$50,000 pedestrian crossing proposed BY GRACE CABELL Would you pay $50,000 for a crossing like this (right)? Ratepayers will be, if a city council proposal to install one on Memorial Ave goes ahead. A 9m pedestrian island was proposed after residents raised concerns about a lack of crossing facilities in the area. The nearest pedestrian crossing facility across Memorial Ave is at the Clyde and Fendalton Rds and Memorial Ave signalised intersection, which residents say is too far. The project comes after a city council plan to spend $8000 for a 40m strip of reflective green paint, traffic management and improvements to the Papanui and Blighs Rds intersection. City council road corridor operations manager Paul Burden said installing a pedestrian island for $50,000 is the total project budgeted cost. He said if it was to go ahead, the project would take two weeks to complete. “The project budget covers project management, scheme design, detailed engineering, design consultation with the community, reporting to the community board and supervision of all construction works. “The construction costs, including line marking changes

PO BOX 1467, Christchurch Proudly Christchurch owned & operated
Laptops donated to schools BY GRACE CABELL Smiths City has donated three laptops to schools as prizes in The Star City2Surf with Mike Pero Real Estate. St Andrew’s College, Breens Intermediate School and Selwyn House School have received the laptops for having the highest percentage of students per category in the event. Breens Intermediate principal Brian Price said the school always encouraged the pupils
to get active. He said the school welcomed the laptop, and any device donated was greatly appreciated. St Andrew’s College head of middle school John Anderson said about 170 of the school’s pupils ran at the event. “It’s just part of what we do.” He said the school would put its laptop up for silent auction, and donate the proceeds to Onesua College in Vanuatu, to aid in the devastation of Cyclone Pam.
Selwyn House assistant principal Juliana Rae said year 8 leaders entered the City2Surf as part of a school initiative. She said the school would also consider auctioning off or donating the laptop to help Vanuatu. Smiths City marketing manager Peter Dickie said it was great to be able to help. “It’s great to be able to support the event and to see the prizes go to a worthwhile cause for the schools,” he said.
There are two fire appliances in the city along with a number out in the country that are set up as rescue trucks. This means they are equipped with the specialised equipment necessary to cut, spread and lift the often twisted metal of car crashes. Normally this is only required when a victim is trapped by that twisted metal from being freed. Last Saturday saw two of these extractions carried out by Sockburn’s crew, in the morning, at Buchanans Rd, and then late in the afternoon at Prebbleton, where a young girl was trapped. In both cases we hope for quick recuperation of those injured. Multi-boxes have been mentioned recently as a source of fire. A school in Sockburn was fortunate to be equipped with smoke detection, again last Saturday, when a multi-box with lots of plugs in it overheated and started smoking. Attended by Addington’s crew the incident was quickly handled with minimal damage. Without the smoke alarms? Well we would probably have lost at least one classroom. Maybe more.

Dudley Creek bypass options looked into BY GRACE CABELL
The city council has approved plans to investigate two bypass options at Dudley Creek. The bypass options will be made for the lower reaches of the creek to provide flood remediation for the most vulnerable areas in the Flockton area. Beca Consultancy Services has been contracted to assess the options for the downstream portion of the proposed works, and the design element of the upstream work. Beca will deliver a comprehensive report to the city council
in July this year, outlining a full technical analysis and comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the two options. Option A is for the Warden St Bypass, with Dudley Creek channel works along Banks Ave and residential red zone. Option B includes the Warden St Bypass through Marian College, Richmond Park and residential red zone. City council infrastructure rebuild general manager John Mackie said it was vital to explore all options in depth, so residents and elected members are fully informed.
“Getting feedback and engaging with the community on this issue will form a huge part of the decision-making process when city councillors choose a preferred option. “We have already had valuable contributions from the community in our initial consultation in November 2014 and this feedback, along with future consultation, will provide the detailed information that is required for the assessment of both bypass options. “We are very conscious of the impact this work will have on the Dudley Creek environment and

