AN AMBITIOUS plan to form a<br />
sports club cluster in the north-west<br />
to lobby for funding and other<br />
benefits has failed.<br />
Westminster Sports Inc started<br />
in 2006 and combined the interests<br />
of a number of sports clubs and<br />
organisations clustered around<br />
Mairehau, Marshland, Shirley,<br />
Papanui, Merivale, St Albans and<br />
Redwood with more than 2000<br />
members from eight different sports<br />
codes.<br />
Member clubs unanimously accepted<br />
the recommendation of the<br />
board to wind up the operations of<br />
the organisation at a special general<br />
meeting.<br />
Lack of funding and commitment<br />
from member clubs led to its demise,<br />
said Westminster chairman Rob<br />
Smith.<br />
The Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board had funded Westminster<br />
Sports $16,000 in 2013 and a further<br />
$16,000 in 2014 from its discretionary<br />

Mr Smith said while it’s a regrettable<br />
and difficult decision to make, this<br />
was something that had been looming<br />
for some time.<br />
“This reflects the significant<br />
challenges associated with running<br />
a viable sporting organisation in the<br />
current environment,” he said.<br />
Mr Smith said there were a number<br />
of factors that contributed to the idea<br />
not working.<br />
He said the financial position of the<br />
organisation was such that operation<br />
beyond a two to three month time<br />
frame was not viable and member<br />
clubs were not engaged to the degree<br />
necessary to ensure or create a viable<br />
business model.<br />

WELL, THE Olympics are upon<br />
us and I for one am considering<br />
doing a few early mornings of<br />
intense television watching before<br />
work. It will be a hard grind<br />
during the day, but I feel that<br />
coffee will do its job – it is only<br />
every four years we get to see this.<br />
I’ve very fond memories<br />
watching the Olympics growing<br />
up and am hoping they will keep<br />
their magic.<br />
This week we have a very<br />
special guest in the paper –<br />
Maleficent. I’m led to believe by<br />
the little people in my life that<br />
she is rather scary but also quite a<br />
cool character. Reporter Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding spoke to<br />
Tyra Adlam who portrays the<br />
character while doing charity<br />
work. Apparently children have<br />
very mixed reactions when<br />
they see her. Page 14-15 has the<br />
interview. Hei kona.<br />

Students put on a show<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
NATIONAL Academy of<br />
Singing and Dramatic Art<br />
students took to the stage<br />
recently in a bid to showcase<br />
their talent and fundraise for<br />
their next production.<br />
The third-year students raised<br />
money for special effects and<br />
costumes for their upcoming<br />
musical Ragtime, written by<br />
American’s Stephen Flaherty,<br />
Terrence McNally and Lynn<br />
Ahrens. It will open next<br />
month.<br />
They took the opportunity<br />
to preview a snippet of the<br />
upcoming production.<br />
Our Children, a song from the<br />
musical, was previewed at the<br />
concert.<br />
The production is<br />
based on the book by E.L<br />
Doctorow and covers three<br />
families pursuing the American<br />
dream.<br />
Morgan Mackenzie-Moore, of<br />
St Albans, took part in the show<br />
and will star in Ragtime next<br />
month.<br />
A variety of contemporary<br />
and musical theatre was<br />
performed at the concert, along<br />
with solos, duets, contemporary<br />
dance, tap dance, cultural and<br />
full ensemble numbers.<br />
Performances included songs<br />
from the musicals Wicked, The<br />
Full Monty and Once.<br />
Third year student Sophie<br />
Petersen said the preview<br />
concert was student-led and<br />
provided a fantastic opportunity<br />
to showcase performers from<br />
the academy.<br />

