Club president Kevin Cole said the population movement from the east of Christchurch to the west, including to Rolleston, meant more retail was needed. “Numbers had dwindled [for the bowling club] and it was a

We originally wanted another large business to use the land but decided to go smaller. We are happy with the six tenants we have got as they cover a bit of everything,� he said.

▌IN ▌ BRIEF THREE-CAR CRASH St John responded to a three-car collision at the intersection of Shands and Marshs Rds on September 27. Both the ambulance and rapid response were dispatched to the scene and arrived around 10am. One person was taken to Christchurch Hospital’s emergency department with moderate injuries. UNCONSCIOUS WOMAN A woman was found unconscious in Rountree St, Upper Riccarton last Monday.

Labour responds to points raised in Gerry Brownlee’s column last week Megan Woods – MP for Wigram
The much awaited plan for transferring power back to the city has arrived in the form of Regenerate Christchurch. While we wait to see the details of this plan, it is good to see the transition to locallymade decisions take shape. It is our hope that this transition will provide the much needed clarity for investors looking at our city. To date, central Government’s anchor projects have not provided that confidence and have been the source of unexplained delays. What is also disappointing is the same transfer of power isn’t going to happen with our regional council. Nick Smith has said it is ‘too risky’ for Cantabrians to have the same democratic rights that all other New Zealanders enjoy. I’d like to see a proper return to locals making decisions as something to celebrate in our
regeneration. The big issues for the western part of the electorate continue to be about the rapid pace of development in our part of the city. New people and businesses moving into our neighbourhoods is fantastic, but we do have to make sure that our part of the world continues to be the wonderful place we all chose to make our homes. Residents have contacted me about the issues caused by increased traffic in the area. I have been working with the local police to find ways to limit heavy traffic on residential streets. All the development in the west, however, does mean that there is increased traffic and I remain convinced that getting better public transport, including a rail link, is the long-term solution. The increased activity in the area has also sparked concerns for some residents that there is increased pollution. I have asked ECan that we monitor the pollution levels locally. It’s looking likely that we will have this under way in

Last week we asked readers what they thought should replace the old Halswell Library. Readers respond: Kay Gains – It was interesting that a police station was suggested for the old library. Halswell had a community police office next to the community hall but it was closed down, I can’t remember why. As Halswell is still rapidly expanding I think a police station would be a great idea. Dave Chalk – I like the idea of a youth facility or drop-in centre, a police station but also perhaps a medical centre.

Stress on the rise Elderly with quake repair issues still vulnerable
LIBRARY NOW CLOSED The Western News reported last week that the Halswell Library is closing on October 28. This was incorrect. It closed on October 3. This is while preparations continue for the opening of the library at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre, 341 Halswell Rd, in late November 2015. Customers can still return items to the afterhours slot at the current Halswell Library until Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre opens in late November 2015. FUNDING APPROVED The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board have approved funding of $100 for Mike Mora to attend the Local Government New Zealand sponsored chairs workshop on November 20. It will be funded from the board’s training and conference budget.
ANDREW KING
Four years after the February 2011 earthquake, stress is still on the rise in the west of the city. The Christchurch Community Response team from St Christopher’s Anglican Church says insurance issues, repairs are causes of significant stress among residents, particularly the elderly. Earthquake Recovery coordinator Janette Sprott said the group visited about 2500 people in Riccarton between Deans Ave and Wharenui Rd and found “stress levels are through the roof.” “We are finding there are people that have had work done to a poor standard or are still waiting for the work to be done,” she said.

SUPPORT: (Left to right) – Janette Sprott, Janne Ross, Henry and Phyllis Paltridge, Bruce Coppard and Colin Garthwaite of the Christchurch Community Response team.
“Some have damage appearing after work has been done and this is causing them a lot of stress, they are not coping with it.” They referred 10 people to the Riccarton Community Church for on-going support. The group was disappointed with the lack of support from other churches and community groups in the area.

CCR works with a number of organisations including the St Christopher’s Community Trust, city council, the Ministry of Social Development and the New Zealand Red Cross.

