Graffiti drops away in suburbs BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD A survey to record where taggers are operating in the city has shown a drop across most southern suburbs. The city council survey covered eight southern suburbs and showed a decrease in all but two. Addington showed the biggest drop, with 678 recorded last year dropping to 100 this year. Phillipstown has seen a significant decrease over the past three years, with 1731 recorded in 2013, dropping to 773 last year and again to 299 this year. Beckenham recorded the lowest number of graffiti of all the southern suburbs and the second lowest across the city with 16.

Graffiti in Hillmorton has risen from last year up to 233, but still lower than the 429 recorded in 2013. Halswell remained unchanged. The data was gathered as part of the Annual Graffiti Scan which took place for a week in February. It was the fifth city council scan completed, and is done yearly as a snapshot of the graffiti and to track trends within the city. The aim was to record where graffiti is so the city council could have it cleaned off, and to have a record of where taggers are operating. This year was the first time community watch patrols have been involved. • Turn to page 7

Women linked to DVD thefts BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

A Woolston business owner’s public plea on social media has helped track down a group of women who allegedly stole from his store. United Video Woolston had 15 DVDs stolen on April 26 and the store’s security footage showed three women allegedly taking them. It was alleged they used a knife to cut open the cases and put the DVDs into their pockets and bags before hiding the broken cases and leaving the store. Store owner Trevor Morris reported the thefts to police with the footage, and took to the store’s Facebook page to seek help. He posted photos from the security footage of the women and it was shared 184 times.

He had people contact him with their names and addresses, which he passed onto police. On May 1 he was notified that police had leads, but it was indicated that the store would not get the DVDs back. A police spokeswoman confirmed a complaint was received on April 30 relating to the incident but would not elaborate on the details. “Canterbury police are following a number of positive lines of inquiry in relation to this matter.” She said police encouraged victims to contact them prior to posting information about their complaint on social media. Mr Morris said each DVD was worth about $20 and it was “terribly frustrating”. “It’s a bit silly them doing things like this now the shops are all monitored.”

He said with the insurance excess it would not be worth claiming it back. He put the post on Facebook because he had seen other businesses doing it and it seemed to have worked. It had been effective and he would do it again if anything else happened in the future, he said. “It’s quite handy, we got very good clear images on our camera.” He was contacted by Civic Videos in Kaiapoi, because its staff had seen the security footage and recognised one of the alleged. Civic Videos Kaiapoi owner Megan Morris said one of her staff members alerted her of the post, and she recognised one of the alleged. She believed the alleged had hit her store with another

woman in January last year and stole 56 DVD games worth between $3000-$4000. The thefts had also been recorded on the store’s security cameras. “I’m 99.9 per cent sure that was the same woman.” The two women were arrested last year after trying to sell the games at a pawn shop and were ordered to pay reparations. Ms Morris said at that time the woman she recognised was pregnant, and in the recent security footage from United Video Woolston, she was holding a small child. She got some of the stock back from the pawn shop but the excess was too large to claim insurance. “I was absolutely devastated, it’s hard enough in this industry without these mongrels coming in and doing that.”

Rest home odour still lingers BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD Lower Cashmere residents have had no reprieve from an odour wafting from a nearby retirement village. Residents have complained of odours coming from the Cashmere View Retirement Village laundry and kitchen for more than three years. Last week the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board wrote to Bupa New Zealand Ltd, which owns the Rose St village, requesting a meeting with representatives of the Lower Cashmere Residents’ Association, Environment Canterbury and the board to discuss the ongoing concerns. ECan served an abatement notice to Bupa in October to stop discharging the “offensive” odours. The smells were to be gone by November 7, but they still remain. ECan has received 337 complaints about the odours over the past three years, with 39 received this year. Of the 337 complaints, 39 have been substantiated. Lower Cashmere Residents Association secretary Louise Ayling said the issues had not been resolved and it was frustrating for those living with it. “The abatement notice was to say there was a problem, but odours continued to be omitted past their boundary onto neighbouring properties.” She said Bupa was trying to

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN address the issue by putting in several filtration systems, but none had worked. “In recent weeks we’ve had intense odours again.” She said the odours could be perfumed, bleach like, or a burnt fuel smell and in a northeast or northwest wind it would travel. Ms Ayling said residents in the area ranged from being retired, or working full or part time so some smelt it more often than others and it could cause stress. “It’s not possible to continue living with the pressures it causes. “We want to retain the special character of our neighbourhood.”