Work on Papanui cycle<br />
network to ramp up<br />
ashion<br />
WORK WILL begin the<br />
Papanui Parallel cycleway in the<br />
next two months.<br />
It is one of four key projects<br />
in the development of Christchurch’s<br />
cycleway network that will<br />
start in the next two months,<br />
adding more than 15km to the<br />
cycleway network.<br />
Gardening<br />
City council manager of transport<br />
planning and delivery Lynette<br />
Ellis said the new cycleways<br />
were exciting.<br />
“We are really creating options<br />
for people to consider alternative<br />
ways to travel. It’s the people that<br />
aren’t already on bicycles who<br />
might have been worried about<br />
safety, or put off by access, that<br />
otoring<br />
we are targeting with these networks,”<br />
she said.<br />
As well as the Papanui Parallel,<br />
construction of the Little River<br />
Link cycleway and the first stage<br />
of the Rapanui-Shag Rock cycleway<br />
will begin.<br />
They are part of 13 cycleways<br />
which will cost about $156 million<br />
to construct. They aim to<br />
asty Bites<br />
make cycling in Christchurch<br />
safer and more appealing.<br />
Route design and public consultation<br />
will get under way on the<br />
Northern Line cycleway and the<br />
NEW CYCLEWAYS: Work will begin on four more cycleways<br />
including the Papanui Parallel in the next two months. <br />
Heathcote Expressway.<br />
The city council will also<br />
work with schools and businesses<br />
to encourage them to make use<br />
of the cycleways and provide<br />
safe, secure cycle parking facilities.<br />
“We’re offering people a<br />
genuine choice that feels safer for<br />
them. I do think it will get people<br />
out of cars and onto bikes. For<br />
example, a family in Redwood<br />
might actually see cycling to<br />
Northlands mall as a viable option<br />
if there is a safe cycleway,”<br />
Ms Ellis said.<br />
“We’ve got an opportunity to<br />
change the mind-set of our next<br />
generation and they want it.<br />
One of the most powerful deputations<br />
during the Papanui Parallel<br />
process was from two Papanui<br />
High School students just saying<br />
what a difference it would make<br />
to their lives.”<br />

Papanui Parallel encourage<br />
you to cycle more? Share<br />

PARK UPGRADE<br />
An upgrade to Abberley Park<br />
to ensure equipment meets<br />
the current New Zealand<br />
playground safety standards<br />
will start next year. The<br />
upgrade will also ensure an<br />
acceptable level of community<br />
service is maintained,<br />
including accessible spaces<br />
and equipment. The<br />
playground, which sits beside<br />
Abberley Park Hall, is due for<br />
replacement as part of the city<br />
council’s playground renewal<br />
programme. The proposed<br />
plan includes a two-bay swing<br />
set with a basket swing to<br />
improve accessibility, as well as<br />
a wheelchair-friendly carousel.<br />
RESIDENTS’ WORKSHOP<br />
The city council’s Edgeware<br />
Village Project Team is<br />
organising a workshop for<br />
residents, businesses and other<br />
stakeholders to discuss the<br />
next stage of the area’s street<br />
design. This will be held on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 29, from 5.30-7.15pm<br />
at the Mainland Football<br />
Head Office, 127 Cranford<br />
St, St Albans. The workshop<br />
will provide an opportunity<br />
to consider the implications<br />
of decisions on recent projects<br />
and whether community views<br />
have changed. Results of a<br />
recent survey of parking in<br />
the village will be presented<br />
and discussed. For more<br />

