Opposition to skate park grows<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
NEARLY 600 residents have<br />
signed a petition to stop a skate<br />
park being built at Halswell<br />
Domain.<br />
The Halswell Domain Action<br />
Group presented a petition<br />
signed by 570 residents to the<br />
Riccarton-Wigram Community<br />
Board.<br />
The petition presented by<br />
action group member Wendy<br />
Gilbert said they felt the skate<br />
park had the potential to devalue<br />
properties and could introduce<br />
an element of “anti-social”<br />
behaviour.<br />
A decision on the location<br />
of the skate park will be made<br />
on <strong>July</strong> 27 at an extraordinary<br />
Riccarton-Wigram Community<br />
Board meeting.<br />
Community board chairwoman<br />
Helen Broughton said<br />
she felt the Halswell Domain<br />
hadn’t been explored properly.<br />
She said she is planning to organise<br />
a “walkaround” with action<br />
group member Mrs Gilbert<br />
to look at alternative areas in the<br />
Halswell Domain.<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> has learned that<br />
Halswell Quarry Park may be<br />
suggested as an alternative site.<br />
Another location suggested<br />
from the Halswell skate park<br />
workshop last month was a wetland<br />
area on Halswell Rd.<br />
Halswell Community Project<br />
chairwoman Chrys Horn said<br />
she found the workshop was<br />
“pretty horrible”.<br />
She said the workshop created<br />
more conflict than a safe way for<br />
people to talk about their needs.<br />
Ms Horn said it bothers her<br />
the community board makes the<br />
final decision because they want<br />
to please people.<br />
But community board chairman<br />
Mike Mora said the tension<br />
was expected.<br />
“There is that when the community<br />
wants something when<br />
the other residents don’t,” he said.<br />
Ms Horn said she is not sure<br />
where she would like to see the<br />
skate park go but felt in some<br />
ways Halswell Domain was a<br />
good place.<br />
“To be safe it needs to be in<br />
view of houses. The trouble is<br />
people don’t want to see our<br />
young people for some reason. I<br />
am not sure why,” she said.<br />
Halswell Domain, beside the<br />
playground, Knights Stream<br />
Sports Park, Scott Park and an<br />
area in Westlake Reserve were<br />
originally shortlisted by city<br />
council staff as possible sites.<br />
Mrs Gilbert said the Halswell<br />
Domain Action group was opposed<br />
to the skate park being<br />
close to residential housing and<br />
the compatibility of it with the<br />
playground and miniature railway<br />
area.<br />
The city council says there is<br />
no proposal to remove any play<br />
equipment from Halswell Domain<br />
and the play space could<br />
be increased as part of any final<br />
proposal.<br />

Centre’s celebration<br />
THE REPAIRED Wharenui<br />
Recreation Centre Stadium was<br />
re-opened to the public last<br />
week.<br />
The popular centre, located<br />
next to Wharenui Swimming<br />
Pool, was damaged in the February<br />
2011 earthquake.<br />
It has now been repaired and<br />
strengthened to 100 per cent of<br />
the New Building Standard.<br />
Last week, Deputy Mayor<br />
Vicki Buck officially re-opened<br />
the centre, which now boasts<br />
a colourful Kiwiana-themed<br />
mural on the outside wall.<br />
“I actually had the privilege of<br />
opening the centre back in 1991<br />
as Christchurch mayor, and this<br />
in some ways is more meaningful,”<br />
Ms Buck said.<br />
The Kiwiana-themed mural<br />
was painted by internationallyrenowned<br />
Christchurch-born<br />
street artist Dcypher (aka Guy<br />
Ellis), who returned from the<br />
United States in May to create<br />
art work.<br />
“It looks amazing, and adds<br />
a real burst of colour that we’re<br />
thankfully starting to see more<br />
of around the city,” Ms Buck<br />
said.<br />
The re-opening of the centre<br />
was marked with speeches, a<br />
waiata from pupils of Wharenui<br />
School, and a basketball game<br />
on the revamped court.<br />
Before its closure, the centre<br />
was a popular location for the<br />
public and pupils from local<br />
schools. It was used for basketball,<br />
exercise classes, badminton<br />
and martial arts.<br />
Wharenui Recreation Centre<br />
Stadium is available for bookings<br />
from Monday, <strong>July</strong> 11.<br />

