OPPOSITION TO the planned removal of car parks in Woolston is gathering momentum with a petition against the move being signed by 771 people.

The city council’s proposed Woolston Village Upgrade Plan would see the number of car parks on Ferry Rd reduced from 77 to 21, with motorists encouraged to park on side streets instead.

The $1.6 million plan is intended to revitalise the area, with other components including a 30km/h speed limit, new tree plantings and raised median strips.

The city council has received 165 submissions on the plan.

Woolston Main Street Business Association acting chairman Stephen Hardman said businesses were overwhelmingly against removing the car parks.

“Many of the businesses in the street rely upon their customers being able to park at the roadside, nip in and get back in their car and leave,” he said.

“If they were to reduce according to the numbers they are proposing it will mean that several businesses will close, no doubt about it.”

He said a city council survey showing that there was not great demand for parking was skewed because it was not conducted during

the busiest times of the day.Signatures on the petition were

collected from shoppers in the area over a two-week period.

In her submission on the plan, Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson (left) said it would not deliver on its aim of encouraging and retaining businesses in the area.

“In my view, taking a significant number of car parks out of the area will simply mean that people will shop somewhere

else,” she said.“They will just drive

further down the road where they can stop outside the shop of their choice.”

National MP Nuk Korako (left) said that he thought the plan,

including car park changes, was a positive move to make the area more attractive for shoppers and the criticism was shortsighted.

“The way it is planned at the moment, motorists just pass through it,” Mr Korako said.

IT IS a sad fact that bullying is not only prevalent in schools, but in many other facets of life. Vicki Edwards-Brown is the driving force behind Be The Change, an anti-bullying programme that started after she saw a lack of empathy for those subjected to schoolyard harassment. The actress and singer talks about not only the programme but her stint on Shortland Street on page 8.

On page 6, reporter Donna Miles talks to the Canterbury Muslim Community Trust. Though they do not suffer the same levels of “islamophobia” compared to the rest of the world, there is still a way to go in under-standing the different cultures of the 40 ethnic groups that represent the Muslim community in the city.

HAGLEY-Ferrymead Community Board deputy chairwoman Islay McLeod has resigned because she is moving back to Dunedin.

Ms McLeod was critical of the performance of her board which she said suffered from a lack of local government experience.

Her departure will not trigger a by-election this close to elections in October and Ms McLeod said she had checked to make sure this was the case before resign-ing.

“A lot of people in good faith voted for me and I would be letting them down if I cost the ratepayers anything or if there was anything significant coming up,” she said.

“There are not a lot of major issues coming up. The Annual Plan is all sorted, the Replace-ment District Plan is pretty well sorted.”

Asked if her second term on the board had been a good experience, Ms McLeod said “not particularly.”

“My first term was good because there were good steady hands with very experienced and practised people like Bob Todd,

who was the chair, and David Cox,” she said.

“In this latest term, out of the seven of us, four had no local government experience at all.”

She said at times the board had not been proactive enough when it came to taking a stand on local issues, such as the date for build-ing a Linwood-Woolston pool continually being delayed.

“Just putting in a submission like everybody else isn’t the way,” she said.

“I think the board could have and should have had a more powerful and vocal say on what is happening in our ward.”

Board chairwoman Sara Tem-pleton said she didn’t think that a lack of experience was evident on the board.

“I think this board has actually been incredibly passionate and vocal about a range of different issues and has taken it to council on many occasions and pushed for things.”

Ms McLeod will also step down from the Christchurch West Melton Zone Committee.

She moved to Christchurch 12 years ago to be close to her moth-er who had health problems. Her mother passed away at the end of last year.

VOLUNTEER LIBRARYAn accessible ramp has been installed at the Woolston Volunteer Library’s temporary premises. The ramp was installed by Naylor Love Construction, which contributed labour and materials in conjunction with Carters building supplies. The library is housed in a relocatable shepherd’s hut built by Ara Institute of Canterbury students at the Woolston Transitional Project site on Ferry Rd. Tree planters and artworks decorated by local school children, bench seating, a noticeboard, bike rack and a new portaloo have also been added to the area. The voluntary library service will be operating from its temporary building four days a week.

GRANT AWARDEDWaltham Out Of School Hours has been granted $2770 from the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board’s discretionary response fund to go towards camps for children and uniform replacement. City council staff had recommended that a grant of $2500 be made but the board decided to fund the full amount.

The Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board recently called for speed limits in streets in the area between Lincoln Rd, Brougham St, Selwyn St and Moorhouse Ave to be reduced to 30km/h. Addington Neighbourhood Association chairwoman Sarah McKenzie writes on the traffic and parking problems the area is experiencing.

SINCE THE earthquakes, Addington has become the place to be, from cafes and shops to office blocks and car yards, setting up a business and still being close to the CBD.

However, with more businesses moving in came the traffic issues.

Addington streets have had roads narrowed before the earth-quakes and now the streets can’t handle the amount of traffic that passes through daily.

The lack of parking for the business’ staff and customers has caused cars to spill out on to the narrow residential streets leaving no parking for locals or their visitors, particularly between business hours.

The street parking causes issues for the residents as well as the businesses, from poor

visibility due to dense parking to residents driveways being partially blocked by desperate drivers needing a space to park.

Church Square has become a bit of a thoroughfare from Brougham St to Selwyn St.

Residents have voiced concerns in the past about this, particu-larly around Church Square and changing the speed limit.

Ward St has become an issue for residents due to speed and a higher traffic volume.

Selwyn St between Moorhouse Ave and Brougham St is a big concern. The traffic has increased by a huge amount and it seems to be a main route for heavy vehi-cles. At peak times Selwyn St can be backed up from Moorhouse Ave to Ward St.

Selwyn St concerns me due to the young children walking to Addington School, Christchurch South Intermediate, Cashmere High School and Hagley Com-munity College. The Kidsfirst Kindergarten and Bishop Selwyn

Lifecare are also on Selwyn St and affected by the traffic.

There is no safe ambulance ac-cess into Bishop Selwyn Lifecare, especially in peak traffic in spite of efforts to have yellow ‘no stop-ping’ zone painted on Selwyn St by the facility’s entrance.

Selwyn St needs a 40km/h speed limit past Bishop Selwyn Lifecare and Kidsfirst Kinder-garten.

We also need speed restrictions around Church Square and the narrow streets of Addington.

Your Local ViewsTraffic and parking problems in Addington

Readers respond to a call from the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board that speed limits in some Addington streets should be dropped to 30km/h.

Richard Townshend, Sprey-don – In our street, Blakehall Place, people often drive over 70km/h. It’s too dangerous for small children, elders and cats. It’s also a narrow street and the limit should be 30km/h.

E. Scott, of Fendalton –I definitely do not want a

30km/h speed limit on some streets.

I can’t believe this is even being considered as the speed in most areas is governed by road works

right now.It is more dangerous trying to

watch my speedometer, taking my eye off the road, than doing the 50km/h limit – 30km/h is almost walking speed.

It angers me to think this is all for the pedestrians and cyclists. Why can they not take responsi-bility for their own actions?

I have just been on a 21-day cruise in Europe and everyone always wanted to know where we came from. My stock answer was “the city from hell, called Christchurch”. This absolutely endorses this.

J. Mortimer, Halswell –I would hate to see traffic drib-

bling along at 30km/h. The city council has already

solved the problem for cyclists in Tennyson St in Beckenham by putting the cycleways up off the road.

With all the massive road-works that have taken place over the last five years why weren’t the cycle lanes done at the same time? Another problem solved.

I thought when they dug up Halswell Junction Rd they would of done the same as on Tennyson St as it’s a very busy main road.

For every dumb idea the city council comes up with, ratepay-ers shouldn’t have to pay their rates.

PARTS OF the Heathcote River channel are being blocked off and pumped dry so a wastewater pipe can be installed underneath the riverbed.

On Wednesday, the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Team started work on installing the pipe, which will run from the intersection of Fairview St and Ashgrove Tce un-der the river to Cashmere Rd near the intersection with Valley Rd.

Workers are using a technique called sheet piling which involves creating a metal wall to block off half of the river channel at a time. The blocked off area is then pumped dry and the river is able to flow down the other half of the channel.

The work, which is taking place in a 100m stretch of riverbed either side of the Fairview St bridge, is expected to take 10 weeks to com-plete.

Starting in about three weeks, the Fairview St Bridge will be closed to vehicles for four weeks. Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use it.

SCIRT is expecting to undertake the same sort of work in the Avon River, between River Rd and Avon-side Drive, next month so that two large wastewater pipes can be laid in the riverbed.

