INCREASING demand for free<br />
legal services due to Covid-19<br />
has prompted the Government<br />
to provide significant funding<br />
to community law centres<br />
across the country.<br />
Community Law Canterbury<br />
is among dozens to benefit from<br />
a $3.47 million funding boost<br />
over three years – in addition to<br />
the almost $8 million in funding<br />
that was already announced<br />
in Budget <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>.<br />
The increase will add $1.2<br />
million to community law<br />
services in the current financial<br />
year.<br />

Bromley<br />
smell<br />
fails to<br />
improve<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
THREE MONTHS have passed<br />
since city council-run facilities<br />
Living Earth and EcoCentral<br />
were identified as significant<br />
odour emitters in Bromley and<br />
beyond.<br />
But since the city council implemented<br />
an adaptive management<br />
plan to mitigate the odour in<br />
June, an Environment Canterbury<br />
report shows the smell has<br />
worsened.<br />
In May, before the plan went<br />
ahead, 225 reports of compost<br />
odours were submitted by the<br />
community, which decreased in<br />
June to 174, but July in comparison<br />
rose to <strong>20</strong>4 reports.<br />
The plan is two months into<br />
its three-month trial to test and<br />
carry out necessary changes to<br />
alleviate the issues, which will<br />
identify if the changes were successful.<br />
Said Carol Anderson, who has<br />
lived on Bromley’s Seascape Gardens<br />
for 23 years: “It’s been pretty<br />
bad, the stench just kills me. Any<br />
smell blows directly across where<br />
we live and in other areas.<br />

Church construction starts<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THE CONSTRUCTION of a<br />
$3.5 million church in Avonside<br />
has begun.<br />
The Most Holy Trinity Church<br />
on Stanmore Rd was destroyed<br />
in the February 22, <strong>20</strong>11, earthquake.<br />
It operated out of a much<br />
smaller, makeshift building for<br />
nine years but now a new church<br />
will be built on its original site<br />
after five years of planning.<br />
Its rebuild is under way and<br />
Reverend Jill Keir anticipates it<br />
will take about a year to complete.<br />
She said the new church will<br />
include two large spaces able to<br />
host about 100 people each for<br />
services and other gatherings, a<br />
small chapel, offices, and a new<br />
kitchen.<br />
Funding for it has come from<br />
insurance payouts.<br />
Keir said the new church<br />
will be a useful space for east<br />
Christchurch and have a positive<br />
impact on the community.<br />
“In my opinion, it will give<br />
us the opportunity to provide<br />
a much wider range of community<br />
activities. We hope it<br />
will become a community centre<br />
within the local area.”<br />
She said the building which<br />
the church has been operating<br />
out of for the last nine years will<br />
remain on-site and continue to<br />
be used as an additional space<br />
for activities.<br />
The original Most Holy Trinity<br />
Church was the first Anglican<br />
Church in Canterbury to be<br />
consecrated. That took place on<br />
February 24, 1857, it was established<br />
in 1855.<br />
On <strong>August</strong> 10, the first soil<br />
was broken before the construction<br />
of the new church began.<br />
About 60 people attended<br />
including Canterbury Anglican<br />
Bishop Peter Carrelland<br />
Christchurch East MP Poto<br />
Williams.<br />
Keir said the plan is to<br />
consecrate the new church on<br />
February 24, <strong>20</strong>22, the same day<br />
this took place at the old church<br />
165 years earlier.<br />
BREAKING SOIL:<br />
Canterbury Anglican<br />
Bishop Peter Carrellgets<br />
work started at the Most<br />
Holy Trinity Church site<br />
<strong>August</strong> 10.<br />
MILESTONE:<br />
A concept<br />
design of the<br />
new Most<br />
Holy Trinity<br />
Church being<br />
built on<br />
Stanmore Rd.<br />
It has taken<br />
five years<br />
to go from<br />
planning to<br />
construction.<br />
In Brief<br />
ROAD CLOSURE<br />
St Johns St is now closed<br />
between Glenroy St and Ferry<br />
Rd as part of the Woolston<br />
Village Upgrade. Construction<br />
includes renewing the<br />
underground sewer network<br />
which is badly degraded. The<br />
closure allows teams to work<br />
safely and continue sewer works<br />
on Ferry Rd and is expected<br />
to be completed in about four<br />
weeks.<br />
FEEDBACK SOUGHT<br />
Feedback is now open to update<br />
the city council’s Strengthening<br />
Communities Strategy.<br />
This strategy incorporates<br />
community group grants<br />
review and the community<br />
facilities plan which work in a<br />
range of ways to develop strong<br />
communities. Community<br />
participation encourages a sense<br />
of belonging and offers support<br />
in times of stress, and promote<br />
the wellbeing of individuals and<br />
families. Workshops are being<br />
organised by staff in community<br />
board areas to discuss how<br />
the city council can make the<br />
most of the opportunities and<br />
challenges over the next 10 years.<br />

