Call for resident parking<br />
permits across city<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
FIRST HE fought for a<br />
12-month trial for contractors<br />
to have parking permits, now a<br />
city councillor wants to extend<br />
that to residents across the city<br />
as well.<br />
City councillor<br />
Jamie Gough<br />
(left) wants<br />
to introduce<br />
parking permits<br />
so residents in<br />
Christchurch<br />
can park outside<br />
their home exempt from restricted<br />
parking time constraints.<br />
“Parking restrictions are a necessary<br />
evil, to promote vehicle<br />
turnover in busy areas, but the<br />
point of them is not to punish<br />
the residents that need to park<br />
in front of their own house for<br />
longer than the restricted time<br />
period. I think there’s a better<br />
way, and it’s pretty straight-forward,”<br />
he said.<br />
The permit would overrule any<br />
parking restrictions on the street<br />
they live on.<br />
“Parking is a massive issue in<br />
the city. I’m not saying this will<br />
be the great savour but it will<br />
definitely go a long way to helping<br />
the situation,” he said.<br />
Russley resident Ken Legat said<br />
the permit was a fantastic idea<br />
PARKING WOES: Restrictions will soon be installed on Harewood Rd meaning residents will not be able to park outside of their<br />
properties longer than 120 minutes.<br />
that will start to give residents<br />
the freedom to park outside their<br />
properties.<br />
“Parking is a big problem, especially<br />
for us, with the inclusion<br />
of the Airport Business Park and<br />
its employees needing a space to<br />
park near their work,” he said.<br />
Special introductory offer<br />
Cr Gough said it is a bit of a<br />
“pet project” of his but it will<br />
take a while to get off the ground<br />
because of the work required by<br />
city council traffic staff and the<br />
upcoming election.<br />
The permits would be similar<br />
to the contractor parking<br />
permits he campaigned for on<br />
behalf of a Holmwood Rd resident,<br />
which allows contractors to<br />
park exempt from restrictions in<br />
suburban streets.<br />
That idea is a month into a trial.<br />
Cr Gough and fellow councillor<br />
Raf Manji have asked city<br />

Library construction under way<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
GROUND HAS been broken<br />
and construction has begun on<br />
the new Bishopdale Community<br />
Centre and Library.<br />
Residents and members of the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi Community<br />
Board gathered yesterday to<br />
watch the first sod being turned<br />
on the project.<br />
The Bishopdale Library was<br />
closed in November 2011 following<br />
a report that showed it<br />
would sustain severe damage in<br />
another earthquake.<br />
The new facility will be built<br />
on the on the site of the former<br />
Bishopdale Creche in Bishopdale<br />
Mall which is adjacent to the old<br />
library.<br />
It will have a combined library<br />
and community hall joined by<br />
an atrium.<br />
The library includes a 330 sq m<br />
collection space and can also<br />
open out to a deck.<br />
The adjacent meeting spaces<br />
can be booked by community<br />
groups, and will also be available<br />
after hours when the library is<br />
closed.<br />
Board chairwoman Val Carter<br />
said the old centre was extremely<br />
well used and the new one will<br />
be as well.<br />
“There are so many community<br />
groups around Bishopdale<br />
that will be very excited for this<br />
space to open,” she said.<br />
City councillor Jamie Gough<br />

said the community was adamant<br />
they needed the facility,<br />
something he and fellow councillor<br />
Raf Mangi fought for as<br />
well as the whole board.<br />
“We really dug our toes in<br />
over this one. We said the community<br />
needs it and it has to<br />
happen,” he said.<br />
It is expected to open in mid-<br />
2017.<br />

In Brief<br />
POLICE ACTION WANTED<br />
Police monitoring is being called<br />
for on Veitches Rd, Casebrook,<br />
after city council staff investigated<br />
vehicle speeds recently. The<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board has had recommendation<br />
to it that a heavier police presence<br />
is needed in the area. Residents<br />
asked the board in February to<br />
investigate the speed of vehicles.<br />
City council traffic staff put<br />
counters on the road between<br />
May 11-19. There were 3714<br />
vehicles per day and found that a<br />
number of vehicles were travelling<br />
over 60km/h in the 50km/h zone.<br />
EXERCISE FUNDRAISER<br />
PT in the Park will be fundraising<br />
for SPCA Canterbury at 9am on<br />
Saturday. The exercise session will<br />
have a $5 entry fee, which goes to<br />
the SPCA. There will also be spot<br />
prizes. The event will cater for a<br />
range of fitness levels and ages.<br />
Go along to the corner of Carlton<br />
Mill Rd and North Hagley Park.<br />
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT<br />
The city council would like<br />
feedback on designs for<br />
playground equipment beside<br />
the community hall in Abberley<br />
Park. Construction is due to begin<br />
in 2017. To make a comment go<br />

