Red light runners risk pupil safety<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

RED LIGHT runners are putting<br />

primary school pupils at risk.<br />

Shirley Primary School, the city<br />

council and the police are acting<br />

quickly after fears for pupils<br />

safety when crossing Shirley Rd.<br />

There is a signalised pedestrian<br />

crossing outside the school but<br />

red light runners have caused<br />

serious concern.<br />

Deputy principal Sandra<br />

Jamieson said it’s only a matter<br />

of time before a pupil is hurt.<br />

“It’s not a matter of if someone<br />

gets injured. It’s when,” she said.<br />

An urgent meeting was held<br />

between school staff, city council<br />

parking enforcement staff and<br />

traffic engineer Penny Gray,<br />

members and staff from the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board, the police and parents<br />

last Wednesday to discuss ways<br />

to improve safety.<br />

Community board chairwoman<br />

Ali Jones said off the back<br />

of the meeting, the group came<br />

away with seven action points.<br />

“The school is not that obvious,<br />

it actually looks like a big<br />

office block . . . if drivers<br />

are aware there are<br />

children in the area they<br />

will slow down,” Ms<br />

Jones said.<br />

Plans likely to be<br />

implemented include<br />

a sign that warns of<br />

children in the area, increased<br />

police presence,<br />

increased city council<br />

enforcement and pupils carrying<br />

flags as they cross the road.<br />

Sandra<br />

Jamieson<br />

Mrs Jamieson said they were<br />

also looking at having a longer<br />

waiting time between the<br />

light changing red and the<br />

crossing turning green.<br />

“It will be a combined<br />

effort. The sign, police<br />

enforcing, city council enforcing<br />

and also someone<br />

suggested the children<br />

holding flags as they cross<br />

the road like they already<br />

do at<br />

St Albans Primary,” Ms Jones<br />

said.<br />

A full safety audit by the city<br />

council, of traffic from Hills Rd<br />

to The Palms Shopping Centre<br />

has also begun. Although ideas<br />

such as a flashing 40km/h signs<br />

outside the school were also<br />

proposed but is unlikely to go<br />

ahead.<br />

But due to traffic congestion<br />

along Shirley Rd after school,<br />

Mrs Jamieson said it wasn’t so<br />

much an issue of speed as red<br />

light running.<br />

Ms Jones said changes would<br />

be in place within four weeks.<br />

Back to the<br />

future for<br />

new school<br />

Haeata Community<br />

College might be only<br />

six-months-old but<br />

it is relying on an old<br />

favourite to motivate<br />

students. Instead of a<br />

buzzer or bell to start<br />

classes, Bob Marley<br />

music plays instead.<br />

HOW TIMES have changed.<br />

Reporter Sarla Donovan reports<br />

today (pages 6-7) on Haeata<br />

Community College six months<br />

after it opened. The school, an<br />

amalgamation of Aranui High<br />

and Aranui, Avondale and<br />

Wainoni primary schools – is full<br />

of innovation and newness.<br />

I remember Aranui High during<br />

my days there as being innovative.<br />

Great teachers who thought outside<br />

of the square and encouraged us to<br />

do the same.<br />

They also encouraged us to<br />

play basketball well, which was a<br />

bonus to the hard graft of getting<br />

through English, history, and<br />

other classes.<br />

Back then we had a buzzer that<br />

alerted us it was time to put the<br />

basketball away and go to class.<br />

The buzzer has now gone and Bob<br />

Marley music plays instead.<br />

My old school mates would<br />

have been very happy with that.<br />

Brighton fridge offers free food<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

FREE FOOD is about to be<br />

given away in New Brighton.<br />

Waimairi Beach’s Trudy<br />

Burrows is behind the project,<br />

which opens on <strong>June</strong> 27 and<br />

was inspired after she saw<br />

a newspaper article about a<br />

successful trial run in central<br />

Auckland last year.<br />

The free food fridge will offer<br />

food donated by members of the<br />

public, cafes and supermarkets.<br />

It will all be free to those who<br />

need it.<br />

“I just felt it’s the right thing<br />

to do. There’s so much hunger in<br />

the world, it’s hard to think how<br />

one can make a difference, so<br />

you end up doing nothing, and<br />

that’s what I often do. But this<br />

seemed easy. I started step-bystep<br />

and the doors just opened.<br />

The community’s been right<br />

behind it, everyone’s been so<br />

supportive.”<br />

Mrs Burrows said the city<br />

council liked the idea and were<br />

interested in starting one in the<br />

city, but she was determined<br />

that New Brighton was the right<br />

community to do it in.<br />

“For me, it had to be Brighton<br />

first; I guess because I live here,<br />

my passion is here.”<br />

FOOD: Trudy Burrows in the shed which will house a free food<br />

fridge and pantry outside St Faith’s Church, New Brighton,<br />

from <strong>June</strong> 27.<br />

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS<br />

The fridge, in the grounds of<br />

St Faith’s Church on Hawke St<br />

will be open 12 hours a day.<br />

People can donate canned or<br />

unopened dry goods or surplus<br />

fresh fruits and vegetables from<br />

their gardens. Local cafes and<br />

supermarkets are encouraged<br />

to bring down excess food at<br />

the end of the day. “Muffins,<br />

quiches, sandwiches things like<br />

that.”<br />

It’s housed in a new cedar-clad<br />

shed that’s just been assembled<br />

by her husband and son who<br />

is a builder. The fridge will be<br />

donated by Skope.<br />

Mrs Burrows is still<br />

fundraising to pay for the cost of<br />

the shed, but said businesses had<br />

donated small things which had<br />

really helped, like bricks, pens<br />

and paper bags.<br />

“Just things you don’t think of<br />

but they all add up.”<br />

She has applied to the Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board<br />

for a grant and is also on the<br />

hunt for volunteers to help with<br />

checking stock.<br />

Everyone is welcome to take<br />

what they need from the fridge –<br />

no questions asked.<br />

“Take what you need. Leave<br />

what you don’t.”<br />

•You can support the food<br />

fridge at the open day on<br />

Tuesday, <strong>June</strong> 27, 1pm, at<br />

St Faith’s Church, cnr Shaw<br />

Ave and Hawke St, New<br />

Brighton.<br />

In Brief<br />

RICCARTON MARKET<br />

WON’T CLOSE<br />

An article on plans for New<br />

Brighton’s future in the <strong>Pegasus</strong><br />

<strong>Post</strong> on May 30 said the Riccarton<br />

market was closing. This was<br />

incorrect. The Riccarton Rotary<br />

Club, which has run the market for<br />

29 years, said it holds a secure lease<br />

over the property at Riccarton<br />

Park Raceway which extends well<br />

into the <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>s and the market will<br />

