ave you ever experienced the dilemma of truly wanting to impress someone but not knowing where to turn? Recently faced with this problem, I racked my brain, and the little book of secrets, for what seemed like hours. Nothing seemed to really fit the bill.

I wanted something decadent, something unbelievably memorable, something the recipient would delight over for years to come.

Going through my enormous collection of business cards, I stumbled across Tony Monk’s and bells began to ring. Having met Tony Monk at one of our client outings not too long ago, I knew a little about what his company, Heletranz, had to offer, but

promptly set about researching in more depth.

With over twenty years of operational experience, Jenny and Tony Monk company is fairly well renown when it comes to aerial filming and their commercial work. What I hadn’t realised, was the extent to which their services ranged.

For those after a bird’s eye view of Auckland’s CBD and outlying suburbs, their scenic flights are the perfect option. Whether one opts for the Auckland or West Coast adventures, make sure to take your camera as you’ll be treated to views like no other. Soar over the Chelsea Sugar Works, past the Harbour Bridge and the Viaduct; hover along beaches made famous in the movie The Piano, volcanic cones and burgeoning vines.

When it comes to dining in style, what could be more luxurious than being flown to one of New Zealand’s finest selections of restaurants. Tours are offered to venues such as Cable Bay or Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant on Waiheke Island. Both wineries offer glorious views in picturesque settings. Swoop past Rangitoto, Motuihe and Motutapu islands as you head for your destination where, on arrival, you’re greeted with a glass of wine before indulging in a superb three-course meal. After a relaxed coffee post-meal, you’ll have the option of being flown back to the heliport or transferring to Matiatia wharf for a leisurely ferry transfer back to Auckland.

In one direction lies the rugged beauty of the West Coast’s shoreline straddling the Tasman Sea; in the other majestic mountains soar protectively skyward; and a few minutes away a World Heritage glacier imparts her icy beauty. The sheer beauty of Franz Josef imprints itself indelibly into a visitor’s memory bank.

The concept of building a brand new 100-room hotel in these surrounds would horrify most – a modern building offering luxury and comfort would surely be out of place? Not if the group undertaking the construction is the Scenic Hotel Group, a group whose history began in this very region some 28 years ago. Their mission was to embrace the stunning environment, bowing to and complementing Mother Nature rather than intruding on her space. Important specimen trees were located and the building adjusted to preserve as many as possible. Where bush had to be cleared, new landscaping has been planted with natives to re-establish the natural environment.

Some of the buildings are raised above ground level, allowing a native ground cover to thrive, in turn melding the building into the landscape.

Managing Director Brendan Taylor: “The natural environment is what brings people to the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand so we wanted our new property to be an extension of that environment and make guests feel they were a part of it even at the

The main island, or “Grande Terra” as it is known here, is roughly 80km long by 50km wide and is located in the southwestern part of the Pacific. It is divided into three distinct provinces: South, North and the Loyalty Islands. Located in the south is the fly and flop island that is a magnet for romantics, the “Isle of Pines,” whilst the Loyalty Island’s archipelago lies to the east and the little known Belep Island is off the northern tip.

At dinner they presented cuisine gastronomique with a specialty of terroir piscine and the following morning a wonderful French style breakfast. For the active traveller, there are nearby horse riding stables or you can take quad bike trip for up to six hours into the hills over backcountry trails.

We hiked in the newly created Parc des Grades Fougeres (the park of large ferns), a 4,500 hectare region of tree-clad mountains and low valley forest.

This region also acts as a buffer zone to New Caledonia’s World Heritage site – the largest lagoon in the world.

In the forest, thick African-like vines stretch hundreds of metres into the canopy. Newly created and opened in October 2007, there are currently five trails totalling 20km, for hiking or quad bike riding – and guided trips by local Kanack people are available.

In the lush interior of the mountain region of Sarramea, I woke to hear the sound of soft cascading waters flowing over rocks only a few metres from my patio and distinctive bird calls that I had not heard in New Zealand before.

Twenty minutes later I realised just how European New Caledonia is. I went to plug in my computer only to discover the plug sockets are only for round pin plugs, just like in France of course.

New Caledonia is sometimes referred to as the “Island of Light,” and you only have to look out over a crystal clear lagoon to nearby atolls, swim above coral reefs, wander barefoot along alabaster white sandy beaches or hike trails in lush mountain settings with natural waterfalls to understand that this country is bathed in natural light and beauty.

It was on his voyage to New Zealand on board his beloved ship the Resolution that Captain Cook discovered and named the country in 1774. Yet it wasn’t until the reign of Napoleon III in 1853 that France officially took control of New Caledonia.

Peter W Beck A reflection of eternity

A

circle is a reflection of eternity – it has no beginning and it has no end. A wedding band is thus the chosen symbol of never-ending love. In fact, a circular band has been a token of eternity since the days of the Pharaohs.

While some may still opt for a plain gold, silver or platinum band, we’re certainly no longer limited when

it comes to shape, style and inset gems. These days, the humble wedding band can be just as glitzy and glamorous as your engagement ring. Even men are opting for bands with an edge; a little more style and panache.

Peter W Beck is a name you should get to know when you’re searching

out a wedding ring. The company carries the largest range of wedding rings in Australia and beautiful examples of their work, both traditional and contemporary, can now be purchased at selected outlets right here in New Zealand. Cultural, classical, international and modern styling has been incorporated into their extensive range.

Traditional wedding rings are manufactured with a straight inner surface.

Peter W Beck have developed rings that utilise inner curves, improving comfort, fit and wearability.

SHOES

SHOES

Did you know: • Nine out of 10 women are wearing shoes that are too small for their feet.

• Eight out of 10 women say their shoes are painful.

If the Shoe Fits

By Susie Downie

• More than 7 out of 10 women have developed a bunion, hammertoe, or other painful foot deformity.

• Women are nine times more likely to develop a foot problem because of improper fitting shoes than a man.

• Nine out of 10 women’s foot deformities can be attributed to tight shoes.

Finding shoes that look great isn’t hard to do. It’s finding shoes that are also the right fit that’s most important. I would suggest that you measure your feet at the end of the day when you’re feet are at their largest, and that you measure both feet, as many of us have one foot

What could be worse than selecting a pair of shoes that look simply stunning, spending a tidy sum of money on them, and then wearing them for all of half an hour before you are complaining bitterly? Not much, I’d say, especially on such an important day as your wedding day! This is a day for fun, laughter and celebration and, of course, lots of dancing; you simply can’t do that if your feet are screaming out in agony!

slightly larger than the other.

The shape of the shoe is important. You should select one that is similar in shape to that of your foot. Don’t try to push broad, square feet into narrow, pointy shoes!

When trying the shoes on, stand up in them.

This will spread the feet and toes. At this point, make sure you still have space in front of your longest toe. It should never be touching the front of the shoe!

Whilst still standing, make sure the ball of your foot is sitting comfortably within the space allotted. Don’t buy a shoe that’s tight, hoping it will stretch slightly!

The heel of your foot should sit comfortably within the shoe. Walk in them in the shop to ensure your heel isn’t slipping out of the back of the shoe. A shoe that slithers up and down on your heel will only leave you with blisters!

When it comes to the uppers, go for leather, satin, silk or similar. Something soft and flexible.

Whilst low heels are obviously going to be the more sensible option, some of you will want to wear the highest possible heels on your wedding day. If the above steps are taken into consideration, even a massive heel will be wearable long into the evening. ♥

Susie Downie is the proprietor of Susie D Bridal Shoes in Albany.

Susie thinks gorgeous, comfortable shoes give a bride confidence on her wedding day. She likes to talk to the bride about her dress, the design, the fabric and the colour, and then she can suggest something that will complement, from her stunning range of over 50 styles.

BASQUESSE | PROFILE

A sharp eye for detail

By Gayle Dickson

aving grown up with a love of creativity, fashion has been a lifelong passion for Viviana Pannell, a second generation Peruvian born to a French Basque family. So, although she graduated with a business degree, fashion won out and she was appointed the role of head fashion designer for a large knitwear company in Lima. Her business head won through, however, and soon after she started her own label, exporting her high fashion knitwear to the US and Spain. Relocating to Houston, she completed an MBA and, whilst

headhunted by major corporations, Viviana chose instead to follow her heart and the love of her life, Colin, to New Zealand where they have settled and raised two daughters.

