Call for<br />

police<br />

station to<br />

stay open<br />

longer<br />

• Sophie Cornish<br />

A CALL is being made for the<br />

New Brighton Police Station to be<br />

open on Saturdays.<br />

The Coastal-Burwood<br />

Communtiy Board has asked<br />

police chiefs to open the Seaview<br />

Rd station on Saturday morning.<br />

The move is being backed by<br />

New Brighton Business and<br />

Landowners Association’s Paul<br />

Lonsdale.<br />

“There are concerns by businesses<br />

that there has been an<br />

increase of shop theft lately and<br />

we have been in talks with police<br />

on how to mitigate those issues<br />

and find solutions,” he said.<br />

Community board member and<br />

city councillor David East said<br />

police also needed to consider<br />

opening longer on weekdays than<br />

its current 9am-4pm.<br />

City councillor Glenn Livingstone<br />

said with the new beachside<br />

playground and salt water hot<br />

pools, increased police presence in<br />

the area would be beneficial.<br />

“Having them on site would<br />

make a lot more sense.”<br />

Currently police are required to<br />

come from Papanui for call-outs<br />

to eastern suburbs during the<br />

weekends.<br />

Inside<br />

FROM<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK<br />

NEW BRIGHTON people want<br />

the police station in Seaview Rd<br />

to be open at the weekends (see<br />

page 1).<br />

And in my mind, there’s no reason<br />

why it shouldn’t. New Brighton<br />

and surrounding seaside suburbs<br />

are an area in their own right;<br />

different to other Christchurch<br />

suburbs which roll into each other.<br />

Brighton people have always<br />

been very community-minded<br />

and the Pages Rd bridge acts like a<br />

border of sorts.<br />

The Brighton police station used<br />

to be open on the weekends (from<br />

memory) and local police dealt<br />

with local problems.<br />

But centralisation, decentralisation,<br />

and other ‘isations’ as different<br />

police administrations changed<br />

over the years has seen the station<br />

become a fort, where messages are<br />

left at the gate, and if there’s any<br />

troops inside they might be called<br />

out to fight the good fight.<br />

Still no solution over midge problem<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

ashion<br />

A SOLUTION has still not been<br />

found to eradicate Bromley’s<br />

midge plague.<br />

A meeting was held on <strong>August</strong><br />

7 between city council staff and<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board members aimed at finding<br />

