CITY COUNCILLORS David<br />

being taken away<br />

It comes after the event has come<br />

under scrutiny from the city council<br />

as part of a city wide review of all<br />

council-run events.<br />

It confirmed last week the event<br />

would go ahead in November, and<br />

if there were to be any changes, they<br />

would not be implemented this<br />

year.<br />

Cr East said he would be debating<br />

strongly and working hard to<br />

persuade other city councillors of<br />

the merit and worth of retaining a<br />

display on the coast.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

WE’VE PUT David East and Glenn<br />

Livingstone on record this week: They have<br />

pledged to fight any attempt to move the<br />

fireworks display from New Brighton.<br />

You wouldn’t expect anything less from<br />

the ward’s two sitting councillors. Now it’s<br />

black and white in the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> there’ll be no wriggle room<br />

for them - not that I am suggesting they would try that.<br />

As far as <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> is concerned the Guy Fawkes display<br />

must stay in New Brighton.<br />

Murmurings from council staff that there are traffic issues as<br />

we reported last week are in my view a red herring. There are<br />

traffic issues everywhere with big events.<br />

Clearly the city council is planning/scheming to move this<br />

great event.<br />

Don’t let them!<br />

Waterfront consent no precedent<br />

• By Sarla Donovan and Georgia<br />

O’Connor-Harding<br />

AN OUTCOME allowing a<br />

property to be built in Redcliffs<br />

is unlikely to help Southshore<br />

and South New Brighton<br />

residents struggling to get<br />

resource and building consents.<br />

An independent hearings<br />

panel has granted Redcliffs<br />

section owner Wendy Gilchrist<br />

resource consent to build on a<br />

waterfront site in Main Rd, after<br />

a year-long wait.<br />

It is a small win in an ongoing<br />

saga where coastal residents living<br />

in the city council’s High Flood<br />

Management Plan area are facing<br />

difficulties obtaining resource<br />

consent to extend their homes or<br />

build on empty sections.<br />

But Coastal- Burwood Community<br />

Board deputy chairman<br />

Tim Sintes said he does not<br />

believe the decision has set a<br />

precedent for others in the same<br />

situation.<br />

He said not a lot of people can<br />

afford to through an independent<br />

hearings panel process and<br />

there is no clear path moving<br />

forward.<br />

The hearing panel said Mrs<br />

Gilchrist’s consent was an exception<br />

and “cannot in any way<br />

create a planning precedent for<br />

applications on sites in other<br />

HOT TOPIC: About 100 people, including Southshore and<br />

South New Brighton residents packed into the Redcliffs<br />

Bowling Club to discuss difficulties they are facing in getting<br />

consents to extend their property.<br />

parts of the Residential Unit<br />

Overlay.”<br />

But following the decision, city<br />

council acting head of resource<br />

consents Andy Christofferson<br />

wrote in a memorandum to<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel the panel’s<br />

ruling would be “valuable in<br />

shaping city council officers<br />

thinking on this matter going<br />

forward.”<br />

It came a day after more than<br />

100 residents met with Christchurch<br />

Coastal Residents United to<br />

hear about issues being faced by<br />

coastal property owners when<br />

trying to get resource and building<br />

consents.<br />

The CCRU is made up<br />

of coastal residents and experts.<br />

The meeting looked at how<br />

1486 sites in a Restricted Unit<br />

Overlay within the High Flood<br />

Hazard Management Area are<br />

being treated by city council<br />

planners.<br />

The CCRU believes a restricted<br />

discretionary activity rule,<br />

recommended by the replacement<br />

District Plan independent<br />

hearings panel, was left out<br />

when the plan was finalised last<br />

year.<br />

Without the discretionary<br />

rule, under the District Plan new<br />

developments or intensification<br />

of land use in the High Flood<br />

Management Plan area is to be<br />

avoided.<br />

Mr Sintes, who attended the<br />

meeting, said it was a very good<br />

meeting and it is going to continue<br />

lobbying to resolve the issue.<br />

Last month Labour MPs Ruth<br />

Dyson, Duncan Webb and Poto<br />

Williams met with members of<br />

CCRU and Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

member Darrell Latham to discuss<br />

the problem and a potential<br />

remedy.<br />

Ms Dyson said after that<br />

meeting they had agreed to do<br />

further investigations before<br />

making a decision on “what<br />

intervention, if any, is necessary<br />

or appropriate.”<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Darrell Latham said he wanted<br />

Greater Christchurch Regeneration<br />

Minister Megan Woods<br />

to use her powers under the<br />

Christchurch Regeneration Act<br />

to fast track changes to the city’s<br />

district plan.<br />

FREEDOM CAMPING<br />

The city council is planning<br />

to update freedom camping<br />

signage at the north and<br />

south ramps in New Brighton<br />

following a request from the<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board. The signage will include<br />

a digital QR code linking to all<br />

city council campgrounds. It is<br />

planned the new signage will be<br />

in place within a month.<br />

GODWIT SCULPTURE<br />

City council staff have<br />

confirmed the Kuaka/Godwit<br />

sculpture planned for Bridge St<br />

is exempt from the building and<br />

resource consent. <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />

previously reported there had<br />

been some delays in the project<br />

due to the resource consent<br />

process and getting the funds<br />

raised. The sculpture is set to be<br />

complete in October in time for<br />

the Godwits’ arrival.<br />

Brighton fireworks<br />

fight starts<br />

•From page 1<br />

He said the items he would<br />

be stressing is the event makes<br />

for great viewing, all fireworks<br />

land in the sea, making it easy<br />

to clean up and no one is at risk<br />

of being hit, he said.<br />

“This has been an integral<br />

part of the event programme of<br />

the east,” he said.<br />

Cr Livingstone said the fireworks<br />

should stay.<br />

“The question has been raised<br />

before over safety concerns but<br />

my view is wherever you hold<br />

the fireworks there is going to<br />

be safety concerns that need to<br />

be addressed anyway.”<br />

He said he suspects council<br />

would be faced with a unanimous<br />

resolution from the Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board to<br />

keep the event where it is.<br />

City council community<br />

support, governance and partnerships<br />

John Filsell said last<br />

week for a number of years it<br />

has received feedback on traffic<br />

management congestion.<br />

But Cr East said while there<br />

are difficulties for traffic exiting<br />

the event, the east has been<br />

compounded by ongoing roadworks.<br />

•From page 1<br />

After reading an article earlier<br />

this year on Mrs Hayes’ 100th<br />

birthday, Ms Smith sent her a<br />

birthday card and wrote to her<br />

asking if she was well enough<br />

on the day, could she go to the<br />

ceremony.<br />

She said the journey the school<br />

had been through was unique.<br />

“I feel an immense sense<br />

of pride in the journey of the<br />

school and what they are now<br />

achieving,” she said.<br />

In 20<strong>07</strong>, Ms Smith encouraged<br />

its board of trustees to apply<br />

for the Ministry of Education<br />

National Building Replacement<br />

Funding programme to rebuild<br />

buildings dating back to the<br />

1940s.<br />

The February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake not only damaged<br />

