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 

ARTWORK: A concept of what the sculptures would look like near the Bridge St bridge, South New Brighton. 

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. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you 

think the sculptures should 

be installed in no-man’s land?

them installed? Email fraser.

Long wait for proposed 

Waitikiri playground 


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 


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

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 


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. 


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 

and 10 per cent of their meal 

purchase will be donated to the 

New Zealand Breast Cancer 

Foundation’s Pink Ribbon 

Appeal. The company is aiming 

to raise $100,000 by the end of 

the campaign.

School space draws interest 

from community groups 


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 


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 

him,” she said.

PEGASUS POST 

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 

United Travel 

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 


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. 

oriongroup.co.nz


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.

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 

the beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal. Recitals 

where individuals can perform are also

Trying out the tuba at Try an Instrument Day 

held regularly. 

CsM also provides a comprehensive 

music education to participating primary 

schools via its Outreach programmes. 

with programmes offered in band, 

strings, recorder and ukulele in a wide 

range of Christchurch schools this is an 

area of the school, which has grown fast 

over the last few years. 

another area that has grown rapidly 

over the last few years is the Late starters 

programme thanks to the great work of 

well-known Cantabrian and CsM alumni 

Mark walton. adults approaching 

retirement with more time on their 

hands have really enjoyed learning an 

instrument they never had the chance 

to play in their early years and join an 

ensemble with other like-minded adults. 

short courses are offered in subjects 

such as theory and aural perception and 

the school strives to meet the needs of 

our students and families in every way we 

can. 

The Christchurch school of Music was 

established in 1955 by Robert Perks, MBE, 

to provide an education in instrumental 

music for primary schools. since then the 

school has extended it activities to include 

students of all ages and has also added 

vocal lessons and choral opportunities. 

as well as our opening there are some 

important events coming up. 

On 21 May, the UC Christchurch Youth 

Orchestra will present its first concert 

of the year under the baton of new 

conductor, Helen Renaud at the Charles 

Luney auditorium at st Margaret’s 

College starting at 7.30pm. The concert is 

titled “Metamorphosis” and will feature 

works by sparke, Vaughan williams, 

Hindemith, Brahms and Rossini. Tickets 

are available through Eventfinda and 

there will also be door sales. 

The CsM also has two Kidsfest events 

in the July holidays. The Composer is 

Dead by Lemony snicket is a really good 

fun, engaging concert that will teach the 

children all about the instruments of the 

orchestra and is being held on Tuesday 

12 July at 11.30am and 1.00pm in the 

Charles Luney auditorium Tickets will 

be available through Dash ticketing from 

the beginning of June. 

If you have always wanted to play an 

instrument but you’re not sure which 

one or you want to give your children a 

chance to have a go on all the instruments 

to help them decide, come along to our 

popular and free Try an Instrument Day 

on Tuesday 19 July from 11am-1pm in 

the Hall at Catholic Cathedral College. 

You will get to hear the experts playing 

the instruments and then have a go 

yourself. Heaps of fun guaranteed and 

a great opportunity to find out what 

instrument really appeals. we look 

forward to seeing you.

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

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

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.