surrounding areas. We need to be sure these works, wherever they are carried out, provide a well balanced and well designed option for improved flood protection for the community, as well as delivering value for money to the city council and the ratepayer. “We acknowledge there have been delays with the decisions around progressing the work, but we want to get this right to ensure the maximum benefit to our communities. We are still on track to see the overall project completed by winter 2017,” Mr Mackie said.
City council staff will design a signal-controlled pedestrian/cycle crossing on Waimairi Rd. The crossing will be part of the Uni-Cycle route, one of a network of 13 Major Cycle Routes the city council plans to build. The crossing will provide a permanent solution for students at Canterbury University who need to cross the road to move between campuses.

Passion for social justice and volunteer St Albans resident Alison Marshall has recently won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland. In 2013 she received a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the community. Reporter Grace Cabell gets to know her and what she’s done for the foundation over the past 23 years. Alison, can you tell me a bit about yourself. Where did you grow up? I grew up in Tauranga, and then I went to University of Otago. I’ve got a geography degree, it’s a fabulous qualification. Then I came to Christchurch, and lived here for about a year. My now husband, who I met at the university was working at the district council in Amberley. And then we moved from there back up to Whakatane and then on to Hamilton. Where did you go to school? I went to school in Tauranga. What made you decide to move to Christchurch? My husband is a town planner, and there seemed to be a need. I had been working with the Blind Foundation already. I have a national role so it worked very well for me to move from Hamilton to Christchurch and do my job from here. My husband applied for a job here and he’s a really experienced
planner, so this was an area where he was needed. He’s working with the city council. You moved here after the earthquakes. Were you worried about coming back? No, actually, not at all. We were really excited about moving to Christchurch. Do you have any children? We have three children of our own, and then I have two others who lived with us for quite a while when they were in their teenage years. I’ve got a daughter who is here in Christchurch as well, she’s working with Ngai Tahu. And then the boys are all in Australia. There’s one in Melbourne, one in Alice Springs and then for the two extra boys, one is in
DONATIONS: Alison Marshall won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland. Melbourne, and one in the Gold Coast. Recently you won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland. How did
that feel? It was fantastic, it was absolutely great. It was wonderful to be recognised for something you do just because you enjoy it. How long have you been work-
LAWyerS
ing with the Blind Foundation? I’ve been there now for 23 years. Why have you stayed? It’s a fabulous organisation to work for, and it’s particularly in the area I work in, in terms of a national manner – for me that’s a really satisfying area of work. We straddle both working with members of the community and those who actively choose us as somewhere to volunteer with, and we get to work with clients as well. And the involvement of the volunteers means we’re able to do extra things. It’s the sort of stuff I feel makes a positive difference in those people’s lives. Is this a paid job or do you do volunteer work on top of that? The Blind Foundation national manager of volunteer services role is a paid job. So why did you choose the Blind Foundation? I had been a social worker and I had also worked with people with intellectual disabilities. And so when I first started working here it was just a really nice fit. It really brought in a lot of the areas I had been working in previously. I have a real interest in social justice, and making sure people who have disabilities have the same rights as others in the community. What different roles have you been in while working there? I started off as a part-time local volunteer co-ordinator and the job has just grown over the years. What does a normal day look like for you?

