Motorway build to begin<br />
CONSTRUCTION ON<br />
a $240m extension to the<br />
Northern Motorway will begin<br />
in October with the city council<br />
and New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency announcing who will<br />
build it.<br />
It will be built east of Belfast,<br />
between the Waimakariri<br />
River and Cranford St in a joint<br />
venture between NZTA, city<br />
council, Fulton Hogan, Aurecon<br />
and Jacobs.<br />
The alliance will also<br />
construct a new road between<br />
QE II Dr and Cranford St,<br />
referred to as the Northern<br />
Arterial Extension. It will also<br />
upgrade Cranford St to four<br />
lanes to Innes Rd.<br />
The projects together<br />
will form the Christchurch<br />
Northern Corridor.<br />
NZTA southern regional<br />
director Jim Harland said the<br />
new section of the Northern<br />
Motorway is critical to<br />
improving journey times for<br />
commuters, many of whom<br />
have rebuilt homes in North<br />
Canterbury.<br />
It is also vital for the<br />
continued growth of<br />
Christchurch as the South<br />
Island’s main freight<br />
distribution centre and export<br />
hub.<br />
Detailed design for the new<br />
motorway is currently being<br />
completed and construction<br />
is expected to get underway<br />
in mid to late October. It is<br />
expected to take four years to<br />
complete.<br />
Mr Harland said the alliance<br />
is a great example of central<br />
and local government working<br />
together to create a safe, reliable<br />
transport network that meets<br />
the needs of all road users,<br />
including cyclists, pedestrians<br />
and those using public<br />
transport.<br />
STARTING SOON:<br />
Construction of a $240m<br />
extension to the Northern<br />
Motorway will begin in<br />
October.<br />
The Christchurch<br />
Northern Corridor<br />
includes:<br />
•An upgrade of QEII Drive<br />
to four lanes between<br />
Main North Rd and Innes<br />
Rd.<br />
•Better access to the<br />
growing industrial zone<br />
area around Belfast.<br />
•Construction of a third<br />
northbound lane on<br />
the Waimakariri Bridge<br />
through to Tram Rd.<br />
•A shared pedestrian/<br />
cyclist path along the<br />
length of the project.<br />
•Improvements to the<br />
public transport network<br />
and efficiency on Main<br />
North Rd.<br />

this roading project solve<br />
congestion problems for<br />
motorists coming into the<br />
city from the north? Share<br />

In Brief<br />
REPAIRS BEGIN<br />
Residents of Grants Rd and Proctor<br />
St in Papanui will have SCIRT crews<br />
working in their area for about eight<br />
weeks. They are replacing three<br />
sections of an earthquake-damaged<br />
wastewater main. Work has started<br />
on Grants Rd with a trench being<br />
dug to remove and replace a broken<br />
pipe. Part of Grants Rd around the<br />
worksite will be closed until the<br />
work has been completed.<br />
MOTOR-CYCLIST HURT<br />
A man was taken to Christchurch<br />
Hospital in a moderate condition<br />
after he was knocked off his motorcycle<br />
in Strowan last Tuesday. St<br />
John sent an ambulance to the scene<br />
on Heaton St at about 6.50pm. The<br />
man, in his 50s, was assessed at<br />
the scene and taken to hospital for<br />
further treatment.<br />
FUNDING SOUGHT<br />
Papanui resident Angus McWilliam<br />
has applied for $518 from the<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board’s discretionary response<br />
fund to attend the junior Tall<br />
Blacks training camp and under-23<br />
nationals. Angus, <strong>16</strong>, attends<br />
Middleton Grange. Burnside<br />
High School student Connor<br />
Hill has applied for $200 from<br />
the board’s youth development<br />
fund to participate in the Spirit<br />
of Adventure trophy voyage<br />
from October 30 to November 3.<br />
The board will decide tomorrow<br />
whether to approve the funding.<br />

