Friends on and off the track (From left to right) – Zoe Crisp, Lulu Inglis and Milly Eastgate returned to school after the holidays and got straight into athletics day. The Elmwood Normal pupils ran, jumped high and long, threw the shot put and got involved in other activities last week. The pupils were excited they could compete in front of the many parents and grandparents who turned up to enjoy the day.
Bid to open liquor store opposed „„ By Andrew King FEARS A proposed liquor store in Harewood could encourage an increase of people drinking in public parks has community leaders and residents rallying to stop it. The proposed liquor store would be built on the corner of Harewood Rd and Trafford St but resident Aaron Bree said it will bring more problems than it is worth. “We have a number of parks near it, it is right in the heart
of a residential area and there are schools all around it. I have spoken to some in the neighbourhood and we don’t want it,� he said. There are four schools within 2km and seven parks within a 1.5km radius. Nunweek Park, 500m from the proposed site, is a known hangout for people drinking and Mr Bree fears that will only get worse with another outlet. He said if it had been there when he was looking to buy his house he would have looked else-
where, so he is starting a petition to block the licence from being granted. The off-licence that has been applied for would be for 2a Trafford St to sell alcohol between the hours of 7am-10pm, Monday to Sunday. Police said a decision on whether they will oppose it will be made next week. Aaron Keown, who was recently elected as a city councillor in the Harewood Ward, said the area is already “well serviced� when it comes to alcohol stores.
“We should be giving the power of a veto to the residents and the community boards to stop these stores going into areas that clearly don’t need them,� he said. He said giving the boards “some teeth� could be written into the Local Alcohol Plan. Breens Intermediate principal Nikki Clarke said she was surprised to hear about a proposal for a liquor licence in the area. “Given there are five licensed premises already within
1km of this address I will be very interested to watch the community response around this proposal,� she said. Linda Chen, who was recently elected onto the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board, lives close to Nunweek Park and said she was against the idea as soon as she heard it.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK I’m afraid I’m going to doing a bit of rant referring to “back in the day”. It appears that residents are going to try and stop a bottle shop going in on the corner of Harewood Rd and Trafford St (front page). I commend them because, back in the day folks, we survived not having booze in every supermarket and at every suburban shopping area. Alcohol is far more accessible that it used to be and I need not bend your ear about how harmful it can be. It will be interesting to see who wins the war. Fantastic to the heritage items such as gargoyles being reincorporated into St Andrew’s College new $10 million Centennial Chapel. The chapel was earthquake-damaged and services have been held in its gymnasium since. The new chapel that will have 700 seats and great acoustics for musical performances. – Shelley Robinson

Pigeon problem continues
By Andrew King RESIDENTS IN Northwood are at their wits’ end with problematic pigeons pooping on their properties. In November, Nor’West News reported that Giles Goulden and Suzanne Walker asked the city council if there was anything it could do about their neighbour’s 80 pigeons in Janal Pl – which had been defecating on their outdoor furniture, deck and laundry. But the owner of the property with the pigeons said there are no laws around having too many and the neighbours need to “mind their own business.” Mr Goulden and Ms Walker moved into their Northwood home in 2014 when the neighbour had only a few birds in a small coop. The city council worked with the owner of the pigeons and their neighbours and negotiated most of the birds to be moved elsewhere. The negotiation took place in April with ongoing contact until June when it was confirmed the numbers had reduced significantly. But Ms Walker said some still remain and now the numbers
are starting to grow. “They have removed two coops but a third remains and while pigeon numbers had dropped from about 80 to 20, they are slowly on the rise again,” she said. Recently, another neighbour contacted Ms Walker and said she was at “breaking point” and about to phone the city council and “just scream.” She said it was “completely unacceptable that our kids can no longer play outside” due to the mess left behind by the birds. The owner of the pigeons, who did not want to be named, said they still had some on the property, but the majority were elsewhere. “They are the worst neighbour’s I have ever had,” he said. He said she had been complaining about everything, even a bit of rubbish on the side of the road that had blown out of his bin. “We don’t even answer the door when (Ms Walker) turns up, sometimes it is really late at night,” he said. Ms Walker confirmed she had been over once late at night to return some rubbish she

had found from his bins on the street. City council head of regulatory compliance Tracey Weston confirmed there is no specific rules or bylaws regarding the keeping of pigeons in the city.

