Riccarton<br />
bus lounge<br />
problems<br />
‘rear ugly<br />
head’<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
TROUBLE HAS returned to the<br />
Riccarton Rd bus lounges again.<br />
Riccarton Community Constable<br />
Aaron Thorn said anti-social issues<br />
the lounges faced when it opened in<br />
December 2015 is “rearing its ugly<br />
head again.”<br />
He said the main issue is loitering<br />
with the youth aged in their teens<br />
being “disrespectful and smart” and<br />
not moving on from the bus lounges<br />
when asked.<br />
But Constable Thorn said the issues<br />
don’t appear to be the same as<br />
what they used to be.<br />
The bus lounges on Riccarton Rd<br />
have frequently attracted anti-social<br />
behaviour since opening, including<br />
assaults.<br />
“It is minor in the grand scheme<br />
of things, they are just loitering and<br />
hang around and the guards get a bit<br />
frustrated,” Constable Thorn said.<br />
Police met with the security officers<br />
over the issue last week.<br />
The problem started again just<br />
before Christmas involving youths<br />
aged between 14 and 17.<br />

THAT’S ONE amazing story on page 4<br />
today.<br />
Jake Bailey, the young bloke who gained<br />
international attention in 2015 with his<br />
gripping speech about his shock cancer diagnosis,<br />
is competing in the Coast to Coast. He had been given<br />
two weeks to live.<br />
Jake’s now 21 and resides on the Gold Coast and is living life<br />
to the fullest.<br />
He will take part in the team event. Jake will do the cycle leg<br />
of 160km while his two mates will run and kayak.<br />
That cycle leg could be savage if there is an easterly wind<br />
blowing. It will be like biking into a brick wall.<br />
Not bad for someone who was never into sport. It is amazing<br />
what determination can do.<br />

Plan to soften road works blow<br />
In Brief<br />
BOARD FUNDING<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community<br />
Board’s funding pool is now<br />
open. Applications can be<br />
made for funding from the<br />
youth development fund,<br />
discretionary response fund<br />
and off the ground fund. For<br />
more information on the<br />
criteria of each or to make an<br />
application online go to www.<br />
ccc.govt.nz or phone 941 8999<br />
CLEAR SIGNAGE and<br />
revamped car parking will be<br />
installed to soften the blow for<br />
Riccarton businesses facing<br />
major roadworks outside their<br />
stores this year.<br />
City council staff have been<br />
working with Riccarton Rd<br />
businesses to come up with solutions<br />
to lessen the impact of the<br />
upcoming roadworks starting<br />
between Harakeke and Matipo<br />
Sts.<br />
The work, set to begin next<br />
month, is not expected to be<br />
completed until December 2020.<br />
It comes after businesses raised<br />
concerns over how they would<br />
be affected, leading to a meeting<br />
with city council staff and the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board before<br />
Christmas.<br />
Faster construction methods,<br />
additional signage to indicate<br />
businesses are open and where<br />
available car parking is located<br />
will actioned.<br />
The city council will also<br />
revamp its spaces in the shared<br />
car park on the northern side of<br />
Riccarton Rd between Rimu St<br />
and Straven Rd to provide twohour<br />
parking for shoppers.<br />
However, Inspirations manager<br />
Robyn Speed, said parking will<br />
“certainly be an issue.”<br />
“I am hoping the footpaths<br />
will be open so customer traffic<br />
shouldn’t be a problem,” she said.<br />
Ms Speed said her only concern<br />
is how the roadworks will<br />
affect car parking on a Saturday<br />
morning when the Christchurch<br />
Farmers’ Market is being held.<br />
But she said it is one of those<br />
things that has to be done and it<br />
will take as long as it takes.<br />
Bargain Chemist manager<br />
Michael Sohn said the city council<br />
needs to ensure one lane<br />
is left open for traffic and it is<br />
publicised the businesses are still<br />
open.<br />
The city council is also<br />
developing a parking map for<br />
customers it will circulate and<br />
businesses will be able to give to<br />
its customers.<br />
Zac Plumb, a restaurant worker<br />
based on Riccarton Rd, said people<br />
are concerned the last of the<br />
untimed parking in Riccarton<br />
will be gone because the parks<br />
between Rimu and Straven Rd<br />
will become timed.<br />
“I think they probably need to<br />
come up with something similar<br />
to Wilson Parking. I know people<br />
complain about all the parking<br />
in there is paid, but at least you<br />
can park there without hassle,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Plumb said the main thing<br />
the city council needs to make<br />
sure of, is the foot traffic is not<br />
affected.<br />
The roadworks will involve up-<br />
DISRUPTION:<br />
Businesses<br />
are<br />
concerned<br />
about how<br />
they will be<br />
impacted<br />

