•From page 1 Mr Robinson and Ms Watts were travelling to the West Coast on Friday for their wedding and were unable to talk to the Western News about the online abuse. Mr Robinson’s mother Gina Blair said the negative feedback had been horrible. “There were comments saying they were irresponsible and deserved what they got. It’s not fair when they don’t know their situation,” she said. “You just feel so angry. You
just want to say something to them. It’s unbelieveable that people can say that.” Ms Blair said one of the reasons there was no insurance was because the couple couldn’t afford it. Ms Blair said there had also been messages of support on Facebook. The fire started when a clothes dryer malfuntioned or overheated. The family were all at home when the fire started, but managed to escape. Meanwhile, pupils at South Hornby School have banded to-

It was driven by the kids, because they wanted to do something as a fundraiser.”

Ants are becoming more of a problem in Christchurch each year. Darwin Ants seem to be by far the most prominent but Argentine Ants and White Footed Ants are becoming more common. Darwin Ants can be identified by squashing some of them on your finger, and smelling it quickly, they have a pungent sweet smell. Their colonies can grow huge and can spread very quickly. These insects have survived millennia and are a force to be reckoned with. If you have ants in your home take actions sooner rather than later as the problems can escalate very quickly. With ants cleanliness is godliness, keep benches
Spider proofing helps to protect your paintwork and keeps your home looking clean and tidy. Spider webs over a period of time damage and mark paint permanently. clean from food waste, rinse dirty dishes immediately, don’t leave scrap bins inside, get them out into a trolley bin. Keep the rubber seal around your dishwasher clean. Keep the shelves and your pantry clean, and keep pet bowls outside or wash after use. Keep your floor clean where animals are being fed. If you have a garbage disposal keep the trap outside clean as well. It is better to treat the ants outside rather than inside. Fly spray and any pest control products that can be bought from a supermarket or shops may kill a few but are largely ineffective, you need professional help with licensed products. For every ant you see on the surface there are approximately 2,500 in the colony. The colony can be a 200mm underground and cover a huge area. Incorrect treatment can make the colony divide into up to 4 new colonies and move a meter away from the original colony. And in some areas there are colonies every couple of metres. Early control is very important but unfortunately you must realise they are now here to stay and are going to come back eventually.

Demolition of the Hornby clocktower building started last week, but plans for the site are still under wraps. Plans for a new building on the site are not yet finalised, but it is expected to be a single level building. Building owner Epoch Christchurch director Dave Cresswell said the final decision to demolish the building was made about two months ago. The building has remained empty since the 2011 earth-

Mr Cresswell said the new building was likely to look quite different, but the clock would be retained in the design. The demolition of the building is expected to finish in November, while plans for the new building are expected to be released before the end of the year.

QUAKES ON SCREEN: Dr Kasper Van Wijk from the University of Auckland showed Rangi Ruru Girls’ School year 7 pupils how the school’s new seismometer recorded a recent earthquake in Taupo.

Just hours after being gifted a seismometer, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students were measuring their first earthquake. On Tuesday the school was gifted a seismometer, by staff at University of Auckland. The students barely felt the 3.2 magnitude earthquake that afternoon, but they saw it as a large spike on the screen. Rangi Ruru principal Julie Moor said she hoped studying the science behind earthquakes would help the students to understand their own experiences. “Studying gives people greater understanding, and if you have greater understanding it helps you deal with something traumatic like an earthquake in a much better way.” She said it would allow the students to explore science in a hands-on way. “It’s important that girls see science, in all its varieties, not only as a viable and exciting career option but also as an essential part of our global future.” She said the school would like to expand its science programmes. “With our new science facilities

Torture for a good cause

Meet Megan
BY GABRIELLE STUART Burnside High School students have been torturing their teachers – for a good cause. To mark the annual Amnesty International Freedom Week, the students tied their teachers up in the school quad. Student Daniel Coats said their aim was to help educate fellow students about torture. “It is difficult for students coming from New Zealand to understand these issues, but that’s what we’re trying to do, to raise awareness.” He said that although the students were not likely to experience torture themselves, that made it more important that they stand for those who couldn’t defend themselves. “It’s important that we use that privilege, to speak out about these issues, because we won’t be imprisoned ourselves so we are able to do that. “If we’re not doing anything about it, who will? Because people in the affected countries don’t have that freedom.” He said his own involvement stemmed from his interest in history and politics in primary school. “Just having some understanding of what is actually going on has encouraged me to have an active role.” Teacher Michele Craw said

EDUCATING: Burnside High School teacher Jenny May was tied up in the school quad during Amnesty International Freedom Week, to help raise awareness of issues around torture. the group had worked hard to raise awareness of the issues. She said that letters and petitions from the students would be sent through Amnesty International to governments of countries allowing torture to take place. She believed the effort could have an impact. “Research has shown even rogue governments care about their international reputation. They don’t like bad publicity.”

