It comes after the event has come

under scrutiny from the city council

as part of a city wide review of all

council-run events.

It confirmed last week the event

would go ahead in November, and

if there were to be any changes, they

would not be implemented this

year.

Cr East said he would be debating

strongly and working hard to

persuade other city councillors of

the merit and worth of retaining a

display on the coast.

from the editor’s desk

WE’VE PUT David East and Glenn

Livingstone on record this week: They have

pledged to fight any attempt to move the

fireworks display from New Brighton.

You wouldn’t expect anything less from

the ward’s two sitting councillors. Now it’s

black and white in the Pegasus Post there’ll be no wriggle room

for them - not that I am suggesting they would try that.

As far as Pegasus Post is concerned the Guy Fawkes display

must stay in New Brighton.

Murmurings from council staff that there are traffic issues as

we reported last week are in my view a red herring. There are

traffic issues everywhere with big events.

Clearly the city council is planning/scheming to move this

great event.

Don’t let them!

Waterfront consent no precedent

• By Sarla Donovan and Georgia

O’Connor-Harding

AN OUTCOME allowing a

property to be built in Redcliffs

is unlikely to help Southshore

and South New Brighton

residents struggling to get

resource and building consents.

An independent hearings

panel has granted Redcliffs

section owner Wendy Gilchrist

resource consent to build on a

waterfront site in Main Rd, after

a year-long wait.

It is a small win in an ongoing

saga where coastal residents living

in the city council’s High Flood

Management Plan area are facing

difficulties obtaining resource

consent to extend their homes or

build on empty sections.

But Coastal- Burwood Community

Board deputy chairman

Tim Sintes said he does not

believe the decision has set a

precedent for others in the same

situation.

He said not a lot of people can

afford to through an independent

hearings panel process and

there is no clear path moving

forward.

The hearing panel said Mrs

Gilchrist’s consent was an exception

and “cannot in any way

create a planning precedent for

applications on sites in other

HOT TOPIC: About 100 people, including Southshore and

South New Brighton residents packed into the Redcliffs

Bowling Club to discuss difficulties they are facing in getting

consents to extend their property.

parts of the Residential Unit

Overlay.”

But following the decision, city

council acting head of resource

consents Andy Christofferson

wrote in a memorandum to

Mayor Lianne Dalziel the panel’s

ruling would be “valuable in

shaping city council officers

thinking on this matter going

forward.”

It came a day after more than

100 residents met with Christchurch

Coastal Residents United to

hear about issues being faced by

coastal property owners when

trying to get resource and building

consents.

The CCRU is made up

of coastal residents and experts.

The meeting looked at how

1486 sites in a Restricted Unit

Overlay within the High Flood

Hazard Management Area are

being treated by city council

planners.

The CCRU believes a restricted

discretionary activity rule,

recommended by the replacement

District Plan independent

hearings panel, was left out

when the plan was finalised last

year.

Without the discretionary

rule, under the District Plan new

developments or intensification

of land use in the High Flood

Management Plan area is to be

avoided.

Mr Sintes, who attended the

meeting, said it was a very good

meeting and it is going to continue

lobbying to resolve the issue.

Last month Labour MPs Ruth

Dyson, Duncan Webb and Poto

Williams met with members of

CCRU and Linwood-Central-

Heathcote Community Board

member Darrell Latham to discuss

the problem and a potential

remedy.

Ms Dyson said after that

meeting they had agreed to do

further investigations before

making a decision on “what

intervention, if any, is necessary

or appropriate.”

Linwood-Central-Heathcote

Community Board member

Darrell Latham said he wanted

Greater Christchurch Regeneration

Minister Megan Woods

to use her powers under the

Christchurch Regeneration Act

to fast track changes to the city’s

district plan.

He said the items he would

be stressing is the event makes

land in the sea, making it easy

to clean up and no one is at risk

of being hit, he said.

“This has been an integral

part of the event programme of

Cr Livingstone said the fireworks

should stay.

“The question has been raised

before over safety concerns but

my view is wherever you hold

the fireworks there is going to

He said he suspects council

After reading an article earlier

this year on Mrs Hayes’ 100th

birthday, Ms Smith sent her a

birthday card and wrote to her

asking if she was well enough

on the day, could she go to the

ceremony.

She said the journey the school

had been through was unique.

“I feel an immense sense

of pride in the journey of the

school and what they are now

achieving,” she said.

In 2007, Ms Smith encouraged

its board of trustees to apply

for the Ministry of Education

National Building Replacement

Funding programme to rebuild

buildings dating back to the

1940s.

The February 22, 2011,

earthquake not only damaged

the school hall but rafted two

other classroom blocks under

construction and severely

damaged the school grounds and

car parks with liquefaction.

Due to the school’s rapid

roll growth, it is awaiting

construction of a fourth

classroom block.

On the day of the earthquake

the school had about 185 pupils

before it went down to 125 in

about a week. It is now sitting at

305.

Ms Smith said the pupils have

never been in a school hall and

it was significant teaching them

about special occasions, the role

of the governor-general and the

commonwealth.

She said it was an “amazing

occasion” to have Dame Patsy

and Sir David attend.

But it was not the only

milestone acknowledged – it

announced its new school name

gifted by Ngai Tahu.

From next year the school will

officially be known as Whitau

School.

