FLYING HIGH: Burwood resident and New Zealand trampolining
representative Georgea Kelly makes the most of the newly opened Flip
Out Trampoline Arena. The much-anticipated arena opened last month on
Maces Rd, Bromley. A former polymer and rubber products warehouse,
the building has been transformed by owner Andrew Moss in the past few
months in preparation for its opening. The arena has six different sections to
choose from, including a foam pit, wall trampolines and a tricks area.

AFTER attending more
than 100,000 call outs in
its 108-year history, the
New Brighton Volunteer
Fire Brigade will pack
their bags and move to
Bexley.
In 2018, the brigade will
leave its Hawke St station
for a new $10 million site
on the corner of Anzac Dr
and Pages Rd.
The Wainoni Fire Brigade
has also been based
at the Hawke St station
since the earthquakes,
when the New Zealand
Fire Service assessed
the condition of stations
around the city.
Wainoni will join New
Brighton at the new facility
to be called Anzac Fire
Station. It will be a composite,
meaning it is made
up of both volunteers and
paid firefighters.
Fire service area commander
Dave Stackhouse
said moving the fire
station would give better
coverage and response
time to the eastern suburbs.
Mr Stackhouse said he
hopes the estimated $10
million station will open
in the final months of
2018.
“We’re very much
looking forward to that.
It’ll be the new premises
on Anzac Dr. We’ve
been planning the rebuild
of nine stations for quite
some time now,” he said.

THERE IS some good news
coming out of Parklands – $1.5
million worth in fact. Two clubs
are joining forces to try and build
a new sports hub that could have
futsal, basketball, netball, bowls
and petanque. Check out page 3.
The Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board is fired up after
receiving a letter from Mayor
Lianne Dalziel. The letter outlined
what it did and did not get funding
for (page 5). Out of 21 projects,
it received funding for just five.
Members told the Pegasus Post,
they wonder why they even bothered
to put in their submission to
the city council.
Finally, if any of you are still
making up your mind who to vote
for in the local body election, page
6 could help. We ask Burwood
Ward candidates what should be
prioritised – roading and bridges
or decisions on the residential red

NEW PLAN: The Parklands bowling and rugby clubs have revealed plans for a new community sports hub.

Clubs team up for new sports hub
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
TWO CLUBS are joining forces
to bring a $1.5 million sports
hub to Parklands.
Parklands bowling and rugby
clubs have plans to build the
hub – which will include indoor
and outdoor facilities – at
Chadbury St beside Parkview
School.
The bowling club is currently
based in Chadbury St.
The proposal will see the car
park upgraded, with the greens
remaining, and the addition
of two adjacent pieces of land
owned by the city council but
leased to the clubs.
There are also plans to
relocate two classrooms from
the former Freeville School as
a club house and sports hall.
Representatives from a
working group presented
a development plan to the
Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board last Monday.
Sports that could be played
at the facility may include
petanque, futsal, basketball,
netball as well as indoor and
outdoor bowls.
The project needs funding
from grants and public
donations to cover costs for the
relocation, placement, wiring
and plumbing of the two
buildings.
It is expected to cost about
$1.5 million.
The plans were approved
at the meeting and backed
by community board members.
The clubs received letters of
support from Mayor Lianne
Dalziel and two schools.
The two clubs have joined
forces for the last three years
after they were both hit hard in
the earthquakes.
Parklands Bowling Club vice
president Wayne Eden said
one positive feature of having
a large joint membership is the
help and support received from
within the clubs and the local
community.
“Help has already been offered
from people with a range of
skills and experience, which
will make a huge contribution
towards us achieving the
ultimate goal,” he said.
Working group chairman
Maurice Lawlor said, with help
from the Ministry of Education,
the clubs hope to get the two
classrooms in as soon as
possible.
The clubs are looking for
financial support to get their
project off the ground. For more
information, get in touch with
Mr Eden at wayne.eden@xtra.

In Brief
REGENERATION HUB
A new community hub opened
its doors in New Brighton Mall
yesterday. Its purpose is to give
residents access to information on
the area’s regeneration and plans.
The hub is staffed by agencies like
the city council, Development
Christchurch Ltd, and Regenerate
Christchurch. The hub will be
open Monday to Friday, from
10am to 4pm.
FLASHER IN SOUTHSHORE
Information is wanted by New
Brighton police on a man seen
flashing a woman and her
children in Southshore recently.
On September 18, a man was
seen driving over sand dunes
in Southshore and was spotted
flashing woman and children
soon after. Senior Sergeant Dave
Robertson said there has been
reports of people being flashed
around the sand dunes before.
If anyone has information, they
should phone police on 363 7400.
CAR CHARGING STATIONS
Two electric vehicle charging
stations are on their way to New
Brighton after a report from city
council staff was adopted by the
Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board last week. The two charging
ports will be installed in angled
parking spaces outside the New
Brighton Library building. Vehicles
will be restricted to 60min use.

