Graffiti: Down in Merivale; up in Fendalton BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD The amount of graffiti in Merivale has dropped, but it is bad news for neighbouring Fendalton. A survey to record where taggers are operating in the city has shown that tagging in Fendalton is on the rise. The suburb recorded its highest number of graffiti in four years increasing from 25 last year, to 50 this year. In Merivale, numbers peaked in 2014 rising up to 107, but have dropped back down to 62 this year. Other suburbs in the nor’west areas showed graffiti numbers dropping. Redwood showed a significant decrease, dropping from 580 in 2013, to 289 last year and dropping
further to 127 this year. St Albans and Edgeware had the highest recorded number of graffiti with 391, dropping from 428 last year. The data was gathered as part of the Annual Graffiti Scan which took place in February. It was the fifth city council scan completed, and is done yearly as a snapshot of the graffiti and to track trends within the city. The aim was to record where graffiti is so the city council could have it cleaned off, and to have a record of where taggers are operating. This year was the first time community watch patrols have been involved, and Crime Watch scanned the nor’west suburbs. •Turn to page 2

recommended “The Tannery be encouraged to provide taxi and coach parking facilities in their off-road car park if they believe there is sufficient demand”. Mr Hughes said the bus stop on the southern side of the road sat next to a cycle lane, and previously buses stopped for short periods of time having minimal effect on cyclists. “However, if this decommissioned bus stop was changed to long-term coach or taxi parking, as they would occupy the space for long periods of time, the cycle lane in this dangerous part of Garlands Rd would be denied to cyclists.”
The stop on the northern side of the road is outside a cycle shop and partly across its vehicle entrance, but because buses stopped for brief periods of time, it was acceptable. But if it was made into coach or taxi parking, the bus stop area would have to be shortened and could only legally fit one taxi. Mr Hughes said it would mean pedestrians would have to cross the road, which currently has no pedestrian crossings in close proximity. Board chairwoman Sara Templeton said Mr Hughes’ report was very clear and the board agreed with his assessment.
“Garlands Rd is not suitable.” The Tannery property manager Grant McIver said he could not comment on the outcome because he had not seen the minutes of the community board meeting. Meanwhile, the SpreydonHeathcote Community Board approved no stopping restrictions on Garlands Rd near its intersection with Opawa Rd. The no stopping restriction will run 65m along the northern side of the road from the Opawa Rd intersection and aims to increase vehicle manoeuvre space and solve the congestion problem.

Motorists on wrong side of road to get to petrol station BY KYLE KNOWLES A bid has been made to foil motorists driving on the wrong side of the road, near a major intersection. Flexi posts have been put in on Marshland and Prestons Rds, as a short-term measure to stop dangerous driving. Motorists have been driving on the wrond side of the road to get to the BP service station at the intersection. City council staff have observed drivers performing a U-turn at the end of each island and driving on the wrong side of the road to get into the BP service station on the corner. The report to the boards said: “It has been observed by staff that drivers have executed a right turn into the service station from Marshland Rd by driving around the end of the median island and along the wrong side of the road. Similarly on Prestons Rd, drivers have turned right, driving along the wrong side of the road and crossing over two lanes of approaching traffic.” To combat this flexi posts were installed 10m past the median barrier to curb drivers from making the U-turn but it did not. This lead to the flexi posts being extended to 20m past the

▌IN ▌ BRIEF Clarification
Last week the Nor’West News reported that Captain Underpants author Dav Pilkey would be visiting Shirley Boys’ High School on May 22 at 1.30pm for a public event. This was incorrect. It is not a public event and schools need to book in to attend. The public event will be held at Fendalton Open-air School on May 23 at noon, bookings for this are essential and can be made through The Children’s Book Shop on 366 5274 or mary@ childrensbookshop.co.nz

