Christmas tree to light up Hagley Park
Cool, clear water Fresh and clear: Four five-year-old Roydvale School pupils, Rylee Watson, left, Adi Barot, Evie Freller and Tessa Given are delighted to enjoy a glass of Christchurch’s pure chlorine-free water for the first time since February. Chlorine was introduced to the city’s water supply after the February 22 earthquake to address potential contamination issues caused by damage to the city’s underground water and sewer services. The chlorine has been removed in a gradual roll-out process over the last six weeks or so, restoring the water supply to the high standard Christchurch is famous for. Photo: Christine de Felice
A TOWERING 25-metre high Christmas tree is being lit up in North Hagley Park tonight. The Telecom Christmas tree is being introduced to Christchurch this year, after being a regular feature in Auckland and Wellington for several years. Promoter Paul Ellis said the Telecom foundation approached him to help arrange a tree for Christchurch after he helped organise the Band Together concert for Canterbury following last year’s September 4 earthquake. The lighting up event, at 9.30 tonight, will feature Jason Gunn as master of ceremonies, music from Opshop’s Jason Kerrison and lone piper George McEwan. Mr Ellis said the attraction itself would be interactive, with people able to go into old phone boxes and ring Santa Claus, then see their messages go to the top of the tree. They would also be able to change the colour of the thousands of lights. People were also encouraged to bring a gift to the tree to go to Christchurch children who have had a tough time recently. The tree will be open 24 hours, lit up from dusk until dawn every day until Boxing Day. This year’s Carols by Candlelight event will be held next to the giant tree on Christmas Eve.
Teacher redundancies worrying principals Gina McKenzie
BANKS Avenue School principal Murray Edlin is one of a host of principals in the eastern suburbs who are questioning the future of education in Christchurch after plunging rolls forced him to make three fixed term teachers redundant. The school in Shirley was expected to start next year with 430 pupils but the future was uncertain with a predicted loss of 80 further students throughout 2012. Education Minister Anne Tolley announced in September that government funding for the equivalent of 167 full-time teachers or 4.5 percent of Christchurch’s teaching staff would
be cut. Mr Edlin said it was extremely difficult for him to let three teachers go. “It’s always difficult to tell staff there is no position for them at the school next year. “Some of our staff lost houses so it hasn’t been an easy year for anyone.� Mr Edlin was particularly concerned about the impact the redundancies would have on young beginning teachers and on those contemplating a career in the education industry. “Many are teachers at the beginning of their careers and we lose quality teachers who
have a significant contribution to make to the children in New Zealand. Some might not choose to become teachers or pursue other fields, which is a huge shame especially when we lose talented people. “If things had been normal we would have expected to have the 630 pupils we had at the end of 2010. “The ministry has said we could lose up to another 80 pupils next year. If that happens we would have to look at permanent teachers as staffing levels are directly related to the roll.� Mr Edlin said the only way to cope with roll declines and teacher redundancies was to

focus on the positive aspects of the school. “The school might be smaller but we have a great school community and team of staff so we will focus on delivering quality learning programmes.� Meanwhile, a 25 percent drop in Linwood North School’s roll had resulted in two fixed term teachers and one teacher aide being made redundant. Principal Sandra Smith said it was an incredibly challenging time for the school. “It’s not easy for anyone and it’s sad to think of the teachers who will be leaving Canterbury.�

Restoration of Catholic cathedral costly
Made safe: The main dome at the back of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament has been removed due to the potential danger it posed to neighbouring Cathedral College.
Christine de Felice
THE future of the Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Barbadoes Street remains uncertain, with the estimated cost of building a new church being significantly lower than that of restoring the existing building. Chairman of the cathedral
management board Lance Ryan said the cost of a rebuild was estimated at $30 million to $40 million, whereas restoring the existing building was estimated at between $100m and $120m. The cathedral is a category one heritage listed building, so that would also need to be taken in to
account, Mr Ryan said. “We are well insured for replacement cost but not restoration. If the building was restored it would need to comply with the strict earthquake code at 100 percent.” He said the bishop would have the final say on the cathedral’s future. “There are also wider implications in relation to the Christchurch diocese and the overall planning,” Mr Ryan said. “A number of other churches have been damaged so there is a lot more involved than just the cathedral.” In the meantime deconstruction and site stabilisation work have continued. The main part of the building has been stabilised and the two arches that have been exposed at the back have been secured. The north bell tower is in the process of being taken down, which should be completed by Christmas, Mr Ryan said.
“We also hope to have the containers taken away by then.” The safety of neighbouring Cathedral College was the reason for the large dome at the back of the cathedral being taken down, Mr Ryan said. “The main focus has been on making the site safe and that’s why the dome was taken down. Cathedral College needed to get back. Their buildings weren’t damaged and our first priority was to get the school up and running.” A number of artefacts had been removed from the building and placed in storage, though there were still three organs and a lot of other items to be brought out, Mr Ryan said. “The engineers keep coming up with ideas of how to be safe inside, but at present it’s not safe to be in there.” He said a further engineers’ report on the cathedral was expected prior to Christmas.

