Tuesday August 16 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

THe gloves are off for October’s local body elections with candidates for council and the community boards now known.

Sitting eastern suburbs councillors David East (Coastal) and Glenn Livingstone (Burwood) are up against two and one opponent respectively.

Cr East faces challenges from Jo Kane and Dean Lester, while Cr Livingstone has Cruize Erueti to contend with. There is room for only one councillor in each ward.

Let the contest begin!

On page 3 we detail the latest development in the bid to curb the explosion of fast food outlets around the Linwood Ave, Aldwins Rd, Buckleys Rd area.

It’s a great location for a business with so much foot and vehicle traffic, but for the eating habits of school kids in the area, that’s another question all together.

News Fast food solution sought

By Tom Doudney A CAMPAIGN to crack down on the proliferation of fast food outlets has found favour with city councillors but concerns were raised over how fast food could be defined.

Representatives from the Linwood community, including schools and health professionals, made a deputation to the city council on Thursday asking for support to limit the ability of fast food outlets to set up around schools and low income areas.

City councillors requested that staff further investigate options for possible legislative measures as well as other measures that could be taken to encourage healthy eating and report back as soon as possible.

All city councillors who spoke on the matter expressed support for doing something to tackle the issue. However, some including Raf Manji questioned how fast food could be officially defined.

“I can see how you could come up with a planning proposal where you could limit the size of food outlets near a school and that kind of stuff,” Cr Manji said.

Tuesday August 16 2016

PACKED: The number of fast food outlets in Linwood has caused concern in the community.

“But I think you are delving into something that is quite unsolvable in terms of defining what healthy food is.”

City councillor Yani Johanson said the city council had a proud tradition of leading the way on championing solutions for such difficult issues.

“We should continue to do that as we are being asked to today,” Cr Johanson said.

“This is difficult, and I think that point has been well made by everyone, but actually it is

also very simple – it’s whether or not we wish to stand up for our community, for our children, for the health of our city by taking a more regulatory approach to these issues.”

Linwood Medical Centre medical director Jane Heatherington, who was part of the group making the deputation, said the medical centre had seen the effect of fast food on its patients over the 35 years that it had been part of the community.

“In Linwood we have got a higher proportion of obese and overweight children than the rest of Christchurch,” she said.

“We have obese children who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea, we see the poor diet affects their learning and their mood, we see parents with arthritis and diabetes and liver damage and then we see their grandparents with heart disease, renal failure, amputations, kidney failure and early deaths.”

One man and his 1000 dreams

By Roy Sinclair NEIL ANDREWS leads the way down precarious steps to a seemingly underground room.

He flicks on a light switch.

I am wowed by a high viaduct spanning a realistic gorge. My eyes are led to tall forests, tree ferns galore and a painted backdrop depicting a stormy sky.

“This is what I do,” he says.

“It is not what I do in my spare time.

“I mow the lawns in my spare time.”

The room was purpose-built for the 9mm (scale 9mm to the foot) layout representative of a one-time railway in Northland.

In his garage he is working on a second, portable, layout. This is a narrow-gauge railway based on French townscapes.

Model railways is an interest he could not be without.

“When I met my partner, Helen, I told her it is me and my trains. They are inseparable.

“She accepted that which was great.”

He describes railway modelling “as a thousand dreams held together by a hundred unfinished jobs. In other words, a degree of chaos.”

“Part of the fascination is

HAND-MADE: Model builder, Neil Andrews and his miniature creation of early last century Northland. ​ delving into history to discover how it all would have looked like early last century,” Mr Andrews said.

He always liked to do things with his hands. He enjoyed art at school – and building things.

Even when he had clockwork

railways he was always cutting up cardboard boxes to make buildings.

He recalls scoring designs on pieces of wood to make boats.

Railways became another part of it.

Getting into more serious rail-

way modelling during the late 1950s, there was not much stuff available and if it was he didn’t have the money.

If he wanted it he made it.

“My mother used to take me to the railway station. I remember being in my pushchair watching

the Lyttelton trains come and go.

“Then at primary school I was quite capable of making an Ecclass electric locomotive with the distinctive air compressor tanks across the front. Everyone could recognise it.”

Later, any new gadget at his Canterbury University laboratory would be first examined to how it would be useful on the model railway.

“Then we would work out how it was intended to be used.”

His workplace became known as “the model train laboratory.”

That’s what people who visited talked about.

He travelled to model railroad conventions in the United States, becoming a member of the R.G.S. East Hon3 club.

He visited huge model railway shows in Cologne and Miniature Wonderland in Hamburg.

“In Germany a model railway is like a dishwasher. Everyone has to have one. And most offerings are German-made. They are excellent.

“On one European trip Helen and I were forced off the road by Tour de France officials.

