Landscaping U-turn by BP<br />
on neighbouring property<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
and Andrew King<br />
EDGEWARE BP has agreed to<br />
plant trees around it’s newlyredeveloped<br />
site – but no-one has<br />
told the neighbour who raised<br />
the concern.<br />
Cornwall St resident Kazu<br />
Kano and other neighbours<br />
spent more than six months<br />
trying to fight the expansion<br />
of the BP, but the plan was<br />
approved at a resource consent<br />
hearing heard by commissioner<br />
David Mountfort.<br />
Where there was once a row of<br />
established trees, Mr Kano’s view<br />
now is of a 20m long, almost 5m<br />
high white wall just behind the<br />
boundary fence, which reflects<br />
glare into his home.<br />
BP initially refused the<br />
residents’ requests to plant extra<br />
trees to hide the wall.<br />
But it appears to have done<br />
a U-turn after Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel called personally about<br />
the landscaping.<br />
Ms Dalziel stepped in after<br />
articles highlighting the problem<br />
were published in the Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong> and The Star.<br />
She said while she made a call<br />
to the company, the real work<br />
was done by city council staff.<br />
“I believe it is being implemented<br />
now and I am pleased<br />
for the neighbour who was<br />
concerned,” she said.<br />
At the July hearing,<br />
residents tried to stop BP and its<br />
plans to add four more pumps, 12<br />
car parks plus a bigger forecourt.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel waded<br />
into the battle asking BP to work<br />
with city council staff to find a<br />
solution.<br />
Planting of trees to hide the<br />
fence, the city council said,<br />
started yesterday.<br />
Mr Kano said he is still waiting<br />
to be notified of what is going on.<br />
“I haven’t heard anything,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mayor Dalziel said while this is<br />
a good outcome it does highlight<br />
how little influence neighbours<br />
and the city council has on the<br />
resource consent process.<br />

good way<br />
to help elderly<br />
Bryndwr’s Iola Davies is one of many Christchurch<br />
residents who have signed up to Sam Johnson’s<br />
newest venture WeVisit. She is pictured with<br />
WeVisit intern and Victoria University student<br />
Isaiah Ratahi. WeVisit aims to connect the city’s<br />
elderly with student visitors. Student Volunteer<br />
Army founder Sam Johnson said the initiative was<br />
a companion service for the elderly that matched<br />
them with a trusted and trained young person,<br />
who would visit each week, share time, do odd<br />
jobs and keep families in the loop. “Essentially,<br />
we are recruiting a network of New Zealand’s<br />
most helpful grandchildren to support busy<br />
families, expats and those who live apart,” Mr<br />
Johnson said.<br />

THE<br />
EDITOR’S<br />
DESK <strong>News</strong>...................................... 3-9<br />
IT’S TAKEN a while but finally we<br />
have some good news today for the<br />
affected residents that opposed the<br />
Edgeware BP expansion.<br />
BP will plant shrubs to try and<br />
minimise the affect the new shop<br />
has along Kazu Kano’s fence. Time<br />
will tell how effective that is, but<br />
BP should also be painting the<br />
back of their shop to reduce the<br />
glare on the Kanos’ back porch.<br />
It will be at travesty if BP doesn’t.<br />
As we reported last week, Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel jumped in to push<br />
BP into doing something and this<br />
appears to have worked. Thanks<br />
Lianne. But if it wasn’t for Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong> and The Star fighting for<br />
the residents, nothing would have<br />
been done. The city council was<br />
complicit in the resource consent<br />
process that allowed this to happen<br />
and local councillor Pauline Cotter<br />
didn’t seem interested in the latest<br />
battle, as we reported recently.<br />

Village expansion opened<br />
RESIDENTS IN The Russley<br />
Village have a brand new $10<br />
million community centre<br />
which was opened by John Key<br />
on Friday.<br />
The ‘Homestead’ was opened<br />
on the site of the old Russley<br />
Hotel which first opened in<br />
1964.<br />
As well as Mr Key more than<br />
200 guests were in attendance,<br />
including local MP and Minister<br />
of Transport Gerry Brownlee<br />
– who once worked at the old<br />
hotel – master of ceremonies<br />
Peter Townsend, former hotel<br />
manager Peter Morrison and village<br />
ambassador Judy Bailey.<br />
Village director Graham<br />
Wilkinson said the brief for the<br />
build recognised the importance<br />
of the history of the site.<br />
“The Russley Hotel was of<br />
huge significance to Christchurch,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We wanted to preserve this<br />
by creating a sophisticated country<br />
club experience that captures<br />
some of the old hotel’s warmth<br />
and ambience.”<br />
Like the old hotel, the new<br />
Homestead has areas purposebuilt<br />
for entertainment and<br />
socialising including a boutique<br />
cinema with tiered seats and a<br />
café and brasserie.<br />
Upstairs, there is an intimate<br />

lounge. There is also a library,<br />
study and computer area, an arts<br />
and crafts space as well as a hair<br />
salon and wellness rooms for<br />
health professionals.<br />
There are a number of contemporary<br />
design features<br />
throughout, from the marble reception<br />
and weathered bronzed<br />
finishes to more traditional<br />
design elements such as exposed<br />
rafters and vaulted ceilings<br />
with skylights to diffuse light<br />
throughout.<br />
“The Russley Hotel was well<br />
known for its friendly fireplaces.<br />
We’ve emulated this and have<br />
installed within the Homestead<br />
three stunning fireplaces featuring<br />
herringbone brick liners and<br />
raked limestone hearths,” Mr<br />
Wilkinson said.<br />
“The Russley was also the<br />
first hotel in the south island<br />
to have a swimming pool and<br />
became quite famous for its<br />
parties. Again, in keeping with<br />
the history of the site, we have<br />
started the construction of an<br />
indoor heated pool and spa<br />
complex.”<br />
The new Homestead complex,<br />
was designed by Christchurchbased<br />
Dalman Architects and<br />
Auckland-based Lauren Hare<br />
Interiors.<br />
In Brief<br />
STREET ONE-WAY<br />
Westminster St, between<br />
Cranford St and Roosevelt Ave,<br />

the next four days while repairs<br />
are being carried out on the<br />
wastewater system. On-street<br />
parking will be limited. Work will<br />
take place between 7am and 6pm.<br />
WOMAN HURT IN CRASH<br />
A woman in her 20s was taken<br />
to Christchurch Hospital<br />
on Thursday with moderate<br />
injuries after a two vehicle crash<br />
on Thursday. St John sent an<br />
ambulance to the scene at the<br />
intersection of Hills and Innes<br />
Rds around 6.50am.<br />
FUNDING SOUGHT<br />