Massive water bypass<br />
will prevent flooding<br />
CONTRACTORS working on a<br />
scheme to reduce flooding in the<br />
Dudley Creek area will install<br />
giant box-shaped concrete pipes<br />
to divert water from the creek<br />
to the Avon River during heavy<br />
rain.<br />
The pre-cast, concrete pipes<br />
are 4m wide x 2m deep, and will<br />
be laid end-to-end to form an<br />
800m long underground bypass.<br />
Nearly 500 sections of pipe,<br />
each weighing four to five<br />
tonnes, will be needed to create<br />
the bypass, which is part of<br />
a $48m remediation scheme<br />
aimed at reducing the risk of<br />
Dudley Creek flooding.<br />
When completed in mid-2017,<br />
the scheme will decrease the risk<br />
of flooding for more than 585<br />
properties.<br />
The piped bypass will run<br />
south of Petrie St and east along<br />
Randall and Medway Sts to the<br />
Avon River.<br />
Contracting company<br />
Downer will begin excavating<br />
the ground and laying the first<br />
sections of pipes in the next couple<br />
of weeks.<br />
They will be working from<br />
both ends of the bypass route in<br />
BIG PIPE: City council land drainage manger Keith Davison<br />
stands inside one of the pieces that will be used to futureproof<br />
the Dudley Creek area.<br />
order to progress construction<br />
as quickly as possible.<br />
The goal is to have the bypass<br />
completed by the start of next<br />
winter.<br />
City council land drainage<br />
manager Keith Davison said,<br />
when completed, the piped bypass<br />
would be one of the biggest<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
It would be dry most of the<br />
time as it was only designed to<br />
be used in heavy rainfall events<br />
when there was a risk of Dudley<br />
Creek overflowing.<br />
In those circumstances, it<br />
would divert water from the<br />
creek to the Avon River.<br />
Its size meant it would have<br />
the capacity to handle over 8 cu<br />
m of flood water every second.<br />
“The bypass is a key component<br />
of the land drainage work<br />
we are doing in the Dudley<br />
Creek area and will significantly<br />
lessen the risk of flooding for<br />
nearby properties,’’ Mr Davison<br />
said.<br />
FLAME FILES<br />
Don’t be dumb<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
A COUPLE of big fires featured<br />
in the city this week including<br />
the widely reported event in the<br />
Sol Square building that was<br />
demolished last weekend after<br />
fire damage completed the work<br />
that an earthquake started five<br />
years ago.<br />
This fire (right) is the latest<br />
example of the fact that if buildings<br />
are left empty for years the<br />
potential for them to be set on<br />
fire increases every week.<br />
Particularly those buildings<br />
that can be accessed easily and<br />
furtively.<br />
The incident involved seven<br />
fire appliances and a command<br />
unit and tied up resources for 14<br />
hours.<br />
The other large fire was the destruction<br />
of a 100-year-old house<br />
in Clifton Bay that occurred in<br />
the early hours of last Sunday.<br />
Inquiries as to its cause are<br />
continuing but this was another<br />
house empty with earthquake<br />
damage.<br />
It was the largest fire the Sumner<br />
Brigade has been faced with<br />
for some time.<br />
Also over the week were four<br />
incidents where people were<br />
hurt, generally trying to control<br />
a fire, failing and burning themselves<br />
in the process or swallowing<br />
enough smoke to make them<br />
sick.<br />
A young man was burnt at a<br />
party bonfire near the university<br />
early on Saturday evening.<br />
He was taken to hospital and<br />
the fire was put out.<br />
Only to be lit again after the<br />
crew departed.<br />
Two things.<br />
Alcohol and fire don’t mix<br />
well.<br />
And re-lighting a fire after fire<br />
crews have gone is dumb and<br />
irresponsible.<br />
Which takes us back to the<br />
first thing doesn’t it?<br />

Blessing for St Barnabas<br />
Quake repairs<br />
under way<br />
A SITE blessing ceremony<br />
was held recently to get repairs<br />
under way on the historic St<br />
Barnabas Anglican Church.<br />
About 200 people gathered<br />
for the ceremony where Bishop<br />
Victoria Matthews sprinkled<br />
holy water around the site<br />
and inside the church, and<br />
blessed it.<br />
The Fendalton Rd church was<br />
badly damaged in the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake, and<br />
services have had to be held in<br />
the hall since.<br />
C Lund and Son will carry out<br />
the work to the Fendalton Rd<br />
church, which includes repairing<br />
stonework, strengthening the<br />
roof connections and corners<br />
of the building, and injecting<br />
specialist grout into the core<br />
of all the walls to increase the<br />
strength and resilience of the<br />
building.<br />
The work would bring the<br />
church up to at least 67 per cent<br />
of the New Building Standard,<br />
to make it safe and secure.<br />
The category 1 heritage<br />
REPAIRS BEGIN: (Left to right) – Vicar of Fendalton Reverend Mark Chamberlain, vicar’s<br />
warden Don Mackenzie, Bishop of Christchurch Victoria Matthews, St Barnabas Fendalton<br />
Trust chairman Steve Wakefield, Christchurch Central MP Nicky Wagner and St Barnabas<br />
Fendalton Trust member Corinne Haines all attended an onsite blessing at the church. <br />
church was originally built as<br />
a memorial church honouring<br />
those who died in World War 1.<br />
Central Christchurch MP<br />
Nicky Wagner, city councillor<br />
Raf Manji, Church Property<br />
Trustee member Steve Wakefield<br />
and Rev Mark Chamberlain<br />
spoke at the ceremony.<br />
A further $400,000 needs<br />
to be raised to meet the $1.6m<br />
target.<br />

