Call to save boardwalk
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
SOUTH NEW Brighton
residents are furious at the lack
of action by the city council
to stop the estuary edge and
walkway eroding away.
They say action needs to be
taken quickly to save not only
the estuary edge that runs from
the end of Caspian St to Bridge
St, but also the walkway, off
Estuary Rd.
The walkway was built about
25 years ago, but now is warped
and twisted after being
damaged in the February 22,
2011 earthquake and a lack of
care, they say, from the city
council.
But the city council says it is
taking a “no regrets” approach
to the treatment of the estuary
edge.
Investigations had been delayed
because of the engineering
and funding problems, it said.
City council head of strategic
policy Helen Beaumont said it
needed to weigh the cost and
benefits of the potential solutions.
Natural dune systems and
planting, sea walls, stop banks
and pumping stations were potential
solutions, she said.
A report on what to do with
the boardwalk would be before
the Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board in September.
City councillor David East said
there was a number of environmental
reports that could have
been done, but “there were other
priorities”.
But community board member
Tim Sintes said the city
council response was not good
enough.
Residents want the same
amount of money spent on their
estuary edges as was spent at
Ferrymead and Redcliffs, he
said. About $5.3m was spent by
the city council to build a 500m
long sea wall in Redcliffs in 2014.
The annual plan has $337,000
earmarked for the boardwalk,
but it was unknown how much
was budgeted for the estuary.
Mr Sintes said: “It’s been left
to rack and ruin. It’s very disheartening
for those who come
over here after being in the Ferrymead
or Redcliffs area and see
how much money has been spent
on their sea walls, and they come
over here and they can’t see any
sea walls.”
South Brighton Motor Camp
resident Deidre McGowan said
the estuary edge and boardwalk
were popular and said it was
indicative to her of “how little
the city council cares”.
NEGLECT:
Deidre
McGowan and
Tim Sintes are
fed up with the
city council’s
inaction over
the South
New Brighton
boardwalk.

PEGASUS POST
FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News............................3,5 & 17
IT IS a sad fact that bullying is
not only prevalent in schools, but
in many other facets of life. Vicki
Edwards-Brown is the driving
force behind Be The Change,
an anti-bullying programme
that started after she saw a lack
of empathy for those subjected
to schoolyard harassment. The
actress and singer talks about not
only the programme but her stint
on Shortland Street on page 6.
On page 17, reporter Donna
Miles talks to the Canterbury
Muslim Community Trust.
Though they do not suffer the
same levels of “islamophobia”
compared to the rest of the world,
there is still a way to go in understanding
the different cultures
of the 40 ethnic groups that
represent the Muslim community
in the city.
Have a good week.

East-siders looked down on
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
EASTERN suburbs teenagers
feel the rest of the city look
down on them due to where
they live and the schools they
go to.
That is the conclusion made
by 17-year-old Christchurch
East youth MP and Aranui
High School student, Bethany
Walters.
Bethany interviewed more
than 50 students from Aranui
High, Linwood College and
Mairehau High School for her
short film – Eastside Youth:
Our Voice.
She said that although
more than 70 per cent of the
students she interviewed liked
living in the east, the majority
feel they are looked down on
by the rest of the city because
of the school they attend, and
the suburbs they live in.
“The stigma and reputation
that people who don’t live
here give the east is not a true
representation,” she said.
Bethany said overwhelmingly
the students felt underappreciated
and left out of
decisions that will impact their
future.
“They said the east was
resilient . . . but felt like local
government and central
government weren’t engaging
youth in the process of recovery
in the east.”
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams said Bethany was “a
credit” to the community that
she is fighting for.
“She’s making sure the
voices in the east are heard.
She’s also making sure that
people on the other side of the
country know how the youth
on the east of Christchurch
feel.
“Youth often get left out
unless people are really intentional
about seeking their
voices. She’s doing a really
good thing, she’s showing that
everyone counts, especially
youth,” she said.
Aranui High principal
Maree Furness said the
film was a voice for eastern
Christchurch.
“ The youth that live here
have some amazing ideas,
so it would be great if their
opinions were really sought.
Particularly as some of their
decisions are impacting their
future,” she said.
BEHIND THE SCENES:
Bethany Walters’ film,
Eastside Youth: Our Voice,
depicts the concerns of
students in the eastern
suburbs.

FLYING FOX COMPLAINT
A childrens’ flying fox was taken down
in the Prestons’ subdivision last week
because it exceeded noise levels. City
councillor Glenn Livingstone said last
week that he would be working with the
Burwood-Pegasus Community Board to
find “a positive outcome” in the coming
weeks.
CONTAMINATED WATER
Banks Avenue School have tested its
water for cryptosporidium, a bug that
causes upset stomachs. The school said
it was notified last week that a pupil
had cryptosporidiosis, and had to be
kept away from school. The school also
said it had “several” pupils off school
with “tummy bugs” recently, so had
undertaken precautionary measures.

