CITY TO SEA: An artist’s impression of the proposed
Avon-Otakaro Forest Park.
Pioneering
family offers
to buy some
red zone land
TOP OF THE SCHOOL: After five years of hard work and dedication to their schoolwork, Sean
Takai from Shirley Boys’ and Hannah Everingham from Marian College were awarded dux of
their schools for their efforts. Shirley and Marian held their annual senior prizegiving evenings
last week, celebrating the high achievers of the school year. Proxime accessit, or second to the
dux, was awarded to Boris van Bruchem at Shirley and Bobbi Braxton at Marian. Other notable
awards on the night were given for sports, academic, cultural and arts.

A DESCENDANT of
Canterbury’s pioneering Deans
family has offered to buy red
zone land to get the proposed
Avon-Otakaro Forest Park off
the ground – and he hopes others
will follow suit.
Hamish Monro, a great, great
grandson of John Deans, farms
in East Sussex, England.
He believed there was a shortage
of native forest in Canterbury
and wanted to build on his family’s
legacy at Riccarton Bush by
buying “at least an acre or more”
of red zone land to become part
of the forest park.
“With suitable covenants in
place the sale of parcels of land
would produce a return for the
Crown and help make the [forest
park] project self-sustaining,” Mr
Monro said.
“It is taking otherwise pretty
dubious ‘housing’ land and recreating
native, or semi-native,
woodland rather than repeat
housing which will always
be subject to flooding and other
risks.”
Mr Monro said he was yet to
raise the idea with the Government
or anyone outside the
Avon-Otakaro Forest Park group
and would not pre-empt how
much money he was willing to
pay.

PEGASUS POST
FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News.......................................3, 5
SOUTH BRIGHTON residents
have had a lot to deal with in
the past six years – earthquake
damage, flooding and coastal
erosion LIM notices.
For months now, residents
have called for the city council to
replace the emergency stopbanks
along the estuary. Not only that,
as we have reported previously,
the South New Brighton Domain
estuary boardwalk has slowly
crumbled away.
It will be then hard for some to
comprehend why on Sunday across
the estuary, a new $8 million
seawall and pathway on Beachville
Rd, Redcliffs, was opened.
There are undoubtedly some
sound reasons why a lovely seawall
is being put up around Redcliffs
while the stopbanks just get an
upgrade in South Brighton.
Doesn’t make it any easier to
swallow though.

Pioneering family offers to buy some red zone land
FOREST PARK: Avon-Otakaro’s forest park vision could become
reality with the help of the Monro family.
•From page 1
“[I] feel it should be rather less
than open market agricultural
[land] to reflect its lack of financial
productivity and the covenants
that it will have ensuring
it remains as woodland,” he said.
Mr Monro (right) said the size
of plots could be arranged to suit
purchasers, with a quarter acre
section a possible minimum.
“Some people may want to buy
back their old house sites for example,”
he said.
“The wetland area might need
to be more of a co-operative venture
with shares of the wetland
not specific areas sold.”
Mr Monro made the offer
after seeing a promotional video
for the public native forest and
wetlands which has been shared
widely on Facebook.
Regenerate Christchurch chief
executive Ivan Iafeta said it was
still too early to comment on specific
proposals for the red zone
but he acknowledged “the huge
amount of work and passion people
like Mr Monro had invested”
in their proposal.
“The source and availability of
funding is an important consideration
for future use decisions
and will need to be assessed on a
case-by-case basis,” Mr Iafeta said.

