Burnside High’s leaky building repairs 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

DESIGN FLAWS are believed 

to be responsible for leaks in the 

six-year-old $4 million Burnside 

High School art and technology 

block. 

Similar leaks have also 

been found in the school 

administration buildings. 

They will be repaired as part 

of a $24 million repair and 

redevelopment work plan at the 

school, which is set to start this 

year. 

The cost of fixing the leaks is 

not yet known, but is expected 

to be assessed in the next few 

weeks. 

The building has been leaking 

for more than two years, but 

work to fix it was put on hold 

while the Ministry of Education 

assessed other earthquake 

repairs and redevelopment work 

at the school. 

Burnside principal Phil 

Holstein said the repair was 

initially not expected to be done 

until 2022. 

It was brought forward to this 

year, as the school was worried 

damage would be done to the 

building if the leaks were not 

repaired, he said. 

He said the architectural 

design of the buildings was 

believed to be responsible for the 

leaks. 

“Across the country, a lot of 

school designs with this style 

of architecture, particularly flat 

roof buildings, a lot of them have 

weather tightness issues,” he 

said. 

Alongside the repair work, 

he said the school was set to be 

refurbished and modernised. 

“We want to provide the best 

learning environment we can 

for our students here, and that’s 

ultimately what we’re after,” he 

said. 

Bringing the work forward 

meant the school could start the 

master-planning process with 

the Ministry of Education soon, 

he said.

Mother Nature 

rains down on 

school netball 

tournament 

While most of the city was sheltering away from 

the terrible weather conditions last week, hardy 

students were out in the elements competing 

in the South Island secondary schools junior 

netball tournament. Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

and St Margaret’s College year 10 sides battled 

it out at the Christchurch Netball Centre in 

Hagley Park until it got too bad and the game 

had to be called off. 

The tournament was celebrating its 20th 

anniversary, but Mother Nature had other ideas. 

The competition, held from July 10-12, saw year 

9 and 10 teams from around the South Island 

compete. The grand finals were able to be 

played after St Margaret’s came to the rescue 

and offered their gym for the tournament.

THERE’S ONE big leaky problem 

on page 1 today – Burnside High 

School. 

We reveal design flaws are 

believed to be responsible for leaks 

in the six-year-old $4 million art 

and technology block. 

Similar leaks have also been 

found in the school administration 

buildings. 

The cost of fixing the leaks will 

be known in the next couple of 

weeks. 

The building has been leaking 

for more than two years, but work 

to fix it was put on hold while 

earthquake repairs were assessed. 

The flat roof design appears to 

be the cause of the damage. 

No surprises there. 

Hats off, or hats on to the netballers

brutal conditions last week at the

No library bus for Merivale 

• By Julia Evans 

THE MERIVALE Precinct 

Society is worried about the 

lack of facilities for its ageing 

population. 

So the residents’ group came 

up with a solution – to put the 

mobile library bus stop there 

again. 

Deputy chairwoman 

Denise Leighs approached the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board, which 

raised the issue with the city 

council. 

However, the 

city council said 

Merivale does not 

meet the criteria 

to get the mobile 

library bus back 

Carolyn 

Robertson 

anytime soon. 

“The mobile 

library idea was 

discussed at (the 

Merivale Precinct Society’s) 

May meeting as an ongoing 

conversation about the lack 

of facilities for the ageing 

population,” Mrs Leighs said. 

She said the library bus used 

to stop in Merivale before the 

earthquakes outside the JDV 

cafe entrance on Aikmans Rd. 

But city council libraries and 

information manager Caroline 

Robertson said the city council 

would not be considering a stop 

in Merivale. 

“Previously the mobile library 

did stop at Merivale but, at 

the time, the area did not have 

access to the same number of 

library facilities it does now,” Ms 

Robertson said. 

In assessing the need for a 

mobile stop, city council staff 

have to consider a number of 

factors. 

“The mobile library operates 

a service that targets specific 

sectors of the community. This 

includes travelling to those 

parts of the city that do not have 

adequate library facilities and 

also sectors of the community 

that are socially isolated or 

vulnerable,” Ms Robertson said. 

She said the city council is 

also mindful of the distance to 

the nearest library. Merivale 

Mall is 2.9km from the Papanui 

Library, 2.4km from the 

Peterborough Library and 3km 

from the Fendalton Library. 

“In light of these aspects 

and due to the need to service 

other areas of the community 

Elmwood 

BUS: The 

mobile 

library used 

to stop on 

Aikmans Rd 

but the city 

council won’t 

consider 

bringing it 

back. 

. . . at this time, we will not 

be considering offering a stop 

in the Merivale area,” Ms 

Robertson said. 

