Design flaws 

likely cause 

of leaks at 

Burnside HS 

The winter blues have been avoided these school holidays by children taking part in 

KidsFest activities, including eight year old Oakley Blackburn of Wigram who shows off his 

back-flip skills at Olympia Gymnastic in Hornby. •More photos, page 13 PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER

DESIGN FLAWS are believed 

to be responsible for leaks in the 

six-year-old $4 million Burnside 

High School art and technology 

block. 

Similar leaks have also 

been found in the school 

administration buildings. 

They will be repaired as part 

of a $24 million repair and 

redevelopment work plan at the 

school, which is set to start this 

year. 

The cost of fixing the leaks is 

not yet known, but is expected 

to be assessed in the next few 

weeks. 

The building has been leaking 

for more than two years, but 

work to fix it was put on hold 

while the Ministry of Education 

assessed other earthquake 

repairs and redevelopment work 

at the school. 

Burnside principal Phil 

Holstein said the repair was 

initially not expected to be done 

until 2022. 

It was brought forward to this 

year, as the school was worried 

damage would be done to the 

building if the leaks were not 

repaired, he said. 

He said the architectural 

design of the buildings was 

believed to be responsible for 

the leaks. 

“Across the country, a lot of 

school designs with this style 

of architecture, particularly flat 

roof buildings, a lot of them 

have weather tightness issues,” 

he said. 

Alongside the repair work, 

he said the school was set to be 

refurbished and modernised. 

“We want to provide the best 

learning environment we can 

for our students here, and that’s 

ultimately what we’re after,” he 

said. 

Bringing the work forward 

meant the school could start the 

master-planning process with 

the Ministry of Education soon, 

he said.

THERE’S ONE big leaky problem 

on page 1 today – Burnside High 

School. 

We reveal design flaws are 

believed to be responsible for leaks 

in the six-year-old $4 million art 

and technology block. 

Similar leaks have also been 

found in the school administration

The cost of fixing the leaks will

The building has been leaking 

for more than two years, but work 

to fix it was put on hold while

The flat roof design appears to 

be the cause of the damage. 

No surprises there.

No library bus for Merivale 

• By Julia Evans 

THE MERIVALE Precinct 

Society is worried about the 

lack of facilities for its ageing 

population. 

So the residents’ group came 

up with a solution – to put the 

mobile library bus stop there 

again. 

Deputy chairwoman 

Denise Leighs approached the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board, which 

raised the issue with the city 

council. 

However, the city council 

said Merivale does not meet the 

criteria to get the mobile library 

bus back anytime soon.

CASTLE: Artist Asheley Elizabeth with 

the sandcastle. 

MASTERPIECE: Marthah, Gemma, Brianna and Caitlyn 

Hellyer admiring the sculpture with artist Annette 

Griffiths. 

Sandcastle on display 

IT HAS taken four artists, a 

week of work and 10 tonnes of 

sand. 

But shoppers at The Hub 

Hornby won’t be able to miss the 

extravagant sand sculpture in the 

middle of the mall. 

The brief was broad – a fantasy 

castle. 

So artists Asheley Elizabeth, 

Cynthia van de Loo, Helen Beswick 

and Annette Griffiths went 

to work creating the masterpiece. 

Hornby Hub manager Jason 

Marsden said the mall had been 

doing this annually since 2012. 

“Always during the school holidays,” 

Mr Marsden said. 

He said there’s something special 

about capturing the imagination 

of children who can see the 

whole art process for a week and 

then the final product for another 

week. 

But Ms Elizabeth said it wasn’t 

only children stopping to have a 

look as they worked. 

“It was people of all ages that 

were coming in and having a 

chat,” she said. 

The sandcastle will be in 

the mall until the end of the 

school holidays but Ms Elizabeth 

said she’d love it if the public 

wanted it there for as long as 

possible. 

BEACH: 10 tonnes of sand went into making the installation.

