Best mate labelled a hero after explosion By Andrew King DANIEL ROBERTS owes his life to his best mate who threw himself on top of him to smother the flames he had been engulfed by. Mr Roberts of Ilam suffered horrendous burns to his hands, face and body after a butane container was ignited by a nearby heater and exploded on June 7 at about 10pm. He has been in an induced coma in Christchurch Hospital for the last 10 days and had to undergo an eight-hour surgery on Friday to graft skin onto his hands and part of his back. His wife Nadia Roberts said if it had not been for his best mate, James, he would have died. “He just saw his best friend screaming in pain so he jumped on top of him and tried to put the flames out. He didn’t even think about his own safety, he just tried to save his mate,” Mrs Roberts said. James also suffered burns to his hands but it was Mr Roberts who took most of the blast. She has labelled him a hero,

one of many that came to her aid on that night but also in the following days. “The neighbours came over and just said we will take the kids you just take care of what needs to be done over here,” she said. The couple have two children, a nine-year-old and a two-yearold and Mrs Roberts said it has been hard for both of them. “My two-year-old wakes up at night crying for her daddy. She now comforts herself by cuddling his pillow at night,” she said. On Friday the shed was being pulled down because of memories it brought back for the family. “I just want it gone,” Mrs Roberts said. She said without the love and support from her family and the surrounding community things would be looking much worse. “I have to give a huge amount of thanks to the emergency services, the doctors, the local kindergarten and my neighbours who have helped out. It makes it a little easier,” she said.

GRATEFUL: Nadia Roberts and her two children are praising the quick actions of her husband’s best mate saying he has probably saved his life. Inset: The shed after the explosion.

Tuesday June 21 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

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 10, 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 understanding the different cultures of the 40 ethnic groups that represent the Muslim community in the city. Have a good week. – Shelley Robinson

Mall parks needed By Tania Green and Andrew King CARPARKING ISSUES at Northlands Shopping Centre are forcing vehicles out to suburbans streets, creating a nuisance for residents. Residents say that malls are not providing enough car parks for their employees and shoppers, with nearby streets taking the load. That means narrower streets, and not enough room for visitors to park. Papanui resident Kathleen Crisley (left) said it was particularly bad around peak time, such as holidays, with mall staff trying to find a spare space. “Easter and Christmas are times when our whole street will be full with cars. Some of them are more considerate than others when it comes to parking near driveways,” she said. But Northlands marketing manager Rebecca Sheppard said she was not aware of parking being an issue, nor has it received any complaints from surrounding residents.

In Brief MAN REUNITED WITH BAG A man has been reunited with a bag he left at a Papanui bus stop on May 30. It was taken to the Papanui Police Station. They asked the Nor’West News if it could run a picture of the man to get his possessions back to him. WHOOPING COUGH OUTBREAK A warning has gone out to parents at Paparoa Street School after an outbreak of whooping cough. Six cases were reported last week, prompting an email from principal Philip Harding to parents urging them to ensure children were up to date with their immunisations, and teach children to cover coughs and wash and dry their hands. To date, no other schools have been affected.

PARKING PROBLEMS: Residents say that malls are not providing enough car parks for their employees and shoppers meaning nearby streets are taking the load.

“Northlands provides over 1700 car parks for our customers and designated parking for our retail staff and the city council have ‘time limit’ parking in most of the residential areas in close proximity to the mall,” she said. Shirley-Papanui Community Board chairman Mike Davidson said the problem stems from the consenting process.

“Pressure needs to be put on developers to consider the employees that will need to get to their place of employment and the surrounding residents who are living nearby,” he said. He said getting people into these commercial areas without the use of a car is key. “We need to be looking at better public transportation,” he said.

City councillor Paul Lonsdale said malls are not supplying enough car parks for their employees. “We are seeing the spill over into residential areas,” he said. HAVE YOUR SAY: Is your street packed with cars because of malls? Share your views. Email andrew.king@ starmedia.kiwi

WHEELIE BIN STOCKTAKE Kerbside 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 $9.3m on the cost of the bin collection service over the next 13 years by removing lost, damaged and stolen bins from circulation. Radio frequency tag’s will be installed to ensure bins that are damaged, stolen or found on other properties can be easily identified. 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. It will take approximately three years to complete.

