NIGEL delivers Red Cross meals on his, Jane uses hers to get the groceries and Steven takes his two kids for a spin in his… cargo bike. They’re part of what they hope will be a growing trend in Christchurch, people ditching four wheels for two, or in the case of cargo trikes, three. Cargo bikes are bicycles with added capability for carrying larger loads - they can be commercially made or home-made and the attachments range from trailers to boxes, to side compartments. “There are remarkably few regulations so it’s using your common sense, which is a nice way for it to be, long may it last,” cyclist Steven Muir, who is organising a cargo bike rally on the weekend, said. University of Canterbury PhD researcher Jane Pearce, who is studying the cargo bike movement, estimated there were about 25 people using them in Christchurch. On a research trip to Portland, Oregon last June she noticed

their expanding popularity. “There was one six years ago, now there are 600. When people see what they can do, the potential for it to grow is huge.” She uses hers for everyday errands including grocery shopping. “It’s got a lot of potential, we think, for people living on low incomes to get their mobility without having to get caught in the cycle of having to own an expensive car.” Mr Muir did an audit of his car habits and found out he only tended to drive when he needed to carry things, for example taking his musical instruments to band practice. So he built a three-wheeled bike with a large box at the front – it fits his two “pretty large” children. “My car use has dropped by 90 per cent at least…I can carry everything I need to on my bikes.” He said cargo biking had environmental, health and economic benefits.

“It’s also a lot more fun to cycle than be stuck in traffic, faster and more fun,” fellow cyclist and rally organiser Felix Collins said. Mr Collins was keen to inspire other people to give it a go and consider alternatives to the habit of using cars. Nigel Rushton uses his bike to deliver hot meals for the Red Cross around central Christchurch. He had started out doing them by car like everyone else, but with roads congested following the February 2011 earthquake, he tried the bike trailer and has never looked back. “I am probably a bit faster than doing it in a car because I can take shortcuts that cars can’t.” Cargo bike enthusiasts are holding the first ever Christchurch Otautahi Cargo Bike Annual Rally (CHOCBAR) this Saturday, April 20 from 10am until 11.30am, meeting outside the Canterbury Museum for a circuit of North Hagley Park. If it’s raining on Saturday the event will be held on Sunday.

“I’m not concerned as I trust the Government, and they have our best interests at heart.”

“I am not worried about it.”

“I’m concerned, but I approve of it only if they are spying on somebody who poses a real threat or danger.”

“No, if the Government is concerned about someone, then I would give my approval to do it. We need to protect our rights and our country.”

“In the light of everything which is happening in Christchurch, it is not a major worry for me.”

“Laws need to be followed. If you are law abiding, there should be nothing to spy on.”

Digital switchover countdown: 10 days to go Jo Kane | jo@mainlandpress.co.nz

CANTABRIANS don’t need new televisions to go digital but everyone will need a TV with Freeview built-in or the right set-top box together with a UHF aerial or satellite dish. Every TV needs to go digital if it is to continue receiving pictures as do DVD and video recorders. With all of the South Island’s television transmission due to switch from analogue digital in 10 days’ time, Broadcasting Minister Craig Foss is urging South Island residents to ensure their televisions can receive a digital signal in time (by April 28). “Up to 10 per cent of South Island households are still yet to get digital television so I urge everyone to make sure they’re ready by next weekend. Going digital means New Zealanders will have better reception and improved picture quality, and while I know most of you have already gone digital, I’d encourage you to check that your friends and family have as well,” he said. Mr Foss recently came to Christchurch to meet with community organisations including Age Concern, Tenants Protection and Grey Power to ensure that everyone has access to

information about the switchover . National Manager of Going Digital Greg Harford recommended for people to take action now to go digital. When Hawke’s Bay went digital last year there were people who waited until the last minute and then had to go without TV for a time because installers were fully booked, he said. While more than 92 per cent of South Island households with a TV already made the switch to digital television and the vast majority were aware that analogue transmission is due to finish on April 28, Mr Foss was hopeful the last remaining households would be in time for the switch over. Right up until then, Going Digital advisers will be out and about talking with people and discussing what needs to be done to make sure everyone can keep watching TV. To find out exactly where they will be, check online at www.goingdigital.co.nz The Government has made available a targeted assistance scheme to help those who were reliant on television and most likely to face technical and financial barriers to going digital.

Nicky Wagner MP for christchurch central

Let’s keep working together as Christchurch moves ahead

The eligibility criteria are: • those who have a TV who and who do not yet have Freeview, Sky or Vodafone, and who are either: • aged 75 and over with a Community Services Card; or • recipients of a Veteran’s Pension or Invalids’ Benefit; or • former Veteran’s Pension and Invalid’s Benefit recipients who transferred to NZ Superannuation at age 65 or over. Recipients will receive the supply and installation of all the necessary equipment to convert one existing television in each household, plus training in its use and technical Technical support: Broadcasting Minister Craig support for 12 months. Almost any television Foss, right, observes as a Christchurch resident has digital television installed. Photo: Supplied can go digital with the right equipment.

Council to insure itself Tom Doudney | tom@mainlandpress.co.nz

THE Selwyn District Council has opted to start its own insurance fund to cover its assets against any future earthquakes. Although the council’s assets are insured with Lumley General Insurance with a value of more than $170 million, that policy does not include earthquake insurance because of the limited cover that had been available after the Canterbury earthquakes. The high premiums led the council to consider providing its own cover. After receiving an internal report on various options at a meeting last month, councillors voted to open the fund with an initial contribution of $10 million. Accrued interest from this would be used to supplement general rate funding. A further $1.2 million will be

added from dividends the council received last year. It was also decided that the continuation of the fund would be reviewed annually in June, beginning this year. Council corporate services manager Douglas Marshall said the fund would be built up with contributions of between $200,000 and $250,000 a year until it reached a total of about $15 million. At that point a review of how much money the fund needed to retain would be staged. “We will also be reviewing the situation with quake insurance annually anyway because it may be that it becomes more affordable and reasonable to buy externally in the future,” Mr Marshall said.

Causeway to close for six months THE Main Road causeway to Redcliffs and Sumner will be closed to all traffic for six months for earthquake repairs. The repairs are being done by Fulton Hogan as part of the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT). During that time all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians, will need to take a detour along McCormacks Bay Road, which will add half a kilometre to the causeway route length but is not expected to create additional delays. Work begins in the second week of the school holidays, Monday, April 29, so people can get used to the detour while traffic is lighter. Two main factors led to the decision by

SCIRT and Christchurch City Council traffic engineers to temporarily close the road, SCIRT general manager Duncan Gibb said. These were safety and cost-effectiveness. “Safety for road users as well as the SCIRT crews over the winter, when visibility is often poor, was the most important factor. And by taking all the traffic off the causeway, the project will be completed in a shorter time frame - at least two months if not more - in time for summer. In turn, the shorter time frame reduces the cost of the project,” Mr Gibb said. The detour route around McCormacks Bay Rd is being repaired in some places before the causeway work starts. Work on the Maffeys

Road retaining wall by SCIRT delivery team City Care is almost complete, which means McCormacks Bay Rd can be fully reopened. Fulton Hogan will monitor and maintain the detour route once the project starts. “We hope that people will drive to the conditions on the new detour route. If people can be courteous it will help ease the transition for McCormacks Bay residents and business owners,” Mr Gibb said. He said Fulton Hogan and their traffic management team would be monitoring the situation on McCormacks Bay Rd once the causeway was closed to traffic, and had been in discussions with people from the Mount Pleasant farmers market and others to ensure

safety for all parties. “Accommodating cyclists and creating a safe passage for pedestrians may mean that some parts of McCormacks Bay Rd lose a bit of parking,” Mr Gibb said. SCIRT has advised the organisers of the Saturday morning farmers’ market to speak to the council regarding extra parking areas on the council reserve. Fulton Hogan may also look into an option of making temporary car park spaces available on Main Road in the worksite, which is inactive over the weekend. However, this would have to be managed by a parking warden/traffic manager, which the farmers’ market would have to supply, Mr Gibb said.