work recognised It has heaps of variety. A normal day can see me working with and talking with people right across the country, as well as with staff and volunteers at the Christchurch office. Do you have any standout experiences or stories from your time working there? I think at the moment one of the things is that I’ve been co-ordinating our two annual appeals here in Christchurch and that has been fantastic. It’s my fifth appeal. It’s a great way of meeting people. The appeals were, for a few years, organised out of Auckland. And then we decided things were settled enough in Christchurch to bring it back to the city. We really felt there was a local need. For me it’s been a great way to get to know the city again, and to meet new people. It’s fantastic to have their involvement and good will. Just today I’ve been talking to the malls and supermarkets, and the level of support from businesses across the city is truly
overwhelming. I understand you received a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the community in 2013. Was this to do with your work in the Blind Foundation? No, this was for my work I had been involved with at Volunteering Waikato, which is the local volunteer centre there. I’d been there for 21 years. I was also a member of the inaugural board, and had been the chairwoman of that for two separate terms. I have also been involved with Volunteering New Zealand and was the chairwoman of that for eight years. What do you like the most about being a volunteer street collector? I just like meeting people. It gives you the opportunity to talk to people about the work we do and spread the HELPFUL: Alison Marshall has been working with the Blind Foundation for 23 years.
knowledge about it. I think the Blind Foundation is a really well-regarded charity in New Zealand. What kind of reactions do you receive from people? I’m just blown away by people’s generosity. Sometimes in some places where you think people may not always have that much to give, it’s amazing just how generous people can be. It’s a great chance to talk to people about what we do. We know we have lots of people in the community who could use our services. When you have spare time, what do you do? I try to exercise as much as I can. At Christmas time we adopted a oneyear-old springer spaniel. So a lot of our spare time is taken up by walks. I think this is a great way to see the city, I like spots like the Port Hills, and around the river, and going to the beaches. And I love getting to meet other dog owners as well. What is one of your favourite spots in the city? I really enjoy The Beach Bar in Sumner, and sitting out on the deck there on a lovely, calm night. Summer or winter, just as long as it’s calm, and I can sit and watch the sun go down over the mountains. What are you looking forward to this year? We bought a house in St Albans last year, and so I suppose this year is about really settling into the house. We have great neighbours so this year is going to be about getting to know them a bit better, and getting to know a bit more of the community.

New additions to social housing for St Albans
Three new social housing units have opened in St Albans. The city council is pushing ahead with replacing its quakedamaged and red-zoned social housing, with three new developments under way in as many weeks. The city council held an opening ceremony with tenants, on Tuesday, at its Berwick Courts housing complex in St Albans. A total of 25 new units are scheduled to open between October and December this year across three of the city council’s existing complexes in Richmond, St Albans and Addington. The city council also has plans to start work on a further 16 units before the end of the year. City council chairman of the communities, housing

and economic development committee Andrew Turner said while the city council is building more social housing units, it is also raising the bar in terms of design and quality in the process. “The city council is building the type of housing that will contribute to our community’s well-being for many years to come. “Specifically, these homes will cater to people on low incomes, elderly persons and people with disabilities. “That means homes that are designed and purpose-built with them in mind – homes that are warm, healthy, energy-efficient, fit-for-purpose and built to last,” he said. All of the 25 city council units currently under way will have a 90-year lifespan and will achieve Lifemark accreditation.

Love of learning begins at home Parents, take heart. That’s the message from Ivan Leary, of NumberWorks’nWords’ Cashmere centre. According to Ivan there are many ways parents can make learning enjoyable for their children, without resorting to bribery or force. “Start by building a positive family culture toward learning,” says Ivan. “Show interest in school, take family visits to museums and, if you’re watching television together, use news, current events and documentaries to stimulate conversation.” Research shows that reading for pleasure is a major predictor of success in school. So Ivan recommends that children read daily. “Designating a family reading time – 20-30 minutes a day with no TV – shows that the whole family values reading.” The flip side of reading is writing. Email is fun because it generates responses, but a diary is a good alternative. Maths can also be fun, and surprisingly easy to practise every day. Board games and card
games are obvious ways to engage children in mathematical thinking. But so are many everyday activities: counting items, adding up costs and working out change when you’re shopping; timekeeping in the car or on the bus; measuring and fractions when you’re baking. Along with creating a great home environment for learning, these activities indicate how your children’s education is progressing. If they show weakness in any subject now is a good time to consider tuition, before problems take hold. Ivan says that’s where NumberWorks’nWords, specialist maths tuition and English tuition, comes in. Centres offer one-to-one tuition to all school-aged students, with unique programs individualised for each student and his or her goals. And “so much fun it doesn’t feel like learning”. For a free assessment and introductory lesson call NumberWorks’nWords on 33 22 033 (Cashmere) or Fraser at Burnside on 3587 917.