Playgrounds need to
be wheelchair-friendly
Shirley-Papanui
Community
Board member
Jo Byrne talks
about having
“wheelchairfriendly
surfaces” in
childrens’ playgrounds, so all
children have the chance to
play.
Many people know of my
interest in flooding issues in the
Flockton area.
However, many people don’t
realise that, as a part-time speech
language therapist working with
children and young people with
disabilities, I have also been
actively advocating for more inclusive
facilities in our ward.
The therapy team I work with
made an in-depth submission to
the Margaret Mahy family playground
team on making that play
area safe and accessible for people
with disabilities.
Overseas, many major cities are
developing all access play areas.
These are destination play areas
where children of all abilities can
play on the equipment.
This means children with disabilities
can play alongside their
siblings and friends. Children can
be side-by-side using different
swings, including basket swings
and platform swings.
Children using wheelchairs
are then not isolated in the
wheelchair swing in the corner of
a park.
Internationally there are now
play equipment manufacturers
which specialise in accessible play
grounds.
In Auckland an all abilities
playground has opened in Long
Bay.
Locally, it is fantastic to see the
Smile Dial Sensory Garden development
plans in Burwood.
The Shirley-Papanui Community
Board has been working for
more accessible play areas in our
ward, too.
As playgrounds in the ward
have come up for renewal, we
have supported city council staff
in coming up with play solutions
that work for as many children as
possible (while operating within
the proposed budget).
This means we have chosen
more wheelchair friendly surfaces,
and equipment that has
more options for less physically
able children.
Work has started in the Craighead
Reserve play area, and is
planned for the new The Groynes
play area.
The community board would
love a future Christchurch that
has play equipment across the
city for all our young people, so
they can play safely in their own
community and have the most
suitable resources available.
Another project the community
board has had input into is the
working party for the design of
the new St Albans Community
Centre.
The plans for the proposed centre
include an adult change bed,
and hopefully will also include a
ceiling hoist.
This means that adults with disabilities
who are unable to use the
usual disability toilet facilities can
still access their community and
not have to go home when they
need changing.
This would open the community
facility for use for a wider
range of community groups.
We all hope that when we look
at the future Christchurch that it
is truly accessible.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you
agree with Jo Byrne? What
parks can you think of that
specifically need to be upgraded
so that all children
can enjoy them? Email fraser.

FLAME FILES
GUTTED: A garage fire on Linwood Ave started when hot
ash was put in a bin.
Winter fire tips
• By Mark Thomas – Fire
Risk Management Officer
TWO PROPERTY fires, with all
the drama and heartache they
entail, occurred last week – the
result of very topical causes
reflecting the start of winter.
In the early hours of June 12,
a household in Parklands was
alerted by smoke alarms to the
fact the house was on fire.
That there were operating
smoke detectors saved a possible
tragedy, but the cause may have
been avoidable.
The origin of the fire was
traced to a clothes dryer that
had been started before the occupants
went to bed.
There’s two points here.
Firstly, it isn’t known whether
the lint filter had been cleared
recently.
If it hadn’t, and this should
be done every time the drier is
used, it is possible the contents
just got hotter and hotter to
PEGASUS POST
ignition temperature.
Secondly, the use of these
things should probably be restricted
to when you’re at home,
up and alert.
Then you can deal with
problems immediately as they
occur.
The other fire was a classic
winter event, where fire ash was
left against the side of a garage
in Linwood on June 14.
Ash is an excellent insulator.
Hot embers encased in the ash,
inside a bucket, will not cool
down for days.
In this case, heat transferred
through the ash, the side of the
bucket and the iron cladding of
the garage, igniting the wooden
framing.
It is recommended that five
days is the minimum time to
expect ash to completely cool.
That’s five days you must
keep the ash and bucket outside
and well away from anything
combustible.
New Brighton rugby stronger than ever
Glenn Matthews,
of New Brighton,
talks about the
community’s
winning attitude.
The culture that has been built
within the New Brighton Rugby
Club – especially after the
earthquakes, when some thought
the suburb would fade away –
was a big key to the club’s success
this season.
Previously
United Travel
The club created history when
the division 1 and 2 sides both
won their first round competitions
in the Hawkins Cup.
It is the first time that the club
has won both grades on the same
day.
The division 1 side went into
the final round level on points
with Lincoln University, who
were aiming to be the first club
to win the Hawkins Cup four
years in a row.
As expected, New Brighton
cruised past Belfast, running in
12 tries in a 72-12 win to secure
their 9th win in 11 matches,
while Lincoln University were
unable to earn a bonus point in
their 15-10 win over Sydenham.
Therefore, the trophy was
handed to the sea-siders for the
first time since 2010 when they
shared it with High School Old
Boys.
The division 2 side remained
unbeaten and hold a 14-point
lead with two rounds to play
after winning their 11th straight
match 49-19 against a tough
Sydenham side.
The closeness of the two sides
and communication between
the coaching staff and the senior
coaching staff, of Scott Pawson
and Troy Manaena, was responsible
for the win.
The senior side will now look
to win their first Hawkins Cup
since 2013. Meanwhile, the Division
2 side will be hoping to get
their name on it for the first time
since 2012.

Super-school recruiting
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
SUPER-SCHOOL in the
making, Haeata Community
Campus, will be looking to fill
more than 40 staffing positions
over the next two weekends.
The school, being built on the
site of Aranui High School, will
see the closure of Avondale Primary,
Wainoni, Aranui Primary
and Aranui High schools at the
end of the year.
Haeata principal Andy Kai
Fong said he was looking forward
to meeting the “shortlist”
of applicants for the more than
40 positions they are looking to
fill.
“We’re about to enter into
two big weekends of recruiting,
so we’re looking for more great
staff. We have up to about 45
positions to offer, and we’ve
had over 120 to 130 applicants.
So we’ve trimmed that to a
shortlist, but it’s still quite a long
shortlist,” he said.
Mr Kai Fong said he hopes
to meet each applicant on the
shortlist to make the strongest
staffing team possible, and
begin offering roles at the end of
term 2.
“We’ll go into these recruiting
weekends, and we will see at
STRONG TEAM: Haeata Community Campus principal Andy Kai Fong (far left) is looking to

the end of them, and make job
offers by the end of the term,”
he said.
Last week, Haeata announced
the appointment of Aranui
Primary’s deputy principal, Jess
Bijl-Kakoi, as the super-school’s
new diverse education leader.
Mr Kai Fong said Ms Bijl-
Kakoi will start with Haeata at
the beginning of the next term.
“With the Ministry’s model
of staffing, we get to appoint a
certain amount of staff in the
middle of the year.
We decided we could do with
some extra support of diverse
education, and celebrate the
kids coming from four different
schools . . . we’re excited to have
her expertise and enthusiasm on
board.
“Each school has students
that have shown home learning
is becoming difficult, and we
want to be able to support all of
them.” he said.
Wheelie bins
get ID tags
HAVE YOU ever wondered how
the city council keeps track of all
of its wheelie bins?
The city council will carry out
a stock take of kerbside wheelie
bins throughout the city, starting
next month. It is designed to
reduce the cost of the bin collection
service by removing lost,
damaged and stolen bins from
circulation.
The stock take is expected to
save ratepayers $9.3m over the
course of the city council’s contract
with Waste Management
NZ, which runs until 2029.
It will reduce the cost of
collecting bins by $13.8m, but
the stock take will cost the city
council $4.5m.
City council’s solid waste manager
Ross Trotter said bins will
be fitted with radio frequency
tags to ensure damaged, stolen or
lost bins can be easily identified.
“The radio frequency chips
can’t track the location of the
bins. They communicate with
the collection truck as it goes
past to ensure that the bin is located
near the correct property.
It is a short range signal,” he said.
They can then be checked
and matched to the database,
returned to their original property
or re-allocated for future
distribution.

