Urgent<br />
meeting<br />
sought with<br />
Education<br />
Ministry<br />
on future<br />
of schools<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AN URGENT meeting with the<br />
Ministry of Education has been<br />
requested to discuss the future<br />
of several school sites across east<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board want to hold<br />
the meeting before Christmas.<br />
Future use of the Burwood<br />
School site, a delay in the<br />
demolition of Aranui Primary<br />
School, discussions about the sale<br />
of Central New Brighton School,<br />
and the impact six school<br />
closures has had will be on the<br />
agenda.<br />
The community board will also<br />
request meetings be set up with<br />
community groups in response to<br />
the use of the Aranui and Central<br />
New Brighton school sites.<br />
Said Coastal-Burwood Ward<br />
city councillor Glenn Livingstone:<br />
“Given the significance of the loses<br />
– several schools – we’re saying,<br />
hey, we want your attention.”<br />
“Because this is big. Those<br />
decisions were made following the<br />
earthquake.”<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />
THERE APPEARS to be a bone of<br />
contention over whether the grass on an<br />
empty section in Avondale (see page 3) is a<br />
fire risk or not.<br />
Neighbour Maree Ross has been trying<br />
without success to get the undergrowth cut<br />
for sometime.<br />
She and a nearby kindergarten say it’s a fire risk.<br />
It is the section owner’s responsibility to cut the undergrowth.<br />
But that person can’t be traced.<br />
So Maree wants the city council to step in.<br />
It appears they won’t. They’ve told her the undergrowth isn’t a<br />
health risk in terms of rats, flies and other inhabitants.<br />
Fire risk doesn’t seem to be on their radar.<br />
And that’s puzzling given there’s a fire ban in place and the<br />
region is tinder dry.<br />

Clean this up – neighbour<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AN AVONDALE woman fed<br />
up with living next door to an<br />
overgrown property has been<br />
told it isn’t the city council’s<br />
problem.<br />
Maree Ross has tried for more<br />
than 18 months to get some<br />
action on the mess which she<br />
believes is a fire risk, attracts<br />
flies and vermin and is affecting<br />
her physical and mental health.<br />
The property is next<br />
to Woolley St Kidsfirst<br />
kindergarten which is also<br />
concerned about the fire risk.<br />
Ms Ross was visited by a<br />
city council staff member on<br />
Thursday. He said the section<br />
is not a health nuisance. The<br />
section was not assessed<br />
for fire risk, a city council<br />
spokeswoman said yesterday.<br />
The city council was unable<br />
to contact the owner to clean up<br />
the property, Ms Ross said she<br />
was told.<br />
City council spokeswomen<br />
Claire Le Grice said the<br />
maintenance responsibilities<br />
for private property sit with the<br />
property owner, unless it poses a<br />
safety risk.<br />
“The council may issue a<br />
notice requiring an occupier to<br />
trim or remove vegetation where<br />
it is likely to become a source<br />
of danger in the event of a fire;<br />
or it causes an obstruction by<br />
encroaching onto footpaths,<br />
cycleways or roads.<br />
The city council placed fire<br />
restrictions on the city on<br />
Saturday.<br />
“Long, dry grass can cause<br />
fires to spread quickly so it<br />
is important at this time of<br />
year that people keep any<br />
grass around their property<br />
trimmed,’’ said Richard Neale,<br />
compliance and investigations<br />
team leader.<br />
Ms Ross said the empty<br />
section was purchased after the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Nothing has been done to<br />
maintain the site since.<br />
Ms Ross’ hay-fever has<br />
increased since living next to the<br />
overgrown garden.<br />

ROCKABILLY UPDATE<br />
The future of Rockabilly Show<br />
and Shine in Rawhiti Domain<br />
may be decided today. Event<br />
organisers will be meeting with<br />
city council staff and members<br />
from the Christchurch Archery<br />
Club to discuss dates. The<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board has expressed its support<br />
for the event. It has also requested<br />
advice from the city council about<br />
the possibility of a designated<br />
events space being established<br />
in the domain. Rockabilly event<br />
organisers cannot commence<br />
with planning and marketing<br />
until a date is confirmed.<br />
RABBITS TO STAY<br />
Rabbits living on roundabouts<br />
in the red zone are able to stay. A<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
spokeswoman said the issue<br />
has ‘gone on the back-burner’<br />
and nothing more will be<br />
happening this year. The rabbits<br />
occupy roundabouts on Anzac<br />
Drive, New Brighton and Travis<br />
Rds. There have been traffic<br />
safety concerns because of the<br />
distractions they were causing<br />
to motorists. There were also<br />
concerns about people crossing<br />
the road with children to get to<br />
the roundabouts. NZTA has said<br />
the rabbits might have to be culled<br />
or captured and released.<br />

