Red light runners risk pupil safety
• By Julia Evans
RED LIGHT runners are putting
primary school pupils at risk.
Shirley Primary School, the city
council and the police are acting
quickly after fears for pupils
safety when crossing Shirley Rd.
There is a signalised pedestrian
crossing outside the school but
red light runners have caused
serious concern.
Deputy principal Sandra
Jamieson said it’s only a matter
of time before a pupil is hurt.
“It’s not a matter of if someone
gets injured. It’s when,” she said.
An urgent meeting was held
between school staff, city council
parking enforcement staff and
traffic engineer Penny Gray,
members and staff from the
Papanui-Innes Community
Board, the police and parents
last Wednesday to discuss ways
to improve safety.
Community board chairwoman
Ali Jones said off the back
of the meeting, the group came
away with seven action points.
“The school is not that obvious,
it actually looks like a big
office block . . . if drivers
are aware there are
children in the area they
will slow down,” Ms
Jones said.
Plans likely to be
implemented include
a sign that warns of
children in the area, increased
police presence,
increased city council
enforcement and pupils carrying
flags as they cross the road.
Sandra
Jamieson
Mrs Jamieson said they were
also looking at having a longer
waiting time between the
light changing red and the
crossing turning green.
“It will be a combined
effort. The sign, police
enforcing, city council enforcing
and also someone
suggested the children
holding flags as they cross
the road like they already
do at
St Albans Primary,” Ms Jones
said.
A full safety audit by the city
council, of traffic from Hills Rd
to The Palms Shopping Centre
has also begun. Although ideas
such as a flashing 40km/h signs
outside the school were also
proposed but is unlikely to go
ahead.
But due to traffic congestion
along Shirley Rd after school,
Mrs Jamieson said it wasn’t so
much an issue of speed as red
light running.
Ms Jones said changes would
be in place within four weeks.
Back to the
future for
new school
Haeata Community
College might be only
six-months-old but
it is relying on an old
favourite to motivate
students. Instead of a
buzzer or bell to start
classes, Bob Marley
music plays instead.

HOW TIMES have changed.
Reporter Sarla Donovan reports
today (pages 6-7) on Haeata
Community College six months
after it opened. The school, an
amalgamation of Aranui High
and Aranui, Avondale and
Wainoni primary schools – is full
of innovation and newness.
I remember Aranui High during
my days there as being innovative.
Great teachers who thought outside
of the square and encouraged us to
do the same.
They also encouraged us to
play basketball well, which was a
bonus to the hard graft of getting
through English, history, and
other classes.
Back then we had a buzzer that
alerted us it was time to put the
basketball away and go to class.
The buzzer has now gone and Bob
Marley music plays instead.
My old school mates would
have been very happy with that.

Brighton fridge offers free food
• By Sarla Donovan
FREE FOOD is about to be
given away in New Brighton.
Waimairi Beach’s Trudy
Burrows is behind the project,
which opens on June 27 and
was inspired after she saw
a newspaper article about a
successful trial run in central
Auckland last year.
The free food fridge will offer
food donated by members of the
public, cafes and supermarkets.
It will all be free to those who
need it.
“I just felt it’s the right thing
to do. There’s so much hunger in
the world, it’s hard to think how
one can make a difference, so
you end up doing nothing, and
that’s what I often do. But this
seemed easy. I started step-bystep
and the doors just opened.
The community’s been right
behind it, everyone’s been so
supportive.”
Mrs Burrows said the city
council liked the idea and were
interested in starting one in the
city, but she was determined
that New Brighton was the right
community to do it in.
“For me, it had to be Brighton
first; I guess because I live here,
my passion is here.”
FOOD: Trudy Burrows in the shed which will house a free food
fridge and pantry outside St Faith’s Church, New Brighton,
from June 27.
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS
The fridge, in the grounds of
St Faith’s Church on Hawke St
will be open 12 hours a day.
People can donate canned or
unopened dry goods or surplus
fresh fruits and vegetables from
their gardens. Local cafes and
supermarkets are encouraged
to bring down excess food at
the end of the day. “Muffins,
quiches, sandwiches things like
that.”
It’s housed in a new cedar-clad
shed that’s just been assembled
by her husband and son who
is a builder. The fridge will be
donated by Skope.
Mrs Burrows is still
fundraising to pay for the cost of
the shed, but said businesses had
donated small things which had
really helped, like bricks, pens
and paper bags.
“Just things you don’t think of
but they all add up.”
She has applied to the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
for a grant and is also on the
hunt for volunteers to help with
checking stock.
Everyone is welcome to take
what they need from the fridge –
no questions asked.
“Take what you need. Leave
what you don’t.”
•You can support the food
fridge at the open day on
Tuesday, June 27, 1pm, at
St Faith’s Church, cnr Shaw
Ave and Hawke St, New
Brighton.
In Brief
RICCARTON MARKET
WON’T CLOSE
An article on plans for New
Brighton’s future in the Pegasus
Post on May 30 said the Riccarton
market was closing. This was
incorrect. The Riccarton Rotary
Club, which has run the market for
29 years, said it holds a secure lease
over the property at Riccarton
Park Raceway which extends well
into the 2020s and the market will
continue to operate “for years to
come.” We apologise for the error.
MONEY FOR 360 TRAIL
The mayor has recommended
the city council bring forward
$416,160 in capital expenditure to
enable the South Brighton estuary
edge section of the 360 Trail
walking track to be completed.
The trail is about 135km long and
links up many existing tracks and
urban routes. The expenditure is
expected to be met from other projects
and will not impact on rates.
FOOTPATH REPAIRS
Work has begun to reseal one
side of the footpath on Pages Rd
between Anzac Dr and the Pages
Rd bridge. The footpath on the
other side will be patched up. A
permanent fix will be on the cards
when the bridge is rebuilt between
2021 and 2023.