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN traffic islands which has been successful. The intersection was previously a roundabout which was removed and traffic lights installed. Right turn movements into and out of the service station were restricted when approval was
given for the intersection upgrade by the city council, and it was intended that the median islands would ensure people did not undertake these turns. In 2010 before lights were installed, staff observed 19 cars on the Marshland Rd approach turn-
ing right into the BP in a single day. After the lights were installed this jumped to 24 cars. When the 10m flexi posts were installed this dropped to six and when they were extended to 20m one car was seen U-turning around the posts.
The city council is holding two drop-in information sessions in east Christchurch about stage two of the Christchurch Replacement District Plan. The first is on Thursday at The Palms Shopping Centre outside Countdown from 9am-9pm with the other one on May 21 at the New Brighton Club between 3.30-6.30pm. The drop-ins have a casual format and the public is welcome to call in at any time during any session. The city council will have a team of planners at each drop-in who will be able to discuss how your property will be affected.

Providing sporting opportunities tion on a Tuesday but it is never really a social game. I play tennis in the summer as well as touch rugby and I like to mountain bike a bit and go to the gym, a bit of everything really and a bit of golf too. It is nice to be involved in sport after work Did you play sport growing up? Yes, I grew up born and bred in Ashburton and always played at school. I guess I grew up in a family that played a lot of sport. Then I went to university in Dunedin and continued to play there and then I started working but always tried to play something to keep active. Did you ever play for any representative sides? No I didn’t. I play for the love of the game and the fun and being in a team and being with friends. You also play a big part in the New Zealand Chinese Association don’t you? Yes. That’s right. I’ve been on a few of the tournament organising committees that organise a big sports tournament which happens every four years and can be from 300 to 500 people from all around New Zealand. That’s been going the last 63 years. It goes around Dunedin, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington and it is a great way of fostering sporting cultural side of things for the Chinese community. This year, Canterbury won the open women’s title at the tournament in Dunedin.
If your child has played sport at high school in Christchurch, chances are it was organised by School Sport Canterbury and assistant regional sports director, Angelina King. Reporter Kyle Knowles chats to the Avonhead resident about what her role involves, travelling the world and lining up at 5am in the morning to get into the Wimbledon tennis championships. What is your role in Christchurch sport? I’m in an office with two others and we run secondary school sport for Canterbury and the West Coast region, including Kaikoura High and Ashburton – partners who can choose to go with us or not. We go across to Mt Hutt and then over to the West Coast who we offer a service to and they are part of our region so they can come over and participate in our events. We also go over there to run events and coach and do sport development so they don’t miss out. We also run the country schools up in Amuri, Oxford and Hurunui. That is a lot of ground to cover then? Yeah there are about 56 schools including all those small schools. Is it difficult covering such a large area? Not really. For example our weekly netball competition we have, just got entries for that with 166 teams being entered. Much of our role is a co-ordination one rather than covering that wide area.
How long have you been working with School Sport Canterbury? This is my 11th year. I started in 2004, it’s been a long time. Have you enjoyed it? Yeah absolutely. I love the job as I see so much pride in a student representing their school in their school colours, while playing sport and the values behind education and sport. I guess the role has changed a bit for me too. I am not just doing event management things now but also do student officiating and coaching sessions and organising those for the students. We work with the coaching advisors at Sport Canterbury and have the CoachForce regional organisations which have coaches in those sports which we use in schools. That’s really good to see
BIG JOB: Angelina King at Pioneer Stadium, where she has helped organise a number of sporting competitions in her role at School Sport Canterbury. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN as they are our future sports stars. What do you enjoy about it the most? The variety. I think the variety of sports and working with the other people including the venues and city council people and facilities and stadium people. I guess we’re all on the same page trying to provide a sporting opportunity
for those kids and also the schools themselves. There is so much choice for students and that is pretty awesome we have anything from archery to surfing. Do you play sport yourself? I play basketball twice a week. I play for a Chinese club which plays on a Sunday and I play a supposedly social mixed competi-