Christmas tips to keep<br />
your pets safe over the<br />
festive season<br />
‘Tis the season to be jolly! In the spirit of the<br />
coming festive season the staff at McMaster<br />
and Heap Veterinary Practice wish to give<br />
you some helpful tips on how to keep your<br />
pets safe and happy over this busy time.<br />
Festive foods:<br />
Many festive foods can be harmful and<br />
toxic to cats & dogs – here are some of<br />
the major ones that pop up every year at<br />
Christmas time!<br />
Grapes and Raisins - Some types of<br />
grapes and raisins have been shown to<br />
cause kidney failure in dogs when eaten<br />
in toxic quantities. So think before offering<br />
your pet some tasty Christmas cake or<br />
yummy ‘treats’ off the fruit platers.<br />
Onions - Pieces of raw onion, onion<br />
powder, or even cooked onion can cause<br />
damage to red blood cells, which could<br />
result in hemolytic anemia.<br />
Garlic - fresh and powdered forms of garlic<br />
are more potent than onions. These also<br />
cause damage to red blood cells. Cats are<br />
much more sensitive as they have more<br />
fragile red blood cells.<br />
Xylitol - Xylitol is a sugar alternative that<br />
is used in many commercial ‘sugar-free’<br />
candies, gum, and other food items.<br />
Xylitol has been shown to cause severe<br />
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver<br />
damage in dogs and can be fatal. Xylitol<br />
keeps popping up in unexpected places –<br />
the newest one is peanut butter, so be sure<br />
to read the label carefully.<br />
Macadamia Nuts - dangerous to dogs<br />
when eaten can result in weakness,<br />
depression, vomiting, incoordination, and<br />
tremors. In most cases, dogs developed<br />
clinical signs within the first twelve hours<br />
after eating the macadamia nuts.<br />
Chocolate - Contains Theobromine and<br />
caffeine which can cause increased heart<br />
rate, tremors, and excitation, depending<br />
on the type and the quantity ingested<br />
potentially death when ingested at a toxic<br />
dose. Other effects seen with chocolate<br />
overdose are vomiting, diarrhea, increased<br />
thirst, increased urination, and lethargy.<br />
Dark chocolate is the most serious as it<br />
contains the most theobromine, then milk<br />
chocolate, while white chocolate doesn’t<br />
contain any, but still not healthy for your<br />
dog to have.<br />
Cooked bones – These easily splinter<br />
and the bone shards can cause choking or<br />
get stuck in your dog’s gums or stomach<br />
resulting in emergency surgery. Discourage<br />
your dog from foraging in your bins and try<br />
to secure all of the lids.<br />

Christmas Decorations<br />
Christmas decorations are not for pets to<br />
play with.<br />
• Keep your pet away from plants, many of<br />
which are poisonous, especially lilies which<br />
are extremely toxic for cats and results in<br />
acute kidney failure.<br />
• Keep electrical wires and batteries out of<br />
your pets reach. Chewing electrical cables<br />
can cause electric shock or burns to the<br />
mouth.<br />
• Be careful if you are using tinsel on your<br />
tree. If eaten, the tinsel can block your pets<br />
intestines – we saw several of these last<br />
Christmas!<br />
Don’t forget about your RABBITS<br />
Flystrike is a serious condition in rabbits.<br />
It occurs mostly in the summer months<br />
and we see a lot of cases over the holiday<br />
season as people get really busy and forget<br />
to regularly check on their pets.<br />
Flystrike is extremely distressing and it is<br />
also potentially fatal. It is caused by flies that<br />
are attracted to damp fur, urine, faeces and<br />
the odour of the rabbit’s scent. The flies<br />
will land on the rabbit normally around the<br />
rabbits rear end and lay their eggs. Within<br />
a very short time of 2 hours the eggs will<br />
hatch into maggots which start to feed on<br />
the rabbits skin. This process happens very<br />
quickly and is not always caught in time.<br />
Check your rabbit twice a day and if you<br />
find a maggot on your rabbit take it to us<br />
immediately.<br />

The Tart Tin<br />
By Matt Cross<br />
You know you’re onto something good when there’s consistently a<br />
queue for a particular Farmers Market stall. So it is for Matt Cross’s<br />
Tart Tin at the weekly Otago Farmers Market. Those in the know flock<br />
to Matt’s attractively styled retro caravan to get their fill of hand-made,<br />
delicious sweet treats. In this delightful cookbook, you will discover<br />
recipes from throughout Matt’s career as a professional chef and he<br />
will guide you through the creation of treats that he’s famed for selling<br />
at the Otago Farmers Market. For Matt, these recipes aren’t just a list of<br />
ingredients and measurements, they’re snapshots of his life, passed on<br />
from chefs and people who have influenced him through his journey.<br />
Matt’s approachable recipes and helpful hints allow even the novice<br />
baker to master the delights of the Tart Tin’s most delicious treats. In<br />
passing on these recipes, Matt hopes that everyone can enjoy a sweet<br />
moment once in a while.<br />
Dogs with Jobs<br />
By Laura Greaves<br />
Discover the true stories of some of the world’s incredible working<br />
dogs, and the extraordinary jobs they undertake. Meet Molly, the<br />
diabetes alert dog whose round-the-clock job is to keep her two<br />
young owners healthy; Bailey, the Assistant Director of Seagulls<br />
whose job is to keep the pesky birds away from the heritage vessels<br />
at the Australian National Maritime Museum and Daisy, the Collie mix<br />
who is a full-time guide dog to another blind dog. From inspirational<br />
moments of bravery in service, to tales of dogs doing the jobs that no<br />
one else can, these are the life-affirming stories of the hardest-working<br />
dogs in the world.<br />
The long and winding Aotearoa<br />
By George Lockyer<br />
Driving a car (when are we there) you’re always on the way to<br />
somewhere. On a bike, you’re already there in the landscape, in the<br />
moment. And sometimes there’s literally nowhere else you’d rather<br />

