Neighbours fume over BP<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
RESIDENTS ARE standing<br />
up to one of the biggest petrol<br />
companies in the world as it tries<br />
to expand its Edgeware site.<br />
BP Oil New Zealand owns BP<br />
Edgeware and has applied for a<br />
resource consent to expand its site<br />
at the corner of Edgeware Rd and<br />
Cranford St, adding another four<br />
pumps and 22 more car parks.<br />
To do so, it has bought two<br />
properties north of the site to<br />
expand into.<br />
But residents on Cornwall St<br />
are fuming at the proposal, saying<br />
they weren’t consulted and it will<br />
ruin the area.<br />
One of opponents, Rob Hull,<br />
said it was not what the area<br />
needed and what the Edgeware<br />
Village Master Plan set out to<br />
achieve.<br />
“Our main concern is that it is<br />
completely counter to the district<br />
plan and what was envisaged for<br />
the future of the Edgeware village,”<br />
he said.<br />
The master plan aims to restore<br />
the area as a thriving shopping<br />
centre and community hub.<br />
Another nearby resident,<br />
Monique Posthuma, said all<br />
they can do to battle a “big commercial<br />
corporate entity” was to<br />
“jump up and down”.<br />
“Our biggest concern is it is<br />
going into a residential area. It’s<br />
going away from the plan. What<br />
can we do?” she said.<br />
BP Oil communications and<br />
external affairs manager Shelley<br />
Brady said the demand for service<br />
in the area had increased.<br />
She said improvements<br />
needed to be made to keep up<br />
with that demand and make sure<br />
congestion does not become a<br />
common problem.<br />
“We have been following the<br />
council approval process and<br />
it’s ultimately their decision as<br />
to what will and won’t be approved,”<br />
she said.<br />
City council head of resource<br />
consents John Higgins said the<br />
Edgeware master plan does not<br />
cover the site where the expansion<br />
is proposed.<br />
“It’s important to note that a<br />
master plan does not have the<br />
same relevance when making<br />
notification decisions,” he said.<br />
“This is because the notification<br />
decision focuses on adverse<br />
effects, rather than the broader<br />
planning assessment that is<br />
FUMING:<br />
Residents<br />
are opposed<br />
to the<br />
expansion of<br />
BP Edgeware,<br />
saying it will<br />
ruin the area.<br />

made whether to grant the application<br />
resource consent.”<br />

“Dangerous” intersection<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
AN intersection labelled as<br />
“dangerous” by the community<br />
will not be considered for an<br />
upgrade, according to a recent<br />
city council report.<br />
Parents tell their children to<br />
avoid the Breens, Gardiners<br />
and Harewood rds intersection,<br />
and nearby Breens Intermediate<br />
regularly reminds pupils about<br />
the risks of crossing it.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi<br />
Community Board requested<br />
city council staff investigate the<br />
intersection and report back to<br />
it with solutions.<br />
Staff reported back to the<br />
board saying: “The multi-laned,<br />
stop controlled intersection<br />
does create some difficulties<br />
for pedestrians trying to cross<br />
Harewood Rd immediately at<br />
the intersection, and there are<br />
no cyclist facilities.<br />
“However, there have been<br />
no reported pedestrian or<br />
cyclist crashes in the last<br />
10 years. There are no current<br />
plans for upgrading the intersection.”<br />
More than 14,000 vehicles<br />
pass through the intersection<br />
every day.<br />
Statistics released by the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency<br />
NO UPGRADE: City council staff have recommended that a Harewood intersection does not<br />
need to be upgraded.<br />
show between 2011 and 2015<br />
there were seven minor crashes<br />
and four non-injury crashes at<br />
the intersection.<br />
There were no fatal or serious<br />
injury crashes reported.<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Aaron<br />
Keown said the crash statistics<br />
cannot be the determining factor<br />
as to whether an intersection<br />
is deemed dangerous.<br />
“Under this current council,<br />
we will need a fatality to trigger<br />
an action, and that in my book<br />
is unacceptable,” he said.<br />
Mr Keown said an upgrade is<br />
needed to put the residents and<br />
parents minds at ease.<br />
“It doesn’t take a rocket<br />
scientist to work out that this<br />
intersection will have a fatality<br />
soon and we cannot wait for it<br />
to happen,” he said.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi<br />
Community Board received the<br />
report this week and deputy<br />
chairman David Cartwright<br />
said he will be asking some<br />
“pretty big” questions around<br />
what solutions city council<br />
traffic staff can come up with.<br />

MERIVALE PROJECT<br />
The Stronger Christchurch<br />
Infrastructure Rebuild Team<br />
has launched a six-month<br />
project in Merivale to repair a<br />
large wastewater pipe. SCIRT<br />
started work yesterday at the<br />
western end of Aikmans Rd<br />
near Elmwood Normal School.<br />
The work will continue for<br />
about six weeks. The western<br />
half of Aikmans Rd will<br />
be open to one-way going<br />
east towards Papanui Rd.<br />
Commuters going west down<br />
Aikmans will be detoured into<br />
Akela St, Cox St, Sterling St<br />
and Office Rd. This is the first<br />
of the wastewater pipe’s four<br />
repair stages.<br />
OPTIONS DISCUSSED<br />
The Shirley-Papanui<br />
Community Board will meet<br />
tomorrow to discuss a proposal<br />
to make changes to Blighs Rd,<br />
from Papanui Rd to Watford<br />
St, to solve congestion and<br />
safety issues. City council<br />
staff provided the board with<br />
two options. Option one is<br />
to do nothing. Option two<br />
is to remove parking along<br />
the north side of Blighs Rd<br />
from 181 Blighs Rd to the<br />
intersection with Papanui Rd,<br />
remove part of the kerb and<br />
move the cycle lane further to<br />
the left near the kerbside.<br />

