Awards for our finest „„ By Andrew King FORMER ALL White Steve Sumner and rugby stalwart Murray Ellis were two of seven north-west residents who made The Queen’s 90th Birthday Honours List yesterday. All seven were made Officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Mr Sumner (right) of Merivale received his honour for services to football which included 105 appearances for the All Whites. His strike, 9min into the second half against Scotland at the 1982 World Cup was the first for an Oceania side in a world cup. He is the only person in New Zealand to be recognised by FIFA twice, with the FIFA centennial Order of Merit in 2004 and the FIFA Order of Merit in 2010, regarded as the highest honour awarded by FIFA. Mr Ellis of Harewood received
an honour for services to rugby. He was the Merivale Rugby Football Club president from 1990 to 1994, a member of the Canterbury Rugby Football Union board from 1995 to 1999 and a Crusaders Super Rugby franchise director from 1999 to 2014. In the aftermath of the earthquakes he led the Crusaders through a difficult period following the loss of their playing venue at AMI Stadium and the death in the February 22, 2011, earthquake of fellow Crusaders’ director Phil McDonald. Nick Smith of Merivale, who is chairman of Star Media, was honoured for his services to media and to sport. Stewart Barnett of St Albans, Norman Dewes of Mairehau, Jacqueline Duncan of St Albans and Julie Hawke of Papanui were also appointed an ONZM. •Recipients, page 12
Talent on show
St Andrew’s College student Ben Lang (above right) adds his baritone sax to the band’s performance during The Cavell Leitch New Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival held at Christ’s College. It was not a competition but rather a chance to show the school its musical talent. The school’s big band is the most successful in Southern Jam history, winning the best big band award last year. It has also won gold awards at CPIT Jazz Quest for the last six years. St Andrew’s was joined by Burnside High School, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and Christ’s College in a showcase of their talents playing a mix of jazz techniques and new arrangements.

Today we celebrate those among us who have achieved something special. The Queen’s Birthday Honours List has been released and on it are a few familiar faces. See the list on page 12. Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton is also someone adding value to our community. She made the shift from training as a lawyer after the February 22, 2011, earthquake to using art as a therapy to reduce social isolation. Read about her in Our People. Earlier this year people were divided when the central city speed limits were reduced to 30km/h. Now the city council has released a number of suburban streets where the speed limits could change. See what roads could be affected on page 4. Enjoy your week. – Shelley Robinson

MOVING MISHAPS AT ECAN OFFICE
Moving can be a pain – but at least two Environment Canterbury staff members felt it more than most when the regional council shifted into its new Tuam St offices in April. Within the first two weeks, one person walked into the glass surround of the revolving door on the ground level, receiving a bruised temple and a headache.
A second person walked into the glass balustrade on the ground floor stairs bruising their upper arm. Both were put on light duties for two days. ECan spokeswoman Katherine Trought said moving 406 staff into a new office building was a little like moving into a new house, “where you bump into things until you work out how to navigate your way around.”

News Retiring principal’s fond memories ByAndrewKing CHILDREN, teachers and “the village” surrounding Paparoa Street School are all things departing principal Phil Harding will miss. Mr Harding will retire due to health reasons on September 23, the end of term three. He has been at the school for eight years and in that time he has met some of the most wonderful children and worked with some of the best teachers in his long career. “The children who turn up to this school are first rate kids, they are keen as mustard to learn, they love sport, they love each other and they have fantastic teachers,” he said. He said one of the best aspects of Paparoa St, aside from the pupils and teachers, is the community around the school. “I call it the village,” he said. “When we need it, the village wraps itself around people in need. When there is a fundraiser, the village comes out in force to help out and that’s when you realise you are in the middle of a pretty amazing place.” Mr Harding started teaching in 1975 at Chisnallwood Intermediate School and was

