Plan to beat arsonists
• By Andrew King
FIRE SERVICE and education
bosses are working together to
prevent vacant schools from
being the target of arsonists.
The campaign is aimed at
removing things such as rubbish
bins, outside furniture and other
combustibles from school sites
that opportunist arsonists use to
set fires.
There are 25 schools citywide,
four in the north-west suburbs
that have either been earmarked
for disposal, further education
purposes or community use
as part of the $1.137 billion
Christchurch Schools Rebuild
Programme.
Fire Service’s Bruce Irvine
said they are working with the
Ministry of Education over a
prevention plan.
“We have been looking around
the schools for things like
rubbish bins not being stored
away correctly, outside furniture
not pushed against buildings,
that sort of thing to try limit
the amount of opportunity,” he
said.
The north-west sites are on
Champion St, which is being
used by Beckenham School
temporarily, Glenmoor School
on Philpotts Rd, Kendal
Primary on Kendal Ave and
Marshland School’s former site
on Marshland Rd.
MoE head of education
infrastructure service Kim
Shannon said all schools are
vulnerable over summer
because they are generally
unoccupied.
“It’s an unfortunate fact
that all schools are potential
targets for arson and vandalism,
particularly during the summer
months when the buildings
aren’t in use,” she said.
Aranui High and Wainoni
schools now have extra security
after both were vandalised
recently.
Aranui High was hit just a
week after it closed down for
good last month. A number
of windows were smashed,
buildings tagged
and construction equipment
on-site was vandalised and
tagged.

GREAT TO see a strategy to try
and stop opportunist arsons at
schools earmarked for demolition
around the city (see page 1).
Typically, random fires that
happen at schools (usually during
school holidays) are started
in rubbish bins, or on outdoor
furniture, and usually by groups
of teenagers roaming the area at
night looking to create mischief.
The real arsonists take the places
out with planned intent. These
guys are few and far between and
always fairly impossible to stop.
So a wise move by the Fire
Service and Ministry of Education
to get rid of rubbish bins and
equipment at unused schools,
which hopefully will mean those
marauding groups of teenagers
will simply move on.
And good luck to Mika Ravalawa
(see page 1 and 18) – he’ll
do well at the Canberra Raiders.

In Brief
BURGLARY ARREST
Police have praised a person who
alerted them to suspicious behaviour
at a St Albans address on
Friday morning which led to the
arrest of a 27-year-old man for burglary.

said several staff, including a dog
team, cordoned off Weston Rd and
located the offender hiding inside
an address on that road.

CONFUSION: A ‘to let’ sign on the front lawn of Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee’s office had some locals wondering if he was moving.
‘Don’t worry’ – Gerry’s staying
• By Andrew King
DON’T BE misled by this sign.
Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee is
not moving out of his Greers Rd
electorate office.
“It is the rear section for let,
not here,” Mr Brownlee said.
Residents were wondering if he
was moving out of the area.
“We saw the sign and thought
he is taking off,” said Gail Scott,
of Bryndwr.
When Mr Brownlee’s office
was contacted on Friday by
Nor’West News, MP support
Allie Benny said she had
wondered if it was going to cause
some confusion.
“Don’t worry, he is not
moving,” she said.
“They will have to carry him
out of here.”
Mr Brownlee has held the Ilam
seat since 1996 and is
the Minister of Defence,
Leader of the House, Minister
of Civil Defence, Minister
Responsible for the Earthquake

