Dispute<br />
over how<br />
safe it is<br />
to live in<br />
Parklands<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
GRANT DONNELL thinks police<br />
need to “open their eyes” if they<br />
believe youth offending has not<br />
increased in Parklands.<br />
Police say the suburb is statistically<br />
a safe community to live in,<br />
but a 2000-signature strong petition<br />
started by Donnell to<br />
address the problem<br />
suggested otherwise.<br />
The petition was presented<br />
to the Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community<br />
Board this week, which<br />
asked the city council<br />
to install crime prevention<br />
cameras in problem<br />
areas.<br />
The hotspots included the<br />
Parklands Reserve, Parklands<br />
Grant<br />
Donnell<br />
Community Centre and the Travis<br />
Wetlands walking trail car parks on<br />
Mairehau Rd.<br />
But police say there is no indication<br />
reported crime has increased in<br />
the Parklands area.<br />
Said Senior Sergeant Phil Newton:<br />
“We are aware of the concerns people<br />
have expressed on social media,<br />
but there is no evidence to suggest<br />
they’re more likely to experience<br />
crime in Parklands than they are in<br />
any other suburb. • Turn to page 5<br />

Popular book sale a haven for all<br />
AT NEARLY 90, Elizabeth<br />
Williams helps oversee the<br />
volunteers running the Big<br />
Bargain Book Sale at the Pioneer<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre this<br />
month.<br />
She is a member of the<br />
160-strong team – covering a<br />
range of ages and interests – collectively<br />
known as the Friends of<br />
Christchurch City Libraries.<br />
Each year, up to 40 friends<br />
from “across the generations”<br />
unpack, display and help sell<br />
thousands of books and magazines<br />
that have been withdrawn<br />
from library collections.<br />
After 30 years, the oldest<br />
and newest life member of the<br />
Friends has opted to leave the<br />
book sale to the younger volunteers.<br />
Member Barbara Clarke said<br />
that the group is involved in<br />
many areas of library life but is<br />
always looking for new members.<br />
“We have such a range of<br />
people involved, including those<br />
who help out with our popular<br />
book sale, which attracts thousands<br />
of people every year,” said<br />
Clarke, a former librarian.<br />
“The first book sale organised<br />
by the group was held at the<br />
(now demolished) King Edward<br />
Barracks in the central city in<br />
1989.<br />
“Today, we have about 6000<br />
TEAMWORK: At nearly 90, Elizabeth Williams (centre) helps oversee volunteers at the Big<br />
Bargain Book Sale.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE <br />
people browsing the annual<br />
Big Bargain Book Sale items<br />
over two days at the Pioneer<br />
Centre.”<br />
She pins the ongoing success<br />
of the sale on “everyone’s love of<br />
a bargain and the opportunity to<br />
purchase ex-library stock at very<br />
reasonable prices.”<br />
“Bargain hunters can purchase<br />
for their specialist interest areas;<br />
gather books and magazines for<br />
the bach; select children’s picture<br />
books, easy and longer reads and<br />
interesting non-fiction; and also<br />
choose from large print, graphic<br />
novels and a huge assortment of<br />
novels and non-fiction.”<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said that the Friends<br />
of the Library is an “invaluable<br />
resource.”<br />
“The volunteers really drive<br />
the book sale, ensuring everything<br />
is well set out and that the<br />
sale days go amazingly well,” she<br />
said.<br />
“They constantly replenish the<br />
stock throughout both days so<br />
it does not matter when anyone<br />
arrives, there are always more<br />
bargains on the tables.’’<br />
Set up in 1988, the Friends<br />
provide a monthly programme<br />
of book talks with local authors,<br />
and raises funds for a range of<br />
items, such as chairs for older<br />
people, art, digital cameras,<br />
wheelchairs and special book<br />
trolleys.<br />
This year’s sale will take place<br />
at Pioneer Stadium tomorrow<br />
from 9am to 7pm and on<br />
Saturday, from 9am to 4pm.<br />
Pupils<br />
rewarded for<br />
summertime<br />
reading<br />
TAKING PART in the city<br />
council libraries’ annual<br />
Summertime Reading challenge<br />
paid off for a number of pupils<br />
across the city, including at<br />
Bromley School.<br />
Participating Bromley pupils all<br />
received book packs from Wheelers<br />
Books – a school library<br />
supplier – for the challenge which<br />
celebrates the joy of reading,<br />
encouraging people of all ages to<br />
simply pick up a book and read<br />
over the summer holidays.<br />
It also paid off for 279 Redwood<br />
Primary School pupils,<br />
who each received a Cookie Time<br />
treat for their efforts last week.<br />
Said Sandra Matai, the school’s<br />
librarian: “They’re [the pupils] are<br />
quite excited, every single student<br />
got one, including a gift basket for<br />
staff. It’s great that it was schoolwide.”<br />
The challenge took place from<br />
the beginning of December last<br />
year to the end of February.<br />
Children under 13-years-old<br />
were encouraged to read at least<br />
three books and describe what<br />
they thought about each book<br />
using three adjectives.<br />

