Police get on top of graffiti

BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD Intense policing in an area of Riccarton appears to have cut back the amount of graffiti. A recent graffiti survey conducted to show where taggers are operating in the city showed the number of tags in a small area known as Riccarton west has steadily dropped over the past five years. It recorded just 11 in 2015, compared to 271 five years ago. Riccarton Community Watch members took part in the survey, recording where the graffiti was. Community watch co-ordinator Geoff Parfitt said he was chuffed with the results of the scan. He said a big factor behind the decrease in graffiti was down to the work done by the Riccarton Neighbourhood Policing Team. The people living in the area

have also started taking ownership of it, and that had also helped, he said. He had seen a huge difference over the years compared to when he started in the watch. “I think in that area I would have painted out 100-150 tags when I first started, over a year. “I think it’s fantastic.” The data was gathered as part of the Annual Graffiti Scan which took place in February. It was the fifth city council Annual Graffiti Scan completed, and is done yearly as a snapshot of the graffiti and to track trends within the city. The aim was to record where graffiti is so the city council could have it cleaned off, and to have a record of where taggers are operating. This year was the first time community watch patrols have been involved. •Turn to page 2

Thumbs up for Halswell youth facility plan BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD Plans to build a youth facility in a new Halswell subdivision has thrilled residents. Meadowlands subdivision will provide 320 new homes on 19ha of land off Hendersons Rd. Danne Mora Holdings Ltd and the Wayne Francis Charitable Trust are behind the subdivision, which is aimed at youth buying their first homes. The Halswell Residents Association has been battling to have a youth facility built in the Halswell township since 2007, and is currently working with the city council and community board to look for a suitable location. The association had concerns that with the residential devel-

opment in Halswell, there were a lack of youth facilities to support it and was happy to hear something would also go in at Meadowlands. Residents association secretary David Hawke said the association originally thought there was no provision for youth facilities in Meadowlands subdivision, but had since been informed there would be. He said it was fantastic, and the sort of thing he would like to see in subdivisions across the city. “What you’re really after is something that will provide a place to go for younger age groups.” Wayne Francis Charitable Trust trustee Simon Mortlock

said 20 per cent of the homes build will be set aside for first home buyers. He said there were no set ideas for a youth facility at the moment but he hoped it to be placed in the heritage park. “It will be a facility able to be used by youth.” He said there would be a lot of green space, with the park running right through the subdivision. In the park there was an expectation of having a children’s play area and places for people to meet, he said. Mr Mortlock said having construction of the subdivision begin by September or October was the expectation, but could not confirm it would be then.

Watch, Burwood-Pegasus Community Watch, City to Sumner Community Watch and Crime Watch based in Papanui. This year Spreydon was included as a new suburb and will be included as part of the annual scan from now on.

U-turn plan poses inconvenience BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board says traffic projects planned for Hornby to accommodate a new fast food restaurant are not justifiable. Last week city council staff held a seminar with the board to show other traffic projects in Hornby that tie in with a plan to remove four plane trees on Main South Rd to accommodate a U-turn facility. The turning facility would allow customers to turn into the new Carl’s Jr. restaurant which is going in at the former Clocktower site. Community board chairman Mike Mora said the board is sending a clear message it does not want the trees removed and the possible changes would be inconvenient. “We don’t think it’s justifiable for another fast food outlet.” Mr Mora said the seminar was held to brief the board on the possible projects, but expected a full report to come to the board next month. “It’s a real massive change in that area that we’re really concerned about.” The major change included installing a long median which would run from Carmen and Shands Rds to Chappie Pl. This would mean there could be no right turning in and out of both Brynley and Tower Sts off and onto Main South Rd.

GETTING THE CHOP?: The city council wants to remove four plane trees from Main South Rd to make way for a U-turn facility. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN “They were pretty keen on closing off Brynley and Tower to left out and in,” Mr Mora said. “We’re not very happy about that.” He said residents living on Brynley St would have to travel down to Springs Rd and back up Amyes and Shands Rds to get back onto Main South Rd. “A lot has been taken away from their ability to function. “It’s just a hell of an inconvenience.” The board was asked to approve the plans to cut the trees down last month, and was told it would

public consultation to see what the public thought about it. “It’s all just to allow traffic into yet another fast food outlet in Hornby.” Board member Debbie Mora said the area was already congested and a number of fast food outlets were already in Hornby, including Wendy’s, McDonalds, KFC and Hell Pizza. “We want to make the road safe, we don’t want to make it unsafe.” She said the city council was taking on the board’s concerns and would also do that if it went to public consultation.

