Train victim<br />

amputee<br />

faces<br />

challenges<br />

Morgan Jones was left blind<br />

and an amputee after a horrific<br />

accident – but he is still taking<br />

on dance competitions and<br />

adventure challenges<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

MORGAN JONES was six, travelling by train<br />

through Kaikoura when he fell through a safety rail<br />

and onto the tracks below.<br />

He was left with horrific injuries – blind, with his<br />

right leg amputated and one side of his body partially<br />

paralysed.<br />

Tranz Rail was taken to<br />

court over the accident, but<br />

was cleared of criminal<br />

negligence. A settlement was<br />

reached with Mr Jones’ family<br />

outside court.<br />

Now 29, he has been able<br />

to do more than he thought<br />

was possible - including<br />

competing in a dance competition<br />

and taking on an<br />

adventure trip.<br />

Ministry<br />

rejected<br />

hospital<br />

car park<br />

building<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

A PLAN for a 700-space car park<br />

near Christchurch Hospital was<br />

rejected two years ago, because a<br />

Ministry of Health group decided<br />

there was “not expected demand<br />

for it.”<br />

But the Canterbury District<br />

Health Board and NZ Nurses Organisation<br />

disagreed at the time,<br />

saying car parks would be needed.<br />

It comes as parking problems<br />

around the hospital have reached<br />

crisis level, with patients missing<br />

appointments and at least two<br />

hospital staff assaulted this year<br />

while walking to their cars.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ministry of Health wrote to<br />

the CDHB in June, <strong>20</strong>15, saying<br />

it was taking over responsibility<br />

for earthquake rebuild projects,<br />

including “proposed car parking<br />

projects”.<br />

It said they would become the<br />

responsibility of the Governmentappointed<br />

Hospital Redevelopment<br />

Partnership Group, and<br />

contracts for the projects would<br />

be managed by the Ministry of<br />

Health.<br />

In December, <strong>20</strong>15, the HRPG<br />

commissioned Deloitte to carry<br />

out a review of car parking need<br />

around Christchurch Hospital.<br />

It looked at a range of options<br />

including building a 700-space car<br />

parking building, but rejected the<br />

idea because it said “there is not<br />

expected demand for it in the next<br />

five years and future demand and<br />

supply beyond that is uncertain.”<br />

MORGAN JONES was sixyears-old<br />

when he fell through<br />

a safety rail on a train to<br />

the tracks below. He lost his<br />

sight, a limb and was partially<br />

paralysed. He is now 29 and<br />

has won a dance competition,<br />

rock climbed and earned a<br />

University degree.<br />

But there is one challenge he<br />

cannot get past at the moment<br />

– getting a job. He is taking<br />

it in his stride, concentrating<br />

his efforts on other goals, but<br />

wouldn’t it be wonderful to see<br />

him employed. Hopefully, we<br />

will have a encouraging update<br />

soon.<br />

Hagley Park and cricket are<br />

two words that can bring up a<br />

lot of emotion. When reporter<br />

Bridget Rutherford started<br />

working on the article on page<br />

3, there was chatter in the<br />

newsroom between cricket diehards<br />

and those who could see<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />

This week in history saw the first championship cycle meeting, at Hagley<br />

Park on <strong>April</strong> 17, 1880. On the same day in 1983 Dr Robert Runcie,<br />

the Archbishop of Canterbury, visited the city. On <strong>April</strong> 19, 1873, the<br />

Christchurch Golf Club was formed. <strong>The</strong> first course was in Hagley<br />

Park. <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong>, 1849, Captain Thomas (in a letter to Sir George Grey)<br />

reveals that he has chosen the present site of Christchurch for the new<br />

settlement – in spite of the fact that both the Nelson and Otago colonists<br />

had rejected it in 1841 and 1844 respectively. On <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong>, 1938, the first<br />

Inter-Dominion trotting event in New Zealand was held at Addington<br />

Raceway. Originally scheduled for Easter, the contest was postponed<br />

because of flooding throughout the city. Further flooding after the first<br />

races delayed the finals until May 4. On <strong>April</strong> 22, 1869, the Duke of Edinburgh<br />

visited. It was New Zealand’s first visit by a royal. On <strong>April</strong> 23,<br />

1895, the regular Lyttelton to Wellington ferry service started.<br />

TAKE CARE WITH TOADSTOOLS<br />

THere is a shroom boom in<br />

Christchurch as fungi flourish<br />

with the recent rain. A long period<br />

of drought followed by a wet<br />

autumn has sparked a spectacular<br />

showing of varied mushroom and<br />

other fungal species. City council<br />

botanist Trevor Partridge said the<br />

rain had created ideal growing<br />

conditions and toadstools and<br />

mushrooms were popping up in<br />

large numbers. He said a number<br />

were poisonous, so they should not<br />

be eaten.<br />

Fines for Hagley Oval breaches<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

• By Shannon Gillies<br />

LYTTELTON ARTIST Mark<br />

Whyte has been comissioned to<br />

create a bronze statue of Richie<br />

McCaw, which will stand in<br />

Kurow.<br />

Mr Whyte was selected by the<br />

Kurow Museum Committee to<br />

create their tribute to the former<br />

NOT OUT: Initially Hands off Hagley’s<br />

Martin Meehan tried to hit the Hagley<br />

Oval development out of the park,<br />

but now he is trying to stop more city<br />

council money going into it.<br />

CANTERBURY CRICKET has<br />

continued to breach its resource<br />

consent at Hagley Oval since it<br />

was controversially turned into<br />

an international cricket ground.<br />

Figures released to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

show Canterbury Cricket has<br />

been issued nine infringement<br />

notices since October <strong>20</strong>14, and<br />

charged $1800 in fines.<br />

Most of them were for failure<br />

to pack up equipment used for<br />

matches, such as portaloos,<br />

television scaffolding and<br />

perimeter fencing, within a day<br />

of the match. <strong>The</strong>re were two<br />

notices issued in <strong>20</strong>14, four in<br />

<strong>20</strong>15 – two of which no action<br />

was taken – and three last year.<br />

Since October <strong>20</strong>14, the city<br />

council had received 39 complaints,<br />

with the most recent on<br />

February 25.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y included difficulties<br />

with traffic management during<br />

matches, the late removal of<br />

equipment, and concerns the<br />

pavilion car parks were closed.<br />

Hands off Hagley spokesman<br />

Martin Meehan said the city<br />

council was spending about<br />

$1 million on upgrades for the<br />

cricket season.<br />

He could not understand why<br />

when the consent continued to<br />

be breached.<br />

<strong>The</strong> upgrades included<br />

$40,000 on sun shades, $125,000<br />

on aluminium temporary steps,<br />

a $105,000 service vehicle roadway<br />

to stop the ground from<br />

getting muddy, and embankment<br />

repairs of $<strong>20</strong>,000.<br />

Mr Meehan said a city council<br />

staff member told the group the<br />

removable sight screens cost<br />

$460,000.<br />

He said Canterbury and New<br />

Zealand Cricket should pay for<br />

upgrades.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> only people that benefit<br />

is cricket, and the rest of us pick<br />

up the cost,” he said.<br />

“It is done, you can’t lift it up<br />

All Black captain, who grew up<br />

in the area.<br />

<strong>The</strong> statue project was announced<br />

last August.<br />

Mr Whyte’s work included<br />

the statue of Charles Upham in<br />

Amberley and the bronze sled<br />

dog sculpture outside Lyttelton<br />

[Hagley Oval] and take it away.<br />

But the continuing spend is<br />

beyond a joke.”<br />

Canterbury Cricket chief executive<br />

Lee Germon said it paid<br />

up to $80,000 to lease the oval.<br />

“We certainly pay our way,<br />

it’s up to the council how they<br />

administer that.”<br />

Mr Germon said the number<br />

of breaches was reducing each<br />

year.<br />

Mr Whyte said the<br />

assignment was ‘’right up my<br />

alley’’.<br />

‘’People like Richie are the<br />

sort of role models that should<br />

have [statues]. Not only is he<br />

probably our most successful<br />

a hell of a nice guy as well. I’m<br />

Sometimes there were health<br />

and safety issues which slowed<br />

the packing away of equipment,<br />

such as poor weather, he<br />

said.<br />

This summer Hagley Oval<br />

would host a test and two one<br />

day internationals between the<br />

Black Caps and West Indies,<br />

and a test and one-dayer against<br />

England, as well as other community<br />

No charges after attack<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

NO CHARGES have been<br />

laid after a central city<br />

attack that left a woman<br />

in an induced coma with a<br />

crushed windpipe.<br />

On February 25, Amelia<br />

Rayner, 29, was punched<br />

in the throat when her and<br />

her boyfriend were leaving<br />

the Electric Avenue festival<br />

at Hagley Park about 11pm.<br />

While in hospital she<br />

had an operation to have<br />

a metal plate inserted<br />

into her throat to help her<br />

breathe.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant<br />

Mark Worner told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

police have not laid any<br />

charges yet in relation to<br />

the attack, but would not<br />

say why.<br />

“I cannot go into specifics<br />

of that case,” he said.<br />

Police have interviewed<br />

a man believed to have<br />

caused her injury.<br />

Ms Rayner’s father<br />

Gary Rayner said he would<br />

not comment on the outcome.<br />

He said he has engaged a<br />

lawyer.<br />

“It wasn’t going anywhere<br />

so we have got a lawyer<br />

to follow up just what is<br />

happening,” he said.<br />

Mr Rayner said Amelia<br />

was recovering well and<br />

boyfriend<br />

were leaving<br />

the Electric<br />

Hagley Park.<br />

was soon thinking about<br />

returning to work.<br />

He said her voice is coming<br />

back but she is still “a<br />

bit jumpy”.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> physical stuff is the<br />

easy part, the mental part<br />

is difficult to move past,”<br />

he said.<br />

It is alleged Ms Rayner<br />

and her boyfriend were<br />

leaving the festival when<br />

they got into an altercation<br />

with four men.<br />

<strong>The</strong> men allegedly assaulted<br />

her boyfriend,<br />

and when she stepped in<br />

to help, was punched in<br />

the throat crushing her<br />

been left with its hands tied because<br />

responsibility for car park<br />

concern that Deloitte had significantly<br />

NZ Nurses Organisation organiser<br />

Lynley Mulrine said the<br />

need for more parking near the<br />

for at least a decade, but the Government<br />

was “not listening”.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> DHB is in a position<br />

the problem, so if they’re<br />

not going to make decisions<br />

Vandals no match for Hatch<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

WHEN A cold, half-hatched<br />

swan egg was taken to the SPCA<br />

last week, there wasn’t much<br />

hope for its survival.<br />

But the cygnet named Hatch<br />

has defied the odds.<br />

He was found in a deserted<br />

nest at Westlake Reserve in<br />

Halswell after vandals terrorised<br />

his family. His parents and two<br />

siblings managed to escape, but<br />

Hatch was left behind until a<br />

passerby found him and rushed<br />

him into the SPCA.<br />

“Only Hatch’s beak was<br />

peeking out of the egg and [the<br />

person who found him] was very<br />

concerned,” SPCA Canterbury<br />

spokesperson Anna King said.<br />

“We did our best to keep the<br />

egg warm and took it in our animal<br />

ambulance to our friends at<br />

the Wildlife Hospital to hatch.”<br />

Once Hatch came out of his<br />

egg, staff at the South Island<br />

Wildlife Hospital tried to reunite<br />

him with his family – but the<br />

attempt was unsuccessful.<br />

Veterinarian Pauline Howard<br />

says Hatch was stomped when<br />

he tried to join his family, so he<br />

would have to be hand-raised<br />

before it was decided what to do<br />

with him.<br />

PEEKABOO: With just his<br />

beak poking out of an egg,<br />

Hatch was taken to the SPCA<br />

where he was given little<br />

chance of survival.<br />

“Ideally, we would release him,<br />

but there is a female swan at<br />

Willowbank and he could go in<br />

as a mate for her,” she said.<br />

Ms Howard said Hatch would<br />

be moved around different foster<br />

homes so he didn’t get too used<br />

to being in one place.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> big thing is we don’t want<br />