In BriefBIN STOCKTAKEKerbside wheelie bins throughout the city will be fitted with radio frequency tags as part of a stocktake starting next month. The stocktake is designed to save $9.3 million on the cost of the bin collection service over the next 13 years by removing lost, damaged and stolen bins from circulation. Radio frequency tags to ensure bins that are damaged, stolen or found on other properties can be easily identified. They can then be checked and matched to the database, returned to their original property or reallocated for future distribution. Waste

Management will carry out the stocktake. The short range radio frequency chips will communicate with the collection truck as it goes past to ensure that the bin is located near the correct property. The stocktake will take approximately three years to complete.

DYERS RD DELAYSWastewater repairs in Dyers Rd, Bromley, starting this week are expected to take about 14 weeks. Two-way traffic will be maintained but there may be delays. The work is between Ruru Rd and Linwood Ave.

DOING THE HONOURS: Katie Wooster, 5, cut the ribbon at an official reopening ceremony for the Opawa Toy Library, held recently.Speeches, face painting, balloon twisting and a sausage sizzle were part of the ceremony which was held to celebrate the toy library’s move back into its Sandwich Rd premises in April. It had spent the previous five years operating from a series of temporary locations after the February 2011 earthquake damaged its building.

CLOSE TO 40 different ethnic groups represent the Muslim community in the city.

Community worker Dr Husaini Hafiz said that the city’s 3250 Muslims did not suffer from the same levels of Islamophobia experienced by Muslims in Europe and the United States, but racial and religious prejudices can exist everywhere.

Dr Hafiz said the Canter-bury Muslim Community Trust is building cultural and religious bridges by reaching out to the city’s Muslims and the wider non-Muslim com-munity.

“We would like to ensure that Christchurch remains a good place to live for all, which means taking steps to foster better understanding between different groups,” he said.

Dr Hafiz said many people assumed that the Muslim com-munity in Christchurch was homogenous with the same cultural practices and religious beliefs.

He said, in reality, the Mus-lim community in Christch-

urch was very diverse.The trust’s outreach pro-

grammes are run jointly with the Islamic Women’s Council New Zealand.

ICWNZ member Denise Jeager said the inclusion of Muslim women in the outreach programme was es-sential to show Muslim women had a voice and they were will-

ing to exercise it.ICWNZ volunteer Nada

Tawfeek said the outreach pro-gramme was useful to bring about more open-minded views of Muslim women.

“Some people were surprised to hear a girl in hijab speak with a British accent,” she said.

Dr Hafiz said focus groups run in Canterbury had

identified three common concerns amongst Muslims in Christchurch: leadership, com-munication and lack of Islamic knowledge.

One of the trust’s goals was to address the need for stronger communication chan-nels between Muslims and non-Muslim communities.

Last July, the trust invited students from New Zealand Broadcasting School to join in the breaking of fast at the Al-Noor mosque in Christchurch.

The invitation was a follow-up to an earlier educational session where the students were introduced to basic con-cepts of Islam and the impact of the media on Muslims.

This year a similar educa-tional session was offered to student journalists at the Uni-versity of Canterbury and Ara Institute of Canterbury.

Office of Ethnic Communi-ties’ general manager, Maarten Quivooy, said organisations such as the Canterbury Mus-lim Trust play a “vital role” in educating and supporting New Zealanders to embrace and celebrate the benefits that diversity brings to us all.”

Fighting prejudice

BREAKING PREJUDICES: Nada Tawfeek and her mother Dalia Mohamed are volunteers at the Islamic Women’s Council New Zealand.

ALTRUSA International, of Christchurch, celebrated its 50th birthday on June 11.

I heard that you were actually bullied as an adult, is that right? What role did that play in starting Be The Change?

Yes, I was but it’s not the driv-ing force behind why I started Be The Change. That driving force was to do with my husband working in a high school, see-ing the effect that bullying was having on young people around me, and just really having a desperate need to help them and massive empathy for them. I was thinking that’s hard enough, and then you have the earthquakes to deal with as well, and we need something in New Zealand to empower young people to stand up to bullying.

Yeah, I was bullied in the workplace but I didn’t know it at the time, so I guess it would have been good to have tools and tips to know that, actually, that’s not okay.

Can you tell me more about your background before starting Be The Change?