▌IN ▌ BRIEF No sign of sculptures

Police are still no closer to finding out who stole two bronze sculptures from Halswell Quarry Park. ‘The Spheres’ were a gift to symbolise the sister city relationship between Adelaide and Christchurch and more than $50,000 of bronze was used to create them. They were reported missing on April 1. A police spokeswoman said investigations were ongoing and police are still keen to hear from anyone who may have any information as to the date of their disappearance or current location.

Bus priority project

The last public drop-in session to discuss the options for the Riccarton Rd bus priority project will be held at St Teresa’s Church Hall today from 4-7pm. The session will look at the project as a whole. Public submissions can be made at www.ccc.govt.nz/ haveyoursay and are open until May 18.

Schools enter national building competition Students from Riccarton High School and Middleton Grange School have entered a national competition to show off their building skills. They are the only schools from the city to enter in the Build-Ability Challenge which aims to promote building and construction careers to secondary school students. The challenge, which started last week, will consist of teams of up to five students who are tasked with building, painting and decorating a playhouse to defined specifications.

The playhouses must have a distinctive theme, be safe, fit-for-purpose, and showcase the construction skills of the team. The challenge runs until August 14 and their creations will be gifted to a local community group after the challenge. The winning team will take home $1000 for their school technology department. Each team will be mentored by their technology teacher and supported by a Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation Skills Broker and will

blog about their progress over the four months of the challenge. BCITO chief executive Ruma Karaitiana said the challenge aimed to actively encourage young people to consider a career in the building and construction industry. “We have a persistent shortage of young people considering education in a whole range of areas within the construction sector. The building and construction industry is still going through a period of rapid growth and demand.”

Football, fun and food

Air force lands at Villa Maria FLYING VISIT: There was great excitement on Wednesday when the Royal New Zealand Air Force paid Villa Maria College students a visit as part of its careers programme. The event marked the last visit of the Iroquois helicopter to Christchurch. The crew flew the helicopter down along the coastal route from Blenheim and will return to the training base before it is put on display at a museum.

A family fun day with football, food and a police dog handler display will be held at Halswell Domain this weekend. The event is hosted by Sunshine Football, a club for those with disabilities wanting to play football, and will take place on Sunday from 11am-3pm. The New Zealand Defence Force, police and the fire

service personel will be at the event and a series of football games will be played. Two Unimog trucks, fire engines and patrol cars will be there and a police dog handler will do a display with his dog and the games will begin shortly after. Anyone is welcome and the club would like to hear from any

player with a disability who wants to join in on the football games. The McDonald’s football pitch will be set up for the younger children to have a game and try it out. A sausage sizzle will be held and raffle tickets will also be available to buy with all proceeds going to Sunshine Football.

Submissions for Long Term Plan The city council starts its hearings into the Long Term Plan today with the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board having its time in front of the councillors. The Western News takes a look at what is in its submissions The Riccarton-Wigram Community board acknowledges that its ward is one of the leading growth areas in the city and will remain so for the next two decades. Additionally, it notes that the intent and framework of both the Land Use Recovery Plan and the Proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan reflect a clear emphasis on intensification in the post-earthquake environment. Local Capital Projects The community board supports and endorses: • Hornby Library and Service Centre • South West Leisure Centre • Halswell Skate Park The board is pleased to note the funding provision made for the Carrs Reserve Kart Club Relocation in spite of not being until 2021-22 and does request that the shifting of the Kart Club be done earlier than the time frame set out in the plan.