Maintaining trust and confidence
This week’s
opinion piece
was written
by Canterbury
district police
commander
Superintendent
John Price about modern
day law enforcement
I am extremely proud of the
police team who serve the people
and make a difference to the
community every minute of
every day as our team keep the
peace and ensure the public will
be safe and feel safe.
In New Zealand, our police
have the implicit consent of the
community. In order to do this,
we must be seen as policing with
integrity and with accountability.
Essentially, we must have the
trust and confidence of the community.
Policing by consent follows the
principles, ideas and ideals of
Sir Robert Peel, which define an
ethical police organisation.
These ‘Peelian Principles’ are
as relevant today as they were in
1829 when they were established.
Police, at all times, should
maintain a relationship with the
public that gives reality to the
historic tradition that the police
are the public, and the public are
the police.
We maintain the highest level
of ‘full trust and confidence’ of
any policing organisation in the
world, at about 80 per cent.
By comparison, some policing
jurisdictions have trust and confidence
levels lower that 10 per
cent, demonstrating that those
organisations are not widely seen
as ethical and trustworthy.
If you have travelled overseas,
you will have seen examples of
policing organisations which
have an approach of policing
with fear and only force.
We place enormous importance
on maintaining and fostering
the trust and confidence of
our communities and we work
hard to ensure we maintain our
core values and hold each other
to account.
Having been a member for 30
years I think the community is
justified in having trust and confidence
in this organisation.
In Canterbury, we want to
ensure that people can be safe
and feel safe and I’m sure that is a
sentiment you will share.
Our focus is on reducing harm
caused to families, whether that
be through violence in the home,
death and injury on the roads,
drug use or dishonesty offending.
We also want to empower
communities to work together,
support each other and to speak
up when something isn’t right.
We work very closely with
a range of agencies and community
groups to ensure people
receive the support they need and
deserve.
Over the past year, we have targeted
those bringing illegal drugs
and firearms into our communities
and, as a result, have seized
140 illegal firearms. Each one of
those is potentially a life saved.
We have also prevented significant
amounts of illegal drugs in
getting to our streets.
We are very lucky in that we
receive a lot of positive feedback
from members of the community
for the work we do.
To those people who have taken
the time to contact us, I would
like you to know that your words
of support mean a lot to myself
and my team who come to work
every day to make a difference in
the lives of everyone so that we
can be the safest country.
NOR’WEST NEWS
Last week we asked
readers if they thought
more funding should
be allocated by the city
council to install school
zones, which would
include signage and a
reduced speed limits
around schools. A reader
responds:
Colin McGavin, of
Papanui – I live in Paparoa
St and am very familiar with
the traffic patterns caused
by the school. There are two
street frontages for Paparoa St
School – Paparoa St and Tomes
Rd. Paparoa St is a cul-de-sac,
dead end, so carries no through
traffic. Tomes Rd joins Rutland
St with a 90-degree corner and
a 25km/h speed limit. At school
start, 9am, and finish, 3pm,
times, both sides of both streets
are filled with the parked cars
of parents and others dropping
off or picking up children.
This means that there is
generally only room for a
single line of traffic and you
have to give way to let through
cars coming the other way.
So there is already a ‘built in’
speed restriction mechanism.
Therefore, spending money
on additional signage for this
school is a complete and total
waste of money. Take it off
this list and spend the money
on schools that have genuine
problems.

Stolen credit cards found
in Bryndwr property search
• By Andrew King
TWO STOLEN credit cards have
been recovered as police continue
to crackdown on youth crime in
the north-west.
A search warrant
was issued to look
for stolen items
at a property on
Aorangi Rd, Bryndwr,
on Tuesday,
which was believed
to be linked with
Nick Adcock two burglaries in
Papanui.
A youth has been spoken to
by police and a man has been
charged with using a document
for pecuniary advantage.
It is alleged the man used a stolen
credit card to make purchases
totalling about $400.
Police say he could possibly face
methamphetamine possession
and utensil charges as well.
Among the recovered items
were Australian senior citizen
cards police believe were taken in
the Papanui burglaries as well as
stolen credits cards and electronics.
It follows another warrant issued
on January 6 in Bryndwr,
where a 13-year-old suspect was

identified as a person of interest
in the Papanui burglaries. From
that warrant, police established
another address that potentially
contained more stolen property.
Police say charges are yet to be
laid.
The crackdown is part of an operation,
code-named Piper, which
targets the top 10 youth believed
to be responsible for burglaries,
thefts, vandalism, graffiti, intimidation
and other offending.
Acting Sergeant Nick Adcock
said seven of the 10 top offenders
have been dealt with for offending
with various degrees of seriousness
since the operation started in
September.
He said he couldn’t comment
on the specifics but the offences
ranged from burglary, aggravated
robbery and trespass.
Operation Piper is based out of
the Papanui police station and is
aimed at giving opportunities to
break the cycle of crime.
It’s part of a wider focus
throughout northern and eastern
suburbs to reduce youth crime
and a national goal to reduce it 25
per cent by June.
TEAMWORK: The Fire Service and Ministry of Education
are working together to reduce opportunities for arsonists
around schools.
Plan to beat school
vandals, arsonists
•From page 1
Wainoni was hit by vandals
this month. It also had a
number of windows smashed,
some of which have since been
boarded over.
Mr Irvine said the unoccupied
schools were “pretty high
risk” when it came to fires.
He said Aranui High was
lucky to not have a fire during
the recent attack.
Funding can be allocated to
schools to repair buildings that
have been deliberately set on
fire, provided the damage is
under $2500.
The MoE has a funding programme,
backed by private sector
insurance, to pay for repairs
to school buildings damaged in
a fire or natural disaster.
Buildings will be covered for
loss or damage costing more
than $2500 to repair and that
meets the criteria.

