A GROUP of passionate<br />

gardeners has reached a<br />

milestone – one year of growing<br />

a community garden in the red<br />

zone.<br />

The Richmond Community<br />

Garden celebrated its first<br />

birthday last week, marking a<br />

Zealand leased the biggest<br />

piece of land it had ever leased<br />

to a community group last<br />

year.<br />

But the garden was so successful<br />

the lease was adjusted in six<br />

months to .8ha.<br />

Co-founder Cathy Allden<br />

said she thinks the group is<br />

very lucky to have the calibre of<br />

volunteers it has.<br />

“Because we have been on this<br />

journey post-earthquake together<br />

we are a really tight group<br />

and I think that is something<br />

powerful and you can’t recreate<br />

the right people, the right time<br />

and the right circumstance,” she<br />

said.<br />

its ups and downs with thieves<br />

stealing more than $550 of garden<br />

tools from its storage shed<br />

earlier this year.<br />

SLOW PROGRESS to recover<br />

New Brighton’s commercial<br />

centre has left businesses<br />

lacking confidence the city<br />

council will follow through on<br />

its plans.<br />

It has been more than three<br />

years since the city council approved<br />

the New Brighton Centre<br />

Master Plan.<br />

It planned to extend Oram Ave<br />

through to the main thoroughfare<br />

of Hawke St, creating a new<br />

north-south shopping and entertainment<br />

precinct, sheltered from<br />

the easterly wind.<br />

Development Christchurch Ltd<br />

has been tasked as the lead agency<br />

for the regeneration.<br />

Businesses have been left “disheartened”<br />

and are questioning if<br />

the city council will carry through<br />

on its plans.<br />

Coupland’s Bakeries New<br />

Brighton store manager Cherie<br />

Douglas said from what she has<br />

seen since the earthquakes she<br />

is not confident the plan will be<br />

implemented.<br />

“People are just disheartened<br />

. . . they don’t want to come this<br />

way. The roads are absolutely rubbish,”<br />

she said.<br />

from the reporter’s desk<br />

THE BLEAK outlook businesses have over New Brighton’s<br />

future means action to revive the area needs to be taken now<br />

more than ever.<br />

The fact is some businesses, such as Crema Cafe, are only staying<br />

in the area in the hope that the city council and Development<br />

Christchurch Ltd will do something to improve it.<br />

The New Brighton Centre Master Plan, approved in 20<strong>15</strong>, gave<br />

