Support surges for sports hub site BY GRACE CABELL More than 90 per cent of submissions received by the city council are in support of having a sports hub at Nga Puna Wai. City councillors are considering submissions for the development proposal through a public hearings tomorrow and Wednesday. And although only 10 per cent oppose it, many of those are

residents living near the proposed development. They say having the sports hub development at the southwest site will have a major impact on their lives. City council recreation and sports unit manager John Filsell said the hearings process will give elected members the chance to “really nail down” the issues by the submitters before a final decision was made.

“This development is about catering to all of Christchurch and beyond, and these deliberations will help everyone reach the best possible outcome,” said Mr Filsell. “The remaining 10 per cent, 488 submitters, did not support the proposal, with most of their concerns being around the A & P Association,” he said.

• From page 1 “It may seem some distance away from the city centre now but in another 10 to 20 years we will have expanded out to there,” he said. Mr Filsell said a total of 4237 people supported the development going ahead at Nga Puna Wai. The public hearings would run from 9am each day, where a panel made up of five councillors will hear from the 26 submitters who requested a chance to speak. Some of the speakers included Hillmorton residents group member Philip Robinson and Canterbury A & P Association event manager Geoff Bone. Following this the panel would recommend to the full city council whether to proceed with the development. The facility would combine an athletics track, hockey turfs, indoor and outdoor tennis courts and sports fields. The final decision whether to proceed with the development will be made in March/April 2015. The city council has committed $6.7 million towards the development of the athletics track.

Bring it on at Buskers BY GRACE CABELL When 19-year-old William Findlay was called up on stage as part of a buskers act he said he was not embarrassed. Beckoned as “the boy in the spotted shorts” his tasks included jumping up on the shoulders of a stranger. The World Buskers Festival has been running in Christchurch from Thursday January 15, ending on Sunday 25. Mr Findlay, of Ilam, said the whole experience of being picked to go up on stage was “pretty fun.” He said it was not the first time he had been called up by a busker to go on stage. “I was expecting it this time,” he said. Mr Findlay was called up on stage by Wellington duo Zane and Degge. The pair performed a routine which included fire-juggling, unicycles and zebra leggings. Performer Zane said so far the festival had been fabulous and consistently hot. “We had a hilarious one last night [January 18] when we got the men up - and they all looked exactly the same, with big beards and all. Except one of them was in woman’s pants - we don’t quite know why.” He said the way to pick people from a crowd was “a bit of an art.” “We go for smiley people. The way to go is to feel you’re not likely to get picked. We want people who will be comfortable,” he said. His counterpart and brother, Degge, said it paid to be prepared. “Trying not to get picked will just get you picked,” he said.

A new bus stop will be constructed outside Avonhead Shopping Centre following requests from residents.

Double, double, toil and trouble The annual Summer Shakespeare Festival will start on February 11 with Top Dog Theatre bringing Macbeth to Mona Vale gardens. Reporter Bridget Rutherford spoke to director Derek Doddington about performing outside, theatre hiccups and the tricks to regaining your voice. So Derek, tell me a bit about yourself. I grew up in North London. I travelled to New Zealand in 1988 and stayed in Hawera in Taranaki, for a while and my wife and I knew we wanted to come back. We moved over in 1999 and spent about a month in Auckland, a month in Wellington and then came to Christchurch. We spent about a month in each and Christchurch won. It is very peaceful and a good place for a family. God didn’t tell us about the earthquakes but we’ve survived. And I understand you live in Mt Pleasant, how long have you lived there? We rented for a year in Mt Pleasant when we first came to Christchurch. We’re up on the hill. My wife Louise had got work and I’d got work and there was no way she was going to get off the hill, she loves it too much. Tell me about your family. Louise is a doctor and we have three kids aged 17, 15 and 13. My two eldest girls were born in England and my youngest son was born here in New Zealand. So what do you do for work?

I spend three days a week working at Statistics New Zealand. I’m a statistician so that bores people at dinner parties and I am also a property investor so I buy houses and do them up. It keeps me busy a couple of days a week. And then there is the theatre company, we’ve been running Top Dog for about 12 years and this will be our eleventh Summer Shakespeare Festival. You started Top Dog Theatre, how did it come about? We did our first play in 2002, it was a Steven Berkoff and it was successful so we thought ‘lets do another one’ and I just formed a company. We just have fun, it’s a non-profit organisation and we put on one or two shows a year. I don’t have a theatre or premises or anything. We just do what we want to do. Some of the stuff I do maybe others don’t want to do it because