Mike Vincent<br />
Million dollar mission to save a<br />
Mike Vincent is Kaikoura’s paua saviour. He<br />
reckons he and about 450 volunteers have<br />
saved paua worth more than $1 million since the<br />
November 14 earthquake. Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
talks to the 44-year-old about questioning his<br />
science teacher, missing his wife and kids, and<br />
growing up in Aranui<br />
Where are you while we’re<br />
chatting?<br />
We’re in Boat Harbour in the<br />
south of Kaikoura still, we’re<br />
waiting for a road to open so<br />
we can get access to some bays<br />
further to the north, the different<br />
inlets and bays up there. All<br />
the way from Oaro through to<br />
Peketa is the area we’ve been allowed<br />
to relocate paua.<br />
Talk to me about the process<br />
of relocating paua. What does<br />
that entail?<br />
Before I do I’ll explain how to<br />
normally gather paua. You jump<br />
in at low tide and dive for it;<br />
that’s the way to get it legally. But<br />
now because of the earthquake<br />
you can walk out in sand shoes<br />
without getting wet and reach it.<br />
In my whole 30 years of diving<br />
I’ve never been able to go into<br />
a tidal zone and pick up my six<br />
paua without getting wet. There’s<br />
no science in that, it’s just what’s<br />
happened.<br />
So now you’re wading out,<br />
gathering them and dropping<br />
them deeper?<br />
What we do is we go out at<br />
low tide, when there’s a two hour<br />
window either side of that and<br />
we fill buckets with water and the<br />
harvesters go out and grab them,<br />
and the relocaters who are the<br />
experienced divers, go and place<br />
them on rocks, back into the<br />
water basically. The simple way<br />
of saying it is that we’re moving<br />
them from where there was no<br />
water, to where there is water.<br />
How much depth do you<br />
think has been lost from the<br />
earthquake?<br />
It’s hard to put a number on<br />
it, because all I can say is there’s<br />
hundreds of dead paua on the<br />
beaches now. It’s also important<br />
to ask if in the old tidal zone<br />
pre-earthquake was there any<br />
sea-life on the beach? The answer<br />
is no. In the new tidal zone after<br />
the quake would there be any life<br />
POWER COUPLE: Mike Vincent and wife Debra. Mr Vincent<br />
says she is his rock back in Christchurch.<br />
there? And the answer is still no,<br />
because sea creatures can’t live<br />
out of water (laughs).<br />
And so you’ve brought it on<br />
yourself to get them back in the<br />
water?<br />
A diving mate of mine Dylan<br />
Dhue, his wife Hannah and I<br />
phoned each other the day after<br />
the earthquake. When we saw a<br />
photo of a rock full of paua well<br />
above the water line on Facebook,<br />
that’s what made me call<br />
him and I said to him we have to<br />
do something. And that’s when<br />
I posted my first Facebook plea<br />
for help.<br />
And it all went from there?<br />
Pretty much. So now it’s all<br />
volunteers up here who all feel<br />
the same as us – they’ve all<br />
visited or dived here. It’s touched<br />
all of us. Kaikoura has a special<br />
place in all South Islanders’<br />
minds and hearts. Also a big<br />
thank you to the local runanga in<br />
Kaikoura who offered their help<br />
and support for us.<br />
Obviously you can’t save<br />
every single paua out there –<br />
but how many do you think<br />
you’ve relocated back to the<br />
water?<br />
You’re right we can’t save all<br />
of them. But I’d say we’ve put<br />
between 20,000 and 75,000kg of<br />
paua back into the water. But to<br />
give you an idea, we would fill a<br />
20-30L bucket in about a minute,<br />
so we fill thousands of buckets.<br />
To put a money figure on what<br />
we’re doing, it’s about $90 for a<br />
ton of paua, so we would be talking<br />
over a million bucks for this<br />
operation normally. We’ve probably<br />
had about 450 volunteers<br />
over the whole time helping out<br />
too. I want to say a big thank you<br />
to all our wives out there as well<br />
(laughs). We’ve all got families<br />
mate, they’ve been our rocks, so<br />
letting us go away and do this is<br />
awesome.<br />
We’re coming up to<br />
Christmas now, how much<br />
longer do you think you can do<br />
this for?<br />
We’re waiting for a road to<br />
open up towards Peketa so we<br />
can get there. If it doesn’t open<br />
by Sunday though we’ll have to<br />
call it.<br />