him to bond too much with people,<br />

because then he thinks he’s a<br />

person rather than a swan.<br />

“We do things like have<br />

FLUFFY: Now a fluffy little bundle, Hatch is looking for a<br />

caregiver.<br />

mirrors around so he can see<br />

himself, and have fluffy toys to<br />

cuddle into.”<br />

Hatch also had to be taught<br />

how to eat, as usually that was<br />

the job of the parents to teach<br />

their cygnets – but his first foster<br />

carer did a “great job” of teaching<br />

him to feed himself.<br />

Hatch would spend the next<br />

few months in foster homes until<br />

the South Island Wildlife Hospital<br />

found a permanent place for<br />

him to live.<br />

•From page 1<br />

He took home a trophy from<br />

the NZ World Latin Dance<br />

Cup competition last month –<br />

although he won by default as the<br />

only dancer in the category.<br />

He also went to the Give It A<br />

Go! youth amputee camp in New<br />

Plymouth this month, where he<br />

conquered rock climbing, abseiling<br />

and a giant rope course.<br />

“I tell people I’m not scared<br />

of heights, I’m just scared of the<br />

dark,” he said.<br />

But Mr Jones has struggled to<br />

get a job.<br />

He used technology like a<br />

“talking computer” to complete a<br />

Bachelor of Science at Canterbury<br />

University in <strong>20</strong>13, hoping to work<br />

in conservation.<br />

“I always loved and wanted to<br />

protect the environment,” he said.<br />

But in spite of several placements,<br />

he could not get work.<br />

He then completed a medical<br />

terminology paper – but once he<br />

finished the course, he said no<br />

companies would hire him.<br />

“I’d be happy to do anything,<br />

but even supermarket jobs I can’t<br />

do,” he said.<br />

Instead he is concentrating<br />

on his dancing, and creating a<br />

sanctuary for native birds in his<br />

backyard.<br />

Merivale received a<br />

$345,000 heritage<br />

incentive grant<br />

for restoration.<br />

DETERIORATED: <strong>The</strong> old<br />

Public Trust building has<br />

been saved from demolition<br />

after a $1.9 million landmark<br />

heritage grant.<br />

Heritage grants –<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

MORE THAN $19 million of<br />

ratepayer money has been spent<br />

on restoring heritage buildings<br />

following the February <strong>20</strong>11<br />

earthquake – and advocates say<br />

it’s money well spent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council sets aside<br />

$763,000 every year to use for<br />

heritage incentive grants. It also<br />

gives out central city landmark<br />

heritage grants for larger projects.<br />

Figures<br />

released to <strong>The</strong><br />

city council has<br />

given $5,725,557<br />

from its heritage<br />

Anna<br />

incentive grant<br />

fund over the<br />

last six years.<br />

On top of that, it gave<br />

$10,942,500 in landmark<br />

heritage grants, and $2,650,000<br />

to restoring the Arts Centre<br />

buildings.<br />

<strong>The</strong> money is used to restore<br />

and repair buildings with<br />

heritage status, listed under the<br />

district plan.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are subject to a covenant<br />

being put on the property so<br />

it protects the building for the<br />

future.<br />

Owners can apply for up to<br />

50 per cent of the cost of eligible<br />

work and it could include the fees<br />

of registered architects, engineers<br />

and quantity surveyors.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are paid after the work<br />

has been finished.<br />

Some of the buildings that<br />

got heritage incentive grants<br />

included the Nurse Maude Clinic<br />

in Merivale, which got $345,000,<br />

New Regent St buildings and a<br />

number of residential homes.<br />

Addington’s Woods Mill buildings<br />

have been given two grants,<br />

but the first one of $884,750 went<br />

back into the fund because it was<br />

not used.<br />

A new developer has received<br />

POPPY<br />

FUNERALS<br />

Refreshingly different...<br />

A fresh new face to funerals has stepped on the scene in the form of Poppy Funerals.<br />

<strong>The</strong> family owned and operated business has a refreshingly different approach to<br />

funerals. In the past, the only options available to families were those instructed by the<br />

funeral directors. This is not how Poppy Funerals feels funeral arrangements should be.<br />

“Families are best placed to know the right way to farewell their loved one. It’s not our<br />

place to tell them how they should grieve. When a family calls us to arrange funerals for<br />

their special person, we do what they want. If they want a traditional mournful funeral<br />

we will do that. But if they want a BBQ in the park, or a party to say good bye – we will<br />

do that too. Funerals have changed over the years, and it’s about time we as funeral<br />

directors changed with the times too. Our staff try to be bright and cheerful. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />

enough sadness around when a person passes. We want to have the celebration of their<br />

life shine through the sadness.”<br />

It is Funeral Directors Jazz and Steve’s intention to change the world we live in,<br />

one funeral at a time. “We are a normal down to earth family, and I know when my<br />

time comes I want a down to earth sort of person there to help my family through.”<br />

Poppy Funerals are focused on family’s needs, offering services from Direct Cremation<br />

to full Celebration of Life burials or cremations, as well as a DIY option where by<br />

Poppy Funerals will do as much or as little as you want. Not being owned by<br />

multi-national or large corporations they have the flexibility to actually meet your needs.<br />

‘money well spent’<br />

Central city landmark heritage<br />

grants have included buildings<br />

such as McLean’s<br />

Mansion, which<br />

received $1.9 million,<br />

$1.7 million<br />

for Christchurch<br />

Club, and the former<br />

Public Trust<br />

Yani<br />

Johanson<br />

building owners<br />

got $1.9 million<br />

last month to<br />

save the building.<br />

Christchurch Heritage Trust<br />

chairwoman Anna Crighton said<br />

every dollar spent on heritage<br />

protection was “a dollar well<br />

spent”.<br />

She said there were strict rules<br />

on what building’s qualified for<br />

grants.<br />

“Otherwise it’s just ratepayer<br />

money just being thrown away.”<br />

She said there were many projects<br />

that needed money following<br />

the February <strong>20</strong>11 earthquake, but<br />

for her, heritage buildings were a<br />

priority.<br />

“Once you’ve lost it, it’s gone<br />

forever.”<br />

City councillor Yani Johanson<br />

said following the earthquakes,<br />

the heritage incentive grant<br />

scheme became more<br />

important.<br />

“Heritage became absolutely<br />

critical post-quake.”<br />

City councillor Jamie Gough<br />

said restoring heritage buildings<br />

was difficult because it was time<br />

consuming and costly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scheme made it a bit easier<br />

for owners to preserve the buildings,<br />

and it showed the city valued<br />

its historic fabric, he said.<br />

BEAUTIFUL: Christchurch Club<br />

buildings (above) have received<br />

two different heritage incentive<br />

grants, but the first went back<br />

into the pool because the plan<br />

was dropped.<br />

MODEST: Heritage homes, such as this one on Montreal St,<br />

also qualify for heritage incentive grants.<br />

Wesley Mauafu<br />

Passion for helping Pasifika community<br />

Wesley Mauafu is<br />

passionate about helping<br />

Pasifika young people,<br />

whether it’s fighting high<br />

suicide rates or inspiring<br />

them to have a voice in<br />

politics. Last week he was<br />

invited to Parliament to<br />

receive a New Zealand<br />

Youth Award for his work.<br />

He spoke to Gabrielle<br />

Stuart<br />

Why is the issue of suicide so<br />

important to you personally?<br />

It started four years ago, when<br />

I did my first suicide prevention<br />

training. I went as a fresh-faced<br />

young guy, and to be honest, I<br />

was so oblivious to the horrific<br />

statistics of my own Pasifika<br />

young people. <strong>The</strong>y have so<br />

much potential and so much<br />

to give to the community as a<br />

whole, so when I found out we<br />

were perishing and struggling<br />

with our well-being it hit home<br />

a lot. From that day, every time<br />

I have seen a programme or<br />

initiative aimed at well-being, I<br />

am always keen to put my hand<br />

up and say yes, let’s do this. Our<br />

group, PYLET, is the council for<br />

Pacific Youth Leadership and<br />

Transformation. Through this,<br />

we are seriously saving Pasifika<br />

young people’s lives. That’s the<br />

motivation for me.<br />

Do you approach things differently<br />

when you’re working<br />

specifically with Pasifika youth?<br />

I definitely think we do. It’s<br />

little things like understanding<br />

our values. We’re brought up in<br />

our family environment with<br />

LEADER:<br />

Wesley<br />

Mauafu<br />

chaired<br />

the first<br />

meeting<br />

of PULSE<br />

– Pasifika<br />

United<br />

to Lead<br />

Suicide<br />

Prevention<br />

Education –<br />

last year.<br />

fa’aaloalo, which is the Samoan<br />

word for respect, and tautua,<br />

which means service. So service<br />

comes into the community<br />

work that we do, and respect<br />

means respecting our elders.<br />

Understanding our cultural<br />

values helps us work better with<br />

Pasifika youth.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Pasifika community in<br />

Christchurch is quite tight-knit,<br />

right? Is that a strength, when<br />

you’re fighting something like<br />

suicide?<br />

Well, we originally held three<br />

suicide prevention workshops<br />

and something we found was,<br />

yes, we do have a very strong<br />

community, but within Pacific<br />

cultures there are also a lot of<br />

stigmas we had to try to get rid<br />

of before we could talk about the<br />

actual issues. <strong>The</strong>y were things<br />

like we should sweep it under the<br />

rug, because if we talk to young<br />

people about suicide it might<br />

plant the seed of suicide in their<br />

mind. We also have to bring<br />

down the stigma that you should<br />

feel ashamed if someone in your<br />

family has taken their own life.<br />

We need to communicate with<br />

our young people and our elders<br />

that it’s okay to talk about it and<br />

there is no shame in it, because<br />

we are all going through hard<br />

times. <strong>The</strong> next question is, how<br />

do you talk to people about it?<br />

That’s what we’re trying now<br />

to impart to our Pasifika community.<br />

and battling suicide earns youth award<br />

That must be particularly important<br />

since the earthquakes?<br />

Definitely. We’re over-represented<br />

when it comes to things<br />

like mental health problems and<br />

depression. A lot of our Pasifika<br />

young people and community<br />

live on the east side, and a lot of<br />

us in the red zone felt we were<br />

treated unfairly – not myself personally,<br />

but it’s something I hear<br />

a lot. It took a long time for the<br />

Canterbury rebuild to make its<br />

way to the east side, for our roads<br />

to be fixed, for our houses to be<br />

fixed. <strong>The</strong> feeling was, does our<br />

city really care about us, when<br />

it looked like the more well-off<br />

on the other side of the city were<br />

being taken care of first.<br />

So what was the experience at<br />

Parliament like?<br />

It was fantastic. We met with<br />

National MP Nuk Korako and<br />

went to the gallery in Parliament<br />

to watch David Cunliffe’s valedictory<br />

speech, which was awesome.<br />

It was actually my second time<br />

going to Parliament, but the first<br />

time going with my mum and my<br />

sister, which was fantastic to do.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best thing was that child-like<br />