a solution.<br />

The city council has spent<br />

$800,000 over two years<br />

unsuccessfully trying to fix<br />

Gardening<br />

the midge problem from the<br />

Waitakiri School bake sale collars $607 for SPCA<br />

PARENTS AND children at<br />

Waitakiri School raised more than<br />

$600 for abused and neglected<br />

animals.<br />

otoring<br />

The annual SPCA cupcake day<br />

took place on <strong>August</strong> 14.<br />

An enormous $2 million has been<br />

raised since the day first came about<br />

in 2009.<br />

People are encouraged to fundraise<br />

by baking and selling cupcakes in<br />

their schools and workplaces.<br />

Pupils from Waitakiri School got<br />

involved this year by selling and buy-<br />

asty Bites<br />

ing baked goods during morning tea<br />

and lunchtime.<br />

Along with a bed and food collection,<br />

$607 was collected and donated<br />

to the SPCA.<br />

wastewater plant.<br />

Nearby residents say they have<br />

had enough of putting up with<br />

midges over the years.<br />

But a veil of silence remains<br />

from the city council about what<br />

has emerged from the <strong>August</strong> 7<br />

meeting.<br />

Community board member<br />

Linda Stewart said her solution<br />

– adding UV protection – was<br />

discussed but won’t elaborate on<br />

other possibilities.<br />

City councillor Glenn Livingstone<br />

refused to discuss the matter<br />

with <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong>, saying:<br />

“It’s a complex matter and<br />

not easily resolved and it’s<br />

better if we assemble as much<br />

information as possible before<br />

putting it out there.”<br />

Ms Stewart said her solution<br />

would work.<br />

“This should’ve been put in<br />

place 20 years ago.”<br />

She said in the late 1990s, the<br />

South New Brighton Residents’<br />

Association fought hard for UV<br />

protection. But city council staff<br />

said it would only be added if<br />

needed.<br />

The cost has now increased<br />

from less than $5 million in the<br />

late 1990s to an estimated $23<br />

million, she said.<br />

But Ms Stewart said UV<br />

protection takes time, time<br />

residents don’t have with warmer<br />

weather around the corner.<br />

Bus stops<br />

at Palms<br />

to double<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

BUS STOPS outside The Palms<br />

Shopping Centre are set to double<br />

in size to accommodate the<br />

number of passengers in the area.<br />

The city council is seeking<br />

feedback on the plan that will<br />

see a suburban bus interchange<br />

be put in outside the mall –<br />

similar to the mega stop outside<br />

Northlands Shopping Centre.<br />

Although not to the same scale.<br />

Two bus stops are set to be<br />

upgraded, one on Shirley Rd<br />

adjacent to Shirley Intermediate<br />

School.<br />

The second is on New Brighton<br />

Rd outside the south end of the<br />

mall.<br />

The proposal is to extend the<br />

painted on road bus stops to<br />

accommodate two buses at the<br />

same time.<br />

City council staff said the<br />

bus routes that service the area<br />

are high frequency which often<br />

results in two buses attending the<br />

stop simultaneously.<br />

“As each stop currently only<br />

caters for one bus when a second<br />

bus arrives it may overhang the<br />

bus stop and can obstruct traffic,”<br />

they said.<br />

Smoke alarms need<br />

to stay on the ceilings<br />

Fashion<br />

<br />

• By Mark Thomas - Specialist fire<br />

investigator<br />

WE HAD a fatal fire in<br />

Christchurch last week.<br />

So it was not the best week in<br />

our office.<br />

Part of what we do is to<br />

constantly strive to prevent such<br />

Gardening<br />

things happening by ensuring<br />

people have smoke alarms and<br />

escape plans.<br />

In the tragic loss in Cashel St<br />

(right) there were some smoke<br />

alarms.<br />

They were correctly installed<br />

but we don’t know if they had<br />

been maintained.<br />

The last one, still sounding<br />

Motoring<br />

when firefighters entered, was the bedroom where the occupant<br />

was found.<br />

But this one wasn’t on the<br />

ceiling where the backing plate<br />

remained.<br />

It had been brought down too<br />

low to give adequate warning.<br />

Had the alarm just been left on<br />

the ceiling, at the highest point<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

in the room, there’s a chance the<br />

victim would have had time to<br />

escape.<br />

Such a little thing!<br />

As always there were kitchen<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

fires last week.<br />

At two of the four events,<br />

people ended up needing<br />

ambulance attention for smoke<br />

inhalation.<br />

Nearly always this is because<br />

they have left the kitchen and<br />

the cooking unattended and<br />

returned to fire and smoke.<br />

Then they desperately try to fix<br />

a situation that is beyond them.<br />

Stay in the kitchen!<br />

Most cooking fires will be controllable<br />

but only if you’re there<br />

when they start.<br />

There was a slightly odd fire<br />

cause in Woolston on <strong>August</strong><br />

12 where a low sun through<br />

the window reflected off a<br />

magnifying mirror causing<br />

curtains to start smoking.<br />

This happens occasionally.<br />

However, it’s one of those<br />

things that most of us would<br />

never consider.<br />

Call for nominations<br />

for road trauma awards<br />

ORGANISATIONS and people<br />

who deal with road accidents<br />

will be recognised for their<br />

work.<br />

The Canterbury Road Trauma<br />

Awards will be held at the Road<br />

Accident Remembrance Day at<br />

North Hagley Park on Saturday,<br />

November 4.<br />

Nominations for the awards<br />

are now being called for.<br />

Road Traffic Accident Trauma<br />

Charitable Trust spokeswoman,<br />

Sarah Dean, said the effects of<br />

road trauma extends far beyond<br />

the victims involved in the<br />

initial incident.<br />

The awards are seen as recognition<br />

and acknowledgement of<br />

this, she said.<br />

There are three award<br />

categories, Canterbury road<br />

trauma award for public<br />

service, trauma prevention and<br />

community service.<br />

The public service award will<br />

be for outstanding individuals,<br />

teams or organisations, who<br />

will receive recognition for their<br />

service and contribution to the<br />

duty of care for those affected by<br />

road trauma. This award is open<br />

to first responders, industry<br />

professionals from non-profit<br />

organisations and private and<br />

public organisations.<br />

The award for trauma<br />

prevention aims to recognise<br />

winners for their contribution<br />

to road safety, public education,<br />

road trauma prevention<br />

initiatives and duty of care in<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Those members of the community<br />