Tuesday <strong>August</strong> 9 <strong>2016</strong><br />
Rangi staff recognised for teaching excellence<br />
SEVERAL STAFF from Rangi Ruru<br />
Girls’ School have been recognised<br />
with a number of awards.<br />
Art teacher Kate Rivers has been<br />
recognised in the <strong>2016</strong> Independent<br />
Schools of New Zealand Honours<br />
Awards for her service to art education.<br />
One of Rangi’s longest serving staff<br />
members Frances Barnett has been<br />
recognised at the Boarding School<br />
Association’s national conference in<br />
Queenstown for her contribution and<br />
dedication.<br />
On top of those the physical education<br />
team has received an award from<br />
Physical Education New Zealand for<br />
demonstrating excellence in their field.<br />
Principal Sandra Hastie said the<br />
awards acknowledge the very high<br />
quality of teaching staff at the school<br />
as well as how hard everyone works to<br />
ensure that the students always get the<br />
very best from staff and teachers.<br />
“Rangi is about people. Our girls, our<br />
staff, our families and the wider community<br />
around the school,” she said.<br />
NINE PEOPLE who have<br />
studied or lived in the<br />
north-west area have been<br />
awarded grants from the Inspire<br />
Foundation to pursue their<br />
dreams and build careers.<br />
Angus Foster, Jack Lopas,<br />
Jake Koekemoer and Jared van<br />
“We are only as good as our<br />
people and it’s great to see the<br />
acknowledgement our people are<br />
exceptional.”<br />
Dr Hastie said what she sees as a<br />
ACHIEVERS<br />
common thread through the awards<br />
and winners is a focus on each girl and<br />
in a broad and holistic way.<br />
“Frances’s work in the boarding<br />
house is legendary. Kate’s work with<br />
our students around well-being is<br />
invaluable and her dedication to<br />
sustainability issues shows a depth in<br />
her as a person, of which we are very<br />
proud,” she said.<br />
“Last and by no means least our PE<br />
department. This recognition of their<br />
innovative programme was about<br />
the focus on the ‘whole girl’ with an<br />
emphasis on competency development<br />
and transformation teaching and<br />
learning practices,” she said.<br />

Buy fair trade to help improve workers’ lives<br />
ews<br />
piece is<br />
This week’s<br />
opinion<br />
written by<br />
Selwyn<br />
House<br />
School<br />
pupil Estella<br />
Valenski<br />
about buying fair trade<br />
clothing<br />
ashion<br />
CLOTHES, YOU all wear them,<br />
you all are wearing them now.<br />
How many of you have<br />
stopped to take a look at the<br />
label on those clothes?<br />
Because if it was made in Asia<br />
or a Third World country, it’s<br />
highly likely that the people who<br />
made those items have been<br />
paid such a small amount of<br />
money and have had to work in<br />
shocking conditions.<br />
Firstly, the workers shouldn’t<br />
be working in the conditions<br />
they are working in.<br />
Some workers faint while they<br />
are working because of exhaustion,<br />
heat and poor nutrition.<br />
Diseases can spread very easily<br />
so the damp cold working places<br />
don’t help.<br />
Secondly, many of the factories<br />
that these workers are in have<br />
no health and safety policies<br />
or guidelines, they have the<br />
windows and doors locked with<br />
little ventilation.<br />
There is no regard for the<br />
rights or well-being of their<br />
employees.<br />
In Asian factories more than<br />
40,000 fingers are lost or broken<br />
each year.<br />
Thirdly, just wait until I tell<br />
you the massive profits that are<br />
being made when we buy these<br />
products in good faith.<br />
We buy these products not<br />
realising the conditions these<br />
products were made in and what<br />
the employees were paid to make<br />
the products.<br />
The conditions for the workers<br />
are terrible and it should stop.<br />
If we help increase the number<br />
of businesses with fair trade we<br />
can make a huge difference.<br />
We can help the workers live a<br />
more comfortable life.<br />
They will have good nutrition<br />
in their bodies and will work in<br />
a safe and clean environment.<br />
So buy fair trade and help<br />
these workers.<br />
How do you know you are<br />
buying fair trade?<br />
There should be a sticker on<br />
the product or a sign when you<br />
walk in the door of the shop<br />
indicating it is fair trade.<br />
So are you going to make a<br />
difference and help the workers<br />
who make your clothes live a<br />
better life?<br />
Do you make an effort to<br />
buy fair trade? Share your<br />
views with us. Email andrew.<br />