Stopbank worry still high
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
UPGRADES ARE being made
on emergency stopbanks
that line the Avon-Heathcote
estuary, but residents say it’s not
enough.
The city council is in the
early stages of designing ways to
reduce the impact of flooding in
the area, by looking to upgrade
existing stopbanks.
Previously, Pegasus Post reported
that South New Brighton
residents felt unsafe due to the
estuary’s emergency stopbanks
eroding, and have lobbied
the city council to repair and
“urgently install more” flooding
protection.
The city council is talking to
residents, and is in the early design
stages of the upgrades, but
has a budget of $30,000 assigned
to it this year, with a further $3.9
million to come next year.
The stopbanks were installed
along the Avon-Heathcote estuary
and Avon River banks under
emergency legislation by the
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery
Authority after the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
In September this year, the
Burwood-Pegasus Community
WORRY RISING: The city council will upgrade existing stopbanks this year but will not look to
install new ones until next year at least. South Brighton Residents Association chairman Hugo
Kristinsson (right) says it is a good start, but not enough.
PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN
Board received a letter from
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, saying
installing estuary stopbanks was
not budgeted for in the annual
plan. She said it would be put in
the 2017/2018 budget.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board member Linda
Stewart said it is good to see the
city council commit to work on
stop banks, but only addressing
an area south of the Bridge St
bridge is not good enough.
She wanted the areas north
and south of Bridget St covered
also.
“Yes it is a good start, no
doubt, but I’m saying it’s not
enough,” she said.
City council’s head of strategic
policy Helen Beaumont said
there will be work taking place
north of Bridge St as well, but it
is just “to maintain the existing
temporary stopbanks.”
South Brighton Residents
Association chairman Hugo
Kristinsson agreed with Ms
Stewart, and wanted to see the
city council deal to water seeping
under the stopbanks.
“It certainly helps, but I would
like to see the engineering design
and how they plan to deal
with the groundwater. In the existing
stopbanks, when it is high
tide the water almost reaches
their top and filters under them
also,” he said.
Chairwoman to push for projects
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
LOCAL BODY politician
newcomer Kim Money is ready
to shake things up on the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board.
Mrs Money was unanimously
voted in as the board’s chairwoman
last Monday.
She will look to push on with
projects like the North Beach
promenade and installing more
flood protection.
Previously, the Pegasus Post
reported that the $2.4 million
promenade project was in jeopardy,
and may not go ahead as
originally planned. It is planned
to run from the New Brighton
Pier along the sand dunes to
North Beach.
Mrs Money said she would
fight for the project to continue
and met with Development
Christchurch Ltd yesterday in
relation to the project.
In October’s local body elections,
she along with deputy
chairman Tim Sintes were voted
in. Mr Sintes received 3892 votes
and Mrs Money received 2978.
Former Burwood-Pegasus
Community Board chairwoman
Andrea Cummings received
2776 votes and was not reelected.
Mrs Money said she is “very
optimistic” about the community’s
future.
“I’ve been involved with the
community for the last 30 years
. . . we have such a creative and
wonderful community, so we’ve
got to think big,” she said.
Mrs Money aims to include
children and the youth of the
community in decision-making
in the term.
Coastal-Burwood deputy
chairman Tim Sintes said Ms
Money would do a great job as
chairwoman, and will be looking
to follow up on projects that
were started by the previous
board.
“Things like getting the South
New Brighton and Southshore
estuary edge finished, so people
can move ahead knowing their
future is secure. Basically just
finishing off what we started,”
he said.
Meanwhile, Sally Buck has
been named as the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board chairwoman.
Ms Buck, a former city
councillor for the Fendalton-
Waimairi ward, retired from
her role in 2013, and is a current
Canterbury District Health
Board member.
She hopes to promote waste
reduction while on the board
and will look to advocate on
the community’s behalf for
improvement in aquifers and
drinking water.
In Brief
FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS
Aranui’s St James School is
one of eight in the city to
be recipients of a total of $6
million of Government money
to earthquake-strengthen
school buildings. On Sunday,
education minister Hekia
Parata said the funding would
ensure a safe and comfortable
environment to learn in. The
biggest recipient was St Thomas
of Canterbury College which
received $1.8 million, then St
James at $1.6 million, followed
by St Joseph’s School with $1.3
million. The other schools all
received under a $1 million. St
Francis of Assisi School would
get $600,000, Rangiora New
Life School $311,000, St Mary’s
School, $217,000, Middleton
Grange School $150,000 and
Christchurch Rudolf Steiner
School, $22,000.
CONSULTATION CLOSES
Public consultation on the
New Brighton Hot Salt Water
Pools project has now closed.
The city council asked residents
for their opinions on what
they would like to see at the
pools, and how that may look.
Consultation was open from
October 14 until Monday
night. The city council will
now evaluate all the feedback
and make decisions in
conjunction with Development
Christchurch Ltd, based on
that.
ROAD REPAIRS
The intersection of Birchfield
Ave and Gayhurst Rd will have
a temporary road closure in
place for the next two weeks.
Residents will not be able
to access Gayhurst Rd from
Birchfield Ave. The Stronger
Christchurch Infrastructure
Rebuild Team is disconnecting
the wastewater pressure main
at the intersection of the
two roads. A one-way traffic
system will be in place heading
east towards Cheam St, and
along Birchfield Ave. Work is
expected to be completed on
November 22.

