SKATEPARK LOCATIONS REVEALED Plan could spark backlash from neighbouring residents
GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING
Four locations are being considered for a skatepark in Halswell – but the plan could come under fire from residents. Western News has learned Halswell Domain, Longhurst Park, an area in Westlake and Scott Park (above right) are sites earmarked for the project estimated to cost $379,000. Halswell Residents’ Association secretary David Hawke (right) said the Westlake and Scott Park
INSIDE:
sites were most likely to cause issues with nearby residents. He was aware of the area in Westlake, but declined to reveal it. However, he believed Westlake and Scott Park were the least likely sites of the four mooted. “The location is absolutely critical because you have got two conflicting requirementsone that the it is not out of the way and that its got to be it doesn’t get in the way of the neighbour’s peace and quiet,� he said. The skatepark needs to be in an area where young people
would use it. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora said the community has been asking for a skatepark for several years. Money had now been set aside in the city council budget for it. Mr Mora wouldn’t comment on the planned sites. He did not want to cause people “anxiety� before the pros and cons of the sites had been discussed. Mr Mora said the community board is hoping to hold a similar public consultation to when they built the small skatepark at the Templeton Bowl. He said they had a sausage
sizzle and skateboard designers met with the public including children at the location. The skatepark in Halswell most likely will not be a “Washington style skatepark’’ with plans for it to be more modest. “We are constrained by our budget but that doesn’t mean it won’t be expanded in the future.� Halswell Community Project chairwoman Chrys Horn said a skatepark was a “great idea�. “We really need some places for our young people in Halswell and we don’t really have great hang-out spaces for them
at the moment.’’ She said if there isn’t a place for young people there will be a crime problem in Halswell because there is nothing for them. Middleton Grange School youth worker and Halswell youth group volunteer Alex McClelland said it met another need for young people and should be a positive place for youth to hang out.

Groups which use Riccarton Community Centre are worried about plans to exclude a service centre and the volunteer library when it is rebuilt. Western News understands the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board met behind closed doors last month to discuss options for rebuilding the facility. Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck said the volunteer library will be closed down but said some sort of service centre will be kept in the Riccarton area. She said no decisions had yet been made by the city council. The city council is consulting with residents on the partial sale of the site at 199 Clarence St, to help fund the building of a new centre on the remainder of the land. But residents associations are alarmed that the community board discussed removing the

Buskers help with Ethical clothing business comedy workshop lands first big contract A comedy workshop for young people ran last week at the Court Theatre in conjuction to the World Buskers Festival. World Buskers Festival performers Anya Tate-Manning and James Nokise of the cult hit show Puppet Fiction ran the workshop. The comedy workshop focused on a balance of theatre traditions and stand up, exposing the students to a wide range of performance styles, using a mixture of writing exercises, improvisation, clown training and a strand of comedy. The week-long workshop finished off with a performance last Friday in the Little Big Top at North Hagley Park. “Our students are benefiting from our collaboration with the World Buskers Festival, which means they get the opportunity to work with these professional comedians in town at the moment,” said Court Theatre education manager Rachel Sears.

Young entrepreneurs are having a “woohoo” moment after their Riccarton-based ethical clothing business secured its first large commercial contract. It’s been a rapid success story for the owners of Little Yellow Bird, a company which makes ethical, organic business shirts, supporting trade and education for women in less fortunate countries. After launching under a year ago the company has already won a Canterbury University entrepreneurship award, started online sales and set up a partnership with women in India, founder Samantha Jones said: “Now we’re so excited we’ve secured our first big contract, with Woohoo NZ tax refunds. We’re doing a trial with them, seeing how that goes and we could soon be supplying all of their business shirts.” It’s a huge step for the business said Hannah Duder – a social entrepreneur who has come on board with LYB recently to look after sales. “It’s given us the confidence

to go out and tap more shoulders, ask more businesses if they’d like their shirts to be more ethical.” Profits from the partnership will likely see a 26-year-old woman in India complete her education – which is what the business is all about, Miss Duder said. “We’re hoping to help 100 women this year to go to school. It’s a big issue overseas

and every time we sell our shirts we’re helping more of them.” The two are hoping to take their business global: “Both Sam and I see this could be a huge thing worldwide,” Miss Duder said. And they’re also applying to go through an accelerator programme with Lightning Labs – which could see them given a $20,000 capital boost as well as mentoring to take it to the next level.