Spicing up
a winter’s night
Alvarado’s Mexican Cantina in Waltham is the perfect place to spice up your life on a winter’s night with its wonderful range of authentic traditional Mexican cuisine.
F
ollowing on from last year’s Fiesta Gastronomica, hosted in conjunction with the Mexican Embassy and world-renowned chef Mari Cármen Sáenz, Alvarado’s head chef Ana Flores has developed a fabulous new menu for the family friendly restaurant. In addition to the existing favourites, the new menu features an extended range of
beautiful authentic Mexican dishes including pozole (a traditional hominy stew), chiles rellenos (famous grilled stuffed chili peppers) and cochinita pibil (slow roasted pork dish marinated in citrus and achiote). For dessert, the churros, which are scrumptious deepfried doughnuts, and the lusciously smooth caramel flan are joined by the restaurant’s own mango ice cream, served in a honey coated
A TRUSTED FAMILY BUSINESS FOR OVER 35 YEARS
tortilla basket, a mouth-watering mousse de chocolate al tequila and the traditional Mexican favourite, patel de tres leches. The menu continues to offer an extensive range of vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options and has a child-friendly menu, making it the ideal place to cater for family celebrations. Alvarado’s is also a popular destination for lunches, whether it is a casual get-together with friends or a business meeting. They have a new lunch menu available everyday, and their spacious and roomy restaurant is also perfect for large groups. If you are not tempted by their wonderful selection of Mexican cuisine, you can also just pop in for drinks at the separate bar area with pool table, poker machines and live music, with the highlight being Friday nights with Latin music creating a lively atmosphere and lots of energy. The cantina and bar stocks a fantastic range of tequilas and specialty cocktails, including Alvarado’s famous margaritas.
Alvarado’s has provided its customers with divine Mexican food for over 30 years and is proud to be a well-known part of the city’s ethnic restaurants. This friendly, welcoming cantina is the perfect place to sample some truly delicious Mexican dishes made by Mexicans. Reservations are recommended for dinner by telephoning Alvarado’s Mexican Cantina on 374 4149. Alvarado’s is located at 77 Stevens Street, on the corner of Wilsons Road in Waltham.

St Patrick’s children Cobham pupils ace work hard in Lit Quiz police challenge St Patrick’s School has participated in the Canterbury Kids’ Lit Quiz at Cobham Intermediate. Around 64 teams from all over Christchurch took part. The top two teams would be given the chance to fly to the North Island to compete in the nationals, with the winner going to the grand final in the United States. St Patrick’s sent along two teams, who had spent their lunchtimes working hard in preparation. One of the two teams was only 12 points away from the top, but neither of the school’s teams made it to nationals. The questions were designed to challenge the children, with BRAINS: St Patrick’s School team members Sasha Uhrbom, Annabelle topics from spies and spiderBrinkhurst, Amy Henkeman and Caitlin Hill. man, to trains and toys.

Cobham Intermediate School pupils have come out on top in the New Zealand police physical competency test. Two year 8 teams were sent to English Park, St Albans, to compete in the Canterbury-wide challenge.

The pupils took out both first and second place, and will now travel to Wellington in November for the national finals.