continue to operate “for years to<br />

come.” We apologise for the error.<br />

MONEY FOR 360 TRAIL<br />

The mayor has recommended<br />

the city council bring forward<br />

$416,160 in capital expenditure to<br />

enable the South Brighton estuary<br />

edge section of the 360 Trail<br />

walking track to be completed.<br />

The trail is about 135km long and<br />

links up many existing tracks and<br />

urban routes. The expenditure is<br />

expected to be met from other projects<br />

and will not impact on rates.<br />

FOOTPATH REPAIRS<br />

Work has begun to reseal one<br />

side of the footpath on Pages Rd<br />

between Anzac Dr and the Pages<br />

Rd bridge. The footpath on the<br />

other side will be patched up. A<br />

permanent fix will be on the cards<br />

when the bridge is rebuilt between<br />

Erosion fear for domain<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

A PROPOSED 190m stopbank<br />

adjacent to Bridge St will reduce<br />

flood levels in South Brighton<br />

but there are questions over<br />

whether it will stop the swift<br />

rate of erosion in South Brighton<br />

Domain.<br />

Adam Perry, who has lived in<br />

the area for 43 years, has written<br />

to the Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board about the speed<br />

of deterioration<br />

along the estuary<br />

edge of the<br />

domain.<br />

The earthquakes<br />

caused<br />

significant land<br />

Adam Perry<br />

drop, destroying<br />

much of the existing<br />

gabion basket protection.<br />

Heavy rains in April have sped<br />

up the process, Mr Perry says,<br />

threatening to wash away new<br />

planting.<br />

“The school, campground<br />

and more are at risk from the<br />

next winter storm. Before all the<br />

hours of community planting<br />

gets washed away, can we please<br />

have some action,” he told the<br />

<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong>.<br />

Mr Perry’s concerns are<br />

echoed by community board<br />

member Tim Sintes.<br />

“Water at high tide is getting<br />

into soft sand and eating it<br />

quickly. What I thought would<br />

take six months has happened<br />

in just one. If we don’t do something,<br />

the rate of erosion is going<br />

to keep speeding up.”<br />

In some places, the estuary<br />

edge had receded up to 12m, he<br />

said.<br />

Head of strategic policy at the<br />

city council, Helen Beaumont,<br />

said the repairs to the boardwalk<br />

and jetty in South New Brighton<br />

Park included erosion protection<br />

for those facilities.<br />

“A new, short length of stopbank<br />

is (also) proposed adjacent<br />

to Bridge St to fill a low point<br />

in the existing topography.<br />

The proposed stopbank will be<br />

constructed in the vicinity of the<br />

existing estuary edge footpath.<br />

These works will not alleviate all<br />

flood risk to South New Brighton<br />

area, but it will reduce flood<br />

levels.”<br />

The proposed stopbank is currently<br />

in the design and consenting<br />

stage, she said.<br />

“The city council plans to enact<br />

the works within the next six<br />

months, but this is dependent on<br />

successful application of resource<br />

consent.”<br />

“The bund is approximately<br />

190m long, with a maximum<br />

height of approximately 850mm<br />

(typically between 400mm and<br />

CONCERN:<br />

Plans to stop<br />

estuary-causing<br />

erosion at<br />

South Brighton<br />

Domain may<br />

not be enough,<br />

locals say.<br />

700mm) and a crest width of approximately<br />

1m.”<br />

Mr Perry questioned where the<br />

proposed new stopbank would<br />

start and stop.<br />

“There needs to be protection<br />

all the way along to the jetty.<br />

What’s the plan for the exposed<br />

bit in between? It doesn’t sound<br />

sufficient.”<br />

Tim Sintes said gabion baskets<br />

destroyed in the earthquakes<br />

should be rebuilt.<br />

“I want to see the protection<br />

reinstated as it was. We know it<br />

worked; why not fix it? There’s<br />

examples of baskets that didn’t<br />

slump and they are working<br />

beautifully.”<br />

In Brief<br />

CLOCK REPAIRS<br />

The New Brighton clock tower<br />

will be fully repaired by summer,<br />

with work expected to begin in<br />

spring. A detailed engineering<br />

evaluation has been completed<br />

which notes the structural and<br />

cosmetic repairs required, such<br />

as rust staining, and a full scope<br />

of repair and restoration work is<br />

currently under way.<br />

BOY RECEIVES TRIKE<br />

A Parklands boy has received<br />

funding from the Mazda<br />

Foundation to purchase<br />

a specialised trike. Mikey<br />

Lavender, 11, who has down<br />

syndrome, received $1399 in<br />

funding for the trike, which will<br />

enable him to build strength and<br />

cognitive ability, and allow him<br />

to go bike riding with his family<br />

in nearby Bottle Lake Forest. The<br />

Mazda Foundation is funded<br />

through a contribution from the<br />

sale of every new Mazda in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

DANCER GETS GRANT TO<br />

GO TO NATIONAL SCHOOL<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board has given Parklands ballet<br />

dancer Anna McKay, 12, $225<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Brighton’s green future<br />

