KEA FOR LIFE: Neil Michel has been made a life member of Linwood rugby league after<br />

decades of service.<br />

Great club man rewarded<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

WELL KNOWN rugby league<br />

identity Neil Michel has been<br />

made a life member of the<br />

Linwood club.<br />

Mr Michel’s tireless<br />

contributions at all levels of the<br />

club over many decades were<br />

acknowledged at the club’s<br />

annual meeting last week.<br />

He moved to Christchurch<br />

from Invercargill with his<br />

family when he was 12, and it<br />

didn’t take long for him to take<br />

up the <strong>13</strong>-man code with the<br />

Keas.<br />

“We moved onto Jollie<br />

St and all the kids in my<br />

neighbourhood were playing<br />

rugby league. I had only grown<br />

up playing rugby union but I<br />

picked it up straight away,” he<br />

said.<br />

The club has since become<br />

an integral part of his life. Mr<br />

Michel even met his wife Tracey<br />

through the club. Their son also<br />

played for the club.<br />

The now 54-year-old played<br />

through the grades until premier<br />

Bs and hung his boots up<br />

when he was 28.<br />

Mr Michel took on the role of<br />

club captain when he was 19 and<br />

has coached a number of Linwood<br />

youth teams. A highlight<br />

of his coaching stint was taking<br />

the same group of boys to four<br />

grand-finals from 12s through<br />

to 16s level.<br />

Revitalise<br />

group<br />

to tackle<br />

investment<br />

hurdle<br />

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

THE GROUP tasked with<br />

revitalising New Brighton has<br />

one major hurdle – private<br />

businesses are not interested in<br />

investing there.<br />

Development Christchurch<br />

Ltd chairman Bill Dwyer said<br />

the private sector was not<br />

prepared to come to New<br />

Brighton because it wants a<br />

return on its money.<br />

“The commercial core is<br />

not a vibrant retail precinct.<br />

We need to make it a place<br />

people want to go. If we look at<br />

[New Brighton’s characteristics]<br />

we can really make the retail<br />

precinct into something special<br />

and have shops you won’t find in<br />

Westfield and major malls,” he<br />

said.<br />

DCL is a city council-owned<br />

entity charged with growing<br />

investment in New Brighton<br />

as well as carrying out the hot<br />

salt water pools legacy project<br />

and the North Beach<br />

promenade.<br />

It was formed last November to<br />

oversee the projects.<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board chairwoman Kim Money<br />

said the New Brighton area “is a<br />

complex one” but she is confident<br />

the right people are in place to<br />

help rebuild the suburb.<br />

New Brighton Bin Inn owner<br />

Nikki Griffin said the hot salt<br />

water pools could be the long<br />

term draw card the community<br />

is waiting for.<br />

But DCL should focus on<br />

quick wins like fixing the whale<br />

pool playground and installing<br />

community barbecues on the<br />

beach first, she said.<br />

OUR FRONT page photo article<br />

features Neil Michel, who has just<br />

been awarded life membership<br />

of the Linwood Rugby League<br />

Football Club.<br />

It’s a well-deserved award for<br />

Neil who has put in decades of<br />

work on and off the field for the<br />

Keas. He’s one of those blokes<br />

every sports club needs – reliable,<br />

hard working and prepared to go<br />

the extra mile to help out when<br />

needed. He was a bit like that on<br />

the football field from a distant<br />

memory; I’m sure he steam rolled<br />

me a few times during tackling<br />

practise at Linwood Park. So well<br />

done Neil – well-deserved!<br />

Also today, we have great<br />

photos from New Brighton’s Santa<br />

Parade (page 6) on Saturday. It<br />

was a great event with lots of<br />

people which shows what great<br />

community spirit there is. If only<br />

the investors would come . . .<br />

Plea to replace boardwalk<br />

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

THE COASTAL-Burwood<br />

Community Board wants the<br />

city council to find a way to<br />

replace the boardwalk in South<br />

New Brighton Park once it has<br />

been removed.<br />

A city council<br />

staff report<br />

was seen by<br />

the community<br />

board<br />

last week. In<br />

it the board<br />

was asked to<br />

approve the<br />

Tim Sintes<br />

Tim Baker<br />

removal of the<br />

boardwalk<br />

and footbridge<br />

without the<br />

intention of<br />

replacing it.<br />

The board<br />

decided to<br />

agree with the<br />

staff proposal<br />

to remove the<br />

boardwalk and<br />

footbridge for<br />

health and safety reasons.<br />

However, the board asked that<br />

the $337,000 budgeted for the<br />

boardwalk remain until “a high<br />

level of consideration” is made<br />

to find options to replace the<br />

COMMUNITY FAVOURITE: The South New Brighton Park<br />

boardwalk will be removed due to health and safety reasons,<br />

but a community board is fighting for a replacement. ​<br />

boardwalk in the same position<br />

as the current one.<br />

Board deputy chairman Tim<br />

Sintes summed up the report as<br />

“great, all except for removing<br />

the boardwalk.”<br />

Board chairwoman Kim<br />

Money said the board made<br />

sure that city council staff knew<br />

a replacement boardwalk was<br />

necessary.<br />

“We made it quite clear at<br />

the meeting and want the community<br />

to know that it is unique<br />

and will be restored in the same<br />

position. This community has<br />

lost enough so I am committed<br />

to keeping it,” she said.<br />

Coastal Ward city councillor<br />

David East said: “We’ve lost<br />

enough in this ward so I’ll be<br />

voting against this.”<br />

Meanwhile, board member<br />

Tim Baker voted against the<br />

board’s resolution to replace the<br />

boardwalk and footbridge.<br />

Mr Baker said the community<br />

is expecting hot salt water pools,<br />

the Eastern Recreation and<br />

Sports Centre, the North Beach<br />

promenade and the city council<br />

to spend “millions” refurbishing<br />

Brighton Mall in the coming<br />

years.<br />

“So much taxpayer money<br />

we’re spending, and now we<br />

want this as well. But, as it<br />

always goes, we heard the ‘we<br />

don’t get anything on the east.’<br />

What we haven’t got is enough<br />

money for the car park. I’d<br />

rather see that done than the<br />

boardwalk,” he said.<br />

Avon Heathcote Estuary<br />

Ihutai Trust acting chairman Dr<br />

Kit Doudney said the group sent<br />

a letter to the board asking them<br />

to not replace the boardwalk if it<br />

was not financially viable.<br />

“From a point of view of the<br />

community, we don’t mind it being<br />

replaced, but if it was going<br />

to be out of budget, we wouldn’t<br />

want it to go ahead then,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mr Sintes said the amount<br />