had 7, Fendalton had 4, and<br />
Russley had 0.<br />
BUS LOUNGE OPENED<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />
global issues<br />
United Nations<br />
Youth NZ member<br />
and Canterbury<br />
University student<br />
Ashley Stuart, 19,<br />
talks about issues<br />
that need to be<br />
addressed with youth in the<br />
Ilam community<br />
Being part of the United Nations<br />
Youth New Zealand organisation<br />
offers many opportunities for me to<br />
educate and inspire young people on<br />
the global issues our world faces.<br />
In the Canterbury region, UN<br />
Youth particularly focuses on high<br />
school students as there doesn’t seem<br />
to be as much interest among the university<br />
students in the Ilam area.<br />
An issue that I see becoming more<br />
present within the Ilam area among<br />
youth is a lack of knowledge about the<br />
international community and where<br />
New Zealand stands within all of the<br />
international institutions we are a part<br />
of.<br />
This is an issue because as the world<br />
becomes more globalised and New<br />
Zealand is a signatory to international<br />
treaties and trade agreements, such as<br />
the TPP, it is becoming more important<br />
to have youth voice heard on what<br />
we want the international community<br />
to look like in the future.<br />
University students in the Ilam area<br />
are mostly all eligible to vote which<br />
means they have the ability to select<br />
a Government where they feel their<br />
voices are heard.<br />
The lack of understanding of New<br />
Zealand’s position on an international<br />
stage is an issue because many of the<br />
negotiations New Zealand are having<br />
are with members from the international<br />
community which effect New<br />
Zealand citizens directly.<br />
We need to go above awareness of<br />
global issues and begin understanding<br />
their meaning and their implications<br />
on New Zealand, only then can we<br />
start making a difference on a regional,<br />
national and international level.<br />

A reader responds to the <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> article on the Wishbone cafe<br />
at Te Hapua: Halswell Centre getting<br />
boycotted:<br />
Bill Dengel, of Halswell – Your recent<br />
report that a boycott organised by the<br />
pretentiously-labelled Halswell Community<br />
Project has successfully driven out the<br />
proprietors of the Wishbone Cafe in the Te<br />
Hapua:Halswell Centre appals me.<br />
It’s fair to assume that the cafe owners are<br />
ordinary, decent citizens attempting nothing<br />
more than to earn an honest living. The<br />
young ladies serving in the cafe are, presumably,<br />
local girls, and consequently will now be<br />
out of a job.<br />
And, were not the proprietors appointed<br />
by the city council, so why not run a boycott<br />
against them? Or was that not sufficiently<br />
headline-grabbing?<br />
Whatever, thanks to the lead taken by the<br />
HCP and their misguided, mean-spirited supporters,<br />
the Wishbone cafe supporters have<br />
cried “enough.”<br />
One can only sympathise with them and try<br />
to reassure them that we’re not all like that.<br />
A reader responds to the <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> article on car theft in Halswell:<br />
Jacinta Houston – I have lived in<br />
Halswell on the Park subdivision for 18<br />
months.<br />
During the last six months we have had<br />
three motor vehicles broken into.<br />
The first incident was the smashing of the<br />
front passenger side window of a friend’s<br />
car – parked in front of our house – nothing<br />
stolen.<br />
Second was my father’s car which was<br />
parked in the drive-way, the small triangular<br />
window was smashed – stole his wallet and<br />
mobile phone which he has forgotten to<br />
remove from the glovebox (cards found in<br />
Halswell Park).<br />
Third was my car, again they smashed the<br />
small triangular window in the back – nothing<br />
stolen.<br />
Annoying for all involved, especially having<br />
to wait on repairs – my friend had to have the<br />
window for his Jeep sent from United States.<br />
All were reported to the police. I did comment<br />
to police (after third incident) that I had<br />
never seen a police patrol in the area, though<br />
we do see Mr Whippy on a weekly basis.<br />

St Thomas old boy off to Rio<br />
• Gordon Findlater<br />
NATHAN FLANNERY was<br />
holidaying with friends in Bali<br />
when he received a text from<br />
Rowing New Zealand chief<br />
executive Simon Peterson telling<br />
him they needed to talk.<br />
A conversation over the<br />
phone revealed that Flannery’s<br />
dreams of competing in the Rio<br />
de Janeiro Olympics could still<br />
be alive after learning that the<br />
Russian men’s quad team were<br />
under investigation fer alleged<br />
doping.<br />
“I came home straightaway. I<br />
got the first flight back to New<br />
Zealand and we got straight<br />
back into training,” Flannery<br />
said.<br />
The New Zealand quad<br />
team missed out on automatic<br />
qualification at the 2015 World<br />
Rowing Championships in<br />
Aiguebelette, France, by 0.<strong>05</strong><br />
seconds.<br />
A last chance qualifying regatta<br />
in Lucerne was the team’s<br />
final opportunity to book a spot<br />
in Rio. However, with just two<br />
spots available, a third place finish<br />
behind Canada and Russia<br />
meant the team’s Olympic hopes<br />
were over.<br />
Not knowing their fate for<br />
almost two weeks while they<br />
waited for news on whether<br />
the Russian crew would be<br />
excluded from the games, the<br />
team continued to train until an<br />
announcement was made.<br />
With a decision coming last<br />
Friday, it’s now full steam ahead<br />
to Rio.<br />
“The plan has definitely<br />
changed because we missed four<br />
weeks of preparation. We have<br />
a plan, though, to get us in the<br />
best shape possible.<br />
“We’ve lost a bit of fitness but<br />
we’re confident we can get back<br />
in form.”<br />
Flannery grew up in Halswell,<br />
attending Oakland Primary<br />
School before beginning his<br />
rowing career at St Thomas’ of<br />
Canterbury College.<br />
He was part of the rowing<br />
programme from 2007-2010,<br />
competing in single scull, double,<br />
quad and the four.<br />
The highlight of his time at<br />
St Thomas’ was winning the<br />
under-18 quad at the Maadi<br />
Cup, the school’s first national<br />
gold title.<br />
Flannery then went on to<br />
be named in the New Zealand<br />
under-19 team to compete at the<br />
Junior World Rowing Championships<br />
in the Czech Republic,<br />
finishing third in the quad.<br />
In 2012, a stint in double<br />
sculls saw Flannery win gold<br />
at the World Rowing Under-23<br />
Championships in Lithuania.<br />
In 2013, he moved into the<br />