A spokesperson for Google said they didn’t know the reason for the route selection in question but a wide range of factors were taken into account in order to deliver the “best possible driving route”. “We look at things like road size (large highway vs smaller arterial road), how direct the route is, and estimated travel time,” they said. “You are able to easily customise your own route by clicking on the blue route line and dragging it to your preferred road.” While the Christchurch to Kaikoura route might catch a careless tourist out, it’s probably not the most serious error that

Surviving annus horribilis A YEAR that can only be described as annus horribilis, probably the worst year in the city’s history, is drawing to a close. On Wednesday Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker, council chief executive Tony Marryatt and the city’s water and waste manager Mark Christison gathered in the mayor’s rooms on the sixth floor of the civic building for a ‘media event.’ The occasion was to mark the announcement of chlorine being removed from the city’s water supply. The water has been chlorinated ever since the February 22 earthquake. For the photo ‘op’ Mayor Parker, and Messrs Marryatt and Christison held glasses of pristine water, smiled and when prompted they clinked the glasses together in celebratory manner. For the mayor and Mr
Marryatt it could also be seen as a double celebration. In June during the fracas over Mr Marryatt’s reappointment as business leaders and developers expressed frustration with council and called for change, Mr Parker threatened to quit. But Mr Marryatt survived and Mr Parker didn’t quit. The old issues of lack of transparency, frustration with red tape and bureaucracy have never really gone away and a good deal of opprobrium has been heaped on council and its leadership during the year. In her parting shots when she resigned in September councillor Chrissie Williams said the council was dysfunctional and lacked leadership.
one more thing
An injunction, complaints laid with the auditor general’s office regarding handling of consultants’ contracts, VBase job losses and council taking over its $45 million debts; the loss of 172 council jobs in April due to the quake, the creation of the emergency government department, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, which has elbowed in and is effectively running greater Christchurch for the next five years, have been among the major challenges. All this on top of a year with grieving families all over the city, and homes, businesses and infrastructure destroyed. Chatting to Mr Parker
after the glass-clinking session he said council was fully stretched and frustrated too at the detail of work that was required to ensure things were done right. He denied any suggestions that problems existed between council and Cera. “We have a solid, respectful relationship,” he said. He spoke optimistically of the city’s future quoting a batch of statistics but possibly his most perceptive comment was that having gone through this year he felt people had learned a lot about themselves. In his view the quakes and their aftermath have made us “much better people” with a deeper understanding of what are the important things in life. Perhaps he’s right and perhaps too finding out what is important is the key to surviving.

Not just a dog..... I LOST my best mate. After 16 years of faithful blind devotion to my idiocentric life he checked out after a life well lived. I remember the very first day with my kids, $50 in my hand to get a staffy (which actually turned out to be a lab on short legs). Once home my love affair with the canine world began. Actually, if I’m honest, if I knew then what I now know about dogs I’m not sure I would have got married and had kids – probably would have just had nine dogs. You can be late, forget to feed them, shut them outside in the cold and rain, rant and rave, even give them a belt and they will still be waiting diligently, wagging that tail, waiting patiently but excitedly. Total adoration, total trust. Regardless of the weather we went walking, every day,

He trusted me to do the right thing. I told him I loved him and thanked him for being my friend and then I let him go. I brought him home, to the place he loved and buried him next to the cat who hated him. I have missed him. It still hurts. I think of him all the time. I learnt more about love from our dog, more about honour, loyalty, truth and acceptance than from anyone. I learnt from him, he was always there for me.. I am glad I was there for him … He wasn’t just a dog…..
AS the controversial topic of our Anglican cathedral’s future evolves as a platform of debate and elevated opinion, a sense of reality must prevail over this issue. While this iconic structure has been the Garden City hub for decades its future restructuring in terms of financial viability is ludicrous. Despite Christchurch heritage group Iconic, vetoing Buckingham Palace and the Archbishop of Canterbury, striving to save this iconic structure other options exist. As with San Francisco and Napier, earthquake destruction was prevalent in rebuilding of replicated, composite strengthened structures of the original. The Coventry Cathedral memorial comprises a modern strength cathedral adjacent to war torn remnants of the original. While our Anglican cathedral is significant in terms of colonial heritage its destruction is realistic in terms of revenue (possibly ratepayer funded) to restore or rebuild it. This should not be an issue for the passionate pro-heritage brigade, in consideration of the myriad of heritage structures unscathed and devoid of demolition status throughout our Garden City.