needed was “about the same<br />

amount of money as you [city<br />

council] threw at that statue<br />

[Stay by Antony Gormley] in the<br />

Avon River.”<br />

In Brief<br />

BID TO EXPAND GYM<br />

The Christchurch School of<br />

Gymnastics in Burwood is in the<br />

process of creating a business case<br />

highlighting the need to expand<br />

its gym. Last week the school<br />

gave an update to the Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board and<br />

said its facility was no longer fit<br />

for purpose. The school asked for<br />

the board’s support in applying<br />

for a replacement lease and for<br />

funding assistance of $1 million.<br />

The estimated cost of the new<br />

facility is $8 million, of which $5.2<br />

million has been invested from its<br />

insurance payout.<br />

SCHOOL PATROL<br />

Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />

School has successfully applied<br />

for a school patrol outside its gate.<br />

Once police provide training early<br />

next year, the patrol will begin<br />

operating. Chisnallwood has<br />

never had a school patrol until<br />

now.<br />

SURF FESTIVAL<br />

Next year’s Duke Festival of<br />

Surfing at New Brighton Beach<br />

has been given the green light<br />

for funding from the Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board.<br />

The series of surfing events will<br />

take place in March. It has been<br />

granted $4000, although the full<br />

amount requested was $4994.<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think of Sue<br />