Tom Frewen

Spies and gobbledygook Who creates jobs? AS the nights start to draw in and the days seem go by so quickly we seem to be bombarded with all manner of security leaks. With that comes a lack of confidence in the systems that are put in place to respect and honour our private information and our right to access them. We expect our private information and the responses to be shared with us so we can make decisions based on the very best information available whether for our health, education, finances, work or in Canterbury’s case postearthquakes. Is it too much to ask that those that hold our personal information share it with us but also make sure that it is secure from any other intrusive parties or for ill-gotten gain? The whole realm of sophisticated and technologically advanced gadgets with websites, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have some putting their whole lives out there for everyone to see. They do this willingly, knowing that once it’s in the public domain then it’s there forever. But then other people post photos or information that they have not asked permission for and at times the consequences of that come at a tragic cost and undermine our own civil rights. The sending of multiple (huge) files containing personal information seems at best sloppy but now in epidemic proportions. It seems unfathomable that there are no simple procedures that prevent such occurrences. When one thinks of a workplace and disgruntled employees, how vulnerable is our privacy when relationships go pear-shaped? The explanations or apologies for these lapses are now trite and over used. The EQC emails have added another

dimension as it seems the information attached to an email contains evaluations that are meant to help the client come to a fair apportionment of the costs to settle some claims. The disquiet now is Jo Kane about how fairly has each claim been treated. The question is why was the information not shared with the hapless homeowner who just wants to get on with their lives by restoring their homes with a honest and even handed appraisal from an organisation (EQC) that was set up to protect from natural disasters - not screw us. Spies, withholding information, inaccuracies and plain nosiness do nothing to help the general public confidence in those holding our personal files and our right to privacy. Unfortunately our lives have become open books whether we want it or not. There are those who do not appreciate, yet, the advances in technology and its web. It has become an unmanageable beast, with spammers, corrupt files, a slip of a finger, a moment’s inattention having the potential to undermine trust, confidence and the security of our most intimate details. We are vulnerable under this type of information technology and it won’t get any better as we strive for faster access to information that is all reliant on a microchip. Perhaps it’s time to bemoan the endangered species like the cheque books, cash, the daily post, physically talking to each other and even newspapers.

GOOD government is built upon the objectives of full employment, adequate housing and affordable health and education services. If that makes sense to you then you must be a socialist like Warren Freer, the Labour MP and cabinet minister who died recently aged 92. He retired in 1981 just after Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s prime minister and made ‘socialist’ a term of abuse. As repulsive as they appear, the riotous celebrations at her death last week, aged 87, are an inevitable part of her legacy. “There is no such thing as society,” she famously said. No society, therefore no need for socialism which, she believed, encouraged dependence on the state. Too many people were thinking: “I have a problem, it is the government’s job to cope with it” or “I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it”. If Warren Freer’s beliefs were the norm in the three decades after World War II, Margaret Thatcher’s represent the second 30 years. That’s enough time to judge how well individualism and the free market have done in delivering the objectives of full employment, adequate housing and affordable health and education services. In Auckland, you would have to say the market has created a total dog’s breakfast of housing, not to mention the leaky buildings crisis.

What about full employment, remembering that it is just an ‘objective’? Well, jobs are no longer on the Government’s to-do Tom Frewen list. “What the Opposition does not get,” social development minister Paula Bennett told Parliament last week, “is that it is not actually the Government that creates jobs; it is businesses.” But the Government does create jobs. Walk down Lambton Quay at lunchtime and every second or third person with a briefcase is probably a Government spy, one of 500 working in nearby office blocks. Spending on them has shot up over the past 10 years, from $23 million per annum in 2003 to $57 million today at the GCSB (300 employees), and from $15.6 million to $40 million at the SIS (200 employees). But the Government’s biggest job creation scheme is in the finance sector. The partial privatisation of state-owned energy companies will generate $100 million in fees for the bankers, advisers, accountants and parasitical professions such as communications that are the real legacy of Thatcherism/ Rogernomics - and who now decide which health and education services we can afford.

Tom Frewen's career as a journalist began at the Otago Daily Times and Radio Otago. After an overseas experience at the BBC he came back to be editor of the Gulf News on Waiheke Island. Moving to Wellington, he started the Mediawatch and Today in Parliament

programmes on National Radio, and has reported Parliament for the past 19 years. The author of a variety of columns, going back to his student days at Otago University, he can safely claim to have spent almost all his life writing rubbish.

SINCE when did the Sydenham Cemetery become a dog park? Here, there is a regular procession of seemingly upright citizens who having either exercised their dogs in the adjoining Bradford Park, then stroll through the cemetery while allowing their animals to free range unseen until called. Unbelievably, others simply drive into the car park and let their dog out for a while. Our much-loved mother’s funeral in February was ordeal enough without also having to pick our way carefully across heavily fouled grass, to reach her gravesite. Family members visit several times each week, and on nearly every occasion, there are confrontations with any number of roaming, leaping dogs, before having to deal with the disgusting mess that they have left behind on the

It is not so much that some local dog owners blithely ignore the council signs about keeping dogs leashed in this area, but clearly that they show a total lack of respect for what is a burial ground, and for the people who visit it.

‘We did it for our grandchildren’ Akaroa marine reserve approved Samantha Early | samantha@mainlandpress.co.nz

CONSERVATION Minister Nick Smith was in Akaroa on Sunday to announce the approval of a new marine reserve in Akaroa Harbour. “Akaroa is an iconic harbour that is hugely popular for recreation and tourism but its marine life is degraded. I have approved this new reserve around the spectacular Dan Rogers Bluff because it will enhance the area, assist scientific study and benefit the public,” Dr Smith said. The Akaroa Harbour Marine Protection Society Inc. made a formal application for the marine reserve in January 1996. The formal consultation had 2334 submissions in support and 709 objections, with the principal opponents being Ngāi Tahu and recreational fishers. “I have carefully considered the passionate and strongly felt arguments put by both supporters

and opponents of this reserve. I have not upheld the objections but have decided to adjust the northern boundary by 55 hectares, reducing the reserve to 475ha, to take account of concerns from customary and recreational fishers. “It is my usual preference to secure some degree of consensus about the desirability of having new areas of marine protection, as was the case with my announcement last month of five new marine reserves on the West Coast of the South Island. This has not been possible with the Akaroa proposal despite the best endeavours of six ministers over nearly two decades. I concluded, with the support of both the applicant and principal objectors last month, that consensus in this case was not possible and that I needed to proceed to make a decision.”

reserve at Pōhatu - Flea Bay, which was approved. The local iwi had applied in 1997 for the whole harbour area to be covered by a taiapure, which allows a committee nominated by the local Maori community to advise the Minister of Fisheries on regulations to control all types of fishing in the area. Though it would have offered some protection, Mr and Mrs Reid said it wasn’t enough and a full marine reserve was needed. “We support the notion of managing fisheries if the fisheries are healthy now, but it had gone so far downhill we needed more drastic action,” Mrs Reid said. The process to sort that out in the Maori Land Court – and get the marine reserve area excluded from the taiapure - took 10 years. Then in 2010 the couple faced another big blow when former Conservation Minister Kate Wilkinson declined the marine reserve application. They took her decision to the High Court for a judicial review and it was quashed last year. “So Nick Smith inherited this mess from Kate Wilkinson,” Mrs Reid said, adding he moved it forward very quickly after a “long and tortuous history”. Now the reserve was approved, the Reids said it would assist the taiapuri and recreational fishing. “So in a perverse sort of way we have put this in for the benefit of the people who opposed us.”

