side of the road leading to<br />
Erewhon Tce.<br />
The city council hopes the<br />
changes would improve<br />
safety, make more room<br />
for vehicles to manoeuvre,<br />
and improve access<br />
to properties.<br />
Councillor Tim<br />
Scandrett (left) said<br />
he doesn’t know why<br />
people who plan to<br />
walk Rapaki Track park at the<br />
very start of the track when they<br />
could park elsewhere and get<br />
more exercise.<br />
“It seems insane that people<br />
drive up there to walk and be<br />
fit but they won’t park at the<br />
bottom (of Rapaki Rd),” Cr<br />
Scandrett said.<br />
He said it is welcome news for<br />
residents along the road.<br />
Mr Smith said he hopes this<br />
will make the improvements<br />
that many residents have wanted<br />
for a long time.<br />
Sumner snatch Challenge<br />
Trophy in tight contest<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
SUMNER’S OPENING batsman<br />
Marcus Thompson was the<br />
difference in the side’s Senior<br />
A Challenge Trophy winning<br />
match on Saturday.<br />
The 45-over match between<br />
Sumner and Lancaster Park Addington<br />
went down to the final<br />
over after Sumner lost the toss<br />
and were sent in to bat.<br />
Thompson scored 14 boundaries<br />
in his 95 runs off 133 deliveries. His<br />
opening partner Ethan Vickery<br />
managed 23 off 24 deliveries before<br />
being trapped lbw.<br />
Thompson batted on at St<br />
Leonards Square and led the side<br />
to a total of 221/8, when at one<br />
point they were struggling at<br />
57/4.<br />
Addington lost wickets<br />
regularly during its run<br />
chase through the bowling<br />
of Dan Vann, who took three<br />
wickets.<br />
The standout batsman for<br />
Addington was also an opener.<br />
Stewart van Zenten kept the<br />
scores close throughout the<br />
second innings with his 105 from<br />
115 deliveries.<br />
It was only after van Zenten<br />
brought up his century with a six<br />
that he was caught behind.<br />
In the final over, Addington<br />

Dean Smith took the final wicket<br />

three runs.<br />
Thompson said Sumner had to<br />
dig deep throughout the match to<br />
come out on top.<br />

Thompson credited the<br />

contributed with the bat and<br />
then protected their total with<br />
the ball.<br />
“The key to our recent<br />
successes has been multiple<br />

to contribute . . . in an important<br />

Experts restore that<br />
“winning smile”<br />
MEETING PEOPLE for the first time,<br />
interacting with others on social occasions,<br />
going for a job interview - in all these<br />
situations your smile is the most important<br />
part of you.<br />
Or perhaps, on a lighter note, you<br />
might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’<br />
because your smile is not as attractive as it<br />
should be, due to missing or broken teeth.<br />
Perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture<br />
South in Barrington, where the experts can<br />
give you that winning smile back.<br />
Clinical dental technician, Andrew<br />
Johnson and associate Janice ling can<br />
provide you with a highly personalised<br />
experience. We have a lot of knowledge<br />
and experience that can help guide you<br />
through the process.<br />
For people who have had dentures for a<br />
while and are finding they frequently need<br />
to buy denture adhesive to keep them in<br />
place, Andrew advises having the dentures<br />
relined so they will fit better. As he points<br />
out, the money spent on denture adhesive<br />
over 12 months would easily cover the cost<br />
of having your dentures refitted.<br />
Denture South has been providing a full<br />
range of denture services for the residents<br />
of Christchurch for over 13 years. These<br />
services include first-time immediate<br />
dentures, full replacement dentures, partial<br />
plates and sports mouth-guards.<br />
Many Denture South clients come<br />
through word-of-mouth referral, an<br />
indication of the level of satisfaction that’s<br />
provided there. Coming into Christmas<br />
we will be open and available for all<br />
adjustments for our existing patients in the<br />
final week, making for a great Christmas.<br />