Church takes<br />
in another<br />
congregation<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A CHURCH in north-west<br />
church is helping another out<br />
during its time of need.<br />
The Christchurch North Methodist<br />
Church has taken<br />
on community groups and the<br />
local congregation from<br />
Bishopdale’s St Margaret’s<br />
Presbyterian Church which was<br />
gutted by an alleged arsonist on<br />
May 15.<br />
Parish chairman Richard<br />
Chalkler said it was the least they<br />
could do.<br />
They are in a time of need so we<br />
want to help out as much as we<br />
can,” he said.<br />
“We have so many people using<br />
the space now that it is hard to<br />
book time in our own church,<br />
which is a good thing.”<br />
The Chapel St church was rebuilt<br />
after the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
It’s new building was recently<br />
awarded an excellence grade<br />

Our People<br />
Putting our anti-nuclear stand<br />
Dr Kate Dewes has been fighting to keep New Zealand<br />
nuclear-free since her early 20s. She spoke to reporter<br />
Caitlin Miles about receiving threats for her work, sharing<br />
a memorable moment with the United Nations secretary<br />
general in 2011 and her plans to spend more time with<br />
her family<br />
Now that New Zealand has been<br />
nuclear free for nearly 30 years,<br />
can you tell me why you became<br />
involved in nuclear disarmament<br />
work?<br />
It goes back to 1975. I was a<br />
23-year-old music teacher at Epsom<br />
Girls Grammar, and at the time I<br />
was about to teach the girls a piece<br />
of music dedicated to the survivors<br />
of the atomic bomb that was<br />
dropped on Hiroshima. I wanted to<br />
learn who the victims were and what<br />
happened to them and the aftermath<br />
of it. I was horrified. I decided<br />
I wanted to go back to university<br />
and learn about peace studies and<br />
nuclear disarmament.<br />
Is that when you decided to<br />
study in England?<br />
No university in New Zealand was<br />
offering a course in peace studies. So<br />
I had to leave the country to be able<br />
to do it. I went to Bradford University<br />
to learn more about peace<br />
talks, disarmament and what was<br />
happening around the world. I lived<br />
in Bradford while I studied and then<br />
came back here.<br />
Why did you decide to come<br />
back to Christchurch?<br />
Well, I had to. And I was pregnant<br />
with my first daughter so I wanted<br />
to settle back here. I also wanted to<br />
be able to keep working on disarmament<br />
and promoting peace talks<br />
within Christchurch and the rest of<br />
New Zealand. In 1979, I had my first<br />
daughter and became a founding<br />
member of the Peace Foundation.<br />
I ran the Christchurch office from<br />
home. I still do.<br />
How was it balancing motherhood<br />
and work?<br />
It was tough. I have three<br />
daughters and I was a solo mum so<br />
there was a lot to do. It was really a<br />
balancing act. I never had hired help<br />
to look after my girls that was part<br />
of my job. There were other woman<br />
involved in the Peace Foundation<br />
so we would take turns baby sitting<br />
each others kids when we needed<br />
to do things. I slowed down a bit<br />
after the earthquakes, though. It was<br />
more a case that I had to.<br />
Why was that?<br />
Our house in Riccarton was<br />
damaged following the September<br />
4, 2010, earthquake and all of my<br />
work and the paper I had written on<br />
nuclear disarmament, and my PhD<br />
on peace issues, had to be put into<br />
storage so they could be kept safe. It<br />
MEMORABLE: Following the February 22, 2011, earthquake, UN<br />
secretary general Ban Ki-moon told Dr Dewes that the people<br />
of Christchurch had his support.<br />
turned out to be about 120 banana<br />
boxes of work. Funnily, they were<br />
stored in the Air Force Museum<br />
here in Christchurch.<br />
You got some abuse for what you<br />
were doing, can you tell me a bit<br />
about that?<br />
There were some people that were<br />
against what we were doing. It was<br />
the height of the cold war and we<br />
wanted to educate people as to what<br />
was going on. I was getting threatening<br />
phone calls about being attacked<br />
and some people even came to my<br />
home. I remember a photo was<br />
taken of me in the paper with one<br />
of my daughters sitting on my lap<br />
and someone said to me, ‘how dare<br />
you travel and work internationally<br />
when you have a family!’ I just<br />
laugh about it. There was a group<br />
that was against our idea of encouraging<br />
schools to teach children<br />
about peace settlements and things.<br />
Someone from the group against<br />
what we were doing spoke at a concerned<br />
parents’ association meeting<br />
in Hamilton. That’s where I am from<br />
and my parents were in the audience.<br />
During the person’s speech,<br />
he called me a communist, not that<br />
there was anything wrong with that,<br />
but at the time that was a rather<br />
weighted word. My parents were in<br />
the audience, and my dad stood up<br />
and said that I was his daughter and<br />
he defended me. That was a really<br />
big thing to do.<br />
Were there many low points?<br />
It was hard travelling internationally<br />
and being a solo mum, but I did<br />
it. When I wasn’t overseas, I worked<br />
from home so I could manage.<br />
What do you think are your really<br />
big personal achievements?<br />
Being a mother of three daughters<br />
is a big personal achievement.<br />
Getting my PhD was another one.<br />
I was working, being a parent and<br />
doing my PhD, so I’m really proud<br />
of that.<br />