The role of community boards<br />
Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi<br />
Community Board<br />
deputy chairman<br />
David Cartwright<br />
writes this week’s<br />
Soap Box about the role a<br />
community board plays in<br />
society and his time in local<br />
body politics over the past<br />
three years.<br />
As we approach the local body<br />
elections, I find myself having<br />
many interesting and sometimes<br />
challenging conversations with<br />
friends, colleagues, and people<br />
in the community regarding<br />
the process and purpose of<br />
community boards.<br />
As with anything, the opinions<br />
and level of understanding<br />
around the role of community<br />
boards covers the entire spectrum<br />
from those who see just another<br />
pointless layer of bureaucracy, to<br />
those who are very supportive and<br />
really value the community level<br />
advocacy and decision-making the<br />
boards can provide.<br />
Often the strongest supporters<br />
are those who have had some<br />
kind of contact with the board,<br />
perhaps through being involved<br />
with a deputation, receiving a<br />
grant for a community event,<br />
or communicating with board<br />
members regarding improvements<br />
to local facilities or infrastructure.<br />
At the heart of it, the success and<br />
relevance of a community board<br />
can be measured on its ability to<br />
communicate with and advocate<br />
for their community – that is our<br />
purpose.<br />
As I come to the end of my<br />
second term on the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi Community Board, the<br />
range of issues and events we are<br />
involved in continues to excite and<br />
motivate me.<br />
The small things really do make<br />
a difference when it comes to<br />
improving wellbeing, safety, and<br />
engagement at a community level.<br />
Some of the highlights of<br />
this term has been delivering<br />
the new Burnside Park<br />
fitness track, progressing the<br />
replacement Bishopdale Library,<br />
addressing car parking demands<br />
at Jellie Park, and granting funds<br />
to the talented youth of our ward<br />
to attend local and international<br />
sporting and cultural events.<br />
Recently the board has heard<br />
deputations on the intersection of<br />
Gardiners and Harewood Rds and<br />
looked at various short and longterm<br />
solutions to address the ever<br />
increasing traffic on our roads.<br />
Other deputations have covered<br />
issues such as the drying up of<br />
our rivers and streams, increasing<br />
quarrying and land use issues, and<br />
the removal of problem trees on<br />
health or safety grounds.<br />
Of course, not all issues can<br />
be solved at a community board<br />
level, but board members can<br />
elevate any issue with council staff,<br />
request additional information,<br />
and work to find an agreeable<br />
outcome.<br />
All of this means one of the<br />
most important attributes of<br />
an effective board member is<br />
the ability to really listen and<br />
communicate with residents, other<br />
board members, city councillors<br />
and city council staff.<br />
So when you come to complete<br />
your voting papers in October,<br />
take the time to find out more<br />
about the candidates, think about<br />
the issues that matter to you<br />
and your neighbours, and take a<br />
pro-active approach to deciding<br />
who will be your voice in the<br />
community.<br />

should be focusing on? Share<br />

A reader responds to a recent article about a lack of<br />
parking at the Northlands Shopping Centre, forcing<br />
shoppers and staff to park in the surrounding streets of<br />
Papanui, which is creating traffic issues.<br />
P Stuart, Papanui<br />
I would just like to add my<br />
comments to your article about<br />
Kathleen Crisley’s concerns<br />
about all-day parking in the<br />
side streets of Papanui. I agree<br />
with all she has said. I would<br />
like to add that Mary St residents<br />
also suffer because the<br />
street is so narrow. It is very<br />
dangerous as far as traffic is<br />
concerned. We have cars coming<br />
from St Albans heading<br />
north and cars taking shortcuts<br />
off Papanui Rd through<br />
the side streets. Now think<br />
of the residents who want to<br />
get out of their driveways at<br />
peak times, which is almost<br />
anytime. It is daunting to avoid<br />
the traffic and to do a turn to<br />
go either way as cars on the<br />
opposite side are parked, with<br />
4WD vehicles blocking your<br />
exit view. If your property is<br />
two houses away from the side<br />
streets, you have to be aware of<br />
them and it is all quite scary.<br />
When we were notified twohour<br />
parking was going to be<br />
introduced, and were asked to<br />
give views, I did so quite constructively.<br />
Everything I suggested<br />
went the complete opposite<br />
direction. As a ratepayer<br />
on this property for 56 years, I<br />
object to my visitors having to<br />
walk a distance because there<br />
are no parks available close to<br />
my home. I object to the fear<br />
I have of being involved in a<br />
crash. The school holidays and<br />
Christmas are approaching so<br />
the nightmare continues.<br />
PARKING<br />
PROBLEMS:<br />
Residents say<br />
that malls are<br />
not providing<br />
enough car<br />
parks for their<br />
employees<br />
and shoppers,<br />

