JUNIOR EEL: Joseph Taipari has made the Parramatta NRL club’s junior team after<br />

relocating to Sydney late last year.<br />

League break for young talent<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

FORMER Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School student Joseph<br />

Taipari has got his big Sydney<br />

league break.<br />

The 17-year-old has been<br />

named in the Parramatta<br />

Eels junior squad for the <strong>2017</strong><br />

season.<br />

Taipari left for Sydney last<br />

year to join the Eels set up on a<br />

permanent basis and push his<br />

case for selection in the club’s<br />

junior squad for this year –<br />

and the tactic appears to have<br />

paid off.<br />

He will represent the Eels<br />

in the S.G. Ball Cup, played<br />

between teams made up of<br />

players aged under 18 from<br />

19 NRL and NSW Cup junior<br />

teams.<br />

A HEARING to determine if the<br />

Edgeware Pool rebuild can go<br />

ahead has been cancelled with a<br />

decision due in two weeks.<br />

A resource consent hearing was<br />

scheduled for Thursday, but due to<br />

no submitters wishing to be heard,<br />

an independent commissioner will<br />

make a decision within two weeks.<br />

The pool was demolished due to<br />

deterioration in November 2006.<br />

Since then the community has been<br />

trying to get it replaced.<br />

The closure sparked protest<br />

marches, public meetings and bitter<br />

clashes with councillors and former<br />

mayor Garry Moore.<br />

A small number of residents had<br />

written submissions against the<br />

proposal, which would include a<br />

25m heated outdoor pool; a children’s<br />

pool with jet fountains; and a<br />

building with clubrooms, changing<br />

rooms and a cafeteria.<br />

But they did not want to speak at<br />

last week’s hearing.<br />

St Albans Pavilion and Pool Inc<br />

spokesman Paul Somerville said<br />

fundraising and building would<br />

be the easy part once the resource<br />

consent was granted.<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK <strong>News</strong>...................................... 3-9<br />

THE LONG running saga of the<br />

Edgeware Pool will take another<br />

turn in a couple of weeks.<br />

We report on page 1 today that<br />

a hearing to determine whether<br />

the pool gets resource consent<br />

has been cancelled.<br />

A commissioner will make a<br />

ruling without hearing submitters<br />

because a number of people<br />

involved in the debate now don’t<br />

want to be heard.<br />

That means almost certainly<br />

the consent will be granted and<br />

then the fundraiing will get rolling<br />

in earnest.<br />

There’s plans for a lot of facilities<br />

right across Christchurch but<br />

the timelines keep extending.<br />

That’s giving the council some<br />

breathing room from a finance<br />

point of view, but it’s about time<br />

some of the concrete started<br />

pouring.<br />

Firefighters force entry<br />

to wake sleeping couple<br />

Fashion<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

FIREFIGHTERS WERE forced<br />

to break into a Bishopdale<br />

flat to prevent a fire while the<br />

couple inside slept.<br />

Gardening<br />

Neighbours raised the alarm<br />

at 7.45am on Thursday when<br />

they saw smoke escaping from<br />

a Veronica Pl flat, alerting the<br />

Fire Service there might be<br />

people inside.<br />

They also heard the smoke<br />

alarm.<br />

When firefighters arrived<br />

they banged on the door to alert<br />

anyone who was inside.<br />

When there was no response<br />

Motoring<br />

they cut their way through<br />

safety latches on a window and<br />

climbed in.<br />

A pot on the oven had been<br />

left on and smoke was filling<br />

the flat.<br />

It was taken outside and<br />

Tasty<br />

the couple was woken up by<br />

Bites<br />

firefighters.<br />

Harewood station officer Russell<br />

Fairbrass said the couple<br />

was lucky their bedroom was<br />

closed as smoke filled the flat.<br />

“The (smoke) alarm was<br />

audible through the door so I’m<br />

LUCKY: Firefighters had to force entry to a Bishopdale flat<br />

to prevent a pot on an oven catching fire while the couple in<br />

the next room slept.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN.<br />

