Group receives $150,000<br />

to repair church floor<br />

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

AN earthquake-damaged<br />

church in South New Brighton<br />

can now be turned into a<br />

community hub after more than<br />

2000 people voted for it to get<br />

vital repairs.<br />

Over 18 months Te Waka<br />

Aroha South Brighton, a<br />

community organisation,<br />

will turn the Bridge St Baptist<br />

Church into not only a hub, but<br />

also a cafe and performing arts<br />

stage.<br />

It was made possible after<br />

it won a competition run by<br />

SmartLift, a relevelling specialist<br />

company, which is offering up<br />

to $150,000 of repairs to the<br />

church’s floor.<br />

Te Waka Aroha won after<br />

more than 2000 people voted<br />

on Facebook for the group to<br />

receive the money. It is based at<br />

the South Brighton Community<br />

Centre.<br />

The church was closed after<br />

the February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

For Te Waka Aroha volunteer<br />

Jane Harrison it was a long night<br />

on Tuesday as she watched the<br />

votes. She fell asleep, before<br />

learning the group had won.<br />

“We received over 2200<br />

votes for us, when there’s only<br />

UPGRADE: The Bridge St Baptist Church will get a new floor thanks to SmartLift.<br />

1500 households in South New<br />

Brighton,” she said.<br />

Mrs Harrison said without<br />

the money, the project would be<br />

“completely unrealistic.”<br />

She said she knew the community<br />

wanted them to win<br />

when she looked at the number<br />

of votes they received.<br />

The next stage is to get working<br />

on consents with the city<br />

council, with an architect and<br />

project manager already on<br />

board, she said.<br />

“We want to run pop-up<br />

restaurants, cafes, make it<br />

somewhere to get something to<br />

eat and drink, have local bands<br />

on the big stage, we could have<br />

comedy nights and an open<br />

mic night, and adult education<br />

classes . . . the community has<br />

100 ideas, we just needed a place<br />

to do them,” she said.<br />

felt it more than most when the regional<br />

council shifted into its new Tuam St<br />

offices in April.<br />

Within the first two weeks, one<br />

person walked into the glass surround<br />

of the revolving door on the ground<br />

level, receiving a bruised temple<br />

and a headache.<br />

A second person walked into the glass<br />

balustrade on the ground floor stairs<br />

bruising their upper arm. Both were put<br />

on light duties for two days.<br />

ECan spokeswoman Katherine<br />

Boost for golf club<br />

• Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

RAWHITI GOLF Club has<br />

continued its amazing recovery<br />

from almost being shut down by<br />

the city council, by now being<br />

invited to host an international<br />

tournament.<br />

The club received an email<br />

recently proposing it be a host<br />

course for the Christchurch<br />

Casino Golden Oldies Sports<br />

Celebration 2018, to be held in<br />

the city.<br />

Rawhiti Golf Club president<br />

Mene Mene said the invitation<br />

was a credit to the whole club.<br />

“It’s quite exciting for the<br />

club, things are looking up for<br />

the east. After all the things<br />

that we went through to save<br />

the course, it’s now coming into<br />

fruition. I’m just so proud of the<br />

club, it is leading by example,”<br />

he said.<br />

Only a few years ago, the club<br />

was on the brink of being shut<br />

down by the city council, after<br />

posting a loss of nearly $200,000<br />

in 2014.<br />

But, thanks to smart financing<br />

by the club, it was given a 25-<br />

year lease by the city council to<br />

continue operating.<br />

Christchurch manager for the<br />

event, Mike Godinet said<br />

a “blanket letter” was sent to<br />

BIG CHANCE: Rawhiti Golf Club president Mene Mene<br />

received an invitation for the club to be a host course for an<br />

international tournament in 2018. ​<br />

all golf courses in the city, but<br />

they would only select the best<br />

four.<br />

“We have not made any decisions<br />

yet as to who will host,<br />

we’re speaking to them all.<br />

Maybe half a dozen clubs have<br />

returned the letter registering<br />

their interest, for the tournament<br />

in April 2018,” he said.<br />

Mr Mene said the tournament<br />

looks like it will be a big positive<br />

for the club, if it is selected.<br />

“It’s being held in Christchurch,<br />

and I’ve heard there’s<br />

about 500 golfers coming to the<br />

city for (the tournament),” he<br />

said.<br />

Mr Godinet said the event<br />

would draw thousands of visitors.<br />

“We’re looking at a minimum<br />

of 400 golfers, and probably<br />

12,000 people coming to watch,”<br />

he said.<br />

Other courses in the east that<br />

have been approached by Golden<br />

Oldies, are Avondale, Waitikiri,<br />

Christchurch, Waimairi Beach,<br />

and Bottle Lake.<br />

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON?: Father and son pair Oliver and<br />

Grant Stewart got involved with the recent Be Bald or Be<br />

Bold event. More than $10,000 was raised at the recent<br />

hair-raising event at The Palms Shopping Centre. The money<br />

raised will go towards funding University of Otago research<br />

into the genetics behind cancer. A group of mothers set up<br />

Research, Education and Awareness of Child Cancer and<br />

Hematology, or REACH, after their own children were diagnosed<br />

with cancer. The purpose of REACH is to raise funds<br />

for more research that will improve treatments and increase<br />

survival rates. REACH is calling for more research into targeted<br />

treatments, and is currently working with Professor<br />

Parry Guilford of Otago University.<br />

Major speed limit changes proposed<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

