Property buy-up to<br />
solve flood problem<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE CITY council will look to<br />
purchase seven properties on the<br />
corner of Anzac Dr and Pages Rd<br />
as part of a multi-million dollar<br />
flood reduction scheme.<br />
Ground levels in some areas<br />
have dropped by up to a metre<br />
in the Knight’s Drain catchment<br />
zone, which covers parts of<br />
Aranui and Wainoni, putting<br />
houses at greater flood risk due<br />
to earthquake-related land damage.<br />
There are 13 houses in the<br />
scheme area, five of which the<br />
city council owned before the<br />
earthquakes. The other seven<br />
houses are currently occupied.<br />
One property owner, Dorothy<br />
Grieve, has lived in her house<br />
since 1950.<br />
The 90-year-old was recently<br />
visited by the city council but<br />
said she wasn’t keen on selling.<br />
“It’s a good house for me. It’s<br />
handy to Brighton, I can catch<br />
the bus down to the shops.”<br />
Mrs Grieve said she didn’t<br />
know where she would go if she<br />
had to sell. “It wouldn’t be the<br />
same.”<br />
City council manager of land<br />
and drainage Keith Davison said<br />
all 13 properties will be needed<br />
before work can proceed.<br />
“There may be some potential<br />
to stage the construction of the<br />
works but this will only be considered<br />
if negotiations become<br />
protracted,” Mr Davison said.<br />

THE LEGACY of the February<br />
22, 2011, continues to bite – this<br />
time for homeowners on the<br />
corner of Anzac Dr and Pages Rd<br />
in Bexley.<br />
The city council needs the land<br />
(see page 1) for a flood reduction<br />
scheme.<br />
Ground levels have dropped by<br />
up to 1m in the area which is putting<br />
parts of Wainoni and Aranui<br />
at risk in the event of flooding.<br />
We all know when there are<br />
king and spring tides the Avon<br />
River along New Brighton Rd<br />
spills its banks. This is compounded<br />
by underground cracks in the<br />
land close to the river caused by<br />
the quake.<br />
The city council says home owners<br />
will get market price but will<br />
that be enough for someone to buy<br />
elsewhere?<br />
I suspect not.<br />

Funding crisis for charity<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A 40-YEAR old charity helping<br />
pregnant women is finding life<br />
tough.<br />
Recent funding cuts mean<br />
Pregnancy Help has to find a<br />
cheaper premise when their<br />
Woodham Rd, Wainoni, lease<br />
expires in October.<br />
The group signed a $30,000 a<br />
year lease on the property three<br />
years ago.<br />
But stricter enforcement of rules<br />
around use of residential property<br />
means the charity can look only at<br />
commercial properties, which are<br />
out of their price range.<br />
“We simply don’t have the<br />
space from an operational<br />
budget of $125,000,” branch<br />
manager Dahlia Xander said.<br />
They recently looked at renting<br />
a house in Linwood but<br />
didn’t meet the regulations because<br />
no-one would be sleeping<br />
at the property.<br />
“Three or four years ago we<br />
had a place in a residential<br />
area, but it seems the rules are<br />
enforced more strictly now.”<br />
“Health and safety rules<br />
around accessibility is a big part<br />
of it. I’ve been told by real estate<br />
agents that the health and safety<br />
code is the main issue.”<br />
Commercial properties had a<br />
commercial imperative which<br />
pushed up prices, she said.<br />
“Most places we’ve looked at<br />
are at least $450-$550 per week.<br />
Regardless of where it is or how<br />
long it’s been empty, landlords<br />
won’t lower to $300.”<br />
“Every non-government<br />
organisation has its own unique<br />
struggle, but it is particularly<br />
difficult in Christchurch as<br />
much of the community-based<br />
funding has gone towards<br />
earthquake recovery.”<br />
The transition of Child, Youth<br />
and Family to the Ministry for<br />
Vulnerable Children had also<br />
affected the group’s funding.<br />
“They restructured funding<br />
for organisations providing<br />
information and advice. It’s<br />
no longer a contract offered by<br />

them. We didn’t get (ours) renewed<br />
which means $13,000 cut<br />
out of next year’s budget.”<br />
When the current lease<br />
was signed three years ago, it<br />
seemed like something they<br />
could manage but didn’t forsee<br />
changes in Ministry funding,<br />
Ms Xander said.<br />
“It’s a frustrating position to<br />
be in.”<br />