Apples<br />
From the Garden of Eden to Abbey Road and Silicon<br />
Valley, apples have been an enduring motif for our<br />
cultural journey.<br />
Like William Tell and Sir Isaac Newton before him,<br />
Ashley Smith, in this show, uses apples to his own<br />
ends.<br />
Some samples from this tasty crop may very well<br />
keep the doctor away - but, then again, there could<br />
be something decidedly sinister under the skin of<br />
that rosy red apple being offered.<br />
Artist, Ashley Smith escaped into the wilds of<br />
coastal North Canterbury over 30yrs ago and still<br />
finds fascination in its rural myths and practices.<br />
Canterbury’s often crazy weather patterns also<br />
continue to influence his paintings ( and mental<br />
juices).<br />
Ashley’s subjects are rendered in a variety of styles<br />
– many honed during extensive global meanderings.<br />
During these he has worked for publishers in<br />
Australia, England and America, studied batik in<br />
Indonesia, been a member of the Stuttgard Art<br />
Society and met his future wife in the 602 Club,<br />
Madison Wisconsin!<br />

In Brief<br />
$2M RESTORATION<br />
The historic Deans’ farm<br />
buildings on the Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School site will be<br />
repaired at a cost of more than<br />
$2 million. The school will run<br />
a major community fundraising<br />
campaign after its insurance<br />
payout fell $1 million short of<br />
the restoration cost. The old<br />
buildings are one of the last<br />
remnants of the Deans’ family<br />
farm. The buildings were badly<br />
damaged in the February 22,<br />
2011 earthquake.<br />
FORFAR ST REPAIRS<br />
Fletcher Construction is<br />
currently undertaking<br />
wastewater renewal work in<br />
the St Albans and Mairehau<br />
areas. Work has begun to<br />
repair earthquake-damaged<br />
wastewater pipes along Forfar<br />
St. Two-way traffic will be<br />
maintained by a stop-go<br />
system along Forfar St between<br />
properties 67 and 100. On-street<br />
parking will not be available in<br />
the immediate work area.<br />
MAN KNOCKED OFF BIKE<br />
A man in his 20s was taken<br />
to the 24hr Surgery on Bealey<br />
Ave with minor injuries after<br />
he was knocked of his bike on<br />
Wednesday. St John sent an<br />
ambulance to the scene at the<br />
intersection of Condell and<br />
Matsons Aves about 8.15am.<br />
RATEPAYERS BUY HOMES<br />
The city council may spend<br />
about $2.5 million to buy seven<br />
Flockton Basin properties<br />
because they cannot be<br />
protected from flooding.<br />
Similar purchases could be in<br />
store for other high-risk flood<br />
areas across Christchurch<br />
over the next 12-18 months.<br />
To date, none of the offers had<br />
been accepted by the property<br />
owners.<br />
TREES WANTED<br />
City councillor Pauline Cotter<br />
has received a request for trees<br />
to be planted on Edgeware Rd<br />
between Barbadoes and Hills<br />
Rds. Cr Cotter has said an<br />
investigation will be made into<br />
the feasibility of this request and<br />
the person wanting the trees has<br />
been contacted regarding this.<br />
CAR OFF ROAD<br />
A man was taken to<br />
Christchurch Hospital with<br />
moderate injuries after the car<br />
he was driving went off the road<br />
early Sunday morning. St John<br />
sent an ambulance to the scene<br />
on Marshland Rd about 1am<br />
after they were alerted by police.<br />
The man in his 20s was assessed<br />
at the scene and taken to<br />

PARTNERSHIP: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School is teaming up with Crimson Consulting<br />
which will be the first partnership of its kind between a school and a<br />
commercial enterprise in New Zealand.<br />
School forms partnership<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’<br />
School is teaming up with a<br />
21-year-old entrepreneur’s<br />
company to help students<br />
into tertiary education.<br />
Crimson Consulting,<br />
the company set up by<br />
then 18-year-old Jamie<br />
Beaton, will be sending one<br />
of its tutors to Rangi as a<br />
full-time “career pathway<br />
strategist”.<br />
The young Harvard<br />
graduate’s business was<br />
valued at $60 million<br />
earlier this year after<br />
acquiring numerous<br />
smaller educational<br />
consultancies.<br />
Mr Beaton started the<br />
company in 2013 with his<br />
girlfriend Shandre Kushor,<br />
also 18 at the time, and<br />
soon attracted investment<br />
from US billionaires.<br />
His share of the education<br />
consultancy is now<br />
worth $40.5 million.<br />
Mr Beaton’s fellow<br />
Harvard graduate Wen Qiu<br />
will be joining the school as<br />
part of a new partnership<br />
between the college and the<br />
company.<br />
Rangi Ruru principal Dr<br />
Sandra Hastie says this collaboration<br />
is about assisting<br />
students with career plans<br />
and “connecting them with<br />
information”.<br />
It is the first partnership<br />
of its kind between a school<br />
and a commercial enterprise<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
Crimson Consulting is<br />
best known for its mentoring<br />
programmes aimed at<br />
young people wishing to go<br />
to top overseas universities<br />
like Harvard and Cambridge.<br />

