Landscaping U-turn by BP
on neighbouring property
• By Gabrielle Stuart
and Andrew King
EDGEWARE BP has agreed to
plant trees around it’s newlyredeveloped
site – but no-one has
told the neighbour who raised
the concern.
Cornwall St resident Kazu
Kano and other neighbours
spent more than six months
trying to fight the expansion
of the BP, but the plan was
approved at a resource consent
hearing heard by commissioner
David Mountfort.
Where there was once a row of
established trees, Mr Kano’s view
now is of a 20m long, almost 5m
high white wall just behind the
boundary fence, which reflects
glare into his home.
BP initially refused the
residents’ requests to plant extra
trees to hide the wall.
But it appears to have done
a U-turn after Mayor Lianne
Dalziel called personally about
the landscaping.
Ms Dalziel stepped in after
articles highlighting the problem
were published in the Nor’West
News and The Star.
She said while she made a call
to the company, the real work
was done by city council staff.
“I believe it is being implemented
now and I am pleased
for the neighbour who was
concerned,” she said.
At the July hearing,
residents tried to stop BP and its
plans to add four more pumps, 12
car parks plus a bigger forecourt.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel waded
into the battle asking BP to work
with city council staff to find a
solution.
Planting of trees to hide the
fence, the city council said,
started yesterday.
Mr Kano said he is still waiting
to be notified of what is going on.
“I haven’t heard anything,” he
said.
Mayor Dalziel said while this is
a good outcome it does highlight
how little influence neighbours
and the city council has on the
resource consent process.

good way
to help elderly
Bryndwr’s Iola Davies is one of many Christchurch
residents who have signed up to Sam Johnson’s
newest venture WeVisit. She is pictured with
WeVisit intern and Victoria University student
Isaiah Ratahi. WeVisit aims to connect the city’s
elderly with student visitors. Student Volunteer
Army founder Sam Johnson said the initiative was
a companion service for the elderly that matched
them with a trusted and trained young person,
who would visit each week, share time, do odd
jobs and keep families in the loop. “Essentially,
we are recruiting a network of New Zealand’s
most helpful grandchildren to support busy
families, expats and those who live apart,” Mr
Johnson said.

NOR’WEST NEWS
FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News...................................... 3-9
IT’S TAKEN a while but finally we
have some good news today for the
affected residents that opposed the
Edgeware BP expansion.
BP will plant shrubs to try and
minimise the affect the new shop
has along Kazu Kano’s fence. Time
will tell how effective that is, but
BP should also be painting the
back of their shop to reduce the
glare on the Kanos’ back porch.
It will be at travesty if BP doesn’t.
As we reported last week, Mayor
Lianne Dalziel jumped in to push
BP into doing something and this
appears to have worked. Thanks
Lianne. But if it wasn’t for Nor’West
News and The Star fighting for
the residents, nothing would have
been done. The city council was
complicit in the resource consent
process that allowed this to happen
and local councillor Pauline Cotter
didn’t seem interested in the latest
battle, as we reported recently.

Village expansion opened
RESIDENTS IN The Russley
Village have a brand new $10
million community centre
which was opened by John Key
on Friday.
The ‘Homestead’ was opened
on the site of the old Russley
Hotel which first opened in
1964.
As well as Mr Key more than
200 guests were in attendance,
including local MP and Minister
of Transport Gerry Brownlee
– who once worked at the old
hotel – master of ceremonies
Peter Townsend, former hotel
manager Peter Morrison and village
ambassador Judy Bailey.
Village director Graham
Wilkinson said the brief for the
build recognised the importance
of the history of the site.
“The Russley Hotel was of
huge significance to Christchurch,”
he said.
“We wanted to preserve this
by creating a sophisticated country
club experience that captures
some of the old hotel’s warmth
and ambience.”
Like the old hotel, the new
Homestead has areas purposebuilt
for entertainment and
socialising including a boutique
cinema with tiered seats and a
café and brasserie.
Upstairs, there is an intimate

lounge. There is also a library,
study and computer area, an arts
and crafts space as well as a hair
salon and wellness rooms for
health professionals.
There are a number of contemporary
design features
throughout, from the marble reception
and weathered bronzed
finishes to more traditional
design elements such as exposed
rafters and vaulted ceilings
with skylights to diffuse light
throughout.
“The Russley Hotel was well
known for its friendly fireplaces.
We’ve emulated this and have
installed within the Homestead
three stunning fireplaces featuring
herringbone brick liners and
raked limestone hearths,” Mr
Wilkinson said.
“The Russley was also the
first hotel in the south island
to have a swimming pool and
became quite famous for its
parties. Again, in keeping with
the history of the site, we have
started the construction of an
indoor heated pool and spa
complex.”
The new Homestead complex,
was designed by Christchurchbased
Dalman Architects and
Auckland-based Lauren Hare
Interiors.
In Brief
STREET ONE-WAY

