St Margaret’s giving back<br />
THE ST Margaret’s College<br />
school year has started on a<br />
charitable note.<br />
Staff have built 20 bicycles<br />
and donated them to Heart Kids<br />
families and also donated 150<br />
lunches to those in need through<br />
the Eat My Lunch initiative.<br />
Said St Margaret’s College<br />
principal Diana Patchett: “It was<br />
very emotional to see the pure<br />
joy on the children’s faces when<br />
they came to collect their bikes.”<br />
Parents of four-year-old heart<br />
child Harri Brown, Rod and Mel<br />
Brown said the generosity shown<br />
meant a lot to them and their<br />
son. “It’s overwhelming that the<br />
amazing people who work at St<br />
Margaret’s wanted to support<br />
Heart Kids NZ and our son Harri<br />
by assembling and gifting him<br />
a wonderful bike to ride with a<br />
cool helmet, lock and bandana.<br />
He loves it, thank you.”<br />
Heart Kids is the only New<br />
Zealand charity that provides<br />
support to those with congenital<br />
heart defects and childhood<br />
heart disease.<br />
Heart Kids regional family<br />
support co-ordinator Margaret<br />
Hewett-Hawker said: “Canterbury<br />
Heart Kids NZ are deeply<br />
moved and grateful for the kindness,<br />
generosity and thoughtfulness<br />
of the St Margaret’s staff for<br />
GIVING: Staff from St Margaret’s College built 20 bicycles to donate to children with heart conditions.<br />
They also donated 150 lunches to children in need through the Eat My Lunch initiative.<br />
supporting our heart children.”<br />
“Having the opportunity to<br />
support Heart Kids, endorsing<br />
philanthropy and generosity of<br />
spirit, while also providing our<br />
staff with a valuable team building<br />
experience was the perfect<br />
way to kick off the school year,”<br />
Mrs Patchett said. The school<br />
also supported the Eat My Lunch<br />
programme by giving each staff<br />
member an Eat My Lunch meal.<br />
“We traditionally all eat<br />
together at the beginning of the<br />
year and this year we decided to<br />
extend this by providing food to<br />
those who otherwise would be<br />
going hungry,” she said.<br />
With every lunch bought, the<br />
charity donates another to a<br />
child in need.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Zaras, Kates and twins at Rangi<br />
THREE SETS of twins, three<br />
Zaras and seven Kates are part<br />
of a full boarding house at<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School this<br />
year.<br />
Director of boarding Kyleigh<br />
Lyth said it’s been a fantastic<br />
first few days with the new<br />
girls arriving and the returning<br />
boarders catching up with their<br />
friends and housemates.<br />
“The weather has been<br />
fabulous,” said Mrs Lyth. “The<br />
programme has been a real<br />
hit with the girls. They have<br />
enjoyed pottery, an ice cream<br />
sundae parlour, a movie night, a<br />
visit to the gondola, and a walk<br />
finishing at Corsair Bay for a<br />
barbecue and swim.”<br />
Of the 138 girls in the house,<br />
there are 36 year 9 boarders and<br />
40 new girls. One of the points<br />
of difference about boarding at<br />
Rangi Ruru is the opportunity<br />
senior boarders have to “go<br />
flatting” within the boarding<br />
house. The older girls are<br />
looking forward to experiencing<br />
the extra independence this<br />
gives them.<br />
“They love it. As well as<br />
learning about budgeting and<br />
other important parts of living<br />
together, once a term the girls<br />
are encouraged to host a flat<br />
dinner party and are welcome<br />
to invite friends. At one last year<br />
I was lucky enough to attend,<br />
we had a wonderful Thai dinner<br />
in the flat. It’s a great way to<br />
introduce the girls to flatting<br />
while still having a full support<br />
network around them,” Mrs<br />
Lyth said.<br />
As the boarders settle in,<br />
there’s a lot of positive energy<br />
and talk bouncing around<br />
the walls of the Rangi Ruru<br />
boarding house.<br />

NEW ZEALAND’S FAVOURITE AIR<br />
•From page 1<br />
Greenwood-Buchanan said she<br />
was “very privileged” to be asked<br />
back to work as Paige’s personal<br />
hairdresser, tour companion and<br />
personal assistant.<br />
“I think she likes me because<br />
we like a lot of the same things<br />
. . . the fact I can help her with<br />