Local News 

Now 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Halswell shelter recaptures past 

THE STORY of a women’s 

refuge has been captured in a 

Halswell shelter. 

Canterbury’s heritage has 

been reflected in a remembrance 

structure that recalls and tells 

the story of Mount Magdala, an 

1880s women’s refuge and its 

historical farm buildings. 

Titled A Place to Shelter, the 

new structure in McMahon 

Reserve outlines the history 

of the area and incorporates 

repurposed heritage material 

from the original Mount 

Magdala farm. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board has 

been involved in the design 

options. 

“We are delighted a new 

remembrance structure now 

features in McMahon Reserve, 

incorporating heritage material 

from the original Mount 

Magdala farm. It brings history 

to life in the Aidanfield area,” 

Community Board chairman 

Mike Mora said. 

The shelter stands on the site 

of the farm that once provided 

all the food for Mount Magdala, 

and, later, St Joseph’s Orphanage. 

It presents a new chapter in 

the story of the many shelters 

sited on the land. 

By using material from the 

original farm, it acknowledges 

the rural and social history of the 

area now known as Aidanfield. 

Indeed, Aidanfield was named 

after one of Mount Magdala’s 

founding sisters, Mother Aidan 

Phelan. 

Mount Magdala was a largely 

self-sufficient home run by the 

Sisters of the Good Shepherd. 

The farm buildings were arranged 

in a U-shape with a central 

courtyard, replicating the 

traditional English farmstead 

seldom seen in New Zealand. 

HISTORY: 

The new 

information 

shelter in 

Halswell 

tells the 

story of a 

pioneering 

women’s 

refuge. 

Mount Magdala provided 

food and shelter for hundreds of 

women, and later children, until 

1966. 

The official opening of A Place 

to Shelter will be held on Sunday 

at 11.45am at McMahon Reserve 

on the corner of McMahon 

Drive and Aidanfield Drive. 

Residents worried 

about drivers 

using rat runs 


THE COMMUNITY living 

alongside Christchurch Boys’ 

High School is worried about 

dangerous driving and pedestrian 

safety. 

Residents have expressed 

concerns to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board regarding commuters “rat 

running” and “speeding” through 

Harakeke St to avoid peak traffic 

delays in Riccarton. 

The Straven and Riccarton Rd 

intersection is particularly busy, 

residents told the board so to 

avoid traffic motorists are opting 

to use Harakeke St. 

The intersection at Straven 

Rd has the most significant 

safety issues for cyclists and 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

hostel students who often use the 

intersection. 

Traffic calming measures, 

including speed bumps, have already 

been installed in Harakeke 

St but city council staff are now 

investigating to see if there are 

any other safety measure that can 

be implemented. 

A report will go back to the 

community board with findings 

by September.

Glimmer of hope for hall 


THE YALDHURST Memorial 

Hall has been thrown a lifeline, 

with more consultation to be 

made before a decision is made 

on its future. 

But now it will take two community 

board’s to decide its fate. 

Last month, the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board decided to recommend to 

the city council that the plaques 

be removed and the earthquakedamaged 

building be 

demolished. 

But the community 

board 

made a U-turn 

on its recommendation, 

and 

Mike Mora 

asked that more 

consultation be 

carried out before a final decision 

is made, which councillors 

agreed to. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said he met with some residents 

following the board’s decision, 

who raised concerns with the 

consultation around the hall’s 

demolition. 

“There’s quite a lot of issues 

that came to light – a lot of the 

community were expecting 

another round of consultation 

before this decision was made,” 

he said. 

At the meeting, city councillor 

Aaron Keown expressed an 

interest in being involved in the 

process as the hall lies on the 

boundary between Harewood 

and Hornby wards. 

The Pound Rd hall was built 

in 1954 to house war memorial 

plaques, but was badly damaged 

in the February 22, 2011, earthquake 

forcing its closure. 

A city council report said 

it would cost $1.2 million to 

repair. Demolition was expected 

to cost between $50,000 and 

$75,000, it said. 