Sculpture turns back to dust<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A SELF-destructing sculpture<br />
represents the “fragility” of the<br />
eastern suburbs, according to its<br />
creator.<br />
New Brighton-based artist<br />
Melissa Macleod’s Salt of the<br />
Earth sculpture is made almost<br />
entirely of sand and has slowly<br />
collapsed.<br />
Located in the red zone on<br />
the corner of Linwood Ave and<br />
Woodham Rd, the temporary<br />
sculpture attempts to link east<br />
Christchurch to the central city.<br />
“I am interested in giving the<br />
east more of a voice. I like to<br />
do that by using materials that<br />
make you think of the east side<br />
of town. Sand is an obvious one,”<br />
said Macleod.<br />
It is a continuation of her other<br />
art works which engage the<br />
city’s coastal communities and<br />
the environmental and social<br />
challenges they face.<br />
In the past, Macleod has used<br />
sea water to create pieces and<br />
could possibly use coastal yellow<br />
daisies in future projects.<br />
The giant sand wedge<br />
mimicked a door stop when it<br />
was first built.<br />
“It’s a strong shape. The<br />
wedge is used a lot in sculptural<br />
practice. It’s quite significant in<br />
that it does prise things open,<br />
ARTISTIC: Melissa Macleod with her crumbling sand sculpture<br />
which she says reflects the “fragility of the east”.<br />
and also as a door jam, it holds<br />
things open. I quite like its<br />
symbolism.”<br />
“The crucial point for me<br />
is that it is strong but it also<br />
dissolves, softens and weakens<br />
and that is essentially cutting to<br />
what the core of life is out this<br />
way (in the east).”<br />
Macleod was aware of<br />
the sculpture’s potential<br />
disintegration but “hoped that it<br />
would speak to the strength and<br />
fragility of a community that is<br />
both determined and trodden<br />
under foot”.<br />
“The ultimate aim was that it<br />
might stand as a strong looking<br />
form for maybe a day, but it<br />
is sand and I asked it to do an<br />
incredible thing by being that<br />
big, but I think the hot days we<br />
had could’ve affected it. The<br />
ground is very solid and there is<br />
a lot of vibration in the ground<br />
from passing trucks.”<br />
She hopes the crumbling<br />
sculpture will challenge public<br />
perception.<br />
“It’s a real test of what public<br />
sculpture can be or what the<br />
public will cope with to some<br />
degree. It’s sort of like placing a<br />
broken thing in a public place<br />
and that might challenge some<br />
people. They might not see it as<br />
part of the work – they might see<br />
it as a problem.”<br />
•From page 1<br />
“They didn’t have to be, we<br />
were already going through<br />
enough,” “It’s time to sit down<br />
and have a conversation. It’s<br />
kind of along the lines of ‘you<br />
owe us’,” Cr Livingstone said.<br />
Recently, a facility needs<br />
assessment was<br />
carried out by an<br />
independent social<br />
researcher for the<br />
community board<br />
to identify gaps<br />
within communities<br />
following the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
It found a lack<br />
of community<br />
meeting points in<br />
the east, especially<br />
in Dallington, Avondale and<br />
Burwood.<br />
The former Burwood School<br />
site has been suggested as a site<br />
for a meeting facility.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Community board<br />
requests urgent<br />
meeting on school<br />
sites with ministry<br />
Primary site could be used for<br />
community purposes as well.<br />
As a result of a lack of<br />
facilities, the report found<br />
residents were feeling an<br />
increase in loneliness.<br />
“Informants talked about<br />
older residents who now do not<br />
go anywhere and are very<br />
socially isolated,” said the<br />
report.<br />
Dallington Residents’<br />
Association chairman<br />
Mark Beanland agreed.<br />
“There’s always been<br />
apathy and there’s always<br />
been the feeling that<br />
we’ve been forgotten,” Mr<br />
Beanland said.<br />
Cr Livingstone hopes<br />
the meeting with MOE<br />
will help this issue.<br />
“We lost the roots, home,<br />
place and belonging . . . they<br />
were taken away not only by the<br />
earthquakes but by decisions<br />
made by Government,” he said.<br />

