$100m in rates: Do you<br />
get your money’s worth?<br />
Study shows what<br />
north-west<br />
residents are paying<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE FENDALTON, Waimairi<br />
and Harewood wards are putting<br />
$100 million into the city’s rates<br />
fund.<br />
That’s almost a fifth of the total<br />
$497 million the city council<br />
collected in rates for the 20<strong>16</strong>/17<br />
year.<br />
But Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Sam<br />
MacDonald says the $100 million<br />
doesn’t always match the level of<br />
service local ratepayers get.<br />
Mr MacDonald, an accountant,<br />
has done a fifnancial exercise on<br />
the rates people in the wards pay.<br />
“I wanted to get it particularly<br />
in the lead up to the Long Term<br />
Plan so we can advocate for<br />
things like getting our roads<br />
fifxed and getting the basics<br />
covered,” he said.<br />
Mr MacDonald said although<br />
the wards put a “high” amount<br />
of money into the city council’s<br />
rates fund, residents aren’t<br />
always getting things like good<br />
roading, clean water and rubbish<br />
collected.<br />
“We can say this is how much<br />
we pay into the kitty so it should<br />
translate . . . service shouldn’t<br />
waver,” he said. On top of that,<br />
there are the larger projects such<br />
as the new Fendalton pump<br />
house or regenerating Bishopdale<br />
which also need to be lobbied for.<br />
“The essential point of local<br />
government is to deal with basic<br />
things like water, road repairs<br />
and collecting rubbish,” he said.<br />
“We’ve got to get the basics<br />
right and I don’t think we<br />
always are . . . there are always<br />
improvements that could be<br />
made,” he said.<br />

FIX IT: Community board deputy chairman Sam MacDonald said residents in his wards should<br />
have the basics covered like roading, considering they have paid $100 million rates.<br />

AN INTERESTING exercise on our front<br />
page today which Sam MacDonald spent<br />
some of his holidays on.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board deputy chairman is an<br />
accountant by profession so he tampered with some figures over<br />
Christmas/New Year, the outcome of which is in today’s paper.<br />
The question is: Does he have a valid argument – are ratepayers<br />
in the Fendalton, Waimairi and Harewood wards getting<br />
their money’s worth from the high rates they pay?<br />
MacDonald is questioning whether they are and, as a result, he<br />
will be distributing the figures to community board members,<br />
who can use them when talking to interest groups.<br />
That will arm those groups with data if and when they lobby<br />
the city council for money to fix roads, and provide better<br />
services. – Barry Clarke<br />

Boards eye traffic, youth issues<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
FROM FINISHING anchor<br />
projects, to getting the basics<br />
right and keeping rates down –<br />
community boards are set for a<br />
busy year.<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> asked the<br />
Papanui-Innes and Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood community<br />
boards what the key issues<br />
are in <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
said its plans include a number<br />
of short, medium and longterm<br />
goals.<br />
“The board will be focusing<br />
on mitigating any negatives the<br />
growth in traffic . . . creates,”<br />
Ms Jones said.<br />
This year it will also be vying<br />
to get funding included for a<br />
youth recreation centre in the<br />
Long Term Plan, she said. It<br />
also wants to continue connecting<br />
to the local community<br />
through events like the garden<br />
and the edible garden awards.<br />
Papanui city councillor Mike<br />
Davidson said he was personally<br />
looking forward to seeing<br />
some positive community<br />
outcomes in his area.<br />
“Like the repair of the<br />
Redwood Plunket room being<br />
completed and this building being<br />
used by the community for<br />
Ali Jones<br />
Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
the community,” he said.<br />
Cr Davidson said although it<br />
is currently at an early stage, he<br />
is hoping to see the regeneration<br />
of the historic Papanui Bush in<br />
Bridgestone Reserve started.<br />
“With the Long Term Plan<br />
being adopted, I will be looking<br />
to secure funding for much<br />
needed outdoor youth recreational<br />
facilities in Papanui<br />
and Redwood over the next 10<br />
years.” Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
chairman David Cartwright<br />
David<br />
Cartwright<br />
Aaron<br />
Keown<br />
said most of the board’s objectives<br />
will come off the back of<br />
the long-term and annual plans.<br />
“It ranges from maintaining<br />
all of the standard projects to<br />
the bigger, chunkier end of the<br />
spectrum like developing Bishopdale<br />
Mall,” he said.<br />
But Mr Cartwright said,<br />
personally, he was particularly<br />
interested in focusing on savvy<br />
spending of city council funds.<br />
“Being responsible with<br />
council money has always been<br />
a concern of mine,” he said. Mr<br />
CONGESTION: Dealing with<br />
traffic is high on the priority<br />
list for the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Cartwright would like to see<br />
the annual general charge on<br />
city council rates reviewed and<br />
increased. “It’s about $80 or<br />
$90 at the moment . . . it doesn’t<br />
even include rubbish removal.<br />
The inequality needs to be<br />
reviewed,” he said.<br />
Harewood city councillor<br />
Aaron Keown said the plan for<br />
lights at Harewood, Breens and<br />
Gardiners Rds is at the top of<br />
his list.<br />
But that isn’t the only goal Cr<br />
Keown’s is shooting for. He said<br />
he will also lobby for rates not<br />
increasing more than inflation.<br />
“We’ve got to get spending<br />
under control. We’ve got these<br />
community facilities that are<br />
really expensive . . . and so<br />
many pools. It’s crazy, we need<br />
to rein it in,” he said.<br />