T
racey Shewan from Koru Healing in New Brighton specialises in acupuncture and treats a broad range of conditions. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine where tiny needles are placed at particular points on the body to restore imbalances. “These imbalances disrupt the flow of qi (vital energy) through the meridians (energetic pathways running through our bodies). By restoring the balance, this stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself,” says Tracey. As the cooler weather approaches, Tracey can help clients with immune support, bronchitis and asthma. Acupuncture is also effective for many other health conditions including chronic pain, migraines, digestion, skin conditions, immune disorders and women’s health issues. “Tracey’s work with me has been

wonderful. She has helped me with calcific tendonitis in my shoulder as well as lower back and neck issues, and my energy is clearer and stronger,” says client Penelope. Tracey looks at the whole picture of her client’s health and at the root cause as well as the symptoms. “Stress and emotional issues can play a huge part in how a person is feeling and these factors are considered in treatment.” Tracey is also experienced in treating musculoskeletal conditions, such as back and neck pain, sciatica, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel and tennis elbow. Acupuncture is also used at the Koru Healing clinic to help and support people with cancer to complement their conventional treatments and reduce the impact of the symptoms caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy or following surgery. “Acupuncture can treat symptoms

HEALTH
Ladies, take care of your engines
Heart disease often presents very different symptoms in women than it does in men A popular social media meme maintains that “growing old isn’t for sissies”. Many older women will probably agree as they cope with genderspecific age-related issues such as osteoporosis and increased risk of breast cancer. Yet the greatest health risk women face as they age is one that predominantly affects men: heart disease. Globally, cardiovascular disease is the No 1 killer of women. And in 2011, the New Zealand Ministry of Health reported 2600 women died of heart disease in New Zealand. That’s more than seven a day – or about 50 each week. Heart disease takes many forms, says Dr Kevin O’Neil, chief medical officer at senior living company Brookdale. Coronary artery disease is the most prevalent. Plaque builds up in the arteries, constricting and sometimes blocking the flow of blood to the heart. This can damage the heart muscle over time and even contribute to a heart attack if a blockage occurs. Many risk factors for heart disease are particularly relevant to women. Because the onset of heart disease in women typically occurs a decade or more after men, many women
may assume they’re safe. Yet other bodily and environmental changes related to ageing can increase the risk, even among women who appear healthy. Risk factors of particular concern to women include: •Decreased oestrogen after menopause – “Oestrogen appears to have a protective effect” for heart health, O’Neil says. As oestrogen levels fall, the risk of heart disease can increase. •Inactivity - mobility and balance issues may make it difficult for senior women to maintain a healthy level of physical aerobic activity. •High blood pressure – as people age, blood pressure naturally increases. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for heart disease. •According to the Mayo Clinic, diabetes also increases the heart disease risk for women more so than men. Symptoms of heart disease and especially heart attack can be very different for women than for men, O’Neil says. “Heart disease symptoms in women are often what we refer to as ‘atypical presentation’. They may or may not experience pain, but may instead feel short of breath, nauseated or fatigued,” he

When heart disease leads to damage to the heart and/or heart attack, the damage can be severe and irreversible, O’Neil says. “We know that 25 per cent of people who have a heart attack, it’s their first and their last. And 75 per cent of women who experience a stroke or heart attack will not be able to return to their previous lifestyle. That’s why we place such an

emphasis on prevention. It’s better to prevent the problem from ever occurring.” Even if you have mobility and balance issues or other health problems, it is still possible to significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, O’Neil says. •If you smoke, quit. Smoking significantly increases your risks of heart disease and stroke, and quitting delivers immediate benefits – even if you’ve smoked for years. •Get active – at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. Women with balance and mobility issues may benefit from upper-body aerobics, swimming or other pool therapies. Walking, balance training, tai chi, yoga and dancing can be helpful, offering benefits for body and brain. “I always tell my patients, find something you’re going to enjoy and put some variety into your exercise.” •Monitor and control your blood pressure. Women whose blood pressure has historically been good may need only to get it checked once a year. •Stay connected – “Depression increases heart disease risks,” O’Neil notes. Staying in touch with loved ones can help combat depression and stimulate brain health. •For more information on heart disease and how to decrease your risks, visit heartfoundation.org. nz

DAILY BREAD
onions are golden or caramelised. Either way it’s worth it if you enjoy tasty food. You can cut the amount of fat used by covering the pot while your onion cooks — the lid collects moisture that would normally evaporate, and by returning this to the onion, it avoids burning.