14 and can be found at https://<br />

Candidate, Christchurch Central<br />
Resident of St.Albans, 58 and married with three children.<br />
Accomplished hospitality and recreation & events manager,<br />
with global experience running large complex operations<br />
in both the private and public sectors. Former owner of a<br />
successful hospitality & leisure consulting business.<br />
I am standing for NZ First because:<br />
•On my return after working overseas five years ago, I was struck by the<br />
inequality and a new class of working poor finding it hard to make ends meet<br />
let alone owning a home, the deterioration of public services, and a lack of<br />
investment in infrastructure to keep pace with unfettered population growth.<br />
•I was also appalled by National’s obsession with a low wage workforce<br />
instead of training young people - putting profit before people and the<br />
environment, their lack of compassion towards the elderly and other vulnerable<br />
groups, and their relentless sales of land, state houses, and primary businesses<br />
to foreign interests.<br />
My Priorities:<br />
•A more egalitarian, inclusive and just society in which everyone can provide<br />
for their families with well-paying jobs and affordable housing without being<br />
burdened with a lifetime of debt.<br />
•Environmental, economic and sovereign rights vigorously protected.<br />
•New Zealand as a responsible Pacific leader and protector.<br />
•Accessible and high quality health care.<br />
•Future generations able receive education and training well matched to their potential.<br />
•More government investment in infrastructure needs, research and<br />
development, and job rich sustainable industries.<br />
•Implementing the Provincial Growth Fund to boost regional economies.<br />
•Strong border security with all returnees paying their fair share.<br />
•An immigration policy strictly targeted to genuine labour and skills shortages.<br />
•Always looking after the elderly and all vulnerable groups.<br />