Mrs Leighs will take the 

response back to the Merivale 

Precinct Society. The mobile 

library route has 23 stops, 

including various retirement 

villages around the city.

there enough facilities for 

the ageing population in

In Brief 

CLUB’S PARKING TROUBLE 

Parking is proving difficult 

at Tulett Park in Casebrook 

for members of the Nomads 

football club. The club requested 

additional parking from the 

city council. City council staff 

have advised that they will look 

into marking individual parks 

on Claridges Rd once other 

construction work in the area has 

been finished. 

TRUCK HAZARD SOLVED 

Delivery trucks which park at the 

intersection of Trafford St and 

Harewood Rd while servicing the 

Harewood Dairy and Superette 

could be a major factor in the 

visibility problem for motorists 

on the corner. The Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board was approached by a 

resident who expressed concern 

for the safety of both the drivers 

and pedestrians. The trucks have 

now been asked to park further 

back from the corner. 

EDGEWARE STORY BOARDS 

The boards outside Edgeware 

Rd’s Supervalue supermarket, 

which tell the history of 

Edgeware, have been put into 

storage while the supermarket 

is expanded. Once the work is 

completed, the boards will be 

returned to the street-front.

Volunteers honoured for service 

AWARD: Former Belfast School 

principal Peter Simpson was honoured 

for his service. 

VOLUNTEERS were 

honoured for their 

contributions to the 

community at the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

Community Service awards. 

Vicki Campbell 

Ms Campbell has positively 

influenced the lives of many 

young people and adults 

through mentoring and 

running fitness sessions. She 

has also coached rugby and 

rugby league in Papanui for 

the past eight years, supported 

the Northcote Friday after 

school programme and helped 

with the Pasifika Cultural 

Festival. 

Ms Campbell has worked 

with youth at Te Ora Hou 

for the past 13 years and her 

generosity and willingness 

to go above the beyond for 

people makes her a valuable 

role model especially to young 

Maori and Pasifika women. 

Nicholas Christensen 

Mr Christensen has been 

involved with the city council 

graffiti programme since 

2011. The role benefits the 

community and those driving 

through it by having any graffiti 

removed in a timely manner. 

Sheila Denley 

Ms Denley has been 

supporting the Papanui 

Baptist Freedom Trust’s 

mainly music project for over 

five years. 

She began by helping in the 

kitchen and continues to offer 

her help there as well as with 

the supervision and guidance 

of multiple children during 

the music session. 

Julian Dent 

Mr Dent has donated his 

time and energy for the past 10 

years in keeping the grounds 

of the iconic St Paul’s Anglican 

Church in an immaculate 

condition. 

By keeping the grounds so 

beautiful, Mr Dent has created 

a space that parishioners, 

visitors, tourists, pedestrians 

and commuters can enjoy. He 

also conducts guided tours 

during Heritage Week. 

Norma Edwards 

Ms Edwards has been 



mainly music project for more 

than ten years. 

She went along one day 

to help in the kitchen and 

has been back weekly ever 

since. She not only makes 

great drinks, she often makes 

special treats and does all the 

shopping to keep families 

well fed and hydrated. She 

is known to everyone as 

Grandma. 

Debbie Ewings 

Ms Ewings has been 



mainly music project for 

nearly eight years. 

She is an enthusiastic 

member of the team and 

competently operates the 

somewhat temperamental 

sound and vision equipment 

to ensure a full programme is 

available. 

Bill and Debbie Frame 

Mr and Mrs Frame have 

been involved with the city 

council graffiti programme 

since 2012. 

Having the graffiti removed 

has also proven to reduce 

further incidents, which 

contributes to keeping the cost 

of graffiti removal down for 

the rate payer. 

Donna Higgs-Herrick 

Ms Higgs Herrick wears 

many hats in her volunteer 

service for the Canterbury 

Down Syndrome Association, 

which she coordinates. She 

also fundraises, organises 

events and supports other

having a child with special 

needs. 

Ms Higgs-Herrick 

established the Listen group 

which facilitates guest 

speakers to visit organisations 

and talk about youth culture. 

She makes herself available 

to talk to parents who have 

children with special needs, 

imparting her experience and 

extensive knowledge not only 

of disabilities but access to the 

health and education systems. 

Joanne Le Gros 

Ms Le Gros has been a 

volunteer for scouting for 20 

years and is happily dedicated 

to the children she serves. 

She does a minimum of 12 

hours a week on planning and 

running scout activities and 

teaching children life skills. 

Fay Malloch 

Ms Malloch has been 



mainly music project for more 

than 10 years. 

She has been a constant help 

in the kitchen as well as with 

the music sessions for many 

years. As well as helping in 

the kitchen, she also looks 

after and encourages young 

children to interact during the 

music session.

to the community 

Sian Nihoniho 

Ms Nihoniho has been a key 

volunteer with the Papanui 

Baptist Freedom Trust’s friendship 

Friday community lunch 

for more than 13 years. She has 

played a variety of roles in that 

time, in particular as part of 

the leadership team working 

with the community. 

