Skate park debate fires up Halswell Domain neighbours worried

GEORGIA Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;CONNORHARDING

Fed-up residents say problems caused by youth at Halswell Domain will increase if a skate park goes ahead. Nearby neighbours to the proposed site say they are concerned if a skate park is installed, problems with graffiti and property damage at the park and in nearby streets will rise. They say they have been plagued with issues for several years. Halswell Domain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beside the playground, Knights Stream Sports Park, Scott Park and an area next to a playground in Westlake Reserve were short-listed by city council as a possible site for $379,000 skate park. But residents are doing everything they can to stop it going into Halswell Domain. More than 120 residents have signed a petition against the project. It includes residents from James Hight Drive, William Brittan Ave, Dunsford Close and Parklea Ave. Brian Bailey, who lives on

James Hight Drive, said his car has had two broken windows in the past 12 months with the most recent incident about three weeks ago where his radar was stolen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (the skate park) will be right outside my house and about 150m from my front door and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just rubbish. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept that,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bailey said. Resident Patrick McMahn said at least once a month one

offence will occur at the public toilets or model train area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had issues since day one. We had the house tagged before we moved in.â&#x20AC;? Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora said the graffiti issue had only come to light after a deputation from staff at the meeting at a seminar earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that stage we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

aware the issue was as big as it is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite shocking.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mora said they are still committed to having a skate park in Halswell as the community has been asking for one for a long time. But a city council report showed widespread support with 60 per cent of the 280 people who submitted on the plan backing the Halswell

Domain location. The city council is considering two areas in Halswell Domain, 51 per cent chose the second area in the domain. Knights Stream was third most popular, followed by Westlake Reserve and Scott Park. Thirteen per cent of submitters chose Westlake Reserve while two per cent chose Scott Park.

Big plans for Bush Inn ‘Unique’ retailers and specialty stores on the cards BIGGER AND BETTER: Property and development manager Andy Bell said it is time for a change with new customer demographic. Below: An artist’s impression of the redevelopment. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

Thirty new retailers will be introduced as Bush Inn Centre redevelops into a “Melbournesque” mix of speciality food stores, boutique offerings and eateries. The busy shopping centre’s redevelopment will be finished mid-next year, with an added 3000 sq m of shopping space and about 90 retailers. Property and development manager Andy Bell said it is looking to boost its current stable of more than 60 retailers by 30 “unique” retailers. “We’re really attracting young professionals and families, so it’s time to create a very contemporary centre and build on the food offering we already have. “We’re looking at speciality stores, with a deli, craft beers, leather goods, cosmetics – real

specialist independent retailers, not your bog-standard mall.” The change is led by the addition of new eateries, such as Carl’s Jr. and the New York Deli, which are attracting a new demographic, Mr Bell said. “The recent addition of a whole raft of new restaurants is giving us a real fresh food lineup and it’s changing how we operate.” The new 3000 sq m Bush Inn

building, with Riccarton Rd frontage, is set to be joined to the current mall with covered pedestrian and vehicle access. It should also help clear up any current car parking issues by encouraging customers to use the underground parks, Mr Bell said. “The underground park is definitely not as utilised as it could be. We’re looking at the whole mall – stores, signage,

DEANS FARM BUILDING TO BE RESTORED One of Christchurch’s oldest buildings has survived both the earthquakes and a fire, and will now be restored. The brick Deans Farm building at Christchurch Boys’ High School is set to be rebuilt to be used as a museum and uniform store. One of the farm buildings, which were about 150 years old, was destroyed in the earthquakes and had to be demolished, while the remaining buildings were badly damaged in an arson in January. REPAIRS IN HEI HEI The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team is working in Hei Hei this week replacing part of the wastewater main and laterals in Ranui St. A small section of Ranui St will be closed while the crews dig down to the damaged pipes and replace them. ROAD NAME The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board has approved the road name St Brendans Lane in Templeton. The name of the road has come as part of a new residential subdivision of six allotments in Templeton. The site is the former St Brendans Roman Catholic Church which was demolished after the earthquake.