‘Police need to open their eyes and listen to the community’<br />
• From page 1<br />
“In terms of what is being<br />
reported, it is the same kind of<br />
volume crimes you would expect<br />
in any metro suburb. Statistically<br />
speaking, it is a safe community<br />
to live in.”<br />
Newton said reported victimisation<br />
was down in the area over<br />
the past three years, compared to<br />
the three years prior.<br />
“This could be for one or two<br />
reasons – either crime is on the<br />
decrease, or people aren’t reporting<br />
crime,” Newton said.<br />
However, Donnell begged to<br />
differ.<br />
He said police would not have<br />
stepped up their presence in<br />
the area recently if there was<br />
nothing to suggest the issue had<br />
worsened.<br />
In the last three weeks, he said<br />
Parklands went from not seeing<br />
any police to sometimes observing<br />
“15 cop cars a day,” which has<br />
led to fewer incidents and “made<br />
people feel safer.”<br />
Incidents allegedly included<br />
assault with knives, theft, car<br />
break-ins and selling drugs<br />
primarily involving 10, 12 and<br />
sometimes <strong>18</strong>-year-olds, but<br />
Donnell did not rule out older<br />
offenders.<br />
“If the cops don’t think there’s<br />
a problem, then they need to<br />
open their eyes and listen to the<br />
community,” said the Parklands<br />
resident.<br />
“There wouldn’t be an outcry<br />
if there was nothing going on in<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do<br />

safe community to live in?<br />

gooding@starmedia.kiwi<br />
the community. The community<br />
wouldn’t be organising a meeting<br />
with more than 150 people if<br />
there wasn’t a problem.”<br />
A meeting is scheduled for next<br />
month where residents, schools,<br />
community groups, business<br />
owners, city council staff and<br />
police are expected to attend.<br />
Coastal Ward councillor James<br />
Daniels shared the community’s<br />
concerns having been through it<br />
himself.<br />
“I’ve been burgled, I’ve had<br />
my car broken into at the Fresh<br />
Choice car park and a lot of stuff<br />
was taken. It’s unacceptable and<br />
something needs to be done<br />
about it,” said Daniels.<br />
But he agreed with police that<br />
the issues were not exclusive to<br />
Parklands.<br />
“It’s not the only place where<br />
this happens. But it’s a perception<br />
thing, [the offending] is in your<br />
face because it’s in our place.”<br />
Newton said Local Youth Aid<br />
and Community officers are<br />
engaging youth in the area who<br />
were alleged to have committed<br />
an offence and future community<br />
engagement was anticipated.<br />
In the meantime, there were<br />
many simple messages the public<br />
could do to help prevent themselves<br />
from becoming a victim of<br />
crime.<br />
“A message we would like to<br />
emphasise to the community is<br />
to please ensure your vehicle is<br />
locked and expensive items are<br />
not left in your car, or outside<br />
your property, in plain sight,”<br />
said Newton.<br />
“Police would like to remind<br />
anyone who witnesses any<br />
suspicious activity to report it<br />
and remember the rules – if<br />
it’s happening now call 111<br />
or if it’s historic, dial 105 or<br />
Crimestoppers anonymously on<br />
0800 555 111.”<br />
•The community meeting<br />
will be held on April 8 from<br />
7pm at the Pūkeko Centre,<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />
Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />
could it be mainly my muscles?<br />
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham<br />
sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />
many of their middle-aged and senior clients<br />
visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />
that a major part of the pain could be due<br />
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />
for the pain may be the muscles around<br />
the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />
blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />
near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />
(especially at night in bed).<br />
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />
old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />
through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />
was walking with her stick but without the<br />
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />
one of the factors that made her muscles<br />
spasm but the other was that older people<br />
move less and the flexed position the hip<br />
is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />
although the client was 89 and could have<br />
been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />
pain, she made a difference to her health<br />
and wellbeing.<br />
The same lack of movement can be the<br />
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />
pain and the same few treatments could<br />
make a huge difference for you.<br />
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />
techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />
The client also gets a home exercise<br />
program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />
the joint, strengthen the important core<br />
muscles and increase general strength and<br />
SHOULDER<br />
PAIN<br />
KNEE PAIN<br />
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />
balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />
that stretches the joint in all directions<br />
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />
In many cases having the muscles<br />
released and being taught how to maintain<br />
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />
HIP PAIN<br />
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />
some maintenance therapy may be<br />
necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />
and, for older patients, better tolerated<br />
than surgery. After only one treatment you<br />
should know that it will work for you. Call<br />
and only pay $50 on that treament.<br />
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the<br />
door and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

