AN earthquake-damaged church in South New Brighton can now be turned into a community hub after more than 2000 people voted for it to get vital repairs.

Over 18 months Te Waka Aroha South Brighton, a community organisation, will turn the Bridge St Baptist Church into not only a hub, but also a cafe and performing arts stage.

It was made possible after it won a competition run by SmartLift, a relevelling specialist company, which is offering up to $150,000 of repairs to the church’s floor.

Te Waka Aroha won after more than 2000 people voted on Facebook for the group to receive the money. It is based at the South Brighton Community Centre.

The church was closed after the February 22, 2011, earth-quake.

For Te Waka Aroha volunteer Jane Harrison it was a long night on Tuesday as she watched the votes. She fell asleep, before learning the group had won.

“We received over 2200 votes for us, when there’s only

1500 households in South New Brighton,” she said.

Mrs Harrison said without the money, the project would be “completely unrealistic.”

She said she knew the com-munity wanted them to win when she looked at the number

of votes they received.The next stage is to get work-

ing on consents with the city council, with an architect and project manager already on board, she said.

“We want to run pop-up restaurants, cafes, make it

somewhere to get something to eat and drink, have local bands on the big stage, we could have comedy nights and an open mic night, and adult education classes . . . the community has 100 ideas, we just needed a place to do them,” she said.

CONTACT US Moving can be a pain – but at least two Environment Canterbury staff members felt it more than most when the regional council shifted into its new Tuam St offices in April.

Within the first two weeks, one person walked into the glass surround of the revolving door on the ground level, receiving a bruised temple and a headache.

A second person walked into the glass balustrade on the ground floor stairs bruising their upper arm. Both were put on light duties for two days.

ECan spokeswoman Katherine Trought said moving 406 staff into a new office building was a little like moving into a new house, “where you bump into things until you work out how to navigate your way around.”

Today we celebrate those among us who have achieved something special. The Queen’s Birthday Honours List has been released and on it are a few familiar faces. See the list on page 6.

Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton is also someone adding value to our community. She made the shift from training as a lawyer after the February 22, 2011, earthquake to using art as a therapy to reduce social isolation. Read about her in Our People.

Earlier this year people were di-vided when the central city speed limits were reduced to 30km/h. Now the city council has released a number of suburban streets where the speed limits could change. See what roads could be affected on page 4.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON?: Father and son pair Oliver and Grant Stewart got involved with the recent Be Bald or Be Bold event. More than $10,000 was raised at the recent hair-raising event at The Palms Shopping Centre. The money raised will go towards funding University of Otago research into the genetics behind cancer. A group of mothers set up Research, Education and Awareness of Child Cancer and Hematology, or REACH, after their own children were diag-nosed with cancer. The purpose of REACH is to raise funds for more research that will improve treatments and increase survival rates. REACH is calling for more research into tar-geted treatments, and is currently working with Professor Parry Guilford of Otago University.

RAWHITI GOLF Club has continued its amazing recovery from almost being shut down by the city council, by now being invited to host an international tournament.

The club received an email recently proposing it be a host course for the Christchurch Casino Golden Oldies Sports Celebration 2018, to be held in the city.

Rawhiti Golf Club president Mene Mene said the invitation was a credit to the whole club.

“It’s quite exciting for the club, things are looking up for the east. After all the things that we went through to save the course, it’s now coming into fruition. I’m just so proud of the club, it is leading by example,” he said.

Only a few years ago, the club was on the brink of being shut down by the city council, after posting a loss of nearly $200,000 in 2014.

But, thanks to smart financing by the club, it was given a 25-year lease by the city council to continue operating.

Christchurch manager for the event, Mike Godinet said a “blanket letter” was sent to

all golf courses in the city, but they would only select the best four.

“We have not made any deci-sions yet as to who will host, we’re speaking to them all. Maybe half a dozen clubs have returned the letter registering their interest, for the tourna-ment in April 2018,” he said.