Taking quake research abroad Student to use own coding scheme in US for further examinations A former Christchurch Girls’ High School student is taking her earthquake findings to the United States. Canterbury University master’s graduate Emily Lambie has analysed hours of CCTV footage from the Canterbury earthquakes using her innovative research system, to see how people react when the ground starts moving. She developed a unique coding scheme that examines what people really do in an earthquake. She will be conducting further research for the next 10 months at California State University in Long Beach, which she leaves for next week after winning a Fulbright scholarship. It does not rely on post-disaster interviews, but on observation of reactions. Miss Lambie developed the coding scheme for her master’s degree in hazard and disaster management. “The next step is to go beyond a New Zealand context and use

Ultimately, I want to return to New Zealand with a refined process that has been validated by its application outside of a New Zealand setting.” She credits the “constant mentorship and support”

Passionate about animal SPCA chief executive Barry Helem has led the Hornby-based animal welfare agency since the earthquakes. Georgia O’Connor-Harding speaks to him about the worst case of animal neglect he has seen, compassion fatigue and 32,000km on his Harley Davidson What ignited your passion for the welfare of animals? Most of my career has been in the banking industry. I spent 34 years there and ended up in a senior management role with the ANZ bank. I got to that stage where I wanted a break from the corporate world and I felt like I wanted to give back to the community in the non-profit sector. I have always had pets and we are a nation of animal lovers – we have the highest rate of pet ownership in the Western world I think. During my childhood I grew up in Greymouth and my grandad had a stud for racehorses so I spent a good part of my holidays dunging out paddocks. It sounds like a rewarding job. I find it is an absolute highlight working here. Not saying corporate life is not rewarding
but it is different. It has been satisfying getting us to do more for animals in the community such as improving our rehoming rates, doing more proactive initiatives like having community clinics. What is one of the most shocking treatment of animals you have ever seen that has stuck in your mind? Our inspectors are in the field. They see the worst of it and I see the photos. What they see is pretty horrendous. There was one last year that involved three dogs that were kept on a property that had obviously been starved. One dog had died and the remaining two had started eating the remains of the deceased dog. At the time they were discovered all the dogs had to be euthanised because they were just so far gone. While you said you are not directly involved, have you got attached to an animal that has
had to be euthanised? I get to see the impact on the staff because most of them are animal lovers. Predominantly our workforce is young females. It is hard for them to detach. In our industry they talk about compassion fatigue and it is quite real. So we always make sure our people are getting supported and holidays. Does the SPCA get free vet medical care? There are some SPCAs in New Zealand that have their own vet clinics but we contract ours out. It is our second highest cost after staff wages so we probably spend around $250,000 each year on veterinary cost. We need about $2.7 million to run the operation in Canterbury and only a fraction of that gets covered. Do you have good donators? Yes we do. The Canterbury community is very supportive. Half our income probably comes from legacies and wills left to us. It is really generous and we would not be able to survive without that. We get very little Government funding. People who give us money are paying for our prosecution fees.

welfare and motor-cycles Not many people realise that. That is not right. Is that your thoughts? I think it is interesting that as an agency enforces legislation we don’t get funding. We get a small amount at a national level. Our inspectors dealt with nearly 1200 complaints last year. We have had to increase our inspectors to keep up with demand post earthquake. What has been the biggest fine or prosecution you have been successful with so far? We had our first jail sentence in 2014 with a man who beat a cat to death with a stick. That was the first one we have had and that is really pleasing for us because it sets a real stake in the ground that the courts have a tougher line on animal cruelty. It is good the courts are starting to crack down on animal cruelty. You have only been at the SPCA for four years but what were your experiences like with animals post earthquake? It was only when I joined the SPCA I found out the great work the team did. There are about 800 animals that passed through the centre between February and