Fashion still flowed in her veins though, and the birth of Basquesse sees an outpouring of talent and creativity that is steeped in romance, femininity, nature and, of course, sheer passion. Pride is something Viviana takes extremely seriously, as well as fastidious customer service; aligned with her incredible design talents, these attributes have seen the Basquesse collections going from strength to strength – something her loyal and ever-increasing international client list will attest to.

As Viviana puts it: “The Basquesse woman is typically aged between 25 and 55; a successful career woman with a high disposable income, an independent thinker and decision maker, sybarite, hedonistic, self-confident, self-appreciative and well travelled.” But these are not prerequisites to owning a piece from the Basquesse collection – all you really need is a desire to stand out from the crowd.

O

kay, so your hunt for the perfect dress has begun … but where do you start? I asked this very question of Diane Stephenson of Modes in Newmarket. With 26 years experience, I felt sure she’d have a good answer, and she did … “Right here,” she

said, leading me on a journey of discovery through a treasure trove of designs, colours and textures such as you’d struggle to find elsewhere in one location.

It was immediately apparent that Diane knew her stuff, casually flicking through the rails, rolling off the names of luscious fabrics and world class designers with ease. However, one thing you soon discover at Modes is that quality doesn’t always come at a cost.

As my imagination ran riot and my mental shopping list grew, I initially shuddered to think just how much my make-believe shopping spree was going to set me back. However, hubby would certainly have been pleased (being an accountant, and all), I’m sure!

Diane’s motto is: “Buy the garment, not the label” and the price tags at Modes measure up in my estimation. Whilst there are gowns, frocks, separates and suits from leading European and Australian designers (names like George Cross, Manuel Mota, … the list is almost endless), Modes also have their own range.

Something that really attracted me when looking at options for bridesmaids is that the same dress is often available in a range of colours and sizes, off the rack. But, just in case, Modes do offer a tailoring service to ensure the perfect fit.

Something else I liked when considering outfits for the mothers in the wedding party, was that a gorgeous European dress could be impeccably matched with a jacket, scarf, hat or fascinator with very little effort. Mixing and matching in this way, you can

Eco Friendly Living ‘08

by Kim Lilley Images: Laine Furnishings, Cavalier Bremworth, Bio Paints, Earth Angel and Unless

“S

ustainability” and “eco friendliness” are the catch phrases of the moment. Although I think I understand what they mean, the entire concept can still be pretty confusing. For many people, sustainability translates into being “environmentally friendly”, but I’ve learnt it’s broader than that.

It represents much more than reducing waste, recycling and protecting our environment; it’s more

about the process. It’s the process of understanding our environment and how it works, and the awareness of how everything we do, everything we take, make and waste, affects nature’s delicate balance.

When I think about the world I work in, Interior Design is a great juggernaut of consumption. Just imagine the quantity of resources and materials it actually takes to build a house or a boat. When you go and use the boat or live in the house, the consumption just doesn’t stop. It’s been said that Industry moves, mines, extracts, shovels, pumps, wastes and disposes of four million pounds of material in order to provide the annual needs of one average, middle-class American family. Staggering stuff!

I am pleased to find that in my industry there are now companies who have made it their policy to be responsible for the way their products are manufactured, as well as considering the afterlife impact their products have on our environment. It now makes good business sense to have your products certified “sustainable” or “eco-friendly”, or to go one step further and certify your whole company.

When looking at our homes and boats, there are several companies that have adopted an eco-friendly ethos. Well known New Zealand carpet manufacturer, Cavalier Bremworth, is determined to lead the industry in providing high quality wool carpets that reduce their impact on the environment. All the Cavalier Bremworth and Bremworth collection carpets carry Environmental choice New Zealand accreditation. To ensure their products adhere to the accreditation, Cavalier Bremworth maintains total control over the entire manufacturing process, from buying the wool at the farm gate to scouring and dyeing, spinning the yarn, then tufting the carpet and distributing it through their network of warranted dealers. What’s appealing about a pure wool carpet is that it is made to last, and can significantly reduce household energy cost in both heating and cooling. The savings can be up to 8-12 % due to wool’s thermal insulation properties.

If wool carpets aren’t what you had in mind or to your taste, then have a look at the Interface range of flooring products. Interface is a worldwide leader in the design, production and sales of modular carpet, amongst other products.

The company founder, American Ray Anderson, has many environmentally friendly accolades to his name. One of these was being named on Time Magazine’s Heroes of the Environment list in 2007. He is a sought after speaker and advisor on all issues eco. All products from this company as of this year are carbon neutral. Their long term mission is to eliminate

How did you become involved in swimming?

I guess I was always a water baby. I loved playing in the water so mum got me involved in learn to swim classes when I was young.

I wanted to keep swimming and continued going through all the squads and when I was in about Grade 6 or 7 (10 – 12 years old) that I really wanted to take it more seriously and not just go for fun. From then on I started to see my swimming improve and start to get some good results.

Looking back to the first time you won an event; did you think you’d get to where you are this quick?

I don’t think I thought I’d get to the stage I’m at now so quickly.

It was a big step for me to make the Commonwealth games team in 2006 when I was just 17. It was a big jump for me and then a huge jump to win. After I’d won at the Commonwealth games I really felt I could put in a bit more effort. I made the world championships and won two Bronze medals, which was fantastic, but my times weren’t really that competitive. At the World Championships I never saw myself being able to win an Olympic Gold medal, as it still seemed so far out of reach. The goal was just

S P O RT U N L E AS H E D

to make the team and be as competitive as I could. I think our Olympic trials were the biggest jump for me and to break world records at the trials was an absolute shock - I still don’t know how I did that. That’s what I needed having those confidence levels going into Beijing 2008.

What training do you do in a day?

I get up at 4.20am. I get to the pool about 5am and normally go for a 30 minute run before training. I get in the pool at about 5.45 and train until around 8.30am. I then have some breakfast before going to Pilates from 9.15am until 10.15am. I then have a bit of down time during the day between 11am and 3pm to relax, sometimes I do weights during that time and sometimes I don’t. It’s good to have that time to relax or have physio. I’m then back at the pool around 3.30pm for a 30 minute workout before getting back in the pool at 4.30 until around 7pm – when I finish. It’s a busy day and you can handle it when you’re fresh and not tired but towards the end of the week Friday/Saturday it’s pretty hard to get up early. It’s never why do I put myself through this as I love swimming and being able to go away with the Australian team. You always wish you could take

ill the 2018 World Football Cup bid be at the expense of the long term health of the English Game as we know it?

It looks like England are a serious contender to host the 2018 World Cup, but what about the quality of the team England will be able to field in eight years time? Is the English FA desperate to host this event because they are worried they won’t have a team capable of qualifying?

As good as the England national teams’ short term prospects look under the astute leadership of Fabio Capello, a glimpse at the paucity of young talent on show at the Portsmouth versus Arsenal game the other evening should be sending tremors right through the FA’s corridors of power of what lies ahead.

For the first time in the history of English soccer, 22 players took to the field in a top division match, shown on live TV without a single home-grown player. Yet the English FA, the custodians of the game, tell the fans that their main priority is to get the 2018 World Cup to England! What a joke. Surely the FA’s main priority and efforts should be to find the next generation of Lampard’s, Gerrard’s and Rooney’s.

Just short of a decade ago, England fans had reason to feel excited, as the spine of the Premiership was filled with young English players. The likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand, Terry, Heskey, Owen and Ashley Cole were in their early twenties and there was talk of England’s “Golden Age”. There were also rumours of a teenage phenomenon called Wayne Rooney coming through the ranks at Everton, who would be the best of the lot. England fans were given a glimpse of this young team’s true potential one warm September evening in Munich with the 5 - 1 annihilation of their old foe Germany; however, the truth is, with the odd exception, it all now looks a false dawn.

How has it reached this stage? How can the country that gave birth to the game, that is truly soccer mad and prides itself in selling the Premiership as the best league across the world, end up with a televised match with no home-grown players?

orget about drug taking! The charge laid at the super-charged feet of Usain Bolt should be genetic engineering. In the creation of Bolt, Mother Nature has gone where stem cell research and robotics can only dream of going.