Wine auction for chapel<br />
ST ANDREW’S College will<br />
auction off a former student’s<br />
wine to raise money to help<br />
build its new centennial<br />
chapel.<br />
A limited edition range of<br />
China Girl pinot noir, produced<br />
by Crown Range Cellar<br />
in Queenstown, will go under<br />
the hammer on Thursday at<br />
Strowan House.<br />
Crown Range Cellar chief<br />
executive Jing Song, 29, said<br />
the China Girl collection is<br />
derived from grapes that were<br />
hand-picked from a piece of<br />
land known as Chinaman’s<br />
Terrace, on Bendigo Hill,<br />
Otago.<br />
The grapes came from the<br />
site of an early Chinese settlement.<br />
“Since coming here from<br />
China as a 12-year-old, I have<br />
spent most of my life in the<br />
Central Otago region and we<br />
crafted China Girl pinot noir<br />
as a testament to the historical<br />
mining region and the many<br />
Chinese who lived here, often<br />
under harsh conditions, in<br />
those times,” Ms Song said.<br />
She said the auction is a way<br />
of giving something back to<br />
the school which set her on<br />
course for a successful business<br />
career as a wine producer<br />
and entrepreneur.<br />
Auction items on the evening<br />
include four sets of six<br />
750ml bottles of China Girl<br />
pinot noir and six individually<br />
cased, 1.5-litre magnums of<br />
China Girl pinot noir. There’s<br />
also one of only six limited<br />
edition, nine-litre China Girl<br />
pinot noir bottles, handlabelled<br />
and signed by Sir<br />
Michael Hill, Prime Minister<br />
John Key, Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
and St Andrew’s principal<br />
Christine Leighton.<br />
Get in touch with the school<br />
for ticket information.<br />
GIVING BACK: Former St<br />
Andrew’s College student<br />
Jing Song will provide the<br />
school with award-winning<br />
wine to raise money for the<br />
new chapel. <br />

Old timber saves historic bridge<br />
RECLAIMED Australian<br />
hardwood timber is<br />
breathing new life into one of<br />
Christchurch’s oldest bridges.<br />
Helmores Lane Bridge, the<br />
city’s only surviving 19th-century<br />
timber bridge, will live<br />
longer with the help of timber<br />
salvaged from two Waitaki<br />
River bridges built in 1881.<br />
Repairs will take about five<br />
months before the bridge can<br />
be opened to pedestrians and<br />
cyclists.<br />
Thirty bridge piles, made<br />
of the Australian hardwood,<br />
Jarrah, were brought from the<br />
Waitaki District Council for<br />
the cost of a donation.<br />
It was a lot less expensive<br />
than importing new hardwood<br />
from Australia for the<br />
earthquake repairs.<br />
Using re-claimed timber fits<br />
the conservation practice of<br />
sourcing material as close as<br />
possible to the original for the<br />
repair and restoration of heritage<br />
structures.<br />
Helmores Lane Bridge is<br />
listed with Heritage New Zealand<br />
and is the only remaining<br />
example of a propped-beam<br />
timber bridge in Christchurch.<br />
While the bridge has been<br />
repaired and widened, about<br />
80 per cent of the original timber<br />
frame remains.<br />
Stronger Christchurch<br />
Infrastructure Rebuild Team<br />
executive general manager Ian<br />
Campbell said it was a challenging<br />
project.<br />
“You are trying to protect<br />
an original structure and its<br />
character, while providing the<br />
protection of a modern structure,”<br />
Mr Campbell said.<br />
The original 17-metre long<br />
bridge now requires new access<br />
ways which will be about<br />
five metres long at each end.<br />

Quiz trophy returns to Burnside<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH School<br />
classical studies students have<br />
won the Logie Cup for the<br />
second year in a row.<br />
The Logie Cup is a classical<br />
studies quiz that has been<br />
running since 1999 and<br />
competed in by high school<br />
students.<br />
Charlotte Gillingham, Sachin<br />
Sakthivel, Sean Ward and Evan<br />
Wills made up the Burnside<br />
team who competed and beat<br />
secondary schools from all<br />
around the South Island.<br />
The questions require general<br />
classics knowledge.<br />
Some are easy, others are<br />
challenging, but usually a team<br />
of four can come up with an<br />
answer.<br />
Burnside classics head of<br />
department Gina Fernandez<br />
said she was extremely proud of<br />
her students winning the cup<br />
for the second year in a row.<br />
“They worked so well together.<br />
Winning it for the second year<br />
in a row is a huge achievement<br />
also, they have done so well,”<br />
she said.<br />
The questions are based off<br />
what has been taught throughout<br />
the year in their classes,<br />
Burnside was studying Alexander<br />
the Great and his conquest<br />
of the Persian Empire.<br />

SPORTS<br />
Challenging children<br />
JUNIOR PUPILS at Wairakei<br />
School participate once a week<br />
in a multi-level sports<br />
programme catering for different<br />
needs through a variety of<br />
activities.<br />
While the year 5 and 6 pupils<br />
head off for their inter-school<br />
winter sports tournament on<br />
Friday afternoons, the year 1 to<br />
4 pupils get outside and take on<br />
many different challenges.<br />
Generally, the year 1 children<br />
participate in the school’s<br />
perceptual motor programme,<br />
which teaches them some of the<br />
most basic elements of sport.<br />
The others are mixed into<br />
different groups and have skillbased<br />
lessons and other physical<br />
activity to encourage wellness.<br />
Principal Shane Buckner said<br />
it is so great seeing the older<br />
children supporting the younger<br />
ones.<br />
“It is absolutely brilliant to<br />
have the parents come along and<br />
support the teachers by providing<br />
extra supervision and assistance,”<br />
he said.<br />
Getting to grips with gym gear<br />
BOUNCING ON trampolines<br />
and learning forward rolls<br />
were just two of the activities<br />
Cotswold School pupils got into<br />
at the Christchurch School of<br />
Gymnastics.<br />
The junior school pupils put<br />
the skills they have been learning<br />
at school into practice and after<br />
a jazzy warm up, pupils were<br />
separated into different stations<br />
around the gym.<br />
They used the big trampolines,<br />
the rings and bars, the beams, and<br />
the forward roll mats.<br />
Eight-year-old Lewis Ashby said<br />
it was great to learn new things.<br />
“We learnt new things on the<br />
beam like backwards dips, bunny<br />
hops and even ribbon throws,” he<br />

