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

performances have seen him<br />
snapped by rival code rugby<br />

him displaying the explosive<br />

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

CONFUSION: A ‘to let’ sign on the front lawn of Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee’s office had some locals wondering if he was moving.<br />
‘Don’t worry’ – Gerry’s staying<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
DON’T BE misled by this sign.<br />
Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee is<br />
not moving out of his Greers Rd<br />
electorate office.<br />
“It is the rear section for let,<br />
not here,” Mr Brownlee said.<br />
Residents were wondering if he<br />
was moving out of the area.<br />
“We saw the sign and thought<br />
he is taking off,” said Gail Scott,<br />
of Bryndwr.<br />

was contacted on Friday by<br />

wondered if it was going to cause<br />
some confusion.<br />
“Don’t worry, he is not<br />
moving,” she said.<br />
“They will have to carry him<br />
out of here.”<br />
Mr Brownlee has held the Ilam<br />

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

Stolen credit cards found<br />
in Bryndwr property search<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
TWO STOLEN credit cards have<br />
been recovered as police continue<br />
to crackdown on youth crime in<br />
the north-west.<br />
A search warrant<br />
was issued to look<br />
for stolen items<br />
at a property on<br />
Aorangi Rd, Bryndwr,<br />
on Tuesday,<br />
which was believed<br />
to be linked with<br />
Nick Adcock two burglaries in<br />
Papanui.<br />
A youth has been spoken to<br />
by police and a man has been<br />
charged with using a document<br />
for pecuniary advantage.<br />
It is alleged the man used a stolen<br />
credit card to make purchases<br />
totalling about $400.<br />
Police say he could possibly face<br />
methamphetamine possession<br />
and utensil charges as well.<br />
Among the recovered items<br />
were Australian senior citizen<br />
cards police believe were taken in<br />
the Papanui burglaries as well as<br />
stolen credits cards and electronics.<br />
It follows another warrant issued<br />
on <strong>January</strong> 6 in Bryndwr,<br />
where a 13-year-old suspect was<br />
CAUGHT: A man has been charged after alledgedly using a<br />
stolen credit card to make purchases totalling about $400.<br />
identified as a person of interest<br />
in the Papanui burglaries. From<br />
that warrant, police established<br />
another address that potentially<br />
contained more stolen property.<br />
Police say charges are yet to be<br />
laid.<br />
The crackdown is part of an operation,<br />
code-named Piper, which<br />
targets the top 10 youth believed<br />
to be responsible for burglaries,<br />
thefts, vandalism, graffiti, intimidation<br />
and other offending.<br />
Acting Sergeant Nick Adcock<br />
said seven of the 10 top offenders<br />
have been dealt with for offending<br />
with various degrees of seriousness<br />
since the operation started in<br />
September.<br />
He said he couldn’t comment<br />
on the specifics but the offences<br />
ranged from burglary, aggravated<br />
robbery and trespass.<br />
Operation Piper is based out of<br />
the Papanui police station and is<br />
aimed at giving opportunities to<br />
break the cycle of crime.<br />
It’s part of a wider focus<br />
throughout northern and eastern<br />
suburbs to reduce youth crime<br />
and a national goal to reduce it 25<br />
per cent by June.<br />
TEAMWORK: The Fire Service and Ministry of Education<br />
are working together to reduce opportunities for arsonists<br />
around schools.<br />
Plan to beat school<br />
vandals, arsonists<br />
•From page 1<br />
Wainoni was hit by vandals<br />
this month. It also had a<br />
number of windows smashed,<br />
some of which have since been<br />
boarded over.<br />
Mr Irvine said the unoccupied<br />
schools were “pretty high<br />
risk” when it came to fires.<br />
He said Aranui High was<br />
lucky to not have a fire during<br />
the recent attack.<br />
Funding can be allocated to<br />
schools to repair buildings that<br />
have been deliberately set on<br />
fire, provided the damage is<br />
under $2500.<br />
The MoE has a funding programme,<br />
backed by private sector<br />
insurance, to pay for repairs<br />
to school buildings damaged in<br />
a fire or natural disaster.<br />
Buildings will be covered for<br />
loss or damage costing more<br />
than $2500 to repair and that<br />
meets the criteria.<br />