THEY could have given up many times, but they didn’t. The weekend announcement from Conservation Minister Nick Smith that a marine reserve would be established in Akaroa Harbour marked the end of a decades-long battle for Robinsons Bay couple Brian and Kathleen Reid. Together they led the Akaroa Harbour Marine Protection Society in the campaign for the reserve, through opposition from recreational fishers and Ngai Tahu, to the Maori Land Court and the High Court. The couple became involved in the cause through Mr Reid’s involvement in the local dive club. He had noticed the decline in the harbour – the disappearance of red cod which he used to be able to catch from the wharves as a kid, the reduced number of butterfish, which he used to be able to spear from the rocks. “We used to have meetings at the Duvauchelle Hotel and cry into our beer about the environment we thought was changing for the worse and we wanted to do something about it.” The couple went along to meetings of local environmental groups and noticed people seemed to be supportive of marine reserves in general, but not in their own local areas. A group settled on the location on the eastern side of the harbour and the Akaroa Harbour Marine Protection Society was formed in 1996. Meanwhile, their opponents applied for a marine

They wanted to see young people pick up the mantle, by moving forward with the new harbour regime. Though Mrs Reid has described the long process as a “millstone” around their necks, they are pleased they persevered, buoyed by the support from the scientific and wider community “You always think you are getting near the goal, and then it doesn’t work out,” Mr Reid said. She said they had to carry on because they were committed to the cause. They wanted to leave something for future generations, their grandchildren. “There was nothing in it for us.” Now they are looking forward to putting the campaign behind them and getting on with their lives. And maybe visiting the marine reserve with their grandchildren.

Harvest Festival in Akaroa

THE Akaroa Harvest Festival is on this weekend and it has some new attractions on offer in its second year. Organiser Rosie Davidson came up with the idea for the festival to fill a gap in Akaroa’s events calendar and showcase the food, wine and produce of Banks Peninsula.

Are you confused by all the roof box options? We have the answer – two boxes, either the THULE Pacific 780 or the THULE Motion 800 that will do everything, big or small car, summer or winter.

Motion 800

The prices are right, and get better if you need some roof racks too.

“All the stalls sold out so they have been well advised to bring masses of products this year,” she said. Food highlights include barbequed Banks Peninsula lamb, paua patties, traditionally smoked salmon and Barrys Bay cheeses. This year a scarecrow competition and auction

will be held, with the profits going to the Akaroa Integrated Family Health Centre and Hospital. The community event will be held at the Akaroa Recreation Ground this Saturday, April 20, from 10am until 4pm and more information is available online at www.akaroa.com.

Wakamarama Robin Slow was born in Blenheim (Wairau), later moving to Christchurch where he completed a Diploma of Teaching with an art major at Christchurch Teachers’ College. For the last 29 years he has been teaching art at Golden Bay High School, Takaka, Mohua/Golden Bay. The teaching of art has been a focus for him but in turn it has provided a learning and development opportunity for his own work and progression. Robin has a solo show titled Wakamarama – Illuminate, at Little River Gallery, opening on April 20th. The works are a weaving of different forms and motifs using the kokowai and paint to bind them. It is the interweaving of stories and histories from the people and the whenua (land) expressed in visual form. The forms, traditional and contemporary are derived from the past to express the present. They work the light of Te Ao Marama between

the spaces of Maori and Pakeha conventions. It is the ‘space between’ tapu and noa, male and female, life and death, past and future. It is a space that is active and responsive. The marks are produced by the paint, which is often from the kokowai stone gathered from Parapara Maunga (mountain). The stone is ground and mixed with binder. The gold leaf started with the journey of telling the history of gold-mining in our area, but it soon became a reflective light that allows the paintings to change with the different lights from differing times of the day to reflecting on them. The materials used are part of the story of the works. They are not ‘landscapes’ but are the whenua, the whenua and its inter-connectedness with the events of people, manu (birds), moana (sea) and plants.

ON October 31, 1944, while Allied forces fought Hitler’s troops in Europe and the battle with Japan raged across the Pacific, the General G. Randall steamed into Wellington Harbour carrying more than 800 Polish refugees, including 734 orphaned children. The refugees had made a harrowing journey from Poland, through Russia and Iran in order to find safety on our shores and although they may not have known it at the time, many of them would come to settle here for good. Following the war, the rise of communism in Eastern Europe made a return to Poland a risky proposition and today, despite the fact that Polish immigrants had been slowly trickling into the country for almost a century prior to WWII, these orphans and their descendants still make up a large chunk of New Zealand’s Polish population

– perhaps 2000 to 3000 out of a total of between 6000 and 7000, according to Ms Stoczynska. Official diplomatic relations began with the opening of the Polish Embassy in Wellington in 1973, although no ambassador was stationed there. In 2005 both countries decided to step up the relationship with then-Prime Minister Helen Clark opening a New Zealand embassy in Warsaw and Poland appointing its first ambassador to Wellington. Ms Stoczynska, the second to hold the ambassador’s post, is keen to remember the past; however she also talks enthusiastically about the future. Trade between New Zealand and Poland increased 40 per cent from 2010 to 2011 and just last year reached a value of $100 million.

Although she acknowledges that due to geography and other economic factors, neither of the two nations are likely to ever consider the other one of their primary trading partners, she is optimistic there is still plenty of room for growth to continue. Woman on a mission: “What Poland can Polish ambassador offer New Zealand Beata Stoczynska. is our 40 million customer market, so it’s a big country. We’re a part of Europe, a member of the European Union, we have a lot of foreign investment already, and we’re a very young developed country so we’re a good partner for New Zealand.” It’s no surprise that the bulk of New Zealand exports to Poland are agricultural products and wine – but what does Poland send our way? Machinery, pharmaceutical products, home appliances, furniture and glass are among the main imports. With only three staff, including Ms Stoczynska, Wellington has the smallest Polish embassy in the world – but it’s a hardworking one. Aside from the routine functions of dealing with passports, visas, citizenship and legal support, the embassy promotes Polish culture in a variety of ways, such as by organising concerts and exhibitions for Polish artists. “To create a good platform for economic cooperation, we are focusing now very much on a kind of public diplomacy and cultural exchange and we have already seen results. “It works because when people know each other better they simply co-operate.” On May 3 Poland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski will observe Poland’s national day at the embassy in Wellington. On New Zealand’s part, Attorney-General Chris Finlayson visited Poland in January where he met government officials and visited Auschwitz. Last month the Polish community in Canterbury opened a new library housed in the Central Library Peterborough, after they lost their old one in the February 2011 earthquake.

First milk train steams in A NEW rail link into Fonterra’s Darfield site opened on Friday and is expected to carry 200,000 metric tonnes of milk powder in its first year of operation. Fonterra director John Monaghan said it was all about taking Canterbury’s milk to the world. “This new rail link connects Fonterra’s Darfield’s distribution centre to New Zealand’s busiest rail line through to Lyttelton, port of Christchurch. From there it’s on to China, South East Asia and the Middle East,” he said. General manager logistics, network development and design Andy Sanderson said the rail link would benefit local motorists by reducing truck movements. “The train is expected to carry the freight of approximately 90 trucks every day when the second drier comes on line later this year,” he said. “Rail also delivers environmental and financial benefits with fewer emissions and economies of

scale that mean we drive better returns to our farmer-shareholders.” The site’s second distribution centre has also been completed on schedule and progress on the site’s second drier remains on track, with the first milk powder scheduled for late August. Minister for the Environment and Selwyn Member of Parliament Amy Adams was among the guests to arrive on the first train. She officially declared the rail link open a short time later.

Samantha Early samantha@mainlandpress.co.nz

WORLD Entrepreneurship Day was celebrated on Monday but Seven Oaks School had a head start. Pupils from the independent school had a stall at the Christchurch Farmers Market, held at Riccarton Bush, on Saturday. The independent school’s Opawa site was previously used for horticultural courses, so it has lots of tunnel houses, vegetable gardens and fruit trees. Principal Owen Arnst said from the age of five, the school’s students were involved in growing produce in the school’s gardens, so they had a lot of produce and each term they joined with one of the local farmers’ markets to set up a stall. Often they sell vegetable seedlings but at the moment, it’s harvest time. “It’s a really great place for the children to interact with the public,” Mr Arnst said. As well as selling fresh produce, the students

look for ways to add value to their goods. One of the budding entrepreneurs, Jennifer Lewis, 12, said they worked on dehydrating apples and putting them in bags to sell. “We are doing quite a lot to do with apples. We’ve done apple jelly, apple syrup, dehydrated apples and we have done chocolate-coated feijoas and other stuff like that as well.” Sarah Carson, aged eight, is one of the keenest entrepreneurs and is always looking for opportunities to sell the school’s produce. “She regularly negotiates a deal with me to sell some of her personal produce from home on a commission basis and even had a stall set up at our last open day,” Mr Arnst said. Sarah said she had been collecting chestnuts and putting them in bags, along with a recipe. “We’ve been getting plants from home to sell at the markets and some flowers and once we took some baking,” she said.