Major speed limit changes proposed
By Andrew King SPEED LIMIT changes proposed by the city council are trying to find the balance between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists according to a traffic expert. Every three years, speed limits on streets are reviewed, this year 27 have been proposed to have lower limits installed. In March the speed limit for the heart of Christchurch’s CBD was changed to 30km/h to provide safer, more user-friendly and enjoyable ways for people to travel. Canterbury University traffic expert Alan Nicholson said while he supports the proposed changes in the city centre, the haste they are being pushed through could face a public backlash. “It is great to find a balance between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists but if you push cars out quickly from the city centre people could get irritated and not support it,” he said. He was also concerned about the drastic change to some speeds on roads in the wards. “Some of the speeds will go from 100km/h to 50km/h. They possibly should have been changed in the past now they have a drastic change,” he said.
FINDING THE BALANCE: The city council is proposing lower speed limits on roads all around the city to make it safer for all those who use them. Inset: Alan Nicholson
Twelve roads in the RiccartonWaimairi Ward have been proposed to have lower speed limits, seven roads in the FendaltonWaimairi Ward, four in the Shirley-Papanui Ward, and one each in the Burwood-Pegasus and HagleyFerrymead Wards. Some of the roads proposed run between two wards and have been counted twice such as Pound Rd. These are mainly in new growth areas where the speed limit of a once rural road is no

Fantastic Home Show returns THERE IS less than a month to go until the doors open on the The Star Home & Leisure Show. More than 12,000 people visited the show last year, which runs over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 1 to 3. The show features the latest trends and technology for home building or renovation, as well as special deals on everything from spa pools to campervans. You can talk directly with the experts there to get advice or tips, or take the opportunity to try new products or technology. There will also be plenty of prizes on offer, including a $25,000 central heating system, thanks to Central Heating NZ. •The show will be held at Horncastle Arena from July 1-3 from 10am to 5pm. For more information, visit www.starhomeshow.co.nz
S H OW HAVING A remote control home is no longer the stuff of science fiction. If you have the technology, you can now turn your heating on while you’re on your way home, set a crock-pot to start your dinner cooking, and check up instantly on your home if a security or fire alarm goes off to see if it’s a danger or just a false alarm. Although the technology has existed for several years, it has been expensive and complicated to install. Startup company Morepork’s goal is to make the technology accessible to anyone. Chief executive Gemma Croombs said its systems could be installed simply yourself, with simple plug in cameras and control panels and wireless alarms and sensors. “People have the perception
In Brief CALL FOR TRAFFIC ISLAND Shirley-Papanui Community Board chairman Mike Davidson has asked city council staff to investigate installing a pedestrian refuge island on Main North Rd between Harewood and Langdons Rds. The island would be in the vicinity of Age Concern at 24 Main North Rd.
IN YOUR HAND: Chief executive Gemma Croombs using the Morepork app, which allows you to remotely control your security system and home automation technology.

A public backlash in the consultation saw the Plan scrapped but residents are concerned that it was proposed in the first place.

Or if you have a smart lock, you can just remotely open the door and let them in.” As new technology was developed, she said it could be added on to the same system. She plans to be at The Star Home & Leisure Show with her team, with several systems set up for people to play with there, and special deals on offer.

Most styles are the popular ankle boots; however, long boots are also featured, with all styles affordably priced.