Unfortunately, we just can’t
know it all and that is why
having veterinarians with extra
qualifications in a field ( who are
only to willing to offer help and
advice), is of enormous value
when we are faced with a difficult,
challenging cases.
McMaster & Heap

REFERRAL VETERINARY SERVICES
Recently I referred a 7 year old
English Springer Spaniel to an
orthopaedic surgeon at VSA in
Auckland for spinal surgery. I have
had personal experience with the
team at VSA and great results in the
past. Dusty is a patient we have seen
a lot of recently. He was recently
neutered and treated for an enlarged
prostate and more recently I have
examined and treated Dusty for what we believed
to be unrelenting lower back pain.
Dusty is the perfect patient, amenable to a lot of
manipulation and palpation, although he now
often freezes and drops when he sees me coming.
Previously Dusty has had CT scans, radiographs
and blood testing to try to understand why at
times he seems crippled with pain. He is unable to
run with other dogs, play vigorously, jump, swim
for long periods of time – in other words, “just be a
dog”. His onset of pain
is quick and he wears
his pain on his little
face. We have treated
Dusty with numerous
types of pain and
inflammation
modifying drugs
with no real
success, as well as
physiotherapy and
hydrotherapy.
Dusty’s owner
and I discussed in depth our next step
which had to be an MRI at St Georges Hospital
to determine whether Dusty was a surgical
candidate or not. Dusty’s owner is a nurse herself
and fully understands an accurate diagnosis is
crucial if we are to understand Dusty’s pain better
and do the best for him. Luckily it also helps to
have pet insurance, as MRI diagnostics and spinal
surgery are right up there in cost for the average
client. Dusty may make the move to the UK soon,
so I wanted to make real sure we were doing all
we could for him.
The staff at St Georges are helpful, knowledgable
and lovely with our canine patients. I regularly
travel with patients to sedate and monitor them
for their MRI which can
take up to an hour. It isn’t
painful but they have to

very still in order for the
radiologist to get good
pictures. Ear plugs are
inserted as the machinery
is very noisy.
In Dusty’s case, even I
could see the cause of
his severe pain. He had a
severe disc prolapse and
soft tissue hypertrophy at
the lumbosacral junction
( L7-S1) causing spinal
cord compression. His
L6-L7 disc space was also
moderately prolapsed.
The radiologist also
noted a congenital
abnormality of his aorta, an
incidental finding.
The surgeon in Auckland had access to this
MRI and could read the images. He concluded
that Dusty would benefit from spinal cord
decompression and stabilisation of the
lumbosacral disc space, which would allow Dusty
a far better quality of life.
The surgeon liased with Dusty’s owner
immediately and within weeks Dusty was flown
to Auckland for a referral consultation, operated
on successfully and is now
rehabilitating in Auckland post
operatively for 6 weeks, until the
follow up xrays show that there is
bony healing and stability of the
plates and screws. Dusty is also
receiving physiotherapy to help with
a quicker recovery.
A real success story for Dusty and his
family and it just goes to show that
the best veterinary medicine is often
a collaborative team effort, where our
primary objective is to successfully
cure, heal and care for our patients.
At McMaster & Heap we are also extremely lucky
to have the expertise and knowledge of Steve
Heap, in diagnosing and treating patients with Eye
diseases and Catherine Morganti, who regularly
preforms ultrasounds and endoscopy on cats
and dogs, allowing us more diagnostic options
to working up a sick patient. We also employ a
registered veterinary dentist, when required, to
perform root canal surgeries and pulpotomies on
teeth, when clients would rather save their dogs
teeth than us perform extractions.
Steve’s caseload at McMaster & Heap would be
80% eye referral work and much of this ends up
being operated on. Steve also
travels to Dunedin every 3 months
for 2 jammed packed days of eye
referral work and surgery. These
vets have invested time to develop
certain skills, knowledge and
expertise in a specialised area of
veterinary medicine and are of huge
help to us primary vets in providing
solutions and treatments with our
patients. We find our clients want
the best for their pets ( as we do) and
welcome referral vet services.
For any referral advice please contact
our Practice.