not sure why they didn’t wake<br />

up . . . they are quite lucky as<br />

these kind of fires can get pretty<br />

big, pretty fast,” he said.<br />

Mr Fairbrass said it was an<br />

all too common event they<br />

had to deal with and had one<br />

simple message.<br />

“Keep looking while you’re<br />

cooking,” he said.<br />

While firefighters were clearing<br />

the house of smoke they<br />

installed another smoke alarm<br />

in the bedroom.<br />

Making bus rides<br />

more enjoyable<br />

• Ashleigh Monk<br />

MAGDA Lorenzo has spent the<br />

last two months delivering books<br />

to bus stops for commuters to<br />

enjoy.<br />

Ms Lorenzo started the<br />

initiative ‘The Commuting Book’<br />

to encourage reading and the use<br />

of public transport.<br />

The idea is for people to pick<br />

up a book at their bus stop, read<br />

it while they ride the bus, then<br />

drop it off when they get to their<br />

stop.<br />

“The idea behind The<br />

Commuting Books is to create<br />

opportunities for people to<br />

engage in reading by bringing<br />

them (books) into public spaces,”<br />

she said.<br />

“I see bus stops a social hub<br />

and it’s very interesting the way<br />

you can engage in conversation<br />

with people waiting for the bus<br />

with you and sometimes the<br />

books are an excuse to do<br />

that.”<br />

Ms Lorenzo delivered the<br />

books herself on her bicycle she<br />

had named ‘Mantis’.<br />

“It depends on the weather<br />

that day; I can ride for several<br />

hours around the city. Normally<br />

I choose one of the bus routes<br />

and leave the books at the stops<br />

on that route.”<br />

Each book had a ‘Commuting<br />

Book’ sticker with informations<br />

and instructions on the project.<br />

Although Ms Lorenzo has not<br />

had much feedback she said the<br />

travelling of books was a good<br />

sign.<br />

“Some of them are responding<br />

through Facebook. They are<br />

being very generous with their<br />

comments and their feedback.<br />

It’s very encouraging.”<br />

Ms Lorenzo estimated she<br />

had distributed about 230<br />

books so far, and hoped that<br />

number would rise as the project<br />

developed.<br />

“We hope to be implementing<br />

a few different aspects to the<br />

project in the next couple of<br />

months.”<br />

Crowds gather to enjoy soaring kites<br />

Kites of all varieties and sizes fluttered and soared over New Brighton Beach on Sunday delighting children and adults alike. Hundreds<br />

turned out to enjoy the day along with a performance from The New Brighton Silver Band on the promenade.<br />