The report said the community 

was in favour of demolition, 

but wanted to retain a community 

building in the area, with 

further discussions to be had 

LIFELINE: 

More 

consultation 

will be carried 

out with the

future of the

around that. 

A seminar will be held 

between the two community 

boards to outline the current 

situation. 

The boards will then consider 

an agreed way forward including 

arrangements for further 

engagement with affected local 

community. 

A time frame is yet to be 

confirmed. 

Repairs to 

begin on 

Burnside’s 

leaky 

buildings 

•From page 1 

Ministry of Education head 

of the education infrastructure 

service Kim Shannon said the 

work would start in the next 

few weeks. 

Once the design work was 

done on the buildings, the cost 

of fixing the leaking issues 

could be assessed, she said. 

“A designer will be appointed 

in the next few weeks to 

determine specifically what 

is required to fix the weathertightness 

issues,” she said. 

She said the leaks were the 

result of “historic design and 

construction work”, but who 

was liable was complicated. 

“Proving liability for 

weather-tightness issues 

is not straight forward in 

Christchurch due to the 

wide ranging impacts of the 

earthquakes,” she said.

full of testosterone and need to 

get it out. Yes, young people these 

days need more respect but also 

the council needs to give them 

somewhere constructive to have 

fun such as Kaikoura. They let 

them use the old go kart track 

and the boy racers maintain it 

themselves and most them stay 

off the street to avoid tickets 

and respect the community, 

otherwise cops will come down 

hard and shut down their play 

area and if any one does do skids 

in stupid spots the boys will hit 

them up and told don’t be an 

idiot or you’ll ruin it for all of us. 

Lee Nicholls – It would be 

annoying for the people who 

have to clean up. Really just 

another reason for them to have 

somewhere to do this. People 

have done things like this since 

the invention of the wheel, it’s 

very unlikely to ever go away. 

Rachel Roberts – It’s only 

a matter of time and those losers 

will be caught. Cameras are being 

installed as well as prohibited 

time zones. About time frankly. 

Brenda Te Koeti – As long 

as it’s left tidy, it’s better than 

causing issues on the streets. 

Jan Lowe – I have to drive 

distance to go tramping so driving 

is the same. 

Jon Bradford – Good to 

see it being used for multiple 

purposes. 

Rob Dickinson – That’s a 

good use of space then. 

Michael Cullen – Good use 

of resources.

A NEW and modern teaching 

block is nearing completion at 

Villa Maria College. 

On July 25, the school is 

set to open its new classroom 

block, which offers a nod to the 

past. 

The college has named its 

new building Kia Toa, which 

was the name of the original 

late 1800s homestead the Sisters 

of Mercy purchased as part of 

the Peer St property in 1918. 

“We understand Kia Toa 

means to be brave and to store. 

Kia Toa expresses these ideas 

for the building as a place from 

which girls will set off, strongly 

Medbury School welcomed Harley 

Hamilton from World Vision to its 

assembly, to accept money raised for 

the 40 Hour Famine. Medbury raised 

$22,818.10, which was the second 

highest amount by a group in New 

Zealand, and collectively they walked 

more than 6000km. 

SCHOOLS 

College building near completion 

Medbury pupils 

put big effort 

into fundraising 

and bravely with their store of 

knowledge to take the story of 

Mercy with them,” principal 

Deborah Brosnahan said. 

Kia Toa will boast 17 large 

teaching spaces for technology 

learning, including food, 

textiles and digital as well as 

media studies, english, social 

sciences and religious education. 

The new building is part of 

the college’s 10-year modernisation 

programme. 

Next year marks Villa Maria’s 

centenary, with celebration 

planning already well under 

way.