Mayor cops criticism
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
BURWOOD-Pegasus
Community Board members
have hit out at Mayor Lianne
Dalziel in frustration at a bid to
get more projects in the east up
and running.
The board’s submission to the
Annual Plan, which allocates
funding, included 21 projects
and problems for the eastern
suburbs that it wanted fixed.
Ms Dalziel sent a letter to
the board in response to their
submission, which was read at a
recent board meeting.
Of the 21 projects put forward,
only five were granted.
They included – $600,000 for
Marine Pde repairs, Waitikiri
Square landscaping, traffic
management around schools,
money from sale of 11.5 ha QE II
Park to Ministry of Education for
future developments; flexibility
over extra pool at the former QE
II site.
Board members said Ms Dalziel
showed very little support for its
proposals leaving the board “utterly
disappointed.”
Those projects that missed out
included upgrades of estuary
stop banks, a motor home dump
station in South New Brighton,
ring-fencing funds for additional
facilities at the Eastern Recreation
and Sports Centre.

IN ACTION: A group of five North Beach rowers took to the
water for an 87km fundraiser at the weekend.
12hr rowing fundraiser
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
FIVE NORTH Beach lifesavers
took 12 hours to complete an
epic 87km row – and raised
money to help save endangered
dolphins in the process.
The group took a 7m
traditional surf lifesaving row
boat to Akaroa on Saturday, and
made their way back to North
Beach.
Led by North Beach Surf
Lifesaving Club member Rob
McCaib, the group had a $3000
goal for the “kiwis of the sea”,
the hector’s dolphin and maui’s
dolphin.
“We have the North Beach
Surf Lifesaving Club’s 100th
anniversary in October, so [the
row was] sort of tied in with that,
and we’re also raising money to
save maui’s dolphins,” he said.
But they’ve well surpassed
their goal, as the team’s current
total sits at $9893, which
includes a $4500 donation from
Aqualine, a sponsor of the row.
Mr McCaib thought the row
could be the first time it has been
done in a surf lifesaving row
boat in a single day.
“I don’t know of anyone who
has done it before, at least not
in one day. It took us about 12
hours. At the halfway point we
swapped the driver, who steers
the boat, at Okains Bay and
then carried on from there,” he
said.
Through their row, the group
hope to gain exposure and draw
people to the givealittle page,
where they can donate to their
cause. Go to www.givealittle.

kiwi of the sea.

Candidates rebuild priorities
Which do you think should take priority in the
rebuild of the Burwood Ward – roading and
bridges, or decisions being made about the
future of the residential red zone? And why?
Which of these two options do you think the city
council will prioritise? And why?
Cruize
Erueti:
Burwood
Ward city
council
candidate
We have
all seen the
progress for
our roads and
bridges, whether we are happy
or unhappy about it, the decision
has already been made to prioritise
these works. We now have
an awesome opportunity to start
afresh and prioritise the red zone.
I stand in favour of an investment
into this zone and of supporting
great initiatives to lead our city
forward into a future of innovation
and self-sustainability, while
being aware of our carbon footprint.
If we manage to support
the right candidates into council,
we will have the means to push
forward into the future that our
city wants. This will take a strong
voice and work with the people.
Glenn
Livingstone:
Burwood
Ward city
councillor
candidate
Attending to
the basics first,
roading and
bridges should
take priority, although in some
cases, both go hand-in-hand.
New Brighton Rd, for instance,
may have to be pulled back and
elevated away from the river, in
conjunction with permanent stop
banks, as part of residential red
zone decisions. The council will
prioritise roads and bridges, in
association with NZTA, as joint
funders, as that is a core responsibility.
Though the council is
integrally bound up in decisions
over future residential red zone
use, it is Regeneration Christchurch’s
role to formulate plans, in
partnership with the community
and council.
Elections 16
Tim Baker:
Burwood
Ward
community
board
candidate
The city
council
doesn’t own
the red zone,
so decisions on this are not
ours. The city council can have
opinions and the board can be
involved with decisions. The city
council will need stop banks and
storm water retention basins
etc in the red zone. However, it
may be five years before the red
zone is physically started, or if
earlier in parts, it will be in small
parts of the red zone, possibly
Southshore. Therefore, in the immediate
future, the priority will
be roads.
Sela
Faletolu-
Fasi:
Burwood
Ward
community
board
candidate
The priority
of the rebuild
of the Burwood Ward should be
roading and bridges because it is
key to our transport infrastructure.
It is used by all residents
and others outside of the ward
to travel to and from work, and
bring together our community,
family and friends. Getting the
roads and bridges fixed first will
reduce transit times, congestion,
and bring a sense of normality
back to the area. I believe
city council will prioritise the
roads and bridges for the same
reasons, knowing that the red
zone is already in the process of
consultation and planning for
the future.

