Plan for Brougham St bottleneck<br />
NZTA moves<br />
to ease<br />
congestion<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ONE OF the city’s busiest roads<br />
is set to have its congestion issues<br />
addressed.<br />
Brougham St “corridor improvements”<br />
have been included<br />
in the draft transport agency<br />
investment proposal <strong>2018</strong>-27<br />
released by the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency.<br />
About 44,000 vehicles,<br />
including 5000<br />
freight, use the<br />
thoroughfare<br />
from the Selwyn<br />
district to<br />
Lyttelton Port<br />
each day.<br />
“The<br />
Brougham St,<br />
Jim Harland<br />
State Highway<br />
76 project is<br />
identified as a<br />
proposed activity, which means<br />
it will continue to be developed,<br />
subject to its new alignment with<br />
the Government policy statement<br />
on land transport priorities,”<br />
NZTA direction regional relationships<br />
Jim Harland said.<br />
The proposal includes a<br />
budget of between $10<br />
million-$100 million for the<br />
upgrades to increase flow along<br />
the street.<br />
The work would be completed<br />
before 2021, while a detailed<br />
business case and design<br />
would begin when the plan<br />
was approved by Environment<br />
Canterbury’s regional transport<br />
committee before August 31.<br />
The plan said NZTA will work<br />
with partners, including the<br />
city council and Selwyn District<br />
Council, to “investigate appropriate<br />
solutions” to congestion along<br />
Brougham St to the Rolleston<br />
Corridor, which connects Selwyn<br />
to the Lyttelton Port.<br />
“Doing so will improve customer<br />
access between the south<br />
of the city to Lyttelton Port<br />
and help reduce congestion in<br />
Christchurch’s south-western<br />
suburbs,” the plan said.<br />
It comes as last week’s <strong>Southern</strong><br />
<strong>View</strong> reported, Selwyn <strong>May</strong>or<br />
Sam Broughton had raised<br />
concerns about congestion on the<br />
motorway during the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan hearings.<br />
Mr Broughton said he anticipates<br />
congestion will get worse<br />
the longer the corridor is left as<br />
it is.<br />
“The southern end of the motorway<br />
connecting to Brougham<br />
St is a major cause of transport<br />
delays to the wider travelling<br />
public, which is expected to<br />
get worse as time goes on,” Mr<br />
CONGESTION:<br />
Brougham St has<br />
been identified as<br />
in need of corridor<br />
improvements by<br />

HUNTER<br />
Broughton said.<br />
This was inevitable with the<br />
expected population increases in<br />
both Selwyn and Christchurch,<br />
he said.<br />
City council manager planning<br />
and delivery transport<br />
Lynette Ellis said it would work<br />
with NZTA to “effectively and<br />
efficiently” keep the transport<br />
network running, including<br />
Brougham St.<br />

IT’S ABOUT time big retailers did their part to tackle the global<br />
issue of plastic waste.<br />
Countdown Ferrymead will go plastic bag-free on Monday<br />
(see page 3).<br />
It is one of 10 Countdown stores making the move throughout<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The stores will be used to test the change and gather customer<br />
feedback before further changes are made to all 182 stores.<br />
Customers will have to take their own bags, buckets or boxes<br />
to carry their shopping.<br />
It may take a while to get used to, but habits can be changed<br />
and soon enough we will learn to take our own bags.<br />
It’s a great step in the right direction and I hope more businesses<br />
will follow.<br />

Supermarket goes plastic bag-free<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
Kiri Hannifin<br />
COUNTDOWN Ferrymead<br />
will go plastic-bag free on<br />
Monday.<br />
It’s one of 10 supermarkets<br />
nationwide the company has<br />
chosen would be single-use plastic<br />
bag-free by the start of June.<br />
Customers at the Ferrymead<br />
store will need to bring their<br />
own “bags, or bucket or box<br />
. . . whatever they want,” said<br />
Countdown<br />
general manager<br />
corporate<br />
affairs, Kiri<br />
Hannifin.<br />
Since it announced<br />
its decision<br />
to phase<br />
out single-use<br />
plastic carrier<br />
bags last year, Countdown<br />
customers had already reduced<br />
their use of plastic bags by just<br />
over 16 per cent, she said.<br />
“We’re really heartened so<br />
many of our customers are<br />
already really committed to using<br />
less plastic when they shop<br />
with us. However, we know the<br />
biggest barrier to change is to<br />
get into a new habit of bringing<br />
your own bags. We’re starting<br />
to talk with customers in these<br />
first 10 stores now and are really<br />
looking forward to helping them<br />
make the switch as easily as<br />
possible.”<br />
Countdown is moving to get<br />
rid of the environmentallydamaging<br />
bags in the 10 supermarkets<br />
across the country by<br />
Christmas.<br />
The others are in Blenheim,<br />
Auckland, Wellington, Gisborne,<br />
Dargaville and Whanganui.<br />
Selected stores represent a<br />
range of sizes, checkout and<br />
bag carousel layouts, cities and<br />
smaller towns, said Ms Hannifin.<br />
They would be used to test<br />