IndIes journey This is my 26th year in this amazing profession and I have to admit sadly I have never experienced “Breeding” first hand. My son Isaac nags us all the time to breed Abbysinnians as we are so in love with our two, Spartacus and Piper. All of us wanted to breed from Lola (I had loads of clients and staff wanting a pup of hers!) but after we realized she had the dreaded “Split Pad Disease”, we felt this was a cruel trait to pass down to unsuspecting new owners. AND then she developed kidney cancer, so we made the right decision to desex her which has made absolutely no difference to her personality or the awesome family member she has become. Very good friends of mine (Mala and Kev) have for a while expressed an interest in breeding from their impressive, young White Swiss Shepherd dog (WSSD) “Indie”. All Mala’s life she has loved and owned German Shepherds and had her fair share of heartaches with illness and hereditary disease, which sadly goes with the breed. Mala and Kev’s last treasured pet “Hunter” among other things, ended up having spinal surgery for lumbosacral disease in her later years. Then she succumbed to degenerative myelopathy and ended up living out her days happily in a doggie wheelchair. So for my dear friends, their pets are an extension of themselves, to be loved and cherished and they will go to any lengths to ensure they have the best life possible. As Mala says, “After Hunter and her spinal injury and likely degenerative myelopathy, we wanted to get another dog that had as many safeguards against the diseases that were common to German Shepherds and other large breeds. Lucky for us we stumbled across Pandora Kennels and their White Swiss Shepherds. It was here that we found a breeder who does health testing, hip and elbow scoring and breeding of good personality matches with the aim of ultimately improving the WSSD. When we got Indie we never thought breeding from her would be an option but we quickly developed a friendship with Tanya and her family which has allowed us to embark on this journey. Tanya had watched Indie grow and became to realize she was a fine example of the breed. This means a good balance of desired temperament, conformation and breed requirements. Firstly Indie under went hip and elbow radiographs at McMaster & Heap to make sure her scores were good and she wasn’t going to pass down undesirable traits. DNA tests were also performed to check for common diseases in this breed. The main diseases tested for in this breed are Degenerative Myelopathy Von Willebrands and MDR1 (Multi drug resistance). A cheek swab is all that is needed. Indie passed all the tests with flying colours. Obviously Mala has her fully vaccinated and up to date with parasite control. As you can see from the photos, she’s a picture of glamour, confidence and health. The next step in the long process to “puppies” was finding a mate for Indie, changing the

pedigree papers to allow breeding and organizing the right time as Mala would need time off work to supervise Indie and her babies. WSSD’s can have large litters so many hands on deck were likely especially in the early weeks. The breeder Tanya looked carefully at males available and their bloodlines to make sure there wasn’t any inbreeding at play. Floyd from Levin was the lucky stud dog chosen. Indie came into season at the beginning of April, which started with bloodspots and lasted for about 10-14 days before she’d allow Floyd to mate her. When she ovulates this means she will stand for the male dog and allow mating. She may be mated several times over 2-4 days around this period. After ovulation and mating, there is another week where the bitch ‘cools down’ before she is totally safe to be walked on the streets again. So the waiting game now begins. How exciting for us all to follow Indie, her pregnancy and hopefully new babies in June/July. Firstly Mala and Kev will notice a change in behavior, maybe she will gain a bit of weight and her nipples will pink up. Catherine will be able to ultrasound at around 28 days to see if there are “multiple” fetal heart beats. A blood test at around day 22-28 can determine a pregnancy based on high relaxin levels. I will definitely keep you all posted – follow us on Facebook to learn more about Indie and her journey to new life! Now a little about the WSSDs from the Breeder…. White Swiss Shepherd dogs are relatively rare and new in New Zealand. The breed originates from German Shepherds, which included white sheepherding dogs when the breed was formed back in the 1800’s. The white colour became undesirable after WW2, so whites were only bred in secret. Luckily Switzerland approved a new breed in 1991 called White Swiss Shepherds and now this breed is recognized in most countries over the world. The White Swiss Shepherds still have similarities to their cousins the German Shepherds but everyone owning a white will notice the difference in looks and temperament. White Swiss Shepherds are family dogs who love children and visitors and are non-aggressive towards other dogs. They need regular exercise and excel in dog sports. Of course socialization and proper training is the key to a well mannered dog. What Mala and Kev say about their breed….. The things that impress us most about the breed are their personalities and physical stature. They are bred to be strong, particularly in the hips, an area where other breeds lack consistency and health. Their personality is 10/10- they are friendly, calm, loyal and protective when needed....they truly are mans best friend! The breed is one that, in our mind, represents a strength of character and presence that is unsurpassed. They simply are a fantastic breed! Dr Michele McMaster

DANGER: Smoke pours from a vessel in the port of Lyttelton on Monday.