businesses vision and hope.<br />

But now, three years down the line, businesses are in need of<br />

more assurance the city council’s plans will get under way soon<br />

so they can continue to invest in the area.<br />

New Brighton has great potential and the city council’s plans<br />

have the power to transform it into a thriving hub.<br />

Let’s hope something happens sooner rather than later.<br />

Stanmore Rd petition gains momentum<br />

Resident calls<br />

for 30km/h<br />

speed limit<br />

• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia<br />

O’Connor-Harding<br />

A PETITION to address safety<br />

concerns at a “dangerous”<br />

pedestrian crossing on Stanmore<br />

Rd is gaining traction.<br />

More than 500 signatures have<br />

been gathered by Richmond<br />

resident Gillian<br />

Sheard in a bid<br />

to slow traffic<br />

down and make<br />

the crossing more<br />

visible to drivers.<br />

She is calling<br />

Deon<br />

Swiggs<br />

for the speed on<br />

Stanmore Rd to<br />

be reduced from<br />

50km/h to 30km/h.<br />

Ms Sheard is also pushing<br />

for the pedestrian crossing to<br />

either be raised or have traffic<br />

lights placed at the Stanmore Rd/<br />

Avalon St corner.<br />

“I am scared like anything<br />

there is going to be a near death<br />

of major accident,” she said.<br />

Ms Sheard said there are a lot<br />

of elderly and disabled people in<br />

the area and she wants everyone<br />

ADVOCATE: Richmond resident Gillian Sheard has started a<br />

petition to address safety concerns at a pedestrian crossing<br />

on Stanmore Rd.<br />

to be safe. The pedestrian<br />

crossing has been a concern for<br />

more than two years and<br />

Ms Sheard first raised her<br />

concerns to the city council in<br />

2016.<br />

She believes the problem is<br />

drivers are too concerned about<br />

getting through the intersection<br />

of North Avon Rd and Stanmore<br />

Rd and are not looking for pedestrians.<br />

About <strong>15</strong>,000 vehicles<br />

use the road daily.<br />

City council transport operations<br />

manager Steffan Thomas<br />

said staff had considered options<br />

to reduce the safety risk and<br />

the recommendation is to not<br />

upgrade the crossing.<br />

This was due to its relatively<br />

low-use, no pedestrian-related<br />

crashes, and to ensure safety<br />

improvement funds are allocated<br />

wisely.<br />

He said there is no justification<br />

to reduce Stanmore Rd to<br />

30km/h or plans to upgrade the<br />

crossing in the future.<br />

The owner of Stanmore Rd’s<br />

The Sideline Sports Bar, Nikki<br />

Bradley, said she has been there<br />

for five years and has seen a lot of<br />

people nearly hit on the crossing.<br />

“It is a very dangerous crossing<br />

. . . if you walked out onto it<br />

expecting them to stop you are<br />

playing with your life as far as I<br />

am concerned,” she said.<br />

Miss Bradley said she would<br />

like to see a similar design to the<br />

pedestrian crossing on Williams<br />

St in Kaiapoi, where the footpath<br />

is built out onto the road to make<br />

pedestrians more visible.<br />

She is “shocked” nothing has<br />

been done about it.<br />

Blue Tiki Hair owner Juanita<br />

Scandrett said the crossing is just<br />

the “tip of the iceberg” and the<br />

whole area is “downtrodden”.<br />

City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />

said some simple things can<br />

be done to make it more noticeable.<br />

Dallington<br />

Residents’<br />

Association<br />

chairwoman<br />

Bebe Frayle<br />

writes about<br />

the suburb’s<br />

need to<br />

for a new<br />

community hub<br />

The people of Dallington have<br />

been deeply affected by the earthquakes.<br />

Two-thirds of the area has been<br />

depopulated in the development of<br />

residential red zone, and traditional<br />

community meeting places that<br />

were important for community<br />

connectedness were lost.<br />

This has created fragmentation<br />

and social isolation in our community<br />

– we do not have a place to<br />

meet, to gather, to talk about our<br />

issues.<br />

We have watched with interest as<br />

other areas have had beautiful new<br />

community spaces built.<br />

We do not begrudge them, but<br />

many Dallington residents feel that<br />

they have been left out of the postearthquake<br />

community regeneration.<br />

Looking at the Long Term Plan,<br />

it does not seem that this trend is<br />

going to change.<br />

There is no capital expenditure allocated<br />

to the Burwood Ward in the<br />

LTP for community initiatives.<br />

We felt that we have waited<br />

patiently for our turn, but that our<br />

turn may never come.<br />

The Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board has been<br />

provided funding for a feasibility<br />

study to consider locations and uses<br />

of a community facility, but there<br />

is little point in completing this if<br />

there is no funding available for us<br />

to built our hub.<br />

We recognise that it is not possible<br />

for every suburb in the east to get<br />

new community facilities.<br />

So, we have been working collaboratively<br />

with the residents associations<br />

in Burwood and Avondale to<br />

think of ways to get a community<br />

hub for our residents.<br />

Our community is prepared to<br />

think creatively to get the community<br />

space we need, but this will only<br />

get us so far.<br />

We don’t have the resources to<br />

raise our own community centre -<br />

we need the city council’s help with<br />

this.<br />

We are ready to move on, and we<br />

are looking forward – soon there<br />

will be a green spine winding its way<br />

through our community, and great<br />

opportunities will come with this.<br />

Old Aranui Primary may rise again<br />

• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia<br />

O’Connor-Harding<br />

A CHURCH has expressed<br />

an interest in using the former<br />

Aranui Primary School site.<br />

St George’s/Iona Presbyterian<br />

Church on Breezes Rd is looking<br />

at purchasing the school site<br />

when it becomes available.<br />

Reverend Sheena Dickson has<br />

described it as a “brave and bold<br />

move” for the small parish of 25.<br />

“What we are thinking of is<br />

a place for the community to<br />

worship . . . the possibilities are<br />

exciting,” she said.<br />

The church’s former site<br />

was severely damaged in the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />

and it currently doesn’t have a<br />

permanent place to worship.<br />

The city council currently allows<br />

the church a permit to use<br />

a house on Pages Rd, but it will<br />

run out soon.<br />

It also shares its spaces with<br />

parishes, including the New<br />

Brighton Union Church and<br />

Linwood Avenue Union Church.<br />

The school site, located on 257<br />

Breezes Rd, is currently being<br />

passed on from the Ministry of<br />

Education to Land Information<br />

New Zealand to start the disposal<br />

process.<br />

The MoE is determining if<br />

the site is required for another<br />

POTENTIAL: St George’s/Iona Presbyterian Church has<br />

expressed an interest in purchasing the former Aranui Primary<br />

School site when it becomes available.<br />

public work. The primary school<br />

closed in 2016 when it merged<br />

with Aranui High, Avondale<br />

Primary and Wainoni School<br />

to form Haeata Community<br />

Campus.<br />

Rev Dickson said the church<br />

would like to keep the existing<br />

tenants on the school site as<br />

it wants to be “engaged in the<br />

community as much as possible.”<br />

The site is currently used<br />

by under-five parenting programme,<br />

The Incredible Years,<br />

and alternative education programme,<br />

Te Kupenga o Aranui.<br />

“It is very tentative at the moment<br />

for us . . . we would have<br />

to have huge support from the<br />

wider church,” Rev Dickson<br />

said.<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board member Tim Baker believes<br />