Erosion fear for domain
• By Sarla Donovan
A PROPOSED 190m stopbank
adjacent to Bridge St will reduce
flood levels in South Brighton
but there are questions over
whether it will stop the swift
rate of erosion in South Brighton
Domain.
Adam Perry, who has lived in
the area for 43 years, has written
to the Coastal-Burwood Community
Board about the speed
of deterioration
along the estuary
edge of the
domain.
The earthquakes
caused
significant land
Adam Perry
drop, destroying
much of the existing
gabion basket protection.
Heavy rains in April have sped
up the process, Mr Perry says,
threatening to wash away new
planting.
“The school, campground
and more are at risk from the
next winter storm. Before all the
hours of community planting
gets washed away, can we please
have some action,” he told the
Pegasus Post.
Mr Perry’s concerns are
echoed by community board
member Tim Sintes.
“Water at high tide is getting
into soft sand and eating it
quickly. What I thought would
take six months has happened
in just one. If we don’t do something,
the rate of erosion is going
to keep speeding up.”
In some places, the estuary
edge had receded up to 12m, he
said.
Head of strategic policy at the
city council, Helen Beaumont,
said the repairs to the boardwalk
and jetty in South New Brighton
Park included erosion protection
for those facilities.
“A new, short length of stopbank
is (also) proposed adjacent
to Bridge St to fill a low point
in the existing topography.
The proposed stopbank will be
constructed in the vicinity of the
existing estuary edge footpath.
These works will not alleviate all
flood risk to South New Brighton
area, but it will reduce flood
levels.”
The proposed stopbank is currently
in the design and consenting
stage, she said.
“The city council plans to enact
the works within the next six
months, but this is dependent on
successful application of resource
consent.”
“The bund is approximately
190m long, with a maximum
height of approximately 850mm
(typically between 400mm and

700mm) and a crest width of approximately
1m.”
Mr Perry questioned where the
proposed new stopbank would
start and stop.
“There needs to be protection
all the way along to the jetty.
What’s the plan for the exposed
bit in between? It doesn’t sound
sufficient.”
Tim Sintes said gabion baskets
destroyed in the earthquakes
should be rebuilt.
“I want to see the protection
reinstated as it was. We know it
worked; why not fix it? There’s
examples of baskets that didn’t
slump and they are working
beautifully.”
In Brief
CLOCK REPAIRS
The New Brighton clock tower
will be fully repaired by summer,
with work expected to begin in
spring. A detailed engineering
evaluation has been completed
which notes the structural and
cosmetic repairs required, such
as rust staining, and a full scope
of repair and restoration work is
currently under way.
BOY RECEIVES TRIKE
A Parklands boy has received
funding from the Mazda
Foundation to purchase
a specialised trike. Mikey
Lavender, 11, who has down
syndrome, received $1399 in
funding for the trike, which will
enable him to build strength and
cognitive ability, and allow him
to go bike riding with his family
in nearby Bottle Lake Forest. The
Mazda Foundation is funded
through a contribution from the
sale of every new Mazda in New
Zealand.
DANCER GETS GRANT TO
GO TO NATIONAL SCHOOL
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board has given Parklands ballet
dancer Anna McKay, 12, $225