CHICKEN BREAST WITH 

MUSHROOM STUFFING 

AND MARSALA GLAZE 

Ingredients 

1 Garlic clove 

1 Shallot, or small onion, diced 

15g Butter 

50g White Button mushrooms 

2 slices Bread, stale and diced 

1 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped 

1 Lemon, zest 

2 Chicken breasts 

1 Tbsp Oil 

3 Tbsp Marsala, or sherry 

2 Tbsp Cream 

Directions 

Stuffing 

In a small frying pan, fry the 

garlic and shallot in the butter 

until translucent. Add the mushrooms 

and fry for 2-3min until 

cooked. Add the breadcrumbs, 

cooking until the butter has 

been absorbed. 

Take off the heat, add the parsley 

and lemon zest and season 

with salt and freshly ground 

black pepper. 

To cook the chicken 

Heat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Stuff the chicken breast by lifting 

the tenderloin up (if there is no 

tenderloin, ignore this). Press 

half of the stuffing on to the 

breast meat. Cover the stuffing 

with the tenderloin. Wrap the 

breast with kitchen string to secure 

the stuffing in place and tie. 

Repeat with second breast. 

Heat a frying pan and add oil. 

Add the breasts skin side down 

and season with salt. When 

browned on one side, turn and 

season again. After 3min, place 

the pan in the hot oven for a further 

10-12min or until cooked. 

Remove from the oven and 

cover with foil to rest for 5min. 

To serve, place the chicken on a 

chopping board and remove the 

string. 

Slice in half and place on a 

warmed plate. Cover with foil 

while you make the sauce. 

Return the pan of chicken 

juices to the hob. Add the 

marsala or sherry and let it 

reduce for 2-3min (this is called 

de-glazing). Add the cream and 

taste for seasoning. Pour the 

sauce over the chicken. You may 

need to pour over through a 

sieve to remove any burnt pan 

leftovers. Season with freshly 

ground black pepper. Serve with 

potatoes and greens.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Time Honoured 

Remedy 

Are you 

Magnesium 

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 of the cider vinegar 

and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid 

and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted 

calcium deposits and helped the body control 

calcium use. 

As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found 

regular administration of cider vinegar and 

honey at the onset of complaints such 

as the common cold, sinusitis, 

asthmatic attacks, hay fever, 

and childhood diseases 

such as chicken pox 

and measles, was 

accompanied by 

an improvement 

in the condition 

with symptoms 

either disappearing, 

or the conditions were 

extremely mild and soon 

over. 

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 can 

destroy free radicals, which are a major factor 

in ageing.) and also the ACV can break down 

cholesterol formations in the blood vessels. 

ACV and H is a powerful tonic that also 

promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients 

and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize 

any toxic substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all cider vinegar 

is made in the traditional way and results are 

likely to prove disappointing with these other 

vinegars.

deficient? 

Minerals are the building blocks of 

good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others 

like magnesium are needed in much 

larger amounts and on a regular basis to 

prevent deficiency and maintain optimum 

health. A large number of us do not 

obtain sufficient magnesium from our 

diet and may notice some of the common 

signs of deficiency. Some of the more 

common symptoms that may be caused by 

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle 

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, 

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, 

raised and/or unstable blood pressure, 

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, 

shortness of breath, swallowing problems, 

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, 

irritability, seizures, poor concentration 

and many more. 

Although many young people now show 

signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms 

generally worsen as we age due to our 

digestive system being less efficient. Taking 

a magnesium supplement of sufficient 

strength may be a sensible option to top

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

WESTERN NEWS 

Be health smart 

this winter 

HaNDS arE the main pathways of germ 

transmission. Hand hygiene is therefore 

the most important measure to avoid the 

transmission of harmful germs. 

Wash your hands, before & after food 

preparation and eating, if you borrow 

someone elses equipment and of course 

after blowing your nose. For convenience 

it is a good idea to have hand sanitiser on 

hand to use in between washing. 

Sneezing & coughing into the crook 

of your arm or tissues rather than your 

hand, reduces the spread of airborne 

bugs. remove tissues to the rubbish 

immediately. 