June after the earthquakes. A phenomenal workload and they did an amazing job. Do you think the rate of animal neglect is getting better now? Yes. I do think that is settling
down. In the last couple of years we have had an increase in dog complaints. We suspect that could have been the challenge of getting pet-friendly accommodation for people in rental properties. But even that is improving.
Do you get any interesting animals coming through? We have a miniature horse, a kunekune pig. We have had a wallaby before. The perception in the community is we are all about cats and dogs but increasingly we are dealing with more livestock from properties. Do you have a favourite animal? We have got a geriatric boxer called Flynn who is 12 and he is really part of the family. Does your family share the same love for animals as you? My wife certainly does. We have three grown-up children and they certainly adore our dog Flynn. It is possible they may volunteer down the track although they have their own lives and interests at the moment. Have you travelled a lot? Yes. I am a motor-cycle enthusiast. I have done tours of the United States in my Harley-Davidson. I did nine weeks in 2010 and 2013. We did 32,000km touring North America. We shipped the motor-cycle over and uncrated on Long Beach and went coast to coast. It is quite a passion of mine.
relationship property, employment law and resolving contractual and estate disputes.
Difficult question but where do you think Christchurch sits on the scale of welfare when it comes to animals? I think the major centres – Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch have the same sort of percentage. I think we were dealing with the least complaints prior to the earthquakes but since then there has been a steady increase. I have talked to a lot of social agencies and they notice a lot of increase in mental issues and domestic violence. We think it may be linked to the tougher times in the community. While that is no excuse it is a factor. What has been the most important lesson you have learnt working with animals? There is a clear link between how we treat animals and how we treat people. There is a lot of research that shows people that are cruel to animals generally escalates into violence with other people. I think Mahatma Gandhi said the greatness of a nation can be judged by how its animals are treated. It is the next generation we now need to educate about empathy for animals.

Looking forward to city plan Ilam and Upper Riccarton Residents’ Association Chairman Peter Harding This year should mark the end of the hearings related to the Proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan. While this has gone under the radar for many in Christchurch, it has been a long and complicated process demanding a huge amount of time and energy not only from those on the hearing panel, led by Sir John Hansen, but also from council staff and many interested parties and community groups. I hope that the final outcome will be a streamlined district plan that balances not only the desire to tidy up inconsistencies in order to accelerate the cities’ development but also safeguards the needs of the community at large. From my perspective I have watched a council struggling to meet huge commitments on a constrained level of income but which is desirous of doing the right thing by a shrinking num-

ber of ratepayers. The financial challenges come at a time when money is tight and the Government has the expectation that commercial enterprise and market forces will lead the way. Canterbury University has had more than its share of adversity. An enormous repair programme and the logistical problems that go with running a competitive tertiary institution are challenging when combined with low student growth numbers. However, it is pleasing to see with the farewell of the badly damaged student union building, that a new purpose-built facility will be built on this same, attractive spot, in the heart of the campus. We look forward to this new building becoming the vocal point for Canterbury students again. The Ilam Upper Riccarton
area has a wide-ranging and culturally diverse demographic. This gives the community a very positive energy. As a residents’ association we see our role as helping facilitate a pleasant living environment and harmonious community relationships wherever possible. We are blessed with leafy streets, a large number of reserves, good shopping and a wide range of excellent educational facilities. With this in mind we have done our best to raise community issues at the PCRDC hearings. This has included the sale and availability of alcohol, parking and street congestion and the transformation of residential property into low end boarding facilities with up to 20 people living in a fourbedroom house. We await the new city plan with interest.