Ship fires are challenging

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Last Monday saw the latest ship fire in port at Lyttelton. I say latest because while these events are uncommon they have occurred here at different times over the years. Ship firefighting is probably one of the most challenging scenarios for firefighters. They involve entry into an unfamiliar environment which involves close confined spaces encased in steel that becomes searingly hot. There’s only limited ability to vent smoke so

firefighters often work by touch inside their protective clothing relying on the breathing apparatus on their back to keep them alive. For the incident commanders there are further considerations that must be factored in. If you pour enough water into a ship eventually the liquid can start to slop. The ship will list, more water will pour to the lower side and as has occurred at several times throughout history, the vessel may well fall over. That’s something you are acutely aware of when you’re sending firefighters into to quell a fire.

SuPER

LOW PRICES! Over 60 health products on special every day. Locally owned and operated. Giving health advice since 1992.

It’s why everyone is relieved when the fire is extinguished reasonably quickly without incident as happened on Monday. Four people, including ship’s crew were treated for smoke inhalation. On the subject of smoke inhalation nobody should be surprised that one of the four kitchen fires this week involved somebody having to receive treatment for smoke inhalation. Every week is the same. Occasionally it becomes more serious. Sometimes people die. If you can’t immediately extinguish the fire, for goodness sake, get out, close the door, phone 111. Simple you’d think!

Break-through on bicycle thefts

GOOD DEED: From left: Prep manager Cristian Hernandez, manager Joselyn Cadacio, owner Steve Goodgame and crew Adrienne Te Reo will be holding a fundraiser for Child Cancer Foundation next Tuesday.

ANDREW KING

Police appear to have cracked a group which have been stealing expensive bicycles and then selling them cheaply online. About 25 high-end bicycles have been stolen from Burnside High School and Canterbury University over the last month. Acting Sergeant Nic Adcock from Papanui said the suspects have been identified in the Burnside High case. He said they are close to making an arrest. “The biggest market to on-sell these bikes is online. I have seen stolen bikes being sold online for anywhere between $80-$250, which is well below what they are worth,” he said. The thefts around Burnside died down after two teachers chased two youths attempting to steal a bicycle off the school site. Five bicycles have been reported stolen from the school. The university has not been so lucky with more than 20 bicycles stolen from the campus. Acting Sergeant Adcock said while there was no evidence yet to say the thefts are linked, it was highly likely that they are.

Police believe the offenders cycle to the campus and then depart on stolen expensive mountain bikes. Engineering student Tim Green recently managed to chase off two youths attempting to cut the lock on his mountain bike. He spotted them from the window where he was studying. Student Charles More was not so lucky – his bicycle was stolen from in front of the University of Canterbury Student Association on April 7 during the day.

UCSA president James Addington said the association was working with security on police to prevent further thefts. Both Mr Green and Mr More said it has made them reluctant to cycle to university and they will buy cheap bicycles to get to class in future. HAVE YOUR SAY: Have you had a bicycle stolen recently?

A mexican restaurant in Wigram will be helping kids fighting cancer by running a special fundraising evening next week. Mexicali Fresh Wigram will be holding a night where all profits made from each meal sold will go directly to the Child Cancer Foundation. This will include drinks and a raffle. “As you can appreciate the CCF do amazing work with children and families who are impacted by cancer,” franchise owner Steve Goodgame said. The CCF’s aim is to reduce the impact of cancer by offering services to ensure children and their families are supported. It will be the first time the

newly opened restaurant will be holding a fundraiser and if it goes well they are planning more for the future. Mr Goodgame said depending on how many people show up, they hope to raise a “couple of thousand” dollars although they don’t have a specific target. “We have a little girl ourselves. When you think how hard it would be for a family who has to deal with that.” Christchurch representative from the CCF Tanya Cooke will be attending the evening. Companies donating stock and supplies for the evening are Tegel NZ, Bidvest, Freshpork NZ, Westmeat Christchurch. The fundraiser will be next Tuesday (May 3) 6-9pm at Mexicali Fresh Wigram on Cosair Drive.