Our People
Taking a stand against bullying
Burwood resident Vicki Edwards-Brown started the
charity Be The Change in 2011 to tackle the problem
of bullying and help support victims. She spoke to
reporter Tom Doudney about what inspired her to
set the charity up, her role on Shortland Street and
the freak spinal injury she suffered.
I heard that you were actually
bullied as an adult, is that
right? What role did that play
in starting Be The Change?
Yes, I was but it’s not the driving
force behind why I started
Be The Change. That driving
force was to do with my husband
working in a high school, seeing
the effect that bullying was
having on young people around
me, and just really having a
desperate need to help them and
massive empathy for them. I was
thinking that’s hard enough, and
then you have the earthquakes
to deal with as well, and we need
something in New Zealand to
empower young people to stand
up to bullying.
Yeah, I was bullied in the
workplace but I didn’t know it at
the time, so I guess it would have
been good to have tools and tips
to know that, actually, that’s not
okay.
Can you tell me more about
your background before
starting Be The Change?
My background is really in
the speaking side of it. When I
do the workshops and presentations,
that comes from an acting
background that I have. I have
been on Shortland Street and
other things when I was younger,
so that has drawn me to being
able to present to young people
and fit in.
When were you on Shortland
Street?
I was on in 2010. My husband
[Shaun Edwards-Brown] was actually
on for a whole year during
2009 and 2010 as well. He was a
pivotal character and I got a twomonth
contract as well, which
was really awesome.
What character did you play?
Her name was Jewel Fitzpatrick.
What was Jewel like?
She was actually an actress. I
was acting, playing an actress.
Who did your husband play
on Shortland Street?
He was Ben Goodall – a paramedic.
How did your tenure end
at Shortland Street? Did your
character get killed off or anything
like that?
No, some main characters did
a play and I was in that play, so
the play just ran its course and
that was it.
Did being on Shortland Street
open up any more doors for you
in terms of acting?
Yeah, we lived in Auckland
for six months and did some
ads and things like that. Then
ON SCREEN:
Vicki Edwards-
Brown played
the role of
actor Jewel
Fitzpatrick
on the long
running
soap opera,
Shortland
Street.
TAKING A STAND: Vicki Edwards-Brown started Be The
Change, a charity that aims to tackle bullying.
we came back to Christchurch,
I had major back surgery and
then, being stuck in bed for six
weeks while watching TV, I saw
something which inspired me to
create Be The Change.
What was it you saw on TV?
It was a programme about
a bully prevention charity in
America called Challenge Day
and I saw that and just thought
‘wow, that is really awesome’
and it just inspired me to do
something because we needed
something like that in New
Zealand.
You mentioned being in some
ads, what might we recognise
you from?
They’re pretty old now –
Vector’s fibre to the door was
one. I was just like standing at
a sink turning the tap on and
trying to get water through a
straw.
But predominately I used to
sing – I’d sing at Twiggers, at
Addington Raceway. We used to
sing every Friday and Saturday
with the band. So a lot of my
performing was theatrical with
singing in a band and stuff like
that. I had my own band called
V.I.P. I have also done about 20
shows through Showbiz over the
years.
What sort of music did you
sing with your band?
I love 80s. Anything from the
60s right through. It was all Top
of the Pops stuff that people like
to hear.
So, have you stopped playing
with bands now?
I do stuff with a group called
Chant et Danse, a Christchurch
entertainment group.
You also mentioned that you
had major back surgery, what
happened there?
It was a really freak accident.
Eleven years ago we were driving
along Moorhouse Ave and there
were high winds and a threestorey-high
tree broke off in the
wind just as we drove past and
the tree came through the roof
on to my head.
Oh my gosh!
I’m laughing now but it wasn’t
good at the time, and it literally
broke my back. I had two spinal
surgeries so I have got a titanium
back.
Do you feel good as new now?
No, I have chronic back pain
but I have just learned to live
with it and do the best I can
through exercise and being
healthy and that sort of thing,
and having a positive attitude
about everything – everything. If
you can think of something to be
grateful for in life, and literally I
think helping other people helps
me. If I can lie in bed at night
saying I have helped one person,
that makes me happy.
What sort of support do victims
of bullying need most? Is
it really just people being kind
to them?
That really is a huge part of
it, yes. It takes a community
to prevent bullying – not just
a school, or the person, or the
family. Schools are the ones that
are often blamed but they really
struggle with the resources and
it’s people like me who can help
them create positive cultures –
and I need funding! Funding
would enable me to give more resources
and help to more schools
in Christchurch.
But yeah, just being kind and
doing things like, for example,
setting up lunchtime events at
schools. We held an anonymous
appreciation day at Cashmere
High School, where we provided
kids with cards and they write
anonymously nice notes to other
people. We delivered 1200 notes
to teachers and students that day.
It was such a wonderful experience
and just set a positive buzz
around the school.
How do you think we should
view people who bully? Are
these bad people or should we
pity them, too?
I do believe that a bully generally
is someone who is doing that
because they are being bullied
themselves, so I do go the way
of feeling sorry for them and
empathising with their situation,
rather than telling them they’re
bad.