Genealogy a passion and an addiction<br />

“IF YOU figure there are 25<br />

For Fiona Lees, getting to the<br />

Just like the women who established<br />

convener has been hungry to<br />

The first generation mainlander<br />

started feeding her passion for<br />

with her grandmother led<br />
to more questions than answers.<br />
She started to connect the<br />
dots in her little notebook full<br />
of important dates to determine<br />
“whose brother was who,” later<br />
growing into a passion to help<br />
others trace their roots.<br />
“I’ve managed to prove that<br />
one [family] line was an adopted<br />
line through records and oldstyle<br />
sleuthing,” said Lees who<br />
described her most rewarding<br />
discoveries.<br />
“I’ve also managed to prove<br />
that my family was shipwrecked<br />
in <strong>18</strong>62 off the Isle of Wight in<br />
the United Kingdom. The Times<br />
in London gave my ancestors’<br />
names.<br />
“It’s a passion and addiction –<br />
once you’ve been bitten, that’s it.”<br />
The society, based in Auckland,<br />
has promoted the study<br />
of family history and genealogies<br />
since 1967, providing the<br />
necessary tools and expertise<br />
for others to make their own<br />
discoveries.<br />

passion for<br />

friends had a shared curiosity<br />
about their ancestors and eventually<br />
started a group.<br />
More than 50 years later, it<br />
morphed into a national society<br />
and has since grown into more<br />
than 60 regional branches across<br />
the country.<br />
Established in 1968, that makes<br />
the Canterbury regional branch<br />
the oldest in New Zealand.<br />
Lees was appointed the Canterbury<br />
convener in July last year<br />
and has been on the committee<br />
for more than 10 years. But her<br />
involvement spans back to the<br />
1980s.<br />
Retiring last year, she worked<br />
for the city council for 35 years<br />
as a technical application specialist<br />
helping internal staff with<br />
their computers.<br />
As the convener, she puts<br />
together monthly newsletters,<br />
deals with memberships and<br />
transcribes school records for<br />
future genealogists as it was an<br />
“underused” record in NZ.<br />
“In Britain, there are census<br />
records with raw data being kept<br />
where you can track your family<br />
every 10 years,” she said.<br />
“But in NZ, governments saw<br />
fit not to keep that raw data and<br />
only had summaries on how<br />
many people lived in suburbs.<br />
School records tell you where<br />
you’ve come from, who your<br />
guardians are, your age, and<br />
where you’re going to next –<br />
you can track a family through<br />
there.”<br />
Based at the Parklands Community<br />
Centre, the society had<br />
many resources on hand including<br />
a branch library, computers,<br />
paper records, parish registers<br />
and monumental inscriptions.<br />
People can become members<br />
and connect with other family<br />
history enthusiasts nationwide to<br />
share tips and tricks on research<br />
methods.<br />
“We encourage people who<br />
come to the library to have the<br />
basics about yourself, your parents<br />
and grandparents, it’s good<br />
to have a skeleton tree. Otherwise<br />
by the time they’ve talked<br />
for five minutes you’ve lost all<br />
the information,” Lees said.<br />