Kim Morton
Putting all the energy into art, creativity Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton talks to Fraser Walker-Pearce about reducing social isolation through art, training as a lawyer and her favourite place in the city
Kim, tell me a bit about what you do for the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust. I guess I lead the programme and we run art programmes. At the moment we run at Phillipstown and Aranui Libraries but we are looking to expand across the city into other community hubs. Our mission is using art to boost people’s wellbeing. We’re especially looking to work with people that have experienced mental illness, earthquake trauma and social isolation. We provide opportunities for people to connect with their community as well. How long has it been running? It’s been going for just over a year now, but we had a low profile for our first six months. But
EXCITED: Kim Morton is the manager of Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust, and teaches creative art classes.
since the start of the year we’ve had quite a surge of interest in our programmes. We’re very excited because it means we need to expand them now, and we’re looking for support to do that. Where is the programme based? The base is Phillipstown Community Hub, in the old Phillipstown School, which closed at
the end of 2014. We’re here along with a whole lot of other fantastic community initiatives. Aranui also presents a great opportunity because the team there is really passionate about serving their community. We know libraries are the living room of communities and people go there because they feel welcome and it’s a free space.
And the feedback you’ve received has been positive? The feedback has been fantastic. What people love is that it’s participant driven, so artists choose the art forms they’re interested in, and they do that. The environment they’re in is without any pressure to produce, just heaps of encouragement. People have said it’s a really inspiring environment
to be in. It’s not a structured class as such, anyone could be working on anything – like sculptures, printmaking, and calligraphy. Sometimes the participants will need encouragement and suggestions, but most people settle in to what they want to be doing. If someone’s stuck we help them though. Has the programme been successful for the artists? Some people have come in and worked in this space, and they’ve had work feature in national exhibitions. We’ve had three people gain scholarships through The Learning Connexion but also people are feeling like they have a sense of belonging to something creative and belonging to a new community. They’ve said they’ve made friends. And from that they’re more engaged in their community. Has this project been set up by the city council, or independently? It’s an independent community charitable trust. We have had great support from Creative New Zealand, the city council and the Rata Foundation. Not only that but we are finding that we are being given a lot of support in terms of art materials, which is a fabulous endorsement for the trust.

and wellbeing projects How full are your classes? Funny you should say that actually, we have a waiting list for the Phillipstown groups. There’s currently a lot of work being done looking at whether a community hub could be set up in the closed Central New Brighton School, and we’re hoping we might be able to share a space in that facility. You must get a bit of a kick knowing classes are full? Oh absolutely. It’s something that I get a great deal of joy out of. Yes it’s my full-time job, but my focus has been on establishing the programmes and now they’re doing so well. We just need to secure funding so we can add to our existing programmes to meet the demand. So how did this all come about? About 20 years ago I managed a community art space in Masterton and I’d been aware of the gap in Christchurch for some time, but it was only after the earthquakes that it kind of galvanised my energy and so I decided to kick-start something here. There’s a network of spaces like this around the country, so I had good relationships with the people involved there and then we did some research which was funded by Creative New Zealand, and it looked at the need and how
something should be set up here. It’s not something you can just transplant from one city to the other, Masterton is a small town. In post-earthquake Christchurch, opportunities to connect with others creatively in your local community seemed more important. So is the city council involved at all? It supported the feasibility work done in 2014 and our set-up in early 2015. The city council has been supportive right through that process. Two council staff members were on our steering group which guided us through the research stage, and establishment. How long have you been in Christchurch then? I’ve been here for 15 years, and was in Masterton before, for about three years, but I was born in Auckland. I’ve lived in lots of different places, but Christchurch is home now. Oh good to hear! Where are your favourite spots? My favourite in Christchurch is Taylors Mistake. But in New Zealand, it’d be the Cavalli Islands in Northland. It’s special because we had lots of childhood holidays there, and many family connections. Do you have any family down here?
I have two boys, who are 17 and 13. They keep me on my toes. They’re both at Hagley Community College, and they’re enjoying that. I’m not sure what they want to do, but as long as they do what they’re passionate about, I’m good with that. And where in the city are you guys based? We’re in Lyttelton. The kids love it because of the hills and the sea, and the great landscape. That’s a bit of a trek to work each day? Yes that’s a point, I don’t live in the communities I’m working in. That means that it’s even more important to have a strong relationship with the community. We’ve designed some projects that are around the identity and stories of Phillipstown – photography and poetry projects that combine with Ara Institute of Canterbury, and local residents, and what Phillipstown means for them. That’s only just started. Where did you go to school then? I went to school in Auckland, to Westlake Girls’ High School. It was just the one up the road from where we lived at the time. Did you ever have a mentor, or a big influence that taught you art? Some people do have an outstanding person in their life, but
DISCUSSIONS: Kim Morton and Creative New Zealand’s Chris Archer discuss the future of the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust.
this is hard for me. I guess mine was Sue McBride, who was an outstanding art teacher. I really enjoyed art at school because of her, so that probably did sow the seed. What did you do after that? I’ve had quite a few different aspects of my work. One is in law, I trained for law, and didn’t know if I’d take it further after I studied it. I specialised in social justice and community law. And in a way there’s quite a connection between those studies and what I do now. Where did you study for law?
At the University of Otago for five years. I worked in consumer rights and then in community law, specialising on welfare law. And did you use the degree? Did you have any law jobs? Yes, I did. I guess it must have been 20 years on and off using it. The earthquakes made me question what I was doing, and I decided to put my energy into creativity and wellbeing projects. Life’s short, if I can make a difference, then I should. And for me it was around this idea of art and creativity in Christchurch that was the best way I could do that.