Bradshaw Tce Through this submission, the board seeks the inclusion of Bradshaw Tce, Riccarton, in the city council’s street renewal programme. The issue for the board is for the street to be brought up to the same standard as surrounding streets. Templeton community Residents have approached the board about historic flooding issues in and around Kirk Rd. The board understands there is no capital budget available in the plan to undertake any remedial flooding and drainage improvements and requests that funding for the work be considered for inclusion in the plan. New kerb and channel and footpaths. The board requests that funding

be assigned for these improvements on part of Dunbars Rd, part of Main South Rd, and part of Halswell Rd. Canterbury University In October 2014, the board received feedback from the Ilam and Upper Riccarton communities regarding operational changes at the university post earthquakes and the effects these changes were making on the nearby residential areas. The board requested a master plan be adopted so the residents could be engaged in the planning. The board was told funding was not available but through this submission it requests that budget provision be made to enable an appropriate plan. Community facilities rebuild The board offers its full support

PURPOSE: The Wharenui pool has a meaningful future of providing recreational services. regarding the city council’s commitment to replace the Riccarton Community Centre and associated service centre and Volunteer Library in Clarence St. However, the board is disappointed that the future of the Wharenui Pool and Recreation Centre is linked to the commissioning of the Metropolitan Sports Facility. If this is the case, the board expresses its opposition to any plans to close the Wharenui pool. In the board’s view it has a meaningful future in the aquatic recreation services it currently provides. Funding alternatives The board notes and understands the city council’s intentions in the proposed selling of assets and has some other ideas for the city council to contemplate.

• Goods and services tax on rates – that these taxes be returned to the city council to contribute towards the city’s recovery with the proviso that this be for a defined period • Regional fuel tax – as is applied in Auckland • International airport departure tax • Targeted rates – wider application across the city especially in relation to more isolated communities • Capital endowment fund – the board questions in the current financial circumstances whether the structure and purpose of the fund is still relevant to current needs. Rating levels The board expresses a concern at the impacts of the projected rate increases as set out in the plan, particularly the effects that will occur for those ratepayers on fixed incomes. It asks the city council to continue doing all it can to limit the extend of future rate rises. Strengthening communities funding The board is opposed to the intended reduction in strengthening communities discretionary grants funding. It is the board’s view that any reduction in the level of the city council’s grants funding will be detrimental to the general well being of communities and support organisations. Community boards The city’s community boards fulfil a pivotal role in the city council’s governance framework.

Providing sporting opportunities If your child has played sport at high school in Christchurch, chances are it was organised by School Sport Canterbury and assistant regional sports director, Angelina King. Reporter Kyle Knowles chats to the Avonhead resident about what her role involves, travelling the world and lining up at 5am in the morning to get into the Wimbledon tennis championships. What is your role in Christchurch sport? I’m in an office with two others and we run secondary school sport for Canterbury and the West Coast region, including Kaikoura High and Ashburton – partners who can choose to go with us or not. We go across to Mt Hutt and then over to the West Coast who we offer a service to and they are part of our region so they can come over and participate in our events. We also go over there to run events and coach and do sport development so they don’t miss out. We also run the country schools up in Amuri, Oxford and Hurunui. That is a lot of ground to cover then? Yeah there are about 56 schools including all those small schools. Is it difficult covering such a large area? Not really. For example our weekly netball competition we have, just got entries for that with 166 teams being entered. Much of our role is a co-ordination one rather than covering that wide area.

How long have you been working with School Sport Canterbury? This is my 11th year. I started in 2004, it’s been a long time. Have you enjoyed it? Yeah absolutely. I love the job as I see so much pride in a student representing their school in their school colours, while playing sport and the values behind education and sport. I guess the role has changed a bit for me too. I am not just doing event management things now but also do student officiating and coaching sessions and organising those for the students. We work with the coaching advisors at Sport Canterbury and have the CoachForce regional organisations which have coaches in those sports which we use in schools. That’s really good to see

BIG JOB: Angelina King at Pioneer Stadium, where she has helped organise a number of sporting competitions in her role at School Sport Canterbury. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN as they are our future sports stars. What do you enjoy about it the most? The variety. I think the variety of sports and working with the other people including the venues and city council people and facilities and stadium people. I guess we’re all on the same page trying to provide a sporting opportunity

for those kids and also the schools themselves. There is so much choice for students and that is pretty awesome we have anything from archery to surfing. Do you play sport yourself? I play basketball twice a week. I play for a Chinese club which plays on a Sunday and I play a supposedly social mixed competi-