on the world stage<br />
POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT: Former Prime Minister David<br />
Lange spoke to Dr Dewes about making New Zealand<br />
nuclear-free and not allowing nuclear weapons to enter the<br />
country.<br />
What about moments when you<br />
have had to pinch yourself?<br />
There were a few pinch yourself<br />
moments with all the people I have<br />
met and things we have managed<br />
to achieve. I was in the United<br />
States when I got the news that the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake hit.<br />
I thought about the house; it didn’t<br />
do well in the September-quake so<br />
I was worried it would be gone completely.<br />
I got all set to head back to<br />
Christchurch and I called one of my<br />
daughters and she said, ‘no mum<br />
stay there, you have some important<br />
things to do, you need to stay and<br />
do it’. So I did. In the morning, I saw<br />
pictures the New York Times had<br />
of the Cathedral and then I had to<br />
go and speak at the UN. We were<br />
standing around before the discussion<br />
started and someone must have<br />
told the UN secretary general where<br />
I was from and he came up to me<br />
and shook my hand and said, ‘please<br />
tell the people of Christchurch they<br />
have my support’. Then he told the<br />
whole audience at the UN where I<br />
was from and what had happened to<br />
my city. I couldn’t speak for several<br />
moments. I saw what had happened<br />
at home as an opportunity to get my<br />
point across.<br />
What was the point you were<br />
making?<br />
If we had a nuclear power centre<br />
in Christchurch, the effect would<br />
have been devastating. Especially if<br />
a tsunami had come through. The<br />
rest of the country would have been<br />
in a really horrible situation. The<br />
Japanese ambassador challenged me<br />
on what I said. I had no idea several<br />
weeks later I would be writing him<br />
letters of support for what had happened<br />
following the earthquake that<br />
hit Japan.<br />
How did you meet your second<br />
husband?<br />
I was in Geneva for work in 1992<br />
and Robert Green was at the same<br />
convention about peace talks and<br />
nuclear development. Robert was<br />
the chair of the United Kingdom<br />
branch of the World Court Project<br />
so I gradually got to know him. I<br />
had to convince him to come to<br />
New Zealand, as the Government<br />
were looking at changing a clause to<br />
the nuclear legislation, so I needed<br />
to convince him to come to New<br />
Zealand to speak and make sure<br />
they didn’t change the legislation.<br />
When he was in the navy, he carried<br />
nuclear bombs so he knows what<br />
he’s talking about and I wanted to<br />
get him to share his information<br />
with New Zealand. Soon I had<br />
people sending me money to help<br />
get him to New Zealand.<br />
What do you think of Helen<br />
Clark running for secretary general?<br />
AT WORK: Dr Dewes marks<br />
on a map the areas that<br />
support a nuclear-free New<br />
Zealand.<br />
I think go Helen. I watched the<br />
debate she was in recently and<br />
thought she did really well. She has<br />
the knowledge and experience for<br />
the job and I think she would do<br />
really well at it.<br />
What are you setting your sights<br />
on for the future?<br />
Robert and I are trying to wind<br />
down a bit now, that’s easier said<br />
than done though. I would really<br />
like to be able to spend more time<br />
with my four grand-children, too.<br />
Christ’s students<br />
have money<br />
on their mind<br />
CHRIST’S COLLEGE is among<br />
six schools to make it through to<br />
the finals of a national monetary<br />
challenge.<br />
The team will compete in the<br />
final of the Reserve Bank’s 15th<br />
Monetary Policy Challenge in<br />
Wellington on Thursday.<br />
The challenge is designed to increase<br />
students’ understanding of<br />
monetary policy by asking them<br />
to assess economic conditions<br />
and make a prediction for the Official<br />
Cash Rate decision.<br />
Christ’s will compete against<br />
Auckland’s Macleans College,<br />
Auckland Grammar School and<br />
King’s College, as well as Waikato<br />
Diocesan School for Girls and<br />
Scots College, Wellington, in the<br />
final.<br />
Each team will have to make an<br />
oral presentation in the final.<br />
The winning team will receive<br />
$2500 for their school and each<br />
student in the winning team will<br />
also receive prizes worth $500.<br />
They would also be invited<br />
back to the Reserve Bank on<br />
August 11 to attend the Monetary<br />
Policy Statement media conference,<br />
meet the Reserve Bank governor<br />
Graeme Wheeler and to see<br />
aspects of the financial markets.<br />
Auckland’s King’s College took<br />
out last year’s challenge.<br />
Final countdown for SCIRT programme<br />
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls<br />
is now 92% complete and will finish in December.<br />
Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s underground<br />
pipe networks.<br />
SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip between<br />
Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing their important job<br />
below ground.<br />
Progress in your neighbourhood<br />
• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running<br />
through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and will be<br />
completed at the end of the year.<br />
• Essential wastewater repairs at the western end of Aikmans Road in Merivale have<br />
begun and will be completed in the next month.<br />
• Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and<br />
Bryndwr are due to finish in September this year.<br />
• Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the SCIRT team.<br />