Readers respond to Hornby Cricket Club’s concern over the possibility of Hornby Library, Service Centre and South West Pool going into its homeground at Denton Park. The club says it will “end” Hornby cricket. Alastair McLaughlin – What happens to the cricket club? Where is the parking to be situated and the number of car parks to be provided? What security will be provided? I hope roading will be addressed as part of the plan as the mall area is difficult to navigate now, let alone with additional major additional facilities.

patrons who wish to use this facility. As for the library/service centre it could go to the old Branston Intermediate School. This is on a bus route, ample parking, infrastructure already there, will not add to the congestion already on Main South Rd. If the powers that be had even half a brain between them, the old Sockburn pool site would never have been closed down. It would have been upgraded on a regular basis. It was widely used by locals and non-locals for years. It was a perfect complex and site.
Kelly Casey – Denton Park should be left alone to the cricket club. A long history and beautiful park need not be touched by commercial vultures in the name of community services. The pool could easily go to Hornby High School where it will be fully utilised by all

your local Views Gary Knight – In spite of sentiments by Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck in 2015, stating Hornby High as a positive venue for the $20 million south-west pool complex, other factors are imminent for an alternative venue. The placing of this complex within Hornby High premises would be a retrograde step in consideration of many reluctant to encroach on these grounds to use the complex. This scenario is also impounded by future implications concerning lease of Ministry of Education land (becoming a ministry asset on expiry of lease) thereby not viable from a financial perspective for Riccarton-Wigram community board. As the official playing ground of Hornby RFC also Hornby Cricket Club, featuring two playing fields also the velodrome oval synonymous with the 1974 Commonwealth Games cycling events and close proximity to five schools bears testimony to the ideal siting and much utilised characteristics of Denton Park. Within this context therefore the siting of the south-west pool complex would complement this sporting-focused venue. However, in sheer contrast, the siting of the Hornby Library and Service Centre lacks integrity and would be totally demeaning to the nature of Denton Park.

Both the service centre and library, attracting large attendance would be better suited and ideally situated either within or in conjunction to The Hornby Hub, thus attracting a myriad of local, national and international visitors utilising a purpose-built or leased venue within the business precinct. Mary Williams – I am absolutely against this project being built at Denton Park. Cricket was there as it says for about 50 years – my son learnt to play and practice there under the late Ishwar Gandar in the 80s and 90s. It seems to be the same as it is with Templeton Speedway. It has been there for I don’t know how long and new people shift in and complain about the noise level. It is just not fair on both counts. Now wouldn’t Kyle Park be better? I can think of four schools in the vicinity that would benefit. We know a lot of pools that have disappeared from schools – one in particular was St Bernadette’s. My children went there and I was on the PTA in the 80s and fundraised for that pool. It was hard going but somehow we accomplished it and now it’s gone. I have four grandchildren there at the moment. Three of them are going to Kings Swim
The siting of the Riccarton Rd bus interchange has drawn criticism.
School (and that’s pretty pricey) as my daughter knows the benefit. She herself learnt to swim and I am nearly 70 and still can’t swim so she knows how very important it is for her children to learn. Readers respond to the Western News article on ratepayers money being spent on catering meetings for the Riccarton-Wigram Community board. Alastair McLaughlin – I don’t mind tea and coffee being provided for short meetings (say less than three hours) and maybe food for long meetings five-plus hours. If meetings went on for the latter period I’d also be questioning the agenda. It’s difficult to comment in detail without knowing the length of meetings and the number of meetings held per community board. Assuming 24 meetings are held and all members attend