feeling, when I looked at my<br />

mum and thought, yes, my mum<br />

thinks I’m cool. In terms of the<br />

community work I do, I guess my<br />

friends and family know what I<br />

do, but I don’t really talk in depth<br />

about it. For my family, the only<br />

time they really hear what I do is<br />

when I get an award, so it’s pretty<br />

special. And I’m a ‘mumma’s<br />

boy’, so I just think if my mum<br />

thinks I’m cool, I’m doing something<br />

right in my life.<br />

If it was your second time at<br />

Parliament, when was the first?<br />

I was part of a group presenting<br />

to the Standing Orders Select<br />

Committee, which sets the rules<br />

that dictate how Parliament runs.<br />

We went there saying if you want<br />

more young people to vote and<br />

be involved in democracy, you<br />

need to make changes. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />

things like better utilisation of<br />

Parliament TV and being able<br />

to use your cellphones in Parliament.<br />

And tell me a bit about your<br />

life and interests outside of this<br />

work?<br />

To be honest, this takes a lot of<br />

my life, and I really enjoy doing<br />

MAY<br />

this. But I do have other interests.<br />

I play rugby for the Sumner<br />

division 1 team. I’ve always loved<br />

rugby. And I’m an engineering<br />

student at Canterbury University,<br />

currently second year in the civil<br />

engineering department. Hopefully,<br />

I should be done next year.<br />

So you’re planning a career as<br />

an engineer?<br />

I still haven’t fully figured out<br />

what kind of engineering I want<br />

to do, but long term, yes, I want<br />

to be a civil engineer. Short term,<br />

I would love to travel, maybe<br />

use the fact I can play rugby to<br />

see the world, if I could play for<br />

a European team somewhere.<br />

I’d like to widen my experience<br />

and then bring that back home.<br />

But short and long term, I want<br />

to keep working for my Pasifika<br />

young people, in whatever capacity<br />

I’m in.<br />

And for the average person on<br />

the street, is there anything we<br />

can do day-to-day to help fight<br />

suicide and mental illness?<br />

It seems like such an airy-fairy<br />

answer, but just a smile and a<br />

bit of kindness goes a long way.<br />

Having the courage to step out<br />

in faith and ask someone if they<br />

are okay, even if you don’t know<br />

them, whether it’s an outlier in<br />

a crowd, or if it’s a friend who<br />

seems to be acting a tiny bit different.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se are signs, invitations<br />

we call them, to go and talk to<br />

them. Ask them, are you okay?<br />

But at the same time, don’t expect<br />

to be the answer and save their<br />

life, just be there to listen and to<br />

guide them to an actual professional<br />

or counsellor. Don’t feel<br />

the burden, because if something<br />

does go wrong it’s not your fault.<br />

Whatever you can give to a person,<br />

your time or your presence,<br />

is enough.<br />

Free weekend car parks<br />

in central city mooted<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

FREE CAR parking in<br />

the weekends is being<br />

investigated in a bid to<br />

bring more people back<br />

into the central city.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council is looking<br />

into whether free car<br />

parking could be offered<br />

on the weekends in the<br />

central city as an enticement.<br />

City council transport<br />

operations manager Aaron<br />

Haymes said it was considering<br />

temporary free parking,<br />

but it had not made a<br />

final decision.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> car parks would be<br />

council controlled parks<br />

but the locations are still<br />

under consideration.”<br />

He said it would make<br />

a decision within the next<br />

Aaron Haymes<br />

few weeks after consultation<br />

with businesses and<br />

other parking stakeholders.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re had been substantial<br />

private investment in<br />

car parking buildings, so<br />

it was important not to<br />

undermine that, he said.<br />

City councillor Deon<br />

Swiggs asked staff to<br />

look into it.<br />

“It’s about getting people<br />

back to the central city to<br />

try it out. If they have a<br />

good experience, they will<br />

come back again.”<br />

Central City Business<br />

Association chairman<br />

Brendan Chase said the<br />

idea came up at a summit<br />

the association held and<br />

it would be good for business.<br />

He said another idea was<br />

if someone bought something<br />

at a shop or cafe, they<br />

could be reimbursed for<br />

their car parking fee, or<br />

could get a free ride home<br />

on public transport.<br />

More people were returning<br />

to the central city,<br />

and it was only going to<br />

improve, he said.<br />

Students study life on Mars<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

WHEN THE time comes<br />

to pack our bags and head<br />

for Mars, Christchurch<br />

youths will be wellprepared.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ara Institute of Canterbury<br />

is hosting a series<br />

of workshops to teach high<br />

school students how to get<br />

to Mars, and how to survive<br />

when they’re there.<br />

And though it may raise<br />

a few eyebrows, living on<br />

Mars is not that far off<br />

according to National<br />

Aeronautics and Space<br />

Administration.<br />

NASA predicts a crew,<br />

called Daedalus, will<br />

make the nine-month trip<br />

to Mars in the <strong>20</strong>30s to<br />

establish shelter, food and<br />

water sources for future<br />

newcomers.<br />

So in New Zealand’s July<br />

holidays, Ara will be teaching<br />

high school students all<br />

the necessary knowledge<br />

on how to be a good Mars<br />

resident.<br />

At 96 per cent carbon<br />

dioxide and just one per<br />

cent oxygen, the air on<br />

Mars is unbreathable, so<br />

the Daedalus crew will use<br />

electrolosis to convert carbon<br />

dioxide into oxygen.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will also establish a<br />

hospitable shelter to protect<br />

humans from the temperature<br />

extremes Mars<br />

displays, along with hydroponic<br />

farming and other<br />

methods to grow food.

Parasites could cure<br />

gluten allergies<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

ABOUT <strong>20</strong> brave<br />

Cantabrians have<br />

volunteered to be infected<br />

with hookworm parasites<br />

– in an effort to find a cure<br />

for coeliac disease.<br />

An<br />

Australian<br />

pilot study<br />

discovered<br />

people with<br />

severe gluten<br />

allergies<br />

Richard<br />

Gearry<br />

who were<br />

also infected<br />

with<br />

hookworms<br />

did not have reactions<br />

when they ate gluten.<br />

A group of Christchurch<br />

researchers have just received<br />

a $<strong>20</strong>,000 from the<br />

Lottery Grants Board to<br />

start a similar trial.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y hope to find out exactly<br />

how the hookworms<br />

prevent the allergic reactions,<br />

so they can turn that<br />

substance into a pill.<br />

Otago University<br />

gastroenterology professor<br />

Richard Gearry said<br />

extreme cases of coeliac<br />

disease could have a major<br />

impact on people’s quality<br />

of life, and he was hopeful<br />

the trial could help find a<br />

cure.<br />

But even if a cure was<br />

discovered, he said it<br />

would take a long time to<br />

reach shelves.<br />

“We are talking years,<br />

because the pipeline for<br />

a new drug is at least 10<br />

years,” he said.<br />

Severe hookworm infections<br />

can cause problems<br />

like iron deficiencies, but<br />

he said there were very few<br />

risks when the infection<br />

STUDY:<br />

Researchers<br />

hope to<br />

find out how<br />

hookworms<br />

prevent<br />

allergic<br />

reactions.<br />

was controlled.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new grant, which<br />

was organised through<br />

the Bowel and Liver Trust,<br />

will allow them to do more<br />

specific research on the<br />

microbes in the samples,<br />

which could lead to other<br />

angles on the work.<br />

He said about 70 Cantabrians<br />

had gone to an<br />

information evening last<br />

month, and about <strong>20</strong> had<br />

joined the trial.<br />

Spaces are still available<br />

in the trial programme.<br />

War brewing over memorial relocation<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

A MEMORIAL commemorating<br />

Cantabrians who died in World<br />

War 1 is embroiled in the Christ<br />

Church Cathedral saga – and the<br />

central city RSA has had enough.<br />

Christchurch Memorial RSA<br />

is about to begin discussions<br />

with the city council to have the<br />

cenotaph moved to Cranmer<br />

Square before it deteriorates any<br />

further.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Citizens’ War<br />

Memorial currently sits on<br />

Anglican Diocese land next<br />

to the Cathedral, but it is the<br />

responsibility of the city council.<br />

It has been fenced off since the<br />

February 22, <strong>20</strong>11, earthquake.<br />

RSA president Pete Dawson<br />

said they wanted it moved<br />

in time for Armistice Day<br />

commemorations next year –<br />

which will mark a century since<br />

World War 1 ended.<br />

“If we rely on the Government<br />

and the church to get action<br />

here, we’ll be waiting forever,”<br />

he said.<br />

“We’re going to be engaging<br />

with the council shortly.”<br />

He said Cathedral Square was<br />

not suitable to hold the Anzac<br />

Day dawn service anymore<br />

URGENT: Paul O’Connor is spearheading a project to have the Citizens’ War Memorial moved to<br />

Cranmer Square.<br />

because it was too small.<br />

Cranmer Square, where the<br />

commemorations are now held,<br />

had significance because it was a<br />

military camp during the Great<br />

War.<br />

<strong>The</strong> diocese is allowed to<br />

request the cenotaph be moved,<br />

but it would need to get resource<br />

consent.<br />

A Church Property Trust<br />

spokesman said it would respect<br />

any decision agreed by the city<br />

council and other stakeholders<br />

about the cenotaph’s future.<br />

Paul O’Connor, who is helping<br />

with the moving project, said the<br />

cenotaph was “in the shadow of<br />

that shambles of a Cathedral.”<br />

“It’s the wider Canterbury<br />

memorial to all of those who lost<br />

their lives and we’re treating it<br />

poorly.”<br />

City council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge said there was<br />

no budget to move the cenotaph,<br />

and it had no plans to do so at<br />

this stage.<br />

Trail will be an asset<br />

CANTABRIANS will soon be<br />

able to enjoy a riverside trail<br />

running along the banks of<br />

the Avon River through the<br />

residential red zone.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 12km transitional Avon<br />

Trail will open in stages from<br />

spring and will allow Cantabrians<br />

and city visitors to walk, run or<br />

cycle from Barbadoes St in the<br />

central city to Pages Rd in New<br />

Brighton.<br />

<strong>The</strong> whole trail will be completed<br />

and open by early next year.<br />

Construction of the first section<br />

of Avon Trail will start this<br />

month from Retreat Rd/Avonside<br />

Dr through to the Gayhurst Rd<br />

Bridge.<br />

<strong>The</strong> trail will be prepared at<br />

the same time as the upgrade of<br />

the temporary stop banks. By<br />

smoothing the top of the stop<br />

banks and adding a fine gravel<br />

surface, the trail will be suitable<br />

for a wide range of uses.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Avon-Otakoro Network is<br />

leading the project, and community<br />

volunteers will help prepare<br />

some sections of the trail. Regenerate<br />

Christchurch has been helping<br />

co-ordinate the work, and<br />

funding has been provided by the<br />

Ministry of Social Development<br />

to the Avon-Otakoro Network.<br />

Gerry Brownlee<br />

Now that the former red zone<br />

has mostly been cleared and<br />

grassed, we can see the potential<br />

of the river corridor.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Avon Trail is an opportunity<br />

for the public to explore this<br />

area, and I encourage everyone<br />

to do so.<br />

It is an exciting asset for Christchurch,<br />

and an innovative way to<br />

get Cantabrians moving from the<br />

city to the sea.<br />

<strong>The</strong> trail is great news for our<br />

city, and will help to promote the<br />

regeneration of New Brighton. It<br />

will allow everyone easy access to<br />

the lower Avon and surrounding<br />

red zone.<br />

<strong>The</strong> transitional trail will remain<br />

in use for at least two years,<br />

as the larger regeneration operation<br />

unfolds around it. Further<br />

opportunities for a permanent<br />

connection from the city to the<br />

sea will be explored later.<br />

This is an important area of<br />

regeneration, and will impact<br />

Christchurch’s future. It is the<br />

first step in creating a peoplefriendly,<br />

green space in our city.<br />

•Gerry Brownlee is<br />

Minister supporting Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />

•Megan Woods, p23<br />

Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

reported the city council<br />

was looking at setting up<br />

an online hub that had<br />

information for residents<br />

and visitors about<br />

Christchurch as part of the<br />

Smart Cities programme.<br />

Peter Parr, of Southbridge –<br />

At last I’ve come to understand<br />

that the city council believes,<br />

and rightly so, that the public is<br />

stupid, ignorant, unobservant<br />

and gullible.<br />

We’re to get new technologies<br />

with an online hub where we can<br />

get all the information we need<br />

about Christchurch (<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

<strong>April</strong> 13). It’s all in the wording,<br />

‘info we need’ not what we may<br />

actually want – like what the city<br />

council is planning, actually doing<br />

or spends our rates on.<br />

<strong>The</strong> council wrote to me “red<br />

arrow protections is required<br />

when either pedestrians or cyclists<br />

are using the crossing.” Sounds<br />

straight forward but ‘are using’<br />

is not true. In reality the aforementioned<br />

phantom crossers get<br />

an auto green at the expense of<br />

real vehicles waiting to turn. No<br />

wonder we have traffic problems<br />

and frustrated drivers.<br />

I asked the council if the new<br />

Riccarton Rd/Ave light set-up<br />

would be used as a template for<br />

the rest of Christchurch. <strong>The</strong><br />

answer was no, that was true<br />

because the city was/is already<br />

being set-up with red-lighting<br />

actual traffic so non-existent<br />

cyclists can have an auto green<br />

light.<br />

<strong>The</strong> council man claimed a<br />

‘max of 66 vehicles an hour’ turn<br />

right, (east) off Deans to Riccarton<br />

Ave but said they don’t<br />

know how many bikes go north/<br />

south. Interesting that another<br />

newspaper quoted the city council<br />

as claiming 1300 cyclists use<br />

the Hagley Park route each week<br />

day, maybe the new ‘online hub’<br />

will know the real figure.<br />

Will our ‘new hub’ have how<br />

much the city council has spent<br />

on cycle lanes over the last few<br />

years and how much is budgeted<br />

in the next several, will they be<br />

toll-ways to recoup the cost?<br />

Will the new hub have the<br />

number of cars, adult cyclists,<br />

electric vehicles use the likes of<br />

Colombo St, Papanui Rd, Riccarton<br />

Rd and St Asaph Sts?<br />

So many questions but we’ll<br />

have to wait on the answers.<br />

Hard fight for fair wage<br />

TAKE A bow, Kristine<br />

Bartlett.<br />

Your courage, perseverance<br />

and determination to<br />

fight for a fair wage have<br />

made a huge difference to<br />

lives of thousands of workers.<br />

But, as you are the first<br />

to remind everyone, you<br />

did not do this as a lone<br />

individual.<br />

It was your workmates<br />

through your union which<br />

banded together with<br />

you to take a stand that<br />

is life-changing for the<br />

55,000 mainly women care<br />

workers it affects. You are<br />

modern day heroes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> road to this settlement<br />

