$100m in rates: Do you get your money’s worth? Study shows what north-west residents are paying By Julia Evans THE FENDALTON, Waimairi and Harewood wards are putting $100 million into the city’s rates fund. That’s almost a fifth of the total $497 million the city council collected in rates for the 2016/17 year. But Fendalton-WaimairiHarewood Community Board deputy chairman Sam MacDonald says the $100 million doesn’t always match the level of service local ratepayers get. Mr MacDonald, an accountant, has done a financial exercise on the rates people in the wards pay. “I wanted to get it particularly in the lead up to the Long Term Plan so we can advocate for things like getting our roads fixed and getting the basics covered,” he said. Mr MacDonald said although
the wards put a “high” amount of money into the city council’s rates fund, residents aren’t always getting things like good roading, clean water and rubbish collected. “We can say this is how much we pay into the kitty so it should translate . . . service shouldn’t waver,” he said. On top of that, there are the larger projects such as the new Fendalton pump house or regenerating Bishopdale which also need to be lobbied for. “The essential point of local government is to deal with basic things like water, road repairs and collecting rubbish,” he said. “We’ve got to get the basics right and I don’t think we always are . . . there are always improvements that could be made,” he said. •Turn to page 8

Teen’s scholarship opens hotel doors
AN INTERESTING exercise on our front page today which Sam MacDonald spent some of his holidays on. The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board deputy chairman is an accountant by profession so he tampered with some figures over Christmas/New Year, the outcome of which is in today’s paper. The question is: Does he have a valid argument – are ratepayers in the Fendalton, Waimairi and Harewood wards getting their money’s worth from the high rates they pay? MacDonald is questioning whether they are and, as a result, he will be distributing the figures to community board members, who can use them when talking to interest groups. That will arm those groups with data if and when they lobby the city council for money to fix roads, and provide better services. – Barry Clarke

Boards eye traffic, youth issues By Julia Evans FROM FINISHING anchor projects, to getting the basics right and keeping rates down – community boards are set for a busy year. Nor’West News asked the Papanui-Innes and FendaltonWaimairi-Harewood community boards what the key issues are in 2018. Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman Ali Jones said its plans include a number of short, medium and longterm goals. “The board will be focusing on mitigating any negatives the growth in traffic . . . creates,” Ms Jones said. This year it will also be vying to get funding included for a youth recreation centre in the Long Term Plan, she said. It also wants to continue connecting to the local community through events like the garden and the edible garden awards. Papanui city councillor Mike Davidson said he was personally looking forward to seeing some positive community outcomes in his area. “Like the repair of the Redwood Plunket room being completed and this building being used by the community for

the community,” he said. Cr Davidson said although it is currently at an early stage, he is hoping to see the regeneration of the historic Papanui Bush in Bridgestone Reserve started. “With the Long Term Plan being adopted, I will be looking to secure funding for much needed outdoor youth recreational facilities in Papanui and Redwood over the next 10 years.” Fendalton-WaimairiHarewood Community Board chairman David Cartwright
Cartwright would like to see the annual general charge on city council rates reviewed and increased. “It’s about $80 or $90 at the moment . . . it doesn’t even include rubbish removal. The inequality needs to be reviewed,” he said. Harewood city councillor Aaron Keown said the plan for lights at Harewood, Breens and Gardiners Rds is at the top of his list. But that isn’t the only goal Cr Keown’s is shooting for. He said he will also lobby for rates not increasing more than inflation. “We’ve got to get spending under control. We’ve got these community facilities that are really expensive . . . and so many pools. It’s crazy, we need to rein it in,” he said. •HAVE YOUR SAY: What should community boards prioritise in the area? Email your views to julia.evans@ starmedia.kiwi
Aaron Keown
said most of the board’s objectives will come off the back of the long-term and annual plans. “It ranges from maintaining all of the standard projects to the bigger, chunkier end of the spectrum like developing Bishopdale Mall,” he said. But Mr Cartwright said, personally, he was particularly interested in focusing on savvy spending of city council funds. “Being responsible with council money has always been a concern of mine,” he said.

