Big pay rises for board members

BY GABRIELLE STUART

A big pay rise for community board members will allow more decision making within the community. Salaries will rise this year from $19,460 to $25,610 for community board members, and from $29,200 to $38,532 for chairmen and chairwomen. But they will be asked to take

on more work and make more decisions about roads, parks and funding in their areas. Shirley-Papanui Community Board chairman Mike Davidson said the rise would make a difference. Most community board members need to work a part-time or full-time job to pay the bills. But many have been working more than 40 hours a week on the boards, because of the extra deci-

sion making responsibilities they have had since the earthquakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a good step toward recognising the work community boards do as we take on a lot more responsibility and a lot more work,â&#x20AC;? Mr Davidson said. The pay rates are set by the Remuneration Authority, which controls pay for elected officials. But this year Mayor Lianne Dalziel asked the authority to skip pay

rises for the city council, and give them to community boards. She wanted to put more decision making in the hands of the community boards this year, in order to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;better community governance model.â&#x20AC;? Most decisions made by community boards at the moment need to be put to the city council for approval, which means they take a lot more time. â&#x20AC;˘ Turn to page 2

• From page 1 Mr Davidson said the change could also mean a greater variety of people can serve on community boards. “As it stands you can only get certain people putting their names forward. People who work part time or have flexible hours, or are retired, or housewives or house husbands. So the question is are we getting the best people for the role? And if they have a lot of other commitments, do they have the time to be effective?” He said the job would never be a lucrative one, and the main reward was the personal satisfaction of working in the community. But it needed to be enough to put bread on the table, he said. Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board chairwoman Val Carter said it would make a big difference for some of the members. Ms Dalziel and city councillors asked the authority not to give them any rise this year, but it did. Ms Dalziel will be given an extra $4950 a year, Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck will get $4626, and the city councillors $3900. But some have pledged to donate their pay rises to different causes. Mrs Carter said she was not aware of any community board members doing the same thing. That would be up to individuals, and was not something the board had discussed, she said.

▌IN ▌ BRIEF $1.6m cycleway work

Work on a $1.6 million section of a cycleway between Canterbury University and Hagley Park began on Wednesday. Matai St East has been cut down to one lane while it goes ahead, and there may be disruption on Deans Ave where new crossing lights will be installed. The work is scheduled to take three months.

Funding decisions delayed

Community funding decisions in the Fendalton-Waimairi ward have been delayed about a month, because of changes to the community board funds. Community projects, events and awards are currently funded both through the Strengthening Communities Fund and the Discretionary Response Fund. But they’re all expected to come out of the Discretionary Response Fund next year. That will be confirmed in the city council Long Term Plan later this month.

Pier problems resurface

Fantail (Piwakawaka)

BY KYLE KNOWLES The New Brighton Pier has been dogged by people breaking the fishing rules again. Public frustration flared up on social media over Queen’s Birthday Weekend at people ignoring the rules, and photos of them were posted on Facebook. They were spotted fishing in the no go zone, overhead casting and using more than one rod at a time, all of which is against the city council’s rules. Papanui resident Elaine Collins has been put off going to the pier by fishers. Mrs Collins said she used to enjoy going to the pier to watch the fishers pulling up their catch but with so many standing in the no fishing zone it was a horrible experience. “I actually like to see them, I just like to watch people fish. They are usually pretty good but I want it stopped, or another area for them to move to. We like to be at the front of the pier”. She said she could not get to the front of the pier on this occasion and when she asked them to move out of the no fishing zone a man threw a fish at her and her husband. New Brighton community leaders are now saying enough is enough and a permanent solution needs to be found to the flouting of the rules. New Brighton Business and