CALL FOR STREET REPAIRS<br />
THe Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board has asked for repairs to<br />
North Brighton’s Palmers Rd<br />
and Briarmont St in Avondale<br />
to be prioritised. The board said<br />
in its submission to the city<br />
council’s draft Annual Plan that<br />
the southern portion of Palmers<br />
Rd was never fixed after the<br />
earthquakes, leaving it prone to<br />
flooding. Briarmont St, which is<br />
on the edge of the red zone, has<br />
also not been repaired, in spite of<br />
surrounding streets being fixed.<br />

Graffiti incidents in Richmond<br />
jumped 73 per cent last month<br />

NEWS UPDATE<br />
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 community. There’s so<br />
much going on that I just want to share a few highlights with you of what our community<br />
and Government are working on achieving together. Nga mihi mahana.<br />
Tackling modern-day slavery<br />
I haven’t spent as much of this month in Christchurch<br />
East as I’d like, but with good reason: I’ve been<br />
representing New Zealand’s Parliament at international<br />
conferences in London and Rome.<br />
The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association was the<br />
first and centred around issues of modern slavery in<br />
domestic help, farm work and restaurants. New Zealand<br />
already has robust laws around exploitation, but it’s<br />
always good to examine what we’re doing and how we<br />
can do it better.<br />
The second conference was the United Nations Family<br />
Planning Association in Rome where we talked about<br />
countering human trafficking, forced labour and forced<br />
marriage.<br />
These are topics that I’m passionate about,<br />
and I’m thrilled that my Marriage (Court<br />
Consent to Marriage of Minors) Amendment<br />
Bill was recently drawn to be debated in<br />
Parliament.<br />
Vulnerable children get extra<br />
support<br />
Budget <strong>2017</strong> is just around the corner on 25 <strong>May</strong>. In the<br />
meantime though, we’ve had a bit of a sneak-peek into<br />
what the Government’s got in store and it’s good news<br />
for New Zealand’s most vulnerable children: $68.8m is<br />
to be invested to ensure that our most at-risk kids are<br />
getting the support they need.<br />
This goes hand-in-hand with proposed changes to the<br />
Vulnerable Children Act 2014, which is currently going<br />
through the Parliamentary process.<br />
This Government wants to see every child have the best<br />
chance of success, and this is certainly a step in the<br />
right direction.<br />
Come and talk<br />
The last Friday of every month my team and I visit<br />
various Christchurch East locations and talk with locals<br />
about what’s concerning them and how we can help.<br />
Come along – we’d love to meet you.<br />
Fresh cabinet line-up<br />
Prime Minister Bill English<br />
has recently reshuffled<br />
cabinet to reveal a fresh<br />
line-up.<br />
One of the biggest<br />
changes for<br />
Christchurch is that<br />
former Earthquake<br />
Recovery Minister Gerry<br />
Brownlee has replaced<br />
Murray McCully as<br />
Foreign Affairs Minister. Nicky Wagner has taken over the<br />
earthquake recovery role, which she has assisted with for<br />
some time, and will undoubtedly do the city proud with all<br />
the challenges it entails.<br />
Congratulations to them both as they undertake their<br />
new roles for our nation.<br />
More jobs and higher wages<br />
The latest Household Labour Force Survey shows the<br />
economy continues to deliver for New Zealanders.<br />
There are 29,000 more Kiwis employed in the past three<br />
months as job growth continues to be faster than population<br />
growth.<br />
Our unemployment rate is currently 4.9 per cent, compared to<br />
our Aussie neighbours at 5.9%.<br />
Wages also grew by 2.1 per cent over the year, taking the<br />
average annual wage to $58,935.<br />
Go New Zealand!<br />
An extra pool for QEII<br />
The new QEII Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre<br />
complex is about to<br />
get even more exciting:<br />
CCC has approved an<br />
additional warm-water<br />
hydro-therapy pool.<br />
This will be a great asset and will aid people with muscular<br />
aches and pains or in recovery from accidents/surgery. The<br />
new centre is scheduled to open in mid-2018. This is a great<br />
success story for East-siders who lobbied hard to see QEII<br />
facilities rebuilt.<br />
Avon Trail in first stages of repair<br />
Good news for East-siders missing a local running trail: work<br />
to prepare the 12km transitional Avon Trail has started, and<br />
from the spring you’ll be able to walk, run or cycle sections<br />
of the trail from Barbadoes Street to Pages Road in New<br />
Brighton. The first section of work has started from Retreat<br />
Road/Avonside Drive through to the Gayhurst Road Bridge.<br />
The full trail is expected to open in early 2018. Another win for<br />
the East!<br />