Bill the Botanist leaves his garden<br />
LEGACY: Bill Sykes on his 90th birthday in October.<br />
Well known St Albans botanist Bill Sykes passed away on <strong>January</strong> 5. His<br />
perennial love of nature and adventure meant life was never quiet.<br />
Julia Evans reports.<br />
WILLIAM SYKES was born<br />
with a green thumb.<br />
Fondly called Bill the Botanist,<br />
the well-known St Albans<br />
resident passed away at Nurse<br />
Maude Hospice aged 90.<br />
But it was when he was at<br />
primary school in Suffolk,<br />
United Kingdom, that his<br />
life-long love of all things flora<br />
began during a competition to<br />
collect as many wild flowers and<br />
plants as possible.<br />
From the age of <strong>16</strong>, he went<br />
on expeditions to the Himalayas<br />
in Nepal to study undiscovered<br />
plants and animals, visited<br />
the United States to study<br />
Californian redwoods, and<br />
went on a trip to the Kermadec<br />
Islands which had to be cut<br />
short due to a volcanic eruption.<br />
He published accounts of<br />
his adventures and discoveries<br />
in various journals and<br />
publications throughout his<br />
life. In 2005, he was awarded a<br />
New Zealand Order of Merit for<br />
services to botany.<br />
But one of his proudest<br />
moments was in 20<strong>16</strong>, when<br />
the latest of his books was<br />
published.<br />
WORK: Bill Sykes on an expedition in Nepal.<br />
Flora in the Cook Islands<br />
is based on more than three<br />
decades of work and countless<br />
trips to the Pacific atolls to<br />
study the plant life. It followed<br />
the release of Floras of Niue<br />
and Floras of the Kermadec<br />
Islands in the 1970s. He also coauthored<br />
Floras of New Zealand<br />
Volume IV in 1988.<br />
“But he was an incredibly<br />
humble man. To us, he was<br />
just Bill. But to a lot of other<br />
people, he was incredibly highly<br />
regarded,” Mr Sykes daughterin-law<br />
Marnie Kent said.<br />

Tuesday <strong>January</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 5<br />
behind aged 90<br />
In 1961, following an<br />
invitation to work with<br />
the botany division of the<br />
Department of Scientific<br />
Research at Lincoln from<br />
renown New Zealand botanist<br />
Eric Godley, Mr Sykes left the<br />
UK for New Zealand.<br />
In spite of retiring in the early<br />
1990s, Mr Sykes continued to<br />
work as a research associate<br />
in the botany division and<br />
contributed to the New Zealand<br />
Grass Flora, 2000.<br />
He moved to St Albans in<br />
1991. About two years later, he<br />
married Peggy Kelly, then three<br />
years on the pair co-founded<br />
the Packe Street Community<br />
Garden just down the road from<br />
their long-time home.<br />
Mr Sykes and his wife were<br />
made life members of the Packe<br />
Street Association in March,<br />
having spent countless hours<br />
pruning, weeding and tending<br />
the native plants.<br />
An afternoon tea was held in<br />
the garden to celebrate his 90th<br />
birthday in October.<br />
Ms Kent said Mr Sykes’<br />
funeral, held at John Rind<br />
Funeral Services in Richmond<br />
last Tuesday, was “absolute<br />
madness” with people packing<br />
in to pay their respects.<br />
Mr Sykes left behind a large<br />
and loving family, including<br />
son Julian, daughter Claire and<br />
granddaughter Amelia – as well<br />
as step-children Katrinka, Justin<br />
and Louise.<br />
His family, friends and<br />
botanical colleagues were<br />
very dear to him, Ms Kent said.<br />