News Bill the Botanist leaves his garden Well known St Albans botanist Bill Sykes passed away on January 5. His perennial love of nature and adventure meant life was never quiet. Julia Evans reports.
LEGACY: Bill Sykes on his 90th birthday in October.
WILLIAM SYKES was born with a green thumb. Fondly called Bill the Botanist, the well-known St Albans resident passed away at Nurse Maude Hospice aged 90. But it was when he was at primary school in Suffolk, United Kingdom, that his life-long love of all things flora began during a competition to collect as many wild flowers and plants as possible. From the age of 16, he went on expeditions to the Himalayas in Nepal to study undiscovered plants and animals, visited the United States to study Californian redwoods, and went on a trip to the Kermadec Islands which had to be cut short due to a volcanic eruption. He published accounts of his adventures and discoveries in various journals and publications throughout his life. In 2005, he was awarded a New Zealand Order of Merit for services to botany. But one of his proudest moments was in 2016, when the latest of his books was published.

behind aged 90 In 1961, following an invitation to work with the botany division of the Department of Scientific Research at Lincoln from renown New Zealand botanist Eric Godley, Mr Sykes left the UK for New Zealand. In spite of retiring in the early 1990s, Mr Sykes continued to work as a research associate in the botany division and contributed to the New Zealand Grass Flora, 2000. He moved to St Albans in
1991. About two years later, he married Peggy Kelly, then three years on the pair co-founded the Packe Street Community Garden just down the road from their long-time home. Mr Sykes and his wife were made life members of the Packe Street Association in March, having spent countless hours pruning, weeding and tending the native plants. An afternoon tea was held in the garden to celebrate his 90th birthday in October.
Ms Kent said Mr Sykes’ funeral, held at John Rind Funeral Services in Richmond last Tuesday, was “absolute madness” with people packing in to pay their respects. Mr Sykes left behind a large and loving family, including son Julian, daughter Claire and granddaughter Amelia – as well as step-children Katrinka, Justin and Louise. His family, friends and botanical colleagues were very dear to him, Ms Kent said.

PLANS: An artist’s impression of the new toilet pavilion at St Albans Park which will be built as part of the park’s revamp.
Park upgrade to finally start By Julia Evans WORK IS set to start on repairing and upgrading St Albans Park. The $900,000 revamp of the park’s drainage and irrigation system, as well as remediation of the field playing surface, is scheduled to start this week. The upgrade comes on the back of ongoing frustration from St Albans residents who said the park and playground have been a cesspit of smelly brown water following the February 22, 2011, earthquake. “Conditions have deteriorated for the park since the earthquakes,” council operation manager for neighbourhood and sports parks Al Hardy told Nor’West News. The Papanui-Innes Community Board sent an apology to residents about the delay to repairs. A city council pamphlet said trucks will be entering the park regularly so it will remain closed
for the duration of the work, which is expected to be complete by July. “There will be heavy machinery operating during the day. They will be stripping the existing surface, installing drainage and irrigation, and installing a new playing surface,” the pamphlet said. There may be increased noise but it said dust would be kept to a minimum. The skate park and flying fox will remain open with portable toilets available for use as the toilet pavilion was pulled down at the end of last year. “There is also a new pavilion being erected under a separate contract. Work for this will run concurrently with the park upgrade,” the pamphlet said. Board chairwoman Ali Jones said the board worked hard last year to get the redevelopment of St Albans Park under way. “After delays that were disruptive and far too long,” she said.