Two playgrounds – 930
students. Will it be enough?
Tens of millions are being
spent on the new Haeata
Community Campus, but
critics say there won’t
be enough playgrounds.
The onus to build extra
playgrounds may fall to the
school’s board of trustees
if the Ministry of Education
is unwilling to pay an
estimated $20,000 per
additional playground.
You said:
Janice Belgrave – It is just
a predicted roll. I will be very
surprised if they actually get
that many students, given that
students from at least one of the
closing primary schools, are not
obliged to go there and are subsequently
choosing other schools
within the area. If they need
more playgrounds/playground
equipment, they could relocate
some from the closing primary
schools, which would be much
cheaper as well as a sensible use
of resources!
Raewyn Murray – That
woman (we all know who she
is) did this – let her foot the
bill. Definitely need more than
two playgrounds or split the
playground times – that’s a good
idea.
Emma Geldard – The high
school-aged kids won’t need a
playground, just field space and
hard courts.
Heidi Meinzer – Certainly
need another playground. With
that amount of students. Or one
way they could do it is split the
playground time between the
years.
Pamela Neil – At the old
Christchurch Girls’ High School,
we had no playgrounds at all. We
coped by walking around Cranmer
Square.
FAERIE PICNIC: Faeries of all shapes and sizes gathered
at Rawhiti Domain on Sunday to have a picnic. About 300
people, pixies, elves and faeries met for pantomime stories
and songs with the Natural Magic Pirate Band, a sneak up on
the faerie game, a faerie teacup competition, face-painting
and many other fun activities. The faeries were even joined by
a group of wizards.

Linda
Stewart
New Brighton resident
Mary McCammon responds
to a recent article in
Pegasus Post about Linda
Stewart and former
Burwood-Pegasus
Community Board
chairwoman Andrea
Cummings’ post local body
election spat.
Andrea Cummings worked
tirelessly for the community,
both before and after she was
elected to community board.
To belittle her commitment is
ludicrous and, after she lost her
place on the board, cruel.
Name-calling and reputationbashing
may be the style of the
year in American politics but we
don’t want it here.
Genuine community building
is a much slower, kinder process,
and one which Andrea Cummings
knows a great deal about.

School’s fate up to bishop
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE FUTURE of Marian
College will not be decided
until a new Catholic Bishop of
Christchurch is appointed.
The diocese has been looking
at permanent options to rebuild
the school after being forced
from its North Pde site following
the February 2011 earthquake.
However, none have been set
in stone.
In a letter to the school,
administrator of the diocese
Reverend Rick Loughnan
said the decision would be
deferred until a new bishop
was appointed and further
investigations were carried out.
“We must be 100 per cent sure
of our reasoning when the final
decision is made and, with a new
bishop soon to be appointed, it
would seem appropriate for him,
with our guidance, to have input
into this final decision,” the
letter said.
Marian principal Mary-Lou
Davidson said the school was in
good heart while it waited to see
where it would be rebuilt.
“It’s an important decision.
We want one that has the best
outcome for the school.”
Last year, the diocese decided
the school would not return

to its North Pde site because it
remained at risk of liquefaction
induced subsidence and lateral
spreading.
The Bishop of Christchurch is
the proprietor of the school.
Bishop Barry Jones initiated
the process of deciding
where the school would be
rebuilt.
However, he passed away in
February.
A diocese spokeswoman said
there was no time frame for
when a new bishop would be
appointed and it was highly
confidential.
“It’s a highly consultative
process, with both lay and clergy
to find a suitable candidate.”
REGENERATION: Graham Pullman drove from Orari to
Christchurch to donate $4000 worth of tussock to be planted

Forest park support growing
HAMISH MONRO’S offer to
buy red zone land is not the only
offer of support for the proposed
Avon-Otakaro Forest Park to
have been generated by a popular
Facebook video.
The video has attracted more
than 138,000 views on Facebook
in the seven weeks since its
release.
Other offers inspired by the
video included the donation
of 1500 plants for the project
by Graham Pullman, of Orari
Nursery near Geraldine, and the
Student Volunteer Army has said
it could provide volunteers.
Avon-Otakaro Forest Park
spokesman Mark Huxtable said
it was fantastic to see people getting
behind the vision and public
support was “really important” to
the project.
Mr Pullman drove from Orari
to Christchurch to deliver the
$4000 worth of tussock to be
planted on red-zoned land.
“I think the vision [for the
park] is extraordinary,” he said.
“But most importantly it’s doable.”
He said the tussocks would
help remove sediments and nutrients
from the river and improve
stream life.
The location and timing of the
planting is yet to be determined
by the city council.

