Godwit plan grounded
Planned
site in
no-man’s
land
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Plans to put sculptures of
godwits in South New Brighton
are on hold because the
proposed site is in
“no-man’s land.”
The South Brighton Residents’
Association wants to put the
seven sculptures on the banks
near the south-eastern entrance
of the Bridge St bridge.
The association presented a
report to the Burwood-Pegasus
Community Board last week.
The board approved a
$3974.25 grant for Southshore
artist Bon Suter to begin work
on the seven godwits, and ringfenced
a further $8000 for the
project until a location had been
decided upon.
Godwits are wading birds that
visit the eastern suburbs every
year, travelling long distances
to get here in time for summer.
They live in Alaska before
undertaking a record non-stop

migratory flight south to New
Zealand’s coastline.
But city council staff told the
board members that after extensive
research, it was found that
the land didn’t belong to Land
Information New Zealand, the
city council, or the Crown.
The land is classed as a common
marine coastal area, and
therefore “doesn’t belong to
anyone.”
City council’s community
development adviser Heather
Davies said the
residents’ association
would have
to find somewhere
else to install the
artwork.
“The land . . . is
incapable of being
owned. I’ve spoken to the South
Brighton Residents’ Association
and have suggested that they
relocate to a different space .
. . they have no right to put it
there,” she said.
But association chairman Hugo
Kristinsson (left) said he will
continue to push for the sculptures
to be installed near the bridge.
“It’s the most desirable spot,
but if that’s not an option we
will have to think about others.
If it’s put in no man’s land and
it’s not a nuisance, who would
challenge it? I’d like to see if
anyone has objections to us using
that land,” he said.
Mr Kristinsson said he has
considered having the sculptures
installed alongside the ‘welcome
to South New Brighton’ sign.
“That’s one of the options
that has been identified, but the
thing is it would look really nice
where we had initially planned
for it, so we will pursue that,”
he said.

think the sculptures should
be installed in no-man’s land?

Long wait for proposed
Waitikiri playground
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
A playground that was first
proposed for Waitikiri Square
in February last year, won’t be
installed until this Christmas.
The Waitikiri Square
Landscape Plan, including
the installation of playground
equipment, trees, a football
goal, and seating went up
for public consultation last
February.
But the city council says it is
still in the detailed design stage,
and the projected end date “is
Christmas this year.”
City council’s head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said the
community shouldn’t worry, as
the budget that was talked about
well over a year ago is still safe.
“Funding is available for
the installation of the play
equipment, picnic table, park
bench and post and bollard
fence in (this) financial year,
following annual plan approval.
$137,000 has been set aside for
this project,” he said.
Mr Rutledge said construction
estimates for the playground are
still the same as they were during
the consultation process.
The park will be bordered by
Waitikiri Square and Bluestone
Drive, in the Waitikiri subdivision
in Marshland.
Waitikiri Residents’ Association
chairman Rod Miller said
people should be getting more
for the rates they’re paying.
“We do want
to see it at the
end of the year
but I mean we
could’ve said
that this time
last year. We are
looking forward to seeing it, but
it is taking a long time,” he said.
Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board member Linda Stewart
(left) said the concept plan for
the playground did not meet the
expectations of residents.
“It just doesn’t meet the
expectations set by the
residents. It’s a measly budget,
and it’s not living up to what the
developers had planned either,”
she said.
MEDICAL CENTRE
CAR PARK SUPPORT
Travis Medical Centre’s Dr
Sue French has asked the
Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board to support them in
lobbying to keep their car
park. The lease on the car
park could be in jeopardy if
the QE II Park land sale deal
is confirmed. The Ministry of
Education has signalled it may
want the land where the car
park is situated. Community
board chairwoman Andrea
Cummings told Dr French that
during the ongoing hearings
process, the board cannot
support the medical centre
until a decision has been made
either way. She said after a
decision had been made the
board would reconvene to
make a decision.