NOR’WEST NEWS Selwyn House School pupils laced up their running shoes and participated in the schools annual cross country. Held in Fendalton Park recently, the pupils competed in their school years. Lyla McCallum won the year 3 race, Charlotte Chiles won the year 4 race, Beth Heywood won the year 5 race, Evie Johnson won the year 6 race, Lottie Heywood won the year 7 race and Emma Bone won the year 8 race. The cross country event allows the girls to develop their learner profile attributes and attitudes such as commitment, risk-taking and balance.
SOLID: Cotswold School pupils Henry Goodall, 9, and Aidan Sandys, 9, check out an example of the support plate installed under the Christchurch Art Gallery.
Earthquake education COTSWOLD SCHOOL pupils were curious about what causes earthquakes so they ventured to Quake City before visiting the Christchurch Art Gallery to make prints. The pupils from rooms 16 and 20 had plenty of questions about earthquakes and a Canterbury Museum educator walked them through what makes the earth move. Nine-year-old Ollie Whisker said he learned that there are plates under the ground and that they moved to make an earthquake. Said Sophie Matthews: “With a slinky we learned how earthquakes start.” Pupils also learnt about plates and the Richter scale and what
happened to the buildings in the city centre. They got to look at how engineers are designing support systems to negate the shaking effect on buildings if there is another earthquake. The pupils found it interesting to look at one of the plates that has been placed under the art gallery, which means that the building will hardly move in any further earthquakes. “It is interesting that every new building after the earthquakes will be built stronger,” Skyla EganBeach said. Nine-year-old Sariah Drake said it was amazing that one of the clocks in the city stopped working at the time of the earthquake in June.

Your Local Views Engaging with youth Canterbury Youth Workers Collective co-ordinator Penny Prescott says for post-quake city to thrive there needs to be involvement from young people. A couple of weeks ago I was one of a handful of adults who got to attend a UNICEF Youth For Change Conference that was held here in Christchurch. A team of four young people put this event together and there were 70 other young people in attendance. There were a range of speakers, including the Youth Advisory Group for a collaboration project I help out with called Child and Youth Friendly Christchurch. The YAG were there consulting with the participants about what they think it is that makes a city youthfriendly. An amazing example of young people providing a space for young people to consult with other young people about things important to them and our city.
It would be great to see more of these events and more publicity of these events so all young people get a chance to attend. There’s a group in Christchurch called Youth Voice Canterbury who are a network of young people and youth participation groups. A few weeks ago they pulled a diverse group of young people together to chat with the city council senior staff and elected members about what’s important for youth in our city. It showed a real willingness by the city council to engage with young people, and those young people felt listened to and valued. Although this was well supported by the city council, it was pulled together and facilitated by young people who wanted to participate. These sorts of opportuni-
ties are valuable both for the people making decisions about Christchurch, but also for the positive development of our young people. At the moment Youth Voice Canterbury are organising the first Canterbury Youth Awards. Nominations closed earlier in the week with 81 nominations being received. The idea is to create a culture of celebrating young people. I think it would be fantastic to see this event and others like it promoted positively in media outlets for both the public and the youth of Christchurch. I understand that there are real issues for young people in our communities, and these need to be discussed and addressed. But what I want is for us to ensure that we’re spending just as much energy giving our young people opportunities and celebrating their successes, because the youth are the future of this city. If we want to see our great city continue to grow and to thrive postquake, then we need to have involvement from those who will be there to grow it.