WORK IS set to start on<br />
repairing and upgrading St<br />
Albans Park.<br />
The $900,000 revamp of the<br />
park’s drainage and irrigation<br />
system, as well as remediation<br />
of the field playing surface, is<br />
scheduled to start this week.<br />
The upgrade comes on the<br />
back of ongoing frustration<br />
from St Albans residents who<br />
said the park and playground<br />
have been a cesspit of smelly<br />
brown water following the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
“Conditions have deteriorated<br />
for the park since the earthquakes,”<br />
council operation<br />
manager for neighbourhood<br />
and sports parks Al Hardy told<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong>.<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board sent an apology<br />
to residents about the delay to<br />
repairs.<br />

Park upgrade to finally start<br />
for the duration of the work,<br />
which is expected to be complete<br />
by July.<br />
“There will be heavy machinery<br />
operating during the day.<br />
They will be stripping the existing<br />
surface, installing drainage<br />
and irrigation, and installing a<br />
new playing surface,” the pamphlet<br />
said.<br />
There may be increased noise<br />
but it said dust would be kept to<br />
a minimum.<br />
The skate park and flying fox<br />
will remain open with portable<br />
toilets available for use as the<br />
toilet pavilion was pulled down<br />
at the end of last year.<br />
“There is also a new pavilion<br />
being erected under a separate<br />
contract. Work for this will run<br />
concurrently with the park upgrade,”<br />
the pamphlet said.<br />
Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
said the board worked hard last<br />
year to get the redevelopment of<br />
St Albans Park under way.<br />
“After delays that were disruptive<br />
and far too long,” she said.<br />

Rehoming unwanted and<br />
With the SPCA and<br />
other organisations<br />
rehoming hundreds<br />
of animals this<br />
summer, reporter<br />
Emily O’Connell<br />
checks out some of<br />
the potential pets<br />
desperately in need<br />
of some love and<br />
attention<br />
PASCAL THE cat is looking for<br />
a new home.<br />
And if she gets one, the nineyear-old<br />
will become one of<br />
hundreds of cats rehomed by<br />
the Society for the Prevention of<br />
Cruelty to Animals Canterbury<br />
this summer.<br />
Pascal is an affectionate and<br />
loving animal, according to<br />
SPCA southern region general<br />
manager Barry Helem. But the<br />
furry feline has been without a<br />
home for two months.<br />
Mr Helem said Pascal was<br />
found lost in Ashburton and was<br />
taken to a vet clinic as she had an<br />
injured tongue and some dental<br />
issues. She was collected by the<br />
SPCA ambulance and had a few<br />
teeth removed as well as other<br />
treatments to help her heal.<br />
Pascal then went to a foster<br />
home where her foster parents<br />
said she loved “rolling around,<br />
chilling out in front of the fan<br />
and sleeping on the pillows.”<br />
Mr Helem said the perfect<br />
home for Pascal would be one<br />
with no young children, “so<br />
she can live out her golden<br />
years calmly being the centre of<br />
attention.”<br />
“She has two disclaimers –<br />
one regarding the teeth which<br />
she had removed and another<br />
WAITING GAME:<br />
Pascal has been<br />
at the SPCA for<br />
two months and is<br />
eagerly awaiting a<br />
new home.<br />
regarding a historic soft tissue<br />
injury to her right hip,” he said.<br />
Mr Helem said SPCA<br />
Canterbury has had a very high<br />
adoption rate during summer<br />
but also a very high influx of<br />
animals coming into its care.<br />
“Our adoptions for the<br />
November and December period<br />
totalled 3<strong>16</strong>. This included<br />
201 cats and kittens, 14 dogs<br />
and puppies, 59 rabbits and<br />
32 livestock. This total is an 11<br />
per cent increase over the same<br />
period last year,” he said.<br />
Pascal is one of about 20 cats<br />
SPCA Canterbury is currently<br />
trying to rehome.<br />
The organisation has 321<br />
animals on-site at present and<br />
139 animals in foster homes.<br />
Adoption fees for an adult cat<br />
like Pascal are $150, kittens $250,<br />
adult dogs $250, puppies $350<br />
and rabbits $50.<br />
In a bid to continue rehoming<br />
animals, SPCA Canterbury has<br />
a Facebook page which profiles<br />
different animals in their care.<br />
The page has more than 22,000<br />
followers.<br />
SPCA is a charity which<br />
helps protect animals that are<br />
sick, injured, lost, abused or<br />
simply abandoned. Every year,<br />
the 40 SPCA centres across<br />
the country receive more than<br />
45,000 animals through their<br />
doors and 14,000 animal welfare<br />
complaints.<br />

