Call for new
bus stops
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
LINWOOD residents are
angry that two major bus
stops in their area have
been overlooked while
others around the city are
being upgraded.
Bus patrons are keen to
see the stops receive the
same upgrades as those
at Westfield Riccarton
and Northlands Shopping
Centre.
A city council spokeswoman
said the Buckleys
Rd bus stops, outside
Eastgate Shopping Centre,
were the fourth most used
in the city in terms of
passengers boarding and
departing buses, between

The three most popular
were the city centre interchange,
the Riccarton

Northlands’ hub, she said.
Bus user Chris Minogue
said he wanted to see a
Northlands-style bus
shelter installed at the
stop across the road from
Eastgate.
“It needs to be longer,
sheltered, and without
glass that can be broken.
There’s no point in having
glass windows because
they’re broken every time I

Community Board chairwoman
Sara Templeton
said a bus stop with so
much use should be high
on the city council’s priorities
for an upgrade.
“We’ve asked the new
transport committee or
the city council to look at
all options for putting in a
covered, integrated bus hub
in the area. There’s a nice
one at both Riccarton and
Northlands, and we want
the same here,” she said.
Mrs Templeton agreed
with Mayor Lianne
Dalziel, who last week
said she had an issue with
the little control the city
council had when it came
to public transport in the
city.

Community centre stalled
• By Siobhan Watson and
Andrew King
THE NEW Shirley
Community Centre will not
receive funding from a church
after a community board
elected to reject its proposal.
The Crossway Community
Church proposed to the
Shirley-Papanui Community
Board that a collaboration between
the church and the city
council be used to fund and
maintain the new centre.
The board rejected the proposal
with a 4-3 vote at a recent
meeting.
Church secretary Pat White
said although they were disappointed
with the outcome, they
have other options in place for
the church’s location.
“It would have been nice to
get an answer sooner than this
. . . but that is the way it is, now
we just have to move on,” she
said.
Board chairman Mike
Davidson said he was “uncomfortable”
with the level of
investment needed by the city
council to make it work with
the church.
“The council would need to
invest around $1.5m for the
building itself and further
funding for land remediation,”
he said
He said it was possible the
required funds could top $2m.
“That would be a lot of
money to spend on a centre
in partnership with a church
. . . I don’t have any problem
with the organisation, I am just
uncomfortable about the level
of investment,” he said.
Cr Pauline Cotter also shared
this sentiment, saying she was
not happy with the terms of the
agreement.
She said the proposed
amount of funding contributed
by the city council and the
church seemed to be 50/50, but
the ownership was not equal.
The plan now is to replicate
some of the learnings the board
had while getting the St Albans
Community Centre off the
ground.
“It will probably start with a
working party to find out what
the community wants and
needs. From there, things start
to take off pretty quickly,” Mr
Davidson said.
He could not give a definitive
time frame around when
a working party would be
formed, but the board is looking
at its options to start sooner
rather than later.
STILL WAITING:
The Shirley
Community
Centre will not
be a joint venture
with a local
church, as the
community board
has decided it is
not in the best
interests of the
community. (Left)