Readers respond to<br />
last week’s article on a<br />
petition launched to fix the<br />
Harewood Rd intersection<br />
Adrienne Russell,<br />
of Bishopdale:<br />
I have lived in the area for<br />
22 years. I firmly believe this<br />
intersection needs looking at<br />
immediately, as it is four lanes<br />
to cross and the traffic does not<br />
otoring<br />
travel at 50km/h which makes<br />
a decision to cross the road and<br />
judging the traffic dangerous.<br />
All our neighbours are of the<br />
same opinion and when you<br />
get an elderly person whose<br />
judgement is not as quick as a<br />
younger person’s, they hold the<br />
traffic up. A lot of the traffic,<br />
goes left out of Gardiners Rd and<br />
asty Bites<br />
up to the first bay to turn then<br />
travels in whichever direction<br />
they want to go.<br />
The same coming out of<br />
Breens Rd, they turn left then<br />
take the first bay opposite<br />
Copenhagen to turn back along<br />
Harewood Rd. I will definitely be<br />
signing the petition.<br />
oney<br />
Mark Russell,<br />
of Bishopdale:<br />
I would sign the petition for<br />
the Harewood intersection.<br />
Gemma Salm,<br />
of Bishopdale:<br />
I would definitely sign a<br />
petition for the change of the<br />
Harewood intersection. It’s a<br />
horrible intersection that I avoid<br />
if I can.<br />
Readers respond to an<br />
article about the possibility<br />
of resident parking permits<br />
to alleviate parking issues<br />
around suburban streets<br />
Jenny Glasson, of Ilam:<br />
Fully support this initiative, it’s<br />
the only fair way to compensate<br />
living close to the university.<br />
We have traditionally been penalised<br />
by living close, and now<br />
just have parking ones side.<br />
However, all that side is<br />
completely taken up now with<br />
tradespeople parking while<br />
work is completed on the<br />
campus. By 6.45am the street<br />
is full. We are penalised if we<br />
have tradespeople to undertake<br />
repairs in our homes. The<br />
university needs to provide<br />
parking on the campus, that’s<br />
another issue however, it was<br />
unfair to limit parking for<br />
residents. To go into service<br />
centres and organise cones for<br />
special events is impractical.<br />
This initiative is in place in other<br />
centres, I believe in Wellington.<br />
Bob Broughton,<br />
of Riccarton:<br />
It is welcome news that this<br />
issue has been taken up. Over<br />
the years the residents around<br />
Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock<br />

PARKING WOES: Restrictions will soon be installed on<br />
Harewood Rd meaning residents will not be able to park<br />
outside of their properties longer than 120min.<br />
St, some with 120 parking, have<br />
repeatedly suggested resident<br />
parking permits but have been<br />
blocked by city council staff.<br />
This in spite of presenting<br />
photos of cities like Auckland<br />
and many cities overseas showing<br />
areas with resident parking.<br />
One of the issues on parking<br />
is the failure of businesses to<br />
provide a realistic level of parking<br />
for staff thus forcing them<br />
to park all day on residential<br />
streets.<br />
Another is the naive planning<br />
concept of one parking space per<br />
apartment. For example, apartments<br />
in the south Riccarton<br />
area are occupied by several<br />
people, each having a vehicle<br />
which means the streets are<br />
jammed with their vehicles as<br />
well as those from the mall staff<br />
parking all day.<br />
It is a pity Environment<br />
Canterbury cannot carry out<br />
more useful surveys that would<br />
examine the travel requirements<br />
of workers. For example, vehicles<br />
are queued from Riccarton all<br />
the way up Straven and Idris<br />
Rds in the mornings. Perhaps<br />
a more innovative approach to<br />
public transport would help with<br />
traffic and consequently parking<br />
problems.<br />
The proposed city plan also allows<br />
for taller commercial buildings<br />
in commercial areas such<br />
as Riccarton which increases<br />
the number of workers and thus<br />
will exasperate the traffic and<br />
hence parking problems.<br />
The university also contributes<br />
to parking problems in surrounding<br />
streets. The restricted<br />
parking, P120 or P60, does have<br />
positive benefits. It prevents the<br />
all day high density parking with<br />
vehicles parked on or even over<br />
driveways making it difficult<br />
and dangerous for residents to<br />
exit their properties. In my area<br />
it allows for visitors to local<br />
residences, as well as providing<br />
parking for those wanting to nip<br />
into a business or for lunch and<br />
for Riccarton Bush activities.<br />
The issue here is that there are<br />
those who persistently abuse<br />
the time limit and park all day.<br />
The city council does not have<br />
enough staff to patrol all such<br />
areas and the odd fine is still<br />
cheap parking.<br />
Perhaps a three strikes and<br />
then increased fine might assist.<br />
However, in the end, alternatives<br />
to alleviate stress on parking<br />
need to be found. Registering<br />
tradespeople vehicles with the<br />
city council for all day parking<br />
certainly worked well when we<br />
had repairs being carried out<br />
on our house. I would certainly<br />
support the call for resident<br />
parking permits across the city.<br />