next month.<br />
grading damaged underground<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported last<br />
month, residents were against<br />
a tree-planted median strip<br />
which would be added between<br />
Clarence and Matipo Sts, which<br />
was part of the work.<br />

the area will begin next week.<br />

Jake Bailey takes on a new challenge<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AS A CHILD Jake Bailey was not<br />
the sporting type.<br />
But at 21-years-old, he is taking<br />
on the Coast to Coast next<br />
month.<br />
The cancer survivor made<br />
international headlines in 2015<br />
with his gripping speech about<br />
his shock diagnosis as head boy<br />
of Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School.<br />
Mr Bailey was told he had two<br />
weeks to live after finding out<br />
he had Burkitt’s Non-Hodgkins<br />
Lymphoma, the fastest growing<br />
cancer known to man.<br />
During the Coast to Coast he<br />
will tackle the 160km cycle part<br />
of the event over two days, in a<br />
team with two old school friends,<br />
who will take on the kayak and<br />
run legs.<br />
Since beating his cancer and<br />
announcing he was in remission<br />
in <strong>January</strong> 2016, Mr Bailey has<br />
been working full-time as a<br />
public speaker. He has shared<br />
his story and what it taught him<br />
across almost 50 cities around<br />
the world.<br />
Now living on the Gold Coast,<br />
Mr Bailey is also the author<br />
What Cancer Taught Me and<br />
features in the documentary The<br />
Common Touch, which is about<br />
his cancer journey.<br />
He will return to Christchurch<br />
INSPIRATIONAL: Jake Bailey will be competing in the Coast to Coast after beating cancer.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
next month to compete in<br />
the event he calls “iconic” to<br />
Canterbury.<br />
As a young boy, Mr Bailey<br />
would go with his father to watch<br />
the end of the Coast to Coast.<br />
But he said he “never dreamed<br />
of taking part.”<br />
Mr Bailey’s close call with<br />
death has serve as his motivation<br />
for getting into endurance sport.<br />
“In both a practical sense,<br />
because it minimises my risk of<br />
relapse and makes sure my body<br />
is fit and in an emotional, mental<br />
and personal sense.”<br />
He said he’s developed an<br />
“obsession” in learning what his<br />
body is capable of.<br />
“Going through cancer<br />
treatment and seeing what my<br />
body could withstand, I have<br />
grown a fascination with what<br />
the body can do and putting<br />
mind over matter and having<br />
mental strength. That’s why<br />
endurance sport appeals to me,<br />
it’s a battle between your head<br />
and your body to push yourself.”<br />
Over the last four months,<br />
Mr Bailey has completed<br />
triathlon events, something<br />
which came as a shock to him<br />
as he could not swim more than<br />
25m a year ago.<br />
“I did fairly poorly,” he said.<br />
“But I really enjoyed them.”<br />