SPEED LIMIT changes proposed<br />

by the city council are trying<br />

to find the balance between<br />

pedestrians, cyclists and<br />

motorists according to a traffic<br />

expert.<br />

Every three years, speed limits<br />

on streets are reviewed, this year<br />

27 have been proposed to have<br />

lower limits installed.<br />

In March the speed limit<br />

for the heart of Christchurch’s<br />

CBD was changed to 30km/h to<br />

provide safer, more user-friendly<br />

and enjoyable ways for people to<br />

travel.<br />

Canterbury University traffic<br />

expert Alan Nicholson said while<br />

he supports the proposed changes<br />

in the city centre, the haste<br />

they are being pushed through<br />

could face a public backlash.<br />

“It is great to find a balance<br />

between pedestrians, cyclists and<br />

motorists but if you push cars<br />

out quickly from the city centre<br />

people could get irritated and not<br />

support it,” he said.<br />

He was also concerned about<br />

the drastic change to some speeds<br />

on roads in the wards.<br />

“Some of the speeds will go<br />

from 100km/h to 50km/h.<br />

They possibly should have been<br />

changed in the past now they<br />

have a drastic change,” he said.<br />

Twelve roads in the Riccarton-<br />

Waimairi Ward have been proposed<br />

to have lower speed limits,<br />

seven roads in the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi Ward,<br />

four in the Shirley-Papanui<br />

Ward, and one each in the<br />

Burwood-Pegasus and Hagley-<br />

Ferrymead Wards.<br />

Some of the roads proposed<br />

run between two wards and<br />

have been counted twice such as<br />

Pound Rd.<br />

These are mainly in new<br />

growth areas where the speed<br />

limit of a once rural road is no<br />

longer considered safe in expanding<br />

residential and commercial<br />

zones.<br />

The city council is also proposing<br />

to extend the inner-city<br />

30km/h limit, which came into<br />

effect on March 12, to include<br />

sections of St Asaph St and<br />

Hagley Ave.<br />

Riccarton-Wigram Community<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

said lowering the speed limit on<br />

those streets is what the public<br />

wants.<br />

“We welcome the triennial review<br />

of speed limits. We have identified<br />

some roads we think need<br />

to be addressed, so have the public<br />

and city council staff,” he said.<br />

Following the consultation<br />

process city council staff will<br />

consider all feedback and<br />

prepare a report for community<br />

boards who will make a<br />

recommendation to the city<br />

council who makes the final<br />

decision.<br />

The speed limit changes<br />

consultation runs from May 31<br />

to <strong>June</strong> 21 on the city council’s<br />

website under the Have Your Say<br />

page.<br />

FINDING THE BALANCE:<br />

The city council is proposing<br />

lower speed limits on roads<br />

all around the city to make<br />

it safer for all those who use<br />

them. Inset: Alan Nicholson<br />

Proposed road speed limit<br />

changes by ward:<br />

Riccarton-Wigram Ward<br />

- Avonhead Rd, Carrs<br />

Rd, Halswell Junction<br />

Rd, Jessons Rd, Marshs<br />

Rd, Murphys Rd, Owaka<br />

Rd, Pound Rd, Quifes Rd,<br />

Roberts Rd, Waterloo Rd,<br />

Whincops Rd, Wigram Rd<br />

and Wilmers Rd.<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi Ward<br />