Principal’s Report<br />
Warm greetings to<br />
the Linwood College<br />
community. Kia ora<br />
koutou. Talofa lava.<br />
Kia orana. Malo e<br />
lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa<br />
atu. Namaste.<br />
Kumusta.<br />
Linwood College<br />
enjoys celebrating<br />
student success in all its forms so our<br />
congratulations to the prizewinners<br />
highlighted on this page. I would like to also<br />
congratulate all Junior students who were<br />
awarded prizes at the <strong>2017</strong> Junior Prize Giving<br />
ceremony held on 11th <strong>December</strong>.<br />
Our community views education as<br />
the wellbeing of the whole person. All<br />
developmentally positive experiences enrich<br />
our students’ understanding of whom they<br />
are and broaden their outlook. They nurture<br />
students’ classroom focus by contextualising<br />
their learning and sowing the seeds of positive<br />
ambition.<br />
Linwood College believes in a “pathwayed<br />
Other Major Award Winners<br />
curriculum”. This means the school, students<br />
and families knowing:<br />
1. Students’ learning and skills as they come<br />
into LC from our partner primary schools<br />
and building on these successes<br />
2. How the learning at LC connects to what<br />
the students want to do when they leave<br />
school. “What are my post-school pathways<br />
and how does my LC help me achieve these<br />
pathways?”<br />
In this way learning is meaningful to the<br />
individual and strengths-based. At Linwood<br />
the individual matters.<br />
Finally, the Education Review Office reviewed<br />
Linwood College in the second half of term 3.<br />
The confirmed report is now public and I am<br />
delighted to say that the school is back on the<br />
three year return cycle. It is a testament to<br />
everyone’s collective vision and positive work<br />
for our school: BOT, staff, students, whanau,<br />
partner schools and community.<br />
Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive<br />
season and summer holiday.<br />

Year 10s get Enterprising<br />
Last week ninety Year 10 students worked<br />
hard for three days in the school gym to create<br />
business ideas. Two presenters from the Young<br />
Enterprise Trust came to the school to lead the<br />
students through the process of creating and<br />
developing businesses. On Wednesday, the<br />
students were put into groups of between five and<br />
ten students and given the challenge of creating<br />
a new business based on modern technology. By<br />
Friday, the students were ready to present their<br />
ideas and associated business plans to judges<br />
from the local business community.<br />
Here Sina Sila and her team mates are presenting<br />
their idea ‘Zoinks’ - an app that stops you from making<br />
unnecessary purchases to Gyaney from BP.<br />
<strong>2017</strong> Senior Prizegiving Awards<br />
Early in Term 3, the school’s senior<br />

Weight of gym phobia lifted<br />
ADVERSITY: Libby Searle<br />
started her own home gym<br />
and fitness business and was<br />
named small group trainer of<br />
the year at the New Zealand<br />
Exercise Industry Awards.<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
LIBBY SEARLE used to fear<br />
exercise and the gym as she<br />
struggled to overcome obesity,<br />
anorexia and binge eating.<br />
But now the fit and trim<br />
business owner runs her own<br />
home gym to help women build<br />
confidence and get over the fears<br />
she once had.<br />
The competitive bench-presser<br />
has just won a national exercise<br />
award for small group trainer of<br />
the year.<br />
The 26-year-old Avondale<br />
resident runs Libby Searle<br />
Fitness on Breezes Rd and<br />
is “changing women’s lives<br />
through weight training”.<br />
“I always thought that the<br />
gym was for fit people, so<br />
when that changed in my life,<br />
I wanted to help other women<br />
realise they could do that too. I<br />
wanted them to make that first<br />
step into the gym and that’s<br />
where my group classes, ladies<br />
lifting, was born.”<br />
The personal trainer opened<br />
her home gym in 2016 and now<br />
runs 13 ‘ladies’ lifting’ classes<br />
and four high-intensity circuit<br />
classes every week.<br />
“I love working from home<br />
and having my own studio. I<br />
think the girls like having that<br />
privacy as well. We’ve got our<br />
own wee community going on,”<br />
said Miss Searle.<br />
Her journey to health<br />
started in 2011 when a flatmate<br />
suggested they run a half<br />
marathon.<br />
“At the age of 19, I was<br />
heading towards obesity, had<br />
lost all confidence, was getting<br />
sick all the time, and couldn’t<br />
even walk to the end of the<br />
street without getting puffed.”<br />
“We ran a lamp post, walked<br />
NO PAIN NO<br />
GAIN: Libby<br />
Searle hard<br />
at work.<br />
a lamp post and we actually did<br />
it . . . and that was the turning<br />
point for me,” she said.<br />
Miss Searle started going to<br />
a gym following a hip injury<br />
which prevented her from running.<br />
She was thrilled to receive the<br />
award. “I was so surprised that<br />
I had won. I was really stoked<br />
actually, it was quite cool.”<br />
She hopes to own her own<br />
commercial, boutique-style gym<br />
in the future.<br />

Users to take over community<br />
centre bookings from council<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A NEW community facilities booking<br />
service may help maximise the use of free<br />
spaces for groups in the city’s east.<br />
Local community groups have expressed<br />
an interest in managing the bookings<br />
done through the city council’s call<br />
centre.<br />
A community facility report for the<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community Board<br />
completed by an independent researcher<br />
found the booking system was not as effective<br />
as it could be.<br />
“Concerns were raised that bookings<br />
for the community centres are taken and<br />
managed by the city council call centre,<br />
and anyone can book the facility for<br />
any duration providing it is available.<br />
In practice, this means that for large<br />
chunks of time on a recurring basis, the<br />
facility is booked out by the same groups,<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
ACCESS: The Aranui/<br />
Wainoni Community<br />
Centre will trial a new<br />
booking service, with<br />
user groups taking<br />
over the role from city<br />
council.<br />
preventing access by other groups or local<br />
residents,” said researcher Sarah Wylie.<br />
She interviewed about 27 key stakeholders<br />
from suburbs in both wards.<br />
The co-ordinated approach will make<br />
it easier to match the multiple facilities to<br />
users’ needs.<br />
Residents from Aranui, North New<br />
Brighton, South Brighton, Queenspark<br />
and Parklands identified the change<br />
would be positive.<br />
The city council plans to conduct a trial<br />
with the Aranui Community Trust for the<br />
Aranui/Wainoni Community Centre.<br />
If successful, the Aranui Community<br />
Trust will also manage the bookings for St<br />
Ambrose church.<br />
The Bridge South Brighton Trust has<br />
also identified an interest in taking over<br />
bookings for the South Brighton Community<br />
Centre and South Brighton Surf Life<br />