your local Views
Readers respond to the
Pegasus Post article on the
fireworks display being moved
away from New Brighton for
the next two years:
Paul Jennings: I have read
about the fireworks being
canned from the pier until
repairs are complete. I think
Hagley Park would be a better
place than Scarborough.
Think about the traffic. There
is only one way in and out of
Scarborough. Hagley Park is
more central for all.
Louise Macdonald: If we lose
the fireworks to somewhere
else, for example Sumner, we
definitely won’t see the venue
back in New Brighton. Also
has anyone thought of the oneway
road into Sumner, on Guy
Fawkes night? It would be a
nightmare for parents taking
their families on the night of
November 5.
Can you imagine the chaos
on the road into, and back out,
especially in the dark? And
don’t forget November 5 doesn’t
always fall on a Saturday night,
so children have to be back to
school the next morning, and if
it’s late, then hitting one-way
traffic out of Sumner could
mean they don’t get back home
until after 11pm.
It is bad enough driving home

out of New Brighton – I know
because one year our family
went up from South Brighton
to New Brighton, and when
the fireworks finished, it took
an hour or more to get back to
South Brighton, with all the
traffic. So from then on we
just go over to the beach and
watched from there.
New Brighton certainly
doesn’t need to lose any venues,
it’s already suffering through
lack of shops. Compared that
to what it was like in its hay
day. I agree with Tim Sintes’
comment, “promises have a
habit of being broken around
here” – meaning New Brighton.
So true.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE
RISK MANAGEMENT
OFFICER
Only about 30 per cent of the
calls we attend now actually
involve fires. The other 70 per
cent includes false alarms, car
crashes, hazardous substance
incidents and medical
emergencies where we provide
manpower with first aid skill
to back up the experts from St
John.
Some of our work does not
neatly fit into any of the normal
categories. An elderly caller last
Thursday had knocked a cushion
that had fallen down the side
of her hot water cylinder. She
wondered if it was a fire risk. It
probably wasn’t. But St Albans
Red Watch crew went to her
house and retrieved the cushion
which almost certainly saved her
days and nights of worry.
We also saw the Wainoni crew
travelling to Collingwood St in
New Brighton the same day to a
child who had managed to trap
their leg in a gate. All the efforts
of the locals were to no avail. A
tool known as a hooligan bar,
a kind of short crowbar, was
utilised by the crew to bend the
railings enough to release the

trapped leg.
There were a couple of
potentially serious fires in the
week. Both were of a suspicious
nature. A camper van at the back
of a vehicle dealer in St Asaph
St was set alight and destroyed
recently and on Wednesday
night, fireworks were apparently
utilised to ignite a fire on the
Port Hills that was visible across
the city.
I’m sure police would
appreciate any information
that might identify either set of
culprits.

‘Risky’ alleyways a concern
Residents worry over Haeata student safety
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Avondale and Wainoni residents
are concerned that when Haeata
Community Campus opens next
year, students will be unsafe
walking home from late-night
events, due to a number of
“dangerous” alleyways.
The opening of Haeata will see
the closure of Avondale, Wainoni,
Aranui Primary, and Aranui High
Schools, and is only three terms
away from opening its doors.
But concerns have been raised
over the safety of students
attending Haeata, who would walk
to and from the school, and use
these alleyways.
At a recent Active and Passenger
Transport Working Group meeting,
the concerns were raised by
Living Streets spokeswoman Meg
Christie.
Mrs Christie said that in daylight
hours residents living around the alleyways
didn’t think it was risky using
them, but in the night and early
morning, they saw a risk involved.
“It’s the moving around to
rugby training or church events or
something that is the problem. If
students are walking or cycling to
and from their after-school events,
they need to feel safe,” she said.
In the Avondale-Wainoni
suburbs, six alleyways have been
named as needing more lighting,
some back onto parks, and most
are in residential areas.
The alleyways of concern are
between Mervyn Drive and Woolley
St, Pembroke St and Emlyn
Pl, Wainoni Rd and Aldershot St,
Ben Rarere Ave and Aldershot St,
Ventor and Corhampton Sts, and
Meon and Warblington Sts.
Mrs Christie said a lot of residents
said they wouldn’t feel safe
walking down certain alleyways,
and wouldn’t recommend others
to either.
“The neighbours said ‘we don’t
want to encourage people to walk
down there’. They said it’s really
scary at night. They lived there
and felt it wasn’t safe,” she said.
Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board member Tim Baker said he
was fully supportive of the alleyways
receiving more lighting.

