Success celebrated 

Council 

forced to 

build new 

pump station 

SUCCESS: The top students at 

Christchurch Boys’ High School, St 

Bede’s College and Papanui High 

School were revealed at prize-giving 

ceremonies last week. Devon Harding 

(above left) won the deans scholar for 

top all-rounder while George Young 

(right) was awarded dux at CBHS. James 

McCrea (top right) of St Bede’s and 

Papanui’s Juliet McLachlan were also 

awarded dux of their schools.

A NEW $7.4 million pump station 

will be built in Harewood to 

replace a shallow well at risk of 

contamination. 

The city council will build the 

pump station on the site of its 

Harewood Nursery on Gardiners 

Rd, with work hoped to begin in 

February. 

It will replace the previous Harewood 

Pump Station, which would 

be decommissioned as part of the 

work. 

It was less than 26m deep, taking 

water from an unconfined aquifer, 

which made it at risk of contamination. 

The new pump station would also 

provide for growth in the northwest 

of the city, specifically the 

Upper Styx residential greenfield 

development area. 

City council three waters and 

waste planning and delivery manager 

John Moore said the work 

was part of its well replacement 

programme. 

He said the city council had an 

agreement with the Ministry of 

Health to decommission its shallow 

wells in the north-west of the city by 

June 30, 2018. 

“The council has accelerated its 

well replacement programme and 

by March 2017 no shallow wells will 

be used unless needed to provide 

additional water for peak demand 

during summer or for fire fighting. “ 

Once the Gardiners water supply 

pump station was built, the well 

replacement programme would be 

complete and there would be no 

need to use the shallow wells, he 

said. 

The new station would have two 

wells, a suction tank and water 

delivery pumps within a new 

building, emergency generator and 

pipelines to connect to the existing 

water supply network, he said. 

It is expected to be completed by 

June 2018.

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News..............................3, 5, 13 

IN TODAY’S paper we 

celebrate our young people who 

have worked so hard over the 

past year, not just academically, 

but in culture and sports. 

Pages 6, 7, 8 have the prizegiving 

lists for St Bede’s College, 

Papanui High School and 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

and, in the coming weeks, we 

will also publish results of other 

high schools in the area. 

Congratulations to all 

students who have been recognised. 

Meanwhile, over at Selwyn 

House School (page 3), they are 

taking learning up a notch by 

teaching mechatronics to all pupils 

from pre-school to year 8. 

Basically, that means a combination 

of science, engineering, 

mathematics, with a bit of robotics. 

Very impressive indeed.

Looking for the next IT genius 

• By Andrew King 

SELWYN HOUSE School 

believes it could have the next 

Mark Zuckerberg in their 

midst. 

From next year, all pupils 

from the pre-school to year 8 

will be taught mechatronics. 

It brings together science, 

technology, engineering, 

mathematics and a bit of art to 

teach pupils the basics of how 

robotic devices operate. 

Mr Zuckerberg invented 

Facebook in 2004 from 

his dormitory at Harvard 

University in the United States. 

Year 7 pupil Emma Cawood 

has really taken to the 

programming and said it is a 

huge opportunity for her. 

“It allows me to be creative 

because there is really no limit 

to what we can do. It has helped 

me with more knowledge 

in math and is really fun,” she 

said. 

Robotic and coding teacher 

Liz Fairhall said there is a 

massive need for women in 

information technology and 

this would provide a great 

pathway. 

“It really is going to push 

these girls into seeing that IT is 

an option as a career for them,” 

she said. 

“Pupils are so lucky today 

with the technologies available 

to them and we want them to 

be given the opportunity to 

make the most of it,” she said. 

The goal of the programme is 

to teach the students a gradual 

progression of skills during their 

time at school until they have 

enough knowledge to build from 

scratch their own gadget in year 8. 

Mechatronics teacher Simon 

Christie said it will answer the 

question commonly asked by 

pupils – why do I need to know 

this? 

“Allowing pupils to put 

together a project using math, 

science and engineering shows 

them why they have spent time 

learning about those subjects,” 

he said. 

They will be setup in a 

technology hub, known as ‘The 

THE 

FUTURE:

In Brief 

BOTTLE STORE PETITION 

A petition to stop a liquor licence at 

2A Trafford St, Harewood, has attracted 

1100 signatures and is ready 

to be presented at an up-coming 

hearing. The date of that hearing, 

which will determine if the licence 

can be granted, has not yet been 

determined. Public submissions objecting 

or supporting it closed today. 

Residents Colin Fussell and Aaron 

Bree knocked on doors, informing 

their neighbours and others on the 

surrounding streets about the plan. 

They said they’ve received an overwhelming 

response. The applicant of 

the licence said he will not pull the 

application and will await the result 

of the hearing. 

ROAD CLOSURE 

Francis Ave will be closed between 

property numbers two and 11 for the 

next two weeks while earthquakedamaged 

wastewater infrastructure 

is repaired. Parking on the street will 

not be available immediately next to 

the work area and ‘no parking’ cones 

will be in place. 