Wheelchair-friendly fun Shirley-Papanui Community Board member Jo Byrne talks about having “wheelchairfriendly surfaces” in childrens’ playgrounds, so all children have the chance to play.

and platform swings. Children using wheelchairs are then not isolated in the wheelchair swing in the corner of a park. Internationally there are now play equipment manufacturers which specialise in accessible play grounds. In Auckland an all abilities playground has opened in Long Bay. The Shirley-Papanui Community Board has been working for more accessible play areas in our ward, too. Locally, it is fantastic to see the Smile Dial Sensory Garden development plans in Burwood. As playgrounds in the ward have come up for renewal, we have supported city council staff in coming up with play solutions that work for as many children as possible (while operating within the proposed budget). This means we have chosen more wheelchair friendly surfaces, and equipment that has more options for less physically able children. Work has started in the Craig-

Many people know of my interest in flooding issues in the Flockton area. However, many people don’t realise that, as a part time speech language therapist working with children and young people with disabilities, I have also been actively advocating for more inclusive facilities in our ward. The therapy team I work with made an in-depth submission to the Margaret Mahy family playground team on making that play area safe and accessible for people with disabilities. Overseas, many major cities are developing all access play areas. These are destination play areas where children of all abilities can play on the equipment. This means children with disabilities can play alongside their siblings and friends. Children can be side-by-side using different swings, including basket swings

head Reserve play area, and is planned for the new The Groynes play area. The community board would love a future Christchurch that has play equipment across the city for all our young people, so they can play safely in their own community and have the most suitable resources available. Another project the community board has had input into is the working party for the design of the new St Albans Community Centre. The plans for the proposed centre include an adult change bed, and hopefully will also include a ceiling hoist. This means that adults with disabilities who are unable to use the usual disability toilet facilities can still access their community and not have to go home when they need changing. This would open the community facility for use for a wider range of community groups. We all hope that when we look at the future Christchurch that it is truly accessible.

A reader responds to last week’s article about lowering the speed limit on sections of St Asaph St and Hagley Ave, as well as 27 other roads in the city. E Scott, Fendalton – I simply cannot believe this is even being considered. I absolutely oppose this idea. The city is difficult enough to negotiate without this. One cannot watch the road and speedometer at the same time. Having seen the article showing traffic personnel with a speed camera proves, without a doubt, it is a money making move on the city council’s part. Why can’t pedestrians and cyclists take

responsibility for themselves when moving around the city. Already I avoid the areas reduced to 30km/h, so businesses will notice a marked difference. All my work colleagues are doing the same. We have just returned from a 21-day cruise in Europe. For everyone who asked where we came from, my stock answer is “the city from hell, called Christchurch”. This absolutely endorses that.

Winter fire tips

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 operating 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 probably be restricted to when you’re at home, up and alert. Then you can deal with problems immediately as they occur.

Cyclists may get discount By Andrew King A PROPOSED plan to provide users of Jellie Park Recreation and Sports Centre with incentives to leave the car at home is gathering momentum. The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board wants those who walk, bike or use public transport to access the facility, instead of using a car, to be rewarded. The details will be hammered out by a working party, which will be formed within weeks to get as many different groups and Jellie Park users around the table to hear their ideas. Deputy chairman David Cartwright said it is an exciting project. “We want all the ideas, no idea is a bad idea,” he said. One idea is for bike users, who present their helmet to staff, to receive a discount to use the facilities. “There will be those out there that say it will be taken advantage of by people driving to the centre and taking a helmet with them. Those people are just sad and we can’t ruin what could be a good idea because of that,” he said.

LESS CARS: The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board wants to reward people who use other means to get to Jellie Park.