ALLEGED ASSAULT
A man suffered moderate
injuries after he was allegedly
assaulted last week in New
Brighton. St John sent an
ambulance to the incident, on
Marine Parade, at about 7.30pm
last Tuesday. The man, in his
50s, was taken to hospital.
ROAD REPAIRS
From today Travis Rd, between
Blue Gum Place and Atlantis
St, will be closed for Stronger
Christchurch Infrastructure
Rebuild Team wastewater, storm
water and road repairs. This
is expected to take about two
months. Traffic will be diverted
around the site using the former
QE II slip road. Meanwhile,
traffic going east towards The
Palms Shopping Centre is being
detoured, because of culvert
repairs. Traffic management is
scheduled to be uplifted by late
May. Work will be undertaken at
night on North Parade, between
Banks Ave and Randall St, and
is due to finish early this week.
SPEED BUMP NOT NEEDED
A speed bump will not be
installed on Saltaire St, North
New Brighton, after a report
by city council staff told a
community board there was no
need for one. The report was
heard at last week’s Burwood-
Pegasus Community Board
meeting, and said the estimated
cost of installing a speed bump
on the street would be more than
$30,000.
BREAST CANCER CAMPAIGN
Customers visiting their local
Robert Harris café throughout
May can order off the menu

School space draws interest
from community groups
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Help for the Homeless is one of
more than 50 community groups
that has registered its interest
in the use of a classroom at the
former Central New Brighton
School.
Central New Brighton, along
with Freeville and North New
Brighton schools were merged to
make way for Rawhiti School at
the end of last year.
ReNew Brighton has volunteered
to help line up the use of
the former school site with the
best wishes of the community.
The site has been split up into
three sections. The hall, the pool,
and the school sites.
ReNew Brighton co-ordinator
Sylvia Smyth said the hall site
has not seen any changes, and
is currently being used by the
Christchurch Circus Trust.
Meanwhile, a decision to
demolish the pool site is being
lobbied by the Strategic Urban
Rejuvenation Force, after it
was announced without public
consultation.
Ms Smyth said this has left the
school site, which contains nine
usable classrooms, up for community
use.
COMMUNITY USE: The former Central New Brighton School site is
currently being negotiated for community use by ReNew Brighton.
“We don’t know
how long we will
have this (site) for.
The school has
gone to the disposal
process, which
is what happens
when the Ministry of Education
doesn’t need the school anymore,
and they’re in the process
of getting rid of it,” she said.
Help for the Homeless founder
Amy Burke (above) said the group
is “very interested” in using one of
the classrooms for storage.
“We are very interested in the
site. We’re hoping for it, because
then we can get a new space for
storing furniture, although we
haven’t been in contact with the
organisers since then,” she said.
She said getting a classroom for
storage would “make things really
easy”, because furniture currently
has to be placed all over town.
Ms Smyth said ReNew
Brighton will continue
negotiations with the Ministry of
Education.
“There was a huge variety of
ideas and among that a strong art
theme. We don’t know how we
will operate just yet . . . we’re
at the point now that we’ve said
we’ll continue lease negotiations
with the ministry,” she said.
Owners just happy
parakeet is alive
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
A family who lost their parakeet
two years ago have been
reunited with their feathery
friend, but they won’t take him
back home, they’re just happy
to see he’s alive.
Pegasus Post
reported last
week that a parakeet
had made
itself at home in
a Burwood resident’s
trees.
A Shirley resident
contacted
the Pegasus
Post to say she
thought the
bird could be
her “best fiend”
Tweety Bird,
who she lost two
years before.
Shahna Hira said she lost
her pet parakeet two years ago
when it managed to escape
outside and fly away.
“We did post things on Facebook
and Trade Me and tracked
him for a month after he flew
away. We went to all the locations
that people had said they’d
seen him, but couldn’t find
him,” she said.
But, after reading last week’s
article, Ms Hira was convinced
that Tweety Bird had reappeared
at Burwood residents
Roger and Veronica Foley’s
house. She made contact with
the couple, who
have had the
parakeet visit them
every day since
they moved in last
year.
Ms Hira said
she visited the
Foleys twice to
have a look at the
parakeet, and was
“certain” it was
the same bird she
had lost two years
before.
But she said as
much as she wanted
to catch Tweety
Bird and take him home, she
knew she had to leave him.
“As much as we’d love to
have caught him and taken him
home, we’re just happy to know
he’s happy, and happy to know
he’s being looked after. I will be
visiting him but it’s never going
to be about us trying to catch