James Addington
our PEOPLE
Coming up to speed with university’s James Addington will spend the next few months learning all he can about being president of the University of Canterbury Student Association because come January he will take the top job. Reporter Andrew King talks with him about what he wants to achieve in the position So you are the new University of Canterbury Students Association president, why did you get involved? This year I am on the general executive. Being president is a pretty big role so you need to know what you’re doing. It is a full-time job and since I am coming up to the end of my degree I jumped at the amazing opportunity. It is a role that I have dreamt of for a little while now because it is unique, a young 20-year-old in charge of a big organisation. Have you been involved with the UCSA in any other role? Only in the executive, and only this year. I was elected this year and take office in January, so I am shadowing the current president, Sarah Platt, at the moment. What do you want to bring to the job?
I will bring a different aspect to what we have had in the past. I am a very personal person, anyone with issues can come to me and I will work it through with them no matter what it is. We need strength in leadership as there have been a lot of changes over the last few years. I am not afraid to get in there and get my hands dirty. There will be decisions next year that will need some careful consideration. Are there any changes you want to make? Biggest issue at the moment is communication with students. There is so much going on and so much clutter that we have to be clear in what we are saying. We have to have a good platform to communicate. We will be getting stuck in with the website and apps to help students. They need improving, revamping, modernising.
What are the main goals for you in the next year? It will be interesting because we all campaigned together. Everyone has their own policies. So getting everyone together and working as a team will be crucial. The UCSA building is a big issue that I ran on.
We need to have student input with the project. We also want to develop the culture at UC, allowing the smaller clubs to get the right support. Do you think the student body fits in well with the community? I’d like to think so – there is a lot of work done around that. Sarah did a lot around talking with the community. It has definitely been improving. I will be continuing that on and making sure we have good representa-
tion in the community. How will you improve on that? I think it has been improving steadily. Our communities are stronger post-quake. I think we have become stronger and more integrated, going forward we just have to continue on the path we are on. What do you want the student body to get involved with? You are in an environment that is always changing, every year is different. What students are doing always changes. We need them to be engaged with us so we know what they want. We want the changes to be made according to what the students want. We [UCSA] are independent from the university, you can stand up when you don’t like what they are doing. There are always going to be things but UC respects the UCSA and respects what the students want and what we need. There will always be things that not everyone agrees with but that’s just the way things are. UP FOR THE CHALLENGE: James Addington said he will bring a personal touch to the position making himself available for all students. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

top student role Are you studying too, or have you finished? I am studying law and commerce and I am in my fifth year this year. I’m pretty much done, just a couple of papers which I will finish after this year as president. When did you decide you would run? It was definitely not when I first got here. It came on the radar at the start of this year once I got involved with the executive. Is it a hard task getting elected? Canterbury University is the most engaged student body in New Zealand and it is quite competitive. We had two intense weeks of campaigning with two teams running against each other. You run as a team because it is easier on the resources. It was pretty competitive because most of us were already on the executive. We launched a website as well as a Facebook page. It is a full-on two weeks of constantly trying to engage students. It was tense. What do you do outside of university, hobbies? I do quite a lot of skiing, due to the campaigning I haven’t done

The lease of the post shop, in Fendalton Mall on Memorial Ave, ends next month. But New Zealand Post said it has struggled since June last year to find another business in the area keen to take over the banking and postal services. The timing couldn’t be worse said to Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board chairwoman Val Cater. “Shutting this right before Christmas is crazy,” she said. Fendalton PostShop, which also operates Kiwibank, is the latest suburban bank and postal service to be closed in the city. Across town, Woolston Kiwibank and PostShop is closing and will move to Ferrymead. If NZ Post cannot find a local business to run the Fendalton services by October 30, it will look at relocating its post office boxes to a nearby location, said
a NZ Post spokeswoman. Hamilton Otara Residents Association chairman Doug Archbold said he was angry about the news. “I think it would be a tremendous loss for me and the community. I don’t think it is progress, it is a backwards step.” A spokeswoman for NZ Post said residents could use services in Riccarton and Merivale. But Mrs Carter said those branches were not accessible nor convenient for Fendalton residents. “The Riccarton one is not that accessible, Merivale is alright but out of the way for Fendalton residents,” she said. Mr Archbold said one of the biggest things he will miss is the staff. “The staff there were very long serving who made the people welcome,” he said. “For some people it was a point of social contact and the interaction with the staff they looked forward to that. It performed a social function.”