Keep hydrated, two thirds of your body 

is made of water, so keeping hydrated 

is one of the most important things you 

can do for your health. Dehydration 

symptoms range from headaches to 

nausea to fatigue, but the effects of 

dehydration on your immune system are 

not always as obvious. Staying hydrated 

keeps the mucus membranes moist, which 

keeps the immune system functioning 

optimally. Unfortunately, lattes and wine 

don’t count, but upping your intake of 

water is incredibly beneficial. aim to 

drink at least eight glasses of water a day. 

You’ll notice the difference! 

Eat in season, poor nutrition impairs 

the immune response. Fresh vegetables, 

fruits, nuts, grains and legumes or pulses 

are full of immune-boosting properties 

and antioxidants. Nature provides fresh 

seasonal foods to compensate for what 

our bodies are lacking at that time of 

year. Kiwifruit & citrus fruits that are in 

season throughout winter are packed with 

Vitamin C. 

Stress less, although short periods of 

stress can actually be good for us longterm 

chronic stress lowers our immunity, 

making us more susceptible to colds and 

flu. We all have our own ways of coping 

and reducing stress so whether it’s taking 

a bath, going to the gym, getting outdoors 

in the garden or having fun with the kids, 

do something to unwind. Not only are 

you doing your adrenal glands a favour, 

you’re also reducing your chances of being 

struck down by the latest virus. 

Get a good night’s sleep, sleep is 

essential for your body to rest, repair and 

rejuvenate. (Don’t you find you always 

tend to look your best after a good night’s 

sleep?) The human growth hormone 

that’s released during sleep helps repair 

your body at a cellular level, but it’s 

also beneficial for the immune system. 

Interrupted sleep (or just not enough of 

it) significantly reduces the effectiveness 

of your immune system, particularly the 

natural killer cells, which is your body’s 

first line of defence against germs.

Villa Maria scores junior title win 

SPORTS 

CHAMPS: Villa Maria’s year 10 side won their grade in the 

South Island junior netball tournament. (Below) Rangi Ruru 

and St Margaret’s year 10 sides persisted as long as they 

could in terrible conditions before the game was called off. 

• By Andrew King 

VILLA MARIA College 

celebrated winning the year 10 

title in the South Island junior 

netball tournament after beating 

Queenstown’s Wakatipu High 

42-27 on Wednesday. 

However, due to appalling 

weather conditions, the final 

was transferred from the 

Christchurch Netball Centre to 

the St Margaret’s College gym. 

Unfortunately, they were 

unable to play most of the final 

games on Wednesday due to 

snow falling. 

Villa opened their account in 

the tournament with a 49-15 win 

over Gore’s St Peter’s College 

before beating Wakatipu 30-23 

and Cashmere High 43-22. 

In the second day of 

competition, Villa beat Timaru 

Girls’ High 38-28 before 

losing to St Margaret’s 26-23. 

They bounced back to defeat 

Dunedin’s St Hilda’s Collegiate 

37-25. 

The semi-finals were able to be 

played before the weather closed 

in with Villa beating Southland 

Girls’ High 25-9 to progress to 

the final. 

Tournament director Penny 

Martin said it was a great event 

that was unfortunately let down 

by the weather. 

“After two full days of playing 

their little hearts out, it was 

a shame to cancel those last

games,” she said. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ High were 

third equal with Villa Maria in 

the year 9 grade. 

Christchurch Girls’ High were 

third equal with Southland Girls’ 

High in the year 10 grade. 

The annual tournament, now 

in its 20th year, attracted 88 year 

9 and 10 teams ready to compete 

for glory over the three-day 

event. 

New treatment for fungal nails 

Feet First, the long-established 

podiatry clinic in Upper Riccarton, now 

has a much more efficient and effective 

means of dealing with the problem of 

fungal nails, thanks to a new machine 

they recently obtained from Britain, 

where it was designed and trialled. 

Clearanail is a procedure where the 

Podiatrists use a machine to make 

tiny holes in the nail without affecting 

the nail bed – a completely pain-free 

procedure that then allows the topical 

application of antifungal 

solution to directly reach the 

problem area. 