“If (customers) get caught<br />
short, our popular black reusable<br />
bags are just $1. We’ll also<br />
have other alternatives available<br />
which you’ll see after <strong>May</strong> 21.”<br />
What shoppers<br />
are saying<br />
Lisa Brignull,<br />
of Mt<br />
Pleasant:<br />
“It is a great<br />
idea that we<br />
shall use<br />
fewer plastic<br />
bags with<br />
less waste,<br />
especially on the hills where I<br />
run. It can only be a good thing<br />
and yes, I shall use my own<br />
bags.”<br />
Jeremy<br />
Smith, of<br />
Ferrymead:<br />
“I guess that it<br />
is a good idea<br />
as something<br />
has to be<br />
done to get<br />
rid of the<br />
plastic in the oceans. I usually<br />
forget to bring my bags as I<br />
usually don’t buy a lot, and<br />
I am able to carry most of it.<br />
Boxes of beer have handles<br />
anyway.”<br />

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart<br />
by Holly ringland<br />
The most enchanting debut novel of <strong>2018</strong>, this is an irresistible, deeply moving and<br />
romantic story of a young girl, daughter of an abusive father, who has to learn the hard way<br />
that she can break the patterns of the past, live on her own terms and find her own strength.<br />
After her family suffers a tragedy, nine-year-old Alice Hart is forced to leave her idyllic seaside<br />
home. She is taken in by her grandmother, June, a flower farmer who raises Alice on the<br />
language of Australian native flowers, a way to say the things that are too hard to speak.<br />
Under the watchful eye of June and the women who run the farm, Alice settles, but grows<br />
up increasingly frustrated by how little she knows of her family’s story. In her early twenties,<br />
Alice’s life is thrown into upheaval again when she suffers devastating betrayal and loss.<br />
Desperate to outrun grief, Alice flees to the dramatically beautiful central Australian desert. In<br />
this otherworldly landscape Alice thinks she has found solace, until she meets a charismatic<br />
and ultimately dangerous man.<br />
Spanning two decades, set between sugar cane fields by the sea, a native Australian flower<br />
farm, and a celestial crater in the central desert, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart follows Alice’s<br />
unforgettable journey, as she learns that the most powerful story she will ever possess is<br />
her own.<br />
Hunting El Chapo:<br />
Taking Down the World’s Most-Wanted Drug Lord<br />
by Andrew Hogan, douglas Century<br />
This is the incredible story of D.E.A. Special Agent Andrew Hogan’s seven-year-long<br />
chase to capture El Chapo, a multibillionaire drug-lord and escape-artist posing as<br />
a Mexican Robin Hood, who in reality was a brutal sociopath responsible for the<br />
murders of thousands. His greedy campaign to take over his rivals’ territories resulted<br />
in an unprecedented war with a body count of over 100,000.<br />
This intimate thriller tells how Hogan single-mindedly and methodically climbed the<br />
ladder within the hierarchy of the Sinaloa Cartel – the world’s wealthiest and most<br />
powerful drug-trafficking organization – by creating one of the most sophisticated<br />
undercover operations in the history of the D.E.A. From infiltrating Chapo’s inner circle<br />
to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with an elite brigade of Mexican Marines, Hogan<br />
left no stone unturned in his hunt for the world’s most powerful drug kingpin.<br />
Dictatorland: The Men Who Stole Africa<br />
by Paul Kenyon<br />
The dictator who grew so rich on his country’s cocoa crop that he built a 35-storeyhigh<br />
basilica in the jungles of the Ivory Coast. The austere, incorruptible leader who<br />
has shut Eritrea off from the world in a permanent state of war and conscripted every<br />
adult into the armed forces. In Equatorial Guinea, the paranoid despot who thought<br />
Hitler was the saviour of Africa and waged a relentless campaign of terror against<br />
his own people. The Libyan army officer who authored a new work of political<br />
philosophy, The Green Book, and lived in a tent with a harem of female soldiers,<br />
running his country like a mafia family business.<br />
And behind these almost incredible stories of fantastic violence and excess lie the<br />
dark secrets of Western greed and complicity, the insatiable taste for chocolate,<br />
oil, diamonds and gold that have encouraged dictators to rule with an iron hand,<br />
siphoning off their share of the action into mansions in Paris and banks in Zurich and<br />
keeping their people in dire poverty.<br />

