Army Reserve Force Lance Corporal Christopher Nolan, of
Avonhead, was one of 60 soldiers who took part in a training
exercise on the West Coast. His section was involved in Exercise
Kalami in dense forest near Maruia. Their task was to follow a
defined path through the bush while under attack. But the
decaying undergrowth and limited visibility challenged them all
as they patrolled the area with their weapons and packs while the
enemy confronted them at every turn. PHOTOS: JOHN COSGROVE

War games prepare soldier for battle Board
requests
briefing
over vape
store rise
• By Emily Moorhouse
FRUSTRATION from residents
about vape stores opening in
Addington has prompted the
area’s community board to
investigate vaping restrictions.
The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere
Community Board has
requested a briefing on vaping
restrictions through smokefree
legislation.
Board member Callum Ward
was approached by resident Jo
Robertson, who is concerned
about the concentration of vape
stores in a small area like Addington.
Ward said the board hasn’t
formed a position on the issue yet
and is awaiting a briefing.
“We know that vaping does
have negative health consequences
and is no longer just a replacement
for smokers,” he said.
Ward also mentioned the risk
of vaping undoing a lot of work
that’s being done in society to
prevent people from getting
addicted to nicotine, particularly
young people who go straight to
vaping.
Robertson, who is school community
liaison at Addington
School, said vaping is being
discussed among residents due to
an increase in vaping shops set to
open in the area.

Call to curb increase in vape stores
• From page 1
She said there was already
two vape shops in Addington
and another one was going to be
opening soon, as well as dairys
selling vapes.
“It’s probably to do with the
proportion of kinds of shops
that are in the community,”
Robertson said.
“If you end up with a lot of
liquor stores, vape stores, it
just tips the balance of stores
that are bringing positive
health-promoting things into
the community to stores that
are bringing kind of healthconstraining
things.”
Robertson said she wants the
city council to talk about putting
regulations in place rather than
“just letting the market
decide”.
“I think the community
would like to see things that are
bringing health and well-being
into our community,” she said.
The manager of Hoopers
Vapour in Addington, who
declined to be named, said he
had noticed a few different vape
shops in the area, something his
customers said wasn’t necessary.
The business has been
operating for roughly five
years and hasn’t received any
complaints from residents.
“I believe we are serving people
who want to quit smoking,” he
said. “What most non-smokers
or non-vapers don’t realise is
that people addicted to nicotine
become aggravated when they
can’t have it. It’s like having a
morning coffee.”
He said the business has
helped people quit smoking and
as the price of tobacco increases,
it was important to provide
an alternative.

• By Emily Moorhouse
CONCERNS FOR safety and
complaints about noise from
unauthorised motorbikes have
prompted 20 “no motorbikes”
signs to be put up around the
red zone.
Ashley Campbell regularly
walks her two little dogs around
the Avonside area and said some
people were using the area as
an off-road dirt track for their
motorbikes.
“It’s an accident waiting to
happen,” she said. “It’s becoming
more of a problem.”
Campbell reached out to the
city council’s red zone team to
see what could be done and was
pleased to hear signs will be
installed.
Red zone manager Dave Little
said riding motorbikes within
parks is prohibited under a
bylaw.
“We have recently experienced
an uptick in this behaviour and so
are increasing signage to remind
people that this activity is not
permitted,” he said.

‘You can change things for the better
• By Emily Moorhouse
HELPING stranded whales and
preserving endangered plants
might seem pretty out there for
some, but for park ranger Dave
Rate-Smith this is just another
day in the office.
The 43-year-old is trained in
horticulture, construction and
fine arts, and said being a park
ranger lets him use all these
skills.
“You could be answering
emails, then fixing a broken
waterline or making park furniture,”
he said. “I’m prone to
getting bored easily and being a
ranger I don’t get bored.”
Before Rate-Smith became a
ranger four years ago, he owned
a construction business, after
seeing the need for it following
the earthquakes.
After seven years he closed the
business and joined ecological
firm Wai-ora, working his way
up to team leader in two years
before jumping at the opportunity
to become a ranger for
Bottle Lake Forest Park.
Now Rate-Smith looks after
multiple parks including Styx
Mill, The Groynes, McLeans
Island and Roto Kohatu.
He said the job changes everyday
and you have to be prepared
to “throw your plans out the
window at any given second.”
Rate-Smith especially likes
Sundays because that’s when he
can talk to the public the most.
DREAM JOB: Dave Rate-Smith has been a park ranger for four years and said he gets
excited about going to work.