Pupils tested at police college<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
FOUR MARSHLAND School<br />
pupils are on their way to being<br />
as fit as a police officer.<br />
The year 7 and 8 pupils gained<br />
the quickest time for intermediate<br />
students in the physical<br />
competency test at the Royal New<br />
Zealand Police College in Wellington.<br />
The annual event is run by Blue<br />
Light New Zealand with teams<br />
of intermediate-aged pupils participating<br />
in mental and physical<br />
challenges.<br />
The Marshland team finished<br />
third overall out of 20 teams in<br />
the two-day national competition.<br />
Marshland was one of two<br />
Christchurch schools selected<br />
from a city-wide competition run<br />
by Blue Light Canterbury to get<br />
an all-expenses paid trip to Wellington.<br />
St Patrick’s School, Bryndwr,<br />
was the other selected and the<br />
two teams trained and travelled<br />
together.<br />
Marshland teacher Paul Tyson<br />
said the pupils are “really motivated<br />
kids.”<br />
“They came back buzzing . . .<br />
they were really wrapped to get<br />
the fastest time. Even though they<br />
came third overall, they were still<br />
really pleased with that result,”<br />
said Mr Tyson.<br />
One of the four pupils has<br />
already showed interest in joining<br />
the police force.<br />

Avonside old girl at emerging<br />
leaders meeting in Thailand<br />
MAKING FRIENDS: Courtney Cray with some Thai children on<br />
a visit outside of Bangkok.<br />
A FORMER Avonside Girls’<br />
High student is making her mark<br />
internationally, taking part in the<br />
University Scholars Leadership<br />
Symposium in Thailand.<br />
Courtney Cray was one of<br />
more than 900 students from<br />
about 60 countries at the eighth<br />
symposium aimed at emerging<br />
leaders.<br />
The Parklands resident who is<br />
studying towards a Bachelor of<br />
Social Work degree is passionate<br />
about supporting families<br />
facing challenges and hopes her<br />
experience at the symposium<br />
will help.<br />
“Within New Zealand, and<br />
globally, even beginning to<br />
comprehend the magnitude of<br />
the social injustices taking place<br />
can be overwhelming,” she said.<br />
Mrs Cray said a highlight of<br />
the symposium was visiting a<br />
village outside Bangkok where<br />
people are working to be fully<br />
self-sufficient.<br />
“During our time, we met<br />
with locals, and learnt firsthand<br />
about the Thai farmers’<br />
lifestyle and how they worked<br />
collaboratively to be selfsufficient.<br />
The experience left me<br />
with a greater appreciation of<br />
the hard work that goes into<br />
producing rice and admiration<br />
for the grassroots initiatives the<br />
community have in place.”<br />
The 27-year-old juggles study<br />
with part-time work and looking<br />
after her two-year-old daughter.<br />
Mrs Cray said it was a<br />
remarkable experience .<br />
“I look back to the beginning<br />
of the year and never saw myself<br />
doing this,” she said.<br />
“It was truly an amazing<br />
opportunity getting to meet<br />
with such a diverse group of<br />
people and learn how they<br />
were pursuing change in their<br />
communities. I came away<br />
feeling challenged and inspired.”<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />
From the Board<br />
As we go to print we are excited to hear<br />
our new Bishop, Fr Paul Martin SM,<br />
has been appointed to Christchurch. In<br />
celebrating the news, a special thank<br />
you must go to Fr Rick Loughnan for<br />
his leadership in the interim, to the<br />
Diocese for its ongoing support and<br />
we remember Bishop Barry Jones<br />
with fondness. Bishop-Elect Paul’s<br />
appointment represents an exciting<br />
new phase of growth for our<br />
Catholic community.<br />
Thank you to our Board of Trustees,<br />
college and community and members<br />
of the Marian Foundation for your work<br />
throughout <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy the<br />
well-earned break. There are some fantastic<br />
programmes, and collaborative project<br />
opportunities planned for 2018.<br />
And finally, congratulations to our <strong>2017</strong><br />
Marian College leavers. The gospel values<br />
– which underpin the special character of<br />
Marian College – will guide you well into<br />
the future. We wish you all the very best<br />
and please keep in touch.<br />
Wishing you good health and blessings<br />

has received the St John Grand Prior<br />
Award in a ceremony hosted by the<br />
Governor-General in Dunedin.<br />
The Grand Prior Award is the ultimate<br />
award, other than for bravery, for St John<br />
Cadets. Georgiana was one of 90 cadets<br />
- including former Marian student Steph<br />
Wessing (left) - from around New Zealand<br />
to receive the prestigious award.<br />
‘I love learning new leadership skills and<br />
I’m really thankful I joined St John, as<br />
otherwise I wouldn’t have considered the<br />
Navy as a career path,’ she says.<br />
Georgiana’s plans include a gap year,<br />
travel, and a career in the Navy<br />
as a medic.<br />
The opportunities and benefits of an innercity<br />
campus are many for Marian College<br />
students.<br />
From Year 11, students can choose to<br />