WORK STARTS 

Work has started on the Northern 

Corridor. The new section of the 

northern motorway will be built 

to the east of Belfast, between the 

Waimakariri River and Cranford 

St, to provide relief for commuters 

travelling into the city. It is expected 

to be finished by 2020.

Dudley Creek upgrade 

This week’s 

column by 

Innes city 

councillor 

Pauline Cotter 

looks at the 

how the 

upgrade of 

the once flood 

prone Dudley Creek has led 

to ecological benefits 

Dudley Creek is usually a 

fairly gentle flowing creek that 

meanders through much of 

Shirley. 

However, as part of the mayoral 

task force recommendations 

Dudley has received a major 

upgrade to enable a much larger 

capacity for water flow during 

heavy rain events. 

Improvements include the 

removal of very dense plantings 

along the banks, widening the 

banks, and replacing bridges and 

culverts. 

But the real win here is that 

the city council has taken this 

opportunity to add significantly 

to the ecology of the creek, 

especially in the area from Hills 

Rd through Slater, Chancellor Sts 

and Julius Tce. 

Take a stroll along there and 

you will see the creek now has 

beautiful rock edging, new 

plantings of native trees such as 

ti kouka, black beech, 

ribbonwood, horoeka, kowhai to 

name a few. 

The planting of native trees 

closer to the creek is beneficial 

because they do not create as 

much shade as exotics, do not 

shed their leaves all at the same 

time and can cope with wet 

conditions, because the creek 

is designed to flood into its 

surrounding area. 

It’s wonderful to see that silt 

has been removed, and rock 

caves and eel pipes have been 

installed to increase the eel and 

fish diversity. 

The St Albans creek is also 

seeing similar type of treatment 

between Stapeltons Rd and Hills 

Rd. 

We now have a new and still 

evolving jewel in the crown of 

Innes, another example of seizing 

opportunity from challenging 

events, and I encourage you to 

visit this area of the creek to 

appreciate its beauty. 

Student scholarships 

ST BEDE’S students Ben 

Mattingly and Justin Lee have 

been offered University of Otago 

scholarships worth $45,000. 

It’s the first time a St Bede’s 

student has been offered the 

scholarship. 

The university’s academic 

excellence entrance scholarship 

recognises academic ability and 

leadership capabilities. 

School dux James McCrea also 

has offers from Otago, Canterbury 

and Victoria universities. 

Sixteen students have been 

offered 28 scholarships in the 

past two months and further 

applications are pending. 

It’s the largest number of 

offers made to the school’s 

students. 

Oliver Davidson has been 

offered the University of Otago 

performance entrance scholarship 

valued at $16,000 over three 

years. 

Oliver had roles in several 

professional productions around 

the city this year, including 

Evita, Hairspray and Mamma 

Mia. 

University of Otago received 

more than 3000 applications for 

its scholarships.

Rubberware factory opened 

• By Sam Pickering 

A NEW rubberware company 

opened in Wigram last week in a 

bid to boost the dairy industry. 

Skellerup celebrated the 

opening of its new $60 million 

company with Prime Minister 

John Key dropping by to see the 

new 19,000m 2 facility. 

The company had struggled 

after their old site in Woolston 

sustained damage in the earthquake. 

Skellerup chief executive David 

Mair said he was confident 

the factory will be a platform for 

future growth. 

“People said we should move 

to China, that didn’t actually 

stack up. So the great thing 

about this is there is a really 

good future here in Christchurch. 

“We are 4.7 million people at 

the bottom of the world. Most 

people don’t know us. Yet we 

are winning business in the US 

because our products are better 

and we can deliver better,” he 

said. 

The facility was acquired by 

Skellerup in May 2013 from Wigram 

Business Park developers 

and Ngai Tahu property. 

Skellerup staff said they were 

stoked to be staying in the city 

during a tough period after the 

earthquakes.

new premises. 

Move for business complete 

FAMILY-OWNED Switched 

On is the first business to move 

to the new Belfast Business Park 

and was opened by Deputy 

Prime Minister Bill English last 

Tuesday. 

The move brings the buiding 

company together for the first 

time, after being accommodated 

in old, villa-style offices in Shirley 

and Wainoni since the earthquakes. 

General manager Chris 

Hughes said the new building 

was a milestone in Switched On’s 

35-year history in Canterbury. 

“This is our first ever purposebuilt 

building. It’s an investment 

in our staff and the region. We 

started out here and we’re confident 

that Christchurch’s future is 

bright,” Mr Hughes said. 

Designed by Walker Architecture, 

with interior design by 

Redesign Group, the building has 

been crafted to reflect the trades 

that make up the business. 

Features such as text-artwork 

made of screws; natural timber 

walls; exposed ceilings; and metal-mesh 

lights further enhance 

the building’s unique, industrial 

look and feel. 

Switched On’s builders, electricians 

and painters have fitted out 

the entire building themselves, 

starting with a pre-cast concrete 

shell in February. 

“Our team have put a lot of hard 

work into this build. We’ve used it 

as an opportunity to not only give 

our staff a more modern working 

environment, but to also show off 

what they can do. Their attention 

to the finer details has been really 

impressive,” he said. 