every one (unlikely) and no additional persons then cost varies from a low of approximately $7 to a high of $22 per community board member, a very wide variance (low – Fendalton/Waimari to high – Burwood-Pegasus). The community board costs in your article only add up to $18,570 versus quoted $19,169. What’s missing? The other question is whether there are tea and coffee facilities on site or whether catering is purchased via the sites in house cafeteria? Also look at the city council meeting costs – if tea/coffee are provided then there is a cost to the ratepayers – what’s this cost on a per councillor level per meeting? In the end the cost is a drop in the ocean compared to some of the decisions made by the council. I don’t agree with storey-high street signage in the central city, siting of bus interchange on Riccarton Rd, restoration of the town hall for apparently the same cost
to build a brand new one. How much does the council waste on printed matter rather than electronic versions – email me the stuff rather than printed versions. The quarrying deadline ended last Friday for submissions which opened in November. Plans were made for quarries to be dug up to four metres below the groundwater line. Last week Selwyn Times asked readers should the quarry operators be allowed to dig up to 4m below ground level. Lynne and Keith Barclay, Hei Hei : We can’t believe anyone would think it is okay to dig another 4m below the groundwater line and worse, that the decision may be based on how many submissions against the idea. Having been involved in making submissions on another issue – the process was not a simple one and we believe most people would find it quite a difficult thing to do. The arguments put forward for going ahead are always based on a ‘need’ rather than how our water supply may be affected in the future. We are totally against the idea and would hope the city council will not be swayed by the Aggregate Producers Group on any grounds. It is good to be able to be heard through your column, thank you.

A high-achieving Villa Maria College student was lucky enough to attend the inspiring show with one of the most influential women in the world last year. Martha Lolohea (left) along with nine other high-achieving Maori and Pacific Island high school students were selected to attend Oprah: An Evening with Oprah as well as a leadership lunch up in Auckland. “At first it was unbelievable, to be going and seeing one of the world’s most famous women.’’ She said Oprah discussed some
of the difficulties she has faced in her life such as becoming pregnant at age 16 and her miscarriage and getting fired from her job as a TV anchor. “She talked about threads and how they come together to make a rope – how the small things add together to make up your life.” The trip was supported by the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology Foundation after the 10 students were recognised for their achievements at the Rakatahi Awards held at CPIT last year.

The 16-year-old was recognised for her sporting excellence and was nominated for the Rakatahi Awards by her teacher. Martha has a passion for netball, athletics, touch, the rugby sevens and netball umpiring. The trip from December 16-17 included a lunch with well-established Maori and Pacific role models. The respected leaders included Massey University school of nursing lecturer Sione Vaka, actor and journalist Victor Rodger, learning support director Huhana Lyndon and Dr Mataroria Lyndon at Counties Manuaka Health. Martha said when she leaves school she hopes to study sport and help people in the community to get involved. “Life would be pretty boring without it. It takes up most of my time,” she said.

Young athlete wins medals, scholarship
money
Phoenix’s Gloria Agnew, 14, picked up five medals and was one of four athletes awarded a prestigious Nick Willis scholarship at the South Island Colgate Games, held recently in Nelson. Gloria won gold in the 100m sprint and 4x100m relay as well as silver in the 200m sprint, long jump and the mixed distance medley. Her 100m sprint time of 12.61sec was the fastest in the 14-year-old girls’ class. Attending her third Colgate Games, she said winning the scholarship was a great boost and she would put it towards travelling to more competitions. More than 300 athletes from the Canterbury competed at games. The other three Nick Willis scholarship winners were also from Christchurch-based clubs. They were Olivia Burnham, 14, from Christchurch Avon AC, Cody House, 14, from Papanui TOC and Ryan Sutherland, 14, from Christchurch Avon AC. Christchurch clubs also topped the medal table with Christchurch Avon AC athletes picking up 40 medals, Port Hills Athletic Club 30 medals and

Detox your finances in five easy steps The benefits of cleansing your body by flushing out toxins are well known. The same principles can apply to your finances. It’s about getting rid of everything that weakens your financial position and hampers your ability to enjoy life to the full. Here’s how to detox in five easy steps: • Face the reality of your position. Make a list of all your assets (house, car, KiwiSaver and other investments) and all your debts. The difference between your total assets and your total debts is your current net worth. If you are managing your money well, this figure should be higher than it is was at this time last year. • Find out where your money goes. Go through the last three months of bank and credit card statements. Put the transactions into three categories: financial commitments (such as rent, mortgage, insurance), discretionary spending (eating out, entertainment, gifts and other non-essential items) and essential spending (food, transport, etc). Look in particu-
lar at how much you are spending on nonessential items. • Start saving. Decide how much you want to save each payday and set up an automatic transfer into a savings account for this amount on the day you get paid. Allocate your remaining income into each of the three categories above and set up a bank account for each one. • Good choices with savings. Use your savings to progressively do the following: • Pay off high interest shortterm debt • set up an emergency fund • save for short-term goals such as holidays and renovations. • Get your affairs in order. Make sure you are in the right KiwiSaver fund, that you have adequate life and income protection insurance, your will is up to date and all your important documents are stored tidily in a safe place. • Liz Koh is an authorised financial adviser.