One man and his 1000 dreams<br />
• By Roy Sinclair<br />
NEIL ANDREWS leads the<br />
way down precarious steps to a<br />
seemingly underground room.<br />
He flicks on a light switch.<br />
I am wowed by a high viaduct<br />
spanning a realistic gorge. My<br />
eyes are led to tall forests, tree<br />
ferns galore and a painted backdrop<br />
depicting a stormy sky.<br />
“This is what I do,” he says.<br />
“It is not what I do in my spare<br />
time.<br />
“I mow the lawns in my spare<br />
time.”<br />
The room was purpose-built<br />
for the 9mm (scale 9mm to the<br />
foot) layout representative of a<br />
one-time railway in Northland.<br />
In his garage he is working on<br />
a second, portable, layout. This is<br />
a narrow-gauge railway based on<br />
French townscapes.<br />
Model railways is an interest<br />
he could not be without.<br />
“When I met my partner,<br />
Helen, I told her it is me and my<br />
trains. They are inseparable.<br />
“She accepted that which was<br />
great.”<br />
He describes railway modelling<br />
“as a thousand dreams<br />
held together by a hundred<br />
unfinished jobs. In other words,<br />
a degree of chaos.”<br />
“Part of the fascination is<br />
HAND-MADE: Model builder, Neil Andrews and his miniature creation of early last century<br />
Northland. <br />
delving into history to discover<br />
how it all would have looked like<br />
early last century,” Mr Andrews<br />
said.<br />
He always liked to do things<br />
with his hands. He enjoyed art<br />
at school – and building things.<br />
Even when he had clockwork<br />
railways he was always cutting<br />
up cardboard boxes to make<br />
buildings.<br />
He recalls scoring designs on<br />
pieces of wood to make boats.<br />
Railways became another part<br />
of it.<br />
Getting into more serious railway<br />
modelling during the late<br />
1950s, there was not much stuff<br />
available and if it was he didn’t<br />
have the money.<br />
If he wanted it he made it.<br />
“My mother used to take me to<br />
the railway station. I remember<br />
being in my pushchair watching<br />
the Lyttelton trains come and<br />
go.<br />
“Then at primary school I was<br />
quite capable of making an Ecclass<br />
electric locomotive with the<br />
distinctive air compressor tanks<br />
across the front. Everyone could<br />
recognise it.”<br />
Later, any new gadget at his<br />
Canterbury University laboratory<br />
would be first examined to<br />
how it would be useful on the<br />
model railway.<br />
“Then we would work out how<br />
it was intended to be used.”<br />
His workplace became known<br />
as “the model train laboratory.”<br />
That’s what people who visited<br />
talked about.<br />
He travelled to model railroad<br />
conventions in the United States,<br />
becoming a member of the<br />
R.G.S. East Hon3 club.<br />
He visited huge model railway<br />
shows in Cologne and Miniature<br />
Wonderland in Hamburg.<br />
“In Germany a model railway<br />
is like a dishwasher. Everyone<br />
has to have one. And most offerings<br />
are German-made. They are<br />
excellent.<br />
“On one European trip Helen<br />
and I were forced off the road by<br />
Tour de France officials.<br />
“We had to divert into a backwater<br />
countryside.<br />

BUILDING: A train layout under construction and a G-scale<br />
layout at last year’s Christchurch Model Train Show.<br />
“There we found towns of<br />
beautiful buildings with terracotta<br />
roofs. We had discovered<br />
the romance of the French countryside.<br />
“Anything French is different.<br />
If you see a French car you know<br />
it is French because it looks nothing<br />
like anything else. It is the<br />
same with railways.<br />
“Their narrow gauge railways<br />
were basically portable. They<br />
could be picked up and laid<br />
beside a road.<br />
“That really intrigued me. Narrow<br />
gauge secondary lines were<br />
introduced to boost the network<br />
of French railways.’’<br />
The unplanned detour instigated<br />
his French narrow gauge layout.<br />
“One develops a modeller’s<br />
mind.<br />
“A modeller will typically think<br />
how it would look in miniature?”<br />
He talks about Hamburg’s<br />
mind-boggling Miniature Wonderland.<br />
“It’s absolutely intriguing. It’s<br />
a huge collection that is pushing<br />
the boundaries of technology and<br />
inspiring manufacturers to pick<br />
up on it with new products.”<br />
“The model aircraft must<br />
represent the peak of model<br />
building.’’<br />
“The model trains have been<br />
running for so long the track is<br />
wearing out.”<br />
The closest we have in<br />
Christchurch is the annual big<br />
model train Show, this year being<br />
held over the weekend of October<br />
1 and 2.<br />
The venue is Pioneer Stadium<br />
in Lyttelton St, Spreydon. It is the<br />
show’s 25th anniversary so promises<br />
to be special.<br />
Mr Andrews was an instigator<br />
of the event, starting a model<br />
train show at Hagley Community<br />
College and then expanding to<br />
the Horticultural Society hall.<br />
Then, the Christchurch Model<br />
Railway Exhibition Society was<br />
formed and took over. Its growth<br />
took it to Pioneer Stadium where<br />
it has been ever since. At its peak<br />
the show attracted 10,000 people<br />
over the two days.<br />
“It’s about its optimum size.<br />
“Considering our modest<br />
Christchurch population we do a<br />
pretty good job,” he said.<br />
This year’s show will help those<br />
wanting to get into the hobby.<br />
“We will have beginners’ train<br />
sets and heaps of demonstrations.<br />
Find out the best models to buy<br />
and learn how to make things.<br />
“Technology will be to the<br />
fore. This is enhancing the hobby<br />
and drawing younger people in.<br />
They can operate a railway from<br />
a PC or mobile phone, utilising<br />
wi-fi and DCC (digital control<br />
systems).”<br />
He says model railway people<br />
are an enthusiastic bunch. They<br />
will do their utmost to share<br />
what they know.<br />
Andrews will be on the demonstrations<br />
desk. It is likely he will<br />
let slip how to disguise a lot of<br />
money spent on the hobby within<br />
the weekly household bills.<br />