the school hall but rafted two<br />

other classroom blocks under<br />

construction and severely<br />

damaged the school grounds and<br />

car parks with liquefaction.<br />

Due to the school’s rapid<br />

roll growth, it is awaiting<br />

construction of a fourth<br />

classroom block.<br />

On the day of the earthquake<br />

the school had about 185 pupils<br />

before it went down to 125 in<br />

about a week. It is now sitting at<br />

305.<br />

Ms Smith said the pupils have<br />

never been in a school hall and<br />

it was significant teaching them<br />

about special occasions, the role<br />

of the governor-general and the<br />

commonwealth.<br />

She said it was an “amazing<br />

occasion” to have Dame Patsy<br />

and Sir David attend.<br />

But it was not the only<br />

milestone acknowledged – it<br />

announced its new school name<br />

gifted by Ngai Tahu.<br />

From next year the school will<br />

officially be known as Whitau<br />

School.<br />

Whitau means the purest<br />

and raw form of flax fibre and<br />

is strong and resilient – boding<br />

with the school’s vision and<br />

values.<br />

Ngai Tahu believes the flax<br />

grew abundantly in the north<br />

Linwood area of the school<br />

giving it both a historical and<br />

metaphorical association to<br />

the school and its learning<br />

model.<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

SOUTHSHORE residents<br />

are fed up over inefficient<br />

stormwater drains filling up<br />

when it rains.<br />

At issue is rainwater being<br />

unable to flow out from the<br />

stormwater drains on parts of<br />

Rocking Horse Rd to the Southshore<br />

estuary.<br />

This is due to the pipe running<br />

out to the estuary being buried<br />

which causes the gutters on parts<br />

of Rocking Horse Rd to overflow<br />

with rainwater.<br />

It has been an ongoing problem<br />

for about six years.<br />

It was noted at a recent<br />

Coastal-Burwood-Community<br />

Board meeting there were concerns.<br />

The city council has received<br />

five complaints about surface<br />

flooding on the road in the past<br />

year.<br />

City council land drainage<br />

manager Keith Davison said<br />

PROBLEM: Stormwater drains on parts of Rocking Horse Rd are filling up when it rains due to the<br />