“We had to divert into a backwater countryside.

Your one donation can help save up to 3 people’s lives – what bettter way to spend an hour of your time? We’ll even treat you to chocolate biscuits and a cuppa afterwards.

Heke Family Story

Te Pou Whakawhirinaki o Aotearoa

When Joseph Heke (Ngapuhi/Ngati Hineuru) started dating his girlfriend Melissa (Ngati Maniapoto) in 2007, it not only led him on a path towards becoming a husband and father, but also put him on a path to saving lives.

Melissa convinced him to become a blood donor early on in their relationship as she had been a regular donor since donating at high school. She had seen the process at a young age whilst going with her Mum to regularly donate blood and knew that when she was old enough that she wanted to save lives in this way as well. After becoming a blood donor, Joseph was approached by the nurses during one of his donations about joining the New Zealand Bone Marrow Donor Registry (NZBMDR). He signed up after learning that Māori donors were sought after for the Registry. For more information go to www.bonemarrow. org.nz.

Joseph and his wife Melissa firmly believe “If you can donate, give”, and between them have now saved over 100 lives in New Zealand, along with one person overseas, with their generous donations.

The couple have three children who will one day hopefully follow in their parents’ footsteps to become blood donors, and join NZBMDR too!

“Seeing her mum donate was where it all started for Mel and that’s why we take our kids to see it happen now, so when they grow up, they’ll know it saves lives and that it’s not painful and scary.” –Joseph Heke You can book your appointment today by phoning 0800 GIVE BLOOD (0800 448 325) or online www.nzblood.co.nz Check out our new app for iPhone and Android to book your appointment, download the NEW NZ blood Services Donor App from the App store or Google Play today!

BUILDING: A train layout under construction and a G-scale layout at last year’s Christchurch Model Train Show.

“There we found towns of beautiful buildings with terracotta roofs. We had discovered the romance of the French countryside.

“Anything French is different.

If you see a French car you know it is French because it looks nothing like anything else. It is the same with railways.

“Their narrow gauge railways were basically portable. They could be picked up and laid beside a road.

“That really intrigued me. Narrow gauge secondary lines were introduced to boost the network

of French railways.’’

The unplanned detour instigated his French narrow gauge layout.

“One develops a modeller’s mind.

“A modeller will typically think how it would look in miniature?”

He talks about Hamburg’s mind-boggling Miniature Wonderland.

“It’s absolutely intriguing. It’s a huge collection that is pushing the boundaries of technology and inspiring manufacturers to pick up on it with new products.”

“The model aircraft must represent the peak of model

building.’’

“The model trains have been running for so long the track is wearing out.”

The closest we have in Christchurch is the annual big model train Show, this year being held over the weekend of October 1 and 2.

The venue is Pioneer Stadium in Lyttelton St, Spreydon. It is the show’s 25th anniversary so promises to be special.

Mr Andrews was an instigator of the event, starting a model train show at Hagley Community College and then expanding to

the Horticultural Society hall.

Then, the Christchurch Model Railway Exhibition Society was formed and took over. Its growth took it to Pioneer Stadium where it has been ever since. At its peak the show attracted 10,000 people over the two days.

“It’s about its optimum size.

“Considering our modest Christchurch population we do a pretty good job,” he said.

“We will have beginners’ train sets and heaps of demonstrations.

Our People

Singer-songwriter has Singer-songwriter Asti-Loren Newman might only be 18, but she has already travelled the world and attended the same school as Amy Winehouse. Annabelle Dick talked to Asti-Loren about her new album, Psychedelic Rose, and getting barred from the school choir thanks to a questionable comment about her teacher’s facial hair.

So as a singer-songwriter, when did you get into music?

I’ve always had a massive passion for music. When I was about 11-years-old, I joined the Christchurch City Chorus, which is like a 150-person barbershop. We went to New York and sung when I was 13, which was awesome. I worked with Nolan from the Christchurch School of Rock in Sumner and would perform at the Headless Mexican. I’d also do busking along the esplanade.

I tried

TALENTED: Asti-Loren busked her way through Europe at 17-years-old.

to join the school choir but got turned down in year 6, 7 and 8, because apparently I couldn’t sing in tune, but I think it was because I told my music teacher she had a moustache in front of the whole class. I told her my mum is a beauty therapist and

she should go to her and I think she held that against me. It was a pretty rude thing for me to say, but I was only nine-years-old at the time, so I didn’t know any better. I was pretty upset about it so I went to the principal and told them, ‘I’m setting up my own barbershop; I’m getting my own teacher to come and teach it and I’m going to teach it as well’ and I had more people auditioning for it than the school choir.

I’ve always been the kind of person that, if things don’t go my way, I’m going to make it happen for myself.

You attended the same music school as Amy Winehouse – how did that come about?