GLITZ: The cast of the Hoon Hay School production, including the Hoscar winners.
BEST ACTRESS: Hard knocks for the orphans in Annie.
BEST ACTOR: Kanye Best trying to take Taylor Gift’s Hoscar.
Hoon Hay School takes on Hollywood A REVIEW OF THE HOON HAY SCHOOL PRODUCTION, BY JUDITH CROSSLEY A highlight of the social calendar returned last week when the Hoscars were handed out by the talented students at Hoon Hay School. About 430 performers took to the stage to bring us a taste of Hollywood. For a couple of hours we were transported to the glitz and glamour of tinsel town. We had guest appearances by Lady Googa, George Clueless, Brad Armpit, and Angelina Jolly, to name a few. The categories were, Best Special Effects, Best
Actress, Best Soundtrack, Best Director and finally Best Actor. For the first award we saw Pirates of the Caribbean, with a swashbuckling sword fight and the heroes walking the plank, and a modern twist on Alice in Wonderland with the cast hiphoping their way through the story. Annie was the winner for Best Actress. This rendition would not look out of place on any stage. Best Soundtrack was next. In true Bollywood style we had dancing from Slumdog Millionaire and lots of lightning going on in Grease. For Best Director we were treated to a full kapa haka performance for the movie Whale Rider. I have not actu-
ally seen this movie myself but I need not see it now as the students told the full story on stage. Wonderful. Lastly, we had the Best Actor award. Not surprisingly Taylor Gift won this for her work in Camp Rock, but there was one person who thought she was not deserving of the Hoscar. Kanye Best thought he was the best and did so, on stage. No one saw that coming. For the finale, the entire school sang to us the new Hoon Hay song which told us the school motto. We were the first to hear this and it summed up the persistence and respect, responsibility and curiosity that these children practice every day. BEST SOUNDTRACK: Some Greased Lightning.

So what are your thoughts on being named a finalist for the award? It hasn’t quite sunk in yet. Really, I see it as an acknowledgement of the amazing work of women in Canterbury, rather than of me as an individual. So do you know any of the other finalists? Not personally, but I think we’ve all heard of people like Beatrice Faumina and Kerry Prendergast – they’re stellar names. How does it feel to have your name up beside theirs? It’s pretty overwhelming. Obviously the people who nominated me believe I’m doing something good for the community, so it’s definitely an honour for many reasons. So tell me about Women in the Rebuild, where did it start?
Basically I’m a business strategist, and as a mentor I saw women weren’t getting a fair shake. Post-earthquake Christchurch had become a very masculine economy, and I saw the frustration for women. It was a way to get women together, to show them that they’re not alone in business. And also to acknowledge that the things that are happening in the city are different to what people are dealing with anywhere else, because we are dealing with a post-disaster environment and it’s a changed economy. Why do you think it has been so successful? Because it meets their needs. We understand that the pressure is on for women because we – Rae, my fellow director, and myself – feel it ourselves. As often happens in a post-disaster environment, a lot of women went home to take care of their children and their families, so they had to deal with the pressures of living on a single income on top of everything else. And if you’re running a business, you have a responsibility to staff members, so I know a lot of businesses have kept their doors open just because of the staff. It’s been a tough time for a lot of women.
WESTERN NEWS
for women That’s something I’ve also seen through my work with the West Christchurch Women’s Refuge. I’ve heard you also do a lot of work with the Chinese community in Christchurch. Yes, I sit on executive committee of the New Zealand China Trade Association. I have a strong relationship with several groups working between the countries, and I’m involved in running functions for the advancement of trade. I have a lot of Chinese contacts that I work with, here. There are some huge issues, when you consider that there are over 20,000 Chinese in Christchurch alone. So how did you get involved with the community? I first got involved about five years ago, when I attended a function run by ANZ. There was a gentleman there running Mandarin classes, and he wanted me to mentor him, so I did that. Eventually he asked me to become a business partner. In 2011, after the earthquake struck, he was summoned back to China, so I brought out his part of the business, and I’ve been running it since. So have you been to China? No, I haven’t. Is it on the bucket list? Of course. It’s actually the biggest joke among the Chinese community, that I do so much for them yet I have never actually been there. But I have an understanding of the culture from working closely with the community. Working with such a variety of different groups must be a challenge. It is, but I think it gives me quite a full awareness of what is going on in the community. With Women in the Rebuild I know the issues that women are facing in the rebuild of their lives and of their businesses, which are two quite different issues. On the Chinese side it’s about understanding and building relationships, and with Michelle Mac it’s about managing work-life balance and dealing with those issues. So they’re all quite different, but the common theme is building better business through relationships. So do you have free time, and if so, what do you do with it? In my free time – I do have free time – I love gardening and good British drama. I love mountain biking, too. Which part of the city are you living in? At the moment I’m living two steps away from the red zone in Kaiapoi. Were you living there before the earthquakes? No, I was living in Mt Pleasant at time of the quakes, so my house was one of those ones that slid down the hill. I became a refugee after that, out in Rangiora. I actually went on a flight, a week after
the earthquake, to Hawaii. I thought I was escaping the disaster, but then I was caught up in the tsunami warnings there. We had a level eight vertical evacuation, so we spent a night up on a mountainside and it was far from relaxing. My friends refuse to travel with me now. Do you have a partner or family? I have a partner. He’s also involved in international trade with China. Have you always lived in Christchurch? Yes, I was born and bred here. Do you have a favourite place in the city at the moment? At the moment I don’t have a favourite part, because I don’t like the look of a lot of the new development and the architecture coming into the city. I actually think, and I’ve told Roger Sutton this, that families need places to go that aren’t in the city. To go somewhere like the Botanic Gardens they have to go into the city, and the city is not a happy place at the moment, and it holds a lot of difficult memories for a lot of people. If there was somewhere safe and beautiful outside the city set apart as a place where families could go, I think that could really encourage them. Obviously you’ve done a huge amount of work with women. What do you think the value is of awards like Women of Influence? I think it shows that women have a voice and a role to play in our society. It acknowledges that there are opportunities for women, and it proves that absolutely anybody can step up in these awards and become a finalist. Obviously at this stage you’re just a finalist in the competition. Have you thought about what it would mean if you won? Of course you do, but this is tall poppy country so you don’t voice it. If I won it would be an acknowledgement of the achievement of all women in Canterbury, because I’m not just one person doing this. When you see what I’m involved in, this is for all women in all walks of life and all stages of life. I’m representing a community that has been hammered hard. If I did get that far it would be because the judges recognised the whole community behind me. You must have worked with some pretty inspiring people over the years. I’ve worked with some amazing people, and I’ve learnt that everyone brings greatness to the table. As a collective everyone helps each other, and that’s what makes Women in the Rebuild so strong. Of all the initiatives you’ve been involved in, which are you most proud of? I’m actually proud of them all, because they’ve all been positive for people somehow or somewhere along the way.