In Brief CONSULTATION OPEN The city council has opened consultation on safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists on Sawyers Arms Rd, between Glasnevin Dr and Cotswold Ave. It proposes to install a traffic signal-controlled pedestrian crossing. To improve safety for cyclists, cycle lanes are proposed on both sides of the road within the project area. As part of the safety improvements, the bus stop on the south-side of Sawyers Arms Rd will be relocated east of the pedestrian crossing outside 295 and 297 Sawyers Arms Rd, which will result in the loss of three parking spaces. Visit the city council’s ‘have your say’ page to make a submission. ROUNDABOUT REMOVED The upgrade of the Westminster St, Roosevelt Ave and Courtenay St intersection has been completed and the roads around it are now open. SCIRT removed the roundabout and replaced it with an intersection. The SCIRT project took about three months. FIRST COUNCIL MEETING The inaugural city council meeting will be held on Thursday at 4pm. Recently elected city councillors Mike Davidson (Papanui), Aaron Keown (Harewood), Raf Manji (Waimairi), Pauline Cotter (Innes) and Jamie Gough (Fendalton) will all be sworn into office.

Your Local Views Keown’s time to act Each week we will be asking city councillors in the north-west to give us their views on issues in their wards. This week, newly elected Harewood city councillor Aaron Keown talks about being elected and what he intends to do over the next three years It’s great to be back at the council table during this important time in the history of Christchurch and I’m honoured to be the first councillor for the newly established Harewood Ward. The city has voted and all those who now sit at the council table have been put there by those who have chosen to take up their democratic right and vote. I campaigned hard on the issue of getting traffic lights at the intersection on Harewood/ Breens/Gardiners Rds, keeping rates locked to the rate of inflation and cleaning up our waterways. Now it’s time to deliver on my promises, which can be easier said than done, so I was excited when I met newly elected community board
PRIORITY: Aaron Keown campaigned on getting traffic lights at the intersection of Harewood, Breens and Gardiners Rds. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN member Linda Chen (Harewood Ward) and the first thing she said to me was “Now lets get on and get those lights in.” This is the sort of ‘can do’ attitude we need in Christchurch right now. I was even more buoyed by a bright future for Christchurch when we met as a new city council the day after the election, and all members laid out their visions for Christchurch over the next three years and it turns out we are all on the same page. As mayor, Lianne Dalziel looked to encourage everyone to support each other in getting the job done. I feel that Christchurch is about to see some real progress
over the next three years. I respect the wishes of those who voted and I look forward to working with and supporting those who were lucky enough to be chosen. •Do you have any issues you would like to bring to attention in Harewood? Share them with us. Email andrew.king@starmedia. kiwi

Stay in the kitchen when cooking By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer HOW LONG does it take for 10 litres or more of water in a large saucepan to boil away and then the pan to melt from the heat (in this case a gas cooker) and set fire to the building? Well in the case of a house in Stanley St, Sydenham, last Friday night it took eight hours. That’s the time between the occupant forgetting the pan was on and leaving and the place being fully involved in fire. Five fire trucks and a command unit attended and, as you would expect, damage was severe. This has to be counted as a cooking fire. There were two more reported this week. One of them involved someone being taken to hospital with smoke inhalation. It also appears this victim may have had two or three drinks too many. There are some classic recipes for disaster in the above incidents. The first is relatively common but doesn’t always mean a house is completely destroyed. The second is also quite common, particularly amongst our

There was a smile to be had after Woolston’s crew were sent to Truscotts Rd up the Heathcote Valley on Monday to rescue some ducklings from a drain. A thorough search failed to find them.

ST ANDREW’S College much-loved gargoyles will return when its new $10 million Centennial Chapel opens on October 25. Since the February 2011 earthquakes the school has held chapel services in its gymnasium after losing its Memorial Chapel to damage. Heritage items salvaged from the original chapel have been incorporated into the new design, including the stained glass windows, original doors, stonework and the much-loved gargoyles. The bell is back hanging from a new bell tower, which has been placed in the exact location of the original tower. The chapel was designed by award-winning architect Patrick Clifford of Architectus, it seats 700 and has state-of-the-art acoustics making it a desirable venue for musical performances. Performances from the kapa haka group, choir, and singers Mark Tavendale and Joshua Pike will welcome the community and the school to their new space. The building will be officially opened by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church Right Reverend Andrew Norton. Architectus won a design competition to deliver the project and the chapel’s unique design has at-