the idea “will be brilliant”<br />

and a “massive<br />

benefit to the<br />

community.”<br />

Mr Baker<br />

said retirement<br />

villages are lacking<br />

in the area<br />

and people are<br />

being forced to<br />

move out of their<br />

communities to<br />

receive this care.<br />

“They are trying to stay in<br />

their houses for as long as<br />

Tim Baker<br />

they can because they don’t want<br />

to move out of their communities.”<br />

He believes it would be a waste<br />

of money to pull the school<br />

buildings and hall down.<br />

“If (the church) bought the<br />

site, they could use the buildings<br />

and hall for church purposes,<br />

and rooms could also be rented<br />

to tenants, some of which are<br />

already there.”<br />

A timeline of when the property<br />

will be purchased could not<br />

be confirmed.<br />

Organisation<br />

receives<br />

boost from<br />

engineering firm<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

THE CANTERBURY Down<br />

Syndrome Association has<br />

received a boost of $12,420 from<br />

structural engineering firm<br />

Constructure.<br />

To celebrate its 10th anniversary,<br />

Constructure launched a<br />

Givealittle page in April, inviting<br />

its customers to donate to a good<br />

cause as an ‘unorthodox birthday<br />

present.’<br />

The firm donated $10,000 and its<br />

clients donated $2420.<br />

Constructure founder Cory Bedford<br />

said he was excited that his<br />

clients got into the spirit.<br />

“I really want to thank all our<br />

customers for their generosity that<br />

will make a big difference for a<br />

small local charity like the CDSA.”<br />

‘All Blacks of singing’<br />

win 11th national<br />

Sweet Adelines title<br />

WINNING IS now second<br />

nature for the Christchurch<br />

City Chorus, which took home<br />

the national Sweet Adelines<br />

competition title for the 11th<br />

time.<br />

The group has finished first<br />

in every national barbershop<br />

competition it has entered since<br />

forming in 1987, and has been<br />

referred to as the “All Blacks of<br />

singing.”<br />

Singing under the direction<br />

of musical director Virginia<br />

Humphrey-Taylor, the team is<br />

made up of 130 women, mainly<br />

from Christchurch.<br />

In the competition held earlier<br />

this month, contestants were<br />

assessed by four international<br />

judges from the United States<br />

and Sweden.<br />

Said Ms Humphrey-Taylor:<br />

“The judges were excited to see<br />

a performance of such a high<br />

international level. The beautiful<br />

singing and the high energy field<br />

that was delivered was thoroughly<br />

enjoyed.”<br />

As the national champion,<br />

the group will represent New<br />

Zealand at the Sweet Adelines<br />

international competition in<br />

New Orleans next year.<br />

But the city council’s head of<br />

urban regeneration, urban design<br />

and heritage Carolyn Ingles said<br />

the plan has not been deferred.<br />

“The draft LTP allocates more<br />

than $4.5 million in funding to<br />

upgrade Marine Pde and Brighton<br />

Mall . . . and for tree pits and<br />

rain gardens in the commercial<br />

centre,” she said.<br />

The plan also includes additional<br />

funding for New Brighton<br />

projects over the next three years<br />

including $9.7 million for phase<br />

one of the hot water salt pools,<br />

the South New Brighton Park<br />

Development and the Pages Rd<br />

Bridge replacement.<br />

Ms Ingles said the master plan<br />

always anticipated projects would<br />

be delivered over a short, medium<br />

and long-term time-frame.<br />

It comes after Eastern Vision<br />

raised concerns over the master<br />

plan’s progress to the city council’s<br />

Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028.<br />

In a submission it said, if the<br />

plan is not moved forward, “irreparable<br />

damage will be done to<br />

the communities and businesses<br />

served by this hub”.<br />

Eastern Vision spokesman<br />

Evan Smith told <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />

the master plan has never been<br />

delivered on, a part from on the<br />

foreshore.<br />

He said when he talks to<br />

business, landowners and community<br />

organisations they are<br />

very “disillusioned” and have no<br />

confidence in the city council or<br />

DCL.<br />

Mr Smith said there was a<br />

“large outcry” from New Brighton<br />

in the last LTP.<br />

“This time they are so disillusioned,<br />

so disengaged with the<br />

process they thought why even<br />

bother to say anything anymore.<br />