Reaching to the height of a professional basketball player, at 6’5”, weighing in at 86 kg, and possessing a body rippling with powerful muscle tissue and fast twitch fibres,

Bolt is a perfect cross between the iconic king of the Greek Gods, Zeus and Michelangelo’s David.

The sprinting icon, who can only be described as laid-back and relaxed, cites his parents and a couple of sprinting greats from the past as genuine inspirations growing up.

“My parents were the biggest influence on me. As a kid I watched Michael Johnson and heard a lot about Don Quarrie. When I was young, I didn’t really think about

anything other than sports.”

Bolt was born on 21 August 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny, Jamaica. He spent his early years playing football and cricket on the street with his brother Sadeeki. If he wasn’t melting athletics tracks around the world with his quick-silvered feet, he says he would be a fast bowler.

Bolt and his Jamaican sprinting teammates have ripped the USA’s title of world’s top sprinting nation from its grasp with rampant Caribbean style and passion. Bolt explains the secret to Jamaica’s success.

hat does it say about New Zealand sport that three guys can sit around for a quiet chat and discuss which is the best to have ...a world record or an Olympic gold medal? Between them, they have won a swag of both.

I’m referring of course to “A Night with Three Knights”...Sir Murray Halberg, Sir John Walker and Sir Peter Snell...on stage together in Auckland captivating an audience which included a cast of fellow Olympians and world champions such as Hamish Carter, Barbara Kendall and Alison Roe. Lucky and privileged to be there, I was at Alison Roe’s table and we talked about how the evening highlighted the oft talked about topic of New Zealand punching ludicrously above its weight.

I recalled a story at a New Zealand Golf Open dinner some years ago where Sir Bob Charles had a couple of American guests, including sports commentator Dick Stockton, who was intrigued to hear that Kiwi golfers had won on every pro tour around the world that year - in some cases more than once!!!

“What’s the population of New Zealand?” Stockton asked.

“Four million,” says Bob. Stockton just shook his head.

What then might he have made of the Three Knights? Three Olympic champions with some ludicrously enduring records! How about this one: the 800 metres world record that Peter Snell set at Lancaster Park in Christchurch 1962 is still a New Zealand record and would have won gold at the Sydney, Athens and Beijing Olympics.

And how about Rome? Veteran sports journalist turned impresario, Armin Lindenberg, who helped mastermind the evening, coined the famous phrase “a crowded hour of golden glory” – Halberg’s 5000 metres followed by Snell in the 800.

Halberg to Snell: “I was interested in your comments about Rome being your best memory. In effect, in

The changes that will be wrought as a result of this review will become evident in the following year or so.

YPD

Staff

Young people with disabilities encompass people aged 17 to 65 years who have physical, mental or intellectual disabilities or a combination of the three.

Income received from Services

For the past four years PSN has conducted an internal Climate Survey to gauge how staff feel about working in PSN.

OPERATING DEFICIT

A swathe of very useful information comes out of these Climate Surveys; however, the answer we all look for is to the question “Is PSN a truly great place to work?”

Gifted Income

Presbyterian Support Northern has consulted with YPD clients, sector groups and advocates to define the needs of this group and its various sub-groups.

Using the feedback to this and the other questions we seek to make an increase in the number of staff who can answer a whole hearted “Yes” to this question. The next survey is the benchmark for whether or not those measures have been effective.

Happily, we have seen a steady increase in “Yes” answers and PSN is now in the top quartile of organisations surveyed.

Two groups of people make the work we do at PSN possible; our donors and our volunteers.

Our inaugural Support Sunday service in parishes in our region was held at the end of this financial year.

To all these generous people we say a great big thank you – without you we simply could not do it.

We were delighted with the way in which Presbyterian and co-operating parishes took up the opportunity to have an annual service to learn more about, to support and to pray for the work of Presbyterian Support Northern, for its staff and for its clients.

Cost of providing Services

Services to support these people are often inadequate and sometimes overtly inappropriate. Many are housed in rest homes, which struggle to meet their needs. Others are supported in the community using the traditional HomeCare model of service delivery.

Developing a service model that meets the needs of the clients whilst living within the funding streams available has been challenging.

E nga Mana, E nga Reo E nga Iwi o te Motu Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa!

T

he Foundation has been acting on the feedback received from the community forums held throughout the country in late 2004. The forums discussed why, in 2003 and the first six months of 2004, there was a large increase in the number of gay and other men-who-havesex-with-men (MSM) testing positive for HIV. The strategies for challenging the ‘bull’ used to avoid condom use (Bullfighter) and workshops specifically focused on men over 40 (Cocksure) are examples of how we have put the feedback into our programme’s direction.

has been amended to be consistent with the plan – this will ensure the Board receives the information necessary to monitor the organisation’s progress.

The Foundation can report good news in respect to its contract with the Ministry of Health. For the first time the Foundation negotiated a three-year contract for a range of services, including our first African health promotion programme.

In this period the Board worked on a new and detailed governance manual. Such a manual is an important means of ensuring effective governance.

It is intended that this manual will be added to and amended, to reflect the Board’s increasing commitment to best practice for governance.

Another interesting and potentially troubling theme emerged from these forums – men who have sex with men are increasingly using the internet as a means for arranging sexual liaisons. This poses a very important and challenging question: “What needs to be done to ensure that the safe sex message is communicated to those hooking up on the internet in a way that it will be heeded?” I know that NZAF staff are committed to help combat this issue

On the policy front the Board has been involved in developing the Foundation’s response to a number of areas, including, medicinal cannabis, voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide, reduction in criminal liability (disclosure) and the Foundation’s relationship with pharmaceutical companies. These are all complex areas that cannot be managed with a simple “black and white” response.

Our strategic plan for 2005-10 was accepted at the November AGM. I am grateful to those stakeholders who took the time to participate in the consultation process for the development of the plan. This plan gives us a strong framework to work to. Staff members have been working hard to develop their operational plans in response to its goals. The Executive Director’s reporting to the Board

The Board attempted to continue its work of implementing its constitution by developing a proposal to affirm the Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi at the governance level. Unfortunately the Board did not lead this issue well, upsetting a number of its members and other stakeholders. The Board is sorry for the upset caused. The Board accepts that it made a mistake in how it managed this matter.

An exciting decision made this year was to co-host the first Pan Pacific Conference on HIV & AIDs in New Zealand, in October 2005. This will be a huge event – and coupled with the NZAF Gala Dinner an opportunity for the Foundation to honour 20 years in existence and to support our Pacific neighbours in their fight against the epidemic. I am particularly grateful to Rachael Le Mesurier for identifying this as being a viable initiative for the NZAF to co-host.

Thanks to Rachael Le Mesurier for her executive management and to the staff of NZAF, its volunteers and members – combined, you are the engine who makes it happen.

There were a number of movements on the Board – many thanks to those who have left and welcome to those new trustees. I am served well by my fellow Board members – I could not do without their integrity and commitment. Thank you.

Finally, a special mention honouring those people who hold a place in our collective hearts – people who have died of AIDS – they are with us always.

No reira

July 2004 to July 2005 has not brought any respite in respect to the ongoing and deeply disturbing increase in new infections amongst gay and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Whilst 2004 almost matched 2003 we have have been deeply worried by another apparent leap, seen in the first six months of 2005. It is possible that the remaining months of this year could provide a counter balance, however we are still left with data that shows a good number of those who became infected this year had tested negative two years ago.

As with 2003 and 2004 the average age of the new infections for MSM was 39. These aren’t men just coming out as young gay men and new to the whole safe sex message. Indeed, many of them have seen the ravages of HIV and AIDS first hand, losing lovers and friends. They know better than anyone else what damage the virus does.

NZAF has been building on the feedback received at last year’s community forums. We have produced resources and tailored workshops to respond to the issues raised.

However we need the community to be part of the return to ‘condoms and lubricant every time’. Ironically, whilst the ARV’s have reduced the need for volunteer buddies we now need volunteers more than ever – to be champions of safe sex, to encourage, persuade and support the use of condoms alongside the 11 health promoters we employ to work in the gay community. We simply cannot do this alone.