A highlight for the year 3<br />

the instructors demonstrate<br />
his fancy flips on one of the big<br />

it a go – showing the kids their<br />

FANCY FEET: Seyara de Silva performed a dance for<br />

St Joseph’s School’s annual talent<br />
quest showcased some of the<br />
pupils’ best acts and thrilled the<br />
audience. All pupils from years<br />
1-8 had the opportunity to enter<br />
the talent quest. There was a<br />
preliminary round held to choose<br />
the acts worthy of being included<br />
in the finals. On the night, there<br />
was singing, dancing, musical acts<br />
and pupils dressed up as their<br />
favourite Star Wars characters.<br />
It is organised and run by senior<br />
students who were also involved in<br />
the judging. Principal Mark Gregory<br />
said it was a great event for the<br />
school. “A gold coin donation from<br />
the audience ensured funds raised<br />
assist a charitable organisation,” he<br />
said.

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
COLD TEMPERATURES<br />
didn’t slow entrants as they put<br />
on their best fancy dress and<br />
lined up to compete in the UC<br />
Education Mud Run.<br />
The 5km event involved more<br />
than 1000 students and teachers<br />
from 35 schools all across<br />
Christchurch, and from as far<br />
afield as Mt Hutt, Timaru and<br />
Cheviot.<br />
Papanui High School had success<br />
in the best dressed category<br />
and the non-competitive short<br />
team boys’ category.<br />
It was started after the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquakes<br />
to give people a chance to think<br />
about something different, if<br />
only for the duration of the<br />
course.<br />
Although the temperature<br />
stayed below 10 deg C, the day<br />
was full of excitement and energy,<br />
and spectacular costumes<br />
worn by the runners.<br />
Sport Canterbury event<br />
manager Lucy Ryan said this<br />
year will be remembered for the<br />
calibre of costumes, which are<br />
known for getting “better and<br />
better each year.”<br />
The event has grown from its<br />
start of 200 entries to more than<br />
1000 people lining up to have a<br />
go. •More sport page 18<br />

Isabella Garbett<br />
Giving young people a voice<br />
St Andrew’s College student Isabella Garbett, 17, was<br />
recognised at the Canterbury Youth Awards for helping give<br />
young people a voice. She spoke to Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding about engaging with the youth of the city, her views<br />
on gender inequality and the time she spends feeding the<br />
homeless every Sunday.<br />
How does it feel to have<br />
been awarded the Advocate<br />
Inclusion and Diversity Award<br />
at the Canterbury Youth<br />
Awards last week?<br />
I was quite surprised. Aside<br />
from that, I am so incredibly<br />
humbled because the people I<br />
was up against do some incredible<br />
things. So good, but at the<br />
same time I wish everyone could<br />
be recognised for the awesome<br />
things they have done.<br />
This award is about ensuring<br />
young people have a voice.<br />
Could you tell me about some<br />
of the things you do to ensure<br />
this happens in the city?<br />
Primarily what I do outside of<br />
school is volunteer for New Zealand<br />
Red Cross project, Bounce.<br />
It came about after the earthquake<br />
and it is centred around<br />
creating a space for young people<br />
to talk about well-being and<br />
gearing them up with some tips<br />
to deal with tough times. It is<br />
run by young people for young<br />
people. I came in when they were<br />
starting to re-brand. It is about<br />
finding ways to engage people. A<br />
lot of people don’t want to read a<br />
text book. It’s targeted at people<br />
aged 12-24. In school, I am also<br />
the head of community service,<br />
the sustainability council, the<br />
student council and head of<br />
debating.<br />
But that’s not all you are doing.<br />
Are you an advocate for<br />
women’s rights as well?<br />
Most things I do with a feminist<br />
lens. There is a real trend<br />
with year 9-11 students where<br />
they are quite apathetic to a lot of<br />
women’s issues. (Men and women)<br />
might be equal in the eyes of<br />
the law, but we are not equal in<br />
the eyes of society. It is important<br />
to me when that younger<br />
generation comes through that<br />
they don’t forget about where we<br />
have come from and we have a<br />
good appreciation of women and<br />
their places in society. But feminism<br />
isn’t just about women – it<br />
affects men, too.<br />
What did you think of the<br />
whole Hornby High School<br />
skirt debacle last week?<br />
That is just another classic<br />
example of ridiculous doublestandards.<br />
Because when you<br />
tell girls that they need to wear<br />
longer skirts because they are<br />
distracting male teachers or male<br />
students, you are telling a boy<br />
he is more entitled to education<br />
than a girl is – and that is just not<br />
the case. A lot of the time people<br />
don’t think about what they are<br />
saying and how it translates. I<br />
know the school’s response was<br />
that it was not what they were<br />
quite trying to say, but as soon as<br />
you start saying those messages<br />
it is really harmful.<br />
Is there inequality in the city?<br />
Yes, it is not horrific, but New<br />
Zealand on a whole has quite<br />
an interesting culture in terms<br />
of gender inequality. Even with<br />
young boys and the messages<br />
we give them – that they have<br />
got to be strong, don’t cry – that<br />
is harmful. It is about ensuring<br />
both genders are given equal<br />
opportunity. We have horrendous<br />
domestic violence, rape,<br />
sexual violence. We have got bad<br />
suicide stats in New Zealand as<br />
a whole.<br />
And you have made a major<br />
contribution to the homeless?<br />
Our school has a relationship<br />
with this taxi driver called<br />
Daniel, who runs a feeding the<br />
homeless thing every Sunday at<br />
Latimer Square. I started doing<br />
that in year 10. I like to give back<br />
when I can. Over time I have<br />
built up some cool relationships<br />