event at the New Zealand<br />
Rowing Championships<br />
in March. <br />
men’s elite quad team, and they<br />
won silver at the 2013 World<br />
Rowing Cup in Sydney. Flannery<br />
describes the quad team’s<br />
first couple of years together as<br />
challenging.<br />
“2013 was pretty disastrous,<br />
we learned a lot. 2014 was pretty<br />
disastrous as well and we did<br />
some more learning.”<br />
In 2015, Flannery’s had his<br />
most challenging year as a rower.<br />
He suffered glandular fever in<br />
late 2014 and was unable to get<br />
himself into a boat for six weeks.<br />
Not part of the quad team at<br />
the 2015 World Rowing Championships,<br />
Flannery was able to<br />
get himself back into the team<br />

teaming up with a 21-year-old<br />
entrepreneur’s company to help<br />
students into tertiary education.<br />
Crimson Consulting, the company<br />
set up by then 18-year-old<br />
Jamie Beaton, will be sending one<br />
of its tutors to Rangi as a full-time<br />
“career pathway strategist”.<br />
The young Harvard graduate’s<br />
business was valued at $60 million<br />
earlier this year after acquiring<br />
numerous smaller educational<br />
consultancies.<br />
Mr Beaton started the company<br />
in 2013 with his girlfriend Shandre<br />
Kushor, also 18 at the time, and<br />
soon attracted investment from US<br />
billionaires.<br />
His share of the education<br />
consultancy is now worth $40.5<br />
million.<br />
Mr Beaton’s fellow Harvard<br />
graduate Wen Qiu will be joining<br />
the school as part of a new partnership<br />
between the college and the<br />
company.<br />
Rangi Ruru principal Dr Sandra<br />
Hastie says this collaboration<br />
is about assisting students with<br />
career plans and “connecting them<br />
with information”.<br />

Judge for wine awards<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
NEW WORLD Wigram<br />
liquor manager Cameron<br />
Lovell will help judge the<br />
supermarket chain’s wine<br />
awards.<br />
Mr Lovell will be working<br />
alongside a panel of 13 expert<br />
wine judges chaired by wine<br />
judge Jim Harre.<br />
Associate judges will be<br />
tasting up to 120 wines a day<br />
during the judging.<br />
Mr Lovell said he was<br />
excited to be judging at the<br />
competition and is looking<br />
forward to picking up “key”<br />
wine knowledge to pass onto<br />
customers at New World<br />
Wigram.<br />
“I think it is good to have<br />
the wine awards – it shows<br />
customers we have been<br />
working to get the best wine,”<br />
Mr Lovell said.<br />
Prior to working as a liquor<br />
manager, Mr Lovell had<br />
been working in the grocery<br />
department for the past eight<br />
years and was previously<br />
a grocery manager at New<br />
World Stanmore.<br />
However, this will not be his<br />
first time taste-testing some<br />
of the countries’ best wine.<br />
Earlier this year, Mr Lovell<br />
attended an internal selection<br />
at Omarino Wine Park for<br />
liquor managers from around<br />
the South Island looking to<br />
judge at the New World Wine<br />
Awards.<br />
At the selection,<br />
independent wine judging<br />
panel Jim Harre and Sam Kim<br />
took the delegates through<br />
how to taste the wine before<br />
they did a mock judging.<br />
The delegates with the<br />
scores that most closely<br />
matched the judge’s scores<br />
were selected as associate<br />
judges.<br />
A Foodstuffs spokesman<br />
said the experience the<br />
associate judges receive will be<br />
“invaluable” for selecting wine<br />
for their supermarkets as well<br />
as assisting customers with<br />
questions about wine.<br />
Last year the competition<br />
had 1309 wines entered from<br />
185 wineries.<br />
Mr Lovell said said he<br />
cannot think of a single<br />
wine he does not like but his<br />
favourite is pinot noir.<br />