Injuries fail to stand in model’s path<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
A NEAR miss from being<br />
paralysed has encouraged<br />
a Papanui High School<br />
student to make most of<br />
her opportunities and try<br />
her hand in the modelling<br />
scene.<br />
Michaelee-Jayne McDonald,<br />
16, won the Portfolio<br />
Model Search <strong>2016</strong> out of 80<br />
entries.<br />
Each contestant sent in a<br />
photo of themselves from<br />
Facebook or Instagram.<br />
The winner was selected by<br />
a panel of judges from the<br />
Portfolio Model Agency.<br />
Michaelee-Jayne, who had<br />
always been interested in<br />
modelling, said she tried out<br />
for the competition because<br />
she wanted to make the<br />
most of her opportunities.<br />
The keen surfer’s perspective<br />
on life completely<br />
changed last year after an<br />
accident nearly left her<br />
paralysed.<br />
“I was at Sumner and I<br />
was surfing up to the beach<br />
to get a drink and I forgot I<br />
was about 30cm deep and<br />
I dived off my board headfirst,”<br />
she said.<br />
The accident caused her to<br />
break her jaw, nose and have<br />
about 80 internal stitches.<br />
She said the doctors had<br />
told her she was lucky not to<br />
be paralysed. The accident<br />
had opened up her mind to<br />
getting the most out of life.<br />
But in spite of the scare,<br />
Michaelee-Jayne still enjoys<br />
surfing when she can and<br />
hopes to edge her way into<br />
surf and general sports’<br />
modelling.<br />
Not only does Michaelee-<br />
Jayne surf, she plays competitive<br />
touch rugby and<br />
netball for her school.<br />
On top of her sports<br />
development, she is taking<br />
all science options at school<br />
in the hope of becoming an<br />
anaesthetist or mechanical<br />
civil engineer.<br />
The modelling competition<br />
was for aspiring models<br />
aged between 14-21.<br />
Michaelee-Jayne, along<br />
with several other finalists,<br />
were awarded a contract<br />
with the city’s premier modelling<br />
agency.<br />
Agency director Mel<br />
Radford Brown said the<br />
standard was high and<br />
the agency was glad to<br />
have met the nine finalists<br />
for the competition last<br />
week.<br />
Mrs Radford Brown described<br />
Michaelee-Jayne as a<br />
stunning natural beauty.<br />
“She just stuck out a mile<br />
away and I think the public<br />
will really love her, too,” she<br />
said.<br />
While Michaelee-Jayne is<br />
new to the modelling scene,<br />
she said she is a confident<br />
person, enjoys having her<br />
photo taken and is keen to<br />
learn more.<br />
She said to anyone else<br />
wanting to try modelling to<br />
give it a go.<br />
“Don’t hold yourself<br />
back, as cliche as it sounds<br />
. . . don’t worry about what<br />
other people think,” she<br />
said.<br />
HEALED: After a<br />
surfing accident<br />
which nearly left<br />
near paralysed,<br />
Michaelee-Jayne<br />
McDonald has fully<br />
recovered and has<br />
been scouted by<br />
the Portfolio Model<br />
Agency.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JULY <strong>2016</strong><br />
February <strong>2016</strong><br />
earthquake<br />
response<br />
With each natural disaster, EQC has increasingly listened<br />
to customer feedback to improve how it works, says<br />
EQC February <strong>2016</strong> Event Manager, Jayne Lapin.<br />
“For the February <strong>2016</strong> earthquakes we are emailing a<br />
survey to customers to complete two weeks after their claim<br />
resolution to gauge potential areas for improvement.<br />
To date, most customers have said their experience of the<br />
new EQC process was positive or very positive,” she said.<br />
EQC has taken a different approach to finalising the 13,985<br />
claims lodged by customers following the Canterbury<br />
earthquakes of 14 and 29 February, <strong>2016</strong>, and the<br />
aftershocks through March and June. To date EQC has paid<br />
over $7.8 million to customers for damage claims.<br />
EQC is reverting back to cash settlements as there is no<br />
managed repair programme. EQC aims to complete<br />
assessments for these events sooner, where possible,<br />
using a claims management approach that EQC customers<br />
helped design. EQC aims to resolve all claims for these<br />
<strong>2016</strong> Christchurch events by the end of December.<br />
“One way to achieve this is by phoning customers to get all<br />
the relevant information up front, before conducting<br />
assessment. For many claims, damage assessment is done<br />
over the phone. At its heart is the drive to make EQC easier<br />
to do business with,” Miss Lapin says.<br />
This differed from the 2010/2011 Canterbury claims, largely<br />
because earthquake damage incurred in <strong>2016</strong> quakes was<br />
minor. Customer payments are averaging $1,000 to $5,000<br />
per claim. Only two claims were up to $50,000, and no<br />
claims to date have gone over the EQC cap.<br />
Seismic monitoring on Mt Ruapehu<br />
Marking<br />
GeoNet’s 15th<br />
birthday<br />
A message from Dr Hugh Cowan,<br />
General Manager Reinsurance,<br />
Research and Education<br />
This month, GeoNet is celebrating its<br />
15th anniversary. Most Cantabrians will be<br />
familiar with the GeoNet app which provides<br />
instant information about quakes and<br />
volcanic activity.<br />
GeoNet uses a network of over 600 sensors<br />
across New Zealand to detect, analyse and<br />
respond to earthquakes, volcanic activity<br />
and other geological hazards. It was<br />
established in 2001 as a collaboration<br />
between EQC as investor and GNS as<br />
technical manager.<br />
Over the years, GeoNet has been recognised<br />
internationally as at the leading edge of<br />
natural hazards monitoring, which is a<br />
significant bonus for New Zealand given the<br />
dynamic nature of our region.<br />
Canterbury’s proximity to the Alpine Fault<br />
means that it has a large number of sensors.<br />
The start of the Canterbury earthquake<br />
sequence triggered further expansion of this<br />
network, ultimately making the February<br />
2011 earthquake one of the most<br />
comprehensively recorded earthquakes in<br />
urban history.<br />
The quantity of GeoNet data has delivered<br />
significant benefits for Canterbury, not least<br />
in enabling decisions relating to building<br />
reconstruction, engineering, the behaviour<br />
of the land, and reinsurance to be informed<br />
by science.<br />
Such a wide range of applications in<br />
Canterbury exemplifies the benefits of EQC’s<br />
investment which requires GeoNet to make its<br />
data publicly and freely available. GeoNet’s<br />
growing and diverse community of users<br />
extends well beyond EQC and GNS. Land<br />
surveyors, airline pilots, power and water<br />
companies and local government all use<br />
GeoNet data in different ways.<br />
EQC is proud to have maintained such a<br />
long-term and successful partnership with<br />
GNS, providing GeoNet with around $12m<br />
a year. Late last year, we committed funding<br />
through to 2021 as part of our research and<br />
education programme.<br />
EQC awarded<br />
costs from<br />
Action Group<br />
The Earthquake Commission welcomes<br />
the High Court’s recent costs decision<br />
which orders the EQC Action Group to pay<br />
costs of $4,237 to EQC.<br />
The costs decision was issued following the<br />
discontinuation of the Action Group’s<br />
declaratory judgment application. The Action<br />
Group sought a series of declarations in<br />
relation to the obligations of the Commission<br />
under the EQC Act.<br />
Chief Executive Ian Simpson says the costs<br />
decision reaffirms EQC’s position that<br />
litigation was an unnecessary way to address<br />
the specific issues concerning the Action<br />
Group members’ claims.<br />
Mr Simpson says that EQC remains completely<br />
focussed on settling outstanding claims in<br />
Canterbury including those of EQC Action<br />
Group members. “Any customer can request a<br />
review of their individual claim if they believe<br />
EQC has missed earthquake damage<br />
sustained to their home, if they don’t agree<br />
with the proposed repair strategy, or if they<br />
believe the settlement amount is incorrect.<br />
The process for this is detailed on our website<br />
and EQC continues to work with our<br />
customers so they receive what they are<br />
entitled to and have their claims resolved.”<br />
Customers wanting to have their claim<br />
reviewed can call 0800 3<strong>26</strong> 243 (0800<br />
DAMAGE) or email info@eqc.govt.nz or visit<br />
www.eqc.govt.nz/about-eqc/makecomplaint.<br />
In such situations you should<br />
provide us with details supporting your<br />
request for a claim review, together with any<br />
information you have obtained in support of<br />
your request.<br />