Your Local Views
Brighton’s green future
Treaty educator
and Green Party
candidate for
Christchurch
east, Cathy
Sweet, believes
New Brighton
has all the ingredients
to become a magnet for
ecotourism
The locals know about it and
that’s why we live here . . . the
huge expanses of recreation
reserves, river tracks and great
water sports, the estuary birdlife
and yachting, the beach life,
swimming and surfing.
Ecotourism is the perfect
drawcard to get local and international
visitors coming to our
village and spending at our vital
local businesses. These days most
travellers are looking for something
to do that will revitalise
their interest in life again, that
will show them different views,
culture and perspective, that will
excite or move them. Another
mall won’t give them that lifelong
memory.
East Christchurch can offer the
drawcard of family-friendly and
lower cost activities. Ecotourism
is about entertainment and
• By Sarla Donovan
YOGA, HOT hula, fitness
demonstrations and top-team
are some of the activities on offer
at the annual Aranui Health
Day.
Aranui
neighbourhood nurse
Hannah Laughton is
organising the event,
which she started
planning for in March.
She said she aims
to have a full range of
stalls and interactive
activities for both
parents and children.
“The last couple of years we’ve
focused on well-being, with
crafts like screen printing and
activities that don’t cost a lot
of natural resources to build,
and don’t involve fossil fuels
and pollution to maintain. This
includes the beautiful murals on
New Brighton shop walls and
Peter Donnelly’s internationally
known sand art.
And now the east has the big,
new opportunity we have been
waiting for: A river park from
city to beach. Without having to
leave town, locals and travellers
will be able to get into the great
outdoors to gain all the physical
and mental health benefits from
walking, cycling and boating
in amongst native forest and
birdlife. The east Christchurch
waterpark concept would be a
further stunning attraction.
Eco-design is the very latest
lantern-making. And this year,
we’re introducing reiki and hand
massage just to mix it up,” she
said.
About 35 stallholders are
expected at this year’s event and
each one will bring a
small gift to contribute to
the spot prizes awarded
during the day.
“The prizes are mixed
up and this allows their
organisations brand
to be out there in the
public in another way
and hopefully gain more
exposure/clients as a
result. So it is win-win,”
said Ms Laughton.
More than 500 people attended
last year’s event.
trend, so how do we make sure
there is enough ‘eco’ in our
ecotourism that designers and
mayors around the world are
talking about us? Here we go
. . . wind and solar powered
amenities. The latest composting
restroom facilities. Food containers
that are made from renewable
and compostable materials. Cycling
options everywhere. Green
cabs and buses. Organic snacks,
and other quality local food and
drink.
And, of course, local hapu
knowledge, both old and new,
incorporated every step of the
way as our country is in the very
fortunate position of having iwirun
corporations which ensure
that there is always regard for
future generations.
Look after yourself at the annual Aranui Health Day
Hannah
Laughton
ECOTOUR: Green Party candidate Cathy Sweet says
ecotourism is about entertainment and activities that don’t use
a lot of natural resources, like these murals in New Brighton
mall.

And, with the mix of
demonstrations, information
and interactive activities, there
will something for everyone, she
said.
“Even if they come for a
few minutes. The majority of
feedback has always been really
positive.”

Panels erected to

You said:
Linda Street – A
heinous, appalling, shaming
abomination. I actually prefer
the graffiti. If I wanted to put
flowers there today in memory
of the soldiers who died in the
Battle of Messines, I would have
to place them in front of that
plastic box. Horrible.
Laurence Fairley – I had
a meeting with David East, city
councillor, two years ago about
the disgraceful appearance of
this memorial. The discussion
was about techniques to
remove graffiti from sandstone
correctly. The discussion talked
about video surveillance and
ownership. Never in my wildest
dreams did the wall come up.
Talk about Berlin, Israel and the
Mexican wall. Now Brighton
has its own. The wall needs
to be removed immediately.
The memorial stands for far
more than this. This wall
sends the wrong message to
the community and serves as
a challenge to the protagonist
vandals who think smearing
this marker with their ‘sign’ is
okay. What was that chant back
in the 80s . . . Pull down that