Treaty educator<br />

and Green Party<br />

candidate for<br />

Christchurch<br />

east, Cathy<br />

Sweet, believes<br />

New Brighton<br />

has all the ingredients<br />

to become a magnet for<br />

ecotourism<br />

The locals know about it and<br />

that’s why we live here . . . the<br />

huge expanses of recreation<br />

reserves, river tracks and great<br />

water sports, the estuary birdlife<br />

and yachting, the beach life,<br />

swimming and surfing.<br />

Ecotourism is the perfect<br />

drawcard to get local and international<br />

visitors coming to our<br />

village and spending at our vital<br />

local businesses. These days most<br />

travellers are looking for something<br />

to do that will revitalise<br />

their interest in life again, that<br />

will show them different views,<br />

culture and perspective, that will<br />

excite or move them. Another<br />

mall won’t give them that lifelong<br />

memory.<br />

East Christchurch can offer the<br />

drawcard of family-friendly and<br />

lower cost activities. Ecotourism<br />

is about entertainment and<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

YOGA, HOT hula, fitness<br />

demonstrations and top-team<br />

are some of the activities on offer<br />

at the annual Aranui Health<br />

Day.<br />

Aranui<br />

neighbourhood nurse<br />

Hannah Laughton is<br />

organising the event,<br />

which she started<br />

planning for in March.<br />

She said she aims<br />

to have a full range of<br />

stalls and interactive<br />

activities for both<br />

parents and children.<br />

“The last couple of years we’ve<br />

focused on well-being, with<br />

crafts like screen printing and<br />

activities that don’t cost a lot<br />

of natural resources to build,<br />

and don’t involve fossil fuels<br />

and pollution to maintain. This<br />

includes the beautiful murals on<br />

New Brighton shop walls and<br />

Peter Donnelly’s internationally<br />

known sand art.<br />

And now the east has the big,<br />

new opportunity we have been<br />

waiting for: A river park from<br />

city to beach. Without having to<br />

leave town, locals and travellers<br />

will be able to get into the great<br />

outdoors to gain all the physical<br />

walking, cycling and boating<br />

in amongst native forest and<br />

birdlife. The east Christchurch<br />

waterpark concept would be a<br />

further stunning attraction.<br />

Eco-design is the very latest<br />

lantern-making. And this year,<br />

we’re introducing reiki and hand<br />

massage just to mix it up,” she<br />

said.<br />

About 35 stallholders are<br />

expected at this year’s event and<br />

each one will bring a<br />

small gift to contribute to<br />

the spot prizes awarded<br />

during the day.<br />

“The prizes are mixed<br />

up and this allows their<br />

organisations brand<br />

to be out there in the<br />

public in another way<br />

and hopefully gain more<br />

exposure/clients as a<br />

result. So it is win-win,”<br />

said Ms Laughton.<br />

More than 500 people attended<br />

last year’s event.<br />

trend, so how do we make sure<br />

there is enough ‘eco’ in our<br />

ecotourism that designers and<br />

mayors around the world are<br />

talking about us? Here we go<br />

. . . wind and solar powered<br />

amenities. The latest composting<br />

restroom facilities. Food containers<br />

that are made from renewable<br />

and compostable materials. Cycling<br />

options everywhere. Green<br />

cabs and buses. Organic snacks,<br />

and other quality local food and<br />

drink.<br />

And, of course, local hapu<br />

knowledge, both old and new,<br />

incorporated every step of the<br />

way as our country is in the very<br />

fortunate position of having iwirun<br />

corporations which ensure<br />

that there is always regard for<br />

future generations.<br />

ECOTOUR: Green Party candidate Cathy Sweet says<br />

ecotourism is about entertainment and activities that don’t use<br />

a lot of natural resources, like these murals in New Brighton<br />

mall.<br />

demonstrations, information<br />

Campbell has his blood<br />

pressure taken at last year’s<br />

event.<br />

We said:<br />

Panels erected to<br />

protect the New Brighton<br />

War Memorial have been<br />

described as “hideous”<br />

and a poor solution to the<br />

problem of graffiti<br />

You said:<br />

Linda Street – A<br />

heinous, appalling, shaming<br />

abomination. I actually prefer<br />

the graffiti. If I wanted to put<br />

flowers there today in memory<br />

of the soldiers who died in the<br />

Battle of Messines, I would have<br />

to place them in front of that<br />

plastic box. Horrible.<br />

Laurence Fairley – I had<br />

a meeting with David East, city<br />

councillor, two years ago about<br />

the disgraceful appearance of<br />

this memorial. The discussion<br />

was about techniques to<br />

remove graffiti from sandstone<br />

correctly. The discussion talked<br />

about video surveillance and<br />

ownership. Never in my wildest<br />

dreams did the wall come up.<br />

Talk about Berlin, Israel and the<br />

Mexican wall. Now Brighton<br />

has its own. The wall needs<br />

to be removed immediately.<br />

The memorial stands for far<br />

more than this. This wall<br />

sends the wrong message to<br />

the community and serves as<br />

a challenge to the protagonist<br />

vandals who think smearing<br />

this marker with their ‘sign’ is<br />

okay. What was that chant back<br />

in the 80s . . . Pull down that<br />

wall!<br />

News<br />

Raising eyebrows with a new way<br />

Reporter Sarla<br />

Donovan visits Aranui’s<br />

community school<br />

six months after it<br />

opened<br />

HAEATA. IT means “dawn.”<br />

The first appearance of light. New<br />

beginnings.<br />

The opening of Haeata Community<br />

College six months ago<br />

signposted a new era for schooling<br />

in the east. It’s a poster child<br />

for big-box classrooms, catering<br />

for up to <strong>20</strong>0 kids in one space.<br />

The year 1-13 school replaced<br />

Aranui High, Aranui<br />

Primary, Avondale Primary and<br />

Wainoni School after earthquake-damaged<br />

land and buildings<br />

and falling rolls prompted<br />

their closure.<br />

Bordering Shortland St and<br />

Breezes Rd, the size and newness<br />

of the buildings is striking.<br />

It looks like a large-scale primary<br />

school, with its sun shades,<br />

adventure playground and<br />

brightly coloured exterior panels.<br />

In the centre of the campus<br />

is a massive building housing<br />

the gymnasium, library, offices,<br />

cafeteria, kitchens and studios for<br />

music and drama.<br />

A glass-fronted atrium is at its<br />

heart, the school office tucked<br />

along one wall, in keeping with<br />

the open-plan vibe. It feels like a<br />

cross between a hotel lobby and a<br />

community hub.<br />

Opposite the office, a cafeteria<br />

displays the blackboard specials:<br />

today it’s creamy vege soup,<br />

nachos with melted cheese and<br />

a salad with bacon, haloumi and<br />

green beans. Mouse traps, wedges,<br />

pies and fruit salads feature<br />

in the cabinet. There’s only water<br />

and plain milk in the fridge and<br />

no processed food on offer.<br />

Kids sit at cafeteria tables<br />

wearing an assortment of clothing;<br />

hoodies and sneakers are<br />

popular. There is a uniform but<br />

the rules seem pretty flexible.<br />

Lavalava’s are everywhere the day<br />

I visit, all the teachers are wearing<br />

them and lots of students too.<br />

BUSY: Haeata Community College principal Andy Kai Fong has responsibility for over 900<br />