Odour may be stronger or<br />
weaker on different days<br />
•From page 1<br />
“It won’t make it easy to<br />
sell the house. I’m just feeling<br />
resigned.”<br />
She said the smell was<br />
not as bad this month as<br />
it was in previous months,<br />
but “having said that, it’s<br />
still been pretty horrendous.”<br />
While the trials were<br />
under way the plan outlined<br />
that the odour may<br />
be stronger or weaker on<br />
different days.<br />
Operational changes at<br />
refuse and recycling facility<br />
EcoDrop, managed by<br />
EcoCentral, showed a 40<br />
per cent decline in average<br />
“odour units” detected in<br />
July compared to June.<br />
Changes included clearing<br />
odorous waste in sealed<br />
containers quickly, ensuring<br />
all waste was cleared<br />
each night, and prioritising<br />
odorous waste.<br />
However, an increase in<br />
“offensive” reported odours<br />
were identified at organics<br />
processing plant Living<br />
Earth beyond the boundary<br />
of the site.<br />
“Living Earth has been<br />
using misters for a number<br />
of years as a tool to mitigate<br />
odour from the plant. Four<br />
additional, larger misters<br />
have been brought in and<br />
are now in use,” the city<br />
council’s AMP progress<br />
report said.<br />
High-need clients in city<br />
The compost “recipe”<br />
was also adjusted to replace<br />
the odour profile of the<br />
previous blend that was<br />
causing the offensive smell.<br />
“It will take about 12<br />
weeks for all of the compost<br />
from the old blend to<br />
completely cycle through<br />
the composting process<br />
and move off-site.”<br />
Linwood ward city<br />
councillor Yani Johanson<br />
is advocating for better<br />
national air quality standards<br />
and made a personal<br />
submission to the Ministry<br />
for the Environment seeking<br />
as such.<br />
“With two out of the<br />
three months up for significant<br />
reduction in odour<br />
complaints, the problem<br />
is growing which is completely<br />
unacceptable to<br />
the local community. This<br />
highlights clearly that the<br />
Resource Management Act<br />
is inadequate to deal with<br />
these activities.<br />
“There is no way what is<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Community Law<br />
Canterbury board chairman<br />
Jeremy Finn: “We’re<br />
delighted to get it in recognition<br />
of the huge, unmet<br />
demand that will continue<br />
to increase post-Covid-19.<br />
“But we also know that<br />
demand is at full capacity<br />
now, so we would expect<br />
the funding will allow us<br />
to increase our staffing<br />
and retain experienced<br />
lawyers.”<br />
He said the majority of<br />
issues clients have faced<br />
recently involved employment,<br />
changing work conditions,<br />
family law matters,<br />
immigration, finances and<br />
tenancy issues.<br />
The extra funding comes<br />
at a time when Community<br />
Law Centres around<br />
the country have been<br />
experiencing a significant<br />
decline in donations because<br />
of Covid-19.<br />
The Canterbury facility<br />
will receive their share of<br />
about $1<strong>20</strong>,000 a year for<br />
the next few years.<br />
The extra funding was<br />
important to retain and<br />
increase staff levels to allow<br />
for higher volumes of<br />
casework work to be completed,<br />
and for part-time<br />
staff to move into full-time<br />
roles.<br />
This was especially the<br />
case in Canterbury.<br />
“Our staff have great<br />
experience and have been<br />
working hard to support<br />
high-need clients,” he said.<br />
“Christchurch clients<br />
have high needs, especially<br />
in the aftermath of the<br />
earthquakes, mosque attack<br />
and now Covid-19.”<br />
CLC provide legal help<br />
and advice to those who<br />
are unable to pay for a private<br />
lawyer or have limited<br />
access to legal aid, which<br />
can cost much as $300 to<br />
$400 an hour.<br />
Said Sue Moroney, Community<br />
Law Centres o<br />
Aoteaora chief executive:<br />
“Increased funding will<br />
help community law centres<br />
to help the increasing<br />

Earth’s<br />
compost<br />

increased<br />

allowable in any community<br />

A screening machine,<br />
which processes materials<br />
twice to ensure it is<br />
fully broken down, will<br />
be installed next month<br />
at Living Earth to further<br />
mitigate the worsening<br />
stench.<br />
Said ECan councillor<br />
Nicole Marshall: “This<br />
three-month compliance<br />
period gives CCC time to<br />
be good neighbours, while<br />
enabling ECan to collect<br />
further data from the site<br />
so we can fulfil our duties<br />
as a regulator.<br />
“It’s important we resolve<br />
the issue for Bromley<br />
without simply moving it<br />
somewhere else.”<br />
The trial finishes by<br />
the end of <strong>August</strong>, and if<br />
proven unsuccessful, the<br />
city council will consider<br />
longer-term options with<br />
an outcome by the end of<br />
November this year.<br />

response. It will help<br />
us to support people to<br />
protect the most important<br />
building blocks in their<br />
lives – their families, their<br />
jobs, their homes.<br />
“We expect further<br />
waves of demand to hit for<br />
our services for months<br />
and years to come, with<br />
demand also growing for<br />
legal support on debt and<br />
finance issues.”<br />
Each year, CLCs complete<br />
about 50,000 cases<br />
and provide law-related<br />
education to about 25,000<br />
people.<br />
The Ministry of<br />
Justice forecasts showed<br />
demanded was expected<br />
to spike in the next few<br />
years, and the funding will<br />
support the delivery of<br />
about 15,000 extra cases.