Isabella Garbett<br />
Making sure the<br />
HIGH ACHIEVER: Isabella Garbett was recently recognised at<br />
the Canterbury Youth Awards. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
St Andrew’s College student Isabella Garbett, 17, was recognised at the<br />
Canterbury Youth Awards for helping give young people a voice. She<br />
spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding about engaging with the youth of the<br />
city, her views on gender inequality and the time she spends feeding the<br />
homeless every Sunday.<br />
How does it feel to have<br />
been awarded the Advocate<br />
Inclusion and Diversity Award<br />
at the Canterbury Youth<br />
Awards last week?<br />
I was quite surprised. Aside<br />
from that, I am so incredibly<br />
humbled because the people I<br />
was up against do some incredible<br />
things. So good, but at the<br />
same time I wish everyone could<br />
be recognised for the awesome<br />
things they have done.<br />
This award is about ensuring<br />
young people have a voice.<br />
Could you tell me about some<br />
of the things you do to ensure<br />
this happens in the city?<br />
Primarily what I do outside of<br />
school is volunteer for New Zealand<br />
Red Cross project, Bounce. It<br />
came about after the earthquake<br />
and it is centred around creating<br />
a space for young people to talk<br />
about well-being and gearing them<br />
up with some tips to deal with<br />
tough times. It is run by young<br />
people for young people. I came<br />
in when they were starting to<br />
re-brand. It is about finding ways<br />
to engage people. A lot of people<br />
don’t want to read a text book.<br />
It’s targeted at people aged 12-24.<br />
In school, I am also the head of<br />
community service, the sustainability<br />
council, the student council<br />
and head of debating.<br />
But that’s not all you are doing.<br />
Are you an advocate for<br />
women’s rights as well?<br />
Most things I do with a feminist<br />
lens. There is a real trend<br />
with year 9-11 students where<br />
they are quite apathetic to a lot of<br />
women’s issues. (Men and women)<br />
might be equal in the eyes of<br />
the law, but we are not equal in<br />
the eyes of society. It is important<br />
to me when that younger<br />
generation comes through that<br />
they don’t forget about where we<br />
have come from and we have a<br />
good appreciation of women and<br />
their places in society. But feminism<br />
isn’t just about women – it<br />
affects men, too.<br />
What did you think of the<br />
whole Hornby High School<br />
skirt debacle last week?<br />
That is just another classic<br />
example of ridiculous doublestandards.<br />
Because when you<br />
tell girls that they need to wear<br />
longer skirts because they are<br />
distracting male teachers or male<br />
students, you are telling a boy<br />
he is more entitled to education<br />
than a girl is – and that is just not<br />
the case. A lot of the time people<br />
don’t think about what they are<br />
saying and how it translates. I<br />
know the school’s response was<br />
that it was not what they were<br />
quite trying to say, but as soon as<br />
you start saying those messages<br />
it is really harmful.<br />
Is there inequality in the city?<br />
Yes, it is not horrific, but New<br />
Zealand on a whole has quite<br />
an interesting culture in terms<br />
of gender inequality. Even with<br />
young boys and the messages we<br />
give them – that they have got<br />
to be strong, don’t cry – that is<br />
harmful. It is about ensuring both<br />
genders are given equal opportunity.<br />
We have horrendous domestic<br />
violence, rape, sexual violence.<br />
We have got bad suicide stats in<br />
New Zealand as a whole.<br />

young have a voice<br />
And you have made a major<br />
contribution to the homeless?<br />
Our school has a relationship<br />
with this taxi driver called<br />
Daniel, who runs a feeding the<br />
homeless thing every Sunday at<br />
Latimer Square. I started doing<br />
that in year 10. I like to give back<br />
when I can. Over time I have<br />
built up some cool relationships<br />
with the people (involved).<br />
Being able to understand why<br />
the homeless are where they<br />
are, and what is going on in<br />
their lives, is like building a<br />
friendship.<br />
Tell me about some of the<br />
most interesting people you<br />
have met?<br />
I met someone the other day<br />
who has been out of prison for<br />
five years. He is now working<br />
with more recently released<br />
prisoners to help them deal with<br />
getting out of prison. There was<br />
another guy, I’m not sure what his<br />
background was, but he sleeps on<br />
the street. He is one of the nicest<br />
people I have ever met. He keeps<br />
the order (in Latimer Square),<br />
makes sure everyone stands in a<br />
line and the kids get fed first. He<br />
is the last to come up and that is<br />
really humbling to see.<br />
What is it like seeing people<br />
your own age and even younger<br />
in that situation?<br />
It breaks my heart. I do the<br />
things I do because I have an<br />
education and opportunity,<br />
which means I will be able to go<br />
somewhere. It is people like that<br />
who keep me in check.<br />
You are in your last year of<br />
school. What do you want to do<br />
next year?<br />
I want to go to Victoria University<br />
of Wellington. I want<br />
to do a law degree and major<br />
in gender studies and history and<br />
do a Bachelor of Arts.<br />
What is your big dream?<br />
I want to end up running an<br />
aid organisation. I want to focus<br />
on women’s issues. I would love<br />
to do something in first-world<br />
countries in the lower-social<br />
economic areas. Then, after that,<br />
I want to go to Africa. I have got<br />
a teacher who taught in Uganda.<br />
I would love to do something<br />
like that. It is going to be a lot<br />
of work, but hopefully I am in a<br />
situation raising the awareness of<br />
people who are in the positions<br />
of power. Also enabling those<br />
who aren’t in power to get to<br />
where they want to be.<br />