main pipe running to the estuary being buried. ​<br />

drainage along Rocking Horse<br />

Rd is challenging given the low<br />

lying nature of the land.<br />

“The city council will continue<br />

to maintain the outfalls and pipe<br />

networks servicing Rocking<br />

Horse Rd. Temporary pumps<br />

will continue to be deployed<br />

when required,” he said.<br />

Deputy chairman Tim Sintes<br />

said he gets “annoyed” because<br />

it is often viewed as a flooding<br />

issue when the problem is the<br />

stormwater cannot get out of the<br />

drainage system properly because<br />

it is not working properly.<br />

He said the city council bringing<br />

a pump down when there is a<br />

storm or bad weather is a “Band-<br />

Aid fix.”<br />

“This is nuisance flooding that<br />

has gone on for too long. The<br />

gutters are filling up with rain<br />

because the water can’t get out<br />

through a system that can’t operate<br />

efficiently,” he said.<br />

His views were backed by<br />

Rocking Horse Rd resident<br />

Warwick Schaffer, who said, the<br />

city council hiring a pump every<br />

time the street is full of water<br />

was a “ridiculous solution.”<br />

He said the gutters overflow<br />

with every little bit of rain,<br />

which is a “real pain.”<br />

Offshore and Coastal Engineering<br />

Ltd managing director Gary<br />

Teear said from what he had observed,<br />

he thinks the pipe running<br />

into the estuary along with other<br />

pipes on the road have a rubber<br />

duckbill valve at the end of it.<br />

“You have this pipe down at<br />

the estuary and you don’t want<br />

the water coming up the pipe,<br />

so when there is pressure on the<br />

estuary side the duckbill is shut.<br />

Mr Teear said when there is<br />

water pressure on the inside of<br />

the pipe, the valve should open.<br />

But he said because the estuary’s<br />

pipe and valve is so large,<br />

it takes a lot of pressure to open<br />

which was why rainfall was not<br />

opening it. He said possibly<br />

a number of smaller duckbill<br />

valves are needed like a manifold,<br />

which doesn’t require the<br />

same rainfall pressure to open.<br />

FREE digital media course, with NCEA built in<br />

For those looking for a role that combines<br />

artistic and digital talents, then this outstanding,<br />

FREE, entry level course has just been announced<br />

by local Training Provider Trainme, for those<br />

wishing to pursue animation, graphic design,<br />

photography or digital media as a career.<br />

The course covers introduction to multi-media<br />

techniques such as video production, drawing,<br />

animation and photography. Students will create<br />

their own design concepts and collaborate with<br />

other students on creative projects.<br />

This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19<br />

and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join.<br />

Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if they<br />

show artistic or digital aptitude.<br />

“Many feel that school is not working for them<br />

or they left without qualifications,” says Gary<br />

Taylor, Campus Manager with tertiary educator<br />

Trainme. “While not necessarily academically<br />

minded, they do have artistic talents and are very<br />

much into digital technology.”<br />

“This FREE six-month Trainme course, combines<br />

these in a very hands-on, practical way, giving<br />

them an intro into various digital media. This way,<br />

they can decide which direction to pursue as their<br />

career focus.”<br />

“As an NZQA approved programme, NCEA<br />

credits are built in, so if they apply themselves, they<br />

can graduate with a New Zealand Certificate in Arts<br />

and Design Level 2, as well as gaining credits<br />

towards NCEA level 1 or 2.” Says Taylor.<br />

“NCEA results will depend on how many credit<br />

they bring to the course to start with, but as it’s a fun<br />

subject, it won’t feel like school at all.”<br />

Successful Graduates from this programme could<br />

pathway into higher study in media arts, which could<br />

include graphic design, video production,<br />

photography or one of the many emerging digitalbased<br />

careers. Places are limited, so students are<br />

Special medal for<br />

Waimairi golfer<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

WINNER: Waimairi Beach golfer, Allison Doell will<br />

be presented with the Coronation Medal after she<br />

won the national links competition.<br />

WAIMAIRI Beach<br />

golfer Allison Doell was<br />

surprised as anyone when<br />

she won the Coronation<br />

Medal.<br />

The medal was presented<br />

to the New Zealand<br />

Ladies Golf Union by<br />

the Ladies Golf Union in<br />

19<strong>07</strong> to commemorate<br />

the Coronation of King<br />

Edward VII.<br />

The medal, first played<br />

for in 1908, is a silver division<br />

award in the national<br />

home links competition.<br />

It is played for by<br />

women with a handicap<br />

between 0-18.<br />

The competition is a<br />

compilation of national<br />

club results where women’s<br />

golfers play on their<br />

home turf, and their score<br />

is adjusted to account for<br />

their playing handicap<br />

before being compared to<br />

other players, both in the<br />

district and nationally.<br />

Doell’s club played their<br />

Coronation Medal round<br />

in April and she shot 81,<br />

which was adjusted to a<br />

63 nett.<br />

Now that all other<br />

participating clubs have<br />

played their round, Doell<br />

was crowned the winner,<br />

something she was elated<br />

about.<br />

“To be honest I’d forgotten<br />

about it and when<br />

I saw the email come<br />

through I thought it was<br />

an award the whole club<br />

had won and it wasn’t until<br />

I received another email<br />

I read that it was for me,”<br />

she said.<br />

“It’s an amazing feeling,<br />

like winning lotto.”<br />

Doell, who plays off an<br />

eight handicap when on<br />

form, will be presented<br />

with the medal later this<br />

year at the end of the<br />

season.<br />

Doell, who lives in<br />

Harewood has been playing<br />

at the Waimairi Beach<br />

club for more than 35<br />

years after she moved to<br />

Christchurch from Cheviot<br />

to work in the city.<br />

She said while she only<br />

gets to play once a week,<br />

she said it was a privilege<br />

to play a good or bad<br />

round.<br />

“I don’t practice often,”<br />

she said. “When I have<br />

time to play that’s what I<br />

love to do.<br />

“When I shot that round<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

of 81, I couldn’t wait to get<br />

back out on the course and<br />

play again,” she said.<br />

“Even when it’s not going<br />

well, I’m still grateful<br />

for the chance to have<br />

some exercise and walk in<br />

the sun and I often think<br />

of all the ladies I used to<br />

play with who can’t play<br />

golf any more and I think<br />

I’m lucky.”<br />

Doell said while there<br />

were many closer golf<br />

courses to her home, she<br />

would always remain loyal<br />

to Waimairi Beach.<br />

“The club has been good<br />

to me and even through<br />

the earthquakes we still<br />

have a very nice course out<br />

there with great people,”<br />

she said.<br />

“It’s a very technical<br />

course and one that<br />

requires a lot of thought<br />

and skill and that’s what<br />

I like.”<br />

THOMSON Park’s<br />

$400,000-plus makeover<br />

is open for feedback.<br />

Under the<br />

redevelopment, the city<br />

council has proposed<br />

to revitalise the New<br />

Brighton park area,<br />

boosting safety and<br />

accessibility and making<br />

the park more user<br />

friendly with the addition<br />

of several features.<br />

The draft plan includes<br />

a new full basketball court<br />

and picnic area, along<br />

with a sealed car park<br />

“We aim to enhance this<br />

popular space, ensuring<br />

the park and facilities<br />

best meet community<br />

needs in a safe and<br />

open environment,” city<br />

council community parks<br />

manager Al Hardy said.<br />

“We welcome the local<br />

community’s feedback<br />

and suggestions as<br />

the reinvigoration of<br />

New Brighton and the<br />

surrounding areas steps<br />

up.”<br />

A new entrance further<br />

along Marine Parade and<br />

the installation of security<br />

barriers to prevent nighttime<br />

use are key elements<br />

of the safety upgrade. New<br />

post and cable fencing is<br />

also proposed, along with<br />

the replacement of several<br />

trees that are in poor<br />

condition.<br />

Residents can also<br />

attend a drop-in<br />

information session at<br />

New Brighton Library on<br />

<strong>August</strong> 13 between 4pm<br />

and 6pm.<br />

The consultation period<br />

closes on <strong>August</strong> 27, with<br />

a staff report going to<br />

the Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board<br />

for a final decision in<br />

September or October.<br />

The city council hopes<br />

to start work at Thomson<br />

Park by February next<br />

year.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Readers respond to last<br />

