St Margaret’s giving back
THE ST Margaret’s College
school year has started on a
charitable note.
Staff have built 20 bicycles
and donated them to Heart Kids
families and also donated 150
lunches to those in need through
the Eat My Lunch initiative.
Said St Margaret’s College
principal Diana Patchett: “It was
very emotional to see the pure
joy on the children’s faces when
they came to collect their bikes.”
Parents of four-year-old heart
child Harri Brown, Rod and Mel
Brown said the generosity shown
meant a lot to them and their
son. “It’s overwhelming that the
amazing people who work at St
Margaret’s wanted to support
Heart Kids NZ and our son Harri
by assembling and gifting him
a wonderful bike to ride with a
cool helmet, lock and bandana.
He loves it, thank you.”
Heart Kids is the only New
Zealand charity that provides
support to those with congenital
heart defects and childhood
heart disease.
Heart Kids regional family
support co-ordinator Margaret
Hewett-Hawker said: “Canterbury

of the St Margaret’s staff for

supporting our heart children.”
“Having the opportunity to
support Heart Kids, endorsing
philanthropy and generosity of
spirit, while also providing our
staff with a valuable team building
experience was the perfect
way to kick off the school year,”
Mrs Patchett said. The school
also supported the Eat My Lunch
programme by giving each staff
member an Eat My Lunch meal.
“We traditionally all eat
together at the beginning of the
year and this year we decided to
extend this by providing food to
those who otherwise would be
going hungry,” she said.
With every lunch bought, the
charity donates another to a
child in need.

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

Greenwood-Buchanan said she

back to work as Paige’s personal
hairdresser, tour companion and
personal assistant.
“I think she likes me because
we like a lot of the same things
. . . the fact I can help her with
her hair and make-up is a bit of a

always does it herself. We just get

While Greenwood-Buchanan
was in charge of setting up
Paige’s dressing room, she said
the star preferred to get ready and
decide what to wear by herself.
She described Paige as a “classy

herself look a “million dollars.”

She said it was a “career
highlight” to work with Paige.
“I remember listening to her
songs in the 80s . . . I was in awe
of her voice, her presence and
persona.”
Touring with Paige in 2012
“kicked off a massive career”
for Greenwood-Buchanan who
“didn’t really know” what she
was going to do after 29 years as a
hairdresser.
She has since been involved
in sourcing and styling wigs,
hairdressing, make-up and
managing wardrobes backstage
for shows. Following her first
tour with Paige, Greenwood-
Buchanan was contacted by one
of The Court Theatre’s leading
directors and asked to work on
wigs and hair backstage.
“I haven’t looked back really.
I have been contracted to do
this work ever since . . . it is a
whole new career,” she said.
Greenwood-Buchanan has also
led an exciting career on stage,
playing the lead role of Velma
Kelly in Showbiz Christchurch’s
production of Chicago in 2008.
She is also a co-director and
co-performer in vocal trio The

more for the public this year.

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

Bird nurse spreading her wings
• By Matt Slaughter
AFTER 20 years of caring for
some of Christchurch’s most
vulnerable, flying residents Jackie
Stevenson is ready to spread her
own wings.
The 72-year-old Parklands
resident says she’s on the lookout
for someone who shares her love
for birds to take her place nursing
them back to health.
Mrs Stevenson gave up her job
as a nurse when she realised birds
were her true passion.
Since then, her home has been
transformed into a bird rescue
centre.
However, Mrs Stevenson
said the long days and sleepless
nights, which came with caring
for sick birds had taken their toll.
“Each year I must admit, I
think this has to be my last year.”
“I’m getting older and each
year’s getting harder. It’s quite
physical work.”
Mrs Stevenson said for all of
the birds she had managed to
save, many died in her care and it
had made her job even harder.
She said her decision to seek
someone to take over her role had
also been made for her husband.
“He hates coming home and
seeing me so tired, so I’ve got to
think of him too.”
Mrs Stevenson said she
estimated that she had cared for
about 200 birds last year.
All of her work had been
voluntary, with some financial
support coming in the form of
donations from the public.
Mrs Stevenson received
$100 in petrol vouchers a
year from the Department of
Conservation and dog and cat
biscuits to mash up and feed to
the birds from the SPCA and
FLY AWAY:

Dogwatch.
She said cats were the main
cause of injuries to birds.
But recently the number of
injuries caused by vehicles had
increased.
Mrs Stevenson said she had
treated a number of species of
birds.
However, the number of native
wood pigeons that had been
brought to her with injuries was
increasing.
These birds most commonly
received their injuries from flying
into car windows.
Amongst those also commonly
in her care were New Zealand
native fantails.
As Mrs Stevenson continued
to search for someone to train to
take over her role, she said there
were a few easy things people
could do to make her job easier.
“One of the main things is not
picking birds up that don’t need
to be picked up.”
“With most birds, even if they
can’t fly they can get up trees,
they can get out of reach of cats.”
She said it was about “knowing
their needs and knowing when to
intervene.”
Mrs Stevenson said those who
were interested in taking over
from her could get in touch
directly through the Bird Rescue
Centres, part of New Zealand
Bird Rescue Charitable
Trust’s website www.birdrescue.

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

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

In his first season to date,
Ratcliffe has tallied a
team-leading nine goals.
He also adding seven assists
for a total of 16 points to be the
second highest points scorer on
the team.
He scored three gamewinning
goals, two of them in
big conference games.
“I love it. I was excited to get
back into school after taking
three years off to play junior
hockey,” said Ratcliffe.
“It’s been everything I
expected and more . . . it’s been
a lot of fun.”
Ratcliffe’s breakout rookie
season has also come to the
delight of his coach.
“We brought Jake in to be a
point-producer and he exceeded
our expectations,” said Westfield
State coach Bob Miele.
“He has a bright future ahead
of him.”
Ratcliffe – who is majoring in
business at Westfield – made his

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

Device to prevent
snoring
Why put up with broken sleep, when
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and
dry and raw throats.
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth
for comfort, and a follow up service is
provided.
Denise Lim has been involved with
Snores for 22 years and has had a 98%
success rate with
people using the
appliance. Snoring
can be a health
hazard, causing
sleep apnoea, where
the person actually
stops breathing for
short periods.
It can cause
short-term memory
loss, tiredness and
contribute to high
blood pressure.
The Snorex
device does not feel
restrictive, is noninvasive
and carries
a money-back
guarantee.
Many people are referred by ear, nose
and throat specialists, however, anyone can
phone for an appointment.
For an information pack or to discuss
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on
377 4318 or check out the website

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