Whitau means the purest

and raw form of flax fibre and

is strong and resilient – boding

with the school’s vision and

values.

Ngai Tahu believes the flax

grew abundantly in the north

Linwood area of the school

giving it both a historical and

metaphorical association to

the school and its learning

model.

SOUTHSHORE residents

are fed up over inefficient

stormwater drains filling up

when it rains.

At issue is rainwater being

unable to flow out from the

stormwater drains on parts of

Rocking Horse Rd to the Southshore

estuary.

This is due to the pipe running

out to the estuary being buried

which causes the gutters on parts

of Rocking Horse Rd to overflow

with rainwater.

It has been an ongoing problem

for about six years.

It was noted at a recent

Coastal-Burwood-Community

Board meeting there were concerns.

The city council has received

five complaints about surface

flooding on the road in the past

year.

City council land drainage

manager Keith Davison said

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

main pipe running to the estuary being buried.

drainage along Rocking Horse

Rd is challenging given the low

lying nature of the land.

“The city council will continue

to maintain the outfalls and pipe

networks servicing Rocking

Horse Rd. Temporary pumps

will continue to be deployed

when required,” he said.

Deputy chairman Tim Sintes

said he gets “annoyed” because

it is often viewed as a flooding

issue when the problem is the

stormwater cannot get out of the

drainage system properly because

it is not working properly.

He said the city council bringing

a pump down when there is a

storm or bad weather is a “Band-

Aid fix.”

“This is nuisance flooding that

has gone on for too long. The

gutters are filling up with rain

because the water can’t get out

through a system that can’t operate

efficiently,” he said.

His views were backed by

Poor drains upset Southshore residents

When it

rains, it

floods


Rocking Horse Rd resident

Warwick Schaffer, who said, the

city council hiring a pump every

time the street is full of water

was a “ridiculous solution.”

He said the gutters overflow

with every little bit of rain,

which is a “real pain.”

Offshore and Coastal Engineering

Ltd managing director Gary

Teear said from what he had observed,

he thinks the pipe running

into the estuary along with other

pipes on the road have a rubber

duckbill valve at the end of it.

“You have this pipe down at

the estuary and you don’t want

the water coming up the pipe,

so when there is pressure on the

estuary side the duckbill is shut.

Mr Teear said when there is

water pressure on the inside of

the pipe, the valve should open.

But he said because the estuary’s

pipe and valve is so large,

it takes a lot of pressure to open

which was why rainfall was not

opening it. He said possibly

a number of smaller duckbill

valves are needed like a manifold,

which doesn’t require the

same rainfall pressure to open.

Special medal for

Waimairi golfer

• By Jacob Page

WINNER: Waimairi Beach golfer, Allison Doell will

be presented with the Coronation Medal after she

won the national links competition.

WAIMAIRI Beach

golfer Allison Doell was

surprised as anyone when

she won the Coronation

Medal.

The medal was presented

to the New Zealand

Ladies Golf Union by

the Ladies Golf Union in

1907 to commemorate

the Coronation of King

Edward VII.

The medal, first played

for in 1908, is a silver division

award in the national

home links competition.

It is played for by

women with a handicap

between 0-18.

The competition is a

compilation of national

club results where women’s

golfers play on their

home turf, and their score

is adjusted to account for

their playing handicap

before being compared to

other players, both in the

district and nationally.

Doell’s club played their

Coronation Medal round

in April and she shot 81,

which was adjusted to a

63 nett.

Now that all other

participating clubs have

played their round, Doell

was crowned the winner,

something she was elated

about.

“To be honest I’d forgotten

about it and when

I saw the email come

through I thought it was

an award the whole club

had won and it wasn’t until

I received another email

I read that it was for me,”

she said.

“It’s an amazing feeling,

like winning lotto.”

Doell, who plays off an

eight handicap when on

form, will be presented

with the medal later this

year at the end of the

season.

Doell, who lives in

Harewood has been playing

at the Waimairi Beach

club for more than 35

years after she moved to

Christchurch from Cheviot

to work in the city.

She said while she only

gets to play once a week,

she said it was a privilege

to play a good or bad

round.

“I don’t practice often,”

she said. “When I have

time to play that’s what I

love to do.

“When I shot that round

PEGASUS POST

of 81, I couldn’t wait to get

back out on the course and

play again,” she said.

“Even when it’s not going

well, I’m still grateful

for the chance to have

some exercise and walk in

the sun and I often think

of all the ladies I used to

play with who can’t play

golf any more and I think

I’m lucky.”

Doell said while there

were many closer golf

courses to her home, she

would always remain loyal

to Waimairi Beach.

“The club has been good

to me and even through

the earthquakes we still

have a very nice course out

there with great people,”

she said.

“It’s a very technical

course and one that

requires a lot of thought

and skill and that’s what

I like.”

the park and facilities

best meet community

needs in a safe and

open environment,” city

council community parks

manager Al Hardy said.

“We welcome the local

community’s feedback

and suggestions as

the reinvigoration of

New Brighton and the

surrounding areas steps

up.”

A new entrance further

along Marine Parade and

the installation of security

barriers to prevent nighttime

use are key elements

of the safety upgrade. New

post and cable fencing is

also proposed, along with

the replacement of several

trees that are in poor

condition.