They have given up,” he said.<br />

So far, as part of the plans the<br />

New Brighton Beachside Playground<br />

has been completed and<br />

work is yet to begin on the New<br />

Brighton hot pools.<br />

Mrs Douglas said while<br />

the playground is “lovely” for<br />

residents, it is not going to bring<br />

Crema Cafe owner Raj Kaur<br />

said the only reason she is keeping<br />

the business is the hope the<br />

city council will improve the<br />

area.<br />

“I hope they do something. It is<br />

really heartbreaking,” she said.<br />

But city councillor Glenn Livingstone<br />

said he thinks progress<br />

is going well with the playground<br />

already in place and progress on<br />

the hot pools under way.<br />

The Canterbury-Tasman<br />

Community garden group celebrates<br />

•From page 1<br />

The group has various projects<br />

under way including running a<br />

shop on Wednesdays and Saturdays<br />

selling feijoas, walnuts, bees<br />

wax and food wraps, kale powder<br />

and lavender cream.<br />

“People come in and buy. It<br />

is just a huge compliment<br />

people are supporting what<br />

we are doing,” Miss Allden<br />

said.<br />

The group has started a native<br />

gardening section, planted heritage<br />

and apple trees and weaved<br />

garden beds.<br />

Last week co-founder Hayley<br />

Guglietta made a submission to<br />

the city council’s Long Term Plan<br />

<strong>2018</strong>-2028 to discuss options for<br />

the garden becoming an extension<br />

of Avebury Park.<br />

It is hoping the city council<br />

will take over the land to give<br />

certainty the garden is permanent.<br />

Miss Alden said the ultimate<br />

goal is to have a clubhouse in<br />

2021 so it can do more workshops,<br />

sell produce and potentially<br />

run a bike hire, picnic areas<br />

and have a outdoor pizza oven.<br />

“We are applying for funding<br />

but the idea is we will be selfsustaining,”<br />

she said.<br />

Retirement<br />

village residents<br />

win battle over<br />

bus access<br />

DIANA ISAAC Retirement<br />

Village residents have won<br />

the battle of the buses after<br />

Environment Canterbury bent<br />

over backwards to include them<br />

on a new route.<br />

About 80 pensioners living in<br />

the retirement village on Philpotts<br />

Rd, Mairehau, presented a petition<br />

to ECan, pleading for it to<br />

reconsider route changes to the<br />

Orbiter bus which would see their<br />

closest bus stop move 900m away<br />

from the village.<br />

ECan originally proposed cutting<br />

their bus route outside the<br />

village and moving it 1km away<br />

to Innes Rd. But, during a packed<br />

meeting in the village on Friday,<br />

ECan staff presented a new route.<br />

ECan chairman Steve Lowndes<br />

said he hoped residents liked what<br />

had been planned.<br />

“I told you (at the protest) we<br />

would bend over backwards to<br />

find a solution to suit you.”<br />

The new proposal will see the<br />

No 44 Shirley bus connect close to<br />

the village, and a new stop will be<br />

provided <strong>15</strong>0m from the entrance.<br />

The bus will run every half<br />

hour, with extended hours for<br />

Peni gets ‘new perspective’ in bush<br />

A HAEATA Community<br />

Campus student has walked<br />

away with a new perspective on<br />

life after taking part in a popular<br />

outdoor adventure programme.<br />

Year 13 student Peni Junior<br />

Iva, aka PJ, has returned from<br />

three weeks at Outward Bound.<br />

He went with 13 other<br />

“watchmates”, all from different<br />

parts of the country, and all<br />

with their own individual<br />

backgrounds.<br />

“Everyone was different, they<br />

all had inspiring stories,” said PJ.<br />

He was awarded a scholarship<br />

to attend the 21-day course at<br />

the Outward Bound centre in<br />

Anakiwa, Queen Charlotte<br />

Sound.<br />

Its ‘school leadership’ course<br />

is designed to help young people<br />

become fitter and stronger and<br />

further develop their social<br />

skills and confidence.<br />

The outdoor experience was<br />

a highlight for PJ. “We did a<br />

lot of activities, like kayaking,<br />

tramping, rock climbing, high<br />

ropes and sailing, all of them<br />

were new for me.”<br />

Rock climbing while<br />

blindfolded gave PJ the<br />

opportunity to trust himself and<br />

trust others.<br />

“I was shaking and my arms<br />

were giving up, but once you get<br />

to the top and see the amazing<br />

IN THE WILD: Peni Junior Iva (inset) stayed in a camp like this as part of his Outward Bound<br />