Over the years the lunch 

has attracted a large number 

of community members 

who have disabilities, mental 

illnesses, chronic illnesses, are 

elderly, unemployed or 

are from minority ethnic 

groups. 

Yvonne Palmer 

Ms Palmer has been serving 

the public as a Justice of the 

Peace for more than 15 years. 

She has also been an active 

panellist and facilitator for the 

Community Justice Panel since 

its inception five years ago. 

As a former Shirley-Papanui 

Community Board chairwoman 

and member, she has 

always been very active beyond 

the call of duty and still has an 

extensive network of contacts. 

Ms Palmer is also a marriage 

and funeral celebrant, often 

performing these roles voluntarily. 

CULTURE: The Northcote kapa haka group performed at 

the event. 

Peter Simpson 

Mr Simpson has been the 

principal at Belfast School for 

23 years and has served the 

Belfast Community Network 

since 2006. During that time 

he has volunteered his own 

time to support community 

events and meetings. 

The children, staff, local 

families and the community 

have all benefitted from the 

pivotal role Mr Simpson has 

undertaken in the Belfast community. 

Tony Simpson 

Mr Simpson has been 

involved with the city council 

graffiti programme since it was 

piloted. 

The overwhelming support 

and commitment from 

volunteers like Mr Simpson 

have contributed to the success 

of this programme and the 

reduction of graffiti. 

Knit and Knatter 

The group started in 2007 

with five members. The group 

now has more than 15 members 

who meet once a fortnight 

for two hours at the Shirley 

Community Trust premises. 

But each of them knit for approximately 

two or three hours 

each day. 

The group has knitted and 

crocheted a large variety of 

items such as blankets, beanies 

and baby items. Last year the 

group produced 2000 knitted 

items and so far this year it has 

knitted 636. 

The knitting is passed onto 

a variety of organisations, 

hospitals, pre-school facilities 

and schools. 

The knitters benefit by being 

able to join together and form 

friendships over an activity 

they enjoy while producing a 

large range of useful items for 

donation to organisation and 

agencies. 

Rotary Club of Belfast 

Kaiapoi 

The rotary club was established 

in 1969 and has been 

providing services to the community 

ever since. 

It works tirelessly to fundraise 

for community projects 

in Belfast, Redwood and 

Kaiapoi. This service group has 

a major fundraiser each year 

where members grow and sell 

over $50,000 of potatoes. The 

funds raised are donated back 

to the local community. 

Rotary members have ensured 

all Belfast junior touch 

module teams have sponsored 

shirts as well as outfitting the 

Belfast Community Network 

with new office furniture, 

providing youth leadership 

programmes and support to 

local schools with various 

requirements from computers 

to funds for children who are 

unable to pay for activities.

GOOD LUCK: Redwood man Patrick Bennett showed Grant 

Dalton how happy he is to have the cup back in New Zealand. 

Sealed with a kiss 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

PATRICK BENNETT had 

waited a long time to see the 

America’s Cup. 

And during Emirates Team 

New Zealand’s victory parade on 

Wednesday, the Redwood man 

got to give it a kiss. 

Mr Bennett said he did not 

know what possessed him to do 

it. “It’s pretty unreal to see it,” he 

said. 

It was great to see the team 

overcome its loss at the hands of 

Oracle during the campaign in 

San Francisco in 2013, he said. 

Mr Bennett was one of about 

6000 who braved the freezing 

conditions to celebrate the 

team’s 7-1 victory in Bermuda. 

In spite of the conditions, Mr 

Bennett said the cup was actually 

“quite warm”. 

“I’ve been waiting a long time 

to see that.” 

Pipe band leads parade, gets 

up close with America’s Cup 


SNOW FLURRIES, sleet, rain 

and near freezing temperatures 

were not enough to stop the St 

Andrew’s College pipe band 

leading the America’s Cup 

parade. 

“Everybody playing warmed 

to the idea, if you know what 

I mean,” pipe leader Graeme 

Bryce said. 

Mr Bryce said last week’s 

parade was a “golden 

opportunity” for the band. 

“Parades like that don’t 

happen very often . . . everyone 

was pretty excited,” he said. 

It was a last minute phone 

call from tourism organisation 

ChristchurchNZ that brought 

the band together. 

“It was a little difficult because 

of the school holidays but a lot 

of kids replied quickly and 

were all keen to play,” Mr Bryce 

said. 

There were 12 pipers and 10 

drummers making up the band, 

with ages ranging from 11 to 17. 

Mr Bryce said the band didn’t 

miss the opportunity to touch 

the America’s Cup and get their 

photo taken with it just before 

the crew left.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

FLAME FILES 

Seal pup gets short shrift 

• By Mark Thomas – specialist 

fire investigator 

IT WAS going to be the mother 

of all storms apparently. 

It turns out it wasn’t. 

At least not in the city. 

But it was bitterly cold, some 

snow fell and on the hills it 

managed to settle. 