McKenna’s views of distractions in the classroom.<br />

Email fraser.walker@starmedia.kiwi<br />

Devices a distraction<br />

in the classroom<br />

Southshore<br />

resident Sue<br />

McKenna<br />

talks<br />

about her<br />

background<br />

in education<br />

overseas, and how that<br />

could be applied to<br />

schools in the east<br />

After many years of having<br />

been involved in education, I<br />

had a strong desire to transfer<br />

my knowledge of teaching and<br />

learning, into educational sectors<br />

from diverse cultures where,<br />

hopefully, I could make a difference.<br />

This desire became a reality<br />

when in 2009 I left Christchurch<br />

to venture into the world of<br />

international teaching.<br />

Seven years on and I can<br />

now reflect on the incredible<br />

experiences I had of working on<br />

educational reform projects and<br />

coaching and mentoring Turkish<br />

teachers in Istanbul, Emirati,<br />

Syrian and Egyptian teachers<br />

in the Middle East, Russian and<br />

Kazakh teachers in Kazakhstan<br />

and finally lecturing in English<br />

at a business school in Melaka,<br />

Malaysia.<br />

During this time I felt valued<br />

for not only imparting my<br />

knowledge and helping implement<br />

educational change, but for<br />

being a New Zealander.<br />

Here I was as a single woman<br />

from a land admired by many,<br />

totally absorbed into the world<br />

of Islam. It was a time when my<br />

strong values of being respected<br />

as a woman had to be held<br />

within.<br />

Now that I’m settled in Southshore<br />

and am working in education<br />

in Christchurch, I observe<br />

with concern the changes that<br />

have occurred over six years in<br />

the way students learn in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

The trend now is to allow<br />

students to “bring their own device”<br />

into the classroom. Sadly, I<br />

question if this change has been<br />

positive.<br />

Students seem to be totally<br />

consumed in their devices therefore<br />

creating a huge distraction<br />

from the subject they are supposed<br />

to be focusing on.<br />

Games, text messaging, emails<br />

and websites all compete for<br />

students’ attention. They appear<br />

to have lost the ability to discuss,<br />

read and challenge the views of<br />

others.<br />

Teachers in Asia and the Middle<br />

East are given guidance on<br />

how to help students develop<br />

“soft skills” needed in the global<br />

workplace of today.<br />

Students are encouraged to<br />

think critically and creatively,<br />

debate, display social graces,<br />

show cognitive or emotional<br />

empathy, manage time and work<br />

as a team.<br />

Surely these are the lifelong<br />

skills that should be embedded<br />

into the New Zealand school<br />

curriculum.<br />

Devices have a place as a learning<br />

tool, but teachers need to<br />

enforce some constraint on their<br />

use and continue to encourage<br />

students to work collaboratively<br />

with interaction happening<br />

verbally.<br />

We said:<br />

Local community<br />

board members appear<br />

divided over whether the<br />

organisation charged with<br />

revitalising New Brighton<br />

is doing its job.<br />

Linda Stewart says<br />

the Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board’s<br />

relationship with the<br />

city council-owned<br />

Development Christchurch<br />

Ltd is ‘fragmented.’<br />

But city councillor<br />

David East backed DCL’s<br />

communication with the<br />

board, and said there was<br />

no problem with it. He said<br />

he was unsure why Ms<br />

Stewart was critical.<br />

You said:<br />

Steve McLeod – They’ve<br />

been trying to revitalise<br />

Brighton for 30 plus years. Until<br />

it gets some form of shelter,<br />

people are going to head to the<br />

warmer shopping areas like<br />

the Palms etc. Surrounding<br />

areas like Aranui need a face<br />

lift as well if New Brighton is to<br />

succeed.<br />

Mat Prime – As a recent<br />

first time visitor to Christchurch;<br />

New Brighton was a<br />

shock. It felt like a deserted<br />

theme park and you sense the<br />

sadness in the whole place. The<br />

only saving grace is the pier and<br />

the brilliant public paddling<br />

pool. It was a hot day when we<br />

visited and that paddling pool<br />

was the hero of the day. I really<br />

hope they do something special<br />

for New Brighton.<br />

Betty Campion – I wish<br />

them luck, I always remember<br />

Saturday shopping many years<br />

ago.<br />

Michael Cook - When does<br />

the revitalisation start?<br />

Andrew Johnson – Build a<br />

roof from end to end.<br />

Jillian Nuth – Aranui is<br />

undergoing a facelift. A brand<br />

new school, library and brand<br />

new housing units. They have<br />

fibre internet which I can’t even<br />

get here.<br />

Final bell tolls for schools<br />

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

IT IS the end of an era for<br />

Wainoni and Avondale schools.<br />

On Friday the schools held<br />

final assemblies before they<br />

were officially shut down.<br />

They are two of four schools<br />

making way for the new Haeata<br />

Community Campus, due<br />

to open on the Aranui High<br />

School grounds in time for term<br />

one next year.<br />

The other two are Aranui<br />

High School and Aranui Primary<br />

School.<br />

Avondale was opened in 1963<br />

and had a roll of about 300.<br />

Within five years that number<br />

had jumped to about 700, and<br />

soon after it was determined<br />

that to cater for the large number<br />

of children in the area an<br />

intermediate school should be<br />

opened.<br />

Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />

was opened next door and<br />

Avondale was changed to<br />

hold pupils in year 1-6, rather<br />

Principal Mark Scown is<br />

the school’s longest serving<br />

headmaster, having overseen<br />