Email your thoughts in 200 words or less to kyle. knowles@starmedia.kiwi. Landowners Association manager Paul Zaanen said this has gone on for too long and it was time to knock it on the head. “Everyone has the same gripe, it can’t be that hard to put a solution in place. It has been going on for years. Frustrated people want to put solutions in place but it has gone in a roundabout between city council and community board”. The issue was raised at last week’s Burwood-Pegasus Community Board meeting

with members asking for city council staff to attend the next meeting to discuss what can be done. Board member Tim Sintes said they had installed signs and barriers but it has not worked and it was time to find a better solution. “Obviously there are a few people making it a bit difficult with flouting of the rules and four or five people with three or four rods each. It’s not good enough.” Fishers breaking the rules has been an issue at the pier for years. The city council polices the rules on the pier and the Ministry for Primary Industries enforces what the fishers catch. City council unit manager parks, Andrew Rutledge said a ranger is stationed there over

the summer months to monitor the behaviour on the pier but does not during the colder months. He said the city council would respond to an increase in complaints but there is no need to currently with few complaints being received. A MPI spokesman said they did not respond to any complaints last weekend. “There were no warnings given out last weekend. MPI have issued infringement notices (instant fines) at the pier in the past. All of these have been for people taking more than the daily recreational limit for paddle crabs (which is 50).” This comes after visitor numbers on the pier dropped 36 per cent in March 2015 from March 2014.

Forward Foundation: Letting girls At 19, Maddy Surie started the Forward Foundation to help girls achieve their sporting goals. Three years later, Forward Foundation ambassadors are working to coach girls around the country. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about rugby knockouts, pet food trends and getting pizza in China So why did you start the Forward Foundation? Actually, the idea started because someone told me I couldn’t do it. Anyone who knows me knows I don’t like to be told no! I played rugby all through high school, and the boys always got the better fields and better coaches. But it wasn’t until I was removed from playing and started looking in, that you realise how difficult it is and how unmotivated it is for the girls to be treated like that. So I thought maybe there’s a gap I can fill. And it’s not just rugby anymore, is it? No, we realised through our success that we could appeal to all minority sports, rugby wasn’t the only one that needed this kind of thing. We’ve now got 20 ambassadors, and they play all kinds of sport. One girl does artistic roller skating, and one does waka ama boat racing, so some are pretty different, but it’s their dream. When the girls apply to become ambassadors we asked them to say what they hoped to achieve for the sport, and it was this girl’s dream

to make waka ama an Olympic sport. They’re very ambitious girls. A lot of people have great plans and ideas, but many just never happen. What gave you the drive to actually do it? I’ve heard everyone has a million-dollar idea in their life but most people never act on it. All my life I’ve always been a doer. I think putting something into action is the most incredible feeling. And I’m lucky because I’ve also been surrounded by so many great mentors and great friends who are also doing fantastic things in the community. And my family has always supported me. So where are you at the moment? It’s the first year of the ambassador programme, so we’re still just trialling things at the moment.

I view it as an entrepreneurial charity, so you have to operate like a start-up as you get it going, and adapt to different situations like a start-up. We started just in Canterbury, but as it has spread nationwide we’re still just trying to give girls opportunities they would otherwise miss out on, just filling those gaps. The goal is to help girls get out and do things they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, and ultimately I’d love to get some scholarships going too.

Is this something you do as a job? No, I have a full-time job at a pet food company called K9 Natural, where I’m a product development officer. I know it seems completely random, but everything I have learnt here I’ve been able to take over to the foundation, so I’m really lucky to have this job and my growth here has been exponential. I believe charities should be run like a business. There’s a really fantastic talk on the TED

site, which I love. It’s about how, if charities operated like a business, how much more successful they would be and how much more they could contribute to the community. Pet food also came up in your postgraduate study, right? Yes, that was the subject of my dissertation for my honours. That’s actually how I got the job here at K9. I had a fantastic supervisor who placed me here for two weeks in a research position. After my two weeks, K9 offered me a marketing job, so I ended up working full time and studying full time and running the foundation too. It was a pretty full plate, but very rewarding. So did you learn anything interesting in your study of pet food? I did. I was studying pet food purchasing, and there were two really big trends. One is when people treat their pets as part of the family, so you see things like people buying birthday presents for their pet and spending a bit more than they probably should on them. The second trend is humanisation, where you see things like human food trends pouring over into trends for pets. I think New Zealanders usually see their pet as a pet, but they do tend to see them as part of the family. GOALS: Maddy Surie has always been passionate about sport, and started the Forward Foundation to help other girls achieve their ambitions too.