Spokes Canterbury chairman Don Babe said he applauds the idea. “I have always thought it was a weird thing that people would hop in their car and drive a long distance to exercise. Why not bike or walk instead. This would encourage that,” he said. Once all the ideas have been

gathered up by the working party it will make a recommendation to the city council, which will have the final say on the proposal. That is expected to happen in November. “This will not only go a long way to solve the parking problems that sometimes arise at

New men’s club home

By Andrew King THE BISHOPDALE Menzshed hit two milestones last week – they found a new home and they now have 50 members. The group has been based out of two containers and an enclosed courtyard at the Bishopdale Mall after moving out of the Bishopdale Community Creche. They had to move to make room for the new community centre and library. Now they will build community projects and give those with surplus skills a place to ply their trade in the old scout den on Kendal Ave. Menzshed facilitator Bill Greenwood said it is fantastic news for the group. “The old scout den will be fitted out over the next few weeks to get it ready for the boys,” he said. He also was thrilled to hit the 50-member mark. “It’s great isn’t it? We will be able to do quite a bit of good in the community and have a widerange of skills,” he said. The group started about two years ago with five members looking to help out their community. It boosts a healthy mix of ages, with members ranging from 1889 years old.

By Tom Doudney TWO Christchurch Girls’ High School students had the luxury of knowing they would win a regional cooking competition even before competing. Year 13 students Bridget James and Emily Perkins were the only entrants in the Canterbury section of the National Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge, held at Ara Institute of Canterbury last week. This meant they only had to show up to gain entry to the national final in Auckland on August 30. The competition was meant to involve several teams of year 12 or 13 culinary students going headto-head in a live kitchen cook-off to produce four portions of entrée and main meals in 90 minutes. Instead the girls were effectively able to use it as a practice run for the national final and a chance to hear judges’ feedback. James said the pair had been happy with how they went. “No other teams were around to stress us out, but I think we did pretty well.” Regional head judge Glenn Fulcher said it was very unusual to only have one team in a regional

The national winning team will receive more than $17,000 worth of prizes and entry into

Our People

Former Shortland Street actor 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. 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 driving force behind why I started Be The Change. That driving force was to do with my husband working in a high school, seeing 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 presentations, 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 actually on for a whole year during 2009 and 2010 as well. He was a pivotal character and I got a twomonth contract as well, which was really awesome. What character did you play? Her name was Jewel Fitzpatrick. What was Jewel like?

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

takes a stand against bullying 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 down 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

ON SCREEN: Vicki Edwards-Brown played the role of actor Jewel Fitzpatrick on the long running soap opera, Shortland Street.

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 victims 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 resources 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 experience 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 generally 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.

Fighting prejudice By Donna Miles 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 Canterbury Muslim Community Trust is building cultural and religious bridges by reaching out to the city’s Muslims and the wider non-Muslim community. “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 community in Christchurch was homogenous with the same cultural practices and religious beliefs. He said that, in reality, the Muslim community in

Christchurch was very diverse. The trust’s outreach programmes 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 essential to show Muslim women had a voice and they were will-

ing to exercise it. ICWNZ volunteer Nada Tawfeek said the outreach programme 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, communication and lack of Islamic knowledge. One of the trust’s goals was to address the need for stronger communication channels 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 AlNoor mosque in Christchurch. The invitation was a followup to an earlier educational session where the students were introduced to basic concepts of Islam and the impact of the media on Muslims. This year a similar educational session was offered to student journalists at the University of Canterbury and Ara Institute of Canterbury. Office of Ethnic Communities’ general manager, Maarten Quivooy, said organisations such as the Canterbury Muslim Trust play a “vital role” in educating and supporting New Zealanders to embrace and celebrate the benefits that diversity brings to us all.”

GREAT EFFORT: Selwyn House School’s top problem solvers put in a solid showing in the United States. Front row: (L to R) Aria Carroll, Ella Stephens and Enya O’Malley. Back row: (L to R) Zelle Logan (L to R), Kathleen King, Lucy Jessep, Hattie Compton-Moen and Annabelle Reilly.