The 2004/05 year has been very busy – some of the activities are highlighted below. n We started the financial year off as part of a cross section of New Zealand that supported the successful passing of the Civil Union Act and Relationships (Statutory References) Act into legislation. n We moved on to the next major issue – the inquiry into hate speech. The NZAF submission noted our concern that there is no protection in law for groups subjected to dehumanising speech and would like to see the Government address this. n Local governments around the country are looking at, and have been creating, bylaws to control the location and signage of brothels. Some of the Councils have attempted to undermine the decriminalisation of prostitution by regulation that counters the health and safety basis of the Act and forces sex work back underground. There have been legal challenges to the bylaws taken in Auckland and Christchurch. The Christchurch bylaw was deemed to be against the law.

The Auckland case will come up in late October. n From February onwards we have worked with other health NGOs to develop a coalition to advocate for increased access to funded medicines. That group will be formally launched in November.

Heterosexuals being diagnosed with HIV continue to almost match the numbers of new diagnoses of MSM each year. Whilst the majority of these infections were acquired overseas we are very aware that HIV arrived from overseas in the early 1980s and then spread through our gay men’s community. In the same way the gay community built an effective response before the full force of the virus hit us in the 1980s, NZAF is committed to ensuring that the most atrisk heterosexual communities are able to build a response to prevent HIV being transmitted within their populations.

As a result a request from the Refugee Health Education programme (RHEP) and the African communities they worked with, NZAF took on the RHEP HIV prevention programme and expanded it for all African communities.

This is our first heterosexual prevention programme and our aim is to provide a foundation, support and platform for the African Health prevention programme to build to a place of strength and community ownership.

Simon Robb CHAIR New Zealand AIDS Foundation

There are now about 1600 people, who know they are HIV positive, living in Aotearoa/New Zealand. When we add in the people who are HIV positive and don’t know it, the number increases by up to 33% (approximately 2400).

NZAF initiated the first meeting of the National HIV and AIDS Council, which aims to meet three times a year and bring together all who are working with or affected by HIV and AIDS. This is the first time since 1991 that such a national forum has been in place. Policy makers, government departments, NGOs, epidemiologists, clinicians and PWLHA groups come together to look at the challenges of this rapidly increasing threat and use the HIV and AIDs Action plan of 2003 to build a nationally co-ordinated response.

Work on increasing funded access to ARVs has moved to a more strategic long term approach by our initiative to build a NGO coalition of support and service organisations who all struggle with inadequate funding of much needed treatments. Whilst NZAF will continue to advocate on behalf of those living with HIV we believe a more united and coordinated sector will achieve greater gains long term.

NZAF recognised in the Strategic Plan the intrinsic link between what HIV does in the Pacific and it’s impact on us here. As part of that direction we happily hosted a number of

NZAF’s involvement in the conference has been as a partner to PIAF, PNG National AIDs Council, Secretariat of the Pacific Community, UNAIDS, Body Positive and AUT. We are proud to have the opportunity to show case Aotearoa and our commitment to by Maori for Maori takataapui programme as a unique and effective model for enabling indigenous MSM communities to manage their own response to the epidemic. Similarly the excellent work our Pasifika gay men in our Pacific programmes showcases how to work effectively within cultural and religious structures. Whilst we believe we have a lot to share in respect to significant strategies for MSM we also note that we have an opportunity to learn as we look to the Pacific experience with their involvement of heterosexual youth, their progress with enlightened church leaders and their management of prevention programmes in resource-poor areas in distant locations.

It is fitting to finish this report by acknowledging the death of Matt Whyte and Daniel Fielding.

Matt died in October 2004. He was first employed as the New Zealand AIDS Foundation/ Triangle Trust Youth Worker in Hamilton in 1994.

In 1997 he became the NZAF Community Education Worker for the Midland region and a year later was appointed Manager at the Awhina Centre in Wellington. In 2001, Matt became the NZAF’s first Positive Men’s Project Worker – a position he remained in until failing health prompted his resignation in May 2004. We all miss Matt enormously.

Daniel was a long time volunteer and supporter of the Foundation, and a strong advocate for gay rights and the end of discrimination and stigma for those living with HIV. He died in October 2005 and he will be deeply missed by the Awhina team and the gay community in Wellington.”

n Although outside of the reporting year for this document, it is also worth noting the landmark decision by Judge Thomas in October 2005 that using a condom is sufficient to discharge your legal duty to protect others if you are HIV positive. This decision has provided some much needed clarification on the law’s response to non-disclosure but with condom use and we are pleased that the court’s judgement supports a pragmatic public health approach. n In May the Ministry of Health announced that universal offer of ‘opt-out’ screening of HIV for pregnant women will be rolled out nationally over the next two years.

NZAF supports the move to universal screening in light of the increased mother-to-child transmissions of HIV reported, the changing profile of HIV in New Zealand with almost equal numbers of new diagnosis amongst heterosexuals as homosexuals and the poor implementation of the ‘risk assessment’ model which has been discarded by the majority of other countries with epidemics like NZ NZAF’s policy work covers activities that are funded through individual donations and fundraising.

With increased demands on our services, and the need to build alternative income sources, the New Zealand AIDS Foundation carried out increased fundraising activities throughout the 2004/5 financial year.

May 2005 saw the national Candlelight Memorial Services, which continue the history of remembrance that is so important for us going forward. This event is a poignant reminder of why the Foundation is here.

Events such as Big Gay Out, and Pride weeks throughout New Zealand, provide vehicles for the Foundation to increase the audience of our Health Promotion campaigns, to gather names for our supporter databases, and to gain additional revenue.

Financial Membership of the NZAF continues to grow, and remains an integral part of our work. There were 86 in August 2004 and we now have 108. Members are key to the continued delivery and diversification of our services, and provide an excellent barometer to the community response our initiatives are receiving.

The fabulous Queen of the Whole Pacific had its debut in 2004 providing glamour, high-class entertainment and much-needed funds for NZAF. Thanks to Jonathan Smith and Quarto Training and Consulting for the initiative and organising skills needed.

The position of Communications Coordinator was created and appointed in May 2004, just before the start of this last financial year. The objective was to provide internal and external communications support to all activities of the NZAF and to raise the profile of the Foundation and HIV-AIDS in external communities, particularly media.

Steve Attwood, who had been the South Island Health Promoter for the Foundation for nearly five years at that time, and who has a background of 20 years in journalism and public relations, was appointed to the position.

Although a Head Office position, Steve initially based the communications role in Christchurch, but moved to Auckland in May 2005.

Having a Communications person on staff has allowed for a greater concentration on communications opportunities, particularly with media. The position has helped raise the profile of the Foundation and its work considerably. The Foundation is now regularly contacted by media and seen as a readily available and reliable source of news and information on HIV/AIDS and related human rights issues.

placements from NGOs working in the Pacific. Maire Bopp Dupont, CEO of the Pacific Islands AIDs Foundation also visited a number of times and we shared our experience in respect to the silencing of our issues and concerns on the Asian and Pacific regional stage. Somehow this emerged into the idea for a South Pacific HIV and AIDs conference which quickly moved to include PNG and became the Te Whanau o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, me te Mate Parekore Family of the Pacific and HIV and AIDS Conference due in late October 2005.

Steve has established media monitoring and analyses systems, which show that NZAF statements have a 90% hit rate with media and a multiple hit rate (covered widely in print and broadcast media) of more than 50%. This is a substantial increase on an analysis of figures prior to the creation of this position.

The Communications role has also overseen the design and establishment of a new NZAF website which has improved our communication through this medium, and the creation of a growing network of alliances with communications people in allied organisations. This has resulted in a number of effective cooperative approaches to media, public health, human rights and HIV issues during the year.

Improved internal communications systems are a goal for the 2005/06 year.

The New Zealand AIDS Foundation library has the largest specialised collection of information on HIV and AIDS in New Zealand. Library holdings have continued to grow to more than 3350 resources; made up of journals, books, reports, conference abstracts, scientific papers, electronic resources, videos and posters.

The library continues to provide information backup to the Gay Men’s Health, Positive Health, Te Hauora Takataapui programmes, Policy Analyst, Communications and the Research and Analysis Units inside the NZAF. The NZAF library resources underpin the quality of all of the outputs produced by the NZAF by providing an integrated source of scientific information about the epidemic that strives to be comprehensive in coverage.