has not been easy. It<br />

started back in <strong>20</strong>12 when<br />

Kristine, an aged-care<br />

worker from Upper Hutt<br />

fronted union legal action<br />

against her employer TerraNova.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pay equity claim<br />

brought by E Tū (previously<br />

the Service and Food<br />

Workers Union) argued<br />

that her employer was<br />

under-paying staff because<br />

of the high percentage of<br />

female employees.<br />

It is the first legal<br />

settlement in New Zealand<br />

which recognises that<br />

some jobs pay less because<br />

they are done mainly by<br />

women.<br />

This claim was fought<br />

in the courts by powerful<br />

interests. <strong>The</strong> Government<br />

itself had lawyers at each<br />

appeal stage of the original<br />

case opposing lower court<br />

decisions.<br />

Throughout the five<br />

years, Kristine and her<br />

union have told the<br />

story of a group of mainly<br />

women who dreaded getting<br />

sick because they can’t<br />

afford to go to the doctor,<br />

who come to work without<br />

food, who walk to work in<br />

the rain because they don’t<br />

have the bus fare.<br />

All the while we were<br />

expecting these women to<br />

do incredibly important<br />

work caring for some of<br />

the most vulnerable in our<br />

society. This simply was<br />

not fair.<br />

So, this week we have<br />

seen a victory for what<br />

is right and the power of<br />

banding together to stand<br />

up for those rights. For the<br />

<strong>20</strong>,000 workers currently<br />

on the minimum wage of<br />

$15.75 per hour, on July 1<br />

they will move to at least<br />

$19 per hour.<br />

For a full-time worker,<br />

this means they will be<br />

taking home around an<br />

extra $100 a week, which<br />

is over $5000 a year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

Essential Guide to China’s<br />

“Two Sessions”<br />

<strong>The</strong> annual political sessions in China have drawn worldwide<br />

attention as the fifth sessions of the 12th National People’s Congress<br />

(NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference<br />

(CPPCC), known as the “two sessions”(Lianghui), concluded in<br />

March. However, the “two sessions”, and what they entail, are not fully<br />

understood by many Chinese and overseas observers.<br />

“TWO SESSIONS” IN CHINA’S POLITICAL CALENDAR<br />

<strong>The</strong> term “two<br />

sessions” refers to the<br />

plenary sessions of<br />

the National People’s<br />

Congress (NPC)<br />

and the National<br />

Committee of the<br />

Chinese People’s<br />

Political Consultative<br />

Conference (CPPCC).<br />

<strong>The</strong> two are held in<br />

early March every<br />

year. Those formal<br />

but wordy titles are difficult to remember, even for Chinese speakers,<br />

therefore, the Chinese moniker “two sessions” (lianghui) was coined.<br />

More than 5000 NPC deputies and members of CPPCC National<br />

Committee attend the sessions. Among them, are top leaders,<br />

renowned economists, entrepreneurs, artists and sportsmen and<br />

representatives from all walks of life. NPC deputies can submit<br />

motions, which are legally binding once adopted, while members of<br />

the CPPCC National Committee can only put forward no-binding<br />

proposals. During the sessions, the central government will reveal<br />

its annual work report, which includes the official gross domestic<br />

product (GDP) forecast as well as information on other major<br />

policies.<br />

NPC AS THE SuPREmE ORgAN Of STATE POWER<br />

According to the Constitution, the NPC is the fundamental political<br />

system in China, with about 2.6 million deputies at various levels.<br />

At the pinnacle of the system sits the NPC which exercises more<br />

than a dozen functions and powers, including the supervision of<br />

the enforcement of the constitution. <strong>The</strong> central government, the<br />

Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate<br />

answer to the NPC and are supervised by it. <strong>The</strong> NPC Standing<br />

Committee, a permanent body of the NPC has been active in<br />

inspecting whether governments comply with the law. In <strong>20</strong>16, it<br />

conducted six inspections, covering about 30 provinces, autonomous<br />

regions and municipalities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NPC representatives include people from various backgrounds<br />

and cover a good cross-section of society. Direct election applies<br />

in the selection of township and county-level deputies, while the<br />

deputies at the prefecture, provincial and national levels are elected<br />

by lower level deputies.<br />

NPC deputies at various levels are key channels for community<br />

voices, reflecting local opinions and problems and enabling people<br />

to be masters of the nation. Deputies are both entitled and obliged to<br />

stand for the people’s interests and express their requests.<br />

NPC deputies are not divided into different caucuses according to<br />

party background but into 35 delegations based on where they are<br />

elected from, including 31 provinces, autonomous regions and<br />

municipalities, in addition to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the<br />

military. Such an arrangement is pragmatic, given China’s large<br />

territory and huge population, and ensures that NPC deputies are<br />

true representatives of the people.<br />

Though they are part-time, NPC deputies are actively engaged in state<br />

affairs. At the annual full session, they review and vote on important<br />

legal documents and personnel changes, including electing president<br />

and vice president of China every five years, as well as submit<br />

motions and proposals. Since <strong>20</strong>05, around 500 motions have been<br />

submitted by deputies to every annual session of the NPC. When not<br />

in session, they interact with the people, take up training programs,<br />

and participate in inspections of law enforcement and surveys on<br />

important or urgent issues.<br />

OuTCOmE Of NPC ANNuAL SESSION<br />

This year, among 2,838 NPC deputies present at the closing meeting<br />

of NPC annual session, 2,812 voted in favor of the government work<br />

report; 2,793 for the work report of the NPC Standing Committee;<br />

2,606 for the work report of the Supreme People’s Court; and 2,606<br />

for the work report of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.<br />

Lawmakers also approved the General Provisions of the Civil Law, the<br />

decision on the quota and election of deputies to the next 13th NPC<br />

to be convened from <strong>20</strong>18, and the methods for electing deputies to<br />

the 13th NPC from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative<br />

regions. Other documents approved by the lawmakers included the<br />

<strong>20</strong>17 national economic and social development plan, and the <strong>20</strong>17<br />

central and local budgets.<br />

CPPCC AS TOP POLITICAL ADvISORy bODy<br />

<strong>The</strong> CPPCC is an important platform on which various political<br />

parties, people’s organizations, and people of all ethnic groups and<br />

from all sectors of society work together democratically participating<br />

in state affairs. As China’s top political advisory body, CPPCC<br />

facilitates China’s multiparty cooperation and political consultation<br />

mechanism.<br />

<strong>The</strong> main functions of the CPPCC are to conduct political<br />

consultation, exercise democratic supervision and participate in the<br />

discussion and the handling of state affairs. Political consultation<br />

covers major principles and policies proposed by the central and<br />

local governments and matters of importance concerning political,<br />

economic, cultural and social affairs. Democratic supervision means<br />

offering suggestion and criticism, as well as supervision over the<br />

implementation of the Constitution, other laws, regulations and<br />

major policies, and over the work of government agencies and their<br />

functionaries.<br />

CPPCC members come from China’s various walks of life and ethnic<br />

groups. Most of the CPPCC members are experienced political<br />

figures, social celebrities, and experts and scholars specializing in<br />

various fields.<br />

SETTINg ACHIEvAbLE gROWTH TARgET<br />

One of the most important agendas of “two sessions” is revealing the<br />

government work report. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in delivering<br />

government work report pledged to continue reforms to attain<br />

the economic growth target of about 6.5 percent this year despite<br />

challenges ahead. <strong>The</strong> realistic growth target this year will help steer<br />

and steady expectations and make structural adjustments as well as<br />

help achieve the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in<br />

all respects by <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>.<br />

Last year, China’s GDP reached<br />

74.4 trillion yuan (10.8 trillion<br />

U.S. dollars), a 6.7-percent<br />

growth, outpacing most other<br />

economies and contributing<br />

more than 30 percent of global<br />

growth. Despite challenges,<br />

China created 13.14 million<br />

urban jobs and increased per<br />

capita disposable income by<br />

6.3 percent. About 12.4 million<br />

people shook off poverty.<br />

Premier Li announced that in <strong>20</strong>17, China will keep its CPI increase<br />

at around 3 percent, and create more than 11 million urban jobs<br />

with a registered urban unemployment rate within 4.5 percent. <strong>The</strong><br />

country will also reduce its energy consumption per unit of GDP by<br />

at least 3.4 percent. Noting that China must be ready to face more<br />

complicated and graver situations including sluggish world economic<br />

growth and growing trend of protectionism, Li expressed his<br />

confidence that difficulties will be overcome as the country has a solid<br />

material foundation, abundant human resources, a huge market, and<br />

a complete system of industries.<br />

This advertorial page is supported by <strong>The</strong> Chinese Consulate<br />

ACCELERATINg SuPPLy-SIDE STRuCTuRAL REfORm<br />

According to the government work report, efforts of supplyside<br />

structural reform will center on a variety of areas, including<br />

streamlining administration, reducing taxes, further expanding<br />

market access, and reducing ineffective supply while expanding<br />

effective supply. To be specific, China will further reduce steel<br />

production capacity by around 50 million metric tons and coal<br />

capacity by at least 150 million metric tons this year. It also highlighted<br />

cutting excess urban real estate inventory, bringing down the leverage<br />

of enterprises, reducing costs for enterprises and strengthening areas<br />

of weakness including poverty eradication.<br />

fuRTHER OPENINg-uP<br />

Leaning against the anti-globalization headwinds, the Chinese<br />

government emphasized the need to further open up the economy<br />

and attract foreign investment. While joining a panel discussion<br />

during the “two sessions”, President Xi Jinping vowed the country<br />

would keep on opening up on all fronts. Premier Li Keqiang also<br />

detailed unprecedented opening-up measures to the outside world in<br />

the government work report.<br />

According to the report, significant improvements will be made<br />

in the environment for foreign investment. Service industries,<br />

manufacturing and mining will be more open to foreign investment.<br />

Foreign firms will be able to get listed on China’s stock markets and<br />

issue bonds. <strong>The</strong>y will also be allowed to participate in national science<br />

and technology projects. Foreign firms will be treated the same as<br />

domestic firms in<br />

license applications,<br />

standards setting,<br />

and government<br />

procurement, and<br />

will enjoy the same<br />

preferential policies<br />

under the Made in<br />

China <strong>20</strong>25 initiative,<br />

a plan to modernize<br />

the manufacturing<br />

sector.<br />

Moreover, China will open its door wider and import more products<br />

and technologies from overseas. And China will extend the practice<br />

of processing international trade through a single window, which<br />

enables cross-border traders to submit regulatory documents at a<br />

single location and thus improves efficiency. <strong>The</strong> authorities will<br />

achieve nationwide integration of customs clearance procedures this<br />

year.<br />

SAfEguARDINg PEACE AND STAbILITy IN ASIA-PACIfIC<br />

At a press conference after the conclusion of the “two sessions”,<br />

Premier Li Keqiang stressed China hopes to see continued peace and<br />

stability in the Asia-Pacific region. He said Asia-Pacific is the common<br />

home for all countries in this region, and China does not want to see<br />

any party feeling compelled to choose sides under the influence of the<br />

Cold War mentality. China hopes that the Asia-Pacific region will be<br />

one that enjoys good order and stability, a region that is able to work<br />

out issues through consultation and principles, properly manage<br />

differences and has the wisdom to resolve differences.<br />

Premier Li mentioned China and ASEAN have been pushing<br />

forward consultation on the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South<br />

China Sea, and substantial<br />

progress has been made in<br />

this regard. China hopes<br />

to see continued peace<br />

and stability in the South<br />

China Sea, believing<br />

that specific disputes<br />

should be addressed and<br />

resolved through dialogue<br />

among the parties directly<br />

concerned.<br />

He also stressed that China<br />

and the United States have<br />

been cooperating with each other for a long time in the Asia-Pacific<br />

region, and there is a wide area of common interests and cooperation<br />

between the two countries. Many U.S. multinationals have placed<br />

their Asia-Pacific headquarters in China. He hopes the areas of<br />

cooperation between the two countries will continue to expand.