Kate Russell
Proud mum awarded for her
Kate Russell has been a leader in the
not-for-profit health sector for 24 years. Georgia
O’Connor-Harding spoke to her about working
at the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation
and what it was like to raise three children as a
solo parent.
Congratulations on becoming
and Officer of the New Zealand
Order of Merit. You must be
very excited?
I was thrilled when I heard.
My first reaction was who the
heck must have nominated
me? But I still don’t know and
possibly never will. I am very
honoured. I didn’t know I was
going to get nominated. There
are so many different sectors
in my professional life where it
could have come from, but they
said health and governance and
that has narrowed it down.
What made you stick to
helping the not-for-profit
organisations?
I fell into the not-for-profit
sector by accident. My first job
was as a fundraising assistant
for Presbyterian Support. I
got it because it was a 20-hour
week job and it suited the fact I
had small children at the time.
I was in that job for a couple
of weeks and I had what you
would describe as a vocational
empathy of thinking, oh my
goodness, this is what I want to
do for the rest of my life. I was
30-years-old and aside from
being a mother, I hadn’t figured
out what I wanted to do careerwise.
I had always done things to
do with social justice. I had gone
on the ‘no tour marches’ and
was a junior member of human
rights organisation, Amnesty
International.
Tell me about working at the
Canterbury Medical Research
Foundation?
When I took this role, some
of my colleagues at the national
programme, Cystic Fibrosis New
Zealand, were like isn’t that a
step back because you are going
into a regional role? But after the
earthquakes, I very much had
in my heart to do something in
Canterbury. Medical research is
something you don’t always get

immediate results. In the nearly
three years I have been there, I
can’t say there has been a new
blockbuster drug. Rarely does
medical research go ahead in a
quantum leaps, it is these little
baby steps that happen over a
number of years.
Could give me a picture of the
research you are doing at the
moment?
We just finished a study on the
use of vitamin C and breast cancer.
We are also funding a young
women at Otago University
who is looking to use vitamin
C for people who have got ear
infections. We are also pivotal in
supporting the development of
the UC Rose Centre for Stroke
Recovery and Research.

role in medical research
How do you think our
medical research compares to
the rest of the world?
We punch very well above our
weight. What gets achieved here
in research for the fraction of a
cost is really quite astounding.
In spite of the frustration we all
naturally get with the health system
and getting put on waiting
lists and restricted medicines, we
still have universal public health
care here. When you look at the
hideous situation people in the
United States find themselves
in, where they don’t have health
insurance, we have a fabulous
system here. We only pay $5 per
item for medicine which may
cost up to $150. Still some people
complain about that.
You often hear about there
not being enough beds at
Christchurch Hospital.
For sure, Christchurch Hospital
is an incredibly busy hospital.
But the financial results and just
the strategic results the CDHB
gets in terms of the development
of new services; they are
just terrific and stack up very
well compared to the rest of the
district health boards around
the country. I can tell you these

the stage where I was very poor.
I wouldn’t say I had hit rock bottom,
but I was very poor and I
had to work very hard and make
significant sacrifices for the
well-being of my children. I was
there for some time and I had
to make a conscious decision to
climb myself out of that. To not
be dependent on welfare.
How did you get through?
The whole family had to make
sacrifices for that to occur.
There were a lot of times where
I couldn’t go to the kids’ sports
days. I couldn’t be the one to
drop them off at school or look
after them after school. I recognise
my children paid the price
for me putting a lot of evidence
on the development of my career.
I had a 12, eight and four-yearold.
What do your children say
about it now?
They are very proud. From
time to time, we have these conversations
where I say I still carry
some guilt about not being there
because I had to work. I had to
be the main bread-winner in the
family. They are very pragmatic
about it and say what you taught

I live in my house and we have

I am much too independent.
So you are keeping the magic
alive?
Exactly, and my independence.
I make my own money.
If I want a diamond ring, I buy
it, I don’t worry about someone
else. I watched my mother model
independence to me because my
father died when I was 12. She