FROM FIJI
McMaster & Heap
Veterinary practice
Thought I’d write a slightly different
article….
I’m in Fiji for ITF tennis with my son
Dylan for 2 weeks and I’ve never been
to Fiji before. An interesting, warm place
with splendid people. I’ve met some
great folk and seen some great tennis
and seen plenty of animals I so want to
help. We have had our share of ups and
downs on the tennis
court ( cramping
and a pulled
hamstring) and at our
resort ( leaking air
conditioning units,
power cuts, no Wifi
as promised), but
all has been sorted
eventually and has
made for a real travel
experience, one I’ll
never forget.
We are a reasonable drive from the tennis so
it’s been a 45 minute car drive filled of daily
adventures. We have had goats and cows just
traverse the road in front of us, speeding cars
and then ones that sit at 35km/hour and you
can’t pass them as passing lanes are rare. We
have seen a road traffic accident with fatalities
sadly. Fijians just
aim casually along
the sides of the
roads waiting to be
picked up for work
or getting places on
foot. Everyone looks
happy and relaxed in
sparkling clean attire,
yet there is brown
dust everywhere that
infiltrates everything.
The school children
look fantastic in
often starched
white uniforms and
clamber on the open
aired buses, arms
hanging out the
sides, laughing. The drivers are hugely
considerate, almost dangerously so,
slowing right down to let cars cross in
the middle of a busy open road. No
one is in a hurry and everyone is up and
rearing to go at 6.30am, waiting to be
picked up for work. Not many people
here own cars and taxis are everywhere.
The dogs touch my heart though. There
are so many that aimlessly wander all
over the place – in towns, sides of roads,
the tennis center and outside homes.
No one takes responsibility for them as the
breeding is rampant and out of control. None
are desexed so there are puppies everywhere.
They are scarily thin, bloated with worms,
crawling with fleas and ticks and hungry. They
still manage a tail wag though and I’ve even
managed to pat a few. I’m feeding them bread
and one square meals and they are so gently
accepting food. Many of them have sores all
over their bodies, no hair and many are feeding
puppies. Ive hardly seen any cats, except ones
that have unfortunately been squashed on the
roads. The grazing tethered cows look friendly
but on approaching them, they show me the
whites of their eyes and lower their heads to
charge. I have met a local Fijian Architect who
is building a Veterinary Hospital In Nadi, funded

by a wealthy
American couple
who want to help
the companion
animals here.
There is a small
SPCA clinic in
Lautoka but no
surgeries can be
performed there.
The only clinic is in
Suva where short
anaesthetics can
be performed. I
think Steve and
I would be keen
to come back
here and offer our
expertise and help these animals and
train some of the vets here. We’d bring
equipment and supplies with us next
time.
I have befriended a fantastic group of Fijian
children at the Lautoka tennis club. They are
aged between 7 and 12 years of age and get
tennis coaching for free on Sundays, racquets
and balls provided by the club. None of them
have shoes to play in, most are from very poor
families and tennis is an expensive sport. I
went out and bought 10 pairs of sports shoes
of different sizes for them
to be kept at the club and
used for the children that
need them. They were all
so grateful. Dylan is back
in August so I’ll send back
most of the boys old tennis
tops for the kids to enjoy
playing in. If they progress
at tennis it could be a way
out for these children.
I won’t
forget my 2
weeks here.
Everybody
thought I
wouldn’t like
Fiji at all, but
the openness
and genuine
friendliness
and interest
shown
by these
people have
made this
experience
one I’ll never
forget. I feel
Steve, Isaac
and I can make a difference to these people in
educating them on respecting and caring for
their pets, when we next return. It makes you
really realize how priviledged and wealthy we
all are. Giving back a little feels good.
Just an update on Indie, the White German
Shepherd, who managed to deliver 8 little
wriggley white pups on her own ( 6 boys and
2 girls) on 16th June. All are doing well, she is
an exceptional mother and my friend Mala
is realizing how big a responsibility and job
breeding is. All pups have homes – 6 will be
staying in Christchurch and 2 heading North.

Critical thinking shortage
Kennedy’s
Bush
resident
Graham
Townsend
writes this
week’s
opinion piece about
the lack of critical
thinking when it
comes to topics such
as climate change
I’ve spent a lifetime
teaching science.
If you define science to
include critical thinking,
I count the efforts of New
Zealand as a total failure.
Why?
Because critical thinking
is the ability to examine
evidence and conflicting
claims without allowing
prejudices or personal
interest to intrude.
And critical thinking,
sadly, is in seriously short
supply today.
This is what the
pioneering psychologist
William James meant
when he said that “A great
many people think they
are thinking, when they
are merely rearranging
their prejudices.”
An example: climate
change.
Comment threads and
twitter feeds are full of unsupported
prejudice rather
than fact.
“Climate change is not
happening”; “scientists
are all lying to get more
funding for their research”;
“climate always changes,
it’s not our fault”; “we are
due for a new ice age so
climate change is good”.
People who post this
rubbish ignore that fact
that science is a merciless
process of critically analysing
both the raw data and
the predictions made from
them.
I invite any lay-person
who thinks they can do
better to submit their own
analysis to the global science
community.
Fame and possibly fortune
awaits you if you can
prove the current consensus
wrong.
So why do these denier
memes refuse to die?
Simply because we can’t
face the conclusion that we
PEGASUS POST
– all of us – are changing
the climate.
That unpleasant fact hits
at the heart of our whole
lifestyle: our love affair
with cars, jet skis, quad
bikes and flying.
So the hands go over the
ears and we start coming
up with excuses and lies.
Let me state this clearly:
every major national science
academy around the
world has examined the
evidence and they are all
seriously concerned.
So what do we do?
Individual actions are
not enough – we need policy
changes at a national
and international level.
Politicians generally follow
public opinion – they
will do nothing until we
demand action.
And that won’t happen
until enough of us face the
truth.
That brings me back
to education and critical
thinking.
H.G Wells famously said
“Human history becomes
more and more a race
between education and
catastrophe”.
That’s never been truer
or more urgent than today.
Use your vote wisely.