Residents can also

attend a drop-in

information session at

New Brighton Library on

August 13 between 4pm

and 6pm.

The consultation period

closes on August 27, with

a staff report going to

the Coastal-Burwood

Community Board

for a final decision in

September or October.

The city council hopes

to start work at Thomson

Park by February next

year.

Your Local Views

Readers respond to last

week’s article on keeping

the annual city council Guy

Fawkes fireworks event in

New Brighton

Wilhelmina Flick – Please

keep it. We all enjoy it and would

hate to see it go. It’s great for the

businesses and is a wonderful

family event. My vote is for it to

stay.

Aaron Tily – I feel as if the

event should continue to be held

in New Brighton. If need be, get

those who go to the event on

buses. Solves some of the traffic

issues. If Wellington can have

fireworks on the waterfront we

should be allowed them on the

pier.

Sarah Spencer Smith – I

went last weekend and it was

packed out, even at 5pm on

Saturday. No space to change in

women’s changing room. Once

two schools open and clubs return

then there will be no room

for lane swimming. Need a 50m

pool desperately.

Aubrey Walker – Having

it at the end of the pier gives us

the best safety overall. When it

comes to the fireworks therefore

they give us a bigger show and

bigger shells. It’s amazing being

at the end of the pier, it should

never move and the date should

never change.

Jacob Savage – Hagley

Park, because if they continue

to do it at New Brighton beach

there will be so much rubbish on

the beach. It’s got worse over the

past years.

Maria Mann – Keep it

in Brighton. It’s brilliant, we

can watch it from our place in

South Brighton no need to

worry about a park or getting

home.

John Dunphy – When is

this city council going to force

the people remaining on the east

side of town out? Before or after

the lake goes in?

Graham Pownceby – How

about Summit Rd, so we can all

watch it from anywhere in the

city.

Taina Kahutia Tawhitopou

Connell – It stays where its

always been.

John Wooding – Hagley

Park is the obvious place.

We said:

Sport groups and recreational

users are jostling for

space at the new Taiora:

QE II Recreation and Sport

Centre:

You said:

Lynne Cook – I am writing

to say how disappointed we

are in the new QE II complex.

We have found the water temperature

cool to say the least. We

have gone back to Graham Condon

Recreation and Sports Centre

pool as its warmer. Talking to

people they are saying the same

– the pool staff are aware of this

but shrugging it off. I was told

it was cool for the swim squads.

We swim regularly and are even

more disappointed in the size

of the complex. The changing

rooms are very cramped,

two people sitting opposite each

other getting changed have

to be careful not to bang into

each other. The city council has

definitely made a big mistake

with the size of the complex. We

were absolutely horrified to be

turned away one Sunday due to

it being full. The 25m pool was

not full but the complex was. It’s

a real shame.

Gary Knight – Given the volume

of sporting groups that have

endured limited space facilities

prior to the opening of Taiora:

QE II Recreation and Sport Centre,

it would be surely reasonable

to allow them specific time slots

at this venue. A hydroslide, lap

pool, leisure pool, learn to swim,

hydrotherapy, spa sauna and

steam pool bears testimony to

the diverse range of facilities

for the benefit of all. In spite of

parochial viewpoints from some

recreational pool users, rationale

should prevail and concede the

need for specific times from

some sporting groups. Within

this context the sole use of the

25m pool for seven hours weekly

by water polo groups hardly

encroaches on the overall use of

this space for all public personnel.

Kim Button – It’s such a

shame that this iconic site was

not given more pool options. The

old QE II had a dive pool, a 50m

and a 25m lane pool for recreation

and sporting use (as well as

the lazy river and hydroslides).

Seems as though there has been

a genuine lack of vision and

understanding of the true needs

and demands for a decent aqua

recreation facility. And, as we

know, it’s going to be a very long

time before we see the metro

sports centre operating.

Gayle Elizabeth Lord

– Once again they didn’t listen

to those who live in the area,

many of whom used the old QE

II. The situation will only get

worse once we have two high

schools using the facilities.

Meredyth Anderson – I

think that most of the money

went on developing a pool that

could go up and down re: water

depth. I totally agree . . . it’s too

small for the demand and such a

shame.

Thor Major – There is just

not enough space for recreational

users who are not children

there at all. I went one evening

and found no adult swimming

space at all.

Amanda White – Closed

because either too full or “code

brown,” spa too shallow, changing

rooms too small. Dreading

when the schools open.

Tana Helsham – I feel like

they made a huge mistake with

its size. They had an opportunity

to create a world-class swimming

facility for professionals

as well as a large entertainment

pool for families. I did read there

are plans for another pool/park

on Brighton beach. So that could

relieve QE II pressure in like six

years maybe.

Tanya Hyde – Bad planning

on so many levels. Was so looking

forward to finally having a

pool in my area but it’s too busy.

Paula Hemingway – Another

council mistake by the

sound of it. It is never going to

get anything right.

Michelle Ben Haim – It was

obvious from the word go. It was

to small.

Heather Wilkins – At least

there is a pool to fight over on

that side of town. Just enjoy it.

The Coastal Burwood and

Board met with the Ministry

discuss concerns it had with

the proposed zone changes

for Avonside Girls’ and

Shirley Boys’ High Schools.