Deans’ farm
restoration to
be decided
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A DECISION will be made on
the restoration of two buildings
connected to the pioneering
Deans’ farming settlement.
The city council will decide on
Thursday whether to approve a
heritage incentive grant of up to
$62,326 for the repair work of two
former farm buildings in Kahu
Rd, near Riccarton Bush.
A city council report says if the
work goes ahead, it will mean
some of the last early brick farm
buildings in Canterbury will be
restored.
The application was made by
the Christchurch Boys’ High
School board of trustees, which
owns the buildings.
So far, the owners have
$1,486,468 available from insurance
and have raised a further
$147,061 for repairs to enable the
building to be reused.
The cost of repairing the buildings
is estimated to be $2,120,000,
which means the owners have to
find $546,395.
The Deans brothers, William
and John, were some of the earliest
European settlers in the city
and the site of their first farm was
at Riccarton Bush.
Young filmmaker on a roll
• By Andrew King
LOOK OUT Sir Peter Jackson,
there is a new director on the
scene.
Christchurch Girls’ High
School student Grace Maguire
recently won the New Zealand
Film Commission Young
Women Filmmaker in the
Outlook for Someday short film
competition.
Her three and a half minute
film is called Wired, a
docudrama about the overuse
of technology by teenagers
– it also won the CGHS film
competition for the second time
last year.
“They [teenagers] are using it
a lot more, not focusing what’s
happening around them . . . we
want them to look up,” she said.
A docudrama is a dramatised
television programme or film
which takes the form of a
serious documentary based on
real events.
The inspiration for it, she said,
came from observing her peers.
“It is just something I have
seen all around me,” she said.
It is not her first film.
In 2015, she won the school
competition with The Transfer,
which was about a teenager who
woke up every day in a different
body.
The 16-year-old filmmaker
said it was a fantastic experience,
one she will definitely repeat.
“I really want to make
more, they are so much fun,
especially when you are creating
things with your friends,” she
said.
The prize package for each
winning film includes a
commitment that the film will
be entered into at least one
international film festival in
2017.

St Margaret’s students ace exams
• By Andrew King
THREE former St Margaret’s
College students achieved
distinction in their
International Baccalaureate
examinations, the results of
which came back recently.
Grace Sullivan, Madeleine
Tilley and Gabriela Coates
now have a few different
options when it comes to
choosing a university.
The school had a 100 per
cent pass rate of students
who sat the exams, with 41
per cent meeting the criteria
for academic excellence
scholarships to universities,
including Victoria University
of Wellington.
The International
Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme is a two-year
educational course aimed at
students aged 16 to 19.
The programme provides
an internationally-accepted
qualification for entry
into higher education and
is recognised by many
universities worldwide.
Grace, Madeleine and
Gabriela, who sat the exams
at the end of 2016, were all
awarded distinction for their
high marks throughout the
programme.
Grace was an academic
prefect last year and is also a
talented dancer.
She will attend Otago
University this year with two
scholarships called leaders
of tomorrow and vicechancellors.
Madeleine was deputy
head girl and is involved
in dance, debating and
drama.
She will head to the
University of Auckland with
a top achiever’s scholarship.
On top of her exam
success, Gabriela is a talented
sportswoman, having won
selection at both national
and international tennis
events.
She is weighing up her
options, and plans to study
at the University of Oxford,
University of Cambridge,
an Australian university or
Otago University.
School spokeswoman Beth
Rouse said the results were a
great success.
“The accomplishments
of these girls extend well
outside the academic arena,”
she said.

Papanui’s Mr Bean makes the cut
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LONG-TIME Riccarton Players
member Alistair Bean has
done everything in theatre
from performing in England to
working as a extra on TVNZ’s
comedy series of McPhail and
Gadsby.
Now, after acting in Riccarton
Players shows for more than 30
years, Bean, 53, of Papanui, will
debut as a director.
The theatre group will start
the year with a “thrill” bringing
Ted Tiller’s adaptation of Bram
Stoker’s novel Dracula back from
the dead.
“I did this show in Invercargill
in 1997 and it is written that well
that I thought if I had the opportunity
to direct, this is the show I
wanted to do,” he said.
Bean first became involved
with the Riccarton Players 31
years ago with the Riccarton
Players’ 25th Anniversary
production in 1985 of play The
Miracle Worker.
With aspirations to make performing
a full-time career in his
early 20s, Bean first gave it crack
in Britain.
He was going to perform in
a Christmas pantomime in
Southend, London for a year but
was soon told the show was only
professional for seven weeks.
LIFE IN THE ARTS: Alistair
Bean has been acting for
more than 30 years. In 1984
(left) he was a member of
street gang the Jets for
the Christchurch Operatic
Society’s production of
Westside Story in 1984. Now
he will debut as a director
with the Riccarton Players
in the production of Count
Dracula. (Right) – Rehearsals
for the show.
“I was only 23 at the time and
a little bit young in the ways of
the world so it all became a bit
intimidating so I went home,” he
said.
But determined to continue
with the arts as well as delve into
a career in finance, Mr Bean performed
with numerous theatre
companies in the city including
Canterbury Children’s Theatre
and The Christchurch Operatic
Society – now known as Showbiz
Christchurch.
He now has his own business
Alistair Bean & Assoc’s Financial
Services Ltd based in St Albans.
He said his most memorable
performance was a matinee show
of Les Miserables at the Isaac
Theatre Royal in 1994 when a 6.7
earthquake struck Arthur’s Pass.
“We had a revolver on stage
and thought these were the best
special effects we have ever had,”
he said.
He said the whole theatre was
evacuated and the performers
were out on the street in their
make up.
“The old chandelier in the
theatre was swinging 180 deg
. . . we had 400 stage lights above
us and any of them could have
come down but none of them did
fortunately,” he said.
One of his other memorable
shows was working with New
Zealand comedians David
McPhail and Jon Gadsby on
their political satire show, where
he was everything from a marching
girl to an All Black.
“I think the only thing that
hinders a lot of talent in New
Zealand is our lack of population
to pay a living professional wage,
otherwise would have many
more people choosing it as an
occupation,” he said.