When the February 2011 earthquake happened, I was off school, our house was quite damaged and my mum lost her business as well. I watched the film Fame one day and I knew I wanted to go to stage school.

So without telling my parents, I researched the best stage schools across the United States and the United Kingdom and I randomly chose one to apply for.

I heard

MENTOR: Asti-Loren mentoring Selwyn House Girls School children last year.

back four days later from the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School with a letter of acceptance. Here’s 14-year-old me going, ‘oh no, what have I done’, so I had to tell my parents and they were really supportive. I don’t know many parents who would let their 14-year-old daughter go to the UK by themselves.

What was it like attending the school?

It was awesome. I was the first person they’d ever had from Australia/New Zealand. There was three days a week of dance, tap, jazz singing, theatre singing, pop singing, all sorts really. The teachers were great and really young, too. One of my teachers was a back-up dancer for Justin Bieber and he’d also won Britain’s Got Talent. I studied there for two years and then I got offered a development contract with a label in Soho and that’s how I met my producer Chris Hall who helped me create my album

Psychedelic Rose. I got to record in the same vocal booth as Pink Floyd.

How did it feel living in London by yourself as a 14-yearold? That must’ve been a pretty scary experience?

It wasn’t too scary . . . but being so young and moving to another country was a bit of a culture shock. I had an apartment just down from school and I made friends really fast. There was always people I knew around me like my uncle in Sweden and my cousin came through when he was on his O.E. I wasn’t really naughty I always had so much to do. I would go to the London Central City Library and read books on Woodstock. I went to an Audrey Hepburn exhibition and I’d often go to the East London markets at the end of the day and they’d give me free donuts. They knew when I was coming and give me all this free food and I’d walk home with all my groceries.

Thanks Canterbury for your continued support

the world at her feet And you travelled a bit from there?

I’m really spontaneous so I decided to do a busking tour around Europe. So I contacted Interrail and Eurail to see if it was something they were interested in – they bought it. So they gave us a 12-day rail pass and we went from London to Stockholm to Copenhagen down to Warsaw in Poland and then to Prague then Munich, Salzburg, Venice, Asti, Monte Carlo, Nice and then Amsterdam all in 12 days with my best friend who’s a New Zealand windsurfer. While this was happening I was only 17. I have about 50,000 fans online so I’d post each day were I was and I’d have all these people turn up – I didn’t really expect it at all. I made about €200 (euro) busking in each city.

So tell me about your music and your new album Psychedelic Rock which you recently released?

The music I’ve established as my brand is more electronic.

This album is influenced by the 60s and 70s Americana, Woodstock and that whole

hippy movement. I love the era. I watched Jim Carroll’s The Basketball Diaries and read a novel he wrote . . . it’s really raw.

This album draws a lot from that.

This album is a concept album I’ve written myself. It goes from dark to light as I have this thing called synaesthesia where I see music and colour so it helps a lot with my writing, it’s a bit of a blessing. I wrote the album’s track names before I wrote the songs. I’ve written a novel to go along with the album and eventually I want to make it into a short film. People can interpret my music any way they want.

They’re not pop songs – it’s a lot more than that. I don’t just sit back and let other people do things for me, I’m a really involved person in my career so I do a lot of promoting myself, I keep up my social media following and I edit my own videos.

Do you have any influences that you draw on when creating your sound?

I listen to Lana del Rey, The xx, Haim, Taylor Swift, Marina and the Diamonds, Fleetwood Mac,

PERFORMING: Asti-Loren’s new album Psychedelic Rose was released on Saturday.

The Zombies, Dire Straits and Pink Floyd – a real variety really.

I’ve taken different influences from the greats of each genre and incorporated them into my work – whether it’s lyrically, musically or the way I present myself.

Tell me a bit about growing up – what’s you’re family like?

I grew up in a house on the top of Scarborough Hill. I went to Selwyn House and then St Andrew’s College. My mother owns a salon Yazu Hair Salon. She’s incredibly talented. She’s been on the L’Oreal creative team and a part of New Zealand Fashion Week. She was actually teaching hairdressing in Asia while she was eight months pregnant with me which was pretty crazy.

She’s heavily driven . . . I think that’s where I get it from. My mum and my dad met at 15 and started the business together. He was going to be a mechanic, but he’s technically a hairdresser by trade. They separated when I was nine so he went to the Carib-

bean to buy a boat and sailed it back to New Zealand to set up a charter business. So, when I was younger, I grew up in a boat. I lived on it in Diamond Harbour and the Lyttelton marina. I used to go to school in a dingy. We had five dalmatian dogs and we’d be in a five-metre dingy with one of our dogs at the front and my brother and I in our posh private school uniforms. We’d sail from Diamond Harbour to Lyttelton and we’d arrive at school soaked.