You said:

Vicki Ware – Prestons is closer

to Mairehau than QE II, it wasn’t

included in the zone. The school

runs its own zoning every three

years. I believe they could include

it at that stage, the zone is not

well thought out. South Brighton

is included which is further

away than the school original

zone and Prestons. The MoE has

failed everyone doing consulting

through a school holiday period

and wasn’t well publicised to the

area they were excluding unless

you had a child or were involved

in the school. We were given

options of Mairehau and Haeata

Community Campus. Prestons

has Mairehau High School, not far

at all. This was a closure by stealth,

and a new high school should be

built in Richmond, there are lots

of feeder schools here that will suffer

due to no definite high school

options.

Don Gould – Simply no

engagement from the MoE on

this issue with the community.

Where is the data from the MoE

that these calls are being made

on? What is the plan for schooling

for the southern area around

Richmond now? I really can’t

comment on this issue because I

just know nothing. The MoE has

put nothing in the public domain

that I’ve seen, so the only noise in

the room is simply from objectors

who seem very emotive at best.

Community treasure

Avebury House Community

Trust social enterprise

manager Michelle

Whitaker writes about the

history of the “Mona Vale

of the East”

THERE’S A good chance you

have never heard of Avebury

House.

Tucked away in a corner of

Richmond’s river red zone are

the well-tended gardens and

stately grandeur of a Victorian

manor.

Completed in 1885 for the

Flesher family, Avebury House

has weathered dilapidation,

youth hostel and earthquakes,

and is now beautifully restored

to 100 per cent quake standard.

A beautiful heritage building

steeped in local history Avebury

House is no museum – it is a

thriving community hub where

you can find yoga or art classes,

join the new men’s shed, hire

the commercial kitchen, have a

birthday party, or your workplace

meetings, and naturally

it is a stunning setting for that

picture-perfect wedding too.

You can view the history room

or just sit in the cosy community

library with a good book.

In contrast to the neatly kept

flower gardens in front, out

back beyond the paddling pool

and playground, dedicated local

volunteers have created the

Richmond Community Garden.

Raised garden beds, a native

edibles garden and a rain capture

system, it is definitely worth

a visit.

BEAUTIFUL:

Victorian home

Avebury House

is located in

Richmond.

The space was recently used

for a Matariki celebration that

included live music, stalls and a

traditional hāngi.

The restoration and ongoing

management of the house and

grounds has been funded by

council and Government agencies,

but the goal is to make it

into a bustling social enterprise,

a community space supporting

locals and have wonderful annual

events.

So all the very affordable hire

fees for your party, wedding or

meeting goes straight back into

community activity. So a beautiful

venue with the real feel-good

factor.

If you haven’t discovered this

architectural and community

treasure, hopefully, this has

piqued your curiosity – go and

admire one of Christchurch’s

true heritage buildings, one that

has its face to the community’s

future.

Production under way at SBHS


GETTING TO work with a

professional playwright for an

original production is a rare

occurrence for any aspiring

performer.

But not for Shirley Boys’ and

Avonside Girls’ High School

students, who will be performing

an original play by Shirley’s head

of drama Ken Hudson.

Mr Hudson, who has previously

written for The Court

Theatre, has developed a new

play inspired by English writer

Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two

Cities.

The original play Two Cities

Told Again has been described by

Mr Hudson as a “psychological

drama” where the main characters

are “heavily conflicted”

between doing what is right and

their passions.

“The main thing was I didn’t

set out to write a school production

because I never do that

I wanted to write a play I would

be happy with so it could be performed

by anybody anywhere,”

he said.

Mr Hudson said he thought the

scripts for Dickens’ A Tale of Two

Cities was a bit “Victorian” and

SCHOOLS

“melodramatic” which was why

he decided to rewrite the play.

About 50 students will take

part in the production.

It will be Mr Hudson’s sixth

production with Shirley Boys’

after he became a teacher at the

school nine years ago.

In his first production, only

12 students took part (some of

which needed a lot of persuasion).

Mr Hudson said it also didn’t

help with the first production being

at the time of the September

4, 2010, earthquake.

“They did not have much of

a history of drama, they did in

60s and 70s I think but it all sort

of faded out . . . it was a bit of a

rocky road getting it up and running,”

he said.

•Two Cities Told Again will

be performed at the Shirley

Boys’ High School main hall

at 7pm from today through

to August 10. Tickets cost

$10 and will be sold at the

door.

DRAMA: Shirley Boys’ High School and Avonside Girls’ High School will perform an original

production by their head of drama and playwright Ken Hudson.

Pre-schoolers learn sign language with deaf teacher

• Ashleigh Monk

DEAF WOMAN Jocelyn Thorpe

has never learned sign language.

So when the opportunity came

up for the Linwood pre-school

teacher to learn it with her pupils,

she jumped at the chance.

Ms Thorpe and the children

at Haven Early Learning Centre,

in Linwood have been learning

the basics of New Zealand Sign

Language with the help of van

Asch Deaf Education Centre tutor

Victoria Green.

She said the pre-school welcomed

her with open arms when

she took up her teaching position

at the centre.

“The children have just accepted

me as who I am, not

necessarily as a deaf person, but

just as Jocelyn.”

Ms Thorpe, who could hear

with the help of a cochlear implant,

said learning sign language

could help the children be more

accepting of hearing-impaired

people in their community.