PEGASUS POST Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Thursday <strong>March</strong> <strong>18</strong> <strong>2021</strong> 7<br />
for hungry-to-learn Fiona<br />
NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER<br />
TO THE NZ JET BOATING<br />
COMMUNITY FOR OVER<br />
50 YEARS<br />
“We have people rock up and<br />
say: ‘I want to learn more about<br />
my family, I think they came<br />
from Denmark.’ So people<br />
who are interested in searching<br />
that area have a meeting, share<br />
ideas and tips on how or where<br />
to find things.”<br />
The process was not always<br />
simple seeing as 80 per cent<br />
of information could not be<br />
found online, but having the<br />
internet nonetheless definitely<br />
made things easier.<br />
“We used to have to go and<br />
write letters, visit places to get<br />
information but now you’ve<br />
got lots of information online,”<br />
she said.<br />
But most genealogists were<br />
not interested in just a list of<br />
facts – the importance of social<br />
history built a much better picture<br />
of how that person lived.<br />
Putting the facts together<br />
and shaping it into a story<br />
“makes it far more fun.”<br />
“It’s always nice to put your<br />
person in a place with what<br />
else was happening in the<br />
world at that time. A list of<br />
facts is a bit boring,” she said.<br />
“Most of the real genealogists<br />
aren’t just interested in<br />
names and the date of birth,<br />
marriage and death. They<br />
actually want to learn more<br />
about people, what they did,<br />
where they lived and why they<br />
shifted countries.”<br />
Over the years, the branch<br />
has seen a rise in people wanting<br />
to know more about where<br />
they came from through the<br />
avenue of DNA testing.<br />
“We’re also finding people<br />
are related to each other within<br />
the branch through DNA<br />
which is fun,” she said.<br />
But DNA testing did not<br />
always have the most desirable<br />
results.<br />
Although people could trace<br />
their ethnicity or find birth<br />
families if they were adopted,<br />
finding out they were not<br />
related to someone was “devastating.”<br />
“There are brick walls that<br />
will never be solved,” Lees<br />
said.<br />
“But for some people, the<br />
downside with DNA is showing<br />
that who you thought was<br />
your father, actually wasn’t.<br />
That has been really devastating.”<br />
Lees shares her addiction of<br />
family history with her husband,<br />
David, throughout 40<br />
years of marriage.<br />
The mutual understanding<br />
meant date nights were a little<br />
more interesting in odd places<br />
like cemeteries and libraries.<br />
For Lees, that passion was<br />
wanting to know more about<br />
where she came from and what<br />
influences made her the person<br />
she is today,<br />
But knowing your roots can<br />
also be essential to one’s own<br />
survival.<br />
“For some, it might even be<br />
a health component. Heart<br />
attacks, strokes or Alzheimer’s<br />
might run in the family.<br />
Looking at what people died<br />
of might be a push for some<br />
people.”<br />

performances, Shirley finished the three-day<br />
tournament fifth overall, with Lincoln coming in<br />
seventh during the Canterbury senior secondary<br />
school indoor volleyball championships held at<br />
Pioneer Recreation & Sport Centre and Cowles<br />
Stadium. Twenty boys and 29 girls teams from<br />
secondary schools around Canterbury entered the<br />
tournament, aimed at year 11-13 players. The event<br />
provided a good warm-up for the winning teams<br />
going on to compete at the national championships<br />
in Palmerston North later this month.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
The facts about home ventilation<br />
Balanced Pressure<br />
vs Positive Pressure<br />
Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />
all buildings, including residential, need<br />
to be suitably ventilated, either with<br />
opening windows or forced ventilation.<br />
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this<br />
provision is to safeguard people from<br />
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of<br />
fresh air.” There are many benefits to<br />
forced, or mechanical, ventilation over<br />
opening windows, including warmth,<br />
security, reduction of outside noises and<br />
reduction of condensation.<br />
Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in<br />
from outside via the roof space and force<br />
the stale air out through gaps around<br />
windows and doors. The incoming air<br />
from these systems<br />
has to be heated<br />
or cooled to keep<br />
the house warm in<br />
winter or cool in<br />
summer.<br />
The Smooth-<br />
Air HEX390 is a<br />
‘balanced pressure’<br />
system. It extracts<br />
air from the house<br />
and at the same<br />
time brings in<br />
fresh air. These<br />
two streams of air<br />
pass through a heat<br />
exchanger, which<br />
warms incoming air in winter and cools in<br />
summer if air conditioning is being used.<br />
This means that up to 80% of the energy<br />
which would be wasted using a traditional<br />
positive pressure system is recovered,<br />
resulting in significant energy savings and<br />
therefore lower heating or cooling costs.<br />
Until recently, balanced pressure<br />
ventilation systems have been considerably<br />
more expensive than traditional positive<br />
pressure systems. However, with Smooth-<br />
Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a<br />
HEX390 balanced pressure system can be<br />
installed for a similar price as a traditional<br />
positive pressure system.<br />