Selwyn problem-solving pupils back from the US By Andrew King FORMER SELWYN House School students were some of the youngest competitors at this year’s Future Problem Solving International Conference held in the United States. Eight girls, now all in high school, re-united to compete in two teams in the middle division global issues problem solving challenges. In the Presentation of Action Plan section of the competition, which involves a dramatic presentation of part of their solution, one team placed second in the world, while the other team placed third. This involved in depth research

into a topic, they then went into a lock-up situation at the university and had to identify potential problems in the futuristic scenario presented. There were 70 teams in middle division from all around the world and the division ranges in age from 13 to 15 years old. Team member Kathleen King said they felt well-prepared and knew exactly how to approach the problems put in front of them. In the overall Global Issues Problem Solving booklet competition, one Selwyn team placed fifth in the world. Coach Greg Pearce said: “We are super proud of all the girls and their achievements.”

OUTDOOR READING: Selwyn House School pupils got out of the classroom to read their favourite books as part of the school’s book week. It was organised by the year 8 Cybrary Leaders and was the perfect chance for the pupils to share their most beloved reads their classmates.

EQC UPDATE

KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JUNE 2016

EQC begins settling ILV land damage claims 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). 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

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.

Venue: Beulah Church, 140 Springfield Rd, St Albans

Date

Time

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.”

Fulbright-EQC Award recipient to study seismic performance of high-rise walls

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.

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

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.

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.

2016 Fulbright-EQC Graduate, Alex Shegay

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.

Processing starts for Feb 2016 quakes 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The 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.

“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.

Progress report on EQC remedial programme

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.

“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.

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.

EQC 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.

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.

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.

of the school, Mr Barnett is looking forward to broadening his responsibilities. Although he will not be teaching himself - for the first time in 32 years - Mr Barnett still finds working with and for students to be the most rewarding part of his new job at Burnside.

Stage Challenge Congratulations to everyone involved in Stage Challenge, this year both in the Open Division (Seniors) and the Raw Division (Juniors). Open received awards for: community, costumes, set, soundtrack and lighting design. Raw received awards for: choregraphy, costume, concept, performance, visual enhancement, lighting, and Spirit.

Burnside High School is very successful and has an outstanding reputation for its ability to ensure that students achieve very well. We do this through our high-quality learning environments and specialist facilities. Our size, and all the advantages that this brings, is a point of difference and is what makes this decile 8, state, co-educational school special.

Pink Day

Burnside High School bases its culture on a vision of ‘personal excellence and caring for others’. Our values-based approach and purpose-driven culture is the foundation for our success. Our school crest is the historic cabbage trees (tī kōuka) that stand so proudly on our grounds. They are a historic landmark, guiding the way to a safe journey. The school ethos is based on tī kōuka: guiding all who pass this way. The six significant features that make Burnside High School a leader of learning are: • We are a centre for academic excellence with an emphasis on high-quality teaching practices and in the outstanding achievements of many of our students. • Our roll of around 2,500 students enables us to provide an extensive, diverse and specialised curriculum that caters for and challenges students of all abilities.

The student led Speak Up group organised a very successful Pink Day this term. This involved Year 13 students dressing up in Pink for the day, to show that at Burnside High School we aim to create an environment where all students feel safe and can enjoy their education free from bullying. We were also very grateful for a new initiative that was brought to us by Ashley McDonald and her form class 12SPRL. This year every student in the school was able to sign a pink cardboard T shirt which was displayed in our library and made a beautiful and meaningful display.

• We provide an exceptionally wide range of co-curricular opportunities (music, drama, dance, clubs and sports) for students to enjoy, learn new skills, take leadership roles, and achieve at a high level.

2017 Pre Enrolment closing dates

• We are a caring school where students are known and supported as individuals within a positive, inclusive and well-resourced learning environment. • We have effective relationships with parents and the wider community that improve outcomes for students. • We are innovative and responsive to the evolving nature of society through continuous and rigorous review of our systems, practices and procedures. It is my firm belief that this school, in partnership with parents and caregivers, has the proven ability to guide students to become young adults with the skills, attributes, and attitudes to make a success of their lives in the workplace, in the community, and as members of supportive and loving families. I believe in, and am proud of, Burnside High School and feel privileged to be its Principal. Phil Holstein, Principal

Charity Run On Monday the 16th of May the Year 13 Sports Leadership class completed a charity run to Akaroa. The class chose to undertake the task of running to Akaroa in order to raise funds for New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation and The Prostate Cancer Foundation. The class planned numerous fundraising activities such as a pizza night and sausage sizzles as well as approaching individual members of the community for individual sponsorship. The run itself started at 6:30am and the class reached Akaroa at 4:30pm. The students all together ran 469kms averaging half a marathon each. Some of the organised fundraising is yet to be completed but so far they have raised over $2000. By the end of term 2 they hope to hit a grand tally close to $5000.