Bid to extend Halswell pool hours<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ABOUT 500 signatures have<br />
been collected and will be<br />
presented to the city council<br />
in support of extending the<br />
Halswell community pool’s<br />
opening hours.<br />
City councillor Anne<br />
Galloway is set to present the<br />
signatures to city<br />
council staff this<br />
week.<br />
The Te Hapua<br />
Halswell Summer<br />
Pool’s current<br />
hours are<br />
Anne<br />
Galloway<br />
Debbie<br />
Mora<br />
11.30am-7pm. It<br />
opened for the<br />
summer season on<br />
November 17 and<br />
will close again on<br />
March 31.<br />
“There is really a<br />
strong demand for<br />
it . . . I think it is a<br />
shame to have this<br />
fantastic resource<br />
out there and that<br />
the facility isn’t<br />
being used to its<br />
full potential,” Cr Galloway said.<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board member<br />
Debbie Mora has also lodged<br />
a request with the city council<br />
to maximise the pool’s limited<br />
opening hours over the summer.<br />
Ms Mora said she would like<br />
to see the pool open “anywhere<br />
from 7am” over summer.<br />
“Some people are frustrated<br />
with the opening times . . .<br />
anything earlier than 11.30am<br />
is going to be appreciated,” she<br />
said.<br />
If Ms Mora’s request is<br />
approved by city council<br />
chief executive Karleen<br />
Edwards, it will be sent back<br />
to the community board to be<br />
discussed at its meeting next<br />
Tuesday.<br />
But city council head of<br />
recreation sports and events<br />
Nigel Cox said the pool needs to<br />
be open when there is enough<br />
demand from people wanting to<br />
swim. Figures from last summer<br />
showed patronage was low when<br />
the pool was open during the<br />
early morning hours.<br />
Last year, due to the Pioneer<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre<br />
being closed for maintenance,<br />
the Te Hapua pool was open<br />
from 6am-8pm weekdays and<br />
7am-8pm on the weekend.<br />
Mr Cox said the average<br />
number of people using the<br />
pool before 10am last year was<br />
between 1.2-2.6. The largest<br />
count before 10am for the whole<br />
summer was 13 people.<br />
In the 2016/17 financial year,<br />
the pool recorded a deficit of<br />
$191,000. However, Cr Galloway<br />
said Halswell residents pay a lot<br />
TIME TO<br />
SWIM:<br />
A call to<br />
extend the<br />
Te Hapua<br />
Halswell<br />
Summer<br />
Pool’s<br />
opening<br />
hours has<br />
gathered<br />
support.<br />
of rates and the facility should be<br />
available for them to use when<br />
they want to use it. She also said<br />
many residents didn’t know the<br />
pool was open earlier last season.<br />
Halswell Residents’<br />
Association secretary David<br />
Hawke said due to the growing<br />
population in Halswell and<br />
Wigram, the pool may need to<br />
be upgraded. The association<br />
will discuss the idea of a heated<br />
and covered pool at its meeting<br />
on Monday.<br />

return<br />

•From page 1<br />
Constable Thorn said police<br />
can’t be at the bus lounges all day.<br />
“Obviously, when we are there<br />
they behave themselves or scatter<br />
themselves. We are just going to<br />
have to advise them to call the<br />
police if any of that stuff is going<br />
on,” he said.<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board member<br />
Catherine Chu was “surprised”<br />
the issues had returned.<br />
The board previously had a<br />
working group in place and it<br />
had sent youth workers into the<br />
lounges to ease the trouble last<br />
year.<br />
Ms Chu said if anti-social<br />
behaviour is going to be a<br />
problem the group may need to be<br />
re-established to explore limited<br />
wi-fi and police presence in the<br />
area.<br />
She was keen on beautifying<br />
unused land on Division St such<br />
as installing a basketball court<br />
and grass areas to give the youth<br />
something to do.<br />

