A SOLUTION has still not been
found to eradicate Bromley’s
midge plague.
A meeting was held on August
7 between city council staff and
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board members
aimed at finding a solution.
The city council has
spent $800,000 over two
years unsuccessfully
trying to fix the midge problem
from the wastewater plant.
Nearby residents say they have
had enough of putting up with
midges over the years.
But a veil of silence remains
from the city council about what
has emerged from the August 7
meeting.
Community board member
Linda Stewart said her solution
– adding UV protection – was
discussed but won’t elaborate on
other possibilities.
Accredited installers 10yr workmanship guarantee 6 yr warranty
City councillor Glenn
Livingstone refused to discuss
the matter with Pegasus Post,
saying:
“It’s a complex matter and not
easily resolved and it’s better
if we assemble as much
information as possible
before putting it out there.”
Ms Stewart (left) said her
solution would work.
“This should’ve been put
in place 20 years ago.”
She said in the late 1990s, the
South New Brighton Residents’
Association fought hard for UV
protection. But city council staff
said it would only be added if
needed.
The cost has now increased
from less than $5 million in the
late 1990s to an estimated $23
million, she said.
But Ms Stewart said UV
protection takes time, time
residents don’t have with warmer
weather around the corner.

News......................................3-6
YOU’VE GOT to feel for those
people living near the wastewater
plant in Bromley.
There doesn’t seem to be a solution
in sight to sort the midges out
(see page 1).
Nearby residents have been
plagued with them for years and attempts
by te city council to eradicate
them have not worked.
There was a meeting between
community board members and
city council staff earlier this month
to discuss solutions.
But, as usual, they aren’t saying
anything publicly. The meeting was
held behind closed doors.
A board member Linda Stewart
suggested UV treatment. That looks
seriously costly now and it’s a slow
burner sort of treatment. With the
warmer weather about to hit, the
midges will soon be back in force.
But what residents and the public
need to know is what’s going on.

Residents get personal
apology from KiwiRail
Fashion
• By Sarla Donovan
KIWIRAIL HAS met and
apologised in person to
Heathcote Valley property
owners with fences and
structures on the rail corridor.
It’s also going to visit each
owner in person, to ascertain
Gardening
how they are using the land.
About 50 Heathcote residents
were shocked earlier this year
when they received a letter from
KiwiRail saying they needed a
“licence to occupy” the company’s
land at an annual rate of
$350 a year with a yearly increase
of two per cent. The alternative
was to remove any private struc-

tures on the land.
David Gordon, on behalf of
KiwiRail, apologised in person
at a meeting organised by Port
Hills MP Ruth Dyson.
He told affected residents that
even though KiwiRail wanted
to formalise the fact that their
land was being used by people,
they were not going to have the
Tasty Bites
“licence to occupy” requirement
or the $350 per annum cost.
Ms Dyson said the residents

Mr Gordon acknowledged
the “overwhelming majority” of
residents did an excellent job of
keeping the grass tidy, and also
protected against fires “which
KiwiRail didn’t do on their side
of the tracks.”
The company was determined
to do a better job in the future,
Mr Gordon said, particularly in
light of the number of fires in the
area over the last 12 months.
Each individual property

would be visited to “get a better
understanding of what the residents
are doing in regard to their
use of the property and in order
to keep the land tidy,” he said.
Ms Dyson said she was really
pleased at the outcome.
“It shows a willingness from
KiwiRail to remedy what was
an unacceptable situation, front
with an apology and work on
a satisfactory outcome for the
future.”
Call for police station
to stay open longer
• Sophie Cornish
A CALL is being made for the
New Brighton Police Station to
be open on Saturdays.
The Coastal-Burwood
Communtiy Board has asked
police chiefs to open the Seaview
Rd station on Saturday morning.
The move is being backed by
New Brighton Business and
Landowners Association’s Paul
Lonsdale.
“There are concerns by businesses
that there has been an
increase of shop theft lately and
we have been in talks with police
on how to mitigate those issues
and find solutions,” he said.
Community board member
and city councillor David East
said police also needed to consider
opening longer on weekdays
than its current 9am-4pm.
City councillor Glenn Livingstone
said with the new
beachside playground and salt
water hot pools, increased police
presence in the area would be
beneficial.
“Having them on site would
make a lot more sense.”
Currently police are required
to come from Papanui for callouts
to eastern suburbs during
the weekends.