week’s article on keeping<br />

the annual city council Guy<br />

Fawkes fireworks event in<br />

New Brighton<br />

Wilhelmina Flick – Please<br />

keep it. We all enjoy it and would<br />

hate to see it go. It’s great for the<br />

businesses and is a wonderful<br />

family event. My vote is for it to<br />

stay.<br />

Aaron Tily – I feel as if the<br />

event should continue to be held<br />

in New Brighton. If need be, get<br />

those who go to the event on<br />

buses. Solves some of the traffic<br />

issues. If Wellington can have<br />

fireworks on the waterfront we<br />

should be allowed them on the<br />

pier.<br />

Sarah Spencer Smith – I<br />

went last weekend and it was<br />

packed out, even at 5pm on<br />

Saturday. No space to change in<br />

women’s changing room. Once<br />

two schools open and clubs return<br />

then there will be no room<br />

for lane swimming. Need a 50m<br />

pool desperately.<br />

Aubrey Walker – Having<br />

it at the end of the pier gives us<br />

the best safety overall. When it<br />

comes to the fireworks therefore<br />

they give us a bigger show and<br />

bigger shells. It’s amazing being<br />

at the end of the pier, it should<br />

never move and the date should<br />

never change.<br />

Jacob Savage – Hagley<br />

Park, because if they continue<br />

to do it at New Brighton beach<br />

there will be so much rubbish on<br />

the beach. It’s got worse over the<br />

past years.<br />

Maria Mann – Keep it<br />

in Brighton. It’s brilliant, we<br />

can watch it from our place in<br />

South Brighton no need to<br />

worry about a park or getting<br />

home.<br />

John Dunphy – When is<br />

this city council going to force<br />

the people remaining on the east<br />

side of town out? Before or after<br />

the lake goes in?<br />

Graham Pownceby – How<br />

about Summit Rd, so we can all<br />

watch it from anywhere in the<br />

city.<br />

Taina Kahutia Tawhitopou<br />

Connell – It stays where its<br />

always been.<br />

John Wooding – Hagley<br />

Park is the obvious place.<br />

We said:<br />

Sport groups and recreational<br />

users are jostling for<br />

space at the new Taiora:<br />

QE II Recreation and Sport<br />

Centre:<br />

You said:<br />

Lynne Cook – I am writing<br />

to say how disappointed we<br />

are in the new QE II complex.<br />

We have found the water temperature<br />

cool to say the least. We<br />

have gone back to Graham Condon<br />

Recreation and Sports Centre<br />

pool as its warmer. Talking to<br />

people they are saying the same<br />

– the pool staff are aware of this<br />

but shrugging it off. I was told<br />

it was cool for the swim squads.<br />

We swim regularly and are even<br />

more disappointed in the size<br />

of the complex. The changing<br />

rooms are very cramped,<br />

two people sitting opposite each<br />

other getting changed have<br />

to be careful not to bang into<br />

each other. The city council has<br />

definitely made a big mistake<br />

with the size of the complex. We<br />

were absolutely horrified to be<br />

turned away one Sunday due to<br />

it being full. The 25m pool was<br />

not full but the complex was. It’s<br />

a real shame.<br />

Gary Knight – Given the volume<br />

of sporting groups that have<br />

endured limited space facilities<br />

prior to the opening of Taiora:<br />

QE II Recreation and Sport Centre,<br />

it would be surely reasonable<br />

to allow them specific time slots<br />

at this venue. A hydroslide, lap<br />

pool, leisure pool, learn to swim,<br />

hydrotherapy, spa sauna and<br />

steam pool bears testimony to<br />

the diverse range of facilities<br />

for the benefit of all. In spite of<br />

parochial viewpoints from some<br />

recreational pool users, rationale<br />

should prevail and concede the<br />

need for specific times from<br />

some sporting groups. Within<br />

this context the sole use of the<br />

25m pool for seven hours weekly<br />

by water polo groups hardly<br />

encroaches on the overall use of<br />

this space for all public personnel.<br />

Kim Button – It’s such a<br />

shame that this iconic site was<br />

not given more pool options. The<br />

old QE II had a dive pool, a 50m<br />

and a 25m lane pool for recreation<br />

and sporting use (as well as<br />

the lazy river and hydroslides).<br />

Seems as though there has been<br />

a genuine lack of vision and<br />

understanding of the true needs<br />

and demands for a decent aqua<br />

recreation facility. And, as we<br />

know, it’s going to be a very long<br />

time before we see the metro<br />

sports centre operating.<br />

Gayle Elizabeth Lord<br />

– Once again they didn’t listen<br />

to those who live in the area,<br />

many of whom used the old QE<br />

II. The situation will only get<br />

worse once we have two high<br />

schools using the facilities.<br />

Meredyth Anderson – I<br />

think that most of the money<br />

went on developing a pool that<br />

could go up and down re: water<br />

depth. I totally agree . . . it’s too<br />

small for the demand and such a<br />

shame.<br />

Thor Major – There is just<br />

not enough space for recreational<br />

users who are not children<br />

there at all. I went one evening<br />

and found no adult swimming<br />

space at all.<br />

Amanda White – Closed<br />

because either too full or “code<br />

brown,” spa too shallow, changing<br />

rooms too small. Dreading<br />

when the schools open.<br />

Tana Helsham – I feel like<br />

they made a huge mistake with<br />

its size. They had an opportunity<br />

to create a world-class swimming<br />

facility for professionals<br />

as well as a large entertainment<br />

pool for families. I did read there<br />

are plans for another pool/park<br />

on Brighton beach. So that could<br />

relieve QE II pressure in like six<br />

years maybe.<br />

Tanya Hyde – Bad planning<br />

on so many levels. Was so looking<br />

forward to finally having a<br />

pool in my area but it’s too busy.<br />

Paula Hemingway – Another<br />

council mistake by the<br />

sound of it. It is never going to<br />

get anything right.<br />

Michelle Ben Haim – It was<br />

obvious from the word go. It was<br />

to small.<br />

Heather Wilkins – At least<br />

there is a pool to fight over on<br />

that side of town. Just enjoy it.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Marie Carney – Take all the<br />