“It has been wonderful, actually,

because they are just so

receptive to learning another way

of communication. And they

seem even more intrigued to find

out that it can help a person that

BILINGUAL: Haven Early

Learning Centre teacher

Zealand Sign Language with

the pre-schoolers.

has got a hearing impairment,”

she said.

“They know that if somebody

has a hearing impairment

. . . they need to use their sign

language.”

The youngsters had picked up

sign language really well, and

could all sign their name. “We

don’t have high expectations, we

let children learn at their own

pace. So some are quite happy

to use just a few signs, others are

happy to do a few more. We just

celebrate what they have learnt.”

Ms Thorpe said parents often

sat in on the sessions to join their

children in learning sign language,

which encouraged them to

use it outside of pre-school.

The idea to kick start sign language

lessons at the centre came

from teacher Clair McConchie.

Ms McConchie said it was important

for the children to learn

NZSL, not only to communicate

with hearing impaired people,

but also to use sign as a way of

expressing themselves.

“They know signs like ‘hungry’

and ‘thirsty’ . . . so they can communicate

every day sentences by

using their signs.” She had been

learning sign language herself

for the past three months, and

wanted to share what she had

learnt with the children.

“More people should learn (sign

language). I hope it catches on to

other pre-schools; it’s so important,

it just bridges that gap in the

deaf community.”

FREE breakfasts

The Aranui Community

The free breakfast

was dished up outside

the trust’s office on

Hampshire St.

Students and pupils at

the breakfast were from

Haeata Community Campus,

St James School and

Linwood North School.

Trust worker Sheree

not run the event without

the generosity of its

valued sponsors. Brekky

Said Ms Rangihuna:

“(The breakfast) is really

next community lunch

will be held on Thursday

from 11am at Cafe 53 on

Hampshire St, Aranui.

The Christchurch Centre was started due

to requests made to have a highly qualified

authentic Tibetan Buddhist teacher

residing in the city and carrying out weekly

teachings, meditation classes and retreats.

Fulfilling this request Geshe-la now teaches

every Tuesday night and Sunday morning.

• Geshe-la graduated from the largest

Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the

world, Sera Monastic University

in South India. His main teachers

included His Holiness the Dalai Lama,

the late Venerable Khensur Urgyen

Tseten, Venerable Khensur Kangurwa

Lobsang Thupten and Venerable

Khenpo Lobsang Palden.

• Geshe-la arrived in New Zealand in

2008 teaching originally in Dunedin

then through requests moved to

Christchurch 2011, ever since proving

to be lively and entertaining, fresh

and eloquent. Certainly he is very

experienced, having taught younger

monks in the monastery, in his home

region of Tibet and for 3 years in

the traditionally Tibetan-Buddhist

country of Mongolia. Having Geshela

to teach in Christchurch therefore,

is quite a wonderful opportunity for

people to make a deep connection

with age-old teachings.

• At the Centre Geshe-la’s classes focus

on understanding the mind, mind

training and meditation practices.

ADVERTORIAL

Phen Day Dhargyey Ling (Tibetan)

- ‘A Centre for the Source of Benefit and

Happiness’ is the meaning of the name given

by the esteemed lama Lhagon Rinpoche.

The Christchurch people have the wonderful opportunity to engage in Tibetan Buddhist

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

as, Venerable Geshe Nyima Dorje (Geshe-la).

Meditation & Mind Training;

• How to generate love, compassion,

generosity and patience. The purpose

is to create a peaceful mind. When

our mind is disturbed it lacks love,

compassion and patience. If we know

how to generate these qualities we

can create a more peaceful mind. We

have accustomed our minds more to

disturbances. We know that as we can

see how easy it is to become angry and

how much effort is needed to remain

patient. Familiarisation is the key.

Also if we apply our understanding

to our own situation; we need to

be loved and if we need this then it

is fair to say others also want to be

loved. If we generate this to others

then we gain the benefits, as we then

receive love and compassion. ‘Others’

mean all beings, if we have this

mental expansion there are enormous

benefits.

• As long as we have strong compassion

we have more patience, from this we

don’t get angry as quickly or as easily

then we have peace of mind.

• The Mind Training constitutes these

kinds of practices, learning and

practicing how to become acquainted

with these qualities of mind, so that

arises spontaneously, or at least are

generated more easily.

Full range of auto

services at familyrun

business

The long-running auto repair and

servicing business, New Brighton

Automotive, has been a family-run

operation for two years now with Michael

Cromwell at the helm, and parents Richard

and Karen backing him up.

Michael had gained extensive knowledge

and experience working in garages around

Christchurch, and he and Richard had

worked together previously in Oamaru, so

taking over the New Brighton business was

an ideal move for the family.

They have two qualified mechanics on

the team, with the workshop offering the

full range of automotive servicing and

mechanical repairs, including diagnostic

and electrical work and WOFs.

Wheel alignment and supply and fitting

new tyres are also included in the range

of services, while a free towing service is

available for customers if necessary.

As well as providing expert repairs

and servicing, Michael and his team can

offer helpful advice to customers, with

the positive comments on their

Facebook page seen Michael says

business has increased since they

took over. Customers come from

right around the New Brighton and

Parklands areas, and further afield,

with some people who moved to the

outskirts of Christchurch following

the earthquakes still coming back to have

their vehicles serviced at New Brighton

Automotive.

