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 />
to attend a five-day course at the<br />
New Zealand School of Dance<br />
in Wellington. Anna is a year<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 />
and mental health benefits from<br />
walking, cycling and boating<br />
in amongst native forest and<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 />

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 />

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 />

Rachel Welfare said interested<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 />

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 />

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 />

said Ms Chan contacted them<br />
when she heard the choir would<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 />

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 />

Loving home guaranteed<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 />

Greetings to our<br />
Community.<br />
As this page<br />
shows, the life<br />
of a secondary<br />
school is busy and<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 />
phone 98<strong>20</strong>100, to book in a time.<br />
Nga mihi nui to our community as the<br />
positive activity of the year continues. I am<br />
always keen to meet people if any member<br />
of the community wishes to talk to me about<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 />
She and her twin Janet signed up so that<br />
they could make their families proud.<br />
Another participant, Havana described how<br />
she and others shook with nerves as they<br />
prepared to present their speeches.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more<br />
likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life<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 />
obligation quote and will come to your home<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 />