Visiting the mystical city of Edoras<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />

.kiwi<br />

Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>17<br />

IT’S THE type of scenery that<br />

screensavers are made for – Mt<br />

Sunday, deep in the heart of the<br />

Canterbury high country.<br />

I always find it fascinating to<br />

experience your own turf through<br />

the lens of a tourist, gleaning fresh<br />

perspectives from the outside<br />

world on the place you call home.<br />

Better known to movie-fans<br />

as the mystical city of Edoras, I<br />

recently joined a guided journey<br />

to this spectacular cinematic location<br />

with Hassle-free Tours.<br />

Heading south of Christchurch,<br />

in a comfortable six-wheel Toyota<br />

Land Cruiser, with elevated seating<br />

and panoramic windows, our<br />

driver-guide, Hammond, set sail<br />

on his illuminating, chatty commentary<br />

on the two-hour drive.<br />

We entered the Hakatere<br />

Conservation Park, flanked by<br />

the alpine lakes of Camp and<br />

Clearwater and their tight cluster<br />

of rustic batches. A quick photostop<br />

to soak up the expansive<br />

high country vistas served merely<br />

as an appetiser for the majesty<br />

that lay ahead.<br />

On a heavily rutted gravel<br />

Hakatere-Potts Rd, bracketed<br />

in golden hills of snow tussock,<br />

matagouri and toetoe, the most<br />

celestial viewpoint appeared at<br />

the Mt Potts Cutting, stretching<br />

across the broad basin of the<br />

Rangitata Valley, buttressed by<br />

heroically high mountains and<br />

sheer cliffs.<br />

Welcome to the Kingdom of<br />

Rohan. Much of the land belongs<br />

to Mt Potts Station, however, in<br />

the wake of the Lord of the Ringsinspired<br />

popularity, DOC created<br />

an easement to Mt Sunday aka<br />

Edoras.<br />

From the public car park, it’s a<br />

15min walk up the southern spur<br />

of Mt Sunday. However, one of<br />

the many advantages of taking<br />

the journey with Hassle-free<br />

Tours is that it is the only operator<br />

with a concession to drive past<br />

the car park, fording the gin-clear<br />

streams and up part of the mountain,<br />

using the rutted track on the<br />

northern spur, which the land<br />

cruiser made light work of.<br />

From there, it’s a rather effortless<br />

stroll to the summit. Sixhundred<br />

metres above sea level,<br />

this rocky, protruding jewel in the<br />

MAJESTIC: Rutted gravel<br />

roads are no problem to the<br />

Hassle-free Land Cruiser.<br />

(Below) – Mt Sunday and the<br />

Rohan sword.<br />

middle of this insanely photogenic<br />

valley beckoned us like a<br />

beacon. After we’d mounted the<br />

summit, the 360deg alpine panorama<br />

is so enthrallingly kaleidoscopic,<br />

so jaw-droppingly epic,<br />

not even a month of Sundays<br />

basking in this perspective would<br />

become boring.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s Erewhon Station of<br />

Clydesdales-fame, the serpentine<br />

braids of the Rangitata River, the<br />

Southern Alps, the expansive valley<br />

plain and the silvery, slinking<br />

trail of Potts River. <strong>The</strong> air was<br />

so crisp and clear, the mountains<br />

seemed magnified, with their<br />

sharp edges and spectacular<br />

shingle fans.<br />

Only the sound of happilyclicking<br />

shutters, competed<br />

against the strengthening howls<br />

of the wind. <strong>The</strong> wind-speed<br />

reached 72km/h as we took in the<br />

summit spectacle and endured an<br />

involuntary facial exfoliation.<br />

Notorious for wind gusts, Hammond<br />

remarked that at the time<br />

of shooting, the Rings crew were<br />

buffeted by wind gusts as high as<br />

180km/h. <strong>The</strong> real beauty of the<br />

Hassle-free tour is all the insightful<br />

behind-the-scenes nuggets.<br />

On one particularly windy day,<br />

Sir Peter Jackson’s glasses flew off<br />

his face, over the cliff, never to be<br />

seen again. <strong>The</strong>re’s a movie relic<br />

Sir Peter stumbled upon this<br />

cinematic location by sheer accident.<br />

His location scouts were<br />

choppering down to the West<br />

Coast, but were forced to fly east<br />

due to bad weather, chancing<br />

upon Mt Sunday by a stroke of<br />

sheer luck. Many of the riders<br />

of Rohan were actually women<br />

from the local pony clubs in mid-<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Hammond also explained how<br />

the construction of the city of<br />

Edoras took nine months, showing<br />

us photos of the elaborate sets,<br />

including Golden Hall, which<br />

graced this rocky outcrop. <strong>The</strong><br />

cast and crew only spent 11 days<br />

actually shooting on sight.<br />

In spite of the alpine location,<br />

miraculously, they didn’t see one<br />

drop of rain. Hammond also was<br />

equipped with an arsenal of replica<br />

weaponry and flags from the<br />

movie, which we had great fun<br />

posing with for obligatory photos.<br />

A variety of movie featurettes<br />

were played to our group, including<br />

some cracking bloopers.<br />

What really shone through was<br />

how much the cast genuinely fell<br />

in love with Mt Sunday. Driving<br />

back to Christchurch, Hammond<br />

finally revealed that he was Hammond<br />

ANZAC DAY, TUESDAY APRIL 25<br />

Honour and respect<br />

On <strong>April</strong> 25, 1915 New Zealand and<br />

Australian troops landed on the Gallipoli<br />

Peninsula in Turkey in a bloody campaign<br />

that saw 2779 New Zealanders give their<br />

lives as well as over 100,000 Turkish,<br />

British, French and Australian servicemen.<br />

As news of the terrible events reached<br />

New Zealand, there was an outpouring of<br />

national pride in the courage shown by our<br />

soldiers in the face of appalling adversity<br />

and sacrifice.<br />

That pride continues today. Since most<br />

of those who died on <strong>April</strong> 25 have no<br />

known grave they are commemorated<br />

instead on the Lone Pine Memorial on the<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

School Old Boys’ Association<br />

in conjunction with<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />

will hold an<br />

Anzac Memorial Service<br />

at 10am.<br />

Please be seated by 9.50am<br />

Gallipoli Peninsula, and their names are<br />

remembered forever on war memorials<br />

Anzac Day has come to symbolise the<br />

respect of the nation for all those killed in<br />

war, and also honours returned servicemen<br />

and women. In Christchurch, our local<br />

communities from Akaroa to Wigram Air<br />

Force Museum are marking the event. This<br />

year, the city’s Dawn Service begins at 6am<br />

in Cranmer Square with the traditional<br />

parade, a service and wreath-laying<br />

ceremony. A citizens’ service will be held<br />

at the Transitional Cathedral in Latimer<br />

Square at 10am.<br />

<strong>The</strong> resiliance of the Kiwi spirit is marked<br />

on <strong>April</strong> 25 and reflected in the symbols of<br />

courage such as the Bridge of Remembrance<br />

and the Citizen’s Memorial in Cathedral<br />

Square. <strong>The</strong>y are important symbols for<br />

Playwright explores young Kiwis’<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

HIGH SCHOOL students<br />

immersed in the performing<br />

arts will examine one of New<br />

Zealand’s most significant<br />

battles with an award-winning<br />

playwright.<br />

With<br />

Anzac Day<br />

around the<br />

corner, playwright<br />

Dave<br />

Armstrong<br />

will host<br />

a one-off<br />

workshop<br />

Dave<br />

Armstrong<br />

with about<br />

15 students<br />

from across<br />

the city studying a play focusing<br />

on the Gallipoli campaign.<br />

Students involved in<br />

<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre’s youth<br />

programmes will study Armstrong’s<br />

play Anzac Eve with<br />

the playwright. It delves into<br />

young New Zealanders’ views<br />

on the Gallipoli commemorations.<br />

As well as a playwright,<br />

Armstrong is a screenwriter,<br />

trumpet player and columnist<br />

who has had work feature on<br />

stage, radio and television.<br />

Anzac Eve is a modern-day<br />

comedy telling the story of<br />

four opinionated young adults<br />

who meet the night before the<br />

dawn commemorations at<br />

Gallipoli.<br />

As well as focusing on the<br />

historic material in the show,<br />

students will study key techniques<br />

behind acting.<br />

“We will also have a chance<br />

to talk about acting and how<br />

our actors perform a role and<br />

digest all this information and<br />

turn it into a play,” Armstrong<br />

said.<br />

He said he wrote the play<br />

because he felt the country<br />

needed to look at Anzac Day<br />

through different viewpoints<br />

and was interested to know<br />

what it meant to younger<br />

people.<br />

“When I was growing up<br />

in the 1970s, I didn’t want to<br />

know about it basically. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

was the Vietnam War on. <strong>The</strong><br />

people I knew were very anti-<br />

military and I had little interest<br />

in Anzac Day,” he said.<br />

But with both of his grandfathers<br />

taking part in World<br />

War 1 and Armstrong joining<br />

a military band, he said he<br />

soon became interested.<br />

His maternal grandfather,<br />

Albert Turner, was wounded<br />

during the Battle of the<br />

Somme, while his paternal<br />

grandfather, John Armstrong,<br />

was wounded in the leg.<br />

A Trip Down Memory Lane with<br />

the New Zealand Army Band<br />

On the 30th of <strong>April</strong> at<br />

4:00pm the world famous New<br />

Zealand Army Band is going<br />

to perform at “<strong>The</strong> Piano”, 156<br />

Armagh Street, Christchurch.<br />

This is the first time that the<br />

band has performed a concert<br />

in Christchurch since the<br />

successful 50th celebration<br />

concert in <strong>20</strong>14. New Zealand<br />

Army Band Bandmaster<br />

Warrant Officer Class Two<br />

Phillip Johnston is thrilled to<br />

be able to showcase the band’s<br />

talents locally in Christchurch’s<br />

latest performing arts venue<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Piano”.<br />