Environment Canterbury responds to last week’s opinion piece written by Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board member Faimeh Burke about low water levels in north-west streams. ECan groundwater science manager Carl Hanson responds: Lady Burke has suggested that irrigation is a major cause of the dry streams in western Christchurch. We disagree. The primary driver behind these dry streams is the low rainfall we’ve experienced over the past two years. Groundwater use does have an impact as well but, within the Christchurch area, 88 per cent of the current groundwater allocation is for public water supply and industry, compared to only 11 per cent for irrigation. Water use in Christchurch is high, 30 per cent higher than in Auckland per capita. There are immediate actions that each of us as Christchurch residents can take to help our streams such as planting and maintaining gardens that do not rely on sprinklers in dry summer months, remove paved driveways and paths as much as possible and fix leaky taps and pipes. Do you agree with ECan’s reasoning behind low water levels in the north-west? Share your views with us, email andrew.king@starmedia.kiwi

New world in education Purpose of community boards This opinion piece is written by Paparoa Street School principal Philip Harding about the rapidly changing environment in the classroom All parents with children now at school will be dealing with change and indeed the pace of change, in their work places and personal lives. Change is a constant in education, and the expectations on schools and teachers seem to grow every year. Teachers across Canterbury are talking about their professional practices, and reflecting and sharing their teaching challenges more openly with colleagues. This professional deprivatisation of what happens in a classroom is very different to when we went to school. In my day, the relationship between the teacher and the children was something of a closed book to others, and even now, the mere arrival of another person in a classroom can change what is happening. In my school, teachers are exploring the power of working closely and collaboratively with another colleague, and their universal sentiment is, “we wouldn’t go back to teaching alone”. Along with this growing transparency and collaboration is the increasing use of a bewildering and expensive array of new digital tools, including laptops and tablets, movie cameras and data projectors, robots and 3D
printers to name a few. In spite of the awareness of a rapidly changing world and the engagement by us all with exciting new technologies, parents are instinctively nervous about these fast moving changes, and this can lead to tensions for school leaders to manage. Desks in rows and a teacher up the front worked well for you – so why should it not work for your children? The future for your children will a very different one than the lives we have all experienced. Employers tell us that they want children who can think creatively and cleverly, show initiative and self-management, and work successfully and positively with other people in a range of contexts and work environments. The changes that are happening in schools are all intended to build these skills – indeed they are described as the key competencies of the world famous New Zealand Curriculum. Make it your business to stay informed about what is happening in your children’s school, and support the fabulous innovation that I am seeing whereever I go. The future will be very different – and it should be an exciting ride for both your children and you. •Do you feel the classroom is changing for the better? Are we keeping up with the technology?

Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board deputy chairman David Cartwright discusses why voting is so important at a local body level. As we approach the local body elections I find myself having many interesting, and sometimes challenging, conversations with friends, colleagues, and people in the community regarding the process and purpose of community boards. As with anything, the opinions and level of understanding around the role of community boards covers the entire spectrum from those who see just another pointless layer of bureaucracy to those who are very supportive and really value the community level advocacy and decisionmaking the boards can provide. Often the strongest supporters are those who have had some kind of contact with the board; perhaps through being involved with a deputation, receiving a grant for a community event, or communicating with board members regarding improvements to local facilities or infrastructure.
At the heart of it, the success and relevance of a community board can be measured on its ability to communicate with and advocate for their community— that is our purpose. As I come to the end of my second term on the Fendalton Waimairi community board the range of issues and events we are involved in continues to excite and motivate me. The small things really do make a difference when it comes to improving well being, safety, and engagement at a community level. Some of the highlights of this term have been delivering the new Burnside Park fitness track, progressing the replacement Bishopdale library, addressing car parking demands at Jellie Park, and granting funds to the talented youth of our Ward to attend local and international sporting and cultural events. Recently the Fendalton Waimairi Community Board have heard deputations on the intersection of Gardiners and Harewood Rds and looked at various short and long term solutions to address the ever increasing traffic on our roads.
Other deputations have covered issues such as the drying up of our rivers and streams, increasing quarrying and land use issues, and the removal of problem trees on health or safety grounds. Of course, not all issues can be solved at a community board level but board members can elevate any issue with council staff, request additional information, and work to find an agreeable outcome. All of this means one of the most important attributes of an effective community board member is the ability to really listen and communicate with residents, other board members, councillors and council staff. So when you come to complete your voting papers in October take the time to find out more about the candidates, think about the issues that matter to you and your neighbours, and take a proactive approach to deciding who will be your voice in the community. •What do you think of local community boards?