Sticks and stones will<br />
break our bones but<br />
names will never hurt us?<br />
This has always been a common<br />
saying that adults have offered to<br />
children in situations where they have<br />
received hurtful comments or been<br />
called hurtful names. We all know the<br />
concept behind such a saying, and if<br />
a child is strong enough to hear this<br />
and soldier on then good on them.<br />
The reality though for most of us (not<br />
just our children) is that words can<br />
hurt (a lot).<br />
Social communications have<br />
developed significantly since I was<br />
a child at school. Back then (which<br />
was actually not too long ago) there<br />
were no cell phones and there was<br />
no internet . Communications were<br />
face-to-face in the playground, over<br />
the phone (which had a cord) in<br />
the hallway before bedtime, written<br />
on notes and passed around a<br />
classroom, or by snail mail. Now,<br />
our communication methods can be<br />
summarised in two succinct words –<br />
‘social media’.<br />
As a result of the ever increasing<br />
social media, and specifically<br />
following the “roastbusters” scandal<br />
in 2013, a new piece of legislation<br />
was enacted in July 2015 - the<br />
Harmful Digital Communications<br />
Act 2015 (the Act). The Act aims to<br />
provide victims of hurtful facebook<br />
posts, text messages or other digital<br />
communications quick and efficient<br />
resolution or remedy. In addition it<br />
creates new criminal offences.<br />
Although some of the provisions of<br />
the Act came into force in 2015, it<br />
will not be until Monday 21 <strong>November</strong><br />
20<strong>16</strong> that it will be fully operational.<br />
Under the Act, a government<br />
approved agency, Netsafe, will be the<br />
organisation responsible for receiving<br />
and investigating complaints brought<br />
under the Act. Although Netsafe<br />
will not have any real enforcement<br />
powers, its purpose is of a civil nature<br />
to investigate complaints and use<br />
negotiation and mediation to try to<br />
resolve the complaints efficiently.<br />
Applications may also be made to<br />
the District Court for orders such as<br />
requiring the defendant to take down<br />
the content or refrain from posting<br />
content, making a correction or<br />
providing an apology. Applications<br />
can be made by an individual, a<br />
parent or guardian of the individual,<br />
the police and even the individual’s<br />
school. Not complying with such an<br />
order will constitute an offence.<br />
The Court can also find a defendant<br />
guilty of a criminal offence if their<br />
online posting or texting:<br />
1. was made with the intent to cause<br />
harm, and<br />
2. would cause harm to a reasonable<br />
person in the same position as<br />
their victim, and<br />
3. harm was actually caused to the<br />
victim.<br />
The penalties for such a conviction<br />
are up to two years in prison, or a fine<br />
of up to $50,000 (for an individual).<br />
The Act also sets out 10<br />
‘Communication Principles’ which<br />
both Netsafe and the District Court<br />
are required to consider when<br />
exercising their roles under the Act.<br />
These Communication Principles are<br />
fairly broad and provide that a digital<br />
communication should not:<br />
1. Disclose sensitive personal facts<br />
about someone.<br />
2. Be threatening, intimidating or<br />
menacing.<br />
3. Be grossly offensive to a<br />
reasonable person in the position<br />
of the individual affected.<br />
4. Be indecent or obscene.<br />
5. Be used to harass an individual.<br />
6. Make a false allegation.<br />
7. Contain a matter that is published<br />
in breach of confidence.<br />
8. Incite or encourage anyone to send<br />
a message to an individual for the<br />
purpose of causing harm to the<br />
individual.<br />
9. Incite or encourage an individual to<br />
commit suicide.<br />
10. Denigrate an individual by reason<br />
of his or her colour, race, ethnic or<br />
national origins, religion, gender,<br />
sexual orientation, or disability.<br />
There have already been a number of<br />
convictions under the Act including<br />
an 18 year old convicted of sending<br />
Skype messages to his ex-girlfriend<br />
threatening to send pictures of her<br />
naked to her mother; and a 28 year<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
old was imprisoned for 11 months<br />
after sending a disturbing video to<br />
someone through Facebook.<br />
My children are still young and not<br />
yet subject to such harmful digital<br />
communications (although of course<br />
even now they object to my facebook<br />
posts of them with half their meals on<br />
their faces or running under a hose in<br />
their undies). However, I know the day<br />
will come when I need to tell them<br />
that “sticks and stones will break<br />
their bones but names will never hurt<br />
them”. The thing is though, everyone<br />
has a breaking point, and to have<br />
the possibility of recourse through<br />
Netsafe may be a very helpful avenue<br />
for individuals, parents and schools.<br />
It waits to be seen how many<br />
complaints Netsafe receive going<br />
forward and how efficient they are<br />
in handling them, but providing this<br />
avenue of redress is a positive move<br />
forward. With more awareness too,<br />
this Act will hopefully deter harmful<br />
behaviour in the realm of social<br />
media.<br />