AWARD FINALISTS Two Canterbury University professors are among the finalists for the Women of Influence Awards. Professor of Linguistics Jennifer Hay and Professor of Clinical Psychology Julia Rucklidge are among eight finalists in the innovation category of the annual awards. Prof Hay, who specialises in the analysis of words and sounds and is the director of the New Zealand Institute of Language, Brain and Behaviour, was awarded the Canterbury University’s 2015 Research Medal, which she will receive in November. The Women of Influence award winners will be announced in Auckland on November 4. STUDENT OFF TO SEE OPRAH Villa Maria College student Martha Lolohea is off to Auckland in December after being recognised with a Christchurch Polytechnic award. Martha won the Pasifika award in the Excellence in Sporting Performance category and will have a chance to see American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey live at her show. Organiser Sela Faletolu, Te Kaiwhakauru Pasifika at CPIT’s Centre for Maori and Pasifika Achievement, said the aim of the awards is to recognise the incredible leaders within our schools and to celebrate their great achievements. “This is an opportunity to highlight our Maori and Pasifika students who are excelling in their fields, and demonstrating strong leadership within their communities. We hope that this will inspire our young people and our community to believe in their true potential.”

Two Canterbury University composers are among the winners of the inaugural NZTrio Composing Competition. Matthew Everingham’s piece, A Search for a Language and Alex van den Broek’s composition View from Mt Peel will be performed in two concerts by the NZTrio, along with eight other original works by New Zealand composers. Mr Everingham has always had a ‘lifelong passion for music’. “Being from Christchurch, I knew that studying at UC would mean I could be part of a vibrant and welcoming wider music community,” he said. Together with composer Kenneth Young, the leading New Zealand music ensemble, NZTrio, selected the winners based on the strength and originality of the scores, as well as considering how authentically and meaningful each composer responded to the brief to “write a new work for Piano Trio

to music, travelling, camping, reading books and watching movies Alex van den Broek, who has a First Class Honours Degree in Composition from UC School of Music, said it was an honour to have his work ‘View From Mt Peel’ selected . “I am proud to represent the School of Music, along with fellow student Matthew Everingham, as part of this exciting initiative”, he said. “Lilburn was a student at the University of Canterbury and had a huge role in the history of the School of Music. I am privileged to walk in his footsteps, not only here at UC, but in the wider Canterbury landscape. My work is inspired by a visit to Mt. Peel, as is Lilburn’s work ‘Forest’.” Douglas Lilburn, described as “the elder statesman of New Zealand music” and the “grandfather of New Zealand music,” studied at the University of Canterbury in the 1930s, then known as the Canterbury University College. NZTrio is performing these original works in the Winners’ Concerts on 9 Oct in Auckland and 10 Oct in Wellington. If you know of a local achiever, email andrew. king@starmedia.kiwi

He prevailed over teammate Hugo Jones in a four-man sprint finish. “It was a tough race but I worked with Hugo to get to the finish.

University cheerleaders lead the way
BY ANDREW KING
Canterbury University students have had success at a cheerleading competition in Auckland. University club UCheer won eight medals, including four golds, at the Cheer Factor at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau. UCheer coach Ellen Worthington said it was a fantastic result in their second year competing. “Considering it is just a bunch of students and adults we have done pretty well,” she said. It was not the first competi-
tion that the UCheer team had attended this year. “We competed earlier in Wellington at the Ministry of Cheer,” she said. “The results were not as good as the latest ones but similar, we had two firsts, three seconds and two thirds.” The club has been around for five years and attracts around 30-45 members each year including a mixture of boys and girls aged between 18-29. Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports according to Worthington with around 20 events on the calender for WINNING TEAM: Canterbury University’s UCheer has won the university the year in New Zealand alone. division and with it a gold medal in the Cheer Factor in Auckland.