Fungal nails may cause 

the toenail to thicken, which 

consequently can make shoes 

feel uncomfortable. Anyone 

who believes they have a fungal 

infection of the nails is invited 

to make an appointment for a 

consultation with Feet First so one of the 

qualified Podiatrists can assess if that is 

the case, and if so, will recommend the 

Clearanail procedure. This involves the 

initial treatment, and three follow-up 

appointments at monthly intervals to 

check progress. 

“Fungal nail infections won’t disappear 

immediately,” clinic director Charlotte 

Russell says, “so people need to commit 

to the process, which can take up to four 

months as the nail grows.” 

effective treatment, Feet First has 

another unique feature – the Shoe 

Room. Here, clients can browse 

through a wide selection of ‘fashionable, 

functional footwear’ for men and 

women that not only provides support 

and comfort, but also looks modern and 

attractive. 

The four registered and experienced 

Feet First Podiatrists offer the full range 

of podiatry services for all ages and all 

conditions, with customised treatment 

provided for every client. They also 

offer a range of quality foot treatment 

products, including the German brand 

Gehwol. 

The clinic at 37 Main South Road is 

open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 

5pm, with late nights on Monday and 

Thursday to 7pm by appointment. The 

Shoe Room is open Monday to Friday 

9am-4pm. There is on-site parking 

available. 

Feet First also runs several satellite 

clinics. These are at the Marshland 

Family Health Centre, Marshland 

Road on Mondays, the Redcliffs 

Clinic, Augusta Street, on Wednesday 

afternoon and Friday morning, the 

Waltham Medical Centre, Waltham 

Road on Wednesday afternoon, and at 

Darfield Pharmacy on Friday. 

NEW TECHNOLOGY TO TREAT FUNGAL NAILS 

The Clearanail machine and 

related products. 

Clinic director Charlotte Russell displays 

one of the modern boot styles available 

in the Shoe Room. 

She says now is an ideal time to start 

fungal nail treatment with Clearanail, 

so nails will be looking healthy again 

when the warm, sandal-wearing 

weather arrives. Feet First has an 

introductory offer on Clearanail until 

the end of July.

IT WAS going to be the 

mother of all storms 

apparently. 

It turns out it wasn’t. 

At least not in the city. 

But it was bitterly cold, some 

snow fell and on the hills it 

managed to settle. 

I’m sure the weather did 

have some effect, however, 

with 16 motor accidents attended 

by our crews in the 

week. 

We did have the odd other 

call that could have been attributed 

to the weather. 

Although the incident 

attended by Harewood and 

Addington crews in Hornby 

last Friday had its origin in 

ignorance rather than iciness. 

A fire was lit in the fireplace 

by a shivering occupant. 

It’s just that this was a house 

damaged back in the earthquakes 

and the chimney had 

been removed. 

The result was quite 

fortunate really, with smoke 

filling the ceiling and then the 

house itself. 

Fortunate because that 

smoke was all that happened. 

Could easily have resulted in 

the loss of the home.

Some are from accidental 

causes, where smoke from 

cooking or dust from workmen 

sanding, set the alarms 

off. 

Last Thursday’s call to the 

Riccarton Clinic was a bit different. 

A plaster cast was being cut 

off a patient. 

Seems the plaster dust was 

enough to activate the alarm. 

Result was a full evacuation. 

Finally, the retrieval of a seal

its return to the Avon

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Christchurch 

School of Music 

INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS: The National Brass Band of New Zealand, which 

includes 13 Christchurch members, were runners-up in a section of the World 

Music Contest. 

Woolston Brass members play 

big role in international success 

CHRISTCHURCH musicians feature 

prominently in the National Brass Band 

of New Zealand, which was named 

runner-up in the brass band section of 

the World Music Contest. 

A third of the band members are from 

Christchurch, with all but one playing 

for Woolston Brass. 