Warrant Officer<br />

Johnston said<br />

“the venue is<br />

ideally suited for<br />

a traditional brass<br />

band concert and<br />

it will be a great<br />

afternoon of music<br />

making”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NZArmy Band’s program<br />

will be a trip down memory<br />

lane as the programme features<br />

classic brass band repertoire<br />

such as Eric Ball’s Resurgam<br />

and Kingdom Triumphant.<br />

<strong>The</strong> band has six current New<br />

Zealand solo champions and<br />

will feature three of them<br />

during the<br />

concert. Private<br />

Kyle Lawson<br />

will perform<br />

Oasis, Lance<br />

Corporal<br />

Joe Thomas<br />

will perform<br />

Shenandoah<br />

and Sergeant<br />

Kevin Hickman<br />

will perform Ave Maria.<br />

As is appropriate with the<br />

concert being so close to<br />

ANZAC day, the band will also<br />

feature Fernleaf Headstones<br />

and Passchendaele.<br />

Both of these pieces<br />

were written for<br />

the band by past<br />

member, world<br />

renowned composer<br />

Dwayne Bloomfield.<br />

Fernleaf Headstones<br />

was written for<br />

the repatriation of<br />

the Unknown Warrior and<br />

Passchendaele depicts the<br />

tragic events of the Third Battle<br />

of Ypres, which to this day is<br />

still the most deadly day in New<br />

Zealand’s wartime history. <strong>The</strong><br />

programme is rounded off with<br />

a couple of classic hymns and<br />

of course it would not be an<br />

NZ Army Band<br />

concert without<br />

a march or two.<br />

Director of<br />

Music of the<br />

New Zealand<br />

Army Band<br />

Major Graham Hickman<br />

is excited to have the<br />

band performing such a<br />

traditional programme<br />

in their home town. “<strong>The</strong><br />

band is in a really strong<br />

position at the moment<br />

with so many fine players,<br />

including seven current<br />

members of the <strong>20</strong>17 National<br />

Youth Band and 14 current or<br />

past National Band members<br />

within the ranks”.<br />

“It was a massive thing on<br />

both sides of the family . . .<br />

one grandfather limped for<br />

the rest of his life and died<br />

quite young. <strong>The</strong> other had<br />

a chest wound and coughed<br />

every winter,” he said.<br />

Armstrong said Anzac Eve<br />

looks at why the country<br />

chooses to commemorate the<br />

war and what young New<br />

Zealanders were doing there<br />

in the first place.<br />

“I think it is time to start<br />

saying what the hell were we<br />

doing there, why were we<br />

there, why did such terrible<br />

defeats occur, how did we lose<br />

so many and are we in danger<br />

of this happening again?”<br />

More than 2700 New Zealanders<br />

died in the Gallipoli<br />

campaign.<br />

Armstrong said he feels<br />

some facts in war history have<br />

been “glossed over,” including<br />

how many French died in Gallipoli<br />

and how Maori soldiers<br />

were treated.<br />

Gardening<br />

What to grow<br />

near fruit trees<br />

<strong>The</strong> fascinating world of companion plants is<br />

one to explore. Rebecca Lees writes about<br />

how they can give your fruit trees a boost<br />

PEACH COMRADE: Tansy<br />

planted with ‘blackboy’<br />

peach tree. Tansy deters<br />

a raft of harmful flying<br />

insects and is an excellent<br />

companion for the fruit<br />

garden.<br />

COMPANION PLANTING is one<br />

of the most enjoyable things you can<br />

do in the fruit garden, especially if<br />

you begin with a blank canvas.<br />

Thanks to the interplanting of a<br />

host of companion plants under and<br />

around fruit trees, dull lifeless soil<br />

over time becomes full of organic<br />

matter, and alive with beneficial<br />

creatures crawling amongst it. <strong>The</strong><br />

soil, now more fertile and robust,<br />

can aid the trees’ growth and access<br />

to nutrients, as well as increase<br />

the ability for the trees (and wider<br />

garden area) to keep pests and<br />

disease in check.<br />

Companions aren’t a magic wand,<br />

there are plenty of other tasks a<br />

gardener undertakes to ensure fruit<br />

trees are healthy and productive, but<br />

they’re a great tool and one I’ll never<br />

go without.<br />

How does it work?<br />

Companion plants can:<br />

•Lure pests to them and in turn<br />

help keep those pests away from<br />

other susceptible plants.<br />

•Confuse pests by disturbing the<br />

visual and chemical attributes that<br />

help pests find host plants.<br />

•Attract predatory insects, which<br />

then naturally lower the pest count<br />

in your garden.<br />

Keep an eye out<br />

If you’re particularly observant<br />

you may witness companions<br />

working their magic. You may<br />

notice ladybirds, a predatory insect;<br />

FRUIT FRIEND: Stinging nettle<br />

attracts ladybirds, which eat<br />

aphids.<br />

or spot a praying mantis leaping<br />

out, catching and devouring a<br />

white butterfly. As your companion<br />

plants become established, it’s really<br />

exciting to see these things unfold in<br />

your garden.<br />

Bees<br />

Planting to encourage bees and<br />

other pollinators into the garden<br />

helps with fruit-tree pollination. Try<br />

to plant those which flower around<br />

the same time your fruit trees<br />

blossom. Some plants bees enjoy<br />

(which also benefit the fruit garden)<br />

include borage, rosemary, lemon<br />

balm, basil, coriander, thyme and<br />

lavender.<br />

Comfrey<br />

An outstanding companion plant<br />

for fruit trees, comfrey brings up<br />

nutrients from deep down in the<br />

subsoil and releases them as the<br />

leaves die back. I plant it around all<br />

my fruit trees. It will grow from a<br />

tiny piece of root – making it easy to<br />

propagate, but difficult to get rid of<br />

once you have it.<br />

Phacelia<br />

I sprinkle phacelia seeds wherever<br />

there is a space in my garden. <strong>The</strong><br />

flowers are rich in nectar, and the<br />

plant helps boost populations of<br />

predatory insects.<br />

Don’t plant grass<br />

Many orchard floors are covered<br />

in grass, with fruit trees, of all the<br />

same type, neatly planted in straight<br />

rows. This may seem pleasing to the<br />

eye, but it is a field day for pests, and<br />

can make it difficult for fruit trees to<br />

grow well. Couch grass, for instance,<br />

releases a growth inhibitor via its<br />

roots, and this can slow or even<br />

stunt the growth of many fruit trees.<br />

When you must plant grass<br />

Mix things up a bit to add<br />

diversity and other benefits. You<br />

could include nitrogen-fixing<br />

clovers, lucerne, dandelions,<br />

mustard, and allow nettles to grow<br />

also. Stinging nettle allowed to grow<br />

around fruit trees helps with fruit<br />

tree health in many ways, including<br />

being a host to predatory insects.<br />

To attract predators<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many plants which<br />

attracts predators to the garden,<br />

some to try include: Flowering<br />

parsnips, fennel, carraway, hyssop,<br />

lemon balm and dill. Let all of these<br />

plants flower.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

Christchurch<br />

Girls’ High School<br />

Te Kura o Hine Waiora<br />

At Christchurch Girls’ High School / Te<br />

Kura o Hine Waiora we believe each girl<br />

should be encouraged and guided to be all<br />

she can become. We want her to be aware<br />

of the myriad of possibilities that exist so<br />

that she can become confident, resilient<br />

and skilled; a young woman who stands<br />

proud and tall, in any context, who not<br />

only has a voice but something to say and<br />

who is able, to use the business metaphor,<br />

take a seat at any table she chooses.<br />

We believe we must educate, nurture<br />

and inspire young women. We wish to<br />

challenge our students to be discerning<br />

critical and creative thinkers, who are<br />

comfortable with the concepts of hard<br />

work and service. By providing a wide<br />

range of opportunities, both inside and<br />

National Secondary Schools<br />

Culinary Challenge, Gold Medal<br />

Young Enterprise Scheme,<br />

Excellence for Financial<br />

Management, Runner-up Winners<br />

for Canterbury Regional Competition<br />

outside the classroom, we want our<br />

students to mature as individuals.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Girls’ High School<br />

/ Te Kura o Hine Waiora vision ensures<br />

our young women appreciate the rich<br />

heritage of tradition, recognise the<br />

necessity of innovation and understand<br />

that excellence should be a part of all that<br />

they do. Young women who realise that<br />

“excellence is not an act but a habit.”<br />

We want a Christchurch Girls’ High<br />

graduate to remain open to possibility<br />

and seize opportunity so that her future is<br />

not predetermined by others. Instead, we<br />

want her to have the skills, qualifications<br />

and experiences that allow her the<br />

freedom to create her own destiny.<br />

Burnside High School<br />

Open Evening <strong>20</strong>17<br />

Burnside High School is pleased to<br />

invite members of the community to<br />

our Open Evening on Tuesday 16 May.<br />

We are well aware of the significance<br />

parents place on the transition from<br />

Primary or Intermediate to Secondary<br />

School and how important it is to<br />

make the right decision about this<br />

transition.<br />

Burnside High School is a large<br />

secondary school, a centre for academic<br />

excellence, with an outstanding record<br />

of academic, cultural and sporting<br />

success. <strong>The</strong> size of the school ensures<br />

that there is an exceptionally wide<br />

range of subjects and extra-curricular<br />

opportunities available. This provides<br />

flexibility for students to follow a<br />

pathway suited to their ability, interests<br />

and skills.<br />

<strong>The</strong> unique structure of the school<br />

retains all the benefits of a large school<br />

but with students in Divisions of<br />

approximately 700. This ensures that<br />

students are known on an individual<br />

basis and are supported and mentored<br />

by senior students, Form Teachers,<br />

Deans and Guidance Counsellors.<br />

This strong pastoral and guidance<br />

focus helps Burnside High School<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

<strong>The</strong> ultimate campus for<br />

Avonside and Shirley<br />

A large Performing Arts Centre, three full-sized<br />

Gyms (complete with climbing wall) and four<br />

Sportsfields are among the key facilities that will be<br />

enjoyed by Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley<br />

Boys’ High School in the future.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two schools are being rebuilt alongside<br />

one another and next to the new QEII Sport and<br />

Recreation Centre. <strong>The</strong>y will open in time for Term<br />

Two of <strong>20</strong>19 so students who enrol to study at the<br />

schools next year, will only spend just over a year on<br />

the schools’ existing sites.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new campus’ design was created by New<br />

Zealand’s ASC Architects – part of the ShapED<br />

consortium that is building and will also maintain<br />

the new schools.<br />

Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume says being<br />

able to start from scratch has enabled ASC to come<br />

up with the ‘ultimate campus’.<br />

“We are delighted. <strong>The</strong> new campus will feature<br />

better facilities than either of our schools have ever<br />

had in the past.”<br />

Shirley Boys’ Headmaster John Laurenson agrees,<br />

describing the design as modern and sympathetic<br />

to the surrounding area.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> two schools will be set back from Travis<br />

Road with numerous trees and landscaped areas. It<br />

will be a very green campus,” says John Laurenson.<br />

As well as the major facilities, each school will<br />

have a long list of specialist learning facilities.<br />

Highlights include an Electronics Lab, a 2D and<br />

3D Printing Room, six Science Labs and an Indoor<br />

Fitness Centre (complete with exercise equipment<br />

including rowing machines, stationery bikes and<br />

treadmills).<br />

Sue Hume says the design enables the schools to<br />

offer students completely new experiences.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> facilities are just so much better than what<br />

we have now. For example, in each school’s Social<br />

Sciences and Media there is a large Editing Suite,<br />

Presentation Space, two Recording Studios and a<br />

Media Studio. It’s a big step up,” says Sue Hume.<br />

John Laurenson says the schools will continue to<br />

deliver quality single sex education.<br />

“Students will spend most of their day in a singlesex<br />

environment – that is really important to us.<br />

Single sex education benefits both boys and girls.<br />

Our students will also benefit, both educationally<br />

and socially, from being able to learn alongside and<br />

mix with students from the partner school. It is a<br />

fantastic opportunity.”<br />

Two of the gyms on the campus will feature a climbing wall and be able<br />

to be linked for major events. <strong>The</strong> schools will also share a third gym<br />

<strong>The</strong> schools will have numerous outdoor areas that will be<br />

landscaped to enable students and teachers to work outside.<br />

<strong>The</strong> front of the campus will face Travis Road but be set behind a large landcaped courtyard and plantings.<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School<br />