Q ueen ’ s B irthday h onours L ist Star Media chairman receives honour ByGabrielleStuart STAR MEDIA chairman Nick Smith has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for more than 50 years work in media and sport. He was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit yesterday. Mr Smith started work at the Christchurch Star in 1965, as an advertising cadet. “It was the heyday of newspapers. You weren’t competing for eyeballs. I spent two and a half years there, and it was fantastic. I still have a lot of friends from those days, we had a lot of fun together. We used to have boxing tournaments in the lunchroom,” he said. He went on to become a director of Allied Press, publisher of the Otago Daily Times, and chairman of CTV.
Although he was a major shareholder, he said he stayed in the background at CTV for several years, leaving the running of the company to managing director Murray Wood. But when Mr Wood was killed in the collapse of the building in the February 2011 earthquake, Mr Smith said he was suddenly thrust into management of the station. He remembered the first meeting the day after the earthquake, sitting in a dark room without power talking about the future with his distraught staff. “It would have made more sense to take the insurance money and close the station, but to me that would mean we let the staff and the victims’ families down. That to me was the deciding factor.”
RECOGNISED: Star Media chairman Nick Smith was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen’s Birthday Honours yesterday. PHOTO: GERARD O’BRIEN, OTAGO DAILY TIMES He has also played a key role in sport over the years, helping to develop Hagley Park, form the University Oval Redevelopment Trust and raise $2 million to establish the first
cricket ground in Dunedin. He has also sponsored and donated to many community groups and organisations working around the South Island.
“My philosophy has always been what’s good for the province is what’s good for the business, and what’s good for the company is good for the province.”
Woman’s services to community recognised ByTomDoudney A MOTHER’S kindness and her upbringing in a large family set St Martins resident Lynda Macdonald on the path to a lifetime of helping others. Yesterday, she received the Queen’s Service Medal for services to the community. Mrs Macdonald worked voluntarily as a Strengthening Families facilitator for more than eight years, and was appointed to a number of social welfare panels in the 1990s, such as the Care and Protection Resource panel that monitored and advised social workers. She has been involved in governance and management roles in the Catholic Church since the 1980s and tutored Catholic students and their parents on sexuality for more than seven years. Mrs Macdonald said she was taken back when she heard she was to receive the honour. “I’ve done nothing startling, I’ve just done what was needed to be done in front of me,” she said.
HELPING OTHERS: Lynda Macdonald was awarded the Queens Service Medal yesterday for her lifetime of working with a number of community focussed organisations and initiatives. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN “I have been a mum and a grandmother and probably tried to be a good neighbour and good friend to people and that’s about
it.” She said growing up in a big family with a kind mother had been a key influence in giving
the amount of time and energy she had to various initiatives. “We were taught always to treat others as you would like
to be treated, so if I had a sense that I could make a difference to someone, I would do it.” Her community work began when, as a 25-year-old mother of three, she was instrumental in setting up a Plunket home visiting group in Avonside. From there she kept being asked to help with more and more initiatives. Later, Mrs Macdonald was a co-ordinator of Heartland Services, a prototype organisation developed to promote access to government and NGO services, which was nominated for a United Nations Award. In 2007, she received the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board Certificate of Community Service. She is also a Justice of the Peace and marriage celebrant. One of the things she had found most rewarding was her time working for Barnardos when she ran parenting courses in the Christchurch men’s and women’s prisons.