School decision fuels debate<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE ARM-WRESTLE over a<br />
new site for Redcliffs School has<br />
heated up again.<br />
Greater Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan Woods<br />
has given approval for changes<br />
to the District Plan, allowing the<br />
school to be built on Redcliffs<br />
Park.<br />
Friends of<br />
Redcliffs Park<br />
spokesman<br />
Chris Doudney<br />
said the minister<br />
had got it<br />
wrong.<br />
“I suspect the<br />
Kate<br />
McClelland<br />
Darren<br />
Fidler<br />
information<br />
she was given<br />
was limited and<br />
she would have<br />
been limited<br />
as to what she<br />
could base her<br />
decision on.<br />
Very much the<br />
same as the<br />
community<br />
board hearing<br />
last August<br />
where our own submission<br />
couldn’t be received or discussed<br />
because the scope of the<br />
argument was limited to considering<br />
the school on the park.”<br />
He said they wanted to get<br />
more information about the<br />
basis for the minister’s decision.<br />
For seven years the school has<br />
been operating from the Van<br />
Asch campus in Sumner, after<br />
earthquake-generated rockfall<br />
at its former site.<br />
In March 20<strong>15</strong> the Government<br />
proposed the school’s closure<br />
but following community<br />
outcry, it agreed in June 2016 to<br />
return the school to Redcliffs –<br />
provided it be established on a<br />
different site.<br />
Deputy principal Kate Mc-<br />
Clelland was “thrilled” the<br />
school will be rebuilt at Redcliffs<br />
Park.<br />
Said Ms McClelland: “After<br />
seven years we’re very excited to<br />
be finally able to return to our<br />
home in Redcliffs. After all the<br />
work that’s been done working<br />
towards this day, we’re thrilled.”<br />
Families and pupils were<br />
notified yesterday morning,<br />
shortly after the decision was<br />
announced.<br />
Board of trustees chairman<br />
Darren Fidler was “happy and<br />
CHANGE:<br />
Greater<br />
Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan<br />
Woods has<br />
approved the<br />
rezoning of<br />
Redcliffs Park<br />
as a school.<br />
relieved” at the news.<br />
“We can finally get back. It’s<br />
been a long seven years.”<br />
He said it had been an open<br />
and transparent process.<br />
“The minister put out all the<br />
information that she used to<br />
inform her decision so the due<br />
process has been followed . . .<br />
we’re looking forward to getting<br />
back to the core business of<br />
educating kids. That’s all we’ve<br />
ever wanted to do and this has<br />
been a massive distraction from<br />
that.”<br />

Planting day<br />
planned<br />
for reserve<br />
A PUBLIC planting and gala day<br />
at Charlesworth Reserve will help<br />
establish native trees and shrubs<br />
in the area.<br />
The reserve is being gradually<br />
developed to re-establish estuaryedge<br />
ecosystem features like saltmeadow,<br />
salt-marsh and coastal<br />
bush.<br />
At present these are either very<br />
rare around the estuary or nonexistent.<br />
Work thus far has included<br />
planting of coastal bush,<br />
installation of culverts to allow<br />
tidal flows to enter the reserve,<br />
development of walking tracks<br />
and bridges, a predator trapping<br />
programme and installation of<br />
new signage.<br />
Support for the project has<br />
come from Trees for Canterbury,<br />
the city council and the Avon-<br />

Chorus sings its way to 11th national title<br />
WINNING IS now second<br />
nature for the Christchurch<br />
City Chorus, which recently<br />
took home first place at the<br />
national Sweet Adelines<br />
competition, for the 11th<br />
time.<br />
The group has finished first<br />
in every national barbershop<br />
competition they have entered<br />
since forming in 1987,<br />
titling themselves the “All<br />
Blacks of singing.”<br />
Singing under the direction<br />
of musical director, Virginia<br />
Humphrey-Taylor, the team<br />
is made up of 130 women,<br />
mainly from Christchurch.<br />
In this year’s competition<br />
held earlier this month, contestants<br />
were assessed by four<br />
international judges from the<br />
United States and Sweden.<br />
Said musical director<br />
Virginia Humphrey-Taylor:<br />
“The judges were excited to<br />
see a performance of such a<br />
high international level. The<br />
beautiful singing and the<br />
high energy field that was<br />
delivered was thoroughly<br />
enjoyed.”<br />
“The women’s chorus has<br />
worked hard for the win, impressing<br />
the judges with their<br />
vocal skills and barbershop<br />

