CULTURAL: Hillmorton High School’s Pasifika Cultural group members Natashia Faga-Ieti and Jeli Fono took to the stage at Westminster Park, as part of Christchurch Polyfest. Hillmorton High was among 19 secondary schools that took part in the event which was held outdoors for the first time in 14 years. Spectators were treated to Pacific Island dance, songs and food on the day. Deputy principal Eleanor Sim said staff were really proud of the students who took part. “They have put in hours of practice for this performance and every year, they get better and better,” she said.

Alcohol, homeless people and a lack of safety are some of the things resi-dents say children will be faced with if the city council builds a play-ground at a Hillmorton park.

Linden Grove resident Carol Mc-Millan said she had no problem with a playground being built in the

area, but believed Seager Park was unsafe for children.

The playground is due to be built in June.

Ms McMillan said the park is heavily bushed and often drew homeless people and patients from the nearby Hillmorton Hospital.

She said patients often left the hospital, bought alcohol and con-

sumed it in the bushes at the park.Ms McMillan contacted hospital

staff to make them aware of the is-sue, but they could not do anything about it because the patients were allowed to leave the premises, she said.

The park bushes had also been home to a man who was following and approaching women asking

them about their boyfriends.One woman came up the lane

that Ms McMillan lives on and told her about the man’s behaviour.

They were advised to phone police every time he was spotted at the park and eventually he was moved on.

“This is the sort of thing that hap-pens here.”

A new pedestrian and cycle pathway on Sparks Rd will be completed by the end of June.

The tender documents for the project are set to go out within the week.

The project is part of a pedestrian safety scheme which will link the residential area to Halswell Rd.

The bi-directional shared path will run along the northern side of the road from the current Halswell Library to 469 Sparks Rd.

Delineator posts will be installed to separate the path from the road.

City council road corridor opera-tions manager Paul Burden said the tender documents for the project were set to go out with construction scheduled for completion by the end of June.

“The proposed works will improve pedestrian safety, especially for chil-dren going to Halswell School, as there is currently no footpath from the old library to the easement be-tween Sparks Rd and the residential area.”

He said shared paths were used all over the world in pedestrian and cycle infrastructure and expected it to work well.

“We are not envisioning any con-flicts between cyclists and pedes-trians for the shared pathway on Sparks Rd.”

▌▌ IN BRIEF

Pipe repairsRepairs on damaged wastewater pipes on Antigua St, Addington, began last week and will continue until the beginning of May. There will be a one-way south only system on the street from Hazeldean Rd to Disraeli St. There will be a detour in place which runs long Disraeli St, up Braddon St and along Hazeldean Rd back to Antigua St.

Wastewater mainWork to replace a wastewater main on Waltham Rd began last week and is expected to take about a month to complete. This involves digging trenches to remove damaged pipes and replacing them with new pipes. The road will be reduced to one-way northbound, and there will be no on-street parking during the works.

Library repairsWork to repair the Spreydon Library will take place after the April school holidays and are set to be completed by May. The building received mi-nor damage in the earthquakes and will receive complete strengthening and other earthquake repairs.

Award nominationsNominations for Community Service Awards will close on April 10 at 5pm. The awards are a way to recognise groups and individuals who have done significant voluntary service to their community. In the Southern View area, the nomina-tions will be considered by the Spreydon-Heathcote and Hagley-Ferrymead community boards. Nomination forms are available from community service centres across the city.


Opawa residents think the city council will roll over and let a pre-school go ahead on a residential street.

DLOT Investments, city council staff and residents attended a me-diation hearing on March 19 after the company appealed its failed resource consent application.

Reeves Rd resident David Grant said the first mediation hearing had all gone as expected and it ap-peared the city council was going to roll over and let the develop-

ment go ahead.DLOT Investments wants to

build a pre-school for up to 70 children on Cholmondeley Ave.

But a group of residents have op-posed the idea since the beginning.

They say the pre-school will cause problems with traffic and noise in what was a quiet residen-tial area.

The battle has been going on for about 18 months and the resi-dents’ major concerns were the in-crease in traffic and noise if it were to go ahead.

DLOT Investment’s previous applications for resource consent

have been rejected twice, once by an independent planner employed by the city council and again by an independent commissioner at a consent hearing.

Mr Grant said he believed the developer had made subtle chang-es to the overall design since its last application.

He said residents’ concerns also sat with the minimum number of 70 children in the pre-school, but developer Jeremy Thomas was un-willing to budge on that.