- Grays Rd, McArthurs Rd,<br />

McLeans Island Rd, Pound<br />

Shirley-Papanui Ward<br />

- Belfast Rd, Blakes<br />

Engaging with young people<br />

Canterbury Youth Workers<br />

Collective co-ordinator<br />

Penny Prescott says<br />

for post-quake city to<br />

thrive there needs to be<br />

involvement from young<br />

people.<br />

A couple of weeks ago I was one<br />

of a handful of adults who got<br />

to attend a UNICEF Youth For<br />

Change Conference that was held<br />

here in Christchurch.<br />

A team of four young people<br />

put this event together and there<br />

were 70 other young people in<br />

attendance.<br />

including the Youth Advisory<br />

Group for a collaboration project<br />

I help out with called Child and<br />

Youth Friendly Christchurch.<br />

The YAG were there consulting<br />

with the participants about what<br />

they think it is that makes a city<br />

youth-friendly.<br />

An amazing example of young<br />

people providing a space for<br />

young people to consult with<br />

other young people about things<br />

important to them and our city.<br />

It would be great to see more of<br />

these events and more publicity<br />

of these events so all young people<br />

get a chance to attend.<br />

There’s a group in Christchurch<br />

called Youth Voice Canterbury<br />

who are a network of young<br />

people and youth participation<br />

groups.<br />

A few weeks ago they pulled<br />

a diverse group of young people<br />

together to chat with the city<br />

council senior staff and elected<br />

members about what’s important<br />

for youth in our city.<br />

It showed a real willingness by<br />

the city council to engage with<br />

young people, and those young<br />

people felt listened to and valued.<br />

Although this was well supported<br />

by the city council, it was<br />

pulled together and facilitated<br />

by young people who wanted to<br />

participate.<br />

These sorts of opportunities are<br />

valuable both for the people making<br />

decisions about Christchurch,<br />

but also for the positive development<br />

of our young people.<br />

At the moment Youth Voice<br />

Canterbury are organising the<br />

first Canterbury Youth Awards.<br />

Nominations closed earlier in<br />

the week with 81 nominations<br />

being received.<br />

The idea is to create a culture of<br />

celebrating young people.<br />

I think it would be fantastic<br />

to see this event and others like<br />

it promoted positively in media<br />

outlets for both the public and<br />

the youth of Christchurch.<br />

I understand that there are real<br />

issues for young people in our<br />

communities, and these need to<br />

be discussed and addressed. But<br />

what I want is for us to ensure<br />

that we’re spending just as much<br />

energy giving our young people<br />

opportunities and celebrating<br />

their successes, because the<br />

youth are the future of this city.<br />

If we want to see our great city<br />

continue to grow and to thrive<br />

post-quake, then we need to have<br />

involvement from those who will<br />

be there to grow it.<br />

If you have the technology,<br />

alarm.<br />

Although the technology has<br />

existed for several years, it has<br />

been expensive and complicated<br />

to install.<br />

Startup company Morepork’s<br />

goal is to make the technology<br />

accessible to anyone.<br />

Chief executive Gemma<br />

Croombs said its systems could<br />

be installed simply yourself,<br />

with simple plug in cameras<br />

and control panels and wireless<br />

alarms and sensors.<br />

“People have the perception<br />

IN YOUR HAND: Chief executive Gemma Croombs using<br />

the Morepork app, which allows you to remotely control<br />

your security system and home automation technology. ​<br />

you can only have them if<br />

you’re building and you can put<br />

cable all through your home,<br />

but it doesn’t have to be like that<br />

anymore.”<br />

The company, which was<br />

backed by Spark, launched in<br />

August last year, but she said<br />

the technology was already<br />

growing.<br />

“One of the things we’re testing<br />

at the moment is a smart<br />

door bell which sets up voice<br />

call, so if someone’s there to<br />

drop off a package you can say<br />

just drop off, don’t leave me to<br />

pick it up from the depot on my<br />

weekend. Or if you have a smart<br />

lock, you can just remotely open<br />

the door and let them in.”<br />

As new technology was developed,<br />

she said it could be added<br />

on to the same system.<br />

She plans to be at The Star<br />

Home & Leisure Show with her<br />

team, with several systems set<br />

up for people to play with there,<br />

and special deals on offer.<br />

In Brief<br />

QE II DECISION<br />

After a city council hearings panel<br />

recommended the sale of 11.5ha<br />

of QE II Park to the Ministry of<br />

Education, a community group is<br />

considering their options to put<br />

a stop to the sale. Christchurch<br />

Concerned Citizens chairman<br />

Garry House said the group is<br />

not pleased the city council plan<br />

to go ahead with the sale, in spite<br />

of “overwhelming evidence” that<br />

the land was meant to be used to<br />

be used for recreation, and not<br />

education.<br />

BURGLARIES SPIKE<br />

A large rise in the number of<br />

burglaries and family harm<br />

incidents has been seen by police<br />

around the Aranui and Wainoni<br />

areas. New Brighton police station<br />

Sergeant Dave Robertson said it<br />

is unusual to have the amount<br />

of burglaries that are currently<br />

being seen, at this time of year. He<br />

said burglaries and family harm<br />

incidents generally spike in July<br />

and August.<br />

WARMER HOMES<br />

The Community Energy Action<br />

Charitable Trust has hit their<br />

target of warming 250 homes,<br />

six months ahead of schedule.<br />

by New Zealand Red Cross and<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Star Media chairman receives honour<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