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

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

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

the country. I can tell you these<br />

How old were you when you<br />
first had children?<br />
I had my first child when I was<br />
19. It was a surprise. It wasn’t in<br />
my plan to get pregnant in my<br />
second year of university. By the<br />
time Sam, my eldest boy, was one<br />
I was back at university doing a<br />

him and holding down two parttime<br />
jobs. I have no idea how I<br />

the most difficult times in your<br />

No. I always had plenty of<br />
family support around me. I<br />
have a very close family. But the<br />
most difficult time of my life was<br />
when I broke up with my first<br />

three children. For me, it got to<br />

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

What was the job that got you<br />
to turn your career around?<br />
Probably the one that started<br />
me on the road to financial<br />
recovery and career development<br />
was the one at CCS Disability<br />
Action where I was the regional<br />
fundraisng manager. That was<br />
where I felt like my skills were<br />
fully utilised and I was given a<br />
sufficient amount of authority.<br />

I live in my house and we have<br />
a very nice time when we are<br />

and decided I am not really cut<br />
out for living with another person.<br />
I am much too independent.<br />
So you are keeping the magic<br />
alive?<br />
Exactly, and my independence.<br />
I make my own money.<br />
If I want a diamond ring, I buy<br />
it, I don’t worry about someone<br />
else. I watched my mother model<br />
independence to me because my<br />
father died when I was 12. She<br />
had a very hard road to hoe and<br />
she was and still is an extremely<br />
hard-worker. And again, a very<br />
independent thinker, bright and<br />
an inspiring woman.<br />

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

awarded distinction for their<br />
high marks throughout the<br />
programme.<br />
Grace was an academic<br />
prefect last year and is also a<br />
talented dancer.<br />

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

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

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

FLAME FILES<br />
Don’t make it easy for arsonists<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire<br />
Risk Management Officer<br />
WE’RE IN a new year and<br />
the same old incidents<br />
keep on occurring. By this<br />
I mean kitchen fires and<br />
arsons.<br />
An unattended cooking<br />
fire in Sockburn this<br />
week raised an interesting<br />
dilemma for landlords.<br />
Most know that there<br />
is a new building law<br />
requirement that landlords<br />
provide smoke detectors in<br />
their properties.<br />
In the case referred to<br />
there weren’t any smoke<br />
alarms in a rental where<br />
the tenant went off to work<br />
forgetting about food<br />
cooking on the stove.<br />
Smoke was seen and Fire<br />
Service troops attended.<br />
There wasn’t too much of<br />
a mess and our crew made<br />
sure there was a brand new<br />
10-year smoke detector<br />
installed (free of charge<br />
by the way) before the<br />
occupant went back in.<br />
But what would be the<br />
result if the tenant had<br />
gone to bed after cooking<br />
rather than leaving for<br />
work? What if then the<br />
worst happened? How<br />
would the law treat the<br />
landlord?<br />
It’s a good enough<br />
reason to make sure an<br />
alarm is there and that the<br />
installation is recorded.<br />
Then it’s the tenant’s<br />
responsibility if the alarm<br />
is removed. Otherwise<br />
landlords, you could be in<br />
the gun!<br />
An arson fire in<br />
Addington on Wednesday<br />
morning was lit in<br />
cardboard stored under<br />
a canopy in the rear<br />
PHOTOS: ANDREW KING<br />
yard. Most of the damage<br />
was cosmetic but some<br />
light fittings and air<br />
conditioning units were<br />
destroyed. It probably<br />
wouldn’t have happened if<br />
combustibles hadn’t been<br />
available.<br />
Please make sure your<br />
skips, bins and cardboard<br />
cages are locked and away<br />
from your building.<br />