Northlands revamp starts<br />
CONSTRUCTION OF the<br />
$18.8 million expansion to<br />
Northlands Shopping Centre is<br />
under way.<br />
Work began yesterday, marking<br />
the start of the 10-month<br />
project that will see a new entertainment<br />
and dining precinct<br />
added to the Main North Rd<br />
mall.<br />
Called Langdons Quarter, it<br />
will include 12 food tenancies,<br />
plus two new external buildings<br />
expected to open in October.<br />
The new food precinct will be<br />
built under the existing cinema<br />
complex, with a new pedestrian<br />
entrance providing direct access<br />
to the south-western car<br />
park building, as well as the<br />
refurbishment of the existing<br />
bathrooms.<br />
The development will include<br />
the reconfiguration of the existing<br />
food court and improved<br />
pedestrian flow within the<br />
southern end of the centre.<br />
Centre manager Vicki Bain<br />
said: “The design of Langdons<br />
Quarter draws on<br />
international trends to provide<br />
a unique experience for our<br />
PLANS: Work has started on the $18.8 million entertainment<br />

customers. As part of the<br />
development, direct pedestrian<br />
access will be created to the<br />
multi-level car park on<br />
the south-western corner<br />
of Northlands, providing<br />
great convenience for our<br />
customers.<br />
“We are very excited<br />
about Langdons Quarter<br />
and the impact it will have<br />
on the existing centre,” she<br />
said. As part of the project,<br />
seismic strengthening work will<br />
be undertaken with a steel structure<br />
being added to the building.<br />
Teen takes hotel scholarship<br />
AIMEE TAYLOR (right) has<br />
just booked a one-way ticket to<br />
Adelaide.<br />
The Papanui resident and<br />
former St Margaret’s College<br />
student was awarded a $28,000<br />
scholarship for the International<br />
College of Hotel Management.<br />
Aimee is set to move to the<br />
college’s campus in South<br />
Australia in July to start the<br />
four-year programme, which<br />
leads to a Bachelor of Business<br />
and Bachelor of International<br />
Hotel Management.<br />
She was the only winner from<br />
New Zealand out of five scholarships<br />
awarded throughout<br />
Australasia. She undertook a<br />
written assignment and did a<br />
panel interview for the scholarship.<br />
The college is the Asia-Pacific<br />
campus of the Swiss Hotel<br />
Association and Aimee said it<br />
will give her a wider knowledge<br />
of the hotel industry.<br />
“The history of the association<br />
also interests me and it would<br />
be cool to be able to learn under<br />
one of the oldest associations in<br />
the world”, she said.<br />
The 18-year-old was born in<br />
Melbourne and said she has<br />
always felt a deep connection<br />
with Australia.<br />
The college programme will<br />
see Aimee taught in four academic<br />
semesters, complete 1500<br />
hours of industry placement<br />
and learn a second language.<br />
The industry placement<br />
programme could take Aimee<br />
anywhere in Australia in her<br />
first year and anywhere in the<br />
world during her second year.<br />

$100m in rates: What<br />
you get for your money<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr MacDonald says a focus<br />
will be making sure the level of<br />
service ratepayers receive from<br />
the city council matches the rates<br />
they are paying.<br />
He also doesn’t want rates to<br />
increase.<br />
“I expect rate increases to be<br />
at a minimum, we’re already<br />
putting in that $100 million,” he<br />
said.<br />
He said his figures can be<br />
used by the community board to<br />
provide context when talking to<br />
community groups and ratepayers<br />
or when lobbying the city<br />
council for funding.<br />
“The way I see it, council talks<br />
about how it wants to be responsible<br />
with money, so this gives<br />
people a context to where their<br />
money is going, what they’re paying<br />
and where it’s being spent,”<br />
he said.<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do<br />
you think the Fendalton-<br />

getting the level of service it<br />
should from the city council<br />

Burnside-based preschool and nursery,<br />
The Enchanted Garden, was handed over<br />
to new owner-operator Debbie Taylor in<br />
October. She has been in early childhood<br />
management for over seven years and has<br />
three children of her own. Along with the<br />
familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s<br />
vision is to continue the high quality care<br />
and reputation that The Enchanted Garden<br />
has maintained since 1995.<br />
The centre offers children a home away<br />
from home, with a philosophy based on<br />
holistic, individualised care. They engage<br />
higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow<br />
better care and attention. The centre<br />
is staffed with a team of professional<br />
educators and nurturers who are highly<br />
trained and passionate about creating<br />
happy experiences.<br />
The setting is warm and home-like in<br />
nature while the playground and indoor<br />
environment have been designed to allow<br />
children to safely explore and learn with<br />
confidence. This is supported by a strong<br />
curriculum designed for active and exciting<br />
play.<br />
With 10 spaces in their nursery, and<br />
23 spaces in their preschool, the centre<br />
provides the complete early childhood<br />
service. The fluidity of care allows children<br />
to form close bonds while families enjoy<br />
peace of mind.<br />