Rehoming unwanted and With the SPCA and other organisations rehoming hundreds of animals this summer, reporter Emily O’Connell checks out some of the potential pets desperately in need of some love and attention PASCAL THE cat is looking for a new home. And if she gets one, the nineyear-old will become one of hundreds of cats rehomed by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Canterbury this summer. Pascal is an affectionate and loving animal, according to SPCA southern region general manager Barry Helem. But the furry feline has been without a home for two months. Mr Helem said Pascal was found lost in Ashburton and was taken to a vet clinic as she had an injured tongue and some dental

issues. She was collected by the SPCA ambulance and had a few teeth removed as well as other treatments to help her heal. Pascal then went to a foster home where her foster parents said she loved “rolling around, chilling out in front of the fan and sleeping on the pillows.”
Mr Helem said the perfect home for Pascal would be one with no young children, “so she can live out her golden years calmly being the centre of attention.” “She has two disclaimers – one regarding the teeth which she had removed and another
regarding a historic soft tissue injury to her right hip,” he said. Mr Helem said SPCA Canterbury has had a very high adoption rate during summer but also a very high influx of animals coming into its care. “Our adoptions for the November and December period

Pascal is one of about 20 cats SPCA Canterbury is currently trying to rehome. The organisation has 321 animals on-site at present and 139 animals in foster homes. Adoption fees for an adult cat like Pascal are $150, kittens $250, adult dogs $250, puppies $350 and rabbits $50. In a bid to continue rehoming animals, SPCA Canterbury has a Facebook page which profiles different animals in their care. The page has more than 22,000 followers. SPCA is a charity which helps protect animals that are sick, injured, lost, abused or simply abandoned. Every year, the 40 SPCA centres across the country receive more than 45,000 animals through their doors and 14,000 animal welfare complaints. •Visit https://www. facebook.com/ SPCACanterbury/ for more information on the animals available

CONSTRUCTION OF the $18.8 million expansion to Northlands Shopping Centre is under way. Work began yesterday, marking the start of the 10-month project that will see a new entertainment and dining precinct added to the Main North Rd mall. Called Langdons Quarter, it will include 12 food tenancies, plus two new external buildings expected to open in October. The new food precinct will be built under the existing cinema complex, with a new pedestrian entrance providing direct access to the south-western car park building, as well as the refurbishment of the existing bathrooms. The development will include the reconfiguration of the existing food court and improved pedestrian flow within the southern end of the centre. Centre manager Vicki Bain said: “The design of Langdons Quarter draws on international trends to provide a unique experience for our

Teen takes hotel scholarship AIMEE TAYLOR (right) has just booked a one-way ticket to Adelaide. The Papanui resident and former St Margaret’s College student was awarded a $28,000 scholarship for the International College of Hotel Management. Aimee is set to move to the college’s campus in South Australia in July to start the four-year programme, which leads to a Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of International Hotel Management. She was the only winner from New Zealand out of five scholarships awarded throughout Australasia. She undertook a written assignment and did a panel interview for the scholar-
ship. The college is the Asia-Pacific campus of the Swiss Hotel Association and Aimee said it
will give her a wider knowledge of the hotel industry. “The history of the association also interests me and it would be cool to be able to learn under one of the oldest associations in the world”, she said. The 18-year-old was born in Melbourne and said she has always felt a deep connection with Australia. The college programme will see Aimee taught in four academic semesters, complete 1500 hours of industry placement and learn a second language. The industry placement programme could take Aimee anywhere in Australia in her first year and anywhere in the world during her second year.

$100m in rates: What you get for your money •From page 1 Mr MacDonald says a focus will be making sure the level of service ratepayers receive from the city council matches the rates they are paying. He also doesn’t want rates to increase. “I expect rate increases to be at a minimum, we’re already putting in that $100 million,” he said. He said his figures can be used by the community board to provide context when talking to community groups and ratepayers or when lobbying the city council for funding.

CBHS won eight golds – which included a blistering fast time of 6min 13.42sec to win the men’s open eights – as well as three silver and three bronze medals. Rangi Ruru won six golds, with two of those coming in the women’s novice eights and i ntermediate eights, two silver and three bronze medals.

