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 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 />

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 />

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 />
in Papanui,<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 />

looms over<br />
heritage grant<br />

DISCUSSIONS ON whether to<br />
approve a heritage grant for the<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 />

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 />
appearances for the team last year<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 />

speaking clearly. Our unique, self-development<br />
programme helps achieve invaluable life skills.<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 />

organisational skills. We also offer Trinity College<br />
London examinations as an option for those who<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 />
own blood and alkalises the blood.<br />
Chlorophyll is available in concentrated<br />
liquid form and is an ideal way to help<br />
alkalise and mineralise the body. Generally<br />
5-15ml is taken straight or diluted in<br />
water or juice. Chlorophyll is a powerful<br />
cleansing and detoxifying agent for the<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 />