Rise in water quality
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
A SOUTHSHORE community
leader says improvement in water
quality around the estuary is a
step in the right direction.
New data has been released by
Environment Canterbury showing
gradual improvements in
water quality for sites on the east.
The report showed the quality
of water for the last year at high
tide in Caspian St, Penguin St,
South New Brighton Park, Sandy
Point, Humphreys Drive,
Beachville Rd jetty, Ferrymead
Bridge, Shag Rock, and Cave
Rock.
Each site was given a very poor,
poor, fair, good, or very good
score, depending on the contents
of the sampled water, some of
which included bacteria, faecal
matter, chlorophyll a, and many
other contaminants.
Caspian St was one of the best
of the five eastern sampled sites,
with a score of 74.6 out of 100.
South Brighton Residents’
Association chairman Hugo
Kristinsson said it was a step in
the right direction.
“The water quality in this area
has improved, but that improvement
is not man made. It has
solved some problems but generated
others that haven’t been
dealt with. There are a lot of steps
IMPROVEMENT: Water samples from Caspian St and Penguin
St in South New Brighton are the pick of the bunch, according
to new data.
to be taken further down the
line. There needs to be sustainable
planning,” he said.
Author of the report Lesley
Bolton-Ritchie said sites on the
south side of the estuary like
Beachville Rd jetty would always
have a higher score than sites on
the north and eastern banks.
“The closer to the estuary
mouth you are, the more tidal
influence there is. It’s healthier
for aquatic life on the other side
of the estuary, and also for swimming,”
she said.
Mrs Bolton-Ritchie said the
Penguin St site was on the rise as
well, due to its proximity to the
estuary mouth.
“Penguin St is pretty good, just
because it’s closer to the river
mouth . . . the only one of those
sites that isn’t that flash is the
South New Brighton Park site,”
she said.
Penguin St was rated the highest
eastern site with a score of
75.3. South New Brighton Park
got a ‘poor’ rating of 51.6. Sandy
Point had a ‘poor’ rating, and
scored 41.2. The Bridge St Bridge
scored a ‘poor rating’ of 46.
Pop up library
THE NEW Brighton Library
will be closing on August 1, but
not for long.
A temporary library will open
its doors at 60 Brighton Mall
just two weeks after the bigger
library closes its doors.
New Brighton Library is expected
to reopen early next year.
Work to be done includes
repairing the concrete columns
and floors, replacing the eastfacing
first-floor windows, painting
the exterior and putting in
new carpet.
City council community
libraries manager Erica Rankin
said the library had sustained
“moderate” earthquake damage
in 2011, but would be quickly
repaired.
“New Brighton Library is a
popular locale, certainly with
the most striking setting and
views of any library in our
network, and it’s going to be
getting the tender loving care it
deserves,” she said.
Mrs Rankin said it was
important the community had
a temporary location while the
works were being carried out.
“The New Brighton community
are incredibly engaged
library-users, and the decision
to set up shop in New Brighton
. . . means that they get that allimportant
stability,” she said.
The temporary location will
offer a small collection, including
all the usual items for borrowing,
plus eight free internet
computers. The opening hours
will be the same and pre-school
sessions will continue as normal.
Because it will take library
staff about two weeks to clear
New Brighton Library and set up
at the temporary location, there
will be a period from August 1
to 14 where no library services
will be available.