Mr Mene said the tournament looks like it will be a big positive for the club, if it is selected.

“It’s being held in Christch-urch, and I’ve heard there’s

about 500 golfers coming to the city for (the tournament),” he said.

Mr Godinet said the event would draw thousands of visi-tors.

“We’re looking at a minimum of 400 golfers, and probably 12,000 people coming to watch,” he said.

Other courses in the east that have been approached by Golden Oldies, are Avondale, Waitikiri, Christchurch, Waimairi Beach, and Bottle Lake.

Boost for golf club

BIG CHANCE: Rawhiti Golf Club president Mene Mene received an invitation for the club to be a host course for an international tournament in 2018.

A couple of weeks ago I was one of a handful of adults who got to attend a UNICEF Youth For Change Conference that was held here in Christchurch.

A team of four young people put this event together and there were 70 other young people in attendance.

There were a range of speakers,

including the Youth Advisory Group for a collaboration project I help out with called Child and Youth Friendly Christchurch.

The YAG were there consulting with the participants about what they think it is that makes a city youth-friendly.

An amazing example of young people providing a space for young people to consult with other young people about things important to them and our city.

It would be great to see more of these events and more publicity of these events so all young peo-ple get a chance to attend.

There’s a group in Christchurch called Youth Voice Canterbury

who are a network of young people and youth participation groups.

A few weeks ago they pulled a diverse group of young people together to chat with the city council senior staff and elected members about what’s important for youth in our city.

It showed a real willingness by the city council to engage with young people, and those young people felt listened to and valued.

Although this was well sup-ported by the city council, it was pulled together and facilitated by young people who wanted to participate.

These sorts of opportunities are

valuable both for the people mak-ing decisions about Christchurch, but also for the positive develop-ment of our young people.

At the moment Youth Voice Canterbury are organising the first Canterbury Youth Awards.

Nominations closed earlier in the week with 81 nominations being received.

The idea is to create a culture of celebrating young people.

I think it would be fantastic to see this event and others like it promoted positively in media outlets for both the public and the youth of Christchurch.

I understand that there are real issues for young people in our

communities, and these need to be discussed and addressed. But what I want is for us to ensure that we’re spending just as much energy giving our young people opportunities and celebrating their successes, because the youth are the future of this city. If we want to see our great city continue to grow and to thrive post-quake, then we need to have involvement from those who will be there to grow it.

Canterbury Youth Workers Collective co-ordinator Penny Prescott says for post-quake city to thrive there needs to be involvement from young people.

SPEED LIMIT changes proposed by the city council are trying to find the balance between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists according to a traffic expert.

Every three years, speed limits on streets are reviewed, this year 27 have been proposed to have lower limits installed.

In March the speed limit for the heart of Christchurch’s CBD was changed to 30km/h to provide safer, more user-friendly and enjoyable ways for people to travel.

Canterbury University traffic expert Alan Nicholson said while he supports the proposed chang-es in the city centre, the haste they are being pushed through could face a public backlash.

“It is great to find a balance between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists but if you push cars out quickly from the city centre people could get irritated and not support it,” he said.

He was also concerned about the drastic change to some speeds on roads in the wards.

“Some of the speeds will go from 100km/h to 50km/h. They possibly should have been changed in the past now they have a drastic change,” he said.

Twelve roads in the Riccarton-Waimairi Ward have been pro-posed to have lower speed limits, seven roads in the Fendalton-Waimairi Ward, four in the Shirley-Papanui Ward, and one each in the Burwood-Pegasus and Hagley-Ferrymead Wards.

Some of the roads proposed run between two wards and have been counted twice such as Pound Rd.

These are mainly in new growth areas where the speed limit of a once rural road is no

longer considered safe in expand-ing residential and commercial zones.

The city council is also pro-posing to extend the inner-city 30km/h limit, which came into effect on March 12, to include sections of St Asaph St and Hagley Ave.