Raising eyebrows with a new way
Reporter Sarla
Donovan visits Aranui’s
community school
six months after it
opened
HAEATA. IT means “dawn.”
The first appearance of light. New
beginnings.
The opening of Haeata Community
College six months ago
signposted a new era for schooling
in the east. It’s a poster child
for big-box classrooms, catering
for up to 200 kids in one space.
The year 1-13 school replaced
Aranui High, Aranui
Primary, Avondale Primary and
Wainoni School after earthquake-damaged
land and buildings
and falling rolls prompted
their closure.
Bordering Shortland St and
Breezes Rd, the size and newness
of the buildings is striking.
It looks like a large-scale primary
school, with its sun shades,
adventure playground and
brightly coloured exterior panels.
In the centre of the campus
is a massive building housing
the gymnasium, library, offices,
cafeteria, kitchens and studios for
music and drama.
A glass-fronted atrium is at its
heart, the school office tucked
along one wall, in keeping with
the open-plan vibe. It feels like a
cross between a hotel lobby and a
community hub.
Opposite the office, a cafeteria
displays the blackboard specials:
today it’s creamy vege soup,
nachos with melted cheese and
a salad with bacon, haloumi and
green beans. Mouse traps, wedges,
pies and fruit salads feature
in the cabinet. There’s only water
and plain milk in the fridge and
no processed food on offer.
Kids sit at cafeteria tables
wearing an assortment of clothing;
hoodies and sneakers are
popular. There is a uniform but
the rules seem pretty flexible.
Lavalava’s are everywhere the day
I visit, all the teachers are wearing
them and lots of students too.
BUSY: Haeata Community College principal Andy Kai Fong has responsibility for over 900
students from ages 5 to 18.
PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER
I find out later it’s because of Samoan
Language Week. There are
128 Samoans students at Haeata,
making up the majority of its
Pacific Island population.
Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds
blasts out of the sound system at
9am. Children dash through the
atrium, thread around cafeteria
tables and tumble out the big
glass doors, on their way to class.
Principal Andy Kai Fong is
determined to meet the 21stcentury
head on and he’s at the
helm of a school that looks and
functions differently to a traditional
model.
Primary, intermediate and
secondary-aged children sharing
the same campus. Teachers
operating in shared, open plan
spaces rather than individual
classrooms. A strong emphasis
on self-management and studentdirected
learning. Laptops and
phones instead of pens. Ninety
minute periods.
There’s a lot that’s new about
Haeata, and Mr Kai Fong freely
admits their approach has raised
a few eyebrows and may have
lost them some students in the
months since opening.
He’s okay with that, and accepts
there’s a possibility the roll
could go down next year.
They’re trying to take a more
holistic approach to learning, he
says, and it will take time to educate
the community about what
the school is trying to achieve.
In spite of that, the roll of 950
is healthy. They opened with
50 per cent more students than
anticipated and are catering for
kids who have come from 122
different schools.
That figure reflects the transience
in the area, as well as the
school’s distinct character, which
he says has attracted families
from outside the local catchment.
Their philosophy has something
in common with Ao Tawhiti Unlimited
Discovery, which also uses
a model of personalised, studentdriven
learning, though he points
out most students at that school
attend by choice, not because it’s
their local provider.
Ultimately, the aspiration is to
become a viable alternative for
everyone in the catchment. Historically,
only 40 per cent of local
kids in the Aranui/Wainoni area
attended their local school.
“We’re trying to bring people
home and offer education that’s
purposeful, but it’s challenging
for our community to get
their heads around. We have
copped criticism for the level
of self-management (we expect
from students). For seniors particularly,
it takes time to embed
– we’ve flipped expectations on
their head. Whatever your plan,
there’s challenges.”
Interestingly, Mr Kai Fong
didn’t have any input into the
buildings, but says it’s an amazing
place to work and the big-box
style has never impacted strongly
on what they want to do for
learning.
“We utilise the buildings and
furniture for what we need. We
can have up to 200 students or
just two in these flexible spaces.”

LEARNING: Pupils focused at Haeata Community College.
A whirlwind tour through the
school’s three open-plan learning
spaces throws up a busy and noisy
primary school, where separate
clusters of children are working
with teachers. No dividers
punctuate the room, apart from a
half-wall which separates a group
of high-needs pupils.
A soft hush descends when we
enter the senior school. Students
are scattered around the central
learning area, at tables or on
the floor, intent on computers
or phones. Jack’s on his laptop,
writing a story for an animated
computer game. The boy next
to him is surfing Youtube; his
self-directed learning has taken a
detour. Phoenix is doing algebra
– she’s planning to join the navy.
While there’s not many posters
or student work on display, that’s
maybe a reflection of how new
this all is. In a small classroom
off the main area, the familiar
sight of a maths class in progress:
teacher, whiteboard and four
students. Small group teaching
seems to be the thing here.
Mr Kai Fong says as technology
evolves, schools need to stay
relevant and engaging to young
people. It’s a balancing act.
As I go to leave, a little group of
kids comes trotting past behind
their teacher who’s carrying a
yellow cricket bat, wickets and a
ball. They’re heading for the gym.
She looks young, energetic, and
committed.
Perhaps it’s that, more than
buildings or philosophy, which
will determine whether Haeata
becomes the school of choice for
its community.

Loving home guaranteed

The Nurse Maude Hospice Shops are a

the first hospice shop opened in Merivale
nine years ago.
Not quite so well-known, however, is
Maudes on Trade Me.
While the Hospice Shops sell clothing
Maudes on Trade Me sells everything from
antiques to sporting and household items.
“If it’s still in good condition but you
no longer want it, have room for it or will
never use it again you can raise money for
the Nurse Maude Hospice by donating it
to us,” says Sue Bramwell, general manager
marketing at Nurse Maude.
While smaller pieces can be left for Maudes
on Trade Me at any of the Nurse Maude

larger or bulk items to be picked up.
“Just give us a call on 375 4643 or email
us at trademe.volunteers@nursemaude.org.
nz first if you have large items and we can let
you know where in Merivale to drop them
off or whether we’re able to pick them up”
says Bramwell.
“Unfortunately we can’t take beds,