her hair and make-up is a bit of a<br />
treat for her because she usually<br />
always does it herself. We just get<br />
on really well,” she said.<br />
While Greenwood-Buchanan<br />
was in charge of setting up<br />
Paige’s dressing room, she said<br />
the star preferred to get ready and<br />
decide what to wear by herself.<br />
She described Paige as a “classy<br />
lady” who knows how to make<br />
herself look a “million dollars.”<br />
“She is absolutely lovely. She<br />
is very down to earth, she has a<br />
Fujitsu’s Catechin Filters are<br />
approved by the Asthma and<br />
Respiratory Foundation NZ’s<br />
Sensitive Choice ® programme.<br />
fantastic sense of humour. We<br />
have a lot of laughs,” Greenwood-<br />
Buchanan said.<br />
She said it was a “career<br />
highlight” to work with Paige.<br />
“I remember listening to her<br />
songs in the 80s . . . I was in awe<br />
of her voice, her presence and<br />
persona.”<br />
Touring with Paige in 2012<br />
“kicked off a massive career”<br />
for Greenwood-Buchanan who<br />
“didn’t really know” what she<br />
was going to do after 29 years as a<br />
hairdresser.<br />
She has since been involved<br />
in sourcing and styling wigs,<br />
hairdressing, make-up and<br />
managing wardrobes backstage<br />
for shows. Following her first<br />
tour with Paige, Greenwood-<br />
Buchanan was contacted by one<br />
of The Court Theatre’s leading<br />
directors and asked to work on<br />
wigs and hair backstage.<br />
“I haven’t looked back really.<br />
I have been contracted to do<br />
this work ever since . . . it is a<br />
whole new career,” she said.<br />
Greenwood-Buchanan has also<br />
led an exciting career on stage,<br />
playing the lead role of Velma<br />
Kelly in Showbiz Christchurch’s<br />
production of Chicago in 2008.<br />
She is also a co-director and<br />
co-performer in vocal trio The<br />
Starlets, and hopes to perform<br />
more for the public this year.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Students nuts and bolts about robots<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH School<br />
students with a flair for<br />
electronics will take their own<br />
robot to a national competition.<br />
Aditi Sharma, Alisha Sangwan<br />
and Aarya Advilkar have spent<br />
hours joining wheels, axles,<br />
motors and gears to create their<br />
own robotic machine.<br />
But the hard work has paid<br />
off, with the students travelling<br />
to the Vex Robotics National<br />
Competition in Auckland later<br />
this month.<br />
The competition requires<br />
students to build and<br />
programme a robot, which<br />
will then undertake a series of<br />
challenges.<br />
The students have designed<br />
their robot to launch balls<br />
through a catapult design, go up<br />
onto platforms and flip flags.<br />
It is controlled by a remote<br />
controller.<br />
Aditi, 15, said it is an<br />
opportunity for them as they can<br />
meet other people who share the<br />
same interests.<br />
They have been working on<br />
building the robot since January<br />
last year and have spent time in<br />
their school holidays working on<br />
the project.<br />
BUILDERS: Burnside High School students Alisha Sangwan, Aditi Sharma and Aarya Advilkar will<br />
be taking their robot to the Vex Robotics National Competition<br />
Alisha, 13, said the students<br />
are hoping to earn a good<br />
placing in the competition.<br />
“Top 50 would be good, but the<br />
least would be getting experience<br />
and new ideas of what other<br />
OPTION ONE<br />
people think,” she said.<br />
All three students share an<br />
interest in electronics and how<br />
robotics could impact society in<br />
the future.<br />
Alisha said while she doesn’t<br />
think “robots are going to take<br />
over the world” learning about<br />
them is helpful if you want<br />
to go into different types of<br />
technology.<br />
She said the programming<br />
for the robot has similarities to<br />
science, technology, engineering<br />
and mathematics.<br />
Aarya, 14, said she “likes<br />
robotics so much” and thinks<br />
it will help her in the future as<br />
she is considering becoming an<br />
architect.<br />
“I like to plan ideas for the<br />
robots and how it can compete<br />
in the game and how it can fulfil<br />
the task within the game,” she<br />
said.<br />
Aditi said she is taking three<br />