students from ages 5 to 18.<br />

PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

I find out later it’s because of Samoan<br />

Language Week. There are<br />

128 Samoans students at Haeata,<br />

making up the majority of its<br />

Pacific Island population.<br />

Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds<br />

blasts out of the sound system at<br />

9am. Children dash through the<br />

atrium, thread around cafeteria<br />

tables and tumble out the big<br />

glass doors, on their way to class.<br />

Principal Andy Kai Fong is<br />

determined to meet the 21stcentury<br />

head on and he’s at the<br />

helm of a school that looks and<br />

functions differently to a traditional<br />

model.<br />

Primary, intermediate and<br />

secondary-aged children sharing<br />

the same campus. Teachers<br />

operating in shared, open plan<br />

spaces rather than individual<br />

classrooms. A strong emphasis<br />

on self-management and studentdirected<br />

learning. Laptops and<br />

phones instead of pens. Ninety<br />

minute periods.<br />

There’s a lot that’s new about<br />

Haeata, and Mr Kai Fong freely<br />

admits their approach has raised<br />

a few eyebrows and may have<br />

lost them some students in the<br />

months since opening.<br />

He’s okay with that, and accepts<br />

there’s a possibility the roll<br />

could go down next year.<br />

They’re trying to take a more<br />

holistic approach to learning, he<br />

says, and it will take time to educate<br />

the community about what<br />

the school is trying to achieve.<br />

In spite of that, the roll of 950<br />

is healthy. They opened with<br />

50 per cent more students than<br />

anticipated and are catering for<br />

kids who have come from 122<br />

different schools.<br />

That figure reflects the transience<br />

in the area, as well as the<br />

school’s distinct character, which<br />

he says has attracted families<br />

from outside the local catchment.<br />

Their philosophy has something<br />

in common with Ao Tawhiti Unlimited<br />

Discovery, which also uses<br />

a model of personalised, studentdriven<br />

learning, though he points<br />

out most students at that school<br />

attend by choice, not because it’s<br />

their local provider.<br />

Ultimately, the aspiration is to<br />

become a viable alternative for<br />

everyone in the catchment. Historically,<br />

only 40 per cent of local<br />

kids in the Aranui/Wainoni area<br />

attended their local school.<br />

“We’re trying to bring people<br />

home and offer education that’s<br />

purposeful, but it’s challenging<br />

for our community to get<br />

their heads around. We have<br />

copped criticism for the level<br />

of self-management (we expect<br />

from students). For seniors particularly,<br />

it takes time to embed<br />

– we’ve flipped expectations on<br />

their head. Whatever your plan,<br />

there’s challenges.”<br />

Interestingly, Mr Kai Fong<br />

didn’t have any input into the<br />

buildings, but says it’s an amazing<br />

place to work and the big-box<br />

style has never impacted strongly<br />

on what they want to do for<br />

learning.<br />

“We utilise the buildings and<br />

furniture for what we need. We<br />

can have up to <strong>20</strong>0 students or<br />

just two in these flexible spaces.”<br />

LEARNING: Pupils focused at Haeata Community College.<br />

A whirlwind tour through the<br />

school’s three open-plan learning<br />

spaces throws up a busy and noisy<br />

primary school, where separate<br />

clusters of children are working<br />

with teachers. No dividers<br />

punctuate the room, apart from a<br />

half-wall which separates a group<br />

of high-needs pupils.<br />

A soft hush descends when we<br />

enter the senior school. Students<br />

are scattered around the central<br />

learning area, at tables or on<br />

the floor, intent on computers<br />

or phones. Jack’s on his laptop,<br />

writing a story for an animated<br />

computer game. The boy next<br />

to him is surfing Youtube; his<br />

self-directed learning has taken a<br />

detour. Phoenix is doing algebra<br />

– she’s planning to join the navy.<br />

While there’s not many posters<br />

or student work on display, that’s<br />

maybe a reflection of how new<br />

this all is. In a small classroom<br />

off the main area, the familiar<br />

sight of a maths class in progress:<br />

teacher, whiteboard and four<br />

students. Small group teaching<br />

seems to be the thing here.<br />

Mr Kai Fong says as technology<br />

evolves, schools need to stay<br />

relevant and engaging to young<br />

people. It’s a balancing act.<br />

As I go to leave, a little group of<br />

kids comes trotting past behind<br />

their teacher who’s carrying a<br />

yellow cricket bat, wickets and a<br />

ball. They’re heading for the gym.<br />

She looks young, energetic, and<br />

committed.<br />

Perhaps it’s that, more than<br />

buildings or philosophy, which<br />

will determine whether Haeata<br />

becomes the school of choice for<br />

its community.<br />

at the response from the<br />

Old School Community<br />

Hub project co-ordinator<br />

Rachel Welfare said interested<br />

parties included artists, a group<br />

looking for office space to run<br />

a magazine, a pregnancy care<br />

organisation and a Menz Shed<br />

group.<br />

“It’s an awesome crosssection<br />

and what we were really<br />

hoping for the space. People<br />

are continuing to apply and<br />

hopefully we’ll have a working<br />

bee at the end of the month to<br />

get the space ready for people to<br />

start moving in in July.”<br />

She said they were currently<br />

working through the process of<br />

fitting people into the rooms, as<br />

some only wanted to use space<br />

for an hour a week while others<br />

needed room full-time.<br />

Voice Choir. South Brighton<br />

Voices secretary Helen Buxton<br />

said Ms Chan contacted them<br />

when she heard the choir would<br />

be touring New Zealand, and<br />

they told her about their 70thjubilee<br />

concert.<br />

There were also some “city<br />

council hoops to jump through”<br />

to ensure the project receives<br />

a promised partial rates rebate.<br />

“The city council like the<br />

project and are supportive of it,”<br />

Miss Welfare said.<br />

“They want non-commercial<br />

users and we’re trying to figure<br />

She put them in touch with<br />

the conductor, Ieuan Jones, and<br />

they agreed to arrange their trip<br />

so they could perform at the<br />

concert.<br />

Mrs Buxton said it was very<br />

exciting for the Christchurch<br />

choir members.<br />

She said the Lions choir<br />

planned to perform Hallelujah<br />

by Rufus Wainwright<br />

as part of the concert, which<br />

would also feature a range of<br />

pieces from gospel songs to a<br />

NURSE MAUDE<br />

Loving home guaranteed<br />

for your hall table<br />

The Nurse Maude Hospice Shops are a<br />

well-known feature in Christchurch since<br />

the first hospice shop opened in Merivale<br />

nine years ago.<br />