almost everything else in good condition.”
“Maudes on Trade Me helps make it

Supermarket and council
create new playground
A collaboration between a
local Wainoni business and
the city council has seen
an old playground opened
with a new lease of life.
Shortland playground in
Wainoni faced an uncertain
future when the new Wainoni
Pak’n Save was rebuilt
on its door step.
But a joint effort from the
city council and Pak’n Save
saw a revamped playground
opened to the public with
a public planting day at the
weekend.
City council
head of parks
Andrew
Rutledge (left)
said Pak’n
Save had
approached
the city council in April last
year with an idea to keep
the playground open.
Improvements included
removing the existing
boundary fence with Pak’n
Save, removing plants
that were blocking sight
lines, tidying up existing
garden beds and planting
around 300 new plants, a
play surface and new paved
surfaces.
PLAYTIME: Lucas Taylor, 3, has some rides at the
revamped Shortland playground.
“It’s great to see the community
and local businesses
getting involved with the
city council in the provision
of parks and playgrounds,”
PEGASUS POST
said Mr Rutledge.
“The $50,000 contribution
from Pak’n Save has
kept the playground open
for community use. Their
funding has allowed for the
relocation of some equipment
and the removal of
some plants to improve
sightlines into the park
which makes the park safer
for the community. They
have designed their staffrooms
so they look out over
the park which also assists
with passive surveillance of
the space.”

Greetings to our
Community.
As this page
shows, the life
of a secondary
school is busy and
varied. Linwood
College nurtures personal excellence by
providing diverse opportunities to meet
individual needs, opportunities that support
a personalised learning pathway.
This pathway is now opening out to our
partner schools. Linwood College is
running a cycle of eight-week enrichment
programmes for Year 6-8 learners in the
May Music Month
schools in our communities, Linwood-
Woolston and the Bays. The programme is
very well regarded by the young learners
themselves and their schools. Debating was
the first topic which culminated in a lively
debate held at Sumner School. The present
programme is Mathematics and is proving
equally valued.
Many people are keen to learn more
about Linwood College. To this end, I am
holding regular evening appointments for
families keen to know more and to meet me
personally. Please phone the school office,
phone 9820100, to book in a time.
Nga mihi nui to our community as the
positive activity of the year continues. I am
always keen to meet people if any member
of the community wishes to talk to me about
anything. My door is open.

Samoan Speech Competition Success
To start winter off with a bang on 1st June,
students from Linwood College pitted
themselves against other talented Samoan
speakers from Christchurch schools, as part
of the annual Samoan Speech Competition.
Held at Hillmorton High School, the event
was opened by Leumu Gali, St Thomas of
Canterbury College's Samoan Language
teacher. This year’s topic was: 'Maau i ofaga,
Maua'a lou faasinomaga' ('Keep your identity
alive to thrive').
With more than 100 students competing,
Linwood College's Gloria Sua won first place
in the Year 11 section with Tala Leupolu
(Year 12) achieving third place. Two Year 13s
achieved placings wtih Vai Mariner getting
second place and Janet Tuiloma, third.
It was Janice Tuiloma’s first competition.
She and her twin Janet signed up so that
they could make their families proud.
Another participant, Havana described how
she and others shook with nerves as they
prepared to present their speeches.

August 2017 here in Christchurch.
Samoan Language Week Celebrated
To celebrate Samoan Language
Week, in the first week of June
students at Linwood College
arranged a number of activities,
including a lunch for staff.
Students also performed a
number of dances, engaging staff
in a traditional dance.
Chess Tournament Winners
A crowd of Eastgate Library visitors
settled in for double treat – tasty delicacies
provided by the library staff accompanied
by a peppering of performances by
Linwood College students as part of the
recent ‘May Music Month’.
A funky, hip-hop number by Filipino
students and a Bollywood dance followed
the Year 7 students’ drama which kicked off
the evening. The school band performed
many melodious pieces.
Surrounded by vibrant colours and sound,
the audience clapped along to the smooth
reggae tones of Tyrone TePoono as he
crooned Six60’s Don’t Forget Your Roots.
Adonai Schwenke’s thunderous tones
reverberated Tennesse Whiskey’s lyrics
throughout Eastgate to a cheering crowd.
With a dabble of jazz, a smoky solo by Piper
Stewart, a splash of drumming by Luke
Barry, one Samoan dance later - onlookers
were bursting full from the smorgasbord of
the evening’s cultural flavours.
Organisers stated that the event had been
inspired by Linwood College's ‘Festival of
Nations’ held back in March and hope that
this enchanting evening may become an
annual event to showcase local talent.
Students from Year 7 and 8 performing at Eastgate
Library during May Music Month
As the nine o’clock bell tolled, the Linwood
College hall was abuzz with the humming
of table-top timers as students of all ages
from across Christchurch competed. This
gathering was for the annual Chess Power
Interschools Tournament, held on the 22
May.
Seven Linwood College students vied
against students from nine local schools,
achieving twenty-three wins in total. As a
result Linwood College secured first place
in the tournament.
Senior students Marvin Brimon, Joshua
Galang and Ly Jefferson Brimon as well as
Ivo Craeig Baguingey (Year 8) achieved the
four top placings throughout the day.
Marvin Brimon came out on top, winning
six matches and has been invited to
compete in the National Championship
to be held in Hamilton in October.
Congratulations to you all!