GRASSROOTS SPORT ANZ netball grant applications It’s almost time for Christchurch’s keen netballers to be divided into teams and appointed their positions, with the 2015 season in sight. With all the action on the court about to heat up, players and teams at all levels are being asked to come forward and apply for support as part of the ANZ netball grant scheme. Belfast School was a previous recipient and these are open again for this year. The programme is offering $100,000 of grants for everything from new gear, uniforms and coaching support to repairs to hoops and courts, or even a training session with the ANZ Championship pros. School teams, social teams, individual players and fans are all eligible to apply. ANZ head of sponsorship Susan McGregor said all Christchurch netballers should have the opportunity to play their best. “For many, it can be a real struggle to keep up with all the gear required to train well and compete. We’re looking to reward players in need to get to the next level or those who simply have a passion for the game.” • Visit anzcourtside.co.nz by June 7 for the chance to receive a share of the grants.
Schools lose water polo finals to southern opponents
St Andrew’s swings to top FOCUSED: Will Spicer from Burnside High School, v Darling.
WINNING SHOT: Lawrence Darling of St Andrew’s College during his side’s win at the national mixed tennis tournament. St Andrew’s beat Hutt Valley High School in the final 6-0. Burnside High School finished third with a win over Wanganui Collegiate School 4-1. PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN READY: Holly Matson from St Andrew’s College.
Burnside and Christchurch Boys’ high schools both lost their finals of the South Island water polo championships in Invercargill. The Burnside girl’s side were defending champions and came up against St Hilda’s Collegiate School of Dunedin in the final. This was the second year running the two sides had met in the final but this year the outcome was reversed. St Hilda’s overcame Burnside winning 5-2. It was the first time the Dunedin school had won the tournament. It was a first win in the boy’s tournament for James Hargest College of Invercargill also as Christchurch Boys’ went down to them in a close final 4-3. The game was all tied up after the first quarter 0-0 before Boys’ High jumped out to a 2-1 lead at half time. They could not hold on to their lead in the second half as the home town team rallied to take back the lead 3-2 heading into the final quarter. Boys’ High could not get back in the match and eventually went down 4-3. Christchurch Girls’ finished seventh, St Margaret’s College eighth and Rangi Ruru ninth.

Weight management works When Jo decided to attend one of Remind’s weight management programmes last November, she knew she wanted to lose weight but she didn’t know how effective the techniques she learned would be.
S
ixteen weeks later and 15 kilograms lighter, her attitude to food has completely changed and she feels healthier and more positive. “The 10-week course was immensely helpful; I found I was an emotional and habitual eater, especially of junk food. If I got stressed, I reached for something to eat. The course helped me recognise this and gave me strategies to deal with it.” The programmes are run by NLP and selfhypnosis coach Rebecca Cragnolini, and some of the techniques that Jo learnt from her showed her how to break the eating
habits. Now, she says that she really enjoys good, healthy food much more and really appreciates what she eats. “Rebecca taught me to be a ‘mindful’ eater,” she explains, which has helped her to make realistic changes and new habits. Jo never feels she is on a diet, as she has in the past. Instead, she feels that she is living healthily yet still gets to enjoy treats and eat the foods she really loves. Rebecca says that it is all about balance, and the techniques can be used to help with stress management, too. The changes in Jo have been dramatic, and she says that
AFTER BEFORE before she even began to lose weight, people noticed that she seemed more alive. For Rebecca, it shows how powerful a tool the mind really is. Jo says that Rebecca’s sessions are interactive and enjoyable, but also respectful of the individuals who attend. “No one has to speak up if they don’t want to,” she says, “but it’s a really nice, supportive environment. It’s not about Rebecca giving us advice; it’s about finding out what’s meaningful to you. And it’s great that she is always available to help with the techniques we are learning along the way.” The next 10-week course begins on April 23, 2015. To book your place, ring 021 163 8543, visit www.re-mind.net.nz, or email info@re-mind.net.nz. You can also visit them on Facebook.com/remind.net.nz.