The library provides accurate information about all aspects of HIV and AIDS, modes of trans-mission, and safe sex practices including condom use. The number of external and internal requests for information over the last year was approximately 3,400. External requests were made by health professionals, students, the education sector, people living with HIV and AIDS and the general public. A list-server sends out HIV and AIDS news stories covering both academic and newspaper articles sourced from around the world to those who have subscribed to it. The library sends out tables of contents from various journals to key stakeholders on a regular basis and obtains published scientific papers from overseas as required.

World AIDS Day continues to be the major annual focus with street collections and awareness raising events in each centre. Wellington’s Awhina Centre continues to grow from strength to strength in its WAD activities, and provides significant income for Wellness Fund use.

World AIDS Day 2004 saw our Patron Her Excellency the Governor General Dame Silvia Cartwright host a reception at Government House in Wellington at which we were able to recognise our supporters in the capital for their continued support.

The year ending June 2005 saw a new focus on building relationships with key interest groups that will continue in the 2005/6 year and beyond. Our relationships with organisations such as Hero and GABA have been developed with view to our Ottawa Charter obligations, and we are continually reviewing new community initiatives to assist in building supportive communities. The increased visibility of the New Zealand AIDS Foundation is essential for the effective dissemination of our messages and resources, particularly as our main constituent communities diversify both socially and geographically.

On an ongoing basis fundraising remains integral to the achievement of the Foundation’s Mission and Goals.

Increased revenue generation will allow for a greater range, advocacy and reach of services, and provides assurance of a stable fiscal position going forward.

TOP 9 R E SP ON DE N TS

H U M A N R IGH TS R E V I E W T R I BU N A L

As would be expected, government agencies feature in the list of the top nine respondents.

As in the past, the Police and ACC are the top two respondents. Police attracted 26% more complaints this year than last year, and ACC attracted 36% more. These increases cause concern because of their impact. Indeed they cause the top 9 respondents to account for 34% of all complaints received. Some of the complaints will be reviews of requests for access – and these agencies tend to be large repositories of personal information. But it also reflects policies over which this office has no control. It is clear that many of the complaints against ACC result from a breakdown in relationships often arising from the termination of longstanding benefits. Table 6 shows the top 9 respondents.

Where a complaint has substance but cannot be settled I have discretion to refer the matter to the Director of Human Rights Proceedings for his decision whether or not to institute civil proceedings in the Human Rights Review Tribunal.

My decision on whether to exercise my discretion to refer a matter will take account of a number of factors, both general and specific. Where I choose not to refer to the Director a complaint which I have upheld following investigation, this should not be interpreted as indicating that the complaint is unmeritorious. If, for instance, I consider that a complainant has refused to accept a reasonable offer of settlement I might leave it for the complainant to bring a case to determine the appropriate remedy.

If I elect not to refer the matter to the Director, the aggrieved individual is entitled to take the matter to the Tribunal. This entitlement applies to complaints that I have found to have substance (but which I have decided not to proceed with) as well as to complaints that I consider do not have substance. Nearly all the cases before the Tribunal are brought by aggrieved individuals exercising this right.

During this year 23 individuals have initiated proceedings in the Tribunal, and I have referred three to the Director. Of matters first brought before the Tribunal in the year 2001/02, hearings or decisions on 13 were carried over into the current year. Of matters brought in the current year, 11 have been carried forward into 2003/04.

AUCkLANd OFFICE

Only one matter, initiated in 2001/02, was struck out following a full hearing of the issues.

I had discontinued my investigation into it. The Tribunal dismissed four cases on the basis of no breach (with the Tribunal’s decision consistent with the results of my investigations in three of these cases). In another case, involving allegations of breaches of two information privacy principles, the Tribunal found a breach of only one of the principles involved, but in the absence of evidence the plaintiff had suffered any adverse consequences did not find any interference with the plaintiff’s privacy. I had previously found an interference involving one of the principles but no breach of the other. Decisions in two hearings are awaited.

One case first brought in 2001/02 has been adjourned sine die at the request of the plaintiff.

While the numbers of proceedings being initiated by the aggrieved individual in the Tribunal remains constant (averaging around 24 per year in the last three years) the issues raised are now dealt with through full hearings (in contrast to the Tribunal’s previous practice). In some cases this is in addition to detailed work at the pre-hearing stage.

Baycorp is the only private sector agency to feature in this list. Although the number of FURTHER COPIES AVAILABLE THE complaints against Baycorp is less than in the previous year, I remainFROM concerned about the use of credit data for purposes other than providing credit. It is my intention to issue a code OFFICE OFin THE COMMISSIONER of practice applying to credit agencies respectPRIVACY of their handling of credit information. I am presently awaiting submissions on a draft Credit Information Privacy Code which has been released for public consultation.

The appeal noted as pending in last year’s annual report has now been dealt with. In that case the High Court upheld the Tribunal’s finding that there had been no interference with the plaintiff’s privacy (which had been the finding of my investigation) and dismissed the appeal. In three matters dealt with by the Tribunal in the year 2001/02, the plaintiffs appealed. Two were later withdrawn by the plaintiffs, and one was settled.

While it is too early to draw any solid conclusions, it is reassuring to see a much higher proportion of positive matches cleared before notice in this year’s matches (22%) compared to the single run last year (0.4%).

However, the number of apparently successful challenges in this programme is disquieting.

On the reported figures, it would seem that 45,378 notices were sent telling people that they have been identified as someone who owes a particular amount and that action will be taken against them unless they respond urgently to show why that action is wrong. Almost a quarter (10,669) responded and were able to persuade the Department for Courts that either they were not the individual concerned (6,179 cases) or that they had already paid or entered into an agreement to pay (4,483 cases) or for other reasons action should not proceed (seven cases). While these figures are a significant improvement over the approximately 35% of such cases last year, they are still worrying. It appeared from the results relating to those who have already paid off the fine (or made arrangements to do so) that the Department of Courts contact operation was working with out-of-date information.

My office queried these figures with Department of Courts. The department undertook urgent internal enquiries as a result and reported what they had uncovered. That letter included the following statement: The Department has identified technical and coding problems with its reporting of successful challenges for both the IRD and MSD programmes and that these have resulted in a significant inflation of challenges for the reasons of ‘incorrect person’ and ‘no fines

33 “Cleared before notice� refers to those who are identified from internal records as having, in the period between being selected for inclusion in the programme and being matched, paid the fine, entered into an arrangement to pay, had the fine remitted, or been referred back to a court.

34 “Successful challenge� are coded as being for one of four reasons: incorrect person i.e. a mismatch; no fines outstanding; deceased; other.

Chief Executive Officer report Ki nga mana, ki nga reo, ki nga whanau katoa. Kei roto i tenei rohe o Waipareira nga mihi mahana atu ki a koutou, oti ra ki a tatou katoa.

I am delighted we have worked through all the issues, have met the financial costs involved, worked hard to reduce debt levels and balance the books, and have been able to turn our attention to the business in hand – that of strengthening our services, our kaumatua and serving our whanau.

The highlight of the current year has to be the extremely successful and well attended Whanau Open Day, where we opened our doors to our CEO Reg Ratahi funders, stakeholders and the community to see for themselves the huge range of quality services being delivered day in day out.

Ki nga tini mate, kua mihia, kua tangihia, kua ea ko ratou kia ratou haere haere haere.

Ko tatou nga mahuetanga, nga kanohi ora, kia ora huihui ano ra tatou katoa.

Ki nga kaihautu o te poari tenei te mihi nui atu kia kotou. E mihi ana ki te reo kaikorero mo Ngati Whatua me Ngati Whatua whanui. E mihi nui ana ki te Roopu Kaumatua O Waipareira. Nga kaiarahi, nga tuara tiaki i te whanau o roto o Waipareira. Nga kaiarahi, nga tuara tiaki i te whanau o roto o Waipareira. Ahakoa nga piki me nga heke i pa ki runga kia tatou katoa, e hoe tika tonu ana tatou i runga i te huarahi anga mua tonu mo tatou.

No reira, kia kokiritia i roto, i te kotahitanga tonu tatou katoa.