tion on a Tuesday but it is never really a social game. I play tennis in the summer as well as touch rugby and I like to mountain bike a bit and go to the gym, a bit of everything really and a bit of golf too. It is nice to be involved in sport after work Did you play sport growing up? Yes, I grew up born and bred in Ashburton and always played at school. I guess I grew up in a family that played a lot of sport. Then I went to university in Dunedin and continued to play there and then I started working but always tried to play something to keep active. Did you ever play for any representative sides? No I didn’t. I play for the love of the game and the fun and being in a team and being with friends. You also play a big part in the New Zealand Chinese Association don’t you? Yes. That’s right. I’ve been on a few of the tournament organising committees that organise a big sports tournament which happens every four years and can be from 300 to 500 people from all around New Zealand. That’s been going the last 63 years. It goes around Dunedin, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington and it is a great way of fostering sporting cultural side of things for the Chinese community. This year, Canterbury won the open women’s title at the tournament in Dunedin.

for kids That must be a good feeling for you being able to help organise such an event? Yes it is and I try to use some of my knowledge around the region with the city council and other associations which I can tap into and use and make an event run smoothly. You said you were from Ashburton? Tell me a bit more about your roots. Yes, I was born there and attended Ashburton College. My grandparents came here in 1929. They came from Guangzhou, China and we have been here ever since. What did you do before joining School Sport Canterbury? I worked at the city council in the events and promotions area and then I went overseas on a typical OE for 18 months where I was based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and worked for the local council over there too. It was a good chance to travel and good to get to a lot of sporting tournaments including Wimbledon and Roland Garros then going to the US Open too. Wow so you have been to all of the tennis grand slams? Yes I have been to all of them including Roland Garros twice and I have been to Melbourne for the Australian Open four times. I have also been to the British Open when Tiger Woods played at St Andrews when he was world No 1. I also did a year over in Canada. It

was really good to experience the other side of the world. What is your favourite sporting event you have been to? Wimbledon, that’s pretty different and is very traditional. Lining up at 5am to get the first tube to the Wimbledon and then lining up again for tickets at 6am in the morning is special. The time I went, I missed out on getting a seated ticket by five people but I still got in and it was awesome. What is something you would like to go to? I would love to go the Rugby World Cup this year in the United Kingdom, but that’s just a dream. I went to the World Cup when it was in the UK 1999. I went to Murrayfield to watch the All Blacks play Scotland. It is always cool to go to All Blacks games in different countries. After being so well travelled, you must have a favourite destination? One would have to be a trip to South Africa. I did a safari two years ago and that was mind-blowing and I would love to go back. What do you like to do away from work and sport? I enjoy catching up with friends and family and going to cafes and restaurants, hanging with friends, a bit of cooking; photography and travelling and experiencing different cultures and countries.

Team approach helps Villa BY KYLE KNOWLES Villa Maria have qualified for SuperNet, Christchurch’s top high school netball competition, starting on Wednesday.

Coach Emma Southen said they have a team first approach and they make sure the team is first in everything they do. She said it was good to get through qualifying and into the premier grade as well as being good practice for the side who have been able to build connections through the court. They have five girls returning from last year’s squad and captain Maddie Gill is one to watch. “She has been in the team for three years now and she is providing great leadership on and off the court.” Southen said year 12 player Georgia Freeman is an up-and-coming star of the game and will be a key player for them in the middle of the court. Former Canterbury Tactix coach Helen Mahon-Stroud is helping out the team as a specialist coach and Southen said it was great to have someone with her experience on board. First up for Villa Maria on Wednesday is on one of the top three seeded sides, Cashmere High. St Andrew’s have had a disrupted start to their netball season but are looking to emulate the success of 2014. Coach Kirsty Carline said getting all the girls together with the cross-

over of summer sport to start preparations has proved difficult. “With summer sports that have gone on (into autumn) we’ve only just really started now into our preparation but we are really excited about the season and have a young team with lots of new players and skill.” They finished second to St Margaret’s in last year’s SuperNet competition and are looking to stay in the top two this year. Carline said they have four players back from last year’s squad and the majority of the side are year 11s and 12s but are all very promising with a lot of skill. “We’ve got two captains, goal defence, Holly Carr and centre Romana Bell. They’re both year 13 players that will give the team a lot of maturity and leadership. Carr is head girl of the school too with lots of leadership skills. “We’ve also got Kelera Nawai who can play goal keep and goal shoot. She is really tall and she’s a good target for the feeders in to the circle and quite a presence on court.” Carline said the keys to her side’s success was to be accurate throughout the court and being relentless on defence. St Andrew’s and Villa Maria join Avonside Girls’ High, Ashburton College, Rangiora High, Cashmere High and one more team which was to be found in qualifying over the weekend. •More sport, pages 9 and 11