My background is really in the speaking side of it. When I do the workshops and presenta-tions, that comes from an acting background that I have. I have been on Shortland Street and other things when I was younger,

so that has drawn me to being able to present to young people and fit in.

When were you on Shortland Street?

I was on in 2010. My husband [Shaun Edwards-Brown] was ac-tually on for a whole year during 2009 and 2010 as well. He was a pivotal character and I got a two-month contract as well, which was really awesome.

What character did you play?Her name was Jewel Fitzpat-

rick.What was Jewel like?She was actually an actress. I

was acting, playing an actress.Who did your husband play

on Shortland Street?He was Ben Goodall – a para-

medic.How did your tenure end

at Shortland Street? Did your character get killed off or any-thing like that?

No, some main characters did a play and I was in that play, so the play just ran its course and that was it.

Did being on Shortland Street open up any more doors for you in terms of acting?

Yeah, we lived in Auckland for six months and did some ads and things like that. Then

we came back to Christchurch, I had major back surgery and then, being stuck in bed for six weeks while watching TV, I saw something which inspired me to create Be The Change.

What was it you saw on TV?It was a programme about

a bully prevention charity in America called Challenge Day and I saw that and just thought ‘wow, that is really awesome’ and it just inspired me to do something because we needed something like that in New Zealand.

You mentioned being in some ads, what might we recognise you from?

They’re pretty old now – Vector’s fibre to the door was one. I was just like standing at a sink turning the tap on and trying to get water through a straw.

But predominately I used to sing – I’d sing at Twiggers, at Addington Raceway. We used to sing every Friday and Saturday with the band. So a lot of my

performing was theatrical with singing in a band and stuff like that. I had my own band called V.I.P. I have also done about 20 shows through Showbiz over the years.

What sort of music did you sing with your band?

I love 80s. Anything from the 60s right through. It was all Top of the Pops stuff that people like to hear.

So, have you stopped playing with bands now?

I do stuff with a group called Chant et Danse, a Christchurch entertainment group.

You also mentioned that you had major back surgery, what happened there?

It was a really freak accident. Eleven years ago we were driving along Moorhouse Ave and there were high winds and a three-storey-high tree broke off in the wind just as we drove past and the tree came through the roof on to my head.

Oh my gosh!I’m laughing now but it wasn’t

good at the time, and it literally broke my back. I had two spinal surgeries so I have got a titanium back.

Do you feel good as new now?No, I have chronic back pain

but I have just learned to live with it and do the best I can through exercise and being healthy and that sort of thing, and having a positive attitude about everything – everything. If you can think of something to be grateful for in life, and literally I think helping other people helps me. If I can lie in bed at night saying I have helped one person, that makes me happy.

What sort of support do vic-tims of bullying need most? Is it really just people being kind to them?

That really is a huge part of it, yes. It takes a community to prevent bullying – not just a school, or the person, or the family. Schools are the ones that are often blamed but they really struggle with the resources and it’s people like me who can help them create positive cultures – and I need funding! Funding would enable me to give more re-sources and help to more schools in Christchurch.

But yeah, just being kind and doing things like, for example, setting up lunchtime events at schools. We held an anonymous appreciation day at Cashmere High School, where we provided kids with cards and they write anonymously nice notes to other people. We delivered 1200 notes to teachers and students that day. It was such a wonderful experi-ence and just set a positive buzz around the school.

How do you think we should view people who bully? Are these bad people or should we pity them, too?

I do believe that a bully gener-ally is someone who is doing that because they are being bullied themselves, so I do go the way of feeling sorry for them and empathising with their situation, rather than telling them they’re bad.

Taking a stand against bullying

TAKING A STAND: Vicki Edwards-Brown started Be The Change, a charity that aims to tackle bullying.

Vicki Edwards-Brown started the charity Be The Change in 2011 to tackle the problem of bullying and help support victims. She spoke to reporter Tom Doudney about what inspired her to set the charity up, her role on Shortland Street and the freak spinal injury she suffered.

Fulbright-EQC Award recipient to study seismic performance of high-rise wallsThe Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award’s newest recipient, Alex Shegay, is looking into the reasons behind unexpected failures of reinforced concrete walls and ways in which performance can be improved.

Mr Shegay, 24, has been granted the 2016 Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award in Natural Disaster Research and soon will be heading to the University of Washington on his exchange.