I’m sure the weather did have 

some effect, however, with 16 

motor accidents attended by our 

crews in the week. 

We did have the odd other 

call that could have been attributed 

to the weather. 

Although the incident attended 

by Harewood and Addington 

crews in Hornby last Friday had 

its origin in ignorance rather 

than iciness. 

A fire was lit in the fireplace 

by a shivering occupant. 

It’s just that this was a house 

damaged back in the earthquakes 

and the chimney had 

been removed. The result was 

quite fortunate really, with 

smoke filling the ceiling and 

then the house itself. Fortunate 

because that smoke was all that 

happened. 

Could easily have resulted in 

the loss of the home. We go to 

any number of false alarms at 

buildings with smoke detectors. 

Some are from accidental 

causes, where smoke from

cooking or dust from workmen 

sanding, set the alarms off. 

Last Thursday’s call to the 

Riccarton Clinic was a bit different. 

A plaster cast was being 

cut off a patient. 

Seems the plaster dust was 

enough to activate the alarm. 

Result was a full evacuation. 

Finally, the retrieval of a seal 

pup from Fitzgerald Ave and its 

return to the Avon was accomplished 

by the city’s red watch 

fire crew on Wednesday.

Ministry of Education head 

of the education infrastructure

Once the design work was 

done on the buildings, the cost 

of fixing the leaking issues could 

be assessed, she said. 

“A designer will be appointed 

in the next few weeks to 

determine specifically what 

is required to fix the weathertightness

She said the leaks were the 

result of “historic design and 

construction work”, but who 

was liable was complicated. 

“Proving liability for weathertightness 

issues is not straight 

forward in Christchurch due to 

the wide ranging impacts of the 

earthquakes,” she said. 

Readers write about 

whether free entry is 

enough to get them cycling 

into the Jellie Park Sport 

and Recreation Centre 

Connie Kruse Christensen 

– Free entry would make me cycle 

to the swimming pools. But it 

needs more promoting to schools, 

workplaces and the greater community 

for people to know it 

exists. 

Nic Davies – Warm weather. 

Sadly, I’m not much of a biker, 

but have to say, love these new 

cycleways that are being made. 

If I was more into biking, I’d feel 

damn safer using them with all 

the crazy car drivers about. 

Lynn Mortlock – The first 

trial was in the middle of summer 

and 117 visits were recorded, 

which according to the organiser 

was a success. Welcome to 

Christchurch, which caters for the 

minority and the majority suffer. 

Warren Kemp – For a start, 

you need a push-bike. Oh, and 

warmer weather. Then I will need 

motivation (extremely low when 

it comes to push-bikes) and better 

roads. What about self-propelled 

push-bikes? And we could put a 

cage around them for safety. 

Wait a minute that sounds like 

a car. Yes – a car would work for 

me. 

Jason Gemmill – Give it up! 

Stop trying to force people out of 

cars and on to bikes. If we wanted 

to, we would. But clearly the vast 

majority of us are not interested 

in cycling. 

Anna Barclay – Nothing. 

Don’t waste the money, there’s 

still people using chemical toilets 

in New Brighton. 

Anna Henderson – Probably 

will anyway but cycle lanes 

the whole way would help. Feels 

much safer. 

Dennis Rogers – It makes 

sense to bike as you’re saving at 

least $1000-plus a year leaving 

your car at home. It’s extra money 

in your pocket. 

Danielle Aitken – Advertise 

it more. I saw nothing about the 

last trial at all. 

Jillian Nuth – I’d love to but 

the traffic is terrifying.

WINNERS: St Andrew’s year 9 

netball team captain Tapanisa 

Havea holding the trophy her

St Andrew’s win junior tournament 

• By Andrew King 

RAIN, HAIL and sleet could 

not stop the St Andrew’s 

College year 9 netball team 

from winning their grade in 

the South Island secondary 

schools junior netball 

tournament on Wednesday. 

St Andrew’s beat Dunedin’s 

St Hilda’s Collegiate 33-12 in 

the final. 

However, due to the appalling 

weather conditions, the 

final was transferred from the

to the St Margaret’s College 

gym. 

Unfortunately, they were 

unable to play most of the 

other final games due to snow 

falling. 

St Andrew’s breezed past 

Kaiapoi High in the opening 

round 54-12 before beating 

St Kevin’s College 39-13 and 

Marlborough Girls’ High 

31-18. 

They backed those results up 

by beating Rolleston College 

39-13, St Margaret’s 40-19 and 

Mt Aspiring College 34-14. 

The semi-final against Villa 

Maria College was tighter 

with St Andrew’s getting past 

them 30-24. 

Tournament director Penny 

Martin said it was a great 

event which was, unfortunately, 

let down by the weather. 

“After two full days of playing 

their little hearts out, it 

was a shame to cancel those 

last games,” she said.

St Margaret’s were fifth equal. 

Christchurch Girls’ High 

came third equal with Southland 

Girls’ High in the year 10 

grade, while St Andrew’s was 

fifth equal with St Hilda’s. 