Michaelee McDonald and Rangi<br />

Canterbury will field two<br />
teams in the competition, with<br />
the South Island Junior and<br />
Teenage Rugby Board agreeing<br />
to a second “development” team<br />
from Canterbury.<br />
The Canterbury A team will<br />
be coached by Tevita Siulangapo<br />
and Katie Stanton, and coaches<br />
are yet to be appointed for the<br />
development team.<br />
Siulangapo said the inclusion<br />
of two local teams is great news<br />
for women’s rugby in the region.<br />
“A tournament like this allows<br />
players to develop their game<br />
under different coaches and<br />
against some really tough opposition,”<br />
he said.<br />
“More Canterbury school<br />
players will get that opportunity<br />
this year and hopefully that results<br />
in more of the girls choosing<br />
to carry on with the game<br />
after secondary school.”<br />
The tournament will be held<br />
from September 25 to 27.<br />

“If they are just needing the<br />

“There are so many specialists<br />
that are there under one roof<br />
so people can go at their own<br />
leisure and talk to them and plan<br />
their day. Then they can make<br />

later date and follow up.”<br />

Tyra Adlam aka Maleficent<br />
Playing the villain for charity<br />
Your Local Views<br />
Tyra Adlam, of St Albans, has a second life as one<br />
Disney’s most-loved villains, Maleficent. Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding spoke to her about the reaction she<br />
gets when undertaking charity work dressed as the<br />
“mistress of all evil”<br />
Why did you decide to dress<br />
up as Maleficent?<br />
A lot of it had to do with being<br />
drawn to gothic characters.<br />
<strong>News</strong><br />
Characters that are crazy pale,<br />
with colourful eyes decked out<br />
in black. Maleficent is very<br />
commanding and powerful. I<br />
have so much more confidence<br />
in my real life now after dressing<br />
as this character.<br />
What was it like when<br />
you made your first public<br />
appearance as Maleficent?<br />
Fashion<br />
It was Halloween and I ended<br />
up going on a bus trip and having<br />
a great time. I didn’t realise<br />
New Zealand had these Armageddon<br />
expos. When I went to<br />
my first expo I had no idea what<br />
to expect. I spent the first hour<br />
posing for photos. The reaction<br />
was staggering. My character<br />
Gardening<br />
encourages strength and power.<br />
Meeting like-minded people in<br />
the community was great, too. I<br />
got into charity events through<br />
that. The goal now, with my<br />
friend Darth Vader, is to do as<br />
much good as possible. Our<br />
characters both know what it’s<br />
like to suffer. We both want to<br />
give back to people who need<br />
help – there is nothing in this<br />
world like it.<br />
What events do you attend as<br />
Maleficent?<br />
I go to Armageddon, and do<br />
charity and not-for-profit work<br />
with the Christchurch Faerie<br />
Circle.<br />
What do you do as a day job?<br />
I have worked at the Christchurch<br />
Horror Maze over the<br />
summer as a scare actress.<br />
Because of health issues I’ve got,<br />
I can’t really do a great deal.<br />
So it hasn’t been an easy<br />
journey?<br />
No. Ever since I was diagnosed<br />
with a chronic illness it has<br />
been ongoing. Finding the right<br />
balance is so important because<br />
you can do too much. Some<br />
days are really good but you can<br />
push yourself a little too much<br />
and your body can protest the<br />
next day. One of the reasons I<br />
MAGIC: Tyra dresses as the Disney character Maleficent when<br />
she does charity work.<br />
love being Maleficent is because<br />
it is not about me. When I do a<br />
charity event as Maleficent it is<br />
not about me and my issues, it<br />
is entirely about someone else.<br />
It is really nice focusing yourself<br />
PHOTO: KIRSTY LEE<br />
on people in need, rather than<br />
focusing on yourself. It is a way<br />
for me to get out of my own head<br />
and realise other people have<br />
stuff going on as well.<br />
You have a great outlook.<br />
You kind of have to. You get to<br />
a point where you can either sit<br />
there and be miserable about the<br />
things you can’t change, or you<br />
can invest your energy into the<br />
good stuff.<br />
Tell me about your family?<br />
I have a sister who is incredibly<br />
supportive. My parents live<br />
in Te Puki, near Tauranga. It<br />
is the Kiwifruit capital of New<br />
Zealand. My family think it is<br />
great I dress up. There is this idea<br />
that it is weird and there can be<br />
judgment, but my family think<br />
it is great. They get right behind<br />
it and support it. My sister is an<br />
artist. She is a painter that just<br />
got into sculpting and is very<br />
creative. My grand-father, who<br />
passed away in 1997, was into<br />
pottery so there has always been<br />
an artistic influence in my family.<br />
Have you ever considered<br />
going into acting?<br />
I have toyed with the idea. But<br />
with my chronic illness, there<br />
is no telling how I will be on<br />
any one day. Charity events do<br />
not happen too often and they<br />
are only for a few hours. Even<br />
if I don’t feel great, there is the<br />
reward of helping others and I<br />
can push myself through. But it<br />
is a matter of listening to what<br />
the body is saying.<br />