Young leader’s social equality vision
Parklands resident Josiah Tualamali’i is a 21-year-old
on the US Embassy Youth Council, the chairman of
a Pacific youth leadership group and a Canterbury
University student. Fraser Walker-Pearce talks to him
about superhero shows, how he became a leader for
Pasifika youth in Christchurch, and meeting NASA’s
deputy director
Hi Josiah. What have you been
up to recently?
Among other things, we
organised for about 280 young
people to come to the Transitional
Cathedral on June 30. It
was organised by some of my
friends and I to generate ideas
about decision-making and
just gather for some food and
a brainstorm session. It was a
really fun night with food and
ideas being shared.
Sounds good. Can you tell me
a bit about PYLAT?
PYLAT stands for Pacific
Youth Leadership and Transformation.
It’s a charitable trust that
supports young people in the
Pacific community, and helps to
make the Pacific youth aware of
opportunities in the community.
And you’re also part of the
United States Embassy Youth
Council. What exactly is that?
Canterbury University and
all universities in New Zealand
hand-pick a number of students
who are then checked by the US
Embassy. So they’re gathering
youth leaders who have access
to different communities in the
city, so the embassy can keep
the finger on the pulse of youth
groups in the city.
So do you have meetings with
the embassy often? And what
happens with that information?
They communicate what we
tell them back to Washington,
because one of Obama’s foreign
policy focuses was to do a Pacific
pivot, gathering up all knowledge
on what’s going on in Pacific
countries. The Trans-Pacific
Partnership Agreement was part
of it, but it was also about bettering
relationships with Pacific
communities. So there are 12
leaders in Canterbury for that,
and I am one of them. We have
a meeting every now and then
Previously
United Travel
with different diplomats, business
leaders and ex-pats. They
help us, and we give them our
knowledge about what’s going
on. It’s kind of cool this week on
Saturday, because we’re actually
meeting with the deputy director
of NASA, and it’s especially
cool because she’s a woman.
We don’t even know why we’re
meeting with her! It’s especially
interesting because of an event
we held last week, where we were
hoping to bridge gaps, like giving
women equal visibility, opportunities
and platforms to excel.
And now we get to meet one of
the top women in NASA. It’s a
secret meeting which we don’t
know much about. We could be
talking about Mars, we could be
talking about anything, it’s very
exciting.
What inspired you to become
a youth voice for the Pacific
community?
I think it was probably the
youth parliament that we had before
the earthquakes. It was that
others took the time to tell me
that I could make a difference. I
guess I was in the right place, at
the right time. Just good people
being around me.
How long have you been
involved with PYLAT?
I’ve been chairman for three
years now, so I started my second
two-year term last year, after I
was re-elected. Before the earthquakes
in 2010, the Pacific community
held a staged youth government
because they noticed
there weren’t many youth voices
in decision-making at the time.
And we loved it so much that
after the earthquakes, we kind
of thought, well, how do we keep
it going after the earthquakes?
So we made it into the trust it is
now. We now have 13 trustees,
with about two-thirds of that as
YOUNG LEADER: Josiah Tualamali’i at the Get FRESH ‘16
event, showing Pasifika students around Canterbury University.
youth and students, and young
professionals make up the rest.
Are you striving to see
Christchurch’s youth have a bigger
input into decision making?
Yes, absolutely, so what we say
in PYLAT is that Pacific young
people have valid information
and ideas that can be useful at
any level. That could be for the
Government, non-government
organisations, anything, but
there’s a big trust element in it.
It can be tough to trust that a
young person can have input to
these conversations, while being
respectful and articulate. I really
liked last year seeing the flag
panel had a young person on it.
You do all of this work for
youth and on boards, do you
have any spare time at all? Any
hobbies?
Yes, I really like to sing. I used
to sing in a choir, but now I just
2017 Early Birds
sing when I’m pottering around
the flat and doing things. I also
like watching TV programmes,
anything with heroes really. The
Arrow and Flash series are the
best ones and I go to the movies
a bit, too. I like to think that we
don’t need a super power to do
cool things in our community,
and it’s cool to watch the people
that we pretend we are, and do
those amazing things.
Where are you flatting for
university?
I flat in Ilam, but my family
home is in Parklands. I just went
back to my flat last night. It’s
all a bit busy, because I also do
some work on campus for Pacific
young people, tutoring them to
help them get their NCEA levels.
It’s cool to see that Canterbury
University cares about getting
them over the line and offering
those classes.
Oh right, so what subjects do
you tutor?
I tutor history, English and
drama. Those were the ones I
was quite good at during school.
It’s also a cool project because
the students can go on to tertiary
education if they want, because
they have the qualifications.
Why were history and English
your favourites at school?
I really liked understanding
why we’re at the place we are
now through our history. Also,
learning about colonisation,
racism, and all of those words
that get thrown around these
days. It’s also quite important to
me because my mum is Palagi
(Samoan word for European),
and my father is Samoan. So for
me, it was quite hard when I was
young to work out my own identity.
After all the classes in history
and English, I kind of learnt
what was right and wrong for me
through those classes. Growing
up as a Pacific person, I could
understand the benefits, and the
strengths of those people.
What high school did you
attend?
I went to Hillview Christian
School for years 9 and 10, then
to Middleton Grange School for
years 11 to 13.
And what primary school?
I actually went to primary
school in Dunedin, to Anderson’s
Bay School for the first few
years, then to Hillview for the
other half of primary.
You study history and politics
at university, so what job would
you have if you could just pick
one and start tomorrow?
I can’t give one answer to that
really. I’d want to be the CEO of
a company that works with Pacific
people and uses the knowledge
the community has taught
me. I’d want to increase the participation
and involvement of the
community. The only problem
is that I don’t know if that kind
of job exits yet. I wouldn’t mind
working in the university for a
while, and I’m enjoying tutoring
at the moment. I could definitely
see myself teaching others as
well.