Riccarton-Wigram Commu-nity Board chairman Mike Mora said lowering the speed limit on those streets is what the public wants.

“We welcome the triennial re-view of speed limits. We have iden-

tified some roads we think need to be addressed, so have the public and city council staff,” he said.

Following the consultation process city council staff will consider all feedback and prepare a report for community boards who will make a recommendation to the city council who makes the final decision.

The speed limit changes consultation runs from May 31 to June 21 on the city council’s website under the Have Your Say page.

Major speed limit changes proposed

Proposed road speed limit changes by ward: Riccarton-Wigram Ward - Avonhead Rd, Carrs Rd, Halswell Junction Rd, Jessons Rd, Marshs Rd, Murphys Rd, Owaka Rd, Pound Rd, Quifes Rd, Roberts Rd, Waterloo Rd, Whincops Rd, Wigram Rd and Wilmers Rd.Fendalton-Waimairi Ward - Grays Rd, McArthurs Rd, McLeans Island Rd, Pound Rd, Ryans Rd and Stanleys Rd.Shirley-Papanui Ward - Belfast Rd, Blakes Rd, Greywacke Rd and Highsted Rd.Burwood-Pegasus Ward - Dunlops Cres.Hagley-Ferrymead Ward - Mt Pleasant Rd.

FINDING THE BALANCE: The city council is proposing lower speed limits on roads all around the city to make it safer for all those who use them. Inset: Alan Nicholson

NewsQE II DECISION After a city council hearings panel recommended the sale of 11.5ha of QE II Park to the Ministry of Education, a community group is considering their options to put a stop to the sale. Christchurch Concerned Citizens chairman Garry House said the group is not pleased the city council plan to go ahead with the sale, in spite of “overwhelming evidence” that the land was meant to be used to be used for recreation, and not education.

BURGLARIES SPIKE A large rise in the number of burglaries and family harm incidents has been seen by police around the Aranui and Wainoni areas. New Brighton police station Sergeant Dave Robertson said it is unusual to have the amount of burglaries that are currently being seen, at this time of year. He said burglaries and family harm incidents generally spike in July and August.

WARMER HOMES The Community Energy Action Charitable Trust has hit their target of warming 250 homes, six months ahead of schedule. The Repair Well project, funded by New Zealand Red Cross and implemented by CEA.

In Brief

THERE IS less than a month to go until the doors open on the The Star Home & Leisure Show.

More than 12,000 people visited the show last year, which runs over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 1 to 3.

The show features the latest trends and technology for home building or renovation, as well as special deals on everything from spa pools to campervans.

You can talk directly with the experts there to get advice or tips, or take the opportunity to try new products or technology.

There will also be plenty of prizes on offer, including a $25,000 central heating system, thanks to Central Heating NZ.

•The show will be held at Horncastle Arena from July 1-3 from 10am to 5pm. For more information, visit www.starhomeshow.co.nz

Fantastic Home Show returns

HAVING A remote control home is no longer the stuff of science fiction.

If you have the technology, you can now turn your heating on while you’re on your way home, set a crock-pot to start your dinner cooking, and check up instantly on your home if a security or fire alarm goes off to see if it’s a danger or just a false alarm.

Although the technology has existed for several years, it has been expensive and complicated to install.

Startup company Morepork’s goal is to make the technology accessible to anyone.

Chief executive Gemma Croombs said its systems could be installed simply yourself, with simple plug in cameras and control panels and wireless alarms and sensors.

“People have the perception

you can only have them if you’re building and you can put cable all through your home, but it doesn’t have to be like that anymore.”

The company, which was backed by Spark, launched in August last year, but she said the technology was already growing.

“One of the things we’re test-ing at the moment is a smart door bell which sets up voice call, so if someone’s there to

drop off a package you can say just drop off, don’t leave me to pick it up from the depot on my weekend. Or if you have a smart lock, you can just remotely open the door and let them in.”

As new technology was devel-oped, she said it could be added on to the same system.