Liquor licence GOOD to read that the new Ilam New World supermarket on Peer St has had its liquor licence blocked. (Mainland Press, November 30). But who knows what the Liquor Licensing Authority will end up deciding? We all know that cheap supermarket booze is a means of getting customers in the door. No consideration that the abuse of alcohol is the cause of a lot of misery. We already have bottle stores selling booze. Why do we need supermarkets to sell it as well? Peter Banens, Sydenham

Lyttelton Recreation Centre closes THE Lyttelton Recreation Centre closed on Monday after an engineering assessment showed the building only met 29 per cent of new building standards. Under council policy, a building must reach at least 34 per cent of the building standards to remain open to the public. Engineers had conducted a rapid assessment of the building after the February 22 earthquake to identify any obvious structural damage and it received a green sticker at the time.
However the latest more detailed evaluation of the building, with different parts built in 1963 and 1984, had revealed more detail about its ability to withstand future earthquakes. Lyttelton Mt Herbert Community Board chairperson Paula Smith said the closure was a blow as it was heavily used by used by all sectors of the community. It had also been used recently as an alternative location for groups including the local toy library and Plunket group.

Song captures children’s post-quake resilience

A CATCHY tune and clever lyrics reflecting the resilience of Christchurch’s school children after the earthquakes have been put together by relief teacher Jim Cullinane in a song titled Roll With It. “Working at different schools around Christchurch during the aftershocks I was impressed with how the kids behaved. They just kept doing the everyday stuff and turning up for school – they had a really positive attitude,� Mr Cullinane said. “Talking about it with other teachers, we were calling the kids the ‘unsung heroes’, so I decided these unsung heroes should have a song. “The children have been very good at adjusting to change after the earthquakes – rolling with it, as it were, so that was a good place to start. “I had a riff in my head and for the lyrics I asked them what they would say if they could

‘phone up’ the earthquakes.� After putting the song together in the recent school holidays and recording a demo with his 18-year-old daughter singing, Mr Cullinane approached four primary schools representing the four ‘corners’ of Christchurch. The schools were Redcliffs, Queenspark, Merrin and Yaldhurst, from where a total of 35 children took part in Roll With It. The pupils from each of the schools sang their version of the song and it was surprising how different they were, Mr Cullinane said. The children recorded the song last week at the Waimairi Community Hall and it had its onair debut on NewstalkZB with Mike Yardley. Mr Cullinane is also making a video of the recording, which will be available on Youtube, linked to the school websites. Roll With It will also be available to download on iTunes, with a percentage of the profits going to the children’s charity, Variety.
University journalism course suspended THE University of Canterbury graduate diploma in journalism course will be suspended next year. The university’s Pro-ViceChancellor, College of Arts, Professor Ed Adelson said despite an international search for a replacement for Professor Jim Tully, who has run the course for 25 years, a suitable successor could not be found. “The university now has an opportunity to carefully consider how best to meet the future needs of the journalism profession – a profession that is undergoing rapid change,� Professor Adelson said. “To that end, the university is consulting with its advisory board and industry regarding their needs and emerging trends in journalism education. “The university is also taking the time to identify a new head of the programme who can achieve the outstanding results with the programme that Jim has done.� Professor Tully will continue to teach on media communications courses at the university. Meanwhile, the university has announced the appointment of current pro chancellor and former New Zealand ambassador to the United States Dr John Wood (QSO) as its next chancellor, effective January 2012. Dr Woods will replace Rex Williams who has been in the position since 2009. Principal of Christchurch Boys’ High School Trevor McIntyre has been appointed to replace Dr Wood as pro chancellor.

English dancers help Richmond dance school students left the area after their homes were redzoned. Dance Tech owner Suzanne Seaton said she was delighted when she heard that the Linden Ellicott School of Dance was holding a fundraising concert. “One of our students has a sister who is a member of the dance school. “They wanted to do something specifically to help out a dance school affected by the quake.” Mrs Seaton said it had been very difficult to find new premises and she ended up converting her garage into a studio. “It was very tough. I was holding classes in parents’ lounges at one stage. “The garage isn’t perfect but it’s important for the girls to to carry on their classes so they can keep a normal routine and have something fun to focus on.” Mrs Seaton planned to use the money to renovate her former studio in Mairehau once the building’s status was confirmed. The school is holding a Christmas concert on Saturday December 17 at Cashmere High School at 4:30pm. Tickets are $10 and door sales are available.
Best foot forward: Dance students at Dance Tech studio in Richmond were excited to receive a donation from a dance school in England. From left: Kelly Fenton,9, Hannah Knowles,9, Emily Allen,6, Lily Makinson,7, Katelyn Knowles, 6, teacher Suzanne Seaton and Sarah Rutland,5.

