Plans for school revealed $31m development to cater for roll increase „„ By Georgia O’Connor-Harding HOW HORNBY High School will look after its $31 million rebuild has now been revealed. Separate staff and student cafes, underfloor heating, a technology centre and a courtyard are some of the new features in a redesigned school that will see the roll increase from about 650 to 800. Construction will get under way in January and is expected to take two years to complete. Principal Robin Sutton (right) said the rebuild was not due to earthquake damage but to bring the school into the modern era. “It is a modernisation. It is an acceptance the buildings have been there since 1975 and no longer fit for purpose,� he said. “There has been a huge amount of work go on. The concept designs are exciting but more importantly the progress that has been made on what will go inside has been astounding,� he said. Mr Sutton said while the school is being rebuilt to provide a capacity for 800 students, the master plan will allow for an additional expansion in buildings at the school to allow the roll to grow to 1200.
Already $2 million has been spent on eight new classrooms for year 7 and 8 students. The designs released include images of the front entry of the school, the northern and southern facades of the school and the central courtyard. MoE’s head of education infrastructure service Jerome Sheppard said the development will have new teaching spaces, a gym, technology centre and administration buildings. “There will also be underfloor heating, staff and student cafes and an attractive central courtyard,� he said. He said building works are planned to take place in three major stages to minimise student disruption and to allow the school to stay open throughout the rebuild. While the current auditorium and music rooms will remain, they will be refurbished. Meanwhile, the redevelopment of Hornby Primary School is underway with Hann Construction Company Ltd starting work last month. The Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme is investing $1.137 billion to refurbish, rebuild and repair 115 schools in the city.

IT IS out with the 41-year-old buildings and in with flash staff and student cafes, underfloor heating and a larger roll at Hornby High School. The school is going to get a $31 million rebuild (front page), complete with a few extra trimmings. It is a far cry from the days of old where you dried your sopping wet jersey on the radiators during the winter months. This week’s Our People feature is on Marlene Bennetts who has written 28 books. On page 6 and 7, Mrs Bennetts chats about her latest book, The Little Drummer Boy, and other little anecdotes, including her husband Hec digging her writing out from the rubbish bin whenever Mrs Bennetts got disheartened after rejection letters from publishers.

News ECan hints water is okay 39 wells tested near quarries By Georgia O’Connor-Harding TESTING FROM Environment Canterbury has indicated there are no health concerns for residents in the Yaldhurst area after carrying out water testing on 39 wells near quarries. THe tests were carried out after residents’ raised concerns over a temporary earthquake landfill on the Old West Coast Rd. THe results of the testing is still yet to be released, but ECan said the landfill showed no clear impact on domestic wells. It comes after residents were concerned that a temporary earthquake waste landfill permit issued by the city council was extended at Blakely Construction from April this year to June 2021. THe process was granted under The Greater Regeneration Act for temporary activities established under the Order in Council. THe consent permits
CONCERN: Residents in Yaldhurst are concerned a temporary earthquake waste landfill permit issued by the city council was extended at Blakely Construction Ltd. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN storage and recovery material of 80,000m3 from the earthquakes. Two extra consents under ECan were permitted for discharge from depositing clean fill in the ground and the discharge of dust from crushing concrete. Both ECan consents expire in 2018. ECan’s senior manager service delivery Brett Aldridge said there are different expiry dates because they are for different activities. Meanwhile, a separate report found E. coli detections in a bore downstream from some quarries. THe report released in May by
The Institute of Environmental Science and Research’s Dr Brent Gilpin said the E. coli detected is likely to be from environmental sources, or if originally from a faecal source then a very aged source. THe number 5 bore, about 500m east of Blakely Construction along with two other wells near Road Metals Co Ltd and Winstone Aggregates were sampled, Mr Aldridge said. But Mr Aldridge said there are no concerns about the health impacts on residents because tests on all residents’ wells were negative. Yaldhurst resident Dennis Thompson said it was