The Blind Care Company has been<br />

cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />

for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />

have seen changes in both fashion and<br />

technology. Styles have ranged from<br />

festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />

and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />

from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />

and in every colour or pattern popular<br />

since the 1960s.<br />

Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />

Company has the expertise to keep your<br />

window treatments looking fresh and<br />

working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />

chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />

dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />

can be removed so that your blinds<br />

smell fresh and are restored to their<br />

original glory. The company can repair<br />

blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />

in stock. And if you want something<br />

completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />

available for purchase.<br />

The company prides itself on efficient<br />

service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />

with most work taking one or two<br />

days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />

available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />

for clients. The Cashel Street location<br />

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />

and drop-off service is available. 150<br />

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />

EXCITEMENT: Odin Weidner prepares to see how high he can fly<br />

his kite.<br />

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements<br />

or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />

50 per day. That means they will come to<br />

your home or office, remove and clean<br />

your blinds on the spot and reinstall them<br />

for you.<br />

A cut-down and size alteration service<br />

is available in order that the blinds you<br />

bought are a perfect fit.<br />

They are experts in their field with a<br />

huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />

In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />

for at least 8 years, and many up to 20<br />

years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />

will work hard to make sure it gets done,<br />

including one job of 800 blinds which<br />

they completed in 4 days.<br />

From Super Rugby to City2Surf<br />

ashion<br />

Gardening<br />

otoring<br />

asty Bites<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

AT THIS time of the year former<br />

Super Rugby player Ged Robinson<br />

is normally getting towards peak<br />

fitness ahead of a busy season.<br />

This year he’s all about keeping<br />

Christchurch well fed with what<br />

he calls a Kiwi take on Italian style<br />

pizza.<br />

Fed by Ged will be one of many<br />

tasty and nutritious options<br />

available for those needing refuelling<br />

following The Star City2Surf. The<br />

former Crusader, whose mobile<br />

wood fire pizza oven is regularly<br />

based outside<br />

Il Magro<br />

espresso bar<br />

will be<br />

awaiting<br />

runners at the<br />

finish area of<br />

next month’s<br />

event.<br />

Outside<br />

of rugby<br />

Robinson<br />

has always had a love for food. After<br />

recently hanging up the boots he’s<br />

now had more time to concentrate<br />

on that love.<br />

“I’m a front rower so I love food.<br />

I moved to Melbourne and played<br />

over there for three years. My wife<br />

and I spent a lot of time checking out<br />

the city and enjoying the food, that<br />

probably fired up the taste buds even<br />

more,” said Robinson.<br />

His first experiments with pizza<br />

came during his time while playing<br />

for the Melbourne Rebels, regularly<br />

feeding teammates on his own<br />

creations. His passion for fuelling a<br />

squad has grown ever since.<br />

After spending a decade as a<br />

professional rugby player Robinson<br />

knows all about nutrition, something<br />

he’s taken to the oven.<br />

“Italian style pizza has really high<br />

quality meat and really low in sugar<br />

and salt. I do make brown flour<br />

pizza dough as well as the traditional<br />

white. It’s all really good quality,<br />

non-processed food,” said Robinson.<br />

Robinson is continually working<br />