A myriad of groups<br />

Reporter Bea<br />
Gooding speaks<br />
to the Graeme<br />
Dingle Foundation<br />
Canterbury manager<br />
Chris Davis about<br />
how its programmes<br />
help children build<br />
resilience and<br />
important life skills<br />
Could you tell me a bit<br />
about the Graeme Dingle<br />
Foundation?<br />
Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />
Canterbury has been<br />
supporting young people<br />
in our community through<br />
the delivery of positive child<br />
and youth development<br />
programmes since <strong>20</strong>02. We<br />
work with communities,<br />
predominantly in areas<br />
with high levels of social<br />
deprivation, to provide lifechanging<br />
opportunities for<br />
young people. To date, we have<br />
delivered our programmes to<br />
33,042 young people across<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Our vision is to empower<br />
our young people by providing<br />
them with the tools to<br />
overcome any obstacles that<br />
may come their way. Our<br />
programmes are currently<br />
benefitting over 3700 young<br />
people every week in 22<br />
schools across Canterbury<br />
of which 2592 students are<br />
in Christchurch specifically.<br />
These programmes build<br />
lifelong skills, positive<br />
relationships and qualities<br />
such as integrity, respect and<br />
resilience that will last the<br />
students a lifetime.<br />
What kind of programmes<br />
are available?<br />
Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />
Canterbury runs three<br />
programmes, Kiwi Can, Stars<br />
and Project K. Kiwi Can is the<br />
primary school programme.<br />
The students attend a Kiwi<br />
Can session each week and<br />
learn core values and life skills<br />
through games and activities.<br />
Stars is a year 9 peer mentoring<br />
programme. Year 12 and year<br />
13 students are trained to<br />
run mentoring classes once a<br />
week for year 9s. The students<br />
learn about bullying, social<br />
media, positive relationships,<br />
teamwork and respecting each<br />
other. Project K is a 21-day<br />
wilderness expedition for year<br />
10 students. The students<br />
are taken <strong>20</strong>0km away from<br />
school into the Southern Alps<br />
and then hike, camp and<br />
cycle their way back to school.<br />
Project K is a journey of selfdiscovery.<br />

I understand the<br />
programme has experienced<br />
an increased demand<br />
recently. Why has this been<br />
the case?<br />
The last few years have<br />
been very difficult for young<br />
people in Christchurch, more<br />
so than in other parts of<br />
Aotearoa. The psychosocial<br />
impacts of the earthquakes<br />
are still lingering, with<br />
parts of East Christchurch<br />
remaining uninhabitable due<br />
to the earthquake-ravaged<br />
“red zone.” More recently,<br />
these same young people have<br />
had to deal with the horror<br />
forced upon them by an act<br />
of terrorism, right on their<br />
doorstep. Now they are faced<br />
with Covid-19, with the “new<br />
normal” that this brings<br />
and with likely job losses<br />
impacting their home lives –<br />
the mental health and<br />
well-being of these families<br />
may be negatively impacted,<br />
adversely affecting many<br />
young people across these<br />
communities.<br />
Census <strong>20</strong>18 statistics across<br />
the communities we work in<br />
a paint a sobering picture,<br />
with nearly a quarter of all<br />
school leavers not gaining<br />
qualifications and a NEET<br />
rate (Not in Employment,<br />
Education and/or Training) of<br />
above 15 per cent.<br />
What kind of issues have<br />
been impacting school<br />
children recently? And<br />
how has the programme<br />
helped them overcome these<br />
barriers?<br />
School principals ask<br />
for the Graeme Dingle<br />
Foundation programmes<br />
to come into their schools<br />
because we provide positive<br />
youth development that<br />
complements and extends the<br />
positive behaviour for learning<br />
work that schools are already<br />
doing for their students.<br />
“Many of [our] students<br />
lack the privilege of being<br />
immersed in and surrounded<br />
by positive role models in their<br />
life. The Kiwi Can programme<br />
has provided the opportunity<br />
for our kids to learn, practice<br />
and demonstrate the<br />
implementation of values into<br />
their everyday actions and<br />
behaviours. I can confidentially<br />
say that the programme will<br />
undoubtedly have long term<br />
benefits for our students and<br />
their ability to positively<br />
contribute to our community.”<br />
– Janeane Reid, principal of<br />
Te Waka Unua School.<br />
What are the common<br />
barriers that hold children<br />
back from reaching their full<br />
potential in life?<br />
It is always so important<br />
to remember that not all<br />
childhoods are created equal.<br />
Some kids have a tough<br />
start and it can hold them<br />
back. Big factors are poverty,<br />
family instability with lots of<br />
moving house and changing<br />
schools, lack of good housing<br />
and hunger. Our goal as an<br />
organisation is to help those<br />
kids to know that, no matter<br />
what their start is in life, what<br />
they have inside is strong<br />
enough to overcome any<br />
obstacle.<br />
Why is an organisation<br />
like this important for<br />
Canterbury kids?<br />
I think a school principal<br />
can answer this better than I<br />
can:<br />
“Kiwi Can has a positive<br />
impact on the students at<br />
Bamford School. Through<br />
the programme, senior<br />
students have become<br />
more confident and have<br />
developed the ability to take<br />
risks in front of their peers<br />
without being embarrassed.<br />
Furthermore, they have<br />
learnt valuable lessons about<br />
resilience, honesty, integrity<br />
and leadership through fun<br />
and engaging activities,” –<br />
Shona Hewlett, principal of<br />
Ngutuawa School.<br />
What advice would you<br />
give parents and educators<br />
to instil positivity, resilience<br />
and confidence in school<br />
kids, and why?<br />
The teachers and principals<br />
we meet and work with<br />
are fantastic and are all<br />
working really hard on<br />
behalf of Canterbury’s youth.<br />
Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />
Canterbury’s role is to provide<br />
a set time each week where<br />
the students can really focus<br />
on learning about respect,<br />
positive relationships,<br />
resilience and integrity. These<br />
positive values are of course<br />
also being learned about<br />
during regular class time and<br />
at home.<br />
Our foundation’s role is<br />
to focus strongly on these<br />
topics in a whole-class format<br />
every week. The students get<br />
a chance to play games that<br />
model positive behaviours<br />
and to carefully consider<br />
and discuss their values and<br />
actions.<br />
Our classes are a chance to<br />
talk about values regularly<br />
with young people and our<br />
school leaders model good<br />
values and behaviours. Kids<br />
become what they see and<br />
hear.<br />