What it takes to remove the chlorine<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
With the<br />
clock ticking<br />
on the city<br />
council’s<br />
self-imposed<br />
deadline<br />
to end<br />
temporary<br />
chlorination of the<br />
water supply within<br />
12 months, water<br />
supply improvement<br />
programme manager<br />
Helen Beaumont gives<br />
an update on how the<br />
work is tracking<br />
IT HAS been a year since the city<br />
council voted to temporarily add<br />
chlorine to the drinking water<br />
supply in response to advice from<br />
the Canterbury Medical Officer<br />
of Health.<br />
Over the past few months we<br />
have made significant progress<br />
on upgrading the wells that<br />
supply our water so that we<br />
can get back to having an<br />
unchlorinated water supply.<br />
To date we have upgraded<br />
25 per cent of our wells – by<br />
volume of water produced – to<br />
bring them up to a standard<br />
that exceeds the present<br />
requirements.<br />
We’ve set the bar higher than<br />
required because we anticipate<br />
that more stringent standards<br />
will be introduced by the<br />
Government shortly.<br />
Upgrading each well takes<br />
between two and six weeks and<br />
we can only work on a limited<br />
number of wells at any one time<br />
because we still to need supply<br />
water to homes and businesses.<br />
We have been running a water<br />
conservation campaign asking<br />
people to use less water so we can<br />
continue work on the wells and<br />
we really appreciate the efforts<br />
people have been making.<br />
Our data shows average water<br />
use to date is well below the<br />
summer averages for the past two<br />
years. If that keeps up we should<br />
be able to continue with the well<br />
remediation work as planned.<br />
By May we expect to have<br />
completed interim upgrades on<br />
19 below-ground wells and raised<br />
another 41 wells above ground,<br />
bringing the total number of<br />
secure wells to 98.<br />
Those wells collectively provide<br />
more than 60 per cent of the<br />
city’s water supply.<br />
If we upgrade those wells<br />
as planned, we should<br />
have a sufficient volume of<br />
unchlorinated water to supply<br />
the city over the winter months<br />
when we use about 50 per cent<br />
less water than we do in the<br />
summer.<br />
However, even after doing this<br />
work, providing chlorine-free<br />
water to everyone in every part of<br />
the city remains a challenge.<br />
The water supply is delivered<br />
through nine discrete zones.<br />
The central zone is our biggest<br />
water zone and supplies water to<br />
42 per cent of the population. It<br />
is the oldest part of the city and<br />
where we have the most wells<br />
that need to be raised above<br />
ground.<br />
There is high demand for water<br />
relative to the available capacity<br />
in this zone and, therefore, very<br />
little excess capacity. This makes<br />
it difficult to do the necessary<br />
upgrades.<br />
To address the challenge in<br />
the central zone, in addition<br />
to the interim upgrades on<br />
below-ground wells, we are also<br />
working to install ultra violet<br />
treatment at the main pump<br />
station.<br />
The main pump station is the<br />
biggest supplier of water to the<br />
central zone, and we are working<br />
with the contractor on ways that<br />
the installation can be sped up<br />
so water can be treated with UV<br />
instead of chlorine at this site.<br />
We are also looking at whether<br />
we can transfer water across zone<br />
boundaries.<br />
There are technical challenges<br />
because of the different pressure<br />
levels in some of the zones.<br />
However, it may be possible<br />
for us to use some of the pump<br />
stations on the boundaries of the<br />
central zone to push untreated<br />
water into that area.<br />
In addition, we are<br />
investigating whether we can<br />
make use of two private wells on<br />
the Metro Sports Facility site.<br />
They tap into deep aquifers<br />
and were originally drilled for a<br />
ground-source heat pump that is<br />
no longer required.<br />
They may be suitable to supply<br />
potable water to homes and<br />
businesses in the central zone.<br />
We are confident that seven of<br />
the nine city supply zones will be<br />
chlorine free by May this year.<br />
It is likely that we will have<br />
sufficient water from secure wells<br />
in the Ferrymead zone, and we<br />
are doing further modelling of<br />
water supply options and looking<br />
at opportunities to fast track<br />
works in the central zone.<br />
In the meantime, we are also<br />
looking at how we can reduce the<br />
amount of chlorine in the water.<br />
At the pump stations where<br />
the chlorine has two minutes to<br />
react with the water and disinfect<br />
it before it reaches the first<br />
consumer we have been able to<br />
halve the dose of chlorine.<br />
We are now looking at whether<br />
we can re-route the water at some<br />
of the other pump stations so we<br />
can give the chlorine a longer<br />
time to do its job before it reaches<br />
the first consumer.<br />
For example, if we can send the<br />
water around the block before<br />
it reaches people’s homes, there<br />
may be other pump stations<br />
where we can also reduce the<br />
dose.<br />
Each pump station has<br />
between one and six wells<br />
supplying it. Where some wells<br />
are remediated and some are not,<br />
we have to chlorinate all of the<br />
water unless we can isolate<br />
the wells that haven’t been<br />
remediated.<br />
We can only do that when the<br />
demand for water is low.<br />
When there are periods of<br />
low demand we aim to only use<br />
pump stations without chlorine.<br />
It is only when absolutely<br />
necessary, as water demand<br />
rises, that we bring the<br />
chlorinated pump stations into<br />
service.<br />
We all want the chlorine out<br />
of our water and we are working<br />
hard to ensure we can have an<br />
unchlorinated water supply as<br />
soon as possible.<br />
PRECIOUS: Limit the time you<br />
operate your garden hose.<br />