Bid to beat the bumps No airport access from Wairakei Rd ACCESS TO the airport from Wairakei Rd has been permanently closed as part of the Russley Rd upgrade project. The New Zealand Transport Agency closed the road on Thursday night. The change at Wairakei Rd is necessary for safety, given the proximity of the intersection to the Russley Rd and Memorial Ave airport interchange lanes. Motorists will still be able to exit Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd from the east, heading towards the Memorial Ave intersection. Motorists on Russley Rd heading south towards the airport
will also be able to turn left onto Wairakei Rd. There will be no direct access to the airport precinct area and Orchard Rd from Wairakei Rd. The Harewood Rd roundabout is now completed and the underpass shared path for cyclists and pedestrians is completed and is in use. Removing traffic islands and the roundabout at the Wairakei Rd intersection with Russley Rd is likely to take place at weekends and off-peak hours in October. The roundabout is likely to be reduced to one lane during this time.
PARTS OF Bealey Ave will be fixed this summer as a major project in city council’s $176 million, city-wide road resealing programme. The 10-year road resealing programme is part of a wider city council strategy of ongoing repairs and maintenance to roads, underground pipes and footpaths. A number of key city roads are scheduled to be smoothed and resealed this financial year, including Bealey Ave from Papanui Rd to Barbadoes St on the north side and Colombo St to Barbadoes St on the south. City council’s services general manager David Adamson said it has prepared a programme of road, footpath and pipe repairs to follow the work of SCIRT. Funding has been allocated for the work and will be carried out over coming years starting in early 2017. “SCIRT has done a fantastic job to finish the rebuild work it was tasked with . . . now the city council is ready to pick up the mantle and carry out the remaining work as part of our ongoing maintenance renewal programmes.”
REPAIR NEEDED: A number of key city roads are scheduled to be smoothed and resealed, including Bealey Ave from Papanui Rd to Barbadoes St on the north side and Colombo St to Barbadoes St on the south. The road resealing is part of the city council’s $1 billion, 10year total roading programme across the city which includes the Accessible City, Sumner Lyttelton Corridor and Major Cycleways projects. The budget includes $15.6 million for footpath repairs, which were not generally included in SCIRT’s programme.

Childcare centre opening Pupils set salmon
By Andrew King A NEW childhood centre will open on Wairakei Rd beside a primary school. The Little Wonders Early Childhood Centre will open its doors in June 2017 and will work with its neighbour, Wairakei School, to provide a pathway for pupils. Managing director Ben Hurst said the first Christchurch centre has been some time coming. “The centre we are constructing is designed to be a leader in early childhood care provision in New Zealand and we look forward to sharing this with the local community,” he said. It will be initially licensed for 100 children, employ more than 25 full-time staff and have five separate, age specific classrooms. “As someone who has spent a considerable part of my life here [Christchurch], I couldn’t be more excited,” Mr Hurst said. Wairakei School principal Shane Buckner said it was great to develop a relationship which will see both sites work together on a number of projects in the future. Mr Hurst said they will “embed” themselves in the

“Our child care centres provide excellent facilities, quality educational equipment and programmes, and wellqualified and caring teaching staff,” he said.
SCIRT programme on the home straight SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls is almost complete and we’re aiming to finish construction in December. The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged infrastructure after SCIRT.

By Meena Amso ST MARGARET’S College pupils braved the rain on Wednesday to release salmon, they had cared for over the past few months, into the Avon River. They let the slippery creatures loose beside the Carlton Mill footbridge. It took a number of months to get the fish strong enough to survive in the wild, but the pupils were up to the challenge. Teacher Paulette Double said they all had a turn at feeding the tiny fish daily which they had been looking after from the time they were eggs. “The leader of each week looks after them, it’s her responsibility to feed them and make sure that they are fine and the tank is nice and clean. “When they hatch … they are still the egg and they have got a little head and little tail and they survive in the egg sac for a very long time,” she said. Fish and Game initiative coordinator Peter Robinson said pupils got to understand how the local ecosystem worked. “Salmon are pretty cool fish to raise and of course they have been part of the fabric of Can-

Mr Robinson said the pupils got to raise the salmon in the purpose-built tank and learnt a lot about the importance of clean water. “These kids certainly learn about the fish in the tank and the need for clean water because you can lose some if the water quality is not right,” he said. Ms Double said although it was sad to see the tiny creatures go, the pupils were ready to say goodbye.