The centre is staffed with a team of professional educators and nurturers who are highly trained and passionate about creating happy experiences. The setting is warm and home-like in nature while the playground and indoor environment have been designed to allow children to safely explore and learn with confidence. This is supported by a strong curriculum designed for active and exciting play. With 10 spaces in their nursery, and 23 spaces in their preschool, the centre provides the complete early childhood service.

After School & Holiday Programme
HISTORY: The Papanui railway station was the starting point for Papanui Primary School pupils’ days out during World War 1.
Papanui pupils always loved summer Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams returns for the year with his monthly look into Papanui’s rich history. He writes about the adventures of Papanui Primary School pupils through the 1920s and 30s THE immediate post-World War 1 period was significant for Papanui Primary School. The Canterbury Education Board finally agreed that the original school, built in 1870 on the corner of the North and Winters Rds, was no longer fit for its purpose. In 1926, the move to a larger site, featuring modern buildings between Winters and Tuttons Rds (now Cranford St), was welcomed as a new beginning for the school – although one feature that did not change was the institution of the annual school picnic. The school committee was prepared to permit lessons to be suspended for a day for the event, which was usually held at a venue that entailed a train trip. Perhaps that experience was seen as an integral part of the annual treat. But another issue was the timing of the muchanticipated event. Perhaps the ideal date would have been in De-
cember in the last week of school when juvenile concentration span in standard lessons would have been naturally flagging as the long summer holidays approached. However, in the interwar period, the committee tended to favour February, March or April, possibly as the weather was seen to be more settled. In both 1925 and 1926, the chosen venue was Pearson Park, Oxford. The school committee minutes included quotes from the railways department for the return trip: Children’s fares were 1/6 (15 cents) teachers, 2 shillings (20 cents) and other adults 2/6 (25 cents). In 1927, the venue was Little River. The train was scheduled to leave Papanui at 9.15am. This would have been a long day for children (and staff) as the train did not leave for the return trip until 4.30pm. Later events were held in Ashburton and Amberley, although in 1934 the children had to be satisfied
with a walk to the Papanui Domain in Sawyers Arms Rd. Perhaps a sign of hard times in the depression of the early 1930s. A school committee minute from 1932 gives some idea of the activities involved in the annual picnic. Committee responsibilities were defined and assigned – for example, judges, recorders, handicappers, and the provision of milk, soft drink and lollies, a measuring tape, bell and sacks. In 1938, athletic events were not the only activity on offer, the Amberley baths were available for swimming and the pupils were then given free ice cream and soft drink to complement the healthier snack provided by local orchardist, Frank Sisson, who donated four cases of apples. •Reference: Transcription of the Papanui Primary School minutes sourced from the Mollie Chalken Papers.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Co-Q10 reduces all Centuries old folk remedy causes of mortality supports good health! by 50% Researchers were amazed with the results of how beneficial a natural nutrient Coenzyme- Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human body. Co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in the body’s cells that is essential for cell function, energy and survival. The Heart, Liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large amounts of Co-Q10 to function well. In a recent multi country double blind trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to protect against heart failure, 420 patients with severe heart failure were given CoQ10 or a placebo and then followed for two years. It was found to the amazement of the researchers the patients who received the Co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an adverse cardiovascular event or death compared to the placebo patients. Not only this but the patients on the CoQ10 had a 50% reduction in death not only from cardiovascular events but from all causes. According to lead study author Professor Mortensen this study is the first in over a decade to show a natural nutrient can reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10 should be added as a standard treatment for anyone with cardiovascular complaints. It is known that CoQ10 levels decrease in the heart muscle of patients with heart failure as severity worsens. Statin drugs
are used to treat many patients with cardiovascular problems but these drugs also reduce CoQ10 levels further in the body. Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body can be low energy and endurance, muscle pain, poor memory and concentration and poor heart function or heart failure. CoQ10 levels are known to decrease as we age and many researchers believe keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient may help prevent many chronic diseases including cancer. Co-Q10 is available as a natural supplement to support good health.