Crowds flock to Kaiapoi Carnival event was the return of the Canterbury Axemen swinging their axes to the sound of rotor blades of the helicopter as many visitors took the opportunity to see Kaiapoi from the air. Winner of the Shop Kaiapoi promotion Helen Thoruburgh won a $2000 Kaiapoi shopping spree. The sale of raffle tickets by the Kaiapoi Promotion Association raised $5000 to help fund the carnival. The association funded the carnival with assistance from Waimakariri District Council, Pines Kairaki Beaches Assn, Pub Charity, Air Rescue Services and many local businesses.

city by helping visitors find their way around. “We’re doing our best to get fresh information about what’s happening in the city out to visitors and Christchurch City Council is updating signage in the city, but we can’t reach everyone. “That’s why we need Christchurch residents to help out by giving any visitors they come across who look lost, confused or worried a friendly smile and advice on how to get around and the good places to go,” Mr Hunter said. Visitors can also get information at the new i-SITE Visitor Centre on Rolleston Avenue next to Canterbury Museum, which is open from 8.30am to 5pm seven days a week. Information boards posted around the visitor centre give emergency contacts and motel-on-duty information, as well as information on how to find a bed on www.christchurchnz.com.
THE Kaiapoi community put the bad times behind it on Saturday, with a crowd of about 10,000 turning out for the annual Kaiapoi Carnival and Santa Parade. “It was a fantastic day, the weather was perfect, the crowds were entertained, and the parade was again another huge success,” carnival organiser Tony Lamplugh said. “Along with the usual stalls and entertainment the day was an opportunity to celebrate Kaiapoi and the community.” Live music, entertainment rides, sideshows, Kung Fu, NZ Fire Service demonstrations and a variety of food stalls kept the crowds buzzing.

Residents urged to become city ambassadors CHRISTCHURCH locals are being urged to lend a hand to visitors confused by the changing face of the city. Thousands of out-of-town visitors are expected in Christchurch over the summer and tourism leaders are worried some will struggle to find their way around and could miss out on discovering the new places to shop, eat and be entertained that have popped up in Christchurch since the quake. “People who haven’t visited for a long time or are visiting for the first time and are relying on guide books to find their way around probably won’t know where the best restaurants or the bars are now,” Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism chief executive Tim Hunter said. “For visitors the situation could be quite confusing so we’re really asking locals to step up this summer and act as ambassadors for our

Christmas is coming – albeit slowly FIGURES released yesterday by Paymark show that while the build up to Christmas did begin in November, spending during the month could best be described as a slight intermission breaking up the busy Rugby World Cup period and the pending Christmas rush. Paymark, which processes around 75 per cent of all electronic transactions in New Zealand, processed nearly 77 million transactions worth more than $3.9 billion across the nation in November, representing a 3.2 per cent year-on-year increase in terms of value. Paymark spokesman, Phil Deason, said that over the past year or so Kiwis had kept a
close watch on their outgoings and this appeared to still be the case before the busiest shopping time of the year. “The pre-Christmas spend up typically begins mid-November and it has with spending in the last seven days of November up 9.3 per cent as compared to the first seven days of the month. However, the annual increase in value of 3.2 per cent for the month is slightly below the trend of recent months,” Mr Deason said. “Although annual growth has been slow, Christmas this year is still on track to be busier than last year and we are still planning for a very hectic last few days before Christmas Day.”

amount of requests” for it to come to Christchurch. Mr Lam wasn’t sure when it would be practical to open new stores in the city but said the company wasn’t keen on waiting a few years to establish a presence. The company was interested in hearing from potential customers on where they should set up shop. “The mobile unit gives us that flexibility of finding out where we do want to be and we will also go to the social media channels to find out as well.” Mr Lam said the company, which also has six stores in the Middle East, had not been actively seeking store growth within New Zealand over the previous two years because of the economic uncertainty. The company has just announced its preliminary half-year results, reporting unaudited profits of $224,554 for the six months to September 30. This is a turnaround of over $400,000 from the previous year’s results for the same period where a loss of $219,022 was reported.

Shiny and new: An artist’s impression of the new Aranui Library.
WORK on the new Aranui Library began this week after more than a year of earthquake delays. The new 500 square metre library is being built in Aldershot Street, just across Wainoni Park from Christchurch City Council’s Aranui Family Centre, a kindergarten, Heartlands and the Aranui Community Trust (ACTIS) offices. The land underwent a geotechnical assessment as a result of the September and February earthquakes, resulting in a change of the foundation design. Unit manager of libraries and information Carolyn Robertson said that despite the delays and increased costs there was confidence the new geotechnical and structural design specifications would reduce the liquefaction susceptibility of the site. Every aspect of the building had been evaluated for
sustainability. “We can be proud that this wonderful creative building will be an enhancement to the neighbourhood and park by providing spaces to meet, learn and relax.” Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said he was delighted to see the building get underway. “The mobile library bus has been doing a great service, but what is really needed for the community is their own library.” The mobile library will continue to visit Eureka St, Hampshire St, and Breezes Road regularly and other locations by arrangement until the library is opened in spring next year. Building work on the library is expected to be completed by spring next year.