for kids That must be a good feeling for you being able to help organise such an event? Yes it is and I try to use some of my knowledge around the region with the city council and other associations which I can tap into and use and make an event run smoothly. You said you were from Ashburton? Tell me a bit more about your roots. Yes, I was born there and attended Ashburton College. My grandparents came here in 1929. They came from Guangzhou, China and we have been here ever since. What did you do before joining School Sport Canterbury? I worked at the city council in the events and promotions area and then I went overseas on a typical OE for 18 months where I was based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and worked for the local council over there too. It was a good chance to travel and good to get to a lot of sporting tournaments including Wimbledon and Roland Garros then going to the US Open too. Wow so you have been to all of the tennis grand slams? Yes I have been to all of them including Roland Garros twice and I have been to Melbourne for the Australian Open four times. I have also been to the British Open when Tiger Woods played at St Andrews when he was world No 1. I also did a year over in Canada. It
was really good to experience the other side of the world. What is your favourite sporting event you have been to? Wimbledon, that’s pretty different and is very traditional. Lining up at 5am to get the first tube to the Wimbledon and then lining up again for tickets at 6am in the morning is special. The time I went, I missed out on getting a seated ticket by five people but I still got in and it was awesome. What is something you would like to go to? I would love to go the Rugby World Cup this year in the United Kingdom, but that’s just a dream. I went to the World Cup when it was in the UK 1999. I went to Murrayfield to watch the All Blacks play Scotland. It is always cool to go to All Blacks games in different countries. After being so well travelled, you must have a favourite destination? One would have to be a trip to South Africa. I did a safari two years ago and that was mind-blowing and I would love to go back. What do you like to do away from work and sport? I enjoy catching up with friends and family and going to cafes and restaurants, hanging with friends, a bit of cooking; photography and travelling and experiencing different cultures and countries.

First Ballantynes fire engine is back RESTORED: Vehicle collector Thomas Grace found this vintage fire engine rusting in a paddock 10 years ago, and donated it to the Ferrymead Heritage Park Hall of Flame Fire Museum. The engine has since been restored by volunteers, and he was able to drive it through the streets this week from Ferrymead to the Woolston Fire Station. The engine was the first on the scene of the 1947 Ballantynes fire (right), and was also used at New Brighton, Sydenham, and Lyttelton fire stations. It is now on display at the museum.

PAPANUI HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER SPORTING SUCCESS
Greetings, Tena Koutou Katoa,
The school year is now well underway and we are very pleased with the progress our students are making. Our commitment to sustained improvement stems from on-going reflection, review, and innovation. We are working hard to build a culture of continued success and are proud of the results we are achieving.
This year the annual sPACPAC Polyfest was held at Westminster Park. This was the first time it was held outdoors and it drew a very large audience. Papanui students represented the school with a stunning performance led by Diana Elisara and Ben Tuetue.
s This is evident from last year’s NCEA results where our student ding outstan the are g pleasin did themselves proud. Particularly g results from our Year 12 students, with 87% of them achievin at d achieve highest the also Level 2. The Level 3 results were g the school under NCEA. Our staff are very conscious of ensurin these and ability, their of that students achieve to the best results are a reflection of that effort and commitment which has also been backed up by the students themselves. As a school we have high expectations, and are striving to ensure that each student reaches their potential. One ic significant way we support this is through the annual Academ Counselling Conference Day (Thursday 30 April). The conference is designed to assist in raising student achievement. When students are actively aware of their own achievement and academic goals, they have greater ownership and responsibility of their success. Together with their form teacher, this day was attended by approximately 90 percent of our students and their parents/whanau/caregivers. I would like to thank them for in their involvement. The inclusion of this support is paramount the both of ment commit the student success and indicative of school and community to raising achievement. for We are proud that Papanui High School is a school of choice nity. commu our local The roll has grown by approximately 40 students from the last year, with a total roll of about 1580. Of particular note was the increase in numbers in the senior school; a reflection of both retention rate and students moving into our school zone, or changing schools to take courses that more reflect their needs. . Open night will take place next Tuesday 12 May, from 7.00pm This event gives us an opportunity to warmly invite our wider community into the school, to see what makes Papanui High School such a wonderful place for students to learn. We pride ourselves as being a learning centre that strives to meet the educational and social needs of all its students, and as such, provide a platform that fully equips our students to take their place in the world. It is important that our prospective Year 9’s for 2016 get an opportunity to see and talk to students and staff about the school and experience the positive relationships and ethos of caring that contributes to a culture of inclusion and high expectations that we value. The school has just completed a very busy and engaging Term 1. There have been many successes, and our students and staff can feel proud of what they have achieved already this year. I hope you enjoy reading a sample of some of our highlights, points of interest, and upcoming events. Jeff Smith Principal
EDUCATION REVIEW OFFICE VISIT Late last year the Education Review Office (ERO) visited the school to review our current practice, and to see what has changed since their previous review in 2009. An ERO school report answers the question “How effectively is the school’s curriculum promoting student learning – engagement, progress and achievement?” We are very proud of the outcomes nd invite you to read the full review on the ERO website http://www.ero.govt.nz/EarlyChil...rts/Papanui-High-School-08-10-2014.
SPEECH WINS GALLIPOLI TRIP Congratulations to Year 13 student, Katie Mills, who won the Canterbury final of the ANZ RSA Cyril Bassett VC Speech Competition. Her speech “The Other Anzacs” detailed the heroic efforts of New Zealand women during World War I. Katie travelled to travel to Turkey to attend commemorations marking 100 years since the Anzac landings at Gallipoli.
ANZAC DAy Special assemblies were held for our junior and senior students to commemorate the 100th landing of the Anzacs on the Gallipoli Peninsular. This was a student led assembly and all the students who took part, volunteered their time to do so. There were speeches, performances by the Concert Band, and Kapahaka, who performed a specially written waiata “Karipori”. After the playing of the last post, students and staff were invited to place their poppy at the remembrance tree, donated by RSA speech winner, Katie Mills.