Greater Hornby Residents’<br />
Association member Mark<br />
Peters slamming the lack<br />
of maintenance next to<br />
the train tracks adjacent to<br />
Carmen Rd<br />
Anna Epiha – Cool story,<br />
do you want to pay the same<br />
amount of rates as they pay in<br />
Fendalton too?<br />
Ak Hawker – As an exresident<br />
of “Fen dal ton darling”<br />
it’s much the same as anywhere<br />
else, you get the break-ins, you<br />
get the stolen cars, you get the<br />
broken bus stop advertising signs<br />
and you get the unmowed grass<br />
berms everywhere. And hey<br />
there are pot holes in the roads<br />
too. But it’s the residents here<br />
that hold the high standard, not<br />
the city council.<br />
Hamish Middleton – I<br />
see the old Sockburn School<br />
grounds are quickly becoming<br />
a fire hazard. Must have been<br />
too difficult for the Government<br />
to arrange the groundkeeper to<br />
continue mowing. Here’s an idea,<br />
get the city council to go mow<br />
it and they’ll realise it’s where<br />
the new pool complex should be<br />
built.<br />

shops, regular maintenance and<br />
council investment.<br />
Michael Vivian – If Stanmore<br />
Rd was in Fendalton it<br />
wouldn’t have any homeless<br />
people hanging round.<br />
Jonathan Scott – Fire risk<br />
waiting to happen.<br />
Elinor Graeme<br />
Washington: I would say the<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
is not interested in the plantings<br />
in the roads after they have put<br />
them in. Weeds are now the<br />
most obvious plant.<br />
Dawn Hanara – Fendalton<br />
has a bike lane along the tracks,<br />
not grass.<br />
Stella Wyn – I always<br />
thought they were there for a<br />
purpose like those dry grass/<br />
plants in the centre divider.<br />
Sam Smith – So much victim<br />
mentality going on, it’s a bit of<br />
grass, if it offends you so much<br />
mow it yourself.<br />
Yvonne Brown – Would<br />
never get that long in Fendalton,<br />
can’t any residents get together<br />
and put it right, “get rid of the<br />
fire hazard.”<br />
Kaye Le Fleur – Gerry<br />
Brownlee lives there, of course, it<br />
gets more attention.<br />
Heather Wilkins – It’s<br />
almost like they don’t care.<br />
Come on, doesn’t take long to<br />
clean up.<br />
Jeremy Maxwell – Welcome<br />
to New Brighton’s problems.<br />
Craig Watson – Time for a<br />
working bee Horntabrians.<br />
Yvonne Brown – Too many<br />
folk bury their heads and think,<br />
not my problem. That’s what<br />
makes our rates continually<br />
rise. Both the stormwater drains<br />
outside my gate and across the<br />
roadside have been cleared by me<br />
when needed and grass berms<br />
attended too because the “renters<br />
don’t bother, no hardship for<br />
those that have the time.”<br />
Mike Harry – Big difference,<br />
Carmen Rd is a State Highway<br />
owned by NZTA, no reflection<br />
on Fendalton whatsoever. Some<br />
people should think before they<br />
speak.<br />
Geoff Taylor – You should<br />
see New Brighton’s riverbanks.<br />
Andrew Johnson – Not<br />
wrong. You only have to look at<br />
which side of the city’s roads was<br />
repaired first after the quakes.<br />
Lynn Mortlock – Put a<br />
cycleway in there.<br />