They also have contacts in the

Christchurch car sales industry he says,

with a number of the car sales yards

sending vehicles there for servicing.

New Brighton Automotive is located at

40 Hawke Street, New Brighton, behind

the Z Energy service station. Opening

hours are Tuesday to Friday, 8am to

5.30pm, Saturday 8am-12pm. Closed

Sunday and Monday.

To book in for any of their services,

phone 388 3630, or call in at the workshop.

They are always happy to help.

SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2019

Small co-ed classes at St Michael’s

Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their

classroom calm and productive

or a disharmony of noise and

movement? How much of their

teacher’s attention does your child

actually receive?

At St Michael’s, our small co-ed classes

and specialist teachers ensure your child is

an individual, well known by staff and fellow

pupils alike. For at the heart of St Michael’s

are the essential values of Christian faith

and good citizenship: respect, integrity,

faith, hope and love.

St Michael’s is a prep school so your

child is assured of a traditional foundation

in English and Mathematics. This

academic rigour then underpins our wider

curriculums in Science, History, Geography

and Spanish. IT literacy is taught, not

assumed, and computer use is measured.

We like teaching and talking to our pupils!

Cultural and sports’ programmes

develop your child’s foundation further,

as creativity and problem-solving come

in many forms. Specialist art and music

classes are enjoyed weekly; and most pupils

play at least one instrument, whether piano

or flute, bassoon or bongos. There are two

choirs, and drama lessons.

And our extended campus is spectacular:

today, the Art Gallery; tomorrow, the

Gardens; next week…

St Michael’s has been nurturing and

educating children for 167 years, and our

pupils come from city-wide, arriving via

the bus exchange only a block away or

with parents who work in the thriving city

centre.

You and your child are warmly welcome

to discover for yourselves our purposeful,

wholehearted and inclusive prep school.

Our Open Day is Wednesday 15 August or

contact our registrar, Bec Hitchcock, for

a personal tour: 03.379.9790; registrar@

Cathedral Grammar

The Cathedral Grammar School is an

independent school providing high-quality

education for pre-school, primary school

and intermediate aged girls and boys.

This is a place of ambition alongside

preparation where students learn from the

best right from the start. Every year level

benefits from the expertise of our highcalibre

specialist teachers across multiple

subjects. And small class sizes means a

lot of individual attention so every child’s

strengths are identified and built on and

support provided where and when needed.

Our school structure is unique and

designed to ensure students have the

opportunity to make the most of their

formative school years. We understand

learning happens in different ways at

different ages; our students work in both

co-educational and single-sex learning

environments at times when this best suits

their learning styles. In Pre-School and

the Junior School children learn in a coeducational

environment. Students in Years

4 to 8 attend either our Boys’ or Girls’ School.

Allowing students the best of both worlds,

single sex classes offer the opportunity to

target and deliver the curriculum in the

most effective and interesting style possible,

while social skills are developed by sharing

mixed-environment break times, specialist

classes and activities.

Creativity and culture play a

big role here with four choirs and

hundreds of individual music,

speech and drama lessons every

week. We’re also a proud sporting

school, providing students with

the facilities and encouragement

to try their hand at a range of

sports and recreation activities.

Ultimately, we are committed

to providing a balance of

tradition and rigour, while being

curious and adventurous every

day.

Let the learning

adventure begin

Come and experience what The Cathedral

Grammar School has to offer. To register

for the Open Day please contact Lydia

Hemingway on 03 3650384 or email

OPEN DAY

28 August, 9.30 am




Middle schooling

makes a difference

Having a curriculum and learning

environment designed specifically for

learners in the “middle years” (Years 7-10) is

essential to ensure high levels of motivation

and engagement in learning during this

crucial stage of schooling.

At Hillmorton High School having a

consistent approach without a transition

to a new school between Year 8 and 9 is

proving to be positive in terms of

accelerating student learning within

the Middle School.

We are currently working with

our architects designing a new

Middle School building with 22

“General Learning Areas”. These

areas are flexible and can operate as

single cell classrooms or be opened

up to allow more open learning

spaces – the best of both worlds.

This building will not disrupt

learning as it is being built on the

current tennis courts.

This environment fits well

with our broad Middle School

curriculum allowing learners to

explore and find both their strengths

and passions.

The advantage of combining

the skills of Year 7 and 8 specialist

teachers with the subject specialists

of a high school gives our Middle

School learners a huge advantage.

Additionally, our “Big Day Out”

events and end of year student

electives allow our young people to learn in

a range of environments often participating

in social action such as planting, working

with the elderly, along with exploring the

city, the Art Gallery and the university.

Our Middle School is ensuring real

educational success and positive future

prospects as students move into the Senior

School for Years 11-13.

Providing

our students

with learning

and personal

growth

opportunities

At St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School,

our mission is that we are “choosing

to be an innovative, catholic learning

community that inspires and empowers

learners to succeed.”

We are committed to inspiring and

empowering students for success,

through the implementation of innovative

instructional practices, leveraging digital

technology, ensuring equity of access for

all.

We offer a range of sporting and cultural,

innovative and creative opportunities.

Teaching and learning experiences are

personalised for our students and value

student voice.

Within our new flexible learning spaces

every child has the opportunity to learn

through authentic contexts, solving real

world problems.