HISTORY: The Papanui railway station was the starting point for Papanui<br />
Primary School pupils’ days out during World War 1.<br />
Papanui pupils always<br />
loved summer<br />
Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams returns for<br />
the year with his monthly look into Papanui’s rich history. He<br />
writes about the adventures of Papanui Primary School pupils<br />
through the 1920s and 30s<br />
THE immediate<br />
post-World War 1 period<br />
was significant for<br />
Papanui Primary School.<br />
The Canterbury Education<br />
Board finally agreed<br />
that the original school,<br />
built in 1870 on the corner<br />
of the North and Winters<br />
Rds, was no longer fit for<br />
its purpose.<br />
In 1926, the move to a<br />
larger site, featuring modern<br />
buildings between<br />
Winters and Tuttons<br />
Rds (now Cranford St),<br />
was welcomed as a new<br />
beginning for the school –<br />
although one feature that<br />
did not change was the<br />
institution of the annual<br />
school picnic.<br />
The school committee<br />
was prepared to permit<br />
lessons to be suspended<br />
for a day for the event,<br />
which was usually held<br />
at a venue that entailed a<br />
train trip.<br />
Perhaps that experience<br />
was seen as an integral<br />
part of the annual treat.<br />
But another issue was<br />
the timing of the muchanticipated<br />
event.<br />
Perhaps the ideal date<br />
would have been in December<br />
in the last week<br />
of school when juvenile<br />
concentration span in<br />
standard lessons would<br />
have been naturally flagging<br />
as the long summer<br />
holidays approached.<br />
However, in the interwar<br />
period, the committee<br />
tended to favour February,<br />
March or April, possibly<br />
as the weather was seen to<br />
be more settled.<br />
In both 1925 and 1926,<br />
the chosen venue was<br />
Pearson Park, Oxford.<br />
The school committee<br />
minutes included quotes<br />
from the railways department<br />
for the return trip:<br />
Children’s fares were 1/6<br />
(15 cents) teachers, 2 shillings<br />
(20 cents) and other<br />
adults 2/6 (25 cents).<br />
In 1927, the venue was<br />
Little River. The train was<br />
scheduled to leave Papanui<br />
at 9.15am.<br />
This would have been a<br />
long day for children (and<br />
staff) as the train did not<br />
leave for the return trip<br />
until 4.30pm.<br />
Later events were held in<br />
Ashburton and Amberley,<br />
although in 1934 the<br />
children had to be satisfied<br />
with a walk to the Papanui<br />
Domain in Sawyers Arms<br />
Rd.<br />
Perhaps a sign of hard<br />
times in the depression of<br />
the early 1930s.<br />
A school committee<br />
minute from 1932 gives<br />
some idea of the activities<br />
involved in the annual<br />
picnic.<br />
Committee responsibilities<br />
were defined and<br />
assigned – for example,<br />
judges, recorders, handicappers,<br />
and the provision<br />
of milk, soft drink and<br />
lollies, a measuring tape,<br />
bell and sacks.<br />
In 1938, athletic events<br />
were not the only activity<br />
on offer, the Amberley<br />
baths were available for<br />
swimming and the pupils<br />
were then given free ice<br />
cream and soft drink to<br />
complement the healthier<br />
snack provided by local<br />
orchardist, Frank Sisson,<br />
who donated four cases of<br />
apples.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Co-Q10 reduces all<br />
causes of mortality<br />
by 50%<br />
Researchers were amazed with the<br />
results of how beneficial a natural nutrient<br />
Coenzyme- Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human<br />
body. Co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in<br />
the body’s cells that is essential for cell<br />
function, energy and survival. The Heart,<br />
Liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large<br />
amounts of Co-Q10 to function well.<br />
In a recent multi country double blind<br />
trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to<br />
protect against heart failure, 420 patients<br />
with severe heart failure were given CoQ10<br />
or a placebo and then followed for two<br />
years. It was found to the amazement of<br />
the researchers the patients who received<br />
the Co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an<br />
adverse cardiovascular event or death<br />
compared to the placebo patients. Not only<br />
this but the patients on the CoQ10 had a<br />
50% reduction in death not only from<br />
cardiovascular events but from all causes.<br />
According to lead study author Professor<br />
Mortensen this study is the first in over a<br />
decade to show a natural nutrient can<br />
reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10<br />
should be added as a standard treatment<br />
for anyone with cardiovascular complaints.<br />
It is known that CoQ10 levels decrease in<br />
the heart muscle of patients with heart<br />
failure as severity worsens. Statin drugs<br />
are used to treat many patients with<br />
cardiovascular problems but these drugs<br />
also reduce CoQ10 levels further in the<br />
body. Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body<br />
can be low energy and endurance, muscle<br />
pain, poor memory and concentration and<br />
poor heart function or heart failure.<br />
CoQ10 levels are known to decrease<br />
as we age and many researchers believe<br />
keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient<br />
may help prevent many chronic diseases<br />
including cancer.<br />
Co-Q10 is available as a natural<br />
supplement to support good health.<br />