Architect helps rebuild communities
Entrepreneur Camia Young, 42, settled here
in the aftermath of the February 22, 2011,
earthquake. Fraser Walker-Pearce talks to
the American architect about her passion
for rebuilding the city
Tell me what you were doing
when you first arrived in New
Zealand?
I arrived five years ago and
was teaching architecture at the
University of Auckland. During
that time, we brought more than
1000 students to Christchurch to
help with the rebuild and I did
that until about a year or so ago.
I was flying from Christchurch
to Auckland on a Monday and
coming back on the Wednesday.
I would do that every week and I
got super tired. I loved teaching,
it was such a good time.
During your time at the university,
were you still involved
with Christchurch?
In the middle of that teaching
we did Gap Filler’s pallet pavilion,
which took place over the
course of a summer and winter.
It was up for two years, so that
was a treasure of a project. And
during setting that up, I caught
a bug – it was a good bug, but a
bug nonetheless. The bug taught
me about building communities
through building buildings. It
wasn’t about the pavilion it was
about the community around
the pavilion that made it work.
It was about a healing place for
the community to gather around
after the earthquakes.
And what after that?
Then I started a project called
Exchange Christchurch, XCHC.
X stands for exchange and CHC
is Christchurch’s airport code.
And we will be doing Exchange
Auckland, which will be XAKL
and Exchange Wellington which
will be XWLG. So there are other
initiatives coming as well. It
provides a place for people that
have lost a lot in the earthquakes,
a place to create and produce
their creative work and develop
their creative practice.
Great, so what can people see
at XCHC at the moment?
At the moment we have a
jeweller, a painter, a composer,
a few photographers, an
architectural designer and art
exhibitions that change weekly.
So would you say you’ve been
quite involved with the rebuild
of the city?
I’ve been more involved in the
social side of the rebuild more
than anything. What I’ve been
doing is learning by doing while
I’m here. This will absolutely
be a 21st century city where it’s
not so much about the next big
icon, but where the people will
come first and the buildings will
be a by-product of that. I have
confidence in the people.
Right, and where in the city
are you based?
I’m mostly at the exchange
in the central city, but I own
a place out in Lyttelton. I love
Lyttelton, but I also love Sumner,
New Brighton, places with a
cool community feel. I much
prefer the speed of small than
the big city stuff, you can get
so much more done in small
communities. I actually live up in
Mt Pleasant and I quite like that.
And you have a slight accent
there – is it American?
Yes. I was born in Colorado
and those mountains still call
to me. I’m from Aspen. It’s the
Rocky Mountains that get me.
New Zealand has a really strong
connection with nature as well.
I left when I was younger and
lived in Europe for 11 years,
studied in London, then worked
in Rotterdam (Netherlands),
Paris (France), Madrid (Spain)
and Basel (Switzerland). It was
great, I was practicing there as an
architect.
There must have been some
incredible projects in the likes
of Paris?
There was one project in Paris
– it’s the only time I’ve ever cried

when we lost a project. It still
hurts to this day. I fell in love
with it. It’s where I learned to
dream with the intent to realise
the dream. It’s easy to come up
with an idea, it’s expensive to
execute them.
I’d imagine it would be. Have
you been anywhere other than
America, Europe and New
Zealand?
I’m also a Brazilian resident.