Together we continue to innovate within

a Catholic learning environment where all

learners are inspired to learn, create and

share. We are creating learners who will

not only be successful but will become

people who will positively impact on their

world.

Selwyn House School -

small class sizes and talented

teaching staff

For primary school, every parent wants

to ensure their child is receiving the best

foundation for their academic future.

Selwyn House School has small class sizes

and a talented teaching staff set within a

nurturing environment and an extensive

range of opportunities.

Selwyn House offers the International

Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years

Programme (PYP) and is proud to be a

leading STEAM focused school. We not only

encourage our girls to work in advanced

STEAM fields, we want our girls to lead

them. Our STEAM Hub provides every

student from Year 1 to 8 access to stateof-the-art

equipment. In Mechatronics,

girls learn the foundations of mechanical

and electrical knowledge. Robotics is

introduced as an interdisciplinary, projectbased

learning activity drawing mostly

on mathematics, science and technology.

Learning is also enhanced by additional

opportunities including the 2018 Space

Camp trip where 18 girls will travel to the

United States to attend a week-long Space

Camp.

A supportive all-girl learning

environment encourages girls to take

risks without fear of failure. As the girls

progress they are confident in their

abilities, understanding that perseverance

helps them grow. A school-wide buddy

programme provides each girl with support

and mentoring.

Learning is personalised and each

teacher has the time to foster authentic

and meaningful relationships. Strong

relationships between the class teacher and

family ensure each girl’s learning journey

is nurtured by a partnership of support.

Teachers construct learning activities

to help each girl identify their personal

strengths.

Selwyn House believes these strengths

can be applied to academic tasks

and become more powerful with the

acquisition of skills and knowledge, aiding

intellectual development and academic

achievement. For this reason core learning

in reading, writing and mathematics is

a priority. Specialist teachers in Spanish,

Mechatronics, Art, Science, Physical

Education, Swimming, Performing Arts

and Music work with classroom teachers to

help identify the strengths of every girl.

The environment at Selwyn House

empowers each girl to embrace their future

and develop a love of learning. A Selwyn

House girl will learn to define herself,

accept responsibility, form opinions,

and have compassion for the world. This

combination of achievement, confidence,

and character makes a Selwyn House

education a powerful and transformative

experience.

For more information about Selwyn

House or to schedule a personal tour

Queenspark revel in

environment awards at

whole school assembly


A SMALL celebration was held in

recognition of Queenspark Primary

School keeping its patch of land litter-free

and tidy.

Two Keep Christchurch Beautiful

awards were presented to the school in

Parklands at an assembly on Tuesday.

The awards were

presented by Mayor

Lianne Dalziel. Keep

Christchurch Beautiful

chairwoman Alexandra

Davids, secretary Linda

Keall and Coastal -

Burwood Community

Board chairwoman

Kim Money were also

Chris Kime present.

The school and its

caretaker Chris Kime

were recognised for

going “above and

beyond” to make the

city a greener place

at the annual KCB

awards.

However, principal

Kim Money Ross Willocks was

unable to attend the awards ceremony so

he decided to have a special assembly to

present the awards to the whole school.

Mr Kime said it was a significant

achievement to have 25 years of friendship

with KCB, which was why the school

wanted to make a big

deal of the awards at its

assembly.

“Having Lianne with

us was such a privilege

and a honour and it is

not the sort of thing

she does everyday,

going out to schools,”

he said.

Pupils from Korea Ross Willocks

and China were also

welcomed at the assembly and were the

first children from overseas to be hosted

at the school since the February 22, 2011,

earthquake.

The certificates also acknowledge

Queenspark’s commitment towards the

maintenance and upkeep of Queenspark

Reserve.

In November, the school will receive

a 25-year service award for its long

association with Keep Christchurch

Beautiful.

Grape seeds

shown to have

remarkable

health benefits!

According to researchers grape seeds

may hold the potential to treat and prevent

many devastating disorders. The seeds

have been found to contain many powerful

antioxidant that have been shown to

support the natural healing process and

even slow the aging process.

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown

to reduce inflammation, pain, increase

cell energy, protect protein structures and

increase collagen production. The powerful

antioxidants can tone and strengthen

the blood vessels, improve blood flow,

making it valuable for circulatory disorders

of all kinds, including varicose veins,

haemorrhoids, hardening of the arteries

and impaired blood flow to the brain. It

is excellent for most skin conditions with

many noticing the skin becomes smoother.

GSE offers a natural alternative for many

people with hypertension. (High Blood

Pressure) Higher B/P puts more stress

on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis

(hardening of the arteries) and increased

risk of heart disease and strokes.

Recent studies on people with elevated

B/P found GSE to significantly lower B/P

but with no effect on people with normal

B/P. Animal studies have shown GSE to

improve heart function, reduce damage

caused by heart attacks and prevent arterial

plaque.

A growing number of studies show that

GSE has powerful anticancer properties,

can help balance blood sugar, improve

arthritis and protect brain cells. It may prove

vital in the treatment of brain disorders like

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Numerous studies on GSE show it can

help support our good health and prevent

many degenerative diseases. Further

1 in 2 people

deficient in B12

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.

Scientists at Rush University Medical

Center found those most deficient

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest

brain mass and the lowest scores on

tests measuring short-term memory,

concentration and brain performance.