Moving forwards We have had an extraordinary year – in every way. The financial year began with a number of highly publicised and unfounded allegations being made about the Trust’s current management and Board decisions. We devoted considerable attention and financial resources to ensuring all issues raised were fully investigated by independent auditors and legal advisors. In the end, current management and the Board were cleared of all allegations, but through our own processes we identified a number of discrepancies from the 1999-2000 period, resulting in the need to take steps to further investigate and deal with them in a responsible and transparent manner.

We have improved the appearance of our properties and given our well used Canteen an initial upgrade, with more improvements planned.

Our Kaumatua have been given additional support, training on tikanga, karanga and waiata, and their own room.

Housing strategy

Our monthly Whanau hui continues to be an important community forum for discussion and conveying panui about events.

A highlight has been the development of our housing strategy, where we have been successful in negotiating several relationships to provide sustainable housing for our whanau.

We have been delighted with the initial results of our Integration project, which aims at getting all our services working together to meet the needs of whanau. As part of this project, which was funded by Te Puni Kokiri, we ran a demonstration pilot to show how we could get positive and measurable outcomes working with high needs whanau. Feedback from families has been excellent, and Government has been highly impressed with our ability to deliver and report on this mahi. This report contains more information on this ground-breaking initiative, which is seen as crucial to our success in future.

Te W ha nau Wa i p a rei ra Trust

We are hopeful that many of our whanau will qualify for housing assistance under these two schemes.

Finances We have had to meet an unusual number of expenses this year, ranging from higher than usual legal and audit costs, meeting old tax obligations, paying leases on redundant premises, interest charges on the land pending sale, losses from our Waitec training arm and Call Centre, and the cost of continuing our Whanau Development Pilot after funding ceased. These have had a significant effect on our financial performance.

I am pleased to report the issues have all been addressed in a planned and orderly approach which was supported by the Board, and we are confident of a positive financial outlook in future years. Despite all the financial challenges, we are pleased to report a significant reduction in debt.

First, we took the land which had been purchased for accommodation for the Waananga, sub-divided it, and sold part to a developer on the condition it was used to build 60 plus houses for Housing NZ. These will be built by mid to late 2006. We have arranged to name the streets after our founding tupuna.

Thirdly, we are planning to purchase back some of the houses once built, and use them for community housing purposes.

Finally, we negotiated the sale of the remainder of the land to the Housing Foundation, who plan to build around 50 houses which can be purchased by lower middle income whanau through an equity sharing scheme, where qualifying families rent initially, then are gifted part of the increase in value to put down as a deposit. The New Zealand Housing Foundation is a registered charitable trust formed in 2001. With support from both the public and private sector they are able to purchase land

Quality Systems We have worked hard to strengthen the quality of service delivery, and instituted a wide range of Quality Systems, Committees and processes, which are listed elsewhere in this report.

Whanau Open Day

Secondly, we have arranged to work with Housing NZ to manage the tenancies and support whanau through “wrapping around” our services.

Waitakere City Council partnership In 1998 we worked closely with Council and Hoani Waititi Marae to push for the establishment of a Waananga (university) for West Auckland, securing a mortgage loan from Council for the purchase of land for student accommodation. The Government imposed a moratorium on all new tertiary education, and the focus shifted to bodies such as UNITEC. We scaled down the proposed size of the Waananga, meaning the land was no longer required.

We then worked with Council and Housing NZ to investigate housing options, which lead to the Board approving the sale of the land in two parcels to

and construct affordable homes for aspiring first-time home owners under the Home Equity Programme. The Foundation holds an equity stake in the properties to enable an easy transition into home ownership for lowincome households.

With the successful sale of the land, the Trust has been able to reduce its debt and the ongoing costs of rates and interest on the loan from the Waitakere City Council. We are grateful to Council for the loan arrangement, and for its decision to refund much of the penalty interest arising from delays in refinancing the loan at the time the Trust was under intense media scrutiny. The Council always supported the development of a Waananga, and we have not seen the last of this matter.

We look forward to working closely with Council on a number of initiatives, developing positive social outcomes for our community, and finalising and building on our proposed Treaty-based partnership with Council.

Integration

Sadly, these measures all came with a price, both in terms of unbalanced and often inaccurate publicity, and the focus and financial resources required to manage and respond to the attention on our organisation. We also experienced a period of uncertainty from our funders, causing delays in securing support for much-needed new services.

achieve two complementary housing solutions for lower income families in our community. We arranged repayment of the Council loan in December 2004.

On 1 September 2005 we were pleased to throw open our doors to the community and showcase our huge range of quality services. Dr Nikki Turner gave a challenging opening presentation, highlighting the ongoing health needs of our whanau, and showing how the integrated approach we are developing is making a difference.

Whakawhanaungatanga Day We also had an enormously successful and fun team-building day at the Stadium, where our staff and kaumatua had our hearts and minds challenged by a thought-provoking address and role-play on the Treaty of Waitangi, followed by many team-building co-operative activities.

choice of paving or decking. You also need to consider the practicality and longevity of the finish.

When considering size, allow for plenty of garden space. Consider the type of entertaining you do as well as your family’s needs.

Carefully consider how close you want the pool to the house. The position of the pool will substantially affect how the rest of the garden is used – or not used.

Be certain when deciding on the position that there will be sufficient space for all the family’s requirements such as grassed area for children and entertaining areas.

If the pool occupies a large part of the available space, the area beyond the pool, furthest from the house, can be used for little other than decorative purposes. It is important to have access to the pool from two sides.

From a landscaping point of view, allowing for planting on two sides gives the best overall effect. Once you’ve sited your pool, you need to think about the actual pool itself.

When deciding on the size of the pool you must consider why you want the pool. If it is to be used for exercise, you’ll need to have it

Plan your

landscaping!

Swimming Pool Buyer’s Guide

Plan for an integrated environment You’ve finally made the decision to put in a pool. Great. Now what do you do?

Few of us are in a position to simply ring a landscape architect and say “do it and send me the bill”. Besides, most people like to feel some sense of involvement when making such a major alteration to their home.

Here are some basics that a new pool owner should consider.

The decisions regarding the choice of pool surrounds and how they relate to the pool and the planting are probably one of the most critical. Often it is not easy to achieve a balance between what is aesthetically pleasing and what is practical while still staying within a given budget. Although it is difficult, it is worth all the initial trouble of planning the pool and garden as a whole; deciding exactly how you ultimately want the area to look.

Even if you only implement the plan in stages, at least there will be a cohesive feeling which will be present from early development.

26

Investigate a wide range of materials, finishes, styles and options and don’t stint within the confines of your budget. Don’t think you can’t afford something that you would really like to have.

While it might be out of the question at present, later it could be quite feasible. If it hasn’t been planned for, it could create a real problem. For example, even if you don’t put in pool lighting right away, at least have the basic wiring installed so lights can be added later. It will be much more expensive and heart breaking to install if established planting and paving has to be dug up.

The best way to tackle the problem of landscape design is to start making sketches of what you think you want. Ask yourself what things you want around the pool and then put those things into an order of priority. This is the point when many people need or want to consult a professional. Design consultancy costs are inexpensive and may,

as long as possible. But if it’s simply for fun, for cooling off and for lazing around, then you have few restrictions on the shape.

Consider whether you want the pool in shade, sun or combination and then assess your garden from that point taking into account that summer and winter sun positions are slightly different.

Privacy is another major factor. There may be a natural location in the yard which provides privacy but this may not be the best area for sun or easy access to the house.

Once you have chosen the position and size of the pool, think about the pool and its surroundings as a complete landscape design.

First consider all the things you might like to have around the pool. You will almost certainly want some type of paved area or timber decking which needs to be chosen in the context of the total landscape.

Consider whether or not to have mosaic tiles around the top of the pool. These must also work well with the pool surrounds.

Unless there is nothing in the garden or you are prepared to pull everything out, you must be aware of the position of trees and

other planting in relation to the position of the pool. If the pool is too close to overhanging trees you will face a fair amount of maintenance from leaves dropping into the pool.

Structures such as barbecues, pergolas and garden sheds, even the mundane clothes line, need to be taken into account.

There are also a number of construction technicalities which must be considered. You must consider ease of access for excavation machines and other construction equipment.

If heavy equipment can easily reach the site, it can save you a great deal on constructions costs. If there is no direct access to your property, but there is through a neighbour’s, you will need to strike some sort of arrangement to compensate him for allowing the equipment to come through his property.