It’s 1965 and The 

Everly Brothers are 

playing a gig in Wellington. 

Will it be Bye Bye Love 

for Don, Phil and their fans?

Spotted any lonely cones? 

There are a lot of lost, lonely road cones out there. We want to bring them home. 

We’re tidying up the streets as the SCIRT programme winds down. 

Please help us track down stray cones no longer on the job. We’ll put them back to 

work, or send them off to the giant cone melting pot in the sky. 

The CONEMOBILE is coming your way. 

SCIRT’s CONEMOBILE is hitting the streets to collect any road cones that have gone 

astray. Let us know if you’ve spotted a lost or wayward cone.

championships recently. They received merit awards for presentation, technical execution and 

creativity. They were also the only team to get a distinction award for their costumes. 

Nicole said achieving the 

award was about more than 

receiving a badge, it was 

about self-improvement and 

gaining valuable experience. 

“I have learnt many 

things through my involvement 

with Duke of Edinburgh, 

but what I will take 

away is the motivation and 

confidence I developed to 

try new things,” she said. 

“While I wanted to

Sixty outstanding architect-designed new New Zealand homes. 

John Walsh and Patrick Reynolds are back with their third handsome New Zealand 

residential architecture book, which this time covers 60 projects built since 2007 and ranging 

from the small — baches, studios and apartments—through to the big—substantial new 

residences and conversions, homes with budgets to match their scale. 

Walsh and Reynolds have track records as New Zealand’s preeminent architectural writer 

and photographer respectively. This time they are joined by a team of eminently well 

qualified contributing writers who, under John Walsh’s editorial supervision, bring together a 

very significant survey of residential architecture endeavour in recent years. 

Thoughtfully written, beautifully photographed and handsomely produced, this massive 

book is unrivalled. Complete with plans, and enormously comprehensive, it is both a 

celebration and a sourcebook of New Zealand’s best architectural work.

Promoting student voice 

aim of Rangi magazine 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

launched its first magazine 

written, edited and designed 

solely by its students last week 

and already more than 240 copies 

have been sold. 

It is titled Shelter and promotes 

student voices, reflecting the 

diverse thinking and content 

created by girls from all levels of 

the school. 

The first issue is called the 

Respect Edition, and explores 

treatment of others, expression of 

thought, interactions and how respect 

can be more widely applied. 

The concept of student-generated 

magazines isn’t a new one, 

however, in recent years these 

publications have declined dramatically. 

It is believed that Rangi Ruru 

will now be the only school in 

the country to produce a 

magazine solely directed by its 

students. 

Head of media students Jude 

Morgan said this is not only 

due to the cost but also to the 

introduction of digital and social 

media. 

Editor Mollie Carruthers said 

she jumped at the chance to work 

on the project because it gives a 

voice to students who might not 

SCHOOLS 

otherwise have the confidence to 

express themselves publicly. 

“Being a quiet person myself 

I’m proud to be a part of something 

that is ‘right up my alley’, 

in the sense it isn’t about being 

a certain personality or a public 

speaker,” she said. 

“A strong voice is not always 

one that is loud.” 

Miss Carruthers said she is really 

proud of the first edition and 

is excited to share the magazine 

with the school’s current community 

and alumnae.

$165,000 plan to manage old trees 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

ABOUT $165,000 will be spent 

developing a plan looking at 

ways to mitigate the effects of the 

city’s ageing tree population. 

The city council decided to 

write an Urban Tree and Forest 

Plan to plan how to manage trees 

in the future. 

It will look at ways to deal with 

the ageing population, climate 

change, urban heating, transport-related 

greenhouse gases 

and airborne pollutants, and 

ways to support Christchurch’s 

garden city image. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the plan, 

which will be completed in 2018, 

will provide “strategic direction” 

to deal with those factors. 

He said older trees could be 

managed by removing branches, 

or placing a mulch layer over the 

roots, however, it became costly 

the further the tree declined. 

“If trees decline to the point 

that personal health and 

safety may be at risk we act 

accordingly.” 

Meanwhile, the city council 

has spent more than $257,000 

over the past year on reports and 

assessments of trees. 

Figures released under the 

Local Government Official 

Information and Meetings Act 

showed from August 2015 to 

REPORT: This smaller tree 

at Edmonds Park had to be 

assessed for the Bells Creek 

flood mitigation scheme. 

August 2016, $257,872 was spent 

on these reports. 

That figure related to 

assessments done for any reason, 

not just in relation to tree 

removals. 

In July, the city council set 

aside $30,000 for carrying out 

tree assessments at Bells Creek 

in Woolston, as part of the flood 

mitigation scheme. 

City council land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said, to 

date, $11,553 had been spent on 

arborist services for the $9 million 

project. 

He said that included the 

in-house assessment of 317 trees 

across five sites. Thirteen of those 

trees were removed and replaced. 

The work was done to see what 

condition the trees affected by 

the work were in, and whether 

the scheme could be designed 

around them, Mr Davison said. 