PEGASUS POST
Helping high school students excel
April McLennan is 19-years-old and has set up
her own trust to help high school students to
pursue and excel in work they are passionate
about. She spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding
about setting up her own social enterprise, life
being home-schooled and her trip to the Global
Entrepreneurship Summit in Palo Alto, United
States
You have set up an initiative to
help other Christchurch high
school students. Why did you
set up Limitless Charitable
Trust?
Last year was my final year of
school and I noticed so many
people I knew were overwhelmed
with career and study path options
and were unsure on what
way to go. At the same time I
knew people who did work they
were really passionate about and
were working to their strengths
and they could talk about their
jobs all day. I just thought how
cool it would be if we could all
do work we are that passionate
about.
How will this initiative set
you up for your ideal career?
Basically we have a two-part
programme and it is designed
to equip students with the confidence,
awareness and opportunities
to pursue what they are
passionate about. We are starting
year 10 students with a Limitless
Charitable Trust two-day conference
in October. That includes
talking to inspiring speakers.
We will have a diverse range of
speakers including Kiwibank
Young New Zealander of the
Year for 2015 Guy Ryan, Prime
Minister John Key’s chief science
adviser Dr Victoria Metcalf and
entrepreneur Hannah Duder.
The Zion Dance Studios will be
performing. After the conference
we will connect people to an
online portal. It will connect students
to opportunities that are
relevant to them. For instance if
they were passionate about the
environment and are looking for
work experience we can connect
them to the organisation.
Are high schools setting
students up well enough for the
workforce?
I think it is really challengingwe
do live in a world that is
rapidly changing. The workforce
is changing and it can be difficult
for a traditional school to keep
up with that. I feel that knowing
who you are, what your strengths
are and what your values are
important. It should be a priority
and that is why we are focusing
on that area. I think it is important
for students to know what it
is like to go to university.
Do you have a view on
NCEA?
Being home-schooled I haven’t
done NCEA but I feel that
maybe the biggest issue facing
education is that it is not just
academics that matters. It is your
people skills, it is your ability to
adapt which will be increasingly
relevant. I feel there is a real need
for a system that holistically addresses
all areas.
What was it like being homeschooled?
I guess it was really different.
I enjoyed it. I think the reason
I enjoyed it was because it gave
me the freedom to explore what I
was interested in. My high school
years were more like university.
Do you feel like you missed
out on the social side of high
school?
Being involved with lots of
groups and clubs didn’t mean I
missed out. It gives you an opportunity
to meet people from a wide
range of ages, backgrounds and
perspectives. You make an effort
to be part of those groups. I was
involved in World Vision New
Zealand groups which I meet a lot
of cool people through.
How has arranging the conference
been going?
It really stuck me in starting
INSPIRING: April McLennan, 19, has set up her own trust to
help high school students pursue jobs they are passionate
about.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Limitless how many generous
people are. We have got about
50 people who are speaking and
volunteering their time at the
conference. We are also a charitable
trust. I have three trustees
who have great experience in
their respective professions.
What got you interested in
social enterprise?
I went to the Festival For The
Future programme last year.
They bring together a whole
group of people who are innovators
or thinkers passionate about
a better future. Social enterprise
was talked a lot about there. A
lead-on from the Festival of the
Future was the programme Live
the Dream which is a social enterprise
accelerator programme.
You go into the programme with
a problem you see in the world
and in nine weeks they help you
develop a solution. Limitless is
what I developed over the summer
with the programme.
Tell me about your trip to
Palo Alto in June?
It was amazing. There were
incredible speakers. US President
Barack Obama and CEO of
Facebook Mark Zuckerberg
spoke. I also enjoyed meeting
entrepreneurs from around the
world and hearing about their
experiences. It was amazing
in spite of our differences how
much we have in common. After
the programme I connected with
people including a guy from
Montreal and a lady in Jordan
who had really similar enterprises
to Limitless.
What was the most inspiring
story or person you came
across?
I think meeting this lady from
Jordan who had been working
on a similar concept to Limitless.
Wanting to get girls on a
course she had been working on
for 15 years. She started with a
business that was separate to the
education system and now she is
creating curriculums that are being
used in the education system
and works with a big team. It was
cool how one idea has developed
and made an awesome impact.
Also hearing President Obama
was an obvious stand-out. A key
moment in my life. He spoke
about the biggest issues of today
and how he sees the entrepreneurial
spirit of being able to
start your own business to create
solutions to problems to where
you live. He spoke about how the
Government needs to step up
and make it easier for people to
start their own businesses.
What do you like to do in
your spare time when you are
not setting up new businesses?
I quite enjoy playing hockey
and photography and I am still
involved with World Vision. Just
spending time outdoors with
friends is what I love.