Ardern asked to open<br />
Knights Stream School<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
PRIME MINISTER Jacinda<br />
Ardern could be a surprise guest<br />
at the opening of Halswell’s<br />
newest school.<br />
She has been invited to attend<br />
the official opening of the $11<br />
million Knights Stream School<br />
in March.<br />
“We would love a little<br />
baby Neve to come. We<br />
are hoping they would<br />
both come. We are a<br />
family school so it would<br />
be cool to have some other<br />
children here as well,”<br />
principal Mike Molloy<br />
said.<br />
The school, along<br />
with Wigram Primary<br />
School and Ararira<br />
Springs Primary, have<br />
written to Ms Ardern’s<br />
office to see if she can<br />
attend three openings on<br />
March <strong>22</strong>.<br />
“We thought that<br />
might be a more lucrative<br />
attraction for a person to come<br />
down and get three lots of things<br />
done,” Mr Molloy said.<br />
But he said the schools would<br />
not know if Ms Ardern could<br />
attend until closer to the time.<br />
Wigram Primary School is<br />
shifting to its new school site at<br />
Jacinda<br />
Ardern<br />
Mike Molloy<br />
5 The Runway in Wigram Skies<br />
from its Sockburn School site. It<br />
will be open from February 4 for<br />
the new school term.<br />
The first stage of Ararira<br />
Springs Primary on Southfield<br />
Drive in Lincoln has also been<br />
completed and will open at the<br />
start of the term.<br />
About 110 pupils will<br />
also start at Knights<br />
Stream School on<br />
February 5. Last week the<br />
school had a site blessing,<br />
which was attended by<br />
Ministry of Education<br />
Canterbury education<br />
director Coralanne Child,<br />
city councillor Anne<br />
Galloway and Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board<br />
member Ross McFarlane.<br />
A karakia was also<br />
performed by Justin<br />
Tipa from Te Taumutu<br />
Rūnanga.<br />
Mr Molloy said the<br />
final landscaping and signage for<br />
the school is being completed.<br />
A cycle track, designed by<br />
Christchurch Adventure Park<br />
operations manager John Paul<br />
Jones, is also being built to give<br />
the pupils somewhere to “let off<br />
a bit of steam.”<br />
•From page 1<br />
Norton credits her youngest<br />
daughter for starting her career<br />
in netball. Fifteen years ago,<br />
her then six-year-old daughter<br />
decided she wanted to play<br />
netball.<br />
But because the primary<br />
school she attended had no<br />
coach, Norton had no choice but<br />
to “step up.” While she had to<br />
“very quickly” teach herself how<br />
to teach others to play the game,<br />
she soon found she had a flair for<br />
coaching.<br />
The Hornby Netball Club<br />
coach and Christchurch Netball<br />
Centre junior co-ordinator said<br />
she “couldn’t believe it” when<br />
she won the award.<br />
“I do a lot of coaching and<br />
I work really hard. I do that<br />
because I want to do my best for<br />
the girls that I coach. But never<br />
at any point did I even think<br />
about things like (the award). It<br />
is incredible,” she said.<br />
The award capped off a<br />
big year for Norton who was<br />
presented the Founders Trophy<br />
by Hornby Netball Club founder<br />
Lynlea Willan at the September<br />
senior prize-giving. She was<br />
then awarded coach of the year<br />
by the Christchurch Netball<br />
Centre.<br />
Willan.<br />
Norton said she is happiest as<br />
a coach when she sees a player<br />
who has struggled in the sport<br />
make an improvement by the<br />
end of the netball season.<br />
“If you can get good results<br />
that is fantastic, but there are<br />
always going to be times when<br />
your results aren’t so good,” she<br />
said. Norton said a key thing<br />
is being able to get people on<br />
the team involved in their own<br />
learning.<br />
“Most people want to be better<br />
at what they are doing and the<br />
only way of doing that is if they<br />

are actually doing it,” she said.<br />
Norton describes Hornby as<br />
a “community that thrives on<br />
sport.”<br />
In her career, Norton has<br />
coached more than 20 teams,<br />
including Hornby Senior A,<br />
Middleton Grange A and the<br />
under-14 Christchurch Netball<br />
Centre representative teams.<br />
“I think for anyone who takes<br />
coaching seriously, being able to<br />
do it professionally is always the<br />
goal . . . if I can take it further<br />
great, and if I can’t, I will just<br />
keep on going.”<br />

what the<br />
organisation<br />
has achieved over the<br />
past year<br />
THE HORNBY patrol has<br />
been involved with several<br />
new projects over the last<br />
year as we support the police<br />
prevention first model.<br />
The patrol is the ‘eyes and<br />
ears’ for the police and the<br />
community.<br />
We continue with our core<br />
business of reporting graffiti,<br />
dumped rubbish, abandoned<br />
supermarket trolleys, power<br />
lights that are not working,<br />
burst water mains and spend<br />
time looking after schools and<br />
mall car parks.<br />
Our patrols are planned<br />
around community<br />
information and hot points<br />
identified by police.<br />
New projects have included<br />
car park patrols at Hagley<br />
Park and the surrounding<br />
area during the busy summer<br />
months; a weekly presence<br />
for nurses at the change<br />
of the afternoon shift;<br />
providing volunteers at the<br />
annual Kickstart trackside<br />
motorcycle riders event and<br />
the Justice and Emergency<br />
Services Precinct opening; and<br />
supporting a combined patrol<br />