Cycle lane marked<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A STRETCH of road in<br />
Harewood that was causing<br />
confusion has finally been<br />
marked correctly by the city<br />
council.<br />
Where Gardiners Rd changes<br />
from 50km/h to 80km/h a small<br />
footpath was built to the left<br />
of the traffic islands, however,<br />
it was not clear what it was installed<br />
for.<br />
Some cyclists used the path to<br />
avoid vehicles coming close to<br />
them, while others just continued<br />
on the road.<br />
Now, it has been labelled as<br />
a cycleway with marking to<br />
indicate that, after the Shirley-<br />
Papanui Community Board<br />
requested the confusion be<br />
cleared up.<br />
Board deputy chairman<br />
Aaron Keown questioned<br />
why it took a request from<br />
the community board for it to<br />
happen.<br />
“It is obvious that cyclists<br />
should move to the left instead<br />
of competing with trucks and<br />
other vehicles on the road in<br />
the narrow bit between the two<br />
islands,” he said.<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said it was not “designed as a<br />

RESIDENTS FIGHTING to stop<br />
the expansion of an Edgeware<br />
petrol station will have to wait<br />
until September for a decision.<br />
A group of residents banded<br />
together to challenge the expansion<br />
of the Edgeware Rd BP, and<br />
made their case at a city council<br />
hearing on July 29 before commissioner<br />
David Mountfort<br />
BP has bought two sections<br />
next to the service station on<br />
the corner of Edgeware Rd and<br />
Cranford St, and plans to build a<br />
bigger forecourt and shop there.<br />
But residents say it will dominate<br />
their neighbourhood, and<br />
destroy the character of the area.<br />

Let’s keep Chch fluoride-free<br />
Former<br />
personal<br />
trainer John<br />
Verd was<br />
born in<br />
Christchurch’s<br />
sister city<br />
Seattle,<br />
United States, and<br />
moved to New Zealand<br />
in January last year. He<br />
writes this week’s opinion<br />
piece on fluoridation<br />
I love Christchurch water!<br />
It’s one of the many exceptional<br />
things we’d heard about<br />
the Garden City before moving<br />
here.<br />
So I was naturally concerned<br />
to learn about proposed<br />
changes to our water system.<br />
I discovered at an early age<br />
how location could affect<br />
water quality.<br />
When my grand-mother<br />
moved to the Cascade Mountains<br />
near Seattle, she said<br />
that the tap water there had a<br />
”sweetness” to it.<br />
She was absolutely right -<br />
there was a huge difference<br />
between our aquifers in Spokane<br />
and her spring water in<br />
Snoqualmie.<br />
It wasn’t until much later<br />
that I paid any attention to<br />
what is actually in our water.<br />
I’d heard people protest<br />
against fluoridation, but wrote<br />
them off as paranoid conspiracy<br />
theorists.<br />
It wasn’t until becoming a<br />
personal trainer that I actually<br />
questioned the practice.<br />
The research was eye opening.<br />
Our water is being treated<br />
with an industrial waste product<br />
called hydrofluorosilicic<br />
acid.<br />
This chemical is a by-product<br />
of the phosphate fertiliser<br />
industry.<br />
Although classified as hazardous<br />
waste, it is barrelled up<br />
and sold, unrefined, to communities<br />
across the country.<br />
This is the fluoride in public<br />
water.<br />
Former vice president and<br />
senior chemist at the United<br />
States Environmental Protection<br />
Agency headquarters, Dr<br />
William Hirzy, had this to say<br />
about it:<br />
“If this stuff gets out into<br />
the air, it’s a pollutant; if it gets<br />
into the river, it’s a pollutant;<br />
if it gets into the lake, it’s a<br />
pollutant; but if it goes straight<br />
into your drinking water system,<br />
it’s not a pollutant. That’s<br />
amazing.”<br />
Hydrofluorosilicic acid is<br />
far different from the sodium<br />
fluoride, which is not for<br />
ingestion, commonly used in<br />
toothpaste.<br />
This begs the question: Why<br />
would they use this dangerous<br />
form of fluoride? A likely<br />
reason is cost.<br />
Because it costs corporations<br />
many thousands of dollars per<br />
tonne to neutralise and dispose<br />
of it, they instead sell it to<br />
municipalities as a ‘product’.<br />
Chemist and worldrenowned<br />
fluoride researcher<br />
Dr Paul Connett lectured in<br />
Christchurch in July 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
He listed 50 human studies<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
finding that elevated fluoride<br />
exposure is associated with<br />
reduced IQ.<br />
Christchurch has managed<br />
to remain fluoride free for the<br />
last 30 years, but new legislation<br />
may allow for fluoridation<br />
by 2018 unless the public<br />
demands a place at the table in<br />
this decision.<br />
And that’s what is keeping<br />
me up at night.<br />
Do you, like John<br />
Verd, stay awake at<br />
night worried about<br />
fluoridation? Should we<br />
allow fluoridation of our<br />
water? Share your views<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS Tuesday <strong>August</strong> <strong>16</strong> 20<strong>16</strong> 9<br />
A reader responds<br />
to an article on a<br />
petition launched to<br />
fix the Harewood Rd<br />
intersection<br />
Michael Stirling –<br />
Harewood<br />
I’ve lived in Harewood<br />
since 2002, and can honestly<br />
say without doubt this is one<br />
of the worst intersections in<br />
Christchurch, particularly<br />
since the 2011 earthquakes<br />
whereby traffic has virtually<br />
doubled as more and more<br />
businesses and home-owners<br />
relocated to the west side of<br />
the city. It is just like the Grim<br />
Reaper advert on television a<br />
few years back, where people<br />
start sweating profusely at<br />
the wheel before closing their<br />
eyes and hope for a miracle<br />
crossing. The problem is (both<br />
ways) that drivers on Gardiners<br />
Rd and Breens Rd have to<br />
take calculated risks across<br />
four lanes of Harewood Rd<br />
(being two east-bound and<br />
two west-bound). The number<br />
of times I’ve experienced near<br />
misses is well into the 30s. I’ve<br />
been stopped in my tracks<br />
many times as I head into<br />
work, and have even given<br />
up tooting now, as it’s utterly<br />
pointless, you simply can’t<br />
educate some people. Sure, I<br />
can understand their frustrations<br />
and lack of patience<br />
(particularly after sitting idle<br />
for 3-4min at the ‘stop’ signs)<br />
and they end up virtually playing<br />
Russian roulette, praying<br />
they will cross safely without<br />
getting hit. The simple solution<br />
is traffic lights – just as the city<br />
council installed at the other<br />
end of Gardiners Rd – on the<br />
Sawyers Arms Rd intersection,<br />
which incidentally is only two<br />
lanes wide and not four, so go<br />
figure. In my view, it’s only a<br />
matter of time before there is<br />
a fatality (and I sincerely hope<br />
it is not me or my family, or<br />
anyone else for that matter).<br />
So hopefully the city council<br />
will come to their alert senses,<br />
smell the coffee (or should that<br />
be tar) before they end up with<br />
blood on their hands.<br />