Junk food-free
HEALTHY SCHOOL: Kaylee Lochrie-Bennet (left), Sheldon
Lawson, and Willow Warwood-Manihera, from Bromley
School, with Barbara Crooks from Ferrymead Rotary, who
is helping them to become healthy heroes. The pupils
received juggling balls as a reward for completing the
first three weeks of the Rotary Healthy Heroes Challenge.
To complete the challenge, each day for nine weeks
the pupils had to exercise for at least 30 minutes. This
included walking or swimming. They also had to eat three
vegetables, two pieces of fruit and get eight to 10 hours
sleep each night. They had to read, listen to music, and try
art. And they also had to help others at home, at school and
in the community. Mrs Crooks said that it was a delight to
see the children all involved in the programme.
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
CHISNALLWOOD Intermediate
has decided to go junk-food free
this month.
The school has joined more
than 10,000 Kiwis signed up to
fight cancer through Junk-Free
June.
Last week, the school held
a community viewing of 2014
documentary, That Sugar Film,
as part of Junk-Free June, and
asked parents to donate $1 for the
screening.
Chisnallwood physical education
teacher Dan Vann said at the
screening, there was lots of fun
activities for the kids to do, as
well as healthy treats.
“There was lots of food that was
prepared in a healthy way. Things
like smoothies, toasties, and there
was even a smoothie bike, where
kids jumped on and when they
pedalled, it blended the fruit,” he
said.
He said the aim of the screening
wasn’t only to raise money
for Junk-Free June, but to raise
parents’ awareness of healthy
foods, and hidden sugar in foods
that kids eat.
“Most of the staff are on board.
They’ve signed up, but the main
thing is trying to educate the kids
. . . there’s a big misconception
HEALTHY TREAT: Chisnallwood Intermediate pupils sold fruit
salad as part of their Junk-Free June celebrations.
that only junk food is bad for
you,” Mr Vann said.
He said the school hopes to
raise about $1000 for Junk-Free
June, in which the idea is to go a
whole month without eating or
drinking sugar-filled food and
drink, while raising funds for
cancer research.
Mr Vann said it’s surprising
how much sugar is in normal
foods like Nutri-Grain and Up &
Go breakfast drinks.
“I’ve had a look at the average
lunchbox of the kids at school,
and I’ve kind of worked out their
average amount of sugar intake in
the day.
“Surprisingly there was an
average of about 62 teaspoons of
sugar in that average lunchbox,”
he said.
Mr Vann said he put the high
amount of sugar down to foods
that “you wouldn’t expect to have
sugar in”. Foods such as yoghurts,
breakfast cereals, muesli bars,
orange juice, and sauces.

Gym champions
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
GYMNASTICS AND trampolining
pupils from Marshland School mixed
it up with the best in their age group
at a recent national competition.
Seven Marshland pupils attended
the 2016 Otago artistic qualifying
competition, a trampoline tournament,
and the Dunedin Gymnastic
Academy 1st junior competitions.
Seven-year-old Marshland gymnast,
Libby McDonald, won first place overall,
second in the floor section, and
second in the vault.
Her gym team also finished second
overall.
Principal Jacqui Pascoe said it had
been an “exciting weekend” for the
pupils.
“(It was) a very exciting weekend for
a number of our Marshland children.
In another competition, the Marshland
School Tramp Team did incredibly
well,” she said.
In the trampoline competition,
Jacob McGraw, 9, won the men’s
B grade; Ethan Field, 9, gained silver
in the men’s A grade; Isla Maclean, 9,
also gained silver in the women’s A
grade; Riley Field, 7, placed third in
the men’s C grade; Brooke Robertson,
6, was sixth in the women’s C grade;
and Milly Robertson competed for
the first time in women’s C grade.
Mrs Pascoe said the scores gave
Marshland a podium finish over the
weekend.
“With the top four scores combined,
the Marshland School team came in
second overall as well – outstanding,”
she said.
COMMUNITY HUB: Linwood College was the first school in Canterbury to host a
mobile well-being unit, used to help the community build a relationship with police.
It has been worked on for more than six months. Last week, the Linwood Well-being
Mobile Hub made its debut appearance. The aim of the mobile unit is prevention. It will
deliver important messages so every student and young person can reach their full
potential. Mayor Lianne Dalziel also attended the opening.
HELPING HANDS: Marshland School was
full of colour last week, when volunteers
planted a series of native flax in the
school. With the help of the local Bunnings
Warehouse Shirley on Wednesday, team
members laid coconut matting and planted
native flax plants in the water drains in front
of the re-located school. The flax, which
is one of New Zealand’s most distinctive
native plants,, is particularly popular with tui,
which feed on the nectar of its flowers.

Restoring estuaries
MORE THAN 200 tree
seedlings were planted during
the Estuary Trust’s fourth
restoration project, which took
place in South New Brighton
Park.
After having established
successful community restoration
projects in Charlesworth
wetland, McCormacks Bay wetland
and Thistledown wetland
reserves, the trust took to South
New Brighton Park for another
major restoration project.
The Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board gave the trust a
grant for the purchase of 220 tree
seedlings, which allowed a team
of volunteers to head for the park
to plant the seedlings near and
around the park’s play ground.
Estuary Trust co-ordinator
Tanya Jenkins said the projects
are about community involvement
as much as improving the
local landscape.
“Our restoration projects are
about encouraging local residents
to become involved in taking
positive actions to improve
their local natural environment,”
she said.
She said local community
members are welcome to join the
small team of local volunteers on
the first Sunday of every month