o you have an open mind? Are you looking for some answers? Would you like a fun night out? If you answered yes to these questions, then make sure you get your tickets to see Judie Roberts, a renowned clairvoyant, medium, Reiki and Seichem master, holistic healer, crystal consultant, tarot and past life therapist. In town for one show only, on Friday, September 12 at the Garden Bar, Cashmere Club. Judie has one of those accents that keep you wondering exactly where she’s from, and this is probably because she has spread her wings far and wide. When she was 20 years old, she went to live in Canada and the United States for a while, developing her spirituality. While living in Australia, Judie’s clairvoyant agency was employed by some top resorts and financial institutions for promotional work. She was also a columnist for eight years for a local newspaper in Brisbane and was a regular on Australian radio with guest spots on television. Once Judie moved back to New Zealand, she spent several years living in Taupo where she owned the Crystal Dreams shop before moving to Tauranga to open another shop. Judie and her family now live in the far north. Door sales for the show cost $35. Book a private reading with Judie on September 13 and 14 at the Chateau on the Park Hotel. Visit www.judie.co.nz.

National made the rebuild of Christchurch one of our four major priorities. We’ve committed over $15 billion to Christchurch and we will see the job through. By working hard for all New Zealanders National has provided six years of stable government with a strong economy. Any change, risks the strong progress we have all worked for here in Christchurch.

Starting on a sad note this week we lost one of our own, Brad Fletcher, from the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade who was tragically killed in an industrial accident at the port. Every member of the incredible family in blue we all belong to feels and grieves for Brad’s loved ones and the Lyttelton brigade. Spring is officially with us so the actions of the sick individual who keeps lighting fires in the undergrowth at Southshore Spit now ramps up the danger to people and firefighters alike as drier conditions and higher winds make his arson fires more dangerous. The latest was on Wednesday afternoon and took pumps and firefighters away from the
become a serial and dangerous fire lighter. Three kitchen fires this week in Martindales Rd, Heathcote, in Warblington St, Aranui, and in Ilam Rd, Bryndwr. Two of them involved occupants being treated for smoke inhalation. For the thousandth time our plea is for people cooking to stay in the kitchen but if even that does not allow you to deal with a fire successfully and immediately, to get out, closing the door behind you. I’ve seen too many times the results of people staying in a burning house in a futile effort to stop a fire that has got beyond them. Sadly, I’ve seen the body bags. Get out, stay out.