Cashmere High student<br />
gets boost to achieve goals<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
CASHMERE HIGH School<br />
student Montana Brown’s desire<br />
to try new things has her on<br />
the path to representing New<br />
Zealand in wheelchair racing.<br />
The talented <strong>15</strong>-year-old paraathlete,<br />
who has cerebral palsy<br />
and spastic diplegia, has recently<br />
fallen in love with the sport and<br />
now dedicates a lot of her spare<br />
time to training.<br />
Already an avid target shooter<br />
and boccia player, it is her wheelchair<br />
racing which is starting to<br />
turn heads.<br />
Montana, who lives in Lincoln,<br />
has been awarded a Gold Heart<br />
Scholarship from children’s charity,<br />
Variety, worth up to the value<br />
of $5000.<br />
Having only taken up the sport<br />
in October, Montana has already<br />
competed at the Halberg Junior<br />
Disability Games, where she<br />
finished third in the 50m race<br />
and second in both the 100m and<br />
200m races.<br />
Montana is currently using a<br />
borrowed wheelchair from ParaFed<br />
Canterbury, which is not<br />
quite right for her size.<br />
FAST TRACK: Cashmere High School’s Montana Brown has<br />
taken to wheelchair racing quickly and has been awarded a<br />
scholarship from Variety to continue her progression.<br />
She will be using this funding<br />
to assist in the purchase of a<br />
purpose-built wheelchair of her<br />
own.<br />
“I really love the sport,” she<br />
says. “When I race, it’s a lot of<br />
effort through my arms and I<br />
often come back with big bruises<br />
but that’s okay because they look<br />
really cool.<br />
Montana credits both ParaFed<br />
Canterbury and Cashmere High<br />
School’s conductive education<br />
programme for allowing her<br />
to have so many sporting<br />
opportunities. Conductive<br />
education is an educational<br />
system developed in Hungary in<br />
the 1940s.<br />
Its objective is to enable<br />
physically disabled and multidisabled<br />
individuals to actively<br />
participate in society by means of<br />
intensive and systematic training<br />
and practice.<br />
Montana said she would<br />
like to represent New Zealand<br />
in the sprint distances of<br />
wheelchair racing at both the<br />
Commonwealth Games and<br />
Paralympics one day soon.<br />
“Having watched the racing<br />
at the Commonwealth Games<br />
(earlier this year), it’s motivated<br />
me to keep training hard and<br />
keep improving.<br />
Bamford School<br />
scarecrow wins pupils<br />
$800 from Oderings<br />
BAMFORD SCHOOL has won<br />
$800 in gardening vouchers<br />
and supplies after entering the<br />
Oderings Garden Centres Snap a<br />
Scarecrow competition.<br />
The school’s scarecrow,<br />
constructed by new entrant<br />
pupils, received 2007 online<br />
votes, just over 13 times the total<br />
roll count of the school, which<br />
sits at <strong>15</strong>0 pupils.<br />
“The garden plays a big role at<br />
Bamford School . . . the students<br />
take part in gardening club<br />
and are allowed to take home<br />
anything they are able to find.”<br />
Teacher Kendra Horne said the<br />
WINNERS:<br />
Pupils from<br />
Bamford School<br />

Oderings Snap<br />
A Scarecrow<br />
competition.<br />
win was amazing for the school<br />
and the gardening supplies will<br />
be well-used.<br />
“The more resources we<br />
have for every child to be<br />
engaged in the garden the<br />
better. A big thank you to our<br />
school and wider community for<br />
all their hard efforts throughout<br />
the competition,” said Miss<br />
Horne.<br />
“As a small school, this activity<br />
was more about the experience<br />
of building the scarecrow and<br />
learning about why they are<br />
needed in the garden than<br />
actually winning.”<br />