the school for the past 16 years.<br />

He said it was both a pleasure<br />

carry the club through a hard<br />

time, which involved losing the<br />

clubrooms on Olliviers Rd.<br />

Mr Michel’s proudest moment<br />

as president was the way the<br />

and “a bit scary” to have been<br />

involved with the school for so<br />

long.<br />

One of the previous principals<br />

current Aranui Primary School<br />

be his last game for the club.<br />

Group to tackle<br />

New Brighton<br />

investment hurdle<br />

•From page 1<br />

Last year Jolmin Holdings, owned<br />

by a group of partners from an Auckland<br />

accountancy firm, announced<br />

it was looking to invest $20 million<br />

into 40 beachfront apartments on the<br />

corner of Marine Pde and Beresford<br />

St, near the New Brighton Pier.<br />

Real Estate Institute of New Zealand’s<br />

Canterbury regional director<br />

Jim Davis said when the population<br />

starts to flow back to New Brighton<br />

it is only a matter of time before a big<br />

company “takes the plunge” and becomes<br />

the catalyst for more investors.<br />

DCL director of investment and<br />

engagement Steve Clarke said it is<br />

DCL’s job to turn prejudices about<br />

the suburb around and put a new<br />

spin on the area.<br />

“We have to create reasons for the<br />

people of the city and investors to<br />

come back to the suburb. It’s about<br />

changing people’s minds basically,”<br />

he said.<br />

One of the ways DCL plans to<br />

accomplish that is through the construction<br />

of the hot salt water pools,<br />

which Mr Dwyer said will act as an<br />

activation project to attract people<br />

back to the seaside suburb.<br />

DCL will present its case to the<br />

city council on Thursday in a behind<br />

closed doors meeting. From there,<br />

Mr Clarke said, DCL will have a<br />

“much clearer” idea on time frames<br />

and delivery dates.<br />

The festive season got off to a spectacular start with the annual New Brighton Seaside Christmas Parade on Saturday. The parade saw more than 40<br />

groups come together to entertain the crowd. New Brighton Project co-ordinator Martha Baxendell said it was very successful with the food stalls selling<br />

out. “The weather was on our side and everyone had a fantastic time at the parade and concert.” The parade, now in its 16th year, is the only<br />

suburb-organised santa parade in Christchurch.<br />

Jo Hayes National List MP based in Christchurch East<br />

I’m Jo Hayes, National’s list MP based in Christchurch East.<br />

I love being a part of this wonderful, tight-knit Christchurch East<br />

community. There’s so much going on that I just want to share a few<br />

highlights with you of what our community and Government are<br />

working on achieving together.<br />

Let’s talk<br />

Please come along and see me. I’ll<br />

be parked in my van on Friday 16<br />

<strong>December</strong> at:<br />

1) Preston`s subdivision<br />

By Marshlands School<br />

on Te Korari Street<br />

Time: 8.30 - 9.30am<br />

My Christmas wish<br />

Christmas Day is just around the corner. As I pen my wish to<br />

you all, I am reminded of the unnecessary pressure that we put<br />

ourselves under to buy the biggest and best present when we<br />

don’t need to; that we eat and drink far too much in the festive<br />

season and that we often don’t take time out to just relax.<br />

Christmas is a time of celebration: the birth of Jesus Christ for<br />

some, and a time to mark the importance of family or a break<br />

from the pressures of work life for others.<br />

As for me, Christmas is a busy time. I will head to our farm<br />

where we celebrate a number of new calves being born. I will<br />

be chief cook and bottle washer on Christmas Day.<br />

“I want to wish you all a safe Christmas and safer<br />

New Year. Look out for my Christmas card coming<br />

your way soon.”<br />

Supporting New Brighton<br />

We’re all sick of<br />

road cones, but<br />

none more than<br />

New Brighton<br />

businesses who<br />

came to my office<br />

concerned about<br />

the one-way<br />

system on Pages<br />

Road diverting<br />

traffic away from<br />

the area and<br />

causing financial<br />

stress. I met with<br />

Christchurch<br />

Transport<br />

Operation Centre (COTC) who talked with SKIRT. Their crews<br />

will work longer hours, intermittent nights and weekends to get<br />

two way traffic happening by 16 <strong>December</strong> - a week earlier<br />

than expected and in time for Christmas shopping.<br />

A big thank-you to CTOC and SKIRT. Now, let’s all support our<br />

community by shopping local this Christmas.<br />

Overhaul of Family Violence Laws<br />

Each year at this time, family violence escalates as pressure to<br />

pay Christmas bills mounts.<br />

The Government has worked on reforming the legislation<br />

around family violence as it reviews the 20-year-old Domestic<br />

Violence Act. Ministers and departments across 16 different<br />

portolios are working together to redesign the way New<br />

Zealand’s system prevents and responds to family violence.<br />

The fact is that we need to act sooner to keep victims safe<br />

and change perpetrator behaviour. Reducing family violence<br />

incidents requires all New Zealanders to think differently. The<br />

legislation is intended to be introduced to Parliament in early<br />

2017.<br />

Sir Bob Charles visits Rawhiti<br />

Sir Bob Charles swung<br />

his club at Rawhiti<br />

Golf course on 24<br />

November for the first<br />

time in 67 years. The<br />

80-year-old PGA Tour<br />

champion told me he<br />

used to sneak onto<br />

the course to hit balls<br />

as a <strong>13</strong>-year-old. This<br />

time he donated some<br />

golf clubs to help raise<br />

money for Rawhiti and<br />

to support all the good work being done there by club president<br />

Mene Mene and his wife Sally.<br />

Fresh Leadership<br />

Monday 5 <strong>December</strong> was a great shock to us all as Prime Minister John<br />