Mike Vincent
Million dollar mission to save a
Mike Vincent is Kaikoura’s paua saviour. He
reckons he and about 450 volunteers have
saved paua worth more than $1 million since the
November 14 earthquake. Fraser Walker-Pearce
talks to the 44-year-old about questioning his
science teacher, missing his wife and kids, and
growing up in Aranui
Where are you while we’re
chatting?
We’re in Boat Harbour in the
south of Kaikoura still, we’re
waiting for a road to open so
we can get access to some bays
further to the north, the different
inlets and bays up there. All
the way from Oaro through to
Peketa is the area we’ve been allowed
to relocate paua.
Talk to me about the process
of relocating paua. What does
that entail?
Before I do I’ll explain how to
normally gather paua. You jump
in at low tide and dive for it;
that’s the way to get it legally. But
now because of the earthquake
you can walk out in sand shoes
without getting wet and reach it.
In my whole 30 years of diving
I’ve never been able to go into
a tidal zone and pick up my six
paua without getting wet. There’s
no science in that, it’s just what’s
happened.
So now you’re wading out,
gathering them and dropping
them deeper?
What we do is we go out at
low tide, when there’s a two hour
window either side of that and
we fill buckets with water and the
harvesters go out and grab them,
and the relocaters who are the
experienced divers, go and place
them on rocks, back into the
water basically. The simple way
of saying it is that we’re moving
them from where there was no
water, to where there is water.
How much depth do you
think has been lost from the
earthquake?
It’s hard to put a number on
it, because all I can say is there’s
hundreds of dead paua on the
beaches now. It’s also important
to ask if in the old tidal zone
pre-earthquake was there any
sea-life on the beach? The answer
is no. In the new tidal zone after
the quake would there be any life
POWER COUPLE: Mike Vincent and wife Debra. Mr Vincent
says she is his rock back in Christchurch.
there? And the answer is still no,
because sea creatures can’t live
out of water (laughs).
And so you’ve brought it on
yourself to get them back in the
water?
A diving mate of mine Dylan
Dhue, his wife Hannah and I
phoned each other the day after
the earthquake. When we saw a
photo of a rock full of paua well
above the water line on Facebook,
that’s what made me call
him and I said to him we have to
do something. And that’s when
I posted my first Facebook plea
for help.
And it all went from there?
Pretty much. So now it’s all
volunteers up here who all feel
the same as us – they’ve all
visited or dived here. It’s touched
all of us. Kaikoura has a special
place in all South Islanders’
minds and hearts. Also a big
thank you to the local runanga in
Kaikoura who offered their help
and support for us.
Obviously you can’t save
every single paua out there –
but how many do you think
you’ve relocated back to the
water?
You’re right we can’t save all
of them. But I’d say we’ve put
between 20,000 and 75,000kg of
paua back into the water. But to
give you an idea, we would fill a
20-30L bucket in about a minute,
so we fill thousands of buckets.
To put a money figure on what
we’re doing, it’s about $90 for a
ton of paua, so we would be talking
over a million bucks for this
operation normally. We’ve probably
had about 450 volunteers
over the whole time helping out
too. I want to say a big thank you
to all our wives out there as well
(laughs). We’ve all got families
mate, they’ve been our rocks, so
letting us go away and do this is
awesome.
We’re coming up to
Christmas now, how much
longer do you think you can do
this for?
We’re waiting for a road to
open up towards Peketa so we
can get there. If it doesn’t open
by Sunday though we’ll have to
call it.