In Brief
“ludicrous” to give an extension to Blakely Construction. He said destroyed houses from the earthquakes are sitting in the pit. “THe crap going in was the total house. Food and all”. An independent GPS survey revealed 30,000 cu m is sitting at the landfill. Halswell-HornbyRiccarton community board member Mike Mora said it is “unbelievable” that the rubbish is sitting over the groundwater. He said he is working with the Yaldhurst Rural Residents’ Association to get the extension reviewed by the city council and ECan. An ECan spokesman said regular visits are made to monitor compliance with the consents. A new consent issued on issued on April 10, 2015, said no hazardous substance will be stored within 20m of a lawfully established bore, lake or wetland boundary. THe ECan spokesman said they were not convinced they saw a typical groundwater recharge and saw the associated leaching of contaminants they might see in a wetter year. THe owner of the company, Woody Blakely did not wish to comment.
EXTENSION UPDATE Construction on the major overhaul of the roading network from the Halswell Junction Rd roundabout at Springs Rd to Islington is now programmed to be finished in 2019. Previously the project had a finish date by 2018 but due to complex design issues the time frames have changed. The city council’s head of transport Chris Gregory said the project team hope to have a preferred option for consultation in the first half of 2017. The allocated budget in the draft Long Term Plan is $4.8 million. LIQUOR LICENCE CONCERN Last week Western News reported residents were concerned over an application lodged for a new liquor store on 76 Riccarton Rd. As of last week, eight public objections have been received opposing the licence. One of the objections was attached with a petition of 15 signatories. The public notification period ends today. POOL CONSULTATION Consultation on where the Hornby Library, Service Centre and South-West Pool should be located is expected to get under way in November-December. Denton Park is one of the options being considered which could mean the re-location of its sports clubs.

outlet in Riccarton Rd, with two liquor stores in close proximity and several bars open, or opening soon, in the area. Riccarton has got a bad enough reputation with violence and we don’t need another source of alcohol that would invariably not help the situation. It is a bad look for a liquor place to be next door to the Work and Income branch. No doubt a liquor store would
be the first place an unhappy client would visit after seeing a case manager and this could lead to all sorts of difficult situations. The car park for the store is difficult and dangerous to access off Riccarton Rd. With the late night open hours, this will add to the trouble. In summary, I don’t think having the liquor store will add any benefit to the area at all, only negatives.
Stay in the kitchen when cooking By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer HOW LONG does it take for 10 litres or more of water in a large saucepan to boil away and then the pan to melt from the heat (in this case a gas cooker) and set fire to the building? Well in the case of a house in Stanley St, Sydenham, last Friday night it took eight hours. That’s the time between the occupant forgetting the pan was on and leaving and the place being fully involved in fire. Five fire trucks and a command unit attended and, as you would expect, damage was severe. This has to be counted as a cooking fire. There were two more reported this week. One of them involved someone being taken to hospital with smoke inhalation. It also appears this victim may have had two or three drinks too many. There are some classic recipes for disaster in the above incidents. The first is relatively common but doesn’t always mean a house is completely destroyed.
TRICKY: It’s duckling season again and firefighters are expecting to rescue more of them from drains.
The second is also quite common, particularly amongst our fatality statistics. Don’t drink and fry! And stay in the kitchen when cooking. Should be simple. There was a smile to be had after Woolston’s crew were sent to Truscotts Rd up the Heathcote Valley on Monday to rescue some ducklings from a drain. A thorough search failed to find them. The radio message back to comms stated ‘no sign of ducklings, we may have been sent on a wild goose chase.’ Good reply!