She spoke to Caitlin Miles about her roving childhood and writing her memoirs Can you tell me about The Little Drummer Boy? I was approached to write something for the church in November last year that could be ready for Christmas. I sat on it for a while wondering what I could write and Evelyn Hille said to me why not write something on The Little Drummer Boy and so that’s what I did. How long have you belonged to the Opawa Community Church? I’ve lived in Opawa for about eight and half years and belonged to the church for at least six and half I think. How long have you been writing? I have been writing for about 30 years now, children’s books and poems mostly. What made you want to be a writer? I’ve always wanted to write. I hated poetry. I was always interested in reading. We didn’t have libraries in the one-room schools so I didn’t get my first book until
I was eight. It was Peter Pan – I loved that book, my grand-kids have it now. When I was growing up I used to tell my brothers stories to get them to do things for me when I didn’t want to. How many siblings do you have? I have two younger brothers. Did you grow up in Christchurch? No I didn’t. We moved roughly 15 times so it’s hard to pinpoint where I grew up. I was born in Westport, though. Why did you move so often? My father worked in sawmills, so we moved around a lot. We were in a lot of small towns that only had one-classroom schools. Most of them had basically the same text books throughout, so I would read a couple of chapters ahead before starting at a new school and the teachers would think I was really clever until they caught up to the chapter I was on. Were you a bit cheeky in

been that bad! Just a little cheeky. Was it hard moving from school to school? It wasn’t so bad when I was young. I do remember this one
boy used to ride a white horse to school and every day my brother and I would have to run home because he would chase us on his horse and get it to nip at us. When I turned 11, I started to realise that my family were considered low on the social class because our dad worked in the sawmill. My dad left school at 14-and-a-half but he was very resilient. That was young to leave school. It wasn’t that uncommon back then. My parents were young when they had me. My mum was 17 and my dad was 18. Mum had all three of us before she was 21. We kind of grew up with our parents, they were like older siblings. Well, they were parents first but you know. It was great. You see I have a lot to write about for my memoirs. How will you write everything from your memory? I have kept journals for the last 30 or 40 years, I use them to write stories and poems too. I can reflect on what people were wearing during the time. How they wore their hair, things like that. I write about what I know so I recall on my memories a lot which is what I’m doing for my memoirs.

to rebuild community church Did you end up settling anywhere for a while? No. Even after we got married, we kept moving around. We used to buy houses and do them up before we sold them on. So we were moving all around the North Island. Then in 1987, we heard of a wee cottage in a place called Blackball and I said, as long as I don’t have to use a long drop, I don’t mind and it had an indoor toilet so we bought it. I had never heard of Blackball in my life and we just packed up and went there. I hadn’t been in the South Island since I was nine and my husband had never been so it was pretty big. We bought the house for $10,000 – you wouldn’t dream of that now. Did you start writing when you lived there? Yes. My husband decided to retire when we moved there so he was 56. I use to have a room in the house which looked out onto the mountains where I would go to write. That was my special spot. We had our children by that stage but they were all grown up. I would just shut myself off and Hec would keep supporting me. Were there times when you wanted to give up on writing? I was 48 when I wrote my first

poem called Stolen Virginity. I went to this group where people read out their poems and had them criticised by other writers. These were respected and widely published writers and I was sitting there wondering why I was there and what I was doing. I got up and read it out and came home saying to my husband there is no way I am ever going back there, I’m not writing anymore, and he managed to
convince me it wasn’t that bad so I went back the next month and it was the best thing I ever did. For every acceptance letter I got for a piece, I got about 10 rejections. So it was pretty common for me to say I’m not doing this anymore and chuck it all in the bin. And Hec, my husband, would pull it all out again and convince me to keep writing. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be talking to you today.
He was always my rock. Your husband seems like a big part of your motivation, how did you two meet? We were doing high jump and that was very different then compared to what it is now. We used to jump and fall into a pit of sawdust. So anyway, I was doing high jump and I stopped just short of the pit and tore a whole load of ligaments in my knee. I needed surgery but it was more