Migrant teacher retires By Donna Miles A CHRISTCHURCH woman has hung up her hat after 20 years of welcoming newcomers to the city. It was Mr Winston Peters’ anti-immigrant rants that first spurred 80-year-old Margaret Sweet and her friend, 67-year-old Gill Fahey, to join forces to welcome newcomers to Christchurch. The classes started off as social meetings but soon developed into topic-specific conversational classes. As the word got round and the classes grew in size, Ms Fahey and Ms Sweet set about recruiting helpers. “In our hey-day, we probably had 10, 15 teachers,” Ms Sweet said. Ms Sweet, a retired highschool English teacher, said the classes were a great source of friendship and learning for both teachers and students. “The thing that comes up more strongly is how alike we all are and how we all care about the same things,” she said Former student, Iranian woman Sima Siruspour, 71, said the classes helped her improve

What’s new pussycat By Donna Miles A MERIVALE woman who had vowed never to let another cat into her heart has succumbed to furry sweet persuasions. Bettina Zadehvakili’s beloved cat, Binka, died after a simple operation led to complications. Following the unexpected loss of her cat and the long grief that followed, Ms Zadehvakili vowed never to get attached to another cat again, but two cute local cats had other ideas. Scampy and Bonnie soon discovered stealing a cat-lover’s heart was no dog work. “Scampy shows up early in the morning and sleeps on my bed. Bonnie visits in the afternoon and likes lots of cuddles,” Ms Zadehvakili said. The two local cats have been great company for Ms Zadehvakili who, until recently, was spending long lonely hours at home writing her doctoral thesis. “They are extremely happy and affectionate cats. Hard not to love them really”, she said. Ms Zadehvakili’s 12-year-old daughter, Bahar, is also a fan of the feline duo. The cats’ owner Mr Chris Stevenson said he was aware of his cats’ long visits to Ms Zadehvakili’s home.

in 2009. Nominated by her students and still ill with cancer, Ms Fahey was featured in the Good Sorts TV programme. “Gill looked lovely, so we saw the programme on TV and not very long after that, probably only maybe about 6 months, Gill died and they showed that TV programme at her funeral and that was so nice,” Ms Sweet said. Ms Sweet said the classes were wound down because they were left with only four teachers. One of the long-term volunteers, 90-year-old Daphne Crampton, moved to Nelson after the earthquakes. Ms Sweet said that many of Ms Crampton’s former students had travelled to Nelson to see her. “Her former students are visiting her at the hospital and that is very nice,” Ms sweet said. Ms Siruspour said it was sad that the classes had come to an end but was pleased that Ms Sweet had organised a monthly book group, targeted at new English speakers, so teachers and students can continue their friendships.

Boys’ High have chance to go top of trophy table SPORTS By Gordon Findlater CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High could go to the top of the Thompson Trophy standings with a win over Cashmere High School tonight. Boys’ High come into tonight’s basketball game occupying third spot in the competition, behind Cashmere and Burnside High schools. The team has no shortage of talent with three under-19 and two under-17 Canterbury representative players in their line-up. The only blip in the season to date was a 76-85 loss to Burnside a fortnight ago. “We sort of dragged the chain in that game a wee bit. We finished well and got it back to three points with a few minutes to go, but just couldn’t quite seal the deal. It was a good game to be part of though,” said CBHS coach Glenn Lang. One of the driving forces behind Boys’ High’s success has been Jack Ansell. The forward is a consistent source of points, averaging around 20 points per game. Ansell has also been productive on the boards. He leads the