Kaikoura natural treasure
When will you be back in
Christchurch?
I would say within the next
week and a half. It’s been adventurous,
but we just want to get
home to support our families.
It will be really awesome for me
to see my wife Debra and my
two young boys Kaydence and
Ezekiel again.
What suburb in Christchurch
are you going back to?
Addington. We’ve been there
for eight years now. It’s our first
house. I haven’t been working
so my wife’s a bit stretched. I’m
in the building industry but I’ve
taken almost a year off to help
with the house.
Do you ask a few of your
builder friends to help with the
house?
Oh hell yes. I’ve got heaps of
friends that have helped out with
the house, people like plasterers,
painters, landscapers, it’s all good
karma that comes around for
them too.
You must have a lot of good
karma with the work you’re doing
at the moment?
Yes, I think I must have a bit
of credit in the bank (laughs).
It’s the love and support of the
New Zealand people, that’s what
allows me to keep going. We’re a
special breed us Kiwis I truly believe
that. I think when you have
a natural disaster it brings people
back together and you get a lot
of good things happening. And
in 20 years time our kids will be
able to come out to Kaikoura and
get paua.
So it’s also about the future
generation for you?
It’s all about my kids and their
kids, to get paua for me, their
father, when I’m too old to get it
myself (laughs). It’s me teaching
them what’s important, conservation
and all that.
What high school did you go
to in Christchurch?
I went to Aranui High School.
I was brought up and lived in
New Brighton and loved surfing
on North Beach, I used to love
to surf. I’m more into my diving
and hunting now. I’d rather run
around the hills and do stuff
like that now, chasing pigs and
deer.
Who did you hang out with at
school?
It was a big community back
then. It’s a lot different now because
of the advances with technology
nowadays. We’d phone
people and actually bike to each
others’ houses and that kind of
thing. It was a small community
and everybody knew everybody.
Are there any schoolmates
you still catch up with?
I still see a lot of the mates, and
because of this work I’m doing
up here a lot have come back
out of the woodwork. That core
group of good friends are still
around. Just a big web of friends
I guess.
Did you have any favourite
subjects at school?
I loved science – I was the
guy that would stand up in class
and got in trouble for it, and
ask about evolution and ask the
teacher why apes aren’t turning
into humans now, that kind of
thing. I loved it because I liked
the challenge of working through
something and asking what’s going
on here.
Were you pretty smart for a
student?
I was an average student, sort
of in-between average and above

average in terms of my brains. I
loved my sport though. I played
representative rugby for Canterbury,
then I went and played
league and then got into diving
at 14 and hunting after that. I
still play presidents rugby league
for the Kaiapoi Bulldogs. I still
throw myself around like I’m 21
to be honest (laughs).
Did you do any tertiary education
after Aranui?
I did a course at polytech for
business management. I think I
got through one year and it got
boring for me. It wasn’t challenging
enough for me and I thought
do I really need a piece of paper
for this? I’m just a worker that
learns a lot by talking to people
and not judging them.

PAPANUI HIGH SCHOOL
NEWSLETTER
Greetings, Tena Koutou Katoa,
Welcome to our final newsletter for 2016. We have
had a very successful year, and our students are
doing incredibly well. Increasingly, students are
experiencing and striving for greater success. We
know that, when students are engaged, they will
make progress, and this has been reflected in their
achievement.
As a school it is our responsibility to provide the
best possible learning for every student, and ensure
we meet their diverse needs. The consolidation
of recent initiatives also ensures sustained and
continuous improvement can happen, and supports
the embedding of good school wide practice.
What strongly complements curriculum success,
is of course the opportunities provided by the
school’s co-curricular programme. Our students
have performed exceptionally well in a full range of
activities, some of which are shown below.
At this time of the year, we need to say farewell to a
number of permanent staff. Mr Thomson is leaving
us to take up the Head of Mathematics position at
Riccarton High School, and Mrs Alison Goodfellow
who has taught in our ESOL department for the last
15 years, is retiring. We thank them for their hard
work and for the many years of service they have
provided to the school and to education in general.
Ms Alana Davis, and Mr Fred Poskitt, were both
awarded 40 years long service awards at our
recent senior prize giving in acknowledgement and
celebration of their dedication, valued service, and
outstanding contribution to our school.
I would like to thank and acknowledge;
• the, Board of Trustees, Parent Teacher
Association, parents, whanau, and the wider
community, for their support and for sharing in the
responsibility of educating our young people,
• the entire staff, who make Papanui High School an
exciting and rewarding place,
and,
• the students, who give us all enormous pleasure
in seeing them achieve the things they do. Our
students grow up to be wonderfully mature young
adults with a strong sense of social responsibility.
For those students who are leaving. Thank you for
being a part of Papanui High School. I hope you
feel well prepared for the next step in your lives,
and that you are moving on to new and exciting
challenges. I wish you all the very best for your
future.
Have a safe and happy holiday period. I look
forward to 2017 in the
knowledge that as a school and a community
we will continue to work together to provide our
students an education that is supportive, caring,
and developed in a ‘forward thinking’ way.

