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 />
Roger Allen is the father of<br />
current Aranui Primary School<br />

of club legend Marsden Mateni<br />

be his last game for the club.<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 />
telephone surveys and 27,700 DLE cards. Plus, we’ve had 108 oneto-one<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 />

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 />
PAUA<br />
SAVIOUR:<br />
A group of<br />
volunteers<br />
saving<br />
paua on the<br />
Kaikoura<br />
coast (left).<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 />

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 />
Australia.<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 />

drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with<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 />

Andrew Johnson and his team at<br />
Denture South, in Barrington<br />
Street and Hornby, want to say<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 />
Christmas and New Year,” says Andrew.<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 />
Andrew says.<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 />