Show with Pablo,<br />
mascot for the<br />

project, Bounce<br />
Do you have any other<br />
hobbies in your spare time?<br />
I play four instruments and<br />
I sing. Violin, piano, guitar<br />
and viola. I love playing in the<br />
school orchestra. Aside from<br />
that, I hang out with my friends.<br />
I would not be anywhere near<br />
where I am today if it was not<br />
for my friends and family. I am<br />
really lucky to have people who<br />
challenge me to think more<br />
critically. I have two younger<br />
brothers and my grandmother<br />
also lives with us. I love them<br />
dearly.<br />
Old timber<br />
saves<br />
historic bridge<br />
RECLAIMED Australian<br />
hardwood timber is<br />
breathing new life into one of<br />
Christchurch’s oldest bridges.<br />
Helmores Lane Bridge, the<br />
city’s only surviving 19th-century<br />
timber bridge, will live longer<br />
with the help of timber salvaged<br />
from two Waitaki River bridges<br />
built in 1881.<br />
Repairs will take about five<br />
months before the bridge can<br />
be opened to pedestrians and<br />
cyclists.<br />
Thirty bridge piles, made<br />
of the Australian hardwood,<br />
Jarrah, were brought from the<br />
Waitaki District Council for the<br />
cost of a donation.<br />
It was a lot less expensive than<br />
importing new hardwood from<br />
Australia for the earthquake<br />
repairs.<br />
Using re-claimed timber fits<br />
the conservation practice of<br />
sourcing material as close as<br />
possible to the original for the<br />
repair and restoration of heritage<br />
structures.<br />
Helmores Lane Bridge is listed<br />
with Heritage New Zealand and<br />
is the only remaining example<br />
of a propped-beam timber<br />
bridge in Christchurch.<br />
While the bridge has been<br />
repaired and widened, about 80<br />
per cent of the original timber<br />
frame remains.<br />
The original 17m bridge now<br />
requires new access ways.

Fundraiser nets over $700<br />
HORNBY HIGH School students<br />
have given their time to help the<br />
Cancer Society as part of a Project<br />
K challenge.<br />
Project K is part of the Graeme<br />
Dingle youth programme to help<br />

AN AREA of Willowbank Wildlife<br />
Reserve’s takahē enclosure has been<br />
revitalised thanks to the work of<br />
Riccarton High School students and<br />
Canterbury University’s student<br />
volunteer army.<br />
In a few hours the students<br />
had transformed the enclosure in<br />
Northwood after taking on the restoration<br />
project as part of the SVA’s<br />
UCan volunteer programme.<br />
The UCan programme encourages<br />
secondary students to become<br />
leaders in their community through<br />
volunteering and being mentored<br />
by SVA members.<br />
About 35 year 10 students from<br />
schools across the city including<br />
Riccarton High School took part in<br />
the event last week.<br />
The group soon got to work clearing<br />
the areas before planting young<br />
native trees and grasses.<br />
At the end of the morning’s<br />
work, the students were treated to<br />
lunch by the SVA as well as the opportunity<br />
to see one of Willowbank<br />
Wildlife Reserve’s kiwis up close.<br />
something to them – whether it is<br />
through labour, a gift of equipment<br />
or money.<br />
Graeme Dingle Foundation Canterbury<br />
regional manager Noeline<br />
Allan said a lot of students wanted<br />
to help the Cancer Society due to<br />
many having their family members<br />
affected by the disease.<br />
The students set up a bucket<br />
collection at The Hub Hornby mall<br />
and raised $704.90.<br />
Cancer Society representative<br />
Emily Box said the funds would<br />
be used to support the costs<br />
of transporting three people to<br />
chemotherapy for five weeks.<br />
The students have now been<br />
teamed up with their adult mentors<br />
who will work with them over the<br />
next 12 months and will graduate<br />
in June 2017.<br />