Inmates help feed the homeless
INMATES FROM Christchurch
Men’s Prison have grown more
than 2300kg of vegetables and
herbs, as well as 3400 seedlings,
for a very worthy cause.
Over the past 10 months, men
from Tirohanga Paeroa Unit
have built vegetable gardens, and
grown and contributed vegetables
and seedlings to those in
need. The programme has been
undertaken with assistance from
charity group, Help for the
Homeless.
Prison residential manager
Graeme Hunter said the men
wanted to keep busy and do
something that would make a
difference for people in need in
the community.
“The new gardens seemed the
perfect way to do something

Those who work in the garden

He has been involved in the

taken on a leadership role in the

Maori offenders make up 43.7
per cent of people on community
sentences in the country.
This is the first time Canterbury
Corrections has partnered with a
health provider specifically to provide
targeted services for at-risk
Maori youth offenders.
Corrections Canterbury district
manager Lisa Joseph said:
“We are working together to
intervene and steer this group of
youth toward better health outcomes
and crime-free futures.”
Purapura Whetu chief executive
Karaitiana Tickell said its
goal was to empower tangata
whaiora (people seeking wellness).
GARDEN TIME:
Prisoners from
the Tirohanga

have built
vegetable
gardens to
grow food to
help feed the
homeless.
“I mentor others through the
practical aspects of the course
– weeding, turning soil over,

“By connecting Maori youth
to their culture, traditions and
values of our tupuna (ancestors),
we are helping them to better
understand and take ownership
of their mental, physical and spiritual
health,” she said.
It would also connect youth
offenders to health support, education,
employment, housing and
produce,” he said.
Help for the Homeless was
founded in 2014 by Amy Burke,
of New Brighton, who saw
homeless people hungry, cold, or
going through rubbish bins in
Christchurch.
“Produce from the prison
gardens is delivered to [Help for
the Homeless] cooks who create
dishes for our locals,” Ms Burke.
“We also provide support to
the recently housed, including
youth and any family going
through hardship. This filters to
schools and community organisations,

The 3400 seedlings, grown as
part of the NZQA horticulture
course, were given to the charity
for their ‘recently housed’ homeless.
This will enable them to learn
to live off the land, too.