on new creations and by the time<br />

March 19 rolls around he may just<br />

have a new recipe to unveil.<br />

Yacht club’s $1.17m shed<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

Trevor Kite<br />

THE Christchurch Yacht Club<br />

is hoping it will soon get the go<br />

ahead for a new rowing shed<br />

to replace the one demolished<br />

after the June 2011 earthquake.<br />

The Moncks Bay-based club<br />

wants to build a new $1.17<br />

million shed in<br />

a more seaward<br />

position to allow<br />

room for the<br />

Coastal Pathway<br />

walking and<br />

cycle route between<br />

it and the<br />

road. Building<br />

the shed further<br />

seaward means higher costs.<br />

The club already has resource<br />

consent and a building permit<br />

for the new shed. It has also<br />

asked the city council to<br />

contribute $327,595 towards<br />

the extra costs associated with<br />

providing for the Coastal Pathway,<br />

along with an additional<br />

$239,713 because the public<br />

will have use of the shed’s<br />

decks and ramps.<br />

The club has raised $6<strong>07</strong>,000<br />

so far, and has carried out soil<br />

testing.<br />

It has met with both the<br />

city council and the Coastal<br />

Pathway group over the last<br />

two months and expects to<br />

get a response from the city<br />

council soon.<br />

Once funding has been<br />

secured, work could begin<br />

almost immediately and<br />

would take about 10 months to<br />

complete.<br />

The new shed would be 5.5m<br />

further seaward, enlarging the<br />

space for a public walking and<br />

cycle route between it and the<br />

road from 1m to 4m.<br />

The club’s shed and<br />

boardwalk project convener<br />

Trevor Kite said the proposal<br />

was a win-win scenario for the<br />

club and community.<br />

“Although we have the<br />

right to put the shed back as<br />

it was, to have done so would<br />

have denied the community<br />

the chance to walk past there<br />

except for a little track,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It has been identified as the<br />

major obstacle for completing<br />

the Coastal Pathway between<br />

Ferrymead and Sumner.”<br />

Mr Kite said the club would<br />

function much better when<br />

it could once again provide<br />

a shed for members to store<br />

boats in.<br />

WRECKED: The<br />

Christchurch Yacht<br />

Club’s rowing shed<br />

was demolished<br />

following the June<br />

2011 earthquake,<br />

which was centred<br />

less than 200m<br />

away.<br />

This would also help with<br />

traffic and parking in the area,<br />

as members would not have to<br />

bring their boats with them on<br />

trailers.<br />

The shed had already been<br />

damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 2011<br />

earthquake and was deemed<br />

unsafe following the magnitude<br />

6.3 quake in June that year,<br />

which was centred less than<br />

200m away.<br />

The clubrooms were<br />

also damaged by the 2011<br />

earthquakes, although they are<br />

still able to be used and will be<br />

rebuilt at a later date.<br />

Decision<br />

over pool in<br />

two weeks<br />

•From page 1<br />

It has been about three years<br />

since the consent to rebuild the<br />

pool was lodged, Mr Somerville<br />

said.<br />

If the consent to build was<br />

granted, the city council would<br />

transfer the ownership of the land<br />

into a community trust, set up by<br />

the St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />

Inc, for $1.<br />

Mr Somerville said he estimated<br />

they would need about $3-4<br />

million to build the facility.<br />

“This will be a great community<br />

asset . . . with the new cycleway<br />

going right past the entrance<br />

to the pool, the new St Albans<br />

Community Centre and the<br />

upgrade of the St Albans shopping<br />

centre, it will be a vibrant place,”<br />

he said.<br />

The trust has 10 years to build<br />

the pool, otherwise the land will<br />

revert back to the city council.<br />

Mr Somerville was confident<br />

they would be finished within five<br />

years.<br />

The proposal would provide 24<br />

car parks and was expected to be<br />

open all-year round during the<br />

day.<br />

Urlich returns to the stage<br />

ashion<br />

IT’S BEEN a quiet 18 years for<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