I really, really like this wine. It’s not just its elegant aromas of peppercorn, plum, violet and red fruit freshly dusted with cocoa powder, or its buoyant acidity and ethereal texture or even its sandy, emerylike tannins with just the right amount of ‘chew’. It’s mainly that all that good stuff can be had for just $20. From supermarkets.

health Six simple ideas for happier living

> Take baby steps to yoga bliss, p22
S
AVING MONEY and staying fit are traditional New Year’s resolutions, but overly packed schedules and the materialistic focus of modern day life are inspiring a new goal for many people: to live happier in 2016 and beyond. Health and performance expert and On Target Living president Matt Johnson offers six surprisingly simple yet profoundly effective ways to boost overall happiness.
■ Go on a date night or family night ■ Exercise at a time that fits your schedule ■ Walk during lunch ■ Have a monthly massage
5
Fuel happiness from within: “I believe we have more behavioural and mental health issues than we should, and a big part of this is the lack of proper nutrients,” says Johnson, adding an estimated 91 per cent of people do not get enough omega 3s.
1
Make sleep a priority: Getting seven to eight hours of sleep each night is critical for the body to produce hormones that trigger happiness, explains Johnson. “I am a big fan of always going to bed with a positive attitude,” Johnson says. “If you go to bed angry, worried or stressed, that tends to come back the next day. Do what you can before bed to reset your mood. Read, take a bath, exercise or talk face-to-face. Try to avoid screen time.”
2
Make more time for family: “Over the last 20 years, family time has vanished. Sporting events, projects, work and technology have swallowed this time,” says Johnson. “Family faceto-face time is the most important part of a healthy family relationship and
6 Six simple ideas for happier living happiness.” Johnson suggests planning family dinner two to three times a week. “When we start to eat dinner as a family in the home, our health and happiness will follow,” he notes.
3
Carve out whitespace: This is time you dedicate to yourself to refresh, unplug and rejuvenate. This could be making time to do yoga, enjoy a hobby, read, meditate or take a bath.
“People who have hobbies and activities that give them balance tend to be happier. If your hobby is texting, checking social media or watching TV, this will set you up for a feeling of emptiness. These things are fine in short periods, but too much will take away what life is giving us.”
4
Achieve work/life balance: With the expanse of the internet and mobile commuting,
workers are now connected more than ever before. But this can get out of control when answering emails 24/7. “We all want to be successful, but with anything you need proper balance. If you look at professional athletes, the best ones try to find activities outside of their sport that help them stay hungry, engaged and excited.” Johnson has these work/life balance suggestions: ■ Don’t check email after 8pm
QUALITY SLEEP: The importance of sleep can not be overemphasised.
Embrace gratitude: Thinking of the things you are grateful for can have a dramatic effect on your satisfaction and overall happiness. Do this daily as you wake up or make it a conversation you have with your children right before bed. “Telling yourself you are grateful for your health, family, friends, job and life gives you that pat on the back we all need,” he says. “I also think we don’t tell people how much we appreciate them until they are gone. I encourage everyone to write a handwritten letter to one person each year who made a huge impact in their life. They may not know or maybe you don’t tell them often enough. My last letter was to my Mum. She is the — BPT glue in our family.”
Take baby steps to yoga bliss By Rachel Grunwell
STRETCH OUT: I use yoga to help prepare for marathons PHOTO/REBECCA GRUNWELL but I can also tap my inner zen.
“I can’t do yoga”. This is what lots of people tell me. “But anyone can do yoga,” I reply. Many people reckon they need to be “flexible” or a circus star to stretch. But that’s not what yoga is about. It’s about just feeling a stretch where it benefits you. And if you are in a class with an experienced yoga teacher, then they will give different options with each yoga move. This is so you can tap into the level that best benefits your body. I work with lots of runners (I take ‘yoga for runners’ classes in
Auckland) and so I tell my yogi students that they would never expect to run a marathon overnight; so why expect to nail the first yoga class you try? We’re so hard on ourselves! Like all things, it takes time to improve. No matter what age or ability, anyone can tap into the benefits of this ancient practice. It’s especially useful for runners and athletes to help re-balance the body, but the mind benefits are as big as the body benefits too. I use yoga to strengthen, stretch and tone my body for marathon running, but I also use it to calm my
mind, de-stress, detox and to reach my “bliss place”. But it wasn’t always like that. I used to wobble on every balance pose and strength work would frustrate me, while inversions would infuriate me. But now I love it and it helps to keep my life a bit more balanced and fuels my happiness. So stop, drop and yoga sometime. Give it a go. ■ Rachel Grunwell is our weekly wellbeing columnist.