STAR MEDIA chairman Nick<br />

Smith has been recognised in<br />

the Queen’s Birthday Honours<br />

for more than 50 years work in<br />

media and sport.<br />

He was named an officer of<br />

the New Zealand Order of Merit<br />

yesterday.<br />

Mr Smith started work at the<br />

Christchurch Star in 1965, as an<br />

advertising cadet.<br />

“It was the heyday of newspapers.<br />

You weren’t competing for eyeballs.<br />

I spent two and a half years there,<br />

and it was fantastic. I still have a<br />

lot of friends from those days, we<br />

had a lot of fun together. We used<br />

to have boxing tournaments in the<br />

lunchroom,” he said.<br />

He went on to become a director<br />

of Allied Press, publisher<br />

of the Otago Daily Times, and<br />

chairman of CTV.<br />

Although he was a major<br />

shareholder, he said he stayed<br />

in the background at CTV<br />

for several years, leaving the<br />

running of the company to<br />

managing director Murray<br />

Wood.<br />

But when Mr Wood was killed<br />

in the collapse of the building in<br />

the February 2011 earthquake,<br />

Mr Smith said he was suddenly<br />

thrust into management of the<br />

station.<br />

He remembered the first meeting<br />

the day after the earthquake,<br />

sitting in a dark room without<br />

power talking about the future<br />

with his distraught staff.<br />

“It would have made more<br />

sense to take the insurance<br />

money and close the station, but<br />

to me that would mean we let the<br />

staff and the victims’ families<br />

down. That to me was the deciding<br />

factor.”<br />

He has also played a key<br />

role in sport over the years,<br />

helping to develop Hagley<br />

Park, form the University Oval<br />

Redevelopment Trust and raise<br />

$2 million to establish the first<br />

cricket ground in Dunedin.<br />

He has also sponsored and<br />

donated to many community<br />

groups and organisations<br />

working around the South<br />

Island.<br />

Our People<br />

Kim Morton<br />

Putting energy into creative projects<br />

Otautahi Creative<br />

Spaces Trust manager<br />

Kim Morton talks to<br />

Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

about reducing social<br />

isolation through art,<br />

training as a lawyer and<br />

her favourite place in<br />

the city<br />

Kim, tell me a bit about<br />

what you do for the Otautahi<br />

Creative Spaces Trust.<br />

I guess I lead the programme<br />

and we run art programmes. At<br />

the moment we run at Phillipstown<br />

and Aranui Libraries but<br />

we are looking to expand across<br />

the city into other community<br />

hubs. Our mission is using art to<br />

boost people’s wellbeing. We’re<br />

especially looking to work with<br />

people that have experienced<br />

mental illness, earthquake<br />

trauma and social isolation. We<br />

provide opportunities for people<br />

to connect with their community<br />

as well.<br />

How long has it been running?<br />

It’s been going for just over a<br />

year now, but we had a low profile<br />

for our first six months. But<br />

since the start of the year we’ve<br />

had quite a surge of interest in<br />

our programmes. We’re very<br />

excited because it means we need<br />

to expand them now, and we’re<br />

looking for support to do that.<br />

Where is the programme<br />

based?<br />

The base is Phillipstown<br />

Community Hub, in the old Phillipstown<br />

School, which closed at<br />

the end of 2014. We’re here along<br />

with a whole lot of other fantastic<br />

community initiatives. Aranui<br />

also presents a great opportunity<br />

because the team there is really<br />

passionate about serving their<br />

community. We know libraries are<br />

the living room of communities<br />

and people go there because they<br />

feel welcome and it’s a free space.<br />

And the feedback you’ve<br />

received has been positive?<br />

The feedback has been fantastic.<br />

What people love is that it’s participant<br />

driven, so artists choose<br />

the art forms they’re interested<br />

in, and they do that. The environment<br />

they’re in is without any<br />

pressure to produce, just heaps of<br />

encouragement. People have said<br />

it’s a really inspiring environment<br />

to be in. It’s not a structured class<br />

as such, anyone could be working<br />

on anything – like sculptures,<br />

printmaking, and calligraphy.<br />

Sometimes the participants will<br />

need encouragement and suggestions,<br />

but most people settle<br />

in to what they want to be doing.<br />

If someone’s stuck we help them<br />

though.<br />

Has the programme been successful<br />

for the artists?<br />

Some people have come in and<br />

worked in this space, and they’ve<br />

had work feature in national<br />

exhibitions. We’ve had three<br />

people gain scholarships through<br />

The Learning Connexion but<br />

also people are feeling like they<br />

have a sense of belonging to<br />

something creative and belonging<br />

to a new community. They’ve<br />

said they’ve made friends. And<br />

from that they’re more engaged<br />

in their community.<br />

Has this project been set up<br />

by the city council, or independently?<br />

It’s an independent community<br />

charitable trust. We have<br />

had great support from Creative<br />

New Zealand, the city council<br />

and the Rata Foundation. Not<br />

only that but we are finding that<br />

we are being given a lot of support<br />

in terms of art materials,<br />

which is a fabulous endorsement<br />

for the trust.<br />

How full are your classes?<br />

Funny you should say that actually,<br />

we have a waiting list for<br />

the Phillipstown groups. There’s<br />

currently a lot of work being<br />

done looking at whether a community<br />

hub could be set up in<br />

the closed Central New Brighton<br />

School, and we’re hoping we<br />

might be able to share a space in<br />

that facility.<br />

So how did this all come<br />

about?<br />

About 20 years ago I managed<br />

a community art space in<br />

Masterton and I’d been aware<br />

of the gap in Christchurch for<br />

some time, but it was only after<br />

the earthquakes that it kind of<br />

galvanised my energy and so I<br />

decided to kick-start something<br />

here. There’s a network of spaces<br />

like this around the country, so<br />