Care of children disputes - first steps to resolution When a family (for example a separating couple) or other guardians cannot agree on the day-to-day care of their children, they can get help through the Family Justice process. There are several possible stages to this process: • Self-resolution – this is where families attempt to resolve matters themselves or by attending a Parenting Through Separation course. • Assisted resolution – this is a mediation process where families are supported to reach agreements out-of-court, by a Family Dispute Resolution provider. It is recommended that both parties have completed PTS before they progress to this step. • Going to court – where families go to court because for example: • They couldn’t reach an agreement through assisted resolution or • They have experienced domestic violence (for example) or • They have reached an agreement and want to make it legally enforceable. If you feel that you or your children are not safe, ask a family lawyer to help you make an urgent application to the Family Court for a protection order and a court order to settle your parenting arrangements. If you can’t afford a lawyer, you may be eligible for legal aid.
Can I get free legal advice to help me with our dispute over the care of the children? If you are eligible for funding you can get help from a Family Legal Advice Service lawyer. A FLAS lawyer is funded to provide you with up to four hours of advice (per dispute, per 12 month period) by: • Talking to you about your legal responsibilities and the options you have regarding the care of your children • Explaining to you the implications of any agreements you make • Tell you what is involved in going to court with parenting or guardianship matters • Helping you fill in court application forms, if you end up going to court If you aren’t eligible for funding, you will have to find legal advice elsewhere. To find out whether you are eligible for funding, phone the Family Justice line 0800 2 AGREE (0800 224 733) or contact a FLAS lawyer.
Knowing Your Rights
We can’t agree who our children should live with. Where do we start? Your first step would probably be to enrol in a PTS programme. This is a free programme to help parents and guardians focus on their children’s needs. If the issue is still unresolved after you’ve both completed PTS, you can then try mediation through FDR. During the FDR process, you’ll work with an independent mediator to discuss
the issues and try to come to an agreement about the day-to-day care of your children. If the FDR process doesn’t resolve the issue (or the FDR mediator has determined that the process is not appropriate in your situation), you can apply to the Family Court for a decision. In most cases, you won’t be able to apply to the Family Court unless you have already attempted resolution through PTS and FDR.
What happens in the PTS programme and do we have to do it? PTS is run by community providers and is free. It is recommended as a useful tool to help both parties agree on a solution which is best for their children. Anyone can attend who has a dispute about child arrangements.

We’re for every gardener
FlAnders PoPPy Its significant story
If you end up applying to the Family Court to resolve your dispute or to formalise your parenting agreement, in most cases you’ll need to show that you’ve completed the PTS course within the last two years (unless your case is exempt for example, the children are at risk of harm, or one of you isn’t able to participate effectively). The PTS course is four hours long and is usually presented as two two-hour sessions. Generally the parents will attend the programme separately, but you can normally bring a support person with you (it would be a good idea to run it by your PTS provider first). The PTS course will cover topics such as how separation affects children; the importance of both parents’ support of the children, how to reduce and manage conflict, and communication skills for people in a separated family. To enrol in a PTS course, simply contact a PTS provider near you (they are listed on the Family Justice website or phone the Family Justice line 0800 2 AGREE (0800 224 733). When you complete the PTS course you’ll receive a certificate of completion – if you end up going to court to resolve your dispute, you’ll need to present this certificate to show the Family Court that you’ve completed this step.