In the US, he will research the seismic performance of high-rise structural walls and use experimental data to create validated computer models. The research will go towards his PhD in Structural/Earthquake Engineering at the University of Auckland.

“Structural engineers have significant social responsibility to protect civilians even in the most devastating circumstances. The 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquakes were an example of one such catastrophic event, producing ground accelerations never before recorded in an urban environment.

“Many concrete buildings in Christchurch that relied on reinforced concrete walls for seismic resistance were severely damaged to the point that it was fortunate to find them still standing. It’s crucial to learn from the Canterbury earthquakes and improve building design and construction practice.”

The Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award in Natural Disaster Research facilitates research that reduces and prevents natural disaster damage. It is part of $16 million granted by EQC each year to high quality research that builds knowledge about New Zealand’s natural disasters.

EQC begins settling ILV land damage claims

Head of Canterbury Land Settlement for EQC, Keith Land

The Earthquake Commission has begun settling claims for Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land damage.

Keith Land, Head of Canterbury Land Settlement, says that the settlements will go to 4,400 customers whose properties have qualified as having an increased vulnerability to liquefaction following the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.

“Each qualified property is being assessed and will be cash settled on a case-by-case basis as we have done to date with other forms of land damage resulting from these earthquakes. Similar to Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) land damage, settlement of ILV land damage is a world-first. This type of land damage has not been covered by insurance anywhere else, so

considerable work was required to get the engineering and valuation methodologies right,” said Mr Land.

“We want to make sure that the final settlements are based on a robust and appropriate settlement process so that customers can have confidence their claims for ILV land damage have been paid consistently and fairly.”

EQC expects at least two thirds of ILV customers will receive settlements based on the reduction in their property’s market value caused by ILV, also known as Diminution of Value (DOV).

“This is because generally, there are no available ground improvement methods to address ILV damage on a property where a house has remained in place since the earthquakes,” says Mr Land.

The remaining third of ILV customers are being assessed for a settlement based on the cost to repair the ILV land damage. This will generally be in situations where the house has already been, or will be, rebuilt or removed due to the earthquake damage.”

Customers receiving a ‘cost to repair’ settlement will be individually case-managed, as the situation for each of them varies. Before it can be confirmed that these customers will receive a repair cost settlement, more information is needed to understand their property’s current situation.

Mr Land says that settlements for DOV customers began this month and EQC also started contacting repair cost customers.

EQC has resolved nearly 90% of properties with land claims resulting from 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes, and expects to resolve the remainder of the land programme by the end of 2016.

EQC will also hold six ILV meetings from July to November for customers whose settlements are based on DOV. The purpose of the meetings is for customers to ask questions and hear from EQC and its valuers about what’s been involved in ILV settlement decisions.

Progress report on EQC remedial programme

The Earthquake Commission has received 8,337 remedial enquiries of which 2,211 have been resolved as of 27 May 2016. This leaves 6,126 enquiries remaining.

The amount recorded as being spent on remedial work to May 2016 was $7,068,833. However it has not been possible to separate out all remedial costs from other work streams.

The total cost of the remedial repairs will never be finally known until we have resolved all the outstanding claims.

There are still a number of unknowns and it’s also too early to say exactly what the final figure will be for the remedial programme. However, EQC expects the final cost could be in the region of $60 million to $70 million, which is covered by our existing liability estimates. To put this estimate in context it would account for less than 3% of the approximate $2.5 billion cost of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme to date.

The level of remedial work for the Canterbury Home Repair Programme is well within industry norms for the national construction sector.

EQC has prioritised first time repairs, although it has carried out urgent remedial work for vulnerable customers or where the work is needed to make a house safe, secure and/or sanitary.

Now that EQC is down to the last of the first time repairs, focus has increased on resolving remedials.

EQC is confident it has the processes and teams in place to address the issues. EQC has been expanding the remedial team since September 2015 and more staff are being added as first time repairs near completion.

EQC does not have a projected date to stop receiving remedial requests but will continue working with customers until their claims are resolved.

One of the reasons for starting the Canterbury Home Repair Programme was to ensure customers would have the assurance that any issues with their earthquake repairs would be addressed.

Currently around 100 remedial requests are being received a week.

2016 Fulbright-EQC Graduate, Alex Shegay

Processing starts for Feb 2016 quakesEQC aims to complete assessments more quickly for the February 2016 Canterbury earthquake claims using customer-provided information for desk-based assessments.