She plans to be at The Star Home & Leisure Show with her team, with several systems set up for people to play with there, and special deals on offer.

IN YOUR HAND: Chief executive Gemma Croombs using the Morepork app, which allows you to remotely control your security system and home automation technology.

STAR MEDIA chairman Nick Smith has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for more than 50 years work in media and sport.

He was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit yesterday.

Mr Smith started work at the Christchurch Star in 1965, as an advertising cadet.

“It was the heyday of newspapers. You weren’t competing for eyeballs. I spent two and a half years there, and it was fantastic. I still have a lot of friends from those days, we had a lot of fun together. We used to have boxing tournaments in the lunchroom,” he said.

He went on to become a direc-tor of Allied Press, publisher of the Otago Daily Times, and chairman of CTV.

Although he was a major shareholder, he said he stayed in the background at CTV for several years, leaving the running of the company to managing director Murray Wood.

But when Mr Wood was killed in the collapse of the building in the February 2011 earthquake, Mr Smith said he was suddenly thrust into management of the station.

He remembered the first meet-ing the day after the earthquake, sitting in a dark room without power talking about the future with his distraught staff.

“It would have made more sense to take the insurance money and close the station, but to me that would mean we let the staff and the victims’ families down. That to me was the decid-ing factor.”

He has also played a key role in sport over the years, helping to develop Hagley Park, form the University Oval Redevelopment Trust and raise $2 million to establish the first

cricket ground in Dunedin.He has also sponsored and

donated to many community groups and organisations working around the South Island.

“My philosophy has always been what’s good for the province is what’s good for the business, and what’s good for the company is good for the province.”

Kim, tell me a bit about what you do for the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust.

I guess I lead the programme and we run art programmes. At the moment we run at Phillips-town and Aranui Libraries but we are looking to expand across the city into other community hubs. Our mission is using art to boost people’s wellbeing. We’re especially looking to work with people that have experienced mental illness, earthquake trauma and social isolation. We provide opportunities for people to connect with their commu-nity as well.

How long has it been run-ning?

It’s been going for just over a year now, but we had a low pro-file for our first six months. But since the start of the year we’ve had quite a surge of interest in our programmes. We’re very excited because it means we need to expand them now, and we’re looking for support to do that.

Where is the programme based?

The base is Phillipstown Community Hub, in the old Phil-lipstown School, which closed at the end of 2014. We’re here along with a whole lot of other fantastic community initiatives. Aranui also presents a great opportunity because the team there is really passionate about serving their community. We know libraries are the living room of communities and people go there because they feel welcome and it’s a free space.

And the feedback you’ve received has been positive?

The feedback has been fantastic.

What people love is that it’s par-ticipant driven, so artists choose the art forms they’re interested in, and they do that. The environ-ment they’re in is without any pressure to produce, just heaps of encouragement. People have said it’s a really inspiring environment to be in. It’s not a structured class as such, anyone could be working on anything – like sculptures, printmaking, and calligraphy. Sometimes the participants will need encouragement and sug-gestions, but most people settle in to what they want to be doing. If someone’s stuck we help them though.

Has the programme been suc-cessful for the artists?

Some people have come in and worked in this space, and they’ve had work feature in national exhibitions. We’ve had three people gain scholarships through The Learning Connexion but also people are feeling like they have a sense of belonging to something creative and belong-ing to a new community. They’ve said they’ve made friends. And from that they’re more engaged in their community.

Has this project been set up by the city council, or indepen-

dently? It’s an independent commu-

nity charitable trust. We have had great support from Creative New Zealand, the city council and the Rata Foundation. Not only that but we are finding that we are being given a lot of sup-port in terms of art materials, which is a fabulous endorsement for the trust.

How full are your classes? Funny you should say that ac-

tually, we have a waiting list for the Phillipstown groups. There’s currently a lot of work being done looking at whether a com-munity hub could be set up in the closed Central New Brighton School, and we’re hoping we might be able to share a space in that facility.