achieve ambitious goals in sport Tell me about your trip to China? Sure. That was through a course run through Canterbury University. We went over to Gongshang University, in Hangzhou, in what was sort of a university city there. There were 14 universities in the city, and about a quarter of a million university students living there. So we were teaching there in return for our board. I had one group I taught in particular which stood out to me. I was obviously speaking English to them, and encouraging them to talk. One girl asked what my favourite food was, and I said pizza. I don’t even know why, because it’s not actually my favourite food, but it’s the first thing that popped into my head. They said oh, we have a Pizza Hut here, so they took us to Pizza Hut for dinner. It was amazing because they don’t have much money at all but they were paying New Zealand prices for pizza. I begged them to let me pay, but they wouldn’t let me, even when one girl’s card declined. To be honest it wasn’t much like the pizza from home, but it was such a good example of how strong their culture and values are. When I left they made me this huge scrapbook, even though they barely knew me. It was a lifechanging experience. Do you think you could ever expand the foundation to other countries, like China? It’s definitely a possibility, but

TEAMWORK: Maddy began coaching the Forward Foundation girls’ rugby team after she got sick and was unable to play herself. I think we need to set up a good base here first. I’ve learnt you’ve got to set up the foundation, before you can build on it. You can’t try to expand too fast. How much of a role has sport played in your own life? It’s been huge. At school I was a sport nut, everything revolved around it. I was once playing rugby and someone pulled me backward, and I hit my head and I woke up on the sidelines. I had been playing since I was about six, but when that happened my parents said no more rugby, you’re done, choose another sport. I refused to stop, and eventually they came around to the idea

nothing would stop me playing. My first question at the Christchurch Girls’ High School open day was do you have a rugby team? Fortunately they did, or I wouldn’t have gone. Do you still play? I actually don’t anymore. I got very unwell at the start of the season with something called pulmonary embolism, which is where you get clots in your lungs. My case was very severe. I still can’t forget the doctor’s face when he told me I was lucky to be alive. I got really into coaching then because I couldn’t play. I could play again now, but I actually find it really rewarding, coaching. They

keep me young. If you get any free time, what do you like to do with it? Make time to catch up with those friends who really have a positive impact on me. I love TED, and I went to the TEDxChristchurch conference last year. It was one of those days that keeps you buzzing for weeks afterward. I have a thing for being around people doing great things. I also love the Port Hills. I love everything about it. It’s just a 10 minute drive from where I live, but you feel like you’ve stepped out into an isolated heaven. I make an effort to go there a few times a week for a run around the hills or

a walk with friends. A lot of people say Christchurch is too conservative to be a base for new things, and eventually you need to move to Auckland or Wellington. Do you think that’s true? Not at all. I can definitely see myself staying in Christchurch. I don’t agree at all with that, especially when we’ve seen so much going on here after the earthquakes. For example, the Epic Centre is completely based on innovation. I think Christchurch is the best place in the country right now to launch a start up or base new companies. Where do you see yourself in the long term? In 10 or so years I’ll definitely be running my own company. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was really young. And hopefully I’ll still be giving back to the community through the foundation. Where do you see the future of the foundation? I definitely see it growing, and the long-term goal has always been to provide scholarships. I think I would like to one day be just an adviser and a trustee, and help other people who want to make a difference. It’s about getting the right people on the bus. I need to get the right people on board, and then the world is my oyster. And the best way to get in touch? Definitely through our website – www.forwardfoundation.co.nz

Water management meeting includes new biodiversity projects The Waimakariri Zone Committee will meet in Rangiora today for its monthly meeting to address local water management issues, including in Kaiapoi. The zone committee will begin the meeting by giving members of the public the opportunity to contribute, before going on to receive a briefing from the Waimakariri District Council’s flood team on the flood event in June 2014, and the subsequent work that has been carried out in response. Following this, the committee will consider two new local biodiversity projects for Immediate Steps funding to enhance an area of swamp land and undertake riparian plantings. The Immediate Steps programme supports projects that protect and restore freshwater biodiversity values in Canterbury. There is still around $70,000 of funding to be allocated by the zone committee so if you have a project that could benefit from Immediate Steps funding visit www.ecan. govt.nz/biodiversity for further information and an application form. Next, the committee will receive an update from Environment Canterbury’s monitoring and compliance team as well as updates from the committee’s working groups and the progress being made to address water management priorities in the zone.