I had good relationships with<br />

EXCITED:<br />

Kim Morton<br />

is the<br />

manager<br />

of Otautahi<br />

Creative<br />

Spaces<br />

Trust, and<br />

teaches<br />

creative art<br />

classes.<br />

the people involved there and<br />

then we did some research which<br />

was funded by Creative New<br />

Zealand, and it looked at the<br />

need and how something should<br />

be set up here. It’s not something<br />

you can just transplant from one<br />

city to the other, Masterton is a<br />

small town. In post-earthquake<br />

Christchurch, opportunities to<br />

connect with others creatively in<br />

your local community seemed<br />

more important.<br />

How long have you been in<br />

Christchurch then?<br />

I’ve been here for 15 years,<br />

and was in Masterton before, for<br />

about three years, but I was born<br />

in Auckland. I’ve lived in lots of<br />

different places, but Christchurch<br />

is home now.<br />

Oh good to hear! Where are<br />

your favourite spots?<br />

My favourite in Christchurch<br />

is Taylors Mistake. But in New<br />

Zealand, it’d be the Cavalli<br />

Islands in Northland.<br />

Do you have any family down<br />

here?<br />

I have two boys, who are 17<br />

and 13. They keep me on my<br />

toes. They’re both at Hagley<br />

Community College, and they’re<br />

enjoying that. I’m not sure what<br />

they want to do, but as long as<br />

they do what they’re passionate<br />

about, I’m good with that.<br />

And where in the city are you<br />

guys based?<br />

We’re in Lyttelton. The kids<br />

love it because of the hills and<br />

the sea, and the great landscape.<br />

That’s a bit of a trek to work<br />

each day?<br />

Yes that’s a point, I don’t live in<br />

the communities I’m working in.<br />

That means that it’s even more<br />

important to have a strong relationship<br />

with the community.<br />

We’ve designed some projects<br />

that are around the identity and<br />

stories of Phillipstown – photography<br />

and poetry projects that<br />

combine with Ara Institute of<br />

Canterbury, and local residents,<br />

and what Phillipstown means for<br />

them. That’s only just started.<br />

Where did you go to school<br />

then?<br />

I went to school in Auckland,<br />

to Westlake Girls’ High School.<br />

It was just the one up the road<br />

from where we lived at the time.<br />

Did you ever have a mentor,<br />

or a big influence that taught<br />

you art?<br />

Some people do have an outstanding<br />

person in their life, but<br />

this is hard for me. I guess mine<br />

was Sue McBride, who was an<br />

outstanding art teacher. I really<br />

enjoyed art at school because of<br />

her, so that probably did sow the<br />

seed.<br />

What did you do after that?<br />

I’ve had quite a few different<br />

aspects of my work. One is in<br />

law, I trained for law, and didn’t<br />

know if I’d take it further after I<br />

studied it. I specialised in social<br />

justice and community law. And<br />

in a way there’s quite a connection<br />

between those studies and<br />

what I do now.<br />

And did you use the degree?<br />

Did you have any law jobs?<br />

Yes, I did. I guess it must have<br />

been 20 years on and off using<br />

it. The earthquakes made me<br />

question what I was doing, and<br />

I decided to put my energy into<br />

creativity and wellbeing projects.<br />

Life’s short, if I can make a difference,<br />

then I should. And for me<br />

it was around this idea of art and<br />

creativity in Christchurch that<br />

was the best way I could do that.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

Effective treatment<br />

for many types of pain<br />

Complementary medicine is<br />

becoming increasingly sought<br />

after in New Zealand as people<br />

become aware of the many<br />

different methods of treating pain and ill<br />

health that are available here.<br />

Christchurch-based Chinese health<br />

practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a<br />

method of treatment, which she says has<br />

as an immediate affect on a wide variety of<br />

pains and health conditions. It is known<br />

as ‘acupuncture without needles’.<br />

Lan describes it as being similar to<br />

reflexology in that the problem area on<br />

the body is determined through pressure,<br />

but is much more accurate.<br />

Trained as a medical practitioner in<br />

China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992<br />

and began practising acupuncture in<br />

1995. From that discipline she created her<br />

acupuncture without needles, and uses<br />

it to treat people of all ages with many<br />

different types of pain in all parts of the<br />

body. This can include arthritic pain, MS,<br />

and pain from injury.<br />

“For example, the treatment has been<br />

very successful for people who have<br />

painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan<br />

says.<br />

Acupuncture without needles is also<br />

effective in restoring energy levels,<br />

she says.<br />

“As people age their energy is reduced,<br />

and this can lead to other health<br />

problems. The acupuncture without<br />

needles treatment is like the body’s<br />

battery being charged up again, so their<br />

energy levels are restored, which in turn<br />

helps overcome their health problems.”<br />

Lan also uses it to treat depression<br />

and anxiety, and says it can help with<br />

addiction problems as well.<br />

“After the treatment the person has no<br />

cravings – because it treats the cause of<br />

the addiction.”<br />

She says the results are immediate,<br />

though people may need several<br />

treatments, depending on the extent<br />

of their health problem, and while it<br />

is slightly painful for few moments,<br />

everyone can tolerate it.<br />

Lan Xiao’s website, www.<br />

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes<br />

videos of people whose health problems<br />

have been overcome after receiving the<br />

treatment.<br />

Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers<br />

Arms Road, and her hours are Monday,<br />

Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to<br />

5pm. To discuss your health issues or<br />

make an appointment, phone 323 4168<br />

or 027 231 8388.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Keep comfortable with<br />