Three reports and a 

memorandum were produced 

from the work. In all cases, 

the city council’s operational 

arborist team conducts its own 

assessment on the trees first. 

Additionally, it may 

commission an independent 

arborist for a report to get a peer 

review, during high demand 

periods, in relation to significant 

trees, or for trees in heritage 

parks. 

A tree survey of the Avon 

River’s stopbanks in June was 

costed at $8798, while tree 

condition surveys along Dudley 

Creek was costed at $5416. 

July was the most expensive 

year for tree reports, costing 

$60,708, while in August, $27,334 

was spent.

Our People 


Architect helps rebuild communities 

Entrepreneur Camia Young, 42, settled in 

Christchurch in the aftermath of the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. Fraser Walker-Pearce 

talks to the American architect about her 

passion for rebuilding the city 

Tell me what you were doing 

when you first arrived in New 

Zealand? 

I arrived five years ago and 

was teaching architecture at the 

University of Auckland. During 

that time, we brought more than 

1000 students to Christchurch to 

help with the rebuild and I did 

that until about a year or so ago. 

I was flying from Christchurch 

to Auckland on a Monday and 

coming back on the Wednesday. 

I would do that every week and I 

got super tired. I loved teaching, 

it was such a good time. 

During your time at the university, 

were you still involved 

with Christchurch? 

In the middle of that teaching 

we did Gap Filler’s pallet pavilion, 

which took place over the 

course of a summer and winter. 

It was up for two years, so that 

was a treasure of a project. And 

during setting that up, I caught 

a bug – it was a good bug, but a 

bug nonetheless. The bug taught 

me about building communities 

through building buildings. It 

wasn’t about the pavilion it was 

about the community around 

the pavilion that made it work. 

It was about a healing place for 

the community to gather around 

after the earthquakes. 

And what after that? 

Then I started a project called 

Exchange Christchurch, XCHC. 

X stands for exchange and CHC 

is Christchurch’s airport code. 

And we will be doing Exchange 

Auckland, which will be XAKL 

and Exchange Wellington which 

will be XWLG. So there are other 

initiatives coming as well. It 

provides a place for people that 

have lost a lot in the earthquakes, 

a place to create and produce 

their creative work and develop 

their creative practice. 

Great, so what can people see 

at XCHC at the moment? 

At the moment we have a 

jeweller, a painter, a composer, 

a few photographers, an 

architectural designer and art 

exhibitions that change weekly. 

So would you say you’ve been 

quite involved with the rebuild 

of the city? 

I’ve been more involved in the 

social side of the rebuild more 

than anything. What I’ve been 

doing is learning by doing while 

I’m here. This will absolutely 

be a 21st century city where it’s 

not so much about the next big 

icon, but where the people will 

come first and the buildings will 

be a by-product of that. I have 

confidence in the people. 

Right, and where in the city 

are you based? 

I’m mostly at the exchange 

in the central city, but I own 

a place out in Lyttelton. I love 

Lyttelton, but I also love Sumner, 

New Brighton, places with a 

cool community feel. I much 

prefer the speed of small than 

the big city stuff, you can get 

so much more done in small 

communities. I actually live up in 

Mt Pleasant and I quite like that. 

And you have a slight accent 

there – is it American? 

Yes. I was born in Colorado 

and those mountains still call 

to me. I’m from Aspen. It’s the 

Rocky Mountains that get me. 

New Zealand has a really strong 

connection with nature as well. 

I left when I was younger and 

lived in Europe for 11 years, 

studied in London, then worked 

in Rotterdam (Netherlands), 

Paris (France), Madrid (Spain) 

and Basel (Switzerland). It was 

great, I was practicing there as an 

architect. 

There must have been some 

incredible projects in the likes 

of Paris? 

There was one project in Paris 

– it’s the only time I’ve ever cried 

ENTREPRENEUR: Camia Young moved to Christchurch to 

use her skills as an architect to help rebuild the city after the 

earthquakes. 

when we lost a project. It still 

hurts to this day. I fell in love 

with it. It’s where I learned to 

dream with the intent to realise 

the dream. It’s easy to come up 

with an idea, it’s expensive to 

execute them. 

I’d imagine it would be. Have 

you been anywhere other than 

America, Europe and New 

Zealand? 

I’m also a Brazilian resident. 

My father lives there. I spend 

a bit of time there and I speak 

Portuguese as well. He lives in 

northern Brazil. He built a selfsustaining 

home in the middle 

of the sand dunes. He’s lived 

without electricity for the last 25 

years and now has solar power. 

He’s a hippy in the middle of a 

desert. So he’s my inspiration for 

a lot of things. 

That’s pretty incredible. Do 

you have a project that, once 

completed, you’ll be happy to 

retire and put your feet up? 

No. I don’t really have an 

end-game. I love seeing positive 

change. And I think we’re all 

inherently creative, to see that 

work done is the road and the 

end for me. 

Where did you spend your 

school years? 