Sunny skies, mild temperatures and good snow made for another
great day for the annual Aranui High School ski and snowboard
trip to Mt Hutt. Students enjoyed the magic carpet ride on the
learners slope and some ventured higher up the mountain after a
lesson. Everyone enjoyed experiencing the mountain environment
and having fun in the snow.
Tongan Language Week celebrated
Malo e lelei. This year has been a
special year for Aranui as this is the
first time the school has celebrated
Tongan Language Week. There are
currently seven Tongan students and
one Tongan teacher at Aranui High.
There was a lot of help from students
and teachers who wanted to
be a part of the Tongan community,
which was awesome. The group
performed two Tongan songs at assembly.
It was very touching as this
is Aranui High School’s last year and
our first ever Tongan Language Week
celebration. Our Tongan community
has really made us proud.
Comedy duo tells of realising their dream
The 2016 Aranui High School formal
took place at the Linfield Rugby Clubrooms
on Friday, September 9.
This year’s theme was “Into the
Woods” and the venue was transformed
into a forest wonderland.
Students and staff enjoyed a night of
awesome music and food as well as
the chance to get down on the dance
floor and make some lasting memories
to take away.
The students looked amazing in their
finery and the teachers didn’t look
to shabby either. Much thanks to all
who helped make the night one to
remember.
A comedy duo called The Laughing Samoans visited Aranui
High School on Friday, September 16.
The whole school attended the performance, along with
students and staff from Wainoni School.
The duo, Ete and Tofiga, told their story of how they’ve
managed to achieve their dreams of being fulltime entertainers
through determination, perseverance and teamwork.
This message, along with the performance of a very funny
skit from their latest hit show called “Island Time”, was very
well received. The hour-long session was enjoyed by staff
and students, who all left the hall with huge smiles from the
experience.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | SEPTEMBER 2016
EQC confirms Canterbury staff numbers for 2017
The Earthquake Commission (EQC) has
confirmed the shape of the organisation
for 2017, including the number of positions
in Canterbury.
“As our work in Canterbury enters its final phase
in 2017, we will obviously need to be smaller.
From January 2017, EQC will be an organisation
of about 458 people. Of these, at least 216 will
be based in Christchurch,” EQC Chief Executive
Ian Simpson says.
“The new structure retains a core of specialist staff
who will continue to meet the needs of our
remaining Canterbury customers.
“In 2017, EQC will continue to resolve remedial
inquiries on properties where we have managed a
repair, and to resolve claims for drains damaged by
the earthquakes. There is also a range of
administrative and financial tasks to be completed,”
Mr Simpson says.
Remedial inquiries
An important focus for EQC in 2017 will be resolving
the remaining remedial inquiries from Canterbury
customers who have had a managed repair.
With about 68,000 managed repairs carried out as
part of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme
(CHRP) largely completed, EQC and Fletcher EQR
have jointly agreed a new approach to completing
the remaining remedial work in Canterbury.
From January 2017, EQC will expand its role
managing all remedial inquiries to include
management of any resulting remedial repairs.
This means it will liaise with customers and
contractors to complete any additional work, where
it’s required.
“The new approach will streamline decision making
by bringing all the elements of resolving remedial
inquiries into one organisation,” Mr Simpson says.
Fletcher has agreed to continue its role in 2017 but
likely with a smaller team and a focus on managing
any underfloor work arising from the joint CHRP
subfloor review. More detailed proposals on this
will be finalised over the next month or two.
As well as its work in Canterbury for 2017, EQC
needs to be ready to respond to any future natural
disaster events anywhere in New Zealand and
continue its work of negotiating and managing
natural disaster reinsurance for the country. EQC
will also continue settling the average 5,000 to
EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson
8,000 natural disaster claims received nationally
each year, funding research to the tune of $16
million per year, and educating the public on
natural hazards and how to mitigate them.
3,000 kids descend on the Alpine Fault
Expert Sam and teacher Shelley talk about tsunami risk on the West Coast.
EQC’s newest virtual field trip,
“Geohazards”, was launched
last month with 130 classes
taking part (that’s over 3,000
Kiwi kids). The CORE Education
LEARNZ virtual field trips allow
New Zealand’s school children to
visit some of our most fascinating
locations without having to leave
the classroom. From Cape
Reinga to the Bluff – we’ve got
you covered.
A LEARNZ teacher travels alongside
subject experts to go on location
and communicate their
experiences with students through
online video and audio feeds.
The trips are designed to help
improve understanding of
geohazards, how we as a nation
manage those hazards, and to raise
awareness of EQC’s role in helping
build New Zealand’s resilience.
Last month’s trip was the ninth
funded by EQC and it explored
earthquakes, landslips and tsunami
on the West Coast as well as what
might happen when the Alpine
Fault next ruptures.
On the Coast, LEARNZ teacher
Shelley Hersey joined Alistair
Davies, a natural hazards PhD
student from the University of
Canterbury, and Dr Sam Hampton,
organiser of geology field
programmes in New Zealand and
University of Canterbury lecturer.
They showed students where you
can see the Alpine Fault in the
landscape, they pointed out scars
created by past earthquakes and
explained how tsunami, in lakes as
well as the sea, could be triggered
by quakes.
All our field trips are created so
that teachers can continue to use
them anytime. To experience this
virtual field trip and more, visit