Give yourself the best chance of escape<br />
Conditions apply.<br />
While stocks last.<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
BY RECENT standards<br />
the past week has been<br />
remarkably quiet.<br />
We’ve still been to plenty of<br />
false alarms, ambulance assistance<br />
calls and car crashes but<br />
fires, apart from the inevitable<br />
kitchen cooking fires (two<br />
this week), have been few in<br />
number.<br />
So let’s have a look at those<br />
things that can make our lives<br />
safer from fire that are easy to<br />
arrange in any home.<br />
Firstly, and by far most importantly,<br />
is the use of smoke<br />
alarms.<br />
I grew up in the days before<br />
widespread plastics and<br />
foams. So when I was a kid<br />
it took about 10min for any<br />
fire inside a house to go from<br />
ignition to flashover (the state<br />
where the entire contents of a<br />
room are on fire).<br />
Now, with the proliferation<br />
of oil-based products (those<br />
plastics and foams) in homes<br />
the time to flashover is reduced<br />
to 3min.<br />
That’s where smoke alarms,<br />
recommended in every<br />
bedroom, hallway and living<br />
room, are vital to give us the<br />
earliest possible warning of<br />
fire so we can escape well<br />
before that 3min is up.<br />
Because if you don’t, you’re<br />
probably in real trouble.<br />
After your own escape,<br />
making sure everyone else in<br />
the house is aware, is the first<br />
priority before having a meeting<br />
place where all can be accounted<br />
for, and phoning 111<br />
by cellphone or neighbour’s<br />
landline.<br />
Along with smoke alarms<br />
these are the basics of a home<br />
escape plan.<br />
If we all had one I’d investigate<br />
far fewer fatal fires.<br />
That would be fantastic!<br />

SCIRT programme on the home straight<br />
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls is<br />
almost complete and will finish in December.<br />
Most of our repairs involve fixing the city’s underground pipe networks with only small<br />
amount of our work focused on roads.<br />
Our roading work largely involves fixing where we have dug down to repair and replace<br />
the earthquake damaged pipes beneath. The result may look a little patchy but we repair<br />
roads to a reliable and serviceable standard.<br />
The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing repairs to the<br />
city's earthquake-damaged roads after SCIRT.<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 in Aikmans Road in Merivale have begun and will be<br />
completed at the end of the year.<br />
• Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and<br />
Bryndwr are due to finish next month.<br />

New school bus routes<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School has<br />
announced a trial of a new Red<br />
Bus services for students in<br />
south-west Canterbury.<br />
The initiative came from parents<br />
who were having difficulties getting<br />
their children to school using<br />
existing routes.<br />
Principal Sandra Hastie said the<br />
school is very supportive of effective<br />
public transport and having<br />
students on a bus, using bus lanes<br />
as well as other measures.<br />
“There’s already too little time<br />
and too much stress in many<br />
lives, so if we can alleviate that for<br />
parents and students that’s a good<br />
thing,” she said.<br />
The bus, which is identifiable<br />
by a ‘Rangi Ruru school bus’ sign,<br />
departs Burnham at 6.35am, with<br />
five points from which students<br />
can be picked up or get off at<br />
Rolleston, Lincoln University,<br />
Lincoln, Tai Tapu and Halswell.<br />
The bus arrives at the school by<br />
8.10am and returns at 4pm for<br />
pick up. It ends the day in Burnham<br />
at 5.20pm.<br />
Rangi Ruru business manager<br />
Neil Templeton said Red Bus has<br />
been very co-operative during the<br />
development of the service trial.<br />
“We are open to suggestions for<br />
improvements during the trial<br />
and are encouraging parents and<br />
students to give us feedback.”<br />
Fares are $7.50 return or $4 oneway<br />
and students use their Cando<br />
Card as they would for any metro<br />
bus. The card can be topped up<br />
with the driver.<br />
Dr Hastie said the service was<br />
also available to students from<br />
other Christchurch schools and<br />
parents should contact Rangi<br />
Ruru to register their son or<br />
daughter. She added that, all going<br />
well, the intention was to continue<br />
the service.<br />