T
his is a good indicator from our bodies, that the holiday routine was somewhat different. Perhaps you sit a lot for work and you were on the go or, you are normally more active and the holiday break was more sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay attention to these signals the easier it will be to deal with it. So what can you do to ward off pain and stiffness and boost your energy and alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises at your desk that will release tension from head to toe. They take only a few minutes. Set the alarm on your cell phone or computer to go off every hour to remind you it’s time to get up and stretch. Just stand up and sit down - no hands If you stand up and sit down (over and over) without using your hands it can be a challenge, do it while you’re on the phone; no one will know.

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
T
he team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and senior clients visit complaining of pain in one or both hips. Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests that a major part of the pain could be due to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. “Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason for the pain may be the muscles around the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back muscle could also be the cause, as shown in the image. Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old client with severe arthritis who walked with a stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight through my right leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she was walking with her stick but without the severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors that made her muscles spasm but the other was that older people move less and the flexed position the hip is in when we sit is particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that although the client was 89 and could have been “given up on” or told to live with the pain, she made a difference to her health and wellbeing. At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques (massage and triggerpoint deactivation techniques) are used to release the muscles. The client also gets a home exercise program

Drama Classes for Children Helping children develop social skills for a competitive world.
D
o your children lack selfconfidence, or perhaps have so much energy that they need an outlet for it? Development through drama is the ideal approach to teach confidence and channel youthful energy while building self-esteem. The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has been in New Zealand for 32 years. This highly regarded worldwide programme helps students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their potential by acting confidently and speaking clearly. This unique self-development programme helps achieve invaluable life skills. The confident, articulate child makes friends easily, accepts challenges and new directions. Confident children become well-rounded adults. Our fully qualified teachers are trained in the Helen O’Grady Drama system. They ensure each child is encouraged
and valued in a warm, positive learning environment. Lessons stimulate and motivate students without the exam or peer group pressure. Weekly class activities include speech training, creative movement and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre programme encourages the development of leadership and organisational skills. Three terms of the year cover the selfdevelopment programme and in the fourth term, all students prepare a performance for parents and friends. We also offer Trinity College London examinations as an option for those who wish to pursue an international qualification. Our safe, structured learning environment values student individuality and encourages team building. Most importantly, it’s great fun, too!

Pasifika students demonstrate new skills Building up skills while breaking down cultural barriers; that’s what Pasifika students working on improvements to a Pacific Trust Canterbury facility are doing, the trust’s community development advisor Noa Ellwood says. CPIT Pasifika Trades Training students are working on the trust’s Pasifika Supported Playgroup facility in Aranui. “For our community, the Pasifika Supported Playgroup creates a familiar environment with similar practices to kindergartens and pre-schools, to help prepare our children and educate our parents on the importance of early childhood learning. It helps break down those cultural barriers so that children and parents know what to expect outside their environment,” Ellwood said. He was impressed with the level of competence and professionalism shown