technology subjects this year and<br />
is interested in pursuing a career<br />
in engineering.<br />
“I think robots would be a<br />
good part of society, they can<br />
help in so many ways. They can<br />
do things humans can’t,” she<br />
said.<br />
About 80 teams from around<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Bird nurse spreading her wings<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
AFTER 20 years of caring for<br />
some of Christchurch’s most<br />
vulnerable, flying residents Jackie<br />
Stevenson is ready to spread her<br />
own wings.<br />
The 72-year-old Parklands<br />
resident says she’s on the lookout<br />
for someone who shares her love<br />
for birds to take her place nursing<br />
them back to health.<br />
Mrs Stevenson gave up her job<br />
as a nurse when she realised birds<br />
were her true passion.<br />
Since then, her home has been<br />
transformed into a bird rescue<br />
centre.<br />
However, Mrs Stevenson<br />
said the long days and sleepless<br />
nights, which came with caring<br />
for sick birds had taken their toll.<br />
“Each year I must admit, I<br />
think this has to be my last year.”<br />
“I’m getting older and each<br />
year’s getting harder. It’s quite<br />
physical work.”<br />
Mrs Stevenson said for all of<br />
the birds she had managed to<br />
save, many died in her care and it<br />
had made her job even harder.<br />
She said her decision to seek<br />
someone to take over her role had<br />
also been made for her husband.<br />
“He hates coming home and<br />
seeing me so tired, so I’ve got to<br />
think of him too.”<br />
Mrs Stevenson said she<br />
estimated that she had cared for<br />
about 200 birds last year.<br />
All of her work had been<br />
voluntary, with some financial<br />
support coming in the form of<br />
donations from the public.<br />
Mrs Stevenson received<br />
$100 in petrol vouchers a<br />
year from the Department of<br />
Conservation and dog and cat<br />
biscuits to mash up and feed to<br />
the birds from the SPCA and<br />
FLY AWAY:<br />
Jackie Stevenson<br />
with an injured<br />
8-week-old<br />
wood pigeon.<br />
Dogwatch.<br />
She said cats were the main<br />
cause of injuries to birds.<br />
But recently the number of<br />
injuries caused by vehicles had<br />
increased.<br />
Mrs Stevenson said she had<br />
treated a number of species of<br />
birds.<br />
However, the number of native<br />
wood pigeons that had been<br />
brought to her with injuries was<br />
increasing.<br />
These birds most commonly<br />
received their injuries from flying<br />
into car windows.<br />
Amongst those also commonly<br />
in her care were New Zealand<br />
native fantails.<br />
As Mrs Stevenson continued<br />
to search for someone to train to<br />
take over her role, she said there<br />
were a few easy things people<br />
could do to make her job easier.<br />
“One of the main things is not<br />
picking birds up that don’t need<br />
to be picked up.”<br />
“With most birds, even if they<br />
can’t fly they can get up trees,<br />
they can get out of reach of cats.”<br />
She said it was about “knowing<br />
their needs and knowing when to<br />
intervene.”<br />
Mrs Stevenson said those who<br />
were interested in taking over<br />
from her could get in touch<br />
directly through the Bird Rescue<br />
Centres, part of New Zealand<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />
senior manager<br />
public transport<br />
Stewart Gibbon<br />
responds to the<br />
article last week<br />
about Diana<br />
Isaac Retirement<br />
Village residents’<br />
transport issue<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
introduced the idea of a Community<br />
Vehicle Trust for Diana Isaac<br />
Retirement Village in November<br />
and has had two conversations<br />
with Graham Tate and other<br />
residents on the matter, including<br />
the January meeting. Throughout<br />
Canterbury, where traditional<br />
scheduled public transport is<br />
unavailable, the Community Vehicle<br />
Trust model has proven to<br />
be highly successful in delivering<br />
accessible, flexible and affordable<br />
transport options to defined<br />
geographical communities. We<br />
are focused on identifying a solution<br />
that is sustainable and will<br />
meet the longer term needs of the<br />
residents. The transport needs<br />
of the residents, and the flexible,<br />