Up through secondary I 

was in Aspen, elementary and 

high school. Then I did my 

undergraduate at University 

of Colorado and graduated 

as valedictorian and went 

on to get a masters in Los 

Angeles at SCIARC, the 

Southern California Institute of 

Architecture. In three years, I got 

two masters degrees, rather than 

two and a half for one masters, 

which it could’ve been. Then I 

practiced architecture in Europe 

for 11 years across the board 

there. 

Do you have any family over 

here in Christchurch? 

No, no family here, I fly solo. 

I have lots of love, I miss them, 

miss the mountains, too. But 

some family has come out while 

I’m here, though. Mum and dad 

have been out. My sister uses 

the old ‘if you don’t eat your 

vegetables, you won’t be able to 

go visit Aunty Camia’ on her two 

kids. They’re super-excited to 

visit as well. 

Was it always an intention of 

yours to come to Christchurch? 

Not at all. I was looking for 

change from working in a 

corporate office. As much as I 

loved my life in Europe, I wanted 

to find somewhere I could do 

my own thing. A friend of mine 

who is a Kiwi offered to bring me 

in to teach at the University of 

Auckland, which was about three 

months before the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. Then 

that entire year course became 

focused on the earthquake and 

on Christchurch. I had never 

taught and I had never been to 

Christchurch, but I was looking 

for a new home and so I came 

a month before the course 

was due to start and I walked 

Christchurch for that month and 

then went up to teach the course. 

I knew in that month that I 

would stay here. I was looking 

at a couple of other countries 

around the world – Brazil, 

Canada – but I couldn’t do it. 

What are some of your 

first memories stepping into 

Christchurch post-earthquake? 

It was late 2011, so it was 

post-apocalyptic. I thought 

immediately I was in way over 

my head and I thought I was 

naive in the fact that I thought 

I could make a difference. But 

after phoning my dad about it, 

I decided I would stay. I started 

really walking the city and 

learning as much as I possibly 

could about it. I ended up getting 

my visa through the job in 

Auckland and now I’m here. But 

that month, it was really scary 

for me because I had never seen 

a crisis on that scale before and I 

didn’t know what to do. 

Must have been pretty 

terrifying. Had you experienced 

an earthquake before that? 

I think I remember maybe one 

earthquake when I was in Aspen, 

but when I was in LA there was 

a few. But nothing compared 

to when I came here, and they 

happened so often back then.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | NOVEMBER 2016 

EQC pays $495 million in the past year to 

settle Canterbury claims 

EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson 

The Earthquake Commission paid 

out nearly half a billion dollars to 

settle claims in Canterbury in the 

year to 30 June 2016, its recently 

released annual report shows. 

The annual report includes lots of detail 

about the work EQC has been carrying 

out in Canterbury in the past year. 

Figures in the report show that in the 

2015/16 financial year, EQC paid out 

$495 million in claims for the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquake sequence. 

This total was made up of $441 million 

for residential building claims (both for 

cash settlements and managed repairs), 

$46 million for residential land claims 

and $8 million for contents claims. 

IN THE 

FINANCIAL YEAR 

TO 

30 JUNE 2016 EQC PAID OUT 

$495 MILLION 

MADE UP OF $441 MILLION 

FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CLAIMS, 

$46 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL 

LAND CLAIMS AND $8 MILLION 

FOR CONTENTS CLAIMS. 

EQC has now spent $9.4 billion 

(including claim handling expenses, 

excluding GST) in its response to the 

2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. 

This sum has been financed from the 

Natural Disaster Fund and by the 

reinsurance cover EQC had negotiated 

prior to the earthquakes. 

EQC recovered about $444 million 

of the cost of Canterbury claims, 

largely from international reinsurers, 

in 2015/16. 

EQC also paid out $25 million for claims 

other than those from the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquakes. This includes 

$4.7 million for claims from the 

February 2016 earthquakes. 

AT 30 JUNE 2016, 

EQC HAD 

COMPLETED 

REPAIRS 

ON MORE THAN 67,000 HOMES, 

SETTLED 187,000 CONTENTS 

CLAIMS, COMPLETED CLAIMS 

FOR LAND DAMAGE TO 

66,000 PROPERTIES. 

In Canterbury, as at 30 June 2016, EQC 

had completed repairs on more than 

67,000 homes, settled 187,000 

contents claims and completed claims 

for land damage to 66,000 properties. 

“By the end of the year we aim to 

have cash settled the more than 

14,000 claims from the February 2016 

earthquakes,” says Chief Executive 

Ian Simpson. 

Mr Simpson reaffirmed EQC’s ongoing 

commitment to Canterbury in 2017. 

“In the upcoming year, EQC will 

continue to be present in Canterbury 

resolving remedial requests on 

properties where we have managed a 

repair. There is also a range of 

administrative and financial tasks to be 

completed.” 

AS AT 30 JUNE 2016, 

EQC HAD PAID OUT 

$9.4 BILLION 

IN RESPONSE TO THE 2010-2011 

CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES. 

THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE 

NATURAL DISASTER FUND 

AND REINSURANCE. 

Mr Simpson says that EQC has adequate 

funds to continue to operate and to meet 

its financial obligations and settle claims. 