Centuries old folk remedy<br />
supports good health!<br />
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an<br />
array of powerful health benefits. It is none<br />
other than the popular apple cider vinegar<br />
or ACV. Since the time of Hippocrates –<br />
the “Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />
renowned for its curative properties.<br />
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and<br />
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis<br />
reports how he found that Vermonters<br />
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey<br />
had excellent health with many putting in<br />
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even<br />
when well into their eighties. He also noted<br />
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />
remarkable with many patients reporting<br />
almost total relief after taking a course<br />
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar<br />
counteracted calcium deposits and helped<br />
the body control calcium use. He also noted<br />
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and<br />
H around meal time had excellent blood<br />
pressure and circulation. The reason he<br />
found was that protein foods thickened the<br />
blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood<br />
thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly<br />
through the blood vessels and capillaries.<br />
This poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />
health by limiting nutrients to the cells as<br />
well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />
To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />
increases blood pressure but this puts<br />
more stress on the blood vessels, organs<br />
and heart. Having ACV and H with meals<br />
will help prevent protein raising the blood<br />

pressure. It also contributes to a feeling<br />
of greater well-being because the thinner<br />
blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />
through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found<br />
regular consumption of CV and H to be<br />
an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />
health attributes.<br />
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all<br />
the goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />
readily accepted by the body. Good health<br />
starts with good digestion and assimilation<br />
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will<br />
stimulate and promote healthy digestion<br />
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good<br />
health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />
helps prevent disease by neutralising any<br />
toxic substances that enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all ACV is<br />
produced in the traditional way and results<br />
are likely to prove disappointing with these<br />
other vinegars.<br />
Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV<br />
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in<br />
the traditional way. It is double strength so<br />
you can use less.<br />

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

<strong>2018</strong> edition<br />
Enormous progress is being made in<br />
the construction of a new campus for<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School.<br />
Some 5000 piles have now been driven<br />
into the ground at the site in QEII Park.<br />
The state of the art campus is on track<br />
to be opened for term two of 2019.<br />
Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume<br />
expects the campus will become a<br />
crucial asset for the east of Christchurch.<br />
“Residents in the east of Christchurch<br />
have long been calling for a new<br />
high school, and the new campus<br />
will be a place where the community<br />
is welcomed. Many of our facilities,<br />
including the sports facilities will be<br />
available for community use,” says Sue<br />
Hume.<br />
Among the facilities are a Performing<br />
Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre, a<br />
second smaller<br />
100-seat theatre and three full-sized<br />
indoor Gymnasiums.<br />
Shirley Boys’ Principal John Laurenson<br />
says the new school will be the ultimate<br />
campus for providing high quality single<br />
sex education.<br />
“We’ll still be offering all the benefits of<br />
a single-sex education, but our students<br />
will have the advantage of being able<br />
to learn and grow alongside students<br />
from our partner school, in what will be<br />
a truly incredible campus,” says John<br />
Laurenson.<br />
In the meantime, as work continues<br />
onsite, the schools are gearing up for a<br />
busy <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
The schools will make New Zealand<br />
history in 2019 when they become the<br />
first two single sex schools to co-locate.<br />

Christchurch Girls<br />
Last year our school was 140 years old<br />
and in that 140 year history we have never<br />
doubted what we stand for. We know<br />
what we are. From our beginnings in<br />
1877 we have only ever been a purpose<br />
built school for girls. When our school<br />
first opened on that September day in<br />
1877 who could have envisaged 140<br />
years later: three site moves, a number of<br />
earthquakes, 13 principals and a fabulous<br />
new building? In that time we have seen<br />
the move from ink pens to ball points,<br />
from blackboards to whiteboards to<br />
laptops. It makes you wonder what the<br />
future holds in store and how can you<br />
prepare for what may or may not be? At<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High School we work<br />
hard to build capacity in our students so<br />
that they are able to embrace the future<br />
with confidence.<br />
Students strive to pursue personal<br />
excellence on the sporting field, in cultural<br />
activities, through community service and<br />
academically. They do so with energy and<br />
enthusiasm, supported by an experienced,<br />
professional and caring staff. We are<br />
traditional in aspects such as uniform,<br />
courtesy and the high expectations we<br />
have of our students but innovative in the<br />
wide range of opportunities we provide<br />
both inside and outside the classroom.<br />
Hence our vision: Embrace Tradition,<br />
Embrace Innovation, Embrace Excellence.<br />
Education takes us from darkness into<br />
light.<br />
Kia tu ki tenei taumata – o te Whai Ao – ki<br />
te Ao Marama<br />
Kia mohio hei whakatuwhera mou<br />
Nau mai, Haere mai.<br />
So stand at this threshold – Te Whai Ao –<br />
The World of Light and know that it is open<br />
for you. You are welcomed.<br />