Ultimate Winter<br />
Comfort Food<br />
As winter starts to take it’s hold (albeit late), there is nothing better on<br />
a cold evening than to sit down to a hot aromatic rich meal with gravy.<br />
This beef and ale pie checks all the boxes. It does take some planning<br />
though. the good news is you can just make it as a hearty stew & serve<br />
with your choice of vegetables if you prefer. Although a slow cooker is<br />
preferred, there is no reason why you can’t casserole this in the oven.<br />
Makes 6 individual or one large pie.<br />
ingredients<br />
1kg Chuck steak or gravy beef cut into<br />
chunks<br />
Olive oil<br />
1 large onion<br />
2 Cloves garlic<br />
1 Large carrot<br />
2Tbsp plain flour<br />
1/4 Cup gravy powder<br />
1/2 Cup beef stock<br />
330ml Beer<br />
2Tbsp tomato paste<br />
1Tbsp worcester sauce<br />
Salt & pepper<br />
Mushrooms coarsley chopped (optional)<br />
Short crust pastry for the base<br />
Flaky puff pastry for top<br />
Coat beef with seasoned flour & brown in oil. Transfer to slowcooker. Place all other<br />
ingredients in, set to low for 6 hours. Check for thickness, add thickening if required, cool.<br />
Prepare pie casing. When meat is cool divide between them. put the tops on sealing with a<br />
little milk. Brush with lightly beaten egg. Bake at 200 deg celcius in the lower oven for about<br />
25mins or until golden. Remove from oven to a cooling rack.<br />
For best results make sure the pastry is well refridgerated before using.<br />
For the perfect finish<br />
It only takes a few minutes to mix, microwave and top these hot chocolate<br />
puds with ice cream and liqueur for a rich, indulgent dessert<br />
Ingredients<br />
150ml milk<br />
50g pitted prunes<br />
2 tsp instant coffee<br />
50g soft butter<br />
50g icing sugar<br />
1 large egg<br />
50g ground almonds<br />
2 tbsp cocoa<br />
1 tbsp self-raising flour<br />
4 scoops coffee or vanilla ice cream, to<br />
serve (optional)<br />
4 tsp coffee liqueur, to serve (optional)<br />
Measure the milk in a large jug, then blend with the prunes and coffee in a food processor<br />
until smooth. Add the butter, sugar, egg, almonds, cocoa, flour and a pinch of salt, then blitz<br />
again to make a thick batter.<br />
Scrape evenly and cleanly (don’t take the mixture up the sides) into 4 x 175ml ramekins<br />
(don’t use any with metal on them!). Cook in the microwave, spaced round the edge of the<br />
turntable, on Medium for 6 mins. The puddings will still look a bit moist, but that’s fine.<br />
Stand for 5 mins, then serve topped with a scoop of ice cream and a little liqueur, if you like.<br />