Also think about what the garden will look like at night. A creatively lit landscape and pool can give a completely new dimension to a house at night.

Whether you decide to use the services of a landscaper or to do it all yourself, you must know what you need and what you want before you start.

in fact, save a great deal of money in pool and landscape construction, a great deal of anguish over design and possible disappointment over the end result.

When you start working out just what sort of pool you want, it is important to view the pool as just one of several elements making up the garden landscape. All these elements – pool, paving, grass and garden – must work together to create a total impression.

The best starting point to consider is the positioning of the pool in the garden. Should the pool go in the front yard or the back?

Where will it look most natural?

It is at this point you must consider exactly what shape you want for your pool.

Square and rectangular pools immediately give a garden a more formal look while free form pools give a more causal appearance.

When deciding on the shape also consider the style of the house because the pool and landscape must complement the house as well. After you’ve decided on a shape consider the finish of the pool. The colour and style should be considered in conjunction with the

Hi-Rate sand filters were introduced as a logical upgrade to the older “rapid sand” filters which were basically gravity fed devices through which pool water percolated from being topped up by water pumped from the pool.

The Hi-Rate sand filter is a pressure fed tank of special filtration sand, supplied by pool water at pressures ranging from 70 to 100 Kpa (about 8 to 15 psi).

Contamination in the pool water – called turbidity – is trapped in the layers of filter sand, then periodically “back washed” to a nearby gully trap or soak pit. This cycle is repeated manually each time the filter pressure reaches the point that water flow is restricted by the debris in the filter sand. Back-washing in this manner restores the filter to low pressure, and the cycle repeats. It is normal to backwash a filter several times per season, although this is dependant on how clean the pool stays.

Other filtration types include Cartridge filters (that contain internal cartridges that can be flushed with a garden hose when required) and Diatomaceous Earth (Fuller’s Earth) — and although D.E. filters are very effi-

Pool Pump

Cascade uses the best available pool pump which is matched in output to the appropriate filter size. These units are usually plastic mouldings, and although are “drip proof” it is suggested that you enclose both pump and filter in a small shed or lean-to. The pumps are quiet in operation, but remember — with every Cascade pool you receive an electronic time switch, which ensures that your pump will switch off at night, thus eliminating any noise problems with your neighbours.

Cascade uses top quality Hi-Rate sand filtration, and top quality pumps which carry a three year guarantee.

Pool Equipment

Pool equipment supplied with the Classic and Ultimate pool range includes a Manual Vacuum Set (comprising adjustable pole, vacuum brush head, flexible vac hose) a leaf scoop, a pool floor brush, a 3-in-l test kit, a stainless steel 2-tread pool ladder (goes in deep end if you add walk-out steps) pool thermometer, and of course the Aquagenie automatic skimming and chlorination device.

All pools are finished with top quality edgings (copings) and an instruction Manual and two Video Tapes on pool water maintenance are also supplied.

While salt chlorination is an effective way to sanitise pool water, it can create problems for the internal workings of pumps. Only Pantera by onga pumps deliver five-way internal corrosion protection for the ultimate in performance and longevity.

Selecting a suitable pump for your house Use the chart below to determine what size you need. The house type you have may not be shown but it is to give you some idea of tge size of pump you need. Nearly every house or application for a pump is different so this is purely indicative.

More deatils of how each pump differs is hown in the pages floowing but generally the Jet and Jexi series are suitable for applications where the water source is below the pump and the difference between the two being the construction - the Jet being cast iron and the Jexi stainless steel.

The MK series have multiple impellers which makes for a more efficient and much quieter pump but has limited ability to draw water from below itself so it is more suited to appliations where the tank is right beside it.

The new series MJ and MJX have multiple impellers like the MK series but have more ability to suiction lift for below ground tanks.

CONTROLLING YOUR PUMP n Once you have decided on a pump, you need to choose a device to control it. the most common controller or device is the electronic auto controller. this device attached to the discharge of the pump automatically turns the pump on and off according to demand and just as importantly turns the pump off if it runs out of water (runs dry). n For the Jet60, Jexi65, MJ63 and MJX63 use the CT-WTEPU controller. n For the rest use the CT-WTPCU controller n In some situations the electronic auto controllers aren’t so suitable like areas where poor power supply fluctuates badly or small leaks are present especially older plumbing and through fittings. n For these situations the pressure tank and the pressure switch system maybe more suitable. n Additional dry run protection is available.

Myth Busting

Reports ANA Member

The following article is reproduced from Public Health Nutrition Advice, Auckland District Health Board, Nutrition Newsletter, Sept 2001.

Cancer Society –

Te Hotu Manawa Maori

First Australasian Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer Conference Sydney 24 – 26 June 2002 (Auckland Satellite Meeting 21 June 2002)

The THMM nutrition and physical activity team is looking a little different these days. As is pointed out on page 2 Judith Ka’ai has recently resigned, and Laurie Wharemate is now in the managers position. Laurie has two new staff on board to assist her. Sian Warriner (Ngati Porou, Ngati Whatua) is a very recent graduate from the Department of Human Nutrition at Otago. Sian was one of the people who benefited from the ‘Kai o te Hauora’ Maori Community Nutrition Scholarship sponsored by Kellogg’s. She is joined by Leonie Matoe (Nga Rauru, Nga Ruahine) who has a Bachelor of Physical Education from Otago and has recently worked for Te Puni Kokiri. If you think the name is familiar its because she played for the Capital Shakers netball team in 2001.

This year the Cancer Council of Australia and the New Zealand Cancer Society joined forces to form the Nutrition and Cancer Working Party. The trans-Tasman initiative aims to progress and co-ordinate action on the promotion of healthy nutrition as a contribution to the prevention of cancer.

The public health community will have a chance to hear the latest evidence linking nutrition and cancer, in particular the: ● epidemiology of nutrition and cancer ● behavioural and other influences on dietary patterns ● efficacy of nutrition interventions and ● role of advocacy, public policy and research.

‘Don’t eat carbohydrates at night’

T

his claim is doing the rounds at the moment – have you heard it? For some unknown reason it is attracting an increasing number of followers.

Proponents state that if you eat carbohydrate at night it will be converted to fat tissue as you sleep. At the same time it appears to be fine to consume protein and fat after sunset. The reasoning behind the theory is illogical and evidence is non-existant.

Weight (fat) gain occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. It is a totally flawed concept that it is the carbohydrate portion of an evening meal that is responsible for any excess energy (calories). In fact carbohydrate has a lower energy density compared to protein and fat: 1 gram carbohydrate = 3.75 calories 1 gram protein = 4 calories 1 gram fat = 9 calories 1 gram alcohol = 7 calories

Check it out!

ANA recently contributed to an article on diets.

Entitled ‘Making friends with your stomach’ the article discusses whether low carbo diets and other popular diets actually work. See the September 2001 issue of Consumer magazine.

Carbohydrate is also the preferred source of fuel for the body and is the least likely macronutrient to end up as stored body fat.

Another belief is that our bodies work on a 24-hour clock. Following this theory any excess energy at the end of the day is converted to fat tissue during the night when our metabolic rate is lower. The reality is that energy intake and energy expenditure is not balanced on a daily or even weekly basis, but over a period of time.

Enjoy pasta, rice, potatoes and other starchy vegetables with your evening meal!

Did you know? ● All carbohydrate is digested to glucose ● The adult brain requires about 140g of glucose per day and the red blood cells about 40g. ● In the absence of carbohydrate the body can produce glucose from proteins, lactic acid and glycerol. However it can only produce approximately 130g per day through this process.

Hence there is a shortfall off of 50g. ● The brain can adapt to this shortfall and oxidise ketone bodies for the reminder of its energy needs. However this ketotic state is dangerous and judgement may be impaired. ● Carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet.

The conference will address each of the four factors cited above as well as focus on physical activity and obesity.

Prof Graham Colditz, from the Harvard Nurses and Health Professional Study will be one of the keynote international speakers at the conference.

THMM have two training sites for next year already planned. They are taking their ‘Kai totika me whakapakari tinana’ training to Pukekohe from March to May 2001, and to Christchurch from May to July. The training will be run over a period of 3 weeks (one week each month) at each site. The training is provided free of charge for Maori Health workers who need to upskill in nutrition and physical activity. Contact Laurie Wharemate – 09 571 9014 for further information.