Margaret Urlich – and that’s<br />

just the way she likes it.<br />

The New Zealand Music and<br />

Aria award-winning singer<br />

hasn’t released new music since<br />

Second Nature in 1999.<br />

Next month, she will perform<br />

with her former When The<br />

Cat’s Away bandmates Annie<br />

Gardening<br />

Crummer, Debbie Harwood<br />

and another longtime collaborator,<br />

Sharon O’Neill, at Lincoln’s<br />

Selwyn Sounds concert.<br />

They will be part of a starstudded<br />

line up also featuring<br />

Dragon, Mi-Sex, The Jordan<br />

Luck Band and Jason Kerrison.<br />

These days Urlich lives on a<br />

otoring<br />

rural property Australia’s<br />

New South Wales southern<br />

highlands, halfway between<br />

Sydney and Canberra.<br />

Although she never made<br />

a decision to stop recording,<br />

she has been busy over the<br />

last two decades raising two<br />

children, Ava, 18, and Carlos,<br />

15, with husband George<br />

asty Bites<br />

Gorga, and teaching singing in<br />

high schools. She often mentors<br />

young singers before they<br />

sit their university entrance<br />

exams.<br />

Urlich said she didn’t miss<br />

the limelight.<br />

“I quite like being normal.<br />

I only ever started singing<br />

because I just love it. The whole<br />

fame side of it, I didn’t think<br />

about that much and it always<br />

felt a little bit uncomfortable for<br />

me,” she said.<br />

“I don’t need to have a high<br />

profile to be happy. In fact, I<br />

think the opposite is true for<br />

me.”<br />

Although she has been living<br />

across the ditch since the early<br />

1990s, she comes back to play<br />

in New Zealand about five or<br />

six times a year, usually with<br />

Crummer, Harwood, O’Neill<br />

and Shona Laing.<br />

“It’s always very satisfying<br />

going on stage with these<br />

women,” Urlich said.<br />

“I have known Annie and<br />

Debbie for 30 years now and we<br />

are still very good friends and<br />

we love singing together.”<br />

In spite of her long absence<br />

from the recording studio,<br />

Urlich does not rule out new<br />

music in the future, especially<br />

now her children are coming<br />

to the end of their high school<br />

years.<br />

However, the music would<br />

have to meet her own high<br />

standards.<br />

“I still love singing and performing,<br />

but I guess with the<br />

recording side of it, I haven’t felt<br />

that I have the energy to make<br />

it as amazing as I would like to<br />

make it,” she said.<br />

“I am never saying never but<br />

it does take a lot of energy. I just<br />

can’t put out anything that I<br />

think is mediocre.”<br />

•Selwyn Sounds will<br />

be held on March 4,<br />

from 11.30am-8.30pm.<br />

Tickets can be purchased<br />

via Ticketek and buyers<br />

will be able to prepurchase<br />

a return bus ride<br />

between pick up points in<br />

Christchurch or Rolleston<br />

and Lincoln Domain.<br />

OUTSIDE THE SPOTLIGHT:<br />

Margaret Urlich says she<br />

doesn’t miss fame after her<br />

18 year absence from the<br />

recording studio but still<br />

enjoys performing on stage. ​<br />

THE CITY’S community board<br />

members are about to go hi-tech.<br />

As part of the city council’s<br />

decision to go paperless to save<br />

money, the 37 community board<br />

members will receive 12-inch<br />

iPad Pros and keyboard to keep<br />

record of meeting times, reports<br />

access agendas, information and<br />

book appointments electroni-<br />

ning<br />

cally.<br />

The iPads’ and keyboard cases<br />

for all the board members cost<br />

$51,171 – a saving of $38,829 on<br />

what the city council spent last<br />

year on production, delivery and<br />

disposal costs of agendas and<br />

other information.<br />

The city council decided to go<br />

paperless in the hopes of saving<br />

ng<br />

money, city councillors started<br />

the trend late last year when they<br />

were given electronic devices.<br />

The Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

was set to be the first community<br />

board to follow suit at its<br />

meeting on Monday, but the<br />

devices weren’t ready.<br />

ites<br />

City council governance<br />

process lead, Matt Boult, said<br />

the community boards will start<br />

going paperless in March.<br />

Councillor Yani Johanson<br />

(right) said it’s a much<br />

more efficient way to run<br />

the meetings and spend<br />

less money printing and<br />

sending the agendas to<br />

community board members.<br />

The city council is offering full<br />

training and ongoing support<br />

to the board members to learn<br />

how to use the iPads and how<br />

to access information and<br />

meetings.<br />

However, Cr Johanson<br />

said the city council<br />

needs to be mindful<br />

of community groups<br />

and the pubic who do<br />

not have access to the<br />

agendas and information<br />

online.<br />

Mr Boult said paper copies of<br />

agendas will still be produced for<br />

members of the public attending<br />

meetings who request one and<br />

heritage grant<br />

Taipari played his club league<br />

for the Haswell Hornets and has<br />

represented the South Island<br />

Scorpions at under-15 and<br />

under-17 level.<br />

Scorpions coach Tai Arona<br />

heaped praise on Taipari’s<br />

knowledge of the game.<br />

“He’s very intelligent and<br />

always seemed to be a step ahead<br />

of the play. If we had a game plan<br />

that needed to be executed, he<br />

was the guy to go to,” said Arona.<br />

Taipari comes from a strong<br />

league upbringing. His father,<br />

Joseph Taipari senior, played<br />

at centre for the Hornets in<br />

the 1980s and represented<br />

Canterbury.<br />

The teenager has a bright future<br />

of his own in league and has<br />

also proven a star in other codes.<br />

He’s previously represented<br />

Canterbury and New Zealand in<br />

touch, and has been compared<br />

to Shaun Johnson who was also<br />

a promising player in his teenage<br />

years.<br />

Taipari was also touted for big<br />

things in last year’s first XV rugby<br />

competition with CBHS before<br />

SPORTS<br />

League break<br />

for young talent<br />

a serious knee injury ruined his<br />

season.<br />

He played under-14 and 15<br />

A rugby for the school before<br />

concentrating on league for a<br />

season. He then had a crack at<br />

the first XV in 2016 and made a<br />

huge impression on CBHS first<br />

XV coach Mike Drury before the<br />

season-ending injury late in the<br />

preseason.<br />

“He’s and incredible ball player,<br />

he’s got a very complete game<br />

and is a great stepper. He’s got<br />

great pace and the skills to put his<br />

outsides away,” said Drury.<br />

Taipari isn’t the only<br />

promising league player to turn<br />

out for the school’s first XV.<br />

Hornby Panthers second rower<br />

Jordan Riki made a handful of<br />

Sutherland returns from US<br />

for Junior All Whites trial<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