Ensuring a safe work place
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or
on to the sports field?
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,
hypothermia and poisonings.
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far
behind those in the workplace.
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes
such as motor vehicle accidents.
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where
it is located.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Headaches,
facial and jaw pain
Physical Sense Gym & Physio, located in Colombo Street Sydenham,
focuses both on helping people stay physically fit and healthy, and
helping people to overcome various health problems.
At the adjoining physio
clinic, the four qualified
physiotherapists specialise
in dealing with chronic pain,
such as headaches, earache, toothache,
and facial and jaw pain.
As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk
explains, when our muscles tighten
this can refer pain to many of the areas
around the face and head. Dehydration
can be the catalyst for tightening the neck
muscle (SCM), which causes pain in the
ear, forehead and around the eye and jaw
joint areas. Tightening of the temporalis
muscle can refer pain to the teeth, which
can be confusing when the person
visits the dentist to have it checked and
the dentist can’t find a reason for the
recurring pain.
Teeth grinding at night and teeth
clenching during the day, are also a major
cause of muscle tightening.
Physiotherapy treatment for these
problems, is based on deactivating
the ‘trigger points’ through handson
massage therapy, to relax the
muscles, which is the least invasive
and a very effective form of treatment.
Dry needling is another technique used
for muscle relaxation, but is only used with
the client’s consent, Ietje says.
“We release the muscles to give
immediate relief and at the same time
work on the cause. For example, we have
a feedback headband that is worn at night
to help people to learn not to clench their
teeth while they’re asleep. We also work
on the client’s cervical or neck part of the
spine, where overuse can cause muscles
to tighten, creating pain.”
Teaching self-management of stress
is an important aspect of the clinic’s
treatment, as well as teaching breathing
techniques, which go hand in hand with
managing stress.
The gym is open to the public for
regular specialised classes for people with
ailments such as diabetes, osteoporosis,
vascular problems, and those who face
difficulties following a stroke.
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
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

as well as being available on Saturdays,
allowing us to work around even the busiest

we provide or the manner in which strive to
achieve both of those goals.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Natural product
improves joint health
For many of us, as we grow older our
joints start to become stiff, sore and swollen,
reducing mobility and quality of life.
Most of these joint problems are caused
by a lack of cartilage or damage to the
cartilage, which is the soft, spongy material
between the moving bones. The body
continually produces cartilage, but factors
like digestive and health issues, and not
enough of the right nutrients in the diet,
slow its production. If the cartilage wears
away more quickly than it is replaced,
the bone ends can start rubbing together,
causing reduced joint movement, pain,
swelling and inflammation of the joint.
Generally, the joints with the most use or
stress show problems first, but eventually
other joints may show problems too.
Luckily, certain nutrients are known to
support and stimulate cartilage production.
Pure Vitality is a small West Coast
company, where they are committed to
producing effective, natural, life-changing
health supplements. While most joint care
products on the market are very similar,
Pure Vitality wants their products to be
the most effective. Their new Joint Vitality
product contains scientifically researched,
high-potency natural ingredients to
provide a multipronged approach to joint
health.
As well as a full therapeutic dose of
the more common glucosamine and
chondroitin, Joint Vitality contains a
concentrated deer antler velvet extract to
help stimulate healing. Another unique
ingredient is joint fluid or mega-potent
hyaluronic acid. This has been shown in
clinical trials to be more effective than
glucosamine and chondroitin.
Joint Vitality also contains enhanced
absorption turmeric extract, as well as
the highest- potency extract of boswellia
available to reduce inflammation, swelling
and pain, and speed joint recovery.
The formula also provides antioxidants
from grape seed extract to support cellular
joint health, and vitamin D3, zinc, boron,
manganese, copper and selenium, all
critical to optimum joint health.
This comprehensive formula is designed
to provide fast, lasting results. It is
recommended to take three capsules daily
with food for the first box or two to obtain
the maximum benefits. One box of 60
capsules is $49.90.