to ventilate your home<br />
HEX 390<br />
For Healthy Indoor Air<br />
Heat is transferred to the<br />
incoming filtered fresh air<br />
&<br />
With the ever changing weather patterns,<br />
heat pumps have the flexibility of being able<br />
to heat and cool which is an advantage no<br />
other appliance can offer. This represents<br />
great value for your investment as you can<br />
use it all year round. The team at Enviro<br />
Master Ltd can help keep you cool this<br />
Summer either at home or work. Enviro<br />
Master supplies, installs and services all the<br />
leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team<br />
can show you which system and brand will<br />
best suit your needs.<br />
With new regulations coming in for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals, now<br />
is a great time to beat the 1st of July deadline.<br />
Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead<br />
to mould growth and dampness in your<br />
property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />
and an unhealthy living environment.<br />
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />
output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />
area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />
experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />
software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />
requirements.<br />
It is important to remember, when<br />
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />
warranty does not cover the installation<br />
and consumers could be responsible for any<br />
repair or damage caused to the system due<br />
to poor installation. Enviro Master’s ensures<br />
correct installation, and a demonstration so<br />
customers have an understanding on how it<br />
will best meet their needs.<br />

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
rates increase over 10 years.<br />
Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />
the current environment it’s<br />
clear business as usual is not<br />
appropriate and the council<br />
needs to look at how we enable<br />

the economic confidence of our<br />

“The Annual Plan is not cha lenges that lie ahead.” she said.<br />

Manukura Kōrero<br />
Whāia e koe te iti kahurangi. Ki te tuohu me he maunga teitei<br />
Seek the treasures of your heart. If you bow, let it be to a lofty mountain<br />
This week we have been asking ourselves, “What does a great tātāriki/<br />
leader look like?” An answer to that question can be found in American<br />
civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. On August 28, 1963 King led<br />
a <strong>March</strong> on Washington, demanding civil and economic rights, jobs and<br />
freedom for Black Americans. His speech called for an end to racism in the<br />
United States. There are always going to be leaders who stand up for what<br />
is right and just.<br />
We want Haeata ākonga to be those kinds of leaders. Hautūtanga/leadership<br />
is first and foremost about service. It requires an individual to be<br />
selfless. It requires real humility, but most importantly it requires courage.<br />
Every ākonga at Haeata is expected to show leadership. A Haeata leader is<br />
bold and resolute, forward thinking, an individual who is unflinching, unwavering<br />
and focussed on the task at hand. A person who lives and breathes<br />
our values and dispositions. Who knows the importance of service before<br />
self!<br />
As leaders we do not always have to be the loudest, or to be standing at<br />
the front. We do not have to be controlling<br />
- that is not true leadership. Leadership is<br />
humility, kindness, patience, courage and<br />
compromise. A true Haeata leader is a<br />
fearless person who sets clear, achievable<br />
goals and systematically achieves them. A<br />
true Haeata leader models angitu/success.<br />
As Manukura/Principal of Haeata I have a<br />
real sense of pride in our āknoga.<br />
They are leaders and they will change and<br />
shape the future. They will make this world<br />
a kinder, safer place.<br />
Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui!<br />

KAMAR Portal<br />
The Haeata Kamar Portal is now open!<br />
This handy app is a great way for you to engage with your<br />
children’s attendance across the school, and learning in<br />
the senior school (yr 9-13).<br />
Contact your ākonga’s Puna Ako teacher to find your log<br />
in, or call reception for extra support in setting this up.<br />
Haeata Tikanga<br />
One of our Raukura (Assistant Principal), Jess Kakoi, has been<br />
hard at work over the last year developing our School Tikanga<br />
alongside a team of kaimahi.<br />
He Korowai Manaaki is the Haeata Community Campus purpose<br />
built positive behaviour management system. This includes how<br />
our ākonga manage themselves and how kaimahi support all<br />
ākonga to be safe at school.<br />
The Tikanga in the attached photo were developed in consultation<br />
with ākonga, kaimahi and whānau, and reflect a Te Ao Māori<br />
world view, giving clear guidelines to what is expected.<br />
We have been so lucky at Haeata to have kaimahi the calibre of Jess Kakoi who can design<br />
and develop something like He Korowai Manaaki!<br />

NCEA Whānau Hui<br />
On Wednesday we had a lovely evening for our yr 11-13 ākonga and their whānau to meet with<br />
our kaiako and discuss their NCEA achievement for <strong>2021</strong> and beyond.<br />
This evening was about encouraging our ākonga and whānau to celebrate where they have come<br />
from and where they are going. The atmosphere was positive and mana enhancing, and all of our<br />
kaimahi and ākonga left with greater clarity about what they are achieving in<br />
<strong>2021</strong>.<br />
The Year 7 - 10 Whānau hui is on the 24 <strong>March</strong> 4 - 7 pm in Te Tai O Mahaanui<br />
(the main building)<br />