EQC UPDATE
KEEPING YOU INFORMED | OCTOBER 2015
Next steps for settling ILV land damage
Meet the Researchers – Dr John Townend
EQC expects to begin informing homeowners from the end of October whether their property has the type of land damage known as Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV). This is the first time in the world this type of land damage has been recognised as insured damage. The EQC Head of Canterbury Land, Keith Land, says there will be a two-stage approach to communicating what the EQC’s ILV settlement decision is for a customer’s property. This reflects feedback received from customers, who wanted to hear from EQC as soon as relevant information about their properties became available. “Customers will first find out whether their property qualifies for a settlement for ILV land damage as the qualification assessments for all potential properties are close to being finished. We expect this stage will be completed by early 2016. “When a settlement decision has been made for properties that qualify, customers will then receive a full settlement pack, with detailed information on the amount of payment and what it is based on,” Mr Land says. EQC expects to be distributing the full settlement packs for ILV land damage and for any other outstanding land damage throughout 2016. The most difficult group of settlements to work through for EQC will be the properties that have suffered both ILV and Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV). “We recognise that our customers have been waiting for a long time for ILV settlements to begin. Developing our settlement approach for ILV land damage is complex work and has taken time. We want to make sure we get it right and that homeowners have confidence
In this series, we talk to EQC-funded researchers about their important work. Ensuring that GeoNet data are used as much as possible for research into the physics of earthquakes is a central part of Associate Professor John Townend’s job. To many people, GeoNet is a webpage or an app on a phone – alerting the public to earthquake activity with near-real-time alerts about Dr John Townend earthquake locations, depths and magnitudes. Dr Townend’s research uses the data that underpin those alerts to better understand how earthquakes behave, looking at what occurs deep underground when a fault starts to slip. Dr Townend is an Associate Professor and EQC Fellow in Seismic Studies at Victoria University of Wellington, conducting research into earthquake seismology, tectonics, and other areas of geoscience. He and his students work in particular on earthquake mechanics and fault zone structure and hydrogeology. “GeoNet is a great component of New Zealand’s hazard analysis and preparation, but it only really contributes to improving our earthquake resilience if we do as much good science as possible with the data,” Dr Townend says. While Dr Townend is sceptical we will ever be able to predict reliably when or where an earthquake will strike, we can forecast what is likely to occur in general terms so that people can better prepare for the next event. “There’s a real opportunity to make important progress in earthquake physics by studying earthquake sequences, such as in Canterbury, and the individual earthquakes themselves,” Dr Townend says. Dr Townend said he believes cities can be better prepared from earthquakes, “The Christchurch earthquake was so devastating not because it was particularly big but because of its location close to the city and because it had several seismological characteristics and local geological factors that really exacerbated the effects of shaking.” Much of Dr Townend’s current work focuses on the central Alpine Fault, which runs down the spine of the South Island. He is co-leader of the Deep Fault Drilling Project, an ambitious international research project focussed on determining temperatures, pressures, and stresses in the heart of the Alpine Fault late in its typical cycle of strain accumulation before the next big earthquake. He is also working on projects in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, Iceland, and Canterbury. “GeoNet also enabled us to undertake the first New Zealand studies of slow slip and seismic tremor, newly recognised modes of earthquake-like behaviour that occur in subduction zones. Determining the conditions that exist inside large fault zones is very important in terms of thinking about short-term and long-term seismic hazard.” Dr Townend says the Alpine Fault project should not only give a better understanding of the biggest earthquake hazard in the South Island, but also help international scientists understand the mechanics of large faults generally. “The earthquakes we’re really interested in are the ones that don’t happen very often. That means that we need to balance a statistical approach to seismic hazard calculations with physics-based understanding of what processes control the timing, location, and size of an earthquake, and the interactions between one earthquake and another. “GeoNet has become a vital component of New Zealand’s scientific infrastructure. It enables the public to keep up to date with what’s happening but, from my perspective, what’s even more important is that the quality and quantity of data GeoNet collects from all over the country provide exceptional opportunities for scientists to learn about how the earth works. “EQC has a very broad-minded interpretation of how science can benefit society and that’s been fantastic for the New Zealand research community and for New Zealand society as a whole.” The Earthquake Commission supports research about natural disaster damage and ways to reduce its impact. As part of its research programme, EQC funds teaching positions at the universities of Canterbury (natural hazards and engineering), Victoria (seismic studies and economics of disasters), Massey (social science and planning) and Auckland (volcanic risk and engineering).
all properties have been assessed consistently and fairly,” says Mr Land. Critical to the timing of the first qualification packs being sent to customers is the finalisation of the ILV policy which will outline the way that EQC approaches the assessment of ILV land damage and how it settles claims. Mr Land says EQC is working hard to ensure homeowners get quality information to help them understand EQC’s qualification decision. This was a key learning from the settlements of IFV properties that EQC started early this year. EQC will be inviting affected homeowners
to a series of community meetings across the city towards the end of the year and early next year. Mr Land says the meetings will give homeowners the opportunity to hear directly from EQC and its engineering advisors Tonkin + Taylor. “We want to make sure people get a good understanding of what‘s been involved in making the qualification decision for their property and what to expect next”, says Mr Land. For more information on ILV land damage visit the EQC website at www.eqc.govt.nz/ILV.
SETTLEMENT OF ILV LAND DAMAGE EQC will not be repairing any ILV land damage but will settle the damage by cash payment. This is consistent with how EQC has settled claims for other types of land damage caused by the Canterbury earthquakes. EQC expects the cash settlement for ILV land damage to be based on repair cost and/or market reduction in the value of a property, known as Diminution of Value (DOV). Once the ILV policy is finalised more information will be available on how EQC will determine which settlement option will be used for what property.
Thinking about buying or selling a property? Before buying or selling a house, the people involved often want to see EQC documents related to the property in regards assessment for earthquake damage, and the status of repairs. To avoid the document request causing delays in the sale and purchase of a property, vendors are advised to obtain EQC documents before putting their homes on the market. The documents are easily requested by emailing EQC at info@eqc.govt.nz or
phoning us on 0800 326 243 between 7am to 9pm, Monday to Friday, or 8am to 6pm on Saturday. This makes it easier, because EQC is unable to discuss claim information with a potential purchaser without the claimant’s (usually the vendor) express consent. A purchaser wanting claim information, after they have bought a property, needs to have obtained a Deed of Assignment (or similar document).
ShakeOut On the 15th of October at 9:15am, New Zealand will participate in the international earthquake drill, ShakeOut. Over one million New Zealanders have already registered, and nearly 23 million people world-wide. In 2012, New Zealand had the largest participation rate per capita with 1.3 million registrations; but this year Civil Defence and its partners (EQC included) are aiming higher – with a target of over 1.5 million participants. ShakeOut is a timely opportunity for Kiwis from all walks of life to practice the correct action to take during an earthquake, which is ‘Drop, Cover and Hold’. It is also an opportunity to think about how prepared you, your workplace and household would be in the event of an earthquake and if emergency plans and supplies are up-to-date. ShakeOut registration is open to individuals, households, business and organisations – make sure you register today.