Emily Carswell is Kip McGrath Barrington’s star student for April. Emily attends<br />
Thorrington School where she is in year 6. Her tutor Ashleigh Probert said Emily<br />
had worked hard to earn the award and was highly deserving. “She has not<br />
given up trying when it has been hard, or when she’s been tired. She has also<br />
consistently completed her homework and has shown excellent focus in class.<br />
We are all very proud of her wonderful progress.” <br />
Organisation<br />
receives<br />
boost from<br />
engineering firm<br />
THE CANTERBURY Down<br />
Syndrome Association has<br />
received a boost of $12,420 from<br />
structural engineering firm<br />
Constructure.<br />
To celebrate its 10th anniversary,<br />
Constructure launched a<br />
Givealittle page in April, inviting<br />
its customers to donate to a good<br />
cause as an ‘unorthodox birthday<br />
present.’<br />
The firm donated $10,000 and<br />
it’s clients donated $2420.<br />
Constructure founder Cory Bedford<br />
said he was excited that his<br />
clients got into the spirit.<br />
“I really want to thank all our<br />
customers for their generosity that<br />
will make a big difference for a<br />
small local charity like the CDSA.”<br />
The CDSA provides support,<br />
education, and advocacy to its<br />
members, their families and wider<br />
community.<br />
Said CDCA chairwoman Diane<br />
Mulholland: “We are just overwhelmed<br />
and grateful that this<br />
amazing gift got even bigger.”<br />
Over the past decade, Constructure<br />
has expanded to 25 staff<br />
members across its Christchurch<br />
and Auckland offices.<br />
The $10,000 gift was not chosen<br />
randomly but symbolises the<br />
target of 10,000 projects the Constructure<br />
team wanted to complete<br />
by the anniversary date.<br />

Burnside-based preschool and nursery,<br />
The Enchanted Garden, was handed over<br />
to new owner-operator Debbie Taylor in<br />
October. She has been in early childhood<br />
management for over seven years and has<br />
three children of her own. Along with the<br />
familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s<br />
vision is to continue the high quality care<br />
and reputation that The Enchanted Garden<br />
has maintained since 1995.<br />
The centre offers children a home away<br />
from home, with a philosophy based on<br />
holistic, individualised care. They engage<br />
higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow better<br />
care and attention. The centre is staffed with a<br />
team of professional educators and nurturers<br />
who are highly trained and passionate about<br />
creating happy experiences.<br />
The setting is warm and home-like in<br />
nature while the playground and indoor<br />
environment have been designed to allow<br />
children to safely explore and learn with<br />
confidence. This is supported by a strong<br />
curriculum designed for active and exciting<br />
play.<br />
With 10 spaces in their nursery, and 23<br />

with a talented teaching staff and small class sizes<br />
which are set within a future-focused, nurturing environment.<br />
An extensive range of educational, sporting and<br />
cultural opportunities are offered for girls in Years 1 - 8.<br />
A supportive all-girl learning environment<br />
encourages girls to take risks without<br />
fear of failure and develops their love of<br />
learning. They become confident, compassionate,<br />
articulate and determined young<br />
women who have the values, skills, and<br />
attributes needed to not only achieve their<br />
goals but to make a difference in their<br />
communities. Our teachers ensure girls<br />
are inspired and committed to learning as<br />
they develop their unique way of learning<br />
and achieving. The focus across Years 1 -<br />
8 is on the growth of the developing girl<br />
encompassing intellectual, social, physical,<br />
emotional, and cultural needs.<br />
Selwyn House is committed to providing<br />
a continuum of international education.<br />
The combination of the International<br />
Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme<br />
(PYP) and our future-focused STEAM and<br />
Mechatronics curriculum ensures girls are<br />
equipped to face a continually changing<br />
world with confidence and enthusiasm.<br />
We focus on instilling strong foundations<br />
which can be successfully built upon.<br />
Core learning in reading, writing and<br />
mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes<br />
in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership,<br />
Mechatronics, Music, Performing<br />
Arts, Physical Education, Science, Spanish<br />
and Swimming play key roles to further<br />
enhancing learning.<br />
Selwyn House provides each girl with a<br />
personalised learning experience. Each<br />
classroom and specialist teacher has the<br />
time to a foster meaningful relationships<br />
with each student. Due to our comprehensive<br />
learning environment, our girls are<br />
highly skilled, stand out among their peers<br />
and are prepared for a successful transition<br />
to secondary school.<br />
Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is<br />
apparent in all aspects of the school. In our<br />
modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding<br />
House, girls are supported by dedicated<br />
staff and tutors. Girls from across<br />
New Zealand and internationally fondly<br />
call the Boarding House, their ‘home away<br />
from home’ and easily form a sisterhood<br />
with others.<br />

the promise of the future and the power<br />
of education. For more information on<br />