New Hope For Long Term<br />
Back Pain Sufferers<br />
After more than eight years in<br />
New Zealand, Teeter Hang-Ups<br />
have now gained a reputation<br />
for success with long-term<br />
sufferers of Back pain. Inversion<br />
New Zealand was started<br />
eight years ago by Dave and<br />
Nancy Hare, Dave had<br />
suffered over twenty years of<br />
back pain from Degenerated<br />
Discs and had basically given<br />
up and decided to just live<br />
with it. “To me surgery was<br />
never an option” he said “as<br />
long as I still could walk, there<br />
was hope”.<br />
Dave had tried everything;<br />
every time he was overseas<br />
he would search for anything<br />
that could possibly help.<br />
While on one of these<br />
overseas trips eight years ago,<br />
Dave discovered the Teeter<br />
Hang-Ups. “The first time I<br />
tried it, the pain disappeared<br />
and I was completely pain<br />
free for about 30 minutes,<br />
nothing had done that” he<br />
told me. Dave never believed<br />
it would fix him, “as specialists<br />
had told me it was irreversible,<br />
I now knew I had a place<br />
to go every time I wanted<br />
some serious relief”.<br />
To Dave’s surprise the more<br />
he used the table the longer<br />
the pain stayed away, until<br />
after nearly three months he<br />
was completely pain free, “I<br />
couldn’t believe it’ he told me<br />
“I had spent large amounts of<br />
money on every form of treatment<br />
available and here<br />
was something I had never<br />
heard of sorting it out for<br />
me in a very short period of<br />
time” It was then Dave<br />
decided to introduce Teeter<br />
into New Zealand and Inversion<br />
NZ was born.<br />
Over the years INZ have<br />
helped thousands of people<br />
get some serious relief and<br />
have seen results in not only<br />
backs, but necks, hips,<br />
knees, posture, circulation,<br />
increased height, blood<br />
pressure and lots more.<br />
“We have testimonials from<br />
people with over fifty years<br />
of back problems and even<br />
have them in a number of<br />
schools in New Zealand for<br />
their special needs children”<br />
he told me, “the blood to the<br />
brain helps these kids and<br />
the results are excellent”<br />
What this means for the<br />
aging population is that it<br />
helps maintain the health of<br />
the brain as we all get older.<br />
Dave told me that he<br />
realised that, had he not<br />
tried the Teeter for himself<br />
he would still be suffering, “I<br />
would still be a miserable<br />
grumpy bugger, living with<br />
pain, that is why we do the<br />
shows, people need to try it<br />
for themselves” he told me<br />
“most people actually get<br />
off with the pain either gone<br />
or considerably less” he said<br />
“we let the tables do the<br />
talking”<br />
IT IS PURE LOGIC AS TO HOW<br />
THE TEETER TABLE WORKS<br />
Discs: It uses gravity to apply traction,<br />
the traction gently opens the discs and as<br />
they open up they create suction, this<br />
suction draws fluid from the surrounding<br />
tissue back into the discs, re-hydrating<br />
them. This is the key! Discs do not have<br />
their own blood supply, they rely on<br />
transfer of fluid from the surrounding<br />
tissue to keep them healthy and hydrated<br />
and over the years as discs get thinner with<br />
age, they lose the ability to take on fluid<br />
(just like squeezing a sponge) and they<br />
start to de-hydrate.<br />
De-Hydrated discs are less flexible, they are<br />
harder, more prone to injury, they interfere<br />
with nerve roots creating pain and<br />
ultimately the de-hydration causes degeneration.<br />
The Teeter Inversion table slowly<br />
and gently brings the hydration back into<br />
the discs, plumping them up. This brings<br />
back lost height (most people will regain<br />
around 2 CM of height), it separates the<br />
nerve roots far more effectively and returns<br />
quality of life<br />
Muscles: A lot of pain is muscular, when<br />
muscles are stressed they become tight<br />
which restricts the flow of blood and lymph<br />
through the muscles so toxins build up,<br />
Co2 and Lactic Acid. Traction opens up the<br />
muscles, Rhythmic Traction, is a gentle<br />
rocking motion that stimulates circulation<br />
and encourages blood flow through the<br />
muscles, which clears the lactic acid into<br />
your lymph system where it stimulates<br />
lymph flow and deals with it. Most people<br />
with serious neck issues see a large<br />
improvement after only one treatment.<br />