“There is always a high level of 

uncertainty when it comes to settling 

claims. For instance with home repairs, 

the true extent of damage may only 

become clear once repairs begin and 

tradies start ripping off weatherboards 

or lifting floorboards. 

IN ADDITION, 

AS AT 30 JUNE 2016 

EQC HAD PAID OUT 

$4.7 MILLION 

FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE 

FEBRUARY 2016 EARTHQUAKES 

IN CANTERBURY. 

“Because of this uncertainty, we have 

built a margin into our estimates of what 

the Canterbury claims will cost. 

“In the event that we did need to use all 

of this margin, the Crown has confirmed 

in writing that it will meet its obligations 

under the Earthquake Commission Act to 

ensure that EQC can meet all its liabilities 

as they fall due,” Mr Simpson says. 

The EQC Annual Report shows that EQC 

received about $280 million in premiums 

and spent $210 million on expenses, 

excluding claims payments and claims 

handling expenses for the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquake sequence. 

“Our largest expense was the $150 

million in premiums for reinsurance, 

which currently provides New Zealand 

with access to $4.69 billion in cover 

for natural disasters, once the cost of 

these events exceeds the deductible,” 

Mr Simpson says.

2015/16 can be downloaded from the 

EQC website. 

Canterbury students 

head to Chile for 

earthquake conference 

Five engineering students from University of Canterbury will be 

attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering 

(16WCEE) in Chile this January thanks to sponsorship from EQC and 

the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineers (NZSEE). 

EQC’s Research Strategy and Investment Manager Richard Smith says the 

sponsorship goes partway to supporting students and practitioners to 

attend the conference, which is the preeminent gathering of engineers 

involved in seismic resistant design. 

“WCEE is to earthquake engineers what the Olympics are to sport. This 

opportunity gives these students exposure to ideas and knowledge from 

around the globe as well as the chance to forge international connections 

that will be of value to their research and to New Zealand. 

“EQC plays an important role in funding and facilitating research about 

natural hazard risk. Part of that is making sure we have researchers within 

New Zealand who have the capability to undertake that research.” 

Mechanical engineering PhD student Jarrod Cook says the chance to 

attend 16WCEE will be invaluable. “I’m exploring ways a ratcheting, 

tension-only device can reduce the motion experienced by buildings 

during an earthquake, and therefore limit the damage and impact to 

people as well as enabling buildings to stay open after the event. WCEE is 

the premier conference in earthquake engineering so this is a great way 

to share my ideas, get critical feedback and see what others are doing.” 

WCEE is held every four years and provides attendees with the 

opportunity for a global exchange of knowledge, ideas, research 

results and practical experience. As well as students from Canterbury, 

EQC and NZSEE are jointly sponsoring the attendance of five students 

from Auckland University and four industry representatives from across 

New Zealand. 

From left to right: Jarrod Cook, Pavan Aninthaneni and Amir Malek are three of 

five University of Canterbury students heading to Chile for the World Conference 

on Earthquake Engineering this January.

Race week tips for the boys 

• By Annabelle Dick 

THE BOLDER the better – that 

seems to be the mantra for 

men’s NZ Cup and Show Week 

fashion. 

By no means am I an expert 

in men’s fashion, so I called 

into a few menswear stores 

to see what’s been flying off 

the shelves in preparation for 

Christchurch’s biggest event on 

the fashion calendar. 

At 3 Wise Men in the Re:Start 

container mall, it’s all about the 

shirt. 

Block colour and patterned 

dress shirts have been a popular 

favourite for race day. 

“There’s a lot of checks this 

year. Like check shirts and bold 

colours, not so much plain,” said 

store manager Jess Edwards. 

“I’d go for a bright, colourful 

shirt like bright green or pink 

with a navy suit.” 

In the suit department, long 

gone are the days of the classic 

cut black suit – navies, greys and 

patterns have been selling out 

this season. 

“Maybe a bit of texture or 

really subtle checks, but mostly 

navy and grey,” Miss Edwards 

said. 

Bonus: There are almost no 

RACE DAY READY: Mix up your suit texture like these young 

men at the New Zealand Trotting Cup last year by sporting a 

pattern on your suit jacket.

coloured shirts that don’t match 

navy or grey. 

At Meccano Riccarton, 

they’ve been noticing the suit 

and shirt trend, too. 

“Men are going for quite 

bold patterns and they want 

something a bit more edgy. We 

have a few floral shirts at the 

moment and people have been 

gravitating towards those quite 

intense patterns,” sales assistant 

Claudia Copeland said. 

“We haven’t sold many black 

suits either – charcoal grey and 

navy have been popular.” 

She said men are changing it 

up this year by opting for a waist 

coat instead of a jacket, or swapping 

suit pants for a more casual 

chino. 

“There’s been a lot of mix and 

matching going on this season,” 

Miss Copeland said. 

When it comes to ties, you’ll 

get away with ditching it if 

you’ve chosen a busy shirt. 

“Where people can get away 

with not wearing a tie, they 

won’t. That’s why they’ve been 

going for the boldly patterned 

shirts, because it’s easier to get 

away with not wearing one,” 

Miss Copeland said. 