Hornby High School

Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect

Years 7 – 13

Focusing on the ANZAC Day commemorated role of service History Field of Remembrance

A Hornby High School Year 11 History class constructed a World War I Field of Remembrance to commemorate ANZAC Day. The names on the crosses came from the Hornby memorial. Librarian Lynda Seaton helped find photos of the soldiers, their enlistment forms, and also their death notices in the local paper. The students really enjoyed putting a face and story to the name of a local Hornby soldier. History teacher Andrew Cooper taught the class drill on the school field and the class marched in rank to add their crosses to the war memorial at Hornby Primary.

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the Hornby High School community. The school marked the ANZAC Day centenary with a variety of activities, all focusing on the concept of service. Among these was a dedicated school assembly which included presentations from four of our students who had just returned from an official visit to Gallipoli; past and present members of the armed forces – ex-students and present staff; and a very moving rendition of The Last Post and Reveille, played by Siaosi Kei (Yr 10). On ANZAC Day itself, the school prefects and various staff attended the Dawn Service and then the 9am Hornby Anzac Service. At the Hornby service a number of students spoke, including our Head Students, and Siaosi Kei again played. ANZAC Day is a reminder that a quality education prepares students for their future, both academically and socially, and this includes the resilience and sense of community to face life’s inevitable difficulties with courage and purpose. Our prefects give service to our school. We are proud of these young men and women, and all our senior students, as they forge their directions in life. It is particularly noteworthy that so many of our students are committed to the principle of personal excellence and this commitment is visible in their daily lives. They have a pathway and they know what they are about. In an age of negative media

attention, there is a lot to be optimistic about for New Zealand’s future as our teenagers move into adulthood and positions of influence and leadership. Last week the school had the honour of hosting a visit by the Minister of Education, the Honourable Hekia Parata, and the Director of Education for Canterbury, Mrs Coralanne Childs. We are pleased that the Minister chose to visit Hornby HS so we were able to discuss with her directly the many positive academic and social developments that Hornby HS and our local partnership primary schools are experiencing. A major part of these developments is our whole-school rebuild. May-July is the master-planning part of the process, with the aim of producing a general outline of buildings placement. What is to be the “flow” of our new buildings? Which buildings are to be next to one another and where, on what is thankfully our sizeable school site, will the school campus be situated? Schools can be complex places, so if any member of the community wishes to talk to me about anything, please contact the office to arrange a time for this to occur. My door is open. Ngā mihi – best wishes Richard Edmundson Principal

Badminton work recognised BY KYLE KNOWLES John Morrish has been awarded the New Zealand Badminton administrator of the year, the first Cantabrian to do so. The Badminton Canterbury board chairman was presented the award at a function in Auckland during the Sky City Open held last weekend. He said he was chuffed to get the award after leading the organisation through some tough times and getting badminton back on track in Canterbury. “Canterbury Badminton has been in the doldrums the last 10 years and I came back on to the board last year. It has been going downhill for 10 years so we employed Selwyn Maister to do a review and he identified the problems we had. “So we developed a new strategic plan last year and to implement it we needed to do a restructure. Our general manager was stuck in the office and not getting around the schools promoting the sport. We changed that role and employed a coaching and development manager.” Overseeing this new direction for the sport in Canterbury is what Mr Morrish was awarded the prize for and said it was good recognition for the changes which had happened in Canterbury.

Matthew Mesman grew up playing football and looking up to former All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen, but now he is looking to fill the seat of Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale. The 18-year-old of Wigram has been picked for the New Zealand rowing junior world championship squad to race in Brazil later this year after impressing at national trials. He had played football since he was five-years-old but in year 12 at school he realised he was not going to reach the heights of playing for the All Whites so decided to take up rowing. Two years on and he is about to represent his country with an eye on being an Olympic athlete. He said his ultimate goal is to row at the Olympics at the 2020 Tokyo games so being able to row at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro venue this year is special. “Hell yeah, it should be pretty epic, we get to use the Olympic course and that’s the ultimate goal, Tokyo 2020, it’s only five years away but that would be pretty awesome.” For someone who has only been rowing for just over two years it is a meteoric rise but he has taken it in his stride and was not overwhelmed when hearing he had been named in the squad.