BRAND NEW: Burnside Primary School has new sports uniforms.<br />
New sports uniforms<br />
show school’s values<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
BURNSIDE PRIMARY School<br />
pupils have flash new sports<br />
uniforms thanks to a $5000<br />
fundraising effort by the<br />
parent teacher association and<br />
donations.<br />
The school were supplied<br />
more than 100 new uniforms<br />
for five of teams, including<br />
rugby, hockey, netball, soccer<br />
and athletics.<br />
Sports coordinator Peter<br />
Chaplin said it would make<br />
their pupils stand out on sports<br />
day.<br />
“We host over 120 children<br />
every Friday as part of a local<br />
sports competition, along with<br />
teams travelling to Nunweek<br />
Park and Hagley Park to play<br />
in the weekly winter primary<br />
school sports competition,” he<br />
said.<br />
All the uniforms have an<br />
image of Hine Taio – the school<br />
carving that underpins the values<br />

CBHS advance to rugby final<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’<br />
High School have advanced<br />
to the grand final of the UC<br />
Championship following a 10-3<br />
win over Nelson College.<br />
The team made amends for last<br />
year’s shock 17-25 semi-final exit<br />
to Shirley Boys’ High School.<br />
They will play the team that<br />
broke their hearts 12 months<br />
ago in Saturday’s grand final at<br />
Rugby Park. Shirley defeated<br />
round-robin winners Christ’s<br />
College 17-14 at Upper in the<br />
other semi-final.<br />
The teams also have recent<br />
history, they met on <strong>August</strong> 7.<br />
CBHS survived a late penalty<br />
attempt from Shirley before a<br />
try in extra time sealed a tough<br />
19-13 victory.<br />
“They proved in beating<br />
Christ’s College that they’re going<br />
to be a really serious threat.<br />
They played very well against us<br />
the other week so we’re going<br />
to have to be at our very best<br />
because they have some seriously<br />
good players in that team,” said<br />
CBHS coach Mike Drury.<br />
The win over Nelson College<br />
was played in trying conditions.<br />
CBHS came out with intent,<br />
dominating the early possession<br />
and turning down penalty goal<br />
attempts in search of the game’s<br />
first try.<br />
They were rewarded for their<br />
efforts when Mosese Fifita<br />
barged his way over the line with<br />
10min to play in the first half.<br />
First-five Alex Harford converted<br />
and then extended the lead to 10<br />
with a penalty conversion before<br />
the break.<br />
Nelson played with the wind in<br />
the second period and narrowed<br />
the margin to seven through a<br />
William Havili penalty.<br />
Christchurch executed an<br />
outstanding game plan in the<br />
second half, not letting the visitors<br />
back into the game through<br />
strategic kicking.<br />
“I thought that second-five Ben<br />
Chippendale played a very astute<br />
game. He showed the quality of<br />
a senior player on the team. He<br />
racked off some pretty substantial<br />
yards and put them on the<br />
back foot a number of times,”<br />
said Drury.<br />
Meanwhile, in the plate section<br />
of the competition it will be<br />
Timaru Boys’ High School hosting<br />
Marlborough Boys’ College<br />
in Saturday’s final.<br />
Timaru defeated defending<br />
Plate champions Burnside High<br />
School 25-15, while Marlborough<br />
overpowered Waimea Combined<br />
19-0.<br />

Rower off to world champs<br />
LAWyerS<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A CHRISTCHURCH Boys’<br />
High School student is in<br />
Rotterdam, Netherlands,<br />
to compete in a world junior<br />
rowing championship.<br />
Jack Lopas, 17, of Little<br />
River, is a part of the New<br />
Zealand junior double sculls<br />
team.<br />
“Both my parents, uncles<br />
and grandad rowed so I got<br />
into it through them. My<br />
grandad and dad took me<br />
out on a single one day to<br />
have a go and I really enjoyed<br />
so it went from there,” Jack<br />
said.<br />
He started rowing at 14 and<br />
moved from Lincoln High<br />
School to Christchurch Boys<br />
and joined the rowing squad<br />
soon after.<br />
There he teamed up with<br />
fellow student Angus Foster to<br />
create a title-winning duo.<br />
“This year at club nationals<br />
we won the under-19 double<br />
sculls and at Maadi we won<br />
the under-18 double. There we<br />
were also a part of teams that<br />
won the under-18 quad and<br />
placed third in the under-18<br />
eight,” Jack said.<br />
He also won the under-18<br />
single and was selected to trial<br />
with the New Zealand junior<br />
rowing squad.<br />
During his trial, he<br />
managed to beat Olympic<br />
medallist Hamish Bond’s 2km<br />
rowing machine record he set<br />
DOUBLE TROUBLE: Angus Foster and Jack Lopas left for Europe last Friday to compete<br />
in the 20<strong>16</strong> World Rowing Junior Championship.<br />
while trialling for the New<br />
Zealand squad.<br />
“The record was 6.03<br />
seconds and I got 5.57<br />
seconds,” he said.<br />
This is the second time he’s<br />
made the junior team having<br />
been selected last year, when<br />
he and Angus only made it as<br />
the reserve duo.<br />
“It was an experience but we<br />
were in as reserves. But this<br />
year, we’re the top double so<br />
it’s a chance to go out there<br />
and do the best we can. We’ve<br />
got good potential this year,”<br />
Jack said.<br />
He trains at least seven<br />
times a week often peaking at<br />
12 trainings a week.<br />
His schedule consists of<br />
lots of early mornings, gym<br />
sessions, on-water trainings<br />
and rowing machines.<br />
“It’s very intense.”<br />
Jack and Angus flew out last<br />
Friday for the competition,<br />
which takes place from <strong>August</strong><br />
21-28.<br />
“It’s pretty exciting. It’s<br />
been quite a long time coming<br />
and we’re definitely ready for<br />
this.”<br />