College students<br />
participating in the<br />

The programme is a<br />
partnership between<br />
Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te<br />

and seven eastern<br />
Christchurch secondary<br />

from Otago University. Keely will be<br />
participating in a week-long Hands-on<br />
at Otago programme during the summer<br />
holidays to experience being a science<br />
student on campus.<br />
Keely says she is very excited to be<br />
accepted onto the fully-funded programme.<br />
‘I’m interested in a career in health,<br />
science and physiology so it will be a great<br />
opportunity to see what Otago University is<br />
like,’ she says.<br />
‘Recognising my gifts and<br />
understanding how I can use them to<br />
help others, was the biggest realisation<br />
for me,’ Rawinia says.<br />
Zonta Awards<br />
The Zonta Awards are a celebration of the<br />
highest sports achievers - leaders in their<br />
sport locally and often competitors on the<br />
world stage.<br />
This year, three Marian College students<br />
were finalists at the Zonta Sports Awards.<br />
Renee Rae won the top award for her<br />
contribution to netball umpiring. A judge<br />
said Renee follows a long tradition of<br />
Marian students who have won the award,<br />
and there was something very special about<br />
Marian College and its tradition of service.<br />
Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu)<br />
and Millicent Smith (Ngāpuhi) were both<br />
nominated for outstanding achievement<br />
for their New Zealand representation<br />
in football and ice hockey respectively.<br />

KIDSTUFF<br />
Kids love<br />
MAINTENANCE: Donnell Park’s playground is in good condition, however the<br />
tennis court, basketball court, paths, drinking fountain and toilet block need<br />
repairs.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Call to address maintenance<br />
issues at Donnell Park<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
“A LOT of maintenance”<br />
is needed in Burwood’s<br />
Donnell Park before<br />
it is considered a fully<br />
functioning community<br />
park again.<br />
Coastal-Burwood<br />
Ward city councillor<br />
David East (right) said<br />
with the east Burwood<br />
community growing,<br />
the park upkeep needs<br />
to be addressed.<br />
“Already when you drive<br />
down Travis Rd now you<br />
can see a number of new<br />
houses being built and<br />
there will be a need for a<br />
community park.”<br />
City council head of<br />
parks Brent Smith said the<br />
playground is in good condition<br />
but the tennis court,<br />
basketball court,<br />
paths, drinking<br />
fountain and toilet<br />
block need repair<br />
or renewal work.<br />
“Staff will be<br />
scoping out the<br />
repairs over the<br />
coming weeks, identifying<br />
budget requirements and<br />
checking on the status of<br />
the infrastructure servicing<br />
the area. This includes<br />
reinstating a linkage path<br />
across to Kingsbridge<br />
Drive from the playground,”<br />
said Mr Smith.<br />
Reinstating the sports<br />
field is not likely due to its<br />
low lying nature following<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
In the meantime, the<br />
mowing around the<br />
playground and the<br />
garden maintenance will<br />
be brought back up to the<br />
required standard.<br />
“It has potential, the<br />
infrastructure is all there,<br />
it just needs bit of TLC to<br />
bring it back to scratch,”<br />
said Cr East.<br />

FLAME FILES<br />
Fire warning as summer<br />
starts heating up early<br />
• By Mark Thomas – fire<br />
risk management officer<br />
AS THE summer heats up,<br />
so does the number of calls<br />
our troops are attending.<br />
It’s normal to have about<br />
100 calls in a week.<br />
Weather events, of<br />
course, add to the number.<br />
So the 169 incidents<br />
attended last week can at<br />
least in part be attributed<br />
to the weather, or the heat,<br />
to be more precise.<br />
A large number of false<br />
alarms, presumably from<br />
fire detection systems<br />
drooping and a large number<br />
of ambulance assists<br />
including, unfortunately,<br />
several sudden deaths,<br />
added to the list.<br />
Also we attended far too<br />
many grass and skip or bin<br />
fires.<br />
While a few of these are<br />
the result of accidents most<br />
of them were lit deliberately.<br />
Whether it be kids<br />
playing or malicious firestarters,<br />
the dry conditions<br />
make all of these potentially<br />
serious.<br />
The Governors Bay crew<br />
were called to the local<br />
hotel on <strong>December</strong> 2 to<br />
what turned out to be a<br />
patron puffing on a vaping<br />
cigarette.<br />
It’s a first for me to see<br />
this but hardly surprising.<br />
I followed a car the other<br />
day with two people both<br />
vaping and both front<br />
windows open.<br />
The clouds of vapour<br />
they were seemingly<br />