Big win for Boys’ High<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />
School had a bonus-point win<br />
after crushing Rangiora High<br />
School in the 13th round of the<br />
UC Championship.<br />
On Saturday, Christchurch<br />
BHS made light work of<br />
Rangiora, piling on the points<br />
in a one-sided 83-13 win. The<br />
team also handed Bob Letiu<br />
and Sam Caldwell first XV<br />
debuts.<br />
This puts Christchurch BHS<br />
just two points behind competition<br />
front runner’s, Christ’s<br />
College.<br />
Christ’s were impressive<br />
against third-place Shirley Boys’<br />
High School, running in five<br />
tries to topple last year’s grandfinalists<br />
33-10.<br />
While the race for top spot<br />
between Christ’s and Christchurch<br />
BHS is one to watch, the<br />
battle for the final two play-off<br />
spots is wide open between<br />
eight teams.<br />
Just four competition points<br />
separate third from 10th position,<br />
with two rounds remaining.<br />
St Andrew’s College and St<br />
Bede’s College are both looking<br />
to finish in the top four. They<br />
both won on the weekend.<br />

will have to get the job done<br />
on the road, when they travel<br />
to Burnside High School and<br />
Marlborough Boys’ College to<br />
finish the round-robin.<br />
St Andrew’s moved closer to<br />
the top four with a 51-15 win<br />
over bottom of the table Roncalli<br />