Kaikoura natural treasure<br />
When will you be back in<br />
Christchurch?<br />
I would say within the next<br />
week and a half. It’s been adventurous,<br />
but we just want to get<br />
home to support our families.<br />
It will be really awesome for me<br />
to see my wife Debra and my<br />
two young boys Kaydence and<br />
Ezekiel again.<br />
What suburb in Christchurch<br />
are you going back to?<br />
Addington. We’ve been there<br />
for eight years now. It’s our first<br />
house. I haven’t been working<br />
so my wife’s a bit stretched. I’m<br />
in the building industry but I’ve<br />
taken almost a year off to help<br />
with the house.<br />
Do you ask a few of your<br />
builder friends to help with the<br />
house?<br />
Oh hell yes. I’ve got heaps of<br />
friends that have helped out with<br />
the house, people like plasterers,<br />
painters, landscapers, it’s all good<br />
karma that comes around for<br />
them too.<br />
You must have a lot of good<br />
karma with the work you’re doing<br />
at the moment?<br />
Yes, I think I must have a bit<br />
of credit in the bank (laughs).<br />
It’s the love and support of the<br />
New Zealand people, that’s what<br />
allows me to keep going. We’re a<br />
special breed us Kiwis I truly believe<br />
that. I think when you have<br />
a natural disaster it brings people<br />
back together and you get a lot<br />
of good things happening. And<br />
in 20 years time our kids will be<br />
able to come out to Kaikoura and<br />
get paua.<br />
So it’s also about the future<br />
generation for you?<br />
It’s all about my kids and their<br />
kids, to get paua for me, their<br />
father, when I’m too old to get it<br />
myself (laughs). It’s me teaching<br />
them what’s important, conservation<br />
and all that.<br />
What high school did you go<br />
to in Christchurch?<br />
I went to Aranui High School.<br />
I was brought up and lived in<br />
New Brighton and loved surfing<br />
on North Beach, I used to love<br />
to surf. I’m more into my diving<br />
and hunting now. I’d rather run<br />
around the hills and do stuff<br />
like that now, chasing pigs and<br />
deer.<br />
Who did you hang out with at<br />
school?<br />
It was a big community back<br />
then. It’s a lot different now because<br />
of the advances with technology<br />
nowadays. We’d phone<br />
people and actually bike to each<br />
others’ houses and that kind of<br />
thing. It was a small community<br />
and everybody knew everybody.<br />
Are there any schoolmates<br />
you still catch up with?<br />
I still see a lot of the mates, and<br />
because of this work I’m doing<br />
up here a lot have come back<br />
out of the woodwork. That core<br />
group of good friends are still<br />
around. Just a big web of friends<br />
I guess.<br />
Did you have any favourite<br />
subjects at school?<br />
I loved science – I was the<br />
guy that would stand up in class<br />
and got in trouble for it, and<br />
ask about evolution and ask the<br />
teacher why apes aren’t turning<br />
into humans now, that kind of<br />
thing. I loved it because I liked<br />
the challenge of working through<br />
something and asking what’s going<br />
on here.<br />
Were you pretty smart for a<br />
student?<br />
I was an average student, sort<br />
of in-between average and above<br />
PAUA<br />
SAVIOUR:<br />
A group of<br />
volunteers<br />

paua on the<br />
Kaikoura<br />
coast (left).<br />
The paua<br />
need saving<br />
because the<br />
seabed rose<br />
significantly<br />
during the<br />
earthquake.<br />
average in terms of my brains. I<br />
loved my sport though. I played<br />
representative rugby for Canterbury,<br />
then I went and played<br />
league and then got into diving<br />
at 14 and hunting after that. I<br />
still play presidents rugby league<br />
for the Kaiapoi Bulldogs. I still<br />
throw myself around like I’m 21<br />
to be honest (laughs).<br />
Did you do any tertiary education<br />
after Aranui?<br />
I did a course at polytech for<br />
business management. I think I<br />
got through one year and it got<br />
boring for me. It wasn’t challenging<br />
enough for me and I thought<br />
do I really need a piece of paper<br />
for this? I’m just a worker that<br />
learns a lot by talking to people<br />
and not judging them.<br />

PAPANUI HIGH SCHOOL<br />
NEWSLETTER<br />
Greetings, Tena Koutou Katoa,<br />
Welcome to our final newsletter for <strong>2016</strong>. We have<br />
had a very successful year, and our students are<br />
doing incredibly well. Increasingly, students are<br />
experiencing and striving for greater success. We<br />
know that, when students are engaged, they will<br />
make progress, and this has been reflected in their<br />
achievement.<br />
As a school it is our responsibility to provide the<br />
best possible learning for every student, and ensure<br />
we meet their diverse needs. The consolidation<br />
of recent initiatives also ensures sustained and<br />
continuous improvement can happen, and supports<br />
the embedding of good school wide practice.<br />
What strongly complements curriculum success,<br />
is of course the opportunities provided by the<br />
school’s co-curricular programme. Our students<br />
have performed exceptionally well in a full range of<br />
activities, some of which are shown below.<br />
At this time of the year, we need to say farewell to a<br />
number of permanent staff. Mr Thomson is leaving<br />
us to take up the Head of Mathematics position at<br />
Riccarton High School, and Mrs Alison Goodfellow<br />
who has taught in our ESOL department for the last<br />
15 years, is retiring. We thank them for their hard<br />
work and for the many years of service they have<br />
provided to the school and to education in general.<br />
Ms Alana Davis, and Mr Fred Poskitt, were both<br />
awarded 40 years long service awards at our<br />
recent senior prize giving in acknowledgement and<br />
celebration of their dedication, valued service, and<br />
outstanding contribution to our school.<br />
I would like to thank and acknowledge;<br />
• the, Board of Trustees, Parent Teacher<br />
Association, parents, whanau, and the wider<br />
community, for their support and for sharing in the<br />
responsibility of educating our young people,<br />
• the entire staff, who make Papanui High School an<br />
exciting and rewarding place,<br />
and,<br />
• the students, who give us all enormous pleasure<br />
in seeing them achieve the things they do. Our<br />
students grow up to be wonderfully mature young<br />
adults with a strong sense of social responsibility.<br />
For those students who are leaving. Thank you for<br />
being a part of Papanui High School. I hope you<br />
feel well prepared for the next step in your lives,<br />
and that you are moving on to new and exciting<br />
challenges. I wish you all the very best for your<br />
future.<br />
Have a safe and happy holiday period. I look<br />
forward to 2017 in the<br />
knowledge that as a school and a community<br />
we will continue to work together to provide our<br />
students an education that is supportive, caring,<br />
and developed in a ‘forward thinking’ way.<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
ongoing saga of the<br />
Edgeware BP expansion,<br />
and the issues neighbours<br />
have been left with<br />
G B Tulloch: Re: the glaring<br />
white wall at BP Edgeware, perhaps<br />
it could be repainted with<br />
a mural showing the foul clouds<br />
of toxic smoke from the wrecked<br />
Deep Sea Horizon oil rig, the<br />
oil drenched coast of the Gulf of<br />
Mexico, the dead workers, the<br />
suffocated seabirds, the poisoned<br />
fish, and the hordes of lawyers,<br />
spin doctors and lobbyists running<br />
round trying to hide BP’s<br />
responsibility.<br />
In the meantime, boycott BP.<br />
David Dixon: Good to have<br />
a chance to comment on the<br />
BP/Edgeware issue. We have<br />
followed your regular features<br />
and frankly the behaviour of the<br />
corporate is appalling.<br />
The whole concept of them enlarging<br />
in such a congested area<br />
with kindergarten, housing , the<br />
supermarket, a busy Postshop,<br />
all the other shops and a very<br />
busy intersection is inane and<br />
should never have been allowed<br />
to go ahead.<br />
I felt so much for the neighbours<br />
having to fight the corporate<br />
bully through a loaded<br />
resource hearing. Talk about<br />
David and Goliath. The decision<br />
Mr Mountford reached was<br />
deplorable and for BP to now<br />