Key tendered his resignation. It’s been an honour to work alongside<br />

a great leader like John Key: undoubtedly the best Prime Minister this<br />

country has seen in a very, very long time as well as an affable, humble<br />

and genuine Kiwi guy out to do his best for his county. He has done us all<br />

proud, deserves a well-earned break and will be sorely missed.<br />

We’ve Been Busy<br />

My team and I have worked hard in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

The main issues that crossed our desks were housing, road<br />

works, immigration, workplace safety, regeneration of the East,<br />

New Brighton mall development, WINZ issues, employment and<br />

education.<br />

You will have seen us communicate with you across 33 Giggle<br />

TV sets, in this newsletter, at our monthly mobile clinic, through<br />

newspaper advertisments, some 17,000 paper surveys, 11,000<br />

constituent meetings, and we’ve attended 100 meetings in the<br />

electorate - 40 of those I personally attended, and 60 were my staff<br />

representatives.<br />

We care about you and your family and would love to hear how we<br />

can help.<br />

Looking Forward<br />

It’s going to be an exciting year in 2017 and I look forward to<br />

talking together about how we can create a better future. Our<br />

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | DECEMBER <strong>2016</strong><br />

The year ahead<br />

A message from outgoing EQC chief executive<br />

Ian Simpson<br />

The Kaikoura Earthquake has been an unwelcome<br />

reminder of the sheer power and unpredictability<br />

of geological forces and of New Zealand’s<br />

vulnerability to these.<br />

The earthquake has also highlighted yet again<br />

the resilience of New Zealanders in the face of<br />

natural disaster.<br />

At EQC, it’s also reminded us that every natural<br />

disaster affects communities in different ways. So<br />

while we have learned a number of lessons from<br />

Canterbury 2010-2011, our response to the<br />

Kaikoura Earthquakes will be different.<br />

One of the key things we learned from<br />

Canterbury is that we should have put more<br />

time early on into building relationships with<br />

customers, community groups, local<br />

Courtesy of Tonkin + Taylor<br />

Don’t wait to hear from<br />

EQC – lodge your claim<br />

Most people seen by EQC in the first<br />

weeks since the Kaikoura<br />

Earthquake of 14 November have<br />

wanted help lodging their claims<br />

and advice on how to get emergency<br />

repairs underway to get them back<br />

into their homes.<br />

EQC Customer and Claims General<br />

Manager Trish Keith says that having<br />

organised three teams on rotation into<br />

the most impacted areas of Ward, Waiau<br />

and Kaikoura to help lodge claims,<br />

provide information and answer<br />

EQC-related questions, EQC is being<br />

kept up to date on customer needs.<br />

“One of the lessons out of Canterbury<br />

was that people wanted information<br />

and the opportunity to talk to someone<br />

about their issues as soon as they could<br />

after an event, so we have ensured that<br />

our response to Kaikoura includes<br />

personal contact,” Mrs Keith says.<br />

“The teams have been dealing with<br />

hundreds of customers one-on-one.<br />

Many people have been asking EQC<br />

when someone from EQC will visit<br />

them, so they will know what to do<br />

next. My advice is that they go ahead<br />

and lodge the claim first. Don’t wait for<br />

anyone to visit.<br />

“Go ahead and lodge your claim to<br />

ensure you are in the system, and any<br />

earthquake damage found later can be<br />

added. If you fail to lodge a claim<br />

before 14 February 2017, we won’t be<br />

able to help you so best to lodge the<br />

government, and government agencies<br />

and insurers.<br />

We are heeding that lesson as we plan our<br />

response to Kaikoura. We’ve had staff on the<br />

ground in Kaikoura, Ward and Waiau to help<br />

customers lodge their claims and answer EQC<br />

related questions. The information our people<br />

are picking up from those areas is being fed back<br />

into our planning.<br />

The work we are doing now will mean that in<br />

2017 we will be putting in place the team we<br />

need to deliver a response tailored to the needs<br />

of customers impacted by the Kaikoura<br />

Earthquake. This team will be part of the new<br />

structure we have developed to also carry on the<br />

remaining work in Canterbury in 2017.<br />

While we are working very hard on responding to<br />

Kaikoura, we also know we have to keep focussed<br />

on resolving the final Canterbury claims.<br />

I’m stepping down as EQC’s chief executive at<br />

the end of this year. I want to thank people of<br />

claim,” Mrs Keith says.<br />

The next steps about claim assessment<br />

and settlement are still the subject of<br />

ongoing negotiations with private<br />

insurers. EQC is confident it will have<br />

news on this soon.<br />

EQC has been prioritising the<br />

vulnerable and the most damaged<br />

homes for visits, as needed.<br />

All EQC teams are working out of<br />

Recovery Assistance Centres set up by<br />

Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency<br />

Management in Ward, Waiau and<br />

Kaikoura so Government agencies and<br />

non-government agencies could deliver<br />

consistently across areas of need.<br />

If you have any questions about<br />

your existing claim or want to lodge<br />

a new claim:<br />

• Visit www.eqc.govt.nz/claims<br />

• Email info@eqc.govt.nz<br />

• Phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243)<br />

The EQC call centre is open 7am to<br />

9pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to<br />

6pm on Saturdays.<br />

To prepare for making a claim,<br />

remember to have on hand:<br />

• Information about what damage<br />

occurred<br />

• Photographs showing the damage<br />

and any urgent work that was done<br />

• Your insurance policy number and<br />

name of your insurance company.<br />

Courtesy of NZ Fire Service<br />

Canterbury for the support we have received,<br />

and at times for your patience. I acknowledge we<br />

didn’t always get everything right but we have<br />

learned from that. I also want to acknowledge the<br />

EQC staff who worked very hard to support the<br />

Canterbury recovery.<br />

Looking ahead, it’s clear 2017 will be another<br />

year of challenges. I’m confident that EQC will<br />

rise to meet those challenges.<br />

2017 changes<br />

From later this month, EQC will be the main point of<br />

contact for all customer enquiries relating to Canterbury<br />

Home Repair Programme (CHRP) repairs.<br />

Until now, customers have dealt with EQC and/or Fletcher EQR<br />

– depending on what stage their repairs have been at. But, from<br />

16 <strong>December</strong>, EQC’s 0800 number (0800 326 243) will be the<br />

main number for all customers – including those whose<br />

properties are in the current sub-floor review, who will be<br />

transferred to the Fletcher EQR staff focussing on that work.<br />

No delays are intended or anticipated, but personnel changes<br />

due to the completion of about 68,400 first-time CHRP repairs<br />

may mean some customers will have a different contact person<br />

at EQC or EQR in 2017.<br />

EQC’s General Manager Customer and Claims Trish Keith says<br />

these customers will be advised of any changes and provided<br />

with new contact details.<br />

“We don’t want customers who currently have a contact<br />

person at EQC or EQR calling us and only then finding out that<br />

someone else is looking after their claim.”<br />

She says any changes will be limited to EQC and EQR<br />

personnel, and repair work will be carried out by contractors<br />

that have already worked for the home repair programme and<br />

are familiar with EQC’s systems and quality expectations.<br />

Most CHRP contractors will finish work for the year on<br />

23 <strong>December</strong> and resume work from 9 January.<br />

EQC’s Contact Centre hours will be:<br />

• Friday 23 <strong>December</strong>: 7am-5pm<br />

• Saturday 24 <strong>December</strong> – Tuesday 27 <strong>December</strong>: CLOSED<br />

• Wednesday 28 <strong>December</strong> – Friday 30 <strong>December</strong>: 8am-5pm<br />

• Saturday 31 <strong>December</strong> – Tuesday 3 January: CLOSED<br />

• Normal hours will resume on Wednesday 4 January<br />

(7am-9pm Monday-Friday; 8am-6pm Saturday)<br />

Positive<br />

response to<br />

February <strong>2016</strong><br />

settlement<br />

process<br />

90 percent of claims from the February <strong>2016</strong><br />

earthquakes have been settled.<br />

EQC’s February <strong>2016</strong> Event Response Manager,<br />

Jayne Lapin, says of the <strong>13</strong>,879 claims received for the<br />

14 and 29 February earthquakes and subsequent<br />

aftershocks, EQC has resolved 12,440 (90 percent)<br />

by cash settlement worth a total value of $46,039,854<br />

“Customers have appreciated the approach we have<br />

developed and implemented in response to the<br />

February earthquakes.”<br />

The new approach uses both on-site and phonebased<br />

assessments, and allows customers to influence<br />

the pace of settlement by giving them the opportunity<br />

to provide earthquake damage data and<br />

photographic evidence.<br />

Thanks to a robust period of planning in advance and<br />

with customers providing information up front, claims<br />

have taken an average of three weeks to reach<br />

settlement from assessment.<br />

Customers who have been through the process have<br />

been surveyed and nearly 90 percent of those who have<br />

taken part have been positive about their experience.<br />

Ms Lapin says EQC had hoped to resolve all February<br />

<strong>2016</strong> claims by the end of the year but it has suited<br />

some customers to defer their assessment to 2017,<br />

meaning a small number remain open and will be<br />

closed early next year.<br />

Land settlements<br />

update<br />

Almost all land claims will be resolved by the end<br />

of the year but there will be some customers who<br />

will get their settlement in 2017.<br />

At the end of <strong>December</strong> <strong>2016</strong>, out of a total of<br />

approximately 73,000 green zone properties we<br />

expect to have resolved 97% of them. This means we<br />

have either made payments to customers or advised<br />

them that they don’t qualify for the types of land<br />

damage known as Increased Flooding Vulnerability<br />

(IFV) and/or Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV).<br />

“We’ve been working to get an answer to all land<br />

customers waiting to hear from us this year. While we<br />

have worked hard to ensure that customers have<br />

received their land settlement, we are conscious that<br />

some are still waiting”, says EQC’s Head of Customer<br />

and Claims Trish Keith.<br />

“These are the last of the most complex claims that<br />

we need to settle and we will do our best to continue<br />

to deliver robust settlements which can give<br />

homeowners confidence that all properties have been<br />

assessed fairly and consistently”, says Mrs Keith.<br />

“Looking back on the year, we would also like the<br />

opportunity to thank all land customers, community<br />

groups and many other stakeholders, who are also<br />

supporting our customers, for their patience and<br />

understanding as well as taking the time to come to<br />

our community meetings on land settlements or<br />

hosting us and providing us with their feedback”,<br />

concludes Mrs Keith.<br />

The EQC website remains a good source of<br />

information for land customers who want to find out<br />

more about IFV and ILV land damage, which are a<br />

world-first. Please visit www.eqc.govt.nz/IFV or www.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Mike Vincent<br />