Principal, Mrs Sue Hume, and student<br />

Formation is at the heart of the education<br />

Middleton Grange School provides – a<br />

whole of life formation. We see learning<br />

as holistic; it aims to instruct the mind,<br />

shape the heart and equip the hand. <strong>The</strong><br />

root of formation is faith and so Middleton<br />

Grange not only provides a first rate general<br />

education but also biblically based teaching<br />

in the Christian faith.<br />

Formation of the mind is not primarily<br />

intellectual contemplation or conceptual<br />

mastery but a learning that nurtures<br />

wisdom and discernment. It is a learning<br />

that challenges the mind to think, discern<br />

and critique the ideas and theories pupils<br />

are exposed to from a Christian perspective.<br />

Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows<br />

the formation of the heart so that it shapes<br />

Christian Integrated<br />

Schools<br />

Working together for the good of<br />

students and families has been a successful<br />

recipe for Christian Integrated Schools in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christian School Network has been<br />

in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield<br />

Christian School, Emmanuel Christian<br />

School, Hillview Christian School and<br />

Middleton Grange School decided in<br />

<strong>20</strong>05 that there was much to be gained<br />

by working together cooperatively.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y recognised opportunities to share<br />

successful teaching practice, curriculum<br />

development initiatives across a wide<br />

spectrum of school operations as well as<br />

cooperatively strengthening their special<br />

the character of each pupil to develop<br />

habits of righteousness, compassion and<br />

integrity. This formation of the mind and<br />

heart generates responsiveness. We want<br />

our pupils to engage in the society they<br />

live in, to be of benefit and blessing in a<br />

practical way.<br />

For Middleton Grange School, while our<br />

academic results are of the highest level,<br />

what is highly prized, is that our pupils<br />

exercise wisdom, serve the community<br />

and promote the well-being of others. It is<br />

about forming the pupil to be the person<br />

God created them to be.<br />

All of this is summed up in the school<br />

motto: Character, Excellence, Service for<br />

the Glory of God.<br />

Christian Character. <strong>The</strong>y recognised that<br />

their ability to serve students and families<br />

was greatly enhanced by working together<br />

in a close and trusting relationship.<br />

<strong>The</strong> success of the network has seen other<br />

schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece<br />

Rangiora New Life School became part of<br />

the network. <strong>The</strong> schools joined together to<br />

support the genesis of Ashburton Christian<br />

School and also culminated in the start up<br />

of a brand new school in Rolleston in <strong>20</strong>15.<br />

<strong>The</strong> schools have developed interlocking<br />

enrolment schools which assists in<br />

providing transparent pathways in<br />

Christian education from new entrant<br />

through to Year 13.<br />

A further strength has been a cooperative<br />

engagement with the Ministry of Education<br />

who have been pivotal in assisting the<br />

networks successful development.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

Selwyn House School<br />

A Selwyn House School education is one of<br />

the greatest gifts you can give your daughter.<br />

We focus on putting the foundations in place<br />

to ensure all our girls receive a remarkable<br />

education that will prepare them for the<br />

global society they will live and lead in.<br />

Proudly, authorised to deliver the Primary<br />

Years Programme (PYP), we are committed<br />

to providing a continuum of international<br />

education to our girls. <strong>The</strong> focus from Early<br />

Childhood to Year 8 is on the total growth<br />

of the developing girl, encompassing<br />

intellectual, social, physical, emotional,<br />

spiritual and cultural needs. <strong>The</strong><br />

International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP<br />

is an international, transdisciplinary<br />

programme.<br />

Parents want the best for their<br />

daughters and, together with you, our<br />

teachers work to ensure we inspire all<br />

our girls to love and to be committed<br />

to learning as they develop their unique<br />

way of being ‘remarkable.’ To achieve<br />

this, we actively encourage the girls to<br />

think about what sort of person they<br />

want to be, what life they want to lead<br />

and what they are prepared to stand up<br />

and fight for.<br />

We believe in the strength of tradition,<br />

the promise of the future and the power<br />

of education and inspiration to equip our<br />

girls to face our continually-changing<br />

world with confidence and enthusiasm.<br />

Our girls stand out among their peers.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are confident, articulate and<br />

determined young women who have the<br />

values, skills, and attributes needed to<br />

not only achieve their goals but to make a<br />

difference in their communities.<br />

Selwyn House School’s nurturing<br />

environment, small class sizes and<br />

comprehensive approach to learning<br />

not only enhances the capabilities of<br />

each year group but provides a smooth<br />

transition to secondary school. For<br />

Mairehau vs Wild<br />

<strong>The</strong> annual ‘Mairehau vs Wild’ Year 12<br />

Physical Education camp was recently. After<br />

days of torrential rain, the team was blessed<br />

with gorgeous weather, with the sun shining<br />

down on our epic adventures!<br />

Day 1 included raft building, kayaking<br />

and paddle-boarding at Lake Rua. <strong>The</strong> girls<br />

easily beat the boys in the raft building task,<br />

much to the boys’ dismay! Next stop was<br />

the Birch Hill Cemetery to see a tribute to<br />

the horses who served and died in World<br />

War 1. We were humbled by this impressive<br />

memorial, and its stunning and poignant<br />

location.<br />

Day 2 we scaled Mt Oxford. This lofty<br />

beast took us about 7 hours to climb, but<br />

we were treated to breathtaking panoramic<br />

views.<br />

That evening, we visited the Oxford<br />

Observatory. This was a real highlight. We<br />

got to see Jupiter, its ‘rings’ and four of its<br />

moons. We also got to see our closest star, a<br />

supernova and a ‘black hole’, and we found<br />

out where all our star signs live in the sky.<br />

On Day 3, we mountain-biked from base<br />

to Kowhai Riding School, where we got to<br />

learn to ride and trot horses, before taking<br />

them on a trek. A delicious fish and chip<br />

lunch followed, before making the journey<br />

back.<br />

This was a wonderful trip. We made new<br />

friends, and learned and experienced many<br />

new things.<br />

As<br />

When considering what our young people<br />

need in order to be positive, successful and<br />

contributing citizens the following positive<br />

dispositions, alongside formal qualifications,<br />

are thought to be important: empathy, selfcontrol,<br />

integrity, embracing diversity and<br />

Hillmorton High School, catering for Years<br />

7 to 13, has a diverse student population in<br />

terms of socio-economic status, ethnicity,<br />

prior learning, ability and disability. We fairly<br />

well represent New Zealand society and as<br />

such, our students study alongside students<br />

from varying backgrounds. Through this<br />

alone they develop empathy, self-control,<br />

and a deep understanding of diversity which<br />

we embrace. Our students develop into<br />

young adults where they are strong in their<br />

own identity; they have integrity.<br />

We know that Hillmorton students take a<br />

broad range of pathways on leaving school<br />

including university and understand the<br />

value of hard work and determination.<br />

We continue to work to understand how to<br />

teach in ways that help to develop “grit” and<br />

resiliency. We know to praise “effort” and I<br />

encourage all parents to do the same.<br />

Working together, our young people are<br />

developing the positive dispositions, skills<br />

Hagley sets you up for life<br />

If you are looking for a high school<br />

where teachers work closely with you<br />

to ensure you get the very best out of<br />

your high school years, then Hagley’s<br />

Junior Graduating College is the right<br />

choice for you.<br />

We are often asked, what makes Hagley different? We<br />

have a culture like no other. No-one wears a uniform<br />

and everyone is on a first name basis, but that is just for<br />

starters. Students come to Hagley because they’re treated<br />

with respect and valued as individuals.<br />

Hagley’s Junior Graduating College has small classes<br />

and we take a personal approach. It is all about what we<br />

can do to help you. Classes are fun, focused and inspire<br />

you to be the very best you can. What does that mean<br />

for you? You feel that your teachers are interested in you<br />

and care about your learning, that you are experiencing<br />

success – and much more.<br />

We love our students aiming high and doing well.<br />

Students graduate into Hagley’s large Senior College<br />

where they succeed academically and in many other ways,<br />

as well as become our school leaders. This is all built on<br />

the great foundations laid in our Junior College.<br />

Hagley’s Junior Graduating College combines the<br />

best of both worlds: freedom to be yourself and enjoy<br />

school in a structured and supportive environment<br />

where achievement is celebrated. Experience the Hagley<br />

difference – it will set you up for life!<br />

Pathways at<br />

Linwood College<br />

In <strong>20</strong>17 Linwood College is offering a<br />

range of events for prospective students and<br />

their parents.<br />

Due to a heightened demand, this year<br />

we are introducing the opportunity to meet<br />

individually with our principal, Richard<br />

Edmundson. Available times are noted on<br />

the flyer. Incoming Yr 6 and Yr 8 students<br />

will have a Taster Afternoon and then for the<br />

Open Night each family will have their own<br />

individual guide who is a present Linwood<br />

College student.<br />

Aspiration and success: learning at<br />

Linwood College is founded on personalised<br />

pathways. Learning is personalised and<br />

individual needs are recognised and met.<br />

Each individual receives the content and<br />

style of education that is appropriate for<br />

their specific stage of learning and social<br />

development.<br />

Our school’s Yr 7-13 curriculum creates<br />

aspiration and community. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />

educational and social continuity, yet with<br />

the “rites of passage” that students of all ages<br />

stress are important as they grow and mature.<br />

It brings out the best in our students.<br />

Students know that what they are learning<br />

is based on their own individual pathways.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y increasingly take responsibility for<br />

their own learning, knowing that with<br />

positive actions and effort they will achieve.<br />

Students learn best when who they are<br />

– language, culture, identity – is affirmed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> personalized pathways model creates<br />

whānau-school partnerships as it recognizes<br />

and nurtures the uniqueness of each one of<br />

our students and their specific capabilities. It<br />

creates multiple opportunities for leadership<br />

so students excel and develop independence.<br />

VEHICLES<br />

FOR<br />

SALE<br />

Popular Colorado<br />

up for a challenge<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

NEW ZEALAND has<br />

become quite the<br />

ute-buying nation.<br />

That doesn’t surprise me,<br />

Kiwis are following trends<br />

out of North America and<br />

Australia.<br />

In the last few years ute<br />

sales here have shot up to<br />

record levels. While it’s<br />

fair to say most buyers<br />

are choosing Ford and its<br />

Ranger, all manufactures<br />

which ply that part of the<br />

market are claiming success.<br />

None more so than<br />

Holden with its Colorado,<br />

it is selling hard on the<br />

heels of Ranger, a new<br />

model was launched last<br />

year and as I reported<br />

in these columns in<br />

November, it is a standout<br />

in terms of refinement and,<br />

of course, practicality.<br />

That evaluation focused<br />

on the mid-spec LTZ; five<br />

days with the range-topping<br />

Z71 has done nothing<br />

to alter my affection for the<br />

popular four-wheel-drive<br />

double cab.<br />

Clearly, the Z71 is aimed<br />

more towards the recreational<br />

buyer, it has decals,<br />

stripes, body kit and a<br />

level of specification which<br />

wouldn’t work for many<br />

industry roles.<br />

However, I found the<br />

deck cover functional and<br />

useful for low loads, I took<br />

a deck full of foliage to the<br />

green recycling centre, to<br />

be able to pack it down<br />

and hold it secure with the<br />

fibreglass cover was simply<br />

brilliant. I also used that<br />

area to transport the cricket<br />

gear I use as year 4 coach,<br />

to have it locked secure<br />

when I was away from the<br />

vehicle was also another<br />

bonus.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se tasks were no<br />

match for the Colorado’s<br />

1000kg load capacity, but<br />

they did serve to prove how<br />

adaptable the modern ute<br />

has become, and if you add<br />

in a 3500kg tow rating the<br />

Colorado is right up there<br />

in terms of load carrying<br />

performance.<br />

At the other end sits<br />

a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder<br />

twin-camshaft turbocharged<br />

diesel engine. It is<br />

rated bay Holden at 147kW<br />

HOLDEN COLORADO Z71: Genuine off-roader.<br />

and with 500Nm of torque<br />

available at just <strong>20</strong>00rpm it<br />

is a powerhouse, easily on a<br />

par with all of its competitors.<br />

Drive is harnessed<br />

through a six-speed automatic<br />

transmission. A<br />

manual is available, but<br />

it won’t compete with the<br />

auto in terms of sales figures.<br />

• Price – Holden<br />

Colorado Z71,<br />

$66,990<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 5361mm;<br />

width, 1872mm;<br />

height, 1800mm<br />

• Configuration<br />

– Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,2776cc,<br />

147kW, 500Nm, sixspeed<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 11sec<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