floating devices out and you will<br />

have heaps more room.<br />

Kim Button – David East<br />

(city councillor) wanted them to<br />

build a 50m pool.<br />

Karen Whila – Better get that<br />

Linwood Pool built.<br />

We said:<br />

The Coastal Burwood and<br />

ShirleyPapanui Community<br />

Board met with the Ministry<br />

of Education last week to<br />

discuss concerns it had with<br />

the proposed zone changes<br />

for Avonside Girls’ and<br />

Shirley Boys’ High Schools.<br />

You said:<br />

Vicki Ware – Prestons is closer<br />

to Mairehau than QE II, it wasn’t<br />

included in the zone. The school<br />

runs its own zoning every three<br />

years. I believe they could include<br />

it at that stage, the zone is not<br />

well thought out. South Brighton<br />

is included which is further<br />

away than the school original<br />

zone and Prestons. The MoE has<br />

failed everyone doing consulting<br />

through a school holiday period<br />

and wasn’t well publicised to the<br />

area they were excluding unless<br />

you had a child or were involved<br />

in the school. We were given<br />

options of Mairehau and Haeata<br />

Community Campus. Prestons<br />

has Mairehau High School, not far<br />

at all. This was a closure by stealth,<br />

and a new high school should be<br />

built in Richmond, there are lots<br />

of feeder schools here that will suffer<br />

due to no definite high school<br />

options.<br />

Don Gould – Simply no<br />

engagement from the MoE on<br />

this issue with the community.<br />

Where is the data from the MoE<br />

that these calls are being made<br />

on? What is the plan for schooling<br />

for the southern area around<br />

Richmond now? I really can’t<br />

comment on this issue because I<br />

just know nothing. The MoE has<br />

put nothing in the public domain<br />

that I’ve seen, so the only noise in<br />

the room is simply from objectors<br />

who seem very emotive at best.<br />

Melissa Blair Herrick<br />

responds to the July 24<br />

article on Aranui barber<br />

Luke Koia winning the<br />

open section of the beard<br />

category in the barber craft<br />

competition in Auckland<br />

recently – Does a barber cut<br />

women’s hair? This guy seems so<br />

talented.<br />

We said:<br />

Vandals are breaking into<br />

the earthquake-damaged<br />

New Brighton clock tower<br />

and Sumner-Scarborough<br />

clock tower and city council<br />

is worried it is only a matter<br />

of time before someone<br />

gets hurt.<br />

You said:<br />

Allison Grant – Stupid is<br />

what stupid does. Let the morons<br />

hurt themselves, and when they<br />

go to A&E, get the police to pick<br />

them up and either arrest them<br />

or trespass them . . . either way,<br />

they are morons.<br />

Tiffany Burke – If the council<br />

was really worried then they’d<br />

demolish the buildings. The fact<br />

is the city council doesn’t actually<br />

care to begin with.<br />

Marg Edwards – Dumb answers,<br />

they are still fellow man no<br />

matter what. Okay, so they climb<br />

into the building, that’s the last<br />

thing I’d say on it, not rumblings<br />

from idiots who think everyone<br />

deserves some damage done to<br />

them, not thinking it could be<br />

their daughter, son – just saying.<br />

Holly Traxler-Puddle – It<br />

would be their own fault but I am<br />

sure one of them or all of them<br />

would blame the council for not<br />

putting up enough notices.<br />

Karen Hibberd – Let them<br />

get hurt. Might teach them a lesson.<br />

You can’t fix stupid.<br />

Anne Downie Taylor – Yes,<br />

and is now beautifully restored<br />

to 100 per cent quake standard.<br />

A beautiful heritage building<br />

steeped in local history Avebury<br />

House is no museum – it is a<br />

thriving community hub where<br />

you can find yoga or art classes,<br />

join the new men’s shed, hire<br />

the commercial kitchen, have a<br />

birthday party, or your workplace<br />

meetings, and naturally<br />

it is a stunning setting for that<br />

picture-perfect wedding too.<br />

You can view the history room<br />

or just sit in the cosy community<br />

library with a good book.<br />

In contrast to the neatly kept<br />

flower gardens in front, out<br />

back beyond the paddling pool<br />

and playground, dedicated local<br />

volunteers have created the<br />

Richmond Community Garden.<br />

Raised garden beds, a native<br />

edibles garden and a rain capture<br />

system, it is definitely worth<br />

a visit.<br />

BEAUTIFUL:<br />

Victorian home<br />

Avebury House<br />

is located in<br />

Richmond.<br />

The space was recently used<br />

for a Matariki celebration that<br />

included live music, stalls and a<br />

traditional hāngi.<br />

The restoration and ongoing<br />

management of the house and<br />

grounds has been funded by<br />

council and Government agencies,<br />

but the goal is to make it<br />

into a bustling social enterprise,<br />

a community space supporting<br />

locals and have wonderful annual<br />

events.<br />

So all the very affordable hire<br />

fees for your party, wedding or<br />

meeting goes straight back into<br />

community activity. So a beautiful<br />

venue with the real feel-good<br />

factor.<br />

If you haven’t discovered this<br />

architectural and community<br />

treasure, hopefully, this has<br />

piqued your curiosity – go and<br />

admire one of Christchurch’s<br />

true heritage buildings, one that<br />

has its face to the community’s<br />

future.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Production under way at SBHS<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

GETTING TO work with a<br />

professional playwright for an<br />

original production is a rare<br />

occurrence for any aspiring<br />

performer.<br />

But not for Shirley Boys’ and<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School<br />

students, who will be performing<br />

an original play by Shirley’s head<br />

of drama Ken Hudson.<br />

Mr Hudson, who has previously<br />

written for The Court<br />

Theatre, has developed a new<br />

play inspired by English writer<br />

Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two<br />

Cities.<br />

The original play Two Cities<br />

Told Again has been described by<br />

Mr Hudson as a “psychological<br />

drama” where the main characters<br />

are “heavily conflicted”<br />

between doing what is right and<br />

their passions.<br />

“The main thing was I didn’t<br />

set out to write a school production<br />

because I never do that<br />

I wanted to write a play I would<br />

be happy with so it could be performed<br />

by anybody anywhere,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Hudson said he thought the<br />

scripts for Dickens’ A Tale of Two<br />

Cities was a bit “Victorian” and<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

“melodramatic” which was why<br />

he decided to rewrite the play.<br />

About 50 students will take<br />

part in the production.<br />

It will be Mr Hudson’s sixth<br />

production with Shirley Boys’<br />

after he became a teacher at the<br />

school nine years ago.<br />

In his first production, only<br />

12 students took part (some of<br />

which needed a lot of persuasion).<br />

Mr Hudson said it also didn’t<br />

help with the first production being<br />

at the time of the September<br />

4, 2010, earthquake.<br />

“They did not have much of<br />

a history of drama, they did in<br />

60s and 70s I think but it all sort<br />

of faded out . . . it was a bit of a<br />

rocky road getting it up and running,”<br />

he said.<br />

•Two Cities Told Again will<br />

be performed at the Shirley<br />

Boys’ High School main hall<br />

at 7pm from today through<br />

to <strong>August</strong> 10. Tickets cost<br />

$10 and will be sold at the<br />

door.<br />

DRAMA: Shirley Boys’ High School and Avonside Girls’ High School will perform an original<br />