Onsite assessment visits to customers’ properties will be the exception for cases

where there is extensive damage, claims are complex or individual circumstances require it. EQC claim managers have been calling customers to get information and documents – such as specific damage measurements and photos – before deciding whether a phone or on-site assessment works best.

Claims processing is well underway with over 685 claims paid so far out of the total 13,134 received. Priority is given to vulnerable customers, followed by claims in the order in which they were lodged.

“Customers who have had their claims settled so far have told us that the new approach is working better for them.

Before starting to settle claims, EQC proactively talked with customers about different ways of doing things, using their feedback to design our approach for this event,” says EQC Manager of the February 2016 Event, Jayne Lapin.

“Most of the damage suffered is cosmetic, so EQC won’t manage a repair programme this time but, customers who need assistance to organise repairs, can contact our Community Contact Team in Christchurch. The team has strong links with support agencies who can help. Call EQC on 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243) to book an appointment with the Community Contact Team, if support is needed.

“For customers whose 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquake claims are still open, EQC aims to resolve their February 2016 claim together with their 2010/2011 claims. We want to make sure all outstanding issues for their properties are on track for resolution by the end of 2016,” Ms Lapin says.

At this stage, EQC expects to resolve the majority of February 2016 earthquake claims by the end of December 2016.

Inquiries – view the latest fact sheet under Recent Events on www.eqc.govt.nz, call 0800 326 243 or email [email protected]

Customers can follow the progress of their claim through a series of EQC letters with a tick diagram. Each new tick means the customer is closer to receiving their settlement.

FUTURE FORECASTERS: Year 3 and 4 pupils at Beckenham School have been learning about the weather. Making their own weather vanes was one of several experiments they conducted to help them make predictions. The pupils have been looking into why the seasons change and the impact of weather on people, animals and the environment with a particular focus on the water cycle. They will share their findings at the school’s end-of-term science and technology show.

CULTURE AND RHYTHM: Cashmere High School Japanese language students performed a dance known as Odoru Ponpokorin Taisoo at a day of workshops and activities held recently at Canterbury University. About 300 high school students from around Canterbury took part in the day which was arranged by university lecturers and the Canterbury Network of Teach-ers to prepare them for their NCEA assessments. All schools performed the dance and their performances were filmed for a combined video. There was also a Japanese drumming performance by the group Takumi, feedback by the national Japanese language adviser and prize draws.

Year 3 and 4 Hillview Christian School pupils got into the spirit of things when they visited Ferrymead Heritage Park recently. The pupils dressed in period costume and tried their hand at a variety of tasks from yesteryear.

OUTDOOR adventurers united last week at the opening of three orienteering courses at Halswell Quarry with Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck on standby to give the countdown to the opening.

Along with Ms Buck, the junior world orienteering team produced a one-hour course and a novel orienteering maze.

Halswell Scouts also fund-raised with sausage sales and displayed their skills at building a bridge.

The fun permanent orienteer-ing courses were developed by the Peninsula and Plains Ori-enteering club supported by the city council with funding from the Rata Foundation.

Project co-ordinator Mike Marra said the courses range from levels of beginners through to advanced for more experi-enced map readers.

A large contribution was made from the community with map-ping of Halswell Quarry Park from the expertise of PAPO members.

The installation of the control posts also involved an enthusiastic volunteer working bee from the Halswell Scouts, PAPO members and community help.

The organisers of the opening event were delighted at the huge number of parents and young

children who turned out in certainly less-than-favourable weather conditions.

CASHMERE HIGH School face their toughest task of the season to date when they play Christchurch Boys’ High School tonight.

It’s been the perfect start for last year’s beaten finalists in the Thomp-son Trophy.

They are currently undefeated through seven games and find themselves at the top of the compe-tition.

Year 12 point guard Connor McLaughlin has been the stand-out performer for Cashmere this year.

He has 37 assists, second in the league. The point guard is also not afraid to score, he had a game-high 32 points in his teams win over Christ’s College last week.

Sharp-shooter Ruben Stanley has also been instrumental in the team’s success.

The senior is among the competi-tion’s top three-point shooters with 15 to date.

Cashmere lost a number of play-ers following last year’s grand-final campaign.

They now have one of the young-est line-ups in the league, with the majority of their team all year 12 boys and younger.