Free trade schools TWO north-west schools are aiming to raise awareness of fair trade with an art exhibition. Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and Heaton Normal Intermediate are the only two fair trade schools in the city and both are aiming, through two exhibitions, to raise awareness around fair trade and ethical consumerism. Rangi Ruru’s director of sustainability Kate Rivers said fair trade schools are committed to using fair trade products, educating students about its philosophy and raising awareness in the wider community. Students from both schools have produced paintings, prints and ceramics for the exhibitions. Coinciding with World Fair Trade Day, the first exhibition ran from May 14-20 at Trade Aid in Merivale. The second show is currently on display at the Christchurch South Library and will run through until June 14. The project highlights Rangi Ruru’s sustain-
ability philosophy with the exhibitions featuring artworks produced using fair trade products. Ms Rivers said the idea behind the works is the concept that everybody has the power to be an agent of change and every person can make a difference. “Students from across curriculum areas contributed to the exhibitions in various ways,” she said. “Poems written in year 9 English were printed

onto rag bags using stamps, others were stencilled on to coffee sacks during year 9 art class. Year 10 Maori studies and year 12 students also stitched tukutuku designs onto the sacks.” Ms Rivers said they were totally inspired by the students’ ideas and creations, and the school was grateful to Heaton Intermediate for the use of their kiln to make crafts with.
FAIR TRADE: Students from Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and Heaton Normal Intermediate have created some art for their Fair Trade exhibition currently on at the Christchurch South Library.
HIGH ACHIEVER: Former Burnside High School student Emma Richardson was the top scholar in printmaking and Japanese in her final year. Recently, her efforts were recognised in Parliament. Ms Richardson is now attending the University of Auckland’s Elam School of Fine Arts, where she has embarked on a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Pictured (L to R) is Burnside’s printmaking teacher Bob Tellick, Emma Richardson, Prime Minister John Key and mother Kazue Richardson.

Young tennis player has big future GordonFindlater ST ANDREW’S student Jamie Garbett has taken out one of junior tennis’s most esteemed international titles, winning the IMG Discovery Open in Florida, USA. In the first week of the trip, Jamie took part in a training camp with other top juniors from around the globe. The highlight of the training camp was a one on one session with Nick Bollettiere, one of the world’s greatest tennis coaches who has worked with the like of Kei Nishikori, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Boris Becker, Maria Sharapova, Serena and Venus Williams and Monica Seles. A tournament was played after the camp. Jamie, 14, competed in the 16s age group. Jamie was ranked third in his pool and went on to win all pool matches before progressing to the playoffs and eventually the final. The final saw Jamie take on a top Australian junior. Jamie won the match in three sets to take the tournament. The win qualified him for a US$80,000 sports-academic scholarship to the IMG Academy. DEUCE: Jamie Garbett stretches for a backhand in Florida.

FACILITIES TO help athletes train in the north-west have been installed at Papanui High School. Papanui Toc H Athletic Club, with help from the New Zealand Community Trust and Christchurch Earthquake Recovery Trust, have come up with the funds to complete a 130m, six-lane, allweather athletic track. Athletic club committee member Buzz Jones said it will allow athletes to prepare better. “Instead of travelling to Timaru to get the experience of competing on an all-weather surface, our athletes can just head down to the high school,” he said. The Papanui Toc H Athletic Club will hold mid-week meetings to cater for events to make the best use of the track. “The events we will be looking at are 60m and 100m sprints, 80m, 100m and 110m hurdles for all grades from 12 years up,” he said. They hope that secondary schools and clubs will make use of these meetings, which will start in early October in time for the build up to the New Zealand Secondary School Championships. “With Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub still months away, this track will be of great benefit to all athletes of all ages,” he said. The facilities are now some of the best in the Canterbury area, with three long-jump run ups, five shot put circles, two discus cages, a high jump area, pole vault area and an eight-lane grass 400m track in the summer months.