The contest is held every four years in 

Kerkrade, the Netherlands. 

The New Zealand band’s programme 

opened with Whakarangatiratanga, 

commissioned from New Zealand composer 

Gareth Farr. 

The programme also featured a new 

major work written for the band by 

renowned English composer Peter 

Graham. The 39 th Parallel is based on the 

landscape and mythology of the Wanganui 

region in memory of brass band 

icon Kevin Jarrett. 

This year more than 20,000 musicians, 

making up 260 bands from 32 countries 

and five continents, participated. 

The band performed concerts in Stein, 

the Netherlands, and Aachen, Germany, 

before returning to New Zealand last week. 

The 13 Christchurch musicians 

are Kevin McMorran, New Brighton, 

Anthony Smith, Sydenham, Kevin 

Hickman, Sydenham, and his brother 

Graham, Huntsbury, Andrew 

Yorkstone, Burnham, Joe Thomas 

and Sam Pinder, Hoon Hay, Phillip 

Johnston, Spreydon, Nigel Seaton 

and his son Jordan (the youngest 

member of the national band at 20 

years of age), John Mason, Burnham, 

Cameron Lee, Ilam and Vaea 

Peterson, Halswell. 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in and 

around Christchurch. 

CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a 

strong focus on community. On a Saturday 

morning the whole family can find something 

to suit. Preschool and junior school children 

can start their musical journey by joining 

in our experiential “Take Off with Music” 

while older children and adults may opt for 

group or individual lessons on a specific 

instrument (including voice). Those who 

already play are welcome to join in one of 

the great ensembles which all take part in 

regular concerts including Saturday soirees 

and the popular annual Showcase Concert. 

Solo Recitals where individuals can perform 

are held regularly. 

CSM also provides a comprehensive music 

education to participating primary schools 

via its Outreach programmes offering 

tuition in band, strings, recorder, ukulele 

and classroom music in a wide range of 

Christchurch schools. 

Age is no limit - our Late Starters 

programme provides the opportunity for 

adults approaching retirement with more 

time on their hands to learn an instrument 

and join an ensemble with other like-minded 

adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also offers 

a range of weekday opportunities for learning 

and playing music and, if affordability is an 

issue, CSM may be able to offer a discount 

through funding provided by the Rata 

Foundation. 

Term 3 starts on Saturday 29 July and we 

can take new enrolments in most classes and 

ensembles.

Ensuring a safe work place 

LEArning firST aid is not only a 

part of ensuring a safe work place, but also 

an integral part of our engagement with 

the wider community. We all learn the 

necessary skills to ensure that in times of 

emergency we are able to assist our work 

colleagues, but are we able to take these 

skills home, into the community or on to 

the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and 

the injury risk for each place can be 

wide and variable. The office attended by 

administrators does not carry the same 

risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance 

from a regular ambulance service. it is 

therefore essential that you pick the right 

first aid course to suit all of your activities 

– both professional and social. 

Take, for example, an office worker who 

does not have a high risk work environment 

and whose concern might be to ensure 

that they can deal with minor cuts and 

superficial injuries, or the ability to perform 

effective CPr. These skills can be achieved 

on a course of eight hours duration and 

would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to 

a sports field either as a spectator or player 

when a higher level injury occurs. The 

eight hour course covering unit standards 

6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does 

not cover head neck and spinal injuries, 

eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of 

the work place, in fact one in three injuries 

occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. 

new Zealand children are twice as likely 

to die through injury as children who live 

in Australia. They mostly die as a result 

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the 

home. fatalities from leisure and sport are 

not far behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the 

additional unit standard 6400 and provides 

a wide knowledge base for medium to high 

risk environments. This course covers 

many of the skills required to deal with 

the most common injuries, such as falls 

(which can result in head, neck and spinal 

injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best 

suited to your needs, ask your accredited 

first aid training provider. They can explain 

the course content and give you options 

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond 

the workplace and consider your family 

and your location. Check that you have a 

good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date 

with replenished items, and that everyone 

knows where it is located.