Community centre delayed again<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE SHIRLEY Community<br />
Centre has hit yet another<br />
stumbling block in its recovery.<br />
Another delay has meant<br />
instead of being completed in<br />
2019, designs for the community<br />
centre won’t begin until the<br />
2020 to 2021 financial year.<br />
City<br />
councillor and<br />
Papanui-Innes<br />
Community<br />
Board member<br />
Mike Davidson<br />
(left) said that’s<br />
too far away.<br />
“THere’s a genuine need in<br />
the Shirley community,” he<br />
said.<br />
Cr Davidson said the<br />
project has been pushed out<br />
too many times so it’s a matter<br />
of making sure it doesn’t get<br />
OLD: The former Shirley Community Centre before it was<br />
pulled down in October 2012.<br />
pushed out too far and never<br />
completed.<br />
Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
called it her “die in the ditch<br />

priority” to see the centre’s<br />
rebuild get under way.<br />
“It has been on the table<br />
and off the table like a yo-yo,”<br />
she told the city council at<br />
the board’s draft Annual Plan<br />
submission.<br />
Ms Jones said the board had<br />
received a flood of emails from<br />
community groups wanting to<br />
return to the area after being<br />
displaced for six years.<br />
“It’s been dangled in front of<br />
that community for so many<br />
years now,” she said.<br />
In its draft Annual Plan<br />
submission, the board asked<br />
for the $153,000 earmarked for<br />
2020-21 to be brought forward<br />
to 2018-19.<br />
New community centres are<br />
being rebuilt such as those in<br />
Halswell, Sumner, Lyttelton, Mt<br />
Pleasant and even St Albans so<br />
the board does not understand<br />
why Shirley keeps being taken<br />
off the table.<br />
Last year the centre was one<br />
of many city council projects<br />
that was put on the back-burner,<br />
much to the frustration of the<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board.<br />
THe centre on Shirley Rd<br />
closed after significant damage<br />
during the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake and was pulled<br />
down in October 2012.<br />
It was utilised for meetings,<br />
art, pottery, yoga, karate,<br />
aerobics, spinning, lace-making,<br />
and dancing, and was largely<br />
self-funded.<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do<br />
you want to see the Shirley<br />
Community Centre rebuilt?<br />