<strong>2018</strong> Pathways at Linwood College<br />
Education is about the well-being of the<br />
whole person and how developmentally<br />
positive experiences enrich our<br />
students’ understanding of who they<br />
are and broaden their outlook. They<br />
nurture students’ classroom focus by<br />
contextualising their learning and sowing<br />
the seeds of positive ambition.<br />
Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed<br />
curriculum’. This means the school,<br />
students and families knowing:<br />
1. Students’ prior learning and skills as they<br />
come into LC from our partner primary<br />
schools and building on these successes<br />
2. How the learning at LC connects to<br />
what the students want to do when they<br />
leave school. “What are my post-school<br />
pathways and how does my time at LC<br />
help me achieve these pathways?”<br />
In this way learning is meaningful to the<br />
individual and strengths-based.<br />
Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e<br />

Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru Ao o<br />

High School community.<br />
What an exciting year we have ahead of us<br />
in <strong>2018</strong>. We will move into the first two of our<br />
new buildings around the middle of the year.<br />
Our new gymnasium offers a second full<br />
sized basketball court to complement the<br />
court in the existing Gymnasium. It will also<br />
contain a fitness and weights room (a new<br />
addition for students) and teaching spaces.<br />

Students learn best when who they are in<br />
terms of language, culture and identity – is<br />
affirmed. Enhancing the mana and dignity<br />
of the individual is at the heart of Linwood<br />
College.<br />
Our school’s Year 7-13 curriculum creates<br />
aspiration and community. There is<br />
age-appropriate educational and social<br />
continuity and multiple opportunities for<br />
leadership so students excel and develop<br />
independence.<br />
At our school all students can make<br />
their mark whether academic, cultural<br />
or sporting and set their direction for life<br />
after secondary school. An LC leaver is<br />
confident and well-prepared for the future.<br />
Our leavers continue to join thousands of<br />
former LC students who have achieved<br />
personal success both within New Zealand<br />
and overseas.<br />
The main building (the one you see from<br />
Waterloo Road) will contain specialist<br />
teaching spaces for technologies, visual arts<br />
and sciences. It will also include our learning<br />
commons, Whare, student cafe and wellness<br />
resources, staffroom, and administration.<br />
We all know of course that a school is much<br />
more than its buildings, and a huge amount<br />
of work has gone into adapting how we<br />
cause learning.<br />
The Manaiakalani pedagogy (Learn Create<br />
Share), and the use of digital devices<br />
(Chromebooks) is having a huge effect on<br />
student achievement, with achievement<br />
surpassing growth and improvement<br />
nationally by a significant margin. We ask<br />
all students to come to school equipped<br />
with a Chromebook, apart from your time,<br />
there is little better you can invest in your<br />
child’s education than the purchase of that<br />
Chromebook.<br />
Junior students are increasingly approaching<br />
their learning via real world contexts<br />
(whether it’s the arts or business, or project<br />
based learning designed to improve our<br />
community in real ways). This is contributing<br />
to improved engagement and improved<br />
learning.<br />
We are a very values based school, and our<br />
students repeatedly show that they have a<br />
heart for our values, for their community, and<br />
for what is right.<br />
What an amazing year we are going to have.<br />

Stress-Free Day 2017 at Marian College.<br />
South New Brighton Primary School<br />
children were delighted to see a Christmas<br />
Sleigh in their playground area on<br />
Wednesday morning.<br />
There was much excitement around a<br />
visit from Tony Simpson, the writer and<br />
director of the newly released movie ‘Kiwi<br />
Christmas’ and the sleigh from the movie.<br />
Tony visited the school to share the<br />
process of making a movie from<br />
developing the idea, writing the script,<br />
casting the actors and adding the special<br />
effects. The children were in awe listening<br />
to him and asked some fantastic questions<br />
about the journey of making the movie.<br />
The children from the Ruru and Kuaka<br />
teams then got to sit inside the sleigh<br />
that was used in the actual movie. Even<br />
Principal John Bockett got in on the action<br />
by sitting inside the sleigh and making<br />
it go faster than the speed of light by<br />
pressing the red button on the dashboard<br />
of the sleigh! The children had so much<br />
fun and loved enjoying the magic of a ‘Kiwi<br />
Christmas’.<br />