Stand-out player<br />
gets team home<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’<br />
High School’s Quinn<br />
Clinton put in a stand-out<br />
performance to help the<br />
Junior Tall Blacks qualify for<br />
next year’s under-19 World<br />
Championship in Egypt.<br />
They upset the odds by defeating<br />
Australia 57-51 in the<br />
Oceania qualifying tournament<br />
in Fiji on Saturday.<br />
Clinton led all scorers in the<br />
final with 14 points, including<br />
two late three-pointers to see<br />
his team home.<br />
The point guard was named<br />
as New Zealand captain prior<br />
to the tournament and lived<br />
up to the billing. Trailing by<br />
two points with less than two<br />
minutes remaining, Clinton<br />
hit from long range to put his<br />
team up 50-49.<br />
With 40 seconds remaining,<br />
Clinton hit another three<br />
while getting fouled, to send<br />
him to the line for the chance<br />
of a four-point play. He failed<br />
to convert the free-throw, but<br />
team-mate Taane Samuel’s<br />
put-back put the nail in the<br />
coffin for Australia.<br />
Clinton was impressive<br />

MATT DOOCEY<br />
MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI<br />
CHAT WITH MATT<br />
Like many families, I was rocked<br />
awake by the November earthquake.<br />
The event was a sober reminder for<br />
Canterbury of what our community<br />
has gone through.<br />
I was out and about after the<br />
earthquake to check up on residents<br />
and to be briefed on how our area<br />
had fared. I heard some great stories<br />
about night-shift workers who came<br />
out to check on evacuees parked in<br />
the parking lots of our supermarkets<br />
and offered support and food.<br />
The work undertaken by our<br />
councils and private building<br />
owners in upgrading our buildings<br />
to increase our ability to cope<br />
with earthquake events resulted<br />
in relatively little damage to our<br />
buildings or infrastructure. This<br />
allowed us to be able to support<br />
Hurunui and Kaikōura, and I spoke<br />
in Parliament’s General Debate<br />
Funded by Parliamentary Service and authorised by<br />
Matt Doocey MP, <strong>13</strong>0A Percival St, Rangiora.<br />
about how we are supporting our<br />
neighbours in North Canterbury. The<br />
earthquakes are going to require<br />
a number of legislative measures<br />
to facilitate recovery and I sat in<br />
Parliament under Urgency hearing<br />
the submissions on the Hurunui and<br />
Kaikōura Earthquakes Emergency<br />
Relief Bill.<br />
It’s another reminder to look out for<br />
each other and to check with family<br />
and friends to see they are getting<br />
the support they need. I’m getting<br />
great feedback on my new Belfast<br />
office, with constituents reporting<br />
they appreciate the shorter travel<br />
time to meet with me, so if you need<br />
help or know someone who needs<br />
help, please get in touch.<br />
From my family to yours, I wish you a<br />
Merry Christmas and a peaceful new<br />
year.<br />

Rotary cheque<br />
THE ROTARY Club<br />
of Papanui recently<br />
presented a cheque for<br />
$6440 to the Canterbury<br />
Charity Hospital Trust.<br />
It was a share of the<br />
profits from club’s<br />
successful trailer raffle,<br />
which was organised in<br />
October in partnership<br />
with Papanui Mega Mitre<br />
10.<br />
Club president John<br />
Allen presented the<br />
cheque to Carl Shaw, chief<br />
executive and hospital<br />
manager, who said the<br />
contribution would<br />
help fund more dental<br />
equipment.<br />
Mr Allen acknowledged<br />
the work CCHT delivers<br />
to people who require<br />
surgery, dentistry or<br />
counselling but do not<br />
meet the threshold for<br />
treatment in the public<br />
health system and do not<br />
have the means to fund it<br />
for themselves.<br />
So far this year, CCHT<br />
has undertaken more than<br />
400 procedures for those<br />
who would otherwise be<br />
unable to access the care<br />
they need.<br />
The presentation took<br />
place in the recovery ward<br />
where several reclining<br />
chairs, previously donated<br />
by Rotary, are located.<br />
The trust has purchased<br />
a further neighbouring<br />
property which is<br />
being converted into a<br />
counselling suite and<br />