city council’s plans to push<br />
it out to 2020? Email julia.<br />

Property buy-up<br />
for flood plan<br />
•From page 1<br />
If given the go-ahead by the city<br />
council, market value would be<br />
established and property purchases<br />
negotiated “within standard<br />
council policies.”<br />
The city council purchases all<br />
properties under legislative power<br />
granted under the Public Works<br />
Act. The Act also grants the city<br />
council power to acquire properties<br />
compulsorily.<br />
The $11 million scheme would<br />
involve digging out two new flood<br />
storage ponds to be used during<br />
heavy rainfall events.<br />
This should reduce the flood<br />
risk to 70 out of an estimated <strong>23</strong>0<br />
properties at risk of under-floor<br />
flooding, and six of the 13 houses<br />
at risk of above-floor flooding in a<br />
50-year rainfall event.<br />
Better water quality treatment<br />
in the new ponds would also<br />
reduce contaminants in the water<br />
when discharged into the Avon<br />
River.<br />
Coastal Ward city councillor<br />
David East said while it was a<br />
shame houses had to be purchased,<br />
a number of the properties<br />
were empty or under repair.<br />
He was aware of one house that<br />
had been rebuilt in the past couple<br />
of years, which was “unfortunate.”<br />
Public feedback on the proposal<br />
will be open until June 7.<br />

Church project to improve health<br />
A GROUP of five Canterbury<br />
health organisations are<br />
collaborating to help improve<br />
the lives of the region’s Pacific<br />
communities through their<br />
churches.<br />
The initiative known as the<br />
‘Tutupu Project’ has been widely<br />
welcomed.<br />
Seven churches<br />
from around<br />
Christchurch and<br />
as far afield as<br />
Ashburton and<br />
West Melton are<br />
participating in a<br />
Maria<br />
Pasene<br />
nine-month commitment<br />
to educate<br />
and empower<br />
nominated ‘health champions’<br />
who will then take information<br />
back to their communities.<br />
“I wanted to be involved in the<br />
Tutupu Project because this is an<br />
opportunity for me to learn and<br />
gather information about health,<br />
so I can then pass on to my<br />
family, church and community,”<br />
said Teuila Saafi, youth leader of<br />
Christchurch’s Tongan Seventh<br />
Day Adventist.<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> Health, Community<br />
and Public Health, Rural Canterbury<br />
PHO, Etu Pasifika and<br />
Healthy Families Christchurch<br />
will mentor the health champions<br />
in nutrition, exercise and ways to<br />
improve their health literacy.<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> Health’s Pacific health<br />
manager and project leader,<br />

Health<br />
champions<br />

Maria Pasene, said the health<br />
champions will attend health<br />
education sessions to expand<br />
their knowledge about nutrition<br />
and the importance of physical<br />
activity with a particular focus<br />
on children and young people.<br />
“We have discussed the ways<br />
in which Pacific peoples can help<br />
clinicians to assist them in their<br />
health journey. This includes<br />
pushing past their natural shyness,<br />
speaking up and providing<br />
important information at visits to<br />
the GP and hospital and asking<br />
questions when they aren’t sure<br />
about what’s being discussed. It’s<br />
important to assert our needs<br />
to improve our communities’<br />
health.”<br />
Ms Pasene said Pacific communities<br />
were at a point where<br />
they see themselves as part of the<br />
solution rather than the problem.<br />
“They are willing to investigate<br />
ways to improve the health of<br />
their families and communities.<br />
We have the ability to link them<br />
to resources and services that<br />
will work with them in a way that<br />
makes sense, such as church environments<br />
where Pacific peoples<br />
naturally connect, support and<br />
communicate with each other.”<br />

Red zone volunteer Bryan<br />

a $9000 mower to continue<br />

40 bags of rubbish<br />

You said:<br />
Paulette Wood – Some<br />
people just make such a difference.<br />
We have these areas in<br />
our city where there used to be<br />
literally thousands of homes<br />
which were destroyed in our<br />
earthquakes in 2010. These areas<br />
would be terrible if they weren’t<br />
mowed and cared for. Because of<br />
him we have these massive areas<br />
of beautiful park-like greenery.<br />
Jan Kazmiersky – Shame<br />
on the council – the rates hike is<br />
for what?<br />
Tanya Didham – City<br />
council spends $4 million a year<br />
to mow the red zone – shouldn’t<br />
he be seeing some of that? Or is<br />
someone else getting paid to do<br />
it while Bryan does the work?<br />
Brenda Te Koeti – It looks<br />
so good. He should be paid out<br />
of the mayor’s pocket, for doing<br />
something the council should<br />
have done right from the start.<br />
Julie Tavendale - He’s brilliant,<br />
and it makes me feel good<br />
each time I pass by. Also the<br />
man who mows the strip from<br />
Burwood School to the drain<br />