▌IN ▌ BRIEF No sign of spheres

Police are still no closer to finding out who stole two bronze sculptures from Halswell Quarry Park. The Spheres were a gift to symbolise the sister-city relationship between Adelaide and Christchurch and more than $50,000 of bronze was used to create them. They were reported missing on April 1. A police spokeswoman said investigations were ongoing and are keen to hear from anyone who may have information as to their disappearance.

Last week Bupa head of communications Lisa Chambers told the Southern View the company continued to treat the matter seriously. “Just last week we completed the installation of a new kitchen filter which we hope will address any kitchen odour. We are also expecting laundry wash side filters to be installed by the end of this week.” She said alterations had also been made in the kitchen and laundry earlier this year to try and combat the problem. “We are always happy to meet community members and have

been in dialogue with neighbours for quite some time.” ECan RMA monitoring and compliance regional manager Marty Mortiaux said it was heading towards a resolution with the installation of the new filtration system. “We have not had any complaints of kitchen odours since that occurred. Bupa are currently installing filter systems into their laundry areas to deal with those odours. “There have been a couple of significant odour discharges while these improvements have been happening.”

Signs rejected

Plans to install no-stopping restrictions on both sides of Mokihi Gardens, Annex Rd and Linden Grove Ave next to the roundabout have been rejected by the SpreydonHeathcote Community Board. Board members visited the site and decided there was not enough traffic to warrant a change.

Factory given two years to combat odour By Alice Peacock

A SMELLY Christchurch factory has been given two years to stop producing its offensive odours. Environment Canterbury commissioners have approved an exemption for Gelita’s Woolston factory. The factory turns bovine hides into gelatin producing products ranging from confectionary to pill capsules. The commissioners granted Gelita a two-year exemption from a condition stating that “there be no offensive odour identified as originating from any process carried out . . . beyond the property boundary of the site”. There have been hundreds of complaints about the smell over the past three years; 114 in 2014 alone. Alasdair Cassels, owner of The Tannery, a high-end retail development that opened in 2013 said the extended time given to the company to fix the factory’s problem was unfair.

COMPLAINTS: Gelita general manager Gary Monk at the company’s Woolston factory. A two-year period to get rid of the smell has been granted. PHOTO: ALICE PEACOCK Commissioners granted the two-year exemption with a series of conditions.

“Gelita had already been given a three-year period to get their ducks in a row.”

These included the installation of iron-exchange technology, along with the closing down of the

Pollution fears prompt air quality monitoring By Bridget Rutherford Lyttelton’s air quality will be monitored after concerns were raised about pollution. Environment Canterbury has told the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board it will monitor the particle pollution in the area for one year to see if it meets the national standards. Community board chairwoman Paula Smith said the issue had been in discussion for over a year, and the news was well received. The board held a seminar in June last year with ECan representatives to discuss the possibility of monitoring, and had recently reached a verbal agreement that it would go ahead. It has not been confirmed when it begin but ECan will come back to the board with a proposal in the next couple of months, she said.

“We’ve got a number of [pollution] sources that are in close proximity to each other in Lyttelton in a town that is enclosed by hills.” Those sources included the Lyttelton tunnel ventilation system, diesel locomotives, vessels entering and leaving port, moored vessels, machines loading and unloading industrial sources and an increasing number of freight trucks. With the expansion of the Lyttelton Port of Christchurch, it is expected that freight volumes will increase significantly over the next 40 years, she said. “If we haven’t got a problem now, we may well have one in the future.” Air quality was last monitored in Lyttelton in 2003 and the four sites chosen were in residential areas and not where diesel concen-