Changes to urgent quake repairs AS from January 1, the Earthquake Commission (EQC) is changing the process for urgent repairs. All arrangements for making repairs will be handled by EQC and Fletcher EQR. EQC customer services general manager Bruce Emson said customers could authorise their own repairs for urgent work up to $2000 in value, and invoice EQC. Urgent repairs are those that ensure the house is safe to live in, secure, sanitary and weatherresistant. However, Mr Emson said with EQC completing
assessments and well underway in repairing about 100,000 Canterbury homes, it needed to be able to better manage the repair workload, and customers would now need to contact EQC to get the work done. “Emergency repairs will be managed as the highest priority. Specialist EQC support staff will assess requests, and where the house in unsafe, insecure, unsanitary or not adequately keeping out the weather, we will send someone in to do the work straight away.” For more information: www.eqc.govt.nz

NEXT STEPS FOR IAG CUSTOMERS IN THE FLAT RESIDENTIAL GREEN ZONE AREAS Government confirms if you are in technical category 1 (grey), 2 (yellow) or 3 (blue)
If you have no foundation damage, the technical categories have no effect on your repairs. If you have foundation damage the following steps will apply
Some minor additional foundation works may be required, e.g. providing more reinforcing in the foundation.
IF TC2 The Department of Building and Housing has set clear guidelines for foundation repair or rebuild.
IF TC3 Site-specific engineering solutions will be required, and a geo-tech engineer will be engaged to report on the ground conditions at the site. Based on this report, and the type and style of your home, a structural engineer will design suitable foundations.
If the damage to your home is under $100,000 + GST from each event, EQC will pay for, and manage, your repairs including those to your foundations.
If the damage to your home is over EQC’s agreed cap for your house, the following will apply.
EQC is currently assessing land damage.
EQC deems land uneconomic to remediate and settles with you on your land.
You retain ownership of the land, but cannot rebuild on site.
IAG will assess your home and discuss settlement options with you.
EQC deems land economic to remediate and completes remediation if necessary.
IAG will work with you to assess and repair or rebuild your home. We are currently in the process of assessing all uninhabitable homes. Once we understand the implications of any necessary land remediation, we will organise geotechnical assessments where and when required. A scope of works will be created for the repair or rebuild of your home, if additional foundation work is required the associated cost will be included in the scope of work. Where possible, we will begin repairing and rebuilding. IAG712MP
IF TC1
The Government last month announced three new categories for residential foundation designs for flat residential green zone land. The three categories, defined as TC1, TC2 and TC3 or grey, yellow and blue, are based on how the land is likely to behave during a major earthquake. They specify the different types of foundation work required when repairing or rebuilding homes. To check the technical category of your home visit www.landcheck.org.nz.

Green recovery recycles itself Greening the Rubble arose as an innovative response to the September 4 quake.

AS the demolition process rolls on, Christchurch’s once familiar landscapes are changing by the day. However in the time between when the bulldozers leave and the builders and tradespeople arrive, sites need not remain empty and unused, as Greening the Rubble has shown. Having started with transforming the former Asko Design site in Victoria St, completed in early February, the initiative has moved into its next phase with elements of that site now being removed and used in newer projects. Greening the Rubble project worker Rhys Taylor said the aim was to make sure the materials, some of which have been reclaimed from earthquake rubble and the rest donated, were reused as many times as possible. “What we’re trying to do all the time is to make mobile or moveable structures which we can shift later.” When Mainland Press caught up with Mr Taylor last week, he was working on one of the latest projects - a garden near the corner of Colombo St and Wordsworth St in Sydenham which features seats made from the brick gabions that were used at Victoria St. Working alongside him was Ian Carter, who was operating a coffee kiosk on the site which he had built himself using timber and Lego bricks. “Ian’s kiosk gives people a reason to visit our garden, our garden provides a setting for his kiosk,” Mr Taylor said. “It’s turning what was a pretty depressing derelict site from the demolition of the building into a place that is worth visiting.”

Mr Taylor said Greening the Rubble was as much a social project as a design or garden project and was doing its bit to help keep people with imagination and enthusiasm in the city for the rebuild. “The idea of Greening the Rubble is to go from the depths of despair, of damage by the earthquake, the loss of livelihoods, the loss of businesses, and to show that during the temporary period,
the recovery period, you can actually have an interesting environment and a pleasant exciting place to be.” Greening the Rubble was also working on another garden in Sydenham as well as a site on the corner of Kilmore and Barbadoes streets which would incorporate an outdoor performance space, as well as vegetable and herb gardens. Several more sites were being planned.