Boys’ High take national title<br />
LAWyerS<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FRASER SHEAT has joined<br />
the likes of previous winner<br />
Black Caps captain Kane<br />
Williamson after taking<br />
out the MVP award at last<br />
week’s Secondary School<br />
Boys’ First XI Cup.<br />
The 18-year-old right<br />
arm pace bowler led all<br />
players with 11 wickets for<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School at the week-long<br />
tournament at Lincoln<br />
University, as his side captured<br />
the title with a perfect<br />
record of five wins from as<br />
many games.<br />
Sheat was understandably<br />
overjoyed to win the tournament<br />
MVP award.<br />
History tends to suggest<br />
those that win MVP are<br />
destined for bigger things.<br />
Williamson and fellow<br />
Black Cap Adam Milne are<br />
just two names to win the<br />
award over the last decade.<br />
“I didn’t expect the award<br />
at all. I can’t really see myself<br />
up there with those sort<br />
of guys. It’s pretty special<br />
to get the award and I’m<br />
just stoked for the boys that<br />
we could get the win,” said<br />
Sheat.<br />
The CBHS first XI not<br />
only went unbeaten at<br />
the tournament, but have<br />
remained unbeaten in all<br />
competitions this year.<br />
“The boys have worked so<br />
hard throughout the year.<br />
They just keep working and<br />
working and this was their<br />
end goal. And to do it without<br />
losing one is an amazing<br />
effort from them,” said<br />
CBHS coach Mark Lane.<br />
The most memorable win<br />
during last week’s tournament<br />
came on Wednesday<br />
against Auckland’s St Kentigern<br />
College which finished<br />
runners-up.<br />
Batting first, CBHS scored<br />
243 from 50 overs. St Kentigern<br />
got off to a great start<br />
in reply and were cruising at<br />
184/4 in the 27th over.<br />
Three quick wickets fell<br />
before they stabilised to be<br />
238/7, requiring just six runs<br />
from the final four overs.<br />
However, CBHS put in a<br />
spirited bowling effort to<br />
take the final three St Kentigern<br />
wickets for just three<br />
runs and win the match by<br />
two runs.<br />
CBHS have now won the<br />
cup three times over the<br />
past four years.<br />
MVP: Fraser Sheat<br />
took 11 wickets at the<br />
Secondary School Boys’<br />
First XI Cup last week to<br />
win the MVP award. <br />

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | DECEMBER <strong>2016</strong><br />
The year ahead<br />
A message from outgoing EQC chief executive<br />
Ian Simpson<br />
The Kaikoura Earthquake has been an unwelcome<br />
reminder of the sheer power and unpredictability<br />
of geological forces and of New Zealand’s<br />
vulnerability to these.<br />
The earthquake has also highlighted yet again<br />
the resilience of New Zealanders in the face of<br />
natural disaster.<br />
At EQC, it’s also reminded us that every natural<br />
disaster affects communities in different ways. So<br />
while we have learned a number of lessons from<br />
Canterbury 2010-2011, our response to the<br />
Kaikoura Earthquakes will be different.<br />
One of the key things we learned from<br />
Canterbury is that we should have put more<br />
time early on into building relationships with<br />
customers, community groups, local<br />
Courtesy of Tonkin + Taylor<br />
Don’t wait to hear from<br />
EQC – lodge your claim<br />
Most people seen by EQC in the first<br />
weeks since the Kaikoura<br />
Earthquake of 14 November have<br />
wanted help lodging their claims<br />
and advice on how to get emergency<br />
repairs underway to get them back<br />
into their homes.<br />
EQC Customer and Claims General<br />
Manager Trish Keith says that having<br />
organised three teams on rotation into<br />
the most impacted areas of Ward, Waiau<br />
and Kaikoura to help lodge claims,<br />
provide information and answer<br />
EQC-related questions, EQC is being<br />
kept up to date on customer needs.<br />
“One of the lessons out of Canterbury<br />
was that people wanted information<br />
and the opportunity to talk to someone<br />
about their issues as soon as they could<br />
after an event, so we have ensured that<br />
our response to Kaikoura includes<br />
personal contact,” Mrs Keith says.<br />
“The teams have been dealing with<br />
hundreds of customers one-on-one.<br />
Many people have been asking EQC<br />
when someone from EQC will visit<br />
them, so they will know what to do<br />
next. My advice is that they go ahead<br />
and lodge the claim first. Don’t wait for<br />
anyone to visit.<br />
“Go ahead and lodge your claim to<br />
ensure you are in the system, and any<br />
earthquake damage found later can be<br />
added. If you fail to lodge a claim<br />
before 14 February 2017, we won’t be<br />
able to help you so best to lodge the<br />
government, and government agencies<br />
and insurers.<br />
We are heeding that lesson as we plan our<br />
response to Kaikoura. We’ve had staff on the<br />
ground in Kaikoura, Ward and Waiau to help<br />
customers lodge their claims and answer EQC<br />
related questions. The information our people<br />
are picking up from those areas is being fed back<br />
into our planning.<br />
The work we are doing now will mean that in<br />
2017 we will be putting in place the team we<br />
need to deliver a response tailored to the needs<br />
of customers impacted by the Kaikoura<br />
Earthquake. This team will be part of the new<br />
structure we have developed to also carry on the<br />
remaining work in Canterbury in 2017.<br />
While we are working very hard on responding to<br />
Kaikoura, we also know we have to keep focussed<br />
on resolving the final Canterbury claims.<br />
I’m stepping down as EQC’s chief executive at<br />
the end of this year. I want to thank people of<br />
claim,” Mrs Keith says.<br />
The next steps about claim assessment<br />
and settlement are still the subject of<br />
ongoing negotiations with private<br />
insurers. EQC is confident it will have<br />
news on this soon.<br />
EQC has been prioritising the<br />
vulnerable and the most damaged<br />
homes for visits, as needed.<br />
All EQC teams are working out of<br />
Recovery Assistance Centres set up by<br />
Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency<br />
Management in Ward, Waiau and<br />
Kaikoura so Government agencies and<br />
non-government agencies could deliver<br />
consistently across areas of need.<br />
If you have any questions about<br />
your existing claim or want to lodge<br />
a new claim:<br />
• Visit www.eqc.govt.nz/claims<br />
• Email info@eqc.govt.nz<br />
• Phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243)<br />
The EQC call centre is open 7am to<br />
9pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to<br />
6pm on Saturdays.<br />
To prepare for making a claim,<br />
remember to have on hand:<br />
• Information about what damage<br />
occurred<br />
• Photographs showing the damage<br />
and any urgent work that was done<br />
• Your insurance policy number and<br />
name of your insurance company.<br />
Courtesy of NZ Fire Service<br />
Canterbury for the support we have received,<br />
and at times for your patience. I acknowledge we<br />
didn’t always get everything right but we have<br />
learned from that. I also want to acknowledge the<br />
EQC staff who worked very hard to support the<br />
Canterbury recovery.<br />
Looking ahead, it’s clear 2017 will be another<br />
year of challenges. I’m confident that EQC will<br />
rise to meet those challenges.<br />
2017 changes<br />
From later this month, EQC will be the main point of<br />
contact for all customer enquiries relating to Canterbury<br />
Home Repair Programme (CHRP) repairs.<br />
Until now, customers have dealt with EQC and/or Fletcher EQR<br />
– depending on what stage their repairs have been at. But, from<br />
16 <strong>December</strong>, EQC’s 0800 number (0800 326 243) will be the<br />
main number for all customers – including those whose<br />
properties are in the current sub-floor review, who will be<br />
transferred to the Fletcher EQR staff focussing on that work.<br />
No delays are intended or anticipated, but personnel changes<br />
due to the completion of about 68,400 first-time CHRP repairs<br />
may mean some customers will have a different contact person<br />
at EQC or EQR in 2017.<br />
EQC’s General Manager Customer and Claims Trish Keith says<br />
these customers will be advised of any changes and provided<br />
with new contact details.<br />
“We don’t want customers who currently have a contact<br />
person at EQC or EQR calling us and only then finding out that<br />
someone else is looking after their claim.”<br />
She says any changes will be limited to EQC and EQR<br />
personnel, and repair work will be carried out by contractors<br />
that have already worked for the home repair programme and<br />
are familiar with EQC’s systems and quality expectations.<br />
Most CHRP contractors will finish work for the year on<br />
23 <strong>December</strong> and resume work from 9 January.<br />
EQC’s Contact Centre hours will be:<br />
• Friday 23 <strong>December</strong>: 7am-5pm<br />
• Saturday 24 <strong>December</strong> – Tuesday 27 <strong>December</strong>: CLOSED<br />
• Wednesday 28 <strong>December</strong> – Friday 30 <strong>December</strong>: 8am-5pm<br />
• Saturday 31 <strong>December</strong> – Tuesday 3 January: CLOSED<br />
• Normal hours will resume on Wednesday 4 January<br />