Million dollar mission to save a<br />

Mike Vincent is Kaikoura’s paua saviour. He<br />

reckons he and about 450 volunteers have<br />

saved paua worth more than $1 million since the<br />

November 14 earthquake. Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

talks to the 44-year-old about questioning his<br />

science teacher, missing his wife and kids, and<br />

growing up in Aranui<br />

Where are you while we’re<br />

chatting?<br />

We’re in Boat Harbour in the<br />

south of Kaikoura still, we’re<br />

waiting for a road to open so<br />

we can get access to some bays<br />

further to the north, the different<br />

inlets and bays up there. All<br />

the way from Oaro through to<br />

Peketa is the area we’ve been allowed<br />

to relocate paua.<br />

Talk to me about the process<br />

of relocating paua. What does<br />

that entail?<br />

Before I do I’ll explain how to<br />

normally gather paua. You jump<br />

in at low tide and dive for it;<br />

that’s the way to get it legally. But<br />

now because of the earthquake<br />

you can walk out in sand shoes<br />

without getting wet and reach it.<br />

In my whole 30 years of diving<br />

I’ve never been able to go into<br />

a tidal zone and pick up my six<br />

paua without getting wet. There’s<br />

no science in that, it’s just what’s<br />

happened.<br />

So now you’re wading out,<br />

gathering them and dropping<br />

them deeper?<br />

What we do is we go out at<br />

low tide, when there’s a two hour<br />

window either side of that and<br />

we fill buckets with water and the<br />

harvesters go out and grab them,<br />

and the relocaters who are the<br />

experienced divers, go and place<br />

them on rocks, back into the<br />

water basically. The simple way<br />

of saying it is that we’re moving<br />

them from where there was no<br />

water, to where there is water.<br />

How much depth do you<br />

think has been lost from the<br />

earthquake?<br />

It’s hard to put a number on<br />

it, because all I can say is there’s<br />

hundreds of dead paua on the<br />

beaches now. It’s also important<br />

to ask if in the old tidal zone<br />

pre-earthquake was there any<br />

sea-life on the beach? The answer<br />

is no. In the new tidal zone after<br />

the quake would there be any life<br />

POWER COUPLE: Mike Vincent and wife Debra. Mr Vincent<br />

says she is his rock back in Christchurch.<br />

there? And the answer is still no,<br />

because sea creatures can’t live<br />

out of water (laughs).<br />

And so you’ve brought it on<br />

yourself to get them back in the<br />

water?<br />

A diving mate of mine Dylan<br />

Dhue, his wife Hannah and I<br />

phoned each other the day after<br />

the earthquake. When we saw a<br />

photo of a rock full of paua well<br />

above the water line on Facebook,<br />

that’s what made me call<br />

Amazing Green-Fee Package<br />

Play 2 Rounds on the Best Links Golf Course in Christchurch<br />

with a Motorised Cart and 2 Free Beers for $59.00 (usually $<strong>13</strong>1.20)<br />

Here’s how you can take advantage of this great offer…<br />

Pick up your phone and dial 383 0307.Then press 2 and tell James or Moon in the Pro-shop that you are<br />

calling about the Green-Fee Package in the paper and you want to book a tee time for 2 players. Tee times<br />

for Saturday aren’t always available but for most other days you will be able to get the tee time you want.<br />

Here’s what to do on the day you are playing…<br />

Cut this ad out of the paper and hand it in at the Pro-shop at least 15 minutes before your tee time. In return<br />

we will give you the key to a motorised cart and a voucher for 2 free handles of beer to be enjoyed after<br />

the game. Then hop in the cart and go and enjoy the best greens and fairways in Christchurch (some of the<br />

pros who played in our recent Pro-am reckoned they were the best greens and fairways in NZ).<br />

Here’s what to do after the game…<br />

Throw your clubs in the car and return the cart to the Pro-shop. Then claim your free beers at the bar. If you<br />

don’t like beer - no worries. Just ask for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine instead. Then relax on the deck<br />