risky back then. I had wanted to be in the Air Force but that wasn’t likely and, after that, it certainly wasn’t going to happen. So I ended up moving 800 miles (1287km) away to live with my Grandmother to work as a secretary – I was 16 at the time. Hec was working in the garage and he was 23 so it worked out. What have been some of your highlights? I wrote this poem called The Miner’s Widow and I got a letter from a man who had picked up a copy and he said he had read it crying because it was the tale of his mum. That was really touching. You received a New Zealand Order of Merit? Yes, that was a real shock and an honour to receive – I couldn’t believe it. I read the letter and wondered what I was receiving it for. I never dreamed I would get one. I just wished my dad could have been there to see it. How often do you write each day? I’m not sure how many a day, but about 15 hours a week now. I’ve taken a bit of a step back from how much I used to do but I still work away on my laptop.

By Andrew King WINNING A regional leadership award was not enough for one Christchurch Girls’ High School student, she won a national award as well. Pieta McAleer-Harding won the Ministry of Youth Development regional award and New Zealand national award of excellence for student leadership after she was nominated by her fellow competitors. The Cashmere teenager was part of the Christchurch Girls’ and Boys’ High combined stage challenge team who presented their entry, You Shouldn’t Put A Price On Humanity, in May. “I felt really honoured to be given the opportunity and recognised as a leader,” she said. Miss McAleer-Harding has two older sisters who she followed to Christchurch Girls’, one is in retail and the other is studying. She said she has to thank her parents, in particular her father. “My dad is amazing he helped me through the music, costumes, and the set and my mum supports me in anything I do. They are both amazing,” she said. The year 13 student will head to Victoria University next year to study architecture and said the award will not hurt her chances of getting in.

School event to engage families MAIREHAU HIGH hosted more than 110 people at a significant whanau and families evening in the school hall. The Building On Success focus team of teachers, led by Angela Marshall, designed, consulted about, and prepared the evening as part of their work in engaging our families, and building our relationships with them. The focus is to improve communications with whanau and families, as they work to meet the learning, cultural, and other needs of the students. The particular focus for this event was on strengthening bonds with Maori and Pacific communities, including Cook Islands, Samoan, Tongan and Fijian Indian families. The evening began with a formal welcome to everyone from deputy principal Mark Bell and then an introduction

to our student leaders for the evening, Kavita Pillay, Anahera Koopu, Phoenix Neilson, and Sebastian Anae-Ah Sue. These young leaders ran the evening with confidence and style, introducing items and
guest speakers, presenting karakia (prayer) and orders of service for a three-course meal and providing acknowledgements at the end. The guests, former Mairehau High student and teacher at
Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Whanau Tahi Henare Te Aika and pacific liaison officer at Canterbury University Alana Batcheler, spoke about their own learning journeys as Maori and Pasifika respectively, and encouraged our students to set lofty but attainable goals. A number of our students and their families contributed with musical items. Families spoke with humility and appreciation about the school’s genuine efforts to connect with them. The hope now is for the school to have an evening of this scale every two years in order to support the learning aspirations of Maori and Pacific youth.

CBHS wins on tour by Gordon Findlater CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High School had an ideal preparation for the cricket season with a two-week trip to Australia during the school holidays. The school’s first XI and a development team, made up of the second and third XI squads, played six games each over the space of 13 days in New South Wales. The tour has taken place every second year for the past 14 years. Both teams won all of their games against quality Sydney secondary school teams, which included The King’s School, St Ignatius Riverview, Shore Grammar School and Newington College. “Some of the grounds we played on were first class material. The conditions were something we wouldn’t be able to replicate at home at this time of year,” said master in charge of cricket Matt Parr. They were also given some special tutelage from former Australian international cricketer Jason Krejza. The 33-year-old right arm off-break bowler spent time with the two teams, putting them through their paces before some of their matches
ON TOUR: The CBHS first XI pose for a photo with Shore Grammar School after their 18 run victory. in Sydney. Back at home, the first XI began their campaign over the weekend with two wins. They defeated their own second XI in the opening round of the Christchurch first XI one day competition last Saturday. They scored 214 in the first innings and then bowled out the second XI for just 57 in a one-sided affair. On Sunday, they played St Bede’s in the regional semi-final of the National Secondary School Boys’ First XI Cup (formerly the
Gillette Cup). They bowled St Bede’s out for 104 and then reached the target with relative ease to win by six wickets. Ben Hartland, son of former Canterbury and New Zealand international cricketer Blair Hartland, top scored with a 50 to help his team reach victory. CBHS will now play St Andrew’s in the regional final in November. The winner will take part in the final week-long tournament in Lincoln in December.