​Foul smell in Papanui’s past
• By Murray Williams, Papanui
Heritage Group
IN 1922, the ratepayers of the
most urbanised part of Papanui
voted to amalgamate with
Christchurch city.
Prior to this, the whole of
the Papanui area had been
administered by the Waimairi
County Council and there was
a large degree of dissatisfaction
with the level of service
provided by this authority in
comparison to those that were
enjoyed by people living in
Christchurch.
One such example was that
since the 1880s, the more
central parts of Christchurch
had enjoyed the luxury of a
sewerage system that removed
human waste from individual
properties via underground
pipes.
However, those who lived
on the outskirts of the city,
for example ‘out in Papanui’,
still relied on the collection of
‘night soil’ by the ‘night man’
on a weekly basis. This was an
insanitary and malodorous
method.
The contents of the cans were
either buried in sand hills or
dumped in waterways.
The longed for relief was not
DIRTY WORK: Papanui residents relied on the collection of
‘night soil’ by the ‘night man’ on a weekly basis, an insanitary
and malodorous method of dealing with sewage.
however instantaneous.
Many Papanui citizens
had failed to appreciate that
providing a sewerage system
was not the role of the city
council.
In fact it was the
responsibility of the
independent Christchurch
Drainage Board and Papanui
had to wait its turn for the
board’s timetabled installation
programme.
The Papanui Progress League,
a lobby group which had
been formed to support the
amalgamation with the city,
kept up the pressure on the city
council, which was responsible
for the supervision of night soil
collection.
On February 17, 1927, the
secretary of the league fired
off an angry letter to the
Christchurch town clerk in
which he protested at night
carts starting the collection of
human effluent as early as 7pm
when it was still daylight.
The letter said: “The league
realises that it may be difficult to
do all the districts after dark, so
long as this system, a link with
the stone age, exists … but it is
nothing short of a scandal that
the pure air should be polluted
with these abominations at such
an early hour.”
The league at least received a
speedy reply.
On February 19, the town
clerk conceded that collection
should not start before 11pm
but noted that the relevant
by-law did not limit the hours
that night carts could travel on
streets.
Papanui had to wait until
1928 before contractors started
work on the system which
finally delivered this undoubted
benefit of urban living to what
was then Christchurch’s most
northern suburb.
St Margaret’s
Church rebuild
on the cards
• By Andrew King
A BISHOPDALE church gutted
by an arsonist could be torn down
with the rebuild under way by
mid-year.
The St Margaret’s Presbyterian
Church on Farrington Ave suffered
almost $2 million in damage when
Cheyenne Destiny Jade Reed, a
35-year-old technician, broke into
it and started a fire in May.
Reverend Andrew Nicol said
while some in the community are
still dealing with the loss of the
church, most are in good spirits.
“The timeline for a rebuild is not
clear yet, but we are hopeful we
could be building our new church
halfway through the year,” he said.
He said while most of the
new building will be covered by
insurance, he wanted to see some
fundraising from the congregation
to show real ownership.
“This would show we are completely
behind the rebuild,” he said.
Currently the congregation
meets at Isleworth School.
Reed was jailed for six years
for the arson and other charges,
including burglary, unlawful possession
of a knife, breach of bail,
receiving a computer and theft of
a car.