Smoke alarms need
to stay on the ceilings
ashion
• By Mark Thomas - Specialist fire
investigator
WE HAD a fatal fire in
Christchurch last week.
So it was not the best week in
our office.
Part of what we do is to
constantly strive to prevent such
Gardening
things happening by ensuring
people have smoke alarms and
escape plans.
In the tragic loss in Cashel St
(right) there were some smoke
alarms.
They were correctly installed
but we don’t know if they had
been maintained.
The last one, still sounding
otoring
when firefighters entered, was the bedroom where the occupant
was found.
But this one wasn’t on the
ceiling where the backing plate
remained.
It had been brought down too
low to give adequate warning.
Had the alarm just been left on

fires last week.
At two of the four events,
people ended up needing
ambulance attention for smoke
inhalation.
Nearly always this is because
they have left the kitchen and
the cooking unattended and
returned to fire and smoke.
Then they desperately try to fix
a situation that is beyond them.
Stay in the kitchen!
Most cooking fires will be controllable
but only if you’re there
when they start.
There was a slightly odd fire
cause in Woolston on August
12 where a low sun through
the window reflected off a
magnifying mirror causing
curtains to start smoking.
This happens occasionally.
However, it’s one of those
things that most of us would
never consider.
Call for nominations
for road trauma awards
ORGANISATIONS and people
who deal with road accidents
will be recognised for their
work.
The Canterbury Road Trauma
Awards will be held at the Road
Accident Remembrance Day at
North Hagley Park on Saturday,
November 4.
Nominations for the awards
are now being called for.
Road Traffic Accident Trauma
Charitable Trust spokeswoman,
Sarah Dean, said the effects of
road trauma extends far beyond
the victims involved in the
initial incident.
The awards are seen as recognition
and acknowledgement of
this, she said.
There are three award
categories, Canterbury road
trauma award for public
service, trauma prevention and
community service.
The public service award will
be for outstanding individuals,
teams or organisations, who
will receive recognition for their
service and contribution to the
duty of care for those affected by
road trauma. This award is open
to first responders, industry
professionals from non-profit
organisations and private and
public organisations.
The award for trauma
prevention aims to recognise
winners for their contribution
to road safety, public education,
road trauma prevention
initiatives and duty of care in
Canterbury.
Those members of the community
who have provided care
or support to a road trauma victim
throughout their treatment,
recovery or rehabilitation will
also be recognised through the
community service award.
Nominations can be
made on the Road Traffic

Connor Melton crosses
in second at Hobart race
CASHMERE High’s Connor
Melton finished second in
his event at the Australian
secondary schools cross-country
championships.
He competed in the 8km
under-20 category, which was
held on August 13 in Hobart,
Tasmania, and finished with a
time of 25min flat.
“Right before the race, I just
focused on being relaxed and was
looking forward to running for
New Zealand for the first time,
which has been a goal of mine
for a number of years. However,
it was quite daunting eyeing up
the competition in the warm-up
zone before the race,” Melton, 18,
said.
He was sitting between third
and seventh for most of the race
but showed a burst of speed
in the final kilometre to edge
into second place, 59sec behind
Australian winner Joshua Torley.
“I was happy to be representing
New Zealand for the first time,
and meddling while doing so, it
made it even more special,” he
said.
It was a big improvement on
his showing at the New Zealand
secondary schools cross-country
championships in Christchurch
from June 17-18, where he
finished eighth in the men’s 6km.
GREAT EFFORT: Connor Melton
made his move with about
a kilometre to go, finishing
second in the Australian
secondary schools cross-country
championships.
Melton will now focus on the
upcoming track season and
putting in a solid effort in what
will be his final high school event
at the national secondary schools
athletics champs in December.
Cashmere’s Liliana Braun was
also in Hobart to compete in the
under-18 6km race and came
21st.

“It was disappointing that the

well in a very tight game with
not many chances for both
teams,” he said.
On the school’s Twitter

They will meet either Christ’s
College or Rangiora High who
will play-off in the other semifinal.
That game will also be at
Cashmere High at 7pm.
“We have traditionally been
there or thereabouts in Christchurch
but this team is pushing the
2009 team who were the most
successful boys team ever from
Cashmere,” Sheat said.
With all but one player returning
from last year and most
returning next year, Sheat hoped
the boys can keep the momentum
going for a few years.
“This has definitely been one
of the most enjoyable groups to
coach in terms of their dedication
and commitment,” he said.
Shirley coach Scott Howell said
the round three loss means they
have the underdog status.
Good decisions and limiting
mistakes will be key factors in
beating Cashmere, Howell said.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
RSI, OOS or Gradual Process Injury
can be treated!
What causes OOS? The Department
of Labour states: “One of the
favourable explanations for OOS is
that it is caused by muscles being
held tense or tight for too long.’’
These conditions may be caused
by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions,
vibrations, mechanical compression, or
sustained or awkward positions.
The shorter and tenser the muscle, the
harder it pulls on the places it attaches to
(e.g. the bone). When this happens in the
forearm the pull at those attachments and
tendons causes irritation and inflammation
of those areas. This will be noticed as pain in
the elbow and wrist. When this happens in
the neck and shoulder area, it will be noticed
as local pain, stiffness and sometimes
headaches. The nerves run right through
the muscles. Tension on the muscles causes
pressure on the nerves. As the muscles
shorten, the nerves running through them
have a tendency to both shorten and slide
less well. This causes the nerves to radiate
pain throughout the arm.
Triggerpoints are areas in your muscles,
where a few muscle fibres have contracted
in a knot. These knots (the hard and painful originate in your