who have provided care<br />

or support to a road trauma victim<br />

throughout their treatment,<br />

recovery or rehabilitation will<br />

also be recognised through the<br />

community service award.<br />

Cashmere.<br />

Shirley Boys go into Thompson<br />

Trophy semi as the underdog<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School’s<br />

senior basketball team will face<br />

an uphill battle going into the<br />

Thompson Trophy semi-final<br />

against Cashmere High tonight.<br />

Shirley made the semi-final after<br />

a hard fought 94-84 win over<br />

Ashburton College last week.<br />

Cashmere beat Shirley, also<br />

known as ‘The Spartans’, 91-53 in<br />

round three of the competition,<br />

handing Shirley one of only three<br />

losses this season.<br />

That gives them the underdog<br />

status as they head to Cashmere<br />

for the 5.45pm game, Shirley<br />

coach Scott Howell said.<br />

Good decisions and limiting<br />

their mistakes will be key factors<br />

in beating the stacked Cashmere<br />

side, Howell said.<br />

Shirley captain and standout<br />

player Sean Kelly will lead the<br />

team in the semi-final clash, with<br />

one goal ticked off for the year by<br />

making the semis.<br />

Howell believes this year’s<br />

team is very strong and has a<br />

good chance of making the final.<br />

They are looking forward<br />

to pursuing their next goal<br />

of qualifying for the national<br />

tournament at the South Island<br />

tournament in Dunedin from<br />

September 6-9.<br />

Cashmere coach Ben Sheat<br />

said it was vital to stick to their<br />

structure and continue to control<br />

the defensive end if the team is to<br />

beat Shirley.<br />

“Lots of players have<br />

contributed in different ways<br />

to the group [this season] but<br />

Connor Mclaughlin, Oki Tilaia<br />

and Tom Russ-Hofmans have<br />

been outstanding,” he said.<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />

will look to defend their UC<br />

Championship title against<br />

Timaru Boys’ High on Saturday.<br />

They are in the final after a<br />

tough, come-from-behind battle<br />

against Nelson College, which<br />

required the depth off the bench<br />

to get them home 40-34 after<br />

trailing 29-12 at halftime.<br />

The last time CBHS met<br />

Timaru was in round three, with<br />

CBHS winning <strong>22</strong>-17.<br />

Starting fullback Rico Syme,<br />

who is a recent addition to the<br />

first XV due to injuries, slotted<br />

into first-five in the second half<br />

SPORTS<br />

CBHS to defend UC title<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High<br />

are the undisputed champions<br />

of girls rugby in the city after<br />

clinching their third consecutive<br />

UC Cup title on Wednesday.<br />

The girls made short work of<br />

Burnside-Rangi 36-7, running<br />

in six tries on the Ilam Fields to<br />

record their second consecutive<br />

undefeated season in the UC Cup.<br />

Their last loss was against<br />

Motueka Girls’ High in the<br />

Crusader regional playoff last<br />

year.<br />

Coach Jaime Livingstone<br />

said it was rewarding to see<br />

against Nelson and provided a<br />

few moments of magic to help<br />

the team get home.<br />

The final will be played at<br />

CBHS’s Straven Rd ground.<br />

CBHS have made a bit of a<br />

habit of going behind and then<br />

making a comeback, but they<br />

will look to correct that on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Timaru made the final after a<br />