Positive<br />
response to<br />
February <strong>2016</strong><br />
settlement<br />
process<br />
90 percent of claims from the February <strong>2016</strong><br />
earthquakes have been settled.<br />
EQC’s February <strong>2016</strong> Event Response Manager,<br />
Jayne Lapin, says of the <strong>13</strong>,879 claims received for the<br />
14 and 29 February earthquakes and subsequent<br />
aftershocks, EQC has resolved 12,440 (90 percent)<br />
by cash settlement worth a total value of $46,039,854<br />
“Customers have appreciated the approach we have<br />
developed and implemented in response to the<br />
February earthquakes.”<br />
The new approach uses both on-site and phonebased<br />
assessments, and allows customers to influence<br />
the pace of settlement by giving them the opportunity<br />
to provide earthquake damage data and<br />
photographic evidence.<br />
Thanks to a robust period of planning in advance and<br />
with customers providing information up front, claims<br />
have taken an average of three weeks to reach<br />
settlement from assessment.<br />
Customers who have been through the process have<br />
been surveyed and nearly 90 percent of those who have<br />
taken part have been positive about their experience.<br />
Ms Lapin says EQC had hoped to resolve all February<br />
<strong>2016</strong> claims by the end of the year but it has suited<br />
some customers to defer their assessment to 2017,<br />
meaning a small number remain open and will be<br />
closed early next year.<br />
Land settlements<br />
update<br />
Almost all land claims will be resolved by the end<br />
of the year but there will be some customers who<br />
will get their settlement in 2017.<br />
At the end of <strong>December</strong> <strong>2016</strong>, out of a total of<br />
approximately 73,000 green zone properties we<br />
expect to have resolved 97% of them. This means we<br />
have either made payments to customers or advised<br />
them that they don’t qualify for the types of land<br />
damage known as Increased Flooding Vulnerability<br />
(IFV) and/or Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV).<br />
“We’ve been working to get an answer to all land<br />
customers waiting to hear from us this year. While we<br />
have worked hard to ensure that customers have<br />
received their land settlement, we are conscious that<br />
some are still waiting”, says EQC’s Head of Customer<br />
and Claims Trish Keith.<br />
“These are the last of the most complex claims that<br />
we need to settle and we will do our best to continue<br />
to deliver robust settlements which can give<br />
homeowners confidence that all properties have been<br />
assessed fairly and consistently”, says Mrs Keith.<br />
“Looking back on the year, we would also like the<br />
opportunity to thank all land customers, community<br />
groups and many other stakeholders, who are also<br />
supporting our customers, for their patience and<br />
understanding as well as taking the time to come to<br />
our community meetings on land settlements or<br />
hosting us and providing us with their feedback”,<br />
concludes Mrs Keith.<br />
The EQC website remains a good source of<br />
information for land customers who want to find out<br />
more about IFV and ILV land damage, which are a<br />
world-first. Please visit www.eqc.govt.nz/IFV or www.<br />
eqc.govt.nz/ILV.<br />