So how did this all come about?

About 20 years ago I man-aged a community art space in Masterton and I’d been aware of the gap in Christchurch for some time, but it was only after the earthquakes that it kind of galvanised my energy and so I decided to kick-start something here. There’s a network of spaces like this around the country, so I had good relationships with

the people involved there and then we did some research which was funded by Creative New Zealand, and it looked at the need and how something should be set up here. It’s not something you can just transplant from one city to the other, Masterton is a small town. In post-earthquake Christchurch, opportunities to connect with others creatively in your local community seemed more important.

How long have you been in Christchurch then?

I’ve been here for 15 years, and was in Masterton before, for about three years, but I was born in Auckland. I’ve lived in lots of different places, but Christch-urch is home now.

Oh good to hear! Where are your favourite spots?

My favourite in Christchurch is Taylors Mistake. But in New Zealand, it’d be the Cavalli Islands in Northland.

Do you have any family down here?

I have two boys, who are 17 and 13. They keep me on my toes. They’re both at Hagley Community College, and they’re enjoying that. I’m not sure what they want to do, but as long as

they do what they’re passionate about, I’m good with that.

And where in the city are you guys based?

We’re in Lyttelton. The kids love it because of the hills and the sea, and the great landscape.

That’s a bit of a trek to work each day?

Yes that’s a point, I don’t live in the communities I’m working in. That means that it’s even more important to have a strong re-lationship with the community. We’ve designed some projects that are around the identity and stories of Phillipstown – photog-raphy and poetry projects that combine with Ara Institute of Canterbury, and local residents, and what Phillipstown means for them. That’s only just started.

Where did you go to school then?

I went to school in Auckland, to Westlake Girls’ High School. It was just the one up the road from where we lived at the time.

Did you ever have a mentor, or a big influence that taught you art?

Some people do have an out-standing person in their life, but this is hard for me. I guess mine was Sue McBride, who was an outstanding art teacher. I really enjoyed art at school because of her, so that probably did sow the seed.

What did you do after that?I’ve had quite a few different

aspects of my work. One is in law, I trained for law, and didn’t know if I’d take it further after I studied it. I specialised in social justice and community law. And in a way there’s quite a connec-tion between those studies and what I do now.

And did you use the degree? Did you have any law jobs?

Yes, I did. I guess it must have been 20 years on and off using it. The earthquakes made me question what I was doing, and I decided to put my energy into creativity and wellbeing projects. Life’s short, if I can make a differ-ence, then I should. And for me it was around this idea of art and creativity in Christchurch that was the best way I could do that.

All performances will be held at Aranui High.

HELPING HANDS: Pupils from Waitakiri Primary School took a more hands-on approach to learning about whitebait spawn recently. The pupils helped scientific EOS Ecology’s support specialist Kirsty Brennan monitor the activities of the whitebait, which were spawning by the Kate Shepherd site, just off Anzac Drive. They helped check the whitebaits’ habitats, and tagged where they found them.

Schools gear up for final celebration

Complementary medicine is becoming increasingly sought after in New Zealand as people become aware of the many

different methods of treating pain and ill health that are available here.

Christchurch-based Chinese health practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a method of treatment, which she says has as an immediate affect on a wide variety of pains and health conditions. It is known as ‘acupuncture without needles’.

Lan describes it as being similar to reflexology in that the problem area on the body is determined through pressure, but is much more accurate.

Trained as a medical practitioner in China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 and began practising acupuncture in 1995. From that discipline she created her acupuncture without needles, and uses it to treat people of all ages with many different types of pain in all parts of the body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, and pain from injury.

“For example, the treatment has been very successful for people who have painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan says.

Acupuncture without needles is also effective in restoring energy levels,

she says.“As people age their energy is reduced,

and this can lead to other health problems. The acupuncture without needles treatment is like the body’s

battery being charged up again, so their energy levels are restored, which in turn helps overcome their health problems.”