NOT TASTY: When left in a microwave for too long, popcorn can quickly go from cooked to burnt.

Quite a few people reported a small truck on fire on the northern motorway in Belfast last Thursday. Crews responding found it wasn’t a fire, just a vehicle with major motor problems belching clouds of black smoke. We commiserate with the owner. Sounds expensive. Any parents whose small children end up locked inside a car, must immediately fear, not only for the kids, but also for the suspicion some folks will have that somehow they’ve neglected their family. In most cases this is far from the case and deeply-concerned parents try to convince the littlies to unlock the doors without somehow starting the car. Riccarton Ave was the scene last Saturday. Two kids in a car. Two parents frantic outside. Enter green watch rescue crew from city station. Ten minutes later all is good and happy children are released to even happier parents. We go on and on about unattended cooking. Students in the boarding house of one of the city’s finest schools last Friday need to understand this includes popcorn in microwave. Left on too long, the corn went past popping to burning. It caused fire alarms to activate and two fire crews to respond. Stay at the microwave girls, it’s only a minute or so and you can rescue your snack well before the need for any fire trucks. In the early hours last Sunday a resident of Halswell, saw smoke rolling around the Port Hills. It looked huge. They reported it. Thankfully, the responding crews found only sea fog.

HEALTH

Simple Living well can be as simple as adjusting your routine to add more exercise and nutrients WE ARE more concerned than ever before about living a healthy lifestyle. However, implementing dietary changes and adopting an exercise routine can prove to be overwhelming. A recent Gallup poll found that nine out of 10 consumers say they try to include fruit and vegetables on their plates, but they are not necessarily succeeding. “Simple everyday swaps can make the difference in achieving a healthy lifestyle,” says registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, author of The Flexitarian Diet. “We live in a busy society, and no one diet fits all. Focus on small daily shortcuts that are realistic and will have a lasting impact.” Try these simple swaps, which can make a difference in realising your goals:

Swap your sedentary internal office meeting for a “walking meeting”. Instead of meeting in a conference room for 30 minutes, make a few trips around the office building.

Experts gather in Christchurch to discuss stroke-related issues Close to 100 experts, engineers, physiologists, clinicians, medical academics and students from around the world will discuss the impact of new technology on helping recovering patients at an international stroke rehabilitation conference in Christchurch.

eynote speakers from the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand will talk about neuroscience and neural recovery, clinical research and commercialisation. The May 10 to 12 conference is being hosted by the University of Canterbury Rose Centre for Stroke Recovery and Research at St George’s Medical Centre. The conference is the only one of its kind in New Zealand to target stroke rehabilitation specialists with a focus on applied biotechnology. Strokes cost the New Zealand health bill about $450 million a year. The Rose Centre’s deputy director Dr Phoebe Macrae says there is increasing need for novel and innovative treatments to reduce the

True

burden of strokes, such as mortality, pneumonia and dehydration. “Research has shown that Maori and Pasifika people in New Zealand have a much higher incidence of suffering a stroke than their European counterparts. This research also highlights that the average age of stroke is significantly younger in these populations, by an average of 10 to 15 years. Twenty-five percent of people who recover from their first stroke will have another one within five years. “At any point in time, there will be over 32,000 New Zealanders who have survived their initial stroke but are living with the disabilities arising from a stroke. These people require ongoing and intensive

rehabilitation to improve their quality of life. “Factors such as unhealthy diet, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking and lack of physical exercise will also result in a higher prevalence of stroke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and a common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. The incidence of stroke in New Zealand is high compared to other developed countries with over 9000 new stroke events each year and over 2500 deaths attributable to this condition. “At the university’s Rose Centre, we are focusing on addressing all aspects of poststroke rehabilitation. We want to develop and provide clinical services for stroke patients that meet patients’ clinical needs and also allow patients to contribute to research that will help others. We are looking to create bioengineering applications that will facilitate recovery by allowing patients greater access to intervention techniques.”

“At any point in time, there will be over 32,000 New Zealanders who have survived their initial stroke but are living with the disabilities arising from a stroke. These people require ongoing and intensive rehabilitation to improve their quality of life.