EnviroMaster<br />

Are you struggling with the heat of<br />

Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />

Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility<br />

of being able to heat and cool which is an<br />

advantage no other appliance can offer. This<br />

represents great value for your investment<br />

as you can use it all year round. The team<br />

at enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool<br />

this Summer either at home or work. enviro<br />

Master supplies, installs and services all the<br />

leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />

Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team<br />

can show you which system and brand will<br />

best suit your needs.<br />

We currently have savings up to $600 off<br />

the recommended retail price on<br />

selected models.<br />

Would you like to maximise the number<br />

of days you can use your swimming pool?<br />

Heating your pool can do this and one of the<br />

most cost effective ways is with a water heat<br />

pump. enviro Master Ltd can supply, install<br />

and service you swimming pool heat pump<br />

providing you with a comfortable, extended<br />

swimming season.<br />

Servicing your heat pump is extremely<br />

important to ensure that it is working<br />

as effectively and efficiently as possible<br />

resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,<br />

lower power bills and greater comfort. But<br />

beware, not all cleaning companies are<br />

equal. We are constantly hearing of people<br />

being charged huge amounts for servicing<br />

and all they are getting is a heat pump clean.<br />

We at enviro Master, are qualified engineers<br />

and therefore are able to fully test and<br />

diagnose any problems you may or may not<br />

be aware of with your heat pump. Also, as<br />

we are associated with all major brands, we<br />

are able to repair these under warranty if<br />

they are still within the warranty period.<br />

It is important to remember, when<br />

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />

warranty does not cover the installation<br />

and consumers could be responsible for<br />

any repair or damage caused to the system<br />

due to poor installation. enviro Master’s<br />

five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />

correct installation, and a demonstration so<br />

customers have an understanding on how it<br />

will best meet their needs.<br />

smooth-air products<br />

To enSure the quality of your air, contact<br />

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate<br />

the required air exchange for your building<br />

requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of<br />

ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />

for fans, for both the commercial and domestic<br />

markets. They have an extensive range of fans<br />

and ventilation components in-store but they<br />

can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<br />

differing requirements.<br />

VenTILATIon<br />

This includes both the exchange of air to the<br />

outside as well as circulation of air within the<br />

building. It is one of the most important factors<br />

for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in<br />

buildings.<br />

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />

and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />

environment in which to live and work. In case<br />

noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its<br />

way, home owners are focusing on ways to make<br />

their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for<br />

their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP<br />

is an issue that affects many of our older properties<br />

which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In<br />

Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people<br />

have relocated to homes that suffer from rising<br />

damp which can be associated with health<br />

problems. Independent tests have shown that<br />

up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground<br />

and enter a house every day, leading to mildew,<br />

mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds<br />

can produce various allergic reactions and the frail,<br />

elderly and very young are especially vulnerable.<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally<br />

owned and operated firm. The team understands<br />

of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />

the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />

dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />

is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />

smells, humidity and harmful substances are not<br />

removed.<br />

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />

stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />

drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a<br />

high content of dust and tobacco smoke are<br />

harmful and can cause various diseases. even<br />

bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />

nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open<br />

windows for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />

approaches, we start to shut up out houses to<br />

trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can<br />

decline.<br />

It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />

air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

Get rid of dampness in your house<br />

the problems caused by rising damp and are there<br />

to help. They will come to your damp home and<br />

pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under<br />

your timber floored home. Specially adapted for<br />

our new Zealand conditions and applications<br />

it provides a layer of protection against rising<br />

moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently,<br />

is that many owners of properties which had<br />

underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it<br />

also provided protection against liquefaction after<br />

the earthquakes.<br />

GENEROUS: Ferrymead Rotary donated dictionaries to Bromley School<br />

pupils recently to help them with their English. Room 10 pupil Grace said the<br />

dictionaries were “so cool”. “They are so easy to use at home – I love it.” Each<br />

room 10 pupil got their own dictionary to take home with them. Heather Fear,<br />

of Ferrymead Rotary, said the club was thrilled the children were enjoying the<br />

dictionaries. “It is evident that the children really enjoy these books – maybe<br />

they are the only books they have at home. Some schools use them as a class<br />

set and, at the end of the year, the children have them to keep.” Ferrymead<br />

Rotary has given dictionaries to several schools in the area so the children each<br />

have a copy of their own. The cost of the dictionaries is subsidised by the Bill<br />

and Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust and the Lois Dalley Trust.<br />