Mr Arnst said the market days gave the children something to build towards and the school was focused on hands-on learning. “There’s lots of reading, lots of writing, lots of maths involved in planning for an opportunity like this, it’s real learning based on real experiences.” Jennifer said she liked taking part in the market days. “I enjoy dealing with real live customers and dealing out the right amounts of change,” she said. Although raising money isn’t a big part of the operation, the children still get to enjoy the fruits of their labours. “[They] have their own fundraising account and they are able to make decisions themselves about how they use that to enhance the school grounds, to buy sports equipment for themselves and perhaps to give some of it away too,” Mr Arnst said.

New name for combined churches Samantha Early samantha@mainlandpress.co.nz

SOUTH West Baptist Church is the new name for the combined Spreydon and Halswell Baptist churches. The name was confirmed by vote at the church’s annual general meeting, held last week. Spreydon Baptist Church has a history in the area dating back more than 140 years; Halswell Baptist was started as an offshoot of Spreydon 30 years ago, but had since developed its own programmes. The churches decided to merge as south-west Christchurch was experiencing massive growth following the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. It’s estimated about 20,000 new people will move into the area in the next few years. “With a concern for the spiritual and social wellbeing of these people and their communities in mind the two churches have come back together to pool their resources and people to serve the wider community,” senior pastor Alan Jamieson said. He said the church was seeking to be even more connected to the local community. “We are now operating as one church, on two sites with many local communities. “Our hope is that together we can support the reduction of negative statistics like truancy and family violence and support things which made a thriving community, like involving children in sport and helping families to access community services and resources.” He said the Spreydon and Halswell Baptist churches had slowly built up a respected name in the community. “We hope this respected name will pass to South West Baptist church and will further grow in the future.”

Need storage while your earthquake repairs are being carried out? Need packaging materials? Taking pride: Senior pupils from Hornby Primary School got stuck in to keeping their local park clean and tidy last week. Principal Gary Roberts said the school had ‘adopted’ Kyle Park on Waterloo Road, which is just across the street, and will spend an hour twice a term picking up rubbish to keep it looking clean and tidy. “The initiative fits in well with the school’s values around respect. Respect for yourself, respect for others and respect for the environment,” Mr Roberts said. The school also participates annually in the School Enhancement Programme run by the Christchurch City Council, he said. Photo: Daphne Day

Easter fun for Beckenham DESPITE being a brand-new venture, organisers of The Well’s Family Easter Celebration at Beckenham School on Easter Sunday say it was a huge success. Assistant Pastor Logan Hoffman said the recent Easter weekend saw the beginning of something new in the Beckenham community. The Well is a new Wesleyan Methodist Church that meets at Beckenham School every Sunday at 10am. Its office is based in Addington. Easter was the first time The Well, which has only been meeting since February 10, had hosted such a gathering; Pastor Hoffman said it didn’t look like it would be the last. More than 500 chocolate Easter eggs were distributed throughout the park and playground just outside the school hall, only to be quickly claimed by enthusiastic children. More than 75 people enjoyed a church service that featured lively and contemporary music, an understandable and relatable message and an energetic kids’ programme, he said. Mother of two Maria Lamb

attended The Well for the first time on Sunday. “The main highlight of our visit was the liveliness and happiness that was felt,” she said. “Both my children were taken instantly by the music! We’ve never encountered a celebration like it before.” Pastor Hoffman said many families were brought together for worship, fun for the kids and a shared meal, which included a barbeque. “This was a positive addition to the community, and to the Easter weekend, for many families.” Local resident and mother of one Michelle Barrett described the celebration as a “life-changing experience”. There was a “sense of being united in our beliefs whilst having fun,” she said. The church’s leadership indicated there were plans to continue to host community events and to find ways to serve the people in the Beckenham area. More information about The Well can be found online at thewellnz.org.

braxton lights ‘serVicing canterbury for oVer 15 years’ Braxton Car Lights manager Richard Vernimmen holds examples of the company’s workmanship in light refurbishment.

Braxton Car Lights’ expert Bryan Chang refitting a light into its housing in the company’s repair workshop.

Braxton Car Lights stands out in Brougham Street.

Your car needs at Braxton

hen it comes to finding replacement car lights for any type of vehicle, make or model, Braxton Car Lights at 325 Brougham Street is the number one source, with a huge on-site range, a wide-ranging national and international network and a computerised system to match any request to the right replacement. Richard Vernimmen, sales manager for Braxton Car Lights in Brougham St, says the division of the BE Group covers the South Island. It has, or can, quickly locate replacement lights, or performance lamps for any kind of vehicles. Imports come from Japan (a monthly container load of parts arrives for the BE Group), Australia and Europe, as well as locally sourced replacements. “The beauty about our system is that we have it over others, because if we don’t have it in this building, or through

other wreckers nationally, we go to Japan, or Taiwan to our contacts there,” says Richard. He says the Braxton network is huge, from new replacements, to secondhand parts, which he says are always checked and ready to go. “We make sure our replacements are always warrantable.” “Within the group we have over 100,000 lights and that’s our big advantage; our big nationwide network – it’s a huge advantage.” The Brougham Street branch of the nationwide Braxton Car Lights network also specialises in repairs for light adjusters and light conversion of American car lights. With parts specialist Bryan Chang working almost full-time on light repairs, prices can be much reduced, sometimes half the price of a new one.

That’s especially important, says Richard, with more latemodel cars on the road - meaning new replacements are more expensive. With over 60 years’ combined experience, our staff are dedicated to saving customers money. Braxton Car Lights repair service includes plastic welding, drying out and resealing, resilvering and lens refurbishment. While Braxton Car Lights does only smaller repair work on vehicles, it works closely with garage workshops to provide the best parts and service. All Braxton’s parts or services can be arranged through local garages or workshops. Drop by Braxton Car Lights at 325 Brougham Street, between Buchan and Gasson streets, phone them on (03) 365 3600, or check the website www.begroup.co.nz.

ARTS AND entertainment

THURSDAY April 18 2013

Art talent on show at Burnside THE upcoming Art@Burnside exhibition is being held for the third time this year and follows last year’s very successful event. The initiative was created by the Burnside Bowling Club as a community project aimed at supporting the development of sport and youth bowls, and is also an opportunity for local artists to display and sell their work. There will be two guest artists, Rob Barton and Christine Diedrichs, as well as high-quality artists Min Kim, John Brassell and Linelle Stacey.

Barton grew up in West Auckland and from an early age showed an interest in art. He modelled his work on Cezanne and Degas and expressionists – Edvard Munch was a favourite. Barton gained an A bursary in painting and although he was accepted into the fine arts course at Otago University, he decided to travel. His goal is to become a full-time artist. Diedrichs was born in Christchurch. She has worked in the hairdressing industry for more than 20 years, along with owning a salon with her husband. She has visited many countries,

and has always enjoyed colour and creating. An emerging artist, she endeavours to grow and be influenced by modern artists. Art@Burnside will present more than 500 artworks by 80 artists in a range of forms including paintings, photography, pencil drawings and fabric. The exhibition is being held upstairs and downstairs in the Burnside Bowling Club, 330 Avonhead Road on Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28, from 10am to 4.30pm. Entry $2 adults, under 16 years free.