Lan also uses it to treat depression and anxiety, and says it can help with addiction problems as well.

“After the treatment the person has no cravings – because it treats the cause of the addiction.”

She says the results are immediate, though people may need several treatments, depending on the extent of their health problem, and while it is slightly painful for few moments, everyone can tolerate it.

Lan Xiao’s website, www.drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes videos of people whose health problems have been overcome after receiving the treatment.

Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 5pm. To discuss your health issues or make an appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 8388.

smooth-air productsTo enSure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components in-store but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements.

VenTILATIon This includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered and warmed air in winter creates a healthy environment in which to live and work. In case

of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed.

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline.

It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable.

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands

Get rid of dampness in your housethe problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our new Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes.

According to a country doctor “d.c. Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and honey (cV & H) can be an important part of a long healthy life. dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly consumed cider vinegar and honey had excellent health with many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even when well into their eighties.

dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar and honey on arthritis can be remarkable with many patients reporting almost total relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar and honey. dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted calcium deposits and helped the body control calcium use.

As well as a general tonic dr. Jarvis found regular administration of cider vinegar and honey at the onset of complaints such as the common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic attacks, hay fever, and childhood diseases such as chicken pox and measles, was accompanied by an improvement in the condition with symptoms either disappearing, or the conditions were extremely mild and soon over.

Apple cider vinegar contains

all the goodness of the apple in a form that is readily accepted by the body. Scientists have found over 90 different substances in AcV, among them 20 important trace elements, minerals, essential enzymes, a number of different acids including malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the form of potash and pectin. A scientific study at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven AcV to have potent antioxidant benefits (it can destroy free radicals, which are a major factor in ageing.) and also the AcV can break down cholesterol formations in the blood vessels.

AcV and H is a powerful tonic that also promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize any toxic substances that enter the body.

it is important to note not all cider vinegar is made in the traditional way and results are likely to prove disappointing with these other vinegars.

Time Honoured Remedy

GENEROUS: Ferrymead Rotary donated dictionaries to Bromley School pupils recently to help them with their English. Room 10 pupil Grace said the dictionaries were “so cool”. “They are so easy to use at home – I love it.” Each room 10 pupil got their own dictionary to take home with them. Heather Fear, of Ferrymead Rotary, said the club was thrilled the children were enjoying the dictionaries. “It is evident that the children really enjoy these books – maybe they are the only books they have at home. Some schools use them as a class set and, at the end of the year, the children have them to keep.” Ferrymead Rotary has given dictionaries to several schools in the area so the children each have a copy of their own. The cost of the dictionaries is subsidised by the Bill and Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust and the Lois Dalley Trust.

YOUNG LEADERS: House leaders from Queenspark Primary School recently attended the New Zealand Youth Leaders Conference at Horncastle Arena. Last week Queenspark sent Brooke Overend, Tahlia Ranger, Joey Blair, Jade Lewington, Hazel Williams, Danielle Grimes, Hannah Battrick, Jazmin Garvey, Josephine Spaull, Howie McFadyen, Ruby Moore, Ruby Carrier, Ava Whitworth, and Tom Phillips to represent the school.

reVered For centuries by Polynesians and Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin anti-aging and healing properties, dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. The dilo tree draws its sustenance directly from the nutrient rich warm waters of the Pacific ocean.

dilo oil is also called “the beauty oil” as it can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration and regeneration. it has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells and the formation of new tissue giving it powerful anti-aging properties that can help reduce lines, blemishes, scars, stretchmarks, dry or scaly skin, skin redness and repair damaged skin.

it also possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant and sun protective properties and is commonly used on most skin ailments including rosacea, pimples, ulcers and sores, acne and acne scars, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, rashes, blisters, skin eruptions, warts, insect bites and stings, athlete’s foot, burns, sunburn, cuts and cracks, nappy rash, and many more often with incredible results. Also it is used for joint and muscular pain and may even help stimulate healing.