Further asbestos testing for church rubble BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
The Sydenham Heritage Church rubble on the corner of Colombo and Brougham Sts looks likely to remain until further testing confirms there is no asbestos on the site. The Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board has made a request to city council staff to provide advice on further asbestos testing of the church rubble. The board would like to find out what definitive and robust asbestos testing can be done at the site to determine the best way to clear it. In April last year, the Canter-
bury Earthquake Recovery Authority contracted PDL Partners to undertake testing of the material on site, and the results were sent to the trust. The following month, city council documents revealed traces of asbestos and lead paint had been found on the surface of the rubble. But asbestos tests conducted by the Sydenham Heritage Trust before Christmas showed no trace within the rubble. Trust chairwoman Dorothy Haywood said she would be lying if she did not say the wait was frustrating. The trust’s testing, taken 30cm into the rubble was clear, she said.
“Exclusive range of pottery, furniture, handcrafts, stoneware & gifts”
“I don’t believe there is asbestos in the building.” She said the trust had received confirmation from the architects and the company who had previously done strengthening work on the building that there was no asbestos in it. The church was built in 1877
when asbestos was not used, and it barely had any work done on it since, she said. “I believe it’s wind-blown asbestos.” She updated the community board on the progress last week, which prompted the board to request the advice. “Any positive action is a step in the right direction.” She said the trust would dearly love to see the site cleared but did not know when it would finally happen. “You think you know these things, but you don’t know how long anything takes these days.” Meanwhile, the trust and the
Friends of Sydenham Trust have been working together to keep the site tidy, she said. The Sydenham Heritage Church was badly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake and demolished shortly after, but there was confusion over who called for it to be torn down. The site has been covered in rubble ever since. Community board member Helene Mautner said the removal of the rubble was made difficult with the trace of asbestos found. “We are going to take action. “It’s a matter of getting the right information so we can move on with it.”