FORMER Burnside High<br />

student Joash Sutherland<br />

returned home from the<br />

United States last month to<br />

push his case for a spot in the<br />

All Whites under-20 World<br />

Cup squad.<br />

Sutherland, 19, played for<br />

both Burnside and FC Twenty<br />

before leaving for Xavier University<br />

in Cincinnati, Ohio, on<br />

a scholarship midway through<br />

2015.<br />

The midfielder was home<br />

over the Christmas period to<br />

attend a New Zealand under-20<br />

camp in Auckland.<br />

He was the only Christchurch<br />

player at January’s fourday<br />

Junior All Whites camp.<br />

He has his eyes set on this<br />

year’s FIFA under-20 World<br />

Cup in South Korea, which will<br />

take place between May 20 and<br />

June 11.<br />

“It was a really good experience<br />

for me and great to see<br />

a lot of the lads there that I<br />

haven’t seen in a while. All in<br />

all, I think I played well and<br />

worked hard. Obviously there<br />

are a great group of boys there<br />

so it’s going to be a competitive<br />

selection to pick from,” said<br />

Sutherland.<br />

“I’m trying to stay reasonably<br />

calm about the whole process.<br />

Obviously to wear the fern<br />

is something I’ve dreamed<br />

for since I was little and has<br />

definitely been one of my many<br />

goals. I definitely think I’m capable<br />

and at the standard to be<br />

a part of the group, but it’s just<br />

a matter of what the coaches<br />

are looking for at the end of the<br />

day.”<br />

He has now returned to<br />

Xavier University ahead of its<br />

spring season, which begins in<br />

March. After nearly two years<br />

at college, Sutherland is becoming<br />

acclimatised to the student<br />

athlete environment.<br />

“I’ve really enjoyed being<br />

over here, meeting people and<br />

studying. Being able to play<br />

football every day at a good<br />

level is something I am really<br />

grateful for. Being a student<br />

athlete is definitely challenging.<br />

From having class in the morning<br />

to going straight to training<br />

for three hours and then to<br />

have one or two more classes in<br />

the afternoon is really full on,”<br />

said Sutherland.<br />

Life during the season is even<br />

busier with the team often travelling<br />

home from away games<br />

on sleeping busses which travel<br />

through the night.<br />

Sutherland will find out<br />

closer to May if he has made<br />

the Junior All Whites World<br />

Cup squad.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

Help your child grow in confidence<br />

Do your children lack self-confidence, or<br />

perhaps have so much energy that they need an<br />

outlet for it? Development through drama is the<br />

ideal approach to teach confidence and channel<br />

youthful energy while building self-esteem.<br />

international programme helps students aged 5 to<br />

17 fulfil their potential by acting confidently and<br />

speaking clearly. Our unique, self-development<br />

programme helps achieve invaluable life skills.<br />

The confident, articulate child makes friends<br />

easily, accepts challenges and new directions.<br />

Confident children become well-rounded adults.<br />

Our fully qualified teachers are trained in<br />

the Helen O’Grady Drama system, they ensure<br />

each child is encouraged and valued in a warm,<br />

positive learning environment. Lessons stimulate<br />

and motivate students without the exam or<br />

peer group pressure. Weekly class activities<br />

include speech training, creative movement and<br />

improvisation. Our Youth Theatre programme<br />

encourages the development of leadership and<br />

organisational skills. We also offer Trinity College<br />

London examinations as an option for those who<br />

wish to pursue an international qualification.<br />

CHALLENGE: Canterbury University staff Diana Hinterleitner, Barbara<br />

Albertson and Lawrence Teo have decided to get involved in the Aotearoa<br />

Bike Challenge.<br />

Organisations take up<br />

cycle challenge<br />

CHRISTCHURCH organisations are<br />

taking on the rest of the country in a cycle<br />

challenge.<br />

The Aotearoa Bike Challenge has been<br />

set up for the month to encourage organisations<br />

to get staff on their cycles for 10<br />

minutes a day.<br />

Organisations sign up and earn points<br />

for riding and recruiting new members.<br />

Opus International Consultants’<br />

Christchurch branch is currently in<br />

first place in the 200-499 staff company<br />

category, while three other local<br />

businesses sit in the top five in the 50-199<br />

staff category.<br />

Ara Institute of Canterbury is second<br />

in the more than 500 staff category, with<br />

the city council sixth and Environment<br />

Canterbury eighth.<br />

City council major cycle route<br />

programme manager Clarrie Pearce<br />

said the challenge was an excellent way<br />

for residents to try out cycling at a time<br />

when the city was focused on building a<br />

cycleway network.<br />

“The council has joined this challenge<br />

and we’re encouraging other work places<br />

to get on board. We are so fortunate to<br />

live in a predominantly flat city that is<br />

just ideal for cycling, particularly as a<br />

commute to work,” Mr Pearce said.<br />

The challenge is focused on<br />

participation, not distance clocked.<br />

Canterbury University enrolment and<br />

fees adviser Diana Hinterleitner was the<br />

first university staff member to take up<br />

the challenge. She was hoping its 1200<br />

other staff would get on board too.<br />

“I got involved because I like the idea of<br />

an incentive to ride my bike to work,” Ms<br />

Hinterleitner said.<br />

The challenge runs until <strong>February</strong> 28.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