solid 24-10 over Christ’s College<br />

in Timaru. Meanwhile, St Bede’s<br />

will play Marlborough Boys’<br />

College in the bowl final after<br />

beating Shirley Boys’ High 36-33,<br />

while St Andrew’s missed out on<br />

a spot in the plate final after a 57-<br />

14 defeat to Waimea Combined.<br />

Girls’ High pull off three-peat<br />

them enjoying their success<br />

especially for the year 13s who<br />

have been part of all three title<br />

victories.<br />

They will now look to add<br />

a national title to the cabinet,<br />

taking on Southland Girls’ High<br />

on Saturday for the South Island<br />

title. A win will qualify them for<br />

the national top four tournament<br />

in Palmerston North.<br />

FERRYMEAD MITRE 10 MEGA<br />

TRADE CENTRE, DIY<br />

More products, faster service<br />

Ferrymead’s popular Mitre 10 MEGA has expanded, with a<br />

spacious, new facility opening this week for its trade and DIY<br />

customers, and a new Landscaping Zone installed.<br />

Located right next door to the current drive-thru facility, the<br />

new outlet replaces the former Trade drive-thru, which has been<br />

closed so earthquake repairs can be undertaken. This will be<br />

reopened at a later date as a drive-thru and storage area.<br />

The culmination of almost four years’ work, which involved a<br />

complete fit-out to an existing building, the new 3200sqm premises<br />

and drive-thru facility is 50 per cent larger than the current drivethru,<br />

providing a much greater space for product display as well as<br />

easier and quicker access for tradespeople and DIY customers to<br />

purchase supplies.<br />

Trade manager John Barltrop says the new space also makes<br />

it easier for Mitre 10 team members to process orders efficiently<br />

during busy periods, while continuing to provide a high level of<br />

service for customers.<br />

The space features wide aisles with an extensive range of framing<br />

and finishing timbers, along with all the common wallboards and<br />

fixings.<br />

The other outstanding feature of Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead’s<br />

new site is the outdoor Timber Yard and Landscaping Zone,<br />

covering a further 7000sqm. This new area presents an extensive<br />

range of Landscaping supplies and incorporates 19 bulk bins,<br />

stocking a wide range of product including compost, lawn<br />

mix, bark, aggregates and decorative stone, giving professional<br />

landscapers and DIY customers plenty of options for their home<br />

and property improvement projects.<br />

Encouraging ExcEllEncE in our community<br />

The<br />

Principal’s<br />

Desk<br />

Towards the future<br />

Mairehau High School is in a strong<br />

position to offer students opportunities<br />

which will enable them to become<br />

learners who are critical thinkers and<br />

communicators, responsible and<br />

empathetic, confident and connected, digitally fluent, and who embrace<br />

challenges.<br />

Teachers within our school are leading and developing key initiatives which<br />

will provide students with the skills, capabilities and fluency to enable them<br />

to be successful life-long learners in a digital world. In our school, we use<br />

our head, heart and hands which enable us to describe the critical thinking<br />

student who is numerate and literate; a student who can take responsibility<br />

for their own learning and manage themselves. The students who pass<br />

through our school gates, learn in our classrooms, and access technology<br />

through our wireless internet provision, will be well set in the future to access<br />

tertiary or employment opportunities.<br />

Mairehau High School has implemented Modern Learning Practices through<br />

the schools Year 9 and Year 10 flexible learning environment initiative this<br />

year. our school continues to implement innovative and creative strategies to<br />

support and enhance school improvement and student achievement.<br />

To accommodate roll growth, a multimillion dollar building project is in the<br />

planning stage to transform Mairehau High School, and ensure secondary<br />

school co-educational school provision in the East of Christchurch. The<br />

school is about to enter the design stage. At the moment, we are waiting on<br />

key compliance reports to be completed before building can take place.<br />

Christchurch East Secondary Schools<br />

All Christchurch East Secondary Schools are passionate about improving<br />

achievement and learning outcomes for all. Mairehau High School is<br />

connecting and building relationships with Te Ara Tūhura, a cluster of Primary<br />

and Early Childhood schools in the East. This cluster is focused on improved<br />

outcomes for all our learners, in each of our schools. our school is also<br />

very keen to continue to foster strong relationships with our local tertiary<br />

institutions such as the university of Canterbury, Ara, Southern Institute of<br />

Technology, and Lincoln university. I am confident in working with other East<br />

Christchurch Secondary schools and education providers on the future and<br />

quality of Teaching and Learning for our learners.<br />

Acknowledgement<br />

I take this opportunity to acknowledge Mr Mark Bell ( former Deputy<br />

Principal) and to congratulate and wish him all the very best in his new<br />

role as an Education Review Evaluator. Mark has contributed significantly<br />

to Mairehau High School and we know that he will make a huge impact in<br />

making a positive difference to many other schools in his new position.<br />

Harry romana, Principal<br />

Congratulations<br />

We would like to congratulate our Deputy Principal, Mark<br />

Bell, on his appointment to a position at the Education<br />

Review office.<br />

It was with great sadness, but with our very best wishes,<br />

that we farewelled Mark at the end of Term 2. Mark had<br />

been at Mairehau High School for over 14 years, and was<br />

a highly respected and much beloved member of our<br />

school community.<br />

He was a wonderful ambassador for our school, always<br />

championing us to the wider community. Mark believed in our school, and<br />

believed in our students, always encouraging them to shoot for the stars and<br />

have pride in themselves. It is fair to say he enriched the lives of many students<br />

and staff in his time at Mairehau High School.<br />

Mark was welcomed to the Education Review office in a dignified and moving<br />

ceremony in Dunedin during the school holidays, with Harry Romana, the<br />

Principal, and Rebecca Swanson, the Assistant Principal, travelling to support<br />

him on behalf of the school.<br />

We wish him all the best in his new position at ERo. Kia kaha, Mr Bell. go well!<br />