after a great day’s golf.<br />

That’s it, just pick up that phone and make the call…. 383 0307.<br />

do something. And that’s when<br />

I posted my first Facebook plea<br />

for help.<br />

And it all went from there?<br />

Pretty much. So now it’s all<br />

volunteers up here who all feel<br />

the same as us – they’ve all<br />

visited or dived here. It’s touched<br />

all of us. Kaikoura has a special<br />

and support for us.<br />

Obviously you can’t save<br />

every single paua out there –<br />

but how many do you think<br />

you’ve relocated back to the<br />

water?<br />

You’re right we can’t save all<br />

of them. But I’d say we’ve put<br />

between 20,000 and 75,000kg of<br />

paua back into the water. But to<br />

give you an idea, we would fill a<br />

20-30L bucket in about a minute,<br />

so we fill thousands of buckets.<br />

To put a money figure on what<br />

we’re doing, it’s about $90 for a<br />

ton of paua, so we would be talking<br />

over a million bucks for this<br />

operation normally. We’ve probably<br />

had about 450 volunteers<br />

over the whole time helping out<br />

too. I want to say a big thank you<br />

to all our wives out there as well<br />

(laughs). We’ve all got families<br />

mate, they’ve been our rocks, so<br />

letting us go away and do this is<br />

awesome.<br />

We’re coming up to<br />

Christmas now, how much<br />

longer do you think you can do<br />

this for?<br />

We’re waiting for a road to<br />

open up towards Peketa so we<br />

can get there. If it doesn’t open<br />

by Sunday though we’ll have to<br />

call it.<br />

Kaikoura natural treasure<br />

When will you be back in<br />

Christchurch?<br />

I would say within the next<br />

week and a half. It’s been adventurous,<br />

but we just want to get<br />

home to support our families.<br />

It will be really awesome for me<br />

to see my wife Debra and my<br />

two young boys Kaydence and<br />

Ezekiel again.<br />

What suburb in Christchurch<br />

are you going back to?<br />

Addington. We’ve been there<br />

for eight years now. It’s our first<br />

house. I haven’t been working<br />

so my wife’s a bit stretched. I’m<br />

in the building industry but I’ve<br />

taken almost a year off to help<br />

with the house.<br />

Do you ask a few of your<br />

builder friends to help with the<br />

house?<br />

Oh hell yes. I’ve got heaps of<br />

friends that have helped out with<br />

the house, people like plasterers,<br />

painters, landscapers, it’s all good<br />

karma that comes around for<br />

them too.<br />

You must have a lot of good<br />

karma with the work you’re doing<br />

at the moment?<br />

Yes, I think I must have a bit<br />

of credit in the bank (laughs).<br />

It’s the love and support of the<br />

New Zealand people, that’s what<br />

allows me to keep going. We’re a<br />

special breed us Kiwis I truly believe<br />

that. I think when you have<br />

a natural disaster it brings people<br />

back together and you get a lot<br />

of good things happening. And<br />

in 20 years time our kids will be<br />

able to come out to Kaikoura and<br />

get paua.<br />

So it’s also about the future<br />

generation for you?<br />

It’s all about my kids and their<br />

kids, to get paua for me, their<br />

father, when I’m too old to get it<br />

myself (laughs). It’s me teaching<br />

them what’s important, conservation<br />

and all that.<br />

What high school did you go<br />

to in Christchurch?<br />

I went to Aranui High School.<br />

I was brought up and lived in<br />

New Brighton and loved surfing<br />

on North Beach, I used to love<br />

to surf. I’m more into my diving<br />

and hunting now. I’d rather run<br />

around the hills and do stuff<br />

like that now, chasing pigs and<br />

deer.<br />

Who did you hang out with at<br />

school?<br />

It was a big community back<br />

then. It’s a lot different now because<br />

of the advances with technology<br />

nowadays. We’d phone<br />

people and actually bike to each<br />

others’ houses and that kind of<br />

thing. It was a small community<br />

and everybody knew everybody.<br />

Are there any schoolmates<br />

you still catch up with?<br />

I still see a lot of the mates, and<br />

because of this work I’m doing<br />

up here a lot have come back<br />

out of the woodwork. That core<br />

group of good friends are still<br />

around. Just a big web of friends<br />

I guess.<br />

Did you have any favourite<br />

subjects at school?<br />

I loved science – I was the<br />

guy that would stand up in class<br />

and got in trouble for it, and<br />

ask about evolution and ask the<br />

teacher why apes aren’t turning<br />

into humans now, that kind of<br />

thing. I loved it because I liked<br />

the challenge of working through<br />

something and asking what’s going<br />

on here.<br />

Were you pretty smart for a<br />

student?<br />

I was an average student, sort<br />

of in-between average and above<br />

The paua<br />

need saving<br />

because the<br />

seabed rose<br />

significantly<br />

during the<br />

earthquake.<br />

average in terms of my brains. I<br />

loved my sport though. I played<br />

representative rugby for Canterbury,<br />

then I went and played<br />

league and then got into diving<br />

at 14 and hunting after that. I<br />

still play presidents rugby league<br />

for the Kaiapoi Bulldogs. I still<br />

throw myself around like I’m 21<br />

to be honest (laughs).<br />

Did you do any tertiary education<br />

after Aranui?<br />

I did a course at polytech for<br />

business management. I think I<br />

got through one year and it got<br />

boring for me. It wasn’t challenging<br />

enough for me and I thought<br />

do I really need a piece of paper<br />

for this? I’m just a worker that<br />

learns a lot by talking to people<br />

and not judging them.<br />

on ‘flexible learning environments’ so that<br />

learning can be individualised and students<br />

see pathways for themselves that engage and<br />

inspire. It is not about ‘traditional’ or ‘modern’,<br />

but personalisation so the systems adapt to<br />

the learner, not the other way round.<br />

Common sense and formal research are<br />

united and very clear on the attitudes,<br />

skills and knowledge that lead secondary<br />

school students on to a successful postschool<br />

pathway, both in tertiary study and in<br />

employment, and it is the daily focus on these<br />

attributes, principally through our SEaRCH<br />

values – Service, Excellence, Respect,<br />

Curiosity and Honesty – that is at the heart of<br />

our school.<br />

Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive<br />

season and summer holiday.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Arthritis &<br />