Get the latest summer look Annabelle Dick checks out spring and summer trends THEY WORKED at school, but will they work in the office? Culottes have made a heroic comeback over the past year and they’re not going away anytime soon. From Kendall Jenner to Victoria Beckham, everybody seems to be rocking the schoolyard trend. While switching your skinny jeans to culottes may seem like a bit of a stretch, these wide-legged cropped pants are pretty easy to pull off when worn right. Once you own a pair, you’ll find they’re practically interchangeable with your favourite black denims. If your culottes are plain, steer towards something more playful up top to really balance out your look. And if your culottes are the star of the show, keep your top half neutral. Pair plain culottes with a crisp
blouse and a pair of mules for a work-ready look. If you’re looking to integrate cropped pants into your everyday wardrobe, culottes will go perfectly with a playful top like seen on the beautiful Olivia Culpo. But it’s not sweater weather any longer so it’s time to pull out the old faithfuls lurking in the back of your wardrobe for another season, or head to the shops for a wardrobe rejuvenation. Here are some other looks you should get into, just in time for the warmer weather. Blue and white stripes: Picture it. It’s 30deg C and you’re lounging sea-side in the French Riviera. Your blue and white striped maxi dress flows freely in the breeze as you look ready to board your own private yacht. Blue and white stripes is one way to look relaxed and effortlessly chic at the same time. This season is all about the stripes. Pleated skirt: A spin on an old classic. Add a hint of sophistication by trading in your pencil skirts for a nice pleated number. Pair with a set of sneakers to dress it down and you’ll look oh

10 diet tips backed by science
EACH AND every day there are headlines screaming the benefits of various diet and exercise regimes. Go Paleo, cut the carbs, fast occasionally or do a juice cleanse are just a few of the more recent diet trends to do the rounds. But when it comes to what the evidence shows are sustainable ways to lose weight and keep it off, the results can be a little sparse when it comes to proving the benefits of these regimes long term. Here are some of the strategies that science shows do work when it comes to long term weight loss success. 1 Eat less at night for weight loss While it is often debated by health professionals, there is growing evidence to show that eating less at night, or at least having relatively long periods overnight without food is beneficial when it comes to weight loss. A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that healthy men who restricted their calorie intake between the hours of 7pm and 6am consumed more than 200 fewer calories per day. The moral of the story, eat for fewer hours each day to support
calorie control and weight loss. 2. Eat like the Italians Of all the dietary regimes sprouted, few, if any have the scientific evidence base that supports disease prevention and longevity the way the Mediterranean diet does. Packed full of fresh fruit, vegetables and plenty of good fats thanks to lashings of olive oil, nuts and avocado, not only is your heart likely to be healthier eating this way, but your risk of developing a number of other diseases. 3 Watch your liquid calories Few foods are directly linked to weight gain the way soft drinks, juices and other sources of nonnutritive liquid calories are. High sugar liquids deposit fat in the liver more readily than other foods and are easily overconsumed. Any time you see sugar in a liquid form, you are best to avoid it. 4 Concentrate on eating Studies have repeatedly shown the benefits of mindful eating, including fewer total calories consumed, increased satiety and less calories consumed at the next meal. This means it is time to ditch lunch in front of the computer for
a few minutes and instead focus on what you are eating. 5 Focus on fibre Another old school dietary approach that many of us continue to ignore is getting enough fibre. Many of us are failing to reach the recommended intake thanks to an inadequate consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. Instead, we are over indulging in more processed carbs, such as white bread, white rice and pasta. Adults should aim for 30g of dietary fibre each day through 2-3 cups salad and vegetables, a couple of pieces of fruit and wholegrains like corn, brown rice,
quinoa and legumes. 6 Ditch the diet drinks While diet soft drinks may appear to be a healthier option, and while they may contain no added sugar, they remain an exceptionally sweet food and one that is linked to increased hunger, sweet cravings and hormonal issues. For this reason, consuming them occasionally rather than thinking they are a good swap for regular soft drink is the key. 7 Sleep more The more you sleep, the fewer hours there are to eat. When it comes to chronic sleep deprivation, getting less than five hours
a night of shut eye is linked to increased body weight likely due to hormonal imbalances which can be impacted by lack of sleep. 8 Be consistent No diet needs to be perfect to get good results. Data from the US Weight Control Registry – which tracks the progress of more than 5000 Americans who have lost more than 15kg and kept it off – has shown that consistency is the key when it comes to weight control. 9 Keep moving Exercise is great but even more important is the need to keep active. The biggest shift in modern life is that we find ourselves sitting down for many hours each day. In turn this means we need to clock up some serious steps in an attempt to counter act these long periods of inactivity. 10 Get enough protein Diets higher in protein have been shown to help regulate appetite, blood glucose levels and heart disease risk factors. As a general rule of thumb, teaming each meal with a combo of slowly digested carbs such as wholegrains or fruit with a protein rich food is an easy dietary mantra. Try tuna on crackers, Greek yoghurt and fruit.

