Rangi Ruru Girls’ School tasted success at the South Island rowing club championships in Twizel at the weekend. The school<br />
brought home six golds, a silver and a bronze during the two-day event at Lake Ruataniwha. Millie Knight and the Rangi<br />
Ruru girls under-19 four (above) won silver. The results are a good platform to build on ahead of the South Island secondary<br />
school championships and Maadi Cup in March. •Story and results, page 8<br />

Bus lounge<br />
hooligans<br />
have<br />
‘quietened<br />
down’ –<br />
community<br />
constable<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
ANTI-SOCIAL behaviour at the<br />
Riccarton bus lounge has slowed<br />
down, according to a community<br />
constable.<br />
The lounge, on the corner of<br />
Riccarton Rd and Division St, has<br />
been plagued by misbehaving young<br />
people since it opened in December<br />
2015.<br />
A working party, consisting of<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board members, business<br />
and landowners, police, community<br />
groups and residents’ association<br />
representatives, made 19 recommendations<br />
to help solve the issues.<br />
They included introducing an<br />
anti-loitering bylaw, playing music<br />
in Division St to attract more people<br />
to the area, and changing the current<br />
bus lounge wi-fi policy.<br />
But before the measures have been<br />
put in place, the problems appears<br />
to have “quietened down”.<br />
Constable Aaron Thorn said<br />
“things have been really quiet<br />
around Division St at the bus exchange.”<br />

on page 4 today.<br />
Hank, the border collie cross we<br />
featured over Christmas has found a<br />
home.<br />
Hank was on our front page promoting<br />
the Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust’s <strong>2018</strong> calendar. He wasn’t in it<br />
– only canines that have been rehomed make the cut.<br />
Hank had been at Dogwatch since October, and the people<br />
who run the deserving organisation needed a family with the<br />
patience to take him – Hank has a few quirks.<br />
That’s not uncommon in dogs that end up in the pound;<br />
they’ve usually been pushed from pillar to post before they get<br />
there.<br />
So a new start for the two year-old, who also has a new<br />
name: Gus. Good stuff. – Barry Clarke<br />

Chapel surprise for St Margaret’s<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
AFTER 20 years without, St<br />
Margaret’s College has a new<br />
chapel.<br />
And the building’s<br />
connection to the school is<br />
almost 90-years-old.<br />
Waiau’s Satterthwaite family<br />
moved a chapel from their farm<br />
to the Merivale college grounds<br />
in the early hours of Wednesday<br />
morning, as a gift to departing<br />
executive principal Gillian<br />
Simpson.<br />
“My mother-in-law, Diana<br />
Satterthwaite, went to St<br />
Margaret’s and she’s 90 now<br />
. . . there’s a lot of history,”<br />
chapel owner Gina<br />
Satterthwaite (nee Gough) said.<br />
Before the chapel was moved<br />
to Waiau, it was the local<br />
church in Rotherham, where<br />
Diana Satterthwaite grew up,<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Satterthwaite said there<br />
had been a girl from her family,<br />
or her husband’s family, at St<br />
Margaret’s every decade since<br />
her mother-in-law began.<br />
“Literally, people in the<br />
family from five-years-old to<br />
90-years-old have been a part<br />
of the school,” she said. That<br />
included herself, her daughters,<br />
her mother and aunts.<br />
The Waiau chapel was also<br />
where she and her husband<br />
were married.<br />
“But the main reason is that<br />
it’s just nice to know that it’s<br />
going to be enjoyed<br />
. . . it’s so important to me<br />
that St Margaret’s gave me the<br />
opportunity to help like this,”<br />
she said.<br />
The college has been without<br />
a chapel for more than 20 years.<br />
One of Mrs Simpson’s goals was<br />
to get a chapel back on school<br />
grounds before she left at the<br />
end of term two.<br />
“I have been looking for a<br />
small chapel for 10 years and<br />
since the major rebuild we had<br />
put the project on the backburner,”<br />
she said.<br />
But the school organised the<br />
chapel to be moved without<br />
Mrs Simpson’s knowledge; she<br />
didn’t know until it arrived.<br />
“This was a complete surprise<br />
RELOCATION:<br />
The chapel<br />
spent more<br />
than an hour<br />
on the back<br />
of two trucks<br />
driving from<br />
Waiau to St<br />
Margaret’s<br />
College on<br />
Papanui Rd. <br />
and presented to me as a fait<br />
accompli,” Mrs Simpson said.<br />
The building had to be split<br />
in half and loaded onto two<br />
separate trucks before being<br />
reassembled on site.<br />
She said it was an “immense<br />
honour” to see her dream<br />
become a reality right at the end<br />
of her tenure.<br />
It will be renamed Te Whare<br />
Hauora (The House of Wellbeing).<br />