Effective treatment for many types of pain
C
omplementary medicine is becoming increasingly sought after in New Zealand as people become aware of the many different methods of treating pain and ill health that are available here. Christchurch-based Chinese health practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a method of treatment, which she says has as an immediate affect on a wide variety of pains and health conditions. It is known as ‘acupuncture without needles’. Lan describes it as being similar to reflexology in that the problem area on the body is determined through pressure, but is much more accurate. Trained as a medical practitioner in China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 and began practising acupuncture in 1995. From that discipline she created her acupuncture without needles, and uses it to treat people of all ages with many different types of pain in all parts of the body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, and pain from injury. “For example, the treatment has been very successful for people who have painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan says. Acupuncture without needles is also effective in restoring energy levels,

she says. “As people age their energy is reduced, and this can lead to other health problems. The acupuncture without needles treatment is like the body’s
battery being charged up again, so their energy levels are restored, which in turn helps overcome their health problems.” Lan also uses it to treat depression and anxiety, and says it can help with addiction problems as well. “After the treatment the person has no cravings – because it treats the cause of the addiction.” She says the results are immediate, though people may need several treatments, depending on the extent of their health problem, and while it is slightly painful for few moments, everyone can tolerate it. Lan Xiao’s website, www. drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes videos of people whose health problems have been overcome after receiving the treatment.
Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 5pm. To discuss your health issues or make an appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 8388.

smooth-air products To 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.
Get rid of dampness in your house 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
ve Remo mells om s o r h t ba m! a e t s and
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.

According to a country doctor “d.c. Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and honey (cV & H) can be an important part of a long healthy life. dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly consumed cider vinegar and honey had excellent health with many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even when well into their eighties. dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar and honey on arthritis can be remarkable with many patients reporting almost total relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar and honey. dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted calcium deposits and helped the body control calcium use. As well as a general tonic dr. Jarvis found regular administration of cider vinegar and honey at the onset of complaints such as the common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic attacks, hay fever, and childhood diseases such as chicken pox and measles, was accompanied by an improvement in the condition with symptoms either disappearing, or the conditions were extremely mild and soon over. Apple cider vinegar contains
all the goodness of the apple in a form that is readily accepted by the body. Scientists have found over 90 different substances in AcV, among them 20 important trace elements, minerals, essential enzymes, a number of different acids including malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the form of potash and pectin. A scientific study at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven AcV to have potent antioxidant benefits (it can destroy free radicals, which are a major factor in ageing.) and also the AcV can break down cholesterol formations in the blood vessels. AcV and H is a powerful tonic that also promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize any toxic substances that enter the body. it is important to note not all cider vinegar is made in the traditional way and results are likely to prove disappointing with these other vinegars.

certAinLy, BALAnce and muscle strength decline with age and can have disastrous consequences. But it’s never too late to improve both. We can help ourselves to remain independent. it’s easy to make excuses, i’m too tired, too old, too fat, too lazy. if you want to change your life, even at 90 it’s possible to improve your leg muscle strength. it may still be possible to maintain or regain your balance and live the life you want. every year, one out of three people aged 65 and over has a fall. A few simple exercises can help reduce your risk of falling and keep you independent longer. try standing on one foot for 10 seconds while waiting for the kettle to boil. Heel to toe walk in the lounge. Looking straight ahead, take 20 steps and imagine you are walking along a narrow path. For active people, most outdoor activities and tai chi and yoga are excellent for both leg strengthening and balance. For those less active or with mobility problems, seated exercises can achieve results amazingly quickly.

Complementary therapies
and products coMPLeMentAry Medicine includes treatments and products that are not traditionally used in conventional medicine. They range from ancient systems such as traditional chinese medicine to treatments such as massage, acupuncture, herbal medicine and aromatherapy. They emphasise a ‘wellness’ that comes from a balance between the body and mind. The gap between conventional medicine and complementary is starting to blur. Before starting any treatment or product it is important to check what evidence is available to suggest that it may work for you. Many treatments are beginning to be backed up by scientific evidence. However, for many others it is still unclear whether they are truly effective, harmful or a waste of time and money. Some supplements that may be beneficial for you: Avocado, soybean, calcium & vitamin d, capsicum, folic acid, fish oil, glucosamine & chondroitin and cherries. Herbs can also be beneficial e.g. boswellia can be beneficial for those with osteoarthritis. you may also consider tai chi, yoga and relaxation techniques. if you try complementary medicine treatment it is important to discuss with your medical practitioner about any possible interactions of the product with your current medical treatment. Keep in mind that natural does not necessarily mean safe and always tell your doctor of all the remedies you take.
