Fight<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
CITY COUNCILLORS David<br />
East and Glenn Livingstone have<br />
pledged to fight against the annual<br />
New Brighton<br />
fireworks event<br />
being taken away<br />
from the pier.<br />
They have told<br />
the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
they will work<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 />
SLATER STREET UPDATE<br />
Richmond’s Slater St was reopened<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 />

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 />
encouraged to apply as soon as they can.<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 />

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 />

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 />

Facebook page seen Michael says<br />
business has increased since they<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 />

They also have contacts in the<br />
Christchurch car sales industry he says,<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 />

Grammar School has to offer. To register<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 />

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 />
Reserve.<br />
In November, the school will receive<br />
a 25-year service award for its long<br />
association with Keep Christchurch<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 />

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 />

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 />
Smarter that provides a full home assessment and Air Con Christchurch have been actively involved with<br />
this program and are issuing compliance certificates to landlords (if they comply of course)<br />

Call Air Con Christchurch who can assess your home or rental for insulation compliance as well as<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 />