experience.<br />

view, you are proud of yourself.”<br />

Learning mental toughness<br />

and how to handle frustration<br />

and anger were some key skills<br />

that PJ learnt through the<br />

various challenges.<br />

The staff taught him about<br />

“living in the moment” and<br />

“not stressing about things you<br />

cannot change”.<br />

The solo experience, which<br />

involves spending two nights<br />

and two days alone in the bush,<br />

gave PJ a chance to reflect on<br />

life.<br />

Describing the experience,<br />

PJ said “they drop you off at<br />

night, so I just focused on what<br />

I needed to do to get set up and<br />

then getting to sleep as soon as<br />

possible.”<br />

While on his own, he thought<br />

about all the good things in his<br />

life that weren’t with him there,<br />

particularly his family.<br />

“I missed my nephew a lot,”<br />

he said.<br />

It was hard to say goodbye to<br />

his ‘watchmates’ but good to<br />

be home. And his family has<br />

noticed a change – they say he’s<br />

more patient.<br />

What would he say to others<br />

interested in Outward Bound?<br />

“Just do it, live in the<br />

moment,” PJ said.<br />

Parker to tee off against world’s best<br />

SPORTS<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

CHRISTCHURCH club golfer<br />

Tom Parker will tee off with<br />

the New Zealand team at the<br />

junior golf World Cup in Japan<br />

next month.<br />

Parker will join Juliana<br />

Hung and Hiroki Miya,<br />

of the Russley club, in the<br />

seven-strong team, alongside<br />

Aucklanders Carmen Lim and<br />

Rose Zheng, Kevin Koong<br />

from North Harbour and<br />

Shaun Campbell from Bay of<br />

Plenty.<br />

The selection comes on<br />

the back of what has been<br />

a remarkably successful<br />

12 months for the three<br />

Canterbury golfers.<br />

It will be Parker’s second<br />

time competing in the<br />

tournament. Last year he<br />

finished 24th overall and<br />

helped the New Zealand boys<br />

team to finish sixth.<br />

“It’s my favourite event I’ve<br />

ever played in,” said Parker.<br />

“The course layout is<br />

awesome. It’s perfectly<br />

manicured, narrow with either<br />

tree trouble or out-of-bounds<br />

either side so you’ve got to hit it<br />

straight.”<br />

After finishing his final year<br />

SWING: Tom Parker (above) will join Hiroki Miya and Juliana Hung in the New Zealand team<br />

to tee off at the junior golf World Cup in Japan next month.<br />

at Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

School in 2017, Parker has<br />

been able to concentrate on his<br />

game before beginning college<br />

at the University of Oregon in<br />

the United States.<br />

With a strong support unit<br />

around him, he’s confident of a<br />

good result in Japan.<br />

“I feel like going back<br />

there this time I have extra<br />

confidence. . . . I’ve been there<br />

before and will be doing a few<br />

things differently this time<br />

around,” said Parker.<br />

He will be joined in the four<br />

strong boys team by Miya, who<br />

is having a year to remember<br />

after the biggest win of his<br />

young golfing career at the<br />

Faldo Series Asia grand-final<br />

in Vietnam in March.<br />

“I’m really excited. I think<br />

we have a really strong team<br />

and have an opportunity to do<br />

really well,” said Miya.<br />

Hung will look to continue<br />

a strong run of results in<br />

New Zealand and abroad when<br />

she represents the girls team.<br />

The New Zealand stroke<br />

play champion represented<br />

her country last week at<br />

the Queen Sirikit Cup –<br />

Asia-Pacific amateur ladies<br />

golf team championship in<br />

Thailand.<br />

The junior golf World Cup<br />

will feature <strong>15</strong> men’s and nine<br />

women’s teams.<br />

The tournament runs from<br />

June 10-<strong>15</strong> at the Chukyo Golf<br />

Club Ishino course.<br />

Having three Christchurch<br />

golfers named in the team is<br />

a rare accomplishment and a<br />

strong sign of a talented young<br />

crop of golfers emerging in the<br />

region.<br />

“We are very proud of the<br />

achievement to have Juliana,<br />

Tom and Hiroki selected<br />

to represent New Zealand<br />

at the junior World Cup<br />

event, it’s quite a remarkable<br />

achievement,” said Canterbury<br />

Golf development manager<br />

Rachel Thow.<br />

“These players have<br />

worked hard to earn their<br />

selection in this team and will<br />

gain valuable international<br />

experience amongst some of<br />

the best junior players in the<br />

world.”<br />

SPORTS<br />

FOCUSED: Shirley’s Heneli Moala sets his sights on a loose ball.<br />

SBHS go down to Lincoln<br />

in another close contest<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School’s<br />