– Macbeth tests director We’re at books down now, where no one can look at their scripts, and that’s when everything falls apart. But we’re on track. We rehearse on the Mona Vale lawn where we will be performing. Why did you choose Mona Vale gardens? I started an open air theatre company back in the UK. That is what I specialise in and that’s what the Summer Shakespeare Festival is. The beauty over there is you have all those castles and buildings and that’s what we used to perform in. We don’t have that here so I picked Mona Vale, it’s almost like a natural amphitheatre. I found it about 13 years ago and we’ve stuck there ever since, it’s just so perfect. We put up a bit of a set but you’ve just got to go with the audience’s imagination. So what is it like performing outside compared to inside? It is very different, all microphoned. It’s very large and we might have 400 to 500 people in the audience so sometimes you can’t tell who is speaking because it comes out of the speakers. So it’s much more physical, you’ve got to make sure you immediately catch the audience’s eye so they know who is speaking. The weather is also a factor. What do you do when it is raining? I usually make a call at 6pm, if we’ve got 250 people in their rain gear ready to watch the play we will do it, it has to be pretty bad for us not to go ahead. We’ve got no light-

ing so as long as it’s not dangerous it can rain in the middle of a performance and we can push on through. The worst we’ve had has been three called off, and the best we’ve done is the whole bloody lot. What has been some of the biggest hiccups you have had while working in theatre? Years ago when I was playing a role in a production I just walked on and thought ‘I have no idea what I’m meant to say’ so I went onto a speech that I was meant to say later. Then I realised what I was actually meant to be saying and I said “well enough of that, I’ll tell you that later”. You have some technical issues like people forgetting to turn their microphones back on when they go on stage. I once had an actor who went off stage and forgot to turn his microphone off and said “I was f***ing hopeless tonight” and we thought ‘oh my god his microphone is still on!’ That was pretty awful.

You cover the lines with a piece of paper and you write down what you think it is, and then check it. It is not until you write down the lines word for word that

Not just fires. This week saw nearly 50 per cent more call-outs than average. The dry weather continues and we saw a rural vegetation fire going from one metre across to 50m in a matter of minutes. There was also a mix of non-fire incidents attended by our crews. Fourteen ambulance assists, a handful of car crashes and 80-odd false alarms added to the mix. Last Wednesday, Addington’s crew helped a lady whose house was flooding. Some innovative plumbing adjustment to the cistern’s ballcock worked in this case. Later the same day a three-yearold became stuck in a cat door and apparently he was very unimpressed about the predicament. On Sunday, the smell of gas in a Beckenham home was traced to rotting vegetables in the green bin, and later that day Templeton Primary School received good old Fire Service treatment when the hot water cylinder burst and firefighters responded with our special wet vacs from the city station to assist in the clean-up. That evening a lady in Hoon Hay was concerned that a cord that had wrapped itself in a fan might set the place on fire and Addington again went to the rescue to untangle the appliance.

One of my favourites would be Much Ado About Nothing, but The Merchant of Venice is probably my best. I have played Shylock twice, once in the UK and once here. He is fantastic, one of my favourites of all time. I also love Steven Berkoff. I’ve done four of his plays. He was a great writer in the 60s and 70s. He writes really gritty stuff. • Macbeth opens on February 11 and runs through to February 21 at the Mound Lawn, Mona Vale gardens.

Does your child suffer from asthma?

Clinical pharmacist Amy Chan, a doctoral student in the University of Auckland, is the lead author on the paper. “We know one of the key reasons for children not taking their medication is parent and patient forgetfulness. The Smartinhaler reminder system is now clinically proven to be a real solution to the problem,” she says. “What we’ve been able to establish for the first time with this study is that the ringtone Smartinhaler significantly improves adherence to preventative medication, which results in improved quality of life for children with asthma. It’s hugely exciting,” says Chan.

The new Smartinhaler delivers results

ew Zealand has the second highest rates of asthma in the world, and one in four Kiwi children experiences asthma symptoms. Despite this, regular adherence to asthma medication is poor. However, a new smart asthma inhaler with an audiovisual function has dramatically improved child and adolescent use of preventive asthma medication. The users also experienced significant improvements to their symptoms, wellbeing and quality of life, and needed their reliever medication less frequently. The University of Auckland study, funded by Cure Kids and the Health Research Council, showed a significant improvement in night time awakening, coughing and wheezing. Professor Ed Mitchell, Cure Kids Chair of Child Health Research and supervisor of the study’s lead author Amy Chan, says he is “absolutely staggered by the size of the effect. To see the improvement in the lives of these children is astounding”. The participants also reported taking part in more sports and family activities. Parents reported feeling less frightened by their child’s asthma. New Zealand digital health company Nexus6 Ltd created a new Smartinhaler device