Research on youth<br />
offenders completed<br />
LAST WEEK a presentation<br />
was held for St Thomas<br />
of Canterbury students<br />
following their completion of<br />
research on young offenders.<br />
This year the National<br />
Youth Custody Index <strong>2016</strong><br />
was completed by students<br />
Nuku Tau, Te Aotahi Rice-<br />
Edwards, Joseph Devine and<br />
Xavier Ngaata.<br />
At the presentation, New<br />
Zealand chief ombudsman<br />
Judge Peter Boshier was<br />
presented with a gift from St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury after<br />
he was invited as a guest<br />
speaker at the presentation<br />
last week.<br />
The YCI Index was first<br />
released in September 2014.<br />
Every year the project is<br />
completed by four students<br />
aged 16-18 years old.<br />
The YCI Index is the<br />
school’s contribution to the<br />
ongoing debate about the<br />
incarceration of young New<br />
Zealanders.<br />
The conclusion they came<br />
to this year was Te Poutamathe<br />
youth sexual offender<br />
unit is too reliant on teacher<br />
aides and not registered<br />
teachers.<br />
The students said they have<br />
concerns that the Education<br />
Review Office do not visit<br />
and make assessments at Te<br />
Poutama.<br />
The students concluded<br />
while there is a decrease to<br />
custodial sentencing they<br />
were concerned there was a<br />
high level of re-offending.<br />
In the report they said<br />
the continual high rate of<br />
Maori involved in custodial<br />
environments remains “unacceptable”.<br />
Statistics from the<br />
Ministry of Justice website<br />
showed between 1992-2014<br />
some 2000 to 5000 New<br />
Zealand youth were in<br />
court.<br />

Healthy environment earns award<br />
AN EARLY learning centre in<br />
Halswell has joined the ranks<br />
as one of the heart-healthiest<br />
centres in the country after<br />
achieving an award from the<br />
Heart Foundation.<br />
Edukids Halswell has<br />
been the recipient of the Pa-<br />
Harakeke-gold star (flourishing)<br />
award.<br />
The award was presented to<br />
the centre last Friday by Heart<br />
Foundation health promotion<br />
co-ordinator Bek Parry.<br />
To earn this award, an early<br />
learning centre must have created<br />
a healthy environment and<br />
engaged the wider whanau and<br />
community in healthy eating<br />
and physical activity.<br />
The centre first signed up for<br />
the Heart Foundation’s Healthy<br />
Heart award in 2014; initially<br />
achieving the Rito award.<br />
The Heart Foundation’s<br />
Healthy Heart Award programme<br />
is partially funded<br />
by the Ministry of Health and<br />
helps early learning services<br />
create environments promoting<br />
healthy eating and physical<br />
activity to under-fives and their<br />
families.<br />

‘Dangerous’ intersection<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
AN intersection labelled<br />
as “dangerous” by the<br />
community will not be<br />
considered for an upgrade,<br />
says a recent city council<br />
report.<br />
Parents tell their children to<br />
avoid the Breens, Gardiners<br />
and Harewood Rds intersection.<br />
Nearby Breens Intermediate<br />
staff also regularly<br />
remind pupils about the risks<br />
of crossing it.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi<br />
Community Board requested<br />
city council staff investigate<br />
the intersection and report<br />
back to it with solutions.<br />
Staff reported back to<br />
the board saying: “The<br />
multi-laned, stop controlled<br />
intersection does create some<br />
difficulties for pedestrians<br />
trying to cross Harewood Rd<br />
immediately at the intersection,<br />
and there are no cyclist<br />
facilities.<br />
“However, there have been<br />
no reported pedestrian or<br />
cyclist crashes in the last<br />
10 years.<br />
“There are no current plans<br />
for upgrading the intersection,”<br />
the report said.<br />
More than 14,000 vehicles<br />
pass through the intersection<br />
NO UPGRADE: City council staff recommended that this Harewood intersection – labelled<br />
as “dangerous” by the community – does not need to be upgraded.<br />
every day.<br />
Statistics released by the<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
show between 2011 and<br />
2015 there were seven minor<br />
crashes and four non-injury<br />
crashes at the intersection.<br />
There were no fatal or serious<br />
injury crashes reported.<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Aaron<br />
Keown said the crash statistics<br />
cannot be the determining<br />
factor as to whether an<br />
intersection is deemed dangerous.<br />
“Under this current council,<br />
we will need a fatality to trigger<br />
an action, and that in my<br />
book is unacceptable,” he said.<br />
Mr Keown said an upgrade<br />
is needed to put the residents<br />
and parents minds at ease.<br />
“It doesn’t take a rocket<br />
scientist to work out that this<br />
intersection will have a fatality<br />
soon and we cannot wait for it<br />
to happen,” he said.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi<br />
Community Board received<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
the report this week and<br />
deputy chairman David<br />
Cartwright said he will be<br />
asking some “pretty big”<br />
questions around what<br />
solutions city council traffic<br />
staff can come up with.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />
Research Supports<br />
Eye Health<br />
NutritioNal researchers have<br />
discovered a range of nutrients that are<br />
essential for eye health. some of the most<br />
essential nutrients that have been shown to<br />
protect and even improve eye function are:<br />
selenium, is a trace mineral that is low<br />
in N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our<br />
foods. researchers believe selenium may<br />
help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration<br />
(the leading cause of impaired vision in older<br />
people) and may also improve dry eyes and<br />
general eye health.<br />
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage<br />
of the population are low in. Zinc has been<br />
shown to help protect the eyes from the<br />
damaging effects of light as well as slow<br />
vision loss due to macular degeneration.<br />
Vitamin c, citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene<br />
(Pro-vitamin a) and copper have<br />
potent antioxidant ability and help protect<br />
the eyes from damage<br />
lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing<br />
nutrients that have been shown in landmark<br />
research to not only provide potent eye<br />
protection but may even help reverse<br />
some of the signs of age-related macular<br />
degeneration (aMD).<br />
Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent<br />
antioxidants may help protect the lens and<br />
retina from damage and reduce the risk<br />
of cataracts. They also may help improve<br />
blood supply to the eye, strengthen the small<br />
capillaries of the eye and may help improve<br />
night vision, may alleviate many eye ailments<br />
including eye fatigue that may be caused by<br />
reading, driving and computers.<br />
eyebright may help normalise eye pressure<br />
and reduce eye allergies.<br />
taurine is an amino acid that is essential<br />
for correct eye function. it may also have a<br />
detoxifying affect on the eye.<br />
Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,<br />
bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.<br />
Yumberry is the latest in eye protection.<br />
it provides many nutrients, is rich in<br />
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (oPc’s) that<br />
are potent antioxidants that may protect<br />
eyesight.<br />
These nutrients taken in a therapeutic<br />
amount should provide comprehensive eye<br />
protection, may slow and possibly even help<br />
reverse eye damage that could lead to loss<br />
of vision. all these nutrients are available<br />
in an economical one a day easy to swallow<br />
capsule.<br />