Mr Grant said mediation would continue, but thought “why both-er” if residents’ concerns were not

being taken into account.He said the residents who at-

tended the mediation all walked out feeling very frustrated because they felt their needs had not been addressed.

“It’s frustrating because we live there but our rights are being to-tally ignored.”

Mr Thomas told the Southern View he would like to comment but was bound by confidentiality.

“So under the circumstances it would be most inappropriate.”

The city council did not respond to the Southern View about the residents’ comments.

Pre-school likely on residential street

• From page 1Because the park was

covered in bush, it had poor visibility from Annex Rd, which would make it difficult to supervise children playing, she said.

The stream that ran through the park was also a safety concern and it would be difficult to see if a child had fallen in because of the bush that covered that area.

“I don’t believe they have really thought it through.”

Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board chairman Paul McMahon said there would always be concerns with whatever

location was proposed.He said by leaving

the park empty it was more likely to encourage that sort of antisocial behaviour.

“The board took the view that we wanted to make it better, by putting a playground in there we reclaim it.”

Ms McMillan said the hospital staff, police and the city council knew there were problems there.

“I’m sick to death of keeping an eye out.”

She did not feel threatened at the park, but would not feel comfortable leaving children to play there.

Alison, can you tell me a bit about yourself. Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Tauranga, and then I went to University of Otago. I’ve got a geography degree, it’s a fabulous qualification. Then I came to Christchurch, and lived here for about a year. My now husband, who I met at the university was working at the district council in Amberley. And then we moved from there back up to Whakatane and then on to Hamilton.

Where did you go to school?I went to school in Tauranga.What made you decide to move

to Christchurch?My husband is a town planner,

and there seemed to be a need. I had been working with the Blind Foundation already. I have a na-tional role so it worked very well for me to move from Hamilton to Christchurch and do my job from here.

My husband applied for a job here and he’s a really experienced planner, so this was an area where he was needed. He’s working with the city council.

You moved here after the earth-quakes. Were you worried about coming back?

No, actually, not at all. We were really excited about moving to

Christchurch.Do you have any children? We have three children of our

own, and then I have two others who lived with us for quite a while when they were in their teenage years. I’ve got a daughter who is here in Christchurch as well, she’s working with Ngai Tahu. And then the boys are all in Australia. There’s one in Melbourne, one in Alice Springs and then for the two extra boys, one is in Melbourne, and one in the Gold Coast.

Recently you won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland. How did that feel?

It was fantastic, it was absolutely great. It was wonderful to be rec-ognised for something you do just because you enjoy it.

How long have you been work-ing with the Blind Foundation?

I’ve been there now for 23 years.Why have you stayed?It’s a fabulous organisation to

work for, and it’s particularly in the area I work in, in terms of a nation-al manner – for me that’s a really satisfying area of work. We straddle both working with members of the community and those who actively choose us as somewhere to volun-teer with, and we get to work with clients as well. And the involvement of the volunteers means we’re able to do extra things. It’s the sort of stuff I feel makes a positive differ-ence in those people’s lives.

Is this a paid job or do you do volunteer work on top of that?

Passion for social justice and

DONATIONS: Alison Marshall won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland.

St Albans resident Alison Marshall has recently won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland. In 2013 she received a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the community. Reporter Grace Cabell gets to know her and what she’s done for the foundation over the past 23 years.

volunteer work recognisedThe Blind Foundation national

manager of volunteer services role is a paid job.

So why did you choose the Blind Foundation?

I had been a social worker and I had also worked with people with intellectual disabilities. And so when I first started working here it was just a really nice fit. It really brought in a lot of the areas I had been working in previously. I have a real interest in social justice, and making sure people who have disabilities have the same rights as others in the community.

What different roles have you been in while working there?

I started off as a part-time local volunteer co-ordinator and the job has just grown over the years.

What does a normal day look like for you?

It has heaps of variety. A normal day can see me working with and talking with people right across the coun-try, as well as with staff and volunteers at the Christchurch office.

Do you have any standout experiences or stories from your time

working there?I think at the moment one of

the things is that I’ve been co-ordinating our two annual appeals here in Christchurch and that has been fantastic. It’s my fifth appeal. It’s a great way of meeting people. The appeals were, for a few years, organised out of Auckland. And then we decided things were settled

enough in Christchurch to bring it back to the city. We really felt there was a local need. For me it’s been a great way to get to know the city again, and to meet new people. It’s fantastic to have their involvement and good will. Just today I’ve been talking to the malls and supermar-kets, and the level of support from businesses across the city is truly overwhelming.