Students part of planting project<br />
HIGH SCHOOL students across<br />
the city have planted thousands<br />
of native trees in part of New<br />
Brighton’s red zone this year and<br />
plan to add another 10,000 over<br />
the next four years.<br />
An additional planting day has<br />
been planned for the end of the<br />
month, where the students will<br />
add a further 1100 native trees<br />
and plants at Chimera Cres.<br />
The students, who will be<br />
joined with members from<br />
the local community, are from<br />
Shirley Boys’ High, Avonside<br />
Girls’ High, Christchurch Girls’<br />
High, Linwood College, Rawhiti<br />
School, Heaton Intermediate,<br />
Christ’s College, St Margaret’s<br />
College, Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />
School, St Andrew’s College and<br />
Cathedral Grammar.<br />
Head of physics at Christ’s<br />
College David Newton is responsible<br />
for leading the ambitious<br />
project which began last year.<br />
“Over the next four years we’re<br />
going to complete the current<br />
area we’re working on, plant the<br />
QE II Adventure Nature Trail<br />
and start another large block<br />
which is currently under negotiation<br />
with the Christchurch<br />
City Council,” he said.<br />
The planting was an opportunity<br />
for the students to practically<br />
realise the “positive impact”<br />
they can have on the community,<br />
and the planet, by contributing<br />
their part.<br />
“Our work will grow a forest<br />
that will be a lasting memorial<br />
for their efforts,” he said.<br />
“It demonstrates the power<br />
ordinary people have to<br />
change our city, country and<br />
the planet by helping mitigate<br />
climate change and increasing<br />
biodiversity.”<br />
Twenty different species of<br />
native trees and grasses will be<br />
planted, including pittosporum,<br />
ake ake, totara, flax, carex secta,<br />
and lophomyrtus.<br />
Said Newton: “We’ve selected<br />
these plants to provide both<br />
habitat and food for native birds<br />
and lizards. We want to see more<br />
native birds in Christchurch,<br />
and this is a huge opportunity to<br />
plant a forest that runs as a green<br />
spine through the city.<br />
“The best thing you can do<br />
to encourage native birdlife<br />
back to the city is to plant<br />
trees that become a year-round<br />
supply of bird food.”<br />
DIGGING DEEP:<br />
Led by Christ’s<br />
College head of<br />
physics teacher<br />
David Newton,<br />
students<br />
from high<br />
schools across<br />

helped plant<br />
thousands of<br />
native trees in<br />
New Brighton’s<br />

Newton welcomes help from<br />
the community if they have an<br />
hour or two to spare.<br />
He urges people to bring their<br />
own spades, but that tools were<br />
available for use if needed.<br />
The replanting work is being<br />
undertaken in conjunction with<br />

organisation formed in <strong>20</strong>02 to<br />
protect one of New Zealand’s<br />