Co-Q10 Reduces all causes<br />
of Mortality by 50%<br />
researchers Were amazed with the<br />
results of how beneficial a natural nutrient<br />
coenzyme- Q10 (coQ10) is to the human<br />
body. co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in<br />
the body’s cells that is essential for cell<br />
function, energy and survival. The heart,<br />
liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large<br />
amounts of co-Q10 to function well.<br />
in a recent multi country double blind<br />
trial on the possible benefits of coQ10 to<br />
protect against heart failure, 420 patients<br />
with severe heart failure were given<br />
coQ10 or a placebo and then followed for<br />
2 years. it was found to the amazement of<br />
the researchers the patients who received<br />

the co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an<br />
adverse cardiovascular event or death<br />
compared to the placebo patients. Not<br />
only this but the patients on the coQ10<br />
had a 50% reduction in death not only<br />
from cardiovascular events but from all<br />
causes.<br />
according to lead study author<br />
Professor Mortensen this study is the first<br />
in over a decade to show a natural nutrient<br />
can reduce heart failure mortality and<br />
coQ10 should be added as a standard<br />
treatment for anyone with cardiovascular<br />
complaints. it is known that coQ10 levels<br />
decrease in the heart muscle of patients<br />
with heart failure as severity worsens.<br />
statin drugs are used to treat many<br />
patients with cardiovascular problems<br />
but these drugs also reduce coQ10<br />
levels further in the body. symptoms<br />
of low coQ10 in the body can be low<br />
energy and endurance, muscle pain,<br />
poor memory, concentration and poor<br />
heart function or heart failure.<br />
coQ10 levels are known to decrease<br />
as we age and many researchers<br />
believe keeping our levels up of this<br />
vital nutrient may help prevent many<br />
chronic diseases including cancer.<br />
co-Q10 is available as a natural<br />
supplement to support good health.<br />

Co-Q10 Vital for Good Health<br />
Co-Q10 is a nutrient that is absolutely vital to every cell to perform its function & live. It is<br />
essential for energy production, muscle function & required in sufficient amounts for the<br />
heart to keep beating. A deficiency will affect all organs & sufficient Co-Q10 is considered an<br />
important factor in reducing the chances of chronic disease & reduced life expectancy. Co-<br />
Q10 is a fat soluble nutrient & its absorption is enhanced when it is in a base of fatty acids.<br />
This formula contains 150mg of naturally fermented Co-Q10 in a special blend of fatty acids<br />
(Fish, Flaxseed & EP Oils) to enhance the absorption.<br />
Co-Q10 Supports:<br />

Winter Warmer - Hot tips<br />
for cold weather<br />
Does that nip in the air make it hard<br />
to get moving? What better way to warm<br />
yourself than getting the blood pumping to<br />
warm up on the inside.<br />
The less active we are, the more we feel the<br />
cold. But it’s easy to warm hands and feet by<br />
working muscles and joints while staying dry<br />
and warm in front of tV.<br />
The aircycle exerciser is an indoor warmer<br />
which gets your circulation going in no time.<br />
The movement is a gentle awakening for<br />
sleepy muscles and joints, warms and loosens<br />
them to ease them into action.<br />
tight, cold muscles mean decreased<br />
mobility and are more prone to injury.<br />
imagine putting a rubber band in the freezer<br />
and then trying to stretch it over a large box.<br />
it snaps. But warm the rubber band slowly<br />
and it will stretch to take the force of your<br />
pull. That band is like your muscles in winter.<br />
it is unnecessary to use the aircycle for<br />
lengthy periods. short, frequent spells<br />
throughout the day and evening are most<br />
effective. a few minutes while sitting with<br />
a coffee or chatting on the phone will keep<br />
blood circulating and feet and hands warm.<br />
a good warm up keeps the body running<br />
like a well oiled machine. Mrs spier wrote, “i<br />
have arthritis and joint problems. When i’ve<br />
been using the aircycle i feel as though i’ve<br />
had a good lube. My joints are more flexible<br />
and i can garden more easily.”<br />
aircycles are available in pharmacies, at<br />

