Patrols cut amid burglary spike BY GABRIELLE STUART The Riccarton Community Watch has had to cut back its daytime patrols, at the same time as there has been a spike in daytime burglaries in the area. They have had to cut back to just one daytime patrol a week, because of a lack of volunteers. They usually run daytime patrols at least four days a week. At the same time, Riccarton Community Constable Ken Carter said there had been several daytime burglaries reported each month in Riccarton. “There are always some burglaries that happen, but we usually do see burglaries happen in groups or patterns, and there have been more
than usual here.” The Riccarton Community Watch has been working in the area for more than 10 years, so he said it was difficult to say how much they had reduced crime. But he believed the patrols did deter people from committing crimes. “They are very valuable in having a presence out there. It comes down to every pair of eyes and ears we can get out there makes a difference.” A Fendalton resident Gary, who is also a member of the Riccarton Community Watch, had his home burgled during the day this month. He did not want his last name used. • Turn to page 3

Hornby pupils support elderly
Hornby Primary School pupils gave a concert at the Woodcote Retirement Village last week, in an effort to support the senior citizens in their community. About 20 pupils took part, as part of the community project part of the Kiwi Can programme, which is aimed at helping young people develop confidence and life skills. The pupils worked throughout the term rehearsing their concert pieces, organising their uniforms and weaving flax flower and fish to give as gifts. The concert was a huge success inviting three encores from their audience. Then the children introduced themselves to the resi-
dents and had individual conversations giving out the gifts they had bought. One resident, Whae Wiki, was particularly impacted. Te Reo Maori was her first language, and as she aged English had become increasingly challenging. During the visit she was surrounded by pupils who are enrolled in the emersion class, and she chattered back happily. “It bought tears to my eyes,” said Kiwi Can leader Katie Hermansen. “In that moment I knew all the hard work had been worth it.” The pupils are now planning a Christmas concert at the rest home.

Former student wins flight home to school reunion The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School reunion will be a special one for one former pupil, who will travel across the globe to be reunited with her family, friends and former schoolmates. Former student Katherine Free has lived in the United Kingdom for the past 30 years. She has had her flights back to New Zealand paid for by Singapore Airlines, after winning the school 125th anniversary historic photo competition this month. Her sister, Claire Mulcock, lives in Riccarton, and said she was looking forward to the reunion. “I was having breakfast on Monday morning when she rang me to say she won the competition, so it definitely made my week a bit better! She was very excited.” It has been two years since the sisters last saw one another. Ms Free returned to Christchurch in 2012 to see her mother, who was very sick and
has since died. Ms Mulcock said their father was nearly 88, so her sister was very glad she would have another opportunity to see him. “Its tough for her not being around when he’s getting older. You just don’t know what might happen when you’re so far away.” She said Ms Free had moved to the UK for her OE more than 30 years ago, but had settled down and ended up staying there. She said it was difficult to be so far apart. “There’s Skype and emails, and I have been able to travel over there to visit her a couple of times. But it’s not the same as being able to drop in for the weekend.” The sisters will be reunited at the school 125th anniversary House Party, which will be held at Te Koraha historic house in November.