Hello
Flexible booking hours give families
greater choice
For busy working parents with young children, a local childcare centre that offers
flexibility can make all the difference when they are juggling work schedules and
caring for their family. That’s where the privately run First Learners centres come
to the fore.
Owned and operated by Linda Broekman,
who trained as a kindergarten teacher and has
decades of experience across the early learning
environment, the three First Learners centres
in Shirley, Mairehau and Rangiora cater for all
families’ needs.
“We are very flexible with our booking
hours,” says Linda. “We don’t have set
sessions, so parents and caregivers can leave
their children in our care on any day or days
and for any length of time that suits them.”
The centres cater for children from birth
to six years and are staffed by qualified and
experienced teachers, with a low child to staff
ratio.
“Our philosophy focuses on the needs of
each individual child, and we cater for their
differing developmental needs with separate
sections according to age groups,” Linda
explains.
First Learners offers a free play environment
as well as some structured time according
to age, ensuring that the children are kept
engaged, stimulated and challenged while
at the same time having fun and developing
their social skills, creativity and confidence.
The play areas are spacious and well
equipped, with the children free to access
both indoor and outdoor areas. By allowing
them to make choices about where they want
to be and what activities they want to get
involved in, the staff encourage the children
to explore and be curious and creative.
The centres offer the government subsidised
20 free hours, and these are “absolutely free,
with no extra charges”, Linda says.
And when children are enrolled at any of
the First Leaners centres, the first four weeks
are offered free, with certain conditions.
Details of these can be found on their website,
www.firstlearners.co.nz.
Linda and her staff have an open door
policy, so parents and caregivers are welcome
to call in at any time to inspect the centres and
chat about their child’s needs.
The centres are open Monday to Friday
from 7.30am to 5.30pm (Rangiora
7.15am-6pm). For more information visit
www.firstlearners.co.nz or call Linda on
(03) 313 1242.

Don’t make it easy for arsonists
• By Mark Thomas – Fire
Risk Management Officer
WE’RE IN a new year and
the same old incidents
keep on occurring. By this
I mean kitchen fires and
arsons.
An unattended cooking
fire in Sockburn this
week raised an interesting
dilemma for landlords.
Most know that there
is a new building law
requirement that landlords
provide smoke detectors in
their properties.
In the case referred to
there weren’t any smoke
alarms in a rental where
the tenant went off to work
forgetting about food
cooking on the stove.
Smoke was seen and Fire
Service troops attended.
There wasn’t too much of
a mess and our crew made
sure there was a brand new
10-year smoke detector
installed (free of charge
by the way) before the
occupant went back in.
But what would be the
result if the tenant had
gone to bed after cooking
rather than leaving for
work? What if then the
worst happened? How
would the law treat the
landlord?
It’s a good enough
reason to make sure an
alarm is there and that the
installation is recorded.
Then it’s the tenant’s
responsibility if the alarm
is removed. Otherwise
landlords, you could be in
the gun!
An arson fire in

morning was lit in

yard. Most of the damage
was cosmetic but some
light fittings and air
conditioning units were
destroyed. It probably
wouldn’t have happened if
combustibles hadn’t been
available.
Please make sure your
skips, bins and cardboard
cages are locked and away
from your building.
Don’t make it easy!

last year’s UC Championship
has been snapped up by the
Canberra Raiders.
Former Burnside High School
rugby player Mika Ravalawa has
arrived in Australia to begin a
two-year contract with the NRL
side.
As part of the contract, he
will be working within the
club as a cadet, which will see
him working from Raiders
headquarters and assisting with
club promotions and activities.
The-19-year-old will also be
staking his claim for game time
with the under-20 squad in the
National Youth Competition.
“I’m really thankful of the
opportunity the Raiders have
given me and I’m looking
forward to settling in and getting
to know all my new teammates.
The training is already at a really
high level and I need to make
sure I work hard and, hopefully,
get a chance to play in the NYC
team,” said Ravalawa.
Born in Fiji, Ravalawa made
the move to Christchurch
early last year after receiving
a scholarship at Burnside’s
international rugby programme.
The explosive back had
captained the Fijian under-18
sevens team and was
recommended to the programme
by former Crusaders and
Fijian assistant coach Tabai
Matson.
After hearing the high praise
from Matson, Mark Ealey, who
SPORTS
LEAGUE CONVERT: Former Burnside High School student Mika Ravalawa has joined the
Canberra Raiders on a two-year contract with the NRL team’s under-20 squad.
runs Burnside’s international
rugby programme, got Ravalawa
on board. He didn’t disappoint,
going on to win the programme’s
MVP award.
“His contribution to the first
XV was invaluable. He has both
work ethic on defence and the
ability to turn a game with just
one or two plays when he gets
the ball,” said Ealey.
Ravalawa was predominantly
used at centre but also spent time
on the wing for Burnside. He was
one of the standout players in
the UC Championship, finishing
with 14 tries, the second most
out of all players.
His efforts helped Burnside
win the South Island co-ed title.
The 20-14 win over South Otago
High School qualified them
for the national co-ed finals
tournament. It was on this stage
that Ravalawa was spotted by
Raiders recruitment and high
performance manager Peter
Mulholland.
“He was outstanding in his
position as an outside back; he
has pure athleticism and, after
I spoke with him, he also had
a strong knowledge on rugby
league.”
“Importantly as well, he’d
been in a good environment at
Burnside school where he had
successfully made the transition
away from his home and this
made us aware he can adapt to
living in a new environment,
which is important for a
young player at this age,” said
Mulholland.
“There’s no doubting his
natural ability, it’s just a matter
of him working hard and taking
the next steps in his career under
the coaching of Brett White and
the NYC coaching staff.”