Knowing Your Rights
FRESH START: The New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty office at 182 Papanui Rd, Merivale.
Sotheby’s realty office reopens in Merivale New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty has reopened in Merivale, after being closed for more than three years. NZSIR lost its Victoria St offices in the February 2011 earthquake, and has recently relocated to Papanui Rd, Merivale. Co-founder and owner Mark Harris said at their Victoria St office, the company had made more than $25 million in central residential sales, in a short period before the earthquake hit. “We’re feeling really posi-
tive about re-establishing and expanding our presence in the city. Property sales are starting to look good again and the recovery is well under way – it’s a really exciting time to be in Christchurch, particularly in a new building that stands here as a statement to the regeneration of the city. “According to Christchurch Real Estate Institute of New Zealand data, sales in the $600-$999,000 price bracket have been increasing since January 2012 and continue to trend upwards. NZSIR specialises in sell-
ing quality properties in all price brackets, and it’s pleasing to be re-entering the market during a strong growth phase for Christchurch as a whole,” he said. The Merivale office is looking to expand agent numbers in the coming months. Co-founder and co-owner Julian Brown said this was a great opportunity for local licensees to take their careers to a new level. “We welcome anyone with experience and a high level of professionalism to get in touch.”
Being a guarantor Kaiya contacted us after finding she was on the hook for her ex-boyfriends debts, and wanted to know what she could do. It turned out that Kaiya had agreed to be a guarantor for her then boyfriend when he bought a TV and laptop on credit. Unfortunately, like many clients we see, Kaiya had not fully understood what being a guarantor meant. A common misconception is that being a guarantor is like giving someone a character reference, but it’s not; it’s actually agreeing to pay someone’s debt if they don’t or can’t pay it themselves. Guaranteeing a loan or other credit contract makes you responsible for paying the debt if the borrower doesn’t pay it. Being a guarantor is risky, so if you’ve been asked make sure you know what the risks and implications are. One key thing to know is that if the borrower doesn’t pay back the loan the lender is not required to seek payment from them first; they can just go directly to you
CONTRACT: Get independent legal advice before you sign any documents to be a guarantor. (the guarantor) and if necessary require you to sell any security that was included in the agreement. Another key thing to be aware of is that many guarantees are ‘unlimited’; this means that you are not just guaranteeing one particular loan, but also any future loans from the same lender. If you are asked to be a guarantor for someone, ask yourself the following questions: • Why do they need a guarantor (do they have a poor credit history? Is it likely they will have problems making the payments?) • Would you be willing and able to back the loan
(plus debt recovery costs) if the borrower can’t or won’t? • What would you list as security, and are you willing to risk having it repossessed if the money can’t be paid back? A contract to become a guarantor must be in writing and must be signed. Because of the risks involved in becoming a guarantor we recommend that you get independent legal advice before you sign any agreement. •To talk to one of our team about being a guarantor or to volunteer for Citizens Advice Bureau contact 0800 367 222

Paul Madsen returns to the Hornby Workingmen’s Club next Friday (10th April) with a tribute show combining two legendary acts - The Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. “The show will open with The Eagles Show,” said Paul. “With the recent appearance of the real thing in Auckland early March, Madsen Promotions thought it a logical choice of show for fans in Christchurch who didn't make it to Auckland…an affordable alternative!” Paul Madsen, runner up in ‘Stars in their Eyes’, is a respected singer/performer. He has been entertaining crowds nationally and internationally for over 25 years and is well known for fronting Madsen Promotions many tribute style shows.

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

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