The tournament, now in its

glory over the three-day event, 

which is held every year at 

the Christchurch Netball 

Centre. 

New treatment for fungal nails 

Feet First, the long-established 

podiatry clinic in Upper Riccarton, now 

has a much more efficient and effective 

means of dealing with the problem of 

fungal nails, thanks to a new machine 

they recently obtained from Britain, 

where it was designed and trialled. 

Clearanail is a procedure where the 

Podiatrists use a machine to make 

tiny holes in the nail without affecting 

the nail bed – a completely pain-free 

procedure that then allows the topical 

application of antifungal 

solution to directly reach the 

problem area. 

Fungal nails may cause 

the toenail to thicken, which 

consequently can make shoes 

feel uncomfortable. Anyone 

who believes they have a fungal 

infection of the nails is invited 

to make an appointment for a 

consultation with Feet First so one of the 

qualified Podiatrists can assess if that is 

the case, and if so, will recommend the 

Clearanail procedure. This involves the 

initial treatment, and three follow-up 

appointments at monthly intervals to 

check progress. 

“Fungal nail infections won’t disappear 

immediately,” clinic director Charlotte 

Russell says, “so people need to commit 

to the process, which can take up to four 

months as the nail grows.” 

effective treatment, Feet First has 

another unique feature – the Shoe 

Room. Here, clients can browse 

through a wide selection of ‘fashionable, 

functional footwear’ for men and 

women that not only provides support 

and comfort, but also looks modern and 

attractive. 

The four registered and experienced 

Feet First Podiatrists offer the full range 

of podiatry services for all ages and all 

conditions, with customised treatment 

provided for every client. They also 

offer a range of quality foot treatment 

products, including the German brand 

Gehwol. 

The clinic at 37 Main South Road is 

open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 

5pm, with late nights on Monday and 

Thursday to 7pm by appointment. The 

Shoe Room is open Monday to Friday 

9am-4pm. There is on-site parking 

available. 

Feet First also runs several satellite 

clinics. These are at the Marshland 

Family Health Centre, Marshland 

Road on Mondays, the Redcliffs 

Clinic, Augusta Street, on Wednesday 

afternoon and Friday morning, the 

Waltham Medical Centre, Waltham 

Road on Wednesday afternoon, and at 

Darfield Pharmacy on Friday. 

NEW TECHNOLOGY TO TREAT FUNGAL NAILS 

The Clearanail machine and 

related products. 

Clinic director Charlotte Russell displays 

one of the modern boot styles available 

in the Shoe Room. 

She says now is an ideal time to start 

fungal nail treatment with Clearanail, 

so nails will be looking healthy again 

when the warm, sandal-wearing 

weather arrives. Feet First has an 

introductory offer on Clearanail until 

the end of July.

EAGER: More than 50 people and their bicycles braved the cold to celebrate the 

opening of the Papanui Parallel. 

Community celebrates cycleway 


THE ST Albans 

community thinks 

the cycleway in its 

neighbourhood is 

something to celebrate. 

So more than 50 residents 

took their children, 

dogs and bicycles along 

to the Papanui Parallel to 

mark its opening. 

Organiser Lynne O’Keefe 

said they’d tried to arrange 

the event at the same time 

as the official opening by 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel and 

Minister of Transport 

Simon Bridges. 

But she said it was a 

“moving target” due to the 

minister’s busy schedule so 

they locked in their own 

date. 

Residents met at the Rutland 

Reserve for a barbecue 

lunch provided by Fulton 

Hogan before exploring the 

new cycleway. 

Mrs O’Keefe said it was 

great to see people out using 

the new route. 

“It just encouraged 

people out onto it and it felt 

like we moved away from 

the controversy surrounding 

the cycleways,” she said. 

The event was supported 

by local businesses, who 

Mrs O’Keefe said were the 

most negatively impacted 

by the cycleways. 

“It was great to see them 

getting behind it.”

GREAT food 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... 

Your fresh food people 

CHICKEN BREAST WITH 

MUSHROOM STUFFING 

AND MARSALA GLAZE 

Ingredients 

1 Garlic clove 

1 Shallot, or small onion, diced 

15g Butter 

50g White Button mushrooms 

2 slices Bread, stale and diced 

1 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped 

1 Lemon, zest 

2 Chicken breasts 

1 Tbsp Oil 

3 Tbsp Marsala, or sherry 

2 Tbsp Cream 

Directions 

Stuffing 

In a small frying pan, fry the 

garlic and shallot in the butter 

until translucent. Add the mushrooms 

and fry for 2-3min until 

cooked. Add the breadcrumbs, 

cooking until the butter has 

been absorbed. 

Take off the heat, add the parsley 

and lemon zest and season 

with salt and freshly ground 

black pepper. 