Roundabout concerns BY TOM DOUDNEY A trucking industry representative has expressed concern about a roundabout singled out for criticism by police.
MORE CRITICISM: A truck going through a busy roundabout at the intersection of Springs Rd and Halswell Junction Rd. The New Zealand Trucking Association has concerns about the intersection.
Concerns over the Springs Rd/ Halswell Junction Rd roundabout came after a truck rolled at the nearby Southern Motorway and Halswell Junction Rd roundabout last week. New Zealand Trucking Association chief executive David Boyce was not aware of any problems with the Southern Motorway roundabout but said the Springs Rd roundabout was badly designed. Of the nine injury crashes at the Springs Rd roundabout in the last six years, three had involved trucks. In the same period, there had been 12 non-injury crashes. Five of the crashes involved a truck either failing to give way or changing lanes, while in the other crash, the truck driver lost control. “It’s very easy to blame the drivers but I believe the reality is that the camber (degree of slope) on the road is too much for the intersection,” he said. “Part of the problem is the approaches from the motorway and from Halswell Junction Rd are higher and the Springs Rd side is lower than the roundabout, so I think the profiling on that side slopes away a bit too much.” Part of the danger was also the fact that the roundabout sloped towards the outside, rather than the middle, a concern which had been highlighted
when Australian roading authority VicRoads had recently run a truck rollover prevention programme in New Zealand. “One of the things that came out of that programme pretty loud and clear is that [in Australia] they tend to design their roundabouts to camber into the middle, with the drainage in the middle for this very reason,” Mr Boyce said. Police senior Sergeant Pete Stills recently told The Star that he was concerned about the design of the Springs Rd roundabout, due to the potential for drivers in the two lanes to cut accross the path of another vehicle. Canterbury Bulk Freight director Alex Cowdell said camber was a problem for truck drivers at several intersections around Christchurch,
however driver error was usually the primary factor. “At the end of the day, the majority of these accidents are caused by speed but the design of the road is such that if you are not extremely careful with a heavy load and a high centre of gravity truck and trailer, you can easily end up in a rollover situation,” Mr Cowdell said. A New Zealand Transport Agency spokeswoman said the camber was checked to see if it confirmed to recognised New Zealand design standard and it did. NZTA highways manager Colin Knaggs has said the design of the Springs Rd roundabout will be changed when construction on stage two of the Southern Motorway begins in 2015.

• From page 1 He said the burglars broke into his house just after 2pm, while he and his wife were at work. They stole whatever they could fit in the car they were driving, and left. The couple had a burglar alarm installed, which went off – but because there had been several false alarms when pets set the alarm off, the neighbours did not report it. Gary believed that if the community patrol had been seen in the area, it might have put the burglars off. “I feel it has a benefit, because the more times we have our car slowly driving around the community the better. But some of these people are desperate.” Community watch co-ordinator Geoff Parfitt said the patrol still had about 25 members, but many worked during the day and could only patrol at night. “The majority of burglaries are happening between 10am and 4pm during the day, because people can drive down the street and say that house is empty, and that house is empty and they have no one to interrupt them.” Anyone interested in joining the patrol should email Mr Parfitt at riccomwatch@netaccess.co.nz, or phone Westfield Riccarton on 983 4500.

ern Motorway roundabout had seen eight crashes since it opened in 2012, two of which involved trucks. The first happened when a truck entered the roundabout too quickly and in the second instance the truck was hit by an oncoming car which failed to give way. Mr Knaggs said the roundabout had been built to the Australasian standard for safe road design and it would be removed when stage two of the Southern Motorway was built. “Considering the volume of traffic using the new Southern Motorway, the number of reported crashes are within the levels of what we would expect,” he said. Toll, the company which owns the truck that crashed last week, did not respond to a request for comment.

Farmers opens new store in Hornby The opening of Farmers’ latest development store at The Hub Hornby on Wednesday marks the first part of a $50 million expansion. The expansion will see a new food court and specialty stores open at The Hub upon completion in late 2015. The new two-level 6000 sq m store replaces what was previously the smallest Farmers outlet in the country, at 1200 sq m. Farmers chief executive and managing director Rod McDermott said the new store reflected growth in the community which was evident even prior to the earthquakes but had accelerated since. The new store would feature the latest fit out, including ceramic tiles, textured wallpaper, paint colour schemes and surface finishes which had been chosen to compliment each department. A Steven’s kitchenware store was part of the top floor.
The Hub centre manager Jason Marsden said the new store reflected the very latest in department store design and offering which he believed was “right up there at an international level.” Mr Marsden said it would feature departments which the previous store hadn’t been able to because of its size, such as furniture, whiteware and homeware. By the time redevelopment was completed, The Hub would include 20 new stores such as Pascoes The Jewellers, Stirling Sports and LookSmart Alterations as well as six or seven new food court operators. Some of the new stores were also expected to open this week. Mr Marsden said around 18 existing stores, such as Whitcoulls, were being revamped, expanded or otherwise altered.