News Tree solution found By Georgia O’Connor-Harding ISSUES surrounding two troublesome oak trees could at long last be resolved. Residents living on the border of Lomax Reserve, Hornby, have been lobbying against the city council to have two oak trees removed since late last year. Concerns included having litter gathering in the guttering, shade issues and the short distance between the trees and residential area. A street meeting was held in the park between city council staff, residents and HalswellHornby-Riccarton community board member Mike Mora recently. As a result, it was agreed city council staff will develop a map of the reserve identifying the two oak trees neighbouring residents want removed. Resident John Baxter said problems built from frustration of nothing happening with the city council but is pleased something positive is finally going to happen. “If we suffered another year of leaves and the city council didn’t do anything about it I would get legal advice and they would come round to mow the lawns

and there would be two full length trees across the park,” Mr Baxter said. He also said the outcome so far was “absolutely positive”. “I guess if the overly-squeaky wheel keeps squeaking it will get some oil,” he said. The two oak trees to be cut down are nearing maturity and are about 7.6m tall. “If they can plant something that is ever green and not too tall, I’ll be happy as a sand boy,” Mr Baxter said.
City council’s head of parks Andrew Rutledge said city council staff will put a report together but a decision on removing the trees sits with the community board. Mr Mora agreed the street meeting was positive. “The council staff have agreed to go away and do a landscape plan for the reserve with the view of removing those trees and replacing them with something more appropriate and in a better location,” he said.
RICCARTON HOUSE has opened its doors for Beca Heritage Week. The house was the original home of the Deans family who built it in 1856 and lived there until 1947. It was severely damaged during the Canterbury earthquakes and restored before re-opening in 2014. During the $2.7 million restoration process, a previously hidden history of the 160-yearold house was uncovered. Multiple layers of wallpaper was peeled away to reveal the original paper brought by New Zealand pioneer Jane Deans when she emigrated from England. Riccarton House was the first in the city to have electricity and running water and even had its own intercom system so the residents could communicate with their servants.
During Beca Heritage Week a guided tour called Hidden Histories of Riccarton House will be held on various days. Visitors will be able to see new textile exhibits including a christening gown dating from the 1870s worn by all of Jane Deans’ 12 grandchildren, Jane’s betrothal gloves, and her daughter-in-law Catherine’s silver-engraved parasol. Riccarton House customer experience co-ordinator Antonia Allison said these pieces of family history were displayed in a new way that allowed visitors to feel they were uncovering secret treasures. Another favourite for visitors is the recently opened attic area, which was used for storage and also has a children’s play area. Beca Heritage Week started last Friday and runs through to October 24.

Marlene Bennetts
Children’s author writes book Author Marlene Bennetts, 78, has finished writing her latest children’s book, The Little Drummer Boy, to raise money for her earthquake-damaged church in Opawa. She spoke to Caitlin Miles about her roving childhood and writing her memoirs Can you tell me about The Little Drummer Boy? I was approached to write something for the church in November last year that could be ready for Christmas. I sat on it for a while wondering what I could write and Evelyn Hille said to me why not write something on The Little Drummer Boy and so that’s what I did. How long have you belonged to the Opawa Community Church? I’ve lived in Opawa for about eight and half years and belonged to the church for at least six and half I think. How long have you been writing? I have been writing for about 30 years now, children’s books and poems mostly. What made you want to be a writer? I’ve always wanted to write. I hated poetry. I was always interested in reading. We didn’t have libraries in one-room schools1 NEWthe LOCATION ADVERT.pdf so I didn’t get my first book until
I was eight. It was Peter Pan – I loved that book, my grand-kids have it now. When I was growing up I used to tell my brothers stories to get them to do things for me when I didn’t want to. How many siblings do you have? I have two younger brothers. Did you grow up in Christchurch? No I didn’t. We moved roughly 15 times so it’s hard to pinpoint where I grew up. I was born in Westport, though. Why did you move so often? My father worked in sawmills, so we moved around a lot. We were in a lot of small towns that only had one-classroom schools. Most of them had basically the same text books throughout, so I would read a couple of chapters ahead before starting at a new school and the teachers would think I was really clever until they caught up to the chapter I was on. 11:51:35 a.m. 1/05/2014 Were you a bit cheeky in