Not quite so well-known, however, is<br />

Maudes on Trade Me.<br />

While the Hospice Shops sell clothing<br />

Maudes on Trade Me sells everything from<br />

antiques to sporting and household items.<br />

“If it’s still in good condition but you<br />

no longer want it, have room for it or will<br />

never use it again you can raise money for<br />

the Nurse Maude Hospice by donating it<br />

to us,” says Sue Bramwell, general manager<br />

marketing at Nurse Maude.<br />

While smaller pieces can be left for Maudes<br />

on Trade Me at any of the Nurse Maude<br />

Hospice Shops it is sometimes possible for<br />

larger or bulk items to be picked up.<br />

“Just give us a call on 375 4643 or email<br />

us at trademe.volunteers@nursemaude.org.<br />

nz first if you have large items and we can let<br />

you know where in Merivale to drop them<br />

off or whether we’re able to pick them up”<br />

says Bramwell.<br />

“Unfortunately we can’t take beds,<br />

mattresses or televisions, but we can take<br />

almost everything else in good condition.”<br />

“Maudes on Trade Me helps make it<br />

possible for patients and their families to<br />

receive care and support free of charge at the<br />

Nurse Maude Hospice so they can focus on<br />

what matters rather than having to worry<br />

about how they’re going to pay for that care.”<br />

Supermarket and council<br />

create new playground<br />

A collaboration between a<br />

local Wainoni business and<br />

the city council has seen<br />

an old playground opened<br />

with a new lease of life.<br />

Shortland playground in<br />

Wainoni faced an uncertain<br />

future when the new Wainoni<br />

Pak’n Save was rebuilt<br />

on its door step.<br />

But a joint effort from the<br />

city council and Pak’n Save<br />

saw a revamped playground<br />

opened to the public with<br />

a public planting day at the<br />

weekend.<br />

City council<br />

head of parks<br />

Andrew<br />

Rutledge (left)<br />

said Pak’n<br />

Save had<br />

approached<br />

the city council in April last<br />

year with an idea to keep<br />

the playground open.<br />

Improvements included<br />

removing the existing<br />

boundary fence with Pak’n<br />

Save, removing plants<br />

that were blocking sight<br />

lines, tidying up existing<br />

garden beds and planting<br />

around 300 new plants, a<br />

play surface and new paved<br />

surfaces.<br />

PLAYTIME: Lucas Taylor, 3, has some rides at the<br />

revamped Shortland playground. ​<br />

“It’s great to see the community<br />

and local businesses<br />

getting involved with the<br />

city council in the provision<br />

of parks and playgrounds,”<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

said Mr Rutledge.<br />

“The $50,000 contribution<br />

from Pak’n Save has<br />

kept the playground open<br />

for community use. Their<br />

funding has allowed for the<br />

relocation of some equipment<br />

and the removal of<br />

some plants to improve<br />

sightlines into the park<br />

which makes the park safer<br />

for the community. They<br />

have designed their staffrooms<br />

so they look out over<br />

the park which also assists<br />

with passive surveillance of<br />

the space.”<br />

varied. Linwood<br />

College nurtures personal excellence by<br />

providing diverse opportunities to meet<br />

individual needs, opportunities that support<br />

a personalised learning pathway.<br />

This pathway is now opening out to our<br />

partner schools. Linwood College is<br />

running a cycle of eight-week enrichment<br />

programmes for Year 6-8 learners in the<br />

May Music Month<br />

schools in our communities, Linwood-<br />

Woolston and the Bays. The programme is<br />

very well regarded by the young learners<br />

themselves and their schools. Debating was<br />

the first topic which culminated in a lively<br />

debate held at Sumner School. The present<br />

programme is Mathematics and is proving<br />

equally valued.<br />

Many people are keen to learn more<br />

about Linwood College. To this end, I am<br />

holding regular evening appointments for<br />

families keen to know more and to meet me<br />

personally. Please phone the school office,<br />

anything. My door is open.<br />

Samoan Speech Competition Success<br />

To start winter off with a bang on 1st <strong>June</strong>,<br />

students from Linwood College pitted<br />

themselves against other talented Samoan<br />

speakers from Christchurch schools, as part<br />

of the annual Samoan Speech Competition.<br />

Held at Hillmorton High School, the event<br />

was opened by Leumu Gali, St Thomas of<br />

Canterbury College's Samoan Language<br />

teacher. This year’s topic was: 'Maau i ofaga,<br />

Maua'a lou faasinomaga' ('Keep your identity<br />

alive to thrive').<br />

With more than 100 students competing,<br />

Linwood College's Gloria Sua won first place<br />

in the Year 11 section with Tala Leupolu<br />

(Year 12) achieving third place. Two Year 13s<br />

achieved placings wtih Vai Mariner getting<br />

second place and Janet Tuiloma, third.<br />

It was Janice Tuiloma’s first competition.<br />

students and a Bollywood dance followed<br />

the Year 7 students’ drama which kicked off<br />

the evening. The school band performed<br />

many melodious pieces.<br />

Surrounded by vibrant colours and sound,<br />

the audience clapped along to the smooth<br />

reggae tones of Tyrone TePoono as he<br />

crooned Six60’s Don’t Forget Your Roots.<br />

Adonai Schwenke’s thunderous tones<br />

reverberated Tennesse Whiskey’s lyrics<br />

throughout Eastgate to a cheering crowd.<br />

With a dabble of jazz, a smoky solo by Piper<br />

Stewart, a splash of drumming by Luke<br />

Barry, one Samoan dance later - onlookers<br />

were bursting full from the smorgasbord of<br />

the evening’s cultural flavours.<br />

Organisers stated that the event had been<br />

inspired by Linwood College's ‘Festival of<br />

Nations’ held back in March and hope that<br />

this enchanting evening may become an<br />

annual event to showcase local talent.<br />

Students from Year 7 and 8 performing at Eastgate<br />

Library during May Music Month<br />

As the nine o’clock bell tolled, the Linwood<br />

College hall was abuzz with the humming<br />

of table-top timers as students of all ages<br />

from across Christchurch competed. This<br />

gathering was for the annual Chess Power<br />

Interschools Tournament, held on the 22<br />

May.<br />

Seven Linwood College students vied<br />

against students from nine local schools,<br />

achieving twenty-three wins in total. As a<br />

result Linwood College secured first place<br />

in the tournament.<br />

Senior students Marvin Brimon, Joshua<br />

Galang and Ly Jefferson Brimon as well as<br />

Ivo Craeig Baguingey (Year 8) achieved the<br />

four top placings throughout the day.<br />

Marvin Brimon came out on top, winning<br />

six matches and has been invited to<br />

compete in the National Championship<br />

to be held in Hamilton in October.<br />

Congratulations to you all!<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />

on to the sports field?<br />

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />

hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />

behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />

such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />

it is located.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

Headaches,<br />

facial and jaw pain<br />

Physical Sense Gym & Physio, located in Colombo Street Sydenham,<br />

focuses both on helping people stay physically fit and healthy, and<br />

helping people to overcome various health problems.<br />

At the adjoining physio<br />

clinic, the four qualified<br />

physiotherapists specialise<br />

in dealing with chronic pain,<br />

such as headaches, earache, toothache,<br />

and facial and jaw pain.<br />

As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk<br />

explains, when our muscles tighten<br />

this can refer pain to many of the areas<br />

around the face and head. Dehydration<br />

can be the catalyst for tightening the neck<br />

muscle (SCM), which causes pain in the<br />

ear, forehead and around the eye and jaw<br />

joint areas. Tightening of the temporalis<br />

muscle can refer pain to the teeth, which<br />

can be confusing when the person<br />

visits the dentist to have it checked and<br />

the dentist can’t find a reason for the<br />

recurring pain.<br />

Teeth grinding at night and teeth<br />

clenching during the day, are also a major<br />

cause of muscle tightening.<br />

Physiotherapy treatment for these<br />

problems, is based on deactivating<br />

the ‘trigger points’ through handson<br />

massage therapy, to relax the<br />

muscles, which is the least invasive<br />

and a very effective form of treatment.<br />

Dry needling is another technique used<br />

for muscle relaxation, but is only used with<br />

the client’s consent, Ietje says.<br />

“We release the muscles to give<br />

immediate relief and at the same time<br />

work on the cause. For example, we have<br />

a feedback headband that is worn at night<br />

to help people to learn not to clench their<br />

teeth while they’re asleep. We also work<br />

on the client’s cervical or neck part of the<br />

spine, where overuse can cause muscles<br />

to tighten, creating pain.”<br />

Teaching self-management of stress<br />

is an important aspect of the clinic’s<br />

treatment, as well as teaching breathing<br />

techniques, which go hand in hand with<br />

managing stress.<br />

The gym is open to the public for<br />

regular specialised classes for people with<br />

ailments such as diabetes, osteoporosis,<br />

vascular problems, and those who face<br />

difficulties following a stroke.<br />

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample<br />

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />

Creating a Better<br />

Denture Experience<br />

When was the last time you<br />

had your dentures checked?<br />

Call us today for your FREE<br />

check today.<br />

At Better Denture, the denture clinic<br />

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim<br />

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth,<br />

says experienced dental technician and<br />

owner Chris Castle.<br />

“We focus on making it easier for people<br />

coming here to have dentures made or<br />

maintained with our relaxed environment<br />

and friendly approach.”<br />

Chris understands that people can be a bit<br />

nervous about coming into a dental clinic,<br />

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome<br />

and comfortable at Better Denture by<br />

breaking down those barriers and putting<br />

them at ease.<br />

The process of having new dentures made<br />

and fitted usually takes four appointments,<br />

and Chris explains the process step by step<br />

so patients understand what’s being done,<br />

further complete after care is provided at no<br />

additional cost.<br />

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite<br />

by hand, using higher grade materials as<br />

standard, allowing us the ability to customise<br />

every aspect of the process. We also aim to<br />

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures,<br />

with same day repairs and relines on offer,<br />

as well as being available on Saturdays,<br />

allowing us to work around even the busiest<br />

schedules,” he says.<br />

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create<br />

the best possible denture experience for<br />

you, the customer, whether it be through<br />

the products we custom create, the service<br />

we provide or the manner in which strive to<br />

achieve both of those goals.”<br />

Anyone needing new dentures is invited<br />

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050,<br />

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious<br />

and welcoming, and patients are invited to<br />

bring someone with them for support at any<br />

appointment if they wish.<br />

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby,<br />

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday,<br />

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm.<br />

Off-street parking and wheelchair access<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Natural product<br />