they wear closed footwear
and clothing suited to weather

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JUNE 2016
EQC begins settling ILV land damage claims
Head of Canterbury Land Settlement for EQC,
Keith Land
The Earthquake Commission has begun
settling claims for Increased Liquefaction
Vulnerability (ILV) land damage.
Keith Land, Head of Canterbury Land
Settlement, says that the settlements will go to
4,400 customers whose properties have
qualified as having an increased vulnerability to
liquefaction following the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquakes.
“Each qualified property is being assessed and
will be cash settled on a case-by-case basis as
we have done to date with other forms of land
damage resulting from these earthquakes.
Similar to Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV)
land damage, settlement of ILV land damage is
a world-first. This type of land damage has not
been covered by insurance anywhere else, so
Fulbright-EQC Award recipient to study
seismic performance of high-rise walls
The Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award’s newest recipient, Alex Shegay,
is looking into the reasons behind unexpected failures of reinforced
concrete walls and ways in which performance can be improved.
Mr Shegay, 24, has been granted the 2016 Fulbright-EQC Graduate
Award in Natural Disaster Research and soon will be heading to the
University of Washington on his exchange.
In the US, he will research the seismic performance of high-rise structural
walls and use experimental data to create validated computer models.
The research will go towards his PhD in Structural/Earthquake
Engineering at the University of Auckland.
“Structural engineers have significant social responsibility to protect
civilians even in the most devastating circumstances. The 2010/2011
Canterbury Earthquakes were an example of one such catastrophic event,
producing ground accelerations never before recorded in an urban
environment.
“Many concrete buildings in Christchurch that relied on reinforced
concrete walls for seismic resistance were severely damaged to the
point that it was fortunate to find them still standing. It’s crucial to learn
from the Canterbury earthquakes and improve building design and
construction practice.”
considerable work was required to get the
engineering and valuation methodologies
right,” said Mr Land.
“We want to make sure that the final settlements
are based on a robust and appropriate
settlement process so that customers can have
confidence their claims for ILV land damage
have been paid consistently and fairly.”
EQC expects at least two thirds of ILV
customers will receive settlements based on
the reduction in their property’s market value
caused by ILV, also known as Diminution of
Value (DOV).
“This is because generally, there are no
available ground improvement methods to
address ILV damage on a property where
a house has remained in place since the
earthquakes,” says Mr Land.
The remaining third of ILV customers are being
assessed for a settlement based on the cost to
repair the ILV land damage. This will generally
be in situations where the house has already
been, or will be, rebuilt or removed due to the
earthquake damage.”
Customers receiving a ‘cost to repair’
settlement will be individually case-managed,
as the situation for each of them varies. Before
it can be confirmed that these customers will
receive a repair cost settlement, more
information is needed to understand their
property’s current situation.
Mr Land says that settlements for DOV
customers began this month and EQC also
started contacting repair cost customers.
EQC has resolved nearly 90% of properties
with land claims resulting from 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquakes, and expects to
resolve the remainder of the land programme
by the end of 2016.
EQC will also hold six ILV meetings from July to
November for customers whose settlements are
based on DOV. The purpose of the meetings is
for customers to ask questions and hear from
EQC and its valuers about what’s been involved
in ILV settlement decisions.

Progress report
on EQC remedial
programme
The Earthquake Commission has received 8,337
remedial enquiries of which 2,211 have been resolved
as of 27 May 2016. This leaves 6,126 enquiries
remaining.
The amount recorded as being spent on remedial work to
May 2016 was $7,068,833. However it has not been possible
to separate out all remedial costs from other work streams.
The total cost of the remedial repairs will never be finally
known until we have resolved all the outstanding claims.
There are still a number of unknowns and it’s also too early
to say exactly what the final figure will be for the remedial
programme. However, EQC expects the final cost could be
in the region of $60 million to $70 million, which is covered
by our existing liability estimates. To put this estimate in
context it would account for less than 3% of the approximate
$2.5 billion cost of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme
to date.
The level of remedial work for the Canterbury Home
Repair Programme is well within industry norms for the
national construction sector.
EQC has prioritised first time repairs, although it has carried
out urgent remedial work for vulnerable customers or where
the work is needed to make a house safe, secure and/or
sanitary.
Now that EQC is down to the last of the first time repairs,
focus has increased on resolving remedials.
EQC is confident it has the processes and teams in place to
address the issues. EQC has been expanding the remedial
team since September 2015 and more staff are being added
as first time repairs near completion.
EQC does not have a projected date to stop receiving
remedial requests but will continue working with customers
until their claims are resolved.
One of the reasons for starting the Canterbury Home Repair
Programme was to ensure customers would have the
assurance that any issues with their earthquake repairs
would be addressed.
Currently around 100 remedial requests are being received
a week.
Customers can follow the progress of their
claim through a series of EQC letters with a tick
diagram. Each new tick means the customer
is closer to receiving their settlement.
Processing
starts for
Feb 2016
quakes
EQC aims to complete assessments
more quickly for the February 2016
Canterbury earthquake claims using
customer-provided information for
desk-based assessments.
Onsite assessment visits to customers’
properties will be the exception for cases
where there is extensive damage, claims
are complex or individual circumstances
require it. EQC claim managers have
been calling customers to get
information and documents – such as
specific damage measurements and
photos – before deciding whether a
phone or on-site assessment works best.
Claims processing is well underway
with over 685 claims paid so far out of
the total 13,134 received. Priority is
given to vulnerable customers, followed
by claims in the order in which they
were lodged.
“Customers who have had their claims
settled so far have told us that the new
approach is working better for them.
Before starting to settle claims, EQC
proactively talked with customers about
different ways of doing things, using
their feedback to design our approach
for this event,” says EQC Manager of
the February 2016 Event, Jayne Lapin.
“Most of the damage suffered is
cosmetic, so EQC won’t manage a repair
programme this time but, customers
who need assistance to organise repairs,
can contact our Community Contact
Team in Christchurch. The team has
strong links with support agencies who
can help. Call EQC on 0800 DAMAGE
(0800 326 243) to book an appointment
with the Community Contact Team, if
support is needed.
“For customers whose 2010/2011
Canterbury earthquake claims are still
open, EQC aims to resolve their February
2016 claim together with their
2010/2011 claims. We want to make
sure all outstanding issues for their
properties are on track for resolution by
the end of 2016,” Ms Lapin says.
At this stage, EQC expects to resolve
the majority of February 2016
earthquake claims by the end of
December 2016.