Each week she introduces a<br />
new bird found in the estuary.<br />
Her column aims to raise the<br />
understanding of the values and<br />
uniqueness of the area.<br />
THE LITTLE Cormorant/<br />
Kawau paka is one of several<br />
cormorant species found<br />
around the estuary and lower<br />
reaches of our rivers.<br />
Who doesn’t enjoy watching<br />
these birds sitting along the<br />
estuary, or perched in trees<br />
along river banks with their<br />
wings spread out? But why do<br />
they do this?<br />
Cormorants dive under<br />
water to catch their prey but<br />
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Little cormorant is a masterful fish hunter<br />
unlike non-diving birds their<br />
feathers are not as waterproof<br />
which allows them to dive in<br />
the first place.<br />
It does mean, however, that<br />
they need to ‘spread their<br />
wings and tail feathers” to dry<br />
out after each meal, or they<br />
would lose their body temperature.<br />
It’s amazing how nature<br />
provides for all the different<br />
needs of different birds.<br />
The little cormorants have<br />
been observed eating up to 30<br />
small eels and fish each day. It<br />
must be a tough life having to<br />
fish, then dry out that many<br />
times a day.<br />
How can we help the<br />
cormorant numbers to thrive?<br />
Keep dogs on the lead when<br />
walking along riverbanks and<br />
the estuary edge.<br />
Dogs are a huge threat to<br />
birds needing to nest, rest and<br />
feed in peace.<br />

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

Apple Cider VinegAr<br />
Powerful Natural<br />
Health Tonic<br />
ACV is a highly nutritious health tonic with all the goodness of<br />
apples (one of our most health-giving fruits) in a form that is readily<br />
accepted by the body. It promotes healthy digestion, assimilation of<br />
nutrients & elimination of wastes. It is detoxifying, purifying as well as<br />
supporting the function of vital organs like the kidneys, bladder, liver<br />
& heart. It helps neutralise toxic substances & harmful bacteria in<br />
food. A time-honoured natural remedy to improve health & longevity.<br />

OPTIMISTIC: Jolt Dance founder Lyn Cotton and dancer Carl Te Tone Huia<br />
were meant to perform their original works in London this year, but it was<br />
postponed due to Covid-19.<br />
Challenging disability<br />
through creative arts<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
CANTABRIANS will soon<br />
be treated to a performance<br />
which challenges<br />
perspectives about dance<br />
and disability in the<br />
creative arts industry.<br />
Representatives from Jolt<br />
Dance company were due<br />
to showcase their work at<br />
performance art theatre<br />
Lyric Hammersmith in<br />
London during May but<br />
it was cancelled due to<br />
Covid-19.<br />
Jolt founder Lyn Cotton<br />
is feeling optimistic in spite<br />
of the growing uncertainty<br />
in the coming months.<br />
“We’re looking at it<br />
positively and view it as<br />
a postponement, we still<br />
want to show London what<br />
New Zealand is capable<br />
of,” she said.<br />
“We’re not angry about<br />
it, this is a time of patience<br />
and reflection and it’s<br />
given us an opportunity to<br />
look at the work again in<br />
more depth.”<br />
Including Cotton, Jolt<br />
dancers and tutors Carl<br />
Huia, Aleasha Seaward,<br />
Rochelle Waters and Renee<br />
Ryan were meant to spend<br />
a week in London to take<br />
part in Amici Dance<br />
Theatre Company’s 40thanniversary<br />
celebrations<br />
and raised $10,000 to do so.<br />
Amici is also an inclusive<br />
dance company and<br />
invited the team to present<br />
two original works, discuss<br />
their achievements and<br />
host teaching sessions.<br />
They Call Me Sam is a<br />
short film that chronicled<br />
life with down syndrome<br />
and challenges attitudes<br />
about having a disability.<br />
Takiwatanga is a performance<br />
which is shaped<br />
by Huia’s Māori culture<br />
INCLUSIVITY: Georgia Scarsbrook, Hunter<br />
McLintock, Brooke Joyce and Shanna Charles<br />
are on a mission to break barriers within the<br />
creative arts industry through dance.<br />
PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
and his lived experience of<br />
autism.<br />
The word “takiwatanga”<br />
is used to describe autism<br />
and means “in his or her<br />
own time and space.”<br />
Cotton met Amici<br />
founder Wolfgang Strange<br />
in 1995, and after spending<br />
a few years under his wing,<br />
she was inspired to open<br />
her own dance studio with<br />
a similar concept of breaking<br />
barriers within the<br />
disability community.<br />
“Wolfgang was my<br />
teacher for three years, and<br />
when I came back to NZ I<br />
set up my own Jolt classes<br />
and it grew from there,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We take what the dancers<br />
give us which shapes<br />
our work - it’s not just<br />
about participation, it’s<br />
about excellence and for<br />
people with disabilities to<br />
have their voices heard.”<br />
Not only do they offer<br />
dance classes, teaching and<br />
choreography training was<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
also available which leads<br />
to industry level pathways<br />
through performance and<br />
leadership.<br />
Jolt’s “Move” programme<br />
is the country’s only teacher<br />
training programme for<br />
people with disabilities,<br />
taking their work into<br />
mainstream schools to<br />
teach non-disabled children.<br />
Said Cotton: “All peer<br />
pressure starts to drop<br />
away when they come together<br />
and dance. It’s okay<br />
to be different.<br />
“The bar was set low<br />
for what people with disabilities<br />
can achieve, and<br />
now they’re playing catch<br />
up because they’ve been<br />
denied that opportunity<br />
for so long.”<br />
Jolt Dance celebrates<br />
their <strong>20</strong>th anniversary next<br />
year and has since grown<br />
to more than 150 dancers.<br />
They will plan to showcase<br />
their original works in<br />
Christchurch in October.