Yaldhurst<br />
Rural<br />
Residents’<br />
Association<br />
chairwoman<br />
Sara Harnett-<br />
Kikstra<br />
talks about<br />
quarries in the west and<br />
who makes decisions on<br />
them<br />
IN A recent interview with<br />
Environment Canterbury’s<br />
new chairman, Steve Lowndes,<br />
he stated that the public<br />
perception of ECan was not very<br />
favourable, but ECan is bound<br />
by Government policy.<br />
In part he is correct, in that<br />
Gerry Brownlee the Minister<br />
for Earthquake Recovery at the<br />
time of the District Plan sent<br />
a directive to the city council<br />
to allow for a more permissive<br />
regime. (As an aside, as soon<br />
as this regime entered the leafy<br />
suburb of Ilam with a potential<br />
funeral parlour, he is calling for<br />
a judicial review.)<br />
However, Government policy<br />
does not include allowing the<br />
aquifers to become contaminated<br />
nor does it include allowing<br />
residents to develop silicosis<br />
because of the proximity, and<br />
number of quarries. Neither<br />
does it include allowing the<br />
entire south-west rural area<br />
to become one great quarry<br />
pit.<br />
In recent times there has<br />
been a multitude of resource<br />
consent applications for quarries<br />
and all of them successful<br />
because ECan’s and city<br />
council’s interpretation of policy<br />
and the new rules appears to<br />
be one of we must approve the<br />
consent.<br />
The recent decision by Judge<br />
Borthwick to overturn the consent<br />
in the Harewood Gravels<br />
case appears to suggest their<br />
interpretation is misguided.<br />
Her decision emphasised the<br />
cumulative effects of so many<br />
quarries and the social impact<br />
on communities.<br />
Perhaps it’s time for decisionmakers<br />
to become accountable<br />
which may turn their minds<br />
to stop perpetuating decisions<br />
which have a major impact on<br />
communities. In the meantime,<br />
the train wreck rolls on.<br />

CHRISTMAS CAME early for<br />
Hank the border collie cross.<br />
After featuring as poster boy<br />
for Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust’s<br />
<strong>2018</strong> calendar and more than<br />
two months at the trust, the<br />
two-year-old was adopted on<br />
December 24.<br />
He starred on the front page of<br />
the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> over Christmas.<br />
So he now has a new home<br />
– and a new name. He is now<br />
called Gus. His new owner said<br />
he had come along way in a short<br />
space of time – describing him as<br />
a “dolphin” in the water.<br />
“He is very affectionate and<br />
gaining more confidence as he<br />
gets to know the neighbourhood.<br />
He is very responsive to commands<br />
and appears a quick and<br />
willing learner.”<br />
“I think further down the<br />
track when he is completely<br />
chilled he will enjoy his new<br />
home.”<br />
The bright, lovely and playful<br />
animal, according to trust<br />
manager Pam Howard, had been<br />
without a home since October.<br />
Mrs Howard said many people<br />
had wanted to adopt Gus, but<br />
just weren’t a right fit.<br />
Gus had been at the city coun-<br />

said.<br />
She described Gus as “resource<br />
guarder” – a dog that growls and<br />
snarls at other animals and people<br />
to stay away from an object it<br />
might be guarding.<br />
“He just needs an owner that<br />
understands when dogs have<br />
quirks you work with them and<br />
you don’t set them up to fail,”<br />
Mrs Howard said.<br />