Outback capable in the rough SPECIFICATIONS
Even though it’s early spring some of the skifields are still in full swing and you can bet those car parks are well represented by Subaru, particularly Forester and Outback. A new generation Outback has just landed, and I’ve been fortunate enough to score a drive in each of the driveline variations. While I particularly like the smooth delivery of power in the six-cylinder model, my favourite is the 2-litre turbocharged diesel which this evaluation focuses on. Not only do you get a magnificent burst of power through the midrange, but its 6.3-litre per 100km (45mpg) combined cycle fuel usage rating is quite extraordinary for a full-size mainstream wagon. The new Outback doesn’t appear a lot different to its predecessor, it is chunkier and has further refinements in terms of engineering, but the concept hasn’t been lost, it is the quintessential SUV packaged in a body style that is traditional. Interestingly, Subaru has dropped production of its Legacy wagon in favour of the Outback, the Outback is a wagon only, the Legacy is a sedan only.
CONTROL: Subaru’s Outback is permanently engaged in four-wheeldrive Under the bonnet is an engine which is the result of a long-term development process by Subaru, the company has held on to its belief in horizontally-opposed (boxer) engines and the wait was worth it, the 2-litre unit is not only available in Outback, it has found its way across to Forester. Rated at 110kW and 350Nm, both outputs are realised amazingly low in the rev band at 3600rpm and 1800rpm; consequently, the quad-camshaft unit is a powerhouse low down. The Outback will reach 100km/h from a standstill in in 9.2sec and will haul in a highway overtake in 4.5sec (80km/h-120km/h). Even when working hard to initiate acceleration the engine is smooth and sophisticated, there is only a minor indication it is diesel-fed, such is its relatively quiet
operating manner. Drive is through a seven-step continuously variable transmission and it, too, stands out for its efficient operating manner. It works much like a traditional automatic which has noticeable ratio changes, but the gearing is still fluid and progressive. Even in base specification, the Outback gets steering wheelmounted paddles so that the driver can be involved in the gearshift process, if he or she desires. Sequential changes can also be made at the gearshift lever itself. Together, the engine and gearbox combine to provide complete driveline harmony along with the economy benefits diesel engines provide in the first instance. My test combined average listed around 7.6l/100km (37mpg), with 5.8l/100km (49mpg) available on a
steady highway cruise, the engine turning over at just 1800rpm at 100km/h in the tallest part of the gearing. These are good figures for a 1590kg vehicle, and even if you take into account road user charges, the Outback owner who travels long distances will appreciate the low fuel use. I took the test car westbound to the road which runs from the back of Sheffield through to Coalgate. It is unsealed for most of the distance and it is a good test of suspension control and grip which is promoted through Subaru’s symmetrical four-wheel-drive system. To top it off, the road was soaked through a southerly change, yet I was comfortable in the test car even when I was pushing into the corners, it has steering
Price: Subaru Outback, $47,990. Dimensions: Length,4815mm; width, 1840mm; height, 1675mm. Configuration: Four-cylinder longitudinal (boxer), four-wheeldrive, 1998cc, 110kW, 350Nm, continuously variable automatic. Performance: 0-100km/h, 9.2sec.
feel and control through the drive system which delivers confidence. And that is something Subaru promotes as a car maker, the Outback is balanced and offers dynamics which is by far a safety system within itself. In the loose, an X-Mode drive proportioning system is there so that each wheel has the best chance of grip. The Outback range starts here at $44,990 for the 2.5-litre, fourcylinder petrol, the big 3.8-litre six tops out at $59,990, while the diesel in base form sits mid-way at $47,990 or $54,990 for Premium specification. I’ve made no secret over the years of my appreciation of clever and alternative technology. Subaru are the master of both, most of what they do technically is just a little bit removed from the mainstream. That not only endears me to the brand, but to the many, especially South Island recreational enthusiasts, who also find that the engineering practices suit their lifestyle.