My little brother Lucca is 16 and he’s the total opposite of me. He’s blue-eyed, blonde and tall, while I’m 1.49m and brunette. We were both named after towns in Italy.

He’s really into skiing, inventing and downhill mountain biking.

He made a flame thrower the other day. I have a weird family.

It sounds like you’ve had an insanely interesting upbringing! What else do you love outside of music?

I love going to the beach and I love skiing. I did ski racing from

about seven-years-old at Mt Hutt. We used to go skiing every single weekend in winter from when I was seven to 12. I did it competitively and placed third in the South Island when I was younger.

Where to next for you? Where do you want to end up?

I’m going to the US to film a music video for my album next month, then London for a month, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam after that, and then Bali all before the end of the year.

Eventually I want to be able to tour with my albums. I’ve started on my second album which is going to be completely different with a different vibe. To be a musician as a full time job is the goal. I’m always aiming for the top, I’m just that kind of person. I’ve always written for bigger things because if you don’t think you’re going to be big or don’t have that in your mind, how are you ever going to get there?

Your Local Views Keep Chch fluoride-free Former personal trainer John Verd was born in Christchurch’s sister city Seattle, United States, and moved to New Zealand in January last year. He writes this week’s opinion piece on fluoridation I love Christchurch water!

It’s one of the many exceptional things we’d heard about the Garden City before moving here.

So I was naturally concerned to learn about proposed changes to our water system.

I discovered at an early age how location could affect water quality.

When my grand-mother moved to the Cascade Mountains near Seattle, she said that the tap water there had a ”sweetness” to it.

She was absolutely right - there was a huge difference between our aquifers in Spokane and her spring water in Snoqualmie.

It wasn’t until much later that I paid any attention to what is actually in our water.

I’d heard people protest against fluoridation, but wrote them off

as paranoid conspiracy theorists.

It wasn’t until becoming a personal trainer that I actually questioned the practice.

The research was eye opening.

Our water is being treated with an industrial waste product called hydrofluorosilicic acid.

This chemical is a by-product of the phosphate fertiliser industry.

Although classified as hazardous waste, it is barrelled up and sold, unrefined, to communities across the country.

This is the fluoride in public water.

Former vice president and senior chemist at the United States Environmental Protection Agency headquarters, Dr William Hirzy, had this to say about it: “If this stuff gets out into the air, it’s a pollutant; if it gets into the river, it’s a pollutant; if it gets into the lake, it’s a pollutant; but if it goes straight into your drinking water system, it’s not a

pollutant. That’s amazing.”

Hydrofluorosilicic acid is far different from the sodium fluoride, which is not for ingestion, commonly used in toothpaste.

This begs the question: Why would they use this dangerous form of fluoride? A likely reason is cost.

Because it costs corporations many thousands of dollars per tonne to neutralise and dispose of it, they instead sell it to municipalities as a ‘product’.

Chemist and world-renowned fluoride researcher Dr Paul Connett lectured in Christchurch in July 2016.

He listed 50 human studies finding that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ. Christchurch has managed to remain fluoride free for the last 30 years, but new legislation may allow for fluoridation by 2018 unless the public demands a place at the table in this decision.

And that’s what is keeping me up at night.

Do you, like John Verd, stay awake at night worried about fluoridation? Should we allow fluoridation of our water? Share your views with us. Email andrew. king@starmedia.kiwi

FLAME FILES

Give yourself the best chance of escape

By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer

BY RECENT standards the past week has been remarkably quiet.

We’ve still been to plenty of false alarms, ambulance assistance calls and car crashes but fires, apart from the inevitable kitchen cooking fires (two this week), have been few in number.

So let’s have a look at those things that can make our lives safer from fire that are easy to arrange in any home.

Firstly, and by far most importantly, is the use of smoke alarms.

I grew up in the days before widespread plastics and foams.

So when I was a kid it took about 10min for any fire inside a house to go from ignition to flashover (the state where the entire contents of a room are on fire).

Now, with the proliferation of oil-based products (those plastics and foams) in homes the time to flashover is reduced to 3min.

That’s where smoke alarms, recommended in every bedroom, hallway and living room,

are vital to give us the earliest possible warning of fire so we can escape well before that 3min is up.

Because if you don’t, you’re probably in real trouble.

After your own escape, making sure everyone else in the house is aware, is the first priority before having a meeting place where all can be accounted for, and phoning 111 by cellphone or neighbour’s landline.

Along with smoke alarms these are the basics of a home escape plan.

If we all had one I’d investigate far fewer fatal fires.

That would be fantastic!

News Old league club dumping ground

By Andrew King THE HEAD of a sheep and household waste has been cleared away from the back of the former Linwood rugby league clubrooms in Phillipstown.