The committee will finish the meeting with two workshops, with the first focusing on an introduction to the limit setting processes being planned for the zone and the science supporting this, and the second focusing on the committee’s community engagement. In late April and May the Waimakariri Zone Committee held 10 community meetings around the district for people to find out more about local water management issues and provide their own feedback. The community meetings also introduced the sub-regional planning process (as part of the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan) that will begin for the Waimakariri district in 2016. The Waimakariri Zone Committee, formed in September 2010, operates as a joint committee of ECan, and the Waimakariri District Council. It features five community members as well as two Rūnanga representatives and two from councils. The zone includes the Ashley River catchment and shares the Waimakariri catchment below the gorge with the Selwyn-Waihora and Christchurch-West Melton zones. It includes Kaiapoi, Rangiora and Oxford.

International trade challenge GRASSROOTS SPORT Christchurch Girls’ High School J beat Cashmere for students Meeting the pros High School J 45-7 in their junior division 2 grading Four budding entrepreneurial stu-

dents have been selected to compete in the FedEx Express/Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge in Auckland next weekend. Danielle Ackland from Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, Jimmy Philip from St Andrew’s College, Emma Murdoch from Villa Maria College and Israel Lochhead from Hagley College, will join 76 other students from across the country to compete for one of six places in the New Zealand team, to compete at the Asia Pacific finals in Singapore in August. The FedEx/JA ITC is a forum for aspiring business leaders to gather and develop their ideas and then take them to the international market. The group of business-minded 16 to 19-year-olds has been selected to take part in the competition by the Young Enterprise Trust. The students will be placed in teams and asked to come up with a market entry strategy challenge in which they only have 20 hours to develop and respond, which includes a business plan, a product prototype and a multimedia presentation. The judging panel includes prominent businessman Stefan Lepionka (YET alumni and owner of Charlie’s juice company), entrepreneur Mark Eglinton, Marc Potter (NZ Harvard alumnus), Sunday Star Times business editor Jayne Atherton, and Dianella Ngakuru, FedEx country manager, New Zealand and Pacific Islands.

valuable gain for young netballer All eyes were on a young Burnside High School netballer recently as she stood alongside some of New Zealand’s best. Isabelle Chensem, got the chance to meet Tactix captain Anna Thompson and Magic captain Leana De Bruin and high-five each player as they ran out on court at Horncastle Arena after winning the ANZ Future Captains competition. She was joined by Ashburton netballer Natasha Waddell, 13. The match saw the Tactix beat the Magic in their first win of the season, 62-58. Isabelle said getting to meet the players was an amazing experience. “I got to high-five the Tactix players which was pretty cool. They’re my favourite team but I don’t have one favourite player so I got to high-five all of my favourites. I also got their signatures and got some pictures with the players after the game. It was amazing.”

The keen goal attack has been playing netball since she was seven and says she picked up some tips watching the pros in action. “I learned heaps from watching them. I saw that you can use other players in the circle to help feed in the ball when you’re going to shoot. The goal shoot really surprised me with all her moves. Hopefully I can try some of them.” ANZ head of sponsorship Susan McGregor said many young netballers dream to compete in the elite trans-Tasman tournament and being a Future Captain gives them a taste of what it is like. “We’re giving 62 children from across the country the chance to be a Future Captain at each of the ANZ Championship matches this season. It’s a once in a lifetime experience to stand out on court with the pros and hopefully it inspires a few players to keep training hard, it could definitely be one of them one day soon.”

Learning to swim offers health benefits for life

wimming is a popular and universal form of exercise that offers a wide range of health benefits, both physical and mental, and is an activity you can enjoy throughout your life. As a low-impact exercise, swimming is an ideal workout because it requires you to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. It improves and maintains cardiovascular fitness, builds muscle strength, helps maintain a healthy weight and improves flexibility, coordination, balance and posture. For those who would like to take up swimming for both health and enjoyment,

True

the Bromley-based McMillan’s Aquatic Centre (MACs) caters for everyone – from those who enjoy swimming regularly, even competitively, to those people who have never really mastered the skill and don’t feel confident in the water, but would like to learn. The centre, with its 20-metre, five-lane, heated indoor pool, has been owned and operated by Blair and Karen McMillan since 2009. Blair and his team of qualified tutors offer lessons for both children and adults from Monday to Friday, during the school terms.