Spring gardening?
Protect your body with Muscle People’s top tips
A
s the days warm up, so do our green fingers. But gardening isn’t all soil and sunshine. It can be surprisingly hard on our bodies particularly for lower back pain and knee pain. When gardening, about 80 to 90 per cent of our movement is in a bent position, which is unnatural on the body, and when prolonged can lead to lower back pain. But don’t put your spade and gloves away just yet. There are plenty of easy moves you can make to prevent injury while tending to your garden. Preparation – Even though you’re not at the gym, it’s still a workout for your body - warm up with some stretches before you start. Try this stretch: lie flat on your stomach and, with feet and hips firmly on the ground, push your head and chest up while arching your back, take care not to poke the neck forward. Even better, prepare to garden by doing some core exercises like squats or lunges, as these movements are used a lot
with gardening, or even walking down to get the morning paper will help. Change positions – When possible, change position frequently. Prolonged bending or repetitive twisting can put a lot of stress on your back. Use a small stool to sit on if you can. Try this stretch: while standing, put your hands on your hips and slowly bend backwards a few times. Use this time to take a walk around and have a drink to keep yourself hydrated as well. Digging – When digging in your spring mulch, try to use your legs as much as possible in a squatting position. Change the direction that you are facing so that you are not straining the same area for a prolonged
period of time. Weeding – Squat to pull weeds out of the ground rather than bending from the spine only. Knee protection – If you will be kneeling for a while, use knee pads or a cushion, or try to kneel on just one knee at a time. Pace yourself – Spread tasks over a few days if you’re not used to lots of labouring. If you’re sore, seek help – the team at Muscle People Physiotherapy can massage your sore muscles, or if you’ve injured yourself, we can provide physiotherapy to help get you back to where you want to be. For ACC accidents and injuries, we can lodge the claim for you; you don’t need to see your GP first. Contact Muscle People Physiotherapy city clinic on 961 0236 or Bishopdale clinic on 360 3606.
*Disclaimer: these exercises are given assuming no pre-existing injuries. If you have an injury and are concerned about these exercises, give us a call first.

Full steam ahead for Rutherford
Jean Gladwyn, Susie Meade
T
he age of steam and the era of the atom may be worlds apart, but they met head on at a cocktail party recently at Canterbury Museum on September 4. A model of the steam locomotive named Lord Rutherford of Nelson, in honour of New Zealand’s most distinguished physicist Ernest Rutherford, was put on display at the museum. Originally a gift to Lord Rutherford’s grandson Patrick Fowler when as an eight-year-old boy, he participated in the engine’s naming ceremony at London’s St Pancras Station in December 1935. Mr Fowler subsequently donated the replica to this country, presenting it to the patron of the Rutherford’s Den Trust Margaret Austin last year in Beaminster, England. Lord Rutherford of Nelson will be displayed at Canterbury Museum until moving to a permanent home at Rutherford’s Den following refurbishment in 2015.

120. The diastolic BP (the lower figure) is the pressure in the arteries between beats and, at rest, this should be between 60 to 70. In around 90 per cent of cases, high blood pressure is caused by an increase in the resistance to blood flow in the blood vessels. It is believed inflammation and stiffness of the blood vessels are major reasons for this increased resistance. Checking our blood pressure on a regular basis allows us to adjust our diet and lifestyle and see the benefits in our BP readings. Blood pressure monitors and further info on how to improve your overall health and BP naturally is available from the natural health advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton. Phone 388 5757.
lood pressure is an indicator of cardiovascular as well as overall health. An area in the brain keeps check on blood flow to ensure health of all cells and the organs they make up. If blood flow is reduced, the brain will try to normalise blood flow by adjusting the heart strength, frequency (pulse rate) as well as the width of blood vessels, all via the nervous system. A higher BP is considered a major risk factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure and heart failure. If we can maintain our BP in the normal range, our overall health will be improved. Systolic BP (the upper figure) is when the heart contracts and pushes blood around the body. At rest, this should be between 100 to
CoQ10 reduces all causes of mortality by 50 per cent
R
esearchers were amazed with the results of how beneficial a natural nutrient coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human body. CoQ10 is a natural enzyme in the body’s cells that is essential for cell function, energy and survival. In a recent multi-country double-blind trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to protect against heart failure, 420 patients with severe heart failure were given CoQ10 or a placebo and then followed for two years. To the amazement of the researchers, the patients who received the CoQ10
had a 50 per cent reduction in an adverse cardiovascular event or death compared to the placebo patients. The patients on the CoQ10 had a 50 per cent reduction in death not only from cardiovascular events but from all causes. According to lead study author professor Mortensen, this study is the first in over a decade to show a natural nutrient can reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10 should be added as a standard treatment for anyone with cardiovascular complaints.