True

called the SmartTrack, which was used in the study. The device has 14 different ringtones, which are cycled so users don’t get reminder fatigue. The SmartTrack reminder is only triggered when a dose is missed. The results were published this month in The Lancet Respiratory Medical Journal. To the researchers’ knowledge, this is the largest study in the world to investigate the effects of an inhaler device with audio-visual reminder function on asthma adherence and outcomes in children and adolescents. It is also the first to show significant benefits in asthma outcomes and quality of life. The results are expected to gain international interest. The randomised controlled trial recruited 220 children between the ages of six and 15 who presented to emergency departments with asthma symptoms. The study was random, with half of the participants receiving a SmartTrack device for use with their preventive or ‘orange’ inhaler that had the audio-visual elements turned on, and the other half receiving the same device with the audio-visual elements turned off. Participants were followed up every two months for six months and general asthma control was checked.

the users also experienced significant improvements to their symptoms, wellbeing and quality of life and needed their reliever medication less frequently. Robbie Kelso-Heap (7) with the new SmartTrack device

Key findings from the study were: • Medication adherence rate for the patient group given the audio-visual enabled SmartTrack inhaler were 84 per cent compared to 30 per cent for the control group. This equals a 180 per cent increase in medication adherence. • The use of emergency medication or the ‘blue’ inhaler was significantly reduced. The median percentage days on which a reliever was used in the intervention group was 9.5 per cent compared to 17.4 per cent in the control group. This equals a 45 per cent reduction in rescue medication use. • Symptoms, wellbeing and quality of life for the children were significantly improved.

With Alan’s training and experience, powerfully significant change can often be achieved in just 1 or 2 sessions.

Children in the study were also given a Smartinhaler tracker for their rescue or ‘blue’ inhaler to measure the amount of rescue medication they used. The device was able to objectively count date and time of rescue medication use. This provided a good indication of asthma being out of control. When symptoms worsened, participants used their rescue reliever inhaler (blue inhaler), which is also known as a rescue medication because it provides immediate relief. Recent studies have shown that overuse of the blue inhaler is a predictor of worsening asthma and general morbidity. The study found that use of the rescue medication was significantly reduced in the group using the Nexus6 Smartinhaler reminder device.

Laugh Lounge @ Mashina

he sound of uproarious laughter rang out from beneath the Christchurch Casino at the World Buskers Festival Laugh Lounge @ Mashina on January 15. Fresh from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standup comedy circuit, some of the hottest and newest talent came to Mashina to entertain Christchurch. The crowd trickled in at first, but there was no time to relax as the choice seats began to be snapped up, some audience members choosing the least prominent ones, hoping the comedians would not pick them to participate in the onstage madness. Afterwards, the fans went off home with sides still splitting from the fun.

The outcome is different, depending on the use of a comma or two. “That is why proofreaders are valued members of the publishing industry,” says Brian Morris, principal of New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. “An errant comma can change everything.

Chasing kea and kiwi Nursing graduates

t can be a little challenging keeping up with Mat Goodman’s projects. A graduate of CPIT’s Sustainability and Outdoor Education programme and a talented filmmaker, he certainly has a few employment options to explore. If he’s not looking for keas in the Southern Alps or crows in New Caledonian ‘cloud forests’, then he’s filming relocated kiwis or more lately Hector’s dolphins in the Marlborough Sounds. Actually, keas are not hard to find. They are highly inquisitive and love to play as Mat found out while filming a documentary produced by a German team that compared the intelligence of New Zealand’s kea and New Caledonia’s native crows (both species can problem solve and use tools to get to a reward – in this case, food). The visuals of the birds and the landscapes are stunning, and the film is both entertaining and informative. But behind the scenes, there is obviously a lot of work involved in reaching remote places and getting the right shot. For Mat, an underlying motivation in helping to make these documentaries is to educate people about nature and sustainability. This motivation developed while he was studying at CPIT. “The programme certainly changes your lifestyle and allows you to be content with the way you are living,” he says.

take you anywhere. CPIT nursing graduates are working in varied roles all over the world in exciting destinations.

CPIT graduate Mat Goodman’s work in sustainability and documentary making takes him around the world.

The Bachelor of Sustainability and Outdoor Education is unique in Australasia as the only outdoor education degree that includes sustainability as a major component. Students develop outdoor pursuits and education skills alongside environmental and sustainability leadership. They graduate with an understanding of natural environments and how to help people appreciate these environments. It is certainly a programme for our times with an emphasis on the sustainability of our planet. Graduates of the programme can be found leading outdoor adventures, teaching others and helping to implement sustainability projects as well developing their own projects.