Readers respond to the
ongoing saga of the
Edgeware BP expansion,
and the issues neighbours
have been left with
G B Tulloch: Re: the glaring
white wall at BP Edgeware, perhaps
it could be repainted with
a mural showing the foul clouds
of toxic smoke from the wrecked
Deep Sea Horizon oil rig, the
oil drenched coast of the Gulf of
Mexico, the dead workers, the
suffocated seabirds, the poisoned
fish, and the hordes of lawyers,
spin doctors and lobbyists running
round trying to hide BP’s
responsibility.
In the meantime, boycott BP.
David Dixon: Good to have
a chance to comment on the
BP/Edgeware issue. We have
followed your regular features
and frankly the behaviour of the
corporate is appalling.
The whole concept of them enlarging
in such a congested area
with kindergarten, housing , the
supermarket, a busy Postshop,
all the other shops and a very
busy intersection is inane and
should never have been allowed
to go ahead.
I felt so much for the neighbours
having to fight the corporate
bully through a loaded
resource hearing. Talk about
David and Goliath. The decision
Mr Mountford reached was
deplorable and for BP to now

make BP become a good neighbour.

next year’s under-19 World

They upset the odds by defeating

Clinton led all scorers in the

two late three-pointers to see

MATT DOOCEY
MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI
CHAT WITH MATT
Like many families, I was rocked
awake by the November earthquake.
The event was a sober reminder for
Canterbury of what our community
has gone through.
I was out and about after the
earthquake to check up on residents
and to be briefed on how our area
had fared. I heard some great stories
about night-shift workers who came
out to check on evacuees parked in
the parking lots of our supermarkets
and offered support and food.
The work undertaken by our
councils and private building
owners in upgrading our buildings
to increase our ability to cope
with earthquake events resulted
in relatively little damage to our
buildings or infrastructure. This
allowed us to be able to support
Hurunui and Kaikōura, and I spoke
in Parliament’s General Debate
Funded by Parliamentary Service and authorised by
Matt Doocey MP, 130A Percival St, Rangiora.
about how we are supporting our
neighbours in North Canterbury. The
earthquakes are going to require
a number of legislative measures
to facilitate recovery and I sat in
Parliament under Urgency hearing
the submissions on the Hurunui and
Kaikōura Earthquakes Emergency
Relief Bill.
It’s another reminder to look out for
each other and to check with family
and friends to see they are getting
the support they need. I’m getting
great feedback on my new Belfast
office, with constituents reporting
they appreciate the shorter travel
time to meet with me, so if you need
help or know someone who needs
help, please get in touch.
From my family to yours, I wish you a
Merry Christmas and a peaceful new
year.
DONATION: Papanui Rotary Club president John Allen (left) hands
Christchurch Charity Hospital chief executive Carl Shaw a cheque for $6440.
Hospital trust
gets $6440
Rotary cheque
THE ROTARY Club
of Papanui recently
presented a cheque for
$6440 to the Canterbury
Charity Hospital Trust.
It was a share of the
profits from club’s
successful trailer raffle,
which was organised in
October in partnership
with Papanui Mega Mitre
10.
Club president John
Allen presented the
cheque to Carl Shaw, chief
executive and hospital
manager, who said the
contribution would
help fund more dental
equipment.
Mr Allen acknowledged
the work CCHT delivers
to people who require
surgery, dentistry or
counselling but do not
meet the threshold for
treatment in the public
health system and do not
have the means to fund it
for themselves.
So far this year, CCHT
has undertaken more than
400 procedures for those
who would otherwise be
unable to access the care
they need.
The presentation took
place in the recovery ward
where several reclining
chairs, previously donated
by Rotary, are located.
The trust has purchased
a further neighbouring
property which is
being converted into a
counselling suite and
a community meeting
room.