Menes’ honoured
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
TWO VOLUNTEERS that saved
Rawhiti Golf Club from closing
have been recognised at a recent
region-wide awards dinner.
Mene and Sally Mene attended
the Canterbury Golf Annual
Awards dinner, held recently
at Russley Golf Club, with the
mind-set of being the “small club
supporting the big boys”.
But, by the end of the night,
Mr and Mrs Mene were on stage,
being jointly presented the Volunteers
of the Year award.
About 175 people attended the
evening, which saw awards presented,
stories shared, and a talk
from guest speaker, Greg Turner.
“We received the award on Friday,
so we were celebrating at the
club on Sunday,” Mr Mene said.
He said there were so many
“great volunteers” as finalists, so
it came as a shock when they were
called up.
“I was quite surprised. Sally is
the club’s administrator, and I

It was very special, it’s a credit to
all the volunteers and to the club

he gave a speech “on behalf of the
club and of eastern residents”.
He said his wife was the one
who dealt directly with the city
council, during the period of time
in 2014 when it was thought the
club would close.
“Sally was always involved with
the communications between the
club and the city council when we
were fighting to keep it. She really
showed off to the city council
what we had done to retain the
course,” he said.

A FORMER Shirley Boys’
High School head boy and dux
has continued along the highachieving
path by being named
Canterbury University’s top
law graduate.
Tim Bain was head boy at
Shirley Boys’ in 2009 and,
more recently, received a gold
medal in recognition of being
Canterbury’s top law graduate.
Shirley Boys’ headmaster
John Laurenson said Mr Bain
had always been a high-flyer
and noted that he joined
the school as the top academic
entrant back in 2005.
Not only this, but he was also
awarded five scholarships during
his time at Shirley Boys’.
One was for biology, which he
achieved in year 12.
Mr Laurenson said the
ACHIEVERS
Head of the class
granting of level 4 (university
level) scholarships are given
to the top one to two per cent
of students throughout New
Zealand.
Another of Mr Bain’s
successes was when he led the
debating team to victory in the
Press Cup Debating Challenge
in 2009.
Since then, Mr Bain has
completed LLB honours.
The top law graduate award
is not given out every year, and
is only awarded when a student
is considered to have achieved
the level of academic excellence
worthy of such recognition.
Mr Bain is currently working
in Wellington as a judge’s clerk
to chief justice Dame Sian Elias.
Mr Laurenson said he thought
Mr Bain would “end up in
politics”.

Reading to Dogs
Every Tuesday, 3.30-4.30pm
Many children have difficulties
reading and become self conscious
when reading in front of
their peers. Libraries and schools
around the world have found that
by sitting down and reading to
a friendly dog, a child’s fear of
being judged or laughed at ‘over
mistakes’ disappears. Over time,
the child’s reading ability and
self-confidence improves and
they begin to associate reading
with a pleasant experience.

Fighting prejudice
• By Donna Miles
BREAKING PREJUDICES: Nada Tawfeek and her mother
Dalia Mohamed are volunteers at the Islamic Women’s
Council New Zealand.
CLOSE TO 40 different ethnic
groups represent the Muslim
community in the city.
Community worker Dr
Husaini Hafiz said that the
city’s 3250 Muslims did not
suffer from the same levels of
Islamophobia experienced by
Muslims in Europe and the
United States, but racial and
religious prejudices can exist
everywhere.
Dr Hafiz said the Canterbury
Muslim Community
Trust is building cultural and
religious bridges by reaching
out to the city’s Muslims and
the wider non-Muslim community.
“We would like to ensure
that Christchurch remains a
good place to live for all, which
means taking steps to foster
better understanding between
different groups,” he said.
Dr Hafiz said many people
assumed that the Muslim community
in Christchurch was
homogenous with the same
cultural practices and religious
beliefs.
He said, in reality, the Muslim
community in Christchurch
was very diverse.
The trust’s outreach programmes
are run jointly with
the Islamic Women’s Council
New Zealand.
ICWNZ member Denise
Jeager said the inclusion
of Muslim women in the
outreach programme was essential
to show Muslim women
had a voice and they were willing
to exercise it.
ICWNZ volunteer Nada
Tawfeek said the outreach programme
was useful to bring
about more open-minded
views of Muslim women.
“Some people were surprised
to hear a girl in hijab speak
with a British accent,” she said.
Dr Hafiz said focus groups
run in Canterbury had
identified three common
concerns amongst Muslims in
Christchurch: leadership, communication
and lack of Islamic
knowledge.
One of the trust’s goals
was to address the need for
stronger communication channels
between Muslims and
non-Muslim communities.
Last July, the trust invited
students from New Zealand
Broadcasting School to join in
the breaking of fast at the Al-
Noor mosque in Christchurch.
The invitation was a followup
to an earlier educational
session where the students
were introduced to basic concepts
of Islam and the impact
of the media on Muslims.
This year a similar educational
session was offered to
student journalists at the University
of Canterbury and Ara
Institute of Canterbury.
Office of Ethnic Communities’
general manager, Maarten
Quivooy, said organisations
such as the Canterbury Muslim
Trust play a “vital role”
in educating and supporting
New Zealanders to embrace
and celebrate the benefits that
diversity brings to us all.”
Earthquake
amputee
given gift
THE LIONS Club of New Brighton
has presented a survivor of the
February 2011 earthquake with a
cheque for $500.
Stacey Herbert had both legs amputated
just below the hips after she was
crushed under a pile of concrete and
steel for eight hours in The Press building
in Cathedral Square on February
22, 2011.
After a long period of recovering, six
months ago she made contact with the
Hanger Clinic in Oklahoma, United
States.
The clinic specialises in creating
computerised legs, known as C-legs,
with unique sockets for amputees,
such as soldiers who lost limbs.
Travel, the prosthesis and rehabilitation
will cost in excess of $150,000
after ACC funded a knee prosthesis
only.
The process will take several
months. This time next year, she hopes
to be able to put on her C-legs, walk
through a mall and “blend in”.
Until she is independent again, she
is residing with her parents.
While many will acknowledge Ms
Herbert has been badly let down, it
would be a waste of valuable resources
to fight ACC.
Have you checked your
underfloor repairs?
This is the sort of ‘repair’ by both
EQC and insurers we are finding.