improves joint health<br />

For many of us, as we grow older our<br />

joints start to become stiff, sore and swollen,<br />

reducing mobility and quality of life.<br />

Most of these joint problems are caused<br />

by a lack of cartilage or damage to the<br />

cartilage, which is the soft, spongy material<br />

between the moving bones. The body<br />

continually produces cartilage, but factors<br />

like digestive and health issues, and not<br />

enough of the right nutrients in the diet,<br />

slow its production. If the cartilage wears<br />

away more quickly than it is replaced,<br />

the bone ends can start rubbing together,<br />

causing reduced joint movement, pain,<br />

swelling and inflammation of the joint.<br />

Generally, the joints with the most use or<br />

stress show problems first, but eventually<br />

other joints may show problems too.<br />

Luckily, certain nutrients are known to<br />

support and stimulate cartilage production.<br />

Pure Vitality is a small West Coast<br />

company, where they are committed to<br />

producing effective, natural, life-changing<br />

health supplements. While most joint care<br />

products on the market are very similar,<br />

Pure Vitality wants their products to be<br />

the most effective. Their new Joint Vitality<br />

product contains scientifically researched,<br />

high-potency natural ingredients to<br />

provide a multipronged approach to joint<br />

health.<br />

As well as a full therapeutic dose of<br />

the more common glucosamine and<br />

chondroitin, Joint Vitality contains a<br />

concentrated deer antler velvet extract to<br />

help stimulate healing. Another unique<br />

ingredient is joint fluid or mega-potent<br />

hyaluronic acid. This has been shown in<br />

clinical trials to be more effective than<br />

glucosamine and chondroitin.<br />

Joint Vitality also contains enhanced<br />

absorption turmeric extract, as well as<br />

the highest- potency extract of boswellia<br />

available to reduce inflammation, swelling<br />

and pain, and speed joint recovery.<br />

The formula also provides antioxidants<br />

from grape seed extract to support cellular<br />

joint health, and vitamin D3, zinc, boron,<br />

manganese, copper and selenium, all<br />

critical to optimum joint health.<br />

This comprehensive formula is designed<br />

to provide fast, lasting results. It is<br />

recommended to take three capsules daily<br />

with food for the first box or two to obtain<br />

the maximum benefits. One box of 60<br />

capsules is $49.90.<br />

The importance of good blood pressure!<br />

According to a country Doctor “D.C.<br />

Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider<br />

vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an<br />

important part of a long healthy life. Dr.<br />

Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly<br />

consumed cider vinegar and honey had<br />

excellent health with many putting in a<br />

vigorous day’s work on the farm even when<br />

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<br />

vinegar and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />

the acid and potassium in cider vinegar<br />

counteracted calcium deposits and helped<br />

the body control calcium use.<br />

As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found<br />

regular administration of cider vinegar and<br />

McKenzie Lifestyle Village is in the final<br />

stages of completion. There are still great<br />

of affordable villas ready for immediate<br />

Our beautiful Leisure Centre was opened<br />

last year and the pools, gymnasium and<br />

library and lounge area are in use daily.<br />

Outside, the bowling green is very popular<br />

along with Petanque, Mini-golf and Table<br />

Bowls. By next summer the Croquet Lawn<br />

will also be available.<br />

The residents enjoy an enviable resort style<br />

lifestyle. It is also surprisingly affordable. A<br />

former Christchurch resident, Judith, says<br />

“We couldn’t have all this for what we are<br />

paying if we were still in Christchurch.”<br />

honey at the onset of complaints such as the<br />

common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic attacks,<br />

hay fever, and childhood diseases such as<br />

chicken pox and measles, was accompanied<br />

by an improvement in the condition with<br />

symptoms either disappearing, or the<br />

conditions were extremely mild and soon<br />

over.<br />

Apple cider vinegar contains all the<br />

goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />

readily accepted by the body. Scientists<br />

have found over 90 different substances<br />

in ACV, among them <strong>20</strong> important trace<br />

elements, minerals, essential enzymes, a<br />

number of different acids including malic<br />

acid, amino acids and roughage in the form<br />

of potash and pectin. A scientific study at<br />

the Shizuka University in Japan has proven<br />

ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It<br />

Another resident, David, says “my wife and<br />

I have never been so well off as we are now<br />

we moved to McKenzie Lifestyle Village.”<br />

There are fuller testimonials on the village<br />

Geraldine is a great little town with a very<br />

pleasant microclimate. There is plenty<br />

to do in and around the town with art<br />

galleries, theatre and cinema, interesting<br />

shops and boutiques, two museums and a<br />

wide range of good places to eat. For the<br />

more adventurous there are river and forest<br />

walks nearby, opportunities for biking and<br />

a choice of two local golf clubs.<br />

factor in ageing.) and also the ACV can<br />

break down cholesterol formations in the<br />

blood vessels.<br />

ACV and H is a powerful tonic that<br />

also promotes digestion, assimilation of<br />

nutrients and elimination of waste, and<br />

helps neutralize any toxic substances that<br />

enter the body.<br />

It is important to note not all cider<br />

vinegar is made in the traditional way and<br />

results are likely to prove disappointing<br />

with these other vinegars.<br />

improvements in pain, joint stiffness & physical function<br />

scores in osteoarthritis patients in only 7 days.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Choosing the right heat<br />

pump for your home<br />

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />

most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />

if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />

convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />

to press a button. But how do you decide<br />

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat<br />

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort<br />

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore<br />

important to get professional advice from heat<br />

pump experts.<br />

The range varies from wall mounted high<br />

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />

central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />

very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />

to a constant temperature throughout.<br />

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />

is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />

taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />

building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />

available with different heating outputs so it<br />

is important to select the correct size for your<br />

requirements that will handle the job but not<br />

be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />

Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />

is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />

installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />

unit however this is not necessarily always<br />

the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />

unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />

in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />

outside their bedroom window.<br />

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />

have come and gone over the years but there<br />

are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />

reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />

systems and price, so it depends on your<br />

application as to which will be most suitable.<br />

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />

all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />

after sales service.<br />

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />

accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />

correct installation of your heat pump, but<br />

also validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />

Other things to consider when choosing a<br />

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />

capabilities.<br />

Heating is a major investment in your home<br />

and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />

installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />

to which system will suit your application<br />

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />

The facts about<br />

home ventilation<br />

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure<br />

Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />

all buildings, including residential, need to<br />

be suitably ventilated, either with opening<br />

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1<br />

states: “The objective of this provision is<br />

to safeguard people from illness or loss of<br />

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are<br />

many benefits to forced, or mechanical,<br />

ventilation over opening windows, including<br />

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises<br />

and reduction of condensation.<br />

Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from<br />

outside via the roof space and force the stale air<br />

out through gaps around windows and doors.<br />

The incoming air from these<br />

systems has to be heated or<br />

cooled to keep the house warm<br />

in winter or cool in summer.<br />

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is<br />

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It<br />

extracts air from the house and<br />

at the same time brings in fresh<br />

air. These two streams of air<br />

pass through a heat exchanger,<br />

which warms incoming air in<br />

winter and cools in summer if<br />

air conditioning is being used.<br />

This means that up to 80% of<br />

the energy which would be<br />

wasted using a traditional positive pressure<br />

system is recovered, resulting in significant<br />

energy savings and therefore lower heating or<br />

cooling costs.<br />

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation<br />

systems have been considerably more<br />

expensive than traditional positive pressure<br />

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique<br />

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390<br />

balanced pressure system can be installed for<br />

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure<br />

system.<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 />

Jo Hayes<br />

National List MP based in<br />

Christchurch East<br />

Bill English<br />

Right Honourable Prime<br />

Minister of New Zealand<br />

www.national.org.nz<br />

Authorised by Jo Hayes, National MP,<br />

Unit 6/975 Ferry Road, Ferrymead


www.national.org.nz<br />

All in a day’s work<br />

It’s the things we do every day that total the sum of our lives,<br />

so I was thinking recently, how do we spend our time as MPs<br />

to really make a difference?<br />

While we sit in Parliament and make and debate laws – and<br />

that’s important - it’s often the little things we do that really<br />

matter in people’s lives.<br />

That’s what I’m proud of when I think about my role as a list<br />

MP in Christchurch East. My staff and I always have the door<br />

open to chat and offer a helping hand. Here are a just a few<br />

things that we’ve been up to over the past few years:<br />

Immigration<br />

Immigration is a tough and emotive issue, especially for those trying to stay in<br />

New Zealand. These decisions often involve keeping families together, keeping<br />

businesses running and sticky situations all around.<br />

We’ve had plenty of immigration cases come through my office and have always<br />

done our best to support Christchurch East residents and businesses for the best<br />

outcomes. Although we can’t comment on specific cases, we’ve had very positive<br />

outcomes in the majority of them, including emergency visas.<br />

Getting the right mix<br />

At the same time, the Government regularly reviews immigration settings to make<br />

sure that we’re getting the right mix of skills and the right quantity of people. We<br />

want to make sure that Kiwi businesses have room to grow but that the interests<br />

of everyday Kiwis are put first too.<br />

The Government recently raised the first remuneration threshold to $48,859<br />

a year: applicants who earn below that threshold will have no pathway to<br />

residence. The second threshold will be set at $73,299 and applicants will<br />

automatically be considered as high-skilled.<br />

We’re also proposing changes to work visas to limit the duration and settlement<br />

expectations of lower paid visa holders. That said, we’re also proposing a new<br />

pathway to residence for 4000 long-term temporary migrant workers in the<br />

South Island – many of whom have played a key role in the Canterbury rebuild.<br />