trations were likely to be highest. Ms Smith said this time round, Norwich Quay may be an area that could be monitored because it will have one of the highest concentrations of vehicles and businesses. Tunnel exhaust fumes were also a concern because some people lived very close to it. She said someone had to take overall responsibility of monitoring the air that people in the area were breathing, and ECan would be doing that when it goes ahead. ECan principal strategy advisor Nadeine Dommisse said a proposal for monitoring air quality in Lyttelton had been discussed with the community board but details had not been developed at this stage. “Further discussions are planned with the community board in June and also with other organisations with an interest in

air quality,” she said. The city council has also made a submission on ECan’s Air Plan outlining concerns with air pollution in the area. The Lyttelton Port was a focus of the submission, with dust and diesel emissions from port activities showing to be a concern. Councillors decided the monitoring of particle pollution was urgent because of the increasing freight volumes. But in a report prepared by the Lyttelton Port last year as part of its Port Lyttelton Plan information package, it predicted there would be no breach of the relevant air quality standard levels. The city council’s submission also said traffic congestion and discharges had altered since the earthquakes and existing monitoring programmes may not reflect those changes.

factory’s acid plant within the first year. Gelita was also told to install a bio filter by the end of the given two years, which ECan expects will prevent the offensive odour. Gelita general manager Gary Monk has estimated the process to cost Gelita about $1 million within the first year. Several hundreds of thousands will be needed for the year following. “We’ve developed a process that’s been good for the past 100 years, aside from being a bit smelly . . . We’re changing the process and we’ve got to make sure that the quality of the finished gelatin is as good as it ever was.” ECan monitoring and compliance leader Nathan Dougherty said the hearing was a chance for the company to put forward its request for a grace period and re-engage with the community. “Everyone has the right to good air quality.” Gelita’s failure to comply with ECan’s conditions would result in consequences ranging from fining, to an abatement notice.

New home for pottery club By Ben Mack

A Mt Pleasant pottery group has found a new home at the former Phillipstown School. Mt Pleasant Pottery Club president Shona Clarkson said she is excited the 55-year-old club will be able to use classroom seven at the Phillipstown Community Hub as its new home for pottery classes, workshops, and more. “The facilities will be fantastic,” she said. Classes began at the club’s new home on April 20. Before then, the roughly 30-member club had been struggling to find a home after the February 2011 earthquake destroyed the Mt Pleasant Community Centre where it had been based. Ms Clarkson added the club hosts a club day each Tuesday from 12.30-3pm. She said: “Everyone is very welcome to our club day.” Ms Clark added that potters of all skill levels are welcome. Ms Clarkson added that those wishing to learn more about the club may phone club secretary Genevieve Forrester at 332 7785.

Success takes chorus to Vegas competition Christchurch City Chorus, directed by Virginia Humphrey Taylor, won the chorus contest at the Sweet Adelines New Zealand competitions held in Auckland last weekend. The 125-strong chorus was formed 30 years ago, and has won the regional contest every time it has competed. The latest success means the chorus is eligible to compete at the Sweet Adelines International contest in Las Vegas in 2016. Wellington’s Faultline Chorus, directed by Caroline Currington, took second place and the Waikato Rivertones chorus, directed by Lynn Jamieson and Kate Sinclair, finished third.

WINNERS: The Christchurch City Chorus has won the chorus contest at the Sweet Adelines New Zealand competitions. The quartet contest was won by Auckland quartet MOLTO! with Aftershock! from Christchurch in second place. IMPACT! quartet from Wellington was third. The event was SANZ 30th an-

niversary contest and was held at the Aotea Centre. Nearly 600 women participated in the event over three days, including two days of competition for 18 quartets and 10 choruses

Traffic light control boxes in for spruce up BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

Motorists and pedestrians stopping at traffic lights will soon have some new artwork to look at. Transitional projects in Woolston and Sydenham will see some traffic light control boxes turned into works of art with murals painted on them. They are the metal boxes at traffic light intersections that house the light electronics. The city council is looking to trial the art in the hopes it will make the boxes look nicer, and cut down on graffiti and hopes to have them completed by the end of next month. Urban design and regeneration acting unit manager Carolyn Bonis said traffic light control boxes are located at the junction of almost all controlled intersections in the city. “These utility boxes are usually painted in a neutral colour but are often the target of vandalism and graffiti.” She said two Sydenham locations have been scoped as potentially appropriate. The first location proposed is on the Byron and Colombo Sts corner, and the second on the Battersea and Colombo Sts corner. “This is a transitional project being implemented to test the