Colin Wood
Pastor with a sense of adventure
Newly-appointed
Parklands Baptist
Community Church
pastor Colin Wood
talks to Fraser Walker-
Pearce about how he
proposed long distance
to his wife of 25 years,
why his body doesn’t
bounce like it used to,
and why he chose to
work in Parklands.
Hi Colin, when did you come
to Parklands, and why?
I started at Parklands Baptist
Community Church the week
before Easter, and what brought
me out here was, after pastoring
in other places, I found they
had a really strong community
connection. Part of me wanted
to become a pastor in a really
interesting community.
So it was the community
connection that drew you in?
It has a really strong community
connection. We had
friends who went through the
earthquake and we really wanted
to be here, but obviously at the
same time I didn’t want to be
here. The church is very involved
in community. I can’t
give you exact numbers but it’s
an astonishing number of people
coming through every week.
There is a craft group, a move
and groove group for toddlers,
babies groups, and they show
movies. They’re really very
involved. It was very attractive
for me.
Where were you in 2011?
I was in Invercargill, working
with the Invercargill Central
Baptist Church in 2011. When
the earthquake rolled around,
the Parklands church really did
very well. They opened up their
building, became an earthquake
support area for the community
and ran meals for everyone for
about six weeks. I wasn’t here
for it but I have heard from people
around the area who say: ‘Oh
Previously

COMMUNITY LEADER: Colin and Linda Wood have recently moved to the eastern suburbs from Invercargill,
and Colin is the new pastor of the Parklands Baptist Community Church.
yes, I’ve had a meal there’ or
something like that, about their
experiences with the church.
Wow, sounds like you’ve
picked the right one. Where
did you train to become a pastor?
I trained at Carey College and
also the University of Auckland.
So I have a bachelor in theology,
and have pastored in Ilam for
eight years and another eight in
Invercargill before that.
And what did you do before
that?
Well this is where it gets interesting.
I actually spent four years
in Hong Kong and helped drug
addicts for some of that.
Well I wasn’t expecting that
answer. How did you help
them?
It was astonishing, and probably
one of the reasons I’ve ended
up working as a pastor, is seeing
a number of people change their
lives. My background is with
computers, and although computers
are great, it’s even better
seeing people change their lives
for good, it’s just magnificent.
So did you go over there
specifically to work with drug
addicts?
I went over to work with
computers, and wanted to see if
I could live in another culture. I
got involved with a church that
was working specifically with
heroin addicts. After we’d been
involved with the church for a
few years, full-time, we began
running houses that housed recovering
addicts. And that would
probably have been for 24 hours
a day, six days a week.
So it was a successful exercise?
A lot of those guys have overcome
that now and they have
lives now, it’s just fantastic. We
do keep in touch with a few and
they’re doing well, from what
looked like dead-end stories, have
now got lives and they’re out
making a difference. That was for
two years full-time, and a year
and a half were volunteering.
So if you were volunteering
did you have to have a job
there too?
When we first got there I
worked with computers, and
my wife worked as a nurse, and
is now a district nurse here in
Christchurch. But we actually
lived off our savings back then. I
think it was in the mid-90s.
So how old does that make
you now?
Hmm . . . let’s just say I’m in
my 50s.
Okay fair enough. Where did
you meet your wife?
I met my wife in Wellington.
Fly Direct to Fiji
Children Fly, Stay & Eat From $199. * Limited to the first 70 children.
No, it wasn’t love at first sight
(laughs) – love is a process.
When I left to go to Hong Kong
I actually called her from my
hotel in Boston (during a stopover)
and I proposed to her over
the phone, while she was back in
Wellington.
What – really?
I missed the engagement party
and everything – don’t do it the
way I did. I guess you could say
I came to my senses right then
and there, and have not regretted
it ever since. We’ve now been
married 25 years.
Do you have any children?
Yes, I have two daughters.
They’re both university age. One
is at Canterbury and one is in
Dunedin, they’re both studying.
And what do you do in your
spare time?
Well I surf . . . badly. I’m a
bit of an old fogey, so I have a
longboard, but my friend has
leant me a shortboard so I will
be trying out the shortboard
soon. I’m really enjoying riding
the mountain bike around Bottle
Lake Forest as well. And I’m
also an old school whitewater
kayaker, which I don’t do as
much anymore unfortunately,
and I also play guitar.
Would you say you like extreme
sports?
I actually skateboard to church
sometimes. It’s just such a fun
thing to do. It’s just really good
getting some exercise. But I’m
too old to get into the really extreme
sports, I don’t take it down
hills, you become aware that
once you’re past 50 your body
doesn’t bounce like it used to.
Where were you born?
I grew up in Christchurch on
the Port Hills, from about age
seven upwards. I wasn’t born
here, I was born in Australia.
Oh no, not an Aussie-born
Kiwi?
I won’t respond to what rugby
team I support (laughs). I have a
New Zealand passport but I was
born in Manly.
What schools did you attend?
I went to Cashmere Primary
and Cashmere High after that.