close proximity and community<br />
nature of the Community<br />
Vehicle Trust model appears to<br />
align well with the current and<br />
future transport needs of the<br />
residents. We are still exploring<br />
the viability of the option<br />
with the residents and Ryman<br />
Healthcare. However, discussions<br />
to date have been positive and<br />
focused on running a trial period<br />
of up to six months, to validate<br />
the feasibility of the idea in this<br />
specific urban context. ECan<br />
would provide support to the<br />
retirement village in setting up its<br />
Community Vehicle Trust, then<br />
all operational matters moving<br />
forward would be managed by<br />
the trust, such as determining<br />
vehicle size and type, destinations<br />
and trip times. Community<br />
Vehicle Trusts receive annual<br />
grant funding from ECan and<br />
the New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency, and obtain grant funding<br />
from other sources. They<br />
also receive funds from customer<br />
usage of the service to cover the<br />
cost of the journeys taken. These<br />
funding sources combined enable<br />
the trust to procure and manage<br />
their vehicles and associated<br />
administrative functions.<br />
OPTION: ECan is investigating a service to transport retirement<br />
village residents now that the Orbiter bus no longer stops<br />
outside the village.<br />

TRIALIST: Ashlee Strawbridge hopes to represent New<br />

for New Zealand<br />
RANGI RURU year 13 student<br />
Ashlee Strawbridge has been<br />
named to trial for the New<br />
Zealand under-17 basketball<br />
team.<br />
Seventy-five basketballers from<br />
across the country will attend<br />
the trials this week at the Bruce<br />
Pulman Arena in Auckland,<br />
before the team competes at the<br />

Caledonia in August. The aim is<br />
to qualify for the FIBA Asia Cup.<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School<br />
director of sport Mandy Anderson<br />
said Ashlee is a standout<br />
performer and a player with huge<br />
future potential.<br />
“The under-17 group provides<br />
a large number of potential team<br />
members and that together with<br />
North Island dominance in basketball,<br />
really underlines Ashlee’s<br />
significant achievement being<br />
selected for trials.”<br />
Ashlee celebrated her 17th<br />
birthday the day she found out<br />
about her selection.<br />
She said she is “stoked” to be<br />
trialling.<br />
“I will be working and training<br />
with every bit of energy and drive<br />
I have to represent my country,”<br />
she said. The team to play in<br />
New Caledonia is expected to be<br />
named by March.<br />

Centuries old folk remedy supports<br />
good health!<br />
A fermented liquid health<br />
tonic offers an array of<br />
powerful health benefits. It is<br />
none other than the popular<br />
apple cider vinegar or ACV.<br />
Since the time of Hippocrates – the “Father<br />
of Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for its<br />
curative properties.<br />
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS & FOLK<br />
MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he<br />
found that Vermonters who regularly consumed<br />
ACV and Honey had excellent health with<br />
many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the<br />
farm even when well into their eighties. He also<br />
noted the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />
remarkable with many patients reporting almost<br />
total relief after taking a course of the<br />
mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />
the acid and potassium in cider<br />
vinegar counteracted calcium<br />
deposits and helped the body<br />
control calcium use. He also noted<br />
that Vermonters who consumed<br />
ACV and H around meal time<br />
had excellent blood pressure and<br />
circulation. The reason he found<br />
was that protein foods thickened<br />
the blood and vinegar thinned it.<br />
As the blood thickens it cannot<br />
pass as easily and quickly through<br />
the blood vessels and capillaries. This<br />
poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />
health by limiting nutrients to the cells<br />
as well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />
To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />
increases blood pressure but this puts more stress<br />