Idea turned down for coach, taxi stand near The Tannery BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

ART: The murals will look similar to this roadside electricity cabinet in New Brighton. potential for murals being used to reduce the occurrence of graffiti on council assets, as well as providing additional community artworks.” She said expressions of interest from local artists in the Sydenham area have been sought. Three locations have also been scoped along Ferry Rd at the Wilsons Rd, Ensors Rd, and Hargood St intersections. Local artists are currently being sought to complete these projects. The artists will be commissioned to complete the murals in their unique style and in a contextual way that reflects the identity and of the surrounding area.

Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board chairwoman Sara Templeton said the murals looked like a really good idea. She said the boxes were often the target of graffiti and this would stop that. “It will be great for local artists too.” Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board member Helene Mautner said the artwork would make the area look nicer. “Hopefully it will cut down on graffiti.” There are also plans for light gateway sculptures in Woolston Village, but details are yet to be finalised.

An idea to turn unused bus stops near The Tannery into coach and taxi stands has been rejected. City council traffic engineer Stephen Hughes said changing the stops on Garlands Rd would be dangerous. The Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board has accepted Mr Hughes’ recommendation and turned down the idea. In November, The Tannery made a deputation to the community board about using the decommissioned bus stops as coach and taxi stands since the routes had been changed. But Mr Hughes recommended “The Tannery be encouraged to provide taxi and coach parking facilities in their off-road car park if they believe there is sufficient demand”. Mr Hughes said the bus stop on the southern side of the road sat next to a cycle lane, and previously buses stopped for short periods of time having minimal effect on cyclists. “However, if this decommissioned bus stop was changed to long-term coach or taxi parking, as they would occupy the space for long periods of time, the cycle lane in this dangerous part of Garlands

Rd would be denied to cyclists.” The stop on the northern side of the road is outside a cycle shop and partly across its vehicle entrance, but because buses stopped for brief periods of time, it was acceptable. But if it was made into coach or taxi parking, the bus stop area would have to be shortened and could only legally fit one taxi. Mr Hughes said it would mean pedestrians would have to cross the road, which currently has no pedestrian crossings in close proximity. Board chairwoman Sara Templeton said Mr Hughes’ report was very clear and the board agreed with his assessment. “Garlands Rd is not suitable.” The Tannery property manager Grant McIver said he could not comment on the outcome because he had not seen the minutes of the community board meeting. Meanwhile, the SpreydonHeathcote Community Board approved no stopping restrictions on Garlands Rd near its intersection with Opawa Rd. The no stopping restriction will run 65m along the northern side of the road from the Opawa Rd intersection and aims to increase vehicle manoeuvre space and solve the congestion problem.

Further asbestos testing for church rubble BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

The Sydenham Heritage Church rubble on the corner of Colombo and Brougham Sts looks likely to remain until further testing confirms there is no asbestos on the site. The Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board has made a request to city council staff to provide advice on further asbestos testing of the church rubble. The board would like to find out what definitive and robust asbestos testing can be done at the site to determine the best way to clear it. In April last year, the Canter-

bury Earthquake Recovery Authority contracted PDL Partners to undertake testing of the material on site, and the results were sent to the trust. The following month, city council documents revealed traces of asbestos and lead paint had been found on the surface of the rubble. But asbestos tests conducted by the Sydenham Heritage Trust before Christmas showed no trace within the rubble. Trust chairwoman Dorothy Haywood said she would be lying if she did not say the wait was frustrating. The trust’s testing, taken 30cm into the rubble was clear, she said.