second half rally wasn’t enough<br />

as a late penalty saw them lose<br />

18-20 to Lincoln Combined on<br />

Saturday.<br />

SBHS had trailed 12-6 at halftime<br />

in their UC Championship<br />

round two fixture at Lincoln<br />

High School before they came<br />

to life.<br />

Two tries to open the second<br />

half saw them turn their six<br />

point deficit into a six point lead<br />

midway through the final stanza.<br />

While Lincoln replied with an<br />

unconverted try of their own,<br />

SBHS cling to a one point advantage<br />

until the final minutes.<br />

SBHS had the chance to<br />

extend their advantage with<br />

several long-range penalty goal<br />

attempts, but each failed to split<br />

the uprights. Lincoln calmly slotted<br />

the match-winner 5min from<br />

full-time.<br />

SBHS will look for their first<br />

Burnside-based preschool and nursery,<br />

The Enchanted Garden, was handed over<br />

to new owner-operator Debbie Taylor in<br />

October. She has been in early childhood<br />

management for over seven years and has<br />

three children of her own. Along with the<br />

familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s<br />

vision is to continue the high quality care<br />

and reputation that The Enchanted Garden<br />

has maintained since 1995.<br />

The centre offers children a home away<br />

from home, with a philosophy based on<br />

holistic, individualised care. They engage<br />

higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow better<br />

care and attention. The centre is staffed with a<br />

team of professional educators and nurturers<br />

who are highly trained and passionate about<br />

creating happy experiences.<br />

The setting is warm and home-like in<br />

nature while the playground and indoor<br />

environment have been designed to allow<br />

children to safely explore and learn with<br />

confidence. This is supported by a strong<br />

curriculum designed for active and exciting<br />

play.<br />

With 10 spaces in their nursery, and 23<br />

spaces in their preschool, the centre provides<br />

the complete early childhood service. The<br />

fluidity of care allows children to form close<br />

bonds while families enjoy peace of mind.<br />

SCHOLARSHIPS & SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

Ultimate campus taking shape<br />

at QEII Park<br />

Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for<br />

Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools is progressing<br />

rapidly with opening on track for next year.<br />

Sue and John.<br />

The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre<br />

with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey<br />

turf, four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café,<br />

and a large library and learning centre.<br />

Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley<br />

Boys’ High School Headmaster John Laurenson are<br />

excited by the progress.<br />

“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that<br />

will peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel<br />

framing is up and the concrete slabs are down and we<br />

can see now just how big this campus will be – it’s simply<br />

wonderful,” says John Laurenson.<br />

“You can finally see all that we have been talking about<br />

and dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with<br />

our students, staff and community making the most of all<br />

of the fantastic new facilities before we know it.”<br />

The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will<br />

be the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single<br />

sex schools will be co-located.<br />

John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the<br />

schools to offer students more.<br />

“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to<br />

build bigger and better facilities.”<br />

Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better<br />

educational opportunities.<br />

“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects,<br />

so we can offer students wider choice and there’s also<br />

the opportunity to work together on co-curricular<br />

opportunities – such as productions, sports competitions<br />

and the like.”<br />

Both principals are keen to point out that the colocation<br />

is not a merger.<br />

“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll<br />

work together, but both schools will retain their own<br />

culture, identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed<br />

school,” says John Laurenson.<br />

“Research shows that single sex education benefits<br />

both boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform<br />

better academically and girls participate more. This new<br />

campus, has been designed so that students will still<br />

spend most of their time in a single sex environment.”<br />

Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the<br />

east of Christchurch will be proud of.<br />

“We’ll be right alongside the new QE2 Sport and<br />

Recreation Centre, the School of Gymnastics and have a<br />

satellite unit for Ferndale School onsite. It’s going to be a<br />

great place to learn.”<br />

AVONSIDE GIRLS’<br />

HIGH SCHOOL<br />

OPEN EVENING<br />

Thursday 24 <strong>May</strong> <strong>2018</strong> from 5.00pm – 7.00pm<br />