Now you’ve got the suit 

pinned down, you need footwear 

to match. 

Alert: Black won’t work with a 

navy or grey suit. Save them for 

funeral and weddings and pair 

your outfit with shoes in brown 

hues. 

“Brown shoes have been very 

popular with the brogue detail. 

We have suede boots in at the 

moment that have been really 

popular. People have been opting 

for that instead of the classic 

black,” Miss Edwards said.

Boys’ High in national cup 

CHAMPIONS: Breens Intermediate won gold in a water polo 

competition in Dunedin recently. After five wins in pool play, 

the A grade team went on to beat Tahuna in the semi-final and 

then Cobham Intermediate in the final. Sports co-ordinator 

Jono Collins said they are extremely proud of this success. “It 

has been four years of hard work and dedication by our players 

and parent support crew. We continue to go from strength to 

strength in sport at Breens,” he said.

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School’s first XI booked its 

spot in the country’s biggest 

secondary school tournament 

after defeating St Andrew’s 

College at Hagley Oval. 

The Secondary School Boys’ 

First XI Cup – formerly known 

as the Gillette Cup – is a weeklong 

tournament held annually at 

Lincoln University. The country’s 

top six secondary school cricket 

teams contest the tournament 

after winning their regional 

qualifying competition. 

Christchurch BHS and St Andrew’s 

played in the Canterbury 

qualifying final last week. St 

Andrew’s were first to bat and 

found itself struggling at 54/3 

after 25 overs. 

Christchurch BHS bowler 

Josh Mariu was instrumental in 

restricting the run rate, going for 

just six runs from six overs. 

St Andrew’s picked up the run 

rate when Sam Gilbert came to 

the crease. He top scored with a 

knock of 62, scoring at a rate of 

almost a run a ball to help his 

team through to a total of 183/6 

from their 50 overs. 

The opening pair of Sandford 

ANCHOR: Year 11 batsman 

Louie Chapman saw 

Christchurch BHS home 

with a knock of 66 not out. 

Heard and Ben Hartland got 

Christchurch BHS off to a fast 

start, both scoring in the 20s to 

have the chase at 53/2 after 10 

overs. Jack Turner and Louie 

Chapman then steadied the ship 

with scores of 52 and 66 not out 

respectively. 

Chapman hit the winning 

run in the 48th over as his team 

wrapped up a seven wicket win. 

“The boys are absolutely 

fizzing; this is what we’ve been 

building up for all year. I was 

just happy to get a few runs out 

there,” said Chapman. 

Christchurch BHS will now 

join the five other regional qualifiers 

at the national tournament, 

which runs from December 5-9. 

They last won the tournament in 

2014. 

FC Twenty 11 reach semis 

in youth tournament 

THE FC Twenty 11 under-19 

boys’ football team came 

agonisingly close to an 

appearance in the final of a youth 

championship in Napier. 

The team lost 1-2 to eventual 

winner Onehunga Sports in 

the semi-final of the National 

Under-19 Youth Championships 

Satellite over Labour weekend. 

The team was five minutes 

away from forcing extra time 

before their hopes were dashed 

by a late goal. 

FC Twenty 11 also had a boys 

and girls’ team in the final at 

the South Island Under-19 

Tournament at Cuthberts Green. 

With the boys in Napier coming 

within reach of achieving the 

same mark, it could have been a 

day to remember for the club. 

The under-19 boys’ team was 

unbeaten in pool play, scoring 

21 goals in five games, while 

conceding only three. 

They scored three more goals 

in their quarter and semi-final 

matches and conceded two. 

Overall, in seven matches, they 

scored 24 goals with five against. 

“The boys were excellent 

throughout the weekend and 

whilst bitterly disappointed we 

didn’t reach the final, they can 

be very proud of their efforts,” 

said FC Twenty 11 under-19 boys’ 

coach Boyd Kedzlie. 

FC Twenty 11’s Jacob Richards 

was voted tournament MVP.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

“Beautiful healthy 

teeth for life” 

At St Albans Dental Centre one of 

the key measures of their success is the 

number of patients they treat through to 

older age with natural teeth and gums 

with the supporting tissue intact. 

They strive (in line with their motto) 

to keep these tissues healthy and as 

beautiful as possible, and where damage 

has occurred, from decay, wear, erosion 

or accident, they carefully repair it with 

tooth-like materials in an attempt to 

recreate the original form and function of 

these teeth. 

St Albans Dental Centre is a general 

dental practice looking after all dental 

requirements while specialising in ‘Cerec’ 

ceramic repair, sedation dentistry (for 

those who don’t want to know about it) 

and wisdom teeth extractions. 

The practice believes in and practises 

‘preventative’ dentistry, which aims to 

help patients prevent disease rather than 

fixing the damage once it has occurred. 

They also believe in and practise ‘minimal 

intervention dentistry’, meaning they 

minimise the damage to natural tooth 

tissue when repair is undertaken. 

They are a team of dedicated dentists 

and hygienists, who provide professional, 

high-quality dental care to their patients 

and the community. 