“I don’t believe there is asbestos in the building.” She said the trust had received confirmation from the architects and the company who had previously done strengthening work on the building that there was no asbestos in it. The church was built in 1877

First Ballantynes fire engine is back RESTORED: Vehicle collector Thomas Grace found this vintage fire engine rusting in a paddock 10 years ago, and donated it to the Ferrymead Heritage Park Hall of Flame Fire Museum. The engine has since been restored by volunteers, and he was able to drive it through the streets this week from Ferrymead to the Woolston Fire Station. The engine was the first on the scene of the 1947 Ballantynes fire, and was also used at New Brighton, Sydenham, and Lyttelton fire stations. It is now on display at the museum.

when asbestos was not used, and it barely had any work done on it since, she said. “I believe it’s wind-blown asbestos.” She updated the community board on the progress last week, which prompted the board to request the advice. “Any positive action is a step in the right direction.” She said the trust would dearly love to see the site cleared but did not know when it would finally happen. “You think you know these things, but you don’t know how long anything takes these days.” Meanwhile, the trust and the

Friends of Sydenham Trust have been working together to keep the site tidy, she said. The Sydenham Heritage Church was badly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake and demolished shortly after, but there was confusion over who called for it to be torn down. The site has been covered in rubble ever since. Community board member Helene Mautner said the removal of the rubble was made difficult with the trace of asbestos found. “We are going to take action. “It’s a matter of getting the right information so we can move on with it.”

Graffiti drops away in suburbs • From page 1 Riccarton Community Watch members were out covering their own area as well as some southern suburbs. Watch co-ordinator Geoff Parfitt said he was chuffed with the results of the scan across the western and southern suburbs. He said the watch covered part of Addington and it showed a massive drop. The drop could have been down to population transition since the earthquakes, he said. “A lot of that is possible movement of taggers themselves. “They are quite territorial, they like to see their signs.” He said the watch would be

Other watches involved were Hornby Community Watch, Burwood-Pegasus Community Watch, City to Sumner Community Watch and Crime Watch based in Papanui.

School technology matches Japanese counterparts

BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD A Linwood College teacher who was selected to visit Japan, to learn about its advanced technology, says the school stacked up well against its Japanese counterparts. Head of digital technology, Diane Atkins, was one of eight New Zealand teachers who were selected to travel to Tokyo out of the 50 applicants. The group spent 10 days there to look at the technology in the country, and ways to implement some ideas in the classroom. Linwood College was New Zealand’s first science and technology focused STEM school, so the visit was of particular interest.

Mrs Atkins said the group was shown major developments in Tokyo, including the development of 5G technology and the train system, where it is hoped to get the train speed up to 500km/h. Mrs Atkins was excited about seeing Tokyo Technology High School, because it was labelled as a super science and technology school. “I hoped to bring back ideas from this to implement in my classes.” But in visiting the school, she found Linwood College stacked up well in terms of technology. “This visit proved to be a disappointment to me as I was hoping to see technology at its best and

bring back some ideas. “However, it did make me feel good as I can see we are giving our students many opportunities using up-to-date technologies.” She said a highlight of the trip was being able to see robots in action, in which she recorded videos of and brought back to show the students as an introduction to robotics. “What I’ve brought back is a reiterate of what we’re doing is good. “We’re on the right track.” She said what she saw of the trip backed up the school’s STEM curriculum. “It does seem to be the way to go and the way the world is going.”

The south/southeast zone netball trials were have been held with eight of the south’s best year 7 and 8 netballers being picked to go through to the citywide trials at the end of the month. The triallists to go through were Fia Lai-Kong, Winnie Palamo and Malia Faitaua-Nanai of Hillview Christian School; Georgia Sutherland and Julia Wynands of St Peter’s School, Amelia Clausen of St Martins School and Desa Jackson of Opawa School. The south/southeast zone netball trials were have been held with eight of the south’s best primary school netballers being picked to go through to the city-wide trials at the end of the month. The trials for the other zones are to be held over the coming weeks before all primary school triallists meet at Hagley Park for a Christchurch metro trial with the intermediate school trial on May 26 and the primary school one on May 28. From those trials, 60 will be selected for the next stage before that is whittled down to the final 30, for a trial on June 2 where the final team will be selected. The team will then travel around the South Island taking on teams from Dunedin, Ashburton, Selwyn and Timaru in August.