St Andrew’s netballers on hunt for success BY KYLE KNOWLES St Andrew’s have had a disrupted start to their netball season but are looking to emulate the success of 2014. Coach Kirsty Carline said getting all the girls together with the crossover of summer sport to start preparations has proved difficult. “With summer sports that have gone on (into autumn) we’ve only just really started now into our preparation but we are really excited about the season and have a young team with lots of new players and skill.” They finished second to St Margaret’s in last year’s SuperNet competition and are looking to stay in the top two this year. Carline said they have four players back from last year’s squad and the majority of the side are year 11s and 12s but are all very promising with a lot of skill. “We’ve got two captains, goal defence, Holly Carr and centre Romana Bell. They’re both year 13 players that will give the team a lot of maturity and leadership. Carr is head girl of the school too with a lot of leadership skills. “We’ve also got Kelera Nawai who can play goal keep and goal shoot. She is really tall and she’s a good target for the feeders into the circle and quite a presence on
READY FOR ACTION: St Andrew’s 2014 netball squad of which four have returned for this season.
court.” Carline said the keys to her side’s success was to be accurate through-
out the court and being relentless on defence. Villa Maria join St Andrew’s in
SuperNet after qualifying for it last week and believe teamwork will see them go far in the competition.
Coach Emma Southen said they have a team first approach and they make sure the team is first in everything they do. She said it was good to get through qualifying and into the premier grade as well as being good practice for the side who have been able to build connections through the court. They have five girls returning from last year’s squad and captain Maddie Gill is one to watch. “She has been in the team for three years now and she is providing great leadership on and off the court.” Southen said year 12 player Georgia Freeman is an up-andcoming star of the game and will be a key player for them in the middle of the court. Former Canterbury Tactix coach Helen Mahon-Stroud is helping out the team as a specialist coach and Southen said it was great to have someone with her experience on board. First up for Villa Maria on Wednesday will be one of the top three seeded sides, Cashmere High. St Andrew’s and Villa Maria join Avonside Girls’ High, Ashburton College, Rangiora High, Cashmere High and one more team which was to be found in qualifying over the weekend. •More sport, pages 11 & 13.

Badminton work recognised
SCHOOL SNAPSHOT
BY KYLE KNOWLES John Morrish has been awarded the New Zealand Badminton administrator of the year, the first Cantabrian to do so. The Badminton Canterbury board chairman was presented the award at a function in Auckland during the Sky City Open held last weekend. He said he was chuffed to get the award after leading the organisation through some tough times and getting badminton back on track in Canterbury. “Canterbury Badminton has been in the doldrums the last 10 years and I came back on to the board last year. It has been going downhill for 10 years so we employed Selwyn Maister to do a review and he identified the problems we had. “So we developed a new strategic plan last year and to implement it we needed to do a restructure. Our general manager was stuck in the office and not getting around the schools promoting the sport. We changed that role and employed a coaching and development manager.” Overseeing this new direction for the sport in Canterbury is what Mr Morrish was awarded the prize for and said it was good recognition for the changes which had happened in Canterbury.

Young fencer chosen as ambassador
NOT TASTY: When left in a microwave for too long, popcorn can quickly go from cooked to burnt.
Rangi Ruru’s Ashleigh Goh has been selected as a New Zealand Forward Foundation ambassador after impressive results in fencing.
Where there’s smoke, there’s not always fire
The role is to help encourage girls in minority sports and raise the profile of those sports in New Zealand. Ashleigh has had a successful year in fencing winning a bronze medal at the New Zealand under-17 fencing championships over Easter Weekend in Dunedin. From these results, Ashleigh was again selected for the New Zealand team to take part in the Australian under-17 championships in Sydney during the July school holidays. In her debut year in the competition Ashleigh was the top Kiwi in the Australian under-15 women’s epee event, placing a credible eight out of about 20 competitors. Rangi Ruru’s director of sport, Jo Fogarty said Ashleigh is an exceptional young woman, and athlete, and Rangi Ruru is very lucky to have her as a role model at the school and in the wider community.
BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER
Quite a few people reported a small truck on fire on the northern motorway in Belfast last Thursday. Crews responding found it wasn’t a fire, just a vehicle with major motor problems belching clouds of black smoke. We commiserate with the owner. Sounds expensive. Any parents whose small children end up locked inside a car, must immediately fear, not only for the kids, but also for the suspicion some folks will have that somehow they’ve neglected their family. In most cases this is far from the case and deeply-concerned parents try to convince the littlies to unlock the doors without somehow starting the car. Riccarton Ave was the scene last Saturday. Two kids in a car.
NEW ROLE: Rangi Ruru’s medal winning fencer Ashleigh Goh who has been made a new ambassador of the Forward Foundation.
Two parents frantic outside. Enter green watch rescue crew from city station. Ten minutes later all is good and happy children are released to even happier parents. We go on and on about unattended cooking. Students in the boarding house of one of the city’s finest schools last Friday need to understand this includes popcorn in microwave. Left on too long, the corn went past popping to burning. It caused fire alarms to activate and two fire crews to respond. Stay at the microwave girls, it’s only a minute or so and you can rescue your snack well before the need for any fire trucks. In the early hours last Sunday a resident of Halswell, saw smoke rolling around the Port Hills. It looked huge. They reported it. Thankfully, the responding crews found only sea fog.