Aurora Centre repair work delayed<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
UPGRADE AND repair work<br />
on the Aurora Centre will not<br />
be finished for a month longer<br />
than anticipated.<br />
The performing arts centre,<br />
on the site of Burnside High<br />
School, has been undergoing<br />
weather tightness and earthquake<br />
damage repairs since the<br />
beginning of <strong>January</strong>.<br />
But due to the complexity of<br />
the work, the building which<br />
was expected to be complete by<br />
February, won’t be open until<br />
at least March<br />
with a final<br />
date yet to be<br />
confirmed,<br />
principal Phil<br />
Holstein said.<br />
He said while<br />
the repair work<br />
was going on, Phil Holstein<br />
the school was<br />
also taking the opportunity to<br />
spend time doing “necessary”<br />
upgrades to the centre.<br />
The school has spent $2 million<br />
on the upgrades, which<br />
includes a new air conditioning<br />
system and refreshing the paint<br />
job on the building’s exterior,<br />
as well as some smaller internal<br />
work.<br />
“It was definitely time to<br />
upgrade . . . I’d heard from a few<br />
people the heating and cooling<br />

longer than expected.<br />

definitely needed work on it,”<br />
Mr Holstein said.<br />
But with the delay, he said<br />
there would be some interruption<br />
when students returned<br />
from the summer holiday at the<br />
start of February.<br />
“We tried to start and finish<br />
it over the holiday to minimise<br />
disruption . . . but with this kind<br />
of work you always anticipate<br />
delays,” he said.<br />
Work on the 700-seat performing<br />
arts centre is part of<br />
a $24 million repair and redevelopment<br />
plan at the school,<br />
which includes several of the<br />
school’s other buildings.<br />
Once completed, Mr Holstein<br />
said the board would be able<br />
to begin “the master planning<br />
stage” of the school’s post-quake<br />
redevelopment.<br />
“We’re one of the last schools<br />
in the city to start on our master<br />
plan,” he said.<br />
Mr Holstein said the upgrade<br />
work on the Aurora Centre is<br />
not only important to the school<br />
but the wider community too.<br />
The building was a key space<br />
following the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake. It was one of the<br />
only spaces to host events left in<br />
the city.<br />
“It’s a significant building<br />
for Burnside but also for the<br />
city post-quake ,” Mr Holstein<br />
said.<br />

Building robot to beat beach mess<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
E WEN Wong doesn’t want to<br />
grow up in a world polluted by<br />
plastic.<br />
So the 15-year-old Burnside<br />
High School student has begun<br />
designing a robot to detect<br />
plastic in beaches, rivers and the<br />
ocean.<br />
“While it’s still in early stages,<br />
I’ve already had a lot of support<br />
and direction from experts like<br />
Brendon and Chris from NIWA,<br />
Brendon from ThisDesign<br />
and April from Limitless who<br />
have been super keen to push<br />
my project along and offer<br />
their expertise which is really<br />
exciting,”<br />
E Wen said.<br />
She’s named her robot BIRD,<br />
which stands for Biomimicry<br />
Identification Robot Device and<br />
fortunately it’s also shaped like<br />
a bird.<br />
“As part of this, I am<br />
designing an unmanned aerial<br />
vehicle capable of detecting and<br />
locating macro-plastics such<br />
as plastic bags and bottle tops<br />
using either laser diodes or<br />
machine learning software to<br />
rapidly autonomously identify<br />
rubbish from a camera feed,” she<br />
said.<br />
The plastic will then be tagged<br />
and linked to a crowd sourced<br />
clean-up app that guides rubbish<br />
collectors to dispose of it, she<br />
said.<br />
“It’s only in the design stage<br />
at the moment, but it’s pretty<br />
cool,” she said. “I like the way<br />
technology can be used to help<br />
the environment.”<br />
E Wen has been working<br />
on the designs for her BIRD<br />