To cook the chicken 

Heat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Stuff the chicken breast by lifting 

the tenderloin up (if there is no 

tenderloin, ignore this). Press 

half of the stuffing on to the 

breast meat. Cover the stuffing 

with the tenderloin. Wrap the 

breast with kitchen string to secure 

the stuffing in place and tie. 

Repeat with second breast. 

Heat a frying pan and add oil. 

Add the breasts skin side down 

and season with salt. When 

browned on one side, turn and 

season again. After 3min, place 

the pan in the hot oven for a further 

10-12min or until cooked. 

Remove from the oven and 

cover with foil to rest for 5min. 

To serve, place the chicken on a 

chopping board and remove the 

string. 

Slice in half and place on a 

warmed plate. Cover with foil 

while you make the sauce. 

Return the pan of chicken 

juices to the hob. Add the 

marsala or sherry and let it 

reduce for 2-3min (this is called 

de-glazing). Add the cream and 

taste for seasoning. Pour the 

sauce over the chicken. You may 

need to pour over through a 

sieve to remove any burnt pan 

leftovers. Season with freshly 

ground black pepper. Serve with 

potatoes and greens.

Hosting 

opportunities! 

Neighbour 

Hello 

Christchurch is entering a new and 

exciting phase and the recent inauguration of 

ChristchurchNZ bringing together four key 

sectors; Tourism, International Education, 

Business Innovation and the new Convention 

Bureau, is a demonstration of the city’s 

commitment to make Christchurch a great 

destination to visit and to study and work 

in! International students are on the rise, and 

Alpha Homestays Limited (AHSL) is building 

on the proud history of Student Links to 

facilitate good matching of international 

students with local New Zealand families 

as they pursue their various study options. 

AHSL provides services to Alpha Educational 

Institute (AEI), in Sheffield Crescent (where 

Margaret Bray and Jude Cochrane look after 

our office); the National Trade Academy 

(NTA), a land-based training centre near 

Orana Park; the International Aviation 

Academy of New Zealand (IAANZ), in 

Pound Road, which trains pilots, and the Air 

New Zealand Aviation Institute (AirNZAI), 

in Orchard Road, who train the Aircraft 

Engineers! So, we do have our work cutout 

these days and are definitely looking 

to broaden our Homestay base – hence the 

accompanying advertisement! 

Currently the age-range that AHSL caters 

for is from 12-years old to mature adults. 

The younger students (mostly teenagers) are 

generally in AEI’s High School Preparation 

Programme and the adult students are 

preparing for further tertiary study or 

are already enrolled in one of the tertiary 

institutions mentioned. 

The recent nationality mix has included 

Chinese and Taiwanese, Japanese, South 

Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Indonesian, 

Thai, Indian, and several of our South 

American countries! 

AHSL is very attentive to the need to 

support both the homestay families and 

the international students, and so pastoral 

care oversight is a high priority. We are very 

mindful of the significant ‘Adjustment Curve’ 

that all the students go through, no matter 

what their age! After all, they are changing 

country and culture and language of learning! 

This means different food, climate, lifestyles, 

customs, and of course the challenge of 

learning and communicating in English! 

We try to imagine ourselves in the reverse 

scenario and we can totally empathise! We 

hope many of you will consider joining the 

AHSL Team!

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Time Honoured 

Remedy 

Are you 

Magnesium 

According to a country Doctor “D.C. Jarvis” 

from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and 

honey (CV & H) can be an important part of 

a long healthy life. Dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters 

who regularly consumed cider vinegar and 

honey had excellent health with many putting 

in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even 

when well into their eighties. 

Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar 

and honey on arthritis can be remarkable 

with many patients reporting almost total 

relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar 

and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid 

and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted 

calcium deposits and helped the body control 

calcium use. 

As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found 

regular administration of cider vinegar and 

honey at the onset of complaints such 

as the common cold, sinusitis, 

asthmatic attacks, hay fever, 

and childhood diseases 

such as chicken pox 

and measles, was 

accompanied by 

an improvement 

in the condition 

with symptoms 

either disappearing, 

or the conditions were 

extremely mild and soon 

over. 

Apple cider vinegar contains all the goodness 

of the apple in a form that is readily accepted 

by the body. Scientists have found over 90 

different substances in ACV, among them 20 

important trace elements, minerals, essential 

enzymes, a number of different acids including 

malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the 

form of potash and pectin. A scientific study 

at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven 

ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It can 

destroy free radicals, which are a major factor 

in ageing.) and also the ACV can break down 

cholesterol formations in the blood vessels. 

ACV and H is a powerful tonic that also 

promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients 

and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize 

any toxic substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all cider vinegar 

is made in the traditional way and results are 

likely to prove disappointing with these other 

vinegars.

deficient? 

