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

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

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

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

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

The hub is staffed by agencies like<br />
the city council, Development<br />
Christchurch Ltd, and Regenerate<br />
Christchurch. The hub will be<br />
open Monday to Friday, from<br />

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

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

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

Fire station move<br />
•From page 1<br />
New Brighton Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade secretary<br />
Ruth Kenny said it was<br />
sad to be moving away<br />
from Hawke St, where the<br />
station had been since the<br />
1960s.<br />
“It’s been quite a while.<br />
We’ve actually been in<br />
New Brighton since 1908.<br />
So we have a very proud<br />
history of being here, one<br />
of our guys said we’re not<br />

“Even though they’ve<br />
lost a lot, they’ve been<br />
pretty positive and we’re<br />
very excited too. At the<br />
end of the day, it will help<br />
us provide a better service<br />
to them,” she said.<br />
Meanwhile, the New<br />
Brighton station also<br />
ran a charity car wash<br />
fundraiser to help a fellow<br />
firefighter on Saturday.<br />
The New Brighton station<br />
jumped at the chance<br />
to raise funds for a cure<br />
to mitochondrial disease<br />
to help out Hamilton firefighter<br />
John Parker.<br />
Mitochondrial disease<br />
is an illness which<br />
causes loss of control over<br />
muscles and physical disabilities,<br />
and is the reason<br />
Mr Parker’s son died<br />
recently. There is currently<br />
no known cure for the<br />
disease.<br />
New Brighton was one<br />
of 16 brigades around the<br />
country to get involved<br />
with the charity car<br />
washes.<br />

Mayor cops criticism<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
BURWOOD-<strong>Pegasus</strong><br />
Community Board members<br />
have hit out at Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel in frustration at a bid to<br />
get more projects in the east up<br />
and running.<br />
The board’s submission to the<br />
Annual Plan, which allocates<br />
funding, included 21 projects<br />
and problems for the eastern<br />
suburbs that it wanted fixed.<br />
Ms Dalziel sent a letter to<br />
the board in response to their<br />
submission, which was read at a<br />
recent board meeting.<br />
Of the 21 projects put forward,<br />
only five were granted.<br />
They included – $600,000 for<br />
Marine Pde repairs, Waitikiri<br />
Square landscaping, traffic<br />
management around schools,<br />
money from sale of 11.5 ha QE II<br />
Park to Ministry of Education for<br />
future developments; flexibility<br />
over extra pool at the former QE<br />
II site.<br />
Board members said Ms Dalziel<br />
showed very little support for its<br />
proposals leaving the board “utterly<br />
disappointed.”<br />
Those projects that missed out<br />
included upgrades of estuary<br />
stop banks, a motor home dump<br />
station in South New Brighton,<br />
ring-fencing funds for additional<br />
facilities at the Eastern Recreation<br />
and Sports Centre.<br />
HOT TOPIC: The stop banks lining the estuary will not have a<br />
budget assigned to them until next year. Inset: Lianne Dalziel <br />
Community board chairwoman<br />
Andrea Cummings said there need,” she said.<br />
Santa’s lap asking for stuff we<br />

front of projects than there was comment”.<br />
progress made.<br />
“But it doesn’t seem to take<br />
“[I’m] disappointed that we’ve into account all the projects that<br />
only just got the information were approved in the Annual<br />

results. I thought our Ward. There will be a much bet-<br />
Plan for the Burwood-<strong>Pegasus</strong><br />
submission was pragmatic and ter process next year,” she said.<br />
reasoned.<br />
Burwood-<strong>Pegasus</strong> Ward city<br />
“We didn’t get anything we councillors Glenn Livingstone<br />
actually asked for really. Makes and David East would not comment<br />
specifically on their views<br />
me wonder why we went to the<br />
effort,” she said.<br />
of Ms Dalziel’s letter.<br />
Board member Linda Stewart Cr Livingstone said this year’s<br />
said the board was “utterly disappointed”<br />
with the outcome of the blame, and was in parts “sham-<br />
Annual Plan process was to<br />
letter.<br />
bolic”.<br />
“What we did get was from Cr East said it is the board<br />
historical submissions, not what members who make the submission<br />
on the plan, and it was<br />
we wanted. A dump station in<br />
New Brighton is a sensible decision.<br />
We feel like kids sitting on<br />