Mucking in: Our Lady of Fatima School room 11 students Beth Atkins, Andrei Pagsanjan, Seb Schroeder, and Connor Grey, all 6-years-old, tend to flowers in the school’s memorial garden.
Earthquake memorial garden established at school Gina McKenzie
A MUSHY patch of grass outside Room 11 at Our Lady of Fatima School in Mairehau has been revamped into a memorial garden to honour earthquake victims and parish priest Father Paul Duncan who passed away earlier this year. Teacher Tony Germon said the garden was very special as one of her students lost their aunt in the PGC building collapse during February’s earthquake. “We also lost Father Paul a few months after the earthquake. He loved gardening so it’s a perfect way to remember him and also those who lost their lives in the quake.” Mrs Germon said the students were involved in the
entire process of creating the garden from the design aspect to the budget. “They had to present a plan to the school council for approval so it was a good learning exercise.” The garden incorporated bricks and timber recycled from earthquake damaged buildings in the CBD and also from the Good Shepherd House in front of the school. Parents donated material and helped construct the garden along with Nikau Contractors who supplied labour and donated recycled matai timber for seating. Next year the school plans to install a rainwater tank to create an environmentally friendly way to water the garden.
Cathedral Grammar appoints new principal THE board of Cathedral Grammar has appointed a new principal, Paul Kennedy, who will take up the role in mid-January 2012. The board had launched a global search to fill the position and there was considerable interest in the role, including from North America and Australia, chair Abby Foote said. “Applicants were clearly motivated by the uniqueness of Cathedral Grammar and the opportunity to develop the school
for the future following the earthquakes,” she said. Mr Kennedy is currently principal of Halswell Residential College in Christchurch, where he manages more than 120 staff and an annual budget of $6 million. “Paul has very extensive experience in Paul Kennedy
education and is well-known both locally and nationally for his ability to motivate and lead teams. We are delighted that someone of his calibre is available to the school,” Ms Foote said. Mr Kennedy qualified as a teacher in 1984 and has a Master of Education degree in educational leadership. He will take over from Malcolm Long, who has been acting principal through the period of the earthquakes. Mr Long will assume the role of deputy head.

The heat is on – protect your hair H ot summer days can damage your hair, causing it to have split ends and be frizzy. For healthy hair, you have to take the me to look a er it. Below are some easy ps to achieve shiny, fabulous hair.
EAR WAX REMOVAL*
Revitalise Hair that is regularly exposed to the sun needs plenty of deep condi oning treatments to replenish the moisture it has lost. Apply the treatment to your hair and leave it to soak for awhile. By leaving it overnight, your hair will greatly benefit as it will repair and re-moisturise.
No mess, no pain. Latest suction & microscope technology.
Back off from the heat Take a break from your blow dryers and straighteners during the summer months, but if that is a complete no-no, use a leave-in condi oner that is designed to protect your hair against heat. Tip: Blow dry your hair on high heat so your hair is exposed to heat for a shorter period of me than it would on medium heat.
We also offer hearing tests & hearing aids.
Protect your locks Leave-in hair products with SPF protec on will help protect your hair from sun damage on those long hot days.

Cover up When you find yourself out in the sun, the beach, or at the pool, protect your hair with a funky hat.
Trim ups Have your hair trimmed every six weeks to keep it looking healthy and help prevent it from being damaged and ge ng split ends.
Hydrate Drink plenty of water! It not only helps to keep your skin so and free from blemishes, but will keep your hair flush with fluids.
Release your nega ve emo ons How o en do you make statements or think thoughts that judge others? We tend to judge others more when we are not feeling happy about ourselves. Somehow, by cri cising others, we think it makes us be er. What a mix-up! Funnily enough, the very thing we are cri cising in others is probably the thing we don’t like in ourselves. We can recognise it in others. When we are feeling happy about ourselves, then we can tolerate more from other people. In fact, we are more likely to understand others and be kind to them. So look a er yourself first, release the nega ve emo ons, and find your own true happiness that is inside you all the me. annette@emotionaltherapy.co.nz

Simply provide a warm frost-free posi on, plenty of water, and fer liser. Basil will not grow in cold temperatures and it hates being planted in cold draughty areas. A sunny windowsill is perfect, but a kitchen that receives li le sun isn’t conducive for a good harvest. Basil requires full sun in fer le-free draining moist soil. Blend in a dynamic li er and thrive all purpose fer liser
prior to plan ng in containers with Yates Premium Po ng Mix. It hates wet feet and too much water will cause mildew and damping off problems. The base of the stems will go black and the plant will die. To be safe, water basil only once or twice a week. Sow seed in spring or seek out seedlings from garden centres. Try plan ng the living basil you buy from the supermarket. However, this doesn’t always grow as they have generally been grown hydroponically and don’t take kindly to being planted into soil. Plant seedlings a er frosts have passed in October or November, depending on where you live, or plant in a warm sunny frostfree area such as on the pa o or in the greenhouse.

busy plants and to prevent flowering. Once flowering starts, the plant will go to seed and die. Begin picking as soon as the plants have a few sets of leaves. Regular picking or trimming will encourage fresh, new, sweet leaves. The older leaves get bi er as they age. A number of types of basil are available. They vary from common and purple basil to Thai and spicy varie es to bush and lemon-flavoured basils. However, although the flavour varies from type to type, how you grow it does not.
Growing together: Basil and tomatoes are great mates.