Greetings to our<br />
Community.<br />
There is considerably<br />
increased community<br />
interest in Linwood<br />
College. People are hearing about our<br />
school’s re-development and they want to<br />
know more. I am often asked at various<br />
community events, “Why Linwood?” More<br />
and more people are keen to know what<br />
Linwood College can offer their children.<br />
There are three clear answers to this<br />
question.<br />
Firstly, our school nurtures personal<br />
excellence by providing varied opportunities<br />
to meet individual needs. At Linwood<br />
College learning success and personal wellbeing<br />
are inseparable. All Linwood learners<br />
can expect to be challenged, enriched and<br />
supported to reach personal excellence.<br />
Learning is personalised for a ‘love to learn’<br />
culture so that each learning stage builds<br />
upon one another to form an integrated,<br />
personalised pathway.<br />
Secondly, Linwood provides a safe, caring<br />
physical and emotional environment with<br />
positive systems and processes to support<br />
students and communicate with families.<br />
Well-being is at the heart of our school.<br />
Finally, Linwood College embraces diversity<br />
and inclusiveness. We see this as reflective<br />
of both New Zealand society today and of<br />
New Zealand’s global future. Linwood<br />
learners have a global understanding.<br />
These three answers about our school can<br />
be summarised in one phrase: Pathways to<br />
Excellence: learning and social well-being.<br />
In this season of school open nights I am<br />
holding regular appointments for families<br />
keen to learn more about Linwood College<br />
and meet me personally. Please phone the<br />
school office, phone 9820100, to book in a<br />
time.<br />
Nga mihi nui to our community as the<br />
positive activity of the year continues. I<br />
am always keen to meet people so if any<br />
member of the community wishes to talk to<br />
me about anything, please contact the office<br />
to arrange a time for this to occur. My door<br />
is open.<br />
Richard Edmundson - Tumuaki-Principal<br />
Congratulations - Rise in NCEA Results<br />
In early <strong>May</strong> our school received a letter<br />
from the Minister of Education, the<br />
Honourable Hekia Parata, congratulating<br />
the Board of Trustees and wider school<br />
on the significant improvements in our<br />
2016 NECA results. Students, staff and<br />
the Board are all pleased to receive this<br />
positive acknowledgement.<br />
Stepping into the Future - the shape of<br />
things to come<br />
Masterplanning is underway for our total<br />
school rebuild on our site with the physical<br />
work beginning in 2018. The time frame is<br />
three years, so that the College can function<br />
sensibly over the rebuild period.<br />
Responding to the clear community voice on<br />
Linwood College’s future direction, we will<br />
have purpose-built general and specialist<br />
facilities for classroom learning, sports and<br />
Duke of Edinburgh Expedition<br />
Seventeen students from Linwood College<br />
deployed on a 3-day, 62 kilometre journey<br />
with the Joshua Foundation to complete their<br />
Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award<br />
(DOEHA) Expedition.<br />
The expedition took place in challenging<br />
conditions through Motukarara, Little River,<br />
then through the Kaituna Valley to the<br />
Packhorse Hut and down to Gebbies Pass<br />
- with the last part of the expedition over<br />
the Banks Peninsula to Godley Heads and<br />
terminating at Taylors’ Mistake Beach.<br />
cultural pursuits.<br />
Our classrooms will have the flexibility of<br />
size to suit the student and the nature of the<br />
learning occurring. Our facilities will centre<br />
on learner-autonomy for personalised<br />
success and future-focussed employability<br />
and leadership skills.<br />
A Linwood learner is nationally and globally<br />
prepared.<br />
Under the guidance of Chris Allan from the<br />
Joshua Foundation, the students developed<br />
their leadership knowledge and forged strong<br />
personal relationships with each other with<br />
great results.<br />
Chris Allan and the Joshua Foundation has<br />
worked with Linwood College over the past<br />
nine years serving our school community<br />
with hundreds of students successfully<br />
completing the various awards.<br />
Families roll up for Dessert<br />
This month the Linwood College Hospitality<br />
Department held a dessert restaurant over<br />
two nights. Year 13 hospitality students<br />
worked hard during Term 1, trialling mini<br />
desserts for the degustation event with<br />
Year 12 hospitality students trained in table<br />
service.<br />
The evenings would not have been as<br />
successful as they were, without the hard<br />
work and planning by former Linwood<br />
College student Navneet Narayan. These<br />
evenings are deservedly attracting more<br />
and more attention.<br />