Boys’ High take national title
LAWyerS
• By Gordon Findlater
FRASER SHEAT has joined
the likes of previous winner
Black Caps captain Kane
Williamson after taking
out the MVP award at last
week’s Secondary School
Boys’ First XI Cup.
The 18-year-old right
arm pace bowler led all
players with 11 wickets for
Christchurch Boys’ High
School at the week-long
tournament at Lincoln
University, as his side captured
the title with a perfect
record of five wins from as
many games.
Sheat was understandably
overjoyed to win the tournament
MVP award.
History tends to suggest
those that win MVP are
destined for bigger things.
Williamson and fellow
Black Cap Adam Milne are
just two names to win the
award over the last decade.
“I didn’t expect the award
at all. I can’t really see myself
up there with those sort
of guys. It’s pretty special
to get the award and I’m
just stoked for the boys that
we could get the win,” said
Sheat.
The CBHS first XI not
only went unbeaten at
the tournament, but have
remained unbeaten in all
competitions this year.
“The boys have worked so
hard throughout the year.
They just keep working and
working and this was their
end goal. And to do it without
losing one is an amazing
effort from them,” said
CBHS coach Mark Lane.
The most memorable win
during last week’s tournament
came on Wednesday
against Auckland’s St Kentigern
College which finished
runners-up.
Batting first, CBHS scored
243 from 50 overs. St Kentigern
got off to a great start
in reply and were cruising at
184/4 in the 27th over.
Three quick wickets fell
before they stabilised to be
238/7, requiring just six runs
from the final four overs.
However, CBHS put in a
spirited bowling effort to
take the final three St Kentigern
wickets for just three
runs and win the match by
two runs.
CBHS have now won the
cup three times over the
past four years.
MVP: Fraser Sheat
took 11 wickets at the
Secondary School Boys’
First XI Cup last week to
win the MVP award.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | DECEMBER 2016
The year ahead
A message from outgoing EQC chief executive
Ian Simpson
The Kaikoura Earthquake has been an unwelcome
reminder of the sheer power and unpredictability
of geological forces and of New Zealand’s
vulnerability to these.
The earthquake has also highlighted yet again
the resilience of New Zealanders in the face of
natural disaster.
At EQC, it’s also reminded us that every natural
disaster affects communities in different ways. So
while we have learned a number of lessons from
Canterbury 2010-2011, our response to the
Kaikoura Earthquakes will be different.
One of the key things we learned from
Canterbury is that we should have put more
time early on into building relationships with
customers, community groups, local

Don’t wait to hear from
EQC – lodge your claim
Most people seen by EQC in the first
weeks since the Kaikoura
Earthquake of 14 November have
wanted help lodging their claims
and advice on how to get emergency
repairs underway to get them back
into their homes.
EQC Customer and Claims General
Manager Trish Keith says that having
organised three teams on rotation into
the most impacted areas of Ward, Waiau
and Kaikoura to help lodge claims,
provide information and answer
EQC-related questions, EQC is being
kept up to date on customer needs.
“One of the lessons out of Canterbury
was that people wanted information
and the opportunity to talk to someone
about their issues as soon as they could
after an event, so we have ensured that
our response to Kaikoura includes
personal contact,” Mrs Keith says.
“The teams have been dealing with
hundreds of customers one-on-one.
Many people have been asking EQC
when someone from EQC will visit
them, so they will know what to do
next. My advice is that they go ahead
and lodge the claim first. Don’t wait for
anyone to visit.
“Go ahead and lodge your claim to
ensure you are in the system, and any
earthquake damage found later can be
added. If you fail to lodge a claim
before 14 February 2017, we won’t be
able to help you so best to lodge the
government, and government agencies
and insurers.
We are heeding that lesson as we plan our
response to Kaikoura. We’ve had staff on the
ground in Kaikoura, Ward and Waiau to help
customers lodge their claims and answer EQC
related questions. The information our people
are picking up from those areas is being fed back
into our planning.
The work we are doing now will mean that in
2017 we will be putting in place the team we
need to deliver a response tailored to the needs
of customers impacted by the Kaikoura
Earthquake. This team will be part of the new
structure we have developed to also carry on the
remaining work in Canterbury in 2017.
While we are working very hard on responding to
Kaikoura, we also know we have to keep focussed
on resolving the final Canterbury claims.
I’m stepping down as EQC’s chief executive at
the end of this year. I want to thank people of
claim,” Mrs Keith says.
The next steps about claim assessment
and settlement are still the subject of
ongoing negotiations with private
insurers. EQC is confident it will have
news on this soon.
EQC has been prioritising the
vulnerable and the most damaged
homes for visits, as needed.
All EQC teams are working out of
Recovery Assistance Centres set up by
Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency
Management in Ward, Waiau and
Kaikoura so Government agencies and
non-government agencies could deliver
consistently across areas of need.
If you have any questions about
your existing claim or want to lodge
a new claim:
• Visit www.eqc.govt.nz/claims
• Email info@eqc.govt.nz
• Phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243)
The EQC call centre is open 7am to
9pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to
6pm on Saturdays.
To prepare for making a claim,
remember to have on hand:
• Information about what damage
occurred
• Photographs showing the damage
and any urgent work that was done
• Your insurance policy number and
name of your insurance company.
Courtesy of NZ Fire Service
Canterbury for the support we have received,
and at times for your patience. I acknowledge we
didn’t always get everything right but we have
learned from that. I also want to acknowledge the
EQC staff who worked very hard to support the
Canterbury recovery.
Looking ahead, it’s clear 2017 will be another
year of challenges. I’m confident that EQC will
rise to meet those challenges.
2017 changes
From later this month, EQC will be the main point of
contact for all customer enquiries relating to Canterbury
Home Repair Programme (CHRP) repairs.
Until now, customers have dealt with EQC and/or Fletcher EQR
– depending on what stage their repairs have been at. But, from
16 December, EQC’s 0800 number (0800 326 243) will be the
main number for all customers – including those whose
properties are in the current sub-floor review, who will be
transferred to the Fletcher EQR staff focussing on that work.
No delays are intended or anticipated, but personnel changes
due to the completion of about 68,400 first-time CHRP repairs
may mean some customers will have a different contact person
at EQC or EQR in 2017.
EQC’s General Manager Customer and Claims Trish Keith says
these customers will be advised of any changes and provided
with new contact details.
“We don’t want customers who currently have a contact
person at EQC or EQR calling us and only then finding out that
someone else is looking after their claim.”
She says any changes will be limited to EQC and EQR
personnel, and repair work will be carried out by contractors
that have already worked for the home repair programme and
are familiar with EQC’s systems and quality expectations.
Most CHRP contractors will finish work for the year on
23 December and resume work from 9 January.
EQC’s Contact Centre hours will be:
• Friday 23 December: 7am-5pm
• Saturday 24 December – Tuesday 27 December: CLOSED
• Wednesday 28 December – Friday 30 December: 8am-5pm
• Saturday 31 December – Tuesday 3 January: CLOSED
• Normal hours will resume on Wednesday 4 January
(7am-9pm Monday-Friday; 8am-6pm Saturday)