with the people (involved).<br />
Being able to understand why<br />
the homeless are where they<br />
are, and what is going on in<br />
their lives, is like building a<br />
friendship.<br />
Tell me about some of the<br />
most interesting people you<br />
have met?<br />
I met someone the other day<br />
who has been out of prison for<br />
five years. He is now working<br />
with more recently released<br />
prisoners to help them deal with<br />
getting out of prison. There was<br />
another guy, I’m not sure what<br />
his background was, but he<br />
sleeps on the street. He is one of<br />
the nicest people I have ever met.<br />
He keeps the order (in Latimer<br />
Square), makes sure everyone<br />
stands in a line and the kids get<br />
fed first. He is the last to come<br />
up and that is really humbling<br />
to see.<br />
What is it like seeing people<br />
your own age and even younger<br />
in that situation?<br />
It breaks my heart. I do the<br />
things I do because I have an<br />
education and opportunity,<br />
which means I will be able to go<br />
somewhere. It is people like that<br />
who keep me in check.<br />
You are in your last year of<br />
school. What do you want to do<br />
next year?<br />
I want to go to Victoria University<br />
of Wellington. I want<br />
to do a law degree and major<br />
in gender studies and history and<br />
do a Bachelor of Arts.<br />
What is your big dream?<br />
I want to end up running an<br />
aid organisation. I want to focus<br />
on women’s issues. I would love<br />
to do something in first-world<br />
countries in the lower-social<br />
economic areas. Then, after that,<br />
I want to go to Africa. I have got<br />
a teacher who taught in Uganda.<br />
I would love to do something<br />
like that. It is going to be a lot<br />
of work, but hopefully I am in a<br />
situation raising the awareness of<br />
people who are in the positions<br />
of power. Also enabling those<br />
who aren’t in power to get to<br />
where they want to be.<br />
Do you have any other<br />
hobbies in your spare time?<br />
I play four instruments and<br />
I sing. Violin, piano, guitar<br />
and viola. I love playing in the<br />
school orchestra. Aside from<br />
that, I hang out with my friends.<br />
I would not be anywhere near<br />
where I am today if it was not<br />
for my friends and family. I am<br />
really lucky to have people who<br />
challenge me to think more<br />
critically. I have two younger<br />
brothers and my grandmother<br />
also lives with us. I love them<br />
dearly.<br />

Research Supports<br />
Eye Health<br />
NutritioNal researchers have<br />
discovered a range of nutrients that are<br />
essential for eye health. some of the most<br />
essential nutrients that have been shown to<br />
protect and even improve eye function are:<br />
selenium, is a trace mineral that is low<br />
in N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our<br />
foods. researchers believe selenium may<br />
help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration<br />
(the leading cause of impaired vision in older<br />
people) and may also improve dry eyes and<br />
general eye health.<br />
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage<br />
of the population are low in. Zinc has been<br />
shown to help protect the eyes from the<br />
damaging effects of light as well as slow<br />
vision loss due to macular degeneration.<br />
Vitamin c, citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene<br />
(Pro-vitamin a) and copper have<br />
potent antioxidant ability and help protect<br />
the eyes from damage<br />
lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing<br />
nutrients that have been shown in landmark<br />
research to not only provide potent eye<br />
protection but may even help reverse<br />
some of the signs of age-related macular<br />
degeneration (aMD).<br />
Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent<br />
antioxidants may help protect the lens and<br />
retina from damage and reduce the risk<br />
of cataracts. They also may help improve<br />
blood supply to the eye, strengthen the small<br />
capillaries of the eye and may help improve<br />
night vision, may alleviate many eye ailments<br />
including eye fatigue that may be caused by<br />
reading, driving and computers.<br />
eyebright may help normalise eye pressure<br />
and reduce eye allergies.<br />
taurine is an amino acid that is essential<br />
for correct eye function. it may also have a<br />
detoxifying affect on the eye.<br />
Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,<br />
bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.<br />
Yumberry is the latest in eye protection.<br />
it provides many nutrients, is rich in<br />
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (oPc’s) that<br />
are potent antioxidants that may protect<br />
eyesight.<br />
These nutrients taken in a therapeutic<br />
amount should provide comprehensive eye<br />
protection, may slow and possibly even help<br />
reverse eye damage that could lead to loss<br />
of vision. all these nutrients are available<br />
in an economical one a day easy to swallow<br />
capsule.<br />

Co-Q10 Reduces all causes<br />
of Mortality by 50%<br />
researchers Were amazed with the<br />
results of how beneficial a natural nutrient<br />
coenzyme- Q10 (coQ10) is to the human<br />
body. co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in<br />
the body’s cells that is essential for cell<br />
function, energy and survival. The heart,<br />
liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large<br />
amounts of co-Q10 to function well.<br />
in a recent multi country double blind<br />
trial on the possible benefits of coQ10 to<br />
protect against heart failure, 420 patients<br />
with severe heart failure were given<br />
coQ10 or a placebo and then followed for<br />
2 years. it was found to the amazement of<br />
the researchers the patients who received<br />

the co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an<br />
adverse cardiovascular event or death<br />
compared to the placebo patients. Not<br />
only this but the patients on the coQ10<br />
had a 50% reduction in death not only<br />
from cardiovascular events but from all<br />
causes.<br />
according to lead study author<br />
Professor Mortensen this study is the first<br />
in over a decade to show a natural nutrient<br />
can reduce heart failure mortality and<br />
coQ10 should be added as a standard<br />
treatment for anyone with cardiovascular<br />
complaints. it is known that coQ10 levels<br />
decrease in the heart muscle of patients<br />
with heart failure as severity worsens.<br />
statin drugs are used to treat many<br />
patients with cardiovascular problems<br />
but these drugs also reduce coQ10<br />
levels further in the body. symptoms<br />
of low coQ10 in the body can be low<br />
energy and endurance, muscle pain,<br />
poor memory, concentration and poor<br />
heart function or heart failure.<br />
coQ10 levels are known to decrease<br />
as we age and many researchers<br />
believe keeping our levels up of this<br />
vital nutrient may help prevent many<br />
chronic diseases including cancer.<br />
co-Q10 is available as a natural<br />
supplement to support good health.<br />