CONTINUING EDUCATION KIDSTUFF
Pasifika Trades Training leads to new career for Charity Receiving a Pasifika Trades Training scholarship has been a game-changer for Charity Ierome. After completing a 12week Essential Civil Skills course at Ara Institute of Canterbury for free, she now has a clear career path and a new outlook. “The biggest thing it’s done for me is build up my confidence. Before I felt like nobody and now I know that I can achieve and what I want to do in the future,” she says. Charity used to work in the butchery at Pak n Save, but knew it wasn’t what she wanted to do long-term. Her Dad found out about the Pasifika Trades Training scholarship through Reverend Fitifiti Lautua, a mentor for the programme. With so many opportunities in Canterbury, Charity says that trades training was a good career move and it made financial sense. “It was a chance for me to do something for myself and make a better living for my family. My Nana was my inspiration. I wanted to make sure she was well looked after back in Samoa,” she says. Studying for 12 weeks full-time was a big commitment for Charity, who also continued to work full-time. However, the backing of her tutor and classmates helped her to succeed. “My tutor had experienced the kind of difference that a qualification can make in your life and he was a real role model. My class became my second family,” she says.
The course was exactly what Charity needed to get into the industry. It included the core practical skills and certifications that employers look for, and provided support to enter the workforce. “The most valuable thing I learned was how to get work-ready. I was taught how to approach an interview and what to put in my CV. We also had potential employers come to talk to us,” she says. Just two weeks after completing her qualification, Charity was offered a job at City Care. She is now a Traffic Management Site Supervisor, wants to work towards a degree and has her sights set on a management role. “It’s like I’m on a totally different planet now. Studying has changed who I am and it has changed my family’s future,” she says.

Cramping pain in my leg when I try to walk Intermittent Claudication
“This is different from “night-cramps” Ietje van Stolk, (physiotherapist at Physical Sense and the centre for Senior Well-being) explains. This kind of cramping (sometimes called “window -shopping legs”) is triggered by normal exertion of the leg muscles and is typically caused by obstruction of the arteries. Sufferers have to find themselves a regular excuse to stop for a while to allow the blood flow to reach the cramped up muscles. The official name for this condition is Intermittent Claudication. Claudication is pain and/or cramping in the lower leg due to inadequate blood flow to the muscles. The pain usually causes the person to limp. The word “claudication” comes from the Latin “claudicare” meaning to limp. Claudication typically is felt while walking, and subsides with rest. It is commonly referred to as “intermittent” claudication because it comes and goes with exertion and rest. In severe claudication, the pain is also felt at rest. It is a painful condition that really “cramps people’s lifestyle”. The pain free walking distance tends to get shorter as the condition progresses. If you suffer from this condition it is crucial to understand that the body actually finds a way to increase the blood flow to the legs IF THE DEMAND is there. It is like every
thing in the body……..”use it or lose it”. Unfortunately many people with this condition end up in a vicious cycle; the pain stops the walking, and the lack of walking increases the problem. Exercise is recommended to greatly reduce symptoms and to increase pain free walking distance. Eight years ago on request of the vascular nurse in Christchurch hospital, Physical Sense started a two weekly circuit for Intermittent Claudication patients. The pilot program started with 50 clients. • 82% of all clients, experienced improvement in their walking distance • Quite a number of clients doubled their walking distance, for some it even became limitless. • After a year 88% of clients were still active • There was an exceptionally low dropout rate of only 8% • The 18% who did not notice a difference in relation to their walking distance still enjoyed all the other benefits of exercise (to heart, lungs, sugar levels, bone health, balance and mood etc.) People always start in a group, so they get the benefit of a guided introduction to more exercise and the use of the gym. In
the groups we are looking at 50-80+ year olds that are giving their legs a workout by using steppers, treadmills, stationary bikes and other exercise stations. That way they also benefit from working out with people who suffer the same problems. “It is amazing the support and wisdom people receive from each other” Ietje says. In this “circuit setup” every client can work in their own tempo, and people simply sit down and have a rest when the “cramping in the leg” becomes too much. Some people stay in the group and some choose to use the gym by themselves to keep on top of their claudication. At Physical Sense they have been going strong with the Intermittent Claudication class ever since the first class eight years ago. You can try the classes for FREE. If you want to continue and you have WINZ support, WINZ usually pays for the classes (as WINZ is VERY supportive of these classes).