Time Honoured<br />

Remedy<br />

According to a country doctor<br />

“d.c. Jarvis” from Vermont in the<br />

USA cider vinegar and honey (cV<br />

& H) can be an important part<br />

of a long healthy life. dr. Jarvis<br />

noted Vermonters who regularly<br />

consumed cider vinegar and honey<br />

had excellent health with many<br />

putting in a vigorous day’s work on<br />

the farm even when well into their<br />

eighties.<br />

dr. Jarvis found the effects<br />

of cider vinegar and honey on<br />

arthritis can be remarkable with<br />

many patients reporting almost<br />

total relief after taking a course<br />

of the cider vinegar and honey.<br />

dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid<br />

and potassium in cider vinegar<br />

counteracted calcium deposits and<br />

helped the body control calcium use.<br />

As well as a general tonic dr.<br />

Jarvis found regular administration<br />

of cider vinegar and honey at the<br />

onset of complaints such as the<br />

common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic<br />

attacks, hay fever, and childhood<br />

diseases such as chicken pox and<br />

measles, was accompanied by an<br />

improvement in the condition with<br />

symptoms either disappearing, or<br />

the conditions were extremely mild<br />

and soon over.<br />

Apple cider vinegar contains<br />

all the goodness of the apple in a<br />

form that is readily accepted by<br />

the body. Scientists have found<br />

over 90 different substances in<br />

AcV, among them 20 important<br />

trace elements, minerals, essential<br />

enzymes, a number of different<br />

acids including malic acid, amino<br />

acids and roughage in the form<br />

of potash and pectin. A scientific<br />

study at the Shizuka University<br />

in Japan has proven AcV to have<br />

potent antioxidant benefits (it can<br />

destroy free radicals, which are a<br />

major factor in ageing.) and also the<br />

AcV can break down cholesterol<br />

formations in the blood vessels.<br />

AcV and H is a powerful tonic<br />

that also promotes digestion,<br />

assimilation of nutrients and<br />

elimination of waste, and helps<br />

neutralize any toxic substances that<br />

enter the body.<br />

it is important to note not<br />

all cider vinegar is made in the<br />

traditional way and results are likely<br />

to prove disappointing with these<br />

other vinegars.<br />

PAULGER COURTS<br />

RETIREMENT VILLAGE<br />

PAULger coUrtS is a family owned and<br />

oriented village. owners robyn and Peter<br />

Macdonald truly appreciate the value and<br />

importance of independence and on-going<br />

community relationships to their residents,<br />

whilst remaining a close-knit and supportive<br />

community. our residents maintain their<br />

community<br />

attachments,<br />

hobbies and<br />

independence,<br />

whilst<br />

knowing that<br />

support is<br />

there if they<br />

need it.<br />

The village’s 34 semi-detached but private<br />

units sit in landscaped grounds alongside<br />

george Manning House, the purpose-built<br />

eighty-one bed rest home and hospital.<br />

on hand at gMH robyn and her team are<br />

available to answer any questions or organise<br />

any assistance the residents need.<br />

Paulger courts units are designed to be<br />

sunny, comfortable and easy to live in, whilst<br />

relieving the residents of the burden of home<br />

maintenance or reliance on family for urgent<br />

assistance. With the supplied ‘never Alone’<br />

alarm, the nightly security patrol and willing<br />

staff, residents and their families can feel<br />

reassured that help is at hand should it be<br />

required.<br />

The emphasis at Paulger courts is on<br />

ensuring that it always remains a safe and<br />

happy place for people to live, making<br />

the move to a retirement village as easy a<br />

transition<br />

as possible.<br />

“DON’T GET AROUND MUCH .. ANy MORE”<br />

If this is your song, think again!<br />

certAinLy, BALAnce and<br />

muscle strength decline with<br />

age and can have disastrous<br />

consequences. But it’s never too<br />

late to improve both. We can help<br />

ourselves to remain independent.<br />

it’s easy to make excuses, i’m<br />

too tired, too old, too fat, too lazy.<br />

if you want to change your life,<br />

even at 90 it’s possible to improve<br />

your leg muscle strength. it may<br />

still be possible to maintain or<br />

regain your balance and live the<br />

life you want.<br />

every year, one out of three<br />

people aged 65 and over has a fall.<br />

A few simple exercises can help<br />

reduce your risk of falling and<br />

keep you independent longer.<br />

try standing on one foot for 10 seconds while waiting for the<br />

kettle to boil. Heel to toe walk in the lounge. Looking straight<br />

ahead, take 20 steps and imagine you are walking along a narrow<br />

path.<br />

For active people, most outdoor activities and tai chi and yoga<br />

are excellent for both leg strengthening and balance.<br />

For those less active or with mobility problems, seated exercises<br />

can achieve results amazingly quickly. Simple Aircycle leg exercises<br />

are effective, relaxing and enjoyable.<br />

you can have coffee, chat on the phone or watch tV, while<br />

relaxing with your Aircycle exerciser to boost circulation, increase<br />

joint flexibility, strengthen calf and thigh muscles to help improve<br />

your balance. Better balance and stronger muscles ensure greater<br />

independence.<br />

no one else can do it for you. your life is in your hands.<br />

Complementary therapies<br />

and products<br />

coMPLeMentAry Medicine includes treatments and products<br />

that are not traditionally used in conventional medicine. They<br />

range from ancient systems such as traditional chinese medicine<br />

to treatments such as massage, acupuncture, herbal medicine<br />

and aromatherapy. They emphasise a ‘wellness’ that comes from a<br />

balance between the body and mind. The gap between conventional<br />

medicine and complementary is starting to blur.<br />

Before starting any treatment or product it is important to check<br />

what evidence is available to suggest that it may work for you. Many<br />

treatments are beginning to be backed up by scientific evidence.<br />

However, for many others it is still unclear whether they are truly<br />

effective, harmful or a waste of time and money.<br />

Some supplements that may be beneficial for you:<br />

Avocado, soybean, calcium & vitamin d, capsicum, folic acid, fish<br />