The pavers come in five sizes, with the most prac cal and popular being the 500mm x 500mm. They are available in 40mm and 50mm thickness, with the choice depending on where the pavers are to be laid such as on a driveway, for example, and the 50mm is needed to carry the weight of vehicles.

Lending a screen: Lang and Maureen Masters of Hollywood Cinema in Sumner have filled a cinematic vacuum by hosting three film festivals that would have otherwise not been screened in Christchurch. Photo: Gina McKenzie
Sumner cinema keeps movie fans happy CHRISTCHURCH film buffs haven’t missed out on any international film festivals thanks to Lang and Maureen Masters of Hollywood Cinema in Sumner. Due to February’s earthquake, the inner-city cinemas, which usually hosted film festivals, have been out of action. “We were closed for just two weeks after the earthquake with only superficial damage so we were happy to host the festivals,” Mr Masters said. The cinema hosted the Italian Film Festival, Show Me Shorts Short Film Festival, and the Chinese Film Festival. Mr Masters said that while hosting the film festival was a slight gamble, it had paid off with people from all over the city
travelling to Sumner to watch. “Business has actually been bigger since the earthquake. We do things a bit differently and offer a wide range of films.” “I also think people feel more comfortable in smaller theatres now. We have a chat with people who haven’t been out here before and let them know a bit more about Sumner.” Mr Masters had also noticed an increased attendance at matinee sessions since February’s earthquake. “We’ve never had so many people at the matinees. I think people just want to get out during the day and take their minds off what has been happening for a few hours.” With the recent closure
A night of theatre THE Loons Theatre Company kicks off its summer season with A Night of Theatre at the Old Boys' Theatre, Christ's College on Tuesday. The evening consists of one-act plays. Two plays were written by Joe Bennett and another by Dave Ladderman with a little help from William Shakespeare. Production runs until December 17 at 7.30pm daily. Tickets are $28 for adults and $20 for students. To book, visit www.theloons.co.nz or phone 328 8230.
of Movieland in Hornby, Hollywood Cinema is now the last remaining independent movie theatre currently operating in Christchurch. Mr Masters said that while independent cinemas had been on the decline in urban areas, there were still plenty remaining in smaller towns around New Zealand. “We’ve been here for 45 years and while there aren’t as many independents around, we think there is still a market for people who want to enjoy good quality films. “We’re looking at hosting a French film festival next March and have had a great deal of interest in our opera screenings.”

Book documents life in Lyttelton Samantha Early
A CHRISTCHURCH student with a soft spot for Lyttelton has produced a book documenting life in the port town over this year. Amelia de Roo chose to focus on Lyttelton for her final project of her Bachelor of Fine Arts Photography degree at the University of Canterbury. “I wanted to explore the place more and discover why I loved being over there so much.” When the February 22 earthquake struck, she wanted to carry on with the project, but asked several Lyttelton residents about it first. “I didn’t want to be shoving a camera and being intrusive to people, but a lot of them were keen to have it documented before buildings came down.” Ms de Roo worked with the Lyttelton Community House and Project Lyttelton, which kept her informed of events throughout the year. She originally intended to simply donate her finished book titled
Farewell Sweet Volcano to Lyttelton’s library, but the project has grown as the city’s libraries have bought an additional four copies and she is hosting an exhibition of about 20 selected photos this weekend. The Farewell Sweet Volcano exhibition opens tonight at the Tin Palace on Oxford Street, Lyttelton.

*we heart movies
hrough its deeds spanning over 70 years, Jeep has wri en itself into 4WD folklore by confron ng and taming some of the world’s harshest terrain, o en in the face of overwhelming odds. No river too deep, no mountain too high is pre y much the catch phrase for this 4WD warrior. Now the brand is confronted with one of the toughest mountains in its history and that is the mountain of tough, uncompromising compe on it faces in the recrea onal 4WD market. The compe ve heat in this market has gone up several notches in the last three years and is now at a point where even iconic brands like Jeep are feeling the sales heat. Jeep has hit back by upgrading its en re range for 2012 including the mid-sized Cherokee, a semi-urban SUV with serious o-road clambering abili es. The model range has been trimmed to the top spec Limited version with the choice of a 3.7-litre V6 petrol or a 4-cylinder 2.8 litre turbo diesel. Pricing compares favourably with most of its rivals with the Landrover Freelander, Toyota Highlander, and Mitsubishi Challenger heading that list. The cheapest model is the 3.7 litre V6 petrol cos ng $53,990. Despite its $5000 price premium over the petrol, the turbo diesel ďŹ ed for the road test vehicle is the one to go for. The 2.8-litre DOHC 16-valve common-rail turbo diesel was used in the test vehicle and I would have to say, to very good eect, a Variable Geometry Turbocharger to belt out 147kW at 3600 rpm and meaty 460 Nm of torque at just 1600 rpm. The la er ďŹ gure gives the motor excep onal lowspeed pulling power both on and o road. Despite a comprehensive upgrade, the motor suers from turbo lag. This refers to that painful wait when the driver hits the thro le and the motor decides to jump into ac on. A 5-speed automa c incorporates the Jeep’s Selec-Trac shi -on-the y 4WD system and does a ďŹ ne job. Hill Descent Control enables the Cherokee to ptoe down steep slopes by restric ng its speed. This is a much safer op on for the driver than feathering the brakes and then looking like a real turkey when he or she loses control of the vehicle. This Cherokee clings to the authen c square boxy retro Jeep styling. The company has never really deviated from this formula for nearly 70 years. It is star ng to look a bit clichĂŠ and in need of a styling overhaul to bring it into the 21st century. On-road handling is mid ballpark eort for a recrea onal 4WD with be er than average oroad talents. Body roll becomes a bit of a spoiler
if you push the Cherokee with any intent through the corners. The handling bar could do with being cranked up another notch or two for a model pitched at urban life stylers who largely drive on road. In case you are wondering, the Cherokee has not gone all urbanite and so in its pursuit of the lifestyle buyers. It s ll thrives on a good old arm wrestle with a rough bumpy farm or forestry track. Its control and composure comes to the fore in these situa ons, underlining how strong the Jeep 4WD DNA s ll is a er so many decades.