back pain<br />

to rest or keep moving?<br />

With arthritis and back pain 30 years ago<br />

the advice was to rest. But research has<br />

shown that inactivity only makes things<br />

worse.<br />

Move, move, move is always the advice<br />

for arthritis. Staying in bed with back pain<br />

often results in greater difficulty moving<br />

and may prolong the pain. Better to stay<br />

active, garden or walk to the shops.<br />

A pain killer may enable you to continue<br />

normal activities. Any movement, no<br />

matter how small, helps relieve pain. Start<br />

gently with something you enjoy.<br />

There’s no quick fix for back pain but<br />

you need to keep moving. You can keep<br />

your legs and lower back moving with an<br />

Aircycle circulation booster while you sit.<br />

By working your legs, your core muscles<br />

which help support your back, also work<br />

and strengthen. Lower back pain and<br />

sciatica, aching legs and joints are often<br />

relieved this way.<br />

So move – even while you sit. The<br />

Aircycle “pedal” exercise enables this. And<br />

don’t forget to laugh occasionally. That<br />

massages your internal organs and helps<br />

you relax.<br />

Back pain however, has many and varied<br />

causes. Never neglect seeking medical<br />

advice.<br />

MooGoo produce a full range<br />

of safe, natural skin and scalp<br />

products that are especially<br />

suited for those with problem<br />

skin. In these products they<br />

only use top quality edible<br />

ingredients that are known to<br />

be highly effective and good<br />

for our skin. These active<br />

ingredients are only used in<br />

correct concentrations for<br />

effective results and not just<br />

added to look good on the<br />

label. Because the MooGoo<br />

range is so safe and yet so<br />

effective is probably why it<br />

was rated the number one<br />

most preferred brand of nonprescription<br />

creams for those suffering from<br />

problem skin in Australia.<br />

It is also recommended by<br />

many medical practitioners in<br />

Collagen<br />

the body’s youth protein<br />

Collagen is the primary<br />

protein in the body. It is a major<br />

component of skin, hair, nails,<br />

muscles, tendons, ligaments,<br />

joint cartilage, bones, gums,<br />

teeth, eyes, and blood vessels.<br />

In fact collagen is the primary<br />

structural component for all<br />

tissue in the body, providing<br />

the strength and resilience<br />

associated with youth, beauty<br />

and wellness. The body’s natural<br />

collagen production decreases<br />

with age resulting in many signs<br />

of aging, such as flaccid skin,<br />

wrinkles, ligament and tendon<br />

injuries and aching joints.<br />

Collagen supplementation is<br />

one of the most fundamental<br />

things a person can do to<br />

prevent premature aging and<br />

promote youthful vitality.<br />

NEOCELL are the industry<br />

leaders in research on collagen<br />

supplementation. Through<br />

advanced research they have<br />

perfected a way to hydrolyse<br />

collagen and effectively reduce<br />

its molecular weight this<br />

improving the absorption of<br />

collagen into the blood stream<br />

by over 90%.<br />

A clinical study on<br />

NEOCELL COLLAGEN<br />

has shown skin hydration to<br />

increase an average of 21%<br />

and up to 50%, with 92% of<br />

test subjects experiencing<br />

firmer, softer skin. Most<br />

people taking NEOCELL<br />

COLLAGEN reported seeing<br />

visible improvements within<br />

two weeks.<br />

Collagen supplementation<br />

provides the nutrients necessary<br />

to support the body’s collagen<br />

supply. It can help reduce fine<br />

lines and wrinkles and improve<br />

skin elasticity, support building<br />

of strong bones and teeth,<br />

strengthen the nails and hair,<br />

and is vital for muscle growth,<br />

It also assists weight loss by<br />

helping burn fat for energy,<br />

promotes wound healing by<br />

supporting the regeneration of<br />

healthy tissue as well as help<br />

support overall health.<br />

Festive Season Survival Tips<br />

Healthy snacks are always popular<br />

Christmas is a time for celebration,<br />

spending time with friends and<br />

family and enjoying festive foods<br />

and drinks. Nutrition-wise, this<br />

festive fare can be a challenge.<br />

Here are some simple tips to help you<br />

survive the festivities:<br />

• Don’t try to lose weight over the festive<br />

season. With parties, families and all the<br />

special foods that go with Christmas, it’s<br />

going to be just about impossible! Your<br />

main aim should be to maintain your<br />

weight (using some of the tips below!)<br />

• Eat regular meals. If you skip meals you<br />

are more You likely can to also fill pin up iton high fat snacks.<br />

It only takes a few of these snacks to add<br />

up to more calories than your usual meal.<br />

• Avoid You can going also pin to it a function hungry, you<br />

can easily eat a lot of party food in a short<br />

name<br />

signed<br />

time. Have a small snack beforehand like a<br />

bowl of cereal, yoghurt or a sandwich are<br />

quick and will help fill you up. It will also<br />

help if you are well hydrated, so try drinking<br />

a few glasses of water before you arrive.<br />

• Deep fried foods, crumbed and battered<br />

foods, cheese platter and nuts are all high in<br />

fat. Choose fruit, vegetable or bread based<br />

snacks.<br />

• If you are hosting the party, offer your<br />

guests a range of healthy snacks. Always<br />

popular are hummus or salsa dips with<br />

vegetable sticks.<br />

• If you are taking a plate, make yours a<br />

healthy option. How about a platter of fruit<br />

currently in season?<br />

• Listen to your body and stop eating<br />

when you feel full.<br />

• Just say ‘No” to 14km food – mentally<br />

Be aware of how much you are actually drinking<br />

practice strategies to decline food offers. For<br />

example: “It looks amazing but I am full” or<br />

“I tried it and it was great”.<br />

• Chat and mingle. If you are bored at a<br />

party you’re more likely to hover around the<br />

food table or seek out the serving platter. A<br />

good conversation can distract you from the<br />

food. Avoid standing right beside the food<br />

table or bar while you’re talking.<br />

• Consider your drinks, they can add to<br />

the calorie count very quickly. Try diluting<br />

your alcoholic drinks, such as a spritzer<br />

(½ wine, ½ soda). If you prefer spirits,<br />

try a diet mixer. Lite beers are lower in<br />

calories and alcohol. Remember soft drinks,<br />

juices, punches, tonic water and flavoured<br />

mineral water can all have similar calories<br />

to alcoholic<br />

glasses of water and non-alcoholic choices.<br />

• Keep Active. Join in the Christmas<br />

backyard cricket game or go for a walk<br />

with friends or relatives. Remember you’re<br />

aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity<br />

each day.<br />

• If your regular exercise class stops over<br />

the Christmas break, plan other types of<br />

exercise - organise your friends and put a<br />

date in your diary.<br />

If you do really overdo the festive foods<br />

or drinks, take a deep breath and start the<br />

next day afresh with healthy foods and some<br />

exercise. No fasting - just sensible eating.<br />

Remember, a few parties don’t make you<br />

overweight, it’s what you do all the other<br />

days of the year which count.<br />

thank you for all the support<br />

they have received from Christchurch<br />

people throughout <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

“And we hope everyone has a wonderful<br />

Both clinics will be closing on <strong>December</strong><br />

21 and reopening on January 10, 2017.<br />

“We’ll be available for all denture services<br />

– fittings and repairs – from January 10<br />

onwards,” says Andrew.<br />

The two Denture South clinics cater for<br />

residents across the southern and western<br />

suburbs of Christchurch.<br />

“Our friendly, approachable and highly<br />

skilled Denture South team enjoys<br />

providing denture services and helping<br />

people through the process, and we look<br />

forward to meeting new clients in 2017,”<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

No job too small at<br />

this repair business<br />

Scratch on the bumper? Dent in the door?<br />

Damage like this can happen so easily – in<br />

supermarket car parks, for example. And<br />

the place to get minor damage quickly and<br />

professionally repaired is SMART Repairs<br />

in Lichfield Street.<br />

SMART (Small to Medium Automotive<br />

Repair Techniques) Repairs provides a topquality<br />

service with a quick turnaround<br />

– vehicles are usually in and out within a<br />

couple of days.<br />

SMART Repairs is owned and operated<br />

by Brian and Maxine Caffell, who bought<br />

their first panelbeating business in 1993.<br />

Brian has a total of 31 years’ experience in<br />

the trade, so customers can be confident<br />

they will get a first-class job.<br />

Services include paintless dent removal,<br />

or PDR, and while a large percentage of<br />

their work is non-insurance, they also<br />

provide insurance quotes and carry out<br />

those repairs quickly and efficiently.<br />

To keep their customers on the road while<br />

their vehicle is in the workshop, SMART<br />

Repairs recently acquired a courtesy car,<br />

and this has already proven to be a great<br />

help for people, Maxine says. They also offer<br />

a pick-up and delivery service if required.<br />

As a small, friendly operation, SMART<br />

Repairs specialises in small to medium<br />

repair work, with no job too small, Maxine<br />

says. Their aim is to provide personalised<br />

service, and make it easy for customers<br />

unsure what to do if their vehicle is<br />

damaged.<br />

“We take pride in our work and ensure<br />

that our customers are happy with the<br />

results.”<br />

SMART Repairs is located at 272<br />

Lichfield Street, at the Fitzgerald Avenue<br />

end. Opening hours are Monday to Friday,<br />

8am-4.30pm.<br />

To enquire about repairs to your<br />

vehicle, call in, or phone 377-0409.<br />