Mark Bell<br />

It is our pleasure to announce that after a rigorous recruiting<br />

process, Ms Siobhan Murphy has been appointed to the<br />

position of Deputy Principal to Mairehau High School.<br />

Siobhan joins our staff in Term 4 as Deputy Principal from<br />

Aranui High School, where she was Assistant Principal in 2016.<br />

Siobhan’s association with Aranui High School began in 1989<br />

when she accepted a Homeroom position, teaching a junior<br />

class all their compulsory subjects, except PE. Further roles<br />

at Aranui included HoD Social Sciences, Dean, Tutor and<br />

more recently, the School garden’s chief gnome. Siobhan is very much looking<br />

forward to reconnecting with ex-colleagues and students from Aranui who are<br />

now at Mairehau High School.<br />

Siobhan lives in Mairehau with her husband Andrew. Together they have two<br />

children studying at university who they catch up with during holidays and<br />

hear from when the fridge in their flat needs refilling. During winter the whole<br />

family enjoys spending time together at Broken River Ski field.<br />

This year Siobhan has embarked on a Masters degree as well as learning Te Reo<br />

(Māori Language) which means her garden has been left to grow wild and due<br />

to the lack of exercise, her dog Alfie is growing larger and larger. Focussing<br />

on learning so intensely, Siobhan has found herself “walking in her students’<br />

shoes” and she realises that being a student in <strong>2017</strong> can be very challenging<br />

and exciting at the same time. The range of learning opportunities at Mairehau<br />

High School encouraging passion and offering individual challenges to both<br />

students and staff are what excites Siobhan most about joining us here.<br />

Top Student Excellence Award<br />

During the recent term break, Year 11 Student Cody McCallum<br />

attended the Blue Light Youth Course run at the Burnham<br />

Military Camp. Cody did extremely well on this and was awarded<br />

the Top Student Excellence Award out of 30 students who were<br />

on the course.<br />

Cody has a definite career pathway in place – and we hope to<br />

see Cody in a police officer’s uniform in the next few years.<br />

Tena koutou katoa<br />

At the end of Term 2, Mairehau High<br />

School was represented at Ngā Manu<br />

Kōrero - our regional Māori speech<br />

competition for both the Canterbury<br />

and West Coast regions, for the first<br />

time in 6 years.<br />

We were fortunate to have two of<br />

our students stand to represent us<br />

this year. We had Phoenix Neilson<br />

represent us in the Senior Māori<br />

section, and La Bella Currin-Waru<br />

represent us in the Senior English<br />

section. It was the first time both<br />

students had ever stood to represent<br />

at Ngā Manu Kōrero and did so in<br />

front of all of the competing schools<br />

in both the Canterbury and West<br />

Coast regions. Just getting to this<br />

point was an achievement in itself,<br />

not to mention that both of our<br />

representative students are in Year<br />

11 and were standing up against<br />

Year 12 and 13 students from the<br />

other competing schools.<br />

Both students did a great job and<br />

represented our school with pride.<br />

At the end of both speeches our<br />

newly established kapahaka group, under the reins of our new kapahaka tutor<br />

Miss Satriani Reihana, stood and performed our recently composed Mairehau High<br />

School haka for the first time in a public arena, with great passion.<br />

A lot of milestones were achieved that day.<br />

Whaea Dayna<br />

Hagley Dance Company<br />

on the 10th of <strong>August</strong> Hagley Dance<br />

Company came to our school to run a 90<br />

minute work shop. This was offered to all year<br />

11 - 13 Performing Arts students. It began<br />

with a performance by the Dance Company<br />

of a Maori inspired contemporary piece<br />

which was incredibly moving. They then ran<br />

a full muscle and bone warm up and then<br />

everyone split into groups to learn some<br />

contemporary choreography. This was great<br />

for dancers of all levels and everyone came<br />

away with a good experience.<br />

Dance and Performing Arts at Mairehau High<br />

School is thriving and continually moving<br />

forward!<br />

FLT (Flexible Learning Time)<br />

Mystery dish<br />

We recently had a visit from Canterbury university who delivered interactive lessons to<br />

