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 />

FRUSTRATED:<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Namaste and Kumusta.<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 />

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 />

Encouraging ExcEllEncE in our community<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 />

Find out more about Mairehau high School, your community school. come<br />

and see us and attend our open evening on the <strong>23</strong>rd <strong>May</strong>. We would love to<br />

see you there.<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 />

rockquest was founded by two music teachers in 1988 (glenn common and Pete<br />

For example, Bic runga, anika Moa, Nesian Mystik and our very own student band<br />

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

This year we have three entries with one group and two soloists carrying on our<br />

proud tradition. entrants have to write and perform original music.<br />

This year we have the group, heck, i Don’t Know – ella Peoples, rachel Wilson,<br />

Maddy Bouma and Tammy reynard, and soloist entrants, rachel Nolan and Moeka<br />

PEGASUS POST<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 />