league with 70 re-bounds, 30 of which have been offensive. CBHS will also be looking to have the services of highlytouted Canterbury Rams guard Quinn Clinton returned for tonight’s match. Clinton returned from Asia last week after attending a coaching program in China, which saw him test his skills against the best young players from throughout Asia. The event was also attended by top coaches from around the world, as well as current and former NBA players. Tonight’s opposition will provide plenty of challenges. Last year’s runner-up, Cashmere, are currently undefeated in the competition. “They just have an all-round solid team, they go pretty deep. They have a stand out guard, Connor McLaughlin. He’s pretty good, he’s a Canterbury under-17 rep as well,” Lang said. Cashmere’s Connor McLaughlin is one of the competition’s top scorers and currently sits second in total assists. A vocal home crowd is expected at CBHS tonight. Tip-off is at 6pm.

CREATING A PLAN: Christchurch Boys’ High will need to have a solid game plan tonight when they face an undefeated Cashmere High School.

Ara nurses remain in demand

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.

SILVER LINING: St Andrew’s in action earlier this year against Roncalli.

St Andrew’s tough week By Gordon Findlater ST ANDREW’S College suffered two defeats in the space of five days in the UC Championship. However, there may be a silver lining to come from the latest round of play. St Andrew’s got off to a bright start in Saturday’s UC Championship match against Shirley Boys’ High School. The competition’s top point scorer Sam Gilbert crossed the line for STAC 10 minutes into the game. He then converted his own try to make it an early 7-0 lead. Shirley Boys’ got themselves on the board five minutes late when first-five

Jackson Taylor converted a penalty right out in front. St Andrew’s extended their lead 20 minutes through the first half. Winger Alipate Gonerogo did well to elude a last-ditch tackle before running in for the try to make it 14-3. That would be the last point St Andrew’s would manage. Tries either side of halftime swung the match in Shirley Boys’ favour and they didn’t look back, running in two further tries to win the game 27-12. Although the loss ended what had been a frustrating week for St Andrew’s, Saturday wasn’t all bad news.

STAC lost the Moascar Cup, (secondary school version of the Ranfurly Shield) on Tuesday but will have a chance to reclaim it this weekend. Timaru Boys High School claimed the cup with a 14-11 win against St Andrew’s last week. However, they were unsuccessful in their first defence of the silverware on Saturday. Timaru lost the Moascar Cup to Nelson College 3-18. The result means that St Andrew’s will now have a challenge for the cup less than a fortnight after losing it. St Andrew’s travel north this weekend to face Nelson College.

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

Specially adapted for our new Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture.

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.

To enSure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement.

5 TIPS

for optimal NutritioN 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

that 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.”

Olive Leaf Extract Nature’s Extraordinary Immune Support 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.

GO-Advanced Omega-PC 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!

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal! ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used!

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL! Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS: • Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as shown in research • Advanced new cold extraction better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish • Naturally contains phospholipids to support cellular health • Contains vitamin D3 to support immune, bone & cardiovascular health

An oasis of pleasure and colour 187 Sawyers Arms Road, Bishopdale Price: Price on application

4 bedrooms |2 living areas |2 bathrooms |4-car garages | Listing Number: www.harveys.co.nz ID # 3430GT

ur owner’s decision to downsize after 50 years on this magnificent home site offers established section lovers a rare opportunity to acquire and enjoy a piece of “North West residential history”. Once you come thru the double wrought iron gates, you realize that you will view a home that has been crafted together by a master builder, architect and homeowner to produce a home and garden setting. This must be one of the most interesting garden and home in the greater location. The original home has been faithfully maintained while the architecturally designed extension has been blended to continue the flow of originality with class and style. The four-bedroom wing is completed with its own two bathrooms, while the dining and two living rooms flow together to create sunny spaces for entertaining, resting and relaxation. Indoor and outdoor living is easy here, and coffee on the courtyard is a must. Prolific plantings with a vast selection of rhodos, camellias and specimen maples provide a blaze of colour in summer, although this 1460m² section is a “four season garden” with colour throughout the year. The home is waiting to respond to the new owner’s expression of personality and preference in décor and furnishing. A setting that provides a four-car garage and garden shed, storage and off-street parking. Look! Dual access to the property may make subdivision a possibility.