The power of<br />

chlorophyll<br />

Chlorophyll is a truly amazing substance<br />

with powerful health benefits. It is the green<br />

pigment found in plants they use to make<br />

energy through photosynthesis. It is a rich<br />

source of natural minerals, vitamins, amino<br />

acids and antioxidants, which are essential<br />

in balancing and maintaining the alkalinity<br />

of the body. Ideally we want our body to<br />

be slightly alkaline as an acidic body is<br />

prone to unhealthy organisms that can<br />

damage organs, the immune system and<br />

may lead to allergies, asthma, congestion,<br />

fatigue, frequent colds, headaches,<br />

inflammation, joint and muscle pain, skin<br />

problems, ulcers, weight gain and over<br />

the long term arthritis, cancer, diabetes,<br />

fibromyalgia, heart disease, multiple<br />

sclerosis, osteoporosis and stroke. The<br />

biggest contributor to acidity in the body is<br />

our modern diet. Excess acidity is caused<br />

by eating processed foods, too much animal<br />

protein, dairy products and processed<br />

grains such as corn and wheat. Normally<br />

the kidneys maintain our acid/alkaline<br />

balance by adjusting the electrolyte levels<br />

in the body. The electrolytes are calcium,<br />

magnesium, potassium and sodium. The<br />

best source of these electrolytes is raw<br />

fruits and vegetables as cooking depletes<br />

alkalising minerals. Green drinks made<br />

with fresh vegetables or powders are very<br />

alkalising as they contain chlorophyll.<br />

Chlorophyll is structurally similar to our<br />

Take a trip with<br />

Third Aged Tours<br />

Taking people aged over 50 on trips<br />

around New Zealand and the world for<br />

nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours<br />

a brag book that Director Brenda Corby-<br />

Yarrall says “businesses would give their<br />

eye teeth for.”<br />

Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people<br />

means I can operate the tour in a relaxed,<br />

companionable manner. We have an<br />

absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about<br />

having fun.<br />

Most of my trips are run annually<br />

because they’re so popular, but I’m always<br />

adding new destinations - like “Sicily, South<br />

Italy & Vatican” + “Cuba”,<br />

as people ask for them.<br />

Brenda checks out all<br />

accommodation before<br />

booking it, and ensures<br />

the party spends at least a<br />

few nights at each place.<br />

That way you don’t feel<br />

like you’re living out of a<br />

suitcase.<br />

Many clients now have<br />

made over 20 tours with<br />

us, one has completed a<br />

whopping 27 tours.<br />

My clients tell me they<br />

keep coming back because<br />

of the size of the groups and our relaxed<br />

manner. My motto is ‘There are no<br />

strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’<br />

We gather together for breakfast at<br />

8.30am which sets us up for the day and<br />

everybody thinks is a very civilised hour.<br />

I organise incredible trips at incredible<br />

prices. Look around, you can’t find better<br />

for all we include.<br />

Strengthen your spine, avoid<br />

back pain<br />

Whether it’s from gardening, lifting<br />

something heavy, or twisting awkwardly,<br />

most of us will experience low back pain<br />

during our lifetime and it can certainly<br />

slow us down.<br />

An exciting and effective way of<br />

resolving and preventing low back or neck<br />

pain is Dynamic Spines, a programme run<br />

by Muscle People in Christchurch City<br />

and Bishopdale. As physiotherapist and<br />

director of Muscle People, Laurie Moore,<br />

explains: “Spinal strength and stability is<br />

the focus of the programme, concentrating<br />

on the deep core muscles in the trunk.”<br />

The programme is designed to move<br />

you beyond pain to a place where you feel<br />

confident about taking part in dynamic<br />

activities, and significantly reduce<br />

recurrence of back pain, she says.<br />

Led by physiotherapists, the weekly<br />

exercise programme is conducted for<br />

small groups, with core stability and<br />

spinal muscle control being addressed.<br />

Participants experience clear progression<br />

each week, which will cross over to their<br />

everyday life.<br />

“More than 80 per cent of New Zealanders<br />

suffer from a significant episode of low<br />

back pain during their life,” Laurie says.<br />

“Of these, 84 per cent are likely to have<br />

a recurrence of back pain within a year.<br />

Research shows that those that undergo a<br />

specific spinal strengthening programme<br />

are almost three times better off.”<br />

The benefits of completing the Dynamic<br />

Spines programme:<br />

• Stabilise your spine<br />

• Increase your core strength<br />

• Improve your confidence<br />

• Correct causative factors that may<br />

relate to ongoing pain and recurrent<br />

episodes of low back pain<br />

• Specific training for your back<br />

A Muscle People client who has completed<br />

the Dynamic Spines programmes, Julie,<br />

says: “The course has been life-changing.<br />

I suffered from severe neck pain and was<br />

fearful of any movement. This programme<br />

has strengthened up my neck muscles,<br />

making me feel confident and like a new<br />

woman.”<br />

Another participant, Tor, says: After<br />

partaking in the Dynamic Spines group<br />

exercise programme I definitely feel<br />

stronger all over – thigh muscles, arms,<br />

general increased stamina. This has helped<br />

with my gardening work, with less lower<br />

back niggles.”<br />

Before you join the Dynamic Spines<br />

programme, a physiotherapist will assess<br />

your individual needs. The programme is<br />

then split into two levels. Laurie explains:<br />

After<br />

Before<br />

“The first level is all about learning to locate and then strengthen the appropriate muscles.<br />

The physiotherapists will help each person to achieve this based on their individual<br />

diagnosis and ability.<br />

“The second level focuses on turning those learned skills into habitual movements and<br />

improving strength. Home exercises are also an integral part of the programme.<br />

The Dynamic Spines programme is designed for men and women of all ages and fitness<br />