Another study showed that older people

with higher levels of B12 in their blood

have bigger, healthier brains and score

higher on cognitive tests than those with

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark

study showed that B12 supplementation

slows the accelerated rate of brain

shrinkage and declining cognitive function.

B12 is essential for energy production, cell

health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,

nerve health and repair, and prevention

of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular

risk factor that is known to cause damage

and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard

researchers found

a 34% decrease

risk of vision

loss in a study

of participants

aged 40+ who

supplemented with

B12. Another study

linked a higher risk of hearing loss in

subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.

The reason so many people lack B12

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb

it declining with age as the digestive

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux

medication and other drugs further reduce

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and

thru bypassing the digestive tract have

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in

the body.

HOME & HEATING

Choosing the

right heat pump

for your home

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,

most homes include at least one heat pump,

if not a whole heating solution. They can

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more

convenient than a log burner as you just need

to press a button. But how do you decide what

is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is

key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every

situation varies and it is therefore important

to get professional advice from heat pump

experts.

The range varies from wall mounted high

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted

central heating systems allowing you to have a

very discreet way of heating your whole home

to a constant temperature throughout.

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that

is suitable for the size of the space you wish

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area

taken into consideration but also, insulation,

building orientation, windows and ceiling

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps

available with different heating outputs so it

is important to select the correct size for your

requirements that will handle the job but not

be unnecessarily overpowered.

Secondly, the location of your heat pump

is also extremely important. The cheapest

installation is a back to back where the outdoor

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor

unit however this is not necessarily always

the best option. It is vital that the indoor

unit is positioned in a place that will not be

PEGASUS POST

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly

in their outdoor entertaining area or right

outside their bedroom window.

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands

have come and gone over the years but there

are a number of manufacturers who provide

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems

and price, so it depends on your application as

to which will be most suitable. Major brands

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands

backed up by good technical after sales service.

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an

accredited installer. This will not only ensure

correct installation of your heat pump, but also

validate the manufacturers warranty.

Other things to consider when choosing a

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi

capabilities.

Heating is a major investment in your home

and it is vital to get the right advice.

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,

installation and servicing of all major brands

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as

to which system will suit your application

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no

HOME & HEATING

Get rid of

dampness

in your house

Now with the colder and wetter weather on

its way, home owners are focusing on ways

to make their homes comfortable, warm and

healthy for their families throughout winter.

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of

our older properties which suffer from poor, or

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,

many people have relocated to homes

that suffer from rising damp which can be

associated with health problems. Independent

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can

rise from the ground and enter a house every

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation

and musty smells. Moulds can produce

various allergic reactions and the

frail, elderly and very young are

especially vulnerable.

Canterbury Foam Concrete

Ltd is a locally owned and

operated firm. The team

understands the problems

caused by rising damp and are

there to help. They will come

to your damp home and pump

a lightweight, flowable foam

concrete under your timber

floored home. Specially adapted

for our New Zealand conditions and

applications it provides a layer of protection

against rising moisture. An unexpected

benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam

Concrete have noticed recently, is that many

owners of properties which had underfloor

foam concrete installed, reported that it also

provided protection against liquefaction after

the earthquakes.

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd

now for your free, no obligation quote and

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or

0508 362626 for more information.

“Living Fully in Dying

and Death?”

Dying and especially death have become

increasingly taboo subjects in our modern

western society. This course will involve reflective

consideration of the recent important literature

of how to live life to the full when facing the last

of life’s major stages of dying and death. This is

at a time when more people are living longer and

are becoming more removed from the reality of

what it means to be mortal. Attention will also

be drawn to recent research on palliative care and

how it informs people to face approaching death

not with trepidation but openness, clarity and

understanding. This is an information sharing,

reflective course and is not therapeutic in format.

It will be a six-week course of 2 hour sessions; held

on Thursday afternoons, 2 – 4 pm, commencing

on 23rd August. The course will be facilitated by

Rodney Routledge and others and be interactive

in format.

VENUE: Iona House, Aranui

THAT’S right folks! DND Showband returns

to the Hornby Club this Saturday with the

original line up.

“We’ve had a lot of fun putting this show

together, ”said Jo-Anne Davern, performer

and manager of the band. “It’s been a good

couple of years since this line up last

performed together and I’m amazed at how

simply we all slotted back in place. It’s like

we were never apart.”

Joining Jo on stage will be regular

members Ben Harvey (guitar, vocals); Grant

McPhie (bass, keys); and Mark Newburn

(drums, vocals), along with showband

chanteuses Michele Webb, Gina Gilbreath,

and Mel Lawson.

Christchurch based DnD Showband has

been delighting audiences across the

country with their multi-tribute theme

shows for an incredible ten years. In

rehearsal mode for Saturday’s show, the 7

piece troupe has been busy fine tuning show

content, sorting costumes and tightening up

moves.

“We’ve put together a great play list

guaranteed to get everyone up dancing.

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

followed by our Moulin Rouge theme set

that brims with disco dance anthems of the

70s/80s, and concluding with our tribute to

ABBA,” said Jo. “And for those who prefer to

listen and watch, our professional tech’s

Peter Standring and Peter ‘Pedro’ Buchan-Ng

will be out front running our audio and

light systems to ensure it sounds and looks

wonderful.”

Club, 17 Carmen Rd, ph 03 349 9026. Door