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health benefits. It is none other than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. Since the time of Hippocrates – the “Father of Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for its curative properties. In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he found that Vermonters who regularly consumed ACV and Honey had excellent health with many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even when well into their eighties. He also noted the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be remarkable with many patients reporting almost total relief after taking a course of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted calcium deposits and helped the body control calcium use. He also noted that Vermonters who consumed ACV and H around meal time had excellent blood pressure and circulation. The reason he found was that protein foods thickened the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly through the blood vessels and capillaries. This poor blood flow would reduce cellular health by limiting nutrients to the cells as well as waste elimination from the cells. To prevent cell damage the body naturally increases blood pressure but this puts more stress on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having ACV and H with meals will help prevent protein raising the blood
Apple Cider VinegAr - Powerful Natural Health Tonic ACV is a highly nutritious with all the goodness of apples (one of our most health-giving fruits) in a form that is readily accepted by the body. It promotes healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients & elimination of wastes. Detoxifying & purifying & supports the function of vital organs like the kidneys, bladder, liver & heart.

pressure. It also contributes to a feeling of greater well-being because the thinner blood circulates quickly and more easily through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular consumption of CV and H to be an excellent health tonic with numerous health attributes. ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the goodness of the apple in a form that is readily accepted by the body. Good health starts with good digestion and assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken before food will stimulate and promote healthy digestion and assimilation of vital nutrients for good health. A well-functioning digestive system helps prevent disease by neutralising any toxic substances that enter the body. It is important to note not all ACV is produced in the traditional way and results are likely to prove disappointing with these other vinegars. Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in Canterbury from Organic whole apples in the traditional way. It is double strength so you can use less.

T
his is a good indicator from our bodies, that the holiday routine was somewhat different. Perhaps you sit a lot for work and you were on the go or, you are normally more active and the holiday break was more sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay attention to these signals the easier it will be to deal with it. So what can you do to ward off pain and stiffness and boost your energy and alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises at your desk that will release tension from head to toe. They take only a few minutes. Set the alarm on your cell phone or computer to go off every hour to remind you it’s time to get up and stretch. Just stand up and sit down - no hands If you stand up and sit down (over and over) without using your hands it can be a challenge, do it while you’re on the phone; no one will know. Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders, lifting them high up to your ears. Hold. Release and drop. Repeat three times. Loosen the hands with air circles Clench both fists, stretching both hands
out in front of you. Make circles in the air, first in one direction, to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles. Shake out the hands. Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms
Stretch your left hand out in front of you, pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your right hand to increase the stretch, pushing your fingers down and toward the body. Be gentle do the same with the other hand. Now stretch your left hand out straight in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing skyward. Use your right hand to increase the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward your body. Do the same on the other side. Release the upper body with a torso twist Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right and grab the back of your chair with your right hand, and grab the arm of the chair with your left. With eyes level, use your grasp on the chair to help twist your torso around as far to the back of the room as possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes continue the stretch see how far around the room you can peer. Slowly come back to facing forward. Repeat on the other side. Do leg extensions Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself

Christchurch Girls
2018 Pathways at Linwood College Education is about the well-being of the whole person and how developmentally positive experiences enrich our students’ understanding of who they are and broaden their outlook. They nurture students’ classroom focus by contextualising their learning and sowing the seeds of positive ambition. Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed curriculum’. This means the school, students and families knowing:
Last year our school was 140 years old and in that 140 year history we have never doubted what we stand for. We know what we are. From our beginnings in 1877 we have only ever been a purpose built school for girls. When our school first opened on that September day in 1877 who could have envisaged 140 years later: three site moves, a number of earthquakes, 13 principals and a fabulous new building? In that time we have seen the move from ink pens to ball points, from blackboards to whiteboards to laptops. It makes you wonder what the future holds in store and how can you prepare for what may or may not be? At Christchurch Girls’ High School we work hard to build capacity in our students so that they are able to embrace the future with confidence. Students strive to pursue personal excellence on the sporting field, in cultural activities, through community service and
academically. They do so with energy and enthusiasm, supported by an experienced, professional and caring staff. We are traditional in aspects such as uniform, courtesy and the high expectations we have of our students but innovative in the wide range of opportunities we provide both inside and outside the classroom. Hence our vision: Embrace Tradition, Embrace Innovation, Embrace Excellence. Education takes us from darkness into light.