Centre Term 3 

Term 3 sees us continuing to offer a range 

of classes across the city at Risingholme 

Community Centre, Riccarton High 

School, Shirley Boys High School, 

Christchurch Girls High School and 

Hornby High School, many of which 

have become a tradition of Risingholme 

Community Centre programme. So as we 

settle into the winter months a great way 

to lift the winter spirits, is to enrol in a 

course of interest – maybe something that 

you have tried before and want to explore 

further or perhaps you would like to try 

something new. 

It has been proven that Lifelong Learning 

has many benefits with the obvious ones 

being the continuation of a learning 

journey, learning a new skill, increased 

confidence, meeting new people and much 

more. Our full range of classes can be 

viewed on our website www.risingholme.

you can’t sit still enough for yoga, or 

your mind wanders in meditation, 

or you would like a creative aspect to 

your mindfulness, this may work for 

you. This method of drawing does not 

require any previous drawing ability, 

it can be a 15 minute practice you can 

build into your everyday, or you can 

explore some of the more creative ways 

you can then use this design practise 

to make your own cards, images, or

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of dampness 

in your house 

Now wITH the colder and wetter weather 

on its way, home owners are focusing on 

ways to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury 

especially, post-quake, many people have 

relocated to homes that suffer from rising 

damp which can be associated with health 

problems. Independent tests have shown 

that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the 

ground and enter a house every day, leading 

to mildew, mould, condensation and musty 

smells. moulds can produce various allergic 

reactions and the frail, elderly and very young 

are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted for our 

New Zealand conditions and applications 

it provides a layer of protection against 

rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that 

the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete 

have noticed recently, is that many owners 

of properties which had underfloor foam 

concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 

0508 362626 for more information.

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be 

Balanced 

Pressure 

Ventilation 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.

Ready for 

something 

new? 

We’re celebrating breaking the mould 

of traditional retirement living!

Put the date 

in your diary now! 

Thursday 20 July 

4pm-6pm 

Living Well Park Lane 

Apartments Launch 

35 Whiteleigh Ave, Tower 

Junction, Christchurch. 

Come along and enjoy bubbles, 

canapés and a presentation 

with special guests in this 

very unique retirement 

community! 

Welcome to the public launch and 

You’re invited to this very special event 

Inspired by the international Living 

Building Challenge principles, we have 

created a retirement development 

that is regenerative both for the local 

community and the local environment. 

Arvida has partnered with leading 

architects Jasmax to create a living 

environment designed to help 

residents remain engaged with the 

greater community and be truly part 

of things. So rather than a closed 

and gated village, we’ve designed 

an open one. And rather than taking 

charge of everything, we’re providing 

opportunities to support, grow, cook, 

bake and even help run things. From 

creating produce for our on-site café 

and market days, to caring for the 

gardens, chooks and animals, there 

is opportunity here to be involved as 

much or as little as you’d like. 

We call it the Arvida attitude of living 

well, and it’s all about providing you 

with choices. 

The attitude of living well

presentation of Living Well Park Lane 

Our buildings are designed to enhance the way you live 

It’s been our mission to create aesthetically 

beautiful buildings using the fundamentals 

of good architectural design and built from 

technologically advanced, natural and locally 

sourced materials. 

• One, two or three bedroom large luxury 

apartments in four floorplans 

• Thermally insulated homes with superior 

seismic integrity built-in for Christchurch 

• Wellness centre and coaches, café, gym, 

pool, crèche, chemist and doctors’ rooms 

• Fresh produce daily, grown in raised 

garden beds and glasshouses 

• Kids taking part, learning life skills and 

caring for the gardens and animals 

• Hassle-free and efficient 

transport, with a fleet of 

electric and hybrid cars 

provided for 

residents’ use.

Deans Ave

a look at what your future retirement lifestyle could look like.