SCHOLARSHIPS & SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Ultimate campus taking shape<br />
at QEII Park<br />
Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for<br />
Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools is progressing<br />
rapidly with opening on track for next year.<br />
Sue and John.<br />
The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre<br />
with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey<br />
turf, four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café,<br />
and a large library and learning centre.<br />
Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School Headmaster John Laurenson are<br />
excited by the progress.<br />
“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that<br />
will peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel<br />
framing is up and the concrete slabs are down and we<br />
can see now just how big this campus will be – it’s simply<br />
wonderful,” says John Laurenson.<br />
“You can finally see all that we have been talking about<br />
and dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with<br />
our students, staff and community making the most of all<br />
of the fantastic new facilities before we know it.”<br />
The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will<br />
be the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single<br />
sex schools will be co-located.<br />
John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the<br />
schools to offer students more.<br />
“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to<br />
build bigger and better facilities.”<br />
Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better<br />
educational opportunities.<br />
“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects,<br />
so we can offer students wider choice and there’s also<br />
the opportunity to work together on co-curricular<br />
opportunities – such as productions, sports competitions<br />
and the like.”<br />
Both principals are keen to point out that the colocation<br />
is not a merger.<br />
“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll<br />
work together, but both schools will retain their own<br />
culture, identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed<br />
school,” says John Laurenson.<br />
“Research shows that single sex education benefits<br />
both boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform<br />
better academically and girls participate more. This new<br />
campus, has been designed so that students will still<br />
spend most of their time in a single sex environment.”<br />
Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the<br />
east of Christchurch will be proud of.<br />
“We’ll be right alongside the new QE2 Sport and<br />
Recreation Centre, the School of Gymnastics and have a<br />
satellite unit for Ferndale School onsite. It’s going to be a<br />
great place to learn.”<br />
AVONSIDE GIRLS’<br />
HIGH SCHOOL<br />
OPEN EVENING<br />
Thursday 24 <strong>May</strong> <strong>2018</strong> from 5.00pm – 7.00pm<br />
The evening begins in the gymnasium at 5.00pm, with an<br />
address from the Principal Mrs Sue Hume, and student<br />
representatives. A tour of the school follows, with the<br />
opportunity to talk to teachers and students.<br />
We look forward to welcoming all prospective students and<br />
families for 2019.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Headache & Migraine<br />
can be treated<br />
Scm<br />
The crosses are the area of the<br />
muscle spasms (triggerpoints).<br />
The red areas is where the<br />
pain is felt.<br />
Temporalis<br />
muscle<br />
Neck muscle that causes headaches, earaches and facial pain.<br />
Most headaches and migraines are<br />
caused by an accumulation of<br />
factors. Factors like the condition<br />
of your spine, neck, jaw and face muscles,<br />
but also posture, breathing pattern and<br />
your ability to manage stress. Once the<br />
threshold is reached, you will suffer a<br />
headache. Research shows in most cases,<br />
the neck plays a significant role (Dwyer<br />
et al. 1990). Migraine sufferers who react<br />
well to migraine medication have excellent<br />
results when treated for neck dysfunction<br />
(Pavese et al. 1994).<br />
Our physiotherapists have extensive<br />
experience in treating headaches and<br />
can quickly determine what treatment is<br />
needed. This often leads to a significant<br />
decrease in both the intensity and<br />
frequency of your headaches.<br />
As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk<br />
explains, when our muscles tighten this<br />
can refer pain to many of the areas around<br />
the face and head. Dehydration can be the<br />
catalyst for tightening the neck muscle<br />
(SCM), which causes pain in the ear,<br />
forehead and around the eye and jaw-joint<br />
areas. Tightening of the temporalis muscle<br />
can refer pain to the teeth, which can be<br />
confusing when you visit the dentist to<br />
have it checked and the dentist can’t find a<br />
reason for the recurring pain.<br />
Teeth grinding at night and teeth<br />
clenching during the day are also a major<br />
cause of muscle tightening.<br />
Physiotherapy treatment for these<br />
problems is based on deactivating the<br />
‘trigger points’ through hands-on massage<br />
therapy to relax the muscles, which is the<br />
least invasive and a very effective form<br />
of treatment. Dry needling is another<br />
technique used for muscle relaxation, and<br />
can be used with the client’s consent, Ietje<br />
says.<br />
Immediate relief is achieved by releasing<br />
your tight muscles. At the same time we<br />
work on the cause of the problem. For<br />
example, a “feedback” headband can be<br />
provided to be worn at night to help you<br />
The muscle that causes headaches and toothaches.<br />
learn not to clench your teeth while asleep.<br />
Sometimes we need to work on the neck<br />
part of your spine, where overuse or stress<br />
can cause muscles to tighten, creating pain:’<br />
Teaching self-management of stress can<br />
also be an important aspect of the total<br />
treatment, as well as teaching breathing<br />
techniques, which go hand in hand with<br />
managing stress.<br />
Our qualified physiotherapists specialise<br />
in dealing with chronic pain, such as<br />
headaches, earache, toothache, and facial<br />
and jaw pain. ………………...We can help<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Supporting Your<br />
Bowel & Digestive<br />
Function Helps<br />
Prevent Disease<br />
It is most important to keep the whole<br />
digestive & elimination systems of the<br />
body working efficiently. Otherwise toxins<br />
that have not been eliminated set the stage<br />
for disease. Many diseases have been linked<br />
with micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial<br />
component. Generally these microorganisms<br />
or bacteria can only survive<br />
due to the fact that the environment they<br />
are in is suitable for their survival. Non<br />
eliminated toxins are probably one of the<br />
main causative factors for their survival.<br />
We know that when the digestive system<br />
& bowel function are poor we have many<br />
more health problems. These include<br />
arthritis, digestive problems like reflux &<br />
stomach pain, bladder infections, chronic<br />
skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis &<br />
rashes, poor eyesight, pain & inflammation,<br />
tumors & a weakened immune system just<br />
to name a few.<br />
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />
highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />
support the whole digestive system & it is<br />
especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />
bowel & intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds &<br />
influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, skin<br />
conditions like eczema & psoriasis, urinary<br />
infections, liver dysfunction, Candida,<br />
weakened immune function & for people<br />
who want to keep their health as good as<br />
possible.<br />
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />
production of digestive fluids & bile for<br />
efficient digestion. This alone may help<br />
prevent many diseases as a properly working<br />
digestive system will itself neutralise many<br />
disease causing organisms before they<br />
have a chance to cause any problems. LBS<br />
II also stimulates peristaltic action of the<br />
colon effectively cleansing the colon of any<br />
accumulated build-ups of waste material. It<br />
also relaxes abdominal cramping & spasms,<br />
enhances liver function, purifies the blood,<br />
neutralizes acidic conditions, helps destroy<br />
intestinal parasites & worms, & fights<br />
infection.<br />
Keeping your digestive system & bowels<br />
functioning efficiently is definitely &<br />
important step in obtaining & maintaining<br />
good long term health.<br />