Ground moisture barrier<br />
under low sub-floor<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<br />
and healthy for their families throughout<br />
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />
many of our older properties which suffer<br />
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />
people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />
from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />
musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />
very young are especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems caused by rising<br />
damp and are there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />
flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />
floored home.<br />
While insulation is important, it has been<br />
recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />
Standards introduced by the government<br />
effective from the 1st July <strong>20</strong>19 now has<br />
a requirement to install ground moisture<br />
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />
moisture in the home.<br />
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />
on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />
where the floor is suspended over damp<br />
ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />
close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />
under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />
home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

ATTACK RISING DAMP<br />
Zone Control for your<br />
ducted heat pump<br />
Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient<br />
way to heat (or cool) your home. The<br />
air from the heat pump is ducted to<br />
several rooms or zones in your house.<br />
Using a zone control system makes your<br />
ducted heat pump even more efficient, by<br />
specifying the amount of heat required<br />
in each area, so not wasting energy to<br />
overheat or overcool any room.<br />
The AirTouch4 zone control system<br />
from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump<br />
air zoning to a whole new level of comfort<br />
and energy efficiency.<br />
AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone<br />
Control<br />
Have total control of your comfort zone:<br />
AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different<br />
level of conditioned air in the room they<br />
are in.<br />
Save money on the power<br />
bill, without compromising on<br />
comfort, by only running the<br />
heating or cooling where you<br />
need it with Smart Zoning.<br />
Plus with runtime tracking,<br />
energy and airflow management<br />
technology, you can enjoy greater<br />
efficiency and savings from your<br />
family’s ducted heat pump.<br />
60 %<br />
The AirTouch4 can also<br />
connect to Google Home and<br />
Amazon Alexa.<br />
Not every home is designed<br />
equal. Not every room is either.<br />
Adapt your home to<br />
YOUR IDEA<br />
OF COMFORT<br />
Temperatures can often fluctuate from<br />
one room to the next because of sunlight,<br />
room activity or other factors.<br />
With AirTouch4’s Individual<br />
Temperature Control Technology (ITC),<br />
the AirTouch monitors temperatures<br />
and smartly adjusts airflow as needed<br />
around your home with the aid of multiple<br />
wireless temperature sensors instead of a<br />
single sensor in one location. When some<br />
rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch<br />
will adjust airflow to maintain your desired<br />
temperature, without wasting conditioned<br />
air on rooms already comfortable.<br />