The run into the play-offs<br />
couldn’t be more difficult for<br />

AUTO CENTRE PAPANUI<br />
Papanui business a<br />
beacon for motorists<br />
The bright yellow building in Bellvue avenue, papanui, just around the<br />
corner from papanui road has been a welcoming beacon for motorists<br />
since 1997.<br />
66 Bellvue Avenue, Papanui<br />
Phone 03 352 0083<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
Now operatiNg as aa auto Centre<br />
papanui, the business began life in 1997<br />
in the capable hands of owner Colin<br />
Downes and his wife Linda as Bellvue<br />
tyres and incorporating the aa Lube<br />
franchise.<br />
“The business grew from there,”<br />
says Colin, who has now racked up an<br />
impressive 45 years in the industry. This<br />
has included running a workshop for<br />
20 years and managing an aa Service<br />
Centre.<br />
The aa auto Centre papanui workshop’s<br />
two qualified technicians, Max and Brent,<br />
and the apprentice Mathew, provide the<br />
full spectrum of mechanical repairs and<br />
servicing. This includes all mechanical<br />
work, some diagnostic work, suspension<br />
work, cam belt replacement, brake checks<br />
and repairs, lubes, aa batteries, antifreeze<br />
testing and woF.<br />
Free written quotes are provided if<br />
required, and courtesy cars are available<br />
so customers can carry on with their daily<br />
life while their vehicle is in the workshop.<br />
Bellvue tyres still operates from the<br />
site. Specialising in the highly regarded<br />
HanKook tyres, they cater for all tyre<br />
needs including high performance and<br />
4wD, and tyre repairs.<br />
“we are a one-stop shop for all<br />
motoring needs,” says Colin. “we have<br />
built up a business and a loyal customer<br />
base because we believe in looking after<br />
the customer, and in doing it once and<br />
doing it right. That’s the most important<br />
thing because today’s cars are expensive<br />
to repair.<br />
“our technicians are also long-standing.<br />
Max has been with us for 17 years, Brent<br />
11 years and Mathew four and a half<br />
years. our office administrator Vicky has<br />
been with us for six and a half years too,<br />
so they all know our customers well and<br />
the customers know them.”<br />
aa auto Service and repairs is a family<br />
business too, with Colin’s daughter andrea<br />
having worked on the administration side<br />
for 17 years. Now having decided to step<br />
back and enjoy semi-retirement, Colin<br />
is passing some of the responsibility for<br />
running the business on to andrea, who<br />
will play her role in keeping this successful<br />
operation running smoothly.<br />
Colin Downes and daughter Andrea keep it in the family.<br />
• AA Auto Papanui can handle any of your car’s tyres, WOF or<br />
servicing needs<br />

PAPANUI HIGH SCHOOL<br />
NEWSLETTER<br />
Greetings, Tena Koutou Katoa,<br />
We are now moving into the second half of the year, and<br />
our students have been doing incredibly well. We have<br />
much to celebrate and to be proud of. This newsletter will<br />
give you a glimpse of what has been taking place, and<br />
showcase a few of our many successes.<br />
Firstly I would like to acknowledge two key events that<br />
took place last term:<br />
Open Night - In May the school held its annual Open<br />
Night. We are very grateful that approximately 1200<br />
people from our wider community took the opportunity to<br />
visit our school, to speak to people, to see the quality of<br />
our resources available, and to see what makes Papanui<br />
High School such a wonderful place for students to learn.<br />
80 student guides and over 250 student helpers in subject<br />
areas, along with the staff, supported the evening. We<br />
received exceptionally complimentary feedback, with<br />
particular reference to the student input on the evening. I<br />
will be looking forward to welcoming all new students and<br />
their families/ whānau to our school next year.<br />
Conference Day - I would like to sincerely thank our<br />
parents, whānau, and caregivers for supporting the<br />
annual Academic Counselling Conference Day. With<br />
just over 90% attendance, the day was an outstanding<br />
success. Having an opportunity to discuss students’<br />
academic progress, and identifying the steps that can<br />
be taken to support and improve their achievement, is<br />
critical to their ongoing success. The Conference Day is<br />
one distinct opportunity when all three parties can actively<br />
work together to share a common goal. Over the last four<br />
years, student achievement has steadily increased. As a<br />
school we are committed to the continuation of this trend.<br />
Our goal is to ensure all students have the opportunity<br />
to achieve to the best of their ability, and ultimately gain<br />
qualifications that underpin their transition to further study<br />
or employment.<br />
Our area of Christchurch is a vibrant and growing one.<br />
Our aim is to be the focal point of education here, and<br />
we are increasingly becoming a school of first choice.<br />
We believe this is supported by giving students the<br />
opportunity to study from an innovative and broad<br />
curriculum that meets their individual needs. We allow for<br />
a greater range and flexibility in subject choice including<br />
the utilization of the secondary/tertiary interface. This<br />
reinforces the philosophy underpinning personalised<br />
learning, and is strongly supported by understanding our<br />
students’ interests, passions, talents, and ultimately, their<br />
career aspirations.<br />
The school highly values the connectedness of curricular<br />
and co-curricular learning. We have a philosophical<br />
understanding that the holistic development of the student<br />
is critical to their individual success. All that we do here<br />
is reinforced by positive relationships, an ethos of caring,<br />
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations<br />
– what we call “Our Full Service Model”.<br />
We understand that for effective learning to take place,<br />
it has to be implemented in such a way that students will<br />
be highly engaged. The school does this in a ‘forward<br />
thinking’ way by creating learning environments that<br />
allow our students to see value in what they do and<br />
achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent and we<br />
demonstrate this by having young adults leave our school<br />
as confident learners who have gained the appropriate<br />
qualifications and social skills to become valued<br />
contributing members of society.<br />
We invite you to view our website, school charter, ERO<br />
report, and/or contact the school for more information at<br />
any time.<br />