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

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

Work set to finish on university project<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THE HEART of the new<br />
engineering precinct at<br />
Canterbury University is set to<br />
be completed in time for the<br />
beginning of the academic year.<br />
The university released a series<br />
of images online showing what<br />
the $144 million redevelopment<br />
of the engineering precinct will<br />
look like.<br />
It first announced the College<br />
of Engineering would be redeveloped<br />
in 2014.<br />
The Core, at the centre of the<br />
renewal will include spaces for<br />
students and staff to socialise,<br />
built-in workstations, a cafe and<br />
flexible seating options.<br />
Canterbury University’s<br />
College of<br />
Engineering provice<br />
chancellor<br />
professor Jan<br />
Evans-Freeman<br />
(left) said the civil<br />
and natural engineering<br />
wing and mechanical<br />
engineering wing will be ready<br />
for teaching in time for the beginning<br />
of semester 2 this year.<br />
She said the college will<br />
be expecting an increase in<br />
numbers this year with full-time<br />
student role numbers going up<br />
by 20 per cent in the last five<br />
years.<br />
Last year, 3220 domestic and<br />
international students were<br />
enrolled in the college.<br />
Final figures for this year is<br />
not expected to be released until<br />
February or March.<br />
The completion of the precinct,<br />
known as the “Canterbury Engineering<br />
the Future” project is the<br />
first major redevelopment of the<br />
engineering department at the<br />
university in 42 years.<br />
A Canterbury University<br />
spokeswoman said the project<br />
comprises of a renewal of all<br />
engineering facilities.<br />
Meanwhile, students looking<br />
to study chemical and process<br />
engineering will now know<br />
what the new building will<br />
look like. Images were recently<br />
released of the wing completed<br />
last year.<br />
Construction work has<br />
been completed by Hawkins<br />
Construction and Dominion<br />
Constructors.<br />
The precinct is based on the<br />
northern side of Ilam along the<br />
Creyke Rd frontage.<br />

House of Cards is a day-time bridge<br />
club situated in Merivale. Our philosophy<br />
is to provide a friendly, family-type<br />
environment for bridge players.<br />
Bridge is not only a wonderful,<br />
stimulating game, it is also splendidly<br />
social. We have had much pleasure in<br />
seeing many new friendships flourish over<br />
the years.<br />
House of Cards is especially renowned<br />
for its teaching and we have taught<br />
literally thousands of beginners as well as<br />
improvers, in Christchurch and around<br />
New Zealand. We have run several<br />
national teachers’ conferences and have<br />
been instrumental in creating a national<br />
standard for bridge teachers.<br />
We have also written a whole series<br />
of bridge books for new and improving<br />
players which are widely used in New<br />
Zealand, Australia and the United<br />
Kingdom.<br />
We are a friendly, enthusiastic team<br />
who welcome new players. We have four<br />
sessions dedicated especially for the novice<br />
player, so you needn’t feel nervous!<br />
We will also introduce you to<br />
SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club<br />
catering for the improving player, where<br />
you can practice online during your course.<br />
It’s a great way to learn.<br />

Belly Dancing<br />
Show your body a little love with some<br />
fun, gentle exercise starting this Valentine’s<br />
Day. Kashmir’s beginner belly dance class<br />
runs for eight weeks and explores not only<br />
the movement of belly dance but also a<br />
little of the background. You can watch<br />
some of the top belly dancers on video,<br />
begin to get a feel for the music, and get a<br />
glimpse into a different culture all while<br />
learning about how your own body can<br />
move to express the music as a belly dancer.<br />
Belly dance is the dance of celebration<br />
and entertainment in many Middle Eastern<br />
countries. Everyone does it (men, women,<br />
singing and receive six weeks of group<br />
singing lessons for $70. The lessons begin<br />
on Wednesday 1 February at 7pm.<br />
The Chorus was founded in 1985 and<br />
is directed by Virginia Humphrey-Taylor.<br />
There are over 100 members with ages<br />
ranging from 21 years to over 70. Sweet<br />
Adelines is a world-wide organisation<br />
with over 600 choruses singing in the<br />
barbershop style.<br />
All ages and voice ranges are welcome.<br />
The ability to read music is not necessary.<br />

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

& learn to line dance<br />
If you like to dance, want a social life<br />
with a friendly bunch of people, then<br />
Line Dancing could be just what you<br />
are looking for. Scientists theorize that<br />
dancing has a triple benefit for the brain,<br />
it increases blood flow, reduces stress<br />
and keeps that vital grey matter in shape.<br />
Dancing also combines physical, mental<br />
and social activity and is a whole lot of<br />
fun too. Laughing is good for you because<br />
it increases our ability to think positively<br />
and we even cater for people who think<br />
they have two left feet. You can have all<br />
these benefits plus meeting new friends by<br />
joining “Cathedral City Line Dancers”.<br />