Minerals are the building blocks of good health. Some minerals are only needed in trace amounts where others like magnesium are needed in much larger amounts and on a regular basis to prevent deficiency and maintain optimum health. A large number of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium from our diet and may notice some of the common signs of deficiency. Some of the more common symptoms that may be caused by insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, raised and/or unstable blood pressure, poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing problems, dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, irritability, seizures, poor concentration and many more. Although many young people now show signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms generally worsen as we age due to our digestive system being less efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement of sufficient strength may be a
sensible option to top up our vital magnesium levels. Not all magnesium supplements however are well absorbed by everyone. Luckily a new marine sourced magnesium has been found that offers good levels of absorbable magnesium as well as many trace nutrients that are low in the diet but essential for good health. Further information is available in store from our natural health advisers, naturopathic doctor & medical herbalist.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS A name synonymous with the motor vehicle industry As a youngster, Trevor Crowe always tinkered with cars. After completing his mechanics engineering apprenticeship, he established Lichfield Motors and later Trevor Crowe Motors, obtaining the Subaru franchise in 1988. Crowe Subaru was the top selling Subaru dealership in New Zealand for many years. In 2000, Trevor sold his Subaru franchise to concentrate on his passion of motor vehicle maintenance and repairs, and motor racing in his spare time. “Trevor enjoys making and fixing things,” advises Josh Mitchell, Car Sales Manager at CroweSport. “He sold the franchise so he could specialise in repairs but so many customers kept asking to buy a car that he began importing second-hand cars, opening a car yard beside his workshop.” Josh joined Trevor as an apprentice mechanic when he left school. He learnt the ins and outs of Subarus while also helping out in the car yard. “Customers liked talking to a mechanic who could answer their questions about Subarus and how they worked,” explains Josh who admits to being as fanatical about motor vehicles and engines as Trevor is. After the 2011 February earthquake, the business took over a vacated business next door and Josh took responsibility for the buying and selling of cars. Each day, Josh sifts through the details of around 200 cars at Japanese auctions, selecting vehicles reflecting quality. He then requests their Japanese agent to thoroughly inspect each car and recommend the best which CroweSport imports. With a new law governing the emission levels of imported vehicles, only Subarus that are 2004 or newer are imported.
Around forty vehicles a month come into the CroweSport workshop where they are serviced and any repairs carried out before being placed in the yard for sale. “Our customers have peace of mind when purchasing our cars as they know they have been thoroughly checked and are in good condition,” explains Josh. Josh says that the standard of cars available from Japan is wide so they only deal with one company. This allows them to have an excellent relationship, building trust in their import agent who checks the cars at auction for CroweSport. Trevor and Josh both currently races Subaru Imprezas, and Trevor is building a new ‘Subaru Special’ race car, which might explain why CroweSport really are Subaru specialists, though they repair and service all makes and models. CroweSport is a privately owned and operated automotive sales and service centre. They sell secondhand Subaru and are looking to the future with Nissan Leaf electric vehicles. CroweSport can be found at 518 Moorhouse Avenue (between Fitzgerald Avenue and Ferry Road). To contact CroweSport telephone 03 379 7615 or email: boss@crowesport.co.nz. Their website is: www. crowesport.co.nz; and like them on Facebook where they regularly update motorsport news and events.