MAKE no mistake, investing is a tough game and one that is extremely unforgiving. However, following this checklist may help make it easier. Time Very few investments will work well if you don’t give them time. For example, a balanced portfolio needs five to seven years for best results. Short-term trading and speculating is different and can be very risky unless it is your chosen profession (and even then, it’s still risky). Work out an asset allocation that meets your risk profile Decide if you are going to have 33 per cent bonds, 33 per cent property and 33 per cent shares. Or 25 per cent bonds, 50 per cent property, and 25 per cent shares. There are many variations and combinations - decide on one and stick to it. Rebalance regularly Allow a tolerance of, for example, 5 per cent and then rebalance. It is an essential discipline and yet a simple tool too. Rebalance or pay the price. Buy quality Junk bonds and certain properties may pay a higher yield, but if they do the risk will be higher. The NZ Super Fund just lost $200 million investing in a Portuguese bank - a classic junk bond.

Simple Living well can be as simple as adjusting your routine to add more exercise and nutrients WE ARE more concerned than ever before about living a healthy lifestyle. However, implementing dietary changes and adopting an exercise routine can prove to be overwhelming. A recent Gallup poll found that nine out of 10 consumers say they try to include fruit and vegetables on their plates, but they are not necessarily succeeding. “Simple everyday swaps can make the difference in achieving a healthy lifestyle,” says registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, author of The Flexitarian Diet. “We live in a busy society, and no one diet fits all.

Experts gather in Christchurch to discuss stroke-related issues Close to 100 experts, engineers, physiologists, clinicians, medical academics and students from around the world will discuss the impact of new technology on helping recovering patients at an international stroke rehabilitation conference in Christchurch.
K
eynote speakers from the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand will talk about neuroscience and neural recovery, clinical research and commercialisation. The May 10 to 12 conference is being hosted by the University of Canterbury Rose Centre for Stroke Recovery and Research at St George’s Medical Centre. The conference is the only one of its kind in New Zealand to target stroke rehabilitation specialists with a focus on applied biotechnology. Strokes cost the New Zealand health bill about $450 million a year. The Rose Centre’s deputy director Dr Phoebe Macrae says there is increasing need for novel and innovative treatments to reduce the

burden of strokes, such as mortality, pneumonia and dehydration. “Research has shown that Maori and Pasifika people in New Zealand have a much higher incidence of suffering a stroke than their European counterparts. This research also highlights that the average age of stroke is significantly younger in these populations, by an average of 10 to 15 years. Twenty-five percent of people who recover from their first stroke will have another one within five years. “At any point in time, there will be over 32,000 New Zealanders who have survived their initial stroke but are living with the disabilities arising from a stroke. These people require ongoing and intensive

rehabilitation to improve their quality of life. “Factors such as unhealthy diet, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking and lack of physical exercise will also result in a higher prevalence of stroke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and a common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. The incidence of stroke in New Zealand is high compared to other developed countries with over 9000 new stroke events each year and over 2500 deaths attributable to this condition. “At the university’s Rose Centre, we are focusing on addressing all aspects of poststroke rehabilitation. We want to develop and provide clinical services for stroke patients that meet patients’ clinical needs and also allow patients to contribute to research that will help others. We are looking to create bioengineering applications that will facilitate recovery by allowing patients greater access to intervention techniques.”