all Year 9 and Year 10 students in FLT (Flexible Learning Time). Students learnt about<br />

water purification in developing countries and about the many economic and practical<br />

issues which impact upon this. our students created water filters in groups and were<br />

given budgets and materials in accordance with the nation they were allocated.<br />

our Year 9 students also have a Life Skills class which<br />

is covered in FLT. Some of the topics covered have<br />

been gardening, how to change a car tyre, meditation,<br />

driver education, cooking from a mystery food box and<br />

problem solving.<br />

Flexible Learning Time (or FLT) enables our students<br />

in Year 9 and 10 to engage in personalised, crosscurricular<br />

and real-life learning opportunities for 3<br />

hours each week. The emphasis is on our students<br />

choosing and directing their own learning journey with<br />

the support of their teaching team.<br />

Most recently our Year 10s worked on projects that<br />

might contribute to their future career selection whilst<br />

our Year 9s worked on projects that involved them<br />

learning invaluable life skills, though generally not on<br />

a school curriculum. Both projects involved students Learning to make water purifiers<br />

embracing new experiences and extending their<br />

knowledge, skills and thinking.<br />

Smokefree Rockquest <strong>2017</strong><br />

countless successes in its 29-year history such as Bic Runga, Anika<br />

Moa, Nesian Mystik and our very own Mairehau High School<br />

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

This year we had four entries with two groups and two soloists<br />

carrying on our proud tradition. Entrants have to write and<br />

perform original music.<br />

This year we had the group, Heck, I Don’t Know – Ella Peoples, Rachel Wilson, Maddy<br />

Bouma and Tammy Reynard, and soloist entrants, Rachel Nolan and Moeka Ishizawa,<br />

and Darrell Faamau Suaesi in a group with his friends, who competed at the Aurora<br />

Centre on Saturday May 27th.<br />

We were really proud when Darrell and his friends from Haeata were chosen to go<br />

forward to the Regional Final and even more so, when they were selected to go to the<br />

National Final on Sept 2 in Auckland. good luck to you and the group Darrell.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

RSI, OOS or Gradual Process Injury<br />

can be treated!<br />

What causes OOS? The Department<br />

of Labour states: “One of the<br />

favourable explanations for OOS is<br />

that it is caused by muscles being<br />

held tense or tight for too long.’’<br />

These conditions may be caused<br />

by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions,<br />

vibrations, mechanical compression, or<br />

sustained or awkward positions.<br />

The shorter and tenser the muscle, the<br />

harder it pulls on the places it attaches to<br />

(e.g. the bone). When this happens in the<br />

forearm the pull at those attachments and<br />

tendons causes irritation and inflammation<br />

of those areas. This will be noticed as pain in<br />

the elbow and wrist. When this happens in<br />

the neck and shoulder area, it will be noticed<br />

as local pain, stiffness and sometimes<br />

headaches. The nerves run right through<br />

the muscles. Tension on the muscles causes<br />

pressure on the nerves. As the muscles<br />

shorten, the nerves running through them<br />

have a tendency to both shorten and slide<br />

less well. This causes the nerves to radiate<br />

pain throughout the arm.<br />

Triggerpoints are areas in your muscles,<br />

where a few muscle fibres have contracted<br />

<br />

areas in your muscles felt during massage) neck. Pain in your<br />

<br />

cause referred pain.<br />

forearm can originate<br />

This drawing is an example of pain areas in your chest. This<br />

(the red area), caused by triggerpoints (the is the reason that<br />

black X).<br />

your therapist may<br />

<br />

<br />

treat an area, other<br />

than where you are<br />

<br />

experiencing pain.<br />

In the following<br />

drawing you can see<br />

the painful areas in<br />

the head caused by the triggerpoint in the<br />

neck. This is often the result of poor posture.<br />

<br />

Physical Sense has been treating<br />

this condition for the last 25 years.<br />

Their experience is:<br />

<br />

• Most of the patients who have had their<br />

pain for less than a year leave this clinic free<br />

This is your muscle’s reaction to of pain (but they have to be very careful to<br />

<br />

continuous irritation. In most cases, there avoid relapses).<br />

<br />

are multiple causes for this irritation. These • When the OOS pain has been there<br />