Carolyn Watts will represent the NZ Cancer Society on the Organising Committee and Dr Murray Skeaff has been appointed to the Scientific Programme Committee.

New Zealand Nutrition Foundation

The meeting will broadly be broken into three sections.

We anticipate 50% of the effort will be invested into nutrition issues, 25% into physical activity and 25% into issues common to both or related specifically to obesity control. There will be an opportunity to present free papers at the conference.

NZNF used their recently held Carbohydrate seminars to gain media attention about the role of Carbohydrate as part of a healthy diet. Many newspapers around the country picked up their press release that warned the New Zealand public about the dangers of low-carbohydrate diets like the ‘Zone’ or the Aitken’s diet.

It was great to meet many of you at the ANA forums held at the end of May, I enjoyed the opportunity to meet people involved in nutrition and physical activity as well as to catch up with old friends and colleagues. I hope that you were all able to get something from the day and I will be reading the evaluations carefully in preparation for next year! For those of you who didn’t make it to the forums I have included summaries of many of the presentations in this newsletter – however, there wasn’t room to fit all of the presentation summaries so I’ll include the remainder in our next newsletter. I was also very lucky to be invited to the national hui for the Mäori community nutrition projects held in Gisborne in May, so it was great to see the strength of work in this area continues.

After the forums I moved to a new office in the Christchurch city centre. I am now located within the building occupied by Crown Public Health, who have an active nutrition and physical activity team and I am also close to the regional offices of the Heart Foundation and Cancer Society. So it is good to come to work everyday and stay in touch with people working in nutrition and physical activity.

In the upcoming months my key focus will be redeveloping the ANA website so that it can be used as a tool for our work in advocacy and collaboration. Some of you have contacted me with your details which are out of date on the current website so this will be amended in the coming months. We are also planning to add things like discussion pages etc, so the website is useful as a networking tool for those who work in the nutrition and physical activity sector.

As a group we are currently reviewing at our strategic plan and constitution so I will use this section of the newsletter to keep you informed of developments within ANA. Lastly, with the change of office I have new contact details which are listed below. So please stay in touch!

OBESITy ANA Forum Highlights –

IN CHIlDREN

This years ANA Forums in May focused on nutrition and physical activity in children.

At every forum except Christchurch where she had spoken last year Dr Rachael Taylor presented about Obesity in Children – how is it measured and what can we do about it?

In a comprehensive presentation Rachael drew our attention to research about the factors that may have contributed to this problem including: • Although increasing portion size in both ‘fast food’ and ‘normal’ restaurants has increased dramatically in recent years, more research is required to determine if and how portion size actually affects food intake in children1 • Sugary drinks – a recent observational study in the US demonstrated how increasing BMI was related to an increased intake of sugar sweetened drinks in children, even after controlling for diet, previous BMI and physical activity2 • Research in NZ demonstrates how inconsistent current food advertisements targeting children are with our food pyramid3

• Consumption of food in front of the television noting that with more hours spent in front of the television children are more likely consume high fat snack foods and sugary drinks4 • Watching television itself – between the ages of 2 and 17 US children spend 3 years of their waking lives watching television, not including time spent watching videos, playing video games or using a computer5 Rachael also talked about some of the successful intervention studies in children including an intervention which challenged children to decrease the hours of television they watched each week, which had a significant impact on their BMI and waist circumference6. However she did note that there had been difficulties with many of the school based obesity interventions with school and state laws sometimes being counter-productive. Making healthy eating and physical activity as attractive as popular sedentary activities and some foods is a challenge to all of us. There is most definitely a place for more research to into what will work best to prevent the ever-increasing problem of childhood obesity.

Food Myth Busted Taken from New Zealand Healthy Food Guide, April 2007 edition

“Margarine is but one molecule away from plastic”

A

myth commonly doing the “email rounds”.

The email is full of scary statements including that if you put a tub of margarine outside it

wont decompose because it’s “nearly plastic”.

Dietician Caryn Zinn explains: “When we examine the chemical structures of both materials, it is easy to see why someone would suggest this; margarine has a similar chemical backbone structure to plastic. However, the same could be said about butter, or any fatty acid present in the human body. Many varied substances share similar

any stars and constellations acted as milestones in the Maori calendar however Matariki was amongst the most significant.

It is a small but distinctive star cluster whose appearance in the north eastern pre-dawn sky in late May or early June marks the start of a new phase of life.

Matariki can be translated in two ways – Mata Riki (Tiny Eyes) and Mata Ariki (Eyes of God). Either way the eyes are thought to watch over the land and its people.

The appearance of Matariki in the sky is considered vital. If the stars in the cluster are clear and bright, it is thought the year ahead will be warm and productive. If they appear hazy and shimmering, a cold winter is in store, and all activities during the period of Matariki must take this into account.

Matariki is also a time of new beginnings, a time to pause and reflect on the year that was and the year that will be. So naturally it is a time for people to take a look at their lifestyles, their health and make some changes for the better. Start your new year with some new goals and resolutions.

Christmas Food Safety Avoiding food borne illness at Christmas will be easy if you remember the 4C’s of keeping food safe. Cook, Clean, Cover, Chill - these are the actions to keep in mind when preparing and storing food for the Christmas festivities.

W

hy should I take extra care to keep food safe at Christmas?

There are a number of factors

that increase the risk of food borne illness at Christmas time. We all tend to gather larger quantities of kai to cater for whänau over the holiday period and therefore tend to cook and store larger quantities of kai. Storing left-over kai after Christmas means an increase in possible breeding ground for bacteria that cause food borne illness. Summer is a particularly hazardous time for food borne illness with food preparation often moving out of the kitchen to the outdoors for BBQs and hangi. Bacteria multiply faster on food in moist, warm conditions.

Some easy tips to keep you and your whänau safe over the holidays! n Buy or gather meats, kaimoana and dairy products as close to Christmas as possible and refrigerate

or freeze immediately. n The correct temperature for your fridge is between

1-4 degrees; check regularly and if unsure call a professional. Store all raw meat products on the bottom shelf so juices don’t drip over other kai. n Make sure you defrost meat thoroughly in the

fridge, allowing at least 24 hours for every 4-5 lbs (2-2.5kg) of weight. n Leftover meat should be taken off the bone, cut

into small pieces and stored in a covered shallow dish and refrigerated within two hours of serving.

Once refrigerated it should be eaten within three days. If you are re-heating food, make sure it is steaming hot all the way through.

Further information on keeping food safe this Christmas is available at www.foodsafe.org.nz or www.nzfsa.govt.nz

Hui Update The annual National Mäori Nutrition and Physical Activity Hui was held this year at Huria Marae in Tauranga. The hui, in its tenth year, saw a combination of vibrant, challenging presentations with a warm friendly atmosphere making it one of the best ever.

120

people from around the motu descended on the beautiful Huria Marae for the 3 day conference.

The hui objective was to bring together Mäori in the nutrition, physical activity and public health areas, to ensure that all information is promoted consistently across the sector. Additionally, to

strengthen relationships between Mäori providers, agencies, trusts and communities so that nutrition and physical activity remains a priority for all.

The hui not only allowed for dissemination of relevant results and interventions from around the island but also paved the way for a celebration of uniqueness that is being Mäori. The whakawhanaungatanga and waiata sessions, an integral part of these hui, allowed for a strengthening of relationships at both personal and professional levels.

The hui atmosphere and programme reflected the theme, ‘Whakapuputia mai o manuka kia kore ai e whati’ - Cluster the branches of the manuka so that they will not break. The programme was filled with informative speakers, inspirational leaders and physical activity workshops that encouraged full participation.

The action packed programme covered many different aspects of Nutrition and Physical Activity from healthy canteen cooking displays to new research projects to an insightful presentation from Dr Manuka Henare on Mäori World View. Ngäti Porou guest kaumatua Pakura Ahuriri said “As far as I am concerned this was one of the best hui I’ve ever attended”.

Tentative dates for next years hui have been set at 17-19th October 2007. Be sure to mark this in your diary now!!

Te Hotu Manawa Mäori and associates would like to thank the whänau of Huria Marae for their involvement and commitment to the kaupapa and also the continued and fantastic support of Agencies for Nutrition Action.