Cashmere looking strong for SuperNet BY KYLE KNOWLES

The premier high school netball competition starts on Wednesday but for Cashmere High, it feels like their season started a long time ago. The side played in the national college competition, with games played as curtain-raisers to ANZ Championship games. They lost in the first round to Southland Girls’ High but coach Kellie Fenemor said this will help them heading into SuperNet. “We weren’t quite at full capacity for that game and hadn’t had many trainings. We just struggled with their mid-court but we are really excited (for SuperNet) with a good bunch of girls who train really hard with a really good team atmosphere.” Cashmere are looking strong this year with seven out of nine returning from last year’s squad and two girls in Mainland Netball’s emerging talent squad. Goal shoot Sarah Boomer and defender Penny Mouat are the two in that squad and will be two of Cashmere’s senior players this year bringing the experience from their time in that setup. Fenemor said mid-court player Jasmine Saimoa and defender Ali Argus have both been playing well in pre-season games and the Saturday competition which Cashmere also play in.

They have started that competition well with two wins in as many games and are hoping to bring that form to the school competition. “I guess we are wanting to do pretty well and we do have some lofty goals for the year and we are thinking this is the year to do it and try to qualify for nationals.” Cashmere missed out on na-

tionals last year by one position, finishing sixth at the South Island competition and only the top five going through. “I think consistency and playing well from week to week and having the belief. The girls need to believe they have the ability and showing that on court. We are trying to work hard on defence too and making connec-

tions as a full team with the new members of the squad.” Cashmere qualified for SuperNet automatically along with St Margaret’s and St Andrew’s while the other schools had to play qualifying rounds. Fenemor said those other two schools will be strong. “St Margaret’s are always strong, they have been for a number of years. St Andrew’s have been pretty strong and are in the grade above us on Saturday. The thing about school girl netball is it can be a little bit up and down with player changes from year to year.”

Badminton work recognised BY KYLE KNOWLES John Morrish has been awarded the New Zealand Badminton administrator of the year, the first Cantabrian to do so. The Badminton Canterbury board chairman was presented the award at a function in Auckland during the Sky City Open held last weekend. He said he was chuffed to get the award after leading the organisation through some tough times and getting badminton back on track in Canterbury. “Canterbury Badminton has been in the doldrums the last 10 years and I came back on to the board last year. It has been going downhill for 10 years so we employed Selwyn Maister to do a review and he identified the problems we had. “So we developed a new strategic plan last year and to implement it we needed to do a restructure. Our general manager was stuck in the office and not getting around the schools promoting the sport. We changed that role and employed a coaching and development manager.” Overseeing this new direction for the sport in Canterbury is what Mr Morrish was awarded the prize for and said it was good recognition for the changes which had happened in Canterbury.

Matthew Mesman grew up playing football and looking up to former All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen, but now he is looking to fill the seat of Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale. The 18-year-old former Cashmere High student has been picked for the New Zealand rowing junior world championship squad to race in Brazil later this year after impressing at national trials. He had played football since he was five-years-old but in year 12 at school he realised he was not going to reach the heights of playing for the All Whites so decided to take up rowing. Two years on and he is about to represent his country with an eye on being an Olympic athlete. He said his ultimate goal is to row at the Olympics at the 2020 Tokyo games so being able to row at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro venue this year is special. “Hell yeah, it should be pretty epic, we get to use the Olympic course and that’s the ultimate goal, Tokyo 2020, it’s only five years away but that would be pretty awesome.” For someone who has only been rowing for just over two years it is a meteoric rise but he has taken it in his stride and was not overwhelmed when hearing he had been named in the squad.

Along the way, habits formed to help us can start working against us, like extra weight to keep safe or questioning our abilities to stay in a comfort zone.