“We have quite a lot of young guys in the team this year, we even have a couple of year 10 players getting some good game time,” Cashmere coach Ben Sheat said.

It gets tough for Cashmere now, though, with a visit to third placed Boys’ High tonight.

They then play second placed Burnside in seven days time.

“They’re two massive games, the next two weeks will show us where we are at,” Sheat said.

A good crowd is expected at Boys’ High, with 100-200 students usually turning out for games.

It won’t just be the boisterous home support Cashmere will have to be wary of either. Boys’ High boast the likes of Canterbury Rams guard Quinn Clinton who has recently returned from a trip to China.

Tonight’s game at Boys’ High tips off at 6pm.

ExcEllEnt EmploymEnt prospects and a variety of career options continues to attract talented students to the world of nursing.

At Ara Institute of canterbury (formerly cpIt), the institute’s nursing programme is highly-regarded. In fact, 90% of nursing graduates find employment after graduation – that’s new Zealand’s highest nursing graduate employment rate. Ara prides itself on consistently reaching the top place.

So what makes Ara nursing graduates so employable?

years of experience in delivering nursing training, along with great facilities and expert tutors, is the first key to success. Secondly, the institute works closely with the health sector to ensure that the training aligns with what is needed on the ground in the region’s hospital wards, community health centres and aged care facilities. Ara continues to develop innovative work-based training that help prepare graduate nurses for the real world of work.

Executive Director of nursing at canterbury District Health Board (cDHB) mary Gordon says the sector is closely involved with nursing training at Ara providing clinical placements for nursing

students, employing new graduate nurses across the canterbury health system, supporting nurses to undertake graduate and post graduate education. nurses within the canterbury health system are very committed to supporting the training and development of Ara nursing students. “These students are our future nursing workforce. They will be our future nursing educators and leaders who will be shaping the health system for the future.”

Head of nursing at Ara, cathy Andrew, says nursing training is aligned to industry conditions and the demands of modern nursing. “We have excellent relationships with clinical agencies and work closely together to provide learning experiences that are positive for students. We are seen as national leaders in innovative clinical models of learning and regularly receive feedback that our graduates are actively recruited by employers throughout new Zealand.”

march 2016 graduates of the Ara Bachelor of nursing programme achieved a 90.3% employment rate. They are out there working in the sector in a variety of roles across the spectrum of nursing including hospital wards, mental health, community health, aged care and emergency units.

Ara nurses remain in demand

Take the stress out of childcare

TWO PROPERTY fires, with all the drama and heartache they entail, occurred this week – the result of very topical causes reflecting the start of winter.

In the early hours of last Sunday, a household in Parklands was alerted by smoke alarms to the fact the house was on fire.

That there were operat-ing smoke detectors saved a possible tragedy, but the cause may have been avoidable.

The origin of the fire

was traced to a clothes dryer that had been started before the occupants went to bed.

There’s two points here. Firstly, it isn’t known

whether the lint filter had been cleared recently.

If it hadn’t, and this should be done every time the drier is used, it is possible the contents just got hotter and hotter to ignition temperature.

Secondly, the use of these things should prob-ably be restricted to when you’re at home, up and alert. Then you can deal with problems immedi-ately as they occur.

The other fire was a clas-

sic winter event, where fire ash was left against the side of a garage in Linwood on Tuesday. Ash is an excel-lent insulator. Hot embers encased in the ash, inside a bucket, will not cool down for days.

In this case, heat trans-ferred through the ash, the side of the bucket and the iron cladding of the ga-rage, igniting the wooden framing.

It is recommended that five days is the minimum time to expect ash to com-pletely cool.

That’s five days you must keep the ash and bucket outside and well away from anything combustible.

Clean the lint filter in your clothes dryer

GUTTED: A garage fire on Linwood Ave started when hot ash was put in a bin.

smooth-air productsTo enSure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components in-store but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements.

VenTILATIon This includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered and warmed air in winter creates a healthy environment in which to live and work. In case

of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed.

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline.

It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable.

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands

Get rid of dampnessin your house

the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our new Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes.

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more information.

[Edition datE]2HEALTH & BEAUTY

The degree to which your body is nourished with optimal nutritional choices will have a profound effect on your overall health and wellbeing. It will influence your energy levels, your mental wellbeing, your ability to burn fat, and the strength of your immune system, among other things.