Singing and signing
Buddy classes at Banks Avenue School last week had a ‘singing and
signing’ lesson. The school celebrated New Zealand Sign Language
Week by learning letters and words from a pupil who has cochlear
implants, with the help of her mother. Natalia and mother Liz
Kay taught junior and senior buddy classes a fun way of learning
sign language, through singing and dancing. New Zealand Sign
Language Week started yesterday and runs until Sunday.
EXCITED: These Rawhiti School
pupils were among hundreds
from South New Brighton and
Rawhiti schools who will count
down the sleeps until they watch
the Warriors take on the Penrith
Panthers. Last week nearly 500
pupils and parents were handed
tickets to attend the National
Rugby League match thanks to
the generosity of a number of
local businesses. The Panthers will
visit both schools on Thursday in
the lead-up to the Saturday clash
at AMI Stadium.
New equipment, facilities
welcome back Marshland pupils
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Marshland School pupils came
back after the holidays to find
they had a whole range of new
equipment, a cricket pitch, and
more seating for lunchtime.
They were all installed at the
school during the holiday
break.
Principal Jacqui Pascoe
said the pupils have spent
their morning tea and
lunch breaks testing out
the new equipment all
week.
“The children, teachers
and parents at Marshland
are all very excited to have
the new equipment,” she
said.
The pupils have also been
training for their upcoming
cross-country event, which will
be the first at the new site.
Mrs Pascoe said the new track
will be testing for the pupils.
“At the new school, the crosscountry
track is much more
interesting with mounds for the
children to
run up and down,” she said.
In addition to the pupils coming
back from their holiday
break, Mrs Pascoe said the second
stage of development to the
school is about to begin.
“(Stage two) will
consist of a new learning
hub and da Vinci
making space for our
intermediate students,
and a learning hub
for a group of students
from Ferndale
School,” she said.
She said the da
Vinci space will be
where pupils can
design, create and
collaborate on new ideas using
technology.
PLAY TIME: New playground equipment at Marshland School has seen
the kids outside testing it out for the past week.

The power
of community
Orion is privileged to
have been associated
with Community Energy
Action (CEA) for more
than twenty years.
CEA is a charitable
trust that provides
insulation and energy
advice services to
the most vulnerable
in our community
with the overriding
objective of creating
warmer, healthier
and more energy
efficient homes.
Results of the Healthy
Homes Project, a recent
study undertaken by the
Canterbury District Health
Board and CEA, shows a
direct correlation between
insulated homes and a
reduction in hospital bed
days by up to 30%.
Working in a collaborative
partnership with CEA has
enabled a great deal to
be achieved where it is
most needed.