production by their head of drama and playwright Ken Hudson. ​<br />

Pre-schoolers learn sign language with deaf teacher<br />

• Ashleigh Monk<br />

DEAF WOMAN Jocelyn Thorpe<br />

has never learned sign language.<br />

So when the opportunity came<br />

up for the Linwood pre-school<br />

teacher to learn it with her pupils,<br />

she jumped at the chance.<br />

Ms Thorpe and the children<br />

at Haven Early Learning Centre,<br />

in Linwood have been learning<br />

the basics of New Zealand Sign<br />

Language with the help of van<br />

Asch Deaf Education Centre tutor<br />

Victoria Green.<br />

She said the pre-school welcomed<br />

her with open arms when<br />

she took up her teaching position<br />

at the centre.<br />

“The children have just accepted<br />

me as who I am, not<br />

necessarily as a deaf person, but<br />

just as Jocelyn.”<br />

Ms Thorpe, who could hear<br />

with the help of a cochlear implant,<br />

said learning sign language<br />

could help the children be more<br />

accepting of hearing-impaired<br />

people in their community.<br />

“It has been wonderful, actually,<br />

because they are just so<br />

receptive to learning another way<br />

of communication. And they<br />

seem even more intrigued to find<br />

out that it can help a person that<br />

BILINGUAL: Haven Early<br />

Learning Centre teacher<br />

Jocelyn Thorpe, who is deaf,<br />

has been learning New<br />

Zealand Sign Language with<br />

the pre-schoolers.<br />

has got a hearing impairment,”<br />

she said.<br />

“They know that if somebody<br />

has a hearing impairment<br />

. . . they need to use their sign<br />

language.”<br />

The youngsters had picked up<br />

sign language really well, and<br />

could all sign their name. “We<br />

don’t have high expectations, we<br />

let children learn at their own<br />

pace. So some are quite happy<br />

to use just a few signs, others are<br />

happy to do a few more. We just<br />

celebrate what they have learnt.”<br />

Ms Thorpe said parents often<br />

sat in on the sessions to join their<br />

children in learning sign language,<br />

which encouraged them to<br />

use it outside of pre-school.<br />

The idea to kick start sign language<br />

lessons at the centre came<br />

from teacher Clair McConchie.<br />

Ms McConchie said it was important<br />

for the children to learn<br />

NZSL, not only to communicate<br />

with hearing impaired people,<br />

but also to use sign as a way of<br />

expressing themselves.<br />

“They know signs like ‘hungry’<br />

and ‘thirsty’ . . . so they can communicate<br />

every day sentences by<br />

using their signs.” She had been<br />

learning sign language herself<br />

for the past three months, and<br />

wanted to share what she had<br />

learnt with the children.<br />

“More people should learn (sign<br />

language). I hope it catches on to<br />

other pre-schools; it’s so important,<br />

it just bridges that gap in the<br />

deaf community.”<br />

pupils.<br />

TASTY: Masi Stowers makes the most of the free breakfast put on by the<br />

Aranui Community Trust.<br />

Trust dishes up<br />

free brekkie to<br />

Aranui children<br />

FREE breakfasts<br />

including sausages, egg<br />

muffins, cereal, fruit and<br />

milo were served up to<br />

students and pupils on<br />

their way to school in<br />

Aranui.<br />

The Aranui Community<br />

Trust fed 106 pupils,<br />

students and their families<br />

as part of its monthly<br />

Brekky on the Run.<br />

The free breakfast<br />

was dished up outside<br />

the trust’s office on<br />

Hampshire St.<br />

Students and pupils at<br />

the breakfast were from<br />

Haeata Community Campus,<br />

St James School and<br />

Linwood North School.<br />

Trust worker Sheree<br />

Rangihuna said it could<br />

not run the event without<br />

the generosity of its<br />

valued sponsors. Brekky<br />

on the Run is supported<br />

by Iron Bridge Real Estate<br />

and the eggs are donated<br />

by Camilla Obel and Matt<br />

Hall.<br />

Said Ms Rangihuna:<br />

“(The breakfast) is really<br />

nice and quite engaging<br />

because you are getting<br />

that one-on-one with<br />

people who want to stop<br />

and talk.” The trust’s<br />

next community lunch<br />

will be held on Thursday<br />

from 11am at Cafe 53 on<br />

Hampshire St, Aranui.<br />

The Christchurch Centre was started due<br />

to requests made to have a highly qualified<br />

authentic Tibetan Buddhist teacher<br />

residing in the city and carrying out weekly<br />

teachings, meditation classes and retreats.<br />

Fulfilling this request Geshe-la now teaches<br />

every Tuesday night and Sunday morning.<br />

• Geshe-la graduated from the largest<br />

Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the<br />

world, Sera Monastic University<br />

in South India. His main teachers<br />

included His Holiness the Dalai Lama,<br />

the late Venerable Khensur Urgyen<br />

Tseten, Venerable Khensur Kangurwa<br />

Lobsang Thupten and Venerable<br />

Khenpo Lobsang Palden.<br />

• Geshe-la arrived in New Zealand in<br />

2008 teaching originally in Dunedin<br />

then through requests moved to<br />

Christchurch 2011, ever since proving<br />

to be lively and entertaining, fresh<br />

and eloquent. Certainly he is very<br />

experienced, having taught younger<br />

monks in the monastery, in his home<br />

region of Tibet and for 3 years in<br />

the traditionally Tibetan-Buddhist<br />

country of Mongolia. Having Geshela<br />

to teach in Christchurch therefore,<br />

is quite a wonderful opportunity for<br />

people to make a deep connection<br />

with age-old teachings.<br />

• At the Centre Geshe-la’s classes focus<br />

on understanding the mind, mind<br />

training and meditation practices.<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

Phen Day Dhargyey Ling (Tibetan)<br />

- ‘A Centre for the Source of Benefit and<br />

Happiness’ is the meaning of the name given<br />

by the esteemed lama Lhagon Rinpoche.<br />

The Christchurch people have the wonderful opportunity to engage in Tibetan Buddhist<br />

philosophy and tradition with the local resident spiritual ‘friend’, as he likes to be referred<br />