of the sand dunes. He’s lived
without electricity for the last 25
years and now has solar power.
He’s a hippy in the middle of a
desert. So he’s my inspiration for
a lot of things.
That’s pretty incredible. Do
you have a project that, once
completed, you’ll be happy to
retire and put your feet up?
No. I don’t really have an
end-game. I love seeing positive
change. And I think we’re all
inherently creative, to see that
work done is the road and the
end for me.
Where did you spend your
school years?
Up through secondary I
was in Aspen, elementary and
high school. Then I did my
undergraduate at University
of Colorado and graduated
as valedictorian and went
on to get a masters in Los
Angeles at SCIARC, the
Southern California Institute of
Architecture. In three years, I got
two masters degrees, rather than
two and a half for one masters,
which it could’ve been. Then I
practiced architecture in Europe
for 11 years across the board
there.
Do you have any family over
here in Christchurch?
No, no family here, I fly solo.
I have lots of love, I miss them,
miss the mountains, too. But
some family has come out while
I’m here, though. Mum and dad
have been out. My sister uses
the old ‘if you don’t eat your
vegetables, you won’t be able to
go visit Aunty Camia’ on her two
kids. They’re super-excited to
visit as well.
Was it always an intention of
yours to come to Christchurch?
Not at all. I was looking for
change from working in a
corporate office. As much as I
loved my life in Europe, I wanted
to find somewhere I could do
my own thing. A friend of mine
who is a Kiwi offered to bring me
in to teach at the University of
Auckland, which was about three
months before the February
22, 2011, earthquake. Then
that entire year course became
focused on the earthquake and
on Christchurch. I had never
taught and I had never been to
Christchurch, but I was looking
for a new home and so I came
a month before the course
was due to start and I walked
Christchurch for that month and
then went up to teach the course.
I knew in that month that I
would stay here. I was looking
at a couple of other countries
around the world – Brazil,
Canada – but I couldn’t do it.
What are some of your
first memories stepping into
Christchurch post-earthquake?
It was late 2011, so it was
post-apocalyptic. I thought
immediately I was in way over
my head and I thought I was
naive in the fact that I thought
I could make a difference. But
after phoning my dad about it,
I decided I would stay. I started
really walking the city and
learning as much as I possibly
could about it. I ended up getting
my visa through the job in
Auckland and now I’m here. But
that month, it was really scary
for me because I had never seen
a crisis on that scale before and I
didn’t know what to do.
Must have been pretty
terrifying. Had you experienced
an earthquake before that?
I think I remember maybe one
earthquake when I was in Aspen,
but when I was in LA there was
a few. But nothing compared
to when I came here, and they
happened so often back then.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | NOVEMBER 2016
EQC pays $495 million in the past year to
settle Canterbury claims
EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson
The Earthquake Commission paid
out nearly half a billion dollars to
settle claims in Canterbury in the
year to 30 June 2016, its recently
released annual report shows.
The annual report includes lots of detail
about the work EQC has been carrying
out in Canterbury in the past year.
Figures in the report show that in the
2015/16 financial year, EQC paid out
$495 million in claims for the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquake sequence.
This total was made up of $441 million
for residential building claims (both for
cash settlements and managed repairs),
$46 million for residential land claims
and $8 million for contents claims.
IN THE
FINANCIAL YEAR
TO
30 JUNE 2016 EQC PAID OUT
$495 MILLION
MADE UP OF $441 MILLION
FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CLAIMS,
$46 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL
LAND CLAIMS AND $8 MILLION
FOR CONTENTS CLAIMS.
EQC has now spent $9.4 billion
(including claim handling expenses,
excluding GST) in its response to the
2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.
This sum has been financed from the
Natural Disaster Fund and by the
reinsurance cover EQC had negotiated
prior to the earthquakes.
EQC recovered about $444 million
of the cost of Canterbury claims,
largely from international reinsurers,
in 2015/16.
EQC also paid out $25 million for claims
other than those from the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquakes. This includes
$4.7 million for claims from the
February 2016 earthquakes.
AT 30 JUNE 2016,
EQC HAD
COMPLETED
REPAIRS
ON MORE THAN 67,000 HOMES,
SETTLED 187,000 CONTENTS
CLAIMS, COMPLETED CLAIMS
FOR LAND DAMAGE TO
66,000 PROPERTIES.
In Canterbury, as at 30 June 2016, EQC
had completed repairs on more than
67,000 homes, settled 187,000
contents claims and completed claims
for land damage to 66,000 properties.
“By the end of the year we aim to
have cash settled the more than
14,000 claims from the February 2016
earthquakes,” says Chief Executive
Ian Simpson.
Mr Simpson reaffirmed EQC’s ongoing
commitment to Canterbury in 2017.
“In the upcoming year, EQC will
continue to be present in Canterbury
resolving remedial requests on
properties where we have managed a
repair. There is also a range of
administrative and financial tasks to be
completed.”
AS AT 30 JUNE 2016,
EQC HAD PAID OUT
$9.4 BILLION
IN RESPONSE TO THE 2010-2011
CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES.
THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE
NATURAL DISASTER FUND
AND REINSURANCE.
Mr Simpson says that EQC has adequate
funds to continue to operate and to meet
its financial obligations and settle claims.
“There is always a high level of
uncertainty when it comes to settling
claims. For instance with home repairs,
the true extent of damage may only
become clear once repairs begin and
tradies start ripping off weatherboards
or lifting floorboards.
IN ADDITION,
AS AT 30 JUNE 2016
EQC HAD PAID OUT
$4.7 MILLION
FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE
FEBRUARY 2016 EARTHQUAKES
IN CANTERBURY.
“Because of this uncertainty, we have
built a margin into our estimates of what
the Canterbury claims will cost.
“In the event that we did need to use all
of this margin, the Crown has confirmed
in writing that it will meet its obligations
under the Earthquake Commission Act to
ensure that EQC can meet all its liabilities
as they fall due,” Mr Simpson says.
The EQC Annual Report shows that EQC
received about $280 million in premiums
and spent $210 million on expenses,
excluding claims payments and claims
handling expenses for the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquake sequence.
“Our largest expense was the $150
million in premiums for reinsurance,
which currently provides New Zealand
with access to $4.69 billion in cover
for natural disasters, once the cost of
these events exceeds the deductible,”
Mr Simpson says.
A copy of the EQC Annual Report
2015/16 can be downloaded from the
EQC website.
Canterbury students
head to Chile for
earthquake conference
Five engineering students from University of Canterbury will be
attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering
(16WCEE) in Chile this January thanks to sponsorship from EQC and
the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineers (NZSEE).
EQC’s Research Strategy and Investment Manager Richard Smith says the
sponsorship goes partway to supporting students and practitioners to
attend the conference, which is the preeminent gathering of engineers
involved in seismic resistant design.
“WCEE is to earthquake engineers what the Olympics are to sport. This
opportunity gives these students exposure to ideas and knowledge from
around the globe as well as the chance to forge international connections
that will be of value to their research and to New Zealand.
“EQC plays an important role in funding and facilitating research about
natural hazard risk. Part of that is making sure we have researchers within
New Zealand who have the capability to undertake that research.”
Mechanical engineering PhD student Jarrod Cook says the chance to
attend 16WCEE will be invaluable. “I’m exploring ways a ratcheting,
tension-only device can reduce the motion experienced by buildings
during an earthquake, and therefore limit the damage and impact to
people as well as enabling buildings to stay open after the event. WCEE is
the premier conference in earthquake engineering so this is a great way
to share my ideas, get critical feedback and see what others are doing.”
WCEE is held every four years and provides attendees with the
opportunity for a global exchange of knowledge, ideas, research
results and practical experience. As well as students from Canterbury,
EQC and NZSEE are jointly sponsoring the attendance of five students
from Auckland University and four industry representatives from across
New Zealand.
From left to right: Jarrod Cook, Pavan Aninthaneni and Amir Malek are three of
five University of Canterbury students heading to Chile for the World Conference
on Earthquake Engineering this January.