The<br />
Principal’s<br />
Desk<br />
Kia ora and welcome to all readers.<br />
Harry romana, Principal<br />
in upcoming weeks, parents with Year 8<br />
students will be making some big decisions regarding their child’s secondary<br />
schooling, and which school is the best fit for them.<br />
This issue has garnered a lot of media attention of late, provoking much<br />
thought and debate in the process. recent articles in “The Press” have<br />
highlighted the issues of students travelling long distances to get to school,<br />
with many enrolling in secondary schools far outside their local area.<br />
There is a long embedded cultural perception by christchurch parents about<br />
the choice and perception of the school. in social situations often a question<br />
is, “What school did you attend?” There will often be a perceived social status<br />
attached, which may or may not bear any reality to what is actually going on<br />
inside the school.<br />
The introduction of the government’s ‘Tomorrow’s Schools’ policy in 1989 has<br />
led to a highly- competitive school enrolment environment in every major<br />
region of our nation. Sadly, this has created perceptions of ‘have and have<br />
not schools’; this is an unhealthy and untenable situation. a school should<br />
be the heart of a community. after all, it is our schools which provide the<br />
leaders, innovators, and creators of the future.<br />
Some students do not enter our school house; they walk by our gates and<br />
attend the local single sex school or integrated school down the road. i have<br />
no issue with this. Parents have a right to make this choice. i am however<br />
very concerned when parents choose to bypass all the many excellent local<br />
schools in their area to send their child to a school across the city: the great<br />
east vs. West divide. What is this saying about all of our local schools? We are<br />
a group of primary and secondary schools which can match or better the<br />
education outcomes of students in any region of our country.<br />
Ki O Rahi<br />
Ki o rahi is a traditional Maori ball game that has been played for centuries, and<br />
familiar to the Maori Battalion. The game is similar to, or a combination of, touch,<br />
netball and rugby with two teams both defending and attacking simultaneously.<br />
Thanks to our haoura council (student health and wellbeing committee), Mairehau<br />
high School now has the only Ki o rahi field of its kind in the South island.<br />
Ki o rahi is played with a small round ball called ki. For the creation of this field,<br />
native grasses and a rock were sourced from the canterbury Plains, as this is the<br />
land of Ngai Tahu. a school and community working bee was organised to plant<br />
the grasses, and the team had their mathematic skills tested with the concentric<br />
circles and plant placement – but it was worth it – the field looks amazing.<br />
The field was officially opened by our Principal, Mr romana, and Whaea Dayna<br />
Napa on the 7th april <strong>2017</strong>. after the ceremony, the last grass was symbolically<br />
planted into the ground, and the first official game of Ki o rahi - with the Year 13<br />
Pe class taking on the Toa Sport Team, from ara institute of canterbury.<br />
We are now looking to make some stone Pou - stakes or symbols that represent the<br />
7 stars of Matariki which signal the beginning of the Māori New Year. These Pou will<br />
represent our Waka (houses). The next step of the total field rejuvenation project,<br />
is the planning of fitness stations. a big shout out to the haoura council who did<br />
tremendous work to make this happen.<br />
(Written by hauora council members Kyla Dench (Year 10 Dean) and Jackson Smith<br />
(Year 13 student)<br />
a wide range of skills will be learnt and improved while playing Ki o rahi such as<br />
side stepping, one and two handed accurate passing and catching, flag ripping<br />
skills, jump shots and accurate shooting/throwing, and blocking.<br />
roy Drew was a Year 13 student in 2016. he was awarded the top athlete at the<br />
2016 canterbury inter school competition in Ki o rahi run by Toa sports.<br />
Ki o rahi is an incredibly fast and exciting game to play and watch and is bound to<br />
catch on quickly with people of all ages.<br />
The schools in the east are fantastic. check out our education review office<br />
(ero) reports and our Ncea reports, visit the schools and talk to principals.<br />
enter through our school gates and find out more about your local school,<br />
and make an informed decision.<br />
Why would you consider enrolling your child in Mairehau high School?<br />
The simple answer to this question is: the teachers in our school house are<br />
committed, passionate, and dedicated. We are a small school with a caring,<br />
community feel. We will get to know your child well, and work with you<br />
as a parent to ensure positive and enriching learning experiences for your<br />
child. We pride ourselves on our innovative and caring staff, and we value<br />
individuality and difference,<br />