Aikido Shinryukan<br />
Do you enjoy cards?<br />
Canterbury<br />
This is the advice we always give to<br />
people who want to learn aikido. It really<br />
is that easy. Of course every new student<br />
is naturally apprehensive about beginning<br />
a Japanese martial art; we have all “been<br />
there.” But to begin you need to take that<br />
first step.<br />
At Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury we<br />
take care to ease beginners into training<br />
through our basics classes taken by<br />
senior instructors. Step by step we build<br />
knowledge. We focus on beginners<br />
understanding the fundamentals of aikido<br />
so that they can take the next step and<br />
begin what we hope will be a life long study<br />
of the art. Anyone can do aikido regardless<br />

in 2012 after major improvement work<br />
masterminded by renowned golfer Greg<br />

lessons and a fully-stocked Pro Shop, an<br />
exceptional all-round golfing experience is<br />
complete.<br />

clubhouse offers a warm and relaxing space<br />
to unwind, with onsite caterers Moveable<br />

“We want students to develop technically<br />
and physically as quickly as they are<br />
capable” notes chief instructor Andrew<br />
Williamson. “We can then introduce<br />
them to more advanced training and<br />
international instructors and build on the<br />
total knowledge base held in our group.”<br />

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

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

Tuesday <strong>January</strong> <strong>24</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 27<br />
Stretch<br />
your way back to it<br />
As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you<br />
may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in.<br />
This is a good indicator from our<br />
bodies, that the holiday routine<br />
was somewhat different. Perhaps<br />
you sit a lot for work and you<br />
were on the go or, you are normally more<br />
active and the holiday break was more<br />
sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay<br />
attention to these signals the easier it will<br />
be to deal with it.<br />
So what can you do to ward off pain<br />
and stiffness and boost your energy and<br />
alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises<br />
at your desk that will release tension from<br />
head to toe. They take only a few minutes.<br />
Set the alarm on your cell phone or<br />
computer to go off every hour to remind<br />
you it’s time to get up and stretch.<br />
Just stand up and sit down - no hands<br />
If you stand up and sit down (over and<br />
over) without using your hands it can be a<br />
challenge, do it while you’re on the phone;<br />
no one will know.<br />
Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders<br />
Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders,<br />
lifting them high up to your ears. Hold.<br />
Release and drop. Repeat three times.<br />
Loosen the hands with air circles<br />
Clench both fists, stretching both hands<br />
out in front of you.<br />
Make circles in the air, first in one direction,<br />
to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles.<br />
Shake out the hands.<br />
Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms<br />
Stretch your left hand out in front of you,<br />
pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your<br />
right hand to increase the stretch, pushing<br />
your fingers down and toward the body.<br />
Be gentle do the same with the other hand.<br />
Now stretch your left hand out straight<br />
in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing<br />
skyward. Use your right hand to increase<br />
the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward<br />
your body. Do the same on the other side.<br />
Release the upper body with a torso twist<br />
Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right<br />
and grab the back of your chair with your<br />
right hand, and grab the arm of the chair<br />
with your left. With eyes level, use your<br />
grasp on the chair to help twist your torso<br />
around as far to the back of the room as<br />
possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes<br />
continue the stretch see how far around<br />
the room you can peer. Slowly come back<br />
to facing forward. Repeat on the other side.<br />
Do leg extensions<br />
Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself<br />
and extend your legs straight out in front of<br />
you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and<br />
point your toes five times. Release. Repeat.<br />
Stretch your back with a “big hug”<br />
Hug your body, placing the right hand on<br />
your left shoulder and the left hand on your<br />
right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing<br />
the area between your shoulder blades.<br />
Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back<br />
Extend one arm out straight in front of you.<br />
With the other hand, grab the elbow of the<br />
outstretched arm and pull it across your<br />
chest, stretching your shoulder and upper<br />
back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the<br />
other arm in front of you - repeat.<br />
Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug”<br />
Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has<br />
wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or<br />
wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your<br />
feet together, flat on the floor.<br />
Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms<br />
dangle loosely to the floor. Release your<br />
neck. Now bring your hands behind your<br />
legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm<br />
(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand<br />
grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your<br />
back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release<br />
your hands to the floor again. Repeat three<br />
times or as often as it feels good.<br />
Look up to release upper body<br />
Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch<br />
your arms overhead and interlock your<br />
fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as<br />
you lift your chin up, tilt your head back,<br />
and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale,<br />
exhale, release.<br />