TOP STUDENT: Jarvis Hansen was presented with an Overall Top Student award after taking part in a training camp in Burnham. Pictured with New Zealand Blue Light chief executive Rod Bell (left), and Deputy Police Commissioner Viv Richard.
Student excels in life skills camp Jarvis Hansen of Redwood has been named the top student at a recent life skills camp at the New Zealand Defence Force base in Burnham. He beat students from across the South Island to take the prize for Overall Top Student at the week-long residential course. The programme is run by New Zealand Blue Light, the police and the defence force, and aims to help young people develop life skills and

Obesity big factor in cancer A study of the link between obesity and cancer has found that being overweight is closely linked to 10 common cancers. Researchers who undertook the biggest study of the links between body mass index and cancer said that of the 5.2 million British patient records studied over a year, 165,000 developed some form of cancer and more than 12,000 of those were connected to the patient being overweight or obese. Every five-point increase in BMI — equivalent to an increase in weight of about 17.5kg — was associated with a 62 per cent higher risk of cancer of the uterus, a 31 per cent increased risk of gallbladder cancer and a 25 per cent increased risk of cancer of the kidney, according to the study. The study, by experts at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Farr Institute, found that having a higher BMI was also linked with a greater overall risk of liver, colon, ovarian and breast cancer. Although it was already known that higher weight increases the chances of contracting certain cancers, risk
BODY MASS: Excessive weight can contribute to cancer risk. levels have never before been determined in such detail. The researchers estimate that if existing trends continue by the mid-2020s there could be more than 3500 additional cases of cancer diagnosed every year. “The number of people who are overweight or obese is rapidly increasing both in the UK and worldwide,” study leader Dr
Krishnan Bhaskaran said. “It is well recognised that this is likely to cause more diabetes and cardiovascular disease. ‘‘Our results show that if these trends continue we can also expect to see substantially more cancers as a result.” Excess weight may account for as much as 41 per cent of uterine cancer cases and 10 per
cent of gallbladder, kidney, liver and colon cancers. Precisely how body fat influences cancer risk is not fully understood. Dr Bhaskaran said the variation in its impact in different forms of cancer suggested it must be affecting risk “through a number of different processes, depending on the cancer type”.

Volunteers Needed The Red Cross recovery team couldn’t function without wonderful volunteers who give their time to help people in Christchurch.
V
olunteers make a difference every day – from driving a van to simply knocking on doors to see how people are doing. Volunteering is a great way to boost your own wellbeing at the same time as helping your community. Volunteering includes all of the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’: it helps us to connect, be active, take notice, give and keep learning. Red Cross’ Cross Town Shuttle is a volunteer-run service providing transport for people in Christchurch without transport of their own and unable to use public transport. Volunteer drivers and assistants take people to medical appointments and leisure activities, helping to combat social isolation and allow people to continue to lead full lives, regardless of the impact imposed by road works and post-earthquake infrastructure repairs. With plans to expand the service, Red
Cross needs more volunteer drivers and more volunteers to help with community outreach and door-knocking. Red Cross volunteers are a diverse bunch of people who come from a wide range of backgrounds. Before Anthony Seumanutafa was a volunteer on the Cross Town Shuttle, he used the service to help him get across the city. “I find it to be a good way to help and socialise with people, and a way to say thank you to all those for their help – three for the price of one.” This desire to help is what unites volunteers, says Christine Williams, outreach volunteer. “We are able to give time, empathy, a listening ear and often some contact numbers for further assistance to enable the person we visit to continue to move forward.” If you have a little spare time you could give, why not get in touch with New Zealand Red Cross now to find out how you could help make a difference too?

HERES THE FACTS – Stated by Richard Freeman, Director Onyx Homes Ltd Don’t believe everything you hear in the media and some building companies trying to margin enhance making ridiculous statements about huge building price increases. If you want genuine best pricing and top quality give Onyx Homes a call. You are guaranteed to talk to LOCAL industry professionals with years of experience rather than a sales person trained over night drafted into the industry with limited knowledge and zero idea on building costs working off a pre prepared song sheet. A sad but true statement in many cases. Honesty, integrity, experience and common sense always outweighs “smoke and mirrors” and unfortunately common sense is not that common in many cases. Building commodity prices ARE stable, and I will personally guarantee that.

Grab your friends, treat the kids and roll on down to New Brighton Pier for an evening of FREE fun and entertainment. Following the success of last year’s free Roller Skating Disco at the Pier, it’s all happening again on Friday 12th September, with thanks to Winter Chill. ‘Skate Me to the Moon’ starts at 5pm with family skating until 7pm and youth/adult skating from 7pm to 9pm. Phat Sk8 will have all the skating needs covered with free skates to fit toddlers through to mens size 13’s. Providing the disco beats will be White Elephant, and Mamacita’s will be on site with yummy food and drinks. The New Brighton Library will also be open late.