What has changed is that since he relocated his film-making to Europe, his films no longer have that uptight New York angst that used to characterise almost everything he did in his earlier career (this is not necessarily a bad thing, of course). Although it was actually made in 2010 and held back until Midnight in Paris was such a hit, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is Allen’s latest New Zealand release. Set in London, it follows only child Sally (Naomi Watts) as she negotiates her way around her parents’ separation and the fact that her father (Anthony Hopkins) is enjoying every cliché imaginable with a brainlessly hot escort, while her mother (Gemma Jones) is reduced to seeking the advice of an obviously fraudulent fortune teller. As if that wasn’t enough to be dealing with, Sally has her own issues: a stalled career,

frustrated reproductive system and a dropkick husband (Josh Brolin) who has a severe case of writer’s block and a growing fascination with their alluring guitar-playing neighbour (Slumdog Millionaire’s Frida Pinto). Allen’s work has always attracted good actors and this film is no exception. In typical Allen style the film analyses the characters’ predicament in considerable detail without actually taking them anywhere - and it does work well as an ensemble piece. It’s full of his wry observations about human nature and there are flashes of scriptwriting brilliance, but overall the plot is a little laboured, despite throwing in a chronically under-employed Antonio Banderas as Sally’s flirtatious gallery-owning boss. driven tension of 2005’s Match Point. If there is a downside, and as I said earlier, it’s Nevertheless, if you are a fan of Woody Allen’s simply that there are no real surprises here - you work, this should not disappoint. know what you are getting before you buy the popcorn.  While I enjoyed this film more than the critically You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is now lauded Midnight in Paris, it doesn’t have Vicky playing at the Hollywood in Sumner, ph Christina Barcelona’s sparkle, or the edgy plot3266102.

Ballads and Badlands tour Champion band to THIS New Zealand Music Month Nadia Reid and Luckless are covering the country on their ‘Ballads and Badlands’ tour, offering their stories and songs to whoever will lend them an ear. Nadia Reid, 21, was born in Port Chalmers, grew up in Christchurch and is now making songs in Auckland. She presents songs of love and loss, echoing songwriters such as Beth Orton or Laura Marling. Formerly of Auckland, now living as a musical nomad, Ivy Rossiter of Luckless released her debut album in 2012. She is working on

her second record, exploring her liking for unexpected and challenging musical directions. Reid’s acoustic new-folk cadence and clarity together with Rossiter’s distorted abrasiveness and looping chaos will present a set of badland ballads, both new originals and long-familiar favourites. The Ballads and Badlands Tour will be visiting towns nationwide from May 9 to 26. They will play the Darkroom in Christchurch on Thursday May 9 and the Hilltop Tavern, Little River on Friday May 10. Tickets are available from www.undertheradar.co.nz.

THE Canterbury Yachting Association wants to see a future water sports hub based at Scott Park in Mount Pleasant. Canterbury Yachting Association president Shane Smith said centralising resources at a single location would give yachting and other water sports greater public visibility. From this perspective Scott Park, where Mt Pleasant Yacht Club is based, was desirable because of the number of people walking and travelling through the area. “There is a lot of planning to go through but at this stage Canterbury Yachting definitely supports Scott Park. There is no better facility that has been found as yet.” Mr Smith said the site also had its disadvantages, with the best sailing water being located towards the middle and northern side of the estuary. However this was outweighed by the visibility aspect which would be reinforced by the planned Coastal Pathway walkway and cycle route. “There are other water sports that are active in the area and it is how we can pull all of them in together. So the initiative at Scott Park is really starting from a yachting place and looking at drawing in these other sports that also use the estuary but don’t currently belong to an organisation.”

Mr Smith said the Christchurch City Council was already engaged in talks with yachting and other stakeholders such as Sea Scouts, stand up paddle boarding and wind surfing, on the future of the Scott Park facilities. While not all of those had yet put their support behind the proposal for a hub, Mr Smith believed it made good sense. “Each of the individual sports are probably looking to locate separate facilities on Scott Park but I just don’t see the benefit in having showers, toilets and administration facilities duplicated three or four times.” Sport Canterbury earthquake recovery manager Vaughan Utteridge said the organisation was supportive of the idea. “We would endorse it as there is a need for sports to hub and especially the water sports where there are natural synergies,” Mr Utteridge said. “The concept of sports ‘hubbing’ is an idea we’re driving in almost all sports to make them sustainable.” A Christchurch City Council spokesperson acknowledged they were aware of the idea but said the council was not doing any work on it at this stage and did not wish to comment further.

vegetables. I have grown pumpkins and capsicums from seeds saved from the previous season’s crop. Potatoes that have accidentally sprouted in the bag can also be planted. It’s fun to play around and experiment with seeds and planting: you will be delighted when one of your experiments succeeds. As long as you have soil and water you should be able to grow something, even if you are a beginner. The more success you have, the more you will love gardening. I suggest people look at what vegetables their family members prefer and have a go at growing these. Tomatoes, lettuces, onions

One of two copies of Pig Tits & Parsley Sauce

y best advice to the budding home gardener is just do it. In my family we are not great gardeners, we are not experts and we do not spend much time in the garden, yet we are able to grow basic vegetables and heaps of them, which eases a lot of pressure on the grocery budget. If you are lucky enough to have plenty of space available for a garden, then away you go. If you are strapped for space, you will have to be more inventive and make the most of what is available. You may have to have a container garden or window boxes or a roof garden or a wall garden – but if you think outside the square you should be able to utilise some space somewhere to grow something. Some areas provide a shared space called a community garden – find out if there is one near you. The internet is an invaluable resource for ideas and if you are not internet-savvy, then go to the library and look up some books on

gardening. Keep it simple and plant things that are easily grown in your area. Your local community garden group will know what will grow in your area if you are not sure, and if you have the time to join such a group, you will find they love to share their knowledge and experience. Potatoes are easy to grow. Other veges

and capsicum were always on the shopping list at our house, and we have found that we can grow these really easily from either seed or seedlings, and make some huge savings. The enjoyment of grabbing fresh salad ingredients straight from the garden is unbeatable, and your homegrown produce always tastes so much better. Weeding and watering are tasks that need

doing but are easily incorporated into your daily routine so they do not become too onerous. It pays to set the garden up so these tasks can be performed easily, with a hose nearby and a few basic tools that may be purchased secondhand. You do not have to go to much expense to set up a good practical vege garden. Food scraps can be recycled as compost for your garden. I have discovered that waste products such as banana skins, eggshells and teabags can all be dug into the soil to decompose and improve the soil, which also eases pressure on the landfill. An amusing thing about gardening is that unless you are particularly skilled at staggering your crops, invariably you will have a glut of produce all ready at the same time. Too many cabbages and lettuces ready at once can sometimes occur at our place. If you really cannot invent recipes to use all of your produce in soups, sauces, relishes, stirfries, cakes and muffins, or simply freeze them (and of course some things don’t lend themselves to this), then simply give them away. I have a policy of never turning down anything I am given, even if it is something I do not think I can use easily. Waste nothing. If you give away your extra vegetables to neighbours, friends and family, one of the recipients might one day return the favour.

Blackpeak Station by Holly Ford

A compelling rural romance set in the rugged high country of New Zealand’s South Island.

GIV AWAE Y

Four generations of the Black family have farmed Blackpeak Station. Next in line, or so she believes, is Charlotte Black, stubborn as rock and unbiddable as the weather. But standing in her way are 150 years of tradition, an older brother, and a father who believes that daughters run families, not farms. To make her childhood dream of owning the family property come true, she’ll have to be as tough as the mountains themselves. There can be no room for romance in Charlotte’s life. Or so she thinks, until it arrives at her door. Can she have both love and land, or must she choose? Can Charlotte learn to trust her heart?

Starting time by Debbie Macomber

From No.1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Debbie Macomber comes a heart-warming story of friendship and new beginnings. For years, Libby Morgan dreamed only of making partner in her competitive, highpressure law firm. She sacrificed everything for her career - her friends, her marriage, her chance of a family. So nothing can prepare her for the shocking news that she’s been let go and must rebuild her entire life . . . starting now. With no job prospects in sight, Libby reaches out to old friends and spends her afternoons at A Good Yarn, the local knitting store. There, she forms a close bond with Lydia, the sweet-natured shop owner, Lydia’s spirited teenage daughter, Casey, and Casey’s best friend, Ava, a shy yet troubled girl who will shape Libby’s future in surprising and profound ways. As A Good Yarn becomes a second home-and the women a new kind of family-Libby relishes the different person she’s become. She even finds time for romance with a charming and handsome doctor who seems to be her perfect match. But just as everything is coming together, Libby must make a choice that could forever change the life she holds so dear.