Papanui’s past<br />
Studying commercial practice<br />
• By Murray Williams,<br />
Papanui Heritage Group<br />
JANET Tillman’s<br />
reflections are continued<br />
with an emphasis on her<br />
school years and postschool<br />
employment.<br />
In 1967, Janet started at<br />
Papanui High School.<br />
She chose a commercial<br />
option in form 3, now<br />
year 9, and although core<br />
subjects, maths, science,<br />
english and social studies<br />
were taught, her course<br />
locked her into studying<br />
typing and commercial<br />
practice up to at least her<br />
fifth form year (year 11).<br />
She left Papanui High<br />
with University Entrance<br />
but opted to seek employment<br />
using her commercial<br />
training.<br />
She first worked for<br />
the shipping agent A.H<br />
Turnbull.<br />
She found that her typing<br />
skills were useful in<br />
preparing bills of lading,<br />
invoices and cheques.<br />
Office technology probably<br />
reflected the norm for<br />

OLD SCHOOL: An<br />
example of the data<br />
entry peripherals used<br />
with the computer at<br />
Firestone in the 1970s. <br />
the equipment was ancient<br />
and, in the four years Janet<br />
was with the firm, nothing<br />
was updated.<br />
Her next job was as an<br />
accounts clerk with the<br />
American company of<br />
Firestone in their large<br />
complex in Langdons Rd.<br />
Janet’s responsibility<br />
was to prepare the<br />
monthly costings for tyre<br />
prices.<br />
Working conditions and<br />
pay were excellent and the<br />
company was prepared<br />
to invest in its staff to the<br />
extent that it offered her<br />
10 hours per week to study<br />
accountancy in the firm’s<br />
time.<br />
Firestone was at the<br />
cutting edge of new<br />
technology and towards<br />
the end of her time there<br />
the firm started to install<br />
a computer system, a<br />
development that was later<br />
to result in office redundancies.<br />
Janet remembers the<br />
divide between the factory<br />
workers who manufactured<br />
the tyres, at this stage<br />
an exclusively male work<br />
force in comparison to the<br />
office staff which included<br />
male and female labour.<br />
The rubber workers were<br />
unionised and strikes were<br />
used to win better pay and<br />
conditions.<br />
Office staff and factory<br />
workers used different<br />
cafeteria facilities as the<br />
production process resulted<br />
in the workers being<br />
exposed to carbon black<br />
and therefore the clothes<br />
of anyone later sitting in<br />
the same seat would have<br />
been damaged.<br />
During this time Janet<br />
returned to her old school<br />
to take advantage of<br />
Papanui High’s extensive<br />
night school programme.<br />
She took woodwork<br />
classes and thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the experience<br />
that had been denied her<br />
while a day pupil a decade<br />
before.<br />

Keeping TracK<br />
Of YOur HealTH<br />
Lets take a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and<br />
how does it work? Most importantly,<br />
how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime?<br />
Fitbit consists of a family of products<br />
designed to track every part of your day<br />
– including activity, exercise, food, weight<br />
and sleep – to help you stay motivated,<br />
and see how small steps make a big<br />
impact. There’s something for every taste,<br />
budget and technical requirement from<br />
the everyday category of wrist bands to<br />
performance-specific watches.<br />
All Fitbit products track steps, distance,<br />
calories burned and active minutes. All<br />
but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep<br />
patterns. At the performance end of the<br />
range you’ll also have access to things<br />
like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of<br />
the products feature wireless syncing and<br />
online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit<br />
app to help track your exercise, sleep,<br />
hydration and food, and connect with<br />
friends.<br />
Seeing your progress can really help<br />
you realise what’s possible, and investing<br />
in a Fitbit may help to take you on the<br />
next step of your health and fitness<br />
journey.<br />
Fitbit was built on the premise that<br />
fitness is not just about gym time; it’s<br />
about all the time. So, it can be a great<br />
addition to your fitness regime.<br />
There are many things to consider when choosing a<br />
health and fitness regime to follow through with.<br />
for example:<br />
• What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking,<br />
cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else?<br />
• Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a<br />
personal trainer?<br />
• What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on<br />
processed food, for example?<br />
• Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as<br />
the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise?<br />
• Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?!<br />
Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port<br />
of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you<br />
with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals.<br />
Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp<br />
up your progress towards your goals. investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this,<br />
especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure<br />
progress from<br />
each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a<br />
mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be<br />
just the ticket.<br />