The building, located between Olliviers Rd and Matheson Rd, has been empty since the February 22, 2011, earthquake and has been a dumping ground creating what residents say, is a health risk to surrounding properties.

Linwood rugby league spokesman Mike O’Halloran said he was disgusted to find the huge amount of rubbish at the former clubrooms.

“I organised someone to come and take the rubbish away,” he said.

A local YMCA group dragged most of the rubbish into a big pile before it was taken away last week.

While a lot of the rubbish has been removed a resident said there was still a lot more buried in the shrubs and bushes that surround the back car park – a badly damaged boat is still in the middle of the car park also.

It is that rubbish, he believes, is attracting rats and mice whose

populations were growing to “plague-like levels.”

City council principal adviser of regulatory compliance Fiona Proudfoot said it is currently investigating a complaint about the property from June in relation to the pest problem.

“The council does investigate and take action where necessary in situations where rubbish has been dumped that may attract or harbour vermin,” she said.

However, because the property

is in private ownership she said it is the owners who are responsible for the property.

Linwood league sold the property to an investor with the finalisation of that deal expected in the next few weeks.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Should more be done to prevent further dumping on unused properties in the city? Share your views with us. Email andrew.king@starmedia.kiwi

UNSIGHTLY: Rubbish has been cleared from the site of the former league clubrooms but a resident says there is still more buried in the bushes.

GETTING MECHANICAL

UPGRADE: The Shirley Hawks clubrooms are set for an upgrade following a $10,000 win ​

League club gets funds for upgrade A GROUNDSWELL of support from the local community has helped the Shirley Hawks Rugby League Club win a $10,000 cash injection to fix up their club.

The Woodstock Rugby League Club fix-up competition asked league fans to nominate their local club via Facebook with a short description on why they deserved an upgrade.

Shirley was the Canterbury recipient of the national competition.

Club supporter Kim McDiarmid was one of the

first to nominate the Hawks, describing the club as going above and beyond for their players and fans.

Home to five children’s teams, three senior teams and a women’s team, club manager Bernie Katene says the Shirley Hawks are not the largest rugby league club in the area, but the players and supporters have a lot of heart and the club want to do right by them.

The club plans to use the winning funds to upgrade the club building, including the bar, which had been neglected

in favour of other improvements.

“It’s a big ask for funding to upgrade the bar, because there’s always something else that needs to be done,” Mr Katene said.

As a community-focused club, having attractive clubrooms is important.

“We rely on the community to survive. Having a decent place to gather and socialise keeps interest in the team and in our events,” MrKatene said.

•Shirley BHS makes UC final, p18

FIGURING IT OUT: Shirley Intermediate students Alicia McLean (left) and Jayda Thurston demonstrate what they have learned so far in their ‘how things work’ lessons. Students have been learning about levers as part of their introduction to structures and mechanisms, demonstrating how the pivot position changes the value of effort or movement. They investigated a wide range of machines and mechanisms which complements their technology classes starting with the levers and pivot puppets shown here. The students progress from this work to making an automata and investigating pneumatics. An automata is like a mechanical toy which can be animated through the use of cams and linkages.

EQC UPDATE

13

KEEPING YOU INFORMED | AUGUST 2016

The changing shape of EQC Mr Simpson says the reduction in staff numbers had been signalled to staff earlier this year, with more detail given at EQC staff update sessions in July.

He was grateful for the professionalism of EQC staff; continuing to achieve key milestones for Canterbury customers during a time of change and personal challenge.

By the end of the year, EQC’s target is to have:

The Earthquake Commission’s work in Canterbury is entering a new phase as it settles the final earthquake claims for the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, says EQC Chief Executive, Ian Simpson.

EQC began consultation with its staff this week on a proposed smaller structure for 2017.

“Over the past few months we’ve been looking closely at what remains to be done and we will be carefully matching the workforce to the work that still needs completing.

“As we make changes over the next few months, one thing isn’t changing: we will retain a presence in Canterbury until we have met our obligations to our customers.

The proposal is for an organisation with 383 positions from January 2017,” Mr Simpson said.

As part of this, EQC has developed a proposal on how EQC will be organised in 2017 to implement its work in Canterbury, while continuing its national work.”

The proposals for the new structure impact the 868 EQC people on fixed term employment agreements to December 2016 or on contracts for service.

• completed all of the approximately 67,900 managed home repairs.

• settled all of the approximately 99,000 residential building claims scheduled for first-time cash settlements.

• settled all of the more than 187,000 contents claims.

• settled green zone land claims for about 73,000 properties.

• resolved 75% of the remedial requests we had on our books as at 30 June 2016 • cash settled 90% of the 3,118 drainage claims we had received by 30 June 2016.

• cash settled the 13,985 damage claims received following the series of quakes in Canterbury between February and June 2016.