A HALSWELL resident<br />
is frustrated the<br />
Kennedy’s Bush track<br />
has been closed for<br />
almost a year and she’s<br />
not really sure why.<br />
The track, which has<br />
been closed since the<br />
Port Hills fires in February<br />
last year, was due<br />
to reopen on December 31.<br />
Halswell Community Project<br />
chairwoman Chrys<br />
Horn (left) feels the<br />
track has been closed<br />
“too long.”<br />
But Christchurch<br />
Transport Operations<br />
Centre manager Ryan<br />
Cooney said the city<br />
council and private<br />
landowner “have been<br />
discussing the timely<br />
removal of the privately<br />
owned trees.”<br />
He said damaged trees need<br />
to be removed before the track<br />
reopens.<br />
Mr Cooney said it is now due<br />
to reopen on March 31.<br />
But Dr Horn doubts it will<br />
open then.<br />
“The worry for me is not that<br />
it’s closed but when is it going<br />
to open. We’ve already been<br />
through one date. And I’m wondering<br />
what else is going on here<br />
behind the scenes,” she said.<br />
Mr Cooney said the trail,<br />
which is mostly on unformed<br />
PROCESS: A<br />
three-month<br />
delay of the<br />
reopening<br />
of the<br />

Bush track<br />

one Halswell<br />
resident. <br />
Walking track closed for ‘too long’<br />
Chrys Horn<br />
legal road and some private<br />
property, was delayed due to a<br />
wet winter.<br />
“Unfortunately, the wet weather<br />
last year resulted in excess<br />
sediment running off the hills<br />
into the Hoon Hay stream as a<br />
result of early logging attempts<br />
so work was paused,” he said.<br />
Dr Horn said she would “hate<br />
to see it closed forever.”<br />
“It’s something I’ve used all<br />
my life and I don’t want to lose<br />
access up there,” she said.<br />

Mrs Broughton said a<br />
“gruelling winter” may have<br />

PAPANUI’S DIEGO Quispe-<br />
Kim overcame Fendalton’s Liam<br />
Barrett in straight sets to lift the<br />
12 and under national title on<br />
Thursday.<br />
Played at Wilding Park, Linwood,<br />
the tournament saw competitors<br />
from all over the country<br />
vie for singles and doubles titles.<br />
Hillview Christian School’s<br />
Duncan McCall beat Auckland’s<br />
Jack Chapman in a play-off for<br />
third, 6-1, 3-6, 8-10, meaning<br />
Christchurch players took all<br />
three spots on the podium.<br />
Diego, who plays for the<br />
Waimairi club, went through the<br />
tournament without dropping a<br />
set, showing great ability to get<br />
past Liam, 6-3, 6-2, in the final.<br />

head coach Hugo Nurse-Strang<br />
trained Liam and said it was a<br />
fantastic final, played between<br />
two very good young players.<br />
It was great to have Cantabrians<br />
in the top three. I don’t think<br />
that has happened before, we are<br />
normally lucky to have one in<br />
the final, so this is really great,”<br />
he said.<br />