Beach.<br />
Led by North Beach Surf<br />
Lifesaving Club member Rob<br />
McCaib, the group had a $3000<br />
goal for the “kiwis of the sea”,<br />
the hector’s dolphin and maui’s<br />
dolphin.<br />
“We have the North Beach<br />
Surf Lifesaving Club’s 100th<br />
anniversary in October, so [the<br />
row was] sort of tied in with that,<br />
and we’re also raising money to<br />
save maui’s dolphins,” he said.<br />
But they’ve well surpassed<br />
their goal, as the team’s current<br />
total sits at $9893, which<br />
includes a $4500 donation from<br />
Aqualine, a sponsor of the row.<br />
Mr McCaib thought the row<br />
could be the first time it has been<br />
done in a surf lifesaving row<br />
boat in a single day.<br />
“I don’t know of anyone who<br />
has done it before, at least not<br />
in one day. It took us about 12<br />
hours. At the halfway point we<br />
swapped the driver, who steers<br />
the boat, at Okains Bay and<br />
then carried on from there,” he<br />
said.<br />
Through their row, the group<br />
hope to gain exposure and draw<br />
people to the givealittle page,<br />
where they can donate to their<br />
cause. Go to www.givealittle.<br />
co.nz and search for saving our<br />

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

Fasi:<br />
Burwood<br />
Ward<br />
community<br />
board<br />
candidate<br />
The priority<br />
of the rebuild<br />
of the Burwood Ward should be<br />
roading and bridges because it is<br />
key to our transport infrastructure.<br />
It is used by all residents<br />
and others outside of the ward<br />
to travel to and from work, and<br />
bring together our community,<br />
family and friends. Getting the<br />
roads and bridges fixed first will<br />
reduce transit times, congestion,<br />
and bring a sense of normality<br />
back to the area. I believe<br />
city council will prioritise the<br />
roads and bridges for the same<br />
reasons, knowing that the red<br />
zone is already in the process of<br />
consultation and planning for<br />
the future.<br />

Balance between our eastern<br />

need transparent community<br />

in evaluating the rowing<br />
lake because of opportunities to<br />
attract water sports and its potential<br />
to address local flooding<br />
concerns. Last term’s experience<br />
tells me council will place more<br />
importance on minimal investment.<br />

Our People<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
Helping high school students excel<br />
April McLennan is 19-years-old and has set up<br />
her own trust to help high school students to<br />
pursue and excel in work they are passionate<br />
about. She spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
about setting up her own social enterprise, life<br />
being home-schooled and her trip to the Global<br />
Entrepreneurship Summit in Palo Alto, United<br />
States<br />
You have set up an initiative to<br />
help other Christchurch high<br />
school students. Why did you<br />
set up Limitless Charitable<br />
Trust?<br />
Last year was my final year of<br />
school and I noticed so many<br />
people I knew were overwhelmed<br />
with career and study path options<br />
and were unsure on what<br />
way to go. At the same time I<br />
knew people who did work they<br />
were really passionate about and<br />
were working to their strengths<br />
and they could talk about their<br />
jobs all day. I just thought how<br />
cool it would be if we could all<br />
do work we are that passionate<br />
about.<br />
How will this initiative set<br />
you up for your ideal career?<br />
Basically we have a two-part<br />
programme and it is designed<br />
to equip students with the confidence,<br />
awareness and opportunities<br />
to pursue what they are<br />
passionate about. We are starting<br />
year 10 students with a Limitless<br />
Charitable Trust two-day conference<br />
in October. That includes<br />
talking to inspiring speakers.<br />
We will have a diverse range of<br />
speakers including Kiwibank<br />
Young New Zealander of the<br />
Year for 2015 Guy Ryan, Prime<br />
Minister John Key’s chief science<br />
adviser Dr Victoria Metcalf and<br />
entrepreneur Hannah Duder.<br />
The Zion Dance Studios will be<br />
performing. After the conference<br />
we will connect people to an<br />
online portal. It will connect students<br />
to opportunities that are<br />
relevant to them. For instance if<br />
they were passionate about the<br />
environment and are looking for<br />
work experience we can connect<br />
them to the organisation.<br />
Are high schools setting<br />
students up well enough for the<br />
workforce?<br />
I think it is really challengingwe<br />
do live in a world that is<br />
rapidly changing. The workforce<br />
is changing and it can be difficult<br />
for a traditional school to keep<br />
up with that. I feel that knowing<br />
who you are, what your strengths<br />
are and what your values are<br />
important. It should be a priority<br />
and that is why we are focusing<br />
on that area. I think it is important<br />
for students to know what it<br />
is like to go to university.<br />
Do you have a view on<br />
NCEA?<br />
Being home-schooled I haven’t<br />
done NCEA but I feel that<br />
maybe the biggest issue facing<br />
education is that it is not just<br />
academics that matters. It is your<br />
people skills, it is your ability to<br />
adapt which will be increasingly<br />
relevant. I feel there is a real need<br />
for a system that holistically addresses<br />
all areas.<br />
What was it like being homeschooled?<br />
I guess it was really different.<br />
I enjoyed it. I think the reason<br />
I enjoyed it was because it gave<br />
me the freedom to explore what I<br />
was interested in. My high school<br />
years were more like university.<br />
Do you feel like you missed<br />
out on the social side of high<br />
school?<br />
Being involved with lots of<br />
groups and clubs didn’t mean I<br />
missed out. It gives you an opportunity<br />
to meet people from a wide<br />
range of ages, backgrounds and<br />
perspectives. You make an effort<br />
to be part of those groups. I was<br />
involved in World Vision New<br />
Zealand groups which I meet a lot<br />
of cool people through.<br />
How has arranging the conference<br />
been going?<br />
It really stuck me in starting<br />