I understand you received a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the community in 2013. Was this to do with your work in the Blind Foundation?

No, this was for my work I had been involved with at Volunteer-ing Waikato, which is the local volunteer centre there. I’d been there for 21 years. I was also a member of the inaugural board, and had been the chairwoman of that for two separate terms. I have also been involved with Volunteering New Zealand and

was the chairwoman of that for eight years.

What do you like the most about being a volun-teer street collector?

I just like meeting people. It gives you the opportu-

nity to talk to people about the work we do and spread the

knowledge about it. I think the Blind Foundation is a really well-regarded charity in New Zealand.

What kind of reactions do you receive from people?

I’m just blown away by people’s generosity. Sometimes in some places where you think people may not always have that much to give, it’s amazing just how gener-ous people can be. It’s a great chance to talk to people about what we do. We know we have lots of people in the community who could use our services.

When you have spare time, what do you do?

I try to exercise as much as I can. At Christmas time we adopted a one-year-old springer spaniel. So a lot of our spare time is taken up by walks. I think this is a great way to see the city, I like spots like the Port Hills, and around the river, and going to the beaches. And I love getting to meet other dog owners as well.

What is one of your favourite spots in the city?

I really enjoy The Beach Bar in Sumner, and sitting out on the deck there on a lovely, calm night. Summer or winter, just as long as it’s calm, and I can sit and watch the sun go down over the mountains.

What are you looking forward to this year?

We bought a house in St Albans last year, and so I suppose this year is about really settling into the house. We have great neigh-bours so this year is going to be about getting to know them a bit better, and getting to know a bit more of the community.

HELPFUL: Alison Marshall has been working with the Blind Foundation for 23 years.

The city council has decided to put up to $20,000 towards the rebuild of the Barrington playground, which was the target of an arson attack on March 13.

The decision came after nearly $20,000 was raised by the communi-ty to go towards the rebuild, prompt-ing the city council to match it.

The Canterbury Community Trust and the Lions Club of Christchurch South pledged $5000 each, the Sprey-don-Heathcote Community Board allocated $5000 from its Discretion-ary Response Fund and a Givealittle page set up by Ray White Barrington has raised more than $4700.

The rebuild is expected to cost be-tween $30,000-$35,000.

Barringtonplayground will be rebuilt

Design amendmentsThe Old Stone House in Cracroft, is awaiting final design amendments around the fire place and facia as re-quested by the heritage architect, and once the amendments are received, resource and building consent can be lodged. The works will involve reinstatement of the mezzanine con-nections, new diaphragm wall and roof connections, lateral wall support works, deconstruction and recon-struction of the chimneys as stone veneers around steel frames, the replacement of the stone lintels and the sealing of the concrete walls and foundations with pressure injected epoxy.

Work to repair damaged buildings at Cashmere High School has been fast-tracked and will begin in April next year.

The school has been included in the second wave of the rebuilding pro-gramme and allocated $18 million to go towards the repairs.

It is part of the $138 million which will be spent on rebuilding Hornby High School, Kaiapoi High School, Banks Avenue School and Linwood College.

Principal Mark Wilson said the school had been working very closely with the Ministry of Education for about 18 months before getting to this point.

He said the school was scheduled to engage with the ministry at the end of 2018 but had some facilities that needed urgent attention.

Both the school hall and gymnasium had suffered from poor construction and earthquake damage and were now leaking.

“The buildings are deteriorating by the day.”

Plans to repair the gymnasium and its toilets and changing facilities had previ-ously been put on hold but the ministry agreed to proceed because of deteriora-tion of the building, he said.

Repairs to underground infrastructure was also needed.

The school had already invested some of its own money into some school

projects such as landscaping, minor repair work and remodelling the library, he said.

“We will be able to embark on a much bigger scale of repair and renewal with the ministry’s support.”

He said the school was delighted that the repairs would begin next year and grateful for the ministry’s flexibility in being able to move them forward.

Education Minister Hekia Parata said it was great news for the school with it originally due to enter the programme in 2018, but later included due to a number of severe issues such as leaky buildings.

“Bringing Cashmere High forward will be more cost effective and reduce disruption to the school over the long term.”

Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye said there was already considerable work under way on 20 major rebuilds of Christchurch schools.

“There has been a lot of work to ensure projects are on track to be com-pleted on time. Agencies are working hard with communities to rebuild these schools, to ensure the result is more modern learning environments and bet-ter facilities for communities.”