Minerals are the building blocks of 

good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others 

like magnesium are needed in much 

larger amounts and on a regular basis to 

prevent deficiency and maintain optimum 

health. A large number of us do not 

obtain sufficient magnesium from our 

diet and may notice some of the common 

signs of deficiency. Some of the more 

common symptoms that may be caused by 

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle 

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, 

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, 

raised and/or unstable blood pressure, 

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, 

shortness of breath, swallowing problems, 

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, 

irritability, seizures, poor concentration 

and many more. 

Although many young people now show 

signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms 

generally worsen as we age due to our 

digestive system being less efficient. Taking 

a magnesium supplement of sufficient 

strength may be a sensible option to top 

Numerous HealtH Problems may be a magNesium DeficieNcy!

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Be health smart 

this winter 

HaNDS arE the main pathways of germ 

transmission. Hand hygiene is therefore 

the most important measure to avoid the 

transmission of harmful germs. 

Wash your hands, before & after food 

preparation and eating, if you borrow 

someone elses equipment and of course 

after blowing your nose. For convenience 

it is a good idea to have hand sanitiser on 

hand to use in between washing. 

Sneezing & coughing into the crook 

of your arm or tissues rather than your 

hand, reduces the spread of airborne 

bugs. remove tissues to the rubbish 

immediately. 

Keep hydrated, two thirds of your body 

is made of water, so keeping hydrated 

is one of the most important things you 

can do for your health. Dehydration 

symptoms range from headaches to 

nausea to fatigue, but the effects of 

dehydration on your immune system are 

not always as obvious. Staying hydrated 

keeps the mucus membranes moist, which 

keeps the immune system functioning 

optimally. Unfortunately, lattes and wine 

don’t count, but upping your intake of 

water is incredibly beneficial. aim to 

drink at least eight glasses of water a day. 

You’ll notice the difference! 

Eat in season, poor nutrition impairs 

the immune response. Fresh vegetables, 

fruits, nuts, grains and legumes or pulses 

are full of immune-boosting properties 

and antioxidants. Nature provides fresh 

seasonal foods to compensate for what 

our bodies are lacking at that time of 

year. Kiwifruit & citrus fruits that are in 

season throughout winter are packed with 

Vitamin C. 

Stress less, although short periods of 

stress can actually be good for us longterm 

chronic stress lowers our immunity, 

making us more susceptible to colds and 

flu. We all have our own ways of coping 

and reducing stress so whether it’s taking 

a bath, going to the gym, getting outdoors 

in the garden or having fun with the kids, 

do something to unwind. Not only are 

you doing your adrenal glands a favour, 

you’re also reducing your chances of being 

struck down by the latest virus. 

Get a good night’s sleep, sleep is 

essential for your body to rest, repair and 

rejuvenate. (Don’t you find you always 

tend to look your best after a good night’s 

sleep?) The human growth hormone 

that’s released during sleep helps repair 

your body at a cellular level, but it’s 

also beneficial for the immune system. 

Interrupted sleep (or just not enough of 

it) significantly reduces the effectiveness 

of your immune system, particularly the 

natural killer cells, which is your body’s 

first line of defence against germs.

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Christchurch 

School of Music 

INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS: The National Brass Band of New Zealand, which 

includes 13 Christchurch members, were runners-up in a section of the World 

Music Contest. 

Woolston Brass members play 

big role in international success 

CHRISTCHURCH musicians feature 

prominently in the National Brass Band 

of New Zealand, which was named 

runner-up in the brass band section of 

the World Music Contest. 

A third of the band members are from 

Christchurch, with all but one playing 

for Woolston Brass. 

The contest is held every four years in 

Kerkrade, the Netherlands. 

The New Zealand band’s programme 

opened with Whakarangatiratanga, 

commissioned from New Zealand composer 

Gareth Farr. 

The programme also featured a new 

major work written for the band by 

renowned English composer Peter 

Graham. The 39 th Parallel is based on the 

landscape and mythology of the Wanganui 

region in memory of brass band 

icon Kevin Jarrett. 

This year more than 20,000 musicians, 

making up 260 bands from 32 countries 

and five continents, participated. 

The band performed concerts in Stein, 

the Netherlands, and Aachen, Germany, 

before returning to New Zealand last week. 

The 13 Christchurch musicians 

are Kevin McMorran, New Brighton, 

Anthony Smith, Sydenham, Kevin 

Hickman, Sydenham, and his brother 

Graham, Huntsbury, Andrew 

Yorkstone, Burnham, Joe Thomas 

and Sam Pinder, Hoon Hay, Phillip 

Johnston, Spreydon, Nigel Seaton 

and his son Jordan (the youngest 

member of the national band at 20 

years of age), John Mason, Burnham, 

Cameron Lee, Ilam and Vaea 

Peterson, Halswell. 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in and 

around Christchurch. 

CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a 

strong focus on community. On a Saturday 

morning the whole family can find something 

to suit. Preschool and junior school children 

can start their musical journey by joining 

in our experiential “Take Off with Music” 

while older children and adults may opt for 

group or individual lessons on a specific 

instrument (including voice). Those who 

already play are welcome to join in one of 

the great ensembles which all take part in 

regular concerts including Saturday soirees 

and the popular annual Showcase Concert. 