Villa Maria College<br />
<strong>2018</strong> edition<br />
Hagley Community College<br />
Villa Maria College is a state integrated<br />
Catholic secondary school for girls in Years<br />
7 – 13. The foundation for everything we<br />
do is our Catholic faith, which we express<br />
through our Mercy charism.<br />
We aim to offer spiritual formation and<br />
pastoral care in the tradition of Catherine<br />
McAuley, and the Sisters of Mercy who<br />
founded the College in 1918. This year we<br />
turn 100 years old and will be celebrating<br />
in style on <strong>16</strong>,17,18 February.<br />
Our Mission is to: “Empower each young<br />
woman to determine her potential, live<br />
Gospel values, confidently embrace lifelong<br />
learning and as a Mercy woman be<br />
inspired to make a difference”.<br />
We have a proud academic history,<br />
annually achieving academic results<br />
which are among the best in the country.<br />
Students set high goals and the College<br />
supports them in striving for excellence.<br />
Our most recent NCEA results included<br />
pass rates of 93.5% at Level 1, 95.2% at<br />
Level 2 and 97.4% at Level 3. UE 86.4%.<br />
Villa Maria College offers many sporting<br />
opportunities, our Sports Director coordinates<br />
over 30 sports for girls to choose<br />
from. It’s not surprising that we have<br />
extremely high participation levels along<br />
with impressive regional and national<br />
successes!<br />
The cultural life of the College is also<br />
filled with extensive musical and choral<br />
opportunities along with bi-annual<br />
Productions and Stage Challenge entries.<br />
We invite you to visit our Open Day on 8<br />
May, <strong>2018</strong> and see for yourself our special<br />
character. You will also find a wealth of<br />
information on our website –www.villa.<br />
school.nz<br />
Over 1,000 students enrol into Hagley<br />
each year. They choose Hagley because<br />
of the great choice of subjects and<br />
the unique programmes Hagley offers.<br />
Students go to Hagley because of the<br />
way they are treated and supported.<br />
Every student at Hagley knows that<br />
it is cool to be different and they<br />
celebrate this difference in a dynamic<br />
environment.<br />
With over 150 senior subjects available,<br />
Hagley creates opportunities that you<br />
never imagined were possible at school.<br />
Imagine being able to be an animator,<br />
a dancer, a scientist, a film producer, a<br />
fashion designer, or a chef. At Hagley<br />
When Shirley Intermediate School’s<br />
two swimming pools were earthquake<br />
damaged the SIS Board of Trustees, having<br />
found no likely help sources, undertook<br />
costly repairs. Now, after six summers<br />
their pupils continue to reap the benefits.<br />
In addition to swimming almost daily,<br />
pupils can also join the endurance club.<br />
As few SIS pupils attend swim clubs, It is<br />
significant whenever the 1km continuous<br />
swimming certificate is awarded.<br />

the St Albans Swimming Club – formerly<br />

Principal, Geoff Siave said the pools<br />
provide achievement opportunities -<br />

This absolute gem on the upper slopes of Clifton<br />
Hill will captivate you on every level. The expansive<br />
4-bedroom home could fit in proudly anywhere in<br />
the world, but just happens to grace Christchurch,<br />
with breath-taking views across the city, Pegasus<br />
Bay and the Southern Alps.<br />
The house was designed by Architect Jonty Rout<br />
of Sheppard & Rout. Rout looked after every detail,<br />
including quality, scale and light at every turn,<br />
making this huge home an unparalleled offering<br />
in the hills of Christchurch. Upon entry into the<br />
home, luxury surrounds you combined with<br />
the connection to the views beyond. Gaggenau<br />
appliances, granite benchtop and a butler’s pantry<br />
are just the start, the kitchen continuous with a<br />
casual sitting and dining area, completing a space<br />
that sets the tone for the rest of the property.<br />
The 350m2 house spreads across 3 levels, and<br />
embodies the openness of its Tuscan influences,<br />
with high ceilings, tiled and wooden floors, and<br />
large outdoor balconies. The main living level is a<br />
dramatic and elegant space, with a formal dining<br />
area and an enormous light filled lounge offering<br />
impressive 180- degree views, and opens out to a<br />
sun filled balcony. A guest bedroom has separate<br />
external access and a connecting bathroom of the<br />
highest standard. Storage throughout has been well<br />
catered for with separate spaces designed to allow<br />
you to keep the home in immaculate order.<br />
The lower level comprises another large living<br />
area, a luxurious bathroom with built-in laundry,<br />
and three bedrooms including the master. The<br />
master bedroom has impressive proportions, and<br />
joins to a massive and uniquely beautiful private<br />
bathroom, complete with bathtub, Italian wall<br />
tiles, and a large window linking to the garden and<br />
mountains beyond.<br />