More than just a taxi<br />
The elderly and those with<br />
disabilities often find it difficult to<br />
access health appointments or take<br />
care of shopping, things that can be<br />
physically and mentally challenging for<br />
them.<br />
Helen Beddard understands how<br />
difficult it can be. When her<br />
mother’s mobility was compromised<br />
by an injury, Helen stepped into<br />
the role of driver and companion<br />
where she learned first-hand, the<br />
importance of someone retaining their<br />
independence.<br />
It was this experience that sparked<br />
the idea of a driving service that went<br />
further than a taxi or shuttle provider.<br />
Lift Companion Driving is an<br />
individual, personalised service<br />
that helps the elderly, people with<br />
disabilities, and parents who need<br />
their children safely transported to<br />
an activity such as a dance class or<br />
afterschool programme.<br />
Helen takes her clients where<br />
they need to go, filling the role of<br />
companion and assistant, a role that<br />
gives her considerable satisfaction as<br />
she is helping those less mobile regain<br />
their independence.<br />
“It’s a privilege to do something<br />
positive for the community by making<br />
someone’s life easier. You meet the<br />
best people. They put a lift in my day<br />
as much as I put a lift in their day,”<br />
says Helen.<br />
Lift Companion Driving is a licensed<br />
transport service with a high emphasis<br />
on safety right down to the vehicle<br />
used. As driver, Helen is passenger<br />
endorsed, has been police checked,<br />
and has full first aid certificates.<br />
Lift Companion Driving is a caring,<br />
high quality bespoke yet affordable<br />
service that assists clients to retain<br />
their independence so they are less<br />
reliant on family and friends.<br />

new school year<br />
At JUST CUTS in The Hub, all the stylists are completely<br />
on top of every new cut, fade, style and even hair tattooing.<br />
Hundreds upon hundreds of children<br />
will return to school soon, while many<br />
more will start a new adventure as they<br />
begin their educational journey.<br />
Naturally they will want to look their<br />
best, as will their parents and guardians,<br />
and a quality haircut is part of that look,<br />
which gives them confidence and helps<br />
them feel ‘part of the crew’.<br />
Once upon a time Mum just clipped away<br />
with possibly her sewing scissors, and close<br />
enough was always good enough. No more!<br />
Even pre-schoolers have a sense of fashion<br />
and style these days!<br />
At JUST CUTS in The Hub, all the<br />
stylists are completely on top of every new<br />
cut, fade, style and even hair tattooing.<br />
Your children, regardless of age, can be<br />
completely confident of being totally cool<br />
with one of their cuts. And if the children<br />
are not sure of what they want, the salon<br />
has an iPad to look up the latest on the net.<br />

Of course, school also brings some<br />
concerns regarding those dreaded ‘extra<br />
passengers’ on your child’s head – nits!<br />
Do not despair – at JUST CUTS they can<br />
sort the problem for you. Their exclusive<br />
Justice Anti Lice Treatment Shampoo &<br />
Conditioner range contains Pyrethrum,<br />
a natural plant extract that is hugely<br />
successful in killing the intruders.<br />
And they give you all the advice you will<br />
need. Remember, these little nasties are<br />
not fussy who they travel with. Clean or<br />
dirty hair – it makes no difference to them!<br />
Nor the weather – they survive in any<br />
temperature from 5C to 40C. But, washing<br />
towels and bed linen is a vital ingredient in<br />
dealing with them.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
New premises<br />
for car light<br />
specialists<br />
NEW<br />
LOCATION<br />
95<br />
gasson st<br />
Long-established car light specialists,<br />
Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their<br />
lights from a sparkling new address – just<br />
around the corner from their familiar<br />
Brougham Street site.<br />
Just prior to Christmas, the business<br />
moved from 325 Brougham Street to 95<br />
Gasson St, where they offer a brighter<br />
showroom, easier access for their customers<br />
and plenty of off-street parking.<br />
“We’re all set up in our new premises,”<br />
sales manager Richard Vernimmen says,<br />
“and continuing to provide our customers<br />
with an extensive range of replacement<br />
lights for most Japanese, European and<br />
New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover<br />
most vehicles on the road, and all our lights<br />
are fully checked and in perfect working<br />
order.”<br />
If they don’t have it in stock, they can<br />
source it from one of the other branches in<br />
the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE<br />
is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of<br />
car, truck and commercial parts.<br />
Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair<br />
service for headlights, with their skilled<br />
staff of three having 80 years’ experience<br />
in the automotive trade between them.<br />
They also specialise in light adjuster and<br />
light conversion of American<br />
car lights and their repair<br />
service includes plastic<br />
welding, drying out, and<br />
re-silvering, re-sealing<br />
and lens refurbishment.<br />
Their services can also<br />
be arranged through<br />
your own local garage or<br />
workshop.<br />
So, next time you need<br />
replacement car lights, call<br />
into Braxton Car Lights’ bright new<br />