The patrol has supported<br />
them by organising activities<br />
outside of patrolling, such<br />
as a visit to the police<br />
communications centre.<br />
And, for the first time, they<br />
also supported police at two<br />
concerts in Hagley Park<br />
recently.<br />
The police applicants have<br />
greatly reduced the average<br />

HEARING HELP IN HORNBY<br />
How is your hearing?<br />
In New Zealand, one in six people have some degree of hearing difficulty.<br />
Over the age of 60, more than half the population are living with a<br />
significant hearing reduction. This invisible condition can be incredibly<br />
frustrating, as conversation on a one to one basis can be no problem, but<br />
social situations become very uncomfortable indeed. Background noise<br />
can make conversation almost impossible to follow causing some<br />
sufferers to nod and smile and pretend to hear, remove themselves from<br />
the conversation, or even avoid going to the social function completely.<br />
Other early signs of hearing difficulty are a creeping up of the volume<br />
control on the TV, frequently asking family and friends to repeat<br />
themselves, or accusing people of mumbling when they speak. With<br />
hearing loss recently being linked to the early onset of Dementia in studies<br />
throughout the world, these early signs are not to be ignored!<br />
Hear Again have extensive experience of helping people overcome their<br />
hearing difficulties. From a simple check to see if your ears are blocked<br />
with wax, to the provision and fine tuning of the very latest hearing devices<br />
from the worlds leading hearing aid manufacturers, the friendly team are<br />
here to help, even if you need to be seen on a weekend.<br />
Neil Hardisty, NZAS Audiometrist, has been expertly overcoming hearing<br />
difficulties for residents of Christchurch since 2009. Neil is frequently<br />
praised for his limitless patience, wonderful caring nature and ability to<br />
solve problems which other clinicians have deemed impossible. Neil is<br />
never satisfied until you are! His expertise, coupled with Customer<br />
Service Advisors Christine and Louise with their welcoming, friendly<br />
nature, and the very latest technology make for a winning combination.<br />
Hear Again offer FREE no obligation initial hearing assessments. If you,<br />
or any of your loved ones have noticed any difficulties with your hearing,<br />
this can be quickly and painlessly checked for you at The Hub, 418 Main<br />
South Road, Hornby. If you already have hearing aids from any<br />
manufacturer, we will give them a FREE clean and check to ensure they<br />
are in tip top condition. Call 03 974 1658 to book your free check.<br />
We look forward to delighting you with our service and help you, or your<br />
loved ones make the most of your hearing and to rejoin the conversation.<br />