PAULger coUrtS is a family owned and oriented village. owners robyn and Peter Macdonald truly appreciate the value and importance of independence and on-going community relationships to their residents, whilst remaining a close-knit and supportive community. our residents maintain their

community attachments, hobbies and independence, whilst knowing that support is there if they need it.

The village’s 34 semi-detached but private units sit in landscaped grounds alongside george Manning House, the purpose-built eighty-one bed rest home and hospital. on hand at gMH robyn and her team are available to answer any questions or organise any assistance the residents need.

Paulger courts units are designed to be sunny, comfortable and easy to live in, whilst relieving the residents of the burden of home maintenance or reliance on family for urgent assistance. With the supplied ‘never Alone’ alarm, the nightly security patrol and willing staff, residents and their families can feel reassured that help is at hand should it be required.

The emphasis at Paulger courts is on ensuring that it always remains a safe and happy place for people to live, making the move to a retirement village as easy a transition as possible.

SENIOR LIVINGPAULGER COURTSRETIREMENT VILLAGE

certAinLy, BALAnce and muscle strength decline with age and can have disastrous consequences. But it’s never too late to improve both. We can help ourselves to remain independent.

it’s easy to make excuses, i’m too tired, too old, too fat, too lazy. if you want to change your life, even at 90 it’s possible to improve your leg muscle strength. it may still be possible to maintain or regain your balance and live the life you want.

every year, one out of three people aged 65 and over has a fall. A few simple exercises can help reduce your risk of falling and keep you independent longer.

try standing on one foot for 10 seconds while waiting for the kettle to boil. Heel to toe walk in the lounge. Looking straight ahead, take 20 steps and imagine you are walking along a narrow path.

For active people, most outdoor activities and tai chi and yoga are excellent for both leg strengthening and balance.

For those less active or with mobility problems, seated exercises can achieve results amazingly quickly. Simple Aircycle leg exercises are effective, relaxing and enjoyable.

you can have coffee, chat on the phone or watch tV, while relaxing with your Aircycle exerciser to boost circulation, increase joint flexibility, strengthen calf and thigh muscles to help improve your balance. Better balance and stronger muscles ensure greater independence.

no one else can do it for you. your life is in your hands. information and Aircycle orders to www.aircycle.co.nz, phone 04 569 5013 or post $44.90 to Aircycle, Po Box 45105 Waterloo, Lower Hutt 5042

“DON’T GET AROUND MUCH .. ANy MORE”

If this is your song, think again!

coMPLeMentAry Medicine includes treatments and products that are not traditionally used in conventional medicine. They range from ancient systems such as traditional chinese medicine to treatments such as massage, acupuncture, herbal medicine and aromatherapy. They emphasise a ‘wellness’ that comes from a balance between the body and mind. The gap between conventional medicine and complementary is starting to blur.

Before starting any treatment or product it is important to check what evidence is available to suggest that it may work for you. Many treatments are beginning to be backed up by scientific evidence. However, for many others it is still unclear whether they are truly effective, harmful or a waste of time and money.

Some supplements that may be beneficial for you:Avocado, soybean, calcium & vitamin d, capsicum, folic acid, fish

oil, glucosamine & chondroitin and cherries.Herbs can also be beneficial e.g. boswellia can be beneficial for

those with osteoarthritis. you may also consider tai chi, yoga and relaxation techniques.

if you try complementary medicine treatment it is important to discuss with your medical practitioner about any possible interactions of the product with your current medical treatment.

Keep in mind that natural does not necessarily mean safe and always tell your doctor of all the remedies you take.

When I fi rst saw the advertisement for the roleof Haeata Community Campus Principal, I thought it was the most exciting educational opportunityI had seen for some time.

The chance to create and build a new school is rare. At the time I was working

as the Head of Secondary at Hong Kong’s Discovery College and prior to that I held Principal and Deputy Principal roles at Hornby and Lincoln High Schools. Haeata Community Campus will open its doors in term one of 2017 for students from years 1-13.