AGING GRACEFULLY: Natural teeth for a gentleman patient in his 80’s

These stunning lovebite full upper and lower dentures have been expertly crafted by internationally-recognised dental technician Richard Greenlees at his Christchurch studio. The combination of Richard’s skill, experience (including 15 years in London’s prestigious Harley Street) knowledge and revolutionary techniques allow him to create beautiful bespoke false teeth that truly resemble those in nature and reflect each patient’s individuality and unique character.

Children’s lessons are from 3pm to 6pm, and adults’ from 1pm to 3pm and 6pm to 8pm. The adults’ lessons have proven to be so popular that the centre has added additional times, 7am to 9.30am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. One of the key aspects of the centre, Karen says, is that they focus on building strong relationships with families. “We take a holistic approach, and our staff get to know the families that come here really well. Many of the staff have been with the centre for quite some time so there’s a continuity of staff for our clients. And they are all committed to the style of teaching we offer.” Lessons are $13.50. Bookings and payments are made at the start of each term, with 10 lessons, one per week, costing $135. Small classes mean that swimmers get a lot of personal attention, Karen says. Lane hire is available for regular swimmers at $5.50 for 45 minutes. The casual rate is $7. A 10 per cent discount is offered for family groups of three or more. There are never more than two swimmers booked per lane. Providing a secure, private environment for swimmers, from beginners to pros, McMillan’s Aquatic Centre is located on the corner of Wickham and Francella streets (off Dyers Road). The carpark is off Francella Street. Phone 332 4617.

HEALTH

Vaccinations, hygiene can ward off flu We’re heading into the peak flu season and, for adults, coming down with the flu can translate to missed work and complications. Children risk missing school and, for younger children, complications related to the flu can be severe — sometimes fatal. So, how do you ward off the flu in your home to ensure everyone enjoys a healthy, safe and productive winter? It’s easier than you think if you follow these prevention tips.

reduces the risk of germ transmission.

Disinfect target areas

Disinfect commonly used items in your home such as telephones, remote controls, doorknobs and handles.

Don’t let your health habits slip if you contract the flu

A commonly held flu myth is that a person can get the flu only once during flu season. There are several different strain types of the flu virus, so it is possible to contract a different strain during the same season. Another common myth is that you can get the flu from the flu vaccine. The flu vaccine can’t give you the flu because it’s made with a weakened or inactivated virus or no virus at all.

Get vaccinated

Vaccination is considered the best preventive measure against the flu. In the event that you do contract the flu, talk with your health-care provider about starting antiviral treatment to help treat your flu illness.

Stock up ahead of time

Get plenty of sleep

Defending against the flu requires the right equipment. Make sure your home is full of tissues, hand soap, sanitiser and paper towels. Having these items in place can help prevent germs from spreading.

Review hand-washing techniques

Properly washing your hands is an effective way to prevent contracting and spreading the flu. When washing your hands, make sure to

ANNUAL: Vaccination is considered the best preventive measure against the flu. do so for at least 20sec. Tell children to sing Happy Birthday twice, which will ensure the full 20sec.

Don’t cup your coughs

Coughing into your hands during

flu season is a terrible way to risk virus transmission. If you have to cough or sneeze and you don’t have a tissue handy, doing so into your elbow is a much better option.

Get the paper

If you’re worried about contracting sickness or spreading it, switch to paper towels instead of using traditional hand towels shared by everyone in the household. This

One of the best ways to ward off or to recover from the flu is to ensure you are well-rested. Getting plenty of sleep gives your body time to recover and to combat illness, so avoid that urge to be a night owl. People of every age can contract the flu, and it is especially dangerous among seniors and children, so to help protect yourself and your family follow the tips above and talk to your health-care provider or pharmacist to find out if the flu shot is right for you.