1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults<br />
& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most<br />
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest<br />
scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &<br />
brain performance. Another study showed that older people with<br />
higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &<br />
score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet<br />
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive<br />
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,<br />
regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &<br />
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor<br />
that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can<br />
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a<br />
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+<br />
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk<br />
of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s<br />
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system<br />
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs<br />
further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />
the form of Methylcobalamin<br />
sublingual tablets that are<br />
dissolved in the<br />
mouth & thru<br />
bypassing the<br />
digestive tract have<br />
been shown to<br />
effectively raise B12<br />
levels in the body.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the right heat<br />
pump for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />
most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />
if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />
convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />
to press a button. But how do you decide what<br />
is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is<br />
key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore important<br />
to get professional advice from heat pump<br />
experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it<br />
is important to select the correct size for your<br />
requirements that will handle the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />
is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />
installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />
unit however this is not necessarily always the<br />
best option. It is vital that the indoor unit is<br />
positioned in a place that will not be constantly<br />
blowing on you. Also important, is the location<br />
of the outdoor unit. Most people do not want<br />
their outdoor unit sitting directly in their<br />
outdoor entertaining area or right outside their<br />
bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands vary<br />
in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems<br />
and price, so it depends on your application as<br />
to which will be most suitable. Major brands<br />
such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,<br />
Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands<br />
backed up by good technical after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />

installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

Get rid of<br />
dampness<br />
in your house<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />
healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of<br />
our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes<br />
that suffer from rising damp which can be<br />
associated with health problems. Independent<br />
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can<br />
rise from the ground and enter a house every<br />
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation<br />
and musty smells. Moulds can produce<br />
various allergic reactions and the<br />
frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd<br />
is a locally owned and operated<br />
firm. The team understands the<br />
problems caused by rising damp<br />
and are there to help. They will<br />
come to your damp home and<br />
pump a lightweight, flowable<br />
foam concrete under your<br />
timber floored home. Specially<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
adapted for our New Zealand conditions and<br />
applications it provides a layer of protection<br />
against rising moisture. An unexpected<br />
benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam<br />
Concrete have noticed recently, is that many<br />
owners of properties which had underfloor<br />
foam concrete installed, reported that it also<br />
provided protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Fresh air<br />
in your home<br />
All houses require air exchange in order<br />
to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live<br />
in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air<br />
quality is important for the health of the<br />
occupants. Houses can have many sources of<br />
contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,<br />
pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening<br />
the windows can refresh the air, but is not<br />
always an option for security reasons and can<br />
also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.<br />
Although older houses have small gaps<br />
around windows and doors, you want to be<br />
able to control the flow of air. You don’t want<br />
air coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and<br />
pushing the soiled air around the house. It<br />
is better to expel the air out of kitchens and<br />
bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in<br />
from the rest of the house to replace the air that<br />
has been removed.<br />
Modern houses are very airtight and<br />
theoretically require a source of incoming air<br />
to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to<br />
work optimally. Ventilation systems should be<br />
low air velocity and low air pressure so as not<br />
to cause draughts.<br />
There are two main types of ventilation<br />
system: Positive pressure and Balanced<br />
pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the<br />
Dry-Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into<br />
the house, which then percolates through the<br />
rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.<br />
Balanced pressure systems bring in a<br />
similar amount of air to the amount they<br />
exhaust. Balanced pressure systems with<br />
Heat Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the<br />
heat of the outgoing air to warm the incoming<br />
air from outside. These are the most energy<br />
efficient systems available, as they recover up<br />
to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than<br />
losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just<br />
as well cooling incoming air when the house is<br />
cooled in summer.<br />
The NZ building code has recommended<br />
air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain<br />
the required airflow for your home, please<br />
contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />
(0800 766 684), who will also be able to<br />
recommend a solution if your ventilation<br />
doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.<br />

New premises<br />
for car light<br />
specialists<br />
NEW<br />
LOCATION<br />
95<br />
gasson st<br />
Long-established car light specialists,<br />
Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their<br />
lights from a sparkling new address – just<br />
around the corner from their familiar<br />
Brougham Street site.<br />
Just prior to Christmas, the business<br />
moved from 325 Brougham Street to 95<br />
Gasson St, where they offer a brighter<br />
showroom, easier access for their customers<br />
and plenty of off-street parking.<br />
“We’re all set up in our new premises,”<br />
sales manager Richard Vernimmen says,<br />
“and continuing to provide our customers<br />
with an extensive range of replacement<br />
lights for most Japanese, European and<br />
New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover<br />
most vehicles on the road, and all our lights<br />
are fully checked and in perfect working<br />
order.”<br />
If they don’t have it in stock, they can<br />
source it from one of the other branches in<br />
the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE<br />
is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of<br />
car, truck and commercial parts.<br />
Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair<br />
service for headlights, with their skilled<br />
staff of three having 80 years’ experience<br />
in the automotive trade between them.<br />
They also specialise in light adjuster and<br />
light conversion of American<br />
car lights and their repair<br />
service includes plastic<br />
welding, drying out, and<br />

Celebrating 56 years<br />
on the local music scene<br />
NEVILLE Wilkins & the Viscounts celebrate<br />
56 years on the music scene this weekend<br />
making them one of New Zealand’s longest<br />
established dance bands.<br />
Straits, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, Englebert<br />
Humperdink, and Elvis Presley,” said Neville.<br />
“So we play a good mixture of 50's, 60's, 70's<br />
ballads, rock and roll, country and even Irish.”<br />
Today the Viscounts - Neville Wilkins<br />
(trumpet); Christine Williams (vocals); Dave<br />
Petrie (keyboards); Ray Harris (guitar);<br />
Graeme Wallis (bass); John Wilson (drums) -<br />
still perform at private functions and the<br />
occasional public show.<br />
‘Famous for their roasts!’<br />

Christchurch trumpeter, Neville Wilkins<br />
formed the band in 1962 and during its career<br />
The Viscounts has had around 60 members,<br />
with some staying as long as 20 years.<br />
Their first residencies included<br />
Christchurch’s 500 Club in Chancery Lane and<br />
The Town & About in Peterborough St,<br />
followed later by the Bush Inn Courts and<br />
Twiggers.<br />
With a career spanning well over five<br />
decades, the group has adapted its repertoire<br />
with time and today play a wide selection of<br />
material.<br />
“I always aimed for the band to play the<br />
most popular artists, such as Ricky Nelson,<br />
Billy Vaughan, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gene<br />
Pitney, Eddie Calvert, Neil Diamond, Dire<br />
Neville Wilkins & the Viscounts appear at<br />
the Woolston Club, Hargood St, this Saturday<br />
(3rd September). Don’t miss your opportunity<br />
to ‘cut a rug’ with this highly respected and<br />