Blackbird coffee is available to take home in 250g to 1kg, beans, plunger or espresso.

afé Metro in Humphries Drive, owned by Sonja Lee and Mike Turland, overlooks the estuary and is the perfect stop for local business people and residents, weekend drivers, walkers or cyclists. Sonja’s family also have the Merivale Café Metro which was opened about 18 months ago in Papanui Road and another Café Metro in St Albans, on the corner of Cranford and Westminster streets which opened in early January. All the café metros use their own coffee blend ‘blackbird’ roasted by company coffee called New City Roasters. The roastery is attached to another of their cafés, The Woolston Daily, which is open weekdays 7.30am until 4pm at 3/204 Cumnor Terrace, Woolston. One secret to the success of Ferrymead’s Café Metro is their delicious range of cabinet food which is all lovingly created on-site. Savoury and sweet muffins are perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon tea, including one that is covered with berries and served with a dollop of cream cheese.

Tomatoes great season

hot summer and continued warm temperatures has proved the ideal climate for tomato growing, with a bumper crop of sweet ripe fruit. TomatoesNZ vice-chairman Frank Van Rijen says it’s an ideal time to enjoy plenty of your favourite tomato recipes. “Fresh tomatoes are great eating and excellent value right now,” said Mr Van Rijen. “If you are planning on making preserves or pasta sauces or soups to bottle or freeze for winter, then this is also the ideal time to take advantage of great seasonal prices. “Contrary to some recent media reports that the drought has driven up tomato prices, they are selling for similar wholesale prices to the comparable period last year. “In fact, the consistently hot growing conditions, which result in increased sugar levels, have greatly assisted in the production of a large crop of very high quality tomatoes.” Mr Van Rijen said that growers had maintained a very strong focus on the supply chain following harvest to ensure that, despite the extended sizzling summer conditions, fruit quality was maintained all the way through to the consumer. “The current great prices won’t last for ever,” said Mr Van Rijen. “Growers face significantly increased costs over the cold seasons. However, right now there’s still the opportunity to enjoy all the delicious benefits of this summer’s very bountiful crop.” www.tomatoesnz.co.nz

THURSDAY April 18 2013

Bays back on top THE Ferrymead Bays football team moved back to the top of Robbie’s Mainland Premier League (MPL) table when they defeated previous leaders Cashmere Technical 3-1. Russell Kamo put Bays in front early in the game with Danny Boys levelling straight after the break. Bays were awarded two late penalties, both converted by Michael Whites with Technical playing the last 10 minutes a player down. Western maintained their unbeaten record, drawing 2-2 with Suburbs in Nelson. Brandon Kay made Western pay for some early misses when scoring after 22 minutes before Alex Pak replied from the penalty spot. Chilean Alberto Zabala restored Suburbs’ lead before the break with Daniel Thoms equalising midway into the second half. Halswell racked up a 5-0 win against FC Twenty11 with the Hawks now three from three on the road. Steve McRae and Yannick Wouts scored to leave Halswell in control at the break. Matt Smith, Jamie Atkinson and Leon Vannoort compounded FC’s misery late in the game with the result likely to set alarm bells ringing for FC who are leaking goals to the tune of three per game. Coastal Spirit and Nomads played out a close first half with Tristan Nicol putting Coastal

ahead 10 minutes before half time. Aaron Spain and Mike Willoughby added further goals, the 3-1 result ensuring the Shield did not change hands. Nomads finished the game a player down after Ryan Batty received a second yellow card and will now miss the vital home clash against FC Twenty11 this Saturday. After five rounds, Bays top the table with 12 points, two ahead of both Technical and Western. Halswell are in fourth place on 9, Suburbs have 7, Coastal 6, Nomads 3 and FC 1 point. Men’s MPL round five results: Coastal Spirit 3 (Tristan Nicol, Aaron Spain, Mike Willoughby), Nomads 0, HT 1-0; Ferrymead Bays 3 (Russell Kamo, Michael White 2 pens), Cashmere Technical 1 (Danny Boys) HT 1-0; Halswell 5 (Steve McRae, Yannick Wouts, Matt Smith, Jamie Atkinson, Leon Vannoort), FC Twenty11 0, HT 2–0; Nelson Suburbs 2 (Brandon Kay, Alberto Zabala), Western 2 (Alex Pak – pen, Daniel Thoms), HT 2-1. Women's MPL round two results: Cashmere Technical 3 (Monique Barker 2, Alana Ainsworth), Coastal Spirit 0, HT 0-0; FC Twenty11 1 (Jemma Dockerty), Western 1 (Aimee Phillips), HT 1-0; Halswell 2 (Noran Abaza, Hollie Carlisle-Reeve), University 1 (Louise Travaille), HT 1-0.

controversy in the bud. When the drama first came to light, the board and the chief executive officer had to come out on the front foot. Instead they played of the back foot or didn’t even play a shot at all in some cases. The issue at stake for me is that people’s integrity has been brought into question. The job of the national body in my mind is to, at all is this? times, put the players first – don’t treat the fans Quite simply it comes back and supporters as ‘muppets’. to the shabby way the coup was These people, like it or not, are the lifeblood handled at the very beginning. of the sport. It takes a long time to develop trust I don’t presume to know and support but it can be eroded very quickly. what went on in hotel rooms in All we, the fans, wanted was the truth, not Sri Lanka. I have no idea who some smudged version of what went on. There is right and who is wrong. Why is this? It is simply because the mixed messages that is no substitute for transparency. The more you muddy the waters, the more came out of the debacle did nothing to nip the

you come under suspicion and show your incompetency in dealing with issues. When you take on a position on a board or you are appointed a CEO you are quite rightly expected to bring expertise to the table. The current group has fallen well short when it has come to dealing with this issue. It will not ‘go away’ as they would like. It is in fact like a boil where if left it will fester and grow. Lancing it and draining out the poison allows it to heal up. What these supposedly wise men have allowed to happen is a raw sore to keep being exposed. Kill this issue dead, New Zealand Cricket, and let us all look forward to the rejuvenation of our national team which we saw sign of recently against the English.

Running mad WHEN the calendar page turned from March to April this year someone upstairs really did flick the proverbial climate switch. When the end to daylight savings delivered the final nail in summer’s coffin I really did ask myself: what ever happened to autumn? This drop in temperature we’ve experienced is not conducive to road cycling so I have found myself entertaining the idea of running for fitness-and another conundrum. My associates (other road cyclists attempting to run) and I were quickly reminded that in the running world there are two types of people: anyone that hasn’t reached adulthood or has run all their lives; and adults. Since my running feet and I are firmly planted in the latter category I have been beset by everything that a runner’s body is not. Yes, running is no longer a natural human activity like switching the jug on the morning it is a chore, a physical discomfort and a burden. I am either injured or waiting to be.

This leads to the obvious question - why run? Why do people, more specifically those registered in the second category, subject themselves to voluntary pain through what is clearly not a natural human activity to them? Well, when I run I need not immerse myself in a Usain Bolt-like dream of gliding across the city streets at some phenomenal speed. No, I am here and present and can outweigh the discomfort of running with the joy of selfpropelled movement in its simplest form. In addition, I find favour in its convenience, time efficiency and accessibility. However, no matter how much I will myself to be pain-free, or revel in its convenience, running will never be my box of fluffies. I guess, ladies and gentlemen, that is why God created the bicycle.