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

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

poem called Stolen Virginity. I went to this group where people read out their poems and had them criticised by other writers. These were respected and widely published writers and I was sitting there wondering why I was there and what I was doing. I got up and read it out and came home saying to my husband there is no way I am ever going back there, I’m not writing anymore, and he managed to
convince me it wasn’t that bad so I went back the next month and it was the best thing I ever did. For every acceptance letter I got for a piece, I got about 10 rejections. So it was pretty common for me to say I’m not doing this anymore and chuck it all in the bin. And Hec, my husband, would pull it all out again and convince me to keep writing. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be talking to you today.

risky back then. I had wanted to be in the Air Force but that wasn’t likely and, after that, it certainly wasn’t going to happen. So I ended up moving 800 miles (1287km) away to live with my Grandmother to work as a secretary – I was 16 at the time. Hec was working in the garage and he was 23 so it worked out.

Rossendale Vineyard blooms at awards By Georgia O’Connor-Harding NOT ONLY does Louise Young’s garden make wedding day wishes come true, it has been recognised as one of the finest in the region. Rossendale Vineyard, based at Kennedys Bush, picked up gold in the premier garden category of the Canterbury Horticultural Society Spring Garden Awards. Mrs Young has worked at the vineyard for eight years. She was hopeful of getting a good result in the awards this year after the time and effort she has put into the garden. The award-winning plot features large rhododendrons in the centre, surrounded by spring flowers including roses and tulips. “I have used quite a lot of bedding and annuals because you have colour all year round. You have spring bulbs and then towards summer you rely on your roses,” she said. Mrs Young’s passion for gardening blossomed at a young age as she grew up on a farm in Hundalee. She said she used to dig up the lawns to help her mother plant flowers in the garden at her childhood home. Mrs Young’s gardening expertise grew when she started working on an apprenticeship at the Christchurch Botanic

Gardens when she was 18. Following the apprenticeship, she carried on working towards a diploma at the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture. As well as constructing romantically-styled gardens for weddings, Mrs Young has been involved in the Canterbury
Herb Society and Canterbury Horticultural Society’s fruit and vegetable circle. “I kind of like that link of growing your own food,” she said. Mrs Young is also responsible for cultivating the garden at Spanish restaurant Curator’s House in the botanic gardens.

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

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

“Our child care centres provide excellent facilities, quality educational equipment and programmes, and wellqualified and caring teaching staff,” he said.

Mr Robinson said the pupils got to raise the salmon in the purpose-built tank and learnt a lot about the importance of clean water. “These kids certainly learn about the fish in the tank and the need for clean water because you can lose some if the water quality is not right,” he said. Ms Double said although it was sad to see the tiny creatures go, the pupils were ready to say goodbye.
No airport access from Wairakei Rd ACCESS TO the airport from Wairakei Rd has been permanently closed as part of the Russley Rd upgrade project. The New Zealand Transport Agency closed the road on Thursday night. The change at Wairakei Rd is necessary for safety, given the proximity of the intersection to the Russley Rd and Memorial Ave airport interchange lanes. Motorists will still be able to exit Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd from the east, heading towards the Memorial Ave intersection. Motorists on Russley Rd head-
ing south towards the airport will also be able to turn left onto Wairakei Rd. There will be no direct access to the airport precinct area and Orchard Rd from Wairakei Rd. The Harewood Rd roundabout is now completed and the underpass shared path for cyclists and pedestrians is completed and is in use. Removing traffic islands and the roundabout at the Wairakei Rd intersection with Russley Rd is likely to take place at weekends and off-peak hours in October.