Positive
response to
February 2016
settlement
process
90 percent of claims from the February 2016
earthquakes have been settled.
EQC’s February 2016 Event Response Manager,
Jayne Lapin, says of the 13,879 claims received for the
14 and 29 February earthquakes and subsequent
aftershocks, EQC has resolved 12,440 (90 percent)
by cash settlement worth a total value of $46,039,854
“Customers have appreciated the approach we have
developed and implemented in response to the
February earthquakes.”
The new approach uses both on-site and phonebased
assessments, and allows customers to influence
the pace of settlement by giving them the opportunity
to provide earthquake damage data and
photographic evidence.
Thanks to a robust period of planning in advance and
with customers providing information up front, claims
have taken an average of three weeks to reach
settlement from assessment.
Customers who have been through the process have
been surveyed and nearly 90 percent of those who have
taken part have been positive about their experience.
Ms Lapin says EQC had hoped to resolve all February
2016 claims by the end of the year but it has suited
some customers to defer their assessment to 2017,
meaning a small number remain open and will be
closed early next year.
Land settlements
update
Almost all land claims will be resolved by the end
of the year but there will be some customers who
will get their settlement in 2017.
At the end of December 2016, out of a total of
approximately 73,000 green zone properties we
expect to have resolved 97% of them. This means we
have either made payments to customers or advised
them that they don’t qualify for the types of land
damage known as Increased Flooding Vulnerability
(IFV) and/or Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV).
“We’ve been working to get an answer to all land
customers waiting to hear from us this year. While we
have worked hard to ensure that customers have
received their land settlement, we are conscious that
some are still waiting”, says EQC’s Head of Customer
and Claims Trish Keith.
“These are the last of the most complex claims that
we need to settle and we will do our best to continue
to deliver robust settlements which can give
homeowners confidence that all properties have been
assessed fairly and consistently”, says Mrs Keith.
“Looking back on the year, we would also like the
opportunity to thank all land customers, community
groups and many other stakeholders, who are also
supporting our customers, for their patience and
understanding as well as taking the time to come to
our community meetings on land settlements or
hosting us and providing us with their feedback”,
concludes Mrs Keith.
The EQC website remains a good source of
information for land customers who want to find out
more about IFV and ILV land damage, which are a
world-first. Please visit www.eqc.govt.nz/IFV or www.
eqc.govt.nz/ILV.