BLOOD PRESSURE UNITS HELP IMPROVE LIFE EXPECTANCY! Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life expectancy. Checking our B/P on a regular basis is a positive step & allows us to make changes to our lifestyle, diet & nutrition when necessary.
OUR TOP OF THE LINE BLOOD PRESSURE UNITS OFFER: • Advanced micro-computer intelligence for measurement of blood pressure, pulse & heart arrhythmia • High performance & clinically tested accuracy • Easy to use with large LCD display • High quality reliable units • Allows you to see what affects your B/P

– what can I do about it?
S
ince the earthquakes turned our lives upside down, do you have days when everything is in the “too hard” basket? Do you have times when it’s hard to concentrate or prioritise all the things which need to be done and you just can’t seem to think straight however hard you try? Maybe you’ve joked about “quake-brain” or having a “senior moment” when you have struggled to remember something important, or perhaps you just can’t recall the last time you got a good night’s sleep. Earthquakes don’t just damage the built environment; they also tear apart the fabric of everyday life, quite literally turning the world upside down for those affected. Recovery isn’t just about repairing buildings and infrastructure, communities and lives need to be rebuilt too. We know from research that Cantabrians are weary, and that traumatic events like earthquakes - and dealing with their aftermath - take their toll on our minds and our bodies in many ways. New Zealand Red Cross have learned from international experience and created a series of training
Earthquakes don’t just damage the built environment; they also tear apart the fabric of everyday life, quite literally turning the world upside down for those affected. sessions for community groups and workplaces to help us understand the science of stress and give practical tips on how we can support each other through the recovery process. Community sessions are free – all you need to provide is the venue (the workplace sessions are charged at a cost.) So if you would like to learn more about how we respond to stress and how to cope with our natural reaction to an unnatural situation, why not book a free 45-minute training session for your community group?

Risingholme is proud to announce that the new building on-site, made possible by the generosity of the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust, is now complete and is ready for community use. This sizable room is ideal for seminars, workshops, yoga classes and so on. The pottery classes held the first very successful exhibition in the room.

S
cott Fowler of Christchurch is a photography enthusiast, achieving the NZIBS graduate diploma in Freelance Photography in 2008. Since then his career has blossomed. Here’s his story.... “I now have several important accreditations for my photography: • Federation of International Art of Photography (Excellence Level) • Photographic Society of America (Proficiency Level) I achieved these by competing in international salons (competitions). “The NZIBS photography training gave me the skills and confidence to get my accreditations. Excellence level required 250 awards/
points. I achieved it with 493 different images. PSA proficiency level required 288 awards/ points with 96 images. This was a tough test of my photographic skills, but it was very rewarding. “I am now an accredited judge and an associate level photographer with the Photographic Society of New Zealand. Not bad for a middle-aged, late-starting student. “In 2012, I won the monochrome section of the Nikon Amateur Photographer of the Year. I’ve won three bronze awards and a silver award in the Better Photography Competition Australia. “I photograph weddings, events and commercials. Life is good, but it has come about by hard work and constantly improving my skill level. I guess I’m a lifetime student searching for the dynamics of taking better photographs.” Any readers who are attracted to the life of a freelance photographer or travel writer or journalist should get the package of free information from New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. Telephone 0800 801 994. *The photo shows Scott covered in mud, chasing competitors in the Christchurch Mud, Sweat and Tears Race, always looking for the perfect photo. Photo: Courtesy of Terry Casey