FLAME FILES<br />
KIDSTUFF<br />
Don’t leave clothes in the<br />
dryer while you’re not home<br />
Fire risk management<br />
officer Mark Thomas<br />
talks about call outs<br />
in the lead up to<br />
Christmas and a new<br />
call out to a fire in an<br />
ice cream truck<br />
Another week and<br />
another series of car<br />
crashes in Christchurch.<br />
Twenty-one attended by<br />
Fire Service troops in the<br />
past seven days.<br />
Lately, these seem to be<br />
increasing quite alarmingly.<br />
It might be the time<br />
of year, it might be something<br />
to do with drink<br />
driving, but whatever it<br />
is a car crash just now is<br />
pretty much guaranteed to<br />
result in a less than merry<br />
Christmas.<br />
For goodness sake watch<br />
where you’re driving,<br />
watch other traffic and pedestrians<br />
and don’t speed.<br />
You’ve heard the term<br />
‘fire and ice’. ‘Fire and ice<br />
cream’ doesn’t have the<br />
same ring about it does it?<br />
Every now and then<br />
comes an incident that<br />
is new, even to long-time<br />
firefighters. A recently<br />
opened service station in<br />
Harewood had a fire in<br />
an ice cream machine last<br />
Thursday.<br />
It didn’t come to much<br />
and was shut down by staff<br />
with firefighters just ensuring<br />
no fire spread with a<br />
thermal imaging camera.<br />
I’ve mentioned this<br />
THE PLAYHOUSE CHALLENGE<br />
before but leaving the<br />
house with a clothes dryer<br />
just started is not recommended.<br />
We’ve all done it,<br />
many of us not even thinking<br />
about the possibilities.<br />
Mostly nothing will happen<br />
other than the clothes<br />
being dry when you come<br />
home. But occasionally,<br />
as in Malabar Cres,<br />
Broomfield, last Friday, a<br />
family will come home to a<br />
destroyed home.<br />
By being there while the<br />
appliance is operating,<br />
you increase your chance<br />
of cutting off a fire or at<br />
least having us on the way<br />
earlier.<br />
And every second saved<br />
means so much more of<br />
your stuff saved.<br />
Tenants Protection Association (TPA) Christchurch, Birthright Canterbury, and<br />
Star Media are proud to present Canterbury’s first ever ‘Playhouse Challenge.’<br />
The competition will see some of our top architects and building teams compete<br />
against each other to build Canterbury’s best playhouse and receive an award for<br />
‘Best Architectural Playhouse’ or the ‘People’s Choice’.<br />
The best five playhouses will be judged by an expert panel and members of the<br />
public attending the 2017 Star Home & Leisure Show. The playhouses will be on<br />
display at the Show from 30 June until 2 July, where they will also be auctioned.<br />
Proceeds from the auction will be shared between TPA and Birthright Canterbury<br />
to support their ongoing work in the community.<br />
Send in Your Expression of Interest<br />
If you think you are up for the challenge of building<br />
Canterbury’s best playhouse, please submit an<br />
Expression of Interest by 5pm on 22 <strong>December</strong>.<br />
Visit birthrightchch.org.nz or tpa.org.nz<br />

No job too small at<br />
this repair business<br />
Scratch on the bumper? Dent in the door?<br />
Damage like this can happen so easily – in<br />
supermarket car parks, for example. And<br />
the place to get minor damage quickly and<br />
professionally repaired is SMART Repairs<br />
in Lichfield Street.<br />
SMART (Small to Medium Automotive<br />
Repair Techniques) Repairs provides a topquality<br />
service with a quick turnaround<br />
– vehicles are usually in and out within a<br />
couple of days.<br />
SMART Repairs is owned and operated<br />
by Brian and Maxine Caffell, who bought<br />
their first panelbeating business in 1993.<br />
Brian has a total of 31 years’ experience in<br />
the trade, so customers can be confident<br />
they will get a first-class job.<br />

or PDR, and while a large percentage of<br />
their work is non-insurance, they also<br />
provide insurance quotes and carry out<br />
those repairs quickly and efficiently.<br />
To keep their customers on the road while<br />
their vehicle is in the workshop, SMART<br />
Repairs recently acquired a courtesy car,<br />
and this has already proven to be a great<br />
help for people, Maxine says. They also offer<br />
a pick-up and delivery service if required.<br />
As a small, friendly operation, SMART<br />
Repairs specialises in small to medium<br />
repair work, with no job too small, Maxine<br />
says. Their aim is to provide personalised<br />
service, and make it easy for customers<br />
unsure what to do if their vehicle is<br />
damaged.<br />
“We take pride in our work and ensure<br />
that our customers are happy with the<br />
results.”<br />