<br />

could be: repeated actions without breaks; for more than a year, that percentage drops<br />

constant <br />

static posture resulting in constant to 60%.<br />

<br />

muscle contraction; lack of healthy blood • The other 40% will leave the clinic with<br />

flow; <br />

bad posture resulting in continuous relief of pain and with knowledge about<br />

high <br />

loading of some muscles, etc. numerous strategies to relieve and handle<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Time Honoured Remedy<br />

Supporting Your<br />

Bowel & Digestive<br />

Function Helps<br />

Prevent Disease<br />

Keeping your digestive system<br />

and bowels functioning efficiently<br />

is definitely an important step in<br />

obtaining and maintaining good<br />

long term health.<br />

It is most important to keep the whole<br />

digestive and elimination systems of the<br />

body working efficiently. Many diseases<br />

have been linked with micro-organisms<br />

(virus) or a bacterial component. We know<br />

that when the digestive system and bowel<br />

function are poor we have many more health<br />

problems. These include arthritis, digestive<br />

problems like reflux and stomach pain,<br />

bladder infections, chronic skin conditions<br />

such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor<br />

eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors<br />

and a weakened immune system just to<br />

name a few.<br />

Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />

highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />

support the whole digestive system and it<br />

is especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />

bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />

used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />

digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds<br />

and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout,<br />

skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,<br />

urinary infections, liver dysfunction,<br />

Candida, weakened immune function and<br />

for people who want to keep their health as<br />

good as possible.<br />

The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />

production of digestive fluids and bile for<br />

efficient digestion. This alone may help<br />

prevent many diseases as a properly working<br />

digestive system will itself neutralise many<br />

disease causing organisms. LBS II also<br />

stimulates peristaltic action of the colon<br />

effectively cleansing the colon of any<br />

accumulated build-ups of waste material.<br />

It also relaxes abdominal cramping and<br />

spasms, enhances liver function, purifies<br />

the blood, neutralizes acidic conditions,<br />

helps destroy intestinal parasites and<br />

worms, and fights infection.<br />

Keeping your digestive system and<br />

bowels functioning efficiently is definitely<br />

an important step in obtaining and<br />

maintaining good long term health.<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<br />

vinegar and honey on arthritis can be<br />

remarkable with many patients reporting<br />

almost total relief after taking a course.<br />

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

regular administration of cider vinegar and<br />

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

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

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

McKenzie Lifestyle Village is in the final<br />

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

sites available and we also have a number<br />

of affordable villas ready for immediate<br />

occupation.<br />

Our beautiful Leisure Centre is available<br />

and the pools, gymnasium and library and<br />

lounge area are in use daily. Outside, the<br />

bowling green is very popular along with<br />

Petanque, Mini-golf and Table Bowls.<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 />

Another resident, David, says “my wife and<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 20 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 />