Young footballers<br />
take on Japan’s best<br />
ON TOUR: Seamus Gallagher and Nicholas Murphy leaving<br />
Christchurch in their new Phoenix gear.<br />
CHRISTCHURCH United<br />
youngsters Seamus Gallagher and<br />
Nicholas Murphy have been on<br />
tour in Japan with the Wellington<br />
Phoenix Soccer School.<br />
The two Christchurch United<br />
under-12 players were invited<br />
by the Phoenix management<br />
to strengthen the squad for a<br />
demanding two-week, 10-match<br />
tour against some of Japan’s<br />
leading clubs.<br />
Christchurch United Academy<br />
director Colin Williamson said<br />
the tour was a unique occasion<br />
for Seamus, who attends St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College,<br />
and Nicholas, who will start at St<br />
Bede’s College this year, to test<br />
their skills at a higher level.<br />
“Seamus and Nicholas are two<br />
players with great potential and it<br />
will be interesting to see how they<br />
will do playing alongside other<br />
strong players against top youth<br />
teams,” said Williamson.<br />
Japanese football has created<br />
a global reputation for youth<br />
player development and its junior<br />
and senior teams have been<br />
impressive at FIFA tournaments<br />
across all age-groups.<br />
The Phoenix side arrived on<br />
<strong>January</strong> 10 and the next day<br />
received a stark warning of what<br />
to expect when they were well<br />
beaten 7-1 in their first match<br />
TEAMMATES: Nicholas Murphy (top row, third from right) and<br />
Seamus Gallagher (eighth from right) after their match against<br />
the Yokohama Marinos.<br />
against JEF United, one of Japan’s<br />
leading first division clubs.<br />
The Phoenix lads and their<br />
new Christchurch teammates<br />
bounced back well, beating an<br />
Ichihara BONZ school team, and<br />
then improved even further in a<br />
4-1 win over the local Ichihara<br />
under-12 selection, with Seamus<br />
setting up the third goal.<br />
They then moved to the Tokyo<br />
suburb of Kanagawa where they<br />
played Yokohama Marinos, the<br />
wealthiest club in Japan with<br />
a famous academy that has<br />
produced some of the country’s<br />
biggest names.<br />
The young New Zealanders<br />
showed how much they had<br />
progressed since their heavy first<br />
game defeat by competing well<br />
with their Japanese peers.<br />
It was an even contest at 1-1<br />
at the break, but they allowed<br />
Yokohama to pull away in the<br />
final stages of the 70min game for<br />
an admirable 2-4 defeat.<br />
Phoenix Soccer School director<br />
Jo Dawkins said the boys were in<br />
tears after the match.<br />
“Not because they lost, but<br />
because they knew they deserved<br />
something out of it.”<br />
She said it was one of the closest<br />
results achieved by a junior New<br />
Zealand team.<br />
Things did not get easier as the<br />
young Kiwis faced other J-League<br />
clubs Kawasaki Frontale and<br />
Kashima Reysol.<br />
The players also got a full<br />
cultural immersion while in<br />
Japan, staying three nights<br />
with the families of their<br />
Japanese opponents in the city<br />
of Kashiwa.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<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 />

New research on Gingko<br />
Biloba excites researchers!<br />
For decades scientists believed brain<br />
damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />
was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />
not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />
new research has shown that neurons<br />
can grow back with the right conditions<br />
and that a special extract of Gingko<br />
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />
been clinically found to assist in this.<br />
The implications for stroke recovery are<br />
obvious, but researchers also know many<br />
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />
that over a period of time slowly<br />
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />
is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />
supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />
cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />
mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />
alertness, motor function and to help<br />
with many conditions including tinnitus<br />
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />
micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />
flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />
the red blood cells more pliable and<br />
capillary walls more flexible.<br />
TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />
studied and researched herbal products in<br />
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />
extract manufactured via a patented<br />
multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />
tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />

continuing education<br />
FREE Arts & Design<br />
course, with NCEA built in<br />
For those looking for a role that combines<br />
artistic and digital talents, then this<br />
outstanding, FREE, entry level course<br />
delivered by local Training Provider Trainme,<br />
is perfect for those wishing to pursue, graphic<br />
design, photography or digital media as a<br />
career.<br />
The course covers the introduction to media<br />
techniques such as drawing and photography.<br />
Students will learn to use design software<br />
and create their own design concepts while<br />
collaborating with other students on creative<br />
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<br />
they show artistic or digital aptitude.<br />
“Many feel that school is not working for<br />
them or they left without qualifications,”<br />
says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary<br />
educator Trainme. “While not necessarily<br />
academically minded, they do have artistic<br />
talents and are very much into digital<br />
technology.”<br />
“This FREE six-month Trainme course,<br />
combines these in a very hands-on, practical<br />
way, giving them an intro<br />
into various digital media.<br />
This way, they can decide<br />
which direction to pursue<br />
as their career focus.”<br />
“As an NZQA approved<br />
programme, NCEA credits<br />
are built in, so if they<br />
apply themselves, they<br />
can graduate with a New<br />
Zealand Certificate in Arts<br />
and Design Level 2, as well<br />
as gaining credits towards NCEA level 1 or<br />
2.” Says Pollard.<br />
“NCEA results will depend on how many<br />
credits they bring to the course to start with,<br />
but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel like school<br />
at all.”<br />
Successful Graduates from this programme<br />