Principal<br />
SENIOR FORMAL<br />
The Papanui High School<br />
Senior Formal was held<br />
on Friday <strong>July</strong> 1, at the<br />
Foundry, University of<br />
Canterbury. Approximately<br />
430 students and 70 staff<br />
attended, sharing in a<br />
wonderful sense of occasion.<br />
The theme of an ‘Autumn Dream’ was realised through the hard<br />
work of a 20 student formal committee led by Year 13 students<br />
Johanna Adams and Maddy Colombus and presented in the form<br />
of hundreds of fairy lights and woodland inspired decorations.<br />
STAGE CHALLENGE SUCCESS<br />
117 students were involved in<br />
this year’s Stage Challenge at<br />
the Horncastle Arena, where<br />
our students competed against<br />
14 other schools. Papanui’s<br />
powerful performance about<br />
recycling mobile phones to<br />
prevent the decline of mountain<br />
gorillas (Blood in our Hands),<br />
was outstanding. It thrilled the audience and wowed the judges<br />
earning them six Excellence Awards out of the nine categories,<br />
and gaining second place overall. Congratulations to the staff<br />
and students involved, for all their hard work and outstanding<br />
achievement.<br />
EMERGING LEADERS CONFERENCE<br />
At the end of term we had the opportunity to take 15 of our Year 12<br />
leadership team to the annual Christ’s College Emerging Leaders<br />
Conference. The conference challenges students to put themselves<br />
forward to consider what part they would play in the community,<br />
and what skills and attributes are required for this engagement to<br />
be worthwhile and successful. Students participated in a variety of<br />
workshops<br />
run by a range of<br />
local, national,<br />
and international<br />
leaders. They were<br />
also fortunate to<br />
hear from James<br />
Castrission and<br />
Justin Jones, who<br />
are two Australian<br />
explorers who<br />
constantly push<br />
the boundaries<br />
of human<br />
endurance<br />
CENTRAL OTAGO MUSIC TOUR<br />
Approximately 45 Music<br />
students (members of the<br />
Concert Band, Jazz Band, Jazz<br />
Ensemble), and staff, took part<br />
in the Central Otago Music<br />
Tour from 4th – 7th <strong>July</strong>. They<br />
performed at Mountain View<br />

Book now to have<br />
new dentures<br />
for Christmas<br />
While it may seem too early to start<br />
thinking about Christmas, anyone looking<br />
at getting new dentures fitted before the<br />
holiday season starts needs to book in<br />
now, says Ryan Carlton of Dentures Plus<br />
in innes Road.<br />
Appointments are filling up over the<br />
next few weeks, and as the process takes<br />
several appointments over a few months<br />
to complete, people are advised to get in<br />
touch as soon as possible to ensure their<br />
dentures are settled in by Christmas, Ryan<br />
advises.<br />
Patients can approach Dentures Plus<br />
directly, who will either recommend a<br />
dentist for teeth extraction or contact<br />
the patient’s own dentist. The dentures<br />
are made up before the dentist extracts<br />
the teeth, as this helps the mouth heal<br />
faster. The professional approach taken by<br />
Ryan and his staff ensures that the whole<br />
process of having dentures fitted goes as<br />
smoothly as possible.<br />
Ryan also advises that people with<br />
existing dentures should have them<br />
checked every two to three years to make<br />
sure they are not starting to wear, which<br />
could cause discomfort in the future. This<br />
may not be noticeable to the wearer, Ryan<br />
says, but a free, no-obligation check-up<br />
will determine if the dentures need some<br />
attention, or even replacing.<br />
The team at Dentures Plus specialise<br />
in all aspects of denture work – from<br />
making and fitting for first-time wearers,<br />
relining, which is done after the first few<br />
months to make sure the new dentures<br />
are fitting correctly, through to providing<br />
dentures that clip on to implants, and full<br />
replacement dentures.<br />
They provide full follow-up care to<br />
patients and also supply a range of<br />
products for denture care. These include<br />
denture cleaners, brushes and denture<br />
baths for soaking the dentures. Ryan<br />
recommends Caldent denture cleaner, as<br />
it is non-abrasive and effectively removes<br />
stains, calculus and plaque.<br />
Dentures Plus, 396 innes Road, is<br />
open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm<br />
and Friday 8am-2pm. to make an<br />
appointment, phone 385 5517.<br />
Ryan also advises that<br />
people with existing<br />
dentures should have<br />
them checked every<br />
two to three years sure<br />
they are not starting<br />
to wear, which could<br />
cause discomfort<br />
in the future.<br />

with each family to find the best match<br />
in an educator for them…I love helping<br />
create these special relationships!”<br />

PHIL'S NEW ALBUM<br />
IS NEARLY HERE!<br />
FOLLOWING on from his debut release, Stone & Wood,<br />
Phil Doublet is set to release his second album, Endless<br />
Highway.<br />
"I can't tell you how exciting this is," exclaims Phil. "The new<br />
album is nearly here, and the preparations for the album<br />
launch marking its official release are underway."<br />
Well recognised in country music circles both here and<br />
overseas, Phil is an accomplished guitarist-vocalist who has<br />
been developing his skills for almost 3 decades in concert,<br />
studio and "just jamming around at home".<br />
He has claimed many music awards over the years with his<br />
most recent being Male Artist of the Year 2014 at the National<br />
Country Music Awards.<br />
A strong ambassador for original music, Phil is front man<br />
for the regular local event, 'Songwriters in the Round'. Taking<br />
place towards the end of each month at Alvarado's on Stevens<br />
St, each round showcases three songwriters with acoustic<br />
interpretations of their music.<br />
Phil launches his new album Endless Highway at Kaiapoi<br />
High School on Saturday 27th August<br />
along with special guests The<br />
Ranchsliders, Dani Rigby, and Lana<br />
Doublet.<br />