Solo Recitals where individuals can perform 

are held regularly. 

CSM also provides a comprehensive music 

education to participating primary schools 

via its Outreach programmes offering 

tuition in band, strings, recorder, ukulele 

and classroom music in a wide range of 

Christchurch schools. 

Age is no limit - our Late Starters 

programme provides the opportunity for 

adults approaching retirement with more 

time on their hands to learn an instrument 

and join an ensemble with other like-minded 

adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also offers 

a range of weekday opportunities for learning 

and playing music and, if affordability is an 

issue, CSM may be able to offer a discount 

through funding provided by the Rata 

Foundation. 

Term 3 starts on Saturday 29 July and we 

can take new enrolments in most classes and 

ensembles.

Ensuring a safe work place 

LEArning firST aid is not only a 

part of ensuring a safe work place, but also 

an integral part of our engagement with 

the wider community. We all learn the 

necessary skills to ensure that in times of 

emergency we are able to assist our work 

colleagues, but are we able to take these 

skills home, into the community or on to 

the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and 

the injury risk for each place can be 

wide and variable. The office attended by 

administrators does not carry the same 

risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance 

from a regular ambulance service. it is 

therefore essential that you pick the right 

first aid course to suit all of your activities 

– both professional and social. 

Take, for example, an office worker who 

does not have a high risk work environment 

and whose concern might be to ensure 

that they can deal with minor cuts and 

superficial injuries, or the ability to perform 

effective CPr. These skills can be achieved 

on a course of eight hours duration and 

would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to 

a sports field either as a spectator or player 

when a higher level injury occurs. The 

eight hour course covering unit standards 

6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does 

not cover head neck and spinal injuries, 

eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of 

the work place, in fact one in three injuries 

occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. 

new Zealand children are twice as likely 

to die through injury as children who live 

in Australia. They mostly die as a result 

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the 

home. fatalities from leisure and sport are 

not far behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the 

additional unit standard 6400 and provides 

a wide knowledge base for medium to high 

risk environments. This course covers 

many of the skills required to deal with 

the most common injuries, such as falls 

(which can result in head, neck and spinal 

injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best 

suited to your needs, ask your accredited 

first aid training provider. They can explain 

the course content and give you options 

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond 

the workplace and consider your family 

and your location. Check that you have a 

good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date 

with replenished items, and that everyone 

knows where it is located.

Risingholme Community 

Centre Term 3 

Term 3 sees us continuing to offer a range 

of classes across the city at Risingholme 

Community Centre, Riccarton High 

School, Shirley Boys High School, 

Christchurch Girls High School and 

Hornby High School, many of which 

have become a tradition of Risingholme 

Community Centre programme. So as we 

settle into the winter months a great way 

to lift the winter spirits, is to enrol in a 

course of interest – maybe something that 

you have tried before and want to explore 

further or perhaps you would like to try 

something new. 

It has been proven that Lifelong Learning 

has many benefits with the obvious ones 

being the continuation of a learning 

journey, learning a new skill, increased 

confidence, meeting new people and much 

more. Our full range of classes can be 

viewed on our website www.risingholme.

Is English your second Language? In 

term 3 we have ESOL classes including 

IELTS running at Risingholme Community

language you can enrol via our website 

www.risingholme.org.nz or phone the 

Risingholme office 332 7359 

New and exciting at Risingholme 

Community Centre is Zentangle. 

What is this you might say - well if 

you can’t sit still enough for yoga, or 

your mind wanders in meditation, 

or you would like a creative aspect to 

your mindfulness, this may work for 

you. This method of drawing does not 

require any previous drawing ability, 

it can be a 15 minute practice you can 

build into your everyday, or you can 

explore some of the more creative ways 

you can then use this design practise 

to make your own cards, images, or 

decorate products. This class will teach 

you a variety of ‘tangles’ and get you started 

on your Zentangle path in a supportive and 

creative atmosphere, and you can build it 

at a pace that suits you, within your time 

constraints or desire as you move through 

the term.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of dampness 

in your house 

Now wITH the colder and wetter weather 

on its way, home owners are focusing on 

ways to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury 

especially, post-quake, many people have 

relocated to homes that suffer from rising 

damp which can be associated with health 

problems. Independent tests have shown 

that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the 

ground and enter a house every day, leading 

to mildew, mould, condensation and musty 

smells. moulds can produce various allergic 

reactions and the frail, elderly and very young 

are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted for our 

New Zealand conditions and applications 

it provides a layer of protection against 

rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that 

the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete 

have noticed recently, is that many owners 

of properties which had underfloor foam 

concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 

0508 362626 for more information.

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be 

Balanced 

Pressure 

Ventilation 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.