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Time Honoured Remedy
Supporting Your
Bowel & Digestive
Function Helps
Prevent Disease
Keeping your digestive system
and bowels functioning efficiently
is definitely an important step in
obtaining and maintaining good
long term health.
It is most important to keep the whole
digestive and elimination systems of the
body working efficiently. Many diseases
have been linked with micro-organisms
(virus) or a bacterial component. We know
that when the digestive system and bowel
function are poor we have many more health
problems. These include arthritis, digestive
problems like reflux and stomach pain,
bladder infections, chronic skin conditions
such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor
eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors
and a weakened immune system just to
name a few.
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a
highly effective blend of natural herbs to
support the whole digestive system and it
is especially effective at cleansing the lower
bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds
and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout,
skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,
urinary infections, liver dysfunction,
Candida, weakened immune function and
for people who want to keep their health as
good as possible.
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the
production of digestive fluids and bile for
efficient digestion. This alone may help
prevent many diseases as a properly working
digestive system will itself neutralise many
disease causing organisms. LBS II also
stimulates peristaltic action of the colon
effectively cleansing the colon of any
accumulated build-ups of waste material.
It also relaxes abdominal cramping and
spasms, enhances liver function, purifies
the blood, neutralizes acidic conditions,
helps destroy intestinal parasites and
worms, and fights infection.
Keeping your digestive system and
bowels functioning efficiently is definitely
an important step in obtaining and
maintaining good long term health.

According to a country Doctor “D.C.
Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider
vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an
important part of a long healthy life. Dr.
Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly
consumed cider vinegar and honey had
excellent health with many putting in a
vigorous day’s work on the farm even when
well into their eighties.
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider
vinegar and honey on arthritis can be
remarkable with many patients reporting
almost total relief after taking a course.
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found
regular administration of cider vinegar and
honey at the onset of complaints such as the

Another resident, David, says “my wife and
chicken pox and measles, was accompanied

Apple cider vinegar contains all the
goodness of the apple in a form that is
readily accepted by the body. Scientists
have found over 90 different substances
in ACV, among them 20 important trace
elements, minerals, essential enzymes, a
number of different acids including malic
acid, amino acids and roughage in the form
of potash and pectin. A scientific study at
the Shizuka University in Japan has proven
ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It

REAL ESTATE
Live an exceptional lifestyle
84 Harts Creek Lane, Clearwater, Harewood
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | Listing # PI48268
Elegant and intelligent design marks this
as a home for an exceptional contemporary
lifestyle. Designed by Architects Plus and
built in 2013, it offers the peace of mind that
comes with post-earthquake construction,
including RibRaft foundation and Celcrete
cladding. Occupying a prime setting, with
lake and golf course views, this tranquil
retreat is just minutes from amenities and
a short stroll from coffee at Clearwater
Resort.
Extensive glazing pulls light and views
into the home, and sliders in the openplan
living ensure seamless flow to a
choice of enticing outdoor entertaining
spaces. Equipped with a six-burner gas
cooktop, butler’s pantry and island bench,
the kitchen will satisfy the most exacting
requirements, while a spacious dining and
casual sitting area, plus additional separate
lounge (with gas fire), offer comfort and
flexibility. Sumptuous fittings in the master
bedroom, ensuite and WIR add everyday
luxury, while an additional downstairs
bedroom with ensuite is ideal for guests.
Three more double bedrooms (or an office/
den option with glorious views to the
mountains) share a smart family bathroom
with under-tile heating. Double internalaccess
garaging plus a generous storage
bay, beautifully landscaped grounds and
a suite of high-spec fittings complete this
impeccable home.
Presented in immaculate condition, this
property invites you to enjoy exceptional
living. The owners have committed to a new
building project and must sell their muchloved
home - don’t miss the opportunity to
make it yours.