Bonus for New Brighton
• By Gordon Findlater
NEW BRIGHTON Club’s
Bernie Smith has ticked off
something from his bucket
list – playing against twotime
defending darts world
champion Gary Anderson.
Smith took on the eventual
winner of the event in
Friday night’s first round.
Smith was no match for
Anderson. Smith lost 6-2.
Smith’s performance was
THERE’S BEEN extra
reward for a trio of New
Brighton’s Hawkins Cup
winning squad.
Three players from the
club have been named in
Canterbury coach Scott
Robertson’s initial widertraining
squad for this
year’s national provincial
championship.
Open-side flanker Billy
Harmon, tight head prop
Oli Jager and utility prop
Carisbrook To’omalatai
will assemble with the rest
of the 28-man squad at the
end of the month to push
their case for selection in
this year’s NPC.
The three players come
from a range of different
backgrounds.
Carisbrook To’omalatai
moved to Christchurch
from Timaru three years
ago, he played his secondary
school rugby for
Roncalli College.
His father Stan played
hooker for Samoa at the
1991 Rugby World Cup.
He also represented
Otago, hence his son’s
name, Carisbrook.
The nod to his father’s
rugby career in
To’omalatai’s name doesn’t
end there. Gordon Hunter
coached Stan To’omalatai
during his time at Otago.
Carisbrook’s middle name
is Gordon.
Having made Canterbury’s
initial training
squad, the chances of
To’omalatai going on
to replicate his dad and
play provincial rugby in
New Zealand are looking
strong.
“It came as a bit of a
suprise, i never really
looked on the internet. I
got texts from mates saying
congratulations,” said
To’omalatai.
Oli Jager’s background
stretches to the other side
of the globe. Jager grew
up in Dublin, Ireland.
He played for Ireland at
school boy level, represting
his country in the
under-18 European championship.
Jager moved to
Christchurch three years
ago and is now in his
second season playing first
division metro rugby.
“I wanted to get a taste
of New Zealand rugby. I
came at the end of 2013 to
play for the colts and never
really left,” said Jager.
Billy Harmon has been a
mainstay at New Brighton,
making his way right
through the junior ranks
before playing at secondary
school level for St
Bede’s. He’s since returned
to his home club.
New Brighton recently
captured the Hawkins
Cup, winning the roundrobin
phase of the metro
competition.
It’s the first time they
have won the competition
since 2010.
“We did what we needed
to. The guys weren’t too
worried about the other
game. It’s pretty rare for
New Brighton to be winning
trophys, we’ve got
a good thing going and
were punching above our
weight,” said New Brighton
coach Scott Pawson.
The job isn’t over yet for
the club. Coach Scott Pawson’s
initial objective for
the season was to ensure
they finish in the top-six
after round-robin play,
qualifying for a crack at
the end of the year at the
Hawkins Trophy, which
they side last won in 2013.
Taking on the best
easily one of the best from
the Australasian contingent.
Smith’s three-dart
average of 83.83 was the
third best of the qualifiers.
He also hit two 180s, more
than any other Australasian
player.
On June 13, he claimed
the penultimate Australasian
qualifying spot,
assuring him a first-round
match against one of the
world’s top eight players.
Smith said he has always
wanted to play against
Anderson – and on
Thursday that became a
reality.
When the first round
was drawn. Gary Anderson’s
name was the first
to come out of the hat. An
Australasian qualifier was
then selected, and Smith’s
name was pulled out,
setting up the fairy tale
match.

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of dampness
in your house
noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its
way, home owners are focusing on ways to make
their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for
their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP
is an issue that affects many of our older properties
which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In
Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people
have relocated to homes that suffer from rising
damp which can be associated with health
problems. Independent tests have shown that
up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground
and enter a house every day, leading to mildew,
mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds
can produce various allergic reactions and the frail,
elderly and very young are especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally
owned and operated firm. The team understands
the problems caused by rising damp and are there
to help. They will come to your damp home and
pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under
your timber floored home. Specially adapted for
our new Zealand conditions and applications
it provides a layer of protection against rising
moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at
Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently,
is that many owners of properties which had
underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it
also provided protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.

outside as well as circulation of air within the
building. It is one of the most important factors
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in
buildings.
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In case
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,
smells, humidity and harmful substances are not
removed.
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a
high content of dust and tobacco smoke are
harmful and can cause various diseases. even
bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the
nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open
windows for cross ventilation, however as winter
approaches, we start to shut up out houses to
trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can
decline.
It is therefore very important to ensure good
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

ExcEllEnt EmploymEnt prospects

to attract talented students to the world of
nursing.

graduates find employment after graduation
– that’s new Zealand’s highest nursing
graduate employment rate. Ara prides itself
on consistently reaching the top place.
So what makes Ara nursing graduates so

health centres and aged care facilities. Ara
continues to develop innovative work-based
training that help prepare graduate nurses
for the real world of work.
Executive Director of nursing at
canterbury District Health Board (cDHB)
mary Gordon says the sector is closely
involved with nursing training at Ara
providing clinical placements for nursing
students, employing new graduate nurses
across the canterbury health system,
supporting nurses to undertake graduate
and post graduate education. nurses within
the canterbury health system are very
committed to supporting the training and
development of Ara nursing students. “These
students are our future nursing workforce.
They will be our future nursing educators
and leaders who will be shaping the health
system for the future.”
Head of nursing at Ara, cathy Andrew,
says nursing training is aligned to industry
conditions and the demands of modern
nursing. “We have excellent relationships
with clinical agencies and work closely
together to provide learning experiences
that are positive for students. We are seen as
national leaders in innovative clinical models
of learning and regularly receive feedback
that our graduates are actively recruited by
employers throughout new Zealand.”
march 2016 graduates of the Ara Bachelor
of nursing programme achieved a 90.3%
employment rate. They are out there working
in the sector in a variety of roles across the