Something smells here...<br />

Waimairi Beach residents got whiff of a Christchurch City Council (CCC) plan to<br />

move the dump site closer to their homes. They were understandably unhappy<br />

and approached my office to see if we could help them out of the quagmire.<br />

I looked over the plan and met with Minister Brownlee, and we asked that the<br />

plan be overturned. It was, and residents and CCC agreed on an alternative site<br />

where the offending odours wouldn’t intrude. Another win for locals!<br />

Open those roads!<br />

Some of you may remember last Christmas when Pages Road<br />

was closed Eastbound for months on end, and scheduled to<br />

open again on Christmas Eve.<br />

That wasn’t soon enough for New Brighton businesses in the<br />

Christmas shopping season, especially after two hard trading<br />

years with road closures. We had a chat with CCC and SCIRT,<br />

which came to the party and worked around the clock to get<br />

the road open two-weeks before Christmas Day.<br />

My first Bill – a win<br />

for youth!<br />

It was a huge honour to have my first<br />

Bill – to amend the Marriage Act –<br />

read in Parliament earlier this month.<br />

The Marriage (Court Consent to<br />

Marriage of Minors) Amendment<br />

Bill seeks to protect 16 and 17-yearold<br />

minors from forced or arranged<br />

marriages by necessitating court<br />

consent to the marriage.<br />

Currently, 16 and 17-year-olds who wish<br />

to marry need only parental consent.<br />

This amendment will ensure that all<br />

minors over the age of 16 who wish to marry do so with the acceptance of the<br />

court and with equal consent from both parties.<br />

It’s so important that we protect our young people’s rights and freedom to make<br />

their own life decisions and not to be forced into an unwanted union.<br />

The Bill will now head to Select Committee where it will be open to discussion<br />

and public submissions.<br />

In a snapshot:<br />

Emergency housing support<br />

We were contacted about an elderly woman in urgent need of<br />

re-housing. We successfully found her a home and helped source<br />

furniture as well.<br />

School bullying<br />

Teachers and parents at a local Christchurch East school<br />

approached us about ongoing bullying problems. I met with the<br />

principal and we’re monitoring the issue together.<br />

Burwood-<strong>Pegasus</strong> Community Watch<br />

I head out on watch duty on a Friday night whenever I can with<br />

one of the committed Watch members.<br />

Government support<br />

for the East<br />

Sometimes it’s not until we look back that we realise how<br />

far we’ve come with the rebuild in Christchurch East. Beyond<br />

the residential, we can all pat ourselves on the back for the<br />

following:<br />

Education<br />

The Government has invested in three new<br />

primary schools: $10.2m for Marshlands;<br />

$14.5m for Waitakiri and $13.6 for Rawhiti.<br />

Of course, we’ve also got the fabulous new<br />

Haeta at $298m.<br />

But wait, there’s more: a further $650m is<br />

tagged for the upcoming relocation and<br />

rebuild of Avonside Girls and Shirley Boys at<br />

QE2 park; the rebuild of a Catholic primary<br />

school in Aranui, and Banks Ave in Shirley.<br />

Hospitals<br />

The new Burwood Hospital, at $215m, is truly a state-of-the-art facility and a<br />

fantastic asset for the East.<br />

Social housing<br />

The Government has poured a massive<br />

investment into social housing from Aranui<br />

to Shirley, and continues to actively build<br />

as part of its social housing programme.<br />

These new, warm and healthy homes<br />

are benefiting plenty of Christchurch<br />

East families and sprucing up the<br />

neighbourhood!<br />

The Force is with you, Christchurch East<br />

The National-led Government is investing $503 million to provide new staff and<br />

police services across New Zealand. That means a total of 1125 new police staff –<br />

including 880 frontline officers – over the next four years. The Canterbury Police<br />

District, including Christchurch East, will get an additional 10 boys (and girls!) in<br />

blue over the next year to focus on child protection, adult sexual assault and<br />

serious crime in our community. And that’s just the beginning.<br />

The additional staff will boost police force capacity and help achieve better<br />

outcomes for all. The first recruits will be on the beat in July.<br />

New Brighton redevelopment<br />

It may seem like there’s not a lot happening on the ground in New Brighton yet,<br />

but there’s plenty of work going on<br />

behind the scenes.<br />

I have frequently voiced my support<br />

for the new hot water salt pools<br />

and redevelopment, and I’m<br />

actively working with the Business<br />

Association of New Brighton to<br />

identify potential investors in the<br />

area’s future. New Brighton has such a vibrant and steadfast community and it’s<br />

going to take all of us – Government, CCC and community - to create the future<br />

that we want for the area. As a side-note, it was an absolute pleasure to host<br />

New Brighton artists at Parliament last year!<br />

Business<br />

Let’s not forget that the Government also funded some Christchurch East<br />

businesses immediately after the earthquakes so that they could retain staff and<br />

run their businesses. The business owners I know are hugely appreciative of the<br />

investment, which has allowed them to continue thriving and operating out of the<br />

electorate.<br />

Budget a<br />

big win for<br />

Christchurch<br />

East families<br />

The Government’s budget on 25 May is great news for Christchurch East<br />

families. Here are a few highlights in case you missed it:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

A $2 billion a year Family Incomes Package that will help hard working<br />

New Zealanders get ahead. The package will lift the incomes of 1.3 million<br />

families by an average of $26 a week.<br />

$4 billion to help build the public infrastructure we need as a growing<br />

economy, as well as additional funding to strengthen the Business<br />

Growth Agenda to help drive further economic growth, create jobs, and<br />

lift wages.<br />

$7 billion new investment in public services like health, education, and<br />

law and order over the next four years, including $321 million in social<br />

investment initiatives to help the most at-risk New Zealanders become<br />

more independent.<br />

This is an exciting budget that puts more money into the back pockets of<br />

those who need it most - low and middle-income earners with young families<br />

and higher housing costs.<br />

By getting the economy growing again and putting the Government’s books<br />

back in order we’ve given ourselves choices that few other countries have. We<br />

can fund new initiatives that will make a difference to people’s lives. Some of<br />

those include:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Joanne Hayes and Finance Minister Steven Joyce.<br />

An additional $224 million over four years for mental health services.<br />

$37 million to improve the safety of family violence victims and stop family<br />

violence escalating.<br />

$185 million to further expand social housing services.<br />

$424 million for the new Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki.<br />