Stray cat problem
on the increase
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THEY ARE cute, fluffy – and
reaching plague levels in
Christchurch.
Cat Rescue Christchurch has just
had its busiest month on record,
taking in 137 stray cats and kittens
for rehoming in December. That was
up from 80 at the same time the year
before.
It has left the charity with more
than $12,800 in vet bills for December
alone.
The numbers show no signs of
slowing, with another 40 arrived
already this month.
Managing director Beki Milligan
said the charity had been working
for more than a decade to try to
reduce Christchurch’s stray cat problem,
so the spike was disheartening.
“I like to think we’re getting
somewhere, but as soon as we think
that, something like December will
happen,” she said.
“It doesn’t take long for a problem
to get out of control, especially when
it’s cats. They can start reproducing
at 16 weeks, so if you’ve got one litter
and in four months they are reproducing
themselves, then you can
have a colony of 50 in six months.”
The majority of the cats had been
living wild for a long time, she said,
often in Christchurch’s industrial
areas.
HOMELESS: Leia, one of the
kittens Cat Rescue Christchurch
currently has up for adoption.
The kittens and some cats were
homed by the network of volunteer
foster families, who socialise and
train them before they are put up for
adoption.
Wild adult cats are usually released
again after they are desexed
and have medical needs taken care
off.

engineering precinct at
Canterbury University is set to
be completed in time for the
beginning of the academic year.
The university released a series
of images online showing what
the $144 million redevelopment

She said the college will
be expecting an increase in
numbers this year with full-time
student role numbers going up
by 20 per cent in the last five
years.
Last year, 3220 domestic and
international students were
enrolled in the college.
Final figures for this year is
not expected to be released until
February or March.
The completion of the precinct,
known as the “Canterbury Engineering
the Future” project is the
first major redevelopment of the
engineering department at the
university in 42 years.
A Canterbury University
spokeswoman said the project
comprises of a renewal of all
engineering facilities.
Meanwhile, students looking
to study chemical and process

no extreme flexibility required and, unlike
most folkdances, no jumping. It is based
around movement of the torso rather than
footwork.
Although travelling and weight
transitions are required for stage work, as
a beginner you will learn mainly to move
your hips and shoulders (“belly” dance is
a misnomer). Then you can start to put
movements together into phrases, add
“layering” (two or more things at once),

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Advanced Weight
Management Support +
GO SLIM GARCINIA GOLD is the latest
in Natural Weight Management Support
to hit the market. It contains three well
researched herbal extracts in optimum
amounts to support weight management
as well as offer surprising benefits for good
health.
An extract of the purple rind of
Mangosteen contains an amazing
group of compounds called Xanthones.
Xanthones may support weight loss by
helping normalising a slow metabolism
(common as we age), improving digestive
function and nutrient absorption, acting
as a powerful appetite suppressant by
promoting synthesis of glycogen in the
body (With adequate levels of glycogen
the brain receives a signal to suppress the
appetite), increasing energy and activity
levels (but non stimulating) as well as
supporting fat metabolism. Xanthones also
offer amazing health support in other ways.
They contain a wide variety of vitamins
and minerals as well as some of the most
powerful antioxidant nutrients found in
nature that may help slow the aging process,
ward off degenerative diseases and physical
and mental deterioration.
East Indian Globe Thistle has been
shown to increase the levels of the hormone
adiponectin which encourages food to
be burned as energy rather than stored
as fat. When East Indian Globe Thistle is
combined with Xanthones weight loss is
potentiated as shown in an 8 week study of
100 people on a calorie controlled diet with
exercise where half the participants took
the combination of the two herbs. Weight
loss benefits, including a reduction in hip
and waist size were significantly increased
in the 50 people using the combination of
East Indian Globe Thistle and Xanthones
compared to those on diet and exercise
alone.
The third ingredient Garcinia Cambogia
is a source of hydroxycitric acid or HCA.
HCA can help burn fat for energy, help stop
the formation of fat from excess calories
in the diet, while reducing the appetite as
well as food cravings. It has become one of
the most popular weight loss supplements
for this reason. Garcinia Cambogia also
increases your serotonin levels which can
improve mood and sleep.
One of the big problems today is we