levels, who have back or neck pain, or with core or postural weakness.<br />

COMPUTING FOR FREE<br />

Free qualification builds digital confidence<br />

The New Zealand Certificate in Computing Level 3<br />

(Intermediate User) has been developed to equip<br />

students with the digital skills expected in today’s<br />

workforce.<br />

Ara Computing for Free Academic Team Leader Des<br />

Hoogervorst says that learning how to use digital<br />

technology and operate online is now a necessity.<br />

“Technology, the workforce and education are<br />

evolving. Through this new programme, we work<br />

with students to build their confidence with<br />

technology step-by-step. Then we show them how<br />

they can use it to discover information and come up<br />

with solutions.”<br />

The certificate introduces students to the types of<br />

tools commonly used in a business environment.<br />

Students can then apply this knowledge to the<br />

specific tools used in their workplace and adapt to<br />

new ones as technology advances.<br />

One of the advantages about studying through<br />

Computing for Free is the community that students<br />

become part of. The Level 3 certificate includes an<br />

online forum where students can share their insights<br />

as they progress through the course.<br />

“This experience will enable students to have<br />

confident conversations in a digital work<br />

environment. By interacting with people from<br />

different industries and backgrounds, students will<br />

also learn more about the digital business world.”<br />

The qualification covers fundamental digital skills,<br />

such as the use of different mobile devices and how<br />

to connect these to WiFi and Bluetooth.<br />

Students will explore the privacy and security<br />

implications of different types of filing systems and<br />

file sharing software, including cloud-based storage.<br />

Experiencing tools such as Microsoft Office, online<br />

presentations, basic HTML editing suites and social<br />

media will give students a wide understanding of<br />

the digital activities carried out in most businesses.<br />

The programme has no fees, is self-paced and<br />

flexible. Students can start at any time of the year<br />

and can choose to study from home or at one of the<br />

Ara Computing for Free locations in Christchurch or<br />

Timaru. Enrolments are open now.<br />

Computing for Free focuses on digital skills<br />

Ara Institute of Canterbury is preparing students<br />

to operate in the digital workplace through<br />

Computing for Free. New qualifications are being<br />

introduced this year, with a focus on digital literacy.<br />

Computing for Free Manager Peter Nock says that<br />

the new qualifications reflect today’s digital business<br />

environment. They are delivered primarily online and<br />

encourage digital collaboration and problem solving.<br />

The New Zealand Certificate in Computing Level 3<br />

(Intermediate User) is open for enrolment now and<br />

equips students with the knowledge to use a broad<br />

range of technology to their advantage.<br />

“Rather than just teaching students to use specific<br />

software well, this qualification encourages them to<br />

become independent thinkers. They will learn to use<br />

technology to problem solve and come up with their<br />

own solutions, instead of relying on a textbook or<br />

their tutor.”<br />

While some familiarity with computing is needed<br />

to get started, beginners can complete some of<br />

Computing for Free’s non-assessed courses as<br />

a stepping-stone to build their basic skills and<br />

confidence first.<br />

“It doesn’t matter what level of knowledge you have,<br />

just come in and talk to us and we can come up with<br />

a pathway to suit you. We’re here to support you to<br />

fill in the gaps.”<br />

With 90% of the course content delivered online,<br />

the Level 3 qualification is highly flexible. Students<br />

can fit study in around their work and family<br />

commitments, and progress at their own pace.<br />

They can choose to study from home, the office,<br />

or at one of our Computing for Free locations in<br />

Christchurch or Timaru.<br />

A Level 4 qualification will also be introduced in<br />

<strong>2017</strong> for people who want to further their skills.<br />

The New Zealand Certificate in Computing Level 4<br />

(Advanced User) will give students the expertise<br />

to analyse more complex data and become more<br />

efficient at doing business using technology.<br />

COMPUTING FOR FREE<br />

5 essential skills for the digital workplace<br />

The skill-set for anyone who works in an office environment has changed dramatically in the past 10 years and it continues to<br />

change at a rapid pace. Ara Head of Computing Dr Nathan Rountree identifies the essential skills people need to thrive in the<br />

digital workplace.<br />

ESSENTIAL SKILL #1:<br />

ADAPTABILITY TO A RANGE<br />

OF DIGITAL TOOLS<br />

General digital confidence and competence is now<br />

essential for employment and career progression.<br />

Gone are the days of just training to use select<br />

computer programs, instead people need to be able<br />

to find and use the right digital tools to complete a<br />

variety of tasks.<br />

ESSENTIAL SKILL #2:<br />

IT COMMUNICATION<br />

People need to understand enough about IT to<br />

communicate effectively with IT support in their<br />

organisation, or as part of running their own<br />

small business. An increased knowledge of the IT<br />

environment results in better communication, better<br />

functioning of teams and better business results.<br />

ESSENTIAL SKILL #3:<br />

ELECTRONIC FILING CAPABILITY<br />

It is now an expectation that all staff in an<br />

organisation, from business administrators to<br />

managers, can make decisions about file storage.<br />

Everyone needs to have the ability to organise an<br />

electronic filing system that many other people are<br />

going to use, with differing levels of access.<br />

ESSENTIAL SKILL #4:<br />

UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY<br />

FOR BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT<br />

There are now endless digital tools that can help us do<br />

better, faster and more efficient business. It’s important<br />

that people are aware of how new technologies can be<br />

used to benefit them and their organisation.<br />

ESSENTIAL SKILL #5:<br />

KNOWING HOW TO MAKE SENSE<br />

OF DATA<br />

Today almost all organisations are using data<br />

to make better decisions and there is a strong<br />

expectation that everyone in a business can look at,<br />

process and understand data. The most common<br />

way data is presented is in a spreadsheet and these<br />

have to be read by people who understand both<br />

data and spreadsheets.<br />

Computing For Free can help support you in acquiring these skills so you can be more effective in the workplace.<br />