Mr Simpson says that what remains to be done in 2017,is to continue resolving remedial requests on properties where EQC has managed a repair, and continue resolving drainage enquiries.

“The level of work left is of a much smaller scale than the Canterbury Home Repair

Programme was designed for. We need a smaller, fit-for-purpose approach to finish the work,” Mr Simpson said.

“By 2017 we will have a new approach for handling the remaining work, including remedial requests. We’re working on the details of this now, including talking to Fletcher EQR. We hope we will have a clearer picture around September,” Mr Simpson said.

As at 31 July 2016: • there were 238 substantive repairs left, which we aim to have resolved by the end of the year.

• there were 335 secondary repairs (such as garages and chimneys) to do.

There is also a range of administrative and financial tasks to be completed.

“I know it has not been an easy journey for some EQC Canterbury customers. We didn’t get everything right. I’m the first to admit that. But EQC has worked hard to learn from its mistakes and improve how we work not just for Canterbury, but for all New Zealand,” Mr Simpson said.

Outside of Canterbury, EQC needs to be ready to respond to any future event and continues negotiating and managing natural disaster reinsurance for the country.

EQC will also continue settling the 5,000 to 8,000 natural disaster claims it receives on average every year, funding research to a tune of about $16 million annually, and educating the public about natural hazards and how to mitigate these.

Remedial requests

Drainage

EQC has streamlined its process for handling new remedial requests from customers received from 1 August, 2016.

As at June 30 2016, EQC had 3,118 drainage damage enquiries to be resolved. To ensure timely settlement of these claims, EQC has introduced a panel of licenced drain layers to identify earthquake damage.

EQC Chief Executive, Ian Simpson, says the new process aims for faster resolution with customers having the opportunity to provide information upfront and state their preference for a cash settlement or a managed repair where remedial work is required.

The changes have been introduced after positive customer feedback on the process used to manage claims from the February 2016 earthquake, where customers had the opportunity to submit more information upfront to enable quicker turnaround.

Many customers going through the February 2016 claims management process are positive or very positive about their experience. EQC is now using this approach for new remedial requests, and customers will be asked to send in information such as photographs and builders’ quotes.

On settlement, customers get a detailed assessment of the earthquake damage, a documented repair strategy, and the costing for the repair. EQC expects to resolve 90% of the drainage claims, lodged by 30 June, in 2016.

settled customers who aren’t confident in sourcing their own contractors,” he says.

Although cash settlement will provide a quicker resolution, it may not suit everyone, Mr Simpson says.

Of the 5,720 open remedial requests, EQC has identified approximately 1,500 properties that cannot be resolved through a managed repair before 2017. The new process, while largely designed for new remedial requests, will be available to these customers and EQC will be making contact with them from late August to ask if they prefer a cash settlement or managed repair during 2017.

“So if a customer prefers that a contractor do the work, then EQC will arrange for that to happen. But EQC’s Community Contact Team and independent customer advocate groups will be available to support any cash-

Customers wanting to discuss remedial requests can contact EQC by phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243) or email info@eqc.govt.nz

EQC is concentrating on resolving as many drainage claims as possible that were received by June, this year.

The claims received after that date will be resolved next year.

SBHS marches back into final

By Gordon Findlater SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School will make their second UC Championship grand final appearance in as many year’s after a 17-14 win over Christ’s College at Upper.

They will meet Christchurch Boys’ High School in Saturday’s final at Rugby Park, CBHS defeated Nelson College 10-3 in the other semi-final.

Shirley have made a habit of pulling off upsets in knockout games. It’s the second year in a row they have qualified for the semi-finals in fourth position and defeated the competition’s top qualifier. Last year they upset CBHS 25-17 at the same stage.

“Last year was our first grand final appearance in 12 years, I’m just pleased it hasn’t taken another 12 years to get back there,” said Shirley Boys’ High School rugby administrator John Fox. On a heavy field the big Shirley forwards revelled early.

In a polished and aggressive opening Shirley scored two converted tries to take a 14-0 lead.

Tighthead prop Darius Fidow barged over in the third minute, loosehead Jim Tuipulotu then got Shirley’s second less than 10min later.

“We were quietly confident about Saturday. Knowing the weather wasn’t going to be great we picked a big forward pack to

ONE STEP AWAY: Shirley will meet Christchurch BHS in Saturday’s UC Championship final. The two teams met earlier in the month, CBHS won 19-13. ​

At a glance: Shirley BHS: 17 (Darius Fidow, Jim Tuipulotu tries; Taine JacobsLawson 2 con; Jackson Taylor 1 pen) Christ’s College: 14 (Dallas McLeod try; Ngane Punivai 3 pen) try and bully them a bit. The fact our two props got the tries was vindication of that,” said Fox. Christ’s got back into the game before half-time through two Ngani Punivai penalties. The gap was narrowed even further on the stroke of 30min when Dallas McLeod ripped the ball from a maul on the Shirley 22, before crossing the line to make it 11-14.