One of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine was the greek physician hippocrates. he sums up the importance of optimal nutrition choices in one line: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

With winter upon us, now is a great time to focus on increasing the number of positive choices when it comes to nourishing our bodies with great nutrition.

Base yOur nuTrITIOnaL regIme arOund WhOLefOOds Think nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, pulses and meat. make choices in these food groups that are as close to the original food as possible. This helps ensure the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are still intact. for example, raw almonds instead of roasted and/or salted ones.

ChOOse OrganIC Organic farming places the utmost importance on caring for the soil because it forms the basis for health, for all life forms. healthy soil encourages disease-resistant plants, which then transfers to the animals and people who consume those plants. By choosing organic, you are opting for food

for optimal NutritioN

5 TIPSthat has been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and without the routine use of antibiotics.

drInk WaTer your body can survive a surprisingly long time without food, but it won’t last more than a few days without water. Optimal hydration is critical to ensure our muscles and nerves function properly, and even mild dehydration can lead to feelings of lethargy. how much to drink? The answer is quite simple – drink until your wee is clear or almost clear. That’s an easy way to measure whether you’re getting enough.

Take TIme TO pLan and prepare fOr eaTIng WeLL It takes time and preparation to change your habits. schedule out time to write shopping lists, shop for food and prepare meals. plan to eat before you shop to minimise the chance of giving in to temptation foods – or shop online to minimise even further. make bulk meals to freeze for busy nights and set aside time to prepare a packed lunch the night before. keep useful kitchen items in easy-to-reach places – for example, put the blender on the bench rather than in the cupboard so that healthy smoothie preparation is quick and easy.

Change OnLy One smaLL ThIng aT a TIme you may feel overwhelmed by wondering where to start improving your nutrition.

make one small, achievable change and once that becomes a habit (something you can do without a major effort), then focus on something else. small changes are the key to success. for example, instead of saying “I’m only going to eat wholefoods from now on and forever,” instead make your target more realistic such as, “I’m going to increase to eating at least four different vegetables per day, on at least five days every week.”

As fAr ago as 1927 Doctors used olive leaf to reduce fevers and knock out malaria. scientists have discovered olive leaf contains powerful nutrients that directly interfere and even destroy nearly every type of disease causing micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast infections. As well as this olive leaf has immune enhancing benefits by activating immune cells that fight infection. for these reasons it has become a popular tonic herb that can be used to keep the immune system strong as well as when need to dramatically speed up recovery of conditions like colds and flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections, and much more. It has also been found beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome, low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical diseases, two types of leukaemia and even some cancers. In many chronic health conditions the immune system is run down and it is easy to have complications that are often life threatening. Olive leaf may be a safe and very effective option to boost the immune system and allow the body to have more energy to help heal itself.

Olive leaf has also been found to be an effective cardiovascular tonic helping normalise high blood pressure, improve cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat

irregularities, and improve blood flow and vascular disorders.

Olive leaf extract is so effective that too high a dose initially may make you feel worse. This is due to too many micro-organisms dying quicker than the body can process these dead organisms. This side effect can be minimized if you follow our protocol on dosage. Also drinking water and herbal teas especially raspberry leaf can be quite effective. further information on the amazing benefits of olive leaf and how it can be effectively used is available from our Medical Herbalist or our Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 seaview road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

It Is well known how important omega-3 fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated most people don’t even get a third of the recommended omega-3 fatty acids on a weekly basis. Countries with a higher amounts of omega-3 in their diet are known to have lower cardiovascular disease and, in many cases, better overall health. recent research has shown inflammation to be a big part of disease and the ageing process. fish oil can help reduce inflammation by providing essential fatty acids required by the body to heal itself and maintain good health. Until now most fish oil only contained omega-3 fatty acids in triglyceride form. fish, however, naturally contain omega-3 in triglyceride and phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process.

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new

standards in fish oil as it contains omega-3 attached to both triglycerides and phospholipids. studies have shown GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better absorbed, leading to increased levels of vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs through giving the potential for more health benefits.

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish using a new advanced and more natural cold extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP standards and is molecularly distilled to remove any containments, toxins and heavy metals.

further info on this revolutionary new fish oil and its benefits is available from the Natural Health Advisers, Naturopath and Medical Herbalist at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy in New Brighton, phone 388 5757. We are always happy to help!