Year 9 Glentui Meadows Centre camp<br />
in the last week of Term 1, Year 9 students went on camp to glentui Meadows<br />
centre near oxford. The camp is called Piki mai kake mai, which means 'welcome<br />
on board' and represents both the opportunity for students to get to know one<br />
another on a deeper level and expresses the focus of our camp: To fully induct and<br />
welcome students to the ‘Mairehau Way’, to come aboard our waka.<br />
The two night camp included a range of adventure based activities such as<br />
abseiling, kayaking, river walks and orienteering. The Year 13 and Year 12 outdoor<br />
education students accompanied the Year 9 students, running adventure based<br />
learning sessions and leading groups. The camp provided valuable experiences for<br />
all and was thoroughly enjoyed by both the students and staff.<br />
Smokefreerockquest <strong>2017</strong><br />

Falter, who were the National winners in 2003.<br />

Migraine relief<br />
Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck<br />
It’s not very well known that almost 13<br />
percent of people – including childrensuffer<br />
from headaches and migraines.<br />
It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in<br />
the world and causes 91 percent of the<br />
people it affects to miss work or reduce<br />
their functional capacity. In the past 10<br />
years, the understanding of what causes<br />
headaches and migraines has significantly<br />
changed. The research now shows that<br />
the sensitisation of the brain stem in<br />
your neck is what causes this pain; and<br />
the specially trained physiotherapists at<br />
Muscle People are well versed in how to<br />
treat it.<br />
Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle<br />
People, had this to say about her<br />
experience: “My migraines were<br />
debilitating and they’d often come without<br />
warning. Sometimes once a week, but<br />
generally about once a month. I’d moved<br />
up from Dunedin where I’d managed them<br />
with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In<br />
Christchurch I was so reluctant to let<br />
anyone near my neck. I read the article<br />
and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I<br />
went to the first appointment with a page<br />
of all the concerns I had. The first time I<br />
met Laurie I remember walking out and<br />
feeling more in control. After about four<br />
treatments with Laurie and perfecting the<br />
technique she taught me I truly began to<br />
reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I<br />
feel a migraine coming on I now have the<br />
control to manage it myself, even stopping<br />
them from taking over, without needing<br />
someone to drive me in to the osteopath<br />
or the hospital for an injection to relieve<br />
the pain. With the technique Laurie<br />
taught me I’m armed and dangerous!”<br />
Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained<br />
in Australia in the award winning and<br />
ground breaking Watson Approach to<br />
dealing with headaches and migraines.<br />
This proven method examines and treats<br />
the movements of the first three segments<br />
of the neck, which when sensitised cause<br />
headaches and migraines.<br />
“In our clinics we see people from<br />
as far away as Invercargill who come<br />
to us specially to seek treatment” says<br />
Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People<br />
Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium<br />
in Australia we went to just recently<br />
reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we<br />
do, and honed our skills even more.”<br />
Generally patients will come to our<br />
clinic four or five times in the first few<br />
weeks of treatment. We show them some<br />
very simple exercises to do at home. After<br />
the first few weeks, treatment sessions are<br />
guided by how the patient is feeling.<br />
“Often patients come to us at the end<br />
of a long journey having tried quite a few<br />
other treatments, and we are able to help<br />
them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie<br />
says.<br />
“If I feel a migraine<br />
coming on I now have<br />
the control to manage<br />
it myself.”<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Time Honoured<br />
Remedy<br />