This translates into a stronger service level for you the customer. Service and response to customers’ needs is the cornerstone of Advantage Tyres Christchurch opera on. “Think back to the last me you bought tyres for your car,” managing director Aaron Clark advises. “Did you get the service you were hoping for? Were all your needs listened to?”
HORNBY
At Advantage Tyres in Christchurch, you will not be offered just a cheap set of tyres, but will receive all the benefits of the world’s best tyre brands. “Many tyre businesses are built on trying to be the cheapest, but we don’t promote tyres we consider unreliable,” says Aaron. “When people buy tyres they o en buy purely on price and then find they haven’t got what is really important to them. We think differently. Customers tell us what they want, and we’ll match the product to their needs, at a price that suits them. We have aligned ourselves with brands with proven manufacturing methods and performance and have access to well-priced products on the shelf and ready to go.” Advantage Tyres has been offering a mobile commercial tyre service in Christchurch for 11 years. Three years ago they acquired premises to offer all customers a drive through facility that is second to none in Christchurch. They have built one of the best facili es of its type in Christchurch, incorpora ng a modern air-condi oned wai ng-room with great coffee, the polished concrete workshop floor, all in-floor hoists to eliminate trolley jack damage on vehicles, all brand new equipment and the latest wheel alignment machine.

“No vehicle leaves the workshop un l all your pressures have been checked, the tyres have been blackened, and every wheel nut has been checked by hand with a torque wrench,” says Aaron.

“Every customer receives this level of service, whether they drive an old Cor na, Aston Mar n or a 730HP Scania truck.”

What’s in it for me? WHAT’S in it for me would have to be the question asked by prospective investors in a revised Super 15 rugby competition. New Zealand rugby’s CEO Steve Tew has made the announcement that the NZRU are seeking expressions of interest from companies and/or individuals to link up with four of the five Super franchises. It begs the question, why on earth would they want to? From my point of view the NZRU’s announcement is “hamfisted” at best and a jumble of a package at worse. Having been involved for all my working life “asking for the order”, there are some very basic rules you have to follow. One of the key ingredients in any request is quite simply “what will both of us get out of the partnership?” The sponsorship dollar is shrinking by the day in the New
Pete Smith
Zealand market place. Poker machine money is disappearing down the gurgler as the number of machines is now capped nationally. More and more major companies are now owned internationally. More and more organisations are knocking on the big boys’ doors with their begging bowls out. Quite frankly the pool of sponsorship money versus the number of people trying to get a piece of the action is ballooning. Gone are the days when
Coming champs ELEVEN-year-old Bella Wilson and her 13-year-old brother Jack both recently won surfing competitions. Bella, who attends New Brighton Catholic School, won the under 12 section of the South Island surfing contest held at North New Brighton beach last month. Jack, who is in his final year at South New Brighton School, was placed second in the under 14 section and third in the under 17 section. Bella and Jack have surfing in their blood as their father Shane is a keen surfer. Congratulations Bella and Jack and good luck with your future sporting careers!
companies and well heeled individuals felt an obligation to support local activities. Most companies have to report to boards of hard-nosed business people nowadays, who want answers to probing questions to justify the spend being sought. From what I can make out of what Tew is reported to be proposing, it appears to be a call for some people to come forward to stop the bleeding that every franchise and for that matter nearly every provincial rugby union is experiencing in these tough economic times. Sorry Steve, but from what I can make out, there quite frankly isn’t enough give and far too much take in what you are proposing. I would be very surprised if you get anyone lining up at headquarters to wave the magic wand to overcome the very real dilemma most sports and charities are experiencing in this very tough economic time.