Focused on health, jewellery making After being in and out of a coma for five months, Angelah Rose, 25, believes in living life to the fullest. She spoke to Georgia O’ConnorHarding about fighting back from health problems, her successful jewellery business and burlesque dancing. You have led an interesting life. We’ll start with the burlesque dancing. I got into dancing about three years ago. I started off doing burlesquercise with burlesque dancers Bonita Dangerdoll and Ruby Ruin. I basically fell in love straight away and asked them to be my mentors. I have been learning from them for the last few years until I got sick last year. What happened? I came down with hyponatremia which is when you have a sodium deficiency. Basically I didn’t get enough sodium in my body and so it depleted all my vitamins and minerals. I was in hospital for five and a half months. I couldn’t walk for about three months of that. I was bed-ridden for the whole of the duration. In and out of a coma. It was really scary because it took the hospital three months to

figure out what was wrong with me. I lost 20kg. It was pretty horrific. But since then I have gotten back on my feet – my health is a lot better. But I’ve come out with a chronic pain disorder. Tell me about your chronic pain disorder? So I have recovered fully from the hyponatremia. However, it did trigger the underlying pain disorder. I have pains in my hands and my feet. It is affected by hot and cold weather. It is basically an artery disorder. The blood tries to flow but the arteries close and that is what causes pain. It’s the extreme temperatures that trigger it. And when you were in a coma were you aware of your surroundings? I knew what was going on and it felt like a fight between life and death. This will sound really

weird but it felt like the afterlife – I don’t know about that but it felt like I was waiting for a decision to be made. It didn’t feel like I was in control. The last time I woke up my friend came in and half her hair was black and half was red, like the Harlequin character. My friend wears bright colours and I feel like that was the reason I woke up. I was stimulated by seeing the bright hair colour. It must have been a

traumatic experience being in such a state. It was horrible. It was the most peaceful part though because I was in a lot of pain. Because the hospital didn’t know what was wrong with me for a long time, they continually sent me home the first month with morphine and all these horrible painkillers I didn’t need to be on at all because that was not what was wrong with me.

before you went in a coma? No, it was just being over it, being in pain. Hating it and waiting for doctors to fix me. And being upset that no one was doing anything to figure out what was wrong with me. It didn’t feel like they were trying hard enough or I was being listened to. My whole body was in pain and I was in hot sweats. Could you describe to me what effect it had on your family and friends?

and dance after battling sickness To be honest it had a really negative effect on them. I didn’t see a lot of them for a long time because some of them couldn’t cope with what was happening. My mum along with other members in my family had to get counselling. It was traumatic for everybody involved. And it took me a long time to handle that because I felt responsible for making people feel that way. Because the doctors took so long to find out. Some weeks they figured out what was wrong and the next week it would be something else. Did you get into hospital quickly? No. I went into emergency every two nights straight before they even listened. Once they thought they figured it out they sent me home. I went home for three days and had another collapse and they put me back in hospital. My mum came in and said she wouldn’t leave until they had run every test they could. How are you doing now? I now have my own shop out in New Brighton. I make jewellery, dance and focus on my health. I do pace myself. I started making jewellery about

four years ago. I am really wellknown for my body pieces. Tell me about your jewellery business – Angelah Rose Jewellery? My shop is out at 105 Brighton Mall. What I learnt when I got out of hospital was I didn’t want to work for anybody

else other than friends or family if I needed to for help. You need to being doing things every day that makes you happy. I’m working for myself and living all my dreams. It did bring me closer to jewellery. I didn’t use to enjoy it as much but now I

know what I can do with it. People originally wore jewellery not only for ornamental reasons – they wore it because metal is conductive. They conduct energy. All precious stones hold energy. It’s how people healed themselves in the old days. It is great to hear you are still dancing. I have just got into burlesque in the last three months and I love it. It is the one thing I cried about most when I was in hospital – not being able to dance. It was so hard. I love dancing and it is my passion. Is burlesque dancing for anyone? Anybody can do it. Male, female any shape and size. Even if you don’t have rhythm – it is so much fun. There are ladies of all walks of life that do it where I attend. It is empowering for women. It teaches you how to be yourself and shine as bright as you can. It lets you not allow any social perception get you. Has it taken you anywhere in terms of travelling? Not yet. To be honest I haven’t taken it as seriously as I could. But that is something I want to get into more in the future.