The evening begins in the gymnasium at 5.00pm, with an<br />

address from the Principal Mrs Sue Hume, and student<br />

representatives. A tour of the school follows, with the<br />

opportunity to talk to teachers and students.<br />

We look forward to welcoming all prospective students and<br />

families for 2019.<br />

Headache & Migraine<br />

can be treated<br />

Scm<br />

The crosses are the area of the<br />

muscle spasms (triggerpoints).<br />

The red areas is where the<br />

pain is felt.<br />

Temporalis<br />

muscle<br />

Neck muscle that causes headaches, earaches and facial pain.<br />

Most headaches and migraines are<br />

caused by an accumulation of<br />

factors. Factors like the condition<br />

of your spine, neck, jaw and face muscles,<br />

but also posture, breathing pattern and<br />

your ability to manage stress. Once the<br />

threshold is reached, you will suffer a<br />

headache. Research shows in most cases,<br />

the neck plays a significant role (Dwyer<br />

et al. 1990). Migraine sufferers who react<br />

well to migraine medication have excellent<br />

results when treated for neck dysfunction<br />

(Pavese et al. 1994).<br />

Our physiotherapists have extensive<br />

experience in treating headaches and<br />

can quickly determine what treatment is<br />

needed. This often leads to a significant<br />

decrease in both the intensity and<br />

frequency of your headaches.<br />

As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk<br />

explains, when our muscles tighten this<br />

can refer pain to many of the areas around<br />

the face and head. Dehydration can be the<br />

catalyst for tightening the neck muscle<br />

(SCM), which causes pain in the ear,<br />

forehead and around the eye and jaw-joint<br />

areas. Tightening of the temporalis muscle<br />

can refer pain to the teeth, which can be<br />

confusing when you visit the dentist to<br />

have it checked and the dentist can’t find a<br />

reason for the recurring pain.<br />

Teeth grinding at night and teeth<br />

clenching during the day are also a major<br />

cause of muscle tightening.<br />

Physiotherapy treatment for these<br />

problems is based on deactivating the<br />

‘trigger points’ through hands-on massage<br />

therapy to relax the muscles, which is the<br />

least invasive and a very effective form<br />

of treatment. Dry needling is another<br />

technique used for muscle relaxation, and<br />

can be used with the client’s consent, Ietje<br />

says.<br />

Immediate relief is achieved by releasing<br />

your tight muscles. At the same time we<br />

work on the cause of the problem. For<br />

example, a “feedback” headband can be<br />

provided to be worn at night to help you<br />

The muscle that causes headaches and toothaches.<br />

learn not to clench your teeth while asleep.<br />

Sometimes we need to work on the neck<br />

part of your spine, where overuse or stress<br />

can cause muscles to tighten, creating pain:’<br />

Teaching self-management of stress can<br />

also be an important aspect of the total<br />

treatment, as well as teaching breathing<br />

techniques, which go hand in hand with<br />

managing stress.<br />

Our qualified physiotherapists specialise<br />

in dealing with chronic pain, such as<br />

headaches, earache, toothache, and facial<br />

and jaw pain. ………………...We can help<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Supporting Your<br />

Bowel & Digestive<br />

Function Helps<br />

Prevent Disease<br />

It is most important to keep the whole<br />

digestive & elimination systems of the<br />

body working efficiently. Otherwise toxins<br />

that have not been eliminated set the stage<br />

for disease. Many diseases have been linked<br />

with micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial<br />

component. Generally these microorganisms<br />

or bacteria can only survive<br />

due to the fact that the environment they<br />

are in is suitable for their survival. Non<br />

eliminated toxins are probably one of the<br />

main causative factors for their survival.<br />

We know that when the digestive system<br />

& bowel function are poor we have many<br />

more health problems. These include<br />

arthritis, digestive problems like reflux &<br />

stomach pain, bladder infections, chronic<br />

skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis &<br />

rashes, poor eyesight, pain & inflammation,<br />

tumors & a weakened immune system just<br />

to name a few.<br />

Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />

highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />

support the whole digestive system & it is<br />

especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />

bowel & intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />

used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />

digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds &<br />

influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, skin<br />

conditions like eczema & psoriasis, urinary<br />

infections, liver dysfunction, Candida,<br />

weakened immune function & for people<br />

who want to keep their health as good as<br />

possible.<br />

The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />

production of digestive fluids & bile for<br />

efficient digestion. This alone may help<br />

prevent many diseases as a properly working<br />

digestive system will itself neutralise many<br />

disease causing organisms before they<br />

have a chance to cause any problems. LBS<br />

II also stimulates peristaltic action of the<br />

colon effectively cleansing the colon of any<br />

accumulated build-ups of waste material. It<br />

also relaxes abdominal cramping & spasms,<br />

enhances liver function, purifies the blood,<br />

neutralizes acidic conditions, helps destroy<br />

intestinal parasites & worms, & fights<br />

infection.<br />

Keeping your digestive system & bowels<br />

functioning efficiently is definitely &<br />

important step in obtaining & maintaining<br />

good long term health.<br />

1 in 2 people<br />

deficient in B12<br />

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults<br />

& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />

Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most<br />

deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest<br />

scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &<br />

brain performance. Another study showed that older people with<br />

higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &<br />

score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet<br />

another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation<br />

slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive<br />

function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,<br />

regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &<br />

prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor<br />

that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can<br />

also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a<br />

34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+<br />

who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk<br />

of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />

The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s<br />

ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system<br />

becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs<br />

further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />

the form of Methylcobalamin<br />

sublingual tablets that are<br />

dissolved in the<br />

mouth & thru<br />

bypassing the<br />

digestive tract have<br />

been shown to<br />

effectively raise B12<br />

levels in the body.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Choosing the right heat<br />