Belly dancing fun<br />
for men & women<br />
The new term of Beginners belly dance<br />
classes at Kashmir Belly Dance in South<br />
Brighton starts in February. The class will<br />
be on Monday evenings from February 12<br />
at 6.<strong>30</strong>pm, while a mixed class (men and<br />
women) will be on Thursday evenings from<br />
February 15 at 7.<strong>30</strong>pm.<br />
Anyone enrolling and pre-paying by<br />
February 10 will receive a $20 discount.<br />
Enrolments are through the website, www.<br />
bellyraqs.co.nz.<br />
The eight, 75-minute classes comprise an<br />
hour of dance movement and 15 minutes of<br />
background information on belly dancing,<br />
with videos and music.<br />
With one husband and wife already signed<br />
up, instructor Kashmir is encouraging more<br />
men to join the mixed class.<br />
“Belly dancing is not just for women,” she<br />
says. “It is fun and enjoyable for everyone.”<br />
Belly dancing can also be a step on the way<br />
to a new fitness regime, and participants get<br />
to know how their body works through the<br />
various movements, Kashmir says.<br />
Kashmir Belly Dance is located at 8<br />
Drake Street, South Brighton.<br />
Traditional<br />
social dancing<br />
of Scotland<br />
For hundreds of years Scottish Country<br />
Dancing was enjoyed at every level of<br />
society, from royal ballrooms to village halls.<br />
Over the last 100 years it has been developed<br />
to maintain its unique style and music, while<br />
keeping pace with the modern world.<br />
There are Scottish Country Dance clubs<br />
on every continent of the world, which is<br />
testament to the universal appeal of the<br />
dancing. Here in the Christchurch area there<br />
are nine clubs providing the opportunity to<br />
enjoy this pastime Monday to Thursday, plus<br />
a children’s class on Saturday mornings and<br />
combined dances most Saturday evenings.<br />
The health benefits of Scottish Country<br />
Dancing are documented. The physical<br />
movements exercise the body. The patterns<br />
of the dances are great for keeping the brain<br />
on its toes. The music, which lifts the spirits,<br />
and the social interaction complete the<br />
package.<br />

Just step on the mat…<br />
This is the advice given to people who<br />
want to learn aikido, Aikido Shinryukan<br />
Canterbury’s chief instructor Andrew<br />
Williamson says.<br />
“It really is that easy. Of course, every<br />
new student is naturally apprehensive about<br />
beginning a Japanese martial art – we have<br />
all ‘been there’. But to begin you need to take<br />
that first step and it really is not that scary.”<br />
Beginners are eased into training through<br />
basics classes.<br />
“Step by step we build your knowledge.<br />
We focus on beginners understanding the<br />
fundamentals of aikido so they can enjoy<br />
developing their skills. Anyone can do<br />
WORKOUT,<br />
SWIM, RELAX<br />
aikido regardless of age or fitness,” Andrew<br />
says.<br />
“We want students to develop technically<br />
and physically as quickly as they are<br />
capable. We can then introduce them to<br />
more advanced training and international<br />
instructors and build on the total knowledge<br />
base held in our group.”<br />
Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury offers daily<br />
classes for adults and children in Burnside<br />
and Linwood.<br />
For February, beginners may train<br />
for just $20. For more information<br />