Emma’s back!
THAT’S right folks, Emma Palaamo has returned to
the Richmond Club Bistro, and this time she is
running it!
Emma last worked at the Club when her parents
Bev and Steve Palaamo were running the Bistro and
Restaurant pre-EQ.
Unsure of what she wanted to do when she left
school Emma decided to attend university where she
earned a degree in English and Psychology.
“I’ve wondered if I’d ever use my degree, but I love
being in the kitchen. Cooking’s in my blood. It’s what
I’m used to,” said Emma.
Largely trained by her father, Emma said she was
nervous when she was initially offered running the
Bistro.
“My parents have such a good reputation and I don’t
want to let Dad down. The reaction to my menu and
cooking has been great, and regular members are very
happy to see me back.”
With her first few weeks spent gauging what diners
wanted, Emma is confident she has streamlined the
menu to provide a selection to satisfy everyone.
“I’ve listened to what they want and have taken
heed. by bringing back the old with new. I’m also
doing blackboard specials and two course specials, as
well as introducing a Kids’ menu.”
The Club Bistro is open for LUNCH Tuesday to
Sunday (Brunch), for DINNER Wednesday to Sunday
and is also available for private functions.

Kia ora koutou.

Greetings to our
Community.
Last year Linwood
College and a
group based on the East Christchurch
community centres undertook a major
community consultation about our
school. This opportunity to be involved
in the vision for the redevelopment of
Linwood College was whole-heartedly
embraced by the community. Over
1300 people responded with many of
these responses being face-to-face
conversations.
A variety of themes arose out of these
conversations with the dominant being
that:
Linwood College should nurture
personal excellence by providing
varied opportunities to meet
individual needs. The school should
foster a ‘love to learn’ culture that
creates high levels of achievement
and success in ways that are
accessible for all.
This theme drives everything that we
do and at present it is being applied to
how our students select their senior
subjects. Our own LC experience, that
of our families and whãnau and formal
research, all agree that for many
teenagers the process of selecting
subjects becomes more personally
important and meaningful when part
of considering wider career pathways.
This is why LC now calls our Years 7-10
curriculum the ‘Learning Pathway’ and
Years 11-13 the ‘Career Pathway’.
Yes, education is full of jargon but in this
case, there actually are some helpful
phrases that enhance understanding.
Two such terms are Backward
Mapping and UBD, Understanding
by Design. A useful overall summary
sentence is, “Start with the end in mind
and work backwards.” To support this
way of thinking we have redesigned
the Career Pathways booklet and
subsequent processes to link school
subject choices with pathwayunderstanding.
It is about positioning
teenagers to be future-focussed:
thinking ahead, playing to their
strengths and accepting challenges.
Ngã mihi nui to our community as the
positive activity of the year continues. I
am always keen to meet people if any
member of the community wishes to
talk to me about anything. My door is
open.

Last month the Samoan National Fagasa speech
competition was held in Woolston at the EFKS
church. Congratulations to Vai Mariner - 1st equal
for Year 13, Titi Ma Sun - 4th for Year 13 and Gloria
Su'a - 2nd for Year 11. This was an outstanding
result especially considering that they were up
against students from the Auckland and Wellington
regions!

This year in ‘Gateway’ Linwood College students have work experience in a wide
range of industries and have been gaining some valuable skills.
First Aid
Hospitality
Health and Fitness
Year 13 students, Vanessa Franklin, Amber Taylor-
Jones and Tayla Spence receive certificates for
Advanced Customer Services, achieved through the
Gateway programme.
As the newly appointed Performing
Arts teacher, when I first came to
Linwood College I was quick to see
the wonderful talent that our school
had and sought a musical which our
students and families would enjoy.
Settling on a Maverick Musical called,
‘Wolfstock’ (written by Mary McMahan
with music by Donald Woodward),
this was the perfect challenge for our
students.
With time and practice the students
thrived in this environment and the
end product was exciting, funny and
dynamic. I am exceptionally proud of
my students and the effort that they put
in. To all the parents who transported,
waited, got up super early and gathered
costumes - thank you so much! We
could not have done this without your
support. I can't wait for the next one.
Mrs Boyce-Da Cruz
In early July, selected students
were given the opportunity
to attend the annual Christ’s
College Emerging Leaders’
Conference, along with
representatives from many
Canterbury schools. At this
conference many inspirational
speakers told their own
unique stories and passed
on quintessential advice for
Communities of Learning
aspiring young leaders.
Callum Lawson, said that the
day was an inspiration. His
favourite message was from
the speaker Joel Bouzaid, that
leadership is something that
you can own, something that
you can bend and mould to suit
your traits and strengths, so
that you can be the leader you
hope to be.
Callum Lawson
(Year 13)
Linwood College belongs to two Communities of Learning. Tamai is the schools
of Bamford, Bromley, Linwood Avenue, Linwood College, Linwood North,
Tamariki and Te Waka Unua. The other is Aupaki: Heathcote Valley, Linwood
College, Mount Pleasant, Our Lady Star of the Sea, Redcliffs and Sumner.
We are very excited about the rich opportunities that lay ahead for our tamariki
within these learning communities or kãhui ako from early childhood through to
secondary school and beyond for many years to come.