Cricket must stop the bleeding THERE’S an old saying that “time is a great healer” and I have no doubt that the board and CEO of New Zealand Cricket were hoping that this would be the case for them. The pity is that the more debate rages over their actions, the greater the disruption that is being caused. The whole messy, untidy series of events surrounding the changing of the national cricket team’s leadership will just not go away. Why

Improving core and back muscle strength will help

reduce back pain

re you sick of back pain? Is it slowing you down? Then visit Muscle People and take part in their new low back pain programme, with the help of their trained team of physiotherapists. More than 80% of New Zealanders suffer from a significant episode of low back pain. Of these, 84% are likely to have a recurrence of the pain within a year, says Laurie Moore from Muscle People. Spinal strength and stability is the focus of the programme, concentrating on the small muscles in the back which often don’t “switch back on” after an injury. “Recent research has contributed to the development of the low back pain programme, revealing that exercise based programmes, along with pharmaceutical medicine, that focus on improving core and back muscle strength will dramatically reduce the recurrence of back pain,” says Laurie. Client feedback to date has been positive, she says. Grant from Upper Riccarton said that he used to suffer from back pain all the time: “But now I don’t at all”. Muscle People’s low back programme suits people of all ages and fitness levels who have back or neck pain, or with core and postural weaknesses. The first step to eliminating your back pain is a telephone call to Muscle People at the YMCA in Hereford Street on 360 3606 or the Bishopdale YMCA on 961 0236. Your physiotherapist will then take you through four one on one sessions to assess your individual needs. “We want to make sure that the core muscles are correctly activated and will then prescribe individual strengthening and mobility exercises.” A weekly class follows for eight weeks along with a home exercise

programme to complement the class. Another happy client Lynda from Mairehau: “Since doing the programme I am definitely a lot less stiff getting up in the morning. I can now do tasks around the house that I haven’t been able to do for the last 18 months, like gardening and household lifting. I can jog again when I couldn’t before because of the pain, and sleeping is much better. I no longer wake up between 3am and 5am every morning.” If you are sick of suffering from low back pain, you won’t regret taking part in Muscle People’s low back pain programme – it could change your life.

Total focus is feet

reating painful feet and restoring them to healthy condition is the role of the Podiatrist, the health specialist whose total focus is feet, as is aptly conveyed by Feet First Podiatry. Feet First Podiatry, established in 2002 by Charlotte Russell, who set up her original practice, Charlotte Russell Podiatry in 1985, has been helping people in the Christchurch area with a wide range of foot problems for over 25 years. The main Feet First clinic is located at 37 Main South Road, Upper Riccarton, with branches operating out of health premises at Darfield, Dallington, Waltham, and Redcliffs. Charlotte and her colleagues Laura Pritchard and Andrew Hawkey provide professional friendly services for diabetic foot care, children’s foot problems, sports injuries, minor surgical procedures for ingrowing toenails, prescription orthoses, as well as all routine footcare requirements. They are all NZ registered and members of their professional representative group, Podiatry NZ. Charlotte has a particular interest in working with people with Diabetes, as they often develop complications associated with diabetes, such as poor circulation and loss of feeling in the feet and legs which may unfortunately result in ulcers or even amputation. As well as carrying the weight of our body, our feet must also absorb increased impact and strain as we carry out our daily activities. Foot problems can occur if people are required to stand for long periods of time with their work, such as hairdressers and retail assistants, or subjected to extra stress associated with sporting activities and they may

benefit from wearing an orthotic to support or control foot function. Feet First Podiatry provides a selection of orthotics and can recommend and advise for every situation. Older people who are active may also need good footwear and orthotic support to ensure they can remain active and healthy without experiencing foot pain. Feet First Podiatry carries the Propet brand of footwear for people who require extra depth, width or Velcro fastening options, ideal for those with arthritis or diabetes, and the new winter range of stylish shoes from Kubo are now in stock, providing an alternative choice for those who struggle to find a shoe that can fit an orthotic and still look good. Feet First Podiatry also carry the Gehwol range of footcare products for on-going management at home. For all your footcare requirements and footwear advice give Feet First Podiatry a call, any day Monday – Friday on 03 348 7910 to make an appointment or for information about any other Feet First Podiatry clinics, or visit the website www.feetfirst.co.nz. Our friendly staff are always more than willing to help with any enquiries.

Funding granted for projects in Christchurch east JessicaSchaap

RESIDENTS in the east of Christchurch will find themselves with improved facilities and services as part of the Capital Endowment Fund - Special One-Off Projects Scheme. Chairperson of the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board Linda Stewart said she was “elated” and “stoked” about the funding received for the Burwood-Pegasus ward, particularly about the funding for Dallington. “The projects we’ve gone with, they’ve not been easy fixes…a precious change will happen in a year,” she said. Dallington Community Cottage Trust received $60,000 to extend the operating period of the Dallington Community Centre. “I’m really happy that Dallington has got something at last. They’ve fallen under the radar, with no meeting place so I’m pleased about that,” Mrs Stewart said. Green Space and Belfast Community Network received $180,000 for the design and construction of a skate park at Belfast and to relocate the Belfast Community Network to a transitional facility. The skate park initiative arose out of interest

from young people in the area who approached Shirley-Papanui Councillor Ngaire Button. The Belfast Community Network has been at Belfast School since it had to vacate its premises in March last year. It will be moving to Sheldon Park, Belfast between the Belfast Bowling Club car park and the main sports field car park. Belfast Community Network Agency manager Lynda Goodrick said the community was “very excited” about the funding. “We are thrilled. We are requiring lots of help to get the rebuild out here happening.” Southshore Residents Association was granted $8062 to extend the operating period of Southshore Community House. Without the funding they have enough money to keep operating until November this year, but the council funding allows them to operate until February, 2014. Southshore Residents Association chairperson Bill Simpson said the association was “very pleased” about the funding, which will help them to support people who are going through difficulties due to the Christchurch earthquakes. “We wanted to keep it going for as long as we could. The residents association feel if we can go to February or March we would have met

The tennis club is open but the money will go towards putting rubber on the tennis courts. Life member Ethna Rouse said the club was “over the moon” about the funding. Other funding granted for the east of Christchurch included $150,000 towards a Community Support Unit Crime Prevention

Team to implement community safety initiatives in New Brighton, $100,000 to undertake Burwood/Pegasus Ward-wide beautification, $35,000 approved for the operation of the Central New Brighton Pool over summer 2014, $14,000 to purchase a new 4WD vehicle for Burwood-Pegasus Community Watch and $130,000 for the purchase and development of the Pay It Forward Community Facility, which would support community initiatives in the Shirley/Mairehau area.

The survey also found many homeowners moved quickly once they were told they were in the red zone but they have been stuck for months waiting for the consents to be issued and are now further delayed because of problems getting builders and project managers. Residents in the red zone in Southshore have been given until June 30 to settle and vacate their properties. The survey indicated as many as 30 of the 150 red-zoned homeowners were struggling to meet the June deadline.

Shirley and Richmond students show their talent hands. Concert organiser Shauna Robins said she was really happy with the turnout. “Over 200 people came despite the roadworks and cold weather. There was a really great vibe and community spirit happening. The best thing was seeing children, young people and members of the community get together and have a good time.” Churchill Park is a temporary park that was created when the retirement home, Churchill Courts, was demolished after the 2011 earthquakes. There have been a Aasha, Will and Cullen were the winners. number of working bees at the park, with people sowing grass seed, installing picnic tables and creating earthquake remembrance art.

Signing: Paper Plus New Brighton owner Blair Hughes with Musings from Middle Age author Kerre Woodham.

JessicaSchaap

PEOPLE turned up at New Brighton and Merivale Paper Plus stores last week to have personality Kerre Woodham sign her new book Musings from Middle Age, which is about what it’s like going through a mid-life crisis. Shirley Herd, who was at the Merivale store, said she listens to Kerre on Newstalk ZB. “I listen to her talkback every night which puts me to sleep. I just wanted to have a read of what’s happening in her life.” Gaynor Closel went to Merivale, not for the book but to see Kerre Woodham. “I just want to say hello to Kerre. I’ve already got her book. I listened to her from the beginning when she was first on radio.” Ms Woodham said most of the people who turned up to her book

signings listened to her on the radio. “It’s lovely putting faces to names. One of the ladies brought me a big box of ginger crunch cause she knows I like it. It felt like a family, it really is like a family when you’re on the radio.” Her book was about the “horror and the humour” of suddenly finding yourself middle-aged. “No one expects themselves to be middle-aged but they suddenly one day look in the mirror and they have a grey hair and a few wrinkles.” Ms Woodham had a message she wanted people to get from her book. “Although mid-life can be a challenging phase in life there is a lot of humour in it and it will pass.”