Is something

holding you back?

oes it ever feel like you are driving through life with the hand brake on? As if something was holding you back? Or perhaps you’re so busy driving at high speed that you haven’t checked the direction you are heading in. Life can be great but sometimes things hold us back. To understand this, it helps to know the way we learn. We are born into a state where only our unconscious/automatic mind is operating. All tasks are completed without conscious thought – breathing,

blood circulation, digestion, growth as well as our ability to store memories or ways of doing things. It saves so much time – imagine if we had to think each morning about every step of leaving the house from getting up to walking, eating and brushing our teeth. Fortunately, our habit-formed memories let us do these tasks automatically. Along the way, habits formed to help us can start working against us, like extra weight to keep safe or questioning our abilities to stay in

a comfort zone. The good news is that we can create new habits using the same techniques, leaving us in control. It is important to use our unconscious/ automatic mind to bring about change because we experience the world through what we see, hear, feel, taste and smell. We can use sensory information to bring about positive change in the form of visualising, listening to stories, symbols and using imagination. Self-hypnosis is an effective technique because it combines what you

consciously want through accessing the powerful unconscious automatic mind with you in control. NLP and self-hypnosis coach Rebecca Cragnolini suggests a great quick technique for people to try at home. We all know that feeling when something we have been trying to remember pops into our heads when we’re not consciously thinking about it. This is our unconscious working for us. Start by imagining what you want. What do you see, hear, feel, taste and smell? Now ask your mind what’s important to bring that about. Then, Rebecca says, forget about it and wait to see what the answer will be. Rebecca’s very popular and effective weight management programmes apply similar methods.

Give investments time time to mature Give investments

Liz Koh

MAKE no mistake, investing is a tough game and one that is extremely unforgiving. However, following this checklist may help make it easier. Time Very few investments will work well if you don’t give them time. For example, a balanced portfolio needs five to seven years for best results. Short-term trading and speculating is different and can be very risky unless it is your chosen profession (and even then, it’s still risky). Work out an asset allocation that meets your risk profile Decide if you are going to have 33 per cent bonds, 33 per cent property and 33 per cent shares. Or 25 per cent bonds, 50 per cent property, and 25 per cent shares. There are many variations and combinations - decide on one and stick to it. Rebalance regularly Allow a tolerance of, for example, 5 per cent and then rebalance. It is an essential discipline and yet a simple tool too. Rebalance or pay the price. Buy quality Junk bonds and certain properties may pay a higher yield, but if they do the risk will be higher. The NZ Super Fund just lost $200 million investing in a Portuguese bank - a classic junk bond.

Experts gather in Christchurch to discuss stroke-related issues Close to 100 experts, engineers, physiologists, clinicians, medical academics and students from around the world will discuss the impact of new technology on helping recovering patients at an international stroke rehabilitation conference in Christchurch.

eynote speakers from the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand will talk about neuroscience and neural recovery, clinical research and commercialisation. The May 10 to 12 conference is being hosted by the University of Canterbury Rose Centre for Stroke Recovery and Research at St George’s Medical Centre. The conference is the only one of its kind in New Zealand to target stroke rehabilitation specialists with a focus on applied biotechnology. Strokes cost the New Zealand health bill about $450 million a year. The Rose Centre’s deputy director Dr Phoebe Macrae says there is increasing need for novel and innovative treatments to reduce the

True

burden of strokes, such as mortality, pneumonia and dehydration. “Research has shown that Maori and Pasifika people in New Zealand have a much higher incidence of suffering a stroke than their European counterparts. This research also highlights that the average age of stroke is significantly younger in these populations, by an average of 10 to 15 years. Twenty-five percent of people who recover from their first stroke will have another one within five years. “At any point in time, there will be over 32,000 New Zealanders who have survived their initial stroke but are living with the disabilities arising from a stroke. These people require ongoing and intensive

rehabilitation to improve their quality of life. “Factors such as unhealthy diet, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking and lack of physical exercise will also result in a higher prevalence of stroke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and a common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. The incidence of stroke in New Zealand is high compared to other developed countries with over 9000 new stroke events each year and over 2500 deaths attributable to this condition. “At the university’s Rose Centre, we are focusing on addressing all aspects of poststroke rehabilitation. We want to develop and provide clinical services for stroke patients that meet patients’ clinical needs and also allow patients to contribute to research that will help others. We are looking to create bioengineering applications that will facilitate recovery by allowing patients greater access to intervention techniques.”

“At any point in time, there will be over 32,000 New Zealanders who have survived their initial stroke but are living with the disabilities arising from a stroke. These people require ongoing and intensive rehabilitation to improve their quality of life.