Experts restore that
“winning smile”
MEETING PEOPLE for the first time,
interacting with others on social occasions,
going for a job interview - in all these
situations your smile is the most important
part of you.
Or perhaps, on a lighter note, you
might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’
because your smile is not as attractive as it
should be, due to missing or broken teeth.
Perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture
South in Barrington, where the experts can
give you that winning smile back.
Clinical dental technician, Andrew
Johnson and associate Janice ling can
provide you with a highly personalised
experience. We have a lot of knowledge
and experience that can help guide you
through the process.
For people who have had dentures for a
while and are finding they frequently need
to buy denture adhesive to keep them in
place, Andrew advises having the dentures
relined so they will fit better. As he points
out, the money spent on denture adhesive
over 12 months would easily cover the cost
of having your dentures refitted.
Denture South has been providing a full
range of denture services for the residents
of Christchurch for over 13 years. These
services include first-time immediate
dentures, full replacement dentures, partial
plates and sports mouth-guards.
Many Denture South clients come
through word-of-mouth referral, an
indication of the level of satisfaction that’s
provided there. Coming into Christmas
we will be open and available for all
adjustments for our existing patients in the
final week, making for a great Christmas.
The friendly Denture South team.
Conveniently
located at 230
Barrington Street,
Denture South has
off-street parking.