$25million paid out for Feb 2016 quake claims
The Earthquake Commission has passed the
halfway mark for settling the February 2016
earthquake claims, says EQC’s February
2016 Event Response Manager, Jayne Lapin.
Ms Lapin says that of the total 14,574
claims received for the 14 and 29 February
earthquakes this year, followed by the
aftershocks, EQC has resolved 8,595
by cash settlement of just over $25 million
as at 19 September.
“You can tell that Cantabrians know what is
and isn’t earthquake damage, because up to
75% of the claims received so far have been
accepted, and average $4,761 per claim.
“With the help of customers providing most
information up front – claims are taking an
average of three weeks to reach settlement.”
she said.
Ms Lapin says it is heartening to see that the new
approach which uses both on site and phonebased
assessments has empowered customers to
provide their earthquake damage data,
supported by photographs, was working well.
“We have been surveying every customer who
has been through the process and whose claims
have been resolved – whether their claims were
accepted or declined. We wanted to see how
the process worked so we could make changes
as we went where we needed to.
“To date, 87% agreed that EQC valued and used
their time wisely when dealing with them
through the claims process.
EQC will have contacted almost every customer
to discuss the details of their February claims by
the end of September to book their assessment.
“This means that, other than people who delay
their claim or whom we can’t get hold of, we will
meet our target to resolve all claims by the end of
2016, hopefully earlier,” Ms Lapin said.
EQC is continuing to work with customers who
have lodged claims from the Canterbury sequence
earthquakes, including those in the Canterbury
Home Repair (CHRP) and land programmes, and
the settlement of the February claims will not slow
the progress of these programmes.
EQC sets out
process for
remedial requests
The Earthquake Commission (EQC) has streamlined
its process for handling new remedial requests from
customers received from 1 August, 2016.
EQC’s Head of Dwelling Settlement, Michael Price, says
the new process aims for faster resolution with customers
having the opportunity to provide information upfront and
state their preference for a cash settlement or a managed
repair where remedial work is required.
The changes have been introduced after positive
customer feedback on the process used to manage
claims from the February 2016 earthquake, where
customers had the opportunity to submit more
information upfront to enable quicker turnaround.
“Many customers going through the February 2016
claims management process are positive or very positive
about their experience,” Mr Price says.
“EQC will now use this approach for new remedial
requests, and customers will be asked to send in
information such as photographs and builders’ quotes.”
Mr Price says while cash settlement will provide a quicker
resolution, it may not suit everyone.
“So if a customer prefers that a contractor do the work,
then EQC will arrange for that to happen during 2017.
EQC’s Community Contact Team and independent
customer advocate groups will be available to support
any cash-settled customers who aren’t confident in
sourcing their own contractors,” says Mr Price.
Of the approximate 6,900 open remedial requests
currently on EQC’s books, 3,000 properties have been
identified as not being able to have any remedial repair
completed before 2017. The new process, while largely
designed for new remedial requests, will be available to
these customers also and EQC is making contact with
them to ask if they would prefer a cash settlement or wait
for a managed repair during 2017.

Pianos
Inspired by old world craftsmanship and the artistry of Italian design,
Palatino takes its name from a central hill in Rome where ancient emperors
built their palaces. Palatino builds pianos based on the pursuit of “Quality
not Quantity.” With this mission in mind, we have imported the highest
quality components from around the world.
Canadian white spruce is imported for soundboards, Roslau strings from
Germany; beech wood from France for grand piano rims and Renner
hammers from Germany on the Concert Series pianos. These are all
components found in some of the most expensive pianos in the world.
Play one and see for yourself – from design to construction, from the
studio to the concert hall, Palatino is truly a World Class Piano.