oil, glucosamine & chondroitin and cherries.<br />

Herbs can also be beneficial e.g. boswellia can be beneficial for<br />

those with osteoarthritis. you may also consider tai chi, yoga and<br />

relaxation techniques.<br />

if you try complementary medicine treatment it is important<br />

to discuss with your medical practitioner about any possible<br />

interactions of the product with your current medical treatment.<br />

Keep in mind that natural does not necessarily mean safe and<br />

always tell your doctor of all the remedies you take.<br />

Why choose Haeata?<br />

The future is bright in the East<br />

When I first saw the<br />

advertisement for the role<br />

of Haeata Community<br />

Campus Principal, I thought<br />

it was the most exciting<br />

educational opportunity<br />

I had seen for some time.<br />

The chance to create and build a new<br />

school is rare. At the time I was working<br />

as the Head of Secondary at Hong Kong’s<br />

Discovery College and prior to that I held<br />

Principal and Deputy Principal roles at<br />

Hornby and Lincoln High Schools. Haeata<br />

Community Campus will open its doors in<br />

term one of 2017 for students from years 1-13.<br />

The brand new school is currently being<br />

built on the Aranui High School site.<br />

The campus will combine pupils from the<br />

four schools that are closing in eastern<br />

Christchurch – Aranui Primary, Wainoni<br />

Primary, Avondale Primary and Aranui High<br />

School – as well as welcoming new students<br />

from the local community.<br />

It’s really important that we capture the<br />

essence of what has worked well at the four<br />

schools that are closing and apply it in the<br />

new campus.<br />

Families can be confident that their children<br />

will have access to quality and innovative<br />

education that provides a strong foundation<br />

for their future.<br />

Having students from years 1-13 allows<br />

us to build strong connections between<br />

the school, students and whānau.<br />

We are fortunate to be in state-of-theart<br />

facilities which will provide amazing<br />

opportunities for all students and<br />

community groups.<br />

We will be engaging face-to-face with our<br />

community regularly, beginning this month,<br />

to discuss our plans, seek feedback and<br />

answer questions you may have.<br />

Along with our leadership team and<br />

Board of Trustees, I look forward to<br />

welcoming our first students in 2017.<br />

This is an exciting time for the East<br />

– join us!<br />

Bringing Haeata to life<br />

Experience, passion and local knowledge are key attributes of Haeata’s Senior Leadership<br />

Team, made up of five teachers who will play a big part in getting the school ready for 2017.<br />

Principal of Haeata Community<br />

Campus Andy Kai Fong is joined by<br />

Paul Osborne, a senior leader and Head<br />

of Department in Mathematics at Aranui<br />

High, the principal of Te Karaka Area<br />

School Karyn Gray, the deputy principal<br />

of Bromley School Rebecca Wilson and<br />

Melanie Taite-Pitama, a Ministry of<br />

Education and Maori education leader.<br />

Paul Osborne says he is relishing<br />

the chance to help make Haeata<br />

Community Campus the school of<br />

choice for the East of Christchurch.<br />

“There is already a strong sense of<br />

direction for the new school, and<br />

I’m looking forward to being part of<br />

the group bringing Haeata to life,”<br />

he says.<br />

Te Karaka principal Karyn Gray<br />

has moved from Gisborne to join the<br />

new team. “Haeata Community Campus<br />

is an exciting educational opportunity,”<br />

she says. “I’m looking forward to<br />

working closely with the Aranui<br />

community to ensure we meet<br />

their ambitions and goals.”<br />

For Rebecca Wilson, innovation and<br />

endless opportunities are key elements<br />

in her move to Haeata Community<br />

Campus. “I’m passionate about the<br />

East,” she says. “After 13 years at<br />

Bromley, I see this as a wonderful<br />

chance to make a contribution to<br />

successful educational outcomes for<br />

our pupils. I want to get the community<br />

excited about the endless opportunities<br />

for their children.”<br />

Melanie Taite-Pitama, the new director<br />

of learning at Haeata Community<br />

Campus, is looking forward to applying<br />

her past experience as deputy principal<br />

at Tuahiwi School, and most recently<br />

with the Ministry of Education.<br />

“Haeata Community Campus is<br />

something new in terms of transforming<br />

education. That’s where I like to be -<br />

right in that mix of making a difference,<br />

leaving a legacy and making change,”<br />

Melanie says. “I’m looking forward to<br />

the opportunity to build something<br />

that no-one else is doing.”<br />

Passionate teachers, a new<br />

approach to learning and a<br />

cutting-edge environment<br />

are among the reasons why<br />

Michelle Mahuika and her<br />

children are choosing<br />

Haeata Community Campus.<br />

Michelle’s two daughters, Manaia, 13,<br />

and Kaea, 4, will be among the first<br />

students attending Haeata when it opens<br />

in 2017. Manaia is currently at Avonside<br />

Girls High School and Kaea is attending<br />

E Tipu e Rea on the current Aranui High<br />

School site. Kaea will be five in July but<br />

Michelle, an early childhood teacher, has<br />

decided to wait until Haeata opens before<br />

sending her to school.<br />

“The endless opportunities that Haeata<br />

presents made the decision an easy one,<br />

and Kaea is so excited about going,” says<br />

Michelle, who lives in New Brighton with<br />

the girls and her husband Daniel Davies.<br />

“She can see the school being built<br />

from where she attends preschool, and<br />

is constantly watching the video on the<br />

website. It is exciting for us just to listen to<br />

her and I know that she will thrive there.”<br />

Michelle’s older daughter Manaia made<br />

the decision herself to attend Haeata.<br />

“The opportunity to be part of something<br />

new and exciting played a big part, and<br />

the fact she can really delve into subjects<br />

that interest her due to Haeata’s selfdirected<br />

learning approach made it very<br />

appealing,” says Michelle.<br />

“The big thing for us, from a parent’s<br />

perspective, is knowing that Haeata will<br />

have really passionate and enthusiastic<br />

teachers on board who will support and<br />

encourage our girls’ education.”