Science The New Zealand Certificate and diplomas in Applied Science reflect a growing demand for science-based skills in New Zealand. High-end manufacturing is an example of a growing industry in Canterbury where these skills are in demand. There are three new qualifications in animal management and veterinary nursing (Levels 4, 5 and 6), allowing students to fulfil a variety of roles in the industry. At Level 4, the programme targets people who want a career working with animals in the welfare, boarding and pet shop areas. Level 5 allows students to become a veterinary nurse assistant or pathway onto the New Zealand Diploma in Veterinary Nursing (Level 6). Languages Samoan is the third most commonly spoken language in New Zealand after English and Maori. The Certificate in Samoan Language recognises the increasing community need for advanced proficiency in the language. Business In response to industry demand, the Bachelor of Applied Management programme has three new majors and associated graduate diplomas, which are pending New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) approval. These include the specialities of Personal Financial Planning, Retail Management and Supply Chain and Logistics. Health Also pending NZQA approval, the Graduate

In 2016, CPIT will offer a range of new qualifications in areas including Animal Science.
Diploma in Nursing highlights a need for more nurses, due to the nation’s ageing population. It is suitable for overseas nurses who wish to become registered nurses in New Zealand. It will also give students the opportunity to develop expertise in a range of specialist areas. The proposed Graduate Diploma in Health presents an opportunity for people to add strength to a current qualification or to shift from another study area in the health sector into a care or support role. Creative Arts Degree-level study in the Bachelor of Design (with specialisations in Photography, Fashion Technology and Design) will give students greater opportunity for self-directed work. Pending NZQA approval, it also allows them to extend their practical skills while studying the academic aspect of creative practices. Students will also have the opportunity to crossover into other subjects in the design programme or other study areas. For more information regarding the new qualifications, check out www.cpit.ac.nz/new-qualifications.

s part of Risingholme’s 70th anniversary celebrations in 2014, the centre worked together with the Doris Lusk Estate and the Dunedin School of Art Polytechnic to provide a place for a ceramic practitioner to come and work with their students and tutors. The Doris Lusk Ceramics Residency has been created to encourage and sustain a vibrant ceramic community as well as provide an opportunity for ceramic artists to participate in art educational practices. Ceramic classes at Risingholme raised funds through very successful exhibitions of student work. Over the years, Risingholme has enjoyed a vast array of prominent community educators, including Doris Holland (nee Lusk). Ms Lusk tutored ceramics at Risingholme from the late 1940s up until the late ‘60s. She was a dominant figure in New Zealand Art and Arts Education during her lifetime and contributed to a vibrant New Zealand Arts dialogue. Her attributes include her appointment as the head of Ilam School of Fine Arts at Canterbury University, president of the Canterbury Potters Association, president of The CSA Gallery (CoCa) and she received the Governor-General Art Award posthumously. Zehavit Darlington is the inaugural recipient of the Doris Lusk Ceramics Residency in 2015 and will take up her residency in November this year. Zehavit
has a very diverse ceramic practice and currently is a ceramic teacher in primary schools in the Otago Region, the Potter’s Cottage, Otago Peninsula and to people with intellectual disabilities at the Mosgiel Ability Resource Centre. She is also a practicing studio artist, supplying design shops with functional vessels. She also exhibits on a regular basis. Risingholme celebrated Adult Learners’ Week in September by hosting a function in which outstanding adult learners were celebrated. The event was sponsored by Ako Aotearoa and ACE Aotearoa. At the event, Maryke Fordyce, director of Risingholme Community Centre, was presented a special award in recognition of her contribution to adult and community education. Risingholme is looking to extend its tutor pool for 2016. If you are interested, please visit the tutor page on the Risingholme website and contact us.

blood pressure
lood pressure is an indicator of cardiovascular as well as overall health. Healthy blood flow is vital for a healthy body as the blood plasma transports nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste, oxygen and CO2 throughout the body. 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. Over a period of time, the blood pressure may keep increasing due to the deterioration of blood flow. A higher blood pressure is not ideal and it is considered a major risk factor for stroke, aneurysm, organ failure and heart failure. Even moderate elevation of blood pressure is considered a major reason for shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain our blood pressure in the normal range, our overall health will be improved. Systolic blood pressure, the upper figure, is when the heart contracts and pushes blood around the body. Ideally at rest, this should be between 100 to 120. The diastolic blood pressure, the lower figure, is the pressure in the arteries between beats and ideally at rest this should be between 60 to 70. It has been found 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 blood pressure readings. Blood pressure monitors and further information on how to improve your overall health and blood pressure naturally is available from the natural health advisers at Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton.