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

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

very 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 />

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 some other vinegars.<br />

Emma’s back!<br />

THAT’S right folks, Emma Palaamo has returned to<br />

the Richmond Club Bistro, and this time she is<br />

running it!<br />

Emma last worked at the Club when her parents<br />

Bev and Steve Palaamo were running the Bistro and<br />

Restaurant pre-EQ.<br />

Unsure of what she wanted to do when she left<br />

school Emma decided to attend university where she<br />

earned a degree in English and Psychology.<br />

“I’ve wondered if I’d ever use my degree, but I love<br />

being in the kitchen. Cooking’s in my blood. It’s what<br />

I’m used to,” said Emma.<br />

Largely trained by her father, Emma said she was<br />

nervous when she was initially offered running the<br />

Bistro.<br />

“My parents have such a good reputation and I don’t<br />

want to let Dad down. The reaction to my menu and<br />

cooking has been great, and regular members are very<br />

happy to see me back.”<br />

With her first few weeks spent gauging what diners<br />

wanted, Emma is confident she has streamlined the<br />

menu to provide a selection to satisfy everyone.<br />

“I’ve listened to what they want and have taken<br />

heed. by bringing back the old with new. I’m also<br />

doing blackboard specials and two course specials, as<br />

well as introducing a Kids’ menu.”<br />

The Club Bistro is open for LUNCH Tuesday to<br />

Sunday (Brunch), for DINNER Wednesday to Sunday<br />

and is also available for private functions.<br />

Greetings to our<br />

Community.<br />

Last year Linwood<br />

College and a<br />

group based on the East Christchurch<br />

community centres undertook a major<br />

community consultation about our<br />

school. This opportunity to be involved<br />

in the vision for the redevelopment of<br />

Linwood College was whole-heartedly<br />

embraced by the community. Over<br />

1300 people responded with many of<br />

these responses being face-to-face<br />

conversations.<br />

A variety of themes arose out of these<br />

conversations with the dominant being<br />

that:<br />

Linwood College should nurture<br />

personal excellence by providing<br />

varied opportunities to meet<br />

individual needs. The school should<br />

foster a ‘love to learn’ culture that<br />

creates high levels of achievement<br />

and success in ways that are<br />

accessible for all.<br />

This theme drives everything that we<br />

do and at present it is being applied to<br />

how our students select their senior<br />

subjects. Our own LC experience, that<br />

of our families and whãnau and formal<br />

research, all agree that for many<br />

teenagers the process of selecting<br />

subjects becomes more personally<br />

important and meaningful when part<br />

of considering wider career pathways.<br />

This is why LC now calls our Years 7-10<br />

curriculum the ‘Learning Pathway’ and<br />

Years 11-13 the ‘Career Pathway’.<br />

Yes, education is full of jargon but in this<br />

case, there actually are some helpful<br />

phrases that enhance understanding.<br />

Two such terms are Backward<br />

Mapping and UBD, Understanding<br />

by Design. A useful overall summary<br />

sentence is, “Start with the end in mind<br />

and work backwards.” To support this<br />

way of thinking we have redesigned<br />

the Career Pathways booklet and<br />

subsequent processes to link school<br />

subject choices with pathwayunderstanding.<br />

It is about positioning<br />

teenagers to be future-focussed:<br />

thinking ahead, playing to their<br />

strengths and accepting challenges.<br />

Ngã mihi nui to our community as the<br />

positive activity of the year continues. I<br />

am always keen to meet people if any<br />

member of the community wishes to<br />

talk to me about anything. My door is<br />

open.<br />

Gateway to our Future<br />

Emerging Leaders<br />

Last month the Samoan National Fagasa speech<br />

competition was held in Woolston at the EFKS<br />

church. Congratulations to Vai Mariner - 1st equal<br />

for Year 13, Titi Ma Sun - 4th for Year 13 and Gloria<br />

Su'a - 2nd for Year 11. This was an outstanding<br />

result especially considering that they were up<br />

against students from the Auckland and Wellington<br />

regions!<br />

As the newly appointed Performing<br />

Arts teacher, when I first came to<br />

Linwood College I was quick to see<br />

the wonderful talent that our school<br />

had and sought a musical which our<br />

students and families would enjoy.<br />

Settling on a Maverick Musical called,<br />

‘Wolfstock’ (written by Mary McMahan<br />

with music by Donald Woodward),<br />

this was the perfect challenge for our<br />

students.<br />

With time and practice the students<br />

thrived in this environment and the<br />

end product was exciting, funny and<br />

dynamic. I am exceptionally proud of<br />

my students and the effort that they put<br />

in. To all the parents who transported,<br />

waited, got up super early and gathered<br />

costumes - thank you so much! We<br />

could not have done this without your<br />

support. I can't wait for the next one.<br />

In early July, selected students<br />

were given the opportunity<br />

to attend the annual Christ’s<br />

College Emerging Leaders’<br />

Conference, along with<br />

representatives from many<br />

Canterbury schools. At this<br />

conference many inspirational<br />

speakers told their own<br />

unique stories and passed<br />

on quintessential advice for<br />

Communities of Learning<br />

aspiring young leaders.<br />

Callum Lawson, said that the<br />

day was an inspiration. His<br />

favourite message was from<br />

the speaker Joel Bouzaid, that<br />

leadership is something that<br />

you can own, something that<br />

you can bend and mould to suit<br />

your traits and strengths, so<br />

that you can be the leader you<br />

hope to be.<br />

Linwood College belongs to two Communities of Learning. Tamai is the schools<br />

of Bamford, Bromley, Linwood Avenue, Linwood College, Linwood North,<br />

Tamariki and Te Waka Unua. The other is Aupaki: Heathcote Valley, Linwood<br />

College, Mount Pleasant, Our Lady Star of the Sea, Redcliffs and Sumner.<br />

We are very excited about the rich opportunities that lay ahead for our tamariki<br />

within these learning communities or kãhui ako from early childhood through to<br />

secondary school and beyond for many years to come.<br />