Encouraging ExcEllEncE in our community
From the Deputy
Principal’s Desk
Whanau Evening
on Thursday 1 September, the school hosted over
110 people at a very significant Whanau and families
evening in the school hall.
The school’s ‘Building on Success’ Focus Team of
teachers, superbly led by Ms angela Marshall (art
and gaTe), designed, consulted about, and prepared
this evening as part of their work in engaging our
families, and building our relationships with them.
The focus, of course, is always to improve
communications with whanau and families, as we all
work to meet the learning, cultural, and other needs of our students.
The particular focus for this event was on strengthening our bonds with our Maori and
Pacific communities, including cook islands, Samoan, Tongan and Fijian indian families.
The evening began with a formal welcome to
everyone from Mr. Bell, Deputy Principal, and
Phoenix Neilson
then an introduction to our student leaders
for the evening, Kavita Pillay (Fijian indian
New Zealander), anahera Koopu (NZ Maori),
Phoenix Neilson (NZ Maori), and Sebastian
anae-ah Sue (Samoan New Zealander).
These young leaders ran the evening with
confidence and style, introducing items
and guest speakers, presenting karakia
(prayer) and orders of service for an amazing
three course meal, and, finally, providing
acknowledgments at the end.
Staff pitched in to help with food purchasing, preparation and service, the setting of
tables in the hall, and the all-important clean-up at the end of the evening.
our guests, henare Te aika (teacher at Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Whanau Tahi and
ex-pupil of Mairehau high) and alana Batcheler (Pacific liaison officer at university of
canterbury), spoke eloquently 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, which
enhanced a truly memorable evening.
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 our Maori and Pacific youth.
The school acknowledges the wonderful work of Ms. Marshall and the team of teachers,
trainee teachers, support staff and students who made this evening possible.

Jo Hayes National List MP based in Christchurch East
Overhaul of family violence laws
The Government’s review of the 20-year-old Domestic
Violence Act is resulting in sweeping changes to family
violence legislation.
Ministers and departments across 16 portfolios are
working together to redesign how New Zealand’s system
prevents and responds to family violence, Jo Hayes said.
“The fact is that we need to act sooner to keep victims
safe, and we need to act earlier to change perpetrator
behaviour.”
While reducing family violence incidents requires all
New Zealanders to think differently, Jo Hayes says that
the Government is taking the lead to drive change.
The legislation is intended to be introduced to Parliament
in early 2017.
Boost for Enviroschools
The Government is continuing to back its environmental
focus by confirming a further six-years’ funding to the
amount of $11.4 million for the Toimata Foundation,
which implements the Enviroschools and Te Aho Tu Roa
programmes.
Minister for the Environment Hon. Dr Nick Smith made
the announcement at Christchurch East’s Waitakiri School
on 30 August, with Associate Minister of Conservation
Hon. Nicky Wagner and Jo Hayes in attendance.
At the same time, the government released a refreshed
National Strategy for Environmental Education for public
feedback.
“The strategy focuses on strengthening environmental
work through science and linking to environmental
work outside of schools,” Jo Hayes said.
To have your say on the strategy, visit www.doc.govt.nz.
I’m Jo Hayes, National’s list MP based in Christchurch East.
I love being a part of this wonderful, tight-knit Christchurch East
community. There’s so much going on that I just want to share a few
highlights with you of what our community and Government are
working on achieving together.
Politicians make a sporting difference
Politicians ditched their suits for rugby shorts and netball skirts
in Christchurch on 3 September, to raise money for charity.
Parliamentary invitational
teams played Canterbury
Legends Teams in the
two sports, hosted at
Christ’s College. More
than $20,000 was raised
for local Christchurch
charities Hohepa Trust
and 0800 Hungry.
Christchurch East’s bumpy roads on CCC’s agenda
About a third of the $2.2 billion cost of fixing Christchurch’s
earthquake-damaged infrastructure has been spent in the city’s
east. About 10 per cent of the total bill has been spent on roads.
Whilst SCIRT will wind up at year’s end, Christchurch City Council
has budgeted $100 million over the next 10-years to smooth the
most bumpy roads across the city.
Get out and vote!
Your voting papers for local government elections should have
arrived in the post, and are due by 8 October. Jo Hayes says
it’s important to vote. “This is your opportunity to choose a local
government that will make big decisions about Christchurch over
the next three years, so you need to know who you are voting for.”
There’s even an app for that: visit www.ccc.govt.nz and download
“Celect” to access candidate profiles from your phone.
Celebrating culture in Christchurch
Jo Hayes was thrilled to
be invited to the national
launch of New Zealand
Chinese Language Week
at Avonhead School
on 11 September. “It’s
wonderful to see such
a bright and vibrant
celebration of the
different cultures and
ethnicities in our country.”
Let’s talk
Please come along and see me. I’ll be
parked in my van on 30 September at:

Tips for untreated
hearing loss
Hearing is a sense that many of us
take for granted. Throughout our lives, we
subject our ears to loud sounds–music,
power tools, lawn mowers, air travel–
without using ear protection. regrettably,
this can cause hearing loss. also, the
natural aging process generally results
in hearing loss. even certain illnesses
and medications can adversely affect our
hearing. Unfortunately, hearing loss that
occurs from such causes is permanent.
The good news is, even if you already
have a little hearing loss, it’s never too
late to preserve your hearing for the
years ahead. The first thing you can do is
protect your ears in noisy environments.
also, avoid using cotton swabs to clean
your ears. and, make it a priority to get
a baseline hearing screening to see if
hearing loss has already occurred.
if hearing loss is found during your
hearing evaluation, it could be due to
excess ear wax or infection. This type of
hearing loss is reversible. if hearing loss
stems from chronic exposure to loud
noise, aging, or certain illnesses and
medications, hearing aids are the best way
to preserve your good hearing.
The great news about today’s hearing
aids is how small and easy to wear they
are. Modern digital hearing aids use
super-tiny microprocessor technology–
making them virtually invisible when
worn. Hearing aids can help almost all
degrees of hearing loss–from a little to a
lot. and, by stimulating your brain with
sound that might not otherwise reach it,
hearing aids help keep your brain active,
which lowers your risk for cognitive
diseases, such as dementia.
if you suspect you may have hearing
loss, don’t ignore it. neglecting a hearing
loss can have a snowball effect–making it
grow bigger, faster than necessary.
Here are 10 ways you can limit hearing
damage and preserve good hearing:
1. Understand the sound levels of the
noises in your environment.
2. Learn about proper ear protection.
There are many kinds on the market
today, ranging from custom ear molds to
foam plugs and more.
3. Put physical distance between you
and loud noise when it is present. if
possible, stand at an angle from the noise,
not directly in front of it.
4. Take breaks when you are exposed
to noise.
5. When listening to music through
headphones or earbuds, keep the volume
low-to-medium.
6. Know the signs of hearing loss, and
measure yourself against them.
7. schedule a baseline hearing
evaluation. Hearing loss is on the rise
among Baby Boomers and young people.
it’s never too early to get your hearing
checked, but don’t wait past age 50.
8. Have your hearing evaluated by a
professional licensed by your state.
9. if you have hearing loss caused by a
reversible condition, take steps to
correct it.
10. if any permanent hearing loss is
diagnosed, choose hearing aids to slow it
down, and preserve good hearing.
it’s never too early to get your
hearing checked, but don’t wait
past age 50.

WANTED
THE shared title of the Christchurch Casino “The
Jazz Library” Charity Poker Event champion for
2016 went to REACH Child Cancer represented by
Nick Henare and to Heart Kids Canterbury
represented by Pat Lodge. Lynne Taylor took an
admirable third place on behalf of the Diabetes
Christchurch Inc.
The Jazz Library Charity Poker Event was held
by Christchurch Casino with $10,000 up for grabs
for the eleven deserving charities to play for. The
event was held on Thursday 15th September in
Sixty6 on Peterborough. The multipurpose
function venue had a prohibition theme with a
library at the front entrance and a speak-easy
below, including “Myrtle”, the 1929 Austin 7C- Cab
Van from by Happy Tours and scintillating
dancing and entertainment throughout the
evening by the talented Epic Entertainment team.
The invited guests in their 1920’s & 30’s
ensembles relaxed with the sultry jazz tones of the
“River City Jazz Men” and enjoyed learning to play
black jack and roulette with some even testing
their croupier skills, all of which combined to
create a fun atmosphere throughout the evening
and a memorable occasion. Mike King was a
masterful MC, adding humour, energy and poker
knowledge to the tournament.
With $10,000 at stake for three lucky charities,
competition at the tables was fierce as even though
this was a fun gaming event the players soon
realised they were playing in a structured poker
tournament and got their game faces on! The top
eleven players then competed at the final table to
play off for the top three spots to take home the
cash for their charity; finalists only found out
who they were playing on behalf of once they had
played their last chip – creating an exciting energy
amongst players and viewers alike.
The eleven charities who were represented at
this event were the Cystic Fibrosis Association,
Ronald McDonald House, Child Cancer