By Gordon Findlater CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High School had an ideal preparation for the cricket season with a two-week trip to Australia during the school holidays. The school’s first XI and a development team, made up of the second and third XI squads, played six games each over the space of 13 days in New South Wales. The tour has taken place every second year for the past 14 years. Both teams won all of their games against quality Sydney secondary school teams, which included The King’s School, St Ignatius Riverview, Shore Grammar School and Newington College. “Some of the grounds we played on were first class material. The conditions were something we wouldn’t be able to replicate at home at this time of year,” said master in charge of cricket Matt Parr. They were also given some special tutelage from former Australian international cricketer Jason Krejza. The 33-year-old right arm off-break bowler spent time with the two teams, putting them through their paces before some of their matches

They defeated their own second XI in the opening round of the Christchurch first XI one day competition last Saturday. They scored 214 in the first innings and then bowled out the second XI for just 57 in a one-sided affair. On Sunday, they played St Bede’s in the regional semi-final of the National Secondary School Boys’ First XI Cup (formerly the
Gillette Cup). They bowled St Bede’s out for 104 and then reached the target with relative ease to win by six wickets. Ben Hartland, son of former Canterbury and New Zealand international cricketer Blair Hartland, top scored with a 50 to help his team reach victory. CBHS will now play St Andrew’s in the regional final in November. The winner will take part in the final week-long tournament in Lincoln in December.

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

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

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

CONTINUING EDUCATION KIDSTUFF Pasifika Trades Training leads to new career for Charity Receiving a Pasifika Trades Training scholarship has been a game-changer for Charity Ierome. After completing a 12week Essential Civil Skills course at Ara Institute of Canterbury for free, she now has a clear career path and a new outlook. “The biggest thing it’s done for me is build up my confidence. Before I felt like nobody and now I know that I can achieve and what I want to do in the future,” she says. Charity used to work in the butchery at Pak n Save, but knew it wasn’t what she wanted to do long-term. Her Dad found out about the Pasifika Trades Training scholarship through Reverend Fitifiti Lautua, a mentor for the programme. With so many opportunities in Canterbury, Charity says that trades training was a good career move and it made financial sense. “It was a chance for me to do something for myself and make a better living for my family. My Nana was my inspiration. I wanted to make sure she was well looked after back in Samoa,” she says. Studying for 12 weeks full-time was a big commitment for Charity, who also continued to work full-time. However, the backing of her tutor and classmates helped her to succeed. “My tutor had experienced the kind of difference that a qualification can make in your life and he was a real role model. My class became my second family,” she says.
The course was exactly what Charity needed to get into the industry. It included the core practical skills and certifications that employers look for, and provided support to enter the workforce. “The most valuable thing I learned was how to get work-ready. I was taught how to approach an interview and what to put in my CV. We also had potential employers come to talk to us,” she says. Just two weeks after completing her qualification, Charity was offered a job at City Care. She is now a Traffic Management Site Supervisor, wants to work towards a degree and has her sights set on a management role. “It’s like I’m on a totally different planet now. Studying has changed who I am and it has changed my family’s future,” she says.
Freedom to learn and explore
As a parent herself, Tiny Tots Nursery and Preschool owner and operator, Rebecca Ellis knows only too well how important your child’s welfare and learning is. For the highest quality care and education for your children Tiny Tots Nursery and Preschool is a privately owned and family operated centre that ensures peace of mind through their commitment to your child’s needs. “Over the years I’ve found that the best results for happy, socially well-adjusted children who are free to explore and grow, come from an environment that has flexible routines, changing challenges and a caring professional, qualified and experienced teaching team,” says Rebecca. Tiny Tots provides a safe and secure environment in which children can learn, create and grow to the best of their abilities. Observing the children at play the teachers communicate with both parents
and the teaching team in order to develop an individual programme tailored to each child’s unique needs. This helps the children to extend on their learning and enhances their development while in an open learning environment. Tiny Tots is a small, homely centre with a real family feel and has a great open plan environment both indoors and out. Children are provided with high quality equipment, resources and facilities to support each child’s learning and development. Teachers encourage parents to spend time with their children in the centre, especially to help them settle in, which also helps parents to discover how the centre operates throughout the day. Parents and children are welcome to visit Tiny Tots at 148 England Street in Linwood or phone 3896851.

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

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS

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