The importance of good blood pressure!
According to a country Doctor “D.C.
Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider
vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an
important part of a long healthy life. Dr.
Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly
consumed cider vinegar and honey had
excellent health with many putting in a
vigorous day’s work on the farm even when
well into their eighties.
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar
and honey on arthritis can be remarkable
with many patients reporting almost total
relief after taking a course of the cider
vinegar and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar
counteracted calcium deposits and helped
the body control calcium use.
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found

ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It

also promotes digestion, assimilation of

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the right heat
pump for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,
most homes include at least one heat pump,
if not a whole heating solution. They can
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more
convenient than a log burner as you just need
to press a button. But how do you decide
what is best? Choosing the right sized heat
pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort
levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore
important to get professional advice from heat
pump experts.
The range varies from wall mounted high
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted
central heating systems allowing you to have a
very discreet way of heating your whole home
to a constant temperature throughout.
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that
is suitable for the size of the space you wish
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area
taken into consideration but also, insulation,
building orientation, windows and ceiling
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps
available with different heating outputs so it
is important to select the correct size for your
requirements that will handle the job but not
be unnecessarily overpowered.
Secondly, the location of your heat pump
is also extremely important. The cheapest
installation is a back to back where the outdoor
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor
unit however this is not necessarily always
the best option. It is vital that the indoor
unit is positioned in a place that will not be
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly
in their outdoor entertaining area or right
outside their bedroom window.
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands
have come and gone over the years but there
are a number of manufacturers who provide
reputable and reliable products. All brands
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of
systems and price, so it depends on your
application as to which will be most suitable.
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are
all reliable brands backed up by good technical
after sales service.
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an
accredited installer. This will not only ensure
correct installation of your heat pump, but
also validate the manufacturers warranty.
Other things to consider when choosing a
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi
capabilities.
Heating is a major investment in your home
and it is vital to get the right advice.
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,
installation and servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as
to which system will suit your application
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no
obligation quote and will come to your home
to see what is required. Visit our website at

Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need to
be suitably ventilated, either with opening
windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1
states: “The objective of this provision is
to safeguard people from illness or loss of
amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are
many benefits to forced, or mechanical,
ventilation over opening windows, including
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises
and reduction of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from
outside via the roof space and force the stale air
out through gaps around windows and doors.
The incoming air from these
systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm
in winter or cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It
extracts air from the house and
at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air
pass through a heat exchanger,
which warms incoming air in
winter and cools in summer if
air conditioning is being used.
This means that up to 80% of
the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating or
cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation
systems have been considerably more
expensive than traditional positive pressure
systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390
balanced pressure system can be installed for
a similar price as a traditional positive pressure
system.

I’m Jo Hayes, National’s list MP based in Christchurch East.
I love being a part of this wonderful, tight-knit Christchurch East community. There’s so
much going on that I just want to share a few highlights with you of what our community
and Government are working on achieving together. Nga mihi mahana.
Jo Hayes
National List MP based in
Christchurch East
Bill English
Right Honourable Prime
Minister of New Zealand
www.national.org.nz
Authorised by Jo Hayes, National MP,
Unit 6/975 Ferry Road, Ferrymead
www.national.org.nz
All in a day’s work
It’s the things we do every day that total the sum of our lives,
so I was thinking recently, how do we spend our time as MPs
to really make a difference?
While we sit in Parliament and make and debate laws – and
that’s important - it’s often the little things we do that really
matter in people’s lives.
That’s what I’m proud of when I think about my role as a list
MP in Christchurch East. My staff and I always have the door
open to chat and offer a helping hand. Here are a just a few
things that we’ve been up to over the past few years:
Immigration
Immigration is a tough and emotive issue, especially for those trying to stay in
New Zealand. These decisions often involve keeping families together, keeping
businesses running and sticky situations all around.
We’ve had plenty of immigration cases come through my office and have always
done our best to support Christchurch East residents and businesses for the best
outcomes. Although we can’t comment on specific cases, we’ve had very positive
outcomes in the majority of them, including emergency visas.
Getting the right mix
At the same time, the Government regularly reviews immigration settings to make
sure that we’re getting the right mix of skills and the right quantity of people. We
want to make sure that Kiwi businesses have room to grow but that the interests
of everyday Kiwis are put first too.
The Government recently raised the first remuneration threshold to $48,859
a year: applicants who earn below that threshold will have no pathway to
residence. The second threshold will be set at $73,299 and applicants will
automatically be considered as high-skilled.
We’re also proposing changes to work visas to limit the duration and settlement
expectations of lower paid visa holders. That said, we’re also proposing a new
pathway to residence for 4000 long-term temporary migrant workers in the
South Island – many of whom have played a key role in the Canterbury rebuild.
Something smells here...
Waimairi Beach residents got whiff of a Christchurch City Council (CCC) plan to
move the dump site closer to their homes. They were understandably unhappy
and approached my office to see if we could help them out of the quagmire.
I looked over the plan and met with Minister Brownlee, and we asked that the
plan be overturned. It was, and residents and CCC agreed on an alternative site
where the offending odours wouldn’t intrude. Another win for locals!
Open those roads!
Some of you may remember last Christmas when Pages Road
was closed Eastbound for months on end, and scheduled to
open again on Christmas Eve.
That wasn’t soon enough for New Brighton businesses in the
Christmas shopping season, especially after two hard trading
years with road closures. We had a chat with CCC and SCIRT,
which came to the party and worked around the clock to get
the road open two-weeks before Christmas Day.
My first Bill – a win
for youth!
It was a huge honour to have my first
Bill – to amend the Marriage Act –
read in Parliament earlier this month.
The Marriage (Court Consent to
Marriage of Minors) Amendment
Bill seeks to protect 16 and 17-yearold
minors from forced or arranged
marriages by necessitating court
consent to the marriage.
Currently, 16 and 17-year-olds who wish
to marry need only parental consent.
This amendment will ensure that all
minors over the age of 16 who wish to marry do so with the acceptance of the
court and with equal consent from both parties.
It’s so important that we protect our young people’s rights and freedom to make
their own life decisions and not to be forced into an unwanted union.
The Bill will now head to Select Committee where it will be open to discussion
and public submissions.
In a snapshot:
Emergency housing support
We were contacted about an elderly woman in urgent need of
re-housing. We successfully found her a home and helped source
furniture as well.
School bullying
Teachers and parents at a local Christchurch East school
approached us about ongoing bullying problems. I met with the
principal and we’re monitoring the issue together.
Burwood-Pegasus Community Watch
I head out on watch duty on a Friday night whenever I can with
one of the committed Watch members.

