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 />

had 22 tags recorded. Of the<br />

other western suburbs scanned,<br />

Halswell had 13, Riccarton West<br />

had 7, Fendalton had 4, and<br />

Russley had 0.<br />

BUS LOUNGE OPENED<br />

Last week, the Northern<br />

The lounge on the north side of<br />

Riccarton Rd features seating for<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 />

RANGI RURU Girls’ School is<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 />

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.

Ford, Joesph Wright, Heremaia Manihera, Rania Kaskar, Jenna Kelly and Zakara Waho. ​<br />

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 />

young Kiwis develop and do acts of<br />

As part of Project K, Hornby<br />

High School students were required<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 />

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 />

HOME & HEATING<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 />

resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,<br />

lower power bills and greater comfort. But<br />

to eNSure the quality of your air, contact<br />

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate<br />

the required air exchange for your building<br />

requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of<br />

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

for fans, for both the commercial and domestic<br />

markets. They have an extensive range of fans<br />

and ventilation components in-store but they<br />

can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<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 />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

Horticulture<br />

Training for<br />

Christchurch<br />

Residents<br />

if yOu would like to enjoy gardening,<br />

improve your property value, produce fresh<br />

vegetables and fruit or get a job within<br />

the horticulture industry, this flexible<br />

programme can help you gain the necessary<br />

skills.<br />

skills update training institute has<br />

partnered with ara to offer an introductory<br />

‘no fees’ horticulture blended learning<br />

course which combines both classrooms<br />

tutorials have been scheduled weekly<br />

awards and titles, says “as your learning<br />

facilitator, i will assist you throughout the<br />

duration of the programme and provide<br />

guidance for each assessment.”<br />

“i am passionate about sustainable<br />

horticulture and really enjoy working<br />

with students to achieve their study and<br />

educational goals” says Hamish, who has a<br />

wide range of experience across the industry<br />

as well as teaching in the tertiary sector.<br />

enrolments are still open for <strong>2016</strong>. Call<br />

or email our team today. study over 40<br />

weeks and earn the sought after national<br />

Certificate in Horticulture Level 3.<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 />