Festive Season Survival Tips<br />
Healthy snacks are always popular<br />
Christmas is a time for celebration,<br />
spending time with friends and<br />
family and enjoying festive foods<br />
and drinks. Nutrition-wise, this<br />
festive fare can be a challenge.<br />
Here are some simple tips to help you<br />
survive the festivities:<br />
• Don’t try to lose weight over the festive<br />
season. With parties, families and all the<br />
special foods that go with Christmas, it’s<br />
going to be just about impossible! Your<br />
main aim should be to maintain your<br />
weight (using some of the tips below!)<br />
• Eat regular meals. If you skip meals you<br />
are more likely to fill up on high fat snacks.<br />
It only takes a few of these snacks to add<br />
up to more calories than your usual meal.<br />
• Avoid going to a function hungry, you<br />
can easily eat a lot of party food in a short<br />
time. Have a small snack beforehand like a<br />
bowl of cereal, yoghurt or a sandwich are<br />
quick and will help fill you up. It will also<br />
help if you are well hydrated, so try drinking<br />
a few glasses of water before you arrive.<br />
• Deep fried foods, crumbed and battered<br />
foods, cheese platter and nuts are all high in<br />
fat. Choose fruit, vegetable or bread based<br />
snacks.<br />
• If you are hosting the party, offer your<br />
guests a range of healthy snacks. Always<br />
popular are hummus or salsa dips with<br />
vegetable sticks.<br />
• If you are taking a plate, make yours a<br />
healthy option. How about a platter of fruit<br />
currently in season?<br />
• Listen to your body and stop eating<br />
when you feel full.<br />
• Just say ‘No” to food – mentally<br />
Be aware of how much you are actually drinking<br />
practice strategies to decline food offers. For<br />
example: “It looks amazing but I am full” or<br />
“I tried it and it was great”.<br />
• Chat and mingle. If you are bored at a<br />
party you’re more likely to hover around the<br />
food table or seek out the serving platter. A<br />
good conversation can distract you from the<br />
food. Avoid standing right beside the food<br />
table or bar while you’re talking.<br />
• Consider your drinks, they can add to<br />
the calorie count very quickly. Try diluting<br />
your alcoholic drinks, such as a spritzer<br />
(½ wine, ½ soda). If you prefer spirits,<br />
try a diet mixer. Lite beers are lower in<br />
calories and alcohol. Remember soft drinks,<br />
juices, punches, tonic water and flavoured<br />
mineral water can all have similar calories<br />
to alcoholic drinks.<br />
•Be aware of how much you are actually<br />
drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with<br />
glasses of water and non-alcoholic choices.<br />
• Keep Active. Join in the Christmas<br />
backyard cricket game or go for a walk<br />
with friends or relatives. Remember you’re<br />
aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity<br />
each day.<br />
• If your regular exercise class stops over<br />
the Christmas break, plan other types of<br />
exercise - organise your friends and put a<br />
date in your diary.<br />
If you do really overdo the festive foods<br />
or drinks, take a deep breath and start the<br />
next day afresh with healthy foods and some<br />
exercise. No fasting - just sensible eating.<br />
Remember, a few parties don’t make you<br />
overweight, it’s what you do all the other<br />
days of the year which count.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Arthritis &<br />
back pain<br />
to rest or keep moving?<br />
With arthritis and back pain 30 years ago<br />
the advice was to rest. But research has<br />
shown that inactivity only makes things<br />
worse.<br />
Move, move, move is always the advice<br />
for arthritis. Staying in bed with back pain<br />
often results in greater difficulty moving<br />
and may prolong the pain. Better to stay<br />
active, garden or walk to the shops.<br />
A pain killer may enable you to continue<br />
normal activities. Any movement, no<br />
matter how small, helps relieve pain. Start<br />
gently with something you enjoy.<br />
There’s no quick fix for back pain but<br />
you need to keep moving. You can keep<br />
your legs and lower back moving with an<br />
Aircycle circulation booster while you sit.<br />
By working your legs, your core muscles<br />
which help support your back, also work<br />
and strengthen. Lower back pain and<br />
sciatica, aching legs and joints are often<br />
relieved this way.<br />
So move – even while you sit. The<br />
Aircycle “pedal” exercise enables this. And<br />
don’t forget to laugh occasionally. That<br />
massages your internal organs and helps<br />
you relax.<br />
Back pain however, has many and varied<br />
causes. Never neglect seeking medical<br />
advice.<br />

Effective<br />
natural skincare<br />
that is ideal for<br />
problem skin<br />
MooGoo produce a full range<br />
of safe, natural skin and scalp<br />
products that are especially<br />
suited for those with problem<br />
skin. In these products they<br />
only use top quality edible<br />
ingredients that are known to<br />
be highly effective and good<br />
for our skin. These active<br />
ingredients are only used in<br />
correct concentrations for<br />
effective results and not just<br />
added to look good on the<br />
label. Because the MooGoo<br />
range is so safe and yet so<br />
effective is probably why it<br />
was rated the number one<br />
most preferred brand of nonprescription<br />
(non-steroid)<br />
creams for those suffering from<br />
problem skin in Australia.<br />
It is also recommended by<br />
many medical practitioners in<br />
Australia.<br />
As MooGoo products are<br />
safe and natural they are ideal<br />
for long term use from babies<br />
to adults. They are an effective<br />
alternative or follow-up<br />
treatment to chemically-based<br />
ointments.<br />

Collagen<br />
the body’s youth protein<br />
Collagen is the primary<br />
protein in the body. It is a major<br />
component of skin, hair, nails,<br />
muscles, tendons, ligaments,<br />
joint cartilage, bones, gums,<br />
teeth, eyes, and blood vessels.<br />
In fact collagen is the primary<br />
structural component for all<br />
tissue in the body, providing<br />
the strength and resilience<br />
associated with youth, beauty<br />
and wellness. The body’s natural<br />
collagen production decreases<br />
with age resulting in many signs<br />
of aging, such as flaccid skin,<br />
wrinkles, ligament and tendon<br />
injuries and aching joints.<br />
Collagen supplementation is<br />
one of the most fundamental<br />
things a person can do to<br />
prevent premature aging and<br />
promote youthful vitality.<br />
NEOCELL are the industry<br />
leaders in research on collagen<br />
supplementation. Through<br />
advanced research they have<br />
perfected a way to hydrolyse<br />
collagen and effectively reduce<br />
its molecular weight this<br />
improving the absorption of<br />
collagen into the blood stream<br />
by over 90%.<br />
A clinical study on<br />
NEOCELL COLLAGEN<br />
has shown skin hydration to<br />
increase an average of 21%<br />
and up to 50%, with 92% of<br />
test subjects experiencing<br />
firmer, softer skin. Most<br />
people taking NEOCELL<br />
COLLAGEN reported seeing<br />
visible improvements within<br />
two weeks.<br />
Collagen supplementation<br />
provides the nutrients necessary<br />
to support the body’s collagen<br />
supply. It can help reduce fine<br />
lines and wrinkles and improve<br />
skin elasticity, support building<br />
of strong bones and teeth,<br />
strengthen the nails and hair,<br />
and is vital for muscle growth,<br />
It also assists weight loss by<br />
helping burn fat for energy,<br />
promotes wound healing by<br />
supporting the regeneration of<br />
healthy tissue as well as help<br />
support overall health.<br />