A game changer in the fight<br />
against Parkinson’s Disease<br />
If you have Parkinson’s disease, you cannot<br />
afford to underestimate the benefits of<br />
exercise. Being sedentary is one of the fastest<br />
ways to see your symptoms get worse. To be<br />
the best you can be, consider a revolutionary<br />
Parkinson’s programme, PD Warrior, run by<br />
Muscle People Physiotherapy.<br />
“Exercise needs to be a front line defence<br />
for people with Parkinson’s disease. PD<br />
Warrior aims to re-wire the brain to allow<br />
everyday movements and activities to be<br />
performed with greater ease. Just like your<br />
muscles benefit from cross- training, your<br />
brain also benefits from being challenged and<br />
surprised.” Melissa McConaghy, co-founder<br />
of PD Warrior and Specialist Neurological<br />
Physiotherapist.<br />
Purposeful movement can combat the loss<br />
of motor control seen in Parkinson’s disease.<br />
PD Warrior combines a high effort, intensive<br />
work-out with a challenging combination<br />
of movements and mental strategy. It is<br />
designed for people with early stage or mild<br />
Parkinson’s disease with the aim of slowing<br />
down the progress of the disease.<br />
“PD Warrior is loads of fun and can get<br />
very loud with plenty of variety to keep<br />
people engaged. you get to connect with<br />
like-minded people who want to fight their<br />
symptoms,” says Laurie Moore, Director of<br />
Muscle People Physiotherapy.<br />
Neil, from Rangiora, has been attending<br />
the PD Warrior programme and says; “The<br />
exaggerated movement keeps the body<br />
moving rather than seizing up”. Neil keeps<br />
up the exercises at home during the week and<br />
says “that’s how you get the most benefit out<br />
of it.” He has been playing more golf and is<br />
able to work a couple of days a week.<br />
Muscle People has helped clients achieve<br />
some significant milestones through PD<br />
Warrior. Those who come to the PD Warrior<br />
circuit style programme at the city clinic each<br />
week report feeling more confident in their<br />
movements and are able to move more freely<br />
and get back into life.<br />
The first step in the PD Warrior<br />
programme is an assessment at Muscle<br />
People Physiotherapy. for more information<br />
or to book your assessment telephone the<br />
friendly team at Muscle People on<br />
360 3606.”<br />
PD Warrior not only re-trains your<br />
brain, it also helps you to get -<br />
• Your life back – get back to doing<br />
the things you love.<br />
• Stronger and healthier, so you feel<br />
better about yourself.<br />
• More comfortable doing several<br />
things at one time.<br />
• Better balance... prevent<br />
dangerous accidents and falls.<br />
• Able to do all the little things that<br />
you have recently abandoned.<br />
Parkinson’s -<br />
• Parkinson’s is a progressive<br />
neurodegenerative condition<br />
which effects the part of the brain<br />
responsible for initiating and coordinating<br />
movement.<br />
• Approximately 1 in 500 people<br />
have the condition.<br />
• Twenty percent of people affected<br />
by Parkinson’s are of working age<br />
(15-64 years).<br />
PD Warrior -<br />
• Uses a unique combination of<br />
physical and cognitive activities to<br />
drive the brain’s natural ability to<br />
re-wire itself.<br />
• PD Warrior retrains the brain<br />
and helps people feel stronger and<br />
fitter.<br />
• Muscle People Physiotherapy run<br />
the PD Warrior each week with a<br />
group of 10 people.<br />
What type of Parkinson’s do you have?<br />
Knowing the answer to this question can slow down your Parkinson’s and<br />
help you to look, move and feel better.<br />

for and sung along side many<br />

Greatest Love of All, I Wanna Dance<br />