Ms Joseph said: “It makes sense
in terms of both our services to
take the opportunity – while
these youth are on sentence – to
connect them with good health
practices and to also look at addressing
some of the lifestyle and
health issues which may impact
their offending.”
AFTER YOU FEEL

CHANCES ARE
YOU CHECK THE
GEONET APP
GeoNet helps us all to make
our communities safer.
We live in the shaky isles and that means we need a high-tech
monitoring system to detect and measure geological hazards
like earthquakes.
Fifteen years ago, the Earthquake Commission collaborated
with GNS Science to create the world leading GeoNet system.
Today, its skilled team uses a network of more than 600 sensors
across New Zealand to detect, analyse and respond to
earthquakes, volcanic activity and other geological hazards.
The successful partnership between EQC and GNS continues
to thrive. EQC currently provides around $12 million a year in
funding. In turn, GeoNet data helps EQC to assess the risks
from natural hazards, and that helps keep Kiwi household levies
affordable at 15c for every $100 worth of cover.
GeoNet informs New Zealanders about natural hazards.
Its data is vital to many diverse users from power providers and
air traffic controllers to forest owners and insurers. The quality
and availability of GeoNet data also attracts some of the best
brains in the world, giving a boost to local research that would
otherwise not be possible.
GeoNet is part of EQC’s research and education programme.

Self help for
knocks, sprains and strains
Knocks, bangs, strains and sprains are part of normal day-today
life, especially with sport and recreational activity.
DOING tHE right things early (within the
first 48 hours) can often settle mild injuries
without the need for further treatment – or
at least minimise tissue damage, giving your
recovery the best start.
The acronym for self treatment,
RICE, is the way to remember what to
do. REst (stop using the injured part),
ICE (use an icepack for 20 minutes to
reduce swelling, inflammation and pain),
COMPREssION (use a bandage or wrap
around a joint or limb to help control
swelling, ELEVAtION (where possible
lift up the injured part to help control
swelling).
Often, over-the-counter, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatories (NsAIDs) and
paracetamol can be helpful as well. Be
careful to follow the dose advice on the
packet or check the website healthinfo.
org.nz to see whether or not they will be
suitable for you.
Equally important is to avoid things
that will make it worse.!
Remember HARM; HEAt (avoid
heating the part this increases swelling
and inflammation), ALCOHOL (alcohol
will increase bleeding and inflammation),
RUNNING (avoid vigorous activity using
the sore part), MAssAGE (rubbing and
acute injury will increase bleeding and
swelling).
seek immediate help if you have severe
pain, are unable to put weight through
the part or if the part is deformed (bent
or grossly swollen).
For more advice check healthinfo.org.nz
or health line 0800 611 116 but remember
RICE and HARM. Why not cut out these
sections and put them on the
fridge door for handy reference.
If you have difficulty resuming activity
or if pain persists, call and see Richard or
Wendy at Physiotherapy Associates, phone
389 7196, for help in getting back to normal
levels of activity or sport.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Do Your JOINTS
Ever Hurt?
Our bOdy has a padding called cartilage,
a protective spongy coating, between all
moving bone surfaces. Cartilage allows the
joints to move freely. Cartilage however is
easily worn away or damaged with activity
but is normally being constantly rebuilt. If
the replacement and repair of cartilage slows
down the moving bone surfaces become
closer and may start scraping together. This
can eventually cause joint inflammation,
pain and reduced mobility. If it continues the
bone surfaces become rough and symptoms
worsen. This process is called wear and tear
arthritis or osteoarthritis.
researchers have found certain nutrients
may stimulate the body to produce more
cartilage and also support the healing of
connective tissue, ligaments, bone and
muscle.
GO-Healthy New Zealand has developed
a highly effective combination of nutrients
to support all areas of joint health. The
formula called Go GLuCOSAMINE
1-A-day provides well researched nutrients
like glucosamine, chondroitin, proline,
manganese and vitamin d3 to support the
formation of cartilage, connective tissue,
ligaments, bone and muscle. It is known
when the joints are inflamed they can be
very painful and this inflammation may
also slow the formation of new cartilage.
For this reason GO-GLuCOSAMINE
1-A-day also contains an effective blend of
ginger, turmeric and celery to help reduce
joint inflammation and pain. Inflammation
may be further reduced by also taking a
therapeutic amount of high purity fish oil or
krill oil.