8.7l/100km<br />

Shifts are smooth and the<br />

gearing is such that it provides<br />

relaxed motoring at<br />

highway speed along with<br />

the ratios needed for slow<br />

speed, off-the-seal travel.<br />

Backing up that theory<br />

is the fitment of a true<br />

low ratio transfer box, it is<br />

manipulated electronically<br />

by a console-mounted dial<br />

switch, at the driver’s command.<br />

It’s fair to say I didn’t<br />

take the Z71 off-road.<br />

When Holden launched<br />

the new series, it included<br />

a traction-challenging offroad<br />

excursion in North<br />

Canterbury. I felt I didn’t<br />

need to replicate that given<br />

all vehicles completed the<br />

undulating and muddy hill<br />

sections without drama.<br />

VERSATILE:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Z71 has a<br />

high level of<br />

specification.<br />

Instead, I spent most<br />

of my time with the Z71<br />

at highway speed and my<br />

regular commute. In those<br />

conditions it seems more<br />

car-like that ute-like. Sure,<br />

there is a lot of bulk to<br />

manoeuvre in close confine<br />

situations, but it’s no worse<br />

than any other vehicle of its<br />

type. And if you take into<br />

account the number which<br />

are being sold, buyers quite<br />

obviously don’t rate that as<br />

a challenge.<br />

On the open road, the<br />

engine turns over slowly<br />

at 1550rpm at 100km/h<br />

in top gear. At that speed<br />

it returns a 6.2-litre per<br />

100km (46mpg) instantaneous<br />

fuel usage figure,<br />

that accounted for<br />

an 9.4l/100km (30mpg)<br />

average figure during my<br />

time with the ute. That<br />

correlates well with the<br />

8.7l/100km (32mpg) figure<br />

Holden claims for a combined<br />

cycle average.<br />

Road and wind noise are<br />

both kept to a minimum,<br />

and the Colorado, as a<br />

series, imparts a smooth<br />

ride. Of course, it is better<br />

with a bit of weight in the<br />

back, but the reality is the<br />

load bearing suspension is<br />

relatively absorbent and the<br />

cab doesn’t jiggle unnecessarily<br />

on uneven surfaces.<br />

That’s an area where local<br />

research and development<br />

pays dividends. Holden<br />

Australia places a huge<br />

emphasis on developing<br />

vehicles for down under<br />

conditions and it certainly<br />

shows in Colorado. <strong>The</strong><br />

ride is acceptable and the<br />

entire in-cabin experience<br />

is comfortable.<br />

I guess, it would need to<br />

be. <strong>The</strong> Z71 isn’t cheap at<br />

$66,990, but for that money<br />

you do get a lot of kit.<br />

Even though the Z71’s<br />

flashy bits disguise its traditional<br />

ute look, make<br />

no mistake, it is still the<br />

quintessential Colorado<br />

which has carved out a<br />

huge reputation as a tough,<br />

go-anywhere worker.<br />

HOW TO PLAY<br />

It’s like sudoku: each<br />

vertical and horizontal<br />

line has to contain<br />

the numbers 1-6, and<br />

the numbers can’t be<br />

repeated in any row or<br />

column.<br />

But it’s sudoku with a<br />

twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />

each heavily outlined<br />

set of squares, called<br />

cages, must produce the<br />

number in the top corner.<br />

For example, 5+ means<br />

the numbers add up to 5,<br />

9x means the numbers<br />

multiply to equal 9.<br />

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />

same line or row.<br />

Foran to meet Storm coach Craig Bellamy – report<br />

AUSTRALIAN MEDIA are<br />

reporting that Kieran Foran<br />

joining Melbourne is back on<br />

the table with the Warriors star<br />

supposedly seeking an audience<br />

with the Storm’s master coach<br />

Craig Bellamy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning Herald<br />

has reported that Foran is<br />

contemplating “the prospect of<br />

starting over in Melbourne.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Warriors play the Storm<br />

on Tuesday in Melbourne in the<br />

traditional Anzac round clash<br />

between the two clubs.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />

.kiwi<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning Herald<br />

claimed Foran would use the<br />

opportunity to meet Bellamy,<br />

who is seeking a replacement for<br />

departing playmaker Cooper<br />

Cronk who is moving to Sydney<br />

to be closer to fiancee Tara<br />

Rushton.<br />

It reported Bellamy has<br />

identified Foran and St George<br />

Illawarra captain Gareth<br />

Widdop as the best players<br />

available on the open market.<br />

It said Foran would tour the<br />

Storm’s facilities and meet with<br />

coach Bellamy and his key<br />

staffers.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Kiwi international is<br />

keen for the visit not to disrupt<br />

his game preparations and is<br />

likely to seek the permission<br />

of Warriors officials to do so,”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning Herald<br />

reported.<br />

“We are yet to rule any<br />

candidate out,” Storm chief<br />

executive Dave Donaghy said.<br />

“We won’t be rushed into<br />

anything, there are a number<br />

of retention and recruitment<br />

Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>17<br />

decisions to be made in the<br />

coming weeks and months.”<br />

Foran is also in Newcastle’s<br />

sights for next year and is<br />

being strongly linked to the<br />

Canterbury Bulldogs.<br />

Reigning premiers Cronulla<br />

may also be in the mix after<br />

losing Jack Bird to the Brisbane<br />

Broncos.<br />

Foran’s preference is to play in<br />

Sydney to be closer to his family<br />

but that doesn’t rule out the<br />

Storm as an option.<br />

CANTY PLAYERS IN NZ<br />

RUGBY UNDER-<strong>20</strong>S<br />

Four Canterbury players have<br />

been named in the New Zealand<br />

under-<strong>20</strong> squad for this month’s<br />

Oceania rugby tournament<br />

in the Gold Coast. Ere Enari,<br />

(Lincoln University), Josh<br />

McKay (Lincoln University),<br />

Tom Christie (Christchurch),<br />

Braydon Ennor (University) and<br />

Harrison Allan (Sydenham)<br />

will travel to Australia for the<br />

tournament, which begins<br />

on <strong>April</strong> 28. Recent Tasman<br />

acquisition and former<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />

player Will Jordan has also been<br />

selected. New Zealand will play<br />

Fiji, Samoa and Australia.<br />

BOWLS CHAMPIONS<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bowls Canterbury<br />

Champion of Champions titles<br />

will be decided at the Woolston<br />

Park club this weekend. Local<br />

club champions in singles, pairs,<br />

triples and fours have played<br />

elimination matches against<br />

other club champions over the<br />

last month. This weekend’s<br />

tournament will see the semifinals<br />

and finals in the four<br />

disciplines across both men’s<br />

and women’s competitions on<br />

Saturday and Sunday.<br />

Sticking it to the Aussies in 8-ball<br />

SIX CANTABRIANS will<br />

take on the world’s best in<br />

Australasia’s richest 8-ball<br />

tournament this weekend.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christchurch contingent<br />

of Danny Bowen, Healey<br />

White, Jun Carreon, Steve<br />

Denton, Jordan Maehe and<br />

Kyri Michaelides departed for<br />

Australia yesterday to compete<br />

at the Big Guns tournament in<br />

Bundoora, Melbourne.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will be joined by eight<br />

other New Zealand players,<br />

more than 100 of Australia’s best<br />

players, and a contingent from<br />

the United Kingdom, including<br />

three-time world champion<br />

Mick Hill.<br />

For most of the Christchurch<br />

players, this will be their first<br />

international tournament<br />

experience.<br />

“It’s going to be great to just<br />

see the next level and where you<br />

can bring your game to,” said<br />

Bowen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tournament has more<br />

than 128 players and a total<br />

prize pool of more than<br />

AUS$70,000, with the winner<br />

taking home AUS$12,000.<br />

Christchurch’s top player<br />

Steve Denton has watched<br />

internet for the last two years,<br />

but decided now was the time to<br />

send a Kiwi contingent across<br />

the ditch.<br />

After getting in touch with<br />

the organiser in Sydney, he was<br />

promised eight spots for New<br />

Zealand players in this year’s<br />

tournament. That number has<br />

now been extended to 14.<br />

“I think there are many<br />

players here in New Zealand<br />

that are going on this trip who,<br />

on their day, are capable of<br />

beating anyone,” said Denton.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tournament is an<br />

individual competition.<br />

However, the New Zealand<br />

contingent is going over with<br />

a team mentality. <strong>The</strong>y will all<br />

play in the same uniform and<br />

will even be sharing the same<br />

accommodation.<br />

Although you can be assured<br />

the team theory will go out the<br />

door if two of the Kiwis draw<br />

each other.<br />

A number of the competitors<br />

will also play in a single day<br />

tournament in Bundoora on<br />

Anzac Day.<br />

New Zealand has also been<br />

invited to send a team to<br />

compete in a tri-series against<br />

England and Australia in<br />

Canberra in November.

Home<br />

& Property<br />

Dressing your<br />

property up for sale<br />

Your house is on the market and you hope to get a good price. While<br />

market performance will largely influence this, presenting your home<br />

at its best will help.<br />

First impressions count from the<br />

moment potential buyers view a<br />

property from the street to the moment<br />

they walk through the front door.<br />

Weed the garden, cut back unruly<br />

shrubs and prune trees where needed.<br />

Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass<br />

seed over bald patches and fertilise the<br />

lawn.<br />

Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess<br />

or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby<br />

items or fitness equipment and if too<br />

many photos on the wall pack these<br />

away so the home looks roomy.<br />

If there is a gap or a room needs<br />

enhancing, look at what you have. A<br />

piece of furniture might be painted up<br />

or an old leather bound book popped<br />

on the coffee table. Shelves will also add<br />

depth to a narrow space while mirrors<br />

may give the illusion of a larger space. In<br />

entryways, add an easy chair, small table,<br />

bookcase or large vase.<br />

Awkward spaces such as coved<br />

ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms might<br />

be converted into storage shelving and<br />

the room given a purpose as an office,<br />

playroom or extra bedroom so viewers<br />

can see how the room might be used.<br />

Stow possessions neatly in containers,<br />

shelving or tidily in cupboards;<br />

highlighting the storage potential within<br />

the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy<br />

for viewing at any time.<br />

Move the pets outside as not all buyers<br />

will be pet lovers while some may suffer<br />

pet allergies putting them off a house if<br />

they see a pet inside.<br />

If parts of the house look tired,<br />

consider renovating by painting walls,<br />

replacing worn carpet, or modernising<br />

the kitchen, bathroom and toilet;<br />

rooms that should sparkle. Replace<br />

tired cabinetry, or the benches and<br />

cupboard/drawer fronts then update old<br />

toilets, showers or kitchen appliances.<br />

Modernising these rooms can lift the<br />

final selling price.<br />

Use consistent and light paint<br />

colours throughout for balance and<br />

seamlessness, making the house appear<br />

more spacious. An effect that is increased<br />

when walls and curtains share the same<br />

or a similar colour.<br />

Consider the personality and purpose<br />

of a room. Bright colours lift living areas<br />

especially if large and open. However,<br />

bedrooms are suited to calmer softer<br />

colours with just a touch of bold. Layer<br />

bedding or use throws for effect along<br />

with cushions or a stuffed toy in a<br />

children’s room.<br />

With curtaining, smaller patterns<br />

or plain fabrics are the rule for smaller<br />

rooms whereas larger patterns make<br />

spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes<br />

are past their best, replace these even if it<br />

is only with neutral cotton curtains. <strong>The</strong><br />

effect will be worth it.<br />

Eco-friendly features will also add<br />

value for some buyers though not<br />

universally, however earthy natural<br />

colours and features are popular.<br />

Consider who your target buyers are<br />

likely to be and what will appeal to them.<br />