The brand new school is currently being built on the Aranui High School site.The campus will combine pupils from the four schools that are closing in eastern Christchurch – Aranui Primary, Wainoni Primary, Avondale Primary and Aranui High School – as well as welcoming new students from the local community.

It’s really important that we capture the essence of what has worked well at the four schools that are closing and apply it in the new campus.

Families can be confi dent that their children will have access to quality and innovative education that provides a strong foundation for their future.

Having students from years 1-13 allowsus to build strong connections betweenthe school, students and whānau.

We are fortunate to be in state-of-the-art facilities which will provide amazing opportunities for all students and community groups.

We will be engaging face-to-face with our community regularly, beginning this month, to discuss our plans, seek feedback and answer questions you may have.

Along with our leadership team andBoard of Trustees, I look forward to welcoming our fi rst students in 2017.This is an exciting time for the East– join us!

The future is bright in the East

Why choose Haeata?

Haeata Community Campus Update June 2016

Passionate teachers, a new approach to learning and a cutting-edge environmentare among the reasons why Michelle Mahuika and herchildren are choosingHaeata Community Campus.

Michelle’s two daughters, Manaia, 13, and Kaea, 4, will be among the fi rst

students attending Haeata when it opens in 2017. Manaia is currently at Avonside Girls High School and Kaea is attending E Tipu e Rea on the current Aranui High School site. Kaea will be fi ve in July but Michelle, an early childhood teacher, has decided to wait until Haeata opens before sending her to school.

“The endless opportunities that Haeata presents made the decision an easy one, and Kaea is so excited about going,” says Michelle, who lives in New Brighton with the girls and her husband Daniel Davies.“She can see the school being built from where she attends preschool, and is constantly watching the video on the website. It is exciting for us just to listen to her and I know that she will thrive there.”Michelle’s older daughter Manaia made the decision herself to attend Haeata.“The opportunity to be part of something new and exciting played a big part, and the fact she can really delve into subjects that interest her due to Haeata’s self-directed learning approach made it very appealing,” says Michelle.

“The big thing for us, from a parent’s perspective, is knowing that Haeata will have really passionate and enthusiastic teachers on board who will support and encourage our girls’ education.”

Experience, passion and local knowledge are key attributes of Haeata’s Senior Leadership Team, made up of fi ve teachers who will play a big part in getting the school ready for 2017.

Principal of Haeata Community Campus Andy Kai Fong is joined by

Paul Osborne, a senior leader and Head of Department in Mathematics at Aranui High, the principal of Te Karaka Area School Karyn Gray, the deputy principal of Bromley School Rebecca Wilson and Melanie Taite-Pitama, a Ministry of Education and Maori education leader.

Paul Osborne says he is relishing the chance to help make Haeata Community Campus the school of choice for the East of Christchurch.

“There is already a strong sense of direction for the new school, andI’m looking forward to being part ofthe group bringing Haeata to life,”he says.

Te Karaka principal Karyn Grayhas moved from Gisborne to join the new team. “Haeata Community Campus is an exciting educational opportunity,” she says. “I’m looking forward toworking closely with the Aranui community to ensure we meettheir ambitions and goals.”

For Rebecca Wilson, innovation and endless opportunities are key elements in her move to Haeata Community Campus. “I’m passionate about the East,” she says. “After 13 years at Bromley, I see this as a wonderful chance to make a contribution to successful educational outcomes for our pupils. I want to get the community excited about the endless opportunities for their children.”

Melanie Taite-Pitama, the new director of learning at Haeata Community Campus, is looking forward to applying her past experience as deputy principal at Tuahiwi School, and most recently with the Ministry of Education.“Haeata Community Campus is something new in terms of transforming education. That’s where I like to be - right in that mix of making a difference, leaving a legacy and making change,” Melanie says. “I’m looking forward tothe opportunity to build somethingthat no-one else is doing.”