I have the opportunity to get a burlesquercise licence which I will probably take to another town and teach it. But now I am just learning as much as I can. I would like to take burlesque to Queenstown where I grew up because there is nothing like that at the moment. I have got a lot of modelling jobs from it so far. Wow, what modelling have you done? It is just with photographers throughout New Zealand. So there have been a couple of men’s magazines that I have featured in. The most recent one was the ALTearoa magazine. What is the most important thing you have taken away from being in hospital? It has been terrible but it hasn’t stopped me living a full life. It has given me a new perspective to take each moment. And also health is wealth. Looking after yourself and eating properly. All you need is to get a blood test every now and again to make sure everything is all good. I hadn’t been to the doctor for a year before having hyponatremia but now I will be getting regular check ups.

Kids learn art Holiday of camouflage Fun Children from around Hornby and Wigram have been mastering the art of camouflage as part of the Air Force Museum’s April school holiday programme. The programme “Hiding in

Plane Sight” has been running since last Monday and will be running again this week. Last week children had the chance to try their hand at putting on camouflage face-paint and practiced blending into the

natural environment. Children have also been learning about building observation posts, practicing stealth moves through obstacle courses and playing hide and seek.

FACE PAINT: Poppy Cuthbert and Kate Moran getting creative with face paint.

FUN DAY: Richard Yeoh shows off his face paint. ART: Hamish Preston and Air Force Museum staff DISGUISE: member Nina Finigan Robbie McNab ready to blend into the natural environment.

EXCITEMENT: The Hornby Nursery Black team with club president Brent Tomlison can’t wait to welcome the Penrith Panthers to Lesley Park on May 11.

Junior Panthers to host older counterparts

A junior Hornby rugby league club will be hosting the NRL Penrith Panthers for a special coaching clinic for junior players. Leslie Park has been selected as the venue where the Panthers will get up close with about 200 players from all junior clubs across Canterbury on May 11. This will be three days before the Panthers take on the Warriors at AMI Stadium. The coaching clinic is one key element of Panthers’ extensive community engagement in Christchurch as part of their four-year commitment to the city. Hornby Panthers President Brent Tomlinson said the club can hardly contain its excitement about rubbing shoulders with the famous NRL stars from Sydney. Event organiser Justin Wallace says that Hornby was an obvious choice for Panthers’ first community engagement. “Hornby is one of Christchurch’s most

successful clubs and of course the Panthers wanted to meet the other Panthers,” Mr Wallace said. The Penrith Panthers have the largest junior division in rugby league in the world with more than 9500 members and is famous for their successful coaching programmes. Tomlinson said his players and coaches are looking forward to picking up some tips from one of the best teams in Australia. The Panthers of the Hornby Nursery Black team have also had the exciting opportunity to play the curtain-raiser ahead of their NRL stars.

your local Views Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora writes on the location of the Halswell skate park. I was quoted that I had revealed the city council’s preferred location is Halswell Domain. I wish to clarify that this is not the city council’s or the community board’s preferred location. The comment that I made indicated that Halswell Domain ticked more of the boxes than the other three sites in the site selection process and the consultation feedback is all still work in progress. All submissions and project team feedback is now available on the council website and council staff are in the process of organising a community workshop. There is still considerable work to do alongside the community before a preferred location is identified • Editor’s note: The reporter quoted Mr Mora accurately. A reader responds to Western News article on the possibility of the Halswell skate park being installed at Halswell Domain: Anya Besley: I and many of us who live at William Brittan do not want the skate park

because of the following reasons: There is already a wonderful play park there which is used by parents and grandparents with young kids. This park will either have to be displaced or will be affected by the skate boarders. The city council has to look for additional funds to make changes. There is a mini railway which draws in people from different parts of Christchurch. The skate park will affect this. Parking will be an issue. I cannot see any reason to have another sports facility (young boys will be the main users) when there are already many other facilities for boys in the area. Why is the fund not spent for facilities for the older residents or girls? Perhaps outside gym equipment similar to that outside the Hagley Golf Club clubrooms. The city council needs to have proper consultation to understand the needs of the residents rather that spend precious funds on something which is not wanted by the local residents and which will have adverse effect on the existing facilities.