Line up for fun –<br />
learn to Line Dance<br />
The dance floor – a place where bills and<br />
responsibility don’t exist, where stress is<br />
gone and nothing matters but the music. The<br />
dance floor is freedom, say the Cathedral<br />
City Line Dancers.<br />
A recent German study tested people<br />
who tried different forms of exercise and<br />
then measured their hippocampuses (the<br />
memory centre of their brains) and those<br />
who did Line Dancing were better protected<br />
from dementia and memory loss.<br />
So, if you like to dance, want a social life<br />
with a friendly bunch of people and a lot of<br />
laughs while exercising your brain, then Line<br />
Dancing could be just what you are looking<br />
for. They even cater for people with two left<br />
feet.<br />
You can have all this, plus meet new<br />
friends by joining Cathedral City Line<br />
Dancers and learning to dance with Mary.<br />

New classes<br />
at Canterbury<br />
WEA (Workers<br />
Educational<br />
Association)<br />
The Canterbury WEA may be over one<br />
hundred years old and be based in a character<br />
building in the city but that does not mean it<br />
has old ways of thinking or that the courses<br />
it offers are old fashioned.<br />
This term we are offering a number of new<br />
classes to tweak your minds and bodies. Belly<br />
dancing for beginners is a cultural experience<br />
as well as a gentle form of exercise and it is<br />
not just for women. Men are very welcome.<br />
The Nordic walking course begins a bit later<br />
in the term and will be making the most of<br />
Hagley Park and the gardens which are so<br />
close. Kazuko is a multi-talented addition<br />
to our tutor list and her Japanese Culture<br />
course will include music, drums and harp<br />
included, food, Ikebana, calligraphy etc.<br />
the music theory class is for beginners but<br />
is also for those who think they may need<br />
a refresher to help then regain skills and<br />
confidence in reading music.<br />
The Social issues soapbox is a series<br />
of one off sessions with speakers on the<br />
Environment, Housing, new Science,<br />
Politics, Economics etc and speakers we<br />
have include Sam Mahon, Dr’s Sylvia Nissen,<br />
Susannah Finlay, Libby Caygill and others.<br />
People who know what they are talking<br />
about and want to be involved in discussion.<br />

Exercise<br />
sharpens young<br />
adult brains<br />
Regular physical activity improves brain function<br />
even in young adults considered in their prime<br />
and at the height of cognitive ability, according to<br />
a University of Otago study.<br />
A body of research already exists showing<br />
aerobic exercise improves brain function<br />
in older adults, but there is a limited<br />
amount of literature on how it affects<br />
young adults.<br />
The Otago researchers, led by<br />
Department of Psychology Senior<br />
Lecturer Dr Liana Machado, set out to<br />
test the oft-held belief that the brains of<br />
young adults in their prime might not<br />
benefit as much as older people from<br />
regular sustained exercise.<br />
They took 52 tertiary students, aged<br />
between 18 to <strong>30</strong>, and put them through<br />
a series of cognitive tests on a computer<br />
while measuring oxygen availability in<br />
the frontal lobe of their brains, as well as<br />
their self-reported exercise frequency.<br />
Dr Machado says their “surprising”<br />
findings, just published online in the<br />
journal Psychophysiology, show that<br />
both blood supply to the brain and<br />
cognitive functioning appear to benefit<br />
from regular exercise in young adults.<br />
“This provides compelling evidence<br />
that regular exercise, at least five days per<br />
week, is a way to sharpen our cognitive<br />
ability as young adults – challenging<br />
the assumption that living a sedentary<br />
lifestyle leads to problems only later in<br />
life,” she says.<br />
The research also provides potential<br />
insight into understanding why people<br />
who regularly engage in aerobic exercise<br />
tend to function better on a cognitive<br />
level.<br />
“I think the idea that young people do<br />
not have to worry about exercising since<br />
they are in their prime developmentally<br />
is rapidly being overturned by mounting<br />
evidence that even the brains of young<br />
adults can benefit from regular exercise,”<br />
she says.<br />
“The exercise could involve brisk<br />
walking or more vigorous activity, and<br />
could be made up of a few 10 minute<br />
bouts of exercise, rather than one single<br />
block of exercise,” she says.<br />
The researchers also found that body<br />
mass index was not a key factor in how<br />
well the brain functioned, indicating that<br />
regular engagement in physical activity<br />
may be more important than body<br />
weight.<br />
Dr Machado says she had noticed<br />
over the years that university students<br />
appeared progressively less fit.<br />
“I wondered whether we might find<br />
significant relationships between exercise<br />
levels, oxygen availability in the brain,<br />
and cognition in the young adults, but<br />
no studies had considered this in healthy<br />
young adults.”<br />
These findings come at a time of<br />
increased scientific focus on links<br />
between exercise and cognitive health in<br />
older adults.<br />