5 TIPS
for optimal NutritioN
The degree to which your body is
nourished with optimal nutritional choices
will have a profound effect on your overall
health and wellbeing. It will influence your
energy levels, your mental wellbeing, your
ability to burn fat, and the strength of your
immune system, among other things.
One of the most outstanding figures in the
history of medicine was the greek physician
hippocrates. he sums up the importance of
optimal nutrition choices in one line: “Let
food be thy medicine and medicine be thy
food.”
With winter upon us, now is a great
time to focus on increasing the number
of positive choices when it comes to
nourishing our bodies with great nutrition.
Base yOur nuTrITIOnaL regIme
arOund WhOLefOOds
Think nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables,
pulses and meat. make choices in these food
groups that are as close to the original food
as possible. This helps ensure the vitamins,
minerals and other nutrients
are still intact. for example, raw almonds
instead of roasted and/or salted ones.
ChOOse OrganIC
Organic farming places the utmost
importance on caring for the soil because it
forms the basis for health, for all life forms.
healthy soil encourages disease-resistant
plants, which then transfers to the animals
and people who consume those plants. By
choosing organic, you are opting for food
that has been grown without the use of
synthetic pesticides and without the routine
use of antibiotics.
drInk WaTer
your body can survive a surprisingly long
time without food, but it won’t last more
than a few days without water. Optimal
hydration is critical to ensure our muscles
and nerves function properly, and even mild
dehydration can lead to feelings of lethargy.
how much
to drink? The answer is quite simple – drink
until your wee is clear or almost clear. That’s
an easy way to measure whether you’re
getting enough.
Take TIme TO pLan and prepare
fOr eaTIng WeLL
It takes time and preparation to change your
habits. schedule out time to write shopping
lists, shop for food and prepare meals. plan
to eat before you shop to minimise the
chance of giving in to temptation foods –
or shop online to minimise even further.
make bulk meals to freeze for busy nights
and set aside time to prepare a packed
lunch the night before. keep useful kitchen
items in easy-to-reach places – for example,
put the blender on the bench rather than
in the cupboard so that healthy smoothie
preparation is quick and easy.
Change OnLy One smaLL ThIng
aT a TIme
you may feel overwhelmed by wondering
where to start improving your nutrition.
make one small, achievable change and once
that becomes a habit (something you can
do without a major effort), then focus on
something else. small changes are the key to
success. for example, instead of saying “I’m
only going to eat wholefoods from now on
and forever,” instead make your target more
realistic such as, “I’m going to increase to
eating at least four different vegetables per
day, on at least five days every week.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Olive Leaf Extract
Nature’s Extraordinary Immune Support
As fAr ago as 1927 Doctors used olive leaf
to reduce fevers and knock out malaria.
scientists have discovered olive leaf contains
powerful nutrients that directly interfere and
even destroy nearly every type of disease
causing micro-organisms including bacteria,
fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even
yeast infections. As well as this olive leaf has
immune enhancing benefits by activating
immune cells that fight infection. for these
reasons it has become a popular tonic herb
that can be used to keep the immune system
strong as well as when need to dramatically
speed up recovery of conditions like colds
and flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes,
shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections,
and much more. It has also been found
beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome,
low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical
diseases, two types of leukaemia and even
some cancers. In many chronic health
conditions the immune system is run down
and it is easy to have complications that are
often life threatening. Olive leaf may be a
safe and very effective option to boost the
immune system and allow the body to have
more energy to help heal itself.
Olive leaf has also been found to be
an effective cardiovascular tonic helping
normalise high blood pressure, improve
cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat
It Is well known how important omega-3
fatty acids are to good health. It is
estimated most people don’t even get a
third of the recommended omega-3 fatty
acids on a weekly basis. Countries with a
higher amounts of omega-3 in their diet
are known to have lower cardiovascular
disease and, in many cases, better overall
health.
recent research has shown inflammation
to be a big part of disease and the ageing
process.
fish oil can help reduce inflammation by
providing essential fatty acids required
by the body to heal itself and maintain
good health. Until now most fish oil
only contained omega-3 fatty acids in
triglyceride form. fish, however, naturally
contain omega-3 in triglyceride and
phospholipid form but until recently the
phospholipid form was lost due to the
manufacturing process.
GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new
irregularities, and improve blood flow and
vascular disorders.
Olive leaf extract is so effective that too high
a dose initially may make you feel worse. This
is due to too many micro-organisms dying
quicker than the body can process these dead
organisms. This side effect can be minimized
if you follow our protocol on dosage. Also
drinking water and herbal teas especially
raspberry leaf can be quite effective. further
information on the amazing benefits of olive
leaf and how it can be effectively used is
available from our Medical Herbalist or our
Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health
& Natural Therapy, 110 seaview road, New
Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are Always
Happy to Help!
GO-Advanced Omega-PC
standards in fish oil as it contains
omega-3 attached to both triglycerides
and phospholipids. studies have shown
GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better
absorbed, leading to increased levels of
vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs
through giving the potential for more
health benefits.
GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced
from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish
using a new advanced and more natural
cold extraction process that better
preserves the natural nutrient profile found
in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP
standards and is molecularly distilled to
remove any containments, toxins and
heavy metals.
further info on this revolutionary new
fish oil and its benefits is available from the
Natural Health Advisers, Naturopath and
Medical Herbalist at Marshall’s Health &
Natural Therapy in New Brighton, phone
388 5757. We are always happy to help!

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal!
ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good
Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used!
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!
Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally
contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the
manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better
preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with
increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS:
• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as
shown in research
• Advanced new cold extraction better
preserves the natural nutrient profile
found in fish
• Naturally contains phospholipids to
support cellular health