Co-Q10 Vital for Good Health<br />
Co-Q10 is a nutrient that is absolutely vital to every cell to perform its function & live. It is<br />
essential for energy production, muscle function & required in sufficient amounts for the<br />
heart to keep beating. A deficiency will affect all organs & sufficient Co-Q10 is considered an<br />
important factor in reducing the chances of chronic disease & reduced life expectancy. Co-<br />
Q10 is a fat soluble nutrient & its absorption is enhanced when it is in a base of fatty acids.<br />
This formula contains 150mg of naturally fermented Co-Q10 in a special blend of fatty acids<br />
(Fish, Flaxseed & EP Oils) to enhance the absorption.<br />
Co-Q10 Supports:<br />
• Cardiovascular health<br />
• Blood circulation<br />

Winter Warmer - Hot tips<br />
for cold weather<br />
Does that nip in the air make it hard<br />
to get moving? What better way to warm<br />
yourself than getting the blood pumping to<br />
warm up on the inside.<br />
The less active we are, the more we feel the<br />
cold. But it’s easy to warm hands and feet by<br />
working muscles and joints while staying dry<br />
and warm in front of tV.<br />
The aircycle exerciser is an indoor warmer<br />
which gets your circulation going in no time.<br />
The movement is a gentle awakening for<br />
sleepy muscles and joints, warms and loosens<br />
them to ease them into action.<br />
tight, cold muscles mean decreased<br />
mobility and are more prone to injury.<br />
imagine putting a rubber band in the freezer<br />
and then trying to stretch it over a large box.<br />
it snaps. But warm the rubber band slowly<br />
and it will stretch to take the force of your<br />
pull. That band is like your muscles in winter.<br />
it is unnecessary to use the aircycle for<br />
lengthy periods. short, frequent spells<br />
throughout the day and evening are most<br />
effective. a few minutes while sitting with<br />
a coffee or chatting on the phone will keep<br />
blood circulating and feet and hands warm.<br />
a good warm up keeps the body running<br />
like a well oiled machine. Mrs spier wrote, “i<br />
have arthritis and joint problems. When i’ve<br />
been using the aircycle i feel as though i’ve<br />
had a good lube. My joints are more flexible<br />
and i can garden more easily.”<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get rid of dampness<br />
in your house<br />
NoW WItH the colder and wetter weather<br />
on its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />
healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />
rISINg DAMP is an issue that affects many of<br />
our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes that<br />
suffer from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from<br />
the ground and enter a house every day, leading<br />
to mildew, mould, condensation and musty<br />
smells. Moulds can produce various allergic<br />
reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally<br />
owned and operated firm. The team understands<br />
the problems caused by rising damp and are<br />
there to help. They will come to your damp home<br />
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete<br />
under your timber floored home. Specially<br />
adapted for our New Zealand conditions and<br />
applications it provides a layer of protection<br />
against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit<br />
that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
have noticed recently, is that many owners<br />
of properties which had underfloor foam<br />
concrete installed, reported that it also provided<br />
protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />

Warming winter with<br />
EnviroMaster<br />
Are you struggling with the heat of<br />
Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />
Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility<br />
of being able to heat and cool which is an<br />
advantage no other appliance can offer. This<br />
represents great value for your investment<br />
as you can use it all year round. The team<br />
at enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool<br />
this Summer either at home or work. enviro<br />
Master supplies, installs and services all the<br />
leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team<br />
can show you which system and brand will<br />
best suit your needs.<br />
We currently have savings up to $600 off<br />
the recommended retail price on<br />
selected models.<br />
Would you like to maximise the number<br />
of days you can use your swimming pool?<br />
Heating your pool can do this and one of the<br />
most cost effective ways is with a water heat<br />
pump. enviro Master Ltd can supply, install<br />
and service you swimming pool heat pump<br />
providing you with a comfortable, extended<br />
swimming season.<br />
Servicing your heat pump is extremely<br />
important to ensure that it is working<br />
as effectively and efficiently as possible<br />
resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,<br />
lower power bills and greater comfort. But<br />
beware, not all cleaning companies are<br />
equal. We are constantly hearing of people<br />
being charged huge amounts for servicing<br />
and all they are getting is a heat pump<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
clean. We at enviro Master, are qualified<br />
engineers and therefore are able to fully<br />
test and diagnose any problems you may<br />
or may not be aware of with your heat<br />
pump. Also, as we are associated with all<br />
major brands, we are able to repair these<br />
under warranty if they are still within the<br />
warranty period.<br />
It is important to remember, when<br />
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />
warranty does not cover the installation<br />
and consumers could be responsible for<br />
any repair or damage caused to the system<br />
due to poor installation. enviro Master’s<br />
five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />
correct installation, and a demonstration so<br />
customers have an understanding on how it<br />
will best meet their needs.<br />