North west projects get funding boost JessicaSchaap THE north west of Christchurch will receive funding for a community van and a temporary library as part of the Capital Endowment Fund: Special One-Off Projects Scheme. Community boards in each area nominated projects they would like funded. Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board asked for funding for a community van, which will be run by St Barnabas Church and will assist groups forced to travel for activities due to earthquake damage to local facilities – $40,000 has been granted for this. Mark Chamberlain from St Barnabas church said they offered to run the van as it

is useful for young and older members to get to their activities. “It will enable especially senior members of the community to get them connected more and get them out of their houses.” Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board chairperson Val Carter said she was “thrilled” about all the funding. “It is very generous of St Barnabas to take on the task to monitor the bookings. It’s not just for St Barnabas church but is for the whole community.” Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board will receive $300,000 to establish a temporary library facility at Bishopdale.

“We just didn’t know if the Bishopdale Library would go through but it has, which is fantastic,” Mrs Carter said. She said people had missed the Bishopdale library and community centre, which was closed for earthquake strengthening. “They liked the community feel of the Bishopdale library,” she said. Rehua Marae Trust is to get $50,000 for an upgrade of the kitchen at Rehua Marae, which hosts more than 300 organisations each year, and Riccarton Bush Trust is to receive $11,040, for earthquake-strengthening repairs on Riccarton House to bring it up to 67 per cent of the current building code.

Village tops garden awards

Signing: Shirley Herd gets her book Musings from Middle Age signed by author Kerre Woodham.

JessicaSchaap

LAST Friday, a Merivale bookshop hosted personality Kerre Woodham for a signing of her new book Musings from Middle Age – about what it’s like going through a mid-life crisis. Shirley Herd, who turned up at Merivale, said she listens to Kerre on Newstalk ZB. “I listen to her talkback every night, which puts me to sleep. I just wanted to have a read of what’s happening in her life.” Gaynor Closel went to Merivale not for the book but to see Kerre. “I just want to say hello to Kerre. I’ve already got her book. I listened to her from the beginning when she was first on radio.” Ms Woodham said most of the people who turned up to her book signings listened to her on the radio.

“It’s lovely putting faces to names. One of the ladies brought me a big box of ginger crunch ’cause she knows I like it. It felt like a family, it really is like a family when you’re on the radio.” Her book was about the “horror and the humour” of suddenly finding yourself middleaged. “No one expects themselves to be middleaged but they suddenly one day look in the mirror and they have a grey hair and a few wrinkles.” Ms Woodham had a message she wants people to get from her book. “Although mid-life can be a challenging phase in life there is a lot of humour in it and it will pass.”

THE Russley hotel might be gone, but the Roydvale Avenue site where it was once located continues to win awards. The old hotel received numerous awards when it first opened for design and hospitality, and the retirement village now being developed in its place is doing the same but in another category. The village received first place in the Fendalton/Waimari Community Pride Garden Awards at the prize-giving ceremony last Thursday. Village manager Brian Cousins said the award was recognition of the original vision of the village operators and the continual high standard of gardening by village staff.

“The Russley was possibly the only village in New Zealand to engage world-class landscape designers Boffa Miskell to design the village and its garden areas,” Mr Cousins said. “We receive regular comment about the layout and standard of our gardens, and residents and their visitors quite clearly consider it to be an important feature.” The award is the first for the village, although resident Peter Gooding has received individual recognition for his own villa garden in the streetside section of the competition. The village garden’s features include picket fences, gazebos and landscaped common areas all in a traditional Christchurch style.

Shopping centre offers free school lunch THE Palms Shopping Centre will be shouting a free lunch to one lucky school at the start of the second school term, as part of a community-driven effort to boost the “local happiness factor”. The Palms recently asked shoppers on Facebook what they could do to help restore smiles on the faces of the local community. One mother suggested a sponsored lunch at

one of the schools. “The way to cheer up the adults is to make their kids happy,” she said. The Palms thought this was a great idea and launched an appetising competition to deliver a free lunch for each student and teacher at one lucky local school. The Palms Shopping Centre manager Simon Carter said it would be an understatement to say Christchurch children and teachers have had a

rough time recently. “We would like to do what we can to help return a smile to the faces of local children and adults. We received a great suggestion from our Facebook community and have partnered with Subway to bring this idea to life. It’s just a little something we can do to increase the local happiness factor.” The Palms is inviting the community to nominate their local primary or intermediate

Time for a Change

school to receive the free lunch. The school that receives the most nominations from students, teachers, parents and friends will receive a six-inch Subway sandwich, juice box and cookie for each student and teacher during the first week in the second school term. Nominations can be sent by email to debby. chiplin@ampcapital.com. They close on Friday, April 26.

Community preschool returns home

Airport commends airline on two unique milestones CHRISTCHURCH Airport is congratulating Jetstar on achieving two unique milestones this month, as the low-fares airline celebrates carrying five million domestic passengers across New Zealand and the introduction of its 100th aircraft to its Asia Pacific fleet. Jetstar has had a long and successful association with Christchurch Airport, launching its first international services from the city to four trans-Tasman destinations in 2006 and basing crew and aircraft at the airport to support its growing domestic services. Christchurch Airport general manager aeronautical business development Matthew Findlay said Jetstar deserved to be commended on its investment in developing a choice

of services for the whole region and its focus on stimulating growth for the travel industry. “Reaching a fleet of 100 aircraft underscores what a significant operator Jetstar is across the whole Asia Pacific region, to grow from a domestic carrier to a major brand recognised across the region in less than 10 years is very significant – and testament to the hard work and dedication of the whole Jetstar Group. “In New Zealand, Jetstar has grown not only its share of the market, but also created new demand in a highly competitive industry – making air travel more accessible to more people.” Mr Findlay said the airline had been closely associated with Christchurch

since its New Zealand launch in 2006 and was a strong supporter of the South Island. “Jetstar has provided more opportunity for visitors from across the Asia Pacific region to come to the South Island, while also promoting the south as an exciting destination in many of our key markets. We’re proud to have been the gateway for 1.3 million Jetstar passengers on their domestic service and to have welcomed many more across the Tasman from the airline’s network of Australian and international destinations. “These are two well-deserved milestones, and we congratulate the whole group – and particularly our Christchurch-based team – on their success.”

JessicaSchaap ST ALBANS Community Preschool held a gathering last Sunday to celebrate being back in its building on the corner of Thames and Westminister streets. The day involved a blessing from Ngai Tahu, singing, sausage sizzle, ice-creams, a cake auction and a bouncy castle. The preschool suffered damage from the February 2011 earthquakes. It has now had cracks in plaster work repaired, a burst pipe fixed and painting done. The total repair cost $15,000.

While repairs were taking place, the preschool operated out of Glenmoor School and more recently out of the Shirley Rugby League Clubrooms on Briggs Road. Operating manager Carol Gillies said the preschool was happy to be back in its own building. “There’s a lot of work still to be done on the building and the ground too, but being out for two years we are glad to be back and have our base with the community where we’ve been since 1985,” she said.

Youth MP chosen A YOUTH Parliament representative for the Ilam electorate has been chosen. Gul Agha is in year 13 at Burnside High School and will be studying for a degree in political science and economics next year at Canterbury University. Ultimately he wishes to become a Member of Parliament. Electorate MP Gerry Brownlee is delighted with the selection of Ilam’s Youth Parliament representative. “We had a strong line-up of candidates and it was difficult to select one representative, but I am confident Gul Agha will make the most of the opportunity and give the role 100 per cent,” Mr Brownlee said Originally a refugee from Afghanistan, Gul Agha knows the importance of having ‘a voice’.

Children celebrate their different cultures Cultural: Pupils at Paparoa Street School celebrated the cultures that make up its “school family” last week during their Cultural Day, held every two years. Children dressed up in clothing representative of the culture they relate to and parents and volunteers from different cultures cooked their signature dishes.

Deputy principal Gillian Smith said it was enjoyable seeing the children’s reactions as they tried food they were not used to. The morning began with a parade of nations to their National Anthems and ended with cultural groups performing for the pupils. Photos: Jessica Schaap