It will also include our learning commons, Whare, student cafe and wellness resources, staffroom, and administration. We all know of course that a school is much more than its buildings, and a huge amount of work has gone into adapting how we cause learning. The Manaiakalani pedagogy (Learn Create Share), and the use of digital devices (Chromebooks) is having a huge effect on student achievement, with achievement surpassing growth and improvement nationally by a significant margin. We ask all students to come to school equipped with a Chromebook, apart from your time, there is little better you can invest in your child’s education than the purchase of that Chromebook. Junior students are increasingly approaching their learning via real world contexts (whether it’s the arts or business, or project based learning designed to improve our community in real ways). This is contributing to improved engagement and improved learning. We are a very values based school, and our students repeatedly show that they have a heart for our values, for their community, and for what is right. What an amazing year we are going to have.

Tony visited the school to share the process of making a movie from developing the idea, writing the script, casting the actors and adding the special effects.

The children from the Ruru and Kuaka teams then got to sit inside the sleigh that was used in the actual movie. Even Principal John Bockett got in on the action by sitting inside the sleigh and making it go faster than the speed of light by pressing the red button on the dashboard of the sleigh!

Shirley Intermediate When Shirley Intermediate School’s two swimming pools were earthquake damaged the SIS Board of Trustees, having found no likely help sources, undertook costly repairs. Now, after six summers their pupils continue to reap the benefits. In addition to swimming almost daily, pupils can also join the endurance club. As few SIS pupils attend swim clubs, It is significant whenever the 1km continuous swimming certificate is awarded. In addition to hosting Banks Avenue and Shirley Primary schools (who can use the
15m pool), and Shirley Boys High School sports groups, the school has hosted the St Albans Swimming Club – formerly based at the now-closed Edgeware Pool for several years. Principal, Geoff Siave said the pools provide achievement opportunities and fun - for pupils, local schools, and the community. “Learning to swim is achievable, and we’’re also building community connections.” Children need to see connections between school and real life.

This absolute gem on the upper slopes of Clifton Hill will captivate you on every level. The expansive 4-bedroom home could fit in proudly anywhere in the world, but just happens to grace Christchurch, with breath-taking views across the city, Pegasus Bay and the Southern Alps. The house was designed by Architect Jonty Rout of Sheppard & Rout. Rout looked after every detail, including quality, scale and light at every turn, making this huge home an unparalleled offering in the hills of Christchurch. Upon entry into the home, luxury surrounds you combined with the connection to the views beyond. Gaggenau appliances, granite benchtop and a butler’s pantry are just the start, the kitchen continuous with a casual sitting and dining area, completing a space that sets the tone for the rest of the property. The 350m2 house spreads across 3 levels, and embodies the openness of its Tuscan influences, with high ceilings, tiled and wooden floors, and large outdoor balconies. The main living level is a dramatic and elegant space, with a formal dining area and an enormous light filled lounge offering impressive 180- degree views, and opens out to a
sun filled balcony. A guest bedroom has separate external access and a connecting bathroom of the highest standard. Storage throughout has been well catered for with separate spaces designed to allow you to keep the home in immaculate order. The lower level comprises another large living area, a luxurious bathroom with built-in laundry, and three bedrooms including the master. The master bedroom has impressive proportions, and joins to a massive and uniquely beautiful private bathroom, complete with bathtub, Italian wall tiles, and a large window linking to the garden and mountains beyond. Open Homes: Wednesdays 6.00pm – 6.45pm, Saturdays and Sundays 1:00 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. Auction Thursday 1 February 12:00 noon at Harcourts House, 98 Moorhouse Ave, ChCh.