ead of nursing Dr Cathy Andrew says CPIT is one of the largest nursing schools in New Zealand and consistently has the highest employment rates nationally. “With a CPIT Bachelor of Nursing degree, you can go anywhere in the world and work as it is recognised internationally,” Andrew says. “You can work in a wide range of specialties, from mental health, to emergency, to geriatric, to community work.” Many CPIT graduates are working in

clinical nursing roles around the world, in the UK, Middle East, North America and Australia. Others are employed in health leadership and management nationally and internationally. Dr Jane O’Malley, the chief nurse at the Ministry of Health, is a CPIT graduate. Jean O’Callaghan, another graduate and former chief executive of the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), is now chief executive of the Dorset County Hospital NHS Trust in the UK. Closer to home, graduate Rekha Devi is a facilities manager at Cornwall Park Hospital in Auckland, while William Jones is a post anaesthetic care nurse for CDHB, and Olivia Sanders is a paediatric nurse at Christchurch Hospital and Rochelle Pereiro is a registered nurse at Pegasus Health in Christchurch. Pererio says she learns something new everyday. “There are so many different jobs you can get with nursing,” she says. “If you like working with children, you can specialise in paediatrics or if you like research you can go into that area. I like that you’re not stuck in one thing.” To learn more about studying nursing at CPIT, email info@cpit.ac.nz or give us a call on 0800 242 476. Visit www.cpit.ac.nz.

urrently studying a Diploma in Beauty Therapy at The National School of Aesthetics, Jordan Taylor “enjoys the practical application of ideas”, and the beauty programme is the perfect opportunity for her to gain these strengths. She’s passionate about makeup, waxing, manicure and electrology. Despite no secondary school qualifications due to lack of interest at school, Jordan’s strong grades at NaSA reflect her passion in the beauty field. After researching other beauty institutions, Jordan chose NaSA as she respected NaSA’s professionalism, strong reputation and welcoming staff. She also feels her classmates make her study more enjoyable. Jordan’s not only starting a beauty career for herself but also for her two children, Ashton (6) and Noah (3). NaSA’s 9am to 1pm class

times have helped her negotiate study and motherhood. “Without NaSA’s flexible hours, it would have been impossible for me to study,” Jordan says. Other challenges include completing larger projects and homework while ensuring her children’s needs are met. Her children have grown to have “a deeper understanding of homework”. After completing her diploma, she plans to study NaSA’s Certificate in Nail Technology. Once Jordan has mastered these skills, she’ll rom art to yoga and everything in open her small business from home while between, you are guaranteed to find “comfortably negotiating my role as a mother”, something to tempt you regardless and eventually develop it into a commercial of age or interest.

‘Try an Instrument Day’ A foothold at the Christchurch within the industry

School of Music

Have you always wanted to play an instrument but don’t know what would suit you?

r is your child having trouble deciding whether to learn the flute or the violin? Choosing the right instrument can be daunting but the Christchurch School of Music (CSM) is once again holding its famous ‘Try an Instrument Day’ to help you decide. Come along this Saturday to Catholic Cathedral College between 10am and 12pm where, no matter what your age, you can hear the instruments being played and have a go yourself with the help of our instrument specialists. It’s important that you love the sound of the instrument you choose and that it is the right size and weight for you. As well as providing tuition in most instruments, CSM offers students the chance

to play in a wide range of ensembles, so come along to find out more. We also offer low-cost instrument hire (subject to availability) for string, woodwind and brass instruments. If affordability is an issue, CSM can provide financial support of up to 50 per cent through funding provided by the Canterbury Community Trust. Visit www.csm.org.nz for contact details and more information about CSM.

oraki Polytechnic’s hairdressing programme is a cut above the rest and gives its students the confidence and practical skills they need to give themselves a foothold within the industry. Second year student Jade Mason (28) heard about the polytechnic’s hairdressing course through a friend and decided to apply as it would give her the skills she needed to move into an industry which had always interested her. Jade completed the polytechnic’s Certificate in Hairdressing (Level 3) in 2013 and began her second year of training in 2014 through the polytechnic’s Certificate in Professional Hairdressing (Level 3). During her second year of study, she began working at Tangles Hair Design on Saturdays and has earned herself a full-time job at the salon in 2015. Jade said when she was not cutting, colouring or styling in the studio, she was kept busy as a mother to her three-yearold son. With a little one to look after at home, she believed a course suited her schedule better than an apprenticeship, which became part of her reason to enrol at Aoraki. Jade said she loved the atmosphere of the course as it had “built up (her) confidence” to work on the necessary skills needed to ply her trade as a hairdresser. “I’m very self-motivated to be here,” she said.

Jeanette Wilson the UK medium who astounded Good Morning and 20/20 audiences will be appearing at the Woolston Club on Wednesday. Jeanette was also the star of the TV3 series Dare to Believe that put her gifts as a medium and a healer to the test each week. The show is a mix of messages that give comfort and closure from loved ones who have passed over and amazing healing by spirit world surgeons who work through Jeanette. You can see examples of the kind of results Jeanette gets on her You Tube Channel. Audience members are invited to bring along a camera with a flash to photograph spiritual phenomena. The show starts at 7:30pm and tickets are $45 from the Club and 0800 453 2638 (0800 4JEANET) Jeanette is also the author of four books Medium Rare, Rare Moments, Dare to Believe and Backstage with Jeanette.