Get rid of dampness<br />
in your house<br />
NoW WItH the colder and wetter weather<br />
on its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />
healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />
rISINg DAMP is an issue that affects many of<br />
our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes that<br />
suffer from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from<br />
the ground and enter a house every day, leading<br />
to mildew, mould, condensation and musty<br />
smells. Moulds can produce various allergic<br />
reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally<br />
owned and operated firm. The team understands<br />
the problems caused by rising damp and are<br />
there to help. They will come to your damp home<br />
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete<br />
under your timber floored home. Specially<br />
adapted for our New Zealand conditions and<br />
applications it provides a layer of protection<br />
against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit<br />
that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
have noticed recently, is that many owners<br />
of properties which had underfloor foam<br />
concrete installed, reported that it also provided<br />
protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />

ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />

differing requirements.<br />
VeNtILAtIoN<br />
This includes both the exchange of air to the<br />
outside as well as circulation of air within the<br />
building. It is one of the most important factors<br />
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in<br />
buildings.<br />
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to live and work. In case<br />
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />
smells, humidity and harmful substances are not<br />
removed.<br />
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a<br />
high content of dust and tobacco smoke are<br />
harmful and can cause various diseases. even<br />
bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />
nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open<br />
windows for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />
approaches, we start to shut up out houses to<br />
trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can<br />
decline.<br />
It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

skills.<br />

Pasifika engineer<br />
reboots Plan A<br />
Pasifika students are slowly<br />
gravitating towards engineering. Third year<br />
Bachelor of engineering technology student<br />
at ara institute of technology, Richard Ofa,<br />
urges them to think long term.<br />
Richard is motivated. He has worked at a<br />
semi-skilled level. after graduating from an<br />
it qualification at ara (then CPit), he took<br />
a temporary job as a CnC machine operator<br />
at skOPe. The money was good at the time,<br />
but several years later he was still in the same<br />
position.<br />
Richard took stock and realised he wanted<br />
to be an engineer, designing the products<br />
that he had been assembling at skOPe. He<br />
needed an engineering qualification.<br />
The ara three year engineering degree<br />
offered evening classes, which allowed<br />
Richard to continue working. “i have<br />
a responsibility to my family and the<br />
community, so not working isn’t an option,”<br />
he says.<br />
Richard negotiated to work part time at<br />
skOPe and launched into his engineering<br />
studies. “Coming back to study, working with<br />
computers, doing 3d modelling, it’s what i<br />
have always wanted to do.<br />
“i love problem solving, being creative and<br />
coming up with new ideas. for my third year<br />
project, skOPe gave me a project to work<br />
on. it’s a sliding door design, a new design. i<br />
am quietly confident it will work out.”<br />
The degree will certainly open doors for<br />
Richard. “i am hoping to get a full time<br />
design job with skOPe when i graduate.<br />
My long term plan is project management<br />
– i will probably come back and do some<br />
project management papers at ara in five to<br />
10 years’ time when i have some experience.<br />
“My family are happy, in that island<br />
way, now they can see the value of the<br />
qualification.<br />
Meanwhile, Richard is seeing more<br />
Pasifika students in engineering. “The first<br />
year i was the only fulltime Pasifika student,<br />
but numbers have increased in the last<br />
two years, including the number of female<br />
Pasifika engineering students.<br />
“The biggest challenge is managing the<br />
workload of studying and working. i work<br />
three days a week and study full time, so i<br />
look forward to a sleep-in on the weekend,”<br />
he says.<br />

<strong>July</strong> <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
Kevin Barry, a light<br />
heavyweight boxing silver<br />
medallist at the 1984<br />
Olympics, took on Joseph<br />
Parker's training after being<br />
headhunted by Duco Events<br />
three years ago. Kevin quickly became a mentor, father figure and friend to the then<br />
“young, shy quiet boy”.<br />
This is your chance to listen to Kevin Barry and ask questions of IBF World<br />
Heavyweight Mandatory Challenger Joseph Parker. Fresh off his gruelling 12 round win<br />
against Frenchman Carlos Takam, Parker is coming to Christchurch to fight Australian<br />
Solomon Haumono in preparation for his IBF World Title fight and in doing so, will put<br />
his IBF Title shot on the line.<br />
Lunch includes two courses and beverages with master of ceremony Gary<br />
McCormick. Pre-lunch drinks are from 11.30am with lunch served at 12noon.<br />