as, Venerable Geshe Nyima Dorje (Geshe-la).<br />

Meditation & Mind Training;<br />

• How to generate love, compassion,<br />

generosity and patience. The purpose<br />

is to create a peaceful mind. When<br />

our mind is disturbed it lacks love,<br />

compassion and patience. If we know<br />

how to generate these qualities we<br />

can create a more peaceful mind. We<br />

have accustomed our minds more to<br />

disturbances. We know that as we can<br />

see how easy it is to become angry and<br />

how much effort is needed to remain<br />

patient. Familiarisation is the key.<br />

Also if we apply our understanding<br />

to our own situation; we need to<br />

be loved and if we need this then it<br />

is fair to say others also want to be<br />

loved. If we generate this to others<br />

then we gain the benefits, as we then<br />

receive love and compassion. ‘Others’<br />

mean all beings, if we have this<br />

mental expansion there are enormous<br />

benefits.<br />

• As long as we have strong compassion<br />

we have more patience, from this we<br />

don’t get angry as quickly or as easily<br />

then we have peace of mind.<br />

• The Mind Training constitutes these<br />

kinds of practices, learning and<br />

practicing how to become acquainted<br />

with these qualities of mind, so that<br />

arises spontaneously, or at least are<br />

generated more easily.<br />

took over. Customers come from<br />

right around the New Brighton and<br />

Parklands areas, and further afield,<br />

with some people who moved to the<br />

outskirts of Christchurch following<br />

the earthquakes still coming back to have<br />

their vehicles serviced at New Brighton<br />

Small co-ed classes at St Michael’s<br />

Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their<br />

classroom calm and productive<br />

or a disharmony of noise and<br />

movement? How much of their<br />

teacher’s attention does your child<br />

actually receive?<br />

At St Michael’s, our small co-ed classes<br />

and specialist teachers ensure your child is<br />

an individual, well known by staff and fellow<br />

pupils alike. For at the heart of St Michael’s<br />

are the essential values of Christian faith<br />

and good citizenship: respect, integrity,<br />

faith, hope and love.<br />

St Michael’s is a prep school so your<br />

child is assured of a traditional foundation<br />

in English and Mathematics. This<br />

academic rigour then underpins our wider<br />

curriculums in Science, History, Geography<br />

and Spanish. IT literacy is taught, not<br />

assumed, and computer use is measured.<br />

We like teaching and talking to our pupils!<br />

Cultural and sports’ programmes<br />

develop your child’s foundation further,<br />

as creativity and problem-solving come<br />

in many forms. Specialist art and music<br />

classes are enjoyed weekly; and most pupils<br />

play at least one instrument, whether piano<br />

or flute, bassoon or bongos. There are two<br />

choirs, and drama lessons.<br />

And our extended campus is spectacular:<br />

today, the Art Gallery; tomorrow, the<br />

Gardens; next week…<br />

St Michael’s has been nurturing and<br />

educating children for 167 years, and our<br />

pupils come from city-wide, arriving via<br />

the bus exchange only a block away or<br />

with parents who work in the thriving city<br />

centre.<br />

You and your child are warmly welcome<br />

to discover for yourselves our purposeful,<br />

wholehearted and inclusive prep school.<br />

Cathedral Grammar<br />

The Cathedral Grammar School is an<br />

independent school providing high-quality<br />

education for pre-school, primary school<br />

and intermediate aged girls and boys.<br />

This is a place of ambition alongside<br />

preparation where students learn from the<br />

best right from the start. Every year level<br />

benefits from the expertise of our highcalibre<br />

specialist teachers across multiple<br />

subjects. And small class sizes means a<br />

lot of individual attention so every child’s<br />

strengths are identified and built on and<br />

support provided where and when needed.<br />

Our school structure is unique and<br />

designed to ensure students have the<br />

opportunity to make the most of their<br />

formative school years. We understand<br />

learning happens in different ways at<br />

different ages; our students work in both<br />

co-educational and single-sex learning<br />

environments at times when this best suits<br />

their learning styles. In Pre-School and<br />

the Junior School children learn in a coeducational<br />

environment. Students in Years<br />

4 to 8 attend either our Boys’ or Girls’ School.<br />

Allowing students the best of both worlds,<br />

single sex classes offer the opportunity to<br />

target and deliver the curriculum in the<br />

most effective and interesting style possible,<br />

while social skills are developed by sharing<br />

mixed-environment break times, specialist<br />

classes and activities.<br />

Creativity and culture play a<br />

big role here with four choirs and<br />

hundreds of individual music,<br />

speech and drama lessons every<br />

week. We’re also a proud sporting<br />

school, providing students with<br />

the facilities and encouragement<br />

to try their hand at a range of<br />

sports and recreation activities.<br />

Ultimately, we are committed<br />

to providing a balance of<br />

tradition and rigour, while being<br />

curious and adventurous every<br />

day.<br />

Let the learning<br />

adventure begin<br />

SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2019<br />

Middle schooling<br />

makes a difference<br />

Having a curriculum and learning<br />

environment designed specifically for<br />

learners in the “middle years” (Years 7-10) is<br />

essential to ensure high levels of motivation<br />

and engagement in learning during this<br />

crucial stage of schooling.<br />

At Hillmorton High School having a<br />

consistent approach without a transition<br />

to a new school between Year 8 and 9 is<br />

proving to be positive in terms of<br />

accelerating student learning within<br />

the Middle School.<br />

We are currently working with<br />

our architects designing a new<br />

Middle School building with 22<br />

“General Learning Areas”. These<br />

areas are flexible and can operate as<br />

single cell classrooms or be opened<br />

up to allow more open learning<br />

spaces – the best of both worlds.<br />

This building will not disrupt<br />

learning as it is being built on the<br />

current tennis courts.<br />

This environment fits well<br />

with our broad Middle School<br />

curriculum allowing learners to<br />

explore and find both their strengths<br />

and passions.<br />

The advantage of combining<br />

the skills of Year 7 and 8 specialist<br />

teachers with the subject specialists<br />

of a high school gives our Middle<br />

School learners a huge advantage.<br />

Additionally, our “Big Day Out”<br />

events and end of year student<br />

electives allow our young people to learn in<br />

a range of environments often participating<br />

in social action such as planting, working<br />

with the elderly, along with exploring the<br />

city, the Art Gallery and the university.<br />

Our Middle School is ensuring real<br />

educational success and positive future<br />

prospects as students move into the Senior<br />

School for Years 11-13.<br />

Providing<br />

our students<br />

with learning<br />

and personal<br />

growth<br />

opportunities<br />

At St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School,<br />

our mission is that we are “choosing<br />

to be an innovative, catholic learning<br />

community that inspires and empowers<br />

learners to succeed.”<br />

We are committed to inspiring and<br />

empowering students for success,<br />

through the implementation of innovative<br />

instructional practices, leveraging digital<br />

technology, ensuring equity of access for<br />

all.<br />

We offer a range of sporting and cultural,<br />

innovative and creative opportunities.<br />

Teaching and learning experiences are<br />

personalised for our students and value<br />

student voice.<br />

Within our new flexible learning spaces<br />

every child has the opportunity to learn<br />

through authentic contexts, solving real<br />

world problems.<br />

Together we continue to innovate within<br />

a Catholic learning environment where all<br />

learners are inspired to learn, create and<br />

share. We are creating learners who will<br />

not only be successful but will become<br />

people who will positively impact on their<br />

world.<br />

Selwyn House School -<br />

small class sizes and talented<br />

teaching staff<br />

For primary school, every parent wants<br />

to ensure their child is receiving the best<br />

foundation for their academic future.<br />

Selwyn House School has small class sizes<br />

and a talented teaching staff set within a<br />

nurturing environment and an extensive<br />

range of opportunities.<br />

Selwyn House offers the International<br />

Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years<br />

Programme (PYP) and is proud to be a<br />

leading STEAM focused school. We not only<br />

encourage our girls to work in advanced<br />

STEAM fields, we want our girls to lead<br />

them. Our STEAM Hub provides every<br />

student from Year 1 to 8 access to stateof-the-art<br />

equipment. In Mechatronics,<br />

girls learn the foundations of mechanical<br />

and electrical knowledge. Robotics is<br />

introduced as an interdisciplinary, projectbased<br />

learning activity drawing mostly<br />

on mathematics, science and technology.<br />

Learning is also enhanced by additional<br />

opportunities including the <strong>2018</strong> Space<br />

Camp trip where 18 girls will travel to the<br />

United States to attend a week-long Space<br />

Camp.<br />

A supportive all-girl learning<br />

environment encourages girls to take<br />

risks without fear of failure. As the girls<br />

progress they are confident in their<br />

abilities, understanding that perseverance<br />

helps them grow. A school-wide buddy<br />

programme provides each girl with support<br />

and mentoring.<br />

Learning is personalised and each<br />

teacher has the time to foster authentic<br />

and meaningful relationships. Strong<br />

relationships between the class teacher and<br />

family ensure each girl’s learning journey<br />

is nurtured by a partnership of support.<br />

Teachers construct learning activities<br />

to help each girl identify their personal<br />

strengths.<br />

Selwyn House believes these strengths<br />

can be applied to academic tasks<br />

and become more powerful with the<br />

acquisition of skills and knowledge, aiding<br />

intellectual development and academic<br />

achievement. For this reason core learning<br />

in reading, writing and mathematics is<br />

a priority. Specialist teachers in Spanish,<br />

Mechatronics, Art, Science, Physical<br />

Education, Swimming, Performing Arts<br />

and Music work with classroom teachers to<br />

help identify the strengths of every girl.<br />

The environment at Selwyn House<br />

empowers each girl to embrace their future<br />

and develop a love of learning. A Selwyn<br />

House girl will learn to define herself,<br />

accept responsibility, form opinions,<br />

and have compassion for the world. This<br />

combination of achievement, confidence,<br />

and character makes a Selwyn House<br />

education a powerful and transformative<br />

experience.<br />

present the awards to the whole school.<br />

Mr Kime said it was a significant<br />

achievement to have 25 years of friendship<br />

with KCB, which was why the school<br />

wanted to make a big<br />

deal of the awards at its<br />

assembly.<br />

“Having Lianne with<br />

us was such a privilege<br />

and a honour and it is<br />

not the sort of thing<br />

she does everyday,<br />

going out to schools,”<br />

he said.<br />

Pupils from Korea Ross Willocks<br />

and China were also<br />

welcomed at the assembly and were the<br />

first children from overseas to be hosted<br />

at the school since the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake.<br />