Many benefits from insulating homes
HEALTHY: A workman installing insulation under the floor of a
Canterbury home.
A successful partnership
between community, health
and commercial organisations
has helped save Canterbury
DHB nearly $1m, by providing
insulation and/or heating to high
health needs patients.
As well as reducing hospital
costs, it has also assisted in ensuring
people can remain in their
own homes.
In 2011, a Healthy Homes programme
was created between the
Canterbury DHB and the three
Canterbury primary health care
organisations, Community Energy
Action, Environment Canterbury
and the Energy Efficiency
Conservation Authority. Orion
and MainPower also contributed
funding into this programme.
The programme was developed
to keep people in their own
homes and communities rather
than using hospital services. This
recognised Canterbury’s compromised
housing stock following
the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
The Canterbury DHB and partnering
organisations understood
the potential benefits for frequent
users of the health system of living
in warm and dry homes, including
improved physical and
mental health.
The programme initially focused
on people who had been in
the Christchurch Hospital at least
twice within a year prior to the
programme starting (defined as
being the highest-needs patients).
In July 2013, the programme was
extended to include general practice
patients, for example families
with children under 17 years
of age identified as being at risk
and parents with newborn babies.
The programme ran from 2011
to late 2014 and the whole programme
provided over 1500 insulation
installations and 450
heating appliances. Partnerships
amongst the organisations meant
many Healthy Homes’ clients
were referred to other organisations
and services, as additional
needs were identified.
A qualitative report was completed
by Pegasus Health in June
2015 on the whole programme.
Canterbury DHB invested
$1.7m over 2.5 years between
2011 and 2014, covering 22 per
cent of the total programme costs.
Around half of the $1.7m invested
went towards intervention
costs for the 900 highest-needs
patients, as defined above. The
remaining partnering organisations
covered the balance of the
total costs. Of those 900 highest-need
patients, a significant
number of them were aged over
65. There was an approximately
60 per cent/40 per cent split between
home owners and tenants.
After reviewing the health
data, comparing the year prior
to the interventions with the year
following, the findings showed a
29.2 per cent reduction in hospital
bed days of those 900 patients.
This equates to a reduction of
five bed days per annum, a cost
saving to the Canterbury DHB of
nearly $1m.
“This means the programme
was extremely successful for the
community and all involved including
the Canterbury DHB,”
says Caroline Shone, chief executive
of CEA.
“Whilst the cost for insulation
and heating is a one-off, the
benefits last for years. I’m sure
for the Canterbury DHB the return
on investment can be spent
on other health needs. This programme
was a first for CEA and
the other organisations involved,
I am really happy that we have
helped so many people working
in partnership with Government,
private and public sector organisations.”
Greg Hamilton from the Canterbury
DHB said he was “delighted
with the results.”
David Meates, CEO of Canterbury
DHB said: “This is just
brilliant to see the hard evidence
being brought to life.”
The above analysis only takes
into account one of a number of
benefits (hospitalisation) which
result from improving a home’s
insulation. There are other considerable
benefits to this programme
including:
Hospital benefits after the first
12 months – a single intervention
has a 40-year life span taking into
account the life of the insulation;
benefits to partners, children and
others living in the same dwelling;
benefits to future occupants;
reduction in other primary and
community services required for
intensive post-discharge rehabilitation;
reduction in absenteeism
from work/school for all home
occupants due to improved overall
health; people living in their
own homes with better wellbeing
and feeling safer; and empowerment
through improved physical
health, mental health and/
or an improved general state of
mind/well-being; establishment
of other successful working relationships
with a range of organisations,
with a focus to assist
vulnerable families.
To date, EECA has provided
approximately $450m worth of
subsidies for insulation nationwide
through their programmes,
including Warm Up New Zealand.
The Healthy Home Programme
analysis shows the need to continue
with programmes such as
these, particularly when EECA
and CEA through their own surveys,
have identified that there
are still over 30,000 low income
family homes in Canterbury
alone, with inadequate or no insulation.
There have been other relevant
New Zealand studies and discussions
over the years around the
need to improve housing quality
and the associated health benefits.

Trying out the trombone at Try an Instrument Day
UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra in rehearsal
CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOL OF MUSIC
2015 was a really busy year for the
Christchurch school of Music with lots of
exciting things happening. In september
the school celebrated its Diamond Jubilee
– 60 years of providing excellent music
tuition and ensemble opportunities to
thousands of Cantabrians.
Other highlights of 2015 were working
with G&a Creative to develop a new
website, logo and brand for the school and
the signing of a sponsorship arrangement
with the University of Canterbury for our
flagship orchestra, now known as the UC
Christchurch Youth Orchestra.
Most exciting of all, in December, the
school moved back home onto the site of
the old Music Centre. with the support
of the Catholic Diocese, the school is
housed in four portable buildings on
the site adjacent to Catholic Cathedral
College where all the instrumental and
voice teaching takes place on a saturday
morning and after school. The buildings
will officially open on Friday 13 May
with a celebration to say thank-you to
all the organisations that have supported
us to get to this stage. Many hours of
work have gone into fitting out the new
buildings with furniture, shelving, storage
and teaching materials to ensure it is a
friendly, welcoming and efficient place
for the school to operate from. Particular
thanks to Creative New Zealand and Rata
Foundation who have provided financial
support for the fit out
so along with its new branding, a new
user-friendly website and a great new
place to call home the CsM is in good
heart and enjoying a fantastic year of
music making in 2016.
From pre-schoolers to septuagenarians,
the CsM caters for a wide range of ages
and musical styles offering opportunities
for group or individual tuition in all
instruments and an ensemble to suit
everyone. with orchestras, choirs, jazz
and rock bands, world music ensembles,
wind ensembles and concert bands every
taste is catered for. all ensembles take part
in regular concerts including saturday
soirees and the popular annual showcase
Concert, which will be held this year in