on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having<br />
ACV and H with meals will help prevent protein<br />
raising the blood pressure. It also contributes<br />
to a feeling of greater well-being because the<br />
thinner blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />
through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular<br />
consumption of CV and H to be an excellent<br />
health tonic with numerous Health attributes.<br />
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the<br />
goodness of the apple in a form that is readily<br />
accepted by the bodyGood health starts with good<br />
digestion and assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken<br />
before food will stimulate and promote healthy<br />
digestion and assimilation of vital nutrients for<br />
good health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />
helps prevent disease by neutralising any toxic<br />
substances that enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all ACV is produced<br />
in the traditional way and results are likely to<br />
prove disappointing with these other vinegars.<br />
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV with 20%<br />
Manuka Honey is produced in Canterbury from<br />
Organic whole apples in the traditional way. It is<br />
double strength so you can use less.<br />

Device to prevent<br />
snoring<br />
Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />
dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />
for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />
provided.<br />
Denise Lim has been involved with<br />
Snores for 22 years and has had a 98%<br />
success rate with<br />
people using the<br />
appliance. Snoring<br />
can be a health<br />
hazard, causing<br />
sleep apnoea, where<br />
the person actually<br />
stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause<br />
short-term memory<br />
loss, tiredness and<br />
contribute to high<br />
blood pressure.<br />
The Snorex<br />
device does not feel<br />
restrictive, is noninvasive<br />
and carries<br />
a money-back<br />
guarantee.<br />
Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />
and throat specialists, however, anyone can<br />
phone for an appointment.<br />
For an information pack or to discuss<br />
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on<br />

Collagen<br />
The Body’s Youth Protein<br />
Collagen is the primary protein in the<br />
body. It is a major component of skin,<br />
hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments,<br />
joint cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, eyes,<br />
and blood vessels.<br />
In fact collagen is the primary<br />
structural component for all tissue<br />
in the body, providing the strength<br />
and resilience associated with youth,<br />
beauty and wellness. The body’s natural<br />
collagen production decreases with<br />
age resulting in many signs of aging,<br />
such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament<br />
and tendon injuries and aching joints.<br />
Collagen supplementation is one of<br />
the most fundamental things a person<br />
can do to prevent premature aging and<br />
promote youthful vitality.<br />
NEOCELL are the industry leaders<br />
in research on collagen supplementation.<br />
Through advanced research they have<br />
perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and<br />
effectively reduce its molecular weight this<br />
improving the absorption of collagen into<br />
the blood stream by over 90%.<br />
A clinical study on NEOCELL<br />
COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to<br />
increase an average of 21% and up to 50%,<br />
with 92% of test subjects experiencing<br />
firmer, softer skin. Most people taking<br />
NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing<br />
visible improvements within two weeks.<br />
Collagen supplementation provides<br />
the nutrients necessary to support the<br />
body’s collagen supply. It can help reduce<br />
fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin<br />
elasticity, support building of strong bones<br />
and teeth, strengthen the nails and hair,<br />
and is vital for muscle growth, It also<br />
assists weight loss by helping burn fat<br />
for energy, promotes wound healing by<br />
supporting the regeneration of healthy<br />
tissue as well as help support overall<br />
health.<br />