pump for your home<br />

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />

most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />

if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />

convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />

to press a button. But how do you decide what<br />

is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is<br />

key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every<br />

situation varies and it is therefore important<br />

to get professional advice from heat pump<br />

experts.<br />

The range varies from wall mounted high<br />

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />

central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />

very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />

to a constant temperature throughout.<br />

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />

is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />

taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />

building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />

available with different heating outputs so it<br />

is important to select the correct size for your<br />

requirements that will handle the job but not<br />

be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />

Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />

is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />

installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />

unit however this is not necessarily always the<br />

best option. It is vital that the indoor unit is<br />

positioned in a place that will not be constantly<br />

blowing on you. Also important, is the location<br />

of the outdoor unit. Most people do not want<br />

their outdoor unit sitting directly in their<br />

outdoor entertaining area or right outside their<br />

bedroom window.<br />

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />

have come and gone over the years but there<br />

are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary<br />

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems<br />

and price, so it depends on your application as<br />

to which will be most suitable. Major brands<br />

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,<br />

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands<br />

backed up by good technical after sales service.<br />

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />

accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />

correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />

validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />

Other things to consider when choosing a<br />

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />

capabilities.<br />

Heating is a major investment in your home<br />

and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />

installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />

to which system will suit your application<br />

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />

Get rid of<br />

dampness<br />

in your house<br />

Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />

its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />

to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />

healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of<br />

our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />

many people have relocated to homes<br />

that suffer from rising damp which can be<br />

associated with health problems. Independent<br />

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can<br />

rise from the ground and enter a house every<br />

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation<br />

and musty smells. Moulds can produce<br />

various allergic reactions and the<br />

frail, elderly and very young are<br />

especially vulnerable.<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd<br />

is a locally owned and operated<br />

firm. The team understands the<br />

problems caused by rising damp<br />

and are there to help. They will<br />

come to your damp home and<br />

pump a lightweight, flowable<br />

foam concrete under your<br />

timber floored home. Specially<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

adapted for our New Zealand conditions and<br />

applications it provides a layer of protection<br />

against rising moisture. An unexpected<br />

benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam<br />

Concrete have noticed recently, is that many<br />

owners of properties which had underfloor<br />

foam concrete installed, reported that it also<br />

provided protection against liquefaction after<br />

the earthquakes.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Fresh air<br />

in your home<br />

All houses require air exchange in order<br />

to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live<br />

in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air<br />

quality is important for the health of the<br />

occupants. Houses can have many sources of<br />

contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,<br />

pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening<br />

the windows can refresh the air, but is not<br />

always an option for security reasons and can<br />

also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.<br />

Although older houses have small gaps<br />

around windows and doors, you want to be<br />

able to control the flow of air. You don’t want<br />

air coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and<br />

pushing the soiled air around the house. It<br />

is better to expel the air out of kitchens and<br />

bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in<br />

from the rest of the house to replace the air that<br />

has been removed.<br />

Modern houses are very airtight and<br />

theoretically require a source of incoming air<br />

to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to<br />

work optimally. Ventilation systems should be<br />

low air velocity and low air pressure so as not<br />

to cause draughts.<br />

There are two main types of ventilation<br />

system: Positive pressure and Balanced<br />

pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the<br />

Dry-Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into<br />

the house, which then percolates through the<br />

rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.<br />

Balanced pressure systems bring in a<br />

similar amount of air to the amount they<br />

exhaust. Balanced pressure systems with<br />

Heat Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the<br />

heat of the outgoing air to warm the incoming<br />

air from outside. These are the most energy<br />

efficient systems available, as they recover up<br />

to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than<br />

losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just<br />

as well cooling incoming air when the house is<br />

cooled in summer.<br />

The NZ building code has recommended<br />

air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain<br />

the required airflow for your home, please<br />

contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />

(0800 766 684), who will also be able to<br />

recommend a solution if your ventilation<br />

doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.<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 />

showroom, 95 Gasson St, phone 0800 225<br />

Celebrating 56 years<br />

on the local music scene<br />

NEVILLE Wilkins & the Viscounts celebrate<br />

56 years on the music scene this weekend<br />

making them one of New Zealand’s longest<br />

established dance bands.<br />

Straits, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, Englebert<br />

Humperdink, and Elvis Presley,” said Neville.<br />

“So we play a good mixture of 50's, 60's, 70's<br />

ballads, rock and roll, country and even Irish.”<br />

Today the Viscounts - Neville Wilkins<br />

(trumpet); Christine Williams (vocals); Dave<br />

Petrie (keyboards); Ray Harris (guitar);<br />

Graeme Wallis (bass); John Wilson (drums) -<br />

still perform at private functions and the<br />

occasional public show.<br />

‘Famous for their roasts!’<br />

Christchurch trumpeter, Neville Wilkins<br />

formed the band in 1962 and during its career<br />

The Viscounts has had around 60 members,<br />

with some staying as long as 20 years.<br />

Their first residencies included<br />

Christchurch’s 500 Club in Chancery Lane and<br />

The Town & About in Peterborough St,<br />

followed later by the Bush Inn Courts and<br />

Twiggers.<br />

With a career spanning well over five<br />

decades, the group has adapted its repertoire<br />

with time and today play a wide selection of<br />

material.<br />

“I always aimed for the band to play the<br />

most popular artists, such as Ricky Nelson,<br />

Billy Vaughan, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gene<br />

Pitney, Eddie Calvert, Neil Diamond, Dire<br />

Neville Wilkins & the Viscounts appear at<br />

the Woolston Club, Hargood St, this Saturday<br />