“It’s when you actually do that
you become aware of problems
you might have missed,” he
said. “I really like seeing their
reactions when we change and
improve an area.”
The responsibilities of a ranger
seem endless. The job requires
problem-solving skills, having
to be a trained firefighter, and
handling animals such as whales
and sea lions.
“We end up with a good range
of skills but not being specialists
in any of them, which suits me to
a tee,” Rate-Smith said.
Describing himself as an outdoors
person, Rate-Smith said
being out in nature is definitely
one of the highlights of the job.
“It’s what calms me as a person,
that’s my happy place in life,
hearing the fantails twittering
away,” he said. “That really sort

being outdoors is one of

of puts a smile on my face.
“There’s times I think I’d love
to go off and work for DOC in
the middle of nowhere but aside
from my wife not appreciating it,
I would actually miss the social
side of it.”
“It’s not a day in parks
until you pick up a pair of
undies”
– Dave Rate-Smith
When asked what the strangest
thing he’s come across at one of
the parks he laughed and said
“those would not be appropriate
for paper”.
“We see some shocking things
aye, we see the best and the worst
of human nature,” he said.
“People go to parks to do weird
things, they really do. It’s not a
day in parks until you pick up a
pair of undies.”

Teen bound for
maths Olympiad
CREATIVE: : Rate-Smith built this seat in collaboration with a local carver and weaver for
one of the parks, and made a fairy house in his spare time for the children’s fairy forest in
Bottle Lake Forest Park.
When he was tasked with
replacing picnic tables at The
Groynes, Rate-Smith said he
“wasn’t impressed” with the
cost so took it upon himself to
design his own tables and get
an engineer to build and install
them. This roughly halved the
cost of ordering tables in.
It’s things like this that
make Rate-Smith get up in
the morning feeling excited
to go to work, something he
feels incredibly fortunate to
experience.
While Rate-Smith loves his
job, he said there are some
aspects that he really struggles
with, particularly seeing people
damage the parks.
“We do all of this work and
there’s always an element to
society that seem to congregate
in parks that want to destroy
stuff,” he said.
“You put everything you can
into it and you do believe in what
you’re doing, and it might only
last a week before somebody’s
destroyed it.”
He said the rangers had seen
an increase in people doing
burn-outs at The Groynes,
ripping the paddocks to pieces,
and wondered if this was due to
frustrations with Covid.
This time of year tends to
be the quietest for the rangers
and they spend it planning and
planting as well as taking in new
volunteers to help out around
the parks.
Outside of work, Rate-Smith
enjoys pottering in his garage,
gardening and painting, and
is even learning how to tattoo,
using his legs as a drawing board
for his “doodles”.
One of his favourite parts of
the job is seeing changes such
as rare birds coming back to
an area or catching glimpses of
waterways improving through
the work the rangers do.
“We could well be leaving
something for people hundreds
of years from now,” he said.
“You can change things for
the better so easily; you get to do
something good everyday.”

BURNSIDE HIGH School
student Grady Kenix has been
selected as a member of the New
Zealand Mathematics Olympiad
team.
The 17-year-old is in his final
year at school and is one of just
six students selected, and the only
one outside of Auckland.
He will compete at the 63rd
International Mathematical Olympiad
in Norway in July, which
is expected to draw teams from
more than 100 countries.
Ironically, Grady elected to
drop maths after Year 11, but
has continued to have a strong
interest in the subject outside of
the formal classroom setting.
His interest in maths started at
primary school in Lyttelton, he
said.
“We had a really good teacher
called Jeremy and he was the one
who stirred up my interest and fascination
for the subject and started
the maths journey for me.’’
Grady’s quest to be part of
the New Zealand Mathematics
Olympiad team started over 10
months ago, alongside hundreds
of other hopefuls.
Over those months and after
many hours of tuition, training
camps and competitions, entry
numbers were steadily whittled
down to the final elite students.
Grady was given his selection
news recently and is modest
about his achievements.
“I’m happy to have been chosen
after a long selection process and
a lot of work, and I am looking
forward to testing my maths
skills against other students
from around the world,” he
said.
He receives $2000 towards the
costs of attending the olympiad
and will use earnings from his
waiter job at Lyttelton’s Nomnom
Kitchen to help fund the trip.
His travels will include a
stopover in his birth-land of
the USA, which he left at ninemonths-old
to come to New
Zealand.