1 in 2 People<br />
Deficient in B12<br />
According to a country Doctor “D.C. Jarvis”<br />
from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and<br />
honey (CV & H) can be an important part of<br />
a long healthy life. Dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters<br />
who regularly consumed cider vinegar and<br />
honey had excellent health with many putting<br />
in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even<br />
when well into their eighties.<br />
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar<br />
and honey on arthritis can be remarkable<br />
with many patients reporting almost total<br />
relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar<br />
and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid<br />
and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted<br />
calcium deposits and helped the body control<br />
calcium use.<br />
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found<br />
regular administration of cider vinegar and<br />
honey at the onset of complaints such<br />
as the common cold, sinusitis,<br />
asthmatic attacks, hay fever,<br />
and childhood diseases<br />
such as chicken pox<br />
and measles, was<br />
accompanied by<br />
an improvement<br />
in the condition<br />
with symptoms<br />
either disappearing,<br />
or the conditions were<br />
extremely mild and soon<br />
over.<br />
Apple cider vinegar contains all the goodness<br />
of the apple in a form that is readily accepted<br />
by the body. Scientists have found over 90<br />
different substances in ACV, among them 20<br />
important trace elements, minerals, essential<br />
enzymes, a number of different acids including<br />
malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the<br />
form of potash and pectin. A scientific study<br />
at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven<br />
ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It can<br />
destroy free radicals, which are a major factor<br />
in ageing.) and also the ACV can break down<br />
cholesterol formations in the blood vessels.<br />
ACV and H is a powerful tonic that also<br />
promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients<br />
and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize<br />
any toxic substances that enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all cider vinegar<br />
is made in the traditional way and results are<br />
likely to prove disappointing with these other<br />
vinegars.<br />

Emerging research has shown as<br />
many as 50% of older adults and as<br />
many as 25% of younger adults are<br />
deficient in vitamin B12. Scientists at<br />
Rush University Medical Center found<br />
those most deficient in vitamin B12 to<br />
have the smallest brain mass and the<br />
lowest scores on tests measuring shortterm<br />
memory, concentration and brain<br />
performance. Another study showed<br />
that older people with higher levels of<br />
B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier<br />
brains and score higher on cognitive<br />
tests than those with lower levels. Yet<br />
another recent landmark study showed<br />
that B12 supplementation slows the<br />
accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and<br />
declining cognitive function. B12 is essential<br />
for energy production, cell health, regulation of<br />
mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair,<br />
and prevention of homocysteine a serious<br />
cardiovascular risk factor that is known to<br />
cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels.<br />
It can also increase the chances of a stroke.<br />
Harvard researchers found a 34% decrease risk<br />
of vision loss in a study of participants aged<br />
40+ who supplemented with B12. Another<br />
study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12 appears<br />
to be our body’s ability to absorb it declining<br />
with age as the digestive system becomes less<br />
efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other<br />
drugs further reduce B12 absorption. The good<br />
news is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin<br />
sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the<br />
mouth and thru bypassing the digestive tract<br />
have been shown to effectively raise B12 levels<br />
in the body.<br />