Frank Harwood (84) of Turangi using his Teeter, Frank has been<br />
Inverting for over eight years and has found it keeps him young<br />
Posture: Poor posture is one of the<br />
major cases of pain and is a major contributor<br />
to the deterioration of the body with<br />
age. A difference in leg length causes most<br />
of the hip and knee issues, as they continue<br />
to place uneven loads on the joints;<br />
similar to the wheels out of alignment on<br />
your car.<br />
Trying to correct posture is extremely<br />
difficult due to muscle memory, as it<br />
constantly pulls the muscles back to where<br />
they were. At a level of 40 degrees or more<br />
on the Teeter, the muscle groups open up<br />
and eventually come back into alignment,<br />
using the table daily, does not allow the<br />
muscle memory to pull them back out of<br />
alignment and slowly the muscles start to<br />
lose their memory and go with the flow,<br />
allowing the body to come back into<br />
correct posture. Then using the table once a<br />
day will ensure it is kept there.<br />
This is pure logic, if a machine is out of<br />
alignment it does not last long, the only<br />
difference between the body and a<br />
machine is that the body is constantly<br />
repairing itself, however if the wear and<br />
tear on the body is greater than the body’s<br />
ability to repair itself, it is a slow decline.<br />
The Teeter slowly brings the body out of its<br />
decline and allows the body to repair itself,<br />
resulting in a far healthier life.<br />
If you are serious about investing in your<br />
health and really sorting your issues out,<br />
come see us at one of our local roadshows,<br />
you have nothing to lose and chances are, a<br />
lot to gain.<br />

TESTIMONIAL<br />
DEAR DAVE AND NANCY<br />
In 2008 I had been living with a serious lower back pain for<br />
many years due to two discs with serious degeneration and<br />
was scheduled for a double spinal fusion at a cost of<br />
$48,000. The Specialist had recommended many lifestyle<br />
changes including changing my profession, which was not<br />
practical as I own my own business.<br />
At the Waikato Home Show I experienced a demonstration<br />
on a Teeter Inversion Table by Dave and Nancy Hare. To me<br />
the effect was amazing, I actually experienced some serious<br />
relief which lasted for an hour or two, I was told that the<br />
relief would last longer with time as long as I used the table<br />
regularly, so with the surgery scheduled for 12 weeks time,<br />
having nothing to lose and a lot to gain I purchased a Teeter.<br />
Four years on I still use my table on a daily basis, my back is<br />
as strong as ever with very little or completely no pain, I am<br />
still at my same profession and working as hard as ever and<br />
most importantly I did not have the surgery. I consider the<br />
purchase of my Teeter has been one of my greatest<br />
investments, not only has it enabled me to avoid serious and<br />
costly surgery, it has kept me in my profession and it has<br />
brought my health back.<br />
Thank you very much for the opportunity.<br />
Very best regards<br />

researched lower back pain, writing "Fix Your<br />
Back" and then spent a few years researching<br />
neck pain, headache and migraine and wrote<br />
"Fix Your Neck Pain, Headache & Migraine",<br />
both books are in most bookstores.<br />
Dr Kanji discovered in his research that the disc<br />
is the most likely source of low back pain and<br />
Inversion showed the best results of all the trials<br />
conducted. Three studies showed a 60%<br />
reduction in pain and one showed a 75%<br />
reduction in surgery for people with disc<br />
prolapse.<br />
Dr Kanji has personally been using the Teeter<br />
Inversion tables for his own low back pain, has<br />
Teeter Inversion tables at both of his clinics in<br />
Wellington (The Sports and Pain Clinic) and has<br />
had such success that he is now conducting the<br />
largest study in the World on Inversion Therapy.<br />
In his own words, "these things are gold and<br />
inversion should be a first line treatment for low<br />
back pain”.<br />