All dogs are born good Dog attacks are back in the news again. Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue founder Abbey van der Plas (right) writes about perceptions of ‘dangerous breeds’. What are your views? Email andrew. king@starmedia.kiwi Why do I always feel so defensive whenever there is a dog attack in New Zealand? ‘Pitbull’ attack gets thrown around in the media and it makes all of us responsible owners cringe. The stares and whispers have lasted longer while walking lately, the head shaking and finger pointing has been more prominent, and the hate on social media has gotten completely out of control. Why? Because some people decide to get a dog, confine it to their yards, not socialise it with the outside world, not desex it, not register or microchip it, and then expect this dog to react appropriately when put in a situation it has never learned to cope with. The fact is when you get a dog, no matter what breed, it is your responsibility to train and socialise this dog. It is your

responsibility to keep your dog and visitors to your home safe. Pitbulls are not born dangerous, I can guarantee you that, but they do require strong, responsible and knowledgeable owners. Yes, pitbulls were used for dog fighting, I am not denying this, but this does not at all mean that they are blind killing machines. Jack russells, chihuahuas, fox terriers and dachshunds were also all bred to hunt and kill other animals, and they too make amazing pets – when socialised and trained correctly. All dogs are born good. The pitbulls you see in the media, and the dogs you see roaming your streets are the minority of

bull breed dogs. They are the less fortunate ones, the ones being bred from, neglected, left to roam, not given adequate care, training or socialisation. We are the majority. You don’t see or hear of our wonderful family pets because they are kept safe within our homes and treated with the love and respect every dog deserves. We need to have a serious look at our animal management systems and make sure we are doing everything we can to educate owners, educate children, enforce mandatory desexing and keep our dogs and children safe. I challenge anyone to meet my pitbull and leave still thinking they are a horrible breed.

Letting go of old ways how mind techniques made the difference for one woman When Alison Lyons Kenny enrolled in one of Click Weight Success’ 5-week programme last year, she didn’t realise just how much of a change it would make in her life.

er initial aim was to figure out how she could lose weight and through their techniques she quickly understood that her eating was connected with how she felt. Turning to food was often an emotional reaction, but now, she says that food is no longer a crutch. She credits the tools she learned from Click Weight Success with her transformation. When she reaches for food, she asks herself, “Do I really want it? Do I need it? Will it satisfy me?” Those simple questions have made a huge difference. “I tell myself, ‘Well, actually, it won’t,’ so I go onto something else.” Her confidence shines through. She now wears shorts and dresses and she can accept a compliment. “I would be able to tell people ‘that looks lovely on you,’ but I was very critical of myself. Now I accept things more.” She has noticed the difference in how she feels when she wakes up most mornings, in

her attitude to food, which she is actually enjoying as, unlike being on a diet, she eats what and when she wants, and in her attitude to life. “I am letting go of stuff. I held onto so much when I was heavy that I just ate. Now I focus more on what’s in my life and where I want my life to go. I’m finally happy with me.” This summer Alison enjoyed getting in the pool and playing with her children instead of feeling self-conscious. She is pleased she lost weight over Christmas but doesn’t care what the scales say. “I know I’m still losing weight because of my clothes”. Her message for others trying to lose weight? “Do the Click course. I wish I could have in my 20’s because of the mindset it gives you” If you want to feel as good as Alison, Click Weight Success’s next five-week programme begins on Thursday 5th May, one-day workshop Saturday 7th May and individual appointments as arranged.

Ensuring a safe work place

earning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? Not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. It is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. Take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPR. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. The majority of injuries occur outside of the

work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. New Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in Australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. Fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. If you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

Distinctive styling, wonderful buying 26B Highland Place, Avonhead Auction: May 05, 2016

estled on an 819-square-metre section in the heart of an eminently popular pocket of the city, our feature property really is the ultimate family home! Our owner, who is an architect, has imbued this 1970s home with a sense of style and sophistication that is timeless. Four double bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes) provide ample accommodation and are complemented by a well-appointed bathroom (with new vanity) and a separate powder room. The kitchen is simply exceptional, with everything from the soft-close drawers and cupboards to the fabulous finish, contributing to a space that’s sure to impress even the most discerning chef. Spacious open-plan living areas spill seamlessly out to the expansive grounds, where landscaped gardens, lush lawns and a large, sun-soaked deck promise endless hours of family fun. An office off the double garage adds to the appeal, as does the zoning for sought-after Riccarton High and Avonhead School, while the proximity to a host of convenient amenities ensures everything you could ever need is within easy reach. With the build of their new home about to begin, our owners are excited about moving forward. Act quickly, as this one is sure to attract a lot of attention! Open Homes: Saturday, April 30, and Sunday, May 1, from 1pm to 1.45pm.

See you at the open homes or call me today for a private viewing appointment - contact Deb Harvey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 220 6565.