Are You Magnesium
Deficient?
MINErALS ArE the building blocks
of good health. Some minerals are only
needed in trace amounts where others like
magnesium are needed in much larger
amounts and on a regular basis to prevent
deficiency and maintain optimum health. A
large number of us do not obtain sufficient
magnesium from our diet and may notice
some of the common signs of deficiency.
Some of the more common symptoms that
may be caused by insufficient magnesium
are: leg and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle
pain, muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors
of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor
sleep, raised and/or unstable blood pressure,
poor circulation, irregular heartbeat,
shortness of breath, swallowing problems,
dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation,
irritability, seizures, poor concentration and
many more.
Although many young people now show
signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms
generally worsen as we age due to our
digestive system being less efficient. Taking a
magnesium supplement of sufficient strength
may be a sensible option to top up our
vital magnesium levels. Not all magnesium
supplements however are well absorbed by
everyone. Luckily a new marine sourced
magnesium has been found that offers good
levels of absorbable magnesium as well as
many trace nutrients that are low in the
diet but essential for good health. Further
information is available in store from our
natural health advisers, naturopathic doctor

Cold weather a pain?
Say goodbye to aching joints!
EvEr NOTICEd your joints aching
more in winter? Studies show a strong
relationship between cold, damp days and
arthritic pain. Can the elements really
make joints ache?
In cold weather the joint capsules swell,
causing pain, stiffness and inflammation.
The soft tissues around the joints are less
pliable so joints feel tight and sore.
Sitting still is bad news for your joints.
Exercise helps lubricate them to prevent
pain. So wrap up, keep your joints warm
and move!
Too cold out? Exercise indoors with lowimpact
moves. Try yoga or Tai Chi and use
the Aircycle circulation booster to warm
joints, keeping them flexible and strong.
In the cold, our body restricts how much
blood it sends to extremities. Our hands
and feet get cold and our joints get less
blood.
you can strengthen joints at any age.
Keep warm through moving and keep
your circulation boosted. The Aircycle
circulation booster warms hands and feet
and strengthens muscles and joints for
improved balance and mobility.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Christchurch School of Music
the ChriStChurCh School of Music
is a family-oriented community aimed
at providing quality music education in
and around Christchurch. in 2015 CSM
celebrated 60 years of teaching children to
love and appreciate music so why not join
us and become a part of the next 60 years?
CSM is a not-for-profit organisation
with a strong focus on community. On
a Saturday morning the whole family
can find something to suit. Preschool
children can start their musical journey by
joining in our experiential “take Orff with
Music” while older children and adults
may opt for group or individual lessons
on a specific instrument (including voice).
Those who already play are welcome to
join in one of the great ensembles which
all take part in regular concerts including
Saturday soirees and the popular annual
Showcase Concert. Recitals where
individuals can perform are also held
regularly.
CSM also provides a comprehensive
music education to participating primary
schools via its Outreach programmes.
With programmes offered in band, strings,
recorder and ukulele in a wide range of
Christchurch schools this is an area of the
School, which has grown fast over the last
few years.
Another area that has grown rapidly
over the last few years is the Late Starters
programme where adults approaching
retirement with more time on their hands
have really enjoyed learning an instrument
they never had the chance to play in their
early years and join an ensemble with
other like-minded adults.
if Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also
offers a range of weekday opportunities for
learning and playing music.
if affordability is an issue, CSM may be
able to offer a discount through funding
provided by the rata Foundation.
Please contact us via our website www.
csm.org.nz and let us start you on a
musical journey that will bring pleasure
for a lifetime.
Ensuring a safe work place
LeArninG FirSt aid is not only a part
of ensuring a safe work place, but also
an integral part of our engagement with
the wider community. We all learn the
necessary skills to ensure that in times of
emergency we are able to assist our work
colleagues, but are we able to take these
skills home, into the community or on to the
sports field?
not all work places are the same and
the injury risk for each place can be wide
and variable. The office attended by
administrators does not carry the same
risk as those people working with heavy
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from
a regular ambulance service. it is therefore
essential that you pick the right first aid
course to suit all of your activities – both
professional
and social.
take, for example, an office worker who
does not have a high risk work environment
and whose concern might be to ensure that
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial
injuries, or the ability to perform effective
CPr. These skills can be achieved on a
course of eight hours duration and would
generally fit into low to medium risk area.
But take this same person on to a sports field
either as a spectator or player when a higher
level injury occurs. The eight hour course
covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or
26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck
and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia
and poisonings.
The majority of injuries occur outside of
the work place, in fact one in three injuries
occurs in the home, making it the most
common place for injuries to happen.
new Zealand children are twice as likely
to die through injury as children who live
in Australia. They mostly die as a result of
motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home.
Fatalities from leisure and sport are not far
behind those in the workplace.
The wider 12 hour course teaches the
additional unit standard 6400 and provides
a wide knowledge base for medium to high
risk environments. This course covers many
of the skills required to deal with the most
common injuries, such as falls (which can
result in head neck and spinal injuries) and
dealing with complex scenes such as motor
vehicle accidents.
if you are not sure on the course best
suited to your needs, ask your accredited
first aid training provider. They can explain
the course content and give you options that
will best suit your needs. Look beyond the
workplace and consider your family and
your location. Check that you have a good
quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with
replenished items, and that everyone knows
where it is located.