FLAME FILES
KIDSTUFF
Don’t leave clothes in the
dryer while you’re not home
Fire risk management
officer Mark Thomas
talks about call outs
in the lead up to
Christmas and a new
call out to a fire in an
ice cream truck
Another week and
another series of car
crashes in Christchurch.
Twenty-one attended by
Fire Service troops in the
past seven days.
Lately, these seem to be
increasing quite alarmingly.
It might be the time
of year, it might be something
to do with drink
driving, but whatever it
is a car crash just now is
pretty much guaranteed to
result in a less than merry
Christmas.
For goodness sake watch
where you’re driving,
watch other traffic and pedestrians
and don’t speed.
You’ve heard the term
‘fire and ice’. ‘Fire and ice
cream’ doesn’t have the
same ring about it does it?
Every now and then
comes an incident that
is new, even to long-time
firefighters. A recently
opened service station in
Harewood had a fire in
an ice cream machine last
Thursday.
It didn’t come to much
and was shut down by staff
with firefighters just ensuring
no fire spread with a
thermal imaging camera.
I’ve mentioned this
THE PLAYHOUSE CHALLENGE
before but leaving the
house with a clothes dryer
just started is not recommended.
We’ve all done it,
many of us not even thinking
about the possibilities.
Mostly nothing will happen
other than the clothes
being dry when you come
home. But occasionally,
as in Malabar Cres,
Broomfield, last Friday, a
family will come home to a
destroyed home.
By being there while the
appliance is operating,
you increase your chance
of cutting off a fire or at
least having us on the way
earlier.
And every second saved
means so much more of
your stuff saved.
Tenants Protection Association (TPA) Christchurch, Birthright Canterbury, and
Star Media are proud to present Canterbury’s first ever ‘Playhouse Challenge.’
The competition will see some of our top architects and building teams compete
against each other to build Canterbury’s best playhouse and receive an award for
‘Best Architectural Playhouse’ or the ‘People’s Choice’.
The best five playhouses will be judged by an expert panel and members of the
public attending the 2017 Star Home & Leisure Show. The playhouses will be on
display at the Show from 30 June until 2 July, where they will also be auctioned.
Proceeds from the auction will be shared between TPA and Birthright Canterbury
to support their ongoing work in the community.
Send in Your Expression of Interest
If you think you are up for the challenge of building
Canterbury’s best playhouse, please submit an
Expression of Interest by 5pm on 22 December.
Visit birthrightchch.org.nz or tpa.org.nz
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to
contact Di Harwood at TPA on (03) 379-2297.

No job too small at
this repair business
Scratch on the bumper? Dent in the door?
Damage like this can happen so easily – in
supermarket car parks, for example. And
the place to get minor damage quickly and
professionally repaired is SMART Repairs
in Lichfield Street.
SMART (Small to Medium Automotive
Repair Techniques) Repairs provides a topquality
service with a quick turnaround
– vehicles are usually in and out within a
couple of days.

their first panelbeating business in 1993.
Brian has a total of 31 years’ experience in
the trade, so customers can be confident
they will get a first-class job.
Services include paintless dent removal,
or PDR, and while a large percentage of
their work is non-insurance, they also
provide insurance quotes and carry out
those repairs quickly and efficiently.
To keep their customers on the road while
their vehicle is in the workshop, SMART
Repairs recently acquired a courtesy car,
and this has already proven to be a great
help for people, Maxine says. They also offer
a pick-up and delivery service if required.
As a small, friendly operation, SMART
Repairs specialises in small to medium
repair work, with no job too small, Maxine
says. Their aim is to provide personalised
service, and make it easy for customers
unsure what to do if their vehicle is
damaged.

results.”