said it was a little disappointing to<br />
end the game tied.<br />
“It was a gut-wrenching and<br />
intense final,” she said.<br />
Jack Hollingworth, 10, said they<br />
had to give it their all on the court<br />
to overcome Kaiapoi.<br />
“We had to try our best because<br />
Kaiapoi North gave us a good<br />
final,” he said.<br />
Mitchell Corkery, 11, said: “I<br />
was looking forward to the tournament<br />
but I was a bit nervous at<br />
the same time.”<br />
Cotswold not only tasted success<br />
in the basketball, but also in<br />
athletics.<br />
Cotswold’s Oliver Floris, 10,<br />
won the visually impaired 1km<br />
cross-country race.<br />
It was Oliver’s first time competing.<br />
His brother, Cameron<br />
Floris, of Casebrook Intermediate,<br />
ran alongside him as his support<br />
runner.<br />
“I gave it my all, but I was out<br />
of energy at the finish line. I felt<br />
overjoyed that I came first,” Oliver<br />
said.<br />
A GROUNDSWELL of<br />
support from the local<br />
community has helped the<br />
Shirley Hawks Rugby League<br />
Club win a $10,000 cash<br />
injection to fix up their club.<br />
Club supporter Kim<br />
McDiarmid was one of the<br />
first to nominate the Hawks,<br />
describing the club as going<br />
above and beyond for their<br />
players and fans.<br />
Home to five children’s<br />
teams, three senior teams and<br />
a women’s team, club manager<br />
Bernie Katene says the Shirley<br />
Hawks are not the largest rugby<br />
league club in the area, but the<br />
players and supporters have a lot<br />
of heart and the club want to do<br />
right by them.<br />
The club plans to use the winning<br />
funds to upgrade the club<br />
building, including the<br />
bar, which had been neglected<br />
in favour of other improvements.<br />
“It’s a big ask for funding to<br />
upgrade the bar, because there’s<br />
always something else that<br />
UPGRADE:<br />
The Shirley<br />
Hawks<br />
clubrooms<br />
are set for<br />
an upgrade<br />
following a<br />
$10,000 win <br />
League club gets funds for upgrade<br />
needs to be done,” says Katene.<br />
As a community-focused club,<br />
having attractive clubrooms is<br />
important.<br />
“We rely on the community to<br />
survive. Having a decent place<br />
to gather and socialise keeps<br />
interest in the team and in our<br />
events,” says Katene.<br />
The Woodstock Rugby League<br />
Club fix-up competition asked<br />
league fans to nominate their<br />
local club via Facebook with a<br />
short description on why they<br />
deserved an upgrade.

Ensuring a safe work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />
on to the sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />
Entry is free.<br />

Laughter Club<br />
Sunday, 11am -12pm.<br />
Laughter yoga employs no<br />
humour, jokes or comedy and<br />
participants are invited to laugh<br />
for no reason at all. Anyone<br />
can do it. Laughter is a form of<br />
exercise. The group makes eye<br />
contact while taking part in a series<br />
of playful laughter exercises,<br />
including breathing and gentle<br />
stretching. After a short while<br />
the laughter becomes infectious<br />
and genuine.<br />

hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />
it is located.<br />

Experts restore that<br />
“winning smile”<br />
Meeting people for the first<br />
time, interacting with others on social<br />
occasions, going for a job interview – in<br />
all these situations your smile is the most<br />
important part of you.<br />
or perhaps, on a lighter note, you<br />
might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’<br />
because your smile is not as attractive as it<br />
should be, due to missing or broken teeth.<br />
perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture<br />
South in Barrington, where the experts<br />
can give you that winning smile back.<br />
Clinical technician Andrew Johnson<br />
and his team of clinical and lab<br />
technicians are fully focused on providing<br />
customised service at their Barrington<br />
clinic, and will take all the time needed<br />
to fulfill your partial or full denture<br />
requirements whether you want an even,<br />
bright smile or a more natural-looking<br />
one.<br />
For people who have had dentures for a<br />
while and are finding they frequently need<br />
to buy denture adhesive to keep them in<br />
place, Andrew advises having the dentures<br />
relined so they will fit better. As he points<br />
out, the money spent on denture adhesive<br />
over 12 months would easily cover the<br />
cost of having your dentures refitted.<br />
Denture South has been providing a full<br />
range of denture services for the residents<br />
of Christchurch for over 13 years. These<br />
services include first-time immediate<br />
dentures, full replacement dentures,<br />
partial plates and sports mouth-guards.<br />
Many Denture South clients come<br />
through word-of-mouth referral, an<br />
indication of the level of satisfaction that’s<br />
provided there. Friendly, approachable<br />
and highly skilled, the Denture South<br />
team enjoys helping people with all their<br />
denture fitting, ongoing care and denture<br />
maintenance requirements.<br />

Learning FROM HOME<br />
in Christchurch<br />
After 5.5 successful years establishing<br />
popular home based childcare service<br />
Stems FROM HOME in Auckland,<br />
Cantabrian Emma McAlister has returned<br />
home with her own young family to ‘grow<br />
young minds’ in Christchurch too.<br />
Stems prides itself on providing flexible,<br />
affordable and personalised childcare for<br />
busy families who would dearly love their<br />
children to have an ‘at home mum’ early<br />
learning childhood experience .“This<br />
option isn’t often possible for families<br />
today for many reasons, but is so very<br />
important for our little people” says<br />
Emma. “ My role is to work personally<br />
with each family to find the best match<br />
in an Educator for them…I love helping<br />
create these special relationships!”<br />
Stems is fully licensed by the Ministry<br />
of Education and builds programmes<br />
alongside Educators for each child which<br />
follow the NZ curriculum. Activities,<br />
learning and ‘special moments’ are<br />
recorded for families by Educators every<br />
day and children are able to have their<br />
own routines maintained, experience<br />
peer interactions in well supported small<br />
groups, and attend learning experiences<br />
out and about in the local community<br />
very regularly. Costs range between $6-<br />
$7.50 per hour with WINZ and 20 ECE<br />

available to trade and individual buyers. And if<br />
they don’t have it in stock in their own large<br />
inventory, they can source new or used parts at<br />
your request from around New Zealand.<br />

replacement engine or body panels, or it just<br />
needs window clips, the knowledgeable teams<br />
at Eruocare and Eurorec can supply or track<br />
down the correct part for your model and<br />
year. When dismantling a vehicle, they make<br />
sure they rescue and restore as many parts as<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get rid of dampness<br />
in your house<br />
noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways to<br />
make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy<br />
for their families throughout winter. rISIng<br />
DAMP is an issue that affects many of our<br />
older properties which suffer from poor, or no,<br />
insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated with<br />
health problems. Independent tests have shown<br />
that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the<br />
ground and enter a house every day, leading to<br />
mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells.<br />
Moulds can produce various allergic reactions<br />
and the frail, elderly and very young are especially<br />
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 />

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508<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 />