VeNtILAtIoN
This includes both the exchange of air to the
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.

Computing For Free - still going strong after 15 years
Ara Institute of Canterbury (formerly CPIT)
has provided free computer courses at four
hubs across Christchurch for over 15 years.
Now, it is evolving to better connect a wide
variety of learners with accessible training for
basic computer skills or upskilling to improve
career opportunities.
Computing For Free manager Peter Nock
says that over 19,000 people have accessed
free or affordable training so far. “Originally
we offered short, non-assessed computer
courses as the government saw the need for
adults to upskill in this area. We created a
friendly and welcoming place to get started
on computing skills, and we still do this, but
now we also do a whole lot more.”
At hubs in New Brighton, Bishopdale, Hornby,
Rangiora, Christchurch’s Madras Street and
now also in Timaru, Ara staff continue to
support community learning needs through
Computing For Free.
We help people
get to where they
want to go.
further skills for their particular job or to take
the next step in their career.”
The course timetables are designed to
be flexible to fit around family and
professional commitments.
“Our approach works,” Peter says. “We
consistently deliver quality and receive
excellent student feedback. We help people
to get where they want to go.”
Peter Nock
Computing For Free Manager
“There is still a range of self-paced, short
courses of between 20 to 40 hours to
introduce people to specific programs like
web design and Powerpoint. However, we
also offer business and job-seeking courses,
and the National Certificate in Computing,
which is a formal qualification that employers
recognise and value.”
The courses are facilitated by tutors who are
on-hand to provide support. “Our staff are
passionate about the courses they teach and
the communities they teach in, providing a
really great experience for our students.”
Computing for Free is offered through
Ara Connect, which introduces learners
across the Canterbury region to skills that
are industry-relevant and designed to help
achieve career goals.
Peter adds that computer skills are a
necessity in today’s professional environment.
“Everyone needs to know their way around a
computer and some people need to acquire

Upskilling leads to teaching role
Jo Harkerss had reached a crossroad in
her life when she enrolled in a Computing
For Free programme at Ara Institute of
Canterbury’s Bishopdale hub. Now she is a
computing tutor helping others to succeed.
Why did you first enrol in
Computing For Free?
I was on maternity leave when I was made
redundant from my job. Both my sister and
my mother were enrolled at the New Brighton
hub – that’s how I found out about it. I’ve
always enjoyed computing and I wanted to
use my time wisely to upskill myself.
What are you doing now?
I’m working as a tutor at Computing For Free!
What do you enjoy about your job?
It’s very cool helping other people to succeed.
The hardest thing is for people to walk in the
door. Then they realise that we are really nice!
And that they can do it. You see people come
in who feel afraid of computers, but we are
here to help them to achieve. Study is not easy
for everyone, but our programmes have a
good balance of theory and practice, plus the
programmes are self-paced to fit around other
commitments such as work and family.
For many people it is a huge stepping stone.
They may have been made redundant or been
out of the workforce after having children.
Here they can connect with other people and
learn new skills that will make them more
employable and give them confidence to
try other things too. They might have used
computers in the past, but programmes
change and skills need to be updated.
What sort of feedback do you get?
Because we’re like a family, once people
have finished their studies here, they come
back and tell us what they’re doing. Our
programmes lead into further computing
studies at Ara, or they can help you to find
work. I think most importantly,
our students get a taste of what they’re
capable of. They develop computer skills but
they also develop confidence and brush up
on the soft skills, such as communication
and networking, that employers value in
today’s workplaces.
We’re here to help make your enrolment easy. Please call, email or visit our website for more information.