Tips to improve your running
Running should be as easy as
putting one foot in front of the other
right? Anyone can run, but having good
technique can make it feel so much
easier.
good running technique will make
your runs feel less tiring, reduce
your risk of injury, and ultimately
be more enjoyable. Muscle People
Physiotherapists specialise in assessing
and improving running technique
whether you are a competitive runner or
just running for fun.
start getting better now with these basic
tips:
POSTURE
• Keep your head straight
look straight ahead of you, about 30-40
metres out in front and avoid looking
down at your feet. looking down will
create tension in your neck and shoulders.
• shoulders back and down
Your shoulders should be back and down
not up by your ears. Keep them relaxed
and avoid tensing them. don’t hunch
over as this restricts breathing.
• Keep your elbows at 90 degrees
Your elbows should be bent at a 90 degree
angle. Try to swing your arms forward
and back, not across your body. This arm
movement helps to propel you forward.
Your hands should be relaxed, but don’t
let them flop. Tight hands can cause
tension all the way up to the back and
shoulders.
• solid core
Focus on keeping your core (trunk) firm,
though not rigid, and straight and your

• For regular runners - run

hips and shoulders level and relaxed.
Keeping this position in your hips can
help prevent low back and hip pain.
FOOT STRIKE AND LEG POSITION
• don’t strike the ground too heavily
good running is light and quiet. You
should land in the middle of your foot
with a slightly bent knee. Whatever your
weight, your feet should not slap loudly
as they hit the ground. light steps are
more efficient and cause less stress to the
body and landing on the middle of your
foot is the safest way to land for most
recreational runners.
That’s the basics but there’s always more
we can do to help. Try these:
RUNFIT – The technical edge
Muscle People Physiotherapy &
the YMCA gym have a running
group in hagley Park – RunFit, led
by a Physiotherapist and Canterbury
competitive runner, and a Personal
Trainer from the YMCA gym. RunFit
focuses on running technique which
is vital to improving speed, reducing
injuries and making running more
enjoyable for both regular runners
and the beginner. RunFit is ideal for
regular runners who are looking to
challenge themselves, as well as the
beginning runner who wants to start
with good technique and the guidance of
professionals.
diane and Celia have recently
completed a RunFit programme had this
to say:
diane, from st Martins “i’ve had
Call us today on 961 0236
Muscle People Physiotherapy clinics
in the Central City and Bishopdale
three calf injuries in the last 18 months
and i wanted to make sure my running
technique wasn’t contributing to that.
over the course of the RunFit programme
i improved my technique, got faster and
i’m injury free. My training plan is on
track for my first marathon in June.”
Celia, works in sydenham, “RunFit is
the perfect combination of running drills,
core strength and running and i enjoyed
the variety. The core strength training
has helped with my tennis and posture
and i’ve learnt a lot about running form
to help with training in my solo sessions.
The physiotherapist and personal
trainer are fantastic and work really well
together, their on-hand knowledge is
invaluable. The small group environment
is very encouraging and works for all
abilities. i highly recommend RunFit - in
fact i’ve just signed up for more!”

A solid choice for smart buyers
2/57 Withells Rd, Avonhead
Auction: May 19, 2016
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 dining room | 1 living room | 2 car-garage | Listing #: PI42934
Invest your hard-earned money with
confidence: this townhouse ticks all the
boxes for great real estate. Start with the
security of permanent materials – clad in
timeless brick with aluminium joinery, this is a
home that will retain its classic good looks with
the minimum of maintenance.
Add in good proportions that will suit many
– three light, bright bedrooms (master with en
suite bathroom) and a separate lounge adjacent
to the open-plan kitchen and dining area will
appeal to families, couples or investors. An
aspect that ensures the home soaks up sunlight
throughout the day and an easy flow from
indoor living spaces to the sunny and secure
garden will keep entertainers, children and pets
equally happy. The convenience of a double
internal-access garage plus additional off-street
parking adds further practical appeal.
A very sought-after location underpins the
value of this investment: handy to schools and
shops, family-friendly and standing on solid
TC1 land. Presented in immaculate condition,
this is a home you can move straight into or
rent out from day one, but astute buyers will
realise there is plenty of potential here for those
wanting to enhance the property and further
capitalise on their investment.
The vendors have already purchased their
next property so 2/57 Withells Road is very
definitely for sale on or before auction day.
Open Homes: Saturday and Sunday, 2pm
to 2.30pm.

viewing, contact Cameron Bailey of Harcourts