Ensuring a safe
work place
BIG NIGHT: The Aranui Eagles picked up a number of accolades at the
Canterbury Rugby League awards.
Aranui Eagles end the
season with big awards
• By Gordon Findlater
THE ARANUI Eagles had
a night to remember at the
recent Canterbury Rugby
League awards at the
Hornby Working Men’s
Club.
A number of the night’s
major awards were taken
home by this year’s Gore
Cup champions, none bigger
than the referee plaque
– club of the year award.
In June, the club celebrated
the completion of
its new changing rooms
at Wainoni Park after
having to use a temporary
container following the
earthquakes.
The year wasn’t without
its lows. The club was in
mourning following the
death of secretary Cathy
Irwin on August 5. She
was a huge loss not only to
the club, but to the local
community.
Irwin, who also
worked with the Aranui
Community Trust, was
remembered for her work
with the club at the awards
evening. Two of Irwin’s
daughters, Cherie Rangihuna
and Shakeena Irwin,
accepted the Rochelle
MacPherson Trophy –
administrator of the year
award on her behalf.
The Eagles also had a
number of other individual
awards go their way
on the night.
Club president Alana
Hema won the RC
Reddock Trophy, the
biggest award for her role.
Meanwhile, Kahi Tipene
picked up the AG Bailey
Cup after finishing as the
top try scorer in this year’s
Massetti Cup.
The Eagles finished the
Massetti Cup round robin
in fifth place.
They then competed
for the Gore Cup, which
is contested between
the bottom four teams
following the round robin.
The Eagles defeated the
Halswell Hornets 24-16
in the semi-final and
then lifted the cup after
defeating the Celebration
Lions 26-20.

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.

An exciting career
in Automotive
Southern Institute of Technology
(SIT) graduate Janaka Liyanapathirana’s
childhood love of cars has seen him excel
to an exciting career in Automotive.
Janaka completed the Certificate in
Automotive Engineering in Christchurch
in October and, after being recognised for
his overall outstanding efforts throughout
the course, has graduated with a prized
welding helmet gifted by BOC.
“I was really surprised about the award,
it was so unexpected,” he said.
Coming to New Zealand to pursue his
dream of becoming a mechanic, Janaka
said he tried different automotive courses
around the country but only found the
right course for him at SIT.
“I was so lucky to find the right place, the
right course and the right tutors [at SIT],
from all of the other places where I tried
within NZ,”
“The best opportunity the course gave
me was the live practical experience and
institutions with proper techniques from
the tutors who are qualified and have long
term experience in the same trade.”
Janaka said he has already received an
opportunity to enter the workforce and
start his career.
“I think I have followed the right track,
by the time I finished I got a job offer from
the biggest car company in Christchurch,
so I have already planned to join them and
enjoy working with what I have studied.”
For any enquires phone 349 3645 or call
in and see us at 60 Waterloo Road.
Help your child grow
in confidence
Life skills programme for children.
Do your children lack self-confidence, or
perhaps have so much energy that they need
an outlet for it? Development through drama
is the ideal approach to teach confidence
and channel youthful energy while building
self-esteem.
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has
been in New Zealand for 32 years. This highly
regarded worldwide programme helps
students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their potential by
acting confidently and speaking clearly. This
unique, self-development programme helps
achieve invaluable life skills. The confident,
articulate child makes friends easily, accepts
challenges and new directions. Confident
children become well-rounded adults.
Our fully qualified teachers are trained
in the Helen O’Grady Drama system,
they ensure each child is encouraged
and valued in a warm, positive learning
environment. Lessons stimulate and
motivate students without the exam or
peer group pressure. Weekly class activities
include speech training, creative movement
and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre
programme encourages the development of
leadership and organisational skills. Three
terms of the year cover the self-development
programme and in the fourth term all
students prepare a performance for parents
and friends. We also offer Trinity College
London examinations as an option for
those who wish to pursue an international
qualification.
Our safe structured learning environment
values student individuality and encourages
team building. Most importantly its great
fun too!