At last an energy saving device that<br />
gives your household direct energy<br />
savings on your hot water power bills.<br />
our ProVeN technology helps customers<br />
manage their hot water heating by saving<br />
money without impacting on their hot<br />
water availability. Introducing our breakthrough<br />
technology, the iSmart Hot Water<br />
Controller which can be easily retrofitted<br />
to any hot water cylinder by a qualified<br />
electrician, so no need to replace your hot<br />
water cylinder. More sophisticated than a<br />
timer, the iSmart Controller comes with an<br />
LCD touch screen so you can programme<br />
when you heat up your hot water, plans<br />
for period of high use, can be boosted<br />
when you’ve got unexpected demand and<br />
minimise power use when away on holiday.<br />
How Does it Work?<br />
• easy to use LCD display touch screen<br />
• you can program the times when you<br />
want the hot water available<br />
• Calculates if there is enough hot<br />
water and only heats up when required.<br />
• easily adjust the savings you want to<br />
make<br />
• Boost Mode Function for when those<br />
unexpected guests turn up<br />
• Holiday mode – your hot water can be<br />
safely turned off while you are away.<br />
• Legionella Protection – once a week<br />
automatically gets up to 60deg’s to kill<br />
any legionella bacteria.<br />

to eNSure the quality of your air, contact<br />
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate<br />
the required air exchange for your building<br />
requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of<br />
ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />
for fans, for both the commercial and domestic<br />
markets. They have an extensive range of fans<br />
and ventilation components in-store but they<br />
can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<br />
differing requirements.<br />
VeNtILAtIoN<br />
This includes both the exchange of air to the<br />
outside as well as circulation of air within the<br />
building. It is one of the most important factors<br />
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in<br />
buildings.<br />
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to live and work. In case<br />
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />
smells, humidity and harmful substances are not<br />
removed.<br />
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a<br />
high content of dust and tobacco smoke are<br />
harmful and can cause various diseases. even<br />
bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />
nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open<br />
windows for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />
approaches, we start to shut up out houses to<br />
trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can<br />
decline.<br />
It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

watching the sunset over the Alps in the<br />
evening.<br />

Pasifika engineer<br />
reboots Plan A<br />
Pasifika students are slowly<br />
gravitating towards engineering. Third year<br />
Bachelor of engineering technology student<br />
at ara institute of technology, Richard Ofa,<br />
urges them to think long term.<br />
Richard is motivated. He has worked at a<br />
semi-skilled level. after graduating from an<br />
it qualification at ara (then CPit), he took<br />
a temporary job as a CnC machine operator<br />
at skOPe. The money was good at the time,<br />
but several years later he was still in the same<br />
position.<br />
Richard took stock and realised he wanted<br />
to be an engineer, designing the products<br />
that he had been assembling at skOPe. He<br />
needed an engineering qualification.<br />
The ara three year engineering degree<br />
offered evening classes, which allowed<br />
Richard to continue working. “i have<br />
a responsibility to my family and the<br />
community, so not working isn’t an option,”<br />
he says.<br />
Richard negotiated to work part time at<br />
skOPe and launched into his engineering<br />
studies. “Coming back to study, working with<br />
computers, doing 3d modelling, it’s what i<br />
have always wanted to do.<br />
“i love problem solving, being creative and<br />
coming up with new ideas. for my third year<br />
project, skOPe gave me a project to work<br />
on. it’s a sliding door design, a new design. i<br />
am quietly confident it will work out.”<br />
The degree will certainly open doors for<br />
Richard. “i am hoping to get a full time<br />
design job with skOPe when i graduate.<br />
My long term plan is project management<br />
– i will probably come back and do some<br />
project management papers at ara in five to<br />
10 years’ time when i have some experience.<br />
“My family are happy, in that island<br />
way, now they can see the value of the<br />
qualification.<br />
Meanwhile, Richard is seeing more<br />
Pasifika students in engineering. “The first<br />
year i was the only fulltime Pasifika student,<br />
but numbers have increased in the last<br />
two years, including the number of female<br />
Pasifika engineering students.<br />
“The biggest challenge is managing the<br />
workload of studying and working. i work<br />
three days a week and study full time, so i<br />
look forward to a sleep-in on the weekend,”<br />
he says.<br />

Heavyweight<br />
luncheon<br />
HEAVYWEIGHT<br />
champion boxer Joseph<br />
Parker and trainer Kevin<br />
Barry are special guests at a<br />
lunch taking place at<br />
Addington Raceway &<br />
Events Centre on Friday, 15<br />
<strong>July</strong> 2016.<br />
Kevin Barry, a light<br />
heavyweight boxing silver<br />
medallist at the 1984<br />
Olympics, took on Joseph<br />
Parker's training after being<br />
headhunted by Duco Events<br />
three years ago. Kevin quickly became a mentor, father figure and friend to the then<br />
“young, shy quiet boy”.<br />
This is your chance to listen to Kevin Barry and ask questions of IBF World<br />
Heavyweight Mandatory Challenger Joseph Parker. Fresh off his gruelling 12 round win<br />
against Frenchman Carlos Takam, Parker is coming to Christchurch to fight Australian<br />
Solomon Haumono in preparation for his IBF World Title fight and in doing so, will put<br />
his IBF Title shot on the line.<br />
Lunch includes two courses and beverages with master of ceremony Gary<br />
McCormick. Pre-lunch drinks are from 11.30am with lunch served at 12noon.<br />