illa construction at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in Geraldine is now centred on stage 5 with our first residents in this stage moving in late November. Concurrently with this is the construction of our new McKenzie Leisure Centre which will cater for many lifestyle activities such as an indoor heated swimming pool and spa pool, gymnasium, art and craft area, library, lounge (with pool table, etc.), hairdressing room and other key amenities. Out on the north side, the bowling green (plus croquet) is being formed to be followed by Petanque, Mini-Golf and a children’s playground. The official opening of the Village and Leisure Centre is scheduled for Saturday 28 November with the next day being a Public Open Day between 1.00 and 4.00 pm. Visitors are most welcome to come and inspect the Village and Leisure Centre on the Sunday. There will be light refreshments and music in the Lounge and some villas will
be open for inspection. There are now 32 occupied villas with 49 residents. As the number of residents has increased, so has the social aspect of village living. The spacious and well-insulated villas are a mixture of stand-alone and duplex styles with four basic plans to choose from. They all have at least two bedrooms and internal access garaging. There is a village bus, men's workshop, allotments, and parking for caravans, boats and campervans on site. We will eventually build up to 120 villas, 10 apartments and 12 assisted-care apartments, the latter being attached to McKenzie HealthCare next door. McKenzie HealthCare is an aged care facility with rest home, hospital, palliative care and dementia services.

Improve prostate health

Duchenne Dental
The prostate is a small walnut-shaped male organ located beneath the urinary bladder and wrapped around the urethra or urinary tube.
I
t is of little significance for most men until the their late 40s, when for a large percentage of men it tends to enlarge and affect normal urination by restricting flow through the urethra. This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. BPH reduces the ability of the bladder to evacuate completely, causing common symptoms like wanting to urinate more frequently (especially annoying at night as it affects sleep quality), difficulty starting urination, dribbling after urination and pain with urination. The word benign in BPH is very significant as it means an enlargement of the prostate that isn’t cancer. However, BPH should always be diagnosed by a MD as there is always the chance of prostate cancer. Once diagnosed as BPH, it can often be managed quite well with herbal and nutritional remedies and without the side effects of prescription drugs used for this condition. Saw palmetto is a herb that has been used for centuries for BPH of the prostate. A review of 18 double-blinded studies found an average improvement of 72 per cent of BPH symptoms in saw palmetto users. Researchers have found saw palmetto to inhibit the formation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and DHT is the main reason for the prostate to enlarge and to
be a risk factor for prostate cancer and hair loss. Phellodendron amurense inner bark is another herb that has been found to protect against BPH and recent research has shown it to be protective against prostate tumor development in laboratory studies. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant with numerous health benefits, including cancer and BPH protective benefits. Fatty acids from the seeds of pumpkin, evening primrose and flax have been shown to be supportive of prostate and general good health. Further information is available from our natural health advisers and naturopath at Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton. Phone 388 5757. We Are Always Happy to Help!

Mackenzies Bar, Hotel & Backpackers is pleased to announce the BISTRO is open! "We're really happy to welcome Chef Kim Williams to our team and looking forward to some great food coming from our kitchen," said Ajay Rathod, bar manager. Hailing from Mosgiel, Kim has been involved in the hospitality industry all her life. "I like food and I like people, so it was inevitable that I would become a chef," said Kim. Her food career to date includes the Dunedin Casino, Mt Cook Hermitage, Scenic Circle hotels, and most recently the Historic Hurunui Hotel where regulars came as far as Christchurch to sample her gourmet pizzas and special desserts. "I'm very excited to be running the Mackenzies Bistro. I want to offer customers something they wouldn't usually make for themselves at home. I love the challenge involved in planning menus and want to try to please everyone. As well as the Bistro, I will be available to cater functions and events at the hotel and come up with menu options to suit the occasion and budget." Mackenzies Bistro is currently open Thursday to Sunday from 4pm. The mains menu offers excellent value, Steak Ribeye $19.50; Fish of the Day $18.50; Chicken & Bacon Stack $19.50; Warm Chicken Salad $13.50;