Miracle weight loss fruit<br />
An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit<br />
called Garcinia Cambogia from India &<br />
Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight<br />
management & overall health. In fact many<br />
have found it to increase fat loss by 2 to 3<br />
times greater than normal. T.V. Dr. Oz has<br />
said it is the most effective & fastest working<br />
natural supplement to support weight loss.<br />
Even without exercise & diet changes<br />
many have found it beneficial, although even<br />
better & quicker results are often obtained<br />
with extra exercise & an improved diet.<br />
The extract of this amazing fruit is called<br />
Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax.<br />
Research has shown HCA to help suppress<br />
the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for<br />
longer, increase energy levels, help prevent<br />
fat from being made & stored in the body,<br />
increase lean muscle mass, increase<br />
serotonin levels in the brain that<br />
help control mood & sleep<br />
(great for emotional eaters),<br />
improve cholesterol levels<br />
that may help reduce<br />
the chances of strokes<br />
& cardiovascular<br />
disease, help prevent<br />
sugar spikes as well<br />
as other health<br />
benefits.<br />
It is considered<br />
a very safe<br />
supplement<br />
(although check first<br />
if you are on medication)<br />
as it has been used for centuries<br />
as a flavouring agent & digestive aid.<br />
To obtain reliable results it is important<br />
SUPER CitriMax<br />
CLINICAL STRENGTH GARCINIA CAMBOGIA<br />
According to Dr. Oz an extract of Garcinia Cambogia, (a small<br />
pumpkin-like fruit) called CitriMax is the most effective & fastest<br />
working natural supplement to support weight loss. However<br />
it is only the clinically researched Super CitriMax that contains a<br />
special blend that offers superior absorption & proven<br />
results compared to other non-Super CitriMax brands.<br />
CliniCAlly SHOwn tO:<br />
• Helps stop fat being made & stored in the body<br />
• Suppresses appetite & cravings. Feel fuller for longer<br />
• Increases energy levels & lean muscle mass<br />
• Increases Serotonin levels in the brain, especially good for<br />
emotional eaters. Serotonin may also improve mood & sleep.<br />
• Improves cholesterol & blood lipid levels<br />
Swanson Super CitriMax is a unique patented extract that<br />
is highly bio-available & clinically proven for reliable results.<br />
to take a product that contains a<br />
standardized extract of 60% HCA & also<br />
take the recommended amount as used in<br />
the clinical research. Some supplements also<br />
contain ChromeMate, a well-researched<br />
form of niacin-bound chromium to help<br />
improve the results even more.<br />

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />
Skin Rejuvenator<br />
Until Rachel<br />
Hunter’s popular<br />
TV series “TOUR<br />
OF BEAUTY” Dilo<br />
Oil was relatively<br />
unknown, being one<br />
of the best-kept secrets<br />
of the Pacific Islands. It<br />
may however be the number<br />
one natural beauty oil available<br />
as it possesses powerful natural skin<br />
regeneration and healing properties.<br />
According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo)<br />
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />
it is one of the most effective agents<br />
in promoting the regeneration and<br />
formation of new tissue, thereby<br />
accelerating wound healing and<br />
the growth of healthy skin. Dilo<br />
Oil is super-absorbing and can<br />
penetrate all three layers of the<br />
skin, offering exceptional cell<br />
hydration and regeneration.<br />
As well as this, Dilo Oil has<br />
potent anti-inflammatory,<br />
antimicrobial, antifungal and<br />
antioxidant properties.<br />
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />
skin young and youthful and for just about<br />
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />
for which it is considered helpful include<br />
abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and<br />
acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch<br />
marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including<br />
chemical and radiation), diabetic sores,<br />
rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin,<br />
ARE YOU READY<br />
TO DOWNSIZE?<br />
Paying rates for a house that’s<br />
too big? Paying maintenance and<br />
heating costs for space you don’t use?<br />
A move to one of our<br />
architecturally designed villas<br />
at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in<br />
Geraldine will cut those costs.<br />
Three villas are available for<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
CHRISTMAS HAM ON THE BONE GLAZED WITH PINEAPPLE<br />
Ingredients<br />
4kg ham on the bone<br />
1 cup canned crushed pineapple,<br />
drained<br />
1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed<br />
1 tsp ground ginger<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg<br />
C. Run a knife around the shank<br />
end of the ham. Carefully slice<br />
under the edge of the rind at the<br />
base of the ham. Use your fingers<br />
to ease between the rind and the<br />
fat. Pull to gently remove the<br />
rind. With a sharp knife, score<br />
the fat with 3mm-deep cuts in a<br />
diamond pattern. Place ham in a<br />
foil-lined oven pan large enough<br />
to catch any glaze that drips as it<br />
cooks. Surround ham with one<br />
cup cold water.<br />
Drain pineapple and combine<br />
with glaze ingredients in a bowl.<br />
Smear glaze over scored fat of<br />
ham.<br />
Bake ham for 40-45min,<br />
basting at regular intervals until<br />
the glaze has caramelised to a<br />
golden brown.<br />
Rest the baked ham for at least<br />
15min before carving. Sliced ham<br />
can either be served hot or at<br />
room temperature.<br />
ROSE PETAL MERINGUE WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE<br />
Ingredients<br />
5 eggs<br />
300g caster sugar<br />
1 Tbsp cornflour<br />
1 Tbsp dried rose petals<br />
300 ml cream<br />
250g blueberries<br />
250g raspberries<br />
1 lime<br />
250g strawberries<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 200 deg C<br />
and line a flat baking sheet with<br />
non-stick baking paper. Using<br />
an electric beater, whip the egg<br />
whites until firm, then whisk in<br />
the sugar. Fold in the cornflour<br />
and rose petals and place large<br />
spoonfuls of the mixture onto<br />
the baking sheet. Bake for 40-<br />
45min.<br />
When the meringue tops are<br />
crisp, remove them from the<br />
oven and leave to cool. For the<br />
sauce, puree the strawberries<br />
and lime juice in a blender. If the<br />
flavour is too sharp, add a little<br />
icing sugar.<br />
Whip the cream until it looks<br />
soft. Mix the berries in a bowl.<br />
Place a meringue on each plate<br />
with a pile of cream next to it,<br />
and pour over the sauce and<br />
berries<br />