DENTON PARK - NOTICE OF PROPOSED PARTIAL<br />
CHANGES IN RESERVE CLASSIFICATION AND THE<br />
MANAGEMENT PLAN<br />
The proposal to build a new Hornby Library, Customer Services and South West Leisure Centre<br />
on Denton Park requires a part change in reserve classification to one that covers community<br />
buildings, and changes to the Denton Park Management Plan.<br />
DENTON PARK<br />
The project to build a new Hornby Library, Customer Services and South West Leisure Centre is<br />
provided for in the Christchurch City Council’s Long Term Plan 2010-25. The Council at its meeting<br />
on 24 August 2017 approved Denton Park as the preferred location for the new complex. This is<br />
proposed to be sited on part of Denton Park fronting the Main South Road.<br />
Denton Park is a recreation reserve subject to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977. To ensure<br />
the proper control, management, use and development, it is appropriate that the part of Denton<br />
Park reserve on which the new complex is proposed to be sited is classified for the intended<br />
purpose of community buildings. Also, the Denton Park Management Plan is required to be<br />
amended to reflect this proposed development on Denton Park.<br />
The Christchurch City Council thereby gives notice as follows:<br />
Proposed Change of Reserve Classification - Part of Denton Park<br />
It is proposed to change the reserve classification for the parcel of land specified in Schedule A<br />
below from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve in accordance<br />
with Section 24(1)(b) of the Reserves Act 1977.<br />
Schedule A<br />
Part of Rural Section 41<strong>30</strong>4, contained in Computer Freehold Register 504741, comprising 9766<br />
square metres subject to survey and marked “A” on the plan below.<br />
Changes to the Denton Park Management Plan<br />
It is proposed to change the Denton Park Management Plan to accommodate the new Hornby<br />
Library, Customer Services and South West Leisure Centre and to incorporate other minor changes<br />
and corrections.<br />
An indicative plan of the area of land proposed to be subject to the proposed change in reserve<br />
classification, and the draft proposed changes to the Management Plan, are available for inspection<br />
during ordinary office hours at the Civic Offices, 53 Hereford Street, Christchurch. Copies can<br />
also be inspected at the Hornby Library, Goulding Avenue, Hornby, and on the Council’s website<br />
(www.ccc.govt.nz/HaveYourSay).<br />
Persons or organisations interested in these proposals are asked to make submissions or<br />
objections to the Council. These, clearly identifying which matter is being addressed, should be<br />
made in writing no later than 5pm on Monday 26 March <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
You can do this:<br />
• online at www.ccc.govt.nz/HaveYourSay;<br />
• email ann.campbell@ccc.govt.nz;<br />
• mail (no stamp required) to Freepost Authority No. 178, Ann Campbell, Engagement Advisor,<br />
PO Box 7<strong>30</strong>13, Christchurch 8154;<br />
• hand deliver to Civic Offices, 53 Hereford Street.<br />
Submitters should state in their submission if they wish to appear before a hearings panel to be<br />