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | AUGUST 20<strong>16</strong><br />
The changing shape of EQC<br />
The Earthquake Commission’s work in<br />
Canterbury is entering a new phase as<br />
it settles the final earthquake claims for<br />
the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, says<br />
EQC Chief Executive, Ian Simpson.<br />
“Over the past few months we’ve been<br />
looking closely at what remains to be<br />
done and we will be carefully matching<br />
the workforce to the work that still needs<br />
completing.<br />
As part of this, EQC has developed a<br />
proposal on how EQC will be organised in<br />
2017 to implement its work in Canterbury,<br />
while continuing its national work.”<br />
EQC began consultation with its staff<br />
this week on a proposed smaller structure<br />
for 2017.<br />
“As we make changes over the next few<br />
months, one thing isn’t changing: we will<br />
retain a presence in Canterbury until we<br />
have met our obligations to our customers.<br />
The proposal is for an organisation with<br />
383 positions from January 2017,” Mr<br />
Simpson said.<br />
The proposals for the new structure impact<br />
the 868 EQC people on fixed term<br />
employment agreements to December<br />
20<strong>16</strong> or on contracts for service.<br />
Mr Simpson says the reduction in staff<br />
numbers had been signalled to staff earlier<br />
this year, with more detail given<br />
at EQC staff update sessions in July.<br />
He was grateful for the professionalism<br />
of EQC staff; continuing to achieve key<br />
milestones for Canterbury customers<br />
during a time of change and personal<br />
challenge.<br />
By the end of the year, EQC’s target<br />
is to have:<br />
• completed all of the approximately<br />
67,900 managed home repairs.<br />
• settled all of the approximately 99,000<br />
residential building claims scheduled for<br />
first-time cash settlements.<br />
• settled all of the more than 187,000<br />
contents claims.<br />
• settled green zone land claims for about<br />
73,000 properties.<br />
• resolved 75% of the remedial requests<br />
we had on our books as at 30 June 20<strong>16</strong><br />
• cash settled 90% of the 3,118 drainage<br />
claims we had received by 30 June<br />
20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
• cash settled the 13,985 damage claims<br />
received following the series of quakes<br />
in Canterbury between February and<br />
June 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
Mr Simpson says that what remains to be<br />
done in 2017,is to continue resolving<br />
remedial requests on properties where<br />
EQC has managed a repair, and continue<br />
resolving drainage enquiries.<br />
“The level of work left is of a much smaller<br />
scale than the Canterbury Home Repair<br />
Programme was designed for. We need<br />
a smaller, fit-for-purpose approach to finish<br />
the work,” Mr Simpson said.<br />
“By 2017 we will have a new approach for<br />
handling the remaining work, including<br />
remedial requests. We’re working on the<br />
details of this now, including talking to<br />
Fletcher EQR. We hope we will have a<br />
clearer picture around September,”<br />
Mr Simpson said.<br />
As at 31 July 20<strong>16</strong>:<br />
• there were 238 substantive repairs left,<br />
which we aim to have resolved by the<br />
end of the year.<br />
• there were 335 secondary repairs (such<br />
as garages and chimneys) to do.<br />
There is also a range of administrative and<br />
financial tasks to be completed.<br />
“I know it has not been an easy journey for<br />
some EQC Canterbury customers. We<br />
didn’t get everything right. I’m the first to<br />
admit that. But EQC has worked hard to<br />
learn from its mistakes and improve how<br />
we work not just for Canterbury, but for all<br />
New Zealand,” Mr Simpson said.<br />
Outside of Canterbury, EQC needs to be<br />
ready to respond to any future event and<br />
continues negotiating and managing<br />
natural disaster reinsurance for the country.<br />
EQC will also continue settling the 5,000<br />
to 8,000 natural disaster claims it receives<br />
on average every year, funding research to<br />
a tune of about $<strong>16</strong> million annually, and<br />
educating the public about natural hazards<br />
and how to mitigate these.<br />
Remedial requests<br />
EQC has streamlined its process for handling new<br />
remedial requests from customers received from<br />
1 <strong>August</strong>, 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
EQC Chief Executive, Ian Simpson, says the new process<br />
aims for faster resolution with customers having the<br />
opportunity to provide information upfront and state their<br />
preference for a cash settlement or a managed repair<br />
where remedial work is required.<br />
The changes have been introduced after positive<br />
customer feedback on the process used to manage claims<br />
from the February 20<strong>16</strong> earthquake, where customers had<br />
the opportunity to submit more information upfront to<br />
enable quicker turnaround.<br />
Many customers going through the February 20<strong>16</strong> claims<br />
management process are positive or very positive about<br />
their experience. EQC is now using this approach for new<br />
remedial requests, and customers will be asked to send in<br />
information such as photographs and builders’ quotes.<br />
Although cash settlement will provide a quicker<br />
resolution, it may not suit everyone, Mr Simpson says.<br />
“So if a customer prefers that a contractor do the work,<br />
then EQC will arrange for that to happen. But EQC’s<br />
Community Contact Team and independent customer<br />
advocate groups will be available to support any cashsettled<br />
customers who aren’t confident in sourcing their<br />
own contractors,” he says.<br />
Of the 5,720 open remedial requests, EQC has identified<br />
approximately 1,500 properties that cannot be resolved<br />
through a managed repair before 2017. The new process,<br />
while largely designed for new remedial requests, will be<br />
available to these customers and EQC will be making<br />
contact with them from late <strong>August</strong> to ask if they prefer a<br />
cash settlement or managed repair during 2017.<br />
Customers wanting to discuss remedial requests can<br />
contact EQC by phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243) or email<br />
info@eqc.govt.nz<br />
Drainage<br />
As at June 30 20<strong>16</strong>, EQC had 3,118 drainage damage<br />
enquiries to be resolved. To ensure timely settlement of<br />
these claims, EQC has introduced a panel of licenced<br />
drain layers to identify earthquake damage.<br />
On settlement, customers get a detailed assessment of<br />
the earthquake damage, a documented repair strategy,<br />
and the costing for the repair. EQC expects to resolve<br />
90% of the drainage claims, lodged by 30 June, in 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
EQC is concentrating on resolving as many drainage<br />
claims as possible that were received by June, this year.<br />
The claims received after that date will be resolved<br />
next year.<br />

Topic is death<br />
Local musician, Dizzy Height is proud to<br />
announce the completion of his latest<br />
recording, Passing Shadows.<br />
“It's safe to say that this album is very,<br />
very different and deals with a topic not<br />
many are game to talk about let alone record<br />
an album about, and that is the subject of<br />
death,” says Dizzy Height. “Having worked<br />
as an Embalmer/Funeral Director for 9<br />
years I have seen a lot of death. The<br />
inspiration for the album is based on my<br />
many experiences.”<br />
Consisting of nine tracks, the recording is<br />
said to be a very thought provoking and<br />
inspiring CD.<br />
Written, performed, and produced by<br />
Dizzy Height, the tracks feature a unique<br />
blend of classically inspired pieces infused<br />
with traditional rock guitar.<br />
From the opening title track 'Passing<br />
Shadows' to the final track 'After Life' the<br />
album has a positive theme which<br />
encompasses all the things that most people<br />
have thought about at some stage.<br />