Time to check your tyres before<br />
heading away on holiday<br />
As the holidays approach and plans are<br />
made for summer road trips, now is the<br />
time to check that your tyres are in good<br />
condition, says Julie Hurst of JCM Direct,<br />
the tyre specialists in Birmingham Drive.<br />
Julie and her husband Athol own the<br />
business, with Julie running it on a dayto-day<br />
basis.<br />
Now that WOFs on later model vehicles<br />
are issued every <strong>12</strong> months, drivers may<br />
be unaware that their tyres are becoming<br />
worn, Julie says.<br />
“Come in and see us. We offer free tyre<br />
checks, so you can head away on holiday<br />
knowing they are roadworthy and your<br />
family is safe.”<br />
If tyres do need replacing, JCM Direct<br />
offers a wide variety of quality brands at<br />
very competitive prices. They have new<br />
tyres for everything from cars, vans and<br />
4WDs, to caravans, ride-on mowers,<br />
wheelbarrows and trailers. As well as an<br />
excellent selection of quality second-hand<br />
tyres for most vehicles, they hold a vast<br />
selection of 4WD tyres in stock.<br />
JCM Direct also offer puncture repairs,<br />
supply and fitting of new and secondhand<br />
alloy wheels, wheel alignments,<br />
replacement factory steel rims and rim<br />
repairs.<br />
“We also specialise in old rims from<br />
the 1930s to 1970s for people with older<br />
caravans and trailers – the modern rims<br />
won’t fit those,” Julie says.<br />
Finance is available with Q Card or<br />
Farmers Card.<br />
JCM Direct is located on the corner<br />
of Birmingham Drive and Hands Road.<br />
They are open Monday to Friday, 9.30am-<br />
5pm and Saturday 9.30am-1pm. Phone<br />

Public Notice<br />
Is your property<br />
safe from fire?<br />
Here’s a guide to help understand<br />
the risk in your area<br />
During the fire season, there are some risks you need to know about to help keep you,<br />
your family and your property safe.<br />
Throughout New Zealand, there are different levels of risk, depending on where you<br />
live and what the area around you is like. As we build more and more homes in<br />
previously rural areas, the level of risk is different to properties built in a more urban<br />
setting. Make sure you check your property and are aware of your surroundings so<br />
you can be best prepared this fire season.<br />
Steps you need to take to keep your property safe<br />
1<br />
2<br />
3<br />
Make sure you have a ‘safe zone’ around your property<br />
- Clear vegetation close to your home. This could fuel a fire if one started.<br />
- Choose plants with low flammability – native plants are often better.<br />
- Keep your lawns mowed and green.<br />
- Don’t store firewood close to the house.<br />
- Clear your gutters of dry leaves.<br />
- Be careful when using any mechanical equipment in dry conditions.<br />
Have an escape plan and an agreed safe meeting place<br />
- Go to www.escapeplanner.co.nz to make a plan to get out of your<br />
home safely and agree a safe meeting place. Practise this regularly.<br />
- Think about where you will meet if you need to evacuate the area.<br />
- Have an emergency evacuation kit in case you need to leave quickly.<br />
- If in doubt, leave early.<br />
Good access for firefighters<br />
- Fire trucks need a lot of space to manoeuvre. Make sure there are no<br />
overgrown trees or other obstacles that may prevent access to your<br />
property.<br />
- We can pump from water supplies such as a pond, pool or tank.<br />
- Make sure your address or RAPID number is clearly visible.<br />
The fire risk applies to everyone, no matter where you live.<br />

ALI HARPER CELEBRATES<br />
THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS<br />
AWARD winning entertainer - Ali Harper - is<br />
once again bringing some Christmas Joy to<br />
Canterbury. Aer her sold out Christmas Joy<br />
shows last year, Ali has put together another<br />
beautifully festive concert incorporating the<br />
Voices Co Youth Ensemble along with winner<br />
of TVNZ’s Naked Choir and founder of Voices<br />
Co, Julian Hay on piano.<br />
“I adore this time of year. Not only because<br />
I see it through the eyes of my children but<br />
because it’s a special time to reflect on the past<br />
year, the joys and the challenges. I have<br />
created a concert that will include the angelic<br />
voices of children singing which is both pure<br />
and for me what Christmas is all about.”<br />
In a career spanning 25 years, Ali has<br />
starred in numerous musicals and plays across<br />

actress, with an all-enveloping voice that can<br />
take us with her no matter what she sings, is a<br />
further extension of the celebration of song that<br />
Ali offers.” - Lindsay Clark, eatreview<br />