A
passion for hairdressing and a desire to get a qualification led Adam (17), a former Mairehau High School student, to study fulltime at Academy New Zealand’s Christchurch campus. Adam is about to complete his National Certificate in Educational Achievement Level 2. The bonus is, the course is totally free for him under the youth guarantee programme. Adam enjoys the fact that the course is mostly practical and involves working with a qualified and experienced hairdresser, learning all aspects of the hairdressing industry in the academy’s salon. Adam was placed in a local hairdressing

earning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe workplace, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. Not all workplaces are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. It is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. Dealing with minor cuts and superficial injuries or performing effective CPR can be achieved on a course of eight hours’ duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field, either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight-hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head, neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. The majority of injuries occur outside of the workplace. In fact, one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. New Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in Australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicle accidents or falls in the home. Fatalities from leisure and sport
salon for his work experience and as a result, is starting an apprenticeship with them at the end of this term. Adam loves the creative side of this industry and the challenges it provides. The academy’s training has given Adam the skills and attitude required to be successful in this industry and gaining his national certificate is an important factor in securing an apprenticeship along with Adam’s great attitude and commitment, of course. Adam is excited about starting his apprenticeship and about his future work prospects. We also provide hands-on learning to achieve national qualifications in other courses.

are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12-hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. One day you maybe be called upon to help someone in need. Will you know what to do? If you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

or the fourth year in a row, Rosebank Estate and Winery is celebrating Oktoberfest again this year. “The event keeps getting bigger and better every year” says Ernest Glad, Coowner. Like in Bavaria, the halls are beautifully decorated with décor from Germany, transforming Rosebank into a magical blue and white spectacle. Blue and white are the official colours of the Bavarian “Freistaat.” Added to this is a live Oompah Band to create a lively atmosphere. Lots of music normally played at the Munich Oktoberfest is also played. This creates a real party atmosphere and most people cannot help but sing along and dance with the tunes. Off course the singing of “Ein Prosit” gives a chance to “cool down” and relax before the next group of songs erupt. Cantabrians have shown that they can also party like the Germans do and seem to follow the motto “work hard, play hard.” "Like last year we will have lots of Bavarian food available including traditional dishes like hogs, sauerkraut, potatoes, pretzels, etc. Food will be available throughout the day with prices ranging from $10 to $25. A special menu has been created for the event," said Ernest. In order to make the event accessible to all, it is offered in four sessions over three days. The festival runs Friday 3rd October 6pm until 10pm, Saturday 4th October from 12pm until 4.00pm (Session 1) and 6pm until 10pm (session 2), and Sunday 5th October from 11am until 3pm. Doors open 30 minutes before official start times. Sunday is special Family Day where families are invited to bring the kids, play some games and relax. Special story telling sessions will be held for small children. Many fairy tales have a German origin like “Hanzel und Gretel” and kids should enjoy this. The competitions are a real treat and enjoyed by all. Couples are challenged to eat a biscuit off each other's chest, with their hands tied. In order to invite people to dress for the occasion, Rosebank will this year offer prizes for the most traditionally dressed lady and gentlemen (in Lederhozen and Dirndl). Also, do not forget the traditional beer competition. For those that do not have the right gear, some hats, etc are available at a minimal price. The event cannot be called an Oktoberfest without some great beers. The specially brewed Glättenbrau (Lager) is always a favourite as well as the locally brewed Bavarian Pilsner by Wigram Brewery. This year a German “Weissbeer” will also be available on tap. And everyone has to try at least one of the imported German beers of which a large variety is available. German style wines like Riesling and Gewürtztraminer are popular with the ladies. Entry is $10 if paid before the event ($12 at the door). Book and pay for your tickets now and get early site entry to select tables (30 minutes prior to start of event). And sorry, nobody is permitted to remain on site between Oktoberfest sessions. Advance bookings are strongly recommended by phoning 323 7353 or email bookings@rosebank.co