They are very sad to have lost Dr 

Freddie Linterman from the team as he 

decided to retire at the end of October. . 

Dr Linterman joined the St Albans Dental 

Centre after the 2010 earthquake rendered 

his central city practice unusable. He has 

had a long and distinguished career in 

dentistry caring for his many dedicated 

patients and he will be sorely missed by 

one and all. Everyone on the team wishes 

Freddie all the best for his retirement. 

Dr Kristine Bettle has rejoined the 

team after a break for maternity leave and 

is currently working two days a week. 

Kristine is looking forward to treating 

both new and existing patients. 

St Albans Dental Centre welcomes a 

new hygienist, Petria Waitzer, who is 

working alongside Victoria Ryan. Petria 

has relocated from Auckland with her 

husband, where she worked in both 

specialist and general dentistry. She is 

passionate about providing oral health 

care tailored to individual needs. She is a 

very experienced hygienist with a strong 

focus on preventative and periodontal 

dentistry. 

For any concern, questions or to make 

an appointment at St Albans Dental 

Centre, please call (03) 355 9380 and 

one of the friendly receptionists will be 

happy to assist with any dental enquiry.

Learning first aid is not only a 

part of ensuring a safe work place, but also 

an integral part of our engagement with 

the wider community. We all learn the 

necessary skills to ensure that in times of 

emergency we are able to assist our work 

colleagues, but are we able to take these 

skills home, into the community or on to 

the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and 

the injury risk for each place can be wide 

and variable. The office attended by 

administrators does not carry the same 

risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance 

from a regular ambulance service. it is 

therefore essential that you pick the right 

first aid course to suit all of your activities – 

both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who 

does not have a high risk work environment 

and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial 

injuries, or the ability to perform effective 

CPr. These skills

can be achieved on a 

course of eight hours 

duration and would 

generally fit into 

low to medium risk 

area. But take this 

same person on to a 

sports field either as 

a spectator or player 

when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 

and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not 

cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye 

injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of 

the work place, in fact one in three injuries 

occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. 

new Zealand children are twice as likely 

to die through injury as children who live 

in australia. They mostly die as a result 

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the 

home. fatalities from leisure and sport are 

not far behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the 

additional unit standard 6400 and provides 

a wide knowledge base for medium to high 

risk environments. This course covers many 

of the skills required to deal with the most 

common injuries, such as falls (which can 

result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and 

dealing with complex scenes such as motor 

vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best 

suited to your needs, ask your accredited 

first aid training provider. They can explain 

the course content and give you options 

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond 

the workplace and consider your family and 

your location. Check that you have a good 

quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with 

replenished items, and that everyone knows 

where it is located.

An exciting career 

in Automotive 

Southern Institute of Technology 

(SIT) graduate Janaka Liyanapathirana’s 

childhood love of cars has seen him excel 

to an exciting career in Automotive. 

Janaka completed the Certificate in 

Automotive Engineering in Christchurch 

in October and, after being recognised for 

his overall outstanding efforts throughout 

the course, has graduated with a prized 

welding helmet gifted by BOC. 

“I was really surprised about the award, 

it was so unexpected,” he said. 

Coming to New Zealand to pursue his 

dream of becoming a mechanic, Janaka 

said he tried different automotive courses 

around the country but only found the 

right course for him at SIT. 

“I was so lucky to find the right place, the 

right course and the right tutors [at SIT], 

from all of the other places where I tried 

within NZ,” 

“The best opportunity the course gave 

me was the live practical experience and 

institutions with proper techniques from 

the tutors who are qualified and have long 

term experience in the same trade.” 

Janaka said he has already received an 

opportunity to enter the workforce and 

start his career. 

“I think I have followed the right track, 

by the time I finished I got a job offer from 

the biggest car company in Christchurch, 

so I have already planned to join them and 

enjoy working with what I have studied.”

Help your child grow 

in confidence 

Life skills programme for children. 

Do your children lack self-confidence, or 

perhaps have so much energy that they need 

an outlet for it? Development through drama 

is the ideal approach to teach confidence 

and channel youthful energy while building 

self-esteem. 

The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has 

been in New Zealand for 32 years. This highly 

regarded worldwide programme helps 

students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their potential by 

acting confidently and speaking clearly. This 

unique, self-development programme helps 

achieve invaluable life skills. The confident, 

articulate child makes friends easily, accepts 

challenges and new directions. Confident 

children become well-rounded adults. 

Our fully qualified teachers are trained 

in the Helen O’Grady Drama system, 

they ensure each child is encouraged 

and valued in a warm, positive learning 

environment. Lessons stimulate and 

motivate students without the exam or 

peer group pressure. Weekly class activities 

include speech training, creative movement 

and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre 

programme encourages the development of 

leadership and organisational skills. Three 

terms of the year cover the self-development 

programme and in the fourth term all 

students prepare a performance for parents 

and friends. We also offer Trinity College 

London examinations as an option for 

those who wish to pursue an international 

qualification. 

Our safe structured learning environment 

values student individuality and encourages 

team building. Most importantly its great 

fun too!