In the 62nd-minute Jackson Taylor kicked a penalty from 25m out to nudge Shirley ahead, a lead they would hang onto by the skin of their teeth. Christ’s

College thought they had crossed the line to steal a win on the stroke of full-time, but they were denied by the video referee after five minutes of deliberation.

“It’s a mixed feeling because we don’t have a TMO (video referee) every game of the season.

It’s almost unfair to have a TMO decide the game when all season long it’s been the ref making the call,” said Fox. The decision went their way, but Shirley will now turn attention to a CBHS side they narrowly lost to just over a week ago, 13-19.

“Our guys have a lot of belief, they felt that one got away from them,” says Fox. Shirley will be hope to have more luck than 12 months ago when they lost to St Bede’s 13-32 in the grand final.

A large chunk of this year’s squad were part of that match.

Fox believes that having a dozen players that have experienced a grand final could give them the slight edge they need.

They’ll need every bit of an advantage they can get against CBHS after an impressive match against Nelson in the rain.

Improvisation earns chef gold title

By Gabrielle Stuart BLAKE HAINES of Richmond beat chefs from around the country to take the National Commis Chef of the Year title this month, in spite of missing a crucial ingredient.

The young chef, who works at Chillingworth Road restaurant in Redwood, was setting out his equipment and ingredients at the competition in Auckland when he realised his salt was missing.

In the rush to catch his flight from Christchurch at 5am that morning he had left it sitting on the bench at home, he said.

The chefs competing had to bring all their own equipment and ingredients to the competition from their seasonings to their pots and pans – which made for some funny looks when going through bag checks at the airport, he said.

It was too late to buy any more, so he just had to work with what he had.

But he went on to win gold for his main, an Akaroa Salmon duo half pan-fried and half wrapped in nori seaweed, and cooked in plenty of chicken stock to make up for the missing seasoning.

Fellow Chillingworth Road chef Eric Lim also took home a gold award from the competition for his entree, and was named runner up Chef of the Year.

Winning a national title was incredibly satisfying, Mr Haines said.

He had dreamed of becoming a chef since he was about eight years old, cooking meals for his family – then things like spaghetti bolognese or chocolate chip biscuits, he said.

“My family were good critics, although my mum never appreciated the mess in the kitchen,” he said.

At about 14 he got an afterschool job washing dishes for a local restaurant, and from there he was hooked, he said.

He worked for a while in

Dunedin and at the Hermitage Hotel at Mount Cook, before moving to Christchurch with his girlfriend early this year.

He knew Chillingworth Road owner and chef Darren Wright through his work on the Culinary Olympics NZ squad, and said he wanted the chance to work with him.

His main role at the restaurant is as pastry chef, which he said was something he had always enjoyed.

“For customers the first thing they try is the bread and the last is the dessert, so it either ruins or makes someone’s evening.

Hopefully, they are the two things they remember most,” he said.

After seeing Blake’s work in the competitions, Olympic squad member and Christchurch chef Mark Sycamore asked him to travel to Greece with him in September this year to compete at the WACS WorldChefs Congress as his commis chef.

IN THE KITCHEN: Chillingworth Road chef Blake Haines won the National Commis Chef of the Year title this year, in spite of having to compete without any salt.

A NEW Cares Appliances premises in Ferrymead has attracted a number of complaints from residents over its bright green colour scheme.

The whiteware appliance store has copped criticism before their new building has even opened on Ferry Rd. It is set to open in early September.

Cares Appliances owner Matthew Carpenter said it was the first time he had received complaints, in spite of his business being in the city for 10 years.

“I had a complaint that said the colour was terrible and disgusting. I’ve also had comments from third parties who’d seen the colour and were put off by it,” Mr Carpenter said.

The new premises drew the following criticism via text: “It looks disgusting.

GLOBAL LEADERS IN FIRST AID TRAINING Christchurch Course Dates 2016 Venue: 32 Birmingham Drive, Middleton

Ensuring a safe work place Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

this humorous, lyrical rollercoaster of rhyme, rhythm, and refrain. Come along with family and friends, and enjoy the sheer fun of performing poetic lines, out loud. All ages welcome.

No bookings required but a caregiver is required. For more information, get in touch on 941 5310.

hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace.

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

HEALTH & BEAUTY A game changer in the fight against Parkinson’s Disease If you have Parkinson’s disease, you cannot afford to underestimate the benefits of exercise. Being sedentary is one of the fastest ways to see your symptoms get worse. To be the best you can be, consider a revolutionary Parkinson’s programme, PD Warrior, run by Muscle People Physiotherapy.