The certificates also acknowledge<br />

Queenspark’s commitment towards the<br />

maintenance and upkeep of Queenspark<br />

In November, the school will receive<br />

a 25-year service award for its long<br />

association with Keep Christchurch<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

Grape seeds<br />

shown to have<br />

remarkable<br />

health benefits!<br />

According to researchers grape seeds<br />

may hold the potential to treat and prevent<br />

many devastating disorders. The seeds<br />

have been found to contain many powerful<br />

antioxidant that have been shown to<br />

support the natural healing process and<br />

even slow the aging process.<br />

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown<br />

to reduce inflammation, pain, increase<br />

cell energy, protect protein structures and<br />

increase collagen production. The powerful<br />

antioxidants can tone and strengthen<br />

the blood vessels, improve blood flow,<br />

making it valuable for circulatory disorders<br />

of all kinds, including varicose veins,<br />

haemorrhoids, hardening of the arteries<br />

and impaired blood flow to the brain. It<br />

is excellent for most skin conditions with<br />

many noticing the skin becomes smoother.<br />

GSE offers a natural alternative for many<br />

people with hypertension. (High Blood<br />

Pressure) Higher B/P puts more stress<br />

on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis<br />

(hardening of the arteries) and increased<br />

risk of heart disease and strokes.<br />

Recent studies on people with elevated<br />

B/P found GSE to significantly lower B/P<br />

but with no effect on people with normal<br />

B/P. Animal studies have shown GSE to<br />

improve heart function, reduce damage<br />

caused by heart attacks and prevent arterial<br />

plaque.<br />

A growing number of studies show that<br />

GSE has powerful anticancer properties,<br />

can help balance blood sugar, improve<br />

arthritis and protect brain cells. It may prove<br />

vital in the treatment of brain disorders like<br />

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.<br />

Numerous studies on GSE show it can<br />

help support our good health and prevent<br />

many degenerative diseases. Further<br />

detailed information is available from<br />

1 in 2 people<br />

deficient in B12<br />

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

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

Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />

Center found those most deficient<br />

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />

brain mass and the lowest scores on<br />

tests measuring short-term memory,<br />

concentration and brain performance.<br />

Another study showed that older people<br />

with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />

have bigger, healthier brains and score<br />

higher on cognitive tests than those with<br />

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark<br />

study showed that B12 supplementation<br />

slows the accelerated rate of brain<br />

shrinkage and declining cognitive function.<br />

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

health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,<br />

nerve health and repair, and prevention<br />

of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />

risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />

and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also<br />

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

researchers found<br />

a 34% decrease<br />

risk of vision<br />

loss in a study<br />

of participants<br />

aged 40+ who<br />

supplemented with<br />

B12. Another study<br />

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />

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

The reason so many people lack B12<br />

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />

it declining with age as the digestive<br />

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />

medication and other drugs further reduce<br />

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

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and<br />

thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in<br />

the body.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Choosing the<br />

right heat pump<br />

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<br />

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

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

PEGASUS POST<br />

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

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />

in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />

outside their 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 />

HOME & HEATING<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<br />

Ltd is a locally owned and<br />

operated firm. The team<br />

understands the problems<br />

caused by rising damp and are<br />

there to help. They will come<br />

to your damp home and pump<br />

a lightweight, flowable foam<br />

concrete under your timber<br />

floored home. Specially adapted<br />

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 />

What does this mean if you have a tenant? It is very likely they will be checking, as what an incentive!<br />

($4000.00). MBIE has said there are no excuses as landlords have had 3 years by July 2019 to get their<br />

properties up to compliance. Christchurch City Council have been running a scheme called Build Back<br />

this program and are issuing compliance certificates to landlords (if they comply of course)<br />

“Living Fully in Dying<br />

and Death?”<br />

Dying and especially death have become<br />

increasingly taboo subjects in our modern<br />

western society. This course will involve reflective<br />

consideration of the recent important literature<br />

of how to live life to the full when facing the last<br />

of life’s major stages of dying and death. This is<br />

at a time when more people are living longer and<br />

are becoming more removed from the reality of<br />

what it means to be mortal. Attention will also<br />

be drawn to recent research on palliative care and<br />

how it informs people to face approaching death<br />

not with trepidation but openness, clarity and<br />

understanding. This is an information sharing,<br />

reflective course and is not therapeutic in format.<br />

It will be a six-week course of 2 hour sessions; held<br />

on Thursday afternoons, 2 – 4 pm, commencing<br />

on 23rd <strong>August</strong>. The course will be facilitated by<br />

Rodney Routledge and others and be interactive<br />

in format.<br />

THAT’S right folks! DND Showband returns<br />

to the Hornby Club this Saturday with the<br />

original line up.<br />

“We’ve had a lot of fun putting this show<br />

together, ”said Jo-Anne Davern, performer<br />

and manager of the band. “It’s been a good<br />

couple of years since this line up last<br />

performed together and I’m amazed at how<br />

simply we all slotted back in place. It’s like<br />

we were never apart.”<br />

Joining Jo on stage will be regular<br />

members Ben Harvey (guitar, vocals); Grant<br />

McPhie (bass, keys); and Mark Newburn<br />

(drums, vocals), along with showband<br />

chanteuses Michele Webb, Gina Gilbreath,<br />

and Mel Lawson.<br />

Christchurch based DnD Showband has<br />

been delighting audiences across the<br />

country with their multi-tribute theme<br />

shows for an incredible ten years. In<br />

rehearsal mode for Saturday’s show, the 7<br />

piece troupe has been busy fine tuning show<br />

content, sorting costumes and tightening up<br />

moves.<br />

“We’ve put together a great play list<br />

guaranteed to get everyone up dancing.<br />

We’re opening with a set of 50s/60s tunes,<br />

followed by our Moulin Rouge theme set<br />

that brims with disco dance anthems of the<br />

70s/80s, and concluding with our tribute to<br />

ABBA,” said Jo. “And for those who prefer to<br />

listen and watch, our professional tech’s<br />

Peter Standring and Peter ‘Pedro’ Buchan-Ng<br />

will be out front running our audio and<br />

light systems to ensure it sounds and looks<br />

wonderful.”<br />