Energy drinks out, vege garden in
• Kim Thomas
PEER SUPPORT worker
Matiu Taitoko decided he
had reached the age where he
needed to give up the energy
drinks and take better care of
himself.
The 55-year-old took part
in Pegasus Health’s new
healthy lifestyle and cooking
programme, Puāwai-Kai.
Since completing the course,
he has felt healthier and is
sleeping better. He has also
gone back to working in the
garden and growing greens for
him and his whānau.
“I’m at that stage in my life
where we have to think about
what we eat and how we eat
it to last a little bit longer and
feel healthy about ourselves,”
Taitoko said.
“We (Puāwai-Kai course
participants) had no idea
what we were in for, but it was
good learning, you know, and
learning about sleeping as well
and the right food and when to
eat that and drinking. Oh, it’s
been fabulous.”
Taitoko was referred to the
free, eight-session Puāwai-Kai
course by his GP. It gives
participants information
on developing a healthier
relationship with food,
cooking and trying meals
with cost-effective seasonal
ingredients. It also covers the
importance of sleep, exercise
and stress management skills.
GOOD CHOICE: Matiu Taitoko is now growing greens
for him and his whānau after participating in the
Puāwai-Kai course.
He says he has continued
with the good habits he learnt
on the course.
“I’ve actually been patting
myself on the back for some of
the things I’ve been taught and
carried on with it. Drinking
the old soft drinks, you know,
not much of that these days
and been drinking a lot of
water. It’s unreal. I’ve never
slept like I have done since
[doing Puāwai-Kai]. It’s been
well worth it for me and my
family.”
Taitoko was a participant in
the pilot Puāwai-Kai courses,
which Pegasus Health ran
with a range of Cantabrians
to ensure it provided the right
mix of skills and information.
University of Otago,
Christchurch, researcher Dr
Allamanda Faatoese studied
the course’s impact on Pasifika
participants. She recorded
changes in blood pressure,
cholesterol profile, blood
sugar, weight and body
fat.
Faatoese said early analysis
of data showed all participants
dropped body fat and had
lower triglyceride levels.
High triglycerides are often
a sign of other conditions
that increase the risk of heart
disease and stroke.
Pegasus Health chief
executive Mark Liddle said
Puāwai-Kai helps people learn
how small changes in the way
they live can add up to big
changes in their health and
well-being.
A big change for Taitoko has
been growing his own food.
“Being Māori, it’s been
getting back to the garden
and learning about that again.
Because we have been distant.
We come into the city and
found the easy food, the fast
food to get by. But is it the
healthiest food? I don’t think
so.
“So it’s going back to the
garden again and growing
those veges. I’m quite lucky
because my whole family is
starting to get into well-being.
We bring different foods to the
table now.”
Saving those
precious photos
A passion for properly preserving precious
family photos has been a business for Gail
Ruddle since 2004. She became a distributor
for Creative Memories in 2015, and based
in Christchurch she is one of only three
distributors in New Zealand. An avid
scrapbooker, Gail loves helping people to
preserve their photos and memories.
Founded in the United States in 1987,
Creative Memories is widely known for
leading the scrapbooking industry with
world-class products. Today’s Creative
Memories was re-launched in 2014
under new ownership, but with the same
exceptional quality and modern design.
So, where are your precious photos?
Answer: they are everywhere. In your
phone, on your tablet. You may have a
point-n-shoot camera or a DSLR. You can’t
escape the selfies, Instagram, Pinterest, and
Facebook. And today, people are taking more
photos than ever before. It’s been estimated
that in the past five years, more photos have
been taken than all the prior years combined.
Sadly, few of these photographs will survive
beyond a year. As Gail notes, the reason most
photographs being taken today will soon be
totally gone is that digital images are not seen
as important enough to be kept in printed
form.
Also, technology has changed so fast, that
many photographs taken six or seven years
ago are stored on media that is no longer
supported, such as floppy discs. In a few years,
DVDs will likely be obsolete as will USB drives.
So, to preserve those precious photos, they
need to be printed out and kept safe.
Avid scrapbooker Gail Ruddle looks
forward to hosting her Creative Memories
Open Home and welcomes anyone
interested in the hobby to attend.
During these unexpected COVID times,
Gail says, more people have been turning to
scrapbooking to reinvigorate a hobby and
celebrate the good times recorded in photos,
from recent times, or dating back decades.
Gail’s vision for this year is to get the
message out that Creative Memories is still
trading. She holds monthly scrapbooking
workshops, during the week, evenings and on
a Saturday, as well as a digital evening, where
she is available to educate and provide handson
assistance. She can also provide one-onone
assistance in your home or hers.
If you would like to know more about
Creative Memories, or re-connect with the
hobby, Gail is having an Open Home on
Saturday, May 21, 10am to 2pm.
Products will be available for purchase
and to order. Check out the website
www.creativememories.com. Gail has access
to all products, with orders taking around
three weeks to arrive.

remind drivers. Until then, the existing speed limits will apply.