Festive Season Survival Tips
Healthy snacks are always popular
Christmas is a time for celebration,
spending time with friends and
family and enjoying festive foods
and drinks. Nutrition-wise, this
festive fare can be a challenge.
Here are some simple tips to help you
survive the festivities:
• Don’t try to lose weight over the festive
season. With parties, families and all the
special foods that go with Christmas, it’s
going to be just about impossible! Your
main aim should be to maintain your
weight (using some of the tips below!)
• Eat regular meals. If you skip meals you
are more likely to fill up on high fat snacks.
It only takes a few of these snacks to add
up to more calories than your usual meal.
• Avoid going to a function hungry, you
can easily eat a lot of party food in a short
time. Have a small snack beforehand like a
bowl of cereal, yoghurt or a sandwich are
quick and will help fill you up. It will also
help if you are well hydrated, so try drinking
a few glasses of water before you arrive.
• Deep fried foods, crumbed and battered
foods, cheese platter and nuts are all high in
fat. Choose fruit, vegetable or bread based
snacks.
• If you are hosting the party, offer your
guests a range of healthy snacks. Always
popular are hummus or salsa dips with
vegetable sticks.
• If you are taking a plate, make yours a
healthy option. How about a platter of fruit
currently in season?
• Listen to your body and stop eating
when you feel full.
• Just say ‘No” to food – mentally
Be aware of how much you are actually drinking
practice strategies to decline food offers. For
example: “It looks amazing but I am full” or
“I tried it and it was great”.
• Chat and mingle. If you are bored at a
party you’re more likely to hover around the
food table or seek out the serving platter. A
good conversation can distract you from the
food. Avoid standing right beside the food
table or bar while you’re talking.
• Consider your drinks, they can add to
the calorie count very quickly. Try diluting
your alcoholic drinks, such as a spritzer
(½ wine, ½ soda). If you prefer spirits,
try a diet mixer. Lite beers are lower in
calories and alcohol. Remember soft drinks,
juices, punches, tonic water and flavoured
mineral water can all have similar calories
to alcoholic drinks.
•Be aware of how much you are actually
drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with
glasses of water and non-alcoholic choices.
• Keep Active. Join in the Christmas
backyard cricket game or go for a walk
with friends or relatives. Remember you’re
aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity
each day.
• If your regular exercise class stops over
the Christmas break, plan other types of
exercise - organise your friends and put a
date in your diary.
If you do really overdo the festive foods
or drinks, take a deep breath and start the
next day afresh with healthy foods and some
exercise. No fasting - just sensible eating.
Remember, a few parties don’t make you
overweight, it’s what you do all the other
days of the year which count.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Arthritis &
back pain
to rest or keep moving?
With arthritis and back pain 30 years ago
the advice was to rest. But research has
shown that inactivity only makes things
worse.
Move, move, move is always the advice
for arthritis. Staying in bed with back pain
often results in greater difficulty moving
and may prolong the pain. Better to stay
active, garden or walk to the shops.
A pain killer may enable you to continue
normal activities. Any movement, no
matter how small, helps relieve pain. Start
gently with something you enjoy.
There’s no quick fix for back pain but
you need to keep moving. You can keep
your legs and lower back moving with an
Aircycle circulation booster while you sit.
By working your legs, your core muscles
which help support your back, also work
and strengthen. Lower back pain and
sciatica, aching legs and joints are often
relieved this way.
So move – even while you sit. The
Aircycle “pedal” exercise enables this. And
don’t forget to laugh occasionally. That
massages your internal organs and helps
you relax.
Back pain however, has many and varied
causes. Never neglect seeking medical
advice.
Aircycle information and orders:

Effective
natural skincare
that is ideal for
problem skin
MooGoo produce a full range
of safe, natural skin and scalp
products that are especially
suited for those with problem
skin. In these products they
only use top quality edible
ingredients that are known to
be highly effective and good
for our skin. These active
ingredients are only used in
correct concentrations for
effective results and not just
added to look good on the

many medical practitioners in
Australia.
As MooGoo products are
safe and natural they are ideal

Collagen
the body’s youth protein
Collagen is the primary
protein in the body. It is a major
component of skin, hair, nails,
muscles, tendons, ligaments,
joint cartilage, bones, gums,
teeth, eyes, and blood vessels.
In fact collagen is the primary
structural component for all
tissue in the body, providing
the strength and resilience
associated with youth, beauty
and wellness. The body’s natural
collagen production decreases
with age resulting in many signs
of aging, such as flaccid skin,
wrinkles, ligament and tendon
injuries and aching joints.
Collagen supplementation is
one of the most fundamental
things a person can do to
prevent premature aging and
promote youthful vitality.
NEOCELL are the industry
leaders in research on collagen
supplementation. Through
advanced research they have
perfected a way to hydrolyse
collagen and effectively reduce
its molecular weight this
improving the absorption of
collagen into the blood stream
by over 90%.
A clinical study on
NEOCELL COLLAGEN
has shown skin hydration to
increase an average of 21%
and up to 50%, with 92% of
test subjects experiencing
firmer, softer skin. Most
people taking NEOCELL
COLLAGEN reported seeing
visible improvements within
two weeks.
Collagen supplementation
provides the nutrients necessary
to support the body’s collagen
supply. It can help reduce fine
lines and wrinkles and improve
skin elasticity, support building
of strong bones and teeth,
strengthen the nails and hair,
and is vital for muscle growth,
It also assists weight loss by
helping burn fat for energy,
promotes wound healing by
supporting the regeneration of
healthy tissue as well as help
support overall health.