“Exercise needs to be a front line defence for people with Parkinson’s disease. PD Warrior aims to re-wire the brain to allow everyday movements and activities to be performed with greater ease. Just like your muscles benefit from cross- training, your brain also benefits from being challenged and surprised.” Melissa McConaghy, co-founder of PD Warrior and Specialist Neurological Physiotherapist.

Purposeful movement can combat the loss of motor control seen in Parkinson’s disease.

PD Warrior combines a high effort, intensive work-out with a challenging combination of movements and mental strategy. It is designed for people with early stage or mild Parkinson’s disease with the aim of slowing down the progress of the disease.

“PD Warrior is loads of fun and can get very loud with plenty of variety to keep people engaged. you get to connect with like-minded people who want to fight their symptoms,” says Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People Physiotherapy.

Neil, from Rangiora, has been attending the PD Warrior programme and says; “The exaggerated movement keeps the body moving rather than seizing up”. Neil keeps up the exercises at home during the week and

says “that’s how you get the most benefit out of it.” He has been playing more golf and is able to work a couple of days a week.

Muscle People has helped clients achieve some significant milestones through PD Warrior. Those who come to the PD Warrior circuit style programme at the city clinic each week report feeling more confident in their movements and are able to move more freely and get back into life.

The first step in the PD Warrior programme is an assessment at Muscle People Physiotherapy. for more information or to book your assessment telephone the friendly team at Muscle People on 360 3606.”

PD Warrior not only re-trains your brain, it also helps you to get •

Your life back – get back to doing the things you love.

•

•

Twenty percent of people affected

by Parkinson’s are of working age (15-64 years).

•

HOME & HEATING

Get rid of dampness in your house

noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells.

Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable.

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands

the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our new Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes.

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more information.

of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed.

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline.

It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

Tackle the skifield road in an Alltrack

By Ross Kiddie STAR MEDIA, the company which I am employed by, embraces advertising creativity.

We strive for layout and design which captures reader and viewer interest. That being the case, I was mystified when Volkswagen New Zealand’s recent television advertising campaign was withdrawn when some viewers complained to the Broadcasting Standards Authority.

The commercial surrounded Volkswagen’s Passat Alltrack, and was a light-hearted take involving a person falling over backwards on a slippery boat launching ramp. That ad often had me smiling when I was preparing dinner and watching the news. I was disappointed – world gone mad – I thought.

That aside, the Alltrack is an interesting variation on the popular mid-size wagon and as its name suggests it has four-wheeldrive and suspension raised 27mm from the standard Passat.

Volkswagen is no stranger to this concept, they have long had models which have just that little bit extra in terms of ability. The Alltrack is a cross between an everyday vehicle and one which will take you off-road, not so much in the serious stuff, but it

will get you out of a sticky, low grip situation, hence the advertisement. And on that subject, it also gets a 2.2-tonne tow rating, so hauling that large boat is a real probability.

Under the bonnet sits a 2-litre, turbocharged diesel engine. The four-cylinder, twin camshaft unit is rated with 150kW and 400Nm, the latter punching out its power all of the way from 1900rpm to 3300rpm; consequently, it is a strong, energetic unit which works through a dual clutch, direct shift gearbox.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ALLTRACK: Grip for slippery surfaces.

The six-speeder allows the engine to work freely, between the 6.6l/100km (43mpg) figure difference, grip is well promoted the two, drive is unimpeded, showing constantly on the dash through Continental sport tyres the mid-range diesel surge is panel readout.

I can see the Alltrack being used as winter sport recreational transport such as tackling the skifield access road. It’s a vehicle that does all the things a typical sport utility vehicle is capable of, yet it is packaged in a more traditional style.

The entire in-cabin area is manufactured for comfort and is decked out with all the features you’d expect from a $57,990 car.

I’ve long embraced the traditional station wagon, especially those from Europe.

The Alltrack takes that concept one step forward and I’m pleased that it has such a strong foothold globally (no pun intended). I’ll be watching with interest how well it is received here.

Local musician, Dizzy Height is proud to announce the completion of his latest recording, Passing Shadows.

“It's safe to say that this album is very, very different and deals with a topic not many are game to talk about let alone record an album about, and that is the subject of death,” says Dizzy Height. “Having worked as an Embalmer/Funeral Director for 9 years I have seen a lot of death. The inspiration for the album is based on my many experiences.”

Consisting of nine tracks, the recording is said to be a very thought provoking and inspiring CD. Written, performed, and produced by Dizzy Height, the tracks feature a unique blend of classically inspired pieces infused with traditional rock guitar.

From the opening title track 'Passing Shadows' to the final track 'After Life' the album has a positive theme which encompasses all the things that most people have thought about at some stage.