Work will begin at Hornby High School in September, while work to Kai-apoi High School will start in February 2016, Banks Avenue School in March 2016, and Linwood College in April 2016.

Parents, take heart. That’s the message from Ivan Leary, of NumberWorks’nWords’ Cashmere centre. According to Ivan there are many ways parents can make learning enjoyable for their children, without resorting to bribery or force.

“Start by building a positive family culture toward learning,” says Ivan. “Show interest in school, take family visits to museums and, if you’re watching television together, use news, current events and documentaries to stimulate conversation.”

Research shows that reading for pleasure is a major predictor of success in school. So Ivan recommends that children read daily. “Designating a family reading time – 20-30 minutes a day with no TV – shows that the whole family values reading.”

The flip side of reading is writing. Email is fun because it generates responses, but a diary is a good alternative.

Maths can also be fun, and surprisingly easy to practise every day. Board games and card

games are obvious ways to engage children in mathematical thinking. But so are many everyday activities: counting items, adding up costs and working out change when you’re shopping; time-keeping in the car or on the bus; measuring and fractions when you’re baking.

Along with creating a great home environment for learning, these activities indicate how your children’s education is progressing. If they show weakness in any subject now is a good time to consider tuition, before problems take hold.

Ivan says that’s where NumberWorks’nWords, specialist maths tuition and English tuition, comes in. Centres offer one-to-one tuition to all school-aged students, with unique programs individualised for each student and his or her goals. And “so much fun it doesn’t feel like learning”.

For a free assessment and introductory lesson call NumberWorks’nWords on 33 22 033 (Cashmere) or Fraser at Burnside on 3587 917.

Tracey Shewan from Koru Healing in New Brighton specialises in acupuncture and treats a broad range of conditions.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine where tiny needles are placed at particular points on the body to restore imbalances.

“� ese imbalances disrupt the � ow of qi (vital energy) through the meridians (energetic pathways running through our bodies). By restoring the balance, this stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself,” says Tracey.

As the cooler weather approaches, Tracey can help clients with immune support, bronchitis and asthma. Acupuncture is also e� ective for many other health conditions including chronic pain, migraines, digestion, skin conditions, immune disorders and women’s health issues.

“Tracey’s work with me has been

wonderful. She has helped me with calci� c tendonitis in my shoulder as well as lower back and neck issues, and my energy is clearer and stronger,” says client Penelope.

Tracey looks at the whole picture of her client’s health and at the root cause as well as the symptoms.

“Stress and emotional issues can play a huge part in how a person is feeling and these factors are considered in treatment.”

Tracey is also experienced in treating musculoskeletal conditions, such as back and neck pain, sciatica, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel and tennis elbow.

Acupuncture is also used at the Koru Healing clinic to help and support people with cancer to complement their conventional treatments and reduce the impact of the symptoms caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy or following surgery.

“Acupuncture can treat symptoms

associated with these cancer treatments such as nausea, fatigue, hot � ushes and pain, and also helps reduce stress and anxiety.”

Another option for treating depression and anxiety is Pascha therapy, which is also one of Tracey’s services at Koru Healing.

“Pascha therapy works by supporting a person to open up to and gain better

Acupuncture offers a natural and holistic choice for niggling health issues through to chronic pain. The treatment is not only subsidised by ACC as a way to

treat injuries, but is also supported by the World Health Organisation.

Acupuncture: A natural option

understanding of their feelings. � rough this process comes insight and clarity into what may be needed in order to heal and move forward in life, ultimately leading to a greater sense of self and a feeling of empowerment,” says Tracey.

“A� er receiving treatment from Tracey, I was amazed at how relaxed and calm I felt,” says client Laura, while Chris says, “I always experience relief from any symptoms and walk out feeling relaxed and energised.”

To make an appointment with Tracey at Koru Healing, phone 388 9785 or 021 0269 5523. � ere is also plenty of information about acupuncture, Pascha therapy and cancer support on Koru Healing’s website www.koruhealing.co.nz.

Sixteen weeks later and 15 kilograms lighter, her attitude to food has completely changed and she feels healthier and more positive. “� e

10-week course was immensely helpful; I found I was an emotional and habitual eater, especially of junk food. If I got stressed, I reached for something to eat. � e course helped me recognise this and gave me strategies to deal with it.”