about.<br />

Limitless how many generous<br />
people are. We have got about<br />
50 people who are speaking and<br />
volunteering their time at the<br />
conference. We are also a charitable<br />
trust. I have three trustees<br />
who have great experience in<br />
their respective professions.<br />
What got you interested in<br />
social enterprise?<br />
I went to the Festival For The<br />
Future programme last year.<br />
They bring together a whole<br />
group of people who are innovators<br />
or thinkers passionate about<br />
a better future. Social enterprise<br />
was talked a lot about there. A<br />
lead-on from the Festival of the<br />
Future was the programme Live<br />
the Dream which is a social enterprise<br />
accelerator programme.<br />
You go into the programme with<br />
a problem you see in the world<br />
and in nine weeks they help you<br />
develop a solution. Limitless is<br />
what I developed over the summer<br />
with the programme.<br />
Tell me about your trip to<br />
Palo Alto in June?<br />
It was amazing. There were<br />
incredible speakers. US President<br />
Barack Obama and CEO of<br />
Facebook Mark Zuckerberg<br />
spoke. I also enjoyed meeting<br />
entrepreneurs from around the<br />
world and hearing about their<br />
experiences. It was amazing<br />
in spite of our differences how<br />
much we have in common. After<br />
the programme I connected with<br />
people including a guy from<br />
Montreal and a lady in Jordan<br />
who had really similar enterprises<br />
to Limitless.<br />
What was the most inspiring<br />
story or person you came<br />
across?<br />
I think meeting this lady from<br />
Jordan who had been working<br />
on a similar concept to Limitless.<br />
Wanting to get girls on a<br />
course she had been working on<br />
for 15 years. She started with a<br />
business that was separate to the<br />
education system and now she is<br />
creating curriculums that are being<br />
used in the education system<br />
and works with a big team. It was<br />
cool how one idea has developed<br />
and made an awesome impact.<br />
Also hearing President Obama<br />
was an obvious stand-out. A key<br />
moment in my life. He spoke<br />
about the biggest issues of today<br />
and how he sees the entrepreneurial<br />
spirit of being able to<br />
start your own business to create<br />
solutions to problems to where<br />
you live. He spoke about how the<br />
Government needs to step up<br />
and make it easier for people to<br />
start their own businesses.<br />
What do you like to do in<br />
your spare time when you are<br />
not setting up new businesses?<br />
I quite enjoy playing hockey<br />
and photography and I am still<br />
involved with World Vision. Just<br />
spending time outdoors with<br />
friends is what I love.<br />

Tongan Language Week celebrated<br />
Malo e lelei. This year has been a<br />
special year for Aranui as this is the<br />
first time the school has celebrated<br />
Tongan Language Week. There are<br />
currently seven Tongan students and<br />
one Tongan teacher at Aranui High.<br />
There was a lot of help from students<br />
and teachers who wanted to<br />
be a part of the Tongan community,<br />
which was awesome. The group<br />
performed two Tongan songs at assembly.<br />
It was very touching as this<br />
is Aranui High School’s last year and<br />
our first ever Tongan Language Week<br />
celebration. Our Tongan community<br />
has really made us proud.<br />

into a forest wonderland.<br />
Students and staff enjoyed a night of<br />
awesome music and food as well as<br />
the chance to get down on the dance<br />
floor and make some lasting memories<br />
to take away.<br />
The students looked amazing in their<br />
finery and the teachers didn’t look<br />
to shabby either. Much thanks to all<br />
who helped make the night one to<br />
remember.<br />
A comedy duo called The Laughing Samoans visited Aranui<br />
High School on Friday, <strong>September</strong> 16.<br />
The whole school attended the performance, along with<br />
students and staff from Wainoni School.<br />
The duo, Ete and Tofiga, told their story of how they’ve<br />
managed to achieve their dreams of being fulltime entertainers<br />
through determination, perseverance and teamwork.<br />
This message, along with the performance of a very funny<br />
skit from their latest hit show called “Island Time”, was very<br />
well received. The hour-long session was enjoyed by staff<br />
and students, who all left the hall with huge smiles from the<br />
experience.<br />

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

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

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

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

august 3 and august 15. They had eSol<br />
(english for speakers of other languages)<br />
classes here at school and attended our other<br />
subject classes along with their kiwi buddies.<br />
They enjoyed performing in our talent quest<br />
and we had a farewell party on august 12.<br />
Thank you to the students who acted as<br />
buddies, to the homestay families, and to our<br />
staff for ensuring that this visit was a success.<br />

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

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

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