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 />

In Brief<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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

St Joseph’s School’s annual talent<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.

Mud run popular<br />

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 />

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 />

aircycles are available in pharmacies, at<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 />

HOME & HEATING<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 />

Christchurch<br />

improve your property value, produce fresh<br />

vegetables and fruit or get a job within<br />

the horticulture industry, this flexible<br />

programme can help you gain the necessary<br />

skills.<br />

skills update training institute has<br />

partnered with ara to offer an introductory<br />

‘no fees’ horticulture blended learning<br />

course which combines both classrooms<br />

guidance for each assessment.”<br />

“i am passionate about sustainable<br />

as well as teaching in the tertiary sector.<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 />