� e programmes are run by NLP and self-hypnosis coach Rebecca Cragnolini, and some of the techniques that Jo learnt from her showed her how to break the eating

habits. Now, she says that she really enjoys good, healthy food much more and really appreciates what she eats. “Rebecca taught me to be a ‘mindful’ eater,” she explains, which has helped her to make realistic changes and new habits. Jo never feels she is on a diet, as she has in the past. Instead, she feels that she is living healthily yet still gets to enjoy treats and eat the foods she really loves.

Rebecca says that it is all about balance, and the techniques can be used to help with stress management, too. � e changes in Jo have been dramatic, and she says that

before she even began to lose weight, people noticed that she seemed more alive. For Rebecca, it shows how powerful a tool the mind really is.

Jo says that Rebecca’s sessions are interactive and enjoyable, but also respectful of the individuals who attend. “No one has to speak up if they don’t want to,” she says, “but it’s a really nice, supportive environment. It’s not about Rebecca giving us advice; it’s about � nding out what’s meaningful to you. And it’s great that she is always available to help with the techniques we are learning along the way.”

� e next 10-week course begins on April 23, 2015. To book your place, ring 021 163 8543, visit www.re-mind.net.nz, or email [email protected]. You can also visit them on Facebook.com/remind.net.nz.

Weight management

worksWhen Jo decided to attend one of Remind’s

weight management programmes last November, she knew she wanted to lose

weight but she didn’t know how effective the techniques she learned would be.

The programmes are run by NLP and self-hypnosis coach Rebecca Cragnolini,

and some of the techniques that Jo

learnt from her showed her how to break the

eating habits.

Kaiya contacted us after finding she was on the hook for her ex-boyfriends debts, and wanted to know what she could do.

It turned out that Kaiya had agreed to be a guarantor for her then boyfriend when he bought a TV and laptop on credit.

Unfortunately, like many clients we see, Kaiya had not fully understood what being a guarantor meant. A common misconception is that being a guarantor is like giving someone a character reference, but it’s not; it’s actually agreeing to pay someone’s debt if they don’t or can’t pay it themselves.

Guaranteeing a loan or other credit contract makes you responsible for paying the debt if the borrower doesn’t pay it. Being a guar-antor is risky, so if you’ve been asked make sure you know what the risks and implications are.

One key thing to know is that if the borrower doesn’t pay back the loan the lender is not required to seek pay-ment from them first; they can just go directly to you

(the guarantor) and if neces-sary require you to sell any security that was included in the agreement.

Another key thing to be aware of is that many guar-antees are ‘unlimited’; this means that you are not just guaranteeing one particular loan, but also any future loans from the same lender.

If you are asked to be a guarantor for someone, ask yourself the following ques-tions:

• Why do they need a guarantor (do they have a poor credit history? Is it likely they will have prob-lems making the payments?)

• Would you be willing and able to back the loan

(plus debt recovery costs) if the borrower can’t or won’t?

• What would you list as security, and are you willing to risk having it repossessed if the money can’t be paid back?

A contract to become a guarantor must be in writ-ing and must be signed. Because of the risks involved in becoming a guarantor we recommend that you get independent legal advice before you sign any agree-ment.

•To talk to one of our team about being a guaran-tor or to volunteer for Citi-zens Advice Bureau contact 0800 367 222

Madsen Promotions presents...

Paul Madsen returns to the Hornby Workingmen’s Club next Friday (10th April) with a tribute show combining two legendary acts - The Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

“The show will open with The Eagles Show,” said Paul. “With the recent appearance of the real thing in Auckland early March, Madsen Promotions thought it a logical choice of show for fans in Christchurch who didn't make it to Auckland…an affordable alternative!”

Paul Madsen, runner up in ‘Stars in their Eyes’, is a respected singer/performer. He has been entertaining crowds nationally and internationally for over 25 years and is well known for fronting Madsen Promotions many tribute style shows.

“Eagles N.Z. is New Zealand’s own Eagles Show. A tribute to America’s most popular country rock band. Madsen Promotions brings this rendition of the real thing with sweeping melodic harmonies topped with raw edge guitar,” said Paul. “The show is hit after hit with songs such as Hotel California, Take It Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling, New Kid in Town, etc.”

The Creedence Clearwater Revival Show is a new show for Madsen Promotions. According to Paul they chose this group because the up-tempo songs - such as Midnight Special, Bad Moon Rising, Down on the Corner, Proud Mary, etc - usually result in a packed out dance floor.

Tribute to the Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival | | Friday 10th April, 8.00pm | Tickets $20 at the club office, Carmen Rd,

Hornby WMC