Government support
for the East
Sometimes it’s not until we look back that we realise how
far we’ve come with the rebuild in Christchurch East. Beyond
the residential, we can all pat ourselves on the back for the
following:
Education
The Government has invested in three new
primary schools: $10.2m for Marshlands;
$14.5m for Waitakiri and $13.6 for Rawhiti.
Of course, we’ve also got the fabulous new
Haeta at $298m.
But wait, there’s more: a further $650m is
tagged for the upcoming relocation and
rebuild of Avonside Girls and Shirley Boys at
QE2 park; the rebuild of a Catholic primary
school in Aranui, and Banks Ave in Shirley.
Hospitals
The new Burwood Hospital, at $215m, is truly a state-of-the-art facility and a
fantastic asset for the East.
Social housing
The Government has poured a massive
investment into social housing from Aranui
to Shirley, and continues to actively build
as part of its social housing programme.
These new, warm and healthy homes
are benefiting plenty of Christchurch
East families and sprucing up the
neighbourhood!
The Force is with you, Christchurch East
The National-led Government is investing $503 million to provide new staff and
police services across New Zealand. That means a total of 1125 new police staff –
including 880 frontline officers – over the next four years. The Canterbury Police
District, including Christchurch East, will get an additional 10 boys (and girls!) in
blue over the next year to focus on child protection, adult sexual assault and
serious crime in our community. And that’s just the beginning.
The additional staff will boost police force capacity and help achieve better
outcomes for all. The first recruits will be on the beat in July.
New Brighton redevelopment
It may seem like there’s not a lot happening on the ground in New Brighton yet,
but there’s plenty of work going on
behind the scenes.
I have frequently voiced my support
for the new hot water salt pools
and redevelopment, and I’m
actively working with the Business
Association of New Brighton to
identify potential investors in the
area’s future. New Brighton has such a vibrant and steadfast community and it’s
going to take all of us – Government, CCC and community - to create the future
that we want for the area. As a side-note, it was an absolute pleasure to host
New Brighton artists at Parliament last year!
Business
Let’s not forget that the Government also funded some Christchurch East
businesses immediately after the earthquakes so that they could retain staff and
run their businesses. The business owners I know are hugely appreciative of the
investment, which has allowed them to continue thriving and operating out of the
electorate.

Budget a
big win for
Christchurch
East families
The Government’s budget on 25 May is great news for Christchurch East
families. Here are a few highlights in case you missed it:
A $2 billion a year Family Incomes Package that will help hard working
New Zealanders get ahead. The package will lift the incomes of 1.3 million
families by an average of $26 a week.
$4 billion to help build the public infrastructure we need as a growing
economy, as well as additional funding to strengthen the Business
Growth Agenda to help drive further economic growth, create jobs, and
lift wages.
$7 billion new investment in public services like health, education, and
law and order over the next four years, including $321 million in social
investment initiatives to help the most at-risk New Zealanders become
more independent.
This is an exciting budget that puts more money into the back pockets of
those who need it most - low and middle-income earners with young families
and higher housing costs.
By getting the economy growing again and putting the Government’s books
back in order we’ve given ourselves choices that few other countries have. We
can fund new initiatives that will make a difference to people’s lives. Some of
those include:
Joanne Hayes and Finance Minister Steven Joyce.
An additional $224 million over four years for mental health services.
$37 million to improve the safety of family violence victims and stop family
violence escalating.
$185 million to further expand social housing services.
$424 million for the new Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki.