Krill Oil No.1
for Good Health!
All our body cell membranes are made
up of phospholipids exactly the same
phospholipids as available in Krill Oil.
These phospholipids available in Krill
are its big advantage over fish oil that is
in a triglyceride form and that must be
converted by our liver to phospholipid
form to be able to have benefits to our
cell membranes. This conversion of
triglycerides to phospholipids is inefficient
and a much larger dose of fish oil is
needed for the same benefits as a much
smaller dose of Krill Oil. Some research
has shown Krill Oil to be 48 times more
potent than fish oil. Another benefit of Krill
Oil is it contains one of the most potent
antioxidants known, Astaxanthin.
Recent research shows Krill Oil can
lower your risk for cardiovascular disease,
metabolic syndrome, obesity, Type-2
diabetes and may lessen a variety of brain
and mental disorders including Autism
and Dyslexia, Parkinson’s and some forms
of Alzheimer’s disease. Krill Oil can help
normalise high blood pressure by reducing
inflammation of the blood vessels and
improving blood quality. It is also highly
effective at reducing high cholesterol
levels, increasing HDL cholesterol,
reducing triglycerides (a damaging blood
fat), reducing C - reactive protein and
reducing other damaging blood factors. It
can also reduce dangerous fat levels in the
liver and heart. Krill Oil is also a natural
anti-inflammatory and can help reduce
NOR’WEST NEWS
pain, improve joint function and reduce
symptoms of arthritis.
The secret is therefore the phospholipid
and Astaxanthin content rather than
just the amount of Krill oil in the soft gel
capsule. Some brands have very low levels
of these two important compounds and
may not even list them on the label. For the
maximum nutritional benefit we are happy
to help you choose a quality product with
effective amounts of Phospholipids and
Astaxanthin and at a realistic price.

Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, Phone: 388-
5757. We are Always Happy to Help You!

NOR’WEST [Edition NEWS datE]

Stretch
your way back to it
As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you
may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in.
This is a good indicator from our
bodies, that the holiday routine
was somewhat different. Perhaps
you sit a lot for work and you
were on the go or, you are normally more
active and the holiday break was more
sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay
attention to these signals the easier it will
be to deal with it.
So what can you do to ward off pain
and stiffness and boost your energy and
alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises
at your desk that will release tension from
head to toe. They take only a few minutes.
Set the alarm on your cell phone or
computer to go off every hour to remind
you it’s time to get up and stretch.
Just stand up and sit down - no hands
If you stand up and sit down (over and
over) without using your hands it can be a
challenge, do it while you’re on the phone;
no one will know.
Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders
Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders,
lifting them high up to your ears. Hold.
Release and drop. Repeat three times.
Loosen the hands with air circles
Clench both fists, stretching both hands
out in front of you.
Make circles in the air, first in one direction,
to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles.
Shake out the hands.
Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms
Stretch your left hand out in front of you,
pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your
right hand to increase the stretch, pushing
your fingers down and toward the body.
Be gentle do the same with the other hand.
Now stretch your left hand out straight
in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing
skyward. Use your right hand to increase
the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward
your body. Do the same on the other side.
Release the upper body with a torso twist
Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right
and grab the back of your chair with your
right hand, and grab the arm of the chair
with your left. With eyes level, use your
grasp on the chair to help twist your torso
around as far to the back of the room as
possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes
continue the stretch see how far around
the room you can peer. Slowly come back
to facing forward. Repeat on the other side.
Do leg extensions
Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself
and extend your legs straight out in front of
you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and
point your toes five times. Release. Repeat.
Stretch your back with a “big hug”
Hug your body, placing the right hand on
your left shoulder and the left hand on your
right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing
the area between your shoulder blades.
Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back
Extend one arm out straight in front of you.
With the other hand, grab the elbow of the
outstretched arm and pull it across your
chest, stretching your shoulder and upper
back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the
other arm in front of you - repeat.
Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug”
Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has
wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or
wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your
feet together, flat on the floor.
Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms
dangle loosely to the floor. Release your
neck. Now bring your hands behind your
legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm
(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand
grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your
back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release
your hands to the floor again. Repeat three
times or as often as it feels good.
Look up to release upper body
Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch
your arms overhead and interlock your
fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as
you lift your chin up, tilt your head back,
and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale,
exhale, release.
